The extended Theory of Planned Behaviour and college grades: the role of cognition and past behaviour in the prediction of students’ academic intenti…
2014
Understanding the underlying processes influencing college students’ academic achievement represents an important goal of educational research. The aim of the present study was to examine the utility of the extended Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and the relative influence of cognitive processes and measures of past behaviour in the prediction of grade intentions and actual grades in the context of higher education. Our results show that perceived behavioural control (PBC), subjective norms (SN) and past grades emerged as significant predictors and were able to explain 41% of the variance in grade intentions, while the influence of cognitive processes (planning and future orientation) wa…
Reverse inheritance in statically typed object-oriented programming languages
2010
Reverse inheritance is a new class reuse mechanism, an experimental implementation of which we have built for Eiffel. It enables a more natural design approach, factorization of common features (members), insertion of classes into an existing hierarchy etc. Due to its reuse potential in Eiffel we consider exploring its capabilities in other industrial-strength programming languages like C++, Java and C#.
EFFECTS OF CUSTOMER KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND CUSTOMER ORIENTATION ON INNOVATION CAPACITY AND MARKETING RESULTS IN SMEs: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF INNOVAT…
2018
Managing customer knowledge is a key of source for SMEs. The principal aim of this paper is to provide empirical evidence on the direct effects of two specific strategic resources: customer orientation and customer knowledge management (CKM), on innovation capacity and marketing results in SMEs. The study also examines the role of innovation orientation as a mediator between customer orientation and CKM. For this purpose, a structural model was proposed and tested through an empirical investigation with variance-based structural equation modeling (PLS) using a sample made up of 210 Spanish SMEs. The findings highlight the relevance of CKM and customer orientation as important strategic res…
IRIDE: Interdisciplinary research infrastructure based on dual electron linacs and lasers
2014
This paper describes the scientific aims and potentials as well as the preliminary technical design of RUDE, an innovative tool for multi-disciplinary investigations in a wide field of scientific, technological and industrial applications. IRIDE will be a high intensity "particles factory", based on a combination of high duty cycle radio-frequency superconducting electron linacs and of high energy lasers. Conceived to provide unique research possibilities for particle physics, for condensed matter physics, chemistry and material science, for structural biology and industrial applications, IRIDE will open completely new research possibilities and advance our knowledge in many branches of sci…
The presence of the innovative factor in the agricultural producer in the Valencian Community. Tools to promote innovation in rural-urban dialectics
2021
[ES] Este estudio sociológico se centra en la figura del productor agrario valenciano y su comportamiento frente a la innovación.

Posteriormente, el estudio se centra en obtener un perfil tipo que represente al productor según sus características y las de su explotación, según su actitud innovadora y la orientación hacia factores influyentes,…
Creating a sustainable digital infrastructure: The role of service-oriented architecture
2021
Abstract The United Nations’ goal of generating sustainable industry, innovation, and infrastructure is the point of departure for our reflective paper. The paper elaborates on the concepts of digital infrastructure, service-oriented architecture, and microservices. It emphasizes the benefits and challenges of creating a sustainable infrastructure based on a service-oriented environment, in which cloud services constitute an important part. We outline the prerequisites for obtaining a sustainable digital infrastructure based on services. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) and recently, microservice architecture, and cloud services, can provide organizations with the improved agility and fl…

Uz darbību orientētā pieeja un pragmatikas teorijas svešvalodu mācīšanā: franču valodas piemērs
2015
Pētījuma temats ir svešvalodu didaktika un tā mērķis ir izvērtēt uz darbību orietētās-pragmatiskās pieejas efektivitāti skolas vidē. Pētījumā tiek noskaidrots, vai uz darbību orientētā-pragmatiskā pieeja var attīstīt skolēnu runas prasmes franču valodā un valodas izpratni. Pieeja sastāv no pragmatikas teoriju, komunikatīvās pieejas, un uz darbību orientētās pieejas elementiem. Pirmo divu nodaļu saturs sastāda pieejas teorētisko pamatu un trešajā nodaļā ir izklāstīta pētījuma empīriskā daļa, kurā ietilpst piezīmes par situāciju svešvalodas didaktikā un franču valodas kā svešvalodas mācīšanā Latvijā, uz darbību orientētās-pragmatiskās pieejas apskats, un pārskats par pieejas izmantošanas – sk…
Activation of the vocational and personal development (ADVP): an innovative educational orientation methodology.
2015
Progress in orientation educational practices in Italy has led to the emergence of several methods designed to help the development of personal and career aims. The several evaluations, which have been carried out, show that changes are first cognitive and specifically involve professional representations: experimental subjects used more descriptors and different descriptors to represent an occupation which interests them. These changes are also cognitive with participants stating that they have been involved in experiences and in activities, have sought information, etc. These initial results once again raise the question of instruments needing to be developed for such evaluation, that of …
