Daudzplakņu ekrāna meklēšanas uzdevums binokulāros un monokulāros apstākļos
2022
Bakalaura darbs uzrakstīts latviešu valodā uz 30 lappusēm. Tas satur 17 attēlus un 54 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis bija izpētīt vizuālās meklēšanas uzdevuma izpildes atšķirības monokulāros un binokulāros apstākļos, cilvēkiem aplūkojot daudzplakņu ekrāna attēlus. 15 pētījuma dalībnieki veica vizuālās meklēšanas uzdevumus. Tika mainīti trīs parametri: mērķa-distraktora līdzība, elementu skaits un skatīšanās apstākļi. Meklēšanas uzdevumā dalībniekiem bija jāatrod mērķa elements un jānosaka tā relatīvā atrašanās vieta ekrānā. Rezultātā tika secināts, ka, palielinoties mērķa-distraktora līdzībai un elementu skaitam, meklēšanas sniegums samazinās gan monokulāros, gan binokulāros …
A study on recovering the cloud top-height from infra-red video sequences
2004
In this paper we present some preliminary results on an opticalfow based technique aimed at recovering the cloud-top height from infra-red image sequences. The recovery of the cloud-top height from satellite infra-red images is an important topic in meteorological studies, and is traditionally based on the analysis of the temperature maps. In this work we explore the feasibility for this problem of a technique based on a robust multi-resolution opticalfow algorithm. The robustness is achieved adopting a Least Median of Squares paradigm. The algorithm has been tested on semi-synthetic data (i.e. real data that have been synthetically warped in order to have a reliable ground truth for the mo…
A Hierarchical Model for Analysing Consumption Patterns in Italy Before and During the Great Recession
2016
The paper aims to explore how the Great Recession of the twenty-first century has impacted on the consumption behaviour of Italian households. Following a hierarchical approach, the study investigates differences in consumption behaviour at both household and regional levels. Using micro data on Italian Household Expenditure for the years 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2012, multilevel and two-step regression models have been estimated. The analysis has been performed for four different consumption categories: food, housing, work-related and leisure. The analysis reveals that the economic crisis led to increasing income elasticity for each category of consumption, especially for food, the most essent…

Value congruence in health care priority setting: social values, institutions and decisions in three countries
2014
AbstractMost developed democracies have faced the challenge of priority setting in health care by setting up specialized agencies to take decisions on which medical services to include in public health baskets. Under the influence of Daniels and Sabin’s seminal work on the topic, agencies increasingly aim to fulfil criteria of procedural justice, such as accountability and transparency. We assume, however, that the institutional design of agencies also and necessarily reflects substantial value judgments on the respective weight of distributive principles such as efficiency, need and equality. The public acceptance of prioritization decisions, and eventually of the health care system at lar…
Indirect Discrimination and School Segregation of Roma Children in the Czech Republic
2018
In DH v. Czech Republic (2007), the Czech government argued that Roma parents consented to the assignment of their children to ‘special’ schools. According to the government, parental consent undermined the claim that the disproportionate assignment of Roma children to inferior schools amounted to discrimination. The court rejected the argument, finding as a matter of law that parents could not choose to subject their children to discriminatory education, and as a matter of fact that the parents’ consent was not informed. Since the judgment, the Czech government continues to disproportionately assign Roma children to inferior schools, but it has revised the procedure they use to obtain pare…
L'équité : un fil rouge des politiques éducatives nationales
2014
This paper aims to cover some at least of the most significant dimensions that can help document, based on a sampling of countries, the issues surrounding equity and children's right to attend school, to stay in school long enough and to receive appropriate education services to ensure access to adult life with the basic knowledge and skills that will give them a chance at a decent economic and social life. Above and beyond its quantitative observations, this analysis identifies connections with various active or passive education policies found in national education systems. Additionally,to the extent that they provide a better understanding of the situation and point out stumbling blocks …

Mobilités géographiques étudiantes et qualifications des territoires : quelques disparités régionales
2003
Depuis les lois de décentralisation, depuis le dernier plan de redéploiement « Université 2 000 », le niveau régional a acquis une nouvelle légitimité non seulement en tant que niveau d'observation des structurations de l'offre de formation supérieure et des marchés de l'emploi mais aussi et surtout comme territoire de revendications et d'actions.Or, les situations régionales liées aux popul; Depuis les lois de décentralisation, depuis le dernier plan de redéploiement « Université 2 000 », le niveau régional a acquis une nouvelle légitimité non seulement en tant que niveau d'observation des structurations de l'offre de formation supérieure et des marchés de l'emploi mais aussi et surtout co…
LE REGIONI D'EUROPA TRA IDENTITÀ LOCALI, NUOVE COMUNITÀ E DISPARITÀ TERRITORIALI
2019
L’Europa è oggi attraversata da una forte domanda di autonomia da parte dei territori: da un lato, a tutela dell’identità delle comunità locali e, dall’altro, per la crescente rivendicazione di una più ampia rappresentanza delle cittadinanze. Queste istanze possono, però, mettere a rischio gli obiettivi di equilibrio e di coesione economica, sociale e territoriale, da sempre al centro della riflessione e delle proposte sviluppate dagli studiosi delle scienze regionali. La recente crisi ha acuito l’instabilità e allargato i complessivi divari tra le regioni, anche nella loro dinamica interna di evoluzione. Alla resilienza economica non sempre è corrisposto, nell’attuale transizione verso un …
