Incorporating TikTok in higher education: Pedagogical perspectives from a corporal expression sport sciences course
2021
Abstract Social media have revolutionised the way humans communicate and socialise. Education is also changing; social media are transforming educational environments, and online or blended learning are increasingly used. The COVID-19 pandemic has further accelerated this change. In this paper, we present an educational innovation where TikTok (a social media that is based on creating and sharing 15–60-s video, which has experienced a significant breakthrough during the COVID-19 pandemic) is used as a pedagogical tool. 65 Spanish sport science students participated in this study. A mixed research method was designed to analyse the effect of TikTok use on students. The SPSS 23.0 and NVivo12 …
Differential specificity of substrate-attached lectins stimulating spreading of GH3-cells under serum-free, hormone-supplemented culture conditions
1982
Most mammalian cells are capable of growth in culture only when they are supplied with an appropriate substrate to which they can adhere and spread. To prepare suitable substrates different lectins were attached onto polystyrene tissue-culture dishes after coating with polylysine. GH3-cells (a pituitary-tumor-cell line) were seeded into the culture dishes containing serum-free, hormone-supplemented medium. When succinylated Concanavalin A (s-Con A), which binds specifically to mannose residues, is attached to the surface an extraordinary spreading of GH3-cells is induced within 15 to 20 min after seeding. Other lectins with a different sugar-binding specificity are less effective in inducin…
Mutant p53 gain of function can be at the root of dedifferentiation of human osteosarcoma MG63 cells into 3AB-OS cancer stem cells
2014
Osteosarcoma is a highly metastatic tumor affecting adolescents, for which there is no second-line chemotherapy. As suggested for most tumors, its capability to overgrow is probably driven by cancer stem cells (CSCs), and finding new targets to kill CSCs may be critical for improving patient survival. TP53 is the most frequently mutated tumor suppressor gene in cancers and mutant p53 protein (mutp53) can acquire gain of function (GOF) strongly contributing to malignancy. Studies thus far have not shown p53-GOF in osteosarcoma. Here, we investigated TP53 gene status/role in 3AB-OS cells-a highly aggressive CSC line previously selected from human osteosarcoma MG63 cells-to evaluate its involv…
Mundo obrero, cultura y asociacionismo: algunas reflexiones sobre modelos y pervivencias formales
2003
In this article, the author reflects on the associative models chosen by Spanish working and popular classes since the middle of nineteenth century in order to defend their interests, especially in the case of the difussion of culture and education. It is remarkable the continuity and success of some inherited prototypes, as it happened with the «ateneos» until the years of the Spanish civil war. At the same time, workers' organizations tried to satisfy an extensive range of demands by developing multifunctional centres. Examples of these were the «Casas del Pueblo» (People's Houses) erected by the socialist movement.
Espacio, tiempo y educación
2015
This paper analyzes the role played by the student movement in the restitution of democracy in Spain. Taking as a starting point the situation of university under the Franco dictatorship, and how (and why) students were dealt with, the major features that set the student movement apart from other kinds of activism in that time are described and linked to the unique effects that it had on the status quo, with a special stress on its ability to generate the kind of cultural change required for overcoming the atmosphere of resignation and consent that helped to keep the government in power. The way in which culture, personal issues, and politics got intertwined is shown as a key trait of stude…
‘Then we were ready to be radicals!’ : school student activism in Finnish upper secondary schools in 1960–1967
2021
In the Western countries, Scandinavia and Finland included, the legacy of the student movement of the 1960s has been extensive and established a fixed narrative of a radical movement. This article challenges the elitists and university-centred grand narrative and argues that the student movement was more multifaceted and mobilized young people of various ages and backgrounds. This is done by addressing the international student movement from the perspective of school-aged students in Finnish upper secondary schools, focusing on student activism carried out in school-sanctioned student associations. Above all, this article aims to distinguish the relatively unknown history of the Scandinavia…
Da Düsseldorf a Lussemburgo e ritorno: “Towards Horizontal Effect For the Free Movement of Goods?”
2014
A seguito di rinvio pregiudiziale deciso da CGUE 12 luglio 2012 C-171/11, Fra.bo/DVGW, che ammette, per la prima volta, l’efficacia orizzontale, e cioè nei rapporti privatistici, del principio della libera circolazione delle merci, già affermata dalla giurisprudenza europea per le altre libertà fondamentali di circolazione (CGUE 12 luglio 2012 C-171/11, Fra.bo/DVGW, in European Review of Contract Law, 2013, 186, con commento di Harm SHEPEL; nonché, H. van HARTEN, T.

Disclosure Alignment and Transparency Signaling in CSR Reports
2014
This chapter investigates companies' disclosure alignment and transparency signaling within the 2011 CSR annual reports of 36 U.S. firms in the Global Forbes 2000. DICTION 6.0 was used for the text analysis. The study found that CSR reports are fairly similar to corporate financial annual reports but can be classified more accurately as a hybrid discourse with normative elements matching genres emanating from science, business, government, religion, and social movements. Despite the relatively short time that CSR reports have been in existence, this chapter provides evidence that CSR reporting has become institutionalized quickly. The measures of transparency signaling and disclosure alignm…
