Do Diacritical Marks Play a Role at the Early Stages of Word Recognition in Arabic?
2016
Published: 22 August 2016 A crucial question in the domain of visual word recognition is whether letter similarity plays a role in the early stages of visual word processing. Here we focused on Arabic because in this language there are various groups of letters that share the same basic shape and only differ in the number/location of diacritical points. We conducted a masked priming lexical decision experiment in which a target word was preceded by: (i) an identity prime; (ii) a prime in which the critical letter was replaced by a letter with the same shape that differed in the number of diacritics (e.g., ); or (iii) a prime in which the critical letter was replaced by a letter with differe…
Transfer Learning of Deep Learning Models for Cloud Masking in Optical Satellite Images
2023
Los satélites de observación de la Tierra proporcionan una oportunidad sin precedentes para monitorizar nuestro planeta a alta resolución tanto espacial como temporal. Sin embargo, para procesar toda esta cantidad creciente de datos, necesitamos desarrollar modelos rápidos y precisos adaptados a las características específicas de los datos de cada sensor. Para los sensores ópticos, detectar las nubes en la imagen es un primer paso inevitable en la mayoría de aplicaciones tanto terrestres como oceánicas. Aunque detectar nubes brillantes y opacas es relativamente fácil, identificar automáticamente nubes delgadas semitransparentes o diferenciar nubes de nieve o superficies brillantes es mucho …
Alternatīvās vīrietības prakses
2017
Maģistra darba „Alternatīvās vīrietības prakses” mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā tiek konstruētas tradicionālai vīrišķībai alternatīvas vīrietības; darba galvenie pētnieciskie jautājumi ir: kāpēc alternatīvās vīrietības tiek konstruētas, kādas jaunas nozīmes un prakses vīrieši saista ar savu vīrišķību, kā alternatīvo vīrietību konstruēšana ietekmē vīriešu ikdienas dzīvi un kādas ir ar to konstruēšanu saistītās problēmas. Pētījuma teorētiskajam ietvaram izmantoti dažadu vīriešu studiju pētnieku skatījumi uz maskulinitātēm, tostarp Reivinas Koneles idejas; alternatīvu vīrietību konstruēšanas kontekstā izmantota arī konvenciju teorija. Darbā izmantotas kvalitatīvās pētījumu metodes: empīriskie dati i…
Quotidianità e virus: un diario semiotico
2021
Beyond health issues, we know that the pandemic has changed our daily lives. Accelerating socio-cultural trends that were already present in our contemporaneity, such as functionalism, the control of bodies, the fear of others, forced hygiene, the reduction of essential freedoms, work from home ... The semiologist, constantly on the hunt of signals and symbols to be interpreted, he thus tried to intercept some of these modulations of daily life, with a kind of diary in public, sprinkled with various insights proposed to readers of various kinds. The following text is a partial collection of these notes, which, read now, may perhaps change their meaning, and interest those who, out of desper…

Oblicza karnawału w krajach Maghrebu. Zarys problemu
2018
W artykule została podjęta próba ukazania specyfiki widowisk kulturowych w Maghrebie. Prezentacja problemu została skupiona na karnawałach klasycznych/tradycyjnych i współczesnych/zinstytucjonalizowanych. Karnawały klasyczne wyróżnia hierarchiczność, rywalizacja, a także tworzenie wspólnotowości. Wpisują się one również w działania mające na celu manifestowanie tradycji, identyfikacji i przynależności. Natomiast widowisk współczesne/zinstytucjonalizowane powiązane są z przestrzenią miasta lub ośrodkiem turystycznym; odsłaniają biznesowy i komercyjny charakter. Ich powszechność i popularność można tłumaczyć przekraczaniem granic lokalnych, państwowych, jak w przypadku karnawału berberskiego,…

Masks and carnivals in contemporary Sardinia
2020
The carnival occupies an important place in Sardinia, and attracts the attention of scholars with its continuously renewed meanings and functions. Furthermore, the institution of carnival is one of the cultural traits that has most oriented enhancement, research, re-proposal, revitalization of spontaneous groups and cultural associations: local traditions are re-learned and reworked along with specific identities and new forms of expression. In this sense, we can speak of new carnivals; cultural heritage in new economic and social contexts. In other words: today’s representations and masks refer to an alleged tradition to respond to contemporary needs and requests. In the case of Sardinian …
Filter Masks during the Second Phase of SARS-CoV-2: Study on Population
2023
During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the most common countermeasure are the use of masks, which are supposed to filter inhaled and exhaled air to reduce the spread of the virus. The masks, which are medical devices, must be used by providing appropriate instructions for correct use. This study, which examined the population during the advanced stage of the pandemic, highlighted a substantial improvement in the management and choice of masks, even though the information disseminated to the population probably should be even more detailed and precise in order to avoid incorrect behavior that could compromise the effectiveness of these devices; in fact a high percentage of subjects had behaviors th…
