Teachers’ Perspectives on Integrating Home and School-Based Learning in Primary Education: A Qualitative Study

This research study was design to understand teachers’ opinions regarding the home versus school education differences in primary student development while identifying possible learning challenges that home-schooled students face compared to their classmates in regular classrooms. It was a Phenomenology study to dig out the teachers’ perspective regarding their experience with homeschooled children in term their social adjustment, academic performance and overall development in comparison to children enrolled in traditional schools. The research design conformed to qualitative methods through conducting interviews with fifteen primary-grade teachers in five schools. The analysis showed that an integrated educational approach improves student grades simultaneously with enhancing students’ interaction and pushing better participation from parents. The respondents identified problems which include disparity in resource availability and parent-school communication irregularities. Teachers shared that homeschooled children are more studious, independent and responsible however their social skills are weak. Students with traditional education system are more active in co-curricular activities and more enjoy group work. Teachers’ views show that there is no huge gap between both of these children however homeschooled children face issues in adjustment initially they require individual attention from the teachers but gradually they adopt the situation on their individual pace. The research ends with the findings that homeschooling creates individualized educational experiences and promotes independent thinking but faces difficulties with social engagement and diverse learning content demands coordinated actions between teachers and monetary bodies and guardians to support students' equal academic and social development between all educational contexts.

Galanin-Like Peptide (GALP) Is a Target for Regulation by Leptin in the Hypothalamus of the Rat

Galanin-like peptide (GALP), which was recently isolated from the porcine hypothalamus, shares sequence homology with galanin and binds with high affinity to galanin receptors. To study the distribution and regulation of GALP-expressing cells in the brain, we cloned a 120 base-pair cDNA fragment of rat GALP and produced an antisense riboprobe. In situ hybridization for GALP mRNA was then performed on tissue sections throughout the forebrain of adult ovariectomized female rats. We found GALP mRNA-containing cells in the arcuate nucleus (Arc), caudal dorsomedial nucleus, median eminence and the pituitary. Because GALP mRNA in the Arc appeared to overlap with the known distribution of leptin receptor mRNA, we tested the hypothesis that GALP expression is regulated by leptin. Using in situ hybridization, we compared the number of GALP mRNA-containing cells among groups of rats that were fed ad lib or fasted for 48 h and treated with either leptin or vehicle. Fasting reduced the number of identifiable cells containing GALP mRNA in the Arc, whereas the treatment of fasted animals with leptin produced a 4-fold increase in the number of cells expressing GALP message. The presence of GALP mRNA in the hypothalamus and pituitary and its regulation by leptin suggests that GALP may have important neuroendocrine functions, including the physiological regulation of feeding, metabolism, and reproduction.

Athletic amenorrhea, major affective disorders, and eating disorders

While studying amenorrheic runners, the authors became aware of psychiatric differences between them. Psychiatric interviews of 13 amenorrheic and 19 regularly menstruating runners revealed that of the amenorrheic runners, 11 reported major affective disorders in themselves or in first- and second-degree relatives and eight reported eating disorders in themselves. Among the regularly menstruating runners, however, there were no eating disorders or major affective disorders, and only one had first-degree relatives with major affective disorders. These data suggest a link between athletic amenorrhea in runners, major affective disorders, and eating disorders.

Specification of retinal central connections in <i>Rana pipiens</i> before the appearance of the first post‐mitotic ganglion cells

Abstract The order of production of retinal cells and the time when retinal cells become post‐mitotic was studied in Rana pipiens embryos using 3 H‐thymidine autoradiography. Cell division stops first in the fundus of the retinal rudiment between embryonic stages 17 and 18 and gradually becomes restricted to the retinal margin. The ganglion cells in the fundus are among the first cells to become post‐mitotic. The specification of the central connections of ganglion cells was studied by rotating the eye primordium at embryonic stages 16–21. After metamorphosis, the visual projection from the rotated eye to the contralateral optic tectum was mapped electrophysiologically and compared with the normal retinotectal map. In all cases, the visual projection map was rotated through the same angle as was indicated by the position of the choroidal fissure. It appears that ganglion cell connections with the tectum were specified by stage 17. These results indicate that ganglion cell central connections are specified before the first ganglion cells become post‐mitotic.

Fair Trade and justice: a comment on Walton and Deneulin

In this article we first point out that the different conceptualisations of Fair Trade, which are sometimes analytically contradictory, actually form a coordinated set. Understanding the Fair Trade project is impossible without taking these interlinked conceptualisations into consideration. Second, this set basically forms a mechanism of structural, institutional and moral reforms that guide actions. In this way Fair Trade sets out to produce less injustice than is usually the case with the structures and institutions that govern conventional trade. Nevertheless, it does not try to define what a just society is or even to perfectly define ‘fair trade’. This implies the adoption of a comparative justice angle. It is precisely by linking comparative individual situations with the structures that produce these situations that relative justice can find its strength and purpose.

To evaluate outcomes of various managements in lumbar prolapsed intervertebral disc and factors affecting the outcomes

Background: Backache is a disease of antiquity and has tormented lives of innumerable individual of mankind. At some point during their lifetime, about 80% of adults can be expected to experience low backache. Its point prevalence is about 30%. By the age of 30 years, almost half of adults have experienced a substantive episode of low backache. Materials and Methods: 85 patients with lumbar prolapsed intervertebral disc where selected between April 2018 to April 2019 with taking inclusion and exclusion criteria into account. 42 patients were undergone conservative treatment, 26 patients were given epidural steroid injection, 17 patients were undergone surgical (discectomy) treatment. Observation in all three groups were analyzed and compared. Results: Patients were evaluated at post op 15 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months with respect to previous examination findings short term outcome over a period of six months, good (60-80% improvement in ODI) to excellent (> 80% improvement in ODI) outcome is seen in94% of surgically treated patients, whereas only 81% of patients treated with epidural steroid were to having good to excellent results but in conservatively treated group only 12% of patients had good to excellent outcome. Around 88% of conservatively treated patients had fair outcome. Conclusion: Short term outcome of discectomy for PIVD is favorable as compared to conservative treatment. Epidural steroid offers promise for temporary relief with many patient requiring repeat injections at variable time interval.

A PROSPECTIVE, MULTICENTER EVALUATION OF PREDICTIVE FACTORS FOR POSITIVE SURGICAL MARGINS AFTER NEPHRON SPARING SURGERY FOR RENAL CELL CARCINOMA: THE RECORD1 ITALIAN PROJECT

Aim of the study&#13;\nNephron-sparing surgery (NSS) has become the standard of care for the conservative management of clinically localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC) whenever technically feasible. The excision of the tumor with a minimal margin of healthy parenchyma surrounding the neoplasm is currently considered the standard technique for NSS, in order to minimize the risk of positive surgical margins (PSMs) and achieve optimal local cancer control. We aimed to evaluate the predictors of PSMs after NSS for RCC in one of the largest available prospective multi-institutional study.&#13;\n&#13;\nMaterials and methods&#13;\nThe Italian Registry of Conservative Renal Surgery (RECORd Project) includes all patients who underwent conservative surgical treatment for radiologically diagnosed kidney cancers between January 2009 and December 2012 at 19 urological Italian centers. All preoperative anthropometric characteristics, intraoperative and pathological data were collected. Postoperative complications (within 30 days from surgery) were recorded. Standard partial nephrectomy (PN) has been defined as the excision of the tumor comprising a minimal margin of healthy peritumoral renal parenchyma. Simple tumor enucleation (SE) has been defined as the blunt tumor excision without removing a visible rim of parenchymal tissue around the pseudocapsule. Multivariable logistic regression models considering factors that were significantly related to SM status at univariable analysis were applied to analyse predictors of PSM.&#13;\n&#13;\nResults&#13;\nEight hundred consecutive patients were evaluated. 761 (95.1%) and 39 patients (4.9%) achieved negative and positive surgical margins, respectively. Patients with PSMs were significantly older compared to those with negative margins (median age: 66.6 vs. 61.8 years, respectively, p=0.001). No statistically significant differences were found among patients with positive and negative margins in terms of gender, BMI, indication to NSS (elective/relative vs. imperative), symptoms at the time of diagnosis, ECOG performance status, number of lesions, clinical stage and tumor side. A higher incidence of PSMs was observed when NSS was performed for renal masses located in the upper pole (p=0.001). A lower rate of PSM was found in those patients treated with simple enucleation rather than standard partial nephrectomy (1.6% vs. 7.4% respectively,)&#13;\n&#13;\nConclusions&#13;\nThe early oncological goal of PN is to achieve negative margins. In our multi-institutional report of open and minimally invasive NSS, the overall rate of PSM is 4.9%. Young age, SE, middle or lower tumor location and low grade tumor are all independent predictors of NSMs.

Effects of Feedback Delivery Requirements on Accuracy of Observations

Feedback is often used in Organizational Behavior Management to improve employee performance. Accurate feedback results in greater improvements in performance and accurate observations enable accurate feedback. However, employees may find providing feedback to peers aversive. The present study contrived a method to evaluate whether instructing individuals to deliver feedback following observations impacted the accuracy of those observations. Five college-aged participants were exposed to a counterbalanced ABAB design. In the observation-only condition (Condition A) participants conducted observations of confederate posture, scoring whether the confederate's feet and back were "safe" or "at risk." In the required-feedback condition (Condition B) participants observed and collected data identically to phase A, but were additionally instructed to deliver feedback regarding confederate postures following each session. The results show that all five participants demonstrated higher accuracy of observations in the observation-only condition. Factors potentially influencing lower accuracy when feedback was required are discussed.

Diameter Distribution Yield Systems for Unthinned Cutover Site-Prepared Slash Pine Plantations in Southern Mississippi

Abstract Equations and procedures for estimating size class distributions of unthinned young slash pine (Pinus elliottii Englem.) plantations on cutover site-prepared land in south Mississippi are described. Diameter distributions are approximated by determining the parameters of a three-parameterWeibull probability density function with expected arithmetic mean, quadratic mean, and minimum diameters equal to predicted. Stock tables are prepared from stand tables using compatible tree volume ratio/profile equations prepared from 150 stem analysis trees. The estimates of survival and yield in this study are based on typical stand conditions and are lower than those given by Dell et al. (1979) for ideal stand conditions. When the same survival functions are used in both models, however, both models predict yields that are nearly equal for most practical purposes. A FORTRANcomputer program is available from the authors for obtaining stand and stock tables from stand age, site index, and numbers of tree per acre. South. J. Appl. For. 11(1):32-36.

Genetic Mapping and Identification of the Gibberellin 3-Oxidase Gene GA3ox Leading to a GA-Deficient Dwarf Phenotype in Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata D.)

Plant height is an important indicator in the ideal plant model and contributes to optimizing yield and lodging resistance. The emergence of a dwarfing phenotype provides an opportunity for plant height improvement. In a previous study, we identified a dwarf mutant Si1 in pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata D.) obtained by ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis of the inbred line N87. Phenotype identification for Si1 revealed a decrease in cell size and shorter internodes than those of wild type. Genetic analysis revealed that the dwarf mutant trait was controlled by a single recessive gene, CmaSI1. By bulked segregant analysis (BSA) and subsequent fine mapping, we mapped the CmaSI1 locus to a 463 kb region on chromosome 8 that contained 28 annotated genes in the F2 population. Only one nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in CmoCh08G006170 was obtained according to whole-genome resequencing of the two parents. CmoCh08G006170, a homolog of Arabidopsis gibberellin 3-beta hydroxylase (GA3ox), is a key enzyme in the regulation of bioactive gibberellins (GAs). RNA-seq analysis and qRT-PCR showed that the expression level of CmoCh08G006170 in stems of Si1 was changed compared with that of wild type. The dwarf phenotype could be restored by exogenous GA3 treatment, suggesting that Si1 is a GA-deficient mutant. The above results demonstrated that CmoCh08G006170 may be the candidate gene controlling the dwarf phenotype. This study provides an important theoretical basis for the genetic regulation of vine length and crop breeding in pumpkin.

Doctorate unemployment as rent-seeking behavior

This dissertation provides an economic explanation for Ph.D. unemployment. The discussion begins with a theoretical investigation of policy making in nonprofit colleges. The predictions of this analysis are that colleges will operate less efficiently than for-profit firms; that faculty salaries will exceed market-clearing levels (in most disciplines); and that faculty salaries will tend to equalize across disciplines (while market-clearing salaries will probably vary across disciplines).\n\nThe theory of rent-seeking unemployment is then presented. When the academic wage exceeds the nonacademic wage, those gaining faculty positions receive rents; so some individual will refuse nonacademic jobs (accept unemployment) and search for rent-yielding academic jobs. The hypothesis is that unemployment rates will be highest in those disciplines where the intersectoral wage differential is greatest.\n\nEmpirical evidence is presented which supports the major hypotheses of this study.
