Digitization of religious artifacts with a structured light scanner
Authors: Graciano Alejandro , Ortega Lidia , Segura Rafael J. , Feito Francisco R.
Published: July 2017

The digitization process for religious artifacts is subject to inherent difficulties often ignored in theoretical models or pipelines. In this paper we aim to describe these problems, which are present in practical environments such as temples and churches, using white light scanners instead of other common devices or technologies such as laser scanners and photogrammetry. Our case study is based on the digitization of two religious statues belonging to a Catholic brotherhood located in a village of the Province of Jaén (Spain), one of them presenting especially several limitations. After performing the scanning process with a portable hand-held scanner, the images captured were processed until the final models were acquired. On the basis of the results obtained, we discuss the problems arising after using well-known procedures for the reconstruction of 3D models, their causes and some possible solutions to achieving a correct digitization. It should be noted that it is not the aim of this study to establish procedures for the digitization of religious artifacts, but rather to transmit the inherent constraints of these types of scenes.
Recreating a medieval urban scene with virtual intelligent characters: steps to create the complete scenario
Authors: Cláudio Ana Paula , Carmo Maria Beatriz , De Carvalho Alexandre Antonio , Xavier Willian , Antunes Rui Filipe
Published: July 2017

From historical advice to 3D modeling and programming, the process of reconstructing cultural heritage sites populated with virtual inhabitants is lengthy and expensive, and it requires a large set of skills and tools. These constraints make it increasingly difficult, however not unattainable, for small archaeological sites to build their own simulations. In this article, we describe our attempt to minimize this scenario. We describe a framework that makes use of free tools or campus licenses and integrates the curricular work of students in academia. We present the details of methods and tools used in the pipeline of the construction of the virtual simulation of the medieval village of Mértola in the south of Portugal. We report on: a) the development of a lightweight model of the village, including houses and terrain, and b) its integration in a game engine in order to c) include a virtual population of autonomous inhabitants in a simulation running in real-time.

Published: July 2017

Abstract. Recent studies strongly suggest that a majority of the observed O+ cusp outflows will eventually escape into the solar wind, rather than be transported to the plasma sheet. Therefore, an investigation of plasma sheet flows will add to these studies and give a more complete picture of magnetospheric ion dynamics. Specifically, it will provide a greater understanding of atmospheric loss. We have used Cluster spacecraft 4 to quantify the H+ and O+ total transports in the near-Earth plasma sheet, using data covering 2001–2005. The results show that both H+ and O+ have earthward net fluxes of the orders of 1026 and 1024 s−1, respectively. The O+ plasma sheet return flux is 1 order of magnitude smaller than the O+ outflows observed in the cusps, strengthening the view that most ionospheric O+ outflows do escape. The H+ return flux is approximately the same as the ionospheric outflow, suggesting a stable budget of H+ in the magnetosphere. However, low-energy H+, not detectable by the ion spectrometer, is not considered in our study, leaving the complete magnetospheric H+ circulation an open question. Studying tailward flows separately reveals a total tailward O+ flux of about 0. 5 × 1025 s−1, which can be considered as a lower limit of the nightside auroral region O+ outflow. Lower velocity flows ( < 100 km s−1) contribute most to the total transports, whereas the high-velocity flows contribute very little, suggesting that bursty bulk flows are not dominant in plasma sheet mass transport.
Assessment of methods for seasonal streamflow forecasting in the
Upper Indus Basin of Pakistan
Authors: Charles Stephen P. , Wang Quan J. , Ahmad Mobin-ud-Din , Hashmi Danial , Schepen Andrew , Podger Geoff
Published: July 2017

Abstract. Timely and skilful seasonal streamflow forecasts are used by water managers in many regions of the world for seasonal water allocation outlooks for irrigators, reservoir operations, environmental flow management, water markets and drought response strategies. In Australia, the Bayesian joint probability (BJP) statistical approach has been deployed by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology to provide seasonal streamflow forecasts across the country since 2010. Here we assess the BJP approach, using antecedent conditions and climate indices as predictors, to produce Kharif season (April-September) streamflow forecasts for inflow to Pakistan's two largest Upper Indus Basin (UIB) water supply dams, Tarbela (on the Indus) and Mangla (on the Jhelum). For Mangla, we compare these BJP forecasts to (i) ensemble streamflow predictions (ESP) from the snowmelt runoff model (SRM) and (ii) a hybrid approach using the BJP with SRM-ESP forecast means as an additional predictor. For Tarbela, we only assess BJP forecasts using antecedent and climate predictors as we did not have access to SRM for this location. Cross validation of the streamflow forecasts show that the BJP approach using two predictors (March flow and an ENSO climate index) provides skilful probabilistic forecasts that are reliable in uncertainty spread for both Mangla and Tarbela. For Mangla, the SRM approach leads to forecasts that exhibit some bias and are unreliable in uncertainty spread, and the hybrid approach does not result in better forecast skill. Skill levels for Kharif (April–September), early Kharif (April–June) and late Kharif (July–September) BJP forecasts vary between the two locations. Forecasts for Mangla show high skill for early Kharif and moderate skill for all Kharif and late Kharif, whereas forecasts for Tarbela also show moderate skill for all Kharif and late Kharif, but low skill for early Kharif. The BJP approach is simple to apply, with small input data requirements and automated calibration and forecast generation. It offers a tool for rapid deployment at many locations across the UIB to provide probabilistic seasonal streamflow forecasts that can inform Pakistan's basin water management.
Una herida abierta. Tensiones y contrapuntos discursivos en Dos veces junio y Ciencias morales, de Martín Kohan
Authors: Valcheff García Fernando Nahuel
Published: July 2017

El presente trabajo busca indagar acerca de los modos en los que operan las tensiones y contrapuntos discursivos en Dos veces junio (2002) y Ciencias morales (2007), de Martín Kohan. Para ello, se toman como punto de partida los diversos sentidos en pugna que atraviesan ambas novelas en relación con la norma impuesta y su transgresión, el discurso oficial y el marginal, lo manifiesto y lo velado, con el objetivo de identificar y analizar cómo se configuran las estrategias textuales que el autor pone a funcionar en su escritura, reinterpretando en clave literaria las tensiones sociales experimentadas durante la última dictadura cívico-militar en Argentina.
Historias de dictadura. Primeros cuentos de Sergio Ramírez
Authors: Ríos María del Pilar
Published: July 2017

Los primeros textos del escritor nicaragüense Sergio Ramírez presentan algunos elementos que conforman, a manera de mosaico, los principales rasgos de la vida individual y social durante la larga dictadura somocista (1936 – 1979). Poder, violencia, dependencia política, social y económica son algunas de las problemáticas que asoman y su tratamiento se acentúa o modifica entre una publicación y otra más allá del orden de aparición. Asimismo, en el marco de las luchas por la liberación encabezadas por el Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN), se cuestiona la función del arte y del intelectual. Propongo una serie de cuentos incluidos en Cuentos (1963), Nuevos Cuentos (1969) y Charles Atlas también muere (1976) en la que reviso, en primera instancia, la postura en torno al arte y al intelectual que exponen mediante la autofiguración del autor. Luego, exploro algunos elementos que conforman esos mundos narrativos y que funcionan como denuncia político-social al mismo tiempo que imaginan y reivindican una nueva nación en sintonía con los postulados presentes en las luchas revolucionarias.

Desbordes de lo humano: configuraciones del cuerpo en María Luisa Bombal y Diamela Eltit
Authors: Cabrera Mario Federico
Published: July 2017

El presente artículo compara la construcción de representaciones corporales femeninas en dos novelas de escritoras chilenas que atraviesan el siglo XX: La amortajada (1938) de María Luisa Bombal y Lumpérica (1983) de Diamela Eltit. La exposición se organiza en torno a la pregunta por el modo a través del cual  las autoras exploran los límites de lo humano y lo no- humano y de qué manera se inscriben y polemizan con los mandatos en torno a la producción simbólica de una corporalidad normativa. La hipótesis que estructura el trabajo sostiene que las autoras elaboran un posicionamiento crítico respecto de las formulaciones de la nación,  lo comunitario, lo humano y la subjetividad que se inscriben en la materialidad del cuerpo femenino.

Native Voices: Native Peoples’ Concepts of Health and Illness in New Mexico: opening a local conversation by hosting a national traveling exhibit
Authors: Bradley Patricia V. , Hall Laura J. , Hannigan Gale G. , Wood Frederick B.
Published: July 2017

Background: The University of New Mexico Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center hosted the National Library of Medicine’s Native Voices: Native Peoples’ Concepts of Health and Illness traveling exhibit. The authors’ goal was to promote local interest in the Native Voices exhibit, with an emphasis on making the exhibit content and materials available to American Indian communities throughout rural New Mexico.Case Presentation: We convened a daylong summit to highlight the exhibit and encourage discussion among 30 American Indian community health educators. The summit prompted the compilation and distribution of descriptions of 23 community projects that promote health and wellness. We also took a scaled-down version of the exhibit to 4 rural college campuses around the state that serve significant Native American student populations. Approximately 140 students and faculty interacted with the exhibit materials, and all 4 sites incorporated the exhibit into curriculum activities.Conclusions: A hosted national exhibit developed into a multifaceted, funded project that engaged with Native American communities. We demonstrated successful field deployment of a downsized, portable version of the full traveling exhibit to make meaningful connections with members of our outreach population.

Our journey to digital curation of the Jeghers Medical Index
Authors: Gawdyda Lori , Carter Kimbroe , Willson Mark , Bedford Denise
Published: July 2017

Background: Harold Jeghers, a well-known medical educator of the twentieth century, maintained a print collection of about one million medical articles from the late 1800s to the 1990s. This case study discusses how a print collection of these articles was transformed to a digital database.Case Presentation: Staff in the Jeghers Medical Index, St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, converted paper articles to Adobe portable document format (PDF)/A-1a files. Optical character recognition was used to obtain searchable text. The data were then incorporated into a specialized database. Lastly, articles were matched to PubMed bibliographic metadata through automation and human review. An online database of the collection was ultimately created. The collection was made part of a discovery search service, and semantic technologies have been explored as a method of creating access points.Conclusions: This case study shows how a small medical library made medical writings of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries available in electronic format for historic or semantic research, highlighting the efficiencies of contemporary information technology.
Using scenario-based training to promote information literacy among on-call consultant pediatricians
Authors: Pettersson Jonas , Bjorkander Emil , Bark Sirpa , Holmgren Daniel , Wekell Per
Published: July 2017

Background: Traditionally, teaching hospital staff to search for medical information relies heavily on educator-defined search methods. In contrast, the authors describe our experiences using real-time scenarios to teach on-call consultant pediatricians information literacy skills as part of a two-year continuing professional development program.Case Presentation: Two information-searching workshops were held at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden. During the workshops, pediatricians were presented with medical scenarios that were closely related to their clinical practice. Participants were initially encouraged to solve the problems using their own preferred search methods, followed by group discussions led by clinical educators and a medical librarian in which search problems were identified and overcome. The workshops were evaluated using questionnaires to assess participant satisfaction and the extent to which participants intended to implement changes in their clinical practice and reported actual change.Conclusions: A scenario-based approach to teaching clinicians how to search for medical information is an attractive alternative to traditional lectures. The relevance of such an approach was supported by a high level of participant engagement during the workshops and high scores for participant satisfaction, intended changes to clinical practice, and reported benefits in actual clinical practice.

Published: July 2017

Background: Two new directors were each charged by their institutions to catalyze transformational change in their libraries and to develop dynamic and evolving information ecosystems ready for the information challenges of the future. The directors approached this transformational change using a strategic, forward-looking approach.Results: This paper presents examples of actions that served as catalysts for change at the two libraries using Kotter’s Eight Steps of Change as a framework. Small and large changes are critical for successfully transforming library services, resources, and personnel.Conclusions: Libraries are faced with incredible pressure to adapt to meet emerging and intensifying information needs on today’s academic medical campuses. These pressures offer an opportunity for libraries to accelerate their evolution at the micro and macro levels. This commentary reports the expansion of new services and areas of support, enhancement of professional visibility of the libraries on their campuses, and overall, a more positive and productive environment at the respective institutions.

Published: July 2017

Šiuolaikinėje psichologijoje bei psichoterapijoje daug žinoma bei kalbama apie minčių svarbą, streso profilaktiką ir pozityvaus mąstymo poveikį ligų profilaktikai ir gydymui. Nauji psichofiziologijos ir neuropsichoanalizės bei genetikos tyrimai padėjo pamatą naujai mokslo krypčiai - psichogenetikai atsirasti. Psichogenetika bendrąja prasme nagrinėja žmogaus psichinių ir genetinių mechanizmų tarpusavio sąveiką bei įtaką sveikatai. Atskirų genų, t.y DNR atkarpų, pasireiškimas arba nepasireiškimas yra ne mažiau svarbūs nei pati DNR struktūra. Šiuos genų funkcijos pokyčius, nesusijusius su branduolio DNR nukleotidų sekų pokyčiais, nagrinėja genetikos mokslo šaka epigenetika. Epigenetinis (angl. epigenetic)efektas reguliuoja genų veikimą ir yra susijęs su paveldimais, tačiau potencialiai grįžtamais, genų raiškos, bet ne pačios DNR sekos pokyčiais. Epigenetiniai veiksniai keičia genų pasireiškimą, drauge nekeisdami DNR struktūros bei pasižymi plastiškumu reaguojant į išorinius ir vidinius veiksnius. Nauji mokslo tyrimai parodė, kad šiais veiksniais gali būti ne tik cheminės medžiagos ar maistas, bet ir psichologiniai: pozityvus mąstymas, optimizmas, adekvati reakcija į stresą.

O carbonato de lítio é medicamento estabilizador de humor utilizado no tratamento do transtorno bipolar que acomete cerca de 1% da população brasileira, sendo a patologia mais associada ao uso indevido de substâncias psicoativas que levam à dependência química. O tratamento desta condição é complexo e pode utiliza a polimedicação como ferramenta farmacoterapêutica, o que dá margem à possibilidade da ocorrência de interações medicamentosas. Este trabalho teve o objetivo de analisar prescrições médicas contendo carbonato de lítio e identificar a presença de interações medicamentosas, em uma clínica de reabilitação. Foram analisadas prescrições de cinco pacientes no período de três semanas de terapia, utilizando como fonte de informação as plataformas Drugs.com com acesso livre na internet. Foram localizadas nas prescrições analisadas 19 interações medicamentosas envolvendo carbonato de lítio. Na maior parte dos casos a conduta clínica recomendada é o monitoramento do paciente com relação à intoxicação pelo lítio e ao aparecimento de reações adversas. Fica evidente a necessidade do profissional farmacêutico na equipe multiprofissional, prestando cuidado ao paciente, de forma a otimizar a farmacoterapia, promover saúde e bem-estar e prevenir doenças.

Este estudo busca identificar a existência de um padrão no comércio intraindustrial (CII) do Brasil, com países desenvolvidos e países em desenvolvimento. Para essa análise, utiliza-se o índice Grubel-Lloyd, a partir de dados de exportações e importações agregados ao nível de dois dígitos do Sistema Harmonizado, entre 1997 e 2013. Evidenciou-se que os níveis de comércio intraindustrial podem se intensificar em determinadas indústrias, a partir da participação em acordos comerciais preferenciais. O estudo verificou possibilidade de CII em determinadas indústrias entre Brasil e as nações desenvolvidas, algo que sugere que o CII pode atuar como mecanismo para o progresso técnico. No entanto, observou-se a não existência de rigoroso padrão nos níveis de comércio intraindustrial entre Brasil e o grupo de países desenvolvidos ou entre o grupo de países em desenvolvimento, considerando a amostra de produtos selecionados (bens industrializados).

A predição de eventos erosivos é de grande importância nas terras do Baixo São Francisco-BSF, onde as praticas de manejo inadequado vem provocando degradação das áreas cultivadas e matas ciliares com consequente avanço de processos erosivos nas margens do rio. A Equação Universal de Perda de Solos (EUPS) é um modelo queutiliza dados pluviométricos, tipos de solos, declividade do terreno e uso do solo, para calcular o quanto de solo uma determinada área pode perder em um ano. O objetivo desse trabalho foi estimar as perdas de solo a partir de parâmetros orientados pela EUPS no Baixo São Francisco sergipano. O BSF ocupa uma área de 3.201.300 ha, se iniciando em Paulo Afonso-BA, com sua Foz entre Piaçabuçu-AL e Brejo Grande-SE, e o trecho somente no estado de Sergipe ocupa uma área de 738.754ha aproximadamente, onde foi estimada a perda de solos utilizando o software ArcGis 9.0.Nas áreas de pastagem que são predominantes na Bacia, com ocupação maior que a metade do BSF (76,26%) foram encontrados valores que variaram de 0 a 0,33 t ha-1 ano-1 de perda de solo. A utilização da EUPS se constitui em uma ferramenta muito útil para o Planejamento Conservacionista.

A fertirrigação assume papel importante na fase de produção de mudas de frutíferas, pois garante bom desenvolvimento e precocidade na produção. Sendo assim, objetivou-se neste estudo avaliar os efeitos de doses de nitrogênio no crescimento de porta-enxertos de goiabeira amarela. O experimento foi conduzido na Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso (UNEMAT), campus de Nova Xavantina, no período de 12 de setembro a 02 de dezembro de 2015, utilizando o delineamento experimental em blocos ao acaso, para a análise de produção, com 5 tratamentos (0; 150; 300; 450 e 600 mg.dm-3 de N), e para análise de crescimento utilizou-se fatorial duplo, sendo nove analises de crescimento (44, 51, 58, 65, 72, 79, 86, 93 e 100 dias após a semeadura) e 5 doses de nitrogênio, e quatro repetições e dez plantas por parcela. A fertirrigação procedeu-se de uma solução de água mais doses de nitrogênio, variando de acordo com cada tratamento. Foram avaliadas as características para a análise de crescimento: altura da parte aérea, número de folhas, diâmetro do colo, e para a análise de produção altura da parte aérea, número de folhas, diâmetro do colo, comprimento do sistema radicular, massa verde e seca das folhas, caule e raízes foi avaliada aos 100 DAS. Conclui-se que as doses de 300 e 450 mg.dm-3 foram mais efetivas no crescimento de porta-enxertos de goiabeira amarela, indicando que as mudas estavam aptas para serem transplantadas no campo aos 72 e 79 DAS, e aos 100 DAS foram observados os maiores valores para todas as características avaliadas na dosagem de 300 mg.dm-3.

Published: July 2017

Objective

The aim of this research is to identify and analyze the measures for the assessment of stressful life events created/adapted for its use in Spanish adult population, published in national and international literature, with a focus on psychometric properties and its association with health measures.

Methods

A systematic review was carried out to identify all instruments identified through searches of MEDLINE; ProQuest Health and Medical Complete; ProQuest Psychology Journals; PsycARTICLES; PsycINFO; Psicodoc; OpenSIGLE from inception until 31 January 2016. Two independent researchers assessed the eligibility criteria of all articles, subtracted data and assessed its psychometric properties.

Results

Twelve measures, which satisfied the inclusion criteria, were selected. The measures showed a large heterogeneity. Most of them did not include any information on its psychometric properties or needed to provide further data, since a few of them assessed its test-retest stability and/or internal structure. The questionnaires created or adapted by González de Rivera y Morena (1983), Sandín y Chorot (1987), Fernández y Mielgo (1992), Gracia y Herrero (2004), and Motrico et al. (2013) showed significant associations with health variables.

Discussion

Further research is needed to clarify the association of these instruments with mental and physical health measures, which would facilitate its clinical application. These results are very useful in order to select a measure for the assessment of stressful life events in clinical practice and research in Spain.
An investigation of enhancement of ability evaluation by using a nested logit model for multiple-choice items
Authors: Xin Tao , Wang Mengcheng , Liu Tour
Published: July 2017

Multiple-choice item is wildly used in psychological and educational test. The present study investigated that if a multiple-choice item have an advantage than a dichotomous item on ability evaluation.An item response model,nested logitmodel (NLM),was used to fit the multiple-choice data. Both simulation study and empirical study indicated that the accuracy and the stability of ability estimation were enhanced by using multiple-choice model rather than dichotomous model, because more information was included in multiple-choice items’ distractors. But the accuracy of ability parameter estimation showed little differences in 4-choice items, 5-choice items and 6-choice items. Moreover, NLM could extract more information from low-level respondents than from high-level ones, because they hadmore distractor chosen behaviors. Furthermore, respondents at different trait levels would be attracted by different distractors in an empirical study of a Chinese Vocabulary Test for Grade 1 by using the changing traces of distractor probabilities calculated from NLM. It is suggested that the responses of students at different levelsmight reflect the students’ vocabulary development process.

The objective of this study was to incorporate the integrated regulation assessment into the Academic Motivation Scale within the Spanish initial teacher education context. There were 496 student participants (233 men and 263 women; Mage = 25.70, SD = 4.23) from the Masters in Teaching for Compulsory Secondary Education, Upper Secondary School Education and Professional Education, and Language Teaching. The confirmatory factor analysis showed acceptable fit-indexes for the eight-factor correlated structure and an invariant factor structure across genders. Internal consistency and temporal stability were satisfactory for each of the eight factors. The linear regression analysis indicated that integrated regulation was the strongest predictor of intention to become a teacher. This new instrument may contribute to a deeper understanding of the motivational processes involved in the initial teacher education context.

From the results of a research aimed at improving the quality of life of families with a child with intellectual disability, the purpose of this paper is to provide a methodology for the implementation of the family-centered model in early childhood intervention centers in our country. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of the collected data allow us to systematize the steps or stages that would be necessary to provide professionals and families in early intervention centers with useful tools to empower the families and to enhance the children’s development. This article represents another step further from the proposals made by other researchers in other countries with different traditions and culture in the field of early intervention, and intends to reflect the characteristics of our country in terms of the history and the path of early intervention in recent decades.

The present study analyzes individual and group heart rate responses in exercising adult women. The specific aim was to compare responses during routine workout sessions within a community exercise program with responses during a purpose-designed workout session targeting diverse motor skills. Sixty-seven adult women with a mean ± SD age of 65.1 ± 11.7 years participated in the study. Two representative sessions were analyzed: a standard workout session the women took at the local community center and an ad hoc session designed to build on a variety of motor skills and capabilities. Observational methodology was used to collect categorical data on motor skill performance during each session using the OSMOS-in context observation instrument. Continuous heart rate data were recorded for all participants during each session. A combined analysis of categorical and continuous data was undertaken using Hidden Markov Models. The results show that the session targeting a greater diversity of motor skills not only met the cardiovascular fitness recommendations of the American College of Sports Medicine, but resulted in greater individual variability and greater synchrony between participants than the routine session.
Análisis observacional de la organización acerca de la persistencia en el trabajo académico en el aula, aplicando análisis de datos complementarios

Published: July 2017

The aim of this study was to analyze the organization of on-task behavior in the classroom. Four observational methodology techniques—T-pattern detection, lag sequential analysis, trend analysis, and polar coordinate analysis—were used to study the organization of on-task and off-task behavioral patterns during class time in a primary school setting. The specific objective was to detect and explore relationships between on-task behavior and different social interaction categories in relation to the actual distribution of activities in a real-life classroom setting. The study was conducted using the behavioral observation system for social interaction SOC-IS and the software programs Theme (version 6, Edu), SDIS-GSEQ (version 4.1.2), HOISAN (version 1.6), and STATGRAPHICS (version 6). We describe the results obtained for the four techniques and discuss the methodological implications of combining complementary techniques in a single study.
¿Cómo ven la universidad privada los estudiantes preuniversitarios? Un estudio exploratorio mediante la combinación de redes semánticas naturales y despliegue multidimensional
Authors: Gutiérrez-Villar Belén , Alcaide-Pulido Purificación , Carbonero-Ruz Mariano
Published: July 2017

Se presenta una investigación en la que se estudian los atributos determinantes en la construcción de imagen de la universidad privada, de forma genérica sin alusiones a marcas, recurriendo a una muestra de conveniencia de preuniversitarios en Andalucía. Como metodología se propone una investigación exploratoria con la combinación de dos técnicas poco habituales: la técnica Redes Semánticas Naturales, y una técnica cuantitativa de escalamiento denominada despliegue multidimensional. Los resultados apuntan hacia la presencia de dos dimensiones diferentes: asociados a los resultados esperados de la universidad privada (formación, empleo e idioma) y según la implicación requerida del discente (esfuerzo e intercambios) y se perciben diferencias según el sexo y la naturaleza del centro de pertenencia del alumnado. Además, se aportan evidencias de las ventajas de la combinación de técnicas como mecanismo de triangulación, pues utilizando procedimientos de análisis diferentes sobre el mismo fenómeno se constata una mejor comprensión del problema de investigación.
Evaluación de un proyecto de educación emprendedora en la ESO. La visión del alumnado
Authors: Cárdenas Gutiérrez Antonio Ramón , Montoro Fernández Elisabet
Published: July 2017

Es una investigación mixta y descriptiva, teniendo como objetivos conocer el efecto en el potencial emprendedor del alumnado que ha participado en los programas ÍCARO y EJE, y comprender cómo las experiencias vividas han contribuido al desarrollo de los indicadores personales del potencial emprendedor. Cuantitativamente, participaron 182 estudiantes entre grupo control y experimental, contestando al test ATE. Cualitativamente, se seleccionaron a los 10 que más aumentaron su potencial emprendedor y a los 10 con menor puntuación.  El efecto de los programas se evaluó mediante un análisis de la varianza con un diseño factorial 2x2 con medidas repetidas y los datos se analizaron mediante una ANOVA mixto. La información de las entrevistas fue analizada mediante un análisis semiótico y narrativo. Según los datos cuantitativos no existe un claro efecto sobre el potencial emprendedor y las entrevistas desvelan que ambos programas parecen no configurarse adecuadamente para incidir en los indicadores personales del potencial emprendedor.
Translation in the European Parliament: The Study of the Ideational Function in Technical Texts (EN/FR/ES)
Authors: Veroz María Azahara
Published: July 2017

In this paper we tackle the study of European Parliament technical texts in three languages, namely English-Spanish-French, focusing on their discursive features and, more concretely, on the way in which the ideational function is expressed in them. To achieve this end, we have followed the frame of the Systemic Functional Grammar compiling a trilingual parallel corpus composed of technical texts downloaded from the European Parliament (EP) Website.

In accordance with the analysis proposed it is proved that these texts are characterized by a predominance of material processes, in particular, actions linked to the legal, administrative and economic world like adopt, approve, modify, create, transmit, publish, establish and sign, with their respective equivalents in Spanish and French. Although there are certain processes – mental (cognition) and verbal ones – that could have a mixed nature, as we have observed that equivalents are exchanged with each other in the different linguistic versions studied.

Regarding the participants (agent, affected, recipient, beneficiary and sayer), most of them are institutions and acts/documents, when these participants in these processes are usually humans. We conclude that knowledge of these features could be useful for EU translators and should be used in the training of future translators as a guide in the translation process.
Corpus Methodologies in Literary Translation Studies: An Analysis of Speech Verbs in Four Spanish Translations of Hard Times
Authors: Ruano Pablo
Published: July 2017

In this article, speech verbs in Dickens’s Hard Times (1854) and their translation into Spanish are analyzed. Apart from their basic function of introducing speech, these verbs can also contribute to characterization. The regular occurrence of a particular speech verb to report the direct speech of a particular character helps to create a fictional personality. Given the important role they may play, the rendering of such verbs in four Spanish versions of this novel is assessed. To do so, a corpus-based methodology has been employed. A concordancing software was used to retrieve speech verbs from the original novel, allowing their close analysis in context. Then, using an aligned parallel corpus containing the four versions, a comparison was carried out to see how they have been rendered. Evidence is provided that none of the four translations entirely preserves the characterizing value of the verbs, which may affect the way readers form impressions of characters in their minds. The use of this corpus metholodogy is thus seen to contribute to the field of literary translation studies.
Genre and Register in Comparable Corpora: An English/Spanish Contrastive Analysis
Authors: López Arroyo Belén , Roberts Roda P.
Published: July 2017

A multilingual comparable corpus is a corpus containing texts that are collected using the same sampling frame and similar balance and representativeness. According to McEnery and Xiao (2007: 20), presenting proportion, genre, domain, and time constitutes the main criteria when compiling a comparable corpus and these criteria must match in the different languages for the corpus to be considered comparable. The problem is that these criteria do not always guarantee that the different language subcorpora in a comparable corpus match. This study, which analyzes two comparable corpora compiled by the authors, shows that, even when the text selection criteria are refined, genre theory cannot always guarantee enough linguistic similarities between language for specific purposes (LSP) texts in different languages. Genre seems to suffice to establish a good comparable corpus for scientific abstracts. However, the comparable corpus of wine tasting notes is not truly comparable, since the English and Spanish texts differ in register.
The Polymorphic Behaviour of Adjectives in Terminography
Authors: de Santiago González Paula , Grcic Simeunovic Larisa
Published: July 2017

Adjectives, while analyzed quite thoroughly in the works of terminologists, have not received enough attention in terminographic applications. Their inclusion, for instance in terminological databases, is low in comparison to that of nouns. However, the study of a specialized language such as karstology shows that adjectives have significant value due to their polymorphic behaviour. Our study shows that, depending on their semantic and syntactic relations with other lexical units, adjectives can provide us with essential information for terminology management and specialized knowledge organization. Semantically, adjectives highlight attributes of object concepts within a field allowing translators to discover more specific concepts, or different aspects of already known concepts. Syntactically, adjectives can present various syntagmatic relations with nouns. While some adjectives constrain the meaning of the noun, constructing other specific lexical units, others reveal the usage of terms (either complex or simple) in context. Our study, which is based on an analysis of a monolingual English corpus, has as its purpose to identify the most relevant attributive adjectives and explain their role in a specialized language such as karstology. We will also reflect on the presence of these adjectives in terminological dictionaries and on their contribution to the conceptual structure of a knowledge field.
A. Gérin-Lajoie. D’après ses mémoires de Henri-Raymond Casgrain

Published: July 2017

Révélant l’intimité de leurs auteurs, leurs rêves, leurs espoirs ou leurs désillusions, la littérature personnelle fascine de nombreux chercheurs. Mais, sous leur apparente sincérité, ces sources peuvent devenir de véritables pièges. À travers l’exemple d’un cas particulier, celui de la biographie d’Antoine Gérin-Lajoie par l’abbé Casgrain, cet article invite à réfléchir sur ce problème. Et pour cause, dans cette biographie, constituée pour l’essentiel des écrits intimes de Gérin-Lajoie, la mise en abîme de la littérature personnelle est profonde et chaotique. En dévoilant les diverses étapes de la création de cette oeuvre, de l’écriture de Gérin-Lajoie à celle de Casgrain, cet article présente une enquête critique de cette source. Il s’attarde également sur les liens qui unissent les différents acteurs de la création d’A. Gérin-Lajoie.

Through the study of some passages of Sidonius’ panegyrics we try to understand how many and what are the historiographic ideas and what is the deformation of the reality. With the method of Quellenforschung, some thoughts are given to problems inherent the Storie perdute. In particular, the analysis and the reflection start from Gregorio di Tour, II 9, p. 57.1-4, and from the studies on Renatus Profuturus Frigeridus
Gli Excerpta Planudea, Pietro Patrizio e la tradizione storiografica occidentale
Authors: Mecella Laura
Published: July 2017

The paper focuses on the so-called Excerpta Planudea, a collection of excerpts on Roman history (from the Republic to the reign of Gratianus), written in Constantinople by the monk Maximus Planudes (about 1265-1305). According to an old conjecture, its last excerpt derives from the historia of Peter the Patrician / Anonymus post Dionem, and it would be an evidence for the now lost Annales of Virius Nicomachus Flavianus senior. A thorough analysis of the fragment and of the tradition flowed into the Excerpta Planudea rules out this hypothesis and confirms that the most probable ending of Peter the Patrician’s historia were the years of Constantius II.
Die Ausführungen des Anonymus post Dionem und verwandter Quellen zum Triumph des Diokletian und Maximian im Jahre 303
Authors: Bleckmann Bruno
Published: July 2017

The triumph of Diocletian and Maximian prompted the source employed by the Anonymus post Dionem to develop an antiquarian excursus on the history of the triumph. For the reconstruction of this excursus, however, it is not admissible to make use of the remarks found in the middle Byzantine tradition (Chronicle of Symeon Logothetes and Salmasian John of Antioch) because they are late fabrications.
