Digicraft and 'Systemic' Thinking in Digital Humanities Reasoning on the Per...Laboratorio di Cultura Digitale, Università di Pisa
This document discusses the need for a unified, systemic approach to digital humanities (DH) projects. It provides examples of several current DH projects that demonstrate this approach. The projects are interdisciplinary, combining skills from various fields. They also embrace openness and are "born digital." The document argues that DH projects function best as "digital crafts" or "Renaissance workshops," bringing together students, scholars, technicians and others with diverse skills to achieve a shared vision. It concludes that a systemic, holistic view of DH helps address the excessive specialization that has separated the humanities and sciences.Smart Aarhus Brussels Sept 2013

This short presentation is concerned with some of the important changes that impact upon cultural heritage in the contemporary world, and is based on the work being undertaken by RICHES – Renewal, Innovation, and Change: Heritage and European Society – a research project funded by the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme. The project’s main objective is to reduce the distance between people and culture, recalibrating the relationship between heritage professionals and heritage users in order to maximise cultural creativity and ensure that all of Europe can benefit from the social and economic potential of cultural heritage.
Cultural Heritage is made, held, collected, curated, exhibited, or simply exists in many arenas. In this context, it is possible to speak of the ‘decentring’ of culture and cultural heritage away from institutional structures towards the individual. Undeniably, the nature of the change brought about by the pace and scope of developments in digital technology is unprecedented. With the advent of digitisation and the migration from the analogue to the digital, what demands have arisen in relation to how we understand, collect and make available Europe’s cultural heritage? In what ways is the individual forcing a rethinking of the institution and how can the latter renew and remake themselves? What hierarchies of knowledge, expertise and authority in cultural heritage are being disrupted, transformed or undermined by the digital? Beyond this, the talk will consider how citizens can play a co-creative role in cultural heritage, the significance of identity and ‘belonging’, and the importance of cultural heritage as a force in economic development. Researchers as well as policy makers, funding bodies and managers of cultural heritage institutions and sector professionals are all challenged by these questions as they engage with the transmission and exploitation of cultural heritage. The talk will present evidence and recommendations emerging from the research undertaken and is located within the broad context of debates and discussion about the value, preservation, promotion and future of Europe’s cultural heritage.

In what ways is the individual forcing a rethinking of the institution and how can the latter renew and remake themselves? What hierarchies of knowledge, expertise and authority in cultural heritage are being disrupted, transformed or undermined by the digital? Beyond this, the talk will consider how citizens can play a co-creative role in cultural heritage, the significance of identity and ‘belonging’, and the importance of cultural heritage as a force in economic development. Researchers as well as policy makers, funding bodies and managers of cultural heritage institutions and sector professionals are all challenged by these questions as they engage with the transmission and exploitation of cultural heritage. The talk will present evidence and recommendations emerging from the research undertaken and is located within the broad context of debates and discussion about the value, preservation, promotion and future of Europe’s cultural heritage.
Learning Cities- John Worthington of DEGW, April 2010
The document discusses the concept of "learning cities" and how cities can be designed to facilitate lifelong learning. It argues that cities should be viewed as continuous learning landscapes where the boundaries between living, learning, working and leisure are blurred. New models of educational facilities focus on more collaborative and hands-on learning experiences that take place both inside and outside of traditional classrooms.
Cultureplex Lab Presentation
The CulturePlex Lab at Western University studies complexity in cultural systems through an interdisciplinary approach. The lab applies complexity theory to analyze aspects of the Hispanic Baroque, such as its constitution, religious expressions, and urban aspects. By using computational tools, the lab seeks to understand the flow of cultural ideas across time and space. The lab also develops tools and projects like virtual language learning labs and mobile learning games to advance knowledge mobilization and digital literacy.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
