title: Sense-making and authorising in the organisation of mental health care
Creators: name: Ormrod, Susan
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2002

description: This study narrates the organisation of mental health care via an ethnographic case study of a NHS Trust mental health directorate in England in the 1990s, during implementation of the Care Programme Approach (CPA). It seeks to understand how things are organised such that someone gets treated, by someone; in some way, and how far this mode of organisation commits people to courses of action and makes them accountable. Various stories are told - in different ways, using different theoretical frameworks, and pitched at different levels of analysis. The thesis deploys two 'ontological themes' to do this: sense-making and authorising. Sense-making refers to the processes of how people understand and act; authorising refers to the limits and stabilisation of sense-making, the fixing and legitimation of versions of the truth. The systems story of organisation narrates a gap between what was anticipated by government policy by introducing the CPA, and what happened, with regard to systems of care and forms of responsibility and accountability. 'The teamwork story narrates organising as accomplished through daily work practice. A ceremonial order in team meetings of primus inter pares results in different kinds of responsibility and accountability to that indicated in the CPA. The patienthood story narrates how people are transformed into objects of mental health work. Becoming a psychiatric patient is more diffuse than much labelling theory presumes. and is the product of specific forms of organisation. The thesis concludes by discussing the kind of organisation that allows for more or less authorised versions of what has been, and what should be, done. It suggests two ideal-typical forms of organisation, different kinds of 'structural context' within which organising may take place. The thesis produces two 'grand narratives' with regard to organisation: one, about the structure-process distinction; the other, about the evaluative nature of tales.

description: Numerical simulation of viscoelastic flows is challenging because of the hyperbolic nature of viscoelastic constitutive equations. Despite their superior accuracy and efficiency, pseudo-spectral methods require the introduction of artificial diffusion (AD) for numerical stability in hyperbolic problems, which alters the physical nature of the system. This study presents a hybrid numerical procedure that integrates an upwind total variation diminishing (TVD) finite-difference scheme, which is known for its stability in hyperbolic problems, for the polymer stress convection term into an overall pseudo-spectral numerical framework. Numerically stable solutions are obtained for Weissenberg number well beyond O(100) without the need for either global or local AD. Side-by-side comparison with an existing pseudo-spectral code reveals the impact of AD, which is shown to differ drastically between flow regimes. Elastoinertial turbulence (EIT) becomes unphysically suppressed when AD, at any level necessary for stabilizing the pseudo-spectral method, is used. This is attributed to the importance of sharp stress shocks in its self-sustaining cycles. Nevertheless , in regimes dominated by the classical inertial mechanism for turbulence generation, there is still an acceptable range of AD that can be safely used to predict the statistics, dynamics, and structures of drag-reduced turbulence. Detailed numerical resolution analysis of the new hybrid method, especially for capturing the EIT states, is also presented.

description: This study provides a decision framework to analyze optimal production diversification decisions under uncertainty for a farmer who is risk averse in the Arrow-Pratt sense and downside risk averse. The decision model accounts for the third central moment of the joint distribution of portfolio returns. This is relevant for asymmetrical return distributions. This general model contains the classical decision model as a special case. The benefit of the proposed generalization is that each competing behavioral hypothesis is discerned econometrically through the significance of the agent’s coefficient of absolute and/or relative downside risk aversion.

description: We investigated the kinetics of H(II) centers (=Ge'-H) in natural silica under repeated 266nm UV irradiations performed by a Nd:YAG pulsed laser. UV photons temporarily destroy these paramagnetic defects, their reduction being complete within 250 pulses. After re-irradiation, H(II) centers grow again, and the observed recovery kinetics depends on the irradiation dose; multiple 2000 pulses re-irradiations induce the same post-irradiation kinetics of H(II) centers after each exposure cycle. The analysis of these effects allows us to achieve a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the centers during and after laser irradiation.

description: Choice experiments have become an important tool to provide guidance about the value of environmental goods and services. Several evidences, however, are pointing toward an important mismatch between the rationality principles assumed by this methodology and real respondents’ behaviour, what may be giving rise to inconsistent choices. This paper studies the effects of such inconsistencies by using data from an online survey aimed at valuing the environmental impacts of organic farming in mountainous olive groves. The results are analysed by means of three random parameter models and provide evidence on the necessity to appropriately consider and treat choice inconsistencies as a result of their influence on welfare estimates.

description: We report experimental data on two types of natural silica, differing for their OH content, irradiated with UV photons (4.66 eV) from a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. Irradiation induces a reduction of the absorption band at 5.12eV and of the associated emissions at 3.14eV and 4.28eV, ascribed to twofold coordinated Ge (=Ge'') centers pre-existing in our samples. The bleaching is mainly due to the post-irradiation conversion of =Ge'' into the paramagnetic H(II) center via trapping of a H atom. Comparison with literature data points out the peculiarities of silica with a low Ge concentration as regards UV induced transformations.

description: It has recently been suggested that Planck scale physics may effect the evolution of cosmological fluctuations in the early stages of cosmological inflation in a non-trivial way, leading to an excited state for modes whose wavelength is super-Planck but sub-Hubble. In this case, the issue of how this excited state back-reacts on the background space-time arises. In fact, it has been suggested that such back-reaction effects may lead to tight constraints on the magnitude of possible deviations from the usual predictions of inflation. In this note we discuss some subtle aspects of this back-reaction issue and point out that rather than preventing inflation, the back-reaction of ultraviolet fluctuations may simply lead to a renormalization of the cosmological constant driving inflation.

description: We consider black hole interiors of arbitrary genus number within the paradigm of non-commutative geometry. The study is performed in two ways: One way is a simple smearing of a matter distribution within the black hole. The resulting structure is often known in the literature as a "model inspired by non-commutative geometry". The second method involves a more fundamental approach, in which the Hamiltonian formalism is utilized and a non-trivial Poisson bracket is introduced between the configuration degrees of freedom, as well as between the canonical momentum degrees of freedom. This is done in terms of connection variables instead of the more common ADM variables. Connection variables are utilized here since non-commutative effects are usually inspired from the quantum theory, and it is the connection variables that are used in some of the more promising modern theories of quantum gravity. We find that in the first study, the singularity of the black holes can easily be removed. In the second study, we find that introducing a non-trivial bracket between the connections (the configuration variables) may delay the singularity, but not necessarily eliminate it. However, by introducing a non-trivial bracket between the densitized triads (the canonical momentum variables) the singularity can generally be removed. In some cases, new horizons also appear due to the non-commutativity.

description: The semileptonic decay of the neutral K meson, KL -> pi e nu (Ke3), was used to study the strangeness-changing weak interaction of hadrons. A sample of 5.6 million reconstructed events recorded by the NA48 experiment was used to measure the Dalitz plot density. Admitting all possible Lorentz-covariant couplings, the form factors for vector (f_+(q^2)), scalar (f_S) and tensor (f_T) interactions were measured. The linear slope of the vector form factor lambda_+ = 0.0284+-0.0007+-0.0013 and values for the ratios |f_S/f_+(0)| = 0.015^{+0.007}_{-0.010}+-0.012 and |f_T/f_+(0)| = 0.05^{+0.03}_{-0.04}+-0.03 were obtained. The values for f_S and f_T are consistent with zero. Assuming only Vector-Axial vector couplings, lambda_+ = 0.0288+-0.0004+-0.0011 and a good fit consistent with pure V-A couplings were obtained. Alternatively, a fit to a dipole form factor yields a pole mass of M = 859+-18 MeV, consistent with the K^*(892) mass.

Berry production and red-backed voles at Kluane Lake, Yukon Territory
Creators: name: Cowcill, Kevan Anthony
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Northern red-backed vole populations peak two to three years after snowshoe hare populations peak. Snowshoe hares cycle on a 9 to 11 year cycle and produced a large quantity of fecal pellets in their peak years. The fecal nutrient enrichment hypothesis surmises nitrogen (N) that is released from these pellets is captured by shrubs whose berries are critical food sources for the red-backed voles. These shrubs use the N to produce a large crop of berries that will provide an overwintering food supply for the voles, and reduce their overwintering mortality, resulting in an increase in red-backed vole densities in the spring. To simulate N levels provided by hare pellets I added 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 17.5 g N/m² to 60 plots each of Empetrum nigrum, Arctostaphylos rubra, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Shepherdia canadensis, and Geocaulon lividum in 2004 and 2005 to determine if I could produce an abundant berry crop in 2005. Only E. nigrum had a significant increase in berry production at 1.0 g N/m². Weather conditions in 2005 were probably responsible for the lack of significant response in the other plants. Data from 9 years of berry production indices and northern red-backed vole numbers indicate a strong positive correlation (r = 0.92) between the combined berry production of E. nigrum, S. canadensis and A. rubra and vole densities in the following years.

description: The aim of the paper is to evaluate the creditworthiness of farmers as a group of credit takers in comparison to a group of individual entrepreneurs. As a proxy of creditworthiness, the share of impaired credits in total debt was taken. The analyses showed that farmers’ creditworthiness is much higher than individual entrepreneurs. This phenomenon stems from the fact that the farm is an economic base for the existence of farmer’s household and the farmer generally does his best to repay debt even at cost of consumption. The regular income subsidies under the CAP are the other reason. Moreover, the additional sanctions connected to repayment of the preferential credits discipline farmers who taken such credits.
title: The Construction of Shared Knowledge through Asynchronous Dialogue
Creators: name: Ferguson, Rebecca M.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: This thesis investigates how groups of learners use asynchronous dialogue to build shared knowledge together over time. To do this, it takes a sociocultural approach, with a situated focus on learners' social and temporal settings as well as on the tools they employ. It utilises concepts developed to support understanding of knowledge co-construction in face- to-face environments, particularly the social modes of thinking identified by Mercer and his colleagues (Mercer, 1995, 2000, 2002; Mercer & Littleton, 2007; Mercer & Wegerif, 1999) and the improvable objects described by Wells (1999). Analysis shows that, over short periods of time, groups of learners construct shared vocabulary, history and understanding slowly through the use of a series of discursive devices including those identified here as 'constructive synthesis', the 'proposal pattern' and 'powerful synthesis'. Over longer periods they may engage in 'attached dialogue', a form of asynchronous dialogue that is mediated by improvable objects. The development of these improvable objects involves learners engaging in exploratory dialogue that builds into progressive discourse, a coordinated form of co-reasoning in language. While doing this, they actively work to avoid unproductive interaction by consistently shifting responsibility from the individual to the group. Previous studies have suggested that asynchronous dialogue may act to limit learners to cumulative exchanges (Littleton & Whitelock, 2005; Wegerif, 1998). The analysis over time presented here shows that asynchronous exchanges are enriched by the use of textual affordances that are not available in speech. In the case of attached dialogue, groups of learners are prompted to share knowledge, challenge ideas, justify opinions, evaluate evidence and consider options in a reasoned and equitable way. They do this more successfully when their co-construction of knowledge is not solely task-focused but also focuses on tool use and on the development of social knowledge about the group.

description: This paper considers arbitrary document detection performed on a mobile device. The classical contour-based approach often fails in cases featuring occlusion, complex background, or blur. The region-based approach, which relies on the contrast between object and background, does not have application limitations, however, its known implementations are highly resource-consuming. We propose a modification of the contour-based method, in which the competing contour location hypotheses are ranked according to the contrast between the areas inside and outside the border. In the experiments, such modification allows for the decrease of alternatives ordering errors by 40% and the decrease of the overall detection errors by 10%. The proposed method provides unmatched state-of-the-art performance on the open MIDV-500 dataset, and it demonstrates results comparable with state-of-the-art performance on the SmartDoc dataset.

In the models, one can make reasonable estimates of physical quantities like the Higgs mass and the size of oblique corrections, using a correspondence to super Yang-Mills theory in the Corrigan-Ramond limit. The models predict a surprisingly light Higgs of mass, $m_H=150\sim 500 {\rm GeV}$ and have naturally small $S$ parameter.

description: It is hard to overemphasize the importance of endosymbionts in arthropod biology, ecology and evolution. Some endosymbionts can complement host metabolic function or provide defence against pathogens; others, such as ubiquitous Wolbachia and Cardinium, have evolved strategies to manipulate host reproduction. A common reproductive manipulation strategy is cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) between infected males and uninfected females which can result in female mortality or male development of fertilized eggs in haplodiploid hosts. Recently, an additional role of endosymbionts has been recognized in the modification of sex allocation in haplodiploids. This was theoretically expected due to the maternal inheritance of endosymbionts and natural selection for them to increase infected female production, yet the underlying mechanism remained unknown. Here, we tested whether and how Cardinium and Wolbachia causing different CI types interact to increase female production in a haplodiploid thrips species where sex allocation depends on both maternal condition and egg size provisioning. We found that Cardinium augmented female production by increasing maternal fitness and egg size, thereby boosting fertilization rate and offspring fitness. Wolbachia, in contrast, reduced the beneficial effects of Cardinium. Our results demonstrate different invasion strategies and antagonistic effects of endosymbiotic bacteria on host fitness and evolution of sex allocation.

title: The design and evaluation of Link: a CAL system designed to address psychology students' misconceptions about correlation
Creators: name: Morris, Erica Jane
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: This thesis describes the design, development and evaluation of Link, a computerassisted learning program for correlation, which is targeted at psychology students in higher education. Computer technology is being increasingly used on statistics courses, suggesting that computer-assisted learning programs on statistical concepts will be increasingly used by students in higher education. To inform the design of Link, an empirical study was conducted to investigate students’ difficulties with correlation. It was found that psychology students held misconceptions relating to negative correlations, the strength of correlations and that they infer causality. The design of Link was also informed by research-based principles of learning, research and developments in computer-assisted learning and a review of computer-assisted learning programs that cover correlation. A formative evaluation study involving eighteen psychology students found that having used the program, students’ general understanding of correlation was significantly improved. Unlike previously existing computer-assisted learning programs that were reviewed, Link makes use of data from two authentic studies in psychology. In addition. Link provides learner activities specifically designed to address students’ misconceptions about correlation. A summative evaluation study of Link involving fifty psychology students was undertaken to assess the effect on students’ understanding of correlation. The findings of this evaluation provided further qualitative data on students’ misconceptions. Moreover, it was found that the use of Link significantly contributed to students’ general understanding of correlation.

description: In Poland, after the introduction of the principles of free market economy, a significant decline in capital expenditures and an increase in consumption of fixed capital in agriculture has been seen. The paper presents the size and type of capital expenditure in households participating in the accounting system FADN with regard to field and under cover vegetables. In the investigated farms in the period 2000-2010 were carried out investment activities in all areas. The largest investments were made in buildings and machinery, which proves the modernization of production processes, and to a lesser extent the scale of production. The result of the investment in the surveyed farms was an increase in productivity and profitability. These households have sufficient resources to finance the investments. The main source of investing were own funds and bank credit, a small range of funds from the EU were used.

The data, collected with the Run II DO detector, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 224-252 pb^-1 depending on the final state (ee, emu or mumu). We observe 25 candidates with a background expectation of 8.1+/-0.6(stat)+/-0.6(syst)+/-0.5(lum) events. The probability for an upward fluctuation of the background to produce the observed signal is 2.3x10^-7, equivalent to 5.2 standard deviations.The measurement yields a cross section of 13.8+4.3/-3.8(stat)+1.2/-0.9(syst)+/-0.9(lum) pb, in agreement with predictions from the standard model.

description: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-scale radio pulses, which originate in distant galaxies and are produced by unknown sources. The mystery remains partially because of the typical difficulty in localising FRBs to host galaxies. Accurate localisations delivered by the Commensal Real-time ASKAP Fast Transients (CRAFT) survey now provide an opportunity to study the host galaxies and potential transient counterparts of FRBs at a large range of wavelengths. In this work, we investigate whether the first three FRBs accurately localised by CRAFT have supernova-like transient counterparts. We obtained two sets of imaging epochs with the Very Large Telescope for three host galaxies, one soon after the burst detection and one several months later. After subtracting these images no optical counterparts were identified in the associated FRB host galaxies, so we instead place limits on the brightness of any potential optical transients. A Monte Carlo approach, in which supernova light curves were modelled and their base properties randomised, was used to estimate the probability of a supernova associated with each FRB going undetected. We conclude that Type Ia and IIn supernovae are unlikely to accompany every apparently non-repeating FRB.

description: In recent years, the popularity of fingerprint-based biometric authentication systems significantly increased. However, together with many advantages, biometric systems are still vulnerable to presentation attacks (PAs). In particular, this applies for unsupervised applications, where new attacks unknown to the system operator may occur. Therefore, presentation attack detection (PAD) methods are used to determine whether samples stem from a bona fide subject or from a presentation attack instrument (PAI). In this context, most works are dedicated to solve PAD as a two-class classification problem, which includes training a model on both bona fide and PA samples. In spite of the good detection rates reported, these methods still face difficulties detecting PAIs from unknown materials. To address this issue, we propose a new PAD technique based on autoencoders (AEs) trained only on bona fide samples (i.e. one-class), which are captured in the short wave infrared domain. On the experimental evaluation over a database of 19,711 bona fide and 4,339 PA images including 45 different PAI species, a detection equal error rate (D-EER) of 2.00% was achieved. Additionally, our best performing AE model is compared to further one-class classifiers (support vector machine, Gaussian mixture model). The results show the effectiveness of the AE model as it significantly outperforms the previously proposed methods.

description: We present a new numerical approach to the study of disorder and interactions in quasi-1D systems which combines aspects of the transfer matrix method and the density matrix renormalization group which have been successfully applied to disorder and interacting problems respectively. The method is applied to spinless fermions in 1D and the existence of a conducting state is demonstrated in the presence of attractive interactions.

description: The obligation of traceability of food and feed in the European Union results from the Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council and the successive acts. Traceability obligation is to restore the road traveled by the product in the logistics chain, identification of raw materials used for its manufacture and its suppliers, in case of detection of any risks or irregularities occurring in it. The aim of the study was to assess the degree of comprehensibility essence of the concept of product tracking (traceability) and the assessment of the level of satisfaction with the conduct of the system implemented in 50 dairy plants selected for testing based on the Polish Classification of Activities (PKD) and the number of persons employed in the enterprise. It was found that entrepreneurs from the dairy industry, and especially the representatives of establishments employing more than 50 employees, are able to interpret the essence of the traceability system. In assessing the level of satisfaction with the input of experts in various stages of milk production system, its traceability, it was found that the highest average grade obtained pasteurization processes (6.27) and packaging (6.06), and the lowest - the stage of adoption of milk (4.26).
title: The development and evaluation of software for teaching reading at primary level
Creators: name: Lewin, Cathy
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: This research is an exploratory study and concerns the effectiveness of specific design features in talking book software. Children need to acquire a variety of skills and strategies to become competent readers and these are commonly taught together in the context of meaningful text. Talking book software, replicating real books with additional features such as sound, has the potential to complement this approach. Common features of such software include word pronunciations, hearing sentences read aloud and page turning facilities. These features could facilitate the scaffolding of reading development. The strengths and weaknesses of commercial software were identified through a pilot study. A survey of practitioners was also conducted to investigate how such software is being used in the classroom and whether talking hooks could be improved. The outcomes of these studies together with a review of the literature were used to inform an innovative design that was implemented. In addition to common features, the implementation also included sub-syllabic word pronunciations, hints to encourage independent word identification and activities to reinforce specific reading skills. Two versions of the software were compared using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies including word recognition measures, interviews, observations and case studies. One software version incorporated commonly available features only and the other was a full implementation of the innovative design. Each version of the software was used daily for a period of four weeks by 16 children, aged 6 to 7 years, in the naturalistic environment of their classrooms. The findings of the study were complex due to variations in learner preferences and reading abilities. Nevertheless, it seems that electronic books can complement teaching approaches in infant classrooms and can positively affect both cognitive and affective learning outcomes. It is evident that children of lower reading ability can benefit from common features alone, such as word pronunciations. Those children using the enhanced software who had already acquired a limited sight vocabulary may benefit from additional features such as reinforcement activities. However, these features were not perceived as being fun by the children in this study. Rather, they were seen as educational tasks. The children who had made the greatest progress in reading development prior to the study made more use of the complex features such as hints to assist them in the decoding of unknown words. This study provided evidence to support the theories of scaffolding and the benefits that can be achieved by aiding learners in the zone of proximal development.
Teaching private governance : a critical analysis of the UN Global Compact
Creators: name: Janes, Tracey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The central purpose of this thesis is to explore the creation and potential role of the UN Global Compact. Conceptualised as a 'multi-stakeholder learning network' with representatives from both the public and private sector, the Global Compact represents a new institutional model that does not fit the traditional categories of international organisations. The problem that emerges is how we understand this type of collective action and its significance is for global governance. The key theoretical question is what direct and indirect factors have influenced the shifts in global governance towards the development of non-traditional governance mechanisms like the Global Compact? The assertion here is that the dual processes of privatisation and corporate social responsibility have legitimised the transfer of material and moral authority to the private sector. This enhanced position has led to the trend, towards cooperative approaches between formerly oppositional groups and in a cyclical fashion these regimes have legitimised private governance. Environmental factors have clearly impacted the design and intention of the Global Compact. The network's directional and operational features, including broad, non-binding principles and an emphasis on learning and information-sharing, reflect a distinct focus within the network on process rather than outcome-oriented goals. It is argued here that the formation of a voluntary, self-regulative, and non-hierarchical model of global governance reflects the institutional limitations and a 'spirit of cooperation' imbedded in the network. As a product of both environmental constraints and normative expectations, the effects of the Global Compact formation are difficult to determine objectively. It will be shown here however, that the potential implications at the micro-level are based on the ability to affect individual firm behaviour or assessment of interest, and at the macro-level come from the Compact's contribution to norm diffusion, the nature of interaction between actors, and the legitimised transfer of authority to the private sector. The final analysis that emerges from this study is that the long-term significance of the UN Global Compact lies in the inclusive and process-oriented design of the network as both an indicator and a contributor to the changes in global governance.

description: The aim of this article is to determine the size of agricultural biogas plants which may arise in farms taking into account the current experience and trends of the Law on renewable energy sources. It was found that only the largest farms (more than 200 heads of cattle and 500 pigs each) can provide sufficient substrates for the operation of a biogas plant with a capacity of 1 MW el. For this reason it seems preferable founded in the draft of RES Law on the promotion of RES installations consumer up to 40 kWel .

description: We address azimuthally modulated Bessel optical lattices imprinted in focusing cubic Kerr-type nonlinear media, and reveal that such lattices support different types of stable solitons, whose complexity increases with growth of lattice order. We reveal that the azimuthally modulated lattices cause single solitons launched tangentially to the guiding rings to jump along consecutive sites of the optical lattice. The position of the output channel can be varied by small changes of the launching angle.
