Full textAbstract:
Causative morphology has been associated with either the introduction of an event of causation or the introduction of a causer argument. However, morphological causatives are mono-eventive, casting doubt on the notion that causatives fundamentally add a causing event. On the other hand, in some languages the causative morpheme is closer to the verb root than would be expected if the causative head is responsible for introducing the causer. Drawing on evidence primarily from Tagalog and Halkomelem, I argue that the syntactic configuration for morphological causatives involves Voice over Voice, and that languages differ in whether their ‘causative marker’ spells out the higher Voice, the lower Voice or both.

The theme of this special issue is “Jesus’ Sayings in the Life of the Early Church.” I wish to expand the theme slightly to “Jesus’ Sayings and Deeds in the Life and Appeal of the Early Church.” I add the word “deeds” because the two concepts of words and deeds are intimately linked in the classical tradition and the culture in which Christianity arose. I have added the word “appeal” because this article will present a chain of events indicating how the words and deeds of Jesus, as emulated by Christians, strongly appealed to the Greco-Roman world.

Full textAbstract:
This article investigates the phenomenon of inflection by intersecting formatives, that is to say, where an exponence is encoded by a combination of independently distributed phonological increments. Formative independence is defined in terms of conditional entropy. The verb inflection system of Murrinhpatha, an Aboriginal language of northern Australia, is analysed as a particularly complex example of intersecting formatives, and in general we can say that inflectional exponence in this language is highly irregular or unpredictable. Recent information-theoretic approaches to morphology provide us with methods for formalising and measuring the unpredictability of Murrinhpatha verb inflection. We add a distinct formalism that models the probability of correct inflectional prediction given incomplete knowledge of the inflectional paradigms in the language. We argue that this is a particularly relevant model for Murrinhpatha speaker/learners, because the language has a small, closed class of finite verb lexemes, most of which have their own idiosyncratic inflectional paradigm. There are not productively applied inflectional classes. In this model of inflectional predictability, intersecting formatives are in some cases the only chance a learner/speaker has of predicting the correct form.

Full textAbstract:
The rhetorical language is one of the miraculous matters in the Holy Quran and the term ‘fruit’ iseloquently used in the Holy Quran. In this research, the analytical method has been followed that attempts to make use of statistical analysis of the word ‘fruit’ as mentioned in the Holy Quran. This research aims to draw special attention to the significances of the word ‘fruit’ in the Holy Quran and to clarify what the place of revelation of surahs, the context of verses and the addressee could add to the connotations of the word 'fruit'. Accordingly, two responses have been adopted according to the meanings of the word ‘fruit’ to achieve the aims, first, connotations of the word ‘fruit’ as the sweet and juicy part of a plant, second, connotations of the word ‘fruit’ as useful crops and others. Anyway, the results show that the word ‘fruit’ is foremost used to indicate the reward of the people of Paradise and to indicate Allah’s ability in creating, then respectively comes the others. In addition to, with reference to the place of revelation and the addressee, the results bring to light that these things add extra information to the connotations and make the word ‘fruit’ more meaningful. Finally, the results display that the connotations of the word ‘fruit’ can sometimes be understood within the same context where the word is mentioned in and it is necessary to refer to previous contexts to grasp the connotations at other times.

Full textAbstract:
In considering word formation in language development, there appear to be two central issues which can broadly be characterized as questions relating to (i) productivity, and (ii) constraints. This paper reviews one of the renowned articles which involving the theory of level-ordering that has three levels within the lexicon, children, recognize high-frequency words than low-frequency words written by Peter Gordon (1989), entitled "Levels of Affixation in the Acquisition of English Morphology." This study has three untimed lexical-decision experiments which were carried out with 5- through 9-year-olds of native speakers of English and found general support for a systematic relation between productivity and level assignment. The aim of this paper is to make sure the readers would understand what the article's researcher try to explain about the word-formation such as stem, the stem which add affixes of Level 1, stem which adds affixes of Level 2, and stem which add affixes of Level 3. Moreover, this article's references are accurate (valid) and well-argued. This article is highly recommended for word formation in language development because the researcher stated that children might have a significant part in this process. Therefore, this paper seen the word-formation will be rich in language development depends on how often people actively create words, for example, by combining stems and affixes in much the same way that they generate sentences.

Full textAbstract:
The study investigates the impact of glottal elements before word-initial vowels on the speed of processing of the phrases taken from natural continuous speech. In many languages a word beginning with a vowel can be preceded by a glottal stop or a short period of creaky voice. However, languages differ in the extent of use and functions of this glottalization: it may be used to mark the word boundary, for instance, or to add special prominence to the word. The aim of the experiment was to find out whether the presence of the glottal element can influence reaction times in a word-monitoring paradigm. Users of different languages - Slovak and Czech learners of English, as well as native speakers of English - were participating in perception testing so that the influence of the mother tongue could be determined. The results confirm the effect of both glottalization and the L1 of the listeners. In addition, a significant effect of test item manipulations was found. Although the phrases with added or deleted glottal stops displayed no obvious acoustic artefacts, they produced longer reaction times than items with naturally present or absent glottalizations. We believe that this finding underlines the importance of inherent stress patterns, whose alterations lead to the increase in processing load.

Full textAbstract:
In this article, the authors propose a segmentation-free word spotting in handwritten document images using a Bag of Visual Words (BoVW) framework based on the co-occurrence histogram of oriented gradient (Co-HOG) descriptor. Initially, the handwritten document is represented using visual word vectors which are obtained based on the frequency of occurrence of Co-HOG descriptor within local patches of the document. The visual word representation vector does not consider their spatial location and spatial information helps to determine a location exclusively with visual information when the different location can be perceived as the same. Hence, to add spatial distribution information of visual words into the unstructured BoVW framework, the authors adopted spatial pyramid matching (SPM) technique. The performance of the proposed method evaluated using popular datasets and it is confirmed that the authors' method outperforms existing segmentation free word spotting techniques.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractWord puzzles and the problem of their representations in logic languages have received considerable attention in the last decade (Ponnuruet al. 2004; Shapiro 2011; Baral and Dzifcak 2012; Schwitter 2013). Of special interest is the problem of generating such representations directly from natural language (NL) or controlled natural language (CNL). An interesting variation of this problem, and to the best of our knowledge, scarcely explored variation in this context, is when the input information is inconsistent. In such situations, the existing encodings of word puzzles produce inconsistent representations and break down. In this paper, we bring the well-known type of paraconsistent logics, calledAnnotated Predicate Calculus(APC) (Kifer and Lozinskii 1992), to bear on the problem. We introduce a new kind of non-monotonic semantics for APC, calledconsistency preferred stable modelsand argue that it makes APC into a suitable platform for dealing with inconsistency in word puzzles and, more generally, in NL sentences. We also devise a number of general principles to help the user choose among the different representations of NL sentences, which might seem equivalent but, in fact, behave differently when inconsistent information is taken into account. These principles can be incorporated into existing CNL translators, such as Attempto Controlled English (ACE) (Fuchset al. 2008) and PENG Light (White and Schwitter 2009). Finally, we show that APC with the consistency preferred stable model semantics can be equivalently embedded in ASP with preferences over stable models, and we use this embedding to implement this version of APC in Clingo (Gebseret al. 2011) and its Asprin add-on (Brewkaet al. 2015).

Full textAbstract:
A major problem in resource-constrained areas is the high mortality rate among children. Child birth registrations in these areas are non-existent or done using an outdated system, this makes it hard for doctors and nurses working in such areas to get an overview of the health status of children. The lack of information about the health status of children in resource-constrained areas leads to many children not receiving the vaccinations and vitamins needed in order to survive. Using technology designed to assist the doctors and the nurses gives them the tools to be able to receive the information needed in order to take the necessary steps to prevent high child mortality rate. To improve the health care in a resource–constrained area like Uganda, the non-profit organization Shifo has developed software called "MyChild", were the nurses in Uganda can register the health status of the children in a database. The software helps the doctors and the nurses keep track of the treatment status of the children and thereby enable them to administer the correct vaccines and vitamins, thereby increasing the children’s survival rate. This report describes how an add-on was created for the MyChild system. The add-on was developed as a stand–alone application and was primarily designed to be used as a simple message delivery system. Enabling the functionality to deliver work related information from the administration or software related updates from the developers to the nurses, through the MyChild system. The add-on was developed by using selective parts of the project development method, Scrum, which was adapted for the use of a smaller group consisting of two developers. With Sprint, tasks and continuous updates through meetings, the project allowed for active change in the goal outline. Using a semi structured interview method, feedback about the add-on was received and the answers from the interviews could then be analyzed, thereby inspiring further advance of the add-on. The result from the presented work is a first version prototype that can send messages from a database to be shown in a rectangular window along with a corresponding picture. The prototype is a stand–alone application that can be modified to show the messages with different corresponding pictures and during different time durations. The main functionality of the first version prototype fulfills the requirements set by the customer, Shifo, but its implementation into the Shifo system is not presented in this thesis. The study through interviews presented in this thesis show that the message delivery add-on could be a useful addition, not only in health care, but also in other professions. Its functionality gives the possibility for users to receive work related information without it being a distraction or a hindrance in their daily work.<br>Ett stort problem i resursbegränsade områden är de höga dödsiffrorna bland barn. Registreringar av nyfödda i dessa områden är obefintliga eller gjorda med uråldrade och omoderna metoder. Det gör det svårt för läkare och sjuksköterskor att få en korrekt helhetsbild av hälsotillståndet bland barn i området som i sin tur leder många barn inte får de vaccin eller vitaminer som de behöver för att kunna överleva. För att hjälpa läkare och sjuksköterskor förhindra dödsantalet bland barn i resursbegränsade områden skapas verktyg med hjälp av teknologin. Den ideella organisationen Shifo har därför utvecklat en mjukvara som ska förbättra hälsovården i resursbegränsade länder som Uganda. Mjukvaran heter MyChild och genom den ska sjuksköterskor i Uganda i en databas kunna registrera nyfödda barn samt ta del av barnens hälsoinformation. Genom mjukvaran kommer sjukköterskorna ha möjligheten att se hälsotillståndet för varje barn och på så sätt kunna ge dem de vaccinationer och vitaminer som de behöver för att kunna överleva. Denna rapport beskriver tillvägagångssätt för att utveckla ett tillägg för Shifos programvara MyChild. Tillägget har blivit utvecklat som en självständig programvara och kommer i första hand att användas som ett enkelt meddelande system. Applikationstilläggets främsta funktion är att via MyChild mjukvaran kunna skicka arbetsrelaterad information från administratörer till sjuksköterskorna. Applikationstilläget utvecklades genom att använda selektiva delar av arbetsmetoden för mjukvaruprojekt, Scrum, som blivit anpassade för användningen i en mindre grupp på två medlemmar. Med hjälp av "sprints", "tasks" och kontinuerliga informations uppdateringar genom möten lät sig projektets mål aktivt formas utefter arbetets gång. För att bilda sig en uppfattning om användarnas åsikter om applikationstillägget och hur den kunde förbättras, gjordes analyser från svaren av semi strukturerade intervjuer. Resultaten i denna uppsats presenterar en första version av en prototyp som via en databas skickar meddelanden som visas i ett rektangulärt fönster tillsammans med en tillhörande bild. Prototypen är en självständig mjukvara som kan ändras till att visa olika bilder beroende på vilket meddelande som visas samt under olika tidsperioder. Huvudfunktionaliteten för prototypen når upp till de krav som Shifo har ställt men implementation i MyChild mjukvaran har inte presenterats i uppsatsen. Arbetet som presenteras i den här uppsatsen visar att meddelandetillägget kan vara ett användbart tillägg i även andra branscher än endast inom hälsovård. Funktionaliteten för applikationstillägget ger användarna möjligheten att ta emot arbetsrelaterad information utan att störas eller bli hindrade i det dagliga arbetet.

Skolgången kan i många fall vara fylld av utmaningar för elever med ADHD och ADD. Detta är något som i vår tid utforskas mer och mer. Något som återstår att undersöka är hur arbetet med ADHD och ADD i skolan egentligen ser ut. Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att studera hur skolkuratorer, lärare och specialpedagoger bemöter och arbetar med barn utifrån behoven som förekommer kring ADHD/ADD-problematik samt hur detta förhåller sig till tidigare forskning. Studien har utgått ifrån en kvalitativ ansats genom intervjuer med respondenter från ovannämnda urval. Vilka strategier som våra respondenter tillämpar i vardagen för att hjälpa barnen ifråga, vad deras uppfattning och kunskap om diagnoserna är samt hur samverkan fungerar inom och utanför organisationen är tre centrala aspekter i studien. Resultatet av denna studie var att mycket av de strategier för bemötande av och arbete med elever med ADHD/ADD som togs upp under intervjuerna var synliga i tidigare forskning. Intervjuerna har analyserats utifrån Michael Lipskys (1980) begrepp street-level bureaucrats, eller gräsrotsbyråkrater. Respondenternas bild av ämnet var varierande då vissa fokuserade på de positiva aspekterna av diagnoserna medan andra fokuserade mer på problematiken som kopplas till ADHD/ADD. Nästan samtliga respondenter upplevde att kunskapen om ämnet var adekvat på deras skola för att bemöta barnens behov. Samverkan inom skolorna var vanligt förekommande och ansågs fungera väl medan samverkan med andra organisationer ansågs vara bristfällig eller icke-existerande. För framtida forskning kan det vara av intresse att undersöka hur högskoleutbildning kan utvecklas för att förse information om ADHD/ADD då detta har funnits vara bristfälliga enligt studiens respondenter.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, paper documents are still frequently used and exchanged in our daily life. To safely manage confidential paper information such as medical and financial records has increasingly become a challenge. If a patient's medical diagnosis get stolen or dumped without shredding, his or her private information would be leaked. Some companies and organizations do not pay enough attention to the problem, letting their customers suffer the loss. In the thesis, I designed a hybrid system to solve this problem effectively and economically. This hybrid system integrates physical document properties with digital security technology, which brings in a revolutionary idea for processing sensitive paper information in modern world. Based on that, I focus on different QR code sizes and versions, compare their attributes and relations, and find the best QR code size and version according to data amount in a given area. Finally I implement them in CryptoPaper word plugin, using several test cases to test the functionality of it.

Project<br>Em Julho de 2011 lancei a marca Leg Bag cujo conceito é: “Acessórios de moda funcionais e práticos, constituídos por bolsas para guardar e transportar objetos pessoais, ficando com as mãos livres”.
Tudo começou porque não gosto de usar carteira e sempre que usava um vestido nunca tinha onde guardar o telemóvel. Questionei algumas amigas e descobri que muitas tinham o mesmo problema, isto é, não aproveitavam bem uma saída à noite de vestido porque não tinham onde guardar os seus pertences em segurança.
Surgiu então uma oportunidade e tive uma ideia. Criei um acessório de moda sexy, funcional e prático, para guardar objetos pessoais e que pode ser usado em diferentes situações: uma liga constituída por bolsas e elástico para se ajustar à perna.
Foi feito um protótipo, que foi testado entre amigos, e cheguei à conclusão que funcionava bem mas a aparência não era a melhor. Então, aperfeiçoei-o e ficou muito melhor!
Esta ideia inovadora e original deu origem à criação de um objeto que veio acrescentar valor ao mundo dos acessórios de moda. A marca cresceu e criei mais acessórios que seguem o mesmo conceito e que podem ser utilizados em diferentes situações.
Para desenvolver boas ideias é necessário definir o target e para expandir a ideia deve-se ajustar o marketing mix a este target (raparigas jovens/adultas que gostam de se sentir confortáveis sem carteira). Os produtos são funcionais e práticos, o preço é “low cost” e o Facebook foi usado para distribuir e promover a marca.<br>In July 2011 I’ve launched the brand Leg Bag, whose concept is: “Fashion accessories functional and practical, with bags to store and carry personal belongings, keeping your hands free”.
It all started because I don’t like to carry handbags and every time I wear a dress I missed a place to keep my mobile.
I inquired some girl friends and found out that many of them had the same problem. These girls couldn’t enjoy a night out in a dress because they had no place to keep their belongings safety.
An opportunity arose and an idea emerged. I created a sexy fashion accessory, functional and practical, to hold belongings and be used in different situations: a “pocket strap” to place around the leg.
I built a prototype, tested it between friends and concluded it worked well but the image was not the best. So, I refined the prototype and it became much better!
This innovative and original idea resulted on the creation of an object that added value to the world of fashion accessories.
The brand grew and I created more accessories based on the same concept that can be used in different situations.
To develop good ideas it’s necessary to define the target market and to expand the idea, we should adjust the marketing mix to this target (young-adult ladies who want to feel comfortable without handbag). Products are functional and practical, concept of price is “low cost” and Facebook was used to place and promote the brand.

Full textAbstract:
The Jesuits devoted themselves to preaching the word of God, administering the sacraments, and spreading the faith by missions in both Europe and newly discovered lands abroad. But, in 1773, under intense pressure from the monarchs of Europe, the papacy suppressed the Society of Jesus, an act that reverberated from Europe to the Americas and Southeast Asia. This book argues that Reform Catholicism, not a secular Enlightenment, provided the justification for Catholic kings to suppress a society instituted by the papacy. Spanning the years from the mid-sixteenth century to the onset of the French Revolution, and the Jesuit presence from China to Brazil, this is the only single volume in English to make coherent sense of the series of expulsions that add up to what was arguably the most important religious event in Europe of the time, resulting in the secularization of tens of thousands of Jesuits.

This chapter summarises the discussions and proposals of the previous chapters without attempting to add any additional arguments. It highlights the importance of tackling the complex issues of Internet jurisdictions, not only for the disciplines of private international law and public international law (as they are traditionally defined), but for society more broadly. Emphasis is also placed on the need for immediate action. In addition, it links the discussion of international law concepts to the Swedish word lagom, said to stem from Viking-era drinking etiquette. It is suggested that the idea of ‘lagom jurisdiction’ nicely brings together much of the arguments presented in this book.

AbstractThe origin semantics for transducers was proposed in 2014, and it led to various characterizations and decidability results that are in contrast with the classical semantics. In this paper we add a further decidability result for characterizing transducers that are close to one-way transducers in the origin semantics. We show that it is decidable whether a non-deterministic two-way word transducer can be resynchronized by a bounded, regular resynchronizer into an origin-equivalent one-way transducer. The result is in contrast with the usual semantics, where it is undecidable to know if a non-deterministic two-way transducer is equivalent to some one-way transducer.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn this paper, we describe our experience incorporating gradual types in a statically typed functional language with Hindley-Milner style type inference. Where most gradually typed systems aim to improve static checking in a dynamically typed language, we approach it from the opposite perspective and promote dynamic checking in a statically typed language. Our approach provides a glimpse into how languages like SML and OCaml might handle gradual typing. We discuss our implementation and challenges faced—specifically how gradual typing rules apply to our representation of composite and recursive types. We review the various implementations that add dynamic typing to a statically typed language in order to highlight the different ways of mixing static and dynamic typing and examine possible inspirations while maintaining the gradual nature of our type system. This paper also discusses our motivation for adding gradual types to our language, and the practical benefits of doing so in our industrial setting.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter shows that forms of experience and memory are not mere effects but constitutive processes of histospheres. Accordingly, the first section explores the complex interrelationship between film, body, and memory. It argues that embodied memories make it possible to experience a film’s historical world as a physical reality, and add a bodily experiential dimension to the mise-en-histoire. Building on these considerations, the second section combines them with theories of media-generated memories: Histospheres draw not just on existing embodied memories and conceptions of history, but are actively involved in producing personal experiences with identity-forging potential. The third section examines the workings of reminiscence triggers, whereby filmic figurations link the film’s historical world to the spectator’s embodied memories and produce a kind of déjà vu effect.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter details the coauthored 1965 essay “Word and Film” by Alexander Kluge, Edgar Reitz, and Wilfried Reinke, which was originally published when all three taught at the Ulm School of Design's trailblazing film department. Words can interact with film in a hundred different ways. Add to this the diversity of conceptions of film. For every one of these conceptions, for every kind of literary expression, the issue presents itself differently and demands a different answer. Walter Hagemann argues that film does not raise any new questions, “because it does not speak a new language; rather it conveys the old language through a new medium. This is the real reason for the backlash which the language of film suffered with the advent of sound.” The authors of the essay then recognize the need to examine how the old language relates to the old film, how new forms of language available today relate to new concepts of film, and how the interplay of word and film may produce new, nonliterary forms of language.

Full textAbstract:
Ever since Horace defended his right to “add a few words to the stock,” and a character in Shakespeare’s 1607 play “Coriolanus” proclaimed “So shall my Lungs Coine words till their decay,” word creation has been a subject of great interest, and controversy as well. What was once considered a dubious practice has become prestigious. “Coined by” is a prized phrase to have before one’s name. The supply of neologisms therefore far outstrips demand. Many are coined, few are chosen. Coined words are like salmon eggs: few hatch, fewer mature, and only a handful make it upstream. The ways in which they are created is surprisingly anarchic, analogous to the chaotic process by which the solar system was born. One might even postulate a Chaos Theory of Word Creation in which usable neologisms pop up unpredictably, strike a chord, then take their place in the verbosphere.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, Winnicott discusses how Democracy is a ‘society well-adjusted to its healthy individual members’. To study the emotional development of society is to study the individual and the element of maturity. A community is never composed of 100% of healthy, mature individuals, and it is important to know what proportion of mature individuals is necessary if there is to be an innate democratic tendency, or what proportion of antisocial individuals a society can contain without submergence of innate democratic tendency. The democratic burden falls on those who are maturing as individuals, and who can add a social sense to their personal development. To some extent, in the democratic election mature people elect temporary parents, which means that to some extent the electors remain children. Connected to this is a fear of women, which has led to so few women in positions of political power. Winnicott concludes that the democratic tendency can be strengthened by a study of the psychology of social as well as of individual maturity.

A lifetime collection of microblogging messages captured from a microblogging account may be extracted from Twitter using NCapture (an add-on to Chrome and Internet Explorer); these short messages may be analyzed through NVivo and other data analysis and visualization software tools in order to highlight compressed-time gists (essences) of Twitter accounts for rapid assessment. This chapter provides an overview of how this work may be done and how the resulting word clouds, word trees, and tree maps may be analyzed for latent insights. This research approach may be applied to a range of social media platforms using the same software tools here (or using others that are publicly available). This chapter concludes with ideas for how to extend these methods.

Full textAbstract:
Word embeddings have attracted a lot of attention. On social media, each user’s language use can be significantly affected by the user’s friends. In this paper, we propose a socialized word embedding algorithm which can consider both user’s personal characteristics of language use and the user’s social relationship on social media. To incorporate personal characteristics, we propose to use a user vector to represent each user. Then for each user, the word embeddings are trained based on each user’s corpus by combining the global word vectors and local user vector. To incorporate social relationship, we add a regularization term to impose similarity between two friends. In this way, we can train the global word vectors and user vectors jointly. To demonstrate the effectiveness, we used the latest large-scale Yelp data to train our vectors, and designed several experiments to show how user vectors affect the results.

Full textAbstract:
With the growth of the internet, short texts such as tweets from Twitter, news titles from the RSS, or comments from Amazon have become very prevalent. Many tasks need to retrieve information hidden from the content of short texts. So ontology learning methods are proposed for retrieving structured information. Topic hierarchy is a typical ontology that consists of concepts and taxonomy relations between concepts. Current hierarchical topic models are not specially designed for short texts. These methods use word co-occurrence to construct concepts and general-special word relations to construct taxonomy topics. But in short texts, word cooccurrence is sparse and lacking general-special word relations. To overcome this two problems and provide an interpretable result, we designed a hierarchical topic model which aggregates short texts into long documents and constructing topics and relations. Because long documents add additional semantic information, our model can avoid the sparsity of word cooccurrence. In experiments, we measured the quality of concepts by topic coherence metric on four real-world short texts corpus. The result showed that our topic hierarchy is more interpretable than other methods.

Full textAbstract:
Neural Machine Translation (NMT) has drawn much attention due to its promising translation performance recently. However, several studies indicate that NMT often generates fluent but unfaithful translations. In this paper, we propose a method to alleviate this problem by using a phrase table as recommendation memory. The main idea is to add bonus to words worthy of recommendation, so that NMT can make correct predictions. Specifically, we first derive a prefix tree to accommodate all the candidate target phrases by searching the phrase translation table according to the source sentence.Then, we construct a recommendation word set by matching between candidate target phrases and previously translated target words by NMT. After that, we determine the specific bonus value for each recommendable word by using the attention vector and phrase translation probability. Finally,we integrate this bonus value into NMT to improve the translation results. The extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed methods obtain remarkable improvements over the strong attention based NMT.

Full textAbstract:
Language-modeling--based approaches to story plot generation attempt to construct a plot by sampling from a language model (LM) to predict the next character, word, or sentence to add to the story. LM techniques lack the ability to receive guidance from the user to achieve a specific goal, resulting in stories that don't have a clear sense of progression and lack coherence. We present a reward-shaping technique that analyzes a story corpus and produces intermediate rewards that are backpropagated into a pre-trained LM in order to guide the model toward a given goal. Automated evaluations show our technique can create a model that generates story plots which consistently achieve a specified goal. Human-subject studies show that the generated stories have more plausible event ordering than baseline plot generation techniques.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes a method for determining a digital representation of a remote sensing element using a novel and lower power method of analog to digital conversion [1]. This conversion process is most effective for low-frequency and very low current Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) sensing systems where the sensing element tags are powered by an inductively coupled carrier signal of fixed frequency. This method eliminates the need for a traditional, large and power-hungry Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). This approach is being developed for an orthopedic application that measures the invivo strain on titanium rods to help surgeons better understand the progress of fusion in spinal fusion surgery [2]. Previous work has been shown using the difference of two clocks for sending digital data from the reader to the tag [3], whereas this approach is optimized for sending digital data in the other direction, from tag to the reader. The sensor element may be a resistive or capacitive device integrated into an oscillator of variable frequency. This variable oscillation signal is then divided down and used as the time base to a frequency counter clocked by the recovered carrier signal. In recovering and using the carrier signal as an internal clock, an additional on chip oscillator is not necessary. The resultant value then undergoes additional post processing to add a unique identification string, a CRC check word, Manchester encoding, and Frequency-Shift Key (FSK) encoding for load modulation transmission [3,4].

Full textAbstract:
The analysis of generational differences has been a relevant topic in some social sciences for the last years. Happiness as a phenomenon has just recently become a focal point of psychologists. There has still been little research into determinants of happiness in different generations. In the research paper, the author explores the relationship between perceptions of happiness across generations and the values that accompany them. The study was carried out with the use of such methods as content-analysis, factor analysis, the technique of S. Schwartz, statistic methods. Main results: the main associations obtained for the stimulus word ‘happiness’ are highlighted and described; a comparison of the results from the factor analysis is given. The author comes to a generalised conclusion regarding the important difference in the understanding of happiness between generations X (the relevance of health) and Y (the relevance of an interesting life) and regarding the similarity of other notions of ‘happiness’ across generations. Differences in perceptions of happiness were found: for generation X it is health, for generation Y it is an interesting life. Both of the generation share the opinion that the most significant markers of human happiness are a healthy family, strong personal relationships, a job, a home and wealth. Safety and tranquillity are also important, but with the above, all setbacks are overcome as temporary obstacles that add to one’s sense of ‘happiness’. The hypothesis that perceptions of happiness are determined by different values due to intergenerational differences has been confirmed.

Full textAbstract:
Aim/Purpose: [This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the 2018 issue of the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology, Volume 15] This paper investigates the new technical skills that are needed for Data Engineering. Past research is compared to new research which creates a list of the 20 top tech-nical skills required by a Data Engineer. The growing availability of Data Engineering jobs is discussed. The research methodology describes the gathering of sample data and then the use of Pig and MapReduce on AWS (Amazon Web Services) to count occurrences of Data Engineering technical skills from 100 Indeed.com job advertisements in July, 2017. Background: A decade ago, Data Engineering relied heavily on the technology of Relational Database Management Sys-tems (RDBMS). For example, Grisham, P., Krasner, H., and Perry D. (2006) described an Empirical Soft-ware Engineering Lab (ESEL) that introduced Relational Database concepts to students with hands-on learning that they called “Data Engineering Education with Real-World Projects.” However, as seismic im-provements occurred for the processing of large distributed datasets, big data analytics has moved into the forefront of the IT industry. As a result, the definition for Data Engineering has broadened and evolved to include newer technology that supports the distributed processing of very large amounts of data (e.g. Hadoop Ecosystem and NoSQL Databases). This paper examines the technical skills that are needed to work as a Data Engineer in today’s rapidly changing technical environment. Research is presented that re-views 100 job postings for Data Engineers from Indeed (2017) during the month of July, 2017 and then ranks the technical skills in order of importance. The results are compared to earlier research by Stitch (2016) that ranked the top technical skills for Data Engineers in 2016 using LinkedIn to survey 6,500 peo-ple that identified themselves as Data Engineers. Methodology: A sample of 100 Data Engineering job postings were collected and analyzed from Indeed during July, 2017. The job postings were pasted into a text file and then related words were grouped together to make phrases. For example, the word “data” was put into context with other related words to form phrases such as “Big Data”, “Data Architecture” and “Data Engineering”. A text editor was used for this task and the find/replace functionality of the text editor proved to be very useful for this project. After making phrases, the large text file was uploaded to the Amazon cloud (AWS) and a Pig batch job using Map Reduce was leveraged to count the occurrence of phrases and words within the text file. The resulting phrases/words with occurrence counts was download to a Personal Computer (PC) and then was loaded into an Excel spreadsheet. Using a spreadsheet enabled the phrases/words to be sorted by oc-currence count and then facilitated the filtering out of irrelevant words. Another task to prepare the data involved the combination phrases or words that were synonymous. For example, the occurrence count for the acronym ELT and the occurrence count for the acronym ETL were added together to make an overall ELT/ETL occurrence count. ETL is a Data Warehousing acronym for Extracting, Transforming and Loading data. This task required knowledge of the subject area. Also, some words were counted in lower case and then the same word was also counted in mixed or upper case, thus producing two or three occur-rence counts for the same word. These different counts were added together to make an overall occur-rence count for the word (e.g. word occurrence counts for Python and python were added together). Fi-nally, the Indeed occurrence counts were sorted to allow for the identification of a list of the top 20 tech-nical skills needed by a Data Engineer. Contribution: Provides new information about the Technical Skills needed by Data Engineers. Findings: Twelve of the 20 Stitch (2016) report phrases/words that are highlighted in bold above matched the tech-nical skills mentioned in the Indeed research. I considered C, C++ and Java a match to the broader cate-gory of Programing in the Indeed data. Although the ranked order of the two lists did not match, the top five ranked technical skills for both lists are similar. The reader of this paper might consider the skills of SQL, Python, Hadoop/HDFS to be very important technical skills for a Data Engineer. Although the programming language R is very popular with Data Scientists, it did not make the top 20 skills for Data Engineering; it was in the overall list from Indeed. The R programming language is oriented towards ana-lytical processing (e.g. used by Data Scientists), whereas the Python language is a scripting and object-oriented language that facilitates the creation of Data Pipelines (e.g. used by Data Engineers). Because the data was collected one year apart and from very different data sources, the timing of the data collection and the different data sources could account for some of the differences in the ranked lists. It is worth noting that the Indeed research ranked list introduced the technical skills of Design Skills, Spark, AWS (Amazon Web Services), Data Modeling, Kafta, Scala, Cloud Computing, Data Pipelines, APIs and AWS Redshift Data Warehousing to the top 20 ranked technical skills list. The Stitch (2016) report that did not have matches to the Indeed (2017) sample data for Linux, Databases, MySQL, Business Intelligence, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Data Analysis and Unix. Although many of these Stitch top 20 technical skills were on the Indeed list, they did not make the top 20 ranked technical skills. Recommendations for Practitioners: Some of the skills needed for Database Technologies are transferable to Data Engineering. Recommendation for Researchers: None Impact on Society: There is not much peer reviewed literature on the subject of Data Engineering, this paper will add new information to the subject area. Future Research: I'm developing a Specialization in Data Engineering for the MS in Data Science degree at our university.

Designed as household-based assessments, citizen-led assessments (CLAs) are implemented by local organizations who assess children in their homes, thus reaching the most marginalized children, families, and communities, often in remote areas. CLAs add an essential piece of information for truly monitoring progress and help realistically represent the learning levels of all children – at national, regional, and global levels. By using simple tools and easy-to-understand reports, CLAs engage parents and community members in discussions about learning and help foster understanding of the importance of ensuring quality education through civil action. In this publication, members from organizations conducting CLAs in India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh provide an overview of the CLA model and illustrate a range of ways in which the model has been implemented in the four South Asian countries to monitor and improve learning. In all four countries, the initiative is known as the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER – a word that means ‘impact’ in three of these four countries. By design, ASER assesses foundational reading and numeracy skills.

Full textAbstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under five key headings: HUMANITY The Panel recommends recognition that research in this field should be geared towards the development of critical understandings of self and society in the modern world. Archaeological research into the modern past should be ambitious in seeking to contribute to understanding of the major social, economic and environmental developments through which the modern world came into being. Modern-world archaeology can add significantly to knowledge of Scotland’s historical relationships with the rest of the British Isles, Europe and the wider world. Archaeology offers a new perspective on what it has meant to be a modern person and a member of modern society, inhabiting a modern world. MATERIALITY The Panel recommends approaches to research which focus on the materiality of the recent past (i.e. the character of relationships between people and their material world). Archaeology’s contribution to understandings of the modern world lies in its ability to situate, humanise and contextualise broader historical developments. Archaeological research can provide new insights into the modern past by investigating historical trends not as abstract phenomena but as changes to real lives, affecting different localities in different ways. Archaeology can take a long-term perspective on major modern developments, researching their ‘prehistory’ (which often extends back into the Middle Ages) and their material legacy in the present. Archaeology can humanise and contextualise long-term processes and global connections by working outwards from individual life stories, developing biographies of individual artefacts and buildings and evidencing the reciprocity of people, things, places and landscapes. The modern person and modern social relationships were formed in and through material environments and, to understand modern humanity, it is crucial that we understand humanity’s material relationships in the modern world. PERSPECTIVE The Panel recommends the development, realisation and promotion of work which takes a critical perspective on the present from a deeper understanding of the recent past. Research into the modern past provides a critical perspective on the present, uncovering the origins of our current ways of life and of relating to each other and to the world around us. It is important that this relevance is acknowledged, understood, developed and mobilised to connect past, present and future. The material approach of archaeology can enhance understanding, challenge assumptions and develop new and alternative histories. Modern Scotland: Archaeology, the Modern past and the Modern present vi Archaeology can evidence varied experience of social, environmental and economic change in the past. It can consider questions of local distinctiveness and global homogeneity in complex and nuanced ways. It can reveal the hidden histories of those whose ways of life diverged from the historical mainstream. Archaeology can challenge simplistic, essentialist understandings of the recent Scottish past, providing insights into the historical character and interaction of Scottish, British and other identities and ideologies. COLLABORATION The Panel recommends the development of integrated and collaborative research practices. Perhaps above all other periods of the past, the modern past is a field of enquiry where there is great potential benefit in collaboration between different specialist sectors within archaeology, between different disciplines, between Scottish-based researchers and researchers elsewhere in the world and between professionals and the public. The Panel advocates the development of new ways of working involving integrated and collaborative investigation of the modern past. Extending beyond previous modes of inter-disciplinary practice, these new approaches should involve active engagement between different interests developing collaborative responses to common questions and problems. REFLECTION The Panel recommends that a reflexive approach is taken to the archaeology of the modern past, requiring research into the nature of academic, professional and public engagements with the modern past and the development of new reflexive modes of practice. Archaeology investigates the past but it does so from its position in the present. Research should develop a greater understanding of modern-period archaeology as a scholarly pursuit and social practice in the present. Research should provide insights into the ways in which the modern past is presented and represented in particular contexts. Work is required to better evidence popular understandings of and engagements with the modern past and to understand the politics of the recent past, particularly its material aspect. Research should seek to advance knowledge and understanding of the moral and ethical viewpoints held by professionals and members of the public in relation to the archaeology of the recent past. There is a need to critically review public engagement practices in modern-world archaeology and develop new modes of public-professional collaboration and to generate practices through which archaeology can make positive interventions in the world. And there is a need to embed processes of ethical reflection and beneficial action into archaeological practice relating to the modern past.

Full textAbstract:
The major US household travel surveys do not ask the right questions to understand mobility in Walkable Neighborhoods. Yet few subjects can be more important for sustainability and real economic growth based on all things of value, including sustainability, affordability, and quality of life. Walkable Neighborhoods are a system of land use, transportation, and transportation pricing. They are areas with attractive walking distances of residential and local business land uses of sufficient density to support enough business and transit, with mobility comparable to suburbia and without owning an auto. Mobility is defined as the travel time typically spent to reach destinations outside the home, not trips among other destinations that are not related to the home base. A home round trip returns home the same day, a way of defining routine trips based on the home location. Trip times and purposes, taken together, constitute travel time budgets and add up to total travel time in the course of a day. Furthermore, for Walkable Neighborhoods, the analysis focuses on the trips most important for daily mobility. Mismeasurement consists of including trips that are not real trips to destinations outside the home, totaling 48 percent of trips. It includes purposes that are not short trips functional for walk times and mixing of different trips into single purposes, resulting in even less useful data. The surveys do not separate home round trips from other major trip types such as work round trips and overnight trips. The major household surveys collect vast amounts of information without insight into the data needed for neighborhood sustainability. The methodology of statistics gets in the way of using statistics for the deeper insights we need. Household travel surveys need to be reframed to provide the information needed to understand and improve Walkable Neighborhoods. This research makes progress on the issue, but mismeasurement prevents a better understanding of the issue.

Full textAbstract:
As a result of the refugee reception crisis in 2015 the advocacy for increasing resettlement numbers in the overall refugee protection framework has gained momentum, as has research on resettlement to the EU. While the UNHCR purports resettlement as a durable solution for the international protection of refugees, resettlement programmes to the European Union are seen as a pillar of the external dimension of the EU’s asylum and migration policies and management. This paper presents and discusses the literature regarding the value transmissions taking place within these programmes. It reviews literature on the European resettlement process – ranging from the selection of refugees to be resettled, the information and training they receive prior to travelling to their new country of residence, their reception upon arrival, their placement and dispersal in the receiving state, as well as programs of private and community sponsorship. The literature shows that even if resettlement can be considered an external dimension of European migration policy, this process does not end at the border. Rather, resettlement entails particular forms of reception, placement and dispersal as well as integration practices that refugees are confronted with once they arrive in their resettlement country. These practices should thus be understood in the context of the resettlement regime as a whole. In this paper we map out where and how values (here understood as ideas about how something should be) and norms (expectations or rules that are socially enforced) are transmitted within this regime. ‘Value transmission’ is here understood in a broad sense, taking into account the values that are directly transmitted through information and education programmes, as well as those informing practices and actors’ decisions. Identifying how norms and values figure in the resettlement regime aid us in further understanding decision making processes, policy making, and the on-the-ground work of practitioners that influence refugees’ lives. An important finding in this literature review is that vulnerability is a central notion in international refugee protection, and even more so in resettlement. Ideas and practices regarding vulnerability are, throughout the resettlement regime, in continuous tension with those of security, integration, and of refugees’ own agency. The literature review and our discussion serve as a point of departure for developing further investigations into the external dimension of value transmission, which in turn can add insights into the role of norms and values in the making and un-making of (external) boundaries/borders.
