Abstract:
This article examines the transformation of the Baye-fall movement (Baye-fallism, henceforth), a particular form of Senegalese Muridism, as it extends into the Senegalese diaspora. In particular, the article explores shifts in understandings of what it means to be a ‘good’ Baye-fall, as Senegalese migrants in Spain become confronted with hostility in their new social context, and as the need for spiritual engagement and community belonging intensifies. Starting with the origins of Baye-fallism as a Sufi heterodoxy in Senegal, the paper then focuses on Senegalese migrants in Lavapiés (Madrid, Spain) and in Granada (Andalusia, Spain). The central argument is that in this diasporic context, adhesion to Baye-fallism becomes more intense, and that the performance of Sufi orthodoxy takes on new meaning, which also informs discussions about being a ‘good’ Baye-fall in Senegal.

Abstract:
The FANFARE (Falls And Near Falls Assessment Research and Evaluation) project has developed a system to fulfill the need for a wearable device to collect data for fall and near-falls analysis. The system consists of a computer and a wireless sensor network to measure, display, and store fall related parameters such as postural activities and heart rate variability. Ease of use and low power are considered in the design. The system was built and tested successfully. Different machine learning algorithms were applied to the stored data for fall and near-fall evaluation. Results indicate that the Naïve Bayes algorithm is the best choice, due to its fast model building and high accuracy in fall detection.

Abstract:
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among the elderly in the United States and throughout the world. Many studies have been done over the last few decades in an attempt to better understand how to prevent falls among the elderly population. Unfortunately, most of these studies are conducted by simulating falls in a laboratory with healthy adults which has been shown to be quite different from a real world fall. This pilot study defines corrective behaviors implemented by the elderly to maintain balance and looks specifically at measures of stability when the hand touch corrective behavior is used. These measures include base of support area, proximity of center of mass to base of support perimeter, time for center of mass to contact base of support perimeter, and jerk of the center of mass of the torso. Initial findings indicate that the hand touch corrective behavior is used to both maintain and regain stability. It is anticipated that, with the evaluation of the remaining trials, a model of fall-initiation of the frail elderly will be developed to provide key biomechanical stability measures for use as a proxy for a fall in laboratory studies, as well as to provide new insights in fall interventions.

Abstract. Since 1857 more than 600 rock falls, rock slides, debris slides, and debris flows have been documented in Yosemite National Park, with rock falls in Yosemite Valley representing the majority of the events. On 26 December 2003, a rock fall originating from west of Glacier Point sent approximately 200 m3 of rock debris down a series of joint-controlled ledges to the floor of Yosemite Valley. The debris impacted talus near the base of Staircase Falls, producing fragments of flying rock that struck occupied cabins in Curry Village. Several years later on 9 June 2007, and again on 26 July 2007, smaller rock falls originated from the same source area. The 26 December 2003 event coincided with a severe winter storm and was likely triggered by precipitation and/or frost wedging, but the 9 June and 26 July 2007 events lack recognizable triggering mechanisms. We investigated the geologic and hydrologic factors contributing to the Staircase Falls rock falls, including bedrock lithology, weathering, joint spacing and orientations, and hydrologic processes affecting slope stability. We improved upon previous geomorphic assessment of rock-fall hazards, based on a shadow angle approach, by using STONE, a three-dimensional rock-fall simulation computer program. STONE produced simulated rock-fall runout patterns similar to the mapped extent of the 2003 and 2007 events, allowing us to simulate potential future rock falls from the Staircase Falls detachment area. Observations of recent rock falls, mapping of rock debris, and simulations of rock fall runouts beneath the Staircase Falls detachment area suggest that rock-fall hazard zones extend farther downslope than the extent previously defined by mapped surface talus deposits.

Abstract:
Researchers tend to agree that falls are, by definition, unintentional and that sensor algorithms (the processes that allows a computer program to identify a fall among data from sensors) perform poorly when attempting to detect falls ‘in the wild’ (a phrase some scientists use to mean ‘in reality’). Algorithm development has been reliant on simulation, i.e. asking actors to throw themselves intentionally to the ground. This is unusual (no one studies faked coughs or headaches) and uninformative (no one can intend the unintentional). Researchers would increase their chances of detecting ‘real’ falls in ‘the real world’ by studying the behaviour of fallers, however, vulnerable, before, during and after the event: the literature on the circumstances of falling is more informative than any number of faked approximations. A complimentary knowledge base (in falls, sensors and/or signals) enables multidisciplinary teams of clinicians, engineers and computer scientists to tackle fall detection and aim for fall prevention. Throughout this paper, I discuss differences between falls, ‘intentional falling’ and simulations, and the balance between simulation and reality in falls research, finally suggesting ways in which researchers can access examples of falls without resorting to fakery.

La priorización de las actividades es muy importante para saber la importancia de ejecutar una actividad de mantenimiento. La metodología del Análisis de Modos y Efectos de Fallo (AMEF) es una herramienta que permite priorizar la atención del mantenimiento para los equipos; esta herramienta en la actualidad se la aplica para determinar el nivel de riesgo de los equipos en base al estudio de las fallas de los equipos, su severidad, probabilidad de ocurrencia y la detectabilidad de la falla. La metodología se aplicó a una máquina de inyección de poliuretano de alta presión; para esto el trabajo se dividió en dos partes, la primera se basó en el Análisis y Determinación del funcionamiento y su contexto operacional dentro de la línea de producción, y la segunda parte se determinaron los modos de falla de los equipos y en base a ellos se determinó en Número de Prioridad de Riesgo de las fallas y sus modos de falla, dándonos como resultado que 7 modos de falla de los 16 analizados, tienen un riesgo potencial de ocurrencia y pueden afectar directamente al desempeño del contexto operacional del equipo, por lo que se establecen actividades de mantenimiento con su respectiva prioridad. Se encontró que 7 de los 16 modos de falla son potenciales causas principales para el fallo funcional del equipo por lo que se deben prevenir. Los principales problemas del equipo son: Cañerías Parcialmente obstruidas; Temperatura inadecuada; No existe suministro de electricidad en base al análisis del Número Prioritario de Riesgo. Se determinaron que las tareas de Inspección y limpieza de cañerías; Calibración de los controles de presión y temperatura; Revisar la alimentación eléctrica y sus parámetros son tareas para evitar fallas funcionales y disminuir en un 42.8% de probabilidad que el equipo falle.

Abstract:
Background: Falling is a major public health concern of elderly people. We aimed to determine if lean mass and spatiotemporal gait parameters could predict the risk of falling in elderly women and also study the relationships between lean mass and gait characteristics. Methods: Twenty-four community women were prospectively recruited (mean age, 72.30 ± 5.31 years). Lean mass was measured using dual-energy fan-beam X-ray absorptiometry. Gait characteristics were assessed using spatiotemporal analysis. Fall risks were assessed using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Falls Efficacy Scale-International. Fall histories were recorded. Appropriate statistical analyses were applied to determine lean mass and gait characteristics in predicting the risk of fall and the associations between lean mass and gait characteristics. Results: There were 14 participants (58.33%) with fall histories. Patients with fall histories had a significantly narrower base of support and lower BBS score. However, only the base of support was significantly associated with fall risk (odds ratio, 0.415; p = 0.022). Lean mass was significantly negatively associated with proportion of swing phase and positively associated with proportions of stance and double-support phases. Conclusion: Fall risk among elderly women can be predicted using base of support, where a narrower base predicts a greater fall risk. Although the lean mass was not related to risk of fall, lean mass is still related to some gait characteristics.

Abstract:
Abstract Objective Falls are physically and financially costly, but may be preventable with targeted intervention. The Minimum Data Set (MDS) is one potential source of information on fall risk factors among nursing home residents, but its limited breadth and relatively infrequent updates may limit its practical utility. Richer, more frequently updated data from electronic medical records (EMRs) may improve ability to identify individuals at highest risk for falls. Methods The authors applied a repeated events survival model to analyze MDS 3.0 and EMR data for 5129 residents in 13 nursing homes within a single large California chain that uses a centralized EMR system from a leading vendor. Estimated regression parameters were used to project resident fall probability. The authors examined the proportion of observed falls within each projected fall risk decile to assess improvements in predictive power from including EMR data. Results In a model incorporating fall risk factors from the MDS only, 28.6% of observed falls occurred among residents in the highest projected risk decile. In an alternative specification incorporating more frequently updated measures for the same risk factors from the EMR data, 32.3% of observed falls occurred among residents in the highest projected risk decile, a 13% increase over the base MDS-only specification. Conclusions Incorporating EMR data improves ability to identify those at highest risk for falls relative to prediction using MDS data alone. These improvements stem chiefly from the greater frequency with which EMR data are updated, with minimal additional gains from availability of additional risk factor variables.

Abstract:
Benefits related to doing martial arts go beyond health-related and constitute very useful life skills. One of them is ability to fall safely. It is an important skill since falls are a common cause of injuries. The aim of the study is knowledge regarding the burden of falls in a population of farmers. This systematic review was prepared according to PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, Springer Link, Web of Science. A total of 21 articles met eligibility criteria. The common general observation was that fall (regardless of type) caused various body injuries in populations of agriculture workers. Fall was the leading cause of injuries in only one population, and the most frequently classified second or third causes among all other listed injuries. People employed in the agriculture sector constitute an occupational group with an increased risk of injury as a result of accidental fall, which may lead to disability or even death (in extreme situations). Safe fall training would be an important addition to traditional fall prophylaxis applied on farms. The authors indicate the limitations of judo as a base of such a program, such as with superficial analysis of this issue in scientific publications. There is a need for a critical and wary approach to recommendations that are limited to prophylaxis of the effects of accidental falls that are founded on judo or other combat sports and martial arts.

Abstract:
SummaryFalls and fall-related injury are common and become more prevalent with increasing age. Risk factors for falling are numerous, synergistic and complex, and require multidisciplinary assessment. The evidence base for intervention strategies continues to improve, but is often limited by the methodological difficulties that are inherent in falls research. The most effective intervention is a multifactorial approach that targets identified risk factors. Multicomponent exercise, either in a group or individually, is one of the most effective components of intervention. Other successful components include home hazard modification and psychotropic medication withdrawal. Primary prevention does not appear to be cost effective, but secondary prevention far outweighs the cost of falls and fall-related injury.

Abstract:
While the importance o f predation in controlling many natural bivalve populations is well established, it is often overlooked in the restoration strategies for depleted populations. Adult bay scallops {Argopecten irradians concentricus) along the U.S. mid-Atlantic coast spawn multiple times per year, typically once in the early summer and again in the early fall. Larvae generally settle on seagrass leaves to avoid benthic predators, but shift to the sediment surface around 20 mm in size when they become less vulnerable to predation. The objectives o f this study were to 1.) Determine proportional survival o f two distinct size classes o f A. irradians in different seasons related to the two naturally occurring cohorts found in this region, 2.) Determine the identity o f key predators o f A. irradians in the Virginia coastal bays. The goal is to incorporate this information into a restoration strategy for a Virginia seaside lagoon system where A. irradians have been absent since the disappearance o f eelgrass in the 1930s. Tethering experiments, conducted in re-established eelgrass during summer and fall o f 2013 and 2014, o f small (~10 mm SH) and large (~32 mm SH) juvenile A. irradians showed significant differences between the two years, likely due to the differences in the predator community. They also showed much higher predation rates in July than in August or October for both 2013 and 2014. Blue crabs are significant predators o f A. irradians and were present only in 2014, affecting survival, especially o f the large size class. Fish predators, such as pinfish, pigfish, striped burrfish, and sheepshead appear to have controlled the survival o f small juvenile A. irradians. Our results generally show greater survival in the fall, thus perhaps focusing on deploying small A. irradians in the fall would increase survival. However, the large differences in survival between 2013 and 2014 point to the importance o f employing an adaptive restoration approach which incorporates real-time abundances o f predators into restoration activities, allowing for the release o f A. irradians at smaller sizes dependent on the composition o f the predator assemblage.

Following a change in the factors that determine landscape form, a transient signal of adjustment propagates through the river network, progressively adjusting channels and hillslopes to the new conditions. When conditions favor incision, the rate and mechanism by which this signal propagates throughout the network determines basin response time. This ultimately influences the growth and stability of mountain ranges and the tempo of sediment delivery to depositional basins. As this incision signal propagates through the river network, its upstream extent is often recognized as a discrete, steep convexity in the channel profile, defined here as a knickpoint. In this thesis, theoretical, numerical, and field-based research techniques are utilized to study the initiation and distribution of knickpoints within fluvial networks. Field observations are derived from the Waipaoa River on the North Island of New Zealand. In the Waipaoa, 236 knickpoints distributed throughout the network define the upstream extent of a large magnitude incision signal initiated -18,000 years ago. These features, frequently located at the confluence between small drainage area tributaries and trunk-streams, are characterized as near-vertical single or multi-step waterfalls.
(cont.) Though flights of trunk-stream strath terraces document a prolonged incision history, the single step knickpoints upstream of tributary junctions suggest that trunk-stream incision can outpace tributary response, producing fluvial hanging valleys. Variations in knickpoint form observed in non-hanging tributaries demonstrate that many factors, both internal and external to the tributary, ultimately determine knickpoint form. We use a two dimensional numerical landscape evolution model (CHILD) to test a suite of bedrock channel incision rules to determine whether instantaneous or prolonged base level fall can trigger erosion thresholds. These experiments reveal that for bedrock channel incision rules where the relationship between slope and erosion rate is not positive and monotonic, incision rate can decrease with increasing slope until the incision rate is less than the background uplift rate. This provides a mechanism for hanging valley formation when over-steepened tributaries cannot incise at rates equal to the incision in the mainstem. This suggests that if trunk-stream incision outpaces tributary response, hanging valleys form, thus limiting the upstream propagation of incision signals and ultimately increasing basin response time.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Douglas Edmonds
Due to their low-lying position near the shoreline, river deltas are vulnerable to fluctuations in relative sea-level (RSL). Moreover, relatively little is known about fluvio-deltaic dynamics during RSL fall because the resulting deposits have low preservation potential. In this paper, I present a field-based study of the Goose River delta, coupled with numerical model simulations, that investigates the fluvio-deltaic response to RSL fall. The Goose River delta is a sandy fjord delta at the mouth of the Goose River located at the western end of Lake Melville, an inlet of the Labrador Sea, Canada and has experienced a RSL fall of 3 to 6 mm/yr in the past 5000 years due to post-glacial isostatic rebound. Aerial images show three abandoned delta lobes and one active lobe, suggesting that avulsions and lobe-switching occurred during RSL fall. Elevation analysis using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) digital elevation model (DEM) data and optically-stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating suggest that a series of downstepping terraced delta lobes formed at the mouth of the Goose River during a period of RSL fall. Similarly, Delft3D model runs show continued avulsions and formation of multiple terraced delta lobes deposited at progressively lower elevations. I show computationally that by decreasing delta lobe widths, deltas may remain aggradational during RSL fall, creating conditions favorable for lobe-switching during RSL fall. Observations from the field and model runs provide a critical link in understanding the geomorphic processes occurring during RSL fall, and in particular show that 1) incision and sediment bypass is not a necessary response to RSL fall and 2) lateral migration of a delta via avulsion can continue to occur with falling sea-level

Mestrado em Ciências da Fala e da Audição
O presente trabalho propõe-se a criar um método de ensino da leitura das sílabas complexas e a avaliar a sua eficácia, comparando a prestação na leitura de dois grupos de crianças do primeiro ano de escolaridade. Após analisar o processo e os requisitos inerentes à leitura foi criado um método de ensino das sílabas complexas com base em estratégias articulatórias e fonológicas, comummente utilizadas na Terapia da Fala. A avaliação da sua eficácia foi realizada através da análise dos erros encontrados na leitura de um dos dois textos lidos pelas crianças. O primeiro texto foi lido antes da aprendizagem das sílabas complexas e o segundo logo após essa aprendizagem. Analisando as diferenças encontradas nas médias dos tipos de erro, concluiu-se que os erros de adição, supressão e inversão são os erros que estão mais relacionados com a introdução das sílabas complexas. Assim, a comparação entre os grupos para a avaliação da eficácia do método de ensino das sílabas complexas com base na Terapia da Fala foi efetuada comparando, apenas, estes três tipos de erro. Os resultados obtidos atestam a eficácia do método criado, sem que, no entanto, este se revele de eficácia superior.
The present work aims to create a teaching method for the reading of complex syllables and to evaluate its efficacy by comparing the scores of two groups of children in the first grade in a reading task. After analyzing the reading process and the necessary conditions for its learning, it was created a method for teaching complex syllables, using articulatory and phonological strategies, usually used in Speech Therapy. The efficacy assessment was made through the analysis of the errors found in one of the two texts read by the children. The first text was read before learning the complex syllables and the second one was read after that. Comparing the differences between the medians of all kinds of errors found in the two texts, we can conclude that the type of errors most related with the introduction of the complex syllables are addition errors, suppression errors and inversion errors. Therefore, the comparison of the groups to evaluate the method efficacy was done by comparing these three types of errors. The results of the statistical analysis reveal that the method based on Speech Therapy strategies is efficient, but wasn’t more efficient than the use of the global method alone.

Doutoramento em Linguística
Motivados pelo propósito central de contribuir para a construção, a longo prazo, de um sistema completo de conversão de texto para fala, baseado em síntese articulatória, desenvolvemos um modelo linguístico para o português europeu (PE), com base no sistema TADA (TAsk Dynamic Application), que visou a obtenção automática da trajectória dos articuladores a partir do texto de entrada. A concretização deste objectivo ditou o desenvolvimento de um conjunto de tarefas, nomeadamente 1) a implementação e avaliação de dois sistemas de silabificação automática e de transcrição fonética, tendo em vista a transformação do texto de entrada num formato adequado ao TADA; 2) a criação de um dicionário gestual para os sons do PE, de modo a que cada fone obtido à saída do conversor grafema-fone pudesse ter correspondência com um conjunto de gestos articulatórios adaptados para o PE; 3) a análise do fenómeno da nasalidade à luz dos princípios dinâmicos da Fonologia Articulatória (FA), com base num estudo articulatório e perceptivo. Os dois algoritmos de silabificação automática implementados e testados fizeram apelo a conhecimentos de natureza fonológica sobre a estrutura da sílaba, sendo o primeiro baseado em transdutores de estados finitos e o segundo uma implementação fiel das propostas de Mateus & d'Andrade (2000). O desempenho destes algoritmos – sobretudo do segundo – mostrou-se similar ao de outros sistemas com as mesmas potencialidades. Quanto à conversão grafema-fone, seguimos uma metodologia baseada em regras de reescrita combinada com uma técnica de aprendizagem automática. Os resultados da avaliação deste sistema motivaram a exploração posterior de outros métodos automáticos, procurando também avaliar o impacto da integração de informação silábica nos sistemas. A descrição dinâmica dos sons do PE, ancorada nos princípios teóricos e metodológicos da FA, baseou-se essencialmente na análise de dados de ressonância magnética, a partir dos quais foram realizadas todas as medições, com vista à obtenção de parâmetros articulatórios quantitativos. Foi tentada uma primeira validação das várias configurações gestuais propostas, através de um pequeno teste perceptual, que permitiu identificar os principais problemas subjacentes à proposta gestual. Este trabalho propiciou, pela primeira vez para o PE, o desenvolvimento de um primeiro sistema de conversão de texto para fala, de base articulatória. A descrição dinâmica das vogais nasais contou, quer com os dados de ressonância magnética, para caracterização dos gestos orais, quer com os dados obtidos através de articulografia electromagnética (EMA), para estudo da dinâmica do velo e da sua relação com os restantes articuladores. Para além disso, foi efectuado um teste perceptivo, usando o TADA e o SAPWindows, para avaliar a sensibilidade dos ouvintes portugueses às variações na altura do velo e alterações na coordenação intergestual. Este estudo serviu de base a uma interpretação abstracta (em termos gestuais) das vogais nasais do PE e permitiu também esclarecer aspectos cruciais relacionados com a sua produção e percepção.
Motivated by the central purpose of contributing for the construction, in the long term, of a complete text-to-speech system based in articulatory synthesis, we develop a linguistic model for European Portuguese (EP), based on TADA system (TAsk Dynamic Application), that aimed at the automatic attainment of the articulators trajectory from the input text. The specification of this purpose determined the development of a set of tasks, namely the 1) implementation and evaluation of two automatic syllabification systems and two grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) conversion systems, in view of the transformation of the input in an appropriate format to the TADA; 2) the creation of a gestural database for the EP sounds, in so that each phone obtained at the output of the g2p system could have correspondence with a set of articulatory gestures adapted for EP; 3) the dynamic analysis of nasality, on the basis of an articulatory and perceptive study. The two automatic syllabification algorithms implemented and tested make appeal to phonological knowledge on the structure of the syllable, being the first one based in finite state transducers and the second one a faithful implementation of Mateus & d'Andrade (2000) proposals. The performance of these algorithms – especially the second - was similar to the one of other systems with the same potentialities. Regarding grapheme-to-phone conversion, we follow a methodology based on manual rules combined with an automatic learning technique. The evaluation results of this system motivated the exploitation of others automatic approaches, finding also to evaluate the impact of the syllabic information integration in the systems. The gestural description of the European Portuguese sounds, anchored on the theoretical and methodological tenets of the Articulatory Phonology, was based essentially on the analysis of magnetic resonance data (MRI), from which all the measurements were carried out, aiming to obtain the quantitative articulatory parameters. The several gestural configurations proposed have been validated, through a small perceptual test, which allowed identifying the main underlying problems of the gestural proposal. This work provided, for the first time to PE, the development of a first articulatory based text-to-speech system. The dynamic description of nasal vowels relied either on the magnetic resonance data, for characterization of the oral gestures, either on the data obtained through electromagnetic articulography (EMA), for the study of the velum dynamic and of its relation with the remaining articulators. Besides that, a perceptive test was performed, using TADA and SAPWindows, to evaluate the sensibility of the Portuguese listeners to the variations in the height of velum and alterations in the intergestural coordination. This study supported an abstract interpretation (in gestural terms) of the EP nasal vowels and allowed also to clarify crucial aspects related with its production and perception.

Studies on Linguistic Politeness urge to investigate the verbal behavior adopted by the individuals whose goal it’s to avoid or reduce possible conflicts in their interactions. Assuming that the majority of research about the theme is restricted as face-to-face interactions, and further more, nowadays, many social relationships are established on interactional virtual environments. We propose to analyze in which way the partakers in a chat room use strategies and pragmatic constraints of linguistic politeness on their interactions and under which purpose they are used. Therefore were selected 23 chats that took place in a public environment of a chat room directed to people over 50 from December (2006) to May (2007).The analyze was constituted by the correlation of analyzes’ models of linguistic politeness presented by Brown and Levinson (1987) and Leech (1983; 2005). The results show that, in spite of the anonymity, the partakers of the chat room build and preserve the identities assembled in the chat room, and in the chat room they establish interactional ties, presenting an intimacy distinguished by: a) the jokey tone of the conversations; b) the use of identity and in-group markers; c) the manifest of sympathy and affection; and d) the concern to reduce the weight and the association to face threaten act (FTA).From these results, we can conclude that the involvement, the intimacy, and the knowledge among the partakers, in and out of virtual environment, are factors that interfere the choice of strategies and pragmatic constraints of linguistic politeness.
Os estudos sobre a polidez lingüística buscam investigar o comportamento verbal adotado pelos indivíduos com a finalidade de evitar ou reduzir possíveis conflitos em suas interações. Considerando que a maioria das pesquisas sobre o tema restringem-se às interações face a face e que, atualmente, muitas relações sociais se estabelecem em ambientes virtuais de interação, propomos analisar de que forma os participantes de uma sala de bate-papo empregam as estratégias e regras pragmáticas de polidez lingüística em suas interações e com que finalidade eles as utilizam. Para tanto, selecionamos 23 conversas realizadas no ambiente público de uma sala de bate-papo direcionada para pessoas com mais de 50 anos, no período de dezembro de 2006 à maio de 2007. A análise foi constituída a partir da congregação dos modelos de análise da polidez lingüística propostos por Brown e Levinson (1987) e Leech (1983; 2005). Os resultados demonstram que, apesar do anonimato, os participantes da sala de bate-papo constroem e preservam as identidades construídas na sala, e nela estabelecem vínculos interacionais, demonstrando uma intimidade, marcada por meio: a) do tom descontraído das conversas; b) do uso de marcadores de identidade e grupo; c) da manifestação de simpatia e afeto; e d) da preocupação em reduzir o peso e associação com um ato ameaçador de face (FTA). A partir destes resultados, podemos concluir que o envolvimento, a intimidade e o conhecimento entre um participante e outro, dentro e fora do ambiente virtual, são fatores que interferem na escolha das estratégias e regras pragmáticas de polidez lingüística.

Abstract:
The neural networks that encompass the basal ganglia (subcortical structure in the human CNS) participate in the control of the body voluntary movements, including those of speech. Therefore, diseases that affect basal ganglia function like Parkinson.s disease (ParkD), Huntington.s disease (HD) and Sydenham chorea (SC) may generate abnormal hypokinetic or hyperkinetic movements, which may consequently influence the motor control of speech. The aim of this study was to understand how the prosodic temporal organization varies among subjects with hypokinetic and hyperkinetic dysarthria in ParkD, in HD, and in SC. We evaluated fifteen subjects with ParkD (with and without medication ON and OFF), fifteen with HD, fifteen with SC, and eighteen in the control group. All the subjects recorded the same text so that it was possible to study the temporal organization with the waveform and the spectrogram. The identification and marking of the pause (according to the syntactic boundaries) were manually made separating the recordings in pauses and articulated sequences. Measures were: total speech time (which is the total speaking time plus the total time of silent pauses), the number of pauses and their average duration, speech rate (number of syllables divided by total speech time), speaking rate (number of syllables divided by total speaking time), total fluency time, and total disfluency time. In the statistical analysis, besides descriptive data, variance analysis (ANOVA), the Bonferoni method of multiple comparisons, the Pearson Correlation Coefficient, the Bootstrap method, and Student.s t-test were used. Our results show that there is a great variability in the group with ParkD, whose patients presented a higher average duration of pauses compared to the control group. ParkD.s speech and speaking rates are a little lower than those of the control group. The HD group also presents slowness in the temporal parameters and so do the subjects with SC, but in a lower degree. All groups preserved the syntactic function of prosody, but in different levels. Regarding to global motor impairment in ascending order are the groups SC, HD, ParkD ON and ParkD OFF. However, there was no correlation between global motor scales and speech temporal parameters. There are variable correlations between the syntactic boundaries and the duration of the pauses in all groups. As a conclusion, we state that the subjects with ParkD, HD and SC show slowness in speech production, maintenance of prosody syntactic function in different levels, and they cannot be differentiated according to the temporal organization of speech neither among themselves nor in comparison to the control group. It seems that basal ganglia disfunction equally affects all clinical groups despite of ethiology.
Os circuitos neuronais que envolvem os núcleos da base (estrutura subcortical do sistema nervoso central humano) participam do controle dos movimentos voluntários do corpo, inclusive os da fala. Com isso, doenças que alteram o funcionamento dos núcleos da base, como doença de Parkinson (DPark), doença de Huntington (DH) e coreia de Sydenham (CS), podem gerar movimentos anormais hipo ou hipercinéticos, o que, consequentemente, pode influenciar o controle motor da fala. O objetivo desta tese consiste em explicitar como a organização temporal da prosódia varia em sujeitos com disartria hipocinética e hipercinética na DPark, na DH e na CS. Avaliaram-se quinze sujeitos com DPark (com e sem medicação ON e OFF), quinze com DH, quinze com CS e dezoito do grupo controle. Todos os indivíduos foram submetidos à gravação de um texto padrão, para estudo da organização temporal com sinal de fala e espectrograma. A identificação e a marcação das pausas (de acordo com as fronteiras sintáticas) foram feitas manualmente, separando as gravações em pausas e sequências articuladas. Também foram medidos: tempo total de fala (TTF, o qual se divide em tempo total de articulação [TTA] e tempo total de pausa [TTP - duração da soma de todas as pausas silenciosas]), número de pausas e duração média delas, velocidade de fala (VF - divisão do número de sílabas pelo TTF), velocidade de articulação (VA - divisão do número de sílabas pelo TTA), tempo total de fluência e tempo total de disfluência. Nas análises estatísticas, além dos dados descritivos, foram utilizados: análise de variância (ANOVA), método de comparações múltiplas de Bonferroni, coeficiente de correlação de Pearson, método Bootstrap e teste t de Student. Os resultados mostraram que há grande variabilidade no grupo com DPark. Os pacientes deste grupo apresentaram maior duração média das pausas em relação aos pacientes do grupo controle. Suas VF e VA são pouco menores que às do grupo controle. O grupo com DH também apresenta lentificação nos parâmetros temporais, assim como os sujeitos com CS. Estes últimos, porém, em menor grau. Em relação à função sintática da prosódia, todos os grupos mostraram preservação, em maior ou menor grau. Quanto ao comprometimento motor global, por ordem crescente, estão os grupos CS, DH, DPark ON e DPark OFF. No entanto, não houve correlação entre as escalas de avaliação motora global e os parâmetros temporais de fala. Existem correlações variáveis entre as fronteiras sintáticas e as durações das pausas em todos os grupos. Conclui-se que os sujeitos com DPark, DH e CS manifestam lentificação na produção da fala e preservação da função sintática da prosódia em maior ou menor grau. Também não podem ser diferenciados pela organização temporal da fala, nem entre si nem em relação ao grupo controle. Ao que parece a disfunção dos núcleos da base afeta igualmente todos os grupos clínicos, apesar da etiologia.

Abstract:
Ingeniero Civil Mecánico
Dentro del campo de la ingeniería mecánica, una de las áreas que más crecimiento ha mostrado en los últimos años es la de la gestión de activos físicos y confiabilidad. Junto con la capacidad de construir máquinas y sistemas más complejos, el problema de la detección temprana de fallas en elementos mecánicos se vuelve de suma importancia. Al mismo tiempo, el incremento en la disponibilidad de tecnología sensitoria ha dado a los ingenieros la capacidad de medir una gran cantidad de variables operacionales, como por ejemplo presión, temperatura o emisiones acústicas, a frecuencias de muestreo altísimas. Es ese aspecto, se vuelve un desafío en sí mismo el poder procesar esa cantidad de datos de una manera eficiente, con tal de extrar información útil a partir de ellos. Una metodología para enfrentar este problema es el desarrollo de técnicas de reducción de dimensionalidad, las cuales, si son implementadas de forma correcta, pueden generar una mejor representación de los datos con el fin de mejorar el diagnóstico posterior de los modos de falla presentes. La motivación principal de este trabajo de título es la necesidad de desarrollar modelos confiables para el diagnóstico de modos de falla en elementos mecánicos utilizando técnicas de Aprendizaje de Máquinas. Estos modelos pueden resultar en grandes beneficios para los sectores industriales, tanto en términos de ahorros monetarios como seguridad operacional. El principal objetivo de esta tesis es desarrollar modelos para el diagnóstico de fallas en elementos mecánicos basados en una reducción de dimensionalidad usando un Auto Encoder Variacional (VAE), y luego evaluar y comparar los resultados obtenidos con un modelo similar que usa Análisis de Componentes Principales (PCA) como método de reducción de dimensionalidad y un tercer modelo que no genera una reducción. La metodología usada para este trabajo consiste principalmente de cinco etapas. Primero, una revisión del estado del arte respecto a metodologías existentes para el diagnóstico de fallas es desarrollada. Luego, la adquisición y preprocesamiento de datos operacionales que serán utilizados para entrenar y evaluar los modelos desarrollados. Tercero, el modelo que usa PCA y el modelo que no realiza reducción de dimensionalidad es implementado. Cuarto, el modelo que utiliza VAE es desarrollado e implementado. Por último, el modelo que usa VAE es comparado con los otros dos modelos para extraer conclusiones sobre su aplicabilidad. La principal conclusión de este trabajo es que el modelo que utiliza VAE es mejor en el diagnóstico de modos de falla que el que utiliza PCA para situaciones donde la cantidad de datos etiquetados es escasa, o para los casos cuando una reducción de dimensionalidad muy drástica es requerida. Tambien, el modelo que utiliza VAE casi siempre presenta mejores resultados que el modelo que no genera reducción en los datos, mostrando la importancia de reducir la dimensionalidad de los datos previo a una operación de diagnóstico o clasificación.

Abstract:
The transcripts of the 55 dispatches written by Francesco Vendramin, the last Venetian bailo of Constantinople between 1796 and 1797, appear very important to the eye of the historian. Even though they were written in Constantinople, they reflect the hardships of the political climate that the fall of the Veneta Repubblica and the establishment of the Municipalità Provvisoria brought to Venice.Moreover, they provide a unique insight into the bailo house in Constantinople. Vendramin had to explain the functioning of the bailaggio and the necessity of the diplomatic office to maintain a decorum of credibility for the State (both the Repubblica and the Municipalità). This needed to be clarified to the new rulers, who were mostly bourgeois and not experts in political issues, especially issues of an international nature, while the old rulers, the august senators, have been experts for decades in both internal and external political affairs of the Republic.The first 27 dispatches were written when the Veneta Repubblica was still alive. The remaining 28 were written after its fall (12th May 1797), when Vendramin had no official role. He was accredited with the Porta Ottomana, as the Venetian delegate of the Doge, but he never received any formal task by the Municipalità. Nevertheless the Ottoman government continued to consider Vendramin as an ambassador, not knowing how to act otherwise.The first collection of dispatches again proposes, with proper adjustments to the new situation, the schemes and the themes that characterize the Venetian-Ottoman relationship in the modern age. The second group is full of information on the Venetian colony in the Empire. As a consequence, it gives information on the functioning of the consulates and on the personal licenses given to merchants and vendors. Moreover, the figure of the French ambassador du Bayet appears strong. He stands as a supporter of many choices in the name of an effective French supremacy on Venice, that in Constantinople is shown without the shield of the Municipalità.

Abstract:
Professors, Taken As a group, are far from perfect. They can be petty, foolish, venal, lazy, and quarrelsome. Nevertheless, at its best, the university is a remarkable institution. It is a place where ideas are taken seriously; where notions that are taken as givens elsewhere are problematized; where what has seemed to be reality can be bent and reshaped by the power of the mind. The university is also a vitally important social institution. Chief Justice Warren, quoted in chapter 2, said American society would “stagnate and die” without free scholarly inquiry. In truth, society would not die, but it would become more stagnant without the philosophical and scientific concepts that are conceived and debated on university campuses. In the sciences, university laboratories continue to be a source of ideas that promise not only to improve established technologies but, more important, to spark the development of new technologies. This is why the Bayh-Dole Act and its encouragement of patent thickets and an anticommons in the scientific realm is potentially so destructive. In the humanities, the university is one of the few institutions to encourage and incubate new visions and modes of thought. Where else are smart people paid primarily to think and rewarded for thinking things that haven’t been thought before? The university, moreover, is a bastion of relatively free expression and, hence, one of the few places where new ideas can be discussed and sharpened. The old left, new left, neocons, and neoliberals of recent years all had their roots in academia. Political impulses that changed American life, including the “new politics movement,” the peace movement, civil rights movement, feminist movement, gay rights movement, environmental movement, the conservative legal movement, and a host of others were nurtured, if not launched, on university campuses. And why not? The university is a natural center of ideological ferment and dissent. The recipe is a simple one. simple one. Take large numbers of young people, add a few iconoclastic faculty members, liberally sprinkle with new ideas, place into a Bohemian culture, and half bake.

This chapter looks at the fall of Manerplaw from the perspective of Naw Sheera. At this time, Karen society was being split apart after decades of peace when Buddhist and Christian Karens came into conflict. The Burmese army used these tensions to their advantage, eventually forcing Naw Sheera to evacuate with her family, except for Saw Ralph, who was at the time at another Karen National Union base. This chapter details Naw Sheera's harrowing experiences in fleeing from the conflict alongside her fellow villages. They later received the support of international bodies such as the United Nations and the International Organization of Migration.

Abstract:
Falls are a significant health concern among older adults. The rate of falls increases with age [1], and often leads to fall-related injuries such as fractures and head injuries. These lead to loss of independence, morbidity and fear of falling [2]. There are many strategies used to prevent falls, including those used to regain balance following a slip or trip. One such balance recovery maneuver is the step response, which involves respositioning the body’s base of support to recapture its moving center of mass [3]. Age-related performance declines in the step response may contribute to fall risk, especially during the step response landing phase where biomechanical strength requirements are largest [4]. Such age-related declines likely manifest themselves as alterations in lower extremity joint dynamics. While these effects are likely present in all lower extremity joints (hips, knees, and ankles), the purpose of this preliminary study was to investigate age effects in stepping leg ankle dynamics during a balance-restoring step response.

Full text
Abstract:
Discussions of extremist ideologies naturally focus on how in-groups criticize and attack out-groups. But many important extremist ideological texts are disproportionately focused criticizing their own in-group. This research report will use linkage-based analysis to examine Siege, a White nationalist tract that has played an important role shaping modern neo-Nazi movements, including such violent organizations as Atomwaffen Division and The Base. While Siege strongly attacks out-groups, including Jewish and Black people, the book is overwhelmingly a critique of how the White people of its in-group fall short of Nazi ideals. Siege’s central proposition—that the White in-group is disappointing, deeply corrupt, and complacent—shapes its argument for an “accelerationist” strategy to hasten the collapse of society in order to build something entirely new. Finally, this report briefly reviews comparable extremist texts from other movements to draw insights about how in-group critiques shape extremist strategies. These insights offer policymakers and law enforcement tools to anticipate and counter violent extremist strategies. They also highlight less-obvious avenues for potential counter-extremist interventions and messaging campaigns.

How did Washington, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, fail to protect U.S. firms in this strategic technology and allow a geopolitical competitor to take a leadership position in a national security relevant critical infrastructure such as telecommunications? This policy brief highlights the characteristics of 5G development that China leveraged, exploited, and supported to take the lead in this key technology. The Huawei case study is in some ways the canary in the coal mine for emerging technologies and an illustration of what can happen to U.S. competitiveness when China’s companies do not have to base decisions on market forces.
