Some thoughts about the conceptual / procedural distinction in translation: a key-logging and eye-tracking study of processing effort
2014
This article builds on the conceptual / procedural distinction postulated by Relevance Theory to investigate processing effort in translation task execution. Drawing on relevance-theoretic assumptions, it assumes that instances related to procedural encodings will require more effortful processing not only in relation to the time spent on the task but also in terms of product indicators such as seconds per word and number of micro translation units per word. Drawing on key-logging and eye-tracking data, the article shows that there are statistically significant differences when conceptual and procedural encodings are analysed in selected areas of interest, with instances related to procedur…
Social media e comunicazione fatica: verso una tipologia delle pratiche in rete
2017
Social media and fatic communication: toward a typology of practices in the web. It is often said that the communicative functioning of social networks is based on the “fatic function” of language and, in general, of semiosis. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the conceptual meaning of this notion, returning to the fundamental authors who have coined it; and therefore to show its relationships with the referential function, on the one hand, and the expressive one, on the other. Hence, another aim of the paper is sketch a typology of facebook users, halfway between desire to share and self-construction project.
Does relevance matter to data mining research?
2008
Data mining (DM) and knowledge discovery are intelligent tools that help to accumulate and process data and make use of it. We review several existing frameworks for DM research that originate from different paradigms. These DM frameworks mainly address various DM algorithms for the different steps of the DM process. Recent research has shown that many real-world problems require integration of several DM algorithms from different paradigms in order to produce a better solution elevating the importance of practice-oriented aspects also in DM research. In this chapter we strongly emphasize that DM research should also take into account the relevance of research, not only the rigor of it. Und…
Entrepreneurial universities: A bibliometric analysis within the business and management domains
2021
Abstract This study presents a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications investigating entrepreneurial universities in the business and management fields. The authors collected 511 documents from the Web of Science and analysed them using Bibliometrix, an RStudio package for performance analysis and science mapping. The study aims to provide an overview of the evolution of research about this topic and describe the structures (i.e., conceptual, social, and intellectual) characterising it. It discusses the results to identify the main areas addressed so far and highlight gaps in the literature, offering avenues for possible future research. The results show that publications on entrep…

A Barrier Framework for open E-Learning in public administrations
2015
A comprehensive literature review on E-Learning and OER in public administrations.A contextualized Barrier Framework about core barriers in the public sector.Lessons learned to improve implementation and adoption processes of open E-Learning.The relevance of organizational, social and technical barriers in the public sector. E-Learning and openness in education are receiving ever increasing attention in businesses as well as in academia. However, these practices have only to small extent been introduced in public administrations. The study addresses this gap by presenting a literature review on Open Educational Resources OER and E-Learning in the public sector. The main goal of the article …
FCA-based knowledge representation and local generalized linear models to address relevance and diversity in diverse social images
2019
Abstract In social image retrieval, the main goal is to offer a relevant but also diverse result set of images to the user. To address relevance and diversity at the same time, we propose a multi-modal procedure. This approach deals with the diversification problem using a two-step procedure based on the application of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) to organize the text content of the images, followed by a Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering (HAC) step to find the topics addressed by the images. FCA detects the latent concepts covered by the images in the result set, organizing them according to these concepts. In the second step, clustering is carried out to group together the ones with a…
Teacher education programmes in physical education and sport at master’s level: Opportunities and challenges
2021
I denne artikkelen undersøker vi fremtidige muligheter og utfordringer i femårige lærerutdanninger i kroppsøving og idrettsfag på masternivået, i lys av kvalitet og relevans for fagfeltet. I undersøkelsen ble det benyttet en kvalitativ tilnærming med to metodiske innganger. Først ble et utvalg på 96 masteroppgaver i perioden 2015–2018 innenfor fagfeltet kroppsøving og idrettsfag brukt for å undersøke hva slags tematikker, teoretiske tilnærminger og metoder som er benyttet i masteroppgavene. Med bakgrunn i denne undersøkelsen ble det gjennomført en workshop med et utvalg lærerutdannere for å få innsikt i hva de oppfattet som fremtidige muligheter og utfordringer i femårig lærerutdanning i fa…

Dyscalculia: Clinical manifestations, evaluation and diagnosis. Current Perspectives of educational intervention
2019
Learning difficulties and learning disorders are very frequent in schools nowadays, and they have been increasing in the field of mathematics. Such difficulties tend to be associated with other disorders such as dyslexia or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The present article aims at deepening our understanding, definition and detection of dyscalculia, along with reviewing current educational treatments. Since 1990, concerns about learning difficulties in the classroom have been made explicit in policies such as the Spanish Law on the General Ordering of the Education System (LOGSE). Likewise, the indicators, symptoms, and prevalence of dyscalculia have been gathered since t…
