Implications of Theories of Language for Information Systems
1985
This article demonstrates how language views can be adopted into an information systems context. We distinguish here between five language views: denotational, generative, cognitive, behavioristic, and interactionist. These views differ in their assumptions about he origin of linguistic behavior, the primary functions of language, elements of language, and the nature of linguistic knowledge. Information system development approaches can be characterized by their underlying language views. This explains great differences in development methods and research. Thus, language views have implications and should be chosen continency for a given information system context.
The Results of Changing the Current Solution Concept of Universal Motor Gear Reducers with Helical Gears
2021
By analysing and comparing the existing solutions of universal gear reducers with helical gears of the leading manufacturers, it can be noticed the effort to increase the load capacity of the gear reducer within the same axis height. In this way, the manufacturers can offer smaller (cheaper) gear reducers, as well as to simultaneously increase the values of the largest gear ratios. This concept enables the offer of lower-stage (cheaper) gear reducers with higher gear ratios in certain segments of gear ratios. By these efforts, it is reached the maximum, but the further increase is possible only by changing the current concept of universal gear drives. Within this paper, it is given an overv…
¿Es la razón universal?
2005
Es la razón universal? Esta es la pregunta que nos convoca. Una pregunta invita a la respuesta y es descortés evadirla. Así que contestaré, por mi parte, que sí lo es, que la razón es universal. Pero en filosofía parece que rigen unas formas de cortesía distintas a cuando estamos con los amigos divirtiéndonos, nos encontramos con nuestros vecinos o con un extraño. En esos casos es poco gentil demorar las respuestas a las preguntas o evadirlas descaradamente. Sin embargo, parece que cuando filosofamos ocurre todo lo contrario: no es de buen tono, no se ajusta a las buenas maneras contestar como yo lo hecho. De manera que como no quiero ser descortés, como quiero causarles una buena impresión…
The periodic reporting procedure of the United Nations System and the human right to water: opportunities and challenges
2020
A água é fundamental para a vida. Contudo, foi apenas nos anos 70 que o acesso a este bem começou a ser discutido, a nível internacional, como um direito humano. Antes disso, algumas Convenções e Tratados das Nações Unidas reconheciam, de alguma forma, o direito à água, mas tal direito tinha que ser inferido de outros direitos ou estava limitado à uma determinada categoria de pessoas. Independentemente das suas limitações, estes textos podem reforçar a aplicação do direito humano à água, especialmente através dos seus mecanismos de monitoramento: os relatórios periódicos e os casos litigiosos. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar em que medida o mecanismo de relatórios periódicos pode …
Disaster Risk Reduction for All? Understanding Intersectionality in Disaster Situations
2021
When designing digital services for citizens in a disaster situation, the diversity of its audience and their particular needs are not always sufficiently taken into account. Variables like digital equipment available, environment, disabilities, socio-economic status, etc., play a significant role in people’s ability to access and exchange important information through digital means. In this paper, we will examine some factors that lead to this inequality, and we see that they tend to boil down to a lack of awareness or focus on the diversity of the population, and this affects not only people with disabilities, but also other disadvantaged groups. More broadly, we will examine this in term…
Invarianti topologici e grammatiche universali
2006
Le nozioni di "invariante linguistico" e "universale di linguaggio" sono all'origine di numerose tensioni irrisolte nella riflessione epistemologica di tanti linguisti e filosofi della linguistica. Le ragioni principali di queste tensioni sono principalmente riconducibili ad alcuni rilievi critici così formulabili: 1)la nozione di invariante linguistico non è automaticamente riducibile alla nozione di universale di linguaggio. Gli invarianti con cui il linguista lavora sono solitamente invarianti "locali" ossia schemi operativi esclusivamente generalizzabili a gruppi specifici di lingue storico-naturali; 2) vi sono senz'altro degli invarianti che sono universali, ma si tratta di identità pr…

Universal Design of ICT for Emergency Management from Stakeholders’ Perspective
2020
While Universal Design principles have been adopted in many areas to ensure that products and services are usable for the broadest possible diversity of users, there is still an open area when it comes to the emergency management domain. This article aims at providing a systematic overview of the current state of the emerging research field of Universal Design of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Emergency Management, and to highlight high-impact research opportunities to ensure that the increasing introduction of ICT in Emergency Management can contribute to removing barriers instead of adding more barriers, in particular for the elderly and people with disabilities. A sys…
End-user ethics teaching: issues and a solution based on universalization
2005
The ethical aspects of computing have gained increasing attention at the professional level of education in universities. As a result, several works have been produced relating to computer ethics education at this level. However, the ever-increasing role and usage of computer technology means that ethical education related to computing is also necessary for non-professional/non-major computing/information systems students. Due to the differences between professional and non-professional education in terms of substance, along with pragmatic reasons (e.g. lack of resources), the ordinary end-users need a different educational program. This paper first explores issues (i.e. challenges and prob…
IDCnet: Inclusive Design Curriculum Network – First Results
2004
This paper presents the preliminary results of the IDCnet Thematic Network in regard to the development of curriculum recommendations for Higher Education institutions in the area of ICT that include Design for All. These recommendations are based upon discussion with relevant actors in industry and academia to identify core knowledge sets and skills.
