Learning styles: Individualizing computer‐based learning environments
No full textIn spite of its importance, learning style is a factor that has been largely ignored in the design of educational software. Two issues concerning a specific set of learning styles, described by Honey and Mumford (1986), are considered here. The first relates to measurement and validity. This is discussed in the context of a longitudinal study to test the predictive validity of the questionnaire items against various measures of academic performance, such as course choice and level of attainment in different subjects. The second issue looks at how the learning styles can be used in computer‐based learning environments. A re‐examination of the four learning styles (Activist, Pragmatist, Reflector and Theorist) suggests that they can usefully be characterized using two orthogonal dimensions. Using a limited number of pedagogical building blocks, this characterization has allowed the development of a teaching strategy suitable for each of the learning styles. Further work is discussed, which will use a multi‐strategy basic algebra tutor to assess the effect of matching teaching strategy to learning style

Benvenuto Stracca "Tractatus de mercatura seu mercatore" ("Treatise on Commerce or on the Merchant")
No full textLa voce riguarda una descrizione dettagliata del "Tractatus de mercatura seu mercatore" di Benvenuto Stracca e del suo ruolo nella storia del diritto.This volume surveys 150 law books of fundamental importance in the history of Western legal literature and culture. The entries are organized in three sections: the first dealing with the transitional period of fifteenth-century editions of medieval authorities, the second spanning the early modern period from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, and the third focusing on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The contributors are scholars from all over the world. Each ‘old book’ is analyzed by a recognized specialist in the specific field of interest. Individual entries give a short biography of the author and discuss the significance of the works in the time and setting of their publication, and in their broader influence on the development of law worldwide. Introductory essays explore the development of Western legal traditions, especially the influence of the English common law, and of Roman and canon law on legal writers, and the borrowings and interaction between them.
The book goes beyond the study of institutions and traditions of individual countries to chart a broader perspective on the transmission of legal concepts across legal, political, and geographical boundaries. Examining the branches of this genealogical tree of books makes clear their pervasive influence on modern legal systems, including attempts at rationalizing custom or creating new hybrid systems by transplanting Western legal concepts into other jurisdictions
Measuring servitization progress and outcome: the case of ‘advanced services’
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to establish a framework for assessing the progress and outcome of a manufacturer’s transformation towards becoming a provider of ‘advanced services’ – a complex bundling of products and services, whereby manufacturers offer capabilities and outcomes instead of products alone. ‘Advanced services’ represent the most complex offering in the current servitization trend amongst manufacturers. However, current performance measures lack the breadth and focus to assess progress or outcomes, and so support research and practice of organisational transformation efforts required. To address this gap the paper investigates how a manufacturer’s efforts to become an ‘advanced services’ provider can be comprehensively measured, and develops a framework for assessing the transformation journey towards becoming an ‘advanced services’ provider. The research method is based on (1) a systematic literature review process to create a comprehensive set of service-related performance measures that are available to assess a manufacturer’s servitization efforts, followed by (2) an engagement with an expert panel to synthesise the identified measures and create a set of ‘advanced services’ performance measures. The proposed framework is presented as a scorecard that can be used in practice to assess the progress and outcome of a manufacturer’s transformation towards becoming a provider of ‘advanced services’.</p

Jacobus Emerix de Matthis, Decisiones Sacrae Rotae Romanae, in Books that made the Law in the Western World: the Formation and Transmission of Western Legal Culture, Studies in the History of Law and Justice
No full textJacob Emerix de Matthis (1626-1696), judge of the Roman Sacra Rota for almost thirty years, is author of an important collection of Decisiones Sacrae Rotae Romanae, published in Rome in three volumes in 1701. The book, containing 1.370 decisions of the Roman Sacra Rota, spanning the period 1669-1696, belongs to the genre of the collections of the European great tribunals’ decisions, spread all over Europe between 14th-15th centuries and consolidated during 16th-17th. Between the most numerous, authoritative and widespread collections, were the Decisiones of the Roman Sacra Rota, the supreme tribunal of the State of the Church dating back to 14th century, whose prestigious and authoritative jurisdiction was known and referred to all over Europe. As a judge of the Roman Sacra Rota and between its most important and expert reporters, Emerix wrote his Decisiones in order to clarify and consolidate the points of law under discussion and, at the same time, to preserve the decisions of the court allowing its judges to refer to useful precedents in future analogous cases. Emerix attention to the position of the legal problem, always accurately described, exemplifies the changes occurred since 16th-17th centuries. First of all his decisiones, which belong to the individual collections, differ from the ones collected in the past, less detailed and more heterogeneous in their contents: being they written for personal usage, they normally included short legal maxims, consilia and personal opinions, while usually lacked the decision, which started to be put in writing systematically only after the reform of 1563. Secondly, the decision starts to be delivered no more on different legal questions, but on the «dubium generale totius causae complexivum», quite broadly worded, with the mention of the case as a whole. Emerix’ Decisiones mostly concern canon and civil law, with particular reference to matrimonial cases, execution of wills, land law. Anyway the decisions are by no means final judgments: according to rotal procedure, infact, the decisio was an autonomous extra-judicial act containing the reasoned conclusions of the twelve judges of the collegium, a simple account by the ponens about the learned opinions given by his colleagues in order to solve the dubium. The decisio would be communicated to the parties before the issue of the final judgment (sententia) − which, on the contrary, did not include motives – and delivered only if no new arguments or evidence were brought forward. This is why Emerix does not always report whether the decisions gave rise to a judgment or not: many cases were probably amicably settled and never brought to judgment, or were later superseded by other decisions in the same case. In tracing the authorities of the different arguments illustrated in the decisions, which appear as doctrinal works more than reports of cases, Emerix refers, as main sources of law, to the Corpus Juris Canonici and Corpus Juris Civilis, to the opinions of eminent canonists and civilians, to the opinions of past rotal judges and, most of all, to precedent decisions of the Sacra Rota itself, continuously cited. Emerix’ book enjoyed a wide international circulation and his decisions were frequently quoted in the main collections of 18th-19th centuries. The enormous success and international circulation of the Decisiones of the Sacra Rota, highly demanded by the auditores of the court and by lawyers in general, who found in them the doctrinal opinions of expert and renowned jurists and the solution to various legal problems analytically exposed, proves that the Decisiones had became a fundamental reference point in the administration of justice all over Europe, an indispensable mean to clarify and to know law overcoming legal uncertainty generated by the crisis of the jus commune
