Typologie des cooperatives de credit espagnoles par la methode des groupes strategiques. Une etude empirique
1997
The objective is to apply the Strategic Groups approach to the sub-sector of credit cooperatives, organizations on which Strategic Groups analysis has not been applied yet although they are part of the banking sector. Therefore taking into account the theoretical arguments presented on SG, the authors apply them according to the following stages: identification of the group of banking organizations composing the object of the study (in this case, credit cooperatives) while analysing their main characteristics; choice of the subset of banking organizations forming the analysed sample; determination of key strategic variables to define credit cooperatives’ strategies; and application of the r…
Local development through social and territorial innovation: an exploratory case study
2017
This investigation aims to examine innovation in a selected successful Portuguese social venture (The Cooperative Terra Chã) and to analyse the extent to which innovative social ventures are able to contributeto local development. Specifically, the paper highlights the activities developed by the social organization in response to the needs of particular (micro) segments of society and illustrates which key factors triggered thesuccess of the examined social initiative. A case study methodology is used to describe the distinctive characteristics and strategies pursued by the managers of the social venture and to establish the links between the opportunities for social innovation and the ter…
L’analisi della conversazione istituzionale: applicazioni e prospettive
2015
La Conversation Analysis si occupa del parlato quotidiano, di interazioni comunicative qualsiasi, tra amici o sconosciuti, tra commesso e cliente, insegnante e allievi, terapeuta e paziente. Gli esempi delle applicazioni potrebbero essere infiniti, dato che la conversazione e le sue varianti "istituzionali", come l’intervista o il dibattito, costituiscono la forma di comunicazione più immediata e diffusa. Nell'articolo l’autrice introduce alla Analisi della Conversazione, ne illustra gli aspetti di base, ne mostra le applicazioni alle interazioni comunicative istituzionali e propone una sinergia interdisciplinare a partire da un nucleo sociologico con indicazioni operative e prospettive per…
La metodología de la Flipped Classroom (FC) en la práctica didáctica de los docentes universitarios. Hacia una definición del modelo didáctico a part…
2022
El trabajo de investigación que se presenta aborda el tema de la implementación del Flipped Classroom, o clase invertida, en el contexto universitario. Flipped Classroom es un método formativo activo, que consiste en invertir los tiempos y espacios de aprendizaje. Al implementarlo, el profesor prepara y proporciona al alumnado los contenidos a estudiar con antelación, de manera que, en el tiempo de clase, hay más posibilidades para hacer ejercicios y practicar los conceptos aprendidos durante el autoestudio. Además, en este proceso juega un papel fundamental el feedback que el docente da a sus alumnos sobre su nivel de comprensión, así como los resultados del aprendizaje y los comentarios q…
Underestimated Radio in the Latvian Market
2020
The purpose of this research is to reveal why, after introducing a new research methodology of radio ratings, the audience for a lot of stations has even doubled and the number of total radio listeners in Latvia has significantly increased. To conduct the research, regular listeners’ research empirical data were compared and analyzed, as well as a number of major industry experts were questioned. The research results indicate the reasons why “Day-After-Recall” radio research method provides much better results for radio as media than previous “Diary” method. These findings may and probably will fundamentally affect advertisers’ media strategy decisions in the Latvian market. With much more …
Empirical research in the school context
2016
Service-Learning is an educational methodology which combines learning processes and community service. The aim of this chapter is to spread the conceptualisation of an educational method only recently applied in Spain and to present an SL initiative in which the stages for its application are set forth. A theoretical review of literature is given in order to substantiate the foundations of SL methodology and there is later a case study to carry out a contextualised proposal for a real situation. The results lead to the conclusion that the SL proposed creates learning processes favouring pupils’ personal and ethical development. This is an innovative procedure that represents a change in th…
La transición española : ¿qué sabe el alumnado de 1º de bachillerato?
2020
El presente artículo es el resultado del análisis de una encuesta realizada a 79 estudiantes de 1º de Bachillerato sobre la transición española. Mediante esta investigación se quiere acreditar, con metodología cuantitativa, los conocimientos e ideas que el alumnado encuestado tiene acerca de ese periodo histórico tras la realización de la Educación Secundaria. Para ello se ha realizado una encuesta con variedad de preguntas entre las cuales se han incluido algunas relacionadas entre sí para comprobar posibles contradicciones en las respuestas. La encuesta abarca diferentes cuestiones: desde personajes históricos hasta actores más globales como diferentes organizaciones o movilizaciones soci…
As-built graphic documentation of the Monumento a la Tolerancia. Validation of low-cost survey techniques
2020
[EN] The Monumento a la Tolerancia is an emblematic sculpture realized by Eduardo Chillida, a perfect example for the documentation of sculptures with uniform textures, non-reflective colours and with poorly elaborated shapes through the implementation of various photogrammetric tools, as well as using different applications for processing phase. The basic data are photos taken quickly and without an accurate previous study, which is why the implementation of any target was not foreseen. In order to prove the results different kind of analysis were conducted. The first type was carried out analysing the results obtained from different software, with the use of the same instrument. The secon…
BIM and Low-Cost Survey Techniques for Building Heritage Conservation
2017
The aim of this contribution is to illustrate a methodology for the protection and management of the building heritage, adding to the historical documentary investigations, a careful phase of survey and a conscious geometric and informational modelling of the pre-existence. The focus of this work was the Tower of Vietri sul Mare: a significant example of the architectural defense strategies adopted in Salerno in the 16th century. In fact, through the creation of digital models, it would be facilitated the management of the volumetric evolution that this tower has undergone over time, ensuring a greater accessibility and an easier understanding of the transformations it has suffered.
INTERNAL PRESSURE AND COUNTERPUNCH ACTION DESIGN IN Y-SHAPED TUBE HYDROFORMING PROCESSES: A MULTI OBJECTIVE OPTIMISATION APPROACH
2009
In sheet metal forming most of the problems are multi-objective problems, generally characterised by conflicting objectives. A classical approach to investigate such kind of problems is focused on a combination of multiple objectives into a unique objective function to be optimised. Actually, in metal forming processes optimisation two main phases have to be developed in order to reach an optimal solution: the former is the modelling phase (definition of the design variables and objective function) and the latter concerns the computational aspect (numerical simulations or experiment to be developed). In this paper, an integration between numerical simulations, response surface methodology a…
