The purpose of the reconciliation service is to create favor-able conditions for resolving conflicts without prejudice to participants in the educational process, improving the safety of the school environment and the use of technologies that are safe for health. Mediation is one of the alternative dispute resolution technologies in which a third neutral mediator is involved who is not inter-ested in the conflict and which helps the parties reach a concrete agreement on the dispute, while the parties have full control over the dispute.

Fascinated by the elephant

The description of childhood and the main stages of life of Vadim Evgenevich Garutt, as well as the fate of his parents, is given. The stages of making up of his personality as a specialist on modern and ancient animals, including elephants, are shown. His fate is closely intertwined with the history of Russia of the 20th century. It was influenced by revolutionary events in Russia and the Great Patriotic War, evacuation and difficult post-war years, suffered contusion and serious illnesses. Beginning from the school age, when he visited a study group of Young Zoologists and worked up at the Leningrad Zoo, the life confronted him with interesting people and situations that allowed Garutt to become an expert in morphology and evolution of mammoths and other Quaternary proboscideans. Such personalities as B.V. Pestinsky, A.P. Bystrov, Yu.A. Orlov, L.V. Oshanin, M.M. Gerasimov, B.E. Bykhovsky and other scientists played an important role in his fate. In addition to studying the teeth and bone remains of ancient elephants, he carried out an active museum work, mounting and restoration of fossil elephants and rhinoceroses’ skeletons. The results of his research are published in a number of important monographs and articles that are important for the systematic of the Eurasian proboscides and biostratigraphy of the Pleistocene.

The SAPO Campus recommender system: a study about students’ and teachers’ opinions

This paper aims to assess the relevance and usefulness of the SAPO Campus recommender system, through the analysis of students’ and teachers’ opinions. Recommender systems, assuming a ‘technology-driven’ approach, have been designed with the primary goal of predicting user interests based on the implicit analysis of their actions and interactions. The results of this study reveal that although there is some confusion and unawareness about the recommender system, the participants consider that SAPO Campus recommendations are useful and they often find interesting people and content through the results provided by the system. The results also reveal that there is a negative correlation between finding and following people through the platform recommendations and the level of education, that is, the higher the level of education, the lower is the frequency regarding finding and following people suggested by the platform recommendation system.Keywords: education; SAPO Campus; recommendations; interaction(Published: 29 August 2014)Citation: Research in Learning Technology 2014, 22: 22921 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/rlt.v22.22921

Transforming Challenging Patients into Interesting People - Creative Writing as Burnout Prevention for Health Professionals

And now for something completely different….. As health practitioners, we are involved in writing “stories” every day. The patient record is our interpretation of our patients’ stories (History) and a summary of our response to this (Examination and Management Plan).This record does not allow for much creativity on the part of the writer, and is very limited in its ability to assist the health practitioner in making sense of what has gone on for them at a personal level. To assist in remedying this problem, this workshop will use creative writing as a tool to assist in burnout prevention.The workshop will allow participants an opportunity to experience the use of stories and creative writing as a means of helping them to better manage some of the more challenging aspects of their working life, and to better make sense of what it means to be a health practitioner.Practical writing exercises across a range of styles will assist participants in reflecting on the effect their clinical practice has on their lives with the goal of increasing their enjoyment of work, and of life in general. These simple writing exercises will magically transform challenging patients into interesting people. No previous writing experience is required. Most of all, it will be an opportunity for some light hearted fun with colleagues.Learning Objectives: By the end of the workshop, participants will have had the opportunity to1. Learn knew skills in creative writing2. Reflect on what it means to be a health practitioner through the use of structured writing exercises3. Develop skills in using reflective writing as a way of personal debriefing about experiences at work4. Reignite previously lost passions for creativity5. Marvel at the brilliance of their colleagues6. Share some of their creative brilliance with colleagues, if they choose to.

‘Big stuff in a beautiful way with interesting people’: The spiritual discourse in UK religious television

This article critically examines changes in the style and tone of religious broadcasting. Increasingly, a discourse of spirituality and faith is used by television producers to describe and discuss their output, as these are seen as less contentious and more audience-friendly ways of promoting faith-based programming. However, these themes continue to be framed within a recognizable set of religious traditions, mainly Christian. Combining interviews with producers and analysis of the BBC series Extreme Pilgrim (2008), this article examines the representation of spirituality as it is visualized and narrated. It analyses how this representation challenges traditional religious institutions, the new role it creates for broadcasters within lifestyle television, and discusses whether this subjective position can be conveyed authentically through the medium of television. The future of religious broadcasting rests on finding sustainable formats, yet these lifestyle formats offer distinct challenges in relation to their successful production and reproduction.

COBRAS

In this chapter, the authors propose a case-based reasoning recommender system called COBRAS: a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) bibliographical reference recommender system. COBRAS’s task is to find relevant documents and interesting people related to the interests and preferences of a single person belonging to a like-minded group in an implicit and an intelligent way. Each user manages their own bibliographical database in isolation from others. Target users use a common vocabulary for document indexing but may interpret the indexing vocabulary differently from others. Software agents are used to ensure indirect cooperation between users. A P2P architecture is used to allow users to control their data sharing scheme with others and to ensure their autonomy and privacy. The system associates a software assistant agent with each user. Agents are attributed three main skills: a) detecting the associated user’s hot topics, b) selecting a subset of peer agents that are likely to provide relevant recommendations, and c) recommending both documents and other agents in response to a recommendation request sent by a peer agent. The last two skills are handled by implementing two inter-related data-driven case-based reasoning systems. The basic idea underlying the document recommendation process is to map hot topics sent by an agent to local topics. Documents indexed by mapped topics are then recommended to the requesting agent. This agent will provide later, a relevance feedback computed after the user evaluation of the received recommendations. Provided feedbacks are used to learn to associate a community of peer agents to each local hot topic. An experimental study involving one hundred software agents using real bibliographical data is described. The Obtained results demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.
