Master of Science / Department of Mathematics / Andrew Bennett / In recent years, technology has improved and become a significant aspect in the classroom. Using technology has become a popular method of note-taking. This study investigates the effects of technology on note-taking by looking at the changes that can be shown between the traditional note-taking and taking notes by using different devices, such as the iPad and a smart pen. Modern technology, such as the smart pen which provides an automatic audio recording might improve student focus on important details. In addition, providing a standard note set along with note-taking tools such as an iPad might help student organize and access their notes. The result of this study showed that for all but one of the students, using technology did not affect their note-taking style or the amount of information in their notes. However, students were not satisfied with their notes when taken on the iPad.

This research work is based upon a training technique devised and recommended by J. Smith (1985) in a pamphlet published by The British Historical Association. The technique involves training school pupils in the making of notes from text books and references and then selecting appropriate points to answer specific questions. The technique was slightly adapted and used on a small Experimental Group drawn from Black first year College of Education students at an Eastern Cape College. A Control Group from the same College received conventional lectures on two topicS from the first year college syllabus - the San and Khoi peoples of Southern Africa. The Experimental Group was given a brief training period in Smith's technique and then worked independently on extended reading passages on the same topics. Both groups received a similar introduction of a video tape on the San and a slide presentation on the Khoi. Both groups wrote the same final test after their learning experiences were over and both groups completed questionnaires on the initial visual input and on their reactions to the learning experience. Comparisons are drawn between the results and the students' reaction to those learning experiences.

While investigating the biology of the economically important members of the genus Lutianus on the East African coastline, difficulty was experienced with the identification and the nomenclature of the group using existing literature. It was essential that adequate descriptions of the species of the genus should be available before their biology could be investigated. Routine work of the East African Marine Fisheries Research Organization has produced over 1,000 specimens for study. The Organization's vessel, the M.V. "Research", has collected by handlines, multiple trolling lines, gill nets, deep lines and basket traps over the six hundred mile coastline of Kenya, Tanganyika and Zanzibar Protectorate, i.e. from Lat. l o 30" S. to 10° 30" S. This material forms the basis of the present paper. Underwater observations with and without a Seibe-Gorman aqualung down to seven fathoms have been made on a number of coral reefs. In this way some knowledge of the habits of certain species of the genus has been acquired, and some species rarely taken by normal fishing methods were discovered to be common. Specimens of these have been collected by spear guns. Where notes of habits of a species have been made they have been appended under the heading "Ecological note". Of the thirteen species of the genus found in the area, all (except the very small L. ehrenbergi) pass through the local markets and are considered good eating, and seven are important food fishes. Economically the genus ranks as one of the three most important groups of bottom Telcosts; the others being the Epinephelids and the genus Lethrinus.

A novel set of long-term data on Swedish commercial banks in 1870–2001 is used to shed new light on some long-standing issues in money and banking. Essays 1 and 2 explore long-term changes in the leverage and profitability of the Swedish banking system, and inquire into the causes of their change. In particular, it is investigated whether inflation and high corporate taxes were the causes behind the increasing leverage of Swedish banks in the 20th century. Essays 3 to 5 describe the workings of the Swedish note-banking system in the late 19th century and compare its performance with the central-banking regime after 1904, when the Bank of Sweden gained a note monopoly. How does note monopolisation affect the elasticity of the currency, and how does it affect the size of money and credit cycles? These classical questions are tested empirically for the first time. / Diss. Stockholm : Handelshögskolan, 2005 S. 3-11: sammanfattning, s. 15-186: 5 uppsatser

L'intérêt philosophique pour la « visibilité » – Sichtbarkeit –, à la fin du XIXe siècle, participe d'une interaction nouvelle entre art, science et technique. Le dessin réunit les arts graphiques comme science du « visible ». Vitruve établit déjà que la « science de l'architecte » – Architecti scientia – prend valeur et se renforce par la « science du dessin » – Graphidis scientia. La recherche porte sur l'analyse du dessin que l'architecte utilise et produit lorsqu'il travaille à s'instruire selon son propre arbitre et ses propres moyens, hors les murs des écoles et des ateliers, au tournant du XIXe au XXe siècle. Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (1887-1965), Paul Tournon (1881-1964) et Jean-Charles Moreux (1889-1956) voyagent pour leur apprentissage. Ils regardent le monde et transcrivent leur étonnement activé au contact de la réalité. De la même manière, pour se former, alors que leur production architecturale sera très différente, ils notent en dessin. Nous interrogeons la réduction intellectuelle et graphique de la note comme une forme courte de représentation. La forme courte est le travail conscient d'analyse et de recherche synthétique. Chaque trait est pensé et pensé comme matérialité. C'est un acte conceptuel d'abstraction. Comment cette forme courte, que nous interprétons dans sa vocation théorique, participe-t-elle de l'acquisition du « regard instruit » de l'architecte ? / The philosophical interest for the « visibility », - Sichtbarkeit -, at the end of the XIXth century, involved a new interaction between art, science and technique. The drawing combines graphic arts as science of « visible ». Vitruve already establishes that the « science of the architect » – Architecti scientia – takes value and is reinforced by the « science of the drawing » – Graphidis scientia. The research relates to the analysis of the drawing which the architect uses and produces when he works to educate himself, according to his own referee and his own means, out of schools and the workshops, in the bend of the XIXth in the XXth century. Charles-Edouard Jeanneret (1887-1965), Paul Tournon (1881-1964) and Jean-Charles Moreux (1889-1956) travel for their learning. They look at the world and transcribe their astonishment activated in contact with reality. In the same way to form, while their architectural production will be very different, they note in drawing. We interview the intellectual and graphical reduction of note drawing, as a short form of representation. The short form is the conscious work of analysis and of synthetic research. Each feature is thought and thought like materiality. It is a conceptual act of abstraction. How this short form, that we interpret in his theoretical vocation, takes part-such of the acquisition of the architect's trained glance ?

The effects of note-taking on self-disclosure during a clinical interview among prisoners were investigated. Participants consisted of 60 male and female inmates incarcerated in a minimum security prison. Subjects within each gender were randomly assigned to either high note-taking, low note-taking or no note-taking conditions. Subjects were asked to discuss intimate information during an interview while varying levels of notes were taken. Self-disclosure was assessed using items from the Rotter Incomplete Sentences Blank. A 3 x 2 ANOVA was conducted. No significant main effects were found. However, a significant interaction was found. Further analysis revealed that females in the high note-taking condition disclosed less than females in the no note-taking condition. Some theoretical and clinical implications are suggested.
