A case study of a British ERASMUS student in Italy

2013

This article focuses on the shaping of social identities and emotions of one British young woman who spent a Year Abroad (YA) in Italy as an ERASMUS student. I have examined her negotiation and (re)construction of social identities during her experience abroad from a poststructuralist perspective, which sees individuals’ identities as dynamic and changeable sites of struggles (Norton Pierce, 1995 and 2000). In order to analyse the participant's accounts of her language learning and emotional experiences during her YA I have used the notion of emotional investment developed by Pavlenko (2012). This notion has helped me to understand how, why and to what extent the participant in the study ga…

Er e-læring riktig kurs? : hva mener de ansatte?

2017

Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Background E-learning has become an important part of the training of employees in health organizations. Successful e-learning requires, co-operation, good interaction between educational tools, organizational culture and technology. An important precondition for achieving this good interaction is to focus on the education and organization and not so much on the technology itself. This study aims to find out what employees think and believe about e-learning. The following question is the basis for this study: «How do employees at Sørlandet Hospital HF evaluate e-learning courses, and are they likely to be positi…

Work-based Learning – Challenge for Competitive Vocational Education Experience of Latvia

2021

Work-based learning is implemented in Latvia and there are many aspects to be investigated as work-based learning require several stakeholder mutual co-operation by vocational education institutions, by teaching staff at vocational education institutions, companies, as well as different employers’ organisations in the situation of demographic changes by reducing of numbers of young people. Aim of research – investigate different approaches in realisation of work-based learning in seeking innovative approaches and findings in countries with bigger experience in realisation of this kind of vocational education. Research methods applied: analysis of experience and findings reflected in scienti…

Yhteisövoimainen oppimisprosessi : substantiivinen teoria aikuisten ryhmässä oppimisen kokemuksista

2018

The aim of this study was to build a conception as well as a substantive theory of adult learners’ group learning. The framework for this study is andragogy, which places the life context of adult learners at the center of the learning process (Knowles 1990). This study has been carried out using grounded theory as a research methodology. Hermeneutics offers a broad scientific paradigm for the understanding of group learning as a phenomenon, whereas grounded theory offers a concrete tool for analyzing data and developing a substantive theory. In this approach, the theory emerges gradually in open interaction between a researcher and the data (Glaser 1992). The informants for this study were…

Generalization Capacity Analysis of Non- Intrusive Load Monitoring using Deep Learning

2020

Appliance Load Monitoring is a technique used to monitor devices existing in homes, industry or naval vessels. Acquisition of device-level data can provide great benefits in many areas such as energy management, demand response, and load forecasting. However, the monitoring process is often provided with a costly installation, as it requires a large number of sensors and a data center. Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) is an alternative and cost-efficient load monitoring solution. Simply put, NILM is the process of obtaining device-level data by analyzing the aggregated data read from the main meter that measures the electricity consumption of the whole house. Before NILM analysis is per…

Classification of Solutions to the Minimum Energy Problem in One Dimensional Sensor Networks

2016

We classify of the minimum energy problem in one dimensional wireless sensor networks for the data transmission cost matrix which is a power function of the distance between transmitter and receiver with any real exponent. We show, how these solutions can be utilized to solve the minimum energy problem for the data transmission cost matrix which is a linear combination of two power functions. We define the minimum energy problem in terms of the sensors signal power, transmission time and capacities of transmission channels. We prove, that for the point-to-point data transmission method utilized by the sensors in the physical layer, when the transmitter adjust the power of its radio signal t…

MODELLING, OPTIMIZATION, AND 3E-ANALYSIS OF DISH-STIRLING CONCENTRATING SOLAR POWER SYSTEMS

2022

raggiungimento degli obiettivi del precedente Accordo di Parigi, tutti i Paesi sono stati invitati a impegnarsi a garantire l'azzeramento globale entro la metà del secolo e a mantenere l'aumento della temperatura media globale significativamente al di sotto dei 2 °C, rispetto ai livelli preindustriali, entro il 2050, e più precisamente entro il limite superiore di 1,5 °C. Tutti i Paesi stanno concentrando le loro politiche su una transizione energetica globale che consiste nell'aumento dell'uso di fonti rinnovabili per la generazione di elettricità e nell'uso diretto di calore e biomassa rinnovabili, nell'uso diretto di elettricità pulita nei trasporti e nelle applicazioni termiche, nel mig…

Strategy training in ESP acquisition processes: some criteria

1996

Este trabajo debate y propone cuáles son los criterios necesarios para establecer un programa de entrenamiento de aprendices de una lengua extranjera (inglés) según los supuestos de las estrategias de aprendizaje como área de estudio, dentro del campo de la adquisición de lenguas extranjeras y segundas lenguas. This work discusses and proposes which are the minimal necessary criteria to establish a training program for learners of a foreign language (English) following the principles of learning strategies as a field of study within the wider field of foreign and second language acquisition.

Valodas mācīšanās paņēmieni sākumskolas skolēniem ar dažādiem mācīšanās traucējumiem angļu valodas mācīšanās veicināšanai

2020

Diplomdarba pētījums tika veikts, lai labāk izprastu iekļaujošās izglītības idejas praktisko pielietojumu situācijās, kad angļu valodas skolotājam jāstrādā arī ar skolēniem, kuriem ir mācīšanās traucējumu pazīmes. Diplomdarba mērķis bija noskaidrot, kādi valodas mācīšanās paņēmieni var palīdzēt sākumskolas skolēniem ar dažādiem mācīšanās traucējumiem angļu valodas mācīšanās veicināšanai. Par pētījuma metodi tika izvēlēts gadījuma pētījums. Respondentu izlasē tika iekļauti 15 angļu valodas skolotāji no dažādām vispārizglītojošajām skolām un 14 sākumskolas posma skolēni vecumā no 7 līdz 9 gadiem vienā no Rīgas privātajām vidusskolām. Kā datu ieguves metode skolotāju viedokļa noskaidrošanai ti…
