Training needs of teachers in ICT: Training profiles and elements of complexity
2011
Training needs of teachers in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is one of the key aspects for the integration of ICT in daily educational practice, along with competences in ICT and the use of these technological resources by teachers. The aim of this paper is to establish teacher training profiles and relate them to their competences in ICT and the use thereof, together with personal and contextual factors. To this end, it has been used a survey design, with the sample 868 teachers from primary and secondary education in the Comunidad Valenciana. The instrument for collecting information is a questionnaire. The results indicate that teachers demand higher-level training in p…
Las necesidades formativas del profesorado en TIC: perfiles formativos y elementos de complejidad
2011
Las necesidades formativas del profesorado en las Tecnologías de la Información y de la Comunicación (TIC) se constituyen como uno de los aspectos claves para la integración de las TIC en la práctica educativa diaria, junto con las competencias en TIC y el uso de estos recursos tecnológicos por parte del profesorado. El objetivo de este artículo es establecer perfiles formativos del profesorado y relacionarlos con sus competencias en TIC y el uso de las mismas, junto con factores personales y contextuales. Para ello, se ha utilizado un diseño de encuesta, con una muestra de 868 profesores y profesoras de Educación Primaria y Secundaria de la Comunidad Valenciana, siendo el instrumento de re…
First real–time detection of solar pp neutrinos by Borexino
2014
International audience; Solar neutrinos have been pivotal to the discovery of neutrino flavour oscillations and are a unique tool to probe the reactions that keep the Sun shine. Although most of solar neutrino components have been directly measured, the neutrinos emitted by the keystone pp reaction, in which two protons fuse to make a deuteron, have so far eluded direct detection. The Borexino experiment, an ultra-pure liquid scintillator detector running at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy, has now filled the gap, providing the first direct real time measurement of pp neutrinos and of the solar neutrino luminosity.
Anther Culture Effectiveness in Producing Doubled Haploids of Cereals/ Putekðòu Kultûras Efektivitâte Graudaugu Dubultoto Haploîdu Izveidoðanâ
2014
Abstract Our goal was to improve the method of obtaining double haploids (DH) by anther culture from Latvian breeding material for several agriculturally important cereals in Latvia: barley, spring and winter wheat. Hybrids from Latvian breeders were initial material. It was found that copper (2.5 mg/l) added to barley anther pre-treatment media and to both barley (C3) and wheat (liquid AMC) induction media, resulted in a higher percentage of green plants-regenerants. In general, the winter wheat hybrids exhibited lower embryogenesis than spring wheat hybrids. Obtaining a large number of DH lines from barley and wheat hybrids with unknown androgenesis response can be organized in two stages…
Dialogue as a Response to the Psychiatrization of Society? Potentials of the Open Dialogue Approach
2021
In recent decades, the use of psychosocial and psychiatric care systems has increased worldwide. A recent article proposed the concept of psychiatrization as an explanatory framework, describing multiple processes responsible for the spread of psychiatric concepts and forms of treatment. This article aims to explore the potentials of the Open Dialogue (OD) approach for engaging in less psychiatrizing forms of psychosocial support. While OD may not be an all-encompassing solution to de-psychiatrization, this paper refers to previous research showing that OD has the potential to 1) limit the use of neuroleptics, 2), reduce the incidences of mental health problems and 3) decrease the use of ps…
Exploring the Ideal of Dialogue by Taking into Account Both an Observed Interaction Session and the Participants’ Views on the Interaction
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Interchange. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10780-014-9221-7 The focus of the article is on the ideal of using dialogue to promote contact between school and home. The aim was to explore this ideal by taking into account both an observed interaction session and how the participants perceive this interaction. The study draws on data from observation of a meeting about a pupil with special needs and his transition from lower to upper secondary school. The participants were the pupil, the mother and father, the special needs teacher, the school counsellor, the school psychology counsellor and the special needs co…

Valtti-ohjelma lisäsi erityistä tukea tarvitsevien lasten ja nuorten fyysistä aktiivisuutta ja liikunnan harrastamista
2017
Erityistä tukea tarvitsevien lasten ja nuorten fyysinen aktiivisuus on vähäisempää kuin vammattomilla lapsilla ja nuorilla. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää Valtti-ohjelman vaikutuksia 6–23-vuotiaiden erityislasten ja -nuorten fyysiseen aktiivisuuteen ja liikunnan harrastamiseen. Kaikkiaan 367 erityislasta ja -nuorta ympäri Suomea hakivat mukaan Valtti-ohjelmaan ja heistä 155 (68 % poikia, ikä ka 12.2 vuotta) osallistuivat tähän tutkimukseen. Tutkimukseen osallistuvat lapset ja nuoret saivat oman Valtti-henkilön, joka auttoi heitä etsimään soveltuvia harrastusmahdollisuuksia, teki harrastekokeilusuunnitelman sekä tuki ja kannusti harrastekokeilujen aikana. Valtti-ohjelma on Suo…
Opposing health effects of hybridization for conservation
2021
The continuing decline of many natural plant and animal populations emphasizes the importance of conservation strategies. Hybridization as a management tool has proven successful in introducing gene flow to small, inbred populations, but can be also associated with health risks. For example, hybridization can change susceptibility to infection in either direction due to heterosis (hybrid vigor) and outbreeding depression, but such health effects have rarely been considered in the genetic management of populations. Here, we investigated the effects of experimental outcrossing between the critically endangered Saimaa landlocked salmon (Salmo salar m. sebago) and the genetically more diverse A…
Detección de cambios anómalos mediante teledetección
2016
Este trabajo de fin de máster aborda el problema de la detección automática de cambios anómalos ocurridos en la superficie terrestre mediante imágenes satelitales de la Tierra. Dichos cambios implican cualquier variación fuera de lo típicamente esperado que se produzca en un área determinada del planeta. Su detección es muy importante dentro de las ciencias de la Tierra, ya que en el contexto actual de calentamiento global y cambio climático, presentan una importancia muy elevada en la escala global y local, permitiendo descubrir nuevos efectos generados por las actividades humanas que alteren el medio natural, y también posibles desestabilizaciones a gran escala entre los sistemas terrestr…
