description: The purpose of this research is to further understanding of faculty-based academics’ views on what influences their understandings, behaviours and attitudes towards their continuing professional development. Informed by critical realist ontology, it is argued that it is necessary to explore academics’ understandings and accounts of professional development in their practice context in order to gain a better understanding of the complexity and differential practices that underlie professional development in academia. In doing so, the research addresses the current under-representation in the literature of the voices of faculty academics about what influences their approaches to professional development. The data collection was carried out during the academic year 2007-8, using a qualitative multi-case study approach. Methods included semi-structured, narrative interviews with academics, more structured interviews with ‘key informants’ and examination of relevant institutional documents. Findings from this research have enabled new themes and areas for reflection to emerge about the constraints and enablements academics perceive in respect of their professional development. In particular, themes such as issues of interpretation and meaning; concepts of professional status and academic values; misaligned initiatives and priorities; the influence of supportive networks; and emergent personal, individual concerns have surfaced. The conclusion is drawn that the significance of agency raises the importance of opening the debate and responding to the ‘voices from below’.

description: We calculate the renormalized vacuum energy density for a massless scalar field confined between two nearby parallel plates formed by ideal uncharged conductors, placed very close to the surface of a rotating spherical gravitational source with mass $M$, radius $R$ and momentum angular $J$, at the equatorial region. We consider that the source rotates slowly and that the gravitational field is weak. Corrections to the Casimir energy density induced by the gravitational field generated by this source are calculated up to $M/R^2$ order. The obtained results show us that there is an important modification in the Casimir energy only in this order of approximation, which depends on the surface gravity as well as on the rotation of the source. Thermal corrections to the Casimir energy found also are calculated in all these orders.

Subjects: A300 - Clinical medicine

description: Background. Little is known about the attitudes and behaviour of British general practitioners towards clinical guidelines.Aim. To investigate the beliefs, attitudes and behaviour of general practitioners towards clinical guidelines.Method. A postal questionnaire sent to all 326 general practitioner principals on the list of Lincolnshire Family Health Services Authority in 1994.Results. Of the 326 general practitioners sent questionnaires 213 (65.3%) replied. Most respondents (78.4%) had written, or participated in writing, practice-based guidelines. An even greater proportion (92.0%) had participated in clinical audit. The majority of respondents felt that guidelines were effective in improving care (68.5%). Members (and fellows) of the Royal College of General Practitioners had a more positive attitude towards guidelines. They were significantly more likely to have written in-house guidelines as were those who had participated in audit. There was no evidence of change in attitude after participating in an inter-practice audit.Conclusions. Practice-based guidelines are widely used in Lincolnshire. This use is largely sustained by positive beliefs about their effectiveness and benefits. Practitioners were ambivalent about the use of guidelines for setting performance-related pay and their effect on professional status. They were concerned that guidelines should be scientifically valid and valued local “ownership” of guidelines. The positive attitude of its members supports the college in its continuing role in developing guidelines in primary care. Incorporation into clinical audit may also be an effective way of disseminating systematic research-based guidelines.

description: In the framework of chiral perturbation theory with photons and leptons, the one-loop isospin breaking effects in $K_{\ell4}$ decays due to both the photonic contribution and the quark and meson mass differences are computed. A comparison with the isospin breaking corrections applied by recent high statistics $K_{e4}$ experiments is performed. The calculation can be used to correct the existing form factor measurements by isospin breaking effects that have not yet been taken into account in the experimental analysis. Based on the present work, possible forthcoming experiments on $K_{e4}$ decays could correct the isospin breaking effects in a more consistent way.

description: It becomes a significant challenge to predict customer behavior and retain an existing customer with the rapid growth of digitization which opens up more opportunities for customers to choose from subscription-based products and services model. Since the cost of acquiring a new customer is five-times higher than retaining an existing customer, henceforth, there is a need to address the customer churn problem which is a major threat across the Industries. Considering direct impact on revenues, companies identify the factors that increases the customer churn rate. Here, key objective of the paper is to develop a unique Customer churn prediction model which can help to predict potential customers who are most likely to churn and such early warnings can help to take corrective measures to retain them. Here, we evaluated and analyzed the performance of various tree-based machine learning approaches and algorithms and identified the Extreme Gradient Boosting XGBOOST Classifier as the most optimal solution to Customer churn problem. To deal with such real-world problems, Paper emphasize the Model interpretability which is an important metric to help customers to understand how Churn Prediction Model is making predictions. In order to improve Model explainability and transparency, paper proposed a novel approach to calculate Shapley values for possible combination of features to explain which features are the most important/relevant features for a model to become highly interpretable, transparent and explainable to potential customers.

description: A compilation of recently measured STAR data for elliptic flow ($v_{2}$) of $ϕ$ mesons in RHIC Beam Energy Scan program and comparison with a multiphase transport model (AMPT) has been presented. The experimental data at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ $\geq$ 19.6 GeV agrees well with string melting version of the AMPT model. The model includes partonic interactions and quark coalescence as a mechanism of hadronization. This indicates that there is a substantial contribution to collectivity from partonic interactions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ $\geq$ 19.6 GeV. The measured $ϕ$-meson $v_{2}$ at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 7.7 and 11.5 GeV are found to be smaller than those obtained from AMPT model without partonic interactions. This indicates negligible contribution of partonic collectivity to the observed $ϕ$-meson $v_{2}$ at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ $\leq$ 11.5 GeV.

description: In this paper we review different aspects of the dynamical Casimir- Polder potential between a neutral atom and a perfectly conducting plate under nonequilibrium conditions. In order to calculate the time evolution of the atom-wall Casimir-Polder potential, we solve the Heisenberg equations describing the dynamics of the coupled system using an iterative technique. Different nonequilibrium initial states are considered, such as bare and partially dressed states. The partially dressed states considered are obtained by a sudden change of a physical parameter of the atom or of its position relative to the conducting plate. Experimental feasibility of detecting the considered dynamical effects is also discussed.

Subjects: L400 - Social policy

description: The thesis evaluates the impact the inclusion of Prevent had on CONTEST, the UK’s counter-terrorism strategy, both in terms of innovative and tension which arose throughout the three stages of the policy process: its formation, implementation and social impacts. Many of the tensions identified are not unique to Prevent and appear to be inherent in prevention and policing policies more generally. The thesis relies on qualitative interviews with national policy makers, and local professionals in a case study area in the North of England, as well as focus groups with members of Muslim communities in the same case study area. Three broad areas of tensions were identified. The first policy tensions centred on the debate about how to prevent violent extremism, communication of the strategy and the merits of excluding community cohesion as a means of tackling extremism per se. The majority of the national policy makers, including senior police officers and local professionals, agreed that contrary to the Prevent Review 2011, community cohesion should remain an integral part of Prevent. Secondly, there are organizational tensions. These tensions mainly relate to inter- and intra-organizational issues such as funding, information-sharing and evaluation. One of the main areas of conflict identified was the relationship between the national and local authorities. Thirdly, the thesis identified tensions relating to Prevent’s impact on the local community. This thesis suggests that Prevent had little influence, and that most perceptions about counter-terrorism and Prevent were shaped by negative political and media discourse about Islam and British Muslim communities. This has led to disengagement amongst the Muslim communities in the case study area with Prevent and local authorities in general, the limiting of freedom of expression through external social control, and the inability/unwillingness of these communities to tackle such extremism as might exist in their midst.

description: Three-nucleon forces (3NFs), and in particular terms of the Fujita-Miyazawa type, strongly influence the structure of neutron-rich exotic isotopes. Ab-initio calculations have shown that chiral two- and three-nucleon interactions correctly reproduce binding energy systematics and neutron driplines of oxygen and nearby isotopes. Exploiting the novel self-consistent Gorkov-Green's function approach, we present the first investigation of Ar, K, Ca, Sc and Ti isotopic chains. Leading chiral 3N interactions are mandatory to reproduce the trend of binding energies throughout these chains and to obtain a good description of two-neutron separation energies. At the same time, nuclei in this mass region are systematically overbound by about 40 MeV and the $N=20$ magic gap is significantly overestimated. We conclude that ab-initio many-body calculations of mid-mass isotopic chains challenge modern theories of elementary nuclear interactions.

description: The present paper analyses and presents several improvements to the algorithm for finding the $(a,b)$-pairs of integers used in the $k$-ary reduction of the right-shift $k$-ary integer GCD algorithm. While the worst-case complexity of Weber's "Accelerated integer GCD algorithm" is $\cOł(\log_ϕ(k)^2\r)$, we show that the worst-case number of iterations of the while loop is exactly $\tfrac 12 ł\lfloor \log_ϕ(k)\r\rfloor$, where $ϕ:= \tfrac 12 ł(1+\sqrt{5}\r)$.\par We suggest improvements on the average complexity of the latter algorithm and also present two new faster residual algorithms: the sequential and the parallel one. A lower bound on the probability of avoiding the while loop in our parallel residual algorithm is also given.

description: We present a theory of the cavity quantum electrodynamics of the graphene cyclotron resonance. By employing a canonical transformation, we derive an effective Hamiltonian for the system comprised of two neighboring Landau levels dressed by the cavity electromagnetic field (integer quantum Hall polaritons). This generalized Dicke Hamiltonian, which contains terms that are quadratic in the electromagnetic field and respects gauge invariance, is then used to calculate thermodynamic properties of the quantum Hall polariton system. Finally, we demonstrate that the generalized Dicke description fails when the graphene sheet is heavily doped, i.e. when the Landau level spectrum of 2D massless Dirac fermions is approximately harmonic. In this case we `integrate out' the Landau levels in valence band and obtain an effective Hamiltonian for the entire stack of Landau levels in conduction band, as dressed by strong light-matter interactions.

description: This thesis develops recent work on transsexual/gender embodiment that has emerged in the field of transgender studies. The empirical study has been influenced by poststructuralist theory and feminist phenomenology and focuses on the constructed personal meanings of embodiment and bodily aesthetics foor transpeople. furthermore, the thesis explores how trans embodiment is constructed within the medicolegal system and transgender politics in the UK. This study reviews the medical and legal work on transsexuality, which forms the basis of being recognised in law as either (trans) men or (trans) women and how medical theories and legal prescriptions have been adapted through time on the basis of trans bodily aesthetics. Transmen and transwomen's personal bodily aesthetics are discursively and materially constructed and recognised through body images of the phenomenological, sexual and social body, which all provide for understandings surrounding their gender identities. Moreover, this thesis investigates how embodiment and bodily aesthetics are framed in three transgender community organisations (T-COs). The epistemological approach of phenomenology in this thesis allows for detailed descriptions surrounding the diverse bodily practices of the trans participants, and their experiences with the medicolegal system and the T-COs.The study employed semi-structured interviews and photograph elicitation methods with fourteen transwomen, eight transmen and one person who had had male to female SRS but had decided to live as bi-gendered. The age range of the sample ranged from twenty two to sixty years old, who were at different stages of transition, and who all recognise themselves as a different gender to that which was given at birth. the thesis identifies diverse embodied practices by transpeople, which all help constitute a commitment to a specific gender identity. These findings challenge the traditional medical models, which constitutes the true transsexual as always requiring a normative bodily aesthetic. I consider the processes of attaining a maculine or feminine body and how imaginatively anticipated bodies are actualised through technology. this thesis argues that transmen and transwomen differ in their engagement with the technology and discourses of embodiment, within transgender politics and within the medicolegal system. Furthermore, it suggests that bodily aesthetics are important aspects of lived experience in relation to transpeople's phenomenological, sexual and social selves.

description: This thesis is a study of the colony of Italian anarchists who found refuge in London in the years between the Paris Commune and the outbreak of the First World War. The first chapter is an introduction to the sources and to the main problems analysed. The second chapter reconstructs the settlement of the Italian anarchists in London and their relationship with the colony of Italian emigrants. Chapter three deals with the activities that the Italian anarchists organised in London, such as demonstrations, conferences, and meetings. It likewise examines the ideological differences that characterised the two main groups in which the anarchists were divided: organisationalists and anti-organisationalists.Italian authorities were extremely concerned about the danger represented by the anarchists. The fourth chapter of the thesis provides a detailed investigation of the surveillance of the anarchists that the Italian embassy and the Italian Minster of Interior organised in London by using spies and informers. At the same time, it describes the contradictory attitude held by British police forces toward political refugees. The following two chapters are dedicated to the analysis of the main instruments of propaganda used by the Italian anarchists: chapter five reviews the newspapers they published in those years, and chapter six reconstructs social and political activities that were organised in their clubs.Chapter seven examines the impact that the outbreak of First World Word had on the anarchist movement, particularly in dividing it between interventionists and anti-interventionists; a split that destroyed the network of international solidarity that had been hitherto the core of the experience of political exile. Chapter eight summarises the main arguments of the dissertation.

description: High-resolution spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study the dynamical structure of pulsating stars atmosphere. We aim at comparing the line asymmetry and velocity of the two delta Sct stars rho Pup and DX Cet with previous spectroscopic data obtained on classical Cepheids and beta Cep stars. We obtained, analysed and discuss HARPS high-resolution spectra of rho Pup and DX Cet. We derived the same physical quantities as used in previous studies, which are the first-moment radial velocities and the bi-Gaussian spectral line asymmetries. The identification of f=7.098 (1/d) as a fundamental radial mode and the very accurate Hipparcos parallax promote rho Pup as the best standard candle to test the period-luminosity relations of delta Sct stars. The action of small-amplitude nonradial modes can be seen as well-defined cycle-to-cycle variations in the radial velocity measurements of rho Pup. Using the spectral-line asymmetry method, we also found the centre-of-mass velocities of rho Pup and DX Cet, V_gamma = 47.49 +/- 0.07 km/s and V_gamma = 25.75 +/- 0.06 km/s, respectively. By comparing our results with previous HARPS observations of classical Cepheids and beta Cep stars, we confirm the linear relation between the atmospheric velocity gradient and the amplitude of the radial velocity curve, but only for amplitudes larger than 22.5 km/s. For lower values of the velocity amplitude (i.e., < 22.5 km/s), our data on rho Pup seem to indicate that the velocity gradient is null, but this result needs to be confirmed with additional data. We derived the Baade-Wesselink projection factor p = 1.36 +/- 0.02 for rho Pup and p = 1.39 +/- 0.02 for DX Cet. We successfully extended the period-projection factor relation from classical Cepheids to delta Scuti stars.

Modelling university educational development units
Creators: name: Beckton, Julian
Publisher: name: University of Lincoln
Year: 2023
Subjects: X342 - Academic studies in higher education

description: This thesis explores the precarious position of educational development units (EDUs) in the modern university. EDUs face the challenge of bringing about government inspired change, particularly, though not exclusively, with regard to exploiting new technologies in the practice of professionals trained to be critical of external demands, and whose practice is informed more by their disciplines than by their employers, their universities. The thesis therefore explores, using five case studies of EDUs, how those working in such units see the ways to meet the challenge of change, conceptualise the purpose of the university, the practice of university teaching, and the introduction of new technologies into the curriculum with a view to establishing a narrative of educational development from those working in the field. Using data from interviews and documents, the case studies suggest that in order to survive, EDUs do draw largely on their own institutions for their narrative, with the result that each EDU tends to reflect the focus of its own university, rather than draw inspiration from an external common view of universities. Rather than a factory based model of change based on high levels of power and resources, EDUs appear to have more in common with the pre-industrial household, in that they offer small, highly specialised services to relatively small groups of people, where necessary employing additional faculty based colleagues to pursue specific projects. This, along with the relationship building in which EDUs engage, enables units to break down barriers between disciplines through the sharing of practice between colleagues in different faculties. Thus the EDU, despite its small size, plays an important role in unifying the university, and in building an institutional brand.

description: We investigate the lepton flavor violation decays of vector mesons in the scenario of the unparticle physics by considering the constraint from $μ-e$ conversion. In unparticle physics, the predictions of LFV decays of vector mesons depend strongly on the scale dimension $d_{\mathcal{U}}$. The predictions of LFV decays of vector mesons can reach the detective sensitivity in experiment in region of $3\le d_{\mathcal{U}}\le 4$, while the prediction of $μ-e$ conversion rate can meet the experimental upper limit. For the searching of the lepton flavor violation processes of charged lepton sector in experiment, the process $Υ\rightarrow eμ$ may be a promising one to be observed.

description: In recent past, experiments and simulations have suggested that apart from the solvent friction, friction arising from the protein itself plays an important role in protein folding by affecting the intra-chain loop formation dynamics. This friction is termed as internal friction in the literature. Using a flexible Gaussian chain with internal friction we analyze the intra- chain reconfiguration and loop formation times for all three topology classes namely end-to- end, end-to-interior and interior-to-interior. In a nutshell, bypassing expensive simulations we show how simple models like that of Rouse and Zimm can support the single molecule experiment and computer simulation results on intra-chain diffusion coefficients, looping time and even can predict the effects of tail length on the looping time.

description: Homeopathic medicine remains widely used in Britain and around the world. The evidence on which homeopaths base decisions about which homeopathic medicines to prescribe comes largely from homeopathic pathogenetic trials ( HPTs).Such trials aim to produce pathogenetic effects in healthy participants by administering repeated doses of a homeopathic medicine. A previous systematic review of the quality of all such trials performed between 1945 and 1995 found that they were generally of poor quality.This review looked at all HPTs’ performed up to 2009 and found that a small percentage of the total (3%) of such trials were of high quality. 15 met rigorous inclusion criteria and had methods which were likely to keep bias to a minimum. Trials used the number and pattern of symptoms occurring in participants as outcomes measures; these were recorded by participants in structured and unstructured diaries and questionnaires. An analysis of the outcomes of such trials failed to find evidence that Homeopathic medicines produce pathogenetic effects in healthy adults any different to those which occur in participants taking identical placebo medicines.The trials which met the inclusion criteria were generally of high methodological quality. However, none of them used procedures to screen or select participants who were likely to be sensitive to the particular medicine used in the trial. It is recommended that future trials adopt such a screening process.

We use the geometry of the measured set of visibilities to project down to pure temperature modes on the sky, serving as a significant compression, and an effective first filter of polarised contaminants. We use the m-mode formalism with the Karhunen-Loeve transform to give a highly efficient method for foreground cleaning, and demonstrate its success in cleaning realistic polarised skies observed with an instrument suffering from substantial off axis polarisation leakage. We develop an optimal quadratic estimator in the m-mode formalism, which can be efficiently calculated using a Monte-Carlo technique. This is used to assess the implications of foreground removal for power spectrum constraints where we find that our method can clean foregrounds well below the foreground wedge, rendering only scales $k_\parallel < 0.02 h \,\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ inaccessible. As this approach assumes perfect knowledge of the telescope, we perform a conservative test of how essential this is by simulating and analysing datasets with deviations about our assumed telescope. Assuming no other techniques to mitigate bias are applied, we recover unbiased power spectra when the per-feed beam width to be measured to 0.1%, and amplifier gains to be known to 1% within each minute. Finally, as an example application, we extend our forecasts to a wideband 400-800 MHz cosmological observation and consider the implications for probing dark energy, finding a medium-sized cylinder telescope improves the DETF Figure of Merit by around 70% over Planck and Stage II experiments alone.

Despite attempts to appoint Williamson as the Director of the National Museum, the post had been awarded on a political basis. However, there was still a perceived need for the further appointment of an archaeological specialist, in particular to control the competing interests of foreign missions.

description: Electric field dependent capacitance and dielectric loss in poly(3-hexylthiophene) are measured by precision capacitance bridge. Carrier mobility and density are estimated from fits to current-voltage and capacitance data. The capacitance varies largely at lower frequency, and it decreases at higher electric fields. The negative capacitance at low frequency and high field is due to the negative phase angle between the dipole field and the ac signal. The intrinsic carrier density is calculated from fits to the Mott-Schottky equation, and this is consistent with I-V data analysis. At higher frequency, the carriers do not follow the ac signal and their density drops; and the flatband potential increases mainly due to the build-in potentials within ordered and amorphous regions in the sample.

description: This paper addresses the problem of transferring useful knowledge from a source network to predict node labels in a newly formed target network. While existing transfer learning research has primarily focused on vector-based data, in which the instances are assumed to be independent and identically distributed, how to effectively transfer knowledge across different information networks has not been well studied, mainly because networks may have their distinct node features and link relationships between nodes. In this paper, we propose a new transfer learning algorithm that attempts to transfer common latent structure features across the source and target networks. The proposed algorithm discovers these latent features by constructing label propagation matrices in the source and target networks, and mapping them into a shared latent feature space. The latent features capture common structure patterns shared by two networks, and serve as domain-independent features to be transferred between networks. Together with domain-dependent node features, we thereafter propose an iterative classification algorithm that leverages label correlations to predict node labels in the target network. Experiments on real-world networks demonstrate that our proposed algorithm can successfully achieve knowledge transfer between networks to help improve the accuracy of classifying nodes in the target network.

description: In recent years, many automobiles have been equipped with cameras, which have accumulated an enormous amount of video footage of driving scenes. Autonomous driving demands the highest level of safety, for which even unimaginably rare driving scenes have to be collected in training data to improve the recognition accuracy for specific scenes. However, it is prohibitively costly to find very few specific scenes from an enormous amount of videos. In this article, we show that proper video-to-video distances can be defined by focusing on ego-vehicle actions. It is well known that existing methods based on supervised learning cannot handle videos that do not fall into predefined classes, though they work well in defining video-to-video distances in the embedding space between labeled videos. To tackle this problem, we propose a method based on semi-supervised contrastive learning. We consider two related but distinct contrastive learning: standard graph contrastive learning and our proposed SOIA-based contrastive learning. We observe that the latter approach can provide more sensible video-to-video distances between unlabeled videos. Next, the effectiveness of our method is quantified by evaluating the classification performance of the ego-vehicle action recognition using HDD dataset, which shows that our method including unlabeled data in training significantly outperforms the existing methods using only labeled data in training.

description: Geographic tongue (GT) is a benign condition affecting approximately 2% of the population, whereby the papillae covering the upper part of the tongue are lost due to a slowly expanding inflammation. The resultant dynamical appearance of the tongue has striking similarities with well known phenomena observed in excitable media, such as forest fires, cardiac dynamics and chemically-driven reaction-diffusion systems. Here we explore the dynamics associated with GT from a dynamical systems perspective, utilizing cellular automata simulations. We emphasize similarities with other excitable systems as well as unique features observed in GT. Our results shed light on the evolution of the inflammation and contribute to the classification of the severity of the condition, based on the characteristic patterns observed in GT patients.
