description: Through ESSA (2015) and IDEIA (2004), all students must participate in statewide assessments and students with disabilities are entitled to receive reasonable adaptations and accommodations in order to ensure that the assessments accurately measure their achievement within the designated academic areas. Research indicates that the provision of an accommodation should be based upon a student’s individual needs; however, studies within this area frequently compare the effects of an accommodation on the performance of students with a disability and students without a disability. Currently, extended time is the most frequently requested and provided accommodation for state assessments across disabilities. This study sought to determine whether there is a relationship between reading rate and the boost from extended time on reading, a relationship between cognitive processing speed and the boost from extended time on reading, and a relationship between reading rate and cognitive processing speed. The Nelson-Denny Reading Test (NDRT) Forms I and J and the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities, 4th Edition (WJ-IV COG) were used to assess 21 students attending a suburban high school in New Jersey. Results indicated there is a relationship between cognitive processing speed and boost from extended time on the Vocabulary subtest (r = -.38) and a relationship between reading rate and performance on the Letter-Pattern Matching test (r = .37). Results indicated there is not a relationship between reading rate or overall cognitive processing speed and boost from extended time on comprehension or general reading ability and there is not a relationship between reading rate and overall cognitive processing speed. Further investigation is needed to determine whether extended time provides a differential boost for students based upon reading fluency or cognitive processing speed.

description: Die Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin entwickeln in ihrem Teilprojekt „Visitor Journeys neu gedacht“ des Verbundprojekts museum4punkt0 innovative digitale Medieneinsätze, die das Museumserlebnis vor, während und nach dem Besuch digital ergänzen. Als Grundlage zur Entwicklung und Erprobung digitaler Vermittlungsformate wurden zu Beginn des Teilprojekts „Visitor Journeys neu gedacht“ in den Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin eine umfassende Besucher*innen-Forschung durchgeführt. Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchung waren die Motivationen der Besucher*innen. Aus den Ergebnissen bildete das Projekt Persona, die dabei helfen zu verstehen, um wen es sich bei den Besucher*innen handelt und mit welchen Wünschen und Bedürfnissen ihr Museumsbesuch verbunden ist – sowohl im Vorfeld als auch danach. Als empirische Grundlagenforschung sammelten die Autor:innen quantitative Daten in sechs Häusern der SMB und führten zudem qualitative Interviews in der Gemäldegalerie durch, da die rein demographisch und sozioökonomisch basierte Datenerhebung erfahrungsgemäß oft nur geringfügig Einblick in die Erwartungen und Erfahrungen der Besucher*innen geben. Daher wurde ein mehrmethodischer Ansatz gewählt. Die Gesamtstudie, die die Durchführung und die Ergebnisse aus der quantitativen und qualitativen Benutzer:innenforschung zusammenfasst, wird ergänzt durch 15 zugehörige Anlagen als vertiefende Dokumentation zur eigenen Nachnutzung: Leitfaden für Tiefeninterview (PDF) Qualitative Auswertung Mental Model: Experience Seekers (PDF) Qualitative Auswertung Mental Model: Explorers (PDF) Qualitative Auswertung Mental Model: Facilitators (PDF) Qualitative Auswertung Mental Model: Professionals/ Hobbyists (PDF) Qualitative Auswertung Mental Model: Rechargers (PDF) Fragebogen zur Verknüpfung von quantitativer und qualitativer Studie (PDF) Persona für die Gemäldegalerie: Experience Seekers (PDF) Persona für die Gemäldegalerie: Explorers (PDF) Persona für die Gemäldegalerie: Facilitators (PDF) Persona für die Gemäldegalerie: Professionals/ Hobbyists (PDF) Persona für die Gemäldegalerie: Rechargers (PDF) Template zur Erstellung von Value Proposition Canvases im Museum (PDF) Plausibilitätscheck der qualitativen Erhebung (PDF)

description: Compensatory mutations have been suggested to promote multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) transmission, but their role in facilitating the recent transmission of MDR-TB is unclear. To investigate the epidemiological significance of compensatory mutations, we analyzed a four-year population-based collection of MDR-TB strains from Shanghai (the most populous city in China) and 1346 published global MDR-TB strains. We report that MDR-TB strains with compensatory mutations in the rpoA, rpoB, or rpoC genes were neither more frequently clustered nor found in larger clusters than those without compensatory mutations. Our results suggest that compensatory mutations are not a major contributor to the current epidemic of MDR-TB.

description: Plasmodium knowlesi occurs throughout Southeast Asia, and is the most common cause of human malaria in Malaysia. Severe disease in humans is characterised by high parasite biomass, reduced red blood cell deformability, endothelial activation and microvascular dysfunction. However, the roles of intravascular haemolysis and nitric oxide (NO)-dependent endothelial dysfunction, important features of severe falciparum malaria, have not been evaluated, nor their role in acute kidney injury (AKI). In hospitalised Malaysian adults with severe (n = 48) and non-severe (n = 154) knowlesi malaria, and in healthy controls (n = 50), we measured cell-free haemoglobin (CFHb) and assessed associations with the endothelial Weibel–Palade body (WPB) constituents, angiopoietin-2 and osteoprotegerin, endothelial and microvascular function, and other markers of disease severity. CFHb was increased in knowlesi malaria in proportion to disease severity, and to a greater extent than previously reported in severe falciparum malaria patients from the same study cohort. In knowlesi malaria, CFHb was associated with parasitaemia, and independently associated with angiopoietin-2 and osteoprotegerin. As with angiopoietin-2, osteoprotegerin was increased in proportion to disease severity, and independently associated with severity markers including creatinine, lactate, interleukin-6, endothelial cell adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and E-selectin, and impaired microvascular reactivity. Osteoprotegerin was also independently associated with NO-dependent endothelial dysfunction. AKI was found in 88% of those with severe knowlesi malaria. Angiopoietin-2 and osteoprotegerin were both independent risk factors for acute kidney injury. Our findings suggest that haemolysis-mediated endothelial activation and release of WPB constituents is likely a key contributor to end-organ dysfunction, including AKI, in severe knowlesi malaria.

description: Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is characterized by endothelial dysfunction with capillary leakage without obvious cytopathology in the capillary endothelium. The aim of the study was to analyze the kinetics of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its soluble receptor (sVEGFR-2) in HFRS patients infected with Dobrava (DOBV) or Puumala virus (PUUV). VEGF and sVEGFR-2 levels were measured in daily plasma and urine samples of 73 patients with HFRS (58 with PUUV, 15 with DOBV) and evaluated in relation to clinical and laboratory variables. In comparison with the healthy controls, initial samples (obtained in the first week of illness) from patients with HFRS had higher plasma and urine VEGF levels, whereas sVEGFR-2 levels were lower in plasma but higher in urine. VEGF levels did not differ in relation to hantavirus species, viral load, or the severity of HFRS. The comparison of VEGF dynamics in plasma and urine showed the pronounced secretion of VEGF in urine. Significant correlations were found between daily VEGF/sVEGFR-2 levels and platelet counts, as well as with diuresis: the correlations were positive for plasma VEGF/sVEGFR-2 levels and negative for urine levels. In addition, patients with hemorrhagic manifestations had very high plasma and urine VEGF, together with high urine sVEGFR-2. Measuring the local secretion of sVEGFR-2 in urine might be a useful biomarker for identifying HFRS patients who will progress to severe disease.

description: Excerpt from report summary: The number of farm-accident fatalities is not declining in proportion to the decline in farm population, partly because of the increasing average age of people on farms. The annual mortality from farm accidents is estimated at from 60 to 70 per 100,000 of farm population. Nonfatal injuries, including both lost-time and no lost-time accidents, occur to about a third of the farm population annually. The lost-time injuries involve about 19 percent of the farm population; while the more serious nonfatal accidents, those resulting in permanent disabilities, destroy or reduce the earning power of about 3 percent of the farm population annually.

"Mommy I'm scared": children experiencing symptoms of trauma following a traumatic incident and hospitalization.
Creators: name: Anismatta, Stephanie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: For years, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Acute Stress Disorder (ASD), and other diagnoses after experiencing a traumatic event(s), has been researched to find probable causes and possible interventions. However, medical settings have been overlooked as a place where early identification of at-risk patients can be reached. Identifying appropriate interventions in hospital settings for children and adolescents who are experiencing symptoms of trauma following traumatic experiences is necessary in order to provide comprehensive services to patients. These traumatic experiences, or adverse childhood experiences, may include car accidents, loss of a loved one, emergency surgeries, natural disasters, and non-accidental trauma such as physical or sexual abuse. Therefore, this research aimed to better explore the connection between psychological and physical trauma and the overall importance of proving psychological care to primary care patients. The current retrospective study examined an existing data set of 30 patients, ages eight to fourteen, and a respective caregiver in a children’s hospital located in an urban city. This study examined the association between parent and child reported predictors of PTSD using the STEPP (Screening Tool for Early Predictors of PTSD). This study also examined the association between STEPP scores and injury severity, as well as the child’s age and gender. This prospective observational study used a Spearman Rho correlation analysis, which revealed no significant relationship between child and parent STEPP scores. Results also revealed no significant relationship between STEPP scores and Injury Severity Score (ISS). Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

Exploring language attitudes in a German-English bilingual school in Australia - a case study with a mixed methods approach
Creators: name: Mutlow, Nicole
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis explores language attitudes in a German-English bilingual school in Australia. Bayswater South Primary School has been selected for this case study, which investigates language attitudes as a reciprocal societal and an individual phenomenon through a survey of students’, teachers’ and parents’ language attitudes within and outside of their school environment. The insights gained from a mixed methods approach to qualitative and quantitative data are used to evaluate participants’ responses within the school’s strategies and policies to support language teaching and learning, as well as an environment that enhances positive attitudes towards the German language. The thesis also explores how these insights could inform the broader context of ‘foreign’ language education in Australia, including against the background of what has been referred to as Australia’s “monolingual mindset”. This study’s findings indicate that the school’s strategies for promoting and fostering affective aspects of language education and instilling an awareness of the benefits of bilingual education are pivotal for creating the survey participants’ positive language attitudes or rectifying negative ones. Equally important for the same purpose are the school’s strategies of encouraging and cultivating community involvement and engendering recurring attitudinal investigations to support a continuous cycle of trial, evaluation, adjustment and refinement. These strategies support the cycle of positive reinforcement between the participants’ favourable language attitudes and the school’s positive bilingual learning environment. The insights gained from my study can ultimately inform decision-making processes about language policy and practice in other Australian schools. Bayswater South Primary School can function as a role model for schools, which would like to implement a bilingual program or existing bilingual schools that seek guidance for high quality bilingual education.

description: Zika virus (ZIKV) infection remains a serious health threat due to its close association with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS), which includes microcephaly and other severe birth defects. As no vaccines are available for human use, continuous effort is needed to develop effective and safe vaccines to prevent ZIKV infection. In this study, we constructed three recombinant proteins comprising, respectively, residues 296–406 (E296-406), 298–409 (E298-409), and 301–404 (E301-404) of ZIKV envelope (E) protein domain III (EDIII) fused with a C-terminal Fc of human IgG. Our results demonstrated that E298-409 induced the highest titer of neutralizing antibodies against infection with nine ZIKV strains isolated from different hosts, countries, and time periods, and it maintained long-term anti-ZIKV immunogenicity to induce neutralizing antibodies. Pups born to mice immunized with E298-409 were fully protected against lethal challenge with two epidemic human ZIKV strains, 2015/Honduras (R103451) and 2015/Colombia (FLR). Passive transfer of anti-E298-409 mouse sera protected pups born to naive mice, as well as type I interferon receptor-deficient adult A129 mice, from lethal challenge with human ZIKV strains R103451 and FLR, and this protection was positively correlated with neutralizing antibodies. These data suggest that the critical neutralizing fragment (i.e., a fragment that can induce highly potent neutralizing antibodies against divergent ZIKV strains) of ZIKV EDIII is a good candidate for development as an effective and safe ZIKV subunit vaccine to protect pregnant mothers and their fetuses against ZIKV infection. The E298-409-specific antibodies can be used for passive immunization to prevent ZIKV infection in newborns or immunocompromised adults.

description: Excerpt from the report summary: The supply of personnel in health occupations is lower on a per capita basis in rural areas than in urban areas--in 1962 there were 53.9 percent more physicians per 100,000 persons in urban areas than in rural. This may be a reflection of population sparsity or the concentration of lower incomes, both of which would contribute to the lack of support for specialized medical personnel and facilities in rural areas. Though modern transportation has lessened the need for complete local medical services and facilities, persons living in extremely rural areas still do not have the ease of access to specialized and comprehensive medical care that those living in or near metropolitan areas have. This is partly the result of a trend since about 1950 toward specialization in medical practice. In 1950, 36 percent of the physicians were in private practice compared with 61 percent in 1963. Most of these practiced in urban areas.

description: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane structures enclosed by a lipid bilayer that are released into the extracellular space by all types of cells. EVs are involved in many physiological processes by transporting biologically active substances. Interest in EVs for diagnostic biomarker research and therapeutic drug delivery applications has increased in recent years. The realization of the full therapeutic potential of EVs is currently hampered by the lack of a suitable technology for the isolation and purification of EVs for downstream pharmaceutical applications. Anion Exchange Chromatography (AEX) is an established method in which specific charges on the AEX matrix can exploit charges on the surface of EVs and their interactions to provide a productive and scalable separation and purification method. The established AEX method using Eshmuno® Q, a strong tentacle anion exchange resin, was used to demonstrate the principal feasibility of AEX-based isolation and gain insight into isolated EV properties. Using several EV analysis techniques to provide a more detailed insight into EV populations during AEX isolation, we demonstrated that although the composition of CD9/63/81 remained constant for tetraspanin positive EVs, the size distribution and purity changed during elution. Higher salt concentrations eluted larger tetraspanin negative vesicles.

Dorsal: Forewing: ground color brown with apical quarter black, two tiny orange subapical dots in spaces 6 and 7; a very broad, oblique, evenly curved, orange band crossing from the middle of costa to tornus; cilia black, checkered with white. Hindwing: uniformly brown with pure white cilia. Ventral: Forewing: ground color greyish brown; two whitish subapical spots in spaces 6 and 7, followed by a black eyespot in space 5; discal band as on dorsal side but much paler and wider; discal area inside the discal band reddish brown; Hindwing: color and wing pattern similar to typical form of Chonala; densely covered with greyish white scales, crossed by reddish brown subbasal and discal lines; postdiscal series of eyespots well-developed, eyespot in space 6 larger.
Male genitalia (Fig. 9): tegumen smooth and flat; uncus long and slender, weakly bent downwards; gnathos straight with its tip pointed; saccus simple tubiform; valva with its basal half broad and proximal half narrow and tip bent inwards nearly as right angle and spinous; aedeagus weakly bent upwards, and with its surface smooth.
Female. Unknown.
Diagnosis. The new species can be easily distinguished from its congener species by the combination of the following characters: a) On the dorsal forewing, the discal band is very broad (e.g. in space 2: 8.2–9.0 mm in width, in space 4: 6.5–8.0 mm in width) and continuous, whereas it is much less broad in all the other Chonala species except for C. masoni (Figs. 7, 8). b) On the dorsal forewing, the discal band is orange, whereas it is white in C. masoni. c) On the dorsal forewing, the discal band is evenly curved whereas it is irregular and sinuous in C. yunnana (Figs. 5, 6) and C. praeusta burmana (Figs. 3, 4, 10, 11). d) On the dorsal hindwing, the postdiscal eyespots are absent, whereas they are present in C. irene, C. laurae and C. miyatai.
Etymology. The specific name huertasae is named after Mrs. Blanca Huertas from the Natural History Museum, UK.
Distribution. China (NW Yunnan).

description: Zika virus (ZIKV) infection remains a serious health threat due to its close association with congenital Zika syndrome (CZS), which includes microcephaly and other severe birth defects. As no vaccines are available for human use, continuous effort is needed to develop effective and safe vaccines to prevent ZIKV infection. In this study, we constructed three recombinant proteins comprising, respectively, residues 296–406 (E296-406), 298–409 (E298-409), and 301–404 (E301-404) of ZIKV envelope (E) protein domain III (EDIII) fused with a C-terminal Fc of human IgG. Our results demonstrated that E298-409 induced the highest titer of neutralizing antibodies against infection with nine ZIKV strains isolated from different hosts, countries, and time periods, and it maintained long-term anti-ZIKV immunogenicity to induce neutralizing antibodies. Pups born to mice immunized with E298-409 were fully protected against lethal challenge with two epidemic human ZIKV strains, 2015/Honduras (R103451) and 2015/Colombia (FLR). Passive transfer of anti-E298-409 mouse sera protected pups born to naive mice, as well as type I interferon receptor-deficient adult A129 mice, from lethal challenge with human ZIKV strains R103451 and FLR, and this protection was positively correlated with neutralizing antibodies. These data suggest that the critical neutralizing fragment (i.e., a fragment that can induce highly potent neutralizing antibodies against divergent ZIKV strains) of ZIKV EDIII is a good candidate for development as an effective and safe ZIKV subunit vaccine to protect pregnant mothers and their fetuses against ZIKV infection. The E298-409-specific antibodies can be used for passive immunization to prevent ZIKV infection in newborns or immunocompromised adults.

description: Adults are excellent learners. Yet, a notable exception to this excellence is adult language acquisition. Despite the growing importance of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) to communicate in our globalized society, the factors that influence second language learning are not well understood. Prior work has shown that SLA is strongly influenced by age of acquisition (defined as the age at which one starts learning a language) and by frequency of language use or language experience; however, the role of each factor and their interaction is not well established in the literature. The difficulties in determining the specific contributions of each factor has been particularly true for language comprehension, as comprehension is established through a combination of language-specific structures and some general cognitive functions, such as attention and memory. Neural methods allow for a level of granularity into the effects of these factors via measurements taken throughout the time course of language comprehension. Thus, in this work, I undertake a structured, critical review of the literature on neural studies of language comprehension to understand the specific contribution of each factor in the processing of speech sounds, word meanings, and phrase structure. The results of this review suggest that experience in a language is the dominant factor that affects language comprehension, while onset of acquisition one’s final level of second language comprehension is determined primarily by one’s experience with a language, while onset of acquisition has a greater effect on speech production. Furthermore, I utilize the finding that experience-driven learning without explicit instruction on the rules of a specific language dictated better comprehension in the context of second-language education, suggesting a change in techniques of language education to maximize one’s ability to learn a language in scholastic environments.

description: A spectrograph operating in the wavelength range of 120nm to 200nm is installed. Two different light detectors for the spectrograph are characterized, the first one using a Charged-Coupled Device as image sensor, and the second one using a combination of Micro-Channel Plate, phosphor screen and Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor image sensor. Spectra of an excimer lamp are obtained and used for calibration, leading to a wavelength density on the focal plane of 0:0032nm per mm. Spectra of a deuterium arc lamp are also taken. Different control and data analysis tools are developed and tested, and different supply voltages of the Micro-Channel Plate and phosphor screen are measured in both signal and dark situations, and the signal-to-noise ratio compared.Furthermore, three attempts at creating a compact low-intensity, high-precision calibration source for vacuum-ultraviolet light are performed, resulting in the measurement of a Xenon excimer spectrum generated by an alpha source.Additionally, two new features for a transmission measurement setup operating in the Vacuum Ultraviolet wavelength range are developed, enhancing repeatability and measurement speed.
