Automated Dental Identification with Lowest Cost Path-Based Teeth and Jaw Separation
2016
Abstract Teeth are some of the most resilient tissues of the human body. Because of their placement, teeth often yield intact indicators even when other metrics, such as finger prints and DNA, are missing. Forensics on dental identification is now mostly manual work which is time and resource intensive. Systems for automated human identification from dental X-ray images have the potential to greatly reduce the necessary efforts spent on dental identification, but it requires a system with high stability and accuracy so that the results can be trusted. This paper proposes a new system for automated dental X-ray identification. The scheme extracts tooth and dental work contours from the X-ray…
Motivational strategies, working alliance, and protherapeutic behaviors in batterer intervention programs: A randomized controlled trial
2020
ABSTRACT Motivational strategies are among the most promising approaches to improve the effectiveness of batterer intervention programs (BIPs). An individualized motivational plan (IMP) is one of these motivational strategies. The present study aimed to explore whether adding an IMP to a standard BIP improved the participant-facilitator working alliance and participants' protherapeutic behaviors. To this end a randomized controlled trial was conducted. One hundred fifty-three men convicted of intimate partner violence were randomly assigned to either a standard BIP (control condition, n = 79) or a standard BIP plus IMP (experimental condition, n = 74). Working alliance (i.e., general workin…
Testosterone and attention deficits as possible mechanisms underlying impaired emotion recognition in intimate partner violence perpetrators
2016
Several studies have reported impairments in decoding emotional facial expressions in intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetrators. However, the mechanisms that underlie these impaired skills are not well known. Given this gap in the literature, we aimed to establish whether IPV perpetrators (n = 18) differ in their emotion decoding process, attentional skills, and testosterone (T), cortisol (C) levels and T/C ratio in comparison with controls (n = 20), and also to examine the moderating role of the group and hormonal parameters in the relationship between attention skills and the emotion decoding process. Our results demonstrated that IPV perpetrators showed poorer emotion recognition and …
Scattering Studies with Low-Energy Kaon-Proton Femtoscopy in Proton-Proton Collisions at the LHC
2020
The study of the strength and behaviour of the antikaon-nucleon ($\mathrm{\overline{K}N}$) interaction constitutes one of the key focuses of the strangeness sector in low-energy Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). In this letter a unique high-precision measurement of the strong interaction between kaons and protons, close and above the kinematic threshold, is presented. The femtoscopic measurements of the correlation function at low pair-frame relative momentum of (K$^+$ p $\oplus$ K$^-$ $\overline{\mathrm{p}}$) and (K$^-$ p $\oplus$ K$^+$ $\overline{\mathrm{p}}$) pairs measured in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 5, 7 and 13 TeV are reported. A structure observed around a relative momentum of 58 Me…

The Perpetrator's mise-en-scene: Language, Body, and Memory in the Cambodian Genocide
2018
Rithy Panh's film S-21. The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine (2003) was the result of a three-year shooting period in the Khmer Rouge centre of torture where perpetrators and victims exchanged experiences and re-enacted scenes from the past under the gaze of the filmmaker's camera. Yet, a crucial testimony was missing in that puzzle: the voice of the prison's director, Kaing Guek Eav, comrade Duch. When the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) were finally established in Phnom Penh to judge the master criminals of Democratic Kampuchea, the first to be indicted was this desk criminal. The film Duch, Master of the Forges of Hell (R. Panh, 2011) deploys a new confrontation – an a…
Deux espions armagnacs jugés à Dijon en 1430

Premier folio du procès de Vincent Gayet, originaire de Lyon, envoyé par le bâtard d’Orléans pour espionner au profit des Armagnacs Archives départementales de la Côte-d’Or (cl. Rudi Beaulant) La série B II 360 des archives départementales de la Côte-d’Or, qui contient les enquêtes et procès criminels instruits par la mairie de Dijon de la fin du XIVe siècle à la veille de la Révolution française, et jugés par le maire et les échevins, contient nombre d’affaires classiques (vols, rixes, inju...
Crítica musical y pensamiento estético en la España de la Restauración: José María Esperanza y Sola (1834-1905)
2015
One of the most outstanding figures of music criticism in the Spanish Restoration was José María Esperanza y Sola (1834-1905), active for thirty years, from the late 1860s until the end of the century. During this period, Esperanza collaborated in different periodical publications and, particularly, “La Ilustración Española y Americana”, from whose pages he informed about the most important musical events celebrated in Madrid, judged according to a conservative aesthetic criterion, opposed to any novelty that infringe the traditional music system. On the basis of Esperanza´s thought, our study analyzes the different subjects that constitute his journalistic production.La crítica musical en …
Palabras clave y léxico frecuente como indicadores de la mentira
2015
Aunque la creencia popular sostiene que el lenguaje no verbal es el mejor indicador a la hora de detectar la mentira, diferentes investigaciones han puesto de manifiesto que la combinacion de lenguaje verbal y no verbal ofrece mayores porcentajes de acierto en la deteccion del engano que el uso de uno solo de estos parametros. De hecho, existe evidencia cientifica de que el lenguaje verbal puede ser el mejor predictor del comportamiento no veraz. Para nuestra investigacion, hemos elegido 38 informantes de entre 17 y 19 anos, a los que se ha sometido a dos pruebas. En la primera de ellas, los informantes deben expresar la verdad o mentir ante una serie de preguntas previamente establecidas y…
¿Mozart era un mutante?: propuestas didácticas sobre la música preexistente en el cine de superhéroes.
2019
Con el inicio del siglo XXI se produjo el comienzo de una edad dorada para el cine de superhéroes; especialmente, en las películas basadas en cómics de la editorial Marvel. Su éxito se debe, sobre todo, a la adaptación al cine del concepto de 'universo compartido', lo que permite mostrar personajes y situaciones interrelacionadas. Ello ofrece la opción de conectar con diversas promociones de alumnos, puesto que se trata de personajes presentes en los cines durante las últimas dos décadas. Como muestra de ello, en esta propuesta se incluirán fragmentos de dos películas distantes en el tiempo: 'X-Men 2' (2003) y 'Thor: Ragnarok' (2017). La popularidad creciente de estos filmes se ve intensifi…
