De todas las formas gramaticales, el verbo es el de más difícil uso para quien no habla español. Para quien lo habla, el error es de gramática elemental, que lo cometen personas de educación completa, profesionales de áreas diversas, pero en quienes más se nota, es cuando lo usan profesores, periodistas, parlamentarios y sobre todo entre los diplomáticos extranjeros. Es fácil percatarse de eso, cuando diplomáticos que hablan otros idiomas, son entrevistados.

Para explicar porqué "hubo" y "no hubieron", hay que comprometerse con la gramática. Veamos los siguientes ejemplos. Un espectador de fútbol dice: "hubieron faltas que el árbitro no cobró" o "hubieron muchas tarjetas amarillas". Se olvida o se ignora, que en los casos citados el verbo "haber" significando existir, es unipersonal y no debe concordarse con el sustantivo que lo acompaña. Las dos oraciones del ejemplo no tienen sujeto y lo que parece serlo, son en realidad complementos directos, "faltas", en el primer caso, "varias tarjetas amarillas", en el segundo. En tales situaciones, sólo se conjuga el verbo "haber" en la tercera persona del singular. Lo correcto, en consecuencia, es decir: "no hubo faltas" y "hubo varias tarjetas amarillas". Por analogía o por extensión, esto alcanza a otras formas donde el verbo "haber", está presente. Por ejemplo, se debe decir "había habitaciones" y no "habían habitaciones"; "ha habido muchos casos" y no "han habido muchos casos" o "habrá invitados" y no "habrán invitados". Siempre la tercera persona del singular.

La pregunta del millón. ¿Qué pasa con "hubieron"? ¿No existe? Sí, existe. Y si existe ¿cuándo se usa? Pues, cuando el verbo "haber" no está usado como unipersonal, sino en construcción conjunta con otro verbo. Por ejemplo, "ellos hubieron de correr cuando les llegó la hora". En este ejemplo, "haber no es unipersonal, hecho que se demuestra con la presencia del pronombre personal "ellos". Sería absurdo decir "ellos hubo de correr cuando les llegó la hora". No es difícil hablar o escribir con propiedad, si nos proponemos hacerlo, sobre todo cuando es verbo, "la palabra" por excelencia.

Cuando comencé este blog por el año 2008, me propuse encontrar y compartir información valiosa para nosotros, los traductores junior, y por eso siempre tomé como referencia a muchos profesionales con más experiencia en esta profesión.

Uno de ellos es Miguel Llorens, el traductor financiero, que con su inteligencia y sarcasmo me resonaba un poco al Dr. House de la traducción.

Miguel es, tiempo presente, porque las personas que dejan huellas profundas, en algunos o no tanto en otros, no se van. Su energía deambula en los pensamientos de aquellos que mascullando sobre algún tema traductoril percibe el roce ligero de su impresión.

Por eso nos encontraremos a la vuelta de la esquina o de algún término enrevesado.

(Belga) Le conseil communal de la Ville de Charleroi a adopté lundi une motion faisant de Charleroi "une ville antifasciste" et consacrant l'existence d'une "coalition antifasciste" composée des partis politiques carolos, des syndicats, d'associations et de membres de la société civile.

Cette "coalition antifasciste" est le fruit de discussions entamées dans un contexte de montée générale des idées d'extrême droite et à la suite des incidents qui sont survenus le 25 janvier 2020 à Charleroi à l'occasion d'une mobilisation d'un front antifasciste contre la tenue dans la métropole d'une réunion d'un nouveau parti d'extrême droite. Ce jour-là, selon les manifestants antifascistes, la police avait fait usage contre eux de sprays, d'autopompes et de coups de matraques même pour les disperser. Ce qui avait provoqué un certain émoi, y compris au sein de la classe politique carolo. La motion donne à la coalition antifasciste quelques objectifs généraux, comme celui "d'empêcher par tous les moyens légaux la diffusion de propos incitant à la haine, au racisme, à l'antisémitisme, au sexisme, à la discrimination relative à l'orientation sexuelle, ouvertement fasciste et xénophobe, sur le territoire de Charleroi" ou celui de relayer l'information "lorsqu'elle concerne un événement susceptible d'inciter à la haine, au racisme, à l'antisémitisme, au sexisme, ouvertement fasciste et xénophobe".

Action recognition plays a vital role in analysing human body behaviour and has significant implications for research and education. However, traditional recognition methods often suffer from issues such as inaccurate time and spatial feature vectors. Therefore, this study addresses the problem of inaccurate recognition of aerobic gymnastics action image data and proposes a visualised three-dimensional convolutional neural network algorithm-based action recognition model. This model incorporates unsupervised visualisation methods into the traditional network and enhances data recognition capabilities through the introduction of a random noise perturbation enhancement algorithm. The research results indicate that the data augmented with noise perturbation achieves the lowest mean square error, reducing the error value from 0.3352 to 0.3095. The use of unsupervised visualisation analysis enables clearer recognition of human actions, and the algorithm model is capable of accurately recognising aerobic movements. Compared to traditional algorithms, the new algorithm exhibits higher recognition accuracy and superior performance.

In the perspective of institutional theory, business education is an institutional field, in which two major institutional forces are accreditations and rankings. In this context, French business schools (BS) have adopted an isomorphic response by starting to engage in research and publishing in academic journals. Studies have discussed their research as a new institutional trajectory. However, what remains unknown is how they differ from each other in such research dynamics. To bring new insights to the discussion, this quantitative study examines, over the period of 2008-2018, the evolution of research of French BS by systematically comparing the 'best' schools with other schools in all analyses. The results indicate a strong isomorphism in terms of publication quantity and productivity, scale of research collaboration and the internationalisation of research. However, these schools are heterogeneous in terms research quality and scale of international research collaboration, reflecting the diversity in their research strategy.

One of our recent associated partners, the EU project GLOBIS-B has published its first paper: "Towards global interoperability for supporting biodiversity research on essential biodiversity variables (EBVs)". You can find the article here.

Abstract: 

Essential biodiversity variables (EBVs) have been proposed by the Group on Earth Observations Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) to identify a minimum set of essential measurements that are required for studying, monitoring and reporting biodiversity and ecosystem change. Despite the initial conceptualisation, however, the practical implementation of EBVs remains challenging. There is much discussion about the concept and implementation of EBVs: which variables are meaningful; which data are needed and available; at which spatial, temporal and topical scales can EBVs be calculated; and how sensitive are EBVs to variations in underlying data? To advance scientific progress in implementing EBVs we propose that both scientists and research infrastructure operators need to cooperate globally to serve and process the essential large datasets for calculating EBVs. We introduce GLOBIS-B (GLOBal Infrastructures for Supporting Biodiversity research), a global cooperation funded by the Horizon 2020 research and innovation framework programme of the European Commission. The main aim of GLOBIS-B is to bring together biodiversity scientists, global research infrastructure operators and legal interoperability experts to identify the research needs and infrastructure services underpinning the concept of EBVs. The project will facilitate the multi-lateral cooperation of biodiversity research infrastructures worldwide and identify the required primary data, analysis tools, methodologies and legal and technical bottlenecks to develop an agenda for research and infrastructure development to compute EBVs. This requires development of standards, protocols and workflows that are ‘self-documenting’ and openly shared to allow the discovery and analysis of data across large spatial extents and different temporal resolutions. The interoperability of existing biodiversity research infrastructures will be crucial for integrating the necessary biodiversity data to calculate EBVs, and to advance our ability to assess progress towards the Aichi targets for 2020 of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
