Abstract:

Both the number and proportion of the elderly and people with chronic disability are increasing as a proportion of the entire population, particularly in the over 80 years age range. The most common cause of chronic visual disability in the elderly is age-related maculopathy (ARM). Chronic visual disability, manifested as functional limitations of activities of daily living, often results in psychosocial handicap due to ineffective coping skills. Both low vision services and low vision research have previously been oriented toward functional adjustment to disability, rather than psychosocial a

Abstract:

How does one write the history of a technical machine? Can we say that technical machines have their own genealogies, their own evolutionary dynamic? The technical artefact constitutes a series of objects, a lineage or a line. At a cursory level, we can see this in the fact that technical machines come in generations - they adapt and adopt characteristics over time, one suppressing the other as it becomes obsolete. It is argued that technics has its own evolutionary dynamic, and that this dynamic stems neither from biology nor from human societies. Yet 'it is impossible to deny the role of hum

Abstract:

Failing eyesight causes a dramatic change in life. The aim of this project is to help people with large central visual field loss to better utilize their remaining vision. Central visual field loss means that the person has to rely on peripheral vision since the direct vision is lost, often due to a dysfunctional macula. In these cases, a full restoration of vision would require replacement or repair of the damaged retinal tissue, which is not yet possible. Instead, the present study seeks to improve peripheral vision by enhancing the image quality on the remaining functional part of the retin

Abstract:

This thesis questions the phenomenological force and function of mourning in the fiction of Charlotte Brontë and George Eliot, bringing together models of contemporary visuality with modalities of loss, to emphasise a dialectic of affective pain as intimate vision. While Victorian visual culture has been substantially addressed by recent scholarship, there remains a paucity of investigation into what I read as an optic chiasmus of altered modes of seeing and modes of feeling. With a focus on two of the key novelists of the period, I have selected four novels that are fascinated by the nature o

Abstract:

This work is devoted to self-supervised representation learning (SSL). We consider both contrastive and non-contrastive methods and present a new loss function for SSL based on feature whitening. Our solution is conceptually simple and competitive with other methods. Self-supervised representations are beneficial for most areas of deep learning, and reinforcement learning is of particular interest because SSL can compensate for the sparsity of the training signal. We present two methods from this area. The first tackles the partial observability providing the agent with a history, represented

Abstract:

Differences in orientation and mobility of people with different types of visual impairment have received little attention in the literature. Typically, studies have assessed the mobility performance of either a heterogenous group of subjects with low vision (ie. mixed ocular diseases) or a homogenous group of subjects with a particular eye disease (E§ Retinitis Pigmentosa: RP). There have been few investigations of both mobility performance and vision determinants of mobility in subjects with central visual field (VF) loss.

Abstract:

Decline in both visual acuity and visual performance is a fact of life for older people and their increasing share of the population requires that buildings be designed with their visual needs in mind. As their field of vision decreases, people find it harder to identify an objects location, distance, and orientation. Elderly people with vision impairments usually find it harder to perform daily activities such as navigation through indoor spaces. Functional vision can be improved by modifying the design of spaces, for example, with better lighting. However, architects typically do not know ho

Abstract:

Cataract is a leading cause of vision impairment in the older population. Although cataract surgery can restore sight, it is not uncommon for people in Australia to wait up to three years for first eye surgery; an initial two years for outpatient assessment and a further 12 months on the surgical wait list. The consequences of waiting for surgery encompass physical, mental and social domains, compromising an older person’s quality of life, and limiting active ageing. However data describing these effects in older Australians with cataract are scarce, hindering policy change to support timely

Abstract:

Concern about falling (CF) is a significant health issue among older people, leading to activity restriction, physical decline, and increased falls risk. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss among older people, yet little is known about CF in this population. High levels of CF were demonstrated among those with AMD, predicted by reduced visual function, and other physical and psychological factors. Over a 12-month period, CF increased, more so than in general older populations. These results provide an important basis for developing interventi

Dissertação apresentado ao ISPA-Instituto Universitário para obtenção do grau de Doutor em Psicologia Aplicada: Especialidade Psicologia da Clinica<br>Background: The experience of becoming physically impaired, especially in lower limb adult amputees and in working-aged patients with vision loss, has deserved little attention by research in general. The weight of some variables associated with these experiences on depressive levels has been stressed by some studies. However, little is known about it. Aims: The current dissertation aimed at filing in the knowledge gap regarding these topi

Abstract:

PriceRunner is an online shopping comparison company. To maintain up-todate prices, PriceRunner has to process large amounts of data every day. The processing of the data includes matching unknown products, referred to as offers, to known products. Offer data includes information about the product such as: title, description, price and often one image of the product. PriceRunner has previously implemented a textual-based machine learning (ML) model, but is also looking for new approaches to complement the current product matching system. The objective of this master’s thesis is to investigate

Abstract:

Dans les domaines de la défense, de l’industrie et de la prospection marine, la représentation détaillée d’une scène en trois dimensions (3D) en toutes conditions est cruciale. Un des enjeux est de pouvoir accéder à cette information 3D dans des conditions de forte teneur en matières en suspension du milieu aquatique. Dans ce contexte, les imageurs 3D à plans focaux utilisent une source laser pulsée et chaque pixel est équipé d’une horloge interne synchronisée sur l’émission laser, permettant d’accéder à l’information 3D tout en filtrant temporellement les photons parasites diffusée par les hy

Abstract:

Todos los periodistas entrevistan alguna vez a lo largo de su carrera. Y no tienen que ser necesariamente entrevistas que pasan a la historia porque el trajín del oficio exige eso, preguntar, averiguar y luego escribir y describir. Por eso los estantes de las bibliotecas dedicadas al periodismo están repletos de textos queensalzan la entrevista como el género periodístico por excelencia. Pero no encontramos casi nada sobre elpunto de vista del otro actor de la entrevista, esto es, el entrevistado, y que, en especial en la prensa, suele quejarse de haber sido mal interpretado o recortado; y, si
