School Social Context, Students’ Self-Efficacy and Satisfaction in High School
Authors: Pedditzi Maria Luisa , Marcello Passarelli 
Published: December 2018

Background:
Several studies have focused on the relationship between context variables and self-efficacy. Among the social variables, limited attention has been given to social capital and teacher-student relationship in the school community.

Objective:
This study aims to explore how social capital in the school community and teacher-student relationship may influence students’ self-efficacy and school satisfaction. Furthermore, is it suggested that these relations change according to school grade or transition point,i.e. first and final year of high school, and in relation to the student’s gender.

Methods:
A total of number of 2,623 high school students in their first and final years filled in questionnaires in Italy. We used Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to test an ad hoc model that aimed to assess how the school context variables considered may influence students’ self-efficacy beliefs and school satisfaction.

Results:
Four different models were developed to categorise four different school grade sub-groups,i.e. first and final year students, and gender, i.e. boys and girls. The analyses of the results within the sub-samples reveal that social capital and teacher-student relationships influence students’ self-efficacy and school satisfaction differently.

Conclusion:
The results remarked the importance of differentiating guidance counselling for students in relation to specific transition and gender. Further implications for relevant educational practice are discussed at the end of this article.

Published: December 2018

Background:
This paper presents a fundamental study of protein manipulation under the
influence of dielectrophoretic (DEP) force for a lab-on-a-chip platform.

Objective:
Protein manipulation is dependent on the polarisation factor of protein when exposed to an
electric field. Therefore the objective of this work is a microfluidic device and measurement system
are used to characterise the human beta-2 microglobulin (β2M) protein via lateral attractive forces and
vertical repulsive forces by means of DEP responses.

Method:
The manipulation of the β2M protein was conducted using a microfluidic platform with a tapered
DEP microelectrode and the protein concentration was quantified based on a biochemical interaction
using an Enzyme-Linked Immunosolvent Assay (ELISA). The protein distribution has been analysed
based on the β2M concentration for each microfluidic outlet.

Results:
At 300 kHz, the protein experienced a negative DEP (nDEP) with of 83.3% protein distribution
on the middle microchannel. In contrast, the protein experienced a positive DEP (pDEP) at 1.2
MHz with of 78.7% of protein on the left and right sides of the microchannel.

Conclusion:
This is concept proved that the tapered DEP microelectrode is capable of manipulating
a β2M via particle polarisation, hence making it suitable to be utilised for purifying proteins in biomedical
application.

OBJECTIVE
This study examined whether a history of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is associated with changes in longitudinal cognitive and brain development in young children with type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Cognitive and brain imaging data were analyzed from 144 children with type 1 diabetes, ages 4 to &lt;10 years, who participated in an observational study of the Diabetes Research in Children Network (DirecNet). Participants were grouped according to history of DKA severity (none/mild or moderate/severe). Each participant had unsedated MRI scans and cognitive testing at baseline and 18 months.

RESULTS
In 48 of 51 subjects, the DKA event occurred at the time of onset, at an average of 2.9 years before study entry. The moderate/severe DKA group gained more total and regional white and gray matter volume over the observed 18 months compared with the none/mild group. When matched by age at time of enrollment and average HbA1c during the 18-month interval, participants who had a history of moderate/severe DKA compared with none/mild DKA were observed to have significantly lower Full Scale Intelligence Quotient scores and cognitive performance on the Detectability and Commission subtests of the Conners’ Continuous Performance Test II and the Dot Locations subtest of the Children’s Memory Scale.

CONCLUSIONS
A single episode of moderate/severe DKA in young children at diagnosis is associated with lower cognitive scores and altered brain growth. Further studies are needed to assess whether earlier diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and prevention of DKA may reduce the long-term effect of ketoacidosis on the developing brain.

Is it Necessary: Quality Control in Cataloging?
Authors: Nero Muriel D. , He Jia 
Published: December 2018

Catalogers and technical services departments have always struggled with how much is too much when creating and enhancing bibliographic records as well as with what physical processing is needed to make these materials shelf-ready for timely circulation. Along with these decisions, catalogers also must address what quality control measures, if any, should be in place to guarantee resources are discoverable in the OPAC and discovery service. The authors of this paper describe their process and workflow for the quality control of tangible and electronic resources; they also discuss why quality control is performed. The importance of training cataloging staff on current cataloging rules and practices as a preventive measure to reduce mistakes is an essential part of the process. The ultimate goal of quality control is to eliminate errors and ensure the library’s resources are accessible.

Sin embargo, hay muchas barreras por resolver, principalmente las relacionadas con el aumento del desempeño y la generación de múltiples comandos naturales mediante interfaces cerebro-computador a partir de electroencefalografía superficial (EEG). En este trabajo se hace una revisión de los más importantes trabajos que muestran la evolución, el estado actual y las oportunidades de investigación alrededor de la temática de interfaces cerebro-computador en procesos de neurorrehabilitación de miembros superiores en pacientes con lesiones medulares.
Projetos de vida e resolução de conflitos profissionais na perspectiva dos Modelos Organizadores do Pensamento | Purpose and professional conflict resolution within the perspective of the Theory of Organizing Models of Thinking
Authors: Pinheiro Viviane Potenza Guimarães , Arantes Valéria Amorim , Araújo Ulisses Ferreira 
Published: December 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é identificar formas de resolução de um conflito profissional sobre projetos de vida de jovens brasileiros. A amostra foi composta por duzentos estudantes, de 15 a 19 anos, de escolas públicas das cinco macrorregiões geográficas do país. No estudo, os jovens analisaram um conflito moral hipotético, em que deviam optar entre seguir seu sonho de realização profissional ou cumprir suas obrigações familiares. Utilizou-se a Teoria dos Modelos Organizadores do Pensamento como fundamentação teórica e como instrumento metodológico de análise. Os resultados indicaram sete formas de organização do pensamento. Dentre os modelos organizadores aplicados, destacam-se aqueles em que os jovens optam por seguir seus objetivos profissionais desconsiderando as necessidades da família; aqueles que decidem se submeter apenas ao que a família precisa; e outros que buscam conciliar ambas as perspectivas. Apesar de um grande percentual de jovens que se preocupam com as necessidades do outro, ainda é pequena a porcentagem dos que conseguem conciliar perspectivas, buscando soluções que atendam aos diferentes pontos de vista. A partir dos resultados, como implicações educacionais, discute-se a necessidade de introduzir a estratégia da resolução de conflitos no cotidiano escolar, integrando trabalho, projetos de vida, desejos e necessidades dos jovens, com a intenção de levá-los a construir formas de pensar a vida considerando a integração de valores e sentimentos.

Authors: Cevallos Ulloa Holger Ignacio , Intriago Gabriel , Plaza Douglas , Idrovo Roger 
Published: December 2018

The state estimation and the analysis of load flow are very important subjects in the analysis and management of Electrical Power Systems (EPS). This article describes the state estimation in EPS using the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and the method of Holt to linearize the process model and then calculates a performance error index as indicators of its accuracy. Besides, this error index can be used as a reference for further comparison between methodologies for state estimation in EPS such as the Unscented Kalman Filter, the Ensemble Kalman Filter, Monte Carlo methods, and others. Results of error indices obtained in the simulation process agree with the order of magnitude expected and the behavior of the filter is appropriate due to follows adequately the true value of the state variables. The simulation was done using Matlab and the electrical system used corresponds to the IEEE 14 and 30 bus test case systems. State Variables to consider in this study are the voltage and angle magnitudes.
MPs and Audiences on Social Media during Emergencies: Automatic and Manual Content Analyses of Facebook Posts
Authors: Steinfeld Nili , Lev-On Azi 
Published: December 2018

Members of parliament’s (MPs) social media channels are significant arenas for communication between the public and national leaders. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper to explore how these channels function during emergencies. We present findings from a mixed-method study of automatic and manual content analysis of a unique dataset composed of all posts on Israeli MPs' Facebook pages during the entire 19th Israeli parliament. We compare scope of posting, engagement with posts, and the content in MPs' Facebook pages during “ordinary" periods and an “emergency” period, focusing on the 2014 Israel/Gaza war. Findings present MPs' social media pages as hubs of interaction between MPs and audiences in emergencies, even more so than during ordinary periods. MPs' social media pages involve significantly more posts (and engagement with posts) during emergencies. In addition, the content in them becomes more emotional, less personal, and focused on the emergency situation and the national leaders responding to it.

Published: December 2018

A nondestructive method that evaluates the distribution of plastic strain using an ultrasonic wave would be useful for estimating a structure's state prior to crack development. The authors have proposed an ultrasonic wave measurement method by combining an EMAT and PVDF, in which the couplant is not needed if a contact-type PVDF sensor is used. This paper reports on the comparison and examination of adhesion-type and contact-type PVDF sensors combined with an EMAT for ultrasonic wave transmission.
Development of a high-speed motor at extremely low temperatures with an axial self-bearing motor and a superconducting magnetic bearing
Authors: Matsuoka Akihiro , Sumino Masayuki , Ueno Satoshi , Takeda Tsunehiro 
Published: December 2018

Superconducting technology has been significantly improved since the superconductor Y-Ba-Cu-O was discovered. This technology has been applied to many medical image-processing applications such as magnetoencephalogram (MEG) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Because the superconducting phenomenon occurs at extremely low temperatures, liquid helium or liquid hydrogen is essential to obtain a low-temperature environment. In addition, it is well known that the decompression of the liquid helium creates superfluid helium. This phenomenon improves the performance of the superconducting devices. For that reason, a vacuum pump, which can be used at a cryostat, is required. In this paper, we propose a motor that has a small size and simple structure for use in the cryostat. The proposed motor consists of an axial self-bearing motor, superconducting magnetic bearings, and permanent-magnet repulsive-type passive magnetic bearings. The design of the motor and control method is introduced. The experimental results show that the proposed motor has a high possibility for high-speed rotation at extremely low temperatures.
