Getting Started as a Medical Teacher in Times of Change
No full textMedical school teaching is a skill that is very often learned on the job. The faculty comprised of researchers and clinicians are expert in many biomedical disciplines, but familiarity with learning theories and pedagogy are usually not included in their knowledge and skill sets. The pressure to see patients and acquire extramural funding leaves little time for faculty to learn how to teach. When coupled with the natural attrition of senior faculty it is necessary to start junior faculty on the correct path to being effective medical educators who are capable of lecturing and facilitating. Institutions cannot afford to have medical educators learn through trial and error. The standards set by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) are also creating an urgency to produce competent teachers as quickly as possible. Novice teachers need to be able to use these standards to align their teaching with goals, objectives and the appropriate pedagogy. This article is designed to be a self-directed guide describing some essentials that a newly hired faculty member can quickly use to get started. An institutional faculty development program can then serve to build upon and enrich the experience for the new faculty member.This is the authors' accepted manuscript of the article.

Chinommatia turpis Ng & Castro, 2016, n. sp.
No full textChinommatia turpis n. sp. (Fig. 15 E, F; 25F; 32E; 43I, J; 53E; 60D; 76A‒E) Type material. Holotype male (3.1 × 4.3 mm) (MNHN-IU-2013-9044), Vanuatu, Espiritu Santo I., Big Bay, MUSORSTOM 8, stn DW1115, 15°10’S, 166°53'E, 147–150 m, 0 9.10.1994. Diagnosis. Carapace (Fig. 15 E, F) of holotype male subovate, convex, 1.4 wider than long; front bilobed, with shallow median cleft; anterolateral margins arcuate, row of conspicuous, elevated tubercles (17 on right side) along each margin; thick, short tomentum on dorsal, lateral surfaces of carapace. Eye peduncle (Fig. 25 F) filling orbit, short, thick, mobile; cornea large, not reduced, pigmented. Epistome (Fig. 25 F) with semicircular median lobe with deep median fissure, semicircular lateral margins. Third maxilliped (Fig. 32 E) merus ovate, anteroexternal angle rounded; ischium rectangular, slightly longer than merus. Proportionally short ambulatory legs (Fig. 15 E), with conspicuous tomentum; P5 merus 0.5 cl. Chelipeds (Figs. 15 E; 43I, J) subequal in length, heteromorphic; fingers of minor chela (Fig. 43 J) subcircular in cross-section, scissor-like, cutting margins with few short teeth; large teeth on cutting margin of major chela of males (Fig. 43 I). Inner margin of cheliped carpus with short tooth. Ventral surface of cheliped merus with row of tubercles on inner margin. Inner margin of cheliped carpus with short tooth (Fig. 15 E). Fused thoracic sternites 1, 2 (Fig. 53 E) semicircular, broad, long. Male pleon (Figs. 53 E; 60D) with proportionally long telson. G1 (Fig. 76 A‒C) slender, distal segment slightly straight, tapered, with short spinules. G2 (Fig. 76 D, E) about 1/3 G1 length, straight, short distal segment. Female unknown. Etymology. The epithet turpis is from the Latin for “filthy” and “dirty” alluding to the appearance of the species in life. The name is used as a noun in apposition. Remarks. Despite the small size of the holotype, it is already fully mature with the gonopods fully developed. In size and general features, C. turpis n. sp. most closely resembles C. littoralis (Tesch, 1918) by the form of the anterolateral margin; being lined with small granules in C. littoralis (Fig. 15 A) but covered with larger, uneven ones in C. turpis n. sp. (Fig. 15 E, F). In addition, the ocular peduncle of C. turpis n. sp. (Fig. 25 F) is proportionately shorter than C. littoralis (Fig. 25 E); and the merus of the third maxilliped is relatively wider and more quadrate in C. turpis n. sp. (Fig. 32 E) compared to that in C. littoralis (Fig. 32 C). Since C. littoralis is only known from a female specimen from Indonesia, comparisons of the male characters are not possible. Chinommatia turpis n. sp. is unusual among Chinommatia species in that it is not only the most pilose member of the genus, it also has proportionately the shortest eye. In addition, the G1 structure of C. turpis n. sp. is relatively more slender, especially along its distal half, than congeners, and the G2 is relatively shorter. In the characters of the eye, G1, and G2, C. turpis n. sp. more closely resembles species of Statommatia n. gen. Chinommatia turpis n. sp. nevertheless possesses a key diagnostic character for Chinommatia: the eye is mobile. The eye is fused to the cephalothorax in Statommatia n. gen. species. The status of C. turpis n. sp. should be reappraised when more material (including females) becomes available. Distribution. Known only from Vanuatu.

Chasmocarcinus gemmatus Ng & Castro, 2016, n. sp.
No full textChasmocarcinus gemmatus n. sp. (Figs. 3 F; 5C; 21G; 29A; 36A, B; 49G; 56F; 64G‒I) Type material. Holotype male (7.7 × 11.6 mm) (SIO C 1205), Costa Rica, Golfo de Nicoya, Agassiz, 0 9°37.4’N— 0 9°37.7’N, 84°49.0’W— 84°51.8’W, 86 m, 25-feet otter trawl, C. Hubbs coll., 22.04.1973. Diagnosis. Anterolateral margins of carapace (Fig. 3 F) smooth, not cristate. Orbits long, proportionally long eye peduncles (Fig. 21 G). Posterior margin of epistome (Fig. 21 G) with semicircular median lobe with median fissure, lateral margins straight. Antennular articles relatively short (Fig. 21 G). Third maxilliped (Fig. 29 A) ischium elongated, about same size as ovate merus, leaving gap between maxillipeds. Bulging pterygostomial region, clearly visible from dorsal view (Fig. 5 C). Fingers of major chela of male (Fig. 36 A) proportionally long, curved, slightly longer than propodus in dorsal view; pollex as long as dactylus, with short teeth, larger along proximal cutting margin, submarginal parts of cutting edge of dactylus lined with dense short setae. Fingers of minor chela of males (Fig. 36 B) scissor-like; with small, sharp teeth. Outer margin of cheliped carpus (Fig. 3 F) with blunt tooth. Ambulatory legs (Fig. 3 F) proportionally short, folded P5 merus only reaching middle portion of anterolateral margin; no subdistal spur on P5 dactylus. Fused thoracic sternites 1, 2 (Fig. 49 G) broadly triangular, proportionally narrow, long. Male pleon (Figs. 49 G, 56F) with proportionally long, narrow telson. G1 slender, widened subdistal half, spinules along distal third (Fig. 64 G, H). G2 (Fig. 64 I) straight, slender, distal segment long, slightly curved; about 3/4 as long as G1. Female unknown. Etymology. The name is derived from the Latin for “twin,” alluding to the close resemblance of this species to its analogous Western Atlantic species, Chasmocarcinus typicus. Remarks. Chasmocarcinus gemmatus n. sp. is most similar to C. typicus from the Caribbean Sea in the form of the adult major chela, with the fingers long, slender and distinctly curved. Chasmocarcinus gemmatus n. sp. nevertheless differs in having the carapace proportionately broader (Fig. 3 F) (carapace narrower in C. typicus, Fig. 2 A–D); proportionately shorter ambulatory legs (Fig. 3 F) (proportionately shorter in C. typicus, Fig. 2 A–D); the antennular articles are relatively shorter (Fig. 21 G) (usually distinctly longer in C. typicus, Fig. 21 A); and the distal part of the G1 is more sharply tapering and less flared (Fig. 64 G, H) (distal part of G1 distinctly more flared in C. typicus, Fig. 63 A, B). Chasmocarcinus gemmatus n. sp. thus appears to be the Eastern Pacific analog of C. typicus. Chasmocarcinus gemmatus n. sp. can easily be separated from its Eastern Pacific congeners (notably C. latipes, which it has been found together in Golfo de Nicoya, Costa Rica) in having a more trapezoidal carapace, the pterygostomial region being distinct and visible from dorsal view (lower and less swollen in the other species), absence of a spur on P5 (present, for example, in C. chacei), and the dilated median part of the G1 with the tip more flared (evening tapering in the other species with no obvious flare at the tip).

A sinfonia do sagrado em Castro Alves: (Deus, Eros e mãe em Os escravos)
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.No presente trabalho realiza-se uma leitura intertextual entre a Bíblia e Os escravos, coletânea de poemas de teor abolicionista do poeta romântico Antônio Frederico de Castro Alves (1847-1871), objetivando demonstrar que os textos poéticos arquitetam-se na desconstrução e reconstrução dos textos bíblicos. A leitura dos poemas centra-se nos personagens: Deus, Eros e Mãe, os quais conformam uma trindade poética/sagrada. A pesquisa divide-se em três movimentos: Prelúdios do sagrado no Romantismo, Tríade melódica e À guisa de coda: trindade poética. No primeiro efetuam-se algumas aproximações ao conceito do sagrado e aos Romantismos francês e brasileiro. O seguinte corresponde à leitura das composições, através das linhas melódicas: A dualidade de Deus, A ambivalência de Eros e O duplo calvário da Mãe escrava. E no último movimento amalgamam-se as inter-relações entre a trindade cristã e poética e os dramas bíblico e poético
Sous-facteurs de L(F∞) d'indice 4cos2π/n,n≥3
No full textLet Q be a factor of type II1, λ a number in the Jones discrete series {4cosπ/m:m≥3}, and {ei} the Jones projections associated with λ. Denote by A2n and A1n the finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras generated, respectively, by {1,e2,⋯,en} and {1,e1,⋯,en}, with the corresponding traces. The author shows that, for n sufficiently large, the index of the inclusion An=(Q⊗A2n)∗A2nA1n⊂(Q⊗A2n+1)∗A2n+1A1n+1=An+1 is equal to λ (here ∗ denotes the reduced, amalgamated free product of the algebras in question). Using the random matrix model of Voiculescu, he proves that if Q is the von Neumann algebra L(F∞) of the free group with infinitely many generators, then An is isomorphic to L(F∞).
The two facts together imply the existence, for any λ in the Jones discrete series, of an irreducible subfactor of L(F∞) of index λ. This constitutes the first example of a nonhyperfinite, non-Γ II1 factor such that its Jones invariant is fully computable (the existence of nonirreducible subfactors of L(F∞) for any index ≥4 is a simple consequence of known results)

Diagnosis. Carapace (Fig. 16 E, F) subtrapezoidal, convex dorsally, 1.2–1.3 wider than long; front bilobed, with shallow median cleft; anterolateral margins arcuate, minutely granular with granules higher along lateral margins, without distinct lobes or teeth. Eye peduncle (Fig. 26 C) filling orbit, short, immobile; cornea reduced, with reduced pigmentation. Posterior margin of epistome (Fig. 26 C) with semicircular median lobe with deep median fissure, semicircular lateral margins. Third maxilliped (Fig. 33 E) merus subquadrate, ischium subrectangular, slightly longer than merus. Proportionally short ambulatory legs (Fig. 16 E, F); P5 merus 0.7 cl. Chelipeds (Figs. 16 E, F; 45G, H) subequal in length, slightly dissimilar in females, heteromorphic in males; fingers of minor chela (Fig. 45 H) subcircular in cross-section, scissor-like, cutting margins with small teeth; dactylus of major chela of males (Fig. 45 G) curved, forming wide, round gap when closed, reduced teeth. Ventral surface of cheliped merus with row of 5, 6 large pointed tubercles along outer margin (Fig. 42 N). Inner margin of cheliped carpus with short distal tooth (Fig. 16 E, F). Fused thoracic sternites 1, 2 (Fig. 54 C) semicircular, broad, long. Male pleon (Figs. 54 C; 61C) with proportionally short telson. G1 (Fig. 77 I‒K) slender, slightly curved, with short spinules. G2 (Fig. 77 L) about 1/2 G1 length, curved, slender, distal segment proportionally short. Female telson (Fig. 88 B) proportionally long. Sterno-pleonal cavity of female (Fig. 91 F) deep, vulvae relatively close together, located on outer margins of cavity close to suture 5/6. Remarks. Statommatia malagasy n. sp. is externally similar to S. apta, notably in the form of the carapace and chelipeds. It can be distinguished from S. apta, however, by its proportionally shorter and stouter ambulatory legs, especially the merus (Fig. 16 E, F) (relatively more slender and longer in S. apta, Fig. 16 A‒C), somite 6 of the male pleon is more quadrate, being not much wider than long (Fig. 54 C) (rectangular, being distinctly wider than long in S. apta; Fig. 54 A, B), presence of sharp teeth on the ventral surface of the cheliped meri (low granules in S. apta), and the G1 is more slender and longer (Fig. 77 I‒K) (relatively stouter and shorter in S. apta, Fig. 77 A‒C). Their known ranges are widely separated, with S. malagasy n. sp. in Madagascar and S. apta in Philippines. Distribution. Known only from Madagascar.
