EL CUESTIONARIO DE RELACIONES EN EL CENTRO (C.R.C.): UN INSTRUMENTO PARA IDENTIFICAR ALUMNOS EN RIESGO DE SER VICTIMIZADOS
Authors: Calvo Rodríguez Ángel R.
Published: January 2017

Abstract. QUESTIONNAIRE RELATIONSHIPS AT THE CENTER (CRC): AN INSTRUMENT TO IDENTIFY STUDENTS AT RISK OF BEING VICTIMIZEDThe situation of bullying in schools is assessed using questionnaires in which students are asked to indicate: a) if they have observed situations of harassment and intimidation and to indicate their type and frequency, frequent places where have observed harassment b) if they have suffered harassment situations and express their type and frequency and frequent places where he has been harassed. With these questions runs the risk of biasing the perception of the students because they are almost exclusively required to take into account negative experiences. The C.R.A. is an assessment tool that identifies school climate to student bullying suffered or is at risk of suffering based on student demonstrations concerning:a) The feeling of comfort and security that students have in the center.b) The perception of the teachers' attitude towards students and to the relationships established.c) The ideas and knowledge that avoid becoming involved in a relationship of victimization.Keywords: school climate survey, bullying.Resumen.La situación de acoso en los centros se suele averiguar utilizando cuestionarios en los que se pide a los alumnos que indiquen: a) si han observado situaciones de acoso e intimidación y que indiquen su tipo y frecuencia, los lugares frecuentes donde han observado el acoso y b) si han sufrido situaciones de acoso y que expresen su tipo y frecuencia y los lugares frecuentes donde ha sido acosado. Con este tipo de preguntas se corre el riesgo de sesgar la percepción de los estudiantes debido a que casi exclusivamente se les pide que tengan en cuenta experiencias negativas. El Cuestionario C.R.A. es un instrumento de valoración del clima escolar que permite identificar al alumnado que sufre acoso escolar o corre el riesgo de padecerlo basándose en las manifestaciones de los alumnos sobre: a) El sentimiento de bienestar y seguridad que tienen los alumnos en el centro.b) La percepción de la actitud del profesorado hacia los alumnos y hacia las relaciones que establecen.c) Las ideas y conocimientos que evitan verse implicados en unas relaciones de victimización.Palabras clave: cuestionario clima de centro, acoso escolar.

Abstract.FLUENCY AND ACCURACY IN COPYING TASKS (MANUSCRIPT VS. CURSIVE): A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDYHandwriting evolves with the pass of time. The type of script which children begin to learn depends on curriculum in their countries and the educational policy. There are two main types of script: manuscript and cursive. There is a controversial issue about which type of script would be best to use to begin the teaching of handwriting, but has not been a consensus yet. This research analyzes manuscript and cursive script modalities. Our objective was to determine whether there are differences in accuracy and fluency when students are copying the alphabet letters using different types of script (manuscript vs. cursive), and also whether these differences are mediated by the grade (1st, 2nd and 3rd ). A subtest from the test called Early Grade Writing Assessment (EGWA) (Jiménez, 2012) was administered to a sample of children from 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade.Keywords: writing, fluency, accuracy, manuscript letter, cursive letter, cross-sectional study.Resumen.La escritura evoluciona con el paso del tiempo. El tipo de letra que los niños comienzan a aprender depende del currículo de su país y la política educativa. Hay dos tipos principales de letra: manuscrita y cursiva. Existe un debate sobre qué tipo de letra sería mejor utilizar para comenzar la enseñanza de la escritura, pero no se ha llegado a un consenso. Esta investigación analiza la escritura con ambos tipos de letra. Nuestro objetivo ha sido averiguar si existen diferencias en la exactitud y fluidez cuando los niños copian el alfabeto utilizando diferentes tipos de letras (manuscrita vs. cursiva), y si estas diferencias están mediatizadas por el curso (1º, 2º y 3º). Para ello se administraron algunos subtests de la prueba denominada Early Grade Writing Assessment (EGWA) (Jiménez, 2012) a una muestra de niños de 1º, 2º y 3º de Educación Primaria.Palabras clave: escritura, fluidez, exactitud, letra manuscrita, letra cursiva, diseño transversal.

Abstract.The great therapeutic power of the metaphor has been demonstrated by the applied research conducted by our team during the last twenty years. This paper summarizes the assumptions underlying the intervention model we have built and developed through research spanning more than two thousand cases of children and adolescents with emotional problems. We will explain some of these cases using the metaphors with which we have obtained the best results. As a general conclusion, we note that the symbols transmitted by any metaphor greatly help children because they reframe their experiences and have a positive impact on their personal identity, selfesteem and, ultimately, in their maturity and emotional wellbeing.Keywords: Psychology intervention, emotional processes, metaphor, emotional problems.Resumen.Del trabajo de investigación aplicado que llevamos a cabo como equipo investigador desde hace ya más de veinte años, ha quedado ampliamente constatado el gran poder terapéutico que tiene el uso apropiado de la metáfora. En este artículo se presenta un resumen de los postulados que sustentan el modelo de intervención que se ha ido gestando y desarrollando gracias a un proceso de investigación-acción aplicado a más de dos mil casos de niños y adolescentes con problemáticas de base emocional. Explicaremos mediante casos y ejemplos prácticos las metáforas más representativas y con las que se han obtenido los mejores resultados. Como conclusión general, cabe destacar que la simbología que transmite cualquier metáfora que el niño o niña interioriza se convierte en un gran aliado para él o ella en cuanto a que produce un reencuadre en las vivencias cambiando su polaridad y produciendo un efecto positivo en su identidad personal, en su autoestima y, en definitiva, en su maduración y bienestar emocional.Palabras clave: Intervención psicopedagógica, procesos emocionales, metáfora, problemas emocionales
Standaardafrikaans, standaardspelling en die AWS
Authors: McLachlan J
Published: January 2017

Die standaardisering van Afrikaans tot die Standaardafrikaans wat ons vandag ken, is 'n komplekse en dikwels omstrede saak. Die hedendaagse omstredenheid van en kritiek teen Standaardafrikaans kom nie in hierdie artikel aan bod nie. Sonder om verder daarop in te gaan, word aanvaar dat daar in die loop van min of meer 'n eeu 'n standaardvorm ontwikkel is uit die vroeë Afrikaans-Hollandse taalvorme wat hier te lande gebesig is en dat dié standaardisering geslaagd was omdat Standaardafrikaans hom vir die grootste deel van 'n eeu doeltreffend naas Engels kon handhaaf in die hoër funksies van n taal, soos die staatsbestel, die regspleging, die (hoër) onderwys, die wetenskap en die letterkunde. Vir hierdie artikel word eweneens aanvaar dat die standaardvariëteit van n taal kwalik suksesvol kan funksioneer sonder 'n doeltreffende ortografie en dat die standaardisering van die Standaardafrikaanse ortografie daarom 'n wesenlike rol in die proses van die standaardisering van Afrikaans gespeel het. Die ortografiese standaardiseringsproses word beskou aan die hand van die tien uitgawes van die gesaghebbende Afrikaanse woordelys en spelreëls (AWS). Daar word aangetoon dat die grondbeginsels van die Afrikaanse spelling, wat deur al tien AWS'e inhoudelik dieselfde gebly het, enersyds gehelp het om die verafrikaansing van "vreemde woorde" te rig en te vestig, en andersyds n merkwaardig stabiele spellingsisteem tot stand gebring het. Die ontwikkeling van die AWS - by name die deurlopende presisering en verfyning van die spelreëls, en die bydrae daarvan tot die standaardisering van Afrikaans - word aan die hand van die tien uitgawes aangetoon.
The lived experience of drivers with a spinal cord injury: A qualitative inquiry
Authors: Mtetwa Lucia , Classen Sherrilene , Van Niekerk Lana
Published: January 2017

Introduction: Driving is an instrumental activity of daily living and a facilitator of meaningful participation in society for the majority of the population, including persons with spinal cord injuries. Persons with spinal cord injury may have impaired fitness to drive capabilities. Little is known about perceptions of drivers with spinal cord injury on driving, driver rehabilitation, or return to driving. This study examined the post spinal cord injury driving experiences of drivers and illuminates their rehabilitation and return-to-driving needs within the South African context.Method: This phenomenological study explored personal experiences of fourteen drivers with spinal cord injury, recruited through purposive sampling. Face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data analysis was an inductive and iterative process.Results/findings: Six themes represent the study findings: adjusting to physical limitations, safety perceptions and influencing factors, the positive role of driving, contextual features and supports, environmental barriers, and inconsistent provision of rehabilitation services.Conclusions: The findings indicated that occupational therapists ought to consider incorporating driver rehabilitation services and adopt mediation approaches to advocate for persons with spinal cord injury, who want to drive. Plausible practice and research opportunities are discussed for occupational therapists who are interested in driving and spinal cord injury.

Published: January 2017

Background: Down syndrome is one of the most investigated and well discussed syndromes related to intellectual disability, yet little can be found in literature of the impact that sensory processing difficulties or disorders have on the functioning of individuals with Down syndrome. This study investigated the sensory processing, praxis and related social participation of children with Down syndrome with the purpose of contributing to a better understanding thereof and heightening awareness of the importance of including sensory integration therapy as part of intervention.Methods: The study was conducted by using a cross-sectional, quantitative, descriptive study design. The Sensory Processing Measure(SPM) Home Form was used to collect information regarding the children's sensory processing, praxis and related social participation. The questionnaire was completed by a parent or caregiver of a child with Down syndrome (n=15).Results: The majority of the children with Down syndrome included in the study experienced vulnerabilities in social participation (53.3%) and praxis (80.0%), whereas 100% of the children experienced vulnerabilities in sensory processing.Conclusion: The results of this study contribute to the emerging understanding of the sensory processing, praxis and related social participation of children with Down syndrome. The findings may be taken into consideration by occupational therapists delivering services to children with Down syndrome to ensure optimal intervention. It is recommended that further studies on larger samples investigate this topic to corroborate these findings

Introduction: Long-term disability caused by stroke can be decreased through comprehensive rehabilitation.Aim: This article aims to describe the functional outcomes achieved by stroke survivors in an urban Western Cape Province setting to add to the information on stroke management.Methods: A descriptive mixed methods study was done. Proportional, stratified random sampling was used to select 53 participants from a population of 267. Quantitative data were collected with the Stroke Impact Scale Version 3.0 and the Modified Barthel Index, and analysed with the Mann-Whitney test. A p value of < 0.05 was deemed statistically significant. Five of the 53 participants were purposively sampled for the qualitative phase of the study. Qualitative data were analysed according to predetermined themes.Results: Seventy-five per cent of participants were managed in a general medical ward. Four were admitted to a specialised inpatient rehabilitation centre. Eighty-three per cent received physiotherapy, 62% received occupational therapy and 57% received both physio and occupational therapy. Fifty-one per cent experienced communication difficulties, but only 18% received speech therapy.Conclusion and recommendations: Sufficient inpatient therapy (preferably in a stroke unit /ward) and family education /training should be received before discharge. Occupational therapy, speech therapy, physiotherapy as well as psychological, social work, vision screening and dietetic services should be expanded at both hospital and community level.

Published: January 2017

Emotional regulation is an important skill enabling or disabling the occupational engagement of adolescent clients. Evaluation is a key concept in the occupational therapy process, informing treatment approaches and outcomes. The authors could not identify a scale measuring emotional regulation strategies used by adolescent in the literature. A quantitative, descriptive study was done following a process of scale development. A survey with 78 items was designed which 404 adolescents from a tertiary institution completed. From the results, a provisional scale was developed, measuring emotional regulation strategies used by adolescents. The scale has 39 items, consisting of five emotional regulation strategy categories, named Comfort and Sharing, Antisocial behaviour, Creative Activities, Physical Activities and Eating. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) model proved the provisional scale, as well as the items, to be reliable. Further research for the development and the refinement of this scale is recommended. The use of an emotional regulation scale could assist the occupational therapist in understanding the adolescent client's emotional regulation strategies or lack thereof.KEY WORDS: Emotional regulation, Adolescents, Structural Equation Modelling

Commentary on Ohriner (2016)
Authors: Condit-Schultz Nathaniel
Published: January 2017

This commentary offers a review of Ohriner's corpus-based research on rap music, and includes an in-depth comparison of Ohriner's model with my own. It highlights multiple divergences in our underlying methodologies, and outlines the potential impact of such differences on the research results. Ohriner provides a convincing and widely appealing presentation of how musical corpora may be leveraged to effectively enhance traditional forms of analysis. However, I question his approach to certain processes, such as sampling, transcription, and segmentation. I believe that his analysis would benefit from stronger definitions in these areas.

Authors: Ghate Jayshri , Sinha Meenakshi , Sinha Ramanjan
Published: January 2017

Background: Multiple choice questions (MCQs) remain an important tool for objective assessment in medical students wherein different types of MCQs reflect students’ performance towards various aspects of cognitive domain. Thus, all students may not perform with similar ability across all different types of MCQs. In this context, the current study aim to investigate whether performance of medical students in MCQ based assessment relates to the performance in different subtypes of MCQs in Physiology.Methods: Marks obtained in 65 MCQ during formative assessment by 145 first year MBBS students were segregated into four different types of standard MCQs attempted (i.e. Single Response-SRQ, Multiple Response-MRQ, Reason-Assertion-RAQ and Problem based-PBQ) while students were grouped into High, Medium and Low achievers (HA, MA and LA respectively) in relation to their total score.Results: Result showed highest scores in SRQ (69.00±11.6%, 57.34±11.12% and 40.11±13.03%) and PBQ (71.04±11.68%, 59.38±15.36% and 42.35±15.72%) but lowest in MRQ (49.16±11.58%, 41.39±12.42% and 30.78±14.10%) and RAQ (48.82±12.48%, 44.17±14.25% and 31.80±13.05%) for HA, MA and LA respectively with significant differences among all groups. However, total MCQ marks were significantly correlated with MRQ and PBQ for HA; with SRQ and MRQ for MA; and SRQ, MRQ and PBQ for LA.Conclusions: MRQ might have significant influence on the outcome of MCQ based assessment in differentiating between high and medium achievers, whereas both MRQ and PBQ shows potential to differentiate between high and low achieving students. This may be utilized for effective screening in summative assessments or progress of learning in formative assessment.
Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist (IL1RA) and Interleukin-4 (IL4) Genes Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) Are Associated with Adiposity in Malaysian Subjects
Authors: Kok Yung-Yean , Ong Hing-Huat , Say Yee-How
Published: January 2017

IL1RA intron 2 86-bp repeat and IL4 intron 3 70-bp repeat are VNTRs that have been associated with various diseases, but their role in obesity is elusive. The objective of this study was to investigate the association of IL1RA and IL4 VNTRs with obesity and adiposity in 315 Malaysian subjects (128 M/187 F; 23 Malays/251 ethnic Chinese/41 ethnic Indians). The allelic distributions of IL1RA and IL4 were significantly different among ethnicities, and the alleles were associated with total body fat (TBF) classes. Individuals with IL1RA I/II genotype or allele II had greater risk of having higher adiposity - even after controlling for ethnicity [Odds Ratio (OR) of I/II genotype = 12.21 (CI = 2.54, 58.79; p = 0.002); II allele = 5.78 (CI = 1.73, 19.29; p = 0.004)]. However, IL4 VNTR B2 allele was only significantly associated with overall adiposity status before adjusting for ethnicity [OR = 1.53 (CI = 1.04, 2.23; p = 0.03)]. TBF was also significantly higher in those with IL1RA II allele compared with I allele (31.79 ± 2.52 vs. 23.51 ± 0.40; p = 0.005). Taken together, IL1RA intron 3 VNTR seems to be a genetic marker for overall adiposity status in Malaysian subjects.
High Thoracic Disc Herniation Causing Horner Syndrome with the Intraoperative Finding of Conjoined Nerve Root Compression
Authors: Bhandutia Amit K. , Zuzek Zachary , Schessler Matthew J. , Tomycz Nestor D. , Altman Daniel T.
Published: January 2017

Case:

A 29-year-old man presented with right medial arm pain with paresthesia, as well as right-sided ptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a right paracentral disc herniation at the T1-T2 level. The patient underwent a hemilaminectomy with a medial facetectomy through a posterolateral approach to the T1-T2 disc space, followed by a discectomy. Intraoperative findings were notable for a conjoined nerve root.

Conclusion:

Although high thoracic disc herniation is rare, its diagnosis should be considered when patients present with radicular arm pain and Horner syndrome. A high index of suspicion should be maintained for nerve root anomalies to limit iatrogenic injury and to ensure successful decompression.
Two-Stage Compression With Elevated Cooler-Discharge Temperatures Improves Wellsite Gas Lift Operations
Authors: Elmer William G. , Elmer David C.
Published: January 2017

Opportunities to improve the standard three-stage wellhead gas lift compressor design for application to unconventional shale reservoirs are presented. A two-stage design is presented, with two field installations in the Eagle Ford Shale reviewed as a case study.

The “shale revolution” began with gas reservoirs, most notably the Barnett, and preceded the development of shale oil resources. This resulted in the need for many new compressors, and the rental compressor industry accelerated production of the standard three-stage compressor. No substantive design changes were made, because compressors that could meet either wellhead/gas lift or gathering applications were preferred because of their versatility. As the shift was made to horizontal oil, problems appeared with the standard compressor design in handling natural-gas-liquids (NGL) components (primarily propane, butanes, pentanes, and hexanes plus). The standard design provides extra after cooling, in part to support glycol-dehydrator operation. As a result, these components often condense in compressor gas coolers, resulting in operational and environmental problems including frozen dump lines, heavy tank-vapor emissions, and hydrates. Downtime and emissions related to these problems contributed to some operators viewing gas lift as the artificial-lift method of last resort, despite its superior ability to handle sand production, deviated wellbores, and high fluid volumes.

The capabilities of two-stage vs. three-stage compressors for gas lift are compared in the case study. The lower suction pressures afforded by three-stage compression are negligibly beneficial to horizontal shale oil wells, where slugging is an issue, and higher separator pressures are selected to mitigate slugging and aid liquid displacement from separation equipment. In addition, the incremental pressure drop achieved by three-stage compression can provide little production improvement compared with the total pressure drop from the reservoir to the wellbore. The phase diagram is used to show the necessity of temperature control on each stage of gas cooling to prevent process problems for gases, including NGL components.

Published: January 2017

Spent drilling muds are the liquid residues of rock drilling operations. Due to a high concentration of suspended solids and potentially detrimental chemical properties, they can negatively affect microorganisms participating in wastewater treatment processes. We evaluated the addition of a potassium‐polymer drilling fluid (DF) to activated sludge in laboratory sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) for municipal wastewater treatment. Ciliate assemblage, the most dynamic component of eukaryotes in activated sludge, and which is highly sensitive to changes in the system, was evaluated. The average ciliate abundance dropped by about 51% (SBR 2; 1% DF added) and 33% (SBR 3; 3% DF added) in comparison to the control (SBR 1; wastewater only). A decrease in the total number of ciliate species during the experiment was observed, from 25 to 24 in SBR 2 and from 17 to 13 in SBR 3. Moreover, a drop in the number of dominant (>100 individuals mL−1) ciliate species was observed during the experiment—from eight in the control to five in SBR 2 and four in SBR 3—signaling noticeable changes in the quantitative structure of ciliate species. The species analyzed showed different responses to DF addition. The most sensitive was Aspidisca cicada, which is bacteriovorus. In contrast, two predators, Acineria uncinata and Holophrya discolor, showed no reaction to DF addition. Our results indicate that addition of potassium‐polymer DF, in doses of 1 to 3% of the treated wastewater volume, had no toxic effects on ciliates, but qualitative and quantitative changes in their community were observed.

Core Ideas

The impact of drilling fluid on activated sludge has not been previously investigated.

Our data show the effect of drilling fluid on ciliates from activated sludge.

We also analyzed the structure of ciliate communities suppressed by drilling fluid.

The results provide information about the doses that can be used during treatment.

Authors: Melianingsih Nuning , Sugiman Sugiman
Published: January 2017

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan keefektifan dan perbandingan keefektifan dari pendekatan open-ended dan problem solving pada pembelajaran bangun ruang sisi datar ditinjau dari pencapaian kemampuan penalaran, pemecahan masalah, dan komunikasi matematis. Penelitian ini adalah quasi experiment dengan desain pretest-posttest nonequivalent group design. Populasi penelitian mencakup seluruh siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri 1 Pandak, Bantul, Yogyakarta. Selanjutnya dengan memilih secara acak dari keseluruhan kelas tersebut, terpilih kelas VIII F dan VIII G sebagai sampel penelitian. Untuk menguji keefektifan masing-masing pendekatan pembelajaran digunakan uji one sample t-test. Untuk menguji bahwa pendekatan open-ended lebih efektif daripada pendekatan problem solving, data dianalisis menggunakan MANOVA yang dilanjutkan dengan uji t-Bonferroni. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua pendekatan pembelajaran efektif ditinjau dari masing-masing aspek, dan pendekatan open-ended lebih efektif daripada pendekatan problem solving pada pembelajaran bangun ruang sisi datar ditinjau dari pencapaian kemampuan penalaran, pemecahan masalah, dan komunikasi matematis di SMP.Kata Kunci: pendekatan open-ended, pendekatan problem solving, kemampuan penalaran, kemampuan pemecahan masalah, kemampuan komunikasi matematis The Effectiveness of Open-Ended and Problem Solving Approach in Matter of Flat Side Construct in Junior High SchoolAbstractThe aims of this research are to decide the effectiveness and the comparison of the effectiveness of open-ended and problem solving approach toward matter of flat side construct lesson viewed from achivement of reasoning ability, problem solving and mathematics communication.
