Pràctica 1: Aspectes del desenvolupament evolutiu en la legislació

Aquesta pràctica pretén que l’alumnat tinga un acostament al decret que estableix el currículum del segon cicle d’Educació Infantil a la Comunitat Valenciana des de l’enfocament de la psicologia evolutiva. S’analitzaran els aspectes principals del desenvolupament: físic, cognitiu, afectiu, social i moral que apareixen en el decret i la importància que tenen per a l’evolució del xiquet o xiqueta. De la mateixa manera, s’estudiaran les variables contextuals (família, escola, entorn pròxim, etc.) que influeixen en aquest desenvolupament.

Pràctica 5. Aspectes del desenvolupament en la legislació de l’escola infantil del primer cicle

L’educació infantil, com a etapa educativa amb entitat pròpia, està reconeguda a la Llei Orgànica 2/2006, de 3 de maig, d’educació (LOE) i en les disposicions que la desenvolupen. En aquesta pràctica es pretén en primer lloc, contextualitzar aquesta etapa en la legislació vigent, coneixent la seua estructura i organització, i en segon lloc analitzar i reflexionar sobre els aspectes fonamentals del desenvolupament en què es basen el Reial Decret 1630/2006 i el Decret 37/2008. Per altra banda, analitzarem les variables contextuals que arreplega la legislació i que influeixen en el desenvolupament del xiquet d’edat infantil.

Organizational design, quality management and competitive advantage in hotels

Purpose – The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between practices of quality management (QM) and the characteristics of organizational design, and QM and competitive advantage. Design/methodology/approach – The study uses a partial least squares approach to test these relationships in 350 hotels in Spain. Findings – The findings show that QM influences specialization, formalization and interdepartmental interactions, and that QM practices influence both cost and differentiation competitive advantage. The results also indicate the importance of QM strategic and operational systems as practices that have a key impact on the characteristics of organizational design. Similarly, the QM operational system is key in the relationship between QM and cost competitive advantage. Finally, the QM operational, information and strategic systems positively influence differentiation competitive advantage. Practical implications – When hotels adopt QM practices, there will be significant changes in a number of organizational variables, including specialization, formalization and interdepartmental interactions. This paper provides empirical evidence that QM practices improve both cost and differentiation competitive advantage in the hotel industry. Originality/value – There has been little research on the effects of QM on organizational design in the hotel industry. The contribution of this paper is that analyze the effects of QM on organizational design and competitive advantage, extending knowledge about these issues in a specific sector.

Hand in hand:privatising five star hotels in Egypt through the stock market will enhance the latter's role as well as set an example of the benefits that could be gained from privatisation

This thesis examines the possibility of privatising public owned five star hotels in Egypt through its stock market in order to give a boost to the Egyptian privatisation programme and to help activate its stock market. To explore these aspects, two main technical exercises were executed. First the writer constructed, for the first time in Egypt, a daily price index for Cairo Stock Exchange and an index for the tourism sector, in order to analyze the efficiency of the capital market. This technical analysis showed that Cairo stock exchange is inefficient, stagnant and undergoes minimal fluctuations, especially when compared to other developed and emerging markets. Second, given the importance and complexity of the valuation of SOEs prior to their privatisation, a sample of three five star hotels that could be prime candidates for privatisation via the stock market in Egypt were selected and a detailed financial analysis for the three hotels was concluded. The result was a valuation range for the three hotels using various valuation methods. Nevertheless it was found out that the final value of hotels will be determined by the market itself. Depite the inefficiency of Cairo Stock Exchange, the thesis did not rule out privatisation through the stock market. On the contrary it cited several examples of developing countries that were able to successfully privatise some of their SOEs via their rudimentary capital markets. Finally, the thesis recommended that five star hotels could be pefect candidates for privatisation via the stock market in Egypt. This is because five star hotels are profitable, privately managed, non strategic and not highly capital intensive businesses. In addition, they do not suffer from overstaffing and the industry in which they operate i.e. tourism sector, has high growth prospects and is of an international nature. Therefore it is anticipated that privatisation of five star hotels can attract a lot of investors because of the relatively high returns. This in turn will help activate and popularize the capital market in Egypt. At the same time the benefits of privatisation would be more visible which will give more momentum to the privatisation programme and make it more politically acceptable.

Occupational exposure to particles during hotel´s rooms cleaning

Background: The majority of studies investigated ambient particles, although in most industrialized countries people spend most of their time indoors and significant emissions of fine and ultrafine particles leading to human exposure are caused by various indoor tasks, including cleaning tasks. Objective: To characterize the occupational exposure to particles during cleaning of hotel's rooms. Methodology: Measurements of mass concentration and particle number concentration were performed before and during cleaning tasks in two rooms with different floor types (wood and carpet) with the equipment Lighthouse, model 3016 IAQ. Results: Considering mass concentration, particles with higher were responsable for higher leves of contamination, particularly PM5.0 and PM10.0. However, considering the particle number concentration, the smaller particle size obtained the higher values. Conclusion: It was observed higher number of particles of the smaller size in all tasks, which is associated with worse health effects. It was observed that the room with wood in the floor has lower values when compared to the room with carpet. The tasks with greater exposure were the 'vacuuming' and 'clean up powder'.
