Evaluation and bias in negative yes-no questions

Margarita Dimitrova(Margarita Dimitrova ) 경희대학교 언어정보연구소 2022 언어연구 Vol.39 No.3

The goal of the present work is to discuss the properties of negative yes-no questions capitalising on data from Bulgarian. Negative yes-no questions have traditionally been considered a case of expletive or pleonastic negation, i.e. the negation marker is void of negative content and does not contribute to the negative interpretation of the structure. In view of this property, given languages, like Bulgarian and other Slavic and Balkan languages, display an intriguing blocking of Negative Concord in yes-no questions (Dimitrova 2020a) which prevents the co-occurrence of the negation marker and n-words (Laka 1990). Rather, the negation marker is only compatible with positive indefinites underlying the speaker’s bias towards the positive value of the proposition (Ladd 1981). Considering the data from Bulgarian and building on some intriguing patterns between negative yes-no questions and given types of subjunctive main and embedded clauses (Giannakidou 2016; Dimitrova 2020b), we propose that the negation marker is not expletive but rather contributes to the expression of the speaker’s evaluations and kind of attitude, displaying a relation to the domain of nonveridicality (Giannakidou 1998; Yoon 2011).

Relativas especificativas : Mitos, realidad e implicaciones para la ensen~anza

Margarita Sun~er 서울大學校 스페인中南美硏究所 2004 이베로아메리카硏究 Vol.15 No.-

Parto de la suposicio´n que un entendimiento profundo de una estructura dada es indispensable para decidir el orden y los detalles en que se va a ensenar dicha estructura. Comienzo presentando los hechos sobre las relativas especificativas o restrictivas del espan~ol hablado basa´ndome en el corpus de Caracas-77 (1,446 relativas), para luego ofrecer algunas sugerencias pedago´gicas mientras apunto disparidades entre el corpus y las grama´ticas tradicionales/pedago´gicas. Un resultado importante es que el que escueto, el introductor ma´s frecuente de las especificativas, esta´ invadiendo el terreno de los verdaderos pronombres relativos. Esto ocurre en tres ocasiones principales: cuando se emplean preposiciones nulas en las especificativas preposicionales, cuando se ignora el rasgo [+humano], o cuando se recurre a la estrategia de retoma. En conclusio´n, el espan~ol prefiere las relativas con que siempre y cuando no se pierda informacio´n.

Wheel Angular Velocity Stabilization using Rough Encoder Data

Margarita Sotnikova,Evgeny Veremey,Natalia Zhabko 제어로봇시스템학회 2014 제어로봇시스템학회 국제학술대회 논문집 Vol.2014 No.10

The paper is devoted to the problem of wheel angular velocity stabilization using encoder data. The differential drive robot with four wheels is used as a mobile robot. The left wheels and right wheels are controlled separately. This allows robot to move forward or backward if we apply equal control signal for both sides’ wheels, or to turn left or right if the control for left and right wheels is different. It is well-known that for differential drive robots the robot wheels angular velocity is slightly different even if the same control input is applied for left and right wheels. This lead to the arc trajectories of the robot instead of straight lines. To overcome this problem it’s necessary to use some internal low-level controller for wheels angular velocity stabilization. In order to stabilize angular velocity we need estimation of its current value, which can be obtained using encoder data. The algorithm for angular velocity estimation and stabilization using rough encoder data is proposed. The simulation study and practical real-time implementation for a particular differential drive robot are presented using Matlab and Arduino environment.

Spanish Lexical Acquisition via Morpho-Semantic Constructive Derivational Morphology

( Margarita C. Gonzalez ) 한국언어정보학회 1996 국제 워크샵 Vol.1996 No.-

This paper describes an algorithm for Spanish derivational morphology whose output is generalizable to two different lexicon acquisition situations. One is the process of automatic lexicon acquisition via the use of Morpho-Semantic Lexical Rules (MSLRs), (Viegas, Gonzalez, & Longwell 1996) usable in semantically based Natural Language Processing(Nirenburg, et a1 1996) in order to considerably reduce acquisition time per entry in a large-scale semi-automatic acquisition environment (Viegas, Onyshkevych, Raskin, & Nirenhurg 1966b). The other is its application in the language classroom to fascilitate vocabulary acquisition for second language learning students. It is an ancillary tool to be used in reading or writing tasks. The constructive approach used in the design of this tool addresses the overlap between the morphological and semantic criteria while implicitly addressing morpho-phonological phenomena. The objective is accomplished by means of three major strategies: pre-categorized base stems. inherited stem changes, and eight separately identified patterns of attachment which produce noun, adjective, verb and adverb subsets. These mechanisms produce words depending on whether the word structure is right-headed or left-headed, based on the type of affix producing Morpho-Semantic Lexical Rules (MSLRs) used and on the sequence in which affix attachments succeed. The set of MSLRs, approximately 151, produces words with their respective semantic component for the morpheme or sequence of morphemes. thus defining each derivational paradigm. ``Their product includes not only simple and complex affixation but also word compounding, allow-ing also overgeneration of derived forms for broader coverage of written and oral word forms. Unnecessary overgeneration of output paradigms can be automatically checked against the contents of machine readable dictionaries and against electronic texts. The tool includes a Graphical User Interface (GUl) in order to facilitate the vocabulary acquisition process for the L2 learner of Spanish.

Factors associated with medication adherence of hypertensive patients in the Philippines: a systematic review

Margarita M. Gutierrez,Rungpetch Sakulbumrungsil 대한고혈압학회 2022 Clinical Hypertension Vol.28 No.1

Diseases of the heart and vascular system are the leading cause of mortality in the Philippines. Hypertension, the most important modifiable risk factor, has a prevalence rate of 28% and a control rate of 20%. Despite the proven efficacy of pharmacologic treatment, medication adherence is reported to be as low as 66%. While there are publications that reported factors that affect adherence in Filipinos, there are no existing research that evaluated them systematically. This review is conducted to present and synthesize findings of published literatures.Databases—PubMed, Scopus, Wiley Online library, Science Direct, JSTOR, Web of Science, SAGE journals, and Cochrane—were used to search for articles published from 2000 to 2020 that studied medication adherence in adult Filipino hypertensive population. Out of the initial 1514 articles, 15 articles met the criteria and were included in the analysis. The evidence from the included studies was summarized and discussed in a narrative review using the World Health Organization framework for adherence to long-term therapies as the framework.The factors that were positively associated with adherence were health care system-related factors: good patient-health provider relationship, accessibility of health services, use of specialty clinics and programs for hypertension, and health insurance. The factors found to be negatively associated with adherence are (1) social economic factors: younger age, single civil status, low educational attainment, and unemployment; (2) patient-related factors: low in health literacy and awareness, knowledge on hypertension, attitude towards hypertension, self-efficacy, and social support; (3) therapy-related factors: inconsistent drug regimen schedule, use of Thiazide and complementary and alternative medicines; (4) condition-related factors: low illness perception, and absence of comorbidities.Findings should be interpreted with caution because of methodological limitations. Despite this, given that health systems related factors are modifiable, they can be the focus of interventions and future researches to increase medication adherence. Clinicians may also want to screen their Filipino hypertensive patients for factors that are associated to low adherence in order to provide a tailored advice. Longitudinal research studies with heterogeneous samples of hypertensive Filipinos are imperative so that targeted interventions can be developed for the population.
