Revistas iberoamericanas de Educación Física/Ciencias del Deporte presentes en Web of Science: evaluación y desafíos
2014
ResumenEn este artículo se evalúan varias dimensiones estratégicas de ocho revistas iberoamericanas de Educación Física/Ciencias del Deporte (cinco brasileñas, dos españolas y una portuguesa) presentes en la nueva plataforma Web of Science. Con ello se pretende reflexionar sobre los desafíos próximos a los que deben enfrentarse y también ser útil en la mejora de la calidad de estas publicaciones. El análisis se realizó sobre los fascículos editados en 2012 y a partir de la información disponible en sus versiones electrónicas. Los resultados muestran que, en general, la transparencia y la gestión del proceso editorial son mejorables y que la internacionalización y la visibilidad de las revis…
Il vetro e il velluto. La casa tra opacità e trasparenza
2016
All’inizio del XX secolo le nuove tecniche consentono di sostituire il muro in materiali opachi con pareti di vetro che aboliscono le barriere visive tra interno ed esterno. Dopo aver illustrato l’estetica della trasparenza propugnata dal Movimento moderno, il presente saggio contrapporrà alla casa di vetro modernista orientata verso un’estetica prevalentemente visiva la dimora ottocentesca che, con i suoi pesanti velluti, esprime l’idea del calore e della tattilità. Infine si interrogherà su come la dialettica opacità/trasparenza si configuri nella casa ipertecnologica del Terzo millennio. At beginning of twentieth century, new techniques allow to replace the wall built with opaque materia…
Rendre la mode transparente au consommateur : mais quoi montrer ?
2021
La transparence dans le domaine de la mode semble paradoxale. Nous avons cherché à comprendre comment les informations peuvent être plus transparentes pour les consommateurs. A l'exemple du modèle de la transparence numérique proposé par Portes et al (2020), nous avons identifié les trois dimensions : l'information objective dans le domaine de la mode semble être : le prix, les matières premiers, le lieu de production ; limpidité : les consommateurs souhaitent connaitre comment le prix est affecté dans la chaine de production par exemple ; et ouverte, parce que le consommateur souhaite échanger avec la marque. Nous avons également rencontré les conséquences d'engagement et de confiance. A d…
Not Worth the Net Worth? The Democratic Dilemmas of Privileged Access to Information
2017
In this article, we discuss the democratic conditions for parliamentary oversight in EU foreign affairs. Our point of departure is two Interinstitutional Agreements (IIAs) between the Council and the European Parliament (EP), which provide the latter with access to sensitive documents. To shed light on this issue, we ask to what extent these contribute to the democratic accountability in EU foreign policy? It is argued that the IIAs have strengthened the EP’s role in EU foreign affairs by giving it access to information to which it was previously denied. This does not mean, however, that this increase in power equals a strengthening of the EP as a democratic accountability forum. First of a…
La transparencia en la Unión Europea
2012
Este estudio versa sobre la formación histórica y vigencia del marco jurídico europeo, en materia de transparencia. Se centra en el derecho de la Unión Europea, por constituir un referente básico de los Estados miembros, en cuanto a la influencia en los ordenamientos jurídicos internos de los mismos. El estudio comprende los Tratados y el derecho derivado, junto a otros actos relacionados con la materia que nos ocupa, durante el periodo de vigencia de cada Tratado, con referencias a la jurisprudencia comunitaria. Además, los estudios sobre la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea y los Códigos de Buena Conducta Administrativa, efectuados por separado, a efectos de mayor cl…
Building European‐level Quality Assurance Structures: Views from Within ENQA
2009
Abstract The current article discusses the changes in the role of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA) in the Bologna Process, mainly from the ENQA point of view. This paper argues that ENQA’s development to its current status as a European‐level policy maker is to a great extent a result of the European Union’s policy of supporting European‐level cooperation and transparency in the field of quality assurance. ENQA was not the only contestant for the role it now has in European quality assurance. The European University Association (EUA) had long‐term experience in quality assurance and also had its own interests in the field of quality assurance. The te…
Entity Recommendation for Everyday Digital Tasks
2021
| openaire: EC/H2020/826266/EU//CO-ADAPT Recommender systems can support everyday digital tasks by retrieving and recommending useful information contextually. This is becoming increasingly relevant in services and operating systems. Previous research often focuses on specific recommendation tasks with data captured from interactions with an individual application. The quality of recommendations is also often evaluated addressing only computational measures of accuracy, without investigating the usefulness of recommendations in realistic tasks. The aim of this work is to synthesize the research in this area through a novel approach by (1) demonstrating comprehensive digital activity monitor…
P2D: a self-supervised method for depth estimation from polarimetry
2021
Monocular depth estimation is a recurring subject in the field of computer vision. Its ability to describe scenes via a depth map while reducing the constraints related to the formulation of perspective geometry tends to favor its use. However, despite the constant improvement of algorithms, most methods exploit only colorimetric information. Consequently, robustness to events to which the modality is not sensitive to, like specularity or transparency, is neglected. In response to this phenomenon, we propose using polarimetry as an input for a self-supervised monodepth network. Therefore, we propose exploiting polarization cues to encourage accurate reconstruction of scenes. Furthermore, we…
Implementing Ethics in AI: Initial Results of an Industrial Multiple Case Study
2019
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly widespread in system development endeavors. As AI systems affect various stakeholders due to their unique nature, the growing influence of these systems calls for ethical considerations. Academic discussion and practical examples of autonomous system failures have highlighted the need for implementing ethics in software development. However, research on methods and tools for implementing ethics into AI system design and development in practice is still lacking. This paper begins to address this focal problem by providing elements needed for producing a baseline for ethics in AI based software development. We do so by means of an industri…
