The applied behavior analysis has gone through some evaluations where it has been noticed the preoccupation of that community of analysts in keeping their commitment to the principles of a Radical Behaviorism proposal and in promoting socially significant behavioral changes. This study aimed at reviewing the artic1es about education published in the "Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis"ITom1968to 2000. In order to achieve this objective,it were selectedartic1esthrough the web and, after reading it's abstracts, it were developed categories of analysis inc1udingvarious aspects, such as: number of artic1es about students in regular c1assrooms by year, number of authors, academic institutions, subjects, settings, research themes, procedures and designs, and general objectives of the research. Through this analysis it could be noticed that articles on education of individuals on regular classrooms have been decreasing over the years, that researches were designed accordingly to the principles of behavior analysis,that the majority of subjects were at the primary level of education, that the most recurrent theme regards academic abilities and finally that the most common procedures were used to strength academic behaviors / Os analistas do comportamento tem constantemente demonstrados interesse em analisar o conhecimento produzido pela sua comunidade. A Análise Aplicada do comportamento já passou por algumas avaliações onde se constatou a preocupação da própria comunidade de analistas do comportamento em manter seu compromisso com os princípios de uma proposta Behaviorista Radicale em promover mudanças comportamentais socialmente significativas.Por sua vez este trabalho teve como objetivo fazer uma revisão dos artigos sobre educação publicados na revista 'Journal DfApplied Behavior Analysis' entre os anos de 1968 a 2000 Para tanto foram selecionados artigos pela internet e através da leitura de seus resumos foram formadas categorias de análises que incluíram aspectos como: número de artigos sobre estudantes em classes regulares por ano,número de autores,filiações, sujeitos, settings,temas abordados nas pesquisas, procedimentos e delineamentos utilizados, e objetivos gerais das pesquisas. A partir desta análise pode se constatar que os artigos sobre educação de indivíduos em classes regulares tem diminuído ao longo dos anos, que as pesquisas apresentam delineamentos condizentes com os princípios da análise do comportamento,que a maioria dos sujeitos investigados pertencem ao nível primário de ensino, que o tema mais abordado trata de questões relativas a habilidades acadêmicas e finalmente que os procedimentos mais utilizados tem como objetivo fortalecer comportamentos acadêmicos

Während Formal- und Sacherschließung in der angloamerikanischen Tradition als etwas Zusammengehöriges betrachtet werden, besteht im deutschen Bibliothekswesen eine klare, zumeist auch personelle Trennung zwischen den beiden Bereichen. Jüngere Entwicklungen der internationalen Standardisierung könnten hier zu einem Umdenken führen: Das theoretische Modell "Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records" (FRBR) hat eine neue Sicht auf das so genannte "bibliographische Universum" eingeläutet, das auch die Sacherschließung mit einbezieht. Auch "Resource Description and Access" (RDA), der Nachfolger von AACR2, versteht sich nicht mehr nur als ein Regelwerk für die Formalerschließung. Ganz konkrete Schritte für ein stärkeres Miteinander bringt das Projekt "Gemeinsame Normdatei" (GND) mit der Zusammenführung der Schlagwortnormdatei (SWD), der Personennamendatei (PND) und der Gemeinsamen Körperschaftsdate (GKD). Im Vortrag werden diese Entwicklungen näher beleuchtet und Überlegungen zu den damit verbundenen Chancen und Problemen angestellt.

This thesis explores the problems raised by the aggregation of entities into a global, collective level, an old problem encountered in many fields of science. We work on three projects related to the aggregation problem in social systems, using tools derived from statistical physics, and more generally quantitative tools. The first project focus on a paradigmatic model of the emergence of puzzling macroscopic behavior from simple individual rules, Schelling's segregation model. We hence propose an analytical resolution of this model and we studied analytically and via simulations the effect of several forms of cooperation between individual agents on the collective behavior. These questions are tackled in a mutually beneficial way for both economics and physics. The second project is based on the exploration of huge databases on scientific literature. We hence produce several 'science maps' representing the fields of complex systems (its internal structure and coherence being analysed through the references used by ~140000 relevant articles) and the research carried out in a scientific institution such as the ENS de Lyon. Finally, the third project deals with the elaboration of models of social phenomena based on natural sciences tools but sociologically grounded. We hence present the elaboration process of a model built with a team of sociologists. We then propose an opinion model specifically designed to explore a single question: the existence of lasting structure from non lasting entities.

The aim of this study was to investigate the Web-based information behaviour of high school learners in Oshana Region in Namibia. The study also considerd the challenges faced by learners when searching the Web for information. For many years in the history of library and information services, print-based information had been the main source of information. However, since the emergence of the Internet and its rapid development, the Internet has provided an almost unlimited pool of Web-based resources, thus becoming a powerful source of information. The Web is now established as the main medium for the wide dissemination of information across the Internet. Within the academic context learners throughout the world are able to retrieve seemingly endless volumes of information across all disciplines and from all over the globe. It is therefore important to study the behavior of young people in relation to Web-based information because it is today one of their most important sources of knowledge. The findings of this study could assist in curriculum design, especially with regard to Basic Information Science (a subject offered in schools in Namibia), which incorporates information literacy and information-seeking skills development. In addition the study provides some insight into the information and computer literacy levels of learners and proposes ways of responding to these, thus assisting in further developing these important literacies. The study was guided by Wilson’s (1999) model of information behaviour. The model attempts to describe an information-seeking activity and suggests relationships among stages in information-seeking behaviour. The study has adopted a quantitative approach as its methodology. Data from a total of 160 respondents was collected using a questionnaire that consisted of both open ended and closed questions. The study’s research questions investigate how, where and when do Grade 12 learners access the Internet, for what purposes do Grade 12 learners use the Web when looking for information, how do Grade 12 learners search for information on the Web, what are the Web information searching skills of Grade 12 learners, what sources of information on the Web do Grade 12 learners use, how do Grade 12 learners evaluate and use information found on the Web, and what are the challenges faced by Grade 12 learners when searching the Web for information. The survey concentrated on Matric learners (grade 12) from Mweshipandeka HS and Gabriel Taapopi SSS in the Oshana region of Namibia. The results were analysed using SPSS as a tool for data analysis. An interpretation of the findings of this study shows that learners Web-searching skills are inadequate. Overall, there was a high level of familiarity with various Web-information sources such as search engines, although users limited themselves mainly to a few sources such as the search engines Google and Yahoo and the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Learners were not aware of Google's limitations and of the existence of academic, often library-funded, information sources such as databases and electronic journals. The present study found strong indications that grade 12 learners lack information-evaluation skills as well as acknowledgement skills and that they are not aware of what constitutes plagiarism. This appears to be a result of poor training in schools. However, the status of learner’s access to the Internet is good. Both schools involved in this study provide learners with physical access to the Internet. / Thesis (M.I.S.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2013.
