Validity of a Questionnaire for the Assessment of Work-related Musculoskeletal Symptoms and Physical Demands
2011
Fundamentos: En las intervenciones de ergonomía participativa es frecuente utilizar cuestionarios autoadministrados para obtener información acerca de los daños y riesgos ergonómicos percibidos por los trabajadores. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la validez de un cuestionario diseñado para su utilización en este tipo de programas. Métodos: Participaron 35 trabajadores voluntarios de diez empresas de Valencia y Alicante. El trabajo de campo se realizó en 2009. Se siguieron tres estrategias: análisis de repetibilidad en dos vueltas del cuestionario, comparación de las respuestas al cuestionario (primera vuelta) con la información obtenida mediante observación directa de los puestos de…
The citadel party : The French Communist Party in the Age of Political Marginalization
2022
Since the late 1970s, the French Communist Party (PCF) has been experiencing a long period of decline, affecting several elements (electoral collapse, decrease in memberships, disintegration of its action system…). Nowadays, it is a minor player in the French party system and becoming politically marginalized. However, despite this weakening over several decades, it is still present in the political landscape and even in some ways, demonstrates a resistant skill. How can we explain that a communist party still exists in a modern society like France ? This work is aimed to answer this question with the following hypothesis : the PCF has undergone a mutation which allows it to survive. This c…
Teacher’s Verbal Communication in the Use of Reciprocal Teaching for Reading Comprehension: An Exploratory Study
2023
Nelle classi di scuola primaria delle tre ultime annualità, molti alunni hanno difficoltà a comprendere quello che leggono male, come si ricava dalla letteratura scientifica e dalle rilevazioni nazionali e internazionali. Il Reciprocal Teaching (RT) è una pratica di apprendimento cooperativo implementata con successo per sostenere e facilitare la comprensione del testo scritto. Alla ricerca hanno partecipato 10 insegnanti di scuola primaria, 73 alunni di classe quinta primaria hanno svolto un’attività di lettura guidata con il RT. Le interazioni verbali in classe sono state osservate; successivamente sono stati analizzati i protocolli raccolti durante le osservazioni nei gruppi per verifica…
Participant Observation: The Personal Commitment in Native Life—A Problematic Methodological Topos
2020
While it is well known that fieldwork started long before Malinowski, it is equally well known that the ethnographic method based on participant observation has been, since the 1920s, taken as a foundation for anthropological research and for the scientific status of the knowledge acquired by its means. This essay has several purposes: highlighting some issues related to Malinowski’s theory and practice of research, which are full of implications not always grasped in their theoretical and methodological complexity; recalling some criticisms that have been put forward in the anthropological debate toward the notion of reflexive observation; discussing some uses and abuses of ethnographic pr…
Creatividad en el diseño de instrumentos de recogida de datos: Las preferencias espaciales experimentadas por escolares
2016
La experimentación del entorno escolar por parte de los escolares, y la reflexión sobre las sensaciones provocadas por los estímulos que alberga; son de interés para determinar la calidad estética de los centros educativos. Son necesarios nuevos instrumentos de recogida de datos que permitan aproximarse a las voces de los escolares de temprana edad. A partir de la Investigación basada en las Artes y mediante técnicas de fomento de la creatividad proponemos un instrumento que combina: la observación participante, como forma de acercamiento; la entrevista y el lenguaje visual para la expresión de respuestas; y el análisis documental por categorías, para la obtención de información…
Grasp-specific motor resonance is influenced by the visibility of the observed actor
2016
AbstractMotor resonance is the modulation of M1 corticospinal excitability induced by observation of others' actions. Recent brain imaging studies have revealed that viewing videos of grasping actions led to a differential activation of the ventral premotor cortex depending on whether the entire person is viewed versus only their disembodied hand. Here we used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to examine motor evoked potentials (MEPs) in the first dorsal interosseous (FDI) and abductor digiti minimi (ADM) during observation of videos or static images in which a whole person or merely the hand was seen reaching and grasping a peanut (precision grip) or an apple (whole hand grasp). Part…
Revista electrónica interuniversitaria de formación del profesorado
2016
Actualmente la inclusión es una de las mayores prioridades tanto del ámbito educativo como de la sociedad en general. El trabajo que exponemos se enmarca en el seno del debate abierto en torno a las distintas opiniones y creencias existentes sobre el tema. Concretamente, mostramos los resultados obtenidos en un estudio de caso, al evaluar las percepciones del profesorado y familias del alumnado de un aula de Comunicación y Lenguaje valenciana, sobre el proceso de inclusión realizado a lo largo de sus cinco años de funcionamiento. A través de un diseño de investigación mixto utilizamos instrumentos de recogida de datos cualitativos tales como la entrevista y la observación participante así c…

NEW IMPORTANT STOP-OVER SITES FOR RUDDY SHELDUCK TADORNA FERRUGINEA PALLAS, 1764 (AVES, ANATIDAE) IN SICILY
2018
The Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea PALLAS, 1764 is a species widely distributed in Southeast Europe and central Asia (MACKINNON et al., 2000). Records in N and W Europe (including Northern Italy) mainly involve escapes from captivity since this species of duck is commonly kept in wildfowl collection, private gardens and parks. Despite this, actually, in Sicily the Ruddy Shelduck is considered an irregular migratory and wintering species and the observations must be attributed to the presence of wild individuals (CORSO, 2005). From 2009 to 2017, 67 observations were collected and compared with those included in the available bibliography (CORSO, 2005). The species was observed in 7 differ…
LaDy: Software for assessing local landscape diversity profiles of raster land cover maps using geographic windows
2003
Landscape ecology starts from the assumption that diversity and spatial arrangement of ecosystem mosaics have ecological implications and tries to understand the interactions between diversity and structure of large spatially heterogeneous areas and their ecological functions. These assumptions imply effective use of earth observation techniques and geographic information systems, enabling a global view of the landscape mosaics. In this paper, a software, LaDy (Landscape Diversity Software), for computing Re´nyi’s local landscape diversity profile on raster land cover maps is presented. LaDy is based on the use of Merchant’s adaptive geographic window, which is designed to operate on a neig…
