How Do Martensitic Twin Boundaries Move?
Authors: Ackland Graeme J. , Pinsook Udomsilp 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThe martensitic phase transformation from bcc to hcp underlies a number of curious effects, including shape-memory and superelasticity. The distinctive feature is the microscopic reversibility of the transition: at the atomic level, the position of each atom is uniquely related between phases. Moreover, this one-to-one relationship holds not only for the perfect crystal transformation mechanism, but also for the topological defects (such as twin boundaries) which are created in the transformation. Furthermore, for shape memory effect the microscopic relationship must be preserved by the deformation mechanism active in the material. In this paper, we examine the microscopic phenomena which allow these relationships to hold, and the consequences for shape-memory alloy design.
Caregiver burden in haemophilia: results from a single UK centre
Authors: Khair Kate , Mackensen Sylvia Von 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Haemophilia caregivers face limitations in their life leading to perceived burden. This single-centre study investigates the impact of burden on caregivers’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods: Questionnaires for caregivers comprised demographic data, HRQoL (EQ-5D, SF-36) and caregiver burden (IOF: Impact on Family Scale). Children were also asked about their HRQoL (EQ-5D, Haemo-QoL Short Form). Results: 20 consecutive parent/child dyads participated. 80% were mothers (mean age of 39.80±6.2 years) with 1-3 haemophilic children aged 8-17 years and 2.5±1.2 children <18 years living in the household. Mothers did most childcare (80%), 50% worked part-time, and 55% reported that haemophilia had an economic impact on their family. 80% of boys had haemophilia A; 60% were severely affected. Most received home treatment (85%) and prophylaxis (80%). Caregivers’ and boys’ HRQoL was similarly good (EQ-5Dparents M=0.90±0.1 vs. EQ-5Dchild M=0.81±0.3); by contrast, boys reported better values in the EQ-VAS (Mchild=90.25±10.0 vs. Mparents=82.16±14.8). Caregivers reported highest impairments in the dimensions ‘vitality’ (M=60.00±20.5) and ‘emotional role’ (M=70.37±42.6) of the SF-36. In the IOF, caregivers reported highest impairments in the dimension ‘negative impact’ (M=60.08±20.7). Caregivers reporting high burden had significantly worse HRQoL in the domains ‘bodily pain’ (p<.028) and ‘social functioning’ (p<0.024) of the SF-36. Caregivers who reported that haemophilia had an economic impact on their family and those with a chronic disease showed significant higher impairments in caregiver burden and their HRQoL. Conclusions: The perceived burden of haemophilia has a direct impact on caregivers’ HRQoL. Further studies with haemophilia-specific instruments are needed to verify these findings.
School-based programs for promoting physical activity and fitness in children and adolescents
Authors: Wareing Anne 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Rates of obesity are rising in the general population. People with haemophilia are at high risk for being overweight or obese, and may benefit from physical activity-based interventions. The school setting is an ideal environment to implement physical activity-based interventions as it greatly influences the first two decades of life. However, there is a lack of knowledge about the benefits of exercise for managing haemophilia, as well as possible restriction of physical activity by parents or carers due to a fear of increasing the number of bleeding episodes. Furthermore, schools and teachers may be uncertain of how to integrate physical activity for children with bleeding disorders. This article summarises the Cochrane Metabolic and Endocrine Disorders Group systematic review on ‘school-based physical activity programs for promoting physical activity and fitness in children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 and considers published literature about the role of physical activity within haemophilia.’

Authors: Rosa Eliana Cristina 
Published: January 2017

Este trabalho discutiu a situação da educação de Jovens e Adultos no Brasil. Pretendeu verificar a educação de jovens e adultos, enquanto inclusiva, bem como identificar a acreditação como um dos aspectos relevantes para a melhoria da qualidade do ensino oferecido a comunidade. O estudo de abordagem qualitativa, exploratória, com pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Dos resultados obtidos destacam-se: as políticas educacionais e documentos legais, garantem a inclusão deste segmento populacional, porém não atendem plenamente as demandas, visto os limitados investimentos financeiros, altos índices de evasão escolar, provenientes de dificuldades sociais, econômicas e do fragmentado processo de ensino e aprendizagem. É necessário criar estratégias efetivas para o atendimento das demandas educacionais deste público. Concluiu-se que trabalhar questões educacionais de jovens e adultos deve ser uma das prioridades na agenda educacional das esferas governamentais. O programa EJA se mostra expressivo no campo educacional e necessário em relação às políticas públicas no país. A avaliação e acreditação do Programa é uma das estratégias para a melhoria da qualidade do ensino na busca por equiparar a educação.Palavras-chave: EJA; Políticas Públicas; Inclusão; Acreditação.

Inclusão e emancipação subjetiva, social e cultural de pessoas com deficiência: reflexões à luz das contribuições de Paulo Freire
Authors: Santos Luciana Stoppa dos , Legore Ana Claudia Alves 
Published: January 2017

O presente artigo se dedica a lançar algumas reflexões sobre o pensamento de Paulo Freire, suas contribuições relativas à importância da educação para o processo de libertação e emancipação dos oprimidos e a relação destes princípios éticos, políticos e educativos no que tange a educação de pessoas com Deficiência. Partimos do princípio de que um sujeito com Deficiência experimentou e ainda experimenta histórias de exclusão, humilhação e opressão e refletimos sobre como as políticas públicas nos diferentes campos não tem conseguido efetivamente garantir seu protagonismo e inclusão social. No campo da Educação, apontamos a garantia deste direito como aspecto fundamental para a tomada de consciência sobre a condição que vivencia no mundo e para a construção de um discurso próprio que possa pautar suas demandas e efetivamente transformar sua realidade. Por fim, propomos uma aproximação entre as ideias de Paulo Freire e Miguel Lopes Melero, pesquisador espanhol que se dedicou a lutar pela desconstrução de preconceitos acerca das pessoas com deficiência e suas potencialidades, elaborando um importante referencial teórico para ampliar a reflexão sobre a construção da autonomia pessoal, social e moral destes sujeitos.Palavras-chave: Paulo Freire; Emancipação; Deficiência. ABSTRACT: This article aims at introducing some reflections concerning Paulo Freire's thoughts besides his contributions not only relating to the importance of education based on the process of liberation and emancipation of the opressed but also the relation of etical,political and educative principles regarding the education of the deficient people. First of all, it is of pivotal importance to highligh that when a deficient person lives an exclusion, humiliation and opressive situation the public pulitcs in all over the fileds ,as we concern, are not able to guarantee eficientally the social inclusion. On the education field, we assure the guarantee of this social right as a fundamental aspect to develop the awareness of all the demands of a self-speech, then to transform the reality. Overall, we suggest an approximation between the ideas of Paulo Freire and Miguel Lopes Meleiro, a spanish researcher who devoted oneself to fight for the descontribution of the prejudice over people with deficiency and their potentials, thus perfecting an important teorical referencial to amplify a refletion based on their contraction both personal, social and moral self-governmentKeywords: Paulo Freire; Emancipation; Deficiency.

Delineado a partir de um exercício de sala de aula aplicado a alunos de instituição particular urbana no município de Aracaju-SE, este ensaio abarca questões referentes aos instrumentos e às formas em que a avaliação se apresenta no cotidiano escolar. Conferindo ênfase a Geografia escolar, foi desenvolvido um panorama relacionado as tendências pedagógicas, inspirações filosóficas e práticas educativas desenvolvidas ao longo da história. Preceitos da Epistemologia Genética e da linguagem compõe os elementos que auxiliaram a compreensão da relação do desenvolvimento humano às praticas escolares. Ao final, enfatizamos que o contexto neoconservador-liberal pode limitar a ação e consciência sobre o processo de ensino – especialmente no que tange à educação popular – e, com os indícios encontrados, amplifica-se a necessidade do desenvolvimento de um trabalho contextualizado,reflexivo e crítico.

Children's Stories & the Quantum Administrator
Authors: Dawoody Alexander 
Published: January 2017

This article examines the analogous relation between children's literature and the complex (quantum and chaotic) world of public administration. Public policy and public administration interact with every aspect in our lives and leave their mark on how we perceive reality. One of the formats that express these realities is children's literature. Through the narratives of children's literature, we reflect our experiences and conscious outlooks toward life. Children's literature is a fertile arena for our interactions with the world, and it bridges our past, present and future by extending itself beyond time and place, enabling us to understand and reflect on the complex world in which we live. By understanding children's literature through the complexity lenses of chaos and quantun theories, we are able to liberate ourselves from the artificial constraints imposed on us by the mundane adulthood, and return once again with the same energy and curiosity to questioning the world.

“We’re a Culture, Not a Costume:” Ethical Analysis of a College Student-Led Organization’s Anti-Racism Campaign
Authors: Simmons Nathaniel 
Published: January 2017

Students Teaching against Racism in Society (STARS) attracted both national and international headlines in October 2011 with their anti-racism campaign entitled “We’re a culture, not a costume.” At the time of the campaign, STARS was composed of ten undergraduate student members at Ohio University (OU). Situated in Athens, Ohio, OU has a history of hosting block parties for Halloween. In order to combat “racist” costumes, STARS initiated a campaign, funded by the Dean of Students in order to foster conversation and to bring awareness to racist, discriminatory, stereotypical, and prejudiced Halloween costumes. This campaign raises many ethical dilemmas. Therefore, this analysis seeks to explore implicit and explicit values and ethical dilemmas inherent within the campaign. Since racial inequalities often lead health disparities, this ethical analysis of STARS’ campaign has implications for both intercultural and health communication scholars. Additionally, future implications and directions of research as well as future considerations for similar campaigns are discussed.
Dissertation Proposal Defense - "High-Tech Style:" A Student's Perspective on Another Use of Distance Learning Technology
Authors: Hollar Danielle 
Published: January 2017

Most discussions of the increased use of distance learning focus on using distance learning technology for providing academic courses, a natural response to the high number of students taking distance learning courses. In fact, by this year (2000) it is expected that 11.6 million students will have taken one or more distance learning courses (Goldberg, 1998 in Banas and Emory, 1998). However, there are other uses for this technology within the educational setting. One such use of distance learning technology in the graducate educational setting is for dissertation proposal defenses, particularly when dissertation committee members are located on university campuses that are geographically separated. This paper is a case study describing such an event: a dissertation proposal defense facilitated by the use of interactive television (I-TV) distance learning technology. Included in this case study is the presentation of a student's perspective on using distance learning technology, supplemented by faculty responses to a survey distributed by the student soliciting feedback on their experiences in participating in the I-TV facilitated proposal defense.
Star Search: Learning From Prominent Scholars
Authors: Cayer N. Joseph , Lan Zhiyong , Weschler Louis 
Published: January 2017

The authors assign first-year doctoral students the task of conducting an assessment of the contributions of a "star" in the field of public administration. As part of the assignment, students conduct interviews with the stars using email, telephone, and personal communication. The interviews are the novel part of the assignment. The inteviews foster unusually active and vivid linkages with the stars and, often, a sense of mentorship. This paper details how faculty and students conduct the project. It also offers faculty assessment of its effects.
Bureaucracy in the Hebrew Bible: A Neglected Source of Public Administration History
Authors: Lee Mordecai 
Published: January 2017

Histories of public administration have tended to give minor attention to the Bible. This can partly be attributed to the Bible's unique role as a document revered as being of divine origin, which might discourage secular scholarly inquiry. Another explanation focuses on the lack of originality in Israelite bureaucracy compared to those of other sophisticated empires of that era, such as Egypt. The limited scholarship in the area focuses on the Bible's unique intellectual contributions, its timeless stories about ethical dilemmas and its interesting details about administrative structures and offices. This essay seeks to identify and summarize the major descriptions of public administration contained in the Hebrew Bible and to encourage additional inquiries in this subject area.
Narrative in Literature, Film, Video, and Painting: Theoretical and Practical Considerations of Their Relevance to Public Administration
Authors: McSwite O.C. 
Published: January 2017

The hallmark (or it may just as well be called the stigmata) of the field of Public Administration is its complexity. It comprises far more than the study of management and organization and the technical processes that go with this.Confronted with this degree of complexity, public administration has typically taken a catholic approach to its studies, drawing inspiration, concepts and research information from every corner of philosophy, social sciences, technical fields, and any other area of knowledge that seems to have relevance. It is in this light that I want to discuss some theoretical and practical considerations relating to the narrative aspects of literature (primarily novels), film, video and painting. I wish to consider these as resources for both theory construction and research design and for introducing students to the realitites that the field entails.
Sick Organizations, Rabid Managerialism: Work-Life Narratives from People with Invisible Chronic Illness
Authors: Vickers Margaret H 
Published: January 2017

This article explores the problematic nature of work-life for people with ''invisible" chronic illness, especially given the recent rise of managerialism in modern organizations. Recent Heideggenian, phenomenological, exploratory research has uncovered work-life narratives from people who are "sick" (but who "appear'' well) and who are trying to survive in organizations that are "sick", demonstratingunreasonable expectations, unsupportive cultures-"rabid" managerialism. The argument commences with some comment about the perilous uncertainty characterizing life and work with "Invisible" chronic illness (ICI) which is briefly defined as an ongoing illness that cannot be seen" by others in the work-place. Illnesses such as HIV, cancer, epilepsy and multiple sclerosis constitute examples.
Practical Leadership in Public Administration: The Practicality of Poetry
Authors: Farmer David John 
Published: January 2017

Can practical understandings about the human elements of leadership in Public Administration be gained from poetic literature? This paper argues that it can, supporting the view of a minority of theorists like Leo Strauss and Dwight Waldo. It analyzes four examples of such poetic utility in two Shakespearean plays – Henry V and Richard III. First, it analyzes how the winning-warrior leader Henry V is used in some business schools to teach MBWA (management by walking about). Second, it shows how the poetry in this play facilitates understanding the unconscious of public policy leadership. Third, it analyzes the relevance of text and sub-texts of the losing-warrior leader Richard III. Fourth, it analyzes the depth that Sigmund Freud explained in Richard III, including insights about what is explained as stronzi. The relevance is suggested for Public Administration theory and practice in such ways as upgrading its reflection about leadership.
Breaking the Teacup: Imagining a Perfect Lonely World in The Tempest
Authors: Wachhaus Aaron 
Published: January 2017

The Tempest is set on a remote island, outside the bounds and boundaries of civilization. The displacement that this utopia imposes on the characters stranded there frees them from their own social place and allows them to imagine ideal forms of government and social order. Thus, The Tempest becomes a laboratory for experiments in governance and the exercise of power. Variables include reason, rule, and the power of words to compel and order men in society. This paper explores issues of sovereignty on several levels – control of the land, control of others, and control of one’s self. On all of these levels, a distinction is made between the power to compel and the power to integrate (“powerover” and “power with” in Follett’s terms). The tensions between these forms of power, and between imagined and practiced governance, illustrate problems public administrators continue to face.
