Parental Emotion Socialization and Child Psychological Adjustment among Chinese Urban Families: Mediation through Child Emotion Regulation and Modera…
2017
The theoretical model of emotion regulation and many empirical findings have suggested that children’s emotion regulation may mediate the association between parents’ emotion socialization and children’s psychological adjustment. However, limited research has been conducted on moderators of these relations, despite the argument that the associations between parenting practices and children’s psychological adjustment are probabilistic rather than deterministic. This study examined the mediating role of children’s emotion regulation in linking parents’ emotion socialization and children’s psychological adjustment, and whether dyadic collaboration could moderate the proposed mediation model in…
Are there gender differences in e-learning use and assessment? Evidence from an interuniversity online project in Europe
2010
Abstract E-learning is characterized both by human-human interaction (between students, fellow students and teachers) and by human-machine interaction (between students and e-learning software) to support the learning process. Since several studies point out that men and women differ in their interaction with technology, we perform one-way and inter-individual factor ANOVA analyses to test the existence of significant differences in the assessment and use of e-learning activities by male and female students in the context of an online project between two European universities. As a result, there are few differences between male and female students in their use of e-learning and their motiva…
La metodologia della ricerca in didattica
2021
Il testo descrive le tipologie di ricerca in campo didattico; segnala le aree più rappresentate nel panorama italiano degli ultimi anni e gli ambiti ritenuti prioritari per i prossimi anni; indica una metodologia capace di migliorare la pratica educativa già durante lo svolgimento delle azioni di ricerca; fornisce dei suggerimenti per assicurare la qualità delle ricerche di Didattica indipendentemente dal metodo di indagine adoperato. Le argomentazioni svolte sono animate dalla profonda convinzione che non sia possibile fare ricerca in Didattica senza la collaborazione e il confronto dei ricercatori universitari con gli insegnanti e con gli educatori in generale. The text describes the type…
Evolution of coauthorship networks: worldwide scientific production on leishmaniasis.
2013
Introduction Collaboration is one of the defining features of contemporary scientific research, and it is particularly important with regard to neglected diseases that primarily affect developing countries. Methods The present study has identified publications on leishmaniasis in the Medline database from 1945 to 2010, analyzing them according to bibliometric indicators and statistics from social network analysis. Examining aspects such as scientific production, diachronic evolution, and collaboration and configuration of the research groups in the field, we have considered the different types of Leishmania studied and the institutional affiliation and nationality of the authors. Results Se…
Modelling Mobile Encounter Networks
2006
This article presents mobile encounter networks, which emerge when mobile devices come across each other and form a temporary connection between them using a common short-range radio technology. Local information exchanges between mobile devices results in a broadcast diffusion of information to other users of the network with a delay. In addition to presenting the concept of mobile encounter networks, we also provide an abstract method for describing the information diffusion process inside them. peerReviewed
Higher Education Internationalization: The Erasmus-Mundus network added value
2014
International audience; Higher education internationalization can play a major role in developing universities and students' capacities and their opportunities broadly throughout the world. Irrespective of contextual differences within and between countries, nearly all higher education institutions worldwide are engaged in international activities and are seeking to expand them. Engaging with the world is now considered part of the definition of quality in education and research. However, with the current crisis, possible tensions and counter reactions to the development of the internationalization can occur, such as an imminent resistance to a supposed denationalizing effect of internation…
Development of Municipal Solid Waste Management
2015
This paper is based on an empirical work done by author on a series of case studies such us document studies and analyzing the best practices examples. The objective of this research is to find out barriers to reach regional waste management plan demands in three municipalities: Salacgriva, Saulkrasti and Ikskile. Author gives proposal with some recommendations for development of municipal waste management as well. There are several views and attitudes of local stakeholders such us municipality, waste producers, waste collectors and mediators on how to manage collection and transportation of solid waste in practice as well as on public involvement in the process.. Passivity of stakeholders …
Collaboration between non-governmental organizations and educational leaders in capacity development in rural South Africa
2013
Skills development has been a point of urgency since the advent of progressive governance in democratic South Africa. Despite many efforts through the National Skills Development Strategies and partnerships, the situation still remains worrisome especially in rural context. The study aimed to identify how the NGOs and education leaders collaborate in skills development, its impact, and possible ways of optimizing such practices. A methodology that considers the perspectives of individuals experiencing the phenomenon was invoked. Accordingly, this study exploits the phenomenological approach. Participants were purposely selected from Sector Education Training Authorities and NGOs involved in…
To be or not to be: Collaborative Governance and The Case of Continuous Master Planning in Lahti
2020
The benefits of collaborative actions between different stakeholders has been recognized broadly and has been admitted as one of the key factors in regional development. However, the research has so far focused on examining cases retrospectively, leaving a gap in looking into something on-going and uncertain, as well as it has been common to consider regional development through abstracts concepts. Therefore, there exists less information on the practical implementation of the theories and policies within regions. Additionally, it is important to take into consideration the ever-growing trend of cross-sectoral collaboration - however not only in public-private interface, but also involving …
Radiation-hard semiconductor detectors for SuperLHC
2005
An option of increasing the luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN to 10^35 cm^(- 2) s(- 1) has been envisaged to extend the physics reach of the machine. An efficient tracking down to a few centimetres from the interaction point will be required to exploit the physics potential of the upgraded LHC. As a consequence, the semiconductor detectors close to the interaction region will receive severe doses of fast hadron irradiation and the inner tracker detectors will need to survive fast hadron fluences of up to above 1016 cm 2. The CERN-RD50 project ''Development of Radiation Hard Semiconductor Devices for Very High Luminosity Colliders'' has been established in 2002 to explore…
