Some remarks on Landau's (macroscopic) phase transition theory
2012
This paper explain the existence of a particular formal model (drew from Theoretical Astrophysics) whose thermodynamical phenomenology shows a possible second order phase transition (according to Landau’s Thermodynamical Theory) that seems does not verify the (Birman-Goldrich-Jaric) ”chain subduction criterion” and the (Ascher’s) ”maximality criterion” of Landau’s Phenomenological Theory. Therefore, it follows that Landau’s Phenomenological Theory is more restrictive than the Landau’s Thermodynamical Theory.
Negotiating an identity : the mediated discursive self-representation of the Polish immigrant community in the UK
2017
The chapter investigates the mediated entextualizations of the identities of Polish immigrants to the UK in the period of post-crisis politics and economic reforms. The media discourse studied is collected from MojaWyspa.co.uk (MyIsland), one of the largest Polish-language online hubs designed for the substantial Polish community living on the British Isles. The study shows which discursive strategies of othering are employed to delimit the Polish immigrants’ collective identity, which self/other-presentation techniques are used, and how this group identity is legitimized argumentatively. It examines the linguistic realizations of self/other reference, active/passive and positive/negative p…
Análisis de los antecedentes histórico-filosóficos de la "paradoja cognitiva de Duval"
2015
In a famous article published in 1993, Raymond Duval highlighted a simple fact: the student may confuse the mathematical object O he is trying to build cognitively with one of its semiotic representations R(O). Duval explained that this confusion was due to a sort of inevitable paradox: only someone who has already built O, can recognize R(O) as a representation of O and not as an object in itself. Thereafter, this thought has been extremely influential for researchers. However, even if in different terms, many scholars of semiotics have emphasized the same phenomenon. In this paper we propose to remind some of them. En un famoso artículo publicado en 1993, Raymond Duval evidenciaba el sigu…
Mišela Gondrī filmas “Dienu putas” (“L'écume des jours”) semiotiskā analīze un realitātes reprezentācija
2017
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Mišela Gondrī filmas “Dienu putas” (l'ecume des jours) semiotiskā analīze un realitātes reprezentācija”. Bakalaura darba ietvaros autores veiktā filmas analīze sniegs izpratni par to, kāpēc tās veidošanā ir izmantoti noteikti elementi, kuri sākotnēji var tikt interpretēti, kā nekas vairāk par pārspīlētu oriģinalitāti, kas bieži vien skatītājos raisa tieši pretēju, negatīvu attieksmi pret režisoru, kurš šķietami vēlas piesaistīt skatītāju uzmanību ar pārmērīgo, savā starpā nesavienojamo un kontrastējošo vizuālo elementu daudzumu. Analizējot filmu caur semiotiskās analīzes prizmu, autore atbild uz jautājumu, vai ikviens no Mišela Gondrī šajā filmā izmantotajiem vizuāl…
The effect of singing the melody in the practice of the piano
2009
The aim of this study was to test a hypothesis that if learners created more precise auditory representation from singing a melody, they could learn piano playing to reach at a higher level of performance. Seven novice piano players of varied ages learned to play novel musical pieces with and without singing their melodies. The time period of practice sessions for learning each melody with and without singing conditions was equalized. After all practice sessions, their performances were recorded to MD. The players themselves and 13 qualified piano teachers as a third party evaluated recorded music based on preciseness of performance with the given score, naturalness of the melody, and appro…
New forms of urban and social sustainability: ICTs in the design of smart cities
2014
A new design of the city, that one of the smart city, is evolving implying the frequent involvement of the technological and social field, in order to make urban spaces more sustainable. The development of new information and communication technologies (ICTs), follows the growth and evolution of the city through the monitoring of the multiplicity of sectors that build urban form: economy, education, policy, environment and society. The objective of the research is to identify urban practices that have led to better results in the fields of mobility, environment and social cooperation, highlighting the different methodologies of ICTs’ application.
Antennal lobe representations are optimized when olfactory stimuli are periodically structured to simulate natural wing beat effects
2014
Animals use behaviors to actively sample the environment across a broad spectrum of sensory domains. These behaviors discretize the sensory experience into unique spatiotemporal moments, minimize sensory adaptation, and enhance perception. In olfaction, behaviors such as sniffing, antennal flicking, and wing beating all act to periodically expose olfactory epithelium. In mammals, it is thought that sniffing enhances neural representations; however, the effects of insect wing beating on representations remain unknown. To determine how well the antennal lobe produces odor-dependent representations when wing beating effects are simulated, we used extracellular methods to record neural units an…
A idealização dose espaços rurais no ensino médio. Um estudo de representações sociais
2021
Resumen La teoría de las representaciones sociales contribuye a conocer los discursos que influyen en la vida de las personas y cómo los sujetos reproducen esos conocimientos para interpretar el mundo. El conocimiento que nos interesa en esta investigación es la cosmovisión que los estudiantes de 3.° de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) y de 2.° de bachillerato de la provincia de Valencia (España) tienen acerca de los espacios rurales. Dicha cosmovisión proviene de diferentes fuentes y contextos de información, por lo que la aplicación de las representaciones sociales al campo de la didáctica de la geografía es pertinente en este estudio. En concreto, el enfoque fenomenológico de la Ge…
L'apport de la communication engageante et des représentations sociales dans le cadre de la promotion de l'éco-mobilité
2011
The purpose of this thesis was to test the applicability of binding communication in the case of car use reduction. The first two studies (1 & 2) bring out the relationship between an individual and his mobility. Our results lead us to consider a system of double bind between the challenges of sustainable development and daily obligations. The individual recognizes the negative impact of car use on the environment but justifies his behavior by an important need for flexibility. Three studies have tested the effectiveness of procedures such as commitment (Study 3) and binding communication (studies 4 and 5). A procedure of binding communication has been particularly effective. It combined a …
La représentation du rugby masculin et féminin : une analyse de discours chez les spectateurs
2014
Le but de l'étude présentée est d'analyser les représentations d'unsport typé masculin, le rugby, dans le discours de spectateurs à l'issuede matchs. Le champ théorique renvoie à l'école européenne desreprésentations sociales (Moscovici, 1961) et ses développements entermes de structure stabilisée (Abric, 1994). Il renvoie également auxprésupposés de l'analyse de discours selon Ghiglione (1985). Le corpusest constitué de 120 discours écrits dans les salles réservées auxsupporters ou dans les bars restaurants où ils se retrouvent après lesrencontres, la consigne étant soit de caractériser le rugby masculin soitde caractériser le rugby féminin. La méthode utilisé…
