description: Background Land Tenure Formalization (LTF) is long advocated as a policy prescription that fosters growth and reduces poverty in developing countries. However, the empirical evidence on LTF effects is mixed and inconclusive, proving unclear implications for policy. A set of possible conceptual and methodological flaws arising from treating LTF as a dichotomy between formalized and non-formalized alongside potential selectivity biases are amongst the main explanations for the mixed and inconclusive results. Using Tanzania’s National Panel Survey data from the 2014/2015 wave and employing a Selectivity Corrected Multinomial Endogenous Switching Regression, this study models the development outcomes of LTF with clear distinction of LTF between customary and statutory land tenure systems in Tanzania. Findings The study finds that possession of formal land tenure certificates [Certificate of Customary Right of Occupancy (CCRO) or Certificate of Granted Right of Occupancy (CGRO)] improves perceived land tenure security, but the effect is relatively larger and more significant for CGRO holders than CCRO holders especially in economically high potential areas, where land is becoming more individualized and commoditized. With regard to credit access, our results show variations in the effects between general, formal, and informal credit access. While there is no significant effect of LTF on general access to credit, possessing a CGRO significantly reduces the uptake of informal credit and appears to improve access to formal credit. With regard to land investments, our results show positive and significant effects of LTF on organic and inorganic fertilizer use as well as trees and permanent crops investments, but only for CGRO plots. Conclusions The study concludes that the effects of LTF differ significantly between the land tenure systems, thus, treating LTF as a dichotomy between formalized and non-formalized is an oversimplification that could potentially mislead policy decisions. Therefore, the study recommends that the design, implementation and evaluation of LTF programs should recognize this distinction for greater clarity about LFT effects and more meaningful policy messages. The study, further, recommends strategic land policy interventions that aim to enhance land tenure security, especially in high potential areas for more socio-economically optimal outcomes of the interventions.

description: Surgical face masks reduce the spread of airborne pathogens but also disturb the flow of information between individuals. The risk of getting seriously ill after infection with SARS-COV-2 during the present COVID-19 pandemic amplifies with age, suggesting that face masks should be worn especially during face-to-face contact with and between older people. However, the ability to accurately perceive and understand communication signals decreases with age, and it is currently unknown whether face masks impair facial communication more severely in older people. We compared the impact of surgical face masks on dynamic facial emotion recognition in younger (18–30 years) and older (65–85 years) adults (N = 96) in an online study. Participants watched short video clips of young women who facially expressed anger, fear, contempt or sadness. Faces of half of the women were covered by a digitally added surgical face mask. As expected, emotion recognition accuracy declined with age, and face masks reduced emotion recognition accuracy in both younger and older participants. Unexpectedly, the effect of face masks did not differ between age groups. Further analyses showed that masks also reduced the participants’ overall confidence in their emotion judgements, but not their performance awareness (the difference between their confidence ratings for correct and incorrect responses). Again, there were no mask-by-age interactions. Finally, data obtained with a newly developed questionnaire ( attitudes towards face masks, atom ) suggest that younger and older people do not differ in how much they feel impaired in their understanding of other people’s emotions by face masks or how useful they find face masks in confining the COVID-19 pandemic. In sum, these findings do not provide evidence that the impact of face masks on the decoding of facial signals is disproportionally larger in older people.

description: Built structures increasingly dominate the Earth’s landscapes; their surging mass is currently overtaking global biomass. We here assess built structures in the conterminous US by quantifying the mass of 14 stock-building materials in eight building types and nine types of mobility infrastructures. Our high-resolution maps reveal that built structures have become 2.6 times heavier than all plant biomass across the country and that most inhabited areas are mass-dominated by buildings or infrastructure. We analyze determinants of the material intensity and show that densely built settlements have substantially lower per-capita material stocks, while highest intensities are found in sparsely populated regions due to ubiquitous infrastructures. Out-migration aggravates already high intensities in rural areas as people leave while built structures remain – highlighting that quantifying the distribution of built-up mass at high resolution is an essential contribution to understanding the biophysical basis of societies, and to inform strategies to design more resource-efficient settlements and a sustainable circular economy.

description: Until now, a large amount of effort has been spent on structuring educational repositories. Standard metadata for learning objects have been provided and large databases have been deployed both from academia, and private organizations following mainly a content-centric approach. Vice-versa, a pedagogy-centric approach to the collection and sharing of learning resources still remains under-investigated. In this paper, we provide a different perspective on repositories for education, having as a central point the “educational experience”, i.e. a detailed and structured case study by which teachers and researchers in the educational field can understand where, when and how the digital material was used, and what educational benefits were obtained. We describe a framework by which educational experiences conducted in real classes of all levels of schooling can be gathered and shared. We provide readers with an empirical validation and a numerical evaluation of the approach.

We collected adults and immatures on Elaeagnus angustifolia L., which is a confirmed host plant of T. neglecta (Loginova 1978, Lauterer and Janíček 1990). Elaeagnus angustifolia is not native to the Bulgarian flora. It is planted intentionally as an ornamental plant, to stabilise dry and eroded areas and in shelter belts. It has naturalised and become invasive in many regions of Bulgaria (Petrova et al. 2013).
Distribution

description: The impact of the developments and popularity of mobile and wireless technology has given new direction for e-learning known as m-learning. The proper assessment of the learners’ readiness to appear for placements merits attention at all levels in the learning system. Self-assessment is an important part in the learning process of the students to ensure their level of knowledge in the subjects as expected before going for interview and to decide the area to be concentrated more. In this paper, we propose mTeacher, a mobile-based self assessment system to assess the knowledge level of learners in their area of interest and to assist by giving feedback. The major objective of this study is to propose a framework and to evaluate the system and to explore the level of learners’ acceptance towards the system. In this study the five factors (result of the learners, satisfaction level of learners, convenience of learners, feedback about skill level, assisting the learner) are investigated whether they have positive influence on mTeacher or not. The feedbacks of both teachers and learners were highly motivating.

description: Understanding the learning experiences plays a vital role in identifying the suitable learning content for the learners. In this regard, the standards like the experience Application Programming Interface (xAPI) are of great help as they have the potential to record and represent the learning experiences over the e-learning environment. As the learner requirements vary with their understanding of the topics over the learning cycle, there is an inherent need for dynamic derivation of the learner’s requirement at each learning instance. However, the limitation with experience statements generated through the xAPIs is that they fail to convey the detailed information about the Learning Object (LO) or the learner who used it. This paper addresses the issues with the representation of experience statements by proposing a multidimensional view of learning experiences such that they could be analyzed effectively. The Cross Dimensional Slicing (CDS) algorithm proposed in this paper has proved that the multidimensional representation of learning experiences greatly improves the effectiveness of analyzing them and thereby improving the precision of LOs being recommended. Also, the steep increase in the accuracy of recommendation of LOs over the different batches of learners considered for the study has reduced the number of slow learners of the learning environment altogether.

description: Nowadays, one of the key challenges for distance education is to be able to verify the students’ identity in order to check if they are actually who they claim to be when they are doing their online tasks and to avoid identity thief. This can be achieved through facial authentication software. In e-learning, thanks to this technology there is a way to confirm that the students are not committing fraud in their studies and besides to improve this kind of education by equaling its validity and prestige to traditional face-to-face education. The goal of this research is to avoid fake users that perform educational tasks on behalf of others in the Learning Management Systems (LMSs), and more specifically to develop a new technique to design activities with glossaries that properly allow control of the student learning process through facial authentication software. The presented technique is composed of several steps that guide instructors in the elaboration of this kind of activities. This work has used Moodle platform for the experimentation, and analyzes the experience of 67 students with the activities designed with the presented technique.

Subjects: learning; ontologies; semantic representation; Web 2.0

description: The search for possible applications in the field of Education, by means of domain specific ontologies on the issues of assessment of learning (assessment) and system (evaluation), has been implemented through the construction, testing and evolution of an integrated learning environment called EduOntoWiki. It is supported by ontological structures related to science education based on active consent of specific communities of practice. It allows selecting and incorporating the ontologies in order to organize learning objects to improve learning process. It is created as a setting in which they had the relevant formal descriptions (coding ontology) and informal (and narrative contextualization of concepts); where the possible intra-and inter-community relations were made explicit and recognized by all participants through specific social software. The last point in particular, has led to our hypothesis: only the transition from a technology-driven model (formal, static) to a community-driven model (dynamic and integrated in an open learning environment) could make really effective and relevant the ontologies that we built in several communities of practice. Therefore, the final goal was the realization of an integrated learning environment attempting the difficult transition from an “ontological-formal” system to an “ontological-relational” one.

description: Museum narratives are created from a conceptualization of events that can be structurally organized and referred to as the story. Therefore, the main process of developing a museum narrative is one of story-building. This paper presents a methodology to enrich the creation of stories for digital storytelling. The methodology is at the basis of a smart authoring system that supports authors of digital storytelling in the identification of contents from external repositories and their automatic mapping on different narrative structures, according to syntactic and semantic rules and well- defined narrative structures. Furthermore, the methodology leverages on semantic models and technologies such as ontologies, clustering and text analysis, and supports the development of a smart environment for creation of stories starting from a set of pictures. We have validated our methodology for a specific narrative structure, i.e. the Dramatic Arc, for the creation of an educational storytelling related to the museum exhibition about Second World War.

Supporting Learning Object Repository by automatic extraction of metadata

Publisher: name: Journal of e-Learning and Knowledge Society
Year: 2015

description: The Learning Objects Repositories are electronic databases able to deliver material on the web allowing instructors sharing and reusing educational units and students accessing and enjoying them. The best way to guarantee these interactions is a good indexing. Each content needs a machine-understandable description able to declare requirements and limits for its right use and to improve any research and delivery action. These descriptions are stored in the metadata. Filling in the metadata is a boring and time-consuming activity but it is very important since it could influence the choice of the best material to deliver. This paper describes a possible methodological approach to automate this activity by extracting metadata directly from the files setting up the learning object itself. In the literature, there are many methods able to automatically characterize the technological aspects of the content, but very few of them are able to provide information about its pedagogical features. The proposed approach tries to draw together information theory, learning models, statistical analysis and ad hoc heuristics to extract a wide set of fields of the metadata. The results of a first experimentation are particularly encouraging to think about this approach as a solution to support learning object repositories and other platforms having needs to manage wide content storage and huge amount of users with various personal features, devices for interaction and goals as in the MOOCs.

description: The complexity of the current educational context, that is, the fragmentation of knowledge and the diversity which characterizes the students in our schools requires new competences. One of the answer is certainly to think about personalized path. The personalization of paths is a hard task for the teacher and, thus, the efficacy and also the sustainability of this choice need to be examined. For what concerns sustainability a solution has been provided by the interaction between the educational world and the world of knowledge engineering. The focus on the user, on intelligent systems for personalization, the adaptive and responsive design are proposals that were born with a different objective, but that have opened new perspectives also in the educational context.
Besides, such processes have linked different research fields, the one of education and the one of knowledge engineering, such connection needs a common languages and meanings to be able to produce solutions. The paper is aimed at investigating possible solutions to foster the convergence and the dialogue between the two sectors and wants to verify if the complexity of the current situation is changing the concept itself of personalization.

description: Forvm MMX is an interdisciplinary team whose members come from a variety of backgrounds (e.g., conservation, topography, biology, computer science, public dissemination, education), and whose work will offer open-access results in a digital format to other researchers and educators interested in a holistic global analysis of the documentation generated by an archaeological excavation. Since 2011, Forvm MMX received a total of €1.1 million in funding from the Regional Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sport of Andalusia to hire these specialists and to develop digital techniques. Our project has developed since its initial seasons. Upon reflection on the inner workings of how archaeological information is recorded at all phases of research, we felt it was necessary to develop a unique recording system. This system, named "Imilké" (for the princess of Cástulo), has been designed so that information derived from archaeological excavation
is simplified and rationalized.
Adaptive video streaming for Technology-Enhanced Learning in workplaces

description: In recent years, the interest has been growing in video communication for training. Video clips have become an important learning resource, both within B2B distance training service offerings and the most popular social networking portals, such as YouTube™. In this scenario, however, the technical issue of how to proficiently deliver multimedia contents over heterogeneous wired or wireless networks remains a challenging aspect.
This is mostly related to the varying characteristics of the underlying network technologies, as well as the requirement to comply with multiple platforms and end-user devices(such as desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones). To provide a stable and uniform quality of experience to e-learners, the issue of monitoring the end-user and network context should be addressed and, leveraging on this information, the multimedia content should be dynamically adapted to match the device and network characteristics.
This paper describes the Smart Multi-Channel Streaming Platform, a MPEG-DASH-based component enabling the delivery of full multichannel streaming services for media contents with a unified common standard, including on demand video clips based on the reference context. In this way, desired video quality adapts to the different Internet bandwidth and device capabilities, in order to keep a video playing. Next steps will include sensing the viewers and their surrounding environment to optimize streaming.

description: Metrication concerns the move from the historical use of feet and inches, of pounds and ounces, and of pints and gallons, to the coherent metric system in which units are inter-related. The UK's resistance to full adoption of the metric system, used by almost all other countries, has left society confused, and at an economic disadvantage.

Subjects: digital storytelling; Mandarin language teaching; technology-integrated teaching methods

description: The present study shares the experiences of a Malaysian teacher who tried to enhance the teaching and learning of Mandarin through the use of digital storytelling (DST) in a learning Mandarin as Second/Foreign Language (SL/FL) context. Research studies have shown that DST which combines the art of storytelling with a variety of digital audio, video and multimedia images are effective in enhancing language learning in a variety of contexts. It has been shown to encourage and motivate students and at the same time enhances their communication, interpersonal and technology skills. However, studies that look into the use of DST to enhance the learning of Mandarin are still lacking which make this study relevant and timely. The present study shares the Mandarin teacher’s experiences in using DST as a project for a Mandarin SL/FL course. The findings were derived from his personal reflections and his students’ questionnaires and interviews were used to cross-verify the findings. The findings of the study demonstrated that the introduction of DST had enriched the teacher and students’ experiences in a variety of ways. Despite some shortcomings the Mandarin teacher was keen to continue using it for his classes.
