Transformative Practice and the Problem of Self-Thematization
Creators: name: Piper, David
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: An understanding of transformative learning is inseparable from close analysis of selfhood and subjectivity in late modern cultural circumstances. While traditional approaches to transformative practice have led to valuable insights, they continue to embody modes of reflexive analysis that may limit rather than expand opportunities for personal change. Recent phenomenological investigations into varieties of self-awareness oppose many of the objectifying tendencies apparent in contemporary interpretations of the self, and cast further light on the meaning of subjective freedom and transformative learning.

description: Gene expression profiling has developed rapidly in recent years and it can predict and define mechanisms underlying chemical toxicity. Here, RNA microarray and computational technology were used to show that aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3 NPs) were capable of triggering up-regulation of genes related to the cell cycle and cell death in a human A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell line. Gene expression levels were validated in Al2O3 NPs exposed A549 cells and mice lung tissues, most of which showed consistent trends in regulation. Gene-transcription factor network analysis coupled with cell- and animal-based assays demonstrated that the genes encoding PTPN6, RTN4, BAX and IER play a role in the biological responses induced by the nanoparticle exposure, which caused cell death and cell cycle arrest in the G2/S phase. Further, down-regulated PTPN6 expression demonstrated a core role in the network, thus expression level of PTPN6 was rescued by plasmid transfection, which showed ameliorative effects of A549 cells against cell death and cell cycle arrest. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using gene expression profiling to predict cellular responses induced by nanomaterials, which could be used to develop a comprehensive knowledge of nanotoxicity.
A Case Study of Adolescent Female Leadership: Exploring the "Light" of Change

Year: 2018

description: The topic of this article is the possible changing trends involving adolescent female leadership. This qualitative case study focuses on ideas and practices related to leadership roles assumed by female youth and their male counterparts. The researchers investigate this topic in a secondary school in the United States, explain their methodological approaches, review the literature on gender and leadership, explore various solutions to gender inequity, and consider broader implications. Although the authors expected that male students would have higher leadership involvement, it was found that the sexes were similarly committed. In fact, recent female-dominated patterns of leadership in the realms of governance and sports became evident. Analysis of the feedback suggests that unprecedented change in favor of gender equality might be gradually occurring even while sex-based stereotyping continues. However, contradictions and ambiguities play a significant role in the analysis, suggesting that paradoxes of change continue despite progress. A metaphor of light and dark is used herein to capture this issue of gender equity and inequity, respectively.

description: The MOVING Policy Roadmap is a strategic framework designed to help unlock the potential of Mountain Product Value Chains (MPVCs) to enhance the sustainability and resilience of mountain areas. The Roadmap is an output of the EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation project, Mountain Valorisation Through Interconnectedness and Green Growth (MOVING).

The MOVING Policy Roadmap is a dynamic tool aimed at guiding policymakers, public authorities, civil society organizations, and researchers in shaping policies that support the sustainable development of mountain regions. The Roadmap's ultimate goal is to support the creation of a more favourable policy environment that helps MPVC actors leverage the distinctive natural, social, and cultural assets of mountain areas to foster economic development, environmental sustainability, and social well-being. 

The MOVING project adopted a participatory approach, integrating socio-ecological system (SES) concepts with value chain analysis to evaluate how MPVCs can balance socio-economic development with natural resource conservation. This approach involved extensive stakeholder engagement, including 23 regional case studies and the involvement of approximately 1,000 stakeholders. The findings were used to co-create a set of 30 policy recommendations aimed at enhancing the positive impacts of MPVCs on the sustainability and resilience of mountain territories.

The Roadmap is structured around eight Policy Building Blocks, each addressing critical aspects of the inter-relationships between MPVC and mountain area development.

description: Lung lining fluid is the first biological barrier nanoparticles (NPs) encounter during inhalation. As previous inhalation studies revealed considerable differences between surface functionalized NPs with respect to deposition and toxicity, our aim was to investigate the influence of lipid and/or protein binding on these processes. Thus, we analyzed a set of surface functionalized NPs including different SiO2 and ZrO2 in pure phospholipids, CuroSurfTM and purified native porcine pulmonary surfactant (nS). Lipid binding was surprisingly low for pure phospholipids and only few NPs attracted a minimal lipid corona. Additional presence of hydrophobic surfactant protein (SP) B in CuroSurfTM promoted lipid binding to NPs functionalized with Amino or PEG residues. The presence of the hydrophilic SP A in nS facilitated lipid binding to all NPs. In line with this the degree of lipid and protein affinities for different surface functionalized SiO2 NPs in nS followed the same order (SiO2 Phosphate ∼ unmodified SiO2 2 PEG 2 Amino NPs). Agglomeration and biomolecule interaction of NPs in nS was mainly influenced by surface charge and hydrophobicity. Toxicological differences as observed in short-term inhalation studies (STIS) were mainly influenced by the core composition and/or surface reactivity of NPs. However, agglomeration in lipid media and lipid/protein affinity appeared to play a modulatory role on short-term inhalation toxicity. For instance, lipophilic NPs like ZrO2, which are interacting with nS to a higher extent, exhibited a far higher lung burden than their hydrophilic counterparts, which deserves further attention to predict or model effects of respirable NPs.

description: Zinc oxide (ZnO) particles induce acute occupational inhalation illness in humans and rats. However, the possible molecular mechanisms of ZnO particles on the respiratory system remain unclear. In this study, metabolic responses of the respiratory system of rats inhaled ZnO particles were investigated by a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomic approach. Male Sprague–Dawley rats were treated with a series of doses of nano-sized (35 nm) or fine-sized (250 nm) ZnO particles. The corresponding control groups inhaled filtered air. After 24 h, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissues were collected, extracted and prepared for 1H and J-resolved NMR analysis, followed by principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). PCA and PLSDA models from analysis of BALF and hydrophilic lung NMR spectra demonstrated that dose response trends were restricted to the 250 nm ZnO particle exposure group and were not observed in the 35 nm ZnO particle exposure group. Increased isoleucine and valine, as well as decreased acetate, trimethylamine n-oxide, taurine, glycine, formate, ascorbate and glycerophosphocholine, were recorded in the BALF of rats treated with moderate and high dose 250 nm ZnO exposures. Decreases in taurine and glucose, as well as an increase of phosphorylcholine-containing lipids and fatty acyl chains, were detected in the lung tissues from 250 nm ZnO-treated rats. These metabolic changes may be associated with cell anti-oxidation, energy metabolism, DNA damage and membrane stability. We also concluded that a metabolic approach provides more complete measurements and suggests potential molecular mechanisms of adverse effects.

description: How is it possible to meet the government's 2035-goals whilst continuously supplying district heating in Denmark at low costs and at a high security of supply?
This semester project analyses the possibilities of replacing the in-renewable heat production from the coal-fired CHP production unit FV07 at Fynsværket, with large industrial heat pumps.
When using heat pumps as the only supply unit, regulatory energy is required to maintain the security of supply. This project analyses the possibilities of using a heat storage facility to supply the district heating in times where the electricity price is _ high. To analyse the scenario, a MATLAB model is set up, minimising the hourly production costs and determining the minimum heat pump capacity and storage capacity needed to meet the demand in Fjernvarme Fyn's supply area.
Legislative and financial aspects of shutting down CHP plants and integrating heat pumps are considered. As the district heating production becomes reliant on the electricity production, the overall consumer costs in a heat pump based network will fluctuate with respect to the Nordpool spot price. This could set the foundation for making the district heating sector hourly charged, allocating the demand and lowering the price. Furthermore, the model concludes that the overall costs in the heat pump scenario becomes significantly lower than in the current network, as the fuel costs, including the CO2-quotas, are eliminated.

The Fallacies of Jerome Bruner's Hypothesis in 'The Process of Education:' A Deweyan Perspective
Creators: name: Deng, Zongyi
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This article attempts to expose the fallacies of Jerome Bruner's curricular hypothesis in The Process of Education through invoking the ideas of John Dewey, and in so doing, questions the uncritical acceptance of Bruner's doctrines by today educators. It examines the underlying assumptions in the hypothesis, focusing on the untenable dualisms between the logical and the psychological, subject matter and method. The central thesis is that the organization and formulation of the subject matter of the school curriculum involves essential psychological and epistemological issues whose neglect and denial would lead to confusion in theories of curriculum and instruction. This thesis carries significant implications for the making of the school curriculum.

description: With humans, a distinction can be made between explicit and implicit learning. language can be used to describe rule-based learning commonly seen in explicit, but not implicit learning. Unfortunately, we cannot do so with animals. Therefore, a non-verbal paradigm is needed to differentiate the types of learning. One method to make such a distinction is by training animals under a conditional discrimination task such as matching-to-sample with reinforcement delayed until a choice is made on the next trial: otherwise known as a 1-back procedure. In this experiment an alternating matching/mismatching to sample task under a 1-back schedule of reinforcement was used to determine if pigeons can demonstrate explicit learning. Pigeons were trained on red-green matching, and blue-yellow mismatching. Trials would randomly begin with either a matching or mismatching sample stimulus and would alternate every trial. Reinforcement was delivered under a 1-back schedule in which reinforcement only occurred on trial N if the response on trial N-1 was correct. Despite the delayed reinforcement schedule, pigeons showed significant levels of learning. However, given that the learning was slow and gradual it is unlikely that subjects learned the task explicitly.

Practices, Narratives, and the Telos of Educative Teaching
Creators: name: Madoc-Jones, Geoff
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Maclntyre's concept of practice when combined with his notions of narratives and tradition provide a view of educative teaching which should enable practitioners, present and future, to give a full account of their life's work. Teaching of this kind can be understood as an ethical enterprise, founded on principle, with a rich tradition in which the narrative is not merely someone else's story but one in which the practitioner can see oneself playing a meaningful part. This combination of clear conceptual framework and strong ethical ends and the intertwining of these ends and their particular means with the acceptance of personal narrative within that of the tradition of the practice should allow us to defend the enterprise of educative teaching against those who would seek to reduce schooling to mere socializing to present needs, or preparation for corporate employment and allow it to flourish in the future.

description: A comparative study of the cultural resistance curriculum artfully integrated in the English Program of Studies by patriotic teachers who taught in Franco-American and Canadian bilingual schools before 1960 disclosed that the French curriculum was based on the Quebec Program of Studies. As a result, la survivance discourses concealed in the French textbooks were founded on a defensive form of nationalism which blended language and faith. This paper provides examples illustrating the kinds of la survivance discourses selected by textbook writers to incite young Francophones to continue their ancestors' battles to protect and defend their linguistic, religious, and educational rights. For instance, discourses referring to French Canadians as victims of English Protestant fanatics, as champions of Christian democratic liberties, and as progressive people.

Nevertheless, despite favorable therapeutic profile, poor aqueous solubility and suboptimal oral bioavailability hamper the anticancer efficacy of TEL. Therefore, in this investigation, sigma-2 receptor ligand, 3-(4-cyclohexylpiperazine-1-yl) propyl amine (CPPA) anchored nanostructured lipid particles of telmisartan (CPPA-TEL-NLPs) were engineered using stearic acid for targeting prostate cancer, PC-3 cells. The mean particle size of TEL-NLPs was measured to be 25.4 ± 3.2 nm, significantly (p p p In vitro drug release study was conducted to determine the drug delivery potential of tailored nanoparticles. TEL-NLPs released 93.36% of drug significantly (p 50 of CPPA-TEL-NLPs was measured to be 20.3 µM significantly (p 50 of 41.3 µM, significantly (p > 0.05) not different from 43.4 µM, exhibited by TEL-NLPs in PNT-2 cells. We elucidated that CPPA-TEL-NLPs entered the PC-3 cells via receptor mediated endocytosis pathway and thus exhibited superior cytotoxicity, apoptosis and greater extent of cellular uptake in PC-3 cells. In conclusion, CPPA-TEL-NLPs may be a promising nanomedicine and warrant further in vivo investigations for gaining clinical success.

description: Few fields of study have generated as much research as education, with such a paucity of results. 1 Current critic isms of the education system suggest a slowness in responding to societal change, quite possibly resulting from a reluctance or even an inability to readily apply current theory to practice. The tendency has been to blame the teachers for a lack of professional maturity in keeping a breat and applying theory to the classroom. If such accusations are being made then perhaps the teachers should be permitted to respond. And so they do in this paper.

description: A series of 4,4ʹ-dialkoxy-3,3ʹ-diaminobiphenyl compounds were synthesised by three-step procedure that involves alkylation, nitration and reduction reactions. Their chemical structures were characterised by FTIR, 1H and 13C spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Their thermotropic liquid–crystalline (LC) properties were examined by a number of experimental techniques including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), polarising optical microscopy (POM) and variable temperature X-ray diffraction (VT-XRD). The 4,4ʹ-dialkoxy-3,3ʹ-dinitrobipheyl compounds, precursors to the diamine compounds, were also examined for their thermotropic LC properties. POM studies of focal conic textures and VT-XRD of the 3,3ʹ-diaminobiphenyl derivatives having flexible alkyl chains (C6–C12) exhibited the smectic A (SmA) phase independent of the length of alkyl chains. Similarly, the 3,3ʹ-dinitrobiphenyl derivatives containing alkyl chains C7, and C9–C11 exhibit the SmA phase, those containing C8 formed the smectic C (SmC) phase and C12 formed both the SmA and smectic B (SmB) phases, respectively. The 3,3ʹ-diaminobiphenyl derivatives had excellent thermal stability in the temperature range of 237–329°C, while those of 3,3ʹ-dinitrobiphenyl derivatives were in the temperature range of 270–321°C. The 3,3ʹ-diaminobiphenyl derivatives emitted UV light both in chloroform and acetonitrile.

I'm going to try , however, and to that end I shall avoid concentrating very much on three engaging areas of inquiry that beckon comfortingly but , a las, can become ends in themselves rather than shedding any fresh light on the concern of this conference. First, for purposes of this paper, I intend to shun the task of doing a literature review on what counts as a theory, and whether as a field of study education can claim to have any. Second, I shall not be detained by the cousin literature on what kind of theory an educational theory is supposed to be. And finally, I ' II sidestep detailed analysis of the literature that purports to tell whether and how theory relates to practice in the abstract.

Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: The relationship between teaching and research is extremely important to colleges and universities especially with changing expectations of faculty performance. This piece summarizes the results of empirical studies that have tried to measure this association; most did not find a significant relationship. However, measures of teaching effectiveness are generally inadequate ignoring those aspects of teaching that are most likely to benefit from research activity.

Non-monotonic reasoning

description: Circumscription is a prominent approach to bring non-monotonicity to Description Logics (DLs), but unfortunately, it usually displays very high computational complexity of reasoning. Many works have studied circumscribed DLs, but most of them focus on expressive DLs containing ALC, and the results for low-complexity DLs are limited. This paper summarises some recent progress in characterizing the computational complexity of reasoning in circumscribed DL-Lite. We perform a two-dimensional analysis, considering different languages of the DL-Lite family, and varying how concepts and roles are treated. In addition to classical circumscription, we consider the recently studied pointwise circumscription, which shows better complexity, in some cases, and remains decidable in the presence of minimized roles.

Moral Education and Non-Utilitarian Ideals
Creators: name: Wilson, John
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Perhaps particularly in the westernworld, the contents and scope of morality (and hence of moral education) are commonly conceived in Kantian and/or utilitarian terms, and restricted to the virtues of justice and benevolence. The basic idea is that there are a number of palpable and fairly obvious goods, to which all people have an equal right, and which moral principles are required to promote or maintain.

description: Introduction: Androgen receptor (AR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor and a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. It plays a vital role in male sexual development and regulates gene expression in various tissues, including prostate. Androgens are compounds that exert their biological effects via interaction with AR. Binding of androgens to AR initiates conformational changes in AR that affect binding of co-regulator proteins and DNA. AR agonists and antagonists are widely used in a variety of clinical applications (i.e. hypogonadism and prostate cancer therapy). Areas covered: This review provides a close look at structures of AR-ligand complexes and mutations in the receptor that have been revealed, discusses current challenges in the field, and sheds light on future directions. Expert opinion: AR is one of the primary targets for the treatment of prostate cancer, as AR antagonists inhibit prostate cancer growth. However, these drugs are not effective for long-term treatment and lead to castration-resistant prostate cancer. The structures of AR-ligand complexes are an invaluable scientific asset that enhances our understanding of biological functions and mechanisms of androgenic and anti-androgenic chemicals as well as promotes the discovery of superior drug candidates.

description: In the hands of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, ethics focused on the question of how to live, or how to live well. The Utilitarians and Kantians, the modern moral philosophers, have hijacked the subject, and have given it a new set of preoccupations. For one thing, they have entrenched a very narrow conception of ethical experience ... they have tended to take a very abstract view of what matters morally about and to human beings. The satisfaction of rational preferences, the more the better, matters crucially in utilitarianism and is the basis of moral obligations; the joint and mutual promotion of autonomy matters crucially to Kantians. Obligations based on these values can conflict very sharply with the requirements of living well. ( Sorell, 2000, p. 32)

description: The recently evolved field of synthetic biology has revolutionized the way we think of biology as an “engineerable” discipline. The newly sprouted branch is constantly in need of simple, cost-effective and automatable DNA-assembly methods. We have developed a reliable DNA-assembly system, ZeBRα (Zero-Background Redα), for cloning multiple DNA-fragments seamlessly with very high efficiency. The hallmarks of ZeBRα are the greatly reduced hands-on time and costs and yet excellent efficiency and flexibility. ZeBRα combines a “zero-background vector” with a highly efficient in vitro recombination method. The suicide-gene in the vector acts as placeholder, and is replaced by the fragments-of-interest, ensuring the exclusive survival of the successful recombinants. Thereby the background from uncut or re-ligated vector is absent and screening for recombinant colonies is unnecessary. Multiple fragments-of-interest can be assembled into the empty vector by a recombinogenic E. coli-lysate (SLiCE) with a total time requirement of less than 48 h. We have significantly simplified the preparation of the high recombination-competent E. coli-lysate compared to the original protocol. ZeBRα is the least labor intensive among comparable state-of-the-art assembly/cloning methods without a trade-off in efficiency.

description: Computational tools for analysis of vascular structure is an important step towards the diagnosis of vascular
anomalies. Vessel diameters, density and distance between bifurcations and tortuosity are fundamental information for distinguish anomaly vessels and can allow the study of angiogenesis. This work describes a technique that detects bifurcations of tubular networks in 3D images: synthetic, magnetic resonance angiography and computed tomography angiography images.Initially a centerline-based tracking using the Hough Transform as scale estimator is performed, then this semi-automatic technique is capable of detecting bifurcation points and use this points as a new tracking seed for extracting a full tree from a tubular network with minimal user intervention. A new measure bifurcation estimator (BE) is based on shape descriptors such as curvature to identify bifurcations and to estimate the next branch direction. Tests were performed on synthetic datasets and real images.

description: FYCO1 (FYVE and coiled-coil domain containing 1) functions as an autophagy adaptor in directly linking autophagosomes with the microtubule-based kinesin motor, and plays an essential role in the microtubule plus end-directed transport of autophagic vesicles. The specific association of FYCO1 with autophagosomes is mediated by its interaction with Atg8-family proteins decorated on the outer surface of autophagosome. However, the mechanistic basis governing the interaction between FYCO1 and Atg8-family proteins is largely unknown. Here, using biochemical and structural analyses, we demonstrated that FYCO1 contains a unique LC3-interacting region (LIR), which discriminately binds to mammalian Atg8 orthologs and preferentially binds to the MAP1LC3A and MAP1LC3B. In addition to uncovering the detailed molecular mechanism underlying the FYCO1 LIR and MAP1LC3A interaction, the determined FYCO1-LIR-MAP1LC3A complex structure also reveals a unique LIR binding mode for Atg8-family proteins, and demonstrates, first, the functional relevance of adjacent sequences C-terminal to the LIR core motif for binding to Atg8-family proteins. Taken together, our findings not only provide new mechanistic insight into FYCO1-mediated transport of autophagosomes, but also expand our understanding of the interaction modes between LIR motifs and Atg8-family proteins in general.

description: Determining BRAF mutation status of melanoma patients is important in selecting patients for immunotherapy. Molecular tests are the current gold standard in detecting this genetic alteration. A mutation specific monoclonal antibody has recently been developed which detects this mutated protein and can be used for immunohistochemical analysis. Immunohistochemistry is an easier, cheaper and quicker test compared to molecular methods. This audit analyses the feasibility of replacing molecular tests with immunohistochemistry by comparing the concordance between these two tests.
The Closure and Re-organisation of Institution of Teacher Education in England and Wales, 1972- 1981

description: The closure and reorganization of the Colleges of Education in England and Wales during the 1970s will perhaps go down in the history of English education at the beginning of the end! That is the beginning of the end I of the era of affluence in higher education in Britain which characterized the sixties and early seventies and which led one commentator to characterize the dominant values of teacher education at the time as those of 'social and literary romanticism.' The erosion of such values began then and it has continued unceasingly from that day forward. This has been accompanied by a major increase in forms of bureaucratic control under the demands both of a shrinking numbers base and of increasing organizational differentiation. In many cases this process has resulted in the attempted marriage of such romantic values with those of the craft and technical tradition in English education where, in the case of the last two, the liturgy of rationality as a highly valued goal in modem industrial societies is daily intoned.
