Breaking the “Fourth Wall” in Qualitative Research: Participant-Led Digital Data Construction
2018
This article reconstructs the typical researcher-participant focus - where the participants are doing for us - instead we followed the participants’ lead in the construction of research. Using a qualitative literacy event case study as an example, we describe how participants unexpectedly co-constructed knowledge through a participant-led digital data collection. In this theoretical article, we provide an explanation of the original study, which used observations, semi-structured interviews, and home visits as a collective qualitative case study on parental participation in social literacy practices. The original investigation led to the important shift that occurred in participant-research…

: Looking through the gaps of the digital divide in Higher education
2007
A partir de una muestra de 719 estudiantes de la Universidad de Chile en 2004, este artículo analiza las diferencias existentes respecto de capitales culturales materiales e incorporados relacionados con el acceso y uso de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicación (NTICs). Bajo diferentes métodos de análisis cuantitativo se pone de manifiesto la existencia de niveles de brecha digital para tales herramientas, brecha que estaría relacionada especialmente al género pero también a la condición socioeconómica. Esta última variable, aunque presente, muestra efectos más bien indirectos no pareciendo influir en las actitudes y disposiciones de los estudiantes respecto al uso de las N…
Digitization Practice in Latvia: Achievements and Trends of Development
2011
The 1980s are characterized by rapid development of digitization process and research of digital libraries. In 1994 Latvia was also involved in this process with the first attempt to digitize the materials of high demand and in poor physical condition at the Latvian Academic Library. In 1998 the digitization process was launched at the National Library of Latvia. The study, the first results of which are presented in this publication, is made to analyze the history of digitization in Latvia, and to evaluate the achievements of these activities. Up to now the development of digitization process has been poorly documented, therefore the empirical sources are unpublished documents (project rep…
Study and Evaluation of Pre-trained CNN Networks for Cultural Heritage Image Classification
2021
The classification of digital images is an essential task during the restoration and preservation of cultural heritage (CH). In computer vision, cultural heritage classification relies on the classification of asset images regarding a certain task such as type, artist, genre, style identification, etc. CH classification is challenging as various CH asset images have similar colors, textures, and shapes. In this chapter, the aim is to study and evaluate the use of pre-trained deep convolutional neural networks such as VGG16, VGG-19, ResNet50, and Inception-V3 for cultural heritage images classification using transfer learning techniques. The main idea is to start with CNN models previously t…

Value co-creation in health care : insights into the transformation from value creation to value co-creation through digitization
2016
This study explores the transformation of value creation into value co-creation and how the digitization of services plays a key role in this transformation within the health-care sector, which faces new challenges with the increasingly active role of the customer. Customers are becoming active participants in value co-creation and now have expectations based on their needs from the service. The objective of this study is to provide a more holistic view of the customer’s role and value cocreation within digital health-care services. This study emphasizes the necessity of the co-creation of value within the health-care sector and introduces a paradigm shift through the digitization of value …
Digital Banking in Northern India: The Risks on Customer Satisfaction
2021
The widespread use of digital technologies and the current pandemic (COVID) have fueled the need and call for digital transformation in the banking sector. Although this has various benefits, it is a disruption to the norm to which a bank customer has to become accustomed. This variance means that customers would have to make some changes to their routine. This can constitute risks in terms of maintaining customer satisfaction at previous levels. These risks are associated with customer retention because a service or product needs to be aligned with customer expectations to avoid them switching to other service providers. Moreover, it can also have an effect on reputa- tion. Offering digita…

Synthesizing on a reconfigurable chip an autonomous robot image processing system
2003
This paper deals with the implementation, in a high density reconfigurable device, of an entire log-polar image processing system. The log-polar vision reduces the amount of data to be stored and processed, simplifying several vision algorithms and making it possible the implementation of a complete processing system on a single chip. This image processing system is specially appropriated for autonomous robotic navigation, since these platforms have typically power consumption, size and weight restrictions. Furthermore, the image processing algorithms involved are time consuming and many times they have also real-time restrictions. A reconfigurable approach on a single chip combines hardwar…
