STUDY PROCEDURE Sample Clauses
STUDY PROCEDURE. It provides a proposed study sequence and a list of homework questions from the textbook for that chapter. POWERPOINT SLIDES and LECTURE RECORDING via VOICETHREAD: PowerPoint slides and lecture recording (narrated PowerPoint slides) serve as a summary of each module; they do not replace the textbook. There are multiple sets of PowerPoint slides grouped by topics for each module. Narrated PowerPoint slides are uploaded to the VoiceThread, web-conferencing software. Majority of slides have recording by the instructor; only few that need no further explanations left as they are with no recording. Links to the VoiceThread are provided in each module. Connect™: Connect™ is “a web-based assignment and assessment platform that helps students connect coursework and learning to maximize their performance.” Upon completion of each module, students are required to complete homework assignments on Connect™. Homework problems for each chapter are available on the class website at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/class/m-chen-summer-ii-2018-online-class-1. The due dates are also posted on this website. Students may have unlimited number of attempts, and the highest grade from all attempts will be recorded and posted on Blackboard after the due date. Please note that the homework problems are basically the same as the problems at the end of each chapter. The solutions to the homework assignment will be available on the same website after the homework is due. Furthermore, the same set of problems but with different numbers in each problem will be posted for practice purpose after the homework is due. For each module, students follow the process as suggested below and repeat as many times as needed: •Read suggested pages from the Study Procedure. Virtual Lecture •View and listen PowerPoint slides with narration via VoiceThread. •Go over Chapter Review and Self- test Problems as suggested in Study Procedure. •Go over Critical Thinking and Concept Review. Homework •Work on homework assignment from Connect™. If not successful, repeat step 1 and 2 Review QUIZZES: QUIZZES: There is one quiz for each module. Students should follow the timeline set up on page 11 of the syllabus for each learning unit. Each quiz and homework will close on the night of the posted due date (see Summer II 2018 Quiz and Exam Schedule posted on Blackboard for details). Students have two attempts to each quiz and the highest score of two attempts will be recorded on Blackboard. (However, to help students ...
STUDY PROCEDURE. Every participant will come to the university once for a test session of about 2 hours (Figure 3). At the start of the session, the procedure will be explained and the sensors (i.e. acoustic, PPG sensor and EMG) will be placed. Before starting the actual measurements, some data will be collected as control measurements and for the purpose of calibration. These include recordings while the participant talks (i.e. reads a book section), swallows with an empty mouth, coughs and does nothing. Afterwards the participant will receive small portions of commonly consumed food products (section 2.6.4), varying in structure, in random order. The participants are requested to consume these foods the way they would normally do. However, they need to take at least 5 bites/sips of the food product or eat from it for at least 2 minutes. Therefore the participants do not need to finish any of the portions, but they can if they want to. The total amount of food products provided to the participants, excluding drinks, will not exceed 500g. Additionally, simple activities will be included at random moments during the measurements; either while eating a food (i.e., talking and drinking water in case of solids and semi-solids), or in between foods (i.e., the same activities as during the control measurements). Finally, at the end of a test session, participants will fill in a questionnaire including questions about the level of comfort experienced when wearing the sensors and whether they were able to eat like they would normally do.
STUDY PROCEDURE. At the beginning of the experimental days, the investigators will meet with the participating students, who they will be fitted with the activity sensors and will fill in the daily questionnaires. Then the students will go through their usual school activities. At lunch time, they will be served the prearranged food (section 5.1.4.2) and they will be guided to the pre- arranged eating stations where they will answer the eating-related questionnaires and they will eat their meals using Mandometers V4. Approximately 1 hour after the end of the lunch, they will be received in an especially prepared area where they will remain for at least 1.5 hours, wearing the V1 chewing sensor. At a time point, randomised during the last 1/3 of this time period, the students will be directed to visit the snacking station and receive a snack (section
STUDY PROCEDURE. Classification/Compensation studies shall be conducted on a four year cycle that will include all classifications in the bargaining unit and be conducted by an in-house joint committee. Definitions, procedures, timelines and forms for this procedure are included in this Agreement as Appendix F. Any classification, that includes a requirement to be bilingual shall be placed on the salary schedule at a level that compensates for this requirement. If job descriptions for these positions from comparable districts do not require bilingual skills, the MCOE level placement shall be at least 5% higher than the average.
STUDY PROCEDURE. I am asking for your permission to gather data from you and your child who is in treatment here. If you agree to participate and to permit your child to participate in this study, your child will have a decision about whether they want to join in this study. If your child decides to participate, he/she will fill out four brief surveys regarding their behaviors and relationships. All four surveys can be completed in approximately twenty minutes. I will also gather some demographic information, such as age, race, gender and diagnostic information from their chart at the program. You will be asked to complete two surveys, which will take approximately ten to fifteen minutes of your time. If you and your child agree to be involved in this study, you and he/she will be asked to fill out the surveys six times, on the first and last days in this program and then three, six, twelve and twenty-four months after treatment ends.
STUDY PROCEDURE. This study is an international prospective, open-label, multi-center, observational study. The study procedure will be performed under general anesthesia with a paralytic agent to prevent muscle excitation during the NanoKnife procedure. The patients will be sterilely prepared and draped according to the standard of care. The NanoKnife procedure will be performed in accordance with the FDA-cleared Instructions for Use (IFU). This observational study will use paper and electronic versions of the CRF. Participating countries will decide whether the paper version and/or the e-version will be available to the local (country) physicians for documenting their treatment data. When a country decides to use both versions, study sites will be able to choose to use the paper or the electronic version of the CRF at the beginning of the study. In general, all documents of the paper version will be available as e-forms in the online version of the study. Additionally, an online analysis tool will be available for the e-version, which will enable the physicians to compare their collected raw sum data (e. g. diagnosis, staging and grading of disease, age of patients, outcome etc.) online with the pooled raw sum data of other online participating physicians in their country, continent and/or globally. All data will be specially protected and comparison of data will be performed in an anonymous fashion. The online available analysis tool will be activated when a reasonable number of data (data from 500 patients) has been collected. There will be no comparable tool for the paper version. In the e-version, physicians will enter the data directly into a central database on the special screen form of the CRF; the only required equipment being a computer with standard browser and an internet connection. Physicians will log-in with a individual username and password to assure that data entry and connection are protected. During data entry, corrections can be made, but once the data has been verified and submitted by the physician, no changes in the data will be permitted.
STUDY PROCEDURE. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions took place in the local language, Hausa. Interviews and focus groups were recorded with digital audio recorders and later transcribed into French. During the in-depth interviews, a single interviewer asked questions and took notes, while during the focus group discussions, one interviewer asked questions, while the second interviewer was employed to take notes. Following the interviews and focus groups, the study team met to discuss the key findings in order to include additional lines of query or follow-up questions in subsequent interviews.
STUDY PROCEDURE. All the experimental meals are served during lunch time. Consecutive meals are separated by approximately one week. The participants are asked to refrain from eating for at least three hours before the meal and their breakfasts are standardised the days of the experimental sessions. No reading materials or use of electronic devices are allowed during the meals, in an effort to minimize the external effects on eating behaviour. For each of the meals, amounts of food enough to create an ad libitum feeling (from 700g to 1.5kg depending on the kind of food), is presented on an external food tray (i.e., not placed on the Mandometer). The subject is then asked to add food on the plate placed on the Mandometer scale and they are also informed that they are allowed to add food freely during the meal. Before the meal is initiated the participants have to fill in the mood and appetite questionnaires. Then the meal initiates and the investigators exit the room. When the meal is concluded the appetite and taste questionnaires are filled in again. The script for a typical experimental meal session can be seen in Figure 16.
