    THE TED MODEL FOR EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

    No full text
    openLe domande alla base della seguente ricerca sono: “Perché e come è utile adottare lo stile TED ai fini della comunicazione efficace?” Nel primo capitolo della tesi vengono fornite dettagliate definizioni in merito ai concetti di comunicazione e relazione prestando particolare attenzione all’inscindibile legame presente tra le due. Nel secondo capitolo il focus riguarda le strategie e gli strumenti da conoscere e implementare per rendere la comunicazione efficace e dunque, di conseguenza, realizzare relazioni di qualità. La “cassetta degli attrezzi” proposta è stata ricavata dai suggerimenti forniti da Chris Anderson nel suo testo TED Talks, The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking, e quindi, prendendo come case study TED. Cos’è TED? Perché è diventato un format riconosciuto a livello globale? Quali sono le tecniche applicate per rendere i talk proposti incisivi? Queste sono alcune delle domande che verranno affrontate. Il terzo e ultimo capitolo riporta le interviste effettuate a organizzatori, speaker coach e speaker che hanno partecipato a eventi TEDx organizzati in Italia con l’obiettivo di arricchire l’indagine con diverse prospettive andando oltre alle sole concezioni teoriche. La metodologia adottata per la realizzazione della seguente tesi parte dallo studio della bibliografia e dagli scritti elaborati in materia. Nel terzo capitolo, affianco alla ricerca bibliografica, il lavoro si compone di un’analisi qualitativa di dati ricavati dalle interviste, di confronti tra esperti per poter osservare come le informazioni proposte nei capitoli precedenti vengano, o meno, attuate sul campo

    New Roads for Patron-Driven E-books:Collection Development and Technical Services Implications of a Patron-Driven Acquisitions Pilot at Rutgers

    No full text
    Collection development librarians have long struggled to meet user demands for new titles. Too often, required resources are not purchased, while some purchased resources do not circulate. E-books selected through patron-driven plans are a solution but present new challenges for both selectors and catalogers. Radical changes to traditional technical services workflows are required, and selectors must modify the selection process to give more choice to the user. Rutgers University librarians have adopted an innovative new technical services workflow and collection-development model to manage a successful, patron-driven acquisitions project for e-books in the fields of math and computer science.This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship on 13/12/2011, available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/1941126X.2011.627043

    11 p.The study of the criminal profile of a subject has been embraced by criminology as a research mechanism from which is obtained as a result antecedents, behaviors and characteristics of the life of each subject in particular, which could lead him to become a delinquent, as is the case of the criminal subject Theodore Robert Cowell, known as Ted Bundy serial killer of women, who spread the fear in the American population in the 70s, is observed from the book the dynamic theory of the right of Dr. Alejandro Castaño Bedoya in the third chapter analyzing the theory of the right and the dialectic humanism of Erich Fromm next to the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud, where three basic structures of the personality are found, the It, I and the Super-I. Similarly, from two situations that Ted Bundy lived, the deceit of his mother and grandfather to think he was his father and the break of his great love, made him suffer a huge disappointment that would be repressed in his unconscious as throughout his childhood, adolescence and youth, creating in him instincts of hatred, anger and desires for revenge, generating that for these reasons he committed criminal acts such as dismembering and torturing young women.El estudio del perfil criminal de un sujeto ha sido acogido por la criminología como un mecanismo de investigación del cual se obtiene como resultado antecedentes, comportamientos y características de la vida de cada sujeto en particular, los cuales pudieron llevarlo a convertirse en un delincuente, como es el caso del sujeto criminal Theodore Robert Cowell, conocido como Ted Bundy asesino en serie de mujeres, quien difundió el miedo en la población estadounidense en los años 70, se observa a partir del libro la teoría dinámica del derecho del Doctor Alejandro Castaño Bedoya en el capítulo tercero analizando la teoría del derecho y el humanismo dialéctico de Erich Fromm junto a la teoría psicoanalítica de Sigmund Freud, en donde se encuentra tres estructuras básicas de la personalidad, el Ello, Yo y el Super-Yo. De igual manera a partir de dos situaciones que vivió Ted Bundy, el engaño de su madre y de su abuelo al pensar que era su padre y el rompimiento de su gran amor, hizo que sufriera una enorme decepción que quedaría reprimida en su inconsciente a lo largo de su etapa de infancia, adolescencia y de juventud, creando en él pulsiones de odio, rabia y deseos de venganza, generando que por estos motivos cometiera actos criminales como el descuartizar y torturas a mujeres jóvenes.Introducción Perfil criminal Identificación personal Biografía En el entorno familiar En el entorno escolar y universitario En el entorno laboral y socio político En el entorno criminal Crímenes realizados por Ted Bundy Análisis de los rasgos criminológicos del sujeto Conclusiones Referencia
