Die Diskrepanz zwischen Linguistik und Fremdsprachenunterricht - am Beispiel der sogenannten Abtönungspartikeln im Deutschen

2016

It is beyond question that linguistics and foreign language teaching should go hand in hand, but unfortunately, this is not always the case. A good example of this phenomenon are the German modal particles: small words such as wohl in Achmed? Er ist wohl Türke, as denn in Meine Ferien waren super. - Wo warst du denn? or as mal in Komm mal!. Although numerous scientific publications have been made on this topic, it is sufficient to examine German textbooks in use to find out that they often fail to utilise the scientific insights developed from linguistics, regarding these words. After a description of German modal particles seen from the point of view of linguistics, the present article ana…

Active and inactive quarantine in epidemic spreading on adaptive activity-driven networks

2020

We consider an epidemic process on adaptive activity-driven temporal networks, with adaptive behaviour modelled as a change in activity and attractiveness due to infection. By using a mean-field approach, we derive an analytical estimate of the epidemic threshold for SIS and SIR epidemic models for a general adaptive strategy, which strongly depends on the correlations between activity and attractiveness in the susceptible and infected states. We focus on strong social distancing, implementing two types of quarantine inspired by recent real case studies: an active quarantine, in which the population compensates the loss of links rewiring the ineffective connections towards non-quarantining …

Nowcasting COVID‐19 incidence indicators during the Italian first outbreak

2020

A novel parametric regression model is proposed to fit incidence data typically collected during epidemics. The proposal is motivated by real-time monitoring and short-term forecasting of the main epidemiological indicators within the first outbreak of COVID-19 in Italy. Accurate short-term predictions, including the potential effect of exogenous or external variables are provided. This ensures to accurately predict important characteristics of the epidemic (e.g., peak time and height), allowing for a better allocation of health resources over time. Parameter estimation is carried out in a maximum likelihood framework. All computational details required to reproduce the approach and replica…

Estimation des performances, test et contrôle des systèmes cyber-physiques employant des réseaux de communication non idéaux

2020

Wireless technology is a key enabler of the promises of Industry 4.0 (Smart Manufacturing). As such, wireless technology will be adopted as a principal mode of communication within the factory beginning with the factory enterprise and eventually being adopted for use within the factory workcell. Factory workcell communication has particular requirements on latency, reliability, scale, and security that must first be met by the wireless communication technology used. Wireless is considered a non-ideal form of communication in that when compared to its wired counterparts, it is considered less reliable (lossy) and less secure. These possible impairments lead to delay and loss of data in indus…

"We fangirls need our fanservice" : a study on the topics of discussion in a predominantly female online football community

2013

Tämä tutkielma tarkastelee pääosin naisten muodostamaa Livejournal-yhteisöä, jonka kieli on englanti ja keskustelun aihe jalkapallo. Pyrin selvittämään, miten yhteisön jäsenet käsittelevät perinteisesti miehiseksi miellettyä diskurssia. Tämä selviää tutkimalla yhteisön puheenaiheiden eli topiikkien sisältöä vuonna 2010. Topiikkeja ja yhteisön käyttäjäprofiilia tutkimalla pyrin myös selvittämään, voiko yhteisön puheenaiheita tai itse yhteisöä kuvailla sukupuolittuneiksi. Urheilun on laajalti osoitettu olevan epätasa-arvoisia valtakonstruktioita ylläpitävä voima. Lisätutkimukselle on siis selkeää tarvetta. Omani kaltaisia tutkimuksia ei myöskään ole aikaisemmin tehty. Tämän poikkitieteellisen…

Low-altitude outbreaks of human fascioliasis related with summer rainfall in Gilan province, Iran

2011

Following human fascioliasis outbreaks in 1988 and 1999 in Gilan province, northern Iran, efforts are now made to shed light on the seasonal pattern of fascioliasis transmission in this endemic area, taking into account snail host populations, climatic conditions and human cases. Populations of the intermediate host snail (Lymnaea spp.) peak in May and November, while there is a fourfold increase in the rate of human fascioliasis in February compared to that of September. Transmission is likely to occur mainly in late autumn and sporadically in late spring. Rainfall, seasonally analysed in periods of 3 years, indicates that accumulated summer rainfall may be related with the 1988 and 1999 h…

Human fascioliasis in Argentina: retrospective overview, critical analysis and baseline for future research

2010

Abstract In Argentina, human fascioliasis has never been adequately analysed, although having a physiography, climate, animal prevalences and lymnaeids similar to those of countries where the disease is endemic such as Bolivia, Peru and Chile. We performed a literature search identifying 58 reports accounting for 619 cases, involving 13 provinces, their majority (97.7%) from high altitudes, in central mountainous areas and Andean valleys, concentrated in Cordoba (430 cases), Catamarca (73), San Luis (29) and Mendoza (28), the remaining provinces being rarely affected. This distribution does not fit that of animal fascioliasis. Certain aspects (higher prevalence in females in a local survey,…
