Biophysical approaches for the study of metal-protein interactions
2019
Protein-protein interactions play important roles for a variety of cell functions, often involving metal ions; in fact, metal-ion binding mediates and regulates the activity of a wide range of biomolecules. Enlightening all of the specific features of metal-protein and metal-mediated protein-protein interactions can be a very challenging task; a detailed knowledge of the thermodynamic and spectroscopic parameters and the structural changes of the protein is normally required. For this purpose, many experimental techniques are employed, embracing all fields of Analytical and Bioinorganic Chemistry. In addition, the use of peptide models, reproducing the primary sequence of the metal-binding …
Mathematics teachers and digital tools
2016
International audience; This chapter considers mathematics teachers’ appropriation and classroom use of digital tools. The first section considers teachers—who are they, how are they conceived in the literature and what aspects of teachers have been studied? The second section examines twenty-first century research on mathematics teachers using digital tools. This sheds light on the complexity of mathematics teachers’ appropriation and classroom use of digital tools but what we find is that our focus is too narrow and we need to consider digital tools within the range of resources use in planning and realising their lessons, which leads us to the third section, mathematics teachers using re…
Improving quality in clinical placement studies in nursing homes (QUALinCLINstud):the study protocol of a participatory mixed methods multiple case s…
2020
IntroductionImproved quality in clinical supervision and assessment of student nurses in nursing home clinical placements is vitally important to effective recruitment and preparation for this healthcare sector. Knowledge regarding supervision and assessment practices within these settings is limited. Also, knowledge of evolving e-learning tools on the quality and effectiveness of these educational practices seems to be absent.Methods and analysisThe aim of the “Improving quality in clinical placement studies in nursing homes” (QUALinCLINstud) study is to develop and evaluate how a web-based programme can optimise supervision, assessment and learning during nursing home placements. The stud…
Competition Advocacy: Soft Power in Competitive Policy
2013
Abstract Changing market conditions stimulate modernization of criteria, norms and standards of competition regulation and methods of enforcement. Competition advocacy is a type of activity exercised by antimonopoly authorities to strengthen competitive environment without enforcement measures, through developing active cooperation with other government bodies and increasing the degree of understanding of the benefits of competition by the community.
Assessing the Economy for the Common Good Measurement Theory Ability to Integrate the SDGs into MSMEs
2020
Over the past decades, sustainability and corporate sustainability have gained a lot of attention. Currently, the focus of attention has shifted to the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into businesses operation. The extant literature points to the proposed frameworks as not fitting micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSME) reality and, also, to a lack of empirical evidence in this field. With research at the intersection of business and SDGs still being scarce, the Economy for the Common Good (ECG) model allows operationalizing the SDGs employing its novel measurement theory. The present study is aimed at completing the statistical validation process of the EC…
A Mobile Diary Method for Studying Children’s and Adolescents’ Emotions : A Pilot Study
2015
Researching children’s and adolescents’ emotions from their own perspectives possesses special requirements for the data collection tools used. In this study, children’s and early adolescents’ emotions were investigated using a mobile diary method. The article describes and evaluates this data collection method and presents empirical results on fluctuation in the emotions of children and adolescents (n = 60, aged 7–14 years). The data, in the form of short text messages, were collected over one week. Every evening, children received seven questions on their emotions. Multilevel modeling was used to analyze the data. The results illustrate the potential of the mobile diary method with childr…
Teachers' procedures when introducing algebraic expression in two Norwegian grade 8 classrooms
2015
International audience; We investigate similarities and differences in two teachers’ way of introducing algebraic expressions by designed examples. One teacher moves from the specific to the general, and the other moves from the general to the specific. They both mediate the passage from the students’ real world and the school mathematics they know, to algebra.
Progettare interventi di sostegno didattico tra profilo di funzionamento e dimensioni di sviluppo
2023
Il contributo presenta le caratteristiche d’uso dell’International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF, 2001) per strutturare a scuola percorsi differenziati per gli alunni in situazione di disabilità. L’insegnante ha il compito di creare un ambiente di apprendimento inclusivo, di organizzare attività coerenti con gli obiettivi, di usare strategie adeguate ai bisogni educativi. Per progettare interventi efficaci di sostegno didattico egli osserva le difficoltà e le capacità potenziali dell’alunno, si propone lo sviluppo e il miglioramento di performance significative nel contesto, pensa come insegnare per favorire la partecipazione, personalizza le verifiche e valuta c…
Didactical Reconstructions in Knowledge Organization and Consolidation in Physics Teacher Education
2020
Physics teachers have an essential role in forming the attitudes and conceptions of future citizens towards science and technology, as well as in educating the future generations of scientists. Therefore, the physics teacher education must guarantee the best available education to pre-service physics teachers; sound knowledge of physics should be combined with a good understanding of the didactical and pedagogical aspects of teaching and learning. The situation is often that after university physics courses, the pre-service physics teachers’ knowledge is still quite fragmented and incoherent. They also often lack the concept formation perspective to physics knowledge. I discuss here a resea…
Architettura e second digital turn, l’evoluzione degli strumenti informatici e il progetto
2021
La condizione digitale che ha gradualmente ibridato le nostre esistenze, trasformando atomi in bit, si è oggi cementificata sulla nostra società, arricchendone la postmodernità e determinando una nuova liquidità acuitasi con l’avvento di internet. Un momento storico segnato da una nuova maturità del digitale, evidente nel nostro diverso rapporto con i dati, e nella diffusione di metodi di machine learning avanzato, che promettono una nuova capacità di comprensione della complessità contemporanea e nel frattempo contribuiscono alla propagazione dell’apparato tecnico sul mondo. Questi cambiamenti, tanto profondi da toccare la nostra cultura, stanno modificando il nostro modo di interpretare e…
