Unidades fraseológicas relacionadas con los sentidos: análisis contrastivo español/francés y propuesta de clasificación conceptual

Unitats fraseològiques relacionades amb els sentits: anàlisi contrastiva castellà/francès i proposta de classificació conceptual. Aquest estudi té com a propòsit analitzar un conjunt de 47 unitats fraseològiques relacionades amb els sentits per tal de presentar-ne una taxonomia que sigui rendible en el procés d’ensenyament/aprenentatge de l’espanyol en relació amb un context determinat (la docència a estudiants de parla francesa). Per això, es realitza, d’una banda, una anàlisi contrastiva castellà/francès de les unitats seleccionades, a partir de la qual es constitueix una classificació segons quatre criteris: estructura sintàctica, registre, idiomaticitat i possibilitat d’equivalència. D’altra banda, partint de les propostes de la lingüística cognitiva, s’estableix una taxonomia de tipus conceptual d’aquestes mateixes unitats segons les metàfores i conceptes compartits per l’espanyol i el francès

Hybridation MEMS/UWB pour la navigation pédestre intra-muros

Facing the expansion of geolocation needs, illustrated by the GALILEO European project, the growth of Location Based Services (LBS) and the need to identify the location of emergency mobile phone calls in Europe (standard E112), the research on localization techniques is booming. This thesis focuses on indoor pedestrian navigation and investigates a localization solution based on micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and ultra-wideband waves (UWB). MEMS based localization estimates the current location from a previously determined position using on-board low-cost inertial embedded sensors. Unfortunately, the performances of these autonomous systems are affected by large errors (typical of these sensors). In fact standalone solutions drift rapidly with time. Impulse-Radio UWB (IR-UWB) Times Of Arrival (TOA) are often used for localization purposes. This network based technology uses sensor networks, mainly attached to the infrastructure of the building to estimate the location of the transmitter with decimetre accuracy in ideal scenarii. However the indoor environment is hostile for radio propagation. Full of artificial obstacles, electromagnetic waves are disturbed and radiolocation performances are reduced. Construction materials also affect the magnetic field used to estimate the pedestrian's walking direction. In this context, the hybridization of these two complementary and uncorrelated technologies is promising. The study of the movement pattern of a pedestrian walking indoors induces two main outcomes on localization techniques. Firstly, random pedestrian movements complicate MEMS signal processing. Secondly, when the transmitter is worn by the user, for example around the neck, IR-UWB that propagates through the human body can hardly contribute to the localization. Optimal data fusion filters that hybridize a large set of observations : Angles Of Arrival (AOA), Time Differences Of Arrival (TDOA), accelerations, angular velocities and magnetic field measurements are presented. The coupling of UWB and MEMS data relies on an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) complemented with specific procedures. Loose integration and tight integration are considered. Outlier detection processes within the radio data enrich the EKF. The most remarkable process is based on the RANSAC paradigm and employs the physical constraints of the pedestrian's walk described by biomechanics. In some cases, it enables the processing of reflected radio signals. A user equipped with a MEMS module and an UWB transceiver walked in the premises of the EPFL, following nine independent paths, for a total length of 380 m. The benefit of the MEMS/UWB hybridization filters are evaluated based on this experiment. The tight integration outperforms the loose coupling and enables indoor pedestrian localization with a one metre accuracy

La improvisación dramática como entrenamiento estratégico en el aula de LE

En este artículo, se plantea la dramatización como procedimiento válido para el entrenamiento estratégico de destrezas orales. Más concretamente se desarrolla el concepto de improvisación teatral y su papel en el proceso de aprendizaje de la competencia estratégica. Este trabajo se propone igualmente describir un experimento de dramatización realizado con alumnos y sus resultados

Personal Robust Navigation in Challenging Applications

Personal navigation has grown rapidly with the introduction of ubiquitous computing and the new generation of smart phones. Appropriate localisation is nowadays a central element for many applications and mobile services. However the proper estimation of the user's location remains a challenge. This paper presents an innovative concept for accurate and reliable positioning in challenging applications. It consists of three components: an absolute geographical reference, the hybridisation of complementary technologies and specific motion models. Two different applications illustrate this concept: urban displacement of blind people and guidance of firefighters. The validity of the concept is assessed with indoor experimental results. Finally the conclusion gives a prospective view of robust personal navigation

Induction of T Regulatory Cells Attenuates Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome

Buffalo/Mna rats spontaneously develop FSGS and nephrotic syndrome as a result of an immune disorder. Similar to some humans with FSGS, the disease recurs after renal transplantation, suggesting the involvement of a circulating factor. Here, we tested the effect of several immunosuppressive treatments on these rats. Although corticosteroids, cyclosporin A, and anti–T cell receptor treatment reduced proteinuria, only the deoxyspergualin derivative LF15-0195 led to a rapid and complete normalization of proteinuria. Furthermore, this compound led to the regression of renal lesions during both the initial disease and posttransplantation recurrence. The frequency of splenic and peripheral CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ T lymphocytes significantly increased with remission. Moreover, the transfer of purified LF15-0195–induced CD4+CD25+ T cells to irradiated Buff/Mna rats significantly reduced their proteinuria compared with the transfer of untreated control cells, suggesting that LF15-0195 induces regulatory T cells that are able to induce regression of rat nephropathy. These data suggest that idiopathic nephrotic syndrome/FSGS disease can be regulated by cellular transfer, but how this regulation leads to the reorganization of the podocyte cytoskeleton remains to be determined
