“Bionopoly” as a Gamechanger? Effects of Gamification on Learning Success, Motivation and Activation Among Medical Students in a Biochemistry Course

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gamification is characterized by the use of gaming elements in a non‐gaming context. This concept is commonly applied in teaching to create a more meaningful and activating learning environment. The major aim of this study was to compare possible effects of gamification on a traditional interactive teaching concept in a biochemistry course on ...

Wage curve versus Phillips curve: a microeconomic estimation for the Spanish case

Análisis Económico, 2010
The aim of this paper is to test for the existence of a wage curve for the Spanish economy between 1994 and 1996. The results confirm the negative relation between the level of nominal wages and the unemployment rate in local labor markets.

Unemployment rate and wage growth in Brazil: evidence from a Markov-switching model

Economia Aplicada, 2020
This paper has the purpose to investigate the relationship between unemployment rate and wage growth for the Brazilian economy from 2000 to 2016, by means of a Markov-switching regression model.

From Phillips curve to wage curve [PDF]

De Economist, 1992
In most traditional macroeconomic models for The Netherlands the wage equation is specified by a Phillips curve, in which wage growth is negatively related to the unemployment rate. This paper shows, however, that wage formation can better be described by the so-called wage curve, in which the wage level, instead of wage growth, depends negatively on ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

THE PHILLIPS CURVE IN PORTUGAL

Análise Econômica, 2013
This paper estimates the Phillips curve in Portugal using the Johansen Method, with the wage inflation rate as a dependent variable, based on annual data from the period 1954-1995. The main conclusions are as follows. Firstly, in the long term, the wage inflation rate relates positively to the inflation rate and negatively to the unemployment rate, as ...

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Beveridgean Phillips Curve

This paper proposes a new, Beveridgean model of the Phillips curve. While the New Keynesian Phillips Curve is based on monopolistic pricing under price-adjustment costs, the Beveridgean Phillips curve is based on directed-search pricing under price-adjustment costs. Under directed-search pricing, prices respond to slack instead of marginal costs.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Early evolutionary history of the seed

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...
