Publicación orientada tanto a los alumnos que se enfrentan con un primer curso de estadística en disciplinas más de corte social y humanístico que científico como a quellos que al cabo del tiempo necesitan un repaso o puesta a punto. Los contenidos tienen que ver con la estadística descriptiva, con psicometría y con una selección de métodos de análisis que permiten dar respuesta a muchas preguntas de investigación.
La Estadística constituye actualmente un instrumento esencial en el estudio de los fenómenos sociales. Su correcto aprendizaje y su uso riguroso es fundamental para la interpretación y la elaboración de conclusiones válidas en estudios realizados en los ámbitos económicos, sociológicos, educativos o jurídicos. Este manual se ha elaborado para proporcionar a los estudiantes de los grados de la rama de Ciencias Sociales y Jurídicas un primer contacto con la Estadística Descriptiva y es fruto de la experiencia docente de los autores en dichos grados. María Dolores Molina, Julio Mulero, María José Nueda y Aurora Pascual son profesores del Departamento de Estadística e Investigación Operativa de la Universidad de Alicante.
The two-volume set LNAI 10061 and 10062 constitutes the proceedings of the 15th Mexican International Conference on Artificial Intelligence, MICAI 2016, held in Cancún, Mexico, in October 2016. The total of 86 papers presented in these two volumes was carefully reviewed and selected from 238 submissions. The contributions were organized in the following topical sections: Part I: natural language processing; social networks and opinion mining; fuzzy logic; time series analysis and forecasting; planning and scheduling; image processing and computer vision; robotics. Part II: general; reasoning and multi-agent systems; neural networks and deep learning; evolutionary algorithms; machine learning; classification and clustering; optimization; data mining; graph-based algorithms; and intelligent learning environments.
This handbook offers a broad-ranging overview of the study of translating and interpreting in conflict and crisis settings and takes the field in new directions. Covering a wide selection of multimodal contexts that build on the fundamentals of translation, interpreting, and their in-between hybrid forms of mediation, the handbook is divided into four parts. The opening part covers perspectives on policy and practices, whether contemporary or historical, and cases truly span the globe, from Peru and Brazil, over Belgium and Sierra Leone, to Australia, Japan, and Hong Kong. International developments require profound considerations about the professionalisation of access to language in times of crises, not least in contexts of humanitarian negotiation or conflict zone interpreting–these form the second part. The subsequent part deals with spheres of community in which language needs are positioned within frames of agency, positionality, and trust, and the challenges that these face. The contributions build on cases where interpreters act as catalysts for translation needs in settings of humanitarian aid and beyond. The final part considers language strategies and solutions in crises. This handbook is the essential guide to translation and interpreting in conflict and crisis settings for advanced students and researchers of translation and interpreting studies and will be of wide interest in peace studies, political science, and beyond.
