Integrated guidance is an approach which makes effective use of digital technologies. It is comprised of an ontological basis informed by critical social justice, a pedagogic basis informed by social learning theories and…
This chapter explores stand-up as an affective arrangement, i.e., as goal-driven phatic labor that rests on forging and manipulating affective relations – connection for short – between performer and audience. Drawing on linguistic/semiotic anthropological work on phaticity as well as feminist work on affect, it attends to the manner in which this affective and connective dynamic is discurs…
Energy‐dependent full‐field transmission soft X‐ray microscopy is a powerful technique that provides chemical information with spatial resolution at the nanoscale. Oxygen K‐level transitions can be optimally detected, and we used this technique to study the discharge products of lithium‐oxygen batteries, where this element undergoes a complex chemistry, involving at least three differ…
This chapter aims to describe current and emerging roles of spontaneous reporting systems (SRSs) for assessing and monitoring drug safety. Moreover, it offers a perspective on the near future, which entails the so-called era of Big Data, keeping in mind both regulator and researcher viewpoints. After a panorama on key data sources and analyses of post-marketing data of adverse drug reactions, a…
Research on the evolution of the surface roughness of coarse sand particles that were dumped in January 2020 at Los Locos beach in Torrevieja (Alicante, Spain) is conducted. This sample came from a quarry and presented a high angularity and roughness on the surface of its particles. After a year and a half of dumping the quarry material on the beach, a high degree of decrease in the roughness o…
A preventive archeology study was recently conducted in the Caorle area (Province of Venice). Several new datasets have been now managed by computerized analysis with the aim of protect archaeological heritage and, possibly, to realize new predictive models for archaeological research and for landscape management.
