My mother’s love of Tootsie Rolls was the only fact I could grasp after her sudden passing. wanted to share this and other memories through a eulogy that whimsical, far-ranging, entertaining, but struggled write one. struggles reminded me writing challenges, such as my recent dissertation proposal, although there partly guided by arts-informed research methodology framework. Gradually, found so...

Yet, studies have reported that traits such as altruism and empathy tend to decline throughout medical school training. To foster medical student self-awareness and mindfulness, which may improve their emotional intelligence (EI), Georgetown University School of Medicine (GUSOM) offe...

Accordingly, this study analyses processes outcomes a bilingual songwriting workshop that was carried out 2022 University Strasbourg with 18 student teachers, collabora...

We investigate the foundations of Choreographic Programming, a paradigm for writing concurrent programs that are deadlock free by construction, guided by the notion of computation. We start by introducing Minimal Choreographies (MC), a language that includes only the essential primitives of the paradigm. MC is minimal wrt Turing completeness: it implements all computable functions, and restrict...

We think letter of Dr Saver et al raises 3 important questions. First, what is the evidence required for a class III no benefit classification? Second, does the current evidence for the effectiveness of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure devices meet the criterion for class III no benefit. Third, what are the appropriate criteria for assigning a level of evidence (LOE) A rating for the class II...

Automated feedback on writing may be a useful complement to teacher comments in the process of learning a foreign language. This paper presents a self-assessment and tutoring system which combines an holistic score with detection and correction of frequent errors and furthermore provides a qualitative assessment of each individual sentence, thus making the language learner aware of potentially ...

In the absence of suitable deposition processes, the fabrication of graded-index chalcogenide waveguides or fibers remains an outstanding challenge. Here, by exploiting the strong thermo-optic effect present in chalcogenide glasses, we experimentally demonstrate non-permanent optically-induced waveguides in bulk As2Se3 rods using a 1.55 μm wavelength laser. This single-ste...

Although numerous frameworks for web application programming have been developed in recent years, writing web applications remains a challenging task. Guided by a collection of classical design principles, we propose yet another framework. It is based on a simple but flexible server-oriented architecture that coherently supports general aspects of modern web applications, including dynamic XML ...

This article discusses an undergraduate secondlanguage writing course that incorporated web conferencing. The study was informed by a sociocultural research approach known as activity theory [2]. Student reflective diary entries posted over ten weeks to the web conference helped identify features that supported or detracted from collaboration, peer evaluation and the coconstruction of academic ...
