description: Disordered nanostructures with correlations on the scale of visible wavelengths can show angle-independent structural colors. These materials could replace dyes in some applications because the color is tunable and resists photobleaching. However, designing nanostructures with a prescribed color is difficult, especially when the application -- cosmetics or displays, for example -- requires specific component materials. A general approach to solving this constrained design problem is modeling and optimization: using a model that predicts the color of a given system, one optimizes the model parameters under constraints to achieve a target color. For this approach to work, the model must make accurate predictions, which is challenging because disordered nanostructures have multiple scattering. To address this challenge, we develop a Monte Carlo model that simulates multiple scattering of light in disordered arrangements of spherical particles or voids. The model produces quantitative agreement with measurements when we account for roughness on the surface of the film, particle polydispersity, and wavelength-dependent absorption in the components. Unlike discrete numerical simulations, our model is parameterized in terms of experimental variables, simplifying the connection between simulation and fabrication. To demonstrate this approach, we reproduce the color of the male mountain bluebird (Sialia currucoides) in an experimental system, using prescribed components and a microstructure that is easy to fabricate. Finally, we use the model to find the limits of angle-independent structural colors for a given system. These results enable an engineering design approach to structural color for many different applications.

description: Weltweit befinden sich Millionen von Menschen auf der Flucht, die wegen Krieg, Verfolgung oder schweren Menschenrechtsverletzungen ihre Heimat verlassen haben. Auch die Schweiz erlebt seit einigen Jahren eine Zunahme der Zahl der Geflüchteten. Unter ihnen befinden sich viele Familien mit Kindern, die heute hier die Primarschule besuchen. Viele der Kinder sind aufgrund der Zustände im Heimatland oder der Flucht traumatisiert. Das Ziel der folgenden Arbeit ist die Darstellung der Auswirkungen einer Traumatisierung durch Flucht, was deren Ursachen sind und welche Reaktionen ein Trauma auslösen kann. Dabei wird ersichtlich, welche Lebensbereiche der Kinder durch die Traumatisierung besonders betroffen sind. Weiter wird aufgezeigt, welche Rolle die Schulsozialarbeit in Bezug auf die Traumapädagogik spielt. Vor dem Hintergrund von entwicklungspsychologischen Aspekten wurden Methoden und Handlungsaspekte der Sozialen Arbeit im Kontext Schulsozialarbeit auf Ebene Primarstufe im Umgang mit geflüchteten traumatisierten Kindern auf ihre Eignung hinterfragt und bewertet. Die Auseinandersetzung mit dieser Fragestellung ergab, dass sich Einzelfall- und Gruppenmethoden sowie Familien- und Elternarbeit für die Arbeit mit den traumatisierten Primarschulkindern besonders eignen. Weiter wurde ersichtlich, dass die beiden Handlungsansätze systemisches Arbeiten und Empowerment für das Berufsfeld Schulsozialarbeit in diesem Zusammenhang von hoher Bedeutung sind. Für die Schulsozialarbeit ist folglich die Kenntnis über die traumasensible Grundhaltung und den sicheren Ort zentral. Durch die Reflexion des eigenen Denkens und Handelns soll auf genügend Selbstfürsorge und Abgrenzung geachtet werden.

description: Male violence against women, especially in family and intimate relationships, has historically been considered ‘private’ violence. In recent decades unprecedented policy attention has been directed at family violence, and intimate partner violence in particular, as the most common type of family violence and violence against women (World Health Organisation 2013). This attention has accompanied increasing recognition of the public harm of ‘private’ violence (State of Victoria 2014-2016). Regardless, the dichotomy between what is considered public and private violence remains embedded in government policy, research and media reporting. This dichotomous approach is also hierarchical in the sense that ‘public’ violence is considered a greater threat to security than ‘private’ violence. This view persists despite evidence that ‘private’ violence against women results in far more death and injury than ‘public violence’ (Walklate et al 2019: 66-68). Mass casualty attacks are a form of public violence high on western states national security agendas. This research brief considers the growing body of evidence that demonstrates the intimate connection between lone actor mass casualty attacks in western countries, male violence against women, and misogyny.

 Comments. Brachypnoea Gistel, 1848 was proposed as a new replacement name for Noda Chevrolat, 1836 (a junior homonym of Noda Schellenberg, 1803 in Diptera, see BOUCHARD & BOUSQUET 2013). SEENO & WILCOX (1982) mistakenly gave priority to Nodonota Lefèvre, 1885 over the older Brachypnoea Gistel, 1848.

description: To date, the ability for observers to reveal the composition or thermal structure of an exoplanet's atmosphere has rested on two techniques: high-contrast direct imaging and time-series observations of transiting exoplanets. The former is currently limited to characterizing young, massive objects while the latter requires near 90 degree orbital inclinations, thus limiting atmospheric studies to a small fraction of the total exoplanet population. Here we present an observational and analysis technique for studying the atmospheres of non-transiting exoplanets that relies on acquiring simultaneous, broad-wavelength spectra and resolving planetary infrared emission from the stellar spectrum. This method could provide an efficient means to study exoplanet atmospheric dynamics using sparsely-sampled phase curve observations or a mechanism to search for signs of life on non-transiting exoplanets orbiting the nearest M-dwarf stars (such as Proxima Centauri). If shown to be effective with James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations, the method of measuring planetary infrared excess (PIE) would open up the large population of nearby, non-transiting exoplanets for atmospheric characterization.

description: Diese Forschungsarbeit geht der Frage nach, welche freiwillig ausgeübten Arbeiten gesellschaftlich am meisten Prestige geniessen. Die Teilnehmenden einer Online-Befragung konnten die für sie prestigeträchtigsten Freiwilligenarbeiten auswählen. Doch warum eine Prestigeskala der Freiwilligenarbeit? Die Soziokulturelle Animation arbeitet oft mit Freiwilligen zusammen. Das breite Aufgabenfeld des Berufes bringt unterschiedlichste Freiwillige untereinander und mit der Soziokultur in Kontakt. Allerdings haben nicht alle Menschen die Möglichkeit, sich freiwillig zu betätigen. Einkommen und Bildungsgrad spielen entscheidende Rollen, ob, wo und wieviel Freiwilligenarbeit Menschen leisten (können). Die Vermutung, dass soziale Ungleichheit sich im zivilgesellschaftlichen Sektor reproduziert, ist das theoretische Fundament dieser Arbeit. Basierend auf den Themenkomplexen der Soziokulturellen Animation, der Arbeit, der sozialen Ungleichheit und dem Berufsprestige gelangt diese Arbeit zur Forschungsfrage und zu Schlussfolgerungen für die Arbeit soziokultureller Animator*innen. Die Ergebnisse der Befragung zeigten, dass informelle Freiwilligenarbeit am meisten Prestige geniesst. Care-ähnliche Arbeiten im nicht-familiaren Umfeld und in der Nachbarschaft schwangen mit hohen Prestigewerten oben aus. Das Potential, das in der breiten Anerkennung informeller Freiwilligenarbeiten steckt, konnte die Soziokultur über das lokale und politische Sichtbarmachen der Arbeiten sowie das Vermitteln von Tätigen und Unterstützungsbedürftigen ausschöpfen.

description: PSR J0437-4715 is a millisecond pulsar (MSP) thought to be ``pair formation starved'' (having limited pair cascades due to magnetic photon absorption). Fortunately the general relativistic (GR) electrodynamical model under consideration applicable to this pulsar have few free parameters. We model PSR J0437-4715's visibility, using a 3D model which incorporates the variation of the GR E-field over the polar cap (PC), taking different observer and inclination angles into account. Using this pulsar as a case study, one may generalize to conducting a pulsar population visibility study. We lastly comment on the role of the proposed South African SKA (Square Kilometre Array) prototype, KAT (Karoo Array Telescope), for GLAST gamma-ray pulsar identification.

description: We study standing-wave solutions of Born-Infeld electrodynamics, with nonzero electromagnetic field in a region between two parallel conducting plates. We consider the simplest case which occurs when the vector potential describing the electromagnetic field has only one nonzero component depending on time and on the coordinate perpendicular to the plates. The problem then reduces to solving the scalar Born-Infeld equation, a nonlinear partial differential equation in 1+1 dimensions. We apply two alternative methods to obtain standing-wave solutions to the Born-Infeld equation: an iterative method, and a ``minimal surface'' method. We also study standing wave solutions in a uniform constant magnetic field background.

description: Traumatisierungen widerfahren Kindern und Jugendlichen sehr häufig durch nahestehende Personen. Daraus resultieren schwerwiegende Folgen für die weitere Entwicklung. Es kommt zu körperlichen, emotionalen oder psychischen Veränderungen und einer Abwertung des «Selbst». Das Gefühl der Sicherheit ist nicht mehr vorhanden und der Beziehungsaufbau fällt schwer. Um psychisch überleben zu können, werden Verhaltensweisen genutzt, die häufig destruktiv auf die Umwelt wirken. Ohne das psychotraumatologische und traumapädagogische Wissen sind die Sozialpädagog*innen mit solchen Verhaltensweisen überfordert. Folglich wird nicht adäquat reagiert. Mit der Grundhaltung, welche die Basis der Traumapädagogik bildet, soll traumasensibel reagiert werden. Mittels eines sicheren Ortes können korrigierende Erfahrungen gemacht werden, welche den Kindern und Jugendlichen eine positive Entwicklung ermöglichen. Anhand der Traumapädagogik kann die Selbstbemächtigung zurückerlangt werden. Die soziale Teilhabe wird zum Ziel der traumapädagogischen Arbeit. Mit den Erkenntnissen der Expert*innen wird in dieser Forschungsarbeit beleuchtet, dass die pädagogische Arbeit mit dem psychotraumatologischen und traumapädagogischen Wissen einen enormen Nutzen mit sich bringt. Sicherheit und korrigierende positive Beziehungserfahrungen werden ermöglicht. Die Sozialpädagog*innen handeln professioneller und fühlen sich sicherer im Umgang mit den Kindern und Jugendlichen. Die Traumapädagogik soll entsprechend von den Sozialpädagog*innen angewendet werden, um dem Auftrag der Förderung einer positiven Entwicklung der Kinder und Jugendlichen gerecht zu werden.

The effective inductance of the qubit was probed by a high-quality tank circuit. In the presence of a microwave power, with a frequency of the order of the qubit energy level separation, an alteration of the qubit inductance was observed. We demonstrate that this effect is caused by the redistribution of the qubit level population. The excitation of the qubit by one-, two-, and three-photon processes was detected. Quantitative agreement between theory and experimental data was found.

description: Die Elternarbeit in der Jugendstrafverfolgung ist ein wenig erforschtes Instrument, um einer delinquenten, adoleszenten Person eine gelingende Entwicklung zu ermöglichen. In dieser Arbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie Professionelle der Sozialen Arbeit die Elternarbeit in der Jugendstrafverfolgung gestalten können, um Jugendliche in ihrer gelingenden Entwicklung zu unterstützen. In einem explorativen Gespräch mit einer Sozialarbeiterin der Jugendanwaltschaft und durch die Auseinandersetzung mit theoretischen Grundlagen wurde das Handlungsfeld der Sozialen Arbeit in der Strafverfolgung beleuchtet. Anhand bestehender Literatur wurde Wissen über die Phase der Jugend, Jugenddelinquenz, den Einfluss der Eltern, mögliche Interventionen und verschiedene Methoden zusammengetragen. Eine erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit mit den Eltern ist eine nützliche Intervention zur Verhinderung von weiteren Jugenddelikten, da der familiale Umgang mit Delinquenz eine signifikante Auswirkung auf weitere kriminelle Handlungen und die Entwicklung von alternativen Verhaltensstrategien der Jugendlichen hat. Die familiären Ressourcen gilt es zu aktivieren und die Eltern in ihren Bemühungen zu unterstützen. Bei der Zusammenarbeit mit Eltern im Zwangskontext konnten jedoch Risiken und Chancen eruiert werden, die es zu beachten gilt. Mit der Implementierung der ausgearbeiteten Praxisempfehlungen in den Arbeitsalltag der Fachkräfte der Sozialen Arbeit in der Jugendstrafverfolgung könnte den Risiken professionell begegnet und die Zusammenarbeit zielführend gestaltet werden.

description: Some characteristic features in the radiation from a relativistic electron uniformly rotating along an equatorial orbit around a dielectric ball have been studied. It was shown that at some harmonics, in case of weak absorption of radiation in the ball material, the electron may generate radiation field quanta exceeding in several dozens of times those generated by electron rotating in a continuous, infinite and transparent medium having the same real part of permittivity as the ball material. The rise of high power radiation is due to the fact that electromagnetic oscillations of Cherenkov radiation induced along the trajectory of particle are partially locked inside the ball and superimposed in nondestructive way.

Mysis relicta and kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in Okanagan Lake, British Columbia : from 1970 and into the future
Creators: name: Kay, Aran Serenity
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The opossum shrimp (Mysis relicta) was introduced into Okanagan Lake, British Columbia (BC), in 1966 in order to serve as an intermediate food item for kokanee salmon (Oncorhychus nerka). However, beginning in the early 1970s, kokanee began a sharp decline in abundance. In the search for reasons for the kokanee decline, two factors were identified: mysid competition with kokanee over zooplankton resources and reduced nutrient loads to the lake. Between 1970 and 2000, the M. relicta population increased 20-fold and nutrients in the lake fell to one quarter of 1970 levels. Using the Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) software, an Ecopath model of Okanagan Lake in 1970 was built. This model attempted to account for all biomass within Okanagan Lake and contained 16 groups and 2 fisheries. This base 1970 model was then run through the Ecosim module and biomass was predicted for all groups from 1970 to 2020. For the 1970 to 2000 period, mysid and kokanee biomass were tracked by the program with high accuracy. Two key findings for this period were that Mysis relicta appears to have been responsible for the original kokanee decline, but reduced nutrient loads to Okanagan Lake are currently keeping the kokanee at depressed levels. From 2000-2020, Ecosim was used in a forecasting mode and solutions were examined which may help rehabilitating the kokanee population. The current mysid fishery does not have the capacity (30t year-1) to catch the number of mysids required (300t year-1) to aid kokanee populations to any great degree. Nutrient additions appear to be able to boost kokanee abundance in the lake without increasing mysid populations greatly. However, a combined approach involving nutrient additions with an intensified mysid fishery could allow kokanee abundance to approach 1970 levels.

description: Bright, ultracompact X-ray binaries observed in dense star clusters, such as Galactic globular clusters, must have formed relatively recently, since their lifetimes as persistent bright sources are short (e.g., ~10^8 yr above 10^36 erg/s for a 1.4 Msun neutron star accreting from a degenerate helium companion with an initial mass of ~0.2 Msun). Therefore, we can use the present conditions in a cluster core to study possible dynamical formation processes for these sources. Here we show that direct physical collisions between neutron stars and red giants can provide a sufficient formation rate to explain the observed numbers of bright sources. These collisions produce tight, eccentric neutron star -- white dwarf binaries that decay to contact by gravitational radiation on timescales ~10^6-10^10 yr, usually shorter and often much shorter than the cluster age.

description: We apply the chiral potential with the momentum space semi-local regularization to the $^2$H and $^3$He photodisintegration processes and to the (anti)neutrino induced deuteron breakup reactions. Specifically, the differential cross section, the photon analyzing power and the final proton polarization have been calculated for the deuteron photodisintegration at the photon energies 30 MeV and 100 MeV. For the $^3$He photodisintegration predictions for the semi-inclusive and exclusive differential cross sections are presented for the photon energies up to 120 MeV. The total cross section is calculated for the (anti)neutrino disintegrations of the deuteron for the (anti)neutrino energies below 200 MeV. The predictions based on the Argonne V18 potential or on the older chiral force with regularization applied in coordinate space are used for comparison. Using the fifth order chiral nucleon-nucleon potential supplemented with dominant contributions from the sixth order allows us to obtain converged predictions for the regarded reactions and observables. Our results based on the newest semi-local chiral potentials show even smaller cutoff dependence for the considered electroweak observables than the previously reported ones with a coordinate-space regulator. However, some of the studied polarization observables in the deuteron photodisintegration process reveal more sensitivity to the regulator value than the unpolarized cross section. The chiral potential regularized semi-locally in momentum space yields also fast convergence of results with the chiral order. These features make the used potential a high quality tool to study electroweak processes.

description: Most State agencies are now using electronic benefits transfer (EBT) systems to issue food stamp benefits. To promote operational efficiency, some States have received waivers of certain rules governing EBT use. An exploratory study was conducted to ascertain the effects of these waivers on food stamp recipients. The results show that two of the waivers-those allowing recipients to select their own personal identification numbers and to receive EBT training by mail rather than in person-cause new food stamp recipients in waiver States to have more difficulties in using the electronic system than new recipients in nonwaiver States. Further, the difficulties are more apparent among the elderly or disabled. However, the problems tend to disappear as new users gain EBT experience. A third waiver, extending time for card replacement via mail, showed mixed benefits for recipients, most of whom prefer to pick up the card at a food stamp office. Perhaps the most important conclusion is that the customer service waivers do not affect recipient satisfaction with the EBT system; the high level of satisfaction that they expressed suggests that most problems with the waivers are either transitory or minor. The full report is available online. See Effects of EBT Customer Service Waivers on Food Stamp Recipients: Final Report, at: http://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/efan02007

description: In this work we present the first systematic framework to sculpt active nematics systems, using optimal control theory and a hydrodynamic model of active nematics. We demonstrate the use of two different control fields, (1) applied vorticity and (2) activity strength, to shape the dynamics of an extensile active nematic that is confined to a disk. In the absence of control inputs, the system exhibits two attractors, clockwise and counterclockwise circulating states characterized by two co-rotating topological $+\frac{1}{2}$ defects. We specifically seek spatiotemporal inputs that switch the system from one attractor to the other; we also examine phase-shifting perturbations. We identify control inputs by optimizing a penalty functional with three contributions: total control effort, spatial gradients in the control, and deviations from the desired trajectory. This work demonstrates that optimal control theory can be used to calculate non-trivial inputs capable of restructuring active nematics in a manner that is economical, smooth, and rapid, and therefore will serve as a guide to experimental efforts to control active matter.

description: Publikacja Macieja Smętkowskiego, wydana w 2013 roku przez Wydawnictwo Naukowe Scholar, jest niezwykle cenną pozycją na polskim rynku wydawniczym. Problemem, a zarazem celem badawczym recenzowanej pracy w ujęciu generalnym jest próba zbadania poziomu konwergencji procesów rozwoju regionalnego oraz ich determinant endogennych oraz egzogennych. Cel ten w szczególności uwzględnienia politykę spójności Unii Europejskiej w nowych krajach członkowskich, których akcesja nastąpiła w 2004 i 2007 roku, położonych w Europie Środkowo-Wschodniej. Wpisuje się ona w badania dotyczące rozwoju regionalnego w państwach przechodzących transformację systemową po 1989 roku i stanowi efekt końcowy realizacji projektu naukowego pt. „Rozwój regionów i polityka regionalna w krajach Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej" finansowanego ze środków Ministerstwa Nauki i Szkolnictwa Wyższego. Analizie poddane zostały Czechy, Estonia, Litwa, Łotwa, Polska, Słowacja, Słowenia, Węgry oraz Bułgaria i Rumunia. Istotne znacznie ma również przyjęcie analizy wszystkich podregionów w ujęciu przestrzennym NUTS 3 (według podziału z 2003 roku). Publikacja składa się z pięciu powiązanych ze sobą merytorycznie rozdziałów. Poszczególne części stanowią kompleksową analizę procesów rozwoju regionalnego z niezwykle mocną podbudową teoretyczną pozwalającą na przedstawienie badań empirycznych.

description: We consider the exploration process associated to the continuous random tree (CRT) built using a Levy process with no negative jumps. This process has been studied by Duquesne, Le Gall and Le Jan. This measure-valued Markov process is a useful tool to study CRT as well as super-Brownian motion with general branching mechanism. In this paper we prove this process is Feller, and we compute its infinitesimal generator on exponential functionals and give the corresponding martingale.

description: Tomasz Kizwalter to polski historyk, który w swej pracy naukowej zajmuje się w szczególności dziejami XIX-wiecznej Polski oraz historią idei i społecznych wyobrażeń w XIX i XX stuleciu. Fascynację tymi zagadnieniami odczuć można podczas lektury jego najnowszej książki „W stronę równości", wydanej nakładem wydawnictwa Universitas w 2014 roku. W omawianej pozycji autor poddaje historycznej analizie przeobrażenia idei równości oraz praktyki społecznej z tej idei wynikającej, od starożytności po czasy współczesne, najwięcej uwagi poświęcając właśnie wiekowi XIX oraz XX. Dzięki temu praca, oprócz walorów historycznych, zyskuje na wartości również jako pozycja wielokrotnie odnosząca się do teraźniejszości i obecnej kondycji poruszanej problematyki. Jedną z pierwszych konstatacji autora związanych z historyczną analizą nierówności jest ta najbardziej oczywista (i często w publicznej dyskusji pomijana): postulaty względnej przynajmniej równości odwołujące się do praw człowieka są w istocie nowym konstruktem społecznym. Równość, rozpatrywana obecnie w kategoriach zarówno uniwersalnej prawdy, jak i w zasadzie bezwzględnego moralnego imperatywu, do niedawna nie była tak oczywista. Dzisiejsza waga tego pojęcia, jak również stojących za nią roszczeń, nadana została mu stosunkowo niedawno. Jest jednak ahistorycznie uniwersalizowana w kategorii czasu tak, iż uzurpujemy sobie współcześnie prawo do oceniania, czy normy i stosunki społeczne obowiązujące w przeszłości spełniałyby dzisiejsze równościowe minimum – także w kategoriach moralnych. Takie analizy przysłaniają jednak rzeczywistą naturę minionych społeczeństw, które posługiwały się innego rodzaju kategoriami poznawczymi. Ich odmienność nie powinna być jedynym wyznacznikiem sądów o przeszłości.

description: We analyze single particle momentum spectra and interferometry radii in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC within a hydro-inspired parametrization accounting for continuous hadron emission through the whole lifetime of hydrodynamically expanding fireball. We found that a satisfactory description of the data is achieved for a physically reasonable set of parameters when the emission from non space-like sectors of the enclosed freeze-out hypersurface is fairly long: $ 9$ fm/c. This protracted surface emission is compensated in outward interferometry radii by positive $r_{out} - t$ correlations that are the result of an intensive transverse expansion. The main features of the experimental data are reproduced: in particular, the obtained ratio of the outward to sideward interferometry radii is less than unity and decreases with increasing transverse momenta of pion pairs. The extracted value of the temperature of emission from the surface of hydrodynamic tube approximately coincides with one found at chemical freeze-out in RHIC Au+Au collisions. A significant contribution of the surface emission to the spectra and to the correlation functions at relatively large transverse momenta should be taken into account in advanced hydrodynamic models of ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions.

description: A "healthy school meal environment" not only gives students opportunities to make healthy meal choices but also encourages them to do so. The extent to which a healthy school meal environment affects the success of USDA's school meals programs is currently a subject of debate. The policy strategies that can be used to encourage such an environment for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP)also are subjects of debate. Environmental factors considered to be important include: (1) the nutritional quality, variety, and acceptability of program meals; (2) meal scheduling; (3) nutrition education; and (4) sales of non-USDA ("competitive") foods. Other factors contributing to an overall healthy nutrition environment in the school include a commitment to physical activity, and promotion of healthy eating and physical activity. This issue brief reviews information on the first three of these school meal environment factors. Competitive foods are discussed in a separate issue brief.

description: The mission of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is to safeguard the health of low-income women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk. WIC provides nutritious foods to supplement diets, nutrition education, and referrals to health care and other social services. Administered by USDA's Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), the program has grown rapidly since its establishment in 1972, and is now one of the central components of the Nation's food and nutrition assistance system. Almost half of all infants and about one-quarter of all children 1-4 years of age in the United States now participate in the program. Federal program costs were almost $4 billion in fiscal 2000, making WIC the country's third-largest food assistance program in terms of total expenditures. WIC accounts for almost 12 percent of total Federal expenditures for food and nutrition assistance. This report presents comprehensive background information on the WIC program-how it works, its history, program trends, and the characteristics of the population it serves. It also examines issues related to program outcomes and administration. How the WIC community responds to these issues may have a large impact on future program operations.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine whether sentence combining with an explicit metalinguistic approach in comparison to typical science instruction was effective in improving written expression and understanding of comparison/contrast in science for eighth-grade students who struggle with literacy.Method: Eighty-four eighth-grade students who struggle with literacy participated in this study. The experimental group (n = 36) received the writing intervention of metalinguistic sentence combining (MSC) during their science class for a total of 400 min (20 intervention sessions, 20 min each), while the comparison group (n = 48) participated in their typical science instruction. Total science instruction time was held constant for both groups. All students completed pretests and posttests to determine an increase in (a) syntactic factors of academic science text such as longer sentence length and use of syntactic forms of connectives, targeted connectives, left embeddedness, and agentless passive voice when responding to a science compare and contrast writing prompt; and (b) listing similarities and differences between two science concepts on a graphic organizer.Results: Treatment was effective in improving the experimental group’s score in listing similarities and differences between two science concepts on a graphic organizer. There were no significant differences between the two groups in their use of syntactic factors typical of academic text when responding to a science compare and contrast writing prompt.Conclusions: MSC was effective in improving the experimental student’s ability to demonstrate understanding of comparison and contrast in science. Modifications to the MSC intervention may yield better results in the experimental group’s posttreatment writing in future studies.
