Safety and efficacy of intensity-modulated radiotherapy in the management of spermatic cord sarcoma.
2017
International audience; Purpose. - Spermatic cord sarcoma is a rare disease, which management remains controversial due to the lack of guidelines. The standard therapeutic approach is surgical: wide soft-tissue resection with radical inguinal orchidectomy, The diagnosis is made during the analysis of the specimen. The high rate of local recurrence indicates adjuvant radiotherapy of the tumor bed. The aim of this series is to determine the efficacy and safety of postoperative intensity-modulated radiotherapy for spermatic cord sarcomas. Patients and methods. - Our series included five consecutive cases of spermatic cord sarcoma treated between 2011 and 2014. The indications for radiotherapy …
Melu sintakses kods politiskajā diskursā
2019
Zinātnieki izveidoja veselu lingvistikas melu kustību: Weber (1920), Carson (2010), J. Meibauer (2014) un citi. Šī zinātnes papīra mērķis ir analizēt dažādu izrakstus no politiķu runu ierakstiem sintaktiskās organizācijas līmenī un atrast pašu populārāko teikumu konstrukciju veidu melu situācijās un politiskajās debatēs. Pētījumā tika izmantotas sekojošas metodes - miksēto metodu veids, kvalitatīva DA, SDA un sintaktiskā analīze. Corpus metode tika izvēlēta kā datu vākšanas metode. Declarative teikumu tips bija apskatīts, teikumu garumi, pasīvo konstrukciju izmantošana, vienādie elementi, personīgo vietniekvārdu, stilistisku figūru izmantošana tika izskatīti. Rezultāti parāda,ka lai apmānīt…
Young athletes’ significant experiences in sport : critical sociological reflections on athlete development
2017
AbstractThe aim of this article is to provide a sociological perspective on athlete development by using the theoretical framework of socialization and life course. Significant experiences are used as an interpretational tool to study young athletes’ perceptions of their socialization process. The research data, which were collected at a sports upper secondary school, consist of life historical interviews with 26 young athletes aged 14–17 years. Through content analysis, their significant experiences in sports were divided into four categories and then analyzed further in relation to the Habermasian dualistic reality of the lifeworld and the system. The results were the following. First, no…
Gilliéron, Jules (1854–1926)
2006
Jules Gillieron, born in Switzerland, became a professor of dialectology in Paris and thus the founder of the scientific dialectology in France. A dialect grammar and a phonetic atlas of the Roman Valais, both published in 1880, were expanded to the huge Linguistic atlas of France (ALF), published with E Edmont 1902–1910. Permanent explanatory notes and valuable monographs as interpretations of the maps supplemented the atlas. ‘Dialect’ was considered as a linguistic system with signs having an expression plane and a content plane—a structural approach.
Five Ways in Which Computational Modeling Can Help Advance Cognitive Science
2019
Abstract There is a rich tradition of building computational models in cognitive science, but modeling, theoretical, and experimental research are not as tightly integrated as they could be. In this paper, we show that computational techniques—even simple ones that are straightforward to use—can greatly facilitate designing, implementing, and analyzing experiments, and generally help lift research to a new level. We focus on the domain of artificial grammar learning, and we give five concrete examples in this domain for (a) formalizing and clarifying theories, (b) generating stimuli, (c) visualization, (d) model selection, and (e) exploring the hypothesis space.
CLIL classroom discourse
2013
Under the label of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) the teaching of curriculum subjects through the medium of a foreign language has become a widely accepted feature in mainstream education systems in Europe and other parts of the world. After contextualizing its subject matter in CLIL research as a whole, this article focuses on research into classroom discourse. In order to unravel the complexities involved, three different takes on CLIL classroom discourse are discussed as an evidence-base for (a) language learning, (b) language use and social-interactional aspects of L2-interaction, and (c) processes of knowledge construction in and through a second or foreign language. T…
Towards a multidisciplinary approach in creative subtitling
2012
Standard subtitling practices have long been influenced, if not governed, by norms and conventions such as the Code of Good Subtitling Practice (Ivarsson & Carroll 1998). Yet recent research into film subtitling has begun to take a creative turn: a trend that is matched by increasing numbers of fansubs and professionally produced creative subtitles. This paper seeks to demonstrate the need for a multidisciplinary approach to creative subtitling and, by drawing upon principles from film studies, suggests some key features for the development of a creative subtitling practice.
Awareness of second language inflectional morphology: A case study on Finnish as a second language
2007
The Finnish language has a very extensive inflectional morphology, whereas Vietnamese, as an isolating language, has no inflection at all. Therefore, the major challenge encountered by Vietnamese immigrants learning Finnish is to develop awareness of the existence, function and use of inflection. This paper examines how this process manifests itself in native-non-native speaker (NS-NNS) conversations during the initial stages of second language acquisition. All the negotiation sequences including overt signals of problems in understanding were subjected to a closer analysis, and the linguistic modifications performed to solve the problems were analysed on the level of both interaction and g…
The birth of language ecology: interdisciplinary influences in Einar Haugen's “The ecology of language”
2015
Abstract Einar Haugen is generally regarded as the founding father of ‘language ecology’ or ‘ecology of language’. In his classic 1971 paper, he suggested that “[l]anguage ecology may be defined as the study of interactions between any given language and its environment”. After tracing the roots of language ecology in the social sciences and biology and the use of similar locutions by other linguists before him, the present paper discusses major conceptual and theoretical issues surrounding his proposal. Fundamental discrepancies between how the concept of ecology is understood in biology and sociology, on the one hand, and the attempted application to language, on the other, render details…
Multidisciplinarity in audiovisual translation
2012
The two pillars around which the breaking up of monodisciplinarity is reorganized, in Ostreng's words, can be said to apply to, and portray, the evolution of Translation Studies (TS) and Audiovisual Translation Studies (AVTS). The hybridization and fragmentation of the "parent discipline" (TS), as a consequence of its very expansion and contamination, has in turn resulted in the emergence of sub-disciplines. AVTS, as a derivative research field, has soon achieved the "status" of a full-fledged discipline, attracting numerous researchers and leading to the organization of countless conferences, seminars, university courses and publications. Subsequently, the coming of age of AVTS in the last…
