Context.—

Distinction between Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) and pulmonary small cell carcinoma (PSmCC) can be challenging, even with the aid of immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis of CK20 and TTF1, as these tumors occasionally lack classic immunophenotypes (CK20+/TTF1− in MCC and CK20−/TTF1+ in PSmCC).

Objective.—

To evaluate the diagnostic utility of SOX11 and PAX5 IHC for distinguishing MCCs from PSmCCs and compare it with that of CK20 and TTF1 IHC.

Design.—

SOX11, PAX5, CK20, and TTF1 expression (pattern, intensity, and proportion of tumor cells expressing protein) was assessed in 31 primary and 16 metastatic MCCs and 20 primary and 9 metastatic PSmCCs.

Results.—

SOX11 expression was present in all MCCs and was predominantly strong and diffuse. Only 19% of primary and 38% of metastatic MCCs exhibited diffuse PAX5 expression; none exhibited strong immunoreactivity. Strong and diffuse SOX11 expression was seen in less than 25% of primary and metastatic PSmCCs. PAX5 expression was rare in PSmCCs and was mostly weak and focal/patchy. SOX11 expression in at least 26% of tumor cells, with at least moderate intensity, favored the diagnosis of MCC over PSmCC (P < .001). Furthermore, SOX11 expression was more likely than CK20 expression to be strong or diffuse in sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastases of MCC, indicating that SOX11 is superior to CK20 for detecting tumor deposits in SLNs in MCC.

Conclusions.—

Our findings indicate that SOX11 not only is a powerful marker for distinguishing MCCs from PSmCCs, especially when used in conjunction with CK20 and TTF1, but also has utility for screening SLNs in MCC.

Rebecca D. Cox. The College Fear Factor: How Students and Professors Misunderstand One Another. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2009. 198 p. ISBN 9780674060166. $16.95. Picture this: small groups of students work together on a peer review exercise in a composition class, their desks arranged in clusters around the room, while the teacher circulates among the groups rather than standing in front of the blackboard lecturing. This scene of collaborative, student-centered, experiential learning might be every critical pedagogue’s dream; however, according to Rebecca Cox, it is the typical community college student’s nightmare. Cox studies this major disconnect between teachers’ and students’ definitions of good teaching at the micro-level of classroom interactions. While it starts in the individual classroom, her analysis extends to broader systemic issues in education including the move toward standardized testing in K-12, growing interest in writing across-the-curriculum initiatives, and the burgeoning field of scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL).
Engaging Faculty for Student Success: The First Year Learning Initiative
Authors: Miller Michelle , Scarnati Blasé , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

State Comprehensive Universities (SCUs) face numerous challenges. In the face of radically reduced support from state legislatures, SCU students and their parents remain extremely sensitive to the costs of higher education and rising tuition rates. For SCU faculty, workloads and expectations balloon, many see the academy shifting from under their feet, and more still believe that they have little say in their institutions’ direction going forward. Amid this thicket of complexity, student success has taken center stage as an important—perhaps the most important—foundation for institutional well-being. For SCUs, there is a growing expectation to retain and graduate ever more students. Increasingly, this expectation is driving institutional budgeting—“performance funding” is now a reality for many SCUs and it will surely be a reality for many more in the future.
A Different Connection Between Research and Teaching
Authors: Brown Kevin , null null , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

Last year, I took several students to the national convention for our honor society, Sigma Tau Delta, where they presented papers, heard their peers do the same, and listened to regionally and nationally known writers. Not surprisingly, they were nervous about presenting their papers, but I assured them that the environment was supportive and that people did not set out to make them appear ignorant. However, I disproved my own assertion when I asked a student from another school a question that left her unable to formulate an answer at all. I apologized to her, as I had not intended to embarrass her, but it was obvious her argument was unaware of post-1970s scholarship and so was a complete misreading of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five. I talked with my students about it later, as they could tell I was angry. Of course, I was not angry at the student; I was angry at her professor who had let her get to that point in her career without his or her having guided the student to appropriate areas of criticism and was teaching the novel the way he or she had been taught decades before. My students understood this distinction, and, though they joked with me about my supposed attempt to show off my intelligence by attacking a college student, they already knew that I had not purposefully tried to embarrass her.

The recent terror attempt in the skies over Detroit by a Nigerian passenger who attempted to detonate an explosive device on an airplane brought back memories of other terrorist attacks: Richard Reid, the unsuccessful shoe bomber; the attack on the USS Cole, and, looming over everything else, September 11th. After the horrific events in New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C., a bipartisan commission was created to identify the failures that prevented us from stopping that attack. The 9/11 Commission concluded that the greatest failure was our utter lack of imagination. Leaders at many different levels simply could not imagine the size, scope, and focus of these attacks. Malcolm Gladwell noted that same failure in a review of a book about military history: “In Military Misfortunes, the historians Eliot Cohen and John Gooch offer, as a textbook example of this kind of failure of imagination and adaptation, the British-led invasion of Gallipoli in 1915. Cohen and Gooch ascribe the disaster at Gallipoli to a failure to adapt—a failure to take into account how reality did not conform to their expectations. And behind that failure to adapt was a deeply psychological problem: the British simply couldn’t wrap their minds around the fact that they might have to adapt.”
A Teaching Model for International Expansion at State Comprehensive Universities

Published: February 2023

International partnerships have the potential to benefit state comprehensive universities, which, like other areas of higher education, are experiencing deep and transformative change. George Mehaffy (2010), for one, identifies the changing demographics and desires of students, the increased demand for globalization, and the lack of traditional funding sources as factors threatening the norms of higher education. Brian Denman (2007) describes the rise of world and off -shore universities in response to t he growing competition for providing education in the international market and outlines the variety of arrangements that have been established, including satellite campuses, memorandum of understanding schemes, corporate programs, international consortia and alliances, and distance education programs (p. 11-12). With regard to SCUs, these partnerships off er a mutual benefit, as the domestic institution sees increased enrollment and the associated revenue stream, while the international partners and students are able to access critical curriculum and programs that otherwise would not be offered at their institutions (Altbach and Knight, 2007). At the same time, and especially given the competition, it is important that international partnerships are designed correctly from the beginning. Rovai and Downey (2010) provide several areas where some distance education programs fail and others are successful in this global competition, including planning, faculty development, online course design and pedagogy, and quality assurance.

ISBN 978I421418742. $22.95. In The 160-Character Solution: How Text Messaging and Other Behavioral Strategies Can Improve Education, Benjamin J. Castleman offers specific approaches for recruiting and retaining college students, especially those students whose socioeconomic conditions may deter them from making informed choices about their education. Castleman asks university stakeholders to be cognizant of the overabundance of information students and their families must wade through when seeking out a university. He suggests the need for more effective communication across relevant mediums, such as text messaging, and he cites case studies where the use of these mediums has increased applications and enrollment. The book is useful for inspiring active, pragmatic approaches to retention and recruitment at any college or university. Further, it seems especially appropriate for the eff orts of state comprehensive universities that often recruit students who have less familiarity with the details involved in navigating a university education.

Giberson, Greg, Jim Nugent, and Lori Ostergaard, ed. Writing Majors: Eighteen Program Profiles. Logan: Utah State UP, 2015. What does a writing major look like? In Writing Majors: Eighteen Program Profiles, Greg Giberson et al. have compiled a diverse and detailed collection of answers to that question. The book’s plural title, Writing Majors, is apt, for this is not a description of the writing major; instead, we find little consensus among the many programs outlined here. The notion of a writing major, it turns out, is amorphous. Sometimes a writing major is housed in its own department, as are the first ten programs profiled in this collection. Sometimes a writing major is housed within an existing English department, as are the final eight programs profiled. The many distinctions expand from there into a fruitful understanding of what disparate writing majors look like across the U.S. The great diversity is a great advantage, allowing for curricular flexibility and institutional fit.
Increasing Research Requirements for Tenure at Teaching Universities: Mission Creep or Mission Critical?
Authors: Blakey Elizabeth , Khachikian Crist , Lemus Daisy , null null
Published: February 2023

What social forces are driving the increase in research requirements for tenure at teaching universities? Engaging Pierre Bourdieu's field theory, this case study examines a state comprehensive university, at multiple levels of analysis, and via multiple methods. Field theory is a viable alternative to neoinstitutional theory for higher education scholars. The methods used are quantitative content analysis, qualitative discursive analysis and interviews. The study provides a detailed account of whether economic or cultural forces are the stronger influence on the trend to increase research requirements. Economic factors, such as national enrollment trends, do not necessarily have a strong effect on individual institutions, Also, the drive to increase research is not always initiated by administrators, as suggested by the academic-economy argument. Instead, faculty preferences, at the department level, tend to favor of the teacher-scholar model. This varies by academic discipline. The trend to increase research requirements is moving from the ground up, as faculty preferences become part of university manuals and eventually university missions. It is is suggested that it is mission critical for teaching universities to recognize the worth of integrating teaching and research. Teaching and research are theorized as two sides of a coin. The production and dissemination of knowledge is a key source of legitimacy for professors. This core cultural value may be more important than short-term regard for economic gains.
Classifying the Colleges of the Forgotten Americans: A Geographically-Based Classification of Public Master's Colleges and Universities

In his first address to a Joint Session of Congress in February 2009, President Barack Obama committed the nation to dramatically expanding adult baccalaureate degree attainment among US adults, which had fallen from first to eighth among developed nations around the world: That is why, at the start of my administration I set a goal for America: by 2020, this nation will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world….Today, I am announcing the most significant down payment yet on reaching this goal in the next ten years. It’s called the American Graduation Initiative. It will reform and strengthen community colleges from coast to coast so that they get the resources students and schools need—and the results workers and businesses demand. Through this plan, we seek to help an additional five million Americans earn degrees and certificates in the next decade. The task of dramatically increasing adult baccalaureate degree attainment requires a substantially greater policy focus on what National Center for Public Policy Center and Higher Education President Pat Callan termed the most understudied sector of US higher education, the nation’s public regional universities (2009 unpublished remarks to the Council for the Public Policy of ASHE).
A Context for Extramural Funding at State Comprehensive Universities: Tilting at Windmills or Fighting the Good Fight?
Authors: Falconer John , null null , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

Once upon a time, colleges hired professors to teach students. It was a simple world. But in the 1800s, the German model of higher education began to influence American higher education, and we embraced the notion of faculty members who would both develop knowledge and transmit it to students. This expanded the job of the professor considerably, although the spread of this model across higher education was gradual. Indeed, it is still underway. Despite the widely held notion that a faculty member who is engaged in his or her discipline offers more to a department and to students than someone whose professional development stopped upon completion of the Ph.D., there are still some academics who believe that research actually detracts from teaching. However, this view seems to carry less and less weight—at least where standards for tenure, promotion, and merit are concerned. In fact, there are few faculty positions where expectations for scholarly activity have not increased over the decades.

Christopher J. Lucas and John W. Murry, Jr. New Faculty: A Practical Guide For Academic Beginners. Third Ed. New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2011. 293 p. ISBN 9780230114869. $25. Lucas and Murry’s third edition of their primer, New Faculty: A Practical Guide for Academic Beginners, covers what are arguably the most important concerns for a new faculty member: teaching, publishing, advising, service, grant writing, and legal issues of the professoriate. The depth and academic rigor applied to issues common to new faculty such as institutional culture or mentoring will be appreciated and useful in the first year of academic life. Not much has been changed from the original edition published in 2002. The major sections are the same and any given page is largely identical as well. As in previous editions, the authors have compiled an extensive bibliography, bringing together the work of numerous experts in faculty career development, such as Boice, Boyer, Gamson, McKeachie, Menges, and Nilson. Yet, with a few exceptions in the grant writing and legal issues chapters, the vast majority of references pre-date the original edition. The two strongest chapters, in terms of their practical use, are the ones devoted to teaching and learning. These chapters are designed to help new faculty survive the first few weeks of teaching, navigate the final weeks of the second semester, as well as plan individual courses and participate in departmental and program level curriculum design.
An Evolutionary Perspective on Increasing Student Success, and the (Partial) Fallacy of First-Year Retention
Authors: McElroy Doug , McElroy Kate , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

With state support for higher education declining and/or increasingly tied to performance outcomes, and greater emphasis being paid to the debt load incurred by students, student retention and success have become key drivers of universities’ strategic decision-making. Much effort has concentrated on first-year students; however, it may be more advantageous to pay greater attention to the fate of students at later points in their careers. We apply the concept of Reproductive Value to explore dynamics of retention rates, graduation rates, and degree production within and among seven state comprehensive universities. We ask: (1) Is enhanced first-year retention predictive of subsequent increases in persistence and graduation rates; and (2) At what point in students’ careers should retention efforts be targeted to maximize the impact on graduation rates and/or revenue to institutions? Our results indicate that investing in the success of students closer to graduation yields a greater positive impact on graduation rate and degree production (though not realized tuition revenue) than does similar investment in first-year students. Our approach can also serve as a framework for strategic decision-making in other contexts.
Understanding Chinese students’ college choice to increase Chinese student recruitment: A focus on music majors

Published: February 2023

The focus of this study was to understand why 20 Chinese students selected a rural, regionally focused research university. The research sought to (1) offer new, nuanced understanding of how Chinese students selected a university not well-known to international students and (2) advance how an institution of this type could meet its goal of improving and increasing Chinese student recruitment. As a majority of the Chinese students who selected this institution were majoring in music, this study offers implications for niche marketing and recruitment. In addition to the knowledge produced, this study models academic and student affairs collaboration where the research findings directly inform practice.

Moving on Up: Changes in Publishing and Prestige in Former SCU's
Authors: Henderson Bruce , null null , null null , null null
Published: February 2023

State comprehensive universities (SCUs) and their faculty members often suffer from status envy. They desire greater attention from students, the public, and, most of all, from peers or perceived peers at other universities. For some universities, this status envy leads to changes in mission that result in moving up the perceived hierarchy represented in the Carnegie Foundation’s categorization of colleges and universities. At the top of that hierarchy are the institutions where disciplinary research is viewed as the most important activity. Over the past three or four decades, several dozen SCUs moved into one of the Carnegie doctoral or research university categories. Presumably the members of those university communities expected a change in their relative status. This paper addresses two questions: (a) are the changes in Carnegie classifications made by these universities associated with changes in faculty behavior, specifically, increases in actual research publications by their faculties?; and (b) is there evidence that the changes in classification are related to subsequent increases in recognition and prestige?
On Being Bolstered by Small Moments between Perpetual Crises

Published: February 2023

When I taught high school English in California another lifetime ago, I began the new year with my juniors in American Literature by having them read and discuss Czeslaw Milosz’s poem “Gift”: A day so happy. Fog lifted early, I worked in the garden. Hummingbirds were stopping over honeysuckle flowers. There was no thing on earth I wanted to possess. I knew no one worth my envying him. Whatever evil I had suffered, I forgot. To think that once I was the same man did not embarrass me. In my body I felt no pain. When straightening up, I saw the blue sea and sails. After our discussion, I would ask students to create their own model poems, using Milosz’s first line exactly, but then crafting a series of simple declarative observations about fond memories from their summer vacations just ended. This simple activity eased students into another nine months of school, and the study of literature specifically, by allowing them to reflect upon, bring into the classroom, and share with others those moments that mattered to them from their summertime, non-academic lives. Students would share their poems with excitement. Everyone had something to write about, and now everyone was amazed to learn (my subversive pedagogical plan) that they could actually write poetry—on the first day of class!

Criticisms of higher education from the Spellings Commission’s A Test of Leadership to the National Academies’ Rising Above the Gathering Storm make it clear that the U.S. higher-education system is faced with daunting challenges and burdened by an array of weaknesses. In other words, “we have met the enemy and he is us.” Unless higher-education institutions are willing to address the gap between historical deficiencies and current demands for more access, affordability, assessment, and accountability, they face further scrutiny and criticism. Alternatively, the Research Service of The Chronicle of Higher Education is equally forceful when, in its recent report titled The College of 2020, it calls for bold, groundbreaking reforms. The clear message of 2020 is that institutions need to look to the future, not the past. A focus on the inevitability of change, the need for adaptability, and the powerful infl uence of demographics are key considerations in the Chronicle report, which outlines what the college of the future will have to look like.

When Missouri Governor Jay Nixon addressed a Higher Education Summit in August, 2010, he warned that, due to the financial challenges faced by the state, future cuts to all state agencies, including higher education, “w[ould] be substantial.” Nixon called upon higher education to adopt an agenda that strengthened Missouri’s higher education system while addressing workforce needs and economic development opportunities of the state. One key element of his proposed agenda was “cooperation and collaboration.” In response, the Missouri Alliance for Collaborative Education (MACE) was initiated to provide a medium through which institutions of higher education in the state of Missouri can collaborate and offer a full range of course offerings in programs that are facing enrollment and/or resource challenges, thereby using more efficiently the state’s increasingly limited resources, and helping prevent the loss of important academic programs.

From Shared Governance to Shared Leadership: Our COVID Response to Faculty Evaluation, Support, and Advancement
Authors: Burnight John , Cowley Danielle , Wilson Hawbaker Becky , Mattingly James
Published: February 2023

As a state comprehensive university in a small, midwestern metropolitan area, “Students First” is more than a slogan. The preamble to our Faculty Constitution and our University’s mission statement both specify that students and their flourishing are the justification for our institution’s existence. We have learned, however, that a precondition to robust attention to students’ well-being is parallel attention to the well-being and development of our faculty. This article chronicles the principles and practices by which our shared leadership team responded to unique challenges presented by the COVID crisis and its ripple effects. A closing theme acknowledges that COVID revealed latent, pre-existing gaps in our care for faculty and students as well as introducing new and temporary challenges, and that some of our resulting solutions may require institutionalization as permanent fixtures.
Mathematical Achievement of High School Students through Community Partnership

Published: February 2023

The vitality of any modern society depends on the mathematical literacy of its citizens. No longer necessary for just a few key decision makers, mathematics is the most important skill that we can pass on to the future generation. Mathematics, the language of science, economics, engineering, and computer science, must be a skill of the people. In the 21st century, the covenant of public education mandates that colleges and universities be responsible for developing this skill.2 Unfortunately, the challenges within contemporary mathematics education are acute. The under-performance of American elementary, middle, and high school students on international standardized mathematics examinations has become a consistent element of the American educational landscape (Gonzales et al., 2008; Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development [OECD], 2010). This deficiency can be seen at the collegiate level in the decreased mathematical readiness of incoming freshmen. In 2010, only 43% of all ACT-tested high school graduates met the Mathematics Readiness Benchmark (American College Testing Program, 2010). Lack of preparation in new college students translates into an increased need for remedial mathematics. At our institution, 28.2% of the incoming freshman class in 2010 required remedial placement for math skills. This percentage was up from 17.6% in 2009. These numbers are representative of an upward trend in remedially placed mathematics students at our institution (Forrest, et al., 2012).

African-Americans have struggled to attain higher education since before Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 (Allen & Jewell, 2002; Cokley, 2003). Booker T. Washington, John A. Schultz and George B. Tindall, to name a few, have detailed the risks and dangers that African-Americans took to educate themselves. Stories of slaves routinely beaten and whipped for attempting to read and write demonstrate the intrinsic motivation and commitment to education that African-Americans possessed (Lucas, 1994).

One of the newest additions to the growing body of literature on service-learning, Experiencing Service-Learning seeks to define and illustrate this action-based pedagogy via the experiences of students and faculty from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. These experiences occur primarily in Knoxville within programs for at-risk and low-income elementary school children but also within a summer medical internship in Honduras. Disciplines directly represented in the chapters are counseling, medicine, and public administration, though the concepts covered are certainly transferable to other university disciplines.
A State University’s Assessment of ACUE: Feasible Model for Evaluating the Impact of a Faculty Instruction Quality Program

State comprehensive universities often stress the development of teaching quality to improve the outcomes and retention of students, especially for recently matriculated students. These universities invest in teaching quality programs, but often lack a feasible method to examine the longitudinal impacts of these programs. The purpose of this paper is to provide a model for universities to evaluate outcomes related teaching quality programs.\r ACUE, a teaching quality program, was implemented across 30 instructors, which equated to 463 course sections. ACUE instructors were matched to non-ACUE instructors using propensity score matching (PSM) and compared on the rate of end-of-the-semester students with DFW (underperformance) standing across course sections. PSM was based on if courses were honors sections, lower level classes, size of enrollment in the sections, and if the section occurred after the completion of the program. DFW rate is a parsimonious metric that predict retention.\r The ACUE recipients had an average treatment effect of -.37, or 3.7% fewer students receiving a DFW. That translated to 171 fewer DFW grades.\r Implications include that the use of PSM and DFW rates could help universities examine longitudinal outcomes for teaching quality programs. Given the financial and personnel resources needed for program like ACUE, comprehensive regional universities could use similar methods to determine if the investment yields satisfactory returns.
KEARIFAN LOKAL DALAM PEMBANGUNAN STUDI KASUS: REVITALISASI BANGUNAN TRADISIONAL DI ILAGA, KABUPATEN PUNCAK - PAPUA

Development activities including structuring traditional areas that have been going on for the past two decades are often carried out only based on economic considerations and area functions. The more dominant tendency is to ignore considerations of traditional and historical values. There is a shift towards social and cultural values along with a global phenomenon, namely the absorption of economic or financial benefits. This shift in values has an impact on changes in the built environment, such as changes in the face of the environment, both from the environmental and building aspects. Therefore this revitalization activity aims to revive the traditional values and history of the area in the form of traditional building arrangements. The method used is the literary method by conducting a study on several literary sources in the form of reports on revitalization activities and articles related to local wisdom and revitalization of traditional areas. The results obtained show that there are changes in the area that tend to bring out traditional values in the buildings resulting from the revitalization of the area which are appreciated by the people who observe the results of this revitalization activity. The conclusion that can be seen is that visible efforts to revive traditional and historic values in the form of traditional buildings in the development area are enough to give the area an image as a traditional area.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was determine the chemical properties of the soil in the limestone open pie mining owned by CV Thiak is located in the South Jayapura district Jayapura city, Papua province. The research method used in this study is an experimental research method with three stages. The first stage is observing the research location on mining land, the second stage is taking soil material as a sample. The third stage is sample analysis carried out in the laboratory of the Research and Development Agency for Energy and Mineral Resources, the Center for Research and Development of Mineral and Coal Technology, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia. Soil samples were taken at two locations with three different depths. The first location was taken close to the workshop at the mining site. The depth of the soil at the first location is 15 cm and 30 cm. The second location was taken in a limestone mining area with a depth of 50 cm. from the results of laboratory test it is known that the soil pH value at the first location is 8,86. While the pH values at the second location were 9,18 (30 cm) and 8,47 (50 cm). For several other chemical parameters such as phosporus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, total nitrogen also has low levels.

Experiments in Artificial Sociality
Authors: Vejlin Frederik
Published: February 2023

In this article, I explore how experiments with social robots enact and reconfigure more-than-human forms of sociality. I combine recent anthropological discussions of nonhuman sociality with Andy Pickering’s work on dances of agency (1993, 1995) and John Law’s method assemblages (2004) to show how human-robot interaction experiments enact open-ended and decentred configurations of entangling relations between humans and robots. I propose the concept of artificial sociality to capture both the ongoing enactments and multiple results of such experimental reconfigurations. Using these conceptual tools, I unpack the “curious robot experiment” from my ethnographic fieldwork in a Japanese robotics laboratory and compare the kinds of sociality produced in the two experimental conditions. I argue that the curious robot exemplifies what Pickering calls technologies of engagement (2018) by manifesting a form of artificial sociality that augments the unpredictability of dances of agency enacted in (re)configurations of entangling relations.
