Abstract
The Thomas Hunt Morgan Medal is awarded to an individual Genetics Society of America member for lifetime achievement in the field of genetics. It recognizes the full body of work of an exceptional geneticist. The 2016 recipient is Nancy Kleckner, who has made many significant contributions to our understanding of chromosomes and the mechanisms of inheritance. Kleckner has made seminal achievements in several different research areas, including bacterial transposition, chromosome organization, and meiosis. She has repeatedly combined traditional genetic approaches with molecular biology, microscopy, physics, and modeling—unprecedented applications of these methods at the time, but which have now become commonplace. Indeed, she is widely recognized as one of the leaders in bringing meiosis research into the modern era. Notably, her laboratory played a key role in elucidating the mechanism that initiates meiotic recombination, has helped to decipher the “strand gymnastics” of recombination, and is beginning to provide insight into the enigmatic phenomenon of crossover interference.
Practical Strategies for Thought Leaders in College Athletics and Higher Education: Developing a “Meaningful Education and Career Preparation as Compensation” Model
Authors: Bukstein Scott 
Published: December 2016

Recent discussion amongst scholars and practitioners related to current issues in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I college athletics has focused on areas such as the widespread commercialization of amateur sports, consistent corruption within athletics departments at NCAA member institutions, extensive exploitation of student-athletes and the necessity of a “pay for play” employee compensation model for student-athletes (see, for example, Benedict & Keteyian, 2014; Branch, 2011; Huma & Staurowsky, 2012; Nocera & Strauss, 2016; Southall & Staurowsky, 2013; Staurowsky, Maxcy, Karcher, Southall, Berri, & Otto, 2015). However, there has been minimal scholarly and industry discourse on how to leverage some of the revenues generated at the NCAA, conference and individual athletics program levels in order to develop innovative and sustainable higher education solutions that would prepare all student-athletes for career and personal success after participation in college athletics. The primary objective of this journal article is to encourage a more informed conversation about important issues in college athletics in part by proposing several practical strategies that would improve the overall student-athlete experience and further align participation in college athletics with the core goals of institutions of higher education. This research note provides an overview of the college athletics business model at Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) institutions within Division I of the NCAA. In addition, this article reviews the current NCAA Division I governance structure. An accurate knowledge of the business and governance realities within college athletics is essential to understanding that paying student-athletes an hourly wage or annual salary is actually not one of the main system issues or central student-athlete wellbeing priorities of advocates for student-athletes, athletics leaders and higher education administrators. This article analyzes the primary issues and areas in which key college athletics stakeholders presently seek change and improvement. This article also spotlights innovative, culturally relevant student-athlete career and professional development programs recently developed by the University of Central Florida, Oregon State University and Vanderbilt University. Finally, this article provides a series of recommendations for all stakeholders involved in college athletics to optimize the student-athlete academic and athletic experience and to improve the level of career preparedness of all student-athletes.

Published: December 2016

Background. Trichomoniasis is accompanied by substantial colonization of the genital tract by various opportunistic microorganisms and reduced amount of lactobacilli. Both processes have a negative impact on the reproductive health and fetal development. Today, however, in the treatment of trichomoniasis insufficient attention is paid to the restoration of the normal vaginal microflora. Aim. An attempt was made to assess the vaginal microbiocenosis of patients with trichomoniasis using traditional and novel molecular methods.Matherials and Methods. Archived vaginal samples from 37 women with trichomoniasis were used, which were placed on slides, fixed in the flame and stained according the Gram method and by methylene blue and stored in boxes within last 15 years. The preparations were evaluated using microscopy and the nucleic acid amplification based test Femoflor and tests for the detection of DNA of sexually transmitted agents.Results. According to the microscopic examination, disorders of the vaginal microbiocenosis were detected in 89.2% of patients with trichomoniasis. C. trachomatis was detected in 8.1% of the samples. Obligate anaerobic microorganisms were determined in all samples, accounting for 8% to 100% of the total bacterialthe majority of the women. Facultative anaerobic microflora was also found in all the patients. Lactobacilli were detected in 8.1% of the women, and mycoplasma – in 37.8%. Conclusions. It was shown that in women with trichomoniasis there are often disturbances of the normal vaginal flora, manifested as the presence of a variety of opportunistic bacteria, accompanied by an inflammatory response. Almost half of the preparations showed bacterial vaginosis. Noteworthy, there was high prevalence of Mycoplasma hominis. For the first time, a technique of DNA testing in the materials placed on glass slides after prolonged storage was applied.

Published: December 2016

Actuality. Pre-eclampsia during pregnancy is a major cause of maternal mortality, intra- and neonatal pathology [1]. Sharply there is a question about the search method of determining the predictors of pre-eclampsia and the degree of influence on a woman’s body for the purpose of timely diagnosis and treatment. Interest in the method of determining the parameters of arterial stiffness is growing every year because of the availability and relative ease of use to determine the degree of maladjustment of the vascular system and assessing the risks of cardiovascular disease.Objective. Evaluation of indicators characterizing stiffness of the arterial wall in pre-eclampsia during pregnancy and after childbirth.Materials and Methods. In a prospective cohort comparative study included 62 pregnant women aged 19 to 35: 35 women with physiological pregnancy without physical abnormalities and 27 women with preeclampsia moderate, without preeclampsia history. Surveys were carried out in time for 22-24, 32-34 weeks of gestation and at 8 hours after delivery. To evaluate the rigidity of the vascular wall used complex BPLab.Results. In pregnant women with pre-eclampsia there is an increase of arterial stiffness parameters at 22 weeks of pregnancy in comparison with the original data at 12 weeks of gestation, IA uvelichilsyana 29.3%, 12.5% PWV. Most significantly in the intervention group to the third trimester have changed the following parameters: IA averaged – - 28% (± 5,5) + 37% from baseline, PWV – 8 m/s (± 0,9) + 12,5%, in the control group: IA – - 39,6% (± 8,1) + 12,2% in comparison with the data of 12 weeks’ gestation, PWV – 7.43 m/s (± 0,82) + 12,5%, demonstrating various adaptive features of the vascular wall in groups. In the early postpartum period significantly positive dynamics of arterial stiffness parameters in the group with physiological pregnancy, pre-eclampsia in the group with the values remain the same or change slightly. Conclusions. Thus, from the data of the pulse wave analysis is the best method for measuring vascular stiffness non-invasively in pregnant women. This method demonstrates the physiological adaptation of vessels to the gestational process, and shows the changes associated with preeclampsia as the background of pregnancy and after childbirth. Thus, this method makes it possible to evaluate the adaptive reserve of the vascular wall for the purpose of forecasting the development of cardiovascular complications.

Retórica y contabilidad: de la crítica retórica a la retórica crítica
Authors: Ruiz Rojas Gustavo Alberto 
Published: December 2016

<em><span>Los estudios críticos del discurso contable, reiteran que la retórica es un instrumento al servicio de la dominación y desconocen los potenciales emancipadores que subyacen en su ejercicio deliberativo. Esto porque la consideran un dominio exclusivo de los grupos hegemónicos, y reducen el concepto a su aspecto discursivo, eliminando sus implicaciones éticas. Este artículo hace una revisión del tema, apelando a una metodología de tipo cualitativo, a partir de artículos de investigación publicados en revistas de contabilidad anglosajonas, que aparecen registradas en la base de datos Scopus. Se identifican algunas experiencias que reconocen en la retórica, un dominio necesario para emprender deliberaciones públicas desde lo contable. Se concluye que una retórica al servicio de la transformación de los lugares comunes y guiada por lo preferible, puede contribuir a la deliberación pública.</span></em>

Published: December 2016

O presente trabalho analisa a racionalidade de agricultores familiares no processo de tomada de decisão quanto Ã implantação de tecnologias sociais em suas unidades de produção, dentro de um contexto de dificuldade de acesso Ã água e produção de alimentos, no semiárido brasileiro. Tendo como base metodológica a observação participante com realização de entrevistas e aplicação de questionários, foi realizado um estudo de caso do projeto “Sistematização e Reaplicação de Tecnologias Sociais”, que propunha a implantação de 14 diferentes tipos de tecnologias sociais de outras áreas do semiárido a um grupo de 20 agricultores familiares, do município de Piranhas, Alagoas. Entre os elementos acionados pelos sujeitos da investigação na constituição de sua racionalidade foram identificados: a penosidade, a disponibilidade de tempo, a disponibilidade de força de trabalho, a disponibilidade financeira, a busca de qualidade de vida, os saberes sobre a natureza no semiárido, os saberes da experiência no ofício de agricultores e a confiança nos vizinhos e parentes. Os resultados apontam o desenvolvimento e a utilização de uma lógica qualitativa, extremamente vinculada Ã s relações com o território e as estratégias de convivência com o semiárido, informada pelos laços de confiança.

Authors: Sinnenberg Lauren , Buttenheim Alison M. , Padrez Kevin , Mancheno Christina , Ungar Lyle , Merchant Raina M. 
Published: December 2016

Background. Researchers have used traditional databases to study public health for decades. Less is known about the use of social media data sources, such as Twitter, for this purpose. Objectives. To systematically review the use of Twitter in health research, define a taxonomy to describe Twitter use, and characterize the current state of Twitter in health research. Search methods. We performed a literature search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and CINAHL through September 2015. Selection criteria. We searched for peer-reviewed original research studies that primarily used Twitter for health research. Data collection and analysis. Two authors independently screened studies and abstracted data related to the approach to analysis of Twitter data, methodology used to study Twitter, and current state of Twitter research by evaluating time of publication, research topic, discussion of ethical concerns, and study funding source. Main results. Of 1110 unique health-related articles mentioning Twitter, 137 met eligibility criteria. The primary approaches for using Twitter in health research that constitute a new taxonomy were content analysis (56%; n = 77), surveillance (26%; n = 36), engagement (14%; n = 19), recruitment (7%; n = 9), intervention (7%; n = 9), and network analysis (4%; n = 5). These studies collectively analyzed more than 5 billion tweets primarily by using the Twitter application program interface. Of 38 potential data features describing tweets and Twitter users, 23 were reported in fewer than 4% of the articles. The Twitter-based studies in this review focused on a small subset of data elements including content analysis, geotags, and language. Most studies were published recently (33% in 2015). Public health (23%; n = 31) and infectious disease (20%; n = 28) were the research fields most commonly represented in the included studies. Approximately one third of the studies mentioned ethical board approval in their articles. Primary funding sources included federal (63%), university (13%), and foundation (6%). Conclusions. We identified a new taxonomy to describe Twitter use in health research with 6 categories. Many data elements discernible from a user’s Twitter profile, especially demographics, have been underreported in the literature and can provide new opportunities to characterize the users whose data are analyzed in these studies. Twitter-based health research is a growing field funded by a diversity of organizations. Public health implications. Future work should develop standardized reporting guidelines for health researchers who use Twitter and policies that address privacy and ethical concerns in social media research.

The approach that the researcher employed in the study was the qualitative interpretative phenomenology. The data were collected through an in-depth interview, and the in-depth interview was supported by an observation and documentation. Then, for the data analysis the researcher implemented the interactive analysis that included data reduction, data display and conclusion. In addition, the researcher also implemented the Interpretive Phenomenology Analysis. The results of the study show that the implementation of conventional religion education in the pluralistic schools has not fulfilled the requirements of the Government Regulation Number 55 Year 2007 and the Minister of Religion Decree Number 16 Year 2010 about the Management of Religion Education in the School. The paradigm that becomes the basis of religion education is the exclusive and inclusive education. The religion education paradigm that is relevant to the conditions of pluralistic Indonesian society is the one which is democratic-emancipative, and pluralistic.Keyword: paradigm, exclusive, inclusive, conventional, phenomenology, democratic-emancipatory
Aplikasi analisis kelas laten untuk mendeteksi karakteristik unik pada konstruk efikasi guru dalam mengajar
Authors: Widhiarso Wahyu , Hadjam M. Noor Rochman 
Published: December 2016

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi adanya kelompok-kelompok unik berdasarkan atribut yang terukur pada efikasi mengajar guru untuk memunculkan tipe-tipe unik efikasi guru. Penelitian ini melibatkan 142 guru yang diminta mengisi Skala Efikasi Mengajar. Analisis kelas laten yang dilakukan memunculkan empat tipe guru berdasarkan responsnya. Dua kelas menunjukkan tipe kategori yang berjenjang (efikasi tinggi dan rendah) dan dua kelas menunjukkan kategori unik (efikasi terkait dengan interaksi dengan siswa dan terkait dengan persiapan mengajar). Adanya dua kelas unik tersebut menunjukkan bahwa dimensi-dimensi efikasi guru dalam mengajar tidak bersifat homogen. Ada guru yang dominan pada satu dimensi akan tetapi tidak dominan pada dimensi lainnya. Adanya guru dengan karakteristik unik ini memberikan konsekuensi agar penyusunan alat ukur efikasi diri dan program-program peningkatan efikasi guru dalam mengajar dapat mengakomodasinya.Kata kunci: efikasi guru dalam mengajar, analisis kelas laten, kategori unik THE APPLICATION OF LATENT CLASS ANALYSIS TO DETECT THE UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS ON TEACHERS EFFICACY CONSTRUCTS IN TEACHINGAbstractThis study aims to identify the unique groups based on attributes measured on the efficacy of teachers to bring unique types of teacher efficacy.The research involved a total of 142 teachers who were asked to complete Teaching Efficacy Scale. The results of latent class analysis exhibit four types of teacher’s efficacy based on their similarity responses to given measure. Two classes show an ordered category (high efficacy and low teaching category) whereas two classes show a unique category (efficacy related to interaction with students and efficacy related to teaching preparation). The presence of these two unique classes suggests that teacher perceptions of his/her ability in teaching can be viewed as a type of attribute. There are teachers swho have high levels of efficacy in one dimension but tend to be low on other dimensions. The presence of this type has several consequences for the development of teaching efficacy measure, and programs to improve teachers should accommodate this unique type.Keywords: teaching efficacy, latent class analysis, unique categories
