ABSTRACTThis essay examines the pedagogical practice of referencing my experiences as a transnational Korean American woman in the classroom and considers how it opens up space for domestic and international students of East, Southeast, and South Asian backgrounds to reflect on their different identities, histories, and cultures. In particular, it focuses on how this practice enables Asian students to share their experiences of and insights about racial difference, racism, and whiteness in Australia and other parts of the world. Building on the concept of Asian “inter-referencing” from Chua Beng Huat (2015), I coin the term “embodied inter-referencing” to describe the strategic ways I use autobiographical narrative to create an inclusive, interactive, and mutually respectful learning space. I centre here on how some Asian students respond to this strategy by telling their own stories and in the process, create transnational, diasporic, and inter-Asian affective communities inside and outside the classroom. 相似文献
AbstractMaternal dietary habits influence maternal and foetal health, representing a pathway for intervention to maximise pregnancy outcomes. Advice on energy intake is provided on a trimester basis, with no additional calories required in the first trimester and an additional 340?kcal?d?1 and 452?kcal?d?1 needed for the second and third trimesters. Energy intake depends on pre-gravid body mass index (BMI); underweight women are recommended an increase of 150, 200 and 300?kcal?d?1 during the first, second and third trimester, normal weight women an increase of 0, 350 and 500?kcal?d?1 and obese women an increase of 0, 450 and 350?kcal?day?1. The recommendations for carbohydrate and protein intake are 175?g?d?1 and 0.88–1.1?g?kgBM?d?1, with no change to fat intake. The number of pre-gravid obese women is rising; therefore, we need to regulate weight in women of childbearing age and limit gestational weight gain to within the recommended ranges [overweight women 6.8–11.3?kg and obese women 5.0–9.1?kg]. This can be achieved using nutritional interventions, as dietary changes have been shown to help with gestational weight management. As pregnancy has been identified as a risk factor for the development of obesity, normal weight women should gain 11.5–16.0?kg during pregnancy. While some research has shown that dietary interventions help to regulate gestational weight gain and promote postpartum weight loss to some extent, future research is needed to provide safe and effective guidelines to maximise these effects, while benefitting maternal and foetal health. 相似文献
The purpose of this viewpoint is to consider the impact of the current Covid-19 crisis on the educational prospects of young children attending early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings. Studies show that health pandemics and environmental, political, and socio-economic crises jeopardize children’s development and education. It is likely that for the immediate future, young children will continue to experience emotional and psychological stress. A curriculum that does not take into consideration a pandemic of the scale we are witnessing today creates unnecessary pressure and anxiety not just on young children but also on the adults who care for and teach them. This article outlines actions to ensure quality education for all as suggested by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The response of ECEC curricula to the pandemic may potentially act as a catalyst for educational change.
Oral Cancer is one of the five leading sites of cancer in Indian population. The circulating immune complexes were investigated
in 100 serum samples of 60 oral cancer patients having different grades of the disease and 40 patients with precancerous lesions
obtained from Nair Hospital Dental collage, Mumbai. The results obtained were compared with those of group of 40 healthy blood
donors. Elevated levels of Circulating Immune Complexes were observed in oral cancer patients and patients with oral precancerous
lesions. 92% positive samples were observed in well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma whereas 100% positive samples were
observed in both moderately and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Oral leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis
showed 15% and 90% positivity respectively. Increased level of Circulating Immune complexes in high grade tumor suggest that
Circulating Immune complexes is likely to contribute in evaluating the degree of malignancy, but follow up study is needed
to draw any conclusion regarding it's prognostic role 相似文献
Structured document retrieval makes use of document components as the basis of the retrieval process, rather than complete documents. The inherent relationships between these components make it vital to support users’ natural browsing behaviour in order to offer effective and efficient access to structured documents. This paper examines the concept of best entry points, which are document components from which the user can browse to obtain optimal access to relevant document components. It investigates at the types of best entry points in structured document retrieval, and their usage and effectiveness in real information search tasks. 相似文献
An important element of learning to read and write at school is the ability to define word boundaries. Defining word boundaries
in text writing is not a straightforward task even for children who have mastered graphophonemic correspondences. In children’s
writing, unconventional word segmentation has been observed across a range of languages and contexts with more occurrences
of hyposegmentation (failure to separate two or more written words with a space) than hypersegmentation (written words are
split into more than one segment). However, it is still unclear how frequent these errors are and the relationships of these
written error patterns to the child’s development in oral language, spelling and reading remains relatively unexplored. To
address these issues, unconventional written lexical segmentations in Brazilian Portuguese children’s text production during
their first years at primary school (Year 1 to Year 3) were examined in relation to different cognitive and linguistic measures
and patterns of spelling errors. Results reveal that in Portuguese the establishment of word boundaries in written text is
not explained by visuospatial skills or limitations in processing resources (working memory). In contrast higher occurrences
of hyposegmentation patterns were associated with lower levels of reading, vocabulary, verbal ability and morphological awareness
whereas hypersegmentations were rarer and related to lower levels of reading and morphological awareness and typically only
occurred in the initial stages of learning to write (Year 1). Occurrences of hyposegmentations as well as hypersegmentations
were also related to spelling errors which reflected children’s poor phonological skills. 相似文献
