The Power of Voice: The Indian Arts Research Centers Identity Shift

Over the past three decades and in a significant shift, museum professionals have been collaborating with tribal communities by incorporating their voices into the daily tasks of exhibition design, education, and programs, as well as collections care and storage. This study will examine the Indian Arts Research Center\u27s history and identity by highlighting collaborative projects that have resulted in the inclusion of Native voices and in some cases a joint decision-making process, which I argue has shifted the IARC\u27s institutional identity. In the past, the IARC collection has mostly been managed and created by non-Native people, and Native input was not always consistently included. This shift to collaboration is significant in that it has created partnerships with tribal communities no longer is the relationship between institutions and communities a one-way street. This study will also bring voices of IARC staff, Native artists, and cultural advisers to the forefront

Historias de vida docente: una mirada émica a la motivación del profesorado

La motivación de los profesores es factor relevante en relación con su grado de satisfacción y de bienestar respecto de su tarea. Además, se considera que puede incidir en los resultados de sus alumnos. Por otro lado, tiene importancia en la implantación de mejoras y reformas educativas, en tanto el profesor es quien las lleva a la práctica del aula. La motivación de los profesores ha sido estudiada en base a paralelismos con la de los alumnos, pudiéndose analizar atribuciones, expectativas, creencias sobre el aprendizaje, emociones y autoconcepto, elementos que configuran posibles orientaciones motivacionales. Este trabajo presenta los resultados de un estudio en el que se abordan estos elementos, desde una perspectiva émica, analizando las representaciones que los profesores se hacen acerca de las razones que les impulsaron a elegir su profesión, y a las que los mantienen en ella. Se hicieron entrevistas en profundidad a nueve profesores elegidos a propósito por el nivel educativo en el que se desempeñan y por sus años de experiencia profesional. El estudio muestra que en el discurso de los profesores emergen categorías establecidas desde la perspectiva ética e informa de otras categorías elicitadas que permiten reconsiderar algunos aspectos de los modelos preexistentes

Development of a rapid diagnostic test for the detection of antibodies or antigens to Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The global health crisis caused by COVID-19 has overwhelmed both healthcare settings and economies globally. While mass population testing has improved drastically, recent reviews of existing methods have highlighted various shortcomings with these methods. The aim of this project was to investigate whether the LAA could be modified and utilised as a rapid detection test which either matched or exceeded the existing sensitivity and specificity values. The latex agglutination assay (LAA) investigated whether the COVID-19 spike protein could be detected in samples. COVID-19-specific IgM and IgG were used in conjunction with a series of non-specific antigens. Control or AG-containing samples were mixed with AB-microsphere complexes on glass microscope slides. Manual visualisation identified various levels of agglutination. Light microscopy and spectrophotometry at 405 nm determined that the LAA could detect at least 2.3 ng of spike protein. The particle-counting tool of ImageJ was utilised to obtain a data set which was subjected to statistical analysis which indicated that there was a significant difference between control samples and live tests, P = 0.000102 for the spike protein assay and P = 0.254 for the non-specific assay respectively. The results obtained fell in line with a similar study conducted by Buffin et al. in 2018. The analytical methods used in this project twinned with data obtained in previous studies supports the significant difference between control values and live test values. The LAA is easier, quicker to use (results in ≤ 30 minutes) and cheaper, with potentially better sensitivity to existing methods. This could benefit high- and low-income countries alike upon further research and optimisation

Clima motivacional de clase. En búsqueda de matices

Estudiar la motivación para elaprendizaje requiere la consideración de lo quesucede en las interacciones que se producen en elaula y en el contexto escolar.

Juvenile Family Amaurotic Idiocy

This rare disease, considered on of the lipidoses in modern nosology, is presented as a case report of a family in which four siblings were afflicted with the disease. Included in this paper are the clinical and morbid histological findings of one of the siblings who died of the disease and fundus photographs of the two surviving children. The literature is reviewed

Wave Attenuation and Shoreline Protection by a Fringing Reef System

While knowledge on coastal dynamics is essential to guarantee well-informed decision making, information is still scarce, particularly regarding areas with the presence of coral reefs and other complex ecosystems. The objective of the present study was to contribute towards the understanding of wave attenuation and shoreline protection at different tide moments by a fringing reef system located in a Southwestern Atlantic archipelago. The predominant directions of offshore waves adjacent to the archipelago were ESE, SE, E and SSE. Coral reefs demonstrated high efficiency in wave height attenuation even under higher energy conditions during high tides. Erosion hot-spots along the archipelago were associated with rip currents, which were greatly reduced or absent during low tides. Coral reef conservation is essential to maintain shoreline protection and information on reef geomorphology should be included in reef status protocols to help advance this field of knowledge
