Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever 
Dengue fever, a very old disease, has reemerged in the past 20 years with 
an expanded geographic distribution of both the viruses and the mosquito 
vectors, increased epidemic activity, the development of hyperendemicity 
(the cocirculation of multiple serotypes), and the emergence of dengue 
hemorrhagic fever in new geographic regions. In 1998 this mosquito-borne 
disease is the most important tropical infectious disease after malaria, with 
an estimated 100 million cases of dengue fever, 500,000 cases of dengue 
hemorrhagic fever, and 25,000 deaths annually. The reasons for this 
resurgence and emergence of dengue hemorrhagic fever in the waning 
years of the 20th century are complex and not fully understood, but 
demographic, societal, and public health infrastructure changes in the 
past 30 years have contributed greatly. This paper reviews control. A major 
challenge for public health officials in all the changing epidemiology of 
dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever by geographic region, the natural 
history and transmission cycles, clinical diagnosis of both dengue fever 
and dengue hemorrhagic fever, serologic and virologic laboratory 
diagnoses, pathogenesis, surveillance, prevention, and opical areas of the 
world is to devleop and implement sustainable prevention and control 
programs that will reverse the trend of emergent dengue hemorrhagic 
fever.
Let’s summarize the text: 
The paper discuss issues related to the changing epidemiology 
of dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever by geographic region. 
According to the paper Dengue fever is a very old disease that 
reemerged in the last 20 years and as a consequence increased 
epidemic activity in new geographic regions. 
The author states that the reasons for the resurgence and 
emergence of dengue hemorrhagic fever are complex and not 
fully understood, but according to the paper demographic, 
societal, and public health infrastructure changes in the past 30 
years have contributed greatly.
The New Woman in Victorian 
Literature 
The Victorian era was defined as a series of changes in regards to the 
social, political and moral aspects of England during the nineteenth 
century. Many works during the Victorian period such as Sarah Stickney 
Ellis’ The Women of England: Their Social Duties and Domestic Habits, 
Coventry Patmore’s The Angel in the House, and John Ruskin’s Of 
Queens’ Gardens show a complex understanding of the intricate 
practices constituting Victorian women’s lives and reveal the domestic 
ideology of the time. In Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Lady Audley’s 
Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon and The Woman in White by Wilkie 
Collins the reader is able to see the tensions of the era regarding the 
Woman Question; in particular, the focus within these novels is on the 
woman as working for or against the conservative principles of the 
Victorian Era. The characters of Jane Eyre, Lucy Audley, and Marian 
Halcombe work against the conventions of idealized femininity during 
the Victorian era as described in the majority of the works of the time.

Inhibitory Effects of Brazilian Propolis on Lipid 
Accumulation in 3T3-L1 Cells 
We here investigated the inhibitory effect of Brazilian propolis on 
intracellular lipid accumulation. Seven ethanolic extracts of Brazilian 
propolis were tested for their inhibitory effect on intracellular lipid 
accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells. Among the seven Brazilian propolis, the 
extracts AF-08 and AF-18 had inhibitory effects on intracellular lipid 
accumulation. In particular, the Brazilian propolis AF-08 exhibited a 
potential inhibitory effect on intracellular lipid accumulation.Thus, 
these results suggest that the Brazilian propolis AF-08 contributes to 
the prevention of metabolic syndrome. In addition, five known 
triterpenoids were isolated from the Brazilian propolis AF-08: 
betulonic acid, moronic acid, 3-oxo oleanolic acid, masticadienonic 
acid, and anwnweizonic acid. Four of the triterpenoids exhibited an 
inhibitory effect on intracellular lipid accumulation. Thus, these 
triterpenoids may be important as antiobesity agents that inhibit the 
metabolic syndrome

Plant genetic engineering for biofuel 
production: towards affordable 
cellulosic ethanol 
Biofuels provide a potential route to avoiding the global 
political instability and environmental issues that arise from 
reliance on petroleustarch m. Currently, most biofuel is in 
the form of ethanol generated from or sugar, but this can 
meet only a limited fraction of global fuel requirements. 
Conversion of cellulosic biomass, which is both abundant 
and renewable, is a promising alternative. However, the 
cellulases and pretreatment processes involved are very 
expensive. Genetically engineering plants to produce 
cellulases and hemicellulases, and to reduce the need for 
pretreatment processes through lignin modification, are 
promising paths to solving this problem, together with other 
strategies, such as increasing plant polysaccharide content 
and overall biomass.
Research on Teaching and Teacher 
Research: The Issues That Divide 
 Neither interpretive nor process-product classroom research has foregrounded the 
teacher's role in the generation of knowledge about teaching. What is missing from the 
knowledge base for teaching, therefore, are the voices of the teachers themselves, the 
questions teachers ask, the ways teachers use writing and intentional talk in their work 
lives, and the interpretive frames teachers use to understand and improve their own 
classroom practices. Limiting the official knowledge base for teaching to what academics 
have chosen to study and write about has contributed to a number of problems, including 
discontinuity between what is taught in universities and what is taught in classrooms, 
teachers' ambivalence about the claims of academic research, and a general lack of 
information about classroom life from a truly emic perspective. This article proposes that 
teacher research has the potential to provide this perspective; however, several critical 
issues divide teacher research from research on teaching and make it difficult for the 
university-based community to acknowledge its potential. The article also proposes that in 
order to encourage teacher research, the educational community will need to address 
incentives for teachers, the creation and maintenance of supportive networks, the reform 
of organizational patterns in schools, and the hierarchical power relationships that 
characterize much of schooling.
Expanding Agribusiness: China and Brazil in 
Ghanaian Agriculture 
This article examines the extent, framing and 
structure of Chinese and Brazilian investments in 
Ghana. It outlines the changing political economy of 
the agrarian sector, in the context of market 
liberalisation and the rise of agribusiness. The 
article examines the specificities of Chinese 
agricultural investments in Ghana in relation to 
wider investments and Chinese interests in the 
country. It also examines Brazilian investments 
within the Ghanaian agricultural sector in relation to 
the expansion of Brazilian agribusiness and its 
integration into the global economy. Finally, it 
discusses the impact of these developments on 
Ghanaian agriculture and society

This article proposes that teacher research has the potential to provide this perspective; however, several critical issues divide teacher research from research on teaching and make it difficult for the university-based community to acknowledge its potential. The article also proposes that in order to encourage teacher research, the educational community will need to address incentives for teachers, the creation and maintenance of supportive networks, the reform of organizational patterns in schools, and the hierarchical power relationships that characterize much of schooling.

Editor's Notes

  • #43 Webster defines the word in this way (Read slide). We need to break content into manageable succinct pieces. The word “sum” comes from Latin, meaning “highest or super.” In some ways, summarizing is giving a higher level response.
  • #44 After students have read one of the suggested texts mentioned on the previous slide, some type of modeling and follow-up activity is needed. Teachers need to model key elements related to summarizing by use of the overhead or chart paper. The following are critical components to students’ understanding of the overall process of summarizing text: 1) pulling out main ideas, 2) focusing on key details, 3) using key words and phrases, 4) breaking down the larger ideas, 5) writing only enough to convey the gist, and 6) taking succinct but complete notes. Answering the basic questions – Who? What? When? Where? How? Why? is a strategy to assist students in developing the concepts above. Of particular importance in summary is, “Who did what?” Pointing out that students should pay attention to introductions and last paragraphs of a text, first and last sentences of paragraphs, and bold-faced words may help in summarizing.
  • #45 In order to teach students how to identify the topic, Jeffrey Wilhelm, in his book Improving Comprehension with Think-Alouds Strategies, recommends the steps listed on the slide. In addition, remind students that the topic must include all the major details and events from the selection and what they have in common.
  • #46 Keene states, “I combine new ideas with what I already know to get something new and different.”
  • #47 When using the strategy of reciprocal teaching, the teacher and students take turns modeling summarization. With this technique, students are provided with many opportunities to observe others summarizing and also to participate in creating their own summaries. Students are encouraged to use the prompts listed in this slide to guide their summaries.
