Fingering strategies in the Prelude of J.S. Bach's sixth suite for solo cello

<p>The introduction of this exegesis presents a brief history of Bach’s cello suites, explores the relevance and reliability of the manuscript sources and discusses the intended five-stringed instrument for Suite No. 6. Part One compares and contrasts the fingering patterns within selected extracts from eleven different editions of the Prelude. It examines the varying interpretations and takes into account the fingering choices that have been adopted in the publications. Part Two of this exegesis comprises this author’s version of the Prelude. This incorporates the technically and musically convincing fingering patterns found from the research in prior parts of this study, as well as using the author’s own knowledge of cello pedagogy. The ultimate purpose of this research is to provide a comprehensive and informed version in which challenges of playing this movement are largely minimised.</p>

A study of secondary students’ decision-making processes with respect to information use, particularly students’ judgements of relevance and reliability

This report details an ongoing investigation of the decision-making processes of a group of secondary school students in south-eastern Australia undertaking information search tasks. The study is situated in the field of information seeking and use, and, more broadly, in decision making. Research questions focus on students’ decisions about the relevance and reliability of information. Data collected include video screen captures, think-aloud reports, and interviews. Qualitative data analysis developed a preliminary grounded theory to describe decision-making processes. Students depended on system-provided relevance cues, rejected particular resource categories, examined remaining items for general and specific relevance, and primarily used a process of corroboration to assess reliability. Selected implications for educators are raised.

TECHNIKI EWALUACJI KOMPETENCJI MIĘDZYKULTUROWEJ: ZAŁOŻENIA TEORETYCZNE A PRAKTYKA PROJEKTU EDUKACYJNEGO CONNECT

In academic education there is an increased emphasis on curricula with activities that stimulate the acquisition of knowledge, development of skills and shaping of attitudes that are needed during intercultural meetings. Although the discussion on the substantive and methodological aspects of intercultural education, which has been going on for several decades, has raised many theoretical considerations and led to practical solutions, the issue of the evaluation of intercultural competences still remains quite problematic. What is intercultural competence? How can it be measured ? What tools should be used for this? How can their relevance and reliability be measured? These issues are discussed in the context of the European educational Erasmus+ project Connect (2015-2018).

Exploring the Relevance and Reliability of Fair Value Accounting

While the FASB had regarded relevance and reliability as two of the most important qualitative characteristics for years, it replaced reliability with faithful representation revising its Concepts Statement No. 2 in 2010. Even if fair values are relevant for the measurement of assets and liabilities, these figures are not necessarily reliable or verifiable. We believe this point is the central message of Ramanna, K. (2019). Unreliable accounts: How regulators fabricate conceptual narratives to diffuse criticism. Accounting, Economics and Law: A convivium forthcoming. The application of fair value measurement has been substantially extended recently to income recognition of not-for-trading financial instruments and even non-financial assets. Is this extension due to the primacy of relevance over reliability, or the relaxing of requirement for reliability toward faithful representation? Whatever measurement method we use, it is absolutely necessary to construct a system of concepts on which the purpose of measurement should be established. In spite of the fact that any measurement method is a means to intended purposes, if we first chose a particular method and applied it to every situation slavishly, we would become similar to a bogus doctor selling a fake drug as panacea valid for any disease.

ANALYSIS OF CHARACTERISTICS OF REAL ESTATE OBJECTS SUBMITTED TO USRRE

The importance of relevance and reliability of information is determined by a complex system of management and control of the use of real estate. Due to the large volume of data, it is necessary that the data in the system is clearly structured. For operational use of information, it is also necessary to structure it. The article describes the characteristics of real estate objects that are necessary for entering into the unified state register and presents their conditional classification.

REJECTED! ANTITRUST ECONOMISTS AS EXPERT WITNESSES IN THE POST-DAUBERT WORLD

Economists regularly appear as expert witnesses in antitrust litigations. This paper analyzes how their models and methodologies have performed vis-à-vis the standards of relevance and reliability affirmed by the US Supreme Court in Daubert and its progeny. Some explanations for the economists’ troubles when facing a Daubert challenge in antitrust cases are provided.
