Early English meter as a way of thinking
Authors: Weiskott Eric
Published: August 2017

The second half of the fourteenth century saw a large uptick in the production of literature in English. This essay frames metrical variety and literary experimentation in the late fourteenth century as an opportunity for intellectual history. Beginning from the assumption that verse form is never incidental to the thinking it performs, the essay seeks to test Simon Jarvis’s concept of “prosody as cognition”, formulated with reference to Pope and Wordsworth, against a different literary archive.The essay is organized into three case studies introducing three kinds of metrical practice: the half-line structure in Middle English alliterative meter, the interplay between Latin and English in Piers Plowman, and final -e in Chaucer’s pentameter. The protagonists of the three case studies are the three biggest names in Middle English literature: the Gawain poet, William Langland, and Geoffrey Chaucer.
The shortest species: how the length of Russian poetry changed (1750–1921)
Authors: Shelya Artjom , Sobchuk Oleg
Published: August 2017

The paper studies long-term changes in the length of Russian poetry (1750–1921) to reveal the relation of poem length (counted in lines) to a poetic form and its evolution. The research has shown a dramatic decrease in the mean and median poetry lengths during the 19th century. This decrease was followed by the decline in length diversity, which resulted in short poems (8–20 lines) overpopulating the literature during the age of Modernism. We argue that this transformation towards the short form could be understood in the framework of cultural evolution: Russian poetry struggled to keep its literary niche, while being continuously under the pressure of successful large narratives of the 19th century. Therefore, it was forced to develop complexity while being highly constrained formally (accentual-syllabic verse and rhyme maintained for a long time) by the shrunk length of a lyrical poem.

The observable anisotropy of cosmic rays has first been decomposed into zonal harmonics and components of vector and tensor anisotropy. We examine Forbush decreases in cosmic rays that occurred in November 2001 and November 2004. It is shown that at the beginning of a Forbush decrease an antisunward convective current of cosmic rays predominates; and during the recovery phase, a sunward diffusive current of particles along the interplanetary magnetic field dominates. During the phase of intensity drop, short-time decreases in the second zonal harmonic take place. These decreases occur with abrupt changes of the interplanetary magnetic field intensity and solar wind speed. During the passage of large-scale solar wind disturbances, the tensor anisotropy behaves in a complicated way. To explain its behavior, a further detailed investigation is required.

Quasi-periodic changes of the geomagnetic field and plasma parameters in the range of Pc 5 pulsations, which occurred immediately after the interaction of interplanetary shock (IPS) with Earth’s magnetosphere in the event of April 24, 2009 at 00:53 UT are examined using ground and satellite observations. The pulsations were localized at latitudes 66–74° in the noon (11 MLT) and evening (20 MLT) sectors. The analysis of hodographs of the geomagnetic field changes both from satellite and ground observations has shown the presence of vortical disturbances. In this event, both the IPS front in the interplanetary medium and the compression wave front in the magnetosphere had a slope in the ZGSM=0 plane; the inclination angle was 14° in the interplanetary medium and 34° in the magnetosphere.

Published: August 2017

We present the temperature database for the mesopause region, which was collected from spectral measurements of bands O2(0-1) and OH(6-2) with the infrared spectrograph SP-50 at the Maimaga station (63° N; 129.5° E) in 2002–2014. The temperature time series covers 11-year solar cycle. It is compared with the temperature obtained with the Sounding of the At-mosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry in-strument (SABER, v.1.07 and v.2.0), installed onboard the TIMED satellite. We compare temperatures meas-ured during satellite passes at distances under 500 km from the intersection of the spectrograph sighting line with the hydroxyl emitting layer (~87 km) and oxygen emitting layer (~95 km). The time criterion is 30 min. We observe that there is a seasonal dependence of the difference between the ground-based and satellite measurements. The data obtained using SABER v2.0 show good agreement with the temperatures measured with the infrared digital spectrograph. The analysis we carried out allows us to conclude that a series of rotational temperatures obtained at the Maimaga station can be used to study temperature variations on different time scales including long-term trends at the mesopause height
Bidding for Multiple Keywords in Sponsored Search Advertising: Keyword Categories and Match Types
Authors: Du Xiaomeng , Su Meng , Zhang Xiaoquan (Michael) , Zheng Xiaona
Published: August 2017

Although keyword auctions are often studied in the context of a single keyword in the literature, firms generally have to participate in multiple keyword auctions at the same time. Advertisers purchase a variety of keywords that can be categorized as generic-relevant, focal-brand, and competing-brand keywords. At the same time, firms also have to choose how the keywords can be matched to search queries: exact, phrase, or broad. This study empirically examines how keyword categories and match types influence the performance of advertising campaigns. We build a hierarchical Bayesian model to address the endogeneity problem contained in the simultaneous equations of the click-through rate, the conversion rate, cost per click, and rank, and we use the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to identify the parameters. Our results suggest that it is important to differentiate among the various bidding strategies for various keyword categories and match types. We also report results related to financial performance such as number of sales, profit, and return on investment for different keywords. These findings shed light on the practice of sponsored search advertising by offering insights into how to manage ad campaigns when advertisers have to bid on multiple keywords.

Winner-Take-All Games: The Strategic Optimisation of Rank
Authors: Alpern Steve , Howard J. V.
Published: August 2017

In many competitive situations (including nearly all sports) a player’s aim is not simply to maximise his score but to maximise its rank among all scores. Examples include sales contests (where the salesman with the highest monthly sales gets a bonus) and patent races (where lowest time is best). We assume the score Xi of player i is obtained costlessly, so that his utility is the probability of having the best score. This gives a constant-sum game. All that matters for player i is the distribution of his score, so we assume he chooses from a given convex set of distributions ℱi. We call such games distribution ranking games, and characterise their solution for various classes of the distribution sets ℱi, such as distributions with given mean or moment, where we extend a result of Bell and Cover.
Biologics: structural heterogeneity and immunogenicity
Authors: Jefferis Roy
Published: August 2017

In principle the whole human proteome is available for the generation of recombinant proteins and glycoproteins that may serve as drugs (biologics). Endogenous human proteins and glycoproteins are structurally heterogeneous but are recognized as self by the immune system; however, recombinant protein and glycoprotein molecules are necessarily produced in heterologous systems and may include structural variants that are non-self and potentially immunogenic. The addition of human type oligosaccharides may be critical to function while the addition of non-human sugar residues can render biologics immunogenic. A particular concern is the structure of oligosaccharides attached by the hamster and murine cell lines that provide the dominant production platform. Critical structure and function properties that contribute to optimization of therapeutic potential are illustrated through recombinant erythropoietin and antibody therapeutics.
Paediatric fractures around the knee
Authors: van den Broek M , Oussedik S
Published: August 2017

Paediatric fractures around the knee are not common but their incidence seems to be increasing as a result of the increasing number of children participating in sports. Given the characteristics of the growing skeleton, specific fractures only occur in children. Diagnosis is mainly based on history, clinical examination and plain radiographs. Advanced imaging may be required in special fracture types. Although many of these injuries can be managed non-operatively, early referral to a specialist team is necessary to avoid delays in surgical management and to reduce the risk of acute or late complications.

Published: August 2017

We present results from numerical simulations of zinc germanium phosphide based optical parametric oscillators, and obtain good agreement with published experimental results. The effects of changing some critical parameters are investigated numerically. It is found that for high power pumping, the beam quality can be significantly improved with only a small drop in output energy by either increasing the resonator length or increasing the idler output coupling.

Should We Teach Students How to Learn?
Authors: Moniz Sonia
Published: August 2017

Student engagement and commitment are essential for successful science learning. At present, the design of course materials is usually primarily focused on disseminating as much information as possible within the limited amount of lecturing time available. This gives less emphasis on strategies to consolidate acquired information and to stimulate self-directed research into particularly interesting topics. Guiding students into forming a community of learners could enhance the efficiency of the learning process by sharing resources and discussing common difficulties. We set up an online chat room associated with the Parasitology module for Level 4 Life Sciences degree students, at the University of Dundee, which was run in parallel on Blackboard and on a restricted access Facebook group. Participation in the chat room was strictly voluntary, although students were advised it would be part of their formative training. The feedback results show the Facebook group was largely favoured over the Blackboard interface and that the students found the idea interesting, although engagement was mainly passive. Students reported that the major obstacle to participation was lack of time due to a heavy course workload, which also inhibited them in engaging in any further research on the themes proposed in the chatroom. Interestingly, a large majority of students indicated that they would like the lecturer’s participation in the chat room. These results indicate that students undervalue the role of self-directed formative training and collaborative learning in their studies, and calls into question the efficiency of current methodologies for preparing the next generation of autonomous and critical thinking scientists.
Using Generic Templates to Promote the Use of High Quality Learning Designs in Higher Education
Authors: Cameron Leanne
Published: August 2017

Designing for learning in the higher education sector is a complex task, especially in light of the increasing diversity of the student body. With research pointing to an inverse relationship between student engagement and attrition rates, lecturers need to be mindful of a wide range of student ability levels, socio-economic backgrounds, learning styles, and specific curriculum requirements when designing for their students’ learning. Learning design is a professional activity for which many of our academic staff are not trained. There are examples of learning designs which apply the most recent research into learning but a number of studies have shown that they are not widely utilised in all universities. This current study took a mixed methods approach to explore whether generic templates (a learning design pattern to which subject content can be added) could be used to share well-researched, high quality learning designs across a range of disciplines. The results revealed that generic learning design templates can provide a means for lecturers to access a broad range of learning designs but there are barriers to sharing these in the higher educational sector. At a time when providing students with a quality learning environment is considered highly desirable, it might be time these barriers were reviewed. By using generic templates, lecturers might be encouraged to explore new learning designs and reflect on how their existing teaching approaches affect their students’ learning.
The Senses Framework: Understanding the Professional Development of Postgraduates Who Teach
Authors: Burge Amy , Grade Godinho Maria , Knottenbelt Miesbeth , Loads Daphne
Published: August 2017

The aim of this research project was to deepen our understanding of the professional development of postgraduates who teach (tutors). Using arts-based methods, we asked postgraduate tutors and senior staff how they saw tutors’ roles and development needs. Based on our research outcomes, we found that both postgraduate tutors and senior staff were concerned in their different ways about a lack of community, the administrative burden on tutors, the importance of enjoyment, how tutoring should be recognised and valued, and the question of training versus development. We make use of a framework borrowed from gerontological nursing for thinking about and addressing these issues in practice. Note: In this paper, ‘tutor’ refers to the part-time, adjunct, assistant, sessional or casual staff who make a significant contribution to small and large-group teaching, assessment and feedback in higher education. We are particularly concerned here with postgraduates who teach; ‘senior staff’ refers to a variety of colleagues who have some responsibility for supporting tutor development, including course organisers, senior tutors and administrative staff.
Where Facebook Meets Plagiarism: An Investigation and an Intervention
Authors: McQueen Heather Alison , Shields Cathy
Published: August 2017

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE Closed (student only) Facebook groups are commonplace amongst students and the social and academic benefits of such groups are well studied. The exclusion of staff from these Facebook groups could conceivably lead to inappropriate behaviour such as plagiarism but the occurrence of this is unknown. Many students have a poor understanding of what constitutes plagiarism, or the rationale for its avoidance (other than to avoid penalty). In this study we sought to explore the behaviours of students on Facebook groups, focusing on plagiarism. We also broadened our analysis to encompass an investigation of general plagiarism awareness in order to use the findings to inform the co-creation of a simple plagiarism intervention tool for use on Facebook groups. METHODS Our mixed methods approach encompassed seven student focus groups and a survey of 273 students at one UK University, as well as consultation of 11 HEI staff. Information and ideas drawn from the investigative phase of the project informed the design and co-creation of a plagiarism avoidance video resource. RESULTS AND LESSONS LEARNED We did not find plagiarism on Facebook to be a major concern despite wide use by students of closed groups to support learning. We did, however, find that interactive discussion on Facebook was minimal, and that membership was non-inclusive, and therefore suggest caution towards formal use of Facebook in learning. We also found that >40% of our students held misconceptions and anxieties about what constitutes plagiarism and about how to avoid it, and that University guidelines on plagiarism are not improving understanding. Plagiarism confusion was heightened for students new to our University, although further research into the generality of this observation is required. We advocate good scholarship education that actively engages, but is not limited to, students in their first year of study, and present our own anti-plagiarism tool that is suitable for deployment via Facebook groups.
‘This is Not Something You Solve in Week One of Third Year’: Applying a Transitions Perspective to Honours Learning and Teaching in an Undergraduate Degree Programme
Authors: Shovlin Abby , Docherty Pamela
Published: August 2017

Transitions as a concept is gaining increasing traction in both academic development and student experience enhancement, but little has been written about how it can be used to design research studies into learning and teaching. This paper demonstrates how a transitional perspective has been used to inform an exploratory study of the move from second to third year in an undergraduate maths degree at a large Scottish university. This perspective takes the staff and student experience into account and looks at third year not in isolation, but as part of an entire programme. In doing so, this study is able to offer a deeper understanding of this transition in mathematics which generates questions about the nature of the undergraduate learning and teaching environment for practitioners both within and beyond the discipline.
Designing for Learning in a MOOC: A Pedagogical Model in Disguise
Authors: Donald Claire Leonie , Ramsay Elizabeth , Joerg Inken
Published: August 2017

This paper describes a recently developed MOOC on introductory statistics from the perspective of the educators, learning designers and learners. It portrays their experiences of the learning design, both as process and product, and compares the teaching intentions inherent in the learning design to the experience of teaching and learning on the MOOC for the first two years of its implementation. We describe the pedagogical model, ‘disguised’ beneath the surface functionality and steps of the MOOC platform, and how it frames some of the planned learning sequences. Reflecting on the teaching, learning and design features of this highly structured MOOC, we share the lessons learned about designing for learning and teaching that pertain to MOOC environments, and those that apply to other contemporary university classrooms.

PIEZOSURGERY: A versatile tool in periodontology and oral implantology
Authors: Chandra Bharath , Walavalkar N Narayan , Praksh Shobha
Published: August 2017

Piezosurgery is a relatively a new technique of bone surgery, that is recently gaining popularity in implantology, periodontics and oral surgery. Piezoelectric ultrasonic vibrations are utilized to perform precise and safe osteotomies. Becauseof its highly selective and accurate nature, with its cutting effect exclusively targeting hard tissue, its use may be extended to more complex oral surgical procedures, as well as to other interdisciplinary problems. It can be used for selective cutting of bone depending on bone mineralization, without damaging the adjacent soft tissue (e.g. vessels, nerves or mucosa), providing a clear visibility in the operating field, and cutting with sensitivity without the generation of heat. So this review discusses the equipment, mechanism of action biological effects on bone, indications, contraindications, advantages and disadvantages of this new technology.

Good Practices for Primary-Level Content-based Foreign Language Instruction Identified in Finland
Authors: Wewer Taina M
Published: August 2017

This practice-oriented article, also applicable for general foreign and second language instruction, outlines experiences and classroom practices recognized as functional and effective in CLIL (content and language integrated learning) contexts. CLIL can be defined as a comprehensive approach to foreign language teaching because it aims at learning language through various content across the curriculum. Since one of the guidelines in the Finnish basic education is teacher autonomy, the fluctuation in materials, practices and methods is notable. Therefore, there is no sole authenticated model of CLIL implementation, but the practices rather vary significantly from one classroom to another. Furthermore, the extent of the target language (TL) exposure has an impact on the instructional choices as well as the pre-negotiated and defined learning objectives. In most cases, the primary aim is that the child learns to read and write in the mother tongue or the main language of instruction (most often Finnish in Finland), and the target language (in this case English) is gradually and increasingly incorporated into the everyday classroom practice. Hence, instruction is bilingual. Research on foreign language teaching and learning helps to formulate some of the recurring linguistic practices in CLIL classrooms which is important in shaping the language used for social purposes. The integration of language and content and academic language need special attention in CLIL. In a similar manner, assessment of the target language, has to be specifically addressed. I will touch upon all these issues in the three main sections drawing on CLIL instruction with approximately 25% English exposure of total instruction.

Effects of Nasal Pathologies on Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Authors: Enoz Murat
Published: August 2017

Increased airway resistance can induce snoring and sleep apnea, and nasal obstruction is a common problem in snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Many snoring and OSA patients breathe via the mouth during sleep. Mouth breathing may contribute to increased collapsibility of the upper airways due to decreased contractile efficiency of the upper airway muscles as a result of mouth opening. Increased nasal airway resistance produces turbulent flow in the nasal cavity, induces oral breathing, promotes oscillation of the pharyngeal airway and can cause snoring.
In Vitro Antiproliferative Effects of Sulforaphane on Human Colon Cancer Cell Line SW620
Authors: Andělová Hana , Rudolf Emil , Červinka Miroslav
Published: August 2017

The isothiocyanate sulforaphane (SF) has been reported to possess chemopreventive efficiency towards various malignancies including colon cancer. Here, we investigated the antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of SF on colon cancer cell line SW620. We found that SF at concentrations of 10–50 μM inhibits cell viability and proliferation of SW620 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner, with IC50 being 26 μM (24 h), 24.4 μM (48 h) and 18 μM (72 h). Also, in the same cells SF caused DNA damage and chromatin condensation after 24 h and 48 h as revealed by phospho-H2A.X western blot analysis and DAPI staining of nuclei. These changes were accompanied by the elevated activity of caspase 3, although after 20 μM SF concentration only. Together, these results indicate that SF suppresses growth of human metastacic colonocytes and induces apoptotic cell death.

Ethnic Identifiability in India
Authors: Vaishnav Milan
Published: August 2017

The ethnic politics literature assumes that one’s ethnic identity is readily identifiable. This paper evaluates how well this assumption holds in practice, drawing on a voter survey in the Indian state of Bihar. While voters often misidentify the identity of their candidate, the degree of error is small but systematic.
Political Marketing in Macao
Authors: Wong Wilson , Kwong Ying-Ho
Published: August 2017

To what extent can political marketing narrow the legitimacy gap for a hybrid regime? This article examines this question through the case of Macao (2009–14). It finds that political marketing is insufficient to compensate for lack of democratic reform and may easily backfire to expose the problem of a structural legitimacy deficit.
Calais’s “Jungle”
Authors: Sanyal Debarati
Published: August 2017

In fall 2016, the French state razed Calais’s “jungle,” encampments that had sheltered close to 10,000 refugees. An analysis of film and photography set in the “jungle” highlights practices of resistance to the interplay of humanitarian compassion and securitarian repression in the destruction of contemporary camps, nuancing the view of borderscapes as sites of total biopolitical capture, and of refugees as “bare life.”

Authors: Moreira Sandra , Vasconcelos Lia , Santos Carlos Silva
Published: August 2017

Objective

This study aimed to develop a methodological tool to analyze and monitor the green jobs in the context of Occupational Health and Safety.

Methods

A literature review in combination with an investigation of Occupational Health Indicators was performed. The resulting tool of Occupational Health Indicators was based on the existing information of “Single Report” and was validated by national’s experts.

Results

The tool brings together 40 Occupational Health Indicators in four key fields established by World Health Organization in their conceptual framework “Health indicators of sustainable jobs. ” The tool proposed allows for assessing if the green jobs enabled to follow the principles and requirements of Occupational Health Indicators and if these jobs are as good for the environment as for the workers’ health, so if they can be considered quality jobs.

Conclusions

This shows that Occupational Health Indicators are indispensable for the assessment of the sustainability of green jobs and should be taken into account in the definition and evaluation of policies and strategies of the sustainable development.

Published: August 2017

Objectives

The aim of this study was to reveal the current state of preventive measures and lifestyle habits against heat illness in radiation decontamination workers and to examine whether young radiation decontamination workers take less preventive measures and have worse lifestyle habits than the elder workers.

Methods

This was a cross-sectional study. Selfadministered questionnaires were sent to 1,505 radiation decontamination workers in Fukushima, Japan. Five hundred fifty-eight men who replied and answered all questions were included in the statistical analysis. The questionnaire included age, duration of decontamination work, previous occupation, lifestyle habit, and preventive measures for heat illness. We classified age of the respondents into five groups: <30, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and ≥60 years and defined the workers under 30 years of age as young workers. Logistic regression analysis was used to reveal the factors associated with each lifestyle habit and preventive measures.

Results

In comparison with young workers, 50-59-year-old workers were significantly associated with refraining from drinking alcohol. Workers 40 years of age or older were significantly associated with cooling their bodies with refrigerant. Furthermore, 30-39-year-old workers and 40-49-year-old workers were significantly associated with adequate consumption of water compared to young workers.

Conclusion

The results of our study suggests that young decontamination workers are more likely to have worse lifestyle habits and take insufficient preventive measures for heat illness. This may be the cause of higher incidence of heat illness among young workers.
