This document discusses a study on the communication strategies used by non-native Spanish speakers in online chat conversations. The study involved 18 participants split into two groups - one experimental group of non-native Spanish speakers chatting with each other, and one control group of non-native Spanish speakers chatting with a native Spanish speaker. Over 15 chat sessions, the researchers analyzed which communication strategies the non-native speakers used, how their strategies differed between chatting with other non-natives versus a native, and the effectiveness of different strategies. Previous research on communication strategy use in computer-mediated communication was also reviewed.
This document describes a course called Commercial & Technical Spanish (SPA 302) taught by Francisco Salgado-Robles. The course objectives are to expose students to basic business concepts in the Spanish-speaking world and develop Spanish proficiency. The course components include online modules, in-class activities focused on communication, and a final project. The course was redesigned with a grant from the A&S-CELT Course Redesign Institute.
Chinese New Year is celebrated from the first day of the lunar new year through the 15th day. Traditions include giving red envelopes with money to children and unmarried individuals, lighting firecrackers to scare away evil spirits, and having family dinners. The color red and "Fu" characters are used decoratively to represent good fortune. People visit relatives and wear new clothing to celebrate the new year.
The document outlines the goals and topics covered in a course on internal medicine propedeutics for dentists. The goals are to help dentists recognize potential medical issues in their patients, discover signs of systemic disease, and improve communication with physicians. The course covers techniques for medical history taking and physical examination, with a focus on examining major body systems like the respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary systems. Common diseases of each system are also discussed. The document provides details on taking a comprehensive medical history, including sections on the patient's chief complaint, present illness, past medical history, family history, social history, and review of all organ systems.

This course examines linguistic diversity in Spain and its representation in the European Union. It will analyze three languages officially recognized in Spain in addition to Spanish: Galician, Basque, and Catalan. The course will compare the structures of these languages and the effects of language contact. It will also consider the socio-historical context of the languages and the influence of language policy and conflict. Students will maintain blogs to discuss weekly readings and participate in oral presentations. Their final project will be a research paper on a course topic in Spanish. Class participation, blog assignments, presentations, and the final paper will be graded.

A 24-year-old female presents to her GP with abdominal pain. The document provides guidance on taking a thorough patient history, including asking open-ended questions about the chief complaint, conducting a review of systems, enquiring about medical/surgical history, medications, lifestyle/social factors, and family history. It emphasizes asking follow-up questions to fully characterize the patient's symptoms and assess for potential serious underlying conditions.
This document explores ideas for visual styles and philosophies for a scrapbook about imagining a new visual philosophy for ImagineTM. It includes quotes about imagination, inspiration, and the power of ideas to influence children. Distinct visual styles are presented as jumping off points to spark new ideas for touching an entire generation the way the film did.

Digitec Galaxus AG owns two online retail brands, Digitec and Galaxus, with a combined turnover of 700 million EUR in 2015. The company utilizes an omnichannel strategy with both online shopping and 8 showrooms. Requirements engineering at Digitec Galaxus follows the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) adapted to their needs. Requirements are managed at multiple levels including strategic themes, initiatives (epics), features, and user stories. Feedback loops ensure alignment between levels and tools like Kanban boards and story mapping are used.
The document discusses 7 critical success factors (CSFs) for software requirements: 1) having a shared understanding of what requirements are, 2) clearly defined business requirements, 3) trained business analysts, 4) collaborative partnerships with customers, 5) rigorous requirements prioritization, 6) an incremental approach to requirements development, and 7) anticipating and accommodating change. It provides details on each CSF and emphasizes the importance of requirements for accelerating development and avoiding surprises. The document encourages readers to assess their own challenges and define practices to address them.

The document discusses literature on second language acquisition and computer-assisted language learning. It covers the role of computer-mediated communication technologies in teaching foreign languages, competing theories of SLA and CALL, categories of CMC technologies including wired and wireless connectivity, asynchronous and synchronous CMC, and task-based language instruction. The research indicates that CALL can positively impact sociocultural issues, affect, language awareness, language production, and language skills.
