The Executive Program Group for Microscopy and Microanalysis 2004 set out with the challenge of drafting a compelling scientific program for the annual meetings of the Microscopy Society of America (MSA) and the Microbeam Analysis Society (MAS) that would be equal to the excitement of organizational change being discussed by the societies. We feel that we have met the challenge, providing a diverse and balanced program that looks forward to new opportunities and presents the current state-of-the-art for microscopy and microanalysis. For the third consecutive year, the program is strengthened by the co-sponsorship of the International Metallographic Society (IMS), which is fast becoming an annual partner in the M&M meetings. M&M is the largest annual meeting of its kind in the world, and features an awesome commercial exhibit of microscopy and microanalysis equipment and accessories, with the latest commercial innovations featured and available for hands-on demonstration. We envision Savannah as a venue that will be remembered for historic steps forward in science and technology. The heart of the program comprises symposia in areas of biological sciences applications, physical sciences applications, and advances in instrumentation and technique, which feature both invited and contributed papers, and both platform and poster presentations. Contributed sessions are featured in a comprehensive topical listing.

The 9th International Conference on Heteroatom Chemistry (ICHAC-9) was held in the Auditorio Príncipe Felipe of Oviedo, Spain, from 30 June to 4 July 2009. The conference was chaired by Prof. José Barluenga (University of Oviedo, Spain) and attracted about 210 participants, mainly organic and inorganic chemists, from 30 countries all around the world. The scientific program consisted of 9 plenary lectures, 21 invited lectures, 48 short communications, and 68 posters.This conference explored the state of the art of heteroatom chemistry and focused on the following major themes:- heteroatom ligands in catalysis- heteroatoms in organic (non-metal) catalysis- heteroatoms in medicine- heteroatom polymers and materials- heteroatom bonding and synthesisBesides the collection of 16 papers (based on plenary and invited lectures with the choice of oral contributions) included in this issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry, the ICHAC-9 Book of Abstracts remains available online and can be free downloaded from <http://www.uniovi.es/ichac9/> in pdf format.ICHAC will return to its origins for its 10th meeeting, and, therefore, ICHAC-10 will be held in Kyoto (Japan) in 2011 and will be hosted by Prof. Norihiro Tokitoh of Kyoto University. It is confidently expected that the conference will continue to fulfill its important scientific role in highlighting ongoing advances in heteroatom chemistry.The organizers are grateful to all who contributed to a successful scientific program, especially to the speakers and to our public and private sponsors: Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (Spain), Consejería de Educación y Ciencia del Principado de Asturias (by Plan de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación-PCTI Asturias), Ayuntamiento de Oviedo, Universidad de Oviedo, Fundación Universidad de Oviedo, Lilly, Bruker and Scharlab and the Organic Division of the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (Grupo Especializado en Química Orgánica de la RSEQ).

Este documento muestra el Estado de arte de los determinantes del rendimiento académico en la educación media, teniendo en cuenta las principales investigaciones realizadas, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional, acerca de los factores que influyen en el logro escolar de los estudiantes. Con este trabajo, se busca establecer las principales variables, tanto en Colombia como en algunos lugares del mundo, que afectan el desempeño académico de los estudiantes. Este documento se organiza en dos sesiones, determinantes a nivel mundial y determinantes a nivel colombiano; cada sesión clasifica las investigaciones de acuerdo a los factores del estudiante, de la escuela y las características organizacionales y políticas. A pesar de existir muchas investigaciones sobre el tema, aún no se ha llegado a un consenso general sobre cómo determinar los factores del  rendimiento académico, pues en la realidad son muchas las características del individuo, la escuela o el sistema que se relacionan entre sí de diferente manera y pueden afectar el logro estudiantil.ABSTRACTThis document shows the state of the art of the determinants of academic achievement in secondary education, taking into account the main research conducted, both nationally and internationally, about the factors that influence school achievement of students. With this paper, we seek to establish the main variables which affect the academic achievement of students in Colombia as well as in some parts of the world. This document is organized in two sessions: world and Colombian determinants; each session classifies research according to the factors of the student, the school and organizational and political characteristics. Although there is much research on the topic so far it has not been possible to reach a consensus on how to determine the factors of academic achievement, because in reality many characteristics of the individual, of the school or of the system relate to each other differently and can affect student achievement.RESUMOEste documento mostra o Estado da arte dos determinantes do rendimento escolar no ensino medio, tendo em conta às principais pesquisas realizadas, tanto a nível nacional como internacionalmente, sobres os fatores que influenciam o desempenho escolar dos estudantes.

Global Systemic Shift

AbstractThe multidimensional nature of globalization is a work in progress, in many different ways throughout the world. This assessment follows upon an earlier one about the so-called global systemic shift – away from linear, hierarchical, and largely Eurocentric systems of thought and action toward something new, still to be defined and understood.

The Creation

Grid Onput is a set of novel two-dimensional codes comprising extremely small dots. The present authors recently developed software to overlap the dot codes on the user's designed sheet, to create a content to replay audios, to create a standalone application to replay multimedia, and to create an application to replay multimedia on iPad. Simply touching the dot codes with a speaking-pen and/or a dot-code reader enables users to directly access the corresponding digital information; a maximum of four mediums can be easily linked to each dot code icon. In collaboration with schoolteachers all over the world, one of the authors, Shigeru Ikuta, has been creating a variety of original self-made content and conducting various activities at both general and special needs schools. This chapter outlines the recent development of the state-of-the-art Grid Onput dot code technology and presents basic information regarding the creation of original teaching materials using newly developed software and the use at both general and special needs schools.

Geometric Elements

Since 1984, Graphical User Interfaces have typically relied on visual icons that mimic physical objects like the folder, button, and trash can, or canonical geometric elements like menus, and spreadsheet cells. GUI’s leverage our intuition about the physical environment. But the world can be thought of as being made of stuff as well as things. Making interfaces from this point of view requires a way to simulate the physics of stuff in realtime response to continuous gesture, driven by behavior logic that can be understood by the user and the designer. The author argues for leveraging the corporeal intuition that people learn from birth about heat flow, water, smoke, to develop interfaces at the density of matter that leverage in turn the state of the art in computational physics.
