Bringing Emotion into Learning through Imagination

My theme is the exploration of ways in which emotion can be brought into mainstream curriculum subjects by means of employing different forms of the imagination. My experiences in imaginative teaching have shown me that the young typically become engrossed in and enthusiastic about any subject matter as soon as an appeal is made to what children are best in: thinking imaginatively. A kind of ‘feeling-thinking’ can be nurtured in the young, that is both sociallyand morally-minded, through the use of storytelling, rich descriptions, metaphors, characterisation, wonder, relating things to one another, and (not least! ) humour. I will begin by describing the main theoretical frameworks that have inspired me to research imaginative teaching: those of Rudolf Steiner, founder of the Waldorf Schools, and Kieran Egan, Professor of Education at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby B.C., Canada. These two theorists maintain that the development of critical, flexible, moral and creative thinking, curiosity, depth and meaningfulness in learning are all enhanced when bringing together the emotions and the intellect, overcoming the divide that has crept into education over the last two centuries. Through teaching the mainstream curriculum in this way, the foundations for emotional development are laid, as emotion-enhanced thinking can become the habitual mode to approach every aspect of life that the young meet as they grow into adulthood. Next, to illustrate these different forms of imagination, I will describe some of my own experiences in teaching and advising trainee-teachers in their classroom practice in a variety of primary school settings in Cape Town, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam and a rural school in Kenya. Finally, I draw on my experiences and research in initial and continuing teacher education to make recommendations for the development of imagination in teaching, that has the potential to transform current modes of learning into exciting, meaningful and fulfilling explorations of subject matter that will have a profound effect on the emotional development of the young as well as the young at heart!
Sentimental Analysis of Twitter Data for Job Opportunities

- Informal communities are the fundamental assets to assemble data about individuals' feeling and notions towards various themes as they go through hours day by day on social Medias and share their opinion. Twitter can profoundly affect your pursuit of employment achievement – or scarcity in that department . Little advances can assist you with transforming Twitter into your very own pursuit of employment stage. We have gathered the tweets identified with employments utilizing python language and machine learning algorithms and sentimental analysis to secure the position openings. In this paper, we show the use of sentimental analysis and how to associate with Twitter also, run sentimental analysis queries. We run investigates various questions openings for work and show the intriguing results. We understood that in certain queries neutral notion for tweets are essentially high which unmistakably shows the confinements of the present work
DIET AND HUNTING BEHAVIOR OF THE CRANE HAWK IN TIKAL NATIONAL PARK, GUATEMALA

Abstract We studied the breeding diet and hunting behavior of Crane Hawks (Geranospiza caerulescens) in Tikal National Park, Petén, Guatemala in 1994 and 1995. We observed 227 prey items while conducting observations at six nesting attempts, and during opportunistic sightings in the breeding season. Among 181 identified prey items, rodents comprised 47.5%, lizards 19.9%, frogs 16.0%, bats 6.6%, birds 6.1%, and snakes 2.8%; a juvenile skunk also was represented. Rodents accounted for 77% of estimated biomass, including at least eight species representing terrestrial, cursorial, and arboreal habits. More than half of all prey items weighed <20 g, but 40% weighed >50 g; many were nocturnal species presumably taken from daytime hiding places. We observed hunting attempts in all strata of the forest and in several forest types. Hunting behavior included still-hunting from a perch and probing with head or feet in holes, bromeliads and other epiphytes, palm leaf axils, crotches of branches, behind bark in living and dead trees, and in puddles. Compared to other raptors studied at Tikal, the Crane Hawk had a moderately broad food niche that overlapped most with other raptors deemed dietary generalists. However, the Crane Hawk's unique anatomical features and hunting behavior enabled it to capture diurnally reclusive prey presumably unavailable to many other raptors, thus facilitating relatively low dietary overlap.

Novel α-Glucosidase from Aspergillus nidulans with Strong Transglycosylation Activity

ABSTRACT Aspergillus nidulans possessed an α-glucosidase with strong transglycosylation activity. The enzyme, designated α-glucosidase B (AgdB), was purified and characterized. AgdB was a heterodimeric protein comprising 74- and 55-kDa subunits and catalyzed hydrolysis of maltose along with formation of isomaltose and panose. Approximately 50% of maltose was converted to isomaltose, panose, and other minor transglycosylation products by AgdB, even at low maltose concentrations. The agdB gene was cloned and sequenced. The gene comprised 3,055 bp, interrupted by three short introns, and encoded a polypeptide of 955 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence contained the chemically determined N-terminal and internal amino acid sequences of the 74- and 55-kDa subunits. This implies that AgdB is synthesized as a single polypeptide precursor. AgdB showed low but overall sequence homology to α-glucosidases of glycosyl hydrolase family 31. However, AgdB was phylogenetically distinct from any other α-glucosidases. We propose here that AgdB is a novel α-glucosidase with unusually strong transglycosylation activity.
Intersectional geographies and COVID-19

We argue that it is time for geography as a discipline to embrace intersectionality. Using the COVID-19 pandemic as the subject of analysis, we raise questions for geographers about the novel coronavirus’ overlapping impacts. We argue that intersectional feminist approaches yield anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-oppressive research outcomes.
The Evolution of Ecological Specialization

The evolution of "niche breadth," or "niche width," was a more popular topic in the evolutionary ecological literature of the 1960s and 1970s than it has been recently (109, 118, 120, 134, 155, 156). This review summarizes current hypotheses on the evolution of specialization and generalization and suggests areas in which future research might be rewarding. The topic is so broad that every area of biology bears on it. We cannot hope to offer an exhaustive review of evidence and in particular have slighted much of the ecological literature to emphasize genetic and evolutionary perspectives. We limit our discussion almost entirely to animals. We adopt Hutchinson's (86) representation of a population's ecological niche as an n-dimensional hypervolume, the axes of which are environmental variables or resources. Along each of these, the population displays a wide or narrow tolerance or pattern of utilization, relative to other populations or species. Specialization and generalization must be defined with reference to particular axes (e.g. temperature, range of food particle sizes). Brown (9) suggests that niche breadth along different axes is positively correlated and that this explains positive correlations across species between local abundance and breadth of geographic range. Multidimensional specialization might be expected if species arise in localized regions that differ in several ecological respects from those occupied by parent species. Cody (20), however, suggested that the breadth of habitat is negatively correlated with diet breadth among certain bird species. In practice, quantitative measurement of niche breadth can be difficult (22,
Energy and Green house gas payback time analysis of an Air Breathing Fuel Cell Stack

Energy generation using fuel cells offers the possibility of high conversion efficiency and reduced pollution. An assessment of the environmental impact of fuel cells over the entire lifecycle is needed to determine the specific benefits in various application scenarios. Life cycle energy consumption and green house gas emission assessment must include a “cradle to grave” approach encompassing materials/manufacturing processes, fuel production, fuel compression and disposal/recycling. This paper deals with the analysis of Energy Payback Time (EPBT) and Green house gas Payback Time (GPBT) of anAir Breathing Fuel Cell (ABFC) stack, by estimating the embodied energy consumption and green house gas emissions within the whole lifecycle of the stack from the extraction of primary resources to the deployment including the manufacturing, usage and disposal phases. This analysis would be a useful tool for industry and government in estimating energy savings and environmental credits, and providing a holistic understanding on regulatory needs. In this paper, the life cycle energy consumption of a fabricated 100W ABFC Stack is found to be 313.7204 kWh, its Energy payback time (EPBT) is found to be 1.283 years (i.e., the time taken for the stack to generate the same amount of energy required for its life cycle which includes the energy requirement during its manufacturing, operation and disposal phases.) and the corresponding life cycle greenhouse gas emissions and Greenhouse gas payback time (GPBT) are found to be 103.14 kg CO2eq and 0.52 years accordingly. Energy payback period and Carbon payback period of 100W ABFC stack have been compared with 25 kW Roof top solar PV and 1.65 MW wind turbine.
Ion transport through channels formed in lipid bilayers by Staphylococcus aureus alpha-toxin.

Staphylotoxin channel appears to be predominantly anion-selective with non-linear and asymmetric current-voltage characteristics (CVC) at neu­ tral pH. Increased salt concentrations induce linearity and asymmetry of CVC and loss of selectivity. At lower pH both the channel conductivity and anion selectivity increase. Higher temperatures raise the channel conductivity in paral­ lel with the changes in electrical conductivity of the salt solution, but do not change selectivity. Experimental dependences are described obtained by ap­ proximation of electrical diffusion and considering the interactions of penetra­ ting ions with fixed charges at the entrances and the channel energy profile.
Some preliminary observations on the nature of factors influencing the excretion of non-dietary faecal nitrogen by ruminant animals

SUMMARY 1. When roughage rations of medium to high quality were given to steers and aduit sheep, the excretion of non-dietary faecal nitrogen was positively related to the intake of truly digestible dry matter. In these experiments no significant relationships were noted between non-dietary faecal nitrogen excretion and the intake of either truly digestible nitrogen or truly indigestible dry matter. 2. When concentrate rations containing 1.6–3.2% nitrogen were given to lambs weighing 19–27 kg the excretion of non-dietary faecal nitrogen was positively and significantly related to the intake of both truly digestible dry matter and truly indigestible dry matter, but not related to the amount of truly digestible nitrogen consumed. 3. Grinding and pelleting a grass ration for steers resulted in an increase in the excretion of non-dietary faecal nitrogen and bacterial + endogenous debris nitrogen, of 28 and 30% respectively, compared with the chopped material. 4. It is concluded that these responses reflect the dominating influence of nitrogen of microbial residues from the rumen and hind-gut on the excretion of bacterial + endogenous debris nitrogen and non-dietary faecal nitrogen.
Lactation curves for milk traits, live weight and body condition score for heavy and light Holstein-Friesian cows

Two genetic lines of Holstein-Friesian cows divergently selected for heavy and light live weight but with similar genetic merit for farm profitability have been developed at Massey University since 1989. The objective of this experimental project was to evaluate differences in production, fertility and feed efficiency between the two lines when they are managed on grazed pasture and submitted to a seasonal system of reproduction. This paper describe the shapes of the lactation curves for yields of milk, fat and protein, live weigh and body condition score of the two lines using the gamma function. Parameters of the gamma function for each of the traits were estimated for each of 84 cows using daily yields of milk, fat and protein and weekly measurements of live weight and body condition scores recorded during the production season 1998-99. Live weights and body condition scores of mature heavy and light cows at calving were 495 and 436 kg and 4.7 and 4.8 units, respectively. Respective values for first-calving cows were 397 and 352 kg live weight and 4.9 and 4.9 units of body condition score. Peak yields of milk, fat and protein for mature heavy (27.6 litres, 1.30 kg and 0.90 kg) were higher than for mature light (25.6 litres, 1.21 kg and 0.86 kg) cows but differences were not significant. Peaks of yield occurred between 27 and 31 days after calving with no significant differences between lines of cows. There were no significant differences between lines for changes in body condition score and persistency of milk, fat and protein production during lactation of mature cows. Compared to mature cows, first-calving cows had lower peak yields of milk, fat and protein. First-calving light cows were the most persistent and maintained the highest body condition score during lactation. Total predicted yields of milk, fat and protein for mature heavy (4,048 litres, 194 kg and 133 kg) were not significantly different from those for mature light (3,774 litres, 182 kg and 127 kg) cows. These results show that there are no significant differences in the shape of the lactation curve for heavy or light mature cows, but first-calving light cows maintained higher body condition score in late lactation.
Fine spatial scale phenotypic divergence in wood frogs (Lithobates sylvaticus)

I studied local divergence in growth, a trait previously shown to be both phenotypically plastic and heritable, among wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus (LeConte, 1825)) tadpoles inhabiting four ponds within a continuous woodland. Mark–recapture results revealed very low levels of migration among ponds as close as 35 m and no more than 185 m apart. Common garden experiments conducted at two temperatures revealed consistent year-to-year patterns of phenotypic divergence in tadpole growth performance among the four pond populations. The divergence in growth performance was conserved when controlling for parental effects via half-sibling experiments. Results of cross-transplant experiments suggest that the divergence in tadpole growth reflected either genetic drift or adaptation to local pond conditions. Taken together, the results suggest that divergence in growth performance among the tadpoles from the four ponds is the result of selection or genetic drift reinforced by low levels of gene flow among pond pop.
First Records of Ceroplastes floridensis Comstock (Hemiptera: Coccidae) and Chrysomphalus pinnulifer (Maskell) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) in Tunisia

2 New records are important for documenting new distributional data and for alerting researchers to a potential new pest. The scale insect fauna (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) of Tunisia has been little studied and is still poorly known. Additions are continuously reported resulting from faunistic studies including our report of Coccus pseudomagnoliarum (Kuwana) from the Cap Bon region (Jendoubi et al., 2008). Here we report two additional species of scale insects as new country records for Tunisia: Ceroplastes floridensis Comstock (Coccidae) and Chry som - phalus pinnulifer (Maskell) (Diaspididae). Brief comments on zoogeographical distribution and the pest status of each species are provided. Both species were collected during a survey in autumn 2009 listing species of scale insects in the main citrus-growing regions of Tunisia: Nabeul (northeast), and Beja and Jen - douba (northwest). All slide-mounted females were identified at the Univer sity of Catania, referring to the keys of Balachowsky (1956), McKenzie (1956), Hamon and Williams (1984) and Pellizzari and Camporese (1994).
Effect of Capparis decidua on hypolipidemic activity in rats

The effect of various extracts (50% ethanolic) of Capparis decidua on lipid profile of streptozotocin diabetic rats was studied. The extract was administered to the diabetic models for 30days. The extract produced a significant (p<0.05) dose-dependent decrease in the levels of total cholesterol (TC), Triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), with a significant increase in the level High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C). The extracts of C. deciduasprove to have a hypolipidemic potential. Key words: Capparis decidua, diabetes, hypolipidemic.
Productivity and thinning effects in hybrid aspen ( Populus tremula L. × P. tremuloides Michx.) stands in southern Sweden

Summary The productivity of hybrid aspen stands in southern Sweden, originating from clone selections performed during the 1980s, was investigated. Thirteen former research and demonstration sites were included. Repeated measurements of tree diameters and heights were taken, from which yields were estimated. The results indicate that the mean annual increment, obtained without any artifi cial addition of fertilizers or irrigation, will exceed 20 m 3 of stem wood ha � � a � � during a 20 – 25-year rotation period. This corresponds to a total average woody biomass production, including branches, of over 8 tonnes dry matter ha �� a �� . These production levels show that hybrid aspen is a competitive alternative for short rotation forestry in Sweden, and that the clone selection programme has greatly enhanced productivity, compared with published growth rates of the material previously used. For comparison, two stands that regenerated via root suckers from material used in the breeding programme up to the 1960s were included. They showed higher growth than the 13 planted stands, mainly due to higher stem density and faster height development. This indicates that even further increases in hybrid aspen yield are possible in stands derived from suckers of the most recently selected clones. Thinning studies, including three different weights of thinning, were carried out on fi ve of the sites. Five years after the start of the treatments, stands given no thinning showed signifi cantly higher current annual increment, but signifi cantly smaller mean stem diameter than stands in which thinning was applied. However, the faster diameter development (and thus higher volumes of valuable wood assortments) associated with heavier thinnings may compensate economically under current market conditions for the loss in total volume production.
Cantharellus rubescens, a New Chanterelle from the Brazilian Semi-Arid

Abstract Cantharellus rubescens is described and illustrated as new species from the semiarid of Northeastern Brazil. It is recognized by orange-yellow basidiomes, hymenophore and contex with a strong reddening-orange reaction, scaly stipe, basidiospores measuring 6-7.5(-9) × 4-5(-5.5) µm and having thick-walled (1-1.5 µm), terminal elements in the pileipellis. Morphological differences with other, orange-yellow Brazilian Cantharellus species are discussed, such as C. aurantioconspicuus, C. guyanensis and C. protectus.
WINTER HOME RANGE AND HABITAT USE OF FEMALE NORTHERN SAW-WHET OWLS ON ASSATEAGUE ISLAND, MARYLAND

Abstract We quantified home range size and habitat selection of seven female Northern Saw-whet Owls (Aegolius acadicus) on Assateague Island, Maryland, during the winters of 1996 and 1997. Home range size (95% fixed kernel) was 103.5 ha (± 50.3 SE). Home range size increased with time spent radio tracking as biweekly home ranges were smaller than those calculated for longer time periods. Home ranges often overlapped in time and space and in one instance the home range for one owl was completely within that of another owl. Northern Saw-whet Owls used primarily pine woods and shrub swamp habitats, with pine woods used more often than any other habitat type and significantly more than expected based on habitat availability.
Sulfation of Agrocybe chaxingu polysaccharides can enhance the immune response in broiler chicks

SUMMARY In this study, our objective was to compare the effects of sulfated Agrocybe chaxingu polysaccharide (saCP) and nonsulfated aCP (naCP) on lymphocyte proliferation in vitro and immune-enhancing activity in broiler chicks. In the in vitro test, 3 saCP with different degrees of sulfation—saCP0.83, saCP1.32, and saCP 1.79—were used to study the peripheral lymphocyte proliferation using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay with naCP as the control. On the basis of this test, saCP 1.32 and saCP 1.79 were selected for the in vivo test. In the in vivo test, 300 one-day-old chicks were randomly divided into 5 groups (negative control, vaccine control, naCP, saCP 1.32, and saCP 1.79). Chicks in the vaccine control and aCP groups were vaccinated with newcastle disease (nD) vaccine at 10 d of age, with a booster dose at 21 d of age. at the time of the first vaccination, the chicks in the 3 aCP groups were injected with naCP, saCP 1.32, and saCP 1.79, whereas those in the vaccine control group were injected with 0.5 ml of physiological saline once a day for 3 successive days. In comparison to naCP, saCP 1.32 and saCP 1.79 significantly increased the relative weight of the thymus and spleen at 22 d of age, enhanced serum nD antibody titers at 16, 22, 28, 34, and 42 d of age, and enhanced splenic t- and B-lymphocyte proliferation at 22 and 28 d of age. Furthermore, saCP 1.32 and saCP 1.79 could induce significant augmented levels of interferon-γ and Il-6. Sulfation could enhance both cellular and humoral immunity in broiler chicks on a degrees of sulfation basis. the saCP 1.79 exerted the best efficacy and would be expected to be immunopotentiator molecule during nD vaccination in broilers.
