Valori e stili d’insegnamento nelle scuole primarie. Uno studio sulle auto-percezioni degli insegnanti
No full textIl contributo vuole essere una proposta concettuale che si inserisce nel dibattito sulla valutazione dei docenti e vuole fornire un contributo alla spiegazione delle variabili che incidono e caratterizzano l’insegnamento dei docenti della scuola primaria. L’apporto dello studio contribuisce al dibattito internazionale legato al tema e agli strumenti utilizzati, riporta l’interesse sui Valori come dimensione psicologica che caratterizza gli stili di insegnamento e le competenze auto-valutate dagli insegnanti. L’utilizzo della scala spagnola, Escala de Evaluación de la Competencia Autopercibida del Docente de Educación Primaria (ECAD-EP), congiuntamente alla Scala di Schwartz PVQ (Portrait Values Questionnaire) ha coinvolto un campione 203 docenti di scuola elementare. Da quanto è emerso, si può dire che i valori che principalmente incidono sullo sviluppo di tali capacità e comportamenti professionali, sono: tradizione, universalismo, autodirezione e benevolenza. I primi due influiscono in modo maggiormente significativo e su un più elevato numero di competenze, mentre gli ultimi due possiedono delle influenze più specifiche e mirate. Studi futuri mostreranno il ruolo delle variabili socio-demografiche influenti negli stili di insegnamento, contribuendo alla letteratura internazionale sul tema.This contribution is aimed to be a conceptual proposal within the discussion on the teachers’ assessment and also intends to make a contribution in the explanation of the variables affecting and characterizing the primary school teachers’ teaching styles. The study fits within the international debate on this topic and more in specific on the tools used for the assessment, and returns the interest on Values as psychological dimension characterizing the teaching styles and the teachers’ self-assessed skills. The use of the spanish scale ‘Escala de Evaluación de la Competencia Autopercibida del Docente de Educación Primaria’ (ECAD-EP), together with the Schwartz PVQ scale (Portrait Values Questionnaire) involved a sample of 203 primary school teachers. According to the results, the values whom primarily affect the development of these skills and professional behaviors are: tradition, universalism, benevolence and self-direction. The first two affect more significantly and on a higher number skills, while the rest have more specific and targeted influences. Further studies will show in depth the socio-demographic variables impact on the teaching styles, contributing to the international literature about these issues
Predictors of female business conduct
No full textLa capacidad empresarial, se refiere al reconocimiento de oportunidades de realizar algo nuevo de parte de quien, trabajando en una organización, individua y organiza los recursos humanos y económicos con la finalidad de alcanzar los objetivos de la organización misma.
La investigación intenta analizar la opinión que la población básica sobre algunos constructos Importantes onstructos de predicción de conductas empresariales; locus de control interno, la autoeficacia, la proactividad, (el employability), (el engagement).
El instrumento de investigación es un cuestionario de auto-evaluación (COEM J. C. Sánchez, 2006) caracterizado por 14 secciones, que investigan sectores específicos de la conducta empresarial.
La población básica está formada por 100 trabajadoras en varias empresas de sexo femenino (Roma - Italia), entre 29 y 62 años.
La ultima fase de la investigación ha sido la construcción de una población básica de control y a partir de los resultados no emergen diferencias significativas entre los dos grupos.The entrepreneurial capability is the acknowledgement of the opportunities to do something new from someone who, while working in an organization, individuates and organizes the economic and human resources in order to reach the organization’s goals The research intends to analyze the opinion that the basic population has regarding some constructs referred to the entrepreneurial capability, which are important entrepreneurial conduct prediction constructs (The internal control locus, the auto efficiency, the proactivity, the employability and the engagement). The investigation instrument is a questionnaire of self-evaluation (COEM J. C. Sanchez, 2006). Which is composed by 14 sections that investigate on specific sectors, of business conduct. The basic population consists of 100 female workers on diverse feminine companies (Rome - Italy) between 29 and 62 years old.
The last stage of the research has consisted in the construction of a basic control population.
According with the results, there are no significant differences between both groups
Finite-element analysis of a stenotic artery revascularization through a stent insertion
No full textShort-term and long-term clinical follow-up data clearly indicate the superiority of stenting techniques within the family of mechanical treatments for percutaneous coronary revascularizations. However, restenosis phenomena are in general still present, representing the major drawback for this innovative non-invasive approach. Experimental evidence indicates the mechanical interaction between the stent and the artery as a significant cause for the activation of stent-related restenosis. At the same time, the literature shows a significant lack of computational investigations within this field, possibly as consequence of the complexity of the problem. According to these considerations, the aim of the present work is to study the biomechanical interaction between a balloon-expandable stent and a stenotic artery, highlighting considerations able to improve the general understanding of the problem. In particular, given an initial stent design (J&J Palmaz-Schatz like), we show the presence of possible areas of artery injury during the stent deployment and areas of nonuniform contact pressure after the stent apposition, due to a non-uniform stent expansion. Since these concentrated mechanical actions can play an important role in the activation of restenosis mechanisms, we propose a modified stent design, which shows a more uniform expansion and for which typical stenting parameters (i.e., residual stenosis, elastic recoil, foreshortening) are computed and presented

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
