Music Teacher Education in China
Authors: Rauduvaite Asta
Published: January 2018

The content of music teacher education study programmes is conditioned by the needs of the market economy and information society, higher education as a mass phenomenon, penetration of humanist ideas into the curricula and many other factors. The aim of these study programmes is to respond to the needs of society, develop the competencies of teacher education and establish the right conditions for successful implementation and to achieve the intended learning outcomes. The training of music teachers in China requires overall improvement in the level of music teacher training. The Ministry of National Education provides the curriculum for music teacher education as well as the guidelines for teaching compulsory courses for music teachers at general institutions and prestigious universities in China. This profession is important in professional courses and in the field of pedagogy; therefore, integrating the content of elective courses into professional courses could be more prolific and comprehensive. Keywords: Music teacher education, study programme, music education.
Motivation of Medical Students to Study Sciences
Authors: Kralova Eva
Published: January 2018

Natural sciences and their applications (medical biophysics, medical chemistry and medical biology) represent an inevitable part of medical curriculum. They are often negatively evaluated and a lack of motivation to their study is observed. The attitudes of medical students towards natural sciences are influenced by their negative experiences from the previous study. Nevertheless, knowledge from the natural sciences represents the necessary basis for better understanding of the basic principles of the medical diagnostic and therapeutic methods. Therefore, the indispensable role of natural science teachers is to achieve positive attitudes and motivate students to study them. Our research project is focused on the identification and subsequent application of motivating approaches in natural sciences teaching. Pedagogical investigation using anonymous questionnaires was done with the aim to specify respondentsâ€™ (first year students of Comenius University in Bratislava, Faculty of Medicine) motivation and attitudes towards teaching and learning natural sciences before starting medicine study and after the first semester of medicine study. Keywords: University medical education, studentâ€™s motivation, natural sciences.

Authors: Stikliene Aida
Published: January 2018

The teacher's attitude towards the teaching process and communication skills is of particular importance and plays a crucial role in today’s rapidly changing world. It has to go together, raising consciousness and awareness of individuals on study environment issues and ensuring that they contribute to solutions of learning problems. The research was conducted with 405 prospective professionals from the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Ecology, Aleksandras Stulginskis University. An interactive questionnaire ‘Study subject in student’s eyes’ (SSSE) developed at Aleksandras Stulginskis University (2014–2017) was used as the data collection tool. This article analyses the teachers’ pedagogical work from the students’ point of view. The multi-variate analysis and regression tree model were used in the interpretation of results. The results confirmed the hypothesis that hard working students better evaluate teachers’ professional skills. It seems that elder course students with age have higher expectations from the teaching environment. Keywords:

Developing and renewing music teacher competences: prospects and challenges
Authors: Lasauskiene Jolanta
Published: January 2018

The topic of music teacher education and training raises many issues for discussion. The purpose of the present study was to analyse the approach of pre-service music education teachers towards their professional activity and to discuss their expectations within the context of the competence-based education. Thirty four students (international and national), all pre-service music teachers studying in Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences, were included. The results indicated that generally the expectations of students were (more or less) in line with the principles of the competence-based initial music teacher education. Prospective music teachers describe their professional activity as broad and multidimensional but they also emphasise the importance of personal and ethnic values, implementation of general, subject-specific and professional competences and continuous improvement. It has been revealed that in music education it is particularly important to combine orientation towards pedagogical activities with orientation towards the spread of the learnerâ€™s personality. Keywords: Competence-based education, music teacher education, competences, studentâ€™s expectations, Lithuania.

Published: January 2018

There is a growing call on the integration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) at the primary school level, aiming to motivate students to learn these subject matters, in order to correspond to the scientific and technological challenges of an increasingly demanding society. Recently, many studies sustain the importance of extending STEM to STEAM by adding Arts to the previous areas, to better prepare students for real life. In this article, we present a way to promote STEAMH, by integrating Heritage with STEAM. With a qualitative approach and an action research methodology, we intend to investigate how to develop a pedagogical intervention project that fosters STEAMH learning at primary school and local community. It is concluded that it is possible to implement a STEAMH pedagogical intervention project, being necessary to develop a collaborative partnership with local community and local schools.

Authors: Tena Colunga Arturo , Urbina Californias Luis Angel , Archundia Aranda Hans I.
Published: January 2018

Se presentan resultados e interpretaciones de un programa experimental donde se han ensayando trabes acarteladas de concreto reforzado en condiciones de continuidad y sujetas a cargas cíclicas reversibles que permitan estudiar su comportamiento a cortante. Se estudiaron cuatro trabes acarteladas y una prismática de concreto reforzado que fueron diseñadas para fallar a cortante cuando disponen de refuerzo por cortante en la zona de las cartelas. Todos los especímenes tienen una longitud de acartelamiento de un tercio del claro libre y cubren uniformemente ángulos de acartelamiento entre cero (prismática) y diez grados. Los especímenes fueron ensayados a través de un patrón de cargas cíclicas reversibles y crecientes controladas por desplazamiento, donde se sometieron a dos ciclos completos a la misma amplitud de desplazamiento, aumentando la amplitud de los ciclos de desplazamientos conforme a un patrón geométrico establecido. Las variables en estudio con respecto al mecanismo resistente a cortante son: (a) el ángulo de acartelamiento y su impacto en la resistencia del concreto, (b) la contribución del acero de refuerzo longitudinal inclinado, (c) la contribución del refuerzo transversal y, d) el ángulo de la grieta principal por cortante. Además, se examinaron las diferencias de comportamiento que presentan las trabes acarteladas con respecto a las prismáticas y se evalúan ecuaciones de diseño propuestas basadas en: a) el método de las secciones y, b) modelos de puntales y tensores (modelos de armadura). Se comprueba que con las ecuaciones propuestas se estiman valores de resistencia a cortante razonables para fines de diseño.
CONTRIBUCIÓN DE LAS FRECUENCIAS CARACTERÍSTICAS AL PERIODO DE VIBRACIÓN DOMINANTE EN LA CIUDAD DE QUERÉTARO, MÉXICO
Authors: Alvarez Manilla Aceves Alfonso , Carreon Freyre Dora , Mendoza Carlos , Zuñiga Davila Madrid Ramon , Zhao D.
Published: January 2018

En este trabajo se presenta la metodología desarrollada para evaluar la contribución de la frecuencia característica de cada estrato al período fundamental de vibración a partir de la inversión de las curvas de dispersión aparente obtenidas del levantamiento en campo de ondas superficiales con fuente activa, sin importar la velocidad de cada capa. El cálculo del período fundamental se realizó con el procedimiento simplificado de un medio estratificado lineal desarrollado por Dobry et al. (1976). Como referencia para la clasificación por clases o categorías de velocidades se utilizó el elaborado por el International Building Code (IBC, 2009) y modificado para los materiales del subsuelo de la Ciudad de Querétaro. Las unidades geológicas principales se agruparon en tres secuencias estratigráficas: la Rocosa que abarca las mesetas y elevaciones topográficas que rodean el valle, la de Ladera que es la zona de pendiente variable constituida por depósitos volcánicos y sedimentarios (aluviales), y la secuencia de Planicie que comprende depósitos estratificados del tipo lacustre, fluvial y volcánico. A partir del análisis de los perfiles de velocidades de ondas de corte se observó que existen estratos con velocidades bajas confinados por otros de alta velocidad; lo que indica la presencia de estratos de baja rigidez a profundidades variables. En la zona rocosa el período fundamental de vibración es corto (menor que 0.1 s), mientras que en los depósitos de la planicie es más largos (mayor que 0.3 s). En la zona de ladera el período es relativamente largo (variable entre 0.1 s a 0.3 s) posiblemente debido a un efecto topográfico. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la metodología propuesta para evaluar el período dominante a partir de la integración de las frecuencias características obtenidas con ondas superficiales permite estimar los espesores y velocidades de corte de cada estrato, el periodo fundamental de vibración de cada secuencia estratigráfica y finalmente, sus espectros de sitio.
Femoral Component Sizing During Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Charette Ryan S. , Sheth Neil P. , Boettner Friedrich , Scuderi Giles R. , Melnic Christopher M.
Published: January 2018

* Distal femoral preparation and sizing are important for overall balancing and function.

* Femoral sizing and subsequent osseous resections can be performed with use of either an anterior or a posterior referencing technique.

* With the anterior referencing technique (that is, referencing the anterior and posterior femoral resection on the basis of the anterior femoral cortex), notching of the anterior femoral cortex can be avoided, but it is more difficult to control posterior condylar offset and the size of the flexion gap.

* With the posterior referencing technique (that is, referencing on the basis of the posterior condyles), the size of the flexion gap and posterior condylar offset usually can be controlled, but the risk of anterior notching or overstuffing is increased.

* To our knowledge, there have been no high-level studies showing a difference in outcomes between the 2 techniques.

Published: January 2018

Colchicine has been longstanding and widely used for the treatment of acute gout flares and prevention
of gout relapses. Its use has been extended to a series of autoinflammatory diseases, such as familial Mediterranean
fever and more recently to periodic fever with aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and adenitis, Behcet’s disease
and idiopathic recurrent acute pericarditis. In this review, we summarize current indications of colchicine
use, discuss its pharmacokinetics and mechanism of action and examine its use in the treatment of autoinflammatory
diseases. Further understanding of the underlying mechanisms of the latter conditions as well as identification
of the therapeutic efficacy and treatment target of colchicine may lead to more effective management of these
diseases.
Using Video Technology to Increase Treatment Completion for Patients With Latent Tuberculosis Infection on 3-Month Isoniazid and Rifapentine: An Implementation Study (Preprint)
Authors: Lam Chee Kin , McGinnis Pilote Kara , Haque Ashraful , Burzynski Joseph , Chuck Christine , Macaraig Michelle
Published: January 2018

BACKGROUND

Since January 2013, the New York City (NYC) Health Department Tuberculosis (TB) Program has offered persons diagnosed with latent TB infection (LTBI) the 3-month, once-weekly isoniazid and rifapentine (3HP) treatment regimen. Patients on this treatment are monitored in-person under directly observed therapy (DOT). To address patient and provider barriers to in-person DOT, we piloted the use of a videoconferencing software app to remotely conduct synchronous DOT (video directly observed therapy; VDOT) for patients on 3HP.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of our study was to evaluate the implementation of VDOT for patients on 3HP and to assess whether treatment completion for these patients increased when they were monitored using VDOT compared with that using the standard in-person DOT.

METHODS

Between February and October 2015, patients diagnosed with LTBI at any of the four NYC Health Department TB clinics who met eligibility criteria for treatment with 3HP under VDOT (V3HP) were followed until 16 weeks after treatment initiation, with treatment completion defined as ingestion of 11 doses within 16 weeks. Treatment completion of patients on V3HP was compared with that of patients on 3HP under clinic-based, in-person DOT who were part of a prior study in 2013. Furthermore, outcomes of video sessions with V3HP patients were collected and analyzed.

RESULTS

During the study period, 70% (50/71) of eligible patients were placed on V3HP. Treatment completion among V3HP patients was 88% (44/50) compared with 64.9% (196/302) among 3HP patients on clinic DOT (P<.001). A total of 360 video sessions were conducted for V3HP patients with a median of 8 (range: 1-11) sessions per patient and a median time of 4 (range: 1-59) minutes per session. Adherence issues (eg, >15 minutes late) during video sessions occurred 104 times. No major side effects were reported by V3HP patients.

CONCLUSIONS

The NYC TB program observed higher treatment completion with VDOT than that previously seen with clinic DOT among patients on 3HP. Expanding the use of VDOT may improve treatment completion and corresponding outcomes for patients with LTBI.

Authors: Dubey Shailja , Bist Renu , Misra Shrilekha
Published: January 2018

Objective: Ethyl methano sulphonate (Ems), a chemical mutagen is widely used to induce a large number of functional variation in wheat plant. The objective of present study was to determine the activity of enzymatic antioxidants and Lipid peroxidation (LPO) after EMS exposure in a wheat plant in M1, M2 and M3 generation of Triticum aestivum L. var. HD 2894.Methods: Presoaked seeds were treated with EMS for 6 hour with different concentration like 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4% and 0.5%. Some biochemical parameter such as Catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR) and Lipid peroxidation (LPO) were studied.Results: Our result showed that EMS affects enzymatic and oxidative parameters in all generation. CAT, GR, APX and LPO activity was found to be reduced in m1 generation as compared to control. A simultaneous elevation was recorded in the concentration of ems compared to control treated plants after given the exposure of ems in m2 and m3 generation. Data analysis of antioxidant and LPO during the m2 generation showed that the effect of the mutagen on the activity of antioxidant and LPO did not cease in the m1 but continued to affect the m2 generation. Analysis of m3 generation showed stability in the activity of antioxidant and LPO from m2 to m3 generation.Conclusion: Lethal dose of ems was determined by the activity of antioxidant under laboratory condition. In this experiment, quantitative determination was applied as a regular procedure. The data analysis showed the activity of antioxidant, LPO and doses of ems concentration in m1, m2 and m3 generation. Variability observed on the basis of mean and standard deviation. On the whole, differences between concentrations and treatment time of Ems significantly affect the activity of antioxidant and LPO in all generation.

Authors: Bedolla Pereda Deyanira , Ortiz Nicolás Juan Carlos
Published: January 2018

Este trabajo presenta una investigación exploratoria cuyo objetivo fue indagar cómo los valores socioculturales, importantes para un grupo de personas, impactan en la elección de productos. Para responder el objetivo un grupo de participantes reportó sus valores relevantes a través de un cuestionario. Se identificaron seis valores: familia, medio ambiente, civilidad, modernidad, productividad y solidaridad. Una semana después los participantes crearon un cartel afectivo para reportar y explicar detalladamente la elección de productos relevantes para el ser. Los resultados indican que sólo el valor modernidad pudo ligarse directamente con la elección realizada a través del cartel afectivo. Estudiar los valores en la disciplina del diseño podría ayudar a desarrollar soluciones a partir de valores específicos del individuo, relacionados con la mejora de la interacción social o del medio ambiente.
Representación espacial y bienestar social. Colonia “La Planta”, Iztapalapa a un mes del sismo.
Authors: Wiener Castillo Gabriela
Published: January 2018

El terremoto del 19 de septiembre del 2017 expuso los problemas de la ciudad más allá de las condiciones sísmicas de la región. En el presente texto se argumentará que existe en la generación de planes y programas de 
desarrollo una responsabilidad relacionada con los efectos destructivos provocados por este evento. Para ello revisaremos someramente las formas de representación del espacio, herramienta a través de la cual históricamente se han tomado y delegado decisiones sobre el manejo y
planeación de la ciudad, sus recursos materiales, naturales y artificiales. Si bien las representaciones del espacio permiten reconocer las características del paisaje, también se articulan para generar los planes y programas de desarrollo, determinando el contenido mismo de éstos. En el cómo se ve y cómo se representa el paisaje, está definido el destino que se le dará a los recursos; por ello se discutirá que el bienestar de la sociedad depende de la planeación de los recursos, entendidos como los bienes comunes que constituyen el patrimonio que da sustento a la sociedad. Debe ser base de toda planeación la representación y el entendimiento de los límites de dichos recursos o bienes comunes, ya que de ello depende la equidad y la justicia social programada y planificada en
los planes de desarrollo.

Sherman, Hermite-Hadamard and Fejér like inequalities for convex sequences and nondecreasing convex functions
Authors: Niezgoda Marek
Published: January 2018

In this paper, we prove Sherman like inequalities for convex sequences and
nondecreasing convex functions. Thus we develop some results by S. Wu and L.
Debnath [19]. In consequence, we derive discrete versions for convex
sequences of Petrovic and Giaccardi?s inequalities. As applications, we
establish some generalizatons of Fej?r inequality for convex sequences. We
also study inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard type. Thus we extend some recent
results of Latreuch and Bela?di [8]. In our considerations we use some
matrix methods based on column stochastic and doubly stochastic matrices.

A generalization of the m-topology on C(X) finer than the m-topology
Authors: Azarpanah F. , Manshoor F. , Mohamadian R.
Published: January 2018

It is well known that the component of the zero function in C(X) with the
m-topology is the ideal C?(X). Given any ideal I ? C?(X), we are going to
define a topology on C(X) namely the mI-topology, finer than the m-topology
in which the component of 0 is exactly the ideal I and C(X) with this
topology becomes a topological ring. We show that compact sets in C(X) with
the mI-topology have empty interior if and only if X n T Z[I] is infinite.
We also show that nonzero ideals are never compact, the ideal I may be
locally compact in C(X) with the mI-topology and every Lindel?f ideal in
this space is contained in C?(X). Finally, we give some relations between
topological properties of the spaces X and Cm(X). For instance, we show that
the set of units is dense in Cm(X) if and only if X is strongly
zero-dimensional and we characterize the space X for which the set r(X) of
regular elements of C(X) is dense in Cm(X).

The object of the present paper is to study Ricci semisymmetric contact
metric manifolds. As a consequence of the main result we deduce some
important corollaries. Besides these we study contact metric manifolds
satisfying the curvature condition Q,R = 0, where Q and R denote the Ricci
operator and curvature tensor respectively. Also we study the symmetric
properties of a second order parallel tensor in contact metric manifolds.
Finally, we give an example to verify the main result.

This case describes a female patient with agenesis of the maxillary right lateral incisor, with her permanent canine in its position and the deciduous canine retained. Additionally, she presented with a maxillary left peg lateral incisor. To solve her functional and esthetic complaints, a multidisciplinary approach involving perio-restorative procedures was proposed. Periodontal surgeries were performed to align the gingival contour, and the restorative approach utilized ceramic veneers.

Í þessari rannsókn er skoðað hvort samkvæmni sé yfir tíma í árangri við stjórnun íslenskra verðbréfasjóða. Byggt er á gögnum fyrir árin 1998 til 2005 yfir nær alla sjóði sem störfuðu á tímabilinu. Þrenns konar aðferðum er beitt til að skoða hvort ávöxtun eitt ár hefur forspárgildi fyrir árið á eftir. Niðurstaða rannsóknarinnar er að fyrri árangur við stjórnun sjóðanna virðist ekki vera góð vísbending um framtíðarárangur. Þó sjást einhver merki um samkvæmni eða ósamkvæmi milli tímabila þegar einstakar tegundir verðbréfasjóða eru skoðaðar. Þannig er jákvætt samband á milli fyrri árangurs og framtíðarárangurs hjá sjóðum sem fjárfesta í erlendum hlutabréfum en neikvætt hjá innlendum hlutabréfasjóðum. Í báðum tilfellum er sambandið þó veikt og getur átt sér ýmsar skýringar.
The Soviet political censorship and motion picture art in Russia in the period of the New Economic Policy
Authors:   Kuban Institute for Social and Economic Studies, Nezhigay Eleonora Nikolaevna
Published: January 2018

The paper deals with the development problem of motion picture art in the Soviet Union in the period of the New Economic Policy. The author describes the activities of the political control bodies represented by the Main Administration for Literary and Publishing Affairs (Glavlit) established within the People’s Commissariat for Education in 1922 and the Main Repertory Committee created as a part of Glavlit in 1923 in order to censor a list of productions in such places of entertainment as theaters and cinemas, variety and circus, bars and restaurants, working clubs. The study emphasizes the Main Repertory Committee’ policy on cinema programs. The paper describes the basic principles and challenges of cinema censorship related to many separate film distributors, a significant number of commercially popular but ideologically unacceptable foreign movies, imperfect management of duplicative supervisory bodies. Since 1924 there was a tighter control over films due to the introduction of additional age, territorial, and social constraints when issuing a permit for film screening in the context of growing private screenings. The control was tightened due to the consolidation of all film distributors into Sovkino company which was entitled to be engaged in prior censorship and issue authorized certificates. Domestic educational cinema played the essential role in promoting scientific knowledge and a new ideology. When the public procurement in film production was approved and the supervisory bodies were centralized, the motion picture art was under total control.

Published: January 2018

The paper describes the relations between the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the adherents of the Ukrainian autocephalous movement (the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate) in the last decade of the 20th century. These autocephalous religious organizations originated from the autocephalous projects of the first half of the 20th century. The legalization of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in the restructuring era coincided with the revival of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church. Both denominations coexisted on the small territory of Galicia, which led to their serious confrontation in the 1990s. The contradictions between them remain unresolved at present. There have been disputes concerning the ownership of the church buildings in Western Ukraine. These three organizations adhere to the principles of Ukrainian nationalism.

Проблемы толкования конституционно-правовых актов
Authors: Evtyukhin Yury Alekseevich ,   Kemerovo Institute (branch) of  Plekhanov Russian University of Economics
Published: January 2018

The paper discusses the problems of interpreting laws and regulations while teaching the constitutional law in Russia. The author emphasizes that the proper understanding of evaluation and moral standards remains a challenge. These standards have no specific legal content. A law enforcement official gets an opportunity to act at his own discretion. It causes an abuse. The author proposes using a narrow authentic interpretation of the law, empowering the legislative body to clarify such standards. While interpreting the constitutional laws and regulations, the research identifies the distinctions between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. The standards of the law may be in conflict with the principles of the law. Such contradictions have a negative impact on the development of the legal awareness and worldview of students and can lead to the breaches in their future professional activities.
