Jusqu'où peut-on comparer les apprentissages scolaires ?
2007
The pertinent review for the early knowledge learning in school and their links with quality matters is a complex issue, expressly in a comparative approach when crossing the variety on the range for economic development. But the increasingly frequent reference for a universal basic knowledge, in a connection with a claim concerning a global convergence, as a necessity in self determination for everyone to apply for a minimum level in literacy, raises the question whereby the comparative description of the factors of effectiveness of the school. In this note, the objective is only centred on the concerns for a comparison in measurement relating to results of a common school test led to pupi…
Agronomic evaluation and quality characterization of lentil accessions (Lens culinaris L.) in a Mediterranean environment
2013
Agronomic evaluation and quality characterization of lentil accessions (Lens culinaris L.) in a Mediterranean environmentLentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important grain legume cultivated in the Mediterranean region and used for human nutrition. An extensive differentiation of lentil over millennia has permitted the evolution of many landraces. These ecotypes often are the result of centuries of selective choices by local farmers and are characterized by high genetic variability and high adaptation to different environmental conditions. Presently, lentil is mainly cultivated in marginal areas of Central and Southern Italy and in Sicily small cultivation has permitted the evolution of lo…
Documentação digital da arte rupestre: apresentação e avaliação do método em dois sítios de Monte Alegre, Amazônia, Brasil
2013
Um dos aspectos mais importantes no estudo da arte rupestre é a documentação. No Brasil, são raros os trabalhos que apresentam os métodos e as técnicas empregados na documentação deste tipo de vestígio arqueológico. Grande parte dos estudos publicados no país está voltada para a classificação, a terminologia, as definições crono-estilísticas, interpretações e comparações entre conjuntos gráficos. Atualmente, a fotografia digital e os programas de manipulação de imagem constituem ferramentas de grande utilidade e precisão para a documentação da arte rupestre. Este artigo apresenta os resultados da aplicação do método do decalque digital na Amazônia, desenvolvido pelo Departamento de Arqueolo…
Casi di corruzione nei Rerum Gestarum libri di Ammiano Marcellino
2020
The paper provides food for thought on the issue of corruption in Ammianus Marcellinus’ History pointing out the need for revising the criteria of valuation of this phenomenology in order to assess it in modern conceptual terms. As a consequence Ammianus’ Res Gestae have to be analysed moving from the political, economic and social contexts as they stem not only from historiographical sources, but also from the Codes, enabling scholars to test the level of bias of the historian who was stubbornly anchored to the values of tradition that, in his opinion, coincided with the ordo’s privileges.
Positive self-evaluation versus negative other-evaluation in the political genre of pre-election debates.
2014
The present study explores the language of evaluation in a sub-genre of political discourse, pre-electoral debates, and its potential persuasive function for gaining voters via a contraposition of positive self-evaluation and negative evaluation of the other candidate. A further aim of this research is to check whether the candidate’s ideology has a bearing on the entities that get evaluated. After a brief examination of the characteristics of the sub-genre at hand, specifically in the Spanish context, we present the results of an evaluation analysis carried out in a corpus of 19,849 words, which is the extension of the most recent pre-electoral debate held in Spain between the candidates …
Directionality in translation and revision teaching: a case study of an A–B teacher working with B–A students
2019
Directionality has seldom been discussed with regard to the profiles of translation teachers. At German universities, the target language is usually the teacher’s A language. By contrast, in countr...
Two maintenance mechanisms of verbal information in working memory
2009
Abstract The present study evaluated the interplay between two mechanisms of maintenance of verbal information in working memory, namely articulatory rehearsal as described in Baddeley’s model, and attentional refreshing as postulated in Barrouillet and Camos’s Time-Based Resource-Sharing (TBRS) model. In four experiments using complex span paradigm, we manipulated the degree of articulatory suppression and the attentional load of the processing component to affect orthogonally the two mechanisms of maintenance. In line with previous neurophysiological evidence reported in the literature, behavioral results suggest that articulatory rehearsal and attentional refreshing are two independent m…
qFIBS: A Novel Automated Technique for Quantitative Evaluation of Fibrosis, Inflammation, Ballooning, and Steatosis in Patients With Nonalcoholic Ste…
2020
[Background and Aims] Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a common cause of chronic liver disease. Clinical trials use the NASH Clinical Research Network (CRN) system for semiquantitative histological assessment of disease severity. Interobserver variability may hamper histological assessment, and diagnostic consensus is not always achieved. We evaluate a second harmonic generation/two‐photon excitation fluorescence (SHG/TPEF) imaging‐based tool to provide an automated quantitative assessment of histological features pertinent to NASH.
The global, regional, and national burden of cirrhosis by cause in 195 countries and territories, 1990-2017 : a systematic analysis for the Global Bu…
2020
Background\ud \ud Cirrhosis and other chronic liver diseases (collectively referred to as cirrhosis in this paper) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally, although the burden and underlying causes differ across locations and demographic groups. We report on results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017 on the burden of cirrhosis and its trends since 1990, by cause, sex, and age, for 195 countries and territories.\ud \ud \ud \ud Methods\ud \ud We used data from vital registrations, vital registration samples, and verbal autopsies to estimate mortality. We modelled prevalence of total, compensated, and decompensated cirrhosis on the bas…
Factor Structure and Longitudinal Factorial Validity of the Core Self-Evaluation Scale
2018
Abstract. The personality high-order concept of core self-evaluations (CSE), which refers to a basic evaluation of one’s worth, capability, and effectiveness, has attracted a lot of research interest. Yet little is known about the construct validity of the core self-evaluation scale (CSES) while information on its longitudinal factorial validity is wholly lacking. This study investigated the factor structure of the CSES using both confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis implemented in Mplus program. In addition, the factor loading invariance over time was investigated using exploratory structural equation modeling. Longitudinal data with three follow-ups over 2 years, gathered among u…
