A cultural heritage experience for visually impaired people

2020

Abstract In recent years, we have assisted to an impressive advance of computer vision algorithms, based on image processing and artificial intelligence. Among the many applications of computer vision, in this paper we investigate on the potential impact for enhancing the cultural and physical accessibility of cultural heritage sites. By using a common smartphone as a mediation instrument with the environment, we demonstrate how convolutional networks can be trained for recognizing monuments in the surroundings of the users, thus enabling the possibility of accessing contents associated to the monument itself, or new forms of fruition for visually impaired people. Moreover, computer vision …

The influence of English film media on the Finnish language : The role of English in Finnish film magazine Episodi (2008)

2009

Nykyään median vaikutus on suuri ympäri maailmaa; kuuntelemme radiota, luemme lehtiä, katselemme televisiota ja elokuvia. Mediaa onkin tutkittu paljon viime aikoina. Tutkimuksissa on enimmäkseen tarkasteltu median hyvää tai huonoa vaikutusta sen yleisöön. Näistä tutkimuksista vain muutamassa on kuitenkaan analysoitu median käyttämää kieltä. Median keskeisen aseman lisäksi mediasta on myös tullut kielenoppimisen vaikutuksellisin väline, josta etenkin englannin kieltä opitaan. Tutkimusta kaivattaisiinkin lisää analysoimaan, miten eri mediat vaikuttavat kieliin. Tässä tutkielmassani olen pyrkinyt analysoimaan, miten englannin kielen vaikutusvaltainen elokuvateollisuus on vaikuttanut suomalaist…

A Revised Short Form of the Extended Class Play Among Italian Early Adolescents

2019

Among the measures assessing peer reputation, the Extended Class Play (ECP) is now used extensively in North American settings. Little information is available in other cultural contexts. Furthermore, practical considerations suggest developing a shorter form of the ECP to be used in socio-educational environments. This study examined the ECP dimensions of peer assessment in Italy as well as developed a shorter form of the measure. We revised the ECP using factor analyses according to an explorative-confirmatory approach. The original 37-item ECP was shortened to a 22-item version and, subsequently, the properties of the revised measure were evaluated. We performed two studies comprising, r…

Pot ser positiu, l'estrès? Recerca de la proporció òptima entre la percepció positiva i negativa de l'estrès

2010

L'objectiu d'aquest treball és reflexionar sobre el nou rumb que s'ha iniciat en la investigació sobre l'estrès laboral. S'hi posa de manifest l'existència d'una proporció de «positivitat» en la percepció de l'estrès que pot afectar la «florida», la síndrome d'esgotament professional i la implicació en el treball. En aquesta relació, la cultura hi pot tenir un paper fonamental.

Folklorystyczny aspekt współczesnych narracji potocznych

2020

Zainteresowanie folklorystyki współczesnymi narracjami potocznymi wynika z przedefiniowania przedmiotu badań folklorystycznych. Uznanie folkloru za część kultury, która podlega takim samym przemianom jak cała kultura i jest zjawiskiem społecznie oraz historycznie zróżnicowanym, wymaga doprecyzowania podstawowych pojęć: oralności, kontekstu kulturowego, sytuacji folklorotwórczej, procesu odbioru przekazywanych treści. Oralności nie można bowiem sprowadzać tylko do ustnego (bezpośredniego) sposobu przekazywania treści, ponieważ jest ona także sposobem egzystencji człowieka, poznawania i rozumienia świata. Należy zatem dokładnie przeanalizować zmiany zachodzące w przestrzeni społeczno-kulturow…

A Navigation and Augmented Reality System for Visually Impaired People

2021

In recent years, we have assisted with an impressive advance in augmented reality systems and computer vision algorithms, based on image processing and artificial intelligence. Thanks to these technologies, mainstream smartphones are able to estimate their own motion in 3D space with high accuracy. In this paper, we exploit such technologies to support the autonomous mobility of people with visual disabilities, identifying pre-defined virtual paths and providing context information, reducing the distance between the digital and real worlds. In particular, we present ARIANNA+, an extension of ARIANNA, a system explicitly designed for visually impaired people for indoor and outdoor localizati…
