Changing experiences of being, becoming, and belonging: teachers’ professional identity revisited

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Teacher identity has become important in mathematics education research, but mainly in relation to programmes for teacher education (TE) and professional development (PD). Less attention has been paid to understanding the role and development of identities in the majority of cases in which teachers are not involved in long-term TE or PD. This paper presents a study that seeks to develop such understandings. The study defines teacher identities as their shifting experiences of being, becoming and belonging related to the profession. It is a longitudinal case study of a novice teacher, Anna, and it asks how Anna’s identities change over the first 4 years of her career at her school, Northgate. To address the question I use a framework called Patterns of Participation (PoP) in combination with a range of methods, including interviews with Anna, her closest colleagues and the leadership at her school, and observations of Anna’s classrooms and of team meetings. I argue that this combination invites new understandings of identity development, because it does not prioritise teacher engagement in one particular practice (e.g., as promoted by PD), but allows interpretations of how Anna’s engagement with a multitude of different practices play a role for her professional experiences. The results suggest that in general terms, Anna’s identity changes from being ‘a mathematics teacher at Northgate’ to becoming ‘a mathematics teacher at Northgate’.
A Wind Farm Power Maximization Method Based on Multi-Strategy Improved Sparrow Search Algorithm

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract For large-scale constructed wind farms, reducing wake loss and improving the overall output power are the main objectives for their optimal operation. Therefore, a wind farm power maximization method based on a multi-strategy improved sparrow search algorithm (MS-ISSA) is proposed in this paper. Integrating the wake propagation mechanism of wind turbines and the characteristics of the classic Jensen wake model, the Jensen–Gaussian wake model and wake superposition model were constructed to accurately calculate the wind farm wake distribution. The constructed Jensen–Gaussian wake model and wake superposition model can accurately describe the non-uniform distribution characteristics of wake velocity. The Sin chaotic model, Cauchy distribution, and hyperparameter adaptive adjustment strategy were used to improve the sparrow search algorithm (SSA), and the optimization ability, convergence speed, and stability of the SSA were improved. Accordingly, considering the maximum output power of the wind farm as the optimization target and axial induction factor as the optimization variable, a coordinated optimization model for wind turbines based on MS-ISSA was proposed to realize the coordinated optimal operation of wind turbines with reduced wake loss. Considering the Danish Horns Rev wind farm as the research object, the results of optimization using particle swarm optimization algorithm, whale optimization algorithm, basic sparrow search algorithm, and MS-ISSA were calculated and analyzed. The calculation results revealed that under different incoming wind conditions, the MS-ISSA exhibited better optimization results than the other optimization algorithms.

Could Latinos Choose the Next President? States in Which Latinos Could Determine the Margin of Victory in the 2016 Presidential Election

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This special report in partnership with CNN en Espanol examines characteristics of states in which the Latino electorate could determine victory in the 2016 presidential election. Methods: Data were obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau, Voting and Registration, as a part of the Current Population Survey data from the November Voter Supplements. The 2016 estimates were derived by using the yearly percentage rate of increase between 2004 and 2012. Additional data were derived from an analysis of the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) American Community Survey (ACS). Results: In Florida Latinos comprise a large share of the electorate and will be a decisive factor in victory—76% of Latinos are projected to register to vote in 2016 and 64% of eligible Latinos will likely vote. The data indicate that in states with small Latino populations, such as Ohio and Pennsylvania, the Latino vote will be important if the races are close. It is unlikely that the Latino vote will be important in New Hampshire and Wisconsin. Discussion: Despite representing small numbers of the population in many states, the Latino electorate has the potential to be a deciding factor in a number of swing states in the 2016 presidential election. How important their role will be hinges on Latino voter registration and turn-out.
Feasibility and safety of neoadjuvant nivolumab and chemotherapy for resectable diffuse pleural mesotheliomas: Results of a prospective pilot study.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

8003 Background: Diffuse pleural mesotheliomas (DPM) are an aggressive malignancy where even patients with potentially resectable disease have poor outcomes. With an evolving understanding of the role of pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) as the standard of care for resectable disease, the need to improve upfront therapies is more urgent. Here we report the results of our single institution prospective pilot study of nivolumab with platinum (cisplatin/carboplatin) and pemetrexed prior to P/D for patients with resectable DPM (NCT04162015). Methods: Patients deemed operable and resectable by a multidisciplinary team received 2 cycles of neoadjuvant nivolumab, pemetrexed, and platinum followed by P/D. Subsequent therapy was at the physician's discretion. Using a minimax Simon two-stage design, the primary objective was defined as attempted P/D within 30 days of the planned surgery date. Secondary objectives included evaluating safety, overall survival (OS) from diagnosis, and progression free survival (PFS). Tumor tissue and plasma were collected for exploratory analyses such as immune cell profiling and pathologic response. Using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq), we explored DPM transcriptional heterogeneity and treatment-associated tumor microenvironment (TME) changes. Results: 22 patients received neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy and 19 underwent attempted P/D (2 progressed and 1 declined surgery). 68% were men (13/19), 89% were epithelioid (17/19; remaining 2 were biphasic), and the median age at diagnosis was 72 (range: 33-80). No patient experienced pre-operative toxicity precluding P/D. 95% (18/19) of patients underwent P/D within 30 days of the planned date; 1 patient had biopsy-proven tumor flare after cycle 2 and had surgery at day +37. As of January 2024, median OS for the 19 patients that went for attempted P/D was 41.0 mos (median follow up: 25.3mos). OS for those who underwent R1 resections (n = 12) was not reached and for R2 (n = 7) was 31.4 mos (p = 0.67; HR 1.43, 95% CI 0.28-7.30). 26% of specimens (5/19) had ≤ 10% viable tumor cells on the resection; there was no clear correlation with outcomes. scRNAseq was performed on 15 resection specimens with available material. Comparing patients with PFS greater than or less than 12mos (PFS12), we found significantly increased abundance of CD8 cytotoxic T cells, and ISG+ (interferon stimulated) T cells. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant platinum, pemetrexed, and nivolumab was reliably able to be given to patients with DPM without impacting their ability to undergo P/D. The encouraging OS of this cohort to date, and tolerance of the regimen, highlights the importance of patient selection and preoperative treatments when considering P/D. Ongoing exploratory analyses will profile the cellular and transcriptional landscape of DPM and identify correlates of response to neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy.

Incidence of fractures in middle-aged individuals with early chronic kidney disease: a population-based analysis of CARTaGENE

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Previous studies evaluating fractures in chronic kidney disease (CKD) have mostly focused on hip or major fractures in aged populations with moderate to advanced CKD. We aimed at evaluating the association between early CKD and fracture incidence at all sites across age and sex in middle-aged individuals. Methods We analyzed CARTaGENE, a prospective population-based survey of 40- to 69-year-old individuals from Quebec (Canada). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at baseline was evaluated categorically or continuously using restricted cubic splines. Fractures at any site (except toes, hand and craniofacial) for up to 7 years of follow-up were identified through administrative databases using a validated algorithm. Adjusted Cox models were used to evaluate the association of CKD with fracture. Interaction terms for age and sex were also added. Results A total of 19 391 individuals (756 CKD Stage 3; 9114 Stage 2; 9521 non-CKD) were included and 829 fractures occurred during a median follow-up of 70 months. Compared with the median eGFR of 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, eGFRs of ≤60 mL/min/1.73 m2 were associated with increased fracture incidence in unadjusted and adjusted models [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 1.25 (95% confidence interval 1.05–1.49) for 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; 1.65 (1.14–2.37) for 45 mL/min/1.73 m2]. The eGFR was linearly associated with fracture incidence &lt;75 mL/min/1.73 m2 [HR = 1.18 (1.04–1.34) per 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 decrease] but not above [HR = 0.98 (0.91–1.06) per 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 decrease). The effect of decreased eGFR on fracture incidence was more pronounced in younger individuals [HR = 2.45 (1.28–4.67) at 45 years; 1.11 (0.73–1.67) at 65 years] and in men. Conclusions Even early CKD increases fracture incidence, especially in younger individuals and in men.
Multivariate Nonlinear Statistical Process Control of a Sequencing Batch Reactor

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This research describes the application of a multivariate statistical process control method to a pilot-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) using a hatchwise nonlinear monitoring technique for a denoising effect. Three-way batch data of normal batches are unfolded batch-wise and then a kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) is applied to capture the nonlinear dynamics within normal batch processes. The developed monitoring method was successfully applied to an 80-l sequencing batch reactor (SBR) for biological wastewater treatment, which is characterized by a variety of nonstationary and nonlinear characteristics. In the multivariate analysis and batch-wise monitoring, the developed nonlinear monitoring method can effectively capture the nonlinear relations within the batch process data and clearly showed the power of nonlinear process monitoring and denoising performance in comparison with linear methods.
The Photosensitivity of Rhodopsin Bleaching and Light-Induced Increases of Fundus Reflectance in Mice Measured In Vivo With Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The elevated photosensitivity of rhodopsin bleaching in vivo is explained by waveguide condensing of light in propagation from rod inner segment (RIS) to rod outer segment (ROS). The similar photosensitivity of rhodopsin in the two strains reveals that little light backscattered from the sclera can enter the ROS. The bleaching-induced increases in reflectance at the IS/OS junctions and OS tips resemble results previously reported in human cones, but are ascribed to rods due to their 30/1 predominance over cones in mice and to the relatively minor amount of cone M-opsin in the regions scanned.
Na-Doped ZnO and RGO Composite-Based Flexible Acetone Gas Sensor Operated in Room Temperature

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Real-time health monitoring is important in disease prediction, prevention, and early treatment. In this study, based on Na-doped ZnO/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) heterojunction, an ultrasensitive flexible room temperature gas sensor was developed for lung cancer surveillance diagnosis. The sensing material was synthesized using a simple solution route. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy were carried out to investigate the structure and chemical properties. The fabricated material has a surface-to-volume ratio, which was important to the sensing property. The gas-sensing performance was measured from 5 ppm to 200 ppm at room temperature (25 °). The proposed sensor demonstrated fast response and recovery time, as well as great repeatability and long-term stability. Furthermore, it exhibited mechanical robustness, and can be bent to different angles with almost no resistance change. Moreover, performance investigation at low acetone concentrations (0.2 ppm to 1.0 ppm) revealed its capability of distinguishing acetone gas as low as 0.2 ppm, with good linearity under different acetone concentration. As such, the developed sensor could provide a promising basis for disease monitoring through detecting the concentration of acetone gas exhaled by human.
The Literature Review of ESG on Enterprise Innovation: Evidence from big data

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Corporate innovation is influenced by ESG in numerous ways. This paper examines big data's role in promoting ESG in China, the US, and Japan while summarizing the ways in which ESG influences various forms of innovation. The empirical results demonstrate that the Chinese government has been aggressively encouraging corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, based on data from China, the US, and Japan. The growth of businesses in the US is mostly indicative of the promotion of ESG. The public in Japan has reasonably easy access to a variety of data and information regarding sustainable development and environmental preservation. Policymakers ought to think about quantifying ESG performance, standardizing ESG grading standards, and creating development plans tailored to individual nationsr.

LEADERSHIP/MANAGEMENT Conflict, Communication, and Collaboration: Improving Interactions Between Nurses and Physicians

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

ON ANY GIVEN DAY in the workplace, in both hospitals and outpatient facilities, examples of positive and negative interactions between nurses and physicians abound. In fact, the multidisciplinary nature of the work of caring for surgical and pain management patients involves health care workers in many job roles. The importance of professional communication, conflict resolution, and collaboration between nurses and physicians can readily be applied to the entire team caring for patients across the continuum of care. This article supports improving communication and collaboration between nurses and physicians, but certainly applies to the entire team.
"I Didn't Know How All This Works": A Case Study Examining The Transition Experiences of Student-Athletes from High School to a Mid-Major DI Program

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The transition period from high school to college includes a myriad of issues specific to student-athletes (Bernhard & Bell, 2015; Bjornsen & Dinkel, 2017; Comeaux, 2015). The present study sought to illuminate the specific transition issues faced by mid-major, DI student-athletes by providing them the platform to describe them in their own words, and provide their own recommendations for improvement. Utilizing a semi-structured interview guide which addressed transition issues, the qualitative study included 23 student-athletes in focus group settings. Analysis of interview data led to the emergence of two themes, with accompanying subthemes: 1) Encounters with academic support, with subthemes of transitioning to campus and perceived responsibilities of athletic academic advisors; and 2) Skewed perceptions and expectations of student-athlete life, with subthemes of expectations regarding the coach-athlete relationship, lifestyle modifications, and high stress practice environments. The findings suggest a notable trend – student-athletes lack the support they need to successfully deal with the transition. The transition process itself also appears to involve three specific periods: 1) Prior to arrival on campus; 2) Initial arrival on campus; and 3) Following the initial transition to campus. The findings will help to better design standards for helping student-athletes navigate the transition process.

Special Floor Reduces Egg Breakage in Turkey Laying Cages

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

SITUATIONS arise when it becomes desirable to maintain turkey females in laying cages rather than in pens. Such a situation arose with the discovery of parthenogenesis in 1952, after which it became increasingly important that accurate records be kept and that hens be completely isolated from males. Maintaining turkeys in batteries, however, presented problems. Our chief concern has been egg breakage in laying cages, losses which have amounted to nearly 10 percent. An improved type of floor is described here, together with results of a comparison of egg losses on this floor and on two conventional floors. MATERIALS AND METHODS <cross-ref type="fn" refid="fn1">*</cross-ref> <it>Special Floor</it>.

Developing risk models to mitigate Fusarium Head Blight in western Canadian cereal production

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Producers in western Canada can mitigate the risk of Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) infection and damage to their cereal crops by growing resistant varieties and applying fungicides during critical flowering period. However, fungicide application should not be based only on conventional calendar since FHB occurrence and severity are sporadic and primarily influenced by weather conditions. Weather-based decision-making tools can improve FHB management while also providing significant financial and environmental benefits. Several models have been developed worldwide, with some predicting Fusarium damaged kernels (FDK) or deoxynivalenol (DON) indirectly based on visual estimates of FHB incidence/severity/index (FHBi). This study analyzed FHB over two growing seasons and revealed no significant correlation between FHBi and FDK and FHBi and DON in all crop types except durum. However, the correlation between FDK and DON was significant across all crop types; though, it varied between the two years. Weather-based risk models were developed for predicting FHBi, FDK, and DON in spring wheat, winter wheat, barley, and durum across three Canadian prairie provinces. The number of models developed ranged from 5 to 9 for each disease indicator and crop type, but only two best models for each disease indicator and crop type were further evaluated. The prediction accuracy of the selected models ranged between 75 and 81, 77 and 84, 78 and 79% for FHBi, FDK, and DON, respectively, across crop types. The selected models were validated using producer field data collected in western Canada. The prediction accuracy of the models across crop types ranged between 70 and 100, 66 and 89, 75 and 82% for FHBi, FDK, and DON, respectively. The accuracy of models was greatest when the distance between the fields and nearest weather stations was <40 km. Additionally, this study validated FHBi models currently used in western Canada, which were originally developed in the USA. Although the De Wolf I model predicted winter wheat FHBi with high accuracy (80%), it predicted spring wheat with low accuracy (59%). The models will be used to power an interactive, online digital viewer and provide early warning of potential FHBi, FDK, and DON epidemics in prairie cereal crops.
Effects of Chronic Hypoxia on Expression of Acid-sensing Ion Channels 3 and 2a of Neurons in Petrosal Ganglions of Rats

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Objective To investigate the effects of chronic hypoxia on expression of acid-sensing ion channels(ASIC) 3 and ASIC2a in neurons of petrosal ganglions of rats.Methods A total of 12 SD rats were randomly assigned to control group and hypoxia group.The expressions of ASIC3 and ASIC2a of the neurons in the petrosal ganglions in the two groups were investigated with the immunohistochemical technique.Results The level of positive ASIC3 expression in the petrosal ganglions was higher in the hypoxia group than that in the control group(P0.05);the difference of positive ASIC2a expression levels between the control group and the hypoxia group was not statistically significant(P0.05).Conclusion Chronic hypoxia can significantly increase the expression of ASIC3,but not that of ASIC2a,of the neurons in the petrosal ganglions,suggesting their different roles in mediating a cellular response to chronic hypoxia.
