Year: 2017

description: The article provides an overview about studies of emergent literacy skills defined as the set of skills, knowledge and attitudes that are prerequisites of the ability to read and write. Neural circuits that enable language and reading skills are based on a combination of innate patterns and environmental experiences, which develop from the earliest stages of life. Precocity of initiation into shared reading is an important factor in building and improving emergent literacy components, in terms of both oral language, phonological component and knowledge of the written language in its conventional aspects, its functions and knowledge of the alphabet itself. If the family has the primary task of promoting opportunities for dialogic reading, the educational services in the 0-6 age group today are called out to recognize a fundamental role to the practice of shared reading and to earn a progressive awareness of the benefits that can produce in terms of cognitive, emotional and relational development. Emergent literacy e lettura condivisa. Leggere senza saper leggere L’articolo fornisce una panoramica sugli studi relativi alle competenze di emergent literacy definite come l’insieme di abilità, conoscenze e attitudini che costituiscono i presupposti della capacità di leggere e scrivere. I circuiti neuronali che promuovono il linguaggio e la lettura sono basati su combinazioni di elementi innati e di esperienze ambientali che si sviluppano fin dai primi anni di vita. Una precoce esposizione alla lettura condivisa rappresenta un importante fattore per la costruzione e il potenziamento delle componenti di alfabetizzazione emergenti, sia in termini di linguaggio orale e componente fonologica che in termini di conoscenza del linguaggio scritto nei suoi aspetti convenzionali, nelle sue funzioni e nella conoscenza dell’alfabeto stesso. Se la famiglia ha il compito principale di promuovere occasioni di lettura dialogica, anche il mondo dei servizi educativi 0-6 oggi è chiamato a riconoscere un ruolo fondamentale alla pratica della lettura e ad assumere una progressiva consapevolezza dei benefici che può produrre in termini di sviluppo cognitivo, emotivo e relazionale.

Year: 2017

description: Emergent literacy studies provide useful information to rethink the first literacy teaching practices oriented at overcoming early acquisition of pure instrumentality. The orthogenetic-Siglo method supports emergent literacy processes and allows, in continuity with them, learning by discovery of alphabetic language. This is made possible by creating continuity between the oral and the written language using syllables and not phonemes. Dall’alfabetizzazione emergente all’apprendimento della lettura e della scrittura: il metodo ortogenetico-Siglo Gli studi sull’alfabetizzazione emergente offrono utili indicazioni per ripensare il processo di prima alfabetizzazione, superando pratiche didattiche orientate fin dalle prime fasi all’esclusiva acquisizione di strumentalità. Diversamente il metodo ortogenetico-Siglo, sostenendo e valorizzando i processi di alfabetizzazione emergente, consente l’apprendimento per scoperta del linguaggio alfabetico. Ciò è reso possibile assicurando la continuità tra il linguaggio orale e quello scritto grazie all’utilizzazione delle sillabe e non dei fonemi.

description: This work provides a unified theoretical treatment of the single and correlated double-electron emission from a general electronic system. Using Feshbach projection method, the states of interest are selected by the projection operator; the Feshbach-Schur map determines the effective Hamiltonian and the optical potential for the emitted electrons. On the other hand, the nonequilibrium Green's functions method is demonstrated to be a complementary approach and an explicit correspondence between both methods is established. For a self-contained exposition some results on single electron emission are re-derived using both formalisms. New insights and results are obtained for the correlated electron-pair emission: This includes the effective two-electron Hamiltonian, the explicit form of the Feshbach self-energy in terms of the many-body self-energies, and the diagrammatic expansion of the two-particle current. As an illustration of the diagrammatic technique the process of the two-particle emission assisted by the excitation of plasmons is explicitly worked out.

PLATO's capability in studying Phase Curves

Phase Curves

description: The PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) telescope is going to study a large number of extrasolar planetary systems. Given the design of the mission, PLATO will produce long-duration uninterrupted high precision photometry of extrasolar systems and as a result, PLATO is best suited for acquiring Optical phase curves of transiting exoplanets in the JWST era. We present a scientific motivation for the observation of short-period, highly-irradiated transiting exoplanets. The close proximity of a short-period planet gives rise to the detection of reflected radiations off the planet's illuminated hemisphere and the high irradiation leads to thermal emissions detectable even in the Optical wavelengths. The signal-to-noise ratio of the secondary eclipse and phase variations increases significantly by phase-folding the light curve obtained over multiple orbits of the planet which is again a noteworthy consequence of prolonged observations with PLATO. Such measurements are crucial for characterizing the atmospheres of exoplanets as they provide estimates on their atmospheric albedo, brightness temperatures, and heat re-distribution around the hemispheres. In addition to that, Phase curves also contain the information of stellar tidal deformation by massive companion exoplanet which is visible in the form of ellipsoidal variation in the apparent flux of the star. Therefore, a well-characterized phase curve also helps in a better characterization of the host star. Lastly, the high-precision phase curve obtained with PLATO also provides a great opportunity for studying and characterizing the atmospheres of moderately inclined non-transiting exoplanets.

description: Asthenognathus atlanticus Monod, 1932, has been reported for the first time from the eastern part of the Bay of Seine (eastern English Channel). A total of 30 specimens were collected between the years 2008 and 2011, along the Normandy coast from Ouistreham to Antifer, mainly on mud and muddy sand habitats, between 10 and 25 m depth. The distribution range of A. atlanticus has been previously known to cover eastern Atlantic coasts from Angola to the western English Channel, where it reached its northern limits. It is also present in the western part of the Mediterranean Sea. The changes in the sediment composition of the eastern Bay of Seine have probably led to the development of a potentially favorable habitat for this species. However, the data collected have not yet been sufficient to ascertain the origin, and the method of introduction of the eastern English Channel specimens. In the discussion, we ponder if they might have originated from the western English Channel populations, and was transported as larvae in the eastern English Channel; they could have originated from a more distant population, and have been brought to the eastern English Channel through human activities. Each hypothesis is possible in theory.

description: We present optical and near-infrared light curves and optical spectra of SN 2013dx, associated with the nearby (redshift 0.145) gamma-ray burst GRB 130702A. The prompt isotropic gamma-ray energy released from GRB 130702A is measured to be $E_{γ,iso}=6.4_{-1.0}^{+1.3}\times10^{50}$erg (1keV-10MeV in the rest frame), placing it intermediate between low-luminosity GRBs like GRB 980425/SN 1998bw and the broader cosmological population. We compare the observed $g'r'i'z'$ light curves of SN 2013dx to a SN 1998bw template, finding that SN 2013dx evolves ~20% faster (steeper rise time), with a comparable peak luminosity. Spectroscopically, SN 2013dx resembles other broad-lined Type Ic supernovae, both associated with (SN 2006aj and SN 1998bw) and lacking (SN 1997ef, SN 2007I, and SN 2010ah) gamma-ray emission, with photospheric velocities around peak of ~21,000km s$^{-1}$. We construct a quasi-bolometric ($g'r'i'z'yJ$) light curve for SN 2013dx, only the fifth GRB-associated SN with extensive NIR coverage and the third with a bolometric light curve extending beyond $Δt>40$d. Together with the measured photospheric velocity, we derive basic explosion parameters using simple analytic models. We infer a $^{56}$Ni mass of $M_{\mathrm{Ni}}=0.37\pm0.01$M$_{\odot}$, an ejecta mass of $M_{\mathrm{ej}}=3.1\pm0.1$M$_{\odot}$, and a kinetic energy of $E_{\mathrm{K}}=(8.2\pm0.43)\times10^{51}$ erg (statistical uncertainties only), consistent with previous GRB-associated SNe. When considering the ensemble population of GRB-associated SNe, we find no correlation between the mass of synthesized $^{56}$Ni and high-energy properties, despite clear predictions from numerical simulations that $M_{\mathrm{Ni}}$ should correlate with the degree of asymmetry. On the other hand, $M_{\mathrm{Ni}}$ clearly correlates with the kinetic energy of the supernova ejecta across a wide range of core-collapse events.

description: The present study investigates in vitro 14C D-glucose transfer across the digestive wall of the irregular echinoid, Echinocardium cordatum (Echinodermata). It aims to characterize absorption ability of the gastric caecum. The experimental device used was the Ussing chamber system. It consists of two compartments clamped together, sandwiching the digestive wall. This allows orientated measurements of radiolabelled nutrient flux through the digestive wall i.e., from the digestive lumen to the perivisceral coelomic cavity. Incorporation of 14C D-glucose by the digestive tube wall as well as the transmural flux and the total amount of 14C D-glucose transferred to the coelomic compartment were quantified. The results show C14 D-glucose incorporation in the digestive wall did not differ significantly in the stomach, the gastric caecum and the intestine whereas the amount of 14C D-glucose in the coelomic fluid was significantly higher in the intestine and in the gastric caecum than in the stomach. These observations indicate regional specialization of the digestive tube and sug- gest that the caecum like the intestine is an important site of nutrient absorption.

description: The Ministry of Education in Italy has launched several initiatives to foster inclusive school system; the Specialization Course for Support Teacher (D.M. 30.09.2011) attests the institutional willingness to make this educational area an organic and unavoidable component of future teachers professionalism. In this paper we analyze the approach and outcomes of the first two cycles of the Specialization Course for Support Teacher held at the University of Florence in the years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015: they represented a test case to evaluate possibilities and problems in implementing an institutional innovation in a complex area as inclusion. We intend to provide indications for the construction of a model of quality and show how the Course will be exposed to a circular process of improvement to influence the third edition in 2017. La formazione per il sostegno. Valutare l’innovazione didattica in un’ottica di qualità Il MIUR ha avviato diverse iniziative per favorire un sistema scolastico inclusivo; il Corso di Specializzazione per il Sostegno (D.M. 30.09.2011) attesta la volontà istituzionale di rendere questo ambito della formazione una componente organica e imprescindibile della professionalità dei futuri insegnanti. Nel presente contributo si analizzano l’impostazione e gli esiti dei primi due cicli del Corso di Specializzazione per il sostegno tenutisi presso l’Università di Firenze, negli anni 2013-2014 e 2014-2015: essi hanno rappresentato un banco di prova per valutare possibilità e criticità nell’attuare una innovazione istituzionale in un ambito complesso come quello dell’inclusione. Intendiamo quindi avanzare indicazioni per la costruzione di un modello di qualità e mostrare come il Corso possa essere sottoposto ad un processo circolare di miglioramento in grado di interessare anche la terza edizione del 2017.

description: ObjectivesTo estimate exposures to asbestos fibres of specific sizes among asbestos textile manufacturing workers exposed to chrysotile using data from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and to evaluate the extent to which the risk of lung cancer varies with fibre length and diameter.Methods3803 workers employed for at least 1 day between 1 January 1950 and 31 December 1973 in any of three plants in North Carolina, USA that produced asbestos textile products and followed for vital status through 31 December 2003 were included. Historical exposures to asbestos fibres were estimated from work histories and 3578 industrial hygiene measurements taken in 1935–1986. Exposure–response relationships for lung cancer were examined within the cohort using Poisson regression.ResultsIndicators of fibre length and diameter obtained by TEM were positively and significantly associated with increasing risk of lung cancer. Exposures to longer and thinner fibres tended to be most strongly associated with lung cancer, and models for these fibres fit the data best. Simultaneously modelling indicators of cumulative mean fibre length and diameter yielded a positive coefficient for fibre length and a negative coefficient for fibre diameter.ConclusionsThe results support the hypothesis that the risk of lung cancer among workers exposed to chrysotile asbestos increases with exposure to longer fibres. More research is needed to improve the characterisation of exposures by fibre size and number and to analyse the associated risks in a variety of industries and populations.

description: In many scientific fields, the order of coauthors on a paper conveys information about each individual's contribution to a piece of joint work. We argue that in prior network analyses of coauthorship networks, the information on ordering has been insufficiently considered because ties between authors are typically symmetrized. This is basically the same as assuming that each co-author has contributed equally to a paper. We introduce a solution to this problem by adopting a coauthorship credit allocation model proposed by Kim and Diesner (2014), which in its core conceptualizes co-authoring as a directed, weighted, and self-looped network. We test and validate our application of the adopted framework based on a sample data of 861 authors who have published in the journal Psychometrika. Results suggest that this novel sociometric approach can complement traditional measures based on undirected networks and expand insights into coauthoring patterns such as the hierarchy of collaboration among scholars. As another form of validation, we also show how our approach accurately detects prominent scholars in the Psychometric Society affiliated with the journal.

description: Early life stages of tuna species were investigated along the Tunisian east coast during the summer of 2008 by means of a larval survey conducted on board the R/V HANNIBAL. In this study we define the spawning grounds of tuna fishes in Tunisian waters and relate the tuna larvae spatial distribution to the hydrographic features and other environmental parameters. A total of 282 larvae of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus, Linnaeus, 1758), 902 of bullet tuna (Auxis rochei, Risso, 1810) and 19 of little tuna (Euthynnus alletteratus, Raf, 1810), were identified. High larval concentrations of bluefin tuna were located offshore (mean = 200 ± 18 m), at sea surface temperatures ranging between 23.7 to 25.3°C, whereas the highest concentrations of bullet and little tuna were located in shallower waters (mean = 135 ± 75 m), at sea surface temperature ranging between 25.1 to 25.9°C. According to their preference for waters with surface salinities ranging between 37.1 and 37.8, spawning of these species seems to occur mainly in mixed waters. Stations where tuna larvae were collected showed oxygen concentrations between 6.55 and 6.85 mg l-1, as well as low turbidity and chlorophyll a values, from 0.2 to 0.5 NTU and less than 1 mg m-3, respectively. These three environmental factors were weakly correlated with tuna larvae abundance.

description: The opisthobranch mollusks recorded in the National Park Arrecife Alacranes, a marine protected area and the largest coral reef in the southern Gulf of Mexico, were studied during three survey periods in 2009-2010. Several substrate types: rocks, sponges, corals, sand, Thalassia beds and drifting Sargassum were analyzed. A total of 32 species, belonging to 22 genera, 15 families and four orders were registered. The most diverse order was the Nudibranchia, probably due to the variety of habitats and the feeding resources they exploit. The species Elysia crispata, E. tuca, Aplysia dactylomela, Phyllaplysia engeli and Phidiana lynceus were recorded during the three sampling seasons, suggesting that they are common in the reef system. The ecological success of the Elysia species is due to their ability of incorporate and maintain chloroplasts photosynthetically active, providing the species with extra energy in the case of limited feeding resources. Our own and previous records of Elysia cf. timida, Ercolania cf. coerulea, Polycera herthae, Aeolidiella stephanieae, Spurilla sargassicola, Doto pygmaea and Learchis evelinae suggested that these organisms are not frequent species in the western Atlantic. Finally, the geographical range of S. sargassicola is extended southwards, and that of L. evelinae towards north.

description: Is it possible to use comics at school in order to further students’ reading literacy? In this article the authors try to reply to this question applying the principles of the sequential art. Moving from the robust consensus of educational value of images in textbooks, the proposal of a mediation realized using multimodal texts, like comics, represents an alternative and valid solution to traditional teaching reading paths. After a literature review, an analysis of implications and main criticalities on using comics at school is presented. These passages are functional to explore new didactic scenarios where images and written texts can be used to promote the development of the reading literacy as an interactive and social activity. Fumetti e competenza di lettura: per una didattica dell’arte sequenziale È possibile utilizzare il fumetto a scuola per la promozione della competenza di lettura? Il presente articolo prova a rispondere a questa domanda ricorrendo ai principi dell’arte sequenziale. A fronte del riconoscimento, ormai consolidato, del valore educativo delle immagini nei libri, la proposta di una mediazione realizzata attraverso testi multimodali, quali quelli del fumetto, si pone come un’alternativa didattica ai tradizionali percorsi di insegnamento-apprendimento della lettura. Alla rassegna sul fumetto è affiancata così una disamina delle implicazioni e delle criticità correlate al suo uso a scuola: passaggi funzionali all’esplorazione dei possibili scenari di una didattica che, puntando su immagini e parola scritta, consenta di promuovere l’acquisizione e lo sviluppo della competenza di lettura intesa come attività sociale e interattiva.

description: Stomatopoda and Decapoda crustaceans play an important role in the marine ecosystems through varied ecological strategies and bio-disturbance of species' community with an important effect on the benthic communities' structure, in addition to abiotic factors (such as temperature, salinity and type of bottom). Furthermore, faunal inventories are necessary, especially when focused on ecological and economical important groups, such as the Malacostraca class, and concentrated on areas under intense fishery activity such as the gulf of Gabes (Central Mediterranean). Inshore and offshore collections were performed at 30 sites of the Gulf's continental shell (20-260 m depth) in spring 2009, by employing two experimental bottom trawl gears. Overall, 40 species were detected in the samples distributed among Stomatopoda (only one species) and Decapoda (7 Dendrobranchiata, 3 Caridea, 1 Astacidea, 7 Anomura, and 21 Brachyura). In terms of abundance, Stomatopoda contributed for about 14%. The coastal area of the gulf (especially, areas in the North-east of Gabès and North-west of Djerba between 20 and 40 m depth) hosted a high variety of species; the most abundant were Squilla mantis, Paguristes eremite, Inachus dorsettensis and the exotic intruder Trachysalambria palaestinensis.

description: Observations on 2011 August 9 of an X6.9-class flare in active region (AR) 11263 by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on-board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), were followed by a rare detection of vertical kink oscillations in a large-scale coronal active region plasma curtain in EUV coronal lines. The damped oscillations with periods in the range 8.8-14.9 min were detected and analyzed recently. Our aim is to study the generation and propagation of the MHD oscillations in the plasma curtain taking into account realistic 3D magnetic and density structure of the curtain. We also aim at testing and improving coronal seismology for more accurate determination of the magnetic field than with standard method. We use the observed morphological and dynamical conditions, as well as plasma properties of the coronal curtain based on Differential Emission Measure (DEM) analysis to initialize a 3D MHD model of its vertical and transverse oscillations by implementing the impulsively excited velocity pulse mimicking the flare generated nonlinear fast magnetosonic propagating disturbance interacting with the curtain obliquely. The model is simplified by utilizing initial dipole magnetic field, isothermal energy equation, and gravitationally stratified density guided by observational parameters. Using the 3D MHD model, we are able to reproduce the details of the vertical oscillations and study the process of their excitation by nonlinear fast magnetosonic pulse, propagation, and damping, finding agreement with the observations. We estimate the accuracy of simplified slab-based coronal seismology by comparing the determined magnetic field strength to actual values from the 3D MHD modeling results and demonstrate the importance of taking into account more realistic magnetic geometry and density for improving coronal seismology.

description: Age and growth parameters of golden grey mullet Liza aurata (Risso, 1810) were estimated based upon sample of 583 otoliths (saggitae). Fish (12.7 to 29.3 cm TL) were carried out from commercial fishing vessels operating with purse seine and gill nets along the southeast Tunisian coast from October 2007 to September 2009. The estimated Length – weight relationships were common for the two sexes (W = 0.0141 × TL2.83), indicating negative allometric growth. The monthly variation in Marginal Increment indicated that growth rings formed once a year, during January. Age readings were very precise, with a percentage agreement of 92.6% between readers and low values of the index of average percent error (1.8%). The back calculated lengths at age estimated from the otoliths showed no differences between males and females. The maximum age of golden mullet in the Gulf of Gabès was 7 years for both males and females. The Von Bertalanffy equation (L∞ = 43.51 cm, growth coefficient K = 0.112 year-1 and age at zero length t0 = –2.211 years) accurately describes the growth of the total length of the Golden grey mullet males, females and combined sex for different life stages.

description: For some years now, leadership and, more recently, e-leadership are topics on which researchers and policy makers have focused on. These concepts had initially been borrowed from other contexts, but over time they have taken on specific meanings in the educational field, also by producing several orientations. This paper, based on more significant models, aims at carrying out an in-depth analysis of the different forms of leadership and educational leadership, together with the skills that are needed to activate a good e-leadership. It proposes some examples of methods and tools that can facilitate the exercise of these skills. Leadership e e-leadership nella scuola. Tra progettazione e competenze digitali Nella scuola da alcuni anni si parla di leadership e più recentemente di e-leadership, concetti inizialmente mutuati da altri contesti, ma che nel tempo hanno assunto significati peculiari in ambito educativo anche declinandosi secondo una pluralità di orientamenti. Il presente contributo, attingendo agli studi più significativi, intende fare il punto sulle diverse forme di leadership e di leadership educativa, nonché sulle competenze necessarie per attivare una buona e-leadership, proponendo alcuni esempi di metodi e strumenti che possono rendere più agevole l’esercizio di tali competenze.

Blood acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase as biomarkers of cholinesterase depression among pesticide handlers
Creators: name: Keifer, Matthew C.

name: Engel, Lawrence S.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Agricultural pesticide handlers are at an elevated risk for overexposure to organophosphate (OP) pesticides, but symptoms can be difficult to recognize, making biomarkers invaluable for diagnosis. Occupational monitoring programs for cholinesterase depression generally rely on measuring activity of either of two common blood cholinesterases which serve as proxy measurements for nervous-system acetylcholinesterase activity: red blood cell acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and plasma butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). These biomarkers, however, may be affected differentially by some OPs and the relationship between them has not been well characterized. We aim to determine the association between blood acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity levels and assess whether they produce comparable classifications of clinical cholinesterase depression among organophosphate pesticide handlers.
