ON-LINE CONSTRUCTION OF A SMALL AUTOMATON FOR A FINITE SET OF WORDS
2012
In this paper we describe a "light" algorithm for the on-line construction of a small automaton recognising a finite set of words. The algorithm runs in linear time. We carried out good experimental results on real dictionaries, on biological sequences and on the sets of suffixes (resp. factors) of a set of words that shows how our automaton is near to the minimal one. For the suffixes of a text, we propose a modified construction that leads to an even smaller automaton. We moreover construct linear algorithms for the insertion and deletion of a word in a finite set, directly from the constructed automaton.
Linguistic landscapes of a minoritized regional majority: Language ideologies among Hungarians in South-West Slovakia
2016
[Introduction] This article is an investigation of the linguistic situation in South-West Slovakia and its interpretation by local inhabitants through the notion of linguistic landscape (LL hereafter), here understood broadly as texts displayed in visual space.1 This study has two broad aims. Firstly, the general distribution of the languages in the LL of two historically Hungarian villages is established. This distributional picture is compared to (inter)national and local conceptions about the visual use of different languages in South-West Slovakia. Secondly, using an ethnographic approach and making use of the data gathered during one month fieldwork, a set of individual signs and sign …
Benefits of Integrating an Explicit Self-Efficacy Intervention With Calculation Strategy Training for Low-Performing Elementary Students
2021
This study examined the malleability of math self-efficacy (SE) among children with poor calculation fluency via an intervention that targeted four sources of SE (mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, social persuasions, and emotional and physiological states). The effect of pure strategy training was contrasted with an intervention that integrated strategy training and explicit SE support. Moreover, the changes in SE source experiences and their relation with math SE, as well as the relation between math-SE profiles and calculation fluency development, were examined. In a quasi-experimental design, 60 Finnish children with calculation fluency problems in Grades 2 to 4 participated in…
Redescription of Chiropturopoda nidiphila Wiśniewski & Hirschmann (Acari: Uropodina) from a woodpecker’s tree holes, including all development stages…
2021
All development stages of Chiropturopoda nidiphila Wiśniewski & Hirschmann, 1983 are described, which has previously been known only from the deutonymph stage. The species is closely associated with tree holes excavated by woodpeckers. Chiropturopoda nidiphila was redescribed and the genus diagnosis was completed. The description of the species morphology is based largely on scanning (SEM) electronograms. Diagnoses differentiating all of the known species of the genus Chiropturopoda are provided, including their developmental stages.
Coppie miste in Italia e in Spagna. Uno studio sui fattori che favoriscono il senso di comunità dei partner stranieri
2013
Lo scopo del presente contributo è stato quello di analizzare come l’identificazione etnica (ingroup ed outgroup) e la discriminazione percepita (come straniero o come partner di coppia mista) siano legati al senso di comunità (SdC) dei partner stranieri delle famiglie interculturali residenti in Spagna e in Italia. I risultati mostrano che in entrambi i gruppi l’identificazione con il proprio gruppo etnico-culturale non è associata al SdC. Inoltre, l’aumento della discriminazione percepita come coppia mista porta ad una diminuzione del senso di comunità e della soddisfazione di vita. The aim of this paper was to analyze how ethnic identification (ingroup and outgroup) and perceived discrim…
Reopening the Conversation Between Music Psychology and Music Therapy : A Survey of Interdisciplinary Attitudes
2021
Although the fields of music psychology and music therapy share many common interests, research collaboration between the two fields is still somewhat rare. Previous work has identified that disciplinary identities and attitudes towards those in other disciplines are challenges to effective interdisciplinary research. The current study explores such attitudes in music therapy and music psychology. A sample of 123 music therapists and music psychologists answered an online survey regarding their attitudes towards potential interdisciplinary work between the two fields. Analysis of results suggested that participants’ judgements of the attitudes of members of the other discipline were not alw…
Zasada pozytywnej dyskryminacji mniejszości narodowych w ujęciu teoretycznym i praktyce ustrojowej
2018
CEL NAUKOWY: Celem artykułu jest zbadanie teoretycznych aspektów zasady pozytywnej dyskryminacji, ustrojowych uwarunkowań jej zastosowania w odniesieniu do mniejszości narodowych w Polsce oraz dziedzin, w których może być realizowana. PROBLEM I METODY BADAWCZE: Zagadnienie pozytywnej dyskryminacji znajduje się w obrębie zainteresowania przedstawicieli wielu nauk i idealnie wpasowuje się w koncepcję demokracji ujmowanej jako wartości, procedury i w sensie substancjalnym. Nie jest ona przy tym ochroną antydyskryminacyjną, lecz jej wsparciem, promotorem równości formalnej i faktycznej. W Polsce, choć odsetek mniejszości narodowych jest nikły, pozytywna dyskryminacja ma rangę zasady w Konstytuc…
Le donne non mobbizzano: l'alibi del "gentil sesso"
2012
Un dato diffuso vuole che il maggior numero di persone mobbizzate sia donna. Le statistiche ufficiali sono spesso poco chiare al riguardo; infatti, a seconda della fonte e dei metodi di rilevazione gli indici variano sensibilmente. Le ricerche che riportano la donna come più mobbizzata degli uomini assumono una comprensibile quanto discutibile indignazione che deriverebbe dal concepire l’azione di mobbing sulla donna come una riedizione della discriminazione di genere nel mondo del lavoro, naturalmente a scapito del genere femminile. Nel contributo si esamina come qualsiasi pregiudizio in tal senso non aiuti ad attuare la parità dei generi soprattutto se la rappresentazione sociale di una d…
Tapology: A Game-Based Platform to Facilitate E-Health and E-Inclusion

Published version of a chapter in the book: Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction. Aging and Assistive Environments. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-07446-7_36 We have developed a tablet computer game app for low vision users that can be used to introduce a platform for gaming, internet and visual rehabilitation to older users who have not had prior experience with information communication technology (ICT). Our target user group is people diagnosed with Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). The primary goal of the app is to present a fun and engaging means for participants to engage with Information Communication Technology (ICT). A long…
Modélisation des choix d'itinéraires pédestres en milieu urbain. Approche géographique et paysagère
2006
Nowadays, on foot journeys create renewed interest as a complementary mode of transport. Indeed, local decision makers appear as willing to reduce the imbalance between different ways of transport within the cities. In the field of Geography the term ‘mobility' refers to the practice of exchanges and movements done by individuals or groups of individuals; this mobility is likely to reveal the characteristics of places and to contribute to their alteration. Among all the modes of transport, walking implies a privileged relation between persons and area they live in. As an element of the living environment used on a daily basis and eventually integrated by the prism of perception the visible …
