The Inclusion of Students with Visual Impairment at Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia: Challenges and Prospects

Following the introduction of Special Needs Education Program Strategy that Ethiopian government developed in 2006, all public HEIs have been required to implement inclusive education as a mandatory approach when educating students with impairment, including those who are visually impaired. However, the actual implementation of an inclusive approach is being challenged by the social, political and physical circumstances of higher education institutions. Therefore, this study aimed at examining the existing challenges and prospects towards the inclusion of students with Visual Impairment (VI) in the particular context of Addis Ababa University (AAU). The study adopted an interpretive paradigm for deeper understanding of the inclusion of students with VI at AAU and informing the detailed judgments made by experts of a suggested action plan to progressively provide support for students with VI at AAU. The study also applied the critical disability paradigm as a complementary philosophical base in order to examine critically the challenges that students with VI face and to suggest ways to transform the inclusive policies and practices of AAU in favor of the students. The researcher undertook the qualitative case study and a Delphi design to address the main aim of this research (i.e., to determine how best to implement an action plan that progressively increases support for students with VI at AAU over a period of time). The action plan that comprises various support measures and the necessary resources was developed using the empirical results of this study as well as the existing findings and best practices found in the literature study. It was scrutinized and approved by a number of experts to be implemented over the next five years at AAU in order to improve the support provided to students with VI.
Formative E-Assessment of Schema Acquisition in the Human Lexicon as a Tool in Adaptive Online Instruction

This chapter presents a comprehensive method of implementing e-assessment in adaptive e-instruction systems. Specifically, a neural net classifier capable of discerning whether a student has integrated new schema-related concepts from course content into her/his lexicon is used by an expert system with a database containing natural mental representa tions from course content obtained from students and teachers for adapting e-instruction. Mental representation modeling is used to improve student modeling. Implications for adaptive hypermedia systems and hypertext-based instructions are discussed. Furthermore, it is argued that the current research constitutes a new cognitive science empirical direction to evaluate knowledge acquisition based on meaning information.
Designing and Evaluating Tutoring Feedback Strategies for Digital Learning Environments on the Basis of the Interactive Tutoring Feedback Model.

This paper describes the interactive tutoring feedback model (ITF-model; Narciss, 2006; 2008). The ITF-model conceptualizes formative tutoring feedback as a multidimensional instructional activity that aims at contributing to the regulation of a learning process in such a way that learners acquire or improve the competencies (i.e., conceptual and procedural knowledge as well as cognitive and metacognitive strategies and skills) needed to master learning tasks. It integrates findings from systems theory with recom-mendations of prior research on interactive instruction and elaborated feedback, on task analyses, on error analyses, and on tutoring techniques. Based on this multi-dimensional view of formative tutoring feedback methodological implications for designing and investigating multiple effects of feedback under multiple individual and situational conditions are described. Furthermore, the paper outlines how the implications of the ITF-model have been applied in several studies to the design and evaluation of tutoring feedback strategies for digital learning environments (e.g., Narciss, 2004; Narciss, & Huth, 2006; Strijbos, Narciss & Duennebier, 2010; Schnaubert, Andres, Narciss, Eichelmann, Goguadze, & Melis, 2011).
Hand‐assisted laparoscopic colorectal surgery with double‐glove technique

The hand‐assisted laparoscopic colorectal surgery (HALS) preserves the advantages of the minimally‐invasive approach. However, its application has faced resistance due to the need of hand port devices and its increased costs. The aim of the present study was to assess the feasibility of an original technique using a double glove to keep pneumoperitoneum.
Uterine Twisting During Pregnancy in Buffaloes: Relatioship Between Clinical Findings and Biochemical Indices

The twisting of the gravid uterus during pregnancy is more common in the Egyptian buf faloes than any other domestic species. Available f eld and hospital cases (n=36) were included in this study. The treatment procedure and the clinicopathological f ndings (before detorsion, after detorsion, immediately after birth and 24 hours after birth) of the buf faloes suffering from uterine torsion were investigated. The total number of successfully rolled buffaloes was signif cantly higher (P 2 rolls to be corrected. Caesarean section (C.S) was successfully completed in the majority of c ases. The rate of maternal and foetal mortality increased with the severity of torsion. Most cases of torsion were accompanied with dilated cervix than insuff cient or closed cervix. The rate of bloody discharge (P 270° torsion. Heparinized blood samples were collected to perform a complete blo od picture, and plasma samples were used for analysis of some biochemical parameters and hormones. The results of haemogram in the affected buffaloes with uterine torsion showed normocytic normochromic anaemia and leucocytosis accompanied by neutrophilia and monocytosis. Biochemical analysis revealed signi f cant (P<0.01) changes in the plasma levels of AST, LDH, glucose, total protein, albumin, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine in the af fected buffaloes than the control. Hormonal analysis showed signif cant (P<0.001) increase in progesterone and cortisol levels in association with a signi f cant (P<0.001) decrease in the level of estradiol-17s in the af fected buffaloes with uterine torsion. The present study suggested that, there was a signi f cant change regarding the haemogram, biochemical constituents and hormonal pro f les, specially before and after detorsion and immediately after birth in Egyptian buffaloes with uterine torsion.

Advanced Adoption of Computer Technology in the Classroom and Teachers' Participation in Voluntary Innovation Adoption Activities.

A case study was conducted to seek improved understanding of processes related to teachers' adoption of two classroom-based computer technologies--networked computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and desktop computer multimedia resources--at a selected magnet elementary school. A Stages of Concern Questionnaire was used to gather quantitative data, and interviews with four selected teachers provided qualitative data. The research focused on identifying and describing teachers' self-initiated or voluntary individual and collegial adoption-related activities and on understanding the part such activities played in promoting progression for the innovations through the Concerns Based Adoption Model (CBAM) stages of concern. Qualitative analysis identified two general categories of individual voluntary adoption activities related to several stages of concern including the informational, personal, management, and consequence stages: (1) voluntary investigation of new computer resources (software, devices) for students to use, and (2) voluntary experimentation with altered teaching methods, student work, and classroom physical and procedural arrangements to integrate technology into the learning process. The analysis also indicates increasing collegial interaction among adopting teachers over time related to information, personal, management, consequence, and collaboration concerns. The evolution of teachers' concerns and their voluntary adoption activities are interrelated with their advancing experience with increasingly complex and powerful computer resources over time. An appendix includes the interview script. (Contains 50 references.) (Author/SWC)
Spatial Filtering with a Pyramid Wavefront Sensor on the High Order Testbench

Wavefront sensors used in adaptive optics (AO) can misinterpret high spatial frequency wavefront aberrations as low spatial frequency aberrations, known as aliasing. The AO system then corrects for fictitious low-order aberrations, thus adding phase error. Aliasing is a significant contributor to the error budget for XAO. Spatial filtering in the focal plane is a widely accepted practice for Shack-Hartmann Wavefront sensors, and is currently used on SPHERE and GPI. While simulations have shown that the pyramid wavefront sensor (PWS) design is less suscebtible to aliasing than the Shack-Hartmann design, no thorough experimental tests have previously been conducted to verify these simulations. This article describes experiments undertaken using the High Order Testbench (HOT) at the European Southern Observatory headquarters in Munich to explore the effect of a spatial filter on a PWS. The goal of this investigation is to experimentally demonstrate the degree to which a PWS is susceptible to the adverse effects of aliasing. If spatial filtering improves the PWS performance in terms of some relevant metric (e.g. Strehl ratio, contrast, sensitivity), then the optimal aperture size will be identified. In the end, it is shown that the PWS is quite robust against aliasing, but there remain secondary effects caused by spatial filtering that may have useful applications.

"Je ne regret rien?" : the value of adding anticipated regret to the theory of planned behaviour.

Regret is fundamentally motivational, where there is a desire to be able to undo what has or has not been done; anticipating regret, therefore, seems a useful way of avoiding this negative experience and has been found to be a powerful mechanism for changing behaviour in areas such as economics and litigation (e.g. Larrick & Boles, 1995). Recent research has also been conducted into incorporating this explicitly affective component into the utilitarian-bound Theory of Planned Behaviour (Ajzen, 1985, 1988, 1991). A meta-analysis conducted in this thesis on all previous relevant research established that anticipated affective reactions, including regret, did make a significant contribution to the model in terms of increasing the variance in intentions. The remit of this PhD was to specifically consider anticipated regret’s predictive value to a broader variety of behaviours in a completely novel way. Study 1 differentiated between two particular behaviour types, Immediate Hedonic and Distal Benefit Behaviours, which mapped on to action and inaction regret respectively. A selection of these behaviours was used in Studies 2, 3 and 4, with Study 4 using an intervention designed to explicitly increase regret salience. Studies 5 and 6 set out to replicate the results from previous research into exercise behaviour by Abraham and Sheeran (2003; 2004), whilst Study 7 used an objective measure of exercise behaviour. The studies were either traditional pen-and-paper or web studies. The results provide overwhelming evidence that anticipated regret (unambiguously defined) adds significantly and independently to the predictive validity of the TPB in terms of intentions over and above the traditional TPB variables, even when controlling for past behaviour, experiential and instrumental attitudes. Replication of Abraham and Sheeran’s (2003; 2004) results (i.e. moderation by anticipated regret on the intention-behaviour relationship, mediated by intention stability) failed in pen-and-paper Study 5, although success was evident in web Study 6. Finally, although Study 7 explicitly established the disparate value of anticipated regret to the predictive validity of intention, there was a failure to detect any moderation or mediation effects: rather the most important predictor of exercise behaviour by Sports Centre members was past behaviour. Issues regarding multi-item versus single-item scales, web versus pen-and-paper designs, student versus ‘other’ populations, and observational designs are discussed with recommendations for further research.
The IASP classification of chronic pain for ICD-11: chronic postsurgical or posttraumatic pain

Abstract Chronic pain after tissue trauma is frequent and may have a lasting impact on the functioning and quality of life of the affected person. Despite this, chronic postsurgical and posttraumatic pain is underrecognised and, consequently, undertreated. It is not represented in the current International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). This article describes the new classification of chronic postsurgical and posttraumatic pain for ICD-11. Chronic postsurgical or posttraumatic pain is defined as chronic pain that develops or increases in intensity after a surgical procedure or a tissue injury and persists beyond the healing process, ie, at least 3 months after the surgery or tissue trauma. In the classification, it is distinguished between tissue trauma arising from a controlled procedure in the delivery of health care (surgery) and forms of uncontrolled accidental damage (other traumas). In both sections, the most frequent conditions are included. This provides diagnostic codes for chronic pain conditions that persist after the initial tissue trauma has healed and that require specific treatment and management. It is expected that the representation of chronic postsurgical and posttraumatic pain in ICD-11 furthers identification, diagnosis, and treatment of these pain states. Even more importantly, it will make the diagnosis of chronic posttraumatic or postsurgical pain statistically visible and, it is hoped, stimulate research into these pain syndromes.
Randomized, double-blind phase III study of pazopanib versus placebo in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma who have no evidence of disease following metastasectomy: A trial of the ECOG-ACRIN cancer research group (E2810).

4502 Background: Patients with no evidence of disease (NED) after metastasectomy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) are at high risk of recurrence, but no systemic therapy has been shown to benefit this population. Pazopanib is an inhibitor of VEGFR and other kinases that improves progression-free survival in patients with measurable RCC metastatic disease. We performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study to test the hypothesis that pazopanib would improve disease-free survival in patients with mRCC rendered NED after metastasectomy Methods: Patients with NED following metastasectomy were randomized 1:1 to receive pazopanib starting at 800 mg daily vs. placebo for 52 weeks. Patients were stratified by 1 vs. > 1 site of resected disease, and by disease-free interval ≤ vs. > 1 year. Clinical assessment for toxicity and patient-reported outcomes were performed every 4 weeks, and restaging scans every 12 weeks. The study was designed to observe a 42% improvement in disease-free survival (DFS) from 25% to 45% at 3 years. Results: From August 2012 to July 2017, 129 patients were enrolled. The study was unblinded after 83 DFS events had been observed (92% information). The median follow-up from randomization was 30 months (range 0.4 – 66.5 months). The study did not meet the primary endpoint: hazard ratio (95% CI) for DFS was 0.85 (0.55, 1.31) p= 0.47 in favor of pazopanib. At the time of unblinding, 22/129 (17%) of subjects had died. The HR for overall survival (OS) was 2.65 (1.02, 6.9) in favor of placebo ( p= 0.05). Patient-reported outcomes and laboratory correlates will be reported separately. Conclusions: 52 weeks of pazopanib did not improve DFS compared to blinded placebo in patients with mRCC who were NED after metastasectomy. There was a trend toward worse overall survival with pazopanib. Clinical trial information: NCT01575548.
"Cognitive dysmetria" as an integrative theory of schizophrenia: a dysfunction in cortical-subcortical-cerebellar circuitry?

Earlier efforts to localize the symptoms of schizophrenia in a single brain region have been replaced by models that postulate a disruption in parallel distributed or dynamic circuits. Based on empirical data derived from both magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography, we have developed a model that implicates connectivity among nodes located in prefrontal regions, the thalamic nuclei, and the cerebellum. A disruption in this circuitry produces "cognitive dysmetria," difficulty in prioritizing, processing, coordinating, and responding to information. This "poor mental coordination" is a fundamental cognitive deficit in schizophrenia and can account for its broad diversity of symptoms.
Knowledge about Anesthesia and Perception about Anesthesiologists among Patients at a Rural Tertiary Care Hospital: A Cross Sectional Survey -

Background: Our patients are not well aware of the role of anesthetist and especially their knowledge is very poor regarding anesthetist commitments within and outside the operation theatre. The present study was conducted to know the awareness and knowledge of the patients about anesthesia and anesthetist. Methodology: The present study was a cross sectional study conducted using predesigned questionnaire containing questions related to the awareness and knowledge of anesthesia among the patients coming for a pre-anesthesia check-up after taking their voluntary informed consent. Results: Only 22% of the cases know correctly that anesthetist is the person who will resuscitate the patients if any mishap occurs in operation theatre. It was observed that 63% of the cases feel that the role of the anesthetist in operation theatre is to put the patient to sleep. The knowledge about the types of anesthesia was present among 170 (56.7%) of the participants. 52% believe that the role of anesthetist is equivalent to that of the surgeon. Significant association was observed between educational status and perception about the anesthetist as a doctor (p
Cognitive Load and Goal Based Scenario Centered 3D Multimedia Learning Environment: Learners' Motivation, Satisfaction and Mental Effort

This study investigated the learners' satisfaction, motivation, and mental effort in Goal Based Scenario centered 3D multimedia learning environment (GBSc3DM). The design of the GBSc3DM was based on the Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) principles. Two versions of the GBSc3DM were developed. While Cognitive Load Theory principles were taken into account and implemented in the design of the first version (+CLT), those principles were not applied in the design of the second version (–CLT). A total of 82 9th grade high school students participated in the study. Mixed methods were used to gather the data. The findings of the study revealed that the learners were satisfied with the Goal Based Scenario components and the CLT principles implemented in the first version of GBSc3DM. The learners pointed out that GBSc3DM and CLT principles motivated them to learn the topic. However, not only were the learners not satisfied with the second version (–CLT), but they also found it distracting. The findings showed that the learners invested higher mental effort in the second version (–CLT) of GBSc3DM.
Notes d'Ichtyologie oues t-africaine

La publication recente d‘un travail de Leonard P. &xiuL*rz sur les (( Frogfishes of the Family Antennariidae )) a souligne tout l’interet qu’il y aurait B reprendre l’examen des specimens de nos collections ouest-africaines. L. P. SCHULTZ en effet ne cite dans sa longue liste (sans compter Histrio, a peau nue et lisse) que deux especes : A. campylacanthus BLEEKER et A. pardalis (Vpa~. in Cuv.VAL.) de la cote occidentale d’Afrique, qu’il place dans deux sousgenres distincts. Or il n’est pas certain, d’une part que A. pardalis et A. campylacanthus doivent etre maintenus dans des sous-genres differents et, d‘autre part, il existe plusieurs autres especes ouest-africaines bien distinctes dont nous avons essaye de preciser les caracteres differentiels. Le present travail est baie sur l’etude des collections reunies par la Section de Biologie marine de YIFAN a Goree, ainsi que sur l’examen de materiel faisant partie de collections diverses : telles que celles du Service technique des Peches du Gouvernement du Senegal, du Centre d’E“des des Peches de Joal, de la Faculte des Sciences de Dakar, du West African Research Institute de Freetown au Sierra
