Branislava Susnik, Slovenian and Paraguayan: A humanist at the crossroads of worlds, the 20th century
No full textSe presenta una semblanza de la antropóloga Branislava Susnik (1920- 1996) en la que se intenta mostrar aspectos de su personalidad, su trabajo cotidiano, sus rasgos humanos manifiestos y su labor como responsable y conductora del Museo Etnográfico “Andrés Barbero” de Asunción (Paraguay). El aporte tiene el formato de un ensayo evocativo en el que se toman en cuenta los métodos habituales aplicados en la concepción de una historia de vida y la autobiografía. El texto recuerda y repasa su labor y cualidades como docente, los trabajos de campo y académico realizados, sus principales líneas de investigación, los avatares de su vida, así como datos diversos vertidos en el transcurso de encuentros mantenidos durante más de una veintena de años. Se agregan relatos y escenas personalísimas en las que el autor fue testigo presencial.A semblance of the anthropologist Branislava Susnik (1920-1996), with an attempt to show certain aspects of her personality, her daily job, her evident human features and her work as responsible and leader of the Ethnographic Museum “Andrés Barbero” of Asunción (Paraguay), is presented. This contribution is in the form of an evocative essay, in which usual methods for conceiving a life history and an autobiography are taken into account. The text is a reminder and a compilation of her work and qualities as a teacher, her fieldwork and academic production, her main lines of research, the vicissitudes of her life and diverse data that come from meetings which took place for more than twenty years. Stories and very personal scenes of which the author was an eyewitness are added.Fil: Arenas Rodriguez, Pastor. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

Comparison of Pre and Post Development Low Flow Conditions for Drina River
No full textAbstractExtreme hydrological events are significant for river basin management and very important input for future development. However, comparison between pre and post development conditions is often neglected in extreme events assessment. Analyses of low flow conditions as a significant hydrological parameter are of the great importance for transboundary Drina River Basin, since it is a source of clean fresh water with significant potential for hydropower development. Hydrological analyses presented here reflect low flow statistics comparison for pre and post development conditions. Evaluated time series correspond to periods prior and after development of existing dams, reservoirs and hydropower plants. Confidence intervals estimation for different scenarios underline uncertainty associated with low flow assessment. The results indicate importance of comparison for pre and post development conditions with respect to extreme events and generate recommendations for future hydrological analyses in Drina River Basin and other river basins

From definition to the operacionalization, with emphasis on the research on violence
No full textThis paper intends to draw attention to the process which starts with definition and ends with operacionalization, and serves the building of notion apparatus as something which precedes the research. Apart from general discussion, the paper includes the overview of definition and operacionalization problems related to the notion of violence. The author concludes that empirical data which are deprived of theoretical and methodological foundation are able neither to discover nor to explain deeper connections and relationships between phenomena. As a result, empirical data without notion framework and scientific aim, in some of research carried out in Serbia during last decade, have limited value

Assessment of changes in precipitation intensities in Ontario
No full textThe intensities of short-duration rainfalls are fundamental inputs to
design of stormwater management infrastructure for urban areas. Such
infrastructure, are designed, in part, to control urban flooding and require
specification of storms for specific recurrence intervals. However, implicit in
design tasks of stormwater infrastructure is the need for the infrastructure to
function for many decades. Given that there is widespread evidence that
climate change is likely occurring, there is extensive interest in whether the
frequencies of urban storms are changing and hence, whether urban
infrastructure designs need to be changed in response to the global climate
change reality.
To examine whether the recurrence intervals of severe storms are
changing, historical records for thirteen locations distributed throughout
Ontario are evaluated. The results of the analyses of the historical records for
rainfall intensity/recurrence interval/duration are provided for each of these
locations, and demonstrate there is evidence that rainfall intensities are,
indeed, changing in Ontario.The author has granted a nonexclusive license allowing Library and Archives Canada to reproduce, publish, archive, preserve, conserve, communicate to the public by telecommunication or on the Internet, loan, distribute and sell theses worldwide, for commercial or noncommercial purposes, in microform, paper, electronic and/or any other formats.

Perspektive integracije zapadnoevropskih železnica
No full textThe author first deal with the essence of integration processes on the EC member state railways to point out the problems related to the discontinuation of the state patronage over the railways. Forecasts refer to the introduction of the European 'Agency for high-speed railway systems, privatization of the railways and opening of the railways to the competitive trends of the services market. In the light of the fact that these measures affect, apart from the EC member state railways, the Austrian and Swiss Railways, also it seems inevitable that the Yugoslav Railways must find their respective place in the process.</p
Uticaj klasifikacije teksta na primene u obradi prirodnih jezika
No full textThe main goal of this dissertation is to put different text classification tasks in
the same frame, by mapping the input data into the common vector space of linguistic
attributes. Subsequently, several classification problems of great importance for natural
language processing are solved by applying the appropriate classification algorithms.
The dissertation deals with the problem of validation of bilingual translation pairs, so
that the final goal is to construct a classifier which provides a substitute for human evaluation
and which decides whether the pair is a proper translation between the appropriate
languages by means of applying a variety of linguistic information and methods.
In dictionaries it is useful to have a sentence that demonstrates use for a particular dictionary
entry. This task is called the classification of good dictionary examples. In this thesis,
a method is developed which automatically estimates whether an example is good or bad
for a specific dictionary entry.
Two cases of short message classification are also discussed in this dissertation. In the
first case, classes are the authors of the messages, and the task is to assign each message
to its author from that fixed set. This task is called authorship identification. The other
observed classification of short messages is called opinion mining, or sentiment analysis.
Starting from the assumption that a short message carries a positive or negative attitude
about a thing, or is purely informative, classes can be: positive, negative and neutral.
These tasks are of great importance in the field of natural language processing and the
proposed solutions are language-independent, based on machine learning methods: support
vector machines, decision trees and gradient boosting. For all of these tasks, a
demonstration of the effectiveness of the proposed methods is shown on for the Serbian
language.Osnovni cilj disertacije je stavljanje različitih zadataka klasifikacije teksta u
isti okvir, preslikavanjem ulaznih podataka u isti vektorski prostor lingvističkih atributa..
