Learning inter-professional teamwork during university studies: a case study of student-teachers’ and social work students’ shared professional experiences

Abstract This paper explores ways of enhancing inter-professional skills as part of professional development during university studies. From a socio-psychological viewpoint, inter-professional teamwork can be regarded as an interface between the group and individual levels, where collective commitment, efficiency, shared processes and outcomes, as well as tensions and dilemmas, are brought together. Inter-professional skills, which are already practised in university, may enable professionals to work in inter-professional contexts during their careers. In this case study, the participants (three student-teachers, two social work students and four supervisors) reflected on their shared experience of participating in a shared practicum at a primary school. The data-set comprises two group interviews conducted separately with the students and supervisors following the practicum. The results indicate that it is possible to develop inter-professional competencies during one’s university studies and that this has the potential to promote students’ reflective skills as they reframe their expertise and the expertise in other professions.

Reflux Revisited: Advancing the Role of Pepsin

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is mediated principally by acid. Today, we recognise reflux reaches beyond the esophagus, where pepsin, not acid, causes damage. Extraesophageal reflux occurs both as liquid and probably aerosol, the latter with a further reach. Pepsin is stable up to pH 7 and regains activity after reacidification. The enzyme adheres to laryngeal cells, depletes its defences, and causes further damage internally after its endocytosis. Extraesophageal reflux can today be detected by recognising pharyngeal acidification using a miniaturised pH probe and by the identification of pepsin in saliva and in exhaled breath condensate by a rapid, sensitive, and specific immunoassay. Proton pump inhibitors do not help the majority with extraesophageal reflux but specifically formulated alginates, which sieve pepsin, give benefit. These new insights may lead to the development of novel drugs that dramatically reduce pepsinogen secretion, block the effects of adherent pepsin, and give corresponding clinical benefit. “For now we see through a glass, darkly. ” —First epistle, Chapter 13, Corinthians
Corporate social responsibility and bank customer satisfaction : a research agenda

Dr McDonald is currently a lecturer in the Marketing Department. Lyn was awarded her PhD in 2006. Her research interests include corporate social responsibility. Her research interests centre on customer loyalty and retention strategies and she has published many articles in this area. (2008) Corporate social responsibility and bank customer satisfaction: a research agenda. Abstract Purpose – While the positive effects of CSR are well documented, there has been little research seeking to understand the effects of CSR initiatives on customer satisfaction. A research agenda is proposed which evaluates the likely impact on customer satisfaction of CSR initiatives versus other more customer-centric initiatives. Further, a hierarchy of customer-preferred CSR initiatives is proposed for evaluation. Approach – This paper reviews the literature on CSR effects and satisfaction, noting gaps in the literature. A series of propositions is put forward to guide future research endeavours. Research implications – By understanding the likely impact on customer satisfaction of CSR initiatives vis-à-vis customer-centric initiatives, the academic research community can assist managers to understand how to best allocate company resources in situations of low customer satisfaction. Such endeavours are managerially relevant and topical. Researchers seeking to test the propositions put forward in this paper would be able to gain links with, and possibly attract funding from, banks to conduct their research. Such endeavours may assist researchers to redefine the stakeholder view by placing customers at the centre of a network of stakeholders. Practical implications – An understanding of how to best allocate company resources to increase the proportion of satisfied customers will allow bank marketers to reduce customer churn and hence increase market share and profits. Originality/value – Researchers have not previously conducted a comparative analysis of the effects of different CSR initiatives on customer satisfaction, nor considered whether more customer-centric initiatives are likely to be more effective in increasing the proportion of satisfied customers.
The Barley Powdery Mildew Effector Candidates CSEP0081 and CSEP0254 Promote Fungal Infection Success

Effectors play significant roles in the success of pathogens. Recent advances in genome sequencing have revealed arrays of effectors and effector candidates from a wide range of plant pathogens. Yet, the vast majority of them remain uncharacterized. Among the ~500 Candidate Secreted Effector Proteins (CSEPs) predicted from the barley powdery mildew fungal genome, only a few have been studied and shown to have a function in virulence. Here, we provide evidence that CSEP0081 and CSEP0254 contribute to infection by the fungus. This was studied using Host-Induced Gene Silencing (HIGS), where independent silencing of the transcripts for these CSEPs significantly reduced the fungal penetration and haustoria formation rate. Both CSEPs are likely required during and after the formation of haustoria, in which their transcripts were found to be differentially expressed, rather than in epiphytic tissue. When expressed in barley leaf epidermal cells, both CSEPs appears to move freely between the cytosol and the nucleus, suggesting that their host targets locate in these cellular compartments. Collectively, our data suggest that, in addition to the previously reported effectors, the barley powdery mildew fungus utilizes these two CSEPs as virulence factors to enhance infection.
Medical care of type 2 diabetes mellitus in light of international and national recommendations: a retrospective analysis.

QUESTION UNDER STUDY Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2Dm) is a chronic disease with great economic impact. In 2009, the Swiss Society for Endocrinology and Diabetes (SSED) published recommendations for treatment of T2Dm. In Switzerland, few data are currently available on metabolic control and physician compliance with treatment guidelines. We aimed to investigate clinical care in T2Dm in the year after the publication of SSED recommendations. METHODS We retrospectively studied the charts of all patients with T2Dm admitted to our general internal medicine clinic during 2009. Metabolic control was judged from glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. Antidiabetic therapy was analysed, and frequencies of screening for end-organ damage were investigated. A group with newly diagnosed T2Dm was analysed separately from patients with known T2Dm upon admission. RESULTS In patients with known T2Dm, the mean (± standard deviation) HbA1c level was 7.66% ± 1.73%. Only 44% of patients showed HbA1c levels at the target of ≤7%. Prior to admission and at discharge, 56% and 55% of patients, respectively, were treated with metformin. Among patients with HbA1c >8.5%, the proportion of those treated with insulin increased from 49% upon admission to 76% at discharge. Only half the patients received a lifestyle intervention in the year prior to admission or during hospital stay. Screening for diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy was performed in approximately one-third and two-thirds of patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In the majority of unselected T2Dm patients admitted to our hospital, metabolic control was suboptimal. Implementation of treatment recommendations by both general practitioners and hospitals should be improved.
An intelligent intrusion detection system using genetic based feature selection and Modified J48 decision tree classifier

In this paper, intelligent algorithms for intrusion detection are proposed which detect the network attacks as normal or anomaly based attacks by performing effective preprocessing and classification. This system uses a new genetic algorithm approach for pre-processing and Modified J48 classification algorithm to identify the intended activities. The new genetic based feature selection algorithm proposed in this paper is helpful to identify the important features needed to classify the normal and anomaly records. The proposed intelligent IDS has been empirically tested in a simulated environment and the experimental results show that the proposed method provides higher detection accuracy than the existing methods in terms of detection rate with reduced false rate. The salient contributions of this paper are, the proposed a new processing technique for removing noisy data in the KDD cup'99 dataset, identification of the optimal features selection by applying modified genetic algorithm and finally the proposed of modified J48 decision tree algorithm for efficient classification for providing intelligent network intrusion detection.
Antigenic variation of a cysteine-rich protein in Giardia lamblia

The WB isolate of Giardia lamblia expresses a cysteine-rich 170-kD surface antigen (CRP170) that undergoes antigenic variation. An (6E7), cytotoxic for isolates expressing CRP170, was used in another study to select antigenic variants from clones of the WB isolate of Giardia. CRP170 was replaced by surface-labeled bands ranging in size from approximately 50 to 170 kD. In this study, mAb 6E7 was used to isolate a 1-kb portion of the CRP170 gene (M2-1) from a lambda gt 11 expression library. The M2-1 clone hybridized to a 5.4-kb transcript from isolates expressing CRP170 but did not hybridize to RNA from antigenic variants. Evidence was found for frequent rearrangements at the CRP170 gene locus. DNA sequencing of the M2-1 clone revealed the presence of long tandem repeats. The putative amino acid sequence of M2-1 reveals a 12% cysteine content, and CRP170 is readily labeled in vivo with cysteine.
An Efficient Hybrid Swarm Intelligence-Gradient Optimization Method for Complex Time Green's Functions of Multilayer Media

A new hybrid technique for optimization of a multivariable function is proposed. This method is applied to the problem of complex time Green's function of multilayer media. This technique combines Particle Swarm search algorithm with the gradient based quasi-Newton method. Superiority of the method is demonstrated by comparing its results with other optimization techniques.
The Search for Intergalactic Hydrogen Clouds in Voids

I present the results of a search for intergalactic hydrogen clouds in voids. Clouds are detected by their H I Lyα absorption lines in the Hubble Space Telescope spectra of low-redshift active galactic nuclei. The parameter with which the environments of clouds are characterized is the tidal field, for this places a lower limit on the cloud mass density that is dynamically stable against disruption. The summing of the tidal fields along these lines of sight is managed by the use of galaxy redshift catalogs. The analytical methodology employed here has been designed to detect gas clouds whose expansion following reionization is restrained by dark matter perturbations. The end products of the analysis of data are the cloud equivalent width distribution functions (EWDFs) of catalogs formed by sorting clouds according to various tidal field upper or lower limits. Cloud EWDFs are steep in voids [d log(d𝒩/dz)/d log(𝒲) = 𝒮 ~ -1.5 ± 0.2] but flatter in high tidal field zones (𝒮 ~ -1.5 ± 0.6). The most probable cloud Doppler parameters are ~30 km s-1 in voids and ~60 km s-1 in proximity to galaxies. In voids the cumulative line density at low EW (𝒲 ≃ 15 mÅ) is essentially equal to that of the mean EWDF, ~500 per unit redshift. The void filling factor is found to be 0.87 ≤ fv ≤ 0.94. The void EWDF is remarkably uniform over this volume, with a possible tendency for more massive clouds to be in void centers. The size and nature of the void cloud population suggested by this study is completely unanticipated by the results of published three-dimensional simulations, which predict that most clouds are in filamentary structures around galaxy concentrations and that very few observable absorbers would lie in voids. Strategies for modeling this population are briefly discussed.
Surgical resection of pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer: Four favourable prognostic factors.

BACKGROUND Surgical resection has been the first choice for treatment of pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer; however, indications for surgery have yet to be adequately clarified. In considering strategies for the treatment of pulmonary metastases from colorectal carcinoma, determination of disease status as either systemic or pre-systemic is of primary importance. The aim of this study is to define the characteristics of those patients who are most likely to benefit from surgical resection. METHODS Fifty-eight patients who underwent pulmonary resection for colorectal metastases were retrospectively reviewed and examined for clinicopathological factors. RESULTS Overall, 5-year survival rates were 29%, with a median survival time (MST) of 27 months. Multivariate analysis identified four factors that indicate independent and favourable prognostic impact: three or less tumours, metachronous metastasis, negative hilar and/or mediastinal lymph node metastasis and normal prethoracotomy serum carcinoembryonic antigen level. The 5-year survival rate for 16 patients who satisfied all of these favourable characteristics was 62% (MST = 86 months), which was significantly better than those patients lacking these characteristics. The 5-year survival rate for 13 patients who underwent repeated metastasectomy was 37% (MST = 32 months). CONCLUSIONS The four factors selected in our multivariate analysis appear to be favourable factors for the practical identification of those patients who are most likely to benefit from surgical resection. Repeated pulmonary resection for lung-only recurrence may benefit carefully selected patients.
A Comparison of Rankings Produced by Summarization Evaluation Measures

Summary evaluation measures produce a ranking of all possible extract summaries of a document. Recall-based evaluation measures, which depend on costly human-generated ground truth summaries, produce uncorrelated rankings when ground truth is varied. This paper proposes using sentence-rank-based and content-based measures for evaluating extract summaries, and compares these with recall-based evaluation measures. Content-based measures increase the correlation of rankings induced by synonymous ground truths, and exhibit other desirable properties.
Revisiting Digital News Audiences with a Political Magnifying Glass

This paper argues that the emergence of digital audiences as members of the Polis have to be readdressed. First, it summarises the results of quantitative surveys and calls for more qualitative studies placing the social uses of news in a wider social context. Second, it hypothesises that the evolution of social classes plays a major role in the appropriation of news and in the digital participatory devices. Third, it examines paradoxes in the digital pubic sphere at a time when populist voices infiltrate the political debate. The article finally advocates interdisciplinary research and the practice approach as means to better understand social factors shaping these trends.
Theory of gravitation theories: a no-progress report

Already in the 1970s there where attempts to present a set of ground rules, sometimes referred to as a theory of gravitation theories, which theories of gravity should satisfy in order to be considered viable in principle and, therefore, interesting enough to deserve further investigation. From this perspective, an alternative title of the present paper could be ``why are we still unable to write a guide on how to propose viable alternatives to general relativity? ''. Attempting to answer this question, it is argued here that earlier efforts to turn qualitative statements, such as the Einstein Equivalence Principle, into quantitative ones, such as the metric postulates, stand on rather shaky grounds -- probably contrary to popular belief -- as they appear to depend strongly on particular representations of the theory. This includes ambiguities in the identification of matter and gravitational fields, dependence of frequently used definitions, such as those of the stress-energy tensor or classical vacuum, on the choice of variables, etc. Various examples are discussed and possible approaches to this problem are pointed out. In the course of this study, several common misconceptions related to the various forms of the Equivalence Principle, the use of conformal frames and equivalence between theories are clarified.
On black hole masses, radio-loudness and bulge luminosities of Seyfert galaxies

We estimated black hole masses for 9 Seyfert 1 and 13 Seyfert 2 galaxies in the Palomar and CfA bright Seyfert samples using the tight correlation between black hole mass and bulge velocity dispersion. Combining other 13 Seyfert 1s and 2 Seyfert 2s in these samples but with black hole masses measured recently by reverberation mapping and stellar/gas dynamics, we studied the correlations of black hole masses with radio-loudness and bulge luminosities for a sample of 37 Seyfert galaxies. We found that if radio-loudness is measured using the optical and radio luminosities of the nuclear components, the black hole masses of radio-loud Seyfert 1s tend to increase with the radio-loudness. The black hole masses of all Seyfert galaxies increase with the radio power, but Seyfert galaxies have larger radio powers than nearby galaxies with the same black hole masses. In addition, the correlation between black hole masses and bulge V -band luminosities for Seyfert galaxies is consistent with that found for quasars and normal galaxies. The combined sample of 37 Seyfert galaxies, 15 quasars and 30 normal galaxies suggests a possible universal nonlinear relation between black hole and bulge masses, MBH/ M 1:740:14 bulge , which is slightly steeper than that found recently by Laor (2001) for a smaller sample. This nonlinear relation is supported by a larger sample including 65 Seyfert galaxies. The dierent MBH=M bulge ratio for galaxies with dierent bulge luminosities or dierent black hole masses may be explained by this relation. These results are consistent with some theoretical implications and are important for understanding the nature of radio emissions and the formation and evolution of supermassive black holes and galaxies.
Einar Wegener’s identity change in David Ebershoff’sthe Danish Girl

This study attempts to analyze a great novel by David Ebershoff entitled The Danish Girl. This novel describes a painter who is confused with his identity. The man naturally be masculine and handsome. However, Einar changes his act to be beautiful and feminine. Lili is a woman version of Einar. This thesis focuses on analyzing Einar's confusion about Lili's presence. The purpose of this thesis is describes the process of Einar to discover the originality in his identity and reveals the factors that cause Einar to change the originality in his identity. Dealing with the focused of the study above, this study uses queer theory as the main theory to answer the problematic of identity. While other theories of some experts as supporting theories that provide academic support for analysis. As a result, the study find that gender representation, the act of cross-dressing, changing gender, gender repetition and the revelation are the depictions of Einar's experience of identity confusion. In addition, this study finds the factors that cause Einar to change his identity. The reason for the alteration are Einar has a pair of ovaries, a strong desire from within Einar to change her identity, fear of the nature of father and compulsion from the hard situation
A Pair of Lensed Galaxies at z = 4.92 in the Field of CL 1358+62

The cluster CL 1358+62 displays a prominent red arc in WFPC2 images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. Keck spectra of the arc show Lyα emission at 7204 Å, a continuum drop blueward of the line, and several absorption lines to the red. We identify the arc as a gravitationally lensed galaxy at a redshift of z = 4.92. It is the highest redshift object currently known. A gravitational lens model was used to reconstruct images of the high-redshift galaxy. The reconstructed image is asymmetric, containing a bright knot and a patch of extended emission 0. ″4 from the knot. The effective radius of the bright knot is 0. ″022 or 130 h−150 pc. The extended patch is partially resolved into compact regions of star formation. The reconstructed galaxy has IAB = 24, giving a bolometric luminosity of about 3 × 1011 L☉. This can be produced by a star formation rate of 36 h−250 M☉ yr-1 (q0 = 0.5) or by an instantaneous starburst of 3 × 108 M☉. The spectral lines show velocity variations on the order of 300 km s-1 along the arc. The Si II line is blueshifted with respect to the Lyα emission, and the Lyα emission line is asymmetric with a red tail. These spectral features are naturally explained by an outflow model, in which the blue side of the Lyα line has been absorbed by outflowing neutral H I. Evidence from other sources indicates that outflows are common in starburst galaxies at high and low redshift. We have discovered a companion galaxy with a radial velocity only 450 km s-1 different than that of the arc. The serendipitous discovery of these two galaxies suggests that systematic searches may uncover galaxies at even higher redshifts.
