    Urban explorations in digital serious games: educational paths for learning from the city

    No full text
    Learning can be fostered by technologies through devices aimed at embedded exploration of physical and digital spaces, which provide for the immersion and involvement of users in transformative experiences also based on play. The paper reflects on the relations between learning and game and the potential of digital serious games for knowledge acquisition and skill development. With the purpose of exploring the educational potential and limitations of digital serious games, the contribution analyses an app aimed at learning in an immersive environment: the Explorial app. In the context of urban exploration, the app offers informative content with the aim of fostering knowledge of the city through an outdoor experience. Explorial learning paths and game challenges are intended for adult groups, require collaboration and team-building skills, and foster awareness of spatial meanings and values

    FINITE-DIFFERENCE METHODS IN THE ANALYSIS OF TRANSPORT PHENOMENA IN FRACTAL STRUCTURES

    No full text
    A numerical scheme is proposed for analyzing transport phenomena in disordered media which satisfies the conservation principle. In order to validate the finite difference formulation, the analysis of usual Brownian motion on fractals is developed, the scaling of P(r, t) discussed and steady-state profile analyzed. The role of fluid dynamic conditions is addressed by means of two applications: gas velocity under Darcy regime and incompressible irrotational flow around a fractal cluster

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Heritage education, intelligenza artificiale e welfare culturale: modelli e pratiche per l’inclusione.

    La rimozione degli ostacoli a luoghi, servizi, prodotti e attività culturali presuppone particolare attenzione all’autonomia, all’autodeterminazione e alla qualità della vita, ponendo al centro le persone. In questo modo le differenze costituiscono una risorsa a vantaggio di tutti per l’esercizio dei diritti culturali e per sperimentare nuovi modi della comunicazione, della ricezione artistica e dell’apprendimento. Da qui la necessità di fornire nuovi servizi nell’ambito della fruizione del patrimonio culturale, stabilendo standard di qualità condivisi e reti con i sistemi circostanti, grazie anche all’innovazione tecnologica. Il contributo, dopo una disamina dello stato dell’arte, presenta uno studio di caso che vede la collaborazione tra università e imprese culturali innovative volta a garantire l’accessibilità mediante un approccio ecosistemico integrato con il coinvolgimento di un’ampia gamma di stakeholders che operano in sinergia all’interno di una cornice di governance
