Effects of individual components of school-wide positive behaviour support on rates of problem behaviour
Creators: name: Turri, Mary Gwendolyn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the outcomes of the implementation of the individual components of School-wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) on rates of office discipline referrals. Data from 415 schools at varying years of implementation were drawn from a database of U.S. schools implementing SWPBS and using the School-wide Information System (SWIS; May et al., 2008) to enter and manage office discipline referrals. The implementation levels of each component of SWPBS were analyzed in relation to their effect on school-level rates of office discipline referrals, using multilevel modeling. In contrast to previous research, analyses did not indicate statistically significant associations among office discipline referrals and any of the measured SWPBS components. Possible reasons for results include a restricted range of implementation in the sample and lack of controlling for number of years implementing, as possible decreases in previous years were not captured in these analyses. Results are discussed in terms of implications for future research.

description: Excerpts from the report: Modern highways and truck equipment have facilitated movement of milk over long distances. The consumer in any part of the country can obtain milk which has been produced on a farm 1,000 or more miles away, Transporting milk over such distances requires equipment of functional design and efficient operation. This study deals with costs of transporting bulk milk over long distances and with costs of transporting packaged milk from plant to distribution centers. Costs for long distance transportation of bulk milk were developed for the Eastern, Midwest, and Western Regions of the United States, and combined for a three-region average. Synthetic cost analysis was used to derive annual fixed costs and variable costs per unit of milk for each region.

description: We present a detection of the unnormalized skewness induced by the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect in filtered Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) 148 GHz cosmic microwave background temperature maps. Contamination due to infrared and radio sources is minimized by template subtraction of resolved sources and by constructing a mask using outlying values in the 218 GHz (tSZ-null) ACT maps. We measure = -31 +- 6 μK^3 (measurement error only) or +- 14 μK^3 (including cosmic variance error) in the filtered ACT data, a 5-sigma detection. We show that the skewness is a sensitive probe of sigma_8, and use analytic calculations and tSZ simulations to obtain cosmological constraints from this measurement. From this signal alone we infer a value of sigma_8= 0.79 +0.03 -0.03 (68 % C.L.) +0.06 -0.06 (95 % C.L.). Our results demonstrate that measurements of non-Gaussianity can be a useful method for characterizing the tSZ effect and extracting the underlying cosmological information.

description: This paper explores some of the important issues that influence the magnitude of receival site grain catchments in Australia. Changes in grain harvests, transport and grain handling technologies and costs; changes in farming systems, crop yields and harvesting capacity; investments in roads and on-farm storage and economies of size in grain receival infrastructure are shown in combination to affect the size of grain catchments in major grain-growing regions of Australia over the last 30 years. The size of grain catchments that minimise growers’ costs of road transport of their harvested grain and their receival point charges in various time periods are determined. Differently shaped grain catchments are considered. The main finding is that the size of grain catchments that minimise farmers’ grain transport, off-farm storage and handling costs since the mid-1980s has consistently increased, principally due to lessening real costs of road transport, more on-farm storage and economies of size in grain receival, despite higher grain yields and a greater intensity of cropping. These findings are consistent with the observed reduction in the number of receival sites in many grain-growing regions of Australia. Site rationalisation is less evident in states where the receival network is owned and operated by a grower cooperative.

description: Die Dissertation basiert auf einer umfassenden Recherche in den Thüringer Staatsarchiven. Für den Zeitraum von 1820 bis 1900 konnten für die Thüringer Region 89 valide Intoxikationsfälle gefunden werden. Die Intoxikationen waren meist akzidenteller Natur, betrafen aber auch Fälle aus dem Medizinal-Bereich und der Gewerbetoxikologie. Ferner konnten Giftmorde und suizidale Vergiftung nachgewiesen werden. Das Spektrum an Giften umfasste anorganische, organische und pflanzliche Noxen. Arsenik wurde am häufigsten eingesetzt, wobei Vergiftungen mit dieser Noxe meist tödlich verliefen. Die typische Intoxikation kann als akute Vergiftung mit peroraler Aufnahme charakterisiert werden. Ergänzend wurden bestehende Gesetze zum Umgang und Handel mit Giften sowie der Giftnachweis untersucht.

description: Excerpts from the report: A study was planned to cover the harvest and storage of 1 year's corn crop in three Southeastern States. One objective was to develop a reliable dollar value for the losses from insect attack. Data would be sought on the factors that influence or govern insect attack and damage to stored corn. From such a project, guidelines might be developed on phases of research needed to develop practical means for preventing such losses. The study was conducted in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi, three large corn-producing States in the Southeast. Only farm-stored corn was considered. The basic objectives of this study were (1) determine the species, abundance, and relative importance of various stored-corn insects throughout the year in three Southeastern States; (2) to establish insofar as possible the actual monetary value of the damage caused by insects in stored corn; and (3) to determine the kinds and extent of insect control measures presently used and their effectiveness.

description: We study the structure of Bogoliubov quasiparticles, 'bogolons,' the fermionic excitations of paired superfluids that arise from fermion (BCS) pairing, including neutral superfluids, superconductors, and paired quantum Hall states. The naive construction of a stationary quasiparticle in which the deformation of the pair field is neglected leads to a contradiction: it carries a net electrical current even though it does not move. However, treating the pair field self-consistently resolves this problem: In a neutral superfluid, a dipolar current pattern is associated with the quasiparticle for which the total current vanishes. When Maxwell electrodynamics is included, as appropriate to a superconductor, this pattern is confined over a penetration depth. For paired quantum Hall states of composite fermions, the Maxwell term is replaced by a Chern-Simons term, which leads to a dipolar charge distribution and consequently to a dipolar current pattern.

Moreover when ${m+d \choose d}$ is multiple of $(m+n+1)$, the $s^{th}$ secant variety of  $X^{(n,m)}_{(1,d)}$ has the expected dimension for every $s$.

description: In der modernen Gesellschaft gelten Entscheidungen als sicher, die auf Grundlage fundierten Wissens getroffen werden. Das gilt besonders für Umweltgestaltungen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird in der Umweltsoziologie in jüngster Zeit argumentiert, dass der Fokus gesellschaftlichen Handelns von der Wissensbeschaffung als einzig akzeptierter Strategie auf die Pluralisierung von Strategien im Umgang mit Nichtwissen gerichtet werden sollte. Die Dissertation nimmt dieses Postulat zum Anlass und analysiert den gesellschaftlichen Umgang mit Nichtwissen in alltäglichen Entscheidungsprozessen. Anhand des umweltpolitischen Themas der Altlastensanierung wird in dieser Arbeit der Frage nachgegangen, ob und unter welchen Bedingungen Wissensgrenzen von Akteuren thematisiert und in Entscheidungen einbezogen werden können. Basierend auf der Analyse von zwei Fallstudien wird ein Modell zur Erklärung solcher Entscheidungsprozessen entwickelt.

description: Quantum state tomography is the task of inferring the state of a quantum system by appropriate measurements. Since the frequency distributions of the outcomes of any finite number of measurements will generally deviate from their asymptotic limits, the estimates computed by standard methods do not in general coincide with the true state, and therefore have no operational significance unless their accuracy is defined in terms of error bounds. Here we show that quantum state tomography, together with an appropriate data analysis procedure, yields reliable and tight error bounds, specified in terms of confidence regions - a concept originating from classical statistics. Confidence regions are subsets of the state space in which the true state lies with high probability, independently of any prior assumption on the distribution of the possible states. Our method for computing confidence regions can be applied to arbitrary measurements including fully coherent ones; it is practical and particularly well suited for tomography on systems consisting of a small number of qubits, which are currently in the focus of interest in experimental quantum information science.

Invariance properties of the Multidimensional matching distance in Persistent Topology and Homology
Creators: name: Andrea, Cerri
name: Patrizio, Frosini
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2010
Subjects: MAT/03 Geometria

description: Persistent Topology studies topological features of shapes
by analyzing the lower level sets of suitable functions, 
called filtering functions, and encoding the arising information in a parameterized version of the Betti numbers, i.e. the ranks of persistent homology groups. Initially introduced by considering real-valued filtering functions, Persistent Topology has been subsequently generalized to a multidimensional setting, i.e. to the case of $\R^n$-valued filtering functions, leading to studying the ranks of multidimensional homology groups. In particular, a multidimensional matching distance has been defined, in order to compare these ranks. The definition of the multidimensional matching distance is based on foliating the domain of the ranks of multidimensional 
homology groups by a collection of half-planes, and hence it formally depends on a subset of $\R^n\times\R^n$ inducing a parameterization of these half-planes. It happens that it is possible to choose this subset in an infinite number of different ways. In this paper we show that the multidimensional matching distance is actually invariant with respect to such a choice.

description: The Hausdorff distance, the Gromov-Hausdorff, the Fréchet and the natural pseudo-distances are instances of dissimilarity measures widely used in
shape comparison. We show that they share the property of being defined as $inf_{\rho} F(\rho)$ where $F$ is a suitable functional and $\rho$ varies in a set of correspondences containing the set of homeomorphisms. Our main result states that the set of homeomorphisms cannot be enlarged to a metric space $K$, in such a way that the composition in $K$ (extending the composition of homeomorphisms) passes to the limit and, at the same time, $K$ is compact.

Explanations for command recommendations : an experimental study
Creators: name: Jiresal, Rahul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Recently, evaluation of a recommender system has been beyond evaluating just the algorithm. In addition to accuracy of algorithms, user-centric approaches evaluate a system’s effectiveness in presenting recommendations, explaining recommendations and gaining users’ confidence in the system. Existing research focuses on explaining recommendations that are related to user’s current task. However, explaining recommendations can prove useful even when recommendations are not directly related to user’s current task. Recommendations of development environment commands to soft- ware developers is an example of recommendations that are not related to the user’s current task, which is primarily focussed on programming, rather than inspecting recommendations. In this dissertation, we study three different kinds of explanations for IDE commands recommended to software developers. These explanations are inspired by the common approaches based on literature in the domain. We describe a lab-based experimental study with 24 participants where they performed programming tasks on an open source project. Our results suggest that explanations affect users’ trust of recommendations, and explanations reporting the system’s confidence in recommendation affects their trust more. The explanation with system’s confidence rating of the recommendations resulted in more recommendations being investigated. However, explanations did not affect the uptake of the commands. Our qualitative results suggest that recommendations, when not user’s primary focus, should be in context of his task to be accepted more readily.

description: The New Zealand government seeks to dramatically increase the value of agricultural exports while concurrently protecting the natural environment. Thus, farmers are expected to adopt pro-environmental management practices and novel farm technologies. We show that farmers are more likely to adopt new practices and technologies after seeing them demonstrated, but earlier evidence indicates that demonstration is most effectively undertaken within farmer networks. We use multivariate regression to identify the traits of livestock farmers who are innovative by focusing on adoption of pro-environmental management practices (managing nutrients, soils and pugging) and novel farm technologies (e.g., windmills, computer-based management systems, automatic sensors and specialised grasses), considering both numbers adopted and timing. We find that dairy farmers are more innovative than other livestock farmers and that higher education levels and stronger environmental norms within the family are strongly associated with innovativeness. In addition, we find that innovators and early adopters have larger networks than other farmers. Moreover, the composition of these networks is much more varied than the networks of less innovative farmers. These findings imply that innovative farmers in New Zealand may also act as connectors for the diffusion of new ideas in farming.

description: Excerpts from the report: The vegetable-oil industry rarely stores soybean oils longer than necessary during the operating season. No information is available that reports possible changes in quality factors of soybean oils when stored either as once-refined, degummed crude, or crude oils for periods longer than a few months. The continuing increases in the production of soybeans, along with increased demand for soybean meal, may make it economically desirable to store soybean oil before deodorization. The primary objective of this study was to determine the extent of changes in quality characteristics of once-refined, degummed crude, and crude soybean oils during 1 year is of storage in drums, and to relate the changes to these characteristics as they were before storage. Other objectives were: (1) To determine any decrease in value during storage, of the oils, in accordance with trade specifications of the N.S.P.A. [National Soybean Processors' Association] (2) To determine the relative keeping quality during storage of soybean oils in the three stages of processing; namely, once-refined, degummed crude, or crude oils. (3) To ascertain the relative importance of some tests used by industry to measure the quality of soybean oils. (4) To relate all these findings to commercial storage of soybean oils in field tanks.

description: LE AZIENDE DI SERVIZI PUBBLICI ALLA PERSONA: NUOVO NOME DELLE IPAB O RIDEFINIZIONE STRATEGICA DEI SERVIZI ALLE PERSONE (UN MODELLO DI ANALISI STRATEGICA)

Il sistema delle amministrazioni pubbliche locali italiane si è arricchito in questi ultimi anni di un nuovo soggetto rappresentato dalle Aziende Pubbliche di Servizi alla Persona (Asp), costituite in alcune regioni ed in altre in via di  costituzione quale esito della trasformazione delle preesistenti Ipab. La regolamentazione delle Asp vede gli enti locali quale soggetto economico pubblico con l'approvazione degli statuti, la designazione degli organi, programmazione e finanziamento delle asp.
L'inserimento di questi soggetti, che hanno raccolto patrimonio e servizi delle Ipab, è spesso avvenuto in modo acritico, senza l'esercizio di una (ri)progettazione strategica dei servizi sociali ed educativi sul territorio di riferimento, ma con una mera riproposizione del ruolo delle ipab. Non si è colta in molte situazioni l'opportunitÃ  di analisi e progettazione strategica dei servizi che la nascita di queste aziende offre al gruppo economico locale. La complessità  e la varietà  delle scelte istituzionali ed organizzative in cui i servizi sociali ed educativi possono essere organizzati su un territorio da soggetti pubblici e privati, profit e nonprofit richiede invece al programmatore la considerazione delle possibili scelte strategiche, in termini di servizi proposti, di modelli istituzionali ed organizzativi, nonché di integrazione con gli altri soggetti pubblici e privati operanti sugli stessi bisogni nello stesso territorio.  
Il contributo propone, con particolare riferimento alla regolamentazione della regione Emilia-Romagna, un primo modello di lettura strategica dell'organizzazione delle aziende dei servizi alla persona ed attraverso esse della gestione dei servizi alla persona in un contesto territoriale, anche con l'utilizzo di alcuni aggregati di bilancio derivabili alla luce della maggiore standardizzazione del sistema informativo contabile obbligatorio ora basato sulla contabilità  economico-patrimoniale. 
Il modello di analisi prende in considerazione le scelte istituzionali ed organizzative delle aziende pubbliche e degli enti locali, nonché le forme di collaborazione con i soggetti privati, attuate per l'erogazione dei servizi; il suo utilizzo è utile per rappresentare ed analizzare la situazione dei servizi sociali ed educativi alla popolazione sul territorio e per progettare e controllare nel tempo la loro evoluzione, oltre che per confrontare le scelte operate in diversi territori.

description: If $X\subset \PP n$  is a projective non degenerate variety, the $X$-rank of a point $P\in \PP n$ is defined to be the minimum integer $r$ such that $P$ belongs to the span of $r$ points of $X$. We describe the complete stratification of the fourth secant variety of any Veronese variety $X$ via the $X$-rank. This result has an equivalent translation in terms both of symmetric tensors and homogeneous polynomials. It allows to classify all the possible integers $r$ that can occur in the minimal  decomposition of either a symmetric tensor or a homogeneous polynomials of $X$-border rank $4$ (see Not. \ref{border}) as a linear combination of  either completely decomposable tensors or  powers of linear forms respectively.

Twisted Superalgebras and Cohomologies of the N=2 Superconformal Quantum Mechanics

description: We prove that the invariance of the N=2 superconformal quantum mechanics is controlled by subalgebras of a given twisted superalgebra made of 6 fermionic (nilpotent) generators and 6 bosonic generators (including a central charge). The superconformal quantum mechanics actions are invariant under this quite large twisted superalgebra. On the other hand, they are fully determined by a subalgebra with only 2 fermionic and 2 bosonic (the central charge and the ghost number) generators. The invariant actions are Q_i-exact (i=1,2,...,6), with a Q_{i'}-exact (i'\neq i) antecedent for all 6 fermionic generators. It follows that the superconformal quantum mechanics actions with Calogero potentials are uniquely determined even if, in its bosonic sector, the twisted superalgebra does not contain the one-dimensional conformal algebra sl(2), but only its Borel subalgebra. The general coordinate covariance of the non-linear sigma-model for the N=2 supersymmetric quantum mechanics in a curved target space is fully implied only by its worldline invariance under a pair of the 6 twisted supersymmetries. The transformation connecting the ordinary and twisted formulations of the N=2 superconformal quantum mechanics is explicitly presented.

Social anxiety and emotion regulation flexibility: a daily diary approach

description: Previous research suggests that social anxiety symptoms are maintained and intensified by inflexible emotion regulation (ER). Therefore, we examined whether trait-level social anxiety moderates ER flexibility operationalised at both between-person (covariation between variability in emotional intensity and variability in strategy use across occasions) and within-person (associations between emotional intensity and strategy use on a given day) levels. In a sample of healthy college-aged adults (N = 185, Mage = 21.89), we examined overall and emotion-specific intensities (shame, guilt, anxiety, anger, sadness) and regulatory strategies (i.e. experiential avoidance, expressive suppression, and rumination) in response to each day’s most emotionally intense event over 6 days. During the study period, we found a positive association between variability in emotional intensity and variability of experiential avoidance in individuals with lower, rather than higher, levels of trait social anxiety after controlling for key covariates (i.e. gender, personality traits, and stress exposure). However, we did not find evidence for the moderating role of trait social anxiety in ER flexibility assessed at within-person levels. Our findings highlight the need to delineate dynamic ER flexibility across everyday events.

description: Anthony Giddens' Structuration Theory is probably one of the sociological theories more directly referenced and more widely used, in a variety of ways, in organizational research. Why is that, and what does it mean for organizational research? In this paper we explore this issue by reviewing some early, influential contributions, within the organizational field, that used Giddens' theory as the main reference. We will show that the actual utilizations of such theory are very heterogeneous in many relevant concepts, although they are all moved by similar theoretical needs. We also propose that in order to properly answer to those needs, organizational research should focus on some key elements that, while being central in Giddens' contribution, are not always interpreted consistently by "Giddensian" organization scholars. Finally, we will argue that it is possible for the organization reflection, even when it is not built upon Structuration Theory, to share and realize Giddens' main "message" to the organizational discipline: the need for an organization theory truly based on an epistemological view that allows to overcome the objectivist / subjectivist dilemma.

description: Desoxyribonukleinsäuren (DNS) bilden in vivo nicht nur die bekannte Doppelhelixstruktur aus, sondern auch verschiedene nicht-kanonische Konformationen. Hierzu gehören die in dieser Arbeit untersuchten G-Quadruplexe, i-Motive und Haarnadelstrukturen. Um Konformationsänderungen unter verschiedenen Bedingungen zu beobachten, wurde auf die Einzelmolekül-Förster-Resonanzenergietransfer (smFRET)-Mikroskopie sowie die Circulardichroismus (CD)-Spektroskopie gesetzt. Ein großer Vorteil der smFRET-Mikroskopie ist die Unterscheidbarkeit gleichzeitig vorliegender verschiedener Konformationen, im Gegensatz zu gängigen Ensemblemethoden, bei welchen das Messsignal einen Mittelwert über die gesamte Probe darstellt. Die Untersuchungsbedingungen deckten hierbei verschiedene Bereiche biologischer Relevanz ab. Untersuchungen unter hohen hydrostatischen Drücken in Verbindung mit verschiedenen Osmolyten, bilden Teilaspekte der Anpassungsmechanismen von Tiefseeorganismen nach und erlauben Rückschlüsse auf thermodynamische Größen wie die molare Volumenänderung einer Konformationsänderung. Der Zusatz von α-Synuclein und Proteinaggregaten erforscht wiederum Mechanismen der Protein-DNS-Wechselwirkungen im Zusammenhang mit neurodegenerativen Krankheiten wie Parkinson und Lewis-Körper Demenz. Weiter konnten Erkenntnisse über die Effekte von flüssig-flüssig phasenseparierten Lösemittelumgebungen gewonnen werden, indem ein Modellsystem aus Polyethylenglykol (PEG) und Dextran genutzt wurde.

description: We determine the limiting distribution of the normalized Euler factors of an abelian surface A defined over a number field k when A is isogenous to the square of an elliptic curve defined over k with complex multiplication. As an application, we prove the Sato-Tate Conjecture for Jacobians of Q-twists of the curves y^2=x^5-x and y^2=x^6+1, which give rise to 18 of the 34 possibilities for the Sato-Tate group of an abelian surface defined over Q. With twists of these two curves one encounters, in fact, all of the 18 possibilities for the Sato-Tate group of an abelian surface that is isogenous to the square of an elliptic curve with complex multiplication. Key to these results is the twisting Sato-Tate group of a curve, which we introduce in order to study the effect of twisting on the Sato-Tate group of its Jacobian.

description: Adopting and expanding Black’s conception of terrorism as self-help, this study examines how Palestinian youth become involved in security violations. Based on an analysis of in-depth interviews conducted with 10 Palestinian youth incarcerated in Israeli prisons, their experiences are described, including the aftermath of arrest and imprisonment. Their accounts are complemented by interviews with six wardens and correctional officers overseeing the prison’s youth wings, a review of military court transcripts from proceedings leading up to the youth’s incarceration, and observations of participants’ daily prison routines. The data detail pathways and recruitment processes, motivations, rewarding aspects of participation, and the costs incurred as a result by participants and their families. Security violations are analyzed as self-help responses to collective grievances and personal problems. The theoretical and policy implications of the findings are discussed.

description: This article challenges the common idea that teaching means transmitting knowledge. This statement seems unsustainable if one analyzes the problems of communication in teaching. These problems are related to the ways of listening and understanding and also to the content of communication. Hence, we propose to focus our attention on teaching as a help for learning, on learning as a process of action and decision, and on the regulation of this process. This alternative point of view doesn’t have the same considerable impasses that the idea of teaching as transmission does. Lastly, this paper clarifies the epistemological assumptions of the two competing points of view. Both the example of university education and the example of training for work analysis with the goal of prevention in a healthcare service are useful to the discussion.

description: Italian union’s and occupational medicine’s traditions about safety and health in work situations are compared with the study programs upon which a joint research by Franco Mosca, unionist, and Maria Angela Breveglieri, occupational physician, is based. This research, which concerns the intermediate organizational processes between production and distribution of agricultural products, stimulates reflections and interventions about both the logic of production and the workers’ needs for prevention and well-being. The introduction to the book that illustrates the research (Lavoro organizzato, salute e azione sindacale in un comparto agricolo - Organized Labour, Health and Union Action in an Agricultural Sector, Torino, 1994) discusses the possible encounter between organizational analysis, biomedical action and union action.

description: This study explored how congruency between facial mimicry and observed expressions affects the stability of conscious facial expression representations. Focusing on the congruency effect between proprioceptive/sensorimotor signals and visual stimuli for happy expressions, participants underwent a binocular rivalry task displaying neutral and happy faces. Mimicry was either facilitated with a chopstick or left unrestricted. Key metrics included Initial Percept (bias indicator), Onset Resolution Time (time from onset to Initial Percept), and Cumulative Time (content stabilization measure). Results indicated that mimicry manipulation significantly impacted Cumulative Time for happy faces, highlighting the importance of congruent mimicry in stabilizing conscious awareness of facial expressions. This supports embodied cognition models, showing the integration of proprioceptive information significantly biases conscious visual perception of facial expressions.
