The ECHR Condemns Prison Overcrowding in Italy: The Total Reorganization of the Institution and the Social Reintegration of the Prisoner
2017
The contribution analyses the current Italian prison system, which has been called upon on to resolve its structural problems. The Council of Europe, in fact, in 2013 condemned Italy for inhuman treatment in its prisons. The principal accusation concerns the problem of overcrowding. The country has responded with solutions such as the application of the open system, which provides cells solely for overnight stays, and dynamic monitoring, an effective system for ensuring order in the institutions. These initiatives aim to promote re-educational activities and the social re-integration of prisoners. In addition, Italian institutions have made greater use of alternatives to custodial penalties…
A Quantitative Method for Localizing User Interface Problems: The D-TEO Method
2009
A large array of evaluation methods have been propo sed to identify Website usability problems. In log-based evaluation, inform ation about the performance of users is collected and stored into log files, and used to find problems and deficiencies in Web page designs. Most methods require the programming and modeling of large task models, which are cumbersome processes for evaluato rs. Also, because much statistical data is collected onto log files, recognizing which Web pages require deeper usability analysis is difficult. This paper suggests a novel quantitative method, called the D-TEO, for locating problematic Web pages. This semiautoma ted method explores the decomposition of interacti…
An exploration into the applicability of school principals' training on the principals' leadership practices in Finland
2012
Quality leadership preparation has been shown to have positive influences on leadership practices of graduates. With five formal categories of leadership training programmes in the decentralized Finnish educational system, little is known about the leadership practices of graduates. This study explored the applicability of training on principals’ self-assessed leadership practices in Central Finland. Eight semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with principals from schools in and around the municipality of Jyväskylä. Purposive sampling was used as all participants had taken the advanced educational leadership training at the University of Jyväskylä in addition to other trainin…
Towards the Learning Experience Technology Usability framework
2017
The availability of learning technology has increased over past decades; however, severe usability issues that cause adverse effects on the learning experience can be found in many available technologies. Learning solution usability is commonly evaluated by focusing on either technical or pedagogical usability and rarely both. This artificially separates the two important aspects of learning technology usability. This chapter provides a new framework for designing and evaluating learning solutions that synthesizes the above usability types to consider them a part of a complex and dynamic whole comprising of learning, technological design, content-related issues and context. The proposed Lea…

2021
Diplomdarba mērķis ir noskaidrot kā ledlauži mācību stundas ierosināšanas fāzē ietekmē 5. klases skolēnu emocionālo klimatu. Šajā diplomdarbā tika apskatīti 6 ledlauži, kas tika pielietoti Baldones skolas 5. klases mācību stundās, lai noskaidrotu, kā šie ledlauži ietekmē klases emocionālo klimatu. Pētījumā piedalījās Baldones skolas 5. klases 28 skolēni un 10 skolotāji. Kā pētījuma metodes tika izmantota novērošana (pētījumam saistībā ar skolēniem) un anketēšana (skolotājiem). Pētījuma norises laiks bija no 22. marta līdz 8. maijam. Šī perioda laikā 1 reizi nedēļā vienā mācību blokstundā tika izmantots viens ledlauzis, pēc kura veikšanas darba autore veica novērojumu fiksēšanu protokolā. Sk…
Modes vārdu lietojums lietišķās angļu valodas tekstu korpusā
2015
Modes vārdi jau labu laiku ir bijis iecienīts temats tiem, kas tos lieto ikdienā. Visbiežāk tie ir biznesa speciālisti, izglītībā strādājošie, politiķi vai IT speciālisti. Lai arī eksistē pietiekami daudz biznesa literatūras stilā sarakstītu žurnālu rakstu, grāmatu un vārdnīcu, kas veltīti modes vārdiem, ļoti maz ir tādu zinātnisku darbu, kas apraksta modes vārdus no lingvistikas viedokļa. Tādēļ šī zinātniskā darba mērķis ir izpētīt, izanalizēt un aprakstīt modes vārdu lietojumu, it sevišķi to lietojumu lietišķajā angļu valodā. Lai sasniegtu uzstādīto mērķi, tika izpētīts, izanalizēts un salīdzināts četru modes vārdu game-changing, innovative, thought leader un visionary lietojums vispārīga…
The GraphoGame Method: The Theoretical and Methodological Background of the Technology-Enhanced Learning Environment for Learning to Read
2014
This paper provides an overview of the GraphoGame method. Both theoretical and methodological aspects related to the method are presented. The method’s guiding principles are based on the prevailing theories and experimental research findings on learning and teaching basic reading skills in alphabetic languages, especially from the point of view of a struggling reader. Because the nature of the target language and its relation to its writing system play central roles in the GraphoGame method, this approach requires the method to be flexible in order to be valid for learners of different languages and orthographies. Thus, the aim of the developed technology is to provide an appropriate readi…
De entre los libros prohibidos: Gamaliel
2011
Este artículo se centra en la difusión e importancia de los libros devocionales como exponentes de la cosmovisión religiosa de la cotidianeidad a través de uno de ellos, Gamaliel. Obra anónima sobre la pasión y muerte de Cristo que tuvo su origen en el evangelio apócrifo de Nicodemo y ampliamente difundida durante los siglos XIV-XV en la zona valenciano-catalano-balear. También se estudia cómo, a pesar de su popularidad, fue incluida en los índices de libros prohibidos por la Inquisición Española y su supervivencia hasta nuestros días. This article explores the relevance of devotional literature as representing Medieval popular piety and a non-learned religious vision of the world at the ti…
