The Role of Social and Collaborative Networks in the Development of in-House Multimedia Language Learning Materials

2012

The development of in-house language learning materials has being going on for many decades. In the past, it was difficult for language teachers worldwide to share their in-house materials with other teachers, and so was having access to the materials developed by others. This often produced a feeling of isolation and, very frequently, provoked a duplication of efforts and a bigger investment of time. However, thanks to the Web 2.0 teachers and practitioners worldwide can communicate with each other and share experiences and materials. While this aspect of the so-called Social Web has being successfully exploded in the past few decades, especially in the case of online communities of teache…

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…

Internal vs. external R&D teams: Evidences from the Italian wine industry

2021

R&D teams' internationalization attracts interests from different research-streams. However, the decision on what type of R&D structure is more convenient to invest in may differ, based on several factors, such as risk-taking propensity and internal resource availability. With an aim to enrich the extant literature and to provide practical insights for managers working in the wine industry, this case study explores the determinants of an Italian family-owned winery that attempts to keep a balance between its internal and external R&D teams' decision, using an integrated theoretical framework based on the transaction costs and the resource-based view theory. The optimal R&D s…

Analysis of multipactor RF breakdown in a waveguide containing a transversely magnetized ferrite

2016

In this paper, the multipactor RF breakdown in a parallel-plate waveguide partially filled with a ferrite slab magnetized normal to the metallic plates is studied. An external magnetic field is applied along the vertical direction between the plates in order to magnetize the ferrite. Numerical simulations using an in-house 3-D code are carried out to obtain the multipactor RF voltage threshold in this kind of structures. The presented results show that the multipactor RF voltage threshold at certain frequencies becomes considerably lower than for the corresponding classical metallic parallel-plate waveguide with the same vacuum gap

Instructors' Competence for Enhancing Quality of In-House Training in Maritime Education

2015

<p class="IATED-Affiliation">Improving instructors’ competence will enhance quality of maritime in-house training (IHT). The research question of this study was: what are the main features of a competent IHT instructor? A mixed-method study using interviews and a questionnaire was conducted among three groups of respondents: 1) safety managers, vetting and technical managers; 2) IHT instructors, and 3) seafarers (including masters, chief engineers, officers and ratings). Professionals of the field were involved in interpretation of results and in elaboration of the recommendations for enhancing quality of IHT.</p><p class="normal"> </p>

In-house princips Eiropas Savienības tiesībās

2015

In-house izņēmuma vieta ES tiesības ir neskaidra. Vai princips, kas formāli izriet no publiskā iepirkuma tiesībām ir skatāms gan ES konkurences tiesību, gan valsts atbalsta konspektā? Situāciju vēl vairāk sarežģī in-house izņēmuma attiecības ar citu specifisku ES tiesību nozari - vispārējas tautsaimniecības nozares pakalpojumiem. In-house būtībā atļauj nerīkot publisko iepirkumu situācijā, kad tas būtu normāli jādara, ja tikai pašvaldībai vai iestādei ir iespējas publisko līgumu uzticēt sev piederošam uzņēmumam. Tādā veidā var tikt apiets brīvais tirgus un konkurence kā tāda, kas noteikti nav vēlams pasākums ilgtermiņā. Darbā tika noteikts, regulējuma apjoms, kas attiecas un in-house izņēmu…

Società in house e crisi d’impresa alla luce dell’art. 14 TUSP

2021

The article analyzes the content of Article 14 TUSP (i.e. the Italian Law on Publicly Owned Companies), affirming its applicability also to in-house companies. Particular attention is paid to the regulation of the recovery / restructuring plans mentioned therein and to the interrelationships existing between the latter and the similar (but different) institution of the “certified recovery plans” mentioned by the current Article 67, paragraph 3, lett. d), Bankruptcy Law. Further considerations are addressed to the possibility that theabovementioned recovery plan contemplates the sale of the public shareholdings held by the parent company in the in-house company. Finally, a concise concluding…

Le società in house nel quadro della nozione europea e nazionale di impresa di gruppo

2020

L’articolo si propone di ricostruire in chiave sistematica il concetto di “società in house” nell’ambito del quadro della nozione europea e nazionale di impresa di gruppo. Ricondurre la relazione in house ad un rapporto di gruppo tra due o più imprese dovrebbe comportare, in prima battuta, l’applicazione della cd. single economic entity doctrine e delle sue ricadute in ambito concorrenziale, fra le quali acquista particolare rilievo la potenziale imputazione delle sanzioni antitrust all’ente pubblico capogruppo per le infrazioni compiute dalle società eterodirette. Nell’ordinamento giuridico nazionale, inoltre, la sostanziale convergenza tra il tipo di controllo alla base dell’in house prov…

Publiskā iepirkuma un valsts atbalsta regulējumu problemātika Eiropas Savienības tiesībās

2017

Attiecības starp publiskā iepirkuma un valsts atbalsta regulējumiem ES tiesības ir neskaidra. Vai praksē visos gadījumos darbojas nostiprinātā prezumpcija, ka atbilstoši ES publiskā iepirkuma direktīvām organizēts iepirkums izslēdz iespēju, ka tiks piešķirts valsts atbalsts? Situāciju vēl vairāk sarežģī, tas ka valsts atbalsta regulējuma kontekstā ir aplūkojams arī vispārējas tautsaimnieciskas nozīmes pakalpojumu institūts ES tiesībās. Ja tiek norādīts, ka atbilstoši ES normatīvajiem aktiem rīkots publiskais iepirkums izslēdz valsts atbalsta iespējamību, vai gadījumā ja publiskais iepirkums rīkots neatbilstoši iepirkuma direktīvām būtu prezumējams valsts atbalsts? Darbā tika analizēta ES no…
