I’m the Principal: Principal learning, action, influence and identity

While an immensely rewarding role, the work of a school principal can be a lonely one, made up of brief encounters and regular interruptions, steep in responsibilities and accountabilities and free from accolades. Research shows that principals often feel there is nothing that really prepares them for assuming full and ongoing responsibility for a school. The I'm the Principal project utilised the Australian Professional Standard for Principals as a framework to consider key aspects and contributors to principal learning, action, influence and identity through interviews with 50 practising principals drawn from the various sectors and levels of Australian school education. I'm the Principal is a record of the study of the work of the principal today, containing personal, first-hand comments, experiences, values, beliefs and concerns. It speaks to the successes and the challenges of the role. I'm the Principal is a timely and thoughtful must-read for anyone wanting to explore and understand the value and worth of a school.
Indicators of L2 writing value among undergraduate students

Abstract This article reports on a study that investigated the L2 writing value of undergraduate students in Malaysia. A task-value instrument was developed through a multi-stage process, focusing on the values that students place on academic writing in English. The participants were 310 Malaysian university students aged 19 to 22. The participants completed a writing task-value questionnaire and a writing proficiency test. The results of the study indicated that Malaysian undergraduate students place high utility value on academic writing. Results also showed significant differences in attainment and intrinsic values among the three writing proficiency groups. Limitations of the study are discussed, and directions for further investigation are outlined. Implications for writing instruction and second language teaching are also discussed.
Bioavailability and metabolism of chlorogenic acids (acyl-quinic acids) in humans.

Acyl-quinic acids (chlorogenic acids) are produced by many plants, including fruits, vegetables, and herbal remedies, with coffee and maté particularly rich dietary sources. Epidemiological and intervention studies suggest that they can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This review addresses their metabolic handling after oral consumption to provide a mechanistic basis to explain their possible effects on health. Intact acyl-quinic acids are absorbed only to a small extent in the small intestine, but the cinnamic acids are efficiently absorbed after hydrolysis by either digestive or microbial enzymes in the colon. Metabolism results in phenolic conjugates in the blood and urine, but varying dependent on the acyl-quinic acid, and subject to significant interperson variability. The balance between hydrogenation and complete β-oxidation of the cinnamic acids, both by liver and gut microbiota, determines the profile of metabolites. Pharmacokinetic data suggest that some metabolites are bound to human serum albumin and/or sequestered in tissues, and some exhibit biological activity in vitro, consistent with proposed protective action in vivo. Significant gaps in the literature include lack of plasma and urinary data for free-living individuals, and pharmacokinetic data for groups who consume coffee or maté at regular short intervals. Data are required for cis isomers. There is a critical need for precise urinary biomarkers of consumption of acyl-quinic acids, accounting for variability in individual metabolism and in beverage composition, thus facilitating better translation of urinary metabolite measurements into accurate coffee consumption data to improve the outcomes of future epidemiological and intervention studies.
Uncertainty in illness among people with mental ill health: a nursing perspective

Uncertainty in illness is a well-known concept in health care literature. A considerable volume of research has investigated how people adapt to different health conditions and how the concept of uncertainty in illness relates to those populations. The aim of this article is to explore the concept of uncertainty in illness among mental health nurses and to provide an understanding of its relevance to people living with mental ill health. A focus group was conducted with mental health nurses at an international psychiatric nursing conference. The focus group discussion was recorded and then transcribed and thematically analysed. Uncertainty in illness among people living with mental ill health exists and manifests itself in various ways: uncertainty in the context of loss, uncertainty as a stimulus for change, and uncertainty as an integral part of the human experience and existence. Even though contemporary approaches in mental health nursing do not directly address uncertainty, the concept and its implications need to be considered and raised further among mental health professionals in order to improve support for people living with mental ill health in their process of personal recovery.
The Influence of Background Music on Learning From Text

This thesis aims to provide the reader with an objective look at the past scientific research done about the influence of background music on cognition. It also describes the findings of an experimental approach focusing more specifically on the case of background music’s effect on learning from text. 48 participants from the University of Erasmus Rotterdam had to answer comprehension questions after learning texts varying in reading difficulty while being exposed to background music or silence. The experiment aims to prove that background music can have different effects (positive or negative) on learning, based on the reading difficulty of the learned material. Arousal levels and cognitive load measures were reported as well. Statistical analysis failed to show significance from the effects of background music, reading difficulty, arousal levels and cognitive load on comprehension scores. Reasons for these results are discussed, along with the directions to take for future research.
Mission as the creation of a God-ward culture: A critical missiological analysis

Tennent further explains that Christendom can exist in an official, legally binding way or in an unofficial but explicit way with the constitution granting Christianity special status and in an unofficial implicit form, which is more in expression rather than in the constitution. When it exists in an official form, the church receives protection and many privileges from the civil authorities in that it is the established religion of the state (Tennent 2010). Through the concept of Christendom, Christianity dominated the world, thereby dividing the world into two spheres: the ‘Christian’ world and the pagan or heathen world (Hillerbrand 2007). Geographical boundaries were drawn. Christendom represented the ‘Christian’ world and all those outside Christendom boundaries
Laparoscopy Versus Laparotomy for the Management of Early-Stage Endometrial Cancer

Background The incidence of patients having endometrial cancer is on the rise. Traditionally, laparotomy is used to remove the cancer. The emergence in new technologies such as laparoscopy has offered patients alternative choices in their treatment plan, as the overall survival is comparable to laparotomy. In addition, the laparoscopic approach also reduces postoperative complications including infection, blood loss, and ileus. Nurses play a vital role in supporting patients_ decision regarding their treatment options in the management of early-stage endometrial cancer; therefore, they should be aware of the best available evidence regarding treatment options.
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM INFECTIONS IN TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

Central nervous system (CNS) infections are uncommon but serious complications of solid organ transplantation (SOT) and hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Viral reactivation and opportunistic pathogens are the most frequent causes. Other etiologies include nosocomial exposures, primary infections, and receipt of an infected organ or cells. This review provides an introduction to CNS infections in the transplant population and outlines a framework for evaluation based on type of transplantation, timing, lesion localization, and degree and length of immune suppression. Unique aspects of SOT and HCT are addressed, followed by a description of common pathogens in transplant recipients.
Metastatic Breast Cancer: Novel Agents and a Changing Treatment Paradigm

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in American women. Approximately 30% of women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer will eventually develop metastatic disease. Prognosis for patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is significantly worse than for patients with earlier stage disease. Among patients who have localized breast cancer, 5-year survival is at least 98%, but this rate falls to 84% for patients with regional disease (lymph node involvement), and to 27% or less when distant metastases are present. Although MBC is rarely curable, recent advances in therapy are resulting in better symptomatic control, improved quality of life, and prolonged survival. These new treatments have emerged from a better understanding of the biology of breast cancer, especially the cell-signaling pathways involved in proliferation and metastasis. Factors such as hormone-receptor status, other biomarkers, and gene expression profiles are now being used to better define the various subtypes of breast cancer and to provide more effective treatment. Current research is focusing on determining the correlations between these factors and clinical outcomes and on validating their use for predicting prognosis and response to therapy. Investigators are also striving to develop regimens with better tolerability, which is crucial for patients who may already be experiencing cumulative toxicities from prior treatments or symptoms related to metastatic disease. This supplement reviews the principles of treatment for MBC, following guidelines from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), and provides updates on promising new agents currently being evaluated in clinical trials. Nurse and pharmacist perspectives on novel therapies lend further insight into the multidisciplinary management of patients with MBC. INTRODUCTION
The Change Matters! Measuring the Effect of Changing the Leader in Joint Music Performances

In a joint action, a group of individuals coordinate their movements to reach a shared goal. When a change–i.e., an event that affects group functioning–occurs, the group adopts strategies to face it. This article investigates how a change involving a strategic core role in a group affects interpersonal coordination, and ultimately group effectiveness in performing a joint action. Following the entrainment theory, interpersonal coordination is addressed in terms of the rhythmic cycles of the individuals and of the group and their adjustment. Music is used as an ideal ecological scenario for investigation. More specifically, this article focuses on orchestra playing. By adopting a computational approach, research is devoted to measure how a change of conductor (i.e., the leader) influences entrainment between players and its variation over time as well as the relationship between entrainment and external ratings of the orchestra performance. Results show that, whereas the change of conductor had a limited significant effect on entrainment, a significant effect was found when entrainment is used as a predictor of the external ratings. Both the obtained results and the techniques developed for measuring entrainment may open novel research directions in the area of automated analysis of group behavior, and particularly of emotion in groups.
Charity, social justice and sporting celebrity foundations

ABSTRACT Within the research on sport and social protest, there has been little consideration on the role celebrity foundations might play. Through an analysis of the charity foundations of three of the world’s richest and most popular sport stars globally – Roger Federer, David Beckham and Andre Agassi -, this paper maps the potential impacts of their foundations for activism and social justice. The paper argues that it is a particular kind of “soft activism’ that sporting celebrities engage in through their philanthropic organisations. Through their foundations, sporting figures operate as well-intentioned celebrities and institutional entrepreneurs who care from afar. Such work does not threaten the hierarchies and inequities built into the institutions of sport but instead legitimate a form of social activism that is fully enabled by and enabling of wider narratives of celebrities ‘doing good work’.
Children’s acceptance of social robots

Social robots progressively enter children’s lives, but little is known about children’s acceptance of social robots and its antecedents. To fill this research gap, this narrative review surveyed 34 articles on child-robot interaction published between 2000 and 2017. We focused on robot, user, and interaction characteristics as potential antecedents of children’s intentional and behavioral social robot acceptance. In general, children readily accept robots. However, we found that social, adaptive robot behavior, children’s sex and age, as well as frequency of the interaction seem to affect acceptance. Additionally, we found various theoretical and methodological shortcomings in the field. The review concludes with recommendations and directions for future research on children’s acceptance of social robots.

Differential Relationships of Big Five Personality Traits with Positive Mental Health and Psychopathology: Examining Dual Continua Model of Positive Mental Health in Pakistan

The present study aimed to explore relationship among Big Five, positive mental health and psychopathology, we investigated whether we could replicate on heterogeneous Pakistani sample positive association between positive mental health and personality traits and negative association with neuroticism. Besides analyzing pure associations, we shed further light on confirmation of dual continua model of mental health within collectivistic Pakistani culture along with an exploration of unique contributions of multidimensional construct of positive mental health with Big Five. Our results clearly were in line with previously found positive association between psychopathology and neuroticism. Big five traits were also found to have differential associations with components of positive mental health, thereby providing support for independence of both continua hence confirming dual continua model of mental health in Pakistan.
The introduction of the Webster-Stratton Classroom Dinosaur School Programme in Gwynedd, North Wales: A pilot study

The Webster-Stratton Classroom Dinosaur School Programme was developed as a therapeutic intervention to teach social and problem-solving skills and to reduce behavioural problems in young children. It has subsequently been developed as a classroom programme for use in schools (Webster-Stratton et al., 2001a). In 2001 Gwynedd Education Service in North West Wales undertook a pilot delivery of the classroom programme in the reception class of one primary school. This paper describes the programme and the detail that went into ensuring that the plan would be effective. It also reports on some outcomes from the first year of the programme in one school, in terms of pre- and post-intervention measures of child behaviour and use of social and problem solving skills. Interviews were also conducted with school staff and parents and their perceptions of the programme’s effectiveness are reported. Results demonstrated positive effects on academic performance, social and emotional development and reductions in behavioural problems. There was evidence that improvements had generalised to other settings, playground and home, and to other children in the school. The success of the programme in the first year helped to ensure the continuation of the programme, which is now in fourteen schools. The paper concludes with discussion of why the programme has been successful and describes the way in which the plan has evolved since this first year.
A Survey on the Public View of Whether to Inform the Serious Patients of Their Real Conditions

According to the survey, it is a general stand that the serious patients should not be informed of their real conditions. Nowadays there are numerous difficulties and obstacles for the patients to exercise their right of being in the know. To learn about this fact will shorten the time in reaching a social agreement that it is the doctors' duty to inform the serious patients of their real conditions.
Gray matter integrity predicts white matter network reorganization in multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease leading to gray matter atrophy and brain network reconfiguration as a response to increasing tissue damage. We evaluated whether white matter network reconfiguration appears subsequently to gray matter damage, or whether the gray matter degenerates following alterations in white matter networks. MRI data from 83 patients with clinically isolated syndrome and early relapsing–remitting MS were acquired at two time points with a follow‐up after 1 year. White matter network integrity was assessed based on probabilistic tractography performed on diffusion‐weighted data using graph theoretical analyses. We evaluated gray matter integrity by computing cortical thickness and deep gray matter volume in 94 regions at both time points. The thickness of middle temporal cortex and the volume of deep gray matter regions including thalamus, caudate, putamen, and brain stem showed significant atrophy between baseline and follow‐up. White matter network dynamics, as defined by modularity and distance measure changes over time, were predicted by deep gray matter volume of the atrophying anatomical structures. Initial white matter network properties, on the other hand, did not predict atrophy. Furthermore, gray matter integrity at baseline significantly predicted physical disability at 1‐year follow‐up. In a sub‐analysis, deep gray matter volume was significantly related to cognitive performance at baseline. Hence, we postulate that atrophy of deep gray matter structures drives the adaptation of white matter networks. Moreover, deep gray matter volumes are highly predictive for disability progression and cognitive performance.
Democratic equilibria: Albert Hirschman and workplace democracy

This paper clarifies the usage of Albert Hirschman’s categories of market behaviour as of exit and voice in debates about workplace democracy by taking seriously his critique of the neoclassical analysis of competition. Pro-market liberals are generally hostile to the idea of workplace democracy and tend to favour top-down hierarchies as a way of organising labour. This hostility is generally inspired by the neoclassical analysis of exploitation and efficiency, which leads them to defend distributions achieved through exit-based competitive equilibria. Following Hirschman, I propose to consider a hypothetical alternative: a democratic equilibrium, reached through the use of voice. I show that it would present the same appealing characteristics than its competitive counterpart while also accounting for the non-ideal conditions in which markets operate. Support for free markets should entail support for workplace democracy minimally understood as a strengthening of voice.
Hypertension Prevalence for Working Population in Several Provinces in China

Objective: To investigate the hypertension prevalence for working population in 8 provinces including Shandong and Hunan, in order to better control the hypertension in China.Methods: A total of 17 517 employees from 21 worksites in 8 provinces were investigated by questionnaire survey for their gender, age, education, occupation and the history of disease. Their blood pressures were measured by mercury sphygmomanometers. The hypertension was defined according to 2010 Chinese guidelines as systolic blood pressure(SBP) ≥140 mmHg and DBP≥90 mmHg or currently taking anti-hypertension medication. The statistical analysis was conducted by SAS9.2 software.Results: There were 63.3% of participants with male gender and the mean age at(40.4 ± 9.0) years. The average SBP in male and female were(129.6 ± 16.2) mmHg and(120.3 ± 16.2) mmHg, DBP(81.5 ± 11.2) mmHg and(74.0 ± 10.4) mmHg respectively. There were 25.2% of participants with hypertension after standardization and 44.2% with high normal BP after standardization. The prevalence showed a rising trend with the increased age, P0.001. The hypertension prevalence in male was higher than that in female as 30.3% vs. 14.9%, P0.001. The hypertension prevalence was related to the type of occupation, P0.001 the worker group was the highest(28.4%), The prevalence was higher in east region(31.7%) and the population with higher education had the lower prevalence(20.9%). Conclusion: The ideal blood pressure in working population was less than 1/3 in china, the prevalence related to theoccupation and educafion.

“Enter the dragoness”: firm growth, finance, guanxi, and gender in China

Purpose – The purpose of this exploratory paper is to theorise and examine gender differences in the impact of financial capital on Chinese firms' growth, and investigate the role of guanxi (connections and networks) in the process of obtaining finance.Design/methodology/approach – A structured questionnaire is used to collect comprehensive financial data from 18 women to 69 men, which is analysed empirically.Findings – Women appear to be no more disadvantaged from obtaining finance than men in China and in some respects appear to be in a better position. Both women‐ and men‐led firms are significantly stronger in relation to having access to enough finance to grow than at the start‐up phase. A majority of participants in this study used guanxi to access finance. Furthermore, the paper finds that guanxi is used equally by men and women, and that guanxi‐sourced finance comprised a significant proportion of the overall capital obtained.Research limitations/implications – One major limitation of the study is.
