Using Topic Modeling Methods for Short-Text Data: A Comparative Analysis
2020
With the growth of online social network platforms and applications, large amounts of textual user-generated content are created daily in the form of comments, reviews, and short-text messages. As a result, users often find it challenging to discover useful information or more on the topic being discussed from such content. Machine learning and natural language processing algorithms are used to analyze the massive amount of textual social media data available online, including topic modeling techniques that have gained popularity in recent years. This paper investigates the topic modeling subject and its common application areas, methods, and tools. Also, we examine and compare five frequen…
Is tourism firm competitiveness driven by different internal or external specific factors?: New empirical evidence from Spain
2015
Abstract The quest to understand the multilevel antecedents of competitiveness has led to a separation of approaches. On one side of the question are the environment theories that analyze the structural characteristics of the general and competitive environment. On the other side are the Resource Based View and its extensions that highlight firm-specific resources and capabilities as the main basis of firms' competitiveness. However, in recent years the nature of competition and shifting economic conditions have given rise to new theoretical approaches that complement the assumptions underlying both environmental and firm theories. Specifically, this study contributes by examining the regio…
Dietary Glycaemic Index Labelling: A Global Perspective
2021
The glycaemic index (GI) is a food metric that ranks the acute impact of available (digestible) carbohydrates on blood glucose. At present, few countries regulate the inclusion of GI on food labels even though the information may assist consumers to manage blood glucose levels. Australia and New Zealand regulate GI claims as nutrition content claims and also recognize the GI Foundation’s certified Low GI trademark as an endorsement. The GI Foundation of South Africa endorses foods with low, medium and high GI symbols. In Asia, Singapore’s Healthier Choice Symbol has specific provisions for low GI claims. Low GI claims are also permitted on food labels in India. In China, there are no nation…
Real-time transmission over Switched Ethernet using a contracts based framework
2009
Switched Ethernet is being used for real time transmissions in industrial automation more and and more. Most modern industrial switches are equipped with mechanisms to deal with time predictability. However, real-time transmission not only requires these mechanisms, but also the proper policies for managing network resources. This paper proposes the use of contracts. A contract is a set of transmission specifications which are negotiated between the applications and the run-time support. They define the application workload and the required performance guarantees. We implement contracts for real-time streaming as an extension of FRESCOR (Framework for Real-time Embedded Systems based on COn…

2012
The purpose of this document is to provide both, professionals and citizens, with information about the procedures and processes of intervention developed by social workers within the different health institutions of the Community of Valencia. It is important to identify the specificity of Social Work in the Health Care System in order to consolidate Professional Identity from the homogeneity in the processes and procedures of intervention and the identification of the duties carried out by these professionals in the different health institutions/services of the Community of Valencia.
Host chemical footprints induce host sex discrimination ability in egg parasitoids
2013
Trissolcus egg parasitoids, when perceiving the chemical footprints left on a substrate by pentatomid host bugs, adopt a motivated searching behaviour characterized by longer searching time on patches were signals are present. Once in contact with host chemical footprints, Trissolcus wasps search longer on traces left by associated hosts rather than non-associated species, and, in the former case, they search longer on traces left by females than males. Based on these evidences, we hypothesized that only associated hosts induce the ability to discriminate host sex in wasps. To test this hypothesis we investigated the ability of Trissolcus basalis, T. brochymenae, and Trissolcus sp. to disti…
On the Syntax of Fronted Adverbial Clauses in Two Tyrolean Dialects: The Distribution of Resumptive Semm
2023
Abstract This chapter discusses adverbial resumption in two Tyrolean dialects, Meranese and Mòcheno, which represent two privileged environments for investigations on microvariation. We show that certain classes of fronted adverbials are resumed in both languages by the resumptive element semm (lit. “there, then”), which behaves semantically like a generalized resumptive because it is used with a variety of adverbial clauses. However, unlike the Norwegian generalized resumptive studied by Christine Meklenborg, semm is a maximal category and cannot resume nominal arguments. We demonstrate that resumption with semm is limited to central adverbial clauses (e.g. temporal clauses), while periphe…
España plató de cine: claroscuros de las rutas de cine y televisión
2020
El interés por visitar los lugares donde se rodaron las películas y series de televisión de éxito está presente en la motivación de los viajes recreativos que realizan millones de turistas por todo el mundo. Aunque la imagen internacional de España no se ha construido sobre esta modalidad de turismo, la mejora en las políticas de incentivos fiscales que se ofrecen a las producciones internacionales, junto con la decidida apuesta de los gestores de destinos por ampliar su oferta cultural con rutas de cine y el interés de la industria audiovisual por alargar la vida de las producciones ha revitalizado la vieja idea de convertir el territorio en un plató de cine. El estudio de una muestra repr…
The internationalization of andalusian innovative companies. Mechanisms, evolution, phases and key variables
2009
En este artículo se presenta una tipología del grado de internacionalización que poseen las empresas innovadoras andaluzas en función del modo que han elegido para operar en cada país o mercado y de diferentes variables que nos ha permitido deducir que, en la actualidad, Andalucía se encuentra en las primeras etapas de la globalización. La internacionalización de la empresa ubicada en Andalucía está asociada sobre todo a la exportación directa e indirecta (ya sea como proveedora de inputs a firmas foráneas o compradora de inputs especializados en el mercado internacional). La estrategia de internacionalización mediante intercambio de conocimiento (acuerdos contractuales y de cooperación en …

2014
Master thesis development management- University of Agder, 2014 According to Economic and Social Statistic of Sri Lanka report in 2013, (p.21) the foreign employment was recorded as 23.8% of total labour force in the 2010. The total remittances income from abroad has risen steadily over the last years. As per the report, the remittances from Middle East countries were SLRS (Mn) 428,593 and it was SLRS (Mn) 335,387 from all other countries in 2012. Sri Lanka is struggling to strike a balance between maximizing the development benefits of migration while protecting migrant workers and their families from the adverse impacts of migration. While Sri Lankan government currently faces some challe…
