Searching for a common core of family law in Europe

2018

In this Article the Author, a member of the group of European investigators involved in the searching process for a Common Core of Family Law in Europe, does not want to present the results of the project, that will be published in a forthcoming volume, but, instead, seeks to distinguish the FLCCP (Family Law Common Core Project) from similar research experiences, such as the CEFL (Commission of European Family Law) one. In order to highlight these differences, in the first part (paragraphs 1,2,3) the paper describes the goals of the Common Core Project and the methodology it employs, making references to the Cornell’s Studies, the Schlesinger’s factual approach and the Sacco’s formants the…

Taxonomical methods in safety analyses

2016

In the article chosen mathematical methods used to the safety analysis of district were shown. Analysis of threats of the district consists of the sum of fragmentary analyses of individual communes in the district. Examples of analyses of threats based on taxonomical methods were presented. Among many important problems of modelling, the most essential are the relationships between variables. The selection of variables (features) depends on the particular case. We have provided comments of the modeling of complex problems classification issues. Algorithm is shown and the results of the analyzes. Pointed to the usefulness of this type of analysis in the modeling threat process. Presented res…

Cuando la historia está presente: Argumentos a favor de la sociología histórica

2019

Sociology and history have maintained a discontinuous relationship and a permanent discussion. Classical sociology is intrinsically historical, but after the first theoretical synthesis the dialogue between both disciplines was extinguished and it has often been necessary to defend the need for the historical view in sociology from the margins of the dominant paradigm. However, as a specialty or subdiscipline, historical sociology has consolidated its own academic space and a strong theoretical, methodological and conceptual body. In Spain this process of institutionalization has not yet success. In this article we expose a few arguments in defense of historical sociology, both theoretical …

Les théoriciens spontanés : comment les évaluateurs construisent et révisent leurs connaissances des programmes par l'expérience

2021

International audience; What exactly do evaluators learn about programs through experience and how? We chose a constructivist framework to investigate the structure of evaluators’ program-related knowledge, namely the form, content, and origins of their expressed theories. In this context, we complemented a Piagetian theory of learning with new developments offered by “probabilistic” (or “Bayesian”) models of learning. We conducted “explicitation” interviews with nine experienced practitioners, some specializing in the education or agri-environment sectors and some generalists. After examining the form and content of their program-related knowledge, we examine its development through experi…

Postbuckling analysis of cracked stiffned plates by pb–2 Rayleigh-Ritz method

2015

A Rayleigh-Ritz approach for the analysis of buckling and post-buckling behavior of cracked composite stiffened plates is presented. The structure is thought as the assembly of plate elements modeled by the first order shear deformation theory. Continuity along the edges common to contiguous elements are enforced by using penalty techniques, which also allow to straightforwardly implement efficient crack modeling strategies. General symmetric and unsymmetric stacking sequences are considered and numerical procedures have been developed and used to validate the present solution by comparison with FEA results. Original results are also presented for post-buckling solution of multilayered stif…

On-line quizzes to evaluate comprehension and integration skills

2016

[EN] This work demonstrates the use of a 2.0 tool, namely, Socrative, to evaluate one of the cross-curricular competences indicated by the Universitat Politècnica de València, specifically, comprehension and integration. It has been applied to the courses in different areas: sciences, engineering and languages. As part of its implementation, activities were proposed that could be done at the beginning, during or at the end of the class to, on the one hand, help students acquire the knowledge associated with the course(s), and on the other, gather evidence that demonstrates acquisition of said competence. The results show a high level of satisfaction by the students with the use of the Socra…

Surrogate assisted interactive multiobjective optimization in energy system design of buildings

2022

In this paper, we develop a novel evolutionary interactive method called interactive K-RVEA, which is suitable for computationally expensive problems. We use surrogate models to replace the original expensive objective functions to reduce the computation time. Typically, in interactive methods, a decision maker provides some preferences iteratively and the optimization algorithm narrows the search according to those preferences. However, working with surrogate model swill introduce some inaccuracy to the preferences, and therefore, it would be desirable that the decision maker can work with the solutions that are evaluated with the original objective functions. Therefore, we propose a novel…

An Early Stage Researcher's Primer on Systems Medicine Terminology

2021

Background: Systems Medicine is a novel approach to medicine, that is, an interdisciplinary field that considers the human body as a system, composed of multiple parts and of complex relationships at multiple levels, and further integrated into an environment. Exploring Systems Medicine implies understanding and combining concepts coming from diametral different fields, including medicine, biology, statistics, modeling and simulation, and data science. Such heterogeneity leads to semantic issues, which may slow down implementation and fruitful interaction between these highly diverse fields. Methods: In this review, we collect and explain more than100 terms related to Systems Medicine. Thes…

The Participation of Families in the Analysis and Transformation of their Reality through a Family Debate about Values and Living Together

2015

Este estudio aborda la socialización en valores y convivencia a partir de una investigación acción que parte de un enfoque participativo y dialéctico y que utiliza el Debate familiar, una herramienta innovadora cuyas finalidades son favorecer la reflexión y el diálogo intrafamiliar e implicar a las familias en el análisis y transformación de su realidad. Esta estrategia estimula el debate e invita a pensar sobre los valores presentes en la familia, recoge información de los diferentes miembros de la unidad familiar y a su vez, sensibiliza sobre los temas tratados. Un total de 492 familias, con al menos un hijo o hija entre 7 y 16 años, participaron en este estudio. Los resultados ponen de r…
