Defining as discursive practice in transition – Upper secondary students reinvent the formal definition of convergent sequences
2018
International audience; The investigation of limits is at the heart of analysis at university. Accordingly, it is a worthwhile topic for transition courses. The present study engages upper secondary students in reinventing the definition of convergent sequences. Using a commognitive framework, the central development stages of the definition from experiential to abstract are empirically investigated in terms of activated secondary school discourses. The students' familiarity with secondary school discourses is critical, as it allows them to transition from grasping processes with metaphors towards grasping them as formal and abstract objects. For this, school objects act as intermediate s…

Non-standard Problems in an Ordinary Differential Equations Course
2018
International audience; We report first results from a teaching intervention in an ordinary differential equations (ODEs) course for engineering students. Our aim is to challenge traditional approaches to teaching of Existence and Uniqueness Theorems (EUTs) through the design of problems that students cannot solve by applying well-rehearsed techniques or familiar methods. We analyse how the use of nonstandard problems contributes to the development of students' conceptual understanding of EUTs and ODEs.

Wireless Sensor Network Operating System Design Rules Based on Real-World Deployment Survey
2013
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been a widely researched field since the beginning of the 21st century. The field is already maturing, and TinyOS has established itself as the de facto standard WSN Operating System (OS). However, the WSN researcher community is still active in building more flexible, efficient and user-friendly WSN operating systems. Often, WSN OS design is based either on practical requirements of a particular research project or research group's needs or on theoretical assumptions spread in the WSN community. The goal of this paper is to propose WSN OS design rules that are based on a thorough survey of 40 WSN deployments. The survey unveils trends of WSN applic…
The Primary Scientific Contribution Is Hardly a Theory in Design Science Research
2021
Generally, to publish a paper in a top IS journal, making a new theory contribution is, so we are told, required. Such a requirement also exists in Design Science Research (DSR) literature. We review a number of claims about the necessity of theory as it applies to DSR. We find these claims wanting. For example, medical research and engineering are both called “design science” in Simon’s(1996) Sciences of the Artificial. However, most articles in the top medical, computer engineering, and network engineering journals do not develop new theories. Unless the proponents of theories, as the primary vehicle of scientific DSR knowledge, can offer a satisfactory argument for why theories are the p…
IMPRESSIONI IN SICILIA
2014
“Impressioni in Sicilia” è la storia di una piccola azienda di design tessile che ha operato a Palermo dal 1974 fino al 1994. Proprietaria dell’impresa è Regine Hildebrandt, una svizzera trapiantata in Sicilia. La nascita di questo laboratorio s’inserisce in quel filone di esperienze finalizzate a incentivare il processo che vede l’incontro tra la cultura del progetto e la produzione artigianale, spesso legata alle tradizioni e alle risorse di alcuni territori. Gli oggetti progettati e realizzati da Regine hanno un valore durevole per la qualità dei disegni e dei materiali ma soprattutto, perché il suo progetto di ricerca è destinato all’identificazione e alla proposizione di “tratti cultur…
Design, agro-food and cultural heritage for sustainable local economy development
2016
The aim of this paper is to describe, using the sustainable design process, the relationships between tourism, agro-food traditional products and cultural heritage to regenerate local development. For this purpose the study investigate the territory of Modica, a specific area in the south-east side of Sicily (province of Ragusa). The project is based on the approach of circular economy to enhance and use derivatives and waste of the selection process from the supply chain of Modica cottoia broad bean. The paper is divided in two sections one about the research step and the other about design step. The research step begins with the exploration and collection of information in order to examin…
