Ambivalent Déjà-vu: World War II in the poetry of the Northern Irish Troubles
2021
This article addresses how the poetry of the Northern Irish Troubles enters into a dialogue with the memory of World War II. Poems by Michael Longley, Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon, and Sinéad Morrissey are analysed, showing how World War II is a controversial source of comparison for these poets. While World War II provides important ways of framing the suffering and claustrophobia of the Northern Irish conflict, evident differences also mean that such comparisons are handled warily and with some irony. The poems are highly self-conscious utterances that seek to unsettle and develop generic strategies in the light of traumatic suffering. This essay draws on Michael Rothberg’s concept of mult…
Towards better privacy preservation by detecting personal events in photos shared within online social networks
2015
Today, social networking has considerably changed why people are taking pictures all the time everywhere they go. More than 500 million photos are uploaded and shared every day, along with more than 200 hours of videos every minute. More particularly, with the ubiquity of smartphones, social network users are now taking photos of events in their lives, travels, experiences, etc. and instantly uploading them online. Such public data sharing puts at risk the users’ privacy and expose them to a surveillance that is growing at a very rapid rate. Furthermore, new techniques are used today to extract publicly shared data and combine it with other data in ways never before thought possible. Howeve…
El poder religiós: llibres il·luminats per als bisbes catalans baixmedievals (segles XIV-XV)
2011
En los inicios del Gótico Internacional, destaca en Cataluña la presencia de elevadas dignidades eclesiásticas, sensibles a las novedades artísticas procedentes de más allá de los Pirineos, que intervinieron en la petición de manuscritos de lujo. Una de las personalidades más atractivas fue Joan Ermengol, obispo de Barcelona, anterior abad del monasterio de Sant Cugat del Vallés, uno de los scriptoria más importantes en la elaboración de libros iluminados en torno al año 1400. En este contexto, destaca la representación de estos prelados en los manuscritos encargados bajo sus designios, generando un repertorio de imágenes que establece contactos con las aportaciones iconográficas potenciada…
Prediction of arrival times and human resources allocation for container terminal
2011
Increasing competition in the container shipping sector has meant that terminals are having to equip themselves with increasingly accurate analytical and governance tools. A transhipment terminal is an extremely complex system in terms of both organisation and management. Added to the uncertainty surrounding ships’ arrival time in port and the costs resulting from over-underestimation of resources is the large number of constraints and variables involved in port activities. Predicting ships delays in advance means that the relative demand for each shift can be determined with greater accuracy, and the basic resources then allocated to satisfy that demand. To this end, in this article we pro…
Más allá del museo. Nuevos escenarios para la exposición
2018
[EN] Exhibition's stage has become a changing exercise over time, linked to a way of thinking historically the work. There are new museographic responses born of the participation of artists, architects and designers, and the role of the curator who, at times, transforms his role as theoretician in artist. Following this evolutionary dynamic, the exhibition has thus forged an almost independent identity of the museum itself. The meaning of the work in the place develops a new grammar that turns the exhibition into a work of art and also opens a debate around its current role
Proposition d'un dispositif sécurisé de suivi statistique de la diversité dans les entreprises signataires de la Charte de la diversité
2015
It appears to be quite difficult to verify compliance of non-discrimination and diversity promotion priniciplesin the enterprises, in terms of recruitment, career management and job stability. Beyond the methodologicalconcerns, it seems indeed particularly sensitive to give full account of these phenomenum on all aspects ofcareer paths and for each enterprise signatory of the French Charter of Diversity. This paper will outline someengineering items in statistics in order to try to address these issues with statistical matching techniques.It will also put into perspective the evolution of the statistical matching techniques perception in connectionwith the law project for a digital Republic

Application of the Wood model to lactation curves of Comisana sheep
1997
Abstract Ninety-two ewes of the Comisana breed were used in a study to verify the forecasting capacity of the mathematical model proposed by Wood for fitting sheep data, and to evaluate the effect of the environmental factors affecting the parameters of the lactation curve. The Wood model underestimated the total lactation milk production with an error margin of 12.2 ± 7.8 kg of milk corresponding to 10.9 ± 6.6%. There was a strong influence of order of lambing × lambing season interaction on the lactation parameters. The curves for the winter lambing ewes demonstrated a higher peak production than autumn lambing ewes (1728.4 vs. 1082.6 g, P ≤ 0.05 for the second lambing ewes and 1772.8 vs.…

Internationalisation of social work doctoral studies : experiences and perspectives in the changing context of European higher education
2016
The internationalisation of doctoral education in social work has become a newly developing area particularly in Europe during the last two decades. It has been promoted by two factors: (1) the reform of higher education (Bologna reform), which contributed to the development of doctoral study and (2) the establishment of European funding programmes that would allow international cooperation and ensure the quality of the programmes. Also, in the European Qualification Framework the knowledge, skills and competences gained by doctoral qualification are defined. In this article, we analyse three international doctoral projects that were developed in Europe in last 10 years. We focus on what th…
