GIS-based hedonic pricing of landscape
2009
ACL; International audience; Hedonic prices of landscape are estimated in the urban fringe of Dijon (France). Viewshed and its content as perceived at ground level are analyzed from satellite images supplemented by a digital elevation model. Landscape attributes are then fed into econometric models (based on 2,667 house sales) that allows for endogeneity, multicollinearity, and spatial correlations. Results show that when in the line of sight, trees and farmland in the immediate vicinity of houses command positive prices and roads negative prices; if out of sight, their prices are markedly lower or insignificant: the view itself matters. The layout of features in fragmented landscapes comma…
How globalization is changing digital technology adoption: An international perspective
2021
Abstract This paper examines how globalization influences the adoption of digital technologies. The purpose of the paper is to explain how globalization affects new technology adoptions. We use country-level data from the globalization index (KOF), digital adoption index (DAI), global competitiveness index (GDI), and total factor productivity (TFP) on 183 countries and using advanced panel data modeling. Empirical findings show globalization can significantly affect technology adoption in all countries. The study's findings show globalization positively affects technology transfers and spillovers; here, using digital technology. Countries undergoing significant technological changes achieve…
Deconstruyendo la “peer-to-peer sharing economy”: El desafío de la “economía colaborativa” a las cooperativas de plataforma en la era del pos-trabajo…
2022
La denominada economía colaborativa o economía p2p, concepto multifacético de creciente relevancia, constituye nuestro objeto de estudio como resultante de la traducción del vocablo anglosajón “sharing economy”. El presente artículo se plantea metodológicamente como una revisión crítica y una síntesis de las principales tendencias de la economía del siglo XXI del principio del nuevo fenómeno del neo-capitalismo de plataformas digitales. Desde el marco de la contradicción tradicional de trabajo y capital, se realiza un análisis pormenorizado del concepto de “colaboración” como traducción de “sharing”. Se realiza una revisión cronológica de la literatura, identificando los principales trabajo…
Does the internet increase the job finding rate? Evidence from a period of expansion in internet use
2021
Abstract We examine the impact of household access to the internet on job finding rates in Germany during a period (2006–2009) in which the share of households with a broadband connection increased by 31 percentage points, and job-seekers increased their use of the internet as a search tool. During this period, household access to broadband internet was almost completely dependent on the availability of a particular technology (DSL). We therefore exploit the variation in DSL availability across municipalities as an instrument for household access to the internet. OLS estimates which control for differences in individual and local area characteristics suggest a job finding advantage of about…
Extending the DSE. LOD support and TEI/IIIF integration in EVT
2020
Current digital scholarly editions (DSEs) have the opportunity of evolving to dynamic objects interacting with other Internet-based resources thanks to open frameworks such as IIIF and LOD. This paper showcases and discusses two new functionalities of EVT (Edition Visualization Technology), version 2: one improving the management of named entities (f.i. personal names) through the use of LOD resources such as FOAF and DBpedia; the other, providing integration of the published text with digital images of the textual primary sources accessed from online repositories (e.g. e-codices or digital libraries such as the Vaticana or the Ambrosiana) via the IIIF protocol.
A study on the didactic, content and narrative characteristics of the audiovisual products available on YouTube Kids
2022
This article analyzes the characteristics of a selection of audiovisual products aimed at children from 0 to 4 years old, hosted on the YouTube Kids platform. On the one hand, the platform itself is analyzed; its structure, design, usability and interactivity. On the other hand, the most popular resources in each of the categories established on the platform itself are analyzed, namely: programs, music, learning and exploring. A total of 29 videos were evaluated, using an analysis tool developed ad-hoc, which is structured in the following areas of analysis: didactic, content and narrative. The results obtained show that the platform is based on a structure similar to that of YouTube, but i…
Analysis of digital competence in future teachers through a mixed design
2022
Digital competence is not only a desirable skill for any citizen, but also a responsibility for the training of future teachers. Using a mixed methodology combining a questionnaire based on the Common Framework for Digital Competence in Teaching and open items, this paper aims to analyse the level of digital competence of 230 future teachers (Primary and Secondary Education), as well as to explore possible differences based on some basic variables. A study is also carried out on the perceived level of digital competence and the true level of digital competence, exploring, finally, the perceptions of the uses of technology in the educational environment. The results show that the level of di…
Educational policies in the production and distribution of digital didactic materials
2017
En este artículo abordamos el análisis de las políticas educativas de tres comunidades autónomas (CA) tan diversas geográfca, social y culturalmente como son Canarias, Galicia y Valencia. El trabajo se enmarca en el proyecto de investigación EDU-2015-64593-R, fnanciado por el Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, titulado: «LLa escuela de la sociedad digital: análisis y propuestas para la producción y uso de los contenidos digitales educa - tivos», en el que participan las universidades de La Laguna, Santiago de Compostela y de Valencia. El objetivo fundamental es analizar la situación de los Materiales Didácticos Digitales (MDD) en las citadas CA. En la primera fase del estudio se han e…

Industry 4.0: Advanced digital solutions implemented on a close power loop test bench
2021
Abstract The paradigm of Industry 4.0 allows to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the production. Companies that will implement advanced solutions in production systems will increase their level of competitiveness and will be able reach high market shares. The present paper is focused on the development of advanced digital solutions to be implemented on a close power loop test bench designed to test high power transmissions for naval unit. In particular, the test configuration consists of a back-to-back connection between two identical mechanical reducers. Since the efficiency of these systems are very high, it is not necessary to use large electric motors, thus managing to conta…
