Proposal of a Modelling of the Innovation Process in an International Manufacturing Company

2017

Nowadays, to cope with the competition, and to ensure the durability of their activities, companies have to be able to innovate. Manufacturing companies operating in a B2B market often perceive innovation as a technological result. However, innovation is often more characterized as a process. The needs of the users, and not only the technology, can achieve innovation. In this context, our paper intends to determine how to involve better the users in the innovation process of an international manufacturing company, which is, according to us, representative of the current manufacturing companies. The aim of our research paper is to help manufacturing companies to manage innovation led by user…

Le cyberplagiat dans le cadre de l’éducation supérieure espagnole : explorer les causes pour atteindre des solutions concrètes

2018

Ce travail présente une révision théorique sur le concept de cyberplagiat, ainsi que les facteurs qui incitent à tomber dans cette pratique. L’étude propose, ensuite, quelques mesures visant la détection et la prévention de ce phénomène dont les professeurs et les institutions académiques devraient tenir compte pour faire prendre conscience aux étudiants de l’importance de l’originalité des travaux qu’ils présentent. Ainsi, le besoin d’une gestion responsable de l’information disponible en ligne permettant d’atteindre la maturité intellectuelle au niveau académique pour l’appliquer, par la suite, dans le milieu professionnel s’impose. Ces réflexions nous permettront de conclure que, même si…

The Agency and Practical Learning of a Lay Advocate in Seventeenth-Century Helsinki : The Case of Gabriel Abrahamsson

2018

This chapter discusses seventeenth-century Sweden, where academically trained advocates and procurators emerged but attempts of advocacy monopoly failed. The case of Gabriel Abrahamsson—a son of a pastor, a former cavalryman and farmer, and, later on, a lower-level civil servant in Helsinki—proves that no specific privileged status or academic education was needed for advocacy in lower courts. The tradition to use any reasonable man as a legal representative continued, and trusted men from various social backgrounds with self-acquired legal skills acted as lay advocates. Gabriel learned law by doing. His voluminous private and office litigation enabled him to act increasingly as a legal rep…

Multimodāli teksti latviešu valodas apguvē: zināšanām, prasmēm, emocijām

2018

Rakstam ir divas daļas: teorētiskā un praktiskā daļa. Teorētiskajā daļā es skaidrošu, kas ir izglītojošā semiotika (edusemiotics) un kā tajā tiek definēta mūsdienu sabiedrībai atbilstoša izglītība un zīmju loma mācību procesā un vispārējās dzīves pieredzes gūšanā. Tad pavisam īsi formulēšu, kas ir multimodāli teksti un kā tie aplūkojami mācību procesa kontekstā. Savukārt praktiskajā daļā es piedāvāšu tēmas “Dalīšanās ar mīlestību” izvērsumu 7.–9. klasei. Tēmas apguvē ir paredzēti autentiski teksti ar verbālas un vizuālas informācijas apvienojumu: grafiti teksti, tīmeklī populārās mēmes, emuāri un video reklāma, arī tradicionālāki teksti, piemēram: dzeja, ziņu portālu informatīvie teksti, vē…

Len’ka Panteleev and the traditions of Van’ka Kain: Criminal Biography in XXth Century Russia

2017

The Fighter against the myth, or the memoirist who considers himself a Hercules (Anton Pavlovich Chekhov: an attempt at a characterization by N.M. Ezhov). The vast corpus about the 1920s Petrograd bandit Len’ka Panteleev, comprised of different texts – such as newspaper articles, fiction, film and song, with a complex and often ambiguous interplay between factual accounts and fictional adaptation – seems untypical for the era. A useful term of comparison is the similar corpus concerning the 18th century Moscow rogue Van’ka Kain. The latter shows all the typical features of 18th century criminal biographies, which at the time were popular throughout Europe. According to Michel Foucault, this…

Investigating the effectiveness of a digital game-based task on the acquisition of word knowledge

2020

This study investigates the probable effect of a digital game-based vocabulary learning (DGBVL) task on the acquisition of some components of a word knowledge framework. In so doing, 124 Persian speakers (56 males and 68 females) were randomly assigned to either a control or an experimental group. The experimental group participants completed a DGBVL task for acquiring ten low-frequent inanimate object names, or lexical nouns, by playing a commercial adventure game. The control group participants practiced the same words in a fill-in-the-blank vocabulary acquisition exercise. In brief, first, all participants sat for a word-checklist and a proficiency test; next, they completed their tasks,…

Policy is what happens while you’re busy doing something else: introduction to special issue on “language” indexing higher education policy

2016

Traditionally, language has had three functions in higher education. It has been seen as a medium of teaching; as a means of archiving knowledge in different text depositories like books and libraries; and as an object of theoretical study (Brumfit 2004, 164). Brumfit’s typology acknowledges the fact that language somehow crosses the everyday experience of everyone working, studying or otherwise engaged at universities—in other words, in knowledge production. In recent years, however, two major trends in higher education policies have challenged Brumfit’s classification and called for attention to language in a new way: internationalization and globalization policies on the one hand, and kn…
