Internationalizing the Curriculum and all Students’ Learning
Authors: Leask Betty 
Published: February 2017

Internationalization of the curriculum has the potential to connect broader institutional agendas focused on internationalization with student learning. However, the focus of internationalization of the curriculum in policy and practice is more on what some students will experience than on what all students will learn. An internationalized curriculum focused on student learning is defined by two main characteristics. First, it will be connected to the different cultures and practices of knowing, doing and being in the disciplines through the active engagement of faculty in the process of internationalizing the curriculum. Second, faculty who do not have the experience, skills or knowledge required to internationalize the curriculum will be supported by expert facilitators in the process of defining intended internationalized learning outcomes and assisting all students to achieve them.
International Student Enrollment: Evidence-Driven Strategies
Authors: Choudaha Rahul 
Published: February 2017

Higher education institutions often underestimate the importance of research in deepening the understanding of international student decision-making processes and developing enrollment strategies. Institutions must recognize the complexity, criticality and volatility of international student decision-making processes, and should invest in developing data-driven international enrollment strategies by proactively assessing needs, behaviors, and profiles of international students during difference stages of application process.
Governance and Regulation: Do UK Messages Have International Relevance?
Authors: Middlehurst Robin 
Published: February 2017

Reviews of governance and regulation have occupied three of the four countries of the UK in 2011-2014. The debates, arguments and negotiations that underpin these reviews reveal different ideological positions about the role of the state, balances between accountability and autonomy and democratic participation in the governance of institutions by staff and students. External drivers are also part of the picture as governments and institutions alike seek to position themselves in a changing international context. It is hoped that both the ideological debates and the operational solutions developed in the UK will have wider resonance for other countries and regions engaged in the modernisation, expansion, development or re-construction of their higher education systems.
Perspectives on Global University Networks
Authors: Middlehurst Robin 
Published: February 2017

Global networks are proliferating and diversifying between higher education providers and other sectors and groups. Some authors suggest this represents a process of de-nationalization, others that approaches to internationalization that de-nationalize the university will fail. Looking to the past, establishing international consortia and networks appears to have been a response to a range of major structural challenges affecting higher education. Some of these resonate today, but there are also new competitive challenges that encourage institutions to join networks or align themselves with partners for competitive advantage, for substantive and reputational gains. The consortia and networks that exist today illustrate both diversity and coalescence around multiple themes. These include functional and activity-based themes as well as shared interests and values. The question of sustainability over time remains as some networks have survived decades while others have disappeared. Those that recognise cultural, political and intellectual differences and the need to achieve mutual benefits are more likely to be sustainable.
The Challenges of Developing an Autonomous Higher Education System in Afghanistan
Authors: Berger Joseph B. , Thoma Hanni S. 
Published: February 2017

Higher education has made tremendous strides in Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban in 2001, credited largely to a highly centralized approach. Yet as the country and its higher education system continue to develop, institutional autonomy is now a top priority. This paper describes the current state of institutional autonomy in Afghanistan, as well as remaining challenges.
UK Teaching Quality Under the Microscope: What are the Drivers?
Authors: Middlehurst Robin 
Published: February 2017

Under the newly elected government in the UK (May 2015), sweeping changes to quality assurance and the regulatory system for higher education are proposed in England. Proposals include a new emphasis on ‘teaching excellence’ to balance a long-term emphasis on measuring ‘research excellence’ and further marketization. The UK higher education system has had a strong reputation for quality over decades, so international observers may speculate on the rationale for the government’s proposals. This article explores some of the underlying political, economic and social drivers behind the government’s proposals.
Higher Education Research Goes Global
Authors: De Wit Hans 
Published: February 2017

Two recent developments show that higher education research is acquiring a strong global focus: In the first place the creation of the ESRC/HEFCE Centre for Global Higher Education, or CGHE, at the Institute of Education in the United Kingdom, with ten partner institutions around the world; and in the second place the creation of the Group of “Global Centers for International Higher Education Studies”, or GCIHES, in which the Center for International Higher Education collaborates with five other centers in the world, and which has its secretariat at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago. These initiatives can be seen as a product of the “Shanghai Statement, The Future of Higher Education: The need for research and training for the higher education enterprise” in 2013. Where higher education research was in the past limited and mainly focused on national and regional aspects, like the sector itself, the shift is now towards international higher education. This is an important development.
Challenges to Doctoral Education in Africa
Authors: Khodabocus Fareeda 
Published: February 2017

Doctoral education in Africa is at a turning point and African universities are called upon to act as the focal points for growth in African development. African Studies reveal that the growth of doctoral education in the leading universities in Africa are increasing but at a slow rate and universities, must be motivated to produce enough doctorates to contribute to growth of their knowledge economies. The need to create high-level skills demand on the job market is evinced and African universities must be driven by their governments, private sectors and academic communities to generate more doctorates in supply to its labor market.
Private Participation in Higher Education in Sub- Saharan Africa: Ghana’s Experience
Authors: Fram Akplu Henry 
Published: February 2017

Private participation in higher education has contributed to the transformation and internationalization of higher education in Sub-Saharan African countries over the past two decades. The country-specific (Ghana) experience described in this article illustrates the push factors, policy responses, transformations, and ways in which deregulation has contributed to internalization of higher education.
Medierne og islam før, under og efter oprørene i Tunesien, Egypten og Syrien

I stedet for et abstract er her begyndelsen på indledningen: Med lanceringen af den arabiske satellit TV-kanal al-Jazeera i 1996 og den første islamiske satellitkanal Iqra’ i 1998 samt internet og mobiltelefoner skabtes der arabiske offentligheder, hvor det på nye måder blev muligt for muslimer og arabere at kommunikere og interagere med hinanden på tværs af nationale grænser og ofte uden for regimernes agendaer. Over en lidt længere periode, siden 1970’erne, fandt forskellige former for islamisk vækkelse sted i den arabiske verden. Disse parallelle udviklinger – nye typer af medier, større mulighed for kommunikation og nye fortolkninger af islam – har været med til at ændre islamiske normer, udfordret politiske strategier og styrket nye og gamle identiteter i de arabiske lande. De over 700 nye arabiske og 47 islamiske satellitkanaler samt internet debatfora og sociale medier har spillet en væsentlig rolle i denne udvikling. (...)
Preface
Authors: El-Jaichi Saer 
Published: February 2017

I stedet for et abstract er her begyndelsen på indledningen: The contributions presented in this issue deal with a range of debates and questions in contemporary Arab-Islamic thought, focusing especially on the ideas, and key methodological approaches, of prominent twentieth-century Arabic-speaking thinkers who attempt in various ways, and from various intellectual positions, to revive (iḥyāʾ) and renew (tağdīd) the tradition of Islām against the backdrop of modern thought. Historically speaking, the endeavour toward reviving the cultural and religious legacy of Islām within the context of modernity began in the early nineteenth century in direct response to European invasions of the Muslim lands, starting with the Napoleonic invasion of Egypt in 1798. Indeed, in many ways, contemporary Arab-Islamic thought emerged in response to the shock of Western modernity – that is, the unexpected shock that left Muslims with a feeling of inferiority and backwardness vis-à-vis the Christian West due to the latter’s economic, political and technological advances, and military superiority. In the face of this somehow traumatic event, one question, which would be repeated countless times in ideological writings, historical studies, and even fictional works, became especially urgent: “Why did the Renaissance, which fostered the Age of Enlightenment, emerge out of Western thought, not Arab-Islamic thought?” Thus, when Muslim thinkers began to understand why modernity has arisen in the West, they were conscious of the close correlation between the development of European intellectual culture and its culmination in the (re)birth of the Renaissance culture in all its multifarious aspects.

Le déni en alcoologie, à travers ce qu’il n’est pas
Authors: Menecier Pascal , Rotheval Loetitia , Plattier Sandrine , Fernandez Lydia , Ploton Louis 
Published: February 2017

Le malade alcoolique est souvent redouté par la répétition de ses conduites, en référence au traditionnel « qui a bu, boira ». Il est aussi fréquemment réduit à une présupposée mauvaise foi et à des réticences à parler de ses troubles ou de lui-même, rapidement résumées sous le nom générique de déni.
La situation du soigné sera envisagée dans cet article, à travers ses possibles difficultés à communiquer et à investir le support de la parole, à la lumière de diverses références complémentaires neurocognitives (de négligence, d’anosognosie, d’apathie…) ou psychodynamiques (d’apsychognosie, d’alexithymie, d’altération de lecture de l’esprit de la théorie de l’esprit), délimitant ainsi en négatif les contours de la notion classique de déni en alcoologie.
Après avoir passé en revue la diversité des formes du déni, de ses présentations et de ses registres, le texte envisagera les fonctions de cette négation, la considérant essentiellement en alcoologie comme une dénégation, plutôt que comme un déni.
L’objectif de cette revue théorique est de proposer aux soignants de faire-avec et de s’adapter, plutôt que de simplement lutter contre. Enfin, et en contrepoint, la question du déni des soignants sera considérée comme une altérnative présente, voire prédominante.
Adaptation culturelle d’un programme de prévention universel des dépendances pour les enfants autochtones innus
Authors: Cotton Julie-Christine , Laventure Myriam , Joly Jacques 
Published: February 2017

Plusieurs études canadiennes soulignent le manque de programmes adaptés pour les Autochtones dans le domaine des dépendances, particulièrement en prévention pour les jeunes habitant dans une communauté. À l’aide du modèle d’adaptation culturelle de Kumpfer et ses collègues (2008) et d’un devis mixte incorporé, cette étude vise à décrire l’adaptation en « profondeur » du programme de prévention des dépendancesSystème dpour des élèves en provenance d’une école innue du Québec. Pour le volet qualitatif, différents acteurs du milieu autochtone ont été consultés (un directeur d’école, deux enseignants, deux intervenants scolaires, six animateurs, neuf parents) afin d’adapter le programme en « profondeur ». Pour le volet quantitatif, des journaux de bord ont permis, d’une part, de cibler les activités ayant été réalisées et, d’autre part, de déterminer leur degré d’utilité perçue selon les animateurs et les enseignants des activités ayant été animées. Les principales adaptations apportées au programme concernent la durée des ateliers, les méthodes pédagogiques utilisées pour présenter les concepts et l’intégration de références culturelles autochtones. À la lumière de ces résultats, il est recommandé de poursuivre l’adaptation culturelle de ce programme pour ensuite valider sa pertinence culturelle au sein d’autres écoles autochtones et évaluer son efficacité.

Este trabajo analiza el conocimiento didáctico del contenido sobre el modelo cinético molecular de cuatro profesores de secundaria con experiencias, en los primeros años de enseñanza de un nuevo currículo en ciencias para secundaria en México, a través del análisis de contenido. Nuestros resultados muestran como las categorías relacionaas con las orientaciones sobre la enseñanza de las ciencias, el conocimiento curricular, el conocimiento sobre las estrategias de enseñanza y la evaluación, no dependen de la formación del profesorado y los años de experiencia. Sin embargo el conocimiento sobre el currículo si mantiene relación con la formación del profesorado.

Los retratos de Miguel de Cervantes: de la búsqueda del hombre al triunfo del mito
Authors: Lucía Megías José Manuel 
Published: February 2017

ABSTRACT: Miguel de Cervantes has his own gallery of images that have come down to posterity, but who painted the portraits of Miguel de Cervantes that have been discovered over the course of time? Beginning with the verbal self-portrait of himself that Cervantes crafts in the prologue of his Novelas ejemplares (1613), this study traces the route of the different portraits sine 1738 that have been claimed as the true image of the author from Alcalá de Henares. It is a path that follows along the character known as Miguel de Cervantes, which has imposed itself on the myth, taking precedence over the man who lived during the Golden Age. KEYWORDS: Cervantes; Portrait; Cervantine Iconography; Juan de Jáuregui; visual falsifications. RESUMEN: Miguel de Cervantes tiene su propio imaginario, pero ¿a quién corresponden los retratos que a lo largo del tiempo se han ido descubriendo de Miguel de Cervantes? Partiendo del retrato en palabras del propio Cervantes en el prólogo de las Novelas ejemplares (1613), se hace un recorrido por los distintos retratos que desde 1738 se han presentado como la verdadera imagen del autor complutense. Un recorrido sobre la imagen de Miguel de Cervantes que ha dado forma visual al mito, superando al hombre que vivió durante el Siglo de Oro. PALABRAS CLAVES: Cervantes; retrato; iconografía cervantina; Juan de Jáuregui; falsificaciones visuales.
La representació de l’arbre en l’Arbre de ciència de Ramon Llull
Authors: Bonner Anthony , Soler Albert 
Published: February 2017

ABSTRACT: The abundant use of graphic material in the work of Ramon Llull makes for a space where words and images intersect. The figure of the tree which Llull describes verbally in his Arbre de ciència (1295-1296) is a complex and special case of the application of a rhetorical device called «ekphrasis». Despite the fact that the author did not envisage the possibility of making a visual representation, in the work's later transmission attempts were made to provide graphic images with results which were unsatisfactory for many reasons, of which the most important was the fact that Llull conceived of his tree as multidimensional. KEYWORDS: Llull; tree; ekphrasis. RESUM: L’ús abundant de recursos gràfics en l’obra de Ramon Llull és un lloc de confluència de paraula i imatge.

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between flow‐mediated dilatation of the brachial artery and serum endothelial biomarkers and to discuss the feasibility of sonographic evaluation of acute endothelial injury during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery.MethodsSonography was applied to determine the percentage of change in the brachial artery size during flow‐mediated dilatation. Meanwhile, the plasma concentrations of endothelial‐derived biomarkers, such as endothelin 1, nitric oxide, and von Willebrand factor, were measured to monitor the changes in endothelial function. We analyzed the correlation between flow‐mediated dilatation and biomarkers during the perioperative period of CPB in 27 patients.ResultsAll of the biomarkers changed dramatically, especially during the CPB period. There was a negative correlation between flow‐mediated dilatation and von Willebrand factor (P = .001; R = −0.31).ConclusionsA CPB event has a substantial impact on endothelial function, and sonographic assessment of the percentage of change in the brachial artery size during flow‐mediated dilatation allows early detection of acute endothelial function injury in cardiac surgery.
Dual inhibition of Akt and c‐Met as a second‐line therapy following acquired resistance to sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma cells

Published: February 2017

Sorafenib displays a limited efficacy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Some patients with HCC initially respond to sorafenib, but eventually succumb to the disease, indicating that the acquired resistance to sorafenib reduces its beneficial effects. No alternative drugs are available after the failure of sorafenib therapy. Therefore, investigation of the mechanisms underlying the acquired resistance and development of second‐line treatments for sorafenib‐resistant HCC are urgently required. In this study, sorafenib‐resistant HCC cells generated from sorafenib‐sensitive human HCC cells were shown to overproduce hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and overexpress c‐Met kinase and its phosphorylated form, leading to the activation of Akt and ERK (extracellular signaling‐regulated kinase) pathways. Use of specific c‐Met inhibitors enhanced the effects of sorafenib by inhibiting the growth of sorafenib‐resistant HCC cells. Akt inhibitors, a class of second‐line therapeutic drugs under investigation for treating HCC in clinical trials, enhanced the effects of sorafenib, but also activated the c‐Met pathway in sorafenib‐resistant cells. Dual inhibition of Akt and c‐Met by their respective inhibitors, MK2206 and capmatinib, additively or synergistically suppressed sorafenib‐resistant HCC cells in vitro and sorafenib‐resistant HCC xenografts in mice. The anticancer activities of MK2206 mainly rely on its ability to induce cell apoptosis and autophagic death, while capmatinib treatment leads to cell cycle arrest at phase G1. These results provide strong evidence for further investigation on the clinical utility of dual inhibition of Akt and c‐Met, particularly MK2206 and capmatinib, as a second‐line therapy for advanced HCC that has acquired resistance to sorafenib.
Coherently modulated whistler mode waves simultaneously observed over unexpectedly large spatial scales

AbstractUtilizing simultaneous twin Van Allen Probes observations of whistler mode waves at variable separations, we are able to distinguish the temporal variations from spatial variations, determine the coherence spatial scale, and suggest the possible mechanism of wave modulation. The two probes observed coherently modulated whistler mode waves simultaneously at an unexpectedly large distance up to ~4.3 RE over 3 h during a relatively quiet period. The modulation of 150–500 Hz plasmaspheric hiss was correlated with whistler mode waves measured outside the plasmasphere across 3 h in magnetic local time and 3 L shells, revealing that the modulation was temporal in nature. We suggest that the coherent modulation of whistler mode waves was associated with the coherent ULF waves measured over a large scale, which modulate the plasmaspheric density and result in the modulation of hiss waves via local amplification. In a later period, the 500–1500 Hz periodic rising‐tone whistler mode waves were strongly correlated when the two probes traversed large spatial regions and even across the plasmapause. These periodic rising‐tone emissions recurred with roughly the same period as the ULF wave, but there was no one‐to‐one correspondence, and a cross‐correlation analysis suggests that they possibly originated from large L shells although the actual cause needs further investigation.
