Estado De Derecho En El Marco De La Descentralización En Ecuador, Fernando Carrión Mena

Fernando Carrión Mena

La descentralización no debe ser pensada exclusivamente como un proceso de fortalecimiento unidireccional de la autonomía local desde el ejecutivo nacional; se trata de algo mucho más complejo y más importante que ello: diseñar un nuevo Estado (descentralizado).

Se trata de diseñar un Estado –ni pequeño ni grande- donde haya equilibro de poderes (centralidad) en el conjunto de sus tres órdenes:

• La descentralización horizontal que busca los contrapesos entre las funciones clásicas del Estado moderno: ejecutivo, legislativo, judicial; • La descentralización vertical que persigue los equilibrios entre los niveles que se despliega el Estado: internacional, nacional, regional y local; …

Decision Methods For Vitual Knowledge Collaboration, Barbara I. Dewey

Barbara I. Dewey

Virtual models of knowledge collaboration and access abound in research libraries, but as we move into the 21st century we are developing new ways for strategically advancing knowledge collaboration more broadly and creatively within the research library context. Three areas will be addressed as examples of decision models. First, collaborative decision making to create knowledge rich organizational structures will be discussed. Second, creation of new forms of knowledge through virtual publication by collaboration will be reviewed. Third, development of collaborative learning, teaching, and research spaces will be addressed. Conclusions encompass future-oriented models for knowledge collaboration and access which transcend individuals …

Making It Click: Using An Audience Response System To Engage Students And Assess Learning, Ann Marie Smeraldi

Ann Marie Smeraldi

As accessibility to technology in the classroom increases and promises to improve student engagement and performance, it is easy to be tempted into using wikis, blogs and clickers without fully understanding the implications of their use. Librarians and other educators continuously experiment with new technologies in an attempt to lure Millennials away from their iPods and cell phones, but without careful consideration of the pedagogy that supports the use of these new technologies, their effectiveness as learning tools is diminished. This session will focus on the use of an audience response system (“clickers”) to engage students in active learning during …

Driving Gender: An Analysis Of U.S. Auto Ad Visuals 1925-2005, Pamela K. Morris

Pamela K. Morris

Advertising has been found to be not only a reflection of society, but also the basis for living amongst a group of people. The images in advertisements especially provide ideas and standards for acceptable behavior, social norms and values specific to men and women. Studying advertisement visuals can illuminate power relations in culture. This approach to feminist theory takes a look at how women and others are used to sell products and how these depictions illuminate power.

A framework using cultural, communication and feminist theories is constructed to build an approach for reviewing advertising messages. Focus is on visuals of …
