How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Opinion dynamics: damped oscillations, consensus and polarization
The changes of political trends are very common nowadays. Understanding the dynamics of voting intension of citizens is essential in anticipating the outcome of elections. Are there patterns of behavior of voters at the collective level, or is the behavior completely random and unpredictable?
Starting from a simple model of opinion formation in which each voter can choose between two possible options, we introduce a factor of confidence in each individual that evolves with the interactions. This heterogeneity among voters and their interactions leads to a variety of collective behaviors, such as fast convergence to consensus and oscillations in the percentage of each opinion. We also explore the competition between two different mechanisms that can shape public opinion: persuasive arguments and social pressure. Depending on the relative strength of these mechanisms at play, the population can reach either a centralized state or a polarized state where most individuals have extreme opinions.
