The Implementation of ICT-Based Materials and Metacognition Learning Strategy to Improve Students’ Vocabulary
Authors: Amraj Akbar Kurtubi 
Published: February 2018

The purpose of this research is to find out the teachers’ and students’ perceptions on the implementation of ICT-based learning and metacognition to improve students' vocabulary mastery at SMP (Junior Secondary School) Harapan Jaya II. This qualitative study applied a case study approach involving thirty eight students and one teacher as the participants. The data was collected through questionnaires, interviews and vocabulary test. The study revealed that the teacher had good perceptions about the implemented ICT-based materials, and the students showed motivation to learn English both in and outside the class. However, the teacher had the problem while in the classroom activity because the foundation of that school did not support the ICT-based learning. Therefore, he seldom used the projector in the class. Second, based on the finding, the students had good perceptions to learn English using the ICT-based materials. 81.8% of students considered this strategy enjoyable. Third, the findings also indicated that there were some improvements of the students’ achievement on the vocabulary test. This is indicated by the improvement of the post test. Since the ICT-based learning and metacognition can improve the students' vocabulary mastery, this research could be an alternative approach for English teacher to improve the students’ vocabulary.
Keywords: ICT-based materials, metacognition learning strategy, and vocabulary mastery.
Bribery: Am I a Criminal? Implications of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act in the Outsourced FM Environment
Authors: Bown Michael 
Published: February 2018

ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the de facto international anti-bribery/anti-corruption (ABAC) standard and how facility managers can unwittingly fall afoul of it. Its conclusions will help FM practitioners in the outsourced multinational environment set up robust ethics trainings and control mechanisms for their teams in emerging markets. While bribery is found in all countries, it is especially problematic in emerging markets, which are increasingly included in FM outsourcing contracts. Three real-world situations are analyzed where misunderstandings of policy intent or implementation, lack of diligence in following standards, or other overriding considerations led to ABAC infractions. The analysis shows that the international FM outsourcing environment is susceptible to ethical difficulties caused by cutting corners during the account transition process. This is due to financial pressures during transition and a tendency to assume that the client knows best. This conclusion is not likely to be intuitive to practicing FM account managers. The paper will not touch on country standards of ethics or ABAC laws in the developing world. Such laws and standards are not always sufficiently enforced, which contributes to the persistence of bribery and corruption. This weakness in local enforcement is one factor that has led to the development of the international standard, which is framed by US and UK law.
Differential Diagnosis in a Patient Presenting With Both Systemic and Neuromusculoskeletal Pathology: Resident's Case Problem
Authors: Petersen Evan J. , Thurmond Stephanie M. 
Published: February 2018

Study Design Resident's case problem. Background Patients presenting with multiple symptomatic areas pose a diagnostic challenge for the physical therapist. Though musculoskeletal and nonmusculoskeletal symptoms typically present separately, they can occur simultaneously and mimic each other. Consequently, the ability to differentiate between musculoskeletal and nonmusculoskeletal symptoms is an important skill for physical therapists. The purpose of this resident's case problem was to describe the clinical-reasoning process leading to medical and physical therapy management of a patient presenting with upper and lower back pain, bilateral radiating arm and leg pain, and abdominal pain. Diagnosis The patient was a 30-year-old woman referred to physical therapy for upper and lower back pain. A detailed history and thorough examination revealed that the patient had signs and symptoms consistent with a possible abdominal aortic aneurysm. She was referred for medical management and was diagnosed with symptomatic cholelithiasis. She subsequently had a cholecystectomy, which ultimately resolved her abdominal pain and reduced her pain in other areas significantly. Although many of her symptoms resolved postoperatively, her pain in other areas remained and was potentially musculoskeletal in origin. Following re-evaluation and 3 physical therapy treatments over a 2-month period, she was relatively symptom free at discharge and had achieved all functional rehabilitation goals. Discussion This resident's case problem provides an opportunity to discuss the differential diagnosis, clinical reasoning, and outcome of a patient who presented with both systemic and neuromusculoskeletal pathology.

Published: February 2018

Background: The Memory Binding Test (MBT) demonstrated good cross-sectional discriminative validity and predicted incident aMCI. Objective: To assess whether the MBT predicts incident dementia better than a conventional list learning test in a longitudinal community-based study. Methods: As a sub-study in the Einstein Aging Study, 309 participants age≥70 initially free of dementia were administered the MBT and followed annually for incident dementia for up to 13 years. Based on previous work, poor memory binding was defined using an optimal empirical cut-score of≤17 on the binding measure of the MBT, Total Items in the Paired condition (TIP). Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess predictive validity adjusting for covariates. We compared the predictive validity of MBT TIP to that of the free and cued selective reminding test free recall score (FCSRT-FR; cut-score:≤24) and the single list recall measure of the MBT, Cued Recalled from List 1 (CR-L1; cut-score:≤12). Results: Thirty-five of 309 participants developed incident dementia. When assessing each test alone, the hazard ratio (HR) for dementia was significant for MBT TIP (HR = 8.58, 95% CI: (3.58, 20.58), p < 0.0001), FCSRT-FR (HR = 4.19, 95% CI: (1.94, 9.04), p = 0.0003) and MBT CR-L1 (HR = 2.91, 95% CI: (1.37, 6.18), p = 0.006). MBT TIP remained a significant predictor of dementia ( p = 0.0002) when adjusting for FCSRT-FR or CR-L1. Conclusions: Older adults with poor memory binding as measured by the MBT TIP were at increased risk for incident dementia. This measure outperforms conventional episodic memory measures of free and cued recall, supporting the memory binding hypothesis.

Déni et ignorance de l’historicité autochtone dans l’histoire de l’art occidentale
Authors: Uzel Jean-Philippe 
Published: February 2018

Western art history long refused to recognize the historicity of Indigenous art, seeing it instead as a “primitive” mode of human expression. While the dynamism of Indigenous creation since the 1960s has made such an assertion impossible, the institutional recognition given contemporary Indigenous art in the art world is paradoxically accompanied by a lack of critical and theoretical analysis. Today, there is a genuine ignorance concerning Indigenous conceptions of history — their “regime of historicity”— on the part of Western art historians. This is all the more surprising given the recent “temporal turn” taken by the discipline, which emphasizes the question of mixed temporalities without acknowledging it as an essential dimension of Indigenous art. This paper revisits Western art history’s long-standing denial of the historicity of Indigenous art, and then considers its current disregard for the ways Indigenous art allows different forms of temporality to coexist. The underlying thesis of the essay is that today’s disinterest is, in fact, a prolongation of yesterday’s denial.

AbstractSnow sublimation is an important component of the snow mass balance, but the spatial and temporal variability of this process is not well understood in mountain environments. This study combines a process‐based snow model (SnowModel) with eddy covariance (EC) measurements to investigate (1) the spatio‐temporal variability of simulated snow sublimation with respect to station observations, (2) the contribution of snow sublimation to the ablation of the snowpack, and (3) the sensitivity and response of snow sublimation to bark beetle‐induced forest mortality and climate warming across the north‐central Colorado Rocky Mountains. EC‐based observations of snow sublimation compared well with simulated snow sublimation at stations dominated by surface and canopy sublimation, but blowing snow sublimation in alpine areas was not well captured by the EC instrumentation. Water balance calculations provided an important validation of simulated sublimation at the watershed scale. Simulated snow sublimation across the study area was equivalent to 28% of winter precipitation on average, and the highest relative snow sublimation fluxes occurred during the lowest snow years. Snow sublimation from forested areas accounted for the majority of sublimation fluxes, highlighting the importance of canopy and sub‐canopy surface sublimation in this region. Simulations incorporating the effects of tree mortality due to bark‐beetle disturbance resulted in a 4% reduction in snow sublimation from forested areas. Snow sublimation rates corresponding to climate warming simulations remained unchanged or slightly increased, but total sublimation losses decreased by up to 6% because of a reduction in snow covered area and duration.
The Effect of Wettability Heterogeneity on Relative Permeability of Two‐Phase Flow in Porous Media: A Lattice Boltzmann Study

Published: February 2018

AbstractRelative permeability is a critical parameter characterizing multiphase flow in porous media and it is strongly dependent on the wettability. In many situations, the porous media are nonuniformly wet. To investigate the effect of wettability heterogeneity on relative permeability of two‐phase flow in porous media, a multi‐relaxation‐time color‐gradient lattice Boltzmann model is adopted to simulate oil/water two‐phase flow in porous media with different oil‐wet solid fractions. For the water phase, when the water saturation is high, the relative permeability of water increases with the increase of oil‐wet solid fraction under a constant water saturation. However, as the water saturation decreases to an intermediate value (about 0.4–0.7), the relative permeability of water in fractionally wet porous media could be lower than that in purely water‐wet porous media, meaning additional flow resistance exists in the fractionally wet porous media. For the oil phase, similar phenomenon is observed. This phenomenon is mainly caused by the wettability‐related microscale fluid distribution. According to both our simulation results and theoretical analysis, it is found that the relative permeability of two‐phase flow in porous media is strongly related to three parameters: the fluid saturation, the specific interfacial length of fluid, and the fluid tortuosity in the flow direction. The relationship between the relative permeability and these parameters under different capillary numbers is explored in this paper.

Noncoding RNA play important roles in various biological processes and diseases, including cancer. The expression profile of circular RNA (circRNA) has not been systematically investigated in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). In this study, we performed genomewide transcriptome profiling of coding genes, long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), and circRNA in paired LUAD and nontumor tissues by ribosomal RNA‐depleted RNA sequencing. The detected reads were first mapped to the human genome to analyze expression of coding genes and lncRNA, while the unmapped reads were subjected to a circRNA prediction algorithm to identify circRNA candidates. We identified 1282 differentially expressed coding genes in LUAD. Expression of 19 023 lncRNA was detected, of which 244 lncRNAs were differentially expressed in LUAD. AFAP1‐AS1, BLACAT1, LOC101928245, and FENDRR were most differentially expressed lncRNAs in LUAD. Also identified were 9340 circRNA candidates with ≥ 2 backspliced, including 3590 novel circRNA transcripts. The median length of circRNA was ~ 530 nt. CircRNA are often of low abundance, and more than half of circRNAs we identified had < 10 reads. Agarose electrophoresis and Sanger sequencing were used to confirm that four candidate circRNA were truly circular. Our results characterized the expression profile of coding genes, lncRNA, and circRNA in LUAD; 9340 circRNAs were detected, demonstrating that circRNA are widely expressed in LUAD.DatabaseThe raw RNA sequencing data have been submitted to Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and can be accessed with the ID GEO: GSE104854.

Published: February 2018

AbstractSolid‐state luminescence is an important strategy for color generation via molecular self‐assembly. Here, a new luminogen (AT3EMIS) containing both a rigid chromophore and a flexible dendron is designed and synthesized for multicolor emission. The emission energy of the target material is precisely controlled by adjusting three different columnar arrays through thermal and mechanical stimulation. With well‐defined supramolecular organizations in different length scales, the luminescent properties of the light switch can be tuned.
