Balenciaga, the Master of Haute Couture

2020

This chapter deals with Balenciaga, a brand that carries the name of the designer known as “The Master of Haute Couture”, one of the most revered and influential fashion designers of the twentieth century. Characterized by sculptural quality, deft manipulation of textiles, and dramatic use of color and texture, Balenciaga creations are inspired by works of art and become works of art themselves through overlapping forms and genres. In this way, artification turns an elitist–but still commercial product—into a hybrid that acquires aesthetic and symbolic value and restores that aura lost due to production logics. Following this perspective, the main contribution of the chapter is to highlight…

Objectives and Work Plan

2012

The objective of this PhD thesis was the development of fast and sensitive methods for the characterization of vegetable oils according to their botanical origin, and for the characterization and authentication of olive oils in relation to their quality, genetic variety and geographical origin. For this purpose, oils selected considering each and every one of the factors discussed in the introduction section will be used.

Biometric sensors rapid prototyping on field-programmable gate arrays

2015

AbstractBiometric user authentication in large-scale distributed systems involves passive scanners and networked workstations and databases for user data acquisition, processing, and encryption. Unfortunately, traditional biometric authentication systems are prone to several attacks, such as Replay Attacks, Communication Attacks, and Database Attacks. Embedded biometric sensors overcome security limits of conventional software recognition systems, hiding its common attack points. The availability of mature reconfigurable hardware technology, such as field-programmable gate arrays, allows the developers to design and prototype the whole embedded biometric sensors. In this work, two strong an…

Authentication and authorization security solution for the internet of thing

2021

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents the interconnection between the Internet and physical objects, places and environments. However, this extensive connectivity of IoT can be hampered by malicious interventions from cyber attackers. Thus, ensuring security for users and IoT devices remains a challenge, especially authentication and authorization, which are essential building blocks of the security process. This is due to the unconventional IoT characteristics, including scalability, heterogeneity, interoperability, and dynamic changes, which make the existing security measures inadequate. Indeed, these characteristics bring up several security requirements to consider when defining a se…

The use of YouTube in English lessons in Finnish lower secondary schools

2014

Teknologian kehittyessä ja uusien laitteiden ja tapojen ilmestyessä myös kouluihin, avartuvat luokkahuoneissakin käytettävät opetusmahdollisuudet. Tietokone löytyy nykyään melkein joka luokasta, ja internet-yhteys on monella oppitunnilla käytössä. Yksi internetin suosituimmista palveluista tällä hetkellä sosiaalisen median saralla on YouTube, videoiden jakamis- ja katsomispalvelu, jota käyttävät jo miljoonat ihmiset. Tämän tutkielman tavoitteena on selvittää YouTuben käyttöä suomalaisissa yläkouluissa englannin kielen oppitunneilla, ja varsinkin sitä, mihin tarkoitukseen YouTubea tunneilla käytetään, ja minkälaisia aktiviteetteja sen käyttöön liitetään. Tutkielma kertoo myös miksi juuri tie…

: The medical FASP genre as a teaching tool: authentic or doctored material?

2011

Abstract: This article falls within the scope of an action-based research project conducted at the Dijon School of Medicine. It focuses on the medical FASP genre as a potential pedagogical tool From December 2009 to April 2010, I asked 10 experienced health care professionals from various fields of medical practice, who had obtained an inter-university diploma in medical English, to fill in a questionnaire. The participants, who did not know the titles of the novels or the names of the novelists, were required to comment on six medically-based extracts taken from thrillers during continuing education classes. The aim of the questionnaire was to check the relevance of the specialized vocabul…

Application Development from Prototype to Beta : A Case Study of the Application SeafarerCV

2018

Master's thesis Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - University of Agder 2018 When the prototype of a software product is completed and approved, development of a betaready resource is often the natural step toward a future final release. This process contains many steps that may prove vital to the eventual success or downfall of a future product. Technologies must be chosen, design methodologies must be followed, and care must be given to provide the final product with a solid foundation to build upon. This thesis follows such a development process for the development of resources for beta-testing. This process, as well as the human centered design approaches, and the resulting re…

Experiencing Authenticity at Alvar Aalto’s Experimental House

2021

Experiences of authenticity are studied at Alvar Aalto’s Experimental House – today a modern house museum – which has gone through renovations and changes. Visitors were interviewed to find out how they feel about the authenticity of the place, if the changes affect their experience of authenticity, and if they share the same opinions. A review of the literature on the concept of authenticity is carried out and its implications for museum contexts is considered, and then the research questions are answered by analysing 30 interviews of visitors to the Experimental House.
