“Normalitātes paredzamās lūzuma vietas” no tā dēvētās Y paaudzes perspektīvas, par piemēru ņemot Jana Oles Gerstera filmu “Oh Boy” un Jura Poškus “Ko…
2016
Bakalaura darba tēma ir normalitātes paredzamās lūzuma vietas no Y paaudzes perspektīvas par piemēru ņemot filmu Oh Boy un Kolka Cool. Bakalaura darba ietvaros tiek aplūkots kā tiek definētas paaudzes, to raksturojums un arī Jūrgena Linka normālisma teorija. Jūrgens Links pēta dažādus procesus un sabiedrības struktūras, pētot kā tieši tiek noteiktas normalitātes robežas aiz kurām sākas anormalitāte un kādi faktori ir noteicošie šo robežu nopraušanā. Normālisma teorija tiek pielietota analizējot filmas Oh Boy un Kolka Cool scēnas, mēģinot noteikt kā tajās tiek producēta normalitāte, kā arī Y paudzes perspektīvu, salīdzinot ar citām paaudzēm, par pamatu ņemot paaudžu teoriju un to raksturojum…
Positive Turn in Elder-Care Workers' Views Toward Telecare Robots.
2022
AbstractRobots have been slowly but steadily introduced to welfare sectors. Our previous observations based on a large-scale survey study on Finnish elder-care workers in 2016 showed that while robots were perceived to be useful in certain telecare tasks, using robots may also prove to be incompatible with the care workers’ personal values. The current study presents the second wave of the survey data from 2020, with the same respondents (N = 190), and shows how these views have changed for the positive, including higher expectations of telecare robotization and decreased concerns over care robots’ compatibility with personal values. In a longitudinal analysis (Phase 1), the positive change…

Proportions in Salvatore Caronia Roberti Between Theory and Practice
2022
AbstractIn 1949 Salvatore Caronia Roberti published the volume Introduzione allo studio della composizione architettonica. It is a compendium of his own studies and research came together in his architecture, testifying to the close interweaving of theory and practice. Caronia Roberti was a student of Ernesto Basile, one of the leading exponents of Art Nouveau, a style in which proportions played a marginal place. He later broke away from the Master’s school to attempt a new path in which geometry and proportion constitute the core of his theoretical research. This study aims to highlights the organic nature of Caronia Roberti’s thought, between architectural history and representation, by …
A social humanoid robot as a playfellow for vocabulary enhancement
2018
We introduce a system that exploits a Pepper humanoid robot acting as a playfellow in a word-play game. The robot can play a portmanteau game by directly interacting with children, and it exploits a conversation engine, a portmanteau creation engine, and a definition engine. The humanoid can play the role of either an answerer or a generator of new words.
Portmanteau Word-Play for Vocabulary Enhancement with Humanoid Robot Support
2018
Word-play is as powerful learning and motivation tool often used by educators for teaching the ability of reading, which is a complex activity. In this paper, we introduce a system that exploits a Pepper humanoid robot acting as a playfellow in a word-play game based on portmanteau words. The robot shows the ability to play with children using a conversation engine, a portmanteau creation engine, and a definition engine. In this manner, Pepper can integrate itself within a group of kids, and it can support a teacher in her activities. The humanoid can be involved in a word-based round-game in which it can play the role of either answerer or generator of new words.
Modeling a non-stationary bots’ arrival process at an e-commerce Web site
2017
Abstract The paper concerns the issue of modeling and generating a representative Web workload for Web server performance evaluation through simulation experiments. Web traffic analysis has been done from two decades, usually based on Web server log data. However, while the character of the overall Web traffic has been extensively studied and modeled, relatively few studies have been devoted to the analysis of Web traffic generated by Internet robots (Web bots). Moreover, the overwhelming majority of studies concern the traffic on non e-commerce websites. In this paper we address the problem of modeling a realistic arrival process of bots’ requests on an e-commerce Web server. Based on real…
Efficient on-the-fly Web bot detection
2021
Abstract A large fraction of traffic on present-day Web servers is generated by bots — intelligent agents able to traverse the Web and execute various advanced tasks. Since bots’ activity may raise concerns about server security and performance, many studies have investigated traffic features discriminating bots from human visitors and developed methods for automated traffic classification. Very few previous works, however, aim at identifying bots on-the-fly, trying to classify active sessions as early as possible. This paper proposes a novel method for binary classification of streams of Web server requests in order to label each active session as “bot” or “human”. A machine learning appro…
Time series clustering with different distance measures to tell Web bots and humans apart
2022
The paper deals with the problem of differentiating Web sessions of bots and human users by observing some characteristics of their traffic at the Web server input. We propose an approach to cluster bots’ and humans’ sessions represented as time series. First, sessions are expressed as sequences of HTTP requests coming to the server at specific timestamps; then, they are pre-preprocessed to form time series of limited length. Time series are clustered and the clustering performance is evaluated in terms of the ability to partition bots and humans into separate clusters. The proposed approach is applied to real server log data and validated with the use of different time series distance meas…
