description: High-quality teachers are vital for students’ academic success. Principals have a better chance of hiring high-quality teachers if the average quality of the teacher candidate pool is high and they have a good sense of which candidates are likely to be high-quality teachers. Do principals select candidates using the same characteristics that predict high-quality teaching? And do differences in candidate pools across schools make a difference? This project evaluated how principals in a metro-Atlanta school district made hiring requests for teacher candidates.

description: Dans un contexte de réduction des dépenses énergétiques et des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (COP 21, plan climat), la rénovation des enveloppes thermiques du bâti est une étape indispensable (500 000 logements/an à rénover). Dans cette perspective, les superisolants thermiques (PIV, SIPA) viennent en appui des solutions conventionnelles (laine de verre/de roche, PSE, PU...). Ils présentent une faible conductivité thermique (3-20 mW/(m.K)) permettant d’isoler à moindre épaisseur, un atout indispensable en rénovation. Ces solutions, reposant majoritairement sur des silices nanostructurées (poudre ou aérogel), connaissent néanmoins deux freins à leur développement, le manque de connaissance sur la durabilité de ces matériaux et le prix des systèmes commercialisés. Du fait de leurs propriétés structurelles (200 m²/g < SSA < 850 m²/g ; porosité > 92%; nano-pores) et chimiques, ces silices sont susceptibles, dans certaines conditions d'exposition (T, HR), de subir un vieillissement thermo-hygrique pouvant éventuellement dégrader leurs propriétés fonctionnelles. Cette étude vise ainsi à comprendre les mécanismes propres aux vieillissements des silices afin d’optimiser les solutions.

description: Dans le cadre de notre mémoire, nous nous sommes intéressées à l’éthique et plus particulièrement aux valeurs. En effet, elles influencent nos comportements et nos décisions, parfois sans que nous en ayons conscience. Par ailleurs, nous avons constaté que ces valeurs étaient répétées aux élèves depuis leur plus jeune âge sans forcément être clairement explicitées. Pour amener ces valeurs en classe, nous nous sommes appuyées sur la discussion à visée démocratique et philosophique (DVDP). Ce dispositif permet de mener des réflexions entre pairs sur différents sujets. Il laisse suffisamment d’espace aux élèves pour s’exprimer et son aspect démocratique atteste d’une volonté d’instruire à la citoyenneté. De plus, cette démarche permet le développement des capacités transversales et un travail sur l’oralité. Nous avons sélectionné les valeurs de partage et de solidarité qui sont dans le PE-VD. Nous avons mené notre recherche dans des classes de 5H et de 6H. Les moments de DVDP portaient sur les valeurs mentionnées mais elles ont été abordées à partir de deux supports différents. Dans les deux classes, nous avons amené les valeurs sur la base d’un photolangage et sur la base d’un récit. Le photolangage était constitué d’images sélectionnées par nos soins et les récits nous ont été fournis par l’équipe qui s’occupe de rédiger les futurs moyens d’enseignement en éthique dans le canton de Vaud. Notre but était d’identifier lequel de ces supports permettait une réflexion plus étayée sur les valeurs en classe. L’enseignante animait ces moments d’échanges en posant des questions, en reformulant certaines réponses d’élèves et en relançant parfois la discussion. Il s’agissait tout de même pour l’enseignante de rester en retrait et de laisser les élèves s’exprimer et discuter entre eux. Les élèves ont apprécié ces moments d’échanges et de discussion et se sont sentis libres de s’exprimer.

description: Estimating the number of distinct values (NDV) in a column is useful for many tasks in database systems, such as columnstore compression and data profiling. In this work, we focus on how to derive accurate NDV estimations from random (online/offline) samples. Such efficient estimation is critical for tasks where it is prohibitive to scan the data even once. Existing sample-based estimators typically rely on heuristics or assumptions and do not have robust performance across different datasets as the assumptions on data can easily break. On the other hand, deriving an estimator from a principled formulation such as maximum likelihood estimation is very challenging due to the complex structure of the formulation. We propose to formulate the NDV estimation task in a supervised learning framework, and aim to learn a model as the estimator. To this end, we need to answer several questions: i) how to make the learned model workload agnostic; ii) how to obtain training data; iii) how to perform model training. We derive conditions of the learning framework under which the learned model is workload agnostic, in the sense that the model/estimator can be trained with synthetically generated training data, and then deployed into any data warehouse simply as, e.g., user-defined functions (UDFs), to offer efficient (within microseconds on CPU) and accurate NDV estimations for unseen tables and workloads. We compare the learned estimator with the state-of-the-art sample-based estimators on nine real-world datasets to demonstrate its superior estimation accuracy. We publish our code for training data generation, model training, and the learned estimator online for reproducibility.

description: L’intérêt accru pour le recyclage du béton est né d’une volonté d’inscrire le secteur du BTP dans une logique de développement durable. Les granulats de béton recyclés (GBR) sont constitués de granulats naturels et de pâte de ciment adhérente à l’état durci. Ces granulats sont beaucoup plus poreux que les granulats naturels et absorbent une quantité d’eau importante lorsqu’ils sont mélangés avec une pâte de ciment fraîche. L’échange d’eau entre GBR et pâte de ciment à l’état frais modifie l’eau efficace du béton au détriment de ses performances à l’état frais et durci et doit être étudié. Un protocole expérimental original basé sur des mesures d’étalement de mortier est proposé pour suivre le transfert d’eau entre GBR initialement secs et pâte de ciment environnante. Ce protocole est testé sur des sables de pâte de ciment (63 μm/4 mm) à E/C égal à 0.3, 0.5 et 0.7 immergés dans une pâte de filler. Les résultats montrent que les granulats modèles immergés dans une pâte de filler pendant une période de 90 minutes restent non saturés. Le degré de saturation atteint par les granulats de pâte de ciment augmente avec le E/C de la pâte.

Quality assurance in British Columbia higher education : a policy analysis
Creators: name: Siedlaczek, Katarzyna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The notion of quality in higher education has received considerable attention in the literature in recent years, often acknowledging that it is a contested concept. Given the wide range of views on quality, practices related to quality and quality assurance have at times had a mixed reception within higher education. Quality assurance is broadly described as the practice of assessing quality as an important way of improving quality. Closely connected are other concepts such as accountability, transparency, autonomy, and trust, each of which add to the complex picture around quality within higher education. This study examines the 2016 policy introduced by the Province of British Columbia called the Quality Assurance Process Audit (QAPA). This policy applies to all public post-secondary institutions, and requires that institutions undergo an audit of their quality assurance processes led by an appointed panel of experts. My research looks at the range of influences that led to the development of the QAPA policy to explore how and why it came to be implemented, and how it is being perceived and interpreted in practice by senior academic leaders within BC’s college and institute sector. The study draws on Bowe, Ball and Golde’s (1992) contexts of policy framework, the notion of policy borrowing, and the literature on the sociological concept of institutions, with a focus on Lawrence and Suddaby’s (2006) notion of institutional work. The findings from this study indicate that key influences leading to the QAPA policy include the 2011 Stubbs Report, policy borrowing from Alberta and other provinces, and the growing need to align with international standards and evolving expectations around quality assurance in higher education. The policy is characterized by senior academic leaders as a constructive addition to quality assurance in the province, providing clarity in expectations while recognizing institutional diversity. The policy builds on past practices and contributes to further institutionalizing quality assurance at the provincial and individual institutional levels. It has also amplified the need for intentional work, sustained attention, and knowledgeable, reflexive actors to establish and maintain quality assurance practices to ensure the persistence and stability of the institution of quality assurance.

description: A wide array of bacteria and fungi are known for their association with pests that impact the health of the olive tree. The latter presents the most economically important cultivation in Tunisia. The microbial diversity associated with olive orchards in Tunisia remains unknown and undetermined. This study investigated microbial diversity to elucidate the microbial interactions that lead to olive disease, and the bio-prospects for potential microbial biocontrol agents associated with insect pests of economic relevance for olive cultivation in the Mediterranean area. Bacterial and fungal isolation was made from soil and olive tree pests. A total of 215 bacterial and fungal strains were randomly isolated from eight different biotopes situated in Sfax (Tunisia), with different management practices. 16S rRNA and ITS gene sequencing were used to identify the microbial community. The majority of the isolated bacteria, Staphylococcus, Bacillus, Alcaligenes, and Providencia, are typical of the olive ecosystem and the most common fungi are Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Cladosporium. The different olive orchards depicted distinct communities, and exhibited dissimilar amounts of bacteria and fungi with distinct ecological functions that could be considered as promising resources in biological control.

DEVELOPMENT OF A LEARNING MODULE FOR ULTRASOUND GUIDED REGIONAL ANESTHESIA
Creators: name: Thompson, Jennifer Lynn
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: Emerging technology drives many aspects of anesthesia practice and continuing education should follow in the same path. As the practice of anesthesia evolves and new techniques are introduced, clinical providers must seek out opportunities to stay current in their practice. Numerous barriers exist that make it difficult to do this. One current example is the utilization of ultrasound guidance in regional anesthesia. There is a need for an educational resource aimed at clinical anesthesia providers that uses a multimedia approach and that is easily accessible to practitioners in teaching the basics of ultrasound guided regional anesthesia. This paper describes the design and development of a computer-assisted learning module for teaching the basics of ultrasound guidance for use in peripheral nerve blockade to clinical anesthesia providers. The design was based on the cognitive theory of multimedia learning by Richard Mayer. The module developed provides a learning opportunity to the clinical anesthesia provider without the added financial stress or time commitment of attending a professional conference for education. The module was also developed to fulfill, in some way, the special need for the use of media and technology in continuing education for the medical professional.

Indigenous storytelling and literary practices
Creators: name: Campbell, Nicola I.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Indigenous writers today are the living legacy of our elders and ancestors who survived Indian residential schools and colonization and share stories about collective anguish—yet our continual retelling of our most shattered selves is a form of narrative violence that validates erroneous truths. This research initiates a conversation that moves beyond a deficit model and identifies how Indigenous writers and scholars are employing creative and cultural practices to re-imagine our past and present. The research considers Indigenous literary nationalism and Indigenous poetics, looking at the functions of narratives and orality in produced, performance and text-based works. It explores ethical approaches and cultural practices undertaken by storytellers—and informed by the writings of scholars—steeped in protocols and ancestral teachings. I consider works of Canadian Indigenous writers with a significant debt to writers from British Columbia, especially Interior Salish narratives as shared by Mourning Dove Christine Quintasket, Jeannette Armstrong, Bill Cohen, Helen Haig-Brown and Kevin Loring. The research establishes that stories create dynamic maps to the past, present, and the inter-relations between. It finds that, as Indigenous storytellers, we are responsible for strategically sharing stories because of the medicine they carry. Close engagement with Nłéʔkepmx and Syílx traditional and contemporary narratives leads to recognition that our nations, languages, and ancestors play roles in telling our stories, as does the processing of grief and its movement into renewal. The outcome of this research is to spotlight creative and critical storytelling practices among contemporary Indigenous writers and scholars who are actively re-imaging our Indigeneity and re-claiming our cultural pedagogies and epistemologies. The paper weaves a web of principles for ethical Indigenous storytelling steeped in methods and protocols that strategically position a literature that creates an empowered version of Indigenous people and tells stories that, firstly, inspire healing and transformation, and secondly, share a more balanced narrative of Indigenous persistence and renewal in response to past and ongoing colonialism. The dissertation brings a new understanding about the Indigenizing imagination and respective positioning of Indigenous writers in creative narrative. Into the future, it points to opportunities for Indigenous writers to employ courageous acts of decolonization through creative and critical practice.

PREVENTING WRONG-SITE REGIONAL BLOCKS: AN INTEGRATIVE REVIEW
Creators: name: Topadzhikyan, Haik
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: Wrong-site peripheral nerve blocks may occur in patients undergoing surgical procedures and a system to prevent these errors is needed. The purpose of this paper is to present a literature review pertaining to wrong site anesthesia and to evaluate the effectiveness of the time-out method and pre-anesthetic verification. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and CINAHL for literature published from 2005 through 2013. Articles were included that related to (a) wrong-site anesthesia block and (b) studies of the issue, including cases in which the problem has occurred and possible solutions. Articles were reviewed to determine key factors associated with wrong-site anesthesia blocks, and nine articles were used in this review. Of these, six were case reports, two were retrospective database analyses, and one was an analysis of a physician insurance database. The review revealed that wrong-site anesthesia administration is often associated with a lack of an organizational policy for prevention. No study evaluating the effect of a time-out or site verification policy was found. The success of policies involving time-out verification depends on the successful execution by the anesthesia providers. As shown in this literature review, wrong-site regional blocks are multifactorial in origin and may be prevented if a system of checks is in place. Suggestions are given to avoid this preventable negative anesthetic event.
O nu feminino na Argentina e no Brasil - Pinturas de Eduardo Sívori e Rodolpho Amoêdo

description: The article analyzes how Eduardo Sívori (Buenos Aires, 1847-1918) and Rodolpho Amoêdo (Rio de Janeiro, 1857-1941) come into contact, in Europe, with the contemporaries’ representations of the female nude and how they, each in their own way, assimilated these representations. In this sense, two works standout in the production of these artists: Le lever da la bonne (1887), by Sívori e Estudo de Mulher (1884), by Amoêdo. The article seeks to answer some questions: Did the artists desired to please or to shock with their paintings? Were these paintings a source of controversies, criticisms or compliments? Were they seen as innovative or traditional? Did they correspond to the expectations that were deposited in the young artists? O artigo analisa como Eduardo Sívori (Buenos Aires, 1847-1918) e Rodolpho Amoêdo (Rio de Janeiro, 1857-1941) entraram em contato, na Europa, com as contemporâneas representações do nu feminino e como eles, cada um à sua maneira, assimilaram essas representações. Nesse sentido, duas obras se destacam na produção destes artistas: Le lever da la bonne (1887), de Sívori e Estudo de Mulher (1884), de Amoêdo. O artigo procura responder às seguintes questões: desejavam os artistas agradar ou chocar com suas pinturas? Foram as pinturas motivo de controvérsias, críticas ou elogios? Foram vistas como inovadoras ou 'tradicionais'? Corresponderam elas às expectativas que eram depositadas nos dois jovens artistas?

Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2019

description: La présente étude est basée sur le constat que les courbes de référence de formulation de béton présentent des distributions de taille des grains (DTG) fractales. Donc on peut raisonnablement considérer la DTG du squelette solide du béton comme étant elle-même fractale, qu’on peut générer par le biais de la dimension DF (2,3 < DF < 2,7) . Les bétons autoplçants (BAP) sont des bétons caractérisés par une mise en place sans vibration. Pour la formulation des BAP, plusieurs approches, pour la plupart empiriques, sont utilisées. En se basant sur le concept de la dimension fractale et sur la théorie d’optimisation de la pâte, dite de la pâte en excès, ce travail présentera une nouvelle approche analytique et rationnelle pour la formulation des bétons autoplçants. L’intérêt de ce travail est une meilleure maitrise mathématique de la formulation des BAP.

description: Objectives: To assess the benefits of ultra-high-resolution CT (UHR-CT) with deep learning–based image reconstruction engine (AiCE) regarding image quality and radiation dose and intraindividually compare it to normal-resolution CT (NR-CT). Methods: Forty consecutive patients with head and neck UHR-CT with AiCE for diagnosed head and neck malignancies and available prior NR-CT of a different scanner were retrospectively evaluated. Two readers evaluated subjective image quality using a 5-point Likert scale regarding image noise, image sharpness, artifacts, diagnostic acceptability, and assessability of various anatomic regions. For reproducibility, inter-reader agreement was analyzed. Furthermore, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and slope of the gray-value transition between different tissues were calculated. Radiation dose was evaluated by comparing CTDIvol, DLP, and mean effective dose values. Results: UHR-CT with AiCE reconstruction led to significant improvement in subjective (image noise and diagnostic acceptability: p < 0.000; ICC ≥ 0.91) and objective image quality (SNR: p < 0.000; CNR: p < 0.025) at significantly lower radiation doses (NR-CT 2.03 ± 0.14 mSv; UHR-CT 1.45 ± 0.11 mSv; p < 0.0001) compared to NR-CT. Conclusions: Compared to NR-CT, UHR-CT combined with AiCE provides superior image quality at a markedly lower radiation dose. With improved soft tissue assessment and potentially improved tumor detection, UHR-CT may add further value to the role of CT in the assessment of head and neck pathologies.
The temperature and relative humidity dependence of molecular diffusion and viscosity in organic aerosols and films relevant for kitchens, cities, forests, and fires

description: Predictions of atmospheric chemistry, air quality, and climate depend on molecular diffusion and viscosity within organic aerosol (OA) particles. These predictions have uncertainties due, in part, to a lack of understanding of how viscosity and diffusion depend on ambient parameters such as temperature and relative humidity (RH). This thesis aims to improve the understanding of the temperature and RH-dependency of molecular diffusion of OA through direct experimental observation of diffusivity and viscosity for different types of OA. The viscosity of cooking organic aerosol (COA) films collected in a real kitchen environment was measured with the poke-flow technique. COA’s viscosity was found to be < 7 × 10³ Pa s for RH values from 0 to 69%. This result was many orders of magnitude lower than predicted with a commonly-used parameterization. The parameterization agreed with the measurements after adjusting with a triglycerides-based correction factor. Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) material from biomass burning was generated from the oxidation of phenolic compounds: catechol, guaiacol, and syringol. The SOA viscosity was measured using the poke-flow technique. The viscosity of all systems followed roughly the same trend, with viscosity < 3 × 10³ Pa s at RH > 40% and > 2 × 10⁸ Pa s under dry conditions. A parameterization was developed to extrapolate to relevant tropospheric conditions. Few techniques can measure the temperature dependence of viscosity in OA. A new method based on hot-stage microscopy was developed, validated, and applied to SOA material derived from farnesene photooxidation. The farnesene SOA viscosity ranged from 2.6 × 10⁴ to 3.1 × 10⁶ Pa s when changing the temperature from 67 to 51 °C. The RH and temperature-dependent diffusion of organic molecules were directly measured in sucrose-water, a proxy for SOA, using rectangular fluorescence recovery after photobleaching. Diffusion rates were measured at temperatures ranging from –10 to 40 °C and for RH from 43 to 85%. The corresponding mixing times of organics were often larger than 1 h for conditions found in the free troposphere, meaning that the frequently-made assumption of fast mixing (< 1 h) in chemical transport models may be invalid for these conditions.

description: The term landscape is a concept devised by man, defined by viewing but interpreted by the culture. Art helps understanding and knowledge of our implications "of any kind" with the world we inhabit and has had different interpretations throughout history, depending on cultural contexts, scientific and the social development of each epoch. The landscape as a pictorial genre, has often been the chronicler of man’s relationship with nature becoming more relevant in the cultural moment in which man feels more integrated and in communion with it, which coincides with other forms of cultural expression. The landscape, therefore, is linked to the history of cultures, working to a better understanding of the human condition, its moments and changes. The idea of a garden has also accompanied our culture since ancient times, manifesting our need to interact and connect with nature in order to make the natural environment a place where man can live, meet and communicate, with its elements reflecting the idea of the universe according to the season. The garden appears at the instant you try to unite join the wellbeing of body and soul, in a small, calm area enveloped by plant life –a micro universe within man’s reach. El término de paisaje es un concepto ideado por el hombre, definido mediante la visión pero interpretado por la cultura. El arte ayuda a la comprensión y conocimiento de nuestras implicaciones “de toda índole” con el mundo que habitamos y que ha tenido distintas interpretaciones a lo largo de la historia, dependiendo del contextos cultural, científico y social de cada época determinada. El paisaje, como género pictórico, ha sido en muchas épocas cronista de la relación del ser humano con la naturaleza tomando mayor relevancia en los momentos culturales en que el hombre se siente más integrado y en comunión con ella, lo que viene a coincidir con otras formas de manifestación cultural. El paisaje, pues, está vinculado a la historia de las culturas, colaborando a un mejor conocimiento de la condición humana, de sus momentos y cambios. La idea de jardín también ha acompañado a nuestra cultura desde la Antigüedad, manifestándose en ella la necesidad humana de relacionarse y conectarse con la naturaleza; con el fin de hacer del ambiente natural un espacio en donde el hombre pueda vivir, encontrarse y comunicarse, siendo sus elementos reflejo de la idea del universo según la época. El jardín surge en el instante en el que se intenta unir el bienestar del cuerpo con el del alma, en un espacio recogido y en calma envuelto de la vida vegetal, a modo de un micro universo al alcance de la mano del hombre.

description: La littérature des matériaux cimentaires est riche des recherches qui entrent dans le cadre de l’amélioration des performances de ciment. Dans ces recherches, dont le but est de trouver la composition optimale d’un ciment à partir des matériaux : clinker, gypse et une addition (laitier, pouzzolane, fumée de silice, cendres volantes, etc.), la teneur en gypse est le plus souvent prise arbitrairement entre 3 et 5% en poids. Il est connu que le sulfate de calcium dihydraté CaSO4.2H2O joue le rôle d’un régulateur de prise. Cependant, cette teneur qui varie d’un auteur à l’autre, peut influer sur d’autres propriétés telles que : la réponse mécanique, les variations dimensionnelles et le processus d’hydratation. Le but de ce travail est de chercher, à travers une compagne expérimentale et des formules théoriques, l’optimum de sulfatage pour un ciment Portland CEM I fabriqué en Algérie. Pour ce faire, la teneur des ciments en gypse a été prise variable entre 0 et 9% en poids et l’évolution des propriétés physico-mécaniques, à l’état frais et durci, des mortiers résultants a été suivie. Il a été expérimentalement démontré que la teneur optimale du ciment en gypse est 5,5% en poids.

description: Engineering magnetic anisotropy in a ferro- or ferrimagnetic (FM) thin film is crucial in spintronic device. One way to modify the magnetic anisotropy is through the surface of the FM thin film. Here, we report the emergence of a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) induced by interfacial interactions in a heterostructure comprised of a garnet ferrimagnet, Y3Fe5O12 (YIG), and the low-symmetry, high spin orbit coupling (SOC) transition metal dichalcogenide, WTe2. At the same time, we also observed an enhancement in Gilbert damping in the WTe2 covered YIG area. Both the magnitude of interface-induced PMA and the Gilbert damping enhancement have no observable WTe2 thickness dependence down to single quadruple-layer, indicating that the interfacial interaction plays a critical role. The ability of WTe2 to enhance the PMA in FM thin film, combined with its previously reported capability to generate out-of-plane damping like spin torque, makes it desirable for magnetic memory applications.

description: Recent psycholinguistic studies on the reality of alternative sets in processing focus NPs have shown that focus particles like ‘only’ play a special role in activating the mental representation of alternatives to focused nouns. In this paper we present a new corpus study which provides converging evidence to support psycholinguistic findings and suggests that alternatives preceded by a focus particle are not only more activated in experimental contexts, but are also more likely to be discussed in the subsequent context. To this end we develop and evaluate inter-annotator agreement on two novel annotation tasks in naturally occurring German corpus data: recognition of nominal alternatives in general without any context, and recognition of alternatives in the context of sentence pairs. We show that while annotators agree poorly on the first, they agree strongly on the second. We also develop a concept of ‘alternative density’, the number of alternatives realized in a sentence following a target NP, and present a mixed-effects model showing a very significant rise in density after the presence of German nur ‘only’ independently of other factors.

description: La méthode ultrasonore est une méthode non destructive couramment utilisée pour le classement des bois, l'auscultation et la surveillance des structures, et qui est affectée par divers paramètres tels que l’humidité, ou l’angle du fil. Ce travail présente quelques analyses dans le but d'étudier la sensibilité de la propagation et de la polarisation des ondes ultrasonores en fonction de l’angle du fil dans le bois. Des résultats expérimentaux de laboratoire sont utilisés pour vérifier les développements analytiques. Les résultats de cette étude permettent de mettre en exergue l'influence de l'angle des fibres sur la vitesse de propagation des ondes ultrasonores. De plus, il a été montré que les ondes de compression sont sensiblement plus affectées par la rotation de la direction de propagation, que les ondes de cisaillement.

description: In the interpretation of Kant’s transcendental idealism, a textual stalemate between two camps has evolved: two-world interpretations regard things in themselves and appearances as two numerically distinct entities, whereas two-aspect interpretations take this distinction as one between two aspects of the same thing. I try to develop an account which can overcome this dispute. On the one hand, things in themselves are numerically distinct from appearances, but on the other hand, things in themselves can be regarded as they exist in themselves and as they appear. This reveals a mutual entailment of both accounts. Finally, I suggest that this approach most naturally leads to a kind of ‘phenomenalism’, but of a sort not normally attributed to Kant.

COMPARISON OF THE BRADLEY METHOD® AND HYPNOBIRTHING® CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION CLASSES
Creators: name: Varner, Corry Ann
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this doctoral project was to develop a manuscript that compares and contrasts two forms of childbirth education, Hypnobirthing® (The Mongan Method) and the Bradley Method® (husband-coached natural childbirth). Through the literature reviewed, it was found that the Bradley Method involves a longer set of classes intended to educate on multiple components. HypnoBirthing focuses mainly on relaxation for self-hypnosis, the natural birth process, and releasing fears related to pregnancy and childbirth. Pain management during childbirth is also controlled differently; with the Bradley Method using the support of a coach to coupe and HypnoBirthing using self-hypnosis to control the degree and manner in which a woman feels the contractions of labor and the process of birth. The manuscript is eight pages with three tables that cover the main points, class content, and evidence outcomes of both methods. The manuscript will be submitted to the Journal of Perinatal Education (JPE) for publication. JPE is a peer-reviewed journal that specifically focuses of ante, intra, and postpartum education to increase the knowledge of educators and other healthcare professionals. Readers of this journal include childbirth educators, nurses, midwives, and physicians. If published, the readers can use the tables in the article as patient teaching tools. This allows the content to be easily broken down so that each woman can understand the similarities and differences.

description: Big Data are growing at an exponential rate and it becomes necessary the use of tools and technologies to manage, process and visualize them in order to extract value. In this paper a micro-service based platform is presented for the composition, deployment and execution of Big Data Analytics (BDA) application workflows in several domains and scenarios is presented. ALIDA is a result coming from previous research activities by ENGINEERING. It aims to achieve a unified platform that allows both BDA application developers and data analysts to interact with it. Developers will be able to register new BDA applications through the exposed API and/or through the web user interface. Data analysts will be able to use the BDA applications provided to create batch/stream workflows through a dashboard user interface to manipulate and subsequently visualize results from one or more sources. The platform also supports the auto-tuning of Big Data frameworks deployment properties to improve metrics for analytics application. ALIDA has been properly extended and integrated into a software solution for the analysis of large amounts of data from the avionic industries. A use case within this context is then presented.
