Abstract In this paper we show how it is possible to measure ECG signal with telemetric ECG body-sensor during physical activity in regular conditions. Based on previous studies we choose position and type of fixation for sensor. Participant made three different tests, first test was shuttle run test where speed of running was increased every minute, second test was Cooper 2400 m test, and... In this paper we show how it is possible to measure ECG signal with telemetric ECG body-sensor during physical activity in regular conditions. Based on previous studies we choose position and type of fixation for sensor. Participant made three different tests, first test was shuttle run test where speed of running was increased every minute, second test was Cooper 2400 m test, and third test was 100 m maximal sprint. We measure ECG signal in all three tests and analyse it with special software for Holter analysis. Read More Read Less

Abstract The 10 Cubes for training and assessment of precise movements with upper extremities has been developed for 3D virtual reality. The system comprises of an infrared stereo camera for hand/finger movements detection and a 3D head mounted device. In the small scale study 13 persons with Parkinson’s disease participated. The participants were randomized into 2 groups; one using a laptop and the other using... The 10 Cubes for training and assessment of precise movements with upper extremities has been developed for 3D virtual reality. The system comprises of an infrared stereo camera for hand/finger movements detection and a 3D head mounted device. In the small scale study 13 persons with Parkinson’s disease participated. The participants were randomized into 2 groups; one using a laptop and the other using a 3D head mounted device. The 2-week protocol with 10 sessions, each lasting for 30 min revealed that participants improved some functions by clinical means besides the successful game performance. The kinematics of the hand movements and the outcomes of the clinical test Box & blocks improved for both groups. Read More Read Less

Abstract Teaching and learning using digital technology is a concern to policy makers in Italy. All the European states are concerned about cognitonics in education. How will the emerging Digital Italy project affect emerging adults in the knowledge economy? What can be gained by expanding broadband capacity to all of Italy’s school population and at what cost? Does the use of emerging technology improve... Teaching and learning using digital technology is a concern to policy makers in Italy. All the European states are concerned about cognitonics in education. How will the emerging Digital Italy project affect emerging adults in the knowledge economy? What can be gained by expanding broadband capacity to all of Italy’s school population and at what cost? Does the use of emerging technology improve human contact and does it create opportunity for youth employment after graduation? Will university enrollment increase? This paper provides a snapshot of the cyber readiness of Italy at the midpoint of deploying Digital Italy. Read More Read Less

Abstract This study investigates the effectiveness of mobile video games for learning English language vocabulary among Chinese students in comparison with more standard electronic dictionary learning. This involved an ethnographic study of students in their natural learning environment which was followed by classroom testing of vocabulary proficiency. Results show that educational video games can both improve the student learning experience and student results when combined... This study investigates the effectiveness of mobile video games for learning English language vocabulary among Chinese students in comparison with more standard electronic dictionary learning. This involved an ethnographic study of students in their natural learning environment which was followed by classroom testing of vocabulary proficiency. Results show that educational video games can both improve the student learning experience and student results when combined with traditional methods. Read More Read Less
