Abstract:
On this work, a successful device, fully developed at the Marine Physics Lab of the Center for Marine Studies of the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil is presented. Beside the working principles. the bottom profile methodology, also developed for this particular instrument, is described. Some examples, showing results obtained by the use of such instrumented sleigh are , also depicted here. The system consists in un aluminum base, in a form of a snow sledge, equipped with a mini-STD, which is capable to measure at time rate of up to 1 measure each 1 or 5 seconds, water temperature and salinity. as well as the water column height. The pressure sensor has an accuracy of up to 1 cm. The device is deployed behind the breaking zone using a fisherman or small rubber boat, capable to depart from the beach. The device, measuring at its maximum rate, is then recovered using a long graduated and weighted rope. The recovering is performed, in a straight line, with intervals of 9 meters, stopping for a short period to obtain enough data in fixed points. When the device is still underwater, but near the beach, a leveling rod is located at the pressure sensor in order to reference the vertical profiles to a fixed land benchmark by using a precision topographic level. The topographic leveling is also performed over the beach. Pressure data are then filtered from wave action at lab, resulting in a full and complete topographic profile, from behind the breaking zone up to any reference point at the back of the sandy beach. The sledge format, the weighted rope and the filtering procedures ensured straight line profiling and an adequate elimination of the surface waves signal. The topographic profiles obtained and presented as examples, shown enough accuracy in depicting the effect of meteorological fronts over the sampled beaches.

Abstract:
Since the beginning of Oman’s “modern era” in 1970, English has assumed a central role in the country’s education system and has acted as a lingua franca across a variety of domains. However, despite this, graduates of Omani public schools are often reported as lacking the English-language linguistic and communicative abilities demanded by higher education institutions and the world of work. Consequently, most high school graduates entering tertiary education are required to enrol in foundation programs to improve their English language skills, while the employability of graduates seeking jobs straight from high school has also been reported as being negatively affected. Within this context, the current research explored the ways in which contextual factors relate to Omani school graduates’ development of English language skills. To achieve this, eight high school English language teaching supervisors responded to an on-line, open-ended question about the contextual factors they believed caused Omani school students to graduate with low English language proficiency. Results indicate that participants believed families, parents, and “Englishness” are the most important contextual factors contributing to this issue. The practical implications of these findings are discussed.

This article challenges some accepted binaries in literacy and technology research in order to explore the complex, multifaceted nature of literacy practices using a hypertextual multimedia study environment (MSE). Binary distinctions like literacy/illiteracy or online/offline are ‘wrinkled’ or complicated by introducing findings from an ethnographic study of the MSE in a graduate history of communication course.

Abstract:
This article reports on a study that explored what it means to be a mature-age Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander university graduate in the context of age, life-stage, history, culture, socioeconomic status, race and place. Using narrative interview data and fieldwork observation, we focus on the graduates’ workplace experiences and take a case study approach to amplify their voices. We argue that the data challenges the ideological construct of Australia as a ‘post-racial’ society and illustrates how interrelated variants of structural racism function to sanction, silence and control educated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, divide communities into quasi-hierarchies, and sustain white power and privilege. We show how these variants are expressed as low expectations, shadeism, culturism and privilege protectionism, and argue that their enactment can erect an invisible barrier to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander professional progression: a ‘white ceiling’ above which many graduates struggle to ascend.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background In 2013, milestone ratings became a reporting requirement for emergency medicine (EM) residency programs. Programs rate each resident in the fall and spring on 23 milestone subcompetencies. Objective This study examined the incidence of straight line scoring (SLS) for EM Milestone ratings, defined as a resident being assessed the same score across the milestone subcompetencies. Methods This descriptive analysis measured the frequencies of SLS for all Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)–accredited EM programs during the 2015–2016 academic year. Outcomes were the frequency of SLS in the fall and spring milestone assessments, changes in the number of SLS reports, and reporting trends. Chi-square analysis compared nominal variables. Results There were 6257 residents in the fall and 6588 in the spring. Milestone scores were reported for 6173 EM residents in the fall (99% of 6257) and spring (94% of 6588). In the fall, 93% (5753 residents) did not receive SLS ratings and 420 (7%) did, with no significant difference compared with the spring (5776 [94%] versus 397 [6%]). Subgroup analysis showed higher SLS results for residents' first ratings (183 of 2136 versus 237 of 4220, P < .0001) and for their final ratings (200 of 2019 versus 197 of 4354, P < .0001). Twenty percent of programs submitted 10% or more SLS ratings, and a small percentage submitted more than 50% of ratings as SLS. Conclusions Most programs did not submit SLS ratings. Because of the statistical improbability of SLS, any SLS ratings reduce the validity assertions of the milestone assessments.

Abstract:
Watching Deep Space Nine was an exercise in peering around corners and being unable to get a straight-on view of what I knew to be just beyond my field of vision. Not necessarily in terms of the greater world of the Star Trek universe – that I could see much more easily, as DS9 is still the only Star Trek series that took the time to consider what day-to-day life would be like in the greater world of the show outside of Federation starships thanks to it being set on a space station, boldly parking instead of going – but very specifically, in regards to Julian Bashir. The show’s primary medical character, a bright young doctor straight out of Starfleet Academy, who quickly learns there’s more to his mission than he thought while never losing any of his dedication or kindness.
 
 I’ve read about Alexander Siddig’s portrayal of Bashir, of his work turning him from someone deliberately unlikable into one of Star Trek’s beloved characters. I’m familiar with Bashir’s backstory and growth, his canonical developmental disorder and his transformation from fresh-faced graduate to hardened, mature officer. And throughout it all, I’ve always wondered, did they mean for him to sound like me?

Abstract:
Background: Backcare education administered in a group situation is one of the most effective and economic methods of treating back pain. It is based on available scientific knowledge of the physiology and mechanics of the spinal structures and their relationship to daily activities. It provides the patient with a better understanding of the problem, aiming primarily at helping the patient take responsibility for his or her back pain, while relieving pain and functional disability.Methods: This study was carried out on 100 patients of chronic low back pain, attending the OPD of Post Graduate Department of Orthopaedics, Government Medical College Jammu for a period of one year. Assessment was carried out before the treatment and after the treatment at four weeks, three months & six months post treatment. The following scales were used to measure the therapeutic response: the Modified Oswestry low back pain disability index, Visual analogue score (VAS), and clinical parameters like finger to floor distance and straight leg raising.Results: The patients showed significant improvement at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post treatment when compared to base-line data (p<0.001).Conclusions: It was concluded that all chronic low back pain patients would benefit from a group program of back care education.

Abstract:
The first recorded Aboriginal person to graduate with an undergraduate qualification from any Australian university was Aboriginal woman Margaret Williams-Weir in 1959 ( Melbourne University, 2018 ). Williams-Weir graduated with a Diploma in Education. There have now been six decades of graduating Indigenous Australian women in the discipline of education, and many other disciplines. In this article, we explore Indigenous women’s presence in higher education through the narratives of our lives as Aboriginal women within education and the lives of other Indigenous women, noting their achievements and challenges. We acknowledge that while the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women participating in university study and becoming engaged in education as a discipline at undergraduate and postgraduate levels has increased, we are still significantly underrepresented. Similarly, while we have seen increases in Indigenous university staff within the education discipline, the employment of Indigenous academics has not reached parity with non-Indigenous academics levels and too few are employed in the professoriate and in senior management positions. We will show how we would not have been able to develop our education careers within higher education without the bridges built by those like Dr Williams-Weir and others who went before us. We will share how we have worked to establish the footings for those Indigenous women who will follow us and others. In this way, we work within the context that is for the now and the future.

Abstract:
This survey was the first one investigating opinions of veterinary students in Croatia towards companion animals and their welfare, with special reference to dogs and cats as the most popular companion animals in the European Union. The study included students of all six years of the integrated undergraduate and graduate veterinary medicine study programme in Croatia. First-year students were surveyed twice, before and after having attended the course on animal welfare. Student opinions were assessed on the basis of their mean responses to five-point Likert scale questions and frequency of responses to Yes/No/I do not know questions and ratio scale questions. Study results revealed students to have strongly positive opinions towards companion animals and their welfare. The majority of student statements did not differ significantly between the first and sixth study years or before and after having attended the animal welfare course in the first study year, mostly yielding a straight, non-fluctuating line. Students were not sure whether welfare of companion dogs and cats was compromised. Study results pointed to reliable and reasonable opinions of veterinary medicine students in Croatia towards companion animals and their welfare, as well as to the welfare issues these species may be facing nowadays.

Abstract:
In 2008, almost 40% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students enrolled in the Graduate Diploma in Indigenous Health Promotion at The University of Sydney failed to complete the course. Although this was not considered unusual when compared to previous years, the decision was made to investigate why so many students struggled to meet the expectations of a course that was pedagogically progressive, culturally affirming, taught by highly regarded academics and strongly supported by the university and its stakeholders. A qualitative study using in-depth semi-structured interviews was conducted, and many complex and interrelated issues were explored. One issue that was raised both unexpectedly and emphatically by almost half the study participants who completed the course was the unintentional stifling of individual student effort and achievement through the development of co-dependent relationships between academic staff and students. This article presents the data relevant to this particular issue, reflects on the findings, and outlines some of the strategies implemented since this study commenced that have contributed to a healthy completion rate of 98% over the past 3 years.

This study is about semiotic approach education, based on representation s register theory by Raymond Duval (1993, 1995, 2005), found on article by French research Adjiage and Pluvinage (2000). In this article has proposed to consider the graduated straight line as a register of semiotic representation of rationals numbers, it indicates good results to education comparing to use of geometric figures dimension size 2, as chocolate bars, for example. Two questions guided this study: if the introduction of graduated straight line as a semiotic register to rationals numbers extends the possibility in opposition of difficulties to learn rationals numbers, and if it setups as element to help on Brazilian education. The dates for this analyze were Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais para o Ensino Fundamental (PCN) to 2nd cycle (3rd and 4th grades) and 3rd cycle (5th and 6th grades) and the volumes of a didactic books' collection to these grades. We could check that the graduated straight line's or geometric s register has potential that could to promote education because it designs as a true semiotic register with a lot of signs and adaptable to development of a set of skills. This approach isn't recommendation by PCN and it doesn't act in didactics books, in this case, we can infer that if it could be introduced among us it can be a element to help on Brazilian education<br>O presente trabalho tem por foco a introdução do conceito de número racional no Ensino Fundamental. Trata-se de um estudo sobre uma abordagem semiótica de ensino, fundamentada na teoria dos registros de representação de Raymond Duval (1993, 1995, 2005), apresentada num artigo dos pesquisadores franceses Adjiage e Pluvinage (2000). Nela é proposto que se considere a reta graduada como um registro de representação semiótica dos racionais, indicando ganhos para a aprendizagem comparativamente ao uso de figuras geométricas de dimensão 2, como as barras de chocolate, num papel figurativo. Duas questões nortearam este trabalho: se a introdução da reta graduada como um registro semiótico para os racionais de fato amplia a possibilidade de enfrentamento das dificuldades consagradas da aprendizagem dos racionais e se ela se configura como um elemento de auxílio para o ensino brasileiro. Os dados para a análise foram buscados nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais de Matemática para o Ensino Fundamental (PCN) do ciclo II (3ª e 4ª séries) e do ciclo III (5ª e 6ª séries) e nos volumes de duas coleções de livros didáticos referentes a essas séries. Pudemos concluir que o registro da reta graduada ou geométrico de dimensão 1 tem potencialidades que podem favorecer a aprendizagem, pois ela se configura como um verdadeiro registro semiótico rico em signos e mais adaptado ao desenvolvimento de um conjunto de competências. Essa abordagem não é recomendada nos PCN e nem aparece nos livros didáticos, levando-nos a inferir que se introduzida entre nós, pode se configurar como um elemento de auxílio para o ensino brasileiro

"This examination suggested classification schemes similar to existing schemes (e.g. Pomerantz 1978; Herbert 1988; Herbert and Straight 1989). In the end, the classification scheme that most appropriately fitted the data was similar to, but still different from, earlier classifications. It consisted of three broad categories (i.e. acceptances, mitigations, and rejections) and subcategories. The specific subcate-gories are provided in the Results and Discussion section of this article in Tables D5.1 and D5.2. Following guide-lines set forth by Krippendorf (1980) and Holsti (1969), the categories were exhaustive (i.e. all data were represented in one of the categories) and mutually exclusive (i.e. a response could belong to only one category). After the classification scheme was developed, one of the researchers and a graduate research assistant coded each of the English compliment responses as belong-ing to one of the categories. The Arabic compliment responses were coded by two of the researchers; one of whom is a native Arabic speaker. The coders worked independently and coded all of the compliment responses. Intercoder reliability was determined by comparing both coders’ scores. Intercoder reliability was 92 per cent for the American data and 88 per cent for the Arabic. Next, the coders reviewed the coding guide-lines and the items on which there was disagreement. They recoded until they came to a consensus; thus, in the end, agreement on all compliment responses was achieved. This section presents the analysis of the American and Syrian compliment response types." In Pragmatics and Discourse. Routledge, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9780203994597-45.

Abstract:
Abstract Defined by SPE as the application of basic and engineering sciences to the finding, development, and recovery of oil, gas and other resources from wells, petroleum engineering (PE) has been throughout the years falsely thought of as an amalgamation of other disciplines applied to the exploration and recovery of hydrocarbons. Integrating all PE subdisciplines in a manner efficient for teaching and learning is essential for securing the abundance of well-rounded market-attractive professionals. This paper discusses advantages individuals with PE background experience should exhibit in their employment in the oil and gas industry and academia. There is no point for students in going to school for a degree that will not hand them a competitive edge within their discipline. For graduate PEs, the job market is dependent on the quality of their respective academic programs and by extension to the quality of the teaching faculty. A steady oil and gas job market may not necessarily warrant robust employment opportunities, particularly straight after graduation. In a discipline like PE, where almost everything that matters takes place thousands of feet underground, apportioning credit for successes or responsibility for failures is itself a challenge. Decreases in student enrollments in PE programs reported by various universities during times of low oil and gas prices poses questions about the future of the PEs discipline, despite the steady demand for oil and gas in the world's energy mix. Academic programs interested in facilitating a smooth transition of their graduates into the industry should work in conjunction with practitioners to provide the correct balance between theory and practice in their coursework ensuring that once employment opportunities are created, they get filled with candidates of relevant education and training. PE degree-holding candidates should be the natural first choice for PE positions. This means that their educational and professional backgrounds should be providing them with an undisputed advantage which places them a leg above candidates from other disciplines. For instance, for a well completions job opening, there should not be a better alternative than a good PE specialized in well completions. If every PE graduate comes out of his or her program with a skillset which is superior to that of his or her competition, he or she will be the preferred choice for an oil and gas job.
