“Apparently, women don't know how to operate doors": A corpus-based analysis of women stereotypes in the TV series <i>3rd Rock from the Sun<…

2017

This paper explores how women stereotypes are discursively evaluated in the TV sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun by paying attention to the societal, cultural and ideological values they convey. Following recent trends for the study of television series (Bednarek, 2010), the analysis is both qualitative and quantitative, adopting a Corpus-Assisted Discourse Analysis approach (Baker, 2006; Partington, 2004). The contextualised analysis of words that refer to women confirms that the sitcom writers of 3rd Rock from the Sun purposefully resort to stereotyping as a verbal strategy to create humour while conveying negative attitudes towards women.

Online Intercultural Exchanges Through Digital Storytelling

2017

This article focuses on the affordances of a digital storytelling project in developing students' language, digital and other skills: learning and innovation, creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, team working, and life and career skills. The project was undertaken by university English for Specific Purposes students and was conducted within an Online Intercultural Exchange between the Cyprus University of Technology and the University of Valencia. Its design was based on a Project-Based Learning (PBL) methodology. It incorporated active learning and multimodal resources and capabilities. The need for transforming language teaching pedagogies was borne in mind, as it is necessary …

Erot järjestykseen! : Eurovision laulukilpailu, kansallisuus ja televisiohistoria

2006

Eurovision laulukilpailu (euroviisut) on ollut näkyvä osa suomalaista televisiokulttuuria vuodesta 1961 alkaen. Kahden televisiokanavan aikaan se oli suureellinen tapaus arkisen ohjelmiston joukossa ja kiistelty suosikkiohjelma. Nykyisin Eurovision laulukilpailulla ei enää ole samanlaista erikoisasemaa vuotuisessa TV-kalenterissa, mutta se herättää yhä vilkkaita mediakeskusteluja. Niissä kansallisuus on ollut keskeinen huolenaihe. Erot järjestykseen! avaa näkökulman suomalaisen television ja populaarikulttuurin historiaan. Kulttuurintutkimuksen ja feministisen tutkimuksen keinoin tarkastellaan, kuinka Eurovision laulukilpailuun liittyvässä media-aineistossa tuotetaan ja järjestetään eroja. …

Real-time Multispectral Image Processing and Registration on 3D Point Cloud for Vineyard Analysis

2021

International audience; Nowadays, precision agriculture and precision viticulture are under strong development. In order to accomplish effective actions, robots require robust perception of the culture and the surrounding environment. Computer vision systems have to identify plant parts (branches, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, vegetables, etc.) and their respective health status. Moreover, they must merge various plant information, to measure agronomic indices, to classify them and finally to extract data to enable the agriculturist or expert to make a relevant decision. We propose a real-time method to acquire, process and register multispectral images fused to 3D. The sensors system, co…

Impacts and adaptation options of climate change on ecosystem services in Finland: a model based study

2013

At a global level, it is estimated that nearly two-thirds of ecosystem services have been degraded in just fifty years. The additional stresses imposed by climate change will require extraordinary adaptation. This paper synthesises main result of a large Finnish project studying the vulnerability of key ecosystem services to climate change and the possibilities for the individual sectors to adapt to these changes. The project based its work on data and infrastructures of nine intensively studied areas belonging to the Finnish LTER (Long-Term Ecological Research) network. The methods developed and used included remote sensing, derivation of impact scenarios, dynamic modelling, laboratory exp…

2D size, position and shape definition of defects by B-scan image analysis

2015

The non-destructive evaluation of defects by automatic procedures is of great importance for structural components. Thanks to the developments of the non-contact ultrasonic techniques, the automation of the inspections is gaining a progressively important role. In this work, an automatic inspection technique for the evaluation of defects by the analysis of B-scan images obtained by a laser ultrasonic system is presented. The data are extracted directly from a B-scan map obtained for a panel with internal defects, and are used to build an image of the cross section of the panel. The proposed automatic procedure allows the definition of size, position and shape of defects in panels of known t…

High Quality Reconstruction of Dynamic Objects using 2D-3D Camera Fusion

2017

International audience; In this paper, we propose a complete pipeline for high quality reconstruction of dynamic objects using 2D-3D camera setup attached to a moving vehicle. Starting from the segmented motion trajectories of individual objects, we compute their precise motion parameters, register multiple sparse point clouds to increase the density, and develop a smooth and textured surface from the dense (but scattered) point cloud. The success of our method relies on the proposed optimization framework for accurate motion estimation between two sparse point clouds. Our formulation for fusing it closest-point and it consensus based motion estimations, respectively in the absence and pres…
