No full textHere is a well-worn book. Its well-creased cover paper is so thick that it feels like cloth. The front cover features a lovely illustration of Quartet under the title and the branch-bending bear over it. The pamphlet offers seven well-chosen Krylov fables: Spectacles; The Wood-Breaking Bear; The Elephant and the Pug; Quartet; The Sightseer in the Museum; The Wolf and the Cat; and The Fox (and his frozen tail and the wolf). This pamphlet has more than its share of stains, scribbles, and tears, and is thus a testimony to being well used for almost sixty years! There is a separate vocabulary for each fable at the end. It was fun for me to figure out which fables were being presented: The Sightseer in the Museum had no illustration and so was difficult. I had to match size of fable and quoted material within the fable. Enjoyable sleuthing! One last entry on the title-page is Kazaxskoe Godusdarstevennoe Uyeblo-Pedagogiyeskoe Izdatelbstvo.Language note: RussianI.A. Krylo
Occupational balance from a clinical perspective
No full textBackgroundOccupational balance is a central concept in occupational therapy and is commonly defined as an individual’s perception of having the right amount and variety of occupations in daily life. This individualistic and subjective nature of occupational balance brings with it certain challenges when applied in practice. The aim of this discussion paper is to highlight the challenges associated with the lone application of individualistic occupational balance in practice situations, and propose some way forward.MethodsThe Meleis’ Theory to Practice to Theory strategy was used. Practice-based vignettes were used as a point of departure to discuss these challenges. This was followed by theorising the importance of including the others’ perceptions of a person’s pattern of daily occupations.ConclusionBesides a goal of increasing a person’s occupational balance in clinical practice, striving towards creating a suitable pattern of daily occupations from a community perspective also seems to be a relevant goal
LIBERAL MEASURES AND STRONG POWER. TO THE 190TH BIRTHDAY OF B.N. CHICHERIN
Full text linkPurpose: Identify the general and special in the views of Boris B. Chicherin, as the brightest representative of Russian liberalism at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries on the problem of Russia’s political system, the prospect of the development of civil and political freedoms.
Research methodology: when working with the texts analyzed was used the comparative method, system method.
The results of the study: The article examines the political and philosophical views of the greatest theoretician of Russian liberalism at the turn of the XIX–XX centuries B.N. Chicherin. The author, noting the breadth of scientific views of the Russian liberal, concentrated on his ideas about Russia’s preferred form of government and the need to reform Russia’s state and legal system. Particular attention is paid to the views of Boris N. Chicherin on the problem of the exercise of individual freedom of a person, his civil and political rights in the conditions of strong state power, building up the legal system of interaction between the state and civil society.
The scope of the results: the results can be applied in scientific politological and social-philosophical studies, and in the course of teaching of social and Humanities disciplines
Crystal Dynamics and Anharmonic Properties of Bi-Pb-Tl Alloys
Full text linkTitle: Crystal Dynamics and Anharmonic Properties of Bi-Pb-Tl Alloys, Author: Aditya P. Roy, Location: ThodeThe crystal dynamics and anharmonic properties have
been investigated in disordered alloys of Bi-Pb-Tl using slow
neutron spectrometry. Damping of phonons caused by phonon-phonon
interaction and the effect of the force constant
disorder on the lifetime of the phonons have been studied in
the alloys. Measurements of the coefficients of thermal
expansion are reported. An experimental method of determining
the lattice frequency spectra by coherent inelastic scattering
of neutrons from polycrystalline materials is described.ThesisDoctor of Philosophy (PhD
Migration and dwelling quality in Rotterdam
No full textThe intention of this paper is to establish a statistical correlation between migration and the quality and quantity of houses in Rotterdam and environs at a high level of aggregation. Verification or falsification of correlations involving more variables would require a spectrum of data for all municipalities in the Netherlands which is beyond the scope of this paper. This paper presents primary research data of residential migration and the quality of dwellings in and around Rotterdam. It makes a substantive (historical data) and procedural (research process) contribution to knowledge which is of use to under graduate and post graduate students, as well as to researchers in the town and regional planning field.StedebouwkundeArchitectur
From Highway to Streetway
No full textThe city Utrecht is currently growing towards the A12 Highway and the city Nieuwegein. It is facing complexity problems such as increase in density, population and traffic intensities. However, the Highway (A12) has become a physical barrier and separates the urban fabric of Utrecht. This has a negative impact on the city’s qualities due to noise pollutions (over 65 dB) and air pollutions (exhaust fumes of particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide). Objective of this paper is to propose a residential typology configured with the highway that can transform the unhealthy highway environment into a healthy environment. The highway should be seen as a part of the city instead of dissociates it. Technical solutions for noise and air pollution will be introduced on an urban and building scale that enhances the liveability of the dense city and introduces a neighbourhood where people can also live outside.Architectural Engineering and TechnologyArchitecture and The Built Environmen

Use of Computer Access Technology as an Alternative to Writing for a Pre-School Child with Athetoid Cerebral Palsy—A Case Report
No full textThe purpose of this study was to demonstrate the use of an outcome-driven model of decision-making in the implementation of computer access technology (CAT) for a pre-school child with athetoid cerebral palsy. The child did not have the fine motor skills required to hold a pencil but had the cognitive abilities to learn to write; therefore, we explored the use of a CAT device to enable written communication. Case study methodology was used to describe the selection process, child-level outcomes, and clinical challenges faced by the therapist in the use of a consortium model that was designed for an outcome-driven model of decision-making. The critical role of an occupational therapist in this process using a family-centered approach is discussed
Arctic shipping: Commercial viability of the arctic sea routes
No full textClimate change and dwindling energy resources are the driving factors behind the research being performed in the Arctic region. The climate change is being caused by an increase in the greenhouse gases and this has disturbed the natural balance. These greenhouse gases are causing the rapid retreat of the ice in the Arctic region. This spells both bad news and good news. The bad news is of course obvious that the retreating ice can cause drastic changes to the local habitats and also the world. The good news is that the retreating sea ice, has given hope of shipping in the Arctic region. It has also given the opportunity to explore the vast resources buried deep in the Arctic region.CoMEM - Coastal and Marine Engineering ManagementHydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
A regional development plan for West-Suriname
No full textThis report was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a MSc (Stedebouwkunde). Alternatives for the development of an undeveloped region in West Suriname are evaluated, e.g. a growth pole vs dispersed settlements; large scale industry and agriculture vs small scale industry and farming. A comprehensive regional development plan for ths tropical frontier emerges from the rational evaluation of these alternative development strategies. Finally, a programme for the phased implementation of the regiional development plan is outlined. The Appendix Report contains the Literature Study which informed both the formulation of alternatives and the selection process of the alternative that provides the most balanced and responsible strategy for the development of West-Suriname from economic, social, environmental, administrative, and technoligal perspectives.StedebouwkundeArchitectur
