Inclusive Opportunities for Young Students with Disabilities Through Mixed Reality
No full textThis paper presents an innovative initiative aimed at enhancing cognitive abilities, fostering social inclusion, and promoting labor inclusion for young students with disabilities. Through the collaborative efforts of the ASPOC association, bachelor, and master degree students from Politecnico di Milano, Lecco Campus, we integrate Mixed Reality (MR) technology via the Meta Quest 3 device with hands-on training and assembly procedures using the Infento Kit. This holistic approach not only empowers young individuals with disabilities but also provides valuable experiential learning opportunities for university volunteers. The paper discusses the development of training and assembly procedures, the role of volunteer engagement, and the potential impact on cognitive, social, and vocational outcomes
Empowering Young Students with Disabilities Through AR-Enabled Hydroponic Agriculture
No full textHydroponic agriculture and vertical farming hold significant promise for sustainable food production, but accessing training programs for these techniques can be challenging, especially for young students with disabilities. This paper presents an innovative approach to address this issue by developing an augmented reality (AR) application tailored for hydroponic agriculture and vertical farming training. Collaborating with the Association for Cognitive Enhancement (ASPOC), the AR platform aims to provide inclusive and accessible learning experiences for students with disabilities, empowering them to acquire practical skills in agricultural practices. By leveraging AR technology, the system enhances engagement, interactivity, and real-time feedback, thereby fostering a more inclusive educational environment
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
