In this paper we seek to represent the conceptual world of Information Technology professionals with respect to ethics and propose that the most effective means of impacting their practice rests in influencing professionals' conceptual world. As such, we present a Model of Ethical IT and argue, in the light of the educational Variation Theory, that for IT professionals to be enabled to become m...

When the separation between the incoherent point sources is decreased, in the limit a decision whether the image distribution arises from one or two points or a short bar rests, in the absence of prior information, on the detection of an indentation. That, in essence, is the concept of resolution.

‘‘It is not the case,’’ Alasdair MacIntyre once wrote, ‘‘that men first stopped believing in God and in the authority of the Church, and then subsequently started behaving differently. It seems clear that men first of all lost any overall social agreement as to the right ways to live together, and so ceased to be able to make sense of any claims to moral authority.’’1 Religious faith and moral ...

Abstract Conventional model-based design methods are often limited in their effectiveness by model-plant discrepancy. A solution to this problem is proposed work enhance the robustness of motion planning for systems affected parametric uncertainty. The method exploits a variational formulation form two-point boundary value (TPBVP) which achieved as constraint enforced at two boundaries. formula...

lumbar puncture (lp) is a procedure for obtaining spinal fluid from spinal meningeal spaces this can be done as a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure which can result in to a typical positional headache named as post lumbar puncture headache .this can cause a lot of discomforts for patients and makes fear from the procedure. this study designed to evaluate the effect of resting position after l...

It is commonly asserted that the standard wage equation derived from bargaining theory cannot be identified. Here, it is argued that the case for this alleged failure rests on an outmoded definition of identification. Newer concepts based on non-stationarities, cointegration and reduced rank are appropriate. An empirical example applying these concepts shows that the standard model can be deriv...

The method of differential quadrature is employed to analyze the free vibration of a cracked cantilever beam resting on elastic foundation. The beam is made of a functionally graded material and rests on a Winkler-Pasternak foundation. The crack action is simulated by a line spring model. Also, the differential quadrature method with a geometric mapping are applied to study the free vibration o...

In the present article, we will reflect on some didactic challenges and possibilities that emerge when teaching in interdisciplinary settings, and we will use and discuss the journey as a metaphor for learning. We argue that teaching in interdisciplinary studies rests on movements between different understandings, and that it gives ample opportunities for beneficial learning processes. This doe...
