Data practices and inequality in South African early childhood development policy: Technocratic management versus social transformation
2019
Background: In 1994, the African National Congress identified early childhood development as a potential strategy to redress the inequalities of apartheid, however, two and a half decades later, poverty still persists, and South Africa is one of the most unequal countries in the world. Aim: This article explores how policy texts based on and with the use of certain data practices establish ‘truths’ about childhoods and society, construct families and communities, and determine forms of provision to address inequality. Setting: In 2015, the South African government published the National Integrated Early Childhood Policy (NIECDP) to continue to address poverty and inequality. Its implementat…
Submarine Slope Failures Along the Northern Sicilian Continental Margin (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea) and Possible Implications for Geo-Hazard
2013
Mass wasting and downslope movements are common processes that have contributed to shape the northern Sicilian continental margin (southern Tyrrhenian Sea) since the Late Quaternary. Nevertheless, processes controlling their evolution are still partially unknown and a variety of geologic factors can be responsible for their formation. In this work we present an overview of the main mass wasting features (submarine canyons, landslides, debris flows) observed and mapped in different sectors of the northern Sicilian margin. The margin is characterized by a narrow, steep continental shelf (1-2°) and a very irregular and steep (6-8°) upper slope. The main aims of this work are: (1) to outline th…

Spazio e lingua nella 'costruzione' greca dell'identità etnica. Alcune osservazioni a partire da Erodoto
2018
The paper aims to offer an account of some representative opinions of ancient Greeks about the role of the space, conceived in its geographical/environmental value, in which a certain population lives, as well as of the language spoken by a population, in order to build historically the concept of Greek nation (to Hellenikón). The different positions expressed on these matters by Herodotus, Thucydides, Strabon and Pausanias are discussed, and the examination mostly concernes the ethnic and historical-linguistic aspects of the representation of the Dorians and Ionians.
On the spatial configuration of scatterers for given delay-angle distributions
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Engineering Letters. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.engineeringletters.com/issues_v22/issue_1/EL_22_1_05.pdf. Open access This paper investigates the distribution of scatterers located around the mobile station (MS) for given delay-angle distributions. The delay-angle distribution function represents the joint probability density function (PDF) of the time-ofarrival (TOA) and angle-of-arrival (AOA). Given such a joint PDF, we first derive a general expression for the distribution of the scatterers in both polar and Cartesian coordinates. We then analyze an important special case in which the TOA and the AOA follow the multipl…
Theoretical approaches and frameworks to language maintenance and shift research : a critical review
2019
This article presents a critical overview of theoretical approaches and frameworks to language maintenance and shift research in the area of immigrant languages. It covers the underlying principles of these frameworks and assesses their advantages and shortcomings. The article argues that the field’s theoretical orientations have shifted recently, with a greater emphasis on understanding language maintenance and shift as a dynamic process involving complex interrelationships between space and time. These new trends and new areas of research in relation to language maintenance and shift are highlighted and discussed in different parts of the article. The article concludes by calling on the s…
Spēļošanas elementi runāšanas aktivitātēs angļu valodas runātprasmes veicināšanai 3.klasē
2021
Angļu valoda kā svešvaloda ir sarežģīta valoda latviešu skolēnu apguvei. Darba autores pieredzē skolēniem trūkst pārliecības par sevi, lai runātu angliski. Šādu problēmu var skaidrot ar personības iezīmēm, vārdu krājuma trūkumu vai bailēm. Diplomdarba pētījuma mērķis ir izzināt, kā spēļošanas elementi runāšanas aktivitātēs var iedrošināt 3.klases skolēnus iesaistīties runāšanas aktivitātēs kādā no Rīgas pamatskolām. Pētījuma metode ir gadījuma pētījums, kas ietver analīzi par skolēnu iesaistīšanos runāšanas aktivitātēs, novērojumus no stundām ar spēļošanas elementu aktivitātēm un intervijas ar divām 3.klases angļu valodas kā svešvalodas skolotājām kā datu ieguves metodes. Tika atklāts, ka s…
Diagnozowanie sprawności mówienia w perspektywie (nie tylko) egzaminu maturalnego
2015
The article discusses the difficulties of diagnosing speaking skills in the situation of matriculation examination, resulting from the specific nature of spoken language varieties and texts implementation in these variants. Factors that should be taken into account when formulating criteria for assessing speech and conversation exams are: complex and holistic structure of spoken speech, transience of audible text, the spontaneity of live speech, the power of nonverbal codes, a significant stigma of a dialog, and the influence of situational context on the course of communicative interaction. The analysis of speaking skills assessment tools prepared for the oral examination in the year 2015…
Stāstu izmantošana runāšanas prasmju attīstīšanā
2015
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Stāstu izmantošana runāšanas prasmju attīstīšanā” Darbs veltīts mācīšanas metodēm un aktivitātēm, kas ar stāstījumu palīdzību veicina runāšanas prasmju attīstību. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai skolēni ar stāstījumu palīdzību var attīstīt savas runāšanas prasmes. Bakalaura darbs sastāv no divām daļām. Pirmā daļa veltīta teorijas diskusijai, kas sastāv no trim nodaļām. Pirmā nodaļa veltīta diskusijai par valodas attīstību, tās apguvi, kā arī metodēm un veidiem, kā iespējams mācīt valodu skolēniem. Otrā nodaļa attiecas uz runāšanas prasmēm, to mācīšanas un novērtēšanas teoriju izpēti. Savukārt trešā nodaļa veltīta stāstu un stāstījumu izmantošanai angļu valodas kā…
