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
Medical Sociology as a Heuristic Instrument for Medical Tourism and Cross-Border Healthcare; Comment on “International Patients on Operation Vacation – Perspectives of Patients Travelling to Hungary for Orthopedic Treatments”
No full textIn this commentary, we establish a relationship between medical sociology and the study of medical tourism and cross-border healthcare by introducing Ronald Andersen’s behavioral model of healthcare use, and linking this model to the recent empirical study of Kovacs et al. on patients travelling to Hungary for orthopedic treatment. Finally, we plead for more measurement in the field of patient mobility
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/

Diving into the contexts of in-between worlds: worldmaking in medical tourism
No full textIn this review article, the authors contextualize the contemporary practice of medical tourism in terms of the concept of worldmaking, which was introduced (in this journal) with two articles a year or two ago by Hollinshead. Here, the authors first contextualize medical tourism in terms of "worldmaking" per medium of the observations of the corporeal realms identified by Alexis de Tocqueville almost 200 years ago. In 1835, de Tocqueville wrote with enthusiasm tinged with nostalgic regret about the new world of American democracy that he then saw as the world of the future. A serious rupture in history took place of which he became a most relevant critic. But there have been (according to Mainil, Platenkamp, and Meulemans) many ruptures since then: that is, there have been short periods of "in-between worlds" that became ever more anchored in the timeline of Western history. Today, they argue that tourism as a field of expertise, practice, and knowledge is intertwined with several other networks of expertise. It is responsible (itself) for many small "ruptures" in these modern times. Mass tourism can be seen as such a shift. Sustainable tourism and the attention paid to climate change would be another such shift. And the authors of this review argue that an interesting and deep-seated case in this regard is medical tourism. They argue here that medical tourism has a great deal of worldmaking capacity, especially by means of the Internet and international marketing tools. It arises in the interstices of the interacting networks of a global world. It crosses borders in line with emerging power structures in a global network, but it also meets local resistance or regional obstacles that are related to other networks. In between these worlds of human experience, various interactions of perspectives on the concept of health itself come to the surface. Within the field of medical tourism different stakeholders play a role in a worldmaking process. Our reviewers from the Low Countries thereby argue that medical tourism itself is responsible for a Tocquevillean rupture within and across our global network society. In their view, medical tourism also constitutes a new hybrid-that is, as a hybrid medical paradigm that seems to be appearing within the performative and productive world of tourism
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
