Toward Appropriate Preparation for Standardized Achievement Testing
Creators: name: Volante, Louis
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Standardized achievement testing has become a pervasive feature of schooling in Canada. Unfortunately, the pressure to do well on these tests has facilitated teachers' utilization of inappropriate test preparation practices. This paper distinguishes between appropriate and inappropriate test preparation by examining three key issues: time spent directly on test preparation, content of preparation instruction, and the teaching of test-taking skills. Steps are proposed for test developers as well as individuals at the policy, district, and school level, to help facilitate teachers' utilization of appropriate strategies. The latter are essential if we are to promote authentic learning and strengthen the validity of standardized achievement measures.

description: This paper explores how teachers manage standardized testing in schools. A survey was distributed among 20 elementary, middle, and high school teachers in a semi-rural community of Western New York. The data gathered from the survey responses reveal important information about the impact of testing on teaching. Standardized testing affects many of the teachers' focus on instruction. In many cases, teachers prepare their students year-round. Teachers provide test-related, preparative instruction, which governs most of their curricula. A few teachers admit that testing allows them to develop more focused teaching experiences for their students. Insights gleaned from this research study reveal the need to address the many challenges teachers encounter related to standardized testing.

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

description: Teaching and the process of developing curriculum, have been compared to the art of jazz improvisation. While similarities between the two exist, there are important differences that make the metaphor inaccurate. It is suggested here that because of the outward simplicity of teaching, the characteristics of teacher thinking and of those who become teachers, and the nature of the relationship of the teacher and audience, a more appropriate comparison might be to blues music and musicians. The article also suggests a distinction between the source and usefulness of what is called here emergent metaphors (those that grow out of or emerge from a teacher's language and experience) and ascribed metaphors (those that are constructed by the researcher describe an idea or behavior). Finally, implications of the metaphor for professional development, the preparation of teachers, and the success of school reform are offered.

description: Chlorpyrifos is a commonly used organophosphate pesticide. Its extensive use and associated serious soil and water contamination have gained increasing environmental concern. Biodegradation is a promising way to remediate chlorpyrifos contamination. There are many reports on various chlorpyrifos degrading microorganisms, but only a few on biodegradation of chlorpyrifos by consortia. Hence, the present study attempted to assemble a novel bacterial consortium C5 for the biodegradation of chlorpyrifos. The 16S rRNA gene-based molecular analysis revealed that the bacterial consortium consisted of Staphylococcus warneri CPI 2, Pseudomonas putida CPI 9 and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia CPI 15. Optimization of chlorpyrifos degradation by the consortium C5, using a Box–Behnken design, was carried out taking into account four important variables: temperature, pH, the initial concentration of chlorpyrifos and time of incubation. C5 is capable of giving 90% degradation of chlorpyrifos (125 ppm) in 8 days of incubation under optimized conditions of pH (7) and temperature (30°C). Growth curve and degradation study under optimized conditions confirmed that consortium could improve the biodegradation potential. From these results, we conclude that the novel consortium C5 of three species can be used to eliminate chlorpyrifos from various environmental compartments and can be implemented in bioreactors in a cost-effective, safe and environmentally friendly manner.

description: In the contemporary context, the discussion in regional and global forums on individuals rights protection has gained more strength, from the moment that the national states have agreed to discuss the subject no longer as exclusively internal matter. This boosted the normative and institutional development of international human rights law and humanitarian law, although in different measures, to a new and praiseworthy stage. The application of humanistic rules in international society shows, however, still discriminatory and selective, which highlights the peculiar character of international law, strongly influenced by the International Relations and based on the principle of state sovereignty and the principles deriving from it. Thus, the objective of this article is to situate the complex relationship that involves human values ​​in international law, from its Westphalian and realistic Marxist perspective that seeks to contextualize them as the product of a historical process inserted into an interstate system, governed the logical theory of sovereignty and dynamic practice of political realism, which differs diametrically internal legal structuring of states.
Teaching and Rationality: The Case of Jim Keegstra

Year: 2018

description: This paper discusses two conceptual relations between teaching and rationality and uses the case of Jim Keegstra, a teacher who was dismissed for his unorthodox teaching, such as that the Holocaust never occurred, to illustrate the points. Firstly, Keegstra failed to promote rationality and thereby failed to educate his students. Secondly, it is shown that in teaching situations there is a logical presupposition of rationality which Keegstra did not meet and which ironically contributed to his "success".

Legal Reasoning, Recipes, Ethics, Values , Educational Administration and Applied Philosophy
Creators: name: Kaminsky, James S.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This article is an investigation in applied philosophy. It argues that the traditional ideas that philosophy directly empowers practice is misleading and unhelpful. Using educational administration as a starting point, the author addresses the question of how theory, in this case philosophical theory, might be applied to practice in the realm of ethics and/or values. A methodology for this addressing of ethical and/or value questions in educational administration is constructed using examples from legal reasoning and Bunge 's discussion of technology. In the closing sections of this paper, an outline of applied philosophy is offered. It is argued that in the realm of morals or in any of the other traditional areas of philosophical thought, philosophy can be applied to the practice of educating (although not directly). This methodology is called "bracketed neglect".

description: Seed-transmissible epichloid fungal endophytes are best known for their roles as defensive mutualists in cool-season grasses. Historically, the discovery of fungal endophytes was driven by investigations of plant toxicity to livestock, followed by extensive study of their alkaloids and protection against insects and nematodes. Epichloae can produce four classes of alkaloids: ergot alkaloids, lolines (saturated aminopyrrolizidines), indole–diterpenes, and peramine. It is increasingly evident that these hereditary symbionts have much more diverse chemical profiles both in individual populations and between them. To this end, differences in chemotypic profiles of these symbionts may translate to different evolutionary and environmental advantages across plant species, as well as influences on phenotypic measurements. In an ecological sense, the chemotypic diversity within the species may reflect frequency-dependent selection for the alkaloids, which can be metabolically expensive to produce. To date, there has yet to be extensive study on the alkaloid profiles of the fungal symbiont Epichloë brachyelytri in the cool-grass host Brachyelytrum erectum. This project aims to initiate the required genomic population analyses to comprehend endophyte frequency and chemotypic diversity among and between populations throughout the state of Kentucky.

In a previous survey of B. erectum in the Kentucky Palisades, 50% of the plants had fungal endophytes, with two endophyte genotypes that differed in alkaloid profiles. In the investigation, 21 populations of B. erectum were sampled and the genetic and chemotypic diversity analyzed by high-throughput tiller extraction and multiplex PCR. Biosynthesis genes for ergot alkaloids (e.g., chanoclavine and ergovaline), aminopyrrolizidines (e.g., lolines), and pyrrolopyrazines (e.g., peramine), as well as genes for mating type and phylogenetic barcodes, were interrogated to determine endophyte presence and diversity. Morphological measures for all samples were also assessed, and six populations were sampled for transcriptome analysis. The results of these studies will expand the understanding of how endophyte frequency distributions and genetic diversity can influence functional and phylogenetic diversity.

description: SO2 emissions are a major source of uncertainty for climate model studies. From the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) historical data and representative concentration pathway (RCP) data is readily available for use in climate models. However the contribution from observational data ceases after 2005 and therefore simulations of the recent past are dependent on up to 10 year old projection data. Here the authors have made use of more recent observations and projection scenarios from the ECLIPSE_v5a global emissions dataset. The 5 yearly SO2 land observations have been combined with shipping data, split into surface and high level emissions, interpolated in time to give monthly values and converted to N96 in the data format used by the MetOffice HadCM3 family of climate models. Data is available for the baseline current legislation (CLE), climate 2 degrees CLE and Maximally Technically Feasible reduction scenarios with data covering the period 1990 - 2050. To broaden the reuse of this data for other climate models both MetOffice ancillary files and NetCDF output files are included as well as two different methods by which the allocation of different emitters to the low and high level layers.

L'identité professionnelle, qui émerge des expériences de l'acteur dt des interactions produites dans le contexte de travail, est conçue comme un mouvement à la fois collectif et individuel mettant en scène des processus d'affiliation et d'indientifïcation mais aussi de distinction et de différenciation. Les résultats reposent sur de entrevues semidirigées menées auprès de quatre enseignants d'un CFER. Ils font ressortir que l'identité professionnelle de des enseignants se distingue de celle des enseignants des écoles "régulières" dans la mesure ou elle s'articule autour des quatre fonctions majeures soit celles de pédagogue, de travailleur social, de technicien et d'entrepeneur.

Year: 2018

description: In 1972 the National Indian Brotherhood (NIB) issued a landmark document, Indian Control of Indian Education that brought a new beginning to First Nations education throughout Canada. There has been a remarkable increase in First Nations-controlled schools since 1975. This paper traces the historical background of the Canadian government's education policy for First Nations and uses a First Nations reserve community as a point of reference to examine First Nations' viewpoints on local control of schooling and how to mobilize for the solution of problems concerning school governance. The paper addresses the following specific issues: (a) powers the government of Canada bestows on First Nations in the control of their school system, (b) powers community people perceive they possess in the control of education, (c) the actual structures that the community employs in the control of education, and (d) First Nations top priority needs in school governance and suggested specific strategies for dealing with each of the priority needs.

Damascus: The Morphology and Transformation of an Islamic City
Creators: name: Saad, Rand Mazen
Publisher: name: Manara - Qatar Research Repository
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 50
subject: Philosophy and religious studies

description: This thesis examines the morphological transformation of Damascus’s urban fabric from the Roman era to the Umayyad era, culminating in the formation of the Islamic city. In addition, the study investigates the Great Mosque of Damascus as the symbolic edifice that impacted the city’s public image. A mixed qualitative, interpretive, and historical methodological approach is employed to analyze the city’s urban identity. Considering that a city is a place for people to live and should serve all of their needs and economic development, the study adopts modern theoretical concepts for understanding the built environment and image of the city, such as urban identity, urban structure, and public meaning. The research probes Henri Lefebvre’s social space theory and Kevin Lynch’s five components of cities to define the case of Damascus. The findings indicate that Damascus’ urban character is not a permanent object and has developed throughout history and across various civilizations, including the Arameans, Hellenistic, Byzantine, Roman, and Islamic. Moreover, the earliest pagan structure continuously altered until it became a mosque. Damascus held different urban identities and public images in each era, creating a layer that protected its current character. As a result, Damascus experienced the ‘morphogenesis’ of the Roman city into an Islamic city, an urban palimpsest that also gave the city its importance over time. The contemporary context represents a city plan that adopts Islamic city features and transforms the urban fabric with the structures built under a host of Muslim rulers. These rulers focused on the Great Mosque of Damascus as a symbolic structure in the city and as a place of public worship. It played an educational, religious, political, and social role in daily Muslim life.

description: Animal-based (APF) and plant-based protein rich foods (PPF) have long been debated on their effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Observational research often associates higher consumption of APF (red meat) with an increased risk of developing CVD. In contrast, PPF (nuts, seeds, and soy products) have been consistently linked with favorable outcomes regarding CVD risk. However, experimental research suggests that when lean, unprocessed APF is consumed as part of a healthy eating pattern (HEP) it could lead to neutral or beneficial effects on CVD outcomes. To address the gaps in literature, a randomized controlled trial was performed to evaluate the effects of proportioning APF (red meat) and PPF (nuts, seeds, and soy products) within a U.S.-style HEP on CVD risk factors in middle-aged adults at higher risk for developing CVD. Participants consumed two out of the three diets varying in APF and PPF ratios. The diet moderate in APF and PPF and the diet higher in PPF led to significant reductions in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), a key CVD biomarker. The diet higher in APF did not lead to a significant reduction in LDL-C; however, it did not negate the effects of the HEP. All diets led to reductions in blood pressure, regardless of protein source. These findings support the idea that diet quality and balance in a HEP matter more than the elimination of specific foods types for long-?term health.

description: The lanthanum-based metal macrocyclic framework, MMCF-3, where the ligand is 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N′,N″,N′″-tetra-p-methylbenzoic acid, has been synthesized and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. MMCF-3 forms in closely packed 2-D sheets. In MMCF-3, the azamacrocyclic-based ligand coordinates tetradentate to four separate lanthanum ions via its carboxylate groups, leaving the macrocycle site unoccupied. The lanthanum ions are 10-coordinate with a distorted bi-capped square anti-prism coordination environment. The vacancy of the macrocycle site within the framework encourages the utilization of the framework as a cation receptor. The availability of these sites allows for the possibility to coordinate to newly introduced metals to produce heterometallic frameworks, which could exhibit intriguing properties.

description: Musical psychology is a scientific discipline which draws from musicology and psychology and studies musical behavior and experience. It is already well-established abroad, but in the Czech Republic there is only a small number of researchers and the field suffers a lack of psychodiagnostic instruments. In this thesis, we performed an adaptation of an existing British questionnaire Gold-MSI for general public. It measures so-called musical sophistication (in the original The Goldsmiths Musical Sophistication Index). Forward and back-translation was performed, with regard to linguistic and cultural differences of Czech population. The whole process was consulted with authors of the test, psychologists and both musicians and non-musicians. Within a pilot study, good psychometric qualities of the questionnaire were confirmed, as well as some correlations of its subscales with Big Five personality traits. Consequently, we present several ways of utilization of the test in teaching practice. The proposed adaptation of the Gold-MSI questionnaire may become the foundation for its future standardization in Czech population.

description: The HSP90 is an abundant chaperone protein that is conserved in all eukaryotes. The main function of HSP90 is to assist other proteins to fold properly. In this study, we uncovered and analysed nine OsHSP90 (OsHSP90-1--OsHSP90-9) family members in rice Nipponbare, in which three distinct motifs were identified. All the HSP90 proteins were classified into three major groups (I, II, III) by phylogenetic analysis. The expression of OsHSP90 family in 10 tissues was examined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). OsHSP90-4, OsHSP90-6 and OsHSP90-7 had high expression, while OsHSP90-5 and OsHSP90-8 had very low expression across almost all 10 samples. The gene that encodes OsHSP90-1 was preferentially expressed in embryo at 14 days after flowering. It has been reported that some heat shock proteins were up-regulated in response to heat or other stresses. However, in our study the expression pattern of OsHSP90 genes is heterogeneous under a range of stress conditions. The expression of OsHSP90-2 and OsHSP90-4 was up-regulated under drought, salt, cold and heat conditions, while the expression of OsHSP90-3 and OsHSP90-5 was down-regulated under salt and drought conditions. OsHSP90-7 and OsHSP90-9 were down-regulated only under drought conditions. OsHSP90-6 did not change its expression across all conditions compared to control. Overexpression of OsHSP90-2 in E. coli could enhance cell viability and significantly improved resistance to heat, high salinity and drought stress conditions. The results presented here may provide new insights into the function of OsHSP90 family in rice.

description: The recognition of the human rights at international level, with the creation of protection systems, brought a centrality to the doctrine of human rights, which started to influence and impose conditions to the application of the law in all spheres. The private international law, which is typically characterized by offering regulatory solutions to conflicts of laws between states, has been transforming and adapting to this new reality. One of the most important institutes of discipline, public policy, could gain new dimensions in the light of the rights of the human person, as these rights emerge in importance and are increasingly influencing all branches of international law. This article seeks to analyze, beyond the typical function of the public policy exception, used in the conflict of laws, its possible role of promoter of internationally recognized human rights, in the wake of the theory of Professor Jacob Dolinger. The focus of the study is essentially a search for content to the concept of "universal public order" crafted by the jurist, departing from the reflection on the essential values ​​of the international community.

description: A novel drug delivery system was developed through the modification of MSNs (mesoporous silica nanoparticles) with β-CD (β-Cyclodextrin). The experiment results demonstrated that the cytotoxicity of this drug delivery system was very low, and the doxorubicin loading ratio was ~27.36%. The behaviour of drug release was pH dependent and it can be used as the drug controlling releasing in cancer cell. The combination of doxorubicin and this drug delivery system (MSN-NH2-CD-Biotin) could arrest the cancer cell in G2 phase, and it could make the cancer cell apoptosis by doxorubicin more effectively.
Awakening to School Community: Buddhist Philosophy for Educational Reform
Creators: name: Gates, Gordon S.
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: Recent critiques of educational reform have called for new theories of community. Buddhist principles of attention, interdependence, emptiness, and compassion are examined and evaluated against assumptions, arguments, and advice offered in current reform literature. Buddhism redirects educational reform toward the practice of meditation. Buddhism knits into a seamless philosophy freedom, compassion, and engagement for individuals in community. The policies, procedures, and practices of educating children in schools given Buddhist teachings center on paying attention, being compassionate, experiencing freedom, and living together with others rather than some hoped for but never achieved vision of success.

Pedagogy of the Heart: Ruminations on Living Poetically
Creators: name: Leggo, Carl

Year: 2018

description: Each year I teach several dozen more student-teachers as they complete their Bachelor of Education degrees and prepare to be teachers. By the end of the second week in the Bachelor of Education program, the student-teachers are always overwhelmed with how much they need to learn in order to be effective teachers. Like a drumming chorus that punctuates their days, they are overwhelmed by the proliferating facts, skills, and strategies that are all equally clamoring for attention, all equally essential. In my work with pre-service teachers I constantly live a dilemma. Student-teachers express a pressing practical agenda: What do I need to know in order to succeed as a teacher? While I do not diminish my professional responsibility to prepare student-teachers with practical strategies and experiences, my main response is to encourage student-teachers to know themselves as poets, to live creatively in the pedagogic world of students and teachers.

Ethical Dilemmas Facing Action Researchers

description: The Tri-Council Policy Statement, which has its roots in the Nuremberg Code, specifies ethical obligations of Canadian researchers. The need for such regulations is evident in a number of studies which have shown complete disregard for the rights of human beings, studies which have continued into the current millennium. Teachers who conduct research in their own classrooms encounter ethical dilemmas in common with external researchers, but they also face unique challenges. Following a summary of 13 ethical issues facing educational researchers in general (e.g., students' ownership of their written work; anonymity vs. acknowledgment of accomplishments), this paper explores problems which are particularly troublesome for teacher-researchers: the ability of students to refuse to participate, and students' rights to the best instruction, be it experimental or control. For some types of teacher research, the problems surrounding informed consent can be addressed by having a third party manage the consent forms and data collection.

Rise of Authoritarianism in Higher Education: A Critical Analysis of the Research Assessment Exercise in British Universities
Creators: name: Senyshyn, Yaroslav
Publisher: name: Journal of Educational Thought / Revue de la Pensée Educative
Year: 2018

description: This paper presents a critical analysis of the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in terms of theory, practice, and a Kierkegaardian metaphor related to issues of authoritarianism, the individual, objectivity, subjectivity, and maieutic communication. The assumptions that underlie the principles of the RAE are problematic in that conflict and contradictions are an inevitable part of these assumptions, particularly as they relate to issues of power and resistance. Governments should embrace risk - a leap of faith - and trust the university to take care of itself. To do otherwise can only end in failure of the university and its ability to conduct research in good faith.

description: In this paper we report on our initiative over the last several years to articulate and deepen our understanding of interdisciplinarity across disciplines, but particularly through the arts. In this paper art and analysis attempt to speak across disciplines to one another. By incorporating our ideas regarding the interdisciplinary properties of art in an alternative article form -one unlike the traditional formal schema of academic publishing -we invite readers to engage in an intertextual interpretation, and to consider the many forms that may express research. Reading across, over, behind and in the margins of the intertexts we have provided, may contribute to a better appreciation of individual and collective ways of understanding, being, and acting.

description: The fiscal liability of business administrator is an issue that has always aroused the interest of doctrine and jurisprudence. As a general rule, only legal entities can be held liable for tax debts incurred on the company’s name. However, administrators, exceptionally, can be held liable for the tax debt, when they practice an act with power abuse, violation of law, of the social contract or the statutes, as it is authorized by the article 135, III, of the National Tax Code (CTN). When some of these situations previewed on the article 135 of the NTC are checked on reality, the Treasury normally requires redirection of Tax Execution to include the administrator as responsible for the debt. Most of the time, this request is not preceded by administrative proceedings. They are usually empty phrases claiming that the administrator practiced an act of violation of the law or the social contract, with no proof of such assertions. Verified this common practice, this study aims to determine whether it is possible to include the administrator’s name in the Active Debt Certificate, promoting redirection of Tax Execution against him, without him having been notified to participate in the administrative procedure and without the proof of the fact that gave cause to the tributary responsibility. The answer to this problem will be done considering the principle of due process of law, analyzed on a formal and a material aspect, starting from the deductive method, with analysis of doctrine and jurisprudence applicable to the subject.
