Multi-objective optimisations for a superscalar architecture with selective value prediction

2012

This work extends an earlier manual design space ex ploration of our developed Selective Load Value Pre diction based superscalar architecture to the L2 unified cache. A fter that we perform an automatic design space expl oration using a special developed software tool by varying several architectural parameters. Our goal is to find optim al configurations in terms of CPI (Cycles per Instruction) and energy consumption. By varying 19 architectural parameter s, as we proposed, the design space is over 2.5 millions of billions configurations which obviously means that only heuristic search can be considered. Therefore, we propose dif ferent methods of automatic design space exploratio n based…

Mathematics education and learning disabilities in Spain.

2004

In the first part of this article, we describe the basic objectives of the math curriculum in Spain as well as the basic contents, teacher resources, and obstacles perceived in mathematics instruction. Second, we briefly describe the concept of learning disabilities (LD) as they are currently defined in Spain. As stated in the recent educational reform, a student with LD is any student with special educational needs. The emphasis is placed on the educational resources that these students need in order to achieve the curricular objectives that correspond to their age group or grade. Third, we comment specifically on the educational services model and the evaluation and instructional procedu…

Facing EL teachers' burnout through motivation

2019

The educational institutions in many countries are faced with the  major problem of teacher burnout causing  high rates of  attrition and absenteeism. There is widespread agreement among researchers that  teacher burnout can effectively be countered through emphasis on  teacher motivation.  This article is about a 2-year qualitative research carried out by an English language teacher who focused on how to cope successfully with potential burnout conditions through a mutually reinforcing cycle of teacher and student motivation activated by the implementation of a Postmethod  emotion-focused pedagogical framework and the emphasis on the quality of life in the English classroom.

Scripted Collaboration and Group‐Based Variations in a Higher Education CSCL Context

2009

Scripting student activities is one way to make Computer‐Supported Collaborative Learning more efficient. This case study examines how scripting guided student group activities and also how different groups interpreted the script; what kinds of roles students adopted and what kinds of differences there were between the groups in terms of their activities. Seven small groups of higher education students participated in the study. According to the findings, scripting enhanced collaboration and ensured that all groups were able to complete the task, but despite the script the groups' activities varied during the task and the script could not guarantee any “high‐level” participation by all stud…

Instructional factors and over-education of university graduates

2015

The aim of this work is to test the role of the level of generic competences developed during University studies and the professional and practice orientation of instruction (PPOI) in the prediction of graduates’ initial vertical fit and vertical fit change over an 8-year period. The study sample comprised 334 graduates who finished their degrees two years before they were interviewed for the first time (Time 1). Four and eight years later they were interviewed again (Times 2 and 3, respectively). All of them had employment at Time 1, 2 and 3. Hypotheses were tested by means of Latent Growth Curve Analyses. Contrary to our expectations only PPOI was positive and significantly related to gra…

ICT – the new frontier? Pushing the boundaries of careers practice

2014

Much progress has been made in integrating information and communications technology ICT into careers practice, but there is still room for improvement. An international lens is adopted to examine some key elements that contribute to the successful integration of information communications technology (ICT) into careers practice. We start by exploring the role of policy, using the UK as a case study. Next, the perceptions that Finnish career practitioners have of ICT are reviewed using research findings into the different ways they think about social media and its purpose in career services. Finally, lessons learned from the design and integration of online services within career development…

The Expansion of English-medium Instruction in the Nordic Countries.Can Top-Down University Language Polices Encourage Bottom-up Disciplinary Literac…

2015

Recently, in the wake of the Bologna Declaration and similar internationalinitiatives, there has been a rapid increase in the number of university courses and programmestaught through the medium of English. Surveys have consistently shown theNordic countries to be at the forefront of this trend towards English-medium instruction(EMI). In this paper, we discuss the introduction of EMI in four Nordic countries (Denmark,Finland, Norway and Sweden). We present the educational setting and the EMIdebate in each of these countries and summarize relevant research findings. We then makesome tentative suggestions for the introduction of EMI in higher education in othercountries. In particular, we are…

Paul Bert et l'instruction publique

2001

Paul Bert (1833-1886) a été professeur de physiologie à la Sorbonne, membre de l'Académie des sciences, député républicain, ministre de l'Instruction publique et des Cultes du gouvernement Gambetta, et résident général au Tonkin et en Annam. Il a participé à tous les degrés de la réforme de l'enseignement, et a surtout été avec Jules Ferry, le fondateur de l'école gratuite, laïque et obligatoire. Partisan de la laïcité, il a lutté, au nom de la liberté de conscience, pour la suppression de l'enseignement religieux et l'introduction de l'instruction civique et morale. Ce combat de la laïcisation a été en même temps celui mené contre le cléricalisme. Il a également voulu fonder l'école de la …

La vocalidad del violín en el norte de Italia en torno a 1600

2021

Throughout the present research I intend to demonstrate the powerful link between the vocal practice in accompanied monody and the way Early Italian violin music ought to be interpreted. Due to the scarce amount of articulation and ornamentation in this music, I consider that historical criteria should be found in order to back up the subjective choices in its performance. According to this, I focus on reviewing sources that describe the vocal practice around 1600, but also contemporary sources in which we can find instructions addressed to bow instruments. Besides, a catalogue of articulations and ornamentations present in early editions of printed violin music is attached. Last, I comment…
