This paper proposes to conceive of the cultural models of psychological autonomy and hierarchical relatedness as cultural scripts that direct the socialization of offspring generations. The earliest social experiences in the natural environment during the first months of infants' life are considered to organize consequent developmental tasks and their achievements. Our considerations are based ...

Distributional measures of semantic relatedness determine word similarity based on how frequently a pair of words appear in the same contexts. A typical method is to construct a word-context matrix, then re-weight it using some measure of association, and finally take the vector distance as a measure of similarity. This has largely been an unsupervised process, but in recent years more work has...

The measurement of semantic relatedness between two words is an important metric for many natural language processing applications. In this paper, we present a novel approach for measuring semantic relatedness that is based on a weighted semantic network. This approach explores the use of a lexicon, semantic relation types as weights, and word definitions as a basis to calculate semantic relate...

The paper presents an application of information content based metrics to compute semantic relatedness of word senses in German. The main contributions are: an annotation study based on a revised definition of semantic relatedness beyond synonymy, an extension of Resnik’s (1995) procedure for computing information content of concepts for strongly inflected languages, an application of informati...

Wikipedia provides an enormous amount of background knowledge to reason about the semantic relatedness between two entities. We propose Wikipedia-based Distributional Semantics for Entity Relatedness (DiSER), which represents the semantics of an entity by its distribution in the high dimensional concept space derived from Wikipedia. DiSER measures the semantic relatedness between two entities b...

A. (2012). Urban high-school girls sense of relatedness and their engagement in physical education. A sense of relatedness is individuals' views about themselves as connected to others and worthy of love and respect from others. Using the Self-System Model of Motivational Development as the framework, this study was designed to examine associations of urban high-school girls' relatedness toward...

Knowledge of relatedness between pairs of individuals plays an important role in many research areas including evolutionary biology, quantitative genetics, and conservation. Pairwise relatedness estimation methods based on genetic data from highly variable molecular markers are now used extensively as a substitute for pedigrees. Although the sampling variance of the estimators has been intensiv...

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in the perceptions of self-determination theory-based constructs such as the psychological needs support from the teacher and one’s peers, perceived satisfaction of the needs for competence, autonomy, relatedness, as well as different types of motivation in physical education among students with different organized afterschool sport exper...

The recall factor is low when keywords are used to retrieve information, and many related documents are omitted. Semantic annotation is used to comment documents to improve the recall factor. While extremely large instances querying requirements may crash ABox reasoner. In this research, a method is proposed to improve the efficiency of semantic retrieving via combining ABox reasoning and datab...

The estimation of quantitative genetic parameters in wild populations is generally limited by the accuracy and completeness of the available pedigree information. Using relatedness at genomewide markers can potentially remove this limitation and lead to less biased and more precise estimates. We estimated heritability, maternal genetic effects and genetic correlations for body size traits in an...
