    En este artículo nos interesa indagar los "vecinazos" de comienzos de los ochenta en Argentina, pero a la luz de un análisis micro, atendiendo a la conflictividad vecinal en Rafaela, en el Centro-oeste de la provincia de Santa Fe. Nos proponemos analizar sus orígenes y desarrollo, detectar sus principales actores, describir las acciones contenciosas desplegadas y las relaciones con la autoridad política local.Fil: Tonon, María Cecilia.

    Rock tunnel groundwater prediction in a simulated rock fracture network

    No full text
    Chen and Tonon (2011) showed that groundwater inflows in rock tunnels typically concentrate in narrow zones where conducting fractures cluster together. A geostatistical methodology was proposed to simulate clustered fractures. In this paper, the resulting discrete fracture network is generated and simplified. An existing analytical-numerical method (Long et al., 1985) for steady fluid flow in three-dimensional, random networks of fractures is improved and used to simulate groundwater flow and predict groundwater inflow into tunnels. Several synthetic tunnel cases and an actual case history at the South Cobb Tunnel Project (GA) are used to validate the flow analysis. It is found that flow concentration can be reproduced by using the proposed technique in the simulated discrete fracture network

    Some properties of a random set approximation to upper and lower distribution functions

    No full text
    AbstractInformation on an uncertain real variable is oftentimes conveyed using upper and lower distribution functions, which define a credal set, M. The paper explores the properties of a random set (random interval) approximation, R, to the upper and lower distribution functions carried out using the outer discretization method (ODM) introduced by the author as a generalization to an algorithm proposed in Williamson and Downs [R.C. Williamson, T. Downs, Probabilistic arithmetic. i. Numerical methods for calculating convolutions and dependency bounds, Int. J. Approx. Reason. 4 (1990) 89–158]. It is shown that probability bounds calculated using the ODM random sets, R, always contain the probability bounds calculated using M. This result holds even in the multivariate case (when each marginal is ODM discretized into a random set, R) regardless of the concept of dependence or independence adopted. The bound inclusion is also true for the image of a function defined on those variables. Finer discretizations of the original credal sets yield tighter or equal probability bounds. Since the ODM yields a random set, R, the information can be modeled either using probability measures of the measurable selections or the credal set of the belief and plausibility of R. It is proven that both models yield the same probability bounds and that the Choquet integrals of the belief and plausibility of R are the inferior and superior, respectively, of the expectations calculated using the measurable selections. However, the probabilistic information conveyed by the measurable selections may be more restrictive than the information contained in the credal set of the belief and plausibility of R

    El trabajo que presentamos en este libro es el resultado de dos proyectos de investigación desarrollados por el equipo UNICOM de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad Nacional de Lomas deZamora, con la participación de investigadores externos.Ambos proyectos se encuentran enmarcados en el Programa LOMASCyT de la Universidad Nacional de Lomas de Zamora. El primer proyecto titulado Calidad de vida de niños y niñas de 8 a 10 años: un estudio en la Provincia de Buenos Aires, se desarrolló durante el bienio 2015-2016.El segundo proyecto titulado Calidad de vida de niños y niñas de 12 años en la Provincia de Buenos Aires, se desarrolló durante el bienio 2017-2018.Se trabajó en total con 1774 niños y niñas de entre 8, 10 y 12 años de edad que viven en distintas localidades de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, algunas correspondientes al Gran Buenos Aires y otras al interior de la provincia. En todos los casos se contó con la autorización de padres,madres y/o tutores de niños y niñas y con la colaboración del personal de las escuelas en las cuales se aplicó el cuestionario.Fil: Tonon, Graciela Haydee.

    Metaphors as evidence of depression. Investigating the mental representation of depressive disorders

    No full text
    This study aims at investigating the metaphorical expressions stemming from the experience of depression to deepen our comprehension of this mental disorder and its consequences. To this end, four online fora dealing with mental illness were selected to gather data concerning the metaphorical description of depression as offered by online users who suffer from it. The personal accounts of 71 users were chosen to qualitatively analyse the most recurrent metaphorical patterns employed to conceptualise depression. The results were interpreted by means of the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and the Embodied Cognition Theory (ECT). According to the CMT, linguistic metaphors are a reflection of our innate capacity to think metaphorically in order to create mental models of reality based on analogical and associative mode of thinking, two powerful mental forces of the human cognitive system. This is the reason why metaphors, due to their cognitive power, are able to shape our mental comprehension of the world by organising and constructing a cognitive representation of reality. Moreover, as claimed by the ECT, metaphors stem from our daily interactions with the world which are unconsciously internasalised and later used as a conceptual basis to structure abstract, subjective and intangible domains of experience. By combining these two frameworks of reference, the study re-constructs a view of the conceptual world of depression. Not only does this analysis offer an insight into the depressive disorder, but it also contributes to show that the conceptual world of depression is not only thought and conceptualised, but it is also intensely experienced and lived, in line with the hypothesis that conceptualisation entails simulation.Il presente studio si propone di individuare ed analizzare le principali concettualizzazioni metaforiche che governano la comprensione concettuale della depressione. Per raggiungere tale scopo, sono stati scelti quattro fora online dedicati alle malattie mentali e dai quali sono stati selezionati 71 utenti che descrivessero il loro disturbo depressivo in termini metaforici. I dati raccolti sono stati interpretati secondo i principi della Teoria della Metafora Concettuale (TMC) e della teoria dell’Embodied Cognition (TEC). Secondo la TMC, le metafore linguistiche riflettono l’innata capacità umana di pensare in termini metaforici per creare modelli mentali della realtà. Tale capacità affonderebbe le sue radici nelle abilità analogiche e associative tipiche del sistema cognitivo umano. Pertanto, considerata la loro natura essenzialmente cognitiva, le metafore sono in grado di plasmare la nostra comprensione mentale del mondo organizzando e costruendo una rappresentazione cognitiva della realtà. Inoltre, come sostenuto dalla TEC, le metafore emergono come conseguenza delle nostre interazioni quotidiane con il mondo, le quali verrebbero inconsciamente interiorizzate e successivamente sfruttate come base concettuale per strutturare domini di esperienza particolarmente astratti, soggettivi ed intangibili. Coniugando i principi della Teoria della Metafora Concettuale e quelli della teoria dell’Embodied Cognition, il presente studio si propone di ricostruire il mondo concettuale della depressione. Tale indagine permette dunque di raggiungere una comprensione molto particolareggiata del disturbo depressivo. In aggiunta, la presente analisi contribuisce a dimostrare come il mondo della depressione non venga solo pensato e concettualizzato, bensì anche intensamente vissuto e sperimentato concretamente, in linea con l’ipotesi per cui concettualizzare significherebbe simulare
