Crossing frontiers in biomaterials and regenerative medicine
2008
From 28 May–1 June 2008, the 8th World Biomaterials Congress (WBC) was held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The meeting attracted 3052 participants from 82 countries, which has made this congress the largest meeting ever held in the field of biomaterials and regenerative medicine. More than 650 oral and 1500 poster contributions [1] were presented in 108 scientific sessions, divided into nine parallel sessions, including 48 dedicated symposia that had been proposed by international leaders in the field. The symposia each contained an invited keynote, providing expert opinions on current developments in biomaterials research. Historically, research in the field of biomaterials has focused on …
Becoming Politically Active: Life Courses and the Formation of Capitals among Young People of Migrant Origin in Finland
2020
This article focuses on the life courses of young people of migrant origin who are active in civic and political fields in Finland. The aim is to analyse, from the micro-level life course perspective, the issues in their lives that have helped them to become active. The article draws on empirical data collected using participatory methods. Four young people of migrant origin participated in the research process and contributed to the data analysis. The theoretical framework consists of Bourdieusian concepts of political habitus and emotional, cultural and social capital. The article shows that participants gained strong emotional capital during their childhood, which laid the groundwork for…
THE LEARNING OUTCOMES APPROACH IN FORMAL SECOND CHANCE EDUCATION : CASE OF LATVIA
2015
This paper focusses on the use of a learning outcomes approach based on the empirical quantitative data gathered from 82 teachers of the second chance education institutions in Latvia. For this purpose, built on the academic literature and policy documents’ review the author attempts to define the learning outcomes approach. The analysis of the empirical data presents elements of the use of the approach in the setting of a second chance education in Latvia and provides initial findings to support more coherent learning outcome based formal second chance education.

Algunes reflexions sobre la psicoteràpia centrada en la persona
2006
Aquest escrit pretén fer una breu presentació de l'Enfocament Centrat en la Persona com una proposta, bastant desconeguda a casa nostra, que arreu del món es fa servir en el camp ampli de les relacions d'ajuda, i destacar-ne les diferents aplicacions rellevants en psicoteràpia i en alguns àmbits de les ciències humanes. A més, informem que des de la Unitat d'Investigació Centrada en la Persona de la Universitat de València es treballa en el desenvolupament d'aquesta perspectiva.
Aprendizaje lingüístico e inclusión social : combinación del enfoque comunicativo y el enfoque por tareas.
2017
Resumen: La presente propuesta de experiencia práctica aspira a compartir los buenos resultados conseguidos en un curso de español como lengua extranjera dirigido a inmigrantes realizado en “L’Espai d’Inclusió i Formació Casc Antic” (Eicascantic Barcelona), en el que se combinó el enfoque comunicativo con el enfoque por tareas con los objetivos de mejorar el nivel lingüístico de los alumnos y de favorecer su inclusión social en su nuevo contexto. Para ello, se creó el material sociolingüístico del nivel A2 del MCERL Conociendo y se aplicó en un curso intensivo de 54 horas de duración llevando a cabo, a posteriori, un análisis de los resultados obtenidos. Todo ello se realizó teniendo en men…
Una revisión a la planificación de los recursos: sobre los enfoques de evaluación y los modelos de adaptación al uso turístico
2018
Mucho se ha hablado de la planificación del turismo. Solo cabe echar una mirada a la literatura académica para encontrar decenas de propuestas metodológicas que, desde inicios de los años 50 del siglo pasado, vienen exponiéndose. A pesar de esta vorágine creativa, todas ellas acaban, finalmente, enmarcándose en uno de los cinco enfoques identificados por Hall (2008). Sin embargo, al realizar ese mismo ejercicio para el caso de los recursos, considerados la base sobre la que asentar cualquier proceso de desarrollo turístico, los resultados sobre cómo planificarlos difieren considerablemente. Esta investigación, de carácter teórico, realiza una revisión bibliográfica de los trabajos académico…
Los directivos vinculados psicológicamente en el trabajo no son adictos al mismo: datos de un análisis longitudinal centrado en la persona
2013
The aims of this two-year follow-up study among Finnish managers (n = 463) were twofold: first, to investigate the relation between work engagement and workaholism by utilizing both variable- and person-centered approaches and second, to explore whether and how experiences of work engagement and workaholism relate to job change during the study period. The variable-centered analysis based on Structural Equation Modelling revealed that the latent factors of work engagement and workaholism did not correlate with each other, thereby suggesting that they are independent constructs. The person-centered inspection with Growth Mixture Modelling indicated four work engagement-workaholism classes: 1…
Bringing Design Science Research to Service Design
2018
Service design is a multidisciplinary field dedicated to create new and innovative services. To accomplish this goal, service design resorts to contributions from other disciplines such as service management, marketing, information systems and interaction design. However, service design lacks dedicated methods and models that integrate the contributions from these disciplines. Design science research (DSR) offers a solid methodology to develop such artifacts and is already starting to be used in service research. To show how DSR can support service design, this article presents two new service design methods that have been developed using DSR and examines the process followed for developing…
Innovation in Traditional Food Products
2016
International audience; Innovation is widely accepted as one of the keys to being successful. However, companies can innovate and still fail if markets fail to accept the innovation. In most cases, the acceptance of an innovation depends on the innovation itself and also on the product to which it is applied. In this chapter acceptance of different innovations in traditional food products is investigated, thus focusing on the definition of the "traditional" and "innovation" concepts from the consumer's perspective. Qualitative and quantitative approaches are combined to better understand and predict the possibilities of success when applying different generic and specific innovations in tra…
