Smart logistics as a basis for the development of the smart city
2019
Abstract In this article the issues of role and meaning of intelligent technologies has been undertaken especially in area of logistics, without which development of smart cities would be actually impossible. Even though we can argue about it, what it actually means “intelligent”, without a doubt it covers use of modern Technologies. They let to reduce negative influence of flow of good and people in urbanized areas, at the same time they increase level of quality of life in the city. In the article we discussed a trial of defining concept of ‘smart city’. As a main goal we set indication of result in area of smart logistics, that let to optimize logistic processes through digitalization an…
Assessment of proneness to distraction: English adaptation and validation of the Attention-Related Driving Errors Scale (ARDES) and cross-cultural eq…
2016
Abstract Prior research developed the Attention-Related Driving Errors Scale (ARDES), a 19-item questionnaire aimed at evaluating the drivers’ predisposition to attentional error, and also provided validity evidence of ARDES measures across two countries: Argentina and Spain. In the current work we adapt the Spanish version of the ARDES to the English language and the culture, traffic regulations and driving habits of the UK, and then provide new evidence of the cross-cultural equivalence of the scale. First, an improved forward and backward translation design was used to translate the Spanish ARDES into English. A committee-approach review process was also performed during the translation …
A Lexicon-based Approach for Sentiment Classification of Amazon Books Reviews in Italian Language
2016
We present a system aimed at the automatic classification of the sentiment orientation expressed into book reviews written in Italian language. The system we have developed is found on a lexicon-based approach and uses NLP techniques in order to take into account the linguistic relation between terms in the analyzed texts. The classification of a review is based on the average sentiment strenght of its sentences, while the classification of each sentence is obtained through a parsing process inspecting, for each term, a window of previous items to detect particular combinations of elements giving inversions or variations of polarity. The score of a single word depends on all the associated …
Language Policy and Ethnic Tensions in Quebec and Latvia
2004
Introduction Concern for the French language in Quebec in the 1960s and 1970s and the Latvian language in the then Soviet Union in the late 1980s and in the new Latvian state in the 1990s were ignited by some of the same demographic and assimilative forces in the two societies. Both Quebec and Latvia had lost their independence to larger powers. The birth rate and population declined abruptly in the two subnations. Schools in English (in Quebec) and Russian (in Latvia) attracted most immigrants. The elites were disproportionately drawn from outside the majority ethnic groups. To counter these trends, language policies were drafted, restricting access to English and Russian languages in scho…
Escritura colaborativa en línea. Un estudio de la revisión textual compartida en la formación inicial de maestros
2020
espanolPresentamos, en el marco de los proyectos de innovacion de la Universidad de Valencia, el analisis de una experiencia de escritura colaborativa en linea. Desde una perspectiva que reune las tesis de escritura y evaluacion como herramientas para aprender, se aplica una metodologia de investigacion-accion para el seguimiento de un proceso de aprendizaje colaborativo: escritura individual, con revision y evaluacion compartidas, a traves de un diario virtual que recoge las sesiones presenciales de la asignatura Lengua Espanola para Maestros, de primer curso de las titulaciones de Magisterio. La muestra analizada, perteneciente a dos cursos academicos, corresponde a la actividad de 84 est…
Los inventarios <em>post mortem</em> de la Valencia medieval. Una fuente para el estudio del consumo doméstico y los niveles de vida
2017
Los inventarios post mortem de la Valencia bajomedieval apenas han sido sometidos a algunas cuestiones básicas sobre su naturaleza ¿Qué los distinguía de otras listas de bienes y cuál era su fundamentación legal? ¿Por qué se realizaban? ¿Qué bienes recogían y cuáles omitían? ¿Cuántos inventarios se conservan en la actualidad? ¿Qué sectores de la sociedad medieval los solicitaban? Las respuestas que proporciona este artículo hacen evidente la potencialidad de un uso seriado y cuantitativo del inventario valenciano para el estudio del consumo doméstico, una vía de análisis que permitiría medir con precisión cambios en los niveles de vida de la sociedad bajomedieval a un nivel muy difícil de l…
Les rencontres improbables dans "les années 68"
2009
Resume Dans cette vaste periode de contestation que constituent les annees 68, des rencontres improbables se produisent. Celles-ci s’inscrivent dans la longue histoire des intellectuels desireux d’aller au peuple et notamment vers les ouvriers. Mais elles s’accelerent dans un certain nombre de mobilisations du debut des annees 1960. En mai-juin 1968, a la faveur de la desectorisation de l’espace social, ces rencontres improbables connaissent trois formes exemplaires : autour des ouvriers s’agregent ainsi des etudiants, des techniciens et des cadres, des paysans enfin. Celles-ci se prolongent dans les annees suivantes, notamment lors de grands conflits, tels Lip ou le Larzac. Toutefois, ces …
Retour sur trois actes de Philippe Ier, roi de France
2000
Bei einer Sichtung der Altbestände der A.D. de la Marne trat das Original einer Königsurkunde von 1065 wieder zutage. Es handelt sich um ein Dokument, das Philipp I. zugunsten des Klosters Toussaints-en-1'Isle ausstellen ließ. Maurice Prou hatte in seiner Edition der Urkunden dieses französischen Königs (1908) das Original für verloren gegeben und den Text anhand von Kopien ediert (n° 20). Eine Analyse der äußerlichen und der textuellen Eigenheiten der Urkunde bestätigt verschiedene Annahmen von Prou, insbesondere die Zuweisung zur königlichen Kanzlei. Im Fall einer weiteren, von Prou edierten Urkunde (n° 6), die der König 1060 zugunsten des Klosters Marmoutier signierte, liegt eine Paralle…
Quine’s Fluted Fragment is Non-elementary
2016
We study the fluted fragment, a decidable fragment of first-order logic with an unbounded number of variables, originally identified by W.V. Quine. We show that the satisfiability problem for this fragment has non-elementary complexity, thus refuting an earlier published claim by W.C. Purdy that it is in NExpTime. More precisely, we consider, for all m greater than 1, the intersectionof the fluted fragment and the m-variable fragment of first-order logic. We show that this subfragment forces (m/2)-tuply exponentially large models, and that its satisfiability problem is (m/2)-NExpTime-hard. We round off by using a corrected version of Purdy’s construction to show that the m-variable fluted f…
Reflections on the Significance of Images in Genocide Studies: Some Methodological Considerations
2018
Social practices such as massacres, mass violence and the extermination of entire populations are not a historical novelty. Indeed, when Raphael Lemkin coined the term genocide in 1944 he was but giving a new name to an old crime.1 Such phenomena have been witnessed by humanity since Ancient times and historians, as well as artists and writers, have utilized every tool at their disposal to find ways to depict them and impress upon their audience the impact they had. Insofar as these are extreme phenomena that challenge the very notion of our humanity, such events inevitably test as well the limits of representation. Eyewitness accounts, historical narrations, philosophical observations, and…
