Terminology and ontology development in the domain of Islamic archaeology

International audienceThis paper describes an example regarding the terminology of Islamic pottery artefacts in Portuguese and Spanish in the context of an ongoing Ph D project. The approach followed in this paper places knowledge representation at the core of terminology work. More specifically, the development of an ontology, i.e. a formal and computational conceptualisation, enables the integration of a multilingual termbase in the semantic web as linked data, targeted at experts and students of archaeology. This approach allows for the preservation of linguistic diversity, as reflected by the different linguistic practices engaged by Portuguese and Spanish archaeologists in scholarly communication

an ontology of Islamic artefacts for terminological purposes

UID/LIN/03213/2019OntoAndalus aims at constituting a shared conceptualisation of the domain within a future multilingual terminological resource targeted at experts and students of Islamic archaeology. The present version of OntoAndalus is aligned with DOLCE+DnS Ultralite (DUL), an established top-level ontology for the Semantic Web. This article describes the modelling assumptions underlying OntoAndalus, as well as the more relevant design patterns (i.e. artefact types, events and individuals). The latter are exemplified through relevant case studies in the domain, namely those of lighting artefacts, the life cycle of pottery and the several descriptions of Vaso de Tavira.authorsversionpublishe

linguistic and conceptual aspects

UIDB/03213/2020 UIDP/03213/2020This paper describes work carried out for the OntoAndalus project at NOVA CLUNL. This project aims at establishing the foundations for a terminological knowledge base (TKB) on Islamic archaeology. The main part of the work carried out so far is the development of an ontology of artefact types in al-Andalusian pottery studies, which was done by reusing the DOLCE+DnS Ultralite foundational ontology. Subsequently, Portuguese and Spanish terms for artefact types were extracted from a corpus of specialised texts and represented by means of lexical networks. The Lexicon Model for Ontologies (Lemon), recently developed by a W3C Community Group, was put forward as a promising framework for integrating language-specific and language-independent information in a future TKB on the domain. The possibility of aligning OntoAndalus with Lemon is also discussed in this paper.publishersversionpublishe

Acontecimentos Traumáticos, Sentimentos de Vergonha na Relação com os Sintomas Depressivos na Adolescência: estudo longitudinal

Introdução: As experiências adversas na infância, tal como a exposição a acontecimentos traumáticos e vivências de vergonha, podem ter um contributo importante na vida dos adolescentes moldando a forma estes se percecionam a si próprios e aos outros, e como lidam com as adversidades, podendo aumentar a sua vulnerabilidade para desenvolver uma perturbação depressiva. Este estudo, de desenho longitudinal, consistiu em estudar os factores preditores (acontecimentos de vida traumáticos e sentimentos de vergonha) no desenvolvimento de psicopatologia depressiva a seis meses. Método: A amostra é constituída por 325 adolescentes, com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 18 anos a frequentar o 3º ciclo do ensino básico e ensino secundário. Para o estudo das variáveis referidas, foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos de medida: o Child Depression Inventory, o Childhood Trauma Questionaire e a Escala de Vergonha Externa. Resultados: Os resultados obtidos relativamente à estabilidade absoluta das variáveis demonstram diferenças significativas entre os valores médios do 1ºmomento de avaliação e do 2º momento de avaliação (após 6 meses) para a variável vergonha. Ao longo do estudo, verificou-se uma associação positiva entre as variáveis relacionadas com o trauma e os sentimentos de vergonha avaliados no primeiro tempo (T1) e a variável sintomas depressivos (T2). O modelo de regressão linear múltipla, explicou 63% da variância dos sintomas depressivos no tempo 2, mostrando que o facto de pertencer ao sexo feminino, experienciar mais vivências de vergonha, e mais experiências traumáticas de abuso afetivo, abuso sexual e de negligência emocional permitem predizer mais sintomas depressivos na adolescência. Conclusão: Podemos concluir com a presente investigação, que o impacto de acontecimentos traumáticos, do tipo abuso/negligência, bem como de sentimentos de vergonha durante a fase da adolescência pode ser nocivo para o desenvolvimento harmonioso posterior, nomeadamente no desenvolvimento de sintomatologia depressiva. / Introduction: The adverse experiences in childhood, such as an exhibition of traumatic events and experiences of sham can have important contribution in teenager’s life shaping the way they perceive themselves and the others and how they deal with adversity, increasing their vulnerability to develop a depressive disorder. This study, longitudinal design, it was consisted in study of the predictive factors (traumatic life events and feelings of shame) in the development of depressive psychopathology in six months. Method: The sample consisted of 325 adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years attending the 3rd cycle of basic education and secondary education. To the study of the variables mentioned, the following measuring instruments were used: the Child Depression Inventory, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and External Shame Scale. Results: The results obtained regarding the absolute stability of the variables showed significant differences between the mean values of the evaluation 1st moment and 2nd moment of evaluation (after 6 months) for the variable shame. Throughout the study, there was a positive association between variables related to the trauma and feelings of shame evaluated at the first time (T1) and the variable depressive symptoms (T2). The multiple linear regression model explained 63% of variance in depressive symptoms at time 2 , showing that the fact of being female experience more shame experiences, and most traumatic experiences of emotional abuse, sexual abuse and emotional neglect permit predict more depressive symptoms in adolescence. Conclusion: We can conclude with this research, that the impact of traumatic events, the type abuse/neglect, as well as feelings of shame during adolescence can be harmful to the subsequent harmonious development, including the development of depressive symptoms

Water: A big market for SME

Small and medium enterprises (SME) represent the largest driving force of European development. SMEs have an important role in the Portuguese economy and it is relevant the research of SME in the water industry, given the challenges that this type of industry currently faces, at productivity level, growth and innovation applied, because they achieve lower results compared to larger companies, usually caused by legal obstacles, financial, administrative and bureaucratic, with the negative effects of the crisis, which led to the overall reduction of the total demand for their products and services, followed by worsening conditions of payment by customers and the lack of working capital. Methodologically was carried out the literature review, concepts, laws and regulations that contextualize the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and water industry. At second level, it will be developed an empirical analysis through a content analysis of SME as case studies that requires deeply understanding of them. Indeed, the Portuguese economy relies on the management of this strategic product (water), because its scarcity. However, this research can be used as a source for research on sustainability and projection SME in future, because this business will be a strategic industry, due to opposite relation between the rarity and the value of drinking water on the planet, as well as, the increase needs of the population. The authors defend the implementation of CSR strategies to get sustainable success of SME

QRS Detection Optimization in Stress Test Recordings Using Evolutionary Algorithms

QRS detection in exercise stress test recordings remains a challenging task because they are highly non-stationary and contaminated with noise. An algorithm to find the optimal set of parameters for QRS detection in these recordings is proposed. The performance improves up to 10.46 % in noisy recordings

extraction and representation of Portuguese and Spanish terms in the archaeology of al-Andalus

UID/LIN/03213/2019Cet article se concentre sur les termes des artefacts d’éclairage dans un corpus sur l’archéologie d’al-Andalus. Le but de ce travail est la création d’une ressource terminologique multilingue basée sur une ontologie. La connaissance du domaine est représentée par OntoAndalus, une ontologie OWL qui repose sur DOLCE + DnS Ultralite. Les informations spécifiques à la langue sont représentées par le modèle Lemon, le Modèle lexical pour les ontologies, lequel est en cours de développement par le W3C. Lemon permet la représentation d’informations grammaticales et sémantiques, notamment les relations lexicosémantiques entre les termes et sa référence aux éléments ontologiques dans OntoAndalus.publishersversionpublishe
