3D survey and virtual reconstruction of heritage. The case study of the City Council and Lonja of Alcañiz

With current data acquisition techniques, exhaustive documentation of patrimonial goods is generated, which allows obtaining a 3D geometric model, on which data from research from research is generated. As in other fields of architecture, the latest graphic techniques and manipulation of the image, allow a working methodology other than the current one in the patrimonial field. The information systems have been evolving towards technologies developed with open source software, the use of standards, ontologies and the structuring of information and of the 3D model itself under a semantic hierarchy. Interoperability between databases is favored and the maintenance of applications is ensured. The purpose is to support decision-making related to the model and simultaneously, serve multiple purposes such as cataloging, protection, restoration, conservation, maintenance or dissemination, among others. The research carried out for the realization of the survey of the City Council and Lonja of Alcañiz (Teruel), has the aim of expanding the historical knowledge of the buildings and delimiting its possible constructive phases, in order to obtain the geometric reality of the buildings. In this way, provide greater instruments to carry out the drafting work of the set restoration project.

The Significance of Semantic Hierarchy and Canonicity in Sentence Comprehension: A Study of Persian-speaking Patients With Alzheimer

Introduction: A lot of research in diverse languages has tried to scrutinize the impact of canonicity upon the performance of patients with Alzheimer's disease. Regarding the gap in the Persian setting, this study tried to delve into the nature of this deficit in patients with Alzheimer. Materials and Methods: This is a case series study, and our subjects included 2 Persian- speaking monolingual patients with Alzheimer and 5 healthy elderly individuals matched with each other according to parameters like educational degree, vernacular tongue, and homeland. The categories to be tested included subject agentive, subject experiencer, object experiencer, and object cleft constructions. Results: The results of the sentence completion task demonstrated that problems would emerge when patients with Alzheimer try to comprehend the syntactic structures belonged to 2, 3, and 4 categories. Conclusion: Our findings would demonstrate that patients with Alzheimer have many challenges when trying to map syntactic representation onto semantic realization. This type of deficit escalates when patients attempt to assign thematic roles to psychological predicates. As for the clinical implication of the research, it was recommended that the type of structures utilized by neuropsychiatrists for the communicative purpose be chosen from utterances that are in line with the mapping strategy.

Financial Early Warning System Model Combining Hybrid Semantic Hierarchy with Group Method of Data Handling Neural Network for Detection of Banks’ Risks

Banks, financial, and credit institutions encountering the weakening financial system and increased risk factors cause high inflation and great losses for an economy. Detecting financial risks in advance could help financial institutions avoid losses, and the financial system could be eventually affected less. Early warning systems for banks could be helpful to identify financial risks and take measures to deal with hazardous situations. Various approaches have already been put forward. However, inaccuracy issues in risk detection are one of the main issues. Combining semantic hierarchy with the GMDH neural network to predict financial risks is proposed. A semantic hierarchy approach based on converting risk-related values and picking influential variables could be practical in risk detection. Besides, the GMDH algorithm utilizing neural networks based on available data has the capability of predicting possible risks that could occur in the future. The outcomes of the proposed method when compared to non-data mining methods suggest that it improves accuracy by almost 20%.

Sequential consumer choice as multi-cued retrieval

Fulfilling goals in open-ended tasks like grocery shopping requires sequential navigation of countless options. When deciding what to choose next, we propose that past choices cue retrieval of subsequent options from memory. Moreover, each past choice may function as a cue to multiple knowledge sources, such as episodic, semantic, and hierarchical relationships involving the item. We evaluate this account of open-ended sequential choice on the purchase sequences of over 100,000 online grocery shoppers. Consistent with our account, we find that consumer choices are predicted by their similarity with their previous choice, suggesting that past choices cue retrieval of subsequent options. Products that co-occurred in the same episode, were nearby in semantic space, or neighbours in a semantic hierarchy were most likely to be chosen, suggesting that consumers queried multiple types of long-term knowledge. We evaluated a wide array of formal models and found that the one that best accounted for people's choices included retrieval cues for all three knowledge types. Models fits to individuals allowed us to assess how much they relied upon each knowledge type. The type of knowledge that people most relied upon determined the type of errors they made; more episodic retrievals predicted fewer forgotten items and more semantic retrievals predicted more items being added to one's basket that they didn't otherwise need. Our results demonstrate how basic retrieval mechanisms shape sequential choices in real-world, goal-directed tasks.

Peculiarities of actualization of sociological, cultural and episodic memory components in the works of the Great Patriotic War

The article studies a complex contaminated process of actualization of semantic components, which explicate various spheres of intentional objectification of general content in the texts of the precedent world “The Great Patriotic War”. The focuses, first of all, on the axiological basis for integrating the components of comparing personal understanding of the precedent phenomenon and its perception in culture. The dominants of psychic and socially oriented elements of the value space acquire their verbalization in the intimization sphere on the basis of texts of special cultural significance. They are analyzed on the basis of the hermeneutic method, which allows revealing the greatest number of facets of both the basic, nuclear area of verbalization, and to delimit the etymological, passive elements of the semantic hierarchy. In addition, in the process of analyzing the core and periphery, the most effective ways of verbalization and intimization of individual overtones of cultural concepts are determined. Within the framework of identifying the mechanisms of reflexive understanding of the phenomena of “feat”, “suffering”, “anger”, the initial contaminated space of modification of nuclear, etymological, historical and personal peripheral components in their inextricable interaction and mutual influence is recreated. The essence of the dismembered diegetic narration as a key technique for guiding the recipient into the process of derivation of the general content of the work with the formation of a common space of perception and understanding is revealed. The key principles of the reader’s presentation and awareness of the “intimacy” of the narrative with mutual reflexive assessment of the event by the reader and the reader’s hypothetical attitude by the author of the work are described. On the basis of the author’s intentional and unconscious reader’s social reflection in the process of actualizing the components of sociocultural memory within the framework of the precedent world of the Great Patriotic War, a complex conceptual-valency space with a multilevel structure is formed in the linguocultural consciousness of the Russian-speaking community, including the components of the author’s episodic memory.
