The idea for this editorial came from the academic writing courses that we organized for students. The most difficult aspect encountered in my experience is to convince students that publishing is an ...opportunity for them, if not a necessity. Thus, only a few of the course participants will actually find enough motivation to write a scientific article. So, I asked myself: Why should students publish? A few years ago, I held a presentation in which I argued the paradigm shift about the involvement of students in research activities. Starting from the question Can students be involved in research?, I concluded that Students must do research! Naturally, research activity calls the need for publishing. Aside from the obvious “publishing makes your work known to your peers”, I believe that the act itself carries some important lessons. • To learn how to write. It is known that writing is learned by writing, so it is not enough to attend a course, or read a guide in order to be able to get to publish in high impact journals. At the same time, academic writing is a mandatory skill for all those who want to have an academic or research activity. • To develop critical skills. Academic writing involves studying the literature, thus exercising skills such as critical thinking, synthesizing power or academic expression. • To learn how to read an article. Academic writing requires extensive and rigorous documentation, thus training the ability to read and understand articles. First of all, a good writer must be a good reader. • To benefit of available help and mentorship. It is much easier for a student than for a graduate to find a mentor willing to support and help him in the article writing process. • To improve your resume. The writing activity is fully quantifiable, regardless of the affiliation that the author had. Thus, the articles published during university studies will be as important in the resume as those published after graduation. These skills, like many others in life, may open new and unexpected paths, including higher chances of getting a grant or securing a position in the academia. • Why not? Now, seriously, is there any disadvantage in early publishing? (I couldn't find one) If it is relatively clear that students need to publish, I would like to answer another question: How to start? In my opinion, the best way to start is to write a narrative review article. Through this first experience, the student will learn to define a research hypothesis, to perform an advanced research, to synthesize information and then to write it in an academic matter. All these skills will serve as a core framework for any further writing or research activity. In addition, this form of research requires only available, free and easily accessible resources. Finally, it is obvious that students must acquire, besides pure medical knowledge, complementary skills that will be integrated in their medical and academic activity, scientific writing being one of the basic skills needed by a doctor. So, don’t be afraid to publish early, more and better!
A low temperature method for the fabrication of architected ceramic composites contining graphene is developed based on the infiltration of lightweight graphene oxide (GO) micro-lattices with a ...preceramic polymer. Self-supported highly porous three-dimensional (3D) GO structures fabricated by direct ink writing are infiltrated with a liquid organic-polysilazane (a compound of Si, C, H, N), and subsequently pyrolyzed at temperatures of 800–1000 ºC to activate the ceramic conversion. These ceramic composites replicate the patterned GO skeleton and, whereas the graphene network provides the conductive path for the composite (electrical conductivity in the range 0.2–4 S cm−1), the ceramic wrapping serves as a protective barrier against atmosphere, temperature (up to 900 °C in air) and even direct flame. These structured composites also show hydrophobicity (wetting angle above 120°) and better load bearing capacity than the corresponding 3D GO lattice. The process is very versatile, being applicable to different liquid precursors.
In the present investigation, as a complex objective, we seek to deconstruct the written language for the production of academic-scientific texts, reconstructing it in complex strategies. Through ...rhizomatic writing, we discuss the decolonization of the traditionalism academic-scientific production through complex transmethodology. The paper is presented in four rhizomes in which rhizomatic deconstruction is discussed, transmethodology as an advance on the traditional science complex writing strategies and the contributions of rhizomes for academic-scientific production as a means of better understanding the complexity of things.

This research was motivated by the low narrative essay writing skills of fifth class students in 161 Public Elementary Schools in Pekanbaru. That is because in Indonesian languange learning, the ...teacher has feel difficult to finding the right learning method or technique in delivering narrative essay writing material. Based on the above problems, the problem statement is obtained “ whether there are narrative essay writting skills of control class students and experimenttal classes in narrative essay writing skills of control class students and experimental classes with learning using in class. This research used method of quasy-eksperimental non equivalent control group design. This research carried in two fifth classes of 161 public elementary schools in pekanbaru, namely fifth A class as control and fifth B class as experimental class, with each class has 30 sudents. Based on the posttest results, it was found that the average narrative essay writing skills for students with outline techniques (experimental framework) were higher than the average narrative essay writing skills for students who did not use the outline technique or using conventional learning. After taking action on two classes, the average posttest of the experimental class has a gain average of 0,45 for the moderate category, which means there is an increase above the average and the control class has the average gain is 0,12 or the low category, which means an increase below the average. This proves that the outline technique (essay framework) can further improve students' narrative essay writing skills compared to without outline techniques (essay framework) in fifth grade students in 161 Pekanbaru Public Elementary School.
The surface topography of biomaterials can have an important impact on cellular adhesion, growth and proliferation. Apart from the overall roughness, the detailed morphological features, at all ...length scales, significantly affect the cell-biomaterial interactions in a plethora of applications including structural implants, tissue engineering scaffolds and biosensors. In this study, we present a simple, one-step direct laser patterning technique to fabricate nanoripples and dual-rough hierarchical micro/nano structures to control SW10 cell attachment and migration. It is shown that, depending on the laser processing conditions, distinct cell-philic or cell-repellant patterned areas can be attained with a desired motif. We envisage that our technique could enable spatial patterning of cells in a controllable manner, giving rise to advanced capabilities in cell biology research.
Students as an intellectual group should be able to be pattern for the younger generation, for example to behave honestly and responsibly. In the making of writing products, students must have an ...honest attitude in making writing products. To create student's honest behavior cannot be separated from the role of the institution to form a culture of honest behavior by not doing plagiarism against the work of others. This is the reason of the author to make a study with the title Students Awareness on the Regulation of Intelectual Patent Rights on Their Writting Products (A Case Study on the Students of State Polytechnic of Madiun)Based on the principal issues stated above, the purpose of this legal research are:To know whether or not the students of State Polytechnic of Madiun have an awareness on the regulation of Intelectual Patent Rights On Scientific WritingTo determine what factors influence the level of regulation awareness of students State Polytechnic of Madiun to Copyright on Scientific WritingResearch method used in this research is empirical sociological approach method that have intention to observe how is the reaction and interaction happened when system norm (law) work in the society that is to know whether the students of State Polytechnic of Madiun already have an awareness of law to the Intellectual Patent Right of Scientific Writing and to know what factors may give influence to their level of law awareness of copyright on Scientific WritingBased on the above discussion about students 'legal awareness of intellectual property rights of copyrights on paper case study of Polytechnic State student of Madiun, it can be concluded that the students' legal awareness of copyright rights of writing is still low, indicated by the number of students who know about knowledge IPR / Copyright is still small. The copyright infringement is still committed, i.e., taking photocopies of ordinary and reasonable regardless of the sanctions or rules, then in the case of quoting other people's scientific papers or books, the awareness to include the source of the quotation is still low.Regarding the factors behind the level of law awareness of the students of State Polytechnic of Madiun on the copyright of the paper, the first factor of knowledge and understanding of law, as a whole the students have a low level of knowledge and legal understanding, can be seen from the two aspects contained in it that is about knowledge rules or laws governing and their aims and objectives. Many respondents who only know one of them, know the rules governing, but do not know the purpose of the rule, vice versa. The second concerning legal attitude and legal behavior, most of the students' legal attitude is good, but still many are not good, due to cultural habit factor in the environment and influenced by friends around.
Children with disabilities, particularly with cerebral palsy (CP), generally have academic difficulties in reading, numeracy, speech and writing. As manual writing is a necessity in academic success, ...it seemed wise to evaluate graphic skills in children with CP in Cotonou.
This was a descriptive and analytic case-control study that ran from July to October 2015, involving 174 children in school, 58 of whom were CP matched with healthy children. The evaluation of the writing was made with P. Bedard's scale derived from that of AJURIAGUERRA. The drawing required was that of the man, so all the drawings having a human form are classified B and the others classified A.
There was a female predominance in CP with a sex ratio=0.81. Average school age of children with CP was 6.4 years and that of healthy children 3.4 years. Spastic diplegia was the most common form of CP in children (48.3%). In terms of writing, children with CP had more problems with all items of writing compared to healthy children (P<0.036). Writing was affected by the level of schooling of children with CP (P=0.006) and the posture (0.004). In Drawing, Average of points obtained by healthy children surpassed that obtained by children with CP. Drawing was influenced by muscle tone (P=0.0 04) and father's grade level (P=0.04).
It appears from this study that children with CP had difficulties with writing and drawing influenced by several factors whose correction would improve their graphics. Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) could be a welcome way of solving these problems in developing countries with fewer resources.
