Multimedia Pretraining to Teach Complex Content in Occupational Therapy Education
Authors: Kaye Melisa 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Importance: Challenged to teach increasingly complex content to students, occupational therapy educators need effective instructional approaches. The explosion of multimedia and digital resources in college classrooms suggests that solutions to teaching complicated concepts should leverage educational technology. The multimedia principle of pretraining offers one technique for enriching instruction. The principle of pretraining specifies that learning is more effective when the names and characteristics of main terms are introduced before detailed concepts are presented.
Objective: To compare the efficacy of three approaches to pretraining for increasing student mastery of complex health care content.
Design: Pretest, posttest, delayed posttest (after 2 wk).
Setting: University.
Participants: First-year occupational therapy students (N = 145) at three West Coast universities.
Intervention: One of three 12-min video interventions was administered to participants: traditional enhanced pretraining, static concept map pretraining, or animated concept map pretraining. A subsequent 1-hr live lecture on the complex topic of sensory integration theory expanded on the pretraining foundation and was presented to all students.
Outcomes and Measures: Schematic knowledge, which refers to the web of interrelated information built during the learning process, was measured using a structured word association test.
Results: Participants benefited from all types of pretraining, yet the greatest gains were seen with the static concept map pretraining approach.
Conclusions and Relevance: Pretraining with a static concept map provides effective preparation for complex content learning and preferentially assists learners with low prior knowledge of a topic. Despite its surface sophistication, an animated concept map does not increase pretraining effectiveness and is not recommended.
What This Article Adds: As occupational therapy educators are charged with teaching ever more complex content augmented by the use of educational technology, finding practical strategies to enhance student learning is key. Pretraining using a static (one-page or one-screen) concept map introduces new terminology to the learner while simultaneously providing an overview of a topic. Then, when more complex concepts are introduced, exposure to the topic and prior knowledge have already been primed, thus increasing learning potential.
Supporting People With Stroke to Return to Work in Singapore: Findings From a Pilot Vocational Rehabilitation Program
Authors: Bin Zainal Mohamad Nizar , Pei Wen Pauline Koh , Sien Ng Yee , Kee Kalya Marisa , Chieh Kam Jin , Asano Miho 
Published: October 2020

AbstractImportance: Return to work after stroke is an important rehabilitation outcome. Vocational rehabilitation may support people with stroke to return to work.Objective: To report the return-to-work rate of people with stroke who completed a local community-based vocational rehabilitation program and to describe the program’s impact on their community reintegration.Design: Retrospective database study.Setting: Community-based voluntary welfare organization.Participants: Fifty-eight men and women ages 21 to 55 yr, formally diagnosed with stroke, with no significant cognitive impairment, and fit to undergo rehabilitation.Intervention: A pilot community-based interdisciplinary vocational rehabilitation program implemented between 2014 and 2017. The program included physical rehabilitation, psychosocial support, employment support, and caregiver support services.Outcomes and Measures: Return-to-work rate and community reintegration as measured by the Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ).Results: Fifty participants completed the program. Their median age was 44 yr, and most were male (n = 37; 74%). Forty-four participants (88%) returned to work after completing the program. Statistically significant differences (p &lt; .001) were found between their CIQ scores at program enrollment and at completion.Conclusions and Relevance: The program appeared to benefit people with stroke in their return-to-work process. Future studies are recommended to determine the effectiveness of such programs and identify features contributing to their success. Potential implications for occupational therapy practice are that vocational rehabilitation interventions can be initiated earlier, comprehensive return-to-work programs can better address the unique needs of people with stroke, and interdisciplinary evaluations are needed to assess suitability for return to work.What This Article Adds: One of occupational therapy’s unique goals is to facilitate performance and participation in valued activities such as work. Occupational therapists can play a pivotal role across the continuum of care to support their clients to explore and achieve their vocational goals after stroke.
Kiel 2019: geographischer Dialog für die Zukunft?
Authors: Hannah Matthew G. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract. In conditions of unavoidably increasing mutual ignorance among human
geographers about each others' areas of expertise, the question of how to
pursue dialogue in a mutually respectful way that promotes insight and
learning is ever more pressing. The dialogue between Carolin Schurr and
Peter Weichhart in Kiel in 2019 offers instructive examples of how this
issue can be addressed. The first, shorter part of the contribution is
devoted to the substantive question of the unity of geographic inquiry,
which was the subject matter of the dialogue. The bulk of the discussion,
however, is devoted to analysing the dynamics of the dialogue itself, with a special focus on the sometimes very subtle and unintended ways in which
positionalities leave their mark.
The Burning Core: Using Heraclitus's Concept of anArcheof Fire to Examine Humanity's Connection with Nature in Cormac McCarthy'sThe Road
Authors: Kirkbride Jasmin 
Published: October 2020

AbstractTreating Cormac McCarthy's The Road as an ecocritical work, this article uses Heraclitus's arche of fire as a new methodological lens through which to examine the text. In particular, it asks how readers can derive hope from such a materialistically bleak novel. Heraclitus was a Presocratic philosopher from fifth century BCE Greece. He was a material monist, who claimed that fire was the principle element of the universe, or arche: the preserving and destroying element from which the cosmos came, to which it will return, and by which it will be judged. This principality of fire is reflected in the supra-religious moralistic metaphor that “good guys” in The Road “carry the fire.” This interpretation challenges Daniel Luttrell's claim that fire in The Road aligns to the Promethean myth, demonstrating that Heraclitus's arche of fire may offer a more holistic interpretation of the metaphor, particularly when combined with Marcel D. DeCoste, Matthew Mullins, and Erik J. Wielenberg's theories of community as morality within The Road. Fire is shown to represent the intrinsic, ambiguous interconnectedness of humankind—and that the defining moral choice of The Road's inhabitants is simply whether they acknowledge it, both in terms of the community of humanity, and humanity's communion with nature.
Rick Wallach's Aboriginal Blood Meridian Or the Evening Redness in the West
Authors: Josyph Peter 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Rick Wallach, founder of the Cormac McCarthy Society, first discovered the author in 1992, when he picked up a copy of Blood Meridian in Adelaide, Australia, and read it on an overnight train to Alice Springs. That began Wallach's deep engagement with McCarthy's work, which he would enthusiastically press upon friends and unsuspecting strangers. Here, Peter Jospyh tells the story of that auspicious meeting, and what happened to that original “Australian railroad copy” of Blood Meridian in its later years.
Exploring Maritime Engagement in the Early Bronze Age Levant: A Space/Time Approach
Authors: Safadi Crystal , Sturt Fraser , Blue Lucy 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThis article brings to light small-scale and everyday maritime activities through the consolidation of Early Bronze Age maritime-related material culture from the coastal Levant. By doing so, the research provides an alternative perspective on Early Bronze Age maritime activities, away from broad accounts of connectivity that neglect small-scale rhythms of coastal life. The application of temporally imbued spatial analyses serves to contextualize the material record for maritime activities in a wider sphere of coastal dynamics and interaction. Through an analysis of the whole Levantine coast, this article transcends the separation between the southern, central, and northern Levant. In this way, the sea acts as a unifying agent, a common denominator. By shifting perspectives toward the sea, emphasis is placed on the importance of maritime activities without which our understanding of Early Bronze Age coastal communities and broader Early Bronze Age developments, such as social complexity, is limited.
The Transformational Power of the Sea: Copper Production in Early Bronze Age Greece
Authors: Berg Ina 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe sea tends to shape people's lives in a myriad of practical and symbolic ways. This article argues that it is therefore unsurprising that the sea also impacted on copper workers in the southern Aegean during the Early Bronze Age. Here, the sea was an integral element of the copper production, which is characterized by movement of metal across the sea from one manufacturing stage to the next—often over considerable distances requiring lengthy absences of the workers from their home communities, making metalworkers true maritime specialists alongside the more “typical” traders, fishermen, and seafarers. The distances traveled magnified the symbolic value of the raw materials as the object's geographic distance became converted into a symbolic value-added “exotic” distance. This value was further enhanced thanks to the mastery of skills required to traverse the sea, an element very different from land and intimately associated with forgetting, disposal, and death.
The Mechanics of Cultural Hybridization in the Southern Aegean during the Third Millennium BC
Authors: Vavouranakis Giorgos 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe term “International Spirit” denotes the network of maritime communication and exchange in the southern Aegean during the third millennium BC, which is usually considered to be a relatively bounded sociohistorical phenomenon. This article exposes the need for understanding the International Spirit as a heterogeneous, dynamic, and open-ended field of social discourse. Such understanding is supported through the employment of recent advances in archaeological theory regarding cultural hybridization. It is suggested that the latter shares the same basic ways of operation with almost all other types of social communication. Therefore, the Early Bronze Age cemeteries in Attica, Euboea, or northern Crete, featuring assemblages with mixed cultural traits, should be considered as examples of such intense, and thus hybridizing, cultural discourse. The Early Cycladic communities may have pursued this type of interaction in order to balance between two pressing needs: subsistence through agropastoral activity and social reproduction through seafaring and exchange.
A imaginação na teoria da alma de Christian Wolff
Authors: Ferreira de Souza Juliano Bonamigo 
Published: October 2020

Este artigo analisa a especificidade da imaginação enquanto faculdade da alma na obra do metafísico Christain Wolff (1679-1754). Limitaremos nosso recorte às obras Metafísica alemã (1720), Discurso preliminar sobre a filosofia em geral (1728), Psychologia empirica (1732) e Psychologia rationalis (1734). (i) Orimeiramente investigamos o lugar de ambas as Psicologiæ no interior do sistema de Wolff, ressaltando a centralidade do estudo da alma [Seele]. (ii) Num segundo momento, analisamos as principais características da alma e sua vis repræsentativa como operador da relação entre a sensibilidade e as faculdades da mente. (iii) Por fim, analisamos os modos de produção de phantasmata e de associação por meio dos quais a imaginação opera na alma. Concluimos mostrando que é em Wolff, contrariamente à tradição que o antecedera, que a imaginação aparece como uma faculdade rigorosamente regulada pelas leis do intelecto, e não pelo costume.
El elefante en las acuñaciones hispanocartaginesas
Authors: Aledo Martínez José Luis 
Published: October 2020

Uno de los temas más discutidos por la historiografía del mundo antiguo, tanto pasada como presente, es la influencia helenística en la ciudad norteafricana de Cartago. En particular, se ha generado un intenso debate en torno a la numismática de la familia Bárquida como una evidencia de que sus políticas eran una imitación de los reinos griegos del Mediterráneo oriental, entre otros aspectos por la inclusión del elefante en sus reversos. Por nuestra parte, a través de un análisis iconográfico del elefante en la numismática helenística valoraremos los elementos de continuidad y ruptura en el caso Bárquida, para matizar los prejuicios y mitos surgidos a partir de las corrientes historiográficas. Basándonos en ello, podemos hablar de una adaptación de la ideología del poder griega a los modelos púnicos de Occidente.
One of the most discussed topics in historiography of the ancient world, both past and present, is the Hellenistic influence in the North African city of Carthage. In particular, an intense debate has arisen around the numismatics of the Barcid family as evidence that their policies were an imitation of the Greek kingdoms of the Eastern Mediterranean, among other things because of the inclusion of the elephant in their reverses. For our part, through an iconographic analysis of the elephant in Hellenistic numismatics, we will assess the elements of continuity and rupture in the Barcid case to qualify the prejudices and myths that emerged from historiographic trends. Based on this, we can speak of an adaptation of the Greek ideology of power to the Punic models of the West.
La epigrafía votiva romana de Caldas de Montbui (Vallés Oriental, Barcelona) (ss. I-II d. C.). Un ejemplo de promoción de las élites provinciales de la tarraconensis en centros de aguas minero- medicinales

En el presente artículo estudiamos en profundidad las inscripciones votivas de Caldas de Montbui. Para ello, nos vamos a centrar en el estudio epigráfico con una metodología basada en el registro material consultado de primera mano, las publicaciones científicas relacionadas con nuestra investigación y las fuentes primarias. Según la información recopilada, proponemos la importancia de la segunda mitad del siglo I d. C. e inicios del siglo II d. C. en la manifestación del hábito epigráfico, claro síntoma de una fase de popularidad con la presencia de personajes de las élites provinciales procedentes de ciudades como Barcino, Iluro o Tarraco. Con la investigación realizada, observamos la gran evolución e impulso que adquiere este enclave durante todo el siglo I d. C., siendo un aspecto determinante en este proceso el patrocinio imperial de Tiberio y la dinastía flavia.
In this paper we study the votive inscriptions of Caldas de Montbui in depth. To do this we focus, mainly, on epigraphic study following a methodology based on the material record personally consulted, the scientific publications linked to our research and the primary sources. According to the information gathered, we propose the importance of the second half of the 1st century AD and the beginning of the 2nd century AD in the manifestation of the epigraphic habit. It happens as a clear symptom regarding the popularity of relevant figures from provincial elites established in cities like Barcino, Iluro or Tarraco. Along with the research carried out, we observe the great evolution and impulse that this enclave acquires during the 1st century AD, being the imperial patronage of Tiberius a decisive aspect in this process, and later the Flavian dynasty.
La empatía como elemento para la adquisición del pensamiento histórico en alumnos de bachillerato. Un estudio de caso centrado en la Guerra Civil española y el franquismo
Authors: Molina Puche Sebastián , Salmerón Ayala Adrián 
Published: October 2020

Este trabajo se centra en el análisis de la adquisición de la empatía histórica, una de las dimensiones de las llamadas competencias históricas, por parte de un grupo de alumnos de 2.º de Bachillerato de un centro educativo de la Región de Murcia. A partir de la realización de un juego de rol evolutivo ambientado en la Guerra Civil y el Franquismo, se ha realizado un estudio descriptivo con metodología cualitativa a partir de los datos obtenidos de la aplicación de varios instrumentos (relatos elaborados por el alumnado y un cuestionario), que estaban orientados a evaluar el nivel de adquisición de esa dimensión del pensamiento histórico. En este caso, aunque los resultados avalan la eficacia del programa (el 75% de los alumnos alcanza un nivel medio o alto de comprensión empática), las implicaciones en la mejora del rendimiento académico del alumnado son relativas.
This paper focuses on the analysis of the acquisition of historical empathy, one of the dimensions of the so-called historical competences, by a group of students of 2nd Baccalaureate from an educational centre in the Region of Murcia. From the realization of an evolutionary role play set in the Civil War and Franco, a descriptive study has been carried out with qualitative methodology in which the data obtained in various instruments (stories prepared by students and one questionnaire), have been analysed to try to assess the level of acquisition of that dimension of historical thinking. In this case, although the results endorse the effectiveness of the program (75% of students reach a medium or high level of empathic understanding), they also denote that the implications for improving student academic performance are relative.

Published: October 2020

Se presenta un estudio realizado en la Universidad de Valladolid con alumnado del Grado en Educación Infantil, que tiene como objetivo analizar los niveles de empatía histórica, tanto en su dimensión cognitiva como en la afectivo-emocional, a partir del trabajo con fuentes orales. Se diseña un modelo de investigación que, desde un paradigma metodológico cualitativo, y utilizando el software ATLAS.ti, se centra en el análisis de narrativas de estudiantes elaboradas en un ejercicio de empatía histórica, planteado a partir del trabajo con testimonios de dos emigrantes canarias que pasaron algunos años de su infancia y adolescencia en el Sáhara Español. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que el trabajo del alumnado con fuentes orales optimiza explicaciones contextualizadas por empatía histórica.
This paper presents a study carried out at the University of Valladolid (Spain) with students enrolled in the Early Childhood Education Bachelor’s Degree. Historical empathy levels are examined, both in their cognitive and affective-emotional dimensions, in connection with the use of oral sources. A research model based on the qualitative methodological paradigm has been designed, and the ATLAS.ti software has been used to analyze narratives created by students after an intervention in order to foster historical empathy. The intervention focused on the examination of testimonies provided by two Canarian emigrants who spent a few years of their childhood and adolescence in the Spanish Sahara. The results show that the students' work with oral sources can optimize contextualized explanations mediated by historical empathy.
The instructional theory framework appears lost. Isn’t it time we find it again?
Authors: Reigeluth Charles M. , Honebein Peter 
Published: October 2020

La mayoría de los investigadores que diseñan experiencias innovadoras de aprendizaje digital y luego realizan investigaciones que investigan la utilidad de esas experiencias de aprendizaje, no aplican completamente la teoría de la instrucción (Reigeluth, 1983, 1999; Reigeluth y Carr-Chellman, 2009a) como la base de sus diseños y El foco de su investigación. Esta elección impacta negativamente el juicio de diseño de los investigadores (Boling, et al.2017) y su credibilidad como garantes del diseño (Stolterman y Nelson, 2000). Esto finalmente conduce a barreras de difusión cuando se difunden sus innovaciones de aprendizaje digital. El propósito de este documento es ayudar a los investigadores y diseñadores de experiencias de aprendizaje a superar estas barreras de difusión al adoptar la teoría de la instrucción como base para sus diseños y utilizar seis principios para realizar investigaciones alineadas con la teoría de la instrucción: 1) Conocer los sistemas complejos cualitativamente, 2) Valor los fundamentos del diseño del tratamiento, 3) Practique una consideración imparcial de los métodos de instrucción, 4) Respete el triángulo de hierro del diseño de instrucción, 5) Distinga entre métodos y medios, y 6) Conozca su teoría de diseño de instrucción personal.
Most researchers who design innovative digital learning experiences, and then conduct research that investigates the usefulness of those learning experiences, fail to fully apply instructional theory (Reigeluth, 1983, 1999; Reigeluth & Carr-Chellman, 2009a) as the foundation of their designs and the focus of their research. This choice negatively impacts researchers’ design judgment (Boling, et al. 2017) and their credibility as the guarantor of design (Stolterman & Nelson, 2000). This ultimately leads to diffusion barriers when disseminating their digital learning innovations. The purpose of this paper is to help researchers and learning-experience designers overcome these diffusion barriers by embracing instructional theory as the foundation for their designs and using six principles for conducting research aligned with instructional theory: 1) Know complex systems qualitatively, 2) Value the treatment design fundamentals, 3) Practice unbiased consideration of instructional methods, 4) Respect the instructional design iron triangle, 5) Differentiate between methods and media, and 6) Know your personal instructional design theory.
Cerebral Embolism Beyond Atrial Fibrillation: Interatrial Block
Authors: Martínez-Sellés Helena , Ayesta Ana , Martínez-Sellés Manuel 
Published: October 2020

This paper is devoted to conditions that imply a risk for cerebral embolism beyond atrial fibrillation (AF). We focus on advanced interatrial block (IAB) and its relationship with stroke in elderly patients with no documented arrhythmias. Advanced IAB is manifested in the surface electrocardiogram (ECG) as a P-wave duration >120 ms plus biphasic morphology (positive and negative deflection) in leads II, III, and aVF. Several data suggest that AF is not necessarily the leading cause of stroke, but rather a risk factor. In fact, a high stroke risk has been described even in the absence of AF in patients with high CHA2DS2VASc-score (Congestive Heart failure, hypertension, Age ≥75 years [doubled], Diabetes, Stroke [doubled], Vascular disease, Age 65-74 years, Sex category [female sex]). Moreover, excessive atrial ectopy and short atrial runs also increase stroke risk. Some of the previously mentioned stroke risk factors in patients without documented arrhythmias might be combined to determine thrombotic risk. That risk is particularly high in elderly patients with advanced IAB, structural heart disease, CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥3, and frequent ambient atrial arrhythmias. Systematic screening for advanced IAB in elderly patients can be performed with a simple surface ECG. Advanced IAB is a risk marker of stroke.
