Universal design files
This document introduces the concept of universal design, which aims to design products and environments to be usable by people of all ages and abilities. It notes that disability is a common experience that most will face at some point in their lives. The goal of universal design is to respect human diversity and promote inclusion by designing for the widest range of potential users. It presents universal design as an ongoing process rather than a perfected achievement, since fully accommodating all people in all situations is unlikely.

Stefano Del Furia - Inclusive Design - Codemotion Rome 2019
An inclusive type of approach creates better solutions, because it aims to benefit all users, therefore also those who must cope with disabilities. Thinking in terms of accessibility throughout the entire process, enables the creation of solutions for mobile applications and websites that are actually evolved and not merely alternative. When designing for human diversity, we make possible a global kind of partecipation, with a higher impact on positivity exchange and emotional benefits than we would have when addressing just the disabilities.

The Reach for Universal Design
Universal design aims to create products and environments that can be used by all people without needing adaptation or specialized design. It involves identifying the intended users, adopting accessibility guidelines, and applying those guidelines to ensure equitable use, flexibility, simplicity, perceptible information, tolerance for error, low physical effort, and appropriate size and space. An example is designing schools to be accessible to all students regardless of their reading level, learning styles, language, or disabilities through principles of universal design in instructional methods and course materials.
Universal design
Universal design, also called universal design for learning (UDL), is the design of environments to be accessible and usable by people of all abilities and learning styles. UDL aims to make environments inclusive for people with disabilities, minorities, the elderly, and those with different learning styles. It does this by recognizing that not everyone can be treated equally and expected to achieve the same outcomes. UDL increases accessibility and makes all people feel included through its principles of representation, equitable use, flexibility, perceptible information and more.

International NGOs play an important role in providing prosthetics and orthotics in developing countries. This document profiles three NGOs - Handicap International, Cambodia Trust, and ROMP. It provides an overview of each organization's mission, history of work, country presence, and approach to helping meet the major global need for prosthetic and orthotic care. An estimated 25.5 million people require devices, with needs often differing from Western countries and orthotics outweighing prosthetics. NGOs can operate programs, advocate for policies, and build local capacity in resource-limited areas.
Engineering to Support Disability
This document discusses how engineering can better support disability by considering disability as a normal part of human diversity rather than something to be cured or fixed. It argues that universal design which aims to maximize usability for all people, including those with disabilities, benefits society as a whole. When engineers consult disabled people and incorporate principles of universal design, infrastructure like transportation systems, buildings, and technology can be accessible to the widest range of users. The document also notes that many places in the developing world rely heavily on mobile technology, showing its potential to improve participation when designed accessibly.

Collective Intelligence
Collective intelligence relies on the contributions of individuals working together as a group. It emerges from the collaboration and synergy between group members. While collective intelligence can produce results greater than any individual, it also faces potential pitfalls like groupthink, social dilemmas, and coordination failures that inhibit its effectiveness. Proper incentives and structures are needed to maximize collective intelligence by encouraging diversity, participation, and coordination among group members.
iWalker: Toward a Rollator-Mounted Wayfinding System for the Elderly
Research on intelligent walkers aims at helping
elderly individuals to maintain their independence in familiar
and unfamiliar environments. Several walkers have been
developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and
the University of Pittsburgh. This article contributes to this
research venue by describing the design and initial evaluations
of iWalker, a multi-sensor rollator-mounted wayfinding system
for the elderly. The primary difference of the proposed
navigation aid from other intelligent walkers is that iWalker is
assumed to operate in a smart world (SW), a physical space
equipped with embedded sensors. By integrating inexpensive
sensors into the environment, the cost and complexity of the
walker can be reduced.
AIFREE Document Essay
The document discusses the history and background of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It was signed into law in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush to protect the civil rights of people with disabilities in areas like employment, transportation, public accommodation, and telecommunications. The foundation of the ADA was the disability rights movement, which fought for equal rights and against exclusion of people with disabilities through protests and legal action. The disability rights movement helped make the injustices faced by disabled people visible and drove the creation of the ADA to protect their civil rights.

Extending human capabilities: Design for people, not around
A commonly held perspective is that humans are the source of error in systems and thus, something to design around - often framing things in terms of cognitive biases or human error. The goal in these systems is to reduce human input, often to the point of eliminating them from the system altogether.
But there is another way to think about the human role - a positive perspective that considers and takes advantage of human capabilities. This sees the human operator as a valuable contributor that is essential for system success.
This presentation walks through some commonly held views on humans and presents an alternate perspective that puts humans in a better light. It also describes how this perspective impacts how we design systems so that we can help reduce the blind spots that are created when we try to take people out of a system.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.
