Phenology and production of guava tree cv. “Paluma” pruned at different seasons in Mossoro – RN, Brazil.

The pruning allows fruit harvest in different periods, according to the grower decision, being economically viable. The harvest can be scheduled according to the agronomical traits and due to the market price. The experiment was conducted in the didactic orchard of the Federal University of the Semi-Arid Region (UFERSA), from April 2013 to December 2014, in the municipality of Mossoro-RN. It was carried out in a randomized block design, with treatments arranged in a split-plot, which were composed by pruning periods, conducted in April (2013), November (2013) and July (2014). The subplots consisted of pruning intensities (short, medium and long); with four repetitions, where the experimental unit consisted of two plants that was pruned with 8 marked branches. From pruning to harvest, the the following botanical characteristics were evaluated in the marked branches: number of emitted sprouts by branches pruned at the day 15th (NBE); number of established branches by branches pruned at the day 50th (NRE); number of productive branches (NRP); vegetative number (VRN) and the total number of fruits (NFT). The evaluated characteristics presented a significant effect. The long pruning resulted in a higher number of fruits for all evaluated seasons. The best months for pruning was November and July. The guava tree ‘Paluma’ cycle, from pruning to harvest can vary according to the period of pruning, with 132 days in July and 150 days in April. durando entre 132 em julho a 150 dias em abril.
Adjunct Faculty Perceptions on Professional Development Offered and Needed By Institution Type and Career Cluster

This study examined the perceptions of adjunct faculty in higher education to gather their opinion on professional development that was offered and the professional development they feel is needed and whether institution type or career cluster was significant in determining their perception. This causal-comparative, quantitative research study utilized an online survey and included 220 adjuncts from within the United States. The study utilized one-way ANOVA to determine if there were statistically significant differences in means between the institution types and career clusters of adjunct faculty related to professional development offered and needed. It was found that there were statistically significant differences in the professional development offered and needed for both the institution types and career clusters. The resulting analysis provides recommendations for academic leaders to the significance of the institution type and the adjunct’s career cluster in fulfilling the needs of adjuncts when planning professional development.

Constraints Facing Successful Implementation of the Competency-Based Curriculum in Kenya

Kenya is in the process of shifting from content-based to competency-based system of education. Teachers are likely to face challenges when implementing a new curriculum especially in relation to the content and subject demarcations, the underlying assumptions, goals, teaching approaches and assessment methods. In this regard, this study was conducted to investigate the constraints likely to face successful implementation of the competency based curriculum in Machakos County, Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive survey design targeting all the 8,320 teachers in all the 828 public primary schools in Machakos County, Kenya. Stratified random sampling was used to select 342 teachers in charge of grades one to three where competency based curriculum was being implemented. A questionnaire and an observation checklist were used as tools for data collection. The study established that teachers were not fully prepared for the implementation of new curriculum; infrastructures available in schools were not adequate for successful implementation of competency based curriculum; the government hurriedly implemented CBC in schools without first addressing challenges such as understaffing, inadequacy of teaching and learning material and unfriendly teaching and learning environment. The study recommends that the Ministry of Education should invest more on teacher training and involve teachers in curriculum change process to create a positive attitude among them for successful implementation of Competency Based Curriculum.

Detecting contract cheating: examining the role of assessment type

ABSTRACT This article contributes to an emerging body of research on the role of assessment design in the prevention and detection of contract cheating. Drawing on the largest contract cheating dataset gathered to date (see cheatingandassessment.edu.au), this article examines the types of assignments and exams in which students self-reported having engaged in some form of third-party cheating, and compares this with the types of assignments and exams in which staff self-reported detection of third-party cheating. The article outlines three key findings. Firstly, students most commonly reported cheating in the context of exams (particularly multiple-choice exams), yet staff reported the detection of cheating in exams relatively rarely. Secondly, students reported cheating in traditional written assignments, such as reports and essays, at slightly lower rates than exams, however staff detection rates for these assignments were far higher than for exams. So third-party cheating was reported by students as occurring most commonly in exams, yet it was detected most commonly by staff in assignments. And thirdly, staff detection rates relative to student cheating rates were typically highest for text-rich assessments – regardless of whether they were invigilated (e.g., essay under exam conditions) or not (e.g., essay). These findings challenge simplistic advice in the literature and public debate that universities should move away from text-based assignments and towards invigilated exams as a means to prevent contract cheating. While text-rich forms of assessment are not immune to contract cheating, exams are not inherently secure. While staff appear to be practised at detecting cheating in the context of student writing, greater awareness is needed to improve the detection of cheating in exams.
Vocabulary Learning Strategies Preference Used By The Seventh Grade Students of SMP Negeri 1 Mlati

This research investigated English vocabulary learning strategies employed by the seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Mlati. This research aimed to find the most and least frequently vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) employed by the seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Mlati. The participants of this research were one hundred and twenty-eight students in SMP Negeri 1 Mlati. A 20-item questionnaire was adapted from Schmitt's Vocabulary Learning Strategies Taxonomy. The research data were analyzed utilizing descriptive and inferential statistics through SPSS program version 23. The result of this survey revealed that the students belonged to low users of VLS. Social strategies were the most frequently used strategies. Memory strategies were the least frequently utilized strategies. The finding also revealed that there was no significant difference in the use of VLS among male and female students.
Awake epidural anesthesia for laparotomy in an obese patient with severe lung disease and difficult airway

Anaesthetizing a patient for laparotomy who has co-existing lung disease, difficult airway and obesity is a major anesthetic challenge. We are describing the anesthetic management of an obese patient suffering from severe interstitial lung disease and a difficult airway who underwent laparotomy for excision of a large mesenteric cyst. Surgery was successfully performed under segmental epidural anesthesia. The pre-operative problems and peri-operative management is discussed. We suggest that epidural anesthesia can be used for successfully managing similar patients. Support was provided solely from institutional and departmental sources. The authors have obtained Institutional Review Board approval and informed written consent from the patient for publishing the details of her treatment.
BINDING AND CONTRACTION-INDUCING ACTIVITY OF MOTILIN ANALOGUES

We have previously shown the motilin-binding activity in the rabbit and human antral and duodenal smooth muscle. In the present paper, we describe our further studies on the binding and contraction-inducing activity of two analogues of canine motilin (ca-motilin) and several fragments of porcine motilin (po-motilin). The ability to inhibit the membrane binding of po-motilin and to induce the duodenal contraction was markedly reduced in lys1- and serl-ca-motilin. The N-terminal fragment (1-5) of motilin poorly inhibited the po-binding, and induced a weak contraction at 1 ,uM. The C-terminal fragment (17-22) did not exert any inhibition on po-motilin binding and did not cause any contraction. Fragments po-(1-J1) and (7-22) inhibited the po-motilin binding only slightly, and po-(12-22) did not cause any inhibition. It appears that in addition to the N-terminal portion of motilin, the residue beyond position 14 is also required to form the active site of this molecule.

Pharmacist input into patients' self-reporting of adverse drug reactions

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are common and should be reported to the CSM, particularly for newly marketed drugs. There is under-reporting of ADRs by doctors. Involving the patient in self-reporting, particularly when initiated by pharmacists is feasible and could help to improve reporting rates. This study investigated a comprehensive checklist questionnaire listed symptoms in all body systems to facilitate patient self-reporting using both established and new 'black triangle' centrally-acting drugs. Symptoms reported were compared to their documentation in medical notes and for new drugs to reports from other sources. A novel classification system for ADRs was developed to take account of the minimal data available and used to evaluate the potential accuracy of symptom attribution by patients. An external comparison of a sample of symptom classifications by an ADR expert was also obtained. The questionnaire was sent to 464 patients prescribed carbamazepine, sodium valproate, trazodone, doxepin and co-proxamol from three participating medical practices in a pilot study. Subsequently, it was sent to all patients (n=2307) prescribed tramadol, fentanyl patch, venlafaxine, nefazodone, citalopram, moclobemide, gabapentin, lamotrigine and topiramate from 79 participating medical practices in Grampian during January-March 1997. The overall response rates were 44.6% (n=207) for the pilot study and 36.3% (n=837) for the main study. The most frequently reported symptoms were: drowsiness for carbamazepine, unusual tiredness for sodium valproate, constipation for co-proxamol, dry mouth for trazodone, doxepin, tramadol, venlafaxine, nefazodone, moclobemide and citalopram, weight gain for gabapentin, loss of memory for lamotrigine, weight loss for topiramate and constipation for fentanyl patch. Overall only 22.4% (522/2330) of symptoms reported by patients were recorded by GPs in the 310 medical notes accessed. In general, common symptoms were reported more frequently by patients than in CSM reports and PEM data. Patients tended to report minor and known ADRs which bothered them, while CSM and PEM reports received were of more severe ADRs. Respondents were more likely to report symptoms (6040/8630,70%) potentially caused by the study drugs than those not to be caused by the study drugs. Moderate agreement (Kappa = 0.4-0.5) was found between expert and researcher classifications of symptom causality. It is suggested that interpretation by pharmacists of patient self-reporting using the checklist questionnaire could result in much higher ADR reporting rates, in particular for new drugs.
Shear Band Characterization of Clayey Soils with Particle Image Velocimetry

Identifying the spatial distribution of deformation and shear band characteristics is important for accurately modeling soil behavior and ensuring the safety of nearby geotechnical structures. However, most research on the shear behavior of soils has focused on granular soil and clay-rich rocks, with little focus on clayey soil, and the entire shearing process from the initial state to failure has not been observed. This study evaluated the spatial distribution and evolution of deformation in clayey soils from the initial state to the post-failure state and the shear band characteristics. Plane strain tests were performed on normally consolidated and over-consolidated clay specimens, and digital images were captured through a transparent side wall for particle image velocimetry (PIV) analysis. PIV was performed to evaluate the displacement and deformation of soil particles. The results show that the shear-strain behaviors of two clays during the shearing process could be divided into four stages: initial, peak, softening, and steady state. Shear bands were observed to form in the softening stage, and the shear band slopes were compared to values in the literature. These results can be used to characterize shear bands in clay as well as predict failure behavior and guide reinforcement at actual sites with soft ground.
Evaluation of Optimization-Based EV Charging Scheduling with Load Limit in a Realistic Scenario

In the literature, optimization-based approaches are frequently proposed for the control of electric vehicle charging. However, they are usually evaluated under simplifying assumptions and are not compared to more simple approaches. The present work compares optimization-based approaches with rule-based ones in a simple but realistic scenario, in which a certain limit for the total load has to be satisfied. The scenario is based on the situation at an office building in Germany. In simulation experiments, different control approaches are evaluated not only in terms of pure performance but also from an economic perspective. The results indicate that, although the optimization-based approaches outperform the rule-based approaches, they are not always the right choice from an economic point of view.
Morphological variations of human adult spleens in a cohort of Sri Lankan population: a cadaveric study

Introduction Spleen is an organ enriched in vascular and lymphoid tissue located in left hypochondrium. It has morphological variations which may be misinterpreted as a disease condition involving the spleen. Therefore, knowledge on such morphological differences in a population is vital to distinguish normal variations from the disease conditions. Objective of this study was to identify the morphological variations such as notches, fissures and lobulations in cadavers. Methods Ten-percent formalin fixed, selfdonated cadaveric human spleens (n=13) in the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo were included in the present study. In the study population, male to female ratio was 10: 3 with age ranging from 26 to 95 years. The morphological features such as shape, notching of borders, fissures and lobulations were photographed, dissected and analyzed according to Michels NA classification. The morphological types of spleens were categorized by measuring hilar lengths. Results Notches were present in superior (n=8), inferior (n= 1) or intermediate (n=2) borders in ten spleens, while notches were absent in three. Five spleens had supernumerary notches. Six spleens contained fissures in both visceral and diaphragmatic surfaces. Four spleens had more than three lobules, while three had more than one hilum. The splenic types included compact, intermediate and distributed, which accounted for four, three and sixrespectively. Conclusion Inconstant location of notches, presence of supernumerary notches, fissures and lobules were a common morphological variation observed.
iCASM: An Information-Centric Network Architecture for Wide Area Measurement Systems

Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) use an underlying communication network to collect and analyze data from devices in the power grid, aimed to improve grid operations. For WAMS to be effective, the communication network needs to support low packet latency and low packet losses. Internet Protocol (IP), the pervasive technology used in today’s communication networks uses loop-free best-paths for data forwarding, which increases the load on these paths causing delays and losses in delivery. Information-Centric Networking (ICN), a new networking paradigm, designed to enable a data-centric information sharing, natively supports the concurrent use of multiple transmission interfaces, in-networking caching, as well as per-packet security and can provide better application support. In this paper, we present iCASM, an ICN-based network architecture for wide area smart grid communications. We demonstrate through simulations that iCASM achieves low latency and 100% data delivery even during network congestion by leveraging multiple available paths; thus significantly improving communication resiliency in comparison to an IP-based approach. iCASM can be used immediately on today’s Internet as an overlay.
The Relationship between Faculty Members’ Job Satisfaction and Perceptions of Organizational Politics

This study aimed to investigate not only the level of faculty members’ views on job satisfaction and their perceptions of organizational politics but also the relationship between their job satisfaction and perceptions of organizational politics. The study intended to examine how well faculty members’ job satisfaction can predict the perceptions of organizational politics as well. The descriptive relational survey model dominated the research. The study group consisted of 240 faculty members who work for 7 state and 7 private universities located in Ankara city. Data were collected using the Job Satisfaction Scale for Academicians (JSSA), and Perceptions of Organizational Politics Scale (POPS) Questionnaire along with a demographic information form developed by the researchers. Data were collected in September and October in 2019. Descriptive statistic (mean, standard deviation), reliability (Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient), correlation (Pearson coefficient) and Multiple Linear Regression were used to analyze the data. SPSS v. 23 was referred to in doing so. The main findings indicated that the faculty members’ job satisfaction total and nature of the job sub-dimension scores were at a very high level while organizational policy sub-dimension scores were high. Faculty members’ scores on “Go along to get ahead” were the highest and they appeared uncertain about “General political behavior” and “Honesty / Work ethics”. The JSSA subscales were moderately and positively correlated with the POPS subscales. The regression result demonstrated that the JSSA’s intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction dimensions significantly and positively predicted the POPS subscales.
