    Tesis doctoral inédita leída en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Departamento de Lingüística, Lenguas Modernas, Lógica y Fª de la Ciencia y Tª de la Literatura y Literatura Comparada. Fecha de lectura: 20-11-2020El objetivo de la investigación es analizar los elementos retóricos y poéticos de los relatos que componen la colección policiaca del padre Brown de G.K. Chesterton. A través de la aplicación de la Teoría del Lector Modelo, de Umberto Eco y de la Teoría de los Mundos Posibles –en su versión de Tomás Albaladejo– se pretende descender al proceso creativo del autor en su concepción del entramado policial y estudiar el proceso comunicativo de Chesterton, su intencionalidad y objetivos, así como la recepción en sus lectores. La Teoría del Lector Modelo permite estimar el tipo de lector que concibió el autor y la Teoría de los Mundos Posibles esbozar las distintas perspectivas de los personajes ideados para que se produzca la sorpresa esperada en la resolución de un relato policiaco. Asimismo, se presta especial atención al narrador y la focalización. Para concluir establecemos las características policiacas propias del autor con lo que consideramos que es su aportación genuina al mundo del relato criminal, deteniéndonos de manera particular en el crimen, el detective y el proceso de investigaciónThe focus of this research is to analyse the retoric and poetic aspects of the tales which are part of the compilation of the detective Father Brown Stories, by G.K. Chesterton. In this academic work we implement the Umberto Eco's theory of textual cooperation –principally the Model Reader– and the Theory of Possible Worlds developed by Tomás Albaladejo. The investigation intends to deepen the commuticative process of G.K Chesterton. In addition, we attempt to study the creative process of the author, his intention and his aims. Particularly, to find his thoughts about the receipt of the detective novel in his readers. The Model Reader theory helps to guess the type of reader that the author conceived. The Theory of Possible Worlds lets consider the perspectives of the characters in order to get the expected surprise in resolving the mystery. We also pay special attention to the storyteller and the focalisation. To conclude, we determine the own characteristics of G.K. Chesterton with his genuine contribution to the detective novel world, especially about the crime, the detetive and the investigation proces

    Youth violence has been a major social problem for the Western world for long. The problem in South-East Asia is of recent origin. It is pervading the lives of significant portion of young people regardless of social class, race, ethnicity, culture or country. Youth violence includes various behaviors such as bullying, slapping or hitting and other behaviors such as robbery and assault could also be fatal. Violence involving young people adds greatly to the costs of health and welfare services, reduces productivity, decreases the value of property, disrupts a range of essential services and generally undermines the fabric of society. Thus it becomes pertinent to understand youth violence in all aspects so as to develop an appropriate prevention approach for tackling this menace. The current paper highlights the burden of youth violence in the region. It also attempts to describe various aspects of youth violence, its risk factors and what approach could be followed to tackle it

    Trzy oblicza własności. O roli własności prywatnej w systemie społeczno-ekonomicznym na podstawie twórczości H. Belloca oraz G.K. Chestertona

    The institution of property is undeniably one of the most important elements of every social and economic system. It affects every human being, playing a vital role in everyday life of the whole human race. Nevertheless, its origin and true meaning is not always treated with due attention, which sometimes leads to practical errors and improper application of this essential idea in human societies. The article concerns the true importance of private property, based on works by two British writers of the early 20th century, H. Belloc and G.K. Chesterton. The author describes the economic freedom attached to private property and shows it as a condition necessary for maintaining basic human dignity. Then he presents two of the most common errors concerning perception and application of property – the limitation of its positive effects in capitalism and the futile attempt of its abolition in socialism.Instytucja własności stanowi jeden z najistotniejszych składników każdego systemu społecznego i ekonomicznego, ponieważ oddziałuje bezpośrednio na życie każdego człowieka, będąc praktycznym elementem zwykłej codzienności. Nie zawsze jednak poświęca się jej genezie należytą uwagę, a w toku dziejów nie brakowało rozmaitych błędnych poglądów przeinaczających właściwe znaczenie owego podstawowego urządzenia społecznego. W niniejszym artykule została podjęta próba zaprezentowania elementarnej wartości własności prywatnej w oparciu o twórczość dwóch brytyjskich pisarzy początku XX w. – H. Belloca i G.K. Chestertona. Autor zwraca uwagę na wynikającą z posiadania wolność ekonomiczną oraz ukazuje własność prywatną jako warunek konieczny szeroko pojętej godności człowieka. Następnie opisuje podstawowe błędy, jakie pojawiły się w historii ludzkości w związku z niewłaściwym postrzeganiem i używaniem opisywanej instytucji: ograniczenie oddziaływania własności w warunkach ustroju kapitalistycznego oraz próby zniesienia własności prywatnej w socjalizmie

    Here is a copy of the 1969 An old Library of Congress book that was never taken out once and so is in excellent condition. Vastly superior in its illustrations to the Avenel facsimile (1975?). This is not a facsimile, for it omits the illustration of the blackamoor being scrubbed to death! Otherwise it fully represents the 1912 original except for its sturdy simple covers and binding. I will keep the dust-jacketed extra in the collection. How can a book be an edition of 1967 and have a first-publication date of 1968?This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)V.S. Vernon Jone

    Hardware Components for Real-Time Stereo Matching: Acceleration of 3D HD TV with FPGAs

    No full text
    In recent 3D TV market, the technologies addressing to the applications such as stereoscopic depth scaling, glass-free 3D display, and Free Viewpoint TV are getting more attentions. A low-cost solution that can synthesize intermediate views from stereoscopic input contents(left and right camera views) is strongly needed. To render the interpolated views, the depth information of the left and right views are commonly-used in view synthesis algorithm. Therefore, this thesis researches stereo matching algorithms, which generate disparity maps. We implement a state-of-the-art semi-global stereo matching algorithm(dynamic programming and cross based) with FPGA. Our solution also concerns several aspects include disparity map/sequences quality, hardware cost, and real-time performance. Afterward the stereo matching engine design is integrated into IMEC's 3D TV SoC prototype. Several peripheral components, include color space converters, video I/O adaptors and a dedicated memory hierarchy, are developed for supporting both stereo matching and view synthesis engines. Finally, the SoC prototype is evaluated with EP3SL150 FPGA chip. So far it can process dual channel XGA video format (1024x768 @ 60 FPS) in real-time performance and render an acceptable synthesized view quality for depth scaling application. This design shows a promising solution for the 3D TV market.Embedded SystemsComputer EngineeringElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
