El valor de la evaluación en los proyectos socioeducativos
2022
Este trabajo visibiliza el valor de la evaluación como garante en el proceso de diseño y ejecución de una intervención socioeducativa. En él se entiende la evaluación como un proceso planificado y sistematizado orientado a la toma de decisiones y a la mejora de la acción socioeducativa. En ese sentido, por un lado, se reflexiona sobre el ciclo de diseño, elaboración y ejecución de la intervención socioeducativa, entendiendo que hay diferentes niveles de intervención: plan, programa y proyecto. Por otro lado, se presentan los criterios de evaluación como aspectos determinantes que apoyan el tipo de evaluación utilizada (de contexto, entrada, proceso y/o producto). Desde este planteamiento te…
La transferencia de los proyectos de innovación docente: un estudio sobre su capacidad de transformar la enseñanza y el aprendizaje
2022
El artículo reflexiona sobre la capacidad de los proyectos de innovación docente financiados en convocatorias universitarias para transformar las prácticas educativas, la cultura de aprendizaje de los equipos pedagógicos, el desarrollo de titulaciones y el avance de la didáctica de la disciplina (Scholarship of Teaching and Learning - SoTL). Articula, como estudio de caso, una investigación sobre la evaluación de la transferencia de los proyectos de innovación docente en la Universidad de Valencia (UV). Se utiliza un enfoque metodológico mixto basado en un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc, unas entrevistas y un grupo de discusión. Los resultados ofrecen evidencias de innovaciones interdiscipli…
Ca(u)se di bellezza / Beauty’s causes
2018
Efficace, come dicono i vocabolari, è sinonimo di adeguato o adatto e sembrerebbe riferirsi ad aspetti funzionali; ma basta poco per accorgersi che li oltrepassa per riguardare questioni più ampie che sono relative ai processi, includendo le premesse e gli esiti, attraversando i metodi e le procedure. Il termine deriva infatti dal latino efficere - che significa fare (facere) del tutto (ex-) - con il valore di fare o produrre, ma anche di portare a compimento, di operare in modo che una cosa produca il suo effetto o che sia di effetto. Sul significato di efficace (nello specifico dell’architettura), attraverso il fascino delle parole e la profondità di senso che esse possiedono, si possono …
A PROJECT-POSED APPROACH TO REAL BODY DYNAMICS: THE ROLE OF CONSTRAINTS IN ELASTIC WAVE PROPAGATION
2010
In this paper we present some results of a project-posed approach to the teaching of mechanical wave propagation focused on observations and measurements of wave properties in solids and on modelling of these properties by using different simulation tools. In particular, the propagation speed of sound waves in metallic rods is studied by using simple experimental arrangements based on the measurements of contact times between a small body and long metallic rods with which the body can collide. An interesting effect of this approach is the revision of students’ ideas about the rigid body model, studied at high school or college level and usually hardly followed by deepening on the fundamenta…
Near-intrinsic energy resolution for 30-662 keV gamma rays in a high pressure xenon electroluminescent TPC
2013
We present the design, data and results from the NEXT prototype for Double Beta and Dark Matter (NEXT-DBDM) detector, a high-pressure gaseous natural xenon electroluminescent time projection chamber (TPC) that was built at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It is a prototype of the planned NEXT-100 Xe-136 neutrino-less double beta decay (0 nu beta beta) experiment with the main objectives of demonstrating near-intrinsic energy resolution at energies up to 662 keV and of optimizing the NEXT-100 detector design and operating parameters. Energy resolutions of similar to 1% FWHM for 662 keV gamma rays were obtained at 10 and 15 atm and similar to 5% FWHM for 30 keV fluorescence xenon X-…
Effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields on cognitive processes - a pilot study on pulsed field interference with cognitive regeneration.
2004
Background – Due to the ubiquitous use of cellular phones much has been speculated on secondary effects of electromagnetic irradiation emitted by those. Additionally, several studies have reported vegetative alterations as well as effects on the neuronal and molecular levels in humans. Here, using a psycho–physiological test paradigm, we examined effects of exposure to pulsed electromagnetic fields on cognitive performance. Materials and methods – In 11 volunteers, we tested cognitive processing under field exposure (GSM standard) and under field-free conditions. To examine the hypothesized effect of pulsed fields, we applied an auditory discrimination task and determined the participant's …
Prefazione a Emmanuel Iduma, Lo sguardo di uno sconosciuto
2020
By introducing Emmanuel Iduma's travelogue across Africa, which he traveled from East to West as a member of the Trans-African project "Invisible Borders", the Preface also explains the significance and urgency of launching a new African Literature Series for the respected Milan-based independent press Francesco Brioschi Editore. The Series publishes the works of African writers from the younger generations.
Integrating Advanced Visual Information with Ball Projection Technology Constrains Dynamic Interceptive Actions
2014
The role of advanced visual information in ball catching was investigated by integrating video images of action and ball projection technology in four different conditions: Integrated video and ball projection (VBP), Video-Only (VO), Ball Projection-Only (BPO) and Misleading Ball projection (MBP). Hand kinematics and gaze behaviour data were collected from participants who attempted to catch balls one handed in all conditions. During VBP, catching performance was more successful, tracking of the ball occurred earlier and lasted longer, with maximum grip aperture emerging earlier with a slower maximum velocity than in BPO. During VO, movement emerged later than VBP, with larger maximum and m…
Modelling of hybrid moving bed biofilm reactors: a pilot plant experiment.
2007
In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the development of hybrid biofilm reactors, especially in the upgrading of existing WWTP that are no longer able to respect concentration limits. In fact, today's challenge is the achievement of a good aquatic state for the receiving water bodies according to the Water Framework Directive requirements, which indeed limit even more the continuous emissions, i.e. coming from WWTP. This paper presents the setting up of a mathematical model for the simulation of a hybrid MBBR system; the model calibration/validation has been carried out considering a field gathering campaign on an experimental pilot plant. The main goal is to gain insight…
Factors affecting the choice of construction project delivery in developing oil and gas economies
2016
ABSTRACTConstruction academics and practitioners often disagree on which set of factors should take precedence over another and the basis for their inclusion in selecting a project delivery method. This disagreement exacerbates the probability of project failure, which could be detrimental to developing economies. Despite significant cost overruns and these economies being the largest contributors towards global energy sector growth, there is limited knowledge on appropriate factors to be used for selecting project delivery methods in developing oil and gas nations. An evaluation undertaken in Trinidad reveals there are no significant differences in the mean expressed by 133 professionals i…
