A NEW TOOL FOR THE STUDY OF RESONANCE IN CHEMICAL EDUCATION
2014
The objective of this study is to present a computer-based project, for which our program POLAR and our version of PAPID were written for the study of the subject of resonance in chemistry. Both algorithms allow a better didactic strategy and methodological adaptation for the study of molecular properties in chemical education. Teachers will find the options of POLAR and PAPID useful for demonstrations. It is still to be explored the methodological application of these computational programs enriching the present teaching techniques. Implementing new algorithms in learning situations is technically simple, but checking their usefulness in teaching practice is extraordinarily complex and req…
Determining the Number of Factors to Retain in EFA: An easy-to-use computer program for carrying out Parallel Analysis
2007
Parallel Analysis is a Monte Carlo simulation technique that aids researchers in determining the number of factors to retain in Principal Component and Exploratory Factor Analysis. This method provides a superior alternative to other techniques that are commonly used for the same purpose, such as the Scree test or the Kaiser's eigenvalue-greater-than-one rule. Nevertheless, Parallel Analysis is not well known among researchers, in part because it is not included as an analysis option in the most popular statistical packages. This paper describes and illustrates how to apply Parallel Analysis with an easy-to-use computer program called ViSta-PARAN. ViSta-PARAN is a user-friendly application …
Improving quality and safety in nursing homes and home care: the study protocol of a mixed-methods research design to implement a leadership interven…
2018
IntroductionNursing homes and home care face challenges across different countries as people are living longer, often with chronic conditions. There is a lack of knowledge regarding implementation and impact of quality and safety interventions as most research evidence so far is generated in hospitals. Additionally, there is a lack of effective leadership tools for quality and safety improvement work in this context.Methods and analysisThe aim of the ‘Improving Quality and Safety in Primary Care—Implementing a Leadership Intervention in Nursing Homes and Homecare’ (SAFE-LEAD) study is to develop and evaluate a research-based leadership guide for managers to increase quality and safety compe…
Distributed Leadership and the Visibility/Invisibility Paradox in On-line Communities
2011
This paper analyzes the role of distributed leadership in three on-line communities, reflecting on an observed visibility/invisibility paradox in leadership within these communities. Leaders who downplay their seniority and assume a degree of invisibility, allocating discretionary powers to subordinate levels in an organizational hierarchy, may facilitate the emergence of distributed leadership. Yet, simultaneously, leader-led relations are enabled by high leadership visibility. This paradox—that leaders need to be both highly visible and also invisible, or hands-off, when the occasion requires it—was derived from prior research into e-learning communities and tested in the analysis of disc…
Comparing Different approaches - Data mining, Geostatistic, and Deterministic pedology - to assess the Frequency of WRB reference soil groups in the …
2014
Estimating frequency of soil classes in map unit is always affected by some degree of uncertainty, especially at small scales, with a larger generalization. The aim of this study was to compare different possible approaches - data mining, geostatistic, deterministic pedology - to assess the frequency of WRB Reference Soil Groups (RSG) in the major Italian soil regions. In the soil map of Italy (Costantini et al., 2012), a list of the first five RSG was reported in each major 10 soil regions. The soil map was produced using the national soil geodatabase, which stored 22,015 analyzed and classified pedons, 1,413 soil typological unit (STU) and a set of auxiliary variables (lithology, land-use…
DIRITTO ROMANO E DIRITTO CIVILE: LE RAGIONI DI UNA RINNOVATA RIFLESSIONE STORICA SUI MODELLI TEORICI E METODOLOGICI. A PROPOSITO DEL VOLUME DI GUIDO …
2021
The article investigates the relationship between Roman law, legal Tradition and modern civil law. The focus is mainly on theoretical and methodological models in the history of private law. In evaluating the history of the institutions, categories and concepts of civil law, the awareness is renewed that modern Codes are profoundly linked to ancient Tradition, and at the same time, represent the instrument of transmission of the same to subsequent eras. At the same time, it should be considered that even today's legal interpretation is deeply linked to Tradition, in content but above all in method. In this sense, it is then evident that carrying out an interpretation of private law in confo…
Teoría y metodología de investigación sobre libros de texto: análisis didáctico de las actividades, las imágenes y los recursos digitales en la enseñ…
2018
RESUMEN Los materiales curriculares en cualquier formato, especialmente el manual escolar de Ciencias Sociales - Geografía e Historia -, se ha constituido históricamente como un recurso central en las aulas para esta disciplina. En este estudio planteamos su evolución teórica como problema de investigación en Ciencias Sociales (en el contexto español) en lo que respecta a su contenido, utilización y difusión para plantear una metodología de análisis de manuales basada en el estudio de las actividades y de las imágenes vinculadas a la complejidad cognitiva demandada en ellas. Las conclusiones insisten en el papel del libro de texto como un componente central de la cultura escolar en España e…
Life Skills e formazione iniziale dei docenti
2022
challenges of everyday life. Learning to live involves acquiring many skills, for which in some cases there is a natural predisposition, but which always require a "guided" exercise in real life contexts so that the person acquires the skills necessary to "live properly". The research was conducted with a group of 153 students from the Master of Science in Primary Education, who participated in a two-year training project during the academic years 2020-21 and 2021-22. This article describes whether and to what extent the students believe they have developed the four chosen life skills and which of the training methodologies adopted by the lecturers were most effective.
Gestures within Human-Technology Choreographies for Interaction Design
2013
In the traditional use-oriented approach, only a fraction of gestures are taken as relevant to interaction. In this paper we argue that gestures should not be handled only as isolated objects of application use, but they should rather be understood as dynamic moments of embodied presence belonging to an experiential chain of different movements which has its own significance as a whole. In the current study, we call the embodied, experiential continuum of human action choreography. We assume that choreography is a fruitful theoretical concept in understanding interaction design because by choreography we can understand gestures as building up a chain of a bigger whole. The dynamic formulati…
Software Startup ESSENCE : How Should Software Startups Work?
2020
Software startups need to work in a systematic fashion just like mature organizations. However, existing software engineering methods and practices are not aimed at software startups. They do not account for the business aspect of startups and may not be well suited for software startups in general. The Lean Startup Methodology on the other hand contains some useful practices for software startups but is nonetheless impractical, offering little in the way of telling you what to do. Software startups are thus required to tailor their own method. Currently, many software startups simply work ad hoc or use various Agile methods and practices. In terms of Agile methods and practices, little con…
