Constructing digital portfolios: teachers evolving capabilities in the use of information and communications technology
2001
Abstract The article describes a collaborative action research project, which encouraged teachers to participate in displaying and developing the pedagogical practices of early childhood institutions through networking and digital web portfolios. Special emphasis is placed on examining the progress of teachers ICT capabilities during the first two cycles of action research. The study is based on the ecological approach to virtual learning environments. In the ecological approach, the description of virtual communities is extended to include features of the overall environment: technical devices, programs, materials, tools for communication and planning, different social and emotional proces…

WebGIS Implementation for Dynamic Mapping and Visualization of Coastal Geospatial Data: A Case Study of BESS Project
2021
Within an E.U.-funded project, BESS (Pocket Beach Management and Remote Surveillance System), the notion of a geographic information system is an indispensable tool for managing the dynamics of georeferenced data and information for any form of territorial planning. This notion was further explored with the creation of a WebGIS portal that will allow local and regional stakeholders/authorities obtain an easy remote access tool to monitor the status of pocket beaches (PB) in the Maltese Archipelago and Sicily. In this paper, we provide a methodological approach for the implementation of a WebGIS necessary for very detailed dynamic mapping and visualization of geospatial coastal data
Music Education, Creativity and Technology: An Exploratory Study on Teaching Strategies and Creative Activities With Ex Novo Software
2022
Resumen Objetivo. Analizar las estrategias y las actividades creativas que el profesorado de música realiza en sus aulas mediante un software construido por las personas investigadoras que facilita la creación sonora colaborativa en contextos docentes. Método. El trabajo se ha realizado mediante un enfoque exploratorio-descriptivo a través de una experiencia didáctica desarrollada durante 12 semanas en aula y después se encuestó a 27 docentes de educación primaria y secundaria. La encuesta recogió información sobre actividades de aula realizadas, procesos creativos llevados a cabo, estrategias docentes adoptadas, recursos de aula y uso del software en las actividades. Resultados. Los result…
Technologies supporting vision screening: a protocol for a scoping review
2021
Introduction Vision problems affect academic performance, social and mental health. Most traditional vision screening methods rely on human expert assessments based on a set of vision tests. As technology advances, new instruments and computerised tools are available for complementing vision screening. The scoping review based on this protocol aims to investigate current technologies for vision screening, what vision tests can be complemented by technologies, and how these can support vision screening by providing measurements. Methods and analysis The planned review will utilise the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) tool. Electronic search will be performed in databases, i…
Formulations and valid inequalities for the capacitated dispersion problem
2023
This work focuses on the capacitated dispersion problem for which we study several mathematical formulations in different spaces using variables associated with nodes, edges, and costs. The relationships among the presented formulations are investigated by comparing the projections of the feasible sets of the LP relaxations onto the subspace of natural variables. These formulations are then strengthened with families of valid inequalities and variable-fixing procedures. The separation problems associated with the valid inequalities that are exponential in number are shown to be polynomially solvable by reducing them to longest path problems in acyclic graphs. The dual bounds obtained from s…
Inquietudes y complicidades en el uso del software de gestión en centros educativos
2009
Monográfico con el título: 'Convergencia tecnológica: la producción de pedagogías high tech'. Resumen basado en el de la publicación El nivel de introducción del denominado software de gestión en los centros de enseñanza secundaria ya es muy elevado, y en consecuencia susceptible de ser analizado. Por esta razón se reflexiona sobre el uso en algunos de estos centros de aplicaciones y artefactos de gestión, destacando las tensiones que se perciben entre sus posibilidades como recurso de ayuda al profesorado, y los condicionamientos que como instrumento de control impone su utilización.

Correction: Mechanical properties of provisional dental materials: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
2018
Provisional restorations represent an important phase during the rehabilitation process, knowledge of the mechanical properties of the available materials allows us to predict their clinical performance. At present, there is no systematic review, which supports the clinicians’ criteria, in the selection of a specific material over another for a particular clinical situation. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess and compare the mechanical properties of dimethacrylates and monomethacrylates used in fabricating direct provisional restorations, in terms of flexural strength, fracture toughness and hardness. This review followed the PRISMA guidelines. The searche…
Market scope of vendors in the OSS software market
2007
This paper studies the market scope of vendors that produce software for telecommunications operators, i.e. the Operations Support Systems (OSS) market. The aim is to find out the strategies used by vendors in the OSS market. The market scope is studied on two dimensions: 1) the breadth of the scope in the OSS market; and 2) focus on the telecommunications industry. The breadth of market scope is divided into four categories: niche, vertical, layer and broad scope. We examine empirical vendor data from the years 2002 and 2005. Results show that all hypothesized strategies are present in the market. Most of the firms have either a niche, a vertical or a broad market scope, and they are speci…
