The formal project has been a requirement for the F.A.N.Z.C.A. diploma for the past few years. A questionnaire was sent to all registrars on a formal program asking questions relating to the formal project, perceived advantages, disadvantages, value of formal research teaching methodology and future career intentions. All years of training were represented. Forty-nine of the fifty-six (86%) respondents replied to the survey. Of these 15% felt the formal project had no value, 54% found it possibly useful whilst 31% perceived is as very useful. Advantages of the formal project included appreciation of research skills and the ability to critically appraise research. Disadvantages included lack of dedicated time, space and funding and production of poor quality research. A majority (63%) favoured formal teaching of research methods for the F.A.N.Z.C.A. diploma, which ideally should be taught before the Primary (30%) or in the Provisional Fellowship year (36%). Few respondents indicated a willingness to undertake a major commitment to research in the future (4%) but 46% wanted some contact with research and teaching as part of their normal work practice. A more structured teaching in research methodology, assessment of published work and presentation skills may be more suited to the longterm goals of the majority of clinical anaesthetists.

Creativity is an ability to come up with a new idea. In many cases, getting out of reality can bring forth a new idea. Since asking questions stimulates the brain to release us from reality, repeating such questions forms the habit of asking many questions that increases creativity. A framework consisting of three kinds of questions is provided. The three kinds of questions are on axes of “time,” “space,” and “field” and the framework is called as three dimensional creativity. Traveling along the three axes allows escaping from a fixed idea, and thus helps us to raise new ideas.

The primary focus of the Higher Education Institution (HEI) is the generation and dissemination of knowledge. This knowledge is generated and shared throughout the research community and to students specifically enrolled in university programmes. Public engagement with science enables and ensures the generation and sharing of knowledge throughout a wider community.Public engagement with science has enjoyed an increasingly heightened profile in recent years with six „Beacons for Public Engagement‟1 being established across HEIs in the UK, including a National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement2 hosted between the University of Bristol and the University of the West of England In addition, public engagement is a component in the „Pathways to Impact‟ statements3 which have been introduced into all RCUK research funding applications.However public engagement, and in particular public engagement with science, can often be perceived as an add-on or „Cinderella‟ activity to be undertaken only by the dedicated and often only in their own time. This paper argues that public engagement with science is a legitimate area of academic practice in HEIs which complements and extends research and teaching. The paper outlines key principles which underpin public engagement with science and describes effective work practice

Modern trends, economic development and technological progress further intensify competition. Thus, in the context of growing competition, the attention of enterprises is focused on non-value activities, i.e. on activities that have no value and associated costs. This is due to the fact that activities of no value in enterprises lead to increased costs and reduced profits. Non-value actions can be observed during the entire course of the company activities. To do this, it is necessary to pay special attention to the fact that values are not formed as a result of actions of the enterprise. Non-value actions in the enterprise include unnecessary materials, packaging, poor quality, production losses, excess inventory, unnecessary transportation, additional control, unproductive working hours, etc. Thus, in this study, the impact of the Kaizen cost calculation system on eliminating or reducing useless activities in the production process was studied using a semi-structured interview at a dry tea factory. The study focuses only on losses in the production process and does not take into account actions that do not create value other than production losses, i.e. are useless. Based on the results of the study, we can say that the Kaizen cost calculation system has a positive effect on reducing production losses (defective production, idle production, excess and waste), which are one of the actions that have no value.

The effect of buckwheat seed storage duration on major indices of the quality was analyzed. Seed collected in 1996 and stored for 30 days (analyzed in 1996), seed stored for one year (analyzed in 1997), seed stored for two years (analyzed in 1998), seed stored for three years (analyzed in 1999) seed stored for four years (analyzed in 2000), seed stored for five years (analyzed in 2001) and seed stored for six years (analyzed in 2002) were investigated. The results of investigation have shown that seed stored up to two years had preserved its good production traits. Seed stored longer than two years have shown poor quality traits, and seed stored over three years could not be used - its production traits (germination energy and total germination) confirmed that such seed could not be used for planting. Seed stored over five years, regardless of storage conditions, had no qualitative traits, and therefore no value. It was also observed that longer storage duration induced decrease of seed mass. In regard to fractions, it was observed that smaller fractions lost their quality more quickly than medium fractions.

The main goal of this paper is to evaluate recent empirical studiesconducted in the German environment which concern theprocesses of foreign language acquisition by young children intheir early school education. The results of these new studies led tothe development of new teaching strategies based on the interactionbetween the teacher and the young learners. Different aspectsof the studies reported in the paper are now subject to a widespreaddebate and they deserve attention in our educational contextas well, since Polish schools resemble German ones in manyrespects. Therefore, the critical overview presented here can beseen as an inspiration for a new research agenda in the area ofsecond language research and teaching methodology for that agegroup. Moreover, from the practical point of view, it opens newoptions in developing new teaching methods and teaching materialsfor young foreign language learners in Polish schools.

Geography has had limited interchange with the implications of major philosophical assumptions and paradigms in geographical education and research methodology. This paper claims a closer engagement with the philosophical arguments on ontology, epistemology, and axiology as well as the research and teaching strategies or paradigms. It is adopted and has much to offer to geography, not least in providing a showground within which very different types of geographical inquiry i.e., qualitative and quantitative, may find some common ground for helpful discussion and debate in geographic research. Nevertheless, this will only be fully accomplished if geography enters on: (1) studies that develop and arrange clear positivist ideas and concepts within the particular geographic research; (2) studies that attempt to relate geographic research to the broader realm of the constructionism/ interpretivism tradition; and (3) examination of the link of the geographic research with the pragmatism. The contemporary revival of geographic paradigm is described, together with its impacts on research and teaching methodology in geography. The prevailing literature on geographical rendezvous with positivism is then examined, and it is claimed that there is a single reality, which can be measured and known. Therefore, they are more likely to use quantitative methods to measure the fact. Likewise, constructivist believe that there is no single reality or truth. Thus, existence need to be interoperated, and consequently they are more likely to use qualitative methods to get those multiple realities. Pragmatism has much broader relevance within both physical and human geography, not linked to particular research styles. It believes that truth or reality is constantly negotiated, debated, interpreted and therefore, the best method to use is to solve the problem or explores the truth or fact.

The Relationship

Look through the window of any second or foreign language (L2) reading classroom and, invariably, you will see the teacher and students seated with books open in front of them. This superficial similarity masks vast differences in teaching methodology, however. As the 20th century draws to a close, there are, around the world, at least four distinctive approaches to the teaching of L2 reading: grammar-translation, comprehension questions, skills and strategies, and extensive reading. After brief descriptions of these four approaches to teaching reading and their status in the reading classroom, important issues in L2 reading instruction are addressed, leading to more general concerns involving the relationship among theory, research, and teaching practice.

Low Frame Rate

With the increased use of surveillance cameras, more and more video footage depicting accidents is available these days for accident reconstruction. The authors present an accident reconstruction case study involving an impact between a tractor-tanker and a pedestrian using surveillance video footagefrom a nearby business. Overall, the video footage is of poor quality, which is typical of surveillance video. This is usually evidenced by low frame rate, low resolution, and significant lens distortion not to mention the fact that the video is not centered on the actual accident. This paper addresses a solution to minimize the error often associated with such surveillance video. First, the distortion in the video footage is corrected using software that warps the image with a reverse distortion. Once the distortion in the video footage is corrected, then accurate photo/videogrammetry is performed to attain desired measurements. These measurements are then processed to perform a more accurate and detailed time/space analysis. Finally, graphics and photo-realistic animation are used to present the accident in time-space domain.

This paper will not describe any specific research in corpus linguistics. Instead, it will first reflect on the way many of us teaching languages and translation in university departments develop and use corpora in our research and teaching methodology. One of the objectives is to highlight the work by Professor Stella Tagnin and those of us with whom she has worked over twenty years, even if it does not bring anything new to the immediate area. It will go on to analyze how, apart from the didactic uses of these resources, and related research, their potential for Natural Language Processing (NLP) became increasingly important, and demonstrate how the methodology of corpus linguistics is now used in various disciplines, especially in interdisciplinary research. This analysis was prompted by involvement in a project to advise universities in two Central Asian countries on the creation of a masters’ degree in computational linguistics. The languages of these countries are very different from Western European languages, which obliged a re-assessment of my experience in linguistics and NLP in the context of English and Portuguese, when considering how the world’s less-resourced languages could join the mainstream of computational linguistics.
