problem epidemiologically (through careful investigation of trends in mortality and morbidity) before formulating a practical solution or policy. It was a method which, Eyler plausibly argues, led to socially sensitive and constructive ideas and policies which, if pursued in the longer term at national level might have led to earlier remedial action on child health and maternal mortality during...

Burmese colonial history suggests that a legal system cannot operate independently from the felt needs of the people who are supposed to obey the law. Despite a monopoly of force for many decades, the British failed to create a sustainable legal system in Burma. Colonial status shifted Burma’s economic role from subsistence agriculture to the generation of large-scale exports. By undermining th...

(2008). Teachers' perspectives on the use of pedometers as instructional technology in physical education: A cautionary tale.

phase is a key determinant of timing and is required for cycle 14 MBT events [7]. In the early, fast S phases, all of the DNA sequences replicate at the same time without exhibiting the typical eukaryotic subdivision in which euchromatin replicates early and heterochromatin replicates late. As the S phase incrementally increases in duration during cycles 12 and 13, there is a slight delay in th...

Several governments are in the process of implementing e-procurement. In the process they face several challenges. The diffusion of e-procurement in the Danish public sector is researched using case study research methodology to study the challenges faced. The results of the study are applied in this paper for explaining some of the challenges faced using the legacy centralization versus decent...

A 2009 observational study reported that private insurance status is associated with decreased mortality risk compared to no insurance. Employing the same statistical model but with more recent data, we observe a weaker and statistically insignificant relationship. However, Medicaid coverage is associated with increased mortality risk; the adjusted hazard ratio for Medicaid compared to no insur...

In this paper we consider uncountable classes recognizable by ω-automata and investigate suitable learning paradigms for them. In particular, the counterparts of explanatory, vacillatory and behaviourally correct learning are introduced for this setting. Here the learner reads in parallel the data of a text for a language L from the class plus an ω-index α and outputs a sequence of ω-automata s...

An index for an r.e. class of languages (by definition) generates a sequence of grammars defining the class. An index for an indexed family of recursive languages (by definition) generates a sequence of decision procedures defining the family. F. Stephan’s model of noisy data is employed, in which, roughly, correct data crops up infinitely often, and incorrect data only finitely often. In a com...

This article explores Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as an “object of care” for use in examining the relationship between creativity and responsibility in the sciences and beyond. Through three short sketches from different disciplinary lenses—literature, science and technology studies, and feminist studies—readers get a sense of the different ways scholars might consider Shelley’s text as an obje...
