The Effect of the Perceived Utility of a Management Control System with a Broad Scope on the Use of Food Waste Information and on Financial and Non-F…
2020
The purpose of this study is to analyse the effect of the perceived utility of a management control system with a broad scope on the use of food waste information and on financial and non-financial performances in restaurants. To collect data, a questionnaire was administered in Brazilian restaurants. Data from 206 restaurants were analysed with structural equation modelling, which was performed with SmartPLS software. The results reveal that a management control system of broad scope, which includes non-financial information, is oriented towards the future, and contains an external and long-term focus, assists in the use of information on food waste. In addition, the use of information abo…
Flavour release at the interfaces of stirred fruit yoghurt models
2006
Abstract Model matrices consisting of a pectin and a dairy gel were investigated to study the transfer of flavour compounds between the different phases of stirred fruit yoghurt. Using a full factorial experimental design, different parameters (storage temperature, initial flavour concentration in the pectin gel and fat content of the dairy gel) were studied. The kinetics of the migration of flavour compounds between the two gels were investigated using a novel SPME method, where a Carboxen/Polydimethylsiloxane fibre was directly inserted into the pectin gel. Flavour compounds were predominantly retained in the pectin gel and thus, the presence of fat in the dairy gel did not affect their t…
Pembesaran Ikan Nila (Oreochromis niloticus) pada Budidaya Sistem Resirkulasi Menggunakan Filtrasi Tanaman Hydrilla verticillata dan Ceratophyllum de…
2021
Penelitian ini mengkombinasikan tanaman Hydrilla verticillata dengan Ceratophyllum demersum sebagai filter pada budidaya ikan Nila sistem resirkulasi.

Kelangsungan hidup ikan selamat pemeliharaan yaitu 100%. Pertumbuhan bobot mutlak individu berkisar 8.76 sampai 16.6 g…
Effect of the Game Design, the Goal Type and the Number of Players on Intensity of Play in Small-Sided Soccer Games in Youth Elite Players
2015
Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the effects of game design modification, the type of the goal and the number of players on the intensity of play in small-sided soccer games (SSGs) in youth elite players. Twenty young soccer players (age 13.7 ± 0.5 years, body mass 57.4 ± 7.8 kg, body height 1.67 ± 7.8 m, maximal heart rate 201.1 ± 8.2 beats/min) performed three types of SSGs (possession play (PP) vs. regular goals (RG) vs. small goals (SG)) in both four-a-side and six-a-side formats. The heart rate responses were recorded and analysed as an indicator of the intensity of play. The four-a-side format obtained higher intensity of play than six-a-side for PP (p<0.05), but not f…
A Design-Oriented Analysis of Multimodality in English as a Foreign Language
2018
This empirical article investigates multimodality in English as a foreign language, both as seen in the use of multimodal texts as artefacts and pedagogical texts for learning, and through an analysis of the multimodal learning designs. We present observations from a year 10 classroom in Norway that worked with the novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (Alexie, 2007). We explore a four-week teaching sequence, asking how different modes were involved when the educator designed literacy events around the novel, and how multimodality is present in the students’ meaning making. Our aim is to make explicit and discuss some of the silent literacy practices in English teaching at l…
Session III - PARAMETRIC MODELLING AND VIDEO MAPPING_INTRODUCTION
2022
Virtual representation, free-form surface modelling techniques and numerical control manufacturing, with their intrinsic dynamic and interactive capabilities, have profoundly expanded and enriched the repertoire of geometric shapes, generating innovative design skills and creative languages. There is no doubt about the opportunities for exploration, contamination, relationships and overlapping of ideas, measurements and information, which the continuous evolution of expeditious, parametric and automatic procedures brings to the use of the many products of the information age. Adopting computation as a form of design is profoundly different from simply using tools geared toward increasing th…

Competenza digitale dei docenti e disabilità. Formazione su Episodi di Apprendimento Situato (EAS) per l'innovazione didattica.
2018
Il percorso di ricerca intrapreso mi ha permesso di strutturare una serie di riflessioni, già avviate all’interno di percorsi di studio universitari precedenti, relativamente all’evidente alta inclusività propria delle Tecnologie dell’informazione e della Comunicazione (TIC) a supporto di alunni con Bisogni Educativi Speciali (BES). A partire dall’assunto che l’innovazione digitale della didattica passi necessariamente dalla consapevole orchestrazione dei diversi strumenti tecnologici e che l’innovazione didattica preceda quella digitale, si è reputato doveroso indagare relativamente alle modalità di sviluppo e di miglioramento delle competenze digitali dei docenti, soprattutto, per quanti …
Diseño y validación de un cuestionario sobre fracaso escolar en alumnado de educación secundaria
2013
Resumen: El presente artículo expone los resultados del diseño y la validación de un cuestionario sobre fracaso escolar, dirigido al alumnado de Educación Secundaria. Se trabajó con una muestra de 200 estudiantes en el Centro de F.P.A (Formación de Personas Adultas) Germà Colón de Castelló de la Plana (España) durante el curso 2010/2011. El instrumento está compuesto por 35 ítems, divididos en cuatro dimensiones principales (centro educativo, aula, profesorado y situación personal y familiar). Se desarrolla la validación de contenido mediante un Comité de Expertos, el análisis factorial para validar el constructo y el análisis de fiabilidad del cuestionario. Los resultados muestran una buen…
Fabrication of a Silicide Thermoelectric Module Employing Fractional Factorial Design Principles
2021
AbstractThermoelectric modules can be used in waste heat harvesting, sensing, and cooling applications. Here, we report on the fabrication and performance of a four-leg module based on abundant silicide materials. While previously optimized Mg2Si0.3Sn0.675Bi0.025 is used as the n-type leg, we employ a fractional factorial design based on the Taguchi methods mapping out a four-dimensional parameter space among Mnx-εMoεSi1.75−δGeδ higher manganese silicide compositions for the p-type material. The module is assembled using a scalable fabrication process, using a Cu metallization layer and a Pb-based soldering paste. The maximum power output density of 53 μW cm–2 is achieved at a hot-side temp…
