Peer assisted learning in athletic training education: prevalence, utilization, effectiveness, and potential benefits
No full text2010 Fall.Includes bibliographical references.Because athletic training education has been just recently standardized and accredited in comparison to other allied health care education programs, this mixed method study was designed to answer multiple research questions regarding the use of formalized peer assisted learning (PAL) in athletic training education. The research questions concentrated on: (a) the prevalence of formalized PAL in athletic training education, (b) how athletic training education program (ATEP) directors view formalized PAL in regard to familiarity, comfort using formalized PAL and effectiveness of PAL, (c) Which ATEP directors utilize PAL in relation to amount of time as an ATEP director, amount of pedagogical training and amount of time teaching at the college/university level, (d) what are the reasons that formalized PAL is used and is not used, (e) in what athletic training educational settings is formalized PAL utilized and finally, (f) will athletic training students (ATSs) who participate in a formalized PAL program have greater success in passing the Board of Certification national exam for certifying athletic trainers. To answer the questions the researcher designed an original survey instrument, pilot tested the instrument then invited all (343) directors from accredited ATEPs to participate in the on line survey via SurveyMonkey®. Forty-six ATEP directors chose to participate in the on line survey. The researcher used SPSS Graduate Pack™ 16.0 for Mac® to analyze the data and calculate the appropriate descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests. Following the analysis of the quantitative survey data, the researcher conducted follow-up interviews with four ATEP directors in order to gather qualitative data to further explain why formalized PAL is or is not utilized in athletic training education. The findings from this study in regard to the independent samples t-tests were statistically insignificant. When attempting to see if there was a relationship between an ATSs participation in a formalized PAL program and their subsequent success in passing the BOC exam for entry-level athletic trainers, the researcher found that 11 of the 46 survey participants chose not to divulge their students' first time passing rate. Moreover, the same 11 survey participants also reported not utilizing formalized PAL. Hence, even though the findings were calculated as statistically insignificant, the researcher does feel these findings were somewhat inconclusive. Additionally the researcher did not find a significant relationship between the amount of time an ATEP director had taught at the college/university level and their use of formalized PAL. Over the span of the 2005-06 through the 2008-09 academic years, the use of formalized PAL in ATEPs did increase slightly, however informal PAL was still the most frequent response in regard to the use of any type of PAL utilized. Overall, 45.7% of the survey participants reported feeling that PAL was an effective teaching strategy and 10.9% of the survey participants felt PAL was a very effective teaching strategy. After conducting the follow-up interviews, the researcher found that of the four interviewees, three were familiar with the concept of PAL, though none of them had a formalized program within their respective curriculums. One interviewee was interested in learning more about using PAL as a teaching technique. The collective findings of this study provide a foundation for additional research to determine what teaching techniques ATEP directors are utilizing and what teaching strategies are proving to be most beneficial to ATSs in regard to passing the rigorous BOC exam on the first attempt. Furthermore, the researcher of this study feels that this study also helped emphasize the need for all athletic trainers to be adequately trained to teach regardless of their practice setting
Profil Kemampuan Argumentasi Lisan Berbasis Socioscientific Issues Mahasiswa Pendidikan IPA pada Mata Kuliah Mikrobiologi
Get PDFThis study aims to determine the profile of students' oral argumentation skills based on Socioscientific Issues in the Microbiology course. This type of research is a descriptive study in order to obtain an overview of the quality of oral arguments of sixth semester students. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, totaling 37 students of science class 2017. The instruments used were audio recordings and anecdotal notes. The assessment of the quality of students' oral arguments is based on the Toulmin's Argumentation Pattern (TAP) pattern which consists of claim, data, warrant, backing, and rebuttal elements. The results showed that science students had the quality of oral argumentation which was still at level 1 where student arguments only consist of simple claims with opposing claims obtaining a percentage of 12%,, level 2 had a percentage rate of 88% while level 3%, level 4% and level 5% of 0% means scientific argumentation ability science students are still relatively low. This finding will be the basis for researchers to evaluate the learning program that has been applied in the Microbiology course and become the basis for further research related to learning strategies in improving the oral argumentation skills of prospective science teachers.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui profil kemampuan argumentasi lisan mahasiswa berbasis Socioscientific Issues pada mata kuliah Mikrobiologi.

Chemistry data from the Environmental Impact Assessment of the Davis Sewage Outfall
No full textProgress Code: onGoing<b>Purpose</b><br/>This is the master metadata record (master DIF) for the chemistry data for the project. It is linked to many datasets ranging from sediment chemistry to wastewater chemistry.Untreated, macerated wastewater effluent has been discharged to the sea at Davis Station since 2005, when the old wastewater treatment infrastructure was removed. This environmental assessment was instigated to guide the choice of the most suitable wastewater treatment facility at Davis. The assessment will support decisions that enable Australia to meet the standards set for the discharge of wastewaters in Antarctica in national legislation (Waste Management Regulations of the Antarctic Treaty Environmental Protection Act - ATEP) and to meet international commitments (the Madrid Protocol) and to meet Australia's aspirations to be a leader in Antarctic environmental protection. <br/>The overall objective was to provide environmental information in support of an operational infrastructure project to upgrade wastewater treatment at Davis. This information is required to ensure that the upgrade satisfies national legislation (ATEP/Waste Management Regulations), international commitments (the Madrid Protocol) and maintain the AAD's status as an international leader in environmental management. The specific objectives were to:<br/>1. Wastewater properties: Determine the properties of discharged wastewater (contaminant levels, toxicity, microbiological hazards) as the basis for recommendations on the required level of treatment and provide further consideration of what might constitute adequate dilution and dispersal for discharge to the nearshore marine environment<br/>2. Dispersal and dilution characteristics of marine environment: Assess the dispersing characteristics of the immediate nearshore marine environment in the vicinity of Davis Station to determine whether conditions at the existing site of effluent discharge are adequate to meet the ATEP requirement of initial dilution and rapid dispersal.<br/>3. Environmental impacts: Describe the nature and extent of impacts to the marine environment associated with present wastewater discharge practices at Davis and determine whether wastewater discharge practices have adversely affected the local environment.<br/>4. Evaluate treatment options: Evaluate the different levels of treatment required to mitigate and/or prevent various environmental impacts and reduce environmental risks

Population counts, resights and demography of Adelie Penguins in Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica, 1991-2019
No full textProgress Code: completedStatement: No problems were encountered with the dataset, the data quality are good. Some standardisation of data is required as per details outlined in manuscript to account for seabird phenology or methodology bias.We estimate population size in terms of the number of occupied nests for the Adélie penguin metapopulation in western Mac. Robertson Land, East Antarctica in 2009/10 and 2019/20. We also assessed demographic data from a single breeding site in the central part of this area (Béchervaise Island: 67°35'S, 62°49'E) including reproductive success, resight data, and fledgling mass from 1991/92 to 2019/20. We collated environmental covariates of potential drivers in this area over the same time period from sources described below. These are presented in the file “Time series demography and environmental covariates.xls”.<br/><br/>Environmental covariates:<br/><br/>Sea-ice concentration: Summer sea-ice concentration (SIC) was obtained for the area bounded by longitudes 60 - 65°E, to the south by the Antarctic coastline and the north by latitude 66.75°S. This approximately 250 km stretch of coastline incorporates the location of all Adélie penguin breeding sites across the metapopulation. The area defines the most northerly limit of fast-ice during chick rearing and encompasses the longitudinal range of the birds’ summer foraging activities. The sea-ice contained within this ‘near-shore’ region is predominantly composed of fast-ice (ice that is attached to land but covers seawater). Summer SIC was calculated as an average over the three-week period 25th December to 15th January when adults are guarding chicks for each breeding season. <br/><br/>Winter SIC was determined in the following three areas of the penguins’ winter migratory route as defined previously. Each area was defined between specific longitudes and from 50°S south to the Antarctic coastline. The sea-ice contained within this area is composed of fast-ice near the coastline and pack-ice (all sea-ice that is not fast-ice) beyond the fast-ice edge. Two sectors defined the outward journey as they travelled westward towards their winter foraging grounds (50 - 65°E during March, and 30 - 50°E during April), a winter area (15 - 30°E during May-Jul) was considered as the sea ice became more extensive with both 15-100% SIC and 15-80% SIC which is considered more in line with suitable winter foraging ice conditions. The final area was associated with their eastwards journey towards the colony (30 - 50°E during Aug-Sep). For each area and time period, an average SIC was determined for each year in each of these areas. <br/><br/>SIC values reflect the total area (km2) covered in sea-ice between either 15-100% or 15-80% SIC in each year and time period using 25x25km pixels. Sea-ice data were obtained from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) (Cavalieri et al. 1996) using Raadtools (Sumner 2017). <br/><br/><br/>Broad-scale climatic indices and local weather conditions: We determined the weather conditions during periods reflecting the end of the austral summer when the penguins were leaving their colonies (Feb-Mar) and the inter-breeding winter period (Apr-Sep). The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) were included as broad indicators of climatic conditions, and local weather conditions included air and windchill temperatures. SOI was obtained from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (www.bom.gov.au) and SAM from the NOAA Climate Prediction Centre (http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/aao/aao_index.html). <br/><br/>Mawson Station local weather: Local weather data recorded at Mawson Station were obtained from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. We considered two covariates: windchill and air temperatures both reported in °C. Windchill temperatures were determined from the ambient air temperature, wind speed and the relative humidity: AT= Ta +0.33e-0.7ws-4.0, where Ta is the dry bulb temperature (°C), e is the water vapour pressure (hPa), and ws is the windspeed (ms-1) at 10 m elevation. Water vapour pressure was determined from: (see the actual equation in the download file - "Emmerson_AADC Metadata Records_GCB_2022.docx" - unable to be reproduced here), where rh is the relative humidity (%). This formula follows the Australian Bureau of Meteorology calculation (www.bom.gov.au/info/thermal_stress/). <br/><br/>Seabird population parameters:<br/><br/>Pre-fledging mass "adjusted.fledge.mass.5_Feb": We determined pre-fledging mass (g) of chicks on the 5th February by either measuring their mass on that date, or by standardising to that date from measurements made between the 3rd and 14th February. <br/><br/>Total chick productivity "tot.chick.prod.past.5.yrs": Cumulative five-year total chick productivity (total chicks) was calculated for each year using total counts across Béchervaise Island from the preceding five years. This represents the cumulative pool of pre-breeders on the basis that Adélie penguins typically recruit into the breeding population between the ages of one and five years. <br/><br/>Breeding success "bs.3.yr.ave": at Béchervaise Island was measured as the number of chicks crèched (end-January) in relation to the number of nests occupied at the start of incubation (late November and beginning of December). Units of measurement are chicks per occupied nest. Nest and chick counts were obtained annually from on-ground island-wide surveys. Because reproductive performance fluctuates dramatically across years, we calculated three-year rolling averages centred on the year of interest.<br/><br/>Resight data: Age of first return to the colony or recruitment into the breeding population “Age first.nesting.all.6.years” were based on resights of birds in their natal colony. Marked birds were resighted via colony-wide detection from a tag reader when they were on nests. Files for each year contain data from resighting with hand-held tag readers across Béchervaise Island including date of resight and the tag number with each file named as “2003_04 resights.xls” for the resights in 2003/04 split-season for example. For resight data outside the years available in this data repository, please contact Data Custodians.<br/><br/>Population growth rates: <br/>Circum-Antarctic population growth rates: To allow a circum-Antarctic comparison of this populations growth rate with other sites or regions, we performed a literature review of published data or growth rates for estimating a consistent metric of growth rate. Data from this search are included in this dataset along with estimates of population growth rate in this study in file “Circum-Antarctic estimates of population growth rates for Adelie penguins Figure 2.pdf”. <br/><br/>Occupied nest counts Mac. Robertson Land: Adult counts were adjusted for phenology-related variable attendance and potential methodology bias to a standard metric (the number of occupied nests at the beginning of the incubation period). The adjustment process is described in detail in Southwell et al. (2013) and propagates the uncertainties from accounting for these biases through to the final estimate of occupied nests. Data include 1000 bootstrap estimates of occupied nests from this procedure for the Mac. Robertson Land area to standardise raw counts to the metric of occupied nests labelled as “O.N.bootstrap.estimates.2009_10” for 2009/10 and 2019/20 which we summarised with the median and 95 percentile limits. Please see manuscript for further details on the standardisation process. Data presented in file “W Mac. Robertson Land Adelie penguin population estimates.xls”.<br/><br/>Any data use from this repository in any publication, report or presentation, should include the following acknowledgement in each data file based on the following “Data from Béchervaise Island or Mac. Robertson Land were derived from Australian Antarctic Science projects 2205, 2552, 4088, 4086 and 4518. All procedures were approved through Australian Antarctic Division animal ethics and ATEP approvals.”<br/><br/>Please refer to the Seabird Conservation Team Data Sharing Policy for use, acknowledgement and availability of data prior to downloading data

"What uae la a woman anyway*"'
To wblcb the moat obt-foue answer
la another question, "Why ahould a
■ oman be expected to have any oae?
la ahe not ber own excuse for existence?" Hut the professors do
not think ao. Mankind, Individually haa been Interested Individually
In ladlvidnal women since untold

eome startling reaulta. So ihe quea-j
tlon. What uae ia a woman? la no
longer a Joke. It haa become the
moat popalar preeent subject of serious research.
Answers are various. A law
years ago a bold pioneer or the n«w
cult flrat proposed Ihe theory that
woman Is a esse of arrested development. Radically, she represents
s former stage ot rfvllt-.at.on—tbe
same atage In wblch man waa when
be. too. wore feathers lu hla hear.
Individually, she remains a child, or
at most sn adolescent No woman
will ever acknowledge to years of
matarlty. simply because ahe realises that abe never develope tbe maturity to Juatlfy those years. What
happened to the author of this theory wa do not know. Hs haa never
been heard from since.
A more recent author bas described woman ss a survivor of the
c*ve*bumao atage. Because the
cave woman had to bloca the mouth
of her cave with atone* or Ore to
keep out heasts and men. the modern woman bolla her door and trembles In constant fear of burglars"
—by which abe means, not actual
bounebreskera. but merely the modern object ID rat ion of her hereditary
dread. Alao, the treachery of women to each other, and their loyalty
to even the least deserving of husband*, dates from tbe Um- when
women (ought and lied for husbands, and then were uniformly
beeten by tbem. Women and dog*
bave been taught, hy generation* of
beating, and the ruthless mtermina
tion of those that did not like It. to
make a virtue of ktsalng the hand
that smltea them. The author af
this theory has been silent (or at*
lenoed) for aome time, since 'lis appearance.
A contemporary theory was re-
ilected In a recent magaalne article
on *"The Adventlilou* Cheractnr of
Women." Tbe author eiplalned
that woman had reached her present state of ornamental uselessnes*
by the simple process of being ousted by mate competition from all
useful occupations Formerly man
was IBs banter and lighter, bat women conducted sll tbs productive
tadustiies. A young warrior, looking about for a wife, would prefer
s muscular old woman, well versed
ln basketry and farming. But
when men exhausted the game and
.ull fighting, they took np tbe women's work and outdid tbem at It.
Tbey first usurped tbe fundamental
occupations, and now tbey have surpassed the women even aa dreaa-
makers and cooks. The best baby
nurse* learned Iheir buslneea trom
men, and a man. Frocbel. taught the
world how to play wltb children.
Ousted from everything else, women
are now reduced to the fascinating
"-.-dilations of charming meo and
spiting each other.
Perhaps the most sunlit.* theory
of all was propounded by Profeeaor
Mutwaterberg ln hla article on tbe
mora) and Intellectual benefiu of
getting drunk- He explained the
fact that few women can drink even
a little wins wlthoat feellag tt by
aeaertlag that a woman's normal
state, without- drinking, is aboat
that which a man reaches after aeveral drinks, and therefore a woman's
first drink Is her fourth.
Finally comes ths theory of Profeesor Ross, explained In a lecture
to ibe Chicago Association of Collegiate Alumnae Sunday, tbat woman la a luxury. "Man wants woman to be helpless, cowardly- afraid
of mice." ssld the distinguished professor. "As we gel farther away
from the primitive conditions of civ-
Ulf.at(on. man cornea to have less

and Insists moro and more that woman ahall present herself to him In

who really prefer wives wbo don't
know too much. They waat an
oversexed woman—one who wlll

To whkh msy be added the newest theory, that women are divided

Palo Alto people are buying Red
Cross seals this holiday season tn i
'larger numbers than ever before.
! Sales nit over the I'nlted States ar*
j encouraging. Mrs. Rita W. Horine.
| who has charge of the sale of seals
i fn Palo Alto, could aot give the re-
Icelpts up to date, wben Interviewed
\ today, but stated that they would
I probably exceed any previous yssr.
Tbe only claim the Red Cross ls
-making each yesr ls that which tbs
| work makes for Itself, and the past
Is not a section of time that has
jreased to exist, but Is the base and
j foundation on whkh thla work rest*.
' Each year tbe people hare a demonstration of what the association
la accomplishing.
One slory is told or a young wo-
i man in one of our western cities suf-
| feting from consumption In a double
form, deserted by her husband, the
association found her living In one
room wltb two little beds, one for
herself and one for her boy. and supporting herself and thu child by her
needle.
The boy was taken and cared for
by the Antituberculosis Association,
| and the mother was sent lo a sanlto-
rium where she will have a chance
to get well.
It Is one of the characteristics of
tbl. disease that It seems to Invariably flnd Its way Into the home
where there can be leaat resistance.:
often making such progress that the
entire family be-romo Invalids, when
of course thc Income entirely ceases, i
Then comes debt for grocery bills!
snd rent, and the anxiety whlcb ln-j
evltably follow* In Ita train..
One such case came to the attention of a visiting nurse: the father!
was sent off to a hospital, proper
food provided for the others and
treatment prescribed Gradually they
became stronger and the association
SStdatsd them In lindlna employment
i-qual to iheir strength, thereby bm-!
senins the bills each week and what
ts still better, putting a silver Bnlngj
Into their clouds.
I'v.tv Hsd CnNM seal hough! help*
to better conditions like these. So!
add your bit today to the fund. ThU
Is the last week for a year that th->
association wlll ask for help; therefore everyone should consider 11 a
privilege to do something this last
week. For anotlirr year you will
not have a csll from thf-. organization, they will Juat go on quietly doing Inestimable good giving life,
hope and courage to the sick. Stick
a Red Cross seat on your New Tear's
cards: lei your last holiday remem-
braacsa bear this '.-K.i: of um-
thougbtfulnSN for ths afflicted
