Influence of Teacher and Family Support on University Student Motivation and Engagement
2021
Although many studies endorse the notion that the way students perceive support influences their engagement, very few have explored the possible mediator role of intention to learn between these variables. The present work provides new evidence to the existing literature because it analyses the work of intention to learn (measured with expectancy–value beliefs and achievement goals) as a mediating motivational variable in the relation between university students’ external support (teacher and family) and their engagement. The Educational Situation Quality Model (MOCSE, its acronym in Spanish) has employed as a theoretical framework to perform this analysis. A sample of 267 Spanish universit…
LR(k) Parsing
1990
In this chapter we shall generalize the notion of strong LL(k) parsing presented in Chapter 5 and consider a method for deterministic left parsing that applies to a slightly wider class of context-free grammars than does the strong LL(k) parsing method. This method will be called “canonical LL(k) parsing”. As in strong LL(k) parsing, the acronym “LL(k)” means that the input string is parsed (1) in a single Left-to-right scan, (2) producing a Left parse, and (3) using lookahead of length k.
Un códice facticio de cancioneros manuscritos del siglo XVI
2020
Se ofrece un completo análisis codicológico del manuscrito 2763 de la Biblioteca Universitaria de Salamanca. Se trata del volumen denominado SA10 en el sistema de siglas propuesto por Brian Dutton (1990-91), un códice que agrupa dos cancioneros manuscritos independientes de poesía medieval, fechables en la primera mitad del siglo XVI. El estudio exhaustivo de la estricta materialidad del códice se completa con el recuento y análisis de las obras y autores seleccionados, así como de su disposición y secuenciación. Los resultados permiten formular una hipótesis argumentada acerca de la génesis del volumen y de su complejo proceso de copia y transmisión. A complete codicological analysis of ma…
De quoi le Covid-19 est-il le nom ? L’impact du langage sur la prise en charge et le positionnement éthique par temps de pandémie
2020
Résumé L’irruption massive de l’expression Covid-19 dans le milieu hospitalier comme dans nos vies a fait apparaître une étrange analogie entre l’expansion d’un virus et la dissémination virale, elle aussi, d’une manière de parler, de formuler et de nommer pour agir. Cet article se propose de questionner l’impact de l’expression Covid-19 sur le langage des soignants. Il propose de discuter la dimension éthique d’un soin des mots du soin lorsqu’une manière de parler s’impose à eux. Il interroge également le pluralisme épistémologique et éthique engageant la médecine entre science, clinique et politique.
What Is the Role of Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery in High-Risk Patients? A Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies
2016
Background. Minimally invasive valve surgery is related to certain better postoperative outcomes. We aimed to assess the role of minimally invasive mitral valve surgery in high-risk patients. Methods. A systematic literature review identified eight studies of which seven fulfilled criteria for metaanalysis. Outcomes for a total of 1,254 patients (731 were conventional standard sternotomy and 523 were minimally invasive mitral valve surgery) were submitted to meta-analysis using random effects modeling. Heterogeneity and subgroup analysis with quality scoring were assessed. The primary end point was early mortality. Secondary end points were intraoperative and postoperative outcomes and long…
Drawing and Project at the VChUTEMAS. Graphic Interpretations
2019
The article deals with the graphic study of the project for the Kominern Palace designed in 1929 by Lidija Komarova, one of the students of the Russian Laboratories known by the acronym VChUTEMAS, founded in 1920 in Moscow. Strongly characterized by the revolutionary atmosphere that was delineating the artistic progress based on the synthesis of all the plastic arts, the Russian Laboratories attributed to the architecture a position of the first order, a perfect association between the scientific possibility and the art technique. The redrawing of this project allows to deepen the compositional principles of the new architectural formation of the Eastern European avant-garde, providing digi…

Neology and lemmatization: clippings and acronyms in spanish dictionaries
2020
espanolEsta investigacion presenta tres objetivos: describir el tratamiento lexicografico de los acortamientos y siglas en diccionarios actuales del espanol; caracterizar las nuevas unidades lexicas formadas por reduccion en cotextos de uso reales (periodisticos y digitales); y disenar una propuesta de criterios para integrar de un modo coherente estas unidades en los diccionarios. Para alcanzar estos objetivos, en primer lugar se describen los acortamientos y siglas detectados en la nomenclatura del DLE (2017) y en el vaciado de dos repertorios de neologismos (Neologismos del espanol actual y Corpus Obneo) y del Corpus del espanol. En segundo lugar, a partir de estos datos, se configura un…
Introducing Assessment Tools for 21st Century Skills in Finland
2014
The Finnish national interest in the enhancement of 21st century skills has highlighted a need for and interest in developing tools and methods for teaching and assessing such skills. In this chapter, we present and analyze the development process of online assessment tools in the Assessment and Teaching of 21st Century Skills study (ATC21STM) from the Finnish perspective. (The acronym ATC21STM has been globally trademarked. For purposes of simplicity the acronym is presented throughout the chapter as ATC21S.) The development process was implemented according to the guidelines of the international project through four phases, namely concept checks, cognitive laboratories, pilot studies and …
Atlas of Variations in Medical Practice in Spain: The Spanish National Health Service under scrutiny
2012
Early in the 2000s, a countrywide health services research initiative was launched under the acronym of Atlas VPM: Atlas of Variations in Medical Practice in the Spanish National Health System. This initiative aimed at describing systematic and unwarranted variations in medical practice at geographic level-building upon the seminal experience of the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care. The paper aims at explaining the Spanish Atlas experience, built upon the pioneer Dartmouth inspiration. A few selected examples will be used along the following sections to illustrate the outlined conceptual framework, the different factors that may affect variation, and some methodological challenges.
