The Role Of Collaborative Scholarship In The Mentorship Of Doctoral Students
Authors: Zipp Genevieve Pinto , Cahill Terrance , Clark MaryAnn 
Published: March 2016

The work of a professor is the “scholarship of teaching” (Boyer, 1990). The strength of the teaching and learning environment is fostered by a dynamic interplay between the mentor (scholar) and the mentee (student). Boyer (1990) suggests that in order to be a scholar, one must have “a recognition that knowledge is acquired through research, through synthesis, through practice, and through teaching.” However, as the academy has placed increased emphasis on research productivity as a concrete measure of scholarship, faculty may lose sight of what it means to view teaching as a scholarship. For example, if mentorship collaborations (student/faculty, faculty/faculty) are not viewed as scholarship activities, faculty may limit the amount or depth of student mentorship or peer collaborations to pursue their own research endeavors and thereby compromise the scholarship of teaching. Research is needed to gain an understanding of how faculties view collaborative research in relation to the scholarship of teaching. The purpose of this paper is to first briefly describe the student-centered mentorship model for doctoral students proposed by Zipp and Olson (2008); second, to address the question, “Should the outcomes associated with this model be recognized as faculty scholarship?”; and third, to present pilot data of faculty perceptions on the role of collaborative scholarship in the mentorship of doctoral students.
Using Drawing As Intervention With Children For In-Service Preschool Teachers
Authors: Chen I Ju (Crissa) , Liu Chu Chih 
Published: March 2016

This study provides a basic overview of in-service preschool teachers using drawing as intervention with children. Art therapy is used more often for the smaller children who have more difficulty to describe their emotions and feelings in recognizing words, such as anger, resentment, and different kind of abuses. As a matter of fact, the drawing has become a preferred mode of communication for them. The final result of this study is supporting the said theory. The best predictor of behavioral intention was the in-service teachers’ attitudes while enrolling in the four-month non-credit course in Art Therapy and they believed that this would facilitate their future teaching by much more understanding the children’s behaviors through non-verbal communication and actions. The perceived behavioral control was also the significant predictor of actual application behaviors. This study can provide a valuable reference for those in-service teachers who presently do not have any experience with art as an intervention with children.
Empowering Critical Thinking Skills With Computerized Patient Simulators
Authors: Farrar Francisca Cisneros , Suggs Leslie 
Published: March 2016

Students struggle with the mastery of critical thinking skills which are essential to their academic success. University faculty are challenged to create teaching strategies to help students build critical thinking skills. Nursing faculty at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee looked to research and technology for ways to empower critical thinking skills in students. Faculty found computerized patient simulators were a best practice methodology that empowers mastery of critical thinking skills. This evidence-based integrative teaching format allows the process of analyzing, synthesizing, evaluation, and applying information gathered through observation, experience, communication, and reflection. This simulated interactive format also allows realistic training from basic skills to advanced life-saving skills. The Institute of Medicine recommends the use of simulators to create a culture of safety. Simulation creates a culture of safety for the learner because the realistic training scenario is without risk to patients and healthcare providers. A simple to complex scenario comes alive with simulation. The learners in the scenario are videotaped. Afterward debriefing is done with reflective thinking. The simulation experience is a fun and highly motivated experience conducted in a nonthreatening environment. The learner is able to analyze the experience and learn to improve their skills. Austin Peay State University nursing faculty identified four simulators that can help learners master critical thinking skills. These simulators are SimMan, SimBaby, Novelle Maternal and Neonatal Birthing Simulator, and Comat Sim. These simulators can be used in a variety of clinical settings. Simulators can also be used to teach critical thinking skills in sociology, psychology, and homeland security.
Online Preparation Of Adult Learners In Post-Secondary Education: A Triangulated Study
Authors: Okpala Comfort O. , Hopson Linda , Fort Edward , Chapman Bernadine S. 
Published: March 2016

In this study, data from pre-service school administrators, faculty, and online documents were used to: 1) analyze how pre-service school administrators perceive the online preparation process, 2) analyze how faculty perceive the online preparation of school administrators, and 3) determine the extent to which quality administrators are prepared through the online process. The result of the study yielded strong evidence that the online process is a strong pedagogical tool for preparing quality school administrators for P-12 schools in this era of educational quality and accountability. Perceptions of the participants in this study toward the online process were extremely positive.
Lessons From A Dominican Republic Field Study
Authors: Gunter Michael M. 
Published: March 2016

Utilizing student-centered pedagogy, this case study explores an increasingly prominent and instructive addition to traditional academic coursework - the field study experience. This is particularly true in the arena of environmental education where students learn best by experiencing environmental problems first-hand and then interacting with those involved. From a teaching methods and styles perspective, then, this paper espouses a mix of experiential and active learning strategies. The central message of this essay, however, is curriculum-based, to report on an engaging two-week field trip to examine sustainable development in the Dominican Republic. From this report, the analysis highlights student feedback mechanisms, such as formal class journals, traditional course evaluations, and informal oral consultations with students, both during and after the field study as the basis to offer suggestions more broadly on how to design and implement a field study course.

Published: March 2016

Both management and leadership concepts and theoretical foundations that are established on this subject, as well as the subject of trust and its dimensions were put excessive emphasis on literature of management and organization and several different studies were conducted on these concepts. However, at this point, the important question comes the mind how will the relationship between style of leadership and the concept of trust will show difference with different styles of leadership. This focus of this study is to discover the answer to this question. The area of this study is consisting of AK Parti (Justice and Government Party) and CHP (Republican People’s Party) municipalities chosen from the convenience sampling method in the district municipalities of Istanbul. Within this context, interviews with twelve different municipalities were held, and 150 people in the executive position within municipalities as chief or higher status has been reached. Ten district municipalities in this questionnaire study consist of six entities linked to AK Parti and four to CHP. This research is limited to these municipalities. As a result of the questionnaire data analysis that have been applied for the executives on management positions; findings were acquired and explanations and evaluations regarding these findings were being made.
Evaluation of Vegetation and Wildlife in Gunung Ambang Nature Reserve
Authors: Sudiyono Sudiyono 
Published: March 2016

The objective of this research is to evaluate the ecosystem functions through vegetation and wildlife indicators. Methods used are vegetation analysis and direct indirect method to count wildlife . Results show that the dominant type of land coverage in Gunung Ambang Nature Reserve is open secondary forest, where shrubs, rattan, and epiphytes dominated. This might lead to vulnerability of the site toward disturbance. Furthermore, it was indicated that this area still contains local wildlife species such as Babyrousa babyrussa celebensis. Eventhough land degradation has become a significant issue, the status of Gunung Ambang as nature reserve has limited restoration attempts both vegetatively and mechanically.

Authors: Windyarini Eritrina , Hasnah Tri Maria 
Published: March 2016

Most of non timber forest product (NTFP) utilization taken from natural forests which decrease on productivity annually, including tengkawang producer species which taken from West Kalimantan natural forests. This condition needs an effort to preserve those species from natural population utilization through plantation forest development that require spesific strategy. This study was part of breeding strategy of shorea species producing tengkawang which aimed to species identify and seedling growth evaluation used genetic material from 2 (two) population from West Kalimantan. The research was arranged in 2 (two) steps, i.e.1) species identification used morphology characteristic difference, and 2) seedling growth evaluation (height,diameter,sturdiness). Seedling growth evaluation was arranged in RCBD, with 5 plot (combination of species and source population), contained 25 seedlings and 4 replications (blocks). The result showed that seedlings of shorea species producing tengkawang, i.e. S.stenoptera, S.macrophylla, and S.gysbertsiana can be different from its stipulae morphology characteristic. Growth of 10 months shorea species producing tengkawang seedlings were significantly different on height and sturdiness. Seedlings height were 67,19 – 88,79 cm, seedlings diameter 9,65 – 10,33 mm and sturdiness 7 – 9,21 in range. The best seedling growth was S.stenoptera and S.macrophylla from Gunung Bunga, West Kalimantan.
Impact of State Ignition Interlock Laws on Alcohol-Involved Crash Deaths in the United States
Authors: Kaufman Elinore J. , Wiebe Douglas J. 
Published: March 2016

Objectives. To investigate the impact on alcohol-involved crash deaths of universal ignition interlock requirements, which aim to prevent people convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol from driving while intoxicated.Methods. We used data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for 1999 to 2013. From 2004 to 2013, 18 states made interlocks mandatory for all drunk-driving convictions. We compared alcohol-involved crash deaths between 18 states with and 32 states without universal interlock requirements, accounting for state and year effects, and for clustering within states.Results. Policy impact was apparent 3 years after implementation. The adjusted rate of alcohol-involved crash deaths was 4.7 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 4.0, 5.4) per 100 000 in states with the universal interlock requirement, compared with 5.5 (95% CI = 5.48, 5.53) in states without, an absolute reduction of 0.8 (95% CI = 0.1, 1.5) deaths per 100 000 per year.Conclusions. Requiring ignition interlocks for all drunk-driving convictions was associated with 15% fewer alcohol-involved crash deaths, compared with states with less-stringent requirements. Interlocks are a life-saving technology that merit wider use.
Implications of Mexican Health Care Reform on the Health Coverage of Nonmigrants and Returning Migrants
Authors: Wassink Joshua T. 
Published: March 2016

Objectives. To assess health coverage among Mexicans with US migration experience, before and after the implementation of Mexico’s universal health care program, Seguro Popular. Methods. I used data from the 2000 and 2010 Mexican Censuses to generate nationally representative estimates of health coverage among working-age Mexicans by migrant status. Results. In 2000, before the implementation of Seguro Popular, 56% of Mexicans aged 15 to 60 years with no recent US migrations were uninsured compared with 80% of recently returned migrants. By 2010, the proportion uninsured declined from 56% to 35% (−38%) among nonmigrants and from 80% to 54% (−33%) among return migrants. Conclusions. Seguro Popular has increased health coverage among Mexican return migrants, but they remain substantially underinsured. A creative and multifaceted approach likely will be needed to address Mexican immigrants’ health care needs.
Des labours de Cluny à la révolution verte
Authors: Marchai Jean-Yves 
Published: March 2016

Résumé Nous pouvons observer en pays mossi (Haute-Volta) une évolution régressive du système rural qui a pour effet la dégradation rapide du couvert végétal et le développement spectaculaire des plaques de ruissellement dans un espace agricole en extension. La dynamique observée ne s’explique pas seulement par l’accroissement de la population mais aussi par l’atomisation des unités de production. Depuis les années 1920-1930, la superficie cultivée par habitant a crû dans le même temps où la gestion collective des terroirs villageois a disparu. Le bilan de l’évolution est, outre la saturation de l’espace cultivable et son corollaire : la contraction des aires pastorales, le déséquilibre du rapport population/ressources. Les habitants qui mésusent de leur environnement s’accoutument ainsi progressivement aux situations marginales : faible production céréalière, déficit vivrier (accentué par les cycles de « sécheresse ») et émigration.
El sur: destino y simetría
Authors: Drobnič Marjeta 
Published: March 2016

Pocas cosas me han ocurrido y muchas he leído1 dice Borges refiriéndose así a la existencia de otros mundos, no menos reales e importantes que Ia realidad mas usual que los hombres experimentamos: los sueños, las alucinaciones, las lecturas... todos son hechos reales porque leer o soñar es vivir en una dimensión diferente, paralela a Ia nuestra. Una de las características más destacadas de las obras de Borges son justamente estos mundos, y El Sur, el nostálgico cuento, no sólo nos ofrece vivir en la realidad de la lectura, sino también encontrar en ella otras dimensiones reales. El autor pone lo "real" y lo "fantástico" en el mismo nivel, los lectores podemos vivir dos realidades a la vez, que no se enfrentan destruyéndose una a otra, sino que, en una simbiosis muy fructuosa, transcurren paralelamente. Así el cuento se puede interpretar de dos maneras.
A la revista Verba Hispanica en su décimo aniversario
Authors: Šlibar Neva 
Published: March 2016

Es un honor para mí felicitar como decana de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Ljubljana ala revista Verba Hispanica, justo cuando sale a la luz su décimo número, y cuando las Cátedras de Lengua y Literatura Españolas cumplen veinte años de funcionarniento. La revista se publicó por primera vez en 1991, a los diez años de haberse creado la Sección de Hispánicas en el Departamento de Lenguas y Literaturas Romances de nuestra Facultad; parecía un reto osado entonces, pero el número de contribuciones recibidas en estos diez años demuestra que fue una decisión acertada. En los últimos años, ha crecido el número de artículos de hispanistas eslovenos, lo que sin duda prueba la enorme fortaleza de los estudios de las lenguas y literaturas iberorromances en nuestro pafs. La pub1icación de tesis doctorales y tesinas, así como de algunos de los mejores trabajos de graduación, demuestra que la pujanza de la Secci6n de Hispánicas y el crecimiento de la revista van a la par.
La ausencia como productora de la escritura: Poema 20 y poema 15 de Pablo Neruda
Authors: Cifuentes Aldunate Claudio 
Published: March 2016

Es mi intención abordar un tema exótico, como exótico puede ser, a inicios del siglo XXI, el amor en la literatura. Este tal vez es un tema inevitable en lo que toca a nuestro poeta en estudio: Pablo Neruda.Como es sabido, el poeta chileno se inició a la poesía con lo que se puede esperar de un poeta de 18 años, a saber la poesía amorosa aún bajo la influencia del primer R. M. Rilke. Lo interesante es que la crítica en general haya siempre postulado ese primer período unitario sin matices, como un período que se puede englobar bajo un mismo rótulo de amor, como si no existiesen en ese mismo período un sinfín de versiones de esa unidad tematológica que es el amor1. Pero antes de pasar revista a esas muchas versiones con que el tema del amor se presenta en la literatura en general y en la literatura nerudiana en particular, quisiera referirme a un hecho que a mi juicio resulta crucial problematizar: la identificación del hablante lírico con el poeta por una parte, y por otra la identificación del sentimiento amoroso poetizado como un sentimiento real, recién salido del horno del corazón del poeta.
La paloma de Rafael Alberti como eslabón de esperanza en Metamorfosis de un clavel
Authors: Martín Santiago 
Published: March 2016

Marina Mayoral (1985), en un intento de desentrañar el posible significado de este poema, construye un entramado de «errores totales» (la confusión entre el norte y el sur...) y «errores parciales» (la creencia de que el trigo es el agua...) para concluir que la paloma se- ría el poeta que plasma así –sobre todo en las dos últimas estrofas– la propia concientización de sus equívocos. Entonces, no sólo puede equivocarse la paloma, sino que, además, el hombre «puede darse cuenta de que se ha equivocado, de que un error puede ser a un tiempo total y parcial, de que lo que no debe suceder, sucede» (Mayoral, 1985: 349–350), y, por ende, surgir la destrucción del instinto del animal. Así, el constante yerro de la palo- ma del fragmento se aprecia como la manifestación poética de un cúmulo de errores (parciales y totales), y, para más inri, la tragedia de la destrucción del instinto humano.
Los usos politicos de la reputación en la corte de Felipe IV
Authors: Johnson Vanessa 
Published: March 2016

AI comentar el trabajo de Elliott -y también en un contexto internacional- Stradling dice que "Elliott defined (reputación) as a unique meld of ideals to do with prestige and honour"4. Esta hipótesis dice, "has to some extent had the effect of obscuring the primary reality of the religious commitment which lay behind, and produced, reputación.'' 5 Moviéndome desde el contexto internacional de la reputación, y su influencia en los asuntos exteriores, tengo la intención de explorar sus usos e influencia en asuntos rutinarios domésticos. Me gustaría examinar este texto del "Othello" de Shakespeare, citado arriba, como una lanzadera para dar luz a la percepción del siglo diecisiete de la reputación aqui. Cuál de las dos quiere que tomemos? O quiere que tomemos las dos?
Exploring the uncertainty associated with satellite-based estimates of premature mortality due to exposure to fine particulate matter
Authors: Ford Bonne , Heald Colette L. 
Published: March 2016

Abstract. The negative impacts of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure on human health are a primary motivator for air quality research. However, estimates of the air pollution health burden vary considerably and strongly depend on the data sets and methodology. Satellite observations of aerosol optical depth (AOD) have been widely used to overcome limited coverage from surface monitoring and to assess the global population exposure to PM2.5 and the associated premature mortality. Here we quantify the uncertainty in determining the burden of disease using this approach, discuss different methods and data sets, and explain sources of discrepancies among values in the literature. For this purpose we primarily use the MODIS satellite observations in concert with the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model. We contrast results in the United States and China for the years 2004–2011. Using the Burnett et al. (2014) integrated exposure response function, we estimate that in the United States, exposure to PM2.5 accounts for approximately 2 % of total deaths compared to 14 % in China (using satellite-based exposure), which falls within the range of previous estimates. The difference in estimated mortality burden based solely on a global model vs. that derived from satellite is approximately 14 % for the US and 2 % for China on a nationwide basis, although regionally the differences can be much greater. This difference is overshadowed by the uncertainty in the methodology for deriving PM2.5 burden from satellite observations, which we quantify to be on the order of 20 % due to uncertainties in the AOD-to-surface-PM2.5 relationship, 10 % due to the satellite observational uncertainty, and 30 % or greater uncertainty associated with the application of concentration response functions to estimated exposure.

Abstract. Cloud microphysical processes involving the ice phase in tropospheric clouds are among the major uncertainties in cloud formation, weather, and general circulation models. The detection of aerosol particles, liquid droplets, and ice crystals, especially in the small cloud particle-size range below 50 μm, remains challenging in mixed phase, often unstable environments. The Cloud Aerosol Spectrometer with Polarization (CASPOL) is an airborne instrument that has the ability to detect such small cloud particles and measure the variability in polarization state of their backscattered light. Here we operate the versatile Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets (CLOUD) chamber facility at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to produce controlled mixed phase and other clouds by adiabatic expansions in an ultraclean environment, and use the CASPOL to discriminate between different aerosols, water, and ice particles. In this paper, optical property measurements of mixed-phase clouds and viscous secondary organic aerosol (SOA) are presented. We report observations of significant liquid–viscous SOA particle polarization transitions under dry conditions using CASPOL. Cluster analysis techniques were subsequently used to classify different types of particles according to their polarization ratios during phase transition. A classification map is presented for water droplets, organic aerosol (e.g., SOA and oxalic acid), crystalline substances such as ammonium sulfate, and volcanic ash. Finally, we discuss the benefits and limitations of this classification approach for atmospherically relevant concentrations and mixtures with respect to the CLOUD 8–9 campaigns and its potential contribution to tropical troposphere layer analysis.
