The aim of this study was to analyzing and modeling domestic activities (i.e. what people do in the home). The ultimate goal is to help to design ubiquitous technologies which are context sensitive and which really fit with our needs.

Acceptability of case ellipsis on focused subjects and objects exhibits clear asymmetry which so far has not received a plausible explanation. Case ellipsis on focused direct objects occurs naturally, whereas case ellipsis on focused transitive subjects is unnatural whether the subject is contrastively focused or not. The main purpose of this paper is to provide experimental evidence that the d...

Abstract How can one conclude that well-being is higher in country A than B, when being measured according to the way people think about well-being? We address this issue by proposing a new culturally sensitive method comparing societal levels of well-being. support our reasoning with data on life satisfaction and interdependent happiness focusing individual family, collected mostly from studen...

We prove that a variant of the insertion encoding of Albert, Linton and Ruškuc for any class of pattern avoiding permutations is context-senstive. It follows that every finitely based class of permutations bijects to a context-sensitive language.

We establish a bijection from the set of all permutations (of a given length) that avoid a pattern q and a context-sensitive language.

This article presents a brief history of the Information Society and a research framework that is intended to address the challenges of ensuring that information and communication technologies are applied in ways that are enabling and responsive to the varied contexts in which people live their lives. ICT policies have come to be reasonably well-accepted as components of broader development pol...
