Nativo digital, lector multitarea : notas sobre jóvenes, universidad y lectura en EE.UU.

Se analizan las características del lector joven universitario de Estados Unidos. Para ello se utiliza el término de nativo digital, un tipo de lector que llega a las universidades americanas ligado al desarrollo de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. En general, el hecho de estar vinculados a la era digital motiva que los jóvenes lean cada vez menos y peor. Se examina la coyuntura del lector universitario actual en relación con la situación social y cultural del momento, donde los medios electrónicos se han introducido con fuerza entre los jóvenes. En este sentido se analiza la llamada cultura participativa, en la que están presentes herramientas como la Web 2.0, páginas como MySpace, la Wikipedia, etc. Otros aspectos tratados son qué leen los jóvenes y cómo lo hacen, el comportamiento del cerebro en relación con la lectura, y la vinculación entre educación y nuevas tecnologías, situación que origina el llamado estudiante multitarea. Finalmente, se repasa el papel de las bibliotecas en cuanto a su relación con el usuario nativo digital.

Profiles of digital TV adopters in the switchover context in Portugal

In order to conduct a successful transition from analogue terrestrial television to full digital terrestrial television it is essential to identify what are the most significant drivers and barriers for adoption among the impacted population. Also importantly, it is to segment the population according with their attitudes towards digital TV, their awareness about the switchover process and intention of adopting digital TV, among other relevant topics. The tradition of profiles definition based on the adoption and rejection of innovations can be traced back to Beal & Bohlen, who proposed five categories of innovation adopters based on the time of adoption, with significant differences in selected personal and social characteristics: the innovators, the early adopters, the early majority, the majority and non-adopters. Later, Rogers would propose similar categories of adopters that became the standard for years to come: the innovators, the early adopters, the early majority, the late majority and the laggards. While helpful, these traditional innovation adopters’ profiles do not totally grasp the complexities of the adoption of an innovation such as digital TV, particularly in mandatory settings. In this paper we will propose a classification of adopters of digital TV in Portugal, based on the results of one of the four empirical studies of the research project ADOPT-DTV, namely, the quantitative inquiry administered to a representative sample of the Portuguese population. The paper will be concluded with a brief discussion of results and the enumeration of the next steps of the research project.

Drivers and barriers to digital television adoption in Portugal: the perspectives of the TV viewers and other main stakeholders

To understand what are the most significant factors for digital TV adoption by the Portuguese population in the switchover context is the main goal of the research project here presented. In April 26, 2012, the analogue terrestrial television switchoff is planned to occur in Portugal, according to the schedule published by the national telecommunication regulator Anacom. Digital terrestrial TV was launched in the country in April 2009, making Portugal one of the countries with a more ambitious schedule – or risky, depending on the perspective - for the full transition from analogue to digital terrestrial television. In this paper we will start by presenting the research project’s objectives, theoretical framework and research design. Next, we will present first results of the project focused on the barriers and drivers to digital TV adoption from two of the empirical studies which integrate it, namely, the quantitative inquiry administered to a representative sample of the Portuguese population and interviews with main stakeholders in the area of digital TV in Portugal. The perspectives of the television viewers are compared with other main stakeholders in this process. The paper will be concluded with a brief discussion of these results and a brief enumeration of next steps for the project.

Incentives and Barriers to the Adoption of Digital Terrestrial Television in Portugal: Perspectives of the stakeholders involved in the transition process

The success of the transition from analogical terrestrial television to digital terrestrial television – process also known as switch-over – requires the identification of barriers and drivers among the impacted population. Therefore, the study in which this article is based had as main purpose to understand exactly what are those barriers, in order to produce a valid contribution to the several decision makers, and to be able to contribute to a more inclusive television, accessible and transversal to the whole of the population. In that sense, one of the phases of the project consisted in several interviews to key stakeholders in the transition process, the results of which and subsequent recommendations are presented in this article.

Las prácticas de lectura en el entorno digital : industria editorial, mercado y consumo

Si bien la industria editorial ha atravesado grandes trasformaciones con la incorporación de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) en el ámbito de la producción, tanto editorial como autoral, el presente artículo atiende particularmente a las nuevas características que presentan las prácticas de lectura a partir de dicha inscripción. Se propone aquí un análisis de la cuestión de la lectura en estricta relación al nuevo escenario editorial marcado por un continuo replanteo del “quehacer editorial", del rol del editor y los diversos agentes del campo, de los soportes y formatos válidos para la lectura. La primera sección propone una sintética caracterización del funcionamiento de la industria editorial. El segundo apartado hace foco en las transformaciones puntuales del sector del libro en relación con la llegada de las tecnologías de la comunicación. La tercera parte presenta un breve repaso del estado de la cuestión vinculado a las prácticas de lectura en el entorno digital, y a continuación se desarrollan algunos rasgos y tendencias de la lectura en los soportes electrónicos en Argentina, Estados Unidos y España. El artículo concluye con una serie de reflexiones finales.

A análise digital em Portugal: um estudo empírico

O grande objetivo da Auditoria consiste em obter evidência apropriada e suficiente que forneça uma segurança elevada, embora não absoluta, de que as demonstrações financeiras estão isentas de fraude ou de erros materiais. Este objetivo exige metodologias específicas de trabalho, como a análise digital, onde predominam métodos que privilegiam análises de risco e que permitem direcionar os recursos humanos e materiais do auditor para as áreas mais críticas. A análise digital pode ser definida como um conjunto de procedimentos assentes no uso da tecnologia (softwares) para detetar erros, anomalias ou outras incorreções em amostras de registos numéricos, tais como duplicações, campos em branco ou indevidamente preenchidos, frequências anormais de números e quebras de sequências e tendências, entre outras, ou nos próprios padrões de comportamento dos números. Visa essencialmente, a deteção de fraude através da combinação da estatística com a informática. Tendo em conta estes propósitos, o objetivo deste trabalho centra-se em tentar aferir o nível de conhecimento e utilização da análise digital enquanto técnica de auditoria, em Portugal. Para conseguir atingir o objetivo proposto, serão analisados os resultados de um questionário, onde se procurará saber, entre outras coisas, que técnicas e que softwares de análise digital são utilizados para efeitos de auditoria às contas das empresas pelas entidades competentes, caso dos Revisores Oficiais de Contas. Os resultados mostram que embora os ROC tenham já um razoável nível de conhecimento e utilização das técnicas mais básicas de análise digital, e respetivos softwares, ainda há um significativo desconhecimento em relação a técnicas mais sofisticadas e potencialmente mais eficazes na deteção de erros materiais ou fraude, como a lei de Benford.

Proposal for underwater structural analysis using the techniques of ESPI and digital holography

The purpose of this article is to study the application of the holographic interferometry techniques in the structural analysis of submarine environment. These techniques are widely used today, with applications in many areas. Nevertheless, its application in submarine environments presents some challenges. The application of two techniques, electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) and digital holography, comparison of advantages and disadvantages of each of them is presented. A brief study is done on the influence of water properties and the optical effects due to suspended particles as well as possible solutions to minimize these problems. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

A Digital Game Development Education Project

The success of the digital game industry is spawning several undergraduate degrees aiming at the training of digital game developers. Building adequate new courses curricula is not a trivial task and demands a profound analysis of the scientific areas to introduce as well as the dependencies throughout the entire degree. Another important aspect of every academic educational plan are the satellite projects that promote entrepreneurship and provide practical professional experiences to students. This paper presents the main guidelines adopted in the creation of the first digital game development undergraduate degree created in Portugal.
