International Perspectives on the Pedagogically Innovative Uses of Technology
2005
The children of today grow up having information and communication technologies (ICTs) as essential and natural parts of their daily life. As they grow, they are expected to become active and self-directed members in their own local communities and also in the information society at large. Technology creates versatile possibilities for the acquisition and creation of information, for self-expression, and for communication and interaction with other people locally, nationally, and worldwide. Active participation in the information society presumes novel knowledge, skills, and work approaches from children and teachers alike.

The use of employee participation in the USA and Spanish companies
2008
Abstract This article presents a description of employee participation in Spain. The number of published papers in English about Spain regarding this subject is very low, and even lower by Spanish authors. In short, we can say that there is hardly any knowledge regarding employee participation in Spain in both the European and American settings. This paper summarized the results of a research project we carried out whose objective was to compare employee participation using samples from large American and Spanish companies following the works of Edward E. Lawler and his team. Our aim is to have professionals and researchers throughout the world better understand the actual situation in our …
Teorie globali per azioni locali: i processi autonomi di riappropriazione dello spazio
2014
Le pratiche autonome di (ri)appropriazione e riconversione temporanea a fini “pubblici” di aree in disuso hanno fatto emergere nelle principali città europee (e non solo) e in maniera significativa in alcune tra le più importanti città italiane, esperienze di partecipazione interessanti dal punto di vista della sperimentazione di pratiche capaci di proporre politiche pubbliche dal basso e di costruire strategie alternative di “produzione dello spazio” (Lefebvre, 1991). Per poter costruire queste “utopie concrete” è come se i poveri, gli sfruttati, “coloro che non ci stanno”, ricorrendo a forme di disobbedienza radicale, definissero uno “stato d’eccezione proclamato dal basso” (Virno, 2012),…
Antecedents and consequences of virtual customer co-creation behaviours
2019
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare the antecedents and consequences of two distinct types of virtual co-creation behaviours that require different degree of effort from the customer, i.e. customer participation (CPB), and customer citizenship (CCB) behaviour, in a cross-cultural study. Design/methodology/approach A survey was conducted among members of online panels in the UK and Spain, reaching a sample of 800 online individuals who participate in online co-creation processes with fashion retailers. This design allows us to test the cross-cultural effects. Multi-group structural equations modelling was used to analyse the data. Findings Virtual co-creation behaviours are driv…

DELL’UTRI E CONTRADA “GEMELLI DIVERSI”: È LA REVISIONE EUROPEA LO STRUMENTO DI OTTEMPERANZA ALLE SENTENZE CEDU
2017
La Cassazione nega l’origine giurisprudenziale del concorso esterno in associazione mafiosa e individua il rimedio della revisione europea per l’attuazione della decisione CEDU nei confronti di soggetti in posizioni simili a quella di Contrada. Il percorso offre l’occasione per riflettere sulla connotazione “oggettiva” della prevedibilità e sull’uguaglianza di trattamento dei condannati. Italian supreme Court denies that the origin of external participation in mafia-type criminal association lies in case law and envisages the European review as the tool to comply with ECtHR judgements in similar cases to that of Contrada. This jurisprudence provides a proper opportunity for an in-depth exam…
Labor market participation, employability and and basic skills: the French case
2013
En ligne sur http://cemapre.iseg.utl.pt/educonf/2e3/files/submissions_to_web/Branche-Seigeot%20Aline.doc; The development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the important technological but also organizational innovations during the last decades have transformed the labor market and the jobs nature. One major consequence of this on employment has been the gradual rise in qualifications' structure sought and demanded by employers. However, the expansion of higher education contributed to depreciate diplomas proportionately more widespread in the labor market due to a greater skills' heterogeneity of their owners. Since high basic skills levels protect against unemployment…
Stylistic analysis of headlines in science journalism: A case study ofNew Scientist
2016
This article explores science journalism in the context of the media competition for readers’ attention. It offers a qualitative stylistic perspective on how popular journalism colonizes science communication. It examines a sample of 400 headlines collected over the period of 15 months from the ranking of five ‘most-read’ articles on the website of the international magazine New Scientist. Dominant lexical properties of the sample are first identified through frequency and keyness survey and then analysed qualitatively from the perspective of the stylistic projection of newsworthiness. The analysis illustrates various degrees of stylistic ‘hybridity’ in online popularization of scientific r…
