Crowdboard: Augmenting in-person idea generation with real-time crowds

2017

Online crowds can help infuse creativity into the design process, but traditional strategies for leveraging them, such as large-scale ideation platforms, require time and organizational effort in order to obtain results. We propose a new method for crowd-based ideation that simplifies the process by having smaller crowds join in-person ideators during synchronous creative sessions. Our system Crowdboard allows online crowds to provide real-time creative input during early-stage design activities, such as brainstorming or concept mapping. The system enables in-person ideators to develop ideas on a physical or digital whiteboard which is augmented with real-time creative input from online par…

Apoyo social como factor protector frente a la violencia contra la mujer en la pareja

2008

ResumenObjetivoDescribir la relación entre la presencia de apoyo social global y de diferentes fuentes y la violencia de pareja en mujeres que acuden a centros de atención primaria por cualquier motivo de consulta.MétodoEstudio transversal en 1.402 mujeres de entre 18 y 65 años elegidas aleatoriamente en 23 consultas de atención primaria de las comunidades autónomas de Andalucía, Madrid y Valencia en el año 2003. La información sobre características sociodemográficas, maltrato físico, psicológico y sexual, y apoyo social, fue recogida mediante un cuestionario anónimo y autoadministrado.ResultadosEl 32% de las mujeres refirió haber sufrido algún tipo de maltrato (físico, psicológico o sexual…

La dimensión social del lenguaje como una oportunidad educativa para la promoción del diálogo intercultural en el aula de Educación Superior

2021

[EN] For some time, it has been considered the need to approach the educational experience to the student sociocultural reality in the context of a classroom in Higher Education. This need is even more evident in the context of international exchange programs, in which the main objective is precisely to provide a space for mutual enrichment between the student's culture of origin and the host culture. In this sense, the “Grup d’Acompanyament Lingüístic” (GRUPal) works to promote the intercultural dialogue that inevitably and spontaneously takes place in and outside the classroom. The purpose of this paper is to present a didactic intervention based on inclusion and cooperative exchange as w…

The influence of innovation stimulus, facilitating factors and support mechanisms on innovation performance in Brazilian small textile firms

2020

The ability of the organisation to develop new products is crucial in rapidly changing business environments, and thus, customer demographics, consumers' expectations and buying behaviour play an important role. Hence, exploring the antecedents of innovation performance becomes more important. This study analyses the relationships among innovation stimulus, facilitating factors and support mechanisms for innovative performance in the textile industry of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The sample included 128 respondents, who were all employees of five small and medium-sized textile firms; data were analysed using structural equation modelling. We found that innovation stimulus, facilitating factors…

Proton and Electron Transfer to a Polymer‐Supported Nitrido Molybdenum(VI) Complex

2013

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Katja Heinze at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany. The cover image shows the reactive imido molybdenum(V) intermediate that has been obtained by protonation followed by reduction of the nitrido molybdenum(VI) precursor anchored to a polymeric environment.

Studien zum Vorgang der Wasserstoffübertragung, 49: Zur Frage der Auslösung einer optischen Induktion durch Anwendung optisch aktiver Ephedrinderivat…

1978

Die quartaren Ephedriniumsalze 1–5 sowie die bekannten Kronenether 6 und 7 werden als Leitsalze bei der Elektroreduktion von Acetophenon eingesetzt. Hierbei wird das Produktverhaltnis: sekundarer Alkohol (A) zum Diol (B) sowie die optische Induktion von A wesentlich durch das Leitsalz beeinflust. Es wird hieraus der Schlus gezogen, das weniger die Elektrosorption der Leitsalze an die Quecksilberoberflache als vielmehr feldbedingte Orientierungs- und Assoziations-phanomene zwischen optisch aktivem Leitsalz und prochiralem Substrat im diffusen Bereich der elektrochemischen Doppelschicht wirksam sind.

Highly Loaded Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Non-Covalently Modified with a Bis-Imidazolium Salt and their Use as Catalyst Supports

2016

The surfaces of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were non-covalently modified using two bis-imidazolium dibromide derivatives having phenyl or pyrene groups. Due to the presence of the two pyrene groups the bis(pyren-1-ylmethylimidazolium) dibromide derivative was immobilised at a loading of about 15-16 wt %, whereas only <3 wt % of the phenyl derivative was immobilised. The presence of the two imidazolium cations helped the immobilisation of tetrachloropalladate ions after exchange with bromide ions. Tetrachloropalladate was used as pre-catalyst in several Suzuki-Miyaura carbon-carbon cross-coupling reactions in water or water/ethanol at 50 °C in only 0.1 mol % and compared with the …

Neural networks as effective techniques in clinical management of patients: some case studies

2004

In this paper, we present four examples of effective implementation of neural systems in the daily clinical practice. There are two main goals in this work; the first one is to show that neural networks are especially well-suited tools for solving different kind of medical/pharmaceutical problems, given the complex input output relationships and the few a priori knowledge about data distribution and variable relations. The second goal is to develop specific software applications, which enclose complex mathematical models, to clinicians; thus, the use of such models as decision support systems is facilitated. Four important pharmaceutical problems are considered in this study: identificatio…
