Segmentation and Clustering of Textual Sequences: a Typological Approach

The long term goal of this research is to develop a program able to produce an automatic segmentation and categorization of textual sequences into discourse types. In this preliminary contribution, we present the construction of an algorithm which takes a segmented text as input and attempts to produce a categorization of sequences, such as narrative, argumentative, descriptive and so on. Also, this work aims at investigating a possible convergence between the typological approach developed in particular in the field of text and discourse analysis in French by Adam (2008) and Bronckart (1997) and unsupervised statistical learning.

Textual characteristics of coarse sediments in selected streams of the Niagara Peninsula, Ontario

The streams flowing through the Niagara Escarpment are paved by coarse carbonate and sandstone sediments which have originated from the escarpment units and can be traced downstream from their source. Fifty-nine sediment samples were taken from five streams, over distances of 3,000 to 10,000 feet (915 to 3050 m), to determine downstream changes in sediment composition, textural characteristics and sorting. In addition, fluorometric velocity measurements were used in conjunction with measured -discharge and flow records to estimate the frequency of sediment movement. The frequency of sediments of a given lithology changes downstream in direct response to the outcrop position of the formations in the channels. Clasts derived from a single stratigraphic unit usually reach a maximum frequency within the first 1,000 feet (305 m) of transport. Sediments derived from formations at the top of waterfalls reach a modal frequency farther downstream than material originating at the base of waterfalls. Downstream variations in sediment size over the lengths of the study reaches reflect the changes in channel morphology and lithologic composition of the sediment samples. Linear regression analyses indicate that there is a decrease in the axial lengths between the intial and final samples and that the long axis decreases in length more rapidly than the intermediate, while the short axis remains almost constant. Carbonate sediments from coarse-grained, fossiliferous units - iii - are more variable in size than fine-grained dolostones and sandstones. The average sphericity for carbonates and sandstones increases from 0.65 to 0.67, while maximum projection sphericity remains nearly constant with an average value of 0.52. Pebble roundness increases more rapidly than either of the sphericity parameters and the sediments change from subrounded to rounded. The Hjulstrom diagram indicates that the velocities required to initiate transport of sediments with an average intermediate diameter of 10 cm range from 200 cm/s to 300 cm/s (6.6 ft./sec. to 9.8 ft./sec.). From the modal velocitydischarge relations, the flows corresponding to these velocities are greater than 3,500 cfs (99 m3s). These discharges occur less than 0.01 p~r cent (0.4 days) of the time and correspond to a discharge occurring during the spring flood.

Ontario's curriculum for individuals with disabilities : a textual analysis

The purpose of this study was to examine the disability discourses present in Ontario elementary schools curriculum. The study used a critical social analysis perspective to employ a textual discourse analysis on the Planning [title of subject] Programs for Students with Special Education Needs (PPSSEN) section of the curriculum. The present study utilized Parker's (1992) seven criteria for distinguishing discourses and discovered five main discourses; Independent, dependent, legal, scientific and agency discourses. The second step to this research was the placement and discussion of these five discourses on three diverse texts, Paulo Freire's (2008) Pedagogy o/ the Oppressed, Psychiatry Inside Out, Selected writings of Franco Basaglia, written by Scheper-Huges and Lovell (1987) and Aronowitz and Giroux's (1985) Education Under Siege: The Conservative, Liberal and Radical Debate over Schooling. These unique perspectives were used as methods of analysis tools to further analyze the dominate disability discourses. The texts provided textual support in three major areas; dialectics, critical education and structural conditions of power and language of traditional roles and responsibilities. The findings and discussions presented in this project contain significant implications for anyone involved with students with disabilities in any education system.

La cohesión social y las creencias de sentido en los currícula educativos.

Aproximarse al fenómeno de la religión y la multiculturalidad e interculturalidad religiosa en la escuela, aceptando las cuatros religiones históricas que en el año 2004 tienen posibilidad legal de impartir Educación Religiosa escolar. Se centra en la situación de Andalucía, haciendo referencia a la provincia de Sevilla, debido a que es en la Universidad Hispalense donde se presenta esta investigación. Estudiar desde las ciencias de la educación y la metodología pedagógica, el problema que la interculturalidad presenta en las aulas en lo que se refiere a la cohesión social y exponer opiniones que sean útiles. El método seleccionado consiste en un estudio comparativo de elementos comunes, seguido de una comparativa entre los diversos currículos. Dentro de la metodología experimental la técnica de registro es por observación, no participante, indirecta y por restos. Se selecciona la población de tercero de Magisterio de la Escuela Universitaria Cardenal Espínola, de Infantil y Educación Especial. La muestra total es de 113 sujetos, de edades comprendidas entre 21 y 25 años, 4,3 por cientos son hombres y el 86,7 por ciento son mujeres. El instrumento utilizado es un cuestionario elaborado para tal fin. Se demuestra como a lo largo de la historia las creencias han buscado generar sistemas de información, formación para incorporar a las personas en el propio sistema creencial. Se presentan las finalidades y las fundamentaciones legales de dichos currículos en la que se justifica la permanencia en la escuela contemporánea. Se verifica que cambian los modelos curriculares, pero epistemológicamente no hay cambios. En temas históricos se observan los diferentes conflictos entre las creencias. Al actualizar los currícula se encuentra dificultades de encajar estos curricula en el sistema educativo español. Se observa la urgencia para alternativa por una sociedad más cohesionada. Necesidad de un 'pacto entre ideólogos, políticos y educadores' para lograr una equilibrada cohesión social, necesidad de un diálogo entre iguales para alcanzar un mínimo respeto: la presencia de las creencias de sentido en la escuela, privada y pública; el establecimiento de objetivos, competencias, contenidos y evaluación que garantice los diversos derechos ciudadanos.

Resumen tomado de la publicaci??n

La Transmisión textual de Locuras de Europa de Diego de Saavedra Fajardo

Treball de investigació centrat en la crítica textual on es descriuen atentament tots els testimonis que s’han conservat de l’obra tardana de Diego de Saavedra Fajardo “Locuras de Europa,” ambaixador i escriptor murcià. Es realitza una anàlisi exhaustiva dels quatre manuscrits i de les dues edicions impreses de l’obra per acabar filiant tots els testimonis en un stemma. El cos del treball es complementa amb el text crític final i amb un apartat crític
