Cognitive parameters. Broadly, a person’s cognition refers to the underlying brain processes that make it possible for them to think, remember and learn. Cognition can be divided in to sub divisions which fall in to the categories below:  Perception  Attention  Language  Memory  Problem solving  Reasoning  Executive functioning The DOREMI intervention aims to target individuals with mild impairments in these cognitive processes. Mild cognitive impairment is characterised by impairments in any cognitive domain which are greater than expected for the individual’s age and education level, but that are not severe enough to warrant a diagnosis of a dementia [12] (see section 6.1.3 for further discussion of cognitive decline). Although cognition declines with age, the brain retains the ability to learn and can restore depleted cognitive functions (this is known as brain plasticity [13-15]. The fact that the brain retains this plasticity and flexibility in later life provides support for cognitive training interventions as proposed in DOREMI in order to delay or reverse cognitive impairments. In order to evaluate the success of a cognitive intervention, it is necessary to take a number of cognitive assessments or parameters before and after the intervention. In their report of a computerised brain plasticity training program, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. [13] suggest that in addition to evaluating general cognitive functioning (with the MMSE for example), it is important to evaluate directly trained functions targeted by the intervention. DOREMI participants will be subjected to a cognitive test battery at baseline, during the pre-intervention screening phase, and again at post intervention follow-up. Selected cognitive tests cover a range of cognitive domains which will be trained during the intervention. In order to give a further insight of some specific cognitive functions, the following set of tools (shown in Table 2) has been suggested and adopted in the DOREMI protocol:

  • RE-WEIGHING PRODUCT Deliveries are subject to re- weighing at the point of destination by the Authorized User. If shrinkage occurs which exceeds that normally allowable in the trade, the Authorized User shall have the option to require delivery of the difference in quantity or to reduce the payment accordingly. Such option shall be exercised in writing by the Authorized User.

  • Provisional Measures 1. The judicial authorities shall have the authority to order prompt and effective provisional measures: (a) to prevent an infringement of any intellectual property right from occurring, and in particular to prevent the entry into the channels of commerce in their jurisdiction of goods, including imported goods immediately after customs clearance; (b) to preserve relevant evidence in regard to the alleged infringement. 2. The judicial authorities shall have the authority to adopt provisional measures inaudita altera parte where appropriate, in particular where any delay is likely to cause irreparable harm to the right holder, or where there is a demonstrable risk of evidence being destroyed. 3. The judicial authorities shall have the authority to require the applicant to provide any reasonably available evidence in order to satisfy themselves with a sufficient degree of certainty that the applicant is the right holder and that the applicant’s right is being infringed or that such infringement is imminent, and to order the applicant to provide a security or equivalent assurance sufficient to protect the defendant and to prevent abuse. 4. Where provisional measures have been adopted inaudita altera parte, the parties affected shall be given notice, without delay after the execution of the measures at the latest. A review, including a right to be heard, shall take place upon request of the defendant with a view to deciding, within a reasonable period after the notification of the measures, whether these measures shall be modified, revoked or confirmed. 5. The applicant may be required to supply other information necessary for the identification of the goods concerned by the authority that will execute the provisional measures. 6. Without prejudice to paragraph 4, provisional measures taken on the basis of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall, upon request by the defendant, be revoked or otherwise cease to have effect, if proceedings leading to a decision on the merits of the case are not initiated within a reasonable period, to be determined by the judicial authority ordering the measures where a Member's law so permits or, in the absence of such a determination, not to exceed 20 working days or 31 calendar days, whichever is the longer. 7. Where the provisional measures are revoked or where they lapse due to any act or omission by the applicant, or where it is subsequently found that there has been no infringement or threat of infringement of an intellectual property right, the judicial authorities shall have the authority to order the applicant, upon request of the defendant, to provide the defendant appropriate compensation for any injury caused by these measures. 8. To the extent that any provisional measure can be ordered as a result of administrative procedures, such procedures shall conform to principles equivalent in substance to those set forth in this Section.

  • Completion of Concrete Pours and Emergency Work (a) Except as provided in this sub-clause an Employee shall nor work or be required to work in the rain. (b) Employees shall not be required to start a concrete pour in Inclement Weather. (c) Where a concrete pour has been commenced prior to the commencement of a period of Inclement Weather Employees may be required to complete such concrete pour to a practical stage and for such work shall be paid at the rate of double time calculated to the next hour, and in the case of wet weather shall be provided with adequate wet weather gear. (d) If an Employee’s clothes become wet as a result of working in the rain during a concrete pour the Employee shall, unless the Employee has a change of dry working clothes available, be allowed to go home without loss of pay. (e) The provisions of clauses 32.7(c) and 32.7(d) hereof shall also apply in the case of emergency work where the Employees concerned and their delegates agree that the work is of an emergency nature and can start and/or proceed.

  • Safety Objectives 55.1 The Parties recognise the potentially hazardous nature of the construction industry. To this end, the Parties to the Agreement are committed to continuous improvement in occupational health and safety standards through the implementation of an organisational framework which involves all Parties in protecting Employees’ health and safety. 55.2 In meeting these objectives, the Parties have agreed to consider a broad agenda through the consultative processes established by this Agreement. Such an agenda will include: (a) measures designed to include the safe operation of plant and equipment; (b) training issues including specific hazards, health and safety systems, and site induction; (c) management of occupational health and safety through a comprehensive approach which aims to control hazards at their source, reduce the incidence and costs of occupational injuries and illnesses; and (d) risk of fatigue (see clauses 38.5 and 38.6). 55.3 The Employer will comply with all relevant work health and safety legislation, including the OHS Act, workers compensation legislation, regulations, codes of practice and relevant and appropriate Australian and Industry Standards produced or recognised by WorkSafe Victoria.
