This thesis will argue that graffiti and street art increase the democratic self-expression values that Christian Welzel’s (2008) democratization theory argues are integral to the process of democratization. In countries where a repressive authoritarian regime allows little room for the population to express themselves, graffiti and street art offer a venue for the voicing of selfexpression val...

Research has demonstrated that Peer Instruction (PI) is an attractive pedagogical practice in computer science classes. PI has been shown to improve final exam performance over standard lecture, reduce failure rates, contribute to increased retention, and be widely valued by students. In addition, a recent study using isomorphic (same-concept) questions found that students are learning during p...

The aim of this work is to present a comparative study of the wages in Spain from the year 1967 to the year 1988. Leaving from a classic model, as it is the MOISSES model (econometric model of the representative series of the Spanish macroeconomics), we obtain two fuzzy models by using these sources of data. Considering the domain of the MOISSES model, and by using an inductive mechanism of hie...

We prove a Liouville type theorem for sign-changing radial solutions of a subcritical semilinear heat equation ut = ∆u + |u|p−1u. We use this theorem to derive a priori bounds, decay estimates, and initial and final blow-up rates for radial solutions of rather general semilinear parabolic equations whose nonlinearities have a subcritical polynomial growth. Further consequences on the existence ...

There is a general presumption that the law should be congruent with morality— that is, that the prohibitions and permissions in the law should correspond to the prohibitions and permissions of morality. And indeed in most areas of domestic law, and perhaps especially in the criminal law, the elements of the law do in general derive more or less directly from the requirements of morality. I wil...

Detecting students at risk of failing is particularly useful and desirable when it is done in a timely manner and accompanied with practical information that can help with remediation. In this paper we investigate ways to detect students at risk of failing early in the semester for timely intervention. The context of our study is a first year computer programming course. We explore whether the ...
