The effects of explicit pronunciation instruction on the production of second language Spanish voiceless stops
Authors: Camus Pablo 
Published: August 2019

The present study examines the effectiveness of second language explicit pronunciation instruction of adult second language (L2) learners of Spanish in a classroom setting. This study seeks to shed light on the effectiveness of teaching pronunciation while considering the level of instruction of first, second and third year students. Eighty-three learners of Spanish as an L2 were recruited to participate in a control (n = 45) or experimental (n = 38) group. From the beginning to the end of a twelve-week semester, participants in the experimental condition received instruction on typically difficult segments in L2-Spanish for first language (L1) English speakers. Pronunciation gains were measured acoustically by a word-reading task and the target structures were Spanish voiceless stops /p, t, k/. Results suggest that pronunciation instruction is beneficial to all voiceless stops. After a semester of instruction, the experimental group reduced their voice onset time (VOT) and reached native speakers’ range, while no difference was observed in the control group. Additionally, instruction was beneficial at each curricular level, suggesting that pronunciation instruction should be part of the L2-Spanish curricular sequence at multiple levels. Results are discussed in terms of the theoretical, methodological and pedagogical implications of these findings and special emphasis is placed on the advantages of pronunciation instruction. A call is made for more teachers and practitioners to include pronunciation instruction in the L2-Spanish classroom.
Why Not More Comics?
Authors: Burt Stephanie 
Published: August 2019

Why comics? “All that it isNecessaryto say … upon this subject, may be effected by affirming, what few persons will deny, that, of two descriptions, either of passions, manners, or characters, each of them equally well executed, the one in prose and the other in comics, the comics will be read a hundred times where the prose is read once.” That's not exactly what William Wordsworth wrote in his Preface toLyrical Ballads,of course—he had “verse” where I have “comics” (112). Nor did Wordsworth say that the pleasure of seeing expressive, hand-drawn characters could producea complex feeling of delight, which is of the most important use in tempering the painful feeling always found intermingled with powerful descriptions of the deeper passions … while, in lighter compositions, the ease and gracefulness with which artists manage their lines are themselves confessedly a principal source of the gratification of the Reader.

Published: August 2019

» Conservative management with bracing and physical therapy remains the treatment of choice following acute, first-time dislocation in adolescent patients, but certain high-risk individuals may benefit from a surgical procedure as a first-line treatment.» The physical therapist is intimately involved in patient care regardless of the chosen treatment strategy and must set realistic expectations to improve compliance and to minimize frustration. Through comprehensive biomechanical evaluation, factors such as quadriceps and hip abductor weakness that contribute to patellar dislocation are identified and are addressed.» Surgical intervention consists of medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction alongside an á la carte approach to correcting other anatomic abnormalities. In the adolescent population, open growth plates dictate available surgical options, and care must be taken to avoid physeal damage.» Given the propensity for recurrent instability, a thorough team approach is needed from the outset to successfully guide the patient through the treatment and recovery process.

In facing the 4.0. Industrial revolution era, the usage of technology becomes a prominent needs to enhance the opportunity of learning for Family Planning Field Worker (PKB) in East Java. Therefore a media should be developed to transfer the knowledge of learning material, especially for Kampung KB material as the priority program of Indonesian Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN) towards all PKB in East Java. The study aims to determine the appropriateness of mobile learning media to develop the learning outcomes of East Java’s PKB in mastering Kampung KB management training material. It uses research development method by Borg and Gall (2003). The results indicates that it is proper since the value of the individual test is 93.94%, 88.64% in the small group test, and 87.87% in the large group test. The effectiveness of the media is proven by the average value of the experimental class posttest of = 77.17 while the pretest is only 46.33. The posttest significance value of the experimental class was 0.181> 0.05, so that there were differences in learning outcomes between before and after learning using mobile learning media in the Kampong Management training material
Well-Testing Challenges in Unconventional and Tight-Gas-Formation Reservoirs
Authors: Azari Mehdi , Hamza Farrukh , Hadibeik Hamid , Ramakrishna Sandeep 
Published: August 2019

Summary
Well–testing techniques provide valuable reservoir information, which is used to evaluate production potential and helps make development and completion decisions. Traditionally, newly drilled wells are tested using a drillstem test (DST) or wireline formation test (WFT). These methods are typically designed to flow the well under controlled conditions and then shut in the flow to achieve a pressure buildup (PBU).
In this paper, we present eight case studies to highlight well–testing challenges in tight–gas–formation wells in unconventional reservoirs. These challenges are accompanied by methods and solutions to adequately address them. During the first two cases, the duration of the PBU was not long enough to overcome high wellbore storage and reach radial flow. This was because of surface shut–in. A simulation is provided for Case 2 to highlight the importance of downhole shut–in. A hydraulically fractured, horizontal, tight–gas–formation well is presented in Case 3, where a 46–day–long PBU was conducted. However, owing to low permeability and high wellbore storage (WBS), this still resulted in a nonunique solution. The use of a wireline–conveyed formation tester to mitigate WBS effects is presented in Cases 4, 6, and 7. Case 5 is an example of a surface diagnostic fracture injection test (DFIT), with surface shut–in. In addition to the conventional PBU analysis, microfracturing and subsequent fluid sampling from tight formations have also been discussed. Finally, an injection/falloff (IFO) case is presented in a hydraulically fractured formation to discuss the challenges and solutions.
Because of controlled rates with an IFO test in low–permeability wells, faster flow stabilization can be achieved, resulting in shorter WBS durations. This technique can obtain well and reservoir information faster than a conventional PBU test. One issue with unconventional wells, particularly tight–gas–formation wells, is that the WBS lasts significantly longer than in standard wells. A downhole shut–in tool or any test that minimizes the WBS effects can greatly reduce the duration of such tests and help improve the quality of the analysis results. A discussion on formation compressibility has been provided to highlight the shortcomings of the traditional Hall's correlation for application in unconventional formations. This paper discusses several well–testing applications with corresponding analyses pertaining to unconventional wells. The results provided valuable information to help optimize production and evaluate reservoir potential.

Abstract
BackgroundMicronutrient deficiencies including selenium (Se) are widespread in Malawi and potentially underlie a substantial disease burden, particularly among poorer and marginalised populations. Concentrations of Se in staple cereal crops can be increased through application of Se fertilisers – a process known as agronomic (agro-) biofortification – and this may contribute to alleviating deficiencies. The Addressing Hidden Hunger with Agronomy (AHHA) trial aims to establish the efficacy of this approach for improving Se status in rural Malawi.MethodsA double-blind, randomised, controlled trial will be conducted in a rural community in Kasungu District, Central Region, Malawi. The hypothesis is that consumption of maize flour agro-biofortified with Se will increase serum Se concentration. We will recruit 180 women of reproductive age (WRA; 20–45 years) and 180 school-aged children (SAC; 5–10 years) randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive either maize flour enriched through agro-biofortification with Se or a control flour not enriched with Se. Households will receive flour (330 g [i]capita[/i]-1 day-1) for 12 weeks. The primary outcome is Se concentration in serum (µg L-1). Serum will be extracted from venous blood samples drawn at baseline (prior to flour distribution) and end-line. Selenium concentration will be measured using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS).DiscussionFindings will be communicated to policy stakeholders and participating communities and reported in peer-reviewed journals.

Leadership training in medical students using systemic awareness: an evaluation study
Authors: Scholtens Salome , Boer Hedwig , Smit Margreet , Stam Jan Jacob , Schmitt Antje , Fleer Joke 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
BACKGROUNDThe growing demand for the development of leadership skills among medical students is widely recognized. For leadership development to occur, awareness of the organisational and social context and the impact of this context on personal and group functioning and well-being is essential. However, this social context awareness is largely based on tacit or implicit knowledge. We argue that the systemic training approach with the method of systemic constellations, is effective in making this implicit knowledge explicit and enhancing social context awareness. The systemic training approach is already widely used in business settings for leadership development and team building, but has not been applied in the medical education setting. It offers active and experiential learning and supports transformative learning. The aims of this research are (1) to evaluate the reaction of medical bachelor students on this novel approach for systemic awareness training and (2) to investigate if type of trainer (i.e., experienced systemic trainers versus newly trained systemic trainers with experience in the medical teaching setting) makes a difference for students’ reaction on the training.METHODIn 2018 and 2019, we included systemic awareness training in the medical curriculum of the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. We evaluated the training in approximately 300 third-year medical bachelor students right after finishing the training. RESULTS Most students liked the training (64.1%, N=143), 17.0% (N=38) were neutral and 18.8% (N=42) did not like it. The training gave useful insights to 148 students (66.4%) and for the majority, timing of the training was appropriate (N=164, 77.0%). Having trainers who were familiar with teaching medical students significantly increased students’ reports of liking and usefulness.CONCLUSIONSSystemic awareness training using the constellations method is liked and regarded as useful, especially when it is given by systemic trainers with experience in the medical teaching setting. A next step is to investigate whether such a training increases systemic awareness and as such contributes to medical students’ leadership development.

Abstract
Background

Carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae strains have recently come into existence worldwide; however, researchers in northeast China are not aware of their clinical features and molecular characteristics.

Methods

Here, the molecular and virulent characteristics of 44 carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) isolates collected from January 2015 to December 2017 were studied. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) were carried out to define the clonal relatedness among the isolates. PCR and capsular serotyping of the virulence-associated genes, as well as biofilm formation and serum complement-mediated killing assays, were employed to determine the virulent potential. The genomic features and associated mobile genetic elements of JmsCRE57 were detected by whole genome sequencing.

Results

The only positive isolate was JmsCRE57, which belonged to the ST375 serotype K2 that expressed uge, mrkD, fimH, kpn, aerobactin and rmpA virulence-associated genes and showed strong biofilm formation and serum sensitivity. Sequencing results showed that the JmsCRE57 genome mainly consisted of a circular chromosome, three antibiotic resistance plasmids and a virulent plasmid. The antibiotic resistance plasmid expressing blaKPC-2, blaCTX-M-15, aph(3'')-Ib, aph(6)-Id, qnrB1, aac(3)-IIa, aac(6')-Ib-cr, blaOXA-1, blaTEM-1B, catB4, sul2, dfrA14 and blaSHV-99. The virulent plasmid belonged to the IncHI1B group, which is mainly composed of mucoid phenotype genes and siderophore-associated genes. The remaining CRKP strains that expressed uge, fimH, mrkD and kpn virulence-associated genes were not successfully typed.

Conclusion

Our results provide new insights on the epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant K2 hypervirulent K. pneumoniae ST375 and CRKP ST76 strains in northeast China, which may help control their future outbreaks.
The side effects of service changes: exploring the longitudinal impact of participation in a randomised controlled trial (DOORWAYS) on staff perceptions of barriers to change
Authors: Laker Caroline , Cella Matteo , Callard Felicity , Wykes Til 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Background

Staff and service users have expressed concerns that service improvements in U.K. mental health wards have been slow or transient. It is possible that certain changes are positive for some (e.g. service users), but negative for others (e.g. staff), which may affect implementation success. In this study, we explore whether a programme of change to improve the therapeutic milieu on mental health wards influenced staff perceptions of barriers to change, 12 months after implementation.

Method

A cluster randomised controlled trial called DOORWAYS was conducted on eight inner-city U.K. acute mental health wards. Randomisation was achieved using a list randomly generated by a computer. A psychologist trained ward staff (mainly nurses) to deliver evidence-based groups and supported their initial implementation. The impact of these changes was measured over 12 months (when 4 wards were randomised), according to nurses’ perceptions of barriers to change (VOCALISE), using unstructured multivariate linear regression models. This innovative analysis method allows maximum use of data in randomised controlled trials with reduced sample sizes due to substantial drop out rates. The contextual influences of occupational status (staff) and of workplace setting (ward) were also considered.

Results

Staff who participated in the intervention had significantly worse perceptions of barriers to change at follow up. The perceptions of staff in the control group did not change over time. In both groups (N=120), direct care staff had more negative perceptions of barriers to change, and perceptions varied according to ward. Across time, direct care staff in the intervention group became more negative than those in the control group.

Conclusion

Participation in this program of change, worsened staff perceptions of barriers to change. In addition, occupational status (being from the direct care group) had a negative effect on perceptions of barriers to change, an effect that continued across time and was worse in the intervention group. Those providing direct care should be offered extra support when changes are introduced and through the implementation process. More effort should be placed around reducing the perceived burden of innovation for staff in mental health wards.
