Socio-emotional Experience in Human Technology Interaction Design – A Fashion Framework Proposal

2021

Technology designers and developers can be understood as social experience (SE) mediators. In user experience (UX), notions of SE have served to identify and define the factors contributing to human-technology interaction (HTI). Three dominant perspectives have been promoted in UX discourse: 1) SE of brand, brand value and consumer culture; 2) technology design as mediator of human-to-human interactions; and 3) meaning generation through action and interaction between actors. Symbolic interactionalism understands meaning as occurring through dialogue, in the construction of the social self, promoting self-reflection as a social construction. This theorisation of social experience is valuabl…

Le non-public et la culture. Une étude de cas en banlieue

2012

Photographic exhibitions are organized since 2004 on the banks of the river Marne at Fleury-la-Rivière within the context of an annual event --the Festival de l'Oh!, initiated by the conseil général of the Val-de-Marne. This type of exhibition does not succeed in attracting the "non-public". The representations held by the people concerned can block their interaction with the works presented on such a public space. This study is part of an on-going general study of the non-public and its relation to culture. This is a qualitative study carried out in various "stops" of the Festival de l'Oh! The paper is only concerned with immigrants met in housing estates in the upper districts of Fleury.

Howard S. Becker e gli “approcci moderni” nello studio dei problemi sociali

2018

The article discusses the intellectual biography of sociologist Howard S. Becker taking into account his contribution to the sociological study of social problems. Becker believes in the possibility of an objective study of the properties of social problems. However he admits that the objective properties of a phenomenon are neither sufficient nor necessary to define something as a “social problem”.

L'ÉMOTION ET LA RAISON : L'EFFET MODÉRATEUR DU GENRE SUR LE COMPORTEMENT D'ACHAT EN LIGNE

2018

RESUMEN: A pesar de la evidencia existente en torno a las diferencias entre mujeres y hombres en los procesos de toma de decisiones, así como en la adopción de la tecnología, la investigación llevada a cabo hasta la fecha no ha sido concluyente. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar las intenciones comportamentales de los consumidores según su género en los intercambios comerciales B2c. En este sentido, se propone identificar cómo el valor funcional -representando el raciocinio del consumidor-, el valor simbólico -representando la motivación emocional- y la confianza actúan como antecedentes de la intención de compra en el canal online. A partir de los resultados derivados de una investig…

Guaranteed error bounds for linear algebra problems and a class of Picard-Lindelöf iteration methods

2012

This study focuses on iteration methods based on the Banach fixed point theorem and a posteriori error estimates of Ostrowski. Their application for systems of linear simultaneous equations, bounded linear operators, as well as integral and differential equations is considered. The study presents a new version of the Picard–Lindelöf method for ordinary differential equations (ODEs) supplied with guaranteed and explicitly computable upper bounds of the approximation error. The estimates derived in the thesis take into account interpolation and integration errors and, therefore, provide objective information on the accuracy of computed approximations.

Racial Stratification of Traditional Medicine’s Consumption in South Africa

2018

Introduction: Post-apartheid South Africa remains highly stratified on variable grounds including race. The 8.9 percent (whites) of the total population has an average income per capita that is five times higher than that of 79.2 percent (blacks). Socio-economic inequalities are embedded in a ‘culture of consumption’ which includes the availability of goods for sale and the marketization of basic human life experiences including health. Study Objective: The objective of this review was to ascertain the racial status quo in traditional medicines consumption. Results: Literature shows that the consumption of traditional medicines is saturated within the Black population at 72 percent whilst d…

Il senso e il futuro della coscienza individuale nella metafisica di Piero Martinetti

2018

L'articolo intende analizzare la posizione di Martinetti sulla sopravvivenza dell'anima individuale dopo la morte, così come si presenta nella sua metafisica e alla luce della sua principale fonte di ispirazione, individuata nella filosofia di Plotino. Martinetti mostra come il rapporto tra unità e molteplicità si presenti nell'uomo in due diverse e complementari prospettive: come una fondamentale identità nella dimensione intemporale della vita intelligibile dello spirito, e come una tensione dinamica nell'ordine empirico del divenire spazio-temporale. Entrambe queste dimensioni si esprimono finalisticamente, attratte dall’Uno che opera in loro come potenza di armonizzazione e raccogliment…
