Faculty Mentorship in Higher Education: The Value of Institutional and Professional Mentors
Authors: Mazerolle Stephanie M. , Nottingham Sara L. , Coleman Kelly A. 
Published: October 2018

Context:Mentorship has been identified as a key aspect to the transition into higher education for the junior faculty member, as it is an effective organizational socializing agent. The literature, however, often examines mentorship as a derivative of the socialization process, rather than as the primary focus of investigation.Objective:Explore the perceptions of mentorship for the athletic training faculty member on professional development and transition into a new faculty role, specifically looking at mentorship through a role transition and inductance lens for the junior faculty member.Design:Phenomenology.Setting:Higher education institutions.Patients or Other Participants:Twenty junior athletic training faculty members (14 women, 6 men) who met our inclusion criteria. All participants were in positions leading to promotion or tenure. Saturation was met with our 20 participants.Main Outcome Measure(s):Semistructured phone interviews were conducted and transcribed verbatim afterward. Using a phenomenological approach, we analyzed the data. Credibility of the data was confirmed with peer review and researcher triangulation.Results:Mentoring relationships were determined to be internal and external to the athletic training faculty member's institutions. Relationships were classified as informal, regardless of the location of the mentor. Internal mentoring relationships were informal and navigated by the faculty member with individuals the faculty member believed to have valued experiences and knowledge regarding the institution's culture and expectations for role performance and promotion. External mentors, mostly doctoral advisors, were individuals who could continue to support professional development and the specific tenets of higher education independently of institutional expectations.Conclusions:Our findings suggest that mentoring is done by a constellation of individuals, as each mentoring relationship fulfills a particular need of the junior faculty member and one mentor may not provide or possess all the necessary experiences to support the transition.
Alignment of Athletic Training Doctoral Education and Faculty Workload
Authors: Nottingham Sara L. , Mazerolle Stephanie M. , Bowman Thomas G. , Coleman Kelly A. 
Published: October 2018

Context:
Evidence suggests that doctoral education is incongruent with faculty positions, but this has yet to be specifically examined in athletic training.

Objective:
To gain understanding of the alignment of doctoral education and faculty workload, including institutional characteristics, from the perspectives of junior faculty members.

Design:
Qualitative, phenomenological research.

Setting:
Higher education institutions with Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education–accredited programs.

Patients or Other Participants:
Twenty athletic training faculty members (14 women and 6 men) who were 32 ± 3 years of age and averaged 10 ± 4 years of experience as athletic trainers and 2 ± 2 years as a full-time faculty member.

Main Outcome Measure(s):
We developed, peer-reviewed, and piloted 2 semistructured interview guides to obtain participants' perspectives on their doctoral preparation, entrance into higher education, and faculty workload. We completed telephone interviews with each participant over the course of 4 months. Transcribed interviews were analyzed by 2 investigators using a phenomenological approach, then reviewed by 2 additional qualitative researchers. Mechanisms of trustworthiness included member-checking, multianalyst triangulation, and peer review.

Results:
Two themes emerged from this study: (1) workload and (2) congruency. Faculty workload was dominated by teaching, but faculty had several demands on their time, including administration, service, and research. Most faculty positions focused on teaching, whereas their doctoral education was more focused on research, possibly because of a lack of congruency between doctoral education and faculty position institution types. Although mismatches occurred between doctoral education and faculty workload, participants were often aware of these differences and selected faculty positions aligned with their career goals.

Conclusions:
Faculty workload is generally teaching-focused and contains additional demands that are often not included in doctoral education programs. Doctoral advisors should promote adequate socialization to these characteristics of faculty positions, and doctoral students should consider their interests and faculty workload when searching for faculty positions.
Learning Professionalism on the Touch-Line: Pedagogical Challenges and Recommendations
Authors: Johnson Colin , Hammond Lucy 
Published: October 2018

Context:Professionalism education is essential for the professional development and workplace readiness of allied health care students across the globe, but it presents a pedagogical challenge for educators. Students' understanding of professionalism varies at different educational stages and across different disciplines.Objective:To conceptualize professionalism education, with a particular focus on the sports environment, and to apply pedagogical frameworks to professionalism education in this field.Background:Traditional approaches to teaching professionalism have focused on role models; however, poor role modeling and the “hidden curriculum” present a threat to student professional development. Specific challenges to learning professionalism become apparent in the sports environment where students are exposed to cultures and practices that may be discordant with what is taught in the classroom.Synthesis:The idea of threshold concepts provides a useful pedagogical framework for conceptualizing the challenge of learning professionalism for students and can help to uncover the hidden curriculum. The evolving professional curriculum provides a framework for student professional development, focusing on developing students as reflective practitioners, skilled communicators, and collaborative team members. Students need to learn the skill of reflective practice, which can be facilitated through structured reflective models, reflective journal writing, and critical reflective group discussions. Creating opportunities for authentic reflection and discussion can facilitate students linking theory to real-world practice and help to make sense of their experiences.Recommendation(s) and Conclusion(s):Pragmatic recommendations for curriculum planning, teaching, and learning activities; stakeholder engagement; and research are proposed to develop professionalism education in the sports environment and to mitigate some risks presented by the hidden curriculum.
Seasonal variation in species richness and abundance of waterbirds in Mole National Park, Ghana: Implication for conservation and ecotourism
Authors: Aikins Timothy K. , Gbogbo Francis , Owusu Erasmus H. 
Published: October 2018

Mole National Park is the largest and the oldest national park in Ghana and an important bird area, yet its waterbird fauna is poorly documented because it is situated in the northern ecological zone far away from the coast of Ghana. Information on the seasonal variation in the park’s bird abundance and diversity is generally patchy but necessary for effective birdwatching planning and management of the park’s birds. Therefore, as a guide to potential ecotourists interested in waterbirds, this study described the seasonal variation in waterbird species diversity and abundance at Mole National Park. As waterbirds mostly congregate around open wetlands and their abundance is more appropriately determined by counting all individuals in the congregant, data were collected using the total area count of waterbirds from August 2015 to October 2015 (the wet season) and from December 2015 to February 2016 (the dry season). Secondary data on arrival of tourists in the park were also analysed. The park’s waterbird species richness was 29 in the dry season compared to 18 in the wet season. There was significant difference (p < 0.05) in the abundance of waterbirds in the dry season in which 4014 waterbirds were encountered compared to 646 in the wet season. The yearly tourist arrival data at Mole National Park shows an increasing trend with peak visitation period occurring during the wet season. The chances of tourists encountering more species and numbers of waterbirds in the park are higher in the dry season compared to the wet season.Conservation implications: Species richness and abundance of waterbirds in Mole National Park varied according to the wet and dry seasons with both the number of species and abundance higher in the dry season than the wet season. It is therefore indicative that most birdwatchers who visit the park in the wet season miss out on a number of species and numbers of waterbirds. To achieve effective birdwatching, management should schedule birdwatching activities to coincide with the dry season as the chances of encountering more species and numbers of waterbirds are higher.
Long-term measurements of volatile organic compounds highlight the importance of sesquiterpenes for the atmospheric chemistry of a boreal forest

Published: October 2018

Abstract. The concentrations of terpenoids (isoprene; monoterpenes, MTs; and
sesquiterpenes, SQTs) and oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOCs;
i.e. aldehydes, alcohols, acetates and volatile organic acids, VOAs) were
investigated during 2 years at a boreal forest site in Hyytiälä,
Finland, using in situ gas chromatograph mass spectrometers (GC-MSs). Seasonal and
diurnal variations of terpenoid and OVOC concentrations as well as their
relationship with meteorological factors were studied. Of the VOCs examined, C2–C7 unbranched VOAs showed the highest
concentrations, mainly due to their low reactivity. Of the terpenoids, MTs
showed the highest concentrations at the site, but seven different highly
reactive SQTs were also detected. The monthly and daily mean concentrations
of most terpenoids, aldehydes and VOAs were highly dependent on the
temperature. The highest exponential correlation with temperature was found
for a SQT (β-caryophyllene) in summer. The diurnal variations in the
concentrations could be explained by sources, sinks and vertical mixing. The
diurnal variations in MT concentrations were strongly affected by vertical
mixing. Based on the temperature correlations and mixing layer height (MLH), simple
proxies were developed for estimating the MT and SQT concentrations. To estimate the importance of different compound groups and compounds in
local atmospheric chemistry, reactivity with main oxidants (hydroxyl radical, OH; nitrate radical, NO3;
and ozone, O3) and production rates
of oxidation products (OxPRs) were calculated. The MTs dominated OH and
NO3 radical chemistry, but the SQTs greatly impacted O3 chemistry,
even though the concentrations of SQT were 30 times lower than the MT
concentrations. SQTs were also the most important for the production of
oxidation products. Since the SQTs show high secondary organic aerosol
(SOA) yields, the results clearly indicate the importance of SQTs for local
SOA production.
Team Coaching Operating System (TCOS): The Intersection of Evidence-Based Research and Gestalt Principles
Authors: Hauser Laura L. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Although a 2014 Conference Board survey of coaching practices within organizations indicates that coaching focuses predominately on developing executives rather than teams, the use of team coaching is predicted to increase rapidly (Abel, Ray, and Nair 2016). The implication for coaches is significant, because coaching teams require additional knowledge sets, such as evidence-based frameworks (Hauser 2012, 2014). The implication for organizations is also significant, because an intervention at any level of the system will in some way influence all the other levels of the organizational system for better or worse (Stevenson 2018). This article breaks new ground by presenting a team intervention model, “Team Coaching Operating System (TCOS),” which is grounded in Gestalt principles and empirical team coaching research. Ultimately, it supports coaches in orchestrating interventions aligned with the team's readiness to make changes that improve its effectiveness and performance.
Expanding Awareness and Contact through Experiential Learning
Authors: Peterson Kay , Kolb David A. 
Published: October 2018

AbstractA Gestalt approach to change and adaptation focuses on awareness and contact and therefore requires learning. Experiential Learning is the primary holistic process of adaptation, which integrates interdependent pairs of opposites to be most effective. We explore how Experiential Learning can provide a framework for Gestalt practitioners to make the learning process and our approach to it explicit, thereby increasing awareness. In addition, through the process and content of Experiential Learning, we provide suggestions for using Gestalt experiments to build flexibility in using learning styles that empower us to have choice in the way we make contact. We build awareness that learning is present in every life experience and is an invitation to be engaged in each experience. We become aware that we are learning, how we are learning, and—perhaps most importantly—what we are learning.
Refuge and Refugees in Myanmar: A Theravada Buddhist Response
Authors: Yeng Sokthan 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
An exploration of human rights violations against the Rohingya population, led by a Buddhist extremist group and under the watch of democracy icon, Aung San Suu Kyi, can shed light on the interplay of religion and Myanmar's state sovereignty as it emerges within a long history of British rule and domestic military dictatorship. This article suggests that the dynamic between religion and the burgeoning democracy in Myanmar can help explain why the romanticized narratives about wandering monks in Buddhist history and philosophy do not reflect the life of stateless people in Agamben's work.
Transcending the Paradox of Violence: A Dialectical/Dialogical Interrogation of the Colonial/Anti-Colonial Struggle in Algeria
Authors: Burr Steven A. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
The growing complexity of contemporary globalized human culture, while creating greater opportunities for human relation, has likewise generated profound challenges to our human capacity to relate meaningfully. Using Gillo Pontecorvo's 1956 film The Battle of Algiers, Frantz Fanon's paradigmatic text The Wretched of the Earth, and the writings of Albert Camus as representative accounts of colonial/anti-colonial violence in the Algerian struggle for independence, this article will question the legitimacy of a dialectical approach to transcending the paradox of violence, proposing instead a manner of dialogical reconciliation through the human capacity for solidarity-in-relation.
Long-Term Treatment and Survival in Three Apparently Immunocompetent Dogs with Disseminated Fungal Infection Caused by Phialosimplex caninus
Authors: Townsell Marlene , Legendre Alfred M. , Bemis David A. , Behrend Ellen , Phillips Stephanie 
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT
Disseminated fungal infections cause morbidity and mortality in dogs. The prognosis varies depending on the infecting agent. Phialosimplex caninus is a recently recognized type of hyalohyphomyces. Knowledge regarding the clinical course of P caninus infection in dogs is limited to two previous case reports. The clinical features, diagnostic findings, responses to medical therapy, and long-term outcomes of three dogs with disseminated P caninus are presented in this study. All dogs had improved quality of life once itraconazole administration, with or without terbinafine, was instituted. Long-term disease remission was maintained even after discontinuation of antifungal therapy in a single dog.

Authors: Schenk Ashley , Lux Cassie , Lane Jeanne , Martin Olya 
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACTHypercalcemia is a biochemical abnormality that, when left untreated, can lead to life-threatening complications including renal failure. Bisphosphonates are routinely used to treat hypercalcemia, but most literature on veterinary patients describes the use of pamidronate. This retrospective case series describes the use of zoledronate for treatment of hypercalcemia in four dogs. Information including signalment, clinical signs, treatment, and outcome was collected. All dogs showed a decrease in total and ionized calcium concentrations after treatment with zoledronate. All treatments of zoledronate administered were well tolerated, but a previously unreported local hypersensitivity reaction was observed in one dog. This report is the first to document the efficacy of zoledronate for treatment of hypercalcemia in dogs.

Published: October 2018

ABSTRACTOpportunistic fungal infections have long been recognized as rare causes of disease in immunocompetent dogs and cats. Recently, the escalating use of multiagent immunosuppression protocols (especially those that include cyclosporine) has resulted in an increased number of patients with opportunistic fungal infection encountered by small animal practitioners and has altered the typical case phenotype. Based on histologic and cytologic features such as pigmentation, hyphal diameter, and distribution in tissue, these opportunistic mycoses can be placed into categories such as phaeohyphomycosis, hyalohyphomycosis, and eumycotic mycetoma. This review aims to summarize the clinical presentations, methods for diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and prognosis for both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed patients with opportunistic fungal infections. An example case description is included to illustrate the most common current clinical presentation.
Suspected Carboplatin Extravasation Reactions in Seven Dogs
Authors: Miller Kristina Bowles , Lejeune Amandine , Regan Rebecca , Szivek Anna , Kow Kevin 
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACTCarboplatin is a platinum chemotherapeutic agent commonly used in veterinary oncology that is currently classified as an irritant to local tissues when extravasated. To the authors’ knowledge, there are no reports of vesicant injuries associated with carboplatin administration reported in the veterinary literature. In this case series, seven dogs are described to have experienced injuries following a suspected carboplatin extravasation resembling vesicant injuries a median of 7 days after carboplatin administration (range 4–15 days). Wounds healed with a variety of treatments, including medical management and/or surgical debridement, a median of 25.5 days (range 7–49 days) after observation of the suspected extravasation injury. There were no obvious similarities involving carboplatin administration among patients to explain why these reactions occurred. Extravasation injury should be considered a possible local complication associated with carboplatin chemotherapy.
Quo Vadis Open data?

Published: October 2018

New technologies have irreversibly changed the nature of the traditional way of exercising the right to free access to information. In the current information society, the information available to public authorities is not just a tool for controlling the public administration and increasing its transparency. Information has become an asset that individuals and legal entities also seek to use for business purposes. PSI particularly in form of open data create new opportunities for developing and improving the performance of public administration.In that regard, authors analyze the term open data and its legal framework from the perspective of European Union law, Slovak legal order and Czech legal order. Furthermore, authors focus is on the relation between open data regime, public sector information re-use regime and free access to information regime.New data protection regime represented by General Data Protection Regulation poses several challenges when it comes to processing of public sector information in form of open data. The article highlights the most important challenges of new regime being compliance with purpose specification, selection of legal ground and other important issues.
Una crítica a la modernidad a partir de la “inutilidad” del juego. El imperativo metanoético de Sloterdijk y lo lúdico
Authors: Gimeno Monfort Xavier , Lopez Frías Francisco Javier 
Published: October 2018

En este artículo se analiza el concepto de imperativo metanoético que Peter Sloterdijk presenta en ¡Has de cambiar tu vida! Nuestro objetivo es iluminar la naturaleza de lo que, en trabajos anteriores, hemos denominado -a raíz de la obra de Bernard Suits-: razón lúdica. Para ello, primero, expondremos y analizaremos el sentido del imperativo metanoético en Sloterdijk, así como los elementos principales de su razón ascética. Segundo, mostraremos cómo ambos son consecuencia del análisis ontológico de corte heideggeriano en la que Sloterdijk basa su propuesta de filosofía moral. Tercero, presentaremos en términos sloterdijkianos tanto el análisis ontológico de Suits, como el posible imperativo metanoético que se desprendería de su razón lúdica. Por último, centrándonos en el papel que Sloterdijk otorga a la figura del «ocioso», mostraremos las posibles conexiones entre Suits y Sloterdijk. Mostraremos la relación que existe entre los imperativos lúdicos y ascéticos donde, además, el acto «jugar» recibe un papel central en la «respuesta a la pregunta por el ser». In this article, we analyze Peter Sloterdijk’s concept of “metanoethical imperative” in You Must Change Your Life. Our goal is to shed light on what, by drawing on Bernard Suits, we call “ludic reason.” To do so, we will present and examine in depth the meaning of Sloterdijk’s metanoethical imperative, as well as the main features of his concept of “askesis.” Second, we will argue that both concepts are the result of the Heideggerian ontological principles underlying Sloterdijk’s moral philosophy. Third, we will provide a “Sloterdijkean” interpretation of Suits’ account of games by focusing on the metanoethical imperative that could be derived from the notion of the ludic reason. To conclude, we will focus on the role that the figure of the “Good-for-Nothing” plays in Sloterdijk’s account, showing connections between Suits’ and Sloterdijk’s approaches. We will argue that, in the philosophical approaches of both philosophers, the idea of game playing is closely tied to the “question on Being.”
