Role of technology in promoting formative assessment practices in science and mathematics classes

This paper will report on a professional development (PD) course designed and implemented by researchers in Maynooth University Ireland as part of the FaSMEd project (Formative assessment in Science and Mathematics Education1). This project researched the use of technology in formative assessment (FA) classroom practices. In this paper, we describe the design of the professional development process, present the research methods and results, and in discussing the results, pose a hypothesis connecting changes in teachers’ knowledge to the changes in their FA practices. We conclude the paper by situating the importance of this work more broadly

Gap and low resistance junctions between cells in culture

Established lines of both fibroblastoid and epithelioid cells have been investigated by electrophysiological and freeze-fracture methods. Between the ionically coupled (by "low-resistance junctions") fibroblastoid cells numerous gap junctions were found. Between the non-coupled epithelioid cells gap junctions could not be detected

Literature and Environment: Imaginative Interventions in the Climate Crisis

In the fall semester of 2019, the members of ENGL374 engaged in critical conversations about the climate crisis, its impacts on various communities, and the systems that shape how people are affected by the crisis. To share this with the greater community and invite others to participate in these necessary conversations, ENGL374 sponsored an event comprised of a conversation hour and an open mic, both encouraging community growth, bonding, and shared conversations the climate crisis. The event was dedicated to creating a space where people could share works that connected to their personal feelings about the state of the natural world. This took the form of prose, stories, and personal narratives, all reiterating the need for climate mitigation and systemic action. The event explored different dialogues, feelings, and reactions surrounding the issue of the climate crisis, and sought to unite the participating members over a common denominator: advocating and fighting for climate justice. The event took place on the eve of the Youth Climate Strike on December 5, 2019, and was a part of a series of creative climate events hosted by the University of Puget Sound. This archive is meant to document and commemorate the works of climate fiction created by the Fall 2019 ENGL374 class, as well as the works shared during the open mic. This collection of climate fiction are not only imaginative interventions of the climate crisis, but are diverse, thoughtful, and straight from the heart. If green studies and ecocriticism are to be about affecting and inspiring change, then the hope is that this collection of creative climate writing can be sparks of change. We hope to continue the conversation on the climate crisis, not just through our climate fiction but in our everyday choices. It is important that we understand what is happening in our world and who is getting affected. For those not sure how to get involved, Tacoma is a great place to start.

Multiple Gastrointestinal Vascular Variations in a Male Cadaver: A Case Report and Literature Review of Embryonic, Genetic, and Clinicosurgical Implications of Pathogenicity

BACKGROUND: To be acquainted with gastrointestinal vasculature variations is of utmost importance for establishing proper surgical management, improving safety, and decreasing the frequency of iatrogenic errors or complications arising in operational and post-operational settings. CASE REPORT: The subject of the present publication involves a unique case of an 80-year-old Caucasian male who presented with various vascular variations during routine cadaveric dissection. Key variations presented in this report include unique findings such as an abnormal trifurcation of the celiac trunk, a bifurcation of the superior mesenteric artery, and its associated branches; an unusual portocaval system communication; and various renal variations. These variations are examined in an anatomical and clinical context. We further discuss the possible embryologic and genetic mechanisms which may lead to such vascular abnormalities. CONCLUSION: Furthermore, with this report, we aim to demonstrate the strong need for adequate knowledge of vascular variations as well as the important role of pre-operative imaging in the identification of vascular variations and the elimination of iatrogenic errors during surgical procedures

Translating it into real life: a qualitative study of the cognitions, barriers and supports for key obesogenic behaviors of parents of preschoolers

BACKGROUND: Little is known about preschool parents' cognitions, barriers, supports and modeling of key obesogenic behaviors, including breakfast, fruit and vegetable consumption, sugary beverage intake, feeding practices, portion sizes, active playtime, reduced screen-time, sleep and selection of child-care centers with characteristics that promote healthy behaviors. METHODS: Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine these factors via survey and focus groups among 139 parents of 2- to 5-year-old children. Standard content analysis procedures were used to identify trends and themes in the focus group data, and Analysis of Variance was used to test for differences between groups in the survey data. RESULTS: Results showed 80% of parents ate breakfast daily, consumed sugary beverages 2.7 ± 2.5SD days per week, and had at least two different vegetables and fruits an average of 5.2 ± 1.8SD and 4.6 ± 2.0SD days per week. Older parents and those with greater education drank significantly fewer sugary drinks. Parents played actively a mean 4.2 ± 2.2 hours/week with their preschoolers, who watched television a mean 2.4 ± 1.7 hours/day. Many parents reported having a bedtime routine for their preschooler and choosing childcare centers that replaced screen-time with active play and nutrition education. Common barriers to choosing healthful behaviors included lack of time; neighborhood safety; limited knowledge of portion size, cooking methods, and ways to prepare healthy foods or play active indoor games; the perceived cost of healthy options, and family members who were picky eaters. Supports for performing healthful behaviors included planning ahead, introducing new foods and behaviors often and in tandem with existing preferred foods and behaviors, and learning strategies from other parents. CONCLUSIONS: Future education programs with preschool parents should emphasize supports and encourage parents to share helpful strategies with each other.This item is part of the UA Faculty Publications collection.

Quaternary Geologic Map of the Salome 30 x 60-Minute Quadrangle, West-Central Arizona

The area within the Salome 30 x 60 minute quadrangle is part of the Sonoran Desert within Southern Basin and Range physiographic province. Landforms and geomorphic relationships in this area are products of several independent controlling variables, and such, may serve as analogies for similar mountain/basin settings in adjacent areas of the southwestern U.S. One map sheet, 1:100,000 map scale.Documents in the AZGS Document Repository collection are made available by the Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) and the University Libraries at the University of Arizona.
