Predicting storm-triggered debris flow events: application to the 2009 Ionian Peloritan disaster (Sicily, Italy)
2015
Abstract. The main assumption on which landslide susceptibility assessment by means of stochastic modelling lies is that the past is the key to the future. As a consequence, a stochastic model able to classify past known landslide events should be able to predict a future unknown scenario as well. However, storm-triggered multiple debris flow events in the Mediterranean region could pose some limits on the operative validity of such an expectation, as they are typically resultant of a randomness in time recurrence and magnitude and a great spatial variability, even at the scale of small catchments. This is the case for the 2007 and 2009 storm events, which recently hit north-eastern Sicily …
Estimation of synthetic flood design hydrographs using a distributed rainfall–runoff model coupled with a copula-based single storm rainfall generator
2014
Abstract. In this paper a procedure to derive synthetic flood design hydrographs (SFDH) using a bivariate representation of rainfall forcing (rainfall duration and intensity) via copulas, which describes and models the correlation between two variables independently of the marginal laws involved, coupled with a distributed rainfall–runoff model, is presented. Rainfall–runoff modelling (R–R modelling) for estimating the hydrological response at the outlet of a catchment was performed by using a conceptual fully distributed procedure based on the Soil Conservation Service – Curve Number method as an excess rainfall model and on a distributed unit hydrograph with climatic dependencies for the …
The digitalisation of early childhood education and the generational order in change? Tensions between early childhood educators and children in the …
2017
Viimeisten vuosien aikana päiväkodit ovat olleet nopean teknologisen muutoksen kohteena. Digitaaliset teknologiat, erityisesti tablettitietokoneet, ovat tulleet lyhyen ajan sisällä osaksi varhaiskasvatuksen arkea ja pedagogiikkaa. Artikkelissamme tuomme haastatteluaineiston avulla näkyville teknologian käytön aiheuttamia jännitteitä varhaiskasvatuksessa, kun sekä lapset että lastentarhanopettajat koettavat navigoida muuttuneessa teknologiaympäristössä yksin, yhdessä ja erikseen. Jännitteet vaikuttavat myös varhaiskasvatusinstituution sukupolvijärjestykseen, sillä teknologian äärellä lapset näyttäytyvät aikuisia osaavampana sukupolvena. Artikkeli nostaa näin esille digitaalisen teknologian k…
How the knowledge of interactions between meningococcus and the human immune system has been used to prepare effective Neisseria meningitidis vaccines
2015
In the last decades, tremendous advancement in dissecting the mechanisms of pathogenicity ofNeisseria meningitidisat a molecular level has been achieved, exploiting converging approaches of different disciplines, ranging from pathology to microbiology, immunology, and omics sciences (such as genomics and proteomics). Here, we review the molecular biology of the infectious agent and, in particular, its interactions with the immune system, focusing on both the innate and the adaptive responses. Meningococci exploit different mechanisms and complex machineries in order to subvert the immune system and to avoid being killed. Capsular polysaccharide and lipooligosaccharide glycan composition, in…
UNA APROXIMACIÓN AL CAUDILLAJE Y LA REPRESENTACIÓN POLÍTICA EN FRANCISCO JAVIER CONDE. 1942-1945.
2012
RESUMEN. El presente trabajo pretende analizar sumariamente la producción filosófico-política de Francisco Javier Conde en relación con el alzamiento militar de 1936, la representación política y, principalmente, el caudillaje. La intención es dar cuenta del pensamiento del autor en los años inmediatamente posteriores al conflicto civil español, apuntando las principales incongruencias internas y la falta de rigor histórico de sus postulados. El interés de analizar a un autor tan lejano en el tiempo reside en la importancia que Conde y otros autores como Legaz Lacambra o Corts Grau tuvieron en la legitimación filosófico-jurídica de un estado totalitario que duró casi 40 años. ABSTRACT. This…
Impacto de la implementación de un modelo ecoformativo a través de proyectos estratégicos : el caso de la Universidad Castro Carazo (Costa Rica)
2020
La Universidad Castro Carazo ha adoptado un modelo educativo de ecoformación desde el año 2016. Para esto, ha sido necesaria la incorporación de buenas prácticas y estrategias de innovación pedagógica y curricular, como parte integral de sus procesos educativos y administrativos. En este artículo se detallan las prácticas y estrategias más relevantes: el diseño e implementación de un programa de especialización en docencia universitaria, la inauguración de un laboratorio de aprendizaje para el fomento del aprendizaje mediante la fabricación digital, los multientornos, y los mapas conceptuales, así como el fortalecimiento de un equipo de innovación curricular. Estos procesos disruptivos han …
Multimodal discourse strategies of factuality and subjectivity in educational digital storytelling
2012
As new technologies continue to emerge, students and lecturers are provided with new educational tools. One such tool, which is increasingly used in higher education, is digital storytelling, i.e. multi-media digital narratives. Despite the increasing attention that education and media scholars have paid to digital storytelling, there is scant research examining digital narratives from a discourseanalytic perspective. This paper addresses this gap in the literature and, in line with the belief that individuals make meaning through a range of semiotic devices, including, among others, language, sound, graphics and text, it aims to examine discourse strategies of factuality and subjectivity i…
Relatos digitales un género de expresión personal mediatizada: introducción
2012
This article provides a critical review of some of the most relevant studies on digital storytelling and proposes a genre typology that allows an initial classification of digital storytelling into two main types: educational and social. Digital storytelling is a multimodal emergent genre characterised by its versatility and flexibility which has resulted in a series of subgenres. However, the main premise here is that differentiating between social and educational– although one does not exclude the other– and bearing in mind that most digital stories may lie at the intersection of both, is the most useful way to start labeling the massive production of digital stories available nowadays on…
Investigating the professional agency of secondary school English teachers in South Korea
2020
This qualitative study examines the professional agency of secondary English teachers in Midwestern South Korea. Specifically, it investigates how secondary English teachers in South Korea understand their professional agency and what mediates their professional agency. The ecological approach in this study recognises that agency encompasses both individual and environmental dimensions and is formed through the constant interplay between the individual and the environment. The dataset for this study comprises 15 semi-structured interviews with secondary English teachers in South Korea. The thematic analysis highlights a significant gap between Korean English teachers’ espoused agency and re…
Coleccionismo de arte, museos y procesos de legitimación artística. Estudio de caso del Museo Lladró.
2015
El artículo estudia el caso de la creación de la colección pictórica de la empresa de producción de cerámica Lladró. Se investiga la relación que se establece entre la elección de estas obras y el período cronológico que abarcan. Explicamos la relación entre la pintura valenciana y las piezas de porcelana comercializadas por la empresa. Analizamos cómo la práctica coleccionista de la empresa responde a una estrategia de posicionamiento jerárquico de sus productos, para que sean identificados y valorados como obras de arte y no como objetos industriales, decorativos o kitsch. Todo ello facilita el análisis de las formas de funcionamiento de la cultura visual contemporánea y sus relaciones co…
