Early-design improvement of human reliability in an experimental facility: A combined approach and application on SPES
2019
Abstract SPES (Selective Production of Exotic Species) is a second-generation Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) facility for advanced nuclear physics applications, currently under construction at INFN (National Institute of Nuclear Physics) of Legnaro, Italy. Despite the potentially important safety implications of human errors for ISOL facilities, only a limited number of studies addressing this issue have been performed worldwide. This paper tries to address this need by means of an integrated approach of Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) and three human error quantification methods: HEART (in an enhanced version), SPAR-H, and CREAM. The application of multiple Human Reliability Analysis (…
Virtual atomic and molecular data centre
2010
The Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre (VAMDC, http://www.vamdc.eu) is a European Union funded collaboration between groups involved in the generation, evaluation, and use of atomic and molecular data. VAMDC aims to build a secure, documented, flexible and interoperable e-science environment-based interface to existing atomic and molecular data. The project will cover establishing the core consortium, the development and deployment of the infrastructure and the development of interfaces to the existing atomic and molecular databases. It will also provide a forum for training potential users and dissemination of expertise worldwide. This review describes the scope of the VAMDC project;…
Beyond Social and Family Generations
2019
Here the theoretical foundations on which the arguments in the book are built are developed. The chapter begins by introducing the concept of generation as both a cohort-based and a family-based construction. A discussion then follows of how various forms of intergenerational solidarity and conflict shape the relationships between family generations. Particular attention is paid to the need for an approach that goes beyond any strict generational division and is more sensitive to the ways in which individual lives are interconnected through the use of digital technologies. To assist in this task, a post-Mannheimian approach to generational identity is outlined.
BUCC Shared Task: Cross-Language Document Similarity
2015
We summarise the organisation and results of the first shared task aimed at detecting the most similar texts in a large multilingual collection. The dataset of the shared was based on Wikipedia dumps with interlanguage links with further filtering to ensure comparability of the paired articles. The eleven system runs we received have been evaluated using the TREC evaluation metrics. 1 Task description Parallel corpora of original texts with their translations provide the basis for multilingual NLP applications since the beginning of the 1990s. Relative scarcity of such resources led to greater attention to comparable (=less parallel) resources to mine information about possible translations…
Concurrent TMS-fMRI for causal network perturbation and proof of target engagement
2021
The experimental manipulation of neural activity by neurostimulation techniques overcomes the inherent limitations of correlative recordings, enabling the researcher to investigate causal brain-behavior relationships. But only when stimulation and recordings are combined, the direct impact of the stimulation on neural activity can be evaluated. In humans, this can be achieved non-invasively through the concurrent combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Concurrent TMS-fMRI allows the assessment of the neurovascular responses evoked by TMS with excellent spatial resolution and full-brain coverage. This enables the functional ma…
Rigotrio At Semeval-2017 Task 9: Combining Machine Learning And Grammar Engineering For Amr Parsing And Generation
2017
By addressing both text-to-AMR parsing and AMR-to-text generation, SemEval-2017 Task 9 established AMR as a powerful semantic interlingua. We strengthen the interlingual aspect of AMR by applying the multilingual Grammatical Framework (GF) for AMR-to-text generation. Our current rule-based GF approach completely covered only 12.3% of the test AMRs, therefore we combined it with state-of-the-art JAMR Generator to see if the combination increases or decreases the overall performance. The combined system achieved the automatic BLEU score of 18.82 and the human Trueskill score of 107.2, to be compared to the plain JAMR Generator results. As for AMR parsing, we added NER extensions to our SemEva…
The Full Protection and Security Standard in Investment Law: A Specific Obligation?
2019
This chapter aims to demonstrate that full protection and security and fair and equitable treatment are two different standards that don’t apply under the same circumstances and have different legal status. After a historical overview (Sect. 1) intended to show how the conflation between the two has emerged over the centuries, emphasis is put on the nature and the scope of application of the full protection and security standard when compared to the fair and equitable treatment standard (Sects. 2 and 3). The next section of the current chapter introduces the idea that full protection and security is to be read in light of another provision often found in international investment agreements:…
LEARNING DIFFERENT READING STRATEGIES AS A BASIS FOR LEARNING SKILLS
2020
Based on the latest OECD International Studies (The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development [OECD], 2019) on reading literacy of Latvian primary school pupils, the overall reading literacy has fallen.The ability to read and understand text is one of the first skills students need at school. Based on observations during practice, primary school learners are technically well literate, that is, they can clearly read what has been written, acknowledge sentence boundaries, and read with appropriate intonation. However, the task of the school is not to teach students to read technically, but to read thoughtfully, so that the information could be understood and used in further learn…
The Study of the Impact of Erasmus+ Mobility Projects on Participants. Data Analysis at “Lucian Blaga” University of Sibiu
2020
The aim of the Erasmus+ programme is to develop the sense of belonging to “European values” through mobility projects, and therefore, it focuses on a range of steps, in order to achieve its goal, such as the improvement of a foreign language, the development of personal and professional skills, the acquirement of knowledge and competences, so that the beneficiaries are prepared for on a global labour market, and have access to higher technology. The following data presentation and analysis have the purpose to bring forward the main impact of Erasmus+ mobility projects on LBUS’ students and LBUS alumni. The purpose is also to highlight the achievements declared by the beneficiaries and deter…
Reaching out to people struggling with their lives: a discourse analysis of answers from Internet-based services in Norway and Sweden
2012
Anders Johan W Andersen,1 Tommy Svensson21Department of Psychosocial Health, University of Agder, Grimstad, Norway; 2Department of Behavioural Sciences and Learning, Linköping University, Linköping, SwedenAbstract: The Internet has enlarged the scope of human communication, opening new avenues for connecting with people who are struggling with their lives. This article presents a discourse analysis of 101 responses to 98 questions that were posted on 14 different Internet-based mental health services in Norway and Sweden. We aimed to examine and describe the dominant understandings and favored recommendations in the services’ answers, and we reflected upon the so…
