not been without its critics. Some critics have accused proponents of life-style interventions of promoting a victim-blaming ideology by neglecting the importance of social influences on health and disease. This article proposes an ecological model for health promotion which focuses atten-tion on both
Ecology of the family as a context for human development: Research perspectives.
- Developmental Psychology,
, 1986
"... This review collates and examines critically a theoretically convergent but widely dispersed body of research on the influence of external environments on the functioning of families as contexts of human development. Investigations falling within this expanding domain include studies of the interac ..."

Formalising trust as a computational concept
, 1994
"... Trust is a judgement of unquestionable utility — as humans we use it every day of our lives. However, trust has suffered from an imperfect understanding, a plethora of definitions, and informal use in the literature and in everyday life. It is common to say “I trust you, ” but what does that mean? T ..."

Eviction of Misbehaving and Faulty Nodes in Vehicular Networks
- IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS
, 2007
"... Vehicular networks (VNs) are emerging, among civilian applications, as a convincing instantiation of the mobile networking technology. However, security is a critical factor and a significant challenge to be met. Misbehaving or faulty network nodes have to be detected and prevented from disrupting n ..."

Existing networks rely mainly on node certificate revocation for attacker eviction, but the lack of an omnipresent infrastructure in VNs may unacceptably delay the retrieval of the most recent and relevant
Risky families: Family social environments and the mental and physical health of offspring
- Psychological Bulletin
, 2002
"... Risky families are characterized by conflict and aggression and by relationships that are cold, unsupportive, and neglectful. These family characteristics create vulnerabilities and/or interact with genetically based vulnerabilities in offspring that produce disruptions in psychosocial functioning ( ..."

We conclude that childhood family environments represent vital links for understanding mental and physical health across the life span. Good health begins early in life. In the first years of childhood
An instructional design framework for authentic learning environments
- Educational Technology Research and Development
, 2000
"... The instructional technology community is in the midst of a philosophical shift from a behaviorist to a constructivist framework, a move that may begin to address the growing rift between formal school learning and real-life learning. One theory of learning that has the capacity to promote authentic ..."

authentic learning is that of situated learning. The purpose of this three part study was firstly, to identify critical characteristics of a situated learning environment from the extensive literature base on the subject; secondly, to operationalise the critical characteristics of a situated learning
ADIFOR -- Generating Derivative Codes from Fortran Programs
, 1992
"... The numerical methods employed in the solution of many scientific computing problems require the computation of derivatives of a function f: Rn! Rm. Both the accuracy and the computational requirements of the derivative computation are usually of critical importance for the robustness and speed of ..."

Longer-term effects of Head Start
- American Economic Review
, 2002
