La traduccion audiovisual en ETB2: Estudio descriptivo del genero Western

Esta tesis doctoral se propone cartografiar el ambito de la traduccion audiovisual en el Pais Vasco. En este contexto ETB juega un papel fundamental, puesto que el sector surgio de la mano del ente publico y asimismo se desarrollo y pervive al abrigo del mismo. Adoptando el marco metodologico que proporcionan los Estudios Descriptivos de Traduccion comenzamos con la compilacion de catalogos para posteriormente proceder a seleccionar un corpus textual representativo. En este estudio catalogamos y analizamos productos audiovisuales traducidos emitidos por ETB2. Tras estudiar los generos programados por la cadena concluimos que el genero western tiene una especial relevancia entre la ficcion para adultos. A partir de la constatacion de este hecho damos un paso mas para estudiar los aspectos relativos al doblaje de estas peliculas. En esta parte del estudio analizamos las tecnicas empleadas por los traductores audiovisuales en el ejercicio de la practica profesional, que nos permitiran identificar las normas subyacentes al proceso de traduccion. Concluimos la tesis realizando una comparacion entre la incidencia de las tecnicas de traduccion entre el corpus ETB2 de nuestro trabajo y los datos relativos a ETB1 en el mismo sentido.
Relationship Between T1 Slope and Cervical Alignment Following Multilevel Posterior Cervical Fusion Surgery: Impact of T1 Slope Minus Cervical Lordosis
Venue: Spine

Retrospective study.  To assess the relationship between sagittal alignment of the cervical spine and patient reported health related quality of life scores following multilevel posterior cervical fusion, and to explore whether an analogous relationship exists in the cervical spine using T1 slope minus C2 C7 lordosis (T1S CL)  A recent study demonstrated that, similar to the thoracolumbar spine, the severity of disability increases with sagittal malalignment following cervical reconstruction surgery.  From 2007 to 2013, 38 consecutive patients underwent multilevel posterior cervical fusion for cervical stenosis, myelopathy, and deformities. Radiographic measurements included C0 C2 lordosis, C2 C7 lordosis, C2 C7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA) T1 slope, and T1S CL. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated between pairs of radiographic measures and health related quality of life.  C2 C7 SVA positively correlated with neck disability index (NDI) scores (r 0.495) C2 C7 lordosis (P 0.001) and T1S CL (P 0.002) changes correlated with NDI score changes after surgery. For significant correlations between C2 C7 SVA and NDI scores, regression models predicted a threshold C2 C7 SVA value of 50 mm, beyond which correlations were most significant. The T1S CL also correlated positively with C2 C7 SVA and NDI scores (r 0.871 and r 0.470, respectively) Results of the regression analysis indicated that a C2 C7 SVA value of 50 mm corresponded to a T1S CL value of 26.1deg.  This study showed that disability of the neck increased with cervical sagittal malalignment following surgical reconstruction and a greater T1S CL mismatch was associated with a greater degree of cervical malalignment. Specifically, a mismatch greater than 26.1deg corresponded to positive cervical sagittal malalignment, defined as C2 C7 SVA greater than 50 mm.
Preservation or Restoration of Segmental and Regional Spinal Lordosis Using Minimally Invasive Interbody Fusion Techniques in Degenerative Lumbar Conditions: A Literature Review
Venue: Spine

A literature review.  The purpose of this study was to review lumbar segmental and regional alignment changes following treatment with a variety of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) interbody fusion procedures for short segment, degenerative conditions.  An increasing number of lumbar fusions are being performed with minimally invasive exposures, despite a perception that minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion procedures are unable to affect segmental and regional lordosis.  Through a MEDLINE and Google Scholar search, a total of 23 articles were identified that reported alignment following minimally invasive lumbar fusion for degenerative (nondeformity) lumbar spinal conditions to examine aggregate changes in postoperative alignment.  Of the 23 studies identified, 28 study cohorts were included in the analysis. Procedural cohorts included MIS ALIF (two) extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) (16) and MIS posterior/transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (P/TLIF) (11) Across 19 study cohorts and 720 patients, weighted average of lumbar lordosis preoperatively for all procedures was 43.5deg (range 28.4deg 52.5deg) and increased 3.4deg (9% (range 2deg to 7.4deg) postoperatively (P 0.001) Segmental lordosis increased, on average, by 4deg from a weighted average of 8.3deg preoperatively (range 0.8deg to 15.8deg) to 11.2deg at postoperative time points (range 0.2deg to 22.8deg) (P 0.001) in 1182 patient from 24 study cohorts. Simple linear regression revealed a significant relationship between preoperative lumbar lordosis and change in lumbar lordosis (r2 0.413; P 0.003) wherein lower preoperative lumbar lordosis predicted a greater increase in postoperative lumbar lordosis.  Significant gains in both weighted average lumbar lordosis and segmental lordosis were seen following MIS interbody fusion. None of the segmental lordosis cohorts and only two of the 19 lumbar lordosis cohorts showed decreases in lordosis postoperatively. These results suggest that MIS approaches are able to impact regional and local segmental alignment and that preoperative patient factors can impact the extent of correction gained (preserving vs. restoring alignment)
Electrical resistivity and induced polarization imaging for groundwater exploration

Electrical methods of geophysics are widely used in addressing a variety of hydrologic problems including groundwater exploration, groundwater quality and contamination studies. This study presents the integration of electrical resistivity techniques with time domain induced polarization (IP) imaging for groundwater exploration in a sedimentary terrain, southwestern Nigeria. The subsurface was characterized to identify the lithologic units and delineate the underlying aquifer.
Studying the Impact of Internet Advertising On Consumer Buying Behavior

The present research report is focusing on quantifying the impact of internet advertising on consumer buying behavior, which raises the consumers' intentions towards the product and buying behaviors. The purchasing behavior is strongly influenced by the icon of the product which is built by the advertisers. The primary data on the field are collected through questionnaires and secondary data were collected through internet, journals and business magazines. This survey study was conducted in November, 2015. A sample of 100 respondents was taken, out of which 30 were in government or semi government services, while 20 were taken from business class and the rest 50 were private sector employees. The written report reports that creative online advertisement has always a great impact on the buying trends or purchasing behaviors of the consumers. At the same time ROI of the merchandise and premium are also admitted with their substantial impact on buying behavior of consumers. Likewise to some extent the online celebrity endorsement also matters in the buying behavior. Thus the study concludes that the positive shock of all these factors, on the buying behavior of the consumer improves the loyalty of consumers towards brand which helps in forwarding of the advertised merchandise.
Associations of specific types of sports and exercise with all cause and cardiovascular disease mortality: a cohort study of 80 306 British adults
Venue: British Journal of Sports Medicine

Evidence for the long term health effects of specific sport disciplines is scarce. Therefore, we examined the associations of six different types of sport/exercise with all cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality risk in a large pooled Scottish and English population based cohort.  Cox proportional hazards regression was used to investigate the associations between each exposure and all cause and CVD mortality with adjustment for potential confounders in 80 306 individuals (54% women; mean+ SD age: 52+ 14 years)  Significant reductions in all cause mortality were observed for participation in cycling (HR=0.85, 95% CI 0.76 to 0.95) swimming (HR=0.72, 95% CI 0.65 to 0.80) racquet sports (HR=0.53, 95% CI 0.40 to 0.69) and aerobics (HR=0.73, 95% CI 0.63 to 0.85) No significant associations were found for participation in football and running. A significant reduction in CVD mortality was observed for participation in swimming (HR=0.59, 95% CI 0.46 to 0.75) racquet sports (HR=0.44, 95% CI 0.24 to 0.83) and aerobics (HR=0.64, 95% CI 0.45 to 0.92) but there were no significant associations for cycling, running and football. Variable dose response patterns between the exposure and the outcomes were found across the sport disciplines.  These findings demonstrate that participation in specific sports may have significant benefits for public health. Future research should aim to further strengthen the sport specific epidemiological evidence base and understanding of how to promote greater sports participation.
High training workloads alone do not cause sports injuries: how you get there is the real issue
Venue: British Journal of Sports Medicine

Clinicians or strength and conditioning professionals who prescribe training workloads aim for workloads that are high enough to improve fitness (ie, performance) but not so high as to risk injury. At the extremes, no training results in an unprepared athlete, whereas an overuse injury is, by definition, an error in training prescription.1 Banister et al 2 first described an athlete's training state as the difference between positive (ie, 'fitness' and negative (ie, 'fatigue' influences. To quantify this concept, 'fitness' was represented as the workload (an arbitrary 'training impulse' of the athlete over a 3 6 weeks period and 'fatigue' was represented by the workload performed over a shorter time frame of 1 week. We recommend the terms 'chronic workload' for the longer window of training (ie, Banister's 'fitness' and 'acute workload' for the immediate window of training (ie, Banister's 'fatigue' (figure 1) High chronic workloads (ie, intense training) combined with reductions in acute workloads before important competition (ie, taper) would be expected to improve sporting  Figure 1 Acute and chronic workloads and the calculation of the acute:chronic workload ratio as a
Distributed Communication Architecture for Smart Grid Applications
Venue: IEEE Communications Magazine

One big challenge in building a smart grid arises from the fast growing amount of data and limited communication resources. The traditional centralized communication architecture does not scale well with the explosive increase of data and has a high probability of encountering communication bottlenecks due to long communication paths. To address this challenging issue, this article presents a distributed communication architecture that implements smart grid communications in an efficient and cost effective way. This distributed architecture consists of multiple distributed operation centers, each of which is connected to several data concentrators serving one local area and only sends summary or required integrated information to a central operation center. Using this distributed architecture, communication distance is much shortened, and thus data will be delivered more efficiently and reliably. In addition, such a distributed architecture can manage and analyze data locally, rather than backhauling all raw data to the central operation center, leading to reduced cost and burden on communication resources. Advanced metering infrastructure is chosen as an example to demonstrate benefits of this architecture on improving communication performance. The distributed communication architecture is also readily applicable to other smart grid applications, for example, demand response management systems.
The Role of MAPK Modules and ABA during Abiotic Stress Signaling.
Venue: Trends in plant science

To respond to abiotic stresses, plants have developed specific mechanisms that allow them to rapidly perceive and respond to environmental changes. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) was shown to be a pivotal regulator of abiotic stress responses in plants, triggering major changes in plant physiology. The ABA core signaling pathway largely relies on the activation of SnRK2 kinases to mediate several rapid responses, including gene regulation, stomatal closure, and plant growth modulation. Mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) have also been implicated in ABA signaling, but an entire ABA activated MAPK module was uncovered only recently. In this review, we discuss the evidence for a role of MAPK modules in the context of different plant ABA signaling pathways.
Angelix: Scalable Multiline Program Patch Synthesis via Symbolic Analysis
Venue: 2016 IEEE/ACM 38th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE)

Since debugging is a time consuming activity, automated program repair tools such as GenProg have garnered interest. A recent study revealed that the majority of GenProg repairs avoid bugs simply by deleting functionality. We found that SPR, a state of the art repair tool proposed in 2015, still deletes functionality in their many "plausible" repairs. Unlike generate and validate systems such as GenProg and SPR, semantic analysis based repair techniques synthesize a repair based on semantic information of the program. While such semantics based repair methods show promise in terms of quality of generated repairs, their scalability has been a concern so far. In this paper, we present Angelix, a novel semantics based repair method that scales up to programs of similar size as are handled by search based repair tools such as GenProg and SPR. This shows that Angelix is more scalable than previously proposed semantics based repair methods such as SemFix and DirectFix. Furthermore, our repair method can repair multiple buggy locations that are dependent on each other. Such repairs are hard to achieve using SPR and GenProg. In our experiments, Angelix generated repairs from large scale real world software such as wireshark and php, and these generated repairs include multi location repairs. We also report our experience in automatically repairing the well known Heartbleed vulnerability.
Empirical Study on Synthesis Engines for Semantics Based Program Repair
Venue: 2016 IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME)

Automatic Program Repair (APR) is an emerging and rapidly growing research area, with many techniques proposed to repair defective software. One notable state of the art line of APR approaches is known as semantics based techniques, e.g. Angelix, which extract semantics constraints, i.e. specifications, via symbolic execution and test suites, and then generate repairs conforming to these constraints using program synthesis. The repair capability of such approaches expressive power, output quality, and scalability naturally depends on the underlying synthesis technique. However, despite recent advances in program synthesis, not much attention has been paid to assess, compare, or leverage the variety of available synthesis engine capabilities in an APR context. In this paper, we empirically compare the effectiveness of different synthesis engines for program repair. We do this by implementing a framework on top of the latest semantics based APR technique, Angelix, that allows us to use different such engines. For this preliminary study, we use a subset of bugs in the IntroClass benchmark, a dataset of many small programs recently proposed for use in evaluating APR techniques, with a focus on assessing output quality. Our initial findings suggest that different synthesis engines have their own strengths and weaknesses, and future work on semantics based APR should explore innovative ways to exploit and combine multiple synthesis engines.
New BBVA digital bank headquarters in Madrid saves energy using composite sun panels fabricated from Crestapol(r) infusion resin and Crystic(r) FIREGUARD intumescent in mold gelcoat

The new digital banking group BBVA headquarters building in Madrid, designed by architecture firm Herzog de Meuron, is kept cooler using sandwich laminate design composite sun panels which form an integral part of the contemporary new building facade. Summer temperatures in Madrid can reach over 30degC by midday, so having environmentally friendly ways to minimize air conditioning energy usage inside its new head office was high on the agenda for BBVA, given its strong commitment to using renewable energy and buildings with the highest environmental certification. The use of innovative composite sun panels in front of the glass windows around the new BBVA building achieved this energy saving corporate objective in grand style.
Flipping the Classroom and the Pedagogy: Using Active Learning Principles to Bring Leadership Training in Affirmative Sexuality to Public Health Education
Venue: Public health reports

With increasing frequency, public health and healthcare services scholars are putting forward proposals and strategic plans of action to improve the nation's ability to promote sexual health,1 3 including reports from the U.S. Surgeon General4 and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.5 What these proposals and plans have in common is not just their call for improved leadership and training on sexual health in general, but also the positive and affirming aspects of sexuality and sexual relationships, often referred to as an "affirmative sexuality approach."6 8 Despite the increasing interest in developing national leadership in sexual health, focused training in schools of public health that would support these goals is absent. In a simple comparison, an informal review of inclusion of nutrition and sexual health in the curricula at 51 accredited schools of public health in the United States was conducted in 2014. Not surprisingly, courses in nutrition were standard fare in the curricula, with 20% of the schools housing an academic department of nutrition. By contrast, courses covering sexual health from an affirmative sexuality perspective were rare, and none of the schools had departments of sexual health (Unpublished data. S. Bryn Austin, 2014) In another comparison, an informal PubMed search for literature on sexual health in the curricula of medical schools identified dozens of articles on the topic, including several review articles. By contrast, a similar search of the literature focused on sexual health in the curricula of schools of public health turned up no articles (Unpublished data. S. Bryn Austin, 2015) The purpose of this article is to describe a course, Women, Gender and Health (WGH) 220: Sexuality and Public Health, offered as part of the WGH Interdepartmental Concentration at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (hereinafter, Harvard Chan School) in Boston, Massachusetts, which was developed in 2007 to address the gap in affirmative sexuality curricula in schools of public health. What follows is an explanation of the pedagogical rationale and design of the course. It is hoped that this course may serve as a way for faculty and curricular planners at other institutions to introduce affirmative sexuality into their curricula while emphasizing professional competencies necessary for public health leadership in sexual health.
A Secure Image Encryption Algorithm Using LFSR and RC4 Key Stream Generator

The increasing importance of security of multimedia data has prompted greater attention towards secure image encryption algorithms. In this paper, the authors propose a highly secure encryption algorithm with permutation substitution architecture. In the permutation step, image pixels of the plain image are shuffled using Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) The output of this step is an intermediary cipher image which is of the same size as that of the plain image. In the substitution step, sequence of random numbers is generated using the RC4 key stream generator which is XORed with the pixel value of the intermediary cipher image to produce the final cipher image. Experimental results and security analysis of the proposed scheme show that the proposed scheme is efficient and secure.
Combination Effect of Probiotic and Organic Acids on Blood Biochemistry and Immunity Parameters of

A total of 180 day old unsexed Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly distributed in a completely randomized experimental design with three treatments and four replications of fifteen chicks each. Diets prepared without additive as Control; Probiotic(containing live yeast from mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) for 8x10 of product, vitamins and antioxidants) 0.1% and Acid (containing citric acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid)@0.1%.The results of cholesterol, ide, AST, total protein, globulin, Alkaline phosphatase (Alk. Phos.)and glucose showed improvement by addition of probiotic and acidifier in to the basal diet, whereas the findings in albumin and ALT levels were remained non significant. Also significant improvement for antibody titers again Newcastle Disease (ND) and Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) were noticed in acidifier feed add in Avian Influenza (AI) titer values, were significantly altered by addition of both probiotic and acidifier. It can be concluded that dietary probiotic and acidifier could have a clear positive effect on immune response and could par improve the biochemical parameters studied in current
Evaluation des pratiques professionnelles de la prescription des antibiotiques aux urgences pediatriques

La rationalisation de la prescription des antibiotiques pour maitriser l'impact sur l'ecologie bacterienne, les couts et la duree d'hospitalisation est un enjeu de sante publique. Aux urgences pediatriques, les prescriptions sont empiriques et doivent etre mises en route sans delai. L'objectif de cette etude etait d'evaluer les pratiques professionnelles au sein des urgences pediatriques du CHU de Toulouse afin d'evaluer la conformite des prescriptions aux referentiels locaux et/ou nationaux de bonnes pratiques et les facteurs susceptibles de l'influencer. Methode Nous avons realise une etude prospective, analytique incluant des enfants pour lesquels une antibiotherapie a ete instauree aux urgences pediatriques dans le cadre d'une hospitalisation. Resultats Sur les 114 patients, l'age median etait de 1 an et 5 mois, et 44% des enfants admis presentaient une infection urinaire. Les autres pathologies infectieuses etaient d'origine ORL (18% et abdominale (18% pulmonaire (9% et plus rarement des infections neurologiques, osteoarticulaires. Dans notre etude, 66% des prescriptions etaient conformes et 34% non conformes dont 26% non conformes aux protocoles du service. La non conformite etait essentiellement une posologie inadaptee (38% et un choix de molecule non conforme (27% Elle etait significativement associee a l'appartenance du pool des urgences et au statut du prescripteur mais non influencee selon l'horaire de prescription, l'age des patients, le site d'infection ou les donnees biologiques.  Les resultats ont revele un taux de conformite satisfaisant au CHU de Toulouse comparativement aux donnees de la litterature dont une bonne adhesion des prescripteurs aux referentiels du service. Les deux facteurs explicatifs de non conformite des prescriptions mis en evidence accentuent l'idee de realiser des evaluations repetees, un renforcement de la formation en antibiotherapie et l'elaboration de protocoles inexistants pour certaines pathologies doivent permettre d'ameliorer les pratiques de prescription.
