Differences in consumer perspectives how sustainable food consumption is perceived and signalled in the prevailing consumer culture : among Generatio…
2016
This thesis investigates Generation Y sustainable food consumers in the prevailing consumer culture and their differences in signalling and perceiving sustainability. The reasons why they engaged to a sustainable diet and the possible conflicts around it were also studied. Relevant contexts around consumer culture, possessions, identities and Generation Y regarding sustainable food consumption were presented as the theoretical framework. The focus was on Generation Y consumers in order to recognize relevant the contexts that influence their behaviour in the marketplace. Qualitative research methods were utilized as the data was gathered through nine in-depth interviews furthermore applied t…
Federal Theatre Project (1935-1939). Una experiencia de teatro estatal en Estados Unidos
2006
Con este artículo queremos dar a conocer una experiencia de teatro oficial en Estados Unidos, financiado con fondos federales, dentro del programa marco llamado Works Progress Administration (WPA) que bajo la Administración del presidente Franklin D. Roosevelt se puso en marcha en 1935; período que siguió al “crack del 29” y su consecuencia más amarga, La Gran Depresión
Dal liceo all’università: una ricerca-intervento per la costruzione del progetto di vita professionale degli studenti
2019
Si è conclusa nel mese di maggio del 2019 la prima parte di una ricerca-intervento ispirata alla teoria del pensiero narrativo, ai principi dell’educational counseling e della didattica orientativa. Durante l’anno scolastico 2018-2019, 93 studenti (50 femmine e 43 maschi) del quarto anno di cinque licei di Palermo hanno partecipato a un’iniziativa sperimentale in cui scuola e università hanno collaborato con un duplice scopo: ridurre negli studenti il gap rilevato tra le conoscenze in uscita dal liceo e quelle richieste all’inizio dei corsi universitari e potenziare in loro la capacità di formulare il proprio progetto di vita professionale. È stata sperimentata l’azione congiunta di tre tip…

2018
The aim of the article is to compare the preliminary results of the research on the data gathered in the VILLA project with the reflections of the teacher conducting all the sessions (ten courses in Polish for beginners). The article consists of four parts. The first one presents the basic information about the project. The second one describes the content, the methodology and the didactic strategies used during the dasses. The third one contains reflections useful for people analysing the gathereddata. The article concludes with a short comment on the research resuits, that is, on the influence of several factors (such as the teaching methodology, the learners' age and their mother tongue …
Groupware architecture for requirements processes in new product development
1999
An organization's ability to create successful products depends on how extensively it collects, analyzes and utilizes requirements information in its product development. Recent advances in groupware technologies allow such information to be shared more effectively in distributed organizations; thus, these technologies hold considerable potential as means of shortening the cycle time and improving the quality of requirements processes. This paper addresses issues in the design and implementation of groupware-supported requirements processes by drawing on experiences from large-scale industrial development projects within Nokia. The primary contribution of the paper is the conceptual design …
The importance of definitions in the study of polyQ regions: A tale of thresholds, impurities and sequence context

Nuevas formas de llevar una ópera al teatro. Un caso de estudio. La flauta mágica de la compañía 1927 y de Kosky: animación 2d, nuevas tecnologías di…
2017
La ópera, un género que a menudo se asocia al pasado, está más viva que nunca. Gracias a la aportación de directores y experimentadores provenientes del teatro, la ópera se ha convertido en uno de los campos por excelencia para la experimentación contemporánea, sobre todo en relación con el uso de nuevas tecnologías. Una verdadera paradoja. Un ejemplo es la puesta en escena de La flauta mágica de Mozart de la Komische Oper de Berlín, concebida y realizada por la compañía británica 1927 y por el director australiano Barrie Kosky en 2012. Es una representación atípica y extraña que utiliza las nuevas tecnologías del “video project mapping” y, al mismo tiempo, las técnicas de animación 2D —dib…
Approaching electrical tomography
2009
A general approach to electrical tomography is here described, based on the distribution of the experimental data to the set of voxels in which the subsoil has been divided. This approach utilizes the sensitivity coefficients as factors of the convolution procedure to execute the back projection of the data, to obtain the 3D pictures of the subsoil. A subsequent probabilistic filtering technique is described to improve the pictures in view of sharp boundary models. Some models are finally presented, mostly regarding cubic buried anomalies as well as pipe-shaped and L-shaped anomalies.
A NEW TOOL FOR THE STUDY OF RESONANCE IN CHEMICAL EDUCATION
2014
The objective of this study is to present a computer-based project, for which our program POLAR and our version of PAPID were written for the study of the subject of resonance in chemistry. Both algorithms allow a better didactic strategy and methodological adaptation for the study of molecular properties in chemical education. Teachers will find the options of POLAR and PAPID useful for demonstrations. It is still to be explored the methodological application of these computational programs enriching the present teaching techniques. Implementing new algorithms in learning situations is technically simple, but checking their usefulness in teaching practice is extraordinarily complex and req…
LEADERSHIP – A NECESSITY IN PROJECTS
2014
Leadership is one of the most discussed subjects nowadays, because more now than ever, the world needs good leaders to define a path and to determine others to follow. The understanding of leadership will better enable managers to be effective leaders and to more effectively lead their organizations, given the opportunities and challenges they have to face with. Leaders are agents of change in organizations and a tool they can use to determine change of attitudes, behaviors and actions are projects.
