Derechos humanos y virtudes fundamentales
2013
Al establecer los derechos humanos dentro de un constitucionalismo democrático en vez de hacerlo en la verdad de la persona, los legalismos entran en un círculo infinito. Entonces, es necesario asentarlos en un fundamento pre-legal, previo a toda deliberación que incluya las virtudes clásicas de la coexistencia humana que hacen posible cualquier proceso democrático. Aunque este documento se centra básicamente en la justicia, el éxito, el coraje y la templanza como los goznes de toda virtud, también se refiere al valor del compañerismo, la simplicidad, la austeridad, la lealtad y la confianza hacia otros. Pero todo este marco axiológico nos obliga naturalmente a mirar hacia la familia, donde…
How Quickly Can We Predict Users’ Ratings on Aesthetic Evaluations of Websites? Employing Machine Learning on Eye-Tracking Data
2020
This study examines how quickly we can predict users’ ratings on visual aesthetics in terms of simplicity, diversity, colorfulness, craftsmanship. To predict users’ ratings, first we capture gaze behavior while looking at high, neutral, and low visually appealing websites, followed by a survey regarding user perceptions on visual aesthetics towards the same websites. We conduct an experiment with 23 experienced users in online shopping, capture gaze behavior and through employing machine learning we examine how fast we can accurately predict their ratings. The findings show that after 25 s we can predict ratings with an error rate ranging from 9% to 11% depending on which facet of visual ae…
Enseñanza de las ciencias : revista de investigación y experiencias didácticas

Resumen basado en el de la publicación Resumen en inglés La evolución histórica del principio de Le Chatelier está relacionada con su uso en el aula de química. La aparente simplicidad en la cual el principio de Le Chatelier fue formulado por primera vez y el éxito logrado en la implementación de algunos procesos industriales importantes le dio un reconocimiento inicial que aún perdura. Sin embargo, desde el comienzo de este siglo, diferentes autores han señalado el carácter limitado de la regla cualitativa y su formulación vaga y ambigua. Además, la termodinámica dada por el Principio de Le Chatelier en algunas formulaciones cuantitativas limitan su aplicabilidad. Sin embargo, la mayoría d…
Project Education and Adams’ Theory of Equity
2020
This work-in-progress paper in research category is concerned with students’ perceptions of justice in software engineering group projects. Taking a directed content analysis approach, the aim is to analyze the relevance of Adams’ theory of Equity for small-group project education. The analysis was applied to the data collected from a third-year project course in which students encounter an open-ended group assignment. The results indicate that the theory can serve as a useful framework that helps teachers to identify justice-related issues in project courses. On the other hand, it was concluded that special carefulness is advisable considering the simplicity of the theory. peerReviewed
Modern Tendencies in Changing the Consumers’ Preferences
2014
Abstract In the middle of globalization era, when consumers have at their disposal more and more prosperous livelihood, when technology is more and more present, when everyone look for the newest and the most modern thing, food sector represents an exception. They try to establish links which go beyond the product itself and pay a special attention to the story behind the product. They want to know about the production site, the origin of ingredients, the persons involved in the production process. This is why the current consumers are looking for unique, sensorial experiences which, according to them, can be found only in original, simple, traditional products. The simplicity and authentic…
Simplicity and the art of something more: A cognitive-semiotic approach to simplicity and complexity in human-technology interaction and design exper…
2018
In human–technology interaction, the balance between simplicity and complexity has been much discussed. Emphasis is placed on the value of simplicity when designing for usability. Often simplicity is interpreted as reductionism, which compromises both the affective nature of the design and usability itself. This paper takes a cognitive–semiotic approach toward understanding the dynamics between the utilitarian benefits of simplicity in design and the art of something more: considerate complexity. The cognitive–semiotic approach to human–technology design experience is a vehicle for explaining the relationship between simplicity and complexity, and this relationship’s multisensory character …
Identifying Critical Determinants of ‘Digital Customer Services’ Usage – An Exploratory Study
2019
Digital technology has reinvented retail business as well as commerce. This study aims to examine consumers’ perception and usage of digital customer services (DCS) and investigate three significant post-adoption and marketing consequences: simplicity, awareness, and usefulness. Using a purposeful sampling technique, 10 semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with banking customers in Finland in January 2019. The research findings suggest that simplicity regarding DCS occupies a key position in their prolonged use, while awareness and usability are also important. This study offers some valuable theoretical and managerial implications and suggests an agenda for future research. …
