United States Experience with Music the Arts Curriculum and Implications for Teacher Education
For many years, when music was integrated into the curriculum it was done by the primary classroom teacher weaving music throughout the school experiences of the children. With careful planning, social studies, spelling, maths, art, physical education, and other curricular components were enhanced by having music contribute to broader understanding of them, and by helping to make experiences within those curricular components more interesting. The children would have opportunities to sing songs of the countries being studied in social studies, to learn spelling words and number combinations through chants or songs, to develop works of art while listening to music, to develop physically while doing movement activities in time to music, and so on

Pregnant Women’s Malaria Knowledge in Ebonyi State, South-East Nigeria
The study aimed at investigating knowledge of malaria among pregnant women in Ebonyi state, South-east Nigeria. The cross-sectional survey research design was adopted in the study. Stratified sampling technique was used in selecting 504 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in 12 hospitals in the state. A face validated, self constructed questionnaire which was subjected to a reliability test using Kuder Richardson Formula 20 (K-R 20) yielded a reliability value of 0.94. Percentages were used for analysis for the purpose of describing the data and chi-square statistic was used for the purpose of testing hypotheses. Results of the study showed that pregnant women had high (64.90%) level of knowledge regarding malaria. However, a good proportion of the pregnant women specifically had misconception about the cause of malaria and its mode of transmission. The pregnant women significantly differed in the knowledge of malaria with those having post secondary education (70.70%) showing better knowledge, followed by those with secondary (66.10%), primary (63.09%) and non-formal (55.70%) education. Location of residence was significantly associated with knowledge of malaria with those living in the urban area demonstrating better knowledge than those in the rural area. The high level of malaria knowledge among the women should be sustained through constant malaria health education interventions for pregnant women in the state. Intervention efforts should focus on rural pregnant women and formulated to accommodate the less educated members of this group as well as address misconceptions about the cause of malaria.

Malaria Preventive Practices among Pregnant Women in Ebonyi State, Nigeria
Malaria remains a global health challenge especially in sub-Sahara Africa where the most dangerous species thrive. It is a popular belief that the best way of halting the spread of any communicable disease is to adopt health preventive practices. A cross-sectional survey was carried out to determined malaria preventive practices among pregnant women in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Stratified sampling technique was used in selecting 504 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in 12 hospitals in the state. A face validated, self constructed questionnaire which was subjected to a reliability test using Cronbach Alpha method yielded a reliability value of 0.91. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics of mean and inferential statistics of T-test and ANOVA. Results showed that pregnant women often ( Â = 1.70-3.05) adopted most of the malaria preventive practices. There was a significant difference in 9 out of 11 malaria preventive practices adpted by women who reside in urban and rural areas in favour of women who reside in the urban areas. Level of education significantly affected malaria preventive practices in favour of women with post secondary education. Intervention efforts should focus on rural pregnant women and formulated to accommodate the less educated members of this group.

Mechanistic insights into a BINOL-derived phosphoric acid-catalyzed asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction.
The reaction of tryptamine and (2-oxocyclohexyl)acetic acid can be catalyzed by 3,3'-bis(triphenylsilyl)-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol phosphoric acid to give an asymmetric β-carboline. This reaction was first studied by Holloway et al. ( Org. Lett. 2010 , 12 , 4720 - 4723 ), but their mechanistic work did not explain the high stereoselectivity achieved. This study uses density functional theory and hybrid quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations to investigate this reaction and provide a model to explain its outcome. The step leading to diastereo- and enantioselectivity is an asymmetric Pictet-Spengler reaction involving an N-acyliminium ion bound to the catalyst in a bidentate fashion. This interaction occurs via hydrogen bonds between the two terminal oxygen atoms of the catalyst phosphate group and the hydrogen atoms at N and C2 of the substrate indole group. These bonds hold the transition structure rigidly and thus allow the catalyst triphenylsilyl groups to influence the enantioselectivity.We thank Girton College, Cambridge (research fellowship to M.N.G.), the EPSRC (studentship to M.N.G.), and Unilever for support.The is the final published version.
