This term project focuses on algorithms for pattern matching used in modern IDS. The main focus is on regular expression matching. It deals with methods based on deterministic and nondeterministic finite automata, hybrid methods and with method based on regular expressions as programing langue for specialised processors. Implementation of pattern matching units based on some of described methodologies is described in next part. Methodology for resource consumption estimation is also described. Developed software system for unit generation is described in the next part. In the final part results are presented and discused.

Jules Massenet's mélodies feature a distinct vocal treatment regarding musical prosody through his eight song cycles, including Poëme d'Avril, Poëme Pastoral, Poëme du Souvenir, Poëme d'Amour, Poëme d'Hiver, Poëme d'un Soir, and Quelques Chansons Mauves, and a collection, Expressions Lyriques. These mélodies show the influence of the trend of salon music and the high-level poetry from the poetic movements of romanticism, Parnassianism, and symbolism. This study deals with Massenet's mélodies relating to the prosody idea, which is conspicuous in his vocal treatment. His melodic styles feature four distinct aspects of vocal treatment including lyrical, recitative or parlando, melodramatic, and déclamation rhythmée, and represent the idea of musical prosody of phonetic, syntactic, and semantic aspects. Massenet's other musical idioms such as harmony, form, and piano treatment, are also closely related to the prosody matter as a semantic aspect, reinforcing the poetic mood and content. In this study, each melodic style related to French versification is examined in detail. The musical analysis regarding the other musical idioms on selected examples presents the semantic feature of prosody idea. The brief review of French versification and opinions regarding the performance are included. Massenet's contribution to the genre of mélodie, with the prose melody and treatment of piano as an equal partner of voice line, is clearly demonstrated. With this contribution, Massenet should be recognized as the most influential composer to the climatic time of French mélodie led by Fauré, and Debussy, and Duparc.

Inom matematikämnet har e-bedömningar, aktiviteter där digitala tekniker används för att bedöma studenters kunskaper, inte utvecklats i samma takt som e-bedömningar inom andra områden. Detta beror sannolikt på det stora inslag av symboler och icke-standardiserade tecken som karakteriserar matematiskt språk och särskiljer det från traditionellt skriftspråk. Ett problem som har noterats i samband med e-bedömningar inom matematik är att inmatningen av matematiska uttryck i ett digitalt system i många fall varit långsam och svår att begripa. Den här rapporten syftar till att undersöka tre kategorier av inmatningsmetoder utifrån aspekterna snabbhet, korrekthet och upplevd lätthet för att på så sätt skapa en bild av vilken av teknikerna som lämpar sig bäst att implementera i en e-bedömningsapplikation riktat mot den svenska gymnasieskolan. För att uppnå syftet har jag granskat tre familjer av tekniker genom att låta gymnasieelever genomföra inmatningar av matematiska uttryck och analysera dessa inmatningar baserat på inmatningstid, korrekthet och upplevd lätthet.Resultaten visar på att det finns tydliga skillnader mellan de undersökta teknikerna med avseende på samtliga undersökta aspekter. Noterbart är att medelvärdet för genomförandetiden sett över samtliga tekniker och uttryck är 1 minut och 32 sekunder vilket satt i relation till den verksamhet teknikerna är tänkta att konkurrera med, att skriva matematiska uttryck med papper och penna, är högt. Andra noterbara resultat är att av undersökningens totalt 127 inmatade uttryck så var 49,6 % av dessa inte korrekt inmatade med den här rapportens syn på korrekthet. Trots att ingen av dagens tekniker är perfekt finns det bra inslag att bygga vidare på. Bland dessa kan nämnas ASCIIMathML´s, av eleverna upplevda, naturliga inmatning och dess förmåga att avgöra om ett uttryck tolkas matematiskt eller ej samt Math Input Panels förslag på alternativa uttryck, goda korrektionsmöjligheter och dess likhet med traditionell inmatning. Det finns också frågor av mer praktisk karaktär som rör exempelvis licenser och exportering av data man behöver adressera innan man beslutar sig för en specifik inmatningsteknik för en applikation. / E-assessment, activities in which digital techniques are used to assess students’ knowledge, in mathematics is an area that has not developed as fast as e-assessments in other areas. This is likely caused by the large elements of symbols and non-standard characters, which is characteristic of mathematical language and distinguishes it from ordinary written language. One problem that has arisen is that the input of mathematical expressions in a digital system in many cases has been slow and difficult to comprehend. This report aims to investigate three categories of input methods from three different aspects: speed, correctness and perceived ease in order to get an idea of which of the technologies are best suited to implement in an e-assessment application directed against the Swedish upper secondary school. To meet this objective three interrelated techniques where investigated by allowing upper secondary school students to use these techniques to input mathematical expressions and analyze these entries based on time, correctness and perceived ease.The results show that there are clear differences between the studied techniques for all examined aspects. Notably, the average time viewed over all techniques and expressions is 1 minute and 32 seconds which in relation to the activity these techniques are meant to compete with, writing mathematical expressions with pen and paper, is high. An additional notable finding is that in this survey a total of 127 expressions were processed and of those 49.6 % were not properly entered with this report's view of correctness. Although none of today's technologies are perfect, there are good elements to build on. These include ASCIIMathML's perceived ease and its ability to determine whether an expression is mathematically or not and Math Input Panels suggested alternative expressions, good correction ability and its similarity to traditional input. There are also questions of a more practical nature relating to things such as licenses and export of data which need to be addressed before deciding on a specific input technology for an application.

When studying the novel Les Années by the novelist Annie Ernaux we have chosen to have acloser look upon the translation of the novel to Swedish following the strategies of translationelaborated by Brynja Svane. These strategies are based on the study of cultural expressions. Ascultural expressions we have chosen those expressions which are typical for the world situationand for the daily life during this period of time, that is 70 between 1940 and 2008. We want tofind out whether these strategies can help the translator to convey the message of the novel. Thethree most often used strategies are addition, transfer with explanation and semantic adaption.Sometimes the translation needs to add words to dramatize the text in a way that is easily donein a few words in the source language. Finally, we find that using a lot of words sometimesmake the translated text a bit heavy and clumsy, which might hide and weaken the message ofthe novel

This thesis is an explorative, design-based research study towards the expressive potential of using actuators as design materials. Over three distinct phases of experimentation –all with their own particular aim– various sketches are developed that showcase different expressive qualities. These sketches consist of a variety of kitchen devices that are expanded with actuators. These actuators do not necessarily add to the functionality of the device, but rather to its expressiveness. The development of and reasoning for the sketches is clarified in an extensive way to clearly present all the insights that are gained throughout the design process. In the end, the sketches are discussed and reflected upon on the basis of the process-insights and relevant design theories.

Las expresiones idiomáticas (EI) son frases establecidas con sentido figurativo que conllevan una alta carga cultural, y, su comprensión y conocimiento permiten alcanzar un dominio más profundo del idioma. En este sentido, se espera que un traductor - intérprete alcance dicho dominio para así, enfrentar un texto o situación comunicativa, sin incurrir en errores de sentido. Frente a esto, se tomó como caso de análisis el curso de inglés TI5 para el diseño de un proyecto de investigación-acción que buscó desarrollar el manejo de EI a través del uso de series televisivas americanas. Dicha investigación permitió estudiar la realidad educativa y caracterizar las incidencias que se daban en el aula durante el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de EI y, sobre todo, comprobar la efectividad de los recursos idiomáticos que sitúan al estudiante en un contexto real de la lengua. Este estudio busca tener un impacto positivo en el ámbito de enseñanza-aprendizaje dentro de la formación de traductores-intérpretes, de modo tal que, se considere el uso de material auténtico, como las series televisivas americanas, para lograr que el futuro profesional desarrolle el dominio de sus lenguas de trabajo a un nivel nativo, en la medida que comprenda los matices que suponen una lengua y su cultura. Sección obligatoria en la que el autor o los autores exponen en breves líneas lo esencial del trabajo. / Idiomatic expressions or idioms are fixed expressions with a figurative interpretation that carry a high cultural meaning; these phrases allow a deeper understanding of the language. In this light, a translator-interpreter is expected to reach that cultural level of understanding in order to face a text or interpretation, without making errors of meaning. To address this, the course of English TI5 was chosen for a case analysis, in order to apply an action research study whose purpose was to implement the use of idioms through American TV series. This research allowed to analyze the educational reality and characterize the occurrences that take place during the learning process of idioms in the classroom and, most of all, to verify the effectiveness of these cultural resources when placing a student in a real context of the language. This research seeks to have a positive impact in the teaching-learning process within the formation of translators-interpreters, so the use of authentic material, such as American TV series, will be considered for the mastery of their working languages, to reach a native level where not only the language is fully understood, but its culture as well. / Trabajo de suficiencia profesional

Facial and head movements have important linguistic roles in American Sign Language (ASL) and other sign languages and can often significantly alter the meaning or interpretation of what is being communicated. Technologies that enable accurate recognition of ASL linguistic markers could be a step toward greater independence and empowerment for the Deaf community. This study involved gathering over 2,000 photographs of five hearing subjects, five Deaf subjects, and five Child of Deaf Adults (CODA) subjects. Each subject produced the six universal emotional facial expressions: sad, happy, surprise, anger, fear, and disgust. In addition, each Deaf and CODA subject produced six different ASL linguistic facial expressions. A representative set of 750 photos was submitted to six different emotional facial expression recognition services, and the results were processed and compared across different facial expressions and subject groups (hearing, Deaf, CODA). Key observations from these results are presented. First, poor face detection rates are observed for Deaf subjects as compared to hearing and CODA subjects. Second, emotional facial expression recognition appears to be more accurate for Deaf and CODA subjects than for hearing subjects. Third, ASL linguistic markers, which are distinct from emotional expressions, are often misinterpreted as negative emotions by existing technologies. Possible implications of this misinterpretation are discussed, such as the problems that could arise for the Deaf community with increasing surveillance and use of automated facial analysis tools. Finally, an inclusive approach is suggested for incorporating ASL linguistic markers into existing facial expression recognition tools. Several considerations are given for constructing an unbiased database of the various ASL linguistic markers, including the types of subjects that should be photographed and the importance of including native ASL signers in the photo selection and classification process. / 2019-06-30T00:00:00Z

This study investigated the effect of children's prosocial behavior and gender on their abilities to decode and encode facial expressions. Four hypotheses were addressed in this study. The first hypothesis predicted a positive correlation between decoding abilities and pro social behavior of preschool-level children. The second hypothesis made a similar prediction, but between encoding abilities and prosocial behavior. Hypothesis three predicted that female preschoolers would be more accurate in decoding facial affect than would male preschoolers. Finally, hypothesis four predicted that females would have greater success with encoding emotions than would their male counterparts. A total of 132 children from a local private preschool participated in this study. Results showed a non-significant correlation between the decoding abilities of preschoolers and their prosocial behavior. Further analysis of the data revealed a significant negative correlation between the encoding abilities and pro social behavior of preschool children. Support was found for hypothesis three, revealing that females were better decoders of facial affect than were males. Finally, statistical tests indicated that there were no significant differences between females and males and the ability to successfully encode facial expressions. The implications and limitations of the study are discussed and suggestions for future research are offered.
