LifeRescue Software Prototype for Supporting Emergency Responders During Fire Emergency Response: A Usability and User Requirements Evaluation
2017
For an efficient emergency response, emergency responders (ERs) should exchange information with one another to obtain an adequate understanding and common operational picture of the emergency situation. Despite the current developments on information systems, many ERs are unable to get access to the relevant information as the data is heterogeneous and distributed at different places and due to security and privacy barriers. As a result, ERs are unable to coordinate well and to make good decisions. Therefore, to overcome these difficulties, a web-based application called LifeRescue was developed for supporting easy information access during emergency search and rescue operation. The goal o…
Data Banks and Multivariate Statistics in Physical Anthropology
1984
In recent decades, the fields of administration and economy, the press and - last but not least - the sciences have been characterized by an “explosion of knowledge”, and, as a consequence, by the problem of managing the rapidly increasing mass of information. It has been estimated that knowledge doubles each five years, and even that the interval of doubling seems to decrease. The main response to this challenge are computerized and structured data collections called data banks. “Data banks are systems of data collections which are organized according to logical and/or formal criteria; they should make it possible to reproduce the data of the total collection arranged according to differen…
De independencias, guerras, pueblos e Hispanidad : ecos del NO-DO
2012
El tratamiento que NO-DO da de estos dos acontecimientos -la Guerra de la Independencia y las independencias de las colonias latinoamericanas- es desigual, travestido e interesado. Ambos se envuelven en una retórica ritualista y ceremonial que sella las fechas a todo aire histórico y las entrega a la monótona repetición de una liturgia. Sin embargo, mientras la primera, a pesar de su inscripción en una retórica nacionalista, heroica y eterna, resulta incómoda al noticiario, probablemente por su asociación con el liberalismo, la modernidad y la escisión de España, la segunda es tan recurrente como mistificada. Las antiguas colonias del Nuevo Mundo serán tratadas desde el estrecho prisma de l…
Graduate of Riga Polytechnic Institute, Engineer and Athlete Mārtiņš Stabiņš
2020
The aim of the article is to reveal the performance of Mārtiņš Stabiņš, a graduate of the Faculty of Automation and Computer Technology (1972; FACT) of Riga Polytechnic Institute (RPI), in the profession of engineer and high achievements in sports, becoming a Latvian champion in athletics several times, to reveal his daily life during his study years in the 1960s–1970s. Despite the fact that M. Stabiņš’ sports achievements have already described, this article summarizes his successes as well as reveals hitherto little-known and unpublished documents about his family, daily life, developments and interests. This is the first major research on the life of an engineer and athlete during seven …
Designing Classroom Practices for Teaching Online Inquiry : Experiences from the Field
2021
Students face several challenges when asked to locate relevant and credible information from the internet. This article introduces three principles for designing online inquiry lessons and documents what we learned from five language arts teachers from Finland who implemented and provided feedback on a learning unit framed in those design principles. Teachers implemented a researcher-designed online inquiry unit in nine upper secondary school classrooms. The unit included four 75-minute lessons sequenced to support the location, evaluation, and synthesis of information students encountered in an online inquiry task. Teachers’ diaries revealed their impressions of the unit, problems encounte…
Viaggi nell’immaginario: il turismo virtuale nel sito UNESCO di Tarragona
2023
Le nuove tecnologie hanno trasformato in modo radicale non solo la geografia come disciplina, ma anche le geografie del mondo. Il digitale ha assunto, infatti, un ruolo di mediazione sempre più pervasivo nella produzione dello spazio, come delle conoscenze e degli immaginari geografici. Le possibilità offerte dal virtuale, in particolare, offrono oggi un contributo decisivo nella comunicazione dei significati attribuiti ai luoghi e rispondono in modo sempre più efficace ai bisogni emergenti del settore turistico. Le esperienze di visita mediate dal digitale mirano a coinvolgere i sensi e risultano efficaci quando promuovono immersioni rigorosamente realistiche. Nel quadro di queste riflessi…
Cultural institutions as agents of urban and community regeneration in the (post-)pandemic city. The case of the «Laboratorio Zen Insieme» in Palermo
2022
Although all cities in the world have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, its impacts on the territories, yet to be understood, are unevenly distributed, revealing extremely varied imbalances depending on the places. However, it is clear that the virus and its variants have aggravated pre-existing socio-spatial inequalities, creating new ones and bringing attention back to those implications between space, planning, public health and citizenship that are at the origins of contemporary urbanism. In a reference framework in which the crisis is globalized but unequal and in the absence of a welfare system capable of responding to the urgencies of the most marginalized social contexts and g…
Datos abiertos de investigación. Camino recorrido y cuestiones pendientes
2017
[ES]: Los aspectos profesionales y técnicos de la gestión de datos de investigación han avanzado, por ejemplo las infraestructuras tecnológicas o los esquemas de metadatos de descripción. Sin embargo, otras cuestiones siguen necesitando ser investigadas, y más ahora en que los datos han de estar disponibles en abierto. Este trabajo efectúa una revisión bibliográfica y de sitios web de referencia que permite identificar los últimos avances producidos y las tendencias de investigación en temas relacionados con los datos científicos. La publicación de datos en revistas, el estudio del comportamiento de los autores o los métodos para medir el impacto de los datos son aspectos que necesitan ser …
Étude expérimentale de l'usage des organisateurs para-linguistiques de mise en retrait dans les documents électroniques
1997
This paper deals with what is called here paralinguistic organizers i.e. textual devices like underlining, brackets, footnotes, and, on screen, pop up fields,... In the frame of the theory of discourse comprehension (van Dijk & Kintsch, 1983) it is proposed to view technical texts as tools, more or less efficient, that readers use to build their representation (situation model). It is known that the schematic superstructure of a text can significantly enhance its comprehension and memorization. It is assumed here that another kind of text structure could play a similar role i.e. the structure based on the main points / secondary points distinction. More generally a text can be viewed as a s…
