Barns tilgang til erfaringer som er relevante for samfunnsfag
2022
Praktiske erfaringer er en viktig kilde til sakkunnskap i samfunnsfag på småskoletrinnet. 97 prosent av elevene har 2–5 års barnehageerfaring når de begynner på skolen, og innholdet i barnehagehverdagen har betydning for skolestarternes erfaringsrikdom. Styringsdokumentene legger premisser for barns tilgang til slike erfaringer, og artikkelens problemstilling er: I hvilken grad legger planverket til rette for faglig progre-sjon mellom nærmiljø og samfunn i barnehagen og samfunnsfag på småskoletrinnet? Materialet er hentet fra Rammeplan for barnehagen (RP17) og Læreplan i samfunnsfag (LK20). For å sammenlikne så forskjellige plandokumenter har jeg utviklet et analyse-verktøy med utgangspunkt…

The exchange rates – indicators for assessing the financial performance of the companies from Romania
2016
Abstract The research aims to determine the financial performance of the companies listed and traded on the Bucharest Stock Exchange from the manufacturing sector in Romania, compared with the performance recorded by the Bucharest Stock Exchange, based on the exchange rates. It was concluded that the financial performance of the companies included in the research, quantified on the basis of the exchange rates, decreased significantly with the arrival of the financial and economic crisis, currently, the companies being unable to reach the level of performance recorded before the crisis.
The price of improvements: agrarian contracts and agrarian development in nineteenth-century eastern Spain1
2011
Fixed-rent contracts do not free landlords from the need to supervise the land if it is of high value and fragile fertility, nor do they free them from the costs of monitoring farmers if they are poor peasants prone to fall into arrears. In such cases, however, compensation for improvements will encourage tenants to farm with care and act as a bond against non-payment of rent. This article studies the repercussions of these kinds of situations by analysing what happened in nineteenth-century Valencia, where being the owners of the improvements led to tenants eventually becoming the owners of the land.
Surviving task interruptions: Investigating the implications of long-term working memory theory
2006
Typically, we have several tasks at hand, some of which are in interrupted state while others are being carried out. Most of the time, such interruptions are not disruptive to task performance. Based on the theory of Long-Term Working Memory (LTWM; Ericsson, K.A., Kintsch, W., 1995. Long-term working memory. Psychological Review, 102, 211-245), we posit that unless there are enough mental skills and resources to encode task representations to retrieval structures in long-term memory, the resulting memory traces will not enable reinstating the information, which can lead to memory losses. However, once encoded to LTWM, they are virtually safeguarded. Implications of the theory were tested in…
Video-Based Heartbeat Rate Measuring Method Using Ballistocardiography
2017
International audience; Video-based heartbeat rate measurement is a rapidly growing application in remote health monitoring. Video-based heartbeat rate measuring methods operate mainly by estimating photoplethysmography or ballistocardiography signals. These methods operate by estimating the microscopic color change in the face or by estimating the microscopic rigid motion of the head/facial skin. However, the robustness to motion artifacts caused by illumination variance and motion variance of the subject poses main challenge. We present a video-based heartbeat rate measuring framework to overcome these problems by using the principle of ballistocardiography. In this paper, we proposed a b…
On the relations between audio features and room acoustic parameters of auralizations
2013
The usual parameters in room acoustics are used to quantify the acoustic characteristics of rooms and their relation to the subjective perception of transmitted signals. Audio features (calculated with MIRToolbox) have been designed to study the relationships between the characteristics of musical audio files and their subjective perception. Both musical characteristics and acoustic parameters are oriented towards acoustic perception. By using auralizations with calibrated models of auditoriums and tools from the MIRtoolbox it is possible to jointly work with the calculation of audio features and room parameters. In this work, the statistical correlations between C80, STI, D50, EDT, RT and …
Wine label design as a strategic tool to attract consumers. A marketing study on Sicilian wine positioning
2013
Negli ultimi anni il packaging e stato considerato dalle aziende vinicole uno tra i piu importanti strumenti del marketing. Infatti, grazie all’utilizzazione di immagini e testi, e possibile comunicare chiaramente al mercato messaggi coerenti con i prodotti, con i valori dell’azienda e con i target di consumatori di riferimento. In questo studio si e voluto conoscere quanto le etichette siano importanti per le cantine siciliane nelle scelte di posizionamento dei loro vini. Si e voluta, inoltre, misurare l’influenza che le etichette esercitano sui consumatori, indirizzando ed orientando le preferenze al momento dell’acquisto di un vino, senza tralasciare l’eventuale effetto attrattivo causat…
La reivindicació identitària en els narradors del Realisme Compromès de la postguerra
2017
The paper reviews the realistic and engagé movements that cover the European postwar years. And then it studies the parallel Catalan movement focusing on the problem of identity assertion in the narrative. In many of our narrators of this realism of complaint (Concepció G. Maluquer, Estanislau Torres, Víctor Mora and Joaquim Carbó) national commitment accompanyies social and political commitment. It is a peculiar trait that distinguishes our movement and gives the physiognomy of its own.
