Applying Axial Symmetries to Historical Silk Fabrics: SILKNOW’s Virtual Loom

2020

Symmetry is part of textile art in patterns and motifs that decorate fabrics, which are made by the interlacement of warp and wefts. Moreover, the 3D representation of fabrics have already been studied by some authors

Virtual Museum and Small Museums : ViMuseo.fi Project

2011

New media are a huge opportunity and challenge for museums, especially for small institutions without digitized resources. The ViMuseo.fi is a research project conducted at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. The research focuses on the possibilities of new media in presenting cultural heritage in small Finnish museums. As a part of the research, a tool to present small museums on the Web was developed. The ViMuseo tool is a CMS for creating multimedia presentations, and was designed specifically for small institutions without digitized resources. The possible deployment of the tool is also discussed. peerReviewed

Virtudes escolares percibidas por estudiantes y docentes ecuatorianos: diferencias según sexo, establecimiento y roles

2020

El objetivo del estudio es evaluar la virtuosidad percibida en organizaciones escolares y las diferencias por tipo de centro educativo (fiscal, municipal); sexo (mujer, hombre) y rol (estudiantes, docentes). Se trató de un estudio instrumental basado en el análisis de la estructura factorial y la fiabilidad de un cuestionario para evaluar virtudes percibidas en escuelas (VPOE); y, de un estudio descriptivo transversal que analizó diferencias por sexo, rol y tipo de organizaciones escolares con relación a las virtudes percibidas. Se trabajó con una muestra de 550 estudiantes (49.28 % mujeres) y 105 docentes (47.62% mujeres). El análisis factorial determinó un modelo de cuatro factores que pe…

Relations between representational consistency, conceptual understanding of the force concept, and scientific reasoning

2012

Previous physics education research has raised the question of “hidden variables” behind students’ success in learning certain concepts. In the context of the force concept, it has been suggested that students’ reasoning ability is one such variable. Strong positive correlations between students’ preinstruction scores for reasoning ability (measured by Lawson’s Classroom Test of Scientific Reasoning) and their learning of forces [measured by the Force Concept Inventory (FCI)] have been reported in high school and university introductory courses. However, there is no published research concerning the relation between students’ ability to interpret multiple representations consistently (i.e.,…

Le lave. Gli usi ornamentali nell'architettura storica in Sicilia

2012

L’attività vulcanica in Sicilia e nelle isole limitrofe ha nel corso dei millenni contribuito a modellare l’aspetto fisico di un vasto comprensorio, generando sconfinati giacimenti naturali di materiale lapideo impiegato fin dall’età antica nell’attività edificatoria. Relativamente all’utilizzo in architettura, va sottolineata l’ambivalenza di questo materiale chiamato nei secoli a svolgere tanto la funzione di pietra da costruzione, quanto quella di pietra ornamentale. Catania e l’intera area etnea, ma anche l’isola di Lipari, conservano le testimonianze più consistenti e significative di un ricorso ab antiquo alla pietra lavica e ai suoi derivati in architettura. Da una ricognizione compl…

The relationships between urbanization and bird functional traits across the streetscape

2023

Publisher Copyright: © 2023 The Authors The urbanization process leads to changes in bird communities’ taxonomic and functional compositions. Highly urbanized areas generally exhibit a reduced number of bird species sharing few functional traits. However, most urban bird studies focused on vegetation patches in temperate cities. In this study, we investigate how urban environmental attributes – noise, height of buildings, and urban vegetation characteristics – modulate species occurrences and the distribution of functional traits across the streetscape of a tropical metropolis. We predicted diverse trait-environment relationships, but that highly urbanized contexts (e.g., noisy streets with…

Traces of the past: an interview study with Finnish war children who did not return to Finland after the Second World War

2017

ABSTRACTThis paper is an in-depth qualitative study based on interviews with 10 Finnish children who were evacuated to Sweden during Second World War and who did not return to Finland after the war. The interviewees were asked to tell about their lives. Nine of them were between 2 and 5 years and one was 7 years old at the time of evacuation. The aim was to study how their childhood experiences were reflected in adult memories, how they remembered or did not remember. This paper focuses on the consequences of not knowing about one’s early life and also on whether it is possible to observe signs of the Finnish mother. She did not appear explicitly but could be sensed in the tendency of the i…
