description: Introduction: The aim of this systematic review was to compare the effectiveness of electronic recording with paper-based recording of clinical skills assessments for entry-level health professional students. Methods: A comprehensive database search was undertaken using AMED, CINAHL, CENTRAL, EMBASE, Medline, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science on 12–16 June 2017, and updated 9 April 2018. Studies investigating electronic and paper-based recordings of clinical skills assessments of students in entry-level health professional programs were eligible for inclusion. Two independent researchers completed screening of studies for inclusion, quality assessments, and data extraction, with discrepancies resolved by consensus. Quality assessment was performed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program Diagnostic checklist. Results: From 2264 studies identified, five observational cohort studies were included. Published between 2006 and 2016, included studies investigated electronic and paper examinations of clinical skills assessments of students from medical, dentistry, and physical therapy programs. Electronic assessments were reported to be more time efficient than paper-based assessments with an added advantage of no missing data. Quality and quantity of quantitative and qualitative student feedback increased with electronic assessment compared to paper-based assessments. Conclusions: Electronic assessments were used successfully across a range of health professional programs, take significantly less time to complete and provide higher quality feedback to students. Future studies are needed with more robust psychometric testing and cost-effective analysis to inform the increasing uptake of electronic assessment tools in health professional training.

description: We discuss the application of the deformation quantization approach to perturbative quantum field theory. We show that the various forms of Wick's theorem are a direct consequence of the structure of the star products. We derive the scattering function for a free scalar field in interaction with a spacetime-dependent source. We show that the translation to operator formalism reproduces the known relations which lead to the derivation of the Feynman rules.

description: The printed antenna is one of the best antenna structures, due to its low cost and
 compact design. In this paper, we studied a new approach to improve the effectiveness of
 radiation and performance antennas with the miniaturization of its size. Indeed, we propose
 a miniature rectangular printed antenna with three slots in the form of H and which satisfies
 the multilayer UWB characteristics in terms of bandwidth and reflection coefficient. This
 antenna is for a system for detecting malignancy the microwave imaging. We use some
 techniques of miniaturization and expansion of bandwidth in order to achieve our goal. The
 study was made for the band of UWB frequency range from 3GHz to 10GHz

description: We use a statistical sample of galaxy clusters from a large cosmological $N$-body$+$hydrodynamics simulation to examine the relation between morphology, or shape, of the X-ray emitting intracluster medium (ICM) and the mass accretion history of the galaxy clusters. We find that the mass accretion rate (MAR) of a cluster is correlated with the ellipticity of the ICM. The correlation is largely driven by material accreted in the last $\sim 4.5$~Gyr, indicating a characteristic time-scale for relaxation of cluster gas. Furthermore, we find that the ellipticity of the outer regions ($R\sim R_{\rm 500c}$) of the ICM is correlated with the overall MAR of clusters, while ellipticity of the inner regions ($\lesssim 0.5 R_{\rm 500c}$) is sensitive to recent major mergers with mass ratios of $\geq 1:3$. Finally, we examine the impact of variations in cluster mass accretion history on the X-ray observable-mass scaling relations. We show that there is a {\it continuous\/} anti-correlation between the residuals in the $T_x-M$ relation and cluster MARs, within which merging and relaxed clusters occupy extremes of the distribution rather than form two peaks in a bi-modal distribution, as was often assumed previously. Our results indicate the systematic uncertainties in the X-ray observable-mass relations can be mitigated by using the information encoded in the apparent ICM ellipticity.

 Type species: Hypacrosaurus altispinus (Brown, 1913).
 Amended diagnosis: Lambeosaurine hadrosaurid that has the following autapomorphy: elongate neural spines in the cranial region of the dorsal vertebral column (dorsal vertebrae 6–10) that are greater than five times taller than their respective centra, as pointed out by Lull & Wright (1942): ‘dorsals unique in reduction of centra and in great development of the spinous processes which are high and massive, five to seven times the height of their respective centra’. Hypacrosaurus altispinus shares with H. stebingeri elongation and enlargement of the dorsal vertebra neural spines in the shoulder region.

The generating function of these elliptic genera is shown to be (almost) an automorphic form for O(3,2,Z). In the context of D-brane dynamics, this result gives a precise computation of the free energy of a gas of D-strings inside a higher-dimensional brane.

description: A new generation of manycore processors is on the rise that offers dozens and more cores on a chip and, in a sense, fuses host processor and accelerator. In this paper we target the efficient training of generalized linear models on these machines. We propose a novel approach for achieving parallelism which we call Heterogeneous Tasks on Homogeneous Cores (HTHC). It divides the problem into multiple fundamentally different tasks, which themselves are parallelized. For evaluation, we design a detailed, architecture-cognizant implementation of our scheme on a recent 72-core Knights Landing processor that is adaptive to the cache, memory, and core structure. Our library efficiently supports dense and sparse datasets as well as 4-bit quantized data for further possible gains in performance. We show benchmarks for Lasso and SVM with different data sets against straightforward parallel implementations and prior software. In particular, for Lasso on dense data, we improve the state-of-the-art by an order of magnitude.

description: This working paper is the result of a preliminary analysis of a research project that aims to understand the articulations between local state formation, development and violence. Such articulations are generative of a certain form of governance and of a political subjectivity mainly shaped within the language of neoliberalism. This entails a limited form of state intervention through development projects that leave most of the responsibility to guarantee well-being and even life itself to local inhabitants. As a secondary, and more preliminary line of analysis, I address how within such complex articulations we can understand mechanisms of social inequality (distanciation, exclusion, hierarchization). The specific scenario under study is located in the Colombian Caribbean Coast, where an alternative project on coca eradication was implemented. This project had the stated purpose of forging new relationships between local peasant communities and state institutions and creating new livelihood possibilities.

description: Federated learning (FL) is an appealing paradigm for learning a global model among distributed clients while preserving data privacy. Driven by the demand for high-quality user experiences, evaluating the well-trained global model after the FL process is crucial. In this paper, we propose a closed-loop model analytics framework that allows for effective evaluation of the trained global model using clients' local data. To address the challenges posed by system and data heterogeneities in the FL process, we study a goal-directed client selection problem based on the model analytics framework by selecting a subset of clients for the model training. This problem is formulated as a stochastic multi-armed bandit (SMAB) problem. We first put forth a quick initial upper confidence bound (Quick-Init UCB) algorithm to solve this SMAB problem under the federated analytics (FA) framework. Then, we further propose a belief propagation-based UCB (BP-UCB) algorithm under the democratized analytics (DA) framework. Moreover, we derive two regret upper bounds for the proposed algorithms, which increase logarithmically over the time horizon. The numerical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms achieve nearly optimal performance, with a gap of less than 1.44% and 3.12% under the FA and DA frameworks, respectively.

description: We investigate the "pole-skipping" phenomenon in holographic chaos. According to the pole-skipping, the energy-density Green's function is not unique at a special point in complex momentum plane. This arises because the bulk field equation has two regular near-horizon solutions at the special point. We study the regularity of two solutions more carefully using curvature invariants. In the upper-half $ω$-plane, one solution, which is normally interpreted as the outgoing mode, is in general singular at the future horizon and produces a curvature singularity. However, at the special point, both solutions are indeed regular. Moreover, the incoming mode cannot be uniquely defined at the special point due to these solutions.

description: We study the late time behavior of the boundary state representing the rolling tachyon constructed by Sen. It is found that the coupling of the rolling tachyon to massive modes of the closed string grows exponentially as the system evolves. We argue that the description of rolling tachyon by a boundary state is valid during the finite time determined by string coupling, and that energy could be dissipated to the bulk beyond this time. We also comment on the relation between the rolling tachyon boundary state and the spacelike D-brane boundary state.

description: In recent years the Latin American region has become a stage for the emergence of new indigeneities, that is, the organization of new political subjects based on new typologies of indigenous identities that challenge the narrow constructions of indigeneity that require fixed geographic or cultural-racial characteristics. This paper aims to contribute to this growing research and literature as it presents a case study in which an environmentally dispossessed group has implemented a novel ethnic strategy based on the concepts of “ancestrality” and “peoplehood” in order to demand collective mangrove land titles, and thus, gain more control over their natural resources. In particular, it addresses the reasons explaining why the mangrove gatherers’ grassroots movement in Ecuador has declared itself to be the Pueblos Ancestrales del Ecosistema Manglar (Ancient People of the Mangrove Ecosystem). This paper argues that this ecosystem-based ethnic identity responds to a total lack of recognition and valuing of a cultural way of life with nature (mangroves). This case study highlights how current natural resource depletion is pushing novel deployments of indigeneity by the fact that this legal category entails rights to collective land and at the same time highlights the dangers of exclusion resulting from granting collective land titles exclusively in terms of indigeneity.

description: Introduction: The success of rural longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) programs has contributed to our understanding of selecting and training students for rural practice. Studies have explored the personality traits of students who participate in rural LICs although few have compared them with classmates who have not. The purpose is to compare personalities of four successive cohorts of students in the LIC Rural Physician Associate Program (RPAP) with their non-RPAP classmates. Methods: In a longitudinal cross-sectional design, medical students RPAP and non-RPAP, from 2013 to 2017 completed identical questionnaires comprising measures of personality, perfectionism, ambiguity tolerance, and resilience. T-tests, ANOVA, and post-hoc tests compared groups. K-means cluster analysis identified profiles of traits. Results: Total sample 286; RPAP = 128; non-RPAP = 158. Gender and age proportions were not different between groups. RPAP students were significantly lower in levels of perfectionism and higher in cooperativeness compared to non-RPAP classmates. Similar proportions of both groups were distributed across three personality profiles detected. Conclusions: Lower perfectionism implies advantages for rural practice. Nevertheless, similarities between groups suggest that most students would be successful in rural practice. More encouragement to all students may improve uptake of rural LICs. Greater attention to issues that affect decisions to explore rural medical education, particularly for our next generation of students, is required.

description: Time resolved measurements of Optical Nuclear Polarization (ONP) have been performed on hyperpolarized triplet states in molecular crystals created by light excitation. Transfer of the initial electron polarization to nuclear spins has been studied in the presence of radiofrequency excitation; the experiments have been performed with different pulse sequences using different doped molecular systems. The experimental results clearly demonstrate the dominant role of coherent mechanisms of spin order transfer, which manifest themselves in well pronounced oscillations. These oscillations are of two types, precessions and nutations, having characteristic frequencies, which are the same for the different molecular systems and the pulse sequences applied. Hence, precessions and nutations constitute a general feature of polarization transfer in ONP experiments. In general, coherent manipulation of spin order transfer creates a powerful resource for improving the performance of the ONP method, which paves the way to strong signal enhancement in nuclear magnetic resonance.

The resulting expression gives the value of the normalization integral explicitly in terms of the local power-series solutions about x=0 and x=1 and their derivatives. This provides an extremely efficient alternative to numerical integration for the development of an orthonormal basis using Heun functions, because all of the required information is available as a by-product of the search for the eigenvalues of the differential equation. 02.30.Gp; 02.30.Hq; 02.70.-c; 02.60.Jh

description: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is frequently associated with communicative impairment, regardless of intelligence level or mental age. Impairment of prosodic processing in particular is a common feature of ASD. Despite extensive overlap in neural resources involved in prosody and music processing, music perception seems to be spared in this population. The present study is the first to investigate prosodic phrasing in ASD in both language and music, combining event-related brain potential (ERP) and behavioral methods. We tested phrase boundary processing in language and music in neuro-typical adults and high-functioning individuals with ASD. We targeted an ERP response associated with phrase boundary processing in both language and music – i.e., the Closure Positive Shift (CPS). While a language-CPS was observed in the neuro-typical group, for ASD participants a smaller response failed to reach statistical significance. In music, we found a boundary-onset music-CPS for both groups during pauses between musical phrases. Our results support the view of preserved processing of musical cues in ASD individuals, with a corresponding prosodic impairment. This suggests that, despite the existence of a domain-general processing mechanism (the CPS), key differences in the integration of features of language and music may lead to the prosodic impairment in ASD.

description: Abstract

The gains and losses of any organization is a function of the human resources that pilot the affairs of such organization. The onuses as to how an organization thrives are at their whims and caprices; they constitute the greatest assets of any organization. The supply of labour, technical and professional skills, which are germane for effective and efficient planning and implementation of development policies, programmes, projects and daily activities are their sole responsibility. Very instructively, personnel administration relates to the overall organizations planning process by which the organization tries to ensure that it has the right number of persons and the right kind of people, at the right time and at the right place performing functions, which are economically useful and which satisfy the needs of the organization and provide satisfaction to the individual involved. This study interrogates the challenges of development of local government in Nigeria from the purview of personnel management. The work examines recruitment process into local authority, statutory provisions for training and retraining, staffing, amongst others, as it based its theory on decentralized development as framework of analysis.  It concludes that local government personnel management is frost with nonchalance, poor staffing and challenges of re-entrants of trainees.

description: The destruction of clouds by strong shocks and hot winds is the key process responsible for the transp orting of metals and dust from the ISM to the ICM/IGM, and establishing the multiphase structure in and around galaxies. In this work, we perform a detailed analysis of this process using two different approaches for tracking the cloud material (gas and dust): the so-called 'colored' fluid, and the Lagrangian (trace) particles. We find that for the clouds in the hot phase ($T>10^5$ K), the two methods produce significantly different mass fractions and velocities of the cloud material. In contrast, the two methods produce similar results for the clouds that are in the warm/cold phases ($T < 10^5$ K). We find that the Kelvin--Helmholtz instability is suppressed in the warm clouds of size $\sim$100 pc and metallicity $Z\gt 0.1 Z_\odot$ due to effective gas cooling. This causes a delay in the destruction of such clouds that are interacting with the hot ICM flow. We demonstrate that the dust particles that are evacuated from their 'parent' clouds to the hot medium show different dynamics when compared to that of the Lagrangian (trace) particles. Our results indicate that the dust grains swept out to the hot gas are destroyed.

Methods: A comprehensive database search was undertaken using AMED, CINAHL, CENTRAL, EMBASE, Medline, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science on 12–16 June 2017, and updated 9 April 2018. Studies investigating electronic and paper-based recordings of clinical skills assessments of students in entry-level health professional programs were eligible for inclusion. Two independent researchers completed screening of studies for inclusion, quality assessments, and data extraction, with discrepancies resolved by consensus. Quality assessment was performed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program Diagnostic checklist. Results: From 2264 studies identified, five observational cohort studies were included. Published between 2006 and 2016, included studies investigated electronic and paper examinations of clinical skills assessments of students from medical, dentistry, and physical therapy programs. Electronic assessments were reported to be more time efficient than paper-based assessments with an added advantage of no missing data. Quality and quantity of quantitative and qualitative student feedback increased with electronic assessment compared to paper-based assessments. Conclusions: Electronic assessments were used successfully across a range of health professional programs, take significantly less time to complete and provide higher quality feedback to students. Future studies are needed with more robust psychometric testing and cost-effective analysis to inform the increasing uptake of electronic assessment tools in health professional training.

Chaetodipus siccus

description: CHAETODIPUS SICCUS
 Distribution: The original distribution of C. a. siccus was Cerralvo Island (geographical group 29), which is close to the south-eastern coast of the peninsula. However, specimens of the C. arenarius complex collected in the Los Planes Basin (geographical group 31) are genetically similar to the Cerralvo Island population. Los Planes Basin is surrounded by mountain ranges on three sides and opens to the Gulf of California facing Cerralvo Island, which is 11 km off the coast (Gastil, Minch & Phillips, 1983). The relatively high ridges isolate the population from other species in the C. arenarius complex (C. dalquesti and C. arenarius).
 Diagnosis: Following Osgood (1907), C. siccus is similar to C. arenarius; however, externally it is decidedly larger than C. arenarius, with very weak or rarely present rump bristles. The skull is decidedly larger and heavier; the mastoids are somewhat larger and have broad ascending branches of the supraoccipital ridge.
 Subspecific taxonomy: No genetic or morphological differences were found amongst the specimens from the basin and the island. The evidence does not support the designation of any subspecies as C. siccus.
 Comments: The five specimens from Cerralvo Island have the same haplotype.

description: Microplastics are recognized as an emerging contaminant worldwide. Although microplastics have been shown to strongly affect organisms in aquatic environments, less is known about whether and how microplastics can affect different taxa within a soil community, and it is unclear whether these effects can cascade through soil food webs. By conducting a microplastic manipulation experiment, i.e. adding low-density polyethylene fragments in the field, we found that microplastic addition significantly affected the composition and abundance of microarthropod and nematode communities. Contrary to soil fauna, we found only small effects of microplastics on the biomass and structure of soil microbial communities. Nevertheless, structural equation modelling revealed that the effects of microplastics strongly cascade through the soil food webs, leading to the modification of microbial functioning with further potential consequences on soil carbon and nutrient cycling. Our results highlight that taking into account the effects of microplastics at different trophic levels is important to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the ecological impacts of microplastic pollution on soil functioning.

description: We investigate the leading area-law contribution to entanglement entropy in a system described by a general Lagrangian with O(2) symmetry containing first- and second-order time derivatives, namely breaking the Lorentz-invariance. We establish a connection between the Higgs gap present in a symmetry-broken phase and the area-law term for the entanglement entropy in the general, non-relativistic case. Our predictions for the entanglement entropy and correlation length are successfully compared to numerical results in two paradigmatic systems: the Mott insulator to superfluid transition for ultracold lattice bosons, and the ground state of ferrimagnetic systems.

description: The model which is the generalization of the one-dimensional XY-spin chain for the case of the two-dimensional square lattice is considered. The subspace of the ``string'' states is studied. The solution to the eigenvalue problem is obtained for the single ``string'' in cases of the ``string'' with fixed ends and ``string'' of types (1,1) and (1,2) living on the torus. The latter case has the features of a self-interacting system and looks not to be integrable while the previous two cases are equivalent to the free-fermion model.

Velocity Dispersion and H$α$ emission of Ionized Gas in Star-forming Regions

description: For understanding the nature of gaseous flows in star-forming regions of nearby galaxies it is usually utilized the relation between surface brightness in H$α$ line and velocity dispersion of ionized gas known as ''surface brightness -- velocity dispersion diagram''. Using the three-dimensional gasdynamic simulations we consider the evolution of the synthetic diagrams for supershells driven by multiple supernova explosions in stellar cluster located in the galactic disk. We investigate the shape and structure of the diagrams depending on gaseous density and metallicity, disk scale height values. We show that there are several loci of values typical for young bubbles evolved in dense or rarefied gas at large heights above the disk midplane. We find that the structure of the diagram is depended on age of a supershell and physical conditions of a gas in the disk. We argue that the diagrams obtained for the nearby dwarf galaxies can be interpreted by only using the dynamics of bubbles driven by multiple supernova explosions in low-mass stellar clusters of different age.

description: We present $\sim$0.1" resolution ($\sim$10 pc) ALMA observations of a molecular cloud identified in the merging Antennae galaxies with the potential to form a globular cluster, nicknamed the ``Firecracker.' Since star formation has not yet begun at an appreciable level, this cloud provides an example of what the birth environment of a globular cluster may have looked like before stars form and disrupt the natal conditions. Using emission from $^{12}$CO(2-1), $^{12}$CO(3-2), $^{13}$CO(2-1), HCN(4-3), and HCO$^+$(4-3), we are able to resolve the cloud's structure and find that it has a characteristic radius of 22 pc and a mass of 1--9$\times10^6 M_\odot$. We also constrain the abundance ratios of $^{12}$CO/$^{13}$CO and H$_2$/\twelveCO. Based on the calculated mass, we determine that the commonly used CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor varies spatially, with average values in the range $X_{CO}=(0.12-1.1)\times10^{20}$ cm$^{-2}$ (K km s$^{-1}$)$^{-1}$. We demonstrate that if the cloud is bound (as is circumstantially suggested by its bright, compact morphology), an external pressure of $P/k > 10^8$ K cm$^{-3}$ is required. This would be consistent with theoretical expectations that globular cluster formation requires high pressure environments. The position-velocity diagram of the cloud and its surrounding material suggests that this pressure may be produced by the collision of filaments. The radial profile of the column density can be fit with both a Gaussian and Bonnor-Ebert profile. The relative line strengths of HCN and HCO$^+$ in this region suggest that these molecular lines can be used as tracers for the evolutionary stage of a cluster.

Confronting the "Good" Teacher: Reimagining "Toddler Teacher" Through Feminist Poststructural Teacher Research

description: Discursive power relations that enclose the field of early childhood have functioned to construct the idea of the “normal” child, a process of silencing that limits spaces of “being” for children in classrooms. Relatedly, constructions of the “good” early childhood teacher are shaped by dominant discourses of child development that define “best” and “appropriate” practices in accordance with children’s developmental “needs.” In this study, I take up feminist poststructural theories in self-reflexive examination of my teaching practice with toddlers to allow for alternate ways of seeing the “child,” and therefore, the “teacher.” In laying bare the child and teacher as discursively constructed, complexities of classroom subjects become visible and possibilities for new ways of doing “teacher” emerge when we work to destabilize the hegemonic “truths” of the field. Using feminist poststructural theories to shape a narrative teacher research methodology, this study employs ethnographic and narrative methods in self-reflexive analysis of my own teaching practice. Working with data produced during one semester in the classroom, I interrogate my daily practices and understandings of “toddler,” teaching, learning, development, and research in order to displace dominant ways of understanding “toddler” and “toddler teacher.” The possibilities for teaching toddlers have been constrained by intersecting discourses of development, readiness, neoliberalism, and gender as development and progress are prioritized while the widespread assumption that early childhood is “women’s work” (Grumet, 1988) shapes the roles and statuses of teachers who work with our youngest children. The discoveries and new knowledges I have constructed through this work have exposed, challenged, and reimagined positionings of the teacher. From the gendered “care” work assumed to come naturally to women, to the technical practice based on a foundation of developmental knowledge, to the policing of children in classrooms, this study offers examinations of relations of power that may enable teachers and children to position themselves differently in classrooms, within and beyond existing discourses.
