Insider perspectives on merit selection: Investigating principals’ attitudes to selecting school leaders on the basis of merit
Creators: name: Steed, Kevin

subject: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Despite the existence of a broad corpus of research literature pertaining to the merit selection of school principals, little is known about their perception of, and approach to, the inschool merit selection process they lead when assembling their senior and middle-level school leadership cadres. Further, given that scholars readily acknowledge the existence of a definitive link between educational leadership, school culture and enhanced student learning outcomes, quality governance at multiple levels within schools is paramount.
This study therefore investigated the extent to which principals in New South Wales Department of Education (NSWDE) schools adhered to the central tenets of meritocratic theory founded upon egalitarianism, objectivity, and fairness, when selecting senior and middle level school leaders – specifically deputy principals, assistant principals (primary schools) and headteachers (secondary schools). An extensive examination of research literature relating to several interrelated areas, namely – the principal’s understanding of the meritocratic ideal, their disposition to in-school merit selection processes, and the extent to which that selection practice accorded with meritocratic theory, revealed a paucity of research in those areas and the need for further empirical study.
A mixed methods strategy was utilised in this investigation to examine the disposition of NSWDE principals to the meritocratic ideal and the extent of its influence on their selection of school leaders. A three-phase research structure facilitated the generation of qualitative and quantitative data drawn from semi-structured interviews, an online survey, and analyses of published NSWDE teacher promotion statistics. Further, NVivo and SPSS data analysis software provided an empirical assessment of the degree to which the in-school merit selection practices of participant principals were guided by meritocratic values.
Findings revealed that the principals (and their panels) in this study found it difficult to exclude non-merit variables (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity, implicit bias, and the appeal of known, internal candidates) from their merit selection practices. Data also indicated high levels of subjectivity and the influence of implicit bias in their selection of senior and middle-level school leaders despite the notion of merit being embraced as one of the most enduring sociocultural tropes of our time.
Recommendations are made regarding further research possibilities, especially about the development of merit-selection training models designed to enhance principals’ levels of objectivity and bias awareness when undertaking the selection of school leaders. A thorough review of NSWDE documentation relating to the policies and practices of principal-led school leadership recruitment is also advocated.

description: Social stress arises from one’s inability to cope with their social environment. Understanding how social stress affects our brains is essential, as long-term exposure will lead to various physiological and mental illnesses. This thesis investigates the impact of social stress on Spexin neuron and its regulatory system in male Nile tilapia. Tilapia is a suitable model to study social interaction due to its clear, distinct social hierarchy. We found that the gene expression of Spexin was altered during social defeat stress. The current study demonstrated that Spexin plays a role in the mechanism underlying social defeat stress.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Background: the quality of pediatric emergency triage is dependent on current professional knowledge; perception of health care workers, on the level of confidence of health care workers (HCWs), the availability of essential medicines, supplies, equipment's and on the presence and adherence of HCWs to evidence based clinical practice guidelines. Therefore, the objective of this study is to assess the quality of pediatric emergency triage and its associated factors in selected hospitals of Wolaita zone 2017. Methodology: descriptive cross-sectional facility based study design was used. The sampling procedure of the study was done by using purposive sampling technique. The study period was from Dec. 2016 to June 2017 and data collected from March to April 2017GC. 175 HCWs responded to the questionnaire from the total of 178. The tools mainly consisted of soscio-demographics of HCWs, knowledge and perception of HCWs, factors associated with triage quality and observation check lists focusing on availability of essentials of pediatric emergency triage. The data was collected by using self-administered questionnaire on the health care workers and observation check list. The descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage and SD was used for analysis as appropriate. The findings from observation checklists were summarized in the form of text and tables. Multivariate analysis was used to declare statistical. Results: this study indicated 41.7 % not correctly defined triage, 81.1 did not know triage duration, 85.72% not identified all triage places and 64% did not categorize child with urgent signs. 32 % of HCWs not interested when assigned in pediatric emergencies and 77 % of HCWs were not confident when allocated in the unit. None of the hospitals have guidelines, protocols, standards, sick child flow charts, treatment algorithms and no glucometer and IO needle. All the three hospitals were lacking oxygen cylinder. This study result has shown that level of qualification, training experience and reading guidelines were factors affecting triage quality Conclusion: the overall quality of pediatric emergency triage service was poor. It was not as recommended in all three hospitals assessed and needs an improvement. Key words: quality, pediatrics, emergency, triage, assessmen

Incorporating Pass-Phrase Dependent Background Models for Text-Dependent Speaker Verification
Creators: name: Sarkar, A. K.
name: Tan, Zheng-Hua
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this paper, we propose pass-phrase dependent background models (PBMs) for text-dependent (TD) speaker verification (SV) to integrate the pass-phrase identification process into the conventional TD-SV system, where a PBM is derived from a text-independent background model through adaptation using the utterances of a particular pass-phrase. During training, pass-phrase specific target speaker models are derived from the particular PBM using the training data for the respective target model. While testing, the best PBM is first selected for the test utterance in the maximum likelihood (ML) sense and the selected PBM is then used for the log likelihood ratio (LLR) calculation with respect to the claimant model. The proposed method incorporates the pass-phrase identification step in the LLR calculation, which is not considered in conventional standalone TD-SV systems. The performance of the proposed method is compared to conventional text-independent background model based TD-SV systems using either Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-universal background model (UBM) or Hidden Markov model (HMM)-UBM or i-vector paradigms. In addition, we consider two approaches to build PBMs: speaker-independent and speaker-dependent. We show that the proposed method significantly reduces the error rates of text-dependent speaker verification for the non-target types: target-wrong and imposter-wrong while it maintains comparable TD-SV performance when imposters speak a correct utterance with respect to the conventional system. Experiments are conducted on the RedDots challenge and the RSR2015 databases that consist of short utterances.

Investigating the relationship between generational identity and autobiographical memory in Bangladeshi older adults: A focus on the self-defining period

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2021
Subjects: Other psychology not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis investigated autobiographical memories (AMs) of Bangladeshi older adults (55 to 90 years old), who attained adulthood during the 1960s Bengali nationalist movement and the 1971 Bangladesh war of independence. The participants recalled a disproportionately large number of memories from the period when they were 10 to 29 years old, which largely overlapped with the years of war and political struggles. The participants who joined the war exhibited stronger generational identity and recalled more memories from the war period compared to those who did not join the war. We suggest that as the war was self-defining for the entire Bangladeshi society, our participants showed preferential recall of AMs from this period.

description: Various theories beyond the Standard Model predict new particles with masses in the sub-eV range with very weak couplings to ordinary matter which can possess spin-dependent couplings to electrons and nucleons. Present laboratory constraints on exotic spin-dependent interactions with pseudoscalar and axial couplings for exchange boson masses between meV and eV are very poor compared to constraints on spin-independent interactions in the same mass range arising from spin-0 and spin-1 boson exchange. It is therefore interesting to analyze in a general way how one can use the strong experimental bounds on spin-independent interactions to also constrain spin-dependent interactions by considering higher-order exchange processes. The exchange of a pair of bosons between two fermions with spin-dependent couplings will possess contributions which flip spins twice and thereby generate a polarization-independent interaction energy which can add coherently between two unpolarized objects. In this paper we derive the dominant long-range contributions to the interaction energy between two nonrelativistic spin-1/2 Dirac fermions from double exchange of spin-0 and spin-1 bosons proportional to couplings of the form $g_P^{4}$, $g_S^{2}g_P^{2}$, and $g_V^{2}g_A^{2}$. Our results for $g_P^{4}$ are in agreement with previous calculations that have appeared in the literature. We demonstrate the usefulness of this analysis to constrain spin-dependent couplings by presenting the results of a reanalysis of data from a short-range gravity experiment to derive an improved constraint on $(g^N_{P})^2$, the pseudoscalar coupling for nucleons, in the range between $40$ and $200~μ$m of about a factor of 5 compared to previous limits. The spin-independent contribution from 2-boson exchange with axial-vector couplings requires special treatment and will be explored in another paper.

description: Sleep disturbance and fatigue are debilitating problems after acquired brain injury (ABI). This thesis examined in a randomised-controlled trial, the efficacy of an adapted cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT-SF) intervention to address these problems, compared with a health education control. Findings suggested that CBT-SF resulted in greater improvements in sleep and fatigue symptoms then health education until 2-months post-treatment. Higher baseline symptoms and mechanism of ABI also predicted CBT-SF response, and whether treatment was completed in-person or via telehealth did not impact outcomes. Overall, this research highlights CBT-SF as a promising treatment for improving quality of life for people with ABI.

Assessment of Nurses' Knowledge, Attitudes and Practice of Non- Pharmacological Pain Management Therapies and Techniques, in West Gojjam Zone, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia, 2014
Creators: name: Kerie, Sitotaw
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Background: Non-pharmacological methods have unique advantages to relieving pain that medications do not have such as giving the patients a more active role in managing their pain. There are many types of non-pharmacological methods that vary amongst heat/cold, distraction, massage and relaxation. Nurses must have a great knowledge of non pharmacological methods to practice them effectively. In addition, nurses' own attitudes greatly affect the way they treat a patient's pain. Objective: To assess nurses' knowledge, attitudes and practice of non-pharmacological pain management therapies and techniques when caring for patients in selected governmental health care settings in West Gojjam zone, Amhara regional state, Ethiopia. Method: Cross-sectional study design was used. Data was collected from March 2014 to April 2014 by using a structured open and closed ended questionnaire. Source population of the study was nurses who work at governmental health care institutions in West Gojjam. In this study, sample size was 583 nurses from randomly selected woredas. To assess the relationship of factors and non-pharmacological pain management odds ratio, bivariate and multivariate regression analysis were performed. Results: The results show non pharmacologic pain management practices were at an unsatisfactory level. The most barriers to applied non-pharmacological pain management were lack of time, patient unwieldiness and lack of equipment. There was a positive relationship between age, educational level, years of experience, and attendance on training courses with practice and positive relationship between knowledge and attitude with practice of the nursing staff regarding non-pharmacological methods. Conclusion: In this cross-sectional study, socio demographic factors, knowledge, attitude contributing to nurses' non-pharmacological practice were analyzed. , socio demographic factors, knowledge and attitude were found significantly associated with nurses' practice. Recommendation: This study recommended that efforts to improve application of non drug interventions should focus on innovative educational strategies, using problem solving to secure support, and development and testing of new delivery methods that require less time from busy staff nurses. Key words: pain, non-pharmacological, nurses, knowledge, attitude, practice

description: We characterize the cone of GL-equivariant Betti tables of Cohen-Macaulay modules of codimension 1, up to rational multiple, over the coordinate ring of square matrices. This result serves as the base case for `Boij-Söderberg theory for Grassmannians', with the goal of characterizing the cones of GL_k-equivariant Betti tables of modules over the coordinate ring of k x n matrices, and, dually, cohomology tables of vector bundles on the Grassmannian Gr(k, C^n). The proof uses Hall's Theorem on perfect matchings in bipartite graphs to compute the extremal rays of the cone, and constructs the corresponding equivariant free resolutions by applying Weyman's geometric technique to certain graded pure complexes of Eisenbud-Fløystad-Weyman.

Subjects: Other psychology not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis employed a mixed methods approach aiming to understand the relationship between perceived family resilience and adolescent mental health symptomatology (depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms) among Malaysian families. Parent-teenager dyads were surveyed for the first phase, followed by interviews with selected teenagers who reported either higher or lower perceived family resilience. It was identified that family connection and family obligation were important protective factors in the family resilience process, in the Malaysian context. Through a synthesis of the findings, recommendations for including the local cultural context in understanding family resilience was proposed for Malaysian family researchers and clinical practitioners.

description: Accurate quantum gates are basic elements for building quantum computers. There has been great interest in designing quantum logic gates by using blockade effect of Rydberg atoms recently. The fidelity and operation speed of these gates, however, are fundamentally limited by an intrinsic blockade error. Here we propose a type of quantum gates, which are based on Rydberg blockade effect, yet free from any blockade error. In contrast to the "blocking" method in previous schemes, we use Rydberg energy shift to realize a rational generalized Rabi frequency so that a $π$ phase for one input state of the gate emerges. This leads to an accurate Rydberg quantum logic gate that can operate on a 0.1-$μs$ timescale or faster because it works by a Rabi frequency which is comparable to the blockade shift.

Long-term Romantic Relationships and Death-related Anxiety: Novel Insight into the Terror Management Role of Attachment-based Felt Security

Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the Department of Psychology and Counselling, School of Psychology and Public Health, La Trobe University, Victoria, Australia.

According to terror management theory, the uniquely human awareness of mortality is managed by maintaining faith in cultural worldviews, self-esteem, and close relationships. Of these three buffers, close relationships have been comparatively understudied, and their worth as a functionally independent, third source of security has been questioned. The aim of the present research was to thoroughly examine felt security’s mechanism of action to reconcile this issue. The present program of research presents a systematic review and four empirical studies. Results from the systematic review found no conclusive evidence supporting felt security’s unique mediating role. Consequently, four empirical studies examined whether felt security adequately buffers mortality concerns on its own, or in combination with relational self-esteem and/or worldview defence. The first two studies experimentally manipulated death awareness followed by a delay task, as is typical of this type of research. Of the three tested mediators, only relational self-esteem striving significantly mediated the buffering effect of romantic intimacy. The third study only measured felt security after both death awareness and delay length manipulations, with no explicit measure of self-esteem striving that would overshadow felt security’s involvement. Under this circumstance, felt security significantly mediated the positive association between reminders of death and intimacy striving. Study four further probed felt security’s buffering role and found that it significantly mediated the negative association between romantic intimacy and chronic death anxiety. In concluding, this novel research found partial evidence that felt security provides adequate relief consistent with the functional independence claim. Nevertheless, it would appear as though romantic partners crippled by mortality concerns would benefit more from supporting each-other through positive value assignments that bolster self-esteem than by satisfying attachment needs that increase felt security. Keywords: terror management theory, attachment-based felt security, self-esteem, cultural worldviews, close relationships, romantic intimacy.

description: We address the performance of a coin-biased quantum walk as a generator for non-classical position states of the walker. We exploit a phenomenon of coherent localisation in the position space --- resulting from the choice of small values of the coin parameter and assisted by post-selection --- to engineer large-size coherent superpositions of distinguishable position states of the walker. The protocol that we design appears to be remarkably robust against both the actual value taken by the coin parameter and strong dephasing-like noise acting on the spatial degree of freedom. We finally illustrate a possible linear-optics implementation of our proposal, suitable for both bulk and integrated-optics platforms.

description: In spin-based quantum information processing devices, the presence of control and detection circuitry can change the local environment of a spin by introducing strain and electric fields, altering its resonant frequencies. These resonance shifts can be large compared to intrinsic spin line-widths and it is therefore important to study, understand and model such effects in order to better predict device performance. Here we investigate a sample of bismuth donor spins implanted in a silicon chip, on top of which a superconducting aluminium micro-resonator has been fabricated. The on-chip resonator provides two functions: first, it produces local strain in the silicon due to the larger thermal contraction of the aluminium, and second, it enables sensitive electron spin resonance spectroscopy of donors close to the surface that experience this strain. Through finite-element strain simulations we are able to reconstruct key features of our experiments, including the electron spin resonance spectra. Our results are consistent with a recently discovered mechanism for producing shifts of the hyperfine interaction for donors in silicon, which is linear with the hydrostatic component of an applied strain.

Gomphonema pseudopusillum

description: Gomphonema cf. pseudopusillum Reichardt (Figs 107–118)
Valves heteropolar, clavate, gibbous and biconstricted. Headpole is cuneate, basal part is elongately cuneate, gradually narrowing to the footpole, usually with almost straight margins. Apical inflations are slightly wider than the mid-inflation or the same breadth. Marginal undulations are evident. Length: 20.0–31.3 μm, breadth: 4.7–6.0 μm. Striae parallel to slightly radiate in the center, more strongly radiate at the footpole, 11–12 in 10 μm. Axial area distinct, narrow. Central area small, one striae in central part is shorter. Stigma isolated and distinct.
 Observations: —This population is characterized by a proportionately more slender shape than G. pseudopusillum. We believe that the specimens identified as G. pseudopusillum in Metzeltin et al. (2009: pl. 165, figs 11–16) actually belong to the taxon shown here. More research is needed to decide whether to separate these populations out into a separate species.

Infant Feeding Practice and Associated Factors Among Hiv Positive Mothers Attending Art Service in Governmental Health Institutions Of Bahir Dar Town, 2017
Creators: name: Tadesse, Fikir

description: Background: Infant feeding practice is the important modifiable factor influencing the health of children born from HIV-positive mothers. While breastfeeding carries significant health benefits to infants and young children, HIV can be transmitted during breastfeeding from an HIV- infected mother to her infant. Breastfeeding may thus be responsible for 1/3 -1/2 of HIV infections in infants in African settings. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess infant feeding practice and associated factor among HIV positive mothers attending ART service in governmental health institutions of Bahir dar city. Methods: Institution based cross- sectional study was conducted in 4 health institutions which provides ART service in Bahir dar town from October to June, 2017. A total of 230 mother- infant pairs attending ART clinics were selected by systematic random sampling. The data were coded, entered and stored in to the computer using Epi Data version 3.1, then cleaned and analyzed by SPSS software version 20. Bivariate and multivariate models were run to assess any relationship between independent variable and outcome variable. Result: The majority 173(75.2%) practiced exclusive breast feeding up to six months of age. 13.9% and 10.9% of mothers practiced exclusive replacement feeding and mixed feeding, respectively. In multivariable logistic regressions, mothers counseled about the recommended infant feeding options during delivery (AOR (95%CI):3.699(1.00-13.41), ever given any food or fluid before first breast milk (AOR (95%CI):0.015(0.001-0.188) and knowledge on PMTCT and the recommended infant feeding options (AOR (95%CI):0.189(0.042-0.855) were significantly associated with infant feeding practice. Conclusion and Recommendation: The study revealed that majority mothers experienced exclusive breast feeding (75.2%). Mothers ever given any food/fluid before first breast milk, counseled the recommended feeding options during delivery and knowledge on PMTCT and the recommended infant feeding options were independent predictors of infant feeding practice. Adequate information should be provided to HIV positive mothers to select the best feeding options for their child. Key words: infant feeding practice, HIV positive mothers, and Bahirdar.
Longest interval between zeros of the tied-down random walk, the Brownian bridge and related renewal processes

description: The probability distribution of the longest interval between two zeros of a simple random walk starting and ending at the origin, and of its continuum limit, the Brownian bridge, was analysed in the past by Rosén and Wendel, then extended by the latter to stable processes. We recover and extend these results using simple concepts of renewal theory, which allows to revisit past or recent works of the physics literature.

Behavioural and Neurocomputational Studies on the Value of Information

Subjects: Human information behaviour

description: This thesis examines the behavioural and cognitive mechanisms underlying information-seeking behaviour in human decision-makers. Using computational modelling and functional magnetic resonance imaging, this research investigates the key components that influence the value of information, and identifies a central role of the human anterior cingulate cortex in processing the subjective value of information. This thesis also develops a computational modelling framework which provides a robust measure of individual differences in preferences for information, and accurately predicts information-seeking behaviour in humans. This framework can be used to identify traits or pathologies that underlie suboptimal information-seeking behaviour in both health and disease.

Measurement uncertainty relations for discrete observables: Relative entropy formulation

description: We introduce a new information-theoretic formulation of quantum measurement uncertainty relations, based on the notion of relative entropy between measurement probabilities. In the case of a finite-dimensional system and for any approximate joint measurement of two target discrete observables, we define the entropic divergence as the maximal total loss of information occurring in the approximation at hand. For fixed target observables, we study the joint measurements minimizing the entropic divergence, and we prove the general properties of its minimum value. Such a minimum is our uncertainty lower bound: the total information lost by replacing the target observables with their optimal approximations, evaluated at the worst possible state. The bound turns out to be also an entropic incompatibility degree, that is, a good information-theoretic measure of incompatibility: indeed, it vanishes if and only if the target observables are compatible, it is state-independent, and it enjoys all the invariance properties which are desirable for such a measure. In this context, we point out the difference between general approximate joint measurements and sequential approximate joint measurements; to do this, we introduce a separate index for the tradeoff between the error of the first measurement and the disturbance of the second one. By exploiting the symmetry properties of the target observables, exact values, lower bounds and optimal approximations are evaluated in two different concrete examples: (1) a couple of spin-1/2 components (not necessarily orthogonal); (2) two Fourier conjugate mutually unbiased bases in prime power dimension. Finally, the entropic incompatibility degree straightforwardly generalizes to the case of many observables, still maintaining all its relevant properties; we explicitly compute it for three orthogonal spin-1/2 components.
