description: As the lowermost stage of the Palaeogene, the Danian is a key period for ecosystems which followed the K–Pg boundary. The Vigny quarry (Val d'Oise, France) is a co-stratotype of the Danian stage, along with the well-known one of Fakse (Denmark). The Vigny ecosystem (Bois-des-Roches site at Vigny and allied Danian localities) is the only known Cenozoic reef of the Paris Basin and is formed by hermatypic corals, unlike reefs at Fakse. Well studied by scientists, including d'Orbigny, for almost two centuries, the decapod crustacean fauna of Vigny has been much less documented than that of Fakse. Here, we describe new material of decapod crustaceans from the Danian of the Paris Basin, based on material in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (Paris). This material (six carapaces and 14 isolated claws) constitutes anomurans, brachyurans and, for the first time, axiideans in the Danian of the Paris Basin. Among brachyurans, it includes the paleoxanthopsid crab Jakobsenius cretaceus is described and the dynomenid Dromiopsis mosae. Two new brachyuran species are described from Vigny: Titanocarcinus schweitzerae sp. nov. (Tumidocarcinidae) and Dromilites montenati sp. nov. (Dromiidae). The latter is the oldest representative of its genus. The Danian decapod crustaceans of the Paris Basin are revised and their diversity is compared to that at Fakse. The enigmatic association of a limpet (Patella herbetiana) attached to a crab carapace is described and interpreted. Based on a small number of available specimens, this study reveals some specificity of the Vigny brachyuran fauna and recognizes the Paris Basin as an important region for knowledge of Danian decapod crustaceans. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:2813A14B-AE65-4296-9C3C-2B10B9C5DC6B
Education of Ethnic Minority Children; an Issue in Australian Multiculturalism
Creators: name: Foster, Lois
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Multiculturalism is the latest in a series of ideologies which have been developed to control the social and political consequences of cultural and linguistic pluralism in Australian society. Education is seen as the key element in achieving a multicultural attitude. The paper argues that, on the manifest level, there has been a transition from migrant to multicultural education, but that, on the latent level, forces favouring the status qua have led to a de facto 'ethnic' education stream within the education system.

The Case Study in Educational Research: A Review of Selected Literature
Creators: name: Merriam, Sharan B.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: There is a growing interest in using a case study approach in educational research where questions of meaning and process can be answered only through understanding the context in which they exist. Unfortunately, most basic research courses do not deal with the case study in any substantive way. Consequently, persons interested in using this approach must become apprentices to someone experienced in the method and/or search out material that will offer them guidance in the use of this method. The purpose of this article is to review selected materials on the case study so that readers can access sources most relevant to their needs. The following three topics are addressed in this review: (I) characteristics of, and philosophical assumption ions underlying, the case study; (2) the mechanics of conducting a case study; and (3) concerns about reliability, validity, and generalizability in using the case study method.

Ensemble Learning: A Lens for Group Learning in Schools
Creators: name: Newton, Paul M.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Organizational learning posits a relationship between individual learning and group learning. The various processes of organizational learning and the characteristics of learning organizations have been given much attention, and the notion of the operational unit of learning, the group, has been approached from a variety of perspectives. The most common nomenclature for this unit is that of team. Although the notion of team has been given much attention, the power of the term has been lost as some managers assume that groups or collections of individuals will necessarily become teams (Katzenbach & Smith, 1993). It is perhaps because of the universality of the term that the application of teams tends to be somewhat pallid. For this reason, it may be of value to illustrate the nature of teams through the lens of a specific type of team with which readers will have only a passing familiarity - the musical ensemble. This paper argues that the notion of the learning ensemble can provide valuable insights into cooperation and collaboration in schools.

Year: 2018

description: A boat building metaphor is presented as a way of exploring teachers' development of pedagogy and teaching methods. People in these two professions create their own knowledge of what makes a good product. Construction and use influence design on the part of both teachers and boat builders as they incorporate changes in their future designs, depending on how successful they determine their current product to be. This is also accomplished by interpreting rules, that act as guides, from their own community of practice. By using a new context, that of boat building, educators may construct uncommon meanings and view teaching in a way that is new to them.

The Intentional Teacher: The Mediator of Meaning Making
Creators: name: Roessingh, Hetty
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Current educational discourse promotes the notion that our instructional efforts must focus on helping our learners make meaning. Practitioners have adopted myriad ways for realizing this goal. The arrival of significant numbers of English as a second language (ESL) learners in our classrooms signals the need to reconsider what we mean by "making meaning." Dropout, failure, and underachievement of academically competent ESL learners suggest that we are failing to educate them at the level where meaning resides. An integrated framework for thinking about meaning highlights the need to transcend our commonly held views of the journey and the destination. Along the way, perhaps we will gain insight into the needs of other youngsters in their struggle to make sense of the world of school and the classrooms where they spend so much of their time.

The Move to a Pluralistic Political Vision of Education
Creators: name: Parkison, Paul T.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Democratic pluralism requires individuals who can evaluate the groups with which they are associated and critically examine the identity that these groups help them to develop. The importance of creating institutions that do not socialize their members based upon epistemological systems that assert certainty and validity for one specific world-view coincides with the demands of pluralist democracy. Education plays a vital role in the facilitation of this type of critique and identity formation. Being able to critique our individual and group identities is crucial to the democratic mission. Shifting to an educational paradigm that prioritizes the democratic mission and the demands of a pluralist society is essential to the well-being of society. A hermeneutic paradigm provides the necessary shift in perspective and foundation. The discussion presented attempts to demonstrate the potentiality of this paradigm shift for transforming education within a pluralist democracy.

description: The present study investigated whether another individual’s gaze direction influences an observer’s affective responses. In Experiment 1, subjective self-ratings and an affective priming paradigm were employed to examine how participants explicitly and implicitly, respectively, evaluated the affective valence of direct gaze, averted gaze, and closed eyes. The explicit self-ratings showed that participants evaluated closed eyes more positively than direct gaze. However, the implicit priming task showed an inverse pattern of results indicating that direct gaze was automatically evaluated more positively than closed eyes were. Experiment 2 confirmed that the opposite patterns of results between the two tasks were not due to differences in presentation times of the gaze stimuli. The results provide evidence for automatic affective reactions to eye gaze and indicate a dissociation between explicit and implicit affective evaluations of eyes and gaze direction.

Abstract of this talk

Most research datasets in archaeology do not contain personal data; after all the study subjects died centuries, if not millennia, ago. Archaeological datasets do contain another type of -potentially- sensitive data though: location data could aid looters to find archaeological sites and execute illegal excavations, destroying the archaeology. Yet for this inherently spatial discipline, location data are often essential for understanding and reusing a dataset. A similar sensitivity of location data can also be found in disciplines like ecology (location data of rare species) or geology (location data of precious materials). In this short talk I will discuss what strategies are used in archaeology for dealing with sharing location data, and whether or not sharing location data actually makes a difference to preventing looting.

description: Background: Manual delineation of structures in head and neck cancers is an extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive procedure. With centers worldwide moving towards the use of intensity-modulated radiotherapy and adaptive radiotherapy, there is a need to explore and analyze auto-segmentation (AS) software, in the search for a faster yet accurate method of structure delineation. Material and methods: A search for studies published after 2005 comparing AS and manual delineation in contouring organ at risks (OARs) and target volume for head and neck patients was conducted. The reviewed results were then categorized into arguments proposing and opposing the review title. Results: Ten studies were reviewed and derived results were assessed in terms of delineation time-saving ability and extent of delineation accuracy. The influence of other external factors (observer variability, AS strategies adopted and stage of disease) were also considered. Results were conflicting with some studies demonstrating great potential in replacing manual delineation whereas other studies illustrated otherwise. Six of 10 studies investigated time saving; the largest time saving reported being 59%. However, one study found that additional time of 15.7% was required for AS. Four studies reported AS contours to be between ‘reasonably good’ and ‘better quality’ than the clinically used contours. Remaining studies cited lack of contrast, AS strategy used and the need for physician intervention as limitations in the standardized use of AS. Discussion: The studies demonstrated significant potential of AS as a useful delineation tool in contouring target volumes and OARs in head and neck cancers. However, it is evident that AS cannot totally replace manual delineation in contouring some structures in the head and neck and cannot be used independently without human intervention. It is also emphasized that delineation studies should be conducted locally so as to evaluate the true value of AS in head and neck cancers in a specific center.

Aspergillus carbonarius

description: Aspergillus carbonarius is an important plant pathogen that affects the vine cultivation causing sour rot in grapes and producing ochratoxin A (OTA), a mycotoxin with carcinogenic properties. The control of the fungus is particularly difficult and requires multiple applications of systemic fungicides (i.e. cyprodinil /fludioxonil). The objective of the current study was to evaluate various biological and chemical formulations to control sour rot and OTA production. Experiments were carried out in two greek varieties of vine, Malagousia and Savvatiano, during the 2017 and 2018 years with the following formulations: 1) Grape yeasts from the collection of Laboratory of Plant Pathology of AUA isolated from vineyards, 2) Botector®, a commercial biopesticide containing the yeast Aureobasidium pullulans, with a mode of action that affects the inhibition of the pathogen colonization for space or nutrients, 3) Trianum®, a biopesticide based on the fungus Trichoderma harzianum which mainly acts by complex mechanisms of mycoparasitism, 4) Tusal®, a biological formulation based on T. asperellum and T. atroviride, 5) Serenade Max®, a biofungicide inducing the defence mechanisms of plants and promotes the plant growth, 6) Vacciplant®, a commercial formulation containing laminarine, a substance that acts as an inducer of plant defence, 7) EM-Effective Microorganisms® a mixture of various beneficial microorganisms, 8) Remedier®, a biological fungicide based on T. asperellum and Trichoderma gamsii, 9) Mevalone®, a formulation containing essential oils and 10) the chemical pesticides: Switch®, Quadris®, Geoxe®, Chorus®, Cantus® and Scala®. The results of the comparative study of the various formulations for the control of ochratoxigenic fungi in the vineyard will be presented.

description: Perchlorate is a thyroid hormone-disrupting compound and is reported to occur widely in the environment. Little is known on human exposure to perchlorate in Kuwait. In this study, 218 water samples, 618 commonly consumed foodstuffs and 532 urine samples collected from Kuwait were analysed to assess the exposure of the Kuwaiti population to perchlorate. For the estimation of daily intake of perchlorate, food consumption rates were obtained from the National Nutrition Survey in the State of Kuwait (NNSSK). The results showed that leafy vegetables accounted for a major share of perchlorate exposure among the Kuwaiti population at 0.062 µg kg–1 bw day–1 (36.2%), followed by fruits at 0.026 µg kg–1 bw day–1 (15.3%) and non-leafy vegetables at 0.017 µg kg–1 bw day–1 (10.1%). The urinary perchlorate geometric mean (GM) concentrations ranged from 8.51 to 17.1 µg l–1 for the five age groups, which were higher than those reported in other countries. The estimated urinary perchlorate exposure for the Kuwaiti general population was 0.42 µg kg–1 bw day–1, which was higher than that reported for the United States. The dietary intake of perchlorate for the Kuwaiti population ranged from 0.14 to 0.67 µg kg–1 bw day–1 for the five age groups, with a mean total daily intake of 0.17 µg kg–1 bw day–1 for the general population. The highest estimated dietary mean daily intake of perchlorate (0.67 µg kg–1 bw day–1) was found for children at 3–5 years. The estimated dietary perchlorate exposure in Kuwait is higher than the recommended mean reference dose (RfD) but lower than that of provisional maximum tolerable daily intake (PMTDI) set by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA).

description: The interaction between two organophosphate insecticides (monocrotophos and phosphamidon) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) under physiological conditions is investigated by UV-Vis, fluorescence (steady state, synchronous and three-dimensional) and circular dichroism spectroscopy. The UV-Vis and fluorescence spectral studies indicate the formation of complex between BSA and the insecticides. The complex formation is a spontaneous process as evidenced by negative free energy changes. The positive values of entropy changes reveal that hydrophobic forces played the major role in the interaction process, which is well supported by the molecular docking studies. Synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence investigations suggest that there is no significant change in the conformation of BSA upon binding with the insecticides, which is strongly supported by the results of circular dichroism spectral studies.

description: Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) are one of the most produced NPs in the world. Their toxicity has been studied for a decade using acute exposure scenarios, i.e. high exposure concentrations and short exposure times. In the present study, we evaluated their genotoxic impact using long-term and low concentration exposure conditions. A549 alveolar epithelial cells were continuously exposed to 1–50 μg/mL TiO2-NPs, 86% anatase/14% rutile, 24 ± 6 nm average primary diameter, for up to two months. Their cytotoxicity, oxidative potential and intracellular accumulation were evaluated using MTT assay and reactive oxygen species measurement, transmission electron microscopy observation, micro-particle-induced X-ray emission and inductively-coupled plasma mass spectroscopy. Genotoxic impact was assessed using alkaline and Fpg-modified comet assay, immunostaining of 53BP1 foci and the cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus assay. Finally, we evaluated the impact of a subsequent exposure of these cells to the alkylating agent methyl methanesulfonate. We demonstrate that long-term exposure to TiO2-NPs does not affect cell viability but causes DNA damage, particularly oxidative damage to DNA and increased 53BP1 foci counts, correlated with increased intracellular accumulation of NPs. In addition, exposure over 2 months causes cellular responses suggestive of adaptation, characterized by decreased proliferation rate and stabilization of TiO2-NP intracellular accumulation, as well as sensitization to MMS. Taken together, these data underline the genotoxic impact and sensitization effect of long-term exposure of lung alveolar epithelial cells to low levels of TiO2-NPs.

description: The number of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) being exploited commercially is growing rapidly, due to the novel properties they exhibit. Clearly, it is important to understand and minimize any risks to health or the environment posed by the presence of ENMs. Data-driven models that decode the relationships between the biological activities of ENMs and their physicochemical characteristics provide an attractive means of maximizing the value of scarce and expensive experimental data. Although such structure–activity relationship (SAR) methods have become very useful tools for modelling nanotoxicity endpoints (nanoSAR), they have limited robustness and predictivity and, most importantly, interpretation of the models they generate is often very difficult. New computational modelling tools or new ways of using existing tools are required to model the relatively sparse and sometimes lower quality data on the biological effects of ENMs. The most commonly used SAR modelling methods work best with large datasets, are not particularly good at feature selection, can be relatively opaque to interpretation, and may not account for nonlinearity in the structure–property relationships. To overcome these limitations, we describe the application of a novel algorithm, a genetic programming-based decision tree construction tool (GPTree) to nanoSAR modelling. We demonstrate the use of GPTree in the construction of accurate and interpretable nanoSAR models by applying it to four diverse literature datasets. We describe the algorithm and compare model results across the four studies. We show that GPTree generates models with accuracies equivalent to or superior to those of prior modelling studies on the same datasets. GPTree is a robust, automatic method for generation of accurate nanoSAR models with important advantages that it works with small datasets, automatically selects descriptors, and provides significantly improved interpretability of models.

description: This article reports the conclusions of a study that examined the knowledge teachers need for successful implementation of inclusion in K-12 schools. Focus groups comprised of individuals experienced with inclusion were convened to discuss what prospective teachers need to know or be able to do to be successful in inclusive settings. The data highlight the importance of adequate teacher preparation, effective communication, and collaboration skills among educational professionals and parents. The recommendations that emerge from the study provide suggestions for enhancing adaptations to curriculum and pedagogy, as well as changes in courses and field experiences in preservice teacher education.

Inclusion - Not Segregation or Integration Is Where a Student with Special Needs Belongs
Creators: name: Dixon, Sheryle
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This paper will ask the question "Where does Katie belong in the school system?" Should she be educated in a segregated or an integrated classroom? Or should Katie be included in a classroom of students, students with typical abilities as well as disabilities? What do we mean by segregation, integration, and inclusion? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach? Can one approach be justified for all students or should the severity of a student's disability determine the approach? Other factors that have been cited when arguing in favour of one approach over another include costs, training, effect on typical students, and so forth. I will argue from a philosophical perspective that the underlying reason for choosing one approach over the others is a philosophical one, having to do with what it means to be human and to belong in a civilized society.

The Notion of Bullying Through the Lens of Foucault and Critical Theory
Creators: name: Walton, Gerald
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Bullying is a high profile topic of discussion among educators, administrators, researchers, parents, and students. Empirical research on bullying and resulting intervention and prevention programs provide understandings of a specific set of behaviours of children that has come to be known as bullying. These understandings, and related programs and policies, are limited by an emphasis on individualization and behaviouralism. I advocate for a broader framework of understanding, one that also provides analyses on power relations of political, historical, and ideological contexts that give rise to environments in which bullying occurs. I discuss the application of Foucault's discursive analysis, in combination with critical theory, to enhance empirical conceptualizations of bullying.

description: Cerium (Ce) is becoming a popular metal for use in electrochemical applications. When in the form of cerium oxide (CeO2), Ce can exist in both 3 + and 4 + valence states, acting as an ideal catalyst. Previous in vitro and in vivo evidence have demonstrated that CeO2 has either anti- or pro-oxidant properties, possibly due to the ability of the nanoparticles to transition between valence states. Therefore, we chose to chemically modify the nanoparticles to shift the valence state toward 3+. During the hydrothermal synthesis process, 10 mol% gadolinium (Gd) and 20 mol% Gd, were substituted into the lattice of the CeO2 nanoparticles forming a perfect solid solution with various A-site valence states. These two Gd-doped CeO2 nanoparticles were compared to pure CeO2 nanoparticles. Preliminary characteristics indicated that doping results in minimal size and zeta potential changes but alters valence state. Following characterization, male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 0.5 or 1.0 mg/kg nanoparticles via a single intratracheal instillation. Animals were sacrificed and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and various tissues were collected to determine the effect of valence state and oxygen vacancies on toxicity 1-, 7-, or 84-day post-exposure. Results indicate that damage, as measured by elevations in lactate dehydrogenase, occurred within 1-day post-exposure and was sustained 7-day post-exposure, but subsided to control levels 84-day post-exposure. Furthermore, no inflammatory signaling or lipid peroxidation occurred following exposure with any of the nanoparticles. Our results implicate that valence state has a minimal effect on CeO2 nanoparticle toxicity in vivo.
Vygotsky: Une Alternative Psychope dagogique
Creators: name: Desjarlais, Lionel
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: In this essay, the author attempts to underscore some of the most important theoretical positions held by Vygotsky, a Russian psychologist and educator. After briefly sketching the philosophical foundations that inspired most of Vygotsky 's works, the author discusses some of the major psychological theories of Vygotsky that seem to have relevance to many of today 's educational questions. The theoretical formulations presented in this essay concerned the following: cognitive development, development of scientific and spontaneous concepts, the zone of proximal development and the relationship between language and thought. When appropriate, comparisons with Piaget were made and educational implications were underlined.

description: Exposures in realistic environmental conditions are essential to properly assess the effects of emerging pollutants on ecosystems. While ceria nanoparticles (nCeO2) production and use are expanding quickly, ecotoxicity studies remain very scarce. In this study, we set up experimental systems reproducing a simplified ecosystem to assess the effects of a chronic exposure to citrate-coated nCeO2 (ci-CeO2) and bare nCeO2 (ba-CeO2) on the freshwater mussel Dreissena polymorpha using an integrated multibiomarker approach. The fate of nanoparticles was tightly monitored to properly characterize the exposure. Organisms were exposed for 3 weeks and sampled weekly for biomarker analysis. Mussel filter-feeding activity resulted in significant removal of nCeO2 from the water column. At the same time, bioaccumulation was low, reaching its maximum in the first week. Mussels bioaccumulated ci-CeO2 three times more than ba-CeO2, probably due to coating-related differences in their behavior in the water column and in organisms. Meanwhile, biomarker results were integrated and synthesized using linear discriminant analysis, highlighting that pi-glutathione-S-transferase (piGST) mRNA, catalase (CAT) activity and lysosomal system were the most impacted of the seven biomarkers singled out by the discriminant analysis. These biomarker responses indicated that mussels exposed to both forms of nCeO2 were stressed and differentiate from the controls. Moreover, they responded differently to ba-CeO2 and ci-CeO2 exposure. However, biomarkers used in the experimental conditions of this study did not indicate severe nCeO2 toxicity on mussels, as cellular damage biomarkers and mussel filtering activity were left unimpaired. However, further studies are needed to investigate if the slight perturbations observed could lead to populational impacts in the long term.
From Culturally Defined to Self-Defined: Career Stages of Women Administrators
Creators: name: Marshall, Catharine
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This article begins with a literature review which establishes the need for research which neither asks 'what 's wrong with women; why don't they aspire?" nor " who are the bad guys and how are they discriminating unfairly?" Instead research must ask "what are the salient organizational socialization processes which enable people to move up in administration and how do these processes affect women?" It then describes an ethnographic study designed to address this question. The study was of twenty-five women in educational administration careers. The research revealed three stages crucial to mobility into the highest administrative positions. Women must move from being Culturally Defined through Transition to being Self-Defined.

The Allure of Rationalism in Educational Thought: The Case of Imre Lakatos
Creators: name: Welch, Anthony R.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Theories of Science have been a significant source of inspiration for scholars concerned with educational theorizing. The current article deals with the rationalist influence on educational thought, in particular the appeal of Imre Lakatos to educational theorists of the last few years. It is argued that rationalist philosophy of science transcends political barriers, so that the paradox of marrying an idealist anti-Marxist philosophy of science, to an anti-idealist Marxist world view, is suppressed.

Beyond the Material and the Mundane: Spirituality and Transcending
Creators: name: Bailin, Sharon
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: In this paper I explore whether the concept of spirituality can have meaning for me as a secular individual. I begin by arguing that existing attempts to translate the idea of spirituality into secular terms are problematic in a number of ways. Nonetheless, I go on to argue that there is value in some of the ideas invoked in its name, in particular the concept of transcendence. We are beings who go beyond our material situation. We are able to imagine the future, envision possibilities, create ideals, and also to instantiate some of these possibilities, to realize some of these ideals through creative action.

description: This paper explores the importance of including spirituality in the curriculum. It describes how the absence of spirituality in the curriculum has left a void in the official curriculum of public education in English-speaking Canada. The paper describes examples of programs that provide opportunities for students to explore life's ultimate questions of heart and soul. After considering some obstacles, it then proposes guidelines for including the spiritual dimension of human life in public education in ways that do not indoctrinate but allow students to investigate how individuals and cultures have addressed spiritual concerns and issues.

Repressing Lacan: Relating a Psychology of Meaning to the Discourse of Second Language Education
Creators: name: Mantero, Miguel
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Grounded in socioculturalist theory, this article further defines the individual psychological responses of students in formal, second language education settings according to Jacque Lacan's theory of language. By placing Lacan's concepts of repression, the signifier, and the signified within outline of the practice of education we are able to approach language learning from a psychological perspective and not just from a purely linguistic stance. While analyzing the theoretical constructs of goal-directed action and the activity setting, this paper supports and builds on the role of language as a tool in the construction of activity and consciousness during negotiation of meaning in light of Lacan's contribution to the understanding of discourse in second language education. Finally, the present work clarifies and applies the Sausseurian constructs of the signifier and the signified as interpreted by Lacan to second language education theory.
