Social Constructionist and Social Engineer
2021
This chapter follows the times series of the previous chapter. It is not just the scale of the problem that distinguishes one stage from another but also the nature of the problem. When social entrepreneurs try to shift the context in an institutional approach, they have to face some issues previously described in the second part of the book. This case study exemplifies what these issues are, linked to the concept of legitimacy, and the strategies carried out by the social entrepreneur to overcome them.
Motivation and academic performance among first-graders : A person-oriented approach
2016
The present study applies a person-oriented approach to examine the motivational patterns children show on the basis of their reading- and math-related intrinsic value and self-concept of ability and how these patterns are related to their reading and math performance during the first grade of elementary school. The participants were 156 first grade children. The children were examined at the beginning and at the end of their first grade of elementary school. Five groups of children showing differing motivational patterns were identified using the ISOA procedure: Positive, Negative, Math-motivated, Reading-motivated, and Low interest but high belief. Children's motivational patterns were as…
Technique and results of the retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy via a lumbar approach
1998
Introduction: Since 1992, endoscopic techniques have been used increasingly in adrenal-gland surgery. In the present paper, the technique of the retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy via a lumbar approach is described. Methods: The patient is placed in a lateral decubitus position. In the first step, a dilatation trocar is introduced in the retroperitoneal space to create an artificial cavity. The dilatation trocar is replaced by a blocking trocar to close off the operating field. After insufflation of CO2, two additional trocars are introduced in the area of the conventional flank incision. Adrenalectomy is performed via these ports. Once the adrenal gland is completely mobilized, it is inser…
Uncertainty Assessment of a Water-Quality Model for Ephemeral Rivers Using GLUE Analysis
2011
Every model is, by definition, a simplification of the system under investigation. Although it would be desirable to reduce the gap between the simulated and the observed behaviors of the system to zero, this reduction is generally impossible owing to the unavoidable uncertainties inherent in any modeling procedure. Uncertainty analyses can provide useful insights into the best model approach to be used for obtaining results with a high level of significance and reliability. The evaluation of parameter uncertainties is necessary for calibration and for estimating the impact of these uncertainties on model performance. In this context, the uncertainty of a river water-quality model developed…
What are the ethical dimensions in the profession of intensive care specialist?
2017
International audience; Two essential components of the profession of a medical doctor are the constant review of the patient's therapeutic project, and collaboration between healthcare professionals. The profession of intensive care unit (ICU) physician goes further in terms of responsibility, vis-à-vis the intensive treatments dispensed to the patients, and the physician's responsibilities towards the patient's family and the caregiving team, also bearing in mind that ICU care is costly in terms of human and financial resources. In this review, we address the profession of ICU physician from the perspective of the ethical questions that arise constantly, focusing on the timeframe of the r…

Iegūtie rezultāti parāda starpkultūru faktorus, kas ietekmē patērētāju uzvedību interneta vidē un viņu uztveri par ietekmētāju mārketingu. Bakalaura darbs satur 36 figūras, 15 ta…
Pratiche di didattica interculturale: sinergia e integrazione di approcci qualitativi e quantitativi
2021
Durante il percorso di ricerca, che presentiamo come esempio di integrazione tra metodi quantitativi e qualitativi, abbiamo supportato 79 insegnanti (docenti tutor) nella progettazione di azioni di miglioramento rivolte a studenti stranieri ma, soprattutto, ai loro insegnanti (114 docenti di 33 scuole siciliane), mediante azioni di coaching mirate ad una diffusione di pratiche di didattica interculturale efficaci e innovative. Siamo partiti dal presupposto che non è possibile ipotizzare solo procedure di ricerca che semplifichino tale complessità (procedure presenti nelle ricerche di tipo quantitativo), e rendano difficile l’individuazione di diversi piani di lettura delle situazioni educat…
Beyond Social and Family Generations
2019
Here the theoretical foundations on which the arguments in the book are built are developed. The chapter begins by introducing the concept of generation as both a cohort-based and a family-based construction. A discussion then follows of how various forms of intergenerational solidarity and conflict shape the relationships between family generations. Particular attention is paid to the need for an approach that goes beyond any strict generational division and is more sensitive to the ways in which individual lives are interconnected through the use of digital technologies. To assist in this task, a post-Mannheimian approach to generational identity is outlined.
Adaptive semantic web based environment for web resources
2008
Tulevaisuuden kaikkialle ulottuvassa internetissä tietojärjestelmät kommunikoivat paitsi käyttäjien kanssa, myös toisten sovellusten ja instrumentoitujen laitteiden kanssa. Tämän dynaamisen ja heterogeenisen digitaalisen ympäristön hallinnoimiseksi ja hyödyntämiseksi käyttämiemme laitteiden tulisi olla nykyistä proaktiivisempia ja tiedon tulisi olla kuvattu nykyistä kontekstitietoisemmalla tavalla.Lisäksi tulevaisuuden verkon resurssit tulisi kyetä kuvaamaan semanttisesti, jotta eri resurssit voidaan löytää ja sovittaa yhteen automaattisesti. Tämä mahdollistaa myös päätelmien tekemisen järjestelmien tiedoista sekä monimutkaisen kokonaisuuden komponenttien käyttäytymisen ohjaamisen helpommin…
