<div id="__if72ru4sdfsdfruh7fewui_once" style="display: none;"> </div><div id="__zsc_once"><p>This paper reports an investigation of teachers’ implementation of a new Indonesian curriculum, the <em>Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan </em>(KTSP<em>), </em>meaning <em>school-based curriculum</em>. The specific context chosen was the teaching of writing in Year 2 in the primary schools of Makassar City, Indonesia. The teachers’ implementation was examined through the lens of the KTSP’s key constructivist-based concepts. Using qualitative methods, the study found that the teachers’ implementation of the new writing curriculum reflected a traditional view of teaching, despite the intent of the KTSP to move away from this approach to one that better reflected a constructivist approach. The study also revealed that the inconsistencies between the intentions of the KTSP and the basic competencies it mandated discouraged the teachers from changing their teaching and assessment practices. These findings have important implications for the development of policy and practice regarding the implementation of existing and future curricula in Indonesia and elsewhere.<strong></strong></p></div><div class="testing_notification" style="position: absolute; z-index: 9999; top: 12px; right: 12px;"> </div><div class="testing_notification" style="position: absolute; z-index: 9999; top: 12px; right: 12px;"> </div><div class="testing_notification" style="position: absolute; z-index: 9999; top: 12px; right: 12px;"> </div><div class="testing_notification" style="position: absolute; z-index: 9999; top: 12px; right: 12px;"> </div><div class="testing_notification" style="position: absolute; z-index: 9999; top: 12px; right: 12px;"> </div><div class="testing_notification" style="position: absolute; z-index: 9999; top: 12px; right: 12px;"> </div><div class="testing_notification" style="position: absolute; z-index: 9999; top: 12px; right: 12px;"> </div><div class="testing_notification" style="position: absolute; z-index: 9999; top: 12px; right: 12px;"> </div>

Published: August 2016

The determination of the spatial extent of the internal boundary layer (IBL) across a step change in surface roughness and surface heat flux and temperature is an important environmental aspect to the operation of industries, fossil-fuel, nuclear and wind power plants. The IBL of the land-water transition zone, such as in coastal regions, lakes and reservoirs, is strongly influenced by surface properties, as the roughness and stability change considerably within this zone. An observational study was conducted to measure meteorological properties near a large tropical reservoir and investigate the IBL at the water-land transition. A 42 m height meteorological mast was instrumented with sonic wind anemometers, air temperature and relative humidity sensors at 3, 10, 20 and 40 m height. Comparisons of the log profile model with the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory (MOS) and the observed wind profiles, shown that the MOS estimated the wind profile more accurately, especially if winds were from water to land.
Direct growth of multilayer graphene by precipitation using W capping layer

Published: September 2016

Abstract
In this study, the direct growth of multilayer graphene from amorphous carbon on a sapphire (0001) substrate by precipitation using a nickel catalyst layer and a tungsten capping layer was examined. The findings revealed that a tungsten carbide layer was formed on top of the catalyst, and this suppressed the diffusion of carbon atoms upwards towards the surface. This caused the graphene layer to precipitate below the catalyst layer rather than above it. Under optimized growth conditions, Raman spectroscopy indicated that a high-quality graphene layer was formed with a low D/G peak intensity ratio of 0.10.
A review on mortality risks associated with antipsychotic use in behavioral and psychologic symptoms of dementia (BPSD)
Authors: Hui Thng Shu , Wong Agnes , Wijesinghe Ruki 
Published: August 2016

Abstract

Introduction: As the population ages, the prevalence rate of behavioral and psychologic symptoms of dementia (BPSD) rises, and there appears to be an increasing need for pharmacologic treatment where nonpharmacologic treatment would not suffice. Most clinicians are well aware of the increased risks of cerebrovascular event and mortality from antipsychotic use in older adults with dementia. Nevertheless, mortality risks reported in various publications still vary considerably and lack consistency to allow direct comparison between individual drugs.

Methods: A literature search was conducted for primary and secondary sources of evidence regarding the mortality risks associated with antipsychotic use in BPSD.

Results: Available evidence suggests that antipsychotics are indeed associated with elevated risks of cerebrovascular adverse events and mortality. There is also evidence suggestive of a varied risk among individual agents, and a dose-response as well as a time-response relationship.

Discussion: This review aims to provide an updated overview of the publications available on mortality data and risks associated with antipsychotic dose and duration of use. Confounders and limitations are discussed to allow clinicians to better make judgment calls on assessing risks and benefits when treating BPSD with an antipsychotic.

Published: August 2016

Abstract

Introduction: The number of homebound older adults is expected to increase as the elderly population grows. Many homebound older persons may be at high risk for depression, which has been associated with adverse health outcomes. The objective of this study was to identify selected factors that may predict depression in the homebound older population.

Methods: Data from 340 homebound adults, aged 65 and older who were enrolled in Broward Meals on Wheels and who participated in a telephone survey were analyzed. Participants were asked to report demographic information, health status, medication-taking behaviors, mental health, and life satisfaction. Multiple regression analysis was used to identify predictors of depressed mood in this sample of older adults.

Results: The majority of the sample (aged 65–95 years; mean, 77 years) were female (76.5%), white (77.1%), and living alone (52.6%). Multivariate modeling indicated that difficulty remembering the number of prescribed medications to be taken, feeling groggy after taking certain medications, poor self-reported health status, taking anxiety medications, and less satisfaction with life explained 34% (adjusted R2) of the variance in predicting depressed mood (F = 33.1, df = 5, P < .001).

Discussion: Multiple factors related to medication use were identified that may contribute to higher levels of depressed mood in homebound older adults. These factors found in our study may be used to create a screening model to be used by pharmacists to identify homebound older adults who would benefit from further assessment for depression.
Evaluation of adherence in patients prescribed long-acting injectable antipsychotics: A comparison of biweekly versus monthly administered neuroleptics

Published: August 2016

Abstract
Background: Long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIAs) have been developed to decrease medication nonadherence. LAIAs are usually given biweekly or monthly, with the exception of new 3-month and 6-week formulations. There has been no known evaluation regarding whether the frequency of LAIA formulation affects adherence. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether there is a difference in adherence between LAIAs administered biweekly or monthly.
Methods: Eligible participants were identified from the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA electronic medical record as having an active prescription for a LAIA between September 1, 2009, and September 1, 2014. Participants were then evaluated using inclusion and exclusion criteria to determine study entrance. Medication possession ratios (MPRs) were calculated for each participant to determine adherence for comparison of objectives. Descriptive statistics and t tests were used to identify significant differences between groups.
Results: There were 128 participants enrolled based on eligibility criteria. There were no differences in MPRs for biweekly versus monthly administered LAIAs (0.98 versus 0.97, respectively; P = .691). No differences in adherence were observed between first- and second-generation LAIAs (0.98 versus 0.98, respectively; P = .975), or for risperidone LAI versus paliperidone palmitate (0.97 versus 0.99, respectively; P = .269). Hospitalizations were observed to decrease by 61% after LAIA initiation (P = .021).
Discussion: Based on the findings of this retrospective cohort review, there was no difference in adherence in patients prescribed biweekly versus monthly injected LAIAs. Patient preference and response, safety, tolerability, cost, and availability of follow-up appointments should be other factors to take into consideration for agent selection.

Published: September 2016

ObjectiveUric acid may be linked to bone health through its antioxidant or prooxidant effects, thereby affecting bone resorption and formation, or through its dual inhibition of vitamin D activation and parathyroid hormone production. Results of prior studies on the relationship between uric acid and bone mineral density have been conflicting. This prospective study was undertaken to examine the relationship between gout, a disease characterized by hyperuricemia and inflammation, and risk of hip or wrist fracture in women.MethodsWe conducted a prospective observational study of gout and risk of incident wrist and hip fracture in women participating in the Nurses’ Health Study (n = 103,799 at baseline, with 14 years of follow‐up for the wrist fracture analysis and 22 years of follow‐up for the hip fracture analysis). Gout history and incident cases of wrist and hip fracture were assessed by biennial questionnaire. Cox proportional hazards models were used to simultaneously adjust for potential confounders.ResultsIn this cohort, there were 3,769 incident wrist fractures (1990–2004) and 2,147 incident hip fractures (1990–2012), with 107 wrist fractures and 117 hip fractures occurring in participants with gout. In those women with a history of gout compared with women without gout, the multivariable‐adjusted relative risk of wrist fracture was 1.12 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.92–1.36) and the multivariable‐adjusted relative risk of hip fracture was 1.38 (95% CI 1.14–1.68).ConclusionIn women, a history of gout is associated with a modestly increased risk of hip fracture, but not significantly associated with a risk of wrist fracture.
Heat convection and radiation in flighted rotary kilns: A minimal model

Published: September 2016

AbstractWe propose a minimal model aiming to describe heat transfer between particles (i.e. grains) and gases in a model of flighted rotary kilns. It considers a channel in which a convective gas interacts with a granular suspension and a granular bed. Despite its simplicity it captures the main experimental findings in the case of dilute suspension of heavy grains typical of what can be observed in many industrial rotary kilns. Energy balance between each phase takes into account the main heat transfer mechanisms between the transverse granular motion and the convective gas. In the absence of radiation heat transfer, the model predicts exponential variations of the temperatures characterized by a length which depends on the granular and gas heat flow rates as well as on the exchange areas. When radiation is taken into account, the model can be solved numerically. For this case, the temperature variations can be fitted by stretched exponentials whose parameters are found to be independent of the studied phases. Finally, an efficiency criterion is proposed to optimize the length of the system.

Published: September 2016

BackgroundAlthough the rate of in‐hospital ischemic events after myocardial infarction (MI) has dramatically decreased, long‐term residual risk may remain substantial. However, most of the information on current residual risk is derived from highly selected randomized trials.HypothesisIn patients with previous MI and no prior ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA), residual ischemic risk increases over time.MethodsUsing the international Reduction of Atherothrombosis for Continued Health (REACH) registry, we analyzed baseline characteristics and 4‐year follow‐up of patients with previous MI and no history of stroke/TIA to describe annual rates of recurrent ischemic events globally and by geography. The primary outcome was the composite of cardiovascular death, MI, or stroke. Multivariate analysis identified risk factors associated with recurrent ischemic events.ResultsData from 16 770 patients enrolled at 5587 sites in 44 countries were analyzed. The rate of the primary outcome increased annually from 4.7% during year 1 to reach a 4‐year rate of 15.1%. Compared with North America, Japan experienced lower ischemic event rates (P < 0.01), whereas Eastern Europe (P < 0.01) and the Middle East (P = 0.01) experienced higher ischemic event rates. The presence of congestive heart failure, polyvascular disease, diabetes, atrial fibrillation or flutter, and older age were associated with increased residual risk (all P < 0.01). Statin use was associated with lower ischemic risk (P < 0.01).ConclusionsIn this study, residual ischemic risk after MI accrued progressively up to 4 years of follow‐up, emphasizing the value of intensive secondary prevention strategies to minimize residual risk.
A dimensional approach to modeling symptoms of neuropsychiatric disorders in the marmoset monkey

Published: September 2016

ABSTRACTSome patients suffering from the same neuropsychiatric disorder may have no overlapping symptoms whilst others may share symptoms common to other distinct disorders. Therefore, the Research Domain Criteria initiative recognises the need for better characterisation of the individual symptoms on which to focus symptom‐based treatment strategies. Many of the disorders involve dysfunction within the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and so the marmoset, due to their highly developed PFC and small size, is an ideal species for studying the neurobiological basis of the behavioural dimensions that underlie these symptoms.Here we focus on a battery of tests that address dysfunction spanning the cognitive (cognitive inflexibility and working memory), negative valence (fear generalisation and negative bias) and positive valence (anhedonia) systems pertinent for understanding disorders such as ADHD, Schizophrenia, Anxiety, Depression and OCD. Parsing the separable prefrontal and striatal circuits and identifying the selective neurochemical modulation (serotonin vs dopamine) that underlie cognitive dysfunction have revealed counterparts in the clinical domain. Aspects of the negative valence system have been explored both at individual‐ (trait anxiety and genetic variation in serotonin transporter) and circuit‐based levels enabling the understanding of generalisation processes, negative biases and differential responsiveness to SSRIs. Within the positive valence system, the combination of cardiovascular and behavioural measures provides a framework for understanding motivational, anticipatory and consummatory aspects of anhedonia and their neurobiological mechanisms. Together, the direct comparison of experimental findings in marmosets with clinical studies is proving an excellent translational model to address the behavioural dimensions and neurobiology of neuropsychiatric symptoms. © 2016 The Authors.

A new model order reduction strategy adapted to nonlinear problems in earthquake engineering
Authors: Bamer Franz , Amiri Abbas Kazemi , Bucher Christian 
Published: September 2016

SummaryEarthquake dynamic response analysis of large complex structures, especially in the presence of nonlinearities, usually turns out to be computationally expensive. In this paper, the methodical developments of a new model order reduction strategy (MOR) based on the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method as well as its practical applicability to a realistic building structure are presented. The seismic performance of the building structure, a medical complex, is to be improved by means of base isolation realized by frictional pendulum bearings. According to the new introduced MOR strategy, a set of deterministic POD modes (transformation matrix) is assembled, which is derived based on the information of parts of the response history, so‐called snapshots, of the structure under a representative earthquake excitation. Subsequently, this transformation matrix is utilized to create reduced‐order models of the structure subjected to different earthquake excitations. These sets of nonlinear low‐order representations are now solved in a fractional amount of time in comparison with the computations of the full (non‐reduced) systems. The results demonstrate accurate approximations of the physical (full) responses by means of this new MOR strategy if the probable behavior of the structure has already been captured in the POD snapshots.

Abstract

Male fish are susceptible to developing intersex, a condition characterized by the presence of testicular oocytes. In the present study, the relationship between intersex and exposure to estrogenic endocrine active contaminants (EACs) was assessed for 2 genera of sport fish, Micropterus and Lepomis, at 20 riverine sites. Seasonal trends and relationships between EACs and intersex (prevalence and severity) were examined at varying putative sources of EACs throughout North Carolina, identified as point sources, nonpoint sources, and reference sites. Intersex was identified in both genera, which was documented for the first time in wild-caught Lepomis. Intersex was more prevalent (59.8%) and more severe (1.6 mean rank) in Micropterus, which was highly correlation to EACs in sediment. In contrast, intersex was less common (9.9%) and less severe (0.2 mean rank) in Lepomis and was highly correlated to EACs in the water column. The authors found that concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, industrial EACs, and estrogens were highest at point source sites; however, no source type variation was identified in the prevalence or severity of intersex, nor were there seasonal trends in intersex or EAC concentrations. The authors’ results associate genus-specific prevalence of intersex with specific EAC classes in common sport fishes having biological, ecological, and conservation implications.
