But reputational ratings are simply inferences from broad, readily observable features of an institution's identity, such as its history, its prominence in the media, or the elegance of its architecture.
The five outcomes are "broad and observable" (Commonwealth of Australia, 2009, p. 19), are strengths based, focus on lifelong learning dispositions, recognize that children learn in different ways, promote high expectations and equity, and include a number of key indicators listed under each outcome.
"Reputational ratings are simply inferences from broad, readily observable features of an institution's identity," explains Gladwell, in his New Yorker piece fiercely critical of the rankings system.
Or the realist can attempt to argue that the kinds of inferences that the antirealist will acknowledge as unproblematic for example, the generalization from observed samples to conclusions about a broader population of observable things can be made only in light of an understanding of unobservable entities and mechanisms.
Grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) measurements performed on PCDTBT:fullerene blends revealed only some weak ordering from PCDTBT, with (100) and (200) peaks that are broad and weakly observable in the out-of-plane and in-plane directions.
Within computational chemistry and materials sciencethere are multiple efforts to make a limited set of calculated observables availableto the broader community.
The gyri frequencies, 0.3 1 cycles/cm (wavelength 3.34 1.0 cm), are readily observable in a broad peak in the PSD spectrum of scalp EEG and MEG.
In this paper, we extend the semi-global finite-time observers design to a broader class of single-output systems that are uniformly observable and possibly non-Lipschitz.
14 In a previous study, we found that there were patients with urinary catheters that had been inserted appropriately according to broad indications 3 but with no observable clinical benefit.
As presented in Fig. 8a, as the electropolymerization time increase, the anodic peak becomes broader and the reduction peak is less observable.
