Monotonicity and enclosure methods for the p-Laplace equation
2018
We show that the convex hull of a monotone perturbation of a homogeneous background conductivity in the $p$-conductivity equation is determined by knowledge of the nonlinear Dirichlet-Neumann operator. We give two independent proofs, one of which is based on the monotonicity method and the other on the enclosure method. Our results are constructive and require no jump or smoothness properties on the conductivity perturbation or its support.
Challenging gender relations in PE through cooperative learning and critical reflection
2018
Research continues to highlight how gender is reproduced through pedagogical practice in Physical Education (PE), but there has been much less focus on how it might be challenged. This paper report...
How common are inclusive educational practices among Finnish teachers?
2017
Several instructional strategies have been recommended for use in heterogeneous classrooms, but the frequency of their actual use has remained largely unknown. Therefore, an electronic survey was sent to Finnish comprehensive school teachers (N = 2276) in order to assess the prevalence of three selected inclusive strategies: co-teaching, group work, and differentiation. The results showed that co-teaching was used by 42% and group work by 43% of the teachers at least on a weekly basis, while differentiation was used regularly by 83% of teachers. The application of all strategies was strongly associated with teacher category, with subject teachers using them less frequently than classroom te…
Co-participatory multimodal intergenerational storytelling : preschool children’s relationship with modality creating elder inclusion
2021
The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted elderly people as a vulnerable and excluded community, and connecting to the younger social media generation requires a shift in intergenerational storytelling performance. Recent research on multimodality has emphasized its benefits for the interactional process in storytelling. This study examines three aspects of storytelling – participation, multimodality, and emotional interaction – and uses co-creation and multimodal discourse analysis to investigate two questions: (1) To what extent can intergenerational storytelling benefit older people’s community engagement? (2) In a globalized world, how do children’s relationships with modalities create new l…
Impact of a stay in the intensive care unit on the preparation of Advance Directives: Descriptive, exploratory, qualitative study.
2017
Abstract Background Our objective was to assess, through a qualitative, exploratory study, the thought processes of patients regarding the formulation of advance directives (AD) after a stay in the ICU. Methods The study was conducted from May to July 2016 using telephone interviews performed by four senior ICU physicians. Inclusion criteria were: patients discharged from ICU to home > 3 months earlier. Semi-directive interviews with patients focused on 5 main points surrounding AD. Results In total, among 159 eligible patients, data from 94 (59%) were available for analysis. Among all those interviewed, 83.5% had never heard of “advance directives”. Only 2% had executed AD before ICU admis…
Fatigue crack growth through particulate clusters in polycarbonate material
2011
The interaction of a crack with a perfectly bonded inclusion or a cluster of inclusions in polycarbonate matrix was investigated through both numerical simulations and fatigue tests. Stress intensity factors (K(I)) were evaluated by boundary element method for several particle sizes, position and finally for inclusion cluster as a precursor study for the experiments. The numerical simulation has shown the crack tendency to circumvent the inclusions with consequential reduction of the growth rate. Fatigue crack growth tests were carried out on several particle-filled specimens at constant value of the applied stress intensity factor range (Delta K(Iapp)) highlighting the crack delay due to t…
Process performance facing the inclusion of students with disabilities in the area of physical education (PAIADEF)
2013
El objetivo del presente estudio fue establecer el procedimiento de actuación del profesorado ante la detección de una necesidad educativa específica en el área de educación física. Para ello se diseñó una investigación basada en el método Delphi, concretamente de tres rondas, en el que intervinieron un primer grupo de 5 docentes universitarios con un elevado grado de conocimiento teórico sobre la inclusión de alumnado con discapacidad en el área de educación física, y un segundo grupo de 11 docentes con experiencia práctica en dicha área y con alumnado con discapacidad en el aula. Sus aportaciones permitieron concluir el estudio con el diseño definitivo del Procedimiento de actuación ante …
Los expósitos y su representación en “La Gazeta de Madrid”
2016
La existencia de diarios oficiales permite a los Estados informar de la actividad legislativa y administrativa. Diferentes estudios han utilizado estos boletines para analizar la información sociosanitaria de un momento histórico determinado. Nos planteamos como objetivo valorar la evolución de las referencias respecto a los expósitos y su relación con las nodrizas en la “Gazeta de Madrid”, permitiendo la categorización en función de los aspectos tratados. Se plantea la revisión y análisis de contenido de las 130 referencias aparecidas entre 1751 y 1926 que cumplían los criterios establecidos. Tras la lectura, transcripción, cumplimentación y categorización de la información recopilada se r…
¿Movilidad inclusiva o accesibilidad inclusiva?
2017
<p>“La movilidad inclusiva” es parte de las prioridades políticas definidas por numerosos países europeos para referirse a la dimensión social del transporte o las políticas de movilidad cotidiana. De forma general, la inclusión se refiere a la cohesión social, que ha sido uno de los objetivos declarados de la Unión Europea desde el inicio de los años 2000. Como mecanismo para facilitar el acceso a las oportunidades (empleo, comercio, servicios, etc.), la movilidad individual es actualmente considerada un prerrequisito necesario para la participación de las personas en las actividades sociales. En contraste, la inmovilidad o “ausencia de movilidad” sería un factor de exclusión social.…
Reversing the Trend: a Psychosocial Intervention on Young Immigrants in Sicily
2018
Intervention projects based on providing support for immigrants can offer a number of benefits with regard to the social inclusion of young immigrants. Therefore, the actions suggested in this proposal may not only create a network between institutions and the private sector capable of supporting the intervention of a host country, but may also help to reduce the risk of crime as well as advocating a sense of otherness and integration. The approach to the project, a psychosocial intervention carried out on four young Africans who reached Sicily after crossing the Sicilian Channel on a dilapidated boat, has chiefly been to provide the four individuals with the chance to revisit their origina…
