(Dis)connected Lives
In an era of forced migration and fragmented geographies of care, digital games have become important platforms for representing the emotional and structural conditions of transnational life. This article examines Bury Me, My Love, an interactive fiction game that simulates the mediated communication between Nour, a Syrian refugee, and her husband Majd. Through a smartphone interface that reproduces real‐time messaging, the game makes visible the…
Visibility Without Agency
Digital games, which have billions of players worldwide, are among the most popular cultural activities of the twenty-first century, impacting how people perceive the past and create their identities. They frequently integrate historical elements as cultural environments, but they frequently contribute to the consolidation of westernized worldviews. Focusing on Assassin’s Creed III, Origins, and Liberation, this article looks into how racial mino…
Evolution of documents related to performance in boccia
Background The purpose of this study was to develop a bibliometric review of literature related to Boccia, aiming to analyse relevant information related to the adapted sport, and determine the existing relationships/networks between the different authors and countries, as well as methodological procedures of publications. Methods The Web of Science database was used, considering the keywords “Boccia” OR “Bocha” AND “Sport”, applying the filter “…
Digital Games as Safe Places
Digital games have become a popular cultural pastime and a profitable media industry, with an average player age of 32. During the lockdown years, the many facets of digital games came to light, particularly their capacity to encourage the development of safe spaces for interaction and communities. Games that encourage creativity and content creation, like Second Life, Animal Crossing, and Minecraft, for example, give users a variety of safe spac…
Representation of Borders as Historic Liminal Spaces in Digital Games
Digital games are one of the most engaging forms of media. Players can have a first-hand experience and the possibility of feeling immersed within a digital setting where agency is exerted. This paper seeks to understand the role of digital games as new means of communication and their potential to convey messages that may defy gamers to question the moral grand narratives that shape contemporary societies. In a moment when many countries have op…
The Association between Childhood Obesity and Cardiovascular Changes in 10 Years Using Special Data Science Analysis
The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity is a worldwide problem, with several well-known consequences that might start to develop early in life during childhood. The present research based on data from children that have been followed since birth in a previously established cohort study (Generation XXI, Porto, Portugal), taking advantage of State-of-the-Art (SoA) data science techniques and methods, including Neural Architecture Search…
Can an Incremental Step Test Be Used for Maximal Lactate Steady State Determination in Swimming? Clues for Practice
We aimed to compare the velocity, physiological responses, and stroke mechanics between the lactate parameters determined in an incremental step test (IST) and maximal lactate steady state (MLSS). Fourteen well-trained male swimmers (16.8 ± 2.8 years) were timed for 400 m and 200 m (T 200 ). Afterwards, a 7 × 200-m front-crawl IST was performed. Swimming velocity, heart rate (HR), blood lactate concentration (BLC), stroke mechanics, and rate of p…
