Digitaalisen koealustan pilotointi Yleisissä kielitutkinnoissa
2019
Yleiset kielitutkinnot ovat siirtymässä asteittain digitaaliseen muotoon. Tässä artikkelissa esitellään lyhyesti tätä muutosprosessia sekä kerrotaan maahanmuuttajille järjestetystä digitaalisen koealustan pilotoinnista ja sen tuloksista. Pilotti toteutettiin Lahdessa kotoutumiskoulutukseen osallistuvien maahanmuuttajien kielitaidon testauksella. Heidän kielitaitonsa vaihteli kielten yleiseurooppalaisen viitekehyksen tasojen A1 ja B1 välillä. Pilotissa testattiin digitaalisen alustan toimintaa ja käytettävyyttä koulutustaustaltaan hyvin heterogeenisella osallistujajoukolla. Pilotissa haluttiin myös selvittää, vaikuttaako koneella kirjoittaminen kirjoitusnopeuteen ja tuotoksen pituuteen S2-op…
The nature and impacts of environmental spillovers on housing prices: A spatial hedonic analysis
2014
Abstract: This paper investigates the spatial dimension of the environmental effects. We use recent advances in spatial econometrics to show that hedonic equations produce estimates to be differently interpreted as implicit prices according to spatial models. In particularly, the i mplicit price of housing attribute combines a feedback effect and a propagation effect and may be interpreted in terms of local or global spillovers. We drive an empirical study in the estuary of the Loire, a rural and urban area well occupied by various natural areas and more artificialized ones. We study various spatial interaction patterns to test the robustness of our estimates and we find that spatial depend…
STRAIN ENERGY EVALUATION IN STRUCTURES HAVING ZONE-WISE PHYSICAL- MECHANICAL QUANTITIES
2013
Among the possible aims of structural analysis inside some engineering spheres it can be useful to know the strain energy stored in all or in a part of the structure caused by assigned external actions, like the boundary and domain quantities. This serves to evaluate globally whether an assigned portion of structure undergoes an excessive store of energy able to compromise the stability of all the structure. This evaluation can be carried out through boundary work obtained using appropriate boundary generalized quantities connected to the results of the analysis on the whole structure. The advantage consists in using a very restricted number of quantities which, because of the characteristi…

Clinical evaluation of automated capillary refill time estimation in dogs and cats
2019
In this study, we clinically evaluated a pulse oximeter-based device for automated capillary refill time (CRT) estimation in dogs and cats. CRT can reveal conditions like shock or anemia in dogs and cats. However, visual CRT estimation has low repeatability, and the available optical systems for automated estimation are not suitable for pets. We evaluated a custom-made portable CRT measuring device on various measurement sites of 12 dogs and 11 cats with parallel visual CRT estimation on the gum by treating veterinarian. The capillary refill was also recorded by a video camera for reference. The visual and video procedures were moderately correlated with the coefficient of 0.61; visual CRT …
The role of expert evaluation for microsleep detection
2015
Abstract Recently, it has been shown by overnight driving simulation studies that microsleep density is the only known sleepiness indicator which rapidly increases within a few seconds immediately before sleepiness related crashes. This indicator is based solely on EEG and EOG and subsequent adaptive pattern recognition. Accurate microsleep recognition is very important for the performance of this sleepiness indicator. The question is whether expensive evaluations of microsleep events by a) experts are necessary or b) non-experts provide sufficient evaluations. Based on 11,114 microsleep events in case a) and 12,787 in case b) recognition accuracies were investigated utilizing (i) artificia…
La costruzione del paesaggio ibleo: reti deboli, segni forti
2017
The contribution deals with the theme of the dry stone walls’ landscape which characterizes the rural “Koinè” of the Hyblean plateau in South-Eastern Sicily. The essay analyses the main political-economic, social-territorial, constructive and typological features which make the dry walls network the landmark of the Ragusa province. Because of the modification of the economic-cultural context that produced it, the loss of knowledge of the construction techniques and the lack of public resources, the definition of an axiology of the contemporary landscape as premise for the establishment of adequate terms of value for the safeguard of this heritage is required.
Próba implementacji techniki rysunku na dowolny temat na grunt praktyki pedagogicznej
2022
Rysunek na dowolny temat jest komunikatem symbolicznym i tak powinien być odczytywany. Służy temu analiza oparta na kryteriach oceny, które są płynne i zależne od intencji badacza. Rozumienie rysunku powinno przebiegać podobnie jak przebiega rozumienie wszystkich wytworów kultury duchowej człowieka. Podstawą rozumienia wytworów kultury jest interpretacja, polegająca na odczytywaniu znaczeń symboli obecnych w tradycji (mity, baśnie) i współczesnej kulturze dziecka (bajki, świat wirtualny, media). Jej celem jest poznanie i (z)rozumienie dziecka. W pracy pedagoga interpretacja rysunku dziecka polega na poszukiwaniu jego sensu poprzez odczytywanie znaczeń symboli występujących we wzajemnych pow…
Teachers and Students Surfing Together
2012
Several studies regarding the integration of audio-video conferencing and instant messaging in university and professional courses (Isaacs et al. 1994; Scholl et al.,2006) have revealed the importance of these two resources in enhancing interaction. Other studies (Boset al. 2001) have pinpointed that, in building trust, audio-video communication can reach the highest levels of effectiveness and liking (Schliemann, et al. 2002). Web-conference has made the web a powerful interactive tool, facilitating collaboration on joint projects and enabling the development of educational settings which lead to meaningful learning (Gillani, 2003). Such interactive modes in a blended-learning environment,…
