Serial Dictatorship

Many real-life applications of house allocation problems are dynamic. For example, each year college freshmen move in and seniors move out of on-campus housing. Each student stays on campus for only a few years. A student is a “newcomer” in the beginning and then becomes an “existing tenant.” Motivated by this observation, we introduce a model of house allocation with overlapping generations. In terms of a dynamic rule without monetary transfers, we examine two static rules of serial dictatorship and top trading cycles. We support these seniority-based rules in terms of their dynamic Pareto efficiency and incentive compatibility. (JEL D13, D61, D82)

ABSTRACTThere is increasing evidence that sensorimotor learning under real-life conditions relies on a composition of several learning processes. Nevertheless, most studies examine learning behaviour in relation to one specific learning mechanism. In this study, we examined the interaction between reward-based skill acquisition and motor adaptation to changes of object dynamics. Thirty healthy subjects, split into two groups, acquired the skill of balancing a pole on a cart in virtual reality. In one group, we gradually increased the gravity, making the task easier in the beginning and more difficult towards the end. In the second group, subjects had to acquire the skill on the maximum, most difficult gravity level. We hypothesized that the gradual increase in gravity during skill acquisition supports learning despite the necessary adjustments to changes in cart-pole dynamics. We found that the gradual group benefits from the slow increment, although overall improvement was interrupted by the changes in gravity and resulting system dynamics, which caused short-term degradations in performance and timing of actions. In conclusion, our results deliver evidence for an interaction of reward-based skill acquisition and motor adaptation processes, which indicates the importance of both processes for the development of optimized skill acquisition schedules.

Education is one which is the continuous event which shifts the people or whole society from the dark to light. From the past few decades’ education and educational methods made drastic changes in our real life. Teaching and learning process has been made enormous growth in our society. Engineering education is literally different from the general teaching learning scenario. In this world, whatever we are seeing, feeling and experiencing all except the belongings from the nature are invented or innovated by engineering education. In the beginning of the era we are unaware about engineering background also we are not finding answers for the basic questions which are raised in our day to day life like why? how? what? when and where etc. But the engineering has proven that all uncertainties to the world even though which are not close to the imagination. This growth happened in Indian engineering is not up to comparable with worldwide growth. It is very clearly indicate that till we have to improve many things in our education systems. Even though we are competent to produce multiple lakhs of engineers per year, they are not qualified for availing the job directly. Many engineers are just fit in the job but that jobs are not relevant to their qualifications. Even though we are following our own systems as well as western education system which will not satisfied our needs.

Abstract: Introduction: The pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has accelerated an educational revolution, with implications for health care and medical education, generating some insecurities and uncertainties. The article reports the experience of Centro Universitário Christus (Unichristus) about the changes that occurred in the practical scenarios of clinical experiences during the first semester of 2020, marked by social distancing. Experience Report: The services at Clínica Escola de Saúde (CES) were suspended and the associated hospitals stopped receiving students, making the experience of real-life scenarios unfeasible, resulting in the beginning of a project characterized by care of patients with coronavirus infection through telemedicine. The face-to-face nursing team’s participation occurred concomitantly, while students attending the eighth semester of the medical course were present at the consultation through screen sharing using the Google Meet ® program. After the consultation was concluded, there was a discussion about the case and other relevant aspects, similarly to what would happen with a face-to-face experience. In parallel with the project, students also attended lectures that addressed aspects of the disease from primary to tertiary level of health care. Discussion: Patients received care and students were taught through a flexible, innovative, accessible and safe media, following a worldwide trend, generating opportunities for professional development and innovations in medical education. The experience with telemedicine can be complemented by e-learning, allowing the development of a new hybrid teaching model. Conclusion: The current circumstances may result in some educational loss, such as the impossibility to perform physical examinations and to interact better with the health care team and patients; however the technological resources can result in opportunities for changes, improvement and development of teaching methodologies, in line with the current generation of digital natives.

The main argument is shifting from 2D to 3D is in the beginning stages and creating 3D building is not trivial but a complex process. 3D building can be combined with the maps on Google Earth to provide geological knowledge. The location details in Google Map in Satellite view are not up to date. The map’s image shown in 2D mapping modelling should be substituted by 3D modelling to provide clearer visual view of the location. The main objective in this project is to construct an interactive 3D model of UTHM campus Pagoh that provide latest information about the developed building in UTHM Pagoh on Google Earth. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) has to be launced to collect footage of UTHM campus Pagoh and continue 3D modeling by using SketchUp software. Sketch up is one of the modelling software that employed to construct 3D building. The building of UTHM campus Pagoh models is presented in visual video. Lastly, 3D building was merged onto Google Earth and a visualization video is made to demonstrate the UTHM campus Pagoh in the context of real life scene.

The article tries to analyze the phenomenon of the growing numbers of artistic festivals with an intellectual agenda. In the author's opinion the very appearance of artistic festivals in the beginning of the 20th Century was already an intellectual project of healing war wounds through art, which later created the background for the political project of a common union of European countries. Contemporary artistic festivals are as much presentations of different kinds of art as they are intellectual projects that try to introduce various issues: urban studies, ethnical diversity or results of scientific research. Artistic festivals are analyzed here as cultural performances (in order to be presented, issues undertaken by the festivals need to be performed) that have subversive, transformative and normative power. From the viewpoint of performance studies and aesthetics of performativity, contemporary festivals crushed the division between art and events that are part of everyday, "real" life.

We study a simple variant of the house allocation problem (one-sided matching). We demonstrate that agents with recursive preferences may systematically prefer one allocation mechanism to the other, even among mechanisms that are considered to be the same in standard models, in the sense that they induce the same probability distribution over successful matchings. Using this, we propose a new priority groups mechanism and provide conditions under which it is preferred to two popular mechanisms, random top cycle and random serial dictatorship.

BACKGROUND Introducing self-collected health data from patients with diabetes into consultation can be beneficial for both patients and clinicians. Patients can be more proactive in their disease management and clinicians can provide more tailored medical services. In the best situation, EHRs should be able to receive self-collected health data in a medical data standard representation such as FHIR from patients systems such as mHealth apps and to display it directly to their users, the clinicians. However, while Norwegian EHRs are working on implementing FHIR, no solution or graphical interface is available today to display self-collected health data. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to design and assess a dashboard for displaying relevant self-collected health data from patients with diabetes to clinicians. METHODS The design relied on 1) consulting scientific literature dealing with health data presentation in combination with existing system providing self-collected health data to clinicians, and 2) workshops involving patients, clinicians and researchers to define which in-formation should be available and how it should be displayed. The assessment relied on presenting an instance of the dashboard populated with the data collected from one patient with diabetes type 1 (in-house researcher) face to face with six clinicians. We per-formed a qualitative analysis based on usability, functionality and expectation using responses to questionnaires distributed to the six clinicians at the end of the workshops and collected before the participants left. RESULTS We showed a dashboard permitting clinicians to 1) assess the reliability of self-collected health data, 2) list all collected data among medical calculations and 3) point out medical situations to investigate for improving the situation of the patients. The system uses a combination of tables, graphs and other visual representations to display the relevant information. The assessment showed that the clinicians think that this type of solution will be useful during consultations every day, especially for patients living in remote areas or the ones being technologically interested. CONCLUSIONS Displaying self-collected health data along with their reliability and extracted information can ease the introduction of self-collected health data during consultations with clinicians. The pre-study assessment showed that the system has been very well received by the participants and they were eager to start using it during consultations. The system is currently being tested in a medical trial since No-vember 2018 and the first results concerning its assessment in a real-life situation are expected in the beginning of next year (2020).
