Osallistava sävellytysmenetelmä musiikinopetukseen : peruskoulun opetussuunnitelman 2014 tavoitteita ja oppimisen ydinmetaforia toteuttamassa
2017
In my case study, I used two composing tasks to examine how the inclusive composing method (OSM) I have developed promotes the achievement of the aims of the new core curriculum for basic education 2014 and realises the core metaphors of learning. I have created a learning triangle tool to determine how the musical contents, the principles for developing working culture and the goals of music teaching, transversal competences and national education are linked with the latter. In addition to participation and the gaining and creation of knowledge, I included operative competences in these core metaphors. I examined the means OSM offers to evaluate how the students achieve the aims of musical…
Comparing male and female students’ self-efficacy and self-regulation skills in two undergraduate mathematics course contexts
2018
International audience; Students' efficacy beliefs have a positive influence on students' academic achievement and retention, especially for female students. These beliefs are closely linked to students' ability to regulate their learning. In this quantitative study, students' self-efficacy and self-regulation of learning are compared in two university mathematics courses that differ in content but also in their pedagogical setting: one is a more traditional lecture-based course, and the other course is taught with the Extreme Apprenticeship (XA) method. The analysis is based on the same cohort of students in the two contexts (N=91). The results suggest that students have higher self-effica…
Simple flume with a central baffle
2016
Abstract In this paper the stage-discharge relationship of a flume with a central baffle is theoretically deduced using the Buckingham-Theorem of the dimensional analysis and the self-similarity theory. The new stage-discharge equation is calibrated by the measurements carried out by Peruginelli and Bonacci using a baffle having a given throat length and five different values of the contraction ratio. Finally, for a given throat length, a relationship linking the discharge with the upstream water depth, the contraction ratio and the contracted width is deduced.
SELVICOLTURA ALPINA E SELVICOLTURA APPENNINICA: ELEMENTI DI CONTATTO E DI DIFFERENZIAZIONE
2009
Riassunto Il rapporto tra boschi e popolazioni locali sulle Alpi come sugli Appennini, seppur in momenti storici differenti, è stato caratterizzato dalla distruzione e sfruttamento intensivo, protrattisi fino alla metà del secolo scorso, cui hanno fatto seguito la ricostituzione sia mediante rimboschimenti sia con il miglioramento dei boschi esistenti. Partendo dai presupposti sui quali si è imperniata l’attività forestale che ha caratterizzato, nel corso degli ultimi cinquant’anni, l’approccio selvicolturale nei due contesti e da una puntuale e documentata analisi, nel lavoro vengono evidenziati gli elementi di differenziazione tra la selvicoltura naturalistica applicata in ambiente alpino…
Cognitive Linguistics as the Underlying Framework for Semantic Annotation
2012
In recent years many attempts have been made to design suitable sets of rules aimed at extracting the semantic meaning from plain text, and to achieve annotation, but very few approaches make extensive use of grammars. Current systems are mainly focused on extracting the semantic role of the entities described in the text. This approach has limitations: in such applications the semantic role is conceived merely as the meaning of the involved entities without considering their context. As an example, current semantic annotators often specify a date entity without any annotation regarding the kind of the date itself i.e. a birth date, a book publication date, and so on. Moreover, these system…
GUI personalization framework driven by personal semantic user profile
2017
Sovelluskehys käyttöliittymän personointiin käyttäen semanttista käyttäjäprofiilia. Internetin kehittyessä maailma verkostoituu yhä enemmän. Käytämme päivittäin monia laitteita ja erilaisia käyttöliittymiä, mutta vaikka ne monesti jakavat yleisiä käytänteitä ja kuvakkeita, eivät ne kuitenkaan mukaudu yksittäisen käyttäjän tarpeisiin. Vaikka ihmisillä on monia eri ominaisuuksia tai rajoitteita, jotka vaikeuttavat käyttöliittymän omaksumista, palvelun tai ohjelman näkökulmasta käyttäjät mielletään silti yhtenä homogeenisenä joukkona, jonka on mukauduttava käyttöliittymään. Omaksumiskykyyn vaikuttavia tekijöitä ovat esimerkiksi kieli, ikä, koulutustausta ja kulttuuri. Mukautuvan käyttöliittymä…
Automated Detection of Microaneurysms Using Scale-Adapted Blob Analysis and Semi-Supervised Learning
2014
International audience; Despite several attempts, automated detection of microaneurysm (MA) from digital fundus images still remains to be an open issue. This is due to the subtle nature of MAs against the surrounding tissues. In this paper, the microaneurysm detection problem is modeled as finding interest regions or blobs from an image and an automatic local-scale selection technique is presented. Several scale-adapted region descriptors are then introduced to characterize these blob regions. A semi-supervised based learning approach, which requires few manually annotated learning examples, is also proposed to train a classifier to detect true MAs. The developed system is built using only…
Post-it
2020
The history of the invention of post-it, the famous small piece of yellow paper with a re-adherable strip of glue, help us see how designing can be a way of redesigning more than a creation ex nihilo. A designer is who works on the meaning of things, focusing on the relations an artifact creates with humans and non humans. Standing in front of an object, then, the question changes: not what is design but when.
Bcl-xL as a Modulator of Senescence and Aging
2021
Many features of aging result from the incapacity of cells to adapt to stress conditions. When cells are overwhelmed by stress, they can undergo senescence to avoid unrestricted growth of damaged cells. Recent findings have proven that cellular senescence is more than that. A specific grade of senescence promotes embryo development, tissue remodeling and wound healing. However, constant stresses and a weakening immune system can lead to senescence chronicity with aging. The accumulation of senescent cells is directly related to tissue dysfunction and age-related pathologies. Centenarians, the most aged individuals, should accumulate senescent cells and suffer from their deleterious effects,…
Understanding the sense of community and continuance intention in virtual communities: The role of commitment and type of community
2019
Virtual communities (VCs) have become essential in current organizations and society, and so their sustainability is a topic of interest for researchers and practitioners. We focus on the sense of virtual community (SoVC) and commitment as relevant antecedents in achieving the success and maintenance of different types of VCs (communities of interest, virtual learning communities, and virtual communities of practice). Specifically, this study examines a moderated mediation model in which the type of virtual community moderates the indirect effect of a SoVC on the intention to continue through the perceived commitment of the users of the VC. The sample consists of 299 members of Virtual comm…
