Illegal Fishing Activity ‒ A New Threat in Mannar Island Coastal Area (Sri Lanka)
Authors: Sosai Augustin Siluvaithasan 
Published: December 2016

Abstract
Illegal fishing net use is one of the most serious threats to the health of the world’s fisheries and for the secure employment of fishers. Illegal modes of fishing adversely affect the fishing industry according to the Fisheries and Aquatic Resource Ministry of Sri Lanka which is the regulatory body of the fisheries industry. In Sri Lanka, usage of illegal fishing methods has increased in recent years. There is an urgent need to identify prohibited or illegal fishing activities and the use of dangerous or harmful substances in fishing. The present study was carried out in the Mannar coastal area from June 2013 until the latter part of June 2014, to identify illegal, prohibited and dangerous fishing activities, and to understand the major threats and impacts on the fishing community and the socio, economic, biological and ecological impacts through field surveys and library methods. The study aims to outline appropriate planning and solutions to minimize illegal fishing and to save the coastal biodiversity and fishing community.

Abstract
In 2009, 36 fish were sampled from two stations in the Karoon River near an industrial site. Two species of fish, Barbus grypus and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix were analyzed for total mercury (Hg) concentration in liver and muscle tissues. The average concentrations of total Hg in liver of B. grypus were 18.92 and 10.19 μg.g-1 in stations 1 and 2 respectively. The corresponding values for total Hg in edible muscle of Barbus grypus were 8.47 and 0.08 μg.g-1. The average concentrations of Hg in the liver of H. molitrix were 25.49 and 12.52 μg.g-1 in stations 1 and 2 respectively. The values for H. molitrix were 11.88 and 3.2 μg.g-1 in station 1 and station 2 respectively. The results showed that the bioavailability of Hg has increased considerably after industrialization and that these values were higher than the standard values as a result of anthropogenic activities in the region.

Published: December 2016

Abstract
Following the accession of Croatia to the EU, a study was carried out on a Croatian Natura 2000 site which includes habitats used by the following fish species of conservation interest: Eudontomyzon vladykovi, Rhodeus sericeus amarus, Gobio uranoscopus, Romanogobio kesslerii, Barbus meridionalis, Zingel streber and Cottus gobio. Harmful effects on fish fauna were found due to: poorly-integrated water management, over-extraction of water for irrigation, fragmentation of riparian vegetation, low cooperation between environment institutions in Croatia and Slovenia, abuse of pesticides, uncontrolled waste water, sources of chemicals and heavy metals, leakage of nitrogen, habitats fragmentation due to dams and canals, non-native fish species, invasive species and gravel extraction. Specific management actions are proposed that take account of the different fish species of conservation interest and their specific biological and ecological requirements.
La narrativa del Norte y su representación del “huacho” fronterizo
Authors: Trejo Valencia Gabriela 
Published: December 2016

El presente texto revisa el concepto del huacho o huérfano enunciado por la antropóloga sudamericana Sonia Montecino en el ensayo Madres y Huachos alegorías del mestizaje chileno. Propongo ampliar el sentido argumentando que la orfandad explícita del huacho alcanza otras latitudes yentornos: migración, frontera México-Estados Unidos, literatura del norte.Centrándome en la representación de este “huacho a la mexicana”, reflexiono sobre su presencia en la obra de Eduardo Antonio Parra y a través de ella desarrollo la idea de un huacho fronterizo, un vástago de padre ausente que análogamente al huacho andino, carece de identidad y desde esta perspectiva, de patria.
Reasons of Weakeningh Pupils’ Learning Motivation: Attitude of Parents

Published: December 2016

One of the major challenges faced by school pedagogues is to increase pupils’ motivation which affects the pupils’ attitude toward school, relations with teachers, learning time and efforts, involvement and participation in the education activities, academic achievements, behaviour and many other factors. According to the research, the pupil’s learning motivation and achievements are influenced by the parents’ engagement into the education process. However, in Lithuania there is still lack of continuous relationship between the school and family, including communication, cooperation and coordination. The aim of this article is to reveal the parents’ view on the involvement in the education process by promoting learning motivation of pupils. The article analyses how parents identify the phenomenon of weakening pupils’ learning motivation and what is the role of the class tutor in cooperating with parents while solving the learning motivation problem.
The research was carried out in February–May 2015 and involved n = 418 parents of children studying in grades five and eight. The selection of parents was based on the probability sample: multistage sampling. In order to empirically justify the attitude of parents toward the reasons of pupils’ weakening learning motivation, it was necessary to identify the assumptions of their involvement in the solution of this problem. The inquiry was carried out only of parents of five and eight grade pupils of the large cities, therefore the conclusions shall not be applicable to the entire parents’ population.
Pursuant to the research and according to the parents’ opinion the motivation of pupils’ learning is decreasing because of the curriculum and education process: the amount of learning load and organisation of the learning process. A very important factor of weakening learning motivation is a pupil himself/herself: his/her abilities and school attendance. Usually the parents treat weakening of learning motivation with learning achievements or with the information received from school. Involvement into the education process is usually promoted by the class tutor whose activities help parents identify the phenomenon of weakening pupils’ motivation to learn.
Ability of Pre-school and Primary School Children to Assess the Quality of Explanations

Published: December 2016

Explanations about the surrounding world are of particular significance for children since it is a way for them to learn and cognise the environment. However, Legare (2014) maintains that little is known about the impact of explanations on learning. For the past decade, explanations have been one of the major themes in the studies of cognitive psychology. They aim at answering the key questions: what is the nature of the phenomenon (explanation), what is it composed of, what are its quality criteria, how is it constructed and perceived by children (Lombrozo, 2006). Hence, the aim of the current paper is to explore the ability of pre-school and primary school children to assess the quality of explanations. The aforesaid aim was posed in accordance with the methodology developed by the authors (the methodology was designed with reference to the study of Baum, Danovitch, and Keil (Baum et al., 2008). The research involved 61 children: 20 pre-school children, and 41 primary school children (21 children of the second grade, and 20 children of the fourth grade respectively). The main conclusions of this research are:
– children’s ability to assess the quality of explanations increases from pre-school age to the second grade of primary school, yet at this period, it remains unchanged (from the second to fourth grade);
– despite that the ability to assess the quality of explanations on familiar and unfamiliar topics differs in both age groups (pre-school and primary school), the differences are not statistically significant. It has been determined that, assessing explanation on familiar and unfamiliar topics, pre-school children and fourth grade pupils are able to distinguish circular explanations on familiar topics in a more similar way than assessing explanations on unfamiliar topics. Moreover, older primary learners are more precise in assessing explanations on familiar rather than unfamiliar topics;
– the oldest children (fourth grade learners) choose a noncircular explanation as a better one more knowingly and reasonably. Meanwhile, children of pre-school age and second grade pupils cannot often point out why they have chosen a noncircular explanation;
– only older children (mostly fourth grade pupils and several second grade learners) are able to recognise and identify the structure of a circular explanation.
The conducted research provides insights into the ability of small children to assess the acquired information. It is noteworthy that the assessment and creation of explanations is one of the mechanisms of learning and development (Bonawitz et al., 2008; Legare, & Lombrozo, 2014). Hence, their impact is obvious: explanations give a basis for learning, whereas prior knowledge is fundamental for explanations (Williams, & Lombrozo, 2013).

Abstract.TEACHING STYLES ACCORDING TO THE GENDER IN PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERSThis research aims to analyze the differences in self-perceived competence dimensions of Primary School teachers in Spain according the gender. A sample of N=388 teachers in schools throught Spain of this educational level, answered the Likert self-rating scale ECAD -EP (Valdivieso, Carbonero & Martín-Anton, 2013) for the measurement of teaching style with three dimensions (a. Social and Emotional , b. Communicative and Relationship and c. Instructional). The process of data analysis focused on descriptive statistical calculations, and comparison of means (Mann-Whithey and Wilcoxon tests). The results showed that there were hardly any differences in self-perceptions of teaching variables, except in the social-emotional factor, which is higher in women. Thus we can say that in the teacher training process it is necessary to include emotional skills in order to equalize attitudes and skills in this subject.Key words: Teaching Styles, gender, self-perceived teaching competence, instructional variables, psychological-instructional profile, Primary Education, social and emotional skills.Resumen.Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar las diferencias existentes en los estilos de enseñanza del profesorado de Educación Primaria en función del género. En una muestra de N=388 maestros en activo tomada de los centros educativos de toda España pertenecientes a la etapa de Primaria, se aplicó la escala de autovaloración tipo Likert ECAD-EP (Valdivieso, Carbonero y Martín-Antón, 2013) para la medición del estilo de enseñan za en tres dimensiones psicoinstruccionales (socioemocional, comunicativo-relacional e instruccional). Se hicieron cálculos estadísticos descriptivos y de comparación de medias (pruebas T y W), revelando los resultados obtenidos que apenas existen diferencias en las autopercepciones de dichas variables, salvo el factor socioemocional que es más alto en las docentes de género femenino. Se puede concluir afirmando que es necesaria una formación del profesorado en habilidades socioemocionales para equiponderar actitudes y aptitudes en esta dimensión.Palabras Clave: Estilos de Enseñanza, género, competencia docente autopercibida, variables instruccionales, perfil psicoinstruccional, Educación Primaria, habilidades socioemocionales.

Abstract.THE SOUND OF INTELLIGENCEThe QvO’s music workshop makes sense from the perspective of multiple and dynamic intelligence, defended by the Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, in which is proposed a new style of education that seeks to experience new sensations that aims to provide students the opportunity to discover their potential in relation to some of the intelligences defined by Gardner. The music workshop aims to offer a response to the necesity of training multiple sociemocionals and cognitive capabilities through a different, flexible and creative mean like music. Our project provides data favorable to the idea that intelligence can be trained through a new, open and creative methodology, which can respond to the needs and characteristics presented by the students of high capacity.Key words: Enrichment, hight capacity, musical education, musical intelligence.Resumen.El taller de música del proyecto QvO tiene sentido desde la óptica de la inteligencia múltiple y dinámica, defendida entre otras por la teoría de las inteligencias múltiples de Gardner, en la que se propone un nuevo estilo de educación que busca experimentar nuevas sensaciones que brinden al alumnado la oportunidad de descubrir su potencial en relación a algunas de las inteligencias definidas por Gardner. El taller de música pretende dar salida a la necesidad de entrenamiento de múltiples capacidades cognitivas y sociemocionales a través de un medio diferente, flexible y creativo como es la música. Nuestro proyecto aporta datos favorables a la idea de que la inteligencia puede entrenarse a través de una metodología novedosa, abierta y creativa, que permita responder a las necesidades y características que presenta el alumnado de alta capacidad.Palabras claves: Enriquecimiento, alta capacidad, educación musical, inteligencia musical.

Objective: The aim of this study is to discuss the reliability and utility of Demirjian method used at calculating dental age determination with the help of using the data of other countries.Materials and Methods: The data of 22 studies, in which dental age determination was done by Demirjian method between the age of 7 - 11 age range from different countries or different regions from the same country, was examined. The inclusion standard in the studies was defined as this study; examining on healthy children, using panoramic films, researching on left bottom mandibular seven teeth. Data belong to girls and boys at the age range of 7-11 and data related with their chronological age and dental ages defined by Demirjian method was organized in tabular and the differences between dental age and chronological age were evaluated. After variance analysis at the factorial order in the data analysis, Bonferroni test was used for multiple comparisons. Type 1 error was pegged at 0,05 (α=0,05).Results: As a result of assessments, from the point of dental age designated by Demirjian method and chronological age, a difference has been detected between the children who live at different countries and live at different regions of the same country. Negative and positive differences has been detected with regards to the utility of Demirjian method by the samples taken from Netherlands, Turkey, Sudan, China, Serbia, Italy, Pakistan, New Zealand, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Malaysia and India. The difference between the results of the Belgian children who live in Romania, Iran, India and children who live in other societies were not that meaningful.Conclusion: Juvenescence and development at children differ from person to person and society to society because of reasons such as heritage, gender, hormones, nutrition, socio-cultural and environmental factors and previous diseases. Development of teeth are under the influence of familiar factors and because of this reason when scoring system in order to designate dental age of French-Canadian origin children, applied to different societies, important differences could be seen between chronological age and dental age. In order to overcome this difference, this method needs modification according to the social features.

AbstractObjective: Ruby, alexandrite, diode and neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd: YAG) laser devices are often used for hair removal all over the world. The mechanism of laser hair removal is targeting melanin in the hair follicle by millisecond pulse durations to generate selective photothermolysis of the hair follicle. Laser application can cause skin burns, thin epidermal incrustation, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation and even can lead to scarring as a side effect especially in dark skin types. Therefore, the selection of the appropriate wavelength laser source according to skin types is considered a prerequisite for pre- venting undesired skin lesions. The legislation of laser hair removal is very controversial situation in our country as well as all over the world. We aimed the to reveal problems that may be encountered in the evaluation of the developed skin lesions due to laser hair removal in terms of malpractice cases and also in the reporting process and intend to suggest some solutions in current study.Materials and Methods: 14 cases with dermal lesions due to laser hair removal who were sent to Mersin University Medical Faculty Department of Forensic Medicine for forensic reporting were evaluated retrospectively for malpractice claim by means of socio-demographic features, findings of examinations and consultations, results of forensic reports, applicator person and place of application and legal statuses between 2006 -2016.Results: 12 of 14 patients were woman and the average age was found 31.21 ± 8.52 who sent for forensic reporting between 2006 and 2016. It was found to be most common in the 25-29 age and 40-44 age groups. Most of the cases made complain within the first few days of the application or after 1-2 years. The most common lesions were found to be, hyperpigmentation (n = 7), hypopigmentation (n = 5), scarring (n = 3) respectively. Face was the most common localization with 8 cases and lower extremities were the second with 5 cases. Dermatology consultation has been requested for 9 cases, 8 cases of them replied as “the detected lesions were complications related to laser application”. Laser applications were applied in “Beauty and the Esthetic Centers” by “Estheticians” in 12 cases, in “Pay Hospitals” again by “Estheticians” but in doctor’s supervision in the other two cases.Conclusion: We think that laser epilation is a medical application and should absolutely be applied by educated medical practitioner or expert or educated health care personnel in doctor’s supervision and exactly in health institutions.
