Arabismi di ambito agricolo e alimentare in Sicilia e nel Mediterraneo
2017
L’immagine del Mediterraneo come luogo di migrazioni, incontri e attraversamenti culturali pluridirezionali è nelle parole di Ferdinand Braudel quando lo definisce «non un mare, ma un susseguirsi di mari. Non una civiltà, ma una serie di civiltà accatastate le une sulle altre». Ma la complessità “disegnata” da Braudel si mostra ancora più intricata quando si guarda alla lingua con le sue forti dinamiche variabili. Come ha più volte osservato Giovanni Ruffino, per il linguista può essere utile adottare la formula «lingue circolari/lingue marginali» o, ancora meglio, la formula «correnti marginali e correnti circolari di lingua e cultura», per riferirsi a una molteplicità di condizioni lingui…
Pilna teikuma definīciju analīze 'Kobilda' vārdnīcās
2021
Šajā bakalaura darbā tiek pētītas pilna teikuma definīcijas un to īpatnības KOBILDA vārdnīcās. KOBILDA pilna teikuma definēšanas stils kļuva par pavērsienu vārdnīcu pasaulē, piedāvājot pilnīgi jaunu pieeju vārdnīcu rakstīšanai. Tādējādi bakalaura darbā ir iekļauti secinājumi, kas atspoguļo lietotāju attieksmi pret KOBILDA definīciju. Darba empīriskā pētījuma metode ir gadījumu izpēte, datu vākšanas tehnika – aptaujas anketēšana, kas ir analizēta no kvalitatīvā un kvantitatīvā viedokļa. Analīze atklāj, ka pilna teikuma definīcijas nav priekšroka salīdzinājumā ar citiem definīciju veidiem, jo lielākā daļa respondentu dod priekšroku tradicionālākiem definēšanas stiliem. Turklāt analīze rāda, k…
Antecedents of and their effect on trust in online word-of-mouth : case Finnish discussion forums
2011
The growing importance of digital marketing communications and digital marketing channels has raised challenges in understanding this new environment and consumers’ action within it. Objective of this study was to explore the dynamics of online word-of-mouth and consumers’ trust formation towards it. Literature review offers a comprehensive view to trust in its contradictory nature, to the unique characteristics of online word-of-mouth. Research was explanatory and causal, trying to find relationships between variables derived from previous studies and theory. Quantitative method was employed to measure following latent variables: Trustworthiness of a community, website quality, accuracy, r…
Measuring nuclear reaction cross sections to extract information on neutrinoless double beta decay
2017
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0v\b{eta}\b{eta}) is considered the best potential resource to access the absolute neutrino mass scale. Moreover, if observed, it will signal that neutrinos are their own anti-particles (Majorana particles). Presently, this physics case is one of the most important research "beyond Standard Model" and might guide the way towards a Grand Unified Theory of fundamental interactions. Since the 0v\b{eta}\b{eta} decay process involves nuclei, its analysis necessarily implies nuclear structure issues. In the NURE project, supported by a Starting Grant of the European Research Council (ERC), nuclear reactions of double charge-exchange (DCE) are used as a tool to extr…
Statistical properties of general Markov dynamical sources: applications to information theory
2004
In \textitDynamical sources in information theory: fundamental intervals and word prefixes, B. Vallée studies statistical properties of words generated by dynamical sources. This is done using generalized Ruelle operators. The aim of this article is to generalize sources for which the results hold. First, we avoid the use of Grotendieck theory and Fredholm determinants, this allows dynamical sources that cannot be extended to a complex disk or that are not analytic. Second, we consider Markov sources: the language generated by the source over an alphabet \textbfM is not necessarily \textbfM^*.
VEBO: Validation of E-R diagrams through ontologies and WordNet
2012
In the semantic web vision, ontologies are building blocks for providing applications with a high level description of the operating environment in support of interoperability and semantic capabilities. The importance of ontologies in this respect is clearly stated in many works. Another crucial issue to increase the semantic aspect of web is to enrich the level of expressivity of database related data. Nowadays, databases are the primary source of information for dynamical web sites. The linguistic data used to build the database structure could be relevant for extracting meaningful information. In most cases, this type of information is not used for information retrieval. The work present…
Optimizing the Integration Area and Performance of VLIW Architectures by Hardware/Software Co-design
2021
The cost and the performance are major concerns that the designers of embedded processors shall take into account, especially for market considerations. In order to reduce the cost, embedded systems rely on simple hardware architectures like VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) processors and they look for compiler support. This paper aims at developing a design space explorer of VLIW architectures from different perspectives like processing performance and integration area. A multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) was used to find the optimum hardware configuration of an embedded system and the optimization rules applied by compiler on the benchmarks code. The first step consisted in represen…
Early literacy skills in Latvian preschool children with specific language impairment
2014
The present study explores differences in early literacy skills of Latvian preschool children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) compared to children from general population. The participants were 21 children with diagnosis of Specific developmental disorders of speech and language (F80; ICD-10) and 21 children as matched control group (in each group: mean age=79 months, 88% boys). Both samples were selected from the adaptation and standardization study of Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS Next) in Latvia (Good & Kaminski et al., 2011; Latvian version, Rascevska et al., 2013a). The results show significant differences between two groups in DIBELS Next composite …
Automātiska teksta konspektēšana izmantojot jēdzientelpu
2016
Šobrīd pasaulē ir vērojams milzīgs informācijas daudzuma pieaugums un ir arvien grūtāk iepazīties ar šo informāciju. Automātiskas teksta konspektēšanas mērķis ir spēt pārveidot lielu tekstuālas informācijas daudzumu īsākā formātā, kurš spēj saglabāt oriģinālā teksta svarīgāko informāciju. Viena no metodēm kā automātiski konspektēt tekstu ir izvēlēties svarīgākos teikumus no teksta. Mērķis ir izvēlēties teikumus tā, lai tajos esošā informācija savstarpēji nepārklājas, kā arī nosedz pietiekamu daļu no konspektējamā teksta. Lai to izdarītu ir jāsalīdzina teikumu ietvertās informācijas līdzīgums. Jēdzientelpa ir moderns rīks, ar kura palīdzību var noteikt vārdu nozīmi un līdzību ar citiem vārdi…
Auditory Emotion Word Primes Influence Emotional Face Categorization in Children and Adults, but Not Vice Versa
2018
In order to assess how the perception of audible speech and facial expressions influence one another for the perception of emotions, and how this influence might change over the course of development, we conducted two cross-modal priming experiments with three age groups of children (6-, 9-, and 12-years old), as well as college-aged adults. In Experiment 1, 74 children and 24 adult participants were tasked with categorizing photographs of emotional faces as positive or negative as quickly as possible after being primed with emotion words presented via audio in valence-congruent and valence-incongruent trials. In Experiment 2, 67 children and 24 adult participants carried out a similar cate…
