    Even when actual technologies present the potential to augment inclusion and the United Nations has been stablished the digital access to information as a human right, people with disabilities continuously faced barriers in their profession. In many cases, in sciences, the lack of accessible and user centred tools left behind researches with disabilities and not facilitate them to conduct front-line research by using their respective strengths. In this contribution, we discuss some hurdles and solutions relevant for using new technology for data analysis, analysing the barriers found by final users. A focus group session was conducted with nine people with and without visual impairment, using the tool sonoUno with one linear function and an astronomical data set downloaded from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. As a result of the focus group study, incorporating data analysis using sonification, we conclude that functionally diverse people require tools to be autonomous, thereby enabling precision, certainty, effectiveness and efficiency in their work, resulting in enhanced equity. This can be achieved by pursuing a user-centred design approach as integral to software development, and by adapting resources according to the research objectives. Development of tools that empower people with wide-ranging abilities to not only access data using multi-sensorial techniques, but also address the current lack of inclusion, is sorely needed.Fil: Casado, Johanna Maria.

For differences between C. wanda wanda and C. arida cakana, see under C. arida cakana. For differences between C. wanda wanda and C. adelaidae adelaidae, see under C. adelaidae adelaidae. Identification. The photos of the type specimens of both Colias wanda and C. baeckeri presented by Grieshuber (2015, 2016a, 2020) on the internet are consulted. One of the male specimens from Tongren area (Fig. 7 - Specimen C27), neighbouring to the type locality of C. wanda, is almost identical with the lectotype of C. wanda in the wing-characters. Male and female specimens from Qilian County are in common with some of the type specimens of C. baeckeri. The authors agree with Grieshuber & Churkin (2003) in synonymizing C. baeckeri with C. wanda, considering the great individual variations in male and the consistence of the wing characters in female. The male specimens from Huashixia area are a little different in the more frequently greenish ground color on hindwing underside, but such difference is not out of the individual variations of C. wanda wanda. The female specimens from Huashixia are in common with the females from the other localities in Qinghai. Specimens from Dulan area are larger than in other populations of C. wanda, often as large as the specimens of C. arida cakana; they are identified as C. wanda wanda on the female characters. Flight period. Whole July. Altitude. 3800–4300m. Distributional notes. The junior author collected 3 ♂♂ from a locality of Tongren (Fig. 68), close to Xiahe, the type locality of C. adelaidae.

    Koko Koswara (Mang Koko) which is a reformer figure in Sundanese music (karawitan) able to create a new genre art that remains oriented to the aesthetics of Sundanese gamelan. The genre is called Gamelan Wanda Anyar created around the 70s. The authors are interested to study the instrument / gending of this art which has a dynamic musical form structure. The phenomenon of sound that occurs in Gamelan Wanda Anyar dish stimulates the writer to trace it further in both textual and contextual. In dissecting this case the author uses the aesthetic theory that Aristotle devised about mimesis (imitation). The purpose of this paper is to provide cm overview of the work of Mang Koko mean poured in the Gamelan Wanda Anyar which until now is still a benchmark of the artists in developing Sundanese music(karawitan

    Wanda, królowa sarmacka – próba epopei

    No full text
    1809 saw an anonymous publication of a fragment of the poem Wanda, królowa sarmacka [Wanda, the Queen of Sarmathians]. We read that Wanda, the daughter of Krakus, wanders with her companions as an envoy to the Jazyges to ask them for help against the Germanic invaders led by Rotygar. On their way they meet a pious hermit who advises them on the value of virtue and predicts the princess’s future. During their further voyage, as they are sailing down the Danube, a storm caused by the wind god Pochwist on request of the love goddess Dzidziela destroys their barge. Wanda’s companions die while she survives and travels on, holding on to a piece of the barge. Wanda recalls the tradition of epic; the author introduces motifs typical for this genre, including the epic machinery, replacing the ancient gods with characters from the Slavic mythology, opposing the decrees of the Christian God. The work, however, has also some distinct features of a descriptive poem. Wanda is a very good indication of changes which occurred in epic poetry in early 19th century

    A través de este trabajo se muestra una propuesta didáctica para la enseñanza de los fenómenos ondulatorios de interferencia y difracción de la luz, con 76 estudiantes de undécimo grado de la Institución Educativa Leonidas Acuña de la ciudad de Valledupar, haciendo uso de la Metodología de Aprendizaje Activo (MAA) y materiales propios de la región. La eficiencia de la propuesta didáctica fue validada al comparar, por medio de la ganancia de Hake, los resultados de la prueba final con los resultados de la prueba diagnóstica, así como también al comparar los resultados de la prueba final entre los grupos control y piloto. Estos resultados muestran la eficiencia de la propuesta.Abstract. Through this work it is presented a didactic proposal to teach wave phenomena interference and light diffraction, which was trialed with 76 students from eleventh grader at School Leonidas Acuna in Valledupar, through the employment of the Active Learning Methodology (ALM) and the region’s own materials. The efficiency of the didactic approach was validated using the gain Hake, by comparing the final test results with the results of the diagnostic test, as well as by comparing the results of the final test between control and pilot groups. These results show the effectiveness of the proposal.Maestrí

    L’obbligatorietà della rinnovazione della prova dichiarativa nel giudizio di rinvio

    No full text
    Per la Corte di cassazione il giudice del rinvio ha il dovere di riacquisire la prova dichiarativa, ai sensi del comma 3-bis dell’art. 603 c.p.p., sempre che sussistano i presupposti normativi, ovvero si tratti di un overturnig “verticale” e non, invece, di un ribaltamento decisorio tra la sentenza rescindente e quella rescissoria. L’Autore, dopo aver individuato la fonte del potere/dovere della riassunzione della prova orale in fase di rinvio nell’art. 627, comma 2, c.p.p., si sofferma sui limiti di applicabilità dei principi europei in materia di immediatezza nel rito rescissorio. L’obiettivo è l’individuazione di una soluzione di compromesso tra la funzione di controllo - propria di ogni impugnazione - e l’esigenza di oralità e di immediatezza che deve permeare tali giudizi.For the Court of Cassation the referring judge has the duty to regain the declaratory proof, pursuant to paragraph 3-bis of art. 603 c.p.p, provided that the normative presuppositions exist, that is to say that it is an overturnig “vertical” and not, instead, a reversal of the decision between the rescindent and the rescissoria sentence. The Author, after having identified the source of the power/duty of the reassignment of the oral test during referral in art. 627, paragraph 2, c.p.p., focuses on the limits of applicability of European principles in the field of immediacy in the rescissory rite. The aim is to find a compromise solution between the control function - specific to every appeal - and the need for orality and immediacy that must permeate these judgments
