The Zone of Proximal Development is an appealing and persuasive idea for those concerned with how best to help learners learn. In essence the ZPD requires collaboration or assistance for a learner from another more able partner. The need for this more able learning partner arises from the belief that the activities which form a part of the child’s education must be beyond the range of her indep...

Conclusion The compliance with hand hygiene technique requires more focus and training: the thumb and the fingertips are frequently not adequately in contact with alcohol. Several techniques have been proposed, but basic training should ensure that the fingertips and the thumb are not missed during the alcoholic rub-in. Disclosure of interest A.

because of environmental sensitivity of the caspian sea, any subsea oil spills and blowouts can inflict destructive impacts on marine environment and cause catastrophic damage in the area. employing mathematical simulation is one of the easiest and most effective prediction tools for understanding the oil spill behavior under various environmental forces. in this regard, mike3d simulation packa...

In previous work, I have developed an information theoretic complexity measure of networks. When applied to several real world food webs, there is a distinct difference in complexity between the real food web, and randomised control networks obtained by shuffling the network links. One hypothesis is that this complexity surplus represents information captured by the evolutionary process that ge...

In order to build learning systems that care we need to increase our understanding of the affective and motivational dimensions of learning. This will allow us to develop a model of our learners which extends beyond their behaviours to the feelings and motivations which underlie those behaviours. In this paper we focus on children’s (10 yrs) help-seeking behaviour when using an interactive lear...
