All my life I have loved music, every note, and every rhythm. I have found that music can lift my spirits when they sink, can help me to look at the brighter side of a situation when all I see is darkness, and can find beauty in the simplest of things.

When I was 10 years old, I took up the saxophone and loved every minute of it. I played when I felt inspired, discouraged, isolated, joyful, and when I just needed to think. At that age, I sounded like little more than a swing that needs to be oiled, without much style or creativity other than a few loud blasts every now and then. Which explains how I was as a little kid; out going, independent, and very loud.

As I went through my first year of middle school, I would still play for the same reasons, but with a different style. Sometimes I would play very loud, and others quite soft. There were times that I played with great passion, and sometimes I just couldn’t seem to find the right notes. Music was my one way to say what I was thinking and feeling when I couldn’t find the words. When I had a message, music would deliver it.

I like to think that I have learned every life lesson from a music book. I have found that sometimes I need to slow down my pace, even if the person next to me is going faster. I have found that sometimes life will throw me notes that I have never seen before, and it isn’t whether or not I know them that defines the type of player I am, it is my willingness to learn them. Life will give me measures that I cannot handle, that I don’t know how to handle, but I can always find a way to work through them.

Q4094078 Inglês
During a postgraduate seminar focused on sustainable development, taught by a visiting European professor, a conflict arises: the professor insists that a major Brazilian research paper on local agroecology practices is 'not rigorous enough' because it relies heavily on local, community-based knowledge systems (traditional knowledge) rather than exclusively on Western, quantitative methodologies, which are prioritized in the Global North literature used in the course. Brazilian students feel their local epistemic tradition is being dismissed.
Which intervention strategy best aligns with Critical and Decolonial Perspectives to resolve the conflict and promote Epistemic Justice in the classroom?

Read the text below:
“With the promulgation of the bill 746/2016, converted into law in 2017, that reforms education in Brazil, English was made the only mandatory foreign language in schools, thus threatening the teaching/learning of other foreign languages such as Spanish, French, and Italian. […] Yet, the educational reforms and internationalization agendas are far from reaching consensus among linguists and higher education stakeholders when it comes to the use, teaching and learning of languages for internationalization purposes.”
Considering the need for a critical and sustainable internationalization agenda, which of the following is the most critical implication of making English the sole mandatory foreign language?

         Understanding bias in facial recognition technologies


    Over the past couple of years, the growing debate around automated facial recognition has reached a boiling point. As developers have continued to swiftly expand the scope of these kinds of technologies into an almost unbounded range of applications, an increasingly strident chorus of critical voices has sounded concerns about the injurious effects of the proliferation of such systems on impacted individuals and communities. Critics argue that the irresponsible design and use of facial detection and recognition technologies (FDRTs) threaten to violate civil liberties, infringe on basic human rights and further entrench structural racism and systemic marginalisation. In addition, they argue that the gradual creep of face surveillance infrastructures into every domain of lived experience may eventually eradicate the modern democratic forms of life that have long provided cherished means to individual flourishing, social solidarity and human self-creation. 


    Defenders, by contrast, emphasise the gains in public safety, security and efficiency that digitally streamlined capacities for facial identification, identity verification and trait characterisation may bring. These proponents point to potential real-world benefits like the added security of facial recognition enhanced border control, the increased efficacy of missing children or criminal suspect searches that are driven by the application of brute force facial analysis to largescale databases and the many added conveniences of facial verification in the business of everyday life.


    Whatever side of the debate on which one lands, it would appear that FDRTs are here to stay.
