Despite its origins, openness in the judiciary has expanded beyond transparency and, therefore, beyond the common law open justice principle. Several initiatives worldwide are echoing this trend and a new term, open judiciary, is arising as a way to address openness in the justice field. This chapter gives an overview of open judiciary initiatives worldwide, focusing on some of the most successful, in order to identify drivers of adoption, critical success factors, and preliminary results. The research is embedded in a broader exploratory study on the state of the art of open judiciary. The chapter is addressed to answer two of the research questions: What are some learning practices that can be identified worldwide in relation to openness in the judiciary? What are some of the most important lessons that can be learnt from these practices?

Resumen: Este artículo presenta los resultados preliminares de un estudio exploratorio sobre las concepciones que poseen los estudiantes de grado sexto de Educación Básica sobre las nociones de perímetro y área. La investigación está enmarcada en el enfoque naturalista de corte cualitativo. Los datos de la prueba diagnóstica se interpretan a la luz de los elementos conceptuales y teóricos las representaciones dadas por los informantes cuando resuelven problemas y argumentan situaciones que involucran los conceptos de perímetro y área. Los informantes clave son diez estudiantes de sexto grado de Educación Básica del Colegio Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho de Sucre (Santander). El análisis de la información consistió en determinar las principales categorías emergentes del estudio. Dentro de los resultados obtenidos se destaca que gran parte de los estudiantes demuestran poseer nociones claras de contorno y superficie, pero no tanto sobre perímetro y área. También se percibe que los estudiantes confunden área con perímetro y no asocian las unidades de medida de los conceptos.Palabras clave Área y perímetro – representaciones gráficas - resolución de problemasAbstract: This article presents the preliminary results of an exploratory study on the conceptions that the sixth grade students of Basic Education have about the notions of perimeter and area. The research is framed in the qualitative naturalistic approach. The data of the diagnostic test are interpreted in the light of the conceptual and theoretical elements, the representations given by the informants when they solve problems and argue situations involving the concepts of perimeter and area. The key informants are ten students of the sixth grade of Basic Education of the Gran Mariscal School of Ayacucho de Sucre (Santander). The analysis of the information consisted in determining the main categories emerging from the study. Among the results obtained, it is highlighted that a large part of the students demonstrate clear notions of contour and surface, but not so much on perimeter and area. It is also perceived that students confuse area with perimeter and do not associate units of measurement of concepts.Keywords Area and perimeter - graphic representations - problem solving

This chapter explores the concern for social needs in distance education. As a foundation, the chapter discusses the evolving learning environment and stakeholder expectations that distance education must address as it grows in prevalence. In addition, technology is a key enabler of any distance learning program. This chapter analyzes several theories that integrate learning and technology for potential insights applicable to distance learning. These insights lead to an exploratory study to compare the “need for affiliation” between students working in groups for distance classes (virtual groups) and students working in groups for on-campus classes (actual groups). The preliminary results of the study indicate that some issues concerning socialization do exist between the two groups. Ultimately, the study points to the need for more formal and definitive measures of the social aspects of group work in distance education.

Manuscript London, British Library, Burney 330 contains an anonymous collection of grammatical sophisms, dating in all probability from early 13th-century France or England, and all based on problematic biblical, liturgical or religious propositions. After a presentation of the manuscript and collection, this article examines two analysis tools that are applied in the majority of the sophisms, viz. a distinction between three layers of grammatico-semantic perfection or completeness, and the grammatical and semantic supposition doctrines. It appears that these sophisms pay prominent attention to improper or figurative supposition, but are not intended for highly advanced readers. These preliminary results suggest that the Burney Sophismata Collection constituted an exercise tool to support textbook-based instruction in theological grammar, which was developed by such masters as Peter the Chanter and William de Montibus in the late 12th and early 13th centuries.

Facial cognition serves an important role in human daily interactions. It has been suggested that facial shape can serve as a signal for underlining biological condition, and that it is correlated with, among others, health, fertility, and attractiveness. In this study, 14 women were photographed during three consecutive trimesters of pregnancy, and the levels of their facial sexual dimorphism, asymmetry, and averageness were computed. Facial sexual dimorphism in first trimester was higher than in the second trimester (F(2, 22) = 5.77; p = 0.01; ηp2 = 0.34, post-hoc Tukey HSD test p = 0.007). Similar pattern was visible for asymmetry (F(2, 22) = 3.67; p = 0.04; ηp2 = 0.25, post-hoc Tukey HSD test p = 0.05). No statistically significant changes in measurement of averageness were observed. Results from Bayesian complementary analyses confirmed the observed effects for sexual dimorphism. The evidence for trimester differences in asymmetry and averageness was inconsequential. Based on the preliminary results of this exploratory study, we suggest that previously found decrease in observed facial attractiveness during pregnancy can be related to the decrease in computed facial femininity (possibly mediated by the changes in facial adiposity).

Under mild conditions, trihydridosilanes interact with a variety of clean, hydrogenated and fresh metal and metalloid surfaces, including titanium, silicon and gold. In contrast, monohydridosilanes appear to have minimal interaction. All classes of hydridosilanes have minimal interaction with anhydrous oxide surfaces. Preliminary results suggest that surface modification with trihydridosilanes may provide a route for generating self-assembled monolayers on metal substrates. The synthesis of new trihydridosilanes is described. Contact angle, FTIR and XPS data for modified surfaces are provided.

AbstractA widely used tool in studying quasi-monoperiodic processes is the O–C diagram. This paper deals with the application of this diagram in minor planet studies. The main difference between our approach and the classical O–C diagram is that we transform the epoch (=time) dependence into the geocentric longitude domain. We outline a rotation modelling using this modified O–C and illustrate the abilities with detailed error analysis. The primary assumption, that the monotonity and the shape of this diagram is (almost) independent of the geometry of the asteroids is discussed and tested. The monotonity enables an unambiguous distinction between the prograde and retrograde rotation, thus the four-fold (or in some cases the two-fold) ambiguities can be avoided. This turned out to be the main advantage of the O–C examination. As an extension to the theoretical work, we present some preliminary results on 1727 Mette based on new CCD observations.

Preliminary results of such interrelationships are presented.
