Although education is heralded as a national priority in France and Canada, previous research has suggested that the experience of schooling is very different in both countries. This can be noticed as early as elementary school, where teachers in both countries work towards similar goals of literacy, but with different techniques and conceptual tools. Drawing on classroom observations and thirty-five interviews with elementary school teachers in France and Canada, this study explores the way that educators talk about their roles, responsibilities and everyday practices to illustrate how their

Heart of the Fathers is a programmatic, seven movement work for wind symphony depicting my ancestors and their role as part of the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The movements represent their spiritual experiences, labors, times of joy, persecution, migration, and finally their arrival and success in their new homeland. The piece is organized in seven movements. Each movement represents a different portion of history leading to the western migration of my ancestors. The programmatic music contains a variety of symbols depicting the experiences of the pioneers.

Background: Obesity is a significant healthcare problem in modern American society. It has led to decreased longevity of employees and decreased productivity in day-to-day duties of healthcare workers. There are more negative attributes to obesity than positive, regardless of the race affected. One of the leading causes of death in 2012 was cardiovascular disease. Due to poor dietary choices, the promotion of sedentary lifestyle has led to complications of obesity such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Major improvements can be made within a community that acknowledges the risks of obesity

Abstract:
Wind power is a fast-growing source of non-polluting, renewable energy with vast potential. However, current wind technology must be improved before the potential of wind power can be fully realized. One of the key components in improving wind turbines is their blades. Blade failure is very costly because blade failure can damage other blades, the wind turbine itself, and possibly other wind turbines. A successful structural health monitoring (SHM) system incorporated into wind turbines could extend blade life and allow for less conservative designs. Impedance-based SHM is a method wh

Monitoring a structure's response to various loading conditions is essential to being able to predict catastrophic failure of the part. There are many types of sensors that have been developed to be able to accurately measure these important quantities.

Composite materials, such as those used in the wind turbine industry, are typically built in layers, which lend themselves to having sensors embedded in the structure.

Air pollution causes negative externalities on human health, especially on vulnerable groups such as children. We look at hospitalizations due to respiratory diseases for children in São Paulo Metropolitan Area (SPMA) between 2015 and 2017 as consequence of variation in particulate matter (PM 10) levels. We use wind speed as instrument for PM to deal with the endogeneity of air pollution exposure, considering that non-stationary sources of pollution are predominant in the region, which is among the ten largest metropolitan areas in the world. The results show that air pollution positively affe

Abstract:
<p> Proper evaluation of postural stability is an integral part of the comprehensive management of concussed athletes. Clinicians are in need of a cost-effective and objective tool to assist them in their assessments performed in a variety of health care settings. This non-experimental design compared the Wii Balance Board (WBB), a recreational gaming system, to the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), a tool developed for sports medicine clinicians for the assessment of postural stability in concussed athletes. The WBB has been proven to be used in various settings for rehabilitation but has

Abstract:
The study aimed to describe: the epidemiology of self-reported chronic respiratory disease, patterns of respiratory-related health service utilisation and quality of life in the community in Scotland, in relation to rural and urban locations, and to investigate change over time. At baseline compared with urban respondents, rural respondents reported a significantly lower prevalence of any chest illness, asthma, more than two other chronic conditions and eczema/dermatitis. Rural respondents were less likely to report a number of respiratory symptoms. Respiratory-related health service utilisati

Abstract:
This thesis examines methodological and theoretical issues related to health outcome measures. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) has become widely adopted as the theoretical framework of choice. The evaluation and assessment of any theoretical model depends on appropriate measures. It is important to establish that each measure is assessing only the theoretical construct of interest and not other constructs; otherwise, observed relationships between constructs may be misleading. It was shown that existing osteoarthritis measures and items were contami

Abstract:
It is standard practice to assume the discounted utility (DU) model on the part of the economic agents. This thesis tests the key axiom of the DU model (stationarity) in the health domain. Intertemporal preferences for health are of interest because of the debate over the appropriate treatment of future health effects in economic evaluation and of the relationship between intertemporal preferences and health-affecting behaviour. Social intertemporal preferences for fatal changes in health and private and social intertemporal preferences for non-fatal changes were elicited from members of the g

The investigation and search for new profiles aromatic-gustatory try to differentiate the product in a broad market, generic and not very varied. The launch of new wines is distinguished by its terroir, marketing or combinations of existing types of wine as Verde Rosé and Porto Rosé. Another phenomenon has been the growing interest for functional foods and, more particularly, for functional wines. In this field,
