Comics aren't just for fun anymore: the practical use of comics by TESOL professionals
No full textThesis (M.A.)--University of Wisconsin-River Falls, 2013. ii + 173 leaves. Includes bibliographical references (leaves 155-173).Comics, in the form of comic strips, comic books, and single panel cartoons are ubiquitous in classroom materials for teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL). While comics material is widely accepted as a teaching aid in TESOL, there is relatively little research into why comics are popular as a teaching instrument and how the effectiveness of comics can be maximized in TESOL. This thesis is designed to bridge the gap between conventional wisdom on the use of comics in ESL/EFL instruction and research related to visual aids in learning and language acquisition. The hidden science behind comics use in TESOL is examined to reveal the nature of comics, the psychological impact of the medium on learners, the qualities that make some comics more educational than others, and the most empirically sound ways to use comics in education. The definition of the comics medium itself is explored; characterizations of comics created by TESOL professionals, comic scholars, and psychologists are indexed and analyzed. This definition is followed by a look at the current role of comics in society at large, the teaching community in general, and TESOL specifically. From there, this paper explores the psycholinguistic concepts of construction of meaning and the language faculty. Through an analysis of the evolution of language, art history, and the psychology of perception, comics are revealed to be an innate form of human communication that originated in pre-literate ancient times; this medium continues to be a powerful form of non-verbal communication to this day. Next, educational theories particularly relevant to comics use in TESOL are examined, with a focus Allan Pavio's Dual Coding theory of learning and Stephen Krashen's Input and Affective Filter Hypotheses. Each major section of this thesis contains a subsection of case studies from TESOL fieldwork, followed by an index of the things teachers should know and do to use the information in the section effectively
Incorporación de la perspectiva de género en las Políticas de infancia en Uruguay : el caso del Plan CAIF - Centros de Atención a la Infancia y a la Familia (2008-2018)
No full textEl Plan Centros de Atención a la Primera Infancia y la Familia (Plan CAIF) en Uruguay es la principal política pública de atención a la primera infancia y sus familias, con más de treinta años de trayectoria ininterrumpida. La presente investigación tuvo como principal objetivo analizar el proceso de incorporación de la perspectiva de género en el diseño e implementación de esta política pública, considerando especialmente el período 2008-2018 cuando el Estado uruguayo puso en marcha una serie de medidas para la transversalización de la equidad de género en sus políticas. Para ello, se realizó un estudio de tipo exploratorio y descriptivo en base a una metodología cualitativa, tomando como método el estudio de caso y utilizando las técnicas de entrevista y análisis documental mediante el Modelo de Continuum de Género como herramienta metodológica de análisis. Se utilizó el análisis documental y entrevistas semidirigidas en profundidad a distintos actores involucrados en el proceso de elaboración, reorientación e implementación de la política referida. Desde la visión de los distintos actores involucrados, se realizó un proceso de identificación de los principales hitos de la política, considerando el contexto de institucionalización del género en las políticas públicas por parte del Estado uruguayo a partir de la implementación de la Ley N° 18.104 “Igualdad de Derechos y Oportunidades entre Hombres y Mujeres en la República” del año 2007. Desde las contribuciones de la Psicología Social en diálogo con los Estudios de Género, en especial aquella que examina la relación entre política pública y subjetividad, se buscó analizar el proceso de incorporación de la perspectiva de género en los abordajes de política pública dirigida a la atención de niños/as, y sus familias, poniendo de relieve los obstáculos y facilitadores que se observan en su incorporación. Entre el período 1980 - 1996, que corresponde al surgimiento de esta política, se observó que la figura de la mujer=madre es predominante en la concepción de la política. Entre 1997 y 2007, desde los Centros se perciben desigualdades de género en prácticas de cuidado y crianza, pero no se utiliza información para comprender el contexto y las estructuras sociales que las generan. En el período entre 2008 y 2014, se observaron los primeros pasos de una integración del enfoque de género mediante el cuestionamiento de las desigualdades, y una serie de movimientos instituyentes sobre la articulación de la perspectiva de género en un programa de infancia. Finalmente, el período desde 2015 al 2018, autoridades del Plan y un conjunto de asociaciones de la sociedad civil avanzan en dimensiones “transformadoras” de las prácticas, y en un mismo contexto persisten lógicas de un enfoque “acomodador de género” en tareas socio-educativas en la temprana infancia.The Early Childhood and Family Care Centres Plan (CAIF Plan) in Uruguay is the main public policy for early childhood and family care, with an uninterrupted track record of more than 30 years. The main objective of this research was to analyze the process of mainstreaming the gender perspective in the design and implementation of this public policy, especially considering the period 2008-2018 when the Uruguayan State implemented a series of initatives to mainstream gender equity in its policies. To achieve this, an exploratory and descriptive study was carried out using a qualitative methodology, using the case study as a method and using the interview and documentary analysis techniques through the Gender Continuum Model as a methodological tool of analysis. Documentary analysis and semi-directed in-depth interviews were used with different actors involved in the process of elaboration, reorientation and implementation of the aforementioned policy. From the viewpoint of the various stakeholders, a process was undertaken to identify the main milestones of the policy, taking into account the context of the institutionalization of gender in public policy by the Uruguayan State following the implementation of Law No. 18,104 "Equal Rights and Opportunities for Men and Women in the Republic" in 2007. From the contributions of Social Psychology in dialogue with Gender Studies, especially that which examines the relationship between public policy and subjectivity, we sought to analyze the process of incorporating the gender perspective in public policy approaches to the care of children and their families, highlighting the obstacles and facilitators observed in its incorporation. Between 1980 and 1996, which corresponds to the birth of this policy, it was observed that the figure of the woman=mother is predominant in the conception of the policy. Between 1997 and 2007, the Centres perceived gender inequalities in care and upbringing practices, but no information was used to understand the context and social structures that generated them. In the period between 2008 and 2014, the first steps were taken to integrate the gender perspective by questioning inequalities, and a series of institutional movements on the articulation of the gender perspective in a children's programme were observed. Finally, during the period from 2015 to 2018, the Plan's authorities and a number of civil society associations are making progress in "transformative" dimensions of practices, and in the same context, the logic of a "gender mainstreaming" approach to socio-educational tasks in early childhood persists

No full textHPV/Chlamydia trachomatis co-infection. Metagenomic analysis of cervical microbiota in asymptomatic women
No full textHPV and Chlamydia trachomatis are the most common causes of sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. Most infections are asymptomatic and left untreated lead to severe reproductive tract sequelae such as cervical cancer and infertility. Interestingly, C. trachomatis may also increase the susceptibility to HPV infection as well as contribute to viral persistence. Recently, a growing body of evidence has suggested that the composition of the cervico-vaginal microbiota plays a key role in the susceptibility and outcome of genital infections caused by several pathogens, including HPV and C. trachomatis. The aim of our study was to undertake a metagenomic analysis of sequenced 16s rRNA gene amplicons to characterize the cervical microbiota from asymptomatic women with HPV/C. trachomatis co-infection. The composition of the cervical microbiota from HPV-positive or C. trachomatis-positive women was also analysed. The main finding of our study showed that the cervical microbiota in HPV/C. trachomatis co-infected women had a higher microbial diversity than the cervical microbiota in healthy controls (p<0.05). In addition, Aerococcus christensenii was associated with C. trachomatis infection. In conclusion, the increased cervical microbial diversity observed in HPV/C. trachomatis co-infected women and the detection of potential microbiological biomarkers of C. trachomatis infection will open the way to innovative approaches that may be helpful to identify women at risk of co-infection
A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
