Political Background

Despite its tremendous successes, science still fails (1.) to satisfactorily explain certain phenomena and (2.) to meaningfully integrate other, culturally distinct forms of knowledge to make them accessible to a wider scientific understanding. Research results presented in this article as well as experiences from intercultural education do suggest, that this difficulty to integrate "different" knowledge might be a specific quality of modern science, which is working as an operationally closed system of knowledge production and perpetuation (hypotheses I). In contrast, other (e.g. performative-narrative) knowledge systems seem to be able (1.) to integrate other (e.g. scientific) knowledge (hypotheses II) and (2.) to provide explanatory models for some noncausal phenomena still lacking of a consistent scientific explanation (hypotheses III).Intercultural education has lead to the development of intercultural spaces for knowledge construction or "contact zones" and some very interesting new concepts. But due to the political background of those developments, they do not provide viable solutions for the epistemological dilemma of science at large - and as a consequence, they do not guarantee for the legitimation of indigenous knowledge at the epistemological level. The author suggests to develop new epistemological dispositifs, which could serve as "hinges" between culturally different types of knowledge, and thus, open ways to mutual intercultural learning and new scientific approaches. But it is also put attention to institutional restrictions and power relations within scientific academia and further suggested to create new spaces for mutual intercultural learningoutside the academic realm.

Human Olfaction

The complexity of human olfaction is very high and the importance of being able to measure it directly, objectively and qualitatively has led experts to search for mechanisms that can be applied. Human beings use this sense, which is one of the oldest, to recognize danger and distinguish between pleasant and unpleasant odors. Smells are mixtures of molecules that, at different concentrations in the inhaled air, stimulate the olfactory area and are recognized at the brain level. Therefore, there is a coding and decoding system. Human olfactometer techniques use equipment designed to be able to measure its intensity and quality of volatile substances. If we are able to measure this sense, we will be able to know its variations and be able to make clinical diagnoses in normal and pathological conditions and diagnose the losses that occur in certain infectious, degenerative diseases, traumatic processes and other variants. For many years, systems have been developed that can measure subjective olfaction in humans, as well as objective forms, but it is also true that there is no equipment available that is fast, simple handling and that can be applied in daily clinical services. Aim of the Study Present the recent achievements in olfactometer technology; Elaborate the scientific articles about olfactometry published mainly in the last 10 years; To gather the information published in the last years in relation to the usefulness, existence in the market and purposes of equipment that can measure the odors, what we will call the Smell-o-meter or olfactometer for human use. Material and Methods: In the first part of this research we will gather most of the information existing so far in international bibliography, as well as the achievements and utilities obtained to date. Following, we will analyze all the new concepts related to smell-o-meters devices that exist on the market and assess the possibility, based on what has been done so far, to seek new practical systems for application in the medical field.

Concept maps have been shown to have a positive impact on the quality of student learning in a variety of disciplinary contexts and educational levels from primary school to university by helping students to connect ideas and develop a productive knowledge structure to support future learning. However, the evaluation of concept maps has always been a contentious issue. Some authors focus on the quantitative assessment of maps, while others prefer a more descriptive determination of map quality. To our knowledge, no previous consideration of concept maps has evaluated the different types of knowledge (e.g., procedural and conceptual) embedded within a concept map, or the ways in which they may interact. In this paper we consider maps using the lens provided by the Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) to analyze concept maps in terms of semantic gravity and semantic density. Weaving between these qualitatively, different knowledges are considered necessary to achieve professional knowledge or expert understanding. Exemplar maps are used as illustrations of the way in which students may navigate their learning towards expertise and how this is manifested in their concept maps. Implications for curriculum design and teaching evaluation are included.

The training processes of nature-based sport professionals, the mastery of different types of knowledge, the quality of technical, pedagogical and scientific intervention in different activities, the safeguarding of safety and risk management issues, the good practices associated with sustainability and development are, among others, some of the areas that can (and should) contribute to the development of this area. Considering this purpose and based on a synthesis of applied research, as well as the accumulation of two decades of experience, we present our understanding of what we consider relevant for the way to go, in the context of training and intervention in nature-based sport.

Læreres kunnskap har betydning for elevenes læring, og som et ledd i prosessen for styrking av kvaliteten i norsk skole har politikere i senere tid ytret ønske om å kartlegge læreres kunnskap. Kartlegging av læreres kunnskap er imidlertid ikke enkelt, og i denne artikkelen undersøker vi hvordan de samme lærernes undervisningskunnskap i matematikk kan se ut til å være forskjellig når den måles ved hjelp av oppgaver med ulikt format. Deltakerne i studien var 30 praktiserende lærere, og instrumentet besto av 28 flervalgsoppgaver med tilhørende åpne oppgaver. Sammenhengen mellom lærernes kunnskap slik den måles ved hjelp av flervalgsoppgavene og de åpne oppgavene er ikke alltid klar. Det er derfor nødvendig å tilnærme seg måling av læreres undervisnings-kunnskap i matematikk med stor varsomhet. Nærmere undersøkelser er nødvendig for å finne ut hva slags type kunnskap som kan måles med ulike typer oppgaver og hva slags måleinstrumenter som kan brukes til hvilke formål.Nøkkelord: Undervisningskunnskap i matematikk, kartlegging, måleinstrument-er, flervalgsoppgaver AbstractTeachers’ knowledge influence students’ learning, and as part of their attempts to increase the quality of Norwegian schools, politicians have announced their intentions to measure the knowledge of teachers. Measuring teacher knowledge is not straightforward, however, and this article investigates how a group of mathematics teachers’ knowledge might appear different when measured by items of different formats. The participants in this study were 30 in-service teachers, and the instrument consisted of 28 multiple-choice items with associated open-response items. The connection between the teachers’ know-ledge as measured by multiple-choice items and open-response items is not always straightforward. As an implication, it is necessary to approach measure-ment of teachers’ mathematical knowledge for teaching with great care. Further studies are necessary in order to investigate what types of knowledge can be measured by different types of items and how different kinds of measuring instruments can be used for particular purposes.Key words: Mathematical knowledge for teaching, measurement, instruments, multiple-choice items

Direct Microscopic Observation

The utilization of the ChemScan® RDI was tested for different types of water concentrates. Concentrates were prepared by cartridge filtration or flocculation, and analysed either without purification, or after Immunomagnetic separation (IMS) or flotation on percoll-sucrose gradients. Theenumeration of the oocysts was subsequently performed using the ChemScan® RDI Cryptosporidium application. Enumeration by direct microscopic observation of the entire surface of the membrane was carried out as a control, and recoveries were calculated as a ratio between the ChemScan® RDI result and the result obtained with direct microscopic enumeration. The Chemscan enumeration technique proved reliable, with recoveries yielding close to 100% in most cases (average 125%, range from 86 to 467%) for all the concentration/purification techniques tested. The quality of the antibodies was shown to be critical, with antibodies from some suppliers yielding recoveries a low as 10% in some cases. This difficulty could, however, be overcome by the utilization of the antibody provided by Chemunex. These data conclusively prove that laser scanning cytometry, which greatly facilitates the microscopic enumeration of Cryptosporidium oocysts from water samples and decreases the time of observation by four to six times, can be successfully applied to water concentrates prepared from a variety of concentration/purification techniques.

Panchakarma is a fruitful measure and its extensive efficacies are classified in different dimensions to cure different types of complicated diseases. Vamana, Virechana, Niruha, Anuvasana and Nasya are the five procedures and subsequently even Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya and Rakta Mokshana are broadly termed as Panchakarma in day to day practices.The new diseases are evolving with intense gravity and therefore to combat those, Panchakarma is a very effective measure. In present era competition and advancement have led to hectic and stressful life, man has eventually forgotten the absolute enjoyment and solitary affection of nature and as a result is facing many health problems. Gridhrasi is no exception, it is correlated to sciatica in modern science where low back ache radiating to toes in the lateral aspect of the thigh associated with stiffness is the main complaint.
