Clinical evaluation of automated capillary refill time estimation in dogs and cats
2019
In this study, we clinically evaluated a pulse oximeter-based device for automated capillary refill time (CRT) estimation in dogs and cats. CRT can reveal conditions like shock or anemia in dogs and cats. However, visual CRT estimation has low repeatability, and the available optical systems for automated estimation are not suitable for pets. We evaluated a custom-made portable CRT measuring device on various measurement sites of 12 dogs and 11 cats with parallel visual CRT estimation on the gum by treating veterinarian. The capillary refill was also recorded by a video camera for reference. The visual and video procedures were moderately correlated with the coefficient of 0.61; visual CRT …
The role of expert evaluation for microsleep detection
2015
Abstract Recently, it has been shown by overnight driving simulation studies that microsleep density is the only known sleepiness indicator which rapidly increases within a few seconds immediately before sleepiness related crashes. This indicator is based solely on EEG and EOG and subsequent adaptive pattern recognition. Accurate microsleep recognition is very important for the performance of this sleepiness indicator. The question is whether expensive evaluations of microsleep events by a) experts are necessary or b) non-experts provide sufficient evaluations. Based on 11,114 microsleep events in case a) and 12,787 in case b) recognition accuracies were investigated utilizing (i) artificia…
La costruzione del paesaggio ibleo: reti deboli, segni forti
2017
The contribution deals with the theme of the dry stone walls’ landscape which characterizes the rural “Koinè” of the Hyblean plateau in South-Eastern Sicily. The essay analyses the main political-economic, social-territorial, constructive and typological features which make the dry walls network the landmark of the Ragusa province. Because of the modification of the economic-cultural context that produced it, the loss of knowledge of the construction techniques and the lack of public resources, the definition of an axiology of the contemporary landscape as premise for the establishment of adequate terms of value for the safeguard of this heritage is required.
Próba implementacji techniki rysunku na dowolny temat na grunt praktyki pedagogicznej
2022
Rysunek na dowolny temat jest komunikatem symbolicznym i tak powinien być odczytywany. Służy temu analiza oparta na kryteriach oceny, które są płynne i zależne od intencji badacza. Rozumienie rysunku powinno przebiegać podobnie jak przebiega rozumienie wszystkich wytworów kultury duchowej człowieka. Podstawą rozumienia wytworów kultury jest interpretacja, polegająca na odczytywaniu znaczeń symboli obecnych w tradycji (mity, baśnie) i współczesnej kulturze dziecka (bajki, świat wirtualny, media). Jej celem jest poznanie i (z)rozumienie dziecka. W pracy pedagoga interpretacja rysunku dziecka polega na poszukiwaniu jego sensu poprzez odczytywanie znaczeń symboli występujących we wzajemnych pow…
Teachers and Students Surfing Together
2012
Several studies regarding the integration of audio-video conferencing and instant messaging in university and professional courses (Isaacs et al. 1994; Scholl et al.,2006) have revealed the importance of these two resources in enhancing interaction. Other studies (Boset al. 2001) have pinpointed that, in building trust, audio-video communication can reach the highest levels of effectiveness and liking (Schliemann, et al. 2002). Web-conference has made the web a powerful interactive tool, facilitating collaboration on joint projects and enabling the development of educational settings which lead to meaningful learning (Gillani, 2003). Such interactive modes in a blended-learning environment,…

Complex efficiency of sports facilities Multicriteria and financial analysis for swimming pools
2015
The multicriteria analysis aimed at verifying the complex efficiency of investment projects must necessarily take place even in a historical moment in which the evaluation criteria are primarily of a financial nature. Especially in the field of public works and those with civil purpose, the preservation of the social and environmental profiles remains essential. It is widespread in the bibliography of the 80s and 90s the presence of tools and methods to compare and prioritize analysis profiles resulting from conflicting interests. Combined use of multicriteria techniques (MAUT) and typically entrepreneurial approaches (DCF) can help to better interpret the phenomena under study and to prepa…
The Analyses of the Teacher’s Activities Facing with Efficiency
2008
The element of education has here a very important role not only regarding the aspect of quality of the act but in integrating the need of quality in the national culture. The individual’s conception has to assimilate the conviction that the welfare can not exist without a responsible and quality labor. Starting form this mission, it becomes obvious that the entire university’s activity should be oriented towards the institution’s competitiveness growth both at a national level and at the international level through: the quality of the offer and the result of the activity, a good management, a financial politic adequate to the rational use of the resources and of drawing new resources, to s…
