Relationships between Risk Attitude, Academic Performance, and the Likelihood of Drop-outs
Authors: Kochergina Ekaterina , Prakhov Ilya
Published: December 2016

Regression analysis is used to explore the relationship between students’ risk attitudes and academic performance indicators: current academic achievement and the likelihood of dropping out. Using empirical data on students of a highly selective Russian university, we reveal a considerable positive correlation between risk acceptance and the likelihood of being expelled. We believe that conventional student integration and drop-out models could also consider such individual student characteristic as risk attitude. Normally, it did not use to be regarded as a factor influencing the likelihood of student departure. Risk attitude as an individual student characteristic can be involved in the process of academic integration, affecting its progress. More risk-averse students remain underintegrated in the academic environment, which is fraught with dropping out.

¿Cuánto perdemos en las intervenciones urbanas? Homogeneización, análisis y cuantificación de la documentación arqueológica de Guadix (Granada)
Authors: Ramírez Burgos Mérida , Martín Civantos José Mª
Published: December 2016

El presente trabajo muestra el proceso metodológico llevado a cabo para lograr un acercamiento a la cuantificación de la información arqueológica, mediante la sistematización de los datos para su volcado en el Sistema de Información Patrimonial de Guadix (SIPAG). Se ha analizado la documentación de un total de 58 intervenciones arqueológicas urbanas llevadas a cabo desde el año 1986 hasta el 2009. Dentro de la información arqueológica encontramos diferentes tipos de datos gráficos y alfanuméricos, como planimetrías, fotografías, croquis, memorias de excavación, libros diarios o fichas de registro. La disponibilidad de estos tipos de datos es esencial para la recuperación, homogeneización y sistematización de la información, así como para la investigación, gestión y difusión del patrimonio arqueológico de un lugar. Muchas de esas intervenciones presentan una considerable falta de información, ya sea por disponibilidad o por inexistencia, lo que complica la recuperación y conocimiento de los restos. Por ello hemos creado una metodología que nos ayude a cuantificar la pérdida de información arqueológica de forma individualizada para cada intervención y de forma general respecto al yacimiento, estableciendo posteriormente niveles de aplicabilidad a la investigación, a la gestión y a la difusión.

Visión purista y visión evolutiva: Dos maneras de concebir el graffiti y el arte urbano / Purist vision and evolutionary vision: Two ways of understanding the graffiti and urban art
Authors: Couvreux Alijarte Nicolás
Published: December 2016

Este texto tiene el propósito de realizar una aproximación a dos maneras diferentes de concebir el graffiti y el arte urbano en el ámbito teórico. En la actualidad nos encontramos con la opinión de unos especialistas que estudian el graffiti y el arte urbano por separado, entendiendo que son dos juegos esencialmente diferentes, que tienen raíces culturales diferentes, practicantes diferentes y públicos diferentes; mientras que desde la opinión de otros especialistas el graffiti y el arte urbano son parte de un mismo fenómeno que ha evolucionado a través de un complejo proceso desde el grafiti infantil, el grafiti de las pandillas, el writing, el graffiti, el postgraffiti, el street art o el arte urbano. Por ello es necesario acuñar términos para diferenciar estas dos visiones, facilitar su estudio y prevenir fricciones o conflictos a nivel práctico y teórico.En este sentido se denomina “visión purista” a aquella que considera que ambos fenómenos son esencialmente diferentes y “visión evolutiva” a aquella que considera que ambos fenómenos están estrechamente vinculados a través de un proceso evolutivo.Purist vision and evolutionary vision: Two ways of understanding the graffiti and urban art.This text is intended to make an approach to two different ways of conceiving the graffiti and street art in the theoretical realm. Today we find the opinion of some experts who study the graffiti and street art separately, understanding that there are two essentially different games, which have different cultural backgrounds and different public; while from the opinion of other specialists of graffiti and street art are part of the same phenomenon that has evolved through a complex process from child grafiti, gang grafiti, the writing, graffiti, postgraffiti , street art or urban art. It is therefore necessary to coin terms to differentiate these two visions, facilitate their study and prevent frictions or conflicts practical and theoretical level. In this sense it is called “purist vision” to one that considers both phenomena are essentially different and “evolutionary vision” to one that considers the two phenomena are closely linked through an evolutionary process.
Cultural Traits as Defining Elements of Minority Groups
Authors: Ruiz Vieytez Eduardo J.
Published: December 2016

Integration policies are intended to have the dual aim of providing immigrants with the means to function in the society where they live and develop their potential, while preserving their cultural and ethnic identity, and familiarising the non-immigrant population with the rights of immigrants, their culture, traditions and needs. Integration also appears in documents specifically directed at the protection of traditional national minorities. This paper looks to identify the main cultural traits that define minorities in the institutional language and that are relevant for these integration policies. Language and religion emerge as a widely recognised identity factors in this respect. Other possible cultural identity factors gather around the idea of ethnicity, being more difficult to determine.
Islamism, Secularism and the Woman Question in the Aftermath of the Arab Spring: Evidence from the Arab Barometer
Authors: Fox Ashley M. , Alzwawi Sana Abdelkarim , Refki Dina
Published: December 2016

The uprisings that led to regime change during the early period of the Arab Spring were initially inclusive and pluralistic in nature, with men and women from every political and religious orientation engaging actively in political activities on the street and in virtual spaces. While there was an opening of political space for women and the inclusion of demands of marginalized groups in the activists’ agenda, the struggle to reimagine national identities that balance Islamic roots and secular yearnings is still ongoing in many countries in the region. This paper seeks to deepen understanding of the extent to which the pluralistic sentiments and openness to accepting the rights women have persisted following the uprising. We aim to examine changes in attitudes towards women’s equality in countries that underwent regime change through popular uprisings during revolutionary upheavals of the Arab Spring and in countries where regimes have remained unchanged. Using available data from consecutive rounds of the Arab Barometer survey, we examine changes in attitudes in nine countries with two rounds of Arab Barometer during and post Arab Spring (Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon, Sudan, Jordan, Iraq, Palestine). We find that support for “Muslim feminism” (an interpretation of gender equality grounded in Islam) has increased over the period and particularly in Arab Spring countries, while support for “secular feminism” has declined. In most countries examined, relatively high degrees of support for gender equality co-exist with a preference for Islamic interpretations of personal status codes pertaining to women. We discuss the implications of these findings for academics and activists concerned with women’s rights in the Middle East North Africa (MENA).
Speleocomplexes of natural karst caves
Authors: Pylypiuk A.
Published: December 2016

The paper is devoted to the definition of “speleocomplex” and its interpretation and place in natural karst caves. The limits of the territories on the earth’s surface and deep in the bowels of the earth are substantiated. A proposed name for such spatial units is speleotopes. Taking into consideration that a lot of caves have a long length within one layer of karst rocks, complicated genesis, different morphology, and unique secondary sediments the author identified next types of speleotopes: morphological speleotopes – elementary surfaces of the topography of caves; litospeleotopes – areas homogeneous in secondary sediments; climatological speleotopes – galleries or their parts with homogeneous microclimate; phitospeleotopes – areas homogeneous in phitocenosis; zoospeleotopes – areas with regular concentration of troglophiles or with signs of their activities. The complex of the speleotopes can form speleochore.
Author focus attention on the self-restoration of the underground spatial subsystems and its speed. Karst landscapes on the surface have a quicker energy exchange in comparison to underground landscapes. Therefore, the author argues that caves landscapes should have the higher level of protection and reservation.
Main types of the use of the caves landscapes are described in the paper, among them mining, recreational, speleological and scientific. According to the level of changes author identified such types of speleological complexes: unchanged (natural) – speleological complexes of the underground cavities that are unknown or untouched by human beings; slightly changed – anthropogenic activity is present but natural processes are unchanged; changed speleocomplexes (highly changed) – with a long-lasting anthropogenic footprint; transformed (cultural) – with a regular anthropogenic load and steadily degrading.
The necessity of the allotment of elementary spatial units in underground speleological karst subsystem is highlighted. Concepts and terminology for speleological complexes of natural karst cavities that experienced anthropogenic transformations are defined – anthropogenic penetration and changes due to engineering. The paper also presents examples of anthropogenic speleological landscapes in Ukrainian caves. The author shows main directions for the optimization works (revitalization) of the transformed speleological complexes. Causes of the degradation of speleological complexes and ways of rational speleological management are also described.

Recently the number of materials and goods produced by nanotechnology has been growing rapidly, leading to an increased penetration of nanoparticles into biosystems. To assess the risks associated with the production and circulation of nanoproducts should be developed methods for the rapid diagnostics of nanopathology. In this work, it has been experimentally shown that the introduction of metal oxides nanoparticles (TiO2, ZnO, Al2O3, CeO2) to laboratory mice leads to changes some profiles of specific hematological and biochemical blood parameters. Therefore for the purpose of early detection of symptoms of intoxication as benchmarks of the influence of metal oxide nanoparticles on living organisms can recommend express monitoring of peripheral blood (red blood parameters) and biochemical parameters of blood serum (activity of aminotransferases and indicators of nitrogen metabolism). The chosen indicators of blood can serve as diagnostic biomarkers in the development of rapid tests of primary monitoring of the impact of metal oxide nanoparticles on biological systems.

Authors: Lyubimov Abdrei V. , Shabanov Petr D.
Published: December 2016

The review is devoted to the questions of improvement of the efficacy of myocardial infarction treatment by means of pharmacological drugs possessing pre- or postconditioning effect. The proofs of clinical efficacy of reperfusional therapy of the myocardial infarction are observed using examples of adenosine, activators of KATP channels (diazoxide and nicorandil), opiates (fentanyl, morphine) and some other drugs. The data are analyzed from the point of modern view of molecular mechanisms of hypoxia, the findings of objective laboratory and instrumental control in therapy of myocardial infarction in differend known clinical trials. It is concluded that pharmacological preconditioning is perspective approach in therapy of the acute myocardial infarction both in animal models and in humans.

In an experimental model of respiratory failure induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of 1 LD50 of paraquat (24 mg/kg) the changes of physical activity tolerance, respiratory function parameters were studied and histomorphologic validation of experimental results was confirmed. In a model of respiratory failure the assessment of analgesic activity and toxicity of fentanyl, dexmedetomidine and their combination was made and compared with intact animals. The integral tolerance rates (therapeutic action width) were also estimated. It was shown that on the background of pulmonary pathology for each of the drugs 13-28% decrease of average lethal doses was observed. At the same time when administered in combination an average effective dose of the drugs wasn’t changed in contrast with single-drug analgesia.
Aportaciones y notas sobre la difusión de la épica animalesca en manuscritos de la Batracomiomaquia hasta el siglo XVI
Authors: Torné Teixidó Ramón
Published: December 2016

La difusión de la épica animalesca representada por la Batracomiomaquia se puede estudiar a partir de la
proliferación de manuscritos en los que el poema aparece copiado junto a las fábulas esópicas y buena
parte del corpus escolar al uso. Estos códices contienen ricos y variados escolios (algunos incluso en latín)
que constituían una ayuda al lector no siempre avezado a la lengua griega. Los datos nos confirman
la suposición de que el poema entraba en el canon de lectura del que se nutrían hombres cultos, literatos
y personajes de la corte ya en el Prerrenacimiento. Fue a partir de ahí que nuestro poema reforzaría su
significado político que había de perdurar dos siglos más.

palabras clave: Batracomiomaquia, manuscritos, tradición clásica, Prerrenacimiento, Alfonso de Palencia.

The spreading of epic with animals represented by the Batrachomyomachia can be studied from the proliferation
of manuscripts where the poem appears alongside Aesopic fables and much of the corpus at
use in schools. These manuscripts also contain rich and assorted scholia (some of them in Latin) to help
the reader not connoisseur of Ancient Greek. The data confirms us in the assumption that the poem
was a part of the canon of readings for educated men, writers and members of the court in the Pre-
Renaissance. It was from there that our poem would reinforce its political significance at least for two
more centuries.

Published: December 2016

O presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar o uso do medicamento Metilfenidato em crianças diagnosticadas com Transtorno do Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH), residentes no município de Nova Aurora, Paraná, Brasil. Para tanto, 26 crianças com a patologia foram selecionadas aleatoriamente, e seus dados foram obtidos por questionário pré-elaborado, aplicado aos pais ou responsáveis e aos professores. A maioria (17/65,4%) foi diagnosticada na faixa etária entre 6-8 anos e pertencia ao sexo masculino (22/84,6%). Os principais sinais e sintomas relatados foram: agitação (23/88,5%) e diminuição da concentração (12/46,2%). Em 16 (64,0%) crianças, verificou o aumento da atenção e diminuição da agitação com o uso do Metilfenidato, no entanto, somente 65,4% dos pais ou responsáveis relataram conhecimento do tratamento. Verificou-se que 10 (40,0%) e 8 (32,0%) das crianças apresentaram perda de apetite e dores de cabeça/episódios de ansiedade como principais efeitos colaterais do medicamento, respectivamente e 8 (32,0%) crianças não apresentaram nenhum efeito colateral. Assim, o uso de Metilfenidato em crianças na região estudada, melhorou a relação interpessoal, aumentou a concentração e diminuiu a agressividade, demonstrando a importância do uso do medicamento em crianças com TDAH. Contudo, efeitos colaterais ainda são relatados com o uso da terapia.

LACERAÇÃO DE TRAQUEIA EM UM CÃO: RELATO DE CASO
Authors: ALVES José Edgard De Oliveira , CALABREZ Larissa Pim , MENASSA Dévanny Weller Ferreira
Published: December 2016

As lesões traqueais, apesar de incomuns em animais de companhia, merecem atenção especial na clínica de pequenos animais, uma vez que, de acordo com a gravidade, podem causar risco iminente de morte aos pacientes acometidos. Estas lesões podem ocorrer por mecanismos contusos ou penetrantes, sendo mais frequentemente associadas a lacerações decorrentes de mordeduras, projéteis, variados tipos de trauma e, inclusive, de forma iatrogênica. O tratamento pode ser conservador ou cirúrgico, sendo a escolha entre eles dependente da apresentação clínica do paciente, como a ocorrência de comorbidades e estabilidade ventilatória frente à laceração da via aérea. O presente artigo relata o caso de uma cadela diagnosticada com laceração traqueal decorrente de mordedura de outro cão, submetida ao tratamento conservador com sucesso terapêutico. Conclui-se que um exame clínico minucioso no acompanhamento da evolução do quadro pode ser utilizado como critério confiável para a decisão quanto à conduta conservadora ou cirúrgica, e que o tratamento expectante é satisfatório para pacientes que não apresentem alterações respiratórias.
Turismo de bienestar en la región Bogotá - Cundinamarca: configuraciones del turismo termal más allá del balneario
Authors: Duarte Garzón Omar Eutimio , Duarte Bajaña Sonia
Published: December 2016

El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar de qué manera los municipios que tienen como parte de sus recursos hídricos aguas termales –y que se han enfocado en ellas para la promoción turística de su territorio– deben configurar su mirada hacia un nuevo producto turístico que incluya diversas actividades relacionadas con el turismo termal o termalismo, enmarcadas en el turismo de bienestar. Se propone dicho objetivo porque resulta fundamental entender que tras las aguas termales subyace un sinfín de actividades relacionadas que van más allá de la simple actividad recreativa que se oferta actualmente en los municipios de la región en los equivocadamente llamados balnearios.Para pasar de las actividades convencionales que se desarrollan en la región a partir del turismo termal a un nuevo producto turístico que sea abarcado por el turismo de bienestar y toda su diversidad, se propone como aporte al sector una matriz que permite identificar las oportunidades del turismo de bienestar en la región Bogotá (Cundinamarca): “M. O. T. B. R.”, que caracteriza los recursos disponibles del territorio y busca posibilitar su desarrollo.Esta matriz se elabora como metodología para identificar los municipios que tienen oportunidades para el turismo de bienestar -se han identificado 19- y su clasificación se realiza de acuerdo con su desarrollo e inclusión de factores endógenos y exógenos, tal como se presentará más adelante.
DIO: um jogo em dispositivos móveis para mapear câmeras de vigilância | DIO: a mobile game to map surveillance cameras
Authors: Evangelista Rafael De Almeida , Soares Tiago , Schimidt Sarah Costa , Lavignatti Felipe
Published: December 2016

RESUMO Na sociedade contemporânea, as câmeras de vigilância são tecnologias de uso rápido e crescente. As razões dadas para essa proliferação estão principalmente relacionadas a preocupações com segurança. Nos países pobres, a ênfase está no controle da criminalidade urbana. Nos países ricos, elas são justificadas também pela ameaça do terrorismo. DIO é um jogo para celulares, ainda em desenvolvimento, que tematiza a proliferação das câmeras em áreas urbanas, promovendo um mapeamento colaborativo de sua localização geográfica. Os jogadores escolhem uma de duas equipes a quem se associam e desenvolvem as seguintes tarefas: 1) geolocalizar e fotografar câmeras de vigilância distribuídas pelas ruas; 2) competem com o outro time pelo controle das câmeras. As câmeras cadastradas então se transformam em pontos geolocalizados com os quais os jogadores interagem, com as câmeras sendo “capturadas” quando o jogador está fisicamente próximo a elas. Este artigo apresenta o enredo básico do jogo, suas regras e sua dinâmica. Também discute o uso econômico de dados pessoais, sua importância prevista no mercado mundial no futuro próximo e como tematizar essa questão fazendo uso de gameficação.Palavras-chave: Vigilância; Privacidade; Gameficação; Dados Pessoais; Economia Digital. ABSTRACT Surveillance cameras are technologies with fast, growing use in today's society. Their use is usually for security reasons. In poorer countries, the emphasis is on curbing urban crime; in richer nations, it is the threat posed by terrorism. DIO is a game for mobile phones, still in development, which thematizes the rampant proliferation of cameras in urban areas, promoting a collaborative mapping of their geographic location. Players choose which group they will join and have the following tasks: 1) geolocate and photograph surveillance cameras scattered around the city; 2) compete with the other team for control of the cameras. Registered cameras will then be transformed into geolocated points with which the player interacts, with cameras being “taken” when the player is physically close to them. This article presents the basic plot of the game, its rules and dynamics. It also discusses the economic uses of personal data, its growing role in the market in the near future and how to thematize this issue through gamification.Keywords: Surveillance; Privacy; Gamification; Personal Data; Digital Economy.

Authors: Herculano Harlan Azevedo , Chiarello Tânia Cristina
Published: December 2016

Este estudo buscou investigar o impacto da assimetria de informação na relação entre participação e folga orçamentária. Discorre-se sobre evidências sobre as características da utilização do orçamento na gestão de universidades públicas, com vista a minimizar os conflitos sobre a eficácia do planejamento, as razões do uso do orçamento e a participação no orçamento. Assim, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa descritiva, por meio de um estudo de campo com abordagem quantitativa, em uma IES pública municipal do Estado de Santa Catarina. Foram enviados questionários para os responsáveis dos setores e unidades do processo de orçamentação, obtendo-se 63 respostas. Os resultados obtidos indicam que o uso do orçamento na instituição pública está concentrado na reitoria e coordenadoria de gestão, o que demonstrou alta assimetria da informação entre os servidores e a gestão, já que os mesmos não participam do orçamento com frequência. O estudo aponta que há relação entre a participação dos subordinados no orçamento e folga orçamentária. Observou-se também, que não existe relação estatística entre a assimetria de informação tanto com a participação como na folga orçamentária.

Aim: To identify the most frequent clinical signs and symptoms of CD at the time of diagnosis, to assess an association between clinical manifestations of hypercorticism and main clinical and laboratory parameters.

Materials and methods: We examined 44 CD patients registered in the database of CD patients of the Moscow Regional Research and Clinical Institute (MONIKI).

Results: The mean age of patients was 37.9±10.5 years, with most of them (68.2%) being in the age range of 30 to 50 years. The median of disease duration was 35.5 [22; 75] months. Facial plethora, which is the most characteristic sign of hypercorticism, was seen in 97.7% of patients. Striae, thought to be most often associated with hypercorticism, were found only in 38.6% of patients. The most frequent complaints (> 80%) were weight gain, fatigue, headache, and menstrual dysfunction. Some of the symptoms showed a positive correlation with cortisol levels.

Conclusion: Clinical manifestations of CD are mostly non-specific. Only facial plethora was highly prevalent of all typical symptoms of hypercorticism. At least one of the "specific" symptoms was found in all patients.
Hypoparathyroidism: etiology, clinical manifestation, current diagnostics and treatment

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is the main regulator of calcium and phosphorus metabolism. PTH deficiency or tissue resistance to its effects results in hypoparathyroidism characterized by low serum calcium and elevated serum phosphate levels. The most common is post-operative hypoparathyroidism caused by an inadvertent damage or removal of the parathyroid glands, deterioration of blood supply to the neck region, most often during thyroid surgery. The second common form of the disease is the autoimmune one related with immune destruction of parathyroid cells. Less frequent causes of hypoparathyroidism include a variety of genetic syndromes, mitochondrial genome defects, and hypomagnesemia. The main signs and symptoms of hypoparathyroidism are related to hypocalcaemia and hyperphosphatemia land result in increased neuromuscular irritability and general autonomic reactivity, with finger and toe tingling, muscle cramps, tonic seizures, laryngo- and bronchospasm, and neurosis. These symptoms are closely associated with serum calcium levels; their severity depends on the degree of hypocalcaemia. Laboratory parameters confirming the diagnosis of hypoparathyroidism are hypocalcaemia, hyperphosphatemia, and reduced serum PTH. Treatment of hypoparathyroidism involves management of hypocalcaemic crisis and maintenance therapy. Acute hypocalcaemia, a  potentially life-threatening condition, is treated as an emergency with intravenous calcium combined with oral calcium and active vitamin D. Standard chronic treatment for hypoparathyroidism is based on oral calcium and active metabolites of vitamin  D / vitamin  D analogs and is aimed at the balance between optimal low-normal serum calcium concentrations and normocalciuria. Worsening hypercalciuria is often underestimated by specialists, although it can cause severe renal problems, such as nephrocalcinosis and neprolithiasis. Hypoparathyroidism is one of the few endocrine deficiencies for which replacement treatment with recombinant PTH is not widely used. Replacement therapy with recombinant human PTH is a  promising area, especially in severe clinical cases, refractory to conventional treatment.

A presente pesquisa caracteriza-se por um estudo empírico, de abordagem quali-quantitativa, na área da Psicologia. Tem por objetivos elucidar os fatores que motivaram a escolha do curso superior de um grupo de jovens paulistas, bem como identificar suas percepções a respeito da satisfação pessoal depois de formados e ingressos no mercado de trabalho. Os participantes foram 27 egressos do curso de Engenharias da Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Para a coleta de dados foram utilizados um questionário autoral e o Levantamento de Inclinações Profissionais, elaborado por Schein (1996). A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio eletrônico e os instrumentos foram  disponibilizados em ambiente web restrito no google.docs. As referências de análise incluem a ciência Ontopsicológica que elucida a visão do homem  protagonista  responsável, baseado em uma virtualidade capaz de atuação pessoal no ser, que lhe permite se auto constituir. Constata-se coerência entre as manifestações de satisfação com a escolha da formação acadêmica e profissional após formados e com a  instituição acadêmica frequentada.
A natureza na physis em Hadot e na Ontopsicologia com Vidor
Authors: Weber Claudiane
Published: December 2016

Este trabalho visa apresentar o conceito da história da ideia de natureza, pelo enfoque da obra “O Véu de Ísis” de Pierre Hadot. Em contra partida, para essa análise, o conceito de natureza, em como é entendido na Ciência Ontopsicológica com Alécio Vidor[1]. Entende-se que a visão integral do ser humano não pode prescindir de uma visão da natureza, do qual é partícipe e constituinte. Talvez assim se possa resgatar à interioridade (sem, contudo, esquecer o mundo circundante) como princípio único do humano e do universo, em continuidade.[1] Agradeço ao Prof. Alécio pela revisão crítica deste texto, embora algumas de suas palavras tenham sido conselhos para a vida, incluída a de pesquisadora que se inicia, e aplicáveis não somente ao texto.
The Practice of Service Quality: Hotel Case
Authors: Yurtseven Gülten , Muluk Zehra
Published: December 2016

The service sector differs from the goods sector with its own characteristics. The service quality has an abstract structure since the services include abstract qualities. Therefore "perceived service quality" term is used instead of the quality of service. Perceived service quality is the perception difference as a result of evaluation process in which the expectations of consumer about performance of service before use and the real service experience after use. Perceived service quality should meet or exceed the expectations of consumer to be considered as satisfactory. The satisfaction from service increases as the service quality increases and thus the demand of consumer to reuse the service increases. That is to say, ensuring the consumer satisfaction in the hotel administration has an important role for consumers to prefer the same enterprise and the enterprise ensuring the consumer satisfaction has a great advantage in competition or keeps itself out of the price competition by increasing its service quality in this sector including significant demand fluctuations. Thus, enterprises ensure the increased efficiency, reduced costs and continuous employment of personnel in the enterprise.

Adolescence is a period when the intellectual, physical, social, emotional and all the capabilities are very high, but, unfortunately, most of the adolescents are unable to utilize their potential to maximum due to various reasons.  They face many emerging issues such as global warming, famines, poverty, suicide, population explosion as well as other issues like alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse, smoking, juvenile delinquency, anti-social acts, etc. that have an adverse effect on them and others too, to a large extent. The cut-throat competition, unemployment, lack of job security, etc. are some of the major concerns for the educated and as a result, they are caught in the mad race.  This new challenge requires immediate and effective responses from a socially responsible system of education. ‘Education’ is important, but education to support and live life better is more important. It has been felt that life skills education bridges the gap between basic functioning and capabilities. It strengthens the ability of an individual to meet the needs and demands of the present society and helps in dealing with the above issues in a manner to get desired behavior practical. Imparting life skill training through inculcating life skill education will help youth to overcome such difficulties in life. The present paper focuses on the importance of life skills education and the benefits of imparting life skill education in our curriculum i.e. developing social, emotional & thinking skills in students, as they are the important building blocks for a dynamic citizen, who can cope up with future challenges, and survive well.

This study explored student abilities in applying conceptual knowledge when presented with structured performance tasks. Specifically, the study gauged proficiency in higher-order applications of students enrolled in earth and environmental science or biology. The student sample was drawn from a Redesigned STEM high school model where a tested performance assessment protocol was employed for the purposes of the investigation. It was determined that performance-based proficiency was not uniform within tasks and applications, but could be recognized through student artifacts of learning on a situational basis. Based on the findings of the study, several implications are highlighted.
IDEA At Age Forty: Weathering Common Core Standards And Data Driven Decision Making
Authors: Bicehouse Vaughn , Faieta Jean
Published: December 2016

Special education, a discipline that aims to provide specialized instruction to meet the unique needs of each child with a disability, has turned 40 years old in the United States. Ever since the passage of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (P.L. 94-142) in 1975, every state has been directed to provide a free and appropriate education for all students with disabilities (Gallagher, 2000; Rothstein, 1995). The focus of this paper is to revisit the foundations of the special education movement in the United States to show how special education has progressed since 1975. The current Race to the Top movement impacts school districts across the nation, creating great concern about what this means for students with disabilities and how it affects their struggle to succeed within the public school domain. In fact, after 40 years, (P.L. 94-142) known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, IDEA, is the current high stakes standards and assessment climate taking the “special” out of special education?
A Foundation For Understanding Knowledge Sharing: Organizational Culture, Informal Workplace Learning, Performance Support, And Knowledge Management
Authors: Caruso Shirley J.
Published: December 2016

This paper serves as an exploration into some of the ways in which organizations can promote, capture, share, and manage the valuable knowledge of their employees. The problem is that employees typically do not share valuable information, skills, or expertise with other employees or with the entire organization. The author uses research as well as her graduate studies in the field of Human Resource Development (HRD) and professional career experiences as an instructor and training and development consultant to make a correlation between the informal workplace learning experiences that exist in the workplace and the need to promote, capture, and support them so they can be shared throughout the organization. This process, referred to as knowledge sharing, is the exchange of information, skills, or expertise among employees of an organization that forms a valuable intangible asset and is dependent upon an organization culture that includes knowledge sharing, especially the sharing of the knowledge and skills that are acquired through informal workplace learning; performance support to promote informal workplace learning; and knowledge management to transform valuable informal workplace learning into knowledge that is promoted, captured, and shared throughout the organization.
