Being in nature is often regarded to be calming, relaxing and purifying. While technology has the potential to support engagement with nature, developing systems that provide support in an unobtrusive manner holds many challenges for interaction design. In this article, the authors describe their reflections around the NatureCHI workshop series. The aim with the workshops has been to help foster a research community interested in the design of Unobtrusive User Experiences with Technology in Nature. The first of two workshops ran as part of CHI 2016 in San Jose, California, while the second workshop took place alongside MobileHCI 2017 in Vienna, Austria. With 25 papers presented in total, the workshops demonstrate a rising interest in the areas where nature and interactive technologies meet.

One of the most significant studies of Barth's theological ethics to have appeared in recent years is The Analogy of Grace by Professor Gerald McKenny of the University of Notre Dame. In this article review, I seek to accomplish three things. First, I will offer a concise introduction to the form, content and purpose of this book. Second, I will attend to some of the volume's core claims in greater detail, exploring areas of potential exegetical and theological divergence. And finally, by way of conclusion, I will comment on the work against the backdrop of contemporary studies of Barth's theological ethics.

A common problem in interpreting marine seismic data is the interference of water‐bottom multiples with primary reflections containing the structural or stratigraphic information. In deep ‐water areas, where considerable primary energy arrives before the first simple water‐bottom multiple, weak and deep crustal reflections are often obscured by the first‐order water‐bottom multiples. In order to obtain a more interpretable section, a technique involving a two‐step process was developed to suppress the first‐order water‐bottom multiples. First, the relation between the zero‐order, water‐bottom primary and its first‐order, simple water‐bottom multiple is used to derive statistically an inverse of the seismic wavelet in order to remove its effect, i.e., to wavelet‐shape the data. This wavelet processing provides a band‐limited estimate of the subsurface impulse response. The second step consists of using the autoconvolution of the wavelet‐shaped primary energy to estimate deterministically and subtract the actual first‐order, water‐bottom multiples, The method was applied to field data from the deep Gulf of Mexico. Different incidence angles for the input primaries and multiples, as well as dipping reflecting interfaces, introduce uncompensated traveltime errors. These errors reduce the ability to suppress multiples, thus restricting the validity of the method to low frequencies where common‐depth‐point stacking is less effective. On the other hand, curved interfaces may also cause amplitude prediction problems. In spite of this, the first‐order, water‐bottom multiple energy is significantly reduced (by up to 18 dB) on dip‐filtered, single‐channel data.

The present study aims at promoting a reflection on the relevance of the Discourse Analysis for the Translation Studies based on the theories of the main researchers for both areas. To do so, this paper is divided into three sections. In the first section, we deal with Discourse Analysis theories based on Brown and Yule (1983); Fairclough (1992) and Hatim and Mason (1990). In the second section, we present some aspects of the theories related to Translation Studies. In the following section, we raise some reflections regarding the interface Discourse Analysis and Translation Studies according to the theories presented previously. Finally, we present the conclusions concerning the research carried out in this paper.

Abstract This contribution addresses some particular aspects of fisheries and some specificities of the European Union (EU) in this field. The first section explains how institutional settings in the framework of which all states concerned can discuss mutual rights and obligations, including the ‘due regard’ obligation in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ), have been established in the field of fisheries. The second section presents two examples of situations in which the ‘due regard’ obligation has given rise to discussion: the negotiations on an Agreement to Prevent Unregulated High Seas Fisheries in the Central Arctic Ocean and discussions on Marine Protected Areas and other similar areas. In the third section, a few issues that are particular to the EU are identified, including the competences transferred to the EU and their external exercise by the EU and the impact of EU law on relations between Member States in their respective EEZs.

Since its first release in the form of the PA-X Peace Agreements Database, the initial project undertaken by the University of Edinburgh’s Political Settlements Research Programme has seen four more data releases. Multiple data and visualisation projects stemmed from PA-X. The article provides an update to the initial introduction to the PA-X data and discusses the key lessons learned from the processes of data collection, analysis, and visualisation. This assessment is undertaken in two key areas: first, with regard to the process of “building” a dataset and database; second, with regard to the substantive findings and trends gleaned from the PA-X data on peace agreements and peace processes. The place and impact of this database in the context of peace and conflict studies are also assessed. Data resources pertaining to this field of inquiry are explored, with the focus on the ways in which the PA-X data can be used in conjunction with other datasets on peace and conflict. Finally, the future development of PA-X is addressed. It is argued that keeping up with the direction of the research literature in the field requires that the data on peace processes and peace agreement are better disaggregated, in terms of actors and groups signing deals, and in terms of spatial and temporal coverage of the signed peace deals.

This article is the second part of a critical reflection upon the progress of Hospitality & Society in its first ten years. Analysis of the articles published highlights conceptual contributions made to the field of hospitality studies. Thirteen major themes are identified: conceptualizations of hospitality; migration and labour; lifestyle; social hospitality; hospitality, consumption, global citizenship and ethics; addressing neglected areas of research; hostipitality, violence and exploitation; hospitality careers and higher education; historical studies; image and identity; space, design and food; hospitality management and neoliberalism; hospitality and technology. Following reflection on the original goals of Hospitality & Society and the progress made, a research agenda is proposed emerging from the analysis contributing to the aim to transform the landscape of hospitality scholarship.

AbstractI have been a judge for twenty-four years and have taught Torts for sixty years. What has all that taught me about Torts, about federal-state relations in this field, and about judges and judging? The first thing I learned is how important Torts and Torts reasoning are in many areas that we don’t think of as being traditionally Torts. The second thing I have come to realize is how significant federal preemption has become to the field. The third thing I have come to understand is why judges and judicial lawmaking are particularly important in Torts: the people who are active in pushing and resisting Torts “reforms” before legislatures are bound to be repeat players; courts, instead, are invoked by non-repeat parties. My fourth realization upon becoming a judge is a completely different one: there are situations in traditional Torts-negligence law that seem sufficiently rare to require little attention but are, in fact, central to areas of law that a federal judge sees all the time. My fifth point has to do with how little federal judges in general, and federal appellate judges in particular, know or understand about Tort law. My last reflections go to something of a totally other sort. And that is the difference I have come to see in the roles of scholars and of judges. It is often said of judges that they should “do justice though the heavens fall.” That is, of course, nonsense. A judge who truly risked causing the heavens to fall would be thrown off the bench in no time. The role of scholars is quite different. As scholars, our role is to tell and write the truth as we have come to see it, fully and courageously, though the heavens fall. Our job is to look in dark places, shine light on what we believe is really going on, and reveal what is actually occurring in the face of the human subterfuges and legal fictions that obscure the truth.

Two important questions were addressed in this paper. Firstly, how to construct an accurate model of a sea floor canyon — its topography and associated seismic velocities. Secondly, how the effects of such canyons can be accounted for in obtaining depths to subcanyon reflections using conventionally processed seismic data. An answer to the first question is required not only for deriving depths from conventional data but is equally required of the various canyon‐solving data processing methods listed in the paper (p. 1397). The second question is important, as the authors say, to provide a quick and inexpensive reconnaissance method of mapping structures in depth with reasonable accuracy.

This paper proposes a new solution to geo-register the nearly feature-less maritime video feeds. We detect the horizon using sizable or uniformly moving vessels, and estimate the vertical apex using water reflections of the street lamps. The computed horizon and apex provide a metric rectification that removes the affine distortions and reduces the searching space for geo-registration. Geo-registration is obtained by searching the best orientation where the estimated water masks on satellite images and camera views are matched. The proposed solution has the following contributions: first, water and coastlines are used as features for registration between horizontally looking maritime views and satellite images. Second, water reflections are proposed to estimate the vertical vanishing point. Third, we give algorithms for the detection of water areas in both satellite images and camera views. Experimental results and applications on cross camera tracking are demonstrated. We also discuss several observations, as well as limitations of the proposed approach.

ABSTRACTThis article revives consideration of the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), a network of Alinsky-style community organizing institutions supported by the Catholic Church, as an object of theological and ethical reflection. After describing the IAF and its organizing practices, it advances two claims. First, the IAF offers Catholic social teaching a concept of power that can sharpen its understanding of social change. Second, the IAF offers a promising model of parish social ministry. Specifically, it offers a pedagogy and praxis of political agency that enhances the parish's ability to live out its calling to be the church, and to be a mediating institution of public life. Such a model integrates evangelical impulses into the “public church” framework for conceiving Christianity's relationship to civil society.

MINI REFLECTIONS ON MAXI ISSUES — ABOUT AXIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE LAW AND ORDERThe first part of the draft aims at presenting the law and order as a philosophical construct with regard to dichotomous divisions. The scope of the discourse has been reduced to two planes, also referred to as problems. The first, understanding the designations of opposition of such terms as eunomy — isonomy. The second, selective presentation of the opposing types of the law and order in the key of conceptual correlation: the law and order — legality, the subjective law and order — the objective law and order, the formal law and order — the material law and order.The second part of the study is an attempt to understand the law and order in the optics of the axiological and legal binomial. Analogically to the first part of the publication, the methodological symmetry was maintained. The analyzes were made in two cognitive areas. The first is the definition of the material law and order understood in an inclusive way, including the attributes of the law and order. The second one is an attempt to select the principles-values from which the epicurean therapeutical tetrapharmacon should be composed in relation to the law and order.

While community-campus engagement (CCE) has gained prominence in postsecondary institutions, critics have called for a more direct focus on community goals and objectives. In this paper, we explore the possibilities and limitations of community-centred research through our collective experiences with the Community First: Impacts of Community Engagement (CFICE) and the Community Food Sovereignty (CFS) Hub. Drawing on a four-year research project with twelve community-campus partnership projects across Canada, we outline three key areas for reflection. First, we examine the meanings of community-centred research—called “community first”—in our work. Second, we explore key tensions that resulted from putting “community first” research into practice. Third, we discuss possibilities that emerged from attempts to engage in “community first” CCE. We suggest that while putting “community first” presents an opportunity to challenge hierarchical relationships between academia, western ways of knowing, and community, it does not do so inherently. Rather, the CCE process is complex and contested, and in practice it often fails to meaningfully dismantle hierarchies and structures that limit grassroots community leadership and impact. Overall, we argue for the need to both champion and problematize “community first” approaches to CCE and through these critical, and sometimes difficult conversations, we aim to promote more respectful and reciprocal CCE that works towards putting “community first.”

From September 2019 to August 2020, the author served as a senior economist on the Council of Economic Advisers, a government agency charged with providing economic analysis and advice to the President of the United States and senior government officials. Working with the Council yielded many useful lessons on how anesthesiologists can influence healthcare policy. First, because the President has wide latitude over many areas of health policy that directly impact patient care and anesthesiologists’ working environment, anesthesiologists should focus their efforts on influencing policymakers within the executive branch of government in addition to influencing lawmakers. Second, policymakers are busy and typically do not have a technical background, so anesthesiologists must learn how to communicate with them succinctly and at an appropriate level. Finally, because policymakers often need analysis quickly, anesthesiologists must meet these needs even if the underlying analysis is rougher and less precise that what would normally be needed for peer review.

Seismic reflection surveying in basalt-covered areas often fails to image underlying reflectors. To gain insights into the nature of the problem and obtain potential solutions, we have conducted experimental 2D seismic reflection and offset VSP surveys at two coal mines in the Bowen Basin of Australia. At the first mine, the basalt is relatively deep (114 m) and relatively thin (20 m). Conventional seismic acquisition and processing of a 2D seismic line provide poor results. However, upgoing reflections from layers below the basalt are clearly evident in the VSP survey and prestack depth migration is able to improve the continuity of the reflectors beneath the basalt. At the second mine, the 360 m wide basalt is at a depth of 40 m and has a thickness of about 40 m. It is fresh and unweathered and consists of multiple flows which are interlayered with unconsolidated sediments. Long-offset data acquisition combined with prestack depth migration was expected to produce satisfactory results but this is not the case. The associated VSP survey suggests that the problems at this mine are due to (1) the generation of complex downgoing and upgoing wave-fields within the basalt and (2) significant scattering of surface waves from outside the basalt at the margins of the basalt. Another problem is that the target coal seams are at about 300 m depth and the muting required to remove refraction events limited the effectiveness of the prestack depth migration. Reducing the strength of the surface waves through selection of an appropriate source and placement of shots at the base of the low-velocity zone (as had been the case at the first mine) will therefore improve the chances for a successful outcome. A Vibroseis survey subsequently undertaken at the second mine, which produced shot records with reduced surface waves, shows this to be the case.

This study aims to explore through a qualitative thematic analysis the reflections of six animal protection and wildlife conservation NGOs in Romania regarding the development of the first specialized master’s degree program in ethology and human-animal interaction (EHAI), in relation to the identified needs based on their experience in the field, as well as their expectations in terms of collaboration with the graduates of such a program in addressing the common problems in the areas of animal welfare and human-animal interactions (HAIs). The qualitative content analysis of the written reflections allowed the identification of two themes, which provided valuable insights regarding the curriculum offerings and the pedagogical strategies that could respond to the expressed needs and expectations. The first theme included seven categories of concerns expressed by the NGOs over the animal welfare and HAIs in Romania, i.e., concerns over stray animals, lack of education of general population on HAI and animal welfare, maltreatment of animals, human-animal conflicts, lack of professional specializations in HAI, concerns over common global issues, and concerns over national nature conservation. The second theme refers to the expectations regarding the roles of the graduates of the EHAI master’s program, and it includes four categories of codes: agents for change towards a responsible community, problem solvers, public policy-makers, and providers of competence-based expertise. The inclusion of Service-Learning as signature pedagogy in the EHAI program, in connection with the One Welfare approach, is discussed in relation to the needs expressed by the representatives of the NGOs.

This article has two sections. The first elaborates on a new Arab proposal that is gaining prominence in the realm of sociological research, which calls for a new sociological classification based on the concept of balance/conflict. The second section explores the work of the Iraqi scholar and sociologist Ali Al-Wardi and describes how he adapted the sociological concepts useful in analysing Western societies and combined them with the work of the forerunner of Arab sociology, Ibn Khaldoun, in applying them to the Arab world. The article explores the problems that have arisen for sociology in the region, and it attempts to classify the schools of sociological thought in the areas of epistemology and ideology, characteristics and seclusion, synthesis and openness. It describes the process of how these schools of sociological thought have evolved, and how they can be simplified and rendered useful for Arab sociologists to study their societies.

This study offers an overview of the thematic structure in Communication during the first two decades of the 20th century, 2001-2010 and 2011-2020. The included work mapped author keywords and keywords plus of citable articles published in the Journal Citation Reports-2019 edition. A longitudinal perspective was employed to visualize the thematic evolution. Four predominant thematic areas were evidenced in both periods: (1) Speech and Language, (2) Commercial Communication, (3) Health Communication, and (4) Organizational Communication. There were four topics reflecting the formation of substantial research areas during the second decade, such as (1) Science Communication, (2) Scholarly Publishing, (3) Mental Health and Interpersonal Relationships, and (4) Crime and Violence. In general, from the first to the second decade, the technological dimension ceased to be predominant, and instead, there was a more significant presence of themes that responded to a socio-psychological dimension.

In this research paper, we have tried to probe the effect or reflections of wage discrimination on poverty. It is found that the differences in the wage determination process in the public and private sectors may result in earning differentials across socio-religious groups. Many of the research community have been given data about discrimination in the labour market. In this particular paper, we have given the results of data interpretation for wage discrimination and its direct or indirect relation with poverty. The analysis has been presented for mainly three types of work; regular, casual and self-employed work. For the query of wage discrimination and its effect on poverty, we had divided the households into two parts, the first type of households whose household’s MPCE is below the poverty line and second whose household’s MPCE is higher the poverty line. The findings of the study make clear that the average daily wage for all type work of lower caste is less than the upper caste. The results also show that the poor household has found higher in lower caste in comparison to upper caste. The differences in the average wage-earning among the social groups for the same types of work may be the case of discrimination and poverty. The result argued to policymakers that they should frame an appropriate plan to address this issue and work for indiscrimination in the labour market and job creation in the rural areas.

The purpose of this research is to understand the paradoxical practices of territorial management and to look into ways of supporting the local actors of peri-urban agriculture. To do so, we conducted a case study into the policy implemented for the past 25 years by the urban community of the Pays d’Aubagne et de l’Etoile (Bouches-du-Rhône). Drawing on quantitative analyses of qualitative data, we demonstrate the relevance of these management practices in action. We go on to propose managerial tools that can be applied in the framework of public action in peri-urban agriculture. Points for practitioners The practical uses of the article are: first, to identify and understand the paradoxes, a recurring source of tension and deadlock in territorial public administration; and, second, to contribute concrete avenues of reflection and solutions to the territorial managers faced with these situations, especially in the management of peri-urban agricultural areas.

We provide precise estimates of reflector orientations beneath the Archean Abitibi Subprovince, using two distinct approaches based on Lithoprobe seismic reflection data. In the first, we use the dip of reflections observed on intersecting profiles to establish the three-dimensional orientation of reflective structures. In the second, the strikes and dips of reflectors are estimated in the crooked parts of seismic reflection profiles by calculating a measure of coherency along the traveltime trajectories defined by a particular azimuth, dip, depth, and medium velocity. Mid-crustal reflectors define two areas with distinctive geometry: reflectors beneath the southern Abitibi belt are oppositely dipping, and convergent at depth, providing a V-shape aspect to the greenstone rocks; other reflectors beneath the northern Abitibi belt are, in general, subparallel, dipping at an average of 30° toward the north. These north-dipping reflectors are partly disrupted by a low-reflectivity zone, which is attributed to rocks of the Opatica Subprovince, located underneath the northern Abitibi belt. Lower-crustal reflectors have a similar, shallowly north-dipping orientation throughout the Abitibi Subprovince. The geometry of the reflectors recovered is consistent with the different tectonic histories proposed for the southern and northern Abitibi assemblages, until common deformation during a north-south shortening event. Attitudes recovered in the northern Abitibi belt are consistent with tectonic scenarios involving underthrusting of Abitibi middle and lower crustal terranes beneath the Opatica belt, whereas the oppositely dipping reflectors recovered in the middle crust beneath the southern Abitibi belt could be representative of a rifted volcanic arc environment.

SummaryThis article examines the history of countervailing duty determinations with respect to softwood lumber between 1982 and 2005. The piece is divided into two main areas of analysis. First, the article chronicles and reviews certain key determinations made throughout the history of softwood lumber countervailing duty proceedings. It examines, in particular, certain recurring themes as well as issues that shed light on some of the interesting jurisprudential questions that arise out of the case study. Second, having completed this review, the note turns to distill some lessons from the experience to date. These lessons focus on the light shed by the lengthy history of the softwood lumber dispute upon the nature of subsidies disciplines in international trade. They also focus on what the softwood lumber dispute reveals about the relationship between different judicial actors at the international level. The article closes with some reflections on the limits of international dispute settlement tools in highly contentious and politicized cases.

To realize road traffic flow surveillance under various environments which contain poor visibility conditions, we have already proposed two vehicle detection methods using thermal images taken with an infrared thermal camera. The first method uses pattern recognition for the windshields and their surroundings to detect vehicles. However, the first method decreases the vehicle detection accuracy in winter season. To maintain high vehicle detection accuracy in all seasons, we developed the second method. The second method uses tires’ thermal energy reflection areas on a road as the detection targets. The second method did not achieve high detection accuracy for vehicles on left-hand and right-hand lanes except for two center-lanes. Therefore, we have developed a new method based on the second method to increase the vehicle detection accuracy. This paper proposes the new method and shows that the detection accuracy for vehicles on all lanes is 92.1%. Therefore, by combining the first method and the new method, high vehicle detection accuracies are maintained under various environments, and road traffic flow surveillance can be realized.

Because everyday actions are statistically structured, knowing which action a person has just completed allows predicting the most likely next action step. Taking even more than the preceding action into account improves this predictability but also causes higher processing costs. Using fMRI, we investigated whether observers exploit second-order statistical regularities preferentially if information on possible upcoming actions provided by first-order regularities is insufficient. We hypothesized that anterior pFC balances whether or not second-order information should be exploited. Participants watched videos of actions that were structured by first- and second-order conditional probabilities. Information provided by the first and by the second order was manipulated independently. BOLD activity in the action observation network was more attenuated the more information on upcoming actions was provided by first-order structure, reflecting expectation suppression for more predictable actions. Activation in posterior parietal sites decreased further with second-order information but increased in temporal areas. As expected, second-order information was integrated more when less first-order information was provided, and this interaction was mediated by anterior pFC (BA 10). Observers spontaneously used both the present and the preceding action to predict the upcoming action, and integration of the preceding action was enhanced when the present action was uninformative.

In many areas of the world, particularly in arid regions or in areas experiencing population growth, there is increased competition over scarce water resources. This is likely to increase in the future due to continued population growth, urban expansion and the challenge of the impact of climate change on water resource availability. In this context, groundwater is likely to play a pivotal role in facing water scarcity. When different users share a common-pool resource, basic rules are usually established to manage access to the resource and ensure balance between demand and supply. Water authorities worldwide are increasingly paying added attention towards regulating the use of groundwater because of its strategic value, e.g. in times of drought or as a natural reserve. In the case of groundwater, although regulatory measures exist, they are often difficult to enforce. This paper explores the situation with a discussion of two aspects: first (and in line with this special issue on water ethics), an examination of the fundamental individual values that underpin behavior in relation to water use, and second, an investigation of the typologies of unauthorized water use, its main potential impacts, potential root causes and reflections on imperfect institutions and social norms.

Deep learning based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) has been successfully applied to stereo matching. Compared with the traditional method, the speed and accuracy of this method have been greatly improved. However, the existing stereo matching framework based on a CNN often encounters two problems. First, the existing stereo matching network has many parameters, which leads to the matching running time being too long. Second, the disparity estimation is inadequate in some regions where reflections, repeated textures, and fine structures may lead to ill-posed problems. Through the lightweight improvement of the PSMNet (Pyramid Stereo Matching Network) model, the common matching effect of ill-conditioned areas such as repeated texture areas and weak texture areas is solved. In the feature extraction part, ResNeXt is introduced to learn unitary feature extraction, and the ASPP (Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling) module is trained to extract multiscale spatial feature information. The feature fusion module is designed to effectively fuse the feature information of different scales to construct the matching cost volume. The improved 3D CNN uses the stacked encoding and decoding structure to further regularize the matching cost volume and obtain the corresponding relationship between feature points under different parallax conditions. Finally, the disparity map is obtained by a regression. We evaluate our method on the Scene Flow, KITTI 2012, and KITTI 2015 stereo datasets. The experiments show that the proposed stereo matching network achieves a comparable prediction accuracy and much faster running speed compared with PSMNet.

The article is devoted to the description and justification of the author’s model representing possible demarcation of subject areas in psychological and non-psychological studies of the phenomenon of pain. In the first part of the paper, the deficiencies of existing approaches to the study and explanation of pain are analyzed, and the need for rethinking the existing biopsychosocial approach is indicated, which can be done based on the understanding of pain as a phenomenon of mental reflection. As prerequisites for solving and concretizing these problems, we briefly analyze the historically established non-psychological areas of the pain study (physiological, algometric, and humanities-based), within which we identify the main issues and statements about the nature of pain (particularly as a phenomenon of the subjective world). These issues are considered in a more specific form on the basis of methodological difficulties in psychological research on pain. The main questions are formulated, including the following: the relation of the objective basis of pain to the subjective experience; determination of the subject area of psychological research into pain; determination of the categorical status of pain and its relation to other phenomena of the psyche, to the categories of «subject», «personality». In the second part of the article, based on the indicated theoretical and empirical assumptions, a graphical model illustrating potential subject areas of psychological and non-psychological research is derived. The model reflects the place of various pain phenomena within a single selection process, and the exclusion of the information necessary to reflect and regulate the interaction of an organism and a destructive agent at the physiological, mental (direct behavioral regulation), and sociopsychological levels (socially-mediated regulation). In accordance with the levels of ‘pain’ regulation and reflection, we formulate the following: hypothetical scope of the pain concept (the narrow and broad definition); subject areas and their specifics; possible determinants that represent their phenomenology; possible hierarchical relationships of pain reflection levels. The paper also provides an outline of a hypothetical mechanism that connects the process of selecting pain experiences (the content of the subjective picture of pain) to the individual personality characteristics of the subject experiencing pain.

We explored functional differences between the supplementary and presupplementary motor areas (SMA and pre-SMA, respectively) systematically with respect to multiple behavioral factors, ranging from the retrieval and processing of associative visual signals to the planning and execution of target-reaching movement. We analyzed neuronal activity while monkeys performed a behavioral task in which two visual instruction cues were given successively with a delay: one cue instructed the location of the reach target, and the other instructed arm use (right or left). After a second delay, the monkey received a motor-set cue to be prepared to make the reaching movement as instructed. Finally, after a GO signal, it reached for the instructed target with the instructed arm. We found the following apparent differences in activity: 1) neuronal activity preceding the appearance of visual cues was more frequent in the pre-SMA; 2) a majority of pre-SMA neurons, but many fewer SMA neurons, responded to the first or second cue, reflecting what was shown or instructed; 3) in addition, pre-SMA neurons often reflected information combining the instructions in the first and second cues; 4) during the motor-set period, pre-SMA neurons preferentially reflected the location of the target, while SMA neurons mainly reflected which arm to use; and 5) when executing the movement, a majority of SMA neurons increased their activity and were largely selective for the use of either the ipsilateral or contralateral arm. In contrast, the activity of pre-SMA neurons tended to be suppressed. These findings point to the functional specialization of the two areas, with respect to receiving associative cues, information processing, motor behavior planning, and movement execution.

A Review of:
Williams, D. and C. Wavell. “Secondary School Teachers’ Conceptions of Student Information Literacy.” Journal of Librarianship and Information Science 39.4 (2007): 199-212.
Objective – To examine school teachers’ understanding of student information literacy and to look at the implications of the findings for developing information literacy in students.
Design – Qualitative research design (group discussions; verbal and written reflections).
Setting – Secondary schools in the United Kingdom.
Subjects – Secondary school teachers with various subject specializations.
Methods – The study initially involved 31 secondary school teachers; 24 from seven schools in Scotland and seven from two schools in England. Participant teachers were self-selecting.
The study took a phenomenographic approach. Teachers’ perceptions of their students’ abilities and their experiences and perceptions of their role in developing these abilities were examined through data collection in three stages.
During the first stage, group discussions established the teacher’s initial conceptions of information literacy. Participants also filled out an information task grid which, together with focus questions, ensured that discussions were kept in the realm of practice.
During the second stage of data collection, teachers observed and reflected on their students’ use of information in classroom activities. This was accompanied by informal site visits during which 26 of the participants were introduced to information literacy frameworks and definitions in order to contextualize reflections and discussions. Field notes were used to record these informal meetings. Six participants provided written feedback on reflections.
In the third and final stage, a summary of themes from the first two stages was sent to 23 of the participants prior to a second group discussion in order to try to stimulate further reflection.
Discussions were audio recorded and transcribed. The transcribed data were analyzed for the dimensions of variation of teachers’ conceptions of student information literacy and key elements associated with each category of description were determined.
Main Results – The data revealed six main conceptions of student information literacy among the teachers: “finding information,” “linguistic understanding,” “making meaning,” “skills,” “critical awareness of sources,” and “independent learning.” There was no particular hierarchy in their conceptualization, although independent learning seemed to be the ultimate goal. Teachers’ conceptions in the beginning of the study focused on the ability to find information, whereas after a period of reflection and further discussions, a broader and more complex understanding of information literacy appeared. Table 1 simplifies some of the data from the table in the article and shows conceptualizations as well as some of the contextual elements.
[Table 1]
Teachers felt that they had at least some control over the development of student ability to find information, develop skills, and critically appraise sources, even though these were not the highest learning priority outcomes. However, in the three areas of ability which the teachers regarded as of high learning priority (linguistic understanding, making meaning and independent learning), they felt that they had little control over the development of these abilities in the students.
Conclusion – The teachers’ conceptions of student information literacy overlapped with the ideas in existing models and frameworks for information literacy. However, some areas of information literacy were not addressed by the teachers, i.e., ethical issues in the use of information.
In the categories of description of high learning priority, the main reason for the low sense of control by the teachers seemed to be curricular pressures – “our content is prescribed and time allocated doing each of these things is prescribed so we have got limited room for maneuvering” (206).
The teachers tended to regard information literacy as process and skills-orientated, with little connection to learning. The authors note that other research also suggests that school librarians also have difficulty relating information finding to learning in specific subject disciplines. There is a clear gap here as the authors point out that “there is a danger that students will not understand the significance of learning with information for academic achievement or for independent learning” (209).
The authors suggest that the way forward for further development of information literacy in the classroom and library is through dialogue and that “librarian-teacher collaborations needs to be founded on shared understanding of the complex inter-relationship between information and learning” (209).

The reflections presented in this paper are focused on the problem of the conflict that takes places at the point of contact of two cultures during social interventions in the communities of foreigners residing in Poland. That is why three research perspectives have been presented. The first one is an analysis of the legal solutions pertaining to the acquiring of the status of a legal alien. The second aspect of the research is connected with the features of the institutional forms of social support for foreigners. In the further area the indicators of cultural differences of the investigated group have been discussed and it has been attempted to define the potential areas of conflict. The scientific exploration was aimed to specify to what extent cultural differences condition the process of the foreigners’ adaptation to a new socio-cultural reality. Furthermore, an attempt was made to answer the question whether the institutions intended to help foreigners can constitute an area of compromise. For this aim the differences between the levels of expectations represented by the administrative and social services and the foreigners themselves have been shown.

Profiles, Dynamics and Challenges of the Costa Rican Education is a program planned to be executed in a five-year period: 2014-2018. It is being executed within the framework of processes of research, teaching, university extension, and production of the Center for Research and Teaching in Education (CIDE in Spanish) of the National University of Costa Rica. This proposal considers the implementation of two sub-programs approaching two important areas: pedagogical innovation, and the production of materials and didactic technological resources. The first sub-program, Innovation, is oriented to highlighting and valuing the set of practices and successful experiences in the field of teaching, and assuming processes associated to it, such as the professional practice activities and the graduation final work proposals in different modalities. The second sub-program, Production of Didactic Technological Resources, supports the development of projects through consulting, design, and production of materials and didactic technological resources. This paper describes the methodological route proposed for the Production sub-program, along with some of the preliminary results achieved at the beginning of the implementation of the proposal. Finally, the article presents a series of reflections about the diverse dimensions that the program covers, its scope, impact, challenges, and constraints that must be assumed, as well as the different contributions in the four substantive areas on which the National University of Costa Rica bases its work: teaching, research, university extension and production.

We demonstrate that a workflow combining emergent time-lapse full-waveform inversion (FWI) and machine learning technologies can address the demand for faster time-lapse processing and analysis. During the first stage of our proposed workflow, we invert long-wavelength velocity changes using a tomographically enhanced version of multiparameter simultaneous reflection FWI with model-difference regularization. Short-wavelength changes are inverted during the second stage of the workflow by a specialized high-resolution image-difference tomography algorithm using a neural network. We discuss application areas for each component of the workflow and show the results of a West Africa case study.

This article investigates the motivations of African American and Latino girls ( N = 41) who navigate urban Southwest school districts during the day, but voluntarily attend a 2-year, culturally responsive multimedia program after school and into the summer. Understanding that girls from economically disadvantaged settings are indeed motivated to become technological innovators but often do not have access to the necessary resources to follow their interest, our program—entitled COMPUGIRLS—assumes a culturally responsive computing approach. This research examines particular features of the program (e.g., asset building, reflections, and connectedness) that attracted and retained the Latina (74%) and African American (19%) adolescent (ages 13-18) participants as well as to what extent the culturally relevant aspects of the curriculum assist with program retention and/or affect the students’ vision of themselves as a future technologist. An evaluative approach gathered 2 years of data from the participants. Field notes from observations and interviews were transcribed and reviewed to extract themes and areas of convergence. As a standpoint theory project, the authors center the girls’ voices as the primary data sources. Two primary themes emerged from the data to explain girls’ sustained motivation. The first was the challenge of learning and mastering the technology. For many, this also included disproving the stereotypes of their abilities by age, gender, and race. The second theme was being able to manipulate technology and learning experiences as a means of self-expression and research, particularly if the results could be used to inform their community and peers. The authors posit that much of the program impact was because of the culturally responsive practices (asset building, reflection, and connectedness) embedded within the curriculum. Implications for urban educators and program developers are considered.

To promote the holistic development of university students, a course entitled “Tomorrow's Leaders” was developed and offered at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Based on a case study approach, reflective journals of five outstanding students of the course are presented and analyzed (i.e., thick description), with several themes emerging from the reflection. First, the students liked the course, and they identified many positive attributes. Second, the students appreciated the instructors. Third, the students viewed that the course contributed to different aspects of their development. Fourth, some areas of improvements were proposed. In conjunction with other evaluation mechanisms, the present findings strongly suggest that the course is able to promote psychosocial competencies in university students taking this course.

AbstractBackgroundInternationally there is an increasing amount of peer-reviewed literature pertaining to disaster nursing. The literature includes personal anecdotes, reflections, and accounts of single case studies. Furthermore, issues such as the willingness of nurses to assist in disasters, the role of nurses in disasters, leadership, competencies, and educational preparedness for nurses have been the focus of the literature.AimThe aim of this research was to determine the international research priorities for disaster nursing.MethodThis research used a three-round Delphi technique. The first round used a face-to-face workshop to generate research statements with nursing members of the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WADEM). The second and third rounds included the ranking of statements on a 5-point Likert scale with nursing members of WADEM and the World Society of Disaster Nursing (WSDN). Statements that achieved a mean of four or greater were considered a priority and progressed.ResultsParticipants were from multiple countries. Research statements were generated in the areas of: education, training, and curriculum; psychosocial; strategy, relationship, and networking; and clinical practice. Psychosocial aspects of disaster nursing ranked the highest, with five statements appearing in the top ten research areas, followed by statements relating to: education, training, and curriculum; clinical practice; and finally, strategy, relationship, and networking.ConclusionsFuture disaster nursing research should focus on the area of psychosocial aspects of disaster nursing, in particular, both the psychosocial needs of a disaster-affected community and the psychosocial wellbeing of nurses who assist in disaster health activities.RanseJ,HuttonA,JeeawodyB,WilsonR.What are the research needs for the field of disaster nursing?

In our case studies, the success of subsalt exploration and development wells depended heavily on the characterization of highly heterogeneous lacustrine microbial carbonates. Acoustic and elastic inversions have proved to be a good proxy for identification of reservoir quality variation for exploration and development well placements. However, qualitative and quantitative usage of subsalt seismic amplitudes requires proper illumination and good signal-to-noise ratio. If properly imaged, mode-converted reflections and interbed multiples can be complementary to the P-wave image. But, in conventional P-wave-oriented imaging, both types of events cannot be imaged correctly. They appear as coherent noise and negatively impact the overall exploration and development project outcomes, especially in areas with poor illumination. This paper consists of two parts: first, we investigate the potential problems resulting from converted waves and interbed multiples in data from two different basins — the Gulf of Mexico and the Campos Basin in offshore Brazil — and show our approach to attenuate them to reveal the true structures. The second part focuses on advanced identification of interbed multiples in modeling and migration methods. To facilitate the various strategies to attenuate interbed multiples, “interpretation” of the various events plays a significant role. Vertical seismic profile (VSP) data are excellent for the purpose; however, these data are only available at well locations, if they are recorded. As a result of many years of technology advancement, pseudo VSP data can be constructed effectively from standard streamer survey data. Two methods are highlighted in this paper for building pseudo VSP data in a full two-way sense, based on a typical Brazil-type salt model: Marchenko-based processing and full-wavefield migration. Major subsalt plays in the Gulf of Mexico and emerging plays in Brazil should benefit significantly from elimination of these kinds of coherent noise.

The first part summarizes modern biblical and theological scholarship on the scriptural passage. The discussion highlights areas of convergence within different Christian traditions by examining the work of commentators writing from a variety of Christian backgrounds. The second part offers a treatment of the passage within the wider context of the epistle. Drawing from modern commentary, this part of the essay also elaborates on the relationship between faith and secular pursuits envisioned by the James text. Particular focus is directed toward concerns pertaining to the separation of faith from commercial affairs expressed in two recent Roman Catholic magisterial works, Benedict XVI's Caritas in Veritate and the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace document titled Vocation of the Business Leader: A Reflection. The third part extends the discussion in the second part by tracing some further parallels between Jas 4:13–17 and portions of Benedict XVI's Caritas in Veritate.

Abstract- Lighting plays an important role in space formation and supporting activities. The utilization of natural lighting for the sake of saving energy can serve that purpose at noon. In the office, good natural lighting will support effienct use of energy by not using artificial lighting. The particular kind of sunlight that feels comfortable for office use should be the non-direct one which is reflected first. Therefore, the natural lighting design should pay attention to this, from the exterior to the interior elements, especially the reflecting surface providing non-direct sunlight.As one of Jakarta’s satellite cities, Bekasi’s development keeps increasing. New housing areas appear and require marketing offices as working areas and for image branding. The marketing office located in Vida Bekasi in East Bekasi uses no artificial lighting at noon. This research discusses what kind of role reflecting surfaces play in achieving a dark and luminous effect for Vida Bekasi marketing office’s work-related activities, by focusing on office rooms A and B. Room A on the first floor and room B on the second floor are interesting topics for discussion as they share the reflecting surface element even though the effect differs.This research can be classified as evaluative-descriptive, employing both the qualitative and quantitative methods. The research started off with interviews conducted with both the architect and the site architect, in addition to literature study, magazine articles, brochures, and internet sources. The calculations were made with a ruler and lux meter, and simulation was conducted with the Velux Daylight Visualizer 3.The analysis concludes that the reflecting surface configuration ranging from form and color to texture is one of the possible strategies to optimize natural lighting in offices.Keywords : natural lighting, reflecting surface, Vida Bekasi marketing office

The classification of optical satellite-derived remote sensing images is an important satellite remote sensing application. Due to the wide variety of artificial features and complex ground situations in urban areas, the classification of complex urban features has always been a focus of and challenge in the field of remote sensing image classification. Given the limited information that can be obtained from traditional optical satellite-derived remote sensing data of a classification area, it is difficult to classify artificial features in detail at the pixel level. With the development of technologies, such as satellite platforms and sensors, the data types acquired by remote sensing satellites have evolved from static images to dynamic videos. Compared with traditional satellite-derived images, satellite-derived videos contain increased ground object reflection information, especially information obtained from different observation angles, and can thus provide more information for classifying complex urban features and improving the corresponding classification accuracies. In this paper, first, we analyze urban-area, ground feature characteristics and satellite-derived video remote sensing data. Second, according to these characteristics, we design a pixel-level classification method based on the application of machine learning techniques to video remote sensing data that represents complex, urban-area ground features. Last, we conduct experiments on real data. The test results show that applying the method designed in this paper to classify dynamic, satellite-derived video remote sensing data can improve the classification accuracy of complex features in urban areas compared with the classification results obtained using static, satellite-derived remote sensing image data at the same resolution.

Velocity analysis is an essential step in seismic reflection data processing. The conventional and fastest method to estimate how velocity changes with increasing depth is to calculate semblance coefficients. Traditional semblance has two problems: low time and velocity resolution and an inability to handle amplitude variation-with-offset (AVO) phenomenon. Although a method known as the AB semblance can arrive at peak velocities in the areas with an AVO anomaly, it has a lower velocity resolution than conventional semblance. We have developed a weighted AB semblance method that can handle both problems simultaneously. We have developed two new weighting functions to weight the AB semblance to enhance the resolution of velocity spectra in the time and velocity directions. In this way, we increase the time and velocity resolution while eliminating the AVO problem. The first weighting function is defined based on the ratio between the first and the second singular values of the time window to improve the resolution of velocity spectra in velocity direction. The second weighting function is based on the position of the seismic wavelet in the time window, thus enhancing the resolution of velocity spectra in time direction. We use synthetic and field data examples to show the superior performance of our approach over the traditional one.

This pilot study investigated factors influencing the application of connected health (CH) in Taiwanese remote areas. These factors cover issues of cost, infrastructure, technology, business sustainability, business model, collaboration, and communication. It aimed to explore the significance and to assess the feasibility of researching CH in Taiwan. A qualitative exploratory study was conducted by interviewing relevant stakeholders (n = 18). The majority were healthcare providers as most of them are the CH end users. Their feedback was essential in reflecting the effectiveness of CH products and services. Therefore, understanding their views is significant in the design of a successful and user-friendly interactive system. A theoretical framework on the introduction of innovations in healthcare was employed to guide data collection and thematic analysis. Additionally, stakeholders proposed strategies for enhancing the implementation of CH in remote areas. This pilot study also contributed to identifying future directions and information for conducting the multi-stage interviews for collecting the data more effectively. Although the results reveal that the study of CH is meaningful, there is an issue of business sustainability which is obscured by some barriers that need to be addressed. These barriers will be further investigated in the first-stage interview and second-stage interview in future research. The research findings also suggest that strategies and sustainability for CH implementation should be included from the planning phase to benefit all the stakeholders in the CH ecosystem.

The article implicitly addresses the Church as an institution and organization, while it directly and more explicitly presents those that make a part of Church hierarchy, bishops and presbyteries. To better present and understand the existence and mission of bishops and presbyters, it was necessary, at least briefly, to highlight the very nature of the Church. The author divides the article in three chapters. In the first chapter, he represents the Church that has had its roots in the Old Testament and found its fullness and foundations in the Person of Jesus Christ. She has been present in God’s plan since the Old Testament times when the prophets announced her in images. In the second chapter, the author discusses the office of bishops in the early Church. This part addresses what the Church Fathers said about bishops, and their role and place within the early Church, and how particular councils and synods have defined them. The author brings the Church Fathers’ personal reflections and understanding of the office of bishop as well as certain canons that have emerged as the fruit of bishop’s collegiality and unity. The third chapter talks about presbyters. The author first presents the role of presbyter in the early Church, and then indicates the developmental path from terminology itself to the area of action at particular times in the life of the Church. The presbyter is put in a co-relationship with the bishop, he is dependent on him, but in time, due to new circumstances, he has gained a certain autonomy within the community. The author also emphasizes the importance of formation and education of church officials in areas of theology and morals.

The article studies the different stages of formation and development of Bashkir funeral rites in the Ural-Volga region of the Finno-Ugric-Turkic community. The first stage (2000 BC - the first half of the first millennium AD) is characterized by the formation of the Finno-Ugric ethnic base of the population in the region, which maintained ties with neighboring Eastern regions and eventually expanded contacts with southern regions, including the areas of ancient Bashkir tribes. The author discusses examples reflecting the ethnic and cultural ties of Bashkir ancestors to the peoples of Siberia, the similarities of their mythological concepts, such as the ways of passing through cremation, burial ceremonies, ground-based burial and burial mounds, which is supported by the archaeological material. The second stage (early Bulgar, the period of Volga-Bulgaria and the Kazan Khaganate) is considered a Finno-Ugric-Turkic ethnocultural community. In different geographical areas Bashkir, Udmurt and Mari peoples used the same type of burial structures (log, wooden). In the third stage (the second half of the 16 century - beginning of the 20 century) the community of the peoples in question strengthened through the process of Islamization, Turkification, and the shift to a Bashkir ethnic identity of the Finno-Ugric population. In the fourth stage (Soviet and post-Soviet era), the momentum of the previous tendencies continued. The influence of Turkic neighbors reflected in the funeral rites of the "pagans" (orienting the faces of the buried to the East, grave niches). At the same time, Bashkirs maintained pre-Islamic customs, or rejected Sharia norms for practical reasons (grave niches were not built because the soil was too loose). The Soviet period also led to the emergence of a common layer of culture.

Because of its computational efficiency, prestack Kirchhoff depth migration is currently the method of choice in both 2-D and 3-D imaging of seismic data. The most algorithmically complex component of the Kirchhoff family of algorithms is the calculation and manipulation of accurate traveltime tables for each source and receiver point. Once calculated, we sum the seismic energy over all possible ray paths, allowing us to accurately image both specular and nonspecular scattered energy. Any seismic events that fall within the velocity passband, including reflected and diffracted signal, mode conversions, multiples, head waves, and aliases of surface waves, are imaged in depth. The transformation of time gathers to depth gathers can be quite complicated and nonintuitive to all but the seasoned imaging expert. In particular, easily recognized head‐wave events on common‐shot gathers are often difficult to differentiate from undermigrated coherent reflections on common‐reflection‐point depth gathers. In contrast, subsalt multiples that have propagated along complex ray paths are often easily recognized on common‐offset depth gathers but are indistinguishable from the distorted primaries on the input common‐shot or common‐midpoint time gathers. In a related area, seismic reflection traveltime tomography is currently the workhorse for 2-D and an active area of research and development for 3-D migration‐driven velocity analysis. The objective function for this “velocity inversion” problem is to either minimize the temporal difference between picked and modeled time picks, or to maximize the similarity between, or flatness of, common‐reflection‐point depth picks. Once picked and associated with the correct reflector, time picks never need to be modified during the velocity‐model updating steps that ultimately lead to a feasible solution. In practice, such time picks are nearly impossible to make in those structurally complex areas that justify the use of prestack depth migration. Instead, we almost always use the second objective function and pick reflector events in depth, where we can use our geologic insight to differentiate between signal and noise and where the difficulty of associating a picked event with the velocity/depth model horizon completely disappears. The major drawback of picking in depth is that these events need to be repicked each time any part of the overlying velocity/depth model has been updated. We show that by applying Fermat’s principle, and by reusing the same traveltime tables used in seismic prestack Kirchhoff depth imaging, we can map interpreted events on the depth gathers to corresponding interpreted events on the original time gathers. This technique, first introduced by J. van Trier in 1990, is considerably more stable and, because we reuse the already computed migration traveltime tables, more economic than two‐point ray‐trace methods. In our first application of coherent noise suppression, we show how we can relate imaging artifacts seen on the depth image to their causative coherent noise on the original time gathers. Once identified, these noise events can be safely suppressed using conventional filtering techniques. In our second application of reflection tomography, we show how we can pick partially focused reflectors in depth, and map them back to time, undoing the effect of the incorrect velocity/depth model used in prestack Kirchhoff depth migration such that the events never need to be repicked during subsequent velocity model updates.
