Eye Movement Analyses for Obtaining Readability Formula for Latvian Texts for Primary School
2017
To determine the difficulty of text, readability formulas can be used. The research was made to find readability formula for Latvian. Readability formulas for English were used as guidelines. The novelty was the use of eye movement tracking during reading to obtain quantitative data that lead to readability formula. Eye fixation durations were gathered during readability measurements. Average values of fixation durations were calculated to characterize texts and readers. 15 texts with various difficulty levels were composed for exposing them to readers. More than 300 children of grades 1 - 4 were participating in measurements. Average values of eye fixation durations of readers from a certa…
Strategic Processing of Chinese Young English Language Learners in an International Standardized English Language Test
2018
Strategic competence is acknowledged to be able to explain variations in language test performance. Research with adult language test-takers has shown that strategic competence has dual components: strategic knowledge and strategic processing. Of the two components, strategic processing, which is state-like, unstable, and tends to fluctuate from contexts to contexts, is more closely related to language test performance. To date, none of the existing studies investigates strategic processing with children English language learners (ELLs) and explores the relationship between strategic processing in all the four skills of language learning and the test performance. Addressing these gaps, the …
Pašapkalpošanās prasmju sekmēšana 1.6 - 2 gadīgiem bērniem pirmsskolas izglītības iestādē
2019
Bakalaura darbs izstrādāts par tematu „Pašapkalpošanās prasmju sekmēšana pusotra – divus gadus veciem bērniem pirmsskolas izglītības iestādē”. Pētījuma mērķis ir teorētiski un praktiski izzināt pusotra - divgadīgu bērnu pašapkalpošanās prasmju attīstīšanas iespējas, izmantojot dažādus pedagoģiskus paņēmienus. Darba teorētiskajā daļā analizēts pusotra – divus gadus vecu bērnu vecumposms problēmas kontekstā, pētīts pašapkalpošanās procesa attīstības īpatnības un pieaugušā loma šajā procesā, kā arī aplūkoti vingrinājumi un rotaļas, kas izmantojami pašapkalpošanās prasmju veidošanai. Par darba teorētisko bāzi kalpoja tādu zinātnieku atziņas kā B. Bowman, M. Donovan, M. Burns (2001), I. Prudņiko…
Las voces del interior rural valenciano: recursos naturales y resistencias al desarrollo
2020
[EN] This paper shows the results of two territorial diagnoses for employment and local development carried out in two rural regions of the province of Valencia. These diagnostics showed that these territories have abundant natural resources, but that lack of competent actors to dynamize them properly; either because they lack the means to do so (access to sources of financing, transport or basic infrastructure), or because they are not trained for it (aging population with lack of training), or because they do not have enough initiative (installed in a comfort zone).
Retrieving Monitoring and Accounting Information from Constrained Devices in Internet-of-Things Applications
2013
Part 6: Monitoring Mechanisms; International audience; Internet-of-Things (IoT) is envisioned to provide connectivity to a vast number of sensing or actuating devices with limited computational and communication capabilities. For the organizations that manage these constrained devices, the monitoring of each device’s operational status and performance level as well as the accounting of their resource usage are of great importance. However, monitoring and accounting support is lacking in today’s IoT platforms. Hence, this paper studies the applicability of the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), a lightweight transfer protocol under development by IETF, for efficiently retrieving monito…
Orientation-invariance of individual differences in three face processing tasks
2019
Numerous studies have reported impairments in perception and recognition, and, particularly, in part-integration of faces following picture-plane inversion. Whether these findings support the notion that inversion changes face processing qualitatively remains a topic of debate. To examine whether associations and dissociations of the human face processing ability depend on stimulus orientation, we measured face recognition with the Cambridge Face Memory Test (CFMT), along with experimental tests of face perception and selective attention to faces and non-face objects in a sample of 314 participants. Results showed strong inversion effects for all face-related tasks, and modest ones for non-…
Deliberation favours social efficiency by making people disregard their relative shares: evidence from USA and India
2017
Groups make decisions on both the production and the distribution of resources. These decisions typically involve a tension between increasing the total level of group resources (i.e. social efficiency) and distributing these resources among group members (i.e. individuals' relative shares). This is the case because the redistribution process may destroy part of the resources, thus resulting in socially inefficient allocations. Here we apply a dual-process approach to understand the cognitive underpinnings of this fundamental tension. We conducted a set of experiments to examine the extent to which different allocation decisions respond to intuition or deliberation. In a newly developed app…
Case Management for Depression by Health Care Assistants in Small Primary Care Practices
2009
BACKGROUND: Case management by health care assistants in small primary care practices provides unclear benefit for improving depression symptoms. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether case management provided by health care assistants in small primary care practices is more effective than usual care in improving depression symptoms and process of care for patients with major depression. DESIGN: Cluster randomized, controlled trial. A central automated system generated the randomization scheme, which was stratified by urban and rural practices; allocation sequence was concealed until groups were assigned. SETTING: 74 small primary care practices in Germany from April 2005 to September 2007. PATIEN…
BREVI OSSERVAZIONI SULL’ONERE DI SPECIFICA CONTESTAZIONE E IL DIVIETO DI NOVA IN APPELLO NEL RITO DEL LAVORO: LA CORRELAZIONE TRA ONERE DI CONTESTAZI…
2015
Oggetto dell'indagine è la non contestazione nel processo del lavoro e nel processo in generale, nell'ambito delle possibili difese della parte. La sentenza della Suprema Corte 28 febbraio 2014, n. 4854, che si colloca nel solco di un diffuso orientamento giurisprudenziale in materia di c.d. rito del lavoro, offre lo spunto per una riflessione di ordine generale sui limiti della specifica contestazione e delle conseguenze della sua omissione, nel generale sistema di preclusioni del processo civile. Essa offre, inoltre, l’occasione per una ricollocazione in chiave sistematica della non contestazione nell’ambito delle c.d. eccezioni, e nella sistematica del diritto processuale.
Snowpack concentrations and estimated fluxes of volatile organic compounds in a boreal forest
2012
Abstract. Soil provides an important source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to atmosphere, but in boreal forests these fluxes and their seasonal variations have not been characterized in detail. Especially wintertime fluxes are almost completely unstudied. In this study, we measured the VOC concentrations inside the snowpack in a boreal Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forest in southern Finland, using adsorbent tubes and air samplers installed permanently in the snow profile. Based on the VOC concentrations at three heights inside the snowpack, we estimated the fluxes of these gases. We measured 20 VOCs from the snowpack, monoterpenes being the most abundant group with concentrations …
