Five Scholarly Open Access Publishers
Full text linkThis review critically examines five international scholarly publishers that publish academic journals using the gold (author pays) Open Access model. The author-pays model is changing scholarly publishing because authors, rather than libraries or other subscribers, become the publishers' customers, an arrangement that creates a built in conflict of interest. The more articles a publisher accepts, the more revenue it earns. New gold Open Access publishers are appearing almost weekly, and many are engaged in unethical practices. The review covers four predatory publishers, Academy Publish, BioInfo, ScienceDomain International, and Scientific Research Publishing, and one legitimate publisher, AOSIS Open Journals

Rodeo Event, Cheyenne, Wyo., A
No full textA RODEO EVENT. In Cheyenne a Wild-West show is given each year. It is called Frontier Days. The most interesting part of the show is the rodeo. The riding of the backing bronchos is only one event at the rodeo. Prizes are given to the best riders. Other events are the roping and the branding of calves and steers. Rodeos are held only in a few places. The one at Cheyenne, which lasts almost a week, is the best known, and it usually attracts a large crowd. The rodeo reminds us of the "dude ranch." This is a ranch where paying guests, usually from the eastern cities, are taken. Its name comes from the cowboys' custom of calling men from the east or from the cities dudes. The guests are provided with guides and horses so that they may take long rides over the prairies or up into the mountains. Some hunting and fishing is done. Various entertainments in the way of games and shooting matches are provided. Many city people enjoy a week or two on a dude ranch as a part of their vacation. Today the owners of some ranches make more money from their paying guests than they do from their cattle
Cheyenne Odyssey: Representing Removal in an Educational Video Game
Full text linkThis articles reflects on the process of creating digital media in collaboration with Native communities, using the example of Cheyenne Odyssey, a game from Mission US, to argue that such media can illuminate the perspectives of Indigenous peoples for a wide audience while also creating digital repositories for both visual and narrative forms of knowledge. This game takes on the difficult challenge of portraying very sensitive moments of US history to middle school-age children. The game walks the player through the Battle of Little Big Horn, the forced removal of the Northern Cheyenne people, their harrowing journey home again, and even the massacre of Dull Knife’s band at Fort Robinson. The creators of the game brought Cheyenne perspectives to the process by consulting Northern Cheyenne elders, historians, and even school children, as well as archival materials, and scholars of Cheyenne history, including the author. This multifaceted collaboration resulted in a game that presented Cheyenne history in a way that reflected Cheyenne values while providing non-Cheyenne people with an accessible narrative that, nevertheless, disrupts the familiar history of westward expansion in the United States. At the same time, the game makes new a history familiar to every Cheyenne by presenting it in a fresh medium that captivates young people. The public nature of this online game empowers Cheyenne people to take pride in their own historical narratives.This article is published as Hill, C.G., Cheyenne Odyssey: Representing Removal in an Educational Video Game.

An investigation of language learning and processing in children with developmental language disorder and pediatric cerebellar tumor survivors
Full text linkBoth developmental disorders and acquired brain injury during language development may lead to language problems in children. These issues can cause problems with using and learning language, and can negatively influence school grades and later job opportunities. Unfortunately, little is known about the types of language problems that can occur, their causes, and how these are linked to brain development. In my PhD research I tried to fill some of the gaps in the current literature by 1) investigating verb learning and brain structure in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) and; 2) describing the types of language problems in children with a brain tumor (in the cerebellum). Results showed that children with DLD may still have problems with learning novel verbs in elementary school, stressing the need for language follow-up in clinical practice. I also found differences in the brains of children with DLD as compared to their peers. These differences could be related to the language problems in DLD. Additionally, I demonstrated that brain tumor survivors may have short- and long-term language problems, but these currently receive little attention in clinical practice. My PhD research highlights the importance of a comprehensive follow-up of language development in both developmental and acquired language disorders to improve long-term language quality of life of these children. Further research is necessary, however, to understand the causes of the observed language problems
Cheyenne Dog Soldier Depredations on Settlers in the Northern Kansas Frontier From 1864 to 1869
Full text linkMorgan, M.J.During the 1860s, Indian tribes raided frontier settlements across the plains, most notably the Cheyenne in North Central Kansas. Numerous counties in Kansas felt the scarring effect of the raids; however, the counties of Jewell, Mitchell, Washington, Republic, Cloud, and Clay were the most affected. Almost all sources on the matter report the Indians as "northern Cheyenne." However, the information provided by first-hand accounts points to the Dog Soldiers as being behind the raids. In this study, the author examines the raids that took place in north central Kansas between 1864 – 1869, while demonstrating how and why the Dog Soldiers committed the depredations
Errors in the Spontaneous Language of Survivors of Pediatric Cerebellar Tumors
Full text linkPediatric cerebellar tumor survivors may present with spontaneous language impairments following treatment, but the nature of these impairments is still largely unclear. A recent study by Svaldi et al. (Cerebellum. 23:523-44, 2023) found a broad spectrum of spontaneous language impairments irrespective of postoperative cerebellar mutism syndrome (pCMS) diagnosis in long-term pediatric cerebellar tumor survivors. Several patients presented with reduced grammatical or lexical accuracy, but a detailed error analysis was lacking. The present study builds on this study by 1) investigating the error types in spontaneous language across three language processing levels in the same participant group and 2) by evaluating the possible association between pCMS and the processing nature of the language impairments. Spontaneous language was evaluated in 12 long-term survivors of pediatric cerebellar tumors (M(SD) = 4;8(3;8) years), of whom five were diagnosed with pCMS. The proportion of occurrence of each error type was compared between each patient and five matched controls using individual case statistics, reflecting (lexico-)phonological (i.e., phonemic paraphasias), lexical-semantic (e.g., empty speech) and morphosyntactic processing (e.g., verb inflection errors). Each patient showed a significantly higher proportion of at least one of the included error types across all language processing levels. A higher proportion of general-all-purpose verbs and inaccurate verb inflection were the most common errors and respectively reflected lexical-semantic and morphosyntactic processing. Additional language impairments were identified using the error analysis that were not identified with standard language measures and psycholinguistic analysis, suggesting the added diagnostic value of error analyses.</p
