Ensuring Diverse User Experiences and Accessibility While Developing the TeSLA e-Assessment System
2019
The TeSLA project, with its new, innovative approaches for e-assessment, offers a great possibility for increasing the educational equality and making higher education studies available for all. It has been estimated that 10–15% of students in higher education institutions have some disabilities or special educational needs. At online universities or in online programmes, the number is even higher. These numbers emphasise the importance of the universal design for learning as a leading principle while developing the digital learning environments and e-assessment procedures. In this chapter, we describe the key elements of ensuring the accessibility of the TeSLA e-assessment system during th…
How Trump tweets: A comparative analysis of tweets by US politicians
2021
This paper analyses tweets sent from Donald Trump’s Twitter account @realDonaldTrump and contextualises them by contrasting them with several genres (i.e. political and ‘average’ Twitter, blogs, expressive writing, novels, The New York Times and natural speech). Taking common claims about Donald Trump’s language as a starting point, the study focusses on commonalities and differences between his tweets and those by other US politicians. Using the sentiment analysis tool Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) and a principal component analysis, I examine a newly compiled 1.5-million-word corpus of tweets sent from US politicians’ accounts between 2009 and 2018 with a special focus on the q…
Towards Bankruptcy Prediction: Deep Sentiment Mining to Detect Financial Distress from Business Management Reports
2018
Due to their disclosure required by law, business management reports have become publicly available for a large number of companies, and these reports offer the opportunity to assess the financial health or distress of a company, both quantitatively from the balance sheets and qualitatively from the text. In this paper, we analyze the potential of deep sentiment mining from the textual parts of business management reports and aim to detect signals for financial distress. We (1) created the largest corpus of business reports analyzed qualitatively to date, (2) defined a non-trivial target variable based on the so-called Altman Z-score, (3) developed a filtering of sentences based on class-co…

A Lexicon-based Approach for Sentiment Classification of Amazon Books Reviews in Italian Language
2016
We present a system aimed at the automatic classification of the sentiment orientation expressed into book reviews written in Italian language. The system we have developed is found on a lexicon-based approach and uses NLP techniques in order to take into account the linguistic relation between terms in the analyzed texts. The classification of a review is based on the average sentiment strenght of its sentences, while the classification of each sentence is obtained through a parsing process inspecting, for each term, a window of previous items to detect particular combinations of elements giving inversions or variations of polarity. The score of a single word depends on all the associated …
Les deux faces – objective/subjective – de la mobilité sociale
2006
06062; National audience; How does objective social mobility, traditionally measured with tables of mobility drawn up by sociologists, relate to feelings about mobility, i.e., how individuals perceive, explain and appraise their social trajectory? Using a question from a survey (Insee's Formation, qualification professionnelle), subjective mobility was statistically evaluated so as to bring the two approaches to mobility together and measure the (considerable) frequency of deviations. Subjective mobility was then analyzed qualitatively on the basis of interviews conducted with respondents in the same survey. This helps us account for deviations and identify the bundle of parameters that peo…
L'estudi de la deshumanització i la infrahumanització en psicologia
2010
L'estudi psicosocial sobre la conducta antisocial i la crueltat dels éssers humans reconeix l'existència d'una representació deshumanitzadora de l'altre. El propòsit d'aquest article és presentar els avanços empírics en l'estudi de la infrahumanització, com a atribució diferencial de sentiments en l'endogrup i en l'exogrup. Atès que els sentiments 'per exemple, l'amor, l'esperança, el menyspreu, el ressentiment' es consideren emocions exclusivament humanes, les persones no sols atribueixen més sentiments a l'endogrup que no als exogrups, sinó que neguen a aquests últims la capacitat de vivenciar-ne. Ara oferim, en primer lloc, una descripció de les distintes perspectives que s'han utilitzat…
Investor Sentiment and Accruals Anomaly
2017
This paper examines whether investors’ sentiment affectsaccruals anomaly across 15 European countries. In line with recent evidence for the U.S., we find that sentiment causes accruals mispricing across European countries. The effect is pronounced for stocks whose valuations are highly subjective and difficultto arbitrage. Our results also reveal evidence in favor of managers' opportunistic disclosure behavior. The accruals reported are higher in high sentiment periods as compared with low sentiment periods. Our cross-country analysisprovidesevidence that sentiment influences accruals anomaly in countries with weaker outside shareholder rights, lower legal enforcement, lower equity market d…

The role of punishment in the works of Adam Smith
2009
The reformation of criminal justice is one of the great themes in Enlightenment culture and concerned its main exponents from Montesquieu to Beccaria, Filangieri, Bentham. One of the traits of greater modernity in the theories worked out by juridical Enlightenment is the resort to the utilitarianinspired economic analysis. Adam Smith doesn't back out of this scientific and civil commitment, but his doctrine appears significantly different though contemporary to juridical Enlightenment, and is also based on economic argumentations. In this work we will look through the main writings which contain the Smithian thought in search of those parts dealing with the theme of punishment and its socia…
