The main goal of this study was to obtain insight about the factors that influence students' ability to learn during a field trip, in order to improve the planning and execution of learning field trips. The study was conducted in the context of a 1-day geological field trip for high school students in Israel. Three domains were tested by observations and questionnaires: (1) the nature of the le...

An analysis of static occlusion including occlusal force and occlusal contact area in intercuspal position may be helpful but a dynamic analysis of occlusion should be regarded as more important for analyzing the stomatognathic system. Anthropological research has shown that the Japanese and the Mongolian populations share morphological and genetic similarities, although their dietary lives are...

Rev Esp Cardiol. 2005;58(2):121-5 121 It is well known that cardiovascular function is characterized by, among other factors, a number of biomechanical indices and parameters, and in turn, depends upon the phenomena that they describe. The article by Bia et al1 published in this issue of REVISTA ESPAÑOLA DE CARDIOLOGÍA assesses these parameters using in vitro techniques, and concludes that they...

Background: Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne disease that affects between 50 and 100 million people each year. Increasing our understanding of the heterogeneous transmission patterns of dengue at different spatial scales could have considerable public health value by guiding intervention strategies. Methods: Based on the weekly number of dengue cases in Perú by province, we investigated the ass...

Neonatal environment can have important, life-long influences on stress-reactivity and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis regulation. In rodents, brief mother-infant separations have been shown to improve efficiency of the HPA axis, decrease stress-reactivity, and decrease age-related declines in cognitive function. Here, we provide evidence that there are potential costs associated with...

In many scenarios that involve digital systems, it is beneficial to maintain awareness of other people’s actions. During face-to-face communication with fellow humans, this is accomplished by gestures. The recent interest in gestural interfaces offers the possibility to transfer this paradigm to human-computer interaction. Previously, researchers exclusively discussed gesture size as a contribu...

Although researchers have considered diversity in IT, few studies have specifically analyzed the underlying components of individual perceptions of diversity. This research-in-progress reports on an exploratory factor analysis as an initial step towards validating the Diversity Perceptions Inventory (DPI). The DPI was administered to a group of 165 students, and four factors emerged from the an...

The Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is a key strategy used in the United States to assure an adequate surge capacity healthcare workforce for response to disasters. A survey of Hawaiian healthcare providers (n = 1,057) was conducted to identify factors that influence interest, ability, and willingness to join the MRC; 468 (44.3%) healthcare providers responded. Overall, females were more likely to ...
