Semantics driven interaction using natural language in students tutoring

2007

The aim of this work is to introduce a semantic integration between an ontology and a chatbot in an Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) to interact with students using natural language. The interaction process is driven by the use of a purposely defined ontology. In the ontology two types of conceptual relations are defined. Besides the usual relations, which are used to define the domain's structure, another type of relation is used to define the navigation schema inside the ontology according to the need of managing uncertainty. Uncertainty level is related to student knowledge level about the involved concepts. In this work we propose an ITS for the Java programming language called TutorJ…

The inpatients are suffering from severe mental illness and might have been admitted to the unit against their will. The study has a qualitative design. Data were collected through a focus group interview with professionals and from written evaluations by patients and th…

Conflicting vocational identities and careers in the sector of tourism

2004

This article investigates the formation of vocational identities of workers in the sector of tourism in the Czech Republic, Greece and Spain. Major challenges and conflicts shape the sector of tourism as a particular labour space.

An active policy for social dialogue and the improv…

Labour Mobility in Construction: European Implications of the Laval un Partneri Dispute with Swedish Labour

2006

The accession to the European Union of new member states from central and eastern Europe, with weak trade union movements, poorly developed social dialogue and inferior working conditions, has been viewed as a threat to regulated labour standards in the EU-15. This article examines a high-profile labour dispute arising from the conditions of Latvian construction contract labour in Sweden. The dispute exposes weaknesses in the protective floor of minimum standards offered by the posted workers Directive. It also goes to the core of the debate about the preservation of a ‘European social model’ and the proposed Services Directive.

Pedagogia di comunità e pedagogie della liberazione

2014

Il tema trattato nel presente articolo riguarda il confronto tra la pedagogia di comunità e le pedagogie della liberazione, due approcci che sono accomunati dal desiderio di promuovere il risveglio collettivo di una nuova coscienza sociale e politica. Le due prospettive pedagogiche riaffermano entrambe i diritti di tutti gli esseri umani, anche degli esclusi, a divenire soggetti politici in grado di trasformare la società in direzione autenticamente democratica. Grazie alla lezione di grandi maestri come John Dewey, Paulo Freire e Aldo Capitini, la prassi educativa vissuta nei contesti comunitari genera la corresponsabilità democratica di tutti; la cura del bene comune e il rispetto non vio…
