Published: October 2017

This paper is an outcome of the motivation and need to address wide spectrum of teaching and learning styles that are recognized by the students. It is the order of the day that the student’s are encouraged in self-learning, engaged learning, peer to peer learning etc., forproviding better exposure and ambience for easy understanding of the basic concepts. In this context, Mechanical Principles module that is taught at undergraduate level at the Department of Mechanical engineering at Caledonian College of Engineering, Oman is considered for implementing new teaching tools. This is a core module in mechanical engineering where the teaching involves a large group of students which require addressing pedagogical teaching and resource challenges. Various strategies are developed in order to enhance the teaching and learning experience of students such as change in layout of their seating arrangements inside the class room, use of soft tools for wider learning, open ended lab to improve the practical skills, use of CCE learn for online access of course documents, online quizzes for more interactive learning as well as access for students to video lectures &EBrary sources in addition to the traditional teaching. Survey conducted towards the level of satisfaction of students indicates that a majority of students appreciate different teaching and learning methods other than the traditional ones. The present work that is carried out for Mechanical principles module can be extended to other related modules. Definitely any useful teaching learning tools used in addition to the conventional methods of teaching creates attention to student community and enhances their theoretical and practical exposure.
Literatura e Letramento: Uma Análise das Adaptações dos Contos de Fadas Presentes na Coleção a Escola é Nossa, Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental
Authors: Todeschini Marisalba Borges 
Published: October 2017

Este artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa de Mestrado, que objetivou verificar de que ordem são as adaptações dos contos de fadas realizadas na coleção A Escola é Nossa, e como essas adaptações dialogam com o processo de letramento das crianças, verificando se as alterações/cortes ali efetuados comprometem as potencialidades trazidas pela literatura ao processo de letramento. Para isso analisaram-se as propostas de atividades e adaptações dos contos: Chapeuzinho Vermelho, O Gato de Botas e O Patinho Feio, presentes nos livros destinados ao 1º, 3º e 4º anos, respectivamente, além das versões dos Irmãos Grimm e Andersen. Buscamos, na bibliografia, estudos de Soares (2010); Kleiman (1995 e 1999); Bettelheim (1980); Corso & Corso (2006); (Cashdan, 2000); Coelho (2000), Cândido (1979), Zilberman (1998/2005), entre outros. O estudo mostrou-nos que há a predominância da função pragmática nas atividades com os contos, e suas adaptações mais inibem do que contribuem para o processo de letramento, pois abortam as funções estéticas e catárticas que poderiam servir de passaporte para o mundo da leitura na escola e fora dela.

Las nuevas tecnologías digitalizadas han permitido mejorar la adaptación marginal e interna de una restaura- ción, permitiendo migrar de la técnica de cera pérdida colada por centrifugación (CPC) a la fabricación aditiva y sustractiva por CAD/CAM como el sistema de fresado de bloque blando (SMB). Objetivos: Comparar las discrepancias marginal e interna de cofias unitarias de aleación Co-Cr sobre una línea de terminación chamfer, confeccionadas con dos técnicas: CPC y SMB, determinando cual técnica tuvo mejor adaptación marginal e interna. Material y Métodos: Se fabricaron 13 cofias metálicas unitarias de aleación Co-Cr para cada técnica a evaluar. Se utilizó la réplica de silicona para evaluar las discrepancias marginales e internas, cada muestra fue seccionada en cruz en sentido vestíbulo-palatino y en sentido mesio-distal, luego con un estéreomicroscopio se evaluó la zona cervical, axial y oclusal. Resultados: Se evaluó los supuestos de normalidad con la prueba de Shapiro-Wilk. Los análisis estadísticos fueron la prueba t de Student y U Mann-Whitney. La SMB obtuvo una menor discrepancia marginal en sentido vestíbulo-palatino en comparación con la CPC encontrándose diferencia estadísticamente significativas (p<0,05), pero en sentido mesio-distal numéricamente el SMB obtuvo una menor discrepancia marginal pero no hubo diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p<0,05). La menor discrepancia interna fue para CPC en la zona axial tanto en sentido vestíbulo-palatino y mesio-distal con diferencia estadísti- camente significativa (p<0,05) pero en la zona oclusal tanto en sentido vestíbulo-palatino y mesio-distal presen- taron menor discrepancia interna la SMB con diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p<0,05). Conclusiones: Las cofias que presentaron una mejor adaptación marginal fueron las que se confeccionaron mediante la SMB. Las que presentaron mejor adaptación interna en la zona axial fueron las cofias realizadas mediante la CPC y en la zona oclusal presentaron mejor adaptación interna la SMB.

Published: October 2017

Background. Little is known about the health risks of air pollution and cardiorespiratory diseases, globally, across regions and populations, which may differ because of external factors. Objectives. We systematically reviewed the evidence on the association between air pollution and cardiorespiratory diseases (hospital admissions and mortality), including variability by energy, transportation, socioeconomic status, and air quality. Search Methods. We conducted a literature search (PubMed and Web of Science) for studies published between 2006 and May 11, 2016. Selection Criteria. We included studies if they met all of the following criteria: (1) considered at least 1 of these air pollutants: carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, or particulate matter (PM2.5 or PM10); (2) reported risk for hospital admissions, mortality, or both; (3) presented individual results for respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, or both; (4) considered the age groups younger than 5 years, older than 65 years, or all ages; and (5) did not segregate the analysis by gender. Data Collection and Analysis. We extracted data from each study, including location, health outcome, and risk estimates. We performed a meta-analysis to estimate the overall effect and to account for both within- and between-study heterogeneity. Then, we applied a model selection (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator) to assess the modifier variables, and, lastly, we performed meta-regression analyses to evaluate the modifier variables contributing to heterogeneity among studies. Main Results. We assessed 2183 studies, of which we selected 529 for in-depth review, and 70 articles fulfilled our study inclusion criteria. The 70 studies selected for meta-analysis encompass more than 30 million events across 28 countries. We found positive associations between cardiorespiratory diseases and different air pollutants. For example, when we considered only the association between PM2.5 and respiratory diseases ( Figure 1 , we observed a risk equal to 2.7% (95% confidence interval = 0.9%, 7.7%). Our results showed statistical significance in the test of moderators for all pollutants, suggesting that the modifier variables influence the average cardiorespiratory disease risk and may explain the varying effects of air pollution. Conclusions. Variables related to aspects of energy, transportation, and socioeconomic status may explain the varying effect size of the association between air pollution and cardiorespiratory diseases. Public Health Implications. Our study provides a transferable model to estimate the health effects of air pollutants to support the creation of environmental health public policies for national and international intervention.

Objectives. To quantify heat-related deaths in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, caused by the urban heat island (UHI) and explore factors that may alleviate the impact of UHIs. Methods. We estimated district-specific meteorological conditions from 2010 to 2013 using the dynamic downscaling model and calculated the attributable fraction and number of mortalities resulting from the total, extreme, and mild heat in each district. The difference in attributable fraction of total heat between the central and outer districts was classified as the attributable fraction resulting from the UHI. The association among attributable fraction, attributable number with a green space, population density, and budget revenue of each district was then explored. Results. The temperature–mortality relationship between the central and outer areas was almost identical. The attributable fraction resulting from the UHI was 0.42%, which was contributed by the difference in temperature distribution between the 2 areas. Every 1-square-kilometer increase in green space per 1000 people can prevent 7.4 deaths caused by heat. Conclusions. Green space can alleviate the impacts of UHIs, although future studies conducting a heath economic evaluation of tree planting are warranted.

Core Ideas
Nutrient concentrations are low at Big Creek relative to expected biological‐response thresholds.
Nutrient concentrations at Big Creek are typical of streams draining watersheds with similar land use.
Flow‐adjusted nutrient concentrations at Big Creek have not increased over the short‐term.
Nutrient concentrations in streams increase as watershed land area in pasture and urban uses increases.
Nutrient concentrations in several streams of the Boston and Ozark Mountains region of Arkansas, including the Buffalo National River and its tributaries, have garnered tremendous interest. In particular, Big Creek has been the center of attention within the Buffalo River watershed because of a permitted concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO). The objectives of this paper were to put nutrient concentrations of Big Creek into the context of the stream nutrient and watershed land‐use relationship and develop a framework to evaluate regional land‐use impacts on regional water quality. Nutrient concentrations in streams draining the Boston and Ozark Mountains region were related to the intensity of watershed land use. Concentrations in Big Creek were similar to other watersheds in the ecoregion with similar land use, suggesting limited impact of the CAFO on Big Creek at the present time. However, this does not preclude future impacts, and longer‐term monitoring continues.
Seasonal Manure Application Timing and Storage Effects on Field‐ and Watershed‐Level Phosphorus Losses

Published: October 2017

Timing of manure application to agricultural soils remains a contentious topic in nutrient management planning, particularly with regard to impacts on nutrient loss in runoff and downstream water quality. We evaluated the effects of seasonal manure application and associated manure storage capacity on phosphorus (P) losses at both field and watershed scales over an 11‐yr period, using long‐term observed data and an upgraded, variable‐source water quality model called Topo‐SWAT. At the field level, despite variation in location and crop management, manure applications throughout fall and winter increased annual total P losses by 12 to 16% and dissolved P by 19 to 40% as compared with spring. Among all field‐level scenarios, total P loss was substantially reduced through better site targeting (by 48–64%), improving winter soil cover (by 25–46%), and reducing manure application rates (by 1–23%). At the watershed level, a scenario simulating 12 mo of manure storage (all watershed manure applied in spring) reduced dissolved P loss by 5% and total P loss by 2% but resulted in greater P concentrations peaks compared with scenarios simulating 6 mo (fall‐spring application) or 3 mo storage (four‐season application). Watershed‐level impacts are complicated by aggregate effects, both spatial and temporal, of manure storage capacity on variables such as manure application rate and timing, and complexities of field and management. This comparison of the consequences of different manure storage capacities demonstrated a tradeoff between reducing annual P loss through a few high‐concentration runoff events and increasing the frequency of low peaks but also increasing the annual loss.Core Ideas
Spring manure application had less field‐level P loss than fall or winter application.
The impact of application timing depended on precipitation and field characteristics.
Changes in manure storage capacity did not significantly affect annual watershed P loss.
Twelve‐month storage barely reduced P loads but created greater P concentration peaks.
Optimizing site targeting and soil cover is needed for all seasonal applications.
