The meaning of biological signals.
2020
We introduce the virtual special issue on content in signalling systems. The issue explores the uses and limits of ideas from evolutionary game theory and information theory for explaining the content of biological signals. We explain the basic idea of the Lewis-Skyrms sender-receiver framework, and we highlight three key themes of the issue: (i) the challenge of accounting for deception, misinformation and false content, (ii) the relevance of partial or total common interest to the evolution of meaningful signals, and (iii) how the sender-receiver framework relates to teleosemantics.
Towards Neural Reusable Neuro-inspired Systems
2018
This chapter presents an overview of some key aspects of the neuro-inspired modelling previously discussed, under the new perspective of the neural reuse theory. Here it is envisaged that the excellent capabilities shown by insects with their small neuron number and relatively low brain complexity, as compared to vertebrates, could be justified if some key neural structures are re-used for different behavioural needs. The chapter recalls some examples, found in the literature for addressing specific topics and reformulates them in relation to the neural reuse theory.
Differential Learning as a Key Training Approach to Improve Creative and Tactical Behavior in Soccer
2018
The aim of this study was to identify the effects of a differential-learning program, embedded in small-sided games, on the creative and tactical behavior of youth soccer players. Forty players from under-13 (U13) and under-15 (U15) were allocated into control and experimental groups and were tested using a randomized pretest to posttest design using small-sided games situations.The experimental group participated in a 5-month differential-learning program embodied in small-sided games situations, while the control group participated in a typical small-sided games training program. In-game creativity was assessed through notational analyses of the creative components, and the players' posit…
L'éducation aux valeurs à l'épreuve du socle commun
2010
Having examined values in education since earliest times on the one hand and the formal structuring of curricula throughout the XIXth century on the other hand, we will show how Jules Ferry's programmes are at the junction of two different approaches to moral education. Therefore, we will consider the main changes which structured the way it was taught throughout the XXth century. In France, the setting up of a base for common knowledge and common skills sheds a new light on social and civic skills, autonomy and initiative. These 6th and 7th pillars will compare favourably with other educational programmes, moral and religious, particularly in French-speaking Belgium as well as in Quebec. C…
Operators on PIP-Spaces and Indexed PIP-Spaces
2009
As already mentioned, the basic idea of pip-spaces is that vectors should not be considered individually, but only in terms of the subspaces V r (r Є F), the building blocks of the structure. Correspondingly, an operator on a pipspace should be defined in terms of assaying subspaces only, with the proviso that only continuous or bounded operators are allowed. Thus an operator is a coherent collection of continuous operators. We recall that in a nondegenerate pip-space, every assaying subspace V r carries its Mackey topology \(\tau (V_r , V \bar{r})\) and thus its dual is \(V \bar{r}\). This applies in particular to \(V^{\#}\) and V itself. For simplicity, a continuous linear map between two…

Internacionalización de empresas a través de clústeres: análisis bibliométrico de palabras clave de 152 publicaciones destacadas en el período 2009-2…

[EN] While countless studies on the role of clusters in regional economic developments and business performance have been done, some disadvantages and limitations also have been identified. Limitations such as small local markets, limited resources, isolation, and over-independence which lead companies to a lock-in state regarding knowledge and innovation can be solved by means of internationalization or foreign market expansion. Therefore, the internationalization of clusters still needs more attention. Furthermore, by conducting a bibliometric study based on the keywords from previous research, this investigation intends to identify the principal and most influential items, their relation…
Implementación y uso clínico de la radioterapia adaptativa. Informe del grupo de trabajo de radioterapia adaptativa de la Sociedad Española de Física…
2021
La radioterapia adaptativa (Adaptive Radiation Therapy, ART) se puede definir como la modificación del plan de tratamiento administrado a un paciente durante el curso de la radioterapia para tener en cuenta los cambios en la anatomía.
 La aplicación de ART supone un cambio en el proceso radioterápico que implica el uso de numerosos recursos adicionales, no estando implementada de forma general. Así, aun tratándose de una idea introducida hace más de 20 años, todavía a fecha de hoy son objeto de estudio muchos de los aspectos que definen la ART: la decisión de proceder a la nueva planificación del tratamiento, el momento óptimo para adaptar el plan, el umbral dosimétrico o anatómico que…
Searching for a Common Language
2010
Perhaps you remember Steven Spielberg’s movie released in 1977, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The memorable end of this movie shows how humans might communicate with extraterrestrials through the interchange of music, with the famous melody “D E C C G” that we all hummed.
Local versus global processing of harmonic cadences in the solution of musical puzzles
1998
The structure of Western musical pieces is delineated by several kinds of cadence. Half cadences in the main key indicate temporary endings; authentic cadences in the main key indicate definitive endings. Authentic cadences in the dominant key are of cognitive interest, since they mark a definitive ending at a local level but a temporary ending at a global level. This study investigated the local versus global processing of these cadences. Participants were presented with sections of 16-bar minuets displayed on a computer screen in the form of a musical jigsaw puzzle. The sections consisted of either the first or the second half of the minuet (8 bars each). The first section ended with eith…
