Tele-proximity: Tele-community of Inquiry Model. Facial Cues for Social, Cognitive, and Teacher Presence in Distance Education
Authors: Themeli Chryssa , Bougia Anna 
Published: December 2016

<p class="3">Distance education is expanding in all continents, and the use of video has dominated internet. Synchronous Video Communication (SVC) has not been an option thoroughly investigated and practitioners, who use and design synchronous learning scenarios, are in urgent need of guidance. Distant learners face many barriers, and as a result, they drop out more frequently than on-campus students. Educators seem to be equally affected by the “transactional distance” and the new digital literacies needed for facilitating online learning. This study explores the educators’ perspective on how SVC could offer alternative educational forms and possibilities for distance learning. Findings had indicated that the use of visual communication and human to human contact (prosopogonosia: seeing faces) could have a strong impact on learning and teaching, therefore, a theory called Tele-proximity was formulated. Tele-proximity is defined as online embodiment that explains how instructors and students are connected in synchronous networked environment via tele-operations. SVC creates a sense of place or a stage where online identities perform and highlights recent research on audio-visual signals in communication and team work (Pentland, 2012, 2008). The theory can be seen as an extension of the Community of Inquiry Model<strong> </strong>(Garrison, Anderson &amp; Archer, 2000) and a theoretical framework according to which learning objectives could be designed. Transactional distance could be minimized and may be implemented to facilitate more synchronous, visual, and humane options in distance education.</p>
Reading Online in Foreign Languages: A Study of Strategy Use
Authors: Cheng Richard Tsan-Jui 
Published: December 2016

<p class="3">Scores of studies have established that when learning online, students must be equipped with different sets of strategies and skills than in a physical classroom setting (Anderson, 2003; Broadbent &amp; Poon, 2015; Coiro, 2007; Leu et al., 2007; Michinov, Brunot, Le Bohec, Juhel, &amp; Delaval, 2011; Salmon, 2013). The present study, by virtue of exploring foreign language learners’ online reading experience, aimed to identify the reading strategies that learners would use when engaged in online reading activities in the target foreign languages. Thirty-two foreign language learners whose native language was English participated in the study. The Online Survey of Reading Strategies (OSORS) designed by Anderson (2003) was administered to investigate the following four research questions: (1) What are the strategies that language learners would or would not use when reading online in foreign languages? (2) Would foreign language learners use some of the online reading strategies more frequently than other strategies? (3) Would different levels of foreign language proficiencies influence language learners’ use of the strategies? (4) What could foreign language teachers do in their instruction to help students acquire and broaden their repertoire of online reading strategies? Data analysis demonstrated the most and least frequently used strategies of the foreign language learners and uncovered a significant difference in the frequency of use among the strategies. However, there was no significant difference found between the use of online reading strategies and learners’ foreign language proficiencies. Implications and suggestions for future research and practice were proposed accordingly. </p>

Impaired glucose tolerance was found in 15 cases and high HOMA-IR was found in 10 cases. Total number of cases of abnormal glucose metabolism was found in 55 (68.8%) cases of lichen planus. In conclusion, patients with lichen planus have higher risk of abnormal glucose metabolism specially diabetes mellitus.
Rôle des organes des sens dans le comportement de capture chez la larve d'Agrion splendens Harris 1782 (Odonates, Zygoptères)
Authors: Caillère Louis 
Published: December 2016

Chez la larve d'Agrion splendens, le rôle joué par les mécano-récepteurs dans la détection et la capture des proies est prédominant. Ces mécanorécepteurs sont situés essentiellement sur les pattes et les antennes.
Chez l'animal aux antennes intactes, il existe un gradient de sensibilité tarsale qui serait linéaire.
L'amputation des antennes entraîne une suppléance sensorielle : la capture peut avoir lieu consécutivement aux excitations tarsales. Cependant, plus le niveau d'amputation est élevé, plus la sensibilité des tarses augmente.
Contribution à l'étude de la biologie et de l'écologie d'un coléoptère entomophage : Xylodrepa quadripunctata (Schreb.) Silphidae
Authors: David Jean , Boulétreau Michel 
Published: December 2016

Xylodrepa quadripunctata est une espèce de silphe entomophage répandue dans les forêts à feuilles caduques et qui se nourrit aux dépens de lépidoptères. Son cycle biologique est remarquablement bien ajusté à l'évolution saisonnière de la biocénose et à la prolifération des chenilles au printemps. L'adulte mène une vie active, chassant les chenilles sur les arbres, depuis la fin avril jusqu'au début juin, puis meurt. Les larves se développent à terre et s'attaquent en particulier aux chrysalides. La mue imaginale a lieu en juin et les jeunes imagos restent dans les logettes nymphales jusqu'au printemps de l'année suivante.
En fonction des observations, quelques estimations très indirectes ont été tentées afin de connaître l'importance de ce prédateur. Il apparaît que Xylodrepa quadripunctata ne joue certainement pas un rôle prépondérant dans la limitation des pullulations de lépidoptères. Cependant son importance dans la biocénose, par rapport aux autres espèces prédatrices, n'est certainement pas négligeable.

ABSTRACT
We report on the diversity in quasar spectra from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. After filtering the spectra to mitigate selection effects and Malmquist bias associated with a nearly flux-limited sample, we create high signal-to-noise ratio composite spectra from 58,656 quasars (

), binned by luminosity, spectral index, and redshift. With these composite spectra, we confirm the traditional Baldwin effect (BE, i.e., the anti-correlation of C iv equivalent width (EW) and luminosity) that follows the relation

with slope

, −0.35 ± 0.005, and −0.41 ± 0.005 for z = 2.25, 2.46, and 2.84, respectively. In addition to the redshift evolution in the slope of the BE, we find redshift evolution in average quasar spectral features at fixed luminosity. The spectroscopic signature of the redshift evolution is correlated at 98% with the signature of varying luminosity, indicating that they arise from the same physical mechanism. At a fixed luminosity, the average C iv FWHM decreases with increasing redshift and is anti-correlated with C iv EW. The spectroscopic signature associated with C iv FWHM suggests that the trends in luminosity and redshift are likely caused by a superposition of effects that are related to black hole mass and Eddington ratio. The redshift evolution is the consequence of a changing balance between these two quantities as quasars evolve toward a population with lower typical accretion rates at a given black hole mass.
A NEW METHOD TO QUANTIFY AND REDUCE THE NET PROJECTION ERROR IN WHOLE-SOLAR-ACTIVE-REGION PARAMETERS MEASURED FROM VECTOR MAGNETOGRAMS
Authors: Falconer David A. , Tiwari Sanjiv K. , Moore Ronald L. , Khazanov Igor 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACT
Projection errors limit the use of vector magnetograms of active regions (ARs) far from the disk center. In this Letter, for ARs observed up to 60° from the disk center, we demonstrate a method for measuring and reducing the projection error in the magnitude of any whole-AR parameter that is derived from a vector magnetogram that has been deprojected to the disk center. The method assumes that the center-to-limb curve of the average of the parameter’s absolute values, measured from the disk passage of a large number of ARs and normalized to each AR’s absolute value of the parameter at central meridian, gives the average fractional projection error at each radial distance from the disk center. To demonstrate the method, we use a large set of large-flux ARs and apply the method to a whole-AR parameter that is among the simplest to measure: whole-AR magnetic flux. We measure 30,845 SDO/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager vector magnetograms covering the disk passage of 272 large-flux ARs, each having whole-AR flux >1022 Mx. We obtain the center-to-limb radial-distance run of the average projection error in measured whole-AR flux from a Chebyshev fit to the radial-distance plot of the 30,845 normalized measured values. The average projection error in the measured whole-AR flux of an AR at a given radial distance is removed by multiplying the measured flux by the correction factor given by the fit. The correction is important for both the study of the evolution of ARs and for improving the accuracy of forecasts of an AR’s major flare/coronal mass ejection productivity.
EnKF with closed-eye period – towards a consistent aggregation of information in soil hydrology
Authors: Bauser Hannes H. , Jaumann Stefan , Berg Daniel , Roth Kurt 
Published: December 2016

Abstract. The representation of soil water movement exposes uncertainties in all model components. We assess the key uncertainties for the specific hydraulic situation of a 1-D soil profile with TDR (time domain reflectometry)-measured water contents. The uncertainties addressed are initial condition, soil hydraulic parameters, small-scale heterogeneity, upper boundary condition, and the local equilibrium assumption by the Richards equation. We employ an ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) with an augmented state to represent and estimate all key uncertainties, except for the intermittent violation of the local equilibrium assumption. For the latter, we introduce a closed-eye EnKF to bridge the gap. Due to an iterative approach, the EnKF was capable of estimating soil parameters, Miller scaling factors and upper boundary condition based on TDR measurements during a single rain event. The introduced closed-eye period ensured constant parameters, suggesting that they resemble the believed true material properties. This closed-eye period improves predictions during periods when the local equilibrium assumption is met, but requires a description of the dynamics during local non-equilibrium phases to be able to predict them. Such a description remains an open challenge. Finally, for the given representation our results show the necessity of including small-scale heterogeneity. A simplified representation with Miller scaling already yielded a satisfactory description.
A Twenty-First-Century Grapes of Wrath: Jesmyn Ward's Salvage the Bones
Authors: Railsback Brian 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
Jesmyn Ward's 2011 National Book Award-winning novel, Salvage the Bones, is a striking complement to Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. Like the Joad family, the Batistes of Bois Sauvage, Mississippi, are economic outcasts at the mercy of social and environmental forces beyond their control. By the end of the novel, the Batistes have no home; after the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, they end up like the Joads: homeless flood victims with no hope except their innate survival instinct and their tenacious ability to lean on each other. Salvage the Bones reminds us that for the impoverished in the United States and around the globe, the dismal existence portrayed in The Grapes of Wrath not only still exists but in some ways has become worse.
Specters of Joad
Authors: Brevda William 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
Looking back after seventy-seven years, readers find the most haunting passage in The Grapes of Wrath to be Tom Joad's famous farewell to his mother, the “I'll be there” passage. Although Leslie Fiedler dismissed it as “fashionable left-wing soapbox rhetoric,” he misses the point. The death of the socialist dream conjures a ghost, and a ghost, by definition, “never dies, it remains always to come and to come back.” A specter is haunting The Grapes of Wrath—the specter of Tom Joad.

Published: December 2016

This is the second of a number of planned data papers presenting modelled vector distributions produced originally during the ECDC funded VBORNET project. This work continues under the VectorNet project now jointly funded by ECDC and EFSA. Further data papers will be published after sampling seasons when more field data will become available allowing further species to be modelled or validation and updates to existing models. The data package described here includes those mosquito species first modelled in 2013 & 2014 as part of the VBORNET gap analysis work which aimed to identify areas of potential species distribution in areas lacking records. It comprises three species models together with suitability masks based on land class and environmental limits. The species included as part of this phase are the mosquitoes Aedes vexans, Anopheles plumbeus and Culex modestus.The known distributions of these species within the area covered by the project (Europe, the ­Mediterranean Basin, North Africa, and Eurasia) are currently incomplete to a greater or lesser degree. The models are designed to fill the gaps with predicted distributions, to provide a) assistance in ­targeting surveys to collect distribution data for those areas with no field validated information, and b) a first indication of the species distributions within the project areas.

Published: December 2016

ObjectiveTo evaluate the change in incidence rate of shoulder arthroplasty, the utilization of shoulder arthroplasty for specific indications, and the surgeon volume trends associated with these procedures between 2005 and 2013.MethodsA population‐based cohort study was conducted using the more than 7 million members of an integrated health care system in California. Cases of shoulder arthroplasties performed between 2005 and 2013 were identified using a shoulder arthroplasty registry. Annual shoulder arthroplasty incidence rates per 100,000 patients were determined, and adjusted yearly changes in rates were estimated using incidence rate ratios (IRRs). Changes in surgeon volumes by year and number of surgeons performing different procedures were also compared.ResultsThe incidence of shoulder arthroplasty per 100,000 members increased from 6.1 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 5.5–6.7) in 2005 to 13.4 (95% CI 12.5–14.2) in 2013. In patients with osteoarthritis, there was increasing utilization of total shoulder arthroplasty (IRR 1.12 [95% CI 1.11–1.14]) and decreasing utilization of hemiarthroplasty (IRR 0.91 [95% CI 0.89–0.94]). For patients with rotator cuff tear arthropathy, there was an increase in utilization of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (IRR 1.33 [95% CI 1.29–1.37]) but no change in hemiarthroplasty (IRR 0.99 [95% CI 0.92–1.05]). The average surgeon yearly volume increased for total shoulder arthroplasty (P < 0.001) and for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (P = 0.020).ConclusionShoulder arthroplasty is being used with greater frequency in this population. Surgeons are performing a greater yearly volume of total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty.
