Using Data

As our cities continue to urbanize, opportunities for children’s unstructured outdoor play are declining. Play is a right to children, and holds a critical role in children’s lives. Creating opportunities for play during school hours produces significant physical and social health benefits. OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) is a registered community interest program originating in England transforming attitudes to play supervision, environment and provision within schools. In Toronto, Canada an OPAL pilot project is being implemented at six public elementary schools. Using data from this pilot, this study examines how differences in happiness while playing at schools vary across play conditions and duration. The study explores baseline data collected in Spring 2016 among 352 of 9-12-year-old children, attending grades 4 to 6. Binomial logistic regression was performed for recess and lunch play showing the correlation between happiness and play duration. There are statistically significant relationships between happiness and play conditions. Key words: outdoor play, unstructured, happiness, children, Toronto

Public And Private Sector

The contemporary tourist product includes attractions, created by nature as well as humans. Attractions represent a part o f some specific destination, place, city, region, even continent. Destination is to be viewed as a whole, which requires the quality management of both its development and the foundation of attraction resource. Quality management of a tourist destination is based on a synergy, meaning cooperation of all stakeholders in public and private sector. Without attractions there is no tourism, no tourist destination. Without quality management, precisely quality development management, a tourist destination would be left to a random, chaotic construction, the maximum usage o f resources, in short, to the threat o f loosing any attractiveness in the future. The quality management system of Pula as a tourist destination, suggested in this paper, should be established on the quality databases, available to the users connected through a network, all the stakeholders in both private and public sector. On-line users would constitute a Destination Management Network (DMN), i.e. a competitive diamond of Pula, a pilot-project whose success could become a parameter, a standard for other similar destinations. On-line information, from those statistical to the ones attached to tourist supply, products and attractions o f the destination, would refer to the Pula know-how. Knowledge, information and human capital are the starting point of the quality management and the competitive diamond framework of the Pula Destination Management Network.

This article presents the quantitative portion of a mixed methods study of moral injury among professionals in K–12 public education. Using a cross-sectional correlational survey design, 218 licensed K–12 professionals from 68 schools in one urban school district in the Midwest completed an on-line survey that included measures of moral injury and emotional and behavioral correlates. The K–12 professionals exhibited levels of moral injury similar to those experienced by military veterans. Correlational analyses found that experiences of moral injury were associated with feelings of guilt, troubled conscience, burnout, and the intention to leave one’s job. Linear regression analyses demonstrated that professionals working in high-poverty, racially segregated schools were significantly more likely to endorse experiences of moral injury. These findings reinforce the significance of the intersectionality of race and class in reproducing oppressive and immoral educational practices and outcomes. A deeper understanding of and greater attention to potential sources of moral injury is critical in order to foster a more just and ethical education system.

A distributed system is a complex system. Developing complex systems is a demanding task when attempting to achieve functional and non-functional properties such as synchronization, communication, fault tolerance. These properties impose immense complexities on the design, development, and implementation of the system that incur massive effort and cost. Therefore, it is vital to ensure that the system must satisfy the functional and non-functional properties. Once a distributed system is developed, it is very difficult and demanding to conduct any modification in its architecture. As a result, the quantitative analysis of a complex distributed system at the early stage of the development process is always an essential and intricate endeavor. To meet the above challenge, this chapter introduces an extensive framework for performability evaluation of a distributed system. The goal of the performability modeling framework is to consider the behavioral change of the system components due to failures. This reveals how such behavioral changes affect the system performance.

Thermal Diagnostics

The thermal diagnostics of a steam power unit in the TUROW Power Station is based on the DIAGAR system and thermal and flow measurements, recorded on-line by the DCS system. Along with direct evaluation of the operating parameters of the thermal cycle, the diagnostic system evaluates degradation of the system components and prognoses economically justified repair actions.

System Components

The uncertainty of mechanical system performance is strongly influenced by the properties of system components such as mass, stiffness-damping coefficient, and friction coefficient. Based on computational simulations, the system performance under uncertainty conditions can be estimated. However, the nonlinear dynamic behavior of friction is difficult to simulate in numerical simulations, this research is therefore employed a smooth stick-slip friction force model instead of the Coulomb friction force model. Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) combined with multibody dynamic (MBD) simulation is proposed to evaluate the uncertainty characteristics of the system components and stick-slip friction force between two contacting bodies. Numerical simulations applied the proposed method were performed to consider the effects of uncertainty of friction coefficient on the machining accuracy of a three axes CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine tool.

In the digital age, young people’s most powerful learning opportunities often occur online, in experiences and environments created by people working outside of the K-12 school system. In a sense, the internet has given new life to an older, less formal approach to education, in which individuals seek out and learn from others who share their interests. While schools remain critically important, teachers need to understand that more and more of their students are looking elsewhere to develop their knowledge and skills.
