Full textAbstract:
In this study, the influence of perceived affiliation with a target and perceived risk on decisions to act altruistically were investigated. These are variables which have been suggested by the social and evolutionary psychology literatures, respectively. 12 participants responded to automobile accident scenarios that combined risk and affiliation with a target in descriptions of opportunities to render aid. Participants reported a lower likelihood to help when perceived risk was high, but only if their perceived affiliation with the targets was low or moderate; tendency to help highly affiliated targets was uniformly high throughout all risk conditions. Participants' ratings of certainty in their decisions to render aid were directly related to both perceived risk and perceived affiliation with a target. Decisions were arrived at more slowly when perceived risk and perceived affiliation were both moderate. Therefore, both risk and affiliation were considered by participants when deciding whether to act altruistically. This illustrates a convergence of predictions from social and evolutionary psychology.

In this article it is suggested that the translation of speech-act report verbs may provide scope for achieving stylistic and pragmatic aims. Analysis of the translation of fictional dialogues from a contemporary English novel reveals considerable diversity in the choice of Spanish verbs used to render ‘said’ in the context of impositive directive speech acts. While the choice of a speech act with similar illocutionary force to “said” may fulfil only stylistic objectives, a pragmatic dimension is introduced by the selection of a speech-act verb with a different force. In the context of impositive directive speech acts such a choice may be viewed as an aspect of “pragmastylistics”, defined in Hickey et al. (1993) as “the area where pragmatic and stylistic considerations converge.”

Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates the use of technical collocations in the genre of popular science articles and the strategies used by translators to render such collocations. The study mainly aims to answer these questions: (1) are technical collocations used in this genre, and if yes, to what extent? (2) What are the strategies used to render such collocations into the target language? A pilot study is conducted to analyze a small parallel corpus of popular science articles from the National Geographic magazine and its Arabic version in order to identify technical collocations in the source texts and their equivalents in the target texts. Implications for future research in this area are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The present descriptive study considers different translation strategies adopted by Italian translators of Oscar Wilde’s The importance of being Earnest (1895). The focus of attention is on the phenomenon of the pun involving the speaking name Ernest, whose homophony with earnest is exploited in the play’s title. Italian translators of The importance have thus been faced with the bind of having to decide on whether to render the said wordplay, even though only unsatisfactorily, by replacing the transparent name Ernest with a target language ‘equivalent’, or safeguard the cultural-onomastic ‘reality’ of the play, i.e. leave the Victorian given name Ernest in its source text form. It turns out that the latter policy is generally compensated for—as part of the metatextual/metalinguistic discourse—within prefaces, glosses and, more significantly, via intratextual additions. The translators opting for replacing Ernest with an Italian counterpart, in turn, have, as a direct consequence of their basic choice, been able to enrich their versions of The importance with unprecedented puns, which underlines the ‘creative’ dimension involved in producing literary translations. Besides the two core translation policies described above, the translators have also opted for introducing the nativized form Ernesto, thus showing little concern with the questions of ‘cultural purity’ or punning, respectively. The present paper suggests that translators make very different demands on themselves and have very different ideas of what constitutes the ‘optimal’ strategy with regard to punning and the representation of the source cultural world.

Full textAbstract:
Glioblastoma is a highly lethal adult brain tumor with no effective treatments. In this review, we discuss the potential to target cholesterol metabolism as a new strategy for treating glioblastomas. Twenty percent of cholesterol in the body is in the brain, yet the brain is unique among organs in that it has no access to dietary cholesterol and must synthesize it de novo. This suggests that therapies targeting cholesterol synthesis in brain tumors might render their effects without compromising cell viability in other organs. We will describe cholesterol synthesis and homeostatic feedback pathways in normal brain and brain tumors, as well as various strategies for targeting these pathways for therapeutic intervention.

We present a practical and effective method for human action transfer. Given a sequence of source action and limited target information, we aim to transfer motion from source to target. Although recent works based on GAN or VAE achieved impressive results for action transfer in 2D, there still exists a lot of problems which cannot be avoided, such as distorted and discontinuous human body shape, blurry cloth texture and so on. In this paper, we try to solve these problems in a novel 3D viewpoint. On the one hand, we design a skeleton-to-3D-mesh generator to generate the 3D model, which achieves huge improvement on appearance reconstruction. Furthermore, we add a temporal connection to improve the smoothness of the model. On the other hand, instead of directly utilizing the image in RGB space, we transform the target appearance information into UV space for further pose transformation. Specially, unlike conventional graphics render method directly projects visible pixels to UV space, our transformation is according to pixel’s semantic information. We perform experiments on Human3.6M and HumanEva-I to evaluate the performance of pose generator. Both qualitative and quantitative results show that our method outperforms methods based on generation method in 2D. Additionally, we compare our render method with graphic methods on Human3.6M and People-snapshot. The comparison results show that our render method is more robust and effective.

Full textAbstract:
In Drosophila, the gradient of the Bicoid (Bcd) morphogen organizes the anteroposterior axis while the ends of the embryo are patterned by the maternal terminal system. At the posterior pole, expression of terminal gap genes is mediated by the local activation of the Torso receptor tyrosine kinase (Tor). At the anterior, terminal gap genes are also activated by the Tor pathway but Bcd contributes to their activation. Here we present evidence that Tor and Bcd act independently on common target genes in an additive manner. Furthermore, we show that the terminal maternal system is not required for proper head development, since high levels of Bcd activity can functionally rescue the lack of terminal system activity at the anterior pole. This observation is consistent with a recent evolution of an anterior morphogenetic center consisting of Bcd and anterior Tor function.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract CRISPR–Cas12a (previously named Cpf1) is a prokaryotic deoxyribonuclease that can be programmed with an RNA guide to target complementary DNA sequences. Upon binding of the target DNA, Cas12a induces a nick in each of the target DNA strands, yielding a double-stranded DNA break. In addition to inducing cis-cleavage of the targeted DNA, target DNA binding induces trans-cleavage of non-target DNA. As such, Cas12a–RNA guide complexes can provide sequence-specific immunity against invading nucleic acids such as bacteriophages and plasmids. Akin to CRISPR–Cas9, Cas12a has been repurposed as a genetic tool for programmable genome editing and transcriptional control in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In addition, its trans-cleavage activity has been applied for high-sensitivity nucleic acid detection. Despite the demonstrated value of Cas12a for these applications, the exact molecular mechanisms of both cis- and trans-cleavage of DNA were not completely understood. Recent studies have revealed mechanistic details of Cas12a-mediates DNA cleavage: base pairing of the RNA guide and the target DNA induces major conformational changes in Cas12a. These conformational changes render Cas12a in a catalytically activated state in which it acts as deoxyribonuclease. This deoxyribonuclease activity mediates cis-cleavage of the displaced target DNA strand first, and the RNA guide-bound target DNA strand second. As Cas12a remains in the catalytically activated state after cis-cleavage, it subsequently demonstrates trans-cleavage of non-target DNA. Here, I review the mechanistic details of Cas12a-mediated cis- and trans-cleavage of DNA. In addition, I discuss how bacteriophage-derived anti-CRISPR proteins can inhibit Cas12a activity.

Full textAbstract:
Antibody heteroaggregates have been used to render human peripheral blood T cells lytic for specified targets. The heteroaggregates contain anti-T3 covalently linked to antibodies against nominal target cell antigens. Such heteroaggregates bind target cells directly to T3 molecules on effector cells and trigger target cell lysis. Freshly prepared human PBL, when coated with anti-T3-containing heteroaggregates, are lytic without further stimulation, although brief exposure to crude lymphokine-containing supernatants or recombinant IL-2, but not recombinant IFN-gamma, enhances the activity. The effector cells are T8+, and when fully stimulated, their lytic activity approaches that of some cloned CTL. When T cells are treated with heteroaggregate, washed, and incubated at 37 degrees C in medium not containing heteroaggregate, they retain activity for at least 24 h. The results of this study suggest a strategy in which heteroaggregate-coated T cells could be used in vivo to mount a lytic response against pathogenic cells such as tumor cells or virus-infected cells.

Background. Games today are becoming more complex in computational andgraphical areas. Companies today want to develop games with state of the artgraphics while also having complicated and complex game logic. The vast majorityof users rarely meet the computer requirements. This creates an issue which lim-its the target demographic that a company wants to meet. This thesis will focuson two different methods that achieves deferred shading in Vulkan and how the en-vironment is affecting both methods as-well as the number of lights and attachments. Objectives. In Vulkan there are two ways of implementing deferred shading, one isthe traditional way of doing it which is by conducting multiple render-targets. Thesecond way is by utilizing a feature unique to Vulkan known as sub-passes. Our aimis to conduct experiments with these two ways of implementing deferred shading todetermine which one is the most optimal for a given situation. These situations willvary depending on the number of visible objects and number of lights in the scene. Methods. The experiments are conducted by a rendering system that have beenimplemented by us. By implementing both suggested deviations of the renderingtechnique ’deferred shading’ the data collected will suffer less from unexpected andunknown variables than it would if the implementations were taken from a separatesource. The experiments that will be conducted intend to measure performance met-rics in the form of average frames per second as well as average render frame time(inseconds). To measure the time performance metric, the system shall utilize Vulkan’ssupport for gpu-timestamping[7]. To provide reliable measurements without any un-warranted errors each rendering deviation will utilize pre-recorded command buffers. Conclusions. This thesis has shown that using multiple sub-passes within a singlerender-target performs faster write operations to the attached render attachments.This result in less memory bandwidth which leads to a faster geometry pass. Theperformance gain from a faster geometry pass can be used somewhere else to en-hance different aspects of the game or graphical application. Having less memorybandwidth would result in a longer battery life on mobile phones and laptops.

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif de cette thèse est de proposer une solution complète basée sur la vision pour permettre la navigation autonome d’un vaisseau de poursuite (S/C) lors d’opérations de proximité dans l’espace de rendez-vous (RDV) avec une cible non coopérative en utilisant une caméra monoculaire visible.Le rendez-vous autonome est une capacité clé pour répondre aux principaux défis de l’ingénierie spatiale, tels que l’enlèvement actif des débris (ADR) et l’entretien en orbite(OOS). L’ADR vise à éliminer les débris spatiaux, dans les régions protégées en orbite basse, qui sont les plus susceptibles d’entraîner des collisions futures et d’alimenter le syndrome de Kessler, augmentant ainsi le risque pour les engins spatiaux opérationnels.L’OOS comprend des services d’inspection, d’entretien, de réparation, d’assemblage, de ravitaillement et de prolongation de la durée de vie des satellites ou structures en orbite.Lors d’un RDV autonome avec une cible non coopérative, c’est-`a-dire une cible qui n’aide pas / n’interagit pas le chasseur dans les opérations d’acquisition, de poursuite et de rendez-vous, le chasseur doit estimer l’état de la cible `a bord de manière autonome.Les opérations de rendez-vous autonomes nécessitent des mesures précises et actualisées de la pose relative (c’est-à-dire la position et l’attitude de la cible), et la combinaison de capteurs de caméra avec des algorithmes de poursuite peut constituer une solution rentable.La recherche a été divisée en trois études principales : le développement d’un algorithme permettant l’acquisition de la pose initiale (c’est-à-dire la détermination de la pose sans aucune connaissance préalable de cette pose aux instants précédents), le développement d’un algorithme de poursuite récursif (c’est-à-dire d’un algorithme qui exploite les informations sur l’état de la cible à l’instant précédent pour calculer la mise à jour de la pose à l’instant actuel), et le développement d’un filtre de navigation intégrant les mesures provenant de différents capteurs et/ou algorithmes, avec différents taux et délais.En ce qui concerne la phase d’acquisition de la pose, un nouvel algorithme de détection a été développé pour permettre une initialisation rapide de la pose. Une approche est proposée pour récupérer entièrement la pose de la cible en utilisant un ensemble d’invariants et de moments géométriques (c’est-à-dire des caractéristiques globales) calculés à partir des images de la silhouette de la cible. Les caractéristiques globales synthétisent le contenu de l’image dans un vecteur de quelques descripteurs qui changent de valeurs en fonction de la pose relative de la cible. Une base de données des caractéristiques globales est pré-calculée hors ligne en utilisant le modèle géométrique de la cible afin de couvrir tout l’espace de la solution. Au moment de l’exécution, les caractéristiques globales sont calculées sur l’image actuelle acquise et comparées avec la base de données. Différents ensembles de caractéristiques globales ont été comparés afin de sélectionner les plus performants,ce qui a permis d’obtenir un algorithme de détection robuste avec une faible charge de calcul<br>The aim of this thesis is to propose a full vision-based solution to enable autonomousnavigation of a chaser spacecraft (S/C) during close-proximity operations in space rendezvous(RDV) with a non-cooperative target using a visible monocular camera.Autonomous rendezvous is a key capability to answer main challenges in space engineering,such as Active Debris Removal (ADR) and On-Orbit-Servicing (OOS). ADR aimsat removing the space debris, in low-Earth-orbit protected region, that are more likelyto lead to future collision and feed the Kessler syndrome, thus increasing the risk foroperative spacecrafts. OOS includes inspection, maintenance, repair, assembly, refuelingand life extension services to orbiting S/C or structures. During an autonomous RDVwith a non-cooperative target, i.e., a target that does not assist the chaser in acquisition,tracking and rendezvous operations, the chaser must estimate the target’s state on-boardautonomously. Autonomous RDV operations require accurate, up-to-date measurementsof the relative pose (i.e., position and attitude) of the target, and the combination ofcamera sensors with tracking algorithms can provide a cost effective solution.The research has been divided into three main studies: the development of an algorithmenabling the initial pose acquisition (i.e., the determination of the pose without any priorknowledge of the pose of the target at the previous instants), the development of a recursivetracking algorithm (i.e., an algorithm which exploits the information about thestate of the target at the previous instant to compute the pose update at the currentinstant), and the development of a navigation filter integrating the measurements comingfrom different sensor and/or algorithms, with different rates and delays.For what concerns the pose acquisition phase, a novel detection algorithm has been developedto enable fast pose initialization. An approach is proposed to fully retrieve theobject’s pose using a set of invariants and geometric moments (i.e., global features) computedusing the silhouette images of the target. Global features synthesize the content ofthe image in a vector of few descriptors which change values as a function of the targetrelative pose. A database of global features is pre-computed offline using the target geometricalmodel in order to cover all the solution space. At run-time, global features arecomputed on the current acquired image and compared with the database. Different setsof global features have been compared in order to select the more performing, resultingin a robust detection algorithm having a low computational load.Once an initial estimate of the pose is acquired, a recursive tracking algorithm is initialized.The algorithm relies on the detection and matching of the observed silhouettecontours with the 3D geometric model of the target, which is projected into the imageframe using the estimated pose at the previous instant. Then, the summation of the distances between each projected model points and the matched image points is written as a non-linear function of the unknown pose parameters. The minimization of this costfunction enables the estimation of the pose at the current instant. This algorithm providesfast and very accurate measurements of the relative pose of the target. However,as other recursive trackers, it is prone to divergence. Thus, the detection algorithm isrun in parallel to the tacker in order to provide corrected measurements in case of trackerdivergences. The measurements are then integrated into the chaser navigation filter to provide anoptimal and robust estimate. Vision-based navigation algorithms provide only pose measurements

O presente trabalho aborda o problema da variabilidade da prática médica, entendida como as variações sistemáticas na utilização de um procedimento médico ou cirúrgico após terem sido descartadas como causas as diferenças entre as populações e os pacientes. Teoricamente se espera que o comportamento dos médicos seja uniforme, isto é, que frente a uma população fixa, a taxa de encaminhamento dos médicos a procedimentos diagnósticos ou tratamentos hospitalares seja muito parecida, mas na realidade a taxa de encaminhamento segue uma distribuição que da conta dá variabilidade na prática médica. A partir do banco de dados de uma seguradora de saúde colombiana, foi realizada uma vasta análise estatística que permitiu encontrar variáveis importantes para a abordagem do problema. Dentre as variáveis estudadas, mereceram destaque a distribuição de pacientes atendidos pelos médicos (concentração) e a taxa de encaminhamento para cirurgia. O trabalho procura, a partir de simulação computacional, utilizando modelagem baseada em agentes, reproduzir as funções de distribuição empíricas referentes a concentração e a taxa de encaminhamento para procedimentos cirúrgicos. O modelo está baseado na hipótese econômica da renda alvo, teoria da sociologia dos grupos e em dados empíricos.<br>This study addresses the problem of medical practice variation (MPV), which is the presence of variation in the use of a medical procedure that is not explained by environmental, demographic or epidemiological differences. Theoretically, it is expected that the behavior of physicians were uniform for a fixed population, the rate of remission for diagnostic procedures or hospital treatment must be very similar, but in practice the remission rate follows a distribution that account the variability in medical practice. We used the data base of a Colombian health insurance company. Statistical analysis found important variables to approach the problem as: distribution of patients seen by the physician (concentration) and the rate of referral for surgery.

Dans cette thèse, nous abordons le problème de l'analyse des sentiments.

Our systems have been among the first three best systems in all subtasks. We also applied our systems on a French book reviews corpus constructed by OpenEdition team for extracting the opinion targets and their polarities

The memory profiling is done for parts of the program which runs on the graphics processor and is responsible for rendering the image. The shaders are parsed and every memory instruction is instrumented with additional instruction for profiling. The results are then transferred from the video memory to CPU memory. Profiling is done for a frame and completes in less than three minutes. The report also describes various analyses that can be done using the results obtained from this profiler. The report discusses the design of an analytical cache model that can be used to identify candidate memory buffers suitable for caching among all the buffers used by an application. The profiler can segregate results for reads and writes separately, can handle all formats of texture access instructions and predicated instructions.<br>text

Full textAbstract:
Despite improvements over the past decade in the treatment of ovarian cancer, many patients are at risk of recurrent disease and emerging drug resistance. The increased selectivity and reduced toxicity of molecularly targeted anti-cancer agents renders them attractive for development in ovarian cancer, and monoclonal antibodies targeting ovarian cancer-specific tumor antigens represent the largest such group investigated in this clinical setting. This chapter describes examples of monoclonal antibodies clinically evaluated for efficacy in ovarian cancer. These agents recognize molecular targets expressed on tumors or within tumor microenvironments that may be essential for tumor cell survival and proliferation. Recently, antibodies targeting checkpoint molecules on immune cells have shown efficacy in modulating anti-tumor immunity, and applications in ovarian carcinomas are evaluated. The chapter focuses on therapeutic agents’ attributes on targeting key cancer growth and progression pathways, and propensity to engender effector functions by activating immune effector cells in tumors and the circulation.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter lays out the book’s theoretical contribution to a growing literature that synthesizes organizations and social movements ideas by theorizing the dynamics of organizational fields and by introducing the concept of field overlap. The focus on inter-field dynamics—meaning dynamics across overlapping political arenas—offers a framework for understanding how social movements influence state policy. The chapter emphasizes how field overlap is key to understanding social movement success and failure. Although field theory has previously focused on interactions within a particular field, this chapter argues that the structure of overlap between fields creates unique points of leverage that render particular targets more vulnerable and strategies more effective for activists. The chapter also highlights how this new theoretical framework provides the underpinning for an integrative mapping of routine and contentious politics at national and international levels.

International criminal justice emerged in the tradition of international peace and security. The relationship between the ICC and the Security Council has been problematic since the inception of the Court. While some delegations argued that the nexus to collective security is helpful because it might make ICC justice more effective in terms of enforcement, other delegations feared that it might render the Court vulnerable to alignment with politics. This chapter examines dilemmas that have emerged in the interaction between the Court and the Council in the first decade. It focuses on several key areas: referrals, deferrals, and institutional interaction, most notably cooperation and funding. It seeks to offer a constructivist vision on the interplay between the ICC and the Council, by offering some targeted recommendations to improve the status quo.

Cervical facet dysfunction poses a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma in patients with axial neck pain due to either degenerative changes or whiplash injuries as it presents with a paucity of diagnostic radiologic or examination findings. The specific orientation of the cervical facet joints renders them particularly vulnerable to whiplash injury. This chapter examines the clinically relevant anatomy with nuances unique to the cervical spine, etiology of the structural changes, diagnostic tools, and treatment of cervical facet dysfunction. Understanding the relevant anatomy and referral patterns of cervical facet joints allows for more targeted diagnosis and treatment. There are strong evidence-based options in the treatment of cervical facet joint dysfunction.

Full textAbstract:
In 2012, the Russian Federation passed the “Foreign Agent” law, requiring nonprofit organizations that receive funding from abroad and engage in political activity to register with the government as a “foreign agent.” This chapter traces the enactment of this law in the Baikal community. Only one organization fell victim to the law: Baikal Environmental Wave. The Wave was one of Siberia’s oldest environmental organizations and was the most committed to environmental advocacy. It was no stranger to state persecution, but this law rendered it incapable of operating and it finally shut down. The Foreign Agent law represents a new form of dominating the field of power. Unlike the Soviet government, which outlawed all independent activity, the Putin government practices “legal nihilism,” using the law only to target strategic opponents. Civil society may be independent and thrive, but it cannot threaten the state without grave consequences.

The War Lawyer s: The United States , Israel, and Juridical Warfare examines the laws of war as interpreted and applied by military lawyers to aerial targeting operations carried out by the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Israel Defense Force (IDF) in Gaza. Drawing on interviews with military lawyers and others, this book explains why some lawyers became integrated in the chain of command whereby military targets are identified and attacked, whether by manned aircraft, drones and/or ground forces, and with what results. The analysis shows how a series of political, legal, and technological developments have given rise to a targeting apparatus that requires legal input. In examining the effects of this process, the book argues that when lawyers render legal advice on targeting, they effectively put the indeterminacy of law in the service of producing and extending military violence, as well as constraining it. This is an iterative and ongoing law-making enterprise carried out in concert with the commanders whom lawyers advise. The provision of legal answers and options takes place in a highly routinized fashion under the overarching imperatives of mission success, and crucially, under pressures of time and emergent events in the battlespace. Military lawyers respond to intelligence data from widely distributed actors—but also inevitable gaps, errors, and misinterpretations in such data. The War Lawyers examines the mutual influence of US and Israeli targeting policies and shows just how important law and military lawyers have become in the conduct of contemporary warfare.

Full textAbstract:
Figuring Violence catalogs the affects that define the latter stages of the war on terror and the imaginative work that underpins them. These affects—apprehension, affection, admiration, gratitude, pity, and righteous anger—are far more pleasurable and durable than their predecessors. Hence, they are deeply compatible with the ambitions of a state embroiling itself in a perpetual and essentially unwinnable war. Surveying the cultural landscape of this sprawling conflict, Figuring Violence reveals the varied mechanisms by which these affects have been militarized. This book tracks their convergences around six types of beings: civilian children, military children, military spouses, veterans with PTSD and TBI, Guantánamo detainees, and military dogs. All of these groups have become preferred objects of sentiment in wartime public culture, but they also have in common their status as political subjects who are partially or fully unknowable. They become visible to outsiders through a range of mediated and imaginative practices that are ostensibly motivated by concern or compassion. However, these practices actually function to reduce these beings to abstracted figures and so make them easy targets for affective investment. This is a paradoxical and conditional form of recognition that eclipses the actual beings upon whom those figures are patterned, silencing their political subjectivities and obscuring their suffering. As a result, they are erased and rendered hypervisible at once. Figuring Violence demonstrates that this dynamic ultimately propagates the very militarism that begets their victimization.

Comprender las bases del electromagnetismo no suele ser una tarea simple para el principiante. Conceptos abstractos cuyo tratamiento a veces requiere elaboraciones matemáticas diferentes a las utilizadas en Física para primer año, pueden resultar un serio impedimento cuando no se tiene en claro su utilidad. La bibliografía y planes de estudio pensados para carreras de Física, fueron utilizados durante más de cincuenta años para otras carreras, entre ellas las Ingenierías, cuando el alumno podía decidir en qué momento presentarse a rendir la evaluación final de la cursada, con tiempo suficiente para integrar los conocimientos releyendo y relacionando los temas tratados. Las diferentes estrategias de enseñanza implementadas no fueron acompañadas por cambios en el contenido y orden en el tratamiento de los temas. En algunos casos, para permitir una salida laboral temprana se intentó acortar la duración de las carreras posibilitando promocionar algunas materias por partes sin seguir un orden de continuidad. De no existir una evaluación integradora, difícilmente el alumno podrá relacionar los temas al ritmo impuesto para las cursadas. La incorporación de nuevas tecnologías es otro factor a tener en cuenta. Las ventajas ofrecidas por el acceso masivo a la información pueden resultar contraproducentes aún tratándose de fuentes confiables. Errores conceptuales en el material presentado en páginas de prestigiosas universidades, pueden permanecer años en la red sin ser percibidos o denunciados siquiera por profesores de la misma Universidad. Este libro no es la excepción. Por este motivo, durante el desarrollo de los diferentes temas se alienta al lector a asumir una postura crítica utilizando, cuando el tema lo permite, diferentes estrategias de comprobación. En este sentido, la lectura de estas páginas es una tarea que requiere tomar nota, realizar los desarrollos correspondientes y analizar los resultados obtenidos. El orden seguido en este trabajo se aparta del utilizado tradicionalmente y fue comprobada su eficacia en cursos piloto de Física II para la Facultad de Ingeniería (UNLP) entre 2013 y 2016 con resultados alentadores. La falta de bibliografía acorde al orden en que se tratan los temas, motivó la realización de esta obra. En ella hago referencia a las preguntas que me hice cuando cursé esta asignatura como alumno de Ingeniería en Telecomunicaciones, que se dieron por sabidas en las materias siguientes o que su explicación pasó inadvertida ante la carga matemática utilizada en el tratamiento del tema. En los 35 años de docencia en esta materia fui encontrando, para muchos de estos interrogantes, la explicación simple que quiero compartir con este material.

Full textAbstract:
A partir de 1991, en Colombia puede hablarse de un nuevo derecho, un derecho enmarcado en la Constitución, en el cual se da prevalencia a los derechos humanos y a los derechos fundamentales. Ese nuevo derecho se ve reflejado en las áreas del conocimiento jurídico, tanto sustancial como procesal. Y una de esas formas en que se refleja, es la posibilidad de que algunos particulares participen en forma activa en la solución de los conflictos, en tanto que en el artículo 116 de la Carta Política se faculta a los particulares para la solución de conflictos en su calidad de árbitros o de conciliadores. La necesidad de generar mecanismos de descongestión para la administración de justicia, llevó a que a partir del año mencionado se empezara con una ardua tarea legislativa sobre esos temas, pero basada, considero, en el error de llamarlos siempre mecanismos de descongestión, cuando desde el punto de vista legal y constitucional son una forma de solución de conflictos con fuerza similar a las decisiones judiciales. No es un simple formalismo para descongestionar, sino una verdadera forma de terminar los conflictos socio jurídicos de una comunidad. En estos 27 años aproximadamente se han dado diferentes leyes sobre el tema, pero tratando en cada una de ellas de dar una mayor prevalencia a estos mecanismos, incluso motivando a través de diferentes capacitaciones a los profesionales del derecho para que agoten estos mecanismos antes de acudir a los jueces de la República. Sin embargo, el legislador insta a las partes dentro del proceso para que se realice la conciliación, tal vez esto sea un error, ya que los principios procesales pueden verse afectados en esta instancia. Además, durante este tiempo, muchas de los Consultorios Jurídicos de las Universidades de Colombia han creado centros de conciliación, los cuales han servido como un medio de acción social para las universidades y las interacciones con la comunidad, han llevado a que las instituciones educativas sean reconocidas por su labor social. Igualmente, muchos debates se han dado entorno a estos mecanismos, desde la discusión de su naturaleza hasta su efectividad, han tratado de buscar su mejor desarrollo legislativo y su aplicación, a estos temas no ha sido ajena la Corporación Universitaria Americana, y como resultado de ese hacer académico se presenta este libro, en el cual se encuentran distintas perspectivas de la solución de conflictos a partir de la conciliación. Desde su visón filosófica, social y jurídica se pretende aportar a la discusión académica sobre esta materia. No se trata de dar solo una visión parcializada y subjetiva sobre el tema, sino que lo que se busca es dar una conceptualización objetiva que permita desde el punto de vista de la investigación, generar nuevo conocimiento y por ende una nueva legislación. La aproximación desde la filosofía moral a lo que es la conciliación, implica reconocer al hombre como ser no solo como una parte de un conflicto, sino como un ser integral que posee problemas sociales, morales, culturales, un ser poseedor de derechos más allá de los reconocidos por el ordenamiento positivo. Los textos de los autores Cesar Augusto Ramírez Giraldo y Diego Correa Correa, nos muestran al hombre en su esencia dentro un contexto social. Además de la visión de la persona desde su componente mental se encuentra en texto de Santiago Restrepo Restrepo, Manuel José Gómez Restrepo y Adriana Patricia Arboleda López. En un segundo plano, se presentan los mecanismos de solución de conflictos desde su componente jurídico, analizando la efectividad de un mecanismo para la solución de conflictos entre particulares nacidos de los distintos negocios jurídicos o por mandato de la ley. De igual forma, el ejercicio de la conciliación desde los consultorios jurídicos y su aplicación en algunas de las áreas del derecho, a si se observa en los trabajos de Sol Leonor Mejía Pulgarín, María Isabel Ortiz Cano, Silvia H. Muñoz Cortina y Carlos A. Gómez García. Finalmente, se encuentra en el texto el aporte de los semilleristas y estudiantes de la Corporación Universitaria donde se observa la forma en que se percibe estos medios de solución, como Jorge Juan de Bedout Quiroga, Camilo Cesar Molina Cerón, Edwin Alexander Jiménez y Santiago Rendón Ruiz.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractCompilers are error-prone due to their high complexity. They are relevant for not only general purpose programming languages, but also for many domain specific languages. Bugs in compilers can potentially render all programs at risk. It is thus crucial that compilers are systematically tested, if not verified. Recently, a number of efforts have been made to formalise and standardise programming language semantics, which can be applied to verify the correctness of the respective compilers. In this work, we present a novel specification-based testing method named SpecTest to better utilise these semantics for testing. By applying an executable semantics as test oracle, SpecTest can discover deep semantic errors in compilers. Compared to existing approaches, SpecTest is built upon a novel test coverage criterion called semantic coverage which brings together mutation testing and fuzzing to specifically target less tested language features. We apply SpecTest to systematically test two compilers, i.e., the Java compiler and the Solidity compiler. SpecTest improves the semantic coverage of both compilers considerably and reveals multiple previously unknown bugs.

Full textAbstract:
Since at least the 1990s, Translation Studies theorists have advocated greater respect for alterity in literary translation. With the advent of Naturalist theatre and, later, the predominance of free-verse poetry in the 20th century, renderings of both poetry and verse drama in the English-speaking world have favoured assimilation with target-culture values. “Organic form”, described by James S. Holmes as the methodology with which a translator renders a source text primarily for its meaning, has been the prevalent strategy for translating works such as Spanish Golden Age dramas for approximately a century now. A return to the methodology of “analogical form”, with which a translator seeks to render the source text using correlatives to its form and function in the source culture, would do much to recognise the Other by avoiding both de-historicisation and de-poeticisation through less domesticated target texts. Examples of these competing methodologies will be examined in a few American translations of Pedro Calderón de la Barca’s La vida es sueño.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the article is to analyze two Psalter translations, translation by Richard Rolle into English, and by Walanty Wróbel into Polish, in order to determine factors which may have influenced the translator’s choice of translation techniques. Subsequent sections describe the sociolinguistic context of the times when the translations originated, the target language, as well as translation techniques used to obtain the target text. Medieval attitudes towards translated texts seem to have had almost no influence on the choice of a translation technique; thus, the author draws an elicit assumption that the translation style had no correlation with the cultural context, understood as a special attitude towards religious texts. The addressee had an influence on the final shape of translation, but they did not influence specific translation techniques used to render the text.

Full textAbstract:
Effective translation of figures of speech in persuasive texts is crucial but complicated. Different cultural worldviews may sometimes cause misunderstandings due to vagueness in language, which otherwise may be comprehended through context or contextual associations. This study will address the following research questions: which figures of speech are the most common in advertising discourse; which translation techniques and procedures are used to render the various figures of speech in small and large sized target countries; is there a relation between country size, as measured by population, and the adaptation level of international marketing campaigns to the intended audience. The authors of the study hypothesise that international advertising campaigns are adapted through translation to a lesser degree in small sized target countries and vice versa, in large sized countries. The findings of the current study show that most probably there are other factors affecting the choice of translation techniques in audiovisual advertisements.

Full textAbstract:
Cancer is a major killer disease caused by uncontrolled growth and invasion of cells. Apoptosis is the cell's natural mechanism of death, which maintains tissue homeostasis. Any mutation that disturbs the apoptotic pathway leads to deregulated proliferation, resistance, and evasion of apoptosis. This evasion is one of the hallmarks of malignant developments. Apoptosis takes place via two distinct pathways i.e. the intrinsic and the extrinsic pathways. These pathways use cleaved caspases to execute apoptosis which in turn cleave many downstream proteins to kill the cells. They can also be inhibited through various means that include up-regulation of anti-apoptotic and down-regulation of pro-apoptotic factors. The authors here aim to impart a comprehensive understanding of the biochemical characteristics of these pathways that render scientists target these pathways and assess apoptosis restoring abilities of the novel drugs and natural products for cancer treatment.

This chapter reports on an international telecollaboration involving translation of published materials by students in a journalism course in Greece, followed by review and editing of the translations by students in an international technical writing course in the U.S. A key component of the collaboration was dialogue between the two parties about how best to render the meaning of the text in the source language when translated into the target language. Analysis of the collaboration's results revealed that three types of comments were found in the students' correspondence: translation decisions affecting the English used, translation decisions affecting the journalistic style, and translation decisions related to cultural references in the source texts. The comments helped students minimize misunderstandings and clarify meanings that arose in the drafts and enabled both parties to achieve clear, well-written texts. The collaboration increased students' language and trans-cultural awareness and contributed jointly to producing work at the level expected by professionals.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the elaborate web of neoliberal networks through which the German state renders its targets visible and knowable, often with an efficacy that police and policing could never hope to match, and how the capacity of these nonviolent forms of state mimesis to transact in knowledge rests on the manufacturing of opaqueness and illegibility. In particular, the chapter considers how state agents and technologies of knowing contrast sharply with the clandestine ambivalence of both police informants and neo-Nazi policemen. It also analyzes how street social workers embodied some of the mutations of governance under neoliberalism, focusing on their role in the neoliberal state's surveillance of young right-wing extremists. It concludes with a discussion of the constitutive dilemmas that haunt the entire field of the management of hate in Germany and that render the social workers' task riddled with contradictions.

Full textAbstract:
Advances in ubiquitous displays and wireless communications have fueled the emergence of exciting mobile graphics applications including 3D virtual product catalogs, 3D maps, security monitoring systems and mobile games. Current trends that use cameras to capture geometry, material re?ectance and other graphics elements mean that very high resolution inputs are accessible to render extremely photorealistic scenes. However, captured graphics content can be many gigabytes in size, and must be simpli?ed before they can be used on small mobile devices, which have limited resources, such as memory, screen size and battery energy. Scaling and converting graphics content to a suitable rendering format involves running several software tools, and selecting the best resolution for target mobile device is often done by trial and error, which all takes time. Wireless errors can also affect transmitted content and aggressive compression is needed for low-bandwidth wireless networks. Most rendering algorithms are currently optimized for visual realism and speed, but are not resource or energy ef?cient on a mobile device. This chapter focuses on the improvement of rendering performance by reducing the impacts of these problems with UbiWave, an end-to-end framework to enable real time mobile access to high resolution graphics using wavelets. The framework tackles the issues including simpli?cation, transmission, and resource ef?cient rendering of graphics content on mobile device based on wavelets by utilizing 1) a Perceptual Error Metric (PoI) for automatically computing the best resolution of graphics content for a given mobile display to eliminate guesswork and save resources, 2) Unequal Error Protection (UEP) to improve the resilience to wireless errors, 3) an Energy-ef?cient Adaptive Real-time Rendering (EARR) heuristic to balance energy consumption, rendering speed and image quality and 4) an Energy-ef?cient Streaming Technique. The results facilitate a new class of mobile graphics application which can gracefully adapt the lowest acceptable rendering resolution to the wireless network conditions and the availability of resources and battery energy on mobile device adaptively.

In this paper, we discuss methods to efficiently render stereoscopic scenes of large-scale point-clouds on inexpensive VR systems. Recently, terrestrial laser scanners are significantly improved, and they can easily capture tens of millions points in a short time from large fields, such as engineering plants. If 3D stereoscopic scenes of large-scale point-clouds could be easily rendered using inexpensive devices, they might be involved in casual product development phases. However, it is difficult to render a huge number of points using common PCs, because VR systems require high frame rates to avoid VR sickness. To solve this problem, we introduce an efficient culling method for large-scale point-clouds. In our method, we project all points onto angle-space panoramic images, whose axes are the azimuth and elevation angles of head directions. Then we eliminate occluded and redundant points according to the resolutions of devices. Once visible points are selected, they can be rendered in high frame rates. Visible points are updated when the user stays at a certain position to observe target objects. Since points are processed on image space in our method, preprocessing is very fast. In our experiments, our method could render stereoscopic views of large-scale point-clouds in high frame rates.

Full textAbstract:
A majority of the routing algorithms for unmanned aerial or ground vehicles rely on Global Positioning System (GPS) information for localization. However, disruption of GPS signals, by intention or otherwise, can render these algorithms ineffective. This article provides a way to address this issue by utilizing landmarks to aid localization in GPS-denied environments. Specifically, given a number of vehicles and a set of targets, we formulate a joint routing and landmark placement problem as a combinatorial optimization problem: to compute paths for the vehicles that traverse every target at least once, and to place landmarks to aid the vehicles in localization while each of them traverses its route, such that the sum of the traveling cost and the landmark placement cost is minimized. A mixed-integer linear program is presented, and a set of algorithms and heuristics are proposed for different approaches to address certain issues not covered by the linear program. The performance of each proposed algorithm is evaluated and compared through extensive computational and simulation results.

TheraDrive is an effective system for post-stroke upper extremity rehabilitation. This system uses off-the-shelf computer gaming wheels with force feedback to help reduce motor impairment and improve function in the arms of stroke survivors. Preliminary results show that the TheraDrive system lacks a robust mechanical linkage that can withstand the large forces exerted by patients, and it lacks a patient-specific adaptive controller to deliver personalized therapy. It is also not capable of delivering effective therapy to severely low-functioning patients. A new low-cost, high-force haptic robot with a single degree of freedom has been developed to address these concerns. The resulting TheraDrive consists of an actuated hand crank with a compliant transmission. Actuation is provided by a brushed DC motor, geared to output up to 23 kgf at the end effector. To enable a human to interact with this system safely, a special compliant element was developed to double as a failsafe torque limiter. A set of strain gauges in the handle of the crank are used to determine the interaction forces between human and robot for use by the robot’s impedance controller. The impedance controller is used to render a one-dimensional force field that attracts or repels the end effector from a moving target point that the human must track during therapy exercises. As exercises are performed, an adaptive controller monitors patient performance and adjusts the force field accordingly. This allows the robot to compensate for gravity, variable mechanical advantage, limited range of motion, and other factors. More importantly, the adaptive controller ensures that exercises are difficult but doable, which is important for maintaining patient motivation. Experiments with a computer model of human and robot show the adaptive controller’s ability to maintain difficulty of exercises after a period of initial calibration.

El 30 de noviembre de 2011 el periódico El Mundo publica la noticia: «Así será el nuevo Palacio de Congresos de Valencia» diseñado por Norman Foster. Un escaso texto y un par de imágenes sintéticas (render) ilustran la noticia. Poco interés podría suscitarnos la misma si no rescatamos las imágenes de archivo en torno al Palacio de Congresos de Valencia; desde 1992 —fecha por el que establece el encargo ˈa dedoˈ que la alcaldesa Rita Barberá firmó con Sir Norman Foster— hasta 1998 (seis años más tarde) cuando aparece un amplio reportaje de la inauguración del edificio realizado por José Aleixandre del periódico Levante bajo el titular: «El Rey ve en el palacio de Foster un símbolo de la nueva Valencia». ¿Qué acontecía pues la noticia del periódico El Mundo en el año 2011? La futura ampliación que nunca llegó a ejecutarse y de la que a fecha de hoy, es conocida por todos el final de esta historia. Ahora bien, si la noticia en torno a la ampliación del Palacio de Congresos ha quedado (hoy por hoy) en el deseo que marcó su existencia a través de una imagen (render), este hecho nos puede hacer reflexionar sobre el posible efecto que la aparición de la imagen en los medios pudiera generar con el paso del tiempo. Esta reaparición en formato imagen evoca a la memoria en torno al edificio, pero también imputa en cierto modo a todos los procesos de gestión urbanística que desde los años ´90 hasta la fecha, han acontecido en la ciudad. Hablamos en definitiva de todo aquel pasado que un render (ni siquiera una realidad existente) puede provocar y traer a nuestro presente. Un efecto punctum que llamaría Barthes, o lo que es lo mismo, un cierto movimiento de conciencias y de estados del pasado que vuelven a través de un efecto visual al presente, mediante este render-punctum. Este poder que tiene la imagen en ciertos contextos, de ejercer en sí misma como herramienta de pensamiento, este viaje al pasado en los estados de la ciudad, ayuda a repensarla para mejorarla. De hecho, estos estados de la cuestión, estas escenas fijas sobre las que pensar, tal y como ejercen en la sociología visual, crean un observatorio urbano improvisado, y desde ese mirar prestando atención que tanto demandó Berger, abren reflexiones sobre la ciudad a través de las imágenes. Son muchas las imágenes en la actualidad que generan nostalgia hacia una Valencia que podría haber sido, y no por el deseo de la arquitectura y de la construcción que muestra el render, sino por poner sobre la mesa la importancia de generar un ojo sociológico (Bourdier) urbano que incida directamente sobre las necesidades reales de la ciudad y los ciudadanos. El caso del Palacio de Congresos es tan sólo un ejemplo que se suma a la imagen-falla de la Torre de Comunicaciones no construida de Santiago Calatrava, a la imagen escala 1:1 de la arquitectura del Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe —cerrado, y sin presupuesto para la investigación, a la vista aérea de Google Earth que muestra las 170 crestas de hierro del Ágora posadas y abandonadas, hasta los renders de los rascacielos de acceso a la ciudad. El render, la imagen, remueve y provoca el cuestionamiento en la gestión de la ciudad.

Abstract A major hindrance to dynamics and control of flexible robot manipulators is the deficiency of its inherent damping. Damping enhancement, therefore, should result in lower vibration amplitudes, shorter settling times, and improvement of system stability. Since the bulk of robot vibrations is attributed to joint compliance, it is a prudent strategy to design joints with sufficient inherent damping. In this article, a method is proposed to estimate critical damping at each joint and identify the joint that should be targeted for design with sufficient built-in damping. The target joint identification process requires that a n-joint robot system is divided into n-subsystems. Subsystem i includes the compliance of joint i and the inertia of the succeeding links, joint mechanisms, and payload. An equivalent single degree of freedom torsional model is devised and the natural frequency and critical damping is evaluated for each subsystem. The estimated critical damping at the joints are used to determine the elastodynamic response of the entire robot system from a model that includes joint compliance, shear deformation, rotary inertia, and geometric stiffness. The response revealed the following conclusion: The joint of the manipulator that would result in lower amplitudes of vibrations and shorter settling times when designed with sufficient built-in damping is the one that renders a subsystem whose natural frequency is the lowest of all subsystems comprising the robot.

Full textAbstract:
In order to investigate the rounding process of high precision centerless grinding in time domain reliably and predictably, a virtual machine design approach is essential particularly towards 0.1–0.3μm roundness precision. The virtual machine system presented in this paper is developed through high-level integration of the machine characteristics, workpiece rounding mechanism and their intrinsic correlation. In this system, the primary elements affecting the workpiece roundness regeneration, including kinematics, dynamics and control of the machine, grinding dynamics and machining conditions, are integrated into the high precision virtual centerless grinding to render the rounding process, evaluate the machine performance and optimize grinding strategies accordingly. An application case study on virtual machining of the targeted workpiece roundness 0.1μm is provided to present the implementation perspectives of the virtual machine system for high precision centerless grinding.

Full textAbstract:
Virtual Reality (VR) applications provide an immersive experience when using panoramic images that contain a 360-degree view of the scene. Currently, the equirectangular image format is the widely used pattern to represent these panoramic images. The development of a virtual reality viewer of panoramic images should consider several parameters that define the quality of the rendered image. Such parameters include resolution configurations, texture-to-objects mappings and deciding from different rendering approach, but to select the optimal value of these parameters, visual quality analysis is required. In this work, we propose a tool integrated within Unity editor to automate this quality assessment using different settings for the visualization of equirectangular images. We compare the texture mapping of a skybox with a procedural sphere and a cubemap using full-reference objective metrics for Image Quality Analysis (IQA). Based on the assessment results, the tool decides how the final image will be rendered at the target device to produce a visually pleasing and high-quality image.

A client-centered approach to reproductive health: A trainer's manual. Population Council, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh16.1015.
Full textAbstract:
This training manual grew out of a project to improve the quality of care rendered by public-sector providers of reproductive health services. Implemented by the Population Council in collaboration with the Ministries of Population, Welfare, and Health, in Pakistan, the project extended beyond improving the quality of care provided by family planning workers and incorporated health workers who provided maternal and child health services. The success of all efforts made by the service delivery system in attracting and keeping clients depends upon the content and quality of interaction when the client comes in contact with the provider—whether the client is visiting a clinic or being visited by a community-based worker at home. To offer good quality of care, the provider should treat the client with dignity and respect, assess her reproductive health needs by asking questions rather than making assumptions based on her profile, and help her negotiate a solution appropriate to her circumstances. This training manual is oriented toward improving providers’ interpersonal skills. Emphasis is placed on the client and helping her meet her own needs rather than on meeting artificial goals or targets.

National report 2009-2019 - Rural NEET in Hungary. OST Action CA 18213: Rural NEET Youth Network: Modeling the risks underlying rural NEETs social exclusion, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.15847/cisrnyn.nrhu.2020.12.
Full textAbstract:
In Hungary, NEET Youth are faced with many problems: social exclusion; lack of opportunities (e.g., education, health, infrastructure, public transport, labour market conditions); low so-cio-economic status; and, a lack of relationships outside the enclosed settlements. In Hungary, the most frequent risk factors are: a socio-economically disadvantageous envi-ronment; low levels of education and schooling problems; lack of proper housing; financial problems; learning difficulties; dissatisfaction with the school; socio-emotional disorders; delinquency; health problems; homelessness; and, drug or alcohol abuse. NEET Youth are fa-cing with this multi-dimensional difficulties, regional disparities and a lack of proper services.The general employment statistics have been improving in Hungary since 2010. The emplo-yment rate of the 15-39-year-old population has increased from 53.0% to 62.5% between 2009 - 2019. The employment rate improved in every type of settlement/area. The improve-ment can be attributed to the community work in the marginalised regions micro-regions and settlements. The NEET rate shows a considerable improvement of nearly 40% between 2009 and 2019 in the urban environment for all age groups. A slight improvement can be detected in the towns and urban environment, which amounts to 25% for all age groups between 2009 and 2019. However special services and targeted programmes are required to make a diffe-rence for NEET Youth.
