Capabilities and Affordances of Virtual Worlds for People with Lifelong Disability
2013
Using technology is of great value for people with lifelong disability (PWLD). The Internet can help PWLD to be more independent, to be socially active, and to participate in a range of activities. Virtual worlds (VWs) offer an environment with technology capabilities for interaction, rendering, and communication. The ability to take advantage of these capabilities may depend on the technology and the ability of the person utilizing it. Using a qualitative study we aimed to explore the differences of ability required to use these capabilities and make capabilities into affordances for PWLD. We found there were differences in PWLD’s ability to utilize the capabilities offered and conclude th…
Organizational Culture Challenges of Adopting Big Data: A Systematic Literature Review
2019
Part 2: Big Data Analytics; International audience; The interest of adopting big data (BD) in organizations has emerged in recent years. Even though many organizations have attempted to adopt BD, the benefits gained by this investment has been limited, and organizations struggle to fully utilize the potential of BD. There has been done several studies on the different challenges and benefits that may occur during the process of adopting and using BD. One major factor that has been discussed in the literature to overcome such challenges has been organizational culture. This paper aims to provide a systematic literature review that reports the organizational culture’s impact on BD adoption th…
HL7v3 CDA Rel.2 prescription: Localization experience and GP Integration Project
2010
The localization experience for the e-prescription, based on the Health Level Seven Version 3 (HL7v3) Clinical Document Architecture, Release 2 (CDA Rel.2), is presented. As application, we propose a project of General Practitioners Integration with the EHR (Electronic Health Record), implementing the e-prescription, patient summary and other CDA Rel.2 documents. The integration is made possible with HL7v3, the most widely used standard for healthcare information interoperability. The project is in line with the state of the art in the normative referring context for the Italian Healthcare, both at national and regional level (Tuscany Region). Final remarks are drawn, also referring to the …
Determinants of web site information by Spanish city councils
2008
PurposeThe purpose of this research is to analyse the web sites of large Spanish city councils with the objective of assessing the extent of information disseminated on the internet and determining what factors are affecting the observed levels of information disclosure.Design/methodology/approachThe study takes as its reference point the existing literature on the examination of the quality of web sites, in particular the provisions of the Web Quality Model (WQM) and the importance of content as a key variable in determining web site quality. In order to quantify the information on city council web sites, a Disclosure Index has been designed which takes into account the content, navigabili…
Behavior Pattern Simulation of Freelance Marketplace
2012
Labour market is expanding rapidly nowadays. Therefore, recruitment processes, namely, the processes of job searching and job offer have become more complicated and there is a strong tendency to automate and integrate it in special freelance marketplaces, i.e. web solutions which seek for the best match for a buyer and seller analyzing the services and items they offer. The aim of the current research is to find possible improvements to the existing system via the implementation of the Multi-Agent-System paradigm. We model the whole marketplace as a continuous process with different agents (freelancers) and propose several behavior models of agents. We analyze different strategies with the …
XML Enabled Metamodeling and Tools for Cooperative Information Systems
2001
The development of tools to support semantic resolution is a key issue in the design of heterogeneous interoperable information systems. This paper presents a methodology and a data model translator toolkit, called X-TIME, for the design and management of interoperable information systems. X-TIME combines a metamodelling approach and XML features to provide support for automated design of wrappers or semantic reconciliators. It is a flexible semantics oriented approach that takes into account several important characteristics of interoperable information systems, including extensibility and composability. Extensibility requires a translation scheme that can easily integrate new data models.…
Latvijas atspoguļojums Krievijai piederošajos interneta portālos
2022
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Latvijas atspoguļojums Krievijai piederošajos interneta portālos”. Krievija jau vēsturiski uzskatāma par draudu Latvijai, taču pēc iebrukuma Ukrainā ir nepieciešams papildus drošības nodrošināšana gan aktīvi stiprinot militārās spējas valstī, gan nodrošinot drošas un caurredzamas ziņas dažādos interneta portālos, tādēļ būtiski ir veikt pētījumus, kas šādu rezultātu nodrošinātu. Pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt Latvijas atspoguļojumu Krievijas interneta portālos, izmantojot EUvsDisinfo datubāzi, pētot, kā attiecīgie dezinformācijas portāli atspoguļo Latviju savai auditorijai no 2016. gada janvāra, kad notika ASV vēlēšanas, un pasaule iepazinās ar viltus ziņām, kādas tās pa…
Nuevo régimen de responsabilidad de los servicios digitales que actúan como intermediarios a la luz de la propuesta de Reglamento relativo a un merca…
2021
El pasado 15 de diciembre de 2020, la Comisión Europea presentó las Propuestas de Reglamento relativo a un mercado único de servicios digitales (Ley de Servicios Digitales) y sobre mercados competitivos y justos en el sector digital (Ley de Mercados Digitales) , que modernizan el régimen aplicable a los prestadores de servicios de intermediación . Esenciales en el entramado de internet, los intermediarios son agentes fundamentales de la transformación digital de estas últimas décadas. Aunque constantemente cuestionados por el poder e influencia que algunas compañías (como Google, Apple, Amazon o Facebook, por citar algún ejemplo de las big tech) ostentan en el entorno digital, lo cierto es …
Automated Soil Moisture Monitoring Wireless Sensor Network for Long-Term Cal/Val Applications
2012
The design and development of a wireless sensor network for soil moisture measurement in an unlevelled 10 km × 10 km area, is described. It was specifically deployed for the characterization of a reference area, in campaigns of calibration and validation of the space mission SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity), but the system is easily extensible to monitor other climatic or environmental variables, as well as to other regions of ecological interest. The network consists of a number of automatic measurement stations, strategically placed following soil homogeneity and land uses criteria. Every station includes acquisition, conditioning and communication systems. The electronics are batt…
