Minerva y la reformulación de la masculinidad en "Cristalián de España" de Beatriz Bernal
2010
La literatura artúrica exhibe, por lo general, no sólo una visión patriarcal de las relaciones sociales, políticas y amorosas sino también una perspectiva masculinista de los personajes. Esta representación narrativa resalta el poder, protagonismo y virilidad de los héroes masculinos y, en contrapartida, la fragilidad y pasividad de los personajes femeninos. Este convencional patrón narrativo, no obstante, es reinventado y reformulado en el libro de caballerías Historia de los invictos y magnánimos caballeros don Cristalián de España, Príncipe de Trapisonda, y del Infante Lucescanio su hermano, hijos del famosísimo Emperador Lindedel de Trapisonda, compuesto en castellano por la autora Beat…
Multi-agent control architecture for RFID cyberphysical robotic systems initial validation of tagged objects detection and identification using Playe…
2016
International audience; The objective of this paper is to describe and validate a multi-agent architecture proposed to control RFID Cyber-Physical Robotic Systems. This environment may contain human operators, robots (mobiles, manipulators, mobile manipulators, etc.), places (workrooms, walls, etc.) and other objects (tables, chairs, etc.). The proposed control architecture is composed of two types of agents dispatched on two levels. We find at the Organization level a Supervisory agent to allow operators to configure, manage and interact with the overall control system. At the Control level, we distinguish the Robots agents, to each robot (mobiles, manipulators or mobile manipulators) is a…
Embedding Preschool Assessment Methods into Digital Learning Games to Predict Early Reading Skills
2017
The aim of this pilot study was to explore the predictive accuracy of computer-based assessment tasks (embedded within the GraphoLearn digital learning game platform) in identifying slow and normal readers. The results were compared to those obtained from the traditional paper-and-pencil tasks currently used to assess school readiness in Finland. The data were derived from a cohort of preschool-age children (mean age 6.7 years, N = 57) from a town in central Finland. A year later, at the end of first grade, participants were categorized as either slow (n = 11) or normal readers (n = 46) based on their reading scores. Logistic regression analyses indicated that computer tasks were as efficie…
Literacy Skills and Online Research and Comprehension : Struggling Readers Face Difficulties
2019
The present study evaluated the extent to which literacy skills (reading fluency, written spelling, and reading comprehension), together with nonverbal reasoning, prior knowledge, and gender, are related to students’ online research and comprehension (ORC) performance. The ORC skills of 426 sixth graders were measured using a Finnish adaptation of the Online Research and Comprehension Assessment. Results of a structural equation model showed that these ORC skills were divided into six highly correlated factors, and that they formed a common factor in ORC. Altogether, these predictor variables explained 57% of the variance in ORC. Reading comprehension, along with gender, was the strongest p…
Readers’ Theater Projects for Special Education : A Randomized Controlled Study
2022
A randomized controlled trial was conducted to study the effectiveness of two readers’ theater (RT) programs in promoting reading skills and motivation of dysfluent readers in Grades 3–4. One program (RT Goal) included a goal of preparing a performance for an audience (n = 50), while another program (RT Practice) did not include such a goal (n = 49). A group of dysfluent readers receiving traditional oral reading intervention (Control group; n = 59) and a group of classroom peers (Mainstream group; n = 159) served as controls. The results indicate that both RT groups and the Control group developed at a higher rate in oral reading speed during the intervention period than the Mainstream gro…
Liikunta- ja hyvinvointiblogien merkitys lukijoidensa arjessa
2017
Tämän pro gradu –tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää liikunta- ja hyvinvointiblogien merkitystä blogien lukijoille. Tutkimus antoi tietoa muun muassa siitä, millaisin motiivein lukijat lukevat liikunta- ja hyvinvointiblogeja sekä millaisia konkreettisia ideoita he ovat blogeista saaneet ja toteuttaneet. Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin lyhyesti myös blogien merkitystä lukijoiden ravinto- ja liikuntakäyttäytymiseen. Tutkimukseen osallistui yhteensä 486 vastaajaa. Tutkimus oli määrällinen tutkimus ja tutkimusaineisto kerättiin verkkokyselylomakkeen avulla. Kyselylomakkeeseen johtavaa linkkiä jaettiin yhteistyöblogeissa viikon ajan, minkä jälkeen aineistoa analysoitiin IBM SPSS 20 –ohjelman avull…
