    INKSCAPE – FREE VECTOR GRAPHICS EDITOR Grabareva A. Supervisor: Voevodina M. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Kharkiv, О.М. Beketov National University of Urban Economy in Kharkiv Inkscape is a cross-platform, powerful enough and in many ways competitive free vector graphics editor with open source code, and in which the SVG format is used as the main standard for work. It is convenient for creating both artistic and technical illustrations. Inkscape is an analogue of such graphic editors as Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, Xara X and Freehand. Intended use: - illustrations for office circulars, presentations, creation of logos, business cards, posters; - technical illustrations (diagrams, graphics, etc.); - vector graphics for high-quality printing (with preliminary import of SVG into Scribus); - web graphics – from banners to site layouts, icons for applications and website buttons, - graphics for games. Main characteristics of Inkscape: - the program is free and distributed under the GNU General Public License; - cross-platform; - the program supports the following document formats: import – almost all popular and frequently used formats: SVG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, EPS, PDF, PNG, ICO, and many additional ones, such as SVGZ, EMF, PostScript, AI, Dia, Sketch, TIFF, XPM, WMF, WPG, GGR, ANI, CUR, PCX, PNM, RAS, TGA, WBMP, XBM, XPM; export – the main formats are PNG and SVG and many additional EPS, PostScript, PDF, Dia, AI, Sketch, POV-Ray, LaTeX, OpenDocument Draw, GPL, EMF, POV, DXF; - there is support for layers; -

  • A Training Programme for Early-Stage Researchers That Focuses on Developing Personal Science Outreach Portfolios
    A training programme for early-stage researchers that focuses on developing personal science outreach portfolios Shaeema Zaman Ahmed1, Arthur Hjorth2, Janet Frances Rafner2 , Carrie Ann Weidner1, Gitte Kragh2, Jesper Hasseriis Mohr Jensen1, Julien Bobroff3, Kristian Hvidtfelt Nielsen4, Jacob Friis Sherson*1,2 1 Department of Physics and Astronomy, Aarhus University, Denmark 2 Department of Management, Aarhus University, Denmark 3 Laboratoire de Physique des Solides, Université Paris-Saclay, CNRS, France 4 Centre for Science Studies, Aarhus University, Denmark *[email protected] Abstract Development of outreach skills is critical for researchers when communicating their work to non-expert audiences. However, due to the lack of formal training, researchers are typically unaware of the benefits of outreach training and often under-prioritize outreach. We present a training programme conducted with an international network of PhD students in quantum physics, which focused on developing outreach skills and an understanding of the associated professional benefits by creating an outreach portfolio consisting of a range of implementable outreach products. We describe our approach, assess the impact, and provide guidelines for designing similar programmes across scientific disciplines in the future. Keywords: science outreach, science communication, training, professional development Introduction Recent years have seen an increased call for outreach and science communication training by research agencies such as the National Science Foundation

The rich HCI literature on bimanual tools is leveraged to design tools that support the embodied nature of creativity. The various definitions of creativity in HCI and psychology are explored, with new perspectives on embodied creativity introduced from neuroscience. In the first study, user experiences of the creative process are collected, and generate three themes and five sub-themes with implications for design. From these user stories and theory, a research through design approach is taken to generate artifacts to explore these themes.

We adapted the review method from the PRISMA-ScR protocol. Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched until June 2020 with the following keywords: Vector Graphics Editor, Vector Graphics Editor Dentistry, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Illustrator Dentistry, Coreldraw, Coreldraw Dentistry, Inkscape, Inkscape Dentistry. The publications found described the functions of the following VGEs: Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and Inkscape. The possibility of replicating the procedures to perform the VGE functions was Citation: Rodríguez-López, S.; analysed using each study’s data. The search yielded 1032 publications. After the selection, 21 articles Escobedo Martínez, M.F.; Junquera, met the eligibility criteria. They described eight VGE functions: line tracing, landmarks tracing, L.; García-Pola, M.

    Main Page 1 Main Page FLOSSMETRICS/ OpenTTT guides FLOSS (Free/Libre open source software) is one of the most important trends in IT since the advent of the PC and commodity software, but despite the potential impact on European firms, its adoption is still hampered by limited knowledge, especially among SMEs that could potentially benefit the most from it. This guide (developed in the context of the FLOSSMETRICS and OpenTTT projects) present a set of guidelines and suggestions for the adoption of open source software within SMEs, using a ladder model that will guide companies from the initial selection and adoption of FLOSS within the IT infrastructure up to the creation of suitable business models based on open source software. The guide is split into an introduction to FLOSS and a catalog of open source applications, selected to fulfill the requests that were gathered in the interviews and audit in the OpenTTT project. The application areas are infrastructural software (ranging from network and system management to security), ERP and CRM applications, groupware, document management, content management systems (CMS), VoIP, graphics/CAD/GIS systems, desktop applications, engineering and manufacturing, vertical business applications and eLearning. This is the third edition of the guide; the guide is distributed under a CC-attribution-sharealike 3.0 license. The author is Carlo Daffara ([email protected]).
