Philosophy of science in the tradition of logical empiricism was characterised by an almost exclusive reliance on formal methods. The historicist tum in philosophy of science in the 1960s initiated a mostly critical attitude towards such methods. After sketching this development in section I, I will argue that the availability of new formal methods and an increased sensitivity for the uses and ...

BACKGROUND Nursing students' self-efficacy is a predictor for their educational progress. Students, who believe that they can be successful in their studies, are more confident. Therefore, many universities have focused on life skills training programs to improve the mental health of their students. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to evaluate and compare self-efficacy in two groups of nur...

Life crises as stressor agents can disrupt the best stress management regime. Different life crises have different impacts. A standard scale to rate change and its related stress impact has been developed commonly referred to as LCU (life change unit) rating. This allocates a number of life crisis units or life change units (LCUs) to different event and then evaluates them and takes action acco...

despite the existence of a large variety of competency frameworks for medical graduates, there is no agreement on a single set of outcomes. different countries have attempted to define their own set of competencies to respond to their local situations. this article reports the process of developing medical graduates' competency framework as the first step in the curriculum reform in tehran univ...

In this paper we report on research on road extraction at TUM (Technische Universität München). We propose a scheme for road extraction in rural areas that integrates three different modules with specific strengths. The first module employs local grouping and uses multiple scales and context to reliably extract most parts of the road network. In order to connect these parts, the second module e...

The mapping TUM is the tangent mapping of % : T*M -» M and ττ*M: TT*M —• T*M is the tangent bundle projection. If (#,•) are local coordinates introduced in M, and (p*, q{) are corresponding local coordinates in T*M then O>M has the normal (Darboux) form coM = EU<tPi*dqi [We]. We recall that a submanifold C c {X, ω) is coisotropic if, at each x E C, the symplectic polar of TXC defined by C£ = {v...
