In the research work "Silvain Pouvreauren hiztegiaren iturriak eta testukritikaren metodologia" (ASJU XLII-2, 2008, 69-118) we studied the Pouvreau’s literature and lexical sources with the support of the text criticism. Among the conclusions, we pointed out the need of going deep into the study of the mentioned written sources, and to approach to the aspects of the Pouvreau’s lexicography that in the previous works carried out by several researchers had been insufficiently studied or remained unstudied, i.e. the dictionary patterns apart from Voltoire’s one (ASJU XLIV-2, 2010, 221-278) on what Pouvreau could based to prepare theirs, the structuration’s process of the dictionary, their chronology, the gathered basque spoken testimonies, evolution with the time of dictionary’s entries and subentries, and so on. These objectives prompted us to carry out with the aid in this occasion the metalexicography and the text criticism, the doctoral thesis called Pouvreauren hiztegia testukritika eta metalexikografiaren argitan that we defended in november of 2014.In this number of ASJU we present the section of the thesis "Pouvreauren hiztegiaren antolakuntza" that is divided in three subsections: i) about dictionary’ structure, i.e. macro and microstructure ii) about French lexicography pattern, i.e. traces of the French lexicographers Voltoire, Oudin and Nicot in the Pouvreau’s dictionary. iii) about structuration of the dictionary.The main results we have obtained are the following: the nomenclature is organized in an ethymological order as that Nicot’s dictionary has. Regarding the microstructure, our results are not conclusive, because Pouvreau’s original manuscript has a lot of marginal entries, Spanish equivalents, proverbes and so on, that difficult to draw out any final conclusion. On the other hand, Nicot’s and Oudin’s dictionaries were the main patterns that Pouvreau utilized to organize theirs, at a greater extent than Voltoire’s one. In efect, it looks like Pouvreau consulted the two dictionaries simultaneously, but choosing the ethymological order of the Nicot’s one as the guide. Finally, and according with our hypothesis Pouvreau utilized mainly two starting languages to structure their dictionary: i) French: on one hand looking for the correspondant Basque equivalents to Nicot’s and Oudin’s entries, and on the other hand, but an a more little extent by incorporating as entries several terms from he himself translated texts from French to Basque, ii) Basque: incorporating Basque authors’ and spoken testimonies.

My apologies to Mr. Chrétien and to your readers for “developing some simplistic formulas on Burundi” in my quest for “media success.” No such simplistic formulas enter his criticism of my Congressional testimony. On the one hand, I am taken to task for not conceding that my interpretation of the Hutu-Tutsi conflict as a recent phenomenon is the product of Chrétien’s “patient research work” over the last quarter of a century; on the other hand, “some very similar analysis” had appeared in my “excellent work of 1970,” which came out long before Mr. Chrétien embarked on his patient research! Try to figure that one out if you can.

Prediction of future movement of stock prices has been a subject matter of many research work. On one hand, we have proponents of the Efficient Market Hypothesis who claim that stock prices cannot be predicted, on the other hand, there are propositions illustrating that, if appropriately modeled, stock prices can be predicted with a high level of accuracy. There is also a gamut of literature on technical analysis of stock prices where the objective is to identify patterns in stock price movements and profit from it. In this work, we propose a hybrid approach for stock price prediction using five deep learning-based regression models. We select the NIFTY 50 index values of the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India, over a period of December 29, 2014 to July 31, 2020. Based on the NIFTY data during December 29, 2014 to December 28, 2018, we build two regression models using <i>convolutional neural networks</i> (CNNs), and three regression models using <i>long-and-short-term memory</i> (LSTM) networks for predicting the <i>open</i> values of the NIFTY 50 index records for the period December 31, 2018 to July 31, 2020. We adopted a multi-step prediction technique with <i>walk-forward validation</i>. The parameters of the five deep learning models are optimized using the grid-search technique so that the validation losses of the models stabilize with an increasing number of epochs in the model training, and the training and validation accuracies converge. Extensive results are presented on various metrics for all the proposed regression models. The results indicate that while both CNN and LSTM-based regression models are very accurate in forecasting the NIFTY 50 <i>open</i> values, the CNN model that previous one week’s data as the input is the fastest in its execution. On the other hand, the encoder-decoder convolutional LSTM model uses the previous two weeks’ data as the input is found to be the most accurate in its forecasting results.

El presente artículo se basa en las conclusiones de la Tesis doctoral La Colección de Fotografía del Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao (1914-2014): estudio, catalogación y análisis1. Más allá del estudio de los fondos fotográficos que custodia el Museo, la investigación plantea cuestiones adyacentes que aluden a la problemática de la conservación del Patrimonio fotográfico, como a las dificultades que tenido el medio en su introducción en las instituciones, especialmente en lo que atañe a los museos. Con ello se perfila con contexto en el que ubicar el papel que tuvo el Bilboko Arte Ederren Museoa=Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao en su principal etapa de conformación de la Colección de fotografía, desde 1980 hasta 1997. Por otro lado, se busca dar a conocer los fondos conservados en el Museo, como aportación a la cartografía del Patrimonio fotográfico español y a la problemática de su indefinición. 1Dirigida por José Manuel Susperregui y Concha Casajús, fue defendida en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid el 20 de febrero del 2019. Asimismo, la investigación tuvo como punto de partida la Beca BBK-Museo, que me fue concedida durante los años 2014 hasta 2016, con el fin de catalogar y hacer un primer estudio de la Colección de Fotografía del Bilboko Arte Ederren Museoa=Museo de Bellas Artes de Bilbao. This article is based on the conclusions of the doctoral thesis The Photography Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao (1914-2014): study, cataloging and analysis1. Beyond the study of the photographic collections that the Museum keeps, the research raises adjacent issues that allude to the problematic of the conservation of the photographic heritage, as well as the difficulties that the medium had in its introduction in the institutions, especially as regards to the museums. With this, it is outlined with context in which to locate the paper that the Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao in its main stage of conformation of the Photography Collection, from 1980 to 1997. On the other hand, it is sought to give to know the funds preserved in the Museum, as a contribution to the cartography of the Spanish photographic heritage and the problems of its lack of definition. 1Directed by José Manuel Susperregui and Concha Casajús, it was defended at the Complutense University of Madrid on February 20, 2019. Likewise, the research had as its starting point the BBK-Museum Scholarship, which was granted to me during the years 2014 to 2016, in order to catalog and make a first study of the Photography Collection of the Bilboko Arte Ederren Museoa = Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao.

The main objective of this work is to perform a comparative analysis of sentence and main noun phrases complexity in two different types of discourses, written media and academic prose, using a trained syntactic parser (Stanford PCFG Parser). For this purpose, we have selected three written sources: a general media corpus, a medical media subcorpus and a medical academic prose subcorpus. From a total of more than 160000 sentences, we have carefully selected as the study sample a total of 300, which have been morphologically and syntactically annotated.Influenced by other studies related to syntax and statistics, our hypothesis is that NPs from academic prose and written media will contain four or more words, and those belonging to academic prose will be larger than the latter. The NPs studied are those that perform the main functions of the clause: subject, object (direct and indirect), attribute and time expressions. The results show a confirmation of our hypothesis. The academic subcorpus has the longest sentences and more complex NPs than the other texts. On the other hand, written media corpora achieve smaller NPs but their results are quite similar.


The outstanding impression left from our visit is a memory of the extraordinary kindness of the hospitality which we received: in particular the officials of the Kaiser-Wilhelm Gesellschaft took the utmost pains to organize our visit so that we could utilize the time at our disposal as profitably as possible. Our greatest privilege was that of meeting our colleagues at Dahlem and seeing their remarkable group of institutes, which together, are comparable in size to a university. The research work carried out there is world renowned and hence need not be specified in detail. Our general impression was that this organization provided ideal conditions for research. The heads of the institutes could devote their uninterrupted attention to research whilst the equipment and staffing were much superior to those in most universities. On the other hand, the grouping together of the institutes prevented the isolation which is so commonly a trouble with research institutes.

The technological growth in the last years have conducted to the development of virtual reality (VR) systems able to immerse the user into a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment where the user can interact in real time with virtual objects. This interaction is mainly based on visualizing the virtual environment and objects. However, with the recent beginning of haptic systems, the interaction with the virtual world has been extended to also feel, touch and manipulate virtual objects. Virtual reality has been successfully used in the development of applications in different scientific areas ranging from basic sciences, social science, education and entertainment. On the other hand, the use of haptics has increased in the last decade in domains from sciences and engineering to art and entertainment. Despite many developments, there is still relatively little knowledge about the confluence of software, enabling hardware, visual and haptic representations, to enable the conditions that best provide for an immersive sensory environment to convey information about a particular subject domain. In this paper, the state of the art of the research work regarding virtual reality and haptic technologies carried out by the authors in the last years is presented. The aim is to evidence the potential use of these technologies to develop usable systems for analysis and simulation in different areas of knowledge. The development of three different systems in the areas of engineering, medicine and art is presented. In the area of engineering, a system for the planning, evaluation and training of assembly and manufacturing tasks has been developed. The system, named as HAMS (Haptic Assembly and Manufacturing System), is able to simulate assembly tasks of complex components with force feedback provided by the haptic device. On the other hand, in the area of medicine, a surgical simulator for planning and training orthognathic surgeries has been developed. The system, named as VOSS (Virtual Osteotomy Simulator System), allows the realization of virtual osteotomies with force feedback. Finally, in the area of art, an interactive cinema system for blind people has been developed. The system is able to play a 3D virtual movie for the blind user to listen to and touch by means of the haptic device. The development of these applications and the results obtained from these developments are presented and discussed in this paper.

The linguistic history of the Italian, French, and Occitan Jewish communities may be reconstructed thanks to the survival of both written records and modern dialects. The situation of the three groups, however, sharply diverges in terms of quality and quantity of the available sources and retention of their linguistic identity after the medieval period. For the Jewish communities of the Italo-Romance area, there is a corpus of medieval and modern texts, mostly in Hebrew script, and with several dialectological inquiries for modern and contemporary dialects. As for the Jewish communities of Northern France, only a limited corpus of medieval written sources exists, because the French-speaking Jews were linguistically assimilated to their respective environments after the 1394 expulsion from the kingdom of France. On the other hand, the records of the Occitan-speaking Jews are scanty for both the medieval and the modern periods, when they apparently maintained a certain amount of linguistic distinctiveness.

Процессы, происходящие в современном информационном мире, неизбежно влияют на традиционные сообщества. Интернет является площадкой, где активно распространяются традиционные тексты, имевшие ранее ограниченное хождение в силу специфики их сохранения и воспроизведения. Представители непальской народности лимбу создали группу в социальной сети Facebook, где публикуют свои мифы, генеалогии, сказки и предания. Через платформу соцсети мифы доходят до более широкой аудитории, к тому же она предоставляет возможность для активного обсуждения. Меняется язык (с языка лимбу на непальский) и форма изложения (с поэтической на прозаическую). Мифы воспроизводятся не со слов шаманов, но по письменным источникам: санскритским текстам, работам европейских и местных ученых. Это иллюстрирует стремление лимбу придать «вес» собственной религии и традиции. Намечается разрыв в мифоритуальных практиках. Ритуал обсуждается только в связи с жертвоприношениями, которые воспринимаются частью участников как признак отсталости общества. Наибольшую значимость приобретает антропогонический миф, поскольку именно вера в общее происхождение является одним из важнейших критериев этничности. Активное воспроизведение мифа о творении человека в социальных сетях является одним из факторов, позволяющих лимбу сохранять чувство этнической общности Traditional societies are inevitably influenced by processes happening in the modern informational world. The internet is a place for active distribution of traditional texts, which formerly had limited circulation. The Limbu (or Yakthung) people of Nepal have created a Facebook group where they post their myths, genealogies, tales and legends. The social network makes it easy for these myths to reach a broad audience and provides an opportunity for active discussion. The language used is changing - from the Limbu language to Nepali - as well as the medium of speech (from the poetry to prose). The posted myths are based not on a shaman’s words but on written sources, i. e. Sanskrit texts, and works of local or foreign scholars. This shows how the Limbu aim to raise the profile of their religion and tradition. A rupture may be seen in mythical and ritual practices. Ritual is only discussed in the context of sacrifices, which some of the Limbu consider a sign of social backwardness. On the other hand, the anthropogonic myth has been gaining additional importance because the belief in common ancestry constitutes one of the most important criteria of ethnicity. Active sharing of anthropogonic myths on the social network thus allows the Limbu to preserve their sense of ethnic unity.

PurposeA huge variety of devices accumulates as well distributes a large quantity of data either with the help of wired networks or wireless networks to implement a wide variety of application scenarios. The spectrum resources on the other hand become extremely unavailable with the development of communication devices and thereby making it difficult to transmit data on time.Design/methodology/approachThe spectrum resources on the other hand become extremely unavailable with the development of communication devices and thereby making it difficult to transmit data on time. Therefore, the technology of cognitive radio (CR) is considered as one of the efficient solutions for addressing the drawbacks of spectrum distribution whereas the secondary user (SU) performance is significantly influenced by the spatiotemporal instability of spectrum.FindingsAs a result, the technique of the hybrid filter detection network model (HFDNM) is suggested in this research work under various SU relationships in the networks of CR. Furthermore, a technique of hybrid filter detection was recommended in this work to enhance the performance of idle spectrum applications. When compared to other existing techniques, the suggested research work achieves enhanced efficiency with respect to both throughputs as well as delay.Originality/valueThe proposed HFDNM improved the transmission delay at 3 SUs with 0.004 s/message and 0.008 s/message when compared with existing NCNC and NNC methods in case of number of SUs and also improved 0.02 s/message and 0.08 s/message when compared with the existing methods of NCNC and NNC in case of channel loss probability at 0.3.
