Computing the Original eBWT Faster, Simpler, and with Less Memory
2021
Mantaci et al. [TCS 2007] defined the \(\mathrm {eBWT}\) to extend the definition of the \(\mathrm {BWT}\) to a collection of strings. However, since this introduction, it has been used more generally to describe any \(\mathrm {BWT}\) of a collection of strings, and the fundamental property of the original definition (i.e., the independence from the input order) is frequently disregarded. In this paper, we propose a simple linear-time algorithm for the construction of the original \(\mathrm {eBWT}\), which does not require the preprocessing of Bannai et al. [CPM 2021]. As a byproduct, we obtain the first linear-time algorithm for computing the \(\mathrm {BWT}\) of a single string that uses …
Remote but Connected : Lapland as a Scene of Transnational Crime in Ivalo
2021
Set in a small town in the north of Finland, the crime TV series Ivalo (Arctic Circle, Finland, 2018) exemplifies the fascination of Nordic Noir with ‘remote’ locations as scenes of transnational crime. The plot seems to forebode the corona pandemic, portraying the spread of a life-threatening ‘Yemenite virus’ developed as a biological weapon from the Balkans to Lapland. In this article, I analyze how the virus narrative allows the series to bring new perspectives on Nordic Noir. The narrative emphasizes international connections while creating representations of places that can be characterized as both translocal (Greiner and Sakdapolrak 2013) and glocal (Robertson 2012). Because of its fa…
Sustainability Way Beyond Academia: Public Art as a Driver for Behavioural Change and the Participatory Quest of Gayle Chong Kwan
2021
The paper offers a survey on the recent academic interest surrounding the field of art and sustainability, arguing that scholars have lingered on descriptive studies, focusing on the assumed ‘emotional’ potential of art, or on an instrumental attitude towards art taken as just one more communication channel to deliver scientific data. One more strain of scholarly investigation emerged among art historians exploring recent environmentalist or ecological art, though without taking into full account its aesthetic dimension and thus how it contributes to different ways of knowledge production. The present research offers instead a take on public art practices showing their particular capability…

Discontinuous Galerkin models for composite multilayered shells with higher order kinematics
2021
Composite multilayered shells are widely employed in aerospace, automotive and civil engineering as weight-saving structural components. In multilayered shells, despite its versatility, the interplay between the curved geometry and the properties of the composite layers induces a complex distribution of the mechanical fields, which must be accurately resolved to safely employ generally curved composite shells as load-bearing structures. The problem can be addressed through the two-dimensional shell theories, which are based on suitable assumptions on the behavior of the mechanical fields throughout the thickness of the considered structures and are a viable strategy for reducing the computa…
Do opposite ends of same factors underlie life satisfaction vs. depressive symptoms among older people?
2021
Abstract Background Although depressive symptoms are more common among older than younger age groups, life satisfaction tends to remain stable over the life course, possibly because the underlying factors or processes differ. Aim To study whether the factors that increase the likelihood of high life satisfaction also decrease the likelihood of depressive symptoms among older people. Methods The data were a population-based probability sample drawn from community-dwelling people aged 75, 80, and 85 years (n = 1021). Participants’ life satisfaction was measured with the Satisfaction with Life Scale and depressive symptoms with the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Phy…
Innovación social y desarrollo territorial: una aproximación desde el análisis de redes sociales
2021
Diferentes ramas del conocimiento llevan muchos años estudiando las dinámicas de desarrollo rural desde distintas perspectivas, pero el concepto de innovación social ha abierto un nuevo enfoque de estudio. Esta nueva visión del desarrollo aporta algunos matices que antes no se recogían. La generación de cambios en la actitud o las percepciones de aquellos involucrados en iniciativas socialmente innovadoras y la importancia de las relaciones y de la colaboración por encima de la creación de un servicio o producto lo distinguen de otras perspectivas de desarrollo. Sin embargo, estos aspectos sociales suelen quedar en un segundo plano a la hora de ser estudiados, dada la dificultad de medir la…
Shifting Imageries: Gentrification and the New Touristic Images of the Inner City of Palermo
2021
After the bombings of 1943, the historic centre of Palermo was left with several crumbling buildings and a social situation of some concern. Therefore, over the last sixty years, all kinds of representations of Palermo have revolved around the presence of criminal organizations and the risks of living in the most dangerous areas of the city (including the city centre). These representations started to change around the beginning of the new century when the inner city of Palermo underwent an intense process of redefinition of its territorial identity. Several key factors may be used to explain this process: from traditional economic reasons concerning gentrification and touristification, to …
The Reality of African Trade Integration—Challenges of Implementation
2021
In the course of their evolution on the stylized path of economic integration, African RECs face a number of implementation challenges, beginning with a range of typical domestication issues for trade agreements. A fundamental problem is that African regional trade arrangements (RTA) are all based on two GATT/WHO clauses which do not require full internal liberalization. The chapter analyses how RTA implementation on this basis has led to a general logic of exclusions and exemptions in Africa’s trade relations and traces how entrenched empirical practice meant to serve developmental purposes—protection of the weakest economic actors—often caters to vested interests. Inconsistency is aggrava…

The importance of CSR on corporate reputation : A case study of the hotel industry
2021
Master's thesis in Business administration (BE501) In the last decades, corporate reputation has beengiven more attention than before (Pruzan, 2001). This is because it is essential for a company’s survival, and additionally, a good corporate reputation will bring along benefits (Fombrun, 2018; Resnick, 2004). Research suggests that the strongest determinant of corporate reputation is corporate social responsibility (Esen, 2013).Accordingly, the study seeks to investigate the relationship between corporate social responsibility and corporate reputation amongst two hotels from a management perspective. The research question of this thesis was “Is CSR instrumental for corporate reputation?”, …

El espesor de la representación: Joaquín Agrasot y el costumbrismo rural
2021
La vertiente costumbrista de Joaquín Agrasot ocupó un lugar predominante en el conjunto de su producción, tanto considerada desde el punto de vista de la gran cantidad de obras dedicadas a este género, como desde el de la extensión y continuidad con que el artista se dedicó a su práctica. También la vinculación de Agrasot con los asuntos de costumbres y personajes rurales revela una especificidad cronológica, porque optó por el costumbrismo para constituir el núcleo de su producción de madurez. El pintor que ayudó a la consolidación del reconocimiento crítico del género encontró en este, a su vez, el marco temático más adecuado para afirmar su poética e imponer su marca creativa personal. .
A hybrid nano-MOF/polymer material for trace analysis of fluoroquinolones in complex matrices at microscale by on-line solid-phase extraction capilla…
2021
Abstract A hybrid material (nano-metal organic framework@organic polymer, named as nano-MOF@polymer) was applied for the first time as sorbent for on-line solid-phase extraction capillary electrophoresis with ultraviolet detection (SPE-CE-UV). The resulting material was prepared building layer-by-layer a HKUST-1 (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology-1) nano-MOF onto the polymer surface, which allowed controlling the thickness and maximizing the active surface area. The sorbent was widely characterized at micro- and nano-scale to validate the synthesis and to establish the material properties. Then, fritless microcartridges (2 mm) were assembled by packing only a few micrograms of …

Imaginaire colonial et représentation visuelle des populations noire africaines. Le cas de la Guinée espagnole (1880-1968)
2021
Cet article est la reprise du texte introductif de l’ouvrage accompagnant l’exposition « Let’s bring blacks home ! Imaginación colonial y formas de aproximación gráfica de los negros de África (1880-1968) », qui se tint au Centre culturel La Nau de l’université de Valence (Espagne), en février-mars 2020 [1]. Le propos de l’exposition et de l’ouvrage consistait à analyser certaines formes d’appréhension iconographique des populations noires africaines dans le contexte de la culture de masse, notamment le cas, peu connu, de la Guinée espagnole, l’actuelle Guinée équatoriale. L’exposition était découpée en cinq sections illustrant (à travers des objets de collections publiques et privées, cart…

International audience; Les professionnels de santé doivent s'inscrire dans une démarche de formation médicale continue. Celle-ci est réglementée par le Développement Professionnel Continu (DPC), un dispositif initié en 2009 par la loi dite HPST (Hôpital, Patients, Santé et Territoires). Depuis 2016, le DPC est géré par l'Agence Nationale du DPC (ANDPC), un groupement d'intérêt public (GIP) constitué paritairement entre l'État et l'Union Nationale des Caisses d'Assurance Maladie (UNCAM). L'objectif de l'ANDPC est par conséquent de mieux former les professionnels de santé dans un souci d'optimisation des coûts. Cela représente un véritable enjeu sociétal dans le cadre de l'évaluation des pol…
Trīs gadus vecu bērnu runas attīstība pirkstu rotaļās
2021
Bakalaura darba tēma: Trīs gadus vecu bērnu runas attīstība pirkstu rotaļās. Viena no aktuālākajām problēmām mūsdienās ir pieaugušā iniciatīvas trūkums saskarsmē ar bērnu. Bērns nesaņem pietiekami daudz uzmanības no pieaugušā. Pieaugušais ikdienas gaitās izvirza citas prioritātes, bieži vien bērnu atstājot novārtā. Tā rezultātā tiek kavēta bērna vispārīgā (tajā skaitā runas) attīstība. Šī problēma var radīt negatīvu iespaidu uz turpmāko socializācijas procesu. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt pirkstu rotaļu ietekmi uz trīs gadu vecu bērnu runas attīstību. Bakalaura darba apjoms: Bakalaura darba pirmajā daļā tika veikts teorētisks apraksts par agrīnā vecuma vispārīgo raksturojumu veselumā, …
Maigret
2021
Présentation de Corinne François-Denève à propos des séries sur MAIGRET : les deux séries françaises (Richard et Cremer), la dernière série anglaise en date avec Rowan Atkinson, et la série italienne avec Gino Cervi. Elle montre comment Georges Simenon est un auteur très intermédia, dont l’œuvre va très vite être adaptée au cinéma, à la TV : d’abord « ailleurs » en GB, URSS, Japon, Italie (ici quelques mots sur série "pré-sérielle italienne") puis un film à la télévision française, et pour finir les deux séries. Elle décrit ensuite le personnage de Maigret dans les romans et nouvelles puis dans les séries : est ce un personnage médiocre ? Un personnage télévisuel ? Elle analyse ensuite plus…
An investigation of the diagnostic, predictive, and prognostic impacts of three colonic biopsy grading systems for acute graft versus host disease.
2021
Acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD) is an important, life-threatening complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). To investigate the value of multiple simultaneous colon biopsies in improving diagnostic accuracy in patients with aGvHD, we retrospectively analyzed 157 patients after alloHSCT. The biopsies were evaluated individually using three established histological grading systems (Lerner, Sale, and Melson). The maximum, minimum, median, and mean histological aGvHD grades were calculated for each patient, and the results were correlated with the Glucksberg grade of clinical manifestation of GvHD, steroid therapy status, and outcome. We found that…
Benthic community distribution pattern in Sandnesfjorden
2021
In the marine environment, benthic macrofauna plays a crucial role in carbon and nutrient cycling, decomposition, and as prey items for higher-level consumers. The distribution and composition of macrofauna were studied in seven stations along the southern Norwegian Sandnesfjord. The sampling strategy employed four replications per station, limiting them to three inner replicates (A2 & A3). Similar to other studied Norwegian fjords, the polychaete and bivalvia were more abundant than gastropoda,
The Chronology of Archaeological Assemblages Based on Automatic Bayesian Procedure: Eastern Iberia as Study Case
2021
The purpose of this work is to show an automatic Bayesian procedure to obtain accurate chronological information of archaeological assemblages characterized by palimpsest or neither radiocarbon dates and whose temporal information comes only from bifacial flint arrowheads.In this work, a classification based on the Dirichlet-multinomial inferential process and its posterior predictive probability distribution are applied. Its purpose is to predict the chronological period of archaeological assemblages (levels or sites) based on the predictive probability distribution of each bifacial flint arrowhead types defined in the Eastern Iberia during the 4th and 3rd millennium cal BC. The results of…
Gli Alliata di Villafranca e Salaparuta. La facciata torre della chiesa madre di Salaparuta
2021
The contribution traces the story relating to the construction of the tower facade of the Mother Church of Salaparuta, destroyed by the earthquake of the Belice Valley in 1968 and of which there are, in addition to the historical iconography, also many stone blocks that once constituted the imposing structure. The research conducted evaluates any designers, the reference models identifiable in some Austrian area solutions, the design constraints determined by the seismic rush of the area, the similarities and differences with the architectures of the same type identified in the eastern area of Sicily and built after the earthquake of 1693.
Element weighted Kemeny distance for ranking data
2021
Preference data are a particular type of ranking data that arise when several individuals express their preferences over a finite set of items. Within this framework, the main issue concerns the aggregation of the preferences to identify a compromise or a “consensus”, defined as the closest ranking (i.e. with the minimum distance or maximum correlation) to the whole set of preferences. Many approaches have been proposed, but they are not sensitive to the importance of items: i.e. changing the rank of a highly-relevant element should result in a higher penalty than changing the rank of a negligible one. The goal of this paper is to investigate the consensus between rankings taking into accou…

La figure de l’érudit au risque d’Internet
2021
International audience; L’expert profane ou amateur tend à devenir un pilier de la production d’une connaissance sociétalement utile, et pour le moins financièrement rentable. Dès lors, l’expertise amateur ou profane, se présentant souvent comme désintéressée et participant d’un savoir commun émancipateur dans une communauté d’appartenance, peut-elle s’inscrire dans un processus d’érudition renouvelée ? Cet érudit 2.0 est-il en mesure d’échapper à l’institutionnalisation de la connaissance et aux affres d’une lutte perpétuelle pour la reconnaissance symbolique ? Dans le contexte de plateformisation mondialisée du Net, la marchandisation généralisée d’une connaissance partagée et distribuée …
