Knowledge Building Analytics to Explore Crossing Disciplinary and Grade-Level Boundaries
Authors: Khanlari Ahmad , Zhu Gaoxia , Scardamalia Marlene
Published: December 2019

Sustained creative work with ideas, work that leads beyond expectations, underpins knowledge creating organizations. Knowledge Building pedagogy, with its 12 principles and associated technology, Knowledge Forum, aims to provide necessary support for this goal. This exploratory study aims to assess the extent to which elementary-school students within Knowledge Building communities are able to exceed curriculum expectations. We defined “criss-crossing topics” as an indicator of exceeding expectations, and examined whether students are able to think and theorize in an interdisciplinary way and, in doing so, exceed curriculum expectations. We also examined how such criss-crossing topics may help advance the community knowledge. Results show that, when given agency, elementary students are able to extend knowledge boundaries, bringing greater range and explanatory coherence to their work, resulting in advancing community knowledge and idea improvement.
Self-Protection, Routine Activities, and Victimization: Studying Arab Americans in Metro-Detroit
Authors: Wu Yuning , Klahm Charles
Published: December 2019

Despite continued publicity after 9/11, knowledge on Arab Americans' experience with criminal victimization remains limited and narrowly focused. Based on face-to-face interview data collected from a random sample of residents in the Detroit metropolitan area, this study compared the prevalence and covariates of property and violent crime victimization between Arab and non-Arab Americans. The main finding was promising as Arab and non-Arab American respondents reported similar victimization risks across six crime types. Less encouraging was that Arab Americans were significantly less likely than their counterparts to use self-protective measures, which were found to have a significant risk-reduction effect regarding property crime victimization. In addition, there was a significant, negative correlation between the likelihood of moving in the next 5 years and risk of victimization. Finally, regularly carrying a large amount of cash was associated with a higher risk of violent victimization for non-Arab Americans, but not Arab Americans. Implications for future research and policy are provided.

The aim of this study was investigated of the effects of Grup
Investigation (GI) method of applying Modeling Based Teaching (MBT) method in
the “The Particle Structure and Properties of Matter” unit on constructivist
learning. It was used pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. This research
was selected two groups of seventh graders in a middle school. The first group
(EG1) was applied the GI method and the second group (EG2) was applied the GI
and the MBT methods together. The data were collected using the Constructivist
Learning Environment Scale (CLES) and focus group interviews. The results of
the CLES indicated the MBT method was contributed in the factors of
“Discussions and Interviews”, “Conceptual Discrepancies”, “Sharing Views with
Others”, “Reflection and Motivation for Discovering Concepts” and “Meeting the
Needs of Learners” on the GI method. In the focus group interviews, the
students applied modeling Based Teaching (MBT) and Grup Investigation (GI)
methods together articulated to improving mental perspectives, having confused
thoughts, learning to question the things learned so far and learning to use
the knowledge learned so far. The students stated that they experienced having
confused thoughts during the application process, then this situation disappeared
and therefore they learned better. To the results of this research, it can be
said that applying MBT method and GI method together contributes to formation

Contribuições da fenomenografia para o ensino e a aprendizagem de competência informacional
Authors: Manhique Ilídio Lobato Ernesto , Casarin Helen de Castro Silva
Published: December 2019

A complexidade do ambiente digital, derivada do crescimento do volume de dados e da informação, exige um conjunto de habilidades, conhecimentos e atitudes que favoreçam a aprendizagem autônoma dos sujeitos. A competência informacional é parte desses pressupostos que possibilitam o uso crítico e reflexivo da informação. Objetiva-se explorar a abordagem fenomenográfica com o intuito de investigar a aprendizagem a partir da perspectiva dos sujeitos e o seu impacto para o ensino da competência informacional. Com base em uma pesquisa teórica, este estudo fornece subsídios sobre a importância da fenomenografia para a elaboração de propostas com enfoque relacional de competência informacional, que funcionem como alternativa aos padrões e frameworks já existentes, cujas categorias de descrição são definidas a priori. Para tal, analisam-se duas propostas (seven faces of information literacy e six frames for information literacy education) que demonstram como a fenomenografia tem sido usada para examinar a relação entre o indivíduo e a informação. Observa-se que a fenomenografia é uma abordagem de pesquisa com potencialidades para a formulação e reformulação de programas de competência informacional em vários níveis educacionais, em particular no ensino superior. Dada a incipiência desses estudos no contexto brasileiro, sugere-se a realização de novas pesquisas integrando a fenomenografia como forma de aprofundar e diversificar as bases teóricas ligadas à aprendizagem e educação da competência informacional.

Published: December 2019

Abstrak-Air bersih adalah air sehat yang digunakan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan manusia sehari-hari. Namun pada saat ini ketersediaan air bersih di Kalimantan Selatan menjadi salah satu masalah. Kesulitan mendapatkan air bersih disebabkan kondisi air di kalimantan selatan yang sebagian besar berupa air gambut asin. Air gambut asin merupakan air yang terintrusi oleh air laut saat musim kemarau. Hal ini menyebabkan air gambut ini memiliki tingkat keasinan yang tinggi. Salah satu teknologi yang dapat digunakan untuk mengatasi krisis air bersih ini adalah dengan menggunakan teknologi membran. Membran adalah suatu media berpori, berbentuk film tipis yang berfungsi untuk memisahkan partikel dengan ukuran molekuler dalam suatu larutan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan performansi organo silica membrane dengan metode sol gel dengan suhu refluks 50 ⁰C. Penelitian ini menggunakan artificial brackish water (0,3% NaCl) sebagai air umpan.

Adult Daughter-Mother Attachment: Psychometric Properties of Turkish Version of Adult Attachment Scale
Authors: ANAFARTA ŞENDAĞ Meltem , KUTLU Funda
Published: December 2019

The present study aims to assess the psychometric
qualities of the Turkish version of the Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) assessing
adult daughter’s current attachment to their elderly mother. In total, 560
women with the mean age of 39.6 have participated. Parallel to the original
study, exploratory factor analysis was conducted with adult daughters (N = 304) who were providing instrumental
help to their mothers regularly. Results yielded 2 correlated factors (secure
base and safe haven). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the factor
structure is applicable to the adult daughters who were not providing regular
help to their mothers (N = 256).
Measurement invariance was established across two groups constructed in terms
of the presence of instrumental help provided to the elderly mothers by their
adult daughters. Internal consistency and 6-month stability for the scale are
satisfactory. Further evidence for convergent and concurrent validity has been
supported by presenting a positive correlation of AAS with the level of significance
of the mother in the adult daughter’s attachment hierarchy as compared to other
attachment figures, levels of quality of the current relationship and the
frequency of contact with the mother. Results are discussed in terms of AAS’s
appropriateness for Turkish culture and possible contribution in an understanding
attachment to a parent in late adulthood, a critical emerging need for the
aging world.

Published: December 2019

The purpose
of the study was to examine the student-level and school-level variability that
affect middle school students’ academic achievement. Student background and
school context on student academic achievement were examined. Participants of
the study consisted of 1053 seventh and eighth grade middle school students
from 10 schools in the cities of Ankara and Sinop, Turkey. The research study
analysed using two-level hierarchical linear modeling (HLM). Data were analysed
with three HLM models: (1) random effects one-way ANOVA model, (2) random
coefficients regression model, (3) intercepts and slopes-as outcomes model. The
results of the analyses showed that at the student level, gender, SES, and
number of siblings were found to have statistically significant effects on student
GPA. When considering the practical importance of student level variables, SES,
and number of siblings have small effects, but gender has a moderate effect on
students’ school achievements. On average, female students perform higher than
male students in terms of their GPA scores. At the school level, educational
school resources have a significant effect on predicting academic achievement.
It has been shown that school resources have a moderate effect on students’
academic achievements.

Authors: KAYAPINAR Hasan
Published: December 2019

Hadis kaynaklarında çok sayıda âhâd haber seviyesinde rivayet bulunmaktadır. Bu rivayetlerin bazıları aynı konuda farklı bilgiler, farklı hükümler ihtiva etmektedir. Bu durumda teâruz arz eden rivayetleri anlama ve yorumlama problemi ortaya çıkmaktadır. Klasik dönemde teâruz halindeki haberlerin nasıl anlaşılması gerektiği, iki zıt anlamlı rivayetin nasıl telif edileceğine dair hacimli eserler kaleme alınmıştır. Teâruz konusu fıkıh ve fıkıh usulünün de inceleme alanına girmektedir. Zira teâruz halindeki bazı rivayetler hukuki hüküm içermektedir. Bu durumda teâruz arz eden haberlerin hangisi ile amel edileceği belirsiz hale gelmektedir. Mezhepler kendi sistemlerinde bu haberleri ele almış ve teâruz durumunda nasıl hareket edileceği konusunda yöntem geliştirmişlerdir. Bu yöntem farklılığı mezheplerin muhtelif sonuçlara ulaşmasına sebep olmuştur.   Önemli bir Hanefî alimi olan Ali el-Kârî, fürû-ı fıkıh alanında kaleme aldığı eserinde haberlerin teâruzu durumunda Hanefî mezhebinin bu konudaki tutumunu ele almış ve bazı değerlendirmelerde bulunmuştur. Ali el-Kârî aynı zamanda hadis alanındaki çalışmaları ile de tanınmaktadır. Müellifin bu çalışmaları dikkate alındığında geniş bir hadis bilgisine sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Bu sayede teâruz durumunda Hanefîlerin tercih ettiği rivayeti hadis kaynaklarından incelemiş ve tercih sebeplerini ortaya koymuştur. Ali el-Kârî’nin açıklamaları Hanefî mezhebinin hadis ile olan ilişkisi, hadisleri anlama ve değerlendirme yöntemleri hakkında fikir vermesi açısından önem arz etmektedir.
KAYNAŞTIRMA VE SOSYAL BÜTÜNLEŞTİRME BİLİNCİNİN ARTIRILMASI: ÖZEL EĞİTİM DERSİNİN İLAHİYAT FAKÜLTESİ ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN KAYNAŞTIRMA YETERLİK ALGILARINA ETKİSİ
Authors: TÜRKYILMAZ Hilmi
Published: December 2019

Psikoloji ve sosyoloji gibi bilim dallarının insana verdiği önem ve insan hakları alanında gözlenen gelişmeler yanında genel ve özel eğitim alanındaki değişme ve gelişmeler kaynaştırma düşüncesinin ortaya çıkmasını sağlamıştır. Kaynaştırma, özel gereksinimli bireylerin normal sınıflarda eğitimlerini sürdürmeleri yoluyla akademik ve sosyal anlamda onların toplumsal bütünleşmelerini sağlayan bir uygulama olarak kabul edilmektedir. Kaynaştırma ve bütünleştirme uygulamaları dünya genelinde hızla yaygınlaşmasına rağmen ülkemizde tam olarak başarılı olunduğu söylenemez. Sahada yapılan araştırmalar incelendiğinde başarıya ulaşılmasındaki engellerden birisi de olumsuz öğretmen tutumları olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Öğretmen adaylarına verilen Özel Eğitim dersi bu engeli ortadan kaldırmaya yönelik bir işlev görmektedir. İşte bu araştırmada Özel Eğitim dersinin İlahiyat Fakültesi Öğrencilerinin kaynaştırma ve bütünleştirme ile ilgili yeterlik algılarına etkisi araştırılmıştır. Araştırma, tek grup ön test-son test deneysel modele göre desenlenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre ders öncesine göre öğrencilerin kaynaştırma yeterlik algıları ve kendilerine duydukları özgüven anlamlı derecede artmıştır. Öğrencilere konuyla ilgili verilen dersin yararlı olduğu görülmekte olup, Özel Eğitim vb. derslerin İlahiyat Fakültelerinde okutulmasına devam edilmesi önerilmektedir. Bu araştırmanın konuyla ilgili yararlı bir tartışma ortamı oluşturacağı düşünülmektedir.

Published: December 2019

» Orthopaedic injuries warranting trauma activation in pregnant patients are associated with increased risks of preterm birth, placental abruption, and infant and maternal death.

» Physiological changes associated with pregnancy can mask the severity of orthopaedic injury sustained during trauma. Providers must perform all appropriate imaging studies associated with the mechanism of injury and perform a careful clinical examination in order to avoid missing injuries.

» Pregnancy is a hypercoagulable state, and adequate prophylaxis for blood clots includes low-dose heparin as well as mechanical prophylaxis. Additionally, patients who have sustained orthopaedic trauma must be assessed frequently for thrombophlebitis.

» Fetal outcomes are dependent on maternal resuscitation. In addition to the normal steps of trauma resuscitation, additional measures (including Rhesus typing, obtaining a coagulation profile, placing the patient in the left lateral decubitus position, early use of supplemental oxygen to maintain SaO2 [oxygen saturation] at >95%, having a low threshold for intubation, and placing a nasogastric tube to prevent aspiration) should also be performed. Fetal assessment should be completed after appropriate maternal resuscitation.

» Factors related to the definitive treatment of orthopaedic injuries, including the type of surgical fixation, use of advanced imaging, and methods of surgical anesthesia, should prioritize maternal outcome. Thorough work-up of maternal injuries and comprehensive maternal resuscitation lead to the greatest benefit in terms of fetal outcomes.
After Microlog
Authors: Campbell Graeme , Lake Michelle , McGoveran Catherine
Published: December 2019

This article explores the history and development of Microlog, a key subscription-based source of Canadian municipal, provincial, territorial, and federal government publications from 1979 to 2018. Microlog was distributed as microfiche and accompanied by a printed and later online index. Microlog’s impact is discussed, alongside the recent termination of the product in 2018 and the implications of this change for long-term access to government information in Canada. A discussion of a selection of alternative continuing sources of Canadian government information follows, offering these tools not as direct successors to Microlog, but as important components of the remaining landscape of Canadian government information resources. The decentralization of government information collection and preservation efforts in Canada is discussed, in particular highlighting the lack of a clear successor resource to replace Microlog in the wake of its disappearance.
Naturally Occurring Asbestos in France: A Technical and Regulatory Review
Authors: Léocat Erell
Published: December 2019

Naturally occurring asbestos (NOA) has been a well-known issue within rock quarries for a long time. In France, the subject has recently become more controversial, particularly since 2013. In fact, some mineral fibers with the chemical composition of regulated asbestos (i.e., actinolite) have been discovered in road-base aggregates and associated air filter samples. The main problem concerns the determination of the asbestiform versus non-asbestiform character of such mineral particles. The in-force standard based on the morphological identification of a fiber does not allow one to make this distinction. Presently, in France, the asbestos analysis of building material is based on a “yes” or “no” result. This method has limitations for analyzing NOA, as NOA may be present in lower concentrations in natural materials, especially in road-base aggregates. The health effects of the non-asbestiform particles, also called “cleavage fragments,” with fiber morphology are not well established. The French government mandated the National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety to conduct a review on the “state of the art” concerning the cleavage fragment issue. The conclusions of the report highlight the fact that elongate mineral particles (EMPs) are up for debate and address remaining questions concerning this subject. The next fundamental step is to secure agreement on the terminology of EMPs with the aim of comparing the studies in different disciplines.

Background Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is emerging as a reliable and valid clinical tool that impacts diagnosis and clinical decision making, and timely intervention for optimal patient management. This makes its utility in patients admitted to internal medicine wards attractive. However, there is still an evidence gap in all the medical setting of how its use affects clinical variables such as length of stay, morbidity and mortality. Methods/design A prospective randomized controlled trial assessing the effect of a surface POCUS of the heart, lungs, and femoral and popliteal veins performed by an internal medicine physician during the first 24 hours of patient admission to the unit with a presumptive cardiopulmonary diagnosis. The University of Melbourne iHeartScan, iLungScan and 2-point venous compression protocols are followed to identify left and right ventricular function, significant valvular heart disease, pericardial and pleural effusion, consolidation, pulmonary edema, pneumothorax and proximal deep venous thrombosis. Patient management is not commanded by the protocol and is at the discretion of the treating team. A total of 250 patients will be recruited at one tertiary hospital. Participants are randomized to receive POCUS or no POCUS. The primary outcome measured will be hospital length of stay. Secondary outcomes include the change in diagnosis and management, 30-day hospital readmission and health care costs. Discussion This study will evaluate the clinical impact of multi-organ POCUS in internal medicine patients admitted with cardiopulmonary diagnosis on the hospital length of stay. Recruitment of participants has commenced in September of 2018 and is estimated to be completed by March 2020.

Background: Rivers State is among the states with high HIV prevalence in Nigeria. Occupational exposure to HIV through blood or body fluids of HIV/AIDS patients is a recognised risk factor of HIV infections among healthcare workers. We identified the determinants of occupational exposures to HIV among healthcare workers in Prevention of Maternal to Child Transmission (PMTCT) sites within Port Harcourt metropolis in Rivers State. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted and multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 341 healthcare providers from 22 public and 22 private health facilities in PMTCT sites in the Port Harcourt metropolis. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square and logistic regression models (p-value = 0.05). Results: Respondents’ mean age was 35.9±SD8.4 years, 270 (80.1%) and 171(50.7%) were females and from public health facilities respectively. Prevalence of occupational exposure of healthcare workers to HIV in the past 12 months was 153 (45.0%) and 96 (63.3%) experienced such exposure more than once. Contact with potentially infectious body fluid accounted for the largest proportion 51 (33.3%) followed by needle stick prick 49 (32.6%). About 189 (56.1%) had safety information at their disposal that serves as a reminder on safety precautions. The likelihood of occupational exposure was significantly higher among doctors (AOR=2.22, 95% C.I=1.16-4.25,) but lower among environmental health workers (AOR=0.10, 95% C.I=0.02-0.46,) than nurses/midwives when other factors were included in the model. Conclusion: Occupational exposure to blood and body fluids remains a frequent occurrence among healthcare workers, highest among doctors in PMTCT sites in the study area. Provision of protective safety materials, training and enforcement of adherence to universal precaution strategies is highly recommended.

Authors: Zhang Wei , Sun Xin-quan , Peng Xiao-yan
Published: December 2019

Objective This study aimed to explore the positioning value of objective analysis of macular ganglion cell complex (mGCC) in optic pathway-related neuro-ophthalmology diseases. Methods In this retrospective case study, a total of 32 patients with optic pathway-related neuro-ophthalmology diseases were enrolled. A swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) was used to scan and analyze the morphological characteristics of the mGCC thickness and the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness in these patients, which were compared with the vision changes at the corresponding phase to analyze their relationship. Results In optic pathway-related neuro-ophthalmologic diseases, the morphological characteristics of mGCC thickness demonstrated characteristic changes that are similar to that of vision, and mGCC analysis remained to be objective. Conclusion The application of SS-OCT to examine the morphological changes of mGCC thickness has the value of objective positioning analysis in the diagnosis and treatment of optic pathway-related neuro-ophthalmologic diseases.

Published: December 2019

Background: Little is known about the effects of continued antiplatelet therapy in patients who receive physician home visits. This study aimed to evaluate the association of survival with the continuation of antiplatelet drugs in patients who received physician home visits. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a teaching hospital in Toyota, Japan, from April 2015 to October 2018. All patients who received home visits by physicians from the department of Family Medicine of the hospital were included. The primary outcome was the difference in all-cause mortality between patients who were taking antiplatelet drugs and those who were not. The Cox proportional hazards model was applied, adjusted for the patient’s demographic features, activities of daily living, comorbidities, and primary disease requiring home care. Results: A total of 815 patients were included, of whom 61 received antiplatelet drugs ( n = 42 for aspirin, n = 17 for clopidogrel, and n = 8 for cilostazol) and 772 received no antiplatelet drugs. The mean age of the patients was 78.3 years, 409 (49.1%) were male, and 314 (37.7%) had end-stage cancer. During a median follow-up period of 120 days (interquartile range, 29–364), 54.3% of the patients died. Compared with patients not taking antiplatelet drugs, patients taking antiplatelet drugs had a better outcome ( p < 0.01, log-rank test) and a significantly lower hazard ratio (0.34; 95% confidence interval, 0.17–0.65; Cox proportional hazards regression). Conclusions: The continuous prescription of antiplatelet drugs may have beneficial effects on mortality among patients who receive physician home visits.

Background

Microsurface structure (MS) and microvascular features (MV) of early gastric cancer (EGC) are associated with the histologic type, invasion depth and macroscopic shape of lesions. However, no studies have reported the differences in the MS and MV features between EGCs of antrum and corpus under magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (ME-NBI).Methods

This was a retrospective study including 116 patients with EGC. The characteristics of MS and MV pattern of EGC were evaluated in 2 group, antrum type and corpus type.Results

According to the Sakaki’s classification, the MS of EGCs presented as IV, V1 or VI typein in sequence, one level higher than the previous type in the degree of atypia. Tumor location and differentiated degree were identified as independent predictors for MS pattern. For the probability of at least one level higher, in the MS pattern, the corporal EGCs was 5.84 times as high as that of antral EGCs ( χ 2 =9.42, P=0.002, 95%CI 1.89-18.05), and undifferentiated-type lesions was 8.82 times as high as that of the differentiated-type lesions ( χ 2 =11.67, P=0.001, 95%CI 2.53-30.76). No difference in the MV pattern was observed between antral EGCs and corporal EGCs (P=0.7), while the microvascular pattern and microsurface pattern (VS pattern, FNP, ILL-1, ILL-2 and CSP) were significantly different between those 2 groups (P=0.001).Conclusions

There are significant differences in the MS and VS pattern of EGC between antrum and corpus types. The antral EGC is less obvious than the corporal EGC, therefore, it is more likely to be missed in clinical gastroscopy.
