Textos comerciales de Cuba y Colombia del siglo XIX en el corpus DIACOM: estudio de casos de variación terminológica
No full textEste trabajo se basa en el corpus DIACOM, un corpus bilingüe (francés-español) de textos del comercio que se está compilando en el ámbito del proyecto “Patrimonio linguistico-culturale e Digital Humanities” (PALC-DH), llevado a cabo en el Departamento de Lenguas y Literaturas Extranjeras de la Universidad de Verona (Italia). El estudio que presentamos es la primera investigación terminológica llevada a cabo en el subcorpus español y se centra en el primer período (1850-1914) de los tres cortes temporales que vertebran DIACOM. En concreto, forman parte del corpus analizado textos institucionales procedentes de Colombia y Cuba, a partir de los cuales se estudian casos de variación morfológica, léxica y conceptual
Immigration and Human Development: Evidence from Lebanon
No full textThis paper takes Lebanon as a case study to examine the relationship between human development and immigration. It examines this issue from both ends: the sending and the receiving countries. The author suggests that by developing the concept of a diasporic civil society and a diasporic public sphere, a significant aspect of the relationship between human development and immigration is illuminated especially at the level of political, social and cultural capitals. The paper also argues that the double impact of the home country and that of destination has a lot to say about the influence of immigration on human development in Lebanon. In examining Australia as a destination country, the paper shows the particular impact that globalisation and September 11 have lately had on the capacity of the Lebanese migrants for human development. Finally, the paper concludes by showing the extent to which the diasporic civil society compensates for the ‘negligent’ character of the Lebanese state in the context of human development.Lebanese diaspora, human development, diasporic civil society, diasporic public sphere, economic and social capitals

No full textConoscere le diverse possibilità per tradurre oralmente un discorso da una lingua all’altra in modo efficiente e preservando la qualità è molto importante per uno studente di interpretazione, ma di norma non è facile avere accesso alle prestazioni di interpreti professionisti in reali contesti lavorativi, sia per ragioni di privacy legate alla situazione comunicativa, sia per difficoltà a reperire convegni o interpreti disponibili. Costituisce pertanto una preziosa risorsa didattica poter contare su un corpus di interpretazione accessibile, una realtà presente negli studi sull’interpretazione e nella didattica di questa forma orale di trasposizione linguistica solo da una quindicina d’anni e grazie alla disponibilità di siti di organismi internazionali che trasmettono le loro sedute e le interpretazioni simultanee in una pluralità di lingue, come il Parlamento europeo, oggi la principale fonte di discorsi originali e interpretati raccolti in corpora. Il primo è stato il corpus EPIC (European Parliament Interpreting Corpus), realizzato presso il DIT, che ha ispirato EPIC-G (Ghent); EPTIC, CEPIC (Chinese-English Political Interpreting Corpus). L’intervento presenterà EPIC, le diverse applicazioni didattiche e i principali risultati degli studi basati su corpora.Conocer las diferentes posibilidades para traducir oralmente el discurso de una lengua a otra de forma eficiente y preservando la calidad es muy importante para un estudiante de interpretación, pero no suele ser fácil acceder a las actuaciones de intérpretes profesionales en contextos reales de trabajo, bien por razones de privacidad relacionadas con la situación comunicativa, bien por las dificultades para encontrar conferencias o intérpretes disponibles. Es, por tanto, un valioso recurso didáctico poder contar con un corpus de interpretación accesible, una realidad que sólo está presente en los estudios de interpretación y en la enseñanza de esta forma oral de transposición lingüística desde hace unos quince años y gracias a la disponibilidad de sitios de organismos internacionales que transmiten sus sesiones y sus interpretaciones simultáneas en una pluralidad de lenguas, como el Parlamento Europeo, hoy principal fuente de discursos originales e interpretados recogidos en corpus. El primero fue el corpus EPIC (European Parliament Interpreting Corpus), creado en nuestro Departamento, que inspiró a otros corpus como EPIC-G (Gante) EPTIC (European Parliament Translation and Interpreting Corpus), CEPIC (Chinese-English Political Interpreting Corpus). La conferencia presentará EPIC, las diferentes aplicaciones didácticas y los principales resultados de los estudios basados en corpus

MR imaging findings in autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia
No full textBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a disorder characterized by degeneration of the corticospinal tracts and posterior column of the spinal cord. Previously described radiologic findings included nonspecific brain abnormalities such as brain atrophy and white matter lesions, as well as atrophy of the spinal cord. In our study, we aimed to better characterize brain and spine MR imaging findings in a series of patients with HSP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nine patients from 4 different Lebanese families with the autosomal recessive form of HSP were included in the study. All patients underwent brain and whole-spine MR imaging. We assessed the presence of white matter abnormalities mainly along the corticospinal tracts, brain atrophy, thinning of the corpus callosum, and the presence of spinal cord atrophy or abnormal signal intensity. RESULTS: Imaging revealed mild brain atrophy (44percent), atrophy of the corpus callosum (55percent), white matter lesions (67percent), abnormal T2 high signal intensity in the posterior limb of the internal capsule (55percent), and mild spinal cord atrophy (33percent). CONCLUSIONS: The MR imaging findings of HSP are nonspecific and variable; however, the most prominent features include atrophy of the corpus callosum, T2 signal intensity in the posterior limb of the internal capsule, and spinal cord atrophy.Alber B, 2005, J NEUROL SCI, V236, P9, DOI 10.1016-j.jns.2005.03.040; Auer-Grumbach M, 1999, J NEUROL, V246, P556, DOI 10.1007-s004150050403; BRUYN RPM, 1992, CLIN NEUROL NEUROSUR, V94, pS16; CAMBI F, 1995, ARCH NEUROL-CHICAGO, V52, P665; Casali C, 2004, NEUROLOGY, V62, P262; Coutinho P, 1999, ARCH NEUROL-CHICAGO, V56, P943, DOI 10.1001-archneur.56.8.943; Dreha-Kulaczewski S, 2006, NEURORADIOLOGY, V48, P893, DOI 10.1007-s00234-006-0148-2; DURR A, 1994, NEUROLOGY, V44, P1274; FERRER I, 1995, NEUROPATH APPL NEURO, V21, P255, DOI 10.1111-j.1365-2990.1995.tb01057.x; GILMAN S, 2002, MANTER GATZS ESSENTI, P181; GOLDBLATT J, 1989, CLIN GENET, V35, P116; HARDING AE, 1984, HEREDITARY ATAXIAS R, P191; Hedera P, 2005, NEURORADIOLOGY, V47, P730, DOI 10.1007-s00234-005-1415-3; HOURANI R, 2008, EUR J RADIOL EXTRA, V65, P37, DOI 10.1016-j.ejrex.2007.11.009; Kassubek J, 2006, EUR J NEUROL, V13, P880, DOI 10.1111-j.1468-1331.2006.01380.x; KEPPEN LD, 1987, AM J HUM GENET, V41, P933; Krabbe K, 1997, NEURORADIOLOGY, V39, P724; Kuru S, 2005, NEUROPATHOLOGY, V25, P346, DOI 10.1111-j.1440-1789.2005.00620.x; Lesca G, 2003, NEUROLOGY, V60, P674; MARTIFABREGAS J, 1990, NEUROLOGY, V40, P1799; Moller-Hartmann W, 2002, NEURORADIOLOGY, V44, P371, DOI 10.1007-s00234-001-0760-0; NAKAMURA A, 1995, J NEUROL SCI, V131, P35, DOI 10.1016-0022-510X(95)00028-Z; NICOLAU A, 1987, PEDIATRIE, V42, P359; Nielsen JE, 1998, J NEUROL NEUROSUR PS, V64, P61, DOI 10.1136-jnnp.64.1.61; Nomura H, 2001, NEUROPATHOLOGY, V21, P212, DOI 10.1046-j.1440-1789.2001.00388.x; Ohnishi J, 2001, ACTA NEUROL SCAND, V104, P191, DOI 10.1034-j.1600-0404.2001.00032.x; Okubo S, 2000, ACTA NEUROL SCAND, V102, P196, DOI 10.1034-j.1600-0404.2000.102003196.x; Orlacchio A, 2004, ARCH NEUROL-CHICAGO, V61, P849, DOI 10.1001-archneur.61.6.849; ORMEROD IEC, 1994, J NEUROL NEUROSUR PS, V57, P51, DOI 10.1136-jnnp.57.1.51; Proukakis C, 2004, J NEUROL, V251, P1105, DOI 10.1007-s00415-004-0491-3; Somasundaram S, 2007, PEDIATR RADIOL, V37, P503, DOI 10.1007-s00247-007-0444-y; Sperfeld AD, 2005, EUR NEUROL, V53, P74, DOI 10.1159-000084650; Sperfeld AD, 2005, EUR NEUROL, V54, P181, DOI 10.1159-000090294; Sperfeld AD, 2004, J NEUROL, V251, P1285, DOI 10.1007-s00415-004-0562-5; Teive HAG, 2001, ARQ NEURO-PSIQUIAT, V59, P790, DOI 10.1590-S0004-282X2001000500025; Winner B, 2004, ARCH NEUROL-CHICAGO, V61, P117, DOI 10.1001-archneur.61.1.117810

Narrowband Interference Mitigation Techniques: A Survey
No full textThe radio frequency (RF) spectrum is a scarce natural resource utilized by terrestrial and satellite systems that operate in regulated frequency bands. The sharing of this scarce resource and the bandwidth of these systems has led to various types of interferences including, narrowband interference (NBI) and wideband interference (WBI). The spectrum congestion problem will only continue to be exacerbated as new applications and technologies are deployed with larger bandwidths to support new user requirements. The handling of NBI in the literature is significant and vast, which deserves recognition in the form of a survey paper. This survey aims to summarize the handful of NBI models and the extent of mitigation techniques that have been reported in the literature over the last decade for various commercial and defense fields which includes terrestrial and satellite systems. More importantly, the source and potential adverse impacts of NBI on different applications and technologies are discussed. A series of mitigation strategies are reviewed including the traditional filter-based methods and recent techniques that utilized machine learning. We strictly limit this survey to time-frequency NBI and ignore the treatment of interference in the spatial domain considering the number of publications reported to date. Lastly, we address some of the identified research gaps and enumerate future research directions to progress NBI mitigation works. This survey provides a brief introduction to the NBI problem and can be applied to future research for emerging applications and technologies

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
