This study reports on the impact of international visiting faculty’s teaching experiences in the United States on their personal, professional, and intercultural development. It is based on the principles of qualitative research and can be described as a case study. Data collection involved a questionnaire, a written narrative, and a semi-structured interview with each of a number of teachers. Participants included a group of 22 visiting faculty. Three main categories, each of which can be subdivided into benefits and challenges, emerged from the analysis: intercultural matters, professional matters, and personal matters. A wide range of benefits was identified, suggesting that the participants adapted to new life styles, became more mature, obtained a deeper understanding of themselves, reaffirmed their own educational values and philosophies, raised cultural awareness, became more flexible, and developed attitudes that involved tolerance and respect. Conversely, visiting faculty reported that they faced challenges related to language barriers, interaction with native speakers, classroom management, lack of support from school administrators, and separation from family.

ABSTRACT Bacteriophages are a common and constant threat to proper milk fermentation. It has become evident that lysogeny is widespread in lactic acid bacteria, and in this work the temperate lactococcal bacteriophage φLC3 was used as a model to study prophage stability in lactococci. The stability was analyzed in six φLC3 lysogenic Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris host strains when they were growing at 15 and 30°C. In order to perform these analyses, a real-time PCR assay was developed. The stability of the φLC3 prophage was found to vary with the growth phase of its host L. lactis IMN-C1814, in which the induction rate increased during the exponential growth phase and reached a maximum level when the strain was entering the stationary phase. The maximum spontaneous induction frequency of the φLC3 prophage varied between 0.32 and 9.1% (28-fold) in the six lysogenic strains. No correlation was observed between growth rates of the host cells and the spontaneous prophage induction frequencies. Furthermore, the level of extrachromosomal phage DNA after induction of the prophage varied between the strains (1.9 to 390%), and the estimated burst sizes varied up to eightfold. These results show that the host cells have a significant impact on the lytic and lysogenic life styles of temperate bacteriophages. The present study shows the power of the real-time PCR technique in the analysis of temperate phage biology and will be useful in work to reveal the impact of temperate phages and lysogenic bacteria in various ecological fields.

The Impact

Indian economy is growing at rapid pace but more than one fourth of rural population found to be below poverty line due to fluctuations in employment, shrinking employment opportunities, and low wage rates. Government of India (GoI) has been introducing a number of wage employment programmes. The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is among one of them. The Indian Parliament has passed MGNREGA act in 2005, which came into force in February 2006. MGNREGA evidently indicate increase in employment opportunities, and market wage rates and reduction in distress migrationin many parts of the country. This paper is an attempt to study the impact of MGNREGA on the life style of rural poor. The study is confined to 6 panchayats Shimbal khola, Tikker, Tatehal, Biara, Ladoh and Rajot of Panchrukhi block, District Kangra, H.P. The study is based on both primary and secondary data. The main findings of the study are most of the people think that MGNREGA is helpful in the development of the village, most of the people are not aware about the process and practices under MGNREGA Scheme, most of the people are not aware of how much money is coming from the block level and how much is used in the public works, most of the people think that the earning in terms of wages through MGNREGA is helping in the financial upliftment of the life styles of the people. As far as corruption is concerned in MNREGA people are almost of the same opinion. People are of the mixed opinion that corruption exists in MGNREGA as well as there is no point of corruption in MGNREGA.

The present day life styles are changing the food habits of the human beings by force and these food styles are leading towards problems related to health care in particular. Because of the dynamic changes, the impact of the health is being deteriorated and many diseases are therefore getting triggered to the mankind. Among the various diseases, gastroenterology related diseases are being growing exponentially because of the in healthy food styles. This indirectly leading towards diseases in particular to liver and pancreas. Many researchers and eminent practitioners in the field of domain are experimenting to compact the disease from further complications. The complications include liver cancer, enlargement of liver, shrinkage of liver, pancreas problems which eventually leads to diabetic diseases. The present article aims at bringing out the different methodologies and techniques that are developed by the eminent researchers to highlight the state of work in the present domain.

Environmental Behaviours

Abstract A survey of the environmental world-views of undergraduate students found that their views of the environment could be reduced, as had been found by Price et al. (J Environ Psychol, 37, 8–20 2014) into the ‘as elastic’ and the ‘environment as ductile’. The ‘environment as elastic’ summarizes a range of views that focus on the unpredictable nature of the environment and its ability to recover from the impact of human activities. Unlike Price et al. (J Environ Psychol, 37, 8–20 2014), however, the basis of the ‘environment as elastic’ view is solidly based on a fatalistic/non-fatalistic world-view of this age group. The survey suggests that the likelihood of individuals demonstrating environmentally aware behaviour was strongly correlated with their environmental world-view and how their general ideological word views is conditioned by their political alignment. There was, however, a limited range of behaviours that even environmentally aware undergraduates were prepared to take now and into the future and these were correlated with their concern to adopt what might be considered to be conveniently successful life styles.

This article describes a study of the influence of job factors (e.g. job control, pay, etc.) on job attitudes (satisfaction, alienation, stress) as well as the joint influence of job factors and job attitudes on general psychological and physical well-being. Satisfaction/alienation and felt stress were found to be two different modes of response to work. Prestige, control, variety, and opportunity for promotion were powerful predictors of satisfaction/alienation. Number of deadlines and job overlap with family life were important predictors of stress. The job factors and job attitudes showed substantively important relationships to general well-being. The testing of various alternate hypotheses supported the inference of a causal work-health link. Implications of the findings are that work must be viewed in a wider context than simply as a form of economic activity if the well-being of the population is to be improved and that a focus on individual “life-styles” as causes of lowered well-being leads to neglect of the underlying social structural bases of dis-ease.

The Impact

What makes our own aging so interesting and predictions about normative aging profiles so difficult is that there are many different capacities that may be altered. The composite pattern of strengths and needs and of the degree of need has yet to be described. This makes predictions about what people can or could do difficult. Each individual represents a mosaic of capacity and loss resulting from the impact of capacities such as vision, hearing, response time, posture, gait, energy level, and even recall and the demands placed upon them by their individual circumstances, life-styles, and environments. A person with major memory loss and tremendous energy may be different from one who experiences slight losses in vision, hearing, mobility, agility, and a crystal clear memory. Their behavioral changes may be more evident in strange environments than in familiar ones. This mosaic of capabilities and needs makes traditional interventions that are focused on a singular disability or major diagnostic conditions difficult. Traditional rehabilitation methods need to be adapted to grapple with the diversity of older people functioning in a community. Adaptations in our understanding of people, activities, and environments will put us in a better position to facilitate the normal interactions of older people in senior centers and, importantly, in public intergenerational settings. Older people have not been well served by services, programs, and legislation that have focused on single disabilities or devices.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The Impact

Few attempts have been made to construct and apply measures of modernization and of consequent stress which will differentiate members of tribal populations under the impact of developmental change. This study utilizes occupational types as indices of personal modernization and a community scale developed by Patrick (Patrick and Tyroler 1972) as an index of village modernization, in combination with 1969-70 data on accidental injuries as an index of stress sustained by the Papago Indians. These measures are related in an effort to determine whether stress associated with rapid culture change falls more heavily upon (1) modern individuals in modern villages; (2) traditional individuals in modern villages; (3) modern individuals in traditional villages; (4) traditional individuals in traditional villages. By combining these possibilities into a 2 x 2 matrix, and comparing the frequencies of accidental injury in each cell, it was expected that either of the following two inferences would be supported: (1) if rates were high for both modern and traditional individuals in either modern or traditional villages, then stress could be designated an attribute of the community rather than of individual life style; (2) if rates were high for either modern or traditional individuals in both types of community, then stress could be designated an attribute of individual life style rather than the community modernization level. The results confirmed both hypotheses with different intensity. Both traditional and modern individuals in progressive communities had significantly greater accident rates than in conservative communities. Rates for traditional and modern individuals in conservative communities were low and not significantly different. However, when modern and traditional individuals living in progressive communities were compared, rates were twice as high among the former. There is an interaction effect between modern individual and progressive community which greatly elevates the level of stress measured by frequency of accidental injury.
