Computer-supported collaboration in a scripted 3-D game environment
2005
The particular focus of this paper is on scripting collaboration in a 3-D virtual game environment intended to make learning more effective, but also take into account the risk of over-scripting learning. The empirical experiment eScape, which encourages learners to solve problems collaboratively, is also presented. This study attempts to find out whether the features of 3-D games can be used to create meaningful scripted collaborative learning environments. The results indicated that scripting persuaded student teams to enter into collaboration, but the actual processes varied.
Special Section on ITS Services to Smart City Context [Guest Editorial]
2018
The seven articles in this special section focus on new trends and developments in the intelligent transportation markets. Since the earliest of times, transportation has changed and revolutionized society and industry. Many of technology advances were focused on transportation and their means (road, rail, air, water, etc.) even, today there exist several areas of the knowledge that are focused on it. As time goes by, new terms have been established where technology is present as well, for instance, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Smart Cities, Smart Territory, Blockchain, Internet of Things, virtualization, Cloud computing, Intelligent Vehicles, embedded computing, Deep learning,…

Las razones para perdonar. Concepciones populares o teorías implícitas
2007
Data gathered on adolescents and adults from general population, living in Buenos Aires City and its suburban area, as well as on prison inmates and theology students (N: 1715) are presented. Participants answered an open question: Is important for you to be able to forgive? Yes. No. Why? Subjects mostly admit that to forgive is important for them. For theology students forgiveness is a central theme of Christian thinking. A religious dimension is also present among prison inmates who are the only group that relates to forgive with loving someone. For younger people forgiveness allows to have a second chance after making something wrong and facilitates feelings of inner peace. Men show a t…
Tecniche avanzate per il rilevamento e la valorizzazione dei beni culturali. La chiesa rupestre di San Nicolò a Modica (RG)
2011
La Geomatica mette oggi a disposizione degli operatori che a vario titolo si occupano di beni culturali (storici, tecnici delle Soprintendenze, specialisti del recupero e del restauro, o anche solo studiosi) tecniche e strumentazioni di rilevamento sempre più veloci, accurate, affidabili. Spesso, la complessità della geometria dei manufatti da rilevare richiede l’uso di metodologie differenti ma integrate fra loro. Questo è, ad esempio, il caso del rilevamento della chiesa rupestre di San Nicolò a Modica per il quale si è fatto ricorso all’impiego di tecniche laser-scanning e fotogrammetriche digitali integrate. Questa integrazione ha permesso di ottenere un modello 3D virtuale foto realist…
Viajes a Francia para el estudio de la química, 1770-1833
2001
[ES] Los viajes científicos a Francia durante último tercio del siglo XVIII y el primero del siglo XIX son generalmente considerados, por diversas razones, como una importante cuestión en el desarrollo de la ciencia española de ese período. Los viajes científicos de los pensionados y comisionados de la Ilustración suelen estudiarse como un vehículo de transmisión de nuevas ideas científicas. Por el contrario, el exilio de autores afrancesados y liberales suele valorarse negativamente, como una de las causas de la decadencia de la ciencia española del primer tercio del siglo XIX. En este trabajo se pretende ofrecer un marco general para el estudio de estos viajes y presentar algunas de las p…

Duques, princesas y arzobispos: la fecha de redacción de Virtud, pobreza y mujer, de Lope de Vega
2021
En este artículo se aportan las razones oportunas para considerar que la comedia 'Virtud, pobreza y mujer', de Lope de Vega, se escribió a comienzos de 1616, frente a la opinión mayoritaria de la crítica, que hasta ahora se había inclinado por fecharla en un periodo comprendido entre 1612 y 1615. Los indicios a este respecto se encuentran en el segundo acto de la obra: se trata de una serie de referencias a circunstancias concretas, fechables todas ellas en 1616, ligadas a personajes del momento, tales como el arzobispo Pedro González de Mendoza y Silva (1571-1639), la princesa - y futura reina - Isabel de Borbón (1602-1644) y, finalmente, Jorge de Cárdenas y Manrique (ca. 1592-1644), cuart…
Luoghi reali e luoghi virtuali della filosofia: il Mosè di Michelangelo
2018
La storia della cultura è legata ai luoghi e al divenire della storia umana, nella duplice connotazione sincronica e diacronica secondo le categorie suggerite dall’antropologia e dalle scienze umane dell’età contemporanea. In tal senso non esiste una dimensione culturale astratta; giacché ogni espressione dell’uomo va correlata allo spazio e al tempo nella dimensione della geografia digitale. In effetti la geografia, posta a confronto con la storia, ad inizio del XXI secolo, è da esporre nel rispetto delle nuove e recenti esperienze del web. Di conseguenza anche la filosofia risulta essere una forma peculiare di geografia legata alla storia o di storia legata alla geografia. Un esempio embl…
