Le monologue théâtral au service de l'enseignement des sciences humaines

Étant donné que les étudiants doivent, selon les auteurs, réellement participer aux activités en classe afin de jouer un rôle plus actif dans le processus d'apprentissage, et pour faire suite à leur article paru dans Pédagogie collégiale en 2002, le présent article donne un aperçu des techniques d'art dramatique comme outils dans l'enseignement de la psychologie et d'autres disciplines en lien avec les sciences humaines. Forts de leur expérience de l'utilisation des techniques du monologue, du personnage « sur la sellette » et du « panel d'experts », ils suggèrent ces outils ne requérant aucune technologie, les jugeant propices à une participation active des étudiants. Après un bref rappel historique, les auteurs s'attardent sur l'utilisation des monologues dans différents cours de psychologie. Pour ce faire, ils proposent plusieurs exemples en explicitant les aspects particuliers de cette technique théâtrale, qu'il est possible de jumeler à d'autres techniques afin de maximiser l'apprentissage des étudiants. Aussi, ils soulignent qu'il est possible d'utiliser le monologue dans d'autres matières comme, notamment, la sociologie, les sciences politiques et l'histoire, la seule contrainte étant l'étendue de l'imagination de l'enseignant

Assessment of Air Quality and Noise around Okrika Communities, Rivers State, Nigeria

The quality of air and noise levels around Okirika communities in River State were determined using portable hand held air monitors for air pollutants and anemometer for meteorological parameters. The parameters measured were suspended particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, carbon monoxide, methane and volatile organic carbon, temperature, wind speed, wind direction and relative humidity. The results showed the highest concentrations of 0.007mg/m3 (PM1, dry), 0.036mg/m3 (PM2.5, dry), 0.286mg/m3 (PM7, dry), 0.378mg/m3 (PM10, dry), 0.503mg/m3 (TSP, dry), 1.7ppm (NO2, dry), 3.0ppm (CH4, dry), 0.2ppm (H2S, dry), 12.7ppm (CO, dry), 2.7ppm (NH3, dry), and 7.0ppm (VOC, rainy). The dry season concentrations of air pollutants were higher than the rainy season concentrations. The observed differences in mean concentrations of the air pollutants between the two seasons were not significant in case of TSP (P<0.05) but were significant (P<0.05) in other pollutants. The highest mean concentrations of the gaseous pollutants exceeded permissible limits and therefore pose environmental and health concern for the inhabitants of the area. The quality of air in the area is poor and need to be regularly monitored. @JASEMKeywords: Air quality, Okrika, Digital monitors, meteorology, Nois

Scaling graphs of heart rate time series in athletes demonstrate the VLF, LF and HF regions

Scaling analysis of heart rate time series has emerged as an useful tool for assessment of autonomic cardiac control. We investigate the heart rate time series of ten athletes (five males and five females), by applying detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). High resolution ECGs are recorded under standardized resting conditions over 30 minutes and subsequently heart rate time series are extracted and artefacts filtered. We find three distinct regions of scale-invariance, which correspond to the well-known VLF, LF, and HF bands in the power spectra of heart rate variability. The scaling exponents alpha are alphaHF: 1.15 [0.96-1.22], alphaLF: 0.68 [0.57-0.84], alphaVLF: 0.83[0.82-0.99]; p<10^-5). In conclusion, DFA scaling exponents of heart rate time series should be fitted to the VLF, LF, and HF ranges, respectively

A New Test for Market Efficiency and Uncovered Interest Parity

We suggest a new single-equation test for Uncovered Interest Parity (UIP) based on a dynamic regression approach. The method provides consistent and asymptotically efficient parameter estimates, and is not dependent on assumptions of strict exogeneity. This new approach is asymptotically more efficient than the common approach of using OLS with HAC robust standard errors in the static forward premium regression. The coefficient estimates when spot return changes are regressed on the forward premium are all positive and remarkably stable across currencies. These estimates are considerably larger than those of previous studies, which frequently find negative coefficients. The method also has the advantage of showing dynamic effects of risk premia, or other events that may lead to rejection of UIP or the efficient markets hypothesis

Abstract model for measure and category

This thesis is an attempt to establish an abstract model for Lebesgue measure and Baire category. In the introduction, we list several similarities between Lebesgue measurable sets and sets having the property of Baire. Then we abstract these similarities and use them as axioms. In Chapter I, we introduce a generalized model and prove some results that are well-known both in measure and category. In Chapter II, we define kernels and covers. After proving their existence for any set, we proceed to find some interesting results. It is very natural to consider the quotient algebra if we have an algebra containing a proper ideal. Hence Chapter III inevitably comes into the scene. In Chapter IV we introduce analytic sets through A-operations. This approach enables us to prove that every analytic set belongs to our model. In Chapter V we consider the local properties of sets and prove some interesting results. Chapter VI is taken from the work of J. C. Morgan II. We include his work here for the completeness of the thesis. Also, as we will see, it gives us a new insight into "negligible sets". We conclude the thesis by setting up a list of questions which, we think, are rather challenging
