How to measure political polarization in text-as-data? A scoping review of comp...

The rise of political polarization within western societies has been portrayed by events such as the United States Capitol riot or the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union. In this context, we argue that computational social science (CSS) methods offer a scalable and language- independent fashion to measure political polarization, enabling the processing of big data. In this vein, this article offers t...

Understanding Extreme Violent Behavior in Ultra Firms: Exploring Identity Fusio...

This paper explores a dialogical operationalization of identity fusion in the context of football firms. An in-depth life story interview with a longstanding member of a football firm involved in several violent episodes was qualitatively analyzed. The variety of positions of the self (I-positions) as well as the dialogical relations established by such positions were examined under themes associated with ident...

“I’m not the same, but I’m not sorry”: exploring dialogical positioning in the ...

This article traces the personal and cultural voices expressed in the life-story interview of a former politically violent militant regarding her engagement with and disengagement from the armed struggle. Rather than looking at the macro and meso aspects related to politically motivated violence, we examine micro-narratives which express individual arguments, sociocultural discourses, and negotiations within an...

Tracking narrative change in the context of extremism and terrorism: adapting t...

Existing models of deradicalisation, countering violent extremism (CVE), and counter-terrorism (CT) have lacked a clear theory of change, as well as robust empirical methodologies. This paper proposes an empirically-based systematic and transparent methodology – the Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS) – which is empirically sensitive, ethically defensible, and can be of use in the context of research to inf...

Estudo palinostratigráfico do setor Malhadinha, região NE Alvares, concelho de ...

Cartografia geológica realizada pelo Laboratório Nacional de Energia e Geologia (LNEG) acompanhada por estudos palinostratigráficos na região de Malhadinha, NE de Alvares, localizada no setor WNW da Faixa Piritosa Ibérica (FPI), concelho de Mértola, possibilitaram o conhecimento de detalhe da estratigrafia local. Apresentam-se as idades obtidas por palinologia para as formações Barranco do Homem e Filito-Quartz...

Controlling the operating conditions in an Operating Room

In this paper, we describe the development of a module capable of controlling environmental conditions, personnel movement and management of other important parameters for an operating room (OR) or surgery block. The base of assembly uses a real-life small scale model trying to simulate the systematic functionality of an OR as well as its crucial components. These include the regulation of environmental paramet...
