TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explore public participation for activating underground built heritage (UBH) and explore practices of stakeholders' engagement in different UBH assets, based on experiences gathered in the scope of the European COST Action ‘Underground4value’.
Abstract: This paper aims to explore public participation for activating underground built heritage (UBH). It describes and analyses practices of stakeholders’ engagement in different UBH assets, based on experiences gathered in the scope of the European COST Action ‘Underground4value’. It brings together five inspiring cases from Italy, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, in which digital and mobile technologies were used as tools to improve community experiences in UBH. Thus, the paper discusses ‘smartness’ from the perspective of people and communities around cultural assets, where ‘smartness’ becomes a new connotation and a pathway to advance (local) knowledge and know-how. Therefore, this paper takes on the challenge to define a smart city as an ecosystem for people’s empowerment and participation, and, in particular, to explore social tools for creating new values in heritage placemaking—where sharing knowledge becomes a fundamental principle.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to semantically model the connotation of social relationships with interactive language between individuals and connect the features and topics of the interactive language with the connotations of the social relationship.
Abstract: The profile of online social relationship is fundamental in online collaboration studies. A comprehensive profile should describe the nature of a relationship on two levels: properties and connotation. Current studies mainly characterize the connotation of a social relationship with positive/negative signs or fixed categories which are not sufficient to reveal the specific connotation of a certain relationship. Interactive language is believed to be closely related to the nature of social relationships according to sociolinguistics. In this work, we propose to semantically model the connotation of social relationships with interactive language between individuals. We connect the features and topics of the interactive language with the connotation of the social relationship. The experimental results on English emails and Chinese microblogs reveal that the new method can profile the social relationships with more meaningful details.

TL;DR: In this paper , a pragmatic analysis of the different meanings assigned to the term "local realism" in the context of the empirical violations of Bell-type inequalities since its inception in the late 1970s is presented.
Abstract: We present a pragmatic analysis of the different meanings assigned to the term “local realism” in the context of the empirical violations of Bell-type inequalities since its inception in the late 1970s. We point out that most of them are inappropriate and arise from a deeply ingrained prejudice that originated in the celebrated 1935 paper by Einstein-Podolski-Rosen. We highlight the correct connotation that arises once we discard unnecessary metaphysics.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors argue that by emphasizing the dressmaking aspect in designing fashion, prejudices can be overcome and the complexity of the fashion system that also involves certain social prejudices, such as gendered practice and being shallow.
Abstract: Fashion design as a combined term conveys a different connotation than separate words of fashion and design. This is due to the complexity of the fashion system that also involves certain social prejudices, such as gendered practice and being shallow. This has set a gap for considering fashion design as a serious topic to study in comparison to other design subfields such as architecture and industrial design. However, this article argues that by emphasizing the dressmaking aspect in designing fashion, prejudices can be overcome. Finland, especially its capital Helsinki, is an established place for design and an emerging place for fashion. The recent development of the place where the encounter of design and fashion took place provides a unique condition for exploring the contemporary dressmaking practice of Helsinki-based fashion designers. A number of aspects identified from the context are shared to demonstrate how fashion design can be revisited besides the image-making aspect.
