A physically-based and distributed tool for modeling the hydrological and mechanical processes of shallow landslides
2015
This work presents the capabilities of a model, i.e. the tRIBS-VEGGIE-Landslide, in two different versions, i.e. developed within a probabilistic framework and coupled with a root cohesion module. The probabilistic model treats geotechnical and soil retention curve parameters as random variables across the basin and estimates theoretical probability distributions of slope stability and the associated “factor of safety” commonly used to describe the occurrence of shallow landslides. The derived distributions are used to obtain the spatiotemporal dynamics of probability of failure, conditioned on soil moisture dynamics at each watershed location. The framework has been tested in the Luquillo …
Multisensorā pieeja bieži sastopamo vārdu atpazīšanas prasmju attīstībai angļu valodā no 5 līdz 6 gadu veciem bērniem
2017
Lasīšana ir viena no būtiskākajām prasmēm, ko skolēni apgūst sākumskolā. Daudziem skolēniem bieži sastopamie vārdi angļu valodā sagādā grūtības, jo tie nepakļaujas zināmajām lasīšanas stratēģijām. Turklāt bieži sastopamie vārdi parādās lielos daudzumos lasīšanas tekstos. Diploma darba autore ir novērojusi, ka ir bērni no 5 līdz 6 gadu vecumam, kuriem grūtības sagādā bieži sastopamus vārdus atpazīšana, tādēļ nav augsts lasīšanas ātrums un izpratne par tekstu. Kā pētījumu metodi autore ir izvēlējusies gadījuma pētījumu, lai izpētītu, kā multisensorā pieeja var palīdzēt 5 līdz 6 gadu veciem skolēniem atpazīt bieži sastopamos vārdus. Pētījums tika veikts 2016.gadā no 17.oktobra līdz 9.decembrim…
La desheredación del menor de edad
2021
This work aims to answer the eternal question of the disinheritance of the child under legal age. To this end, we will approach the institute of disinheritance, its foundation and its jurisprudential evolution. We will also address the capacity and responsibility of the child under legal age and the emancipated minor. Subsequently, we will carry out the study of the disinheritance of the child under legal age, subject to the whim of the specific disinherited causes, since each of the causes provided for in art. 853 Spanish Civil Code are endowed with their own idiosyncrasy, being very complicated, if not impossible, to deal with the subject of this work apart from the vicissitudes that can …
Professional mathematics teacher identity: analysis of reflective narratives from discourses and activities
2012
Published verson of an article in the journal: Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10857-012-9216-1 This article focuses on the methodological use of reflective narratives from discourses and activities of an experienced primary teacher as evidence of her professional identity. The teacher’s reflective narratives emerge from her participation in a 3-year developmental and research project, Learning Communities in Mathematics, conducted at the University of Agder (UiA) in Norway. As background for our study, we firstly present the teacher in action with her sixth-grade pupils in a mathematics lesson, and then analyse sele…
European Security Under Threat: Mediating the Crisis and Constructing the Other
2017
Departing from the assumption that discourse is both socially constituted and constitutive, and that social reality is co-constructed by the institutions of mass communication, this chapter takes under scrutiny media representation of the recent refugee crisis in Europe. The objective behind it is to maximise the validity of the Media Proximization Approach (MPA), drawing on the insights from Critical Discourse Studies, cognitive linguistics and corpus linguistics, in explicating how the media can potentially impact on the salience of issues and thus on public perception of problems and threats along with measures to be taken to deal with them. Examining the data from Poland, a European Uni…
TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN. THE INNOVATION IN THE METHOD
2018
The book presents reflections on the centrality of Design in the discipline of Technology of Architecture and on the need to adapt the design method to the innovation of thought implemented by the research world. The theme of the Innovation in the Method of Technological Design is an interesting challenge that in this volume has been addressed considering the complexity of the levels of thematic depth, opening up to critical reflections, proposals for tools and illustration of case studies that show the breadth, relevance and multidimensionality of this issue. The era of digital and information technology have significantly influenced the way of doing and thinking in architecture and this e…
Land-use changes in an agro-pastoral area (Djougou, Benin) from Landsat archive images (1984 and 2012): a regressive approach combining remote sensin…
2018
Extended abstract:The vegetation of the district of Djougou is affected by large changes due to tree logging, crop field clearing and grazing by increasing numbers of livestock. The dynamics of the landscape is analyzed with a time series of Landsat satellite images (1984-2012). A regressive approach, exploiting the field observations and semi-structured interviews conducted in 2012-2013 in the Bakou-Wewe territory, documents the evolution of land use and facilitates the analysis of Landsat images. An original procedure targets the building of Region of interest (ROIs) for the historic images for which no available field observations exists. The study area is located in central Benin (Plate…
Validation of a Shear Model for RC and Hybrid Beams with Two Different Inclinations of Transversal Reinforcement
2016
The validation of an analytical model recently proposed for evaluation of the shear capacity in Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams containing multiple inclination of transverse stirrups is presented. The model is a suitable extension of that currently proposed in Eurocode 2 for the evaluation of the shear resistance, and it is derived by means of the the variable-inclination stressfield theory based on Nielsen’s plastic approach. Experimental and numerical data available in the literature on Hybrid Steel-Trussed Concrete Beams (HSTCBs) are used for model validation and result discussion. Finally, also the comparison with a different analytical approach for the assessment of the shear resistance…
Dyplomacja publiczna w kontekście rozwiązywania konfliktów: rozważania teoretyczne w odniesieniu do zasadności i użyteczności jej stosowania
2019
The aim of the article is to argue for the usefulness of public diplomacy and legitimacy of its application as a complementary tool for traditional diplomacy in the area of conflict resolution. Public diplomacy, due to its specificity, is part of changes in internationał relations and thus promotes approaches and offers tools that seem to be functional in various types and at different stages of internationał conflicts. The article consists of several parts. In the first part, subjective and objective changes in contemporary internationał relations are introduced. Their diagnosis makes it possible to deem public diplomacy legitimate in the context of conflict resolution. The second part des…
Semʹâ i vospitanie detejv religioznom diskurse arhiepiskopa Simferopolʹskogo i Krymskogo Luki
2020
During four decades of his service in the Church, Valentin Felixovich Voino-Yasenetsky (Archbishop Luke of Simferopol and Crimea) delivered numerous sermons, most of which were recorded. Later, they began to appear in the form of publications and became the object of research by representatives of various scientific disciplines. In his sermons, apart from other issues, the preacher paid special attention to the family and education of the younger generation. This article is an attempt to analyze the religious discourse of the Archbishop,using the example of the sermon “On the family and education of children”, delivered by him on 13 October 1947. The author of the sermon adheres to the trad…
