The goal of this article is to present a first list of ethical concerns that may arise from research and personal use of virtual reality (VR) and related technology, and to offer concrete recommendations for minimizing those risks. Many of the recommendations call for focused research initiatives. In the first part of the article, we discuss the relevant evidence from psychology that motivates our concerns. In section 1.1, we cover some of the main results suggesting that one’s environment can influence one’s psychological states, as well as recent work on inducing illusions of embodiment. Then, in section 1.2, we go on to discuss recent evidence indicating that immersion in VR can have psy…

The effects of virtuality level on task-related collaborative behaviors: The mediating role of team trust

2013

This study aims to analyze the mediating role of team trust in the relationship between virtuality level and task-related collaborative behaviors. Three types of task-related collaborative behaviors were studied, namely team coordination, team cooperation, and team information exchange. Drawing upon theory and research on virtual teams and trust, we hypothesized that team trust partially mediated the effects of virtuality level on team coordination, team cooperation, and team information exchange. A laboratory experiment was carried out with 65 four-person teams randomly assigned to three communication media with different virtuality levels (face-to-face, video conference and computer-media…

Disegnare il non costruito: la Caserma-Teatro G.I.L. di Luigi Moretti a Piacenza

2021

Come si misura la distanza che intercorre tra noi e un edificio rimasto sulla carta? Questa domanda apparentemente pretestuosa può esserci utile per incardinare delle riflessioni sull’uso del Disegno nello studio dell’architettura non realizzata, soprattutto quella del primo ‘900. Non a caso, nell’approfondire un progetto rimasto tale di Luigi Moretti per la città di Piacenza (la locale “Caserma-Teatro G.I.L.”) si è voluto prioritariamente verificare un metodo che prevede l’applicazione di alcuni degli strumenti propri della Scienza della Rappresentazione. I culmini di questo processo lento di decodifica e successiva esegesi sono stati certamente l’analisi grafica (che ha permesso di discre…

Forte Avalos: tra memoria e oblio, un disegno per ricordare

2020

In 16th century Sicily, in order to deal with the incursions of the Turks and Barbary, the Spanish viceroy government put in place the construction of some maritime forts in order to defend the coasts of the island. Among these, in the port city of Augusta, Avalos fort was built around 1570, a small modern fortification characterized by the particular semicircular floor plan, capable of having a wide radius of action. Various and extensive studies have been conducted on the events and historical representations of the fort also in relation to the fortified maritime system of the Sicilian coasts. However, these studies have not always been related to the actual state of the property, which, …

Formaciones sociales y opresión en Marx

2018

The text explains the difference between Marx?s concept of «oppression» and others as «coercion» by Durkheim or «domination» by Weber. The article then establishes, in a methodical way, the centrality of a passage from Capital, in which three different theories on «oppression» appear. It?s explained that two of them are rather a philosophical antinomy. The other, relative to the heteronomy of social time, can be completed by defining the heteronomy of social space, which gives it analytical virtuality. Some examples are given.

Rethinking virtuality in a digital media age

2017

Scholars have studied virtuality in teams and organizations for over two decades. The term “virtual” is of- ten used loosely and imprecisely, and theoretical debates have flourished over what differentiates virtual from non-virtual teams. In these debates, scholarship has not explicitly considered the significant ways in which the technological landscape has changed over this time. While the virtual is often treated as a separate space from “real”, physical or face-to-face interaction, the increasing technological saturation of our lives has resulted in a blurring of online and offline worlds such that these distinctions may no longer hold up. I will explore whether the term “virtuality” st…

Ecommerce drivers and marketing partnerships in successful export marketing of Finnish born globals

2015

This study examines the utilization of ecommerce and marketing partnerships as part of born global internationalization strategies. The study will combine the existing literature of born global internationalization, export marketing strategies and ecommerce as part of internationalization to form an understanding on how two Finnish health and welfare sector born globals internationalize, and how ecommerce drivers affect their internationalization. Because of the explorative nature of the study, the research was conducted as a case study. The main theoretical background consists of ecommerce and export marketing strategy research (Bell & Loane, 2010; Gregory et al., 2007; Karavdic & Gregory,…
