THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF FUTURE TEACHERS
2021
In Latvia, inclusive education is relevant as seen in the past several decades, during which time society has developed a more comprehensive understanding of and made significant progress towards implementing inclusive education. Nevertheless, there is still a gap between the priorities of education policy and reality in educational institutions. The quality of education accorded to students is informed by the knowledge, understanding and experience of teachers in the implementation of concepts of inclusive education. The current study aimed at identifying the visions of prospective teachers (already working in schools) concerning inclusive education. To explore the experiences of future te…
Effects of different lower-limb sensory stimulation strategies on postural regulation-a Systematic review and metaanalysis
2017
Systematic reviews of balance control have tended to only focus on the effects of single lower-limb stimulation strategies, and a current limitation is the lack of comparison between different relevant stimulation strategies. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine evidence of effects of different lower-limb sensory stimulation strategies on postural regulation and stability. Moderate- to high-pooled effect sizes (Unbiased (Hedges' g) standardized mean differences (SMD) = 0.31-0.66) were observed with the addition of noise in a Stochastic Resonance Stimulation Strategy (SRSS), in three populations (i.e., healthy young adults, older adults, and individuals with low…
Visions for regenerative medicine: interface between scientific fact and science fiction.
2006
This article gives a brief overview of the authors' views on the future development of tissue engineering with respect to the challenges both to the materials and life sciences. Emphasis will be placed on the advantages of three-dimensional bioresorbable polymers in combination with relevant molecular cues and the application of autologous stem or progenitor cells. There is a requirement for much more diversity in the synthesis of so-called "intelligent" materials, which respond to external stimuli, as well as the development of novel drug and gene delivery systems. In addition, much more basic research is necessary in developmental biology and the application of modern cell and molecular b…
EDGE: explorer of diffuse emission and gamma-ray burst explosions
2009
How structures on various scales formed and evolved from the early Universe up to present time is a fundamental question of astrophysical cosmology. EDGE will trace the cosmic history of the baryons from the early generations of massive star by Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) explosions, through the period of cluster formation, down to very low redshifts, when between a third and one half of the baryons are expected to reside in cosmic filaments undergoing gravitational collapse by dark matter (Warm Hot Intragalactic Medium: WHIM). In addition EDGE, with its unprecedented observational capabilities, will provide key results on several other topics. The science is feasible with a medium class mission …
Development Studies in Tanzania: Historical Trajectory and Future Visions
2018
The chapter discusses the history, dilemmas and future visions of Development Studies in Tanzania, especially from the perspective of Institute of Development Studies in the University of Dar es Salaam. It shows how in the 1970s Development Studies played a significant role in the consolidation of state ideology of African socialism among university students, and since then, has gradually evolved into a recognized discipline with MA and PhD programmes. Over the years, the discipline has dealt with dilemmas related to its multidisciplinary nature, state ideologies, international donor agendas and the changing demands concerning academic publications. Recently, Development Studies in Tanzania…
Co-creating Urban Development: A Living Lab for Community Regeneration in the Second District of Palermo
2013
The characterisation of urban ‘smartness’ emerges as a product of social mobilisation, which marks the pathway towards collective technology adoption and policy innovation. This paper highlights the didactic and critical aspects that relate to the use of participatory solutions – namely the electronic Town Meeting and others, such as weblogs and the “Planning for Real” scheme – which start within the dimension of social animation and serious gaming and are only later oriented to urban planning. The Palermo pilot of the PARTERRE ICT-PSP project, based on the Territorial Living Lab approach, documents one possible transition from the stage of a free relationship with scenarios and visions, to…
Hvordan bør menigheter arbeide med endring? En drøfting av relevansen av organisasjonsteoretiske perspektiver for endringstiltak i menigheter
2016
How ahould congregations work with change? A discussion of the relevance of organizational theoretical perspectives for change in congregations The purpose of this article is to discuss the contribution to congregations of theoretical perspectives on change in the organizational literature. The contribution of the discussion is on the evaluation of the relevance. I discuss the relevance of planned change, lifecycle theory, external influences, power, and coincidence and conclude that organizational perspectives are relevant as long as they applies in a context sensitive manner. I suggests a bounded rational planning process for congregational development. The arguments for this is that cong…
Digital educational resources in early childhood Education
2022
[Resumen] El impacto de las tecnologías en la población infantil de 3 a 6 años es evidente tanto en el contexto familiar como el educativo, donde los docentes asumen un rol fundamental en la selección, uso y creación de recursos didácticos digitales. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar las visiones del profesorado sobre los usos didácticos y organizativos de la tecnología en general y de los Recursos Educativos Digitales en particular, y la valoración tras su introducción y puesta en práctica en la etapa de Educación Infantil. En este estudio de corte cualitativo se empleó como instrumento de recogida de la información una entrevista semiestructurada a un total de 15 docentes q…
La costruzione partecipata della vision aziendale: Proposta metodologica e studio di caso
2015
Introduzione Negli ultimi anni il sistema dei bisogni dietro le scelte di consumo si è evoluto verso una domanda di tipo esistenziale. Oggi i clienti cercano storie e valori cui aderire, che rappresentino l’identità di un’organizzazione differenziandola dalla concorrenza. Questo fenomeno ha stimolato il passaggio dal concetto di Branding (valori di marchio) a quello di Corporate Branding (valori organizzativi), spingendo le aziende a utilizzare sempre più diffusamente modelli di vision statement (es. carta dei valori) e a riconoscere un maggiore peso strategico della vision sullo sviluppo organizzativo: una visione forte fornisce valori che aiutano il conseguimento degli obiettivi aziendali…
Hybrid foveated vision system for video surveillance and robotic navigation
2014
The primary goal of this thesis is to elaborate a binocular vision system using two different types of camera. The system studied here is composed of one omnidirectional camera coupled with a PTZ camera. This heterogeneous association of cameras having different characteristics is called a hybrid stereo-vision system. The couple composed of these two cameras combines the advantages given by both of them, that is to say a large field of view and an accurate vision of a particular Region of interest with an adjustable level of details using the zoom. In this thesis, we are presenting multiple contributions in visual tracking using omnidirectional sensors, PTZ camera self calibration, hybrid v…
