Alaska Standards - Alaska Department of Education and Early Development
This revised edition of the Alaska standards booklet represents the intense effort by many people to describe what the students in our state should know and be able to do as a result of their public school experience.
Our state embarked on this campaign in 1993 with the development of content standards—broad statements of what our students should know and be able to do. The first edition of this booklet included content standards in ten core subject areas: English/language arts, mathematics,
science, geography, government and citizenship, history, skills for a healthy life, arts, world languages, and technology.
A second edition added content standards for employability and library information/literacy; performance standards in reading, writing, and mathematics; and cultural standards for students.
To fulfill requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), the third edition of the standards booklet added:
• Expanded performance standards in reading, writing, and mathematics by inclusive grade level expectations for grades 3 through 10;
• Revised science content standards; and
• Science performance standards and grade level expectations for grades 3 through 11.
The State of Alaska has called upon school districts to adopt the state standards. In September
2001, the State Board of Education & Early Development adopted a regulation that extended statewide testing to all students in grades 3 through 9. Beginning in 2004, high school students were required to pass the High School Graduation Qualifying Examination, a criterion-referenced test targeting essential skills, in order to earn a high school diploma.
In April 2005, in response to NCLB, the state implemented criterion–referenced tests for students in grades 3 through 9, in order to measure how well all students meet the Alaska performance standards. Norm-referenced tests were required in fifth and seventh grades. In 2006, students in tenth grade will also be assessed on grade–specific performance standards.
This system of standards and assessments gives educators, families, and policy makers solid information with which to hold schools and communities accountable for the academic achievement of children and prepare all Alaska students for the future.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

“Mountmellick Environmental Group (MEG) present certificates to
winners of anti-litter project”
Over 100 people attended the presentation of certificates to winners of
a poster competition to raise awareness of a new anti litter project
which is being run throughout Mountmellick by Mountmellick
Environment Group(MEG). As part of the project, local schools
were invited to take part in the competition to raise awareness on the
need for action. There was a tremendous response and three local
schools, St Pauls NS, St Joseph’s Girls NS and Mountmellick
Community School, took part.
MEG, originally set up in 2001, by members of residents associations in
Mountmellick to highlight the need for good environmental
living. The present focus of the group is taking up the challenge of
becoming a more sustainable town and within this addressing the
litter problem.
