Forty hours of declarative programming: Teaching Prolog at the Junior College Utrecht

This paper documents our experience using declarative languages to give secondary school students a first taste of Computer Science. The course aims to teach students a bit about programming in Prolog, but also exposes them to important Computer Science concepts, such as unification or searching strategies. Using Haskell's Snap Framework in combination with our own NanoProlog library, we have developed a web application to teach this course.Comment: In Proceedings TFPIE 2012, arXiv:1301.465

General Psychology 2e

General Psychology 2e offers an insightful exploration into the complexities of the field of psychology and all that it has to offer. This book provides a thorough introduction to the foundational principles of psychology, covering essential theories, research findings, and applications that illustrate the intricate workings of the mind. The text begins with a historical overview of psychology, tracing its evolution from philosophical roots to its establishment as a scientific discipline. It then delves into essential topics regarding stress and mental health disorders and concludes with therapy and treatment approaches. It then covers research in psychology, biopsychology, consciousness, and perception. It then covers thinking, memory, learning, and lifespan development before concluding with emotions, personality, and social psychology. Key psychological theories are explored, including those ranging from psychoanalysis to emotional intelligence, among others, providing readers with a broad understanding of the diverse perspectives within the field. Each chapter integrates empirical research with practical applications, offering readers valuable insights into how psychological principles can be applied to real-world scenarios. Through a combination of thought-provoking situations in the “Dig Deeper” sections along with critical thinking questions that accompany every chapter, the book aims to foster a deeper appreciation for the complexities of human behavior and enhance readers\u27 ability to apply psychological concepts in various contexts. General Psychology 2e is designed for students, professionals, and anyone interested in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the field of psychology and its relevance to everyday life.https://scholars.fhsu.edu/all_oer/1009/thumbnail.jp

Post -trauma MRI knee interpretation: our experience with a mechanism-based approach in South African setting.

Master of Medicine in Radiology. University of KwaZulu-Natal. Durban, 2017.A mechanism-based approach to the interpretation of complex knee injuries at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is cited by several authors to provide increased reporting accuracy and efficiency by allowing accurate prediction of injury to at-risk structures. We took interest in the clinical benefits proposed for such an approach, and set out to assess the approach’s validity in our local South African setting. We identified in the recent literature a consolidated mechanism-based pattern approach to complex post-trauma MRI knee interpretation compiled by Hayes et al., which showed high validity of 85% in a North American setting, and set out to test this approach in our resource-constrained South African setting. We found a low percentage (average 19%) of knee injuries classifiable by mechanism using the Hayes et al. classification. Statistically there was fair agreement between the two observers. We conclude, based on remediable limiting factors, that the clinical benefit of a mechanism-based interpretation approach could be optimised in our resource constrained setting by focusing its application on cases imaged within a time window when key injury findings such as bone bruising and soft tissue injury will be optimally detectable, as well as in patients injured in sporting and similar athletic activities. We advocate that the development of a digital MRI image reference tool for the implementation of the Hayes et al. classification could simplify and enhance its application

Documentary film production under neo-liberal circumstances – a genre in change

With my paper I will give a short definition and the tradition of documentary filmmaking and a short description of what changed last decades especially in production conditions, thus influencing style and approach of filmmaking. With the example of few selected awarded documentaries it will be discussed how neo-liberal politics is influencing via production conditions as well as changing minds style and approach of films, and how filmmaker try to face the scars of neo-liberal politics and what does this mean for filmmaker and protagonists.

Women in Film and TV productions

A closer look at women in film, as directors or as characters, provides a basic understanding of the situation of a society. Within this topic one is able to develop a much greater comprehension of if and how gender equality is represented and understood, through simple application of common sense. Gender role models are constructions, made common and perpetuated by media productions
