This study analyze the effect and effectiveness of apprenticeship quota rule in hiring young apprentices Brazil. To this end, we used longitudinal data from Annual Social Information List (RAIS), considering period 2006 to 2019, estimated causal effects Learning Law using fuzzy sharp Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD). It was found that percentage employers comply with Apprenticeship ranged ...

This article describes a longitudinal study of vocational tourism students’ perceptions of the use of smartphones before and after being given the devices. Data includes interviews and online learning diary data from a period of about 18 months (N=14). By providing smartphones for these extremely mobile students, the researchers mainly aspired to promote possibilities to reflect their learning ...

In visual category recognition there is often a trade-off between fast and powerful classifiers. Complex models often have superior performance to simple ones but are computationally too expensive for many applications. At the same time the performance of simple classifiers is not necessarily limited only by their flexibility but also by the amount of labelled data available for training. We pr...

Many nurse executives and managers have had to learn financial management skills, including planning, controlling, implementing, and analyzing departmental budgets, on the job. In today's healthcare environment, organizations are becoming aware of the value of hiring nurse executives who can speak the financial language and employ financial skills to operate their areas. As more and more nurses...

Coordinating agents to complete a set of tasks with intercoupled temporal and resource constraints is computationally challenging, yet human domain experts can solve these difficult scheduling problems using paradigms learned through years of apprenticeship. A process for manually codifying this domain knowledge within a computational framework is necessary to scale beyond the “singleexpert, si...

An apprenticeship-learning-based technique is used as a hyperheuristic to generate heuristics for an online combinatorial problem. It observes and learns from the actions of a known-expert heuristic on small instances, but has the advantage of producing a general heuristic that works well on other larger instances. Specifically, we generate heuristic policies for online bin packing problem by u...
