Abstract
The purpose of this study was to optimize the coagulation–flocculation effect of a wastewater treatment system using the response surface methodology (RSM) and three-step method to minimize phosphorus concentration in the distillate wastewater. In order to minimize the concentration of total phosphorus (TP), experiments were carried out using -factorial designs with three levels and three factors. A Box–Behnken design, which is the standard design of RSM, was used to evaluate the effects and interactions of three major factors (Fe:P (w/w) ratio, coagulation pH and fast mixing speed (FMS)) on the treatment efficiency. A multivariable quadratic model developed for studying the response indicated that the values for optimum conditions for Fe:P (w/w) ratio, coagulation pH and FMS were 2.40, 6.48 and 100 rev min−1, respectively. Under optimal process conditions, the TP concentration in the distillery effluent was reduced from 10 mg L−1 to 0.215 mg L−1, representing a removal efficiency of 97.85%. Based upon the statistical evaluation of results, it is inferred that RSM can be used as an appropriate approach to optimize the coag-flocculation process. Meanwhile, the study has shown that, for the equivalent dose of ferric chloride, the average three-step effect is better than that of the one-time addition.

Authors: Salar Uzma , Khan Khalid Mohammed , Jabeen Almas , Hussain Shafquat , Faheem Aisha , Naqvi Farwa , Perveen Shahnaz 
Published: June 2019

Background:
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, aspirin,
indomethacin, flufenamic acid and phenylbutazone are used to treat most of the inflammatory
disorders. These NSAIDs are also associated with serious side effects including gastric ulceration,
nephrotoxicity, and bleeding, mainly due to acidic nature. Hence, there is a need to identify highly
potent and safer treatment for inflammatory disorders.

Methods:
Herein, synthetic hydrazinyl thiazole substituted coumarins and chromones 1-48 were
evaluated for ROS inhibitory activity. ROS were generated from zymosan activated whole blood
phagocytes.

Results:
Among all tested compounds, compounds 1 (IC50 = 38.3 ± 7.1 μM), 2 (IC50 = 5.7 ±
0.2 μM), 5 (IC50 = 28.3 ± 3.5 μM), 23 (IC50 = 12.5 ± 3.1 μM), 27 (IC50 = 32.8 ± 1.1 μM), 39 (IC50 =
20.2 ± 1.6 μM), and 42 (IC50 = 43.2 ± 3.8 μM) showed potent ROS inhibition as compared to
standard ibuprofen (IC50 = 54.3 ± 1.9 μM). Whereas, compounds 3 (IC50 = 134.7 ± 1.0 μM), 16
(IC50 = 75.4 ± 7.2 μM), 24 (IC50 = 102.4 ± 1.0 μM), and 31 (IC50 = 86.6 ± 1.5 μM) were found to be
moderately active. Compounds 1, 2, 5, 23, 27, 39, and 42, having potent ROS inhibitory activity
were also screened for their nitric oxide (NO) inhibition. Cytotoxicity was also checked for all active
compounds on NIH-3T3 cell line. Cyclohexamide (IC50 = 0.13 ± 0.02 μM) was used as standard.

Conclusion:
Identified active compounds from these libraries may serve as lead candidates for future
research in order to obtain a more potent, and safer anti-inflammatory agent.

Published: June 2019

A aprovação do regime de acesso ao Ensino Superior pela via dos “maiores de 23” constitui um dos principais desafios com que se deparam as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) portuguesas, que se traduz na necessidade de construção de respostas educativas tendo em conta a heterogeneidade do seu público. O estudo exploratório aqui apresentado tem por objetivo retratar a autoperceção destes estudantes acerca da sua eficácia formativa e o seu envolvimento académico, em função da idade de ingresso no Ensino Superior, assim como explorar a relação entre estas autoperceções, suas dimensões e idade de ingresso no Ensino Superior. Foram recolhidos dados junto de 55 estudantes de duas IES privadas, através de inquéritos por questionário, os quais foram sujeitos a análises descritivas e de regressão linear. Os resultados mostram que é possível diferenciar dois grupos de estudantes em função da idade, até aos 26 anos e mais, sendo que este último se destaca pelo maior envolvimento académico e pela maior autoperceção de eficácia formativa. A discussão destes resultados, à luz dos referenciais teóricos do desenvolvimento da idade adulta, assume particular relevância para a promoção da equidade de acesso e ingresso no Ensino Superior.

Relation of Personality to Grades and Grading in Undergraduate Peer Review
Authors: Shaw Jenessa Louise , Cramer Kenneth 
Published: June 2019

Peer reviews offer a unique assessment of post-secondary students’ writing, wherein students grade fellow students’ (or peers’) essay submissions according to a provided rubric. Previous research found that students’ personality dimensions were related to the grades that students both gave and received through peer assessment. The present study examined the association between personality factors on grader leniency and grades received during a peer review assignment in an introductory psychology course. Participants completed an online survey to assess academic entitlement, learning/grade orientation, narcissism, and the 5-factor personality traits; these were later joined to peer review grades received and given. Results showed that rater leniency was negatively related to learning orientation, conscientiousness, and grade orientation. Moreover, the strongest predictors of grades received included academic entitlement, conscientiousness, and narcissism. Implications of these findings, plus directions for future research, are discussed.
Keywords: peer review, rater leniency, personality, academic achievement

L’évaluation par les pairs constitue un processus exceptionnel d’évaluation de l’écriture d’étudiants de niveau postsecondaire. Des étudiants notent les rédactions de leurs camarades de classe (leurs « pairs ») en utilisant une grille d’évaluation qui leur est fournie. Des recherches ont montré que les aspects de la personnalité des étudiants ont une incidence sur les notes que ceux-ci donnent ou reçoivent. La présente étude examine le lien entre, d’une part, les facteurs liés à la personnalité et, d’autre part, la clémence des évaluateurs et les notes reçues au cours d’une évaluation par les pairs dans un cours d’introduction à la psychologie. Les participants ont rempli un sondage en ligne pour mesurer leurs attentes en matière de notes, leur intérêt pour l’apprentissage ou pour les notes, leur narcissisme et les cinq traits centraux de la personnalité. Les réponses au sondage ont ensuite été combinées aux évaluations par les pairs que les participants ont rendues et reçues. Les résultats montrent que la clémence de l’évaluateur est liée de façon négative à l’intérêt en matière d’apprentissage, au caractère consciencieux et à l’intérêt pour les notes. Qui plus est, les principaux indicateurs des notes reçues comprennent l’attente de recevoir de bonnes notes, le caractère consciencieux et le narcissisme. L’article examine les conséquences de ces résultats et indique la direction à prendre pour des recherches à venir.

Authors: Dalton CJ , Thornton Antoinette , Dinsmore Christina , Beyer Wanda , Akiva Keren , King Beverly 
Published: June 2019

This study examined the experiences of three new online instructors supported by a multidisciplinary, team-based model of course development and how their experiences may transform their knowledge of teaching and learning. In-depth, individual interviews with instructors during the course development process provided insights into participants’ perspectives. Analysis reveals faculty reflected positively on the overall development process and that they intend to incorporate new understandings in future course design, suggesting that the model provides a solid foundation for online course development and faculty support. Based on a cross-case analysis using Cranton’s (2002) adaptations to transformative learning theory, findings indicated the importance of critical reflection and discourse during the course development process. Lastly, the need for development teams to acknowledge time-management concerns and to consider instructors as novice learners is recognized as an essential requirement to online course development.

La présente étude se penche sur l’expérience de trois nouveaux instructeurs en ligne utilisant un modèle d’élaboration de cours multidisciplinaire fondé sur le travail d’équipe. Nous nous demandons comment cette expérience est susceptible de transformer leur connaissance de l’enseignement et de l’apprentissage. Des entrevues individuelles approfondies avec les instructeurs pendant l’élaboration des cours nous ont permis d’observer le point de vue des participants. Selon notre analyse, les enseignants ont formulé des réflexions positives au sujet du processus d’élaboration dans son ensemble. Ils ont dit vouloir incorporer leurs nouvelles connaissances dans la conception de leurs cours à l’avenir, ce qui suggère que le modèle constitue une assise solide pour l’élaboration de cours en ligne et pour le soutien des enseignants. Fondés sur une analyse transversale faisant usage des adaptations de Cranton (2002) aux théories de l’apprentissage transformationnel, nos résultats mettent en relief l’importance de la réflexion critique et du discours dans le processus d’élaboration des cours. Enfin, nous prenons acte du fait que l’équipe d’élaboration des cours doit prendre en compte les préoccupations en matière de gestion du temps et doit considérer les instructeurs comme des apprenants débutants. Ce sont là des exigences essentielles pour l’élaboration de cours en ligne.
PENDEKATAN PENGELOLAAN KURIKULUM DALAM MENCIPTAKAN SEKOLAH UNGGUL

Published: June 2019

This paper describes the Curriculum Management Approach in Creating a Superior School. A superior school is an educational institution that is able to bring each of its students to achieve measurable abilities and be able to demonstrate their accomplishments. To arrive at this stage, there are several components that must be implemented by each school including curriculum management. The curriculum occupies a very strategic position in a school. The curriculum is a guideline in the learning process. However, formulating a curriculum is not an easy job, the use of a curriculum that is not appropriate in a school or madrasah is also a reason why the failure of a school reaches a superior level. There are several approaches that can be implemented as an effort in creating superior schools, namely the subject of academic approach, humanistic approach, social approach, and competency approach.

Metapoesia e autorreferencialidade na antilírica de Paulo Leminski
Authors: Massagli Sérgio Roberto 
Published: June 2019

No texto metapoético,é a própria poesia que se torna matéria de simesma. Assim, o poeta, ao exercitar a metapoesia, revela sua consciência crítica da intrincada relação que a palavra mantém como mundo. A produção poética e crítica de Paulo Leminski, escrita entre as décadas de 1960 e 1980, apresenta uma inquietação e traz para o debate a relação frequentemente problematizada na contemporaneidade entre pensamento, mundo e linguagem. A proposta deste trabalho é buscar os rastros dessa escrita autorreflexiva na confrontação entre a sua prosa ensaística e a sua produção poética. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25094/rtp.2019n27a584

Notas para um estudo da poesia de ‘Americanas’, de Machado de Assis
Authors: Miranda José Américo 
Published: June 2019

Este artigo examina a estrutura de Americanas, obra publicada por Machado de Assis em 1875, especialmente através de três pontos-chave de sua estrutura: o primeiro e o último poemas (“Potira” e “Os Orizes conquistados”, respectivamente), e o poema “A Gonçalves Dias”, que ocupa posição central no conjunto. Os dois poemas situados nos extremos são vistos como formas espelhadas (um em relação ao outro); o poema mediano, por sua vez, tem sua estrutura bipartida revelada e analisada. Além desses poemas, foi também objeto de exame a “Cantiga do rosto branco” – única peça que foi excluída do livro por ocasião da publicação das Poesias completas de Machado de Assis, em 1901. ---DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.25094/rtp.2019n27a620

Action Pending: Four Years on from the New Zealand Sign Language Act 2006
Authors: McKee Rachel Locker 
Published: June 2019

The granting of official language status to New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) through the New Zealand Sign Language Act 2006 (NZSL Act 2006) is unusual in terms of the status of signed languages around the world. Many governments have accorded various forms of recognition to a signed language, but no others appear to have granted it official language status. Language policy makes and promotes certain choices about language use at a particular socio-historical moment; such decisions thus have social and political meaning to the minority community and to wider society. What motivated the government to recognise NZSL as an official language, and what has been achieved by it? Did cross-party support for this Act signal societal commitment to linguistic diversity and equity? Or did the negligible material implications of the Act ensure its approval by politicians as a compensatory gesture towards a disadvantaged community? This article critically examines the aims, provisions, and impacts of the NZSL Act 2006, and reports data from two recent surveys of stakeholders about priorities for further action to realise the purpose of the Act.

The English Children and Families Act 2014
Authors: Bainham Andrew , Gilmore Stephen 
Published: June 2019

Parts I and II of the Children and Families Act 2014 may appear to make little change to English child law, largely amending existing statutes with provisions of a procedural and evidential flavour. Yet, as this article explains, it is deeply ideological legislation with roots in the Narey Report on adoption and the Family Justice Review. The article examines the background to the legislation and shows how, in the private law, statutory language was used to convey an "official" message concerning the importance of both separating parents remaining "involved" in their children’s lives. This resulted in enactment of a presumption of parental involvement in court decision making, and a more neutral "child arrangements order", replacing the supposed polarising duality of "residence" and "contact" orders with little more than a change of terminology and the disadvantage of greater complexity. The ideology underpinning the public law provisions is to encourage adoption by speeding up the process, getting children through care proceedings as quickly as possible and into adoptive families. This thinking may appear to clash with recent jurisprudence of the higher courts which has emphasised that adoption is a "last resort" in child protection, and that significant human rights issues arise. The analysis highlights a key question, cutting across the public and private law provisions, namely whether the 2014 Act dilutes English law's long-standing commitment to the paramountcy of child welfare.
