'The Franco Dictatorship: A Proposal for Analysis in Terms of Political Cultures'.
2019
This chapter proposes the study of the Franco dictatorship through the prism of the analytical tool of political culture. The main argument is that the aforementioned approach enables us to pose new questions and direct our analytical focus from different angles. Mainly, it allows us to go beyond a confirmation of the internal heterogeneity of the regime to examine the extent to which this was not exclusively an instance of a hybrid structure, but of a political force made up of diverse components—fascists and reactionary nationalists—whose various movements and specific actions all eventually gave shape to the regime. Consequently, the attention is directed to both, the fascistized nature …
Aksjologiczne aspekty wychowania
2017
<p>Artykuł ukazuje problematykę dotyczącą aksjologicznego aspektu wychowania, jest poszukiwaniem odpowiedzi na pytanie: Jak wychowywać młodego człowieka, by potrafił poruszać się w przestrzeni aksjologicznej, umiał odkrywać, tworzyć, akceptować wartości w poszukiwaniu swojego miejsca w świecie? Uważam, że aby wychować młodego człowieka, tak by żył zgodnie z wartościami uniwersalnymi, należy zadbać o to, by potrafił uczyć się obiektywnego poznawania i respektowania wartości, rozbudzał w sobie zainteresowanie życiem wartościowym. W artykule podkreślono, że aksjologiczny wymiar aktywności człowieka ulega przekierunkowaniu na wartości niższe (hedonistyczne, utylitarne, witalne, prestiżowe…

Interspecific attraction between ground-nesting songbirds and ants: the role of nest-site selection
2021
Abstract Background Interspecific interactions within ecological networks can influence animal fitness and behaviour, including nest-site selection of birds and ants. Previous studies revealed that nesting birds and ants may benefit from cohabitation, with interspecific attraction through their nest-site choice, but mutual interactions have not yet been tested. We explored a previously undescribed ecological link between ground-nesting birds and ants raising their own broods (larvae and pupae) within the birds’ nests in a temperate primeval forest of lowland Europe. We tested whether the occurrence of ant broods within bird nests resulted from a mutual or one-sided interspecific attraction …
Análisis del comportamiento de alumnos expertos resolutores de problemas en el contexto del concurso matemático Pruebas Canguro
2021
Presentamos resultados de una investigación que analiza las estrategias de estudiantes considerados expertos resolutores de problemas en el contexto del concurso Proves Cangur, con problemas de elección múltiple y tiempo limitado para resolverlos. Nuestro objetivo es entender mejor las estrategias de resolución utilizadas, el uso de las opciones de respuesta y cómo afecta el límite de tiempo a sus estrategias de resolución y a su confianza en las respuestas. Los estudiantes han resuelto dos bloques de problemas, uno en las condiciones del concurso y otro sin estos condicionantes. Establecemos una categorización para el grado de certeza que muestran los estudiantes en sus respuestas. No se o…
Between striated and smooth space: Exploring the topology of transnational student mobility
2017
In this paper, we raise a question regarding how transnational students develop their spaces as mobile, temporary, and at times stable and territorially fixed. We argue that approaching transnational student migration and its relations to place as a Deleuzian assemblage is a fruitful way of highlighting this issue, and we propose the axes of the expressive/material and territorialisation/de-territorialisation as analytical tools for understanding aspects of the temporal and spatial dimensions of transnational student mobility. Our theoretical discussion is informed by the migration experiences of transnational students studying at a Norwegian university. Our core argument is that transnatio…
Schelling-Voter Model: An Application to Language Competition
2013
In this work we analyze the language competition problem by using an interacting agent-based model which interpolates the classical Schelling and Voter models. Briefly, an agent may change its place of residence or his language when he is surrounded by more individuals of the other kind than the ones he can tolerate. We analyze this dynamic process in terms of the free space to move in, the pressure to change the language, and the propensity to change location. We identify the different regimes and the relationship with the language competition problem. Fil: Caridi, Délida Inés. Universidad de Buenos Aires. Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales.

Shared Mobility in the Process of City-Transport Coevolution: Emerging Geographies and Policy Challenges
2020
In the broader context of the relationship between transport and urban development, this chapter discusses the impact that shared mobility services may have on the spatial and functional organisation of cities. In the first section, we review the relationship between transport and urban development in an historical perspective, with a view to the implications that the diverse mobility systems can have on space and the environment. We then examine the cultural and technological drivers for the spreading of shared mobility in contemporary cities, as well as the response these services can provide to different mobility needs in urban areas. In the concluding section, we discuss in what circums…
Intelligent learning environment for better student’s academic performance
2021
In this paper, the authors aim to develop an intelligent learning environment model designed to improve students’ academic performance. Methodology: Referring to the litarature, the authors identified and analyzed a number of relevant issues that influence the specific components of an intelligent learning environment. These aspects were quantified using performance indicators defined on the basis of the specific objectives of each aspect chosen. Results: Following the analysis, the authors developed a model of intelligent learning space, and for its representation, we used conceptual modeling. Conclusions: Finally, the authors propose the prevalidation of the model using the dynamic modeli…
