Reflective statements

Show respect and frequently acknowledge through appropriate body language and ahums and reflecting statements. 

Following are two versions of a PSM team s mission statement. The first Is a draft prepared in advance of such a team s first meeting the second reflects group consensus and is designed for dissemination to company employees. 

In a 1959 lecture at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, Lise Meitner reflected that Life need not be easy, provided that it is not empty. Life was not easy for any Jewish woman scientist in Germany in the first half of the twentieth century, and Meitner certainly had her own experience in mind when she made this statement. 

Engineers are honest, truthful, and fair in presenting information and in making public statements reflecting on professional matters and their professional role. 

The Clausius and Kelvin-Planck statements and the Carnot principle reflect a historical interest in increasing the efficiency of engines. While the... 

At the beginning of the field frials, the Preknowledge Test and the Test of Gained Knowledge were manually processed later on data were processed by MS Excel. The outlines of the reflective diaries were carefully read through, teachers statements categorised, and the most representative statements extracted. 

In different places in the outlines of teachers reflective diaries there are statements indicating that students interest in learning about chemical reactions has increased in comparison to previous years. Teachers mentioned the increase of students interest in the context of all three main factors that are incorporated in the LON approach, i.e. (1) Eveiyday life situations as the foundation of the learning process. (2) The learning process involves many students activities. (3) Chemical reactions are consistently presented in all three types of representation. Consequently, we assnme that those three factors are the main reasons for the increased interest of students in learning about chemical reactions. Each of the listed factors is described in detail below ... 

Everyday life situations are the foundation of the learning process Stndents understood that chemical reaction go on in everyday life and are therefore of interest to them. That point seemed to be important to all of the participating teachers since in many places in their reflective diaries they made statements like e.g. ... 

The learning process involves many students"activities Students interest increased because they liked playing an active role in the learning process (e.g. hands on experiments, constraction of representations of chemical reactions with the use of models). Those who were not used to such an approach from earlier teaching also improved their experimental skills and gained experiences through the work with models. In the reflective diaries of all the teachers, statements to support this point could be found as follows ... 

The traditional eharaeterisation of an electron density in a crystal amounts to a statement that the density is invariant under all operations of the space group of the crystal. The standard notation for sueh an operation is (Rim), where R stands for the point group part (rotations, reflections, inversion and combinations of these) and the direct lattice vector m denotes the translational part. When such an operation works on a vector r we get... 

A quality assurance program statement listing the types of inspections made and their dates, including the phases inspected, and the dates when any inspection results were reported to management, to the Study Director, and to any Principal Investigators, if applicable. This statement would also serve to confirm that the final report reflects the raw data. 

Acknowledgment and Personal Statement, the selection of material in the examples and schemes does not reflect priority, importance, or generality. It was beyond our capacity to systematically survey the many examples that exist for most reaction types, and the examples included are those that came to our attention through literature searches and reviews. 

It may be noted that the statement made above—that the surface potential in the electrolyte phase does not depend on the orientation of the crystal face—is necessarily an assumption, as is the neglect of S s1- It is another example of separation of metal and electrolyte contributions to a property of the interface, which can only be done theoretically. In fact, a recent article29 has discussed the influence of the atomic structure of the metal surface for solid metals on the water dipoles of the compact layer. Different crystal faces can allow different degrees of interpenetration of species of the electrolyte and the metal surface layer. Nonuniformities in the directions parallel to the surface may be reflected in the results of capacitance measurements, as well as optical measurements. 

It is twenty-five years since the first edition was published, and at the beginning of the twenty-first century it seems appropriate to reflect on the directions in which analytical chemistry is developing. The opening statements from the preface to the first edition are as relevant now as they were in 1975, viz... 

Calculating the effect size of a therapeutic intervention is central (step 3 in Box 3.3). Different ways to calculate effects sizes can be applied as described in Table 3.2. All statements in this box actually describe the effect sizes correctly. Is the efficacy higher for drug A than for drug B Probably not since the relative risk reduction is not identical. Instead the result probably reflects other differences such as higher morbidity (blood pressure, other risk factors, or diseases) in case A.
