Engage Engineering Students In Homework: Attribution Of Low Completion And Suggestions For Interventions
Authors: Li Wenshu , Bennett Richard M. , Olsen Taimi , McCord Rachel 
Published: July 2018

Homework is an important out-of-class activity, crucial to student success in engineering courses. However, in a first-semester freshman engineering course, approximately one-fourth of students were completing less than 80% of the homework. The purpose of this study was to examine students’ attribution of their low completion of homework and suggest corresponding interventions to help students with different attribution types. A qualitative approach was applied using semi-structured interviews for data collection. The interviewees were students who were on track to complete less than 80% of the homework. Students in the study attributed their low rates of completion to multiple factors. We coded and summarized students’ attributions of homework incompletion according to Weiner’s attribution theory and suggested corresponding interventions for students with different attribution types. Results show that most students attributed their failure to complete their homework to external reasons rather than internal reasons. A large portion of student’s attributions for low homework completion was due to poor time management skills. Some students attributed low homework completion to unstable factors such as illness, transition, or adjustment problems. A small portion attributed low homework completion to uncontrollable reasons, such as sickness and homework difficulty. Students’ reasons for homework incompletion varied across the three dimensions of Weiner’s attribution theory suggesting that a variety of intervention techniques is required. In addition to use of widely adopted interventions such as first year seminars, tutoring, and tutorial sessions, intervention techniques based on attribution theory may be necessary to employ, to help students avoid negative emotional and behavioral consequences of homework incompletion.

Published: July 2018

An adequate supply of a high quality labor force is crucial for national economic and social well-being; consequently, nations worldwide have placed significant emphasis on university graduate employability. Nonetheless, in Taiwan, a mismatch between knowledge acquired in universities and competences required by the job market has dramatically encumbered the supply of a high quality labor force. Thus, this research endeavored to determine the major career services that should be offered in higher educational institutions to alleviate the aforementioned human resource problems.The analytic hierarchy process was adopted as the major instrument for calculating the relative importance of each career service task, and 169 university alumni working in four major career fields participated in this research. The results indicated that participants from different career fields and who graduated from different colleges at different times have very different opinions of job service requests; therefore, universities should seriously consider the differences among students and provide the necessary services for each student in line with his/her particular requests. Moreover, although almost all participants agreed that sharpening students’ job-search and interview skills was crucial in assisting students to find their first jobs, this service was extremely insufficient in universities, and universities thus have to place particular emphasis on this task in the future.

Authors: McMahan Shari , Lopez-Wagner Muriel C. 
Published: July 2018

The California State University launched its Graduation Initiative 2025 in January 2015 with a clear goal to increase graduation rates for our 475,000 students across all 23 campuses. The Graduation Initiative 2025 will add 100,000 more baccalaureate degree-educated citizens to California over the next ten years and begin to meet workforce demands. Increasing graduation rates, particularly for first-generation students, requires a strategic, data-driven approach. California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) faces particular challenges as 81% of our undergraduate population are first-generation college students, 63% receive Pell Grant, and 56% of incoming first-year students require some form of developmental coursework in English, math, or both. Data-driven decision-making must be used to focus graduation efforts. CSUSB organizes data regarding college readiness, and enrollment characteristics as preparedness have a direct influence on time to degree. Data on persistence and progress towards the degree are also important to track when examining graduation rates as it helps identify areas to improve. Finally, data on completion and post-graduation are indicators to track the progress of the initiative and meeting workforce demands.

Authors: Carvalho Marieta Pinheiro de , Zampa Vivian Cristina da Silva 
Published: July 2018

O artigo tem como finalidade analisar a utilização de fontes históricas como um dos recursos pedagógico das aulas de História, enfatizando o movimento que vem se desenvolvendo nas últimas décadas no Brasil de aproximação entre o chamado “saber histórico escolar” e as recomendações institucionais para a Educação Básica. Nesse sentido, far-se-á um recorte a partir do acervo relativo à história colonial custodiado pelo Arquivo Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, que possibilita o redimensionamento de questões tradicionalmente não aprofundadas e que, por vezes, desperta um maior interesse discente. Ressalta-se, desta forma, que a relação do ensino de História com a problematização é um dos maiores desafios da atualidade, ao possibilitar, dentre outros, uma participação mais ativa e emancipadora dos alunos no processo de construção do conhecimento.

Published: July 2018

Background:
The indications and technique for the transtrochanteric approach to the hip have evolved greatly since its initial popularization in the 1960s. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess current uses of this approach on the basis of indications, osteotomy technique, trochanteric fixation method, complications, and functional outcome.

Methods:
A comprehensive search of MEDLINE and Embase databases from January 2000 to July 2017 was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Articles were divided into 3 major categories on the basis of the type of hip surgery performed: (1) primary arthroplasty, (2) revision arthroplasty, and (3) joint-preserving procedures. Patient data were then analyzed according to these 3 categories.

Results:
Seventy-six studies (5,028 hips), mainly of Level-IV evidence, were included. Four types of osteotomy were reported for a variety of indications. Rates of nonunion were 6.0% (303 of 5,028) across all studies, 4.2% (39 of 921) for primary arthroplasty, 6.7% (114 of 1,690) for revision arthroplasty, and 4.4% (56 of 1,278) for joint-preserving procedures. Rates of dislocation were 1.5% (14 of 921) for primary arthroplasty and 4.6% (77 of 1,690) for revision arthroplasty. The rate of osteonecrosis after joint-preserving procedures was 1.1% (14 of 1,278). Rates of deep infection were 1.1% (55 of 5,028) across all studies, 0.1% (1 of 921) for primary arthroplasty, 2.1% (36 of 1,690) for revision arthroplasty, and 0.6% (8 of 1,278) for joint-preserving procedures.

Conclusions:
The transtrochanteric approach remains useful in cases requiring extensile exposure of the acetabulum or femoral medullary canal. However, trochanteric complications continue to pose a clinical challenge.

Level of Evidence:
Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Published: July 2018

In the article, the author’s conception of image as a phenomenon ofinterpersonal relationship is represented. Historico-methodological andtheoretical bases of this conception creation are analysed elaborately.Image itself is showed as a character of the subject created in theinterpersonal relationship due to the cultural symbols. The image basesitself on the I-conception of subject. There are two plans that are worthy of being noted: the deep plan (image program, described by the concepts of “mission”, “purposes”, and “legends”) and external plan, represented by image-creating symbols (verbal and non-verbal).Number of research on formation and modelling the person’s imagehas proved the conception offered by the author.

Published: July 2018

The paradigm is defined as a contrast of a narradigm. The narradigm is a transformation from potentials of creative individuality into a set of cultural models in textual and narrative terms, and paradigm is quite the reverse, it is a displacement of the “subjective” by the “objective ” picture of the reality using the instruments and the rigorous scientific research procedures.
Historical period of the paradigm is divided into lengths which are called the phases of the paradigm: heuristical, magical, philosophical, scientific and the phase of astroregulation.In the first part of the article we describe the heuristical and magical phases of the paradigm.
Alzheimer´s Disease in the Perspective of Neuroimmunology
Authors: Maccioni Ricardo B. , González Andrea , Andrade Víctor , Cortés Nicole , Tapia José Pablo , Guzmán-Martínez Leonardo 
Published: July 2018

Background:Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder that includes the occurrence of behavioral disorders as well as memory and cognitive impairment as major symptoms. AD affects around 12% of the aged population in the world. Considerable research efforts have pointed to the role of innate immunity as the main culprit in the pathogenesis of AD. In this context, and according to with our neuroimmunomodulation theory, microglial activation modifies the cross-talks between microglia and neurons. We postulated that glial activation triggered by “damage signals” activates a pathological molecular cascade that finally leads to hyperphosphorylation and oligomerization of the tau protein. Interestingly, these modifications correlate with the gradual cognitive impairment of patients with the AD. Microglial activation is determined by the nature and strength of the stimulus. In the AD, a continuous activation state of microglia appears to generate neuronal injury and neurodegeneration, producing the outflow of pathological tau from the inner of neurons to the extraneuronal space. Released tau, together with the contribution of ApoE4 protein, would then produce reactivation of microglia, thus inducing a positive feedback that stimulates the vicious cycle in neurodegeneration.Conclusion:Nevertheless, from the pathophysiological perspective AD is significantly more than a loss of memory. In the initial stages of AD pathogenesis, variations in the dopaminergic pathway along with serotonin diminution play an important role. This may explain why depression is associated with the onset of AD. All these pathophysiological events take place together with immunomodulatory changes that trigger tau oligomerization in the course of neurofibrillary tangles formation. Interestingly, mood disorders appear to be followed by neuroinflammatory processes and structural/functional alterations that lead to cognitive impairment in the context of AD.
QoS Aware Multi-hop Multi-path Routing Approach in Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Singh Omkar , Rishiwal Vinay 
Published: July 2018

Background & Objective:
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consist of huge number of tiny
senor nodes. WSN collects environmental data and sends to the base station through multi-hop wireless
communication. QoS is the salient aspect in wireless sensor networks that satisfies end-to-end
QoS requirement on different parameters such as energy, network lifetime, packets delivery ratio and
delay. Among them Energy consumption is the most important and challenging factor in WSN, since
the senor nodes are made by battery reserved that tends towards life time of sensor networks.

Methods:
In this work an Improve-Energy Aware Multi-hop Multi-path Hierarchy (I-EAMMH) QoS
based routing approach has been proposed and evaluated that reduces energy consumption and delivers
data packets within time by selecting optimum cost path among discovered routes which extends
network life time.

Results and Conclusion:
Simulation has been done in MATLAB on varying number of rounds 400-
2000 to checked the performance of proposed approach. I-EAMMH is compared with existing routing
protocols namely EAMMH and LEACH and performs better in terms of end-to-end-delay, packet delivery
ratio, as well as reduces the energy consumption 13%-19% and prolongs network lifetime 9%-
14%.
