The influence of prior experiences on teaching schemata of traditional and nontraditional elementary preservice teachers

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study explored the influence of prior experiences on teaching schemata of traditional and nontraditional elementary preservice teachers. Data collection was conducted at Western State University (WSU) in the desert southwest, U.S.A. The influence of prior experiences on two dimensions of teaching schemata were explored in this study. Stimulated recall interviews of peer lessons illuminated the influence of prior experiences on thirty-eight traditional and twenty-two nontraditional elementary preservice teachers' classroom interactive dimensions (CID). Concept mapping illuminated the influence of prior experiences on participants' reflective/introspective dimensions; Participant responses from stimulated recall and concept map interviews were transcribed and compared to categories of prior experience and knowledge. Data revealed that both groups' peer lessons and concept maps were influenced by similar experiences. Four themes emerged from the study that conceptualized the influence of prior experiences on teaching schemata. Implications for teacher education were drawn.

Role of CD18-dependent and CD18-independent mechanisms in the increased leukocyte adhesiveness and in the variations of circulating white blood cell populations induced by anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Anti-CD3 antibodies induce a quick and profound depletion of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) that is not well understood. We studied the effect of OKT3, a mouse monoclonal antibody against the human CD3 complex, on the in vitro adhesion of human PBMCs to monolayers of fresh and fixed human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). OKT3 induced an increased adhesiveness of PBMCs. This phenomenon was blocked with anti-CD18 antibodies, indicating the participation of beta 2 integrins. As this increased adhesiveness could explain the lymphopenia by adhesion of PBMCs to endothelial cells and their sequestration in some peripheral vascular beds, we studied the effect of anti-CD18 antibodies in vivo on mice injected with 145/2C11, a hamster monoclonal antibody against murine CD3. Mice treated with 145/2C11 presented with a transient granulocytopenia and a sustained reduction in PBMCs. A monoclonal anti-CD18 antibody prevented the granulocytopenia but had no effect on the drop in PBMCs. Consequently, the in vivo depletion of PBMCs after administration of an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody involves CD18-independent mechanisms, while the transient drop in polymorphonuclear cells appears to be CD18-dependent.
NEGOTIATING EVERYDAY VIA THE ACT OF READING RESISTANCE POETRY: A STUDY BASED ON THE ANALYSIS OF READERSHIP OF POETRY BY AGHA SHAHID ALI ON KASHMIR

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Kashmir conflict dates back to the time of Indo-Pak Independence in 1947, but it was the uprising of 1989 when people of Kashmir themselves became active participants in resistance movement against the state rule. Due to twin effect of military and militancy, the lives of people revolved around loss, fear, and insecurity that made up their everyday and in turn, the modes of resistance by people acquired different forms ranging from street protests to stone pelting to online blogging. This paper seeks to locate how the act of 'reading poetry' based on Kashmir conflict by Agha Shahid Ali acts as a means of incorporating resistance in the everyday of people when overt resistance is unsafe and subject to surveillance by the authorities. The paper addresses the theme of ‘everyday’ in two ways, firstly, in terms of violence and insecurity that makes up the ‘everyday’ of people in Kashmir and secondly, how they negotiate ‘everyday’ via the act of reading resistance poetry.
Highly Sensitive in Vitro Diagnostic System of Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) Virus Infection with Specific MicroRNA as a Biomarker

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Several microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to be closely related to influenza A virus infection, replication, and immune response. Therefore, the development of the infectious-disease detection system using miRNAs as biomarkers is actively underway. Herein, we identified two miRNAs (miR-181c-5p and miR-1254) as biomarkers for detection of pandemic influenza A H1N1 virus infection and proposed the catalytic hairpin assembly-based in vitro diagnostic (CIVD) system for a highly sensitive diagnosis; this system is composed of two sets of cascade hairpin probes enabling to detect miR-181c-5p and miR-1254. We demonstrated that CIVD kits could not only detect subnanomolar levels of target miRNAs but also distinguish even single-base mismatches. Moreover, this CIVD kit has shown excellent detection performance in real intracellular RNA samples and confirmed results similar to those of conventional methods (microarray and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction).
When all else fails: the colo-duodenal anastomosis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Total enterectomy is an exceedingly rare procedure performed out of necessity due to massive intestinal infarction, trauma, or peritoneal malignancy. This case describes a 47-year-old patient who has successfully undergone the procedure to manage mesenteric ischaemia. Bowel continuity was achieved with a duodenocolonic anastomosis, and the patient has been transitioned to life-long total parental nutrition. This case highlights that carefully selected patients can achieve long-term survival with good quality of life rather than palliation.
Service quality, punctual cargo delivery, and customer loyalty: The mediating role of customer decisions

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The main problem of this research was that Shopee Express, one of the companies operating in a delivery service provided by an e-commerce platform, faced a significant challenge in keeping its existence and showed a decreased performance. This research empirically examined the influence of service quality and punctual delivery on customer loyalty through customer decision as the intervening variable in the logistic company Shopee Express case study. The sample of this research was the customers of Shopee Express, with as many as 203 respondents using the path analysis method. From the discussion, it was known that there was a significant influence of service quality and punctual delivery simultaneously on customer loyalty through customer decision, and there was a significant influence of customer decisions on customer loyalty. The implication of this research was the importance of Shopee Express Indonesia continuously improving its service quality and punctual delivery to enhance customer decisions and customer loyalty. The key finding of this research could give valuable insight to the company management in developing its strategy to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Economic Sanctions and the Politics of IMF Lending

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

What effect do economic sanctions have on the IMF lending decisions? Though countries under economic sanctions often face significant economic and financial difficulties, no comprehensive research to date has explored whether the IMF as a de facto lender of last resort intervenes in those countries in need. We posit that economic coercion is likely to hinder the target’s access to IMF credits as sanctioning (sender) countries are likely to use their political influence in the IMF to deny funds to the destabilized target economies. To assess the empirical merits of the hypothesis, we combine data on the IMF lending with the economic sanctions data for 120 emerging market economies from 1975 to 2005. Results indicate that target countries are less likely to receive IMF funds, especially when under sanctions by the United States and international institutions. Our findings contradict the conventional wisdom that the IMF is tasked with providing lifelines to member governments in need of help to ease their short-term balance of payment problems. Further, as much as IMF loans can be used as positive inducements to acquire a country’s strategic cooperation, we show that they might also be used by sender countries as a punishment tool against target countries to amplify the impact of sanctions regimes.
Rustling Reeds and Lofty Pines: Elgar and the Music of Nature

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In contemporary Britain, the music of Elgar carries persistent associations with ideas of nature and a sense of place. Elgar scholarship has usually treated his utterances on the subject as biographical testimony, yet they also evoke a network of concepts inherited from myths, literary conventions, and the preoccupations of the Romantic movement. An awareness of this context yields new perspectives on his music, especially those passages that imitate the sound of wind, be it among reeds, trees, or across the strings of an Aeolian harp.
Flow Control in Optimistic Simulation

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Overly optimistic processing in Time Warp can threaten the stability of the simulation due to large memory consump-tion and explosive rollback growth. To address the sta-bility concerns of optimistic simulation, Choe and Trop-per proposed a learning-based flow control algorithm which throttles over-optimistic execution by regulating the flow of events between pairs of processors throughout the course of the simulation. This flow control algorithm has been shown to effectively improve simulation stability for certain appli-cations in a shared-memory environment. In this paper we present an analysis and experimental ver-ification of the performance of this flow control algorithm in a distributed-memory environment. Results show that the flow control algorithm reduces the memory usage, the number of rollbacks and the number of antievents at the ex-pense of the simulation time. Thus it becomes apparent that the behaviour of the flow control algorithm is not a conse-quence of learning, but it is highly dependent on the type of simulation platform, event granularity and communica-tion latency. Taking these results into account, we discuss a number of approaches to learning and flow control using the outlines of the flow control algorithm, and we consider the extent of the performance improvement to be expected from memory-based schemes for limiting Time Warp opti-mism in a distributed-memory environment. 1
The production of 2-methylisocitric acid from odd-carbon n-alkanes by a mutant of Candida lipolytica.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The productivity of 2-methylisocitric acid by a mutant, No. R-2, derived from Candida lipolytica IFO 1659 was examined from different carbon sources. The mutant produced this acid in large amounts mainly from odd-carbon n-alkanes. The ratio of this acid to total acids produced from alkanes increased as the number of carbon atoms of alkane decreased. From these findings, it was inferred that the amount of this acid produced depended on the available amount of C3-residue derived from odd-carbon n-alkanes after successive removal of C2-fragments. A hypothetical pathway of this acid accumulation from odd-carbon n-alkanes by this mutant is suggested. The present paper also describes a convenient method for quantitative determination of polybasic acids by gas chromatography.
OBTENCIÓN DE CEBOLLA DE BULBO Allium cepa L. CON BAJO NIVEL DE ACEITE VOLÁTIL PROPANOTIAL

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The study points towards the obtaining of onion Alliums bulb stock L, with lowpropanotial volatile oil content, by means of the hydroponic production, using differentÂ single concentrations in the nutrients that contain Sulphur (S), because theÂ generation of the propanotial is bound to the presence of this one. The propanotial,Â when making contact with the water, is disturbed giving propane, sulfuric acid andÂ sulphydric acid. This last one created is the cause of the tear reaction. Also sulphurÂ is bounded to the generation of alitosis by means of the substances dipropildisulphurÂ or alilpropildisulphur. It had 6 beds (Long (125 cm.), wide (105 cm.), depth (10 cm.))Â that contained a substrate sand mixture and rice husk, the density of sowing wasÂ varied between (10x10) and (20x20). The beds were divided in two lines (To and B),Â being To which counted on nutrition without lack of Sulphurs and the B with SulphurÂ deficiency in the feeding. Beddings were seeded and they were nourished during aÂ period of three months. The harvest was made and it was begun to take the datareferring to the weight, polar and equatorial diameter, ph and brix degrees, a sensorialÂ analysis was also made on the basis of the tests of kruskal-walls. The form of theÂ onion which was normally nourished tended to be wide in diameter with a flattenedÂ tendency, those that suffered a modification in the sulfur provision were extendedÂ shaped. The onions with greater weight were those of treatment A. Treatments ToÂ had a strong aroma whereas the B not as much, even being very similar in perception.Treatments To generated Crying in the moment of the cut, whereas B was notmarked so. Treatments To presented the characteristic strong flavor, whereas theÂ onions of treatment B did not present the flavor characteristic of the bulb onion. OneÂ concludes that if it is possible to obtain an onion with low propanotial acid content,Â by means of the modification in the nutrition with sulphur, with no need to makeÂ genetic manipulation or to count on varieties that fulfill this requirement.
Critical Synthesis Package: Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS)

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract This Critical Synthesis Package contains: (1) a Critical Analysis of the psychometric properties and application to health sciences education for the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS), and (2) a copy of the RIPLS instrument, developed by Glennys Parsell, Senior Research Associate, and John Bligh, FRCGP. The RIPLS is a 19-item, 5-point Likert scale self-reporting tool that assesses perceptions of healthcare students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding readiness to learn with other healthcare professionals. It is divided into three validated subscales. The Teamwork/Collaboration subscale assesses the valuing of cooperative learning and respecting students from other healthcare professionals, and the Negative Professional Identity subscale measures the tendency of an individual to value and benefit from collaborative relationships with other healthcare professionals. The Roles and Responsibilities subscale measures the practical application of interprofessional skills with other healthcare professional students. Both subscale scores and total scores can be rated. Overall high scores indicate a more positive attitude toward interprofessional learning experiences. It can be used to measure responses to specific interprofessional learning experiences or formatively for planning interprofessional educational activities. It can be administered to a vast array of healthcare professional students at all levels of training either online or in paper/pencil format. Validity and reliability studies have been conducted in efforts to translate the RIPLS into several different languages. Overall RIPLS scores demonstrate appropriate reliability and validity measures but the subscale factor analyses indicate that they need further study to determine suitability of the items. Highest reliability and validity subscales were found with the Teamwork/Collaboration and the Professional Identity subscales with the Roles and Responsibilities subscale demonstrating the least reliable analyses. It is recommended that validity studies continue to finely hone the items in each subscale with perhaps adding additional questions related to patient care benefits of interprofessional practice.
Using the A* algorithm to build DNA nanostructures

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this project a suggested idea for an abstraction of simplex DNA was used\nto simulate DNA behavior. Furthermore, the A* search algorithm was used\nto construct a sequence of simplex DNA strands used to build a desired DNA\nstructure.\nDNA nanotechnology is a subfield of nanotechnology where DNA is used\nas structural material. DNA origami is an example of an accomplishment\nin this field, where short "staple" strands are used to fold up a longer DNA\nstand in order to produce 2 dimensional shapes. Demonstrated designs have\nincluded a smiley face and a map of the Americas. Various different DNA\n"machines" such as DNA tweezers, which can operate with nanoscale precision,\nand DNA walkers, which can walk along a track of DNA, have been\nbuilt. Potential applications for these machines are within nanorobotics and\nnanomedicine.\nThe abstraction of simplex DNA consists of reducing sequences of DNA\nbases to single entities, and of discarding some odd and unusual behavior.\nThis simplification makes it feasible to perform quick simulations, and still\ndeliver simulated results comparable to the actual.\n\n

Analyzing the relationships among the L2 motivational self system components, L2 anxiety, and intended effort among chinese learners of Japanese: a structural equation modeling

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The interplay between motivational constructs and affective factors plays a pivotal role in shaping learners’ behavioral engagement within second language acquisition (SLA). This study employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships among components of the L2 motivational self-system (L2MSS), L2 anxiety, and intended effort among Chinese learners of Japanese. A questionnaire survey was administered to 465 college students to assess their motivational orientations, learning experiences, anxiety levels, and intended effort. The results showed that the ideal L2 self and positive learning experience negatively predicted L2 anxiety, whereas ought-to L2 self and negative learning experience positively predicted L2 anxiety. The ideal L2 self, ought-to L2 self, and positive learning experience positively predicted intended effort, while L2 anxiety and negative learning experience had negative effects on intended effort. Negative learning experience played a significant moderating role in the relationship between L2MSS and intended effort. The findings of the current study offer valuable implications for supporting Chinese learners of Japanese by emphasizing the need to foster positive motivational self-images and mitigate anxiety through constructive learning experiences.

Chimeric synthetic peptides as diagnostic tools : a novel IgM-specific immunoassay for the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis : Driving innovation towards next-generation IgM immunoassays

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Serologic tests detecting anti- T. gondii IgM are the gold standard for the diagnosis of acute toxoplasmosis. Nevertheless, most commercial kits are based on lysate antigens obtained from tachyzoites grown in mice or tissue culture which present inherent limitations in terms of performance, providing erroneous results to the physicians thus hindering patient management and requiring stringent regulation. In this context, peptide-based antigens have emerged as an attractive alternative to overcome several of such issues. In this thesis we focused on designing and synthetizing a novel T. gondii IgM-specific chimeric peptide that was used to develop a chemiluminescent immunoassay for the detection of anti-T. gondii IgMs. Additionally, we aimed to assess mouse monoclonal humanized chimeric antibodies as an alternative source to the human positive plasma-derived samples that are currently used to produce reference materials, such as calibrators and controls. Along with its specific results, this thesis provides a set of innovative technologies to discover IgM-specific sequences translating them into robust antigens, to optimize immunoassay formulations, and to replace the current supply-chain of reference materials.
Impact of immunosuppressive drugs in the therapeutic efficacy of autoimmune skin diseases

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Autoimmune skin diseases such as pemphigus vulgaris and psoriasis and systemic sclerosis require long-term treatment. Immunosuppressive drug therapy is a gold standard treatment choice in the management of autoimmune skin disease.

Aim and Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of immunosuppressive drugs in the management of chronic skin diseases.

Materials and Methods: A total of 120 cases of both genders (75 males and 45 females), above 18 years and newly started with immunosuppressant drugs for psoriasis (methotrexate therapy-weekly once), Pemphigus Vulgaris and Systemic Sclerosis (pulse therapy  monthly once) were recruited. The clinical response of drugs was assessed by psoriasis area severity index score (PASI), modified Rodnan Skin Score (MRSS), and Pemphigus Area and Activity Score (PAAS).

Results: The PAAS score, PASI score, and MRSS scores were significantly decreased from the beginning to the end of the 6th month and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.005). Nausea/ vomiting were the common adverse effects in all groups followed by gastritis and weight gain.

Conclusion: The usage of immunosuppressant drugs such as methotrexate in the management of psoriasis and dexamethasone-cyclophosphamide therapy in the management of pemphigus vulgaris and systemic sclerosis is effective and did not show any major adverse effects.
