GrabApple: The Design of a Casual Exergame
Creators: name: Gao, Yue

Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2011

description: Many people do not get the recommended 30 minutes of exercise per day, which can result in health problems such as obesity, muscle atrophy and chronic disease. Based on the principles of casual games and exergames, we propose and define casual exergames for motivating people to exercise in multiple small chunks of time throughout the day. We designed, implemented, and tested a casual exergame called GrabApple. Our preliminary results show that users enjoyed playing the casual exergame and that in just 10 minutes of play, their heart rate was elevated to an average of 72% of maximum heart rate, and that they burned an average of 91.8 Calories. If played three times per day, our casual exergame produced sufficient physical activity to meet current fitness guidelines. We discuss the potential health benefits of casual exergames.

description: LISA will use quadrant photoreceivers as front-end devices for the phasemeter measuring the motion of drag-free test masses in both angular orientation and separation. We have set up a laboratory testbed for the characterization of photoreceivers. Some of the limiting noise sources have been identified and their contribution has been either measured or derived from the measured data. We have built a photoreceiver with a 0.5 mm diameter quadrant photodiode with an equivalent input current noise of better than 1.8 pA/sqrt[Hz] below 20 MHz and a 3dB bandwidth of 34 MHz.
A proposal for cognitive gameplay requirements

Year: 2010

description: In cognitive gameplay, players must identify inputs, classify and integrate them in a contextually appropriate manner, then draw conclusions and provide feedback to the game engine to demonstrate their mastery of the challenge. Established requirements practices do not exist for this domain and game development teams rely upon ad hoc approaches to specification and iterative requirements-through-implementation-and-test techniques to achieve their goals. In this work we report our observations of a game development team as they prepared a game design in response to a third-party commercial request for proposal. We report upon three examples of cognitive gameplay definition and propose a definition for cognitive gameplay requirements, capable of capturing the requirements from within the case study, that can be used as the basis for further investigations.
Effect of Interacting Rarefaction Waves on Relativistically Hot Jets

description: The effect of rarefaction acceleration on the propagation dynamics and structure of relativistically hot jets is studied through relativistic hydrodynamic simulations. We emphasize the nonlinear interaction of rarefaction waves excited at the interface between a cylindrical jet and the surrounding medium. From simplified one-dimensional models with radial jet structure, we find that a decrease in the relativistic pressure due to the interacting rarefaction waves in the central zone of the jet transiently yields a more powerful boost of the bulk jet than that expected from single rarefaction acceleration. This leads to a cyclic in-situ energy conversion between thermal and bulk kinetic energies which induces radial oscillating motion of the jet. The oscillation timescale is characterized by the initial pressure ratio of the jet to the ambient medium, and follows a simple scaling relation $τ_{\rm oscillation} \propto (P_{\rm jet,0}/P_{\rm amb,0})^{1/2}$. It is confirmed from extended two-dimensional simulations that this radial oscillating motion in the one-dimensional system manifests as modulation of the structure of the jet in a more realistic situation where a relativistically hot jet propagates through an ambient medium. It is found that when the ambient medium has a power law pressure distribution, the size of the reconfinement region along the propagation direction of the jet in the modulation structure $λ$ evolves according to a self-similar relation $λ\propto t^{α/2}$ where $α$ is the power-law index of the pressure distribution.

description: Sensing technologies such as inertia tracking and computer vision enable spatial interactions where users make selections by ‘air pointing’: moving a limb, finger, or device to a specific spatial region. In addition of expanding the vocabulary of possible interactions available, air pointing brings the potential benefit of enabling ‘eyes-free’ interactions, where users rely on proprioception and kinaesthesia rather than vision. This paper explores the design space for air pointing interactions, and presents tangible results in the form of a framework that helps designers understand input dimensions and resulting interaction qualities. The framework provides a set of fundamental concepts that aid in thinking about the air pointing domain, in characterizing and comparing existing solutions, and in evaluating novel techniques. We carry out an initial investigation to demonstrate the concepts of the framework by designing and comparing three air pointing techniques: one based on small angular ‘raycasting’ movements, one on large movements across a 2D plane, and one on movements in a 3D volume. Results show that large movements on the 2D plane are both rapid (selection times under 1 s) and accurate, even without visual feedback. Raycasting is rapid but inaccurate, and the 3D volume is expressive but slow, inaccurate, and effortful. Many other findings emerge, such as selection point ‘drift’ in the absence of feedback. These results and the organising framework provide a foundation for innovation and understanding of air pointing interaction.

description: A new type of three-dimensional magnetic soliton in easy-axis ferromagnets is predicted by taking simultaneous account of the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction and an external magnetic field. The numerically obtained static three-dimensional solitons with a finite energy are characterized by a Hopf topological index H=0 and have a vortex structure. The structure of these solitons and the dependence of their energy on the external field are determined. The asymptotic behavior of these solitons is investigated and a necessary condition for their existence is found.

description: Anhand eines konkreten Lehrbeispiels zum populären Thema Fanfiction zeigt der Beitrag einen Ansatz zur Implementierung digitaler Methodiken in der universitären Lehre auf: Das vorgestellte, dreigliedrige Seminarkonzept besteht aus einem literaturwissenschaftlichen Theorieblock, einem Webscraping-Workshop zur Korpuserstellung sowie anschließenden Hands on-Sitzungen, mittels derer die Studierenden sich in Gruppenarbeitsphasen mithilfe ausformulierter Forschungsfragen in die jeweiligen Tools einarbeiteten. So konnten die Studierenden motiviert werden, sich kollaborativ mit verschiedenen methodischen Zugängen, Vor- und Nachteilen einzelner Tools sowie konkreten Operationalisierungen kritisch auseinanderzusetzen. Besonders vor dem Hintergrund der breiten Heterogenität der Studierenden – sowohl die fachliche Ausrichtung als auch die digitale Affinität und mögliche Vorkenntnisse betreffend – erwies sich dieser didaktische Ansatz als fruchtbar.
Cross-device transfer in a collaborative multi-surface environment without user identification

description: Combining large interactive surface computers (e.g., digital walls and tables) with smaller, multi-touch surface devices (e.g., smartphones and tablets) provides groups of users with both private and shared workspaces during collaborative (or competitive) activities. Such multi-surface environments introduce the need for effective interaction techniques that enable the transfer of digital content from one device to another, commonly known as cross-device transfer. Utilizing popular existing cross-transfer methods, such as Pick-and-Drop, in a multi-user multi-surface environment, however, require systems that can distinguish between users in order for the environment to accurately know who is transferring what content to what device. Yet, most commercially available digital tabletop systems are not capable of distinguishing between different users. Therefore, existing cross-device transfer methods must be adapted to work in such a user-information limited context. This paper presents a user study comparing the effectiveness of two adapted transfer methods in the context of a strategic digital tabletop card game task. The two transfer methods included a virtual portals-style method, called Bridges, and an adapted Pick-and-Drop method (A-PND). The studied transfer methods both supported the high-levels of card-transfer between private (tablet) and tabletop surfaces required by the game task. Also, participants' reported preferences were equally divided between the two techniques. An in-depth qualitative analysis of the study data revealed that each transfer method provided unique advantages and disadvantages for the game task, which aligned better or worse with different players' personal task goals.
Nonmesonic weak decay of Lambda-hypernuclei within independent-particle shell-model

description: After a short introduction to the nonmesonic weak decay (NMWD) $ΛN\go nN$ of $Λ$-hypernuclei we discuss the long-standing puzzle on the ratio $Γ_n/Γ_p$, and some recent experimental evidences that signalized towards its final solution. Two versions of the Independent-Particle-Shell-Model (IPSM) are employed to account for the nuclear structure of the final residual nuclei. They are: (a) IPSM-a, where no correlation, except for the Pauli principle, is taken into account, and (b) IPSM-b, where the highly excited hole states are considered to be quasi-stationary and are described by Breit-Wigner distributions, whose widths are estimated from the experimental data. We evaluate the coincidence spectra in $^{4}_Λ$He, $^{5}_Λ$He, $^{12}_Λ$C, $^{16}_Λ$O, and $^{28}_Λ$Si, as a function of the sum of kinetic energies $E_{nN}=E_n+E_N$ for $N=n,p$. The recent Brookhaven National Laboratory experiment E788 on $^4_Λ$He, is interpreted within the IPSM . We found that the shapes of all the spectra are basically tailored by the kinematics of the corresponding phase space, depending very weakly on the dynamics, which is gauged here by the one-meson-exchange-potential. In spite of the straightforwardness of the approach a good agreement with data is achieved. This might be an indication that the final-state-interactions and the two-nucleon induced processes are not very important in the decay of this hypernucleus. We have also found that the $π+K$ exchange potential with soft vertex-form-factor cutoffs $(Λ_π\approx 0.7$ GeV, $Λ_K\approx 0.9$ GeV), is able to account simultaneously for the available experimental data related to $Γ_p$ and $Γ_n$ for $^4_Λ$H, $^4_Λ$He, and $^5_Λ$He.

description: We present deep Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) radio observations at 240, 330 and 610 MHz of the complex radio source at the center of the NGC1407 galaxy group. Previous GMRT observations at 240 MHz revealed faint, diffuse emission enclosing the central twin-jet radio galaxy. This has been interpreted as an indication of two possible radio outbursts occurring at different times. Both the inner double and diffuse component are detected in the new GMRT images at high levels of significance. Combining the GMRT observations with archival Very Large Array data at 1.4 and 4.9 GHz, we derive the total spectrum of both components. The inner double has a spectral index α=0.7, typical for active, extended radio galaxies, whereas the spectrum of the large-scale emission is very steep, with α=1.8 between 240 MHz and 1.4 GHz. The radiative age of the large-scale component is very long, ~300 Myr, compared to ~30 Myr estimated for the central double, confirming that the diffuse component was generated during a former cycle of activity of the central galaxy. The current activity have so far released an energy which is nearly one order of magnitude lower than that associated with the former outburst. The group X-ray emission in the Chandra and XMM-Newton images and extended radio emission show a similar swept-back morphology. We speculate that the two structures are both affected by the motion of the group core, perhaps due to the core sloshing in response to a recent encounter with the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC1400.

Year: 2012

description: In dieser Edition wird die Korrespondenz der schweizerischen Botschaft in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland von 1956 bis 1963 veröffentlicht; sie umfasst 268 Dokumente. Vom Höhepunkt bis zum Ende der Ära Adenauer war die Schweiz durch zwei Spitzendiplomaten vertreten, Albert Huber (1949–1958) und Alfred Escher (1959–1964). Die meisten Dokumente beschäftigen sich mit der Politik Adenauers. Beherrschende Themen sind die Bemühungen um die Wiedervereinigung, die Probleme rund um den wirtschaftlichen Zusammenschluss Europas unter dem Dach der EWG, die Anwendung der «Hallstein-Doktrin», das Verhältnis Bonns zu Washington, London und im Besonderen zu Paris sowie zur Sowjetunion, die grossen Ost-West-Krisen 1958 und 1961, die Beziehungen zum Nahen Osten und vor allem zu Israel sowie Rüstungs- und Abrüstungsfragen einschliesslich Strategien der NATO. Huber und Escher standen der Bundesrepublik wohlwollend gegenüber und urteilten ausgewogen. Ihre Berichte wirken distanzwahrend, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes «neutral». Sie sind fraglos ein weiterer Mosaikstein im Gesamtbild zur Geschichte der Ära Adenauer und ein Stück schweizerisch-deutscher Beziehungen.

description: We consider a mixture of metal coated quantum dots dispersed in a polymer matrix and, using a modified version of the standard Maxwell-Garnett mixing rule, we prove that the mixture parameters (particles radius, quantum dots gain, etc.) can be chosen so that the effective medium permittivity has an absolute value very close to zero in the near-infrared, i.e. |Re(epsilon)|<<1 and |Im (epsilon)|<<1 at the same near-infrared wavelength. Resorting to full-wave simulations, we investigate the accuracy of the effective medium predictions and we relate their discrepancy with rigorous numerical results to the fact that |epsilon|<<1 is a critical requirement. We show that a simple method for reducing this discrepancy, and hence for achieving a prescribed value of |ε|, consists in a subsequent fine-tuning of the nanoparticles volume filling fraction.

description: Emotional requirements capture the game designer's vision for the player's emotional experience and are used to facilitate communication between pre-production and production teams. However, production-phase deficiencies in emotional requirements have been identified. In this work, we extend the definition of emotional requirements to include emotion prototypes and emotion markers and present improved techniques for eliciting, capturing and visualizing emotional requirements. A detailed investigation of one gameplay scenario is presented, with a focus on evaluating visualization techniques for emotional requirements. The solutions developed in this work met the needs of all development team members and appear to be general solutions for the domain.

description: Biofeedback games help people maintain specific mental or physical states and are useful to help children with cognitive impairments learn to self-regulate their brain function. However, biofeedback games are expensive and difficult to create and are not sufficiently appealing to hold a child's interest over the long term needed for effective biofeedback training. We present a system that turns off-the-shelf computer games into biofeedback games. Our approach uses texture-based graphical overlays that vary in their obfuscation of underlying screen elements based on the sensed physiological state of the child. The textures can be visually customized so that they appear to be integrated with the underlying game. Through a 12-week deployment, with 16 children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, we show that our solution can hold a child's interest over a long term, and balances the competing needs of maintaining the fun of playing, while providing effective biofeedback training.

description: The polarization properties of macroscopic Bell states are characterized using three-dimensional quantum polarization tomography. This method utilizes three-dimensional inverse Radon transform to reconstruct the polarization quasiprobability distribution function of a state from the probability distributions measured for various Stokes observables. The reconstructed 3D distributions obtained for the macroscopic Bell states are compared with those obtained for a coherent state with the same mean photon number. The results demonstrate squeezing in one or more Stokes observables.

description: Exergames encourage physical activity, but generally require specialized hardware and prescribed activities; whereas pervasive accumulated context exergames (PACEs) allow players to choose their type of exercise, but have limited depth of play. For mass commercialization of PACEs, facilitating long-term behavioural change, we propose two requirements: that PACEs support large-scale and flexible deployment; and that the design of PACEs support staying power through long-term playability. From these requirements, we motivate six PACE design principles and use these principles to develop a multiplayer roleplaying PACE. Results from a week-long study of our game showed that by satisfying the six design principles, we can create a PACE with scalability and staying power. Our results are the first step toward creating PACEs that promotes long-term game engagement, which is needed for activity-related behaviour change.

Phytoremediation and metal speciation in highway soils

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Research was conducted to develop a cost effective and environmentally friendly technology to limit the dispersal of metal contaminants from highway traffic in the soil to the surrounding natural environment. The study comprised preliminary field measurements followed by two pot experiments and a field study. The first study evaluated the phytoextraction/ phytostabilisation potential of five plant species: Brassica napus L (rape), Helianthus annuus L. (sunflower), Lolium perenne L (perennial rye grass), Poa pratensis L (Kentucky blue grass) and Festuca rubra L (creeping red fescue) for metals (Cu, Mn, Pb and Zn), in soils with different metal contamination levels. The promising plant species identified were Lolium perenne, Festuca rubra and Poa pratensis. Total soil and plant metal concentrations, as well as the relative metal partitioning in different soil fractions and in plants were determined to provide an estimate of the mobility and potential bioavailability of metals in the soil. The second study evaluated the effectiveness of soil-plant-amendment interaction in immobilising metals in the soil. The amendments included lime, phosphate and compost individually and in combination, and were applied to the plant species: Lolium, Poa and Festuca. Maximum metal immobilisation was achieved in the soil by the combined application of amendments in conjunction with growth of Festuca for Cu, Poa for Pb and Zn and Lolium for Mn. The results obtained from first and second studies were confirmed by conducting field studies. A completely randomized factorial experiment in split plot design with three plant species (Lolium, Poa, and Festuca) individually and in combination, with and without soil amendments was conducted along Highway 17 soil in southwest British Columbia. The influence of root-soil interactions and seasonal influence on the solubility and bioavailability of metals in the soil with and without soil amendments was also evaluated. The best management practices (BMP) developed from the study have the applicability for phytostabilisation of metal contaminated sites and can be suggested as a risk management activity, reducing long-term associated risks.

description: Multi-display groupware (MDG) systems, which typically comprise both public and personal displays, promise to enhance collaboration, yet little is understood about how they differ in use from single-display groupware (SDG) systems. While research has established the technical feasibility of MDG systems, evaluations have not addressed the question of how users’ behave in such environments, how their interface design can impact group behavior, or what advantages they offer for collaboration. This paper presents a user study that investigates the impact of display configuration and software interface design on taskwork and teamwork. Groups of three completed a collaborative optimization task in single- and multi-display environments, under different task interface constraints. Our results suggest that MDG configurations offer advantages for performing individual task duties, whereas SDG conditions offer advantages for coordinating access to shared resources. The results also reveal the importance of ergonomic design considerations when designing co-located groupware systems.

description: It is a generally shared opinion that significant information about the topology of a bounded domain $Ω$ of a riemannian manifold $M$ is encoded into the properties of the distance, $d_{\partialΩ}$, %, $d:Ω\rightarrow [0,\infty [$, from the boundary of $Ω$. To confirm such an idea we propose an approach based on the invariance of the singular set of the distance function with respect to the generalized gradient flow of of $d_{\partialΩ}$. As an application, we deduce that such a singular set has the same homotopy type as $Ω$.

description: Digitale Annotation hat großes didaktisches Potential und ist bislang in dieser Hinsicht kaum erforscht. Insbesondere als kollaborativ-diskursive Methode der iterativen, abwechselnd deduktiven und induktiven Kategorienbildung und der hermeneutischen Analyse im Team bietet Annotation viele innovative Möglichkeiten für didaktische Szenarien. Im kollaborativen, forschungsnahen Prozess ausgehandelt werden trennscharfe Differenzierungen nicht nur auf der Ebene der Kategoriensysteme, sondern auch bei der Formulierung von Guidelines und bei der Festlegung von zu annotierenden Segmenten. Didaktische Effekte sind vor allem im Zuge der diskursiv-intersubjektiven, intensiven und präzisen Auseinandersetzung mit den Untersuchungsgegenständen sowie der Operationalisierung und Explizierung von Analyse- und Interpretationsschritten zu erzielen. Wissenschaftliches, digitales Annotieren knüpft zudem an die Alltagspraktik des Taggens an und bietet die Möglichkeit, davon ausgehend an systematisches wissenschaftliches Arbeiten heranzuführen. Darüber hinaus stellt Annotation auch eine Schnittstelle zwischen manuell-hermeneutischer Analyse und automatisierten Verfahren dar. In diesem Spektrum beschreibt der Beitrag verschiedene Formen des Annotierens mit Blick auf didaktische Anschlussmöglichkeiten und zeigt das didaktische Potenzial dieser Methode an Beispiel-Szenarien aus der Hochschullehre.

Due to the nonlinear nature of their dynamics, the governing equations are not fully solvable. Here, the dynamics of a spherical bubble in an N-dimensional fluid are discussed in the hope that examining bubble behavior in N dimensions will add insight to their behavior in three dimensions. Several canonical results in bubble dynamics are re-derived, including the Rayleigh collapse time, the Rayleigh-Plesset equation, and the Minnaert frequency. Numerical simulations are used to examine the onset of nonlinear behavior. Overall, the dynamics of bubbles are faster at higher dimensions, with nonlinear behavior occurring at lower amplitudes. Several features are found to be unique to three dimensions, including the trend of nonlinear behaviour and apparent coincidences in timescales.

description: Virtual Assistants und Smart Speaker spielen im fachdidaktischen Diskurs bisher kaum eine Rolle, während ihre Bedeutung im Alltag der Schülerinnen und Schüler beständig wächst. Der Beitrag erörtert Herausforderungen eines möglichen Einsatzes digitaler Assistenten im (Geschichts-)Unterricht und möchte Antwortansätze zur Frage liefern, inwieweit sie genutzt werden könnten, um Kompetenzen im Bereich der Digital Literacy zu vermitteln: Kann der Einsatz digitaler Assistenten angesichts des mangelnden Wissens um deren Funktionsweise einen Beitrag zum Verständnis der Technologie leisten? Unter welchen Umständen können sie genutzt werden, um die verborgen ablaufende Hypothesenbildung der Software, die den meisten alltäglich verwendeten Webanwendungen zu eigen ist, zu dekonstruieren? Es wird zudem diskutiert, inwieweit Sprachassistenten als Simulation historischer Personen einen aktivierenden und direkteren Zugang zur Geschichte bieten können, um digitale Quellenarbeit und -kritik zu behandeln, oder um oftmals nicht (mehr) mögliche Zeitzeugengespräche zu ersetzen.

description: Few leisure activities are accessible to institutionalized older adults using wheelchairs; in consequence, they experience lower levels of perceived health than able-bodied peers. Video games have been shown to be an engaging leisure activity for older adults. In our work, we address the design of wheelchair-accessible motion-based games. We present KINECTWheels, a toolkit designed to integrate wheelchair movements into motion-based games, and Cupcake Heaven, a wheelchair-based video game designed for older adults using wheelchairs. Results of two studies show that KINECTWheels can be applied to make motion-based games wheelchair-accessible, and that wheelchair-based games engage older adults. Through the application of the wheelchair as an enabling technology in play, our work has the potential of encouraging older adults to develop a positive relationship with their wheelchair.

title: Grundherrschaft digital explorieren! : Digitalisate, Editionen, GIS und frühmittelalterliches Ressourcenmanagement am Beispiel von Bildern und Texten in Schulbüchern und Kloster Lorsch
Creators: name: Schenk, Gerrit Jasper
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2020

description: Der Beitrag fragt, wie mit digitalen Recherchemöglichkeiten das mittelalterliche Phänomen der Grundherrschaft, das Lehrende und Lernende in Schule und Hochschule oft vor Vermittlungs- und Aneignungsprobleme stellt, erschlossen werden kann. Zunächst wird Grundherrschaft als Fachbegriff und Forschungsproblem vorgestellt. Dann wird überlegt, wie Darstellungen des Themenkomplexes in Lernmitteln, Einführungen und Überblicksdarstellungen als Element mittelalterlicher Herrschaft und Gesellschaft für den Erwerb digitaler Recherche- und Analysekompetenzen herangezogen werden können. Am Beispiel von häufig verwendeten Bild- und Textquellen werden digitale Rechercheinstrumente (Suchmaschinen, Bibliothekskataloge, Fachrepositorien, allgemeine und spezialisierte Bild- und Textdatenbanken) samt Suchstrategien mit ihren Vor- und Nachteilen vorgestellt. Welchen epistemischen Charakter haben Digitalisate und Editionen? Welchen quellenkritischen Mehrwert bieten die neuen digitalen Möglichkeiten, welche Probleme werfen sie auf? An konkreten Beispielen wird gezeigt, wie eine digital gestützte Heuristik etablierte Forschungspositionen zu hinterfragen erlaubt. Abschließend wird die frühmittelalterliche Grundherrschaft des Klosters Lorsch herangezogen, um mit Hilfe im Internet zugänglicher Ressourcen (Editionen, Digitalisate von Handschriften, Geoinformationssysteme) einen Eindruck von der räumlichen Dimension und dem konkreten Funktionieren einer Grundherrschaft zu gewinnen.
The Effects of Graphical Fidelity on Player Experience

description: Graphical assets in video games have become increasingly complex over the years, but little is known about their effect on player experience (PX). In this paper, we present results of a controlled study with 48 participants comparing how abstract and stylized graphics influence player experience in casual games. Our results show that high-fidelity graphics result in a more positive impression of the game. However, we also show that many effects are only present in the game with a more challenging mechanic. This shows that casual games can be compelling and enjoyable to play despite simplistic graphics, suggesting that small game developers and researchers need not focus on elaborate visuals to engage players.
Light scattering from ultracold gases in disordered optical lattices

Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)

description: We consider a gas of bosons in a bichromatic optical lattice at finite temperatures. As the amplitude of the secondary lattice grows, the single-particles eigenstates become localized. We calculate the canonical partition function using exact methods for the noninteracting and strongly interacting limit and analyze the statistical properties of the superfluid phase, localized phase and the strongly interacting gas. We show that those phases may be distinguished in experiment using off-resonant light scattering.

description: Ausgehend von der Prämisse, dass in Schulen und Hochschulen künftig noch stärker als bisher mit elektronischen Publikationen gearbeitet werden wird, verfolgt dieser Beitrag im Rahmen des Handbuchs zwei Ziele. Zum einen soll durch einen Überblick über aktuelle Formen elektronischer Publikationen und ihre Spezifika die Medienkompetenz bei Lehrenden und Forschenden und damit auch die Befähigung zur Vermittlung derselben an SchülerInnen und Studierende unterstützt werden. Zum anderen soll das Bewusstsein für Formen von Openness (vor allem Open Access und Open Source) und ihre Einsatzmöglichkeiten in Lehre und Forschung erhöht werden. Letzteres erfolgt nicht zuletzt auch vor dem Hintergrund, dass beispielsweise universitär nicht mehr angebundene LehrerInnen oder MuseumsdidaktikerInnen oft beim Zugang zu kostenpflichtigen elektronischen Ressourcen, aber auch bei der Finanzierung eigener Publikationen benachteiligt sind. Nach einer einführenden Begriffsklärung von Closed Access & Open Access und den verschiedenen Wegen von bzw. zu Letzterem werden neben relevanten Medien und Plattformen auch die Aspekte Lizenzierung, Finanzierung, Qualitätssicherung, Langzeitverfügbarkeit und Recherche beleuchtet.

The foundations of Chinese logic
Creators: name: De Jesus, Abraham Marier
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Chad Hansen’s interpretations of Warring States (475 B.C. – 221 B.C.) Chinese logic have long dominated the field. While Hansen has had his critics, there has been a general acceptance of many of his important contributions. In addition, the development and criticism of his interpretations have generally tended to create further confusion over the key philosophical concepts in Chinese logic. Among Hansen’s many contributions to the field of Chinese logic a few are foundational to the study of logic: one, that Chinese thought has no concept of truth; two, that Classical Chinese nouns are analogous to mass nouns in English; three, that, because Chinese philosophy is nominalistic, it has no role for abstract theories like essences, Platonic forms, or ideas; four, that Chinese ontology is mereological and without a concept of membership or class. Using Hansen’s body of work this thesis provides a critical reexamination of the foundations of Chinese logic. It ultimately demonstrates that, contrary to Hansen’s theories, Chinese thought can be plausibly interpreted to have the following characteristics: first, there is a concept of truth that may be identified as a ‘naïve correspondence theory of truth’ in Later Mohist thought; second, nouns in Classical Chinese are neither mass nouns nor count nouns; third, some concept of ‘essence’ plays an important role in Xunzi’s thought; and, fourth, that Chinese thought, in general, has a notion of class and class membership. These conclusions are demonstrated by using a dual methodology of pluralism and embodied cognition to interpret key claims by important Warring States thinkers.
The design and evaluation of a classroom exergame

description: Balancing academic, physical and emotional needs of students while maintaining student interest is increasingly challenging in the resource constrained environments of the modern classroom. To answer this need we created and evaluated an exergame system called Vortex Mountain, which leverages the physical benefits of exercise and the motivational benefits of educational games to provide a healthy and engaging classroom activity for middle school students. Through a controlled study, we demonstrate that our classroom exergame provides similar affective, engagement, and learning benefits to an exercise or game intervention, while leveraging the valuable ancillary benefits of each. Thus, we believe that exergames have a future in the modern classroom and possess significant potential for future technical and pedagogical research.
