Professional vision in the classroom: Teachers’ knowledge-based reasoning explaining their visual focus of attention to students
2023
This study investigated Grade 2 teachers' (N = 50) professional vision through eye-tracking methodology and retrospective think-aloud interviews. The study examined the extent to which teachers' knowledge-based reasoning explains their visual focus of attention to whole class and individual students. We found that teachers' descriptions of students' social relations and emotions associated positively with teachers' visual focus of attention to the whole class. Teachers' descriptions of teacher-related information/elaboration and pedagogy linked negatively with teachers' visual focus of attention to individual students. The findings suggest that teachers' visual focus of attention to student…
A review of methods to assess connectivity and dispersal between fish populations in the Mediterranean Sea
2013
Fish populations are linked to each other via dispersal of individuals as eggs, larvae, juveniles or adults. The understanding of this process, known as connectivity, has a pivotal role for the management of overexploited fish stocks and the development of accurate conservation strategies. Knowledge on connectivity and fish movements is considered fundamental toward the correct design of marine protected area (MPA) networks for the achievement of the benefits of protection. Connectivity patterns are still largely unknown worldwide. A general lack of knowledge is particularly evident for the Mediterranean Sea where few studies dealing with this topic have been carried out and some methods, c…
"Ludzka krotochwila" na scenie teatru świata w twórczości Mikołaja Reja i Marcina Bielskiego
2019
Artykuł jest próbą interpretacji dzieł Mikołaja Reja i Marcina Bielskiego w kategoriach encyklopedycznego teatru. Taka konstrukcja stanowi odwzorowanie obrazu ówczesnego świata. Można mówić o zgodności między uczonymi treściami a wielką machiną theatrum mundi, którego struktury, relacje i zakres sprawnie funkcjonują w zamkniętym dyskursie literackich utworów. „Krotochwila ludzka” staje się więc miejscem zmagań człowieka z własnymi słabościami i losem. Staropolscy pisarze, aby zilustrować tę walkę, posłużyli się popularnym w renesansie mitem o bogini Kirke i jej ofiarach zamienionych w zwierzęta. Maski faunistyczne stanowiły znakomite alegorie występków ludzkich, chociaż mogły również przeds…
Agri-Food Markets towards Sustainable Patterns
2020
In recent decades, the confluence of different global and domestic drivers has led to progressive and unpredictable changes in the functioning and structure of agri-food markets worldwide. Given the unsustainability of the current agri-food production, processing, distribution and consumption patterns, and the inadequate governance of the whole food system, the transition to sustainable agriculture and food systems has become crucial to effectively manage a global agri-food market able in supporting expected population growth and ensuring universal access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food for all. Based on a critical review of the existing international literature, the paper seeks to…
Tiešsaistes Viktorīnas 6. Klases Skolēnu Gramatikas Zināšanu Pārbaudei Angļu Valodas Stundās
2020
Cilvēkam, lai spētu saprast kā runāt, lasīt, rakstīt un lasīt konkrētā svešvalodā, ir noderīgi zināt gramatiku un tās likumus. Diplomdarba autore pieredzēja, ka 6. klases skolēni spēja komunicēt, bet viņiem trūka gramatikas zināšanu. Tā kā pašlaik skolotāji izmanto dažādus interneta rīkus skolēnu zināšanu novērtēšanai, diplomdarba mērķis bija izpētīt, kā tiešsaistes viktorīnas varētu lietot, lai novērtētu 6. klases skolēnu angļu valodas gramatikas zināšanas. Mērķa sasniegšanai autore izmantoja gadījuma metodi. Pētījuma izlasē bija 48 skolēni no trim 6. klašu paralēlklasēm un viena angļu valodas skolotāja kādā no Rīgas sākumskolām. Autore intervēja vienu angļu valodas skolotāju un veidoja pē…
An Information Systems Design Product Theory for Software Project Estimation and Measurement Systems
2009
There is relatively little research on software Project Estimation and Measurement Systems (PEMS). Commercial PEMS vary in functionality and effectiveness. Their intended users thus do not know what to expect from PEMS and how to evaluate them. This paper creates an information system design product theory for the class of PEMS that prescribes the meta-requirements, the meta-design, and applicable theories for all products within the class. Meta-requirements and the meta-design are derived from the project estimation and measurement literature, experiences obtained during more than ten years of empirical work in Finnish Software Measurement Association, and a commercially available PEMS.
Some results on generalized coherence of conditional probability bounds
2003
Based on the coherence principle of de Finetti and a related notion of generalized coherence (g-coherence), we adopt a probabilistic approach to uncertainty based on conditional probability bounds. Our notion of g-coherence is equivalent to the 'avoiding uniform loss' property for lower and upper probabilities (a la Walley). Moreover, given a g-coherent imprecise assessment by our algorithms we can correct it obtaining the associated coherent assessment (in the sense of Walley and Williams). As is well known, the problems of checking g-coherence and propagating tight g-coherent intervals are NP and FP^NP complete, respectively, and thus NP-hard. Two notions which may be helpful to reduce co…
Taming big knowledge evolution
2016
Information and its derived knowledge are not static. Instead, information is changing over time and our understanding of it evolves with our ability and willingness to consume the information. When compared to humans, current computer systems seem very limited in their ability to really understand the meaning of things. On the other hand, they are very powerful when it comes down to performing exact computations. One aspect which sets humans apart from machines when trying to understand the world is that we will often make mistakes, forget information, or choose what to focus on. To put this in another perspective, it seems like humans can behave somehow more randomly and still outperform …
The societal contexts for sound and music computing: Research, education, industry, and socio-culture
2007
Abstract The paper addresses the various contexts that determine the societal framework for research in the field of sound and music computing. Four of these contexts are identified, namely, the research context, the educational context, the industrial context and the socio-cultural context. For each context, the major trends are analysed and summarized as short statements, thus providing a background in which the state-of-the-art and the challenges of sound and music research can be situated.
