Designing for virtual mobility: Potentials and caveats
2019
This paper reflects on the joint pilot development and implementation of an international master level online course in Educational Design by three universities from different European countries. The pilot targeted curriculum internationalization and provision of international learning experiences to students with less mobility opportunities through online learning and use of technology. The key focus was on connecting students from different countries by collaborative learning and working on an authentic task in the professional domain of their study - educational media design - via a joint platform and digital media. In small international groups, students collaboratively developed mobile…
Modélisation des choix d'itinéraires pédestres en milieu urbain. Approche géographique et paysagère
2006
Nowadays, on foot journeys create renewed interest as a complementary mode of transport. Indeed, local decision makers appear as willing to reduce the imbalance between different ways of transport within the cities. In the field of Geography the term ‘mobility' refers to the practice of exchanges and movements done by individuals or groups of individuals; this mobility is likely to reveal the characteristics of places and to contribute to their alteration. Among all the modes of transport, walking implies a privileged relation between persons and area they live in. As an element of the living environment used on a daily basis and eventually integrated by the prism of perception the visible …
La migrazione studentesca dalla Laurea Triennale alla Laurea Magistrale
2017
In the last years, the Italian universities have experienced significant changes that involve the students and the universities' governance. Students' enrolment has decreased significantly especially after the economic crisis of 2008, while the students' migration from the South to the Central and Northern regions of the country has increased. This phenomenon has created further inequalities within the country and a cultural and socio-economic loss for the South. Important changes have pushed the universities also compete to attract students. Therefore, among the others, student migration is an issue that needs full consideration. In this paper, the attention is devoted to the First Level g…
Modélisation et simulation multi-agents de la dynamique urbaine : application à la mobilité résidentielle
2007
From a conceptual and methodological reflection about an effective association of system based cellular automata and multi-agents models, the simulation model VisualSimores was conceived in order to give even partially, a response concerning the impact of residential mobility in urban areas. According to the goal to develop a support system for urban planning, the major interest of this approach is to focus on the relationship between two separately observable phenomena: the residential mobility of household on one hand and the urban dynamics on the other hand. Then it becomes particularly important to identify the reasoning that helps to establish a correspondence between the demands of di…
Simple Rules for Complex Near-Glass-Transition Phenomena in Medium-Sized Schiff Bases
2022
Glass-forming ability is one of the most desired properties of organic compounds dedicated to optoelectronic applications. Therefore, finding general structure–property relationships and other rules governing vitrification and related near-glass-transition phenomena is a burning issue for numerous compound families, such as Schiff bases. Hence, we employ differential scanning calorimetry, broadband dielectric spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and quantum density functional theory calculations to investigate near-glass-transition phenomena, as well as ambient- and high-pressure molecular dynamics for two structurally related Schiff bases belonging to the family of glycine imino esters. Firstly…
Anàlisi de la mobilitat de l'estudiant universitari en el marc de l'Europa 2020 per al foment de l'ocupació i les competències genèriques. Un estudi …
2012
Aquesta investigació analitza la percepció de l'estudiant universitari sobre els beneficis de la mobilitat estudiantil en l'Espai Europeu d'Educació Superior. Especialment atenem a l'anàlisi de competències genèriques que puguin atorgar més possibilitats en la recerca d'ocupació. Per això, abordem un estudi de casos a la Universitat d'Oviedo des d'una metodologia quantitativa prenent com a referència els objectius marcats en la iniciativa Europa 2020. Les conclusions donen resultats molt positius en competències interdisciplinars per a la recerca de feina, com ara el domini idiomàtic, el coneixement de noves societats i dels entorns professionals.
MOVILIDAD, TENENCIA Y DEMANDA DE VIVIENDA EN ESPAÑA
2003
Mobility studies take into account that housing tenure has a high influencethrough transaction costs. If benefit of change is greater than costs, the household willchange their dwelling, if not the household stays even though their consumption is notthe optimum. Our aim is to analyse the behaviour of Spanish households that facemobility and tenure decisions, taking into account that they are endogenous given theclose relation between both: the tenure selected depends on the future decisionregarding mobility and expected future mobility depends on the present decision abouttenure. Together with these decisions, we will analyse factors that determine thehousing services demand for recent move…
Movimenti che disturbano lo spazio della narrazione. Micro-diario di un viaggio (im)possibile
2015
Il movimento converte lo spazio in narrazione, scrive Giuliana Bruno nel suo Atlante (Bruno 2006). Viceversa, come si inventa lo spazio narrativo di corpi continuamente controllati, bloccati e anestetizzati nel loro movimento? O il movimento è altro e dovremmo cominciare a distinguerlo dalla mobilità (Cresswell 2006)? Prima scena. È il 2 settembre 2015. Ho un biglietto in mano per un treno fantasma. Un cordone di agenti della polizia circonda la maestosa stazione Keleti di Budapest e, amareggiata, penso che sarà impossibile entrare per chiunque. Tanto meno prendere il mio treno per Vienna. Ricordate il 2 settembre 2015? Le televisioni d’Europa gracchiavano all’unisono: una grande sollevazio…
Kinematics of Cervical Spine during Rowing Ergometer at Different Stroke Rates in Young Rowers: A Pilot Study
2022
Background: Research on biomechanics in rowing has mostly focused on the lumbar spine. However, injuries can also affect other body segments. Thus, the aim of this pilot study was to explore any potential variations in the kinematics of the cervical spine during two different stroke rates on the rowing ergometer in young rowers. Methods: Twelve young rowers of regional or national level were recruited for the study. The experimental protocol consisted of two separate test sessions (i.e., a sequence of 10 consecutive strokes for each test session) at different stroke rates (i.e., 20 and 30 strokes/min) on an indoor rowing ergometer. Kinematics of the cervical spine was assessed using an iner…
Movescapes. Geografie del movimento fra spazio e rappresentazione
2013
This project has three main aims. First, it seeks to rethink space and spatiality from movement. To do this it follows some significant steps of philosophical tradition (Aristotle, Hegel, Heidegger, Merleau Ponty, Derrida, etc.) in an attempt to demonstrate the close relation between the movement of body and the production of space. No space would exist without an original movement producing it: the body comes out of himself, it spaces, and it is precisely in this dislocation that the spatiality is brought into being (Merleau Ponty). Bodies in motion produce space, but what happens if these bodies fall between the lines of a text or on the planes of a map? Can representational spaces hold t…
