I report on special features of a course on statistics and probabilities at my university, where future teachers of mathematics in primary school are instructed on en-active representations of statistical situations and on their analogue modelling. I also report on empirical work with future mathematics teachers of primary school in Baden Württemberg who have been instructed to introduce simple...

The basic idea of DrawA Secret technique is that a user is asked to draw a simple picture on a 2D grid. The coordinates of the grid, occupied by the picture are stored in the order of the drawing. During authentication, the user is asked to re-draw the picture. If the drawing touches the same grids in the same sequence, then the user is authenticated. But sometimes user fails to recall his/her ...

attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd) is the most common behavioral problem during childhood and in school-aged children. various projection drawings have been designed for assessing children's personality and psychological disorders including the tests of draw a person (dap) and draw a family (daf). we aimed to compare the differences between typically developing children and childre...

draw-a-man test (dam) as projection of a person’s inner world can provide information about people interests, anxieties, defenses and inhibitions. the aim of this study was to investigate indicators of aggression in dam test in primary male school students. materials and methods: in this explanatory study 57 male student in third grade of a primary school of khorramabad city were selected by co...

In this study, we investigated how effectively a Draw-a-Story drawing test can predict the perceived stress, military life adjustment, and resilience of soldiers. A total 276 conscripted male soldiers participated in study. The research tools included Perceived Stress Scale, Military Life Adjustment Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (Korean version), test. results correlation regression analyses...

Einen integralen Bestandteil der Kostenanalyse in Projekten bildet die Schätzung der Aufwände. Hierfür kommen – unabhängig vom gewählten Projektvorgehensmodell – etablierte Methoden zum Einsatz, z.B. Function Point Analyse oder die Expertenschätzung 1 . Üblicherweise wird das Projektcontrolling gegen diese Aufwände erfolgen [ELT14-1]. Bezogen auf agile Projekte stellt sich die Frage, welchen Me...

Translation of a literary text is a difficult task, for understanding literature requires knowledge of various linguistic levels of a literary text in addition to strategies and methods of translation. To this should still be added cognitive-based translation training which helps practitioners preserve the aesthetic aspects of a literary text. Focusing on short story as a genre with both ...

Motivated by the Hankel determinant evaluation of moment sequences, we study a kind of Pfaffian analogue evaluation. We prove an LU -decomposition analogue for skew-symmetric matrices, called Pfaffian decomposition. We then apply this formula to evaluate Pfaffians related to some moment sequences of classical orthogonal polynomials. In particular we obtain a product formula for a kind of q-Cata...

The ‘radioactive dice’ experiment is a commonly used classroom analogue to model the decay of radioactive nuclei. However, the value of the half-life obtained from this experiment differs significantly from that calculated for real nuclei decaying exponentially with the same decay constant. This article attempts to explain the discrepancy and suggests modifications to the experiment to minimize...
