Timely response for the maintenance of roads and development of new routes when needed according to the traffic needs due to industrial developments and labour market that involve drive-in drive-out mobility and heavy transit during construction phase

I really enjoyed this preprint. I have one comment: Throughout this manuscript, you reference univariate effect sizes. It seems relevant to reference a multivariate effect (i.e., Mahalanobis D) if only to make the point that even small mean differences in univariate preferences, personality traits, and cognitive abilities can combine to create perceivably large gender/sex differences. I know this topic is debated (and the authors are critical of D and what is means), but this thesis seems incomplete without reference to how preferences/traits/abilities could combine to create differences in what majors/jobs/careers men and women are good at/pursue (on average). I think the commentaries here (https://marcodgdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/delgiudice_etal_2012_comments_reply.pdf) and the examples described here (https://marcodgdotnet.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/delgiudice_2013_is-d_valid_ep.pdf) make the debate and the conceptual utility of D clear.

While the primary purpose of this paper is about 3-D printing, this resource is a great overview of copyright law related to electronic files, whether they be photographs or the files for a 3-D printing project.

This is an especially good resource for those interested in specific examples of the delineation of the functional, non-copyrightable aspect of a work and the artistic expression, copyrightable aspects of a work.

Connection to "3-D print your way to freedom and prosperity." Where as 3-D printing is an imaginative intervention.

President Obama believed that tools like 3-D printing would be very useful for things we do in our everyday lives.

3-D printing is the process of creating an object that is new, by breaking something down and then fabricating it into something of use. This process is very convenient and fast. Unlike the Haltman's essay this discusses the effects of 3-D printing on both social and economical scales.

This seems questionable. If there are "edit" buttons beside each element in a list of elements, must they all have different names, or can their function be inferred from context? I don't think WCAG requires this.

The National Research Council (NRC) is an organization within the Government of Canada dedicated to research and development. Today, the NRC works with members of the Canadian industry to provide meaningful research and development for many different types of products. The areas of research and development that the NRC participates in include aerospace, aquatic and crop resource development, automotive and surface transportation, construction, energy, mining, and environment, human health therapeutics, information and communications technologies, measurement science standards, medical devices, astronomy and astrophysics, ocean, coastal, and river engineering, and security and disruptive technologies. The NRC employs scientists, engineers, and business experts. The mission of the NRC is as follows: “Working with clients and partners, we provide innovation support, strategic research, scientific and technical services to develop and deploy solutions to meet Canada's current and future industrial and societal needs.” The main values of the NRC include impact, accountability, leadership, integrity, and collaboration. The most recent success stories of the NRC include research regarding “green buildings,” math games, mechanical insulation, and many more (Government of Canada 2017). Here is a link to their achievement page where these stories and more are posted: http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/achievements/index.html.

This is interesting in that it is techinically accurate - the difference between the groups was statistically not significant at p=0.06. "A new diagnosis of cancer was confirmed in 109 participants, 45 (3.89%) in the vitamin D3 + calcium group and 64 (5.58%) in the placebo group (difference, 1.69% [95% CI, -0.06% to 3.46%]; P = .06)"

The key points is that cancer is that only 5% of people in the study got a new diagnosis of cancer in 4 years, which is a small percentage, and yet the p value was very close to significance.

Now, non-signifcant is non-significant, however it is unfortunately incredibly common for studies to report higher p valiues as a trend towards significant, a clinically significant change that almost reached statistical significance etc. That the authors adhered so strictly to the standards for significance in the case of vtiamin D, where so few do anymore in other studies, is curious.

This study is one of a number recently that for some incomprehensible reason has decided that monthly dosing of vitamin D is perfectly fine to test. "Interventions Oral vitamin D3 in an initial dose of 200 000 IU, followed a month later by monthly doses of 100 000 IU, or placebo for a median of 3.3 years (range, 2.5-4.2 years)."

The conclusion from this study is valid only for monthly dosing, not for daily dosing.

Another example of a study that used monthly dosing and saw a negative effect in falls in elderly - http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/10.1001/jamainternmed.2015.7148

This is just a straight out lie, as well as an example of misdirection. There are an incredible amount of trials showing associations between low vitamin D levels and various diseases such as cancer, heart disease, depression. Randomized trials are not the only evidence. However, there are randomized trials - as an example - "Cancer incidence was lower in women who received vitamin D/calcium than in those who received the placebo (HR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.46-0.99; P < 0.05). When analysis was confined to cancers diagnosed after the first year, the HR for the group who received vitamin D/calcium was 0.65 (95% CI = 0.42 to 0.99; P <0.05). In proportional hazards modeling, both treatment group and serum 25(OH)D concentration after one year of intervention were significant predictors of cancer risk. Conclusions Supplementing with 2000 IU/day of vitamin D3 and 1500 mg/day of calcium substantially reduced risk of all cancers combined. This finding provides great impetus for improving vitamin D status through advances in vitamin D nutritional policy." https://apha.confex.com/apha/144am/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/368368

Vitamin D deficiency has been shown to be prevalent in people with fatigue, and correction of the deficiency improves the fatigue- "Results:

Prevalence of low vitamin D was 77.2% in patients who presented with fatigue. After normalization of vitamin D levels fatigue symptom scores improved significantly (P < 0.001) in all five subscale categories of fatigue assessment questionnaires.

Conclusion:

The prevalence of low vitamin D is high in patients who present with fatigue and stable chronic medical conditions, if any. Normalization of vitamin D levels with ergocalciferol therapy significantly improves the severity of their fatigue symptoms." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4158648/

Of not also is that the researchers used ergocalciferol, the synthetic D2 form which is less effective than the cholecalciferol D3 form - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15531486 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21177785

Dignity and Gender both. A man is put in charge to maintain order. Also, even through all that they've been through they still choose to elect a person of power to maintain their dignity throughout the situation.

(human) existence. Heidegger rejected "being there" as an interpretation

This is, according to Heidegger, part of the "proof for the 'Dasein of things outside of me'"

I'm not convinced that the authors understand what these mean. Something which is "present-at-hand" is like a broken hammer - it comes to my attention because I can't use it. A hammer which is "ready-to-hand" is one I can pick up and use without paying attention to it.

Every D&D character I ever played was a Halfling thief.

The author is making the point that the term "electronic literature" is slowly gaining popularity. She is also saying that it's broader definition from ELO is being accepted and THE definition.

3 types of rhizo thought

In Freirean terms, we need an alternative to the banking model of learning

this is relevant to rhizo learning. We see knowledge as something we construct, not something that we are given by experts.

We need a concept of the subject that's not grounded in positivism

The philosopher, says Deleuze, creates concepts.

Don't try to understand it (e.g.D&G), If it does not speak to you, try something else.

D has a different view of the subject from trad education
