The Effect of Public Subsidies for Formal Care on the Care Provision for Disabled Elderly People in France

2012

Ce papier vise à évaluer l’effet de l’allocation personnalisée d’autonomie (APA) sur l’aide reçue par les personnes âgées dépendantes vivant à domicile. À partir des données de l’enquête Handicap-Santé Ménage, nous proposons une analyse statistique basée sur une méthode d’appariement par score de propension. Nos résultats suggèrent que l’aide professionnelle financée par l’intermédiaire de l’APA se substitue partiellement, selon le niveau de dépendance et les ressources en aide informelle, à de l’aide professionnelle financée de manière privée et à de l’aide informelle, mais que globalement, bénéficier de l’APA améliore la prise en charge des personnes âgées dépendantes. The aim of this pap…

Haptic Visuality and Film Narration. Mapping New Women’s Cinema in Spain

2020

There is a trend in female film production in the 21st century in the context of Spain towards a type of cinema that we could classify as haptic. It is a mode of representation concerned with multisensory expression in film images. In this article, we shall study this haptic visuality in the works of four filmmakers: Isabel Coixet, Paula Ortiz, Mar Coll and Carla Simón, whose films in this century exemplify the trend. The method chosen is textual analysis, which will provide us with the necessary tools to study matters concerning representation (framing), narration (nuclei and catalysis) and communication (spectatorial subject). These three analytical categories together will enable us to s…

Automating statistical diagrammatic representations with data characterization

2017

The search for an efficient method to enhance data cognition is especially important when managing data from multidimensional databases. Open data policies have dramatically increased not only the volume of data available to the public, but also the need to automate the translation of data into efficient graphical representations. Graphic automation involves producing an algorithm that necessarily contains inputs derived from the type of data. A set of rules are then applied to combine the input variables and produce a graphical representation. Automated systems, however, fail to provide an efficient graphical representation because they only consider either a one-dimensional characterizat…

Co-simulation platform based on systemc for multiprocessor system on chip architecture exploration

2007

Currently multiprocessor embedded systems are the principal vectors of semiconductor industry. Modelling, validating and analyzing a system performances impose the evolution of the traditional simulation techniques. In this paper we define the methodology we used in constructing the STARSoC co-simulation environment. This platform aims to explore at higher levels of abstractions a multiprocessors system on chip architectures. The platform reference design contains several OpenRISC 1200 Instruction Set Simulators (ISSs) wrapped under SystemC, and some basic peripherals within the SystemC simulation framework. Our purpose is to develop a complete design space exploration tool. In order to ass…

Optimizing the Use of an Integrated LMS: Hardware Evolution through Distributed Computing. Experience from the Universitat de València

2009

The advent of the Internet has opened a scope for research in new methods and tools that may facilitate the teaching and learning processes. This has, in turn, led to the development of learning platforms to support teaching and learning activities. Nowadays most universities provide their academic community with some form of a learning management system (LMS). To achieve the optimal use of such type of systems, they must integrate all their academic community and preexisting applications at its institutions. These complex objectives can be reached by using a robust architecture, preferably an open system, based on distributed computing. In this paper, we expose the Universitat de Valencia …

An Introduction to Ontology Based Structured Knowledge Base System: Knowledge Acquisition Module

2013

The following text presents the method of supplementing and verifying information stored in a framework system of the semantic knowledge base. The indicated method refers to the knowledge of ontological character, in other words to information about definitions of concepts and relationships among them. The aim of the method is the constant supplementing and verifying of the knowledge, and making more precise and detailed information about existing connections between concepts. The key aspect of the method is questions generating strictly dependent on the preconceived structure of stored knowledge.

Conceptual Ontological Object Knowledge Base and Language

2008

This paper deals with AI in aspect of knowledge acquisition and ontology base structure. The core of the system was designed in an object model to optimize it for further processing. Direct concept linking was used to assure fast semantic network processing. Predefined attributes used in the core minimize the number of basic connections within the ontology and help in inference. The system is assumed to generate questions and to specify the knowledge. The AI system defined in this way opens a possibility for better understanding of such basic human mind mechanisms as learning or analyzing.

RTS2: Lessons learned from a widely distributed telescope network

2008

RTS2 (Remote Telescope System 2) is a highly modular open source telescope and observatory management software package. It evolved from RTS, which was developed in Python to control a telescope aimed at observing optical transients of γ ray burts. The development of a network system capable of operating robotic telescopes is both difficult and complicated. Along with continued software development one must be concerned with maintaining operations and obtaining results. This is a review of experiences gained building a network of robotic telescopes. It focuses on describing which issues are important during development of the robotic observatory software and requirements for future developme…
