Creativity in ethnographic interviews

description: The article discusses interviews as participatory reflexive observation. It is based on experiences of interviewing policymakers and researchers about knowledge and evidence in health promotion. This particular group of informants challenged an approach to interviews as getting informants to describe their everyday work life. By employing a methodological framework focusing on reflexive processes, interviews became consensual interactions, and the content of the interviews turned out to be analyses, interpretations and meaning making, that is, knowledge production. Interpretation and meaning making drew on ideologies, norms and values central to the field and thereby the strategies employed by the informants as well as by the researcher could be seen as wayfaring strategies; creating the paths in the field as they go along. Such an approach to interviews opens up the creative character of knowledge production and points out the role of the researcher as an active participant in the creative process.

description: This article aims to illustrate how mimetic interpretation methodology in humanities research can be viewed as a creative continuous process of interpretation. The article offers a deepened and philosophically anchored understanding of processes that go on in many interpretative and reflective research processes, by shedding light on crucial dimensions of interpretation. The research question addressed is how the mimetic processes of interpretation can be used for generating novel and useful knowledge.
By revealing the creative element in mimetic interpretations exemplified by interpretation of empirical data, the article sheds new light on the processes of generating novel and useful knowledge. It is argued that a Ricoeurian-inspired mimetic hermeneutics reflective process of interpretation is not only about textual interpretations carried out by the researchers, but also about readers’ or listeners’ interpretations. It is concluded that a Ricoeurian-inspired interpretative mimetic process is a process of creativity, adding new or extended knowledge to the readers of the text.

description: We mainly explore the linear algebraic structure like SU(2) or SU(1,1) of the shift operators for some one-dimensional exactly solvable potentials in this paper. During such process, a set of method based on original diagonalizing technique is presented to construct those suitable operator elements, J0, J_\pm that satisfy SU(2) or SU(1,1) algebra. At last, the similarity between radial problem and one-dimensional potentials encourages us to deal with the radial problem in the same way.

description: Ultra-hot Jupiters represent an exciting avenue for testing extreme physics and observing atmospheric circulation regimes not found in our solar system. Their high temperatures result in thermally ionized particles embedded in atmospheric winds interacting with the planet's interior magnetic field by generating current and experiencing bulk Lorentz force drag. Previous treatments of magnetic drag in 3D General Circulation Models (GCMs) of ultra-hot Jupiters have mostly been uniform drag timescales applied evenly throughout the planet, which neglects the strong spatial dependence of these magnetic effects. In this work, we apply our locally calculated active magnetic drag treatment in a GCM of the planet WASP-76b. We find the effects of this treatment to be most pronounced in the planet's upper atmosphere, where strong differences between the day and night side circulation are present. These circulation effects alter the resulting phase curves by reducing the hotspot offset and increasing the day-night flux contrast. We compare our models to Spitzer phase curves which imply a magnetic field of at least 3 G for the planet. We additionally contrast our results to uniform drag timescale models. This work highlights the need for more careful treatment of magnetic effects in atmospheric models of hot gas giants.

description: We report new computational and experimental evidence of an efficient and astrochemically relevant formation route to formaldehyde (H$_2$CO). This simplest carbonylic compound is central to the formation of complex organics in cold interstellar clouds, and is generally regarded to be formed by the hydrogenation of solid-state carbon monoxide. We demonstrate H$_2$CO formation via the reaction of carbon atoms with amorphous solid water. Crucial to our proposed mechanism is a concerted proton transfer catalyzed by the water hydrogen bonding network. Consequently, the reactions $^3$C + H$_2$O -> $^3$HCOH and $^1$HCOH -> $^1$H$_2$CO can take place with low or without barriers, contrary to the high-barrier traditional internal hydrogen migration. These low barriers or absence thereof explain the very small kinetic isotope effect in our experiments when comparing the formation of H$_2$CO to D$_2$CO. Our results reconcile the disagreement found in the literature on the reaction route: C + H$_2$O -> H$_2$CO.

Revealing Hearts

description: Some small business owners want to balance personal values as well as economic values. “I have to follow my heart” or “it must be meaningful” some of them say. But how might they be able to know what gives meaning to the heart? The philosophical theologian Paul Tillich finds that the problem is that ‘controlling knowledge’ (e.g., technical testing) might be safe but unimportant, while ‘receiving knowledge’, that can only be verified by direct participation (e.g., intuition), might be important but uncertain. This paper shows how this tension can be made fruitful in relation to business innovation with reference to Tillich’s account of the meaning of revelation through culture and art, summed up in the statement that “(…) revelation is the manifestation of the ground of being for human knowledge” (Tillich, 1951, p.94), which, we argue, can be extended to everyday experiences, for example, in business life. In Tillich’s own terms, even preliminary concerns may point at an ultimate concern (Tillich, 1964), which can also be understood as ‘knowledge of the heart’. Our account is also connected to wider discussions concerning the nature of intuition

description: Using a continuum model, expressions for the elastic energy, defect energy, structure entropy, and mixing entropy of carbon nanocones are proposed analytically. The optimal conformation of carbon nanocones is studied by imposing minimization of free energy and analyzing the effects that the buckling of a nanocone's walls have during formation. The model explains the experimentally observed preference of 19.2 degrees for the cone angle of carbon nanocone. Furthermore, it predicts the optimal conformation of carbon nanocones to result in a cone angle of 19.2 degrees, radius of 0.35 nm, and critical length of 24 nm, all of which agree very well with experimental observations.

description: Ο βαθμός και η φύση της διαβροχής του πορώδους πετρώματος σε ταμιευτήρες πετρελαίου επηρεάζει σημαντικά το ποσοστό του ανακτούμενου πετρελαίου σε διεργασίες δευτερογενούς και τριτογενούς ανάκτησης. Ανάλογα με τη φύση της διαβροχής του πετρώματος (υδατοδιαβρεχόμενο ή πετρελαιοδιαβρεχόμενο πέτρωμα), η διεπιφάνεια νερού-πετρελαίου διέρχεται από πόρους με διαφορετικά χαρακτηριστικά, δημιουργώντας συχνά κανάλια ροής καθώς και απομονωμένες περιοχές που δεν συμμετέχουν πρακτικά στο βαθμό ανάκτησης. Η τεχνητή αλλαγή της διαβρεχτότητας είναι μια ανερχόμενη μέθοδος τριτογενούς παραγωγής, με την οποία επιτυγχάνεται η βελτιστοποίηση του βαθμού ανάκτησης, όταν οι άλλες μέθοδοι κριθούν οικονομικά και τεχνικά ασύμφορες. Στόχος της παρούσας ερευνητικής εργασίας είναι η μελέτη της επίδρασης που έχει η αλλαγή της διαβρεχτότητας σε πυρήνες ψαμμιτικού πετρώματος τύπου Berea, στις καμπύλες των σχετικών διαπερατοτήτων τους. Η μεταβολή της διαβρεχτότητας πραγματοποιήθηκε με εμποτισμό των πυρήνων με φυσικά δείγματα πετρελαίου που περιείχαν ασφαλτένια συγκεντρώσεως 9% προκειμένου να μεταβληθεί ο χαρακτήρας τους από υδατοδιαβρεχόμενα σε πετρελαιοδιαβρεχόμενα. Η μελέτη οδήγησε σε ένα εύρος  συμπερασμάτων εκ των οποίων είναι, η αποτελεσματικότητα της μεθόδου Amott στον προσδιορισμό της διαβροχής και οι εμφανής διαφορές στις καμπύλες σχετικών διαπερατοτήτων νερού/πετρελαίου μεταξύ των δύο διαφορετικών τύπων διαβροχής.

description: The  wettability of a porous rock in oil reservoirs affects the oil recovery potential during secondary and tertiary recovery processes. Depending on the nature of rock wettability (water-wet or oil-wet porous media) the water-oil interface passes through pores with different characteristics, often creating  flow channels as well as isolated areas that are not involved in the recovery stage. Artificial wetting change is an up-and- coming tertiary method that optimizes the rate of recovery when other methods are economically and technically unprofitable. The objective of this thesis, is the determination of wettability of a Berea sandstone core and the effect that it bears on the relative permeability curves of the oil-water system of fluids. The alteration of wettability from water-wet to oil-wet, was performed by impregnating the cores with natural oil samples containing 9% asphaltene. The study led to a range of conclusions, including the effectiveness of the Amott method in determining wettability and the obvious differences in the relative water/oil permeability curves between the two different types of wetting.

An evaluation of cystic fibrosis screening programmes for implementation in British Columbia
Creators: name: Scriabin, Jannie Martine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Four methods were investigated to determine their suitability for use in a CF screening programme for the province of British Columbia. A fecal trypsin method which measured trypsin activity by incubating dry stool samples on filter paper cards with the substrate p-tosyl-arginine methyl ester (TAME) and a pH sensitive dye was shown to be non-specific and therefore unsatisfactory. An attempt to combine a fecal albumin screen with a more specific quantitative immunodiffusion technique for albumin and alpha-1 antitrypsin was unsuccessful. A meconium albumin assay using the Boehringer-Mannheim Corporation (BMC) test-strip and a more specific fecal trypsin assay which uses the substrate benzoyl-arginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) were incorporated into two pilot projects at Children's Hospital in Vancouver. The BMC test-strip was simple to use, reliable and inexpensive. Of 8,891 infants tested, 3 positives were diagnosed as suffering from cystic fibrosis and 1 CF patient tested negative. False positives were obtained on 1.3% of infants. The incidence of CF as determined by this screen was 1 in 2000. The meconium albumin screen was satisfactory as a local pilot project but the disadvantages of testing the unstable meconium specimens make the screen unsuitable for a province-wide application. The BAPNA fecal trypsin method devised by Crossley was used to test 4085 dry stool specimens collected in the hospital and at home. Out of a total number of 190 positive results, none was diagnosed as having CF, giving a false positive rate of 5.0% for the hospital collected specimens and 3.4% for the specimens collected at home. The false positive rate in the hospital collected specimens was due mostly to the large proportion of young infants (under 3 days). The false positive rate of the home collected specimens appeared to be due mostly to the thinner spread of stool sample on the card. Because the quantity of stool sample per test was significantly lower in the home than the hospital collected specimens a new cut-off point for the home collected specimens was considered. Its application/ however did not lower the false positive rate sufficiently. As a result, the high incidence of false positives and the difficulties encountered as a result of this incidence also makes the fecal trypsin screen unsuitable for the province of B.C. Difficulties encountered during the follow-up of positive results obtained in the two pilot projects are discussed and recommendations are made regarding the efficient and adequate implementation of a follow-up system.
Ways parents help their preschool children with asthma
Creators: name: Mitchell, Carol
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study describes ways that parents attempt to help their preschool children with asthma meet their basic human needs. Information about such parental guidance is lacking in the literature and yet parents need assistance from health professionals about how to accomplish the task of rearing their chronically ill children. Ten couples with asthmatic preschool children from the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia were identified and interviewed in their homes. The couples were asked about the actions they took to help their preschool children with asthma meet their basic human needs and the ways they perceived asthma and its treatment affecting their efforts to help these children. An Interview Guide was developed based on the University of British Columbia's Model for Nursing. It is a model with a basic human needs and systems theory framework. All interviews with the couples were audiotaped and later analyzed for content of their communications. The analysis revealed 17 specific helpful actions common to all of the couples, and additional emotions, decisions, and physical efforts to normalize their asthmatic children's and family's daily lives. It was concluded that the couples in this study assumed the responsibilities of helping their preschool children, sick or well, meet their needs to grow and develop according to parental tasks. The intensity of the helping behaviours tended to increase during the children's asthmatic attacks. There are implications for health professionals for developing programs to assist parents to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes: to facilitate the growth and development of their children with a chronic disease such as asthma.

description: In this paper, we consider a drift-diffusion system with cross-coupling through the chemical potentials comprising a model for the motion of finite size ions in liquid electrolytes. The drift term is due to the self-consistent electric field maintained by the ions and described by a Poisson equation. We design two finite volume schemes based on different formulations of the fluxes. We also provide a stability analysis of these schemes and an existence result for the corresponding discrete solutions. A convergence proof is proposed for non-degenerate solutions. Numerical experiments show the behavior of these schemes.

description: Previous works on the divergence of first-order mean-motion resonances (MMRs) have studied in detail the extent of the pericentric and apocentric libration zones of adjacent first-order MMRs, highlighting possible bridges between them in the low-eccentricity circular restricted three-body problem. Here, we describe the previous results in the context of periodic orbits and show that the so-called circular family of periodic orbits is the path that can drive the passage between neighbouring resonances under dissipative effects. We illustrate that the circular family can bridge first and higher order resonances while its gaps at first-order MMRs can serve as boundaries that stop transitions between resonances. In particular, for the Sun-asteroid-Jupiter problem, we show that, during the migration of Jupiter in the protoplanetary disc, a system initially evolving below the apocentric branch of a first-order MMR follows the circular family and can either be captured into the pericentric branch of an adjacent first-order MMR if the orbital migration is rapid or in a higher order MMR in case of slow migration. Radial transport via the circular family can be extended to many small body and planetary system configurations undergoing dissipative effects (e.g., tidal dissipation, solar mass-loss and gas drag).

description: We have observed the propagation of an approximately 35 ns long light pulse with a negative group velocity through a laser-cooled 85Rb atomic medium. The anomalous dispersion results from linear atom-light interaction, and is unrelated to long-lived ground state coherences often associated with fast light in atomic media. The observed negative group velocity (-c/360) in the Rb magneto-optical trap for a pulse attenuated by less than 50% is in good agreement with the value of dispersion measured independently by an RF heterodyne method. The spectral region of anomalous dispersion is between 15 and 40 MHz, which is an order of magnitude wider than that typically associated with ground-state coherences.

description: In the Brans-Dicke theory the Planck mass is replaced by a dynamical scalar field. We consider here the supersymmetric analogous of this mechanism replacing in the supergravity Lagrangian the Planck mass with a chiral superfield. This analysis is motivated by the research of possible connections between supersymmetric Dark Matter scenarios and Dark Energy models based on Brans-Dicke-like theories. We find that, contrary to the original Brans-Dicke theory, in its supersymmetric analogous the gravitational sector does not couple to the matter sector in a universal metric way. As a result, violations of the weak equivalence principle could be present in such a scenario.

description: Many advanced quantum techniques feature non-Gaussian dynamics, and the ability to manipulate the system in that domain is the next-stage in many experiments. One example of meaningful non-Gaussian dynamics is that of a double-well potential. Here we study the dynamics of a levitated nanoparticle undergoing the transition from an harmonic potential to a double-well in a realistic setting, subjecting to both thermalisation and localisation. We characterise the dynamics of the nanoparticle from a thermodynamic point-of-view, investigating the dynamics with the Wehrl entropy production and its rates. Furthermore, we investigate coupling regimes where the the quantum effect and thermal effect are of the same magnitude, and look at suitable squeezing of the initial state that provides the maximum coherence. The effects and the competitions of the unitary and the dissipative parts onto the system are demonstrated. We quantify the requirements to relate our results to a bonafide experiment with the presence of the environment, and discuss the experimental interpretations of our results in the end.

description: Complex data is challenging to understand when it is represented as written communication even when it is structured in a table. However, choosing to represent data in creative ways can aid our understanding of complex ideas and patterns. In this regard, the creative industries have a great deal to offer data-intensive scholarly disciplines. Music, for example, is not often used to interpret data, yet the rhythmic nature of music lends itself to the representation and analysis of temporal data.
Taking the music industry as a case study, this paper explores how data about historical live music gigs can be analysed, extended and re-presented to create new insights. Using a unique process called ‘songification’ we demonstrate how enhanced auditory data design can provide a medium for aural intuition. The case study also illustrates the benefits of an expanded and inclusive view of research; in which computation and communication, method and media, in combination enable us to explore the larger question of how we can employ technologies to produce, represent, analyse, deliver and exchange knowledge.

description: We report the laser-cooling and confinement of Cd atoms in a magneto-optical trap, and characterize the loading process from the background Cd vapor. The trapping laser drives the 1S0-1P1 transition at 229 nm in this two-electron atom and also photoionizes atoms directly from the 1P1 state. This photoionization overwhelms the other loss mechanisms and allows a direct measurement of the photoionization cross section, which we measure to be 2(1)x10^(-16)cm^(2) from the 1P1 state. When combined with nearby laser-cooled and trapped Cd^(+) ions, this apparatus could facilitate studies in ultracold interactions between atoms and ions.

description: In this work we study how CPT-odd Maxwell-Carroll-Field-Jackiw (MCFJ) electrodynamics as well as a dimension-5 extension of it affect the optical activity of continuous media. The starting point is dimension-3 MCFJ electrodynamics in matter whose modified Maxwell equations, permittivity tensor, and dispersion relations are recapitulated. Corresponding refractive indices are achieved in terms of the frequency and the vector-valued background field. For a purely timelike background, the refractive indices are real. Their associated propagation modes are circularly polarized and exhibit birefringence. For a purely spacelike background, one refractive index is always real and the other can be complex. The circularly polarized propagating modes may exhibit birefringence and dichroism (associated with absorption). Subsequently, we examine a dimension-five MCFJ-type electrodynamics, previously scrutinized in the literature, in a continuous medium. Following the same procedure, we find the refractive indices from a sixth-order dispersion equation. For a purely timelike background, three distinct refractive indices are obtained, one of them being real and two being complex. They are associated with two circularly polarized propagating modes that exhibit birefringence or dichroism, depending on the frequency range. Scenarios of propagation and absorption analogous to those found in dispersive dielectrics are also observed for spacelike background configurations. We conclude by comparing the dimension-three and five results and by emphasizing the richer phenomenology of the propagating modes in the higher-derivative model. Our results are applicable in the realm of Weyl semimetals.

description: Drawing on Heidegger’s later writings on Hölderlin’s poetry, this paper explores the existential significance of being a researcher. Heidegger’s characterisation of our being-in-the-world is used as a basis for exploring Hölderlin’s poem, “Remembrance” in order to to throw light on the experience of undertaking research. The paper argues that the very phenomena of familiarity, disorientation, and illumination characterise this process of researching.

description: In this paper we derive the general equilibrium equations of a polymer chain with a noncircular cross section by the variation of the free energy functional. From the equilibrium equation of the elastic ribbon we derive analytically the equilibrium conformations both of the helical ribbons and the twisted ribbons. We find that the pitch angle of the helical ribbons depends on the ratio of the torsional rigidity to the bending one. For the twisted ribbons, the rotation rate depends on the spontaneous torsion, which is determined by the elastic properties of the polymers. Our results for helical and twisted ribbons strongly indicate that the formation of these structures is determined by their elastic properties.

How the researcher’s experience of visual images can contribute to qualitative research
Creators: name: Nielsen, Anne Maj
Publisher: name: Akademisk kvarter | Academic Quarter
Year: 2014

description: This article presents a theoretical argument exploring how visual images appeal to sensory knowledge, and how sensory knowledge can contribute to qualitative research where visual images are included as part of the method. The argument is based on a phenomenological approach and a conceptual model of ‘the aesthetic object’. The experience of the aesthetic object comprises three different attitudes, each of which approaches specific aspects of the aesthetic object. By reflectively differentiating between these various attitudes, the contribution of sensory-experienced knowledge can become explicit in qualitative research.

Experiencing creativity in the qualitative data analysis
Creators: name: Ellefsen, Edith
Publisher: name: Akademisk kvarter | Academic Quarter

description: In this paper, a theoretical model is proposed to understand how creativity is involved in the qualitative data analysis experience to support students’ learning. It is important to ensure that students’ intuitive and personal knowledge about creativity is structured in a conscious manner. To do so, they should develop ways of reflection in action enabling them to adapt their own individual creativity in the qualitative data analysis experience. In this original model, I describe the process of qualitative data analysis as a reflection-writing dialectic combined with three movements of creativity which are: inspiration, working-out and detachment. This text highlights specific skills that are required at different times of the qualitative data analysis process to encourage teachers to support these skills development among their students.

Fig. 12
Type species
Ophiomyces frutectosus Lyman, 1869.
Examined species
Ophiomyces delata Koehler, 1904, O. frutectosus.
Oral GP
Not examined, not identified in situ. Considered absent.
Adradial GP
Flat, thin, blade-like, ventral edge convex, dorsal edge straight, articular structure at distal end as embossed oval patch with finer stereom.
Abradial GP
Similar to adGP, articular patch depressed. When both GP are articulated, they are parallel, leaving a narrow slit between them.
Oral shields
Minute, elongated drop-shaped, with thickened rectangular distal end, depressed center of OS with coarse, porous stereom in external and internal views. Madreporite similar, with several small pores in middle part.
Radial shield
Absent.
Remarks
Matsumoto (1915, 1917) considered the abradial genital plate (his “genital scale”) and the radial shield in Ophiomyces to be absent (Table 1). Lyman (1882) considered the radial shield to be absent, but both genital plates to be present (Table 1), and the present study confirms his interpretation. They both described the adradial genital plate as curved over the top of the arm. Instead, both genital plates are flat and straight, and in the intact disc they may be upright or diagonal across the arm base (Fig. 12E). Oral GPs were not found after dissociating the skeleton and may be absent, since the adGP and abGP extend the full length from oral shield to disc edge, with the genital slit opening between them. Conditions in Ophiotholia spathifer (Lyman, 1879) are the same as in Ophiomyces.

Researching online supervision

description: Online supervision and the use of digital media in supervisory dialogues is a fast increasing practice in higher education today. However, the concepts in our pedagogical repertoire often reflect the digital tools used for supervision purposes as either a prolongation of the face-to-face contact, or a poor substitution of such. This one-sidedness on the conceptual level makes it challenging to empirically study the deeper implications digital tools have for the supervisory dialogue. Drawing on phenomenology and systems theory we argue that we need new concepts in qualitative methodology that allow us to research the digital tools on their own premises as autonomous things in themselves, possessing an ontological creativity of their own. In order for qualitative research to match the ontological nature of digital tools we conclude the article by formulating three criteria of a ‘torn’ methodology that makes room for new approaches to researching online supervision at the university.

A community of working men : the residential environment of early Nanaimo, British Columbia, 1875-1891
Creators: name: Moffat, Ben Lawrence
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis discusses the growth of the coal mining town of Nanaimo, British Columbia an industrial settlement in a New World wilderness. The people who settled Nanaimo came, for the most part, from British coal mining regions. They came to improve their standard of living, but, as in Britain, worked in a capital and labour intensive industry. This thesis examines their patterns of settlement in this new town on the Pacific and stresses the analysis of occupational mobility, residential segregation, and levels of home ownership. Parallels to and departures from British experiences are discussed. Initially Nanaimo's land was relatively cheap, wages were steady, the town was clean, single family dwellings made an "open" settlement, and some opportunities existed for upward occupational mobility. For these reasons British miners found Nanaimo an improvement over British colliery towns. Yet as Continental Europeans and Asian immigrants increased in number, as the total population grew, as neighbourhoods became more segregated, and as coal markets softened unrest mounted. Increases in land costs, racial animosity, and residential segregation were all forces shaping Nanaimo in 1891, the final year of the study.

description: Secure distributed data compression in the presence of an eavesdropper is explored. Two correlated sources that need to be reliably transmitted to a legitimate receiver are available at separate encoders. Noise-free, limited rate links from the encoders to the legitimate receiver, one of which can also be perfectly observed by the eavesdropper, are considered. The eavesdropper also has its own correlated observation. Inner and outer bounds on the achievable compression-equivocation rate region are given. Several different scenarios involving the side information at the transmitters as well as multiple receivers/eavesdroppers are also considered.

description: The magnetocaloric effect in single crystalline Nd_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_{3} is investigated by measuring the field-induced adiabatic change in temperature which reveals a single negative peak around 130 K well below the Curie temperature (T_C=203 K). In order to understand this unusual magnetocaloric effect, we invoke the reported {55}^Mn spin-echo nuclear magnetic resonance, electron magnetic resonance and polarized Raman scattering measurements on Nd_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_{3}. We show that this effect is a manifestation of a competition between the double exchange mechanism and correlations arising from coupled spin and lattice degrees of freedom which results in a complex ferromagnetic state. The critical behavior of Nd_{0.7}Sr_{0.3}MnO_{3} near Curie temperature is investigated to study the influence of the coupled degrees of freedom. We find a complicated behavior at low fields in which the order of the transition could not be fixed and a second-order-like behavior at high fields.
