Global and Local: Rethinking citizenship in art and visual culture education
Authors: Garber Elizabeth
Published: July 2018

We are all familiar with global colonization by the world’s dominant cultures. Participatory democracy (as differentiated from other concepts of democracy) is threatened by globalization because international corporations are beyond the control of nation-states. Yet thinking of globalization as bad or the local as remedy is overly reductive. In education, it is up to us as teachers and theoreticians, to develop means to guide students in ways to understand, explore, and live in our globalized world. Based on these theoretical premises, five principles are developed that provide a basis for art and visual culture teaching practice: identity, understanding beyond ourselves, race/class/gender awareness, becoming political subjects, and transgression and play.
Road Blocks, Road Works and Continuing Explorations of the Terrain: An examination of drama in education in New Zealand in relation to the UNESCO Road Map
Authors: Greenwood Janinka
Published: July 2018

This article examines the current state of drama in education in New Zealand. It takes as a basis the principles of the UNESCO Road Map, but also recognises that education is a complex human agency that does not readily follow map directions. It acknowledges the factors that cause frustration for drama teachers, and tracks the development of a strong role in national curriculum. It examines the complex relationship between the agency of teachers and the external constraints that impact upon them. Finally it explores the opportunities offered by having drama in the curriculum, noting particularly how the apparent constraints created by being an examinable subject can be transformed to serve genuine educational goals.
Issues of Global and Local Quality in Arts Education
Authors: Bamford Anne
Published: July 2018

Quality is not a random occurrence in arts and creativity partnerships. The achievement of quality must be planned. Any arts partnership requires both quality assurance and quality control components. Quality assurance manages quality of processes, while quality control measures deliverables - ‘products’ - against standards. This paper looks at quality from a global and local perspective and argues that arts experiences from children and young people need to be:

• "Fit for purpose": i.e. The arts education experience should be suitable and relevant for the intended purpose and the intended participants/audience.

• "Right first time": i.e. There are certain sets of attributes that are generally associated with quality arts engagement and arts partnerships within education and these can become ‘prerequisites’ for a programme, there by mistakes should be eliminated, or at least reduced.

This paper outlines the key components of quality arts education and suggests that the focus of research needs to move forward from a impact of the arts to quality of the arts.

“Best Practice” Around 1800. Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi’s Educational Enterprise in Switzerland and the Establishment of Private Pestalozzi Schools Abroad
Authors: Horlacher Rebekka
Published: July 2018

In the wake of the first PISA-survey, experts in education encouraged educational policy to take the successful Finnish school-system as a model. But the temptation to copy successful attempts in education is even older and leads us back right to the beginning of the heated public discourses about the importance of education in the context of the emerging national states. In the midst of this transnational discourse around 1800 was the Swiss Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746–1827). In his private institutes he tried to apply his pedagogical “method,” promising to teach the children the elementary knowledge easily, quickly, and effectively and at the same time to develop these cognitive competencies in harmony with the physical and moral capacities of the young human, leading eventually to a fully developed intelligent moral person. These promises were very attractive for governments, teachers, and parents from all over Europe and even from the United States.
The Making of the Luxembourger. Histories of Schooling and National Identity in the Grand Duchy
Authors: Rohstock Anne , Lenz Thomas
Published: July 2018

Since the nineteenth century the modern school not only has become an important arena for the politicians and their different national agendas but also a somewhat distorted mirror of a specific national and regional culture. As the history of the school system is deeply intertwined with the history of the nation state, school histories tend to be written within the framework of a greater national narrative. One possibility to find out what “being Luxembourgish” means is therefore to look at how school history has been written in the Grand Duchy. The authors identified one narrative which altered over time and gives a vivid impression of the changes Luxembourg underwent during its “struggle for identity” in the last 200 years.
From Neglect to Nexus: Examining the Place of Educational History in Teacher Education
Authors: Christou Theodore Michael , Sears Alan
Published: July 2018

In faculties of education across North America, the so-called foundations of education are in crisis. Pressure to shorten teacher education programs and to focus on developing the instrumental skills of new teachers has resulted in courses in philosophy, history, sociology, anthropology, and psychology being moved from the core of teacher education to the periphery. This paper describes the decline of history in teacher education using the Faculty of Education at Queen’s University as a case study. We contend this decline occurred more by systematic neglect of history’s value in professional education than by overt attack on its position as one of “the foundations” of the field. We go on to argue that history, properly taught, has the potential to provide a powerful nexus to teacher education programs helping new teachers locate themselves and individualize their personal beliefs in relation to the vast body of professional knowledge that is circulated and recycled about policy and practice.

From the Past to the Future: Changing Agendas in Teacher Education between the 19th and the 21st Century
Authors: Rohstock Anne , Tröhler Daniel
Published: July 2018

The educational turn of the late eighteenth century, nation building of the nineteenth century, and efforts to promote global unity after the two World Wars did not only have effects on educational organizations, policies, and materials, but also on the manner with which the major actors in the world of education—namely, teachers – were trained. The different ideals and agendas in teacher training reflected the major cultural concerns of each era: in the nineteenth century, this was national uniqueness and supremacy, which, in the post war period, gave way to internationalization and global standardization. These visions were associated with the emergence of particular academic subfields and heavily shaped pedagogical ideals. In the era of nation building, the history of education dominated teacher education. In the context of the Cold War teacher training was aligned with a new internationalist and scientific paradigm. The following chapter discusses these two agendas in teacher education. In the first section we will reconstruct the rise of the history of education as a major subject in nationalist and religiously inspired teacher education in Germany and France. In the second section we will show how this leitmotif in the Cold War era was supplanted by a “cognitive turn” in the training of professional educators.
Ubiquitous Learning and the Future of Teaching
Authors: Burbules Nicholas C
Published: July 2018

This essay examines the implications of anywhere/anytime, or “ubiquitous” learning for rethinking teaching as an activity. The essay touches on the following themes: (1) changes that promote learning as a more continuous process integrated into the flow of human activities; (2) changes that promote learning as a more situated and contextual process; (3) changes that promote more reflective learning; (4) changes that promote more collaborative learning; (5) changes that promote teaching in more of a partnership model with learners; (6) changes that integrate formal learning, informal learning, and situated, experiential learning; (7) changes that promote new relations with other partners in the learning process – parents, workplaces, and so on; and (8) changes that promote ubiquitous learning opportunities for teachers themselves. Each of these changes constitutes a set of opportunities, and challenges, for teaching and learning in new ways. The essay concludes with some brief observations about the implications of these changes for the professional training and development of teachers.
Autochthonous Education
Authors: Beeman Christopher
Published: July 2018

Reference is commonly made to the failure of Aboriginal students in schools of the modern West. Another perspective suggests that Aboriginal students are being failed by schools. But neither perspective considers that this circumstance, however described, might highlight what is wrong with schools, in general, and might offer possibilities of change, not only for the benefit of Aboriginal and Indigenous students, but for all students. By refocusing from Aboriginal to Indigenous, this paper proposes educational approaches that bridge culture and cross the human/more-than-human divide.

Cosmopolitanism and Canadian Multicultural Policy: Intersection, relevance and critique
Authors: Hébert Yvonne M.
Published: July 2018

Given the global scope of migration, this paper explores the re-emerging concept of cosmopolitanism for its theoretical possibilities with respect to the process of integrating into an officially multicultural country. Nine possible positionings are tentatively identified and explored, starting from global variability, global interconnectedness and global intercommunication. The resulting theorization provides support for a cosmopolitan approach for greater understanding of the realities of multiculturalism, thus signaling the need for a renewal of this policy.
Ciudadanía sin certezas
Authors: García Xus Martín , Cámara Ana Novella , Rovira Josep Ma Puig
Published: July 2018

La idea de ciudadanía se ha basado en la búsqueda de algo en común, algo que se impone y pauta la existencia personal y social. Este modelo pierde vigencia con la progresiva disolución de las certezas que dictaban los cánones de verdad y bondad. La progresiva desaparición de las seguridades es una liberación que nos obliga a buscar caminos para idear nuevas formas de vida digna. Reconocer la diferencia y la voluntad de diálogo son dinamismos oportunos en un mundo sin seguridades. Dinamismos que pueden manifestarse de modo ejemplar en el trabajo científico y en la política deliberativa. El artículo pone en cuestión este argumento para mostrar cómo las prácticas escolares similares —proyectos de trabajo y asambleas de clase —enseñan cómo vivir sin certezas. Y lo logran cuando el proceso de tutoría refuerza los valores inherentes a este tipo de prácticas. Los autores concluyen afirmando que la ausencia de certezas no significa la falta de compromiso, esperanza y solidaridad.
Of metaphors and literalization: Reconceptualizing scaffolding in Language Teaching.
Authors: Diaz Maggioli Gabriel H
Published: July 2018

The metaphor of scaffolding is ubiquitous in the field of education and that of Language Teaching in particular. However, the term has become literalized thus losing its original meaning and is now an umbrella term encompassing various forms of teacher intervention. Added to this, the methaphor has come under extended criticism as a consequence of the spread of Sociocultural Learning Theory. This paper explores the metaphor of scaffolding and attempts to validate it as a legitimate form of mediation within the sociocultural construct of Zone of Proximal Development by promoting a reconceptualization of the term in light of alternative definitions. Implications for language teaching and language teacher education are highlighted and new perspectives advanced.
A cosmopolis of all beings: Cosmopolitanism, Indigeneity and the more-than-human
Authors: Beeman Chris
Published: July 2018

Cosmopolitanism - either an idea that goes far back in recorded human history, or an approach whose form came before a definition - places high value on individual moral responsibility to other moral beings beyond the intermediation of the nation-state. Nussbaum's version, critiqued by Naseem and Margison, links cosmopolitanism to rational liberal democracy, beyond, but not to the exclusion of, individual responisiblity and loyalty to the state. Appiah's more nuanced version still holds the possibility of a universalist ethic while respecting difference. Magsino sees cosmopolitanism as a possible countervailing force to globalization. All of these recent theorists place cosmopoiltanism in the realm of human action and responsibility.

This paper explores Spinoza's cosmology as a way of not only broadening the sphere of cosmopolitanism to the more-than-human world, but in doing so, shifting the basis of membership therein from responsibilty to other moral beings, to acting morally to the extent of the capacity one has to formulate moral sensibility. This stretches the hitherto human orientation of cosmopolitanism. But Toulmin's etymology, linking human ordered-ness to ordered-ness in the world, suggests otherwise. Spinoza's cosmology is shown to have relevance to some Indigenous ontologies.
The potential and pitfalls of editions in educational contexts
Authors: Horlacher Rebekka
Published: July 2018

By the example of school reformer and education scholar Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827) along with editions of his writings and correspondence, this article examines the relationship between sources, research traditions, historiography, and the production of editions. What emerges is that those sources that have been turned into editions for use by researchers exercise a significant influence on the issues researchers explore and on historiography, while the kind of historiography dominant at any given moment has always privileged a particular kind of edition. In light of two examples, this paper elaborates on the problems this creates for historiography after the linguistic turn and how these can be minimized – in significant part by tapping the potential of digital editing.

À la recherche d’une identité: l’université en Italie entre égalitarisme, «adéquation à l’Europe» et mythe d’Humboldt.
Authors: Palomba Donatella
Published: July 2018

À partir de l’analyse d’un certain nombre de traits propres à la situation italienne par rapport à la politique de l’excellence dans l’enseignement supérieur et aux éléments qui l’influencent, l’article vise à proposer des points de réflexion d’un intérêt plus général : d’une part, une réflexion sur l’ « excellence pour tous » préconisée notamment par le NEHE, et d’autre part et en un sens plus large, une réflexion sur la conception même de l’enseignement supérieur et sur le rôle de l’université dans le monde difficile d’aujourd’hui. Ceci est fait en se rapportant aussi à l’héritage d’idées et d’institutions que l’histoire nous transmet - en premier lieu la conception humboldtienne, à la fois mythe et force inspiratrice – héritage qui doit être examiné lucidement, sans idéalisation ni désapprobation a priori , dans une vision constructive.http://dx.doi.org/10.15572/ENCO2015.04
La photographie de classe dans l’école française: une source sous-estimée de compréhension de l’histoire de l’école, interface entre sphères privée et publique (XIXe-XXIe)
Authors: Wagnon Sylvain
Published: July 2018

Représentation d’un groupe d’élèves, la photo de classe est devenue depuis le milieu du XIXe siècle un “rituel scolaire”, une tradition et un usage qui mérite d’être étudié. Point aveugle de la recherche, source à l’interface de l’institution scolaire, des enseignants, des élèves et des parents, nous avons fait l’hypothèse que la photo de classe n’était pas seulement un témoin culturel mais un outil pour la compréhension des usages et des pratiques scolaires.Notre objectif est, en nous basant sur le corpus abondant des photos de classe du XIXe siècle à nos jours, d’utiliser l’analyse historique de la photo de classe non pas comme une illustration d’un contexte mais comme un élément de compréhension même de l’histoire de l’école Pour préciser notre réflexion nous proposons trois axes. Le premier nous amène à définir cet objet singulier qu’est la photo de classe. Dans un second temps nous nous attacherons à établir les contours juridique et symbolique de ce rituel scolaire fortement codifié depuis 1927. Dans un troisième temps nous nous interrogerons sur l’analyse même de cette photo pour comprendre si au-delà de la mise en scène photographique, l’institution scolaire a fait de la photo de classe un reflet voire un modèle de l’école.
Regenerar la sociedad, construir el patriotismo o la ciudadanía: Educación y socialización política en la España del siglo XX
Authors: Mayordomo Alejandro
Published: July 2018

The article provides an historical review of the different features that characterized the discurses of civic education during the twentieth century. The different ideas and initiatives examined here are representative of positions taken by the “regeneracionismo”, whether liberal or Catholic, by movements related to the working class, by those sustaining authoritarian positions, or by groups that were committed to the establishment and consolidation of democracy in Spanish society. The analysis situates the different objectives, meanings and modalities of the formative process, as well as the different civic values advocated for future citizens, which went from conformity, integration, discipline and information to autonomy.
Hacia una Educación Intercultural: Enfoques y Modelos
Authors: Sedano Antonio Muñoz
Published: July 2018

Pedagogical models are frameworks that guide researchers and educators. They are not neutral because they integrate theories, ideologies, objectives, values, and norms. This article analyzes and classifies educational models that deal with multiculturalism following four socio-political approaches: 1) cultural hegemony that includes three models, assimilationist, segregationist, and compensatory; 2) integrationist, which includes the non-racist education model and an emphasis on human relations; 3) recognition of the plurality of cultures which includes models of multicultural curriculum and orientation, and multicultural competencies; 4) interculturalist approaches, based on cultural symmetry and relying on anti-racist holistic intercultural education. It combines the advantages of antiracist and multicultural education within the context of an education for democracy with a global dimension.
Devolution and Control in Alberta
Authors: Taylor Alison
Published: July 2018

A package of reforms to education designed to restructure the education system was introduced in the first three-year business plan for education in Alberta in 1994. Similar to other sites, the intention of the reforms was to increase community involvement and to make the system more efficient and accountable. Borrowing from policy writers, this paper traces the process associated with funding changes and the introduction of school-based management as part of the simultaneous centralization of control and devolution that began in 1994. Findings confirm that the cuts in education funding was a key driver in the restructuring, that centralizing changes overshadowed devolutionary reforms, and that there was more attention given to early phases in the policy process than to implementation and evaluation of outcomes.
Calidad y equidad en el futuro de la educación: El problema de la igualdad de oportunidades sigue siendo un problema
Authors: Derrico Evelia
Published: July 2018

The educational models applied, like the cultural demands of the job and career world, bring about unfair situations whose solution is society’s moral duty to deal with. It is not a question of who did not go to school or abandoned it, but of those who go and do not receive the attention the others did. This is an unfair situation as much as that of the illiterate. However, this is more immoral because they do not receive equal opportunities when going and trusting school’s responsibility. It is necessary to update new practices that permit the creation of co-operative dynamics, which guarantee a chain of the value of knowledge, of its construction and its management through integrated and hypertextual systems. I only intend to supply educational compensation ideas that act on what has been produced and is being produced by the models, contributing to avoid new types of exclusions which attempt against educational quality and equity.
Que (re)viendrait faire la mémoire dans l’enseignement de l’histoire?
Authors: Laville Christian
Published: July 2018

Over the past years, memory has developed as an important theme, as much in public space in general as in the historical field in particular. Now, it can be perceived circulating around historical education. What benefits can we expect from this? After having recalled the modern conception of historical education and its goals, the paper considers, first, the place and role that memory occupies in the field of history, and, second, its possible place and role in the field of history education. Before concluding that the advantages to be drawn from this tendency are not evident, it may be wise to anticipate some effects opposite to what is expected from a modern historical education.
What kind of citizen? Political choices and educational goals
Authors: Westheimer Joel , Kahne Joseph
Published: July 2018

The notion of democracy occupies a privileged place in our society. Educators and policymakers are increasingly pursuing a broad variety of programs that aim to promote democracy through civic education, service learning, and other pedagogies. The nature of their underlying beliefs, however, differs. “What Kind of Citizen?” calls attention to the spectrum of ideas represented in education programs about what good citizenship is and what good citizens do. Our argument derives from an analysis of both democratic theory and a two year study of educational programs in the U.S. that aim to promote democracy. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative data from observations and interviews with analysis of program documents and quantitative analysis of pre/post survey data. We detail three conceptions of the “good” citizen: personally responsible, participatory, and justice oriented that emerged from literature analysis and from our study. We argue that these three conceptions embody significantly different beliefs regarding the capacities and commitments citizens need in order for democracy to flourish; and they carry significantly different implications for pedagogy, curriculum, evaluation, and educational policy. We underscore the political implications of education for democracy and suggest that the narrow and often ideologically conservative conception of citizenship embedded in many current efforts at teaching for democracy reflects not arbitrary choices but rather political choices with political consequences.
The political integration of newcomers of Latin American origin to Canada: An examination of the role and relevance of prior knowledge
Authors: Long Neyda H. , Hughes Andrew S.
Published: July 2018

The purpose of this research was to map the understanding of the concept of political participation held by newcomers to Canada from countries from Spanish-speaking Latin America. The relevance of the work lies in the view that this prior knowledge plays a significant role in how newcomers adjust to political activity in the new society. Canada has tacitly recognized the full spectrum of participation and belonging for newcomers, including its economic, social and political dimensions, but the historical emphasis in policies and programs has been upon economic and social integration. Here, attention is directed to the issue of integration into the political fabric of the nation. The research employed a phenomenographic method and data were generated from 70 individuals from 30 families. The findings revealed that the participants attach considerable importance to political participation whether through conventional electoral politics or through grass-roots actions. For the study participants, the concept of political participation includes components related to emotional commitments, community involvement, social action, freedom of conscience, the power to make a difference and identification with Canada. The findings show that the motivational force to belong channels the preferred forms of political engagement.
Mujer Gitana y Educación: un Camino hacia los Derechos Humanos
Authors: Ayuste González Ana , Payà Sánchez Montserrat
Published: July 2018

The existence of four world-wide conferences, declarations, conventions and proposals of action to study and face up to women’s unequal situation, as far as human rights are concerned, is an indicator of a wide politically-based social change. This social change must be accompanied, though, by institutional changes, law modifications, consistent educational practices and respectful quotidian attitudes if we really want it to be genuine. This paper presents the results from an investigation carried out in three counties in Spain, during the period 2000-2003, which was aimed to discover the factors that impede gipsy girls and teenagers to finish their schooling. The investigation has been carried out in context of human rights, women, minorities and education.
Crossing the Line: Homophobic Speech and Public School Teachers
Authors: Clarke Paul , MacDougall Bruce
Published: July 2018

The issue of a teacher’s expressed homophobic views outside the classroom and how those can be taken to affect his position as a teacher in a public school system has recently come up in the Kempling case. The case raises a host of educational and legal questions. In this article, we examine the competing constitutional claims relating to liberty and equality. On one hand, the teacher maintained that his rights to freedom of expression and freedom of religion, set out respectively under ss. 2(a) and 2(b) of the Charter, allowed him to make his controversial, public comments. On the other hand, the equality rights guaranteed under s. 15 of the Charter protect individuals from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. We argue that the suspension of Mr. Kempling by the British Columbia College of Teachers was necessary to uphold the equality rights and interests of gays and lesbians as well as to protect the integrity of the teacher's duty to act as both an educator and a role model.
Teaching and learning in the knowledge society
Authors: Fainholc Beatriz
Published: July 2018

The education processes within the knowledge society of the twenty-first century involve a complex analysis and transformation of learning and teaching proposals. The ubiquitous penetration of technology and especially of ICT contributes to new cultural profiles of social, political and economic organizations and of course also has an impact on education. The decentralization, personalization, increased flexibility, technologic convergence, and other effects of telematic networks call for both an extension of educational programs in the framework of lifelong learning programs and also require measures to overcome exclusion in the face of the new social, technologic and economic demands. Strategic learning, the teaching of comprehension, virtual collaborative groups, and teachers as facilitators – both in face to face and remote education – will help to develop autonomy, strengthen communication and technological abilities, and foster problem solving skills in order to make decisions and participate in the improvement of quality of life through flexible structures, open mentalities, and equitable ethical values. Within this framework, learning and teaching in the knowledge society of the twenty-first century will be conceived for personal self regulation and social self sustainable alternative development. The scenarios include creative competencies and flexible attitudes through the practice of comprehensive and critical reading and thinking, emotional education, free expression, contrasted transference into reality, and participation within diversity. The latter implies a respect to local identity to foster the search for universal peace, democratic coexistence and continuous improvement.
Loretto Academy Niagara (1861-1969): Education Under the Rainbow
Authors: Smyth Elizabeth
Published: July 2018

This essay explores the origins of, and elements of teaching and learning at Loretto Niagara, a girls’ boarding and day school operated by the Irish-based Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary (The Loretto Sisters). Three key individuals shaped the development of Loretto Niagara: Michael Power, the first Roman Catholic Bishop of Toronto, Archbishop John Joseph Lynch, his second successor and Mother Teresa Dease, one of Loretto’s Canadian pioneers. Power was the bishop who invited the community to Canada; Lynch imagined a Catholic educational presence on the shores of the Falls and Dease contributed to the actualization of that vision. Through an analysis of archival sources, the paper argues that in the course of its 100 plus year existence, Loretto Niagara’s physical location gave shape to its overt and hidden curriculum. Its history documents the complexities of the intersection of gender and religion in the education of young women.
Fostering Educative Experiences in Virtual High School History
Authors: Bruno-Jofré Rosa , Steiner Karin G.
Published: July 2018

This position paper on virtual learning in high school history argues for situating integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in an ethically defensible vision of education. Our main purpose is to establish a broad theoretical platform to enable critique of new technologies in history classrooms. However, we also argue in favor of embracing ICT integration within a theoretical framework that places teaching and learning as the driving force behind adopting new technologies. First, we remind history teachers in computer-supported classrooms that their teaching is grounded in educational aims and in well-formulated ideas about what constitutes educative experiences. We place the development of the historical mindedness of the student at the core of educational aims in history teaching. Further, it is our contention that high school history modules should become steeped in a vision of education that recognizes its cultural-psychological dimensions. This means dovetailing the construction of content knowledge with teaching the cultural practices of historians and the functions of history.

Key words: technologies of information and communication, history teaching and learning, historical mindedness, cultural psychology, educative experiences

Might Diversity also be Ontological? Considering Heidegger, Spinoza and Indigeneity in Educative Practice
Authors: Beeman Chris , Blenkinsop Sean
Published: July 2018

By considering the work and words of some Anishinaabe Elders, Heidegger, and Spinoza we argue that these point at another state of being, a different ontological position, from the one most broadly expressed in modern western culture and in its schools. We call this state attentive receptivity. While leaving the door open for still other states of being, we sketch in some key conditions and qualities including its interdependence with the more-than-human world. We argue that the condition of attentive receptivity can be seen as a different ontological position because of fundamental differences in what is understood and enacted as self, place, community, and the environment. We also think that accompanying arguments for different ways of knowing imply a different way of being. Through this reflexively coupled loop of ontology and epistemology we end by suggesting that education, if it is serious about diversity, would do well to consider both ontology and epistemology in creating a truly diverse education.
Variable Step Size P&O MPPT Controller to Improve Static and Dynamic PV System Performances
Authors: Bahri Hamza , Harrag Abdelghani
Published: July 2018

In this paper, a variable step size P&O algorithm is used in order to improve the performance of a photovoltaic system in both dynamic and static plans. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm has been investigated successfully using the BP SX150S solar module connected to the DC-DC derived by a P&O MPPT algorithm. The comparative study results of both conventional fixed step size and the proposed variable step size P&O algorithms prove the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm compared to the standard fixed step size PO MPPT. The proposed algorithm reduces response time between 13.86% and 45.28% and the steady state oscillation between 83.33% and 100% leading to less power loss especially in case of fast changing atmospheric conditions.  This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
Testing for Physical Validity in Molecular Simulations
Authors: Merz Pascal T. , Shirts Michael R.
Published: July 2018

Advances in recent years have made molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations powerful tools in molecular-level research, allowing the prediction of experimental observables in the study of systems such as proteins, membranes, and polymeric materials. However, the quality of any prediction based on molecular dynamics results will strongly depend on the validity of underlying physical assumptions. Unphysical behavior of simulations can have significant influence on the results and reproducibility of these simulations, such as folding of proteins and DNA or properties of lipid bilayers determined by cutoff treatment, dynamics of peptides and polymers affected by the choice of thermostat, or liquid properties depending on the simulation time step. Motivated by such examples, we propose a two-fold approach to increase the robustness of molecular simulations. The first part of this approach involves tests which can be performed by the users of MD programs on their respective systems and setups. We present a number of tests of different complexity, ranging from simple post-processing analysis to more involved tests requiring additional simulations. These tests are shown to significantly increase the reliability of MD simulations by catching a number of common simulation errors violating physical assumptions, such as non-conservative integrators, deviations from the Boltzmann ensemble, and lack of ergodicity between degrees of freedom. To make the usage as easy as possible, we have developed an open-source and platform-independent Python library (https://physical-validation.readthedocs.io) implementing these tests. The second part of the approach involves testing for code correctness. While unphysical behavior can be due to poor or incompatible choices of parameters by the user, it can just as well originate in coding errors within the program. We therefore propose to include physical validation tests in the code-checking mechanism of MD software packages. We have implemented such a validation for the GROMACS software package, ensuring that every major releases passes a number of physical sanity checks performed on selected representative systems before shipping. It is, to our knowledge, the first major molecular mechanics software package to run such validation routinely. The tests are, as the rest of the package, open source software, and can be adapted for other software packages.
Hue Parameter Fluorescence Identification of Edible Oils with a Smartphone
Authors: Hakonen Aron , Beves Jonathon E.
Published: July 2018

Food-fraud can be highly lucrative and high accuracy authentication of various foodstuffs is becoming essential. Olive oil is one of the most investigated food matrices, due to its high price and low production globally, with recent food-fraud examples showing little or no high quality olive oil in the tested oils. Here a simple method using a 405 nm-LED flashlight and a smartphone is developed for edible oil authentication. Identification is fingerprinted by intrinsic fluorescent compounds in the oils, such as chlorophylls and poly-phenols. This study uses the hue parameter of HSV-colorspace to authenticate 24 different edible oils of nine different types and 15 different brands. For extra virgin olive oil all the nine samples are well separated from the other oil samples. The rest of the samples were also well type-distinguished by the hue parameter, which is complemented by hue-histogram analysis. This opens up opportunities for low-cost and high-throughput smartphone field-testing of edible oils on all levels of the production and supply chain.

This study aims to show that attitude to comply, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control had affect the intent to obey. Furthermore, perceived behavioral control and intention to abide affect on PBB tax compliance refers to the Theory of Planned Behavior. This study also adds a variable: the sanctions, that refers to Attribution Theory which predicted to affect PBB taxpayer compliance behavior. The sample was PBB taxpayers who have tax object in Probolinggo. The results showed that the attitude to obey had positive influence on the intention to comply, subjective norms had negatively affected on the intention to obey and perceived behavioral control had positive influence on the intention to obey. Moreover, these results also prove empirically that the intention to obey and perceived behavioral control had positive effect on PBB tax compliance, while the sanctions have no effect on PBB tax compliance. In addition, the intention to obey have the effect of partial mediation on relationships perceived behavioral control and PBB taxpayer compliance.

Objective: To explore the effect of cluster nursing care among post-stroke patients. Methods: Post-stroke patients with dysphagia (n=72) were randomly divided into two groups: experimental (or intervention) (n=36) the control (n=36). Patients in the experimental group were given cluster care, including swallowing assessment, safe eating guide, swallowing rehabilitation, the establishment of cluster prevention strategy and health education to patients and caregivers. Patients in the control group were given conventional nursing care, and the score of swallowing function, the prevalence of aspiration pneumonia and nursing care satisfactory level in both groups were assessed before and after the intervention. Results: The swallowing functionÂ of patients in the two groups were improved after intervention, but patients in the experimental group showed significantly higher improvement than the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of aspiration pneumonia was significantly lower in the experimental group compared to the control group (P<0.05). Moreover, the satisfactory level of nursing management was higher in the experimental group than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Cluster nursing (CN)Â practice has significantly improved the swallowing function of stroke patients with dysphagia, reduced the incidence of aspiration pneumonia and enhanced the satisfaction of nursing care.
Eskigedik-Kızılçayır (Ovacık-Tunceli) Kromit Oluşumlarının Jeolojik Özellikleri ve Yer Radarı Yöntemiyle Cevherli Alanların Belirlenmesi
Authors: ÖZTÜFEKÇİ ÖNAL Ayten , ŞEREN Aysel
Published: July 2018

Bu çalışma
kapsamında, Eskigedik-Kızılçayır kromit cevherlerinin mineralojik, petrografik
ve jeokimyasal özellikleri ortaya çıkarılmış ve derinde bulunan kromit kütlelerinin
konumları yer radarı (GPR) yöntemi ile belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Kromit
işletmesinin bulunduğu alanda üst Kretase yaşlı ofiyolitik kayaçlar bulunmaktadır.
Cevherin yan kayacı oldukça altere olmuş hazburjit ve dünitdir. Kromit
kütleleri küçük mercek ve yığınlar şeklinde, tamamen serpantinleşmiş dünitler
içerisinde bulunmaktadır. Cevherin dokusu esas olarak masif ve saçınımlı, bazan
da nodülerdir. Gang mineralini çubuksu serpantinler oluşturmaktadır. Kromit tanelerinin
büyüklükleri oldukça değişken (2-30 mm) olup, çok kırıklı ve milonitleşmiştir ve
kırıklar serpantin dolguludur. Kromit ve içerisinde yer aldığı kayaçların
jeokimyası, Türkiye’deki düşük tenörlü podiform kromitler ile benzerdir. Ortalama
Cr2O3, Al2O3 ve Fe2O3
içerikleri sırasıyla %16, %14 ve %12 olup, yüksek-aluminyum kromitlerdir. Daha
çok Co, Ni ve V gibi iz elementlerce zenginleşmiştir. Jeokimyasal veriler, bu
kromitlerin okyanusal yay ardı havzada, dalma-batma ile modifiye edilmiş bir
manto kaynağından türediğine işaret etmektedir.

Açık işletme
alanında yüzeylenmemiş cevheri belirlemek için, 
şev basamakları ve ocak içi düzlüklerde, 83 hat boyunca 100 MHz anten
ile GPR ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Birinci kazı alanında ölçümler sorunsuz olarak
gerçekleştirilmiştir, ancak ikinci kazı alanındaki zeminin ıslak olması GPR
çalışmalarını sınırlandırmıştır. Ölçümlerden elde edilen ham verilere veri
işlem teknikleri uygulanarak yeraltı kesitleri elde edilmiştir. Krom cevheri
fiziksel özellikleri nedeniyle önemli jeofizik belirti verdiği için, ölçümlerde
yan kayaçlardan daha yüksek yansımaya sahip alanlar kromitli alanlar olarak
kabul edilmiştir. Açık işletme alanındaki şev basamaklarında,  yüksek yansıma yüzeyleri, sadece birkaç hat
boyunca ve farklı derinliklerde gözlenmiştir. Buna karşın, ocak içi alt ve üst düzlüklerde
yaklaşık 10m derinde yüksek yansıtıcı yüzeylerin varlığı, birçok hat boyunca belirlenmiştir.
Ocak içi alt düzlükte, öncelikle ikinci paralel hat boyunca 10-20 m arasındaki
derinlikte belirlenen yüksek yansımalı düzeylerde kromitin var olup olmadığının
kazı yapılarak doğrulanması gerekmektedir. Kromit varlığı belirlendikten sonra,
kazılar öncelikle bu alanda ve açık ocağın üst düzlüğünde yapılmalıdır.
