objectives: the development of social skills, especially skills in relating to peers, is an important capacity that provides the foundations for lifelong success. some children with disabilities need to learn social skills more directly. the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of social skills training on socialization skills development in children with down syndrome. methods: t...

operating parameters and membrane characteristics strongly affect the performance of electrodialysis reversal systems. the most impactful factors are applied voltage, flow rate, temperature, initial feed composition, and ion exchange membrane characteristics; the ph of the feed also has an effect, although to a lesser extent. to determine more precisely how all of these factors impact performan...

Operational objective number 11 of the Fundamental Reform Document of Education, Act 4, calls for the establishment of a system of competency evaluation of teachers comprised of moral, revolutionary, and professional beliefs and consistent with the goals and foundations of the document. In order to identify these competencies and their constituents, reliable library sources were initially revie...

When reasoning on formulas involving large-size inductively defined relations, such as the semantics of a real programming language, many steps require the inversion of a hypothesis. The built-in “inversion” tactic of Coq can then be used, but it suffers from severe controllability, maintenance and efficiency issues, which makes it unusable in practice in large applications. To circumvent this ...

The application of Hilberman's theorem to construct a simple proof of a theorem on semi-indefinite networks is discussed.

The Operational Transformation (OT) approach, used in many collaborative editors, allows a group of users to concurrently update replicas of a shared object and exchange their updates in any order. The basic idea of this approach is to transform any received update operation before its execution on a replica of the object. This transformation aims to ensure the convergence of the different repl...

Small-step semantics and big-step semantics are two styles for operationally defining the meaning of programming languages. Small-step semantics are given as a relation between program configurations, relation which denotes one computational step; big-step semantics are given as a relation directly associating to each program configuration the corresponding final configuration. Small-step seman...

This paper reviews historic and current definitions of skill as a concept, well frameworks that have been applied to analyse levels skills development across the academic professional spectrum. The author proposes 6-level chart based on “can-do descriptors” approach by CEFR, also known ability assessment approach, for further discussion, development, application. proposed is six levels. These a...
