Authors: MWIRICHIA SEVERINA MUKOKINYA , Kibaara Tarsila 
Published: August 2018

Through appropriate activities in teamwork among head teachers and parents, inclusive education is improved. The purpose of the study was to analyse activities in team work among head teachers and parents for the improvement of inclusive education in regular public primary schools, in Meru County, Kenya. The objective of the study was to examine activities in team work among head teachers and parents for the improvement of inclusive education. The significance of the study was to inform education policy makers, who need the study results to evaluate the current policies on inclusion and formulate appropriate ones for promoting head teacher-parent collaboration to improve the status of inclusive education for all learners. The study was guided by Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological systems theory and Peters’ input-process-outcome-context framework of Inclusive Education. Qualitative research approach method was predominantly used. The target population was 101,612. Through purposive sampling, 24 participants were selected. The study instruments used included; questionnaires, interview schedules, focus group discussion guide, observations and documents’ analysis schedules. Qualitative data analysis was done with the help of computer package, ATLAS. ti. The study findings were presented using narratives within themes generated from the collected data. It was found that, though, many head teachers carried out numerous activities, as a team with the parents, challenges contributed to minimal improvement of inclusive education. It was recommended that, the school stakeholders should be well sensitized on the collaboration for the improvement of inclusive education.

Abstract
The Kepler light curves used to detect thousands of planetary candidates are susceptible to dilution due to blending with previously unknown nearby stars. With the automated laser adaptive optics instrument, Robo-AO, we have observed 620 nearby stars around 3857 planetary candidates host stars. Many of the nearby stars, however, are not bound to the KOI. We use galactic stellar models and the observed stellar density to estimate the number and properties of unbound stars. We estimate the spectral type and distance to 145 KOIs with nearby stars using multi-band observations from Robo-AO and Keck-AO. Most stars within 1″ of a Kepler planetary candidate are likely bound, in agreement with past studies. We use likely bound stars and the precise stellar parameters from the California Kepler Survey to search for correlations between stellar binarity and planetary properties. No significant difference between the binarity fraction of single and multiple-planet systems is found, and planet hosting stars follow similar binarity trends as field stars, many of which likely host their own non-aligned planets. We find that hot Jupiters are ∼4× more likely than other planets to reside in a binary star system. We correct the radius estimates of the planet candidates in characterized systems and find that for likely bound systems, the estimated planetary radii will increase on average by a factor of 1.77, if either star is equally likely to host the planet. Lastly, we find the planetary radius gap is robust to the impact of dilution.
Contenu et effets de la proximité institutionnelle : un cas d’enfermement dans l’industrie aéronautique
Authors: Hamouda Ibtissem , Talbot Damien 
Published: August 2018

Si divers travaux se sont attachés à mesurer et caractériser certaines dimensions de la proximité, la proximité institutionnelle reste probablement la moins étudiée : cet article vise à combler ce manque. Nous proposons d’analyser la proximité institutionnelle par l’étude des représentations collectives portées par les acteurs en réalisant une analyse de contenu thématique. Dans une visée compréhensive, 11 acteurs de l’aéronautique ont été interrogés sur leur perception de cette proximité. L’analyse des discours nous a permis de mettre au jour le contenu de la proximité institutionnelle et ses effets sur les relations inter-organisationnelles. En particulier, une perception positive mais aussi négative de l’industrie aéronautique apparaît, ce qui est une nouveauté, tandis qu’un effet inattendu d’enfermement ( lock-in ) se fait jour.

Dans cette étude, nous cherchons à comprendre les comportements de professionnels traditionnels face à une loi qui entre en conflit avec leur tradition. Lorsque tradition et règlementation s’opposent, comment réagissent les professionnels ? A l’aide d’une étude qualitative exploratoire sur une étude de cas unique – le cas de la loi Labbé – nous avons développé des propositions qui permettent d’expliquer le comportement des professionnels face à la loi.

AbstractThe ability to alkylate pyridines and quinolines is important for their further development as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and for other purposes. Herein we describe the unprecedented reductive alkylation of pyridine and quinoline N‐oxides using Wittig reagents. A wide range of pyridine and quinoline N‐oxides were converted into C2‐alkylated pyridines and quinolines with excellent site selectivity and functional‐group compatibility. Sequential C−H functionalization reactions of pyridine and quinoline N‐oxides highlight the utility of the developed method. Detailed labeling experiments were performed to elucidate the mechanism of this process.
“It's like a refuge”: Young people's relationships with school counsellors
Authors: Knight Karis , Gibson Kerry , Cartwright Claire 
Published: August 2018

AbstractAimThe counselling relationship is important for engaging young people, but more understanding about how young people experience this in the context of school counselling is necessary. This study explored young people's understanding of the counselling relationship in two New Zealand schools.MethodTwenty‐two participants between the ages of 16 and 18 took part in unstructured narrative interviews on their experience of school counselling. The data were analysed to identify themes related specifically to participants’ experience of the counselling relationship.FindingsFive themes highlighting positive aspects of the relationship with the school counsellor were identified; young people's experiences of a genuine connection with a counsellor, the experience of being listened to, availability and accessibility of the counsellor on site at school, the counsellor's belief in the young person and the counsellor's potential to be an advocate for the young person in the school context. Negative experiences of the counselling relationship were described in the absence of these features.Conclusions and implications for practiceThe “School counsellor” has the potential to be experienced as a “refuge” for young people in the context of a hierarchical and evaluative school environment, within which they can feel accepted, understood and safe. Accessibility and the counsellor's ability to serve as an advocate in the school context means school counselling can be an important primary care intervention for young people in distress.

Published: August 2018

AbstractFrom theoretical calculations and a rational synthesis methodology, it has been possible to prepare nanocrystalline (60–80 nm) chabazite with an optimized framework Al distribution that has a positive impact on its catalytic properties. This is exemplified for the methanol‐to‐olefin (MTO) process. The nanosized material with the predicted Al distribution maximizes the formation of the required MTO hydrocarbon pool intermediates, while better precluding excessive diffusion pathways that favor the rapid catalyst deactivation by coke formation.
Detection of BCR/ABL Fusion Gene Based on MNAzyme‐mediated Target‐cycling and ssDNA‐assisted Cascade Hybridization Reaction

Published: August 2018

AbstractA novel and simple electrochemical strategy has been developed for ultrasensitive and specific detection of BCR/ABL fusion gene based on multi component nucleic acid enzyme (MNAzyme) and ssDNA‐assisted cascade hybridization reaction. In the presence of Mg2+, a stable active MNAzyme was formed by the homogeneous recognition and specific binding with the target, initiating shear reaction of hairpin probe (HP) to produce numerous triggers. These triggers could hybridize with the immobilized capture probes and the biotinylated P1 and P2, which caused the heterogeneous ssDNA‐assisted cascade hybridization reaction on the surface of the electrode. Binding with the biotin‐rich long concatamers structure, streptavidin‐alkaline phosphatase (ST‐AP) could catalyze α‐naphthyl phosphate (α‐NPP) to produce amplified electrochemical signals. The electrochemical DNA biosensor showed high sensitivity for target gene with detection limit of 2.19×10−14 M. In addition, the established biosensor was successfully applied for detecting target BCR/ABL gene in complex samples. Thus, the electrochemical biosensing strategy presents a simple and pragmatic platform toward ultrasensitive fusion gene detection in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) diagnosis.
Complexity functionals and complexity growth limits in continuous MERA circuits
Authors: Molina-Vilaplana J. , del Campo A. 
Published: August 2018

AbstractUsing the path integral associated to a cMERA tensor network, we provide an operational definition for the complexity of a cMERA circuit/state which is relevant to investigate the complexity of states in quantum field theory. In this framework, it is possible to explicitly establish the correspondence (Minimal) Complexity = (Least) Action. Remarkably, it is also shown how the cMERA complexity action functional can be seen as the action of a Liouville field theory, thus establishing a connection with two dimensional quantum gravity. Concretely, the Liouville mode is identified with the variational parameter defining the cMERA circuit. The rate of complexity growth along the cMERA renormalization group flow is obtained and shown to saturate limits which are in close resemblance to the fundamental bounds to the speed of evolution in unitary quantum dynamics, known as quantum speed limits. We also show that the complexity of a cMERA circuit measured through these complexity functionals, can be cast in terms of the variationally-optimized amount of left-right entanglement created along the cMERA renormalization flow. Our results suggest that the patterns of entanglement in states of a QFT could determine their dual gravitational descriptions through a principle of least complexity.
Spatially adaptive long-term semi-Lagrangian method for accurate velocity advection
Authors: Sato Takahiro , Batty Christopher , Igarashi Takeo , Ando Ryoichi 
Published: August 2018

Abstract
We introduce a new advection scheme for fluid animation. Our main contribution is the use of long-term temporal changes in pressure to extend the commonly used semi-Lagrangian scheme further back along the time axis. Our algorithm starts by tracing sample points along a trajectory following the velocity field backwards in time for many steps. During this backtracing process, the pressure gradient along the path is integrated to correct the velocity of the current time step. We show that our method effectively suppresses numerical diffusion, retains small-scale vorticity, and provides better long-term kinetic energy preservation.

Published: August 2018

AbstractBackgroundIn patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and a negative finding on CT angiography (CTA), further imaging with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is commonly performed to identify the source of bleeding. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether negative findings on CTA can reliably exclude aneurysms in patients with acute SAH.MethodsThis retrospective study identified all DSAs performed between August 2010 and July 2014 within our institution. CT angiography was performed with a 64-section multidetector row CT scanner. Only DSAs from patients with confirmed SAH and a negative CTA result were included in the final analyses. A fellowship-trained neuroradiologist reviewed the imaging results.ResultsOf the 857 DSAs, 50 (5.83%) were performed in 35 patients with CTA-negative SAH. Of the 35 patients, three (8.57%) had positive findings on the DSA. In one patient, suspicious dissection of the extra- and intra-cranial segment of the right vertebral artery could not be confirmed even in retrospect. In the second patient, the suspicious finding of tiny protuberance from the left paraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA) on DSA did not change on follow-up and did not change patient’s management. The third patient had a posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm, which was not seen on the initial CTA owing to the incomplete coverage of the head on the CTA.ConclusionIn patients with SAH, negative findings on a technically sound CTA are reliable in ruling out aneurysms in any pattern of SAH or no blood on CT. Our observations need to be confirmed with larger prospective studies.
A Trace Formula for the Index of B-Fredholm Operators
Authors: Berkani Mohammed 
Published: August 2018

AbstractIn this paper we define B-Fredholm elements in a Banach algebraAmodulo an idealJofA. When a trace function is given on the idealJ, it generates an index for B-Fredholm elements. In the case of a B-Fredholm operatorTacting on a Banach space, we prove that its usual index ind(T) is equal to the trace of the commutator [T, T0], whereT0is a Drazin inverse ofTmodulo the ideal of finite rank operators, extending Fedosov's trace formula for Fredholm operators (see Böttcher and Silbermann [Analysis of Toeplitz operators, 2nd edn (Springer, 2006)]. In the case of a primitive Banach algebra, we prove a punctured neighbourhood theorem for the index.
SCARS, MARKED BODIES, AND SUFFERING: THE MULELE ‘REBELLION’ IN POSTCOLONIAL CONGO
Authors: KALEMA EMERY M. 
Published: August 2018

AbstractThis article examines the scars and marks left on the bodies of survivors of the Mulele rebellion (DR Congo), their signifying capacity, their relationship not only with the body but also with the uncertainty of time, the arresting of time, and the annihilation of future time that the scars and marks seem to both signify and put into effect by making the body useless, undesirable, and revolting to others. Drawing on extensive oral interviews and other forms of evidence, including scars and marks on the bodies of survivors, as well as a body of theory on psychoanalysis, continental mirror, time, laughter, and the gaze of others, this article argues that to be tortured during the rebellion was unimaginably terrible. But the suffering did not end there. There was something beyond that, something even more important that caused a kind of psychic suffering, which not only exceeded the physical, but also extended across time.
GUERRILLA BROADCASTERS AND THE UNNERVED COLONIAL STATE IN ANGOLA (1961–74)
Authors: MOORMAN MARISSA J. 
Published: August 2018

AbstractThis article explores the relationship between Angolan guerrilla broadcasts and their effects on the Portuguese counterinsurgency project in their war to hold on to their African colonies. The Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA'sAngola Combatente) and National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA'sVoz de Angola Livre) broadcasts allowed these movements to maintain a sonic presence in the Angolan territory from exile and to engage in a war of the airwaves with the Portuguese colonial state with whom they were fighting a ground war. First and foremost, it analyzes the effects of these rebel broadcasts on listeners, be they state or non-state actors. A reading of the archives of the state secret police and military exposes the nervousness and weakness of the colonial state even as it was winning the war.
Routing ethnic violence in a divided city: walking in the footsteps of armed mobs in Jos, Nigeria
Authors: Madueke Kingsley L. 
Published: August 2018

AbstractScholars of ethnic riots disagree on which are more susceptible to collective violence between ethnically segregated and diverse socio-spatial settings. Studies of riot-prone cities have produced contradictory conclusions. This article proposes that the ambivalence stems in part from disregarding the mobile nature of armed mobs and conflating their origins with their locations of violence. Drawing upon extensive ethnographic fieldwork involving mobile interviews, in-depth discussions and visual documentation, the article maps the footsteps of armed mobs from their origins to sites of confrontation during the 2008 Christian–Muslim riots in Jos, Nigeria. Findings suggest both segregated and mixed settlements contributed to violence. While armed mobs were likelier to originate from segregated neighbourhoods, mixed settlements, especially those sandwiched between segregated ones, served as frontiers for fighting; armed mobs preferred narrow alleys inaccessible to security forces. These findings' implications can advance the understanding and management of ethnic riots in urban areas.
Stress, Psychological Resources, and HPA and Inflammatory Reactivity During Late Adolescence

Published: August 2018

AbstractPsychosocial stress during childhood and adolescence is associated with alterations in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and with heightened inflammation, both of which are implicated in poor health; however, factors that may protect against these effects relatively early in life are not well understood. Thus, we examined whether psychosocial resources protect against stress-related alterations in the HPA axis and heightened inflammation in a sample of 91 late adolescents. Participants completed measures of various stressors (major life events, daily interpersonal stress, early adversity), and psychosocial resources (mastery, optimism, self-esteem, and positive reappraisal). They also completed the Trier Social Stress Test and provided saliva and blood samples for the assessment of cortisol and interleukin-6 reactivity. Each of the stressors was associated with lower cortisol reactivity. Additionally, associations with major life events and daily stress were moderated by psychological resources, such that more life events and daily stress were associated with decreased HPA reactivity among adolescents with lower levels of psychological resources, but not among those with higher levels of psychological resources. This pattern of findings was observed only for cortisol reactivity and not for interleukin-6 reactivity. Findings suggest that psychological resources may counteract the effects of certain adversity-related decreases in cortisol reactivity.
