Experimental investigation on the effectiveness of basalt-fibre strengthening systems for confining masonry elements
L’impiego di materiali compositi per il rinforzo di colonne in muratura è diventato una pratica ampiamente diffusa nel corso degli ultimi decenni. Questa tecnica, che consiste generalmente nell’applicazione di materiali polimerici fibrorinforzati (Fibre Reinforced Polymer-FRP), ha mostrato buone potenzialità, essendo in grado di garantire notevoli incrementi di resistenza e duttilità dell’elemento rinforzato, grazie ad un’azione di confinamento passivo. Tuttavia, l’impiego di compositi a matrice polimerica presenta alcuni limiti legati soprattutto alle prestazioni delle resine epossidiche, che a causa della loro natura sintetica danno luogo a problemi di compatibilità con il supporto murari…
Enriqueciendo la investigación en humanidades digitales. Análisis de textos de claustros académicos de la Universidad de Valencia (1775-1779) con KH …
2020
[ES] La aplicación de métodos automatizados en cualquier investigación ha facilitado el trasvase de metodologías de una disciplina a otra, permitiendo realizar análisis cuantitativos a textos con estructura o semiestructurados. El objeto de este trabajo es aplicar a un dataset en lenguaje natural -castellano del siglo XVIII- métodos de análisis de la disciplina de documentación. Pretende establecer una metodología automática de análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de textos, que permita enriquecer en el futuro las conclusiones procedentes del análisis histórico tradicional. Este estudio construye los procedimientos necesarios para poder aplicar análisis de frecuencia, extracción y clasificac…
Economical Models for Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems
2007
Dedicated manufacturing lines (DML), flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) and reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) are, nowadays, the three production paradigms representing three ways of thinking and implementing production systems. Nevertheless, very few researches aim at clearly defining the convenience of such three manufacturing paradigms with regards to the market and competition characteristics in which the company plans to play. This chapter goes toward such a direction; in particular, an investment model for each kind of manufacturing system (DML, FMS, RMS) is proposed; these models are able to consider several market and competition issues such as product demand dynamic over…
A Study Regarding the Use of Expert Systems in Economics Field
2013
Abstract Expert systems simulate the formal reasoning of human expert in a narrow field like stock trading. The traditional method is using IF-THEN rules. Nowadays, Belief Rule Base (BRB) expert systems are capable to perform reasoning based both qualitative and quantitative information. The paper presents a SWOT analysis of expert systems, emphasizing the opportunities the use of expert systems offers to economics field. Using expert systems in economics field provides strategic benefits like: competitive financial advantages, investment advisory, better organisation of workflow, back-up for key experts, training tool for new employees, diagnosis of critical aspects, prognosis of economic …
What Factors have an Influence on A Quality Teaching Practice in Sciences?
2012
Abstract This paper aims to know to what extent in-service teachers who have not participated in science teaching training courses neither have performed any research in this field develop a quality teaching practice and what factors have influenced to achieve it. Questionnaires and non-participating observation protocols about the classroom work have been used as well as semi-structured interviews with a sample of teachers to obtain data. These instruments try to characterize the teaching action and determine what factors and in which degrees have influenced the performance of a quality science teaching activity.
La Evaluación de Competencias en el marco de la implantación de los nuevos grados. La experiencia educativa del uso de la Técnica Póster
2016
Introduction. The European Higher Education Area requires implementing a teaching model centered on socio-constructivist principles of teaching and learning methodologies. Based on this, we analyze the effectiveness of the poster technique as a tool for learning and assessment of the acquisition of content and skills in the course of Psychology of Motivation and Emotion. Specifically, we evaluated the educational advantages offered by the preparation of a scientific poster for the acquisition of theoretical and practical content, and the development of cognitive, social and communicative skills. Methodology. 115 students on the 2nd Year University of Valencia Psychology Degree participated …
comunication strategies for the use of the ICT in teaching at secondary schools and VET
2015
In schools, the existence of good communication and the use of ICT is undoubtedly a factor of great weight for the integration of innovative teaching policies. A good communication ensures the dissemination of educational innovation processes adopted by the teachers and the coordination between centers. In this context, from an applied perspective, it is interesting to analyze the communication processes and their influence on the use of the ICT in teaching at secondary schools and vocational training centers in the Region of Murcia, Spain. This paper studies the influence of communication strategies on the success of the teaching innovation with ICT. The methodology is based on a survey de…
Spanish teachers' views of the goals of science education in secondary education
2002
The purpose of this work is to find out teachers' opinions regarding the goals and objectives of the teaching of science, within the frame of educational reform. We attempt to disclose to what extent educational thinking gives priority to the training of the students in scientific concepts, laws and theories needed in further courses (propedeutic training) and how this thinking pays less attention to the so-called scientific literacy which is meant to be the main object of the teaching of science according to the designers of the curriculum. To achieve this, we carried out a multiple and convergent experimental design with a number of samples of teachers. We found a confirmation that in sec…
Definición de las necesidades sociales para un nuevo desarrollo del sistema de Servicios Sociales de la Comunidad Valenciana, desde una metodología p…
2017
La falta de información sobre el Sistema de Servicios Sociales Valenciano es conocida por todas/os las personas que tienen relación con él, tanto desde la praxis profesional como docente. La finalidad de esta investigación era comenzar a recoger información sobre el sistema, que tuviera utilidad tanto académica como profesional. La crisis está haciendo desaparecer el sistema, pero al no existir datos previos, no se puede indicar con certeza qué estaba sucediendo, y por qué. Estas explicaciones e informaciones se debían obtener de quién las vive de primera mano; las y los profesionales. Se planteó la investigación con una metodología de IAP (investigación-acción participativa), pues se consi…
Constitució d'una comunitat social d'investigació amb persones majors des de la responsabilitat social universitària = Constitution of a Social Resea…
2012
Es presenta com s'ha constituït una comunitat social d'investigació (CSI) amb 48 persones majors institucionalitzades des de la responsabilitat social universitària (RSU) i des d'una perspectiva humanista. En aquesta CSI es va valorar el benestar psicològic de les persones institucionalitzades amb mètodes quantitatius i qualitatius, i amb una proposta d'investigació-acció participativa (IAP). S'inicia, així, un procés d'innovació epistemològica, amb escassos antecedents, a l'hora d'investigar i entendre el benestar de les persones majors. Aquesta primera experiència de la CSI aporta observacions sobre els canvis de les dimensions del benestar de Ryff durant el procés d'envelliment dins de l…
