Jaguanhenhém: um estudo sobre a linguagem do Iauaretê
Authors: Ávila Marcel Twardowsky , Trevisan Rodrigo Godinho
Published: April 2016

Em Meu tio o Iauaretê, Guimarães Rosa empreende em prosa um grande experimentalismo com relação à linguagem, utilizando-a como um instrumento em que, por meio da mescla entre o português e o tupi, aflora o hibridismo do narrador homem-onça. O uso do tupi no conto, sobretudo na forma do nheengatu, é bastante denso, devido a isso um estudo da elaborada linguagem da obra mostra-se muito revelador. Abordamos ao longo deste ensaio as variadas formas pelas quais o tupi mescla-se à língua portuguesa na narrativa de Rosa e sugerimos interpretações que decorrem do estudo desse hibridismo linguístico, que confere singularidade à linguagem denominada jaguanhenhém. Por fim, fornecemos um glossário em que listamos e traduzimos os termos tupis utilizados por Rosa. Desse modo, este trabalho busca preencher uma lacuna apontada por Haroldo de Campos em seu conhecido ensaio A Linguagem do Iauaretê.
O membi e o alaúde – Mário de Andrade lê Gonçalves Dias
Authors: Maraninchi Marcelo Castro da Silva
Published: April 2016

Romantismo e modernismo encontraram na cultura indígena elementos essenciais para recriar poeticamente o Brasil. O artigo apresenta a marginália de Mário de Andrade (1893-1945) na poesia indianista de Gonçalves Dias (1823-1864), analisando as linhas de força do “diálogo” entre o polígrafo modernista e seu predecessor romântico.

Background and Purpose—

Mild stroke (MS) and rapidly improving stroke (RIS) symptoms are common stroke presentations. Our objective is to describe the short-term outcomes in this population.

Methods—

A retrospective analysis of patients with ischemic stroke in the Get With The Guidelines–Stroke registry who arrived ≤4.5 hours from symptom onset not treated with thrombolytics because of MS and RIS. Outcomes included in-hospital death, home discharge, independent ambulation at discharge, and length of stay; these were analyzed for the categories of MS, RIS, and MS+RIS. Multivariable models evaluated the associations of individual and hospital covariates with outcomes.

Results—

Among 42 394 patients with MS and RIS not treated with thrombolytics, 27% were not discharged directly home, 27.2% did not ambulate independently, and 61.1% had length of stay ≥3 days, despite a low in-hospital mortality of 0.8%. Adjusted outcomes were better for MS+RIS compared with MS; RIS also had better independent ambulation and home discharge compared with MS. Among those with a documented National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, 25% of those with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale 0 to 5 and half of those with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale >5 could not be discharged directly to home or ambulate independently. Older individuals, women, blacks, transport by ambulance, delayed arrival, greater severity and greater burden of vascular risk factors, except for dyslipidemia, had worse adjusted outcomes for home discharge and independent ambulation.

Conclusions—

A significant proportion of patients with MS and RIS not treated with thrombolytics have suboptimal discharge outcomes. We found significant differences between MS, RIS, and MS+RIS and identified factors associated with worse outcomes.
From Conversion according to Paul and “John” to Theosis in the Greek Patristic Tradition
Authors: Despotis Athanasios
Published: April 2016

This paper investigates the question of deification in two groups of New Testament texts, i.e. the Pauline Epistles and the “Johannine literature” (fourth Gospel and Epistles of “John”), as well as the Greek patristic tradition. Though a specialized vocabulary referring to deification is missing from these groups of texts, Greek fathers used a very sophisticated combination of Pauline and “Johannine” concepts for the development of their respective theologies of deification. This study tries to explain why the patristic theologies of deification are so closely emulating Paul and “John” and it detects a common line that runs through the background of Paul and “John” as well as the patristic notion of theosis, namely the experience of the beginnings of the Christian life as an ontological transformation, i.e. conversion.
A revised typification of Cistus origanifolius, basionym of Helianthemum origanifolium (Cistaceae)
Authors: Alonso Mª Ángeles , Ferrer-Gallego P. Pablo , Crespo Manuel B.
Published: April 2016

In a recent paper, Ferrer-Gallego (2015) has lectotypified the name Cistus origanifolius Lamarck (1786: 21), which is currently treated as belonging to Helianthemum Miller (1754: without page), either as H. origanifolium (Lam.) Persoon (1806: 76) subsp. origanifolium or H. marifolium (Linnaeus 1753: 526) Miller (1768: without page) subsp. origanifolium (Lam.) López González (1992: 54). It is endemic to southwestern Iberian Peninsula, though has mistakenly been cited also in North Africa (cf. Crespo et al. 2016).
Multiple-Scattering-Induced “Ghost Echoes” in GPM DPR Observations of a Tornadic Supercell
Authors: Battaglia Alessandro , Mroz Kamil , Tanelli Simone , Tridon Frederic , Kirstetter Pierre-Emmanuel
Published: April 2016

Evidence of multiple-scattering-induced pulse stretching for the signal of both frequencies of the Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) on the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Core Observatory satellite is presented on the basis of collocated ground-based WSR-88D S-band observations of an extreme case: a tornadic supercell. The ground-based observations clearly show a tilted convective core with a so-called bounded weak-echo region—that is, locations where precipitation is absent or extremely light at the ground while large amounts of liquid or frozen precipitation are present aloft. The satellite observations in this region show reflectivity profiles that extend all the way to the surface despite the absence of near-surface precipitation: these are here referred to as “ghost echoes.” Furthermore, the Ku- and Ka-band profiles exhibit similar slopes, which is a typical sign that the observed power is almost entirely due to multiple scattering. A novel microphysical retrieval that is based on triple-frequency (S–Ku–Ka) observations shows that a dense ice core located between 4 and 14 km with particle sizes exceeding 2.5 cm and integrated ice contents exceeding 7.0 kg m−2 is the source of the ghost echoes of the signal in the lower layers. The level of confidence of this assessment is strengthened by the availability of the S-band data, which provide the necessary additional constraints to the radar retrieval that is based on DPR data. This study shows not only that multiple-scattering contributions may become predominant at Ka already very high up in the atmosphere but also that they play a key role at Ku band within the layers close to the surface. As a result, extreme caution must be paid even in the interpretation of Ku-based retrievals (e.g., the TRMM PR dataset or any DPR retrievals that are based on the assumption that Ku band is not affected by multiple scattering) when examining extreme surface rain rates that occur in the presence of deep dense ice layers.
A Three-Layer Alternating Spinning Circulation in the South China Sea
Authors: Gan Jianping , Liu Zhiqiang , Hui Chiwing Rex
Published: April 2016

Understanding of the three-dimensional circulation in the South China Sea (SCS) is crucial for determining the transports of water masses, energy, and biogeochemical substances in the regional and adjacent larger oceans. The circulation’s kinematic and dynamic natures, however, are largely unclear. Results from a three-dimensional numerical ocean circulation model and geostrophic currents, derived from hydrographic data, reveal the existence of a unique, three-layer, cyclonic–anticyclonic–cyclonic (CAC) circulation in the upper (<750 m), middle (750–1500 m), and deep (>1500 m) layers in the SCS with differing seasonality. An inflow–outflow–inflow structure in Luzon Strait largely induces the CAC circulation, which leads to vortex stretching in the SCS basin because of a lateral planetary vorticity flux in each of the respective layers. The formation of joint effects of baroclinicity and relief (JEBAR) is an intrinsic dynamic response to the CAC circulation. The JEBAR arises from the CAC flow–topography interaction in the SCS.
Filtering Nonlinear Turbulent Dynamical Systems through Conditional Gaussian Statistics
Authors: Chen Nan , Majda Andrew J.
Published: April 2016

In this paper, a general conditional Gaussian framework for filtering complex turbulent systems is introduced. Despite the conditional Gaussianity, such systems are nevertheless highly nonlinear and are able to capture the non-Gaussian features of nature. The special structure of the filter allows closed analytical formulas for updating the posterior states and is thus computationally efficient. An information-theoretic framework is developed to assess the model error in the filter estimates. Three types of applications in filtering conditional Gaussian turbulent systems with model error are illustrated. First, dyad models are utilized to illustrate that ignoring the energy-conserving nonlinear interactions in designing filters leads to significant model errors in filtering turbulent signals from nature. Then a triad (noisy Lorenz 63) model is adopted to understand the model error due to noise inflation and underdispersion. It is also utilized as a test model to demonstrate the efficiency of a novel algorithm, which exploits the conditional Gaussian structure, to recover the time-dependent probability density functions associated with the unobserved variables. Furthermore, regarding model parameters as augmented state variables, the filtering framework is applied to the study of parameter estimation with detailed mathematical analysis. A new approach with judicious model error in the equations associated with the augmented state variables is proposed, which greatly enhances the efficiency in estimating model parameters. Other examples of this framework include recovering random compressible flows from noisy Lagrangian tracers, filtering the stochastic skeleton model of the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO), and initialization of the unobserved variables in predicting the MJO/monsoon indices.
History and evidence show school sports help students win
Authors: Bowen Daniel H. , Hitt Collin
Published: April 2016

Student participation in school sports has surged over the past half century. The greatest contributor to this increase has been Title IX, which required schools to expand opportunities for girls. Despite the perceived benefits and high levels of support from students and parents, interscholastic athletics constantly come under attack. The fervor for school-sponsored sports can get out of hand, but anything can be overemphasized. In spite of the myths about school sports, student-athletes generally do better in school than other students, not worse. The academic eligibility requirements that schools place on athletes have decreased dropout rates among at-risk students. The larger body of evidence shows that school sports have genuinely benefitted students and their school communities.
Quality coaching counts
Authors: Gould Daniel
Published: April 2016

Scholastic sport is a double-edged sword that can have positive or negative effects. Whether those effects are positive or negative depends on those who wield that sword — chiefly, the school’s sports coach. While it is clear that coaches make a difference in ensuring that educational athletics lead to beneficial outcomes for student-athletes, a key question is what does good coaching involve? Luckily, researchers have been studying coaching effectiveness for some time and have discovered a number of important principles. Effective coaches have well thought-out coaching philosophies that align with educational athletic and school goals; share decision making with their athletes and provide rationale for their coaching actions; build strong coach-athlete relationships; create caring and supportive emotional climates; and are knowledgeable and good teachers.
The crucial coaching relationship
Authors: Scales Peter C.
Published: April 2016

One of the most powerful ways to boost the payoff from school sports lays in helping coaches build developmental relationships with student-athletes. Developmental relationships are close connections through which young people develop character skills to discover who they are, gain the ability to shape their own lives, and learn how to interact with and contribute to others. All this prepares them for success in school, work, and life. Coaches can implement five practices to foster developmental relationships with student-athletes: Express care, provide support, challenge growth, share power, and expand possibility.
Join a club! Or a team – both can make good citizens
Authors: Levine Peter
Published: April 2016

Sports participation in high school has positive effects on students’ later civic engagement. But that is true of nearly all forms of extracurricular participation in high school – whether a group is explicitly civic (student government or a service club) or far removed from civic life (an academic club or a music group). Indeed, the civic advantages of sports are not as clear as the civic benefits of some other groups. If almost all forms of extracurricular participation enhance civic engagement, then we should shift our focus away from the special advantages of sports and commit to strengthening the whole array of voluntary groups in our schools.
ESSA offers changes that can continue learning gains
Authors: Chenoweth Karin
Published: April 2016

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) gives educators a fresh opportunity to think through how to ensure that all students achieve at high levels, especially kids from low-income families and kids of color. The new law continues with four principles that had been in earlier iterations, all of which have important implications for students from low-income homes and children of color: The obligation of states to articulate what they expect students to learn; the expectation that schools have an obligation to help all their students meet or exceed standards; the requirement that states assess regularly to measure whether schools are teaching the standards; and the requirement that information about schools, including assessment results, be made available to educators, students, parents, and communities.
The evolution of quality teaching and four questions for change
Authors: Gabriel Rachael
Published: April 2016

Today we look to determine teaching quality through a combination of observation, surveys, and test scores. These measures fail to answer the most important question about quality teaching: How is it accomplished? How has this teacher used questioning today, and what drove their decision to do so? How has this teacher structured independent reading assignments and what drove their decision to do so? How has this teacher decided to assess students’ understanding of a text and what drove their decision to do so? The quality lies in a lesson’s active ingredients, not just in its final products.
A university and district partnership closes the research-to-classroom gap
Authors: Wentworth Laura , Carranza Richard , Stipek Deborah
Published: April 2016

For years, researchers have been working in school districts conducting studies that produce findings. Because educational research and the practice of education are centered in very different institutions with different expectations, incentives, and cultures, the connections have been tenuous at best. Meanwhile, there is increasing demand for data-based decision making — careful analysis of information on what works and what doesn’t. A shift toward using systematic research to guide practice requires new kinds of connections between the institutions in which researchers and practitioners work. It means creating new partnerships, new capacities within these institutions, and a new, shared culture. This article shares a decade of experience doing just that. The two institutions are the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University and the San Francisco Unified School District.
The Editor’s Note
Authors: Richardson Joan
Published: April 2016

Being on the high school swim team — or any other individually competitive sport — helps teach kids how to set goals and plan for achieving them, resilience, and grit. Along with team sports, participation also fosters accountability and loyalty. The interaction that student-athletes have with the adults who coach them helps them be seen as whole people and offers the potential for building their self-confidence.
Washington View
Authors: Ferguson Maria
Published: April 2016

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) opens the door for schools to develop ways to incorporate measures of social-emotional learning in their accountability systems. For those who have been advocating for a more nuanced set of indicators in state accountability systems, this opportunity was widely praised. For strict accountability hawks, such language represents a slippery slope. If schools are free to factor in measures that can’t be reliably tested, they worry that it creates an opening for all kinds of bad behavior by schools.
Under the Law
Authors: Underwood Julie
Published: April 2016

Legal rules regarding what students can say and express at school has evolved. There are some general guidelines from the most recent cases for dealing with potentially offensive student speech that include these guideposts: If the school has a content neutral dress code, the dress code can be enforced; if one can make a reasonable showing that the speech would be disruptive, it can be banned; if student speech is clearly lewd and without social or political expression, it can be banned; if the speech contains sexual innuendo or is ambiguously lewd and contains social or political expression, it can be banned; if it would be disruptive, or if the speech advocates violence or student use of drugs, it can be banned.

‘A Poor but Honest Country’: Corruption and Probity in Chile
Authors: Silva Patricio
Published: April 2016

Chile has a long record of public probity, representing an exception in Latin America. It goes back to the late colonial period when the country was ruled by relatively efficient and honest governors. During the nineteenth century, Chile built up a solid state and a stable political system, based on the rule of law. Chileans have been ever since aware of the exceptionality of their country in terms of the strength of their political institutions and the scrupulousness of their rulers. This article shows the historical evolution of public probity in Chile, emphasizing the ways several governments have dealt with the corruption issue since democratic restoration in 1990.
Sexual Orientation: Categories or Continuum? Commentary on Bailey et al. (2016)
Authors: Savin-Williams Ritch C.
Published: April 2016

Bailey et al. (2016) have provided an excellent, state-of-the-art overview that is a major contribution to our understanding of sexual orientation. However, whereas Bailey and his coauthors have examined the physiological, behavioral, and self-report data of sexual orientation and see categories, I see a sexual and romantic continuum. After noting several objections concerning the limitations of the review and methodological shortcomings characteristic of sexual-orientation research in general, I present evidence from research investigating in-between sexualities to support an alternative, continuum-based perspective regarding the nature of sexual orientation for both women and men. A continuum conceptualization has potential implications for investigating the prevalence of nonheterosexuals, sexual-orientation differences in gender nonconformity, causes of sexual orientation, and political issues.
Disaggregating UCERF3 for Site-Specific Applications
Authors: Biasi Glenn , Anderson John G.
Published: April 2016

We present methods to simplify the use of the Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast 3 (UCERF3) in site-specific seismic hazard analyses. UCERF3 defines the “state-of-practice” for hazard assessments in California and underlies the current USGS National Seismic Hazard Map (NSHM). UCERF3 contains many more ruptures than previous models and fault-to-fault connectivity in the model makes ruptures less readily incorporated into conventional hazard analyses. We demonstrate a decomposition of the UCERF3 model using site-specific subsection magnitude-frequency distributions (S3MFDs) that reduces computational demands while still including every rupture. The decomposed hazard can be used to evaluate site-specific fault source epistemic uncertainties. We illustrate using spectral acceleration at 1 Hz at three trial sites, one near a single dominant fault, one near Long Beach, where many low slip-rate faults contribute, and one in San Jose, where fault hazard is concentrated in a few high slip-rate faults.
Encouraging Earthquake-Resistant Construction: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Nepal
Authors: Sanquini Anne M. , Thapaliya Sundar M. , Wood Michele M. , Baiocchi Michael , Hilley George E.
Published: April 2016

We created a film designed to accelerate the rate at which communities retrofit or rebuild their school buildings to be earthquake resistant, and tested its effectiveness using a pretest-posttest questionnaire. This theory-based intervention featured local Nepalis who had strengthened their school buildings, as role models to others. Sixteen schools in Kathmandu Valley in need of seismic work were matched into eight pairs. One school in each pair was randomly assigned to view either the intervention film or a placebo film on an unrelated topic. Compared to the control schools, community members who viewed the intervention film statistically significantly increased their pretest-posttest scores on the following factors: (1) earthquake-resistant construction knowledge, (2) belief in its feasibility, (3) intent to support a school strengthening project, and (4) willingness to recommend that others build earthquake-resistant homes.
Signal Enhancement in Electrospray Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry by Using a Black Oxide-Coated Metal Target and a Relatively Low Laser Fluence

Published: April 2016

The electrospray laser desorption/ionization (ELDI) method is actively used for direct sample analysis and ambient mass spectrometry imaging. The optimizing of laser desorption conditions is essential for this technology. In this work, we propose using a metal target with a black oxide (Fe3O4) coating to increase the signal in ELDI-MS for peptides and small proteins. The experiments were performed on an LTQ-FT mass spectrometer equipped with a home-made ELDI ion source. A cutter blade with black oxide coating was used as a target. A nitrogen laser was used with the following parameters: 337 nm, pulse duration 4 ns, repetition rate 10 Hz, fluence ∼ 700 J m−2. More than a five times signal increase was observed for a substance P peptide when a coated and a non-coated metal target were compared. No ion signal was observed for proteins if the same fluence and the standard stainless steel target were used. With the assistance of the Fe3O4 coated metal target and a relatively low laser fluence (≤ 700 J m−2), proteins such as insulin, ubiquitin and myoglobin were successfully ionized. It was demonstrated that the Fe3O4-coated metal target can be used efficiently to assist laser desorption and thus significantly increase the analyte signal in ELDI-MS. A relatively low laser fluence (≤ 700 J m−2) was enough to desorb peptides and proteins (up to 17 kDa) with the assistance of the Fe3O4-coated metal target under ambient conditions.

Social security circumvention as an obstacle to social justice: the correlation with labour status and whistle-blowing
Authors: Tsetoura Anna
Published: April 2016

This article explores social security delinquency, which can impair social justice 
and its awarding. The parameters leading to social security fraud or delinquency are examined. Taking into account that the social security status is linked to employment, precarity in work or undeclared work are presented as a threat for the balance of a social security system. It is about a financial balance, but also a social one, since the previous can ultimately result in the disruption of social justice causing anti-motives for the participating in the social security system
and the proper fulfillment of the obligations it entails. After presenting the situation in the EU as regards the “grey zones” of employment which then have their impact on social security equilibrium, U.S.’ mechanisms for reporting fraud and whistleblower’s protection are analyzed in order to explain the recent trends in many of the EU countries of adopting similar measures.
Greece: developed, developing or country in permanent transition?

The combination of globalization, which imposes a merciless competition between countries and outdated social structures creates particularly adverse conditions for social development in countries where these circumstances do not improve the countries’ competitiveness. Clifford Geertz introduced the concept of societies in permanent transition, where both tradition and modernity are receding at an increasing or alarming rate, leaving only the relics of the tradition and simulacra of the modernity. This article examines Greece through the concept

Updates in diabetic peripheral neuropathy
Authors: Juster-Switlyk Kelsey , Smith A. Gordon
Published: April 2016

Diabetes has become one of the largest global health-care problems of the 21st century. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the population prevalence of diabetes in the US is approaching 10% and is increasing by 5% each year. Diabetic neuropathy is the most common complication associated with diabetes mellitus. Diabetes causes a broad spectrum of neuropathic complications, including acute and chronic forms affecting each level of the peripheral nerve, from the root to the distal axon. This review will focus on the most common form, distal symmetric diabetic polyneuropathy. There has been an evolution in our understanding of the pathophysiology and the management of diabetic polyneuropathy over the past decade. We highlight these new perspectives and provide updates from the past decade of research.
A curated compendium of monocyte transcriptome datasets of relevance to human monocyte immunobiology research

Published: April 2016

Systems-scale profiling approaches have become widely used in translational research settings. The resulting accumulation of large-scale datasets in public repositories represents a critical opportunity to promote insight and foster knowledge discovery. However, resources that can serve as an interface between biomedical researchers and such vast and heterogeneous dataset collections are needed in order to fulfill this potential. Recently, we have developed an interactive data browsing and visualization web application, the Gene Expression Browser (GXB). This tool can be used to overlay deep molecular phenotyping data with rich contextual information about analytes, samples and studies along with ancillary clinical or immunological profiling data. In this note, we describe a curated compendium of 93 public datasets generated in the context of human monocyte immunological studies, representing a total of 4,516 transcriptome profiles. Datasets were uploaded to an instance of GXB along with study description and sample annotations. Study samples were arranged in different groups. Ranked gene lists were generated based on relevant group comparisons. This resource is publicly available online athttp://monocyte.gxbsidra.org/dm3/landing.gsp.

Eesti Haridusteaduste Ajakirja 2016. aasta esimesse numbrisse valitud artiklitel on vähe ühist nii teema kui ka metoodika mõttes, kuid artiklid paistavad silma meetodite rohkuse ning sellest tuleneva metodoloogilise pluralismi ja käsitluste heterogeensuse poolest. Metodoloogilist pluralismi, mis kajastub Eesti Haridusteaduste Ajakirja seekordsetes artiklites, tuleks vaadelda kui Eesti haridusuuringute tugevust ja potentsiaali, sest valdkond saab tõeliselt areneda vaid metodoloogiliste piiride uurimise ning uute vaatenurkade avastamise kaudu. Metodoloogiline pluralism toob kaasa erinevate vaadete ja kontseptsioonide konkurentsi ning võimaluse ületada olemasolevaid piire. Kõnealused artiklid ongi tõestuseks selle kohta, et Eesti haridusuuringud on mitmekesised nii kontseptsioonide, kontekstide kui ka metodoloogiliste käsitlusviiside poolest, heites valgust küll piiratud, kuid sellegipoolest olulisele küsimusele reaalsuse kohta, mida haridusteadlased püüavad mõista.
Why might you use narrative methodology? A story about narrative
Authors: McAlpine Lynn
Published: April 2016

Narratiiv on üks paljudest kvalitatiivsetest uurimismeetoditest, mille abil saab koguda ja analüüsida andmeid ning esitada uurimistulemusi, kuid sellest hoolimata ei kasutata seda nii sageli kui näiteks juhtumiuuringuid. Artikkel annab võimaluse heita pilk narratiivi kasutamisele selle teadlase vaatenurgast, kes on viimase kümnendi jooksul uurinud selle meetodi abil järjepidevalt noorte teadlaste – doktorantide ning kraadi omandanud ja karjääri alustavate inimeste – kogemusi. See on aidanud mõista nii narratiivi pakutavaid võimalusi kui ka sellega kaasnevaid piiranguid. Artiklis tutvustatakse esmalt narratiiviuuringuid laiemalt ning seejärel selgitatakse autori kümneaastase narratiiviuuringuga seotud mõttekäike, protsesse ja toiminguid, sealhulgas narratiiviga kaasnevat loomingulist potentsiaali. Eesmärk on tekitada teistes teadlastes soov kaaluda narratiivi kasutamise võimalusi, kui see sobitub nende epistemoloogilise käsitlusviisiga.

Perceptions of primary school teachers on the disciplines related to the learning of organisation leadership
Authors: Uibu Krista , Kaseorg Merike , Kink Toomas
Published: April 2016

Organisatsiooni kui terviku juhtimise seisukohalt on oluline, et iga õpetaja oskaks hinnata oma arenguvajadusi ja -võimalusi, probleeme lahendada ning meeskonnas töötada. Uurimuse eesmärk on välja selgitada, millised õppiva organisatsiooni juhtimise distsipliinide põhimõtted domineerivad klassiõpetajate arusaamades, ning arendada välja tõhusalt toimiva haridusasutuse juhtimise mudel indiviidi ja organisatsiooni tasandil. Toetudes Senge (1990) õppiva organisatsiooni juhtimise viiele distsipliinile, analüüsitakse artiklis põhikooli esimese kooliastme õpetajate mõttemudeleid ja süsteemse mõtlemise oskust, arusaamu isiklikust meisterlikkusest, ühisest visioonist ning meeskondlikust õppimisest. Uuringu valimi moodustab 47 kolmanda klassi õpetajat, kelle arusaamu ja hinnanguid uuritakse struktureeritud intervjuudega. Andmete analüüsimisel kasutatud muutuja- ja indiviidikesksed analüüsid võimaldavad leida erinevusi nii rühma keskmiste tulemuste tasemel kui ka eri profiiliga õpetajate rühmades. Uurimistulemustest selgub, et klassiõpetajad kirjeldavad põhjalikumalt õppiva organisatsiooni indiviidi tasandi distsipliine, seevastu organisatsiooni tasandi distsipliinide kirjeldused on pinnapealsemad. Tulemustele tuginedes saab arendada välja tõhusa haridusasutuse juhtimise mudeli.

Üha enam riike kehtestab alus- ja üldharidusastmes riiklikke õppekavu. Samas suureneb tähelepanu õpetaja omanikutundele õppekava suhtes ning õpetaja kaasamisele õppekava arendamisse, kuna mõistetakse, et need on riikliku õppekava eduka rakendamise eeltingimused. Seega on õpetaja tegevus õppekava arendamisel oluline uurimisteema. Uurimuse eesmärk on selgitada, millised on Eesti lasteaiaõpetajate kogemused koolieelse lasteasutuse õppekava koostamisel ja nende ootused seoses õppekava arendamise protsessiga ning milliseks nad hindavad õppekava koostamise protsessi mõju oma professionaalsele arengule ja demokraatliku professionalismi süvenemisele. 32 lasteaiaõpetajaga tehtud poolstruktureeritud intervjuudest selgus, et õpetajate hinnangul aitas lasteaia õppekava koostamise protsessis osalemine kaasa õppekava olemuse mõistmisele, suurendas motivatsiooni osaleda õppekavaarenduses ning toetas õpetaja üldist professionaalset arengut. Viimase olulisimaks osaks oli koostöövõime ehk demokraatliku professionalismi lisandumine. Uurimistulemused kinnitavad, et senine riiklik õppekavapoliitiline kurss on alushariduse puhul põhjendatud, ent õpetaja ootused viitavad vajadusele õppekava arendamise protsessi täiustada.

Experience related to teaching practice and participation in the induction year: The view through the blogs
Authors: Luik Piret , Taimalu Merle
Published: April 2016

Õpetajakoolitus on viimastel aastatel olnud Eestis suure tähelepanu all. Pedagoogiline praktika ja kutseaasta kui õpetajakoolituse esimesed etapid avaldavad väga suurt mõju üliõpilase isiklikule ja professionaalsele arengule. Seepärast on oluline uurida, mida üliõpilased kogevad oma esmasel kokkupuutel õpetaja elukutsega. Üht võimalust selleks pakuvad hariduslikud blogid, milles käsitletavad teemad võimaldavad jälgida praktikantide ja algajate õpetajate õppimis- ja mõtlemisprotsessi. Uurimuse eesmärk on välja selgitada, millest ja kuidas kirjutavad blogis õpetajakoolituse üliõpilased pedagoogilisel praktikal ja algajad õpetajad kutseaastal. 2010/11. ja 2012/13. õppeaastal korraldatud uuringus osales 243 blogijat. Andmeid koguti blogist, mida õppijad kasutasid praktika või kutseaasta jooksul vabatahtlikult omavaheliseks suhtluseks. Artiklis analüüsitakse saadud tulemusi kvantitatiivselt ning antakse nende põhjal soovitusi pedagoogilise praktika ja kutseaasta korraldajatele.

Associations between teachers’ instructional practices and student engagement in the 2nd and 7th grade classrooms
Authors: Poom-Valickis Katrin , Jõgi Anna-Liisa , Timoštšuk Inge , Oja Annika
Published: April 2016

Artiklis keskendutakse õpetajate juhendamispraktika seostele õpilaste kaasatusega õppimisse. Õpetaja poolt tunnis rakendatud juhendamisstiili väljaselgitamisel võeti aluseks isemääramisteooria (self-determination theory), mille kohaselt on õppijate motivatsiooni ja seda väljendavat kaasatust toetava õpikeskkonna loomisel olulised kaks õpikeskkonna dimensiooni: autonoomsuse toetamine ja struktureeritus. Täpsemalt analüüsiti, millist mõju avaldavad õpetajapoolne autonoomsuse toetamine ja struktureeritus põhikooli 2. klassi (N = 260) ja 7. klassi õpilaste (N = 207) kaasatusele tunnis. Andmete kogumisel kasutati tunnivaatlust ning küsitleti õpilasi. Uurimistulemuste põhjal võib öelda, et 2. klassi õpilaste hinnangud oma kaasatusele olid 7. klassi õpilaste omadega võrreldes oluliselt kõrgemad ning tüdrukud hindasid mõlemas klassis enda kaasatust kõrgemalt kui poisid. Kaasatuse komponentidest ennustas õpetajapoolne autonoomsuse toetamine 2. klassi õpilaste pingutamist ning 7. klassi õpilaste tunni nautimist. Tunni struktureeritusel oli mõju õpilaste kaasatusele ainult 7. klassis, kus enam struktureeritud tundides olid õpilased keskmiselt tähelepanelikumad ning pingutasid samuti tugevamini.

Hariduse dünaamikast
Authors: Trasberg Karmen , Brown Kara D.
Published: April 2016

Sõdadevahelisel Eestil ei ole ette näidata ülearu palju akadeemilisi naisi, kelle karjäär viis Eesti maailmakaardile. Seda enam on põhjust tähele panna "Eesti mõtteloo" sarjas ilmunud Hilda Taba doktoriväitekirja „The dynamics of education: A methodology of progressive educational thought” (1932) tõlget eesti keelde. Kõnealuses raamatus tutvustab Hilda Taba oma vaateid haridusele ja õpilaste arengule, andes ülevaate toonases haridusteaduses rakendatud meetoditest ja teooriatest ning kritiseerides nende valguses õppeainete korraldust ja õppekavade ülesehitust. Ta on kategooriliselt vastu valmistõdede edastamisele ja õppesisu mõõdutundetule laiendamisele, leides, et õppekava planeerimise eesmärk peab olema õppija kumulatiivne, järjepidev ja katkematu areng.
Approaches to managing chronic constipation
Authors: Bardsley Alison
Published: April 2016

Constipation is a common presenting problem, but its treatment is often unsatisfactory. It is important for nurses to remember that constipation is a symptom and not a disease. Chronic constipation can have a gradual onset over a number of years, with many people ‘self-medicating’ with over-the-counter laxatives and herbal products, which then result in the need for daily laxatives. This article will consider best practice for the assessment, treatment, and prevention of constipation.
Esoteric Traces in Contemporary Psychoanalysis
Authors: Boyle John
Published: April 2016

This essay explores the idea that traces of Western esoteric traditions continue to exist as active, albeit largely unacknowledged, influences within contemporary psychoanalysis through the writings of Wilfred Bion, James Grotstein, and Michael Eigen. After initial consideration of esoteric currents active at the inception of psychoanalysis, the essay examines the persistence of those currents within contemporary psychoanalysis in the work of the three analysts. The writings of Bion in particular have functioned as a conduit for the transmission of such currents.

Diplomatic Antiquarianism and the Manuscripts of LaƷamon’s Brut
Authors: Yeager Stephen M.
Published: April 2016

The alliterative Brut by LaƷamon survives in two manuscripts, Cotton Caligula A.IX and Cotton Otho C.XIII. The scribes who transmitted the Caligula text treated it as an historical record, preserving and embellishing the formal attributes of the text that made it seem old.
Decent Work in Global Production Network: Lessons Learnt from the Indonesian Automotive Sector
Authors: Wicaksono Padang , Priyadi Lionel
Published: April 2016

Despite growing investment from leading automotive makers, particularly Japanese companies, the Indonesian automotive sector is still struggling to ensure decent work. This article makes a particular attempt to analyse the close links between Decent Work (DW) and Global Production Networks (GPNs) in the Indonesian automotive sector, whilst scrutinizing the existing literature that has covered the two concepts in separate frameworks. More specifically, this article examines the employment opportunities and adequate earnings of local employees within the DW framework in the country’s automotive sector with the expansion of GPNs. It finds that although there were greater opportunities for skilled workers to upgrade capabilities and enjoy improved welfare outcomes, there are still many more less-skilled workers remaining in precarious conditions.
After Crimea: Southeast Asia in Russia’s Foreign Policy Narrative
Authors: Tsvetov Anton
Published: April 2016

The deterioration of Russia’s relations with the West over the Crimea in 2014, and the ongoing crisis in the Ukraine, has led to a new emphasis on the Asia Pacific in the country’s foreign policy. However, it remains a matter of debate whether Russia’s “pivot to the East” represents a fundamental strategic shift or merely a tactical geopolitical manoeuver. In addition, it remains open to question whether Russia’s Asian pivot encompasses countries across the region other than just China which remains at the heart of the Kremlin’s Asia-Pacific policy. This article examines Southeast Asia in current Russian foreign policy and strategic thinking, assesses Russia’s stance towards the region with regard to bilateral ties and multilateral mechanisms and presents an outline of the future development of Russia’s engagement with Southeast Asia. The arguments put forward in the article suggest that Southeast Asia is at least secondary to China within the Asian pivot, while the pivot itself is at least secondary within Russia’s overall foreign policy. The main value of Southeast Asia for Moscow lies in its image-building strategy, with the West as the primary audience. We can therefore assume that there is unlikely to be any groundbreaking developments in Russia’s relations with Southeast Asia for the foreseeable future, although the former will welcome cooperative initiatives from the latter.
Language, Education and the Peace Process in Myanmar
Authors: South Ashley , Lall Marie
Published: April 2016

This article analyses the relationship between the politics of education and language, and armed conflict and ongoing peace process in Myanmar. It discusses the state education system, which since the military coup of 1962 has promoted the idea of the country based on the language and culture of the Bamar (Burman) majority community, and the school systems developed by ethnic armed groups which oppose the military government. Ethnic opposition education regimes have developed mother tongue-based school systems. In some cases, the Mon for example, these broadly follow the government curriculum, while being locally owned and delivered in ethnic languages; in others, such as the Karen, the local education system diverges significantly from the Myanmar government curriculum, making it difficult for students to transition between the two systems. This article explores the consequences of these developments, and how reforms in Myanmar since 2011 — including the peace process, which remains incomplete and contested — have opened the space for educational reform, and the possible “convergence” of state and non-state education regimes. Ethnic nationality communities remain determined to conserve and reproduce their own languages and cultures, adopting positions in relation to language and education which reflect broader state-society relations in Myanmar, and in particular ethnic politicians’ demands for a federal political settlement to decades of armed conflict. The article concludes that sustainable resolution to Myanmar’s protracted state-society conflict is unlikely to be achieved until elites can negotiate agreement on ethnic language and teaching policies.
Higher Education Graduate Preparation Programs: Characteristics and Trends
Authors: Underwood Susan J. , Austin Christine E.
Published: April 2016

Abstract:
Student affairs is a transformative profession, with professionals offering support and assistance to students as they pursue higher education. An increasing number of these professionals have been guided by a foundation in knowledge, skills, and attitudes gained in higher education graduate degree programs. It is estimated that between 15% and 20% of the current workforce in student affairs are new professionals coming directly from graduate preparation programs (Cilente, Henning, Skinner Jackson, Kennedy, & Sloan, 2006; Renn & Hodges, 2007).
Descandalizing Multiple Religious Identity with Help from Nicholas Black Elk and His Spirituality: An Exercise in Interreligious Learning
Authors: Gustafson Hans Stefan
Published: April 2016

As an exercise in interreligious learning, this essay explores the question of multiple religious identity (participation and belonging) of Lakota Catholic Nicholas Black Elk in the context of spirituality and sacramentality. By examining Black Elk’s multiple religious identity and his desire to experience the Wakan, however manifested, in the context of various aspects of Lakota spirituality, a pansacramental worldview emerges in the form of panentheistic and liberal openness. From a non-Native Christian theological perspective, this essay examines Black Elk’s Lakota spirituality insofar as it yields a promising opportunity for non-Native Christians to accept without scandal the possibility of multiple religious identity.
The Interfaith Movement in a Liminal Age: The Institutionalization of a Movement
Authors: Kollar Nathan R.
Published: April 2016

This essay confronts current questions within the interfaith movement: What is it? Does it have a clear purpose? What is its role within our current liminal culture? How do we articulate the answers to these questions in order to gain a place in the academy, establish an interfaith atmosphere in the classroom, and gain funds to achieve its mission? The questions, in turn, are answered by providing descriptions of the diverse ways “interfaith” is used in public discourse in an age of continual uncertainty and fracturing. These descriptions are then placed within the practical multireligious world of teaching, fundraising, and professionalization of an academic discipline.
Francophone Circulation: Coriolan Ardouin, Charles Baudelaire, and the Black Butterfly Effect
Authors: Dubreuil Laurent
Published: April 2016

Beyond commemoration, beyond the boundaries of historical determination, “Haiti” is here taken as the name of a productive locus for thinking the dynamics of Francophone circulation. The article constructs an anachronistic cross-reading of Baudelaire’s “Spleen” poems and Coriolan Ardouin’s “Moi-même.”
