The Studio: Reflections and Issues Arising

1999

An advanced Telematic Studio was built at the University of Jyvaskyla to combine the latest technologies for local and distributed work and/or meetings. The objectives were to combine leading edge technologies with ethnographic design principles derived from CSCW and HCI to support a broad range of activities. We informed the design by studies of similar facilities on other sites. The Studio is popular, and it is easy to give glowing accounts of its use. Nevertheless, over three years a significant number of problems have arisen with both technologies and uses. Some of these are local. Others may be generalisable to any ‘cooperative building’. For example: problems with videoconferencing; i…

Matching beer with food : pairing principles, underlying mechanisms and a focus on aromatic similarity

2018

Pairing between beer and dishes emerges as a new trend in France. Beer promoters or gastronomy professionals need to offer high-quality advices in terms of beer and food pairing to their customers. Within this context, the objective of the research was to identify pairing principles and to better understand the underlying perceptual mechanisms. Determinants of food and beverage pairing were first analysed from experts’ discourses. Results showed that food and beverage pairings are governed by perceptual, conceptual and affective features, related to physio-chemical, perceptual and cognitive processes. Experts often mentioned “Aromatic Similarity” as one of the main pairing principles. This …

The mechanically-based approach to 3D non-local linear elasticity theory: Long-range central interactions

2010

Abstract This paper presents the generalization to a three-dimensional (3D) case of a mechanically-based approach to non-local elasticity theory, recently proposed by the authors in a one-dimensional (1D) case. The proposed model assumes that the equilibrium of a volume element is attained by contact forces between adjacent elements and by long-range forces exerted by non-adjacent elements. Specifically, the long-range forces are modelled as central body forces depending on the relative displacement between the centroids of the volume elements, measured along the line connecting the centroids. Further, the long-range forces are assumed to be proportional to a proper, material-dependent, dis…

Bridging the gap between research and practice : using phenomenographic findings to develop training for career practitioners

2021

AbstractThis study contends that phenomenography offers both a useful research method and practical tools for developing education and training for career practitioners. After introducing the basic principles of phenomenography, the study reviews previous research on its potential in developing pedagogical practices. It explores how the phenomenographic findings were utilized to design an online skills training programme for career practitioners. The study finds that phenomenographic research serves three practical pedagogical purposes: (1) revealing how learners understand certain concepts or phenomena, (2) elucidating how these understandings differ; and (3) identifying critical aspects i…

Pedagogika katolicka – znaczenie i aktualność w kontekście chaosu wartości (perspektywa polska)

2017

Education cannot be reduced to information and should guarantee to the students and their parents the freedom of making axiological decisions and solutions. The above mentioned right is confimed by the right of parents to raise their children according to their own conceptions. In the contemporary chaos of values and principles of education the Catholic education remains a topical, interesting and important proposal for school.

The principles of bioethics and the growth of an intercultural bioethics

2010

En este trabajo defiendo que el debate internacional sobre los principios de la bioética es uno de los más fructíferos para construir los fundamentos de una bioética intercultural. Tras recordar en qué consisten los principios de la bioética, tal y como han sido defendidos por Tom L. Beauchamp y James F. Childress en Estados Unidos, ofrezco una breve mirada a estos principios desde Europa, América Latina, África y Asia. Continúo con una reflexión sobre dichos principios desde algunas de las grandes religiones del mundo. Todo ello me permite ofrecer importantes elementos para construir las bases de lo que podríamos llamar una «bioética intercultural». In this article, I defend that the inter…

La justicia tributaria en el ordenamiento plural

2016

La justicia ha sido objeto de estudio en las ciencias jurídicas desde sus comienzos. La mayoría de los ordenamientos han considerado, a lo largo de la historia, el valor superior de la justicia como uno de los fines del Derecho. Este principio y valor figura en la mayoría de las Cartas Magnas de los distintos Estados así como diversos tratados y convenio internacionales como la Declaración Universal de Derecho Humanos. Nuestra Constitución recoge en su preámbulo que la Nación Española desea establecer la justicia, la libertad y la seguridad y promover el bien de cuantos la integran, y su artículo 31 propone un sistema tributario justo como medio para sufragar los gastos públicos. Por lo que…

Knowledge Creation - A Perspective on the Development of Design Principles

2020

In this paper we reflect on and conceptualize on the development of design principles in a design process. We use the concept of ba to describe how design principles can be created when involving users, domain experts, designers and researchers in the design process. The study applies action design research (ADR) to design and develop a self-reflective career support tool for persons with intellectual disabilities (ID). We have applied processes of knowledge creation and their corresponding ba, the originating ba, the interacting ba, the systemizing ba and the exercising ba to conceptualize the development of design principles. Preliminary findings imply that a structured process of knowled…

The Applications of Cognitive Mechanism of Verbal Humour to the Adjustment of Depressive Mood

2018

Aims: To apply the findings of neurolinguistic research to the practical technological artifact design, the cognitive mechanism of verbal humour is comprehensively investigated and designed with EEG-based Brain Computer interfaces and Mobile Health, under the guidance of technology design theory, to help with the adjustment of depressive mood. Application Base: The intervention effect of verbal humour on depressive mood is rooted in their cognitive mechanisms. The right hemisphere of the brain has a dominant effect on both verbal humour and depressive mood; some specific brain regions, such as amygdala, nucleus accumbens, hippocampus etc., are particularly activated during the processing of…

2020

Abstract This article discusses a hypothesis recently put forward by Kanai et al., according to which information generation constitutes a functional basis of, and a sufficient condition for, consciousness. Information generation involves the ability to compress and subsequently decompress information, potentially after a temporal delay and adapted to current purposes. I will argue that information generation should not be regarded as a sufficient condition for consciousness, but could serve as what I will call a “minimal unifying model of consciousness.” A minimal unifying model (MUM) specifies at least one necessary feature of consciousness, characterizes it in a determinable way, and sho…
