PICTURES, GESTURES AND DISCOURSES: A CASE STUDY WITH KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS DISCOVERING LEGO BRICKS

The awareness of the importance to look, through a mathematical lens, to the children drawings, gestures and discourses, considering them as diagnostic tools for the mathematics competences, stays at the base of this contribution. It discusses a didactic experience conducted in a Kindergarten (students 5 or 6 years old) in which we asked children to represent and discus a Lego block with a drawing and speech, observed from different prospective. The discussed results seem to us interesting both for researchers in Mathematics Education and for Kindergarten teachers who want to deepen the role of drawing and gestures as an expressive and diagnostic forms to analyze students’ knowledge, abilit…

Semantic publishing as a tool in smart, self-protective critical infrastructure

2016

Semantic publishing as a semantic representation of publications makes articles machine-readable. It involves linking an article with another articles and external sources. Also, data provided along with the publication can be made machine-readable, which allows visualizing the data in different ways according to a reader’s needs. This kind of semantic technology deployed on physics domain can serve for improving interoperability in critical infrastructure as far as it includes such facilities as atomic power stations, atomic plants and local experimental atomic devices, experimental fusion reactors and demonstration fusion reactors among others. Having shared terminology and data represent…

AUGMENTED REALITY. THE CASE OF SALINAS MUSEUM OF PALERMO

2011

Already used in very specific areas such as in military and medical or academic research, in 2009 thanks to improved technology, augmented reality is to reach wider audiences and as information campaigns, advertising-augmented published in newspapers or on the network, and through a growing number of applications for mobile phones, particularly iPhone. "The Augmented Reality on the desktop computer is based on the use of markers, or ARtags, and stylized drawings, which are shown to the webcam, are recognized by the PC, and which are overlaid in real-time multimedia content: video, audio , 3D objects, etc.. Normally, applications of augmented reality are based on Adobe Flash technology and t…

Zasięg korporacyjnego upoważnienia aplikanta do zastępstwa

2023

Upoważnienie aplikanta do zastępstwa funkcjonuje od dawna. Jako że ma charakter tylko albo aż upoważnienia korporacyjnego, stąd też na tym tle jest ono różnie postrzegane. Do tego dochodzą dylematy w zakresie pełnienia przez profesjonalnego pełnomocnika funkcji kuratora, a także kwestia udzielenia upoważnienia do zastępstwa dla aplikanta czy nawet substytucji procesowej dla innego profesjonalnego pełnomocnika w osobie adwokata lub radcy prawnego. Wielość wątków z uwagi na szerokie spektrum aktywności aplikanta, co wiązać należy z odbywaną przez niego aplikacją adwokacką albo radcowską, pociąga za sobą konieczność umiejscowienia go w szeroko rozumianym wymiarze sprawiedliwości jako osoby qua…

De Stijl e l'architettura. L'Hotel particulièr, trascrizioni grafiche De Stijl and architecture. Hotel particulièr, graphic transcriptions

2016

Questo studio è un punto di vista sulle sperimentazioni condotte dal gruppo De Stijl sull’architettura attraverso l’analisi di un’opera mai realizzata, l’Hôtel particulièr progettato nel 1923 da Cornelis van Eesteren e Theo van Doesburg. Gli studi su De Stijl hanno già tracciato il percorso critico del movimento olandese ma questo lavoro vuole indagare un progetto che è rimasto, nella bibliografia esistente, nella fissità delle sue rappresentazioni e mai indagato attraverso lo strumento del disegno, atto interpretativo e critico dell’architettura che comprende, traduce e trascrive l’idea. This study is a point of view on experimentations made by De Stijl group about architecture through the…

Maternal representations and risk factors for depression in the migration process.

2013

During pregnancy and after childbirth women develop specific representations, expectations and fantasies about themselves and their children. Pregnancy involves both physical changes and relational and affective ones. The mother’s role is a culturally transmitted element that conveys values, myths and rules; birth can be considered as a cultural event with unique characteristics. A multi-factorial model is useful for tackling motherhood and depressive symptoms in migrant women, before and after delivery. The aim of this study is to analyse the motherhood experience in migrant women; data were collected during pregnancy and after delivery in order to evaluate maternal representation (IRMAG, …

A principled approach to network-based classification and data representation

2013

Measures of similarity are fundamental in pattern recognition and data mining. Typically the Euclidean metric is used in this context, weighting all variables equally and therefore assuming equal relevance, which is very rare in real applications. In contrast, given an estimate of a conditional density function, the Fisher information calculated in primary data space implicitly measures the relevance of variables in a principled way by reference to auxiliary data such as class labels. This paper proposes a framework that uses a distance metric based on Fisher information to construct similarity networks that achieve a more informative and principled representation of data. The framework ena…

Innovative modelling techniques in computer vision

1996

Abstract The paper is concerned with two of main research activities currently carried on at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence lab of DIE. The first part deals with hybrid artificial vision models, intended to provide object recognition and classification capabilities to an autonomous intelligen system. In this framework, a system recovering 3-D shape information from grey-level images of a scene, building a geometric representation of the scene in terms of superquadrics at the geometric level, and reasoning about the scene at the symbolic level is described. In the second part, attention is focused on automatic indexing of image databases. JACOB, a prototypal system allowing…

The United Nations and the European Union

2019

The European Union (EU) and the United Nations (UN) are expressions of a rules-based global order. The EU has enshrined support to the UN in its security strategies, and its priorities indicate an engagement in a wide range of UN programs and activities to maintain the rules-based order and adapt it to face internal and external challenges. The EU and its member states are the largest contributors to the UN budget. Following the adoption of the Lisbon treaty, the EU has increased its representation at the UN, gaining enhanced observer status in the General Assembly. However, because of the intergovernmental nature of the forum, only its member states have the right to vote. This has led sch…

Emotions, Motives, Individuals, and Cultures in Interaction

2016

Cognitive aspects of the human mind form the foundations of solving usability problems. However, being able to use a technology is not the only critical psychological question in the design of successful HTI. In addition to understanding users’ capabilities, it is equally important to comprehend their preferences and what they want to accomplish with the help of technologies. Knowledge of the dynamic mind—in particular human emotions, motives, and personality—helps address such ‘liking and wanting’ concerns in HTI design.
