The idea of passive euthanasia has recently been attacked in a particularly clear and explicit way by an ‘‘Ethics Task Force’’ established by the European Association of Palliative Care (EAPC) in February 2001. It claims that the expression ‘‘passive euthanasia’’ is a contradiction in terms and hence that there can be no such thing. This paper critically assesses the main arguments for the Task...

In a class there are various characteristics of students, some active and passive, so to foster motivation that students or classes in vacuum can receive lessons on par with the others, you must use methods student motivation. The objective this Classroom Action Research are: (1) To find out describe implementations Games Method Physical Education learning IV SDN Bubutan Surabaya. (2) impact an...

This study investigated the effects of perinatal genistein (GEN) exposure on the central nervous system of rat offspring. Pregnant dams orally received GEN (1 or 10 mg/kg/day) or vehicle (1 ml/kg/day) from gestation day 10 to postnatal day 14. In order to assess the effects of GEN on rat offspring, we used a battery of behavioral tests, including the open-field, elevated plus-maze, MAZE and ste...

Numerous vibration control techniques, employing both passive and active methods, have been developed and tested over the last several decades. Some of these techniques are in widespread use, while others have rarely or never left the laboratory. This paper considers the value that vibration damping and control of aircraft fins and appendage structures can have in reducing loads and subsequent ...

Dynamically stable biped robots mimicking human locomotion have received significant attention over the last few decades. Formerly, the existence of stable periodic gaits for straight walking of passive biped walkers was well known and investigated as the notion of passive dynamic walking. This study is aimed to elaborate this notion in the case of three dimensional (3D) walking and extend it f...

This research begins with students perceiving mathematics as a difficult and saturating subject, which causes to be passive less enthusiastic about learning asking questions. To overcome this problem, quick on the draw strategy is used game expected make that was memorable fun, so it can increase student motivation. study aims determine in motivation by using strategy. Classroom Action Research...

Passive dynamic walking, a phenomenon originally described for bipeds having straight legs, also works with knees. Thus given only a downhill elope aa a source of energy, a humanlike pair of legs will settle into a natural gait generated by passive interaction of gravity and inertia. No muscular input is required. The physice is much the same as in straightlegged walking, but the knee-jointed f...

We investigate the effects of team-based learning (TBL) on motivation and learning in a quasi-experimental study. The study employs a self-determination theory perspective to investigate the motivational effects of implementing TBL in a physiotherapy course in higher education. We adopted a one-group pretest-posttest design. The results show that the students' intrinsic motivation, identified r...

The questions addressed in this paper are whether and how reported mortality reminders can function as an indication of sincerity when communicating ambiguously motivated decisions. In two experiments, participants were exposed to a fictitious CEO who announced a decision to implement new organizational measures that were both environmentally and financially beneficial. In the experimental cond...

Socially disruptive behavior during peer interactions in early childhood is detrimental to children's social, emotional, and academic development. Few studies have investigated the developmental underpinnings of children's socially disruptive behavior using genetically sensitive research designs that allow examination of parent-on-child and child-on-parent (evocative genotype-environment correl...
