How football team composition constrains emergent individual and collective tactical behaviours: Effects of player roles in creating different landsc…
2021
The aim of the present study was to examine how team composition of players with different roles constrains individual and collective tactical behaviours, and ball possession effectiveness, during competitive 3 vs 3 small-sided and conditioned games (SSCGs) in youth soccer players. Fifteen male players (under 15 yrs, mean age 13.2 ± 1.03 years, mean years of practice: 4.2 ± 1.10 years) from the same club participated in this study. For analysis purposes, on advice from the coaching staff, participants were categorised according to their main team performance role, resulting in sub-samples of 5 defenders (centre-backs = 2 and full- backs = 3), 7 midfielders (central midfielders = 3 and wide…
The Use of Multimodal Resources by Technical Managers and Their Peers in Meetings Using English as the Business Lingua Franca
2020
Background: Engineers increasingly work and advance their careers in international business settings. As technical managers, they need management and technical skills when working with different stakeholders with whom they may not share a common first language. Studies have revealed that informal oral communication skills are of prime importance for global engineers who face challenges in building shared meaning and formulating clear messages in meetings with non-native speakers of English. This article proposes that studying the use of multimodal resources (spoken language, gaze, gestures, and objects) in meetings can unpack how work tasks are accomplished in business through different com…
SORVEGLIANZA DELLE COLONIZZAZIONI DA STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS METICILLINO-RESISTENTE E GRAM-NEGATIVI MULTI-RESISTENTI NELLE UNITA’ DI TERAPIA INTENSIVA …
2014
INTRODUZIONE: La diffusione della resistenza batterica, sia in ospedale che in comunità, costituisce un serio motivo di allarme. La disseminazione di microrganismi resistenti in ospedale, particolarmente accentuata in reparti critici quali le terapie intensive, è favorita oltre che dall’uso dei farmaci antimicrobici, da procedure chirurgiche e/o invasive, dalla presenza di pazienti compromessi e dal trasferimento da una struttura sanitaria ad un’altra di pazienti colonizzati o infetti. Una conoscenza dettagliata dell’entità del fenomeno e dei principali microrganismi antibiotico-resistenti in ambito nosocomiale è essenziale per lo sviluppo di strategie volte a prevenire tale fenomeno. In qu…
Terminoloģijas konsekvence ekonomikas tekstu tulkojumos
2021
Maģistra darba “Terminoloģijas konsekvence ekonomikas tekstu tulkojumos” mērķis ir novērtēt terminoloģijas konsekvenci 1990. gadu, 2000. gadu un 2010. gadu ekonomikas mācību grāmatu latviešu un krievu valodā korpusa ietvaros. Empīriskās izpētes rezultāti rāda, ka terminoloģijas konsekvence ekonomikas mācību grāmatās statistiski nozīmīgi palielinājās 2010. gados salīdzinājumā ar 1990. gadiem un 2000. gadiem. Pielietojot lingvistiskās diskursanalīzes metodoloģiju, kas ietver sevī gan kvantitatīvās, gan kvalitatīvās metodes, autore secināja, ka tulkošanas pētījumi spēj noteikt sociālās asimetrijas, pamatojoties uz lingvistiskajām asimetrijām. Ņemot vērā sociāli ekonomisko metamorfožu pieredzi …
ModeLTER : modelling of landscapes and territories over the long term, the members of an European Associated Laboratory (EAL) in CAENTI.
2006
International audience; The aim of this new project is the modelisation of landscapes and territories over the long term. This has been a topic that engaged the proposed research team for several years, particularly in the frame of two European projects, Archeomedes I & II, during the 1990s (Van der Leeuw S., Favory F., Fiches J.- L. (eds.) 2003, Favory F., Girardot J.-J., van der Leeuw S. 2004). Both French and Slovenian teams were involved in the project by Professors S. Van der Leeuw and Z. Stančič. Since this period, the collaboration of French and Slovenian researchers increased in activity, and it finds now a new organization in an European Associated Laboratory, linking archaeologist…
Challenges and Opportunities of English Grammar Acquisition by Distance at the Tertiary Level
2021
Distance learning introduced in almost all educational establishments in spring 2020 has raised interest among researchers how to deal with it in a more productive way. Thus, the goal of the research was to find out undergraduates’ views on distance learning of English grammar and the use of online revision materials in developing students’ independent study skills at a tertiary institution in Latvia. the research tool was a questionnaire consisting of open-ended and closed questions. Twenty-three students answered the survey questions. the research results indicate that studying by distance is preferred because it allows the students to choose the study time and place, to develop their tim…
Health literacy as a learning outcome in schools
2012
PurposeThe aim of this paper is to define health literacy as a learning outcome in schools, and to describe the learning conditions that are relevant for targeting health literacy.Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws on theoretical and empirical educational literature, and also the experiences of the authors.FindingsHealth literacy is defined as consisting of five core components: theoretical knowledge, practical knowledge, critical thinking, self‐awareness, and citizenship. The first three components are rather similar to the commonly‐accepted health literacy concept, but the definition given in this paper expands the concept via two additional – but essential – components. It is emp…

A Study on the Assessment of Introductory Computational Thinking via Scratch Programming in Primary Schools
2018
Computational thinking (CT), a transversal intellectual foundation integral to computer science, is making its way into compulsory comprehensive education worldwide. Students are expected to attain skills and knowledge in such interdisciplinary CT principles as Algorithmic thinking, Data representation, and Debugging. Problem-solving by designing and manipulating interactive media with Scratch, a graphical programming tool, is popular especially at the primary school level. However, there has been confusion regarding how introductory CT can be operationalized for educational practice. Teachers and students need research-based knowledge for setting appropriate learning goals in addition to i…
