Since the global financial crisis there has been growing interest in Post-Keynesian macroeconomic theory by political economists. In particular, recent Growth Models approach Comparative Political Economy (CPE) draws heavily on Kaleckian macroeconomics of demand regimes. This paper, firstly, traces disintegration nineteenth-century economy and highlights that many streams within heterodox econo...

In today’s world new knowledge is produced very fast and if we are trying to be at the top we have to update learning material every year. Traditional book printing is too time consuming and too costly for frequently updating. For this reason we put one of the most important thing in the distant education learning material to the Internet. There is no prescription how to do this nor which techn...

background: we conducted a retrospective analysis to evaluate the impact of omission of supraclavicular radiotherapy on supraclavicular failure rate and treatment outcomes in n1 breast cancer patients with evaluation of prognostic factors that affected supraclavicular recurrence free survival. methods: this study analyzed the medical records of 109 patients with n1 breast cancer. all patients u...

Previous studies (e.g., Wulf, Höss, & Prinz, 1998) have shown that motor learning can be enhanced by directing performers' attention to the effects of their movements ("external focus"), rather than to the body movements producing the effect ("internal focus"). The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that increasing the distance between the body and the action effects might ...

Learning computer programming is a prominent issue in the fields of computer science and education. This paper is an attempt to address this issue by investigating the experiences of undergraduate university students who studied computer programming. A total of 260 computer science and engineering students (210 males and 50 females) were recruited from three geographically distant campuses. The...

BACKGROUND Advances in electronic technology have created opportunities for new instructional designs of medical curricula. OBJECTIVE We created and evaluated a 4-week online elective course for medical students to teach the cognitive basis for interviewing skills. METHODS Ten students, from 2 medical schools, studied online modules on interviewing concepts and viewed videos illustrating th...

purpose : to compare visual quality in patients receiving alcon acrysof restor multifocal versus acrysof sa60at monofocal intraocular lenses (iol) methods : in this interventional study, patients with senile cataract undergoing surgery were enrolled. the age of the patients ranged between 40 and 85 years, and their potential preoperative vision was 20/30 or better. in all patients phacoemulsifi...

In this paper, we present our approach to describe and compose services for distant learning and research activities. For this purpose, we propose a metadata model for indexing services with three dimensions: a service can be viewed as a learning resource, as a resource that contribute and help researchers to perform their tasks in a community and as a service with a large scope. This model can...

One-month-old, inexperienced homing pigeons, prior to any opportunity to learn a navigational map, were subjected to either right or left unilateral ablation of the hippocampal formation (HF). These pigeons were then held together with a group of age-matched control birds in an outdoor aviary, where they were kept for about 3 months with the opportunity to learn a navigational map. When subsequ...

Explanation-based neural network learning (EBNN) has recently been proposed as a method for reducing the amount of training data required for reliable generalization, by relying instead on approximate, previously learned knowledge. We present first experiments applying EBNN to the problem of learning object recognition for a mobile robot. In these experiments, a mobile robot traveling down a ha...
