Long-Term Development of How Students Interpret a Model: Complementarity of Contexts and Mathematics
2017
When students engage in rich mathematical modelling tasks, they have to handle real-world contexts and mathematics in chorus. This is not easy. In this chapter, contexts and mathematics are perceived as complementary, which means they can be integrated. Based on four types of approaches to modelling tasks (ambivalent, reality bound, mathematics bound or integrating), we used task-based interviews to study the development of students’ approaches while the students moved from grade 11 to 12. Our participants were ten Dutch students. We found that their approaches initially were either ambivalent, reality bound or mathematics bound. In subsequent interviews, the preference was maintained, and …
Cultural diversity: how can it increases the complexity of teaching mathematics in multicultural class? The case of Chinese students
2015
The paper, examining the increasing presence of different culture students in Italy, discusses the didactical problematic of multiculturalism at School. In particular a possible “comparison” between East (China, Korea and Japan) and West mathematical epistemology is presented through a historical and linguistic cultural approaches. Some evidences of analogies and differences between the cognitive styles of Chinese and Italian learners in mathematics are presented as examples to show the complexity of teaching/learning mathematics in multicultural classroom
MATHEMATIQUES ET VIVRE ENSEMBLE": POURQUOI, QUOI, COMMENT? - "MATHEMATICS AND LIVING TOGETHER": WHY, HOW, WHAT?
2019
The 70th CIEAEM conference was held from 15th to 19th July 2018 at Université de Mostaganem - Fondation Djanatu Al Arif, Mostaganem (Algerie). It successfully involved several participants from many countries all over the world. At the conference, researchers, teachers, educators, and students discussed, with a collaborative and inspiring attitude, different significant problems, obstacles and resources related to mathematics education and the important theme of the conference “What is living together?”; they also presented their latest research findings in the several conference activities: plenary talks, working groups, workshops, and poster presentations (forum of ideas). As in previous …
Real elements and p-nilpotence of finite groups
2016
Our first main result proves that every element of order 4 of a Sylow 2-subgroup S of a minimal non-2-nilpotent group G, is a real element of S. This allows to give a character-free proof of a theorem due to Isaacs and Navarro (see [9, Theorem B]). As an application, the authors show a common extension of the p-nilpotence criteria proved in [3] and [9]. The first and the second authors have been supported by the grant MTM2014-54707-C3-1-P from the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, Spain, and FEDER, European Union. The first author has been also supported by a project from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC, No. 11271085) and a project of Natural Science Foundation…
Cloning of Two Putative Ecdysteroid Receptor Isoforms from Tenebrio Molitor and their Developmental Expression in the Epidermis during Metamorphosis
1997
Using the Drosophila EcR-B1 cDNA as a probe, we have cloned the putative ecdysteroid receptor from the mealworm Tenebrio molitor. We have isolated two cDNAs with different 5' termini that contain a complete open reading frame. These two cDNAs encode two proteins with distinct N-terminal regions corresponding to two isoforms. The coleopteran receptor is obviously related to the ecdysteroid receptor of other insects, but shares only 89% and 61% amino acid identities with the DNA-binding and ligand-binding domains of the Drosophila receptor, respectively. Its expression pattern has been examined in the epidermis during the last larval instar and pupal stage of T. molitor, in correlation with t…

A Fuzzy-Clustering Based Approach for Measuring Similarity Between Melodies
2017
Symbolic melodic similarity aims to evaluate the degree of likeness of two or more sequences of notes. In this work, we propose the use of fuzzy c-means clustering as a tool for the measurement of the similarity between two melodies with a different number of notes. Moreover, we present an algorithm, FOCM, implemented in a computer program written in C\(\sharp \) able to read two melodies from files with MusicXML format and to perform the clustering to calculate the dissimilarity between any two melodies. In addition, for each iteration step in the convergence process of the algorithm, a family of intermediate states (transition melodies) are obtained that can be used as new thematic materi…
Research on complement: old issues revisited and a novel sphere of influence
2003
Immunology in recent years has taken a somewhat surprising turn, expressed by a renewed interest in innate immunity. Especially intriguing is the regulatory role exerted by the innate components on the adaptive response, with Toll receptors and complement components being the most investigated. This function has been firmly established for complement protein CR2 (CD21) as part of the BCR co-receptor CD19/CD21/CD81. New findings are now providing a broader picture of complement and its tuning of the immune response; for example, complement proteins have been implicated in the control of T-cell-mediated responses. We will review some of these data here and summarize new discoveries in areas o…
Differences in the Association of BH3-Only Proteins to Biological Membranes
2017
Apoptosis, a prevalent mechanism of programmed cell death, is regulated by the Bcl-2 protein family. The balance between pro- and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 members in the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) protects or triggers MOM permeabilization. Bcl-2 homology-3 (BH3)-only proteins participate in this process activating pro-apoptotic effectors and promoting permeabilization of the MOM. The membrane association of BH3-only proteins is controversial due to the lack of a canonical carboxyl-terminal (C-terminal) transmembrane (TM) domain. We used an in vitro transcription/translation system to study the insertion capacity of these hydrophobic C-terminal regions of the BH3-members Bik, Bim, Noxa, …
Expression and distribution of the glucocorticoid receptor DlGR1 in the teleost Dicentrarchus labrax brain
2009
Cortisol is the main corticosteroid secreted by the interrenal cells of the head kidney and it exerts a role in mantaining the omeostatic status in fish. In teleosts its effects are mediated through intracellular receptors expressed in several tissues, that are ligand-dependent transcription factors by binding to specific tissue DNA sequences. In Dicentrarchus labrax we previously cloned and sequenced a glucocorticoid receptor, DlGR1, isolated from leukocytes of peritoneal cavity. In this work we showed mRNA expression and tissue immunohistochemical localization of brain DlGR1 by in situ hybridization assays, with a riboprobe with DlGR1 cDNA trascriptional activation domain, and by immunohi…
