Full textAbstract:
Dans cette thèse, nous abordons la réalisation d’un outil innovant d’aide à la traduction anglais/arabe pour répondre au besoin croissant en termes d’outils en ligne d’aide à la traduction centrés sur la langue arabe. Cet outil combine des dictionnaires adaptés aux spécificités de la langue arabe et un concordancier bilingue issu des corpus parallèles. Compte tenu de sa nature agglutinante et non voyellée, le mot arabe nécessite un traitement spécifique. C’est pourquoi, et pour construire nos ressources lexicales, nous nous sommes basés sur l’analyseur morphologique de Buckwalter qui, d’une part, permet une analyse morphologique en tenant compte de la composition complexe du mot arabe (proclitique, préfixe, radical, suffixe, enclitique), et qui, d’autre part, fournit des ressources traductionnelles permettant une réadaptation au sein d’un système de traduction. Par ailleurs, cet analyseur morphologique est compatible avec l’approche définie autour de la base de données DIINAR (DIctionnaire Informatisé de l’Arabe), qui a été construite, entre autres, par des membres de notre équipe de recherche. Pour répondre à la problématique du contexte dans la traduction, un concordancier bilingue a été développé à partir des corpus parallèles Ces derniers représentent une ressource linguistique très intéressante et ayant des usages multiples, en l’occurrence l’aide à la traduction. Nous avons donc étudié de près ces corpus, leurs méthodes d’alignement, et nous avons proposé une approche mixte qui améliore significativement la qualité d’alignement sous-phrastique des corpus parallèles anglais-arabes. Plusieurs technologies informatiques ont été utilisées pour la mise en œuvre de cet outil d’aide à la traduction qui est disponible en ligne (tarjamaan.com), et qui permet à l’utilisateur de chercher la traduction de millions de mots et d’expressions tout en visualisant leurs contextes originaux. Une évaluation de cet outil a été faite en vue de son optimisation et de son élargissement pour prendre en charge d’autres paires de langues<br>We create an innovative English/Arabic translation aid tool to meet the growing need for online translation tools centered on the Arabic language. This tool combines dictionaries appropriate to the specificities of the Arabic language and a bilingual concordancer derived from parallel corpora. Given its agglutinative and unvoweled nature, Arabic words require specific treatment. For this reason, and to construct our dictionary resources, we base on Buckwalter's morphological analyzer which, on the one hand, allows a morphological analysis taking into account the complex composition of the Arabic word (proclitic, prefix, stem, suffix, enclitic), and on the other hand, provides translational resources enabling rehabilitation in a translation system. Furthermore, this morphological analyzer is compatible with the approach defined around the DIINAR database (DIctionnaire Informatisé de l’Arabe - Computerized Dictionary for Arabic), which was constructed, among others, by members of our research team. In response to the contextual issue in translation, a bilingual concordancer was developed from parallel corpora. The latter represent a novel linguistic resource with multiple uses, in this case aid for translation. We therefore closely analyse these corpora, their alignment methods, and we proposed a mixed approach that significantly improves the quality of sub-sentential alignment of English-Arabic corpora. Several technologies have been used for the implementation of this translation aid tool which have been made available online (tarjamaan.com) and which allow the user to search the translation of millions of words and expressions while visualizing their original contexts. An evaluation of this tool has been made with a view to its optimization and its enlargement to support other language pairs

Full textAbstract:
La these porte sur un volet de la lexicographie hebraique biblique : la concordance. Son objet est double : a) presenter une synthese des aspects historiques et philologiques de la lexicographie hebraique, ses sources et ses premieres oeuvres. B) ouvrir une nouvelle page a la miere des methodes de traitement automatique des textes bibliques; et dans la perspective de l'elaboration d'une concordance automatique de la version massoretique, tenter une conciliation entre quelques theses de la linguistique et certaines regles de la philologie classique. La these est organisee en trois articulations (chap. I a iv; v a x; xi a xiv) et un volume de supplements. La premiere articulation presente trois aspects : les rapports de la massorah a la lexicographie, l'influence de certaines litteratures sur la lexicographie, enfin une description des premieres oeuvres de la lexicographie hebraique, en milieu rabbanite, qaraite, samaritain et chretien. La seconde procede a l'analyse lexicographique des concordances, leurs origines et leur developpement a travers huit siecles; depuis hugues de saint cher jusqu'a celles du siracide et des textes de qumran : soit environ 50 titres. Une synthese des methodes clot cette partie. La 3eme est batie sur la concordance automatique de la bible. . .<br>This work deals with an aspect of the biblical hebraic lexicography : the concordance. Its has a double aim : a) to present a synthsis of the historical & philological aspect of the hebraic lexicography, its sources & first publications. B) to "open a new page" thanks to the methods of automatic data processing of the biblical texts, & in view of the creation of an automatic concordance of the massoretic version, to try & conciliate some linguistic thesis with certain rules of classical philology. The thesis is organised in three parts together with a volume of supplements. The first part presents the linkes between massorah & lexicography, the influence of certain literatures on lexicography; it ends by describing the early studies about hebrew lexicography in rabbinical, caraite, samaritan & christian environments. The second part deals with the lexicographical analysis of the concordances, their origines & development through eight centuries : from hugues de saint cher up to siracide & the qumran texts, which means about 50 titles; a synthesis of the different methods concludes that part. The third part is founded of the automatic concordance of the bible. . .

Full textAbstract:
La concordance est un moyen d'explorer un texte. Cet outil fournit une liste alphabetique de mots avec leur contexte. La plus ancienne concordance connue apparait au debut du 13e siecle. A la fin du 20e siecle la concordance demeure plus que jamais vivante. D'ou lui vient cette longevite? ce vieil outil a toujours su s'adapter et se moderniser pour repondre aux besoins de ses utilisateurs. Les premiers de ceux-ci avaient en commun leur interet pour l'etude approfondie de la bible qu'ils la lisent en latin, grec ou hebreu. C'est pourquoi des concordances ont ete etablies dans ces trois langues. La concordance reste pendant longtemps un outil attache exclusivement a la bible. Il faut attendre la fin du 18e siecle pour qu'i soit egalement utilise pour d'autres textes que les ecritures. Nous avons voulu montrer pourquoi les concordances etaient apparues, a quels besoins elles repondaient a l'origine, et quelle avait ete leur evolution. Depuis le 13e siecle, des hommes se sont atteles a ce long et fastidieux travail, d'abord "a la main", puis aides par l'apparition de l'imprimerie, et enfin par celle de la machine. Cependant, ils ont toujours du faire face aux memes problemes. Les progres technologiques ont impose l'usage du micro-ordinateur. Celui-ci a permis de faire evoluer la facon d'aborder les concordances. On ne s'interesse plus desormais a la consultation de longues listes de mots et de contextes, mais on privilegie l'etude d'une forme et de ses liens avec son voisinage. C'est ce que nous presentons avec le logiciel saint chef. Les logiciels de concordance peuvent encore a l'avenir etre ameliores pour rendre leur utilisation plus conviviale et plus souple, mais surtout il parait interessant d'orienter les travaux futures vers la construction de tableaux de concordances, non plus de "polygrammes" mais de formes reconnues par leur categorie grammaticale<br>The concordance is a means of exploring a text. This tool provides an alphabetical list of words with their context. The oldest known concordance appears at the beginning of the 13th century. At the end of the 20th century, the concordance remains more alive than ever. Where does its longevity comes from? this long-established tool has always been able to adapt itself and to modernize itself in order to meet the needs of its users. The first of these had in common an interest in the thorough study of the bible which they read either in latin, greek or in hebrew. That is why the concordances were set up in these languages and remained for a long time a tool exclusively linked to the bible. One has to wait until the end of the 18th century for it to be used for other texts besides the scriptures. We have trie d to show why the concordances came to light, what needs the met originally and how they evolved. Since the 13th century , people have been working away at this long and tedious undertaking, first "by hand", then helped by the arrival of of printing and finally by that of the machine. However they always had to face the same problems. Technological progess have imposed the use of the computer which enabled the development of the way the concordance were to be tackled. From now on, people are no longer interested in consulting long lists of words and theirs contexts, but it is the study of the forms and its links with its environment which is of interest. That is what is set out with the software "saint chef". The concordance software can be further improved in the future in order to make them more user-friendly and more flexible

Rushworth, William. "Virtual knot homology and concordance." Thesis, Durham University, 2018. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/12652/.
Full textAbstract:
We construct and investigate the properties of a new extension of Khovanov homology to virtual links, known as doubled Khovanov homology. We describe a perturbation of doubled Khovanov homology, analogous to Lee homology, and produce a doubled Rasmussen invariant; we use it obtain a number of results regarding virtual knot and link concordance. For instance, we demonstrate that the doubled Rasmussen invariant can obstruct the existance of a concordance between a virtual knot and a classical knot (i.e. a knot in the three-sphere ). Kawamura and independently Lobb defned easily-computable bounds on the Rasmussen invariant of classical knots; we generalise these bounds to both the doubled Rasmussen invariant and to a distinct concordance invariant known as the virtual Rasmussen invariant, due to Dye, Kaestner, and Kaufman. We use the new bounds to compute or estimate the slice genus of all virtual knots of 4 classical crossings or less. Finally, we use doubled Khovanov homology as a framework to construct a homology theory of links in thickened surfaces (objects closely related to, but distinct from, virtual links). This homology theory of links in thickened surfaces feeds back to the study of virtual knot concordance, as we are able to use it to investigate a refnement of the notion of sliceness of virtual knots.

Different emotions and behaviors were examined in this study: Emotional Instability. Physicaland Verbal Aggression, and Prosocial Behavior. First of all, we analyzed the correlation betweenratings from different sources (children or teachers). Cultural differences were also discussedwith regards to a sample of 50 children and adolescents, 25 Peruvians and 25 Spanish.Data showed non-significan! differences in Aggressiveness between children and teachers' ratings.Nevertheless, the correlation is higher between Peruvian children and teachers than betweenSpanish ones. On the other hand, Peruvian teenagers showed higher levels of EmotionalInstability whereas the Spanish got higher average ratings in Prosocial Behavior and Aggressiveness.These data could be due to cultural differences.<br>En este trabajo se estudian distintas emociones y comportamientos: Inestabilidad Emocional, Agresividad Física y Verbal, y Conducta Prosocial. En primer lugar, se analizan las correlaciones entre las puntuaciones pertenecientes a las distintas fuentes informantes (jóvenes y profesores). Se comparan también las diferencias entre distintas culturas (española y peruana). La muestra está compuesta por 50 niños y adolescentes; 25 peruanos y 25 españoles. Los datos muestran que, en Agresividad, no hay diferencias significativas entre las puntuaciones de los jóvenes y los maestros. Sin embargo, aparece una mayor correlación entre jóvenes y profesores peruanos que entre jóvenes y profesores españoles. Por otro lado, los adolescentes peruanos tienen niveles más elevados en Inestabilidad Emocional, mientras que los españoles alcanzan puntuaciones medias más altas en Conducta Prosocial y Agresividad. Estas diferencias entre los grupos pueden estar motivadas por factores culturales.

Let Knots be the abelian monoid of isotopy classes of knots S1 ⊂ S3 under connected sum, and let C be the topological knot concordance group of knots modulo slice knots. Cochran-Orr-Teichner [COT03] defined a filtration of C: C ⊃ F(0) ⊃ F(0.5) ⊃ F(1) ⊃ F(1.5) ⊃ F(2) ⊃ . . .The quotient C/F(0.5) is isomorphic to Levine’s algebraic concordance group AC1 [Lev69]; F(0.5) is the algebraically slice knots. The quotient C/F(1.5) contains all metabelian concordance obstructions. The Cochran-Orr-Teichner (1.5)-level two stage obstructions map the concordance class of a knot to a pointed set (COT (C/1.5),U). We define an abelian monoid of chain complexes P, with a monoid homomorphism Knots → P. We then define an algebraic concordance equivalence relation on P and therefore a group AC2 := P/ ~, our second order algebraic knot concordance group. The results of this thesis can be summarised in the following diagram: . That is, we define a group homomorphism C → AC2 which factors through C/F(1.5). We can extract the two stage Cochran-Orr-Teichner obstruction theory from AC2: the dotted arrows are morphisms of pointed sets. Our second order algebraic knot concordance group AC2 is a single stage obstruction group.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis develops some general calculational techniques for finding the orders of knots in the topological concordance group C . The techniques currently available in the literature are either too theoretical, applying to only a small number of knots, or are designed to only deal with a specific knot. The thesis builds on the results of Herald, Kirk and Livingston [HKL10] and Tamulis [Tam02] to give a series of criteria, using twisted Alexander polynomials, for determining whether a knot is of infinite order in C. There are two immediate applications of these theorems. The first is to give the structure of the subgroups of the concordance group C and the algebraic concordance group G generated by the prime knots of 9 or fewer crossings. This should be of practical value to the knot-theoretic community, but more importantly it provides interesting examples of phenomena both in the algebraic and geometric concordance groups. The second application is to find the concordance orders of all prime knots with up to 12 crossings. At the time of writing of this thesis, there are 325 such knots listed as having unknown concordance order. The thesis includes the computation of the orders of all except two of these. In addition to using twisted Alexander polynomials to determine the concordance order of a knot, a theorem of Cochran, Orr and Teichner [COT03] is applied to prove that the n-twisted doubles of the unknot are not slice for n ≠ 0,2. This technique involves analysing the `second-order' invariants of a knot; that is, slice invariants (in this case, signatures) of a set of metabolising curves on a Seifert surface for the knot. The thesis extends the result to provide a set of criteria for the n-twisted double of a general knot K to be slice; that is, of order 0 in C. The structure of the knot concordance group continues to remain a mystery, but the thesis provides a new angle for attacking problems in this field and it provides new evidence for long-standing conjectures.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents the results of an experiment into the automatic selection of concordance lines from very large corpora. Corpora now exist which are in excess of 100 million words in size, but the increase in size of corpora brings with it certain problems. These problems are discussed in the light of information obtained from professional corpus users and the continuing centrality of the concordance as the main means of interpreting the contents of the corpus is highlighted. A possible means of overcoming the problems associated with the use of large corpora is presented. This solution is based upon software which was designed for the purposes of textual abridgement, this being carried out via an automatic analysis of lexico-cohesive bonds within the text. An analogy is drawn between conventional text and concordances; this analogy is then further explored by processing sets of concordance lines with the modified abridgement software. In order to determine the success of the approach in identifying concordance lines which illustrate key features of the node word, an evaluation exercise is carried out, involving expert corpus users as respondents.

Full textAbstract:
A measure of concordance, $\kappa$, is of polynomial type if and only if $\kappa (tA+(1-t)B)$ is a polynomial in $t$ where $A$ and $B$ are 2-copulas. The degree of such a type of measure of concordance is simply the highest degree of the polynomial associated with $\kappa$. In previous work [2], [3], properties of measures of concordance preserving convex sums (equivalently measures of concordance of polynomial type degree one) were established; however, a characterization was not made. Here a characterization is made using approximations involving doubly stochastic matrices. Other representations are provided from this characterization leading naturally to two interpretations of degree one measures of concordance. The existence of a family of measures of concordance of polynomial type having higher degree generated by a certain family of Borel measures on $(0,1)^{2n}$ is also shown. The representation of this family immediately leads to a probabilistic interpretation for all finite measures in $d_n$. Also, higher degree analogs of commonly known degree one measures of concordance are given as examples. For the degree 2 case in particular, we see there is no finite measure in $d_2$ generating Kendall's tau. Finally, another family of measures of concordance is given containing those generated by finite measures in $d_2$ as well as Kendall's tau.<br>Ph.D.<br>Department of Mathematics<br>Arts and Sciences<br>Mathematics

Fondee sur une approche realiste de l'oeuvre d'arthur rimbaud, notre recherche, intitulee + rimbaud rendu a la terre et a son siecle ; (410 pages), s'attache moins aux textes poetiques eux-memes qu'aux deux cent-neuf lettres qui, de 1870 a 1891, composent ce que nous connaissons de sa correspondance. Partant de la presentation analytique globale de cette correspondance, elle examine ensuite un certain nombre de themes (revolte, mouvement, esprit positif, commercant) choisis pour leur aptitude a reveler le visage encore imparfaitement connu d'un rimbaud engage dans les evenements de la seconde moitie du xixe siecle (guerre franco-prussienne, commune de paris, expansion coloniale) et subissant l'influence des idees dominantes de son temps (croyance dans les vertus de la science positive et de la technique, volonte de maitrise du monde). La correspondance permet d'embrasser au fil des lettres les evenements cardinaux de la vie de rimbaud, sur lesquels elle offre un temoignage vivant et direct, quoique parfois lacunaire; outre les eclairages qu'elle jette sur la personnalite complexe du poete devenu explorateur et negociant, elle constitue un revelateur de la societe etrangere dans laquelle celui-ci evolue, montrant pourquoi et comment, en matiere sociale, politique ou economique, le poete des illuminations tente de se faire geographe ou ethnologue.

Starting with a global analytic presentation of that correspondence, this study examines a certain number of themes (revolt, movement, positivism, merchant, etc. ). This study investigates a rimbaud, until now unknown, engaged in the events of the second half of the 19th century (franco-prussian war, paris commune, colonial expansion), and the influence upon him of the dominant ideas of his time (the belief in the truth of positivistic science and technique, and the desire of world conquest). This correspondence permits us to understand from each letter the cardinal events of rimbaud's life. Offering direct and vivid evidence, illuminating for us the complex personality of the poet as an explorer and merchant; revealing the foreign society in which rimbaud had evolved; showing how and why through social, political and economic matters the poet of + illuminations ; strived to be a geographer or ethnographer.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Begreppen ”compliance, adherence och concordance” används inom många delar av omvårdnadsforskningen. Dessa begrepp används frekvent inom det njurmedicinska forskningsfältet eftersom njurmedicin är ett område med komplexa behandlingar som ställer stora krav på både vårdpersonal och patienter. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva vad dessa begrepp egentligen betyder och hur de används. För att uppnå dessa mål har artiklar sökts i flera databaser och därefter noga lästs igenom och analyserats metodiskt. Resultatet visar att det saknas entydiga definitioner av begreppen. Dessutom råder det en viss begreppsförvirring då man i vissa studier använder begreppen som synonymer trots att de enligt de flesta definitioner inte är det. Sammantaget gör detta att det blir svårvärderat hur man skall använda resultaten i utförda studier med dessa begrepp som mätpunkter och det leder dessutom till svårigheter i jämförelser mellan olika studier. En annan slutsats i denna litteraturstudie är att compliance anses en aning förlegat och att adherence är det man framförallt använder idag medans concordance tycks vara på frammarsch. Sammanfattningsvis kan man säga att det krävs mer forskning på området för att finna konsensus i nomenklaturen så att studier som utförs kan värderas och jämföras mot varandra.</p><br><p>The terms ”compliance, adherence and concordance” are used in several areas of nursing research. These terms are often used in research covering the field of nephrology since renal medicine is an area with complex treatments that demand much from both health care providers and patients. The aim of this literature review was to clarify these terms actual meaning and how they are used. To reach these goals, articles have been sought in several databases, and articles included have thereafter been read thoroughly and methodically analyzed. The results show that there is no unambiguous definition of the terms. Furthermore there are some confusion regarding how to use the terms and in some studies they are even used as synonyms even though this is wrong according to most definitions. Taken together these points makes it hard to evaluate how to use results from studies with these terms as points of measure it also leads to difficulties in comparing studies with each other. Another conclusion in this study is that compliance is considered a bit obsolete and adherence is what is generally used today while concordance is upcoming. More research is warranted to reach agreement on defining these terms to enhance comparability between studies.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Copulas are real functions representing the dependence structure of the distribution of a random vector, and measures of concordance associate with every copula a numerical value in order to allow for the comparison of different degrees of dependence.
We first introduce and study a group of transformations mapping the collection of all copulas of fixed but arbitrary dimension into itself. These transformations may be used to construct new copulas from a given one or to prove that certain real functions on the unit cube are indeed copulas. It turns out that certain transformations of a symmetric copula may be asymmetric, and vice versa.
Applying this group, we then propose a concise definition of a measure of concordance for copulas. This definition, in which the properties of a measure of concordance are defined in terms of two particular subgroups of the group, provides an easy access to the investigation of invariance properties of a measure of concordance. In particular, it turns out that for copulas which are invariant under a certain subgroup the value of every measure of concordance is equal to zero.
We also show that the collections of all transformations which preserve symmetry or the concordance order or the value of every measure of concordance each form a subgroup and that these three subgroups are identical.
Finally, we discuss a class of measures of concordance in which every element is defined as the expectation with respect to the probability measure induced by a fixed copula having an invariance property with respect to two subgroups of the group. This class is rich and includes the well-known examples Spearman's rho and Gini's gamma.

Full textAbstract:
Dans toute etude biologique ou medicale, la validite d'une mesure repose sur sa reproductibilite, d'autant plus lorsque l'interpretation d'un observateur intervient. Si la mesure est faite par plusieurs observateurs sur une echelle qualitative, les classements correspondants se resument dans un tableau de contingence, et la reproductibilite s'etudie par la concordance entre ces observateurs. Pour quantifier cette concordance, un indice a ete initialement propose, le kappa. Des modeles log-lineaires bases sur les hypotheses de quasi-symetrie et de quasi-independance ont ensuite ete proposes permettant d'analyser la structure de la concordance au lieu de la resumer par un indice. Le travail presente a ete motive par un protocole d'etude concernant la reproductibilite de la lecture de biopsies intestinales provenant de patients suspectes de maladie de crohn, maladie inflammatoire du tube digestif. Nous nous sommes interesses au developpement de modeles analysant la structure de la concordance entre plus de deux observateurs. Les problemes lies a l'interpretation de l'indice kappa, en particulier sa dependance aux distributions marginales, sont exposes. Les modeles log-lineaires prenant en compte la structure de la concordance sont decrits dans le cas de deux observateurs. Nous proposons une famille de modeles log-lineaires pour la concordance globale (entre tous les observateurs) et partielle (entre certains sous-groupes d'observateurs) contrairement a l'approche usuelle par paire d'observateurs. Cette famille est composee de modeles de plus en plus complexes. Une strategie de selection du meilleur modele basee sur la statistique du rapport de vraisemblance est mise en oeuvre, validee par des simulations et appliquee aux donnees d'interpretation de biopsies intestinales. L'approche globale et partielle est comparee a l'approche par couple d'observateurs. Les problemes lies aux cases vides dans le tableau de contingence sont discutes et l'utilisation d'une distribution exacte du rapport de vraisemblance est envisagee. L'approche que nous avons developpe s'avere plus informative que les approches usuelles dans le cas des donnees concernant la reproductibilite de la lecture de biopsies intestinales.

Chapter 1 gives an overview of the relevance of studying therapy adherence in Parkinson’s disease. Chapter 2 examines drug induced neurological syndromes and considers the validity of patients’ concerns about taking prescribed medications. Chapter 3 compares different methods of assessing therapy adherence. Chapter 4 studies factors associated with sub-optimal medicine usage in 54 patients. Chapter 5 reports a study of patient perceived involvement with management decisions and an assessment of satisfaction with the movement disorder service in 107 patients. Chapter 6 explores patients’ beliefs about antiparkinson medication in 129 patients. Chapter 7 examines the effect on Parkinson’s patients of emerging data about drug side effects, specifically fibrosis due to ergot-based dopamine agonists. Chapter 8 reports on an educational intervention designed to improve Parkinson drug timing compliance. In summary, this thesis provides important new information about medicine taking in Parkinson’s disease. A fifth of PD patients take less than 80% of prescribed antiparkinson medication. Electronic monitoring is the only reliable method of accurately detecting sub-optimal medication usage. Patients who take less than 80% of prescribed medicines are more likely to be younger, have concomitant depression, be prescribed more tablets per day and have poorer quality of life. Patients are more satisfied if they are involved in management decisions and have increased intention to comply with prescribed medication if there is better communication. Poorer quality of life is associated with less intention to comply with prescribed medication. Timing of medication intake is generally irregular but can be improved by informing patients of the continuous dopaminergic theory and providing specific drug timings. Once daily drugs are taken more consistently than drugs with more frequent doses.

Such structures are syntactically and semantically complex due to the fact that they do not fit into logical and homogeneous rules. This research aims at examining the semantics of particles in VPCs within the framework of Cognitive Grammar and Cognitive Linguistics. The discussion of the semantic contribution of the particles away, out and ‘over’ is grounded in image schemas which allow establishing relations among the different meanings of particles found in the VPCs selected for the analysis. By using Corpus Linguistics tools, namely a concordancer called AntConc 3.2.1w, the five most frequent VPCs with each particle in the American National Corpus were selected for the analysis. The results showed that the particles contribute to the overall meaning of VPCs in different degrees, with more and less metaphorical senses

Dans cette thèse nous abordons la réalisation des concordances électroniques de l'arabe, du point de vue du traitement automatique des langue (TAL). L'organisation du texte en listes de mots, de contextes et de fréquences suscite l'intérêt des chercheurs en sciences de l'information, en indexation, en lexicographie, en didactique, en dictionnairique, en stylistique Les méthodes classiques de parcours de surfaces (KWIC) utilisés pour la réalisation des concordances ne donnent pas de résultats satisfaisants sur l'arabe. Notre langue sémitique est hautement flexionnelle, agglutinante et non-vocalisée, elle contient des formes graphiques complexes muettes aux recherches de surfaces. L'analyse morpho-syntaxique (AM) s'est imposée pour la distinction des mots dans leurs contextes et pour offrir de nouveaux critères pour l'organisation et l'exploration des index. Mais avant, nous devons définir un lexique pour le TAL de l'arabe. La dissymétrie entre la génération et l'analyse du mot arabe exclut l'utilisation directe des dictionnaires traditionnels et impose d'associer à chaque entrée des spécificateurs morpho-syntaxiques. Cette association a été réalisé dans DIINAR. 1 " DIctionnaire INformatisé de l'Arabe version 1 ", qui s'appuie sur les analyseurs et les générateurs dévelopés grâce au modèle SAMIA " Synthèse et Analyse Morphologique Informatisées de l'Arabe " notamment notre analyseur AraMorph. Avec l'ambigui͏̈té née dans la langue arabe, une concordance automatique doit répondre à plusieurs heuristiques pour réduire la multiplicité des solutions et doit rester interactive et assister l'inévitable intervention experte. Cette thèse comporte une collection des ressources originales pour le TAL de l'arabe. Les listes des particules arabes et leurs matrices de compatibilités, une liste de fréquence de mots et de racines établies pour une recherche en psycholinguistique et une application directe du concordancier à une étude de corpus journalistique contemporain<br>In this thesis, we are approaching the realization of the electronic concordance for the Arabic language, from the point of view of the automatic treatment of the language. The organisation of the text in lists of words, the contexts and the frequencies which aroused the interest of the researchers in information sciences, in indexing, in lexicography, in didactic, in dictionaries, in stylistics…. . The classical methods of surface search (KWIC) used for the realization of the concordance did not give satisfactory results for the Arabic language. Our Semitic language is highly inflected, aggluinative and not-vocalized, it contains complex graphic forms remains silent in the surfaces searches. Morpho-syntaxe analyse (MA) was used for the distinction of the words in their contexts and to offer new criteria for the organisation and the exploration of the index. But before that, we must define a lexicon for the Arabic ATL, the asymmetry between the generation and the analyses of Arabic words prohibit direct using of traditional dictionnaries ans makes it necessary to associate lexical entries with a set of morph-syntactics specifiers, which has been completed in DINAR. 1 “DIctionnaire INformatisé de l’Arabe version 1” “Computerized Dictionary for Arabic version. 1” and in the analyzers and generators developped on the basis of the SAMIA model “Synthèse et Analyse Morphologique Informatisées de l’Arabe” " Computerized Morphological Synthesis and Analyses for the Arabic" among with an AraMorph analyser. With the ambiguity in the Arab language, an automatic concordancer must answer several heuristics to reduce the multiplicity of solutions and must remain interactive and assist the inevitable expert intervention. This thesis consiss of a collection of original resources for the Arabic ATL ; a lists of the Arab particles and their matrix compatibilities, a list of frequent terms with roots for psycholinguistic and direct application of concordance for a corpus study of contemporary journalistic

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: Psychological symptoms are highly prevalent, and negatively impact upon wellbeing in both people with dementia and caregivers. Despite this, little is known about whether there is a concordance in psychological symptoms between members of this dyad. This review examined the current evidence for a concordance in depression and anxiety symptoms between people with dementia and their family caregivers. Method: Studies were included if they examined the association in either depression or anxiety symptoms between the Person with Dementia (PwD) and family caregiver, using quantitative measures or diagnostic clinical interview. Results: Three longitudinal studies and 14 cross-sectional studies were identified that met criteria. All three longitudinal studies found a positive association in symptoms of depression between the PwD and caregiver compared to five out of 14 cross-sectional studies. The one study in the review that examined symptoms of anxiety found no association. Variables that influenced whether a concordance in symptoms was observed included informant source for measures of depression in the PwD, cohabitation, symptom severity and sample size. However, conclusions were limited as only three studies in the review had an explicit aim of examining the association in psychological symptoms between dyad members. Conclusions: Further research is needed which explicitly focuses on whether there is a concordance in psychological symptoms between people with dementia and their caregivers, including identifying which variables influence whether concordance occurs. This can enable interpersonal factors that contribute to and maintain psychological symptoms in dyad members to be identified and guide interventions.

Le but de cette etude etait de mettre en evidence des caracteristiques developpementales ftales de la population gemellaire du projet romulus. Pour cela, la population a ete distinguee par zygosite (dizygote et monozygote), chorionicite (monochorionique et dichorionique), poids de naissance (groupe i < 15% vs groupe ii 15%), et terme. Cette recherche etait divisee en quatre grandes parties : 1 - technique d'analyse d'images pour mesurer des parametres biometriques. 2 - application de la methode d'analyse d'images sur les parametres biometriques suivant : diametre biparietal, diametres de l'abdomen et du cervelet, circonferences et surfaces de la tete, de l'abdomen et du cervelet et longueur femorale. 3 - analyses non biometriques : (a) de questionnaires sur les ressemblances entre jumeaux, et (b) des termes et poids de naissance par zygosite et chorionicite. 4 - revue de litterature sur les jumeaux monozygotes : les jumeaux monozygotes sont-ils identiques ? les resultats obtenus revelent l'existence de discordances de croissance ftale entre type de jumeaux. Les jumeaux monozygotes monochorioniques (mz-mc) montrent une variabilite intrapaire significativement plus grande sur les parametres biometriques et plus de discordances anthropometriques (poids et terme) que les jumeaux monozygotes dichorioniques (mz-dc). En outre, les observations postnatales sur certains traits comportementaux et cognitifs montrent des differences significatives entre jumeaux et cojumeaux mz-mc et mz-dc. On constate que les jumeaux mz-mc sont plus ressemblants que les jumeaux mz-dc sur de nombreux traits cognitifs. Notre etude ne constitue pas une proposition finale, il y a encore beaucoup trop de points importants inconnus. Dans le prolongement direct de cette etude, une recherche longitudinale sur le developpement cognitif de la population gemellaire romulus permettra de completer les resultats obtenus. Notre objectif est d'utiliser cette precieuse information prenatale pour examiner le developpement cognitif et comportemental postnatal de la meme population romulus.

Nous nous intéressons à deux frères, hommes de lettres, les comtes Gasparo et Carlo Gozzi, issus d'une famille de l'aristocratie vénitienne désargentée que la plupart des "Histoires de la littérature italienne" ont la fâcheuse habitude de distinguer diamétralement. Surprise par des positions aussi tranchées, et intimement persuadée que les frères Gozzi doivent bien avoir un dénominateur commun, notre propos ici a été d'étudier non seulement ce qui les divisait mais aussi ce qui les rapprochait. Notre première étape fut de les situer dans le contexte de cette cité si particulière, puis de les voir évoluer dans leur environnement familial, nous atardant sur des moments précis qui ont pesé de façon décisive sur le devenir des deux hommes. La deuxième étape s'est attachée à décrire les activités communes aux deux frères. L'abondance de leur production a fait que nous avons dû nous arrêter à une époque déterminée. Les frères Gozzi ayant été tout deux membres actifs d'une académie comme il en existe de nombreuses dans la péninsule, l'Académie Granellesca, nous avons choisi la période où cette académie exerça son activité (1747-1762). Outre leur participation aux Actes de cette Académie, nous nous sommes servie d'autres écrits composés parallèlement par les deux frères. La troisième étape a fait volontairement abstraction des frères Gozzi hommes de lettres pour porter son attention sur la réaction de deux citoyens vénitiens face aux moeurs de la ville et de leurs contemporains. Si dans le domaine littéraire, il leur arrivait d'avoir des divergences, ce qui sans doute a pu influencer l'opinion des critiques ; ici au contraire, nous vérifions la véracité de nos intuitions premières, en découvrant deux frères nageant ensemble à contre-courant, s'obstinant à regarder vers un passé plus mythique que réel, deux frères qui se retrouvent dans leurs convictions profondes même si eux-mêmes n'en n'ont pas été conscients

Full textAbstract:
Antiplatelet therapy (APT) is key to the secondary prevention of stroke but is not without side-effects. Older people are potentially at greatest risk from gastrointestinal side-effects owing to age-related changes in the gastrointestinal tract. Helicobacter pylori may be one of the few modifiable risk factors. Previous randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of APT in secondary prevention have had highly selective eligibility criteria: the incidence of adverse events and associated risk factors in the general population is unknown. This research aimed to determine the bleeding incidence and associated risk factors in an unselected cohort of patients taking APT following stroke. The impact of these adverse events on tolerability and concordance were also examined. Following a systematic review of published evidence a prospective, inception, cohort study of consecutive patients admitted with acute ischaemic stroke and commenced on oral APT within seven days was undertaken. Helicobacter pylori status was determined by stool antigen testing and dyspepsia assessed using the Short-form Leeds Dyspepsia Questionnaire. Early and late bleeding events and APT concordance were determined at four and fifty-two weeks respectively. The study comprised 322 participants with a mean age of 71 years, older than previous secondary prevention RCTs. The point prevalence of Helicobacter pylori was 66.7% and 13.0% participants reported prior dyspepsia. Early and late all-cause bleeding events occurred in 19.7% and 25.3% participants respectively. Dual APT with aspirin and clopidogrel greatly increased bleeding risk. The incidence of early major upper gastrointestinal bleeding was 2.2%, with increasing age a significant risk factor. Early and late APT-associated intolerance occurred in 30 (9.6%) and 28 (11.1%) participants respectively. Dipyridamole was the least well tolerated APT. Neither Helicobacter pylori infection nor dyspepsia prior to the index stroke affected bleeding incidence or APT tolerability. Patients with stroke do not currently warrant screening for H. pylori infection prior to commencing APT. The co-prescription of aspirin and clopidogrel should be avoided where possible owing to the increased associated bleeding risk. Older people warrant careful monitoring following prescription of APT in the first six weeks following stroke.

Full textAbstract:
Theoretical work on civil military relations has traditionally emphasised the separation of the military from the civilian spheres as the best means of insulating against military intervention. Rebecca Schiff's concordance model challenges this basic assumption by arguing that intervention can be prevented by the presence of agreement amongst the military, the political leadership and the citizenry, on four specific indicators; the social composition of the officer corps, the political decision-making process, recruitment method and military style. Schiff's theory has been used to explore the post 1945 relationship that has existed between Indonesian army, citizenry and political leadership. The thesis argues, in line with Schiff's theory that the Indonesian army's participation in society and politics has been determined by its unique history and culture. Schiff's theory has been further applied to Indonesia to trace the gradual development of a concordance. The evidence from the Indonesian case indicates that Schiff's argument is undermined by its static nature due to the inability of her model to account for change within each of the partners. Schiff's theory overlooks the need for the partners to be coherent in order for agreement to form. In the case of this study Schiff's theory has been adapted to take into account change within the actors, introducing a dynamic element to the model. It is contended that the concordance which did eventually emerge was significantly different in nature to that defined by Schiff, namely and enforced concordance. This enforced concord endured until 1998, when a fundamental change within the nature of the partners led to Suharto's downfall. It is argued further that the case of Indonesia demonstrates the need for her

Full textAbstract:
It has been established that much of the disparity in health outcomes between blacks and whites can be explained by accounting for education and income. Once education and income have been taken into consideration, research has found racial disparities in health outcomes for low-income populations are small, and in some cases no longer significant. For middle and upper income populations, however, a significant racial disparity in health outcomes persists even after accounting for education and income. Seeking to explain this variation, I analyze the literature concerning health disparities, race and class, the prevalence and distribution of black physicians, and issues and trends surrounding physician-patient communication and discrimination. I find that black physicians tend to be concentrated in low-income, minority-dense areas, therefore, the likelihood of a black middle or upper class person seeing a doctor of their same race may be less than that for lower class blacks. I hypothesize that doctor-patient racial concordance, and the associated possibility of diminished communication and cultural hurdles endured by black patients visiting a black doctor, may explain some of this variation in the magnitude of racial health disparities along the education/income spectrum, explaining the larger racial health disparities in middle and upper-income populations. Using data from the 2006 Commonwealth Fund Health Care Quality Survey (N=1591), I conducted bivariate (chi-sq/t-tests) and step-wise multivariate, logistic regression statistical tests to explore if doctor-patient racial concordance affects the self-rated health of American adults. This analysis showed concordance as a significant predictor of self-rated health in the unadjusted model, but not in the full model. Simply put, concordance is a significant predictor of self-rated health, but not independent of socioeconomic factors. My modeling is consistent with the literature in showing education and income as the most significant predictors of health status.

Les approches contemporaines de l’éducation doivent répondre à un nombre de tensions suscitées par les changements technologiques, sociaux et économiques. Les questionnements sur la vision de l’apprentissage qui en découlent ont justifié l’implantation des programmes par compétences. Ce changement de paradigme a impliqué des réajustements sur le plan de l’évaluation des apprentissages. À la lumière de ces réalités, il est impératif de se pencher sur les dispositifs de formation au jugement évaluatif et de les bonifier. Inspiré par les points de convergence entre le développement du jugement clinique des médecins et celui du jugement en évaluation, Dionne (2005) a développé un instrument intitulé le test de jugement professionnel en évaluation des apprentissages (TJPEA). Composé de situations authentiques, il vise à mesurer le niveau de jugement des étudiants à la formation des maitres en contexte formatif.
Cette étude exploratoire qualitative interprétative a été menée auprès de douze participants catégorisés en trois profils différents : quatre étudiants de première année à la formation des maîtres au secondaire (novices), quatre enseignants d’expérience oeuvrant dans une école secondaire québécoise (praticiens) et quatre professeurs universitaires spécialisés en évaluation des apprentissages (experts). Les données recueillies via la passation orale d'un TJPEA ont permis de (1) contribuer à identifier les différents facteurs susceptibles d’influencer le jugement professionnel en évaluation des répondants, (2) de comprendre davantage la dynamique de progression du développement de la compétence à évaluer, notamment en identifiant les différents schèmes de pensée entre les profils de répondants et (3) ressortir les différents obstacles à l’exercice du jugement évaluatif des sujets.
Même si nous sommes conscients que les résultats obtenus à cette étude ne sont pas généralisables en raison de son échantillon limité, il est tout de moins possible d’en faire découler de nouvelles avenues de recherche. Cela nous permettra éventuellement de proposer des solutions à la relève enseignante et de favoriser le développement d’un jugement en évaluation juste et équitable pour les élèves.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Amblyopi är en synnedsättning som uppkommer under de första levnadsåren och orsakas av bristande stimulans eller hämning av celler i synbarken. Följsamhet till behandlingen är viktig hos barn med amblyopi för att kunna utveckla en optimal synskärpa. En dålig följsamhet kan leda till bestående synnedsättning, ökat lidande och minskad livskvalitet. Följsamhet kan kopplas till de tre engelska termerna compliance, adherence och concordance, som definieras på olika sätt.
Syfte: Syftet med studien var att ur ortoptistens perspektiv belysa vad som är av betydelse för följsamhet vid behandling av barn med amblyopi.
Metod: Data samlades in genom nio intervjuer med verksamma ortoptister. Databearbetning genomfördes med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys.
Resultat: I resultatet framträder fyra områden som påverkar följsamheten. Barnets förutsättningar, hur behandlingen hanteras, kommunikation och behandlingens utformning, resultat och påverkan i vardagen upplevs av ortoptisterna som faktorer som både främjar och försvårar följsamheten. Mycket av resultatet stämmer överens med tidigare forskning, men att ortoptisterna upplever att familjekonstellation och bemötande har betydelse för följsamhet är nytt.
Slutsats: Vid amblyopibehandling hos barn är det nödvändigt att ortoptisten har kunskap om och förståelse för vad som har betydelse för följsamhet. Med denna kunskap kan ortoptisten på flera områden verka för ett bättre behandlingsresultat där barnet uppnår optimal synskärpa. Ortoptistens syn på följsamhet påverkar på vilket sätt som hen får ansvar för barnets följsamhet.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s'intéresse à divers aspects de l'univers de Dirac-Milne, un modèle cosmologique dans lequel matière et antimatière sont présentes en quantités égales et où l'on suppose, comme pourrait le suggérer la relativité générale à travers les propriétés des solutions de Kerr-Newman, que l'antimatière possède une masse gravitationnelle active négative. Ces hypothèses permettent de s'affranchir de la nécessité d'introduire Inflation, Énergie Noire et Matière Noire, dont les mises en évidences expérimentales et les motivations théoriques font parfois défaut. La présence en quantités égales de matière de masse positive et d'antimatière de masse négative impose une évolution du facteur d'expansion linéaire par rapport au temps. Après avoir rappelé les concepts basiques de la cosmologie, certaines implications de cette évolution linéaire sont étudiées. L'étude complète de la nucléosynthèse primordiale dans le cadre de ce modèle alternatif permet de montrer qu'une production primordiale de deutérium est rendue possible par la présence d'annihilations résiduelles entre matière et antimatière à des époques précédant la recombinaison. Toutefois, ce mécanisme de production secondaire conduit à une surproduction d'hélium-3, potentiellement incompatible avec les observations. Bien que l'univers de Dirac-Milne ne présente pas d'accélération de l'expansion aux époques récentes, il est montré que ce modèle satisfait raisonnablement bien au test cosmologique des supernovae de type Ia. De même, l'échelle angulaire du premier pic acoustique des fluctuations de température du fond diffus cosmologique apparaît naturellement à l'échelle du degré. Même si l'étude complète du spectre de ces fluctuations et de la cohérence de la notion de masse négative reste encore à approfondir, ce travail pose les bases d'un modèle cosmologique original et potentiellement capable de donner une autre description de notre Univers.

Dans le présent travail il s’agira du mode de l’indicatif français, notamment de la concordance des temps de l’indicatif et son transfert vers le lituanien. Donc, l’objectif de notre mémoire est l’étude du système de l’indicatif du français et son transfert en lituanien.<br>Mūsų darbo tikslas yra išstudijuoti prancūzų kalbos tiesioginę nuosakos laikus ir jų vertimą į lietuvių kalbą. Kalbant apie tiesioginę nuosaką reikėtų pasakyti, kad vien šios nuosakos formos jau gali išreikšti laiko sąvoką. Taip pat reikėtų paminėti, kad specifinis prancūzų kalbos gramatikos bruožas yra laikų derinimas. Laikų derinimu vadiname atitikmenį, kuris reikalingas atliekamų veiksmų suvokimui ir chronologijai, kurie egzistuoja sudėtiniame sakinyje išdėstant veiksmažodžių laikus tarp pagrindinio ir šalutinio sakinio. Norint suprasti, kaip veikia laikų derinimo mechanizmas, reikia stebėti, kaip keičiasi šalutinio sakinio veiksmažodžiai, kada pakinta pagrindinio sakinio veiksmažodžių laikas. Taip galima išskirti dabarties ir praeities veiksmažodžių laikų derinimo planus. Vis tik nereikėtų suprasti laikų derinimo tik kaip metodo, kai šalutinio sakinio laikų vartojimas priklauso nuo pagrindinio sakinio laikų vartojimo. Laikų derinimo sąvoka yra daug platesnė. Sakykim, derinant pasakojimo laikus, reikia atkreipti dėmesį ne tik į atitinkamo laiko plano laikų derinimą, bet ir į pasakojimo prasmę, į tai, ką norima pasakyti.<br>Dans le présent travail il s’agira du mode de l’indicatif français, notamment de la concordance des temps de l’indicatif et son transfert vers le lituanien.
