“Is there any sugar in bread?” A qualitative video analysis of student activating learning tasks in Home Economics
2021
The Norwegian Food and Health (FH) school subject aims to develop students' ability to understand the association between diet and health. Research on FH in Norway indicates that the main focus today is on cooking and the development of practical cooking skills, leaving little emphasis on activities related to the more theoretical aspects of the curriculum. To increase students’ knowledge and skills regarding nutrition and health, we aimed to evaluate three newly developed student-activating learning tasks. Three 6th grade FH classes in Southern Norway participated. Audio and video recording of the learning tasks were used to evaluate the activities. Also, data from focus group discussions …
Measuring trunk orientation with a CMOS camera: feasibility and accuracy.
2007
International audience; The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a new tool to objectively quantify trunk orientation at the bedside, especially dedicated to the measurement of the lateropulsion in acute and subacute stroke patients. We developed software to analyze 2D movement with a CMOS camera (Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000) and to calculate the orientation of a segment defined by two color markers. First, the accuracy, reproducibility and noise when measuring segment orientations were evaluated with the CMOS camera placed in different positions, and second trunk orientation was measured in static and in dynamic conditions both with a CMOS camera and with a gold standard 3D vid…
Experiencing Commercial Videos for Online Shopping
2018
In recent years online shopping has become a popular and convenient instrument for companies to buy and sell products. However, the design of these web-shops does not offer the rich multisensory experiences than physical retailing offers. In the paper we argue that audio-visual contents could provide dynamic multisensory information to offer more engaging experiences to the consumer, but to achieve this goal, audio-visual contents need to be adjusted to the cultural characteristics of the users. Despite controversies regarding universalism of the emotional experiences induced by perceptual processes, we present evidence that suggests cultural modulations of videos experiences. In the report…
Depth-Aware Multi-object Tracking in Spherical Videos
2022
This paper deals with the multi-object tracking (MOT) problem in videos acquired by 360-degree cameras. Targets are tracked by a frame-by-frame association strategy. At each frame, candidate targets are detected by a pre-trained state-of-the-art deep model. Associations to the targets known till the previous frame are found by solving a data association problem considering the locations of the targets in the scene. In case of a missing detection, a Kalman filter is used to track the target. Differently than works at the state-of-the-art, the proposed tracker considers the depth of the targets in the scene. The distance of the targets from the camera can be estimated by geometrical facts pec…
Video Viewing Patterns Using Different Teaching Treatments: A Case Study Using YouTube Analytics
2019
Aquest estudi explora els patrons de visualització de 17 vídeos en un context tradicional daprenentatge i en un context de classe invertida per 723 estudiants de negocis cursant un mòdul relacionat amb . Mentre recerques anteriors s?han centrat principalment en resultats (per exemple, satisfacció/resultats dels alumnes), en aquest estudi l?enfocament recau en com la natura de les interaccions del estudiants amb el vídeos por determinar-se mitjançant un anàlisi profund de les dades analítiques. Els nostres resultats mostren menys interacció amb els vídeos en el context de la classe invertida que en el de la classe tradicional. De la mateixa manera, mostren un ús més elevat dels vídeos com a …
Subjective Evaluation of Video on Demand Systems Using Different Network Connections
2009
Nowadays, society makes use of new technologies as they appear. Due to this boom, the use of resources via web is increasing notably. In of training and education cases, companies such as universities are offering tele-learning platforms to complement and facilitate the learning process. Some of these called e-learning platforms can have explanatory videos as a resource for training. For the codification of these videos, we have to use parameters which provide a trade-off between the video sizes to be transmitted that optimize bandwidth and video and audio quality. This paper presents a subjective study of the video quality on transmission depending on the types of users’ network access to …
Factors psicosocials rellevants en la violència de preadolescents i adolescents escolaritzats
2010
A pesar de la considerable evidència acumulada sobre els efectes de la violència en els mitjans, encara hi ha controvèrsia sobre el tema. La comunitat científica debat la influència de la TV i els videojocs en el comportament dels subjectes (vid. Kids, TV viewing, andaggressivebehavior, Science (Letters) 297, 49-50, 2002). Aquells que s'oposen al fet que la TV i els videojocs tenen influència sobre el comportament agressiu, defensen que la causalitat no es pot establir tan fàcilment, ja que als individus violents els agradarà més veure actes agressius en TV i que estiguen presents en els videojocs. En l'actual estudi realitzat amb escolars preadolescents i adolescents 'amb una grandària de …
Trattamento laparoscopico del Mielolipoma surrenalico: caso clinico e revisione della letteratura.
2006
Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign, non-functioning tumor consisting of fat and hematopoietic tissues. In January 2005 we had observed an adrenal myelolipoma in 70 year old man. During the follow-up for bladder urothelioma, an abdominal CT revaled a well delineated 4x4 cm homogeneous fatty mass in the right suprarenal area with negative attenuation values. The functional study of adrenal gland was normal. The patient underwent videolaparoscopic right adrenalectomy (Gagner technique). Postoperative course was uneventful. The istological diagnosis showed adrenal myelolipoma. We conclude that videolaparoscopic adrenalectomy should be considered the gold standard treatment for benign adrenal …
Neural-level associations of non-verbal pragmatic comprehension in young Finnish autistic adults
2021
This video-based study examines the pragmatic non-verbal comprehension skills and corresponding neural-level findings in young Finnish autistic adults, and controls. Items from the Assessment Battery of Communication (ABaCo) were chosen to evaluate the comprehension of non-verbal communication. Inter-subject correlation (ISC) analysis of the functional magnetic resonance imaging data was used to reveal the synchrony of brain activation across participants during the viewing of pragmatically complex scenes of ABaCo videos. The results showed a significant difference between the ISC maps of the autistic and control groups in tasks involving the comprehension of non-verbal communication, there…
Correlation of " in vivo" microcirculation and degeneration of the basal cells of the epithelium in lingual lichen planus
2010
Background: Oral lichen planus is an inflammatory chronic disease with an autimmune pathogenesis and unknown etiology that affects oral mucosa, with or without the involvement of the skin and other mucous membranes. The principal histological characteristics are the degeneration of the basal cell layer and the abnormal infiltration of inflammatory cells into the subepithelial layer of connective tissue. Objectives: This study is aimed to appraise if lingual lichen planus (LLP) is sustained by alteration of the oral microcirculation and if this abnormal vascularisation increases the degeneration of basal keratinocytes and the disruption of the basement membrane. Materials and Methods: Fiftee…
