La identidad de la diversidad funcional en la comunicación mediada por la tecnología
2017
El objeto de estudio de la investigación que a continuación se presenta gravita sobre el cambio ontológico que impone la tecnología en el ser humano. En concreto, el desarrollo de tecnologías de ayuda aplicadas a Sistemas Alternativos de Comunicación representa un interesante ejemplo de cómo dichos soportes actúan en la base de las interacciones sociales, la comunicación y, cómo esta mediación modifica la propia autoimagen e imagen social de la persona que la emplea. El presente estudio se centra en las personas con parálisis cerebral o enfermedad degenerativa neuronal y en la transformación identitaria que padecen al poderse comunicar con soportes autónomos de alta tecnología. La hipótesis…
ChemInform Abstract: Out of Fuzzy Chemistry: From Prebiotic Chemistry to Metabolic Networks
2012
The origin of life on Earth was a chemical affair. So how did primitive biochemical systems originate from geochemical and cosmochemical processes on the young planet? Contemporary research into the origins of life subscribes to the Darwinian principle of material causes operating in an evolutionary context, as advocated by A. I. Oparin and J. B. S. Haldane in the 1920s. In its simplest form (e.g., a bacterial cell) extant biological complexity relies on the functional integration of metabolic networks and replicative genomes inside a lipid boundary. Different research programmes have explored the prebiotic plausibility of each of these autocatalytic subsystems and combinations thereof: sel…
Smart Phone, Smart Science: How the Use of Smartphones Can Revolutionize Research in Cognitive Science
2011
WOS:000295936900019; International audience; Investigating human cognitive faculties such as language, attention, and memory most often relies on testing small and homogeneous groups of volunteers coming to research facilities where they are asked to participate in behavioral experiments. We show that this limitation and sampling bias can be overcome by using smartphone technology to collect data in cognitive science experiments from thousands of subjects from all over the world. This mass coordinated use of smartphones creates a novel and powerful scientific "instrument" that yields the data necessary to test universal theories of cognition. This increase in power represents a potential re…
DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES IN REGIONS OF LATVIA
2021
For successful economic transition to the new stage of development improvements in business environment, as also the entrepreneurswho are ready to start your own business and to set up new companies. One of the main challenges the EU Member States face isthe need to boost their level of entrepreneurship and to become more competitive in the global market. That was one of the mainobjectives set by the Lisbon European Council, in March 2000, with a view to improving the Union’s performance in terms of employment,economic reform and social cohesion. Entrepreneurship is not only a driving force in the creation of new jobs, but it alsoincreases and enhances competitiveness and growth, personal f…
Family Relationships and Cyberbullying
2015
This chapter analyzes the relationship between family and cyberbullying, a type of technological harassment among peers which is of growing concern in the scientific community and in today’s society. First, this chapter discusses factors associated with family functioning that may predict cyberbullying, particularly the family climate (cohesion, expressivity, and conflict) and parent–children communication. It also examines the role of parental socialization styles and their continuity with parental styles on the Internet: authoritarian style, laissez-faire, permissive and authoritative. In relation to parental styles, one section in this chapter describes the parental monitoring of Interne…
Distributed pedagogical leadership in support of student transitions
2012
This article examines how, through uncovering collaborative leadership, the whole school staff is able to understand its common endeavours to support heterogeneous students’ fluent learning paths. For this, a notion of distributed pedagogical leadership (DPL) is drawn upon. DPL concerns everyone in the school community, not only leaders and management. It means abandoning role, instrumental or process centricity and moving towards leadership that is characterized as the innermost qualities of a professional learning community. This kind of leadership is best described with 10 ‘keys’ as 10 key attributes. To understand DPL in practice, quantitative data both from a nationwide Finnish survey…
Patsy Healey and Collaborative Planning (2005): Re-thinking Democracy in the ‘Reasoning in Public’ Arena
2022
The interpretation of the notion of citizenship has led some authors to the conclusion of the necessity of overcoming a ‘restricted conception’ of citizenship, in order to gain a more inclusive recognition of a cosmopolitan, rather than a mere universal, recognition of rights. So, three core issues are tightly intertwined in this paper: the controversial issue of citizenship in its multiple facets: the formal that is institutional, the substantial and the denied one; the role of planning and its ethical implications; and the very idea of democracy in its dichotomy: institutional versus substantial. Patsy Healey’s work offers us a wide set of normative perspectives and intellectual stimuli, …
2-Cinnamamido, 2-(3-phenylpropiolamido), and 2-(3-phenylpropanamido)benzamides: synthesis, antiproliferative activity, and mechanism of action
2013
Abstract Several new benzamides 4a–q were synthesized by stirring in pyridine the acid chlorides 3a–q with the appropriate anthranilamide derivatives 2a–g. Some of the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against a panel of 5 human cell lines (K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cells, MCF-7 breast cancer cells, HTC-116 and HT26 colon cancer cells and NCI H460 non-small cell lung cancer cells).
A Note on Symmetry in Job Contact Networks
2007
Since the seminal work of Granovetter (1995), the sociological literature highlighted the importance of social relationships, like friends, relatives and acquaintances, as sources of information on jobs in labor markets. Such importance is also confirmed by a number of empirical studies.3 More recently, economists have devoted considerable attention to this topic,4 so that the study of individual and aggregate economic outcomes produced by the presence of social relationships in labor markets is becoming a fruitful research area in economics.
Early modern maritime insurance between mercantile customs and ius commune
2020
Le droit coutumier a qualifié la responsabilité du capitaine de navire de culpabilité. Les juristes, notamment les tribunaux, se sont concentrés sur des catégories spécifiques (contractuelles, délictuelles ou pénales). Le passage de l’un à l’autre implique une différence très significative en matière de qualification du comportement, donc des preuves requises. Cela a eu des conséquences importantes sur l’étendue de la responsabilité du capitaine du navire, donc sur la position des assurés.
