Implications Of Mbti In Software Engineering Education, Luiz Fernando Capretz
Implications Of Mbti In Software Engineering Education, Luiz Fernando Capretz
Electrical and Computer Engineering Publications
A number of approaches exist to aid the understanding of individual differences and their effects on teaching and learning. Educators have been using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to understand differences in learning styles and to develop teaching methods that cater for the various personality styles. Inspired by the MBTI, we developed a range of practices for effective teaching and learning in a software engineering course. Our aim is to reach every student, but in different ways, by devising various teaching approaches.
Ethnicity And Infant Mortality In Sub-Saharan Africa: The Case Of Ghana, Stephen Obeng Gyimah
Ethnicity And Infant Mortality In Sub-Saharan Africa: The Case Of Ghana, Stephen Obeng Gyimah
PSC Discussion Papers Series
This study is premised on the hypothesis that ethnic specific socio-cultural practices such as dietary taboos and food avoidances on mothers and infants, as well as perceptions of disease aetiology and treatment patterns may be salient to infant mortality differentials in Ghana. To inform policy the paper explores if there are significant ethnic differences in the risk of infant death, and whether such differences are due to intrinsic cultural norms or socio-economic disparities. Using data on 3298 recent births from the 1998 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey, the bivariate results indicated significant ethnic differences. Relative to Asante children, the risk …
Assault-Related Admissions To Hospital In Central Australia, Ged F. Williams, Wendy P. Chaboyer, Philip J. Schluter
Assault-Related Admissions To Hospital In Central Australia, Ged F. Williams, Wendy P. Chaboyer, Philip J. Schluter
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Objective: To determine the number of assault-related admissions to hospital in the Central Australia region of the Northern Territory over a six-year period. Design and setting: Retrospective analysis of all patients admitted to Alice Springs Hospital (ASH) and Tennant Creek Hospital (TCH) from July 1995 to June 2001, where the primary cause of injury was “assault”. Main outcome measures: Frequency of assault-related admission to hospital; demographic characteristics of the victims. Results: In the six years, there were 2449 assault-related admissions to ASH and 545 to TCH. Adults aged 25–34 years were most frequently hospitalised for assault, in a proportion greater …

Endocytic Intermediates Involved With The Intracellular Trafficking Of A Fluorescent Cellular Prion Protein, Ac Magalhaes, Ja Silva, Vr Martins, Vf Prado, Ssg Ferguson, Mv Gomez, Rr Brentani, Mam Prado
Anatomy and Cell Biology Publications
We have investigated the intracellular traffic of PrPc, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein implicated in spongiform encephalopathies. A fluorescent functional green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged version of PrPc is found at the cell surface and in intracellular compartments in SN56 cells. Confocal microscopy and organelle-specific markers suggest that the protein is found in both the Golgi and the recycling endosomal compartment. Perturbation of endocytosis with a dynamin I-K44A dominant-negative mutant altered the steady-state distribution of the GFP-PrPc, leading to the accumulation of fluorescence in unfissioned endocytic intermediates. These pre-endocytic intermediates did not seem to accumulate GFP-GPI, a minimum GPI-anchored protein, suggesting that …

The Gamma-Subunit Of The Na-K-Atpase As A Potential Regulator Of Apical And Basolateral Na+-Pump Isozymes During Development Of Bovine Pre-Attachment Embryos., L C Barcroft, S E Gill, A J Watson
Obstetrics & Gynaecology Publications
Expression and activity of the Na-K-ATPase within the basolateral membrane domains of the trophectoderm epithelium provide the driving force for accumulation of Na(+) and Cl(-) across the nascent epithelium, mediating fluid movement into the forming blastocoel. Within the trophectoderm of the bovine blastocyst, multiple isozymes of the Na-K-ATPase are expressed. Immunolocalization has demonstrated that the alpha1-isozyme localizes within the basolateral membrane, whereas the alpha 3-isozyme localizes to the apical cell margins. Gene-specific RT-PCR and wholemount indirect immunofluorescence confocal laser scanning microscopy were used to examine expression of the Na-K-ATPase gamma-subunit (a regulatory subunit of the Na-K-ATPase) throughout development of bovine …
Fertility Response To Childhood Mortality In Sub-Saharan With Emphasis On Ghana And Kenya, Stephen Obeng-Manu Gyimah
Fertility Response To Childhood Mortality In Sub-Saharan With Emphasis On Ghana And Kenya, Stephen Obeng-Manu Gyimah
PSC Discussion Papers Series
Notwithstanding the extensive social scientific research, there are still unanswered questions regarding the persistence of high fertility in sub-Saharan Africa. Although fertility behaviour depends on multiplicity of factors, childhood mortality is regarded as an important determinant.However, while the theoretical pathways through which infant and child mortality affect fertility are well understood, the empirical evidence has been inconsistent. Thus, the unsettled nature of the link between childhood mortality and fertility was a major motivation for this study. Methodologically, the paper examines the usefulness of frailty models in exploring the childhood mortality-fertility relationships using DHS data from Ghana and Kenya. Invariably, women …
Lagged Effect Of Childhood Mortality On Reproductive Behavior In Ghana And Kenya, Stephen Obeng-Manu Gyimah
Lagged Effect Of Childhood Mortality On Reproductive Behavior In Ghana And Kenya, Stephen Obeng-Manu Gyimah
PSC Discussion Papers Series
This paper goes beyond the physiological impact of infant deaths on fertility by examining whether such deaths elicit an explicit, conscious and intentional fertility response in sub-Saharan Africa. The major research questions are: what are the long term implications of childhood mortality on reproductive behavior? Does the death of the first child, for instance, affect the risk of a higher order birth? These questions are examined using DHS data from Ghana and Kenya. At each parity, women with childhood mortality experience were found to have a higher number of subsequent than those without. Additionally, multivariate results suggest that infant deaths …
Effects Of Community And Family Characteristics On Early Life Transitions Of Canadian Youth, Zenaida R. Ravanera, Rajulton Fernando, Thomas K. Burch
Effects Of Community And Family Characteristics On Early Life Transitions Of Canadian Youth, Zenaida R. Ravanera, Rajulton Fernando, Thomas K. Burch
PSC Discussion Papers Series
This paper looks at the impact of community and family characteristics on the timing of early life transitions of Canadians born in 1971-75. Effects on the timing of school completion, start of regular work, and home-leaving are examined using a data set that merged the 1995 General Social Survey of the Family with data derived from the enumeration areas of the 1996 Census. Event history techniques of analysis are used to examine timing and trajectories of transition and how they are affected by families and communities. The results show that family and community-level characteristics indicative of availability of material resources, …
The Dynamics Of Spacing And Timing Of Births In Ghana, Stephen Obeng-Manu Gyimah
The Dynamics Of Spacing And Timing Of Births In Ghana, Stephen Obeng-Manu Gyimah
PSC Discussion Papers Series
Studying the dynamics of timing and spacing of births is important for several reasons including an understanding of completed family size as well as maternal and child mortality differentials. Using the 1998 DHS data, this paper examines whether there are intrinsic socio-cultural factors that affect the duration of birth intervals in Ghana. The results suggest that while most socio-cultural differences are mediated through socio-economic and demographic factors, there is the persistence of ethnic-specific norms and practices that affect the timing of births. At all durations, Ewes and Mole- Dagbanis were consistently found to have longer intervals between successive births than …

The Preparatory Commission For The International Criminal Court, Valerie Oosterveld
Law Publications
As it becomes increasingly clear that the International Criminal Court will be set up in the near future, it is important to reflect on the work of the Preparatory Commission for the International Criminal Court. When the Rome Statute was being negotiated, it became very clear that additional documents would be necessary in order to create a fully functioning ICC. At the time, eight such documents were identified and included in Resolution F of the Final Act of the Rome Diplomatic conference. As work on these documents nears completion, States have begun to consider the practicalities of setting up the …

Diagnostic And Therapeutic Procedures Among Australian Hospital Patients Identified As Indigenous, Joan Cunningham
Diagnostic And Therapeutic Procedures Among Australian Hospital Patients Identified As Indigenous, Joan Cunningham
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
Objectives: To determine whether hospital patients identified as Indigenous are less likely than other inpatients to have a principal procedure recorded, and the extent to which any disparity in procedure use can be explained by differences in patient, episode and hospital characteristics. Design: Retrospective analysis of routinely collected administrative data from the National Hospital Morbidity Database (NHMD). Setting: Australian public and private hospitals. Patients: All patients included in the NHMD whose episode type was recorded as acute and whose separation occurred between 1 July 1997 and 30 June 1998. Patients admitted for routine dialysis treatment were excluded. Main outcome measure: …
The Contextual Approach In Health Research: Two Empirical Studies, Anita Kothari
The Contextual Approach In Health Research: Two Empirical Studies, Anita Kothari
Health Studies Publications
Researchers are being encouraged to consider contextual influences on health-related outcomes. To support this perspective, two context-sensitive studies were conducted. The first study explored the utilization of a research report by Ontario public health units, and examined whether utilization differed by involvement in the research process. Research utilization was conceptualized as a three stage process (reading, information processing and application). Using a case study design, results from three "involved" public health units and three "uninvolved" units demonstrated that inclusion in the research process led to a greater understanding of the analysis and increased the value associated with the report. Involvement …

Time Is Of The Essence: Social Theory Of Time And Its Implications For Lis Research, Elizabeth Davies, Pamela J. Mckenzie
Time Is Of The Essence: Social Theory Of Time And Its Implications For Lis Research, Elizabeth Davies, Pamela J. Mckenzie
FIMS Presentations
Abstract: “Time,” like “information,” is a concept that has received a great deal of attention in some disciplines and is ignored or taken for granted in others. Traditional studies of information seeking have focussed on spatial issues – primarily, locating/ location of sources – to the neglect of temporal issues. This paper proposes that the social constructivist theoretical paradigm recently adopted by LIS researchers demands recognition of social time; that is, not absolute time, but another type of meaning constructed between people through their interactions. Attending to social concepts of time can have important implications for research into organizational and …
Seven Aboriginal Marriage Systems And Their Correlates, Ian Keen
Seven Aboriginal Marriage Systems And Their Correlates, Ian Keen
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
This paper outlines patterns of kin classi® cation and marriage in seven regions of Australia. It considers the implications of differences in those patterns for such features of economy and society as levels of polygyny, the structure and dynamics of country groups, the form of exchange networks and, very brie ̄ y, cosmologies and the roles of religious leaders. The analysis demonstrates certain associations between modes of kin classi® cation and organisational forms such as moieties. Finally, the paper draws conclusions about the environmental and institutional conditions for differences in `levels’ of polygynous marriage, as well as their political and …

Substance Abuse Among Urban Aboriginals, Kahá:Wi J. Jacobs, Kathryn J. Gill
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
This paper reports findings of a study of mental health among urban Aboriginal peoples. Both qualitative and quantitative techniques were used to explore the relationship between substance abuse and physical/sexual abuse in a sample of Aboriginal peoples living in an urban community. Open-ended interviews were conducted in a sample of 30 Aboriginals that included Aboriginal social service providers (from health, legal and family services). Forty percent of the sample had been abused and many experienced social, psychological and emotional prob- lems associated with abusive experiences. Content analysis of the interviews revealed common themes in violence discourse including loss of identity …
