Workplace learning as a field of inquiry: A Canadian-US comparison

This comparative study explored differences in perceptions between Canadian and US post secondary faculty in the fields of adult education (AdEd) and human resource development (HRD) on program development issues in the emerging field of “workplace learning”. In fall of 2001, The Adult Education and Human Resource Development Faculty Survey was electronically disseminated to a selected sample of Canadian and US faculty across both countries. The authors examine respondents' perceptions of: their program's curricular focus on the individual students' learning needs compared to the organization development goals of their current or potential employers; the importance of specific skills to the role of “workplace learning practitioner” compared to skill building opportunities present in the program; and the degree of cooperation between their academic programs and businesses that employs, or potentially employs, graduates from these programs. The findings reveal differences in the manner in which Canadian and.
A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials to Compare Long-Term Outcomes of Nissen and Toupet Fundoplication for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Aim In recent years, several studies with large sample sizes and recent follow-up data have been published comparing outcomes between laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication. It is now timely to be re-evaluated and synthesized long-term efficacy and adverse events of both total and partial posterior fundoplication. Materials and Methods Electronic searches for RCTs comparing the outcome after laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication were performed in the databases of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Center Register of Controlled Trials. The data of evaluation in positive and adverse results of laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication were extracted and compared using meta-analysis. Results 13 RCTs were ultimately identified involving 814 (52.05%) and 750 (47.95%) patients who underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication, respectively. The operative time, perioperative complications, postoperative satisfaction, recurrence, and the rates of medication adoption or re-operation due to recurrence were not significantly different between two groups. The two types of fundoplication both reinforced the anti-reflux barrier and elevated the lower esophageal sphincter pressure. However, rates of adverse results involving dysphasia, gas-bloat syndrome, inability to belch and re-operation due to severe dysphasia were significantly higher after LNF. In the subgroup analysis of wrap length≤2cm, laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication was associated with a significantly higher incidence of postoperative dysphagia. However, in the subgroup wrap length>2cm, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion Laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication might be the better surgery approach for gastroesophageal reflux disease with a lower rate of postoperative adverse results and equal effectiveness as Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication.

Non‐invasive genetic identification of small mammal species using real‐time polymerase chain reaction

DNA identification of non‐invasive samples is a potentially useful tool for monitoring small mammal species. Here we describe a novel method for identifying five small mammal species: wood mouse, bank vole, common shrew, pygmy shrew and water shrew. Species‐specific real‐time polymerase chain reaction primers were designed to amplify fragments of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene from hair and scat samples. We also amplified nuclear DNA from scats, demonstrating their potential as a source of DNA for population genetic studies.
Health Utilities of Type 2 Diabetes-Related Complications: A Cross-Sectional Study in Sweden

This study estimates health utilities (HU) in Sweden for a range of type 2 diabetes-related complications using EQ-5D and two alternative tariffs (UK and Swedish) from 1757 patients with type 2 diabetes from the Swedish National Diabetes Register (NDR). Ordinary least squares were used for statistical analysis. Lower HU was found for female gender, younger age at diagnosis, higher BMI, and history of complications. Microvascular and macrovascular complications had the most negative effect on HU among women and men, respectively. The greatest decline in HU was associated with kidney disorders (−0.114) using the UK tariff and stroke (−0.059) using the Swedish tariff. Multiple stroke and non-acute ischaemic heart disease had higher negative effect than a single event. With the UK tariff, each year elapsed since the last microvascular/macrovascular complication was associated with 0.013 and 0.007 units higher HU, respectively. We found important heterogeneities in effects of complications on HU in terms of gender, multiple event, and time. The Swedish tariff gave smaller estimates and so may result in less cost-effective interventions than the UK tariff. These results suggest that incorporating subgroup-specific HU in cost-utility analyses might provide more insight for informed decision-making.
Exploring Person Fit with an Approach Based on Multilevel Logistic Regression

The idea that test scores may not be valid representations of what students know, can do, and should learn next is well known. Person fit provides an important aspect of validity evidence. Person fit analyses at the individual student level are not typically conducted and person fit information is not communicated to educational stakeholders. In this study, we focus on a promising method for detecting and conveying person fit for large-scale educational assessments. This method uses multilevel logistic regression (MLR) to model the slopes of the person response functions, a potential source of person misfit for IRT models. We apply the method to a representative sample of students who took the writing section of the SAT (N = 19,341). The findings suggest that the MLR approach is useful for providing supplemental evidence of model–data fit in large-scale educational test settings. MLR can be useful for detecting general misfit at global and individual levels. However, as with other model–data fit indices, the MLR approach is limited in providing information regarding only some types of person misfit.
Does social capital predict happiness, health, and life satisfaction in an urban Australian community?

Abstract This paper investigates the extent to which social capital and participation in community activities predicts happiness, health, and life satisfaction in Australia. Residents of a Gold Coast suburb completed a random door‐to‐door survey, with a 74% response rate (n = 249). Ordinal regression analyses revealed that only two elements of social capital—Value of Life and Feelings of Trust and Safety—predicted happiness (β = 0.4, P = 0.00; β = 0.12, P = 0.00), life satisfaction (β = 0.46, P = 0.00; β = 0.09, P = 0.02), and health (β = 0.29, P =0.00; β = 0.11, P = 0.00). In terms of community activities, not participating in social activities predicted both unhappiness (β = ‐0.16, P = 0.05) and reduced life satisfaction (β = ‐0.20, P = 0.01). Such findings suggest that how social capital is defined and measured is important, as only two of the seven elements—life satisfaction and health—predicted happiness. The key implication is that implementing strategies, initiatives, and urban designs that facilitate feelings of trust and safety may foster health, happiness, and life satisfaction.
The SOUL tool suite for querying programs in symbiosis with Eclipse

Program queries can answer important software engineering questions that range from "which expressions are cast to this type? " over "does my program attempt to read from a closed file? " to "does my code follow the prescribed design? ". In this paper, we present a comprehensive tool suite for querying Java programs. It consists of the logic program query language Soul, the Cava library of predicates for quantifying over an Eclipse workspace and the Eclipse plugin Barista for launching queries and inspecting their results. Barista allows other Eclipse plugins to peruse program query results which is facilitated by the symbiosis of Soul with Java -- setting Soul apart from other program query languages. This symbiosis enables the Cava library to forego the predominant transcription to logic facts of the queried program. Instead, the library queries the actual AST nodes used by Eclipse itself, making it trivial for any Eclipse plugin to find the AST nodes that correspond to a query result. Moreover, such plugins do not have to worry about having queried stale program information. We illustrate the extensibility of our suite by implementing a tool for co-evolving source code and annotations using program queries.
Active learning in parallel universes

This work addresses two challenges in combination: learning with a very limited number of labeled training examples (active learning) and learning in the presence of multiple views for each object where the global model to be learned is spread out over some or all of these views (learning in parallel universes). We propose a new active learning approach which selects the best samples to query the label with the goal of improving overall model accuracy and determining which universe contributes most to the local model. The resulting combination and class-specific weighting of universes provides a significantly better classification accuracy than traditional active learning methods.
The design of course architecture for big data

Big data is one of the hottest topic in not only academic but also enterprise, which provide grate requirements for the people with knowledge and experiences of big data. However, current education architecture of computer science could not provide sufficient training for big data. For the education for people suitable for big data era, we attempt to design a novel course architecture. Such course architecture will not change the skeleton of traditional course architecture of computer science but just add content and subjects that is adaptive for big data. In this paper, we discuss the goal, architecture and content of the course architecture.

Functional Analysis of the Human N-Acetyltransferase 1 Major Promoter: Quantitation of Tissue Expression and Identification of Critical Sequence Elements

Arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) plays an important role in the biotransformation of xenobiotics, and genetic variants have been implicated in susceptibility to cancer and birth defects. A specific and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay for transcription from the major NAT1 promoter detected high expression with limited variability in human tissues. A 213-base pair (bp) minimal promoter was identified by transfection of luciferase reporter constructs into MCF-7 and HepG2 cell lines. Alignment of the 213-bp region with paralogous and orthologous promoters revealed two conserved region segments, one of which overlaps a 16-bp perfect palindrome. Transfection of luciferase constructs with artificial mutations in the minimal promoter defined two sites important for promoter function. One of these sites included a close match to the Sp1 transcription factor binding consensus sequence. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs), followed by competitive and supershift analyses, confirmed the Sp1 binding. Mutation of the highly conserved portion of the 16-bp palindrome reduced promoter activity more than 3-fold, and an EMSA shift was detected with an oligonucleotide, 200L29, which spans this segment. The 200L29 EMSA shift could not be competed by consensus Sp1 or AP-2 oligonucleotides, and may represent binding of a transcription factor that is common to N-acetyltransferase genes in humans and other species.
An Approach to Mosquito Control: Using the Dominant Attraction of Flowering Tamarix jordanis Trees Against Culex pipiens

Abstract In this study, we identified blossoms that attract Culex pipiens L. s.l. in a Mediterranean habitat by using branches of 26 common plant species as baits for traps. The highest catch, 60.5% of the total, by flowers of Tamarix jordanis Boiss. , was ≈6 times greater than the 10.7% caught by flowering Polygonum equisetiforme Sm. , and 10 times higher than the 6.6% caught by flowers of Acacia saligna (Lindle) H. L. Wendl. The catch elicited by the other plants ranged between 4.0 and 0.1%. Plant attraction also was evaluated in a field situation. Experimental and control sites were similar strips of vegetation along water channels with T. jordanis trees in the center. In the experimental site, these trees were sprayed with sucrose solution, food dye, and oral insecticide (Spinosad). Concurrently, patches of plant species and trees in the control site were sprayed with solutions of sucrose and different food dye markers. Cx. pipiens populations in both sites were monitored. The highest proportion (65.2%) of the marked mosquitoes in the control site carried the dye of flowering T. jordanis. The dye of flowering P. equisetiforme and that of A. saligna were found, respectively, in 8.1 and 3.5% of the labeled mosquitoes. The marker of reed groups (Phragmites australis [Cav.] Steudel) above the water was found in 19.4% of mosquitoes, whereas the different marker of dry land reeds was found in only 0.4% of the labeled mosquitoes. In the experimental site, after treatment, the mosquitoes decreased from ≈255 per trap to ≈24 mosquitoes per trap, whereas the catch in the control site reached ≈400 mosquitoes per trap.
Try Harder? Motivational Effects of Effort Attributional Feedback. ERIC Digest.

Much motivational research has examined the role of attributions, or perceived causes of outcomes (Pintrich & Schunk, 2002). Attributions are important because theory and research show that attributions have differential effects on motivation (Weiner, 1992). There are many different attributions; for example, ability, effort, task ease/difficulty, luck, strategy use, help from others, environmental conditions. Of all attributions none has been studied more than effort. Effort is a commonly used attribution and also highly valued by parents, teachers, counselors, coaches, and employers (Schunk, 1982; Weiner, 1992). This article addresses the effects of effort attributional feedback on motivation and performance. Effort attributional feedback is oral or written feedback by others that links performance outcomes with effort (Schunk, 1983). By understanding the role of effort attributional feedback, parents and practitioners will be able to work with students and clients to help them develop beliefs that facilitate motivation and performance.
Entropy-driven DNA denaturation.

We present a nonlinear dynamical model for DNA denaturation which includes cooperativity effects through [ital anharmonic] nearest-neighbor stacking interactions. Transfer-integral calculations show that this one-dimensional model, without including long-range interactions, exhibits a sharp denaturation reminiscent of a first-order transition at a temperature lower than a similar model with harmonic coupling. Self-consistent phonon calculations point out the essential role of nonlinear effects in the mechanism.
Why and How Do Theory Groups Get Ahead in Organization Science? Groundwork for a Theory of Discursive Moves

When different theory groups (groups of scholars sharing a common set of modeling assumptions and methods of legitimating arguments) vie to explain a particular phenomenon or solve a problem relevant to the study of organizations, which one will emerge as the dominant one in the literature and why? This paper attempts to answer these questions by developing a model of interactions between theory groups and the fields of knowledge these groups try to take over. Dominant groups manage to assimilate, reduce or eliminate the content of other fields of knowledge in order to broaden their own legitimacy. To do so, they make use of discursive moves in the conceptual, methodological and substantive planes of their theories. The model is illustrated with interactions among theory groups the multi-paradigmatic field of the study of organizations.

New intracellular mechanisms involved in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia

Dementia causes an increasing social and economic burden worldwide, demanding action regarding its diagnosis, treatment and everyday management. Recent years have seen many advances in neurodegeneration research, but the search for new truly disease modifying therapies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) has so far not been successful. This is mainly due to a lack of understanding of the precise intracellular events that lead up to neuronal dysfunction in early and in late stages of the disease. This thesis describes the approaches taken to extend the current knowledge about the intracellular effects of neuronal amyloid-β and the signalling pathways causing neuronal death or disturbed synaptic function in dementia. Endophilin-1 (Ep-1), amyloid-binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD), peroxiredoxin-2 (Prx-2) and the EF-hand domain family, member D2 (EFHD2) have been found to be elevated in the human brain with dementia and in mouse models for frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) or AD. The expression of these proteins as well as the expression of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), c-Jun and APP were analysed by western blotting and real-time PCR in human brains affected by AD or FTLD as well as in mouse models for AD. This provided a new insight into the regulation of these proteins in relation to each other in the aging brain and uncovered a new potential link between elevated levels of EFHD2, Prx-2 and APP in FTLD. By studying the effects of the overexpression of Ep-1 in neurons, this research has led to a better understanding of its role in JNK-activation. It furthermore verified a protective role for Prx-2 against neurotoxicity and pointed towards a new function for Prx-2 in the regulation of JNK-signalling. The analysis of the
