Transcripts Acknowledgments I first wish to thank my supervisor Univ.-Prof.Dr. Mathilde Eveline Keizer for her patience and her support of my research project, even though it took longer than expected. Especially at the beginning of my research her guidance helped me a lot. I am grateful to every single person who was involved in my research and for their trust and interest. Without them this would not have been possible. I owe a debt of gratitude to my parents who have supported me and my interests since I was a child. I know it cannot be taken for granted to have such caring and loving parents and I appreciate it. My appreciations and thanks also go to my friends, to Stefan, Rudi, Andi and Radix Skateshop for supporting me and my skateboarding, to Gernot for introducing me to the skateboarding culture and to superb music, to Brucki, H-God, Marc and Gero for taking care of me when I was weak, for sharing my love for skateboarding and for everything you did. Thank you Birgit and Chris. I always enjoy your company.

Introduction Skateboarding dates back to the 1950s and has its roots in suburban America. It has become a youth culture which provides its members with a novel identity that sets themselves apart from mainstream culture. After an initial boom, skateboarding became a small underground movement due to the absence of recognition by mainstream culture. However, it regained popularity in the 1990s, which allowed the youth movement to quickly proceed with constructing its own lifestyle, including music, behavior, a certain style of language and fashion. All of these aspects serve as codes used by members of this youth culture to distinguish themselves from everyone who is not part of their group. One medium where such codes are utilized and put into context is language itself, either spoken or written, like in skateboard magazines (Ryu 2005: 305f.). Skateboarding has many facets and can be portrayed through various perspectives, ranging from skateboarding as an extreme sport to skateboarding as a youth culture or subculture. It is portrayed differently by various authors. While Beal (2013: 1) claims that skateboarding is interwoven into mainstream culture and can be seen either as a mainstream

Abstract Introduction: Skateboarding is one of the most popular cultures in Brazil, with more than 8.5 million skateboarders. Nowadays, the discipline of street skating has gained recognition among other more classical sports and awaits its debut at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games. This study aimed to explore the state-of-the-art for inertial measurement unit (IMU) use in skateboarding trick detection, and to develop new classification methods using supervised machine learning and artificial neural networks (ANN).Methods: State-of-the-art knowledge regarding motion detection in skateboarding was used to generate 543 artificial acceleration signals through signal modeling, corresponding to 181 flat ground tricks divided into five classes (NOLLIE, NSHOV, FLIP, SHOV, OLLIE). The classifier consisted of a multilayer feed-forward neural network created with three layers and a supervised learning algorithm (backpropagation). Results: The use of ANNs trained specifically for each measured axis of acceleration resulted in error percentages inferior to 0.05%, with a computational efficiency that makes real-time application possible.

NO SMALL TRIUMPH: THE OUTLOOK FOR ARGENTINA’S RENEWABLE ENERGY PROGRAMS Nicolas R. Oliver | International Immersion Program – Argentina I. INTRODUCTION Argentina is not a leading voice in the global conversation on climate change, but it is a significant one. Geographically, Argentina has tremendous renewable energy potential, primarily in the areas of wind, hydroelectric, and biomass generation.1 And despite its developing country status, Argentina has passed ambitious laws to incentivize renewable energy utilization in the electricity and transportations sectors.2 Public concern over anthropogenic climate change in Argentina is also higher than in most other countries,3 likely due to the intense desertification, water scarcity, and glacial melt effects that 3.5–4ºC of warming would wreak on parts the country.4 Argentina should be a paradigmatic example of the type of country that the success of the Paris Climate Agreement depends upon—but so far, it isn’t.
