Authors: Herrera Torres Lucía , Mohamed Mohand Laila 
Published: January 2017

Abstract.The university is known for its complexity and continuous change. Junior faculty should be incorporated and adjusted to the university structure and functioning. In addition, they have to implement a set of teaching competencies to promote an effective process of teaching and learning, and the student achievement of specific learning outcomes. For this reason, this paper advocates the need to implement mentoring programs between senior and junior faculty as a process that involves learning, support and mutual enrichment. Thus, two mentoring projects developed at the University of Granada are described. It is shown to be effective in strengthening efforts towards faculty achieving goals and its well-being.Keywords: higher education, faculty, mentorship, teaching competenciesResumen.La institución universitaria se caracteriza por su complejidad y continuo cambio. El profesorado universitario junior ha de incorporarse y ajustarse a la estructura y funcionamiento de la universidad, a lo que se suma que ha de poner en práctica una serie de competencias docentes para favorecer un proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje eficaz y la consecución de determinados resultados de aprendizaje en el alumnado. Es por ello por lo que en el presente trabajo se defiende la necesidad de implementar programas de mentorizacion entre el profesorado senior y junior como un proceso que implica el aprendizaje, apoyo y enriquecimiento mutuo. En este sentido, se describen dos proyectos de mentorización desarrollados en la universidad de Granada. Se pone de manifiesto su eficacia para fortalecer los esfuerzos dirigidos hacia la consecución de una meta y el bienestar del profesorado.Palabras clave: educación superior, profesorado, mentorización, competencias docentes
EL CUESTIONARIO DE RELACIONES EN EL CENTRO (C.R.C.): UN INSTRUMENTO PARA IDENTIFICAR ALUMNOS EN RIESGO DE SER VICTIMIZADOS
Authors: Calvo Rodríguez Ángel R. 
Published: January 2017

Abstract. QUESTIONNAIRE RELATIONSHIPS AT THE CENTER (CRC): AN INSTRUMENT TO IDENTIFY STUDENTS AT RISK OF BEING VICTIMIZEDThe situation of bullying in schools is assessed using questionnaires in which students are asked to indicate: a) if they have observed situations of harassment and intimidation and to indicate their type and frequency, frequent places where have observed harassment b) if they have suffered harassment situations and express their type and frequency and frequent places where he has been harassed. With these questions runs the risk of biasing the perception of the students because they are almost exclusively required to take into account negative experiences. The C.R.A. is an assessment tool that identifies school climate to student bullying suffered or is at risk of suffering based on student demonstrations concerning:a) The feeling of comfort and security that students have in the center.b) The perception of the teachers' attitude towards students and to the relationships established.c) The ideas and knowledge that avoid becoming involved in a relationship of victimization.Keywords: school climate survey, bullying.Resumen.La situación de acoso en los centros se suele averiguar utilizando cuestionarios en los que se pide a los alumnos que indiquen: a) si han observado situaciones de acoso e intimidación y que indiquen su tipo y frecuencia, los lugares frecuentes donde han observado el acoso y b) si han sufrido situaciones de acoso y que expresen su tipo y frecuencia y los lugares frecuentes donde ha sido acosado. Con este tipo de preguntas se corre el riesgo de sesgar la percepción de los estudiantes debido a que casi exclusivamente se les pide que tengan en cuenta experiencias negativas. El Cuestionario C.R.A. es un instrumento de valoración del clima escolar que permite identificar al alumnado que sufre acoso escolar o corre el riesgo de padecerlo basándose en las manifestaciones de los alumnos sobre: a) El sentimiento de bienestar y seguridad que tienen los alumnos en el centro.b) La percepción de la actitud del profesorado hacia los alumnos y hacia las relaciones que establecen.c) Las ideas y conocimientos que evitan verse implicados en unas relaciones de victimización.Palabras clave: cuestionario clima de centro, acoso escolar.

Abstract.FLUENCY AND ACCURACY IN COPYING TASKS (MANUSCRIPT VS. CURSIVE): A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDYHandwriting evolves with the pass of time. The type of script which children begin to learn depends on curriculum in their countries and the educational policy. There are two main types of script: manuscript and cursive. There is a controversial issue about which type of script would be best to use to begin the teaching of handwriting, but has not been a consensus yet. This research analyzes manuscript and cursive script modalities. Our objective was to determine whether there are differences in accuracy and fluency when students are copying the alphabet letters using different types of script (manuscript vs. cursive), and also whether these differences are mediated by the grade (1st, 2nd and 3rd ). A subtest from the test called Early Grade Writing Assessment (EGWA) (Jiménez, 2012) was administered to a sample of children from 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade.Keywords: writing, fluency, accuracy, manuscript letter, cursive letter, cross-sectional study.Resumen.La escritura evoluciona con el paso del tiempo. El tipo de letra que los niños comienzan a aprender depende del currículo de su país y la política educativa. Hay dos tipos principales de letra: manuscrita y cursiva. Existe un debate sobre qué tipo de letra sería mejor utilizar para comenzar la enseñanza de la escritura, pero no se ha llegado a un consenso. Esta investigación analiza la escritura con ambos tipos de letra. Nuestro objetivo ha sido averiguar si existen diferencias en la exactitud y fluidez cuando los niños copian el alfabeto utilizando diferentes tipos de letras (manuscrita vs. cursiva), y si estas diferencias están mediatizadas por el curso (1º, 2º y 3º). Para ello se administraron algunos subtests de la prueba denominada Early Grade Writing Assessment (EGWA) (Jiménez, 2012) a una muestra de niños de 1º, 2º y 3º de Educación Primaria.Palabras clave: escritura, fluidez, exactitud, letra manuscrita, letra cursiva, diseño transversal.

Published: January 2017

Abstract.The great therapeutic power of the metaphor has been demonstrated by the applied research conducted by our team during the last twenty years. This paper summarizes the assumptions underlying the intervention model we have built and developed through research spanning more than two thousand cases of children and adolescents with emotional problems. We will explain some of these cases using the metaphors with which we have obtained the best results. As a general conclusion, we note that the symbols transmitted by any metaphor greatly help children because they reframe their experiences and have a positive impact on their personal identity, selfesteem and, ultimately, in their maturity and emotional wellbeing.Keywords: Psychology intervention, emotional processes, metaphor, emotional problems.Resumen.Del trabajo de investigación aplicado que llevamos a cabo como equipo investigador desde hace ya más de veinte años, ha quedado ampliamente constatado el gran poder terapéutico que tiene el uso apropiado de la metáfora. En este artículo se presenta un resumen de los postulados que sustentan el modelo de intervención que se ha ido gestando y desarrollando gracias a un proceso de investigación-acción aplicado a más de dos mil casos de niños y adolescentes con problemáticas de base emocional. Explicaremos mediante casos y ejemplos prácticos las metáforas más representativas y con las que se han obtenido los mejores resultados. Como conclusión general, cabe destacar que la simbología que transmite cualquier metáfora que el niño o niña interioriza se convierte en un gran aliado para él o ella en cuanto a que produce un reencuadre en las vivencias cambiando su polaridad y produciendo un efecto positivo en su identidad personal, en su autoestima y, en definitiva, en su maduración y bienestar emocional.Palabras clave: Intervención psicopedagógica, procesos emocionales, metáfora, problemas emocionales
The lived experience of drivers with a spinal cord injury: A qualitative inquiry
Authors: Mtetwa Lucia , Classen Sherrilene , Van Niekerk Lana 
Published: January 2017

Introduction: Driving is an instrumental activity of daily living and a facilitator of meaningful participation in society for the majority of the population, including persons with spinal cord injuries. Persons with spinal cord injury may have impaired fitness to drive capabilities. Little is known about perceptions of drivers with spinal cord injury on driving, driver rehabilitation, or return to driving. This study examined the post spinal cord injury driving experiences of drivers and illuminates their rehabilitation and return-to-driving needs within the South African context.Method: This phenomenological study explored personal experiences of fourteen drivers with spinal cord injury, recruited through purposive sampling. Face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data analysis was an inductive and iterative process.Results/findings: Six themes represent the study findings: adjusting to physical limitations, safety perceptions and influencing factors, the positive role of driving, contextual features and supports, environmental barriers, and inconsistent provision of rehabilitation services.Conclusions: The findings indicated that occupational therapists ought to consider incorporating driver rehabilitation services and adopt mediation approaches to advocate for persons with spinal cord injury, who want to drive. Plausible practice and research opportunities are discussed for occupational therapists who are interested in driving and spinal cord injury.
Key words: Driving, spinal cord injury, individual perspective, driver rehabilitation.

Background: Down syndrome is one of the most investigated and well discussed syndromes related to intellectual disability, yet little can be found in literature of the impact that sensory processing difficulties or disorders have on the functioning of individuals with Down syndrome. This study investigated the sensory processing, praxis and related social participation of children with Down syndrome with the purpose of contributing to a better understanding thereof and heightening awareness of the importance of including sensory integration therapy as part of intervention.Methods: The study was conducted by using a cross-sectional, quantitative, descriptive study design. The Sensory Processing Measure(SPM) Home Form was used to collect information regarding the children's sensory processing, praxis and related social participation. The questionnaire was completed by a parent or caregiver of a child with Down syndrome (n=15).Results: The majority of the children with Down syndrome included in the study experienced vulnerabilities in social participation (53.3%) and praxis (80.0%), whereas 100% of the children experienced vulnerabilities in sensory processing.Conclusion: The results of this study contribute to the emerging understanding of the sensory processing, praxis and related social participation of children with Down syndrome. The findings may be taken into consideration by occupational therapists delivering services to children with Down syndrome to ensure optimal intervention. It is recommended that further studies on larger samples investigate this topic to corroborate these findings

Published: January 2017

Introduction: Long-term disability caused by stroke can be decreased through comprehensive rehabilitation.Aim: This article aims to describe the functional outcomes achieved by stroke survivors in an urban Western Cape Province setting to add to the information on stroke management.Methods: A descriptive mixed methods study was done. Proportional, stratified random sampling was used to select 53 participants from a population of 267. Quantitative data were collected with the Stroke Impact Scale Version 3.0 and the Modified Barthel Index, and analysed with the Mann-Whitney test. A p value of < 0.05 was deemed statistically significant. Five of the 53 participants were purposively sampled for the qualitative phase of the study. Qualitative data were analysed according to predetermined themes.Results: Seventy-five per cent of participants were managed in a general medical ward. Four were admitted to a specialised inpatient rehabilitation centre. Eighty-three per cent received physiotherapy, 62% received occupational therapy and 57% received both physio and occupational therapy. Fifty-one per cent experienced communication difficulties, but only 18% received speech therapy.Conclusion and recommendations: Sufficient inpatient therapy (preferably in a stroke unit /ward) and family education /training should be received before discharge. Occupational therapy, speech therapy, physiotherapy as well as psychological, social work, vision screening and dietetic services should be expanded at both hospital and community level.

High Thoracic Disc Herniation Causing Horner Syndrome with the Intraoperative Finding of Conjoined Nerve Root Compression
Authors: Bhandutia Amit K. , Zuzek Zachary , Schessler Matthew J. , Tomycz Nestor D. , Altman Daniel T. 
Published: January 2017

Case:
A 29-year-old man presented with right medial arm pain with paresthesia, as well as right-sided ptosis, miosis, and anhidrosis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a right paracentral disc herniation at the T1-T2 level. The patient underwent a hemilaminectomy with a medial facetectomy through a posterolateral approach to the T1-T2 disc space, followed by a discectomy. Intraoperative findings were notable for a conjoined nerve root.

Conclusion:
Although high thoracic disc herniation is rare, its diagnosis should be considered when patients present with radicular arm pain and Horner syndrome. A high index of suspicion should be maintained for nerve root anomalies to limit iatrogenic injury and to ensure successful decompression.
Two-Stage Compression With Elevated Cooler-Discharge Temperatures Improves Wellsite Gas Lift Operations
Authors: Elmer William G. , Elmer David C. 
Published: January 2017

Summary
Opportunities to improve the standard three-stage wellhead gas lift compressor design for application to unconventional shale reservoirs are presented. A two-stage design is presented, with two field installations in the Eagle Ford Shale reviewed as a case study.
The “shale revolution” began with gas reservoirs, most notably the Barnett, and preceded the development of shale oil resources. This resulted in the need for many new compressors, and the rental compressor industry accelerated production of the standard three-stage compressor. No substantive design changes were made, because compressors that could meet either wellhead/gas lift or gathering applications were preferred because of their versatility. As the shift was made to horizontal oil, problems appeared with the standard compressor design in handling natural-gas-liquids (NGL) components (primarily propane, butanes, pentanes, and hexanes plus). The standard design provides extra after cooling, in part to support glycol-dehydrator operation. As a result, these components often condense in compressor gas coolers, resulting in operational and environmental problems including frozen dump lines, heavy tank-vapor emissions, and hydrates. Downtime and emissions related to these problems contributed to some operators viewing gas lift as the artificial-lift method of last resort, despite its superior ability to handle sand production, deviated wellbores, and high fluid volumes.
The capabilities of two-stage vs. three-stage compressors for gas lift are compared in the case study. The lower suction pressures afforded by three-stage compression are negligibly beneficial to horizontal shale oil wells, where slugging is an issue, and higher separator pressures are selected to mitigate slugging and aid liquid displacement from separation equipment. In addition, the incremental pressure drop achieved by three-stage compression can provide little production improvement compared with the total pressure drop from the reservoir to the wellbore. The phase diagram is used to show the necessity of temperature control on each stage of gas cooling to prevent process problems for gases, including NGL components.

The existence of bank (Islamic and conventional) as an intermediary financial institution whose existence and operations are regulated by a set of rules and regulations often experiences the uncertainity in taking decisions related to bad loans caused by natural disasters. Like a coin, one hand there are the interests of the owners of capital and the other side there is a sense of humanity to reditors. It is certain that the settlement efforts should involve the appropriate authorities and require a long time. The taken Decisions often differs from the real cases. It looks not giving the sense of justice for creditors.Keywords: Bad Loans, Regulations, and Islam.

Spent drilling muds are the liquid residues of rock drilling operations. Due to a high concentration of suspended solids and potentially detrimental chemical properties, they can negatively affect microorganisms participating in wastewater treatment processes. We evaluated the addition of a potassium‐polymer drilling fluid (DF) to activated sludge in laboratory sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) for municipal wastewater treatment. Ciliate assemblage, the most dynamic component of eukaryotes in activated sludge, and which is highly sensitive to changes in the system, was evaluated. The average ciliate abundance dropped by about 51% (SBR 2; 1% DF added) and 33% (SBR 3; 3% DF added) in comparison to the control (SBR 1; wastewater only). A decrease in the total number of ciliate species during the experiment was observed, from 25 to 24 in SBR 2 and from 17 to 13 in SBR 3. Moreover, a drop in the number of dominant (>100 individuals mL−1) ciliate species was observed during the experiment—from eight in the control to five in SBR 2 and four in SBR 3—signaling noticeable changes in the quantitative structure of ciliate species. The species analyzed showed different responses to DF addition. The most sensitive was Aspidisca cicada, which is bacteriovorus. In contrast, two predators, Acineria uncinata and Holophrya discolor, showed no reaction to DF addition. Our results indicate that addition of potassium‐polymer DF, in doses of 1 to 3% of the treated wastewater volume, had no toxic effects on ciliates, but qualitative and quantitative changes in their community were observed.Core Ideas
The impact of drilling fluid on activated sludge has not been previously investigated.
Our data show the effect of drilling fluid on ciliates from activated sludge.
We also analyzed the structure of ciliate communities suppressed by drilling fluid.
The results provide information about the doses that can be used during treatment.
