description: Arctic Chlamydomonas sp. is a dominant microalgal strain in cold or frozen freshwater in the Arctic region. The full-length open reading frame of the omega-6 fatty acid desaturase gene (AChFAD6) was obtained from the transcriptomic database of Arctic Chlamydomonas sp. from the KOPRI culture collection of polar micro-organisms. Amino acid sequence analysis indicated the presence of three conserved histidine-rich segments as unique characteristics of omega-6 fatty acid desaturases, and three transmembrane regions transported to plastidic membranes by chloroplast transit peptides in the N-terminal region. The AChFAD6 desaturase activity was examined by expressing wild-type and V254A mutant (Mut-AChFAD6) heterologous recombinant proteins. Quantitative gas chromatography indicated that the concentration of linoleic acids in AChFAD6-transformed cells increased more than 3-fold [6.73 ± 0.13 mg g−1 dry cell weight (DCW)] compared with cells transformed with vector alone. In contrast, transformation with Mut-AChFAD6 increased the concentration of oleic acid to 9.23 ± 0.18 mg g−1 DCW, indicating a change in enzymatic activity to mimic that of stearoyl-CoA desaturase. These results demonstrate that AChFAD6 of Arctic Chlamydomonas sp. increases membrane fluidity by enhancing denaturation of C18 fatty acids and facilitates production of large quantities of linoleic fatty acids in prokaryotic expression systems.

description: Utilizing second language (L2) socialization as a theoretical framework, this study explores international students' performance of speech acts in academic and social settings, and individual and contextual factors underlying their L2 socialization experiences. Data were gathered through a 20-item online discourse completion test (DCT) and semi-structured interviews. Situational prompts in the DCT involved instances such as requesting extra time for assignment completion and negotiating roles in group work. While mostly grammatically correct, the DCT responses were marked by absence of typical speech acts, such as expressions of regret, excuses, and apologies. Interview data revealed a relatively low level of engagement with the target speech community. Findings suggest that present models of language support, which focus almost exclusively on development of academic language and literacy, largely overlook the importance of direct engagement with the target speech community. We recommend such engagement be delivered deliberately as part of the language support curriculum.

description: This phenomenological study investigated the experiences of counselling psychology graduate students who completed the self-reflective field activity in the context of a practicum course. For this course assignment, students chose a minority cultural group that they were unfamiliar with (e.g., a specific ethnic or religious group). They were then asked to a) identify their assumptions about this group (pre-reflections) b) attend a community event hosted by the chosen group, and c) reflect on how their perspectives changed over time (post-reflections). Participants completed an in-depth qualitative interview about their learning and engagement regarding the self-reflective field activity. An inductive content analysis methodology was used to analyze participants’ pre- and post- reflection logs as well as transcribed qualitative interviews. Results yielded three overarching categories, depicting participants’ experiences prior to, during, and after the assignment. Implications for cultural competence training are discussed, including the benefits of experiential learning as well as the need for self-reflection inside and outside of the classroom.

description: Cowbirds brood parasitism has a detrimental effect on the breeding success of their hosts. The occurrence of parasitism observed may be related to environmental features at landscape or nest-site scales. Such relationships have been assessed for the Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) in the large forests of the northern hemisphere. Here, we present a study conducted on the Shiny Cowbird (M. bonariensis) in native forests of the southern hemisphere in Argentina. These forests are characterised as semi-open woodlands, with forest fragments of variable sizes immersed in native grasslands. We aimed to evaluate the effect of Shiny Cowbird brood parasitism on the breeding success of a native passerine, the Masked Gnatcatcher (Polioptila dumicola), and to assess the relationship of its occurrence with environmental features at landscape and nest-site scales. During three breeding seasons (2015–2018) we monitored 207 gnatcatcher nests of which 70 were parasitised. Brood parasitism was the cause of nest failure in 60% of the parasitised nests. In addition, breeding success measured by apparent nest success, egg survival, hatching success and nestling survival were significantly lower for parasitised nests than for non-parasitised nests. Brood parasitism occurrence was negatively associated with forest cover, where nests located in sites with less forest cover experienced a higher occurrence of parasitism than those with greater cover. As these native semi-open forests face a continuous decline, our results add to the evidence of negative impacts of deforestation.

description: Cross-cultural, multicultural, intercultural, and transcultural perspectives and practices in higher education contexts vary significantly, comparable to the blurring and often obscure definitions and interpretations applied to internationalisation terminology. In this article, academics from two Schools of Education in Canada and Australia aim to deepen the dialogue by sharing perspectives on internationalisation, drawing from their places of work and learning. The findings are discussed through the lens of a conceptual framework for internationalisation of higher education. From scholarly discourse, perspectives, practices, opportunities, and challenges pertaining to internationalisation in university contexts are examined. Recommendations for action for internationalisation within pre-service teacher education contexts follow.

description: Affective instability, the tendency to experience emotions that fluctuate frequently and intensively over time, is a core feature of several mental disorders including borderline personality disorder. Currently, affect is often measured with Ecological Momentary Assessment protocols, which yield the possibility to quantify the instability of affect over time. A number of linear mixed models are proposed to examine (diagnostic) group differences in affective instability. The models contribute to the existing literature by estimating simultaneously both the variance and serial dependency component of affective instability when observations are unequally spaced in time with the serial autocorrelation (or emotional inertia) declining as a function of the time interval between observations. In addition, the models can eliminate systematic trends, take between subject differences into account and test for (diagnostic) group differences in serial autocorrelation, short-term as well as long-term affective variability. The usefulness of the models is illustrated in a study on diagnostic group differences in affective instability in the domain of eating disorders. Limitations of the model are that they pertain to group (and not individual) differences and do not focus explicitly on circadian rhythms or cycles in affect.

The legal contract with unenforceability of bidding is very controversial issue, which has not yet found peace jurisprudence. The problem to be faced in this work is: the government should conduct bidding process for an attorney? If an attorney is directly, with unenforceability of bidding, can characterize administrative misconduct? What is the view of jurisprudence on the subject? In this perspective, the work makes a brief approach to the root of the misconduct, showing that improba conduct of human beings comes from the distant past. Analyzes the principle of administrative morality the Light of the legal system, with definitions and notes on the acts of administrative misconduct. They are also addressed other issues relevant for the general understanding of the subject, as the civil investigation, the prescription in the law of administrative misconduct, the primary defense in the action of administrative misconduct and improper conduct by the practice of crime under art. 19 of Law No. 8,429 / 92. Finally, concludes with an analysis of requirements that could lead to the waiver of bidding for the specific case of the legal hiring, bringing up the understanding of the law including on the issue of improper conduct by this conduct.

description: Urbanisation is accompanied by major environmental changes that impact the structure and functioning of communities and ecosystems, bringing new selective regimes for animal species and for eco-evolutionary dynamics. We aimed to evaluate whether urban intensification promotes ecomorphological changes in birds from a large city in Central Brazil. Analyses were performed on a set of 1314 individuals of 35 species, captured along a gradient of urban intensification. We found significant morphological changes associated with urban intensification by evaluating ten ecomorphological traits and body mass of the species assemblage. Beak length showed the most dramatic changes, and was significantly shorter as a function of urban intensification, mainly in individuals of insectivorous and omnivorous species. These results reinforce the notion that environmental changes caused by human activities in dense urban environments promote new selective pressures in resident bird species.

description: С первых лет существования государства Сасанидов на аверсе монет каждого сасанидского царя помещался его портрет в профиль, а на реверсе – алтарь-аташдан, где горел священный огонь. Его изображение демонстрировало значение зороастризма как государственной религии. Приверженность к сохранению определенного количества составных частей алтаря – их семь – говорит о сакральном назначении предмета и существовании канонов, которых придерживались при его устройстве. В статье анализируются композиции аташданов в основном по изображениям, известным из публикаций сасанидских монет и монет-подражаний сасанидскому чекану. Автор отмечает постепенную схематизацию иконографии аташдана от монументальности к декоративности, связывая это явление с ослаблением роли зороастрийской религии в жизни государства и общества.
Diminutive Reduplication in Modern Hebrew
Creators: name: Kreitman, Rina
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2003

description: In this paper I explore diminutive reduplication in Modern Hebrew (MH) using an Optimality Theoretic (McCarthy & Prince 1995) framework, which has the advantage of allowing interaction of phonological and morphological constraints regulating the reduplication process. I claim that reduplication in MH stems from general principles of reduplication interacting with principles of fixed prosody. A bisyllabic template with prespecified vocalic material determines the shape of the diminutive form. The bisyllabic template is motivated through constraint interaction on word size. The infixed reduplicant is responsible for reduplicating the last syllable of the input, example: gezer ‘carrot’ → gzarzar ‘baby carrot’. Trisyllabic output forms: lavan ‘white’ → levanvan ‘whitish’, superficially, do not seem to conform to the bisyllabic template. These arise from phonological constraints on wellformedness of onset clusters. I also account for forms that remain faithful to the input vowel like xazir→ xazarzir. Reduplication can be regarded as a case of affixation, specifically infixation, even in non-concatenative languages.

description: Quantifying nest success for seabirds breeding in remote offshore islands can be logistically challenging, especially for species with protracted breeding phenologies. Thus, any monitoring program must be robust to these challenges, but few studies have reported evaluations of survey design, monitoring frequency, and methods for estimating nesting success for such species. We explored whether the current monitoring program for Red-tailed Tropicbirds (Phaethon rubricauda) on Raine Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia, enabled accurate estimates of nesting success. We use three different approaches to produce the first estimates of nesting success from data collected by this monitoring program. Annual nesting success for Red-tailed Tropicbirds was low at Raine Island, estimated as between 24.3% and 30.6%, indicating that further study is warranted to identify possible causes. However, our study illustrates possible pitfalls of the monitoring program, and we propose three critical considerations (maximising per-nest observations, standardising timing of visits, and using automated technologies) that would improve the ability of monitoring programs to estimate nesting success for seabirds with protracted breeding phenologies. Use of such modifications in monitoring programs will improve our ability to diagnose the causes of population declines for seabirds in the Great Barrier Reef.

description: Den opparbeidede originale 'R. Authenticity Metrics' på norsk. Riedel Authenticity Metrics (RAM) er en konseptuell modell utviklet for å vurdere intensjonspolaritet og opplevd autentisitet i mellommenneskelig kommunikasjon. I motsetning til tradisjonelle trekkteorier som Big Five og MBTI, fokuserer RAM på 'hvordan noe formidles', ikke 'hva som sies' og tilbyr dermed et sanntidsinntrykk av en persons oppriktighet og hensikt. Modellen er bygget på observerbare kommunikasjonsformer (direkte/indirekte, rolig/aktiv, lyttende/ikke-lyttende), og plasserer atferd på et spekter fra lav til høy autentisitet, uten å tilordne moralsk verdi. Selv om RAM er utviklet av en utenfor akademia, etterstreber den forskbarhet og åpenhet for validering, og foreslås som et komplementært verktøy i politisk analyse, terapi, ledelse og sosial forståelse. Modellen legger vekt på etterfølgende empirisk testing og skal forstås som en utforskbar metrikk og hypotese som er avledet fra ekte observasjoner men går ut på at det gjøres grundig empirisk forskning i stor skala for å tilordne RAM-bokstav-kombinasjonene en verdi i spekteret av autentisitet og resulterende intensjonspolaritet.

description: The Plains-wanderer (Pedionomidae: Pedionomus torquatus) is a species of Australian shorebird that exclusively inhabits open grasslands. The reported presence of this species in the fossil deposits of Naracoorte Caves suggests that it once inhabited a wooded environment. It was therefore important to assess whether the fossils are indeed conspecific with P. torquatus before inferences on the past palaeoecological preferences of the species are made. This study reassessed the identity of fossils identified as P. torquatus using both qualitative observations and morphometric analyses to test for proportional differences of fossil specimens which might indicate taxonomic distinction. Measurements were collected from fossils attributed to Pedionomus from Blanche Cave (45–15 ka) and Victoria Fossil Cave (>400–220 ka), and compared with modern skeletal specimens through univariate and principal component analyses. Fossil elements were significantly larger than the modern specimens, although marked overlap was consistently observed, precluding unambiguous differentiation on size. No qualitative traits distinguishing the two groups could be identified. The Naracoorte fossil Pedionomus are therefore considered to represent a population of P. torquatus, wherein birds were slightly larger than extant ones. The Naracoorte deposits sampled a forest and woodland-dominated environment over the last 400,000 years, one which would be deemed unsuitable for modern Plains-wanderers, indicating that P. torquatus may have formerly occupied a much broader range of habitats than its present distribution suggests. It is inferred that the Plains-wanderer underwent a marked contraction in occupied habitat during the Holocene.

Emile Durkheim's Contribution to the Sociology of Education

Year: 2018

description: While Emile Durk.heim is well known as an important theorist in the development of modern sociology, it is noted that few sociologists and even fewer educators recognize his significant contribution to the sociology of education. This paper provides a brief historical framework which, it is argued had a great influence upon Durkheim's thinking regarding the relationship of education to society. His major theories of education are discussed under three major groupings - education developing as a social process, education's function in the socialization of the young, and education in the development of morality. Durkheim's practical applications of sociological theory to education remain timely for today's educational process.

description: Background: The Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) is a reliable and valid tool for the early detection of harmful and hazardous drug use in primary care settings when administered by interview in the general population. In university students, substance use is high, so a reliable and feasible screening instrument is needed. Objectives: To compare the computer-based ASSIST (ASSISTc) with the interview format (ASSISTi). Methods: A convenience sample with counterbalanced design was used alternating between the ASSISTi and ASSISTc with 15-day interval. Although this is not a traditional test–retest reliability study, the same statistical analysis was used: intraclass correlations (ICC), kappa (κ), and Cronbach's alpha (α) to compare the two formats. A satisfaction questionnaire was applied immediately after the second session. Results: Both formats were completed by the students (n = 809) over 15 days. The scores of involvement with all substances and with tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, and cocaine obtained with the two formats demonstrated excellent ICC (> .77). The level of agreement was considered substantial for tobacco (κ = .69) and cannabis (κ = .70) and moderate for alcohol (κ = .58). The consistency of the ASSISTc was considered satisfactory (α: .85 for tobacco, .73 for alcohol, and .87 for cannabis). The analysis of satisfaction and feasibility showed that the ASSISTi was easier to understand, but the two formats were considered similar when considering acceptability, ease of responding, and degree of intimidation. Conclusions/importance: The two formats are acceptable, the scores are comparable, and they can be used interchangeably.

description: The problems of underachievement or poor achievement among Black students has received much attention in the scholarly and professional literature. Many theories and explanations have been proposed to explain the achievement problems of Black students in general, and high-achieving Black students in particular. In this article we present an overview of that literature, giving special attention to research on peer pressure and its impact on achievement. Specifically, the phenomenon of "acting white" or "raceless" is discussed in an attempt to understand such poor achievement. Recommendations are offered for educators, parents, community leaders, and others who seek to reverse the problem of underachievement among Black students, thus ensuring their educational success.

description: The pluralistic society has marked the end of social homogeneity. It has brought about the disintegration of yesterday's certainty relating to beliefs, values, and ethics. In this context, what significance does spiritual development have for young adults? This study illustrates the variety of spiritual experiences that young adults have and the fact that they perceive these experiences as closely related to their personality development. The study also identifies four psyscho-religious profiles. The research, carried out with 168 students at the University of Ottawa, raises the question of how these young people can be best accompanied on the path toward total growth.

description: Canadian higher education institutions are currently pursuing ambitious internationalization mandates. Due to the seriousness with which higher education institutions pursue internationalization and the difficulty of delivering on such mandates, it is important that institutions develop intercultural competence skills amongst their administrative staff. This paper will explore the importance of promoting and strengthening intercultural competence for higher education staff members to deliver on internationalization mandates and outcomes. The paper will also provide an overview of organizational change management, before exploring how institutions can use change management practice to support internationalization. To conclude, the paper offers a short list of recommendations for developing intercultural competence amongst administrative staff, through the lens of organizational change management.

description: How to advance intercultural competence among university educators has become an important topic in the discourse on internationalization of higher education. However, what constitutes intercultural competence, how to promote it, and toward what end remain to be questions that are subject to debate. This conceptual article aims to contribute to the debate by 1) proposing a normative anchor based on Habermas’ theory of “principle of universalization”; 2) presenting a developmental perspective on intercultural competence in the context of higher education; and 3) introducing a discursive approach to empirical research on intercultural competence. Drawing on examples from an empirical study, we demonstrate a major challenge facing university educators in teaching students from diverse cultural backgrounds and point out the gaps in the existing models of intercultural competence. We then explain first why Habermas’ theory of “principle of universalization” may be a guiding principle for defining and practicing intercultural competence; secondly how the discourse of intercultural competence can be enriched by incorporating perspectives from psychosocial developmental theories; and thirdly why a discursive approach to research is a fruitful direction for empirical studies of intercultural competence. Finally, we provide a discussion on the implications of our proposals for teaching and learning in higher education.

Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2019

description: This paper presents an autoethnographic reflection of one graduate student’s experience while interning abroad in rural India over the course of three months. Personal stories illustrating specific attitudes are utilized to demonstrate the use of cross-cultural competencies at play during definable circumstances. The author examines and evaluates “success” through the lens of these attitudes and the impending consequences of actions and beliefs. Results of the reflective process include greater personal and professional insights, in addition to clarity of future implications on career and educational pursuits.

description: Four doctoral students and two professors from a Canadian university examined their reflections after returning from an international doctoral seminar held in Brisbane, Australia. Their research explored the transcultural experience to determine the students’ development as scholars in an international setting. Using a collaborative autoethnographic approach, the authors scrutinized their placement on Slimbach’s continuum (2005) where they found themselves “like all others, like some others, and like no others,” at different times during the seminar. The authors identify story, language, place, and time as critical themes in their own transcultural progression and placement on the continuum. Based on their collaborative inquiry and the themes that emerged, the authors provide considerations for future international doctoral seminars.

Year: 2019

description: This literature review focuses on the experiences of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) students in higher education. We pay particular attention to how ASD students transition from high school into post-secondary education and what supports are beneficial to their educational careers. Our purpose is to understand how autistic students can experience greater success in higher education. Guiding questions for our review are: 1) What factors might contribute to how autistic students learn in the context of higher education? 2) How do autistic students experience post-secondary education? The literature was selected through various sources, including Proquest, Google Scholar, ERIC, eduCAT, and CLIO. Search terms guiding the review included: autistic, autism, high-functioning, student, higher education, college, policies, and leadership. Findings of the literature review point to transition plans; person-centred supports; and innovative leadership, policies, and actions as factors that contribute to ASD students’ learning in higher education.

description: The kinetics and mechanisms of the oxidation of and of by the biological relevant radicals and were studied. The rate constants of the oxidations by both radicals are faster for the complexes than for the complexes, though the redox potentials predict the reverse order of reactivity. Surprisingly, the results point out that these two radicals react via different mechanisms. Thus, the increase in the concentration of the ligands decreases the rate constants of the oxidations by , whereas it increases the rate constants of the oxidation by . These results point out that these radicals behave differently though both are inner-sphere oxidants. The plausible mechanisms of reaction of these radicals are discussed.
