On the testability of WCAG 2.0 for beginners

Web accessibility for people with disabilities is a highly visible area of research in the field of ICT accessibility, including many policy activities across many countries. The commonly accepted guidelines for web accessibility (WCAG 1.0) were published in 1999 and have been extensively used by designers, evaluators and legislators. W3C-WAI published a new version of these guidelines (WCAG 2.0) in December 2008. One of the main goals of WCAG 2.0 was testability, that is, WCAG 2.0 should be either machine testable or reliably human testable. In this paper we present an educational experiment performed during an intensive web accessibility course. The goal of the experiment was to assess the testability of the 25 level-A success criteria of WCAG 2.0 by beginners. To do this, the students had to manually evaluate the accessibility of the same web page. The result was that only eight success criteria could be considered to be reliably human testable when evaluators were beginners. We also compare our experiment with a similar study published recently. Our work is not a conclusive experiment, but it does suggest some parts of WCAG 2.0 to which special attention should be paid when training accessibility evaluator

Applying A Methodology For Educating Students With Special Needs: A Case Study

The introduction of innovative educational technologies opens up new ways of interacting with students. We propose to exploit this potential to help in the education of children with special needs. We analyze the state of the art of tools supporting the teaching process, focusing on the omissions of existing research. We propose a new framework to help throughout the whole teaching process and describe its application to Proyecto Aprender (Learn Project), an educational resource targeting children with learning difficulties. Finally, we outline some conclusions and current/future research lines

Main clinical considerations of bioceramic cement in endodontic treatment: a brief systematic review

Introduction: Endodontic treatment is usually indicated when periapical lesions are found, deep caries reach the pulp chamber, or in specific cases of prosthetic rehabilitation. The repair of periapical tissues depends on the total obturation of the root canal system and its hermetic sealing employing physically and biologically compatible materials. Objective: A brief systematic review was carried out to list the main clinical studies on the use of bioceramic cement in endodontic treatments and endodontic surgery. Methods: The rules of the Systematic Review-PRISMA Platform (Transparent reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analysis-HTTP://www.prisma-statement.org/) were followed. The research was carried out from May 2022 to June 2022 and developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: Current endodontic surgery has achieved high success rates, through the use of modern techniques such as operative microscopy, ultrasonic inserts, and the choice of good materials to fill the retro filling cavity. MTA was the first bioceramic cement developed and has provided much better results than previously used materials, such as amalgam and Super Eba. This is mainly due to its better sealing properties and its low cytotoxicity. MTA is still the standard material of choice for most endodontists who opt for Endodontic Surgery. However, new bioceramic types of cement are being developed rapidly, trying to improve biological responses, accelerate tissue regeneration, and decrease the rate of residual microorganisms

ALMA observations of the Red Rectangle, a preliminary analysis

We aim to study equatorial disks in rotation and axial outflows in post-AGB objects, as to disclose the formation and shaping mechanisms in planetary nebulae. So far, both disks and outflows had not been observed simultaneously. We have obtained high-quality ALMA observations of 12CO and 13CO J=3-2 and 12CO J=6-5 line emission in the Red Rectangle, the only post-AGB/protoplanetary object in which a disk in rotation has been mapped up to date. These observations provide an unprecedented description of the complex structure of this source. Together with an equatorial disk in rotation, we find a low-velocity outflow that occupies more or less the region placed between the disk and the optical X-shaped nebula. From our observations and preliminary modeling of the data, we confirm the previously known properties of the disk and obtain a first description of the structure, dynamics, and physical conditions of the outflow.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure

El estudio de la cultura organizacional a través de prácticas : una propuesta a la luz del legado de Bourdieu

O objetivo deste artigo é propor o estudo da cultura organizacional por meio das práticas de gestão, à luz do quadro teórico de Bourdieu. Para tanto, apresenta-se como objetivo secundário analisar o estado da arte dos estudos organizacionais que empregam esse quadro teórico. Inicialmente, é apresentada uma categorização das tendências predominantes no estudo da cultura e discorre-se sobre esse conceito, salientando sua abordagem como diretamente relacionada às práticas. O foco do estudo é a prática de gestão, entendida como manifestação cultural da organização, através da qual são trazidos à baila aspectos normativos, simbólicos, semânticos e de valores organizacionais. O recorte adotado restringiu-se à teoria da ação prática, de Bourdieu. Foi realizada uma revisão da produção acadêmica brasileira e estrangeira que empregou o quadro teórico de Bourdieu, por meio de levantamento e análise de artigos publicados em periódicos científicos, no período compreendido entre janeiro de 2003 e dezembro de 2013. A análise do estado da arte dos estudos organizacionais, efetuada em 74 artigos selecionados, 24 brasileiros e 50 estrangeiros, os quais se valem dos conceitos centrais da teoria da ação prática, revelou a carência do emprego associado dos construtos habitus, campo e capital em trabalhos sobre práticas como meio de manifestações da cultura organizacional. Por fim, propõe-se uma agenda de pesquisa que emprega o legado teórico bourdieusiano em estudos culturais em organizações, justificada ante a lacuna de esforços em abordagens culturais com a base teórica em questão.The purpose of this paper is to analyze the study of organizational culture through its management practices, based on Bourdieu's theoretical framework. In order to achieve this, it has a secondary objective, which is to analyze the state of the art of organizational studies that employ this theoretical framework. Initially, a categorization of the prevailing trends in the study of culture is presented, followed by a discussion over the concept, which highlights its approach as directly related to practices. The focus of this study is the management practice, understood as a cultural manifestation of the organization, through which normative, symbolic, semantic and organizational values are broached. The adopted cutting was restricted to Bourdieu's Theory of Practical Action. Brazilian and foreign academic literature that employed this theoretical framework was reviewed through the survey and analysis of articles published in scientific journals from January 2003 to December 2013. The analysis of the state of the art of organizational studies, comprising 74 selected articles, of which 24 are Brazilian and 50 are foreign, all making use of the central concepts of the Theory of Practical Action, revealed a deficiency of the associate employment of habitus, field and capital constructs in studies concerning practices as manifestations of organizational culture. Finally, a research agenda that employs the Bourdieusian theoretical legacy in cultural studies in organizations is proposed, which is justified in view of the gap in cultural approaches to the theoretical basis in question.El objetivo de este trabajo es proponer el estudio de la cultura organizacional a través de las prácticas de gestión, basado en el marco teórico de Bourdieu.

Por último, se propone un programa de investigación que emplea legado teórico bourdieusiano en los estudios culturales en las organizaciones, justificados ante la brecha de los esfuerzos brecha en los enfoques culturales de la base teórica tratada
