description: En la actualidad los instrumentos de medición fotométricos utilizados en las experiencias de laboratorio en las universidades tienen precios muy elevados, hasta en algunos casos inaccesibles, tales hechos motivaron al diseño y construcción de un instrumento fotométrico viable. Partiendo de la ley fundamental de Lambert que establece la relación inversa de la distancia entre la fuente de luz y un fotodetector, en este caso un fotómetro, se realizó el diseño y posteriormente la construcción de un dispositivo sensible ante un ujo luminoso. El dispositivo permite detectar la intensidad luminosa y separación de una fuente de luz en cada punto de medida. Los cálculos realizados con este dispositivo fueron vericados y calibrado con un luxómetro digital RS Pro ILM1332A de los cuales estos pueden considerarse como aporte de información ordenada para investigación de iluminación y fotometría. Se desarrolló en Arduino un algoritmo para medir la iluminancia que emite la fuente luminosa plana y medir la distancia que separa al instrumento de dicha fuente luminosa. La diferencia presupuestal entre adquirir luxómetro (RS Pro ILM1332A) y la elaboración de un instrumento de medición equivalente resulta ser 86% menos, observando que es una alternativa económica y práctica. Realizando medidas fotométricas en el intervalo 10 cm a 30 cm de distancia de la fuente luminosa se obtuvo: que el instrumento fabricado tiene un error absoluto de ±10 lux y un error relativo de 0.16% en comparación del RS Pro ILM1332A.

The Cedar Project : exploring resiliency and housing among young Indigenous peoples who use drugs during COVID-19 in two Canadian cities
Creators: name: Bizzotto, Riley Norma
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Background: Indigenous peoples have been resistant and resilient against the historical and ongoing colonial processes. Yet, young Indigenous peoples who use drugs are currently facing another challenge to their resilience in the form of the quadruple crises: overdose, racism, housing, and COVID-19. There is a lack of information on how aspects of the lives of young urban Indigenous peoples who use drugs have been impacted by COVID-19. The decampments on the downtown eastside of Vancouver, and punitive by-law policies of Prince George associated with COVID-19 responses have also necessitated an investigation of housing transience during the pandemic. Objective: This thesis evaluates how young Indigenous peoples who use drugs in two Canadian cities were impacted by COVID-19, with a focus on resilience and strengths. Specifically, it examines how resilience was supported during COVID-19, and how recent policy decisions have impacted the housing landscape. Methods: The Cedar Project is a prospective cohort study that involves young Indigenous peoples who use drugs in Vancouver and Prince George, BC. Baseline and nested COVID-19 cohort data from the Cedar Project were used in analyses. The nested COVID-19 study was conducted from February 2021-August 2022; and resilience was captured by the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Multivariable linear regression was conducted to investigate factors associated with resilience stratified by gender. Multivariable logistic regression was used to model housing transience in Prince George. Results: Among women, cultural and emotional connection and knowing “who you are” were significantly associated with higher resilience. For men privacy in housing was found to be associated with higher resilience. Ever having been incarcerated and ever having participated in sex work greatly increased the odds of having experienced housing transience during COVID-19, while high CD-RISC scores were protective – reducing the odds of experiencing housing transience. Conclusions: Our findings support the call for housing to be grounded in Indigenous culture and knowledges while further supporting what Indigenous peoples have known all along, culture, community, and Nation is where strength and resilience is found.

description: From the time of the first school through the current schools of today, one of the greatest concerns of educators has been the development of curriculums. "Among the most important educational policies of schools are those pertaining to curriculum." (Kirst and Decker, 1972, p. 28) This concern has been echoed by many educators across the country including those at Utah State University. At Utah State the responsibility of the curriculum for the Education Professions Development Act, Part E, program (EPDA) belongs to the Business Education Department. The fiveyear old EPDA, Part E, program at Utah State University has been deeigned to meet the needs of master degree level students in preparation for business oriented positions at post-secondary institutions.

description: We study a linear spin chain which was originally introduced by Shi et al. [Phys. Rev. A 71 (2005), 032309, 5 pages], for which the coupling strength contains a parameter $α$ and depends on the parity of the chain site. Extending the model by a second parameter $β$, it is shown that the single fermion eigenstates of the Hamiltonian can be computed in explicit form. The components of these eigenvectors turn out to be Hahn polynomials with parameters $(α,β)$ and $(α+1,β-1)$. The construction of the eigenvectors relies on two new difference equations for Hahn polynomials. The explicit knowledge of the eigenstates leads to a closed form expression for the correlation function of the spin chain. We also discuss some aspects of a $q$-extension of this model.

description: Throughout the decade of the sixties, teachers, administrators, curriculum writers and text book companies have all made vigorous attempts to redefine the teaching of English. Teachers have organized themselves on local, state, and national levels to concentrate their efforts and share their knowledge. In part they have been responsible for some of the current trends: better preparation of teachers, experimentation with new methods in the classroom, and more consistent evaluation of what is taking place in the classroom-what teachers teach and what students learn.

description: We consider the structure of finite $p$-groups $G$ having precisely three characteristic subgroups, namely $1$, $Φ(G)$ and $G$. The structure of $G$ varies markedly depending on whether $G$ has exponent $p$ or $p^2$, and, in both cases, the study of such groups raises deep problems in representation theory. We present classification theorems for 3- and 4-generator groups, and we also study the existence of such $r$-generator groups with exponent $p^2$ for various values of $r$. The automorphism group induced on the Frattini quotient is, in various cases, related to a maximal linear group in Aschbacher's classification scheme.

description: Lloyd K. Bishop has stated that individualized instruction has been one of the most predominant themes in education for over a decade. Individualized instruction places as its central focus the welfare of the individual. All other elements are molded to facilitate the development of the individual.
One of the early outstanding presentations of this theme was that of Jean Jacques Rousseau in his immortal 'Emile'. The significance of the individual was one of the pervasive themes during the establishment of the United States of America. The welfare of the individual is one of the most prominent themes of government and education today.

description: Over the years, the instruments used in the measurement of gravity were perfected with the development of technology, since the use of simple pendulums to complex systems based on magnetic fields. However, the high cost of current gravimeters (Gravimeter CG6 Autograv, Link: https://n9.cl/5m5xd) makes their access difficult in some educational and research institutions. This situation motivated us to design and build an inexpensive, accessible, easy-to-use gravimeter that maintains data quality. For the construction of the instrument, we focused on the principle of free fall with air resistance to measure the acceleration of gravity and emphasized in the investigation of the operation, precision and delay levels that provides us by a sensor IR FC-51 that contains a 950nm infrared emitting diode and a photodiode; and the development of the code in Arduino, using an ATmega328 microcontroller. It was achieved that the developed instrument can measure the time of fall of a sphere in units of microseconds (μs) with an accuracy of ±5 μs, which led us to carry out the first measurements of the acceleration of gravity at the Faculty of Physical Sciences from the National University of San Marcos (coordinates: 12°03′34′′𝑆 , 77°04′54′′𝑊 - 69 m a. s. l.), obtaining a relative error 0.0004% compared with the gravimetric reductions which were calculated in units of mgal. To improve the data obtained by the instrument, the instrumental correction, free air, land tide and Bouguer were applied. We conclude that the instrument developed is viable for its construction and use in all laboratories of the different educational levels and that the values obtained are accurate, which will help in different studies that need it.

description: Charge separation is an important consequence of the Chiral Magnetic Effect. Within the framework of a multi-phase transport model, the effects of final state interactions on initial charge separation are studied. We demonstrate that charge separation can be significantly reduced by the evolution of the Quark-Gluon Plasma produced in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Hadronization and resonance decay can also affect charge separation. Moreover, our results show that the Chiral Magnetic Effect leads to the modification of the relation between the charge azimuthal correlation and the elliptic flow that is expected from transverse momentum conservation only. The transverse momentum and pseudorapidity dependences of, and the effects of background on the charge azimuthal correlation are also discussed.

Creators: name: Jenkins, Robert B.

description: The junior, community, or vocational-technical college is evolving into one of the most important educational institutions in the United States. The Carnegie Commission said, "Occupational programs should be given the fullest support and status within community colleges. These programs need to be flexibly geared to the changing requirements of society." Today's business society is constantly changing and this change necessitates constant analysis, evaluation, and revision of educational training programs. According to Goddard:
The development and improvement of junior college business curricula should be based on careful evaluation of present curricular offerings in business and extensive research into the nature of educational requirements for initial employment and advancement in business occupations. The use of follow-up studies, job surveys and analysis; advisory committees; and the study of expressed and interpreted needs, wants, and desires of individual students should provide an insight into the kind of business programs the junior college should provide.
The data processing curricula of any school is more vulnerable to obsolescence than any other area because of the rapidly changing nature of the field. Bangs and Hillestad stated:
The schools are not meeting the needs in training personnel for the many job opportunities in data processing in business. Much more effort needs to be exerted by school boards, school administrators, teachers, and state supervisors to inaugurate curriculums in data processing and to update programs currently in existence.

title: An Investigation of Subject Matter Other than Shorthand and Typewriting Emphasized in the Teaching of Transcription Activities at the Utah Secondary Level
Creators: name: McArthur, Susan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: Transcription is the ultimate goal of shorthand, according to Karaim, and mailable copy and rapid production are the primary aims of transcription. The ability to transcribe shorthand notes into usable printed form should be acquired before a stenographer has a marketable shorthand skill. Driska writes that "no matter how skillful the shorthand student may be in recording dictation, she is not properly fitted for work in an office unless she can transcribe her notes quickly and accurately."
Jester Writes that businessmen want transcripts which are correct in details of English mechanics, as well as being accurate transcripts of dictation. A shorthand skill is most valuable in an office situation when the person possessing the skill can transcribe shorthand notes quickly to result in mailable copy. Teachers of transcription need to be aware of what activities are involved in the transcription process so they can teach these activities to their students to enable the students to transcribe accurately and efficiently.
The coordination of shorthand, typewriting, English mechanics, and other necessary skills into an effective transcription pattern requires a knowledge of the factors involved in the transcription process. Jester time studied the transcription process and found that typewriting occupied only 38.1 per cent of the time involved in the transcription of mailable copy. The remaining 61.9 per cent of time was spent in nontyping activities. The results of Jester's survey lead to the question of whether or not business educators teach to future stenographers the skills actually needed for transcription. Karaim maintains that transcription must be taught and that the methods used to teach it "must take into consideration the development and coordination of all the knowledges and skills that enter into transcription."
Neural and motor responses to mental and physical fatigue
Creators: name: Magnuson, Justine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The overall aim of my dissertation was to assess cortical and neuromuscular responses to both mental and physical fatigue. My first two studies showed that mental fatigue, induced by either a prolonged cognitively demanding task or sleep deprivation, resulted in slowed ongoing neural activity, less efficient evoked cortical responses, and worse accuracy on a complex reaching task. Study #1 also showed that after acute mental fatigue is induced, motor task performance recovers by ~40 minutes post-task, whereas slowed ongoing cortical activity and increased ratings of fatigue are still present until at least 60 minutes post-task, suggesting a different time course of recovery for behavioural and cortical responses. Study #2 showed that, in addition to slowed and impaired inhibitory control with sleep deprivation, task performance during an emotional inhibitory control task was even worse, suggesting interference of emotion processing on response inhibition. Study #3 assessed how two types of fatiguing submaximal contractions (matched-torque vs. matched-electromyographic activity, EMG) affected voluntary activation (VA), corticomuscular and intermuscular coherence, and motor unit discharge rates. I found higher coherence, worse VA, and increased motor unit discharge rates in response to the matched-torque task; however, during the matched-EMG task, when motoneuron pool output was maintained, VA and coherence scores were unchanged and motor unit discharge rates decreased. This suggests different compensatory strategies to maintain task performance during a matched-torque vs. matched-EMG fatiguing protocol. Lastly, given the limited understanding of antagonist motor unit behaviour, study #4 aimed to examine the recruitment patterns of motor units when acting as an agonist vs. antagonist. Surprisingly, I found no antagonist motor unit recruitment in most participants during ramped isometric contractions to MVC, despite appreciable surface-EMG activity. This study showed that motor units first recruited during an agonist contraction were seldom among those first recruited during an antagonist contraction. Overall, this dissertation provides important new insight into the cortical and motor responses to both mental and physical fatigue, and advances our understanding of motor unit behaviour.

description: The recent and still ongoing pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 has shown that an infectious disease outbreak can have serious consequences on public health and economy. In this situation, public health officials constantly aim to control and reduce the number of infections in order to avoid overburdening health care system. Besides minimizing personal contact through political measures, a fundamental approach to contain the spread of diseases is to isolate infected individuals. The effectiveness of the latter approach strongly depends on a timely detection of the outbreak as the tracking of individuals can quickly become infeasible when the number of cases increases. Hence, a key factor in the containment of an infectious disease is the early detection of a potential larger outbreak, commonly known as outbreak detection. For this purpose, epidemiologists rely on a variety of statistical surveillance methods in order to maintain an overview of the current situation of infections by either monitoring confirmed cases or cases with early symptoms. Mainly based on statistical hypothesis testing, these methods automatically raise an alarm if an unexpected increase in the number of infections is observed. The practical usefulness of such methods highly depends on the trade-off between the ability to detect outbreaks and the chances of raising a false alarm. However, this hypothesis-based approach to disease surveillance has several limitations. On the one hand, it is a hand-crafted approach which requires domain knowledge to set up the statistical methods, especially if early symptoms are monitored. On the other hand, outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases with different symptom patterns are likely to be missed by such a surveillance system. In this thesis, we focus on data-driven disease surveillance and address these challenges in the following ways. To support epidemiologists in the process of defining reliable disease patterns for monitoring cases with early symptoms, we present a novel approach to discover such patterns in historic data. With respect to supervised learning, we propose a fusion classifier which can combine the output of multiple statistical methods using the univariate time series of infection counts as the only source of information. In addition, we develop algorithms based on unsupervised learning which frame the task of outbreak detection as a general anomaly detection task. This even includes the surveillance of emerging infectious diseases. Therefore, we contribute a novel framework and propose a new approach based on sum-product networks to monitor multiple disease patterns simultaneously. Our results show that data-driven approaches are ideal to assist epidemiologists by processing large amounts of data that cannot fully be understood and analyzed by humans. Most significantly, the incorporation of additional information into the surveillance through machine learning techniques shows reliable and promising results.

description: Binary message-passing decoders for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are studied by using extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) charts. The channel delivers hard or soft decisions and the variable node decoder performs all computations in the L-value domain. A hard decision channel results in the well-know Gallager B algorithm, and increasing the output alphabet from hard decisions to two bits yields a gain of more than 1.0 dB in the required signal to noise ratio when using optimized codes. The code optimization requires adapting the mixing property of EXIT functions to the case of binary message-passing decoders. Finally, it is shown that errors on cycles consisting only of degree two and three variable nodes cannot be corrected and a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a cycle-free subgraph is derived.

description: We propose a physically transparent analytic model of astrophysical S-factors as a function of a center-of-mass energy E of colliding nuclei (below and above the Coulomb barrier) for non-resonant fusion reactions. For any given reaction, the S(E)-model contains four parameters [two of which approximate the barrier potential, U(r)]. They are easily interpolated along many reactions involving isotopes of the same elements; they give accurate practical expressions for S(E) with only several input parameters for many reactions. The model reproduces the suppression of S(E) at low energies (of astrophysical importance) due to the shape of the low-r wing of U(r). The model can be used to reconstruct U(r) from computed or measured S(E). For illustration, we parameterize our recent calculations of S(E) (using the Sao Paulo potential and the barrier penetration formalism) for 946 reactions involving stable and unstable isotopes of C, O, Ne, and Mg (with 9 parameters for all reactions involving many isotopes of the same elements, e.g., C+O). In addition, we analyze astrophysically important 12C+12C reaction, compare theoretical models with experimental data, and discuss the problem of interpolating reliably known S(E) values to low energies (E <= 2-3 MeV).

description: In the settlement of the West, the Mormon response was unique. since their methods, techniques, and institutions differed from other settlers of the West, the Mormons were repeatedly censured by outsiders. Although the institution of polygamy elicited considerable emotionalism and aroused determined opposition, there were other institutions which actually contributed just as much to the conflagration.
As the Utah War [1857-58] became an embarrassment to the United States government, congress demanded of President Buchanan the grounds upon which the decision for war was based. President Buchanan thereupon presented several letters, the first of which was written on October 3, 1856, by William M. F. Magraw, a former U.S. government mail contractor. His letter pictured the territory in an imminent state of lawlessness in which murder, rapine, and terrorism would flourish--all of which had been imposed upon a helpless society by a vicious, despotic theocracy. He complained about the probate courts and also implied that he had suffered "personal annoyances" because of the Mormons.

We search for indications of hot gas within Mach cones in X-ray observations of selected Virgo Cluster spiral galaxies (NGC 4569, NGC 4388, and NGC 4501). We find extraplanar diffuse X-ray emission in all galaxies. Based on the 3D velocity vectors from dynamical modelling a simple Mach cone is fitted to the triangular shape of NGC 4569's diffuse X-ray emission. Assuming that all extraplanar diffuse X-ray emission has to be located inside the Mach cone, we also fit Mach cones to NGC 4388's and NGC 4501's extraplanar X-ray emission. For NGC 4569 it is hard to reconcile the derived Mach cone opening angle with a Mach number based on the sound speed alone. Instead, a Mach number involving the Alfvénic speed seems to be more appropriate, yielding a magnetic field strength of $\sim 3$-6 $μ$G for a intracluster medium density of $n \sim 10^{-4}$ cm$^{-3}$. Whereas the temperature of the hot component of NGC 4569's X-ray halo (0.5 keV) is at the high end but typical for a galactic outflow, the temperature of the hot gas tails of NGC 4388 and NGC 4501 are significantly hotter (0.7-0.9 keV). In NGC 4569 we find direct evidence for a Mach cone which is filled with hot gas from a galactic superwind. We suggest that the high gas temperatures in the X-ray tails of NGC 4388 and NGC 4501 are due to the mixing of the stripped ISM into the hot intracluster medium of the Virgo cluster.

description: The Planck-ATCA Co-eval Observations (PACO) have provided flux density measurements of well defined samples of AT20G radio sources at frequencies below and overlapping with Planck frequency bands, almost simultaneously with Planck observations. We have observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) a total of 482 sources in the frequency range between 4.5 and 40 GHz in the period between July 2009 and August 2010. Several sources were observed more than once. In this paper we present the aims of the project, the selection criteria, and the observation and data reduction procedures. We also discuss the data in total intensity for a complete sample of 189 sources with S(20 GHz)>500 mJy, Galactic latitude |b|>5deg, and declination

description: Υπόβαθρο: Ο Σακχαρώδης Διαβήτης (ΣΔ) είναι μία χρόνια μεταβολική πάθηση. Χαρακτηρίζεται από υψηλά επίπεδα γλυκόζης (σακχάρου) στο αίμα. Αν και η πρόοδος της τεχνολογίας και η εξέλιξη της ιατρικής επιστήμης έχουν καταστήσει τη θεραπεία του σακχαρώδους διαβήτη ευκολότερη, η αυτοφροντίδα και η τήρηση της θεραπείας παραμένουν μία σημαντική πρόκληση για τους διαβητικούς ασθενείς. Παρά το γεγονός ότι ο σακχαρώδης διαβήτης είναι μία χρόνια ασθένεια, οι γνώσεις και αντιλήψεις των διαβητικών ασθενών για θεραπεία είναι περιορισμένες. Σκοπός: Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι να εξετάσει μελετώντας τις γνώσεις και τις αντιλήψεις των ενήλικων ασθενών με ΣΔ 2 σχετικά με την κατανάλωση υπερτροφών ως θεραπευτικό μέσο κατά του ΣΔ. Μεθοδολογία: Η παρούσα εργασία ακολούθησε την ποσοτική προσέγγιση. Ένα καλά δομημένο και αξιόπιστο ερωτηματολόγιο, διαμοιράστηκε σε ασθενείς με ΣΔ 2. Τα αποτελέσματα αναλύθηκαν σε πρόγραμμα ExcellMsOffice, ενώ εν συνεχεία ακολούθησε η περιγραφή και η ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων. Αποτελέσματα: Στην έρευνα συμμετείχαν 100 ασθενείς με Σακχαρώδη Διαβήτη τύπου 2 (ΣΔ 2) από την 2η ΤΟΜΥ Αγ. Δημητρίου Αθηνών, με μέσο όρο ηλικίας τα 71,24 έτη. Ο μέσος δείκτης μάζας σώματος ήταν 27,58 kg/m2. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν πως οι άντρες με μέσο όρο ηλικίας 72,52 έτη, ενδιαφέρονται περισσότερο να ενημερωθούν για τις υπερτροφές από ό,τι οι γυναίκες. Επιπλέον, πιστεύουν περισσότερο ότι οι υπερτροφές προσφέρουν ενέργεια στον οργανισμό και πως επιδρούν θετικά στην άμυνα του οργανισμού, στη διατήρηση υγιούς βάρους, στη βελτίωση της λειτουργίας της καρδιάς και ότι συνεισφέρουν στη βελτίωση υπαρχόντων προβλημάτων υγείας. Από την άλλη πλευρά, οι γυναίκες πιστεύουν πως οι υπερτροφές επιδρούν θετικά στη μείωση επιπέδων άγχους, στην υγιή ανάπτυξη των παιδιών και στη βελτίωση της υγεία των οστών. Συμπεράσματα: Οι γνώσεις και οι αντιλήψεις των συμμετεχόντων της έρευνας για τις υπερτροφές εξαρτώνται από το επίπεδο εκπαίδεuσης, το μέσο όρο ηλικίας και την αγοραστική δύναμη αυτών.

description: Performance is vital to a musician and educator because through understanding and analysis of problems the teacher can better help his students. The specific problems for this performer and for this recital were: (1) The interpretation of the music according to the style intended by the composer, and (2) The mastery of the technic needed to overcome difficult passages.
The purpose of the musician was to prepare a recital which would demonstrate tone quality, control, phrasing, musicianship, and confidence in performance. The basic assumption was that the teacher-musician needs to demonstrate these qualities to enable him to more effectively work with his students.

description: In a recent paper, which has been published in Nature, the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) obtained an upper limit on the stochastic gravitational-wave background of cosmological origin by using the data from a two-year science run of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational- wave Observatory (LIGO). Such an upper limit rules out some models of early Universe evolution, like the ones with relatively large equation-of-state parameter and the cosmic (super) string models with relatively small string tension arising from some String Theory's models. It results also an upper limit for the relic stochastic background of gravitational waves (RSBGWs) which is proposed by the Pre-Big-Bang Theory. On the other hand, the upper bound on the RSBGWs which is proposed by the Standard Inflationary Model is well known and often updated by using the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). The potential detection of such a RSBGWs is the only way to learn about the evolution of the very early universe, up to the bounds of the Planck epoch and the initial singularity. This is a kind of information that is inaccessible to standard astrophysical observations. By using a conformal treatment, a formula that directly connects the average amplitude of the RSBGWs with the Inflaton field has been re- cently obtained in our paper Gen. Rel. Grav. 42, 5, 1323-1333 (2010). In this proceeding, by joining this formula with the equation for the characteristic amplitude hC for the RSBGWs, the upper bounds on the RSBGWs from the WMAP and LSC data will be translated in lower bounds on the Inflaton field. The results show that the value of the Inflaton field that arises from the WMAP bound on the RSBGWs is totally in agreement with the famous slow roll condition on Inflation, while the value of the Inflaton field that arises from the LSC bound on the RSBGWs could be not in agreement with such a condition.

title: A Study to Determine the Extent of Utilization of Individualized Instruction in Typewriting
Creators: name: Pruitt, Lucille N.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: The trend today is toward the individualized approaches in the teaching of typewriting and other business subjects, Susan Schrumpf notes that this concept is continuously gaining popularity because the spotlight is clearly on the student -- his abilities and limitations -- and how the business educator can best minister his needs. if individualized instruction is utilized properly, it is the best possible preparation.
Keeping in mind that the primary goal of society is that of assisting the individual to reach his highest potential, individualization of instruction is the answer to many problems for vocational educators. Howe states:
A democratic society needs individuals who are self-disciplined, self-responsible, and capable of making intelligent choices. The major reasons why such concentrated effort is being made to find ways and means to individualize instruction are that individualized instruction teaches critical thinking, teaches self-direction, nurtures creativity, and develops one's self-concept.
The business education experts are constantly introducing new approaches to individualized instruction in typewriting through business publications, workshops, and various other media; thus giving full support to its utilization in an effort to improve classroom learning situations. In view of these changing trends in education and in society, it is evident that secondary schools will be expected to utilize innovative practices in order to meet the needs of today's youth.

description: Η αύξηση των κινδύνων που παρατηρείται συνεχώς στο εξωτερικό περιβάλλον για τους οργανισμούς υγείας, η οργανωσιακή δομή και τα ιδιαίτερα χαρακτηριστικά των υγειονομικών χώρων, επιδρούν σημαντικά στην εμφάνιση μιας κατάστασης εξουθένωσης στους επαγγελματίες υγείας. Η επαγγελματική εξουθένωση περιγράφεται ως ένα σύνδρομο σωματικής και συναισθηματικής εξάντλησης που εκδηλώνεται με μειωμένη συναισθηματική ενέργεια για τις εργασιακές απαιτήσεις, συναισθηματική απομάκρυνση από την εργασία και από τους ασθενείς και μειωμένη αίσθηση επιτυχούς επίτευξης στόχων. Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η διερεύνηση της επαγγελματικής εξουθένωσης ως παράγοντα στη δημιουργία ιατρικών σφαλμάτων και η επίδραση στην ασφάλεια των ασθενών. Μεθοδολογία: Στηρίχθηκε σε ανασκοπικές και ερευνητικές μελέτες που εκπονήθηκαν σε διεθνές επίπεδο και στην Ελλάδα. Αναλύονται οι παράγοντες που μπορούν να συμβάλουν στην εμφάνισή της επαγγελματικής εξουθένωσης στο ιατρικό προσωπικό, η συσχέτιση της με τα ιατρικά λάθη, οι συνέπειες της στις παρεχόμενες υπηρεσίες και οι παρεμβάσεις αντιμετώπισης του φαινομένου. Αποτελέσματα: Η ασφάλεια των ασθενών συνδέεται με την υγεία του προσωπικού και επίσης είναι βασική συνιστώσα ενός ποιοτικού συστήματος υγείας, που παρεμποδίζεται σημαντικά από τα ιατρικά λάθη, τα οποία είναι συχνό φαινόμενο και στην Ελλάδα. Συμπεράσματα: Η επαγγελματική εξουθένωση είναι μια κατάσταση που καθιστά αναγκαία την αντιμετώπιση της από πλευράς πρόληψης και την αναγνώριση των ενδείξεων της εγκαίρως. Η αύξηση της εργασιακής ικανοποίησης και η διαμόρφωση συνθηκών ασφαλούς εργασιακού περιβάλλοντος θα προωθήσουν την ευεξία στην εργασία, με θετικά αποτελέσματα στην απόδοση των οργανισμών και στην ασφάλεια των ασθενών. Παράλληλα, ο περιορισμός των ιατρικών σφαλμάτων απαιτεί συνδυασμένες αλλαγές στην εκπαίδευση και στη συμπεριφορά των εργαζομένων και στην οργάνωση των υγειονομικών υπηρεσιών. Συγχρόνως, χρειάζεται αποτελεσματικά συστήματα αναφοράς των λαθών.
