Dynamic Potential of Feedback in Self-Regulated Learning and Motivation of Children with Mathematical Learning Difficulties
2017
The present study was designed to examine the effects of feedback conditions on learning and motivation of children identified with mathematical learning difficulties (MLDs). The performance of 76 fifth grade children on computational math skills and related task motivation was assessed. The groups of children were randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions: immediate corrective feedback or delayed conventional feedback on two occasions. Results showed that children performed significantly better when they were provided with the immediate corrective feedback than when they were provided with the delayed conventional feedback. The findings suggest that provision of the immediate co…
La face cachée de la co-création de valeur : l’exemple de l’architecture commerciale française
2019
L’innovation requiert une activité en réseau pour laquelle différents acteurs doivent s’associer. La conduite d’une enquête ethnographique au sein de l’architecture commerciale française souligne l’ambivalence du processus de coproduction. L’analyse identifie des sources de co-création et co-destruction, liées aux motivations des acteurs et à leurs interactions, et rend compte de leurs conséquences. Les détaillants sont invités à se (re)positionner comme des chefs de projet, garants de l’assignation des rôles et de l’arbitrage entre les fonctions créatives et techniques. Le développement de nouvelles plateformes de communication, susceptibles de pallier les biais d’interprétation entre acte…
Ļaunprātīgas rīcības jēdziens Ženēvas 1956. gada 19. maija Konvencijā "Par kravu starptautisko autopārvadājumu līgumu (CMR)."
2015
CMR konvencijā pārvadātāju atbildība par pilnīgu vai daļēju kravas zaudējumu ir ierobežota. Tomēr 29. pantā ir ietverts izņēmums, kad pārvadātāja atbildība netiek ierobežota. 29. panta redakcija pieļauj ļoti atšķirīgu izpratni attiecībā uz to, kādos gadījumos pārvadātājs ir jāatbrīvo no atbildības. Darba mērķis ir padziļināti izpētīt ļaunprātīgas un tai pielīdzināmas rīcības jēdziena saturu, salīdzinot jēdziena izpratni Rietumeiropas valstīs un Latvijā. Darba ietvaros autors veiks konvencijas 29. panta teleoloģiskā un vēsturisko interpretāciju, kā arī aplūkos un analizēs valstu tiesu praksi 29. panta piemērošanā. Darba rezultāts ir izstrādāts pētījums, kurā ir uzskatāmi salīdzināta valstu i…
What makes a citrus farmer go 'organic'? Empirical evidence from Spanish citrus farming
2012
Organic farming is increasing its share of total world food output and receiving grow-ing support from policymakers concerned with agricultural sustainability issues. This paper studies the characteristics of citrus farmers in the Spanish region of Valencia that affect their probability of becoming organic farmers. A fair understanding of these characteristics may help policymakers improve the design of agricultural policies aimed at supporting organic citrus practices. As regards the methodology, a probit model is estimated with information from a sample of conventional and organic citrus farmers obtained from a survey designed for a larger research project aimed at analysing Valencian cit…
Patriarchal reaction against advances in sexist violence
2019
La violencia que se ejerce contra las mujeres es una violación de los derechos humanos muy extendida, y, en gran parte, impune en todo el mundo. Cuando parecía que existía un consenso en el abordaje de la violencia machista, actualmente nos enfrentamos a una amenaza de retroceso, que intenta poner en cuestión, incluso, el concepto acordado por Naciones Unidas (1979), OMS (2002), el Convenio de Estambul (2011) y la Ley Orgánica 1/2004, de 28 de diciembre, de Medidas de Protección Integral contra la violencia de género en el caso del Estado español. Este artículo es una reflexión, basada en la idea de que las sociedades democráticas tenemos la obligación de blindar la defensa de los derechos …
Kontrowersje wokół folkloru, folkloryzmu jako niematerialnego dziedzictwa kulturowego
2015
The authoress has taken interest in new aspects of folklore and folklorism in the contemporary culture as well as in the current discussion on folk culture, tradition and cultural heritage in Poland. She based her reflections on the 2003 UNESCO Convention (ratified by Poland only in 2011): terms ‘folklore’ and ‘folklorism’ are replaced with a new term ‘intangible cultural heritage’ which also includes material culture. However, there is a dichotomy between the cultural policy at the state level (including common knowledge of organisers of cultural activities and culture creators) and academic theory.
Realizacja Konwencji UNESCO z 2003 roku w Polsce z perspektywy folklorysty
2018
The author continues her research on folklore and folklorism in the contemporary culture in the framework of the discussion held currently in Poland on the intangible cultural heritage and all the actions aiming at its protection and preservation. She starts from 2003 UNESCO Convention which coins the new term of intangible cultural heritage to replace the terms folklore and folklorism, commonly used in informal and scientific discourse. The new term covers also material culture. The author has already referred to the complex set of phenomena that accompany the change in terminology, pointing e.g. at the growing discrepancy between the academic theory and the cultural policy of the state. N…
Whose voice? Understanding stakeholder involvement in law drafting affecting Sami reindeer herding
2019
A communication and a legal approach are combined to investigate stakehold-er involvement in law drafting affecting Sami reindeer herding. The thesis fo-cuses on Finland, participation in law drafting in the Act on Metsähallitus (For-est Management and Park Services) and consultation related to the adoption of the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 169 concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries. The research aims at gaining a better understanding of communication preceding and during law drafting processes regarding indigenous land use. It clarifies the changing con-text of the law drafting in which the issue of land use is addressed. Study 1 provi…

South China Sea or West Philippine Sea?
2017
The South China Sea (“West Philippine Sea”) has been for several years a space of potential conflict between several countries due to overlapping of their EEZs and China’s claim of a large part of this oceanic space, well beyond its UN-endorsed EEZ. The Spratly islets and Scarborough shoal are mere coral reefs, uninhabited for the most part, but they lie in the middle of rich fishing grounds and atop large reserves of petroleum and natural gas. Furthermore, the area is one of the world’s busiest sea lanes for commercial navigation. This chapter presents the general rules of UNCLOS (international laws pertaining to oceanic space), and then examines the competing claims, focusing on the China…
