Knjižni fond samostanske knjižnice sv. Ane je najbolj natančno popisan v inventarni knjigi Zbirnega centra knjižnic v Portorožu (1950–1953). Samostan, ki je pred 1. sv. vojno pripadal hrvaški ...provinci, je v svoji knjižnici hranil tudi slovenske tiske. Prispevek prinaša pregled in besedilnozvrstni opis slovenskih del v popisu, ki kažejo na to, da so koprski frančiškani liturgične in pastoralne dejavnosti opravljali tudi v slovenščini in tako gojili domačo besedo med slovenskimi verniki, obsežen nabor posvetnega strokovno-didaktičnega gradiva pa je bil namenjen jezikovni in splošni izobrazbi.
We present a series of computational simulations of the auditory lexical decision task using the jTRACE and TISK models of spoken word recognition. Simulation 1 replicates high accuracy in word ...recognition and similar performance of these models using the small, default dictionary. Simulation 2 expands the set of words and phonemes, leading to issues in representing certain phonemes in jTRACE. Simulation 3 expands the lexicon of competitors and we find that TISK struggles to select the target word as the winner. Finally, Simulation 4 shows that the decision criteria employed leads to many false positives when pseudowords are presented to the model. None of the model estimates of the time cycle when the winner should be selected predicted participant response latency in the auditory lexical decision task. We discuss these findings and offer suggestions as to what a contemporary model of spoken word recognition should be able to do.
From the visionary founder of the Self-Assembly Lab at MIT, a manifesto for the dawning age of active materials Things in life tend to fall apart. Cars break down. Buildings fall into disrepair. ...Personal items deteriorate. Yet today's researchers are exploiting newly understood properties of matter to program materials that physically sense, adapt, and fall together instead of apart. These materials open new directions for industrial innovation and challenge us to rethink the way we build and collaborate with our environment. Things Fall Together is a provocative guide to this emerging, often mind- bending reality, presenting a bold vision for harnessing the intelligence embedded in the material world.Drawing on his pioneering work on self-assembly and programmable material technologies, Skylar Tibbits lays out the core, frequently counterintuitive ideas and strategies that animate this new approach to design and innovation. From furniture that builds itself to shoes printed flat that jump into shape to islands that grow themselves, he describes how matter can compute and exhibit behaviors that we typically associate with biological organisms, and challenges our fundamental assumptions about what physical materials can do and how we can interact with them. Intelligent products today often rely on electronics, batteries, and complicated mechanisms. Tibbits offers a different approach, showing how we can design simple and elegant material intelligence that may one day animate and improve itself—and along the way help us build a more sustainable future.Compelling and beautifully designed, Things Fall Together provides an insider's perspective on the materials revolution that lies ahead, revealing the spectacular possibilities for designing active materials that can self- assemble, collaborate, and one day even evolve and design on their own.
Článek si klade některé teoretické otázky, které se vztahují k pojmům "nová náboženství" a "tradiční náboženství" a neschopnosti současné sociologie a religionistiky objasnit, co označení "nový" v ...souvislosti s náboženstvím znamená. Autor se snaží vyjasnit tento problém skrze kontextuální analýzu fenoménu akulturace hinduismu v českém okultismu na počátku 20. století. Dochází ke zjištění, že nejdůležitější podmínkou, která zmíněný jev umožnila, byl rozvoj tisku a trhu s tištěnými publikacemi. Masový přístup k tištěným materiálům vyústil v zásadní proměnu organizačních struktur stejně jako způsobů myšlení a víry. Tato transformace výrazně ovlivnila tzv. tradiční církve stejnou měrou jako "nová náboženství". Můžeme však přesto objevit určité sociologicky podstatné rozdíly u odlišných typů moderních náboženských projevů. Podobně je tomu i v případě tendence držet se vymezených kánonů a podřizování se příslušné náboženské autoritě v protikladu k důrazu na neomezenost individuální volby a výhradní autority vlastního já.
Risk-factors for bloodstream infections caused by extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli were investigated using an exploratory case-double control study in which 43 cases ...(70% producing CTX-M enzymes) were compared with: (i) 86 patients with bacteraemia caused by non-ESBL-producing E. coli; and (ii) 86 hospitalised patients. Previous follow-up as an outpatient, urinary catheterisation and use of oxyimino-β-lactams or fluoroquinolones were independent risk-factors for ESBL-producing E. coli among patients with E. coli bacteraemia, and previous use of oxyimino-β-lactams or fluoroquinolones were also independent risk-factors among hospitalised patients. These findings may help in identifying patients at greater risk for bloodstream infection caused by ESBL-producing E. coli in endemic areas.
The paper traces the influence of the Norwegian spelling reform launched in 1907 on the Norwegian written language in the US. The Norwegian immigrant community in America published a number of ...newspapers in their native language and the immigrant press became a significant part of the immigrants’ life in their new homeland. The changes and the development of their press reflect the gradual integration of Norwegians into American society in various areas. The research focuses on the linguistic level. For the purposes of the present paper, the newspaper Decorah-Posten (issues from the period 1935 — 1945) was chosen as the primary source material. Orthographic and grammatical usage in the Norwegian-American press is contrasted with the spelling codified in the 1907 spelling reform.
My previous research using NIRS clarified that there are individual differences in the ability to create ideated tactile sensation and some people do not naturally experience any tactile stimulation. ...In this research phase, some photo colorization practices which focused on tactile sensation were administered to the same participants as in the previous research, and the result clarified that now all participants could ideate tactile sensations during visual observation of photographs. This result suggests that art education is capable to develop long-term potentiation of synapses for visually triggered ideated tactile sensations. Also, related survey research found that 3 to 4 % of respondents had aphantasia, and 40% of university students surveyed had some difficulty recalling visual images. The results of this research suggest that we need support tools based on cognitive diversity inclusion for expression and appreciation processes.
El presente texto es un ensayo preparado por estudiantes de Medicina que tiene origen en su experiencia personal, ya que trata del padecimiento del acné en lo adolescencia, en él quieren concienciar ...a lo comunidad en general sobre las consecuencias psicológicas que genera el padecimiento del acné en el adolescente, y estimular a las personas a contribuir al desarrollo de estos jóvenes en la sociedad.
