Validation of a Modified Version of the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ12) in Spain
2018
Background : Previous studies have found some limitations and inconsistencies in the functioning of the short Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ12), suggesting the need to improve it. The objective of the current study is to validate a modified version of the PCQ12 in Spain. Method : The sample consists of 792 employees from 42 Spanish organizations. A cross-validation was carried out to test the factorial validity of the modified scale. Reliability and convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity were also tested. Results : The modified PCQ12 showed good psychometric qualities. A four-factor structure showed a better fit to the data than the original second-order structure. Conc…
Parents as Informants of their Child's Vocal and Early Language Development
1996
Continuity in vocalization and language development was examined in the longitudinal study of 94 children. Parents observed their infant's vocal development with the help of a checklist during the first year of life and reported their lexical development by using the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventories (the CDIs) at the ages of 14 and 18 months. The Reynell Developmental Language Scales (the RDLS) were administered to the children in a laboratory setting at 18 months. The vocalization checklist revealed milestones of sound production which parents reported reliably and which were significantly related to the child's later language development. The continuity in vocal and languag…
Post-cesarean section morbidity in HIV-positive women
1999
Background The present work is an audit of post-cesarean section morbidity in HIV-positive women in the tertiary teaching hospital La Fe, Valencia, Spain. Study design. Retrospective case-control study. Subjects. Forty-five HIV-positive pregnant women and 90 appropriately matched controls, delivered by cesarean section in the same hospital and managed using a uniform protocol. Main outcome measures. The duration of stay in hospital after cesarean section, the need for postoperative antibiotics and the incidence of major and minor puerperal complications. Baseline characteristics of HIV-positive women were also analyzed in relation to the morbidity after surgery. Statistical analysis. Chi-sq…
Evolution et structure des compétences des élèves à l'école élémentaire et au collège : une analyse empirique des évaluations nationales
2006
Il s'agit de la synthèse du rapport final en réponse à l'appel d'offres : Maîtrise du langage, diversité des pratiques pédagogiques et socle commun de compétences, pour le Centre Henri Aigueperse, UNSA-Education. La recherche, basée en grande partie sur l'analyse des résultats des élèves aux évaluations nationales, a pour objectif principal de mieux comprendre comment les acquisitions scolaires se structurent dans une double perspective : transversale (à un moment donné de la scolarité) et longitudinale (au cours des cycles d'enseignement). Dans cette optique, des données ont été collectées sur un échantillon d'environ 700 élèves originaires d'une même circonscription scolaire à différents …
Dynamiques de classe et efficacité scolaire
2003
The present research aims at describing the efficiency of teaching practices involved in dynamic "teaching-training" processes. Our main approach consisted in relating in-class-monitoring to the results of knowledge-acquisition by pupils so as to better explain through what means the pupils’ knowledge and competence are acquired. At a theoretical level this implies combining the "process-product" paradigm along with the "ecological" paradigm [ 1]. Results obtained indicate that bringing together the analysis of teaching practices with the evaluation of their impact "which are still limited to an exploratory stage" are a method well-worth pursuing. [ 1] See above the general introduction to …
Compétences langagières acquises en milieu familial et acquisitions scolaires en cycle 2 : Le cas du créole et du français en contexte martiniquais
2006
06072 - 89 p.; Projet retenu dans l'appel à projet en 2003. ACI Ecole et Sciences cognitives (Ministère délégué à la recherche et aux nouvelles technologies); Ce projet vise en particulier à répondre à trois questions : Le niveau de langage en français des enfants créolophones est-il quantitativement et qualitativement différent des enfants de métropole ? Existe t-il une corrélation entre les compétences langagières dans l'une et l'autre langue ? Leur niveau en deux langues exerce t-il un impact sur leurs acquisitions scolaires? Avant de présenter la méthodologie de l'étude, une revue de questions et d'études en matière de bilinguisme est proposée selon deux champs disciplinaires : psycholi…
3D chain interactive
2014
With constant evolution of technology, 3D scanners are providing more and more data with ever greater precision. However, the substantial increase of the data size is problematic. Files become very heavy and can cause problems in data transmission or data storage. Therefore, most of the time, the data obtained by the 3d scanners will be analyzed, processed and simplify; this is called 3D acquisition chain.This manuscript presents an approach which digitize objects dynamically by adapting point density during the acquisition depending on the object complexity, without informations on object shape. This system allows to avoid the use of the classic 3D chain. This system do not calculate a den…
Data Modelling for Dynamic Monitoring of Vital Signs: Challenges and Perspectives
2017
The use-case described in this paper covers data acquisition and real-time analysis of the gathered medical data from wearable sensor system. Accumulated data is essential for monitoring vital signs and tracking the dynamics of the treatment process of disabled patients or patients undergoing the recovery after traumatic knee joint injury (e.g. post-operative rehabilitation). The main goal of employing the wearable sensor system is to conduct rehabilitation process more effectively and increase the rate of successful rehabilitation. The results of data analysis of patient’s vital signs and feedback allow a physiotherapist to adjust the rehabilitation scenario on the fly. In this paper, we f…
Process innovation objectives and management complementarities: patterns, drivers, co-adoption and performance effects
2012
[EN] The excessive concentration of the innovation literature on product development, its drivers and effects, has almost neglected an important strategy which develops and sustains a firm's competitive advantage: process development or innovation. This is an examination of process innovation as more than a mere dependent variable for predicting innovators. It provides insights into the poor attention that process innovation variable has received as an indicator of a firm's performance. In addition, the paper relates this process with the management innovation phenomenon. Using 8,977 firms from Spain through CIS data, findings suggest: (1) most process innovation performance is explained wi…
The impact of foreign language mediated teaching on teachers’ sense of professional integrity in the CLIL classroom
2011
Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) has received significant interest in recent years as a practical means of creating a plurilingual European community. A key feature of CLIL is the non-native speaking teacher responsible for developing learners’ content and language knowledge in a foreign language mediated environment. Teachers often enter the CLIL classroom with established expertise in either content or language learning; however, the impact of entering the foreign language mediated environment is little explored in existing literature. This investigative research is based on six teacher interviews intended to access the teachers’ own understanding of how foreign language me…
