Perspectives Sample Clauses
The "Perspectives" clause defines how the viewpoints, opinions, or interpretations of the parties are to be considered or represented within the agreement. In practice, this clause may specify that each party's perspective is acknowledged, or that certain statements reflect the understanding or intent of one or both parties, rather than objective fact. Its core function is to clarify that subjective views or intentions are recognized within the contract, helping to prevent misunderstandings or disputes over differing interpretations.
Perspectives. We must look beyond certain triumphalist discourses of a globalized, Anglophone uniformity in order to understand better the complexity and diversity – linguistic, cultural, political – of the world in which we live. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2003, p. 14 Le titre ‘perspectives’ renvoie au double sens de ce terme. ‘Perspective’ signifie d’abord angle d’approche, point du vue : j’expose en effet ici l’ensemble des outils théoriques à l’aide desquels j’aborde les textes de ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ dans cette étude. Mais ‘perspective’ peut également être compris dans le sens d’ouverture, d’horizon, de voie à explorer. Car la rencontre d’un appareil théorique quel qu’il soit avec un texte particulier est l’occasion de nouveaux questionnements, non seulement en direction du texte mais aussi des théories et des grilles de lecture utilisées. Ainsi, par exemple, si une ‘lecture postcoloniale’ de Monénembo permet un nouvel éclairage de son écriture, dans un mouvement de retour, une telle lecture peut mettre à jour les lacunes ou les points aveugles de cette approche théorique, et contribuer ainsi à la faire avancer. Par souci de clarté, j’ai choisi de présenter les perspectives théoriques dans des sous parties distinctes. J’y explicite chaque fois les possibilités de ces perspectives, mais aussi leurs limites et les problèmes qu’elles posent pour l’appréhension des textes africains francophones. Dans la pratique des études littéraires, les différentes approches théoriques et discursives exposées ici ne forment pas des ensembles séparés les uns des autres par des frontières qu’on pourrait tracer comme je semble le faire. Certes, les points de divergence existent, qu’ils soient historiques, idéologiques, géographiques ou linguistiques. Mais les points d’intersection sont tout aussi nombreux. Mes analyses des textes de ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ montrent comment différents concepts développés, à diverses époques et en divers lieux, par différents discours et théories – postcolonialisme, francophonie littéraire, l’africanisme ou écritures migrantes – se rejoignent, se répondent et/ou se complètent pour la discussion d’un texte particulier.

Perspectives. A future ambition for the WdKA Hybrid Publishing lab is to interweave artistic research within RASL with experimental and hybrid publications. In doing so, it should act not as a design bureau but as a research partner. Models for this do not only exist in experimental scholarship like ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇’, but also in contemporary art that transgresses the boundaries between visual art, visual culture research, essayism and critical theory. This type of art has gained prominence in the last couple of years: examples include the video works of ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ work that exists in between conceptual art, academic philosophy and social critique; and the design research of the Metahaven design collective (consisting of WdKA alumni ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇). The question remains whether such work will conversely inspire new forms and non- traditional media in academic scholarship, continuing where ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and others left off. New partnerships between art and scholarship could also be forged for empirical research with its increasing reliance on complex (often also interactive and real-time) visualizations for which traditional paper and textbook formats are no longer adequate, 4 ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ index card-based information systems created in Belgium between 1895 to 1934, were forerunners of modern search engines. ▇▇▇▇’▇ essay “As We May Think” and key passages of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ book-manifesto Computer Lib/Dream Machines are included in (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2003). These texts greatly influenced the original architecture of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s. and where visuals are no longer just illustrations but amount to—as (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 2014b) puts it—“forms of knowledge production”. New collaborative, audiovisual and Open Access forms of research publishing radically question the current status quo of academic book and journal publishing. Clearly, the renewal of publishing has to come from art and critical scholarship, as it can no longer be expected from a conservative publishing industry that, for the most part, is preoccupied with guarding its territory. Conversely, publishing as an ethos of sharing challenges the arts: If they can no longer be legitimized through the Western cultural canon, if contemporary art becomes too corrupted by art market speculation to still be credible as a critical practice, if visual culture from outside the art and design field becomes more influential for culture at large, what ...
Perspectives. In sum, more than one out of three Dutch medical PhD candidates lack high quality motivation and/or have a high amount of low quality motivation (chapter 7). As high quality motivation improves work engagement, programme persistence and research ambitions, whilst low quality motivation increases burn-out and drop-out intentions (chapter 3, 7, 8),27,31,39-41 a substantial amount of PhD candidates are at risk of dropping out the clinician- scientist pipeline during or soon after their PhD based on their motivation. Our outcomes may contribute to understanding the widely reported increasing concerns regarding well- being and, subsequently, attrition rates in doctoral education.39,42-44 In this way, quality of motivation seem particularly important when aiming to improve the clinician-scientist pipeline and to reverse the trend towards a declining clinician-scientist workforce. According to our findings, next to improving quantity of the supply (i.e. stimulating students and doctors to enter the pipeline), we should aim to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the quality of this supply (i.e. motivation of students and PhD candidates). More specific, we should address threats to and improve quality of motivation for research while attracting, training and retaining (future) clinician-scientists to prevent them leaking out the pipeline. This thesis offers some insight in stimulating high quality motivation and/or limiting low quality motivation for research among (future) clinician-scientists. Within our studies, multiple constructs emerged and were examined on their relationship with high quality of motivation for research. Our studies highlighted the importance of values, positive research perceptions, relatedness, autonomy, and research self-efficacy beliefs in enhancing high quality motivation (chapter 3, 7 and 8). This is substantiated by different motivational theories; Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), Expectancy Value Theory (EVT), and Self-Determination Theory (SDT). The first theory proposes that, among others, attitudes and perceived behavioural control are prerequisites for motivation, which in turn is related to a certain behaviour.45 Attitudes are a reflection of one's values.46 Attitudes as mentioned within TPB are defined as favourable or unfavourable perceptions of a certain behaviour of interest. Perceived behavioural control refers to a person's perception of the ease or difficulty of performing the behaviour of interest. This is in line with the second theory (EVT), s...
Perspectives. The application of vendor-specific software impedes harmonization of practices for intact data processing, particularly in the case of deconvolution as these tools differ in important parameters used for the generation a deconvoluted spectrum.12,13,17 Thus, the development of tools that are capable of handling multiple data formats, such as the data processing steps presented in this study, is an important development towards developing consistent practices in intact protein data processing. In addition, the performance of a m/z-based migration time alignment, as demonstrated here, may also facilitate automated processing of extracted ion peaks by defining the same integration window in all samples. As a result, in terms of throughput and accuracy, this would enable a fairer comparison between the XIC and deconvolution approaches to be performed.
Perspectives. The knowledge base of primary mathematics teacher education (Pabo), the area in which this study takes place, can be distinguished in two ways from other fields in teacher training. In the first place the nature of the mathematical knowledge requires a constructive commitment and much effort to become ‘owner’ of the specific insights and procedures. Furthermore, the developments over the last thirty years in this area at the Dutch Pabos led to an approach of integrating subject matter, pedagogical content matter and school practice (Goffree, 1979; Goffree & ▇▇▇▇, 1995; ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇, 1999). However, such an approach does not lead naturally to student teachers’ integration of theory and practice. That will perhaps happen if student teachers can use a ‘rich’ learning environment, for example the multimedia interactive learning environment MILE. Further research should show how student teachers link theory and practice if they have such a learning environment at their disposal; further study will also express the quality of their activities. Next, as mentioned in section 2.3.4, we will elaborate further on the role of theory in mathematics teacher education.
Perspectives. This thesis presents an overview of various plaque stabilizing strategies. It was divided into two parts, the first focussing on matrix and cell homeostasis, while the second focussed mainly on inflammation. We have demonstrated that viral protease inhibitors Serp-1 and Serp-2 offer the potential of stabilizing atherosclerotic lesions in different disease and animal models. Also, we have firmly established that the immunosuppressive drug FK506 displays a marked plaque stabilizing capacity. These studies may have therapeutic implications, although of course the extrapolation from mice to the human situation is difficult and side effects of both strategies still need to be mapped. In addition, we describe in Chapters 4 and 6 plaque components that contribute to plaque instability and plaque thrombogenicity. The atherosclerotic plaque was found to contain an increasing amount of the highly thrombogenic lipid LPA during lesion progression, which can at least in part be accounted for by increased intraplaque production of LPA. We have identified new protein targets for correction of the LPA homeostasis that could lead to novel strategies for intervention in atherothrombosis. Moreover, the role of activated adventitial mast cells was delineated, revealing that mast cell activation indeed promotes plaque destabilization by increasing macrophage apoptosis, vascular leakage and intraplaque hemorrhage. This study also underlined the relevance of the adventitia for lesion development and CVD. Further study of adventitial inflammation and the cellular composition of the adventitia will give more insight into the role of the adventitia in atherosclerotic plaque development. Also, the identification of the potential trigger of mast cell activation in the adventitia can lead to plaque stabilization. In this thesis, mast cell stabilization already leads to reduced plaque instability, which could be an effective new therapeutic entry in the prevention of acute coronary syndromes or its sequelae. Finally, a new research model is described, which allows faster and more efficient research with respect to leukocyte genes in atherosclerotic plaque development. Using this new technique, more potential candidates for future therapeutic interventions with respect to plaque stabilization and reduction of plaque thrombogenicity can be discovered. References

The Workplace and Employee Survey, however, contains the most comprehensive and uniform list of settlement provi- sions. Several Statistics Canada surveys such as the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics, and the Labour Force Survey also contain information on several well-known provisions. Policies to reduce risk of accidents, injuries and disease in the workplace. This also includes stress. Provisions to ensure that no one is denied employment or promotion for reasons unrelated to their ability (for exam- ple, sex, race or disability). Policies ensuring that pay is related to the skills required to do the job regardless of who does it, and also that the pay for jobs with similar skills will be the same. Various provisions giving workers job protection in the event of automation or new production methods or products. The hiring of a person or company from outside the busi- ness, under contract, to perform a specific task. Contract- ing out may affect career advancement and may even result in layoff. Policies allowing employees to receive education and train- ing to meet the requirements of their position and, in some cases, to advance their career. A cost-of-living allowance clause provides pay increases at specified periods during the life of a contract in line with increases in the consumer price index. ◼ Re f e r en c ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. 2002. “Unionization and fringe benefits.” Perspectives on Labour and Income (Statistics Canada, catalogue 75-001-XIE).
