Tavoitteena vahva ja yhtenäinen kansa : historia ja kieli kansallisen identiteetin rakentamisen välineinä Pätsin aikakauden Virossa 1934-1940

2018

In this dissertation, I study national campaigns aimed at constructing Estonian national identity in 1934–1940. The campaigns were organized through the cooperation of Konstantin Päts’ authoritarian government and civil society. I focus on the folk art campaign and on the name changing campaign. The name changing campaign was the largest national project in Estonia, aiming at the Estonification of names. Initially, the campaign focused on changing individuals’ surnames and first names, but later also on changing the names of places, streets and properties. The name changing campaign had history political and language political dimensions. Through the folk art campaign, the state tried to af…

Transnational Social Fields

2018

This chapter excavates Bourdieu’s theoretical insights concerning political sociology to develop a theory of transnational structuration processes. The early Bourdieu implicitly imagined the state as a nationally bounded actor. Only later in his career did he begin to grapple with issues such as globalization, transnationalism, and neoliberalism; and it is this later germ of ideas that this chapter develops. Transnational social fields, this chapter argues, are not reducible to institutional or organizational structures. They require a more holistic analysis of institutions and their underpinnings. To provide an example of how Bourdieu’s political sociology can be extended to transnational …

Experimental validation of a distribution theory based analysis of the effect of manufacturing tolerances on permanent magnet synchronous machines

2017

An experimental study on the effect of permanent magnet tolerances on the performances of a Tubular Linear Ferrite Motor is presented in this paper. The performances that have been investigated are: cogging force, end effect cogging force and generated thrust. It is demonstrated that: 1) the statistical variability of the magnets introduces harmonics in the spectrum of the cogging force; 2) the value of the end effect cogging force is directly linked to the values of then remanence field of the external magnets placed on the slider; 3) the generated thrust and its statistical distribution depend on the remanence field of the magnets placed on the translator.

ISARIC-COVID-19 dataset: A Prospective, Standardized, Global Dataset of Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19

2022

The International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC) COVID-19 dataset is one of the largest international databases of prospectively collected clinical data on people hospitalized with COVID-19. This dataset was compiled during the COVID-19 pandemic by a network of hospitals that collect data using the ISARIC-World Health Organization Clinical Characterization Protocol and data tools. The database includes data from more than 705,000 patients, collected in more than 60 countries and 1,500 centres worldwide. Patient data are available from acute hospital admissions with COVID-19 and outpatient follow-ups. The data include signs and symptoms, pre-existing como…

One-Pixel Attack Deceives Computer-Assisted Diagnosis of Cancer

2020

Computer vision and machine learning can be used to automate various tasks in cancer diagnostic and detection. If an attacker can manipulate the automated processing, the results can be devastating and in the worst case lead to wrong diagnosis and treatment. In this research, the goal is to demonstrate the use of one-pixel attacks in a real-life scenario with a real pathology dataset, TUPAC16, which consists of digitized whole-slide images. We attack against the IBM CODAIT's MAX breast cancer detector using adversarial images. These adversarial examples are found using differential evolution to perform the one-pixel modification to the images in the dataset. The results indicate that a mino…

The Recycling Gibbs sampler for efficient learning

2018

Monte Carlo methods are essential tools for Bayesian inference. Gibbs sampling is a well-known Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm, extensively used in signal processing, machine learning, and statistics, employed to draw samples from complicated high-dimensional posterior distributions. The key point for the successful application of the Gibbs sampler is the ability to draw efficiently samples from the full-conditional probability density functions. Since in the general case this is not possible, in order to speed up the convergence of the chain, it is required to generate auxiliary samples whose information is eventually disregarded. In this work, we show that these auxiliary sample…

Asymptotic and bootstrap tests for subspace dimension

2022

Most linear dimension reduction methods proposed in the literature can be formulated using an appropriate pair of scatter matrices, see e.g. Ye and Weiss (2003), Tyler et al. (2009), Bura and Yang (2011), Liski et al. (2014) and Luo and Li (2016). The eigen-decomposition of one scatter matrix with respect to another is then often used to determine the dimension of the signal subspace and to separate signal and noise parts of the data. Three popular dimension reduction methods, namely principal component analysis (PCA), fourth order blind identification (FOBI) and sliced inverse regression (SIR) are considered in detail and the first two moments of subsets of the eigenvalues are used to test…

Zur (unaufhaltsamen?) Verwischung der Grenzen zwischen Gemein-und Fachsprache: die Lehren aus dem COVID19-Diskurs

2021

International audience; Zur (unaufhaltsamen?) Verwischung der Grenzen zwischen Gemein- und Fachsprache: die Lehren aus dem COVID-19-DiskursDie Fachsprachenforschung hat lange Zeit eine Abgrenzung von Gemein- und Fachsprachen postuliert. Viele Arbeiten der letzten drei Jahrzehnte haben dieses Postulat jedoch hinterfragt und stark relativiert. Neuere Ansätze zur Fachkommunikationsforschung – etwa aus der Sozio-, Varietäten- oder gar Ethnolinguistik aber auch aus den Kognitionswissenschaften (Gautier 2008, 2013). – haben schließlich neue Konzeptualisierungen von Fachdiskursen zur Diskussion gestellt, wo eine solche Abgrenzung einfach als unhaltbar aufgefasst wird. Vor dem Hintergrund des thema…

Zum Zusammenspiel von Sprach-, Fach-und Kulturwissen bei der Rechtsübersetzung: Der potentielle Beitrag kognitiver Semantik

2018

International audience; [Kontext] Dass Fachübersetzung sich nicht auf Terminologiearbeit bzw. terminologische Kenntnisse reduzieren lässt, ist ein heute allgemein akzeptiertes Ergebnis der neueren Fachsprachenforschung, die – zum Beispiel unter der Bezeichnung Specialized Communication Studies (Schubert 2011) – immer interdisziplinärer angelegt ist. Dies gilt insbesondere für Rechtsübersetzung, wo die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Rechtsprache, Rechtssystem und Rechtskultur für das richtige Verständnis des Ausgangstextes sowie die angemessene, adressatgerichtete Produktion des Zieltextes ausschlaggebend sind. [Problemstellung] Im Beitrag soll die These zur Diskussion gestellt werden, nach der d…
