Developmental pathways of language development : a longitudinal predictive study from prelinguistic stage to outcome at school entry

2017

This research focused on the pathways of development during the prelinguistic stage and from prelinguistic development to later language ability. The first goal was to follow and describe the development of several prelinguistic communication skills during the first two years of life (Studies I and II). The second goal was to examine the predictive relations between this development and language ability and difficulties, as well as memory, up to school age (Studies I, II, and III). The third goal evaluated the feasibility of parental screening in identifying children at risk for language and communication difficulties (Studies I, II, and III). Prelinguistic skills were followed with a paren…

Multi-Chip RFID Antenna Integrating Shape-Memory Alloys for Detection of Thermal Thresholds

2011

Low-cost wireless measurement of objects' temperature is one of the greatest expectation of radiofrequency identification technology for the so many applications in cold supply-chain control and safety assessment in general. In this context, the paper proposes a dual-chip UHF tag embedding shape memory alloys (SMA) able to transform the variation of the tagged item's temperature into a permanent change of antenna radiation features. This event-driven antenna is hence able to selectively activate the embedded microchips according to the temperature above or below a given threshold. A general design methodology for the resulting two-ports tag antenna is here introduced and then applied to pro…

Ślady (nie)pamięci o Porajmosie. Kulturowa mapa romskiego holokaustu w Serbii i Chorwacji

2019

Giergiel and Taczyńska explore the memory of the Romani Holocaust (Porajmos) in the countries of former Yugoslavia (Serbia and Croatia). The memory of Porajmos is considered here as a social and cultural construct that has a history typical for a particular country/region; however, this subject is commonly marginalized, both in historiography and in cultural texts. Giergiel and Taczyńska examine the causes of Porajmos (social group discrimination, specificity of cultural code, historical discrimination) and the reasons for the absence of memory (mute memory) of Porajmos. The overview of Porajmos research in the post-Yugoslavarea and the discussion of commemorative practices related to the R…

Lauku diskurss presē latviešu valodā Latvijā (1989-2012)

2014

Promocijas darbā analizēts preses veidotais lauku diskurss un tā izmaiņas sociālekonomisko un citu apstākļu ietekmē no 1989. līdz 2012. gadam. Pētījumā aplūkotas laukiem, to iedzīvotājiem un zemniecībai piedēvētās nozīmes, rezultātus skatot nacionālās identitātes un sociālās atmiņas kontekstā. Teorētiskajā daļā izskaidrota lauku un nācijas saikne, nacionālās identitātes, sociālās atmiņas jēdzieni un komunikācijas loma nācijas re-iztēlošanas procesā. Konteksta uztverei darbu papildina latviešu nacionālās identitātes izpratnes, lauku un lauksaimniecības attīstības, mediju vides un tēmas izpētes līmeņa apraksts. Empīriskie dati iegūti ar diskursa vēsturisko analīzi un kvantitatīvo kontentanalī…

SparseHC: A Memory-efficient Online Hierarchical Clustering Algorithm

2014

Computing a hierarchical clustering of objects from a pairwise distance matrix is an important algorithmic kernel in computational science. Since the storage of this matrix requires quadratic space with respect to the number of objects, the design of memory-efficient approaches is of high importance to this research area. In this paper, we address this problem by presenting a memory-efficient online hierarchical clustering algorithm called SparseHC. SparseHC scans a sorted and possibly sparse distance matrix chunk-by-chunk. Meanwhile, a dendrogram is built by merging cluster pairs as and when the distance between them is determined to be the smallest among all remaining cluster pairs. The k…

Auditory cortical and hippocampal-system mismatch responses to duration deviants in urethane-anesthetized rats

2013

Any change in the invariant aspects of the auditory environment is of potential importance. The human brain preattentively or automatically detects such changes. The mismatch negativity (MMN) of event-related potentials (ERPs) reflects this initial stage of auditory change detection. The origin of MMN is held to be cortical. The hippocampus is associated with a later generated P3a of ERPs reflecting involuntarily attention switches towards auditory changes that are high in magnitude. The evidence for this cortico-hippocampal dichotomy is scarce, however. To shed further light on this issue, auditory cortical and hippocampal-system (CA1, dentate gyrus, subiculum) local-field potentials were …

Apprendimento, memoria, oblio

2012

Le teorie sulla memoria tengono conto sia della struttura della memoria che dei processi operanti al suo interno. Con il termine struttura ci si riferisce al modo in cui è organizzata la memoria, mentre con il termine processi si fa riferimento alle attività che si verificano all'interno della memoria. Apprendimento e memoria implicano una serie di stadi distinti. Il primo stadio noto come codifica, si riferisce a tutti quei fenomeni che hanno luogo durante la presentazione dell'informazione da ricordare. Il secondo stadio riguarda l'immagazzinamento delle informazioni come conseguenza del processo di codifica. Il terzo e ultimo stadio è il recupero delle informazioni immagazzinate.
