Problems and Issues in Translating International Educational Achievement Tests
2013
The article reviews research and findings on problems and issues faced when translating international academic achievement tests. The purpose is to draw attention to the problems, to help to develop the procedures followed when translating the tests, and to provide suggestions for further research. The problems concentrate on the following: the unique and demanding purpose of the translation task, the partly contradictory task specifications and translation instructions, the indecision as to whether to produce one or two target versions, the indecision as to whether to use one or two source versions, inadequate revision and verification, deficient translator competences, and a lack of time.…

Sustainable design: study of the life cycle assessment of the production and packaging of wine
2003
The object of the study is the identification of the factors that interact with the environment during the production and the packaging of wine. For this aim is use an Economic Input-Output Life -Cycle assessment (EIO-LCA) and I-LCA database to access both the direct and indirect effects of supply chain on the environment and economy. In this phase is examines the impact on the environment by different types of packaging, and transport, the comparisons are made analyses energy, materials consumption and emissions in the environment.
Verifica dell'efficacia didattica di un percorso laboratoriale per l'insegnamento dell'italiano nelle scuole dell'infanzia e primaria
2010
Le attività formative del laboratorio di Didattica della lingua italiana, rivolto a futuri maestri, hanno inteso promuovere buone pratiche di insegnamento linguistico, stimolando la trasformazione delle conoscenze in abilità professionali. Il laboratorio ha inteso offrire agli studenti la possibilità di riflettere e rielaborare, di osservare e sperimentare tecniche operative, di mobilitare risorse per l’analisi, la progettazione e la simulazione di situazioni didattiche e di interventi educativi. La verifica dei risultati, eseguita con strumenti di rilevazione ed autovalutazione delle competenze, e l’esame delle risposte degli studenti sull’efficacia e il gradimento dell’esperienza sottolin…
Inappropriateness in laboratory medicine: an elephant in the room?
2017
Appropriateness of diagnostic testing can be conventionally described as prescription of the right test, using the right method, at the right time, to the right patient, with the right costs and for producing the right outcome. There is ongoing debate about the real burden of inappropriateness in laboratory diagnostics. The media coverage of this issue has also recently led to either over- or under-emphasizing the clinical, organizational and economic consequences. This is quite problematic, inasmuch as some reliable data are available in the current scientific literature, showing that inappropriateness of laboratory testing can be as high as 70%. This is especially evident for, though not …

2022
This data supplements the publication "Land use intensification increasingly drives the spatiotemporal patterns of the global human appropriation of net primary production in the last century" by Thomas Kastner, Sarah Matej, Matthew Forrest, Simone Gingrich, Helmut Haberl, Thomas Hickler, Fridolin Krausmann, Gitta Lasslop, Maria Niedertscheider, Christoph Plutzar, Florian Schwarzmüller, Jörg Steinkamp, Karl-Heinz Erb. For details, please refer to the included readme file and to the publication (https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15932) In this new Version 1.01, we changed the file structure to make the data more accessible, we added data on means across modulations as used in the paper, and we inc…
PROPOSAL FOR A LANDSCAPE EVALUATION SYSTEM
2023
Abstract. This paper describes a system, currently being designed, for both perceptual analysis and aesthetic evaluation of a landscape. The choice of this topic is motivated by the fact that systems related to landscape visibility (e.g. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for visual impact assessment) are not fully satisfactory when it comes to assessing the aesthetic appearance. They mainly analyse geometric aspects, such as the width of visual basins or the interference of visual trajectories, which can be expressed by objective and comparable parameters. Instead, for effective landscape knowledge and protection, it is important to consider other factors that cannot be easily measured…

Promocijas darba „Sintaktiskās kriteriālās pazīmes angļu un franču valodas rakstveida snieguma vērtēšanā” teorētiskajā daļā tiek analizētas dažādas pieejas valodas vienību apguves izpētē, kā arī aktualizēti galvenie principi rakstveida snieguma vērtēšanā un rezultātu pielīdzināšanā Eiropas kopīgajām pamatnostādnēm. Pamatojoties uz mūsdienu deskriptīvajās gramatikās lietoto angļu un franču valodas sintaktisko struktūru kontrastīvās analīzes rezultātiem, promocijas darba empīriskajā daļā tiek veikta angļu un franču valodas apguvēju lietoto sintakstisko struktūru kvantitatīvā un kvalitatīvā analīze. Iegūtie dati tiek izmantoti, lai izstrādātu katram valodas apguves līmenim (A1 – C2) atbilstoša…
Delayed, diffuse acute peritonitis secondary to misplacement of a cystogastrostomic "pigtail" drain in an outpatient after discharge.
2017
Background and aim of the work: Pancreatic pseudocyst endoscopic drainage by pancreatogastrostomy “pigtail” drain placement is spreading worldwide, with high success-rate and low morbidity, and is increasingly performed as outpatient procedure. The paper reports an unusual very early complication of this procedure and discusses the peculiar aspects of this event in an outpatient setting. Methods: The first case of a 56-year-old outpatient developing a postoperative diffused acute peritonitis by gastric juice spilling caused by the misplacement of the distal end of two transgastric drains not reaching the pseudocyst is reported. As the case was programmed as outpatient and acute peritonitis …
Predicting Math Performance from Raw Large-Scale Educational Assessments Data : A Machine Learning Approach
2016
Large-scale educational assessment studies (LSAs) regularly collect massive amounts of very rich cognitive and contextual data of whole student populations. Currently, LSAs are limited to reporting student proficiencies in the form of plausible values (PVs). PVs are random draws from the posterior distribution of a student’s ability, which is based on the Bayesian approach with the prior distribution modeling the student background within the population and the likelihood test item response using the Rasch model. While PVs have shown to be a reliable estimate for proficiencies of populations, a more comprehensive study of these rich data sets by deploying machine learning algorithms may pro…
