Navigation Tools for Text Embedded within Complex-Shaped Area Features and Meandering Linear Features
No full textAbstract: By presenting textual information within the space of corresponding images, the concept of DUAL-USE OF IMAGE SPACE (DUIS) eases the mental integration of textual and pictorial information. This paper applies the DUIS approach which was initially developed for area features to linear features. Moreover, we enhance the DUIS approach with new tools to navigate within embedded texts: The sidebar, the information petals and navigation bars. These tools provide the context as well as the structure of the entire textual information space at a glance thereby reducing the cognitive overheads associated with navigating within large texts
Distributed User Interfaces: Models, Methods and Tools
No full textDistributed User Interfaces (DUIs) have recently become a new field of research and development in Human- Computer Interaction (HCI). The DUIs have brought about drastic changes affecting the way interactive systems are conceived. DUIs have gone beyond the fact that user interfaces are controlled by a single end user on the same computing platform in the same environment. This new interaction mechanism affects the way these novel systems are designed and developed. New features need to be taken into account from the very beginning of the development process and new models, methods, and tools need to be considered for the correct development of interactive systems based on Distributed User Interfaces. Therefore, the goal of this workshop is to promote the discussion about the emerging topic of DUIs, answering a set of key questions regarding their development: How current UI models can be used or extended to cover the new features of DUIs? What new features should be considered and how should they be included within the development process? What new methods and methodologies do we need to develop DUIs in a correct way following the quality standards for interactive systems
Apuntes para la construcción del turismo cultural a partir del análisis de la oferta cultural-patrimonial y su demanda por el sector turístico del Quindío
No full textEste artículo resume los resultados de investigaciones sobre el patrimonio rural entre los años 2010 y 2015 cofinanciadas por la Secretaría de Cultura del Quindío y los resultados preliminares de la investigación de la oferta cultural y su demanda por el sector turístico en el departamento del Quindío (Colombia). La identificación de los potenciales patrimoniales permite diversificar el turismo e integrar el patrimonio material e inmaterial en el diseño de productos; así mismo, las manifestaciones culturales tradicionales y las actividades culturales-artísticas pueden aportar a la innovación del destino mediante la construcción del turismo cultural. Pero estos dos sectores, el cultural y el turístico, se encuentran separados y poco articulados para una adecuada gestión de los activos culturales. La metodología consiste, por un lado, en un trabajo de campo exhaustivo para la investigación del patrimonio rural y, por el otro lado, en la realización de encuestas dirigidas a ambos sectores (el cultural y el turístico) para indagar sobre el estado actual de los grupos culturales y artísticos y las características de su oferta, así como acerca de la oferta turística actual y su demanda cultural, identificando intereses y brechas entre ambos. Esto se comprueba con la posterior aplicación de entrevistas en profundidad dirigidas a actores culturales y turísticos multiplicadores, que permiten determinar distancias y vacíos que impiden una adecuada articulación en torno a una oferta turística cultural

Engagement of the rat hindlimb motor cortex across natural locomotor behaviors
No full textContrary to cats and primates, cortical contribution to hindlimb locomotor movements is not critical in rats. However, the importance of the motor cortex to regain locomotion after neurological disorders in rats suggests that cortical engagement in hindlimb motor control may depend on the behavioral context. To investigate this possibility, we recorded whole-body kinematics, muscle synergies, and hindlimb motor cortex modulation in freely moving rats performing a range of natural locomotor procedures. We found that the activation of hindlimb motor cortex preceded gait initiation. During overground locomotion, the motor cortex exhibited consistent neuronal population responses that were synchronized with the spatiotemporal activation of hindlimb motoneurons. Behaviors requiring enhanced muscle activity or skilled paw placement correlated with substantial adjustment in neuronal population responses. In contrast, all rats exhibited a reduction of cortical activity during more automated behavior, such as stepping on a treadmill. Despite the facultative role of the motor cortex in the production of locomotion in rats, these results show that the encoding of hindlimb features in motor cortex dynamics is comparable in rats and cats. However, the extent of motor cortex modulations appears linked to the degree of volitional engagement and complexity of the task, reemphasizing the importance of goal-directed behaviors for motor control studies, rehabilitation, and neuroprosthetics
