Educazione ai mass media. Un esempio di didattica laboratoriale
Education and mass media: an example of workshop teaching

description: La strategia didattica del laboratorio propone l’esperienza di insegnamento/apprendimento sottoforma di ricerca, di sperimentazione attiva da parte del singolo e/o del gruppo di autonome strategie di costruzione della conoscenza: in esso deve essere possibile, sulla base delle proprie conoscenze e anche seguendo la propria creatività, sperimentare le modalità didattiche del ‘problem solving’, così come quelle del ‘learning by doing’, quindi smontare e rimontare in prima persona, distruggere e ricreare in forma nuova, proporsi obiettivi, discuterli in gruppo, sot-toporli a verifica sperimentale, valutare i risultati ottenuti. In esso, la funzione dell’insegnante è quella del consigliere, di chi garantisce un supporto “soffice”, nella direzione di uno scaffolding attento a non sostituire i bambini nella costruzione condivisa della conoscenza. A partire da alcune riflessioni di natura generale, il laboratorio presentato nell’articolo si propone di analizzare la valenza educativa del mezzo televisivo nei suoi aspetti positivi e nelle sue potenziali derive negative. Il punto di partenza è rappresentato dalla decostruzione di un messaggio mediale proposto come provocazione, attraverso un’analisi puntuale delle differenti fasi narrative e grafiche dello stesso, facendo attenzione sia al significato sia alla modalità utilizzata per esprimerlo attraverso il linguaggio filmico.
description: The educational strategy of the workshop provides a learning experience in the form of research, active experimentation with knowledge building strategies  by individuals or groups  working in autonomy using their own  existing knowledge and creativity  in problem solving activities, thus “learning by doing”.  It consists of actively deconstructing and constructing, destroying and recreating in a new form, setting objectives and discussing in groups, undergoing experimental testing and evaluating the results. In essence, the function of the teacher is that of a councillor who provides “soft” support through scaffolding and takes care to provide the necessary space for children in the process of shared knowledge-building.
Starting out with a number of reflections regarding the workshop described in this article, we move on to analyse the educational value of television and its positive and negative potential. The starting point is the provocative representation of the deconstruction of a media message by way of an analysis of its different narrative and graphic phases paying particular attention to meaning and the means used to convey it in filmic language.

description: L’articolo rende conto di un progetto di ricerca-formazione, realizzato nell’anno scolastico 2009-10 e promosso dal Coordinamento Pedagogico del Comune di Bologna, che ha coinvolto 15 sezioni di scuola dell’infanzia situate nel Quartiere San Donato. Il progetto si è configurato come una ricerca valutativa orientata a introdurre nelle scuole procedure di valutazione della qualità educativa e a sostenere – all’interno del gruppo di insegnanti coinvolti – processi di formazione in servizio e di riprogettazione educativa e didattica. Lo strumento di rilevazione dei dati, utilizzato assumendo le indicazioni metodologiche di M. Ferrari (1994) come riferimento e, al contempo, come occasione di riflessione critica su di esse, è stato quello della Scala di Osservazione e Valutazione della Scuola dell’Infanzia (SOVASI). Dopo un breve inquadramento teorico della ricerca, le autrici presentano un’analisi dei risultati complessivi inerenti gli aspetti di qualità delle scuole coinvolte, le riflessioni critiche sulle procedure e lo strumento utilizzate, le modalità di conduzione degli incontri di restituzione dei dati e come esse sono state realizzate dalle ri-cercatrici ai fini della promozione della professionalità degli insegnanti.
description: This paper describes a training-research project promoted by the Educational Coordination of Bologna Municipality and involving 15 Kindergarten sections in a district of Bologna city. The research was conducted in the school year 2009-2010.
The project was planned as an Evaluation Research oriented to introduce some Quality Evaluation proceedings into the Kindergarten and to promote, into the group of the teachers that have been involved, some processes of in-service training and educational planning. The Scale for Observation and Evaluation of Kindergarten SOVASI has been used following the methodological suggestions given by M. Ferrari (1994) as a reference and an opportunity for critical reflexion on the scale itself.
After a brief report of the theoretical framework of the research, the authors present an analysis of the results concerning the Quality Evaluation of the Kindergartens, some critical reflexions on the proceedings and on the tool that has been used and the ways the researches conducted the data restitution meetings with the teachers in order to promote their professionalism.

description: This paper looks at criteria on how education service providers' websites could benefit their potential students from overseas. Effective design of education website is important as web users are typically fastidious and want information fast--this serves as the background of this study. The study focuses on three selected education institutions' websites; identifying their strengths and weaknesses, followed by recommendation on how institutions can improve their websites to gain good impression or perception from potential customers, such that they will re-visit the websites to get more information. Ultimately, the goal is to turn potential students to real students. Three education service providers (all located in Penang, Malaysia) have been identified and used for this study. They are INTI International College Penang, KDU College Penang and Olympia College Penang. These websites are examined against a list of criteria: source, layout, accessibility, speed, navigability, content, accuracy, level of details, current information and appearance. Based on the study done, the KDU College website is the best website compared to the other two colleges. Nevertheless, further improvement can be made in terms of displaying all course fees, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for international and local student admission, and contact information for faculty, staff and students.

description: Viaggio, avventura, ricerca di sé si coniugano in diversi generi narrativi: possiamo far riferimento alle fiabe avventurose, o ai racconti dell'avventura classica, fino ad introdurre il contemporaneo, e molto significativo, genere del Fantasy e la sua diffusione di successo nella società occidentale. Con il termine Fantasy si viene ad indicare un genere letterario che rappresenta le dimensioni immaginarie dell'altrove e di favolosi mondi diversi dal nostro. Il fantastico ed il meraviglioso non rappresentano però evasioni dalla realtà, ma interpretazioni di essa. Come le fiabe e le leg-gende, il meraviglioso possiede una dimensione sacra, universale. Questo saggio sottolinea il valore narrativo/libertario/emancipativo della trilogia Queste oscure ma-terie di Philip Pullman, uno dei più grandi autori contemporanei di letteratura per ragazzi.
description: The “shimmering dust” of knowledge and the conflict between authority and freedom in the writings of Phillip Pullman. The new fantasy routes of literature for the young.
Travels, adventures, and the search for identity come together in different narrative genres such as adventure tales, stories of classical adventures, or the more recent, and very important Fantasy genre with its widespread success in Western society. The term ‘Fantasy’ is used to indicate a literary genre which represents the imaginary dimensions of “Fantasyland” of fabulous worlds which are different to ours. However, the fantastic and the wonderful are not an escape from reality, but, rather interpretations of it. As with fables and legends, the marvellous or wonderful encompasses a sacred, universal dimension. This paper highlights the narrative/emancipator/broadminded value of the trilogy His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman, one of the great contemporary authors of literature for the young.

description: Early administration of antibiotics is associated with better survival in sepsis, thus screening and early detection for sepsis is of clinical importance. Current risk stratification scores used for bedside detection of sepsis, for example Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) and National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2), are primarily validated for death and intensive care. The primary aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of qSOFA and NEWS2 for a composite outcome of sepsis with organ dysfunction, infection-related mortality within <72 h, or intensive care due to an infection. Retrospective analysis of data from two prospective, observational, multicentre, convenience trials of sepsis biomarkers at emergency departments were performed. Cohort A consisted of 526 patients with a diagnosed infection, 288 with the composite outcome. Cohort B consisted of 645 patients, of whom 269 had a diagnosed infection and 191 experienced the composite outcome. In Cohort A and B, NEWS2 had significantly higher area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), 0.80 (95% CI 0.75–0.83) and 0.70 (95% CI 0.65–0.74), than qSOFA, AUC 0.70 (95% CI 0.66–0.75) and 0.62 (95% CI 0.57–0.67) p < 0.01 and, p = 0.02, respectively for the composite outcome. NEWS2 was superior to qSOFA for screening for sepsis with organ dysfunction, infection-related mortality or intensive care due to an infection both among infected patients and among undifferentiated patients at emergency departments.

description: This dissertation looks at the concept of “trafficking in persons” and how it has been created, interpreted and utilized in the international sphere and in Canada. Using the approach of Critical Legal Pluralism (CLP), it examines the legal regulation of trafficking as being created through a bi-directional constitutive process, with paradigmatic conceptions of trafficking having a hand in creating regulation as well as being influenced by it. Through a review of data retrieved using a variety of qualitative methods as well as classic legal analysis, this dissertation explores the operation of various social actors and their effect on the determination of what trafficking is, and who is worthy of protection from it. In Part One the international framework is outlined through a discussion of the creation of the dominant paradigm of trafficking and implementations of it. Chapter One traces the history of the anti-trafficking movement by looking at the development of the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, and by examining the creation of dominant discourses around trafficking. Chapter 2 uses CLP to examine the influences of a variety of actors on the creation of these discourses and the repercussions the discourses have had on the implementation of anti-trafficking policies. Part Two then turns to the Canadian context. In Chapter Three, classical legal methodologies are employed to discuss Canada’s obligations under international law with respect to trafficking, as well as the creation of definitions of trafficking in the Canadian legal regulatory context. Chapter Four then reviews data from Canada to discuss the ways in which various actors have been involved in the creation and operation of the dominant paradigm and how it in turn affects the operation of trafficking-related legal constructs. Ultimately, it is found that due to the influence of the dominant paradigm and the motivations that aid in its operation, programs and policies framed under the rubric of “trafficking” necessarily fail to achieve meaningful redress for the groups they purport to benefit. On this basis, an alternative approach is suggested to address phenomena currently being dealt with through anti-trafficking frameworks. A move is suggested away from a focus on “trafficking” to a sectoral approach, accounting for the complexities and histories of individuals subject to exploitative circumstances.

description: This article focuses on dealing with the following tasks: is there any difference between the institute of control and the institute of assessment in the system of education quality assurance? Which of the two impacts the quality of higher education more? How do control and assessment coexist in the Russian educational system? What are the prospects for the development of the education quality assurance system in the Russian Federation?
The article consists of three parts. The first part presents a brief comparative outline of control and assessment as the institutes of the education quality assurance system, the second one, based on the essence of different methodological ap-proaches to quality (norm-oriented and value-oriented approaches), sets out the current types of assessment and control in Russian education; the third part describes possible ways of developing the education quality assurance system in Russia against the background of its integration into the European educational system.

Design, manufacturing and testing of hoop wound tubular in-plane shear specimens.

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Mechanical.

description: High performance fibre reinforced polymer composite materials have become popular replacements for many traditional materials. Unfortunately, some of the methods used to determine composite material properties have not developed as quickly. In particular, there are presently more than ten different test methods used to determine in-plane shear properties. Many of these methods are criticized for their inability to produce a pure shear state in the test region. Tubular in-plane shear specimens, however, are generally accepted as the only specimens which do (at least theoretically) produce a pure shear state. In this study, design, manufacturing and testing procedures were developed for tubular in-plane shear specimens. A specimen was designed which included a thin-walled composite tube and an internal tapered bonded end fitting. In the manufacturing study, techniques were developed to fabricate a tube of excellent quality with high geometrical tolerances. Tubular in-plane shear specimens were then tested and the results compared to test results for three of the most popular tests in use today, namely, the $90\sp\circ$ Iosipescu, $10\sp\circ$ off-axis and $\pm$45$\sp\circ$ tensile in-plane shear test methods. The four tests were compared on the basis of their respective shear states and on their ability to produce shear modulus values which could be used to predict the tensile modulus of shear-sensitive laminates. Results indicate that, though the tubular shear specimens produce the most consistent state of pure shear, they do not accurately predict the tensile moduli of actual laminates. Of the five laminates tested, the $\pm$45$\sp\circ$ tensile shear test best predicted the tensile modulus of four laminates and was next best for the remaining laminate. It was found that as laminate shear sensitivity decreased, the suitability of different test methods changed.

Une sémiotique de l'idéologie dans l'oeuvre romanesque de Tchicaya U Tam'si.

Subjects: subject: Literature, African.

description: L'oeuvre de Tchicaya U Tam'Si, ecrivain congolais contemporain (1931-1988) et figure marquante de la litterature negro-africaine d'expression francaise, s'illustre par sa richesse, sa diversite et sa longevite. En effet, cette oeuvre, riche de l'experience de l'ecrivain dans la pratique des genres constitutifs de la litterature africaine, la poesie, le theatre, les recits, la nouvelle et le roman, traverse l'histoire coloniale et post-coloniale de l'Afrique en reactualisant les rapports esthetiques et ideologiques de la litterature africaine francophone a ses univers de production. La these, d'inspiration sociocritique, procede a une analyse socio-semiotique et historique des quatre romans de cette oeuvre, romans eux-memes constitues en totalite signifiante par l'ecrivain: Les Cancrelats (1980), Les Medures ou les orties de mer (1982), Les Phalenes (1984) et Ces fruits si doux de l'arbre a pain (1987). Elle identifie ainsi, dans l'organisation narrative et discursive des textes, les modalites de fonctionnement d'un discours progressiste proche de celui de la bourgeoisie nationaliste des independances, et d'un discours neo-intellectualiste identifiable a celui de l'intelligentsia africaine post-coloniale; des discours definis, toutefois, dans les termes de l'histoire personnelle de l'ecrivain. Dans son articulation, l'etude s'organise en trois parties consacrees respectivement a l'univers de signification des textes, a l'organisation des personnages, et a l'organisation des recits. La premiere partie pose les conditions de production et de signification des textes a travers l'histoire de l'ecrivain et des mouvements d'idees qui ont marque son parcours litteraire: la vie socio-politique et culturelle de la France des annees 1940-1950, les "Negritudes", le surrealisme, le marxisme et l'existentialisme. Elle pose egalement les conditions de signification des textes a partir du cadre esthetique et discursif de la litterature negro-africaine d'expression francaise: la naissance de cette derniere et son evolution suivant les mutations de la societe africaine coloniale et post-coloniale. Elle presente, enfin, le fondement semantique des textes. La deuxieme partie analyse le systeme des personnages dans sa representativite socio-historique et politique: la mise en texte conjointe de personnages historiques referentiels et de personnages purement fictifs dont le symbolisme narratif se veut representatif des nouvelles hierarchies de la societe africaine en mutation. La troisieme partie analyse, pour sa part, la portee ideologique des formes prises par le discours romanesque de Tchicaya U Tam'Si. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Background: The current standard endpoint to assess disability accumulation in multiple sclerosis (MS) clinical trials is the time to the first confirmed disability progression, which excludes subsequent progression events. Including recurrent progression events may permit a more comprehensive assessment of treatment effects on disability progression. Objective: To propose a definition of recurrent disability progression events and to compare time-to-first and recurrent event analysis. Methods: Recurrent disability progression events were defined by expanding the recommended first event definition. Marginal recurrent event methods (negative binomial model, Lin–Wei–Yang–Ying model) were compared with Cox regression in data from three randomized controlled trials in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) and primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), and in simulated randomized controlled trial data. Results: The recurrent event analyses included a substantially larger number of progression events compared with the time-to-first-event analyses (+7.5% and +9.9% in the RMS trials and +22.7% in the PPMS trial). The increase in the number of events resulted in more precise treatment effect estimates and a corresponding gain in statistical power. Conclusion: Our results support the use of recurrent event data analysis, especially in progressive MS trials, to improve estimates of treatment effects, increase statistical power, and better capture the clinically meaningful long-term disability progression experience.

Based on this we will try to identify stakeholders, common goals and potential policy proposals. The principles of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) are well aligned with the core tenets of science, i.e., the sharing of knowledge and the demand for reproducibility of results. Nevertheless, FOSS is still rather the exception than the rule for the majority of scientific domains.In this session we will discuss the state of FOSS within the various European scientific communities.

Stepwise enhancement and higher-order programming in Prolog

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper presents two views of stepwise enhancement, one a pragmatic syntax-based approach and the other a semantic approach based on higher-order functions and relating to shape and polytypism. The approaches are outlined, and the perhaps surprisingly close relationship between the two described. By combining the advantages of both approaches, it is shown how more code in both functional and logic programming languages can be constructed in a systematic way. We describe a prototype system that allows higher-order predicate definitions to be produced automatically from type definitions or Horn clause skeletons and relate some experiences in using higher-order programming in Prolog.
The efficacy of warfarin for the prevention of stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: Measuring its minimal clinically important difference from the patients' perspective.

description: Objectives. (1) To develop a probability trade-off technique (PTOT) for determining the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of warfarin therapy from the patients' perspective; (2) to estimate the MCID for the efficacy of warfarin to prevent stroke in the treatment of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) from the perspective of patients with this disease and who have experienced a course of warfarin therapy; (3) to assess two different methods of eliciting the patients' MCID. The two elicitation methods were: (1) ping-ponging (PP), in which the hypothetical efficacy of warfarin to prevent stroke was varied from one extreme to the other until the patients' MCID was determined; and (2) starting at known efficacy (SKE), in which the hypothetical efficacy was started at a midpoint value and then incrementally increased or decreased until the patients' MCID was determined. Conclusions. The MCID for this group of patients was much smaller than the known efficacy of warfarin to prevent stroke in patients with NVAF. The PTOT, using the flipchart approach, was well accepted and appeared to improve their knowledge of their disease, and its consequences and treatment. The method of elicitation used to determine the patients' MCIDs can have a clinically important effect on their responses. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Recent research into writing process of second language writers has produced a range of different conclusions: the composing process is different in the second language (L2) than first language (L1) writing (Silva, 1993); the writing strategies are similar in both L1 and L2 writing (Matsumoto, 1995); adult L2 writers are less effective in their L2 than L1 academic writing (Silva, 1993). In the review of literature, Silva's studies reveal that L2 composing is more difficult and less effective than L1 composing (Silva, 1993, 1992). Yet other studies, German (1994) and Matsumoto (1995) suggest that writers transfer their writing strategies from L1 to L2 provided they possess L2 grammatical proficiency (Berman, 1994). The object of the study was to explore content generating and planning processes in proficient L2 writers. Eight participants took part in this study; each participant was proficient in two languages: English and Spanish and proficient in academic writing in both languages (according to the writing test given). The participants' first and second languages were either English or Spanish and they had either studied beyond secondary level in both languages or worked in both languages where academic writing was required. The researcher collected data through individual interviews, participant observation and think-aloud protocols during writing, and the writing samples. A profile of each participant, addressing his/her content-generating and planning in writing, was developed. Moreover the study used Bereiter and Scardamalia's model to explain the process. Similarities not differences between L1 and L2 composing processes were found. The only difference between L1 and L2 content generating and planning was evident in content generating: English writers generated more utterances during think-aloud sessions than Spanish writers in both L1 and L2. It has not provided enough support for the point of view that L1 composing process is different than L2 composing for adult L1 and L 2 proficient writers. In addition, the study has found similarities between L1 and L2 strategies used during the writing sessions.

description: Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS) is a novel hyperinflammatory syndrome associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. It predominantly affects children (MIS-C) a few weeks after a usually asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and is only rarely seen in adults above 21 years (MIS-A). Only scarce data on histological findings in both pediatric and adult patients has been published so far. An 18-year-old male patient was admitted to hospital in a febrile state, which progressed to severe cardiogenic shock and multi-organ failure requiring extracorporeal life support. Myocardial biopsy revealed small vessel-associated immune cell infiltrates. Diagnosis of MIS-C was made after ruling out all potential differential diagnosis. Use of immunosuppressive treatment with steroids, interleukin-1 blockade and high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins resulted in the patient's full recovery. Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS) is a new differential diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction in pediatric and adult patients. The lack of myocardial necrosis differentiates the disease from other viral myocarditis and offers an explanation for the fast response to immunomodulatory therapy and the favorable prognosis. The preceding SARS-CoV-2 infection might only have been mildly symptomatic or even asymptomatic.

description: This investigation consists of the evaluation of a program of intervention psicoeducativo based on images, applied to nine children with Widespread Disorder of the Development (TGD) of autistic type, which ages were fluctuating between 3 and 8 years of age that they were present at Temuco's city. The program focused to activate the development of the dimensions of anticipation and flexibility in children with TGD. For this, it was applied to them the Inventory of Development of Autistic Spectrum  IDAS. Once executed the program they were evaluated again by the same instrument, significant differences being demonstrated in the dimensions of anticipation t = 0,039 (P <0.05); in addition results notexpected were found, in the scale of disorder of social development t = 0,040 (P <0.05). There were no significant evidences in the dimension of sense of own activity, a result being obtained of t = 0, 57 (P> 0, 05). The results reflect the efficiency of the application of the program of intervention with images which intention was to reach to the systematizing of the work with children and girls who suffer some widespread disorder of the development.

description: Background. Bystander CPR is associated with improved survival from cardiac arrest, the first cause of mortality in Canada. Objectives. To improve bystander CPR rates and survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods. A retrospective and prospective analysis of data on cardiac arrest, a systematic review of bystander CPR, a trial designed for improving survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Results. 7707 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (1995--2000) with bystander CPR rate (16.5%) and overall survival to discharge (4%). Cardiac arrests are in residential locations (84.7%). Increasing bystander CPR rates could significantly improve survival in residential dwellings (OR 3.6; 95%CI 2.9--4.6). We systematically reviewed 221 publications to plan the intervention for our suggested cluster randomized trial. The study is feasible over a 3 to 5-year period. Conclusions. Public health intervention in the field of bystander CPR will improve survival from cardiac arrest. Our study could significantly affect other international communities equipped with an existing EMS.

description: In occasione della nuova edizione del Poema pedagogico di Anton Semenovic Makarenko (a cura di Nicola Siciliani de Cumis, Roma, Albatros, 2009) il presente arti-colo prova a riferire alcuni spunti che, ricavati dal testo e dai contributi critici che lo precedono, testimoniano quanto ancora attuale e attualizzabile possa essere la lezione del grande pedagogista sovietico. Si metteranno particolarmente in evidenza le riflessioni relative all’importanza del collettivo come forma identitaria e di concezione della socialità, del lavoro come parte del processo educativo e della dignità umana come bene supremo da tutelare e su cui riporre fiducia.
