Longitudinal links between need satisfaction and well–being of people with intellectual disability:A Self-Determination Theory perspective
No full textWhile it has been claimed that the basic psychological needs, autonomy supportive environments, and motivational regulations are universally important, application of these concepts to understand wellbeing in people with intellectual disability (ID) is lacking. Noud Frielink PhD will present longitudinal findings on the basic needs, motivational processes, and well-being of people with mild to borderline ID (N = 116). Significant associations were found between need satisfaction, autonomous motivation, and well-being, and between need frustration and ill-being. Current findings show the strength of prospective associations
A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Previous issue date: 2018-12-19Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior - CAPESEste trabajo consiste en la aplicaci?n de la Teor?a de la Argumentaci?n en la Lengua (ADL) a la resoluci?n de cuestiones de lengua espa?ola delExame Nacional do Ensino M?dio (ENEM). Para eso, se organizan los conceptos te?ricos necesarios para la descripci?n sem?ntica de las cuestiones y se consideran las contribuciones de la Teor?a de los Bloques Sem?nticos (TBS) como el aparato te?rico y metodol?gico del estudio. En total se resuelven las cinco cuestiones de la prueba de lengua espa?ola del ENEM 2017. Para las resoluciones, se describen sem?nticamente las tres partes de las cuestiones: texto-base, comandos de las cuestiones y alternativas de respuesta. Se reflexiona acerca de la articulaci?n entre esas partes y el rol de los bloques sem?nticos intermediarios y de los bloques sem?nticos s?ntesis. Adem?s de eso, se discute la clasificaci?n de las cuestiones en las habilidades de la Matriz de Referencia del Examen y atenta a los recursos ling??sticos, textuales y argumentativos empleados, especialmente en los textos-base. Se considera que las cuestiones se componen por un discurso central, perteneciente al texto-base, al cual se unen dos segmentos de discurso, los comandos de las cuestiones y las alternativas de respuesta, que originan el macro discurso-cuesti?n. Se concluye que los t?tulos de los textos-base son importantes para la reconstrucci?n del sentido porque, sumados a la estructura de los textos, orientan a la unidad tem?tica de los discursos y ofrecen indicaciones respecto a la continuidad discursiva. Asimismo, a partir de los an?lisis, se verifica que la mayor?a de las s?ntesis argumentativas presentan argumentaciones transgresivas, lo que se considera bastante relevante del punto de vista de elaboraci?n de la prueba, pues exige que los candidatos encadenen segmentos de forma diversa a la del sentido com?n y a las argumentaciones m?s recurrentes, las normativas, y de hecho comprendan los discursos presentados en la prueba para resolver las cuestiones.In this dissertation, the Theory of Argumentation within Language (TAL) was applied to the resolution of Spanish language questions of Exame Nacional do Ensino M?dio (ENEM). First, the theoretical concepts needed for the semantic description of questions were organized, and the contributions of the Semantic Blocks Theory (SBT) were used as a theoreticalmethodological approach. Five Spanish language questions of ENEM 2017 were resolved. The question resolution consisted of a semantic description of the three parts of each question, namely the reference text, the command, and the answer alternatives. The articulation between these parts and the role of intermediate semantic blocks and the summary semantic blocks. Furthermore, the classification of questions and the abilities of the Exam Reference Matrix are discussed, and the linguistic, textual and argumentative resources employed are highlighted, especially in the reference text. It is considered that the questions are comprised of a central discourse, a part of the reference text, which is linked to two segments of discourse ? the commands and the answer alternatives ? that originate the macro discourse-question. In conclusion, the titles of the reference texts are important for the reconstruction of the meaning, since they ? as well as the text structure ? orient the thematic of the discourses and supply indications regarding their continuity. Moreover, through the analyses, most of the argumentative summaries present transgressive argumentations, which is relevant for the process of test elaboration, since it demands that the candidates link segments in a way that is distinct from common sense ? the normative argumentations ? and indeed comprehend the discourses presented in the test to solve the questions.Nesta disserta??o aplica-se a Teoria da Argumenta??o na L?ngua (ADL) ? resolu??o de quest?es de l?ngua espanhola do Exame Nacional do Ensino M?dio (ENEM).

The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law
Get PDFAbstract
The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
Dissipative Range Scaling of Higher Order Structure Functions for Velocity and Passive Scalars
No full textDifferently to Kolmogorov's second similarity hypothesis, we find that the 2n-th order velocity and scalar structure functions scale with n-th order moment of the energy dissipation and the scalar dissipation, respectively. The origins of this scaling are analyzed by the transport equations of the fourth order velocity and scalar increment moments and by direct numerical simulations

Ratio of n-6/n-3 in the diets of beef cattle
No full textEffects of feeding heat-treated canola (C), soybean (S) and flax (F) or mixtures on growth and slaughter characteristics, taste and fatty acid (FA) composition of beef tissue were investigated using 128 crossbred steers to determine the potential of improving the nutritional quality of beef for humans. For Trial 1 (48 steers), dietary treatments were: roasted C, extruded C, roasted S, extruded S, roasted F and extruded F. For Trial 2 (80 steers), the dietary treatments were: S:F (1:1), S:C (1:1), C:F (1:1) and S:F:C (1:1:1), and the oilseeds were processed either by roasting or extruding before mixing. Soybean meal and soybean oil were used to give equivalent lipid and protein contents to each experimental diet. The basal diet consisted of grass silage, barley grain, vitamins and minerals. Steers were fed for a minimum of 100d then slaughtered at a uniform degree of finish. Growth and slaughter characteristics of the steers were only slightly affected by dietary treatment in that the soybean-fed steers consumed more feed and had a higher average daily gain than the canola or flax-fed animals in Trial 1. There was no difference in taste panel parameters for any of the treatments. Inclusion of flax in the diet increased the total n-3 content of meat. Similar results were found for canola and C18:1n-9 although this was not the case for soybean and the n-6 FA. For the n-6 FA in the PL and neutral lipid fractions of the meat samples, levels were correlated with high dietary levels of n-6 or n-9 with low levels of n-3 while for the n-3 FA, levels were correlated with high dietary n-3 levels and low n-6 levels. Oilseed processing method did not have an effect on any fatty acid levels. It is possible to modify the FA composition of beef meat toward a healthier profile by including heat-treated oilseeds in the diet to influence the degree of lipid metabolism in the rumen.ID: S0377840111004007; M3: Article; Accession Number: S0377840111004007; Author: M.A. McNiven (a, ⁎); Author: J.L.
