Good practices in school to educate critical citizens: the youth parliament programme from the perspective of secondary school teachers in training

ERPA International Congresses on Education 2018This paper refers to the European project Erasmus + ELEF (European Learning Environment Formats for Citizenship and Democracy, Reference number 580426). The aim of this project is to develop, implement, evaluate and replicate democratic and innovative learning environments (good practices) in both educational institutions and informal and community learning environments. In this context, over the course of a year, a number of experiences considered relevant have been selected, which constitute the sample of this research on good practices. This contribution presents the educational programme “Youth Parliament”. This is a project with a long history and whose main objective is to train responsible citizens, with the collaboration of various educational agents. The evaluation carried out by the Secondary Education teachers in training on the potentialities and limitations of the programme is shown, based on the experiences carried out in the participating educational centres during the academic year 2016-2017

Automatic Performance Status Evaluation and Physical Activity Recognition in Cancer Patients for Medical Diagnosis Assistance

Sobresaliente (10)The evaluation of cancer patients’ recovery is still under a big grade of subjectivity from the physicians’ diagnoses. Different systems have been successfully implemented for general physical activity evaluation, nonetheless there is still a big leap of improvement into Performance Status (PS) evaluation with ECOG and Karnofsky’s Performance Status (KPS) scores. In this project an automatic system for patients’ biomonitoring based on Android technology with smartphones and wearables has been designed. As a result, objective data is provided for the oncologists’ diagnoses along with new algorithms for physical activity and PS assessment, having the latter applied to ECOG and KPS no precedent known. Furthermore, the basics for prospective implementation of gamification has been designed for boosting patients’ motivation in their recovery.La evaluación de la recuperación de pacientes con cáncer está caracterizada por un alto grado de subjetividad en los diagnósticos del personal médico. Se han implementado con éxito diferentes sistemas para la evaluación de la actividad fı́sica, sin embargo, aún existe un amplio margen de evolución dentro de la medida de la capacidad funcional con las escalas ECOG y de Karnofsky. En este proyecto se ha diseñado un sistema automático para la biomonitorización de pacientes basado en tecnologı́a Android con smartphones y wearables. Con esto se provee a los oncólogos de datos objetivos para sus diagnósticos junto con nuevos algoritmos para la evaluación de la actividad fı́sica y la capacidad funcional, estos últimos aplicados a ECOG y la escala de Karnofsky sin precedente alguno. Además, se han sentado las bases y el diseño de una futura implementación de gamificación para favorecer la motivación del paciente en su recuperación.Beca Iniciación a la Investigación de la Universidad de GranadaDepartamento de Arquitectura y Tecnología de Computadores, Universidad de Granad

Mètodes d'avaluació de l'expressió escrita

Treball Final de Grau en Mestre o Mestra d'Educació Primària. Codi: MP1040. Curs acadèmic: 2016/2017Aquest treball sobre la redacció i com corregir i avaluar correctament un escrit esta basat en diferents models i mètodes que proposen diversos autors. Es reflexiona per una part sobre com s’ensenya a escriure un text als xiquets/es, és a dir, quins són els procediments que s’utilitzen, els mètodes i la metodologia utilitzada hui en dia en les aules, ja que els mestres de hui en dia no es preocupen de buscar noves metodologies i de preocupar-se de corregir els textos amb sentit. I per altra part es fa una breu comparació en la metodologia utilitzada fa uns anys i la de l’actualitat, concretament aquest treball és una crítica a la manera de ensenyar i de corregir els textos dels alumnes hui en dia, ja que se assembla a la de fa uns anys. Considere que aquest tema és important degut a que la redacció és un tema que ha de estar en les aules de manera activa i que els xiquets/es han de gaudir amb la redacció. Es proposen diferents mètodes de com corregir un text o una redacció de diferents autors, diferents maneres de puntuar, de avaluar..

Spectrophotometry of early type stars

A photoelectric spectrum scanner attached to the 16-inch telescope of the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory was used to determine the relative spectral intensity distribution for early type stars. Observations on a minimun of three nights per star have been obtained for about two hundred stars. The tracings extend from 3100 Å to 6000 Å. They were obtained with a slit width from 50 Å to 80 Å , and thus can be used also for a determination of the equivalent widths of H-beta, H-gamma, and H-delta, As a byproduct precise information on the monochromatic atmospheric extinction at Cerro Tololo is obtained. In this investigation special, emphasis was given to Be stars.Asociación Argentina de Astronomí

Sudėtingi etiniai verslo vertimo žodžiu klausimai: mokymasis spręsti kultūrines problemas per praktiką ir refleksiją

In business interpreting training, there is the need to train prospective interpreters in professional ethics and conduct, since tenets assumed in other interpreting domains such as impartiality and wholeness may conflict with the interests and needs of the business hiring the interpreter’s services and therefore place the interpreter in an ethical dilemma. In this article, we show how examples of ethically challenging elements extracted from a real interpreter-mediated business meeting corpus (in particular, issues related to culture clashes) can be addressed in business interpreting training. Trainee interpreters are exposed to these situations, which are previously introduced in (semi-)structured roleplays that are then used in the training sessions, and the following subsequent feedback and discussion allow trainees and trainers to explore and expound different options that both transmit the correct message and, more importantly, adhere to professional principles and protocols.Rengiant verslo vertėjus žodžiu būtinas profesinės etikos kursas, nes kitose vertimo žodžiu srityse taikomi principai – tokie kaip nešališkumas ar siekis perteikti visą informaciją – gali prieštarauti vertėją samdančios įmonės interesams ir poreikiams, todėl vertėjui gali kilti etinių dilemų. Šiame straipsnyje rodome, kaip rengiant verslo vertėjus žodžiu galima mokytis spręsti etiniu požiūriu sudėtingas situacijas (ypač dėl kultūrų sandūros) naudojantis iš realių verslo susitikimų, kuriuose dirbo vertėjai žodžiu, surinktais pavyzdžiais. Vertimo žodžiu studentams sukuriamos tokios situacijos, kurios pirmiausia pristatomos (pusiau)struktūruotose simuliacijose, vėliau naudojamose per paskaitas. Grįžtamasis ryšys ir aptarimas leidžia studentams ir kursų dėstytojams išnagrinėti ir paaiškinti, kaip tokiose situacijose galima ne tik teisingai perteikti informaciją, bet ir – dar svarbiau – versti laikantis profesinių principų ir etikos reikalavimų

Boosting sustainability and financial performance: the role of supply chain controversies

In recent years, numerous scandals concerning working conditions in Asia have threatened the reputation of large companies like Wal-Mart and Inditex. Since such scandals call attention to activities harmful to sustainable development, it is very important to study the relationships between concerns for sustainable supply chain management (SSCM), sustainability, and organisations’ market value. The added value of our study is, first, to explore SSCM controversies as drivers of or pressures for adopting and applying sustainability practices; and, second, to contribute to the recent but growing literature that analyses the channels through which SSCM and sustainability practices influence the firm’s value. We introduce sustainability environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices as a mediator between SSCM controversies and market value to examine whether SSCM controversies with firms’ stakeholders lead to improvements in the ESG dimensions of organisational sustainability. We also examine the relationships between the ESG dimensions and market value, measured as Tobin’s Q ratio. The results confirm both the positive relationships of SSCM controversies to the ESG dimensions two years later and a positive relationship of the dimension of governance to Tobin’s Q. We also confirm a negative and significant relationship of the social dimension to Tobin’s Q, and a non-significant relationship of the environmental dimension to Tobin’s Q
