The significance of student voice: female students’ interpretations of failure in Tanzanian secondary education
2014
Abstract: In Tanzania, the national examinations are used as the primary tools for selection and transition from lower to upper secondary education. Female students are more likely to fail in the national exams and to drop out from education. This article examines the perspectives of female students concerning their advancement in secondary education. Two sets of qualitative data, responses to a research questionnaire from 100 female lower secondary school students and follow-up interviews with seven mature students enrolled in a non-formal school who had failed in the national examinations, were analysed to identify critical issues influencing the educational advancement of female students…
Digital rights management : blockchain and digital music content management
2017
Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena oli ymmärtää lohkoketjuteknologian vaikutuksia digitaalisen musiikin sisällönhallintaan hyödyntäen digitaalisten tekijänoikeuden hallintajärjestelmien (DRM) viitekehystä. Tutkielma sisälsi kolme tutkimuskysymystä: mitä digitaalisia tekijänoikeuden hallintajärjestelmien haasteita lohkoketjuteknologia voisi mahdollisesti ratkaista verrattuna edellisiin DRM-teknologioihin, miten lohkoketjuteknologia liittyy DRM:n aiempiin teknologisiin haasteisiin ja mitkä ovat lohkoketjuteknologian mahdolliset vaikutukset digitaalisen musiikin tekijänoikeuden hallintajärjestelmiin. Vastaukset tutkimuskysymyksiin perustuivat kirjallisuuskatsaukseen sekä puolistrukturoituihin teem…
Prowadzenie działalności gospodarczej jako podstawa wygaśnięcia mandatu radnego w świetle orzecznictwa sądowoadministracyjnego – wybrane problemy
2020
The paper presents the legal basis for the termination of a councillor’s mandate, which comes from general elections, in a situation when he finds out that he conducts business activity on the property or using the property of the commune in which he obtained the mandate. The positions of administrative courts expressed in this regard as a result of complaints about resolutions or supervisory decisions, by which the councillor’s mandate was terminated due to the premise of conducting business activity, were presented.
Prowadzenie działalności gospodarczej jako podstawa wygaśnięcia mandatu radnego w świetle orzecznictwa sądowoadministracyjnego – wybrane problemy
2020
W pracy przedstawiono podstawy prawne wygaszania mandatu radnego, pochodzącego z wyborów powszechnych, w sytuacji stwierdzenia prowadzenia przez niego działalności gospodarczej na mieniu czy też z wykorzystaniem mienia gminy, w której uzyskał mandat. Zaprezentowano stanowiska sądów administracyjnych wyrażone w tym przedmiocie wskutek skarg na uchwały lub rozstrzygnięcia nadzorcze, mocą których wygaszono mandat radnego z uwagi na przesłankę prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej
“To Own, or not to Own?” A multilevel analysis of intellectual property right policies' on academic entrepreneurship
2017
The political environment around universities has led them to create an infrastructure to manage academic inventions. While some consider that the advantages of a university entrepreneurial structure outweigh any potential negative effects, others question their detrimental effect on academic scientists’ entrepreneurial behavior. However, this debate remains unresolved as none of these two views have been fully empirically supported. Using multilevel models for a population of 2230 professors in 27 universities in Canada (82 individuals per unit on average), we test the effect of three features of institutional intellectual property right policy characteristics, namely, property rights (own…
EXPLORING THE OBSTACLES OF LATVIAN FOOD COMPANIES EXPORT TO CHINA
2016
As we know, China is the biggest trader in the world. European Commission has revealed that China has become the European Union (EU)`s second largest trading partner behind the United States, and EU is China`s biggest trading partner. This situation just proves the necessity of making good partnership with China, which is especially needed for such a small country as Latvia. The main export fields for Latvia are wood, metal, electrical devices and minerals. As the population of China is growing very fast, leading to more than one billion people in 2016 (increased for more than 41 million in last six years), the food market is in need of more and more products. Of course, Chinese market may …
Los procedimientos civiles para recuperar la posesión de inmuebles ocupados
2021
The purpose of this article is to analyse the differnt civil process of the Civil Procedure Law that can be used for the recovery of illegally occupied properties: eviction for precarious, injunction to recover possession and action action for the protection of registered property rights. Special attention is paid to the new procedure of rapid recovery of possession that has been created by Law 5/2018 amending the classic injunction to regain possession.
Brothers, sisters and the rearrangements of property on the Sicilian island of Stromboli in the nineteenth century
2010
This article focuses on property relationships among siblings, especially on sales and exchanges of land, houses and other items, on the small Sicilian island of Stromboli in the Aeolian archipelago during the nineteenth century. Stromboli's economy incorporated farming and seafaring activities. The ‘modular structure’ of houses and wealth was characterised by partible inheritance, with equal inheritance shares or endowments for both sons and daughters, which was permitted under the Civil Code of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Siblings therefore had the possibility of exchanging, assembling and disposing of shares through sales. For this reason sibling relations had a strong impact on the…
Comparison between the MHFEM formulation and a 2nd spatial order FV formulation of the linear groundwater flow problem
2008
Mixed and Mixed Hybrid Finite Elements (MHFE) methods have been widely used in the last decade for simulation of groundwater flow problem, petroleum reservoir problems, potential flow problems, etc. The main advantage of these methods is that, unlike the classical Galerkin approach, they guarantee local and global mass balance, as well the flux continuity between inter-element sides. The simple shape of the control volume, where the mass conservation is satisfied, makes also easier to couple this technique with a Finite Volume technique in the time splitting approach for the solution of advection-dispersion problems. In the present paper a new second spatial approximation order Finite Volum…
Enhancement of structural, functional and antioxidant properties of fish gelatin films using Maillard reactions
2018
International audience; This study investigates the effect of Maillard reactions (MR) on the physico-chemical and biological properties of fish gelatin based edible films. Glucose was incorporated in gelatin film forming solutions at different glucose/lysine molar ratios: 0.5/1.0, 1.0/1.0 and 5.0/1.0. The MR was then induced by heating films at 90 °C for 24 h in dry conditions. Color changes and browning index measurements were used to pursue the MR kinetic. Results showed that the development of MR products was dependent on the glucose content and on the reaction time. Mechanical and thermal properties of treated films displayed an increase in tensile strength, elongation at break and glas…
