Integration of theory and practice in social work education. Analysis of Finnish social work students’ field reports

ABSTRACT In social work education, we strive for integration of theory and practice in educating research-based professionals. What do social work students think about this? Are they eager to integrate theory and practice or does practice perhaps win students’ interest? The article explores how second year bachelor level social work students at a Finnish university construct themselves as learners in relation to theory and practice. The article utilizes the integrative pedagogy model, which combines different kind of knowledges needed in developing professional expertise: theoretical, practical, sociocultural, and self-regulative, reflective knowledges. Students’ reflective field reports serve as data, which is analyzed by category analysis. In their reports, students categorize themselves as integrators but also as challengers. The integrators apply knowledge from university classes to practice, yearn for more theoretical knowledge, and get ideas for theses. The challengers see a gap between theory and practice and reflect university teaching critically. The integrative pedagogy model serves well in studying and developing social work practice teaching. In integrating theoretical and practical knowledges and constructing reflective knowledge, accomplished supervision, supportive sociocultural knowledge in workplaces, and collaboration between universities and social work field is needed.
Growth patterns and metabolic activity of pseudomonads in sugar beet spermospheres: relationship to pericarp colonization by Pythium ultimum

Growth patterns of seed-inoculated fluorescent pseudomonads in the spermospheres of sugar beet in soil or sand maintained at −15 J/kg and 16 C were monitored over a 72-h time period. When incubated in soil, strains 33-2 (Pseudomonas putida), A1 (P. florescens), and ML5 (P. florescens-putida) exhibited relatively short lag phases (<4 h), with most growth occurring during the first 12 h. Strains F42 (P. putida) and PGS12 (P. aureofaciens) exhibited long lag phases (8-12 h), and their populations increased mainly between 12 and 24 h. Doubling times during the exponential growth phases were 2-3 h for all strains except P. syringae strain B728a, which had the longest doubling time (5-7 h). Most strains reached the stationary phase within 24 h after planting of seed
Effectiveness and use of prophylactic antibiotics in elective and emergency caesarean section at tertiary care hospital

Background: Post-operative infections in obstetrics and gynecological settings have been higher compared to other specialties. Women undergoing caesarean section have 5 to 20-fold greater risk for infection compared with vaginal delivery. Many studies reported antimicrobial prophylaxis prevent post-operative infections. Hence this study concentrates the evaluation of the prescribing antimicrobial use and to assess the frequency of post-operative morbidity related to infection in subjects undergoing caesarean section. The aim of the study was to analysis the effectiveness, prophylactic antibiotics (amoxicillin versus ceftriaxone) and to evaluate the post-operative (caesarean) infections in patients undergoing lower segment caesarean section (elective and emergency). Methods: This is a prospective observational study which assessed the effectiveness and use of prophylactic antibiotics in patients undergoing cesarean section at department of obstetrics and gynecology. The study was conducted over a period of one year. Results: The corresponding mean age of all the study population in amoxicillin group (n=113) was 56.5±28.5 and in ceftriaxone group (n=97) was 48.5±26.5 respectively. The participant who underwent previous cesarean section in amoxicillin group is 65.48% similarly in ceftriaxone group is 47.42%. The patients with fetal distress in ceftriaxone group are 14.77% and in amoxicillin group is 8.92%. Failed induction in amoxicillin group is 9.82% and in ceftriaxone group is 6.81%. The number of days in hospital stay in amoxicillin group is 42.42% and in ceftriaxone group is 45.94%. The post-operative complications in amoxicillin group reported, with Febrile Illness are 40% and wound Infection is 60%. Conclusions: Administration of pre-operative antibiotics significantly reduce post-operative infections. Use of ceftriaxone as a prophylactic antibiotic in patients undergoing lower segment caesarean section (elective and emergency) is more effective than Amoxicillin in preventing post-operative infections.
Immunoelectron Microscopy of Protein Kinase C in Resting and Phagocytosing Macrophages

We report here the intracellular dynamics of protein kinase C (PKC) in rabbit alveolar macrophages during phagocytosis using immunoelectron microscopy. Pulmonary alveolar macrophages were obtained by tracheal lavage from rabbits. The harvested cells were exposed to latex beads (1 pm in diameter) for 20 min at 25°C, and then fixed for 1 hr in 4% formaldehyde and 0.1% glutaraldehyde. Ultrathin frozen sections were processed for immunolabelling with anti-PKC monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against rabbit Type 1 (γ), 2 (β) and 3 (α) PKC. Specific immunostaining was observed in macrophages incubated with anti-Type 2 or 3 mAb, and no apparent staining was observed with anti-Type 1 mAb. Type 2 and 3 mAbs labelling revealed a diffuse cytosolic distribution of the PKC in resting macrophages (without phagocytic pulse using latex beads). In phagocytosing macrophages, the most striking feature was an immunolabelling on the plasma membrane binding to latex beads and the phagosomal membrane. These results demonstrate that binding of latex beads causes a rapid translocation of cytosolic Type 2 and 3 PKC to the latex bead-attached plasma membrane, and imply that these isozymes have a crucial role in phagocytosis of foreign particles.
Seismic Magnitudes, Corner Frequencies, and Microseismicity: Using Ambient Noise to Correct for High-Frequency Attenuation

Over recent years, a greater importance has been attached to low-magnitude events, with increasing use of the subsurface for industrial activities such as hydraulic fracturing and enhanced geothermal schemes. Magnitude distributions and earthquake source properties are critical inputs when managing the associated seismic risk of these activities, yet inconsistencies and discrepancies are commonly observed with microseismic activity (M<2). This, in part, is due to their impulse response being controlled by the medium, as opposed to the source. Here, an approach for estimating the high-frequency amplitude decay parameter from the spectral decay of ambient seismic noise (κ0_noise) is developed. The estimate does not require a pre-existing seismic catalog and is independent of the source properties, so avoids some of the main limitations of earthquake-based methods. We then incorporate κ0_noise into the Brune (1970) source model and calculate source properties and magnitude relationships for coal-mining-related microseismic events, recorded near New Ollerton, United Kingdom. This generates rupture radii ranging approximately between 10 and 100 m, which agrees with the findings of Verdon et al. (2018), and results in stress-drop values between 0.1 and 10 MPa. Calculating these properties without κ0_noise produces much higher rupture radii of between 100 and 500 m and significantly lower stress drops (∼1×10−2 MPa). Finally, we find that the combined κ0-Brune model parameterized with these source property estimates accurately capture the ML–Mw relationship at New Ollerton, and that stress drop heavily influences the gradient of this relationship.
Young Children With Hearing Impairment and Other Diagnoses: Effects of Sound-Field Amplification

This study examined the effects of sound-field amplification (SFA) use for children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) with additional diagnosed conditions enrolled in preschool and first and second grades in a rural district. Four focus children who are DHH with additional diagnoses were matched with hearing peers and observed for attending behaviors and latency in compliance to following routine directions with introduction of SFA. The study used a single-case multiple probe across participants design. All participants demonstrated improved attending behaviors and compliance to directions with SFA, with the focus children who are DHH with additional diagnoses showing stronger results than their hearing peers. Teachers indicated SFA was beneficial to the children who are DHH and they would use it again. SFA is an effective strategy to improve access to educational opportunities by increasing attending behaviors and promoting participation for children who are DHH with other diagnoses in special and general education preschool and first and second grades.
Improvements in Physical Activity Levels after the Implementation of an Active-Break-Model-Based Program in a Primary School

The aim of this study was to analyze changes in the physical activity levels in students after implementing an active break (AB)-model-based program during the school day. Forty-four fifth-grade primary school children (24 boys, 20 girls, with a mean age = 10.44 ± 0.45) participated in a 17 week program. After intervention, there was an increase in moderate and vigorous total activity during physical education lessons, non-physical education lessons, and recesses. Intervention programs to encourage physical activity and decrease sedentary time are recommended.
Biocontrol of Arthropods Affecting Livestock and Poultry

The adverse affects of pesticides and other toxic deterrents on the environment and human health are causing researchers to investigate biological methods for controlling arthropods - flies and mites - which negatively affect livestock and poultry. In this volume, scientists from ten countries examine the use of predators, competitors and pathogens as biological control agents for these pests. The range of topics discussed includes biocontrol as a component of integrated pest management systems in feedlots, pastures and confined animal housing, as well as the interactions of pesticides and biocontrol agents, population modelling and the potential for biocontrol in livestock and poultry pest management. The book is intended for scholars, policymakers and professionals working in veterinary and medical entomology, biological control and integrated pest management.
Colour Inputs to Motion and Object Vision in an Insect

Self-motion detectors of the dragonfly ventral cord have large fields that are sensitive to whole-field one- way motion with little habituation to the motion. In contrast, object-motion detectors have large fields, but their responses to the motion of small objects within the field habituate more easily and some are non-directional. Both types are large neurons that can be used for electrophysiological recording for long periods and are previously described in their anatomy and their responses to black and white moving patterns (Oldberg 1986). When tested with a flash of controlled intensity and wavelength, the self-motion neurons have a spectral sensitivity similar to that of photoreceptors with a peak in the green near 500 nm, but when tested with a moving edge, they have a single peak near 560 nm. They behave towards a pattern of two colours as if they are colour blind. Similar results are known for the bee and some butterflies. Forward-looking object-motion neurons have a spectral sensitivity curve that is rather flat from 380 nm to 580 nm, some with a peak in the UV. When they are tested with a moving coloured pattern on a differently coloured background, there is no value of the foreground brightness, which gives a null response, however the brightness is adjusted. The optimum response to a coloured object appears when the background is green and the object is another colour; usually blue is the most effective. Discrimination of a small object is less effective when the object is green. These results suggest that colour vision is associated with object-vision; and that object-motion detectors are not colour blind, but do not necessarily discriminate colours.
Development of RAPD‐SCAR and RAPD‐generated PCR‐RFLP markers for identification of four Anguilla eel species

Abstract Discriminating between eel species of the genus Anguilla using morphological characteristics can be problematic, particularly in the glass eel and elver stages. In this study, sequence‐characterized amplified region (SCAR) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers were developed for the identification of Anguilla japonica, Anguilla bicolor bicolor, Anguilla rostrata, and Anguilla anguilla. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fragments from A. japonica (362 bp), A. bicolor bicolor (375 bp), A. rostrata (375 bp), and A. anguilla (375 bp) were isolated, sequenced, and converted to SCAR markers. The principal difference between the SCARs of A. japonica and the three other species is the absence of a 13 bp deletion in the A. japonica SCAR. Specific PCR primers amplified a 290 bp fragment for A. japonica and 303 bp fragments for A. bicolor bicolor, A. rostrata, and A. anguilla. Restriction enzyme digestion with TaqI, MaeI, and Tru9I yielded PCR‐RFLP patterns with differences that, when analyzed together, are sufficient for distinguishing each of the four eel species. In addition, RAPD fragments for A. japonica (577 bp), A. bicolor bicolor (540 bp), A. rostrata (540 bp), and A. anguilla (509 bp) were also isolated and sequenced. The A. japonica, A. bicolor bicolor, A. rostrata, and A. anguilla PCR products contain ten, nine, nine, and eight tandem repeats, respectively, of a 37 bp sequence. These results suggest that SCAR and PCR‐RFLP markers and repeat numbers for specific loci will be useful for the identification of these four Anguilla eel species.
Effect of different molecular weight on the antioxidant activity and physicochemical properties of golden apple snail (Ampullariidae) protein hydrolysates

Golden apple snail (GAS) is reported to have a medicine effect for treat broken bones, back pain and stool bloody. This study was aimed to investigate the fractionation of protein hydrolysate from the golden apple snail (GAS) using an ultrafiltration technique with molecular weight cut-offs of 3, 5, and 10 kDa, followed by the determination of its antioxidant activity and functional properties. In terms of antioxidant activity, fraction of 3 kDa showed the highest reducing power and DPPH radical scavenging activity. Additionally, fraction of 5 kDa had the highest chelating effect on ferrous ion (85.6%). The results also revealed that fraction of 3 kDa showed good emulsion activity index and water binding capacity, while 5 kDa showed good foaming capacity and solubility. These results suggested that GASH showed potential for application in the food industry as its antioxidant, with strong functional properties able to be obtained by varying its molecular weights.
Production and Resource Use of Winter Feed Crops in New Zealand

Introduction In the South Island of New Zealand (NZ), dairy cow numbers have increased from 1.4 to 2.1 million since 2005 (Statistics, New Zealand, 2014). This has led to a strong demand for winter feed crops in place of pasture, and also for supplementing pasture during lactation. Yields of 19–35 t DM/ha are reported for fodder beet (Beta vulgaris L.) in NZ (Chakwizira et al., 2014) compared with 14–25 t DM/ha for forage kale (Brassica oleracea L.) (Chakwizira et al., 2009) and 18–25 t DM/ha for maize (Zea mays L.). Fodder beet has only recently been widely adopted for its ease of feeding and provision a high energy feed (Matthew et al., 2011). Choice of crop is based on yield potential, feed value and suitability for winter feed management. Nitrogen fertiliser and irrigation practices affect the productivity, profitability, and dynamics of resource use during crop growth; and losses of N during winter in situ feeding. Optimized systems with high water and N use efficiency are sought to reduce potential adverse environmental effects. The objectives were to compare efficiency of water and N use of fodder beet, kale and maize and assess their value to growers.
Is nutritional status associated with income growth? Evidence from Chinese adults

This study estimates the income elasticities of calorie, macronutrients (carbohydrate, protein and fat) and key micronutrients including cholesterol, vitamin A, vitamin C, sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc and insoluble fiber separately for urban and rural adults aged 18–60, using China Health and Nutrition Survey data set from 2004 to 2011. ,A semiparametric model, a two-way fixed-effects model and a quantile regression approach are employed to estimate nutrient–income elasticities. ,The income elasticities of calorie, protein, fat, cholesterol and calcium are in the range of 0.059–0.076, 0.059–0.076, 0.090–0.112, 0.134–0.230, 0.183–0.344 and 0.058–0.105, respectively. The income elasticity of each of the other nutrients is less than 0.1. The income elasticities of calorie and the majority of nutrients included are larger for rural residents than for urban residents and for low-income groups than for medium- and high-income groups. Overall, in spite of having a relatively small impact, income growth is shown to still have an impact on improving the nutritional status of Chinese adults. ,This study estimates nutrient–income elasticities separately for urban and rural adults, expanding the scope of the study regarding the impact of income on the nutritional status in China. Moreover, this study uses a pooled sample generated from the personal food consumption records covering foods consumed at home and away from home during 2004–2011, which is thus likely to more comprehensively reveal the causal relationship between income growth and changes in the nutritional status in China.
Constructing new urban tourism space through Airbnb

Abstract Visitors of urban destinations are increasingly leaving the confines of tourist zones. They venture into residential neighborhoods and stay at private apartments, a phenomenon discussed as ‘new urban tourism’. While this ‘new’ tourist behavior has already been well documented in academic research, the emergence of tourist areas in residential neighborhoods and the role that Airbnb hosts and their place framings play in the social construction of new tourist sites have received less attention. Building upon existing research on urban place making, representations and performances are discussed as two theoretical perspectives that prove helpful in explaining how residential neighborhoods become significant for visitors. These theoretical considerations are then translated into an empirical research design. Airbnb listings located in the residential neighborhood of Reuterkiez in Berlin-Neukölln are collected and analyzed in order to understand how Airbnb hosts reframe the notion of their neighborhood. These listings serve as digital representations of Reuterkiez, contributing to the area’s discursive construction. A qualitative analysis of selected listings revealed a set of strategies that Airbnb hosts apply in order to reinterpret ordinary places and facilities and add ‘new’ meanings, thus transforming their neighborhood into a place of significance for visitors. Hosts encourage place-specific performances that support this transformation and enable visitors to transgress the boundaries between tourist and resident. Sharing-platforms thus become a new means for ‘ordinary’ people to engage in place-making processes. However, Airbnb hosts’ power in that process is two-fold. They not only invest discursively in the making of tourist places but also materially, through the rooms and apartments they provide. As such, the platform Airbnb has an immediate effect on the construction of new urban tourism areas.
Studies in the Post-Glacial History of British Vegetation. XI. Late-Glacial Deposits in Cornwall: Appendix: Report on Diatom Flora from Hawks Tor, Cornwall

A sample of the diatomite collected from the base of the lower muds and peats at the kaolin china-clay pit at Hawks Tor, Bodmin, was submitted to me by Dr Godwin. In it sixty-three species of diatoms were found, of which a number were represented by more than one variety, there being seventy-four different forms in all. A list of these is given below in which the relative abundance, the present geographical distribution and the ecological preferences of each diatom are indicated. The names in this list are applied in the sense adopted by Hustedt (1930) in the latest comprehensive account of the diatoms of the fresh waters of western and central Europe. Some of the nomenclature adopted in that work is, however, not in accordance with the International Rules , and where this is the case the legitimate name has been used, or a new and legitimate combination made. Mills (1933-5) or Ross (1947) provide the synonymy necessary to relate these legitimate names to those used by Hustedt. No objective value for the relative frequency of the various diatoms could be obtained as any procedure based on counting was made impossible by the number of broken valves present. A subjective estimate was therefore made for each species using the terms conventionally employed in plant-ecological field-work. Most diatoms have a very wide geographical distribution, but it proved possible to group the forms found into four classes according to whether or not they are at present generally distributed in western and central Europe and whether they are as common there as farther north or south. The geographical divisions adopted are as follows: Arctic-alpine: known at present only from northern Europe or from high altitudes in the mountains of central Europe.
A3: Assisting Android API Migrations Using Code Examples

The fast-paced evolution of Android APIs has posed a challenging task for Android app developers. To leverage Androids frequently released APIs, developers must often spend considerable effort on API migrations. Prior research and Android official documentation typically provide enough information to guide developers in identifying the API calls that must be migrated and the corresponding API calls in an updated version of Android (what to migrate). However, API migration remains a challenging task since developers lack the knowledge of how to migrate the API calls. There exist code examples, such as Google Samples, that illustrate the usage of APIs. We posit that by analyzing the changes of API usage in code examples, we can learn API migration patterns to assist developers with API Migrations. In this paper, we propose an approach that learns API migration patterns from code examples, applies these patterns to the source code of Android apps for API migration, and presents the results to users as potential migration solutions. To evaluate our approach, we migrate API calls in open source Android apps by learning API migration patterns from code examples. We find that our approach can successfully learn API migration patterns and provide API migration assistance in 71 out of 80 cases. Our approach can either migrate API calls with little to no extra modifications needed or provide guidance to assist with the migrations. Through a user study, we find that adopting our approach can reduce the time spent on migrating APIs, on average, by 29 percent. Moreover, our interviews with app developers highlight the benefits of our approach when seeking API migrations. Our approach demonstrates the value of leveraging the knowledge contained in software repositories to facilitate API migrations.
