The objective is to explain the survival of the office of the Varayoc—traditionally held exclusively by men—and the acceptance of Andean women to it as a recognition of ge...
What's trust got to do with research: why not accountability?
Published in Frontiers in Research Metrics and Analytics
This paper explores the intricate dynamics of trust, power, and vulnerability in the relationship between researchers and study participants/communities in the field of bioethics. The power and knowledge imbalances between researchers and participants create a structural vulnerability for the latter. While trust-building is important between resear...
The politics between power and digital capital in China's cyberspace: a case study of Chinese digital games
Published in Frontiers in Communication
Based on a case study of digital games, this paper explores the politics between power and digital capital ingrained in the rapidly expanding Chinese cyberspace. The results show that digital capital and power in cyberspace form a paradoxical relationship that produces four sorts of politics: alliance, semi-alliance, disjunction, and semi-disjuncti...
Reliability of Fitness Assessments in Children With Emotional and Behavioral Difficulties.
Published in Pediatric exercise science
Examine the reliability of field-based fitness assessments in school-aged children with emotional or behavioral difficulties (EBD). Understanding the impact of fitness on physical activity participation for children with EBD is limited by our ability to reliably measure it. Fifteen children aged 7-12 years with EBD completed 7 assessments-standing ...
Using AB Designs With Nonoverlap Effect Size Measures to Support Clinical Decision-Making: A Monte Carlo Validation.
Published in Behavior modification
Single-case experimental designs often require extended baselines or the withdrawal of treatment, which may not be feasible or ethical in some practical settings. The quasi-experimental AB design is a potential alternative, but more research is needed on its validity. The purpose of our study was to examine the validity of using nonoverlap measures...

À partir d'une analyse dramaturgique du texte originel d...
Trajectory generation based on power for urban air mobility
Published in Frontiers in Aerospace Engineering
A method of generating trajectories based on power is proposed for Urban Air Taxis. The method is simpler and more direct than traditional methods because it does not require a detailed aircraft model or a flight control model. Instead, it allows the user to specify the route, the static longitudinal profile (altitude as a function of distance), an...
