La metodologia della ricerca in didattica
2021
Il testo descrive le tipologie di ricerca in campo didattico; segnala le aree più rappresentate nel panorama italiano degli ultimi anni e gli ambiti ritenuti prioritari per i prossimi anni; indica una metodologia capace di migliorare la pratica educativa già durante lo svolgimento delle azioni di ricerca; fornisce dei suggerimenti per assicurare la qualità delle ricerche di Didattica indipendentemente dal metodo di indagine adoperato. Le argomentazioni svolte sono animate dalla profonda convinzione che non sia possibile fare ricerca in Didattica senza la collaborazione e il confronto dei ricercatori universitari con gli insegnanti e con gli educatori in generale. The text describes the type…
Indicadores compuestos como metodología innovadora en Comunicación. Aplicación para la evaluación de los medios públicos europeos
2020
The currently dominant scientific production model in the field of Communication exhibits an excess of standardization towards mainly empirical work that is overwhelming caried out using quantitative techniques based on simple statistical analyses, in many cases limiting the presentation of results to a reading of the available data. This article presents an innovative proposal in this area, designed as a new form of dissemination and scientific presentation, with the objective of constructing three composite indicators that, when applied to European public service media, will enable the assessment of the perception of their social value, independence, and management efficiency. Another aim…
Content Analysis as a Research Method: A Content Analysis of Content Analyses in Sport Communication
2021
Content analysis is a popular method in communication and media research. However, to what extent and in which contexts it is used in sport communication research has hardly been investigated. In order to provide empirically grounded insight, the authors conducted a quantitative content analysis of scholarly journal articles using content analysis as a research method, focusing on three major international sport communication journals during the 10 years between 2010 and 2019 (N = 267). Results indicate that qualitative and quantitative methods are used equally while combinations with other methods are comparatively rare. The studies cover a broad portfolio of different topics. Social media…
Application of deep convolutional neural networks for the detection of anthracnose in olives using VIS/NIR hyperspectral images
2021
Anthracnose is one of the primary diseases that affect olive production before and after harvest, causing severe damage and economic losses. The objective of this work is to detect this disease in the early stages, using hyperspectral images and advanced modelling techniques of Deep Learning (DL) and convolutional neural networks (CNN). The olives were artificially inoculated with the fungus. Hyperspectral images (450–1050 nm) of each olive were acquired until visual symptoms of the disease were observed, in some cases up to 9 days. The olives were classified into two classes: control, inoculated with water, and fungi composed of olives inoculated with the fungus. The ResNet101 architecture…

Conducting case study research in occupational therapy
2006
Background: Case study research has been used increasingly in psychology and sociology in recent years. It provides researchers with an opportunity to explore a situation involving one individual or several individuals over time from multiple points of view. Methods: This literature review explains case study research as a method and summerises its scientific merit, also providing an example of its use. Results: Case study research offers occupational therapists a scientific methodology that can be used to understand and develop occupational therapy practice. Conclusion: This paper argues that case study research should be used more extensively by occupational therapists as the method respe…

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 …
Testing the participatory education evaluation concept in a national context
2012
Abstract The article focuses on the realisation of participatory evaluation (PE) in national educational evaluation activity. The realisation of PE is examined by adapting the Daigneault and Jacob model (2009 ; originally Cousins & Whitmore, 1998 ) to five national-level educational evaluations carried out in Finland. According to the chosen frame of reference, self-evaluation regarding the realisation of these five evaluations as well as the analysis of reports that are yielded from the evaluations is used as the research method. PE was realised at a general level in the Finnish national level educational evaluations, but during the process there were considerable differences between the s…
Draft Genome Sequences of Dickeya sp. Isolates B16 (NIB Z 2098) and S1 (NIB Z 2099) Causing Soft Rot of Phalaenopsis Orchids
2015
ABSTRACT The genus Dickeya contains bacteria causing soft rot of economically important crops and ornamental plants. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two Dickeya sp. isolates from rotted leaves of Phalaenopsis orchids.
