Reviewing The Humanbecoming Paradigm: An Everchanging Horizon was a living quality experience and reminded this reviewer of the power of Parse’s passion and devotion in developing the humanbecoming paradigm for nursing. The presentation of humanbecoming is compelling and exquisitely detailed. It is highly recommended that this book be required for graduate students and faculty for a deep intense understanding of humanbecoming. There are dense chapters in relation to history, principles, and concepts; sciencing; living the art of humanbecoming; family and community models; leading-following model; mentoring model; teaching-learning model; and a chapter on developing a program for PhD education, complete with suggested courses, philosophy, and methodologies.

Environmental DNA (eDNA), i.e. DNA released in the environment by any living form, represents a formidable opportunity to gather high-throughput and standard information on the distribution or feeding habits of species. It has therefore great potential for applications in ecology and biodiversity management. However, this research field is fast-moving, involves different areas of expertise and currently lacks standard approaches, which calls for an up-to-date and comprehensive synthesis. Environmental DNA for biodiversity research and monitoring covers current methods based on eDNA, with a particular focus on “eDNA metabarcoding”. Intended for scientists and managers, it provides the background information to allow the design of sound experiments. It revisits all steps necessary to produce high-quality metabarcoding data such as sampling, metabarcode design, optimization of PCR and sequencing protocols, as well as analysis of large sequencing datasets. All these different steps are presented by discussing the potential and current challenges of eDNA-based approaches to infer parameters on biodiversity or ecological processes. The last chapters of this book review how DNA metabarcoding has been used so far to unravel novel patterns of diversity in space and time, to detect particular species, and to answer new ecological questions in various ecosystems and for various organisms. Environmental DNA for biodiversity research and monitoring constitutes an essential reading for all graduate students, researchers and practitioners who do not have a strong background in molecular genetics and who are willing to use eDNA approaches in ecology and biomonitoring.

Purpose Existing studies reflect that traditional teaching–learning relationships between supervisors and graduate students have become disjointed with actuality seriously. In particular, there are practical difficulties in handling many students from coursework-based postgraduate degrees under current university curricula. Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationship between research supervisors and graduate students on social media, which is popular among students. Design/methodology/approach This study surveyed 109 graduate students from two majors (population around 100 each) of a university in Hong Kong to explore their information usage for research on social media, related attitudes and their perceived supervisor relationships. The differences between the two majors were also compared. Findings The authors’ findings indicated that graduate students were active on social media, and social media has successfully provided effective alternate ways for students to communicate with their research supervisors. Social media could improve relationships between supervisors and research students and among fellow students. Besides education purposes, students also discussed their personal affairs on social media with supervisors, demonstrating enhanced trusted relationships. Graduate students also showed confidence in the further application of social media in higher education. Some differences between respondents from the two programs were also found in terms of communication contents, strengths, personal preferences and purposes for using social media. Originality/value Scant studies focus on the relationship between supervisors and graduate students under the current social media environment, especially for students from coursework-based postgraduate degrees. At a deeper level, for the widespread use of social media in the information age, this study explores the specific changes brought about by social media. Therefore, this study is of great theoretical and practical value to graduate education under the current social media environment.

AbstractThis research was conducted with the aim to find out how much influence the contextual teaching learning model of learning motivation of Islamic education study program students at the Islamic University of Syekh Yusuf Tangerang. The research method used is a quantitative research method with data collection techniques in the form of questionnaires. The respondents of this study were 25 Islamic education study program students. Based on the results of data processing and discussion, it can be concluded that the contextual teaching learning model has a low effect of 11.56% on student learning motivation. But when testing the hypothesis,   implies that  is accepted and rejected . AbstrakPenelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruh model pembelajaran contextual teaching learning terhadap motivasi belajar mahasiswa program studi pendidikan Islam Universitas Islam Syekh Yusuf Tangerang. Metode  penelitian yang digunakan  adalah metode penelitian kuantitatif  dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa penyebaran angket. Responden  penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa program studi pendidikan agama Islam yang berjumlah 25 mahasiswa. Berdasarkan hasil olah data dan pembahasan diperoleh kesimpulan bahwasanya Model Pembelajaran contextual teaching learning berpengaruh rendah 11,56% terhadap motivasi belajar mahasiswa. Namun pada saat pengujian hipotesis,  hal ini mengandung arti bahwasanya diterimanya dan ditolaknya .

One of the reasons for the low learning outcomes is that the learning method used by the teacher does not involve student activity and also the lack of care from the teacher to provide media in learning. The courage to speak a student is very important and needed in a class discussion, because with a student daring to speak in front of the class he has been found as an active student. The purpose of this article is to discuss the application of realia media in increasing the courage to speak students during learning or class discussion so as to increase student activity. Realia media is an object that can be seen, heard or experienced by students so as to provide experience directly to them. Quantum Teaching is an effective and fun and not boring learning model. Quantum Teaching learning steps are known as TANDUR: (1) Grow (2) Natural (3) Rename (4) Demonstration (5) Repeat and (6) Celebrate. Relevant research results show that Media Realia is able to increase student activity in asking, discussing, and expressing their opinions.   Keyword: Quantum Teaching, Media Realia, Speak.

<p><em>This study aims to know about differences in student learning outcomes that are reviewed from the SAVI learning modelwith Reciprocal Teaching learning model on circle material. This quantitative quasi-experiment research carried in SMPN 1 Karangrejo with 348 population and sample takencluster random samplingso that there are 2 classes namely VIII D class as a SAVI learning model class with 32 students, and VIII B clas as a reciprocal teaching learning model class with 32 students. The data analize using t-test. After making a calculation with a significant level is 5% and dk 62 so obtained t<sub>count</sub>= 7,141765 &gt; t<sub>table</sub>= 1,99897, its mean H<sub>0 rejected </sub> and H<sub>1</sub> received, so it was concluded that there was a significant difference between the learning outcomes of mathematics using the SAVI learning model and the Reciprocal Teaching learning model at the learning outcomes of mathematics on circle material at the students VIII class in SMPN 1 Karangrejo in the period 2017/2018</em><em></em></p><p><em> </em></p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>:mathematics learning outcomes, SAVI, reciprocal teachin</em>
