Jet fragmentation transverse momentum distributions in pp and p-Pb collisions at √s, √sNN = 5.02 TeV

2021

Jet fragmentation transverse momentum (jT) distributions are measured in proton-proton (pp) and proton-lead (p-Pb) collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV with the ALICE experiment at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed with the ALICE tracking detectors and electromagnetic calorimeter using the anti-kT algorithm with resolution parameter R = 0.4 in the pseudorapidity range |η| < 0.25. The jT values are calculated for charged particles inside a fixed cone with a radius R = 0.4 around the reconstructed jet axis. The measured jT distributions are compared with a variety of parton-shower models. Herwig and Pythia 8 based models describe the data well for the higher jT region, while they underestimate the low…

"Obsługa Wiedzy" w jednostkach szkolnictwa wyższego w Polsce w latach 2005-2015

2018

Transformacji społecznej, prawnej i ekonomicznej w Polsce towarzyszą zmiany w przesłankach tworzenia i funkcjonowania jednostek szkolnictwa wyższego, wymuszając przejmowanie przez instytucje naukowe i kulturotwórcze cech ąuasi-przedsiębiorstw o charakterze korporacyjnym, opartych na regułach gry rynkowej. Analiza złożoności wewnętrznej struktury poszczególnych elementów systemu szkolnictwa wyższego wymaga jednocześnie uwzględnienia ich „uwikłania” w otoczeniu dalszym i bliższym, opartego na sytuacji polityczno-prawnej, demograficznej i finansowej. Celem artykułu jest próba analizy działania publicznych i niepublicznych jednostek szkolnictwa wyższego w Polsce z punktu widzenia wybranych elem…

Disciplinary Versus Institutional Approaches, Higher Education

2020

Institutional perspectives focus on HEIs as organisations and disciplinary perspectives focus on HEIs as cultural entities. This entry discusses the strengths and weaknesses of cultural and institutional approaches to higher education and higher education research. peerReviewed

Higher order matrix differential equations with singular coefficient matrices

2014

In this article, the class of higher order linear matrix differential equations with constant coefficient matrices and stochastic process terms is studied. The coefficient of the highest order is considered to be singular; thus, rendering the response determination of such systems in a straightforward manner a difficult task. In this regard, the notion of the generalized inverse of a singular matrix is used for determining response statistics. Further, an application relevant to engineering dynamics problems is included.

Sharing and promoting disciplinary competences for university teaching in English: voices from the University of Jyväskylä language centre’s TACE pro…

2015

The internationalisation of universities often means that the language of learning and teaching needs to be changed – at present most commonly to English. Apart from English-speaking countries, then, most European universities offer their degree programmes in a language that is not the first language of either the students or the teachers. This challenging situation is also the reality in Finland and at the University of Jyväskylä. Many Finnish universities have set up supporting infrastructures to deal with the new challenges, particularly in their international master’s programmes. In this article we describe the TACE programme, which has been run by the Language Centre on an annual basis…

Behind the scenes of artificial intelligence: a study of micro-work platforms in France

2019

Este artículo es una versión resumida del informe “Le Micro-travail en France. Derrière l’automatisation de nouvelles précarités au travail?» This article is a summarized version of the report "Le Micro-travail en France. Derrière l’automatisation de nouvelles précarités au travail?" .; International audience; Micro-work internet services allocate small, standardized tasks of data generation and annotation to crowds of providers. The outputs are mainly used to produce artificial intelligence solutions. It is an exemplary instance of the “platformization” of the economy, and of the transformations of labour that digital technologies bring about. To uncover the conditions under which micro-wo…

SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UNIVERSITY STRATEGIES AND FINANCIAL INDICATORS

2010

A very important role in establishment and foundation the activities of a university is strategies and policies developed by management authorities. Through this article we identify the relationship between the components of university strategy and financial indicators, taking into account that financial projections are those that can affirm or overturn the objectives. In this respect, the article is structured in such a way that could provide answer to questions like: What kind of university strategy must be adopted to insure academic success? What is the premises development strategy, as requirements for success in university management? What financial indicators can influence the compone…

As Capable as Other Students: Tanzanian Women with Disabilities in Higher Education

2015

Globally, persons with disabilities are underrepresented in higher education. In sub-Saharan Africa, where opportunities for higher education are especially limited, women are unlikely to continue their education. This research investigates women in Tanzanian higher education with the double marginalisation of being a woman and having disabilities. The women were interviewed on what factors enabled access and participation for their educational success. A thematic analysis of qualitative data was applied. All of the women interviewed were motivated to complete their degrees. Key enabling factors were encouragement from their families and previous teachers, full participation in student life…

Valutazione tra pari all’università: due approcci didattici a confronto

2020

Nell’ambito della didattica universitaria occorre rinnovare e diversificare gli strumenti di valutazione includendo sempre più anche tecnologie progettate per la valutazione. Il presente contributo mira a contribuire alla riflessione sulle pratiche didattiche che risultano più efficaci per l’integrazione delle nuove tecnologie per la valutazione formativa e la valutazione tra pari in università. In particolare si vuole verificare se l’utilizzo di tali forme valutative tramite la piattaforma Peergrade sia più efficace in un approccio didattico basato sull’interazione face-to-face o su interazioni a distanza tra una lezione e la successiva. La ricerca, condotta su un campione di 203 studenti …
