Archiwum Danych Jakościowych przy IFiS PAN
No full textThis text contains information about the Qualitative Data Archive at the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology PAS (QDA) [Archiwum Danych Jakościowych przy IFiS PAN — ADJ; adj.ifispan.pl], which collects and digitalizes databases from a broad range of research in the social sciences and makes them accessible online. The archive was established with the idea of preserving material of a qualitative nature. There were two main aims: to initiate new methods of research using the collected resources and to stimulate theoretical and methodological reflection on the idea of archivization, renewed analysis of data, and various other forms of revisiting research. The creators of the archive have managed to save and digitalize considerable amounts of material derived from studies that are by now historical and are important for Polish sociology and anthropology. The Qualitative Data Archive also contains collections of materials from quite recent studies, which have often been processed in electronic form. For these, the QDA functions as a platform where researchers can present their analyses and findings more widely and in a secure form both for themselves and for their respondents
Overview of the author identification task at PAN 2014
No full textThe author identification task at PAN-2014 focuses on author verification. Similar to PAN-2013 we are given a set of documents by the same author along with exactly one document of questioned authorship, and the task is to determine whether the known and the questioned documents are by the same author or not. In comparison to PAN-2013, a significantly larger corpus was built comprising hundreds of documents in four natural languages (Dutch, English, Greek, and Spanish) and four genres (essays, reviews, novels, opinion articles). In addition, more suitable performance measures are used focusing on the accuracy and the confidence of the predictions as well as the ability of the submitted methods to leave some problems unanswered in case there is great uncertainty. To this end, we adopt the c@1 measure, originally proposed for the question answering task. We received 13 software submissions that were evaluated in the TIRA framework. Analytical evaluation results are presented where one language-independent approach serves as a challenging baseline. Moreover, we continue the successful practice of the PAN labs to examine meta-models based on the combination of all submitted systems. Last but not least, we provide statistical significance tests to demonstrate the important differences between the submitted approaches
Roary : rapid large-scale prokaryote pan genome analysis
No full textThis work was supported by the Wellcome Trust (grant WT 098051).A typical prokaryote population sequencing study can now consist of hundreds or thousands of isolates. Interrogating these datasets can provide detailed insights into the genetic structure of prokaryotic genomes. We introduce Roary, a tool that rapidly builds large-scale pan genomes, identifying the core and accessory genes. Roary makes construction of the pan genome of thousands of prokaryote samples possible on a standard desktop without compromising on the accuracy of results. Using a single CPU Roary can produce a pan genome consisting of 1000 isolates in 4.5 hours using 13 GB of RAM, with further speedups possible using multiple processors.Peer reviewe
Pan Asia Networking (PAN) prospectus review 2006-2011
No full textA sample of research findings is provided from Pan Asia Networking (PAN) research projects. These examples give a sense of the type of evidence that has been gathered by partners under PAN’s three main themes (Policies, Technologies, and Effects). The themes are summarized in a table in terms of objectives, research activities, and expected outcomes. PAN-supported research also aims to be relevant and rigorous enough to influence policy debates and attract media attention. PAN encouraged new researchers in ICT4D programming such as the PANdora distance learning research network, and LIRNEasia (communications policy). This review encompasses a wide array of outputs and outcomes
Tweet Author Gender Identification. PAN 2016 Task
No full textThe paper presents an experiment of tweet’s author gender detection. We used PAN 2016 data and task description and have build an application that decides whether an analysed tweet has been written by man or woman. Multiple texts’ characteristics are used as features in the application, such as: references to pictures, to web pages, to other people, emojis, hashtags and a number of words that are associated with tweets written by women and men respectively. For 100 random tweets we obtained average accuracy 0.61. This is good result although it is not as good as the best one in PAN 2016 task
Compressive Sensing for PAN-Sharpening
No full textBased on compressive sensing framework and sparse reconstruction technology, a new pan-sharpening method, named Sparse Fusion of Images (SparseFI, pronounced as sparsify), is proposed in [1]. In this paper, the proposed SparseFI algorithm is validated using UltraCam and WorldView-2 data. Visual and statistic analysis show superior performance of SparseFI compared to the existing conventional pan-sharpening methods in general, i.e. rich in spatial information and less spectral distortion. Moreover, popular quality assessment metrics are employed to explore the dependency on regularization parameters and evaluate the efficiency of various sparse reconstruction toolboxes
The Great Pan: rebirth of a god in English literature

Forster e nel romanzo 'The Goat-Foot God' di Dion Fortune, nell'ambito della rinascita novecentesca della figura del dio e del suo culto
Longizonitis, a new nemognathine genus from the Himalayas (Coleoptera, Meloidae)
No full textThe new blister beetle genus Longizonitis Pan and Bologna is described. The genus is referred to the tribe Nemognathini, subfamily Nemognathinae, and its relationships are briefly discussed. It is distributed in southern China (Yunnan, SE Xizang, and probably Fujian) and India (Uttarakhand), in a transitional area between the Palaearctic and Oriental regions. The type species, Longizonitis semirubra (Pic, 1911), comb. n., is re-described and illustrated
“Sergipanamericanos”: a mídia televisiva de Sergipe no Pan Rio-2007
No full textEste estudo analisou a cobertura jornalística sobre os atletas sergipanos que participaram dos Jogos Pan-Americanos do Rio de Janeiro a partir da mídia televisiva. O material de análise desta pesquisa descritiva, com enfoque qualitativo, foi uma matéria veiculada em dezembro de 2007 em uma emissora local que apontou a retrospectiva deste grande evento esportivo para Sergipe. Há uma evidente tentativa de “sergipanizar” os atletas em função da naturalidade, ainda que estes residam e treinem fora do estado. A estratégia da mídia televisiva recorre à dialética local-global para criar entre os telespectadores um sentimento de identidade com os atletas.Rede cede
Pan-americanismo no Brasil: uma abordagem conceitual a partir do Estado Novo
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2013.Esta dissertação objetivou investigar o conceito de pan-americanismo no Brasil, suas repercussões, ressignificações e práticas políticas a ele associados durante o período que culminou com o envolvimento do país na Segunda Guerra Mundial, enfatizando as aparentes contradições entre uma ideia de pan-americanismo e o discurso de sustentação do Estado Novo. Como história de um conceito político, apoiada nas considerações de Reinhart Kosselleck e Quentin Skinner, a busca pelos antecedentes do pan-americanismo no Brasil se fez necessária, de modo a elucidar as maneiras com que o conceito repercutiu no país desde suas origens nos Estados Unidos, e os desdobramentos posteriores das Conferências Pan-Americanas e das atividades da União Pan-Americana. Tal busca serviu para elucidar os elementos de um "pan-americanismo brasileiro", ou seja, de um conceito externo que foi apropriado em um diferente contexto com diferentes fins políticos durante as três primeiras décadas do século XX. Isso faz a ligação entre a "ideia pan-americana" e a política externa brasileira do período Vargas e, mais especificamente, do Estado Novo, quando o Brasil foi para a guerra. Foi visto, assim, que o Estado Novo utilizou o pan-americanismo como instrumento de aproximação aos Estados Unidos, com objetivos de premência sobre a América do Sul durante um período de crise mundial, e ao mesmo tempo viu-se obrigado a reajustar o discurso da ?ideia pan-americana? aos princípios antiliberais que sustentavam o regime, sofrendo as consequências políticas desta tentativa de ajuste. Abstract : This dissertation aimed to investigate the concept of pan Americanism in Brazil, its repercussions, meanings and political uses associated to it during the period that culminated with the involvement in the Second World War, emphasizing the apparent contradictions related to a pan American idea and the ideas that sustained the Brazilian Estado Novo regime. As a history of a political concept, supported by the considerations of Reinhart Koselleck and Quentin Skinner, the search for the previous history of pan Americanism in Brazil was necessary. It elucidated the ways which the concept reverberated in Brazil since its origins in the United States, and its later results at the Pan American Conferences and the activities of the Pan American Union. This search helped in elucidating the elements of a "Brazilian pan Americanism", i. e., a foreign concept which was reframed to a different context with different political aims during the first three decades of the 20th century. From this on, it was possible to establish a connection between the "pan American idea" and the Vargas regime foreign policy, mainly, the Estado Novo, when Brazil went to war. It was found that the Estado Novo used pan Americanism as an instrument for approach towards United States, aiming a South American prevalence during the period of world crisis, and, at the same time, was obliged to adjust the pan American discourse to the anti-liberal principles that sustained the regime
