A Modular Mobile Device for Real-Time 3D Streaming

In recent years, 3D movies and streaming films have become increasingly popular. Even mobile devices, such as mobile phones and tablet computers, are becoming more popular, more powerful and have better multimedia capabilities. Nevertheless, compact mobile devices to broadcast live 3D videos in real time are barely available. In this article, we provide a modular and mobile solution that allows 3D video streaming in real time at 25 frames per second and with a resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels (720p). As operating system, we use standard hardware components combined with Android. Furthermore, we will describe the restraints of the development, and how they were solved.In den letzten Jahren sind 3D-Filme und das Streamen von Filmen immer populärer geworden. Auch mobile Endgeräte, wie Smartphones oder Tablet Computer, nehmen an Verbreitung zu, werden leistungsstärker und verfügen über verbesserte Multimediafähigkeiten. Trotzdem gibt es kaum kompakte mobile Geräte, um live 3D-Videos in Echtzeit zu übertragen. In diesem Artikel stellen wir eine modulare und mobile Lösung vor, die es ermöglicht, 3D-Videos in Echtzeit, bei 25 Bildern pro Sekunde und mit einer Auflösung von 1280 × 720 Pixeln (720p) zu senden. Dabei verwenden wir Standard-Hardware-Komponenten und nutzen Android als Betriebssystem. Des Weiteren beschreiben wir, welche Schwierigkeiten bei der Entwicklung auftraten und wie diese gelöst wurden

Cine y deporte en escena: discursos de la prensa platense sobre el entretenimiento popular durante la década de 1930

Exploraremos a continuación distintos artículos periodísticos que tematizaron la popularización del cine y el deporte en la ciudad de La Plata a lo largo de la década de 1930. Lo haremos a partir de notas, artículos y colaboraciones publicadas en uno de los dos matutinos que en esa década se publicaban en la ciudad, El Argentino, incorporando también algunos artículos del semanario Eva. Hebdomadario de la mujer platense, editado en 1936 por un grupo de alumnas de la Escuela Argentina de Periodismo. Nuestros objetivos son dos: por un lado, iniciar una reconstrucción empírica de las características generales que dichos entretenimientos populares asumieron en la ciudad de La Plata en estos años. Paralelamente, avanzar en una dimensión cualitativa que reponga las especificidades de discursos que, al tematizar el cine y el deporte, produjeron sentidos y representaciones sobre dichos entretenimientos y sus espectadores.Mesa 46: Homo Ludens.

Social norms and climate-friendly behavior of adolescents

Adolescents are the decision-makers of the future, and as educational research shows, behaviors, habits, and attitudes established at young age strongly shape behavior in adulthood. Therefore, it is important to understand what factors shape young people’s climate-relevant behavior. In this study, we examine how information about peer behavior affects adolescents’ perception of prevailing social norms and own decision-making. Experimentally, we manipulated whether adolescents received information about other young people’s (lack of) support for climate protection, operationalized as a donation to a CO2 offsetting scheme. We find that empirical expectations shifted for all age groups when the information revealed that peers donated nothing or only small amounts. Donation behavior and the normative assessment, however, changed only in the younger age groups. Our study illustrates the caution that must be exercised when others’ behavior becomes visible or is deliberatively made salient in order to induce behavioral change, especially among young individuals

Inspection looks: the popular libraries of the La Plata party according to the reports of the Protective Commission, 1919-1945

(Spa) Entre las décadas de 1910 y 1940 en los barrios de distintas ciudades argentinas se fundaron centenares de bibliotecas populares que obtuvieron la protección de la Comisión Protectora de Bibliotecas Populares (repartición del Ministerio de Justicia e Instrucción Pública). En el presente artículo abordaremos los distintos informes de inspección que los/as inspectores/as de dicha Comisión elaboraron a partir de sus visitas a las bibliotecas populares del Partido de La Plata (Capital de la Provincia de Buenos Aires) entre 1919 y 1945, período de expansión de la ciudad y del número de bibliotecas. Buscando exceder -sin desatender- el plano descriptivo que este tipo de fuente documental puede brindarnos (fecha de fundación, cantidad y calidad de libros, aspecto de las salas de las bibliotecas, etc.), partimos del concepto de mirada(s), el cual nos permite atender a las atribuciones de sentidos operadas por estos/as funcionarios/as acerca de las bibliotecas populares inspeccionadas, sus contextos de inserción barrial, sus dirigentes y sus materiales bibliográficos.(Eng) Between the decades of 1910 and 1940, in the neighborhoods of different Argentine cities, hundreds of popular libraries were founded and obtained the protection of the Protective Commission of Popular Libraries (state agency of the Ministry of Justice and Public Instruction). In this article, we will deal with the different inspection reports that the inspectors of said Commission elaborated from their visits to the popular libraries of the Party of La Plata (Capital of the Province of Buenos Aires) between 1919 and 1945, period of expansion of the city and the number of libraries. Tryin to exceed - without neglecting - the descriptive plan that this type of documentary source can offer us (date of foundation, quantity and quality of books, aspect of library rooms, etc.), we start from the concept of look(s) , which It allows us to attend to the attributions of senses operated by these officials regarding the popular libraries inspected, their neighborhood insertion contexts, their leaders, and their bibliographic material

Protection of Animals and Animal Experimentation: A Survey of Scientific Experts

This article summarizes information from a survey of biomedical scientists, specifically pharmacologists and toxicologists, on the use of laboratory animals and the potential for replacing their use with alternative methods for the development and evaluation of pharmaceutical substances. The majority of those surveyed felt that the alternatives could supplement or complement animal tests, but not replace the tests altogether. However, most favored the use of nonsentient material in safety tests
