Negociando el currículum en educación física. Una propuesta práctica de cogestión (Negotiating the curriculum in physical education. A practical prop…
2015
Este artículo tiene como finalidad describir críticamente el proceso de negociación del currículum en Educación Física en las etapas de secundaria y bachillerato, poniendo encima de la mesa los problemas que pueden surgir y aportando algunas soluciones para difundir su uso y aumentar de este modo la participación del alumnado en los procesos educativos. Esta propuesta está fundamentada en los resultados obtenidos en un estudio de casos en que participaron dos centros públicos de la Comunidad Valenciana: a) un grupo de 3º de secundaria con 17 alumnos y b), en una segunda fase, un grupo de 1º de bachillerato con 19 alumnos. El estudio, en que participaron los dos profesores de Educación Físic…
Commentary on the MID3 Good Practices Paper
2017
During the last 10 years the European Medicines Agency (EMA) organized a number of workshops on modeling and simulation, working towards greater integration of modeling and simulation (M&S) in the development and regulatory assessment of medicines. In the 2011 EMA - European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) Workshop on Modelling and Simulation, European regulators agreed to the necessity to build expertise to be able to review M&S data provided by companies in their dossier. This led to the establishment of the EMA Modelling and Simulation Working Group (MSWG). Also, there was agreement reached on the need for harmonization on good M&S practices and for conti…
Analysing the conceptions on modelling of engineering undergraduate students: A case study using cluster analysis
2016
The problem of taking a set of data and separating it into subgroups where the elements of each subgroup are more similar to each other than they are to elements not in the subgroup has been extensively studied through the statistical method of Cluster Analysis . This method can be conveniently used to separate students into groups that can be recognized and characterized by common traits in their answers, without any prior knowledge of what form those groups would take (unsupervised classification). In the last years many studies examined the consistency of students’ answers in a variety of situations. Some of these papers have tried to develop more detailed models of the consistency of st…
E-negotiator based on buyer's surfing pattern
2017
Everyone likes to get the best price, but best price cannot be provided to everyone. This paper proposes an algorithm to provide the best price to the most prospective buyer. E-Negotiation will be based on buyer's activity pattern and surfing behavior. Unlike existing e-negotiation models proposed for B2C, B2B and C2C Ecommerce applications, where the intervention of buyer is present, this paper proposes a system to e-negotiate by just observing buyer's surfing pattern, without depending on his input. Surfing patterns such as sites visited and products surfed will tell the buyer's intention on purchasing the product. The amount of discount for negotiation is generated using a Fuzzy Inferenc…
Can business model innovation help SMEs in the food and beverage industry to respond to crises? Findings from a Swiss brewery during COVID-19
2021
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to show how different business model innovations (BMIs) help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the food and beverage industry to navigate turbulent and uncertain environments such as the coronavirus economic crisis (COVID-19).Design/methodology/approachThe paper adopts an in-depth case study approach and uses a dynamic business modeling (DBM) approach to analyze how a pioneer craft brewery in Switzerland implemented innovative actions undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic.FindingsThe paper offers a novel framework describing three processes helping SMEs to implement innovations in their business model (BM) to respond in an effective way to cr…
What is socio-ecological research delivering? A literature survey across 25 international LTSER platforms
2018
[Departement_IRSTEA]Eaux [TR1_IRSTEA]QUASARE [ADD1_IRSTEA]Systèmes aquatiques soumis à des pressions multiples; International audience; With an overarching goal of addressing global and regional sustainability challenges, Long Term Socio-Ecological Research Platforms (LTSER) aim to conduct place-based research, to collect and synthesize both environmental and socio-economic data, and to involve a broader stakeholder pool to set the research agenda. To date there have been few studies examining the output from LTSER platforms. In this study we enquire if the socio-ecological research from 25 self-selected LTSER platforms of the International Long-Term Ecological Research (ILTER) network has …
Researching a Capacity Model for Multilane Roundabouts with Negotiation of the Right-of-Way between Antagonist Traffic Flows
2012
This article summarizes a research program designed to assess operating conditions through capacity estimation at not-conventional roundabouts characterized by a central island with a large diameter and by two (or more) entering and circulating lanes. Although giving priority to vehicles on circulatory roadway is the nominal operating rule, on-field observations highlighted that in some infrastructural schemes of the type considered in this research drivers negotiate the right-of-way according to a consensus pattern that alternates between antagonist traffic flows, similarly to that observed at all-way-stop-controlled intersections. Considering the peculiarity of the way of working at round…
Planning Research ‘with’ Minorities in Palermo: Negotiating Ethics and Commitments in a Participatory Process
2008
The paper will explore some ethical issues which arise when undertaking research with minorities (ethnic groups, children, poor people) in the context of an uncollaborative planning process, like the Palermo Local Agenda 21. There are important ethical issues that have to be carefully considered when undertaking research with people, particularly when these people are marginalised or excluded by wider society. Here, issues of powerlessness and vulnerability abound. If this is accepted, some questions arise. How are we supposed to consider planning researchers – understood as immersed in the policy process – as moral/political agents, given their political commitments? Here there are both ge…
What explains the resilience of SMEs? Ambidexterity capability and strategic consistency
2020
Abstract The ability to be resilient, to recover and bounce back when confronted with a threatening and stressful external event, such as the most recent global economic crisis, is an important issue for strategic management research, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Research studies on firm level antecedents of resilience offer contradictory propositions, some of which stress the need for experimentation, while others suggest focusing on reliability. To disentangle this controversy and face this gap, our study proposes that for SMEs to achieve resilience, it is necessary that these companies are able to efficiently respond to the changing environments through amb…
Negotiations with a risk assessment tool: Standardized decision-making in the United States and the deprofessionalization thesis
2017
AbstractThis article focuses on the challenges of decision-making in child protection. Comparative studies show that standardized risk assessment tools predict future maltreatment more accurately than interpretative assessment. Despite a long tradition of research on statistical decision-making, few studies deal with how such instruments are used and integrated into professional decision-making practice, and – from a transnational perspective – how specific national regulations influence such instruments and decision-making at street level. The article discusses concerns about the fact that such classification systems might have a negative impact on professional discretion. Based on a mater…
