'REOFUT' as an Observation Tool for Tactical Analysis on Offensive Performance in Soccer: Mixed Method Perspective
2019
Performance analysis in complex sports like soccer requires the study of the influence of the interaction between both teams during the game on final performance. The mixed methods approach involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of qualitative and quantitative data for the same purpose and within the framework of the same study. To build certain observation tools, mixed methods are necessary in order to take advantage of integration between qualitative and quantitative elements. The aim of this study was to develop a new no standard observation tool to analyze soccer offensive performance considering not only the observed team but also some aspects of the opponent behavior, a…
The Rocky Road of Growing into Contemporary Citizenship: Dewey, Gramsci, and the Method of Democracy
2015
Characterized by globalization, increasing pluralism, and new complexities of citizenship, the contemporary world poses challenges to the ways in which we conceptualize of the processes of searching for shared solutions to ever-complicated social problems. While the political rhetoric emphasizes the value of citizens’ participation, engagement, and “voices,” there are increasing feelings of frustration, incapacity, and disinterest on behalf of the citizens regarding the supposed eff ects of their political engagement. In order to conceptually grasp the problem of searching for shared solutions and the related challenges to education, we draw on John Dewey’s idea of the method of democracy a…
Yrittäjätaiteilijat vapauden, luovuuden ja toimeentulon rajapinnoilla
2021
Keskitymme artikkelissamme nuorten (alle 35-vuotiaiden), taiteilijoina toimivien yrittäjien ja freelancereiden näkemyksiin omasta työstään, työolosuhteistaan ja tuloistaan. Aineistonamme on Kulttuuripolitiikan edistämissäätiön ja Taiteen edistämiskeskuksen keräämä Nuoret taiteentekijät ‑kyselyaineisto vuodelta 2018 (n = 565). Erotimme aineistosta artikkelimme otokseksi yrittäjien ja freelancereiden (n = 209) edellä mainittuja asioita koskevat vastaukset. Käytämme heistä yhteisnimitystä yrittäjätaiteilijat. Tutkimme eri tekijöiden vaikutuksia yrittäjätaiteilijoiden työtyytyväisyyteen suorien jakaumien sekä ristiintaulukointien ja niitä koskevien riippumattomuustestien ja korrelaatiokertoimie…

THE IMPACT OF TAX COMPETITION AND HARMONISATION IN THE EU IN RELATION TO FISCAL OPTIMISATION
2018
Fiscal competition and harmonisation are topical issues and the controversy generated by preferences for one or the other is due to the effects they generate in the economies of the EU member states. The practice of tax competition to a smaller or larger extent by some of the Member States is often identified with tax optimisation practices. Thus, in the economies of developed or emerging countries, the effects are both on the labour market, in the collection of indirect taxes (VAT or excise duties), but also in the transfer of profits versus transfer prices. The European fora are working hard for the uniformity of European legislation, but also to determine the governments of the Member St…
Additions to terrestrial flora of Tunisia: occurrence and taxonomic notes
2020
We document new records of 11 vascular taxa. Some were found in the wild for the first time and, therefore, are new reports to terrestrial flora of Tunisia. One species, Ranunculus acris L., is reported for the first time for North Africa. Parietaria cretica L. is confirmed for North Africa. Details about the distribution and habitats of the 11 species are provided, and comments on their status and taxonomy are included.
MOCSE Centered on Students: Validation of Learning Demands and Teacher Support Scales
2020
Based on The Educational Situation Quality Model (MOCSE, acronym in Spanish) framework, the primary objective of this study is to test the factorial validity and reliability of two MOCSE measure instruments referred to the preactional-decisional phase, specifically to learning demands and teacher supports perceived by students to overcome such demands in the classroom context. The participants were 357 Spanish undergraduate students. The data obtained by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the “Learning Demands Scale” (MOCSE-LDS) has a two-factor structure: perceived desirability and feasibility of demands. The data also revealed that the “Teacher Support Questionnair…
Attitudes, Sentiments, and Concerns About Inclusive Education of Teachers and Teaching Students in Spain.
2020
The Sentiments, Attitudes, and Concerns About Inclusive Education Revised scale was developed to close the existing gap in measuring perceptions of inclusive education in the educative context. It has been widely used in other cultures but not in Spain. Our objective has been to analyze the psychometric properties in the Spanish sample by studying their relationship with empathy and social dominance variables, finally taking into account sociodemographic variables to observe if there are differences. The scale was applied to a total of 647 subjects: 323 university-students (18–45 years) and 324 in-service teachers (35–58 years). The scale showed psychometric properties suitable for the gene…

Äänekäs luokka : tehdastyöväen menneisyyden ja muistitiedon jäljillä
2019
Suomessa työväenluokka syntyi noin sata vuotta sitten sosiaaliseksi, poliittiseksi ja kulttuuriseksi ilmiöksi. Uusien työn muotojen lisäksi palkkatyötä tekevät ihmiset ja yhteiskuntaluokat ovat yhä olemassa. Yhteiskunta myös toisintaa molempia jatkuvasti. Mutta vähälle huomiolle on jäänyt, millaisia ääniä, jälkiä ja tulkintoja työväenluokka on jättänyt menneisyydestään. Tehdastyöläisiä pidetään tässä artikkelissa tietyn luokan edustajina, joilla on vankka kuva itsestään ja menneisyydestään. Luokka-asema toisin sanoen on artikkelissa despriptiivinen eli eletty, koettu ja moniääninen. Se ei siis ole vain tutkijoiden määrittelemä tai luokkatutkimuksen mukainen käsite. Tekstissä sen sijaan eksp…
