Bioaugmentācijas izmantošana farmācijas notekūdeņu attīrīšanas efektivitātes uzlabošanai
2015
Šajā darbā tika pētīta no farmācijas attīrīšanas iekārtām izdalītu, dabisku mikroorganismu spēja degradēt specifiskus farmakoloģijas savienojumus tīrkultūru veidā, kā arī bioaugmentācijas procesā simulētos reālos vide apstākļos. Izmantotās metodes ļauj salīdzinoši novērtēt mikroorganismu koncentrāciju un dinamiku vidē. Tika parādīts, ka mikroorganismu aktivitāte testa sistēmas apstākļos ir būtiski atšķirīga no in vitro. Konstatēts, ka bioaugmentācijas celmiem ir augsta izskalošanas pakāpe un ir nepieciešams veikt papildus pasākumus, lai to samazinātu. Ir grūti paredzēt pievienoto mikroorganismu efektu uz eksistējošo mikrofloru. Sēnei Gibberella indica ir augsts potenciāls tikt izmantotai fa…
Developing and Evaluating Educational Innovations for STEAM Education in Rapidly Changing Digital Technology Environments
2022
In this paper, we offer three examples from our research projects on both technological and pedagogical innovations to illustrate the impact of rapid technology changes on research. Members of our research team both developed and used technology applications in their research projects, utilizing design-based research (DBR). During the experiments, we encountered new challenges by the end of the research cycle due to updates in technologies. Although we had an idea of how to redesign the project for the next cycle based on the analyses of data, we noticed that we needed to not only redesign our approaches based on the research results but the changes in technologies were so rapid that materi…
Digital and Interactive Learning and Teaching Methods in Descriptive Geometry
2013
Abstract During the course of “Fundamentals and applications of Science of Representation - Geometric drawing” (held at the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Palermo) we successfully tested the adoption of informatics tools to enhance the comprehension and the critical analysis of complex figures in the geometrical space. The peculiarity in the teaching methodology was the adoption of interactive software products (Cabri Geometre and GeoGebra concerning dynamic and geometrical constructions; the well-known Rhinoceros plug-in, Grasshopper, about generating algorithms; Linceo regarding implementing the graphic display of complex solids in augmented reality). According to our experie…
When virtual and real worlds coexist: Visualization and visual system affect spatial performance in augmented reality
2021
New visualization approaches are being actively developed aiming to mitigate the effect of vergence-accommodation conflict in stereoscopic augmented reality; however, high interindividual variability in spatial performance makes it difficult to predict user gain. To address this issue, we investigated the effects of consistent and inconsistent binocular and focus cues on perceptual matching in the stereoscopic environment of augmented reality using a head-mounted display that was driven in multifocal and single focal plane modes. Participants matched the distance of a real object with images projected at three viewing distances, concordant with the display focal planes when driven in the mu…
On Augmented Reality for the Learning of 3D-Geometric Contents: A Preliminary Exploratory Study with 6-Grade Primary Students
2019
Nowadays, Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the emerging technologies with a greater impact in the Education field. Research has proved that AR-based activities improve the teaching and learning processes. Also, the use of this type of technology in classroom facilitates the understanding of contents from different areas as Arts, Mathematics or Science. In this work we propose an AR-based instruction in order to explore the benefits in a 6th-grade Primary course related to 3D-geometry shapes. This first experiment, designed from an exploratory approach, will shed light on new study variables to perform new implementations whose conclusions become more consistent. The results obtained allow u…
Coupling dynamic simulation and interactive multiobjective optimization for complex problems: An APROS-NIMBUS case study
2014
Dynamic process simulators for plant-wide process simulation and multiobjective optimization tools can be used by industries as a means to cut costs and enhance profitability. Specifically, dynamic process simulators are useful in the process plant design phase, as they provide several benefits such as savings in time and costs. On the other hand, multiobjective optimization tools are useful in obtaining the best possible process designs when multiple conflicting objectives are to be optimized simultaneously. Here we concentrate on interactive multiobjective optimization. When multiobjective optimization methods are used in process design, they need an access to dynamic process simulators, …

An Efficient Implementation of Parallel Parametric HRTF Models for Binaural Sound Synthesis in Mobile Multimedia
2020
The extended use of mobile multimedia devices in applications like gaming, 3D video and audio reproduction, immersive teleconferencing, or virtual and augmented reality, is demanding efficient algorithms and methodologies. All these applications require real-time spatial audio engines with the capability of dealing with intensive signal processing operations while facing a number of constraints related to computational cost, latency and energy consumption. Most mobile multimedia devices include a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) that is primarily used to accelerate video processing tasks, providing high computational capabilities due to its inherent parallel architecture. This paper describes…
Chasing writers’ ghosts through a modern city : Augmenting urban space with literary connections during the Tove Jansson walk in Helsinki
2019
The article employs the theme of a literary walk (Watson 2009), a practice of encountering places with literary associations on foot. Urban areas present especially suitable settings for such themed walks, as cities can have multiple literary connections, and literary places are located within a short distance from one another. In this paper, I focus on the sites associated with Tove Jansson (1914– 2001), a Finnish-Swedish artist and writer, internationally known for her books about the Moomins. The study utilises an autoethnographic approach and draws on observations at the sites with connections to Jansson in Helsinki, organised spatially into a walk around the city. I analyse how urban s…
Atbalstošo kumunikācijas metožu pielietošana pacientu aprūpē
2022
Bakalaura darba tēma: “Atbalstošo kumunikācijas metožu pielietošana pacientu aprūpē”. Ir zināms, ka pacientiem ar komunikācijas traucējumiem ir lielāks risks saņemt zemākas kvalitātes medicīnisko aprūpi, nekā pacientiem bez komunikācijas traucējumiem. Šie fakti norāda uz aprūpes komplicētību, taču pētījumu trūkums par atbalstošu komunikācijas metožu pielietošanu pacientu aprūpē aktualizē jautājumus par māsu saziņu ar pacientiem, kuriem ir komunikācijas traucējumi. Pētījuma mērķis : noskaidrot atbalstošo komunikāciju metožu pielietošanu pacientu aprūpē. Izvirzīti pētījuma jautājumi: Kādas atbalstošās komunikācijas metodes tiek pielietotas pacientu aprūpē? Kā māsas komunicē ar pacientiem, kur…
