Deviance, did you get it? An experiment in reading to learn

1991

Abstract This article reports an experiment in which an attempt was made to test reading a scientific text under as natural study conditions as possible. After reading a lengthy text from a Sociology textbook in English, five out of 25 Finnish college students understood a basic concept the way it had been defined by a sociologist; 4 weeks later, after going over the text the second time in Finnish, the number increased to 12. However, even after the second reading of the text in their first language, only half of the students had learnt the basic concept. This indicates that the problems in studying were not only linguistic problems; they seem also to have been study skill problems in gene…

Promoción de ciudades Patrimonio de la Humanidad: estudio sobre la traducción del léxico relacionado con la gastronomía

2019

[ES] Esta contribución presenta un estudio de traducción español-inglés basado en un corpus formado por las páginas web turísticas oficiales de las 15 ciudades españolas que hasta la fecha han sido declaradas Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad de la UNESCO. Nos centramos en la traducción de los referentes culturales y, más concretamente, en el léxico relacionado con la comida y la bebida. Las técnicas de traducción observadas se agrupan siguiendo propuestas de clasificación existentes en la literatura adaptadas a los referentes culturales. Los resultados obtenidos permiten llegar a conclusiones en cuanto a las tendencias de traducción (extranjerizantes o familiarizantes) en este…

Words, Corpus and Back to Words : From Language to Discourse

2018

The aim of this issue of is to bring together investigation into the lexicon in a variety of languages, in a diversity of manifestations – both at the word level and beyond the word level – and from a variety of perspectives, including not only those which focus on how the vocabulary is internally organized, but also those which deal with the role that lexical units and lexical relations play in the organization of other language levels, particularly in the organization of the discourse. These issues are approached from a variety of perspectives that include not only developments in several disciplines of theoretical and descriptive linguistics, particularly in lexicology, phraseology, word…

Figuras interaccionales y propósito comunicativo en conversaciones coloquiales, entrevistas periodísticas y entrevistas del proyecto PRESEEA

2020

espanolEste trabajo explora la creciente conversacionalizacion de los discursos mediaticos a partir de un analisis contrastivo del genero entrevista frente a dos generos vecinos: la conversacion coloquial y la entrevista sociolinguistica. Para ello, en primer lugar, se comparan los patrones interaccionales de los tres generos mediante una herramienta de visualizacion. Los resultados muestran que la entrevista periodistica es mas cercana a la conversacion que la sociolinguistica. En segundo lugar, se argumenta que algunas de las diferencias estructurales observadas pueden explicarse a partir del proposito comunicativo. Las particularidades del genero conversacion se relacionan con la ausenci…

Fractional-order nonlinear hereditariness of tendons and ligaments of the human knee

2020

In this paper the authors introduce a nonlinear model of fractional-order hereditariness used to capture experimental data obtained on human tendons of the knee. Creep and relaxation data on fibrous tissues have been obtained and fitted with logarithmic relations that correspond to power-laws with nonlinear dependence of the coefficients. The use of a proper nonlinear transform allows one to use Boltzmann superposition in the transformed variables yielding a fractional-order model for the nonlinear material hereditariness. The fundamental relations among the nonlinear creep and relaxation functions have been established, and the results from the equivalence relations have been contrasted wi…

Prognostic and predictive value of primary tumour side in patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer treated with chemotherapy and EGFR…

2017

BACKGROUND: There is increasing evidence that metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is a genetically heterogeneous disease and that tumours arising from different sides of the colon (left versus right) have different clinical outcomes. Furthermore, previous analyses comparing the activity of different classes of targeted agents in patients with KRAS wild-type (wt) or RAS wt mCRC suggest that primary tumour location (side), might be both prognostic and predictive for clinical outcome. METHODS: This retrospective analysis investigated the prognostic and predictive influence of the localization of the primary tumour in patients with unresectable RAS wt mCRC included in six randomized trials (CRY…

Role of Kras Status in Patients with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Receiving First-Line Chemotherapy plus Bevacizumab: A TTD Group Cooperative Study

2012

Background: In the MACRO study, patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) were randomised to first-line treatment with 6 cycles of capecitabine and oxaliplatin (XELOX) plus bevacizumab followed by either single-agent bevacizumab or XELOX plus bevacizumab until disease progression. An additional retrospective analysis was performed to define the prognostic value of tumour KRAS status on progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and response rates. Methodology/Principal Findings: KRAS data (tumour KRAS status and type of mutation) were collected by questionnaire from participating centres that performed KRAS analyses. These data were then cross-referenced with efficacy da…

Clinical spectrum time course in anti jo-1 positive antisynthetase syndrome: Results from an international retrospective multicenter study

2015

Anti Jo-1 antibodies are the main markers of the antisynthetase syndrome (ASSD), an autoimmune disease clinically characterized by the occurrence of arthritis, myositis, and interstitial lung disease (ILD). These manifestations usually co-occur (for practical purpose complete forms) in the same patient, but cases with only 1 or 2 of these findings (for practical purpose incomplete forms) have been described. In incomplete forms, the ex novo occurrence of further manifestations is possible, although with frequencies and timing not still defined. The aim of this international, multicenter, retrospective study was to characterize the clinical time course of anti Jo-1 positive ASSD in a large c…
