description: This paper explores the pre-tenure experiences of five assistant professors employed in the faculty of education of a research-intensive university. Acting as co-researchers, the authors researched their experiences through a critical narrative approach. The analysis, informed by critically-oriented writing that extends Wenger's Communities of Practice. takes as axiomatic the notion that globalized processes of economic restructuring are mediating work in the academy and examines its local manifestations. Discussions explore issues of power, equity, shifting identities, and the need for improved navigational resources. The authors found that the process of critically and collaboratively researching their pre-tenure experiences offered insight into sites of personal and professional agency and also served as the impetus to form the social semiotic spaces that encouraged a sense of community. The Dean, a tenured member, but also a newcomer, serves in the role of critical friend.

description: To make sense of their different experiences with tenure, three education professors inquire into tenure as an institutional process using postmodern constructs. Foucault's panopticon, with its subsidiary ideas of surveillance and docile bodies provided a fresh perspective for viewing the power differential between pre-tenure professors and those tenured professors who will judge their adequacy for tenure status. Second, the authors used Baudrillard's simulacrum to understand differently their colleagues' attempts to simplify the challenge of tenure through the provision of unofficial statements of expected outputs. The vulnerability of new scholars due to the power differential within tenure is substantial, but such vulnerability may be a coherent consequence of the institution's structure. Rather than reforming tenure as an institutional process, the authors suggest that conversations about identity-making and tenure take place within relationships with colleagues.

description: Sleep is essential but places animals at risk. Filtering acoustic information according to its relevance, a process generally known as sensory gating, is crucial during sleep to ensure a balance between rest and danger detection. The mechanisms of this sensory gating and its specificity are not understood. Here, we tested the effect that sounds of different meaning have on sleep-associated ongoing oscillations. We recorded EEG and EMG from mice during REM and NREM sleep while presenting sounds with or without behavioural relevance. We found that sound presentation per se, in the form of a neutral sound, elicited a weak or no change in the power of sleep-state-dependent EEG during REM and NREM sleep. In contrast, the presentation of a sound previously conditioned in an aversive task, elicited a clear and fast decrease in the EEG power during both sleep phases, suggesting a transition to lighter sleep without awakening. The observed changes generally weakened over training days and were not present in animals that failed to learn. Interestingly, the effect could be generalized to unfamiliar neutral sounds if presented following conditioned training, an effect that depended on sleep phase and sound type. The data demonstrate that sounds are differentially gated during sleep depending on their meaning and that this process is reflected in disruption of sleep-associated brain oscillations without behavioural arousal.

description: Can we really afford the feverish pace the post-university seems to demand of us as pre-tenured faculty? Who or what does such frenetic activity ultimately serve? Without seeking recourse in romantic nostalgia, this article documents an optimistic demarcation of new chronotopic sites in the academe: "slow hours," taking time for personal journal writing, creating visual poetry. We hope our "slow breaths" on our journey to tenure will stand as invitation to our community of colleagues to also regularly partake of moments that shift the instrumental demands of productivity toward the immediacy of creative process as instances of scholarly endeavors.

description: This paper describes the design and development of new polymers for solid state nuclear track detection. A monomer triallyl phosphate (TAP) has been synthesized and cast homo/ copolymerized with allyl diglycol carbonate (ADC) to get transparent thin films of poly(triallyl phosphate) (PTAP) and poly(TAP-co-ADC) polymers respectively, which were successfully explored for the first time for detection of alpha particles and fission fragments. The polymerization kinetics studies were carried out to generate constant rate polymerization profile for TAP and TAP: ADC monomer mixture. Poly(TAP-co-ADC) copolymer in 3:7 wt./wt. ratio showed better radiation sensitivity as compared to indigenously prepared PADC and commercially available CR-39 detectors.

description: The interatomic potential for Fe–Cr–Ni–N system based on the second nearest-neighbour modified embedded-atom method has been developed in this work. The potential is based on those for the corresponding lower order systems. The potential parameters for the binary systems, Cr–N, Ni–N, Ni–Fe and Ni–Cr, were determined by fitting the lattice constants, elastic properties, heat of solution and defect binding energies. The potential parameters for the ternary systems were calculated based on the corresponding binary systems. Then, all of them were applied to the quaternary system Fe–Cr–Ni–N to confirm their validity by a simulation of the lattice constants of AISI 316 austenitic stainless steel with a range of nitrogen content. The results were in good agreement with the previous observations and calculations.

description: The intestinal epithelium is one of the fastest renewing tissues in mammals. It shows a hierarchical organisation, where intestinal stem cells at the base of crypts give rise to rapidly dividing transit amplifying cells that in turn renew the pool of short-lived differentiated cells. Upon injury and stem-cell loss, cells can also de-differentiate. Tissue homeostasis requires a tightly regulated balance of differentiation and stem cell proliferation, and failure can lead to tissue extinction or to unbounded growth and cancerous lesions. Here, we present a two-compartment mathematical model of intestinal epithelium population dynamics that includes a known feedback inhibition of stem cell differentiation by differentiated cells. The model shows that feedback regulation stabilises the number of differentiated cells as these become invariant to changes in their apoptosis rate. Stability of the system is largely independent of feedback strength and shape, but specific thresholds exist which if bypassed cause unbounded growth. When dedifferentiation is added to the model, we find that the system can recover faster after certain external perturbations. However, dedifferentiation makes the system more prone to losing homeostasis. Taken together, our mathematical model shows how a feedback-controlled hierarchical tissue can maintain homeostasis and can be robust to many external perturbations.

description: The rates of both maternal and fetal adverse outcomes increase significantly with higher body mass index. The aim of this study was to calculate national estimates of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes and associated hospitalization cost among obese pregnant women using a national database. This study was a retrospective analysis of data retrieved from Nationwide Inpatient Sample database, collected during 2010-2014. The primary outcomes of this study were adverse maternal and fetal outcomes, hospital length of stay, and hospitalization cost. There was a total of 18,687,217 delivery-related hospitalizations, of which 1,048,323 were among obese women. Obese women were more likely to have cesarean deliveries (aOR 1.70, 95% CI 1.62-1.79) and labor inductions (aOR 1.51, 95% CI 1.42-1.60), greater length of stay after cesarean deliveries (aOR 1.14, 95% CI 1.08-1.36) and vaginal deliveries (aOR 1.48, 95% CI 1.23-1.77). They were also more likely to have pregnancy-related hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, premature rupture of membranes, chorioamnionitis, venous thromboembolism, excessive fetal growth, and fetal distress. Obese pregnant women had significantly greater risk for adverse obstetrical outcomes, which substantially increased the hospital and economic burden. Risk stratification of pregnant patients based on obesity could also help obstetricians to make better clinical decisions and improve patient outcomes.

description: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD), as expressed by older adults, is associated with negative affect, which, in turn, is a likely risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease (AD). This study assessed the associations between negative affective burden, cognitive functioning, and functional connectivity in networks vulnerable to AD in the context of SCD. Older participants (60-90 years) with SCD (n = 51) and healthy controls (n = 50) were investigated in a cross-sectional study. Subclinical negative affective burden, quantified through a composite of self-reported negative affective factors, was related to cognitive functioning (self-perceived and objective) and functional connectivity. Seed-to-voxel analyses were carried out in default mode network (DMN) and salience network (SAL) nodes using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Greater negative affective burden was associated with lower self-perceived cognitive functioning and lower between-network functional connectivity of DMN and SAL nodes in the total sample. In addition, there was a significant moderation of SCD status. Greater negative affective burden related to higher functional connectivity within DMN (posterior cingulate-to-precuneus) and within SAL (anterior cingulate-to-insula) nodes in the SCD group, whereas in controls the inverse association was found. We show that negative affective burden is associated with functional brain alterations in older adults, regardless of SCD status. Specifically in the SCD phenotype, greater negative affective burden relates to higher functional connectivity within brain networks vulnerable to AD. Our findings imply that negative affective burden should be considered a potentially modifiable target for early intervention.

description: This paper examines three recent educational movements from a philosophical and historical perspective in order to identify and analyze the related philosophical underpinnings. Those approaches examined include multicultural education, peace education and cooperative learning. The origins and basic features of each educational movement are described briefly. Analysis is primarily concerned with goals and objectives and an examination of points common to the three approaches. The theoretical concern is that the underlying philosophical bases of these movements is not readily discernible due to the lack of the proponents of each approach to make these c lea r. The authors contend that the fundamental premise of these movements is remarkably like that of the Progressivist educational focus of this century. Two implications flow from this, namely that all "new" ideas need to be carefully examined for their relation to ongoing (or past) practice, and educators need to be more concerned about explicating premises when postulating new approaches.

description: An increasing number of professional faculties in Canada are teaching courses. conducting research and offering conferences that address some aspect of spirituality. Through a review of course offerings and publications taught and authored by Canadian faculty associated with business, education and social work, this paper provides a preliminary comparative analysis of the emerging force of spirituality as a focus for research and teaching within these three professional faculties in the context of Canadian universities. While there is a gradual emergence of spirituality as a research and teaching agenda, particularly within the professional faculties of social work and adult education (within the faculty of education), there is evidence of underlying tensions within the mainstream academy as it seeks to ignore, marginalize and at times actively discourage such a focus.

Cognitive Dissonance: A Comprehensive Review Amongst Interdependent and Independent Cultures

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

description: Festinger postulated that within each person's mind is a mechanism that creates an uncomfortable feeling of dissonance, or lack of harmony, when we become aware of some inconsistency among various attitudes, beliefs, and items of knowledge that constitute our mental store. Festinger called this phenomenon the cognitive dissonance theory. Another facet of social psychology that has been studied at great length is the cross-cultural differences between North American culture and East Asian culture. Specifically, East Asian culture and North American culture has been associated with interdependent culture and independent culture, respectively. In the past decade, social psychologists have begun to investigate dissonance theory with respect to crosscultural differences. As classrooms become ethnically, racially, and culturally increasingly diverse, educators must be aware of cognitive dissonance in contrasting cultures to foster optimal achievement.

Blinded by the White: Social Studies and Raceless Pedagogies
Creators: name: Chandler, Prentice T.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This article examines the race related pedagogies of two white, male teachers in north Alabama. Drawing on the analysis of two qualitative case studies related to how they taught about race within the context of their American history courses, the author argues that teaching about race within their classes serves to reify and uphold white supremacy in the social studies curricula. The author describes the following themes that emerged throughout the research: a) liberal, incremental process, b) race neutrality and color-blindness, c) fear of teaching about race, and d) naturalization/essentialization of race. The analysis of how race is conceptualized by the teachers in this study is informed by critical race theory (CRT). social studies research, and Pierre Bourdieu's notion of misrecognition. By utilizing CRT philosophy, he points to the idea that race, as a part of the formal and enacted curriculum is downplayed and overshadowed by more traditional explanations of race in United States history. He argues that the social studies profession needs to make race and racism a more visible part of the social studies curricula. Implications of this research point to a need to reconceptualize citizenship and citizenship education and to resist the cultural right in the area of social education.

Diabetes in pregnancy: importance of ethnicity, timing of onset and modes of prevention
Creators: name: Agha-Jaffar, Rochan
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with adverse risks to the mother and developing baby. Managing GDM has significant cost implications both in terms of the resources required to adequately treat the condition as well as those needed to address secondary complications. Preventing GDM therefore has several theoretical benefits. Factors contributing to GDM development and the associated complications, most notably fetal macrosomia, are explored in this thesis with an emphasis on the effect of ethnicity. An original analysis of 4562 women presented here demonstrated significant variations in baseline maternal demographics, measures of glycaemia, fetal birth weight and adjusted birth weight centile across five different ethnic groups. An ethnic group dependent effect on the interaction between glucose and fetal birth weight was additionally found that persisted following adjustment for maternal early pregnancy body mass index. While maternal weight and ethnicity are considerations in addressing materno-fetal risk, length of exposure to glucose is also important and increases adverse outcomes as illustrated by the results of a case control study of 200 pregnant women presented here. However, despite identification and treatment of women who develop hyperglycaemia early in pregnancy, increased premature delivery rates and higher still birth rates were observed implicating the importance of preventing hyperglycaemia in pregnancy. One of the principle risk factors identified for early development of hyperglycaemia, was a previous pregnancy complicated by GDM. The final part of this thesis focuses on the rationale for an original trial designed to establish if metformin therapy, commenced early pregnancy, could prevent GDM recurring in women with previously affected pregnancies. While the impact of metformin in mitigating risk cannot be commented on, the low macrosomia rates and postnatal complication rates observed in this trial relative to pregnant women with previous GDM, continue to suggest the importance of addressing factors early in pregnancy.

description: The Tarbagatay Complex, located in northwest Junggar, is situated tectonically between the Zharma–Saur arc to the north and the Tacheng terrane and the Boshchekol–Chingiz arc to the south. This Complex belt is variably composed of ophiolitic mélange, sedimentary mélange, and coherent units of turbidites and shallow water sediments. These rocks crop out in fault-bound slices with fault-parallel asymmetric folds. Both the lithologies and deformation features of the Tarbagatay Complex suggest an accretionary origin generally with a top-to-the-south tectonic vergence, suggesting N-dipping subduction beneath the Zharma–Saur arc. The presence of a former ocean is indicated by the Ordovician ophiolite mélanges and related marine fossils. The time duration of the Tarbagatay Complex can be bracketed by detrital zircon ages of turbidites and shallow water sediments with a lower limit of major peak ages of 350–370 Ma, and an upper limit of middle Permian indicated by detrital zircon ages of 262.3 Ma. Based on these data, we suggest that the subduction of the Tarbagatay Ocean likely started in the Late Devonian and lasted until the middle Permian. Taking into account the formation of the northern part of the Kazakhstan orocline, which has a similar temporal-spatial framework, we propose a tectonic model for the western CAOB that involves accretion and amalgamation from the Ordovician to the middle Permian.

description: A novel three-stage process to produce NTCR sensors is presented. In this process, an uncalcined powder mixture of NiO and Mn2O3 was deposited onto an alumina substrate via aerosol co-deposition (AcD). Then, an electrode structure was screen-printed onto the surface and the composite film was sintered in a multifunctional temperature treatment. Thereby, the sintering of the electrode, the formation of the NiMn2O4 spinel and the removal of film strains took place simultaneously. This enabled a significant reduction in energy demand and workload. The manufactured sensors, both as first prototypes, as well as miniaturized chip components, were characterized by a single-phase cubic NiMn2O4 spinel structure, mechanical stability and electrical properties that were similar to those of classical NiMn2O4 bulk ceramics or tempered aerosol deposited (AD) NiMn2O4 films. Particularly noteworthy was the high reproducibility and low variation of the NTCR parameters, such as the specific resistivity at 25 °C ρ25, the electrical resistance at 25 °C R25 and the thermistor constant B. The NTCR parameters were as aging-stable as for NiMn2O4 bulk ceramics or tempered NiMn2O4 AD-films and could even be further improved by thermal post-treatment.

description: Serpentinites from Junan (JN), Rizhao (RZ), and Rongcheng (RC) in the Sulu ultra-high-pressure (UHP) terrane, China, were analysed for U–Pb zircon geochronology, mineral chemistry, whole-rock major and trace element chemistry (including rare-earth elements (REEs) and platinum-group elements (PGEs)), and Re–Os isotopes, in order to better constrain their petrogenesis and geodynamic process. The serpentinite zircons yield two age groups: 731 ± 10 to 780 ± 10 Ma for relic magmatic zircon cores, which may indicate early crystallization and emplacement of the peridotite in the Yangtze crust, and 209 ± 2 to 218 ± 3 Ma for metamorphic zircon, which coincides with Triassic UHP metamorphism. The spinels in the serpentinites exhibit significant Cr# variation (0.6–0.91) and have undergone multi-stage metamorphism. The serpentinites are characterized by enrichment in incompatible trace elements, low Ni and IPGE concentrations, and high Pd/Ir ratios, and the bulk-rock major elements plot in the ultramafic cumulate region. Their Re and Os concentrations are similar to those of typical orogenic peridotite, but they have high 187Os/188Os ratios (0.12433–0.14423). We believe that the serpentinite’s protolith consisted of cumulates from an asthenosphere-derived melt that intruded into the continental crust of the Yangtze craton in the Neoproterozoic. These cumulates were later subducted and metamorphosed during the subduction of the Yangtze craton in the Triassic. The serpentinites underwent melt–rock interactions and fluid enrichment, both prior to and during serpentinization.
The influence of salt tectonics in the evolution of the Subalpine chains, Haute-Provence, France
Creators: name: Csicsek, Lajos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: The Subalpine chains of Haute Provence have been studied for over 100 years. Upper Triassic evaporites are known to be the basal detachment surface for thin-skinned Alpine compression and diapirs have been also identified. However, the importance of salt tectonics during Tethyan rifting and the passive margin subsidence which followed it, and the influence of precursor salt structures in the evolution of the Alpine fold and thrust belt have been underestimated. This work describes pre-Alpine salt structures in the Subalpine chains in more detail and discusses in depth the effects of salt tectonics in the evolution of the fold and thrust belt. The initiation of salt tectonics was triggered by the Early-Middle Jurassic Tethyan rifting. First generation salt structures developed north of the Provençal platform in the slope and basin palaeogeographical domains. Passive diapirism dominated during the subsequent passive margin phase leading to the formation of a polygonal primary minibasin and salt-ridge system. Salt tectonic activity culminated in the extrusion of evaporites onto the seafloor during the Albian-Cenomanian and coincided with the deposition of black shales. Allochthonous salt sheets were emplaced from mature diapirs, and extrusive sheets coalesced to form a salt canopy which covered large areas of the primary minibasin and salt-ridge system and the Tethyan margin. A second generation of salt structures developed above the canopy, and they bounded elongated secondary minibasins. From the Late Cretaceous onwards, Alpine compression led to the squeezing of the first-generation salt structures and depletion of the canopy. Secondary minibasins were carried as piggyback basins in the actively deforming fold and thrust belt and the interaction of salt tectonics and thrusting resulted in the formation of asymmetric hybrid basins. The geometry of the pre-Alpine salt structures and adjacent minibasins strongly influenced the structural style of the fold and thrust belt.
Patient-provider communication on clinical outcomes, healthcare resource utilisation, engagement, and clinical trial recruitment of dermatology patients
Creators: name: Read, Charlotte
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Background: Patient-provider communication occurs in daily clinical encounters and is important to improve patient outcomes. The perception of high-quality patient-provider communication is associated with better patient outcomes. Therefore, understanding which factors may be associated with the perception of high-quality patient-provider communication is important to improve outcomes like engagement and disease severity. Objectives: Among dermatology patients, this thesis aimed to: 1) determine the impact of patients’ physical and mental health status on the perception of patient-provider communication, 2) determine the impact of patient-provider communication on healthcare resource utilisation, and 3) determine the effect of tailored delivery of education on engagement, disease severity, and clinical trial recruitment. Methods: Part 1 (aims 1 and 2) aims to determine the factors that may be associated with patients’ perception of patient-provider communication quality. Part 2 (aim 3) aims to determine the effect of tailored delivery of education on engagement, disease outcomes, and clinical trial recruitment. Results: In part 1, symptoms of psychological distress and depression as well as lower levels of mental or physical health functioning were associated with the perception of low-quality patient-provider communication. Furthermore, the perception of lower quality patient-provider communication was associated with greater healthcare utilisation. In part 2, compared to patients who received non-tailored delivery of education, patients who received tailored delivery of education had an overall greater level of engagement, medication adherence, clinical trial recruitment, and patient knowledge, but there was no difference in disease severity. Implications: For part 1, the implication is that it is important for providers to be adaptable and supportive in their communication style and to develop novel methods to improve patient experience with the patient-provider interaction to minimize the unnecessary overutilisation of healthcare resources. For part 2, the implication for practice is that it is important for providers to consider how we disseminate educational materials to optimise patient outcomes.

description: The rhetoric of “excellence” is pervasive across the academy. It is used to refer to research outputs as well as researchers, theory and education, individuals and organisations, from art history to zoology. But what does “excellence” mean? Does it in fact mean anything at all? And is the pervasive narrative of excellence and competition a good thing? Drawing on a range of sources we interrogate “excellence” as a concept and find that it has no intrinsic meaning as used in the academy. Rather it functions as a linguistic interchange mechanism or boundary object. To investigate whether linguistic function is useful we examine how excellence rhetoric combines with narratives of scarcity and competition and show that hypercompetition that arises leads to a performance of “excellence” that is completely at odds with the qualities of good research. We trace the roots of issues in reproducibility, fraud, as well as diversity to the stories we tell ourselves as researchers and offer an alternative rhetoric based on soundness. “Excellence” is not excellent, it is a pernicious and dangerous rhetoric that undermines the very foundations of good research and scholarship.

Interactionism in Psychology and Education: A New Paradigm or a Source of Confusion?
Creators: name: Violato, Claudio
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: The nature of interactionism as manifested in psychology and education is examined. The author discusses the historical , conceptual, and methodological bases of interactionism, reviews pertinent research , and concludes that interactionism (person-by-situation study in personality psychology and A TI in educational study) is little more than the proclamation of a truism . Moreover, he argues, the focus on interactionism has contributed more confusion than clarity since the need for a better understanding of the person factor in the classical B = f (P ,S) has been obscured.

The Impossibility of Atheoretical Educational Science
Creators: name: Garrison, James W.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Atheoretical science is not merely difficult or undesirable - it 's impossible. The reasons for this impossibility center on the Meno paradox of Plato. Briefly stated the paradox says that all inquiry is impossible because we either know what we seek, in which case why search for it, or we have no idea of what we seek, in which case how could we recognize it? The way out of this paradox, first suggested by Aristotle, is to say that we have at least partial foreknowledge of the objects of inquiry. In scientific inquiry this foreknowledge comes in the guise of theory. Science without theory stumbles along blindly. A theoretical science is impossible. The attempt at atheoretical science is simply bad science - or worse.

Sincronías barrocas offre prospettive decentrate sugli incontri tra Asia, Iberoamerica ed Europa, dal XVI al XVIII secolo. Si pone l'accento sulla prospettiva transpacifica e sugli agenti che ne sono stati i protagonisti. Questo volume collettivo in spagnolo e inglese comprende analisi sugli eventi che hanno rafforzato le connessioni e le loro propaggini (oggetti di uso quotidiano, cibo, testi letterari e testi) essenziali per comprendere la formazione delle storie globali durante questo periodo. Le opere contenute in questo libro gettano così nuova luce su molteplici aspetti della prima globalizzazione e delle sue conseguenze nel Pacifico verso i diversi nodi della monarchia spagnola.
La Dependence dans I' Education au Tiers Monde: l'Exemple Africain
Creators: name: Medahunsi, S. O.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: The paper examines the relationship between dependency and education, and the extent to which the modem educational systems as operated in the third word reinforce dependency. Some fundamental questions relating to the issues of foreign aid to education (i.e. capital and technical assistance), language and training and the way they reproduce and perpetuate dependency in education are critically explored. Suggestions on how to tack le some of the questions raised in the paper are made to facilitate the efforts of third world governments in making the education relevant to third world people.

description: A membrane bioreactor was operated under intermittent aeration and various organic loading rates (OLR: 0.070, 0.159 and 0.291 g COD L−1 d−1) to remove carbon and nitrogen from mature landfill leachate, where external carbon source (glycerol) addition resulted in effective nitrate removal. A relative increase in soluble microbial product (SMP) over extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) was observed at the highest OLR and glycerol addition, whereas no membrane biofouling occurred. SMP (proteins and carbohydrates) and carbohydrate EPS correlated positively and negatively, respectively, with suspended solids and transmembrane pressure (TMP). Moreover, proteinous SMP significantly correlated with carbon and nitrogen load. Principal component analysis also revealed the influence of leachate organic and nitrogen content on biomass production, TMP and sessile ciliate densities. Although filamentous index (FI) was sustained at high levels (3–4), with Haliscomenobacter hydrossis being the main filamentous bacterium identified, no bulking phenomena occurred. High glycerol addition resulted in a rapid increase in sessile ciliate population. Increased Epistylis and Vorticella microstoma population was detected by microscopic examination during high glycerol addition, while a remarkable Rhogostoma population (supergroup Rhizaria) was identified by molecular techniques. The contribution of Rhizaria in nitrogen processes may lead to the dominance of Rhogostoma during landfill leachate treatment.
Turning Eastside Kids Into Westside Kids: Employability Skills in the British Columbia Career and Personal Planning Curriculum
Creators: name: Benjamin, Amanda
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This paper critically examines employability skills in the Career and Personal Planning Curriculum (CAPP) that existed in four Vancouver, British Columbia schools from 1995-2004. With corporate involvement in school curriculum on the rise through programs like the Conference Board of Canada's Employability Skills Profile, it is increasingly important for educators to examine the larger role that employer based skills are playing in career education curricula. This paper examines how the corporatized CAPP curriculum influenced the ways in which teachers taught about work and employment skills in their career education classrooms and highlights an important tension whereby students were taught differently based on perceptions of social class. This study reveals that there was an important class distinction to how employability skills are presented to students.

Communicating With Parents Across Cultures: An Investigation of an ESL Parents' Night
Creators: name: Guo, Yan
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Increasing diversity in the student population intensifies the need for establishing culturally responsive communication between teachers and parents. This study examines the communication processes between Chinese immigrant parents and Canadian English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers in a Parents' Night event organized to increase understanding of the ESL program. It is based on observations of three annual Parents' Nights, interviews of ESL teachers and bilingual assistants who acted as interpreters for parents, and focus groups. Results indicate that teachers approached Parents' Night as a mass educational event, which limits the scope for Taylor's "dialogue across differences." As an educational event. Parents' Night appears to be effective in providing general information about the ESL program for new parents. But as an intercultural conflict negotiation event, Parents' Night is ineffective in satisfying experienced parents. The study illustrates how teachers' failure to understand the cultural frame of reference of the immigrant parents created more tensions (Scollan & Scollon, 2001). Implications for preparing teachers to work with parents from diverse cultures are discussed.
