Authors: Paige R. Michael , Cohen Andrew D. , Shively Rachel L. 
Published: January 2020

The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of the study abroad experience, in general, and the impact of a curriculum intervention, in particular, on students’ intercultural development, second language acquisition, and employment of learning strategies related to language and culture. Cohen and Paige – two of the authors of this article – were the senior authors of a three-volume set of guidebooks, the Maximizing Study Abroad Guides which were intended to enhance overseas students’ language and culture learning through a strategies-based approach. By utilizing a scientifically rigorous set of research procedures, we sought to ascertain the impact and efficacy of the Students’ Guide – one of the volumes in the series – as well as to test a set of hypotheses about the learning outcomes associated with study abroad.
Why Are They Better Students When They Come Back? Determinants of Academic Focusing Gains in the Study Abroad Experience
Authors: Hadis Benjamin F. 
Published: January 2020

The purpose of this article is to explore the cluster of experiences that participants in study abroad go through — both during their sojourn abroad and immediately upon return — and how these experiences enhance shifts in their individual priorities. I will discuss to what extent, and why, some study abroad participants bring their academic endeavors to the forefront of their interests when they return to their home colleges. Since the experiences of study abroad program participants are many, eye-opening, and quite complex, this article will also explore the intricate and multiple determinations of the changes in the participants. With the help of multiple regression and path analyses, I will lay out a model that charts those changes, their consequences, and mutual determinations.
An Infusion Approach to Internationalization: Drake University as a Case Study
Authors: Skidmore David , Marston Jan , Olson Gretchen 
Published: January 2020

The idea that international perspectives should be represented throughout the curriculum lies at the heart of the American Council on Education’s “Global Learning for All” initiative, which asserts that: “…international and global learning is important for all students—not just an elite few—and should be integral to every degree program." Drake University’s own internationalization program, still in its early stages, combines a number of elements that fit its particular needs as a medium-sized (approximately 3,000 undergraduates), private, comprehensive university located in the Midwest.
The Transcultural Journey
Authors: Slimbach Richard 
Published: January 2020

Today, who we are (by birth) and where we are (by choice) is not as relevant as it once was. More persons than ever before are pursuing lives that link the local and the global. They are becoming increasingly transcultural —physically or electronically connected with diverse peoples, and involved in decision-making that is influenced by, and in turn influences, the affairs of a global society. Transcultural persons may be sustained through transnational corporations, grassroots organizations, professional societies, and advocacy groups. But they are also identified at the level of simple, cross-cultural friendships made with residents of local communities.
O Confessional para além do íntimo: luto como efeito estético na escritura de Virginia Woolf
Authors: Fontenele Laéria , Alverne Larissa Arruda Aguiar , Ferreira Nadiá 
Published: January 2020

Propomo-nos, a partir de dados obtidos em estudos antes realizados, a discorrer sobre algumas das marcas do universo literário de Virgínia Woolf. Para tanto, levaremos em consideração uma particularidade de sua escritura: a recorrente e impactante presença da morte em sua narrativa, a qual revelou-se ser o índice de um modo de defesa frente ao encontro com o real. Considera-se que o caráter confessional de sua escritura assume uma forma e função inédita na literatura moderna, não podendo ser entendido a não ser em referência à dificuldade experimentada pela escritora em enfrentar os lutos sucessivos de familiares e pessoas que lhe eram queridas, o que a levou a se fazer valer da criação como forma de auxílio à lida com a dimensão inassimilável dessas perdas. Ao contrário de outras narrativas de caráter confessional, que primam pela produção da atmosfera do íntimo, defendemos que a sua produz, diferentemente, no leitor, o luto como efeito estético, contaminando-o com o sem sentido da existência.

Analysis of Factors Inluencing Public Capital Investment in Nigeria
Authors: Omodero Cordelia Onyinyechi 
Published: January 2020

There are several factors that affect successful execution of public capital projects in every economy. This study specifically investigates the influences of selected macroeconomic factors such as: inflation, exchange rate, total expenditure, population, debt servicing and Real GDP on government capital investments using data that cover a period from 2000 to 2017. Using ordinary least squares technique, the findings reveal that Real GDP and population have insignificant negative impact on capital investments, while debt servicing has a significant negative influence on government capital expenditure. Inflation rate does not exert any influence but exchange rate and total expenditure have significant positive impact on capital expenditure. The implication is that a lot of funds go into debt servicing, thereby denying the masses of adequate infrastructural provisions. Due to poor funding of local industries, they lack the capacity to affect the economy positively such that the size of the Real GDP is negatively influencing the public capital investment. Therefore, the study has made some recommendations which could help our policy makers in their decision to ensure that investment in capital projects and infrastructures in the country is given the basic consideration to achieve its economic objectives. Above all the domestic industries and agriculture should be well financed since inflows from them can help to carry out more capital projects and reduce the country’s level of borrowing.
Corruption in Secondary Schools: Administrative Strategies for Its’ Management
Authors: Asiyai Romina Ifeoma 
Published: January 2020

Corruption is one of the global issues impeding systems effectiveness which has permeated the education system in Africa and Nigeria in particular. This study examined corruption in public secondary schools with the purpose of indenting the forms of corruption prevalent, the perpetrators of corruption, the effects of corruption and the administrative strategies for managing corruption in schools. Ex-post facto research design was employed in this qualitative research. The perceptions of 1160 respondents made up of students, teachers and principals were sought by the use of questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed in analysis of data. The results revealed that several forms of corruption were prevalent in secondary schools in the state. The perpetrators of corruption were identified. The effects of corruption showed that it lowers the quality of teaching and learning, lowers the quality of students learning outcomes and dents the public image of the institutions. The study indentified several administrative strategies for curbing corruption in secondary schools as ensuring that teachers are paid good salary commensurate with the standard of living in the society, formation of anti-corruption clubs, proper value re-orientation, character education and by check mating the movement of teachers during school hours. In conclusion, the study recommends that to increase the awareness of students and staff, principals should encourage the formation of anti-corruption clubs and encourage debates and essay writings on corruption related topics in order to help sensitize staff and students about corruption and the evils associated with it.

Phase-apodized-pupil Lyot Coronagraphs for Arbitrary Telescope Pupils
Authors: Por Emiel H. 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
The phase-apodized-pupil Lyot coronagraph (PAPLC) is a pairing of the apodized-pupil Lyot coronagraph and the apodizing phase plate (APP) coronagraph. We describe a numerical optimization method to obtain globally optimal solutions for the phase apodizers for arbitrary telescope pupils, based on the linear map between complex-amplitude transmission of the apodizer and the electric field in the post-coronagraphic focal plane. PAPLCs with annular focal-plane masks and point-symmetric dark zones perform analogous to their corresponding APLCs. However, with a knife-edge focal-plane mask and one-sided dark zones, the PAPLC yields inner working angles as close as 1.4λ/D at contrasts of 10−10 and a maximum post-coronagraphic throughput of >75% for telescope apertures with central obscurations of up to 30%. We present knife-edge PAPLC designs optimized for the VLT/SPHERE instrument and the LUVOIR-A aperture. These designs show that the knife-edge PAPLC retains its performance, even for realistic telescope pupils with struts, segments, and non-circular outer edges.
Line Lists for the
State of CS
Authors: Hou Shilin , Wei Zhengxing 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Rotation-vibrational line lists for eight isotopologues of carbon monosulphide (CS; 12C32S, 12C33S, 12C34S, 12C36S,13C32S, 13C33S,13C34S, and 13C36S) in their ground electronic state (X1Σ+) are calculated. An empirical potential function with the corrections of Born–Oppenheimer breakdown effects, which are determined by a direct potential fitting approach using over 4300 observed transition frequencies of 12C32S, 12C33S, 12C34S, and 13C32S, is used in line list calculations. The reproduced transition frequencies are within the observation uncertainties for the isotopologues with experimental data. The dipole moment functions are calculated using an ab initio method at a multireference configuration interaction method/cc-pv5z level with a large active space of electronic configuration. The dipole moment at equilibrium nuclear separation is almost identical to the experimental result. The calculated intensities agree excellently with the laboratory observations at 2573 K. The corresponding Einstein A coefficients and oscillator strengths are predicted. Partition functions for temperatures up to 7500 K have been calculated. The line lists can be used for spectroscopic measurements of CS in astronomical environments of various temperatures.

Abstract
We succeeded in observing two large spicules simultaneously with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS), and the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory. One is a spicule seen in the IRIS Mg ii slit-jaw images and AIA 304 Å images (Mg ii/304 Å spicule). The other one is a spicule seen in the 100 GHz images obtained with ALMA (100 GHz spicule). Although the 100 GHz spicule overlapped with the Mg ii/304 Å spicule in the early phase, it did not show any corresponding structures in the IRIS Mg ii and AIA 304 Å images after the early phase. It suggests that the spicules are individual events and do not have a physical relationship. To obtain the physical parameters of the 100 GHz spicule, we estimate the optical depths as a function of temperature and density using two different methods. One is using the observed brightness temperature by assuming a filling factor, and the other is using an emission model for the optical depth. As a result of comparing them, the kinetic temperature of the plasma and the number density of ionized hydrogen in the 100 GHz spicule are ∼6800 K and 2.2 × 1010 cm−3. The estimated values can explain the absorbing structure in the 193 Å image, which appear as a counterpart of the 100 GHz spicule. These results suggest that the 100 GHz spicule presented in this Letter is classified to a macrospicule without a hot sheath in former terminology.

Abstract
The relative average minimum projected separations of star clusters in the Legacy ExtraGalactic UV Survey (LEGUS) and in tidal dwarfs around the interacting galaxy NGC 5291 are determined as a function of cluster mass to look for cluster–cluster mass segregation. Class 2 and 3 LEGUS clusters, which have a more irregular internal structure than the compact and symmetric class 1 clusters, are found to be mass-segregated in low-mass galaxies, which means that the more massive clusters are systematically bunched together compared to the lower-mass clusters. This mass segregation is not present in high-mass galaxies or class 1 clusters. We consider possible causes for this segregation, including differences in cluster formation and scattering in the shallow gravitational potentials of low-mass galaxies.
Precise Measurements of the Speed of Light with High-redshift Quasars: Ultra-compact Radio Structure and Strong Gravitational Lensing
Authors: Cao Shuo , Qi Jingzhao , Biesiada Marek , Liu Tonghua , Zhu Zong-Hong 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Although the speed of light has been measured with very high precision, most of these measurements were carried out on Earth or in our close cosmic surroundings. In this Letter, we propose an original idea to combine the observations of ultra-compact structure in radio quasars and strong gravitational lensing with quasars acting as background sources to estimate the speed of light. The method will provide precise measurements of the speed of light using extragalactic objects at different redshifts. We evaluate if current or future missions such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) and Dark Energy Survey (DES) can be sensitive enough to detect any variation of c. Our results show that strongly lensed quasars observed by LSST would produce robust constraints on Δc/c at the level of 10−4, if the compact radio structure measurements are available.
Observational Experiential Learning: Theoretical Support for Observer Roles in Health Care Simulation
Authors: Johnson Brandon Kyle 
Published: January 2020

Background:Confusion remains about the use of the observer role in simulation. Observational learning is an emerging form of brain-based learning that is applicable to experiential learning and simulation, warranting the further exploration of theoretical foundations. This article describes how observational experiential learning theoretically supports the use of observer roles in simulation.Method:Constructs and concepts from experiential learning and observational learning theories were explored in tandem with brain-based learning evidence from different disciplines.Results:Observational experiential learning was developed by merging these theories together in simulation and debriefing to support both observer and participant roles for learning outcomes.Conclusion:Observational experiential learning incorporates experiential learning, social learning, and social cognitive theories to support the use of the observer role. Educators should consider strategies to foster attention and motivation through prebriefing, debriefing, and observational brain-based learning protocols.[J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(1):7–14.]

Authors: Markaki Adelais , Wingo Nancy , Watts Penni , Steadman Laura , Coles Karen , Rae Tania , Theus Lisa , Ortega Johis 
Published: January 2020

Background:
Global organizations urge toward transformative, lifelong learning for nurses and midwives. Throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, strengthening the quality of nursing and midwifery education is top priority. A regional partnership of World Health Organization Collaborating Centers aimed to develop a user-friendly, culturally relevant, and adaptable educational quality improvement intervention.

Method:
Following the five-step ADDIE process, experts analyzed objectives and needs, designed activities and assessments, and determined optimum delivery of course content. A self-directed, asynchronous online course was developed, in line with regional needs and mandates. Three sequential online educational modules for English-speaking and Spanish-speaking nurse and midwife educators focused on (a) principles of teaching and learning, (b) instructional strategies, and (c) methods to evaluate students and courses. Content and design were externally reviewed and culturally adapted.

Conclusion:

Upon completion of pilot testing and evaluation, final course versions in both languages are expected to become freely accessible.

Published: January 2020

Background:
A systematic evaluation plan is required in nursing education to determine achievement of curricular initiatives and to improve program student learning outcomes. An innovative approach that included direct involvement of students was implemented in the evaluation of a quality improvement (QI) initiative aimed at enhancing student success.

Method:
Through the use of action research (AR), students became coresearchers to critically appraise educational strategies implemented in an undergraduate curriculum improvement plan.

Results:
The purpose of this article is to describe the student and faculty reflections and experiences while using AR to evaluate outcomes in an undergraduate QI project. Two critical variables were discovered based upon student voice, which changed the course of the project.

Conclusion:

Action research methodology successfully increased the rigor of evaluating a QI initiative by a faculty–student research team. Student voices uncovered two powerful variables which expanded the project to effectively improve nursing education.
