Nouveaux regards sur l’éducation
Authors: Grosgeorge Marie , Martin Gilles
Published: March 2017

En France, l’école fait partie de ces objets à propos desquels nul n’est indifférent, que ce soit pour en critiquer les défaillances ou pour l’ériger en creuset d’une cohésion sociale revivifiée. La diversité des travaux de sciences sociales sur l’éducation reflète le caractère profondément multidimensionnel de ce champ : diversité des approches, des objets, des étapes de la chaîne éducative... Ce caractère symbolique (voire totémique) de l’éducation, tout comme l’ancienneté des recherches de sciences sociales à son sujet, peuvent donner l’impression que tout a été écrit et compris de ce qui s’y joue. Les articles de ce dossier permettent au contraire de mesurer à quel point les questionnements se renouvellent et se déplacent à mesure que le système éducatif évolue. Incarnation, s’il en est, de la nécessité et de la vitalité des SES.
Des marches pour un logement
Authors: Léobal Clémence
Published: March 2017

Si les modes de gouvernement de l’État français s’appuient sur des catégorisations des habitants, ces derniers ne sont pas passifs face aux institutions. Cette enquête au guichet a été réalisée non pas aux côtés d’agents institutionnels, mais de demandeuses de logement saint-laurentaises, définies ethniquement comme bushinenguées. Elles associent l’État à une blancheur postcoloniale qualifiée de «  bakaa  », bien qu’il soit incarné par des agent.e.s d’origines diverses. La socialisation institutionnelle de ces demandeuses combine la revendication d’un droit au logement avec l’idée que l’État « donne » ces logements, en contrepartie de l’action de « marcher », c’est-à-dire d’effectuer personnellement et physiquement des démarches actives et répétées. Cette « marche » vers le logement va à l’encontre des stéréotypes de classe, de race et de genre sur la passivité de ces personnes. Lors de leurs interactions avec les agents, ces femmes se conforment d’un côté aux attendus bureaucratiques bakaa , mais en subvertissent de l’autre certains codes. Elles négocient des arrangements institutionnels, loin des idéaux bureaucratiques.

Authors: Holder Nicholas , Surís Alina , Holliday Ryan , North Carol S.
Published: March 2017

No part of the world is immune from major disasters—be they natural disasters, industrial and technological accidents, or intentional human-caused incidents including acts of terrorism. Therefore, disaster preparedness is of paramount importance for all communities everywhere. Several decades of mental health research regarding disasters have generated essential data informing community response to the mental health needs of survivors of disaster. This research has generated principles for disaster mental health response and informed the development of operationalized procedures for the response using an established framework for emergency and medical response to mass casualty incidents. This article first reviews the research foundation for these principles and operationalized procedures and then summarizes recommendations for conducting an organized disaster mental health response.

Economic Load Dispatch Using Oppositional Backtracking Search Algorithm
Authors: Pradhan Moumita , Roy Provas Kumar , Pal Tandra
Published: March 2017

In this paper, an oppositional backtracking search algorithm (OBSA) is proposed to solve the large scale economic load dispatch (ELD) problem. The main drawback of the conventional backtracking search algorithm (BSA) is that it produces a local optimal solution rather than the global optimal solution. The proposed OBSA methodology is a highly-constrained optimization problem has to minimize the total generation cost by satisfying several constraints involving load demand, generation limits, prohibited operating zone, ramp rate limits and valve point loading effect. The proposed method is applied for three test systems and provides the unique and fast solutions. The new heuristic OBSA approach is successfully applied in three test systems consisting of 13 and 140 thermal generators. The test results are judged against various methods. The simulation results show the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed OBSA algorithm over other methods like conventional BSA, oppositional invasive weed optimization (OIWO), Shuffled differential evolution (SDE) and oppositional real coded chemical reaction optimization (ORCCRO). This clearly suggests that the new OBSA method can achieve effective and feasible solutions of nonlinear ELD problems.
Communicating with Citizens on the Ground
Authors: Mazumdar Suvodeep , Ciravegna Fabio , Ireson Neil , Read Jennifer , Simpson Emma , Cudd Peter
Published: March 2017

Availability and access to information is critical for a highly effective response to an ongoing event however, information reported by citizens is based on their context, bias and subjective interpretation, and the channel of communication may be too narrow to provide clear, accurate reporting. This can often lead to inadequate response to an emergency, which can in turn result in loss of property or even lives. Excessive response to an emergency can also result in a waste of highly resources. The authors' solution to address this problem is to make the citizen act as a camera for the control room by exploiting the user's mobile camera. The system is designed to provide a live view of the citizen's immediate surroundings, while control room personnel can provide instructions. In this paper, the authors introduce their approach and share initial insights from a focus group validation session and then four evaluations with users within a separate but closely related domain. They discuss their observations, evaluation results and provide a set of recommendations for the Emergency Response domain.
Robust Execution of Mobile Activities in Process-Aware Information Systems
Authors: Pryss Rüdiger , Reichert Manfred
Published: March 2017

Process management technology constitutes a crucial component of service-oriented environments as it facilitates the composition of services at design time and their orchestration at run time. In this context, high flexibility is required as business functions must be quickly adaptable to cope with dynamic changes in the business. The tremendous proliferation of smart mobile devices over the last years has fostered their prevalence in knowledge-intensive areas. As a result, it is frequently demanded to enhance process-aware information systems with mobile activity support. The latter constitutes process activities (i.e., single process steps) to be executed on smart mobile devices. In general, the technical integration of this activity type with existing process management technology is challenging. If a mobile context shall be additionally considered when executing the activities, the integration gets even more complex. However, the use of such a mobile context offers several advantages. For example, (mobile) activity execution time can be significantly decreased if mobile activities are only assigned to those users whose location is close to the one of the mobile activity. Existing research approaches mainly focus on the partitioning of processes and the distributed execution of the resulting fragments on smart mobile devices. Opposed to this fragmentation concept, this paper proposes an approach to enable the robust and flexible execution of single process activities on smart mobile devices.
Path Analysis Model for Supply Chain Risk Management
Authors: Sharma Satyendra Kumar , Bhat Anil , Kumar Vinod , Agarwal Aayushi
Published: March 2017

The purpose of this paper is to develop a model to understand the relationship of supply chain risk sources, risk drivers, and risk mitigation strategies to the overall risk exposure of the firm and to validate the model empirically. An attempt has been made to determine the major contributors of supply chain risk as viewed by automotive professionals in today's competitive market. This study empirically validates the effects of the three critical constructs on overall supply chain risk exposure. The limitations of this study can be seen in the use of perceptual data from single informants and the focus on automotive firms in a single country. The detailed operationalization of the constructs sheds further light on the major risk sources, drivers, and mitigation strategies in supply chain networks. Clear evidence of proactive strategies in mitigating risks provides managers with a business case to invest in such initiatives.
Managing Collaborative Relationships in Third Party Logistics
Authors: Gu Vicky Ching , Cao Ray Qing , Black Ken , Zeng Hansen
Published: March 2017

Some supply chain management researchers have realized the potential of collaborative activities for enhancing supply chain performance while other researchers have explored the positive impact of relationship quality on supply chain performance. To date, however, no empirical research has integrated these two research streams. Drawing upon social exchange theory, the authors propose a holistic research framework to explore the relationships among collaborative activities, the inter-organizational relationship quality, and supply chain performance. Specifically, they examine the mediating effect of relationship quality on the association between collaborative activities and supply chain performance. The research model is then tested using survey data (n=219). The authors' results illustrate a positive impact of both collaborative activities and relationship quality on enhancing supply chain performance. Moreover, this paper also supports the hypothesis that relationship quality mediates the relationship between collaborative activities and supply chain performance in third party logistics.
A Distributed Scalar Controller Selection Scheme for Redundant Data Elimination in Sensor Networks
Authors: Priyadarshini Sushree Bibhuprada B. , Panigrahi Suvasini
Published: March 2017

This research presents a novel distributed strategy for actuation of reduced number of cameras motivated by scalar controller selection for eliminating the amount of redundant data transmission taking place in any geographic zone under speculation. The proposed framework is based on dividing the monitored region into a number of virtual compartments. A scalar controller is selected in each of the compartments, which is chosen in such a manner that its distance is the minimum among all the scalars from the central point of the concerned compartment. Further, all the cameras are arranged in a predetermined circular fashion. Whenever, an event takes place, the scalar controllers inform their respective cameras regarding its occurrence. The cameras collaboratively exchange information among themselves for deciding which among them are to be actuated. The least camera activation, enhanced coverage ratio, minimized redundancy ratio, reduced energy and power expenditure obtained from the experimental outcomes affirm the effectiveness of our proposed method over other approaches.
Geometric Processing of IKONOS Geo Images with DEM
Authors: Toutin Th
Published: March 2017

Thirteen Pan or XS IKONOS Geo-product images over seven study sites with various environments and terrain were tested using different cartographic data and accuracies using a parametric modelling developed at the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing. The objectives
were to track the error propagation during the full geometric correction process (bundle adjustment and ortho-rectification). When ground control points (GCPs) are less than 3-m accurate, 20 GCPs over the full image is a good compromise to obtain 3-4 m accuracy in the bundle adjustment. When
cartographic co-ordinates are better than 1-m, 10 GCPs are then enough to increase to 2-3 m accuracy with either panchromatic or multiband images. The remaining error is due to GCP definition and plotting. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations of ortho-images were performed with independent check
points or digital vector files. Positioning accuracy of 2-4 m is achieved for the ortho-images depending of the elevation accuracy (DEM and grid spacing). To achieve a better final positioning accuracy, such as 1 m, 1-2 m accurate DEM with fine grid spacing is required in addition to well-defined
GCPs benchmarked on the ground.

Published: March 2017

We study a novel class of numerical integrators, the adapted nested force-gradient schemes, used within the molecular dynamics step of the Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm. We test these methods in the Schwinger model on the lattice, a well known benchmark problem. We derive the analytical basis of nested force-gradient type methods and demonstrate the advantage of the proposed approach, namely reduced computational costs compared with other numerical integration schemes in HMC.

Code Status Reconciliation to Improve Identification and Documentation of Code Status in Electronic Health Records
Authors: Jain Viral G , Greco Peter J , Kaelber David C
Published: March 2017

Background: Code status (CS) of a patient (part of their end-of-life wishes) can be critical information in healthcare delivery, which can change over time, especially at transitions of care. Although electronic health record (EHR) tools exist for medication reconciliation across transitions of care, much less attention is given to CS, and standard EHR tools have not been implemented for CS reconciliation (CSR). Lack of CSR creates significant potential patient safety and quality of life issues. Objective: To study the tools, workflow, and impact of clinical decision support (CDS) for CSR. Methods: We established rules for CS implementation in our EHR. At admission, a CS is required as part of a patient’s admission order set. Using standard CDS tools in our EHR, we built an interruptive alert for CSR at discharge if a patient did not have the same inpatient (current) CS at discharge as that prior to admission CS.

Results: Of 80,587 admissions over a four year period (2 years prior to and post CSR implementation), CS discordance was seen in 3.5% of encounters which had full code status prior to admission, but Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) CS at discharge. In addition, 1.4% of the encounters had a different variant of the DNR CS at discharge when compared with CS prior to admission. On pre-post CSR implementation analysis, DNR CS per 1000 admissions per month increased significantly among patients discharged and in patients being admitted (mean ± SD: 85.36 ± 13.69 to 399.85 ± 182.86, p<0.001; and 1.99 ± 1.37 vs 16.70 ± 4.51, p<0.001, respectively).

Conclusion: EHR enabled CSR is effective and represents a significant informatics opportunity to help honor patients’ end-of-life wishes. CSR represents one example of non-medication reconciliation at transitions of care that should be considered in all EHRs to improve care quality and patient safety.

Attitudes of teachers regarding parents and their emotions, reactions and feelings of competence in diverse ways of parental involvement: A case specific analysis

Parental involvement has become salient in the educational policy agenda. To successfully implement parental involvement policy in the school teachers are of major importance. In their daily contact with parents, teacher attitudes, their emotions and their competences play a significant role. Teachers are expected to deal with a variety of ways in which parents show their involvement with their child’s education; with assertive ways of involvement, like overprotective or unsatisfied parents, but also with parents who do not respond to school’s invitations. In this study, it is investigated how primary school teachers respond to diverse ways in which parents are involved and how these responses can be explained by teachers’ attitudes towards parental involvement. The study involved a survey among 127 teachers. They were asked about their attitudes towards parental involvement and they were presented with three hypothetical cases in which ways of involvement were depicted (overprotective, unsatisfied, non-responsive to invitations). Teachers were asked about their emotional and behavioural responses in these cases. Analyses showed that teachers in general have positive attitudes towards parental involvement, that they feel competent and that they intend to respond with understanding and empathy to various ways of involvement and that they put effort in building constructive relationships with these parents. Teachers with positive parental involvement attitudes were most sympathetic to parents who do not meet the ideal-typical standards of parental involvement.

A school learning community formed by teachers and parents: Towards improving educational partnership

A partnership in which parents and teachers attune their support can be beneficial for children’s development. However, in practice parents and teachers encounter difficulties in establishing such partnerships. A school learning community (SLC) in which parents and teachers cooperate and reflect on their views and practices could be beneficial for the improvement of such a partnership. In the current study parents and teachers were supervised during their cooperation in a SLC towards an improved educational partnership. This research examined how equality and diversity were expressed in the SLC and to what extent participants were able to reflect on their opinions and practices. Also, it was investigated whether participants were able to convert the insights gained through reflection into practical partnership returns for the school. Four schools formed SLC’s consisting of kindergarten teachers and parents, which met five times. Transcripts of the meetings were analysed using a Thematic Coding Approach. Results show that equality and diversity were expressed in several ways. Equality in communication and attention to individual experiences and differences became important topics in the improvement of educational partnership. Depending on the school context, parents and teachers were able to reflect more or less thorough on their opinions and practices, especially regarding ‘communication’. At each school new insights into equality and diversity were translated into applications in the school. Differences between schools are discussed. Further research should determine whether these events lead to an improved long-term educational partnership that is anchored in school policy.

Abstract. A method for the retrieval of aerosol optical and microphysical properties from in situ light-scattering measurements is presented and the results are compared with existing measurement techniques. The Generalized Retrieval of Aerosol and Surface Properties (GRASP) is applied to airborne and laboratory measurements made by a novel polar nephelometer. This instrument, the Polarized Imaging Nephelometer (PI-Neph), is capable of making high-accuracy field measurements of phase function and degree of linear polarization, at three visible wavelengths, over a wide angular range of 3 to 177°. The resulting retrieval produces particle size distributions (PSDs) that agree, within experimental error, with measurements made by commercial optical particle counters (OPCs). Additionally, the retrieved real part of the refractive index is generally found to be within the predicted error of 0.02 from the expected values for three species of humidified salt particles, with a refractive index that is well established. The airborne measurements used in this work were made aboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft during the Studies of Emissions and Atmospheric Composition, Clouds and Climate Coupling by Regional Surveys (SEAC4RS) field campaign, and the inversion of this data represents the first aerosol retrievals of airborne polar nephelometer data. The results provide confidence in the real refractive index product, as well as in the retrieval's ability to accurately determine PSD, without assumptions about refractive index that are required by the majority of OPCs.
Simultaneous retrieval of water vapour, temperature and cirrus clouds properties from measurements of far infrared spectral radiance over the Antarctic Plateau
Authors: Di Natale Gianluca , Palchetti Luca , Bianchini Giovanni , Del Guasta Massimo
Published: March 2017

Abstract. The possibility separating the contributions of the atmospheric state and ice clouds by using spectral infrared measurements is a fundamental step to quantifying the cloud effect in climate models. A simultaneous retrieval of cloud and atmospheric parameters from infrared wideband spectra will allow the disentanglement of the spectral interference between these variables. In this paper, we describe the development of a code for the simultaneous retrieval of atmospheric state and ice cloud parameters, and its application to the analysis of the spectral measurements acquired by the Radiation Explorer in the Far Infrared – Prototype for Applications and Development (REFIR-PAD) spectroradiometer, which has been in operation at Concordia Station on the Antarctic Plateau since 2012. The code performs the retrieval with a computational time that is comparable with the instrument acquisition time. Water vapour and temperature profiles and the cloud optical and microphysical properties, such as the generalised effective diameter and the ice water path, are retrieved by exploiting the 230–980 cm−1 spectral band. To simulate atmospheric radiative transfer, the Line-By-Line Radiative Transfer Model (LBLRTM) has been integrated with a specifically developed subroutine based on the δ-Eddington two-stream approximation, whereas the single-scattering properties of cirrus clouds have been derived from a database for hexagonal column habits. In order to detect ice clouds, a backscattering and depolarisation lidar, co-located with REFIR-PAD has been used, allowing us to infer the position and the cloud thickness to be used in the retrieval. A climatology of the vertical profiles of water vapour and temperature has been performed by using the daily radiosounding available at the station at 12:00 UTC. The climatology has been used to build an a priori profile correlation to constrain the fitting procedure. An optimal estimation method with the Levenberg–Marquardt approach has been used to perform the retrieval. In most cases, the retrieved humidity and temperature profiles show a good agreement with the radiosoundings, demonstrating that the simultaneous retrieval of the atmospheric state is not biased by the presence of cirrus clouds. Finally, the retrieved cloud parameters allow us to study the relationships between cloud temperature and optical depth and between effective particle diameter and ice water content. These relationships are similar to the statistical correlations measured on the Antarctic coast at Dumont d'Urville and in the Arctic region.

Abstract. Alkylamines are important precursors in secondary aerosol formation in the boreal forest atmosphere. To better understand the behavior and sources of two alkylamines, dimethylamine (DMA) and diethylamine (DEA), we estimated the magnitudes of soil–atmosphere fluxes of DMA and DEA using a gradient-diffusion approximation based on measured concentrations in soil solution and in the canopy air space. The ambient air concentration of DMA used in this study was a sum of DMA and ethylamine. To compute the amine fluxes, we first estimated the soil air space concentration from the measured soil solution amine concentration using soil physical (temperature, soil water content) and chemical (pH) state variables. Then, we used the resistance analogy to account for gas transport mechanisms in the soil, soil boundary layer, and canopy air space. The resulting flux estimates revealed that the boreal forest soil with a typical long-term mean pH 5.3 is a possible source of DMA (170 ± 51 nmol m−2 day−1) and a sink of DEA (−1.2 ± 1.2 nmol m−2 day−1). We also investigated the potential role of fungi as a reservoir for alkylamines in boreal forest soil. We found high DMA and DEA concentrations both in fungal hyphae collected from field humus samples and in fungal pure cultures. The highest DMA and DEA concentrations were found in fungal strains belonging to decay and ectomycorrhizal fungal groups, indicating that boreal forest soil and, in particular, fungal biomass may be important reservoirs for these alkylamines.

The Transformative Power of Communication: Democratizing Practices for the General Education Classroom
Authors: Haynal Kaitlyn
Published: March 2017

This article examines the common communication practices of deliberation, discussion, delivery, and debate, for their democratizing potential through their greater inclusion in all general education classrooms. It argues that these tools are underutilized outside of communication classrooms but offer numerous benefits to teachers and students alike who participate in the general education process. Increasing communication opportunities for students in more classes can contribute to greater self-reflection, more positive engagement with and openness to difference, and higher connectivity with class content. Likewise, increased communication by faculty with students about the values of general education can reduce the risk of students missing out on the democratizing values that stand to be gained through a general education curriculum. These findings have implications for the reenvisioning of how general education classes can be taught as well as how instructors might better appeal to student engagement with course material based on the transformative power of communication.
La discusión sobre las artes y oficios en los albores de la república
Authors: Castillo Eduardo
Published: March 2017

Durantes los inicios de la vida independiente, más específicamente en el tramo comprendido entre 1810 y comienzos de la década de 1830, dentro del gran debate que sentó las bases para la institucionalidad de la república se asignó interés al desarrollo de las artes y oficios en el contexto chileno, lo que era visto por un lado como camino a la "regeneración del pueblo" a través de la educación popular; y por otro, como camino al desarrollo productivo mediante la formación de recursos humanos que pudieran encontrar ocupación como artesanos u obreros. Este artículo aborda el escenario previo a la instauración de esta enseñanza en el país, lo que tuvo lugar a fines de la década de 1840 con la apertura de la Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Santiago.
El diseño complejo
Authors: Quezada Moncada Marcelo
Published: March 2017

El diseño no solo es una disciplina difícil de entender a partir de todas las definiciones que en torno a él se han planteado, sino que tal entendimiento se complica más aún cuando este se ejerce en términos profesionales. El concepto disciplinar que sustenta el presente texto define el diseñar como una ecualización de variables con resultado de forma, por lo que asociar el diseño profesional exclusivamente a la forma o pretender restringirlo al ámbito técnico de la producción resulta inadecuado, toda vez que lo realmente trascendente es la cuestión del valor que adquieren los objetos para un perfil de usuario determinado. Luego si en los tiempos del consumo globalizado las valoraciones han cambiado, ello requiere que la formación de los diseñadores profesionales de nivel superior también cambien en sus métodos y contenidos de manera que permitan comprender los fenómenos sociales contemporáneos como un primer paso para la proposición de nuevas realidades. En estos términos es que frente a un escenario que se estima dominado por la especulación económica y la desesperanza social, el diseño adquiere valor cuando contribuye a reposicionar la condición emocional y estética del ser humano.
Entre contener y ser contenido
Authors: Morales Meneses Jorge
Published: March 2017

El presente artículo propone una nueva manera de entender los elementos comunes en la formación y el hacer del diseño y de la arquitectura, posibilitando un pensar común y un coactuar en diversas escalas de intervención, necesarias para el manejo de la complejidad del paisaje contemporáneo. La convicción de un pensar común entre ambas disciplinas permite explorar un marco filosófico que incluye a pensadores tan trascendentales como Aristóteles, Kant y Heidegger, estableciendo un orden de pensamiento que los relaciona y sitúa. En momentos en que el territorio está siendo visible y negativamente afectado por elementos no pensados o que fueron imaginados separadamente, este artículo propone una mirada que le dé sentido de totalidad a las acciones del diseño y de la arquitectura, como elementos que permanentemente se contienen en otros de diferente escala, pero que siempre están vinculados. Reconocer el paisaje físico y mental, tangible e intangible que contiene al diseño y a la arquitectura contribuirá a establecer un marco de acción donde todos los elementos construidos por el ser humano puedan tener un rol específico y una escala asumida, e intercomprenderse para mejor utilización de los recursos, disminuir el impacto ambiental y contribuir a un orden social mejor interpretado por los objetos, espacios y sus representaciones.
Mal de proyecto. Archivo ficcional y proyectualidad
Authors: Solís Opazo José
Published: March 2017

La noción de proyecto, altamente cuestionada a partir de la denominada “muerte del sujeto” dada su inevitable identificación con este último, aparece como un índice de primordial importancia a la hora de repensarla desde las condiciones actuales del arte contemporáneo, sobre todo, desde el modo en que la lógica del archivo ha logrado hegemonizar un importante conjunto de sus prácticas. La pregunta por el “archivo de proyecto” vendría a colocar en juego un supuesto doble agotamiento: el del proyecto, como recurso ético-político fundamental de la modernidad; y el del arte, en tanto puesta en obra de una reflexión por los recursos de representación y significación de los códigos que intentan organizan lo que llamamos “realidad”. Archivar la promesa de liberación, lejos de concebirse como un acto de desprendimiento o abandono de esta, constituye una acción necesaria para proteger su irreductibilidad a las condiciones de lo meramente posible.

Gravity and the Absoluteness of Time: a Simple Qualitative Model
Authors: Cataldo Carmine
Published: March 2017

In this paper, we qualitatively examine the compatibility between gravity and the absoluteness of time. Initially, time is supposed as being absolute. However, this assumption does not imply that instruments and devices, finalized to measure time, are not influenced by gravity. On the contrary, we admit that whatever phenomenon, including the ones that occur when we measure time, shows clear traces of the influence of gravity. Nonetheless, the alleged time dilation, that seems to occur when we approach a gravitational source, could actually be illusory. In this paper, in fact, we contemplate the possibility that the above-mentioned phenomenon could be exclusively related to the contraction of the orbits induced by the mass that produces the gravitational field. We start from postulating a Universe, belonging to the oscillatory class, characterized by at least a further spatial dimension. At the beginning, the Universe in its entirety is assimilated to a four-dimensional ball, and matter is considered as being evenly spread. Once hypothesized that all the available mass may be concentrated in a single point, taking advantage of an opportune parameterization, pretending that the orbits don't undergo any modification whatsoever and admitting, as a consequence, that time starts slowing down when we move towards the singularity, we can easily obtain, far from the source, a Schwarzschild solution for the vacuum field, without using General Relativity.

The study group of the research, which was designed in survey method, consisted of 303 voluntary mother-child dyad. The participant children were attending a preschool in 2014-2015 academic year, in Istanbul and they were selected by random cluster sampling method. The “Personal Information Form”, the “Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire-Mother Form (PARQ)”, the “Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation-30 (SCBE-30)” and the “Emotion Regulation Checklist” were used as data collection tools.As a result of the study, it has been found that there is a positive significant relationship between maternal acceptance level and children’s “Social Competence” subscale of SCBE-30 and their emotional regulation skills. In addition to this result, it has been found that maternal acceptance level didn’t differentiated according to age and gender of the child; however the average scores of PARQ’s “Warmth/Affection” subscale have been differentiated in favor of the girls. It has been found that “Social Competence” and “Anger-Aggression” subscales of SCBE-30 were significantly differentiated according to gender; “Anger-Aggression” scores of the boys were higher than the girls, whereas “Social Competence” scores of the girls were higher than the boys. Moreover, it has been found that “Lability-Negativity” subscale scores of Emotion Regulation Checklist have been differentiated according to gender; girls showing less labile/negative emotional reactions. Finally, it has been found that child’s social competence and emotional regulation skills increase as the age increases.

Until recently, only two AOAC Official MethodsSM have been available for the analysis of fructans: Method 997.08 and Method 999.03. Both are based on the analysis of the fructan component monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) after hydrolysis. The two methods have some limitations due to the strategies used for removing background interferences (such as from sucrose, α-glucooligosaccharides, and free sugars). The method described in this paper has been developed to overcome those limitations. The method is largely based on Method 999.03 and uses combined enzymatic and SPE steps to remove the interfering components without impacting the final analytical result. The method has been validated in two laboratories on infant formula and adult nutritionals. Recoveries were in the range of 86–119%, with most being in the range of 91–104%. RSDr values were in the range of 0.7–2.6%, with one exception when the fructan concentration was close to the LOQ, resulting in an RSDr of 8.9%. The performance is generallywithin the requirements outlined in the AOAC StandardMethod Performance Requirements (SMPR® 2014.002), which specifies recoveries in the range of 90–110% and RSDr values below 6%.
More than Just Summer Reading: The Shift to "Summer Learning"
Authors: Caputo Christine , Estrovitz Christy
Published: March 2017

Yay summer! At the end of every school year, children are excited to begin their summer vacations. During this time off many students also look forward to a summer enrichment camp, traveling with their families, visiting local museums and historical sites, or many other experiences.For many others, especially children and teens from low-income communities, their summer vacation is not full of learning opportunities. Research over the last several years indicates that children who do not participate in learning experiences over the summer year after year have an academic achievement gap that grows throughout the elementary and middle school years. This summer learning loss can add up to about two-thirds of the gap in reading achievement by ninth grade.

Every Child Ready to Read: Reaching Outside the Library Walls
Authors: Stippich Sarah
Published: March 2017

It truly takes a village to raise a child. When we think about getting parents involved in their child’s early literacy, it’s a good idea to start thinking outside the box and outside the building. Librarians are not the only ones who are invested in a child’s success; we need to embrace the whole child, the whole family, and the whole community.With the Words at Play Vocabulary Initiative, we have implemented creative ways to reach outside library walls to empower parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and others with whom children interact in their daily lives.
Regulative Strategies in Arbitration Law Uncitral Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration (UNCITRAL) compared with Arbitration Law of the People's Republic of China
Authors: Trosborg Anna
Published: March 2017

This paper is concerned with the laying down of the law in international and domestic arbitration. Interest centres on regulative and constitutive functions, and an analysis of realisation patterns of regulative (directive) acts is reported. The focus is on the linguistic realisation patterns of obligation, prohibition, and permission in terms of modal verbs and constitutive rules.The ﬁndings show that the language of the law characteristically select patterns of directives which are speciﬁc to the legal domain. Face redress typically used in everyday communication as well as business interaction is not a device used in arbitration law. Moreover, the linguistic devices employed differ as regards different parts of the law. Modal verbs are typically applied for action rules, whereas constitutive rules are mainly reserved for stipulation rules and deﬁnition rules.The analysis offers a comparison of Unicitral Model Law and domestic law. Finally, attention is paid to the adequacy of the chosen linguistic realisation patterns as regards simpliﬁcation/ easiﬁ cation of legal expressions. The results are compared to those obtained in a previous study of Contract Law.
Os educadores de creche e o conflito entre cuidar e educar
Authors: Alves Roberta C. P.. , Veríssimo Maria De La Ó. R.
Published: March 2017

Promover saúde à criança é garantir cuidados de qualidade para seu desenvolvimento integral. Visando a identificar percepções de educadoras e proposta institucional sobre cuidados de saúde infantil, foram entrevistadas professoras e coordenadora pedagógica de creche municipal em São Paulo, e analisados documentos institucionais. A integração educar-e-cuidar aparece nos discursos como própria do trabalho em creche, mas dificultada pela precária formação para os cuidados, principalmente de saúde, e sobrecarga de atividades, levantando dúvidas sobre a exeqüibilidade dessa integração. Educar ainda é foco principal do trabalho, e cuidar é inevitável pela dependência das crianças, mas restrito ao corpo e valorizado somente se atrelado à educação. As propostas institucionais documentadas apresentam lacunas quanto à inclusão do cuidado como categoria independente e inerente à função profissional do educador. É imperioso persistir na construção de propostas integradoras do cuidado na formação inicial e permanente das educadoras, apoiada pelas diferentes disciplinas que atuam na atenção infantil.
Cosplayers como fenômeno psicossocial: do reflexo da cultura de massa ao desejo de ser herói
Authors: Coelho Junior Leconte De Lisle , Silva Sara Santos
Published: March 2017

Este estudo visou entender o que leva as pessoas a produzirem cosplays, ou seja, o que origina o comportamento de travestir-se como os heróis de desenhos animados e mangás, mais notadamente os animés (desenhos animados japoneses) e quais as conseqüências de tal motivação. A coleta de dados se deu entre o mês de outubro de 2003 e outubro de 2004 nas cidades de São Paulo (SP) e Aracaju (SE) sendo que a amostra contou com 26 participantes cuja média de idade era de 17,5 anos (DP = 3,42). Utilizou-se a análise qualitativa no formato de entrevistas para melhor detectar a ocorrência do fenômeno e sua explicação. Os resultados mostraram que os jovens seguem essa preferência porque isso os afasta do seu contexto cotidiano, ou seja, o fato de adotarem o perfil do personagem e de, principalmente, vestirem-se como eles encarnando-os, serviria como uma forma de busca por um bem-estar que ajudaria a manter o equilíbrio no dia a dia.
