description: On the southern slopes of Mt.\ Kilimanjaro like in many other regions in East Africa, agriculture strongly depends on irrigation. Water is supplied to farms by an extensive network of open unlined canals, most of them built centuries ago. However, information about the distribution of these irrigation canals and the dynamics of their discharge is rare thus hampering the implementation of sustainable solutions for agricultural water management. We suppose that several factors like topography, soil properties, shifts of cropping patterns and weak institutions affect availability and management of agricultural water. Therefore, in this study we determined (i) the distribution of irrigation canals (ii) their discharge patterns and (iii) constraints to their sustainable management. The discharge of canals was measured at 11 locations along an altitudinal gradient and selected canals were mapped to understanding their distribution, physical characteristics and potential risks that limits their optimal discharge. Terrain attributes were derived from the ASTER DEM image and soil physical and hydraulic conductivity were measured to understand permeability and stability of the soil. Additionally, we conducted focus group discussions with participants from 15 villages and 10 key informants interviews. We found that the discharge of canals increased with decreasing elevation. The median daily discharges equalled 12.6, 9.5 and 7.0 l/s in the lower, mid and upper areas, respectively. During the dry season the discharge of canals was higher than in the short rainy season. Landscape in the central part of the study area was the steepest $(slope > 60\%)$ and the roughest $(Topographic Ruggedness Index > 80~m)$ which affects the distribution of canals and their maintenance. Furthermore, current shifts of cropping patterns increased irrigation water demands. Both formal and informal water institutions were constrained with several challenges that affected overall management of canals and their sources. Distribution and discharge of canals at Mt.\ Kilimanjaro are influenced by both biophysical and anthropogenic activities. Therefore, integrated approaches are needed to achieve equitable and sustainable supply of water among different user groups.

description: This study examined relational-uncertainty perceptions (a form of cognitive appraisal) to investigate how partners in 272 heterosexual couples responded emotionally to a relationship-challenging event. Participants rated themselves on attachment anxiety and avoidance. Then, after listing a challenging event, they rated how uncertain it made them about their own and their partner's continued involvement in the relationship. Participants also rated how angry and fearful the event made them. An Actor-Partner Interdependence Model yielded three sets of results. First, actor effects from insecure attachment orientations to episodic relational uncertainty emerged. Second, proposed mediation between attachment orientations and emotional reactions by uncertainty was partially supported (perceived partner-uncertainty partially mediated the positive association of anxious attachment and fear, and self-uncertainty partially mediated the positive relation between avoidant attachment and anger). Finally, a partner effect was found between one couple member's avoidant attachment and the other's perceived partner uncertainty. Men and women exhibited similar findings.

description: A previous study on the relationship between subjective well-being (SWB) and hedonic editing—the process of mentally integrating or segregating different events during decision-making—showed that happy individuals preferred the social-buffering strategy more than less happy individuals. The present study examined the relationship between SWB, social-buffering and hedonic outcomes in daily life. In Study 1, we used web-based diaries to measure the frequency with which individuals utilised social and non-social buffers as well as daily levels of happiness. Consistent with the previous finding, happy individuals utilised social buffers more frequently than less happy individuals. Interestingly, the utilisation of social buffers had a positive effect on daily happiness among all participants, regardless of individuals’ levels of SWB. In Study 2, we found that although the use of social buffers yielded similar effects across groups on online evaluations of events, happy individuals showed a positive bias in global evaluations of past events. This finding suggests that how one construes and remembers the outcomes of social buffering may shape the different hedonic editing preferences among happy and less happy individuals.

description: Введение. Вторая часть исследования посвящена кадрам центров медицинской профилактики (часть 1 «Кадровые ресурсы центров здоровья» – см. журнал «Современные проблемы здравоохранения и медицинской статистики», No4 за 2019 год). Цель. Анализ кадрового обеспечения центров медицинской профилактики в период 2014-2018 гг. Материал и методы. Использованы данные формы No70 за 2014-2018 гг. Методы: описательной статистики и аналитический. Результаты. В 2018 году в Российской Федерации работало 83 региональных центра медицинской профилактики (ЦМП). При этом практически ни в одном субъекте России нет ЦМП, чья структура соответствовала бы приказу Минздрава России. В 2018 г. среднероссийский показатель укомплектованности штатов ЦМП врачами составил 71,5% (за год уменьшился на 2,2%) при коэффициенте совместительства 1,3. Среднероссийские показатели укомплектованности штатов ЦМП в 2018 году составили: психологами – 42,7%; редакторами – 39,6% (снижение показателя в течение последних трех лет); журналистами – 21,6% (снижение за год на 2,7%); социологами – 27,5% (снижение за год на 7,1%); педагогами – 16,8% (снижение в течение 4-х лет). Укомплектованность инженерами ЭВМ – 40,6% (-4,9%). Штатные должности инструкторов по санитарному просвещению укомплектованы на 40,9%. Обсуждение и выводы. ЦМП и ЦЗ имеют сходные кадровые проблемы: низкая укомплектованность, отсутствие практики нормирования труда сотрудников. Организация ЦМП также характеризуется отсутствием единых походов. Обобщая результаты 1 и 2 частей настоящего исследования, необходимо отметить, что задачи, которые ставятся сегодня перед здравоохранением, требуют пересмотра всей системы организации профилактической работы с населением. Основной задачей федерального проекта «Укрепление общественного здоровья» является формирование среды, способствующей ведению гражданами здорового образа жизни, включая создание на базе существующих ЦМП и ЦЗ центров общественного здоровья (ЦОЗ). Однако недостаточное кадровое обеспечение ЦЗ и ЦМП не рассматривается в качестве риска при реализации проекта. При этом действующая отчетная документация также требует существенного пересмотра.

description: Введение. Служба охраны материнства и детства реализует мероприятия, направленные на сохранение и укрепление здоровья женского и детского населения. Наиболее значимыми критериями эффективности деятельности данной службы выступают показатели здоровья населения (медико-демографические, заболеваемости, инвалидности), а также показатели деятельности медицинских организаций, отражающие медико-социальную эффективность оказания медицинской помощи. Цель исследования – оценка эффективности деятельности медицинских организаций, оказывающих медицинскую помощь женскому и детскому населению на территории субъекта РФ (по материалам Забайкальского края). Материал и методы. Социально-гигиеническая оценка показателей эффективности деятельности службы охраны материнства и детства в Забайкальском крае проведена на основе комплексного анализа индикаторов, характеризующих акушерско-гинекологическую и педиатрическую службы: изучение ресурсной обеспеченности медицинских организаций, показателей здоровья детского и женского населения, уровня репродуктивных потерь, за период с 2012 по 2018 гг. Исследование проведено на основе материалов государственной статистической отчетности ГУЗ «МИАЦ» с применением пакета программ IBM SPSS Statistics 22. Результаты. В ходе собственного исследования, направленного на изучение показателей деятельности службы охраны материнства и детства Забайкальского края за период с 2012 по 2018 гг. установлено, что показатели ресурсной обеспеченности медицинских организаций ниже нормативных значений, что обусловливает ограничение доступности медицинской помощи населению. При оценке медико-социальной эффективности учреждений здравоохранения, оказывающих медицинскую помощь женскому и детскому населению, выявлено увеличение уровня репродуктивных потерь, преимущественно за счет пренатальных и фето-инфантильных потерь. Выводы. 1) высокий уровень репродуктивных потерь обусловливает снижение репродуктивного потенциала населения региона; 2) негативная оценка показателей здоровья женского и детского населения свидетельствует о низкой медицинской и профилактической активности и ограниченной доступности медицинской помощи; 3) недостаточная ресурсная обеспеченность службы охраны материнства и детства может повлечь нарушения порядков оказания медицинской помощи.

description: The summer flounder or fluke (Paralichthys dentatus) supports the most biologically and economically important commercial and recreational flatfish fisheries of the U.S. Atlantic coast, ranging from Massachusetts to North Carolina. Three previous papers recounted how fishing mortality had stabilized by 2017 at its lowest level in over 40 years, with stock biomass near its highest since the comprehensive stock assessments began in the mid-1970s. This sequence of stock decline to near collapse and subsequent successful rebuilding had a significant effect on the observed and estimated biological characteristics of the population. It is widely expressed that northwest Atlantic Ocean temperatures have rapidly increased over this same period and likely have a range of impacts on marine populations (Pershing et al. 2019). In this work, the assessment results and biological and environmental information associated with the stock are updated through 2022, and some exploratory analyses are conducted to quantify significant drivers of summer flounder population dynamics, all with the goal of providing useful information and direction for future stock assessments.

description: A successful start-up enables acceleration of anaerobic digestion (AD) into steady state. The microbial community influences the AD performance during the start-up. To investigate how microbial communities changed during the start-up, microbial dynamics was analyzed via high-throughput sequencing in this study. The results confirmed that the AD was started up within 25 d. Thermophilic methanogens and bacterial members functioning in hydrolysis, acidogenesis, and syntrophic oxidation became predominant during the start-up stage, reflecting a quick adaption of microorganisms to operating conditions. Such predominance also indicated the great contribution of these members to the fast start-up of AD. Redundancy analysis confirmed that the bacterial abundance significantly correlated with AD conditions. The stable ratio of hydrogenotrophic methanogens to aceticlastic methanogens is also important to maintain the stability of the AD process. This work will be helpful to understand the contribution of microbial community to the start-up of AD. The adaption of microbial community contributes to fast start-up of the thermophilic anaerobic digestion treating food waste.

description: Background: To identify the level of periostin in serum and peritoneal washing fluids (PWF) from women with and without endometriosis, as well as to explore the potential of periostin as a biomarker of endometriosis. Methods: Samples were obtained from 184 women with and without endometriosis. Concentrations of periostin in PWF and blood were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Levels of periostin both in serum and PWF were notably elevated in women with endometriosis in both the proliferative and secretory phase. Combined with dysmenorrhea and infertility, two potential covariates, the serum periostin had a sensitivity of 75.00%, specificity of 65.00%, and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.774, whereas the PWF periostin had a sensitivity of 94.23%, specificity of 90.00%, and AUC of 0.967 for the diagnosis of endometriosis. Conclusion: Serum and PWF periostin concentrations may be new potential biomarkers for endometriosis, especially when combined with dysmenorrhea and infertility.
Practitioner Knowledge: An Examination of the Artistry in Teaching

description: This paper seeks to clarify the ways in which teachers think by integrating some aspects of artistry in teaching discussed by Rubin (1985) and some aspects of reflective practice identified by Schoen ( 1983). These aspects of artistic and reflective practice are amplified and elucidated by using Polanyi 's notion of tacit knowledge and Dreyfus and Dreyfus' description of expert practice. The paper illustrates the points made with quotations from experienced teachers and develops some implications for teacher education.

The Philosophic Pretence of Linguistic Analysis: A Polanyian Perspective on Joe Green 's Drawing Out Paul Hirst's Concept of Reason
Creators: name: Cato, Dennis
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: "Objectivism," the view that valid knowledge can be obtained only by impersonal rules of procedure, constituted, for Michael Polanyi in his theory of "personal knowledge" , the pathology of modem thought. In science objectivism was manifested in the form of positivism, the appeal to the "objective" procedures of observation, testing and experiment. In philosophy, objectivism takes several forms, perhaps the most widespread spread of which is that of linguistic analysis, the appeal to the "objective" rules of usage. This paper attempts to reveal the objectivist premises of a recent example of such analysis, that of Joe Green 's " The Concept of Reason in Hirst's Forms of Knowledge." (The Journal of Educational Thought, Vol. 19, No. 2, August, 1985.)

The White Paper, Education and the Crafts: An Assessment of Values
Creators: name: Richmond, Stuart
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: A parallel of instrumentally direct thinking can be drawn between the Alberta Government's White Paper on industry and science, and the Industrial Education curriculum for schools. This reveals a philosophy which focuses on "means" to the detriment of the inherent qualitative dimensions of work and learning. An analysis of "craft" testifies to the central, creative role of the craftworker, and shows how craft in its traditional "making" sense forms an interrelated whole of means, ends, and values. On this account craft can, and in some industrialized counties does, play an important part in education, industry and the quality of life generally.

Constructivist Epistemology in Action
Creators: name: Kumar, Muthu
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: In alignment with the challenges of knowledge-based economies of today, teachers are compelled to constantly revise traditional notions of learning in order to motivate students to find delight in the active creation, exploration, and discovery of disciplinary knowledge. In examining innovative philosophies of education, constructivism stands out as one much heralded alternative that has been widely promoted in recent times in attempts at moving away from old ways of instruction and their attendant limitations. By empowering learners to be self-directed, in theory, a learning model underpinned by constructivist principles undoubtedly offers an array of attractive pedagogical benefits. However, the real-time implementation of such a model within the constraints of classroom contexts could potentially be problematic. In this paper, some of the conundrums associated with the application of constructivist ideas in learning environments are discussed. A constructivism oriented instructional framework that tries to bridge the chasm between theory and practice is also elucidated in this paper. This framework suggests a repertoire of heuristic instructional strategies that facilitate students' independent construction of various classes of scientific knowledge.

Educating Preservice Teachers for Diversity: Perspectives on the Possibilities and Limitations of Service Learning
Creators: name: Desrochers, Claire
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: In this article, service learning is explored as a way to educate preservice teachers for diversity. By providing the opportunity to learn experientially about other cultures, service learning can "shift principles of multicultural education from abstraction to reality" (Boyle-Baise, 2002, p. 7). However, putting preservice teachers in contact with children in culturally and socially diverse settings through service is not enough to ensure that learning about diversity will take place. This paper highlights the complexity both of learning about diversity in teacher education and of doing so through service. These perspectives are offered to foster reflection on the way service learning engagements might be structured to engage preservice teachers in the exploration of issues of diversity through personal and meaningful involvement with children from socially and culturally diverse backgrounds.

The State and the Politics of Knowledge

Year: 2018

description: When the veneer of the employability skills discourse is stripped away from career education policies, these neo-liberal initiatives focus on creating an ideologically compliant workforce for the unstable global labor market. In South Korea, conservative business lobby groups paint a decidedly bleak picture of the nation's readiness to meet global labor market changes, describing it as a "national crisis" to justify implementing career education: "The dominant group identified militant labor strikes, the shortage of manual labor, and the Korean people's supposedly irrational aspirations for college education and for mental labor as the main factors in weakening national competitiveness" (p. 150).

description: Traditional robotic control suits require profound task-specific knowledge for designing, building and testing control software. The rise of Deep Learning has enabled end-to-end solutions to be learned entirely from data, requiring minimal knowledge about the application area. We design a learning scheme to train end-to-end linear dynamical systems (LDS)s by gradient descent in imitation learning robotic domains. We introduce a new regularization loss component together with a learning algorithm that improves the stability of the learned autonomous system, by forcing the eigenvalues of the internal state updates of an LDS to be negative reals. We evaluate our approach on a series of real-life and simulated robotic experiments, in comparison to linear and nonlinear Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architectures. Our results show that our stabilizing method significantly improves test performance of LDS, enabling such linear models to match the performance of contemporary nonlinear RNN architectures. A video of the obstacle avoidance performance of our method on a mobile robot, in unseen environments, compared to other methods can be viewed at https://youtu.be/mhEsCoNao5E.

description: Silica-modified magnetite-polyoxometalates functionalized with sulfamic acid groups as hybrid nanoparticles were prepared by sulfonation of diamine-functionalized propyl group grafted on the magnetic silica-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles. This heterogeneous nanocatalyst was explored to present high catalytic performance for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidinones and tetrahydrobenzo[b]pyrans under mild reaction conditions. The properties of this nanocatalyst were characterized by FT- infrared, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence and elemental analysis. Easy separation of the nanocatalyst by using an external magnet, recyclability, non-toxicity, versatility and high stability of the catalyst combined with low reaction times and excellent yields make the present protocol very useful and attractive for the synthesis of the titled products.

description: All of these authors wrote about their own cultural differences of theoretical understanding and practical implementation of "modern languages across the curriculum," which they also call "content and language integrated learning." For example, there is a need for advanced oral and written proficiency for subject-knowledge requirements and for pedagogical content knowledge, the "modern languages across the curriculum" that comprises language acquisition and development, bilingualism, school policy, material developments, and assessment (p. 185).

description: The design, synthesis, structure, and in vitro anticancer and antimycobacterial activity of new hybrid imidazole (benzimidazole)/pyridine (quinoline) derivatives are described. The strategy adopted for synthesis is straight and efficient, involving a three-step setup procedure: N-acylation, N-alkylation, and quaternization of nitrogen heterocycle. The solubility in microbiological medium and anticancer and antimycobacterial activity of a selection of new synthesized compounds were evaluated. The hybrid derivatives have an excellent solubility in microbiological medium, which make them promising from the pharmacological properties point of view. One of the hybrid compounds, 9 (with a benzimidazole and 8-aminoquinoline skeleton), exhibits a very good and selective antitumor activity against Renal Cancer A498 and Breast Cancer MDA-MB-468. Moreover, the anticancer assay suggests that the hybrid Imz (Bimz)/2-AP (8-AQ) compounds present a specific affinity to Renal Cancer A498. Concerning the antimycobacterial activity, only the hybrid compound, 9, has a significant activity. SAR correlations have been performed.

Construction and Education

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

description: Do we construct our own world from our experiences? A number of educational jurisdictions in our time have embraced inquiry as the official approach to teaching and learning. Most thought, so far as it was mediated by language and not just grunts and crude gestures, would have been immediate and concrete like Wittgenstein's builders in the first few sections of the Philosophical Investigations, Yet in the lives of our not so distant ancestors much, perhaps most of the things encountered in their everyday lives were not in any direct sense made or constructed. For the objects of everyday life are now not constructed in the old way by family members, by past tribal members remembered, or by ourselves.\n Of course a child finds itself in a world of language in much the way a hawk finds itself in a world of flight.
