Viaggi nell’immaginario: il turismo virtuale nel sito UNESCO di Tarragona
2023
Le nuove tecnologie hanno trasformato in modo radicale non solo la geografia come disciplina, ma anche le geografie del mondo. Il digitale ha assunto, infatti, un ruolo di mediazione sempre più pervasivo nella produzione dello spazio, come delle conoscenze e degli immaginari geografici. Le possibilità offerte dal virtuale, in particolare, offrono oggi un contributo decisivo nella comunicazione dei significati attribuiti ai luoghi e rispondono in modo sempre più efficace ai bisogni emergenti del settore turistico. Le esperienze di visita mediate dal digitale mirano a coinvolgere i sensi e risultano efficaci quando promuovono immersioni rigorosamente realistiche. Nel quadro di queste riflessi…
RETRACTED: Optical bio(sensing) using nitrogen doped graphene quantum dots: Recent advances and future challenges
2018
Abstract The exceptional optical properties and the presence of high number of reactive sites make nitrogen doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) powerful tools in analytical nanoscience and nanotechnology. At the same time, their opto-electronics properties make them excellent nanomaterials for biomedical analysis aspects. This review aims to explore progress to date various features of N-GQDs for optical bio (sensing) of target analytes. Moreover, as another aim of this review is to provide insight into the intensity based spectroscopic methods which are applied in bio (sensing) discussing their advantages and disadvantages. More importantly, we discuss in detail different aspects of the a…

Learning opportunities in the outdoor school–empirical findings on outdoor school in Germany from the children’s perspective
2017
This article examines learning processes and learning opportunities in the outdoor school based on 13 focus-group interviews with children (ages 8–9) at three German elementary schools. For 1 year,...
Universal Design of ICT for Emergency Management
2018
The primary objectives of this article are to give a systematic overview of the current state of the emerging research field of Universal Design of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Emergency Management, and to highlight high-impact research opportunities to ensure that the increasing introduction of ICT in Emergency Management can contribute to removing barriers instead of adding more barriers, in particular for the elderly and people with disabilities. A systematic review on various literature with respect to Universal Design, ICT and Emergency Management between 2008 to 2018 was employed in this study, and reviewed systematically using a predefined framework. The ultimat…
Pathways to higher education for first and second generation immigrants in France, Switzerland and Canada: how educational tracks and aspirations mat…
2014
Despite their different histories as countries of immigration, Switzerland, France and Canada all have a sizeable immigrant population, some of which do experience obstacles in their educational and professional careers. However, both access rates of immigrant students as well as institutional routes to higher education vary remarkably between the three countries. On the one hand, France and Switzerland offer both academic and vocational routes to higher education, whereas academic routes prevail in Canada. On the other hand, immigrant students are underrepresented in Swiss and French higher education, while they generally seem to be much more successful in Canada. In this paper we wish to …
Qualidade docente e eficácia escolar
2008
Este texto visa a explorar uma faceta do funcionamento do sistema escolar que permite associar a implementação de políticas públicas, no caso, a distribuição dos professores pelas escolas e salas de aula, e à avaliação dos impactos dessa distribuição do ponto de vista da busca por maior igualdade de oportunidades. Para discutir essa questão, usaremos os dados de pesquisa realizada no Brasil, na Argentina, no Chile e no México, com informações de 96 escolas e professores, assim como de 2048 alunos de 4ª série que estudavam em escolas situadas em bairros pobres de Belo Horizonte, Buenos Aires, Santiago e Guanajuato. Inicialmente, discutimos alguns dos elementos das políticas educacionais lati…
Assessing land condition as a first step to achieving land degradation neutrality : A case study of the Republic of Srpska
2018
Abstract Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) is a key voluntary and aspirational target of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15 which urges countries to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss. A first and critical important step in the implementation of LDN is assessing the current land condition using not only active restoration of degraded land, but also targeting land degradation drivers behind the land degradation process. In a first step to achieve these goals, countries were provided a global dataset for three sub-indicators of land degra…
Twenty years of the International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes Science Schools programs: Assessment of their impact on the participa…
2022
Objective: The following report describes the evaluation of the ISPAD Science School for Physicians (ISSP) and for Healthcare Professionals (ISSHP) in terms of their efficiency and success. Methods: All past attendees from 2000–2019 ISSP and 2004–2019 ISSHP programs were invited to respond to an online survey to assess perceived outcomes of the programs on career development, scientific enhancement, scientific networking, and social opportunities. Results: One-third of the past ISSP (129/428), and approximately 43% of the past ISSHP attendees (105/245) responded to the surveys. Most of ISSP attendees reported that the programs supported their career (82%) by helping to achieve a research po…
COVID-19 y escuela a distancia: viejas y nuevas desigualdades
2021
El cierre de las escuelas como medida de emergencia a la situación generada por el COVID-19 ha generado retos sin precedentes para los sistemas educativos. En el caso español este cierre se desarrolla en un sistema profundamente desigual, lo que, entre otros aspectos, se expresa por unos índices de segregación escolar que se sitúan entre los más altos de Europa. El objetivo del artículo es analizar el impacto del confinamiento sobre las desigualdades educativas, poniendo un foco especifico en la expresión escolar de dichas desigualdades. Específicamente, se pretende explorar la diversidad de estrategias adoptadas por los centros educativos durante el primer período de confinamiento, anali…
