Most technologies have been harnessed to enable educators to conduct their business remotely. However, the social context of technology as a mediating factor needs to be examined to address the perceptions of barriers to learning due to the lack of social interaction between a teacher and a learner in such a setting. Developing Technology Mediation in Learning Environments is an essential reference source that widens the scene of STEM education with an all-encompassing approach to technology-mediated learning, establishing a context for technology as a mediating factor in education. Featuring research on topics such as distance education, digital storytelling, and mobile learning, this book is ideally designed for teachers, IT consultants, educational software developers, researchers, administrators, and professionals seeking coverage on developing digital skills and professional knowledge using technology.

In recent years, due to the increasingly aggressive market competition, it is essential to evaluate the role of logistics and supply chain management skills and applications for the success of any organization or business. The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the fragility of the sustainability of economic organization, production, and supply chains globally. Cases on Supply Chain Management and Lessons Learned From COVID-19 collects compelling case studies, theoretical and empirical research, experiences, and applications on numerous aspects of logistics and supply chain management. It not only focuses on industry and digital transformation and the critical nature of organizational agility, but also presents different methods, techniques, models, and competitive advantage prospects, providing an extremely relevant and current view of the subject matter. Covering topics such as green supply chain management, organizational performance, and supply chain disruptions, this book is the ideal reference source for managers, supply chain specialists, entrepreneurs, business professionals, consultants, researchers, academicians, educators, and students.

This book is based on the true story about my family, the personal memoirs of my father, a young Colombian man, his journey to the United States, the sacrifice, and the struggle in bringing his family to be with him. How a young Hispanic family had to cope with the constant fear of persecution, and threat of deportation while dealing with the pressures of poverty, and learning the thin line between good and bad ambition. Life as an immigrant proved to be very dificult for my father hurling him into the dangerous life of a Colombian Drug Dealer.

In recent years, the rampant development of worldwide communications and powerful modern technologies has reformulated the idea of distance learning and the transmission of higher education content. Combined with these new developments and the outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an apparent need for a thorough discussion on all features of e-learning. Online Distance Learning Course Design and Multimedia in E-Learning disseminates research, experiences, and philosophies surrounding innovation within higher education online teaching and learning environments. It includes case studies of relevant and fruitful applications, practical challenges, and examinations of the most recent innovations. Covering topics such as online management education, student engagement, and gamification, this book is an essential resource for academicians, researchers, educators, pre-service educators, principals, administrators, consultants, instructional designers, technologists, computer scientists, and policymakers.

Naive is a humorous and thought-provoking, coming-of-age story set in Denver, Colorado during the mid 1970s. Nina is a girl caught between different worlds. As Denver continues to struggle with forced integration and the civil rights movement, Nina's divorced parents have different views of what it means to be Hispanic, living in the United States. Her mother feels her own fair skin and willingness to assimilate into the white culture are the keys to success. Nina's father is proud of his Mexican heritage and resents his ex-wife and the shame she is trying to instill in their children because of their dark skin. Meanwhile, Dee, Nina's best friend, who is white, has her own troubles fitting into a family where she just doesn't belong. Dee loves dating foxy, street-wise Chicanos and urges Nina to embrace her Hispanic roots. Instead, Nina has fallen in love with Calvin, a young black man on a football scholarship, who attends a largely white college in a rural Colorado community. Nina confronts racism, date rape, teen pregnancy, dark family secrets and a hatred so strong that it eventually drives someone to murder.

Tesis del ano 2010 en eltema Psicologia - Psicologia del aprendizaje, investigacion de la inteligencia, Nota: -, Universidad Latina de America, Materia: Psicologia - neuropsicologia, Idioma: Espanol, Notas: Esta tesis a servido como base para dos publicaciones en revistas electronicas, una de ellas de la Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico. Ademas su realizacion fue posible gracias a la cooperacion del Instituto de Neurobiologia de la UNAM Campus Juriquilla y el Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia, Resumen: Un individuo presenta un Trastorno de Aprendizaje cuando posee dificultades en lectura, escritura y/o matematicas. Los Potenciales Relacionados con Eventos (PREs) permiten conocer aspectos fisiologicos cerebrales asociados a un proceso cognoscitivo especifico, como el componente N400 que se relaciona con el procesamiento semantico del lenguaje. Para evaluar las alteraciones relacionadas con el procesamiento semantico del lenguaje en ninos con Trastorno del Lenguaje se consideraron dos grupos: ninos con trastorno de lectura (grupo experimental) y ninos sin ninguna alteracion psicologica, psiquiatrica o neurologica (grupo control) entre los cuales se realizaron comparaciones intragrupales e intergrupales, los cuales ejecutaron una tarea semantica mientras se registraba el componente N400. La amplitud del componente N400 indica la actividad neuronal; la latencia es un indicador del tiempo de procesamiento en esa tarea. En esta tesis se hizo un registro electroencefalografico mientras el sujeto leia pares de palabras relacionadas (gato-perro) y no relacionadas (nube-pie); el nino debia responder presionando un boton cuando las palabras estaban asociadas y otro cuando no se asociaban entre si. Para cada individuo se promediaron los segmentos de EEG de la segunda palabra de manera independiente, obteniendo dos PREs: uno cuando estaba precedida por una palabra asociada y otro cuando estaba precedida por una palabra no asociada. Solo se consideraron las respue
