Design of mobile phones for older adults : An empirical analysis of design guidelines and checklists for feature phones and smartphones
2017
Design guidelines and checklists are suggested as a useful tool in the development and evaluation of interface design of mobile phones for older adults. Given the intense evolution of mobile phone design, understanding how the design guidelines and checklists have taken into account the advances in mobile phone usability for older adults is important for their correct application and future development. Thus, this study explores the usability dimensions of mobile phone design for older adults and the related changes in terms of time and the type of device (feature phones vs. smartphones) based on an expert coding of the eight mobile phone design guidelines and checklists for older adults pu…
Explaining classroom teachers’ attitudes towards inclusive education
2019
Teacher attitudes have been identified as an important resource when striving towards inclusive education as defined in the Salamanca Statement (1994). This study surveyed some key factors associated with teacher attitudes towards inclusion. The participants were 1,456 classroom teachers in Finnish primary schools who were asked about their readiness to include in their classrooms a student with a specified special educational need (SEN). The results were reviewed in association with some background variables, including workload concerns, evaluation of professional skills and the opportunity to get extra support if needed. The results show that classroom teachers’ positive attitudes towards…
Welcome to M-Campus : raising awareness of skills and motivation through an electronic learning module

The use of phonemic transcriptions as a teaching method and its effects on language learning outcomes
2009
Kirjaimet ainoastaan kuvaavat kieltä. Äänteet ovat se, mitä todella kuulemme. Virheelliset ääntämistottumukset jättävät aivoihin harhaanjohtavia muistijälkiä ja edistävät näin väärinymmärrysten syntymistä. Tämä puolestaan voi johtaa siihen, että henkilö pidättäytyy puhumasta vierasta kieltä, minkä seurauksena on edistymisen hidastuminen. Oheisen tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, voisiko foneettisen tarkekirjoituksen käytöllä opetusmenetelmänä olla myönteisiä vaikutuksia oppimistuloksiin. Tutkielmassa tarkastellaan oikeiden ääntämistottumusten roolia kieltenopiskelussa. Siinä luodaan myös katsaus aikaisempiin kokemuksin foneettisen tarkekirjoituksen pedagogisesta käytöstä. Lopuksi esi…
Edutec : revista electrónica de tecnología educativa
2013
Resumen tomado de la publicación La aparición de pizarras digitales interactivas en las aulas y la posibilidad de asociarlas a las TIC ha permitido investigar nuevos cauces de comunicación entre el profesorado y el alumnado. Las pizarras digitales a parte de utilizar elementos multimedia: imágenes, sonidos, vídeos, etc. también pueden asociarse a las TIC para compartir de manera automática con el alumnado todos los contenidos que se muestran en ellas. Tomando como base esta idea hemos creado la aplicación web “Pizarra digital en casa” URL: http://hortamajor.edu.gva.es/pizarraencasa. ESP
Educación XX1 : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2019
Los avances tecnológicos han provocado que el ámbito de la educación se vea influenciado por la aparición de nuevos modelos de enseñanza y aprendizaje mediados por la gran cantidad de recursos digitales y dispositivos electrónicos que cuenta hoy el profesorado. Uno de los enfoques metodológicos que está emergiendo como consecuencia de la innovación educativa es el flipped learning. Este modelo de enseñanza y aprendizaje se sustenta en la idea de que los discentes puedan visualizar y trabajar los contenidos de las próximas sesiones presenciales en el aula fuera del entorno académico, con la finalidad de dedicar el mayor tiempo posible en clase a la resolución de problemas y al despliegue de …
The hyperspectral and smartphone technology in CBRNE countermeasures and defence
2016
Caused by industrial and military use as well as other sources of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) materials, the global threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) remains in spite of such weapons being internationally prohibited. With these materials, industrial and transportation accidents are likely in all countries and can also be triggered by natural disasters, such as in Fukushima in 2011. In addition, governments cannot fully control the manufacturing and usage of WMDs, as extreme terrorists have access to as well as the knowledge and motivation to use such materials. Due to multiple large-scale risks, the countering of CBRNE threats requ…
Atmospheric brightening counteracts warming‐induced delays in autumn phenology of temperate trees in Europe
2021
Aim: Ongoing climate warming has been widely reported to delay autumn phenology, which in turn impacts carbon, water, energy and nutrient balances at regional and global scales. However, the underlying mechanisms of autumn phenology responses to climate change have not been fully elucidated. The aims of this study were to determine whether brightening that was defined as the increase of surface solar radiation and warming during recent decades affect autumn phenology in opposite directions and explore the underlying mechanisms. Location: Central Europe. Time period: 1950–2016. Major taxa studied: Four dominant European tree species in central Europe: Aesculus hippocastanum, Betula pendula, …
Efficient techniques for fault detection and location of multiple controlled Toffoli-based reversible circuit
2021
It is very important to detect and correct faults for ensuring the validity and reliability of these circuits. In this regard, a comparative study with related existing techniques is undertaken. Two techniques to achieve the testability of reversible circuits are introduced that have been improved in terms of quantum cost and fault coverage rate. Considering this aspect, the main focus of these techniques is on the efficient detection and location of faults with 100% accuracy. These techniques for fault detection in reversible circuit design, in addition to being able to produce the correct outputs, can also provide information for fault location that has already been done at a higher cost.…
Toward modernizing the systematic review pipeline in genetics: efficient updating via data mining
2012
Purpose: The aim of this study was to demonstrate that modern data mining tools can be used as one step in reducing the labor necessary to produce and maintain systematic reviews. Methods: We used four continuously updated, manually curated resources that summarize MEDLINE-indexed articles in entire fields using systematic review methods (PDGene, AlzGene, and SzGene for genetic determinants of Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, and schizophrenia, respectively; and the Tufts Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) Registry for cost-effectiveness analyses). In each data set, we trained a classification model on citations screened up until 2009. We then evaluated the ability of the model to class…
