Setting Individual Goals for Pupils with Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities : Engaging in the Activity Area-Based Curriculum Making
2021
The activity area-based curriculum model (AACM) is used in the Finnish basic education to support pupils—most of whom have profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD)—who could benefit more from skills that advance independent life coping. Existing studies have concentrated mainly on the Individual Education Plan (IEP) goal-setting process for pupils with milder disabilities than PIMD and have consistently demonstrated significant barriers in the process. This study explores the collaborative IEP goal-setting process for pupils with the AACM. Sixty-five Finnish special education teachers using the AACM participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were analysed with thema…
The Impact of CSR/ESG on the Cost of Capital: A Case Study of US Companies
2021
The paper identifies the direction and strength of the relationship between individual ESG elements (and ESG as a whole) and the weighted average cost of capital, the cost of equity, and debt. The research was based on US market company data from the Thomson Reuters Eikon database. Some modifications have been applied to the survey methodology compared to that previously used in the literature, making it possible to present comprehensive and more congruent results.

Outdoor activities and motor development in 2–7-year-old boys and girls
2021
Problem Statement: Parents of young children favor indoor activities for their children, because staying inside supports comfortable daily routines in the family timetable, safety issues and clothing. However, playing outdoors supports children’s development, offering multiple challenges to overcome and the possibility to learn new skills. Approach: Based on Gibson’s theory of affordances (1977), outdoors can be seen as an excellent learning environment for children to reach the zone of proximal development (Vygotsky, 1987). Purpose: This paper describes Finnish nature and four seasons as an environment to support children’s motor development and inspire outdoor playing. The Skilled kids pa…

Theory and phenomenology of Dirac neutrinos: Symmetry breaking patterns, flavour implications and Dark Matter
2021
El Modelo Estándar (SM en ingles) de interacciones Electro-Débiles (EW en inglés) ha sido un gran éxito desde un punto de vista teórico y experimental. Si bien este éxito no se puede negar, es hora de avanzar y abordar las preguntas que el SM deja sin respuesta, como las masas de neutrinos, la naturaleza de la materia oscura, el problema de la jerarquía o el problema de violación de CP en el sector de las interacciones fuertes, entre otros. De hecho, el SM predice neutrinos sin masa. Sin embargo, los experimentos de oscilación de neutrinos, que ahora alcanzan la era de la precisión, muestran claramente que al menos dos neutrinos son masivos y arrojan luz sobre su patrón de mezcla. Sin embar…

This comparison highlights that freedom and work are the fundamental elements of Italian democracy in the second half of the twentieth century.
The Role of Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering and Molecular Simulations in 3D Structure Elucidation of a DNA Aptamer Against Lung Cancer
2021
Aptamers are short, single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotide molecules that function as synthetic analogs of antibodies and bind to a target molecule with high specificity. Aptamer affinity entirely depends on its tertiary structure and charge distribution. Therefore, length and structure optimization are essential for increasing aptamer specificity and affinity. Here we present a general optimization procedure for finding most populated atomistic structures of DNA aptamers. Based on the existed aptamer LC-18 for lung adenocarcinoma, a new truncated aptamer LC-18t was developed. A three-dimensional shape of LC-18t was reported based on small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments and m…

CMC is more than a measure of corticospinal tract integrity in acute stroke patients
2021
In healthy subjects, motor cortex activity and electromyographic (EMG) signals from contracting contralateral muscle show coherence in the beta (15-30 Hz) range. Corticomuscular coherence (CMC) is considered a sign of functional coupling between muscle and brain. Based on prior studies, CMC is altered in stroke, but functional significance of this finding has remained unclear. Here, we examined CMC in acute stroke patients and correlated the results with clinical outcome measures and corticospinal tract (CST) integrity estimated with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). During isometric contraction of the extensor carpi radialis muscle, EMG and magnetoencephalographic oscillatory signals were re…

Understanding membrane protein folding and interfaciality
2021
Despite the bast abundance of membrane proteins encoded in the human genome, the understanding of their biosynthesis and folding is far from the knowledge we have of soluble proteins. In the present thesis the main objective is to increase our knowledge on membrane protein biogenesis and folding, from the first steps of folding within the ribosome to the native structure acquisition in the membrane. Hydrophobicity, helicity and length of the polypeptide chain have been stablished as the major determinants for alpha-helical conformation adoption within the ribosome exit tunnel. Also, a 'biological' interfacial scale for the 20 naturally occurring amino acids were determined due to the develo…

El tratamiento integrado de lenguas en la gramática: una aproximación a la terminología básica en los libros de texto de secundaria
2021
Este artículo analiza la variación terminológica que afecta las denominaciones (variación denominativa), porque en muchas ocasiones los términos constituyen un obstáculo en la construcción de los conceptos. Concretamente, se ha desarrollado un trabajo terminográfico, de recopilación de los términos utilizados para referirse a las diferentes clases de palabras en los libros de texto de las asignaturas de Castellano y Valenciano de primero y segundo de ESO. Los resultados obtenidos muestran la gran incoherencia terminológica de los libros de texto, con un exceso de términos que dificultan el aprendizaje del alumnado, lo que pone de manifiesto la necesidad de llevar a cabo un tratamiento integ…
Examining the Impact of ICT on Sustainable Development: A Data-Driven Narrative
2021
Considering the challenges of sustainable development and the mixed prescriptions being offered by the use of digital technologies, we present a data-driven narrative of how ICT development impacts the sustainable growth of economies. The analysis is based on historical panel data from 39 economies across the developed and developing economies. The industry-standard CRISP-DM methodology was applied as it is flexible, robust, and offers a practical approach for data analytics. The findings reveal that there are differentiated outcomes in terms of sustainable growth among high-income and low-income economies. This poses legitimate questions as to whether low-income economies will be able to m…

Religioznyj âzyk v internete (na materiale rossijskih i polʹskih issledovanij)
2021
In the modern world, against the development of new information technologies began not only the penetration of the Internet in all spheres of human life, but the blurring of the boundaries between these spheres and the Internet, penetration of the real in the virtual and the creation of new virtual realities. Such world religions as Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam are forced to take this process into account. Despite the fact that the presence of the Internet in the various religious institutions is not always the same, and the Internet has created new structures that do not exist in the real religious life (new religions, sects,etc.), and the attitude to this phenomenon is ambiguous, rel…

Wykorzystywanie seksualne małoletnich przez duchownych w kinematografii: nierozpoznane znaki czasu
2021
Contemporary theology applies the old notion of loci theologici also to media and film. It is not only films that are directly religious (biblical, hagiographies, etc.) that have theological significance, but also those that take up topics related to the Church in a critical way. Therefore, one should be aware of the appearance of successive films, documentaries and feature films, which raise the issue of sexual abuse against the youngest (paedophilia) also in the Church. The article presents the most important films, whose authors present the perpetrators of paedophilia, the mechanisms leading to its concealment and silence not only in the Church, but also in the media and society, as well…

Analysis of the Economic Potential Trough Biochar Use for Soybean Production in Poland
2021
Soybean (Glycine max L.) is one of the most important crops grown globally. Biochar has been proposed as an alternative to aid sustainable soybean production. However, comprehensive studies that include both the economic aspects of soybean production and biochar are scarce. Poland, with an economy largely based on agriculture, is an interesting case to investigate the cost-effectiveness of using biochar in soybean production. We show that the use of biochar at rates of 40, 60 and 80 t/ha is unprofitable compared with a traditional soil amendment, such as NPK fertilization. The breakeven price for biochar to be economically viable should be USD 39.22, USD 38.29 and USD 23.53 for 40, 60 and 8…

Food waste reduction and taking away leftovers: Interplay of food-ordering routine, planning routine, and motives
2021
The hospitality literature is quite deficient in insights on consumer behaviour towards food waste generation and its mitigation in out-of-home dining. The present study addresses this gap by undertaking a mixed-method study to examining a broad spectrum of diners’ behaviour, beginning from planning the meal and ending with bringing the leftovers home. To this end, it utilises the Stimulus-Organism-Response theory to conceptualise the association of planning routine, food-ordering routine, motives, attitude, and behaviour of taking away leftovers and throwing away leftovers. The results of analysis of the data collected from 276 diners in the United States confirm a positive association of …
