‘Ain't nothin' like the real thing’. Motivation and study processes on a work-based project course in information systems design
2007
Background. Advocates of the project method claim that project-based learning inspires student learning. However, it has been claimed that project-based learning environments demand quite a bit of self-regulation on the part of the learner. Aims. Consequently, it was tested whether students scoring low in self-regulation of learning experienced ‘friction’, an incompatibility between student self-regulation and the demands posed by the learning environment. This would be manifest in cognitive processing and motivation. Samples. The target group consisted of 58 mainly third-year Finnish university students taking a mandatory project course in information systems design. During the project cou…
Anxiety symptoms among informal caregivers in 47 low- and middle-income countries: A cross-sectional analysis of community-based surveys.
2022

The integration of informal business law in the OHADA framework. Methodological reflections
2021
OHADA represents today a successful example of legal integration that offers a modern and reliable legal environment regarding business law in those countries that have joined it. However, such a modern integrated system of business law appears to be unsuited to the informal business sector that still represents a vital segment of the economy in most of the African countries. The paper discusses the attempts that have been made to integrate the informal business sector in the OHADA framework, trying to understand the reasons why they have been substantially unsuccessful and suggests a possible way forward to make such integration possible.
Formal and Informal Features in CMMC. Some observation on Dctor-Patient Interaction in Online Communication
2012
Defence strategies in an online community of caregivers
2021
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand caregivers’ discursive constructions and responses to their unwanted (family and social) role as resulting in exchanges on social media. Online group platforms are understood as particularly suitable for the expression of intimate feelings among adults, for meeting and exhibiting stigma issues, and for the circulation of information and support (Suler, 2004; McCormack, 2010; Pounds et al., 2018). Design/methodology/approach This paper draws from digital Conversation Analysis (Giles et al., 2015), and considers data after combining quantitative (corpus analysis) and qualitative methods, from a critical discourse analysis perspective. The St…
Software Architectures for Human-Machine Interaction Using Natural Language
Il linguaggio naturale rappresenta un sistema di comunicazione a carattere inferenziale in opposizione ai sistemi di comunicazione a codice che non prevedono una forma di ragionamento intelligente da parte del ricevente, ma si basano sul riconoscimento di patterns dell'informazione. In un sistema di comunicazione di tipo inferenziale, infatti, si parte dal presupposto che il ricevente abbia una certa "intelligenza" e sia, quindi, capace di comprendere, elaborare ed inferire il contenuto informativo di una comunicazione attraverso ragionamenti su un background di conoscenze (come modelli di mondo e di linguaggio) condivisi sia dalla sorgente che dal destinatario. L'attività di ricerca, svolt…
Impact of Plurilingualism on Learning Quality in Evening (Shift) Schools
2015
<p><em>This paper presents the main findings of the second stage of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) Lifelong Learning study (2011-2014) on identification of good practices that facilitate adult learning (aged 18-24) engagement in second chance education in evening (shift) schools. It analyses students’ perceptions of plurilingual learning processes and the impact of people’s plurilingualism on their learning. The methodology of early school leavers’ learning in working life research was used applying combined phenomenological semi-structured and narrative interviews. 116 people (72 early school leavers and 44 second chance education teachers) representing all geographical regions…
Health in informal caregivers of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder: intervention effects = Salud en cuidadores informales de personas con Trastorn…
2015
Introducción En las últimas décadas se ha producido un incremento alarmante de la prevalencia del Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) (Elsabbagh et al., 2012), caracterizado por dificultades en la socialización, la comunicación y un patrón de intereses y conductas restringidos y repetitivos (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). La especificidad de la sintomatología característica del TEA y los problemas de conducta que conllevan se asocian generalmente a diversos grados de discapacidad. Ello hace imprescindible que las personas con TEA dispongan de cuidadores y/o cuidadoras que puedan atender sus demandas y necesidades (Ruiz-Robledillo y Moya-Albiol, 2012). Debido a la manifestación te…
