Análisis de los efectos a largo plazo de la nutrición precoz sobre el neurodesarrollo en los niños mediante técnicas de minería de datos: base de datos NUTRIMENTHE
No full text1. Las técnicas de minería de datos resultan de vital importancia a la hora de
descubrir conocimiento oculto en una base de datos de grandes dimensiones, teniendo en cuenta que la adquisición de datos ha
conllevado un gran esfuerzo, así como la cantidad de recursos destinados
a dicha labor.
2. Gracias al uso de reglas de asociación, se justifica el hecho de que el
tabaquismo materno durante la gestación puede influir en el desarrollo
conductual de los niños en edad escolar, por lo que resulta de vital
importancia fomentar la políticas anti-tabaco especialmente para
concienciar a las mujeres en edad de concebir y embarazadas.
3. Los niños cuyas madres recibieron aceite de pescado (FO: 500 mg de
DHA/día + 150 mg EPA/día) durante la gestación mostraron una mayor
velocidad en la resolución de las tareas del CCTT1. El índice ácido
araquidónico (ARA)/DHA materno al final de la gestación, y la
heterocigosis de la variante genética rs174556 de la FADS1 ejercen un
efecto beneficioso a largo plazo sobre la velocidad de procesamiento
que muestran los niños a los 9 años de edad. El incremento de la
Homocisteína total durante la gestación predice una menor velocidad de
procesamiento cognitivo en los hijos a los 9 años de edad.
4. Gracias a la técnica de análisis de componentes independientes, la
suplementación materna con FO aceite de pescado durante el embarazo
parece tener efectos a largo plazo sobre sobre la conectividad funcional

Chrononutrition and metabolic health in children and adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis
No full textContext Obesity has emerged as a global health issue for the pediatric population, increasing the need to investigate physiopathological aspects to prevent the appearance of its cardiometabolic complications. Chrononutrition is a field of research in nutritional sciences that investigates the health impact of 3 different dimensions of feeding behavior: regularity of meals, frequency, and timing of food intake.Objective We carried out a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the association between chrononutrition in children and adolescents and the risk of overweight/obesity or a cluster of metabolic abnormalities related to glucose and lipid metabolism, blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease risk.Data Extraction A literature search was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, and The Cochrane Library for relevant articles published before August 2022.Data Analysis A total of 64 articles were included in the narrative synthesis (47 cross-sectional and 17 cohort studies), while 16 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis showed that non-daily breakfast consumers (<= 6 d/wk) had a higher risk of overweight/obesity (odds ratio [OR], 1.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08-1.82] compared with daily breakfast eaters (7 d/wk). Similarly, irregular breakfast consumption (only 0-to-3 times/wk) increased the risk of abdominal obesity (waist-to-height ratio >= 0.5) compared with regular consumption (5-to-7 times/wk) (OR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.26-1.49). There was evidence to suggest that a regular frequency of meal consumption (>= 4 times/d) is preventive against overweight/obesity development compared with fewer meals (<= 3 times/d) (OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.70-0.97). In the narrative synthesis, snacking habits showed controversial results, while food timing was the most understudied dimension.Conclusion Overall, our data indicate a potential implication of chrononutrition in affecting pediatric metabolic health; however, the evidence of this association is limited and heterogeneous. Further prospective and intervention studies with a consistent approach to categorize the exposure are needed to elucidate the importance of chrononutrition for pediatric metabolic health
Intertextuality and Translation of Poetry ------A Case Study
No full textThis paper is intended to study translation from the viewpoint of “intertextuality”. By quoting Kristeva, Barthes and Hatim’s view of intertextuality, author works out a more applicable procedure for translator to render intertextual reference in poetry by combing Hatim’s approach with Nida’s “dynamic equivalence”. This essay is composed in the hope of rendering a new dimension to translation studies. Key Words: intertextuality, dynamic equivalence, translation of poetry Résumé: Ce texte est destiné à étudier la traduction du point de vue intertextualité . Tout en citant les idées de Kristeva , Barthes et Hatim , l’auteur arrive à dégager une procédure plus applicable pour les traducteurs afin de presenter la référence intertextuelle dans la poésie à travers la combinaison de l’approche de Hatim avec celled de l’équivalence dynamique de Nida .

Dialect in Theatre Translation into Arabic
No full textA Master of Arts Thesis in Translation and Interpreting (Arabic/English) Submitted to the College of Arts and Sciences by Deema Mohammed Al Khaili Entitled, "Dialect in Theatre Translation into Arabic," December 2006. Available are both Hard and Soft Copies of the Thesis.In this dissertation, the issue of theatre translation is discussed and the translation of dialect in literary works as a means of depicting identity is further examined. It is generally assumed that in translating a variety of language employed by the author in a piece of literature as a means of characterization or a social class marker, it is very likely that the end-text will be generalized and leveled-out. In this dissertation, this assumption is assessed closely. Chapter one introduces this dissertation and argues that in languages tending to be almost classless, such as Standard Arabic, the translator either completely ignores the use of dialect, translating into a unified pattern of language, or resorts to a particular variety of the language that is probably stigmatizing or distorted. In chapter two, this dissertation presents the relevant theoretical background to translation studies from Catford till the present. In chapter three, the paper presents different definitions given to the word 'dialect' and argues that the use of dialect can be marked and relates deeply to the social and professional status of the individual. This chapter also explores the relation between language and identity. It also illustrates that there are at least two types of dialect use: the functional (contextually-motivated) and the non-functional. In chapter four, this paper studies the struggle between standard Arabic and the dialect in literary contexts. It provides a brief history of the dialect of Quraysh which is widely believed to be the origin of classical Arabic. It also explores the other varieties that were available at that time suggesting that the translator of a text into Arabic which is originally composed of different functional dialects can always turn to one of those dialects depending on the social indications to be conveyed. In chapter five, the paper analyses one lengthy sample of the literary use of dialect in drama: an English play by George Bernard Shaw 'Pygmalion' translated into Arabic by Hussam S. Al Tamimi in the first version and by Gerges Al-Rashidi in the second. The two versions are compared and assessed. In the last chapter, the dissertation reasserts the importance of dialect in depicting literary characters, especially in drama, and the delicacy, subtlety and attention it requires from a vigilant translator.College of Arts and SciencesDepartment of Arabic and Translation StudiesMaster of Arts in English/Arabic/English Translation and Interpreting (MATI
Temperature distribution through a nanofilm by means of a ballistic-diffusive approach
No full textpeer reviewedAs microelectronic devices are important in many applications, their heat management needs to be improved, in order to prolong their lifetime, and to reduce the risk of damage. In nanomaterials, heat transport shows different behaviors than what can be observed at macroscopic sizes. Studying heat transport through nanofilms is a necessary tool for nanodevice thermal management. This work proposes a thermodynamic model incorporating both ballistic, introduced by non-local effects, and diffusive phonon transport. Extended thermodynamics principles are used in order to develop a constitutive equation for the ballistic behavior of heat conduction at small-length scales. Being an irreversible process, the present two-temperature model contains a one-way transition of ballistic to diffusive phonons as time proceeds. The model is compared to the classical Fourier and Cattaneo laws. These laws were not able to present the non-locality that our model shows, which is present in cases when the length scale of the material is of the same order of magnitude or smaller than the phonon mean free path, i.e., when the Knudsen number Kn ≤ O(1). Moreover, for small Kn numbers, our model predicted behaviors close to that of the classical laws, with a weak temperature jump at both sides of the nanofilm. However, as Kn increases, the behavior changes completely, the ballistic component becomes more important, and the temperature jump at both sides of the nanofilms becomes more pronounced. For comparison, a model using Fourier’s and Cattaneo’s laws with an effective thermal conductivity has shown, with reasonable qualitative comparison for small Knudsen numbers and large times. © 2019 by the author.

Independência do Ministério Público no Marrocos: na difícil busca de uma autoridade judicial
No full textOver the last decade, the Kingdom of Morocco has opted for the independence of the Public Prosecutor’s Office from the executive, severing any link that might have existed between it and the Ministry of Justice. This choice was not straightforward to make. Today, while the change is a step in the right direction and may dispel the suspicions that some people like to harbour about the links between the public prosecutor and executive institution, the new status is nonetheless the subject of several controversies and concerns. In this article, the author highlights the experience of the independence of the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Morocco and the efforts to intensify the independence of the judicial institution. By studying the challenges and opportunities raised by the new status of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the author tries to prove that the choice based on the limitation of independence to the absolute separation of the Public Prosecutor’s Office from the Ministry of Justice remains a narrow approach to independence and pleads for a general renewal of the status and missions of the Public Prosecutor’s Office.Durante a última década, o Reino de Marrocos optou pela independência do Ministério Público em relação ao poder executivo, cortando qualquer ligação que pudesse existir entre este e o Ministério da Justiça.

Ao estudar os desafios e as oportunidades suscitadas pelo novo estatuto do Ministério Público, o autor tenta provar que a escolha baseada na limitação da independência à separação absoluta do Ministério Público do Ministério da Justiça continua a ser uma abordagem estreita da independência e apela a uma renovação geral do estatuto e das missões do Ministério Público
Analyzing and Modeling the Effects of Independent Variables on Texas Severe Work Zone Crashes
No full textThe author has granted permission for their work to be available to the general public.Previous literature and research on work zone crashes seem to reach a similar conclusion that frequency and severity of crashes in work zones is dependent on causative factors that range from Endogenous factors (which in this study will be referred to as factors that are components of the work zone design) to exogenous factors (which in this study will be referred to as factors that are outside the work zone design components). While numerous studies have been undertaken on these factors, their individual influences on the resulting work zone crashes is yet to be given exhaustive analysis. Using statistical analysis and physical observations, this document will be modeling the different factors to determine their contribution to severe crash risk in work zones.
For this research, crash severity will be selected as the dependent variable. Though all crashes are worthy of investigation, their significance is measured by the cost of the damages that resulted from the crashes. In this work, high crash severity refers to crashes that resulted in either Possible injury, Non-incapacitating injury, incapacitating injury or killed. By utilizing the Multinomial Regression as the modeling technique with crash severity as the dependent variable, the significance of the various parameters in terms of their contributions to work zone crash severity is represented as P value. This measures the confidence limit of the different variables to a 95% significance level.
The importance of this finding is that most of the significant factors to severe work zone crashes are independent endogenous variables. These are variables that are likely to be corrected by proper work zone design and efficient temporal traffic planning.Civil and Environmental Engineerin
