Authors: Mello Silvio de Paula , Alencar Maurício Mello de , Passafaro Tiago Luciano , Toral Fabio Luiz Buranelo 
Published: May 2015

O objetivo neste trabalho foi estimar herdabilidade da idade ao primeiro parto (IPP), do escore de condição corporal ao primeiro parto (EPP), do escore de condição corporal ao parto (ECP), dos pesos à desmama (PD) e aos doze meses de idade (P12) e das relações de peso do bezerro à desmama pelo peso da vaca ao parto (RPP) e peso do primeiro bezerro à desmama pelo peso da vaca ao primeiro parto (RPPP) e as correlações genéticas de IPP, EPP, PD e P12 com RPPP, em um rebanho da raça Canchim. As médias a posteriori dos componentes de (co)variância foram obtidas por inferência bayesiana, em análises uni e bicaracterísticas. Os modelos estatísticos incluíram os efeitos aleatórios genético aditivos direto e materno, de ambiente permanente e residual, e os efeitos fixos de ano e mês de nascimento ou do parto, idade da vaca ao parto e sexo do bezerro, dependendo da característica. As médias a posteriori da herdabilidade, obtidas em análises unicararacterística, foram 0,12 (IPP); 0,36 (EPP); 0,18 (ECP); 0,50 (PD); 0,46 (P12); 0,16 (RPP) e 0,40 (RPPP), indicando que as características possuem variação genética aditiva suficiente para apresentar boa resposta à seleção massal, com exceção de IPP. As correlações genéticas de IPP (-0,61), EPP (-0,36), PD (-0,20) e P12 (-0,05) com RPPP sugerem que a seleção para reduzir a idade e o escore de condição corporal ao primeiro parto deve melhorar a produtividade das fêmeas no primeiro parto, mas a seleção para modificar pesos em idades jovens não promove mudanças na eficiência produtiva das matrizes.
Special Review: A Dialogue Among Teachers
Authors: Evans Paula 
Published: May 2015

The voices of teachers are missing from today's celebrated dialogue about schooling in the United States. To help remedy this, HER invited a group of high school teachers to review one of the major works of this dialogue.1 This essay, written by Paula M. Evans, a member of the group,synthesizes their thoughts and reactions to Ernest Boyer's High School. While the review does not pretend to detail every nuance of the discussion about the book, it does reflect the major issues,questions, and criticisms raised in that discussion.
A sentence or two on the history and membership of the group may be of interest. In July 1982, the Boston/Newton Local History Collaborative and the Education Collaborative for Greater Boston jointly sponsored a conference, inviting secondary school teachers from the Boston area to explore and design collaborative efforts.2 Several teachers who attended that conference decided to continue meeting as a study group. Over the last year and a half they have met regularly to discuss relevant books and articles, hear speakers, and share perspectives on the dilemmas,challenges, and frustrations of schooling.
Why Doesn't This Feel Empowering? Working Through the Repressive Myths of Critical Pedagogy
Authors: Ellsworth Elizabeth 
Published: May 2015

Elizabeth Ellsworth finds that critical pedagogy, as represented in her review of the literature,has developed along a highly abstract and Utopian line which does not necessarily sustain the daily workings of the education its supporters advocate. The author maintains that the discourse of critical pedagogy is based on rationalist assumptions that give rise to repressive myths. Ellsworth argues that if these assumptions, goals, implicit power dynamics,and issues of who produces valid knowledge remain untheorized and untouched, critical pedagogues will continue to perpetuate relations of domination in their classrooms.
The author paints a complex portrait of the practice of teaching for liberation. She reflects on her own role as a White middle-class woman and professor engaged with a diverse group of students developing an antiracist course. Grounded in a clearly articulated political agenda and her experience as a feminist teacher, Ellsworth provides a critique of "empowerment,""student voice," "dialogue," and "critical reflection" and raises provocative issues about the nature of action for social change and knowledge.
Promoting the Success of Latino Language-Minority Students: An Exploratory Study of Six High Schools
Authors: Lucas Tamara , Henze Rosemary , Donato Ruben 
Published: May 2015

For the growing numbers of Latino students in U. S. secondary schools, academic success has been elusive. Poor attendance records, low test scores, high drop-out rates, and small numbers going on to college all bear witness to schools' failure to meet their needs. But some secondary schools are providing an environment in which language-minority students and others can achieve academic success. In this article Tamara Lucas, Rosemary Henze, and Rubén Donato report on an exploratory study of six such schools in California and Arizona,and describe the key features they found to be integral to these schools' success.
By focusing on broad issues of schooling in secondary schools with large populations of language-minority students, the authors extend existing research on effective schooling,which until now has focused primarily on urban elementary schools in low-income neighborhoods. They also offer suggestions and a sense of possibility to educators seeking an effective response to the secondary education of language-minority students.
Educative Research, Voice, and School Change
Authors: Gitlin Andrew David 
Published: May 2015

In this article Andrew David Gitlin argues that the politics of research is not adequately addressed in current educational research. This, he says, is because methodological discourse often focuses on traditional definitions of reliability, validity, and compatibility, which ignore how method structures a particular type of relationship between the researcher and those studied. Most traditional methods, Gitlin writes, establish an alienating relationship which silences those studied, disregards their personal knowledge, and strengthens the assumption that researchers are the producers of knowledge.
To alter this relationship, Gitlin proposes the use of "educative research," a dialogical approach that attempts to develop voice as a form of political protest. He then outlines the theoretical assumptions of educative research, and describes his experience using this method with twenty public school teachers. Drawing on the teachers' writings in his research, Gitlin describes how the use of personal and school histories, along with a peer evaluation model,can facilitate a question-posing process that can lead to the development of teachers' voices. Gitlin also includes his own account of what he learned as he participated in this educative research project.
Money, Equity, and College Access
Authors: Orfield Gary 
Published: May 2015

In this article, Gary Orfield explores the nature of the relationship between money and access to college, particularly for minority and poor students. Decades after a massive federal government commitment to making a college education available to all, Orfield contends, minority and low-income access is declining, and financial aid is going to middle-class students who could manage without it.Orfield relates how the goal of making higher education accessible to all got sidetracked as he chronicles the policy debate over student aid through the 1980s and early 1990s. He tells a story of political opportunism, insufficient outreach, bureaucratic insensitivity, and a failure to distinguish cultural differences with regard to borrowing — a story of institutions and faculties protecting themselves through tuition increases without seriously debating social consequences. It is not, however,a story of declining interest in, or aptitude for, college among low-income and minority students. Orfield shows a substantial link between dollars and college attendance, and examines policies that have clearly made things worse for those most in need of assistance — policies that are nevertheless maintained because of political deadlock. He concludes that hard choices must be made if college access is to be restored without greatly increased expenditures, and he then delineates those choices.

Violence, Nonviolence, and the Lessons of History: Project HIP-HOP Journeys South
Authors: Murray Nancy Uhlar , Garrido Marco 
Published: May 2015

During the summers of 1993 and 1994, groups of young people from the Boston area took part in an innovative educational initiative known as Project HIP-HOP (Highways into the Part: History, Organizing and Power). These students made a five thousand mile journey south to visit key sites of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, and to learn about the power of nonviolence from people who were teenagers or younger when they participated in the movement. this two-part manuscript is about that journey. The first part, by Nancy Uhlar Murray, the chief organizer of Project HIP-HOP, describes how the idea of a "civil rights tour," with participants going into schools after the trip to share their experiences with their peers, evolved from efforts to encourage young people to explore racism, a root cause of the violence engulfing so many of their lives. The project operates on the premise that a largely a historical outlook that focuses on violence as if it were unique to this generation of urban youth serves neither young people nor the country and its future.
In the second part, seventeen-year-old Marco Garrido, a participant in the 1994 Project HIP-HOP tour, reflects on the lessons he learned from the trip. He writes vividly about his own efforts to understand the racism around him and of his encounters with the sties and the people of the civil rights movement.

Further Comment: Critique without Difference: A Response to Goodman
Authors: Carr Alison , Jenlink Patrick , Reigeluth Charles 
Published: May 2015

In "Change without Difference: School Restructuring in Historical Perspectives," Jesse Goodman offers his critique of the "third wave" school restructuring movement and highlights the history of the fields critiqued in an effort to show that the traditions of those involved in this movement cause them to propose an agenda of social functionalism, individualism, and expertism for school reform.1 He suggests that due to a reliance on technology, a faith in efficiency and productivity, and a history in instructional systems management, these current "restructuralists" propose nothing more than a return to the past.
We wish to take issue with many of Goodman's assertions. In the process, we hope to make clear the true values that underlie the systemic transformation movement. We also wish to point out some inherent contradictions in Goodman's argument, take issue with a historical approach that freezes disciplines in a single moment, and suggest that critique in the service of evolution of a discipline is more useful than what Goodman has offered.
Essay Review: Crossing Borders/Shifting Paradigms: Multiculturalism and Children's Literature
Authors: Schwartz Elaine 
Published: May 2015

If we lived in a democratic state our language would have to hurtle, fly, course and sing, in all the undeniable and representative and participating voices of everybody here. We would make our language conform to the truth of our many selves and we would make our language lead us into the quality of power that a democratic state must represent. (Jordan, 1987, p. 24)
June Jordan's words bring forth a utopian vision of a future in which issues of language, voice, truth, power, and democracy all come together in the creation of a culturally diverse democratic world. She speaks in the language of a critical multiculturalism, one in which words such as representation, many selves, power, and democracy are integral. In this article, I develop a broad understanding of the basic epistemological positions underlying the discourse of multicultural education and, in particular, multiculturalism in children's literature.
Reprint: Cultural Action for Freedom
Authors: Freire Paulo 
Published: May 2015

In this article, Part I of Cultural Action for Freedom, Paulo Freire rejects mechanistic conceptions of the adult literacy process, advocating instead a theory and practice based upon authentic dialogue between teachers and learners. Such dialogue, in Freire's approach, centers upon the learners' existential situations and leads not only to their acquisition of literacy skills, but also, and more importantly, to their awareness of their right as human beings to transform reality. Becoming literate, then, means far more than learning to decode the written representation of a sound system. It is truly an act of knowing, through which a person is able to look critically at the world he/she lives in, and to reflect and act upon it. (pp. 480-498)
In this article, Part II of Cultural Action for Freedom, Paulo Freire explains the process of conscientization as an intrinsic part of cultural action for freedom. He rejects the mechanistic and behaviorist understanding of consciousness as a passive copy of reality. Instead, he proposes the critical dimension of consciousness that recognizes human beings as active agents who transform their world. He makes specific reference to the political and social situation in Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s, discussing the need for cultural action in order to break the existing "culture of silence." (pp. 499-521)

According to plan? disaster risk knowledge and organizational responses to heat wave risk in london, uk
Authors: Abeling Thomas 
Published: May 2015

Abstract
This paper explores how disaster risk knowledge shapes local heat wave risk management in London, UK. Its focus is on the implementation of the UK National Heatwave Plan through public sector organizations in London. Empirical evidence stems from 49 semi‐structured, expert interviews with risk managers from local authorities, and health and social care organizations in London. Findings suggest that the National Heatwave Plan is an important source of disaster risk knowledge, but that it has not been successful in steering sustainable change in the way that heat risk is planned for at the local level. The plan is perceived locally as a public health strategy focused on emergency response. This reinforces local heat wave planning approaches that are enacted through public health and that prioritize short‐term response actions, rather than long‐term preventive strategies. This paper argues that the provision of disaster risk knowledge can undermine paradigm shifts in local risk planning if it constrains consideration of alternatives to existing risk management approaches.
Viscoelastic Creep of Eagle Ford Shale: Investigating Fluid/Shale Interaction
Authors: Miller Guindon Leah 
Published: May 2015

Summary
In this viscoelastic model, shale creep deformation was characterized and rheological models were developed. It not only addressed instantaneous, transient, and long-term sample deformations, but also enabled the estimation of proppant-embedment depth during production. Creep deformation was most pronounced when water impregnated the shale; decaneimpregnated samples produced less creep deformation; and the least creep was measured when shale was dry. The theory of linear viscoelasticity was used to model the samples’ time-dependent deformation.
Dentoskeletal effects of a temporary skeletal anchorage device–supported rapid maxillary expansion appliance (TSADRME): A pilot study
Authors: Vassar Jason William , Karydis Anastasios , Trojan Terry , Fisher Jack 
Published: May 2015

ABSTRACT

Objective:
To quantitatively evaluate maxillary skeletal expansion using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and propose a novel way to quantify the dental tipping effects of temporary skeletal anchorage device–supported rapid maxillary expansion appliance (TSADRME).

Materials and Methods:
Images from 25 patients receiving rapid maxillary expansion with incorporated temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) before activation (T1) and after removal (T2) were analyzed to detect dentoskeletal changes.

Results:
A significant increase from T1 to T2 was found for all linear measurements except buccal maxillary width at the canines. The greatest buccal expansion was at the first molar, decreasing anteriorly. However, the greatest palatal expansion was at the first premolar. All younger subjects (8–16 years old) exhibited less dental tipping and greater expansion overall compared with the older subjects. There was great variability in dental tipping of first molars (mean = 4.31°), with some subjects demonstrating mild uprighting of these teeth.

Conclusions:
The TSADRME appliance is an effective, clinically useful device that results in mild molar tipping and may positively affect expansion in the area of TSAD placement.
Simulation and analysis of glacier runoff and mass balance in the Nam Co basin, southern Tibetan Plateau

Published: May 2015

AbstractRunoff estimation in high-altitude glacierized basins is an important issue on the Tibetan Plateau. To investigate glacier mass balance, runoff and water balance in the Qugaqie basin and Zhadang sub-basin in the southern Tibetan Plateau, two glacier models and three snow models were integrated into the spatially distributed hydrological model JAMS/J2K. The results showed that the temperature index method simulated glacier runoff better than the degree-day factor method. The simulated glacier melt volume in the Qugaqie basin in 2006, 2007 and 2008 contributed 58%, 50% and 41%, respectively, to its total runoff. In the Zhadang basin, the glacier melt volume contributed 78% and 66% to its runoff during 2007 and 2008, respectively. Compared with the observation results, the simulated glacier mass balance showed similar variations with slightly higher values, indicating an underestimation of glacier melt volume. The water balance simulation in the upstream areas (705–874 mm) was comparable to that in the downstream areas (1051–1502 mm) and generally lower than the observed results. In both basins, the glacier mass-balance simulation was relatively accurate in the melt season compared to the other seasons.
Derivation and analysis of a complete modern-date glacier inventory for Alaska and northwest Canada

Published: May 2015

AbstractWe present a detailed, complete glacier inventory for Alaska and neighboring Canada using multi-sensor satellite data from 2000 to 2011. For each glacier, we derive outlines and 51 variables, including center-line lengths, outline types and debris cover. We find 86 723 km2of glacier area (27 109 glaciers >0.025 km2), ∼12% of the global glacierized area outside ice sheets. Of this area 12.0% is drained by 39 marine-terminating glaciers (74 km of tidewater margin), and 19.3% by 148 lake- and river-terminating glaciers (420 km of lake-/river margin). The overall debris cover is 11%, with considerable differences among regions, ranging from 1.4% in the Kenai Mountains to 28% in the Central Alaska Range. Comparison of outlines from different sources on >2500 km2of glacierized area yields a total area difference of ∼10%, emphasizing the difficulties in accurately delineating debris-covered glaciers. Assuming fully correlated (systematic) errors, uncertainties in area reach 6% for all Alaska glaciers, but further analysis is needed to explore adequate error correlation scales. Preliminary analysis of the glacier database yields a new set of well-constrained area/length scaling parameters and shows good agreement between our area–altitude distributions and previously established synthetic hypsometries. The new glacier database will be valuable to further explore relations between glacier variables and glacier behavior.
Occurrence, detection, and quantification of economically important viruses in healthy and unhealthy honey bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) colonies in Canada
Authors: Desai Suresh D. , Kumar Santosh , Currie Robert W. 
Published: May 2015

AbstractThe occurrence, quantification, and distribution patterns of deformed wing virus (DWV) and sacbrood virus (SBV), (family Iflaviridae); black queen cell virus (BQCV), Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV), Kashmir bee virus (KBV), and acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV) (family Dicistroviridae), and chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV) (unclassified), were characterised in 80 “healthy” honey bee (Apis mellifera Linnaeus; Hymenoptera: Apidae) colonies and 23 “unhealthy” colonies by employing reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for virus identification and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for quantification. All seven viruses were common but the most prevalent viruses were DWV, followed by BQCV and IAPV. For most viruses, prevalence in surviving but unhealthy colonies in spring did not differ from that of healthy baseline colony levels in fall suggesting spring prevalence level would not be a useful metric for diagnosis of factors contributing to colony loss. Sacbrood virus was the only virus that was more prevalent in unhealthy colonies from Manitoba, Canada than in healthy from colonies across Canada but did not differ from healthy colonies within Manitoba. Multiple infections were ubiquitous with a few colonies having simultaneous infection with as many as five viruses. Among the three viruses quantified by qPCR, DWV had the highest relative concentrations in pooled samples of worker bees. Deformed wing virus was the only virus within healthy colonies that differed in fall concentration among provinces and was at high levels in unhealthy colonies. Black queen cell virus was positively correlated with IAPV across all samples. Our study provides the first major baseline study of viruses in Canadian honey bees.
