The scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations and answer questions. Even though we show the scientific method as a series of steps, keep in mind that new information or thinking might cause a scientist to back up and repeat steps at any point during the process. Whether you are doing a science fair project, a classroom science activity, independent research, or any other hands-on science inquiry understanding the steps of the scientific method will help you focus your scientific question and work through your observations and data to answer the question as well as possible.

Conservación de documentos: instalaciones, control, manejo y medidas de seguridad Capítulo 6: La conservación de documentos es un proceso archivístico que consiste en mantener la integridad física del soporte y de la información contenida en los documentos, a través de la implementación de medidas de preservación y restauración. Al respecto, se debe tomar en cuenta el axioma que dice: “siempre será mejor preservar que restaurar”. Existe un conjunto de factores que constantemente ponen en riesgo la integridad física de nuestros documentos. a) El local de archivos El local deberá estar ubicado distante de los lugares que puedan ocasionar un siniestro y también lugares excesivamente húmedos. El local de archivo debe tener básicamente tres ambientes: área de trabajo técnico y administrativo, depósitos y área de atención al usuario (oficina). Es fundamental tener en cuenta que las instalaciones eléctricas y sanitarias deberán conservarse en perfecto estado y el mobiliario archivístico (estantes, archivadores verticales, mapotecas, etc.) deben ser preferentemente de metal.
Erasmus. Pas d'âge pour demander sa bourse Il n’y a pas de limite d’âge pour partir en Erasmus. La preuve : l’année prochaine, le doyen des étudiants qui participeront au programme d’échange européen aura… 80 ans. Un des principes de l’université publique, c’est qu’on peut reprendre ses études à n’importe quel moment de sa vie. Miguel Castillo l’a bien compris. L’octogénaire connaît la réputation de “fêtards” qui s’attachent aux étudiants en Erasmus. Je vais essayer, dans la mesure de mes moyens, de suivre les traces de ceux qui m’ont précédé. Tout le monde (ou presque) peut partir en Erasmus Ce n’est pas la première fois qu’un tel cas se présente : en 2009, le plus jeune participant avait 17 ans et le plus âgé en avait 70. Depuis trente ans, 5 millions de personnes sont parties à l’étranger avec Erasmus.
Popular Literature vs. Scholarly Peer-Reviewed Literature: What's the Difference? | Rutgers University Libraries Popular Literature Popular literature is written by journalists, who are employed by the magazine for which they write. Journalists cover news and current events in a field, write profiles of people, places, or events, and express political opinions. Some examples of popular literature are: The New York Times Newsweek National Geographic Psychology Today Natural History The Nation New Republic Science News Scholarly Literature Scholarly literature is written by researchers who are experts in their field. Journal of American History Psychological Review Nature Annals of the National Academy of Science Acta Archaeologia James Joyce Quarterly Journal of the American Musicological Society Trade and Professional Literature Trade and professional literature resembles scholarly literature in that it is written by people working in the field.

Procedure [Types of Variables] [Activity #1] [Activity #2] [Activity #3] [Steps to Success] [Move Beyond] You're doing great! You've chosen a topic and asked a question. The procedure is a set of very specific instruction about how you are going to conduct your experiment. Sadly, no one could eat the sandwich on the left. Variables Details also help to control variables in your experiment. Independent Variable The independent variable is the one that YOU choose to help you answer your question. If there's more than one independent variable, the experiment becomes flawed because you can't be sure what caused the changes you observed. Activity #1: Start Thinking! Look at the image to the right. Take some time to think about how this student might write the procedure for this experiment: What are the controlled variables? Did you think about it? Activity #2: It's all in the details! View this well-written experiment design on Science Buddies, Give It a Lift with a Lever. Ready to check your knowledge?
What is Knowledge Management? The full scope of knowledge management (KM) is not something that is universally accepted. However, before one looks at the differences in the definitions, let's examine the similarities. KM is about making the right knowledge available to the right people. Where the disagreement sometimes occurs is in conjunction with the creation of new knowledge. Bukowitz and Williams (1999) link KM directly to tactical and strategic requirements. A similarly broad definition is presented by Davenport & Prusak (2000), which states that KM "is managing the corporation's knowledge through a systematically and organizationally specified process for acquiring, organizing, sustaining, applying, sharing and renewing both the tacit and explicit knowledge of employees to enhance organizational performance and create value."

How to stand up to your inner critic iStock We all have two different voices inside us: one that is nurturing, and one that is critical; one that lifts up, and one that weighs us down. Both of these voices have a role to play. First, try to observe how self-criticism operates inside you. When the inner critic starts pounding away, know that your inner nurturer is a refuge and an ally. Be aware of anger at yourself that seems out of proportion to what happened. Consider how self-critical attitudes developed inside you, perhaps when you were younger. When the inner critic starts pounding away, turn to your inner nurturer as a refuge and an ally. Try regarding your inner critic as something that lacks credibility — imagine it as a ridiculous character, like a silly cartoon villain. It may sound silly, but you could imagine a “caring committee” inside yourself with different characters who represent various kinds of support and wisdom. Argue against your inner critic, and truly intend to win.
