Correspondence Analysis

European voters can be classified into different groups according to the Political Group of the European Parliament the MEP they have voted for is attached to. In the first part of the paper we build clusters of EU countries according to the distribution of the country MEPs to the Political Groups. We find two large clusters of memberstates. One of the two large clusters includes countries from the central and northern Europe and the other cluster includes countries from southern Europe. In the second part of the paper we study the social characteristics of the voters in each political group. Using a series of socio-structural variables, (i.e. subjective social class, education level, standard of living, and religiosity), from the PIREDEU voter survey data, we try to describe the social profile of the voters in each group. Then we study the social profiles of the voters in each group in these two large clusters of EU countries. There are political groups that display strong associat...

This study is an anatomical study designed to benefit surgeons working in the region of the maxillary sinus. This paper investigates ethnic and gender variations in the shape of the maxillary sinus in dried crania from the Raymond Dart collection of human skeletons. The paper claims that an estimate of the area of the medial antral wall of the maxillary sinus is one of the best ethnic/gender group predictors. Helical, multislice computed tomography was performed using 1mm coronal slices length, depth, width and volume measurements for each sinus were taken. Classification by shape and estimated area of medial wall was attempted. Shape classification was found to be unsuccessful whilst medial wall classification into ethnic/gender groupings gave encouraging results. The area of the medial wall is related to ethnic/gender groups.

For poets Elizabeth Bishop and Gabriela Mistral, the potential of Portuguese saudade was an answer to the crises of alienation and identity they faced as exiles. Drawing upon their poetry, correspondence, and translations of Lusophone literature, this paper examines how, by engaging with this foreign concept, both queer women poets living outside of their respective homelands engaged with their own senses of isolation and unhomeliness. Describing the potential of saudade in an endnote to the section titled "Saudade" in Tala, her third volume of poetry first published in 1938, Mistral states "I firmly believe, with Stefan George, in a future of borrowing language to language in Latin America. At least, in the case of certain words, clear achievements of the genius of each language, unshakable expressions within their range of 'true' words" (2003 p. 244). Both poets turned to this word as they were reconciling the heteronormative forces displacing them within their homelands. Ultimately, Bishop and Mistral mobilize the notion to address the traumas of displacement, loss, and sexual difference as they explore the 'truth' and nuance of the word through their writings.

Violence in Roman warfare is certainly not a myth. But until recently, historians have understood violence in terms of their own standards instead of considering the thresholds of Roman sensibilities. Within the framework of the “histoire des representations”, a discussion is made about the discourses that underly the violence in Roman warfare. We aim to reassess the methodological basis of such an analysis by close observation of its vocabulary. By scrutinizing the appearance of the terms uis and βία, we undermine their traditional relevance in war contexts. Then, we apply methods of correspondence analysis on the example of Latin verbs for killing. It reveals their meaning and stresses the strengths and flaws of text analytics, still not much employed in ancient history. In the end, returning to the texts and their contexts is necessary to qualify and refine this technique.

La violence de Rome à la guerre n’est certes pas un mythe. Mais, jusqu’à très récemment, les historiens l’ont davantage évaluée à l’aune de leurs propres normes qu’ils n’ont abordé la question des seuils de sensibilités proprement romains en la matière. Dans le cadre d’une histoire des représentations, l’étude de la violence guerrière romaine implique par conséquent un examen des discours qui la sous-tendent. Cet article a ainsi pour ambition de repenser les fondements méthodologiques d’une telle analyse à travers l’observation serrée du vocabulaire de la violence guerrière. Un examen complet des contextes d’apparition des termes uis et βία permet de relativiser leur pertinence en contexte guerrier. Dès lors, le recours à d’autres méthodes est nécessaire. À travers l’exemple des verbes latins signifiant l’action de tuer, on entend montrer les atouts et les limites de l’analyse factorielle des correspondances, branche de la statistique textuelle encore peu mobilisée en histoire ancienne. Enfin, un retour aux textes et à leurs contextes est une démarche nécessaire afin de nuancer et d’affiner cette technique.

Following the question posed by Maria Hermínia Laurel in her excellent article entitled « Lectures d'écrivains : 'vision du monde' et référents littéraires dans la correspondance d'Alice Rivaz » (2010), we propose to question the auctorial constructions that conceal Alice Rivaz's correspondence. Swiss author of the French language, she multiplies the constructions of a self-author not only in her literary work, which she will sign with a pen name, but also in her prolific correspondence with three contemporary Swiss authors, which we propose to study here. Résumé : Faisant suite au questionnement posé par Maria Herminia Laurel dans son excellent article intitulé « Lectures d'écrivains : 'vision du monde' et référents litté-raires dans la correspondance d'Alice Rivaz » (2010), nous nous proposons d'interroger les constructions auctoriales que recèlent les correspondances d'Alice Rivaz. Auteure suisse de la langue française, elle démultiplie les constructions d'un soi-auteure non seulement dans son oeuvre littéraire, qu'elle signera d'un nom de plume, mais aussi dans sa prolifique correspondance avec trois auteurs suisses contemporains, que nous proposons d'étudier ici.

Con la muerte de Franco, se abrió la posibilidad de retorno para una pléyade de militantes libertarios dispersos entre Europa y América. Aunque la situación de España y el anhelo de retorno marcaron las experiencias vitales de los anarquistas que habían vivido la Guerra Civil, el destierro fue demasiado largo y en el momento de hacer las maletas la decisión resultó mucho más difícil de lo que podría preverse. Esta comunicación se centra en la biografía de tres libertarios históricos, de trayectorias diferentes durante el exilio, que sí se decidieron a retornar: Diego Abad de Santillán, José Peirats y Ramón Álvarez. Con ello, queremos hacer frente a un ámbito olvidado por la historiografía del anarquismo durante la Transición, que se ha limitado a señalar la existencia de un choque generacional de estos libertarios con las nuevas hornadas de militantes en la Península, sin profundizar en el proceso. Nuestro abordaje se centrará en fuentes personales para componer la vivencia personal del retorno.

Günümüzde kurumsal faaliyetler sonucu üretilen belgelerin önemli bir bölümünü yazışmalar oluşturmaktadır. Önemli miktarda üretilen yazışmalar, kurumlarda kurumsal işlerin aksamasına, işgücünün zayıflamasına ve işlem maliyetinin artmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle gerek üretildikleri kurum bünyesinde gerekse devredildikleri arşivlerde yazışmaların üretilmesi, kullanılması, dosyalanması, ayıklanması, korunması ve düzenlenmesine yönelik işlemlerin kontrol altına alınması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada belge yönetiminin önemli bir unsuru olan yazışma yönetiminin kurum ve kuruluşlarda ve arşivlerde belgelerin üretimi, kullanımı, korunması ve düzenlenmesi işlemlerine olan yansımaları genel olarak değerlendirilerek ülkemizdeki durum ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Abstract Today, correspondings emerge one of the most important part of records produced as results of institutional activities. While the quantity of records is exponentially increasing, it causes additional employee and cost at the same time. Therefore, written Giriş: Son yıllarda bilgisayar teknolojisinin kurum ve kuruluşlarda yoğun olarak kullanılmasıyla birlikte belge üretiminde ve kayıtlı belge sayısında büyük artışlar olmuştur. Belge üretim miktarında meydana gelen artış, verilen hizmetin maliyetini artırmakta, belge erişimine yönelik işlemlerde karışıklıklara ve belgelerin niteliksiz olarak üretilmesine

Ein weiterer Zug seiner Originalität liegt in der Art, wie er deutsche und französische Kultur verarbeitet und zusammenführt. Ich wüßte keinen Kritiker in Europa, der mit derselben Sympathie und demselben Verständnis über Madame de Noailles und Simmel, über Marcel Proust und Max Scheler zu schreiben vermöchte.

This book offers one of the first empirical studies of change in Irish English in the period 1700-1900, during which Ireland became overwhelmingly English-speaking. Using data from a corpus of emigrant letters, the aim of the book is to fully exploit available written evidence for earlier Irish English in order to empirically trace the use of various linguistic features in different historical contexts and over time. The studies presented in the book are based on the analysis of data contained in CORIECOR, the Corpus of Irish English Correspondence, which provides larger amounts of more vernacular data from a longer timespan than hitherto possible. The book analyses features that to date have remained neglected in the literature on Irish English and it discusses how the survival of the pragmatic mode has resulted in the preservation of certain Irish English features. The volume deals, for example, with discourse-pragmatic markers such as sure, so, like and anyway/anyhow, deictic forms such as adverbials (here, there, this, and that) and pronominal forms (with a focus on we), and embedded inversion. The value of this type of material for linguistic analysis is highlighted throughout the volume.

The book focuses on Irish English, an important contributor to many overseas varieties of English.

Readers will receive a thorough study of historical Irish English data derived from corpus-analytic approaches. They will be able to use it for independent study or as part of taught classes. The book will appeal to academics and postgraduate students working in the areas of Varieties of English, English as a World language, English as an International Language, Dialectology, English Language history, Corpus Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Pragmatics, Discourse Analysis, etc. Historians (particularly those interested in Irish Studies, Emigration, Family History, New World history etc.) will also find valuable material in the book.

A book of this type will also be useful in third level education teaching, as part of complementary reading lists in modules related to Varieties of English around the World, History of English, Irish History (and Irish Studies) and History of Migration. Irish secondary school teachers should also find it interesting as a complement to their teaching of Irish History.

The biogeography of Antarctic demosponges has been studied by dividing Antarctic and circumantarctic areas into geographic entities, and then assigning to these entities all recorded species according to literature reports. Correspondence analysis ordination based on the presence or absence of species shows the existence of a distinct Antarctic Faunistic Complex (AFC), including continental Antarctica, most of the Antarctic and circumantarctic islands and the Magellan area. Such a result has enabled us to drawup a checklist of 352 Antarctic demosponge species. Investigation of within-AFC patterns indicates that the continent is a highly homogeneous area, establishing closer relationships with the Scotia Arc and to a lesser extent with the Magellan region. The AFC has low specific affinities with the other circumantarctic regions (South Africa, temperate Australia and New Zealand), whereas at the generic level relationships appear more pronounced. This biogeographic pattern may lead us to suppose a common Gondwanian origin for Antarctic and circumantarctic sponge faunas, followed by differentiation due to Gondwana fragmentation. Antarctica moved towards polar latitudes and became progressively isolated, only maintaining active interchanges with South America. Climatic changes possibly induced intense processes of speciation in the Antarctic demosponge fauna, thus contributing to its differentiation.

Face validity is a controversial kind of test validity. Personality tests are divided into two big categories: projective techniques and psychometric instruments. They differ also for face validity, which influences the perception that people have of tests themselves. The article reports the scientific debate on face validity, and the results of a study carried out on naive subjects in order

Este capítulo analisa a produção acadêmica recente da Sociologia Política brasileira. Para isso, avaliamos um conjunto de 739 artigos publicados em seis periódicos acadêmicos nacionais num intervalo de cinco anos (2013 a 2017) para identificar algumas características dessa produção: se seus autores se reconhecem (ou não) como pertencentes a essa perspectiva; que tipo de temas são preferencialmente estudados atualmente; qual o perfil de gênero dessa produção; que estratégia metodológica utilizam em suas análises, se quantitativa, qualitativa ou ambas e, por fim, quem são os autores do ponto de vista de sua filiação institucional e titulação, ambas no momento da publicação do artigo, de sua formação universitária e carreira acadêmica.

Dallo studio delle relazioni che intercorrono fra i Gonzaga duchi di Mantova e la casata degli Asburgo attraverso la consultazione del carteggio fra le due corti, si individuano alcune lettere di inizio Seicento nelle quali l’imperatore Rodolfo II chiede con insistenza a Vincenzo I Gonzaga l’invio del disegno del giardino “posto sopra le volte”. Perché mai questo giardino - identificabile probabilmente con il giardino pensile di Palazzo Ducale - risulta di tale interesse per l’imperatore? L’indagine mossa a partire dai documenti contenuti nelle Banche dati Gonzaga digitali mette a fuoco le caratteristiche e le vicende del giardino pensile, spostandosi poi a Praga: qui il fruttuoso confronto con studiosi austriaci e cechi approfondisce il quadro delle opere che, in quel momento, si stanno portando avanti sul castello imperiale, chiarendo le ragioni dell’interesse di Rodolfo II nei confronti dell’architettura gonzaghesca, identificata come modello di riferimento.

First part of my presentation on the life of poet Adrien Juvigny (1849-1873), followed by an analysis of the literary, historical and philosophical models used by Paul and Félix Bourget, Adrien Juvigny and Georges Hérelle to refer to male to male love in their letters to each other between 1869 and 1873. This unpublished correspondence is currently being edited in preparation for publication, scheduled for 224 by Classiques Garnier (Paris).

In this paper some letters of a distinguished woman author Milica Janković addressed to her publisher from Sarajevo, Isidor Đurđević, are analized and published for the first time. The correcpondence is used as a research method for data collecting, trevealing the details of the author's life, unpublished original works and translations, thoughts on literature and literature market, society... When comparing to the bussines letters of another significant woman author of the time, Jelena J.Dimitrijević, Janković's bussines letters have the same direct and straightforward rhetoric. She percieved herself as a competent mediator bewteen her literary works and a market. She proposed all of her deals as objective evaluations. Unlike some of her private letters addressed to her friend, she wrote to Isidor  Đurđević in a kind and cordial way however keeping the professional distance.  Thus her written communication offers a wide range of information helping the reconstruction of her gender identity.

Blockchain technologies are predicted to substantially transform the tourism industry. At present, cryptocurrencies are the most advanced application of public blockchains that promise benefits such as a universal means of payment and minimal fees through the removal of intermediaries. In the tourism industry, though many tourism vendors have been accepting cryptocurrencies and the potential of using cryptocurrencies in travel-related consumption has been intensively documented, existing knowledge about travelers’ intention to use cryptocurrencies for payment purposes is limited. Traditional models do not account for the idiosyncrasies of cryptocurrencies and are therefore less appropriate to foster the understanding of travelers’ adoption of travel-related payments. To fill this knowledge gap, an exploratory study was conducted with 161 travelers from the Asia-Pacific region who have previously consumed travel-related services with cryptocurrencies. Their previous usage experiences are analyzed and reported. Through harnessing the correspondence analysis, several technological contingency factors were identified, as well as positive and negative perceptual antecedents. Additionally, their levels of satisfaction and intention to re-use the technology in future trips were investigated. Based on these findings, several propositions are suggested for guiding future research on travelers’ cryptocurrency adoption in the travel and tourism contexts.

Notre intérêt pour une  l'amitié intellectuelle entre Condorcet et Sieyès repose sur le souci de mesurer l'ampleur de leur débat philosophique investi dans la politique, et des divergences qui s'y expriment, sans a priori sur leurs qualités intellectuelles respectives  Plus largement,  il a pour origine notre  publication  des principaux manuscrits philosophiques de Sieyès au sein d’une édition de ses manuscrits en deux volumes sous la responsabilité de Christine Fauré chez Champion.

There are many personal pronouns in Japanese, and we use them in our daily lives depending on our position and relationship with others. How characters in games use personal pronouns is also determined by the various attributes that each character possesses. This study examines the correlation between the two in otome games released between 2017 and 2021. The study used correspondence analysis to examine the attributes of the main male characters and the patterns of personal pronouns they used, based on a crosstabulation table created from data for approximately 500 characters. Comparing the results with those for characters in women's novels published during the same period, we found that there were significantly more personal pronouns used in otome games than in novels, and that personal pronouns with the same sound but different kanji and kana spellings were independently influenced by character attributes.
