Polarimetric Data: Dense Scenarios 01 - 04
Polarimetric data dense configuation Scenarios D01 through D04 collected within the Automated Remote Sensing Solar Simulation Lab at the University of Dayton. The data were collected using a visible RGB division-of-focal-plane imaging polarimeter. The dataset is parameterized across different sensor, scene, and illumination geometries that mimic outdoor solar irradiance conditions
Earthjustice: The Role of the African Regional Human Rights System in Containing Climate Change
At the turn of the millennium, the landscape of Africa has been punctuated by intense weather conditions. With a disproportionate percentage of the continent’s population bearing the brunt of climate-induced heatwaves, deluges, and drought, it is expected that this phenomenon will spur regional climate litigation. The essay argues that although there is an evolution of climate cases submitted at the national level, this development has not evolved to the African regional human rights system. The lack of cases at the regional level beckons one to explore why (potential)victims are unable or unwilling to explore these mechanisms given their role in safeguarding human rights. The central concern of this essay is to tease out how climate litigation is likely to play out at the regional level, considering the tension between self-determination and duties to avert transnational harms such as climate change. It will be argued that the right to self-determination is not absolute and that the restrictions relating to territorial integrity involve a growing body of treaties that oblige African rulers to adopt strategies that avert threats to a generally satisfactory environment
Development of Dietetics Students’ Skills and Self-Efficacy in the Nutrition Care Process
The Nutrition Care Process (NCP) is a systematic framework for providing nutrition care and a cornerstone of dietetics practice. Dietetics education relies on development of skills to achieve competence and demonstrate readiness for practice. The relationship between development of fundamental skills and self-efficacy among dietetics students preparing for clinical practice remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine the development of dietetics students’ skills in NCP documentation and their self-efficacy in performing the skills over one academic year. Student nutrition notes (n = 120 notes, n = 30 students) from standardized patient encounters were evaluated for quality using a validated tool: NCP-QUEST at four timepoints during the academic year. An optional self-efficacy questionnaire was completed by students (n = 24) at three timepoints. Mean (± standard deviation) and repeated measures mixed-effects linear regression were used to describe the results. NCP-QUEST scores improved significantly over the course of the program (p \u3c 0.0001). Students’ self-efficacy in the NCP also significantly improved over time (p \u3c 0.0022), even when controlled for NCP-QUEST scores (p \u3c 0.006). Students demonstrated significant gains in skills and self-efficacy related to the NCP as they progressed through the dietetics curriculum. Targeted efforts to improve clinical decision-making and documentation may further support development of students’ self-efficacy
Polarimetric Data: Sparse Scenarios 13 - 16
Polarimetric data sparse configuation Scenarios S13 through S16 collected within the Automated Remote Sensing Solar Simulation Lab at the University of Dayton. The data were collected using a visible RGB division-of-focal-plane imaging polarimeter. The dataset is parameterized across different sensor, scene, and illumination geometries that mimic outdoor solar irradiance conditions
