La esclava del cielo, Santa Engracia, una comedia olvidada de Andrés de Claramonte
2009
La esclava del cielo, Santa Engracia, a forgotten play by Andrés de Claramonte Two are the objectives of this paper: in the first place, to elucidate the relationship that exists between the manuscript copy that has been preserved of a play entitled La esclava del cielo, Santa Engracia and the play of the same title that is mentioned in several documents of the 17th Century related to the professional companies of the autores Cristóbal Ortiz, Juan Bautista Valenciano and Juan Jerónimo Valenciano. In the second place, to critically analyze the attribution of La esclava del cielo, Santa Engracia to the playwright Andrés de Claramonte that appears in several of these documents, both by assessi…
Work-life balance during the COVID-19 outbreak: the case of Latvia
2020
This paper aims to shed light on work-life balance in Latvia during the state of emergency The COVID-19 outbreak has led many governments to introduce lockdowns While imposed restrictions may help to contain the spread of the virus, they may also result in substantial damage to population well-being The COVID-19 outbreak in Latvia demonstrates the extent and ways in which socio-demographics factors have determined different patterns of behaviour, attitudes, employment changes and harmonised work and life balance The study describes the chronological development of COVID-19 in the country It describes labour migration to and from Latvia before the COVID-19 outbreak It provides geographical f…
Las pullas de Isabel(a) entre Lope y Góngora : modelos, versos y paratextos de 'Virtud, pobreza y mujer'
2021
Este artículo se ha beneficiado de mi participación en los proyectos de investigación PGC2018-094395-BI00, financiado por el Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, PID2019-104045GB-C54 y PID2019-104045GB-C51, financiados por el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación y por fondos FEDER. El presente artículo aborda la relación entre dos comedias: Las firmezas de Isabela, de Luis de Góngora, y Virtud, pobreza y mujer, de Lope de Vega. Tras fijar la fecha de escritura de la segunda, se estipula que fue Lope quien pudo inspirarse en Góngora y no al revés (cuestión discutida), y se aclaran, amplían, matizan o desmienten las huellas de la comedia gongorina atisbadas hasta ahora por la crít…
Cooperation ‐ the form of sustainable tourism industry in Latvia / Bendradarbiavimas – darnaus Latvijos turizmo forma
2008
This paper draws attention to building networking and partnership amongst the market players of tourism industry in Latvia. The authors define cooperation as a process, which manifests in all fields of business operations, e.g. it occurs when two or more parties (enterprises) have business objectives which are mutually dependent. There are many ways and forms of cooperation that are of choice for every entrepreneur – formal and informal, vertical and horizontal, centralised and decentralised and others; it is just needed to evaluate all the benefits and contributions when to choose to compete and when to cooperate.

Ekonomiczne efekty programu "Rodzina 500 +" w świetle badań budżetów gospodarstw domowych w Polsce
2019
W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań wpływu programu "Rodzina 500+" na poziom życia gospodarstw domowych w Polsce. W tym celu przeprowadzono analizę porównawczą relacji między samooceną poziomu zaspokajania podstawowych grup potrzeb a dochodami, wydatkami konsumpcyjnymi i wybranymi charakterystykami gospodarstw domowych klasyfikowanych według kryterium typu biologicznego. Porównywano sytuację gospodarstw domowych w roku 2015 i 2017, czyli w roku bezpośrednio poprzedzającym wprowadzenie programu świadczeń wychowawczych i roku, w którym świadczenie to wypłacane było już przez pełne 12 miesięcy. Analiza wykazała, że istniała silna zależność oceny własnej sytuacji ekonomicznej gospodarstw zaró…
A Lite Romanian BERT: ALR-BERT
2022
Large-scale pre-trained language representation and its promising performance in various downstream applications have become an area of interest in the field of natural language processing (NLP). There has been huge interest in further increasing the model’s size in order to outperform the best previously obtained performances. However, at some point, increasing the model’s parameters may lead to reaching its saturation point due to the limited capacity of GPU/TPU. In addition to this, such models are mostly available in English or a shared multilingual structure. Hence, in this paper, we propose a lite BERT trained on a large corpus solely in the Romanian language, which we cal…
Single-channel speech enhancement using implicit Wiener filter for high-quality speech communication
2022
AbstractSpeech enables easy human-to-human communication as well as human-to-machine interaction. However, the quality of speech degrades due to background noise in the environment, such as drone noise embedded in speech during search and rescue operations. Similarly, helicopter noise, airplane noise, and station noise reduce the quality of speech. Speech enhancement algorithms reduce background noise, resulting in a crystal clear and noise-free conversation. For many applications, it is also necessary to process these noisy speech signals at the edge node level. Thus, we propose implicit Wiener filter-based algorithm for speech enhancement using edge computing system. In the proposed algor…
Non-intrusive speech quality assessment using context-aware neural networks
2022
AbstractTo meet the human perceived quality of experience (QoE) while communicating over various Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) applications, for example Google Meet, Microsoft Skype, Apple FaceTime, etc. a precise speech quality assessment metric is needed. The metric should be able to detect and segregate different types of noise degradations present in the surroundings before measuring and monitoring the quality of speech in real-time. Our research is motivated by the lack of clear evidence presenting speech quality metric that can firstly distinguish different types of noise degradations before providing speech quality prediction decision. To that end, this paper presents a novel n…
Development of a Simulator for Prototyping Reinforcement Learning-Based Autonomous Cars
2022
Autonomous driving is a research field that has received attention in recent years, with increasing applications of reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. It is impractical to train an autonomous vehicle thoroughly in the physical space, i.e., the so-called ’real world’; therefore, simulators are used in almost all training of autonomous driving algorithms. There are numerous autonomous driving simulators, very few of which are specifically targeted at RL. RL-based cars are challenging due to the variety of reward functions available. There is a lack of simulators addressing many central RL research tasks within autonomous driving, such as scene understanding, localization and mapping, pla…
Modelling, Identification and Control of a 5-DOF Shotcrete Robot : Development of a Framework for Automatic Application of Shotcrete for AMV 4200H
2019
Master's thesis Mechatronics MAS500 - University of Agder 2019 Today, process automation is the primary area of development in the shotcrete industry. Automaticshotcrete operations can yield an increase in operational efficiency and personnel safety as well asreductions in cost and environmental impact. This thesis develops a framework for automaticapplication of shotcrete using the AMV 4200H and provides an automatic spraying mode usinginteroceptive sensing. The shotcrete vehicle is equipped with a five degrees-of-freedom manipulatorand is currently operated manually. Our contributions include solving the forward kinematicsthrough the Denavit-Hartenberg convention, and the inverse kinemati…
