The Tycoon and the Tough: towards a comparative anthropology of urban marginality
Anthropologists often use key figures, such as the street tough, the child witch, and the flaneur, as a means to elucidate, personify, and critique underlying dynamics of social and cultural transformation. It is a method that is widely used, but seldom scrutinised. In this lecture Joshua Barker uses examples from his research in the slums of Bandung, Indonesia, to argue that this method can make a powerful contribution to a comparative anthropology of urban marginality.

The mechanisms of boiling (video)
Boiling is an effective way to remove heat. It is used as cooling medium in many industrial power such as power plants. The mechanisms governing the different regimes occurring during the boiling of a liquid usually are complex and often intertwined. It is important to know them and identify them in the laboratory. In particular, the detailed understanding of the boiling crisis, well known and feared for the damage that can result in practice is of primary importance. (For the boiling of a s
Physique et médecine : l'imagerie médicale (video)
L'imagerie médicale a sans aucun doute entraîné ces vingt dernières années une transformation radicale dans la façon d'aborder le diagnostic et le suivi thérapeutique. Un diagnostic de localisation d'une lésion cérébrale qui nécessitait un examen clinique long et minutieux par un neurologue expérimenté se fait aujourd'hui avec une précision millimétrique grâce au scanner ou à l'imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM). Là où le maître entouré de ses élèves démontrait

Carey Drayton: What Matters to Me and Why
Carey Drayton, chief of the USC Department of Public Safety, addresses the topic "What Matters to Me and Why" on Jan. 20, 2010.
"What Matters to Me and Why" is bridges the separation between intellectual life and personal and spiritual issues by having featured USC faculty and administrators spend about 20 minutes addressing the topic "What Matters to Me and Why," followed by an informal dialogue rounding out the hour.
The program is sponsored by the USC Office of Religious Life and the USC Le
Transforming classroom teaching & learning through technology: Analysis of a case study
The paper discusses the results of a research project based on the field testing of a course aimed at developing arithmetic problem solving skills in primary school pupils. The course was designed to incorporate e-learning techniques, including the use of ARI@ITALES authoring tools. These tools allowed the integration in the course of constructivist activities based on interaction with a set of different microworlds. The aims of the project were twofold: to analyse how the adopted approach and t

Constructive Interactions
The new paradigm of "knowledge construction using experiential based and collaborative learning approaches" is an outstanding opportunity for interdisciplinary research. This document is an attempt to introduce and exemplify as much as possible using the lexicon of "social sciences", considerations and tools belonging to "artificial intelligence" (eg.:the machine learning tradition).
In the paper we first draw a conceptual framework for rational agents in conversational interaction; then we use
Incorporating e-learning into a Local Government Authority Context: Evaluating Developers' Perspecti
In this paper, we describe the evaluation of an e-learning project. The Learning Ladder developed a number of elearning modules for local government staff on recurrent working practices. The modules feature the use of short video clips as a means to support and encourage organisational learning.
We report on one part of the evaluation: namely, the qualitative analysis of data from developers. We focus on three aspects: developersÂ’ perceptions of video clips for learners to reflect upon example
Computing Ontology Creation
In this paper an approach for the development of an Ontology for the domain of Computing Education is presented. This approach was applied in the FP5 IST Project DIOGENE - A Training Web Broker for ICT Professionals. I am outlining our work on the Computing Ontology creation, and am giving some guidelines and hints for further usage of the Ontology.
Developing nursing expertise in simulation-based learning environments
The work of nurse anaesthetists is carried out in a highly technological
environment, where patient care is provided in close collaboration with other
members of hospital staff. The expertise of these nurses and how this is
developed is of vital importance. Furthermore, the use of computerised
pedagogical tools to support learning within an educational setting is of special
interest. The main aim of this paper is to investigate how the use of one of these
tools, a simulation based learning envir
A Tailorable Collaborative Learning System that Combines OGSA Grid Services and IMS-LD Scripting
This paper presents Gridcole, a new collaborative learning system that can be easily tailored by educators in order to support their own CSCL scenarios, using computing services provided by third parties in the form of OGSA grid services. Educators employ scripts in order to describe the sequence of learning activities and required tools, with standard IMS-LD notation. Thus, through the integration of coarse-grained tools, that may even offer supercomputing capabilities or use specific hardware
