First record and occurrence of Μacrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas) (Homoptera: Aphididae) on cotton in Central Greece
Authors: Lykouressis D.P.
Published: November 2017

The potato aphid, Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas), is a highly polyphagous species on secondary hosts feeding on over 200 plant species, but is especially found on Solanum tuberosum L. M.euphorhiae was first noticed on cotton (cv Zeta 2) at Thiva in central Greece in May 1988 during a study on the population dynamics of cotton aphids carried out in a cotton field in the above mentioned region. This species has been recorded on other host-plants in Greece. It resembles Acyrthosiphon gossvpii Mordvilko, a species which also colonizes cotton but has not been recorded yet in Greece. They can be distinguished from each other since the former has shorter siphunculi, hearing a zone of polygonal reticulation on their apices, than the latter. Moreover, it is easily distinguishable from Aphis gossypii Glover, Aphis fabae Scopoli and Aphis craccivora Koch, species which also colonize cotton. A. gossypii is the most important aphid species attacking cotton at Thiva region and has also been recorded previously on cotton by various authors. The species A. fabae and A. craccivora have also been recorded on cotton in Greece. M. euphorbiae was found in the first three samplings that occurred between mid and the end of May when plants were young. From early June and during the rest of the growing season this species was not found in the field. In a total of about 50 plants sampled in each sampling only a few individuals were found. The majority of aphids were alatae, representing 69, 60 and 43 percent of the population at the first. second and third sampling dates, respectively. Alatae started to reproduce on the plants after their alightment, since first and second instar nymphs were present even from the first sampli­ng which took place after the appearance of plants. However, the number of nymphs was kept low during the period M. euphorbiae was present, suggesting that this was possiblydue either to the partial unsuitability of the cotton variety as host or to the effect of the systemic insecticide, phorate which had been applied at sowing, but this needs further investigation. This species was found again in low numbers in another cotton field at Thiva region, from mid May to early June of 1989. The fact that this species was not found from early June onwards in both years reveals that cotton is only a temporary secondary host-plant, possibly not very suitable for aphid development and reproduction. However, cotton may play some role on the population dynamics of M. euphorbiae on subsequent crops and mainly on potatoes, a crop which is widely planted at Thiva region. This might be of particular con­cern because M. euphorbiae is a vector of several viruses.

Epithrix hirtipennis, a New Pest of Tobacco in Greece, with Notes on its Morphology, Bioecology and Control
Authors: Lykouressis D.P.
Published: November 2017

The tobacco flea beetle, Epithrix hirtipennis (Melsheimer) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) was first noticed on tobacco in Agrinio area in early May 1988. In the next year it was also found to attack tobacco in the same area. Heavy attacks were also recorded on eggplant while a low infestation was noticed on potato and pepper. To date this species is widespread in several areas of Phthiotis (Central Greece) where tobacco is grown developing quite large populations. The adult feeds on the leaves causing almost circular holes, usually 1-2 mm in diameter, and irregular shape ones when they are larger. The adult starts feeding usually from the upper surface of the leaves and to a lesser extent from the underside. When large numbers of adults are present, larger holes are caused on the tobacco leaves while in higher population densities, the whole lamina except of nerves can be eaten, leading to severe damage of the crop. The adult was usually found on the upper surface of the lower tobacco leaves. It showed a strong feeding preference for the lower then the upper leaves of tobacco, as well as plants of reduced growth. The latter preference could be taken into account in an integrated pest management programme for tobacco pests. E. hirtipennis is of nearctic origin, known in U.S.A., Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Colombia and pos sibly occurs in other areas of Central and South America. It is a polyphagous species attacking cultivated plants and weeds such as tobacco, eggplant, potato, tomato, pepper, Jimson weed, ground cherry, nightshade, horse nettle and to a lesser extent many other plants. In tobacco, one adult has been estimated that can eat leaf quantity equal to ten times of its own weight in a day. Therefore, it can lower both the quantity and quality of leaves. E. hirtipennis was unknown to European countries until 1983. The first record in Europe was on tobacco in the area of Benevento, in the Campania region, South Italy. Later, it was recorded in Toscana, whilst Sannino and Balbiani reported that it was already present in the provinces of Campania, Basilicata, Lazio, Puglia, Abruzzo, Toscana and Umbria; Toscana and Umbria are the last areas in which the species was recorded. After its appearance, it has progressively spread into South and Central Italy causing damage which depends upon tobacco type. The record of E. hirtipennis at first in Agrinio area and later in other areas of Central Greece reveals that it rather invaded West Greece through transport from Italy and has spread to other areas.

The application of an Integrated Control on Eggplant for the Greenhouse Whitefly, Triαleurodes vαporαriorum
Authors: Abdalla SAFEL DAWLA , Michelakis S.
Published: November 2017

Integrated control of the greenhouse whitefly on eggplant, using physical (traps), chemical and biological methods, was tested. The mort efficient combination was the use of Quinomethionate and traps. Applaud and Actellic mixture was fairly effective in controlling the greenhouse whitefly. Biological control by the parasite Encarsia formosa (Gahan), resulted in moderate, but adequate control when combined with traps. Traps clone gave reasonable results. All treatments were effective in reducing whitefly population to a satisfactory low level, when compared to the untreated populations. Parasitoid/host release ratio play an important rote in the results of biological control using E. formosa. The higher relcase ratio of 4:1, parasitoid:host, gave the maximum parasitization percentage.
Effect of 17β Estradiol on the Economic Parameters of silkworm, Bombyx mori
Authors: Magdum V.Β. , Magadum S.B.
Published: November 2017

The effect of 17-P estradiol on the precocooning and post cocooning parameters of silkworm (Pure Mysore breed) were studied. The 17-β estradiol of 1, 5 and 10 μg/ml concentration was topically applied independently at 36h to III, IV and V instar larvae (Treatment-1), at 48h to IV and V instar larvae (Treatment-2) and at 72h to V instar larvae (Treatment-3). The repeated applications with each concentration of 17-β estradiol in Treatment 1&2 larvae or single application in Treatment 3 variously affected the preco­cooning and post cocooning parameters. The repeated applications of 1 pg 17-β estradiol (Treatment-1) improve the fecundity and decrease the larval duration, cocooning and moth emergence percentages.
Comparisons Between Alate Aphids Caught in Υellow Water Traps and Aphid Populations on Tomato Plants
Authors: Lykouressis P. , Perdikis D. CH. , Chalkia CH.A. , Vardaki S. C.
Published: November 2017

Aphid monitoring was conducted by means of yellow Moericke water traps placed in tomato fields in two different localities in Co Boiotia during the growing seasons in 1992 and 1993. Additionally, aphid population densities were estimated by plant sampling. Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas) and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) were the only species which developed populations on plants. Regression analysis between the number of alates from traps with either the number of alates or the total aphid population on plants showed that there was no correlation in the case of M. persicae for both localities and years. However, there were significant relationships between the number of alates in traps and either the number of alates on plants (r2=0.83) or the total aphid population on plants (r2=0.69) for M. euphorbiae in 1992. In 1993, such significant relationships were not found for the latter species, most probably due to extremely low trap catches. Significant relationships were also found between alates in traps, during their immigration period, with either alates on plants (r2=0.93) or the total population on plants (r2=0.80) in M. euphorbiae in 1992.
Elecroantennogram Responses of the Cherry Fruit Fly Rhαgoletis cerαsi (Diptera: Tephritidae) to Naturally Occurring Volatiles

Published: November 2017

EAG responses of the cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis cerasi (Linne) (Diptera: Tephritidae) were recorded in response to seventy-eight generally occurring plant volatiles and male cherry fruit fly volatiles. The test compounds are representatives of three major classes of organic compounds, aldehydes, ketones, and monoterpenes. No differences were observed in the degree of response between males and females, Carbon-chain length, unsaturation, and position of functional groups all have significant effect on the magnitude of EAG response.

Ecological data of Lepidosaphes gloverii (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) in Greece
Authors: Stathas G.J.
Published: November 2017

In June 2001 the scale Lepidosaphes gloverii (Packard) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) was found on orange trees in Peloponnesus, Gastouni area, (Southwestern Greece). From the day it was first recorded until August 2003 observations on orange trees were held both in field and laboratory, concerning the biology and ecology of this scale. L. gloνerii infests mainly the upper surface of the leaves and the fruits and less the shoots of the tree. During the period April to August 2002 the scale completed 3 overlapping generations. Female fecundity ranged between 32 and 57 eggs. Chilocorus bipustulatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Rhyzobius lophanthae Blaisdell (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) predators were found to feed upon this scale. In Ju1y 2002 a mass release of those predators took place on infested orange trees. To assess the action of these predators, observations were conducted in both field (by shaking the branches of the trees and counting the number of the predators) and laboratory (by counting the predated scales found on leaves). The release of predators contributed to the decrease of infestation density of trees. C. bipustulatus developed significantly higher populations than R. lophanthae.
Determination of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larval instars and age based on head capsule width and larval weight
Authors: Stavridis D. G. , Ipsilandis C. G. , Katarachias P. C. , Milonas P. G. , Ifoulis A. A. , Savopoulou-Soultani M.
Published: November 2017

Larνae of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were reared in laboratory conditions (26°C, 16:8 L:D) and measurements of larval head capsule width, and body weight, were used in order to determine the boundaries of larval instars. Larvae of Η. armigera completed development in 5 to 7 instars. Head capsule width could predict the larval instar only for Ll. The upper boundary of head width for L1 was 0.4mm. Body weight could predict both L1 and L2 larval instars. Boundaries between L1-L2 instars were found to be 1 mg and for L2-L3 5,5 mg. Correlation and regression analysis suggest that a combination of head capsule width and body weight can predict both larval instars and chronological age under constant conditions in the laboratory.
First phenological data of the rose pest Homalorhynchites hungaricus (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Rhynchitidae) in Greece
Authors: Kontodimas D.C. , Kavallieratos N.G
Published: November 2017

The rose curculio Homalorhynchites hungaricus (Herbst, 1783) (=Rhynchites hungaricus, =Mechoris ungaricus, =Mecorhis ungaricus) (Coleoptera: Rhynchitidae) has been recorded in Greece (Attica, May 2004) infesting blooms of ornamental roses [Rosa sp. (Rosaceae)]. This pest has also been recorded in Bulgaria and in Turkey causing serious damages on oil-bearing roses (Rosa damascena Mil1. var. kazanlika and Rosa damascena Mill. var. tringipetala respectively). In Turkey the subspecies Η. hungaricus (Herbst) subsp. marginicollis Schilskly seems to be more important. Homalorhynchites hungaricus completes one generation per year in Attica, The first adults of the beetle appear late April and infest the rose blooms feeding on them. The flight of Η. hungaricus adults lasts until the end of June. The female beetles bear often more than one hole in the young blooms and lay one egg in each hole. The development of the larvae takes place inside the calyx and lasts 30 – 42 days. The pupation of Η. hungaricus takes place in the ground, where the insect overwinters. The adults appear from late April to early May of the next year.

The efficacy of tracheostomy tube changes by speech-language pathologists: A retrospective review
Authors: Russell Scott M , Highsmith Lindsey , Henriquez Oswaldo , Belagaje Samir , Moore Charles
Published: November 2017

Background/Aims:

The number of tracheostomised patients in the acute care setting are increasing, resulting in an equal need of providers who can safely change tracheostomy tubes without complications. The objective of this retrospective study was to ascertain if trained speech-language pathologists were able to safely and efficiently perform tracheostomy tube changes in the acute care setting with minimal adverse events.

Methods:

Our retrospective case series spans from June 2010 to March 2015 and was completed at an academic hospital with a level 1 trauma designation. A total of 107 consecutive referrals undergoing a tracheostomy tube change, with a speech-language pathologist, were identified. Success was defined as the placement of the tracheostomy tube into the tracheal lumen with confirmation of placement. Only complications occurring at the time of the tracheostomy tube change were considered and were defined as an airway loss event: oxygen desaturation <85%; uncontrollable bleeding >5mL; and the inability to perform the attempted tracheostomy tube change for any other reason.

Results:

All of the tracheostomy tubes changes were performed at the bedside at a mean of 13 days post tracheotomy (range 3–28). A total of 106 (99%) of 107 tracheostomy tubes changes were successfully completed without complications; 83 (79%) of the tracheostomy tubes changes performed were the initial tracheostomy tubes change completed post tracheotomy. The remaining 23 (21%) were a combination of either the second or third change. One, (less than 1%), of the procedures was attempted and discontinued before the removal of the tracheostomy tubes, and referred back to the surgical services and was successfully managed with no untoward effects to the patient.

Conclusions:

This is the first study to audit the outcome of speech-language pathologists' ability to successfully change a tracheostomy tube. The findings suggest that specially trained speech-language pathologists, acting as part of a multi-disciplinary care team, have the potential to safely change tracheostomy tubes in an acute care setting with the availability of immediate physician and respiratory therapy support. Additional clinical benefits of the speech-language pathologist changing tracheostomy tubes may include earlier facilitation of communication, decannulation and initiation of nutrition/hydration.

Gestão de recursos humanos à luz da responsabilidade social empresarial: um estudo no setor sucroenergético em Goiás
Authors: Cruz José Elenilson , Sá de Souza Eliane Moreira
Published: November 2017

Sob o entendimento de que as responsabilidades das empresas estendem-se para toda a sociedade, surgem os estudos sobre desempenho social empresarial, com o objetivo de testar e operacionalizar a noção de responsabilidade social das empresas (RSE). Diante das transformações econômicas, financeiras e tecnológicas vivenciadas pelo setor sucroenergético brasileiro, este trabalho utiliza as medidas da dimensão de público dos Indicadores Ethos de RSE para avaliar o desempenho social das usinas do setor sucroenergético em Goiás, quanto à adoção de políticas e processos de RSE voltadas ao público interno. Aplicou-se questionário estruturado a todas as usinas em funcionamento, obtendo-se respostas de doze empresas. Os resultados indicam que a dimensão de público interno está parcialmente implantada em 75% das empresas e ainda em discussão nos 25% restantes. Conclui-se que as transformações vivenciadas pelo setor sucroalcooleiro não foram suficientemente capazes de provocar significativas mudanças na gestão dos recursos humanos, em termos de postura socialmente responsável.

Authors: Oliveira Ruan Carlos de Mesquita , Lima Patrícia Verônica Pinheiro Sales , Sousa Rennaly Patrício
Published: November 2017

Esteestudo teve como objetivo mostrar a importância de uma integração entre gestão ambiental e gestão dos recursos hídricos na busca por um desenvolvimento municipal dito sustentável, com redução de impactos negativos decorrentes do uso desordenado do solo. Para tanto, foram criados o Índice de Gestão Municipal dos Recursos Hídricos e o Índice de Gestão Ambiental para os municípios cearenses. Os principais resultados mostraram que os modelos de gestão dos recursos hídricos e do meio ambiente nos municípios cearenses apresentam fragilidades inerentes à baixa integração entre ambos e ao baixo nível de implementação de instrumentos de gestão. Como consequência podem ser potencializados os impactos negativos da falta de ordenamento no uso e ocupação do solo.

Published: November 2017

Este estudo visa avaliar o grau de maturidade de empresas do setor têxtil e de confecções no Agreste pernambucano, especificamente no município de Santa Cruz do Capibaribe. Dessa maneira, foi aplicado o diagnóstico da matriz de competitividade, proposta pela Fundação Nacional da Qualidade, seguindo as diretrizes do Modelo de Excelência da Gestão. Assim, foi possível realizar diagnóstico gerencial da qualidade e da sustentabilidade dos empreendimentos. Utilizou-se a metodologia de estudo de caso, cuja abordagem foi qualiquantitativa, com a aplicação de questionário a 25 empresas. Foi por meio desse instrumento que se identificaram o grau de maturidade e os itens que precisavam ser melhorados pelas empresas para que elas continuassem no mercado, mantendo e/ou ampliando sua parcela de mercado. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que, pela média do grau de maturidade, os empreendimentos analisados encontram-se imaturos. Nesse caso, eles necessitam avançar na gestão e melhorar significativamente seus indicadores.

Published: November 2017

The objectives were to describe the demographic characteristics of children with Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and to determine predictors of attendance at Fragile X (FX) clinics. Findings from the Community Support Network (CSN) and Our Fragile X World (OFXW) samples showed that children who attended FX Clinics were mostly male, high-school aged or younger, and white, non-Hispanic. Using logistic regression models, awareness about FX Clinic services, guardian education, and income (CSN), and child age, family income, and total number of co-occurring conditions (OFXW) were predictors of clinic attendance. Demographic and child characteristics accounted for a large portion of the explained variance. Importantly, symptom severity and parent knowledge about services were independent predictors beyond the demographic characteristics of families.

Published: November 2017

This study examines the development of self-esteem in a sample of 138 Australian adolescents (90 males; 48 females) with cognitive abilities in the lowest 15% (L-CA) and a matched sample of 556 Australian adolescents (312 males; 244 females) with average to high levels of cognitive abilities (A/H-CA). These participants were measured annually (Grade 7 to 12). The findings showed that adolescents with L-CA and A/H-CA experience similar high and stable self-esteem trajectories that present similar relations with key predictors (sex, school usefulness and dislike, parenting, and peer integration). Both groups revealed substantial gender differences showing higher levels of self-esteem for adolescent males remaining relatively stable over time, compared to lower levels among adolescent females which decreased until midadolescence before increasing back.

Para o efeito, traçamos um percurso das prioridades que têm sido consignadas pelos documentos oficiais desde 1991 até aos programas, metas e orientações atualmente em vigor. Consideramos, de igual modo, alguns projetos na área da Leitura e o seu impacto já avaliado na promoção da leitura literária nos últimos anos, no nível de ensino em apreço, nomeadamente o Plano Nacional de Leitura (PNL) e a “Casa da Leitura”. Os resultados do conjunto de medidas enunciadas evidenciaram, segundo estudos que têm sido feitos, uma enorme evolução dos alunos portugueses na leitura de textos literários, pelo que esta situação tem configurado (e beneficiado de) um quadro muito favorável a um trabalho docente com a leitura literária muito mais fundamentado. Quisemos, portanto, conhecer que práticas de leitura literária estão a ser operacionalizadas nas escolas portuguesas, no 1.º CEB, e que relação com a literatura – e com os recursos e orientações oficiais - enforma esse agir. Apresentaremos, assim, dados de um inquérito distribuído a várias dezenas de professores do 1.º CEB sobre a utilização de textos literários em contexto de sala de aula. Os dados que revelaremos não desmentem o ambiente propício a uma educação literária consistente que está a acontecer nas escolas primárias portuguesas, o que não significa que não tenhamos detetado zonas mais carentes de formação/intervenção. Terminaremos por enunciar um decálogo, tradutor das práticas mais recorrentes da nossa amostra, e faremos algumas recomendações.
As relações entre literatura e pintura nos manuais: Brasil e Portugal depois das novas diretrizes curriculares
Authors: Fritzen Celdon
Published: November 2017

Com diferentes ênfases, o diálogo entre literatura e outras artes é referido como estratégia positiva para a formação estética em geral nas diretrizes curriculares de Brasil e Portugal. Diante dessa constatação, neste artigo, minha proposta foi avaliar esse diálogo em livros didáticos de Brasil e Portugal, mas delimitando o objeto apenas na relação entre literatura e pintura. Para isso, recorri a uma amostragem da produção mais recente do gênero, relativa ao Ensino Médio de Brasil e Portugal, disponíveis na Biblioteca Geral da Universidade de Coimbra e na Biblioteca do Instituto Estadual de Educação de Santa Catarina. Verificou-se que, nos manuais consultados, as propostas de diálogo entre essas artes existem, e existem quanto mais os manuais se tornam contemporâneos. Há muito ainda, é claro, do mero uso da pintura ou de pormenor dela para ilustrar textos literários, sem proposta de diálogo e, às vezes, sequer de relação significativa. Todavia, minha avaliação observou exemplos em que a reprodução iconográfica de pinturas é utilizada como recurso para construir sentidos. Nesses casos, isso enriquece a leitura do texto literário, contribuindo para iluminar mutuamente signos e gramáticas dos textos literários e pictóricos.

El control de los pequeños estróngilos de los equinos (grupo Ciatostoma) se basa casi exclusivamente en la aplicación de antihelmínticos. En nuestro país, el desarrollo de resistencia generalizada a los bencimidazoles, está limitando las alternativas químicas disponibles a las lactonas macrocíclicas (ivermectina y moxidectina) y al pirantel, consideradas como drogas de larga y corta acción respectivamente. La información actualizada sobre la actividad de estas drogas en el campo es crítica para determinar su eficacia y detectar el desarrollo de fenómenos de resistencia a los antihelmínticos. En los equinos el período de reaparición de huevos (PRH) luego del tratamiento es considerado como un indicador temprano de la presencia de resistencia. En el presente trabajo se evaluó la eficacia clínica y el PRH luego de tratamientos con moxidectina y pirantel en equinos adultos de cinco establecimientos de las provincias de Santa Fe y Córdoba naturalmente parasitados por pequeños estróngilos. La eficacia clínica determinada al día 15 pos tratamiento utilizando un test de reducción en el conteo de huevos, osciló entre el 99,8 y el 100% para la moxidectina y entre el 98,9 y el 98,8% para el pirantel.  Por su parte en el presente estudio el PRH fue de al menos 100 días para la moxidectina y de 35 días para el pirantel. Estos resultados indican que ambas drogas se muestran activas para el control de estos nematodes y que las poblaciones estudiadas (alguna de ellas resistentes a bencimidazoles) permanecen actualmente susceptibles a la moxidectina  así como al pirantel. Esta última droga es de uso limitado en nuestro país, pero su inclusión en los programas de control contra los pequeños estróngilos podría reducir la dependencia y la presión de selección sobre las lactonas macrocíclicas y contribuir a mantener la vida útil de las mismas.
Leading A Collaborative Effort: Providing Effective Training and Support for Online Adjunct Instructors
Authors: Lowell Victoria L. , Exter Marisa E.
Published: November 2017

This article describes the design and development of a set of interventions for the training and support of adjunct instructors in a rapidly growing online graduate program at a large, Midwestern research university. These interventions were designed to improve teaching preparation and assistance provided to our adjuncts. During this effort, the online program administrator collaborated with the staff from a higher education partner (Wiley), full-time faculty, and experienced adjuncts to determine what interventions were necessary. The stakeholders were also involved to varying degrees in the design, development, and implementation of the interventions. The interventions include: modifications to the general instructor orientation; check-ins for newly hired adjuncts; creation of course expectation guides; formalization of course orientation; opportunities for adjuncts to collaborate; a mentorship program for inexperienced adjuncts; monitoring and formative feedback for individual adjuncts; the creation of an executive committee and addition of a staff member; and a formative evaluation process to evaluate adjunct training and support. The goal of these changes was to improve the performance and satisfaction of adjuncts, leading to retention of talented online instructors and higher overall student satisfaction. This article addresses the unique design considerations made during the selection of training methods and support services and the related performance measures.
Students as Researchers, Collaborators, & End-users: Informing Campus Design
Authors: Huber Amy M. , Waxman Lisa K. , Clemons Stephanie
Published: November 2017

Students in undergraduate design programs often lack opportunity to conduct original research and apply their findings to project solutions. Consequently, they struggle with identifying and framing a design problem, understanding the importance of research-based design, and how to appropriately apply research findings to the needs and desires of project stakeholders. In interior design, this unawareness can lead to design solutions that appeal to the eye, but lack defensible rationale and often do not solve the design problem, or meet user needs. Exposure to research methods and collaborations with practitioners may change how students approach design problems by fostering an empathetic understanding of the human experience.This design case describes a project design at two universities where 72 sophomore and junior students collaborated with furniture manufacturer Herman Miller, Inc. to generate original research before applying their findings to the redesign of informal learning spaces in their campus libraries. Constructivist Learning and Backward Instructional Design, guided the design of the project. The result of this engagement, exposed students to research methods and research integration strategies, who outwardly demonstrated more confidence in making decisions during the design process. While the long-term implications from this type of engagement are not yet evident, encouraging students to ground their design ideas on evidence they have gathered, and their analysis of it, may not only shape their future decision making, but potentially lead to more appropriate client solutions and provide students with coveted job opportunities in positions where evidence-based design is highly valued.
Mistake Detection Videos to Improve Students’ Motivation in Math
Authors: Luna-Lucero Myra , Elmore Kristen
Published: November 2017

This article describes the design case of an instructional experience incorporating videos of mistakes for students to practice mistake detection and recovery skills. Learning from mistakes is often encouraged, but students may need prac- tical support to address them e ectively. The intention of this design is to facilitate adaptive cognitive and emotional responses to handling mistakes. This article documents two distinct but related formats of a mistake recovery design: a personal video recording and pre-recorded videos featuring fourth grade mathematics. These two formats evolved from personal experiences to become a classroom intervention. We trace this design process including the context, theory, and implementation experiences that shaped the design and discuss unforeseen obstacles and design alterations that arose during this process.

Authors: Clements Kyle
Published: November 2017

This case presents the design of a GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) guided smartphone tour. The tour was a redesign of an assignment for an introductory Physical Science course in which students take a guided tour of a local canyon. The app is downloaded to students’ personal devices and provides a guided tour. I am giving special attention to how the user’s experience is shaped by the environment, technology and social context which surrounds the tour.

Background: Lead can be a poison to the environment which may affects all body systems. Lead can also affect human health especially children, lead potentially lowering level of intelligence, growth, loss, causing anemia, and disorder among children as lead is neurotoxin and accumulative. In addition lead can cause a decrease in the ability of the brain, whereas in adults may cause interference of high blood pressure and other tissue toxicity. Any increase in the levels of lead in the blood of 10 ug / dl led to a decrease in IQ of 2.5 points or 0.975 IQ. The research aims to produce a special model of health risk among elementary school children due to lead exposure in the coastal city of Makassar.Methods: This study investigate the distribution of toxic lead in Makassar coastal area namely; sea water, sediments, shells  and crab. Then investigate lead toxins around the school such as lead in soil, dust, paint, snacks and air. After create distribution maps lead risks we create analysis of environmental health risks for children.Results: Result revealed that the analysis of spatial distribution of Lead in the sediment shows that the high distribution was in station 3 in Mariso districts then coastal Tallo area and the lowest was in Tamalate District. While the analysis of the spatial Pb distribution in mussels seen that the highest distribution Pb was in  station 4 of districts Mariso then coastal waters Tallo area and the lowest was in Tamalate District 5.00 to 7.20 mg / g.Conclusion: In conclusion, it revealed the concentration of Lead at all stations of those four districts have exceeded the level of allowed standard and may potentially lead to a hazard both to environment and human being who are living in the surround area.

Design of pre-optics for laser guide star wavefront sensor for the ELT
Authors: Muslimov Eduard , Dohlen Kjetil , Neichel Benoit , Hugot Emmanuel
Published: November 2017

In the present paper, we consider the optical design of a zoom system for the active refocusing in laser guide star wavefront sensors. The system is designed according to the specifications coming from the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT)-HARMONI instrument, the first-light, integral field spectrograph for the European (E)-ELT. The system must provide a refocusing of the laser guide as a function of telescope pointing and large decentring of the incoming beam. The system considers four moving lens groups, each of them being a doublet with one aspherical surface. The advantages and shortcomings of such a solution in terms of the component displacements and complexity of the surfaces are described in detail. It is shown that the system can provide the median value of the residual wavefront error of 13.8–94.3 nm and the maximum value <206 nm, while the exit pupil distortion is 0.26–0.36% for each of the telescope pointing directions.

Conceptualization of the terms of self and the sense of identity and their disorders in the course of schizophrenia in the works of Polish authors
Authors: Karakuła-Juchnowicz Hanna , Morylowska-Topolska Justyna
Published: November 2017

A defined and formed identity is the foundation of human mental functioning. The sense of one’s own existence as an individual, together with the conscious image of oneself, plays a fundamental role in regulating behaviors. The ability to see the limits of one’s own body is a significant milestone in human development, because it allows the development of a global sense of self, and that is the basis for the process of identifying one’s own identity.

The paper presents the contribution of Polish researchers (psychiatrists and psychologists) to understanding the phenomenon of the sense of self, identity, and their disorders with particular emphasis on schizophrenia.

Method: A review of the available literature by Polish authors on the subject was undertaken by searching the following data-bases: Polish Bibliography of Medicine, CEJS, NUKAT and National Library Database, using the keywords: identity, self, personality, schizophrenia, ego, within time frame: 1970–June 2017. The article includes only those works which made the original contribution of Polish authors to research on the issue of self and the sense of identity, with particular emphasis on their disorders in schizophrenia.

Results: The works of three Polish authors: J. Reykowski, J. Kozielecki and Z. Zaborowski deserve particular attention in the context of the definition of self and the sense of identity.

The works of A. Kępiński, in turn, have contributed to understanding the problem of disorders of self in schizophrenia. Kępiński’s psychopathological concept was based on the analysis and description of the pathology of self, the pathology of the boundary self–the world, disorders of time-space order and the hierarchy of values. In these terms, he considered the structure of the psychotic world, especially in schizophrenia and melancholy. In his opinion, schizophrenic psychosis manifests itself primarily in the form of the blurring of the boundary self–the world and the pathology of self.

The paper also presents the contribution of J. Zadęcki, M. Rzewuska, J. Wciórka, S. Steuden, M. Huflejt-Łukasik to understanding the disorders of the sense of self in schizophrenia.

Conclusions: The views of Polish authors presented in the paper are an interesting contribution to world literature on research into disorders of self in schizophrenia.
