Precise vs General Feedback in Reducing Field-Dependence
1980
Summary.-To investigate the effect of feedback on performance of the Rod-and-frame Test the standard test procedure mas altered. The result of the alteration was a procedure which was called the Rod-and-frame Test as a Learning Task. On this task the subiect has to adjust the rod to the vertical twice in succession from each tilting position, whereby he is permitred a maximum of 10 trials in each tilting position and a range of tolerance of elo. After each trial the subject is given feedback about his performance. An experiment was conducted with 30 male and 30 female students to investigate whether a precise feedback giving both the direction and the degree of the rod's deviation from the …
Convergence Theorems for Varying Measures Under Convexity Conditions and Applications
2022
AbstractIn this paper, convergence theorems involving convex inequalities of Copson’s type (less restrictive than monotonicity assumptions) are given for varying measures, when imposing convexity conditions on the integrable functions or on the measures. Consequently, a continuous dependence result for a wide class of differential equations with many interesting applications, namely measure differential equations (including Stieltjes differential equations, generalized differential problems, impulsive differential equations with finitely or countably many impulses and also dynamic equations on time scales) is provided.
On dependence of sets of functions on the mean value of their elements
2009
The paper considers, for a given closed bounded set M ⊂ R m and K = (0,1) n ⊂ R n , the set M = {h ϵ L2 (K;R m ) | h(x) ϵ M a.e.x ϵ K} and its subsets It is shown that, if a sequence {hk } ⊂ coM converges to an element hk ϵ M(hk ) there is h‘k ϵ M(ho ) such that h'k - hk → 0 as k → ∞ . If, in addition, the set M is finite or M is the convex hull of a finite set of elements, then the multivalued mapping h → M(h) is lower semicontinuous on coM. First published online: 14 Oct 2010
Assessment of tobacco dependence curricula in Italian dental hygiene schools
2013
The aim of this study was to assess the level of tobacco dependence education offered by Italian dental hygiene programs. A fifty-question survey was mailed to the thirty-one active public and private dental hygiene programs in Italy during the 2008-09 academic year. The survey assessed faculty confidence in teaching tobacco treatment, which courses contained tobacco dependence content, the number of minutes spent on specific content areas, and the level of clinical competence that dental hygiene graduates should be able to demonstrate. Surveys were returned by sixteen programs for a response rate of 52 percent. Respondents indicated tobacco dependence education was included in clinic or cl…
Measuring Spatiotemporal Dependencies in Bivariate Temporal Random Sets with Applications to Cell Biology
2008
Analyzing spatiotemporal dependencies between different types of events is highly relevant to many biological phenomena (e.g., signaling and trafficking), especially as advances in probes and microscopy have facilitated the imaging of dynamic processes in living cells. For many types of events, the segmented areas can overlap spatially and temporally, forming random clumps. In this paper, we model the binary image sequences of two different event types as a realization of a bivariate temporal random set and propose a nonparametric approach to quantify spatial and spatiotemporal interrelations using the pair correlation, cross-covariance, and the Ripley K functions. Based on these summary st…
Una lectura teológica del sermón de José María Cos
2015
<p>El presente trabajo hace una lectura teológica de un sermón insurgente de José María Cos y puede ser considerado un capítulo en la historia de la teología en América Latina, un área todavía poco desarrollada, y es necesario hacer nuevos estudios en este campo. El artículo se inserta en la nueva historiografía que se ha interesado por la religiosidad de los curas insurgentes y resalta la motivación cristiana del padre Cos, quien se había volcado hacia la praxis política de la independencia de México motivado en primera instancia por su fe cristiana. El artículo concluye aseverando que José María Cos forma entonces parte de una larga tradición de sacerdotes políticos en la historia d…
"Indépendance Cha Cha": African pop music since the independence era
2010
Investigating why Latin American music came to be the soundtrack of the independence era, this contribution offers an overview of musical developments and cultural politics in certain sub-Saharan African countries since the 1960s. Focusing first on how the governments of newly independent African states used musical styles and musicians to support their nation-building projects, the article then looks at musicians' more recent perspectives on the independence era. Der Beitrag gibt eine kurze Übersicht über die Entwicklung ausgewählter Musikstile in verschiedenen afrikanischen Ländern seit der Unabhängigkeit. Der Autor schildert die Bemühungen der Regierungen in den jungen Nationalstaaten, M…
El conflicto saharaui durante la transición. La controversia de Juan Goytisolo en la revista 'Triunfo' y en 'El País'
2016
Resumen . Durante la Transicion espanola a la democracia, la sociedad espanola asitio a un profundo debate sobre el derecho de autodeterminacion del Sahara Occidental. Los partidos de izquierda, intelectuales democratas y autoridades franquistas apoyaron la independencia de la antigua colonia espanola. Sin embargo, Juan Goytisolo participo en la discusion desde Triunfo y El Pais con una postura que causo una gran controversia y diversas reacciones. Este articulo analiza los argumentos del debate durante aquellos anos. Palabras clave : Juan Goytisolo, Sahara Occidental, RASD, Triunfo, Transicion "The Sahrawi conflict during the Spanish Transition. Juan Goytisolo's controversy in Triunfo and …
Political participation in Latvia 1987–2001
2001
Abstract Political participation is crucial to democracy; we discuss its main features during three stages. The years 1988–91 are marked by anti-regime mobilization and extensive mass activism in support for restoring independence. After a “normalizing” phase between 1992–98 we note contradictory trends in more recent years. Next to conventional political participation one notes increasing protests, referendum initiatives, and corrupt ways of gaining influence.
The Editorial Opinion of the Mainstream Media During the Catalan Elections of 2017: A Madrid–Barcelona Comparative Study
2020
This article is a follow-up to an article published in the American Behavioral Scientist in 2017, titled “Shaping public opinion for confrontation: Catalan independence claims as represented in Spanish, Catalan, Valencian, and Basque Editorials.” At that time, our study was based on opinions expressed in mainstream newspaper editorials during two significant events in Catalonia’s recent history: the demonstration against the Spanish Constitutional Court ruling on the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia of July 10, 2010, and the mass pro-independence demonstration held on September 11, 2012. The research sought to compare the press reports published in Catalonia, Valencia, and the Basque Count…
