Students’ perspectives on English medium instruction within higher education. Exploring gender differences in Norway and Finland
2020
This study aims to explore gender differences in students’ perspectives on language use within higher education (HE), using data from a survey distributed to students at two universities in Norway and Finland. Analysing responses concerning language use in HE, I found that most students were positively inclined towards English medium instruction (EMI). However, while there in both countries were only small differences in attitudes towards EMI between male and female students, in Finland, female students were less confident in their English skills than male students were. Furthermore, female students in both countries reported more difficulties in coping with English in their day-to-day stud…

A GAMING APPROACH FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE KNOWLEDGE AND DISSEMINATION
2019
Abstract. In these last years, video games have become one of the most popular entertainment for children/teenagers/adults thanks to their appealing and seductive features and, in this context, the Serious Games (SG) have become an important research field. The most popular SGs in Cultural Heritage (CH) used the historical building like scenario where the game is playing. In this paper we show the procedure to achieve a CH video game where the Cultural Heritage is the main actor and not the scenario of the game. Furthermore, the game is not a SG but an Action-Adventure Game (AAG) or Survival Game (SuG), in a largest heading it can be classified as Entertainment Games (EGs). The novelty of t…

Corella i el «Tirant»: qüestions d'intertextualitat
1998
The article points out that the presence of Corellian fragments in Tirant does not only affect his published works,but also those that were never printed and that must have been orally transmitted. The author finds evidence of oral performance, and of a constant amplifying and simplifying process of a hypo-text, which seems to reflect an ornamental, free and creative use of paragraphs that does not influence the narrative flow.
Infancia y cuento de hadas en Il bacio della Medusa, de Melania Mazzucco
2017
Il bacio della Medusa, opera prima de la escritora italiana Melania Mazzucco (Roma, 1966), narra el amor erótico entre dos mujeres a comienzos del siglo XX. En este artículo estudiaremos las representaciones de la infancia (un tema recurrente en distintas obras de la autora), a partir del análisis de la intertextualidad con el cuento de hadas. Los procedimientos de reescritura, citación e inversión transmiten una visión desencantada de la niñez.
Virulence factor rtx in Legionella pneumophila, evidence suggesting it is a modular multifunctional protein
2008
Abstract Background The repeats in toxin (Rtx) are an important pathogenicity factor involved in host cells invasion of Legionella pneumophila and other pathogenic bacteria. Its role in escaping the host immune system and cytotoxic activity is well known. Its repeated motives and modularity make Rtx a multifunctional factor in pathogenicity. Results The comparative analysis of rtx gene among 6 strains of L. pneumophila showed modularity in their structures. Among compared genomes, the N-terminal region of the protein presents highly dissimilar repeats with functionally similar domains. On the contrary, the C-terminal region is maintained with a fashionable modular configuration, which gives…
New Insights into the complexation of lead(II) by 1,4,7,10-tetrakis(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (DOTAM): structural, thermodynami…
2007
The lead(II) coordination properties of the tetrapodal ligand DOTAM [1,4,7,10-tetrakis(carbamoylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraaza-cyclododecane] have been investigated both in the solid state and in solution in order to ascertain the stereoactivity of the lone pair and to rationalize the structural effects of a cyclen-based scaffold on the metal uptake kinetics. The crystal structure of the free base shows that the pendant acetamide groups are not equivalent: two are folded over the macrocycle and maintained by an intramolecular hydrogen bond involving an amide hydrogen atom and a neighboring tertiary amine of the cyclen ring, while the other two are extended and point away from the macrocyclic cav…
Leksiskā pieeja lietišķās angļu valodas sarakstes prasmju pilveidei augstskolā
2021
Šabloniskās valodas lietojums lietišķajā komunikācijā palīdz ziņu padarīt īsāku un skaidrāku, kas ir svarīgi, lai panāktu veiksmīgas biznesa attiecības un sasniegtu komunikatīvos mērķus. Mērķis bija izpētīt, cik efektīvi būtu piemērot leksisko pieeju mācot vēstuļu rakstīšanu lietišķās angļu valodas kontekstā. Pielietotā pētniecības metode bija gadījuma izpēte. Datu iegušanas metodes bija aptaujas un testi. Pētījuma dalībnieki bija trīsdesmit pilna laika bakalaura līmeņa studenti, kas apguva programmu vienā no universitātēm Latvijā. Visiem dalībniekiem angļu valoda bija svešvaloda. Secinājumi norādīja, ka leksiskā pieeja kā metodoloģiskā stratēģija pozitīvi ietekmēja šabloniskās valodas liet…
Intertextualidad, historia e imaginación en las aventuras de Alfred y Agatha
2016
Las aventuras de Alfred y Agatha constituyen una serie de novelas para jóvenes lectores que muy buen pueden considerarse una introducción al género negro. Adoptando la formula detectivesca convencional como forma narrativa, la escritora Ana Campoy ha recreado la infancia de los célebres Alfred Hitchcock y Agatha Christie, y los ha tomado como héroes protagonistas de una serie de casos en los que se mezclan la fantasía, los datos históricos y la ficción literaria. Tras un encuentro fortuito, Alfred y Agatha no solamente se hacen amigos, sino que junto con su perrita “Morritos” deciden montar una agencia de detectives llamada Miller and Jones. Nos encontramos en Londres a principios de Siglo …
