Integration of Control and Monitoring Systems
Authors: Efanov D. V.
Published: December 2020

Stationary systems for monitoring devices of train traffic control are currently being implemented as external means of technical diagnostics and are located mainly centrally. The set of diagnostic parameters is scarce, and most measurements are indirect. This, ultimately, leads to low efficiency of monitoring systems, and the share of useful information from the total amount of data according to experts does not exceed 5 %. The development of monitoring technologies should follow the path of integration of measurement and control functions. The objective of the work is to draw the attention of the scientific community to the principles of monitoring and control systems implementation and the transition from their disunity to integration. Using methods of technical diagnostics and monitoring, it is proposed to switch to more advanced control systems with built-in means of troubleshooting and monitoring. The author has proposed the concept of integrated technical diagnostic tools with object controllers in the form of removable monitoring modules that transmit data along dedicated diagnostic transmission paths. Depending on the geographical location of the controller (centralized at the control station or decentralized near the controlled object), a set of diagnostic parameters is determined and a choice of diagnostic information processing methods is carried out. With decentralized location of controllers, the diagnostic modules can transmit diagnostic information from external and distributed sensors at railway infrastructure facilities. Implementation of the presented concept will allow receiving a much larger amount of initial data for operation of monitoring systems, including transition to obtaining digital twins of railway infrastructure facilities. In a broader sense, when organizing monitoring systems, it is necessary to focus not only on railway automation, but also pay attention to other infrastructure facilities serviced by personnel of adjacent sectors. Since all objects function together, such an approach to organization of monitoring will improve quality of diagnosis and prognosis, as well as provide an opportunity to assess the residual resource of technical objects.
On the Issue of Efficiency of Shunting Diesel Locomotives at Cargo Terminals
Authors: Lysenko N. E. , Kuznetsova I. A. , Kuznetsov K. S.
Published: December 2020

The main shunting operations at the cargo terminal compose of supply of cars for loading and their removal after unloading. The article describes the modes of operation of a shunting diesel locomotive performing these operations. The procedure for calculating in the form of an algorithm for determining performance indicators of a shunting locomotive is given, followed by the results of calculations for performing a technological operation of supplying cars for loading and removing them after unloading by a ChME3 diesel locomotive at the cargo terminal. The necessity of increasing the requirements for quality of control decisions made by drivers of shunting diesel locomotives is determined. The criterion for evaluating the use of one or another locomotive control mode has been adjusted. These studies are aimed at ensuring control in the most efficient way, providing for a reduction in fuel consumption by shunting diesel locomotives and thereby reducing the cost of shunting work at the cargo terminal, the costs for owners of cargo terminals. Also, a comparative analysis of the use of various options for controlling a diesel locomotive for the most common operation, supply of five cars for loading and their removal after unloading, at the cargo terminal under specified operating conditions is performed and presented. The cost of fuel saved through the use of a rational mode of control of a shunting locomotive has been determined.

Published: December 2020

The article substantiates the relevance of the study and development of coping behavior of future civil aviation pilots in the context of their higher professional education. The results of the study are presented, the purpose of which was to determine strength of coping strategies used by cadet pilots in difficult life situations, as well as their types of psychological defenses that «trigger» the mechanism of evading prompt and constructive solutions to personal and professional problems. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is a stressoriented approach to coping (R. Lazarus, S. Folkman). This approach studies the phenomenon of coping in terms of effectiveness and inefficiency of human interaction with stress factors. As an empirical research method, testing was selected according to the questionnaire «Strategies for coping behavior» developed by a group of scientists from the laboratory of clinical psychology of St. Petersburg Psychoneurological Institute named after V. M. Bekhterev, and the questionnaire of types of psychological defense (R. Plutchik in adaptation of L. I. Wasserman, O. F. Eryshev [et al]). The effectiveness of these methods is confirmed by the results of their application in examination of various categories of tested persons, by retest reliability, internal and external validity. To determine presence or absence of a linear relationship between a number of values of «Confrontation» coping strategy (as, in our opinion, the most destructive strategy in flight conditions) and a series of values of the most pronounced types of psychological defenses of the respondents identified in the study, the method of parametric statistics was applied, calculation of the Pearson correlation criterion. Based on assessment of strength of the correlation between the coping strategy «Confrontation» and psychological defenses «Regression», «Projection», and «Substitution», the degree of their influence on the nature of interaction of pilots in the flight and cabin crew and on flight safety in general was analyzed.

Authors: Popov A. V. , Kaimakova U. M. , Stetsky N. P.
Published: December 2020

The Russian Federation occupies one of the first places in terms of road transport mortality. While the countries of the European Union play a special and significant role in reducing global indicators of road traffic mortality. The objective of the study is to compare the level of knowledge on first aid techniques among drivers in the Russian Federation and EU countries. In continuation of the previous work, in the framework of which a study was conducted by interviewing citizens of the Russian Federation according to the questionnaire developed by the authors, the number of respondents increased from 107 to 403 people. To compare the indicators, 402 European Union citizens were surveyed. The survey was conducted in May–September 2018 and in January and June 2019. A direct survey was conducted by the students of VPI (branch) of VolSTU and Volgograd State Medical University. The platform https://docs.google.com/forms was also used, a link to the questionnaire was posted in the most active driver communities in the social networks Vkontakte and Facebook. According to the data received, Russian driving schools are much more likely to neglect conducting first aid classes than European ones. EU respondents were much less likely to encounter the need for first aid, which may be due to the shorter time for arrival of a team of doctors at the scene of an accident. The most significant discrepancies were revealed in drivers’ knowledge regarding issues related to application of a hemostatic tourniquet, indications of beginning of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and its methods, and actions in case of fractures of the extremities, i.e. critical in cases of traffic accidents. The general preliminary conclusion, subject to fruther detailing, is drawn that more attention is paid to first aid issues in the EU. To improve the situation in Russia, a number of measures have been proposed: compulsory medical classes at driving schools by a medical professional, greater attention to training in first aid techniques in educational institutions, training of special services for first aid skills and facilitating the training of ordinary citizens.

Authors: Reingold Leonid , Solovev Aleksandr , Reingold Elena
Published: December 2020

Dramatical changes in society’s infrastructure require new conceptual approaches towards the research of socioeconomic phenomena. Nowadays, environment surrounding people experience qualitative changes; it has become possible to use full information on the history of objects. It is essential to develop a conceptual framework enabling to thoroughly describe the interaction of an individual and a socioeconomic environment that is changed by digital technologies. In this article, it is suggested to use the concept of socioeconomic technology in the context of exploration of digitalization processes. These include the Internet of things, big data processing, widespread implementation of personal tools to process and share information etc. The concept of socioeconomic technology allows tying up new technologies with the needs of an individual and society as well as with phenomena emerging in socioeconomic infrastructure. The suggested approach may be used at the development and implementation of the Internet of things, of global communication infrastructure, of technologies for processing and storage of data, and for the research of other aspects of society’s digitalization. Today it is possible to research different directions for the development of consumption sphere and technologies taking into account the emergence of virtual properties of objects. Virtual properties result for example in multiple ways to implement things, in the possibility to store and use the full history of major objects surrounding an individual. Conceptual framework suggested in this article allows holistically addressing the issues of commercial efficiency and socioeconomic management in the age of digitalization.

Published: December 2020

The paper presents the results of a study of the possibility of implementing an effective and physically correct stochastic ray tracing in gradient media based on the Runge-Kutta method. For implementation in the photorealistic rendering system, the specifics of the ray tracing method in complex three-dimensional scenes were considered. One of the main features of ray tracing in geometrically complex scenes is the large volume of geometric primitives that need to be tested for the intersection of the ray segment with the primitives. A method of ray propagation in voxel space of the scene is proposed. The method allows significant speeding up the process of searching for ray intersections with geometry primitives. To implement these ray tracing features the special program interface for gradient media was proposed, which can become the basic interface for a media of all types. Methods for calculating the luminance of all lighting components in gradient media were considered. The results of modeling the propagation of rays and image synthesis in a fiber with a refractive index gradient are presented.

Published: December 2020

Teaching English for the non-English Department has a huge challenge. Most of the students are in low motivation to learn a foreign language including English because they are more interested in their main subject than the supported subject. They assumed that English is difficult and complicated so that they have a low desire to learn the subject. It affects their competences and performances, therefore another creative method is crucial to be implemented in the classroom. One of the solutions is creating a fun learning of English final project. This research aims to identify whether drama can build their motivation and interest to speak and learn English. Drama can be performed by the students in groups and create stories based on their creativity. The research method used is qualitative by interviewing some of the students and the quantitative research methods by distributing a questionnaire. The research results show that most of the students stated that learning English through drama has a positive effect on their motivation, it is more than 45% of the students agree that drama encourages them to learn English. It is expected that drama can be implemented in the classroom to enhance students’ motivation in the first semester of the year.

There are 4 main points to be addressed clearly in abstract section: (1) background of research title, (2) research purpose, (3) research methodology, and (4) research result/contribution. Background section should be the shortest part of the abstract and should very briefly outline the following information: What is already known about the subject, related to the paper in question? What is not known about the subject and hence what the study intended to examine (or what the paper seeks to present - purpose). In most cases, the background can be framed in just 2–3 sentences, with each sentence describing a different aspect of the information referred to above. The purpose of the research, as the word itself indicates, is to provide the reader with a background to the study, and hence to smoothly lead into a description of the methods employed in the investigation. The methodology section is usually the second-longest section in the abstract. It should contain enough information to enable the reader to understand what was done, and important questions to which the methods section should provide brief answers. The results section is the most important part of the abstract and nothing should compromise its range and quality. The results section should therefore be the longest part of the abstract and should contain as much detail about the findings as the journal word count permits.

Authors: GÖKER Göksel , GÖKER Neslihan
Published: December 2020

Cinsellik, en temel reklam çekiciliklerinden biridir. Günümüz reklamcılık anlayışı içerisinde, reklam iletisinin hedef kitleye en etkin şekilde ulaştırılması ve reklamın güçlü bir etki bırakması amacıyla, reklamlarda cinsel çekiciliklerin yoğun bir şekilde kullanıldığı görülmektedir. İstisnai durumlar olmakla birlikte, reklamlarda cinsel çekiciliğin çoğunlukla heteroseksüel anlam dünyası ve söylem düzeni içerisinde kullanıldığı ifade edilebilir. Cinselliğe ilişkin sosyo-kültürel, psikolojik ve ideolojik tartışmaların odağında normalliğe ilişkin tanımlamalar bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle, cinsellik aynı zamanda bir kimlik problemi olarak değerlendirilir. Bir taraftan normal olan ya da normallik ölçütleri belirlenir, diğer taraftan da normal-dışılık, ötekilik veya marjinalliğin çerçevesi çizilir. Bu nedenle reklamlarda, genellikle normalliğin sınırları içerisinde işleyen bir cinsel çekicilik stratejisi devrededir. Bu çalışmada; normalliği aşan, katı heteroseksüel cinsel kimliği akışkan bir forma dönüştürerek fantazmatik bir atmosfer yaratan The Secret Life of Flowers reklam filminde kullanılan cinsel çekiciliğin analizi yapılmaktadır. Reklam çözümlenmesinde göstergebilimsel yöntem esas alınmış; reklam filminin genel betimlemesi, anlatı yapısı, kıyafetler ve anlamlandırmada kullanılan temel zıtlıklar analiz edilmiştir.

Recent literature evidence shows that the Tanzania Public Debt is rapidly growing and the Tanzania Government is using 40% of its domestic revenue to service the public debt at a time when substantially more funding is required for keeping the Tanzania agriculture sector, economic development activities and most important the sustainable development goals attainable. The present study is undertaken to evaluate the influence of the public debt to the agriculture sector in Tanzania.  The study firstly assesses the marginal change of the annual average public debt influence to the agriculture gross domestic product and secondly the study evaluated the correlation between the public debt and the agriculture gross domestic product during the period from 1996 to 2018 in Tanzania. With that regard the study applied the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method to analyze the average annual growth rates of the public debt and the agriculture sector gross domestic product during the period from 1996 to 2018 in Tanzania.Public debt and agriculture sector gross domestic product time series data were collected from the World Bank and the Bank Of Tanzania annual reports during the period from 1996 to 2018 for Tanzania.To assess the marginal annual average change for the public debt and the agriculture sector gross domestic product the annual average growth rate for the sub periods of 1996-2000, 2001-2005, 2006-2010, 2011-2015 and for the presidential term 1996-2005 (Third President Term), 2006-2015 (Fourth Presidential Term), and 2016-2018( Three Years Of The Fifth Presidential Term) were evaluated. While to evaluate the influence of the public debt to the agriculture sector gross domestic product, the correlation between the public debt and the agriculture sector gross domestic product were investigated during the period from 1996 to 2018 in Tanzania. The findings of the study in actual fact catching up the attention. The study findings revealed that the  public debt and the agriculture sector gross domestic product marginal annual average change is positive while the correlation between the public debt and the agriculture sector gross domestic product is negative and insignificant during the period from 1996 to 2018 in Tanzania.
Foundations and Introduction of Islamic Economics: Role and Trends
Authors: Dr. Bilal Ahmad Khan
Published: December 2020

Islamic economics based on specific concept of universe and the creation of man is contradictory to the concept adopted and accepted by modern science. Islamic economics postulates although ability and expertise is required for progress and growth but distribution of resources completely dependent on it would be cruel, inhuman and bereft of kindness, and lead to oppression. Islamic economics does not favor making human ability and expertise the fulcrum of resource distribution. It should be kind, considerate and based on justice and fairness. This is because according to Islamic philosophy, ownership is considered to be a trust from Allah which has been bestowed on the rich so that they may utilize it correctly. In Islamic economics the role of the individual, has inclinations and his aims and objectives occupy a central position and are vitally important. He is definitely a rational being but his level of rationality is not confined to the calculations of cost and profit. An individual does not want merely to obtain monetary profit and physical pleasure and leisure but he also wants and aims for something beyond what the material world has to offer. The main aim of the study is to find out the relationship between Islam and economics. In Islamic economics the comprehensive moral training of the individual, his technical and educational ability, his aims and his priorities are of primary importance. According to Islamic economics the means of acquiring wealth has the same importance as wealth itself. Dishonesty, abuse of trust and earning of wealth through fraudulent ways and means may perhaps increase the status of an individual but the society suffers because of it on the whole. This leads to an unjust and oppressive economic system.

Emotional Reactivity and Parenting in Families Experiencing Homelessness
Authors: Palmer Alyssa R , Foster Rachel A. , Distefano Rebecca , Masten Ann S.
Published: December 2020

Parents are key protective systems in the lives of children experiencing homelessness. Evidence suggests that parent emotional reactivity, expression, and regulation play a critical role in promoting adaptive parenting behaviors. Studies of emotional reactivity in parents utilize different methods, including self-report, observations, and physiological measures. However, these methods are rarely evaluated together, particularly among disadvantaged families. The present study examined how subjective (i.e., self-report), observed, and physiological measures of parent emotional reactivity relate to each other and to observed parenting behaviors in parent-child interaction tasks comprised of problem-solving and teaching tasks. Participants included fifty 4- to 7-year-old children and their caregivers staying in an emergency homeless shelter. Observed and subjective emotional reactivity were largely uncorrelated, except in the case of positive emotions during problem-solving tasks. Adaptive parenting behavior was related to lower scores on measures of subjective and observed negative emotions and higher observed scores for positive emotions during problem-solving tasks, as well as higher observed scores of positive emotions during teaching tasks. Physiological reactivity was not related to parenting behaviors. Results suggest that associations of emotional reactivity with parenting behavior depend on the context of the parent-child interaction and how emotional reactivity is measured.

Topological Stationarity and Precompactness of Probability Measures
Authors: Chou Yu-Lin
Published: December 2020

We prove the precompactness of a collection of Borel probability measures over an arbitrary metric space precisely under a new legitimate notion,which we term \textit{topological stationarity}, regulating the sequential behavior of Borel probability measures directly in terms of the open sets. Thus the important direct part of Prokhorov's theorem, which permeates the weak convergence theory, admits a new version with the original sole assumption --- tightness --- replaced by topological stationarity. Since, as will be justified, our new condition is not vacuous and is at least logically independent of tightness, our result deepens the understanding of the connection between precompactness of Borel probability measures and metric topologies.

Understanding co-worker relationships for promoting quality in care homes: protocol for a scoping review.
Authors: Haunch Kirsty Jayne , Spilsbury Karen
Published: December 2020

Background: The relationships care home staff have with their co-workers influence how they feel about their work and their job performance. In care homes collaborative co-worker relationships are consistently linked to positive outcomes and have been identified as a key feature of overcoming challenges posed by COVID-19. Research on co-worker relationships in care homes to date however, is largely descriptive and poses knowledge gaps relating to the process of how co-worker relationships occur, along with what influences them. This hinders the development of targeted, effective interventions. Co-worker relationships to promote quality in care homes therefore demands clarity of understanding. The aim of the scoping review is to understand what is known about co-worker relationships and its applicability to care homes. We will synthesise evidence about both co-worker relationships in broader health and social care settings, which will allow us to draw on theories and find interventions potentially useful for a care home context.Methods: A scoping review will be undertaken to understand co-worker relationships in health and social care settings and to determine the volume, scope and quality of research in this field. Our review methods will follow scoping review guidance We will then work with stakeholders to understand the relevance and applicability of the evidence base for people living and working in, or visiting, care homes and to establish a future research agenda.Conclusion: This review is important and timely. Findings will assist care home managers to consider how to promote and improve effective team working. It will also provide the foundations for informing future research aimed at improving co-worker relationships in care homes for the benefit of residents.

Construction and demolition waste management: A systematic review of risks to occupational and public health
Authors: Cook Ed , Velis Costas A
Published: December 2020

Despite the relatively benign material composition of construction and demolition waste (CDW), its mismanagement can result in considerable harm to human health, not only for the 200 million workers in the sector but also for those who live and work in proximity to construction and demolition activities. The population and workforce in low- and middle-income countries (LIMICs) is most at risk, and therefore we have focussed the attention of a systematic review of evidence that associates CDW with negative health and safety outcomes in those countries. We used PRISMA adapted guidelines to review more than 3,000 publications, narrowed to 49 key sources that provide data on hazard generation, exposure and/or risk. Subsequently, hazard-pathway-receptor scenarios/combinations were formulated, enabling indicative ranking and comparison of the relative harm caused to different groups. Though the evidential basis is sparse, there is a strong indication that the combustible fraction of CDW is mismanaged and disposed of by open burning in many LIMICs, including increasing quantities of plastics used in the sector. It is likely that the off-cuts/residues of these materials will be burned; the high chlorides-content PVC represents a serious risk when combusted in open, uncontrolled fires due to the release of dioxins and related substances. A long-standing and well-known hazard, asbestos continues to represent a threat to construction and demolition workers throughout the world. Despite being banned in most countries, exposure to asbestos particles is thought to claim the lives of a quarter of a million people every year. Though much of this risk is concentrated in high income countries where it has been used over more than half century, it is anticipated that more than half of all deaths from asbestos in the coming decades will take place in India where many asbestos products are still on the market, without any sign of prohibition. Overall highest comparatively risks are concentrated in LIMICs where the majority of workers are informal and highly vulnerable to hazard exposure. Combined with the sheer quantities of CDW, the risks can anticipated to persist – urgent attention to risk mitigation and control is needed.
Examination of Slip Behavior in Drywall Partition Walls
Authors: Hasani Hamed , Ryan Keri
Published: December 2020

Preliminary observations of Phase I testing of a subassembly of nonstructural drywall partition walls integrated with cross-laminated timber (CLT) rocking walls are reported. In this phase, the slip behavior of two straight drywall partition walls (without return walls) – one with conventional slip-track detailing and the other with telescoping detailing – was examined. These drywall partition walls were tested under a bidirectional loading protocol, which allowed for systematic evaluation of the effect of out of plane drift on the in-plane resistance of the drywall partition walls. Preliminary conclusions are that the telescoping detailing performs better since it eliminates damage to the framing, such as detachment of end studs that causes bending of the end studs and damage to the track. Moreover, the out-of-plane drift had a negligible effect on the in-plane resistance.

Published: December 2020

This paper discusses the two ways in which the concept of ‘self’has been discussed in the Indian tradition, and its relationship to suffering and healing. There being outer and inner self, denoted as antaratman and ahamkara respectively, is a common theme across Indian darshana/ philosophy, although the exact terms and few nuances differ amongst them. Ahamkara, or the outer self seems to have overlap with concepts like ego, and self from the modern psychology. Kumar’s model of Ahamkara (2005) has four main sub-components; Vaishisthya / individuality, Dwaita bhav / separation, Abhimana/ identification and Kartatva/ agency. The article describes the results from multiple studies to support such an Indian model of self, its expansion to include a componenet of ‘ripe-ego’, and ahamkara’s association with well-being in modern world. It then goes on to discuss the implications of this Indian model of self in the psychotherapy practice along with giving a case example and future directions for further research.

Negative affective biases are a key feature of anxiety and depression that upholdand promote negative mood. Bias modification, which aims to reduce these biases using computerized training, has shown mixed success but has not been tested atscale. Smartphones present an easily-accessible and affordable means of testingthe impact of bias modification on mood in the general population. The aim was todetermine whether bias modification delivered via smartphones can improve mood ina large sample.153,385 self-referring participants were randomly assigned to modification or shambias training on a dot-probe or visual-search task. The primary outcome of interestwas balance of mood, assessed on the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule.22,933 participants who provided at least two sets of mood ratings were included inanalyses.Results supported the prediction that visual-search modification would result inimproved mood (95% CI .10 to .82; p=.01, d=.05 after two mood ratings; 95% CI1.75 to 6.54; p=.001, d=.32 after six mood ratings), which was not seen for the shamversion. Dot-probe modification was not associated with mood improvements(p=.52).Visual-search, but not dot-probe, attention bias modification slightly but significantlyimproved mood in a large sample. Although this effect size is very small;waiting-lists, low responsiveness to available interventions, and, critically, theminimal cost/side-effects, suggest it might be worth considering an adjunct to currenttreatments.

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) has been validated in multiple countries and regions. However, previous validation studies in China have been limited by small sample size. The current research increased the sample size (n = 184 in the pilot study; n1 = 1315 and n2 = 268 in the formal study) to validate the SCM in mainland China in study 1. Supporting the SCM, 41 social groups were clustered into four quadrants based on warmth and competence dimensions. 35 of the 41 target groups (85.37%) receive ambivalent stereotype. Perceived warmth and competence were positively correlated (r = 0.585, p < 0.001). Status and competence were positively related (r = 0.81, p < 0.001), and competition and warmth were negatively related (r = −0.77, p < 0.001). In addition, 24 typical social groups were selected and a list of stereotype words for these groups was developed in study 2 (n1 = 48, n2 = 52). The implications of the emerging social groups and the applications of this stereotype word list are discussed.
A causal theory of error scores.

In Modern Test Theory, response variables are a function of a common latent variable that represents the measured attribute, and error variables that are unique to the response variables. While considerable thought goes into the interpretation of latent variables in these models (e.g., validity research), the interpretation of error variables is typically left implicit (e.g., describing error variables as residuals). Yet, many psychometric assumptions are essentially assumptions about error and thus being able to reason about psychometric models requires the ability to reason about errors. We propose a causal theory of error as a framework that enables researchers to reason about errors in terms of the data-generating mechanism. In this framework, the error variable reflects myriad causes that are specific to an item and, together with the latent variable, determine the scores on that item. We distinguish two types of item-specific causes: characteristic variables that differ between people (e.g., familiarity with words used in the item), and circumstance variables that vary over occasions in which the item is administered (e.g., a distracting noise). We show that different assumptions about these unique causes (1) imply different psychometric models, (2) have different implications for the chance experiment that makes these models probabilistic models, and (3) have different consequences for item bias, local homogeneity, and reliability coefficient α and the test-retest correlation. The ability to reason about the causes that produce error variance puts researchers in a better position to motivate modeling choices.

The Public-Private Debate: School Sector Differences in Academic Achievement from Grade 3 through Grade 9?
Authors: Larsen Sally A. , Forbes Alexander , Little Callie , Alaba Simon , Coventry William
Published: December 2020

School funding policies in many nations support considerable levels of public funding for private schools. Underpinned by neoliberal conceptions of marketization and consumer choice, the competition provided by private schools is considered to drive improvements in educational quality. If this quality assumption is correct, student achievement should be systematically higher in private schools, regardless of students’ social backgrounds. In this paper we examine school sector differences in student achievement on standardized literacy and numeracy tests in the Australian school system, one characterized by a high proportion of privately educated students. Externally administered assessments are used by governments to evaluate school quality. Results showed few school sector differences in test achievement in primary or secondary school, after controlling for socioeconomic status. Further, to assess the cumulative influence of private relative to public school attendance, we examined whether private school students displayed accelerated growth in reading and numeracy from Grade 3 to Grade 9. Sector differences were evident at Grade 3, but there were no differences in growth. We argue that already higher achieving students are more likely to attend private schools, but private school attendance does not alter academic trajectories, thus undermining conceptions of private schools adding value to student outcomes.
Between- and within-group variation in first and second language syntactic priming
Authors: Coumel Marion , Ushioda Ema , Messenger Katherine

We tested the predictions of the error-based implicit language learning model of syntactic priming in second (L2) and first (L1) language speakers. We compared L2 and L1 French speakers’ production of fronted/non-fronted temporal phrases and active/passive structures when primed with and without lexical overlap. We also measured the effect of attention and motivation on priming. Our findings are compatible with the general predictions of the model: we observed immediate and long-term priming, and lexical boost effects; individual differences in attention modulated priming strength. Moreover, the results suggest that priming with and without lexical overlap relies on different mechanisms. Nonetheless, some findings contradicted the model’s predictions: immediate abstract priming only arose for the fronting alternation; L2 speakers did not show consistently larger priming effects than L1 speakers; patterns of syntactic priming varied highly across syntactic alternations, even within individuals. Overall, the study highlights the importance of comparing priming of different structures within speakers.
