Active citizens and journalists in Italy are using open data and new platforms like street television to circumvent corporate media monopolies and promote civic issues. The Italian government also passed a transparency decree to increase accessibility of public administration information and encourage distributed monitoring of government activities. Community groups are emerging that focus on data journalism, technological skills sharing, and building communities of watchdogs and storytellers to empower citizens and overcome challenges of traditional media.
Laboratorio: Open Data, Comunicazione e SanitàUSAC Program
Primo incontro del laboratorio per gli studenti della LM in Scienze della Comunicazione Pubblica e Sociale coordinato da Valentina Bazzarin, che con il suo assegno di ricerca collabora al team della Regione Emilia Romagna per il progetto Sanità in Movimento. Si discuterà di dati aperti in sanità. I partecipanti avranno modo di sperimentare anche l’uso di programmi e applicazioni per l’estrazione, la lettura e la visualizzazione dei dati.
Il primo incontro è stato il 20 novembre.
[Conference] new technological élites as a tool for the citizens-relations...USAC Program
This document summarizes research on the iCity project in Bologna, Italy which aimed to engage citizens through new technologies but partially failed in technological goals. It succeeded in raising and mobilizing a "new elite of technological citizens". This was likely due to parallel efforts in Iperbole2020, the civic network of Bologna, which engaged developers and shared goals with iCity. The researchers conclude iCity catalyzed reassembling of social networks through skilled citizen relationship management, and could promote digital empowerment if leaders facilitate network relationships of the new elite.

This document provides an overview of topics in cognitive psychology related to spatial processing and attention. It discusses key concepts like attention being needed to avoid sensory overload, metaphors like the attentional bottleneck, experiments on visual attention like the spotlight metaphor and inattentional blindness. It also covers spatial representation and neglect, with neglect being linked more to attention than low-level perception. Memory and spatial representation frameworks are discussed along with disorders like Balint's syndrome affecting seeing one object at a time.
The document discusses key concepts in cognitive psychology and vision, including:
- The brain constructs a visual representation of the world rather than literally reproducing the light falling on the eyes.
- There is a difference between sensation, the basic detection of stimuli by sensory receptors, and perception, the interpretation and organization of sensory information.
- Gestalt principles explain how the brain quickly recognizes wholes and patterns rather than individual parts. Neuroscience shows certain brain regions are involved in face perception.
- Visual illusions demonstrate how perception does not always match objective reality and the brain actively interprets sensory inputs.
This document provides an overview of topics that could be covered in a cognitive psychology course. It includes lists of potential topics from previous semesters as well as the current semester. Some of the suggested topics are understanding adolescent cognition, the effects of brain damage on cognition, and cognitive psychology in literature. It also shares several external resources on subjects like neuroscience techniques, brain anatomy, and neurotransmitters.
[PSY416] Cognitive psychology L1 spring 2020USAC Program
This document outlines the syllabus for a 400-level Cognitive Psychology course. The 3-credit course will be taught by Dr. Valentina Bazzarin and explore core topics in cognitive psychology, including language, memory, attention, problem solving, and comprehension. Students will study both traditional topics and the most recent international research innovations. Assessment will include individual and group projects, tests, and a final exam. The goal is for students to understand cognitive processes and their interrelations with the brain, body, and mind, as well as cognitive psychology's influence on other fields.
Cognitive psychology hints and curiosities USAC Program
This document contains a collection of links to various articles on topics related to grey literature, including neuroethics, ethics dilemmas, eyewitness identification issues, uses of social media in psychiatry, applications of artificial intelligence, algorithms and racism, explanations of television show endings, digital burnout and autism, cognitive diversity, the relationship between Google Translate and linguistic theory, and the pronunciation of European capital cities. The document touches on several social, ethical and technological issues through brief excerpted text and embedded hyperlinks to external sources for further reading.

The document discusses the role of the hearing brain. It constructs an internal model of the world from sensory information and experience in order to interpret and act on sounds. The hearing brain extracts consistent features from varying sensory input and actively interprets what is heard. It also discusses how auditory information is processed from the cochlea to primary and secondary auditory cortex and specialized regions involved in voice perception, speech, music and amusia.

This document provides information about a 400-level Cognitive Psychology course. The 3 credit course will be taught by Dr. Valentina Bazzarin and explore topics like language, memory, attention, problem solving and more. Students will learn about cognition and how knowledge is acquired, stored, and used. Main topics will include perception, memory, attention and more. The teaching philosophy will involve experimental methods to illustrate cognitive theories. Students will provide input on the agenda and self-assessments. Assignments include two papers, presentations, and exams. The goal is for students to understand cognitive processes and the interrelation between the mind, brain and body.
This course provides an introduction to cognitive psychology and explores core topics including language, memory, attention, problem solving, and comprehension. [The course] will give particular attention to the most up-to-date international research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. Students will learn about cognition and mental processes, different methodologies used in behavioral and clinical research, and apply theories about perception, attention, and learning. Assessment will include group presentations, two individual papers, and self-assessments completed at the start of each class.

2. Definizione di Digital Divide
Il digital divide è il complesso delle disuguaglianze nell’accesso
alle tecnologie informatiche e nella partecipazione alle nuove
forme di informazione e comunicazione[1].
Divide esterno
Divide interno

3. Due linee di riflessione
Disuguaglianze nell'accesso ai servizi e alla
rete
Public Arenas (Hilgartner e Bosk) - nuovi
spazi per il dibattito
4. Definizione di disuguaglianze e
determinanti di salute
Gradiente di salute
chi si trova ad un livello socio-economico inferiore,
comprendendo anche chi si colloca in gruppi socio-
economici relativamente alti, si trova in una condizione di
salute peggiore rispetto a chi appartiene alla classi
economiche immediatamente e progressivamente
superiori.
8. Determinanti di salute
Determinanti di salute possono essere di vario tipo:
- Fattori biologici e genetici
- Il contesto culturale
- La forma del sistema sanitario
o Sistemi di mercato (Assicurazione volontaria)
o Sistemi di assicurazione sociale (modello Bismarck)
o Sistema Sanitario Nazionale (modello Beveridge)
E di particolare interesse per noi:
- I determinanti sociali
- Comportamenti individuali
9. Esempio di collegamento tra i due temi
Un esempio di punto di incontro tra questi il tema del digital
divide e quello delle health inequalities è rappresentato dall’
accesso ai contenuti digitali per utenti disabili o
svantaggiati per età.
