Educational guidance is often seen as something good and empowering for the individual. In this article, such taken-for-granted ideas will be destabilised by analysing educational guidance as a practice in which confession operates as a technology which fosters and governs specific subjectivities. White papers produced by the Swedish Ministry of Education will be analysed drawing on Foucault’s ...

In recent years, various forms of career guidance and career counseling have become more prominent and better serviced in most universities throughout the world. Such services are obviously to the benefit of the students themselves and for society. After an initially slow start, researchers and practitioners in China have now begun to focus on the localization of guidance and counselling theory...

This paper summarizes the bidding procedures proposed by NEPOOL for the Energy, Reserve, Automatic Generation Control (AGC), and Operable Capability markets. Experience with the Installed Capability market is also described. On October 29, 1997 FERC accepted NEPOOL’s previous filings proposing the implementation of the Installed Capability Market by November 1, 1997, but suspended its implement...

Guidance of axons by molecular gradients is crucial for wiring up the developing nervous system. It often is assumed that the unique signature of such guidance is immediate and biased turning of the axon tip toward or away from the gradient. However, here we show that such turning is not required for guidance. Rather, by a combination of experimental and computational analyses, we demonstrate t...

Drosophila olfactory receptor neurons are found within specialized sensory hairs on antenna and maxillary palps. The linking of odorant-induced responses to olfactory neuron activities is often accomplished via Single Sensillum Recordings (SSR), in which an electrode inserted into a single sensory hair records the neuronal activities of all the neurons housed in that sensillum. The identificati...

A challenge for human-computer interaction researchers and user interface designers is to construct information technologies that support creativity. This ambitious goal can be attained if designers build on an adequate understanding of creative processes. This paper describes a model of creativity, the four-phase genex framework for generating excellence: Collect: learn from previous works sto...
