Are quality management practices enough to improve process innovation?
2015
The popularity of quality management as a system for continuous improvement has not been accompanied by deep theoretical understanding of its effects on process innovation. In this work, the resource-based view serves as the basis for the construction of a model designed to explain the effects of quality management practices (QMP) on process innovation performance and the mediating role of dynamic capabilities in this relationship. The empirical data were analysed using the structural equation modelling technique by examining 6 competing models that represent full, partial mediation and non-mediation relationships on a sample of 550 Spanish industrial companies. The findings indicate that t…
Educación XX1 : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2019
Los avances tecnológicos han provocado que el ámbito de la educación se vea influenciado por la aparición de nuevos modelos de enseñanza y aprendizaje mediados por la gran cantidad de recursos digitales y dispositivos electrónicos que cuenta hoy el profesorado. Uno de los enfoques metodológicos que está emergiendo como consecuencia de la innovación educativa es el flipped learning. Este modelo de enseñanza y aprendizaje se sustenta en la idea de que los discentes puedan visualizar y trabajar los contenidos de las próximas sesiones presenciales en el aula fuera del entorno académico, con la finalidad de dedicar el mayor tiempo posible en clase a la resolución de problemas y al despliegue de …
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…
Hyvä valmentaja 10-15-vuotiaiden telinevoimistelussa kilpailevien tyttöjen silmin
2014
Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli kartoittaa hyvän valmentajan ominaisuuksia ja suomalaisten telinevoimistelijatyttöjen tyytyväisyyttä valmentajiinsa. Lisäksi halusin selvittää, täyttivätkö voimistelijatyttöjen omat valmentajat heidän odotuksensa hyvästä, niin sanotusta unelmavalmentajasta. Tutkielman aineistonkeruu suoritettiin helmi-maaliskuussa 2013 sähköisellä kyselylomakkeella, johon saivat vastata aktiivisesti telinevoimistelua harrastavat, 10–15 -vuotiaat tytöt. Tutkimukseen osallistui yhteensä 38 tyttöä 14 eri seurasta. He olivat aktiivisesti kilpailleet viimeisen kahden vuoden aikana eli osallistuneet vähintään yksiin virallisiin, kansallisen tason naistelinevoimistelukilpailuihin…
"Tentative lessons of experience: Arendt, essayism, and ""the social"" reconsidered"
2014
The article addresses the role of the essay in Hannah Arendt’s theorizing. By paying attention to Arendt’s style, we are better able to draw the full conclusions from the well-known fact that she was not a system-builder but took her bearings from concrete experiences. First, the concept of experience—too often taken at face value—is explicated. It is argued that Arendt’s understanding of the concept cannot be reduced to her personal experiences, but must be read against the background of the common world. A crucial dimension in the incorporation of experiences into the Arendtian political theory is the essayistic style of her writings. The essay, as an experimental and tentative platform,…

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…
Creating the Socio-technical Context Needed to Derive Benefits from Big Data Initiatives in Healthcare
2021
The application of big data in healthcare typifies a complex socio-technical sys- tem. However, although research and practice have advanced the technical aspects of big data, comparable advancements in the social aspects (i.e., human and structural aspects) are lagging. Literature, especially on socio-technical theory, suggests that organizations may only derive benefits from big data initiatives when technical initiatives are adequate- ly complemented by social interventions. Thus, seeing that big data is receiving consider- able attention in healthcare, researchers have called for further research into the social aspects of the application of big data in healthcare. Adopting a socio-tech…
La falta de reproducibilitat de la investigació: L'estadística com a legitimació del resultat
2014
La investigació científica es legitima mitjançant la replicació dels seus resultats, però els esforços per replicar afirmacions enganyoses exhaureixen el finançament. Ens centrarem en una d’aquestes errades: els resultats de proves estadístiques que ofereixen falsos positius a causa de l’atzar. Els mètodes estadístics clàssics confien en un p-valor per a ponderar les proves enfront d’una hipòtesi nul·la, però les proves d’hipòtesis bayesianes ofereixen resultats més fàcils de comprendre, sempre que hom puga especificar distribucions a priori per a la hipòtesi alternativa. Descriurem noves proves, les UMPBT, tests bayesians que ofereixen una especificació per defecte de les alternatives a pr…
