Airport Innovations and Innovators

Airports are facing challenges from increased capacity, funding airport infrastructure projects, finding new sources of revenue, to developing new talent. With all of these challenges, airport leadership seek alternative solutions and innovate personnel to produce customer-centric airport designs. New methods of funding are providing high-cost renovations to large airports such as LaGuardia (Plotnick, 2017, Oct. 5). Other airport leadership has developed commissions such as the Economic Development Commission of Florida’s Space Coast to lure significant aerospace companies to their community (The Editorial Board, Florida Today, 2017, Oct. 27). Airport leaders are also active in bringing large flight schools and redeveloping their airport to increase economic growth to their community (Ditzler, 2017). The development of future airport leaders is in the forefront of Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport’s mission to cultivate the aviation community (personal communication, November 1st, 2017). Innovations and innovators are bringing solutions to the challenges facing the airport communities

Breast milk and labour support: lactation consultants’ and doulas’ strategies for navigating the medical context of maternity care

This article provides a comparison of two occupational groups working in maternity care: International Board Certified Lactation Consultants, who assist women with breastfeeding, and DONA International certified birth doulas, who provide physical, emotional and informational support to birthing women. Using interviews with 18 lactation consultants and 16 doulas working in the USA, I compare these two groups’ strategies for gaining entrance to the maternity care team and their abilities to create change in maternity care practices. Due to the organisation of occupational boundaries in maternity care and differences between the influence of the medicalisation of breastfeeding versus that of childbirth on those boundaries, lactation consultants are able to utilise a front‐door entrance to the medical maternity system, entering as lactation specialists and advocates, while doulas use a back‐door entrance, emphasising their care work and downplaying their advocacy. These different strategies result in different methods being available to each for effecting change. Lactation consultants create formal change, such as changing hospital policies and practices to be more pro‐breastfeeding. Doulas create change informally, ‘one birth at a time’, by creating space for natural birth to occur in the hospital, as well as exposing medical providers to non‐medical ways of giving birth.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/99048/1/shil12010.pd

Early Care and Education Testimonios at the Borderlands

Latinas represent a large proportion of the United States early care and education workforce, and thus have the potential to wield significant influence over the growth and development of millions of American children. However, the voices of Latina early childhood professionals often are missing in both research and mass media. Instead, social, political, and academic frames cast Latinas as foreign regardless of nationality, uneducated notwithstanding expertise, and passive despite action and influence. This testimonio analysis draws on Chicana feminist epistemology to re-center the perspectives of Latina child care providers and reveal more authentic insights on how they understand and perform their roles within the broader social contexts that define and delimit Latina identity in the United States. The collective account that emerges from their testimonios is one of straddling multiple borders: between influence and invisibility, between the personal and the professional, and between community and isolation

Colorful Techniques In Canvas: Engaging Gen Z With Visual Learning In A Blended Environment

In today’s day and age of a dynamic education system, it is crucial to keep students engaged, especially in a blended environment. There are a plethora of techniques available in the learning management system, that can propagate healthy and interactive learning outcomes for students. The learning management system that we will use to demonstrate is Canvas. Everyone can create, conversations in Canvas! Utilizing apps into online course environments allows instructors and learners to communicate in an interactive method creating visual cues to demonstrate learning objectives. Instructors are discovering the possibilities of reaching their audience with images, videos, Keynote, and animation to engage today’s learner. The instructor can create projects in the form of infographics (showing the historic development of an event, such as, the history of aviation) and increase interactivity using animation. The instructor’s personality and experience is added by creatively using the technology to bridge the generational gap between the participants and course creator. Learners will learn through the zestful online environment adding a combination of humor, visual life, and information. Incorporating lectures through Keynote with the addition of animation, clip art, and podcasts transport the student through their course tasks to the ultimate goal of reaching the learning objectives. In addition, this suite of apps can be used in any online course in other ways, from creating mini podcasts, to encouraging engagement by allowing learners to dive into their creative sides. The 45 minute session will focus on the introduction of these apps and ways to integrate them into your online class, and requires use of your iPad Pro and the most updated versions of the iOS, Keynote, Clips, Garage Band, and Tsukasa Sketches School. Let’s get to Coloring our Canvas Learning Environments! Level of Participation: The session will begin with an introduction and few examples of the online learning experience through the years to show the growth of the platform for five to seven minutes. We intend to quickly involve the audience by showing a typical Canvas Course and then examples of what the course can look like with a few simple applications (Keynote and Clips) to visually engage the learners for ten to fifteen minutes. We will demonstrate and then move towards involving the audience to work through a few prepared activities to incorporate in their online learning environment for the remainder of the workshop. All attendees will receive cheat-sheets to help them create and implement the learnings from this session. Session Goals: Participants attending this express workshop will be able to utilize several interactive strategies for a blended course in higher education. Upon completion of this session, individuals will be able to use: Keynote: Explore Magic move Explore animation Increase interactivity with students Clips: Trim and arrange clips Design posters, stickers, emoji, and your own photos Apply filters and music to enhance mood Canvas: Creating Home Page Exploring GIF’s Explore animatio

Elucidating the mechanics of clathrin-mediated endocytosis

Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is a key metabolic pathway that plays a central role in the delivery of nutrients and drug carriers into cells. In this study, we model the interactions of lipid membranes with different types of protein scaffolds and active forces to provide mechanistic insights into CME. To this end, we develop and employ an extended theoretical framework of lipid membranes that entertains spatial heterogeneity and local anisotropy that could arise from membrane–protein interactions. We show that a departure from homogeneity and isotropy can lead to a variable surface tension field, conventionally assumed to be a constant parameter. We model the impact of resting tension in a cell and discuss its consequences on the minimal protein machinery needed to complete vesicle formation. Based on our quantitative model and findings, we highlight the physical principles that unify CME in apparently distinct yeast and mammalian cells

Working With Faith-Based Communities to Develop an Education Tool kit on Relationships, Sexuality, and Contraception

Communities disproportionately affected from higher rates of unplanned teen births are in need of sustainable approaches to prevention strategies. One approach is to build the capacity of faith-based communities (FBCs) to address the sexual health needs of the surrounding community. However there is a need for comprehensive, user-friendly resources designed for FBCs that provide critical decision-making information related to pregnancy prevention inclusive of contraception. Using community-based, theoretical and practice-informed strategies, we developed a user-friendly sexuality education tool kit in five phases: (1) building relationships with faith leaders; (2) piloting educational sessions within churches; (3) gaining insight from participating faith leaders; (4) creating the tool kit; and (5) collecting feedback from training and implementation. Our findings suggest faith leaders remained motivated to overcome perceived barriers by their mission to serve their communities. A sexuality education tool kit that is respectful and guided by the input of FBCs can be a viable and innovative approach to address teen pregnancy

La regulación sobre la sustitución judicial del régimen de sociedad de gananciales y su afectación al principio de protección familiar

El presente trabajo de investigación denominado “La regulación de la sustitución judicial del régimen de sociedad de gananciales y su afectación al principio de protección de la familia”, está orientado a determinar la manera en que la regulación del artículo 329, referido a la sustitución judicial del régimen de sociedad de gananciales, afecta el principio constitucional de protección familiar. Por tanto, el enunciado del problema es como sigue: ¿De qué manera la regulación sobre la sustitución judicial del régimen de sociedad de gananciales afecta el principio de protección de la familia, en el Perú?, y se formula como hipótesis la siguiente: “la regulación sobre la sustitución judicial del régimen de sociedad de gananciales afecta vulnerando el principio de protección de la familia”. En tal sentido, con la finalidad de efectuar el análisis del problema formulado, se ha empleado métodos lógicos, entre los que se ubica el método deductivo, inductivo y el analítico; adicionalmente, se emplearon métodos jurídicos tales como el método dogmático, hermenéutico y comparativo. Por otro lado, respecto a las técnicas de recolección de datos utilizadas, se encuentra el análisis bibliográfico y documental, para ello se emplearon instrumentos como fichas bibliográficas, uso de internet, otros. Finalmente, tras la investigación realizada, se arribó a la conclusión principal que la regulación sobre la sustitución judicial del régimen de sociedad de gananciales afecta vulnerando el principio de protección de la familia, esto debido a que el Código Civil peruano, en su artículo 329, regula causales de sustitución restrictivas y que revisten de un carácter subjetivo – como el caso del dolo y la culpa – lo que trae como consecuencia una dificultad probatoria que conlleva al rechazo de las demandas por parte de los órganos judiciales. Así, en lugar prever causales que velen por la integridad de la familia, su unión y prevalencia, solo se ubican en una situación en que la relación conyugal está deteriorada al haberse defraudado la confianza; de manera que, la sustitución judicial tal como está prevista se convierte en un mecanismo inoperante al no significar una vía pacífica para la solución de un conflicto de intereses, sino que, por el contrario, implica el sometimiento de los cónyuges a un proceso engorroso y vano, donde lo único que se consigue es el resquebrajamiento total de la relación familiar.The present research work entitled "The regulation of the judicial substitution of the community property regime and its effect on the principle of protection of the family", is oriented to determine the way in which the regulation of article 329, referred to the judicial substitution of the community property regime, affects the constitutional principle of family protection. Therefore, the statement of the problem is as follows: ¿How does the regulation on the judicial substitution of the community property regime affect the principle of protection of the family in Peru?, and the following hypothesis is formulated as follow: "the regulation on the judicial substitution of the community property regime affects the principle of protection of the family". In this sense, in order to analyze the formulated problem, logical methods were used, among which are the deductive, inductive and analytical methods; additionally, legal methods such as the dogmatic, hermeneutic and comparative methods were used. On the other hand, with respect to the data collection techniques used, the bibliographic and documentary analysis is found, for which instruments such as bibliographic cards, use of the Internet, etc. were used. Finally, after the research carried out, the main conclusion was reached that the regulation on the judicial substitution of the community property regime affects violating the principle of protection of the family, this because the Peruvian Civil Code, in its article 329, regulates restrictive causes of substitution and that have a subjective character - as the case of fraud and guilt - which brings as a consequence a difficulty of proof that leads to the rejection of the claims by the judicial bodies. Thus, instead of foreseeing grounds that watch over the integrity of the family, its union and prevalence, they are only placed in a situation in which the conjugal relationship is deteriorated because trust has been defrauded; Therefore, the judicial substitution as it is foreseen becomes an inoperative mechanism since it does not mean a peaceful way for the solution of a conflict of interests, but, on the contrary, it implies the submission of the spouses to a cumbersome and vain process, where the only thing that is achieved is the total breakdown of the family relationship.Tesi
