How prior knowledge, learning, teaching and assessment affect students’ achievements in Mathematics
2020
El objeto de este estudio es investigar la influencia del conocimiento previo del alumnado, el enfoque de aprendizaje integral, la enseñanza basada en problemas y el impacto de la evaluación en el aprendizaje básico del estudiante de matemáticas a nivel universitario. La investigación plantea un diseño de investigación cuasi experimental y un cuestionario estructurado. En él participaron dos grupos experimentales y dos grupos de control. Los resultados muestran que existe una correlación no significativa entre el conocimiento previo y la habilidad de aprendizaje básico; también plantea que un enfoque de aprendizaje integral se correlaciona positivamente con el conocimiento previo, mientras …
La colaboración científica en el campo de las ciencias de la actividad física y el deporte en España
2010
Este estudio examina la colaboración científica a través de los patrones de coautoría en una muestra de revistas españolas de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte (CCAFD). También analiza los principales grupos de investigación y disciplinas del campo multidisciplinar de las CCAFD. Se analizaron la frecuencia y porcentaje de los artículos en colaboración y el número de autores por artículo. Se revisaron las redes de colaboración de los autores más productivos para identificar grupos de investigación y se calculó la densidad para conocer su cohesión. La producción científica fue analizada también por disciplinas. Los artículos en colaboración superan a los artículos de autor único en…
Exploring the Coherence of Student Reasoning when Responding to Questionnaires on Thermally Activated Phenomena
2021
Many research results show that students often highlight “mixed-type” reasoning when tackling problematic situations and problems. This reasoning is based on the simultaneous use of common-sense and mere descriptions of facts, perceived as sufficient to build an “explanation” of observed or proposed situations and problems. This fact can be interpreted as a lack of coherence. In this paper, we study the coherence of responses that a sample of undergraduate chemical engineering student give when they are asked to face real-life situations, to create explanations, and to use models in different contexts. We administered open-ended questionnaires before and after a twenty-hour Inquiry-Based wo…
Sustainable Regeneration of Brownfields
2016
Our cities are really rich of building ensembles now deserted which were, in the recent past, sources of job and productivity for the community. They are generally inside the urban fabric or in the suburbs and they are often not particularly taken into consideration because they haven’t architectonic characteristics which could justify a restoration. Due to their big extension, the planning approach turns to be diffucult. Besides, these areas, if adequately restored, could become an important economic and cultural resource and a possibility of experimentation of new sustainable technologies. All this heritage requires a planning approach based on conservation and valorization of all the cul…
EXPORT PERFORMANCE AND ORGANISATIONAL MODELS: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS BASED ON THE RBV APPROACH
2016
Resource based view approach is proposed as theoretical framework in order to identify the existence of similar organizational models in a sample of firms operating in the Sicilian wine industry, and the key success factors for superior export success. The findings of this research show that managers’ age and wineries’ export experience in export success are the key organizational capabilities, that explain a firm’s strategic advantage over its competitors. The importance of these capabilities is further uncovered through the main characteristics of the clusters. The result informs strategy design at the firm level; wineries need to incorporate significant capabilities associated with manag…
Approccio metodologico nel restauro dei monumenti: le analisi tematiche come componenti essenziali del progetto
2010
Il restauro architettonico è caratterizzato da uno specifico percorso metodologico, che prevede l'esecuzione di analisi tematiche particolareggiate al fine di perfezionare i livelli di conoscenza dell'architettura-oggetto di ricerca. La tavola ne mostra alcuni esempi. The architectural restoration is characterized by a specific methodological approach, which includes the performance of detailed thematic analysis in order to improve the level of knowledge of architecture as an object of research. The table shows some examples.
Risk-benefit in food safety and nutrition - outcome of the 2019 Parma Summer School
2021
Risk-benefit assessment is the comparison of the risk of a situation to its related benefits, i.e. a comparison of scenarios estimating the overall health impact. The risk–benefit analysis paradigm mirrors the classical risk analysis one: risk–benefit assessment goes hand-in-hand with risk–benefit management and risk–benefit communication. The various health effects associated with food consumption, together with the increasing demand for advice on healthy and safe diets, have led to the development of different research disciplines in food safety and nutrition. In this sense, there is a clear need for a holistic approach, including and comparing all of the relevant health risks and benefit…

Evidence, and replication thereof, that molecular-genetic and environmental risks for psychosis impact through an affective pathway
2022
AbstractBackgroundThere is evidence that environmental and genetic risk factors for schizophrenia spectrum disorders are transdiagnostic and mediated in part through a generic pathway of affective dysregulation.MethodsWe analysed to what degree the impact of schizophrenia polygenic risk (PRS-SZ) and childhood adversity (CA) on psychosis outcomes was contingent on co-presence of affective dysregulation, defined as significant depressive symptoms, in (i) NEMESIS-2 (n = 6646), a representative general population sample, interviewed four times over nine years and (ii) EUGEI (n = 4068) a sample of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder, the siblings of these patients and controls.ResultsT…
A root cause analysis method for preventing erratic behavior in software development: PEBA
2019
Measures taken to prevent faults from being introduced or going undetected can secure development of highly reliable software systems. One such measure is analyzing root causes of recurring faults and preventing them from appearing again. Previous methods developed for this purpose have been reactive in nature and relied heavily on fault reporting mechanisms of ogranizations. Additionally, previous efforts lack a defined mechanism for innovating corrective actions. In this study, we strive to complement the existing methods by introducing a proactive and qualitative method that does not rely on fault data. During the course of the research, in addition to an extensive literature search, an …
