Life and Death: How Should We Respond to Oiled Wildlife?
Authors: Henkel Laird A. , Ziccardi Michael H. 
Published: December 2017

AbstractThere is ongoing public debate about the best course of action to take when wildlife are affected by oil spills. Critics of wildlife rehabilitation suggest that the cleaning and release of oiled animals is a waste of resources focused on individual animals (not populations); thus, the most responsible course of action is to immediately euthanize affected animals. These critics claim that survival of rehabilitated animals is poor, and that the funds spent on rehabilitation would benefit wildlife more if spent on other conservation efforts. In this opinion piece, with a focus on birds, we review reasons for engaging in a coordinated response to oiled wildlife that includes cleaning and rehabilitation. The reasons for responding to oiled wildlife in any capacity include ethical, human safety, and legal aspects. Our rationale for proposing that responders attempt to rehabilitate wildlife, rather than planning on immediate euthanasia, includes financial, scientific, and additional ethical reasons. Financially, costs for wildlife rehabilitation are typically a very small portion of overall oil-spill response costs, and are typically independent of postspill enforcement and funds used to restore injured natural resources. Scientifically, we review recent studies that have shown that animals cleaned and rehabilitated after oil spills can often survive as well as nonoiled control animals. Ethically, some people would consider individual animals to have intrinsic value and that we, as consumers of petroleum products, have an obligation to reduce suffering and mitigate injuries associated with such accidents. For these reasons, we suggest that, although humane euthanasia should always be considered as an option for animals unlikely to return to normal function after rehabilitation, response to oil spills should include a coordinated effort to attempt wildlife rehabilitation.
Re-inventing Multimedia Drama to Unite Africans in the Diaspora: The Example of Ola Rotimi's The Gods are not to Blame in London
Authors: Balogun Sola 
Published: December 2017

Over the ages, many Africans have had reasons to travel out of their fatherland in search of greener pastures in Europe, America and other parts of the globe. They have in the process built careers and families far away from their roots aside imbibing cultural, linguistic and social attributes that are originally alien to them. A major effect of this migration/relocation is that Africans in Diaspora gradually lose touch with their own cultural ethos and values while their own offspring are far more alienated and can neither be referred to as Europeans or true Africans. But drama, particularly total theatre which originates from Africa has all it takes to relive African cultural heritage in the Diaspora. A well-packaged African drama that is presented in the multimedia format has the potentials of not only uniting Africans and their relations living abroad, but also relaying relevant social, cultural, aesthetic, historical and political messages to them. This paper therefore examines the recent staging of Ola Rotimi's classic play; The Gods Are Not to Blame, in London as a multimedia production which rallied Nigerians, nay Africans together in a single cultural event. The theatre production which was produced by Lagos based Ayo Jaiyesimi and directed by London-based Lookman Sanusi provided a unique platform for Nigerians living in the United Kingdom and other neighbouring European countries to meet their kinsmen and women, aside savouring the Yoruba culture and tradition which the play effectively dramatised. Beyond this, the multimedia production bridged the gap between Africa and Europe by showcasing Ola Rotimi's dexterity in adapting the European story of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex into another classic play of African setting. The latter produced a similar tragic hero in King Odewale, the Yoruba (African) king who, like Oedipus, ends up killing his father and marrying his own mother.

<p class="REDUTEXTORESUMEN">Una vez que ha arrancado la aplicación efectiva de las reformas que conlleva la implantación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior en el sistema universitario español, conviene reflexionar acerca del modo en que efectivamente se está desarrollando y la medida en qué responde al espíritu y los objetivos del “espíritu de Bolonia”. A esa reflexión pretende contribuir este artículo que desgrana algunas ideas acerca de los logros y problemas que la aplicación esa reforma está suscitando en ámbitos como los de la adaptación entre oferta y demanda de titulaciones, la reforma de las enseñanzas y la adecuación a las necesidades de la sociedad, la renovación de los métodos docentes, los niveles y las garantías de calidad de las enseñanzas universitarias, la movilidad y la internacionalización y el posicionamiento de las universidades.</p><p class="REDUTEXTORESUMEN"> </p>
Metodología docente
Authors: Zabalza Beraza Miguel Angel 
Published: December 2017

<p><em>Como en el viejo dicho indio de que “el mundo es ancho y ajeno”, eso está sucediendo para una parte del profesorado: Bolonia se ha convertido en una fuente no identificada de demandas y cambios de los que no se sienten ni dueños ni cómplices. Según quien se exprese Bolonia puede formar parte del problema o puede formar parte de la solución. En este contexto de controversias sobre lo general del nuevo EEES, hay que situar el ámbito más concreto de la innovación en las metodologías docentes. En este texto se aborda Bolonia como la oportunidad para un profundo cambio en el proceso de aprendizaje de nuestros estudiantes: cómo pasar del “instruction paradigm” al “learning facilitation paradigm”. Una propuesta de cambio que solamente llega a hacerse efectiva si es capaz de transitar de las grandes declaraciones políticas internacionales a las prácticas docentes concretas de las Facultades y escuelas Técnicas. Tránsito complicado y que depende de muchas variables intermedias: la cultura institucional y las concepciones de los docentes. 4 aspectos de las metodologías se analizan en el texto desde la perspectiva de Bolonia: (a) la organización de los espacios y los tiempos; (b) el modo de suministro de la información; (c) la orientación y gestión de las actividades de aprendizaje y (d) las relaciones interpersonales. Finalmente se concluye señalando la necesidad de metodologías mixtas en las que se complementen aspectos básicos de los métodos docentes clásicos: la lección magistral, el trabajo en equipo y el trabajo independiente de los estudiantes.</em></p><p> </p>

<p><em>El actual contexto social, cultural y tecnológico, junto con el diseño de los nuevos títulos de grado en Educación Primaria e Infantil hace necesaria una reflexión en torno a cómo ha de ser la formación de los nuevos maestros y cuáles son las competencias profesionales que les permitirán adaptarse satisfactoriamente a las presentes demandas. En la Sociedad de la Información y la Comunicación, es imprescindible cambiar los roles y escenarios de enseñanza aprendizaje, para garantizar la formación de individuos competentes, es decir, capaces de aplicar conocimiento de forma satisfactoria. Los maestros juegan un papel esencial en la educación de las futuras generaciones bajo este enfoque, y son, por tanto, la pieza clave para propiciar la adaptación a los nuevos tiempos. Ante estas necesidades, la formación del profesorado supone un hecho fundamental y el periodo de prácticum constituye una situación privilegiada para el desarrollo de las competencias asociadas al nuevo perfil profesional del maestro. Este trabajo involucra a distintos agentes (tutores de prácticum en centros educativos, investigadores y tutores en la universidad, directivos, alumnos egresados, etc., en el estudio de dichas competencias profesionales, con el objeto de diseñar las líneas generales de un plan formativo, que dé respuesta a las conclusiones extraídas de la investigación.</em></p><p><em>El objetivo general del estudio es determinar la coherencia entre las demandas actuales que se realizan a los docentes en ejercicio y la oferta real de formación que se establece desde los Centros Universitarios.

Del “Aprendizaje Basado En Problemas” (ABP) al “Aprendizaje Basado En La Acción” (ABA). Claves para su complementariedad e implementación
Authors: Esteban Guitart Moisés 
Published: December 2017

<p><em>Estudios previos han sugerido que a pesar de las innumerables ventajas que ofrece la metodología activa de enseñanza-aprendizaje ABP (“Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas”), también presenta, como toda estrategia educativa, ciertas limitaciones. En este sentido, se ha sugerido que en muchas ocasiones las “situaciones” (“problemas”) que se utilizan están descontextualizadas, siendo artificiales y poco vinculadas con la acción real en contextos reales. Con el objetivo de superar estas limitaciones, se propone el “Aprendizaje Basado en la Acción” (ABA) como estrategia complementaria. El artículo, siguiendo el marco teórico de la psicología cultural de orientación vygotskiana, articula la propuesta e ilustra su aplicación.<br /><br /></em></p><p> </p>

Business and Translation as Power Games: the automotive industry in Brazil
Authors: Brunelière Jean-François 
Published: December 2017

A tradução realizada pelas empresas representa um paradoxo para os Estudos da Tradução. Embora a institucionalização acadêmica da disciplina e a origem de muitos centros de treinamento de tradutores estejam claramente relacionados ao movimento de globalização, a pesquisa fundamental sobre a comunicação na área econômica continua pouco desenvolvida. As múltiplas consequências (em termos econômicos, de mão de obra e de prestígio) das operações internacionais, amplamente dependentes do multilinguismo e da tradução, constituem excelentes motivos para estudar o comportamento das empresas multinacionais, principalmente quando questões de língua e de poder se encontram. Assim, esse artigo retrata a atividade da PSA Peugeot Citroën no mercado brasileiro, procurando verificar como sua estrutura de poder transparece na sua comunicação externa. Por meio de métodos descritivos, analisamos os comunicados de imprensa publicados no site corporativo brasileiro em 2013, comparando-os com aqueles publicados nos sites argentino e internacional, no intuito de verificar em que medida questões de poder podem explicar modificações textuais. A análise demonstra a autonomia da filial brasileira e as relações que constrói com outros setores da empresa. Esse estudo de caso pode ser considerado uma ilustração da maneira como a tradução nas empresas leva rapidamente a temáticas essenciais para os Estudos da Tradução.
Water in the Middle East: Making Room for Informal Problem Solving
Authors: Susskind Lawrence , Zaerpoor Yasmin 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is considered one of the most water scarce in the world. Two new books look closely at the prospects for water policy reform in two MENA countries. In Water Politics in Turkey: Structural Change and EU Accession, Vakur Sumer assesses the impacts that harmonizing Turkey's water-management efforts with broader EU legal standards might have on the country's water management. In her new book, Social Capital and Local Water Management in Egypt, Dalia M. Gouda emphasizes the importance of water-management reforms undertaken at the village level. One offers a look at top-down efforts to reform water policy and water management, while the other emphasizes the need for bottom-up efforts that rely on nongovernmental organizations. Presumably, the two together would be sufficient. This review suggests they are not.
Internet Meme Creativity as Everyday Conversation
Authors: Willmore James , Hocking Darryl 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Internet memes are online fads or trends consisting of a combination of image, verbiage, audio, and video that are repeatedly altered by Internet users and shared on the Internet, often in a rapid, viral-like manner. The constant process of mutation that an Internet meme undergoes as it spreads across the Internet typically involves repetition, rhetorical play, pattern reformulation, and punning, among others—all characteristics that Ronald Carter has defined in his analysis of spoken conversation as examples of demotic and ordinary creativity. Drawing upon and extending Carter’s description of the everyday creativity of spoken language, this study seeks to systematically investigate and describe the creative and conversational characteristics of Internet memes and in doing so provide further insights into the nature of both Internet creativity and popular culture.
Fashion in the Expanded Field: Strategies for Critical Fashion Practices
Authors: Torres Lara 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article focuses on current strategies for critical fashion practices in an expanded field of fashion. In the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century, the field of fashion studies has increasingly scrutinized the relationship between fine art and fashion within an art museum context. Drawing a parallel with Rosalind Krauss’s notion of sculpture in the expanded field, this article documents the development of interdisciplinary fashion practices, suggesting that an expanded field allows fashion practitioners to engage in a critical discussion of the fashion system. As a fashion practitioner focusing on nonproductivist interdisciplinary techniques across multiple media (fashion and film, sculpture, installation, and performance), I test this notion by developing parallels between contemporary fashion and Krauss’s 1979 diagnosis. This article argues for the relevance of establishing theories of interdisciplinary practice to better understand the contemporary field of fashion, challenging assumptions about fashion’s role in the twenty-first century.
Harper’s Island: Negotiating a Masculine World to Become a Female Hero
Authors: Hellyer Cale Richard 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article will analyze the portrayal of the main character in the television program Harper’s Island, Abby, as a female hero. The term “female hero” will be used throughout because “heroine” has traditionally implied that female heroics are inherently different and less significant than those of males. This article will compare Abby to previous female heroes from a range of texts and establish her as an atypical female hero. The reason for using this show to analyze the female hero, which has had so many different interpretations and representations, is because Abby fits into the position in a unique way. She can be considered a combination of a vast range of different elements of historical and contemporary female heroes, as she negotiates a male world but never becomes masculine in order to be heroic—something that is rarely seen in other female heroes.
Effects of biopesticides on oviposition site selection in invasive and native mosquitoes in southeastern Pennsylvania
Authors: Binckley Christopher , Thomas Sneha 
Published: December 2017

AbstractEcological and economic harm by invasive species is exemplified by some Aedes mosquitoes. Their pathogen transmission to humans and wildlife has generated much research concerning how biopesticides induce larval mortality. The response of ovipositing females to biopesticides is less well understood and shows inter- and intraspecific variation. Quantifying this variation is crucial for reducing vector populations and disease outbreaks. We examined how invasive (Aedes albopictus and A. japonicus) and native (Culex restuans) ovipositing mosquitoes responded to the presence of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (BTI), B. sphaericus (BS), their combination, and controls lacking biopesticides and how this affected larval survivorship. A. albopictus females laid more eggs at control sites (p = 0.0005), C. restuans deposited more eggs with biopesticides (p &lt; 0.0001), and A. japonicus did not respond to treatments when laying eggs (p = 0.3128). Larval survivorship with biopesticides was 0.0% in all species (p &lt; 0.0001). Female avoidance suggests that behavioral resistance to biopesticides can occur at oviposition (A. albopictus); attraction (C. restuans) or no response (A. japonicus) could generate ecological traps. Oviposition habitat selection in response to biopesticides varies within and among species and might reduce or enhance larval mortality, population abundance, and the success of vector control programs.
Geographic distribution of metazoan parasites of Rhinichthys atratulus atratulus and Fundulus heteroclitus throughout the suburban–urban watershed of Darby Creek, Pennsylvania
Authors: Requa Eric Robert , Much Kristen , Bell Jeremy , Bemis Kelley , Requa Lindsay Cappa , Ordog Stephen , Chi Peter , Goddard Kathryn 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The geographic distribution and abundance of five metazoan parasites differed between the blacknose dace, Rhinichthys atratulus, and the mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus, and differed between sites in the Darby Creek, PA watershed. Parasitism appears to be negatively affected by urban development in that definitive (bird) hosts were less available for white grub (Posthodiplostomum minimum), black-spot (Uvulifer ambloplites), yellow grub (Clinostomum complanatum), acanthocephalans (Pomphorhynchus bulbocolli), and the nematode Eustrongylides sp. to complete their life cycles at one highly developed lower watershed site. High levels of parasitism were observed at two sites that are highly polluted and urbanized with eutrophic stream conditions, but near or within a wildlife refuge where there are abundant bird hosts. Therefore, a combination of issues appears to be increasing parasitism in the area. The parasites in the lower watershed are part of a complex aquatic community supported by the unique presence of the urban wildlife refuge.

Published: December 2017

OBJECTIVES Vancomycin is commonly used in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) to treat acute pulmonary exacerbations, but few guidelines exist to help dose and monitor patients. The objective of this study was to assess vancomycin use and monitoring strategies at Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CFF)–accredited centers in hopes of developing and implementing vancomycin dosing and monitoring standards.
METHODS An anonymous national cross-sectional survey of pharmacists affiliated with CFF-accredited pediatric and/or adult centers was performed by using Surveymonkey.com. The survey consisted of 3 sections: (1) CF Center Demographic Information (10 questions); 2) vancomycin use in pediatric CF patients (31 questions); and 3) vancomycin use in adult CF patients (29 questions); it was administered from March 9, 2015, to April 13, 2015.
RESULTS The survey was completed by 31/69 (45%) pharmacists and 28 (90.3%) reported using vancomycin in the pediatric population. The most common initial starting dose for pediatric patients was 15 mg/kg/dose (57.1%) and every 6 hours was the most common dosing frequency (67.9%). The most common monitoring strategy was collection of a trough concentration (92.9%) with 57.7% of pharmacist targeting a range of 15 to 20 mg/L. The most common initial starting vancomycin dose in adults with CF was 15 mg/kg/dose (61.5%), and initial frequency of every 8 hours (73.1%). The most common monitoring strategy was a trough concentration (96.2%) with 83.3% of pharmacists reporting a goal trough range of 15 to 20 mg/L.
CONCLUSIONS The most common vancomycin dosing reported was 15 to 20 mg/kg/dose every 6 hours (pediatric) and 15 to 20 mg/kg/dose every 8 to 12 hours (adults). Serum concentrations measured to meet monitoring parameters of trough concentrations of 15 to 20 mg/L, or area under the curve to minimum inhibitory concentration ratio &gt; 400, were the same in both pediatric and adult patients.
