O citar no Twitter: o caso de Clarice Lispector

The phenomenon of the World Wide Web, the Internet, has revolutionized the way we live in a contemporary relevance. The relationships among people have changed since the media also changed: the cyberspace has been established as an important vehicle of communication in which different languages, cultures and peoples coexist. Within the virtual space there are several fica possibilities for communication, interaction, fun, knowledge etc. Everything happens extremely quickly. An interesting example of that are blogs that, to survive virtuality, require constant updating. It has become interesting to notice the factor of personal expressiveness taking a new shape in the context of network, before being seen in elements such as diaries, poetry, artistic production or debate. The chances and, thus, the need to find people to interact and to share interests has taken a gigantic proportion, and, in this way, sources of audiovisual and reading activities are always in vogue, being shared every second. Blogging can be about different subjects, but what is perceived on all blogs is the strong trace of written text is always presented. Twitter has established itself as a microblogging network for the expression of dynamism, information sharing and interaction. Thus, it was interesting to approach the manner language is expressed in these microblogs thinking about the way that literary discourse is constructed when is seen, on quotations, in the context of this social network: Twitter. Being able to attest the great increase on the occurrences of quotes from different literary genres, it was useful to pay attention to this fact. In Brazil, Twitter has thousands of users, fans and readers, that rewrite and quote authors. The number of quotations is so abundant that it has popularized several Brazilian writers, such as: Clarice Lispector and Caio Fernando Abreu; authors that are frequetenly quoted. So, we made usage of semiotic studies of the French line. In...

Scalable Web Server Clustering Technologies

The exponential growth of the Internet, coupled with the increasing popularity of dynamically generated content on the World Wide Web, has created the need for more and faster Web servers capable of serving the over 100 million Internet users. Server clustering has emerged as a promising technique to build scalable Web servers. In this article we examine the seminal work, early products, and a sample of contemporary commercial offerings in the field of transparent Web server clustering. We broadly classify transparent server clustering into three categories.

Meccanismi per lo sviluppo di Web App distribuite: WebSocket come caso di studio

Al giorno d’oggi il World Wide Web non è più un semplice strumento per la condivisione di informazioni. Le tecnologie nate nel corso dell’ultimo decennio hanno permesso lo sviluppo di vere e proprie applicazioni Web (Web App) complesse, indipendenti e multi-utente in grado di fornire le stesse funzionalità delle normali applicazioni desktop. In questa tesi verranno trattate le caratteristiche di una Web App moderna, analizzandone l’evoluzione e il processo produttivo. Particolare attenzione sarà posta alle Web App distribuite e ai meccanismi di comunicazione client-server che queste nuove tecnologie hanno reso disponibili. I WebSocket, la tecnologia di riferimento di HTML5, saranno riportati come caso di studio e relazionati allo standard precedente ad HTML5, cioè Ajax e Long Polling.

Proposta di traduzione in francese di parte del sito web "www.Turismo.Ra.It"

Questo elaborato finale analizza la mia proposta di traduzione di parte del sito internet www.turismo.ra.it. Ho intrapreso la traduzione delle pagine di questo sito nel quadro di una collaborazione volontaria con il Comune di Ravenna; anche il mio tirocinio curricolare si è concentrato sulla traduzione del sito. Ho deciso dunque di articolare la tesi come segue: il primo capitolo, si concentra sulla teoria dei siti internet e sulla loro organizzazione, focalizzando l’interesse sulle modalità di scrittura sul web, mentre il secondo capitolo tratta l’analisi del sito, ponendo particolare attenzione alla sua struttura. La mia proposta di traduzione segue poi nel terzo capitolo, mentre nel quarto offro una possibile analisi dei testi tradotti, con commenti relativi agli aspetti linguistici e alle difficoltà riscontrate, e analizzando la memoria di traduzione da me creata nel corso della mia attività. L’elaborato si conclude con alcune mie considerazioni finali circa l’attività svolta, e la bibliografia, con annessa sitografia, da me consultate per lo svolgimento del mio lavoro di ricerca.

Can a novel web-based computer test predict poor simulated driving performance? A pilot study with healthy and cognitive-impaired participants

BACKGROUND Driving a car is a complex instrumental activity of daily living and driving performance is very sensitive to cognitive impairment. The assessment of driving-relevant cognition in older drivers is challenging and requires reliable and valid tests with good sensitivity and specificity to predict safe driving. Driving simulators can be used to test fitness to drive. Several studies have found strong correlation between driving simulator performance and on-the-road driving. However, access to driving simulators is restricted to specialists and simulators are too expensive, large, and complex to allow easy access to older drivers or physicians advising them. An easily accessible, Web-based, cognitive screening test could offer a solution to this problem. The World Wide Web allows easy dissemination of the test software and implementation of the scoring algorithm on a central server, allowing generation of a dynamically growing database with normative values and ensures that all users have access to the same up-to-date normative values. OBJECTIVE In this pilot study, we present the novel Web-based Bern Cognitive Screening Test (wBCST) and investigate whether it can predict poor simulated driving performance in healthy and cognitive-impaired participants. METHODS The wBCST performance and simulated driving performance have been analyzed in 26 healthy younger and 44 healthy older participants as well as in 10 older participants with cognitive impairment. Correlations between the two tests were calculated. Also, simulated driving performance was used to group the participants into good performers (n=70) and poor performers (n=10). A receiver-operating characteristic analysis was calculated to determine sensitivity and specificity of the wBCST in predicting simulated driving performance. RESULTS The mean wBCST score of the participants with poor simulated driving performance was reduced by 52%, compared to participants with good simulated driving performance (P<.001). The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve was 0.80 with a 95% confidence interval 0.68-0.92. CONCLUSIONS When selecting a 75% test score as the cutoff, the novel test has 83% sensitivity, 70% specificity, and 81% efficiency, which are good values for a screening test. Overall, in this pilot study, the novel Web-based computer test appears to be a promising tool for supporting clinicians in fitness-to-drive assessments of older drivers. The Web-based distribution and scoring on a central computer will facilitate further evaluation of the novel test setup. We expect that in the near future, Web-based computer tests will become a valid and reliable tool for clinicians, for example, when assessing fitness to drive in older drivers.

Using citation data to improve retrieval from MEDLINE.

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether algorithms developed for the World Wide Web can be applied to the biomedical literature in order to identify articles that are important as well as relevant. DESIGN AND MEASUREMENTS A direct comparison of eight algorithms: simple PubMed queries, clinical queries (sensitive and specific versions), vector cosine comparison, citation count, journal impact factor, PageRank, and machine learning based on polynomial support vector machines. The objective was to prioritize important articles, defined as being included in a pre-existing bibliography of important literature in surgical oncology. RESULTS Citation-based algorithms were more effective than noncitation-based algorithms at identifying important articles. The most effective strategies were simple citation count and PageRank, which on average identified over six important articles in the first 100 results compared to 0.85 for the best noncitation-based algorithm (p < 0.001). The authors saw similar differences between citation-based and noncitation-based algorithms at 10, 20, 50, 200, 500, and 1,000 results (p < 0.001). Citation lag affects performance of PageRank more than simple citation count. However, in spite of citation lag, citation-based algorithms remain more effective than noncitation-based algorithms. CONCLUSION Algorithms that have proved successful on the World Wide Web can be applied to biomedical information retrieval. Citation-based algorithms can help identify important articles within large sets of relevant results. Further studies are needed to determine whether citation-based algorithms can effectively meet actual user information needs.

Applying Fuzzy Ontologies to Implement the Social Semantic Web

Because the knowledge in the World Wide Web is continuously expanding, Web Knowledge Aggregation, Representation and Reasoning (abbreviated as KR) is becoming increasingly important. This article demonstrates how fuzzy ontologies can be used in KR to improve the interactions between humans and computers. The gap between the Social and Semantic Web can be reduced, and a Social Semantic Web may become possible. As an illustrative example, we demonstrate how fuzzy logic and KR can enhance technologies for cognitive cities. The underlying notion of these technologies is based on connectivism, which can be improved by incorporating the results of digital humanities research.

El catálogo de próxima generación o NextGen : una herramienta de descubrimiento para el catálogo en línea

La herramienta de descubrimiento que ha dado lugar al llamado catálogo de próxima generación o NextGen es una interfaz ensamblada a la base de datos del catálogo en línea, que proporciona opciones similares a las de los motores de búsqueda de la World Wide Web. Entre las características más importantes se pueden mencionar: búsqueda por palabras claves del usuario, corrección de ortografía, asociación de palabras por prefijos y sufijos, gradación por relevancia, búsqueda booleana guiada, navegación facetada, ofrecimiento de ítems relacionados, servicios personalizados como MiCuenta o MiBiblioteca, opciones de diseño, características de la Web social como etiquetado o folksonomía, inclusión de reseñas, anotaciones o calificaciones por parte de los usuarios, aportes de la producción propia, creación de grupos de interés, etc. El desafío que se presenta es repensar el catálogo de modo que contribuya a descubrir la información del modo más eficiente posible, con inclusión de resúmenes, notas de contenido o vínculo al texto completo de los documentos. Existen experiencias basadas en programas comerciales como el catálogo de las bibliotecas de la North Carolina State University (Sirsi/Dynyx + interfaz Endeca) y otras con recursos open source como la de BRAC University de Bangladesh (Koha + Vufind). Se considera que esta última experiencia puede ser de interés para las bibliotecas de nuestro medio.
