Parid-GO A Personalised Augmented Reality Game to Reinforce Outdoor Physical Activity for People with Intellectual Disabilities. This project aims to develope a dynamic content solution that are user centric. The rationale is that by allowing the participants to customize and use other themes, colors, etc., the participant will be more engaged and use the application more. Which in turn will increase ...

Distance-based classification is frequently used in transductive few-shot learning (FSL). However, due to the high-dimensionality of image representations, FSL classifiers are prone to suffer from the hubness problem, where a few points (hubs) occur frequently in multiple nearest neighbour lists of other points. Hubness negatively impacts distance-based classification when hubs from one class appear ...

Research in the field of human–robot interactions (HRIs) has advanced significantly in recent years. Social humanoid robots have undergone severe testing and have been implemented in a variety of settings, for example, in educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and senior care centers. Humanoid robots have also been assessed across different population groups. However, research on various ...

Background: Studies across the globe generally reported increased mortality risks associated with particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2,5 μm (PM_2,5) exposure with large heterogeneity in the magnitude of reported associations and the shape of concentration-response functions (CRFs). We aimed to evaluate the impact of key study design factors (including confounders, applied ...

<p>Monitoring air pollution is a critical step towards improving public health, particularly when it comes to identifying the primary air pollutants that can have an impact on human health. Among these pollutants, particulate matter (PM) with a diameter of up to 2.5 μm (or PM2.5) is of particular concern, making it important to continuously and accurately monitor pollution related to PM. The emergence ...

Un repaso por las incursiones piratas contra la Ciudad de los Reyes de Lima —y en general contra el Virreinato del Perú—, desde las tempranas acciones de Francis Drake (entre 1578 y 1579) hasta las últimas de la alianza de filibusteros comandada por Edward Davies (entre 1684 y 1687), nos permite ver que todos estos ataques fueron sometidos por las armadas de mar y las defensas del puerto del Callao. ...

New forms of urbanization are unfolding around the world that challenge inherited conceptions of the urban as a fixed and universally generalizable settlement type. The Arctic is a region where urbanization is a strong and powerful process. Inspired by Neil Brenner`s concept of planetary urbanism, this chapter seeks to challenge dominant paradigms that locate Arctic space and place outside urban ...

Ecological Literacy (EL) is understanding and applying ecological principles to environmental issues. It involves recognizing the interdependence of living organisms and ecosystems and the impacts of human actions on the environment. EL individuals possess knowledge of biodiversity, ecological processes, and sustainability, enabling them to make informed, environmentally responsible decisions. This ...

Resilienssi on aikamme iskusanoja. Termillä on pitkät perinteet, mutta vasta 2010-luvulla se nousi suureen suosioon. Resilienssiä tutkitaan usean tieteenalan piirissä, ja termillä on lukuisia käytännöllisiä sovellusaloja. Tämä on johtanut siihen, että ei ole yksiselitteistä, mitä resilienssi milloinkin tarkoittaa. Termin kääntäminen kansallisille kielille, useimmiten tavoittamatta sen moninaisuutta, ...

Anemones are abundant in an acidified ocean. But are they thriving? New genomics research shows that ocean acidification puts these animals under considerable stress. The good news is that some marine animals can tolerate the impacts of increased carbon dioxide levels in seawater.
