Las salidas de campo en España como recurso didáctico para la enseñanza de la Geografía. Una revisión bibliográfica
2019
La enseñanza de la Geografía debe orientarse hacia la formación de estudiantes que posean las destrezas de comprender y analizar el territorio a través de la localización y distribución de hechos relevantes, así como que sean capaces de obtener, analizar y aplicar dicha información a los diferentes contextos de la vida cotidiana. El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una revisión bibliográfica de trabajos de investigación sobre las salidas de campo en España desde el campo de la Geografía e identificación de las principales temáticas de estudio (1980-2018). Tras el análisis de los resultados, se han identificado 4 temáticas principa les: 1) La potencialidad que tienen las salidas de campo…
Epilogue: Designing for Life
2016
The main criterion for HTI design is that it should not only concern the development of a technical artefact and the design of the immediate usage situation, but also help illustrate how technologies can advance the quality of human life. People should be motivated to adopt and use technology by the added value it can bring to everyday life to help them accomplish their goals. The question of how much a technology can improve the quality of human life defines the worth of the particular technology.
Affective reactions to musical stimuli reflect emotional use of music in everyday life
2013
Music is a common means for regulating affective states in everyday life, but little is known about the individual differences in this behaviour. We investigated affective reactions to musical stimuli as an explanatory factor. Forty-four young adults rated self-selected music regarding perceived and felt emotions, preference, pleasantness and beauty. The ratings were reduced into five factors representing affective response tendencies. The participants also filled in the Music in Mood Regulation (MMR) questionnaire assessing seven music-related mood regulation strategies in everyday life. High beauty and pleasantness ratings for liked music correlated with the use of music for inducing str…
¿Qué sabe el alumnado de secundaria sobre la Unión Europea? Implicaciones para el aprendizaje
2017
El desarrollo de la Dimensión Europea en la Educación es un objetivo vinculado a la construcción de la identidad europea y al ejercicio de una ciudadanía activa crítica y responsable. El artículo analiza el conocimiento de los estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria sobre la Unión Europea. En el estudio participaron 705 alumnos de cinco centros de educación secundaria obligatoria de cuatro comunidades autónomas españolas. Se diseñó una prueba de veinticuatro ítems sobre: a) las instituciones europeas, b) la historia de la cooperación europea, c) la ciudadanía Europea, d) Europa en la vida cotidiana, e) la identidad social y cultural, y f) derechos humanos y responsabilidades.

Characterizing cognitive problem-solving strategies in patients’ everyday life: The case of patients with Type 1 diabetes
2021
Introduction:Numerous quantitative studies have shown the importance of executive functions (planning, attention, inhibition, and short-term memory) for diabetes treatment compliance. Those studies also point to the paucity of data on action strategies employed by persons with diabetes. The aim of this study is to characterize the action strategies used in six situations typically encountered by persons with Type 1 diabetes (no comorbidities).Methods:This qualitative multiple-case study concerns adult patients with no comorbidities. Eighteen patients were presented with six clinical vignettes portraying emblematic situations and then interviewed. After categorization, the 108 situations wer…
Implicit Learning of Regularities in Western Tonal Music by Self-Organization
2001
Western tonal music is a highly structured system whose regularities are implicitly learned in everyday life. A hierarchical self-organizing network simulates learning of tonal regularities by mere exposure to musical material. The trained network provides a parsimonious account of empirical findings on perceived tone, chord and key relationships and suggests activation as a unifying mechanism underlying a range of cognitive tasks.
A framework for IoT service experiment platforms in smart-city environments
2016
Cities provide an excellent platform for gathering and detection of massive amount of data from cities and citizens. Emergence of new digital technologies inspires not only city governments but also city residents, researchers, companies and other stakeholders in discovering and creating new innovative solutions to solve urban challenges and improve peoples´ everyday life. Developing novel Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for cities and citizens requires facilities where IoT applications and services can be tested and experimented. The challenge for many smart-city test and experimentation platforms (TEPs), like living labs, has been the lack of sustainable value creation model. This has …
Human Factors Affecting the Patient’s Acceptance of Wireless Biomedical Sensors
2008
In monitoring arrhythmia, the quality of medical data from the ECG sensors may be enhanced by being based on everyday life situations. Hence, the development of wireless biomedical sensors is of growing interest, both to diagnose the heart patient, as well as to adjust the regimen. However, human factors such as emotional barriers and stigmatization, may affect the patient’s behavior while wearing the equipment, which in turn may influence quality of data. The study of human factors and patient acceptance is important both in relation to the development of such equipment, as well as in evaluating the quality of data gathered from the individual patient. In this paper, we highlight some impo…
Leisure, Social Capital and Life Turns in Deviant Youth
2017
The production of social capital in a specific area of everyday life such as leisure time and the different socio-cultural contexts it is experienced in is a very interesting research issue, especially in the light of certain pecific meanings of the notion of social capital, such as Bourdieu's or, more recently, Putnam's. Nonetheless, this research issue is scarcely taken into consideration in Italy. Albeit inexaustively, this paper intends to introduce this issue starting from a brief review on the generation of social capital in youth's leisure time contexts. In the first paragraph I problematize the notion of social capital as referred to leisure time "contexts" as well as analyze either…
L'invenzione nel quotidiano
2018
Michel de Certeau in the book "The Practice of Everyday Life" proposes the dimension of creativity as a widespread and multidirectional process, fueled by social dynamics and individual "tactics", able to evade and transform the sense and the objectives of knowledge and institutional powers. The text sets out some elements of the complex thought of the French scholar, useful to enrich the debate, the language and the visions of contemporary design. In fact nowadays the notions of "invention" and "everyday life" are recurrent in the design discourse, especially with reference to the emergence of a society founded on the diffusion of network technologies, data accumulation, artificial intelli…
