Governance as a barrier to mainstreaming sustainable development in Riga, Latvia
2008
The Aalborg Commitments baseline review of urban sustainability undertaken in Riga, Latvia reveals significant discrepancies between the sustainability criteria of the Aalborg Commitments and municipal statutes and planning documents. An analysis of the European Common Indicators (ECI) and the State of the Environment in Riga indicators indicates that they can only partially fulfil a monitoring function for the implementation of the Aalborg Commitments. To gain insight into the institutional arrangements and governance practices of the municipal government and administration in the context of sustainability City Council deputies and municipal administration structural units and personnel we…
Mainstreaming gender and sustainability jointly: a case study from a local government in Spain
2020
ABSTRACTAfter the approval of the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, mainstreaming has regained attention as a key strategy to advance towards sustainable development (SD). Taking into account ...
The school staff's perception of their ability to teach special educational needs pupils in inclusive settings in Finland
2015
Recent studies have suggested that the professional training received by general educators does not adequately prepare them to properly implement inclusion-based practices. The idea of inclusion in practice has not significantly changed the situation of teaching pupils with special educational needs (SENs) in mainstream classes. This study's primary intent is to examine the factors that identify the school staff's ability to meet the needs of SEN pupils in their daily teaching situations. A total of 187 elementary school teachers, principals and teaching assistants in a Finnish city completed a structured questionnaire that used a self-evaluation method. Two components were generalised acco…
A Teledentistry system for the second opinion
2014
In this paper we present a Teledentistry system aimed to the Second Opinion task. It make use of a particular camera called intra-oral camera, also called dental camera, in order to perform the photo shooting and real-time video of the inner part of the mouth. The pictures acquired by the Operator with such a device are sent to the Oral Medicine Expert (OME) by means of a current File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service and the real-time video is channeled into a video streaming thanks to the VideoLan client/server (VLC) application. It is composed by a HTML5 web-pages generated by PHP and allows to perform the Second Opinion both when Operator and OME are logged and when one of them is offline.
Classical and Quantum Computations with Restricted Memory
2018
Automata and branching programs are known models of computation with restricted memory. These models of computation were in focus of a large number of researchers during the last decades. Streaming algorithms are a modern model of computation with restricted memory. In this paper, we present recent results on the comparative computational power of quantum and classical models of branching programs and streaming algorithms.
INVESTIGATING MARKET POTENTIAL FOR STREAMING SUBSCRIPTION MODEL IN EMERGING ECONOMIES : A CASE OF NIGERIA
2018
Master's thesis Music management MU501 - University of Agder 2018 Building on two marketing theories: the product and marketing concept, this study conceptualizes how music sampling, consumers’ income and attitude affect streaming subscription in Nigeria. The aim is to test whether efficient market for streaming subscription could be developed in emerging economies and contribute to growth in the world digital music markets. The study used a binomial logistic regression to analyse 230 observations obtained from a survey data to estimate a conceptual framework. Results show that music sampling positively affect streaming subscription. Conversely, consumers’ income and attitude are both not s…
Video Streaming Distribution in VANETs
2011
Streaming applications will rapidly develop and contribute a significant amount of traffic in the near future. A problem, scarcely addressed so far, is how to distribute video streaming traffic from one source to all nodes in an urban vehicular network. This problem significantly differs from previous work on broadcast and multicast in ad hoc networks because of the highly dynamic topology of vehicular networks and the strict delay requirements of streaming applications. We present a solution for intervehicular communications, called Streaming Urban Video (SUV), that 1) is fully distributed and dynamically adapts to topology changes, and 2) leverages the characteristics of streaming applica…
MediaDASH Tool: Plataforma Web para la Codificación, Difusión y Recepción de Videos DASH
2017
[ES] Hoy en día el tráfico de video de internetsignifica alrededor del 65-70% del tráfico total. Se prevéque en 2019 aumente hasta el 80%. Debido a esto se hacenecesario optimizar y mejorar las tecnologías relacionadascon la transmisión de video para garantizar una calidad deexperiencia adecuada. Es por ello que se están desarrollando nuevos protocolos de transmisión de videoadaptativos basados en DASH. Debido a que su uso estáaumentando en los últimos años para realizar streamingsobre HTTP. En este artículo presentamos la herramientaMediaDASH Tool, la cual es una aplicación web quepermite de manera muy intuitiva poder comprimir ypreparar videos para su difusión con DASH. Así como suposteri…
Investigating the Affordances and Constraints of SimReal for Mathematical Learning : A Case Study in Teacher Education
2019
Visualizations tools are one of the most innovative technologies that emerged the last few years in educational settings. They provide new potentialities for mathematical learning by means of dynamic animations and representations, interactive simulations, and live streaming of lessons. Moreover, visualization tools have the potential to foster a visual, dynamic, distributed, and embodied mathematics rather than individual achievements and static representations. This paper uses the visualization tool SimReal in teacher education to explore the affordances of the tool for learning mathematics. It proposes a framework that captures the affordances of SimReal at a technological, pedagogical, …
Observable Streaming Potential in Membranes
2003
Theories describing the electrokinetic processes in membranes usually involve nonobservable variables. One of these phenomena is the streaming potential, i.e., the electric potential generated by a pressure difference imposed across the membrane system. In this work the streaming potential is successfully described by using observable variables in the framework of thermodynamics of irreversible processes. The observable electric potential is the central quantity of the transport equations. The relaxation with time of this electric potential difference is well explained by the solute flux in these transport equations. The fluxes and forces defined in the formulation permit one to analyze the…
