Design and assessment of an assistive wearable platform for acoustic spatial awareness
No full textPartial hearing loss is a common condition: 360 Million people in the world suffer from disabling hearing loss. Recent technological advancements brought on the market hearing aids that improve speech understanding during conversations with a single human talker, or while watching television or during leisure activities. Nonetheless, very common acoustic scenarios such as noisy or crowded environments, or the presence of multiple surrounding talkers around the listener, are still problematic.
This Ph.D. thesis exposes the concept of a novel device which is complementary to hearing aids and has the aim of increasing the speech comprehension in noise for people with hearing impairment. It consists of a couple of microphone arrays embedded in the temples of a pair of glasses. It can be connected to hearing aids or used by earphones and provides an effective spatial segregation of sounds by means of an implementation of robust beamforming filter synthesis.
The experimental part of the thesis illustrates the three studies performed on participants with healthy hearing and hearing impairment to investigate the contribution of glasses spatial filtering to speech comprehension in noise and to compare it with previous art.
Symmetric and asymmetric sound filtering configurations were tested and the results showed that the use of binaural spatial filtering offered by the device can further improve the speech comprehension of hearing impaired listeners compared to in-the-ear hearing aids. Moreover, it can be useful also for people with healthy hearing, to handle conversations with two speakers in noisy contexts

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
