20 Year Strategy for the Irish Language 2010 to 2030 Progress Report: July 2013 - Sept 2014

DES has commenced a review of education in the Gaeltacht with a view to identifying options for educational provision in primary and post-primary schools in Gaeltacht areas of varying linguistic profiles as well as clarifying the Department’s policy with regard to teaching through Irish in such schools. The review will also look at the impact of pre-school provision on primary education in Gaeltacht areas. Furthermore, the review will identify support measures for teachers’ practice that would be required to improve teaching through Irish in Gaeltacht schools. This review will complement the implementation of the Gaeltacht Act 2012.

20 Year Strategy for the Irish Language 2010-2030

The objective of Government policy in relation to Irish is to increase on an incremental basis the use and knowledge of Irish as a community language. Specifically, the Government’s aim is to ensure that as many citizens as possible are bilingual in both Irish and English. It is an integral component of the Government’s Irish language policy that close attention be given to its place in the Gaeltacht, particularly in light of research which indicates that the language’s viability as a household and community language in the Gaeltacht is under threat. The aim of Government policy is also to: increase the number of families throughout the country who use Irish as the daily language of communication; provide linguistic support for the Gaeltacht as an Irish-speaking community and to recognise the issues which arise in areas where Irish is the household and community language; ensure that in public discourse and in public services the use of Irish or English will be, as far as practical, a choice for the citizen to make and that over time more and more people throughout the State will choose to do their business in Irish; and ensure that Irish becomes more visible in our society, both as a spoken language by our citizens and also in areas such as signage and literature

Generació automàtica de l'esquema de bases de dades relacional d'una aplicació a partir del seu diagrama de classes representat en XML i creació automàtica d'interfícies de control d'intercanvi d'informació

En aquest projecte, amb la finalitat d'analitzar per mitjà d'un exemple (la base de dades d'una botiga que opera en línia) algunes de les possibilitats que dóna XML, s'ha construït un sistema que permet generar bases de dades relacionals (amb SQL) a partir de diagrames de classes definits en XML. D?aquesta manera es mostra la flexibilitat que aporta XML a la definició, el processament i la transformació dels documents.

Eines E-Learning UOC : Detecció de plagi en documents OpenOffice.org

En aquest treball primer s'estudia en què consisteix el plagi i de quines maneres es pot cometre i detectar. Posteriorment, s'aplica tot aquest coneixement a la implementació d'una utilitat que poden utilitzar els consultors de la UOC per detectar plagi en els documents en format OpenOffice.org presentats pels alumnes. El resultat d'aquest treball serà, per tant, aquesta memòria així com l'aplicació desenvolupada.
