Interpreting behaviors from accelerometry: a method combining simplicity and objectivity
Quantifying the behavior of motile, free-ranging animals is difficult. The accelerometry technique offers a method for recording behaviors but interpretation of the data is not straightforward. To date, analysis of such data has either involved subjective, study-specific assignments of behavior to acceleration data or the use of complex analyses based on machine learning. Here, we present a met...
متن کاملCombining Power and Simplicity in a Groupware Toolkit
Many tools exist for the development of real-time distributed groupware, but most of these tools do not provide an appropriate balance of power and simplicity for necessary for prototyping or research. To better support the middle ground in groupware development, we built a new toolkit called GT/SD. It provides solutions to problems of real-world network performance without sacrificing the simp...
متن کاملObjectivity and subjectivity in the ethnographic method.
The author discusses the application of the concepts of objectivity and subjectivity in ethnographic theory and research, and finds that one kind of subjectivity, that of applying a particular perspective to ethnography, is central and inevitable. Today, we acknowledge that objectivity is relative to a given perspective or preunderstanding, but the applied perspective must compete with other pe...
متن کاملCombining GPS, GIS, and accelerometry: methodological issues in the assessment of location and intensity of travel behaviors.
BACKGROUND Global positioning systems (GPS), geographic information systems (GIS), and accelerometers are powerful tools to explain activity within a built environment, yet little integration of these tools has taken place. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of combining GPS, GIS, and accelerometry to understand transport-related physical activity (TPA) in adults. METHODS Forty adults...
