Abstract
New challenges arise with the upsurge of a Big Data era. Huge volumes of data, from the most varied natures, gathered from different sources, collected in different timings, often with high associated uncertainty, make the decision-making process a harsher task. Current methods are not ready to deal with characteristics of the new problems. This paper proposes a novel data selection methodology that filters big volumes of data, so that only the most correlated information is used in the decision-making process in each given context. The proposed methodology uses a clustering algorithm, which creates sub-groups of data according to their correlation. These groups are then used to feed a forecasting process that uses the relevant data for each situation, while discarding data that is not expected to contribute to improving the forecasting results. In this way, a faster, less computationally demanding, and effective forecasting is enabled. A case study is presented, considering the application of the proposed methodology to the filtering of electricity market data used by forecasting approaches. Results show that the data selection increases the forecasting effectiveness of forecasting methods, as well as the computational efficiency of the forecasts, by using less yet more adequate data. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Abstract
Este artigo tem origem em uma prática pedagógica inventiva realizada durante a pesquisa “A Cidade como Espaço de Aprendizagem: Pra´ticas pedago´gicas inovadoras para a promoc¸a~o da cidadania e do desenvolvimento social sustenta´vel”, desenvolvido no contexto do Grupo Internacional de Pesquisa Educação Digital - GPedU Unisinos/CNPq, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos – UNISINOS. O artigo propõe discutir o processo de ensino e de aprendizagem de matemática com base no pensamento teórico contemporâneo, apresentando reflexões sobre a experiência OnLIFE vivenciada enquanto professor-pesquisador-cartógrafo, objetivando-se a apresentar uma alternativa pedagógica viável. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa, do tipo exploratória e descritiva, e se apropria  do método cartográfico de pesquisa intervenção para a produção e a análise dos dados. Compreende-se que em uma sociedade cada vez mais próxima de se tornar onlife é necessário inventar práticas pedagógicas que emergem na/pela cultura digital.

Abstract
One of the technologies based on information technology used today is the VANET network used for inter-road communication. Today, many developed countries use this technology to optimize travel times, queue lengths, number of vehicle stops, and overall traffic network efficiency. In this research, we investigate the critical and necessary factors to increase the quality of VANET networks. This paper focuses on increasing the quality of service using multi-agent learning methods. The innovation of this study is using artificial intelligence to improve the network's quality of service, which uses a mechanism and algorithm to find the optimal behavior of agents in the VANET. The result indicates that the proposed method is more optimal in the evaluation criteria of packet delivery ratio (PDR), transaction success rate, phase duration, and queue length than the previous ones. According to the evaluation criteria, TSR 6.342%, PDR 9.105%, QL 7.143%, and PD 6.783% are more efficient than previous works.

Abstract
This paper aims to contribute to the conceptual debate on the connection between social innovation and social entrepreneurship, considering the role of the ‘social’ within this connection. Supported by a systematic literature review (SLR) with an in-depth analysis of 34 articles from Scopus-indexed and Web of Science databases journals, this paper identifies, analyzes and describes the difficulties and opportunities in the social innovation and social entrepreneurship literature. Little is known about the link between both concepts and the influence of the ‘social’ in their development and implementation. This SLR was conducted to identify and describe definitions and patterns. Results show that the connection between social innovation and social entrepreneurship is in its take-off phase, but it still is a fragmented field with a huge lack of consensus. Thus, it will be important to see where the field will head, as this paper aims to be a first step in the understanding of social innovation and social entrepreneurship through a collective and integrated perspective, providing an elucidation of the different perspectives of the literature. © 2022 China Ordnance Society
