On identification of bilingual lexical bundles for translation purposes : the case of an English-Polish comparable corpus of patient information leaf…
2018
Grounded in phraseology and corpus linguistics, this paper aims to explore the use of bilingual lexical bundles to improve the degree of naturalness and textual fit of translated texts. More specifically, this study attempts to identify lexical bundles, that is, recurrent sequences of 3–7 words with similar discursive functions in a purpose-designed comparable corpus of English and Polish patient information leaflets, with 100 text samples in each language. Because of cross-linguistic differences, we additionally apply a number of formal criteria in order to filter out the bundles in each subcorpus. The results show that bilingual lexical bundles with overlapping discourse functions in text…
Project-Based Learning: A Case for Situated Translation
2006
The author proposes replacing the folk theoretical ‘conduit’ view of learning that still predominates in Translator Education with a principled understanding of cognitive and learning processes for the design of learning events in Translator Education. A collaborative, project-based educational experience is presented by way of illustration. In conclusion, an argument is made for studying collaborative learning events to gain insight into the multi-facetted nature of the learning process as well as of the translation process itself.
Diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases by means of texture analysis in magnetic resonance imaging
2017
Cardiovascular diseases constitute the leading global cause of morbidity and mortality. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become the gold standard technique for the assessment of patients with myocardial infarction. However, limitations still exist thus new alternatives are open to investigation. Texture analysis is a technique that aims to quantify the texture of the images that are not always perceptible by the human eye. It has been successfully applied in medical imaging but applications to cardiac MRI (CMR) are still scarce. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to apply texture analysis in conventional CMR images for the assessment of patients with myocardial infarction, as an …
Accidents du travail dans l’UE-15 et méthodes d’apprentissage automatique
2020
Les méthodes d’apprentissage automatique ont été utilisées comme outil de prédiction dans denombreux domaines, mais leur utilisation en santé et sécurité au travail est relativement nouvelle.C’est la raison pour laquelle, il serait intéressant d’utiliser ces méthodes dans la prévision desaccidents du travail, sur les données d’enquêtes européennes sur les conditions de travail. L’objectifde ce travail est de tester les performances des techniques d’apprentissage automatique dans lamodélisation et la prédiction d’accidents du travail. A cette fin, nous utiliserons trois modèles :(les forêts aléatoires) (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), modèle logistique. Nous observonsque, la performance d…
Land surface temperature and evapotranspiration estimation in the Amazon evergreen forests using remote sensing data
2019
Amazonian tropical forests play a significant role in global water, carbon and energy cycles. Considering the relevance of this biome and the climate change projections which predict a hotter and drier climate for the region, the monitoring of the vegetation status of these forests becomes of significant importance. In this context, vegetation temperature and evapotranspiration (ET) can be considered as key variables. Vegetation temperature is directly linked with plant physiology. In addition, some studies have shown the existing relationship between this variable and the CO2 absorption capacity and biomass loss of these forests. Evapotranspiration resulting from the combined processes of …
Income and Physical Activity among Adults: Evidence from Self-Reported and Pedometer-Based Physical Activity Measurements
2015
This study examined the relationship between income and physical activity by using three measures to illustrate daily physical activity: the self-reported physical activity index for leisure-time physical activity, pedometer-based total steps for overall daily physical activity, and pedometer-based aerobic steps that reflect continuous steps for more than 10 min at a time. The study population consisted of 753 adults from Finland (mean age 41.7 years; 64% women) who participated in 2011 in the follow-up of the ongoing Young Finns study. Ordinary least squares models were used to evaluate the associations between income and physical activity. The consistency of the results was explored by us…
Unsupervised network intrusion detection systems for zero-day fast-spreading network attacks and botnets
2015
Today, the occurrence of zero-day and complex attacks in high-speed networks is increasingly common due to the high number vulnerabilities in the cyber world. As a result, intrusions become more sophisticated and fast to detrimental the networks and hosts. Due to these reasons real-time monitoring, processing and intrusion detection are now among the key features of NIDS. Traditional types of intrusion detection systems such as signature base IDS are not able detect intrusions with new and complex strategies. Now days, automatic traffic analysis and anomaly intrusion detection became more efficient in field of network security however they suffer from high number of false alarms. Among all …
Tunnetyön kuormittavuus terveydenhuoltoalalla : palvelumotivaatio ja transformationaalinen johtajuus puskuroivina voimavaroina
2015
Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tavoitteena oli kartoittaa tunnetyön kuormittavuutta suomalaisella terveydenhuoltoalalla. Työn vaatimusten ja voimavarojen mallia (JD-R) hyödyntäen tutkimme, kuinka tunnetyön kuormittavuus työn vaatimustekijänä ja transformationaalinen johtajuus sekä palvelumotivaatio työn voimavaratekijöinä ovat yhteydessä työuupumukseen. Tutkimusaineistoon valikoitui 1450 hoitotyöntekijää, joiden tunnetyön kuormittavuutta (mitattuna emotionaalisella dissonanssilla), palvelumotivaatioita, koettua transformationaalista johtajuutta ja työuupumusta (mitattuna uupumusasteisena väsymyksenä) kartoitettiin kyselylomakkeen avulla. Tutkimushypoteeseina oli, että tunnetyön kuormittavuus o…
An evaluation of cool season turfgrassess in order to identify the species and varieties most suitable for the Mediterranean environment
2004
The cultivars of cool season Graminae species diffusely used to establish turfgrasses, are grown in northern areas of Europe. The aim of the research described in this paper was to identify the turfgrass species and cultivars most suitable for the Mediterranean environment. The trial was carried out in 1999 and 2000 at the experimental farm “Parco d’Orleans” belonging to the Department A.C.E.P. of University of Palermo. During the trial sixty different cultivars of cool season turf species were compared – 20 cultivars of Festuca arundinacea Schreb., 20 cultivars of Poa pratensis L., and 20 cultivars of Lulium perenne L. The main biometric and qualitative parameters examined were ground cove…
Promoting Cooperation between Educational Institutions and Workplaces : Models of Integrative Pedagogy and Connectivity Revisited
2020
This theoretical review reflects on the development and application of the Integrative Pedagogical model as well as the Connective model investigating the organisation of learning in the interface between educational institutions and workplaces. The article explores the aspects that these two models emphasise, and identifies similarities and differences between them. Key studies on these approaches were reviewed to accomplish the task. The review shows how integrative pedagogy takes the individual’s learning as its starting point and how educators can support students by encouraging them to combine theoretical knowledge, experience and self-regulation in learning. While this model is pedago…
