Acceptance and Gamification Models of the Agon Framework, an Acceptance Requirements Framework Based on Gamification
No full textWe have been interested in developing a generic framework for modelling, analyzing and fulfilling acceptance requirements for software systems through gamification [Piras, 2016, 2017]. Our objective is to support the systematic design of engaging software that meets acceptance requirements. To meet our objective we conducted a wide review of the literature to select the most important, effective and representative user acceptance models [Ajzen, 1991, Compeau et al., 1999, Davis, 1986, Davis et al., 1992, Moore and Benbasat, 1991, Sheppard et al., 1988, Taylor and Todd, 1995, Thompson et al., 1991, Venkatesh and Davis, 2000, Venkatesh et al., 2003]. We have integrated elements of existing models to create an Acceptance Model based on goal modeling techniques [Chung et al., 2012, Horkoff et al., 2017, Li et al., 2013, Mylopoulos et al., 1992]. This model gives a generic characterization of the problem space for acceptance requirements.We have also developed a Gamification Model [Piras, 2016, 2017] that defines a design space for gamified solutions to acceptance requirements, also through a literature review. This model includes gamification concepts such as point systems (i.e., experience, redeemable, skill, karma, reputation and training points), badges, leader-boards, levels, paths, gamified training (i.e., suggestions, tricks, tours, tutorials, training paths), gamified market (i.e., rewards and market policies of redeeming, making gifts, purchasing), game roles, powers, unlockable powers, gamified community [Deterding et al., 2011, Hamari, 2015, Schell, 2014, Zichermann and Cunningham, 2011], etc., and the alternative choices a designer has when designing a gamified solution [Deterding et al., 2011, Hamari, 2015, Schell, 2014, Zichermann and Cunningham, 2011]. Our framework, named Agon5, recognizes the importance of understanding game mechanics and dynamics by applying well-known gamification patterns and guidelines Schell [2014], Zichermann and Cunningham [2011] in producing an effective gamified design.In order to obtain more details and the description of such models, the Agon Framework and its method, "Acceptance Requirements Analysis Based on Gamification", please read the following published papers:- L.

Impact estimates for static spatial panel data models in R
No full textIn the present note we demonstrate how to implement the Lee and Yu (J Econom 154:165--185, 2010) procedure for fixed effects spatial panel data models available from the R (R Development Core Team, http://www.R-project.org/, 2012) package splm (Millo and Piras, J Stat Soft 47(1):1--38, 2012). Additionally, we also show how to compute the impact estimates (Kelejian et al. Open Econ Rev 17(4--5):423--441, 2006; LeSage and Pace, Introduction to Spatial Econometrics. CRC Press, Boca Raton, 2009). Unlike Matlab (MATLAB version 7.13, 2011), there was no R function specific to static panel data models for the calculation of the impact measures. After receiving numerous requests from the users of splm, we decided to extend the cross sectional functions available from spdep (Bivand, R package version 0.5-56, 2013) to spatial panel data models
Salute e diritti nella prospettiva di genere
No full textNel testo, scritto con Flavia Franzoni, Paola Piras è autrice del primo dei due capitoli: "I rapporti tra cittadine e Amministrazioni Pubbliche. La salute di genere". Tale capitolo tratta anzitutto dei rapporti tra cittadine e amministrazioni pubbliche fra modernizzazione e gendermainstreaming, nel quadro dei c.d. "nuovi diritti", o "diritti di ultima generazione". In questo contesto è esaminato il diritto alla salute nei suoi profili soggettivo e oggettivo, nell'ottica storica del passaggio dalla cultura della "salute di genere" al linguaggio “per” una salute di genere. Un focus è dedicato all’informazione e la comunicazione, al ruolo dei Consultori, agli Uffici Relazioni per il Pubblico

Breve nota su Gianni Rodari
No full textNell'Introduzione si fa sinteticamente il punto sull'impegno sociale e politico di Gianni Rodari. Il volume coglie la ricorrenza del passato centenario della nascita (1920) dello scrittore per fare il punto su come la sua opera abbia superato i confini della letteratura e sia quanto mai attuale nella pratica educativa
Victims of scenario-thinking. On the making of optimism and unrealistic expectations about ICTs
No full textThe pervasiveness of ICTs in healthcare is modifying professional-patient relationship. The de- bate, as often happens with innovations, is polarized and technology is considered with enthusiasm or sheer pessimism. Several works have tried to move beyond this simplistic positioning and address the intricacies and complexities of adopting technologies (Pols 2012; Piras and Miele 2020). Despite such efforts, the dichotomy tends to repeat itself and to move beyond we need to understand how this is created and reinforced.
Focusing on the professional community of computer scientists, the paper analyzes techno- enthusiasm to understand how it originates, how it is re-created over time and discursively performed and enacted.
The argumentation will be twofold. Firstly, I will show how the professional culture of informatics is imbued with high expectations with regard to the possibility of reshaping society through technology. In the scientific community, these values are promoted favoring the presentation of success cases instead of reflections about failures.
Secondly, I shall focus on the role of ‘scenarios’ in shaping an enthusiastic perspective with regard to technology. Scenarios, formally created to present a realistic use case, are powerful rhetorical devices that shape the desired future and foster a culture techno-enthusiasm by oversimplifying the complexities that technology will need to address thus making possible develop over-optimistic expectations regarding its adoption.
I argue that both techno-enthusiasm and techno-pessimism, far from being personal positioning, demarcate professional boundaries they are reproduced in patterned activities. Moving beyond the dichotomy requires identifying the locus and the practices in which each professional community performs and reinforces between techno-enthusiasm or techno-pessimism.
