Minimalism for the Win : User-Centered Design for Guidance in Industrial Maintenance
2022
Background: We conducted an exploratory study to test the delivery of technical instructions built on the principles of minimalism. The aim was to investigate how we could support target users’ skill levels in a context-sensitive manner. Literature review: Related work examines minimalism, user needs and profiling, and industrial maintenance and technician experience. Research questions: 1. How can the semantic structure of DITA XML be utilized in delivering technical information to users based on their skill levels? 2. How would a layered system of information support the principles of minimalism? Methodology: We created material and tested the concept in user studies with maintenance pers…
Iäisyydestä aikaan, ajasta iäisyyteen : evoluutio ja siihen liittyvät temporaaliset narratiivit Sun Yatsenin poliittisessa argumentaatiossa
2008
Tutkimuksen tarkoitus on analysoida Kiinan ensimmäisenä presidenttinä toimineen Sun Yatsenin ajan retoriikkaa. Keskityn erityisesti Sunin tapaan käyttää evoluutio-käsitettä argumentaationsa apuna ja tähän evoluutio-käsitteeseen liittyviin ajallisiin narratiiveihin. Tutkimuksen ensisijaisena aineistona on Sunin tunnetuin teos Kansan kolme periaatetta. Olen lisäksi analysoinut myös muita kysymyksenasettelun kannalta relevantteja Sunin kirjoittamia tekstejä. Teoreettisena näkökulmana minulla on Reinhart Koselleckin temporalisaatio-teesi, jota sovellan työssäni kiinalaiseen kontekstiin. Tämä asetelma sijoittaa Sunin argumentaation osaksi laajempaa kontekstia. Taustaoletuksenani on, että Kiinass…
Decoherence without entanglement and quantum Darwinism
2020
It is often assumed that decoherence arises as a result of the entangling interaction between a quantum system and its environment, as a consequence of which the environment effectively measures the system, thus washing away its quantum properties. Moreover, this interaction results in the emergence of a classical objective reality, as described by quantum Darwinism. In this Rapid Communication, we show that the idea that entanglement is needed for decoherence is imprecise. We propose a dynamical mixing mechanism capable of inducing decoherence dynamics on a system without creating any entanglement with its quantum environment. We illustrate this mechanism by introducing a simple and exactl…
L'evoluzione darwiniana e l'interplay dinamico tra routine procedurali e prosociali
2012
La «Escuela social del derecho» entre Europa y Brasil. Encuentros y desencuentros ante las transformaciones de fin de siglo.
2015
Las proyecciones europeas y latinoamericanas de la «Escuela social del derecho», que floreció en Italia en los últimos veinte años del siglo XIX, ofrecen un escenario rico en contaminaciones, derivaciones y sugestiones, correspondencias y coincidencias, pero también silencios e indiferencias. Los «neotéricos» italianos lanzaron una piedra que agitó las aguas tranquilas del estanque legalista, produciendo una ola destinada a encontrarse con las tendencias análogas que estaban germinando en la crisis de fin de siglo a una y otra orilla del Atlántico. Un encuentro obligado en el plano de las sugestiones, de los contenidos y del método, pero no siempre consumado, declarado y formalizado; un diá…
1993
The formulation of the synthetic theory represented a significant-advance for evolutionary studies, which had previously been hampered by apparently irreconcilable contractions. Combining Mendelian laws with Darwinism, it joined the antitheses in a synthesis which was subsequently refined and completed. Today, its content may not be simply rejected or ignored, although there are those who think of it as little more than a corpse.
