The recent reprinting of Álvaro de Silva’s 1998 edition of a selection of More’s letters prompts the author to examine the subject of Spanish translations of More, and of de Silva’s general commentary on More’s correspondence and on his relationship to other humanists. The author reflects on aspects of More’s personality as exposed in his letters and uses what he finds as a corrective to several biographical misconceptions. He points out the strengths and weaknesses of de Silva’s work and compares it with that of other translators, particularly Elizabeth Rogers, and notes the particularly Spanish quality of de Silva’s edition.

The development and high growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) have improved quality of life and strengthened different areas in society. Many cities worldwide are looking forward to becoming smart. One of the most popular use cases in smart cities is the implementation of smart parking solutions, as they allow people to optimize time, reduce fuel consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions. Smart parking solutions have a defined architecture with particular components (sensors, communication protocols, and software solutions). Although there are only three components that compose a smart parking solution, it is important to mention that each component has many types that can be used in the deployment of these solutions. This paper identifies the most used types of every component and highlights usage trends in the established analysis period. It provides a complementary perspective and represents a very useful source of information. The scientific community could use this information to decide regarding the selection of types of components to implement a smart parking solution. For this purpose, herein we review several works related to smart parking solutions deployment. To achieve this goal, a semi-cyclic adaptation of the action research methodology combined with a systematic review is used to select papers related to the subject of study. The most relevant papers were reviewed to identify subcategories for each component; these classifications are presented in tables to mark the relevance of each paper accordingly. Trends of usage in terms of sensors, protocols and software solutions are analyzed and discussed in every section. In addition to the trends of usage, this paper determines a guide of complementary features from the type of components that should be considered when implementing a smart parking solution.

Wearable sensors are de facto revolutionizing the assessment of standing balance. The aim of this work is to review the state-of-the-art literature that adopts this new posturographic paradigm, i.e., to analyse human postural sway through inertial sensors directly worn on the subject body. After a systematic search on PubMed and Scopus databases, two raters evaluated the quality of 73 full-text articles, selecting 47 high-quality contributions. A good inter-rater reliability was obtained (Cohen’s kappa = 0.79). This selection of papers was used to summarize the available knowledge on the types of sensors used and their positioning, the data acquisition protocols and the main applications in this field (e.g., “active aging”, biofeedback-based rehabilitation for fall prevention, and the management of Parkinson’s disease and other balance-related pathologies), as well as the most adopted outcome measures. A critical discussion on the validation of wearable systems against gold standards is also presented.

The aim of the study was to study the available approaches to the formulation and quality control of forensic medical expert conclusions. We have studied the literature sources containing recommendations on drawing up expert opinions and improving their quality. After a selection of scientific publications and publications on the subject matter with the help of a descriptive method, the article presents the existing approaches to this problem. As a result of the conducted research, the absence of any general objective requirements for expert conclusions was revealed. The development of unified standards for writing and the definition of “signs of quality” of expert conclusions is a promising task of forensic science and practice, the solution of which will improve the quality of examinations.

The importance of the position / function of the media as an integral part of learning, it is important to get the attention of the teacher. Therefore, teachers should not only understand the concept of learning media, the type / variety, criteria and procedures as well as the election process, but also on the principle of utilization and possible problems. Media so that learning can be planned and used in an integrated and precise in learning activities, then in this paper will discuss criteria for the selection of media and the steps, use of media and the possibility of various problems to be faced. Some criteria for media selection are (1) compliance with the learning objectives to be achieved, (2) support the subject matter to be discussed, (3) practical, flexible, and easy to be used, (4) in accordance with the knowledge and skills of teachers to use it, ( 5) according to the characteristics and the number of goals that will use them (small, medium, or large), and (6) the quality or the technical quality of the type of media that will be used, (7) affordability of the financial capacity of the procurement, (8) the availability of instructional media needed in the market, and (9) is compatible with the device or the facilities available or already owned. AbstrakPentingnya kedudukan/fungsi media sebagai bagian integral dalam pembelajaran, perlu kiranya mendapatkan perhatian para guru. Oleh sebab itu, guru seyogianya tidak hanya memahami konsep tentang media pembelajaran, jenis/ragamnya, kriteria dan prosedur serta proses pemilihannya, tetapi juga mengenai prinsip pemanfaatannya dan kemungkinan permasalahan yang terjadi. Agar media pembelajaran dapat direncanakan dan dimanfaatkan secara terpadu dan tepat di dalam kegiatan pembelajaran, maka di dalam tulisan ini akan dibahas kriteria pemilihan media dan langkah-langkahnya, pemanfaatan media dan kemungkinan berbagai permasalahan yang akan dihadapi. Beberapa kriteria pemilihan media adalah: (1) kesesuaian dengan tujuan pembelajaran yang ingin dicapai, (2) mendukung materi pelajaran yang akan dibahas, (3) praktis, luwes, dan mudah dimanfaatkan, (4) sesuai dengan pengetahuan dan keterampilan guru untuk memanfaatkannya, (5) sesuai dengan karakteristik dan jumlah sasaran yang akan memanfaatkannya (kelompok kecil, sedang, atau besar), dan (6) mutu atau kualitas teknis jenis media yang akan dimanfaatkan, (7) keterjangkuan kemampuan finansial untuk pengadaannya, (8) ketersediaan media pembelajaran yang dibutuhkan di pasaran, dan (9) kompatibel dengan perangkat atau fasilitas yang tersedia atau yang telah dimiliki.

As an empirical study, linguistic investigations rely heavily on the selection of suitable subject speakers as representatives of a language community, which in turn underline the necessity of determining representativeness. Through explicit description of the parameters that define a target population, this paper argues that (i) representativeness can be most straightforwardly captured using the same parametric description; and (ii) the degree of representativeness of the subject increases with the degree of satisfaction of the parameters. On this footing, this paper exemplifies the fundamental quality of the parameters of representativeness across different linguistic research topics, purposes and even methodologies. Evidently, the clarification on what counts as representative through the use of parametric description is a founding stone to ensuring reliability of language data in the establishment of any linguistic theorizing.
