In recent years Norway and Switzerland have introduced local training agencies (TAs), intermediary organisations consisting of firms involved in apprentice training. both countries, the starting point for formation TA was roughly similar: enabling more to participate Despite similar tasks, TAs developed differently two countries. evolved as general-purpose tools governance while they are restri...

The author juxtaposes two views of morality and the man they imply: one represented by behaviourist existentialist approaches in theories other proposed Iris Murdoch, who stresses ability to see recognise morally significant characteristics. In Murdoch’s opinion, a person’s moral development consists change quality consciousness as result activity attention exploring reality. After contrasting ...

A cross-sectional survey design was adopted to validate the Burnout Questionnaire (BQ) on Nigerian automobile apprentice artisan. multistage sampling technique used purposively select 150 (mean age ± SD 21.4±3.6). total of male participants were drawn from selected communities in Ede metropolis Osun State, Southwestern Nigeria. The responded Questionnaire, and Mashlash Inventory (MBI). Internal...

Large, complex software systems are hard to learn and navigate. In an ideal environment, documentation can help in this process. However the latter is usually out of date and hard to use. Others have proposed using large knowledge bases to model software systems, however these are very expensive to build and may be as unmaintainable as the code. In this paper, we propose instead to use a highly...

This paper proposes a new algorithm for acquisition of preference predicates by a learning apprentice, termed Compositional Instance-Based Learning (CIBL), that permits multiple instances of a preference predicate to be composed, directly exploiting the transitivity of preference predicates. In an empirical evaluation, CIBL was consistently more accurate than a I-NN instance-based learning stra...

This paper studies human-to-human interaction in an attempt to shed some light on the kinds of human-to-machine interaction that will be necessary for intelligent robot learning of assembly tasks. Experiments were performed in which an "expert" guided an "apprentice" through a complex assembly task using spoken language but no visual communication. An analysis of the dialog reveals that certain...
