Video projection mapping e arti performative. Una nuova macchina scenotecnica della visione per generare nuovi spazi aumentati
L’oggetto principale della dissertazione è il video projection mapping, un’applicazione di realtà aumentata che utilizza le tecniche di videoproiezione digitale non su tradizionali schermi di proiezione ma sulla realtà stessa, sugli oggetti fisici, ai quali si adatta e si lega in maniera inestricabile, ibridando il livello fisico-reale e il livello digitale. Al contrario di come spesso è stato considerato, il video projection mapping non è solo un gadget tecnologico dei nostri tempi; quando si ibrida con altri media, come le arti performative, diviene linguaggio metaforico, oltrepassando il suo livello tecnologico per produrre significati, per mediare idee. Considerando il suo uso nello spe…
Aktywność sołectw wspierających rozwój społeczny w ramach Programu Odnowy Wsi w latach 2013-2015
2018
Odnowa wsi jako metoda rozwoju stanowi jeden ze sposobów osiągania celów rozwojowych, rozumianych nie tylko w kontekście poprawy jakości infrastruktury, ale poprawy szeroko rozumianej jakości życia, której nie osiągniemy bez zaangażowania samych mieszkańców. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie Programu Odnowy Wsi (na przykładzie województwa opolskiego) jako elementu przyczyniającego się do rozwoju kapitału społecznego, czego wyrazem może być liczba przedsięwzięć realizowanych przez poszczególne sołectwa. Zostały przeanalizowane sprawozdania sołectw (około 600 rocznie) z realizacji programu w latach 2013-2015. Podstawową metodą prezentacji wyników badań jest analiza opisowa z użyciem metod il…

Sysmä Community Currency: An Analysis of its Success from the Perspectives of Purposes, Stakeholders and Promotion
2019
Artikkeli on tapaustutkimus paikallisrahajärjestelmästä, jota kokeiltiin äskettäin maalaisympäristössä Sysmän kunnassa. Paikallisraha on yksi innovaatiivisista aloitteista, joita kunta on tehnyt tällä vuosituhannella torjuakseen jo 1960-luvulta alkaen käynnissä ollutta väestökatoa. Tässä artikkelissa tutkitaan paikallisrahan käynnistysvaihetta siihen sisältyneiden ristiriitojen näkökulmasta. Artikkelissa todetaan, että järjestelmä kärsi epäselvästä tavoitteenasettelusta, ja että eri osallisilla oli tavoittesta vaihtelevia ja ristiriitaisia käsityksiä. Paikallisrahan sosiaalista hyväksyntää heikensivät päätös rajoittaa rahaa vastaanottavien yritysten joukko kunnassa kirjoilla oleviin yrityks…
Analysis of the Potential of an Increase in Yeast Output Resulting from the Application of Additional Process Wastewater in the Evaporator Station
2019
This paper reports the results of an analysis of process wastewater streams in the context of an increase in yeast production. This research is based on the analysis of data from the biggest yeast factory in Europe. The research presented in this paper involves the analysis of the influence of direction of additional wastewater into the evaporator station on yeast production. In the process wastewater, nitrogen is mainly present in organic forms. The analysis reported in this paper involves the concentration of total nitrogen in wastewater streams, as it is the main parameter applied to determine the amount of wastewater that can be applied in agricultural fields. Directing additional waste…
Is Broad the New Deep in Environmental Ethics? A Comparison of Broad Ecological Justice and Deep Ecology
2016
I argue in this article that a theory of broad ecological justice or the extended capabilities approach, an interesting approach in contemporary environmental ethics, shares many of its core ideas with deep ecology and Arne Næss’s ecosophy T. The similarities between these approaches include the ambition to address the roots of environmental problems, emphasis on recognition and the criticism of oppressive structures, and a systemic orientation. Acknowledging these similarities illustrates the contemporary value of the deep ecology movement. It also helps to develop the theory of broad ecological justice further, especially in terms of bridging the gap between movements and theoretical disc…
Changes in the Use Intention of Digital Wellness Technologies and Its Antecedents Over Time : The Use of Physical Activity Logger Applications Among …
2021
Physical inactivity has become a prevalent problem among elderly people. Although digital wellness technologies have been proposed as one promising solution to it, our understanding on the antecedents of the acceptance and use of these technologies among elderly people remains limited. In this study, our objective is to promote this understanding by examining the potential changes in the use intention of digital wellness technologies and its antecedents over time in the case of the young elderly segment and physical activity logger applications. We base this examination theoretically on UTAUT2 and empirically on survey data that is collected from 99 Finnish young elderly users of a physical…
A Follow-Up On The Changes in the Changes in the Use Intention of Digital Wellness Technologies and Its Antecedents Over Time : The Use of Physical A…
2021
This study aims to further promote the understanding of the antecedents of the acceptance and use of digital wellness technologies among elderly people through a follow-up to our two prior studies, one which examines the potential longer-term temporal changes in the use intention of digital wellness technologies and its antecedents in the case of the young elderly segment and physical activity logger applications. We base this examination theoretically on UTAUT2 and empirically on survey data that is collected from 92 Finnish young elderly users of a physical activity logger application in three subsequent time points and analysed with partial least squares structural equation modelling (PL…
Applying UTAUT2 to Explain the Use of Physical Activity Logger Applications Among Young Elderly
2020
Digital wellness technologies have been proposed as a promising way to promote the levels of physical activity and to solve the prevalent problem of physical inactivity among elderly people. In this study, we propose and test a research model for explaining the acceptance and use of these technologies in the case of the young elderly segment (people aged 60–75 years) and physical activity logger applications. The proposed model is theoretically founded on UTAUT2, and it is empirically tested by using the data collected from 115 Finnish young elderly users of a physical activity logger application and analysed with partial least squares based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). We find …
