International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 22-25, 2001 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / The technicalities of sharing telemetry bandwidth have been addressed in design and specification for the builders of the International Space Station. But success in sharing bandwidth comes from building relationships, documenting guidelines, negotiating, understanding human nature, peer review and willingness to participate in an evolving process. The station, 240 miles above Earth, moves through space at 17,000 mph, has its mass added to by humans and machines, regularly docks with visiting spacecraft, has year-round residents, and communicates with space agencies around the globe. Each new module -- with associated computers, multiplexers, and communications buses -- creates additional telemetry demands.

<p>Förlossningsvårdens processer har vanligen utvärderats med jämförelsetal samt statistik över bakgrundsfaktorer och interventioner.

This qualitative study addresses the interrelation of residency status, ethnic identity formation and schooling among young children of immigrants from Mexico and Central America in mixed legal status families in Central Texas. Through critical case studies, the researcher worked with Latino children of immigrants and undocumented immigrant mothers. The dissertation examines the following question: What is the interconnection between immigration experiences, residency status, and ethnic identity for children in mixed status families from Mexico and Central America? Informed by identity formation theories, Critical Race Theory, LatCrit theory and Chicana Feminist epistemology, this study shows how undocumented immigrant mothers support the development of an ethnic identity development in their children. A reason to work towards understanding identity formation among children of Latino ancestry is to open a space where their unique experiences are valued just as much as those of mainstream students. Latinos in the United States are not a homogenous group; we have diverse social, cultural, racial, and linguistic backgrounds. Schools and communities have inadvertently overlooked Latino children of immigrants by classifying them with the 1.5 and 2nd generation Mexican American students, but this classification does not acknowledge their unique needs and their particular familial experiences. This study also brings to light the experiences of undocumented immigrant mothers as important to the analysis of the phenomenon of immigration itself. This project is relevant to the growing field of immigration studies, education, educational administration, and anthropology of education, among other fields because it concentrated on young children ages 7-10, what the researcher considered an under researched population. The intention of this research is to disrupt monovocal, discriminatory discourses about Latino immigrants. Preliminary findings suggest the need to reframe Latino children of immigrants as individuals with rich, complex lives composed of different elements such as legal status, English/Spanish languages, immigration experiences/traumas, cultural traditions, and family composition. We need to work at the intersections of these different dimensions of identity and experience as well as to consider how each aspect is relevant for the education of children of immigrants of Latino descent. / text

Despite the volume, growth, and accessibility of documented knowledge – the insights and experiences stored on paper and in electronic form - management research has yet to demonstrate the same usefulness for documented knowledge as that found in knowledge residing in human sources. This dissertation explores two areas of potential for documented knowledge, suggesting the efficacy of a piece of documented knowledge is contingent not only on content, but upon the style and structure associated with that content. Style, how cognitively 'concrete' and affectively 'memorable' documented knowledge is perceived to be, is hypothesized to affect how much attention it draws and, in turn, to impact its transfer to users. Structure, reflecting the level of parsimony and modularity in documented knowledge, is hypothesized to impact attention to and manipulation of knowledge such that it affects knowledge transfer and creation. Hypotheses were tested in two laboratory studies using scientific research as an exemplar of documented knowledge. Results indicated that style was associated with documented knowledge, but was not related to its transfer. Likewise, structuring documented knowledge for greater parsimony and modularity did not improve knowledge transfer or knowledge creation. Shortcomings of the empirical tests are evaluated and possibilities for future improvements are discussed.

Within this reality, we will study the essential principles related to evidence definition and the truth as part of a regular procedural environment. Nevertheless, we shall consider crucial evidence-related elements such as hierarchy levels and the over-exaggeration of witnesses' testimonies within labor proceedings. The essay’s key scope is to point out that the recurrent devaluation of documented evidence over witnesses shall create enormous disadvantages. In addition, such measure shall undermine the search for the actual truth within labor proceedings and deliver a sensation of insecurity to all the involved in a specific dispute, especially given that witnesses can be extremely fragile and cast shadow over reality. After all the necessary reflections, this essay shall suggest eventual mechanisms to analyze evidences produced before courts, targeting the preservation of the actual truth and the continuity of the confidence in the Courts of Law / O presente estudo se propõe a examinar um dos problemas atuais da Justiça do Trabalho, qual seja, a valoração desmedida da prova testemunhal em detrimento da documental. Na esteira desta realidade abordar-se-á princípios próprios do campo probatório, bem ainda far-se-á uma análise da verdade dentro do campo processual. Não se perderá de vista, ainda, questões cruciais no campo probatório, como, por exemplo, a hierarquia da prova e a utilização desenfreada da prova testemunhal dentro do processo juslaboral. O escopo primordial do trabalho será demonstrar que a desvalorização recorrente da prova documental frente a testemunhal pode trazer grandes prejuízos ao jurisdicionado. Tal atitude também pode impor obstáculos na busca pela verdade dentro do processo e criar uma sensação de insegurança jurídica aos envolvidos na lide trabalhista, mormente porque a prova testemunhal, por sua própria essência, é extremamente frágil e, por vezes, maquiar a realidade dos fatos. Após todas as ponderações necessárias, o objetivo deste trabalho é sugerir mecanismos de análise das provas produzidas em juízo, no intuito de se preservar a verdade real e a continuidade da confiança no Poder Judiciário Laboral

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has been facilitating the coordination of industrial standards since 1947 (ISO, 2007), and for many years ISO 9001 has been the most popular standard in the area of quality improvement and management. However many companies face difficulties when implementing it and/or passing the time, a difference between the procedures and the actual processes, which could bring major consequences. The main purpose of this study is to extend the theory of the process of documentation by analyzing the nature of this gap and its causes, create a model to reduce this problem and justify it by studying our problem consequences. The research itself follows the model designed. It starts with document research and on-site observations that revealed several improve opportunities for our case company (Alstom Power Sweden). The results show how important the employee involvement and the management encouragement are for the beneficial use of ISO9001. It also demonstrates that the real value of the documented procedures is the findings during the “making of” and its revisions. Nevertheless, besides analyzing the particular opportunities and giving suggestions for solution, we modeled the vicious cycle that in the general case, organizations might deal with and gave recommendations to break it.
