Producción musical del tema Dónde Estás del artista Tomas Cansing
No full textThe musical theme “Dónde Estás” came in a spontaneous way, back in August of 2013, based on personal experiences of the author. The project was totally produced by the musician and composer Tomas Cansing, who tried to capture his ideas and both musical and lyrical experiences, to attempt that the listener feels identified with the principal concept of the song. Due to the musical features of the song, the production process was carried out by implementing standardized concepts and techniques related to the musical trend of this project. At the same time taking into account the musical references exposed by the artist, since there were some elements as: instrumentation and sonority that worked as a base for the musical production…El tema musical “Dónde Estás” nace de manera espontánea, a mediados del mes de Agosto del 2013, basado en experiencias propias del autor. El proyecto fue producido en su totalidad por el músico y compositor “Tomas Cansing”, quien intentó plasmar sus ideas y vivencias tanto en música como en letra, procurando que el oyente se sienta identificado con el concepto principal de la canción. Debido a las características musicales de la canción, el proceso de producción se llevó a cabo implementando los conceptos y las técnicas estandarizadas en relación al género musical del correspondiente proyecto. A su vez, se tomó en consideración las referencias musicales expuestas por el artista, ya que existieron elementos tales como: instrumentación y sonoridad que sirvieron como base para la producción musical…
TOMAS: De variant op palen
No full textTOMAS is een bouwmethode voor de geïndustrialiseerde aanleg van een tunnelbak voor spoor- en wegverbindingen onder maaiveld. Dit rapport is globaal onder te verdelen in drie onderwerpen: 1) Beschrijving van de technologie; In dit gedeelte van het rapport wordt kort ingegaan op het technische idee achter TOMAS. De knelpunten worden behandeld en technisch onderbouwd. Bij een optimale werking van het proces kan TOMAS een voortgangssnelheid boeken van 45 meter per dag. 2) Krachtsbepaling onder een maatgevende treinlast in eindfase; Uitgangspunt is dat TOMAS een eindprodukt achterlaat dat geschikt is om treinverkeer toe te laten. Er wordt een belastinggeval bekeken waarbij twee treinen elkaar passeren en een statische belasting geven van 160 kN/m. Het blijkt dat de lengte van de treinen invloed hebben op de momentverdeling in de bak. Een maximum moment (circa 12.000 kNm) wordt bereikt bij een treinlengte van 30 meter. Het moment veroorzaakt een vormverandering in de bak waardoor de voegen neigen open te gaan staan. Als de voegen open staan kan grondwater in de bak stromen. Een eis voor de uiteindelijke constructie is dat deze grondwaterdicht moet zijn. Om de bak onder deze last waterdicht te houden is een axiale voorspanning benodigd van 3200 kN. De parameters benodigd voor de berekening, de beddingsconstante, de h.o.h. afstand van de heipalen en de veerstijfheid van de palen is bepaald in een typisch Rotterdams grondprofiel. 3) Technische onderbouwing van de haa/baarheid van TOMAS in de bouwfase; In de bouwfase is voornamelijk de invloed van de uitsleuver belicht waarbij is geprobeerd antwoord te krijgen op de volgende vragen: \u95 Blijft het graaffront stabiel, zal de grond niet gaan afschuiven? Wat is de invloed van gekruiste platen (frietsnijdervorm) aan het graaffront op de stabiliteit van het graaffront? \u95 Is er een blijvende axiale voorspanning in de bak? \u95 Hoe groot zijn de vijzelkrachten wanneer de uitsleuver zich door de grond drukt? \u95 Hoe reageert de betonnen bak onder de, niet continue, vijzelkracht? Om het graaffront van de uitsleuver zo klein mogelijk te houden wordt de grond aan het front gestabiliseerd met gekruiste platen. Deze platen hebben de vorm van een 'frietsnijder' en worden met kracht door de grond gedrukt. Deze kracht is erg afhankelijk van de grondsoort. Over het algemeen geeft, bij het gebruik van overlangse platen aan het graaffront, een zandige grondsoort grote krachten (tot 50.000 kN), wat het gebruik van deze platen aan het graaffront minder geschikt maakt voor deze gronden. Voor kleiige gronden ligt de vijzelkracht in de orde van grootte 20.000 kN.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Identifying Author Fingerprints in Texts via Graph Neural Networks
No full textThe world is generating more and more network data in many different areas (e.g., sensor networks, social networks and even text). A unique characteristic of these data is the coupling between data values and underlying irregular structure on which these values are defined. Thus, researchers developed Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to use deep learning approaches on these irregular network data. GNNs developers tried to replicate the recent success of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and developed its graph counterpart Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCNN) and more different variations of GNNs (e.g. EdgeNet). However, all these architectures are relatively young, and the impact of different parameters to classification result is not well researched compared to regular neural network architectures. To address this issue, we propose to use authorship attribution problem to research the impact of different architectures and their variations to classification accuracy and how GNNs can be used to improve on authorship attribution task compared to the baseline architectures. Explicitly, we define the dataset which is going to be used throughout the experiments and the method to convert text excerpts of authors into the network that can be classified with GNNs (called WAN). WAN is as a network that captures unique author fingerprint. We also define the set of GNN architectures (and different combinations and variations of them), baseline architecture (SVM) and experiments that are used with those architectures. This experiment setting allows us to compare different GNN architectures among themselves and the baseline architecture. Also, we define a method to reduce the dimensions of author fingerprints (WANs) and use these sparse author fingerprints for the same experiments with the same architectures. Numerical results show the improvement over the baseline architectures in nearly all defined experiments. Also, we found that more complex GNN architectures (e.g. EdgeNets) are superior to shallower architectures with more laborious experiments (e.g. classification by gender). More complex architectures also require hyperparameter re-tuning in order to achieve optimal results. Furthermore, experiments with sparse author fingerprints showed that we could achieve comparable results to standard fingerprints with faster training times and significantly reduced dimensions. GNN architectures used with sparse author fingerprints were usually superior to baseline architectures
The Authorship of Tomas Espedal
No full textThis thesis is centered around the norwegian author Tomas Espedal. The paper sets out to read Espedal’s novels as one text altogether with the same I, while exploring how the literary term autofiction supports this approach. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first part of the thesis examines the genre autofiction. It shows examples of how autofiction is used as a genre for different generations of authors, and how it is popular to write this hybrid genre between autobiography and fiction. It illuminates a tendency to writeautofiction, discussing the ethical questions that arises when the written books become a mix of autobiography and fiction. This is further discussed in the third part. The second part of the paper probes how the I develops throughout the books, and how the author writes about the themes love and alcohol. Both themes are literary fuel to the author, both in his writing and in his performances. I choose to understand the paratexts - interviews and performances - as complementary dimensions of the same I that appears in the novels. As life and literature become fused, I argue that it is pointless to separate the two.In third part of the thesis, I show how writers write about each other and interact with each others’ lives and literary works. While the main focus is Tomas Espedal’s authorship, the thesis also discusses Karl Ove Knausgård’s works as well as upcoming authors and authors who made an impact in the danish public with their books. I use interviews, talks and tv-shows to let Tomas Espedal discuss his own writing. Finally, I discuss the ongoing challenges for autofiction and give my own suggestion to how the authorship may evolve in the future when the next books in the one great collected Tomas Espedal novel will be written. <br/

A Systematic Review and Individual Patient Data Meta-analysis
No full textImportance Social anxiety disorder (SAD) can be adequately treated with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). However, there is a large gap in knowledge on factors associated with prognosis, and it is unclear whether symptom severity predicts response to CBT for SAD. Objective To examine baseline SAD symptom severity as a moderator of the association between CBT and symptom change in patients with SAD. Data Sources For this systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis (IPDMA), PubMed, PsycInfo, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched from January 1, 1990, to January 13, 2023. Primary search topics were social anxiety disorder, cognitive behavior therapy, and randomized controlled trial. Study Selection Inclusion criteria were randomized clinical trials comparing CBT with being on a waiting list and using the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS) in adults with a primary clinical diagnosis of SAD. Data Extraction and Synthesis Authors of included studies were approached to provide individual-level data. Data were extracted by pairs of authors following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses reporting guideline, and risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane tool. An IPDMA was conducted using a 2-stage approach for the association of CBT with change in LSAS scores from baseline to posttreatment and for the interaction effect of baseline LSAS score by condition using random-effects models. Main Outcomes and Measures The main outcome was the baseline to posttreatment change in symptom severity measured by the LSAS. Results A total of 12 studies including 1246 patients with SAD (mean [SD] age, 35.3 [10.9] years; 738 [59.2%] female) were included in the meta-analysis. A waiting list–controlled association between CBT and pretreatment to posttreatment LSAS change was found ( b = –20.3; 95% CI, −24.9 to −15.6; P &lt; .001; Cohen d = –0.95; 95% CI, −1.16 to −0.73). Baseline LSAS scores moderated the differences between CBT and waiting list with respect to pretreatment to posttreatment symptom reductions ( b = –0.22; 95% CI, −0.39 to −0.06; P = .009), indicating that individuals with severe symptoms had larger waiting list–controlled symptom reductions after CBT (Cohen d = –1.13 [95% CI, −1.39 to −0.88] for patients with very severe SAD; Cohen d = –0.54 [95% CI, −0.80 to −0.29] for patients with mild SAD). Conclusions and Relevance In this systematic review and IPDMA, higher baseline SAD symptom severity was associated with greater (absolute but not relative) symptom reductions after CBT in patients with SAD. The findings contribute to personalized care by suggesting that clinicians can confidently offer CBT to individuals with severe SAD symptoms
Newly attributed works of Tomas Podagaiskis
No full textDarbo tikslas - remiantis stilistine analize ir žinomais kūriniais, naujai atributuoti kai kurias skulptūras iš Tytuvėnų, Šiluvos, Šaukoto ir Zapyškio bažnyčių, jų autoriumi įvardijant skulptorių Tomą Podgaiskį. Tomo Podgaiskio kūrybos analizė iliustruoja, kad, viena vertus, tam tikrų kūrinių autorystė gali būti įvardijama nesiremiant rašytiniais šaltiniais, kita vertus, rašytinių šaltinių buvimas nepanaikina tikrovės kaitos faktoriaus, todėl aklas jų kartojimas sukuria tikrovės iliuziją. Be anksčiau skulptoriui Tomui Podgaiskiui priskirtų Kauno arkikatedros, Šiluvos, atskirų Tytuvėnų ir Telšių altorių, į jo kūrybinę biografiją galime įrašyti du Tytuvėnų didžiojo altoriaus bei vieną Šiluvos medinį Nukryžiuotąjį, taip pat "Prisikėlusio Kristaus statulas" iš Šaukoto ir Zapyškio bažnyčių3''. Šie kūriniai teikia daugiau duomenų apie gipso darbais pagarsėjusio skulptoriaus Tomo Podgaiskio medžio drožybą. Galima spėti, kad skulptorius Tomas Podgaiskis dabartinės Lietuvos teritorijoje aktyviai kūrė iki pat 1798 metų. Nors absoliuti dauguma Podgaiskio kūrinių atribucijų (išskyrus Kauno arkikatedrą ir iš dalies Šiluvą) neparemta istoriniais šaltiniais, tačiau jo ryškus individualus plastinis braižas pats tapo autoriaus "parašu" ir savotišku šaltiniu, užpildančiu baltas biografijos dėmes. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Tomas Podgaiskis; Tomasz Podhayski; Dailės istorija; Skulptūros istorija; Kauno arkikatedra bazilika; Šaukotas; Šiluva; Telšiai; Tytuvėnai; Zapyškis; Nukryžiuotasis; Prisikėlęs Kristus; Krikščioniška ikonografija; Tomas Podgaiskis; Tomasz Podhayski; History of sculpture; Christian iconography; CrucifixThe article analyses the works of sculptor Tomas Podgaiskis (1741-after 1798) who worked in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania during the second half of the XVIII c. According to written sources it is known that he made the altar sculptures and the plastic decor in Kaunas Cathedral and Šiluva Basilica. Some researchers (Stasys Latonas) attributed to him separate altars in Tytuvėnai and Telšiai churches. This article for the first time identifies Tomas Podgaiskis as the author of individual wooden and plaster sculptures in the churches of Tytuvėnai (the two Crucifixes of the High altar), Šiluva (the Crucifix), Šaukotas and Zapyškis (the Resurrection). This is made on the basis of stylistic analysis and distinctive touch; respectively, the erroneous Tomas Podgaiskis authorship of the Crucifix of the High altar in Kaunas Cathedral is also denied. The newly attributed works not only complement the biography of Tomas Podagaiskis, but also enable one to claim that until 1798 he worked in the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The analysis of Tomas Podagaiskis' work illustrates that, on the one hand, the authorship of individual works may be determined without reference to written sources, while on the other hand, the existence of written sources does not eliminate the change of reality, therefore a blind following of the sources leads to the creation of the illusion
Tomas Tranströmer tra autobiografia poetica e poesia autobiografica
No full textThis paper aims at pointing out the peculiar relationships between Tomas Tranströmer’s autobiography Minnena ser mig and his poems. I will try to underline the formal and thematic correspondences which link the prose of this text and some poems of the Swedish author (Nobel Prize 2011), in order to show both his literary method and the pattern of this work compositional lines
Social Phobia. From Epidemiology to Brain Function
No full textSocial phobia is a disabling anxiety disorder characterized by an excessive fear of negative evaluation in social situations. The present thesis explored the epidemiology and neurobiology of the disorder. By means of a mailed questionnaire, the point prevalence of social phobia in the Swedish general population was estimated at 15.6%. However, prevalence rates varied between 1.9 and 20.4% across the different levels of distress and impairment used to define cases. Thus, although social anxiety is widespread within the community, the precise diagnostic boundaries for social phobia are difficult to determine. Social phobia was associated with female gender, low educational attainment, psychoactive medication use, and lack of social support. A cluster analysis revealed that subtypes of social phobia mainly differed dimensionally on a mild-moderate-severe continuum, with number of cases declining with increasing severity. Public speaking was the most common social fear in all groups of social phobics and in the population at large. In the neurobiological studies, positron emission tomography was used to examine brain serotonin metabolism and changes in the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) response to public speaking stress following treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or cognitive-behavioral group therapy. Social phobics exhibited lowered serotonin turnover, relative to non-phobics, mainly in the medial temporal cortex including the bilateral rhinal and periamygdaloid regions. Symptom improvement with cognitive-behavioral- as well as SSRI-treatment was accompanied by a reduced rCBF-response to public speaking in the amygdala, hippocampus and adjacent temporal cortex, i.e. regions that serve important functions in anxiety. Thorough suppression of rCBF in limbic brain regions was associated with favorable long-term treatment outcome. These results provide neuroimaging evidence for a presynaptic serotonergic dysfunction in social phobia and for a common neural mechanism whereby psychological and pharmacological anti-anxiety treatments act
