Improving Participation, Accessibility and Compliance for Campus-Wide Mobile Emergency Alerting Systems
2009
University campus communities face a variety of hazards, from natural and technological disasters to terrorism and violence. In response to recent events, many campuses within the United States have begun to implement emergency notification systems utilizing email, text, and telephone-based messaging. These alerts are designed to reach members of the campus community, including faculty, staff, and students and most rely upon an opt-in model for participation. The present design of both the registration process and the notification messages raise several concerns as to the effectiveness of notification systems. This research presents findings from an examination of emergency notification sys…
Smart Technologies for the Environmental Design of Smaller Urban Centres
2020
The present study focuses on welfare measures and specifically on healthcare. The challenge we would like to accept is to provide efficient healthcare to residents in an isolated area without health services, maintaining the same level of healthcare ensured by hospitals. The innovative design, that we want to experience, is closely linked to the use of ICT, information and communication technologies, because these technologies would be able to perform autonomously multiple functions, using remote control. Telemedicine or “virtual health” is a particular branch of ICT that can improve future quality of living in a marginal urban center as a tool to ensure prompt access to expert advice, as w…
An approach for recommending personalized contents for homecare users in the context of health 2.0
2014
This paper proposes a content recommendation mechanism as part of a model for implementing ubiquitous learning for supporting people with chronic diseases who are treated at home, so that they can learn more about treatments for their disease. In the proposed approach, the learning takes place based on day-to-day activities and real situations. In this case, the model supports the development of tools that can learn about the user's context, based on data obtained via sensors installed on users or in their home, as well as data supplied directly by the user interface of their mobile devices, and data provided by the healthcare team, and, after that, recommend contents about their diseases.
Development of lumped-parameter mathematical models for a vehicle localized impact
2011
Published version of an article in the journal:Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology. Also available from the publisher on SpringerLink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12206-011-0505-x In this paper, we propose a method of modeling for vehicle crash systems based on viscous and elastic properties of the materials. This paper covers an influence of different arrangement of spring and damper on the models’ response. Differences in simulating vehicle-torigid barrier collision and vehicle-to-pole collision are explained. Comparison of the models obtained from wideband (unfiltered) acceleration and filtered acceleration is done. At the end we propose a model which is suitable for localized co…
Mathematical modeling of a vehicle crash test based on elasto-plastic unloading scenarios of spring-mass models
2011
Published version of an article in the journal: The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology. Also available from the publisher on SpringerLink: htp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00170-010-3056-x This paper investigates the usability of spring which exhibit nonlinear force-deflection characteristic in the area of mathematical modeling of vehicle crash. We present a method which allows us to obtain parameters of the spring-mass model basing on the full-scale experimental data analysis. Since vehicle collision is a dynamic event, it involves such phenomena as rebound and energy dissipation. Three different spring unloading scenarios (elastic, plastic, and elasto-plastic) are covered…
Development of a Virtual CH Path on WEB: Integration of a GIS, VR, and Other Multimedia Data
2021
Recent advances in computer science allowed people to explore new possibilities for the fruition of CH all around the world. The development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in the field of territorial systems and the evolution of Virtual Reality (VR) solutions opened new scenarios for the valorization of cultural goods. At the same time, recent advances in digital photogrammetry and 3D interactive navigation models on WEB-based on WebGL technologies offered new opportunities of digital fruition of CH. Considering this panorama, the presented work shows how the integration of these technologies gives a precious added value to the virtual fruition of CH. In particular, it has been con…
Leksiski stilistiskie līdzekļi Dž. R.R. Tolkīna garastāstā Kalējs no Lielās Vutonas
2017
Šajā darbā tiek pētīti leksiskie stilistiskie valodas izteiksmes līdzekļi Dž.R.R Tolkīna fantāzijas novelē Kalējs no Lielās Vutonas. Tolkīnam bija unikāls rakstīšanas stils, kurā galveno lomu spēlēja iztēle un alegoriska valoda, jo viņš uzskatīja, ka mītu vai pasakas būtību var pārnest izmantojot tikai šadu valodu. Kalējs no Lielas Vutonas bija Tolkīna pedējais literārais darbs, kurš tika izdots viņa dzīves laikā, un tajā bija daudz alegorieski tēli, kuri pēc pētnieku domām atspoguļoja Tolkīnas dzīvi. Šis pētijums tika veikts, lai noteiktu leksiski stilistisko līdzekļu nozīmi un funkciju izvēlēta fantāzijas novelē. Ar teksta analīzes metodes palīdzību tika noteikti un analizēti leksiski sti…
Tēlainas valodas elementi TED prezentācijās
2020
Šī bakalaura darba mērķis bija atklāt, kāds ir iemesls, kāpēc epiteti, metaforas un hiperbolas tiek izmantotas TED prezentācijās, kas tālāk iedalās kādu epitetu un metaforu veidi tika izmantoti šajās prezentācijās, un atklāt, kad šie trīs specifiskie tēlainas valodas elementi tiek izmantoti. Izpētot šī pētījuma teorētisko daļu, kas sastāvēja no vairāku autoru sniegtajām definīcijām, tika secināts, ka šie trīs tēlainas valodas elementi publiskajās runās veic ievērojamu lomu, pievienojot tēlainību, vērš uzmanību un izplata informāciju. Un pēc daudzu TED prezentāciju videoierakstu novērošanas, divdesmit no tām tika izvēlētas tālākai izmeklēšanai, kur kļuva skaidrs, ka visi no tiem ietver vairā…
Varoņu attēlojuma analīze spēlē “Leģendu līga”
2022
Šajā pētījumā analizēti trīs reģionu apraksti un attiecīgo čempionu biogrāfijas, kas atrodami Leģendu Līgas stāstā. Pašlaik esošie pētījumi par spēļu varoņiem pētījums ir saistīti ar varoņu dzimumu vai citiem aspektiem. Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot rakstura īpašības, kas veicina rakstura atveidi, un noteikt, kādi izteiksmes līdzekļi tiek izmantoti, lai šīs īpašības uzsvērtu stāstā. Pētījuma jautājums bija vērsts uz čempiona piederības noteikšanu konkrētajam reģionam pēc attiecīgajām īpašībām. Pētījums veikts, izmantojot tematisko analīzi. Rezultāti atklāja, ka čempioni galvenokārt tika attēloti pēc kognitīvajām īpašībām. Rakstura īpašību aspektu paspilgtināšanai vai pastiprināšanai visva…
Percepción de los estudiantes universitarios ante una actividad audiovisual con dispositives móviles: un estudio de caso.
2020
El presente estudio radica en el interés que aportan las manifestaciones de los estudiantes universitarios de Magisterio, futuros maestros, desde una vertiente cualitativa y, en menor medida, cuantitativa, sobre el uso de los dispositivos portables, en concreto los teléfonos móviles con apoyo de la red social Facebook, en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Se trata de una experiencia educativa centrada en la creación de audiovisuales mediante dispositivos móviles. Los resultados avalan, por un lado, la importancia que los discentes atribuyen al recurso y la motivación que les genera el uso de estas innovadoras metodologías con TIC. Otorgan valor a la necesidad de actualizarse tecnológic…
