description: Aim: The project aimed to implement reflective practice as an integral component of professional supervision within a social work department. Rationale: Social work is a complex and contested profession, operating in uncertain and unpredictable contexts, requiring careful professional judgements that can have profound impact on service-users. A number of high-profile inquiries have found deficits within the profession to critically analyse practice and manage complexity. These reports place key emphasis on the need for reflective practice within supervision as a critical means of providing safe, high quality services. However there is evidence that social workers are not getting the opportunity to reflect on practice and that supervision has become overly managerial and prescriptive. As a practicing social worker, the writer was aware of the complexity within which the profession operates and wished to support and empower colleagues in complex professional decision-making to enhance safe, high quality social work services. The writer was conscious of trends toward the predominance of managerialism within supervision and sought to rebalance the process to incorporate critical reflection as an integral component. The writer was also aware that such an initiative was aligned with agency policy, corporate goals and regulatory requirements. Change Process: Project implementation was guided by the HSE Change Model and involved an educational presentation on CORU SWRB “Standard and Requirements for CPD”, a staff survey on learning needs relating to reflective practice, a workshop on reflective practice within supervision and the development of a prompting and recording tool to support engagement in reflective practice on a monthly basis within supervision. Evaluation & Results: Project evaluation involved regular consultation with the social work departmental team, documentation review and survey feedback. From a quantitative perspective, 80% of team members engaged in and recorded reflective practice on a monthly basis within supervision. Qualitative feedback highlights the perception of team members that the project has enhanced their professional decision-making capacity, supported them to meet requirements of registration, re-established supervision as a forum to analyse complexity and enhanced knowledge of reflective practice. Conclusion: By developing the capacity of social workers to engage in reflective practice within supervision, this project supports the delivery of safe, high quality services and empowers social workers to meet requirements of statutory registration, comply with agency supervision guidelines and support the achievement of corporate goals.

description: The quantization of optical fields in vacuum has been known for decades, but extending the field quantization to lossy and dispersive media in nonequilibrium conditions has proven to be complicated due to the position-dependent electric and magnetic responses of the media. In fact, consistent position-dependent quantum models for the photon number in resonant structures have only been formulated very recently and only for dielectric media. Here we present a general position-dependent quantized fluctuational electrodynamics (QFED) formalism that extends the consistent field quantization to describe the photon number also in the presence of magnetic field-matter interactions. It is shown that the magnetic fluctuations provide an additional degree of freedom in media where the magnetic coupling to the field is prominent. Therefore, the field quantization requires an additional independent noise operator that is commuting with the conventional bosonic noise operator describing the polarization current fluctuations in dielectric media. In addition to allowing the detailed description of field fluctuations, our methods provide practical tools for modeling optical energy transfer and the formation of thermal balance in general dielectric and magnetic nanodevices. We use the QFED to investigate the magnetic properties of microcavity systems to demonstrate an example geometry in which it is possible to probe fields arising from the electric and magnetic source terms. We show that, as a consequence of the magnetic Purcell effect, the tuning of the position of an emitter layer placed inside a vacuum cavity can make the emissivity of a magnetic emitter to exceed the emissivity of a corresponding electric emitter.

description: The learning process for multi layered neural networks with many nodes makes heavy demands on computational resources. In some neural network models, the learning formulas, such as the Widrow-Hoff formula, do not change the eigenvectors of the weight matrix while flatting the eigenvalues. In infinity, this iterative formulas result in terms formed by the principal components of the weight matrix: i.e., the eigenvectors corresponding to the non-zero eigenvalues. In quantum computing, the phase estimation algorithm is known to provide speed-ups over the conventional algorithms for the eigenvalue-related problems. Combining the quantum amplitude amplification with the phase estimation algorithm, a quantum implementation model for artificial neural networks using the Widrow-Hoff learning rule is presented. The complexity of the model is found to be linear in the size of the weight matrix. This provides a quadratic improvement over the classical algorithms.

description: In this paper we investigated the development of the proving process within a dynamic geometry environment in order to provide tertiary students with a strategy for proving. As a result, we classified different levels of proving and designed an interactive help system corresponding with these levels. This help system makes a contribution to bridge the cognitive gaps between conjecture and proof. We also propose three basic conditions for understanding the development of the proving process.

description: Objetivo. Esta pesquisa testa empiricamente se o significado do trabalho modera a relação entre as perceções de liderança ética e a satisfação no trabalho. A relação entre liderança e satisfação dos colaboradores tem sido estudada por muitos investigadores em diversos contextos, sobretudo na área da saúde, do ensino e em organizações com fins lucrativos, sendo escassos os estudos aplicados no sector social. Embora seja profícua a investigação que considera a liderança e a satisfação, é menos frequente aquela que: (a) considera a liderança ética, (b) considera as perceções de colaboradores do sector social. Metodologia. A amostra abarca 97 colaboradores (90% do género feminino, 45% com o 9.º ano de escolaridade, 28% com o secundário e 27% com um curso superior, 14% desempenham funções de chefia) provenientes de três Instituições Particulares de Solidariedade Social. A idade média dos inquiridos cifra-se nos 43,8 anos (DP: 11,1) e a antiguidade média em 11,1 anos (DP: 7,7). A liderança ética foi estudada com a escala de De Hoogh e Den Hartog, (2008), abarcando três dimensões: moralidade e justiça, clarificação do papel dos colaboradores, e partilha de poder. A satisfação foi medida através da escala de Fields (2002). O significado no trabalho foi medido através dos itens propostos por Rego e Cunha (2013). Controlou-se o efeito do género, da idade, das habilitações académicas, da antiguidade na organização, da antiguidade na relação com o líder, do tipo de vínculo, e do exercício de funções de chefia. Resultados. Os dados sugerem o seguinte: (a) as perceções de liderança ética influenciam de modo positivo e significativo os níveis de satisfação das pessoas no trabalho; (b) a relação entre a liderança ética e a satisfação é moderada pelo significado no trabalho. Os trabalhadores que sentem que realizam um trabalho com significado para a sua vida e útil para as pessoas e para a sociedade reagem mais fortemente às perceções de liderança ética através de maior satisfação no trabalho. Limitações. Atendendo que todas as variáveis foram obtidas no mesmo instrumento de medida e em simultâneo, os dados podem padecer de problemas relacionados com a variância do método comum. Trabalhos futuros devem investigar a existência de variáveis mediadoras na relação entre as perceções de liderança e os níveis de satisfação.

description: The environmental production of handmade carpets considering the application of natural materials; fibers, dyes, and mordants helps us benefit from the advantages of using renewable sources of raw materials. Metal salts are frequently employed as mordants to improve the fastness qualities. This article aims to investigate the yellow appearance of handmade carpets achieved by applying biomordants instead of metallic ones through spectral and colorimetric analysis. This method involved using reseda as a natural dye, yellow and black myrobalan as biomordants, and alum as a metallic mordant. After pre-mordanting and dyeing of the wool yarns, the achieved colors, color strengths, and key fastness properties were compared. The findings showed that using biomordants leads to appropriate color strengths and fastness qualities in addition to expanding the color gamut. Gratefully, the outcomes of current research guarantee to achieve the yellow appearance in Iranian handmade carpets through totally the novel eco-friendly procedure.

Degrees of virtue: inculcating a professional academic habitus in the field of post 1992 higher education

Teacher training in HE
Mixed methods methodology

description: This study aims to contribute original knowledge of the identity of post-1992 academics to inform the debate surrounding the professionalization of higher education teachers. The setting was a modem university in the East Midlands. Bourdieusian theoretical conceptualizations of the mediated relations between agency and structure (habitus/field theory) were applied to deconstruct/reconstruct the nature of these relations within the university's academic workforce. This investigation revealed disjunctions amongst staff members. The study's findings suggest that these might be addressed through structured training in the logic of practice for recruits. Bourdieu [1930-2002] developed a mixed methods methodology, combining positivist and phenomenological research paradigms to ensure breadth and depth in ethical data interrogations. This approach informed the sequential mixed design of the study. The first phase (survey) elicited profile and benchmarking data and perceptions of field forces and conditions from sixty respondents. Most lacked teaching qualifications or experience on entry. The second phase (fifteen interviews) captured personal narratives for subsequent thematic analysis. Current evaluation of primary data indicates three significant trajectories analyses: effective actionlbehaviour arising from the meaningful convergence of the individual's competences (mapped as habitus), the organizational environment (field) and the job's demands (practice). Data filtration through these lenses uncovered destabilizing divergences. Significantly, most participants eschewed identification as an 'academic'; seeing themselves as first and foremost a teacher. Their key concerns were negative perceptions of management and student demands as threats to personal efficacy, thus an accredited teacher training programme instilling a dual professionalism was broadly welcomed. This study provides timely sociological perspectives on the government's recent positive correlation between funding and new staff accreditation. Institutional reliance upon existing and contract staff, however, suggests their training needs warrant further investigation. This thesis argues for such training to make explicit the science of pedagogy and the art of teaching to all teaching staff through the conscious integration of habitus/field theory in higher education teacher training. In this way, both agent and field are strengthened, to their mutual advantage.

description: A genetic analysis of samples from the Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) bycatch of the 2016 Bering Sea-Aleutian Island (BSAI) trawl fishery for walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus) was undertaken to determine the overall stock composition of the bycatch. Samples were genotyped for 43 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) DNA markers and results were estimated using the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) SNP baseline. In 2016, genetic samples from the Bering Sea were collected using a systematic random sampling protocol where one out of every 10 Chinook salmon encountered was sampled. Based on the analysis of 1,910 Chinook salmon bycatch samples collected throughout the 2016 BSAI walleye pollock trawl fishery, Coastal Western Alaska and British Columbia regions (34% and 29% respectively) dominated the sample set with smaller contributions from West Coast US (14%), and North Alaska Peninsula (13%) regions. Analysis of temporal groupings within the pollock "A" and "B" seasons revealed changes in stock composition during the course of the year with lower contributions of Coastal Western Alaska and North Alaska Peninsula regions and higher contributions of West Coast US, British Columbia, and NW Gulf of Alaska, regions during the "B" season when compared to the "A" season.

description: We suggest a microscopic model describing the nonlocal ac response of a pair of Majorana states in fermionic superfluids beyond the tunneling approximation. The time-dependent perturbations of quasiparticle transport are shown to excite finite period beating of the wavefunction between the distant Majorana states. We propose an experimental test to measure the characteristic time scales of quasiparticle transport through the pair of Majorana states defining, thus, quantitative characteristics of nonlocality known to be a generic feature of Majorana particles.

description: In this study, to combine the biological properties of lanolin and the advantages of electrospun nanofiber mats for developing a potent topical wound dressing/nursing pads that includes lanolin, lanolin incorporated electrospun cellulose acetate (CA), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyethylene oxide/chitosan (PEO/chitosan) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanofibers were developed and characterized. Surface tension, viscosity and conductivity measurements of each polymer solution were carried out in order to characterize the spinning solutions. Lanolin addition did not affect the conductivity values but increase the viscosity of each spinning solution. According to the SEM images, smooth nanofiber surfaces were produced which could be appropriate for a top layer of a nursing pad. Slightly attached, thicker nanofibers could be seen from the TPU/Lanolin images. Similar to TPU nanofibers, CA nanofibers were smoother and thinner than CA/Lanolin nanofibers. Lanolin effected the uniformity of the PEO nanofibers, but it could be said that homogeneous distribution of lanolin was achieved. Characterization of these nanofiber membranes were also carried out with FTIR, DSC, swelling and weight loss analysis. Since TPU nanofibers were hydrophobic and the addition of lanolin made the nanofiber more hydrophobic, they did not show high swelling ratios. CA nanofibers swelled 610% due to their relatively hydrophilic nature and bulky structure. PEO nanofibers were totally dissolved in the water, a very thin layer remained for PEO-Chitosan/lanolin nanofibers. So, using electrospun CA and TPU nanofiber membranes for a nursing pad upper layer could be suitable. CA/lanolin nanofibers showed better hydrophilicity and swelling when compared to TPU nanofibers. On the other hand, TPU nanofibers are more elastic and durable with lower swelling.

description: The aim of this review is to provide a concise overview of some of the generic approaches that have been developed to deal with the statistical description of large systems of interacting dissipative 'units'. The latter notion includes, e.g., inelastic grains, active or self-propelled particles, bubbles in a foam, low-dimensional dynamical systems like driven oscillators, or even spatially extended modes like Fourier modes of the velocity field in a fluid for instance. We first review methods based on the statistical properties of a single unit, starting with elementary mean-field approximations, either static or dynamic, that describe a unit embedded in a 'self-consistent' environment. We then discuss how this basic mean-field approach can be extended to account for spatial dependences, in the form of space-dependent mean-field Fokker-Planck equations for example. We also briefly review the use of kinetic theory in the framework of the Boltzmann equation, which is an appropriate description for dilute systems. We then turn to descriptions in terms of the full $N$-body distribution, starting from exact solutions of one-dimensional models, using a Matrix Product Ansatz method when correlations are present. Since exactly solvable models are scarce, we also present some approximation methods that can be used to determine the $N$-body distribution in a large system of dissipative units. These methods include the Edwards approach for dense granular matter and the approximate treatment of multiparticle Langevin equations with coloured noise, which models systems of self-propelled particles. Throughout this review, emphasis is put on methodological aspects of the statistical modeling and on formal similarities between different physical problems, rather than on the specific behaviour of a given system.

description: Computer vision is widely used in fabric texture recognition. In this paper, a new method based on double-sided fusion of reflection image and transmission image is proposed for recognition and analysis of fabric texture. The yarn location is obtained through transmission image, and fabric texture is obtained through reflection image. The position information of weave floats obtained by gray projection on the transmission image is given to the reflection image for classification and color recognition of weave floats. In the stage of weave float classification, an improved KNN algorithm based on FCM is proposed. First, FCM is used to cluster the HOG features of the two types of floats respectively to obtain new cluster centers, and then KNN is used for classification to obtain the weave patterns. In the stage of color recognition, the K-means clustering algorithm is used on a single weave float to obtain the color pattern. Based on the two attributes of a single point obtained from the above two patterns, a system of bidirectional error correction is designed. Experimental results show that this method effectively improves the recognition accuracy of yarn-dyed fabrics which interlaced yarns are different colors without color and texture disturbed to the greatest extent.

description: We consider Toeplitz operators $T_f^λ$ with symbol $f$ acting on the standard weighted Bergman spaces over a bounded symmetric domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{C}^n$. Here $λ> genus-1$ is the weight parameter. The classical asymptotic semi-commutator relation $\lim_{λ\rightarrow \infty} \big{\|}T_f^λ T_g^λ -T_{fg}^λ \big{\|}=0$ with $f,g \in C(\overline{\mathbb{B}^n})$, where $Ω=\mathbb{B}^n$ denotes the complex unit ball, is extended to larger classes of bounded and unbounded operator symbol-functions and to more general domains. We deal with operator symbols that generically are neither continuous inside $Ω$ (Section 4) nor admit a continuous extension to the boundary (Section 3 and 4). Let $β$ denote the Bergman metric distance function on $Ω$. We prove that the semi-commutator relation remains true for $f$ and $g$ in the space ${\rm UC}(Ω)$ of all $β$-uniformly continuous functions on $Ω$. Note that this space contains also unbounded functions. In case of the complex unit ball $Ω=\mathbb{B}^n \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ we show that the semi-commutator relation holds true for bounded symbols in ${\rm VMO}(\mathbb{B}^n)$, where the vanishing oscillation inside $\mathbb{B}^n$ is measured with respect to $β$. At the same time the semi-commutator relation fails for generic bounded measurable symbols. We construct a corresponding counterexample using oscillating symbols that are continuous outside of a single point in $Ω$.

Subjects: subject: Systems and Control (eess.SY)
subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: In this work a theory is developed for unifying large classes of nonlinear discrete-time dynamical systems obeying a superposition of a weighted maximum or minimum type. The state vectors and input-output signals evolve on nonlinear spaces which we call complete weighted lattices and include as special cases the nonlinear vector spaces of minimax algebra. Their algebraic structure has a polygonal geometry. Some of the special cases unified include max-plus, max-product, and probabilistic dynamical systems. We study problems of representation in state and input-output spaces using lattice monotone operators, state and output responses using nonlinear convolutions, solving nonlinear matrix equations using lattice adjunctions, stability and controllability. We outline applications in state-space modeling of nonlinear filtering; dynamic programming (Viterbi algorithm) and shortest paths (distance maps); fuzzy Markov chains; and tracking audio-visual salient events in multimodal information streams using generalized hidden Markov models with control inputs.

title: Erotic Responsiveness: An Ethics of Auto/biographical Art-Writing
Creators: name: Georgiou, Diana
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2019

description: This thesis examines the relationship between auto/biographical art-writing and subjectivity by analysing the work of contemporary writers and poets. I frame art-writing as a psychophysical process that generates an erotic response to artwork. Through this framing, I develop an ethics of auto/biographical art-writing drawing from models of subjectivity that follow a relational ontology. I turn to feminist theories of affect and psychoanalysis as critical methodologies to invent an exploration of subjectivity catalyzed by the process of auto/biographical art-writing. For affect theory, I am mainly informed by philosopher and social-political theorist Teresa Brennan’s conceptualisation of affect as the physical transmission of energy between individuals and groups. The main psychoanalytic framework I employ draws from psychoanalyst, artist and theorist Bracha L. Ettinger’s conceptualisation of a Matrixial psychoanalysis that highlights the ‘nonconscious’ dimension of affect and aesthetics, amongst other important psychoanalytic developments. For the term ‘auto/biography’ I turn to feminist philosopher Adriana Cavarero, who proposes that the individual is essentially relational, co-affected and achieves temporary unity through hearing their life-story narrated by an other person. For the purposes of this research, auto/biographical narratives illustrate the singularity and uniqueness of the encounter between the artwork and the storyteller. I argue that personal memory and nonconscious activity create the conditions for an erotic response to an artwork’s ethical demand for what Teresa Brennan calls ‘living attention.’ That is, the dynamic exchange of affects and energy whose economy is primarily nonconscious, life-driven (Eros), and imprints subjectivity at the start of psychic life (pre-natal). By combining the theoretical advances of these three authors, I formulate a distinct model of relating to aesthetic experience and ensuing auto/biographical art-writing which I term erotic responsiveness. Following an analysis of writing by authors who employ auto/biographical methodologies to convey their aesthetic experiences, this research develops a broader framework for contemporary critical thinking about personal narratives, their uses in art-writing, and how they inform subjectivity.

description: In recent years the number of students transitioning out of mainstream education and into forms of alternative education has increased (Welsh Government, 2022). Cumulatively such rationales relate to mainstream schools not meeting the needs of students that are unlikely to contribute to the school’s finances or status (Pennacchia and Thomson, 2016). Within the UK, a form of alternative education deemed more supportive and better able to meet the needs of disengaged students is alternative education provisions. However, some contest the effectiveness of such provisions in relation to students’ outcomes (e.g., O’Connor, 2012; Department for Education, 2018b). Yet, such research has largely relied on adults’ perspectives (e.g., parents and teachers) even when specifying an exploration of student experiences (Gobourn, 2022). The current research therefore utilised student voice to conceptualise students daily lived experiences within an alternative education provision. To achieve this, ethnographic methods including reflections, observational fieldnotes and individual interviews were adopted. Observations included attending one South Wales alternative education provision for 603.5 hours over two academic years. During data collection, seven students were attending the provision, although one student opted out of the interview. A reflexive thematic analysis identified five themes relating to students’ experiences which included lacking awareness of alternative education provision, the importance of the right people, a preference for alternative education provision over mainstream schooling, greater outcomes by attending alternative education provision and a series of barriers and challenges to the daily operations within the provision. Implications for practice from these results include raising awareness of alternative education provision to students who may benefit from attending. Additionally, future directions for research are outlined relating to factors students highlighted as important throughout their educational experience. To address the criticisms and challenges of ethnography, a reflexive account is presented which provides novel approaches to conducting ethnography with similar samples.

description: The non-stationary nature of image characteristics calls for adaptive processing, based on the local image content. We propose a simple and flexible method to learn local tuning of parameters in adaptive image processing: we extract simple local features from an image and learn the relation between these features and the optimal filtering parameters. Learning is performed by optimizing a user defined cost function (any image quality metric) on a training set. We apply our method to three classical problems (denoising, demosaicing and deblurring) and we show the effectiveness of the learned parameter modulation strategies. We also show that these strategies are consistent with theoretical results from the literature.
Budidaya Cacing Laor di Maluku: Antara Mimpi dan Kenyataan

description: Musim laor akhirnya tiba (14/03/09). Akan tetapi, mengapa masyarakat Maluku harus menunggu selama satu tahun untuk bisa mengkonsumsi biota khas perairan Maluku tersebut? Tidakkah pernah terbersit dalam benak mereka untuk dapat membudidayakannya? Juga, tidakkah mereka ingin menjadikan laor sebagai ‘menu istimewa hari ini’ di restoran-restoran sea food Ambon sebagai santapan khas Maluku? Lebih lanjut, pernahkah Pemda Maluku berambisi untuk dapat mengekspor cacing tersebut sebagai pakan ikan dan udang tinggi protein seperti yang telah dilakukannya pada beberapa sumber daya lokalnya? Bukankah laor adalah salah satu ikon dari provinsi kepulauan ini? Mengapa sampai saat ini belum juga ada usaha untuk membudidayakannya?

description: The technique of coherent Raman (optically) detected electron paramagnetic resonance (ODEPR), is a relatively new method for the investigation of electronic structure. In this thesis the technique is implemented with a microwave frequency of 35 GHz for the first time. Two continuous wave (cw) ODEPR spectrometers have been built (14 and 35 GHz). Pulsed microwave excitation is possible at 14 GHz. The application to ruby demonstrates the working of the technique and the equipment. When ODEPR is used to analyse metalloproteins, conventional methods like electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) are additionally needed. These have also been implemented and they are demonstrated on myoglobin (Mb).

description: Endoscopy is a medical procedure, where a physician uses an optical instrument called an "endoscope" to obtain a magnified view of the inner surface of hollow organs and to access the tissue through surgical tools. An endoscope is a flexible tube, which is inserted into the body through either natural body openings or small incisions. Flexible endoscopy often results in a better outcome for the patient as opposed to open surgery. However, this technique also presents increased challenges to the physician and therefore often necessitates intraoperative guidance. This dissertation presents a new approach to the intraoperative guidance of flexible endoscopy. It proposes to calculate a patient specific "protocol" prior to the intervention to achieve a sensor­less guidance during the procedure. This protocol prescribes in detail how to handle the endoscope and tools in order to successfully perform an endoscopic procedure. During the intervention, the physician executes the protocol, by setting endoscope and tools to the prescribed configuration. The calculation of the protocol is based on three components: (1) A 3D model of the target anatomy derived from a CT/MRI scan of the patient, (2) a deformable model representing the endoscope and (3) a virtual endoscopy system. These components are combined to simulate an endoscopic procedures and to estimate a set of endoscope parameters. This general approach is validated for an endoscopic procedure called "Transbronchial Needle Aspiration" (TBNA), which involves the "blind" placement of a needle into a target. Based on a set of candidate shapes for the real endoscope obtained from the endoscope model, an "optimal" needle placement strategy is presented that maximizes the probability of success for TBNAs.

description: This thesis consists of three chapters on empirical corporate finance. In chapter one, I examine how CEO overconfidence affects firms’ choice of debt issuance. I find that firms with overconfident CEOs issue more bank loans than public bonds. The second chapter examines the effect of organization capital on corporate debt structure. I find that firms with higher organization capital rely more on unsecured debt. In chapter three, I examine the primary bond market’s reaction to banks’ incentives and ability toward managing the expected loan default problem during COVID-19. I find that loan loss provisions capture banks’ precautionary behavior during the pandemic.
