Patterns of Italian high school and university students’ attitudes towards physics: an analysis based on semiotic-cultural perspective

The purpose of this study was to analyse Italian high school and university students’ attitudes towards physics using the Semiotic Cultural Psychological Theory (SCPT). In the SCPT framework, attitudes represent how individuals interpret their experience through the mediation of generalized meaning with which they are identified. A view-of-physics questionnaire was used as an instrument to collect data with 1603 high school and university students. Data were analysed through multiple correspondence analysis and cluster analysis. We identified four generalized meanings of physics: (a) interesting and important for society; (b) a quite interesting, but badly taught subject at school and not completely useful for society; (c) difficult to study and irrelevant for society; and (d) a fascinating and protective niche from society. The identified generalized meanings are significantly correlated to the choice to study physics at undergraduate level and to the choice of attending physics-related activities in high school. Implications for research are discussed.

Analysis and design for continuous-time string-connected Takagi–Sugeno systems     

Zsófia Lendek  Paula Raica  Bart De Schutter  Robert Babuška 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》2014

Distributed systems consist of interconnected, lower-dimensional subsystems. For such systems, distributed analysis and design present several advantages, such as modularity, easier analysis and design, and reduced computational complexity. A special case of distributed systems is when the subsystems are connected in a string. Applications include distributed process control, traffic and communication networks, irrigation systems, hydropower valleys, etc. By exploiting such a structure, in this paper, we propose conditions for the distributed stability analysis of Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems connected in a string. These conditions are also extended to observer and controller design and illustrated on numerical examples.  相似文献   

组态视角下平台企业商业模式创新路径研究     

熊爱华  侯德恩 《科研管理》2022,43(12):89-97

为探索多重条件并发对平台企业商业模式创新的影响,基于机会资源一体观构建商业模式创新路径模型,通过对193个样本进行模糊集定性比较分析发现：平台企业商业模式创新路径形成依赖机会开发和资源联动层面要素的组合;机会开发和资源联动层面不同要素的组合形成两类商业模式创新路径,类型1强调模仿型机会开发与资源联动策略组合,类型2强调创新型机会开发与资源联动策略组合;机会开发适配的资源联动方式存在差异,其中模仿型机会开发与资源共享和资源编排匹配良好,而创新型机会开发与资源编排、资源拓展匹配良好。研究结论揭示了平台企业商业模式创新多条等效路径,丰富了商业模式创新前因研究,也为平台企业商业模式创新实践提供了理论指导。  相似文献   

Inclusive Pedagogy in Light of Social Justice. Special Educational Rights and Inclusive Classrooms: on whose terms? A Field Study in Stockholm Suburbs     

Nilani Ljunggren De Silva 《European Journal of Education》2013,48(3):419-435

The question of inclusive education is not straightforward. Despite all its good intentions, inclusive education, in practice faces numerous challenges today. This study analyses these challenges in the Swedish special education context. The author explores special educators’ experiences, possibilities and challenges when applying inclusive education. Findings reveal positive attitudes to the concept of inclusive classrooms. Nevertheless, teachers face more than a few grey areas that need to be put in place in order to achieve socially and cognitively inclusive classrooms.  相似文献   

A methodology for the identification of glass panes of different origin in a single stained glass window: Application on two 13th century windows     

Olivier Schalm  Ine De Raedt  Joost Caen  Koen Janssens 《Journal of Cultural Heritage》2010,11(4):81-492

The chemical composition of 11 glass panes originating from two 13th century non-figurative windows were analyzed by means of Scanning Electron Microscopy–Energy Dispersive X-ray system (SEM-EDX). The windows were discovered in the back-wall of the triforium during the restoration of the choir of the cathedral St. Michael and St. Gudule in Brussels (Belgium). In order to determine if these windows were fabricated with glass of different origin or not, the compositional difference between the panes were compared with the variation in composition as a result of the following causes: (1) compositional fluctuation between panes cut from the same sheet of glass, (2) compositional fluctuation caused when panes are cut from different sheets that were made with the same batch, (3) compositional fluctuation caused when the glass is made from different batches at the same production center, and (4) compositional fluctuation as a result of glass produced at different fabrication centers.  相似文献   

The impact of electric overhead radiant heating on the indoor environment of historic churches     

Lucyna Samek  Anna De Maeyer-Worobiec  Zoya Spolnik  Lszl Bencs  Velichka Kontozova  &#x;ukasz Bratasz  Roman Koz&#x;owski  Ren Van Grieken 《Journal of Cultural Heritage》2007,8(4):361-369

The impact of electric overhead radiant heaters on the microclimate, air flows, transport and deposition of suspended particulate matter (SPM) was monitored between March 2004 and March 2005 in the historic churches of Saint Michael Archangel in Szalowa and Saint Catherine in Cracow (Poland). The measurements show that although irradiation at the floor level increases temperature and reduces relative humidity in the interior of the church, the effect out of the heated zone and for the surfaces sheltered from irradiation is very limited, i.e. their extent is comparable with natural fluctuations inherent to the local climate of the church. The radiant heaters proved to generate little convectional flow of the air. Therefore, the heating system was not found to increase the concentration of SPM indoors; in particular, no re-suspension of particles already present in the church was observed. This work has demonstrated that the overhead radiant heaters are capable of providing localised heat to the areas where people congregate without adversely affecting painted walls and the works of arts displayed in churches. Care, however, should be taken that sensitive works of art are not exposed to the direct infrared radiation.  相似文献

Practical training and internships in engineering education: Educational goals and assessment     

Otto Rompelman  Jan De Vries 《European Journal of Engineering Education》2002,27(2):173-180

In many engineering curricula a period of practical training in industry is either compulsory or advised. Often the educational goals of such a period are defined as 'learning to put knowledge and skills into practice'. The assessment is usually based on a technical report of the activities during the period. In this paper, how the definition of educational objectives led to the introduction of practical training is discussed. These objectives are acquiring insight in the engineering profession, learning to 'survive' in a different culture and learning to apply as well as broadening technical knowledge and skills. Furthermore, an assessment procedure is introduced which allows for testing whether the students have met the objectives.  相似文献
