Despite great progress made in the theory of agglomeration in recent years, a number of gaps remain in our ability to understand why cities continue to have such attractive power in the new economy. Many of the most recent theories of agglomeration attempt to understand cities or clusters as loci of knowledge development and exchange, critical to higher levels of innovation and growth. Yet they...

Abstract Introduction The SARS-CoV2/COVID-19 pandemic represented an unprecedented emergency prompting a drive to minimise non-essential patient contact and the need for virtual fracture clinic (VFC); uncommon practice in paediatric units. Management of fractures requires greater degree vigilance safeguard children. current climate has created social challenges that theoretically increase risk ...

Most face detection algorithms locate faces by classifying the content of a detection window iterating over all positions and scales of the input image. Recent developments have accelerated this process up to real-time performance at high levels of accuracy. However, even the best of today’s computational systems are far from being able to compete with the detection capabilities of the human vi...

Because of the suspension face-to-face (F2F) teaching activities caused by COVID-19, practitioners are in limbo regarding assessment young learners (YLs) virtual learning environment, as they left with minimal guidance and evidence on what can be applicable effective new context. In many countries worldwide, a consequence COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, schools Greece were closed March 2020. School...

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on higher education sector has been overwhelming, with emergency responses that have affected decision-making processes. Yet, our understanding instructors’ perspectives regarding process data-driven decisions, especially in times emergency, is still limited. We aimed at characterizing types decisions instructors made their courses. This was done while asking...

Global educational systems had not anticipated that one day, overnight, they would have to move their traditional teaching online learning. This was disruptive and highlighted the need for future designed bridge gap between face-to-face (f2f) learning with minimal disruption. We present statistical evidence learners in flipped f2f classes did experience disruption when moved fully online. On co...
