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

description: There are seven major chapters in A Choice of Futures: (1) Tomorrow: Future-Forecasts, (2) A Sense of Direction, (3) Structure, (4) Process, (5) Planning, (6) Resources, and (7) Next Steps. In the study of this Report, it is difficult to discover adequate relationships of the various parts to one another even as it is difficult to discover concrete research evidence for forecasts, estimates and projections. However, the forecasts on future expenditures are obviously meant to relate to the forecasts in earlier chapters dealing with aspects of the future and in particular, the population and enrolment forecasts. These forecasts were largely derived from a compilation of data synthesized earlier by Seastone. In the preface of his study, Seastone writes: "Thus, the study should be regarded as a compilation of available data and analyses, and extensions of these data where necessary, according to a set of assumptions and analyses that reflect my judgment about probable future patterns of behaviour"

description: Restoration of degraded areas is now a central tool in humanity's response to continued species-loss. However, restoration projects often report exceedingly slow or failed recolonization of fauna, especially dispersal-constrained groups such as invertebrates. Active interventions via reintroducing or “rewilding” invertebrates may assist recolonization and speed up restoration of communities toward a desired target. However, invertebrate rewilding is rarely implemented during ecological restoration. Here, we studied the efficacy of invertebrate rewilding as a means of reintroducing dispersal-constrained species and improving diversity and compositional similarities to remnant communities during restoration. Rewilding was conducted by transplanting leaf litter and soil, including associated communities of invertebrates from species rich remnant sites into species poor, and geographically isolated, revegetated farmland sites. We sampled pre- and post-rewilding invertebrate communities in remnant, rewilded revegetation, and control revegetation sites. We analyzed morphospecies richness, abundance, community composition, and modeled morphospecies traits (dispersal method/trophic guild) using a Hierarchical Modelling of Species Communities approach to determine which biological properties facilitated establishment. Beetle (Coleoptera) morphospecies richness increased rapidly in rewilded sites and was indistinguishable from remnant communities as early as 7 months post-rewilding. Beetle community similarity in the rewilding sites significantly deviated from the control sites 27 months post-rewilding, however remnant communities remained distinct over the study timeframe. Establishment success varied as other taxa did not respond as consistently as beetles within the study timeframe. Furthermore, there were no discernible shifts in dispersal traits in rewilded sites. However, predatory morphospecies were more likely to establish post-rewilding than other trophic groups. Our results demonstrate that the relatively simple act of transplanting leaf litter can result in comparatively large increases in morphospecies richness during restoration in a short timeframe. We advocate methodologies such as ours should be adopted more frequently to address failed community restoration as they are cost-effective and can be easily applied by practitioners in various restoration settings. However, further efficacy tests (e.g., varying the number of rewilding events) and longer study timeframes are needed to ensure effectiveness for a broader range of invertebrate taxa and ecosystems.

description: In labelling his massive report, A Choice of Futures, Dr. Worth expresses his faith that education can be the decisive instrument of social policy. He believes that by instituting the appropriate educational programs Alberta can move towards one kind of future rather than another. This faith in education leads Dr. Worth to attempt to establish the right basis for educational planning, and the first portion of his report is an exercise in social analysis and moral philosophy in which he sets out the goals to be achieved through appropriate education. He then undertakes to explain the educational provisions necessary to achieve the goals.

description: Introduction: Population health initiatives rely on the availability and skills of an appropriate workforce to meet required goals. One global workforce initiative with demonstrated ability to expand health care services and improve access to care is the development of Advanced Nursing Practice and Advanced Practice Nursing roles. Given the sparse published information about these roles in Low and Lower-Middle-Income countries, this study seeks to describe their development and application in these countries. Design: The researchers developed a descriptive cross-sectional multilingual survey for online distribution to nursing experts within the targeted countries. Survey questions addressed demographic information on the population served, Advanced Nursing Practice and Advanced Practice Nursing titles, the time frame and rationale for creating the title, and how the roles relate to the International Council of Nurses' Advanced Practice Nursing guidelines characteristics of education, practice, and regulation. Results: Of the 167 responses received, only 24 participants met the inclusion criteria. This represented five low-income countries and nineteen lower-middle-income countries from four World Bank regions. Seventy-one roles were identified. Roles emerged predominantly over the last 20 years, focusing on care for underserved populations, with an almost even spread across primary and acute care settings. There were differences in education, practice, and regulation amongst the roles. Roles that required a master's education or higher with practice-related characteristics had a broader scope of practice, which is consistent with international guidelines. Conclusion: This paper describes how Advanced Nursing Practice and Advanced Practice Nursing roles from Low and Lower Middle-Income Countries have been implemented to address gaps in service and highlights disparities in education, practice and regulation compared to international guidelines. Maintaining and increasing support from organizations and universities internationally may be required to assist in developing and expanding educational programs for advanced nursing roles in these countries. Clinical Relevance: Understanding how these advanced nursing roles are operationalized in relation to education, practice, and regulation in Low and Lower-Middle-Income countries can provide baseline information that will inform workforce development policies to address healthcare needs in similar jurisdictions.

Year: 2018

description: Risk is described, not as a negative attribute of children's playground activity, but more positively, as challenge and adventure to which children can actively respond. Risk refers to something that is being accomplished by children, some intended activity which expands their sense of the world. Such a positive sense of risk is developed by showing that the riskiness of the playground is a reflection of our concerns for the safety of children and their proper supervision. I describe, in particular, how we might observe children closely and how we might take responsibility for the risky situations in which children find themselves. In so doing, I present a way of understanding how we can bring an underlying sense of security to children's feelings for the playground and for the risks that can be taken there.

description: This study examined whether positive development (PD) in adolescence and young adulthood predicts offspring behavior in two Australasian intergenerational cohorts. The Australian Temperament Project Generation 3 Study assessed PD at age 19–28 (years 2002–2010) and behavior in 1165 infants (12–18 months; 608 girls) of 694 Australian-born parents (age 29–35; 2012–2019; 399 mothers). The Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Parenting Study assessed PD at age 15–18 (years 1987–1991) and behavior in 695 preschoolers (3–5 years; 349 girls) and their New Zealand born parents (age 21–46; 1994–2018; 363 mothers; 89% European ethnicity). In both cohorts, PD before parenthood predicted more positive offspring behavior (βrange =.11–.16) and fewer behavior problems (βrange = −.09 to −.11). Promoting strengths may secure a healthy start to life.

description: Background: An ever-increasing proportion of tropical ecosystems are affected by on-going land-use changes, stressing the importance of understanding how organisms cope with biotic and abiotic challenges outside their natural habitat. An important group in the tropics are vascular epiphytes, whose response to human disturbance is poorly understood. Aims: Creating a baseline data set of epiphyte diversity in human settlements and assessing differences with assemblages of less disturbed habitats. Methods: We surveyed the vascular epiphyte assemblages in 25 settlements of south-west Panama along a rainfall gradient. We tested how epiphyte assemblages were affected by human disturbance and climate by comparing our data to that of pastures and forest. Results: Almost half (238 of 499) of all studied trees hosted at least one epiphyte. Altogether, 10,700 epiphytes of 56 species were found. Rainfall strongly affected both composition and diversity of epiphyte assemblages, whereas geographic proximity did not. In settlements, the species pool was considerably smaller than in pastures and undisturbed forest; however, settlements’ diversity was only significantly lower compared to pastures. Conclusions: Epiphyte assemblages in settlements had a diminished species pool but diversity per tree was comparable to less disturbed habitats. Unsurprisingly, rainfall seems to be the main determinant of epiphyte diversity in rural settlements.
Adult Education as Socialization: Implications for Personal and Social Change
Creators: name: Minnis, John R.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: The process of education, including many forms of adult education, inevitably involves the adoption and possibly the transmission of certain explicit or implicit values. Efforts to distance adult education from youth education, in theory and in practice, have meant that important concepts from socialization theory and curriculum theory have been largely ignored by adult educators. In this paper, this gap is bridged through a synthesis of the ideas of Brim, Berger and Luckmann, and Bourdieu. As well, the utility of these ideas is discussed with regard to an issue of supreme importance to adult educators: the relationship between adult education and social change.

Year: 2018

description: Peer review is an established and perhaps essential part of the pubIishing process. ln this study , 1214 review comments by 216 reviewers were analyzed to determine the nature of the reviews and to get a sense of the reviewers by developing profiles based on the nature of the comments. The reviews were categorized according to tone (complimentary, constructive, or negative); direction (specific suggestions for change versus statements of criticism); and focus (the particular aspect of the manuscript which the reviewer selected for comment). In general, the topic/content and methodology were most likely to be selected for comment, which was usually negative. Whereas authors of accepted manuscripts were often given specific suggestions for change, there was little encouragement for the authors of rejected manuscripts. Four reviewer profiles were delineated: critic, conciliator, competitor, and procrastinator. As might be expected, the reviewer profiles were interrelated with the nature of the reviewer comments. Implications for authors, editors, and reviewers are suggested.

description: Death camas (Zigadenus spp) is a perennial forb found throughout the western United States, which is known to kill both sheep and cattle. In a previous study, goats appeared to be somewhat resistant to the adverse effects of death camas. Therefore, the objective of this study was to directly compare the susceptibility of goats and sheep to the acute toxic effects of death camas. Sheep and goats were dosed at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 6.0 g death camas per kg BW. The data presented in this manuscript suggest that goats are more susceptible to death camas than sheep. There were no differences in the serum concentrations of zygadenine in sheep versus goats. There was a difference between goats and sheep in the severity of observed clinical signs of poisoning. This is highlighted by the fact that five goats from the two highest doses died, whereas none of the sheep died. Consequently, when grazing goats in death camas infested pastures as much caution, if not more, should be taken than one would with sheep. Additionally, the data presented in the study suggests that goats can be used as a small ruminant model to study the toxic effects of death camas.

Vocation as Personal Calling: A Question for Education
Creators: name: Rehm, Marsha
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: In this paper, it is proposed that historically positive meanings regarding the concept of a vocation be given serious consideration in the practical role of vocational education. The history of vocation as a spiritual calling to manifest personal gifts and to contribute to the common good is discussed. Modern interpretations concerning the spiritual quest for meaning in work both for the self and in relation to others are provided. The benefits of a vocation are briefly described and contrasted with difficulties in actualizing a sense of vocation under current conditions of work and society. Finally, in view of the analysis of the idea of vocation, suggestions for the future of vocational education are provided.

description: Purpose: A lack of published epidemiological data among police recruits presents a major challenge when designing appropriate prevention programs to reduce injury burden. We aimed to report the injury epidemiology of Western Australian (WA) Police Force recruits and examine sex and age as injury risk factors. Methods: Retrospective analyses were conducted of prospectively collected injury data from WA Police Force recruits between 2018–2021. Injury was defined as ‘time-loss’ and injury incidence rate per 1000 training days (Poisson exact 95% confidence intervals) was calculated. For each region and type of injury, the incidence, severity, and burden were calculated. The association between age, sex, and injury occurrence were assessed using Cox regression time-to-event analysis. Results: A total of 1316 WA Police Force recruits were included, of whom 264 recruits sustained 304 injuries. Injury prevalence was 20.1% and the incidence rate was 2.00 (95%CI 1.78–2.24) injuries per 1000 training days. Lower limb injuries accounted for most of the injury burden. Ligament/ joint injuries had the highest injury tissue/pathology burden. The most common activity injuring recruits was physical training (31.8% of all injuries). Older age (Hazard Ratio = 1.5, 95%CI = 1.2 to 1.9, p = 0.002) and female sex (Hazard Ratio = 1.4, 95%CI = 1.3 to 1.6, p < 0.001) increased risk of injury. Conclusion: Prevention programs targeting muscle/tendon and ligament/joint injuries to the lower limb and shoulder should be prioritised to reduce the WA Police Force injury burden. Injury prevention programs should also prioritise recruits who are over 30 years of age or of female sex, given they are a higher risk population.

description: Two cinnamyl-substituted phloroglucinols, 4-p-methoxycinnamyl phloroglucinol (9) and 4,6-bis-p-methoxycinnamyl phloroglucinol (10) were synthesized. Two carbonic anhydrases, human carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCA I and II), were purified. Kinetic interactions between these isozymes with 9 and 10 were investigated. These new compounds exhibited inhibitory effects on the hCA I and II enzymes’ activity in vitro. The combination of the inhibitory effects of both phloroglucinol and p-coumaric acid groups in a single compound was explored. However, relative to the inhibitory effects of the two groups separately, compounds 9 and 10 demonstrated comparable inhibitory effects. More effective inhibitors of CAs could be created by testing these compounds on other CA isozymes.

description: Recent discussions of nationalism and education in Canada have over-looked the fact that Canadian schools have never addressed themselves to the task of bolstering Canadian nationalism. The f ollowing factors have contributed to this situation : political aims of nineteenth century public school advocates; the British North America Act; continued dependence on British ideals; presence of the United States; and the French English division within the country. The future role of Canadian schools in the development of a national identity raises both practical and moral problems.

description: Existing ways of gathering information required to manage Canadian postsecondary educational institutions and systems are not adequate. A carefully planned national information system for higher education is needed to provide decision-makers and policy formulators in institutions and in provincial authorities with management information. The proposed system will require up to five years to implement, but it will not be expensive in comparison to huge present and projected expenditures that it could make more effective. The proposed national system is described by the information it would provide, an illustration of the type of data collected, and the steps necessary for its design, development, implementation, and maintenance.

description: 1. Plasma concentrations of curcumin-O-glucuronide (COG) and curcumin-O-sulfate (COS) significantly increased after Sprague-Dawley rats dealt with the Oatp inhibitor rifampicin, with the Cmax ascending 2.9 and 6.7 times, and the AUC0–∞ ascending 4.4 and 10.8 times, respectively. When pretreated with the Oat inhibitor probenecid, the Cmax increased 4.4 and 20 times, and the AUC0–∞ increased 3.2 and 13.9 times, respectively. The results suggested that COG and COS may be the substrates of Oatp and Oat. 2. The accumulation of curcumin significantly increased in organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP)- and organic anion transporter (OAT)-transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 systems, which suggested that curcumin was a substrate of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP2B1, OAT1, and OAT3; and COG was a substrate of OATP1B1, OATP1B3, and OAT3. 3. Inhibition study using rosuvastatin as the substrate in OATP1B1- and OATP1B3-transfected cells indicated that curcumin was an OATP1B1 and 1B3 inhibitor, with IC50 at 5.19 ± 0.05 and 3.68 ± 0.05 μM, respectively; the data for COG were 1.04 ± 0.01 and 1.08 ± 0.02 μM, respectively. COS was speculated to be an inhibitor of hepatic OATP1B1 as calculated using the ADMET Predictor. 4. COG and COS are substrates and inhibitors of OATP/Oatp. Co-administration of curcumin significantly increased rosuvastatin concentration in rat and dog plasma.

description: Introduction: Residents of rural areas internationally typically experience chronic disease risk profiles worse than city dwellers. Poor diet, a key driver of chronic disease, has been associated with unhealthy food environments, and rural areas often experience limited access to healthy, fresh and affordable food. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the first three years of a health promoting social enterprise café established in a small rural health service. Design: A mixed-methods evaluation study. Quantitative sales data, surveys and key informant interviews that included both quantitative and qualitative responses. Findings: Three years of sales data were included; 111customer surveys and five key informant interviews were conducted. Food and beverages on displayed and sold consistently met or exceeded the healthy criteria set by policy. Stakeholders supported the traffic light system, the social enterprise model and rated the likelihood of sustainability of the café as high. Discussion: Customers used the ‘traffic light’ system to inform food choices, placed value on the warmth of the staff and on the welcoming environment created through the social enterprise model. Resources remain tight although all stakeholders are committed to the sustainability of the YarriYak café. Conclusion: The study shows the acceptability, feasibility and sustainability of a health promoting social enterprise café in a rural area.
American English Flapping: Perceptual and Acoustic Evidence Against Paradigm Uniformity with Phonetic Features
Creators: name: Riehl, Anastasia K.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2003

description: This study investigates the claim that flapping patterns in American English are subject to phonetic paradigm uniformity constraints based on the phonetic feature [extra short closure], as proposed in Steriade (2000). The results of this study reveal that speakers do not maintain uniform paradigms with regard to flapping and that [extra short closure] is not an invariant acoustic cue for flap identification and therefore a questionable candidate for a phonetic uniformity constraint in the first place. American English flapping patterns therefore do not support a collapse of the phonetic and phonological components of grammar, as argued in Steriade (2000).

description: A facile and free surfactant strategy is explored to synthesize Cu–Pt bimetallic nano-heterostructures with dendritic exterior. For comparison, the Cu–Pt coral-like nanoparticles are fabricated by using CTAC as a surfactant. The well-designed Cu–Pt dendritic spherical heterostructures exhibit superior enhanced electrocatalytic activity and stability toward methanol oxidation reaction in alkaline media, compared to the Cu–Pt coral-like nanoparticles and the commercial Pt/C, respectively. The advanced technique for fabricating Cu–Pt dendritic spherical heterostructures could pave a way to pursue low-cost Pt-based catalysts, maintaining highly promoted electrocatalytic performance and durability. IMPACT STATEMENT The well-designed Cu–Pt dendritic spherical heterostructures are synthesized without any surfactant, which demonstrate highly promoted electrocatalytic performance and durability toward methanol oxidation reaction.

description: Purpose: Chronic use of the oral contraceptive pill (OCP) is reported to increase C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in premenopausal females.Methods: A secondary analysis of data from two research studies in eumenorrheic (n = 8) and OCP (n = 8) female athletes. Basal CRP and iron parameters were included in the analysis. Sample collection occurred following a standardized exercise and nutritional control for 24 h. Eumenorrheic females were tested in the early-follicular and mid-luteal phases, and the OCP users were tested in quasi-follicular and quasi-luteal phases (both active pill periods).Results: A main effect for group (p < 0.01) indicated that average CRP concentration was higher in OCP users compared with eumenorrheic females, regardless of the day of measurement within the cycle. Results demonstrate a degree of iron parameters moderation throughout the menstrual cycle that is influenced by basal CRP levels; however, no linear relationship with CRP, serum iron, and ferritin was observed.Conclusions: Basal CRP values were consistently higher in the OCP group despite participants being in a rested state. These results may indicate a potential risk of cardiovascular disease in prolonged users of the OCP when compared to eumenorrheic female athletes.

description: Cochleates have been of increasing interest in pharmaceutical research due to their extraordinary stability. However the existing techniques used in the production of cochleates still need significant improvements to achieve sufficiently monodispersed formulations. In this study, we report a simple method for the production of spherical composite microparticles (3–5 μm in diameter) made up of nanocochleates from phosphatidylserine and calcium (as binding agent). Formulations obtained from the proposed method were evaluated using electron microscopy and small angle X-ray scattering and were compared with conventional cochleate preparation techniques. In this new method, an ethanolic lipid solution and aqueous solution of a binding agent is subjected to rapid and uniform mixing with a microfluidic device. The presence of high concentration of organic solvent promotes the formation of composite microparticles made of nanocochleates. This simple methodology eliminates elaborate preparation methods, while providing a monodisperse cochleate system with analogous quality.
Guttural Vowels and Guttural Coarticulation in Ju|'hoansi
Creators: name: Miller-Ockhuizen, Amanda
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2002

description: Ju|’hoansi contains parallel glottalization, breathiness and epiglottalization on consonants and vowels, as well as uvularization on consonants. There are voice quality cues associated with epiglottalized vowels that parallel those found with breathy and glottalized vowels. There is also guttural coarticulation, whereby aspirated, glottalized, uvularized and epiglottalized consonants spread acoustic voice quality cues onto a following vowel. The laryngeal coarticulation exhibited by click consonants is shown to be largely analogous to coarticulation found with pulmonic consonants. Two levels of acoustic similarity involving gutturals are identified. Low HNR in the C-V transition unites all gutturals, and low spectral slope differentiates glottals and epiglottals from aspirates and uvularized sounds that are associated with high spectral slopes. The two natural classes identified by these cues are shown to be targeted in perceptuallymotivated sound patterns. In addition to the four-way phonation type contrast on vowels, there are also diphthongs in breathiness and epiglottalization, leading to a three-way timing contrast in roots. Sufficient temporal separation of voice quality cues is not achieved between roots containing similar guttural consonants and guttural vowels. Phonotactic patterns assure that similar consonants and vowels do not co-occur within a single root, allowing Voice Onset Time to assure sufficient discriminability of roots containing guttural consonants and roots containing guttural vowels. This suggests that sound inventories can not be evaluated for discriminability in isolation of existing co-occurrence patterns.

description: Mantle convection is a fundamental driving force for the tectonic activity of our planet. It is commonly perceived that mantle convection is difficult to constrain directly. Its processes, however, affect the surface of the Earth and leave an imprint in the geological record. One response to topographic changes driven by mantle convection is the development of unconformities in the geological record (i.e. the absence of a stratigraphic layer), due to non-deposition or erosion. Modern geological maps allow systematic mapping of such unconformable surfaces at the continental scale. Here we report our recently published work on the extraction of conformable and unconformable contacts (continent-scale hiatus mapping) in geological series across America, Europe, Africa, and Australia, from the Upper Jurassic onward. We find significant differences in the spatial extend of hiatus patterns across and between continents at geological series, ten to a few tens of Million years (Myrs). This is smaller than the mantle transit time, which, as the timescale of convection, is about 100–200 Myrs, implying that different timescales for convection and topography in convective support must be an integral component of time-dependent geodynamic Earth models. For the Cenozoic sedimentary cover of Europe the maps show a large hiatal surface of the Paleocene. This surface precedes the arrival of the Iceland plume and the change in motion of the North Atlantic ridge in the early Eocene. Our results call for intensified collaboration between geodynamicists and geologists to improve our understanding of interregional-scale geologic events.

description: Objective: To explore and describe strategies to enhance the implementation of an organisational clinical supervision framework and subsequently inform the development of a model of implementation of clinical supervision for allied health professionals in a regional health care setting. Setting: A large regional health service in Victoria, providing hospital, rehabilitation, community, mental health and aged care services. Participants: Allied health managers employed at the health service were members of an action research group. Design: This longitudinal study used an action research approach. The action research group informed the repeated cycles of planning, action and reflection. Data from recorded action research meetings were analysed using content analysis. Results: The action research group met 11 times over a 5-year period informing four action research cycles. Six main themes relating to factors that enhanced the quality of clinical supervision emerged from the analysis of the action research group data: purpose and value of clinical supervision; clinical supervision characteristics; differences between disciplines; framework development; training and support and implementation of clinical supervision. Conclusion: The findings from this comprehensive longitudinal study provide evidence-based approaches to the implementation of allied health clinical supervision. The action research approach used ensures that the strategies described are realistic and sustainable. A model has been developed to inform the implementation of clinical supervision for allied health.

description: Real-time monitoring is necessary for nanoparticle exposure assessment to characterize the exposure profile, but the data produced are autocorrelated. This study was conducted to compare three statistical methods used to analyze data, which constitute autocorrelated time series, and to investigate the effect of averaging time on the reduction of the autocorrelation using field data. First-order autoregressive (AR(1)) and autoregressive-integrated moving average (ARIMA) models are alternative methods that remove autocorrelation. The classical regression method was compared with AR(1) and ARIMA. Three data sets were used. Scanning mobility particle sizer data were used. We compared the results of regression, AR(1), and ARIMA with averaging times of 1, 5, and 10 min. AR(1) and ARIMA models had similar capacities to adjust autocorrelation of real-time data. Because of the non-stationary of real-time monitoring data, the ARIMA was more appropriate. When using the AR(1), transformation into stationary data was necessary. There was no difference with a longer averaging time. This study suggests that the ARIMA model could be used to process real-time monitoring data especially for non-stationary data, and averaging time setting is flexible depending on the data interval required to capture the effects of processes for occupational and environmental nano measurements.
