Under rules designed to promote student mobility between EU member-states, students can transfer course credits, at the discretion of universities, in any of the 53 countries that have signed the Lisbon Recognition Convention, "regardless of whether the knowledge, skills and competences were acquired through formal, non-formal or informal learning paths".
Hence, central survey questions, for example (a) how competences are acquired, (b) how skill use helps individuals to maintain and further develop skills, (c) how skills shape labor market outcomes and job mobility over the life course, and (d) whether adults are prepared for the challenges of modern knowledge societies (see OECD 2013a) can be answered only partially on the basis of these data.
Furthermore, these enhancers are first recognized by the pioneer transcription factors FOXA1 and FOXA2 when competence is acquired, while subsequent recruitment of lineage-inductive transcription factors, such as PDX1, leads to enhancer and target gene activation.
On his view, the fundamental skills with which linguistic competence is acquired are skills that originally served, and still continue to serve, quite different, non-linguistic functions.
We report that under conditions selectively promoting neuralization of hESCs towards dorsal neuroepithelial fate, NC competence is acquired much earlier than previously possible.
Increasing evidence suggests that oocyte developmental competence is acquired as a result of the sequential accumulation of RNA, DNA, proteins and cellular organelles during the protracted growth of the oocyte and supporting ovarian follicle (Picton et al., 1998; Gosden, 2002).
In the early phase, from stage 1 to stage 2 (after activation of the AZ), ethylene sensitivity and abscission competence are acquired; and in the second phase, between stage 2 and stage 3 (after shoot tip removal), the active abscission process starts and leads to shoot tip abscission.
The concept of competence is acquiring relevance as core element of educational systems and consequently importance in the job market.
This is not, of course, to say that language is one of the competences that are acquired in this way.
Such competences must be acquired at a pre-voting stage, and this might be achieved by public deliberation.
