Adults with dyslexia show parafoveal preview benefits during silent reading

Readers with dyslexia struggle to read accurately, fluently and efficiently. Their difficulty processing written words in order to read them is often reflected in their eye movement behaviour. The current study was designed to explore parafoveal pre-processing in dyslexic readers, to determine whether dyslexic readers were able to obtain a processing benefit from information presented parafoveally prior to directly fixating it; a robust effect characteristic of skilled adult reading. Twelve skilled adult readers and twelve adults with dyslexia read sixty-four single line sentences, all of which contained a specific target word. The parafoveally presented preview of the target word was from one of four preview manipulations; identical (beach), orthographic (bench), homophone (beech) or random (jfzrp). Once a saccade was made that crossed an invisible boundary directly after the pre-target word this preview changed to the correct target word (beach). The pattern of results suggested dyslexic readers were able to pre-process information parafoveally in a similar manner to skilled readers. Skilled and dyslexic adult readers both received a significant preview benefit from the identical preview compared to all three of the alternative preview conditions. A preview benefit for dyslexic readers was not evident in first fixation duration, but was evident for skilled readers. It was concluded that the lack of preview benefit at first fixation and across the three manipulated preview conditions for dyslexic readers was a result of a global visual attention span deficit. Despite this, dyslexic readers make some use of parafoveal information to increase their reading efficiency, similar to skilled readers.
A study of hypertension & its risk factors among primary school teachers of Tumkur, Karnataka

Background: Hypertension is an important public health challenge in both economically developing and developed countries. Hypertension is a Silent Killer, because people who have it are often symptom free or unaware of the disease. The teaching profession is highly stressful occupation due to enhanced psychosocial stress at the work place. The present study was intended to measure the prevalence of hypertension among primary school teachers of Urban Tumkur and also to identify the risk factors for hypertension among the same. Material and Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted in Maralur area of Tumkur town during July to September, 2013. All the five schools under our Urban field practice area were selected for the study and the sample size was 70 primary school teachers. Blood pressure of all teachers were recorded in sitting position and a pre-tested questionnaire was used to obtain other details. Result: Blood pressure was recorded among 70 teachers in the 5 schools of which 19 (27.14%) were males and 51 (72.86%) were females. 20 teachers (28.57%) were diagnosed with hypertension. 65% of hypertensive teachers have positive family history of hypertension in this study. 15% of teachers with hypertension have smoking habit and 10% of teachers have the habit of alcohol consumption. 25% of hypertensives had less than 6 hours of sleep daily. 65% of hypertensives do not practice yoga and 75% of hypertensives do not practice meditation. Conclusion: Hypertension among the school teachers was 28.57%. Life style modification for prevention and control of hypertension has to be given importance among teachers. Teachers can be used as a medium for spreading these messages to their family, the students and their colleagues. Keywords: Hypertension, Primary school, Risk factors, Teachers
Modelling of the heat and mass transfers near reactive walls : application to the oxidation of carbonaceous compounds in after-treatment devices

The environmental emergency has led automotive industry to deal with growing constraints as drastic regulations of pollutant emissions are emerging. In order to reduce emissions resulting from the combustion process, one of the solution adopted is to post process pollutants by the means of catalytic after-treatment systems such as three-way converters (TWC) for gasoline applications oroxidation catalysts (DOC) for Diesel applications. These devices present a honeycomb shape which consists in a grid of millimeter-scale narrow channels called monoliths whose interior wall are coated with precious metals presenting catalytic properties.Pollutants are converted through the chemical interaction involving gas-phase molecules and active precious metal sites. Given the laminar flow encountered within these monoliths, weak mixing and molecular diffusion could occur near the catalytic walls. Pollutant conversion rates may therefore prove insufficient for certain operating conditions. In order to promote transfers, obstacles could be introduced by mechanically deforming the channel wall during the manufacturing process. Numerical simulations can contribute to the emergence of innovative technologies based on a profound understanding and mastering of the underlying phenomena that simulation allows. In order to achieve this goal, a first key element was the formulation and integration into the AVBP CFD code of a numerical approach combining specific boundary conditions for reactive walls and ODE solvers for the gas phase and surface chemistry.The approach allowed to account for detailed kinetics and the interplay between the reactive surface and the gas-phase. The resulting tool was first validated using a zero-dimensional heterogeneous reactor computations. The results were shown to perfectly match the ones obtained with the reference kinetic solver SENKIN.Furthermore, the approach was then validated by applying it to the simulation of two planar reactive channel flows, and comparing the predictions with experimental findings of Dogwiler et al. The developed approach proved to be able of reproducing main features of the catalytic combustion observed for different operating points. Finally, the developed tool was applied to explore the impact of introducing wall obstacles on the conversion rate of catalytic devices. The resulting findings have proved to open very interesting perspectives for contributing to the optimization of the design of catalytic converters using 2D CFD and detailed heterogeneous chemistry. In particular, the study of the impact of wall obstacles indicates the potential for contributing to further increase the efficiency of catalytic converters via the design of monolith geometries that would allow a more efficient and thus less costly usage of Pt-coating as a consequence of optimized interactions between the gas flow, gas phase chemistry and surface chemistry.

What are the Barriers and Drivers Toward BIM Adoption in Nigeria?

The ‘digitalization and collaboration’ or Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the construction industry has been gaining momentum in the recent academic engagements. Despite its existence in many industries (i.e. publishing, retailing, financial and travel services) for over a decade, the construction industry is yet to catch up with them. This is due to several challenges whose existence are more dynamic and perhaps generic than static to various countries. The challenges are mostly defined, but their impacts are frequently varied with boundaries; and the same applied to drivers toward a successful BIM adoption. This study aims to establish barriers and drivers to adopting BIM across Nigerian construction industry professions for synchronization and collective engagements. Primary data was fetched from professional stakeholders (Architects, Engineers, Builders, Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers and Planners) using online structured questionnaire. A total of 68 valid responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study reveals a significant improvement in awareness level with much better adoption rate; however, the utilization level remain very limited due to lack of clarity, knowledge and guide. Lack of expertise within organizations and within project team as well as lack of standardization and protocols (in descending order) were found as significant barriers to BIM adoption. On the other hand, availability of trained professionals to handle BIM tools, proof of cost savings by its adoption and the BIM software affordability (in descending order) were found as the significant drivers to achieving a quick and effective BIM adoption. Recommendations were made based on the study findings.
Musculoskeletal disorders amongst workers of glass manufacturing unit of Western Uttar Pradesh

Glass manufacturing process is a very tiresome job and the working near by the furnace makes tasks more difficult for workers as the environment is very hot. Apart from working in a hot environment various awkward postures was adopted while performing various activities which are monotonous and repetitive in nature and resulted in discomfort of various body parts. The workers perform various task and activities in extremely hot environment for at least 6 hours a day. In order to identify the various discomfort body regions, a total of 120 samples were selected conveniently from one of the glass manufacturing unit of Western UP for body mapping exercise. The study findings revealed that 37.50 % respondent reported pain in their wrist followed by lower back (30.82 %) and knee pain (27.50 %.) The other discomfort regions in body were neck, shoulder, upper back, elbow/forearm, thigh and ankle and foot. The problem in the wrist were more prominent among blowers (59.46 %) followed by ball makers (50.00 %). While problem of lower back found to be more common among blowers (45.95 %) and mold closers(26.92 %) and helpers i.e.30.43 %. Relationship between task performed and the level of discomfort was found to be significant (at 5%) in neck, lower back, wrist/hand and shoulder region. Thus, the study reveals that due to the monotonous, repetitive and continuous task performed by the workers, there is an onset of musculoskeletal discomfort (MSD) which may lead to disorders in due course of time which will affect their life.
Privacy Preserving Synthetic Health Data

We examine the feasibility of using synthetic medical data generated by GANs in the classroom, to teach data science in health infor-matics. We present an end-to-end methodology to retain instructional utility, while preserving privacy to a level, which meets regulatory requirements: (1) a GAN is trained by a certified medical-data security-aware agent, inside a secure environment; (2) the final GAN model is used outside of the secure environment by external users (instructors or researchers) to generate synthetic data. This second step facilitates data handling for external users, by avoiding de-identification, which may require special user training, be costly, and/or cause loss of data fidelity. We benchmark our proposed GAN versus various baseline methods using a novel set of metrics. At equal levels of privacy and utility, GANs provide small footprint models, meeting the desired specifications of our application domain. Data, code, and a challenge that we organized for educational purposes are available.

Questioning the world by questioning the exam

This paper discusses the role of the exam and its impact on the teaching of mathematics using the notion of levels of codetermination from the anthropological theory of the didactics. It is argued that a discussion of exam in relation to study and research paths is crucial in order to succeed in changing the current teaching paradigm from “visiting monuments” to “questioning the world”.
Prominent Factors and Proposed Significant Solutions Relating to the Low Mathematics Achievement among Indigenous Populations of Western Australia.

This literature review examines the significant factors that contribute to low mathematics achievement among indigenous populations in Western Australia and the proposed solutions. All authors suggested that geographic location, or remoteness, cause significant problems for student achievement. Factors such as teacher inexperience, lack of skills, or questionable competence levels as well as cultural identities are discussed and related to poor mathematical achievement. In response to these factors causing low mathematical achievement, several significant solutions are offered to address the poor achievement results. These solutions emphasize the importance of group work and creating heterogeneous groups that allow students to connect to one another in a meaningful way. Moreover, maintaining cultural identity by using the home language is important to interactions amongst students and teachers. Finally, utilizing multiple entry points as a means to properly educate each student emphasizes placement into learning situations that require cooperation, creation of constructive ideas, and critical thinking.
PLUVIOMETRIA, BALANÇO HÍDRICO E PRODUTIVIDADE AGRÍCOLA PARA REGIÕES DA BAHIA E TOCANTINS

Dentre as alterações que os índices pluviométricos proporcionam nas atividades, a mais vulnerável a essas mudanças é a agricultura. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a qualidade dos dados pluviométricos anuais máximos no ajuste do modelo distribuição de Gumbel, realizar a estimativa de períodos de retorno para as precipitações máximas anuais, caracterizar os perfis da precipitação e, por meio da técnica de Quantis, demostrar a variabilidade temporal dos balanços hídricos climatológicos para microrregiões do estado da Bahia e de Tocantins, assim como verificar a dependência da produção agrícola com as precipitações. Com os dados de 1961 a 2016 para Barreiras e Taguatinga, foi possível construir o perfil histórico da precipitação, observando a ocorrência de eventos extremos máximos para a microrregião da Bahia e mínimos para a de Tocantins. A distribuição de probabilidade por Gumbel foi adequada na estimativa da intensidade de precipitação anual e suas frequências e permitiu observar que, a cada dois anos, pode ocorrer uma precipitação máxima anual igual ou superior a 1050 mm para Barreiras e 1400 mm para Taguatinga. O perfil histórico foi classificado através da técnica quantílica. Compararam-se os anos quantílicos com os dados de produção para as culturas de milho, soja e arroz. Houve uma tendência de aderência da precipitação anual máxima ao modelo probabilístico de Gumbel. Através do tempo de retorno foi possível observar que, a cada dois anos, existe a possibilidade de uma precipitação anual igual ou superior a 1050 e 1400 mm para Barreiras e Taguatinga, respectivamente. Ajustaram-se, por meio de modelo linear, as precipitações máximas anuais em relação ao aumento do período de retorno. É observada uma associação entre precipitação e produção agrícola, no período de análise para as localidades estudadas.

Making Spanish young women’s transition to adulthood visible: a biographical analysis in times of crisis

ABSTRACT Spain has suffered greatly from the consequences of the economic crisis, and these have affected young people’s transitions to adulthood. Using a biographical approach, we have analysed the educational, labour and personal pathways of a group of young women aged 26–28 over ten years (2000–2010). The qualitative methodology and the biographical approach allowed us to categorise five models of transition to adulthood, constructed from the interaction and intersection of four analytical variables: the centrality of work (paid or domestic and care work), attitudes (more or less dependence), the prevalence of traditional gender roles and the centrality of education/training. These models are framed in a macroeconomic context of strong economic and social crisis characterised by precariousness, a shortage of jobs and labour instability. The results of this study allowed us to make visible the situation of young women in Spain while offering possible solutions to their clear disadvantages and social vulnerability.
Information literacy is for life, not just for a good degree: a literature review

The concept and practice of information literacy has been widely discussed in library and information professional literature in recent years. In the main, these discussions have focussed on practice in Higher Education (HE), specifically on how librarians may be involved in developing the skills of students to enable them to maximise the use of academic resources, predominantly librarybased, in order to meet the requirements of learning outcomes of their courses. More recently this focus has widened to examine transition from school and Further Education (FE) into University but also into the workplace, recognising the UNESCO assertion that information literacy is a process for lifelong learning (UNESCO, 2006) (eg Antonesa, 2007, Julien & Barker, 2009). The identification of information literacy as an attribute of employability and the concepts, policies and practices of workplace information literacy is the subject of this review. Here, key texts are drawn from academic theoretical and practice-based research and official reports from stakeholders including government, professional associations and industry and commerce in order to provide an overview of the main issues around workplace information literacy, focusing on employability and transition, context and theory, practice and policy. The purpose of the review is to inform CILIP members of the wide range of issues in this developing area in order that they may contribute to its development at all levels in an informed manner.

Employment Data in Household Surveys: Taking Stock, Looking Ahead

Individual-level employment data have a wide range of applications. They are used to monitor labor markets and the Sustainable Development Goals, contribute to understanding and explaining socioeconomic conditions, and may help to design and inform labor market policies. This paper is relevant for academics and policy makers who want to understand the main survey design issues behind the collection of individual-level employment data in nationally representative household surveys and the implications for data quality, particularly for women and young people. The paper reviews four survey programs (Living Standards Measurement Study, Living Standards Measurement Study–Integrated Surveys on Agriculture, Labor Force Surveys, and Demographic and Health Surveys) in 14 developing countries. First, the paper reviews the Sustainable Development Goals to identify a core set of labor market indicators and briefly discusses the International Labour Organization's definitions of key concepts that shape these indicators. Second, it assesses whether the Sustainable Development Goals labor market indicators are captured in the reviewed surveys. Third, it takes stock of current approaches to collect employment data and discusses critical survey design features, such as the structure of the labor module and the wording of the questions. Fourth, the paper examines whether these survey design features are gender and age neutral. Data from the Living Standards Measurement Study–Integrated Surveys on Agriculture are used to illustrate these issues. The paper concludes by proposing short- and medium-term objectives to improve the data quality in the Living Standards Measurement Study–Integrated Surveys on Agriculture.
