Este es el fin de la escuela tal y como la conocemos. Unas reflexiones en tiempo de confinamiento.

2020

The crisis caused by COVID-19 has placed the school in an unprecedented scenario. From one day to the next, teaching –when this has been possible– has moved from being face-to-face to being virtual. It remains unknown what percentage of teachers and students may be teaching and learning telematically and to what strategies they are resorting. Under these circumstances, the differences among students in terms of economic and cultural capital are aggravated. If radical measures are not taken, it is likely that this period without face-to-face tea- ching may take its toll on an entire generation. Teachers, students and parents are now accessing educational content –of the kind provided by the …

Latest evolution of academic research in corporate social responsibility: an empirical analysis

2010

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to determine whether management‐ and marketing‐salient literature focused on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and related issues has evolved from 2003 to 2006, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and to learn which of three competitive epistemological evolutional views (progressive, variegational, normativist) best fits CSR evolution in both disciplines.Design/methodology/approachFollowing an ex professo methodology developed by de Bakker, Groenewegen and Den Hond, a content analysis (CA)‐based empirical examination of 570 papers focused on CSR and corporate social performance (CSP) published in indexed management and marketing journals between 20…

Statement validity assessment: Inter-rater reliability of criteria-based content analysis in the mock-crime paradigm

2005

Methods. Three raters were trained in CBCA. Subsequently, they analysed transcripts of 102 statements referring to a simulated theft of money. Some of the statements were based on experience and some were confabulated. The raters used 4-point scales, respectively, to judge the degree to which 18 of the 19 CBCA criteria were fulfilled in each statement. Results. The analysis of rater judgment distributions revealed that, with judgments of individual raters varying only slightly across transcripts, the weighted kappa coefficient, the product-moment correlation, and the intra-class correlation were inadequate indices of reliability. The Finn-coefficient and percentage agreement, which were cal…

Corruption in banks: A bibliometric review and agenda

2020

Abstract This paper is a bibliometric review of 819 articles, between 1969 and 2019, on corruption in banks. We identified six research streams: (1) the determinants of banks’ lending corruption; (2) the impact of corruption on banks’ lending and operational risk; (3) the impact of bank corruption on firms; (4) the impact of political connections on bank corruption; (5) the impact of corporate governance and regulations on bank corruption; and (6) the manipulation of the inter-bank offered rate. We recommend an anti-corruption architecture system and an extension in theoretical frameworks related to corruption in banks. We propose 20 future research questions.

Variation in assessing the need for change of snacking habits in schoolchildren's oral health counselling

2008

Objectives.  This study examined counselling communication activities that were used for assessing schoolchildren's need for change of snacking habits. In addition, the schoolchildren's assessment of their need for change was explored after a follow-up year (2002–2003). Material and methods.  The follow-up research data included 66 counselling sessions in 2002 and 31 counselling sessions in 2003, with 31 schoolchildren. The sessions were conducted by four dental hygienists. The audio-taped data were analysed qualitatively by using content analysis. Results.  In 2002, the needs assessment was realized in three ways. Infrequently, the schoolchildren either disclosed their need for change or t…

Patients' readiness for dietary change at the beginning of counselling: a transtheoretical model-based assessment.

2003

Background  The purpose of this study was to explore patients' readiness for dietary change within a theoretical framework of the transtheoretical model. The patients were recently diagnosed to have type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. We discuss the theoretical aspects of appropriate dietary counselling strategies from a standpoint of patient-specific stages of change. Methods  The data included 32 audiotaped diabetes counselling sessions with 16 patients conducted by two nurses. The transcribed data was analysed by using deductive content analysis. Results  The patients were at different stages of change of diabetes-affected dietary behaviour. Their stages of change varied in di…

Oral health counselling in changing schoolchildren's oral hygiene habits: a qualitative study.

2006

Abstract –  Objective:  This study explored oral health counselling concerning changes of oral hygiene habits in 11- to 13-year-old schoolchildren within a theoretical framework of the transtheoretical model and the motivational interview. Methods:  The follow-up data (2002–2003) formed two sequential parts: the first part comprised 66 counselling sessions in 2002; the second part included 31 counselling sessions in 2003. Thirty-one (n = 31) schoolchildren were included in the counselling sessions that were conducted by four dental hygienists. The audiotaped and transcribed data were analysed qualitatively by using content analysis. Results:  In 2002, nearly every schoolchild needed to esta…

Contemporary Children’s Film, CGI, and the Child Viewer’s Attention

2019

The aim of this chapter is to methodologically characterize a group of contemporary children’s films that have rarely been addressed as a separate category, namely live-action/animation hybrids. Using four recent films, the chapter illustrates a range of possible relationships between the analogue (live-filmed) and computer-generated content and the likely impact on the child viewer of various configurations of such hybrids. In particular, the chapter addresses the role of the live child actor and the function of animated creatures. Because many live-action/animation hybrids are directed toward the younger child audience represented by a G rating, this chapter also addresses the child viewe…

Critical evaluation skills when using online information are considered important in many research and education frameworks; critical thinking and information literacy are cited as key twenty-first century skills for students. Higher education may play a special role in promoting students' skills in critically evaluating (online) sources. Today, higher education students are more likely to use the Internet instead of offline sources such as textbooks when studying for exams. However, far from being a value-neutral, curated learning environment, the Internet poses various challenges, including a large amount of incomplete, contradictory, erroneous, and biased information. With low barriers t…

L-Band vegetation optical depth for crop phenology monitoring and crop yield assessment

2018

Vegetation Optical Depth (VOD) at L-band is highly sensitive to the water content and above-ground biomass of vegetation. Hence, it has great potential for monitoring crop phenology and for providing crop yield forecasts. Recently, the Multi-Temporal Dual Channel Algorithm (MT -DCA) has been proposed to retrieve L-band VOD from Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) measurements. In previous research, SMAP VOD has been compared to crop phenology and has been used to derive crop yield estimates. Here, we review and expand these initial research studies. In particular, we quantify the capability of VOD to detect different crop stages, and test different VOD metrics (i.e., maximum, range and inte…
