description: This study explores gender-related inequality in participation in Adult Education and Training (AET) in four countries with vastly different adult learning systems and support measures for women’s AET. Our examination of the data from an original international survey conducted in 2022 has found that the participation of men and women clearly differs among types of AET. Despite the frequently reported equal gender participation rates, the presented findings show that men participate more in job-related and employer-sponsored non-formal education (NFE), while women manage to develop more general skills in non-job-related and non-employer-sponsored NFE. Furthermore, our findings reveal that the primary reasons for participation in NFE are remarkably similar between men and women and, therefore, cannot be used as a source of explanation for different participation patterns. In addition, the extent of gender inequality in job-related and employer-sponsored NFE across countries exhibits minimal variation. All this implies that countries with vastly different adult learning systems currently display a degree of similarity in gender inequality regarding NFE, which could be determined more by characteristics of the labor market than the welfare regime.

description: Mesothuria rugosa Hérouard, 1912
Reports for the Azores:
p.p. Mesothuria murrayi (Théel, 1886) — $ Hérouard 1902: 23–24;
Mesothuria rugosa Hérouard, 1912 — $ Deichmann 1930: 98–99, pl. 8, figs. 1–6.
Type locality: off Cape Verde (16°12’30”N, 24°43’45”W).
See: Hérouard (1912: 1–3, fig. 1; 1923: 19–21, pl. 1, figs. 11–21, pl. 2, figs. 1, 2); Deichmann (1930); Benavides-Serrato et al. (2012: 206); Gebruk (2012: 308–309, figs. 9, 12).
Occurrence: North Atlantic, from Caribbean waters eastwards to the Azores and Cape Verde (Hérouard 1912, Deichmann 1930).
Depth: 460– 3,890 m (Benavides-Serrato et al. 2012); AZO: 1,600 m (Hérouard 1902).
Habitat: soft substrates (Hérouard 1902).
Remarks: Deichmann (1930) re-examined one of the two specimens collected by Princesse Alice southeast of Flores Island (sta 719: 39°11’00”N, 30°24’15”W, 1,600 m) and identified by Hérouard (1902) as Mesothuria murrayi. She compared with her specimens of M. rugosa from the Caribbean waters and found them to be identical. Considering the intricate taxonomy of this species together with other closely related species such as M. maroccana and M. murrayi, some authors have expressed doubts about the validity of this species (e.g., Gebruk 2012). However, present knowledge on the intraspecific variation in these species is still scarce and thus an extensive revision on these species is pending.

description: Xerobiotus euxinus
According to our observations, the following characters not reported in the original description (Pilato et al. 2011) should be added to the species description: presence of semilunar thickening at the base of the claws of the first three pairs of legs (visible with LM; Fig. 4D–G); presence of small indentations on the margin of the lunules of the hind legs (Fig. 4I, J); a cuticular thickening in the shape of a ring with irregular margins present under the claw base (and connected with it) of the hind legs (Fig. 4H, I and K); and presence of very small dorsolateral cuticular pores (visible only with SEM; Fig. 5F). It is a bisexual species.
Asser the discovery of this species, two other species of the genus were described, and some others are redescribed or described here. Because of this, the description of the species is no longer sufficient to distinguish this species clearly from congenerics. Moreover, the eggs of X. euxinus type population are unknown, and the new characters reported above should be added to the description. For these reasons, we think it is opportune to redescribe this species in the future.

Listen to me : experiences of recovery for mental health service users
Creators: name: Roy, Philippe
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: There is increasing awareness that mental health consumers may have important information for the development of services. In this qualitative study, I interviewed 10 consumers with the purpose of exploring in depth their experiences in interacting with service providers in the greater Vancouver area. Using constant comparative analysis, I found that the data suggested participants’ experiences of recovery developed largely out of connecting with other consumers rather than with service providers. Current services were portrayed as primarily reliant on the use of psychiatric medication. Consumers pointed to numerous difficulties in seeking help, including a lack of treatment alternatives, stigma and isolation. They also presented a strong demand for services and policies that promote an individual sense of recovery and support their fundamental human rights. Mental health service providers need to critically reflect on their current practices and policies, and how they may negatively impact their clients' lives by failing to properly listen to their narratives, grievances, experiences and perceptions. This study suggests further inclusion of consumer's views and participation in services to foster collaborative, recovery-oriented practices.

description: The importance of programs that develop the thinking skills of students has been emphasized by many educational researchers. However, the majority of these studies have focused on developing these skills of gifted students and of students in public schools. Few have focused on developing and strengthening such skills in students with learning disabilities. Thus, we aimed to a test a program that elevates thinking skills using a sample who have learning disabilities. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 20 female sixth-grade students with learning disabilities who were divided into an experimental group (n = 10) and a control group (n = 10). The instruments utilized were the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT)-Figural Test B and a training program based on active learning strategies (e.g. discussion, dialogue, brain-storming, mind-mapping) comprising 18 training sessions over 6 weeks. Differences (<0.01) between the scores of the experimental group and those of the control group on the post-test were found in favour of the experimental group. There were also differences between the mean scores of the experimental group in the pre- and post-test in favour of the post-test. Through a follow-up test administered 6 weeks after the conclusion of the experiment, we confirmed that the effectiveness of the program was maintained. The program increased fluency. originality, the ability to elaborate, flexibility and, thus, total creative thinking. It’s important that pupils develop the ability to think creatively in order to solve problems. There are programs that help gifted students to do this but very few that help pupils with learning disabilities to develop these skills. We tested whether the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT)-Figural Test B and a training program, based on active learning strategies, could increase creative thinking – including fluency, originality, flexibility and elaboration– on students of this kind. After 18 sessions, and a follow-up test six weeks later, we found that these sessions led to a clear improvement in creative thinking in children with learning disabilities.

See: Théel (1886a); Benavides-Serrato et al. (2012); Gebruk et al. (2012).
Occurrence: cosmopolitan, in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Southern Oceans; in the west Atlantic reported from New England to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, in the east reported from Iceland eastwards from the Rockall Trough south to NW Africa, including the Azores, Madeira, Canaries and Cape Verde (Perrier 1902, Hérouard 1923, Gebruk et al. 2012); reported elsewhere in the South Atlantic (25°27’S, 6°10’W; Gebruk et al. 2012).
Depth: 484– 5,100 m (Benavides-Serrato et al. 2012); AZO: 1,165 –2,102 m (Hérouard 1902).
Habitat: soft sediments, muddy sand, mud to clay (Hérouard 1902).
Larval stage: lecithotrophic (Gebruk et al. 2012).
Remarks: the true geographical distribution and depth range of Zygothuria lactea is unknown, particularly in the Western Atlantic, given that historically this species was confused with other closely related species [e.g., Z. oxysclera (Perrier, 1899), see Gebruk et al. 2012]. In the Azores, Z. lactea is extremely abundant between 1,200 and 2,000 m (Hérouard 1902).

description: This study investigates alternative conceptions of chemistry concepts among Faculty of Science students at Palestine Technical University-Kadoorie. Students are found to have incorrect views about fundamental chemistry concepts. The study aims to identify these misconceptions, understand their origins, and their impact on students’ comprehension. For data collection, the researcher used a conceptual exam administered to 52 students. A desk review explored the interpretation of alternative conceptions. The results showed incorrect answers ranging from 53.9% to 84.6%. Students showed confusion between specific heat and temperature, misunderstanding concentration in saturated solutions, and incorrect views on boiling points, metalloids, and gas solubility. The researcher explained the sources of these misconceptions. Based on the results, educators need to develop their teaching style to address these alternative conceptions. Educators should consider the presence of alternative conceptions when instructing fundamental chemistry concepts and promptly address them to improve students’ comprehension. This research fills a gap in the literature by providing insights specific to the Palestinian context, which has been underexplored in previous studies. The study aimed to identify alternative concepts in chemistry among the Faculty of Science students. The researcher explored the existence of these concepts through teachers’ preparation lectures, depending on some various strategies, such as investigation, discussions, written dialogue, concept mapping, and problem solving, while she was implemented the experimental learning about scientific concepts; she noticed that there are a lot of alternative concepts, which prompted her to do this diagnostic study to explore the extent of these alternative conceptions among the Faculty of Science students. This study is of significant importance as it addresses a pivotal topic. If these alternative concepts remain unaddressed, they could accumulate in the minds of student teachers. This study provides interpretations of these alternative concepts, elucidating the reasons for their formation, also this can help in effectively addressing them.

description: Acyclus sp.
(Figs 2a–2 c)
Although only a single specimen of this taxon was observed, we believe that it may represent an undescribed species. Morphologically, the animal is characterized by a prominent bifid anterior margin of dorsal corona lobe (Fig. 2 c) which is reminiscent of Atrochus tentaculatus Wierzejski, 1893, the sister taxon of Acyclus. The single known species of Acyclus, A. inquietus Leidy, also occurs in Thale Noi Lake but is easily distinguished by a rounded anterior margin of dorsal corona lobe. Moreover, the specimen of Acyclus sp. was observed predating on a colony of Lacinularia flosculosa (Müller), whereas all of the specimens of Acyclus inquietus we observed were found in association with colonies of Sinantherina socialis (Linnaeus). Acyclus inquietus feeds on eggs and larvae of S. socialis whereas Acyclus sp. was seen to predate on adult specimens of L. flosculosa; the Acyclus sp. takes up a Lacinularia in its vestibulum, sucks out its content of its victim and finally releases the remains, an empty trunk and foot.

description: The United States of America is going through some immense cultural changes, the likes of which have not been seen since the social and political movements of the 1950s and 60s, with generations of people are waking up to decades of deep-rooted issues that routinely challenge the fate of America’s survival as a solitarily united nation. Teachers play a peculiar role amidst this turbulent, internationally polarized climate, having to justify their roles as educators upon unfair accusations of indoctrination and continually implementing differing methods of addressing vitally important and relevant matters within the comprehensive development of their academic curriculum. So, how are teachers expected to satisfy an increasingly concerned parent population while at the same time navigating this turbulent socio political landscape? As a developing teacher, and through the education I have received as a student of history and secondary education at Lake Forest College, I have developed a personal philosophy of education (a mantra, one could say) that advises the reader to take a single action to promote a clearer state of thinking and a deeper sense of understanding the source of their thoughts: stop doing everything. The aim of this message is to help you feel better capable of confronting complex challenges with a firm sense of inner self-support. Allow me to guide you, dear reader, through the development of my philosophy of education and explore its usefulness, not only as an epistemological inquiry on meaning itself, but in its practicality as a classroom philosophy.

description: This study aimed to adapt and validate the Parents Education Anxiety Questionnaire (PEAQ) for the Indonesian context. The sample included 222 parents of school-aged children, predominantly mothers (84.7%) and fathers (15.3%). The results indicated that the adapted questionnaire exhibited good reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .90, ensuring internal consistency. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the fit of both first-order and second-order models, confirming the construct validity. Concurrent validity was demonstrated by moderate correlations between PEAQ and SPANE-Positive and SPANE-Negative. These findings highlight the reliability and validity of the Indonesian version of PEAQ, making it a valuable tool for measuring parents’ education anxiety, a crucial aspect for Asian parents, and its impact on children’s academic performance.

Remarks: Hérouard (1902) firstly identified Princesse Alice material collected in Azorean waters as Pseudostichopus occultatus. In a later report, Hérouard (1923) realized that the specimens belonged to two new different species, which he described as P. lapidus and P. marenzelleri. O’Loughlin (2002) placed both species in the synonymy of P. peripatus. However, O’Loughlin (2002) examined a specimen of P. marenzelleri collected within Azores waters (36°58’N, 26°20’W, 2,871 –2,917 m,?unreported) present in the collection of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (Paris) and found significant differences to a point to consider its determination as P. peripatus as uncertain. Regardless, later O’Loughlin & Ahearn (2005) confirmed the synonymy of both P. marenzelleri and P. lapidus with P. peripatus.

description: Creative thinking transforms existing information, either from long-term memory or external sources, into new representations and innovative ideas. Creative thinking is an activity that processes received information to produce new representations and innovative ideas. Developing this skill is essential for students; however, recent research has yet to classify their creative thinking in solving non-routine problems. This study created a new classification based on three aspects of creative thinking in solving mathematical problems. The research used a qualitative descriptive approach, employing 72 students from Indonesia as subjects in a test involving the use of the think-aloud approach in problem-solving. Data collection consisted of tests, observations, and interviews. There were three stages of data analysis: data reduction, presentation and conclusions, and verification. This study’s results grouped students’ creative thinking processes in solving non-routine problems into three classifications: direct, flexible, and elaborative. The three classifications differ in the strategies or steps used to solve problems. The similarities of the three classifications include using similar aspects of creative thinking, namely flexibility, fluency, and elaboration in solving non-routine problems, even though some of these aspects have yet to be realised optimally due to students’ creative thinking in solving mathematical problems, especially non-routine problems, still needing improvement. Study offers a comprehensive study of creative thinking for mathematical problem-solving. Creative thinking is part of mathematical thinking, which is a crucial component of 21st century mathematics skills. Future educational challenges are very complex. For this reason, this study is here to present a classification of mathematical thinking for mathematical problem-solving. This research has never been conducted before, so the study is truly suitable to fill the gap and provide high novelty value. Hopefully, readers will be academically entertained by reading this study and gain new insights.
The genetics of sports behaviour : the role of the DRD4 gene in sensation seeking in skiers
Creators: name: Thomson, Cynthia J
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Previous research has shown a large genetic influence over personality traits, especially sensation seeking. One gene thought to influence this behavioural trait is the dopamine-4-receptor gene (DRD4), in which variants have been associated with sensation seeking and novelty seeking in some, but not all studies. The inconsistencies between studies may be due to heterogeneity in both the behaviours and the populations being assessed. Some studies included only males and few studies have a priori analyzed males and females separately. SS has been associated with high-risk sports, including skiing; however, this is the first study to address the possibility that genetics may play a role in individuals’ inclination towards SS in sport. Using the Contextual Sensation Seeking Questionnaire for Skiing (CSSQ-S), developed and validated for this study, and the Zuckerman-Kuhlman Personality Questionnaire (ZKPQ), levels of SS in males and females were analyzed in association with the alleles of a polymorphism in the dopamine-4-receptor, -521 C/T (a C or a T at position -521). Behavioural analysis of skiers (N = 200) revealed a significant correlation (r²= .506, p < .001) between skier behaviour (CSSQ-S) and skier personality score (ZKPQ) for sensation seeking. Genotype analysis (N = 74) revealed allele frequencies of .58 C and .42 T and an over-representation of the C allele was found in the population of skiers compared with a general Caucasian population (p < .01). In females, a significant association was found between the homozygous C/C genotype and high levels of contextual skiing SS behaviour (N = 36, p = .006, η² = .2), along with a non-significant trend between ZKPQ impulsive SS scores and the alleles of -521 C/T (p = .086). No association, however, was found in males (N=38, p ZKPQ = .473, p CSSQ-S = .345). This study supports the hypothesis that alleles of the DRD4 -521 C/T polymorphism are associated with context-specific SS behaviours, however only in females. Social pressures may differentially influence male and female sensation-seeking behaviour which may explain the lack of association in males, though this hypothesis requires further investigation.

description: Collotheca algicola (Hudson) (Figs 2 d–2f) and Collotheca ambigua (Hudson) (Figs 2 g– 2i)
We tentatively consider these two taxa as separate species, even though the most recent checklist of the group considers C. algicola (Hudson) a synonym of C. ambigua (Hudson) (Segers 2007). Our material matches well the original description of both species (Hudson & Gosse 1886). We found three morphological characters that distinguish the two (Table 3):
● the dorso-lateral corona lobes are more prominent in C. algicola than in C. ambigua ● the separation between foot and trunk is more pronounced in C. ambigua than in C. algicola; ● they differ significantly in size, with C. ambigua being the larger of the two.

That the relatively small C. algicola is not a young, immature and therefore not fully grown specimen is indicated by the accumulation of excretophores (Fig. 2 e), a phenomenon which is commonly observed in old specimens of many species of Collotheca, but not in young ones (Koste 1978). We nevertheless refrain from concluding on the matter as we observed only low numbers of both of the taxa concerned. In particular, we found only a single specimen of what we identify as C. algicola.
Collotheca ambigua could also be confused with C. campanulata (Dobie) (Figs 3a–3 c) or C. trilobata (Collins) (Figs 3 d–3f). However, they can be distinguished from C. campanulata by having a deeper and wider sinus separating the ventral corona lobes (compare Fig. 2 i and 3c), and by shape of its relatively narrower dorsal corona (compare Figs 2 h– 2i and 3b–3c). C. ambigua can further be separated from C. trilobata by having small dorso-lateral corona lobes (absent in C. trilobata) and relatively small ventro-lateral corona lobes when compared to C. trilobata (compare Figs 2 h– 2i and 3e–3f; see also Table 3).

description: Despite the recent attention given to multicultural and bilingual teaching, several studies indicate that teacher education programmes in South African higher education institutions continue to instruct pre-service Mathematics teachers in Foundation Phase predominantly in English. This poses difficulties for learners when they start teaching in schools. Thus, this study examines the strategies employed by Mathematics teacher educators (university lecturers) in preparing Mathematics student teachers (teacher trainees) for mother-tongue-based bilingual teaching in the Foundation Phase. Underpinned by an interpretivist paradigm, this study employed a qualitative research approach and a case study design. Twelve participants from two public universities in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa were purposively selected for this study. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, formal observation, and document review, and the collected data were analysed thematically. The research findings revealed that, although there is no one-size-fits-all approach to training Mathematics student teachers for bilingual teaching, the major strategies employed by Mathematics educators include organising collaborative lesson planning sessions, incorporating technology and multimedia into lesson planning, providing resources and materials in the mother tongue, and code-switching. Based on its findings, the study concludes that using these approaches can equip student teachers with the essential language skills and cultural awareness needed to provide their students with a fair and inclusive Mathematics learning environment, which, in turn, helps Mathematics student teachers become effective educators for bilingual learners. This qualitative study investigates the strategies Mathematics teacher educators employ in preparing student teachers for mother-tongue-based bilingual instruction in the Foundation Phase. Recognizing the linguistic diversity of learners, the research aims to uncover effective pedagogical approaches that facilitate the integration of students’ home languages into Mathematics education. The study highlights the major strategies in this context through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document reviews. By identifying best practices and innovative strategies, the findings contribute to the discourse on teacher education and bilingual instruction, emphasizing the importance of culturally responsive teaching in Mathematics. The implications of this research extend to policy recommendations for enhancing teacher training programs, ensuring that future educators are equipped to meet the needs of diverse learners in multilingual settings.

Reports for the Azores:
Deima validum Théel, 1879 — $ Gebruk 2008: 50, 51.
Type locality: Pacific (36°10’N, 178°00’E).
See: Hansen (1975: 16–23, figs. 1, 109, pl. 9, fig. 1, pl. 13, figs. 1–2); Rogacheva et al. (2013: 595, fig. 18E).
Occurrence: cosmopolitan, in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans; in the Caribbean deep waters to off Rio de Janeiro (Brazil; Hansen 1975), eastwards from south of the Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone (Mid-Atlantic Ridge; Rogacheva et al. 2013) and the Rockall Trough (Tyler et al. 1985a) to southern African deep waters (19°13’S; Bohn 2006); the subspecies D. validum pacificum Ludwig, 1894 is restricted to the East Pacific (Hansen 1975).
Depth: 724– 5,424 m (Rogacheva et al. 2013); AZO: 2,954 –2,968 m (Gebruk 2008).
Habitat: epibenthic deposit-feeder on soft sediments, from clay to Globigerina ooze (Hanse 1975, Rogacheva et al. 2013).
Larval stage: possibly direct (non-brooding) or lecithotrophic (Tyler et al. 1985a).
Remarks: historically, the cosmopolitan Deima validum validum was reported from waters between the Azores and the Iberian continental shores (e.g., Hérouard 1902, as Deima atlanticum). Only recently Gebruk (2008) reported this species within the archipelago’s waters, among material collected at the Azorean EEZ’s northern border (G.O. Sars, MAR–ECO cruise, sta 40/367: 42°55’N, 30°20’W, 2,954 –2,968 m).

description: This study aims to develop and validate a comprehensive scale for assessing students’ sustainability competence in education for sustainable development (ESD). Existing ESD assessment tools have faced criticism for lacking rigorous design and validation. Following a three-phase procedure proposed by Boateng et al., the study utilized qualitative and quantitative methods to develop and validate the scale. The scale was administered to 708 students participating in an extracurricular eTournament on Sustainable Development Goals organized by a Hong Kong university. The validation process involved expert panels, cognitive interviews, factor analyses, and assessments of internal consistency. Using Wiek et al.'s five-competence framework, 16 ESD learning outcomes were generated, forming the basis for the scale items. The survey included a mini-scenario introduction to enable students’ evaluation of sustainability practices, even with limited experience. Data analysis revealed a four-factor structure that could be both distinguished and integrated under a single upper-level factor. The scale is developed with the aim to better measuring tertiary students’ sustainability competence via a holistic and integrated approach, which completes the constructive alignment of current ESD, particularly in extracurricular settings.
Hate crime law & social contention : a comparison of nongovernmental knowledge practices in Canada & the United States
Creators: name: Haggerty, Bernard P.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Hate crime laws in both Canada and the United States purport to promote equality using the language of antidiscrimination law. National criminal codes in both countries authorize enhanced punishment for crimes motivated by “sexual orientation” but not “gender identity” or “gender expression.” Cities and states in the United States have also adopted hate crime laws, some of which denounce both homophobic and trans-phobic crimes. Hate crime penalty enhancement laws have been applied by courts in both Canada and the United States to establish a growing jurisprudence. In both countries, moreover, other hate crime laws contribute to official legal knowledge by regulating hate speech, hate crime statistics, and conduct equivalent to hate crimes in schools, workplaces, and elsewhere. Yet, despite the proliferation of hate crime laws and jurisprudence, governmental officials do not control all legal knowledge about hate crimes. Sociological “others” attend criminal sentencing proceedings and provide support to hate crime victims during prosecutions, but they also frame their own unofficial inquiries and announce their own classification decisions for hate-related events. In both Canada and the United States, nongovernmental groups contend both inside and outside official governmental channels to establish legal knowledge about homophobic and trans-phobic hate crimes. In two comparable Canadian and American cities, similar groups monitor and classify homophobic and trans-phobic attacks using a variety of information practices. Interviews with representatives of these groups reveal a relationship between the practices of each group and hate crime laws at each site. The results support one principal conclusion. The availability of local legislative power and a local mechanism for public review are key determinants of the sites and styles of nongovernmental contention about hate crimes. Where police gather and publish official hate crime statistics, the official classification system serves as both a site for mobilization, and a constraint on the styles of contention used by nongovernmental groups. Where police do not gather or publish hate crime statistics, nongovernmental groups are deprived of the resource represented by a local site for social contention, but their styles of contention are liberated from the subtle influences of an official hate crime classification system.

Reports for the Azores:
Oneirophanta mutabilis Théel, 1879 — $ Gebruk 2008: 50, 51.
Type locality: Between Marion and Crozet Islands (46°46’S, 45°31’E).
See: Théel (1879: 6–7, pl. 1, figs. 4–6); Hansen (1975: 24–32, figs. 2–5).
Occurrence: cosmopolitan, in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Southern Oceans; from the Rockall Trough (Gage et al. 1985) south to the waters between the Azores and the Iberian Peninsula (Hérouard 1923, Gebruk 2008); reported elsewhere off Uruguay, South Atlantic (36°44’S, 46°16’W; Théel 1882); O. mutabilis affinis Ludwig, 1893 is restricted to the East Pacific (Hansen 1975).
Depth: 1,804 –6,000 m (Hérouard 1923, Tyler et al. 1985a), mostly deeper than 3,200 (Gage et al. 1985); AZO: 2,954 –3,050 m (Gebruk 2008).
Habitat: epibenthic on soft sediments, from sandy clay to ooze (Hansen 1975).
Larval stage: possibly direct or lecithotrophic (Tyler et al. 1985a).
Remarks: historically, the cosmopolitan Oneirophanta mutabilis mutabilis was recorded in the waters near the Azores, between the archipelago and the European continental shores (e.g., Perrier 1902, as Oneirophanta mutabilis). Recently, Gebruk (2008) reported this species within the archipelago waters (G.O. Sars, MAR–ECO cruise, sta 40/367: 42°55’N, 30°20’W, 2,954 –2,968 m; sta 46/372: 42°46’N, 29°16’W, 3,005 –3,050 m). The somehow discontinuous distribution of this cosmopolitan species in the Atlantic may reflect an artefact produced by insufficient sampling as a consequence of the great depths in which the species is usually found.

description: Competency-based assessment plays an important role in the development of learners’ education as it enables them to demonstrate their expertise and readiness for professional life. The competencies of ‘KRU RAK THIN’ scholarship recipients in remote and underprivileged areas reflect the learning outcomes that teacher education institutions should achieve to meet the basic needs of community schools in these areas. The competency-based assessment model developed utilizes real-life scenarios from the teaching environment of community schools in remote and underprivileged areas to create simulations in which student teachers can apply their existing problem-solving skills. The aim of this study is to develop a competency-based assessment model for third-year student teachers in the ‘KRU RAK THIN’ program. The study found that the competency-based assessment model for these students consists of the following elements: (1) assessment of scholarship students’ competencies, with assessors taking on two interrelated roles: Coaching and Evaluation; (2) a simulated, situation-based competency-based assessment activity; and (3) data on student competencies along with individual development strategies. The quality assessment of this competency-based assessment model for the third-year students found it to be of the highest quality regarding authenticity, cognitive complexity, meaningfulness, directness, comparability, transparency, fairness, cost and benefit, educational consequences, and reproducibility of decisions.
Models of disability as distinguishing factor: a theoretical framework of inclusive education and the application to a literature review

description: This study reports on a newly developed framework of inclusive education, which sets out from three distinct models of disability (medical, relational, and social) and incorporates matching learning theory (behaviourist, cognitivist, and constructivist) and the placement of children with disabilities (exclusive, functional inclusive, full inclusive). Central to the framework is the contradiction between functional and full inclusive concepts, which are traced back to the conflict between a deterministic (medical and relational) and social model of disability. Applied to a complementary review of the literature published between 2006 and 2021, the framework sets the basis for structuring content analysis. An analysis of N = 685 reports shows the coherence of the framework as well as an increase in total publications, especially with full inclusive concepts. Additionally, analysis of the applied methodology shows a predominant role of qualitative methods, which is coherent with the constructivist perception of full inclusion. Implications are discussed regarding inconsistencies and barriers to inclusive education.
