Potential Critical Success Factors for Enterprise Architecture

2008

First published in the Journal of Enterprise Architecture, Vol. 2, No. 4, 2006 pp. 29-40. Republished with the kind permission of the Journal of Enterprise Architecture During the past few years, enterprise architectures (EAs) have garnered considerable attention from both practitioners and academics in the fields of information systems and business management. It is suggested that EA is an approach for controlling the complexity and constant changes in the business environment of an organization. Research has mainly focused on the development and modeling of EA, while quality aspects of EA have gained less attention. The aim of this study is to provide insight into the critical success fac…

Student evaluation in the new Finnish National Core Curriculum

2018

Arviointi on aihe, jota on tutkittu paljon ja joka on esillä myös perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteissa. Eri aikakausina vallinneet oppimiskäsitykset ovat muokanneet arvioinnin käsitettä vuosien varrella, ja tällä hetkellä oppimista ohjaavat, kannustavat ja formatiiviset palautemuodot ovat saaneet enemmän jalansijaa perinteisen summatiivisen arviointikäsityksen ohella. Kaiken kaikkiaan käsitystä oppimisen arvioinnista on lähdetty viime vuosina Suomessa muuttamaan, ja se on saanut paljon huomiota erityisesti mediassa. Varsinkin koululaisten vanhemmat sekä asiantuntijat ovat esittäneet mielipiteitään asiasta avoimesti. Koska arviointi osa kaikkien oppiaineiden opetusta, se koskettaa m…

Teachers’ Understanding of Evidence of Students’ Social Emotional Learning and Self-Reported Gains of Monitored Implementation of SEL Toolkit

2020

Aim. The aim of this study was to highlight and analyse teachers’ responses to the evidence of their students’ social emotional growth and teachers’ own gains from the monitored implementation of social emotional learning in their classes.
 Methods. The research group was composed of 312 teachers from Latvia and Slovenia, who were involved in the implementation of indirect social emotional learning through classroom instruction and formative assessment. A thematic analysis of the teachers’ written responses was performed.
 Results. A thematic analysis of the teachers’ responses indicated that initially they had mentioned mostly (expressed) general statements and only some small pa…

Exposure assessment of mycotoxins in food and biological samples through high resolution mass spectrometry-based strategies

2022

Las micotoxinas son metabolitos secundarios tóxicos producidos por varios géneros de hongos y que se encuentran frecuentemente en productos alimenticios. La ingestión de micotoxinas puede provocar la aparición de un amplio abanico de efectos perjudiciales para la salud. Con el objetivo de reducir el impacto sanitario debido a la ingesta de productos contaminados por micotoxinas, la Comisión Europea estableció la Regulación No 1881/2006, donde se fijan límites máximos para ciertas micotoxinas en varias tipologías de productos alimenticios. Como herramienta complementaria, el Panel de Contaminantes en la Cadena Alimentaria (CONTAM Panel) han propuesto valores de ingesta diaria tolerable, que …

Development and Psychometric Validation of the Brief Nurses' Practice Environment Scale and Its Relation to Burnout Syndrome and Job Satisfaction: A …

2020

Introduction: Nursing environment is a vast concept that traditionally has included a wide range of job characteristics and has been related to burnout and job satisfaction. For its measurement, the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PESNWI) stands out. However, shorter instruments are needed. The purpose of the study is to develop and test the Brief Nurses' Practice Environment (BNPE) Scale.Methods: The BNPE Scale was developed and tested in a sample of 210 Spanish nurses (data collection 2018).Results: Cronbach's alpha was 0.702. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), with an excellent fit, offered evidence of internal validity. Regarding validity, the BNPE Scale predi…

A Curvature Based Method for Blind Mesh Visual Quality Assessment Using a General Regression Neural Network

2016

International audience; No-reference quality assessment is a challenging issue due to the non-existence of any information related to the reference and the unknown distortion type. The main goal is to design a computational method to objectively predict the human perceived quality of a distorted mesh and deal with the practical situation when the reference is not available. In this work, we design a no reference method that relies on the general regression neural network (GRNN). Our network is trained using the mean curvature which is an important perceptual feature representing the visual aspect of a 3D mesh. Relatively to the human subjective scores, the trained network successfully asses…

Using assessment for learning mathematics with mobile tablet based solutions

2014

Published version of an article in the journal: International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET). Also available from the publisher: http://dx.doi.org/10.3991/ijet.v9i2.3219 This article discusses assessment for learning in mathematics subjects. Teachers of large classes face the challenge of regularly assessing students’ ongoing mathematical learning achievements. Taking the complexity of assessment and feedback for learning as a background, we have developed a new approach to the assessment for learning mathematics at university level. We devised mobile tablet technology supported assessment processes, and we carried out user studies in both Rwanda and Norway. Results of …

Sulfate sensitivity of aquatic organism in soft freshwaters explored by toxicity tests and species sensitivity distribution

2023

Elevated concentrations of sulfate in waterways are observed due to various anthropogenic activities. Elevated levels of sulfate can have harmful effects on aquatic life in freshwaters: sulfate can cause osmotic stress or specific ion toxicity in aquatic organisms, especially in soft waters where Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations are low. Formerly, chronic toxicity test data in soft water have been scarce. The chronic and acute sulfate toxicity tests conducted with aquatic organisms from 10 families across various trophic levels in this study multiplied the number of tests conducted in soft freshwater conditions and enabled derivation of the species sensitivity distribution (SSD) and sulfate haz…

Evaluation of fitness levels of children with a diagnosis of acute leukemia and lymphoma after completion of chemotherapy and autologous hematopoieti…

2014

The aim of this study was to assess the fitness levels and possible deficits in physical performance in children with a diagnosis of childhood acute leukemia and lymphoma after 10 months of therapy ending through a specific test battery. A total of 58 subjects were enrolled in this study. The experimental group (EG) (7.55 ± 2.43 years; 41.8 ± 16.37 kg; 144.6 ± 10.21 cm) consisted of 18 children with diagnosed leukemia and lymphoma after completion of 10 months of therapy intervention and 40 healthy children who were enrolled in a control group (CG) (7.92 ± 1.78 years; 37.4 ± 12.37 kg; 140.6 ± 12.61 cm). A testing battery including the standing broad jump; the sit-up test; the 4 × 10 m shutt…
