Uso de mapas mentales como método para ayudar a estudiantes de ESL/EFL a conectar vocabulario y conceptos en diferentes contextos

Current knowledge about the ways in which the brain works shows that thinking is not linear. Individuals can better understand concepts when they have visual representations of those ideas. These pictorial diagrams are manifestations of Radiant Thinking. Understanding how the mind works to connect concepts, helps educators provide vocabulary strategies that support students’ learning. Mind Mapping has proven to be a good technique for memorizing, creative thinking, and learning. This paper reflects on how mind mapping helps ESL/EFL students connect concepts in different contexts through the assistance of pictorial representations by hand and by the use of software that enables learners to create associations between words and images in order to better learn and memorize information in a second language.El funcionamiento del cerebro muestra que el pensamiento no es lineal. Las personas pueden entender mejor los conceptos cuando tienen representaciones visuales de las ideas. Estas imágenes son personificaciones externas de «Pensamiento Irradiante». El comprender cómo funciona la mente para conectar conceptos, ayuda a los educadores a proporcionar estrategias de vocabulario que apoyen el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. El diseño de mapas mentales, a mano o mediante el uso de software, ha demostrado ser una buena técnica para el pensamiento creativo y el aprendizaje. Este estudio reflexiona sobre cómo los mapas mentales ayudan a los estudiantes ESL/EFL a conectar conceptos en diferentes contextos, permitiéndoles crear asociaciones entre palabras e imágenes para aprender mejor y memorizar la información en un segundo idioma

The effect of the Chesapeake Corporation on the water quality of the upper York River with respect to total and fecal coliforms and fecal streptococci

Levels of total and fecal coliforms and fecal streptococci in the Mattaponi, Pamunkey and York Rivers were monitored for one year in the vicinity of the town of West Point, Virginia. These parameters were also determined for selected process waste waters and effluents from the Chesapeake Corporation, West Point, Virginia

The nuanced negative: Meanings of a negative diagnostic result in clinical exome sequencing

Genomic sequencing technology is moving rapidly from the research setting into clinical medicine but significant technological and interpretive challenges remain. Whole exome sequencing (WES) in its recent clinical application provides a genetic diagnosis in about 25% of cases (Berg 2014). While this diagnostic yield is substantial, it also indicates that in a majority of cases, patients are receiving negative results (i.e., no explanatory genetic variant found) from this technology. There are a number of uncertainties regarding the meaning of a negative result in the current context of WES. A negative result may be due to current technological limitations that hinder detection of disease-causing variants or to gaps in the knowledge base that prohibit accurate interpretation of their pathogenicity; or it may indicate that there is not a genetic etiology for the disorder. In this paper we examine the uncertainties and nuances of the negative result from genome sequencing and how both clinicians and patients make meaning of it as revealed in ethnographic observations of the clinic session where results are returned, and in interviews with patients. We find that clinicians and patients construct the meaning of a negative result in ways that are uncertain, contingent, and multivalent; but invested with optimism, promise, and potentiality
