The development of lower order critical reading strategies in third cycle students at a public school.

Este estudio ha contribuido al desarrollo de estrategias de orden inferior críticos de lectura basados ​​en la floración taxonomía de los estudiantes de tercer ciclo en una escuela pública. El desarrollo de estrategias de lectura se inició con la idea de mejorar los estudiantes la comprensión de lectura en Inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) porque los alumnos mostraron comprensión de la lectura bajo un diagnóstico de una prueba de entrada para evaluar a los estudiantes la comprensión y los bajos niveles de lectura en la prueba del ICFES Saber-Pro de 2003 a 2010. La relevancia de este estudio se estableció en el diseño e implementación de seis guías de lectura que se desarrollaron los dominios de orden inferior tales como recordar, entender y aplicar necesario mejorar los estudiantes "la comprensión de lectura". El impacto de este estudio se concentró en cómo desarrollar Bloom taxonomía para las habilidades de orden inferior en un contexto específico en Bogotá. En este estudio se trabajó con la investigación cualitativa, investigación-acción Taggart (1988) (observación, planificación, acción, reflexión, planificación) y los métodos empíricos tales como la prueba de acceso para el diagnóstico de los estudiantes "habilidad en la lectura, y los métodos teóricos de la literatura revisión". Este estudio se centró en noveno grado con una población de 40 estudiantes en que se tomó el 25% de la muestra para el análisis de datos. Estudiantes artefactos "fueron la principal prueba, una encuesta semiestructurada y notas de campo se tomaron al azar para el análisis". Fue diseñado, implementado y evaluado seis guías de lectura para iniciar un proceso de orden inferior lectura crítica. Los resultados sobre los artefactos de los estudiantes "mostraron que el 92% de los estudiantes logra el dominio Recordar, el 86% de los estudiantes tiene el dominio de la comprensión, y el 93% de los alumnos logra el dominio de aplicación de estrategias de lectura crítica de orden inferior". Un estudio adicional se puede desarrollar en las habilidades de orden superior, tales como el análisis, la evaluación y la creación.This study contributed to the development of lower order critical reading strategies based on Bloom‟s taxonomy in third cycle students at a public school. The development of reading strategies started with the idea of improving students reading comprehension in English as a foreign language (EFL) because pupils showed low reading comprehension diagnosed with an entry test to evaluate students comprehension and low reading levels in the ICFES test Saber-Pro from 2003 to 2010.The relevance of this study was set on the design and implementation of six reading guides that developed lower order domains such as remembering, understanding and applying necessary to improve students‟ reading comprehension. The impact of this study was concentrated on how to develop Bloom‟s taxonomy for lower order skills in a specific context in Bogotá. This study worked with qualitative research, action research by Kemmis and McTaggart (1988) (observation, planning, action, reflection, planning) and empirical methods such as the entry test to diagnose the students‟ ability on reading, and theoretical methods for the literature review. This study focused on ninth graders with a population of 40 students where the 25% of the sample was taken for data analysis. Students‟ artifacts were the main evidence, a semi-structured survey and fieldnotes were taken at random for analysis. It was designed, implemented, and evaluated six reading guides to start a process of lower order critical reading. Results on students‟ artifacts showed that 92% of the students achieved the Remembering domain, 86% of students got the understanding domain, and 93 % of pupils achieved the Applying domain for lower order critical reading strategies. A further study can be developed on higher order skills such as analyzing, evaluating and creating

Ultrapurification of Silicon for Photovoltaic Applications

The recent explosive growth of Photovoltaics and the relative avidity for silicon of the predominant solar cell technology have resulted in a dramatic change of the polysilicon industry structure. While in the past the polysilicon was manufactured almost exclusively for the semiconductor industry, now more than half of the market is devoted to the solar industry. The different alternative routes to purify silicon for photovoltaic applications are presented in the paper, analysing their advantages and drawbacks. Emphasis is made on the CENTESIL initiative, a new private-public partnership venture promoting a pilot plant that is in an advanced state of construction. The goal is to allow the photovoltaic companies worldwide to count with an independent research centre to help them to establish their own polysilicon plant

Mercados de trabajo locales y desarrollo territorial sostenible

Una amplia tradición de científicos sociales de varios campos disciplinares están de acuerdo en definir los mercados de trabajo locales como espacios de movilidad diaria de la población por motivos de trabajo (Combes 1986; Eurostat, 1992; Casado Díaz, 1991). La cuestión que se plantea en este trabajo es si estos espacios, además de ser útiles para la gestión territorial de las políticas de empleo, pueden resultar unidades territoriales adecuadas para la concepción de políticas multidimensionales más amplias promotoras del desarrollo sostenible de los territorios que delimitan.____________________________________Social scientists from several disciplinary fields long agree that local labour markets can be defined as spaces of daily population mobility due to labour reasons (Combes 1986; Eurostat, 1992; Casado Díaz, 1991). The question we address in this paper is whether these spaces are not only useful for territorial management of employment policy, but also suitable territorial units in conceptualizing wider multidimensional politics that can facilitate sustainable territorial development

Efeitos do solo e clima numa vinha de uva de mesa com cultura de cobertura. Gestão da rega utilizando redes de sensores

[ENG] TThe use of mulches in vineyards and orchards is a traditional agricultural practice used with the aim of saving moisture, reducing weed growth and improving organic matter content in the soil. In table grape vineyards trained to overhead system in Puglia region (Southeastern Italy), plastic sheets covering the canopy are often used to either advance ripening or delay harvest. In this environment, the living mulches could contribute to the modification of the microclimate around the canopy below the plastic sheets. This condition has an influence on the climatic demand and on both the vegetative and productive activities, mainly in stages with a high evapotranspiration. However, the presence of living mulches could increase the demand of available water and nutrient resources and this could cause a lower yield. The aim of this study was to acquire a suitable knowledge to manage irrigation and verify the influences of living mulches on the vine by using wireless sensor networks to measure the vapor pressure deficit, soil water potential and content.[POR] A utilização de coberturas do solo em vinhas e pomares é uma prática agrícola tradicional, utilizada com o objetivo de preservar a humidade do solo, reduzir o crescimento de infestantes e melhorar o teor de matéria orgânica no solo. Em vinhas de uva de mesa, conduzidas em sistema de pérgula na região de Puglia (sudeste da Itália), são frequentemente usadas coberturas de plástico para promover o avanço da maturação ou o atraso da colheita. Neste ambiente a utilização de enrelvamentos pode contribuir para a modificação do microclima do copado. Esta condição pode influenciar a demanda atmosférica, bem como a atividade vegetativa e reprodutiva da videira, principalmente em períodos de elevada evapotranspiração. No entanto, a presença do enrelvamento pode originar um aumento da demanda dos recursos disponíveis, nomeadamente água e nutrientes, o que poderá provocar uma quebra de produção. O objetivo deste estudo foi adquirir conhecimento para a gestão da rega e, simultaneamente, verificar a influência dos enrelvamentos na atividade da videira, usando para o efeito redes de sensores “sem fio” para medir o déficit de pressão de vapor, o potencial e o conteúdo de água no solo.The development of this work was supported by: The Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through the project RIDEFRUT (ref.

A financial analysis of born-global firms: evidence from Spain

From the beginning of the 1970s to the present day, significant changes have taken place in the competitive and organizational behavior of small and medium-sized companies (SMEs). Recently, some of these factors have applied more intensively, and this has given rise to growth in the number of new companies that undertake overseas operations almost immediately (known as born globals). The phenomenon of early internationalization is relatively recent, so there are still many aspects that need to be studied. The objective of this study is to contribute to the scarce empirical literature existing in Spain on this topic, by providing evidence on the possible differences in character of the born-global firms compared with the rest of exporting companies. To this end, the focus of the study is on the analysis of variables such as the size and sector of activity of these companies, and their principal economic and financial magnitudes. A sample of 1,324 Spanish SMEs that were exporting in 2007 was surveyed; of this total approximately 12% identified themselves as having adopted early internationalization. The results obtained indicate that the born-global firms are, on average, smaller; they are classified mostly to the services sector; and they are much more leveraged than the rest of Spanish SMEs that export
