Exploration of Factors Promoting and Inhibiting Fast Food Consumption among Adolescents
Introduction: In recent years, fast food consumption has increased among adolescents and it has become a concern, a health threat, and a major health problem. There are few studies and evidences about factors promoting and inhibiting the consumption of fast food. This study aimed to identify factors promoting or inhibiting the consumption of fast food among adolescents. Method: This qualitative...
متن کاملEngaged by Design: Using Simulations to Promote Active Learning
We test our hypothesis that student in-class Internet actions reflect their engagement levels. We predict that an engaging learning environment will result in students performing a higher number of on-task Internet activities. To test our hypothesis, we compare student behaviors during two types of instructional episodes. Students participate in either a traditional, lecture-based lesson or an ...
متن کاملNeurons In Action: Computer Simulations with NeuroLab
is a co-author of NEURON, a powerful simulation environment that models neurons based on the equations that describe their behavior. Using NEURON, Moore and Stuart created the seventeen tutorials that make up Neurons in Action. These tutorials vary in their level of complexity and can be used to teach neurophysiology to students at the undergraduate through graduate level. The first tutorial, T...
متن کاملVisualizing Katrina - Merging Computer Simulations with Observations
Hurricane Katrina has had a devastating impact on the US Gulf Coast, and her effects will be felt for many years. Forecasts of such events, coupled with timely response, can greatly reduce casualties and save billions of dollars. We show how visualizations from storm surge and atmospheric simulations, was used to predict how strong, where, and when flooding would occur in the hours leading up t...
متن کاملTeaching Elementary Inference with Computer-based Simulations
The topics in most introductory statistics courses can be split into two categories: exploratory and confirmatory data analysis. Teachers usually introduce each data structure with graphical and tabular methods for examining and presenting a batch of such data (Exploratory Data Analysis). These EDA topics are followed by the idea that batches of values can be considered to be random samples fro...
