Trade Unions and Lobbying: Fighting Private Interests While Defending the Public Interest?
2020
Although framing theory has been extensively studied in strategic communication comparatively, little is known about how trade unions, as a specific type of organization, use framing strategies to achieve their organizational goals. Trade unions frequently aim to present themselves as cause groups, campaigning for broader societal benefits and values. A key communicative challenge for them is to argue that the interest of their members equates to the public interest. How do trade unions communicatively construct links between union interests and the public interest? How is this strategy reconciled with the more conflict-oriented framing found in much traditional union discourse? This study …

A LOGISTICS PATTERN FOR FRUIT AND VEGETABLE TRANSPORTATION FROM ISLAND REGION: THE CASE OF SICILY
2014
The globalization of markets regards many sectors in the E.U. and among them also the fruit and vegetable in the face of growing and increasingly intense competition exerted by the products of countries with emerging economies. But, at the same time, the globalization can also lead to the opening of new potential markets for the products, when and where the transport system, more than other things, appears to be efficient and effective and makes possible to reach the target markets in the shortest time possible and at the lowest possible cost. It is therefore very useful to create a model that takes into account hepeculiarities of the different modes of transport between the different origi…
A new methodology to estimate deformation of longitudinal safety barriers
2013
The correct sizing of storage areas in the port areas is aimed to optimizing the management of intermodal transport and to ensure efficiency and functionality to the entire port system. In this paper is proposed a simulation model for design the port storage areas taking into account many parameters like: the service time, the randomness of the arrivals process, the storage capacity in terms of TEU that can be stored (and handled) in the unit of time. The capacity of the terminal warehouse is determined by the interrelation between fixed and static parameters in the short period which are: i) the extension of the storage area; ii) the height of the overlapping batteries of container (define…
Evolución del perfil cognitivo, metacognitivo, actitudinal y de rendimiento en estudiantes con dificultades de aprendizaje en matemáticas: un estudio…
2013
Introducción. Las dificultades de aprendizaje en matemáticas (DAM) afectan a un elevado número de estudiantes que según diversos estudios de prevalencia afecta a entre un 3.6% y un 13.8% de la población en edad escolar. En numerosas ocasiones, además las DAM se presentan de forma comórbida con las dificultades de aprendizaje en lectura (DAL). Sin embargo, hasta la fecha no se han podido esclarecer de un modo satisfactorio los procesos cognitivos y metacognitivos que subyacen a las DAM, los que son responsables de la aparición común de las DAM y las DAL ni la evolución del perfil cognitivo, metacognitivo, motivacional y de rendimiento de los estudiantes con DAM a lo largo de su escolaridad. …
Mikołaj Rej o Fortunie Łudarce i Zwodnicy oraz o "świeckiej krotochwili"
2018
Tematem artykułu jest problematyka związana z zagadnieniem Fortuny w twórczości Mikołaja Reja. Motyw ten w literaturze i sztuce przybierał rozmaite kształty i konwencje. Fortuna w utworach Reja raz jawiła się jako bogini, kiedy indziej jako demon. Pisarz chętnie też sięgał po konwencję teatru świata, sceny cyrkowej, będącej domeną bogini Circe, turniejów czy pola walki. Jednak źródłem tych wszystkich metafor okazały się złożone relacje łączące plan Opatrzności z porządkiem natury, które dotyczyły uprzywilejowanego miejsca człowieka we wszechświecie. Dychotomiczność ludzkiej natury widoczna w rozróżnieniu na los i fortunę znalazła w twórczości Reja, wspartej na gruncie humanizmu chrześcijańs…
Conrad's "Gaspar Ruiz" and Turgenev's "King Lear of the Steppes"
2018
Joseph Conrad nie krył swojej irytacji po przeczytaniu recenzji Roberta Lynda opublikowanej 10 sierpnia 1908 w „Daily News”, która była próba ukazania osobliwych podobieństw pomiędzy Gasparem Ruizem Conrada i Stepowym Królem Lirem Turgieniewa. Chociaż jest możliwe wskazanie pewnych podobieństw między głównymi bohaterami obu utworów, nie ma podstaw, aby stwierdził, że Conrad, pisząc Gaspara Ruiza, inspirował się Stepowym Królem Lirem Turgieniewa. Tak jak złudne są próby przyporządkowania Conrada do jednej tradycji literackiej, tak samo nie można interpretować tekstów Conrada w jednym kontekście. Można założyć, że chociaż bohaterowie Turgieniewa i Conrada często są świadomi czyhającego na nic…
Perfusion MR Imaging in Differentiating High-Grade from Low-Grade Gliomas
2011
To correlate perfusion MR imaging with histologic grade of cerebral gliomas. Materials & Methods Relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) maps were determined in 22 patients with pathologically proved gliomas (11 glioblastomas, 8 anaplastic gliomas and 2 low-grade gliomas) by dynamic contrast-enhanced T2*-weighted MR imaging. MR examination was completed with conventional T1- and T2-weighted imaging. The rCBV maps were calculated with an independent workstation by fitting a gamma-variate function to the contrast material concentration versus time curve. Relative CBV ratios obtained between tumor and normal white matter were compared between glioblastomas, anaplastic gliomas and low-grade gliom…
The outcomes of national literacy programs on basic reading skills in familiar language among Zambian early graders
2016
In Zambia the Ministry of General Education implemented two national literacy programs in order to improve low levels of reading; the Primary Reading Program (PRP) implemented from 1999 to 2014 and the Primary Literacy Program (PLP) piloted in some schools in 2014 before being scaled up. This research examines the acquisition of basic reading skills among learners in familiar languages at the end of grade 2 in the two national literacy programs. I examined assessment results separately for each program and compared the two with each other. Outcomes were observed on the basis of the Early Grade Reading assessment test battery given to random samples of children (n=393) in 40 schools from 4 d…
Literacy Skills and Online Research and Comprehension : Struggling Readers Face Difficulties
2019
The present study evaluated the extent to which literacy skills (reading fluency, written spelling, and reading comprehension), together with nonverbal reasoning, prior knowledge, and gender, are related to students’ online research and comprehension (ORC) performance. The ORC skills of 426 sixth graders were measured using a Finnish adaptation of the Online Research and Comprehension Assessment. Results of a structural equation model showed that these ORC skills were divided into six highly correlated factors, and that they formed a common factor in ORC. Altogether, these predictor variables explained 57% of the variance in ORC. Reading comprehension, along with gender, was the strongest p…
