Full text“Errare humanum est, sed in errore perseverare diabolicum” è probabilmente uno dei più famosi aforismi di Seneca. Il messaggio centrale di questo aforisma è che gli umani sono portati a commettere errori per natura, ma sono anche in grado di prendere le dovute precauzioni in modo che questi errori non siano reiterati nel futuro. Infatti, reagire efficientemente ad un errore, è una abilità fondamentale per interagire con il nostro ambiente. Per tale ragione, la “reattività agli errori” rappresenta oggi un tema importante per le neuroscienze cognitive. La scoperta di potenziali evento-relati, come l’error-related negativity (ERN), e di specifici network neurali hanno contribuito alla nostra comprensione dei processi che intervengono dopo un errore. Tuttavia, se da una parte, le scoperte in ambito neurofisiologico sembrano robuste e consistenti, dall’altra non è del tutto chiaro come tali cambiamenti neurali influenzino il nostro comportamento. Allo stato attuale, un’evidenza empirica molto robusta è che dopo un errore, le nostre risposte tendono ad essere più lente, un effetto conosciuto come post-error slowing (PES; Rabbitt). È stato ipotizzato che il PES riflette la maggiore cautela con cui gli umani si apprestano ad una nuova azione dopo un errore. Questa interpretazione del PES, tuttavia, è stata messa in discussione, da diverse ricerche. In primo luogo, alcuni studi hanno suggerito che il PES potrebbe verificarsi in quanto l’elaborazione dell’errore influenza negativamente l’elaborazione delle altre informazioni. In secondo luogo, gli studi precedenti sul PES sono stati criticati a causa della scarsa validità ecologica dei paradigmi sperimentali utilizzati. Lo scopo di questa tesi di dottorato è quello di studiare le conseguenze degli errori in un contesto più realistico, ovvero quello dei movimenti diretti ad uno scopo. A tal fine, ho esaminato come gli errori influenzano la preparazione e l’esecuzione del movimento di prensione. La sezione introduttiva di questa tesi si focalizzerà sui più recenti risultati empirici riguardanti la reattività agli errori. Nel Capitolo 1, dopo una dettagliata introduzione degli aggiustamenti comportamentali successivi a un errore (sezione 1.1 e 1.2), descriverò i principali studi di neuroimmagine che hanno analizzato le basi neurali della reattività agli errori (sezione 1.3). Nel Capitolo 2, introdurrò la finestra sperimentale che ho utilizzato per studiare il PES. In particolare, descriverò il movimento di prensione. Nella seconda parte della tesi descriverò gli esperimenti che ho svolto. Nel Capitolo 3, fornirò una descrizione generale della metodologia utilizzata. Nel primo esperimento (Capitolo 4), presenterò il nuovo compito sperimentale che ho utilizzato per studiare la reattività agli errori. In particolare, in questo esperimento ai partecipanti era richiesto di afferrare una biglia di acciaio posta in equilibrio su un supporto di legno, senza farlo cadere. Oltre ai tempi di reazione, ho utilizzato l’analisi cinematica, al fine di verificare se gli aggiustamenti comportamentali influenzano l’esecuzione del movimento, oltre che la pianificazione. Nell’esperimento successivo (Capitolo 5), ho utilizzato un paradigma sperimentale simile. Ai soggetti era richiesto di raggiungere e sfiorare con la mano il supporto, senza farlo cadere. Questo esperimento è stato svolto per verificare se la reattività all’errore ha un impatto diverso sulla componente di raggiungimento e su quella di prensione o se invece produce un rallentamento aspecifico dell’intero movimento. Nel Capitolo 6, descriverò un esperimento in cui l’analisi cinematica è stata accoppiata con la stimolazione magnetica transcranica, per verificare se l’eccitabilità cortico-spinale è influenzata dagli errori e per individuare potenziali correlazioni fra le misure cinematiche e neurofisiologiche. Nel Capitolo 7, ho esaminato se l’osservazione di un errore influenza il nostro comportamento, mediante l’analisi cinematica. Nel Capitolo 8, contestualizzerò i risultati ottenuti alla luce della letteratura precedente. In generale gli studi proposti in questa tesi contribuiranno a capire come gli errori influenzano il nostro comportamento e come gli errori sono interpretati e valutati a livello cognitivo.

Full textIt is expected to consider the error as something that must be avoided, a non-satisfactory performance indicator. Since childhood, the human being is used to seek the right answers, so that, when the reasoning is wrong, he/she should remake it. Such outcome is charged at home by the family and at school by the teachers. However, the error is the oldest element in the learning process and, in addition to being a performance indicator, the error also shows something that the student knows or thinks he/she has understood. It is possible to notice that some high school students make some mistakes or has some doubts that were supposed to be clarified during the elementary school. In this paper, it will be analyzed the reason why these doubts are still present, because the analysis of these errors can help both students and teachers. The students, with a feedback of what has been done to try to improve their knowledge and the teacher, leading him to design new teaching strategies and lesson plans to best suit his/her target audience.

Full textDedicated measuring systems are particularly recommended for the repetitive inspection of a mechanical feature. However, measuring instruments and systems present errors that deteriorate the result of the inspection. Such a circumstance demands the application of error separation techniques that perform decoupling of errors induced by the measuring system from part errors. This work aims to present an automated measuring system that is dedicated to the task of inspecting straightness and roundness errors in mechanical components. An industrial robot was employed to operate specific measuring devices for each measurement. However, industrial robots present relatively large positioning errors that prevent the use of their coordinate system as a reference to accurate measurements. In order to minimize the effect of the measuring system on the measured value, multi-probe error separation techniques were employed. On the straightness measurement, a new approach was developed to minimize the influence of the axial positioning error of the sensors, which consist of the major error source on the decoupling process. Computational simulations and experimental straightness and roundness tests were accomplished for various artefacts, which confirmed the effectiveness of the employed methodology.

Full textDenna avhandling är en introduktion till kvantfelrättning, där jag undersöker släktskapet med teorin om klassisk information - men också det mindre välkända området kvantinformation. Kvantinformation beskriver hur information kan bäras av kvanttillstånd, och hur växelverkan med andra system ger upphov till åtskilliga typer av fel och effekter, varav många saknar motsvarighet i den klassiska informationsteorin. Bland dessa effekter återfinns dekoherens - en konsekvens av s.k. sammanflätning. Dekoherens kan också förstås som "informationsläckage", det vill säga att kunskap om en händelse överförs till omgivningen - en effekt som i allmänhet förstör superpositioner i rena kvanttillstånd. Det är möjligt att med hjälp av kvantfelrättning skydda kvanttillstånd (t.ex. qubitar) från omgivningens påverkan, dock kan sådana tillstånd aldrig förstärkas eller dupliceras, p.g.a icke-kloningsteoremet. Tillstånden skyddas genom att införa redundans, varpå tillstånden interagerar med omgivningen. Felen identifieras m.h.a. icke-förstörande mätningar och återställs med unitära grindar och ancilla-tillstånd.Men i realiteten kommer inte alla tänkbara fel att inträffa, utan dessa begränsas av vilken informationsbärare som används, vilken interaktion som uppstår med omgivningen, samt hur omgivningen "fångar upp" information om felhändelserna. Med kunskap om sådan karakteristik kan man bygga koder, s.k. kanalanpassade kvantfelrättande koder. Vanligtvis antas att omgivningens förmåga att särskilja felhändelser är liten, och man kan då tala om en minneslös omgivning. Antagandet gäller inte alltid, då denna förmåga bestäms av reservoirens temperatur, och i det speciella fall då fotoner används som informationsbärare gäller typiskt

It has been said that "cryptography is about concealing information, and coding theory is about revealing it." Despite these apparently conflicting goals, the two fields have common origins and many interesting relationships. In this thesis, we establish new connections between cryptography and coding theory in two ways: first, by applying cryptographic tools to solve classical problems from the theory of error correction; and second, by studying special kinds of codes that are motivated by cryptographic applications. In the first part of this thesis, we consider a model of error correction in which the source of errors is adversarial, but limited to feasible computation. In this model, we construct appealingly simple, general, and efficient cryptographic coding schemes which can recover from much larger error rates than schemes for classical models of adversarial noise. In the second part, we study collusion-secure fingerprinting codes, which are of fundamental importance in cryptographic applications like data watermarking and traitor tracing. We demonstrate tight lower bounds on the lengths of such codes by devising and analyzing a general collusive attack that works for any code.

Full textDynamic voltage scaling (DVS) technique is primarily used in digital design to enhance the energy efficiency by reducing the supply voltage of the design. However reduction in Vdd augments the impact of variability and timing errors in sub-nanometer designs. The main objective of this work is to handle timing errors, and to formulate a framework to estimate energy consumption of error resilient applications in the context of near-threshold regime (NTR). In this thesis, Dynamic Speculation based error detection and correction is explored in the context of adaptive voltage and clock overscaling. Apart from error detection and correction, some errors can also be tolerated or, in other words, circuits can be pushed beyond their limits to compute incorrectly to achieve higher energy efficiency. The proposed error detection and correction method achieves 71% overclocking with 2% additional hardware cost. This work involves extensive study of design at gate level to understand the behaviour of gates under overscaling of supply voltage, bias voltage and clock frequency (collectively called as operating triads). A bottom-up approach is taken: by studying trends of energy vs. error of basic arithmetic operators at transistor level. Based on the profiling of arithmetic operators, a tool flow is formulated to estimate energy and error metrics for different operating triads. We achieve maximum energy efficiency of 89% for arithmetic operators like 8-bit and 16-bit adders at the cost of 20% faulty bits by operating in NTR. A statistical model is developed for the arithmetic operators to represent the behaviour of the operators for different variability impacts. This model is used for approximate computing of error resilient applications that can tolerate acceptable margin of errors. This method is further explored for execution unit of a VLIW processor. The proposed framework provides quick estimation of energy and error metrics of a benchmark programs by simple compilation in a C compiler. In the proposed energy estimation framework, characterization of arithmetic operators is done at transistor level, and the energy estimation is done at functional level. This hybrid approach makes energy estimation faster and accurate for different operating triads. The proposed framework estimates energy for different benchmark programs with 98% accuracy compared to SPICE simulation

Full textObservations made within nursing practice indicate that errors in the ministering of medicaments are liable to occur and in fact they do. As causes, amongst others, there is the workload of the nursing team, the insufficient knowledge of medicaments, the large number of medicaments launched in the market each year, the quality of medical prescriptions, ultimately, failure in the medication system in a general manner. One way to lower medication errors is to notify them, which leads to the study of the causes and enables their prevention. In this way, this study was developed with the following objectives: to describe and analyze the notified medication errors in a General Private Hospital in the city of Campinas-SP and the incident report used by the institution and propose a report on medication errors. This deals with a longitudinal and retrospective study which is exploratory, descriptive and divided into two fases: in the first an analysis of the medication errors was performed and in the second an interview with the professionals. In the period of January 1999 to December 2005, 39 medication errors were analyzed, whereby 13 (33,3%) were related to the ministering of non-prescribed medication and 10 (25,6%) were related to errors of omission. The interview was performed with 64 professionals and of these, 45 (70,3%) did not know about the incident report used at the institution. Of the 19 (29,7%) professional who did know about the report, all considered it to be adequate for reporting medication errors. In addition to this, 30 (46,9%) professionals believe that medication errors are notified to the institution. However with the low number of errors notified in the period of 6 years, it is clear that the true picture at the institution is quite different. Due to this, a model of Error Notification Report, that was structured according to data from literature and from governmental organs and institutions, was proposed. It is concluded that the professionals of this institution have no knowledge of the present situation, which occurs inside their institution. Also, the institutions incident report is incomplete, needs to be revised and disclosed within the institution in order to involve the entire multi-disciplinary team, increase the number of errors reported, thereby implementing action strategies to avoid new errors and consequently increase the safety of patients and the quality of the rendered assistance.

Full textThe current competitiveness of the global economy requires a sophisticated quality control in manufacturing industries, because, due to the large number of companies in this sector are constant the requirements of improvements in production. Thus, fast, accurate and flexible, systems of measurement as the CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) are introduced at production process and, with respect to dimensional inspection, this provides the qualities intended. Like all machines, the CMM is susceptible to errors, resulting in erroneous values of their reading response. In this context, the main objective of the study is to describe a methodology of error budget in a CMM, equating and quantifying in their preferred directions the errors incidents during a measurement procedure. The error budget was held in a moving bridge CMM in the forms, theoretical and experimental. The methodology applied in the theoretical form was developed by the method of reduced synthesizing technique of errors and the method of synthesizing technique of errors. For these synths were developed mathematical models of the machine by way of an analysis of its structure and also using the homogeneous transformations. The experimental synthesizing technique of errors was made with obtaining the individual values of 21 errors. For this method, was used a laser measurement, optical set of measurement by interferometry, electronic probe, electronic level, granite square, and fixation devices. Through the values obtained in the experimental synthesizing technique enabled to know the influence of errors on the tip of the probe. The results showed that the \"Z\" axis had the lowest errors of rotation, with amplitude less than 1.7 arcoseg, contrary to the axis \"X\" and \"Y\". It was verified that the methods of synthesizing technique of errors can be used as error budget, because they provide to know the errors of a coordinate measuring machine and also trace them throughout their volume.

Full textCoders of databases repeatedly face the problem of checking their Structured Query Language (SQL) code. Instructors face the difficulty of checking student projects and lab assignments in database courses. We collect and categorize common MySQL programming errors into three groups: data definition errors, data manipulation errors, and transaction control errors. We build these into a comprehensive list of MySQL errors, which novices are inclined make during database programming. We collected our list of common MySQL errors both from the technical literature and directly by noting errors made in assignments handed in by students. In the results section of this research, we check and summarize occurrences of these errors based on three characteristics as semantics, syntax, and logic. These data form the basis of a future static MySQL checker that will eventually assist database coders to correct their code automatically. These errors also form a useful checklist to guide students away from the mistakes that they are prone to make.

Full textThis dissertation focuses on understudied aspects of nonresponse in a context where limited information is available from refusals. In particular, this study examines social and psychological predictors of nonresponse in fast-paced face-to-face surveys; namely, election day surveys —popularly known as exit polls. Exit polls present unique challenges to study nonresponse since the population being sampled is fleeting and several conditions are beyond the researcher’s control.
If sample voters choose not participate, there is no practical way of contacting them to collect information in a timely manner. Using a proof-of-concept approach, this study explores a unique dataset that links information of respondents, nonrespondents, interviewer characteristics, as well as precinct-level information. Using this information, model-based plausible information is generated for nonrespondents (i.e., imputed data) to examine nonresponse dynamics. These data are then analyzed with multilevel regression methods. Nonresponse hypotheses are motivated by literature on cognitive abilities, cognition and social behavior.
Results from multiply imputed data and multilevel regression analyses are consistent with hypothesized relationships, suggesting that this approach may offer a way of studying nonresponse where limited information exists. Additionally, this dissertation explores sources of measurement error in exit polls. It examines whether the mechanisms likely to produce refusals are the same mechanisms likely introduce error once survey cooperation is established. A series of statistical interaction terms in OLS regressions —motivated by social interactions between interviewers and respondents— are used to explore hypothesized relationships. Overall, this research finds that cognitive mechanisms appear to account for voter nonresponse, whereas social desirability mechanisms seem to explain exit polling error.

Alasfour, Aisha Saud. "Grammatical Errors by Arabic ESL Students| An Investigation of L1 Transfer through Error Analysis." Thesis, Portland State University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10826886.
Full textThis study investigated the effect of first language (L1) transfer on Arabic ESL learners’ acquisition of the relative clauses, the passive voice and the definite article. I used Contrastive Analysis (CA) and Error Analysis (EA) to analyze 50 papers written by Arabic ESL students at the ACTFL Advanced Mid proficiency level. The analysis was paired with interviews with five advanced students to help determine whether L1 transfer was, in fact, influencing students’ errors predicted by CA.
Students in this study made L1 errors along with other errors. Although no statistical difference was found between the frequency of transfer and other (non-transfer) errors, L1 transfer errors were still common for many learners in this data. The frequency of the relative clause L1 transfer errors was slightly higher than other errors. However, passive voice L1 errors were as frequent as other errors whereas definite article L1 errors were slightly less frequent than other errors. The analysis of the interviews suggested that L1 still played a crucial role in influencing learners errors.
The analysis also suggested that the frequency of transfer errors in the papers used in this study might have been influenced by CA-informed instruction students received and students’ language level. Specifically, learners reported that both factors helped them reduce the frequency of L1 transfer errors in their writing.
The teaching implications of this study include familiarizing language instructors with possible sources of errors for Arabic ESL learners. Language instructors should try to identify sources of errors by conducting their own analyses or consulting existing literature on CA paired with EA. Finally, I recommend adopting a CA-informed instruction to help students reduce and overcome errors that are influenced by their L1.

Full textABSTRACT - The problem of medication error has developed a growing interest and importance in recent years. The direct consequences to the patient, that often affect the prolongation of hospitalization, the need for additional resources and the decrease of satisfaction from the patients are some of the aspects that matter to analyze in order to increase patient safety. In the drugs circuit in a hospital environment, several professionals are involved, and nurses are at the end of the string as far as administering medication to patients is concerned. International bibliography refers high incidences of adverse events related to drugs. In Portugal, there are no available studies that let us know either the type of incidents, or the extent of the medication error issue. We conducted a prospective, descriptive, exploratory survey, using the technique of a non-participant observation of the administration of drugs, using the technique of non-participant observation, administration of medications. We aimed to determine the frequency of in medication administration incidents within the internal medicine department and, on the other hand, to depict the type of incidents which occurred in the administration of medication and identify their possible causes. The population under study was constituted by the nurses who administered medicines to patients hospitalized in the internal medicine department from June to August 2012, and 1521 administrations were observed. The following observation grid was used: right patient; right drug; right dose; right time; right route; right administration technique; asepsis, infusion time and correct monitoring. We found that in 43% of the doses administered there was at least one error, leading to a total of 764 errors. No patient, medication, extra dose, route, pharmaceutical form, administration of not prescribed medication errors were observed. 0.19% were errors in preparation, 0.72% dose errors, 1.7% errors of omission, 1.97% of wrong administration technique, 13.52% monitoring errors, 28.73% of wrong time. The infusion time of parenteral therapy has not been met vii in 27.69% of opportunities, having always been administered ahead of the recommended time. We found no relation between interruptions during the administration of therapy and errors. On the contrary, there is a relation between the number of doses with error and shifts occurred, being more frequent in night shifts. We also noted that errors were more frequent on weekends and that the risk of the occurrence of an error in the administration of medication increases 1.5 times when the number of nurses is scarce.
