Chapitre 2. Une approche sociologique du soin comme travail relationnel
Authors: Rothier Bautzer Éliane
Published: April 2016

L’article s’appuie sur une recherche sociologique sur la formation des infirmières françaises, réalisée au cours de la première décennie 2000. L’auteure montre la mutation d’un modèle de travail et de formation des professionnels de santé. Le modèle traditionnellement centré sur les dimensions curatives ( cure ) évolue vers une organisation qui requiert d’articuler les dimensions care/cure . Elle relève le rôle de la montée en puissance de la valeur d’autonomie dans cette transformation d’autant plus difficile, qu’elle se voit contrariée par des défenses corporatives de l’ensemble des acteurs établis, jusqu’ici peu contrés, en France, par l’action des pouvoirs publics. L’article utilise ce cadre d’analyse pour étudier l’émergence de l’articulation care/remédiation, care/travail social, dans le cas de ces autres professions consultantes, tournées vers le service d’autrui, que sont l’enseignement et le travail social, notamment lorsqu’ils s’exercent dans la durée, auprès de publics en difficulté. Ici aussi, la place première de la valeur d’autonomie rend indispensable l’articulation entre enseignement et care , travail social et care . L’intégration des pratiques de care dans la durée est rendue nécessaire par le lien autonomie/durée/chronicité pour l’ensemble de ces activités. Leur dimension relationnelle demande à être développée et professionnalisée dans son articulation avec la dimension jusqu’ici structurante du secteur (la connaissance biomédicale pour le sanitaire). Un cadre sociologique, au croisement des théories du care qui intègrent sollicitude et soin (Tronto, 2009), des courants de l’action située (Goffman, 1991, Suchman, 1987) et de la sociologie interactionniste des professions (Freidson, 1984, Abbott, 2003), permet de produire des connaissances sur les mutations qui affectent ces activités et sur leurs incidences sur les modèles de formation qui leur sont associés.

Published: April 2016

Cet article présente le « Modèle de Montréal » , offre au patient, s’il le souhaite , de devenir patient partenaire pour l’ensemble des décisions qui le concernent. Nous assistons actuellement à des transformations majeures de nos sociétés occidentales. Les maladies chroniques touchent une proportion grandissante de la population, induisant une transition de la prépondérance de soins aigus à une prépondérance de soins chroniques. D’autres facteurs sociétaux tels que le consumérisme, l’individualisme, la démocratisation de l’information médicale (accélérée par l’avènement d’Internet) et la précarisation d’une partie grandissante des citoyens influencent cette évolution. Dans ce contexte, où la nature et l’envergure des besoins des patients et de leurs proches se modifient comme leurs attentes vis-à-vis des systèmes de santé. Une des voies prometteuses pour répondre à ces enjeux réside dans une participation accrue des patients dans leurs propres soins. Depuis 2010, un nouveau modèle relationnel, basé sur le partenariat de soins entre patients et professionnels de la santé, a été développé à partir de la faculté de Médecine de l’Université de Montréal. Ce modèle s’appuie sur la reconnaissance des savoirs expérientiels du patient en complémentarité des savoirs scientifiques des professionnels de la santé. Il s’inscrit dans un continuum d’engagement et de participation des patients qui peut s’appliquer dans l’ensemble des milieux. Qu’il s’agisse de relation s singulières ou collectives en interdisciplinarité . Ce modèle est actuellement au Québec en cours d’implantation tant dans la formation des professionnels de la santé en milieux de soins, que dans l’enseignement et dans la recherche.
Chapitre 5. Accompagner l’apprentissage de la collaboration interprofessionnelle : une nécessaire gouvernance réflexive du dispositif pédagogique
Authors: Aiguier Grégory , Poirette Sabine , Pélissier Marie-France
Published: April 2016

Une prise en charge globale des patients à l’hôpital nécessite une pratique collective du soin. La collaboration interprofessionnelle devient donc une problématique majeure pour les organisations du soin mais aussi pour les écoles de santé chargées de son enseignement. Ce texte questionne les pratiques pédagogiques susceptibles de favoriser une collaboration interprofessionnelle effective des acteurs du soin en situation. Une réflexion théorique conduira à considérer l’éducation à l’interprofessionnalité comme une démarche d’apprentissage collective des acteurs et des organisations. Par conséquent, cet apprentissage doit nécessairement être adossé à un projet interinstitutionnel (institutions du soin et de la formation) faisant de cet apprentissage une problématique commune et requérant une gouvernance réflexive. La présentation d’un projet interinstitutionnel d’apprentissage de la collaboration interprofessionnelle actuellement expérimenté dans le champ gériatrique permettra d’illustrer le propos. Il s’agira de présenter les activités d’intervention-éducative et de recherche-intervention assurées par un groupe d’acteurs (des soignants, des formateurs en santé et des chercheurs en éthique de la santé et en pédagogie) chargé d’en assurer le pilotage réflexif.
Le processus constituant et la Constitution tunisienne du 27 janvier 2014 : un modèle à suivre ?
Authors: Weichselbaum Geoffrey , Philippe Xavier
Published: April 2016

Saluée internationalement comme la première Constitution démocratique adoptée après les printemps arabes de 2011, la Constitution tunisienne du 27 janvier 2014 est incontestablement considérée comme un succès. L’euphorie qui a gagné l’Assemblée nationale constituante (ANC) le soir de son adoption le 26 janvier 2014 après un vote à une majorité de 92 %, a effacé les mois de controverses, critiques, débats polarisants et houleux qui ont marqué ses travaux et la société tunisienne pendant près de deux ans. Elle représente une avancée remarquable dans l’espace Nord-Africain.
La difficile ascension des femmes aux fonctions exécutives fédérales aux États-Unis
Authors: Vallet Élisabeth
Published: April 2016

Si les femmes sont présentes à Washington en nombre croissant, et ce dans les trois branches du gouvernement, cette tendance ne peut occulter le fait qu’elles demeurent encore très largement sous-représentées, particulièrement au sein de la branche exécutive fédérale. Ainsi, les hautes fonctions de la République américaine restent hors de portée des femmes, particulièrement lorsqu’elles touchent à la dimension régalienne de l’État, et donc a fortiori à la présidence. Ce travail de recherche analyse la permanence des représentations traditionnelles de genre, qui demeurent peu perméables à une vision alternative du pouvoir exécutif, et l’impact de ces dernières sur les élections présidentielles.
Le lobbying des suffragistes au Congrès (1913-1920)
Authors: Delahaye Claire
Published: April 2016

Cet article étudie l’influence du lobbying des suffragistes sur le Congrès fédéral entre 1913 et 1920. Il analyse la stratégie et les tactiques développées par les organisations suffragistes, méthodes qui ont inspiré d’autres groupes de pression après l’adoption en 1920 du 19 e amendement accordant le droit de vote aux femmes. Le lobbying des suffragistes s’est efforcé de donner de la visibilité à la cause et a mobilisé l’opinion publique américaine afin de faire pression sur les membres du Congrès.
Les systèmes nationaux de gouvernance
Authors: Brédart Xavier
Published: April 2016

L’objectif de cet article est double. Dans un premier temps, nous parcourons la littérature relative aux systèmes nationaux de gouvernance, afin de faire le point sur les différentes typologies existantes. Ces différentes théories exposées, nous procédons, dans un second temps, à une discussion relative à l’évolution des systèmes de gouvernance au niveau international. Notre revue de littérature nous amène à retenir une opposition entre deux grandes familles de modèles de gouvernance ainsi qu’un potentiel alignement vers le système anglo-saxon. Nos réflexions relatives à la question de l’évolution des modèles de gouvernance posent cependant la question de la cohérence des systèmes.
La diffusion de la logique compétence au sein des structures d’insertion : une analyse en termes d’étendue du découplage
Authors: Urasadettan Jennifer
Published: April 2016

L’objectif de cet article est de montrer dans quelle mesure la diffusion de la logique compétence se diffuse au sein des structures d’insertion, dans le cadre d’une territorialisation croissante de l’emploi. Cette diffusion peut donner lieu à un découplage, entendu comme un décrochage entre pratiques affichées et pratiques effectives. Ce découplage peut être plus ou moins étendu selon les structures et donner lieu à une typologie des découplages selon leur étendue au sein de l’organisation.
La start-up est morte, vive la start-up !
Authors: Vedel Benjamin , Law Florence , Gabarret Inès
Published: April 2016

L’objectif de notre recherche est de comprendre comment l’alternance de situations causales et effectuales peut contribuer à la survie des entreprises en création. Pour cela, nous avons étudié de manière longitudinale une entreprise créée par un entrepreneur novice durant les trois premières années de sa vie. Sur la base d’informations obtenues à partir de reportages, d’entretiens semi-directifs, ainsi que par l’analyse du blog de l’entrepreneur, notre étude met en évidence les situations durant lesquelles l’entrepreneur novice agit de manière causale et celles durant lesquelles la logique effectuale prend le dessus. Les résultats de la recherche confirment que l’entrepreneur novice a tendance à développer en priorité une logique causale. Toutefois, c’est le passage vers la logique effectuale qui a été déterminant pour la survie de l’entreprise. Il apparaît que ce passage n’est pas automatique et nécessite un déclencheur externe. Une structure d’accompagnement peut jouer ce rôle.

Security Education and Awareness for K-6 Going Mobile
Authors: Giannakas Filippos , Kambourakis Georgios , Papasalouros Andreas , Gritzalis Stefanos
Published: April 2016

Nowadays, due to widespread participation of elementary school children in cyberspace activities, basic cybersecurity education and awareness is deemed necessary. Within this context, knowledge acquisition in this timely and important field has greater chances to be more fruitful when the learner is properly motivated. Also, it is anticipated to be more joyful when knowledge is acquired in the form of a digital game-based activity. The paper at hand discusses the development of a novel mobile app called CyberAware, destined to cybersecurity education and awareness. At present, the game is designed for K-6 children in order to support either or both formal or informal learning. Additionally, due to its mobile characteristics, the game can be experienced as an outdoor or classroom activity. Finally, opposite to similar studies found in the literature so far, our attention is not solely drawn to game’s technological aspects but equally to the educational factor. This is achieved through the consideration and use of the ARCS motivational model already from the game’s design phase.

Introduction to Stochastic Computing using a Remote Lab with Reconfigurable Logic
Authors: Lobo Jorge
Published: April 2016

This short paper introduces the basic concepts of Stochastic Computing (SC), and presents additions to a remote lab with reconfigurable logic to allow testing SC circuits. Recently, SC has been revisited and evaluated as a possible way of performing approximate probabilistic computations for artificial perception systems. New modules allow the generation of pseudo-random numbers, given a seed key and using linear feedback shift registers, but also having true random number generation using ring oscillators and embedded PLLs. Stochastic computing allows a tradeoff between resource usage and precision, allowing very simple circuits to perform computations, at the expense of a longer integration time to have reasonable results. We provide the basic stochastic computing modules, so that any user can use them to build a stochastic computing circuit and go beyond software simulations, providing a remote hardware device to test real circuits at high clock speeds.

Published: April 2016

Analog and digital electronic subjects are part of the electronic engineer degree but its taught is not easy because they are founded in opposite methodologies. The electronic design in the digital field is centered in the use of microprocessor and FPGA based circuits using high level programing/configuring languages. The counterpart analog design is traditionally based in the use of elementary components associated with macroblocks such operational amplifiers in order to built-up the wanted mission circuit. Some few components, as the FPAA, are analogically configurable in a similar manner already used with the FPGA. However the use of this kind of components is not straightforward once is necessary acquire some concepts not taught in the traditionally analog electronic classes. The current work present an innovative remote lab to support teaching of the FPAAs.

Authors: Felgueiras Manuel Carlos , Macedo Jose , Fidalgo Andre , Petry C. , Alves Gustavo
Published: April 2016

Electronic teaching is a task that intents to also prepare the student to understand and design analog and digital circuits. However the design flow in those two arenas are quite opposite as result of very different development state and also are the design methodologies, being challenging for both teachers and students. In fact, the electronic design in the digital field is centered in the use of components based in two kind of circuits (microprocessor and FPGA) using a relatively high level programing/configuring languages. In an opposite way, the analog design is traditionally founded in the use of elementary components (e.g. resistors and capacitors) associated with macroblocks (e.g. operational amplifiers) in order to built-up the wanted mission circuit. However they have just a few analog programmable components, as the PSoC that is analogically configurable in a similar manner that the one already used in the digital domain. The use of this kind of components, however, is not straightforward being necessary to get some concepts traditionally not taught in the analog electronic classes. The training using PSoC are then indispensable to verify if the programed analog circuit corresponds to the intended one. The current work present an innovative remote lab to support teaching of the PSoC.

Le silence de la vulnérabilité en institution gériatrique
Authors: Leroux Martine
Published: April 2016

Cet article s’intéresse au vécu de la vulnérabilité chez les personnes âgées en institution gériatrique. Les expressions « rester sans voix » et « faire silence » rendent compte, du point de vue phénoménologique, de l’épreuve que constitue la découverte de soi comme être vulnérable, parce que vieux, et de l’installation du sentiment de vulnérabilité. Le recours à la notion d’ambiance permet d’envisager la tonalité des « présences » – traduction du terme Dasein que préconise Binswanger – et d’interroger les facteurs d’ambiance dans les trois dimensions qui se conjuguent dans le silence vécu : spatialité, temporalité et altérité. Ces facteurs propres à l’institution sont-ils susceptibles de « mettre au silence » les résidents ?
Freedom to move: Arctic caterpillar (Lepidoptera) growth rate increases with access to new willows (Salicaceae)
Authors: Greyson-Gaito Christopher J. , Barbour Matthew A. , Rodriguez-Cabal Mariano A. , Crutsinger Gregory M. , Henry Gregory H.R.
Published: April 2016

Movement between host plants during the growing season is a common behaviour among insect herbivores, although the mechanisms promoting these movements are poorly understood for many systems. Two possible reasons why insect herbivores relocate include compensating for host plant quantity and/or quality changes and the avoidance of natural enemies. The Arctic caterpillar (Gynaephora groenlandica(Wocke); Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) moves several metres each day, feeds on its patchily distributed host plant, Arctic willow (Salix arcticaPallas; Salicaceae), and has two main natural enemies, the parasitoidsExorista thulaWood (Diptera: Tachinidae) andHyposoter diechmanni(Nielsen) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae). We physically moved caterpillars between Arctic willows and restricted other caterpillar individuals each to a single willow throughout the active period of Arctic caterpillars. We found that growth rate, herbivory rate, and the proportion of available leaf fascicles eaten were higher for experimentally moved caterpillars. Parasitoid abundances were low and did not differ between experimentally moved and stationary caterpillars. Taken together, our study addresses the bottom–up and top–down controls on insect herbivore movement during the short duration of the growing season in the Arctic. Our results suggest that caterpillars are likely moving to new willow shrubs to access high quality resources.
Characterization of the Antigen Processing Machinery and Endogenous Peptide Presentation of a Bat MHC Class I Molecule

Published: April 2016

Bats are a major reservoir of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, including severe acute respiratory syndrome–like coronaviruses, henipaviruses, and Ebola virus. Although highly pathogenic to their spillover hosts, bats harbor these viruses, and a large number of other viruses, with little or no clinical signs of disease. How bats asymptomatically coexist with these viruses is unknown. In particular, little is known about bat adaptive immunity, and the presence of functional MHC molecules is mostly inferred from recently described genomes. In this study, we used an affinity purification/mass spectrometry approach to demonstrate that a bat MHC class I molecule, Ptal-N*01:01, binds antigenic peptides and associates with peptide-loading complex components. We identified several bat MHC class I–binding partners, including calnexin, calreticulin, protein disulfide isomerase A3, tapasin, TAP1, and TAP2. Additionally, endogenous peptide ligands isolated from Ptal-N*01:01 displayed a relatively broad length distribution and an unusual preference for a C-terminal proline residue. Finally, we demonstrate that this preference for C-terminal proline residues was observed in Hendra virus–derived peptides presented by Ptal-N*01:01 on the surface of infected cells. To our knowledge, this is the first study to identify endogenous and viral MHC class I ligands for any bat species and, as such, provides an important avenue for monitoring and development of vaccines against major bat-borne viruses both in the reservoir and spillover hosts. Additionally, it will provide a foundation to understand the role of adaptive immunity in bat antiviral responses.
Genetic Contribution to the Development of Radiographic Knee Osteoarthritis in a Population Presenting with Nonacute Knee Symptoms a Decade Earlier
Authors: Huέtink Kasper , van der Voort Paul , Bloem Johan L. , Nelissen Rob G. H. H. , Meulenbelt Ingrid
Published: April 2016

This study examined the contribution of the osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility genes ASPN, GDF5, DIO2, and the 7q22 region to the development of radiographic knee OA in patients with a mean age of 40.6 ± 7.9 years (standard deviation) and who suffered from nonacute knee complaints a decade earlier. Dose-response associations of four single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) in the susceptibility genes were determined by comparing 36 patients who showed the development of OA on radiographs (Kellgren and Lawrence score ≥1) with 88 patients having normal cartilage with no development of OA on radiographs. Multivariate logistic regression analysis including the variables such as age, gender, body mass index, and reported knee trauma was performed. A dose-response association of DIO2 SNP rs225014: odds ratio (OR) 2.3, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1–4.5 ( P = 0.019) and GDF5 SNP rs143383: OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.1–3.8 ( P = 0.031) was observed with knee OA development. The ASPN and 7q22 SNPs were not associated with OA development.
Case-Based Learning and its Application in Medical and Health-Care Fields: A Review of Worldwide Literature
Authors: McLean Susan F.
Published: April 2016

Introduction

Case-based learning (CBL) is a newer modality of teaching healthcare. In order to evaluate how CBL is currently used, a literature search and review was completed.

Methods

A literature search was completed using an OVID© database using PubMed as the data source, 1946-8/1/2015. Key words used were “Case-based learning” and “medical education”, and 360 articles were retrieved. Of these, 70 articles were selected to review for location, human health care related fields of study, number of students, topics, delivery methods, and student level.

Results

All major continents had studies on CBL. Education levels were 64% undergraduate and 34% graduate. Medicine was the most frequently represented field, with articles on nursing, occupational therapy, allied health, child development and dentistry. Mean number of students per study was 214 (7–3105). The top 3 most common methods of delivery were live presentation in 49%, followed by computer or web-based in 20% followed by mixed modalities in 19%. The top 3 outcome evaluations were: survey of participants, knowledge test, and test plus survey, with practice outcomes less frequent. Selected studies were reviewed in greater detail, highlighting advantages and disadvantages of CBL, comparisons to Problem-based learning, variety of fields in healthcare, variety in student experience, curriculum implementation, and finally impact on patient care.

Conclusions

CBL is a teaching tool used in a variety of medical fields using human cases to impart relevance and aid in connecting theory to practice. The impact of CBL can reach from simple knowledge gains to changing patient care outcomes.

Módulos de rigidez dinámicos de siete maderas mexicanas determinados por vibraciones en torsión
Authors: Sotomayor-Castellanos Javier R.
Published: April 2016

El módulo de rigidez de la madera es útil para el cálculo estructural y la elaboración de productos derivados de la misma. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar los módulos de rigidez en el plano longitudinal tangencial (GLT) de siete especies de maderas mexicanas (Enterolobium cyclocarpum, Tabebuia donnell-smithii, T. rosea, Swietenia humilis, Lysiloma acapulcensis, Cordia elaeagnoides y T. chrysantha), realizando pruebas de vibraciones en torsión. También se determinó la densidad, el contenido de humedad y la frecuencia natural de probetas de pequeñas dimensiones. Los valores del GLT de las siete especies fueron similares a los módulos propuestos en estudios ya realizados con maderas de densidad y contenido de humedad comparables. Los módulos de rigidez variaron entre 695 MPa (E. cyclocarpum) y 2,807 MPa (T. chrysantha). Los valores de cada especie oscilaron alrededor de la predicción lineal propuesta a través del modelo elástico de la madera. La densidad y la frecuencia natural de vibraciones en torsión son predictores del módulo de rigidez dinámico con coeficientes de determinación de 0.98 y 0.81, respectivamente.

Published: April 2016

Andricus quercuslaurinus Melika y Pujade-Villar (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) es una avispa agalladora de ramas (generación asexual) y hojas (generación sexual) del encino Quercus affinis Scheidw. en Acaxochitlán, Hidalgo, México. Las infestaciones severas en ramas causan retraso del crecimiento y, eventualmente, la mortalidad de árboles que tienen niveles altos de daño. En este trabajo se evaluó la efectividad de los insecticidas Imidacloprid, Espirotetramat, Acefato y Abamectina aplicados mediante aspersión foliar sobre la población de avispas adultas que ovipositan en las hojas, así como sobre los huevos y larvas en las agallas. El Acefato evitó la oviposición sobre el follaje tratado. El menor número de agallas se encontró en los árboles tratados con Acefato; además, no tuvieron larvas. Por otra parte, el Espirotetramat no había sido evaluado para el control de cinípidos y junto con el Imidacloprid fueron efectivos para reducir la supervivencia de huevos y larvas. La aspersión de los insecticidas Acefato (1.20 kg·ha-1), Espirotetramat (0.75 L·ha-1) e Imidacloprid (1.00 L·ha-1) al follaje de Q. affinis son opciones a considerar para el control de A. quercuslaurinus, debido a los efectos significativos (P = 0.05) en la mortalidad de huevos con respecto al testigo.

Published: April 2016

Michoacán es el quinto estado con mayor diversidad de especies vegetales, sobresaliendo por su riqueza en familias, géneros y especies de la flora arbórea en México. Por lo anterior, en este trabajo se evaluó la distribución potencial de 12 especies de Pinaceae en condiciones actuales y escenarios futuros de cambio climático, mediante modelos de nicho ecológico. Se utilizaron datos del clima actual, de escenarios futuros, de propiedades de suelos y el modelo digital de elevación como predictores ambientales. El modelado se realizó con el software Maxent, 75 % de los datos de presencia de las especies se utilizó para el entrenamiento de los modelos y el 25 % restante para su validación. Los grids de salida se clasificaron en tres categorías de áreas para la distribución de las especies: no idónea, marginal e idónea. Los modelos muestran que habrá una disminución de 16 y 40 % de áreas idóneas en los horizontes 2015-2039 y 2075-2099, respectivamente. Las especies más afectadas en la reducción de su distribución serán Abies religiosa, Pinus leiophylla y Pinus teocote.

En este trabajo se evaluó la influencia del fuego en la probabilidad de mortalidad del arbolado joven de  Pinus  hartwegii  en  el  Parque  Nacional  Izta-Popo,  área  natural  protegida  del  centro  de México.  Los  efectos  de  un  incendio  de  mediana  a  alta  intensidad  ocurrido  en  marzo  del 2013, una quema prescrita de baja intensidad realizada en abril del mismo año y un área testigo sin presencia de fuego reciente se valoraron y compararon. Los resultados mostraron que 18 meses después de aplicados los tratamientos, la mortalidad del arbolado en el área con quema prescrita fue de 13 %, mientras que en el área incendiada y testigo fue de 28 y 4 %, respectivamente. Se obtuvieron seis modelos logísticos para predecir la mortalidad; el porcentaje de copa dañada, la altura de cicatriz y el diámetro normal con corteza fueron las variables significativas (P < 0.05) de predicción. Los resultados sugieren que la disminución en la capacidad fotosintética y en el transporte de nutrimentos, asociados al daño de la copa y al cámbium, están estrechamente ligados con la probabilidad de mortalidad.

Se  desarrolló  un  modelo  de  perfil  de  copa  para  Pinus  cooperi  Blanco  a  partir  de  92 árboles en la UMAFOR 1008 (Región El Salto, Pueblo Nuevo, Durango). Se seleccionaron individuos con una copa bien conformada y de diferente edad, densidad y calidad de estación. En cada uno de los individuos se midieron las variables diámetro normal, altura total, diámetro, longitud y perfil de copa. Tanto formas geométricas sencillas como algunos modelos matemáticos se analizaron para predecir el perfil de la copa. El mejor modelo para describir el perfil de copa de P. cooperi fue el de Hann (1999), ya que tuvo mejor ajuste para la copa entera, copa de luz y copa de sombra, explicando más de 92 % de la variabilidad de los datos.

Abstract. We validate two-dimensional ionospheric tomography reconstructions against EISCAT incoherent scatter radar measurements. Our tomography method is based on Bayesian statistical inversion with prior distribution given by its mean and covariance. We employ ionosonde measurements for the choice of the prior mean and covariance parameters and use the Gaussian Markov random fields as a sparse matrix approximation for the numerical computations. This results in a computationally efficient tomographic inversion algorithm with clear probabilistic interpretation. We demonstrate how this method works with simultaneous beacon satellite and ionosonde measurements obtained in northern Scandinavia. The performance is compared with results obtained with a zero-mean prior and with the prior mean taken from the International Reference Ionosphere 2007 model. In validating the results, we use EISCAT ultra-high-frequency incoherent scatter radar measurements as the ground truth for the ionization profile shape. We find that in comparison to the alternative prior information sources, ionosonde measurements improve the reconstruction by adding accurate information about the absolute value and the altitude distribution of electron density. With an ionosonde at continuous disposal, the presented method enhances stand-alone near-real-time ionospheric tomography for the given conditions significantly.
Poverty and Crimes in Nigeria: Indices of Governance Failure
Authors: Adegbami Adeleke , Uche Charles I. N.
Published: April 2016

Poverty and means of survival has contributed in no small measure to the level of crimes being committed in Nigeria. In our contemporary time, the rate at which crimes are being perpetrated in Nigeria is unparalleled. The nation’s problem is not unconnected with weakness in its administrative system; where a few powerful cliques hijacked the administrative apparatus to serve their interests to the detriments of the citizenry. Accordingly, widespread impunity became prevalence among the government actors, corruption thrives, and disease germinates, poverty blossoms, crime breeds, and permeated the nooks and crannies of the nation. The nation’s Managers responded to the problem by cosmeticizing the nation’s image with the slogan – “Nigerians, good people great nation” a negation or aberration of the popular saying – “a hungry man is an angry man”; instead of giving good governance to the citizenry. It is on this note that the study examined the nexus between poverty and crimes in Nigeria. The study relied heavily on secondary sources of data. The findings of the study revealed that there was correlation between unemployment and criminal practices; many of the youths engaged in crime, to keep their bodies and souls together. The findings also revealed that lack of good governance, vis-a-vis committed; competent; and visionary leadership has contributed to the situation in which Nigerian’s youths find themselves; which had earned them names such as – bunkers, hooligans, kidnappers or hostages’ taker, internet fraudsters, drug peddlers, and prostitutes. These nefarious activities have led many of them into Prison. The implications of crimes and criminal activities on Nigeria and Nigerians included – psychological trauma on victims, victims’ relations, and people within the areas of crimes. Some victims suffer loss of vital organs or parts of their bodies; permanent disability; or even premature death, which consequently, turning members of the society into orphans, widows and widowers. Crimes and criminal activities also brought about, lower quality of life; loss of incomes; properties; relocation or closure of businesses and markets; increase in security budget; and damage in the image of the country. The study concluded that, since Nigeria’s leaders appear incapable of providing appropriate solution to the menace, expatriate could as well be hired as it has being done to other business activities of Nigeria.

As anlises de correlao, envolvendo diversidade do sortimento e o volume de vendas, basearam-se na anlise de vinte e sete importantes categorias de produtos. Com base nessas informaes conseguiu-se mostrar que a mdia do nmero de itens ofertados, varivel proxy das dimenses sortimento e profundidade, mantem correlao significativa e elevada com as vendas ao consumidor final independentemente dos tipos e tamanhos de supermercados analisados.
Organizational Influences in Technology Adoption Decisions: A Case Study of Digital Libraries
Authors: Oguz Fatih
Published: April 2016

The purpose of this study was to understand the organizational level decision factors in technology adoption in the context of digital libraries. A qualitative case study approach was used to investigate the adoption of a specific technology, XML-based Web services, in digital libraries. Rogers’s diffusion of innovations and Wenger’s communities of practice were the theories used to frame the study. The data collected through interviews were triangulated with documentary evidence and a comprehensive member check. Four organizational level influences identified when making technology adoption decisions in the context of digital libraries were organizational structure, management style, focus and direction of the program, and relationships with external entities. Attributes including program size, organizational culture and availability of financial resources contributed to these organizational level influences whereas program size did not appear to have an effect. Informal communication mechanisms were found to inform and influence the decision-making process.

This paper reports on a collaborative exercise designed to generate a coherent agenda for research on mathematical cognition. Following an established method, the exercise brought together 16 mathematical cognition researchers from across the fields of mathematics education, psychology and neuroscience. These participants engaged in a process in which they generated an initial list of research questions with the potential to significantly advance understanding of mathematical cognition, winnowed this list to a smaller set of priority questions, and refined the eventual questions to meet criteria related to clarity, specificity and practicability. The resulting list comprises 26 questions divided into six broad topic areas: elucidating the nature of mathematical thinking, mapping predictors and processes of competence development, charting developmental trajectories and their interactions, fostering conceptual understanding and procedural skill, designing effective interventions, and developing valid and reliable measures. In presenting these questions in this paper, we intend to support greater coherence in both investigation and reporting, to build a stronger base of information for consideration by policymakers, and to encourage researchers to take a consilient approach to addressing important challenges in mathematical cognition.
Cross-cultural and intra-cultural differences in finger-counting habits and number magnitude processing: Embodied numerosity in Canadian and Chinese university students
Authors: Morrissey Kyle Richard , Liu Mowei , Kang Jingmei , Hallett Darcy , Wang Qiangqiang
Published: April 2016

Recent work in numerical cognition has shown-that number magnitude is not entirely abstract, and at least partly rooted in embodied and situated experiences, including finger-counting. The current study extends previous cross-cultural research to address within-culture individual differences in finger counting habits. Results indicated that Canadian participants demonstrated an additional cognitive load when comparing numbers that require more than one hand to represent, and this pattern of performance is further modulated by whether they typically start counting on their left hand or their right hand. Chinese students typically count on only one hand and so show no such effect, except for an increase in errors, similar to that seen in Canadians, for those whom self-identify as predominantly two-hand counters. Results suggest that the impact of finger counting habits extend beyond cultural experience and concord in predictable ways with differences in number magnitude processing for specific number-digits. We conclude that symbolic number magnitude processing is partially rooted in learned finger-counting habits, consistent with a motor simulation account of embodied numeracy and that argument is supported by both cross-cultural and within-culture differences in finger-counting habits.
Personality traits and the expression area of synthetic house-tree-person drawings in early adolescent Japanese
Authors: Kato Daiki , Suzuki Mikie
Published: April 2016

This study surveyed the expression areas of the Synthetic House-Tree-Person drawing test (S-HTP test, Mikami, 1995) for Japanese early adolescents. The S-HTP test is a projective method in which subjects are asked to draw a house, tree, and person. The expression area is defined as the area of each drawn item, such as the house, tree or person. The participants consisted of 186 Japanese junior high school students and their S-HTP drawings were analyzed using path analysis. The relationships between the expression areas of each item in the test and the students’ personality traits were examined. The personality traits were measured using the Five-Factor Personality Inventory for Children (FFPC, Soga, 1999). The results show that personality traits of high conscientiousness were associated with larger houses (p < .10) and trees (p < .10). In addition, higher scores on openness to experience (p < .01) and on agreeableness (p < .05) correlate with bigger person figures as their size, whereas higher scores on neuroticism correlate with smaller figures as their size (p < .01). The findings also indicate that the total fitness of the model was sufficient (CFI = .984, RMSEA = .021). These findings may aid the development of useful criteria for future psychological assessments.
