Fostering Teacher-Student Interaction and Learner Autonomy by the I-TUTOR Maps

2014

The paper analyses the use of an automatically generated map as a mediator; that map visually represents the study domain of a university course and fosters the co-activity between teachers and stu- dents. In our approach the role of the teacher is meant as a media- tor between the student and knowledge. The mediation (and not the transmission) highlights a process in which theres no deterministic rela- tion between teaching and learning. Learning is affected by the students previous experiences, their own modalities of acquisition and by the in- puts coming from the environment. The learning path develops when the teachers and the students visions approach and, partly, overlap. In this cas…

Chapter 24 Bihemispheric plasticity after acute hand deafferentation

2003

Publisher Summary This chapter summarizes experiments showing that deprivation of somatosensory input could also elicit organizational changes in the hemisphere contralateral to the deafferented one. The existence of interactions among homotopic sites within cortical representations in both hemispheres provides a substrate for such an effect. It has been proposed that chronic deafferentation, in association with long-term practice as in blind, deaf, or individuals with amputation results in compensatory gains in the same and in other sensory modalities. However, the long-term changes described are mild and the question whether blind or deaf people develop enhanced capacities of their remain…

Sensory Processing in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in the Home and Classroom Contexts.

2017

Children with neurodevelopmental disorders often show impairments in sensory processing (SP) and higher functions. The main objective of this study was to compare SP, praxis and social participation (SOC) in four groups of children: ASD Group (n = 21), ADHD Group (n = 21), ASD+ADHD Group (n = 21), and Comparison Group (n = 27). Participants were the parents and teachers of these children who were 5-8 years old (M = 6.32). They completed the Sensory Processing Measure (SPM) to evaluate the sensory profile, praxis and SOC of the children in both the home and classroom contexts. In the home context, the most affected was the ASD+ADHD group. The ADHD group obtained higher scores than the ASD gr…

Analytical representation of bimodality in bivariate distribution of chain length and chemical composition of copolymers

2022

Abstract Tuning the bimodality of microstructural features in polymers has provided novel properties and applications. A classic example is to overcome the trade-off between processability and mechanical properties in polyolefins. A recent example is to decrease the interfacial tension in blending incompatible polymers. Therefore, the development of a bimodality index (BI), especially for the chain length distribution (CLD) and the chemical composition distribution (CCD), is crucial for the quantitative design of materials. This study introduces quantitative expressions for the bimodality of univariate CLD on the linear scale, and CCD. Moreover, we develop a bimodality criterion for bivaria…

Exploring web-mediated communication: A genre-based linguistic study for new patterns of doctor–patient interaction in online environment

2016

This paper questions the nature of the communicative event that takes place in online contexts between doctors and web-users, showing computer-mediated linguistic norms and discussing the nature of the participants’ roles. Based on an analysis of 1005 posts occurring between doctors and the users of health service websites, I analyse how doctor–patient communication is affected by the medium and how health professionals overcome issues concerning the virtual medical visit. Results suggest that (a) online medical answers offer a different service from that expected by users, as doctors cannot always fulfill patient requests, and (b) net consultations use aspects of traditional doctor–patient…

Influenza del diverso interramento di una cover crop (Veccia/Avena) sui bioindicatori della qualità del suolo

2007

Nella presente ricerca è stato valutato l’effetto delle diverse modalità di interramento di una cover crop (consociazione veccia/avena) su alcuni bioindicatori della qualità del suolo. L’area di studio è situata in Sambuca di Sicilia (AG), su suoli (Typic Haploxerepts) a vigneto, con tessitura argillosa, pH neutro e pendenza media del 10%. L’interramento della biomassa vegetale è stato effettuato con tre diverse modalità: erpicatura (E), fresatura (F) e sfalcio (S). Il campionamento dei suoli è stato eseguito a 2 diverse profondità (0-20 cm; 20-40 cm) dopo circa un mese dall’interramento; contemporaneamente, è stato campionato un suolo contiguo gestito con tecniche colturali tradizionali (T…
