The document discusses how behaviors and traits can spread through social networks. It presents research showing that obesity, smoking, drinking, and happiness levels clustered within social networks. Additional studies found that tastes in movies and generosity also spread through social networks. Online networks on Facebook were also found to mirror real-world social networks in how behaviors and interests cluster. The spread occurs through social influence within degrees of connections in a person's social network.

The various studies showed that sports and exercise participation lowered recidivism rates by juvenile delinquents, made sports participants less likely to engage in various criminal behaviors, and found a link between sports participation in schools and lower incidence of serious crime and suspension. These and other studies show strong evidence that sports programs are an important way to reduce crime rates and increase student engagement.

El documento analiza las similitudes y diferencias entre el nominalismo de Pedro Abelardo en el siglo XII y el materialismo filosófico contemporáneo. Sostiene que el nominalismo de Abelardo puede considerarse una forma temprana de materialismo dado que rechaza los universales en favor de lo individual y concreto. Sin embargo, Abelardo mantenía una perspectiva teológica cristiana que lo alejaba de un materialismo estricto, a diferencia del materialismo filosófico actual.

O documento recomenda que os professores bibliotecários dos novos agrupamentos (1) conheçam o território da escola, (2) definam as funções da equipa e coordenador, e (3) uniformizem documentos e procedimentos entre as bibliotecas do agrupamento.
A rule was created in a space that checked out all items when updated; additional content was then added to the space but became checked out, contrary to expectations stated in Alfresco help documentation.
El documento propone cambiar el método de enseñanza tradicional (pedir un libro, sentar a los alumnos alfabéticamente, exámenes por tema) hacia un enfoque más activo y basado en proyectos donde se olviden libros y pupitres y se usen más ordenadores, bibliotecas, asambleas, presentaciones orales y público ajeno a la escuela.
The document discusses paper consumption and its environmental impacts. It notes that the average North American consumes much more paper than people in Africa or Asia. Switching from virgin to recycled paper can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 47% and energy use by 27%. While e-books have a lower carbon footprint than printed books over several years of use, Princeton University used over 1000 tons of office paper last year, with only 7% containing post-consumer recycled content.

El documento discute la situación de los profesores interinos en Asturias. Se ofrecen pocas plazas y oportunidades, dejando a muchos docentes en situaciones temporales. Además, salen pocas oposiciones con poca frecuencia. El acuerdo actual sobre las listas de interinos tiene imprecisiones y no ha sido firmado por dos sindicatos importantes, indicando que es mejorable. Se necesitan más negociaciones para lograr un acuerdo justo que otorgue más estabilidad a los profesores interinos.

Lansing has been lacking in ethical leadership. And the taxpayers are weary of
the self-centered culture
