Localising SDGs in Rural Uganda: Learning Active Citizenship Through the Saemaul Undong Model

2021

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are premised on the principles of ‘leaving no one behind’ and transformative development. Achieving the goals requires active citizens that are engaged in community development and claiming their rights. The chapter explores the ways in which a local NGO uses Saemaul Undong (SMU), a Korean community development model, to localise holistic achievement of a number of SDGs. Drawing on theories of the travel of global ideas in institutional sociology and based on participatory research including in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and participation in community activities, the chapter analyses how SMU’s three pillars of self-help, diligence and …

Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU): Principios para una universidad sostenible, cooperativa y democrática desde el diagnóstico participativo …

2017

El presente estudio analiza los discursos bajo los cuales se reconoce el sentido de 'Responsabilidad Social Universitaria' concediendo la voz a uno de sus protagonistas, el alumnado, para emitir conclusiones sobre su visión y elevarlas a los y las responsables de la política universitaria. Para ello, se ha realizado una investigación con metodología cuantitativa y cualitativa sistematizada durante dos cursos académicos con 206 alumnos/as del grado de Educación Social de la Universidad de Valencia (España). El objetivo del estudio ha sido realizar un diagnóstico participativo sobre el estado de la cuestión de la RSU y el Desarrollo Sostenible basado en el cuestionario de Vallaeys, De la Cruz…

Enhancing Collaborative Governance to Build Active Citizenship through Social Inclusion in Historical Neighborhood Regeneration: A Dynamic Performanc…

2021

Active citizenship and collaborative governance can be supported to enhance urban regeneration and social inclusion through Dynamic Performance Governance (DPG). The problem of urban decay and urban decline is identified as the main problem that continues to affect cities and urban areas. The study focuses on the urban regeneration experience of the historic urban neighborhood of Ballaro which is located in the historic city of Palermo. Urban regeneration is essential for transforming urban neighborhoods which are at risk of decline and blight. However, the lack of a social aspect such as social inclusion through active citizenship was identified to affect the sustainability of urban regene…

TCR V alpha chain expression influences reactivity to the hapten TNP.

1997

We have recently demonstrated a remarkable selection of in vitro cultivated, TNP-specific polyclonal T cell lines for the expression of a TCR beta chain encoded by the V beta 8.2 gene. The goal of the present study was to analyse V alpha usage in V beta 8.2 T cells responsive to TNP, using TNP-specific T cell lines derived from three common strains of mice, as well as from V beta 8.2 transgenic mice. Results indicate that in vitro TNP stimulation of T cells from TNP-immune mice results in significant skewing of V alpha usage among responding V beta 8.2+ T cells, with overexpression observed for V alpha 3.2 and V alpha 8. These results indicate that V alpha expression influences recognition …

Shared determinants between virus-infected and trinitrophenyl-conjugated H-2-identical target cells detected in cell-mediated lympholysis

1976

Infection of H-2-identical mice with either lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) virus, vaccinia virus, or paramyxo (Sendai) virus resulted in the generation of specifically sensitized cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). CTL generated in vitro against 2,4,6-trinitrophenyl (TNP)-conjugated syngeneic stimulator cells were specifically cytotoxic for TNP-conjugated H-2K (D) region identical targets. Both LCM and vaccinia-induced CTL, however, were found to be strongly cytotoxic towards TNP-conjugated, H-2K(D) region-identical target cells. In contrast, Sendai virus-induced CTL did not lyse TNP-conjugated, syngeneic target cells. Inhibition experiments using cold targets suggested that shared antigenic…

Azobenzene Polyesters Used as Gate-Like Scaffolds in Nanoscopic Hybrid Systems

2012

The synthesis and characterisation of new capped silica mesoporous nanoparticles for on-command delivery applications is reported. Functional capped hybrid systems consist of MCM-41 nanoparticles functionalised on the external surface with polyesters bearing azobenzene derivatives and rhodamine¿B inside the mesopores. Two solid materials, Rh-PAzo8-S and Rh-PAzo6-S, containing two closely related polymers, PAzo8 and PAzo6, in the pore outlets have been prepared. Materials Rh-PAzo8-S and Rh-PAzo6-S showed an almost zero release in water due to steric hindrance imposed by the presence of anchored bulky polyesters, whereas a large delivery of the cargo was observed in the presence of an esteras…

Apple Teacher: Stimulating learning and innovation

2022

In today’s world, the technological devices are becoming more and more protagonists in education field. They are predominant not only at school and university level, but they also have considerable educational potentiality in teacher training courses. This paper aims at focusing on the skills of the students enrolled in Specialization Course for special needs education targeting at the potential future application of Apple tools with pupils at school. The study describes the exploratory survey conducted with 1426 participants at the University of Palermo during the academic year 2020/2021 and it analyses their perceptions about the basic applications of Apple devices to be used during educa…

IT palīdzības dienestos pielietoto tehnoloģiju izpēte

2020

Bakalaura darbs sniedz ieskatu, kas ir palīdzības dienests un kāda ir tā loma. Tika apskatītas 6 dažādas (Jira Service Desk, Freshdesk, Zendesk, JitBit, Talkdesk, CloudTalk) pieteikumu reģistrācijas un zvanu platformas, ko izmanto palīdzības dienestos. Bakalaura sākuma daļā tika veikts īss ieskats, kas ir palīdzības dienests. Tika veikts platformu funkciju apraksts salīdzinātas to sniegtās iespējas. Pētījuma daļā tika aprakstītas platformas, ko izmanto kādā reālā palīdzības dienestā, veikts izpildījuma novērtējums un izdarīti secinājumi, vai nomainot izmantotās platformas uz jaunākajām uzlabotos palīdzības dienesta darbība. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt kādas tehnoloģijas tiek izmantota…
