Photovoice is a participatory action research method which aims to enable students to create compelling visual representations and identify the local social issues.  This paper attempted to investigate the impact of photovoice as an innovative method on the levels of reflection manifested in EFL learners' narratives. To this end, a convenience sample of 48 Iranian intermediate EFL learn...

Based on the INUS theory of causality, search target qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is to find all minimally sufficient conditions for outcome’s occurrence in a data set, where condition’s sufficiency, necessity components, and completeness solution are three core requirements. However, QCA’s current top-down approach, which relies truth table Boolean minimization, cannot meet main obje...

Uji Research Center Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics Kyoto University, Uji 611, Japan Abstract An algebraic approach to integrable quantum field theory with a boundary (a half line) is presented and interesting algebraic equations, Reflection equations (RE) and Reflection Bootstrap equations (RBE) are discussed. The Reflection equations are a consistent generalisation of Yang-Baxter equ...

although marianna fotaki’s editorial is helpful and challenging by looking at both the professional and institutional requirements for reinstalling compassion in order to aim for good quality healthcare, the causes that hinder this development remain unexamined. in this commentary, 3 causes are discussed; the boundary between the moral and the political; neoliberalism; and the underdevelopment ...

In the last few years the interest in reflection has grown and many modern programming languages/environments (e.g., Java and .NET) have provided the programmer with reflective mechanisms, i.e., with the ability of dynamically looking into (introspect) the structure of the code from the code itself. In spite of its evident usefulness, reflection has many detractors, who claim that it is too ine...

There has been much reflection on the need for a new understanding of global health and the urgency of a paradigm shift to address global health issues. A crucial question is whether this is still possible in current modes of global governance based on capitalist values. Four reflections are provided. (1) Ecological–centered values must become central in any future global health framework. (2) ...

It’s hard to believe that it’s already 2005. Traditionally, a new year’s arrival brings reflections on the previous year. Such reflection can often result in positive changes and improvements in our lives. Software reflection, a technique or approach that makes software self-aware, is similar to human reflection, although not as subjective or complicated. Proper use of software reflection can p...

Behavioral reflection is well-known approach enabling exhaustive querying of program state (introspection) as well as controlling its execution (intercession). It is hence an adequate foundation for runtime inspection. Partial behavioral reflection aims at making behavioral reflection more applicable by providing high levels of selectivity and configurability. We first outline the main features...
