The NEASQC project aims at demonstrating and advancing the capabilities of NISQ-era devices through the development of practically-relevant use-cases. Under the category of Symbolic AI and Graph Algorith-mic algorithms, one of the use-cases that is being developed is for Quantum-enabled Natural Language Processing (QNLP). The objective of the QNLP use-case in NEASQC is to investigate, develop and com-pare existing methods in classical NLP with a QNLP approach to encode and process sentences in a hybrid classical-quantum workflow. This software deliverable D6.7 titled “QNLP alpha prototype” is an incremental update to the pre-alpha prototype delivered through D6.3 (Villalpando et al., 2021a, 2021b). The alpha prototype goes beyond the DisCoCat method (Coecke et al., 2010) used in the pre-alpha prototype to explore and implement an alternate method based on Dressed Quantum Circuits.

Triage and the timing of admission of low-risk pregnant women can affect the use of augmentation, epidural, and cesarean. The purpose of this analysis was to explore these outcomes in a community hospital by the type of provider staffing triage. This was a retrospective cohort study of low-risk nulliparous women with a term, vertex fetus laboring in a community hospital. Bivariate and multivariable statistics evaluated associations between triage provider type and labor and birth outcomes. Patients in this sample (N = 335) were predominantly White (89.5%), with private insurance (77.0%), and married (71.0%) with no significant differences in these characteristics by triage provider type. Patients admitted by midwives had lower odds of oxytocin augmentation (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.50, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.29-0.87), epidural (aOR = 0.29, 95% CI = 0.12-0.69), and cesarean birth (aOR = 0.308, 95% CI = 0.14-0.67), compared with those triaged by physicians after controlling for patient characteristics and triage timing. This study provides additional context to midwives as labor triage providers for healthy, low-risk pregnant individuals; however, challenges persisted with measurement. More research is needed on the specific components of care during labor that support low-risk patients to avoid medical interventions and poor outcomes.

This paper seeks to study curriculum as a form of organization of the learning process from the perspective of the learner, in online learning contexts. Departing from a theoretical and conceptual analysis of curriculum, understood as the conception, organization and structuring of the learning process, we analyzed different adults’ representations of online learning and their general conceptions of curriculum. The empirical data came from the application of a questionnaire, distributed online (study I, 833 participants), and semi-structured interviews (study II, seven participants). The results contribute to the reflection on curriculum in a digital context, and to describing the curriculum organization of the learning process adopted by each individual. We found that space and time, in addition to strategies and actors are the most dynamic curriculum components in these circumstances. The formal contexts in which institutionalised learning and the curricula in force therein, occur are central to the development of the personal learning curriculum. This leads us to question the possibilities and ways of reconfiguring curriculum, of conceiving it differently, in digital learning contexts.

A eficiência na proteção ambiental se torna cada vez mais necessária e urgente, sobretudo na sociedade contemporânea. Compreender a verdadeira raiz das ações lesivas ao meio ambiente e conscientizar a população à realização de práticas mais sustentáveis se faz um constante e importante desafio. É imperioso que cada indivíduo tenha plena consciência das consequências de suas atitudes ao meio ambiente como um todo, não visualizando apenas o meio em que vive ou seu entorno. A falta desta conscientização, o uso dos recursos naturais, bem como a escassez destes recursos contribuem para o surgimento de conflitos e, de modo consequente, um desequilíbrio socioambiental. Assim, se torna necessário encontrar, dentre os diversos meios de solução de conflitos, aquele mais adequado. O método a ser escolhido deve não somente solucionar a questão em litígio, mas também estabelecer uma efetiva compreensão por parte dos envolvidos em relação aos impactos de suas condutas e resultar na verdadeira conscientização em relação ao equilíbrio ambiental. Desta maneira, a mediação, por meio de uma gestão construtiva do conflito, se apresenta como um método adequado a proporcionar, não apenas a resolução da disputa, mas também a conscientização ambiental. Com isso, quando o agente que praticou o dano ambiental conscientiza-se de seu papel e influência em um amplo e complexo meio, procurará agir de forma a evitar e mitigar os impactos que suas ações ou atividades causam. Sendo assim, este trabalho visa evidenciar que a mediação devidamente aplicada pode ser um exitoso método apta a atingir o objetivo precípuo de preservação do meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado.

Latvian is the sole state language in the Republic of Latvia and one of the official languages of the European Union. There are about 1.5 million native Latvian speakers worldwide, of which 1.2 million live in Latvia, while the rest are scattered throughout the USA, Russia, Australia, Canada, UK, Germany, Ireland, as well as Lithuania, Estonia, Sweden, Brazil, and other countries. Latvian, though apparently small, is in fact approximately the 150th most spoken language from about 6,900 languages of the world. At least 500,000 non- Latvians speak Latvian besides their own native language. Since regaining independence in 1990, Latvian has had a state language status which extends to all spheres of language use. As a result, more and more minority language speakers in Latvia also now speak Latvian. The 1989 population census data showed that 23% of Latvia’s national minorities spoke the Latvian language. According to the 2000 population census data, the number of Latvian speakers among national minorities increased to 53%.

Valodu tehnoloģijas ir programmatūras sistēmas, kas izstrādātas darbam ar cilvēka valodu, tādēļ tās bieži dēvē par cilvēka valodas tehnoloģijām. Cilvēka valoda pastāv runas un rakstu formā. Lai arī vecākā un saistībā ar cilvēka evolūciju visdabiskākā valodas saziņas forma ir runa, sarežģīta informācija un lielākā daļa cilvēces zināsanu tiek glabātas un nodotas tālāk rakstiski. Runas un teksta tehnoloģijas apstrādā vai rada sīs atsķirīgās valodas formas, lai arī tās abas izmanto vārdnīcas, gramatikas un semantikas likumus. Tas nozīmē, ka valodu tehnoloģijas (VT) veido valodas saikni ar dažādās formās glabātām zināsanām neatkarīgi no veida (runas vai teksta), kādā informācija izteikta. attēlā ilustrēta VT daudzveidība. Sazinoties mēs kombinējam valodu ar citiem saziņas veidiem un informācijas līdzekļiem — piemēram, runātājs papildu informāciju var paust ar žestiem un mīmiku. Digitālie teksti veido saikni ar attēliem un skaņām. Filmu valoda var būt gan mutiskā, gan rakstiskā formā. Citiem vārdiem, runas un teksta tehnoloģijas pārklājas un mijiedarbojas ar citām tehnoloģijām, un tas atvieglo multimodālās saziņas un multivides dokumentu apstrādi.
