With a MOOC MOOC here and a MOOC MOOC there, here a MOOC, there a MOOC, everywhere a MOOC MOOC
Authors: Zemsky Robert 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
Massive open online courses (moocs) are much less in the news today—but that does not mean that they are no longer important. Rather, their importance now derives from what they demonstrated about the fractured nature of college curricula. Almost all moocs were one-offs—a single instructor/performer and a well-bounded subject. moocs almost never connected either to another mooc or to another aspect of the curriculum—and that is the issue. What the fascination with moocs demonstrated was just how easily it was to conceive of the college curriculum as a series of largely disconnected events. What is needed instead is a commitment to rebuilding the connective tissue that once made college curricula in general and general education curricula in particular substantially more than the sum of their disconnected parts.
Matching the Purpose of the General Education Curriculum with the Reality of Its Implementation

Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
This essay examines the current general education curriculum (gec) structure at a large institution where the gec program has been remodeled often to meet student needs. Assessment of this structure has been limited. Faculty and adviser perceptions of the gec's role in the larger curriculum, strengths, areas for improvement, and impact on student learning were explored. Outcomes were observed across the sample as a whole, but the study also explored potential differences in perceptions based on the participants' advising roles and rank and whether they had “ever” taught a gec course. The findings demonstrate that familiarity with and knowledge of the gec program was greatest at the departmental level but declined when participants were asked about gec at the college or university level. This finding was also seen among those who were currently teaching a gec course. Most participants recognized the role of the gec in student learning, retention, and graduation. However, there was no consensus on how the gec should be structured (e.g., variety of courses, skill-specific). These findings will contribute to gec planning and also identify a challenge about how to raise awareness of the gec offerings across the university.
Islam is Essential for General Education
Authors: Meacham Jack 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
The religion of Islam is often portrayed with false and negative stereotypes. If we expect our students to understand and participate in the global world and to be informed and engaged citizens in a democratic America, then it is essential that they develop a basic and sound understanding of Islam. Furthermore, learning about Islam can facilitate the development of students' critical thinking. I describe how I engaged my students with Islam in a general education course with four hundred students and provide examples of critical thinking from students' papers. Given the importance of Islam at this point in history, America's colleges and universities should strengthen their general education programs by requiring that all students become more familiar with and knowledgeable about the religion of Islam.
Liberal Education as Adulthood
Authors: Rowe Stephen 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
This essay is on liberal education as a medium for the cultivation of the expanded understanding of “adulthood” so urgently required in order to address the problems we face in the global era. It argues that one element of cultivation is the reappropriation of the traditional resources oriented to this task that were so enthusiastically dismissed in the rush of modernization and, further, that this reappropriation can avoid fundamentalism and/or reactionary movements when it is conducted in dialogue with persons from other cultures who are engaging the same task. This essay, then, reports on dialogical reappropriation as it is occurring between Western Greek and Chinese Confucian traditions. It also discusses the dynamics of education as transformative practice and the challenges to education so understood in an era of accountability through metrics and managerial science—while we wait for the emergence of a more sophisticated orientation to value, efficacy, and development.
Academic Advising in Individualized Major Programs
Authors: Egan Kevin 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
Academic advisers play an important role in making general education relevant and meaningful to student learning by helping to facilitate the three I's of general education: interdisciplinarity, integration, and intentionality. This essay argues that the “advising as learning” model of academic advising embodies the kinds of advising practices that can contribute to the promotion of the three I's. It specifically examines the integral role that quality academic advising plays in individualized major programs. In doing so, it explores how such advising assists students with embarking on an intentional path of study that draws meaningful connections across multiple disciplines in accordance with both their learning goals and those established via general education imperatives. Finally, the essay concludes with some suggestions as to how such advising practices can be extended into other academic programs.
The Academic Adviser
Authors: Darling Ruth 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
In this essay, I explore the idea that “academic” advisers are “academics” who play a major role in connecting the general education curriculum to the students' experience as well as connecting the faculty to the students' holistic experience of the curriculum. The National Academic Advising Association Concept of Academic Advising is used as a framework to consider advisers as academics and to imagine how this idea can be operationalized on college and university campuses within the context of the current challenges facing higher education.
“Why Do I Have to Take This Course?”
Authors: Kirk-Kuwaye Michael , Sano-Franchini Dominic 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
For a variety of reasons, student engagement in general education continues to be a challenge. Perhaps one way to increase engagement is to connect general education with a deep student need: finding meaning and purpose in their lives or exploring what some have called “big questions.” Recent scholarship has defined these clusters of meaning and purpose needs as “spirituality.” General education can address these larger questions not only through “culture and belief” types of courses but also by having students study the world through multiple disciplines and perspectives. Academic advisers, who regularly talk with students about their values and goals and advise them on the entire curriculum, are in a prime position to help students make personal connections between their search for meaning and purpose and general education.
Engaging Students in Advising and General Education Requirements

Published: March 2016

ABSTRACTThe focus of this essay is to examine how general education requirements and advising are connected in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia. To do this, we begin with a brief description and history of general education requirements. We move next to a description of the advising system and general education requirements of the College of Arts and Sciences and the current requirements and advising system and conclude with an overview of where the College is headed within the next three to five years.
General Education, Advising, and Integrative Learning
Authors: Lowenstein Marc 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
Students' level of engagement with general education and their grasp of its goals are a problem at many institutions. Academic advising, which is often viewed as having the “signpost” function of directing students to the completion of their course requirements, has the potential instead to be a place where students learn to approach general education with intentionality and especially to see how they can fit its pieces together to form an integrated whole greater than the sum of its parts. Since this will be very difficult (albeit rewarding) work for students, inducing them to engage with it is as challenging as inducing them to engage with any other aspect of general education. A partial solution could lie in treating advising as coursework in its own right, an integral part of general education rather than external to it. This proposal creates challenges for advisers and costs for institutions—which are worth meeting if the institutions highly value integrative learning.
Rebundling Undergraduate Teaching
Authors: Sopper John R. 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
This essay examines the convergence between enduring ideals enshrined in the American tradition of general education that many faculty members endorse and the learning-centered approach to academic advising. In light of this convergence, and in response to the notion of “advising as teaching” advocated in the literature on academic advising, I call for restructuring of some faculty roles, responsibilities, and rewards; course and curriculum redesign; ongoing professional development; and a creative approach to institutional planning that will allow more options for careers in college teaching. This will enable at least some faculty to rebundle their scholarly, instructional, and mentoring roles in ways that are professionally more satisfying and better for student learning in general education.
My General Education: “Discovering” Amitav Ghosh
Authors: Richards Sandra L. 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACT
Asked to recommend a faculty reading that might counteract our habits of overspecialization, I nominate Amitav Ghosh's Sea of Poppies (2008), the first novel in his Ibis trilogy. Reading Ghosh has offered me not only a fascinating introduction to the Indian Ocean world but also an occasion to reflect upon the dynamics of a good classroom in which both instructor and student are called upon to acknowledge their intellectual vulnerability, commit to working with others to produce knowledge, and recognize that our efforts may result in more questions than answers or in disagreements as well as consensus. Critical generosity and a doubly attentive listening are proposed as strategies by which faculty and students may navigate Ghosh's large geographical, historical, and intellectual terrain and strengthen muscles of reflexivity, collaboration, and respect.
Student Perceptions of General Education Requirements at a Large Public University: No Surprises?
Authors: Thompson Clarissa A. , Eodice Michele , Tran Phuoc 
Published: March 2016

ABSTRACTThe current study surveyed students’ knowledge of and perceptions about general education requirements at a large research-intensive university. Findings revealed that students harbored misconceptions about general education requirements and illuminated the reasons why students were choosing to take required general education courses at other institutions of higher education. Implications for better informing students about the relevance of courses and opportunities to “rebrand” general education messages for twenty-first-century students are discussed.
Vergoeding van integriteitsschade mede bezien vanuit een mensenrechtelijk perspectief

Vergoeding van integriteitsschade mede bezien vanuit een mensenrechtelijk perspectief
Met vergoeding van integriteitsschade wordt een vergoeding van immateriële schade toegekend wegens een inbreuk op het zelfbeschikkingsrecht. Hiermee verschuift het juridische obstakel van de causaliteit naar het schadebegrip. De vraag is of deze ‘schadepost’ daadwerkelijk juridisch relevante ‘schade’ is. De wetgever heeft zich hierover niet uitgelaten en de Hoge Raad heeft zich op dit punt nog niet uitgesproken. De wijze waarop het EHRM omgaat met het zelfbeschikkingsrecht kan inspiratie bieden voor de invulling van het Nederlandse concept ‘integriteitsschade’. In deze bijdrage wordt daarom niet alleen stilgestaan bij de discussie in Nederland over de invulling van dit concept, maar wordt ook een vergelijking gemaakt met rechtspraak van het EHRM over de schending van het recht op informatie in medische aansprakelijkheidszaken. De vraag is met name hoe de begrenzing van deze schadepost eruit zou moeten zien.
Verkeersonveiligheid

Verkeersonveiligheid. (Personen)schade, oorzaken en maatregelen
In 2014 vielen 570 verkeersdoden en 20.700 ernstig verkeersgewonden in het Nederlandse verkeer. Ongeveer een op de vijf ernstig verkeersgewonden houdt blijvende beperkingen over aan de verwondingen. Alle verkeersongevallen samen kosten de maatschappij naar schatting € 12,5 miljard per jaar. Ernstig verkeersgewonden en fietsers vormen belangrijke aandachtsgroepen. In de kern ontstaat verkeersonveiligheid doordat verkeersdeelnemers kunnen botsen en daarbij letsel kunnen oplopen. Sommige groepen verkeersdeelnemers zijn kwetsbaarder (bijvoorbeeld ouderen) of hebben een hogere ongevalskans (bijvoorbeeld jongeren) dan gemiddeld. Ook bepaalde weersomstandigheden en risicogedrag (snelheid, alcohol, afleiding) verhogen de ongevalskans en/of letselernst. Er zijn allerlei maatregelen genomen om ongevallen te voorkomen en de letselernst te beperken.
CD11b+ and Sca-1+ Cells Exert the Main Beneficial Effects of Systemically Administered Bone Marrow-Derived Mononuclear Cells in a Murine Model of Mixed Th2/Th17 Allergic Airway Inflammation

Abstract

Systemic administration of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMDMCs) or bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) reduces inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in a murine model of Th2-mediated eosinophilic allergic airway inflammation. However, since BMDMCs are a heterogeneous population that includes MSCs, it is unclear whether the MSCs alone are responsible for the BMDMC effects. To determine which BMDMC population(s) is responsible for ameliorating AHR and lung inflammation in a model of mixed Th2-eosinophilic and Th17-neutrophilic allergic airway inflammation, reminiscent of severe clinical asthma, BMDMCs obtained from normal C57Bl/6 mice were serially depleted of CD45, CD34, CD11b, CD3, CD19, CD31, or Sca-1 positive cells. The different resulting cell populations were then assessed for ability to reduce lung inflammation and AHR in mixed Th2/Th17 allergic airway inflammation induced by mucosal sensitization to and challenge with Aspergillus hyphal extract (AHE) in syngeneic C56Bl/6 mice. BMDMCs depleted of either CD11b-positive (CD11b+) or Sca-1-positive (Sca-1+) cells were unable to ameliorate AHR or lung inflammation in this model. Depletion of the other cell types did not diminish the ameliorating effects of BMDMC administration. In conclusion, in the current model of allergic inflammation, CD11b+ cells (monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells) and Sca-1+ cells (MSCs) are responsible for the beneficial effects of BMDMCs.

Significance
This study shows that bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMDMCs) are as effective as bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in ameliorating experimental asthma. It also demonstrates that not only MSCs present in the pool of BMDMCs are responsible for BMDMCs' beneficial effects but also monocytes, which are the most important cell population to trigger these effects. All of this is in the setting of a clinically relevant model of severe allergic airways inflammation and thus provides further support for potential clinical use of cell therapy using MSCs, BMDMCs, and also adult cells such as monocytes in patients with severe asthma.
Charge transfer states appear in the π-conjugated pure hydrocarbon molecule on Cu(111)

Abstract
We report on the results of experimental and theoretical studies on the electronic structure of gas-phase diindenoperylene (DIP) and DIP-monolayer (ML) on Cu(111). Vapor-phase ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) was realized for 11.3 mg of DIP, giving reference orbital energies of isolated DIP, and UPS and inverse photoemission spectroscopy of DIP-ML/graphite were performed to obtain DIP-ML electronic states at a weak interfacial interaction. Furthermore, first-principles calculation clearly demonstrates the interfacial rearrangement. These results provide evidence that the rearrangement of orbital energies, which is realized in HOMO–LUMO and HOMO–HOMO−1 gaps, brings partially occupied LUMO through the surface-induced aromatic stabilization of DIP, a pure hydrocarbon molecule, on Cu(111).
Steep subthreshold swing and energy efficiency in MOSFFETs utilizing nonlinear gate dielectric insulators
Authors: Ota Hiroyuki , Migita Shinji , Fukuda Koichi , Toriumi Akira 
Published: March 2016

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel MOSFET in which an ordinary paraelectric insulator is replaced with one in which permittivity is nonlinearly dependent on the electric field. Technology computer-aided design simulation reveals that a variation in the permittivity of the gate insulator in conjunction with a variation in the gate electric field can lead to excellent subthermal subthreshold swings (34 mV/decade), with high on-currents comparable to those of conventional MOSFETs. We also demonstrate the advantages of nonlinear dielectric MOSFETS (NLD-MOSFETs) over conventional MOSFETs by showing a 10-fold shorter intrinsic delay at a supply voltage of 0.2 V.
Topotactic reductive synthesis of A-site cation-ordered perovskite YBaCo2Ox (x = 4.5–5.5) epitaxial thin films

Abstract

A-site cation-ordered perovskite YBaCo2O
x
epitaxial films were synthesized by combining pulsed-laser deposition and topotactic reduction using CaH2. The oxygen contents (x) of the films could be controlled in a range of 4.5–5.5 by adjusting the reaction temperature. The c-axis length of the YBaCo2O
x
films decreased with decreasing x when x ≥ 5.3 but drastically increased when x ∼ 4.5. In contrast, the in-plane lattice constants remained locked-in by the substrate after the reaction. The metal insulator transition observed in bulk YBaCo2O5.5 was substantially suppressed in the present film, likely because of the epitaxial strain effect. The resistivity of the films was significantly enhanced by changing the x value from ∼5.5 to ∼4.5, reflecting the distortion of the CoO

layers.

Ga1−

x
N double quantum well (QW) structure with an Al content of x = 0.25 ± 0.03 was grown on a 3C-SiC(001) substrate exploiting radio-frequency plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The photoluminescence excitation data reveals two emission bands, which are assigned to the first electron and the third heavy hole (e1–hh3) and the second electron and the second heavy hole (e2–hh2) energy level of the wide QW. Besides in the narrow QW no higher energy levels can be observed. The experimental data is in good agreement with theoretical calculations using a Schrödinger–Poisson solver based on an effective mass model (nextnano3). The exciton binding energy was calculated considering the confinement of the QWs and also the energy dependency of the effective mass for excited energy levels.

<pre><strong>The Prophet Moses In Divan Poetry</strong></pre><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>Divan poetry is a conglomerate formed under the influence of eastern societies' common culture and geographical advantages shared by various communities which is shaped by Islamic civilization and the sense of art. Prophet Moses is known by his place in Abrahamic religions. According to Islam, as a baby he was found in the Nile River, adopted by the Egyptian royal family, and grew up in the palace of the Pharaoh although in that time the Pharaoh ordered all newborn male Hebrew boys to be killed. Moses was forced to leave Egypt when he was young. Eventually, he became a prophet. He showed great patience against deeds of his folk. Divan poets mentioned Prophet Moses in their poetries with his standing against to Pharaoh, miracles like conversation with God in the Mount Sinai, Shacar al-Tur (the tree in the Mount Sinai), magic rod, and white hand. Prophet Moses became a source of inspiration for expression of sufi feelings and thoughts for Classic Turkish Literature poets. This article examines how Divan poetry depicts Prophet Moses and his miracles.</p><p align="center"><strong><br /></strong></p><p align="center"><strong>Divan Şiirinde Hz.
