While I'm away I will be re-running the most popular posts of the year. This was the third most popular post in March, 2014. One of the most useful new Add-ons for Google Documents is the EasyBib Bibliography Creator. Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: Step 5:

Formuler une problématique Qu'est-ce qu'une problématique dans le cadre d'une étude ou d'un rapport ? Un processus : problématiser un sujet c'est le questionner pour déterminer la façon la plus appropriée de l'étudier. Un produit : la problématique est la synthèse de ce questionnement qui est présentée en introduction du rapport ou de la note. Elle annonce le sujet de la commande, argumente les choix faits et annonce comment elle sera traitée, en termes de méthodes d'enquête comme d'options prises. Attention ! La problématique ne doit pas être la justification de la commande. Exemple Si la question posée est l'intégration des élèves handicapés, il ne vous est généralement pas demandé de justifier pourquoi il faut intégrer les élèves handicapés, ou pourquoi cette question est importante dans la politique nationale ou académique. En méthodologie de recherche, le "travail de la demande" est la construction de la problématique.
Chapter 7: Science and Technology: Public Attitudes and Understanding - Public Knowledge About S&T Importance of Scientific Literacy Understanding Scientific Terms and Concepts Understanding the Scientific Process Technological Literacy Belief in Pseudoscience Surveys conducted in the United States and Europe reveal that many citizens do not have a firm grasp of basic scientific facts and concepts, nor do they have an understanding of the scientific process. In addition, belief in pseudoscience (an indicator of scientific illiteracy) seems to be widespread among Americans and Europeans. Studies also suggest that not many Americans are technologically literate. Importance of Scientific Literacy Scientific literacy in the United States (and in other countries) is fairly low. It is important to have some knowledge of basic scientific facts, concepts, and vocabulary. As noted earlier in this chapter, the science community has expressed concern that the public's lack of knowledge about science may have far-reaching consequences. Understanding Scientific Terms and Concepts
‘We experiment on human beings!’ OkCupid unapologetic about experiments on users — RT America ‘I did it for your own good’ is not what you want to hear when the dating site you use sets you up on a bad date. On purpose. ‘Everybody does it’ is similarly disconcerting. But that’s exactly what OkCupid is saying about experiments involving its users. The free dating and social networking website announced, “We experiment on human beings!” “OkCupid doesn’t really know what it’s doing. Rudder pointed to the recent uproar when researchers let slip that Facebook conducted a psychological experiment on 689,003 randomly selected English-speaking users by manipulating their emotions without their knowledge. “But guess what, everybody: if you use the Internet, you’re the subject of hundreds of experiments at any given time, on every site. The free love-matching site features member-created quizzes and multiple-choice questions, and supports multiple modes of communication, like instant messages and emails. Users are also able to rate each other. His conclusion from Love is Blind Day?
The Increasing Problem With the Misinformed (by @baekdal) #analysis When discussing the future of newspapers, we have a tendency to focus only on the publishing side. We talk about the changes in formats, the new reader behaviors, the platforms, the devices, and the strange new world of distributed digital distribution, which are not just forcing us to do things in new ways, but also atomizes the very core of the newspaper. But while the publishing side of things is undergoing tremendous changes, so is the journalistic and editorial side. The old concept of creating a package of news was designed for a public that we assumed was uninformed by default, but this is no longer the case. The public is no longer uninformed. So, in this article, we will talk about the rise of the misinformed using some really interesting data, as well as the threat to freedom of the press. Things are hard If we look at the trends, we see that the newspaper is the form of media that is struggling the most. Arguably, news is incredibly important, but it's also a very hard sell.
furud: Mu-ming Poo's Letter to his students in 2002 Written on 오전 11:22 by furud 직접보니 느낌이 더 팍 오는데^^; Mu-ming Poo is head of the Division of Neurobiology, Department of Molecular and Cell Biology at University of California, Berkeley, California, USA. To all lab members: Over the past several months, it has become clear to me that if there is no drastic change in the lab, Poo lab will soon cease to be a productive, first-rate lab that you chose to join in the first place. Thus I am imposing strict rules in the lab from now on: 1. 2. 3. On the whole, I understand and accept the fact that you may not fulfill the above requirements all the time, due to health reasons, occasional personal business. If you do accept the conditions I describe above, I am happy to continue to provide my best support to your work, hopefully more than I have done in the past.
Supervised learning: predicting an output variable from high-dimensional observations — scikit-learn 0.18.1 documentation Nearest neighbor and the curse of dimensionality k-Nearest neighbors classifier The simplest possible classifier is the nearest neighbor: given a new observation X_test, find in the training set (i.e. the data used to train the estimator) the observation with the closest feature vector. KNN (k nearest neighbors) classification example: >>> # Split iris data in train and test data>>> # A random permutation, to split the data randomly>>> np.random.seed(0)>>> indices = np.random.permutation(len(iris_X))>>> iris_X_train = iris_X[indices[:-10]]>>> iris_y_train = iris_y[indices[:-10]]>>> iris_X_test = iris_X[indices[-10:]]>>> iris_y_test = iris_y[indices[-10:]]>>> # Create and fit a nearest-neighbor classifier>>> from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsClassifier>>> knn = KNeighborsClassifier()>>> knn.fit(iris_X_train, iris_y_train)KNeighborsClassifier()>>> knn.predict(iris_X_test)array([1, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 1, 2, 0])>>> iris_y_testarray([1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 1, 2, 0]) Linear regression Shrinkage
Rationing in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia Government-controlled distribution of scarce goods in the United Kingdom Rationing was introduced temporarily by the British government several times during the 20th century, during and immediately after a war.[1][2] At the start of the Second World War in 1939, the United Kingdom was importing 20 million long tons of food per year, including about 70% of its cheese and sugar, almost 80% of fruit and about 70% of cereals and fats. The UK also imported more than half of its meat and relied on imported feed to support its domestic meat production. The civilian population of the country was about 50 million.[3] It was one of the principal strategies of the Germans in the Battle of the Atlantic to attack shipping bound for Britain, restricting British industry and potentially starving the nation into submission. First World War 1914–1918 In January 1917, Germany started unrestricted submarine warfare to try to starve Britain into submission. General strike of 1926 Second World War 1939–1945 Game
