The baculovirus display technology--an evolving instrument for molecular screening and drug delivery.
2008
High throughput screening is a core technology in drug discovery. During the past decade, several strategies have been developed to screen (poly)peptide libraries for diverse applications including disease diagnosis and profiling, imaging, as well as therapy. The recently established baculovirus display vector system (BDVS) represents a eukaryotic screening platform that combines the positive attributes of both cell and virus-based display approaches, allowing presentation of complex polypeptides on cellular and viral surfaces. Compared to microbial display systems, the BDVS has the advantage of correct protein folding and post-translational modifications similar to those in mammals, facili…
L’architettura gotica in Sicilia centro-orientale nelle perizie degli architetti d’età moderna
2018
L’ARCHITETTURA GOTICA IN SICILIA CENTRO-ORIENTALE NELLE PERIZIE DEGLI ARCHITETTI D’ETÀ MODERNA Il contributo si concentra sulla percezione e sulla valutazione da parte degli architetti siciliani d’età moderna di opere costruite sull’isola in età gotica. L’occasione del confronto emerge soprattutto dalle perizie redatte durante l’elaborazione di nuovi progetti (di ammodernamento, di completamento) che contemplano la salvaguardia o la distruzione delle strutture del passato. Le relazioni selezionate in questa occasione affrontano pertanto questioni di carattere prevalentemente estetico e di linguaggio, ma anche le ragioni inerenti alle strutture e quelle relative alle economie (di cantiere, d…
Designing and Evaluating Online Language Learning Materials for Higher Education
2011
Nowadays, finding, choosing and developing or adapting materials is a very important component of education as well as a key element for the success of the whole learning process. A language teacher is also a materials developer and the materials development process should aim at ensuring that local needs and wants do not dictate decisions and that important learning principles are not forgotten. In the case of materials for Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), a very thorough and pedagogically-sound set of guidelines should be followed prior to the design of the materials. Following that, a careful evaluation should take place so as to guarantee that those guidelines have been follo…
Assessing Effects of eGovernment Initiatives Based on a Public Value Framework
2012
Published version of a chapter in the book: Electronic Government. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33489-4_21 Assessing effects of eGovernment initiatives is considered an important but challenging endeavor. Assessments are, among other things, important to justify e-government investments. They are challenging because they are complex, often based on locally defined indicators, many times over-emphasizing financial effects, imprecise, faced with a number of contingencies and very seldom validated. Consequently, effect assessments can be seen as imprecise and difficult to compare across different initiatives. This paper addresses some of the challen…
Multiple constituency evaluation in sport policy
2004
AbstractThe purpose of this study is to show, how the evaluation process worked, when evaluation method was the multiple constituency evaluation procedure. The research material was Finnish state government’s platform during the years 1995-2003 and also government’s sport policy impacts to Sport Policy in European Union. The goal and objective of modern evaluation research in Sport Policy is to chart, or even call into question, societal functions and programmes. Policy-analytical evaluation research has in Sport Policy been characterised as being too goal oriented, which causes problems when adapting set goals into concrete assessment criteria, especially in the evaluation of public activi…
Análisis de las calificaciones compartidas en la modalidad participativa de la evaluación colaborativa entre docente y estudiantes
2020
Current trends in educational assessment in different branches of higher education share the common goal of uniting learning with assessment. Most approaches and theoretical and practical developments in this field revolve around four main factors: feedback, democratization, alignment and relevance. This paper proposes the use of co-assessment as a means of ensuring dialogue-based, democratic and fairer evaluations. With co-assessment, the responsibility is shared by the teacher and the students, who negotiate and agree on the appraisal of student tasks and, in this paper, also on the awarded mark. The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between a series of jointly agreed marks…
Effects of leflunomide on immune responses and models of inflammation.
1993
Leflunomide is an antiphlogistic and immunomodulating agent that has been shown to be effective in preventing and healing autoimmune disorders and reactions leading to organ graft rejection. From our preliminary clinical data [4], we now have hopes that these effects, observed in experimental animals, can truly be transferred to humans. Although we are far from understanding the mode of action of leflunomide, we are slowly gathering some insight. A good many of the immunosuppressive effects of leflunomide can be attributed to the antagonistic effects it has on responses to many cytokines, most likely through receptor expression and signal transduction (tyrosine kinase inhibition). The inhib…
Initial French language teacher education policy in Greece and curriculum evaluation among student teachers of FLE
2015
This paper presents initial language teacher education policy adopted in Greece and describes a study which examines student teachers’ of FLE (Français Langue Étrangère) perception of their initial teacher education and its contribution to their future professional life. The sample comprised 67 student teachers in their fourth year of studies for a bachelor degree in the department of French language and literature in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece. Data were collected through questionnaires which included both a structured and an open-ended part. The questionnaire’s content was based on the European Profile for Language Teacher Education — a Frame of Reference (Kelly et…
Self-regulated learning and formative assessment process on group work
2020
This study aimed to design and implement a formative assessment context for a group assignment. This setting is based on self-regulated learning, the beneficial practices exposed in the literature and the challenges for the next decade. We carried out quantitative research using two questionnaires to measure self-regulated learning skills and the way of working as a group. The participants were 88 students getting a degree in Sports Sciences. Results showed that the reported way of working in groups has no impact on performance. Furthermore, higher self-regulation in their learning style and the use of assessment criteria led to higher performance. We did not find any differences regarding …
Vorschläge zur Evaluation regulärer Psychotherapien an Hochschulambulanzen im Sinne der Phase-IV-Therapieforschung
2011
Zusammenfassung. Durch den Aufbau psychotherapeutischer Hochschulambulanzen an Universitätsinstituten ist in den letzten Jahren ein enormes Potenzial für die naturalistische Phase-IV-Therapieforschung entstanden. Viele Ambulanzen haben ein System zur kontinuierlichen Evaluation der Behandlungen eingeführt. Das methodische Vorgehen dabei ist jedoch heterogen und erscheint mehr von den lokalen Möglichkeiten als von übergeordneten wissenschaftlichen Überlegungen bestimmt. Dies betrifft die Organisation der Datenerhebung, die Definition des „Produkts Psychotherapie” sowie die Auswertung und Präsentation der Daten. Ein Vergleich zwischen den Ambulanzen und die Zusammenführung von Datensätzen zu…
