In this action research study of my classroom of seventh grade mathematics, I investigated the use of non-traditional activities to enhance mathematical connections. The types of nontraditional activities used were hands-on activities, written explanations, and oral communication that required students to apply a new mathematical concept to either prior knowledge or a realworld application. I discovered that the use of non-traditional activities helped me reach a variety of learners in my classroom. These activities also increased my students’ abilities to apply their mathematical knowledge to different applications. Having students explain their reasoning during non-traditional activities improved their communications skills, both orally and in writing. As a result of this research, I plan to incorporate more non-traditional activities into my curriculum. In doing so, I hope to continue to increase my students’ abilities to solve problems. I also plan to incorporate the use of written explanations of my students’ mathematical reasoning in order to continue to improve their communication of mathematics.

The Human Secreted Group IID Phospholipase A(2) (hsPLA2GIID) may be involved in the human acute immune response. Here we have demonstrated that the hsPLA2GIID presents bactericidal and Ca2+-independent liposome membrane-damaging activities and we have compared these effects with the catalytic activity of active-site mutants of the protein. All mutants showed reduced hydrolytic activity against DOPC:DOPG liposome membranes, however bactericidal effects against Escherichia coli and Micrococcus luteus were less affected, with the D49K mutant retaining 30% killing of the Gram-negative bacteria at a concentration of 10 mu g/mL despite the absence of catalytic activity. The H48Q mutant maintained Ca2+-independent membrane-damaging activity whereas the G30S and D49K mutants were approximately 50% of the wild-type protein, demonstrating that phospholipid bilayer permeabilization by the hsPLA2GIID is independent of catalytic activity. We suggest that this Ca2+-independent damaging activity may play a role in the bactericidal function of the protein. (C) 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Los territorios rurales muestran importantes transformaciones en las últimas décadas, en el marco del modelo de desarrollo implementado en el país. Los espacios rurales próximos a las ciudades se van integrando al ámbito urbano a través de nuevos hábitos de vida y consumo. Los territorios son cada vez más interdependientes pero también cada vez más diversificados, lo que da lugar a distintas formas de apropiación, situación que muchas veces genera conflictos debido a la coexistencia de diversas lógicas productivas y sociales. En este contexto, el trabajo analiza los cambios territoriales que se manifiestanen las áreas rurales y los conflictos que surgen a raíz de las distintas formas de utilizar el territorio. Centramos nuestra atención en el partido de Monte, provincia de Buenos Aires, y en las implicancias territoriales generadasentre la avicultura y la expansión de actividades no agroproductivas. El análisis realizado permite visualizar la situación de los actores intervinientes, los intereses en juego y sus consecuencias en el uso y apropiación del territorio.

The overall purpose of this project was to collect available information on the characteristics of essential fish habitats in protected and non-protected marine areas around the islands of Puerto Rico. Specifically, this project compiled historical information on benthic habitats and the status of marine resources into a Geographic Information System (GIS) by digitizing paper copies of existing marine geologic maps that were developed for the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (CFMC) for areas around the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. In addition, information on benthic habitat types, Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) requirements, and fishing and non-fishing impacts to marine resources were compiled for two priority areas: La Parguera and Vieques. The information obtained will help to characterize and select habitats for future monitoring of impacts of fishing and non-fishing activities and to develop management recommendations for conservation of important marine habitats. The project focused specifically on areas identified as priorities for conservation by the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER) and the Local Action Strategy Overfishing Group.

Contexte : L’activité physique est une composante centrale du développement physique, psychologique et social de l'enfant, particulièrement au sein d'une société où l'impact de la sédentarité et de l'obésité devient de plus en plus important. Cependant, les trajectoires d’activité physique hors école et leurs déterminants sont peu étudiés et les connaissances sur ce sujet sont limitées. Il est également notoire que les types d’activité physique sont rarement pris en considération. Objectif : Ce mémoire a pour but (a) de déterminer les trajectoires de pratique d’activité physique au cours du développement des enfants (b) de valider l’association entre l’activité physique supervisée et l’activité non supervisée et (c) d’identifier les déterminants au niveau du quartier, de la famille et des caractéristiques individuelles associés aux trajectoires de pratique d’activité physique supervisée et non supervisée. Participants : 1 814 enfants (51% garçons) nés en 1998 ayant participé à l’Étude Longitudinale du Développement des Enfants du Québec (ELDEQ). Les données récoltées proviennent uniquement de leur mère. Mesures : La fréquence de l’activité physique supervisée et non supervisée a été mesurée à quatre reprises alors que les enfants étaient âgés entre 5 et 8 ans. Les déterminants ainsi que les variables contrôles ont été mesurés alors que les enfants avaient 4 ou 5 ans. Résultats : Trois trajectoires d’activité physique supervisée et non supervisée ont été identifiées. Les résultats suggèrent que les trajectoires d’activité physique supervisée, représentant respectivement 10%, 55.3% et 34.7% de la population, sont relativement stables même si elles subissent une légère augmentation avec le temps. Des trois trajectoires d’activité physique non supervisée représentant respectivement 14.1%, 28.1% et 57.8% de la population, une augmente considérablement avec le temps alors iv que les deux autres sont stables. Ces deux séries de trajectoires ne sont pas associées significativement entre elles. L’éducation de la mère, l’entraide dans le quartier de résidence ainsi que la prosocialité des enfants déterminent les deux types d’activité physique. La suffisance de revenu et la pratique sportive de la mère sont associées seulement aux trajectoires d’activité physique supervisée. La famille intacte discrimine l’appartenance aux trajectoires d’activité physique non supervisée. Conclusion : Premièrement, la pratique de l’activité physique est relativement stable entre 5 et 8 ans. Deuxièmement, l’activité physique supervisée ainsi que l’activité physique non supervisée sont deux pratiques qui se développent différemment et qui possèdent leurs propres déterminants. Troisièmement, une approche écologique permet de mieux saisir la complexité de ces deux processus.

Infant caregivers in centre-based child care were videotaped as they interacted with the children during routine and non-routine activities. During a subsequent interview, the video provided a stimulus for discussion and reflection on practices. Caregivers were also asked to write about their beliefs on good practice in caring for infants. Transcripts of the interviews and the written statements were then analysed for evidence of nave and informed beliefs about caregiving. Most caregivers held nave beliefs and only one caregiver had an informed understanding of professional practice with infants. The usefulness of the analytical framework used in this research is discussed as a means for understanding caregiving practices. It has important implications for approaches to initial professional education of early childhood teachers and for professional development programmes.

Work time spread across the entire week, rather than the conventional five day working week, has meant that workers are now less able to utilise longer stretches of recreation time especially in gaining access to a full two-day break over a weekend. This paper explores the issues contributing to workers' acquisition of longer recreation time. It seeks to determine the effects of this acquisition on the quality of working and non-working time for the employee through a study of work-life balance in the construction industry. It finds that weekends are more important to achieving work-life balance than shorter days over a six-day week when working long hours. Further, 'personal time' is a key element in achieving satisfactory work-life balance for employees, and this type of 'time' is often forgone in trying to integrate the necessary and desired non-work activities in the shorter time available to workers.

Aim This study aimed to demonstrate how supervisors and students use their time during the three domains of nutrition and dietetic clinical placement and to what extent patient care and non-patient activities change during placement compared to pre- and post- placement. Methods A cohort survey design was used with students from two Queensland universities, and their supervisors in 2010. Participants recorded their time use in either a paper-based or an electronic survey. Supervisors’ and students’ time-use was calculated as independent daily means according to time use categories reported over the length of the placement. Mean daily number of occasions of service, length of occasions of service, project and other time use in minutes was reported as productivity output indicators and the data imputed. A linear mixed modelling approach was used to describe the relationship between the stage of placement and time use in minutes. Results Combined students’ (n= 21) and supervisors’ (n=29) time use as occasions of service or length of occasions of service in patient care activities were significantly different pre, during and post placement. On project-based placements in food service management and community public health nutrition, supervisors’ project activity time significantly decreased during placements with students undertaking more time in project activities. Conclusions This study showed students do not reduce occasions of service in patient care and they enhance project activities in food service and community public health nutrition while on placement. A larger study is required to confirm these results.

This article argues that a semantic shift in the crowd in Vietnam over the last decade has allowed public space to become a site through which transgressive ideologies and desires may have an outlet. At a time of accelerating social change, the state has effectively delimited public criticism yet a fragile but assertive form of Vietnamese democratic practice has arisen in public space, at the margins of official society, in sites previously equated with state control. Official state functions attract only small audiences, and rather than celebrating the dominance of the party, reveal the disengagement of the populace in the party's activities. Where crowds were always a component of state (stage)-managed events, now public spaces are attracting large numbers of people for supposedly non-political activities which may become transgressive acts condemned by the regime. In support of the notion that crowding is an opening up of the possibility of more subversive political actions, the paper presents an analysis of recent crowd formations and the state's reaction to them. The analysis reveals the modalities through which popular culture has provided the public with the means to transcend the constraints of official, authorized, and legitimate codes of behaviour in public space. Changes in the use of public space, it is argued, map the sets of relations between the public and the state, making these transforming relationships visible, although fraught with contradictions and anomalies.
