Student beliefs (or metacognitive knowledge) about SLA reconsidered
1995
In applied linguistics, interest in student beliefs (or metacognitive knowledge) about second language acquisition (SLA) is fairly recent, growing out of the emphasis on learner autonomy and on learner strategies in SLA. The purpose of this paper is to review those few studies that have been published so far, to give an outline of definitions of beliefs and research methodology, and finally to provide alternatives to these, based on recent developments in the social sciences. With a reconsideration of beliefs come reconsiderations of research data and methods.
Perceived tiredness among adolescents and its association with sleep habits and use of psychoactive substances
1997
This study investigated the variation in perceived tiredness among 11, 13 and 15-year-old Finnish adolescents (n = 4187). Additionally interrelationships between sleep habits, use of psychoactive substances (alcohol, tobacco and coffee) and perceived tiredness among 15-year-olds were examined. This study is part of an international, WHO-coordinated survey of school children's health and lifestyle (the HBSC Study). In Finland, research data represented the whole country. The data were collected in March-May 1994. Pupils responded anonymously to a standardized questionnaire during a class period. Subjective tiredness was very common and increased with age among adolescents. Perceived tirednes…

Initial motivation and progress with doctoral studies in computer science — A case study from a Finnish university
2014
Success in doctoral education has been studied from many theoretical and practical perspectives, but very few studies focus specifically on student motivation. In practice, graduate schools usually try to evaluate applicants' motivation in the admission process, assuming they are able to identify the initial motivation that would predict a successful doctoral path. The aim of this study is to bring new understanding to this field by studying the relationship between the students' initial motivation in enrolling doctoral studies and their actual progress with the studies. This is a case study conducted in a Finnish research university with full-time doctoral students in computing. The resear…
The Mafia Boss Yesterday and Today: Psychological Characteristics and Research Data
2015
This article describes Cosa Nostra bosses’ psychological characteristics starting from research data collected over almost twenty years (1994–2013). Through the use of fragments of interviews to justice collaborators and their wives, children, and sisters-in-law, we analyze the boss’ role and relational context. This article also reports the results of a recent research on the relationship between boss and white-collar workers, carried out through the analysis of environmental tapping recorded at a famous Sicilian Mafia boss’ house: Giuseppe Guttadauro. This research highlights the psychological diversity the relationship between boss and white-collar worker is based on. The analysis of env…
Viaggi nell’immaginario: il turismo virtuale nel sito UNESCO di Tarragona
2023
Le nuove tecnologie hanno trasformato in modo radicale non solo la geografia come disciplina, ma anche le geografie del mondo. Il digitale ha assunto, infatti, un ruolo di mediazione sempre più pervasivo nella produzione dello spazio, come delle conoscenze e degli immaginari geografici. Le possibilità offerte dal virtuale, in particolare, offrono oggi un contributo decisivo nella comunicazione dei significati attribuiti ai luoghi e rispondono in modo sempre più efficace ai bisogni emergenti del settore turistico. Le esperienze di visita mediate dal digitale mirano a coinvolgere i sensi e risultano efficaci quando promuovono immersioni rigorosamente realistiche. Nel quadro di queste riflessi…
Mathematical Modelling of Leukemia Treatment
2021
Leukemia is a cancer that can be treated in a variety of ways: chemotherapy, radiation therapy and stem cell transplant. Recovery rates for this disease are relatively high, the treatment itself has a painful effect on the body and is accompanied by numerous side effects that can persist years after the patient is cured. For this reason, efforts are underway worldwide to develop more selective therapies that will only affect leukemia cells and not healthy cells. Knowledge of developmental GRN is yet scarce, and it is early for a systematic comparative effort. We consider mathematical model of genetic regulatory networks. This model consists of a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equ…
Datos abiertos de investigación. Camino recorrido y cuestiones pendientes
2017
[ES]: Los aspectos profesionales y técnicos de la gestión de datos de investigación han avanzado, por ejemplo las infraestructuras tecnológicas o los esquemas de metadatos de descripción. Sin embargo, otras cuestiones siguen necesitando ser investigadas, y más ahora en que los datos han de estar disponibles en abierto. Este trabajo efectúa una revisión bibliográfica y de sitios web de referencia que permite identificar los últimos avances producidos y las tendencias de investigación en temas relacionados con los datos científicos. La publicación de datos en revistas, el estudio del comportamiento de los autores o los métodos para medir el impacto de los datos son aspectos que necesitan ser …
