Application of neural networks in diagnostics of chemical compounds based on their infrared spectra
2017
Abstract The paper presents possibilities of using the so-called „finger-print“ identification method and artificial neural network (ANN) for diagnosis of chemical compounds. The construction of a tool specifically developed for this purpose and the ANN, as well as the required conditions for its proper functioning were described. The identification of chemical compounds was tested in two different ways for proving correctness of the assumptions. First of all, initial studies were carried out with the objective to verify the proper functioning of the developed procedure for IR spectrum interpretation. The second research stage was to find out how the properties of artificial neural networks…
"Viktig informasjon om rettigheter og plikter!” : en diskursanalyse av NAVs informasjonsbrosjyre om arbeidsavklaringspenger
2013
Masteroppgave i psykisk helsearbeid ME504 Universitetet i Agder 2013 The study is based on a qualitative study of the information brochure of WorkWelfare Allowance (AAP) authored by The Norwegian Labour and WelfareAdministration (Nav). The aim of the study is to uncover various discourses hidden inthe text. The investigation is based on the clients introduction to his own economicalbenefit in the information brochure of AAP. The research question in the study iswhich discourses are made visible in the text.The study is based on critical discourse analysis. The method identifies and highlightsmeaningful expressions appearing in the prospectus, both linguistic structures andconsequential as i…

Modeling and Backstepping Control of the Electronic Throttle System
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/871674 Open access Electronic throttle is widely used in modern automotive engines. An electronic throttle system regulates the throttle plate angle by using a DC servo motor to adjust the inlet airflow rate of an internal combustion engine. Its application leads to improvements in vehicle drivability, fuel economy, and emissions. In this paper, by taking into account the dynamical behavior of the electronic throttle, the mechanism model is first built, and then the mechanism model is transformed into the state-space model. Based on the s…

Auditory cortical and hippocampal-system mismatch responses to duration deviants in urethane-anesthetized rats
2013
Any change in the invariant aspects of the auditory environment is of potential importance. The human brain preattentively or automatically detects such changes. The mismatch negativity (MMN) of event-related potentials (ERPs) reflects this initial stage of auditory change detection. The origin of MMN is held to be cortical. The hippocampus is associated with a later generated P3a of ERPs reflecting involuntarily attention switches towards auditory changes that are high in magnitude. The evidence for this cortico-hippocampal dichotomy is scarce, however. To shed further light on this issue, auditory cortical and hippocampal-system (CA1, dentate gyrus, subiculum) local-field potentials were …
La construction de la memoire coloniale en Erythrée: les Eithréens, les Métis, les Italiens
2006
Focusing on some passages of life histories collected in Asmara and based on the ‘memory of Italy’, I study the representation of the past in order to reveal the shaping of the subjective experience by the colonial discourse in Eritrea. If the main aim of my essay is the understanding of the play of interactions between individuals and collectivity, one more important element I take into account is ‘memory’ seen as a “social selection of remembering” (Halbwachs). I try to connect the social position and narrative role of single members (of the Eritrean society) to the meaning it takes the ‘going back to the past’ for them as individuals belonging to a group (an Eritrean, a Mestizo, an Itali…
Mental Skills of an Athlete as a Resource of Professional Longevity in Sport
2021
The aim of the study was to assess associations between dimensions of mental skills, psychological readiness and predictors of career longevity among current athletes. Mental skills dimensions were measured with the Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment Tool (OMSAT). The psychological predictors of athletic career longevity were measured with the Athletic Coping Skills Scale-28 (the ACSI-28) producing scores for seven coping skills and with the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) which produced scores for confidence in competition. Overall, 253 current athletes (average age 22 years) of various competitive levels (classified to 5 groups according to the national sport classification sy…
The Past ‘Interpreter’. Historical Stratifications in the Ritual Symbolism of Saint Joseph Festivals and Holy Week in Sicily
2020
I temi della continuità culturale e della "sopravvivenza" del simbolismo rituale sono stati al centro dibattito in campo religioso antropologico e storico. Sono diventati di nuovo di attualità in relazione alla la patrimonializzazione di feste religiose "tradizionali" come San Giuseppe e la Settimana Santa, festival il cui simbolismo rituale (banchetto sacro, processione, rami sempreverdi, pane rituale, canti e danze) mostra un'evidente radice pre-cristiana e agraria. Una serie di domande emergono sia sul l'utilità delle fonti storiche (archeologiche e documentarie) per quanto riguarda la comprensione delle realtà rituale temporanea, e sulla questione della continuità cronologica delle prat…
Ecology Approach in Education and Health Care
2017
Abstract In the 21st century, numerous complex challenges in education and health care have come to the fore, among them: 1) how to implement the ecological approach in the education process and health care practice; 2) how to implement study programmes in line with the education trends for sustainable development and the process of formation and development of the ecological competence. The results of this research refer only to the content analysis of the essays written by the first and second year students of the programs in Nursing and Medicine on completing the study course The Ecological Approach in Patient Care. To increase the credibility and validity of the obtained results of the …
