Managing Converging Content in Organizations
2009
Content management is essential for organizational work. It has been defined as “a variety of tools and methods that are used together to collect, process, and deliver content of diverse types” (McIntosh, 2000, p. 1). Content management originates from document management. In fact, a great deal of contemporary content management system functionality has evolved from document management systems. Documents are identifiable units of content, flexibly structured for human comprehension (Murphy, 2001; Salminen, 2003). They have traditionally been considered as containers for organizational content. Document management considers the creation, manipulation, use, publishing, archiving, and disposal…
Integrated Domain Model for Digital Rights Management
2004
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is an issue of controlling and managing digital rights over intellectual property. It has recently broadened its scope from being merely a content protection concern to description, identification, trading, protection, monitoring and tracking of rights over tangible or intangible assets. In our study we found out an essential problem of the domain: lack of models on an appropriate level of abstraction needed to support research and system development. Modelling, identifying and describing the core entities enable the rights management functionalities. This chapter contributes in recognizing the principal entities and providing detailed description on current …
Analysing Requirements for Content Mangement
2006
The content to be managed in organisations is in textual or multimedia formats. Major part of the content is, however, stored in documents. In order to find out the needs of the people and organisations producing and using the content a profound requirements analysis is needed. In the paper, a novel method for the requirements analysis for content management purposes is introduced. The method combines different techniques from two existing methods, which were used in various content management development projects. The paper also describes a case study where the new method is exploited.
Design, Implementation and Students' Emotional Assessment of a Software for the Learning of Rational Numbers through Music Metaphors in Chilean Prima…
2019
Using sound and music as a metaphor to approach curricular mathematical contents in Primary Education seems an interesting field that deserves some research. Both music and sound can synergically act as scaffolding for learning, intervening as part of situated knowledge, and they could offer a new perspective for learning mathematics at schools, giving pupils opportunities to develop their own mental representations. Also, the incorporation of an affective/emotional analysis, as criteria for evaluation, seems pertinent and complementary to other criteria in the production of multimedia material with educational purposes both in formal and non-formal domains of education. These are the inten…
La utilització de WebQuest i de Sistemes de Resposta Interactiva en l'assignatura Investigació de Mercats
2010
Aquest treball té com objectiu estudiar la importància d'implantar metodologies docents centrades en les noves tecnologies de la informació i comunicació (TIC), amb la finalitat de potenciar la participació de l'estudiant i de millorar els seus resultats d'aprenentatge. Concretament,aprofundirem en el disseny d'una WebQuest i en l'ús de Sistemes de Resposta Interactiva en l'assignatura Investigació de Mercats. Els resultats obtinguts serviran de base per a dissenyar les guies i metodologies docents de les assignatures de l'àrea de Comercialització i Investigació de Mercats en els nous estudis de grau.
Structure of planktonic microbial communities along a trophic gradient in lakes of Byers Peninsula, South Shetland Islands
2013
AbstractA systematic limnological survey of water bodies of Byers Peninsula (Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands) was carried out during the summer of 2001/02. Abundances of microbial plankton were determined which allowed a delineation of the pelagic food web structure. We also report the nutrient status of these lakes. We demonstrate the occurrence of a trophic gradient that extended from upland lakes (oligotrophic) to the coastal ones (eutrophic). The study shows that a lake's morphology regulates the relative importance of the pelagic and benthic habitats, whereas nutrient loads mainly determine its trophic status. Yet, some of the variability observed could be also a legacy of th…
Size-fractionated δ15N and δ13C isotope ratios elucidate the role of the microbial food web in the pelagial of Lake Tanganyika
2003
Food web structure of the pelagic community in Lake Tanganyika was studied using the stable nitrogen and carbon isotopes 15N and 13C. Size-fractionated seston, zooplankton, shrimps, medusae and fish were sampled in the northern part of Lake Tanganyika. Picoplankton fractions as well as cyanobacteria-dominated nano/microplankton fractions had very low nitrogen isotope signatures typical for nitrogen-fixing organisms. Fractions containing mainly dead organic matter (and associated bacteria) or nano/microalgae (chlorophytes and diatoms) had δ15N 2 to 4‰ higher. The low δ15N signatures of small cyclopoids and shrimps suggest they are feeding on nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria (picoplankton or lar…
Medioevo meridionale reinterpretato in un sito della Duke University
2017
Il nuovo sito della Duke University (http://kos.aahvs.duke.edu/kosredirect.php) è oggi certamente il luogo dove si concentrano più informazioni e dati iconografici relativi ai monumenti medievali dell’Italia meridionale. L’iniziativa possiede molti meriti ma bisogna anche riconoscere le problematicità che la struttura, l’essenziale schedatura e l’interpretazione dei dati producono. Il problema che non sembra si sia posto è quello di una lettura deformante dell’architettura prodotta da un certo tipo di rappresentazioni “fotogeniche” e dai filtri, nati tra XVIII e XIX secolo, che hanno contribuito all’invenzione di tradizioni e hanno generato un’idea del Sud composta da alcuni fortunati luogh…
Nature Inspired Scenes for Guided Mindfulness Training: Presence, Perceived Restorativeness and Meditation Depth
2019
Practicing mindfulness-based stress reeducation and other contemplative practices generates a number of health and human performance benefits. However, limited access to qualified training and practice support, as well as poor practice environments, makes it difficult to sustain the habits necessary to develop the attentional regulation skills needed to benefit from mindfulness. In this paper, we report on our research, which focuses on developing immersive environments to support mindfulness-based stress reduction practices. We specifically look at how the design of a virtual environment can foster a restorative experience, if that restorative experience is associated with the depth of the…
Placing links in mobile banking application
2005
This study compares two alternative ways to organize links as navigation elements in mobile banking applications. For the comparison, two alternative banking applications were tested. The applications that were tested had the same content but different ways to navigate with links. One of them provided a system where the user was required to use specific menu pages for navigation and where there were no cross-navigation enabling links on content pages. The other application had cross-navigation enabling links on content pages. The comparison was done by conducting a usability test with 30 test users. The users' performance and subjective feedback were measured in the test. The application wi…
