Teoria integrata del crimine dei potenti di Box
2021
Riflessione su: la teoria integrata del crimine dei potenti di Steven Box (1987) che presenta un modello d’integrazione concettuale «fianco a fianco», che fa riferimento alle principali teorie moderne (anomia/ tensione, legami/controllo, apprendimento sociale, neutralizzazioni, subculture, struttura di opportunità e controllo sociale). Il crimine dei potenti è spiegato come il prodotto dei tentativi che attori formali (come società, aziende, governi, multinazionali, ecc.) attuano nel raggiungimento di obiettivi specifici in contesti altrimenti incerti. Reflection on: Steven Box's (1987) integrated theory of crime of the powerful which presents a model of conceptual integration "side by side…
Building and Testing a Comparative Interface on Northwest European Historical Parliamentary Debates : Relative Term Frequency Analysis of British Rep…
2022
Tensions between the people and parliament over representation are a normal feature of representative democracies. In this paper, we demonstrate how digital humanities analysis tools help in answering questions about the timing of debates on popular representation, tensions over its realization, and representatives’ changing perceptions on their parliamentary role. Our long-term approach to the conceptual history of political representation is based on the analysis of digitized parliamentary debates as nexuses of multi-sited political discourse. We combine computer-assisted distant and context-sensitive close reading to consider diachronic trends and synchronic political struggles surroundi…
Représentation territorialisée de la performance. Les rapports de développement durable dans le secteur de la construction automobile et du transport…
2015
The territorial presentation of performance: the sustainability reports in automotive and aerial transport industries in Asia and EuropaThis research studies the sustainability reports of 18 automobile constructors and airlines companies for 2011. The study aims at identifying the objectives pursued by these firms and analyzing both similarities and differences. Introducing the concept of territory, we propose to consider sustainability reports as tools for a story-telling that would reconcile the social and the economic dimensions of the firms.
Navigation Performance Evaluation for AutomaticGuided Vehicles
2015
International audience; —Automatic guided vehicles (AGVs), an industrial form of a mobile robot,typically navigate using a central computer commanding AGV movement on predefined paths. How well they follow these paths is not well-defined in research articles and their performance is reported in non-standard manufacturer specifications. Furthermore, AGV technology is advancing towards vision guidance to map and localize their position from onboard the vehicle, whereas performance evaluation of advanced navigation techniques is just beginning. This paper describes AGV experiments using ground truth measurement comparisonfor performance evaluationof AGV navigation. A generic test procedure and…
Survey of Research for Performance Measurement of Mobile Manipulators
2016
International audience; This survey provides the basis for developing research in the area of mobile manipulator performance measurement, an area that has relatively few research articles when compared to other mobile manipulator research areas. The survey provides a literature review of mobile manipulator research with examples of experimental applications. The survey also provides an extensive list of planning and control references as this has been the major research focus for mobile manipulators which factors into performance measurement of the system. The survey then reviews performance metrics considered for mobile robots, robot arms, and mobile manipulators and the systems that measu…
Efficient techniques for fault detection and location of multiple controlled Toffoli-based reversible circuit
2021
It is very important to detect and correct faults for ensuring the validity and reliability of these circuits. In this regard, a comparative study with related existing techniques is undertaken. Two techniques to achieve the testability of reversible circuits are introduced that have been improved in terms of quantum cost and fault coverage rate. Considering this aspect, the main focus of these techniques is on the efficient detection and location of faults with 100% accuracy. These techniques for fault detection in reversible circuit design, in addition to being able to produce the correct outputs, can also provide information for fault location that has already been done at a higher cost.…
La falta de reproducibilitat de la investigació: L'estadística com a legitimació del resultat
2014
La investigació científica es legitima mitjançant la replicació dels seus resultats, però els esforços per replicar afirmacions enganyoses exhaureixen el finançament. Ens centrarem en una d’aquestes errades: els resultats de proves estadístiques que ofereixen falsos positius a causa de l’atzar. Els mètodes estadístics clàssics confien en un p-valor per a ponderar les proves enfront d’una hipòtesi nul·la, però les proves d’hipòtesis bayesianes ofereixen resultats més fàcils de comprendre, sempre que hom puga especificar distribucions a priori per a la hipòtesi alternativa. Descriurem noves proves, les UMPBT, tests bayesians que ofereixen una especificació per defecte de les alternatives a pr…
Toward modernizing the systematic review pipeline in genetics: efficient updating via data mining
2012
Purpose: The aim of this study was to demonstrate that modern data mining tools can be used as one step in reducing the labor necessary to produce and maintain systematic reviews. Methods: We used four continuously updated, manually curated resources that summarize MEDLINE-indexed articles in entire fields using systematic review methods (PDGene, AlzGene, and SzGene for genetic determinants of Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, and schizophrenia, respectively; and the Tufts Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) Registry for cost-effectiveness analyses). In each data set, we trained a classification model on citations screened up until 2009. We then evaluated the ability of the model to class…
Teātris un sports: kopīgais un atšķirīgais
2019
Bakalaura darbs “Teātris un sports: kopīgais un atšķirīgais” veltīts divu nozīmīgu mūsdienu kultūras sastāvdaļu – teātra un sporta – salīdzinājumam, kam pamatā ir amerikāņu teātra režisora un teorētiķa Ričarda Šēhnera (Richard Schechner) divdesmitā gadsimta otrajā pusē veiktie pētījumi performances laukā, kur teātris, sports, rituāli, rotaļas un spēles aplūkoti kā galvenie performances jeb priekšnesuma atzari, kurus vieno daudz kopīgu pazīmju. Par kopīgo teātrī un sportā rakstījuši arī vairāki izcili latviešu teātra režisori. Savukārt citi latviešu režisori sporta tematiku un tā elementus pielietojuši savu izrāžu skatuves darbībā un vēstījumā. Šajā pētījumā analizēti dažādi teātra un sporta…
Problem Transformation Methods with Distance-Based Learning for Multi-Target Regression
2020
Multi-target regression is a special subset of supervised machine learning problems. Problem transformation methods are used in the field to improve the performance of basic methods. The purpose of this article is to test the use of recently popularized distance-based methods, the minimal learning machine (MLM) and the extreme minimal learning machine (EMLM), in problem transformation. The main advantage of the full data variants of these methods is the lack of any meta-parameter. The experimental results for the MLM and EMLM show promising potential, emphasizing the utility of the problem transformation especially with the EMLM. peerReviewed
