Reducing disruptive behaviours and improving classroom behavioural climate with class-wide positive behaviour support in middle schools

2017

Disruptive behaviour in classrooms is a significant challenge for learning in schools and a risk factor for students’ academic achievement and a significant source of teachers’ work-related stress. Earlier research shows that clear behavioural expectations, monitoring students’ adherence to them and behaviour-specific praise are effective practices to reduce disruptive behaviour. Although behaviour problems are common in middle schools, most of the interventions have been developed and studied in elementary schools. This randomised study evaluated the effects of a class-wide intervention on classroom behavioural climate and disruptive behaviour, on teacher-experienced stress and on the time…

Pedro Sánchez Ciruelo. A Commentary on Sacrobosco’s Tractatus de sphaera with a Defense of Astrology

2020

AbstractThis paper focuses on the figure of the Spanish scholar Pedro Sánchez Ciruelo (ca. 1470–1548), who published a commentary on Johannes de Sacrobosco’s Sphaera in 1498. The aim of this study is to analyze the defense of astrology that Ciruelo prepared for the preface of his commentary in order to show that this praise of astrology represents a significant part of the scholar’s intellectual interests, which remained constant throughout his career. It is possible to get a richer understanding of Ciruelo’s defenses of astrology in several of his works by placing them in their own specific context: the first one in the context of the prohibition of Simon de Phares’s activities in Paris in…

Reducing disruptive behaviours and improving learning climates with class-wide positive behaviour support in middle schools

2014

Disruptive behaviours in classrooms pose a significant challenge for learning in schools and are, at the same time, a risk factor for students’ academic achievement and a major source for work-related stress among teachers. Earlier research suggests that clarifying the classroom rules and behavioural expectations, monitoring students’ adherence to them and using behaviour-specific praise are simple and effective practices to reduce disruptive behaviour. Most of the interventions have been developed for elementary schools, although behaviour problems tend to be more common in middle schools. This two-month pilot study using a pre–post design evaluated the effects of a class-wide intervention…

Criminal systematic and limits of Proposals Functionalists ( Weightings About Warranties , Citizenship and Human Rights )

2016

Make a critique of functionalism means looking at the history of the construction of the penal systems. It is observed that the rigor of analysis is something that is imposed when we have a system as a tool work. It is essential for that what now arises in legal and criminal terms sees as the study of criminal law should be increasingly precise and also closer to the idea of human dignity. It will also be built a criticism for the two doctrines that have changed the face of the first systematic, designed in the nineteenth, which will allow us to see more accurately what can, or even should, be changed. One cannot help but praise the normativism, especially what received the indelible streng…

Rewarding ageing employees—means used in the public sector

2005

Abstract Finland along with the rest of Europe will face considerable challenges in the next five to ten years due to changing age structures. The large number of ageing and aged employees, the baby-boomers, as well as the remarkably low birth rates that have occurred ever since the beginning of the 1980s, have led to a social phenomenon never experienced before. These changes should be considered when designing and implementing human resource strategies in organisations and institutions. This study considers the rewarding of ageing employees as a function of human resource management, and moreover rewarding is considered as an important function of age management. The purpose of this study…

Orgoglio poetico e lode della patria nelle epistole di Girolamo Muzio al nipote Maurizio

2020

L’Egida, poema in endecasillabi sciolti composto da Girolamo Muzio fra il 1570 e il 1572 e pervenutoci incompleto, celebra le antiche vicende della terra d’Istria e, in particolare, della città di Capodistria (anticamente denominata Egida). Muzio difende il suo poema in alcune lettere indirizzate al nipote Maurizio nel 1575, nelle quali controbatte punto per punto le riserve sul poema formulate dai letterati di Capodistria. Quest’intervento si propone di rileggere tali epistole di Muzio, con lo scopo di evidenziare, in esse, l’orgoglio poetico professato chiaramente dallo scrittore e il suo attaccamento alla terra d’elezione, da lui sempre lodata ed esaltata. Queste epistole, inoltre, sono …

Non tamen indignum Borgaei dicere laudes/ Caesaris? (T. Strozzi, Serm. 1, 120-1) : L?éloge épique de César Borgia dans l??uvre d?Ercole Strozzi (Ferr…

2017

Resume: La poesie hexametrique d’E. Strozzi, poete neolatin fort prise pour sa maitrise de la versification et son innutrition achevee des sources latines, offre deux apologies de Cesar Borgia. L’une, breve (d’une soixantaine de vers), incluse dans un epyllion cynegetique de plus de 900 vers, campe le Valentinois de son vivant en chasseur et conquerant magnanime. L’autre prend la forme d’un long epicede (492 v.). Certes E. Strozzi applique dans ce poeme funebre epidictique les conventions du genre (lamentations, eloge du defunt, exhortation et consolation a la dedicataire, Lucrece Borgia, duchesse de Ferrare), toutefois le choix de l’hexametre et le recours systematique aux procedes et aux …

Praising through Intertext. On Jakob Liefer’s Literary Technique in the Neo-Latin Epic Bellum Sundense

2019

Praising through Intertext. On Jakob Liefer’s Literary Technique in the Neo‑Latin Epic Bellum SundenseThis paper examines Jakob Liefer’s (1571‑1655) method of composing a carmen novo modo, that is a combination of laus urbis, epic, and cento. It demonstrates how Liefer systematically employs allusions and citations to turn his account of the historic Margrave War (1308‑1317) into a praise of the city of Stralsund and its inhabitants. The analysis focuses on the work’s intertextual engagement with the characters and settings of Lucan’s Pharsalia and Vergil’s Aeneid. Liefer not only borrows from canonical texts to put Stralsund on the same exalted level as Massilia and Troy respectively, but …
