Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-17T15:26:35Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 IsaacDBS.pdf: 539336 bytes, checksum: ac9f1f2543159f0c009f0242077b1d5c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-07-25 / In this work, we study and compare two percolation algorithms, one of then elaborated by Elias, and the other one by Newman and Ziff, using theorical tools of algorithms complexity and another algorithm that makes an experimental comparation. This work is divided in three chapters. The first one approaches some necessary definitions and theorems to a more formal mathematical study of percolation. The second presents technics that were used for the estimative calculation of the algorithms complexity, are they: worse case, better case e average case. We use the technique of the worse case to estimate the complexity of both algorithms and thus we can compare them. The last chapter shows several characteristics of each one of the algorithms and through the theoretical estimate of the complexity and the comparison between the execution time of the most important part of each one, we can compare these important algorithms that simulate the percolation. / Nesta disserta??o estudamos e comparamos dois algoritmos de percola??o, um elaborado por Elias e o outro por Newman e Ziff, utilizando ferramentas te?ricas da complexidade de algoritmos e um algoritmo que efetuou uma compara??o experimental.

Machine learning assisted decision support system for image analysis of OCT

Yacoub, Elias January 2022 (has links)
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has been around for more than 30 years and is still being continuously improved. The department of ophthalmology is a part of Sahlgrenska Hospital that heavily uses OCT for helping people with the treatment of eye diseases. They are currently facing a problem where the time to go from an OCT scan to treatment is being increased due to having an overload of patient visits every day. Since it requires a trained expert to analyze each OCT scan, the increase of patients is too overwhelming for the few experts that the department has. It is believed that the next phase of this medical field will be through the adoption of machine learning technology. This thesis has been issued by Sahlgrenska University Hospital (SUH), and they want to address the problem that ophthalmology has by introducing the use of machine learning into their workflow. This thesis aims to determine the best suited CNN through training and testing of pre-trained models and to build a tool that a model can be integrated into for use in ophthalmology. Transfer learning was used to compare three different types of pre-trained models offered by Keras, namely VGG16, InceptionResNet50V2 and ResNet50V2. They were all trained on an open dataset containing 84495 OCT images categorized into four different classes. These include the three diseases Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV), Diabetic Macular Edema (DME), drusen and normal eyes. To further improve the accuracy of the models, oversampling, undersampling, and data augmentation were applied to the training set and then tested in different variations. A web application was built using Tensorflow.js and Node.js that the best-performed model later was integrated into. The VGG16 model performed the best with only oversampling applied out of the three. It yielded an average of 95% precision, 95% recall and got a 95% F1-score. The second was the Inception model with only oversampling applied that got an average of 93% precision, 93% recall and a 93% F1-score. Last came the ResNet model with an average of 93% precision, 92% recall and a 92% F1-score. The results suggest that oversampling is the overall best technique for this given dataset. The chosen data augmentation techniques only lead to models performing marginally worse in all cases. It also suggests that pre-trained models with more parameters, such as the VGG16 model, have more feature mappings and, therefore, achieve higher accuracy. On this basis, parameters and better mappings of features should be taken into account when using pre-trained models.

Mediální obraz vybraných českých hokejistů od začátku do konce jejich kariéry v NHL v českých denících / The media image of chosen czech hockey players from the beginning to the end of their careers in NHL in czech daily newspapers

Rampa, Robert January 2019 (has links)
This thesis deals with analysis of the media image of five Czech hockey players Patrik Elias, Martin Havlat, Milan Hejduk, Jiri Hudler and Tomas Kaberle during their active career (1996 - 2017) in National Hockey League (NHL). The qualitative method analyzes texts from six Czech newspapers (Blesk, Hospodarske noviny, Lidove noviny, Mlada fronta DNES, Pravo and Sport). Thesis analyzes every twentieth article about Patrik Elias whose headline contained his surname. For the remaining hockey players the thesis analyzes every tenth article due to fewer texts. The thesis use for analysis the theory of news values, specifically the categorization of Alastair Hetherington and works with concepts of heroism, fallen heroes and celebritization. The results of the analysis describe the development of the media image of Czech hockey players, how the Czech dailies worked with events that contained given news values, how and what media image they formed. It also compares individual media images and the approach of the newspapers themselves. In conclusion, it also offers a new categorization of news values solely for the sport media area.

Archaism, or Textual Literalism in the Historical Novel

Wisner, Linell B 01 August 2010 (has links)
This dissertation examines the technique of archaism as it has been practiced in the historical novel since that genre’s origins. By “archaism,” I refer to a variation of the strategy that Jerome McGann calls textual “literalism,” whereby literary texts use “thickly materialized” language and bibliographic forms to foreground their own “textuality as such” (Black Riders 74). Archaism is distinguished from Blake’s, Pound’s, or Robert Carlton Brown’s literalism by its imitation of older literary idioms, yet the specifically historical quality of its intertextuality also seems different from primarily formal imitations such as pastiche and parody. Although archaism appears to have originated as part of the special language of romance, this study focuses on the technique as a representational strategy within historical fiction. Thus I begin by interpreting Thomas Chatterton’s faux-medieval forgeries (ca. 1770) as a kind of poetic antiquarianism, after which I trace the legacy of Chattertonian archaism in nineteenth-century historical novels including Scott’s Ivanhoe (1819) and Thackeray’s Henry Esmond (1852). The last two chapters address the twentieth-century return to archaism in John Barth’s The Sot-Weed Factor (1960), William Golding’s To the Ends of the Earth: A Sea Trilogy (1980-1989), and William T. Vollmann’s Argall (2001). Throughout, I rely extensively upon Georg Lukács’s The Historical Novel (1937), approaching the latter novels as historical fiction rather than as specimens of such post-1960s genres as Linda Hutcheon’s “historiographic metafiction” or Amy J. Elias’s “metahistorical romance.” Lukács is especially useful because of his sense that historical fictions are animated by the mimetic imperative to represent historical “reality.” Furthermore, the historical novel frame of these novels often serves to historicize literary form, disciplining both the simulation and the metafictionality that exemplify postmodern cultural praxis. Ultimately, I argue that archaism within the historical novel models a historical “real” that is always constructed in a manner analogous to the construction of literary texts, positing a historicity in which imaginative literature offers a key figuration of social experience. Unlike Hutcheon, who advances similar claims for historiographic metafiction, I contend that these novels often use archaism to represent their historical referents as reality—a practice that recalls the “classical” historical fiction of the nineteenth century. By drawing equally on historical novel theory and on Hutcheon, Elias, and Fredric Jameson’s analyses of post-1960s historical fiction as a representative form of aesthetic postmodernism, I synthesize two theoretical discussions which have typically been seen as incompatible. Similarly, this study emphasizes the continuity between old and new forms of historical fiction, expanding on Elias’s salient observation that “postmodern historical fiction stands in the refracted light of nineteenth-century historical novels” (Sublime Desire 6). Concepts of theoretical and aesthetic continuity, therefore, shape both the argument and the organization of this dissertation.

Georgia Newspaper Coverage Discovering Conventional Practices of the 'Cherokee Question': Prelude to the Removal, 1828-1832

Hobgood, Jr., James Hollister 21 November 2008 (has links)
This thesis analyzes the specific journalistic conventional practices of newspapers in Georgia as they focused on the “Cherokee Question” in 1828-1832, the critical period during which the state considered the removal of the Cherokees from Georgia. The research compares news and opinion texts in five Georgia newspapers with news and opinion texts in the newspaper launched by the Cherokee nation in 1828,the Cherokee Phoenix. While the conventional practices in the white-owned press tended to legitimize removal, the Phoenix adopted some of the same conventions in order to defend and negotiate Cherokee culture and issues.

La construction de l'identité dans l'Amélanchier et le Saint-Élias de Jacques Ferron

Bonin, Pierre-Alexandre January 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Depuis quelque temps, le Québec subit une crise identitaire d'une certaine importance, en grande partie à cause du débat entourant les « accommodements raisonnables », une série de mesures visant à faciliter l'intégration de certaines minorités religieuses. Pourtant, ce genre de questionnement n'est pas nouveau, bien qu'il soit « original » dans sa justification. Au cours des années 1960-1970, période de la « Révolution tranquille », la société québécoise a vécu de nombreux et importants changements, tant au niveau social que politique. L'un de ces bouleversements concernait l'identité québécoise. L'un des écrivains à avoir le mieux cerné cette remise en question est sans aucun doute Jacques Ferron. À travers deux de ses romans, soit L'Amélanchier et Le Saint-Élias, nous avons voulu comprendre qu'elle était la perception de Ferron par rapport à l'identité. Cette approche du texte ferronnien se distingue tant par le corpus, puisqu'il s'agit de la première analyse conjointe de ces deux oeuvres, que par la problématique abordée. Nous postulions l'existence d'une double conception de l'identité « ferronnienne ». On retrouve d'abord une identité individuelle, qui se construit dès le plus jeune âge et qui continue à se modifier et à évoluer avec le vieillissement de l'individu. C'est elle qu'on retrouve dans L 'Amélanchier, un roman sur la quête identitaire de Tinamer, la narratrice. Ensuite, il existe une dimension collective de l'identité, où c'est le groupe lui-même qui tente, à travers une histoire, des références et un imaginaire communs, de constituer un sentiment d'appartenance commun à tous ses membres. Cette fois-ci, Le Saint-Élias est l'oeuvre qui nous propose l'histoire de la collectivité de Batiscan, de même que son accession à une identité commune. Au fil de notre analyse, nous en sommes venus à une surprenante conclusion. Plutôt que de représenter deux « entités » distinctes, les sentiments d'identité individuelle et collective sont plutôt les deux faces d'une même médaille. On peut même pousser la réflexion plus loin en affirmant que, pour Ferron, l'identité collective et l'identité individuelle sont interdépendantes et ne sauraient être mises en opposition. À travers des thèmes comme l'enfance, la filiation et la mémoire, nous avons été en mesure de mieux comprendre le processus de construction identitaire tel que perçu par Ferron. En guise de conclusion à ce mémoire, nous avons voulu insister sur la question de l'écriture, omniprésente chez Ferron, et grâce à laquelle les narrateurs de L 'Amélanchier et du Saint-Élias, ont été en mesure de sauvegarder leur identité, ou celle de leur collectivité. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Identité, Jacques Ferron, Enfance, Mémoire, Écriture.

Entre as leis e portarias interministeriais, destaca-se o Programa Benefício de Prestação Continuada na Escola, que atende pessoas com deficiência de zero a dezoito anos de idade. Nesta pesquisa, questionam-se as interfaces entre as políticas públicas da educação especial e da seguridade social. São objetivos da pesquisa: analisar as interfaces das políticas públicas sociais – educação especial e seguridade social – no que se refere à garantia de direitos à educação de crianças com deficiência ou Transtornos Globais do Desenvolvimento, entre zero e cinco anos, no município de Vitória, Estado do Espírito Santo; identificar como se configuram as interdependências entre profissionais da educação especial e da seguridade social e os familiares (pais ou responsáveis) dessas crianças perante seus processos educacionais; compreender os diferentes movimentos entre as instituições de educação e da seguridade social e suas implicações para a inclusão escolar das crianças com deficiência ou Transtorno Global do Desenvolvimento; analisar como os profissionais da educação e da seguridade social lançam perspectivas para os processos de inclusão escolar e estabelecem diálogo com a família acerca da educação dessas crianças. Esta é uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, estudo de caso com coleta de dados empíricos e bibliográficos, na qual foram sujeitos: mães de três crianças de três Centros Municipais de Educação Infantil de Vitória; professoras da sala de atividades e de educação especial, pedagogas e diretoras; técnicos das Secretarias Municipais de Vitória: Educação, Saúde e Assistência Social e do Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social. As técnicas empregadas para coleta de dados foram a entrevista o grupo focal e o diário de itinerância. Foram procedimentos adotados para o registro dos dados a audiogravação de entrevistas e de grupos focais e anotações em diário de itinerância. Os dados foram organizados em cinco categorias de análise, produzidas por meio das narrativas dos familiares e dos profissionais participantes da pesquisa. Os conceitos de Norbert Elias, interdependência e configuração, relação de poder – estabelecidos e outsiders –, processos sociais e relação entre sociedade e Estado (balança do poder) contribuíram para compreender os dados, por serem observados nas categorias produzidas. Os resultados apontam para a fragilidade de Global do Desenvolvimento, no município de Vitória. Revelam, ainda, uma inconsistência de fluxos de referência e contrarreferência e lacunas na dimensão técnica e operativa para as interfaces das políticas públicas intersetoriais com práticas profissionais que cumpram o papel político conforme outorga a legislação federal e municipal. As considerações se ampliam para discussões entre o instituído e o instituinte – políticas públicas e práticas profissionais – que priorizem a efetivação da intersetorialidade diante das demandas do público investigado com vista à garantia dos direitos de acesso a uma educação de qualidade. / With the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Brazil (1988), the intersectoral relationship between public education and social security policies has resulted in a more articulated and interdependent construction and operationality of these areas. Among the interministerial laws and decrees, a programme which stands out is the Benefit of Continuous Support Programme in the School, which serves people with disabilities aged zero to eighteen years old. This research will investigate the interfaces between the public policy of special education and social security. Its objectives were defined in the following ways: to analyze the interfaces of public social policies – particularly education and social security – with regard to ensuring rights to education for children with disabilities or Pervasive Developmental Disorders, aged zero to five years old, in the municipality of Vitória, state of Espírito Santo; to identify how the interdependencies are comprised between special education and social security professionals and family (parents or guardians) of children before their educational processes; to understand the different movements between educational and social security institutions and their implications for school inclusion of children with disabilities or Pervasive Developmental Disorders; to analyze how education and social security professionals release outlooks for the processes of school inclusion and establish dialogue with the family about the education of these children. This is a qualitative research with the collection of empirical and bibliographic data, in which the subjects were: the mothers of three children in three Municipal Child Education Centers in Vitória – ES, the activity and special education room teachers; pedagogues and directors, and technicians from the following Municipal Departments in Vitória: Education, Health and Social Assistance, and the National Social Security Institute. The following techniques used for data collection were: interviews (semi-structured interview script), focus groups (triggering questions) and notes in roaming journals. The procedures for analysis occurred through audio recording of interviews and focus groups and notes in roaming journals. The data was organized into five different analytical categories produced through narratives of family members and professionals participating in the research. Norbert Elias´ concepts of interdependence and configuration, interface and power – established and outsiders – of social processes and of the relationship between society and the State (balance of power) contributed to the understanding of the data and also to the order of the categories which have been produced. The results point out the weakness of coordination mechanisms between the various sectors involved in the educational process of children aged zero to five years old, with disabilities or Pervasive Developmental Disorders, in Vitória – ES. It unveils yet an inconsistency of reference flows and counter reference and gaps in the technical and operational dimension to the interfaces of intersectoral public policies, with professional practices that meet the political role, as granted by the federal and municipal legislation. The considerations extend to discussions between the instituted and instituting – public policies and professional practices – that prioritize the effectiveness of intersectoriality before the demands of the investigated public with a view to guaranteeing the rights to an educational processes of quality.

Para tanto, a presente pesquisa utiliza a teoria sociológica de processos em Norbert Elias como “ponte” entre a teoria social contemporânea e a área de pensamento social no Brasil. Assim, o personalismo, em vez de traço cultural singular, passa a ser repensado como um padrão de sentimento, pensamento e ação retirado de um fundo social e coletivo de conhecimento da realidade brasileira. Esta releitura eliasiana de Sérgio Buarque de Holanda oferece, às atuais abordagens sobre a democratização no Brasil, um modelo sociológico focado em investigar como alterações de longo prazo, tanto na estrutura social quanto na estrutura de personalidade, promovem processos específicos de democratização. / This is a critical reflection of the current models of reading about democracy in Brazil, from an articulation between Norbert Elias´s theory of social processes and Sérgio Buarque de Holanda´s concept of personalism. Therefore, this research uses the sociological theory of processes in Norbert Elias as a bridge between contemporary social theory and the area of social thought in Brazil. Thus, instead of personalism like singular cultural trait, becomes a concept rethought as a pattern of emotion, thought and action, that is taken from a social and collective fund of knowledge, and that belongs to Brazilian reality. This retelling of Sérgio Buarque de Holanda by Norbert Elias offers to the current approaches to democratization in Brazil a sociological model focused on investigating how long-term changes in both social and personality structure, promotes specific processes of democratization.

As barbaridades cometidas pelo regime, destacadamente contra o povo judeu, provocaram uma ruptura com os todos os padrões morais, pairam no ar questões fundamentais que nos atormentam a todos, velhas e novas gerações: como a nação alemã civilizada fora capaz de deixar-se seduzir por uma crença tão delirante e criminosa como a de Hitler? Como foi possível o Holocausto ser perpetrado em uma sociedade desenvolvida, entre pessoas civilizadas? Com o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial, em 1945, os alemães, derrotados, eram acusados de terem sido cúmplices dos representantes nazistas, responsáveis pelo extermínio de milhões de seres humanos indefesos. Diante da possibilidade de autoextermínio dos homens aberta pelo ideário nazista, a culpa alemã surge como uma marca aparentemente indelével de toda uma nação. Uma herança passada de geração para geração. Tão importante quanto entender como as pessoas mergulharam nos horrores do nazismo e da guerra é compreender como emergiram, como conseguiram superar o passado e lidar com a própria culpa. Para auxiliar-nos nesta investigação sobre a culpa alemã, convidamos dois grandes pensadores da existência humana do século XX que viveram aqueles tempos sombrios: Karl Jaspers e Norbert Elias. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The period of domination of the National Socialism introduced an unprecedented evil in History. The atrocities committed by the regime, notably against the Jewish people, caused a rupture with all the current moral standarts; promoted "the collapse of civilization". Even today, core issues that stun us all, old and new generations, still hang in the air: how could the civilized German nation be seduced by a belief as How could the Holocaust be perpetrated in a developed society, among civilized people? By the end of World War II, in 1945, the Germans, defeated, were accused of being accomplices of the Nazi leaders, who were responsible for the extermination of millions of helpless human beings. Faced with lf-extermination introduced by Nazi ideology, German guilt emerges as an apparently indelible mark of an entire nation. A legacy passed down from generation to generation. As important as understanding how people plunged into the horrors of Nazism and the war is understand how they emerged, how they managed to overcome the past and deal with their own guilt. To assist us in our research about German guilt, we invite two great twentieth century thinkers of the human existence who lived through those dark times: Karl Jaspers and Norbert Elias.
