The intangible assets are made up of a set of generic and specific resources and skills which are also represented by the image of company. Such image is built up by a brand that is considered a symbolic attribute of a product. A brand drives a comp...

Computational Approaches to Studying the Co-Evolution of Networks and Behavior in Social Dilemmas by Rense Corten

Corten’s book addresses an interesting topic: how can we model how social network and actors’ traits co-evolve? This research question is relevant from a theoretical and an empirical point of view: theoretical models offered to explain stylized facts are rarely empirically tested; empirical research, on the other side, often lacks theoretical foundations. Following the stream of literature on computational sociology (Fararo and Hummon 1995), Corten argues that computational approaches could r...

Agent-Based and Individual-Based Modeling: A Practical Introduction by Steven F. Railsback and Volker Grimm

When you see students confronted with Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) for the first time, you see people challenged but also excited by the idea of ‘playing’ with a social phenomenon – or at least a simpler version of it – while they see it running in a computer. They immediately get the idea of ABMs as magnifying glasses that help them to see the macro-micro-macro link in action. We train students to develop their theories from observation and imagination, by looking at statistics to receive so...

IAVRS—International Affective Virtual Reality System: Psychometric Assessment of 360° Images by Using Psychophysiological Data

Virtual Reality is an effective technique for eliciting emotions. It provides immersive and ecologically valid emotional experiences while maintaining experimental control. Recently, novel VR forms like 360° videos have been used successfully for emotion elicitation. Some preliminary databases of 360° videos for emotion elicitation have been proposed, but they tapped mainly into an emotional dimensional approach and did not include a concurrent physiological assessment of an emotional profile...

“La classe degli asini” approda in TV: un caso di odierna rappresentazione audiovisiva dello storico processo di integrazione degli alunni con disabilità

Il 14 novembre 2016 fu trasmesso su Rai1 il film “La classe degli asini”, diretto da Andrea Porporati.

Insegnante rigorosa e paladina della trasmissione “vecchia maniera” del sapere, Mirella (Vanessa Incontrada) si trova ben presto a mettere in di...
