Nutzung online verfügbarer Ressourcen für die Darstellung von Aufbau, Funktionsweise und Einsatzszenarien maschineller Übersetzung

Nach der Erfindung der Computer in Kombination mit der Sprachwissenschaft entstand die maschinelle Übersetzung als Teilbereich der künstlichen Intelligenz. Maschinelle Übersetzungssysteme werden heutzutage oft im Lokalisierungsprozess eingesetzt, um die Übersetzungs- und Lokalisierungsaufwände zeitlich und kostenmäßig zu reduzieren. Es ist zu sehen, dass heutzutage maschinelle Übersetzung starke und eindeutige Marktpräsenz besitzt. Daher gibt es immer mehr Menschen, die sich für die Darstellung von Aufbau, Funktionsweise und Einsatzszenarien maschineller Übersetzung und für die Nutzung online verfügbarer Ressourcen für maschinelle Übersetzung interessieren. Die vorliegende Arbeit gibt einen Überblick über die Anwendungsbereiche, Anwendungsverfahren und die Möglichkeiten der Nutzung online verfügbarer Ressourcen der maschinellen Übersetzung, so dass sich im Beruf stehende Übersetzer mit dieser Technologie und ihren Möglichkeiten und Grenzen vertraut machen können. Auch im Rahmen eines Fernstudiums können die in der Arbeit vorgestellten Informationsquellen und Ressourcen eingesetzt werden, um die Grundlagen der MÜ zu erlernen. Zu diesem Zweck werden die weiteren Aufgabenfelder und Kombinationsmöglichkeiten in naher Zukunft prognostiziert.

Commuters' valuation of travel time variability in Barcelona

The value given by commuters to the variability of travel times is empirically analysed using stated preference data from Barcelona (Spain). Respondents are asked to choose between alternatives that differ in terms of cost, average travel time, variability of travel times and departure time. Different specifications of a scheduling choice model are used to measure the influence of various socioeconomic characteristics. Our results show that travel time variability.

Why the EU does not Have an Independent Competition Agency: French Interests and Transaction Costs in Early European Integration

A major achievement of new institutionalism in economics and political science is the formalisation of the idea that certain policies are more efficient when administered by a politically independent organisation. Based on this insight, several policy actors and scholars criticise the European Community for relying too much on a multi-task, collegial, and politicised organisation, the European Commission. This raises important questions, some constitutional (who should be able to change the corresponding procedural rules?) and some political-economic (is Europe truly committed to free and competitive markets?). Though acknowledging the relevance of legal and normative arguments, this paper contributes to the debate with a positive political-scientific perspective. Based on the view that institutional equilibria raise the question of equilibrium institutions, it shows that collegiality was (a) an equilibrium institution during the Paris negotiations of 1950-51; and (b) an institutional equilibrium for the following 50 years. The conclusion points to some recent changes in the way that European competition policy is implemented, and discusses how these affect the “constitutional” principle of collegial European governance.

Venda de kiwis online: www.prosmokiwi.com

Avui en dia la venda de productes, mitjançant les possibilitats que ens ofereix Internet, es troba en ple creixement. Aquest projecte pretén posar en funcionament una pàgina Web dedicada a la venda de fruita, concretament kiwis. Des de fa un temps, la població comença a ser conscient del desequilibri entre l'agent productor i l'agent comercial. Com passa també en altres sectors, el productor ven a un preu molt inferior respecte al que després es ficarà de cara al comprador final. En el cas de la fruita, el client acaba comprant un producte més car i normalment de menys qualitat. L'objectiu principal d'aquest projecte és promoure la venda online a partir d'una mercaderia de qualitat i més econòmica, aconseguint un major benefici tant per part del productor com del client.

The Good, the Bad and the Populist: A Model of Political Agency with Emotional Voters

This paper attempts to extend existing models of political agency to an environment in which voting may be divided between informed and instrumental, informed and ‘expressive’ (Brennan and Lomasky (1993)) and uninformed due to ‘rational irrationality’ (Caplan (2007)). It constructs a model where politicians may be good, bad or populist. Populists are more willing than good politicians to pander to voters who may choose inferior policies in a large-group electoral setting because their vote is insignificant compared with those that voters would choose were their vote decisive in determining the electoral outcome. Bad politicians would ideally like to extract tax revenue for their own ends. Initially we assume the existence of only good and populist politicians. The paper investigates the incentives for good politicians to pool with or separate from populists and focuses on three key issues – (1) how far the majority of voter’s preferences are from those held by the better informed incumbent politician (2) the extent to which the population exhibits rational irrationality and expressiveness (jointly labelled as emotional) and (3) the cost involved in persuading uninformed voters to change their views in terms of composing messages and spreading them. This paper goes on to consider how the inclusion of bad politicians may affect the behaviour of good politicians and suggests that a small amount of potential corruption may be socially useful. It is also argued that where bad politicians have an incentive to mimic the behaviour of good and populist politicians, the latter types of politician may have an incentive to separate from bad politicians by investing in costly public education signals. The paper also discusses the implications of the model for whether fiscal restraints should be soft or hard.

Soportes publicitarios online y offline desde la perspectiva de la planificación de medios

El tema tractat en aquest treball són els suports publicitaris online y offline, des de la perspectiva de la planificació de mitjans. El desenvolupament de l’exposició es fonamenta en l’anàlisi comparatiu entre els mitjans i suports publicitaris offline y online actuals. A través de la investigació i la recopilació de dades sobre la compra de mitjans, les mesures publicitàries, l’anàlisi de l’efectivitat i les darreres inversions anuals, arribarem a unes conclusions en les que descobrirem si els conceptes estudiats són els mateixos tant en l’àmbit offline com en l’online.

The management of iron deficiency in inflammatory bowel disease--an online tool developed by the RAND/UCLA appropriateness method.

BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency is a common and undertreated problem in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). AIM: To develop an online tool to support treatment choice at the patient-specific level. METHODS: Using the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method (RUAM), a European expert panel assessed the appropriateness of treatment regimens for a variety of clinical scenarios in patients with non-anaemic iron deficiency (NAID) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). Treatment options included adjustment of IBD medication only, oral iron supplementation, high-/low-dose intravenous (IV) regimens, IV iron plus erythropoietin-stimulating agent (ESA), and blood transfusion. The panel process consisted of two individual rating rounds (1148 treatment indications; 9-point scale) and three plenary discussion meetings. RESULTS: The panel reached agreement on 71% of treatment indications. 'No treatment' was never considered appropriate, and repeat treatment after previous failure was generally discouraged. For 98% of scenarios, at least one treatment was appropriate. Adjustment of IBD medication was deemed appropriate in all patients with active disease. Use of oral iron was mainly considered an option in NAID and mildly anaemic patients without disease activity. IV regimens were often judged appropriate, with high-dose IV iron being the preferred option in 77% of IDA scenarios. Blood transfusion and IV+ESA were indicated in exceptional cases only. CONCLUSIONS: The RUAM revealed high agreement amongst experts on the management of iron deficiency in patients with IBD. High-dose IV iron was more often considered appropriate than other options. To facilitate dissemination of the recommendations, panel outcomes were embedded in an online tool, accessible via http://ferroscope.com/.
