Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
No full textIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
The development and validation of a shortened version of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q)
No full textAims: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a short version of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) for sessional outcome assessment, which is sensitive to clinical change. Method: A principal component analysis was conducted to determine the factor structure of 489 EDE-Qs completed by individuals with a range of eating disorders. Rasch analysis was carried out on each identified factor. The statistical information and expert ratings (N=10) informed the inclusion/exclusion criteria for each EDE-Q item. The EDE-Q's response scale properties were also investigated using the Rasch model. Data from people with (N=54) and without eating disorders (N=503) were collected through an online survey to assess the reliability, validity and sensitivity of the new measure. Results: A 12-item short version, the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire Short (EDE-QS) was developed. Initial psychometric evaluation showed that the EDE-QS is a reliable, valid and sensitive questionnaire. Conclusions: The EDE-QS appears suitable for the use as a brief and user-friendly sessional outcome measure

No full textRenowned neurologist and author Dr Oliver Sacks is a visiting professor at the University of Warwick as part of the Institute of Advanced Study. Dr Sacks was born in London. He earned his medical degree at the University of Oxford (Queen’s College) and the Middlesex Hospital (now UCL), followed by residencies and fellowships at Mt. Zion Hospital in San Francisco and at University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). As well as authoring best-selling books such as Awakenings and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, he is clinical professor of neurology at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York. Warwick is part of a consortium led by New York University which is building an applied science research institute, the Center for Urban Science and Progress (CUSP). Dr Sacks recently completed a five-year residency at Columbia University in New York, where he was professor of neurology and psychiatry. He also held the title of Columbia University Artist, in recognition of his contributions to the arts as well as to medicine. He is a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and the Association of British Neurologists, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and has been a fellow of the New York Institute for the Humanities at NYU for more than 25 years. In 2008, he was appointed CBE
Creative AI for HRI Design Explorations
No full textDesign fixation, a phenomenon describing designers' adherence to pre-existing ideas or concepts that constrain design outcomes, is particularly prevalent in human-robot interaction (HRI), for example, due to collectively held and stabilised imaginations of what a robot should look like or behave. In this paper, we explore the contribution of creative AI tools to overcome design fixation and enhance creative processes in HRI design. In a four weeks long design exploration, we used generative text-to-image models to ideate and visualise robotic artefacts and robot sociotechnical imaginaries. We exchanged results along with reflections through a digital postcard format. We demonstrate the usefulness of our approach to imagining novel robot concepts, surfacing existing assumptionsand robot stereotypes, and situating robotic artefacts in context.We discuss the contribution to designerly HRI practices and conclude with lessons learnt for using creative AI tools as an emerging design practice in HRI research and beyond.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Design Aesthetic
Entropy-related measures of the utility of gambling.
No full textThe first author has known Peter for a very long time, dating back some 45 years to when we met at a colloquium he gave at the University of Pennsylvania. After that our paths crossed fairly often. For example, in the early 1970s, he spent a year at the Institute for Advanced Study where Luce spent three years until the attempt to establish a program in scientific social science was abandoned for a more literary approach favored by the humanists and, surprisingly, the mathematicians then at the Institute. The second author has learnt a tremendous amount about both substantive and technical issues from Peter's work, beginning with Peter's book Utility Theory for Decision Making (Fishburn, 1970), which he reviewed for Contemporary Psychology (see Marley, 1972). Peter's volume on interval orders (Fishburn, 1985) was a marvelous development of various ideas related to the algebra of imperfect discrimination that elaborated the first author's initial work on semiorders (Luce, 1956)
Imparare per tutta la vita
No full textNel volume vengono ricostruite, per la prima volta in un testo italiano, le origini e gli sviluppi delle "Università della terza età" evidenziando le peculiarità del modello francese e di quello inglese, nonché delle caratteristiche della principale Associazione internazionale delle Università della Terza Età. Vengono poi richiamati i risvolti storici che hanno portato al costituirsi, nel 1987, in forma cooperativa dell'Università Aperta di Imola che fin dall'inizio ha assunto come finalità primaria l'educazione permanente in modo da poter coinvolgere ad ampio raggio adulti di tutte le età, per attrezzarli ad affrontare con consapevolezza un mondo in rapida e profonda trasformazione. Oltre a una ricerca storica che porta alla luce fonti finora inedite, il volume è il frutto di una ricerca empirica: non solo sono presentati l'andamento degli iscritti nell'arco di 22 anni di vita, ma vengono analizzate le motivazioni e le aspettative dei corsisti col supporto di un'indagine dettagliata e rigorosa, che offre elementi conoscitivi originali e interessanti
