title: Following up the head injured driver: self versus family assessment.
Creators: name: Newby, Gavin John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1996

description: Driving is an important issue after head injury. This study explores the usefulness of self and family report measures in enhancing our knowledge of head injured peoples' driving. The data was gained from a screening questionnaire given to a head injury clinic cohort and from separate interviews with both head injured drivers and healthy family members.

Fifty head injured people who had driven pre-injury participated in the screen and 18 of those who had returned to driving participated in interviews with a close family member. It was predicted changes compared to pre-injury would be perceived in head injured people's driving across the domains of driving skills, behaviours/attitudes and accident rates. It was further predicted issues of insight would be raised from differences between the perceptions of head injured people themselves and family members.

Respondents suggested driving was an important issue for head injured people regardless of whether they had returned to driving. Despite this, some had not received information or informed the authorities about their head injuries. Three consistent themes were suggested about post-injury driving. Firstly, there was no evidence of perceived declines in basic driving aspects or increased accident rates. Secondly, specific changes were perceived in: variables similar to the residual psychological difficulties of head injury; head injured drivers' attempts to engage in less risky driving; and the amount of anxiety engendered by driving. Thirdly, although less of an issue than expected, single cases were highlighted where insight may have been a problem.

Although interpretation of the results was tempered by methodological considerations, the findings are discussed and the service implications considered. A further longitudinal research programme has been proposed.

description: Ultrafast x-ray scattering experiments are routinely analyzed in terms of the isotropic scattering component. Here we present an analytical method for calculating total isotropic scattering directly from ab initio two-electron densities of ground and excited electronic states. The method is generalized to compute isotropic elastic, inelastic, and coherent mixed scattering. The computational results focus on the potential for differentiating between electronic states and on the composition of the total scattering in terms of elastic and inelastic scattering. By studying the umbrella motion in the first excited state of ammonia, we show that the associated electron density redistribution leaves a comparably constant fingerprint in the total signal that is similar in magnitude to the contribution from the changes in molecular geometry.

Es gibt jedoch bisher keinen wissenschaftlichen Nachweis für den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Verkalkungsgrad von Perlatoren und einem erhöhten Infektionsrisiko. In dieser Promotionsarbeit wurden Perlatoren unterschiedlicher Verkalkungsgrade der Universitätsmedizin Rostock auf ihr Keimspektrum und ihre Keimlast untersucht. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass an den unterschiedlich stark verkalkten Perlatoren die Keimlast nicht statistisch signifikant variiert, das selbe Keimspektrum vorliegt und kaum klinische Pathogene vorkommen.
Multicultural book clubs : exploring cultural identity with young children through literature
Creators: name: Kan, Katharine
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Although educators present many books of excellent literary merit to their students, the scarcity of current multicultural texts for young readers, as well as educators' unfamiliarity with them, lead to this area of literature being overlooked. As student populations change in the schools, classroom teachers are constantly presented with new challenges to address the diverse cultural needs of their students. Issues of cultural adjustment for new immigrants and cross-cultural identity for second generation children are pertinent. Therefore, this study aims to examine two crucial aspects of multicultural literature: How is quality multicultural literature chosen? How can it be taught to increase student awareness of diversity in the world? With a focus on East Asian literature, themes of cross-cultural awareness, identity, and acceptance are explored. Research into existing approaches to teaching multicultural curriculum has identified literature circle studies as an effective means of disseminating values of tolerance and respect. Consequently, a "literature circle study" book list of reviewed picture books and novels at at late primary or early intermediate level, are recommended later in this study. Furthermore, worksheets, in the form of adapted literature circle roles, are also offered to accompany these multicultural texts.

description: Using generic (non)extensive statistics, in which the underlying system autonomously manifests its extensive and nonextensive statistical nature, we extract various fit parameters from the CMS experiment and compare these to the corresponding results obtained from Tsallis and Boltzmann statistics. The present study is designed to indicate the possible variations between the three types of statistical approaches and characterizes their dependence on collision energy, multiplicity, and size of the system of interest. We analyze the transverse momentum spectra $p_T$ of the strange hadrons \Kslxi produced in Pb+Pb collisions, at 2.76 TeV, in p+Pb collisions, at 5.02 TeV, and in $p+p$ collisions, at 7 TeV. From the comparison of the resulting fit parameters; temperature $T$, volume $V$, and nonextensvie parameter $d$, with calculations based on Tsallis and Boltzmann statistics, remarkable differences between the three types of statistics are determined besides a strong dependence on size and type of the colliding system. We conclude that the produced particles with large masses and large strange quantum numbers likely freeze out earlier than the ones with smaller masses and less strange quantum numbers. This conclusion seems not depending on the type of the particle or the collision but apparently manifesting transitions from chemical (larger temperature) to the kinetic freezeouts (lower temperature). For the first university (equivalent) class c=1, the decrease in the second one, $d$, with increasing energy and collision centrality highlights that the system departs from nonextensivity (non-equilibrium) and apparently approaches extensivity (equilibrium) indicating that the Boltzmann statistics becomes the proper statistical approach in describing that system. Last but not least, we present analytical expressions for the energy dependence of the various fit parameters.

Dabei wird die Applikation Travis Go erstmals im Unterricht einer zweiten Sekundarklasse im Niveau C verwendet. Das Unterrichtsthema ist der Imperialismus. Als Leitfrage der Arbeit wurde: «Wie kann ein historischer Inhalt durch den Einsatz der App Travis Go in einer zweiten Sekundarklasse erschlossen werden?» definiert. Diese Leitfrage wurde in die folgenden Fragestellungen gegliedert: «Welche Lernprozesse werden dabei bei den Schülerinnen und Schülern durch die verschiedenen Aufgabentypen ausgelöst?» und «Ist die App Travis Go für Aufgaben in allen vier Handlungsaspekten des Bereichs NMG im Lehrplan 21 geeignet?». Aufbauend auf der Theorie wurde eine Unterrichtseinheit entwickelt, in der verschiedene Filme und Filmausschnitte anhand der App im Unterricht bearbeitet wurden. Für die Datenerhebung wurde die Methode des «Design-Based Research» verwendet. Die Daten der Schülerinnen und Schüler wurden mit einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Dabei wurden die vier Handlungsaspekte als Kategorien verwendet. Es konnte nicht bei allen Schülerinnen und Schülern abschliessend beantwortet werden, ob Lernprozesse stattgefunden haben. Bei einem Teil wurde eindeutig sichtbar, dass durch den Unterricht mittels App Lernprozesse stattgefunden haben. Es wurden Stellen zu allen vier Handlungsaspekten codiert. Dabei ist nicht jeder Handlungsaspekt gleichermassen häufig aufgetreten, sodass Travis Go scheinbar nicht für jeden Handlungsaspekt gleich gut geeignet ist.

description: The South African economy is characterised by low levels of household savings which play a very crucial role in stimulating sustained economic growth. At the same time consumers borrow in order to consume. The paper intends to investigate the impact of household savings and financing on economic growth in South Africa. The study is envisaged to assist monetary authorities and policy makers to mitigate this problem. An annual time series data covering the period from 1980 to 2014 is analysed by means of the Vector Error Correction Model approach. The Johansen Cointegration test results confirmed the existence of a long run relationship amongst variables under investigations. Moreover, the results suggest that financing, namely; credit extensions and leasing finance have positive relationships with the country’s economic growth while household savings indicate a negative relationship with growth. That being the case, the recommendation is that since it has been established by other studies that a rapid increase in credit is not commonly perceived to be one of the leading indicators of financial instability, policymakers are advised to consider imposing stringent credit control measures so that the demand for financing can be kept under control.

description: A generation mechanism of super Alfvénic (SPA) waves in multi-ion species plasma is proposed and the associated heavy ion acceleration process is discussed. The SPA waves are thought to play important roles in particle acceleration since they have large wave electric field because of their high phase velocity. It is demonstrated by using full particle-in-cell simulation that large amplitude proton cyclotron waves, excited due to proton temperature anisotropy, nonlinearly destabilize SPA waves through parametric decay instability in a three component plasma composed of electrons, protons, and $α$ particles. At the same time, $α$ cyclotron waves get excited via another decay instability. A pre-accelerated $α$ particle resonates simultaneously with the two daughter waves, the SPA waves and the $α$ cyclotron waves, and it is further accelerated perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field. The process may work in astrophysical environments where sufficiently large temperature anisotropy of lower mass ions occurs.

description: We present high resolution optical spectroscopy of three candidate members of the Taurus-Auriga star forming region. Based on the spectral type, the strength, profile and width of the H(alpha) line, the detected lithium at 6708 angstrom, the location of these objects in a H-R diagram and the comparison with similar objects belonging to young stellar associations, we determine that they are bona fide members of the SFR, with about ~3 Myr, have masses at or below the substellar limit and, at least in one case, there is active accretion from a circum(sub)stellar disk. This result suggests that high mass brown dwarfs go through a Classical TTauri phase and form like stars, from colapse and fragmentation of a molecular cloud.

description: Despite that fact that Iraq has gone very far in the liberalization of women, Iraqi board of directors is still dominated by men. However, gender diversity is one of the largest concepts of board diversity and a major issue within corporate governance where several studies seek to discover the influence of diversity on firm performance. This article aims at examining the effect of women representation on firm performance of Iraqi listed firms using panel regression analysis. The empirical results of this paper provide evidence of a positive and significant relationship between female directors and firm performance as measured by Return on Assets while no relationship with the Tobin’s q. The important policy implication of this finding is that the Iraqi Stock Exchange and Iraqi Security Commission should incorporate gender diversity in CG practices and encourage women directorship in Iraq.

Quelques chercheurs se sont penchés sur les pratiques des parents et des enseignants travaillant avec les élèves dysphasiques dans le contexte d’intégration scolaire. Il y a peu de connaissances sur ce que les jeunes adultes dysphasiques deviennent après leur parcours scolaire obligatoire. Les objectifs de cette étude consistent à examiner les représentations de jeunes adultes dysphasiques quant à leur participation sociale et à préciser les obstacles et facilitateurs. Cinq jeunes ont participé à des entrevues semi-dirigées, dont les thèmes étaient en lien avec des dimensions du processus de production du handicap : communication, scolarité et travail. Il ressort que certains obstacles rencontrés lors du parcours scolaire se répètent dans le milieu du travail. Des recommandations pour favoriser la participation sociale ont émergé des propos recueillis.

description: We investigate the ultrafast magnetization dynamics of FePt in the L10 phase after an optical heating pulse, as used in heat assisted magnetic recording. We compare continuous and nanogranular thin films and emphasize the impact of the finite size on the remagnetization dynamics. The remagnetization speeds up significantly with increasing external magnetic field only for the continuous film, where domain wall motion governs the dynamics. The ultrafast remagnetization dynamics in the continuous film are only dominated by heat transport in the regime of high magnetic fields, whereas the timescale required for cooling is prevalent in the granular film for all magnetic field strengths. These findings highlight the necessary conditions for studying the intrinsic heat transport properties in magnetic materials.

description: Quantum annealers, such as the device built by D-Wave Systems, Inc., offer a way to compute solutions of NP-hard problems that can be expressed in Ising or QUBO (quadratic unconstrained binary optimization) form. Although such solutions are typically of very high quality, problem instances are usually not solved to optimality due to imperfections of the current generations quantum annealers. In this contribution, we aim to understand some of the factors contributing to the hardness of a problem instance, and to use machine learning models to predict the accuracy of the D-Wave 2000Q annealer for solving specific problems. We focus on the Maximum Clique problem, a classic NP-hard problem with important applications in network analysis, bioinformatics, and computational chemistry. By training a machine learning classification model on basic problem characteristics such as the number of edges in the graph, or annealing parameters such as D-Wave's chain strength, we are able to rank certain features in the order of their contribution to the solution hardness, and present a simple decision tree which allows to predict whether a problem will be solvable to optimality with the D-Wave 2000Q. We extend these results by training a machine learning regression model that predicts the clique size found by D-Wave.

description: This report presents a first step of the conceptual framework which will be used in the FoodSecure project to analyse the determinants of food and nutrition security. It draws on previous research and insights to develop a broad conceptual framework. The framework addresses drivers and determinants of food and nutrition security at multiple levels of aggregation. At the individual and household level, we make a distinction between drivers that affect the food and nutrition status, and drivers that affect the stability of this status. As gender is relevant in all dimensions of food and nutrition security at this level, we discuss it as a cross-cutting determinant. At the national and international level, food prices play a major role in food and nutrition security. We therefore discuss the drivers of food supply and demand, both in the short and long run. Finally, the framework describes the channels through which both micro- and macro-level policies are related to food and nutrition security.

description: Quasinormal modes for scalar field perturbations of a Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS) black hole are investigated. An analytical approximation is proposed for the problem. The quasinormal modes are evaluated for this approximate model in the limit when black hole mass is much smaller than the radius of curvature of the spacetime. The model mirrors some striking features observed in numerical studies of time behaviour of scalar perturbations of the SdS black hole. In particular, it shows the presence of two sets of modes relevant at two different time scales, proportional to the surface gravities of the black hole and cosmological horizons respectively. These quasinormal modes are not complete - another feature observed in numerical studies. Refinements of this model to yield more accurate quantitative agreement with numerical studies are discussed. Further investigations of this model are outlined, which would provide a valuable insight into time behaviour of perturbations in the SdS spacetime.

description: The English predicate is an essential part of sentence structure, comprising the verb and its complements, which convey information about the subject's action or condition. There are a number of crucial grammatical changes to take into account while translating English predicates into Uzbek. Auxiliary verbs are frequently used in English to convey tense and aspect, whereas Uzbek uses particular verb suffixes to convey comparable meanings. This leads to differences in verb placement since Uzbek usually calls for a more specific subject identification. Moreover, it is necessary to carefully assess the context because English predicates may not always have direct equivalents in Uzbek. Proficiency in both languages' grammatical structures, cultural quirks, and nuances is essential for successful translation. Successful communication between English and Uzbek speakers is ultimately made possible by learning these components, which guarantee that the original meaning and intent are accurately delivered.

description: We show that various milestones of high-redshift galaxy formation, such as the formation of the first stars or the complete reionization of the intergalactic medium, occurred at different times in different regions of the universe. The predicted spread in redshift, caused by large-scale fluctuations in the number density of galaxies, is at least an order of magnitude larger than previous expectations that argued for a sharp end to reionization. This cosmic scatter in the abundance of galaxies introduces new features that affect the nature of reionization and the expectations for future probes of reionization, and may help explain the present properties of dwarf galaxies in different environments. The predictions can be tested by future numerical simulations and may be verified by upcoming observations. Current simulations, limited to relatively small volumes and periodic boundary conditions, largely omit cosmic scatter and its consequences. In particular, they artificially produce a sudden end to reionization, and they underestimate the number of galaxies by up to an order of magnitude at redshift 20.

description: The properties of vector vortex beams in vertical-cavity-surface emitting lasers with frequency-selective feedback is investigated. They are interpreted as high-order vortex solitons with a spatially non-uniform, but locally linear polarization state. In contrast to most schemes to obtain vector vortex beams relying on imprinting the polarization structure, vector vortex solitons form spontaneously due to the near polarization degeneracy in vertical-cavity devices. We observe radially, hyperbolic and spiral polarization configurations depending on small residual anisotropies in the system and multi-stability between different states. In addition, we demonstrate flip-flop operation of laser solitons via in principle local electronic nonlinearities. Combining the two themes might open up a route for a simple device enabling fast switching between different vector vortex beams for applications. The investigations connect nicely the fields of nonlinear science, singular optics, structured light and semiconductor laser technology.

description: To navigate among the long term challenges for global and national food security, policy makers cannot only rely on qualitative analysis. They also need quantitative tools to measure and rank the different issues that they will face and the policy responses that can be designed. FOODSECURE proposes state-of-the art simulation models that will give both researchers and policy makers the capacity to study these issues in a comprehensive framework. This paper is aimed at providing an overview of the different modeling solutions proposed in the FOODSECURE toolbox and defines a strategy for using the different models in a consistent manner. First, the different models are briefly described and compared. Next, we see how these models tackle key food security indicators and drivers and translate different assumptions about the future within their framework. We then discuss the relative strengths and weaknesses of the different models to address different policy questions. Finally, we discuss how to combine these models and which optimal level of model integration should be used for analysis.

description: The true level crossings in a subspace of the asymmetric two-photon quantum Rabi model (tpQRM) have been observed when the bias parameter of qubit is an even multiple of the renormalized cavity frequency. Generally, such level crossings imply the existence of the hidden symmetry because the bias term breaks the obvious symmetry exactly. In this work, we propose a Bogoliubov operator approach (BOA) for the asymmetric tpQRM to derive the symmetry operators associated with the hidden symmetry hierarchically. The explicit symmetry operators consisting of Lie algebra at low biases can be easily obtained in our general scheme. We believe the present approach can be extended for other asymmetric Rabi models to find the relevant hidden symmetry.

description: This paper investigates the role of the third and fourth moments which impact on weekly stock return for the all twenty-five emerging stock markets (featured by MSCI - Morgan Stanley Capital International) during the period from April 2005 to November 2017. We employ the traditional CAPM combined with co-skewness and co-kurtosis representing nonlinear shape in risk measurement to estimate return generating under quantile regression in descending order by sorting equally weighted portfolios. The findings show that three of premium including market premium, co-skewness premium and co-kurtosis premium has influenced stock return in each country by 1%; 5%; 10% significance level with five-quantile regression approach. Then, our models with higher co-moments have better explanation for securities in emerging markets rather than traditional CAPM. Importantly, the investors should add more co-skewness securities and eliminate co-kurtosis (or less this factor) to generate more returns among 25 developing markets.
title: Selective Memory Bias in the Processing of Weight, Shape and Food Related Words in Women with Bulimia Nervosa, Depression and Female Non-Clinical Controls
Creators: name: Hunt, Jenny
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Memory bias for weight and shape related words and food related words was investigated in women with bulimia nervosa, women with depression and female nonclinical controls. The aims of this study were to investigate whether women with bulimia nervosa demonstrate memory biases congruent with their primary concerns. Furthermore, and whether such biases, reflect a general bias to recall emotional information and more specifically negatively valenced emotional information, as with depression. A further aim was to replicate the findings of Sebastian et al. (1996) that memory biases in women with bulimia are specific to weight and shape-related words and not to body words in general. Participants listened to weight, shape and food related words, and control words. They performed a self-referent encoding task and recall memory was assessed. The results indicated that women with bulimia nervosa demonstrated a bias to recall weight and shape related words compared to other word types. Memory biases were not specific to negative weight and shape words but were also found for positive weight and shape-related words. The bulimic group did not demonstrate enhanced recall for emotional words. Memory biases for food related words were not found to be specific to women with bulimia, but were also found in women with depression. In both groups recall bias for food related words was found to be related to levels of hunger. Possible explanations and the clinical implications of these findings are discussed, and future directions for research are highlighted.

description: We discuss how reactive and dissipative non-linearities affect the intrinsic response of superconducting thin-film resonators. We explain how most, if not all, of the complex phenomena commonly seen can be described by a model in which the underlying resonance is a single-pole Lorentzian, but whose centre frequency and quality factor change as external parameters, such as readout power and frequency, are varied. What is seen during a vector-network-analyser measurement is series of samples taken from an ideal Lorentzian that is shifting and spreading as the readout frequency is changed. According to this model, it is perfectly proper to refer to, and measure, the resonant frequency and quality factor of the underlying resonance, even though the swept-frequency curves appear highly distorted and hysteretic. In those cases where the resonance curve is highly distorted, the specific shape of the trajectory in the Argand plane gives valuable insights into the second-order physical processes present. We discuss the formulation and consequences of this approach in the case of non-linear kinetic inductance, two-level-system loss, quasiparticle generation, and a generic model based on a power-law form. The generic model captures the key features of specific dissipative non-linearities, but additionally leads to insights into how general dissipative processes create characteristic forms in the Argand plane. We provide detailed formulations in each case, and indicate how they lead to the wide variety of phenomena commonly seen in experimental data. We also explain how the properties of the underlying resonance can be extracted from this data. Overall, our paper provides a self-contained compendium of behaviour that will help practitioners interpret and determine important parameters from distorted swept-frequency measurements.

description: This paper establishes a conceptual framework that links short-term price changes with food and nutrition security. We first provide an overview on the causes of commodity price volatility and approaches to measure volatility. Next, different concepts to measure food security impacts are elaborated and discussed. In contrast to consumption, utility or perception based indicators, anthropometric indicators provide the most direct measure of nutritional impacts. An extensive literature review emphasizes that anthropometric indicators can respond significantly within few months to shocks like droughts, seasonality or economic crises. As there is few research on the impact of price shocks to nutritional status, the developed conceptual framework elaborates different channels how price changes and price risks affect households and food security. The paper concludes with implications for further research to analyze the impact of price volatility on food security empirically.

description: The management of stable development of business entities requires the improvement of methodological approaches regarding their efficiency assessment. We think that the efficiency assessment should conduct a comparative analysis with other economic entities regarding the effectiveness of using existing amount of material, financial and labour resources. For a comparative assessment of the operational efficiency of Ukrainian enterprises the authors suggest the method of frontier stochastic analysis. The essence of this approach is to build a standard enterprise with the highest efficiency indicators and calculation of the efficiency coefficients. According to the results of statistical hypotheses testing it is determined that the translog function with the truncated distribution of a random component best describes the investigated functional dependences. According to the results of modelling the efficiency coefficients for every enterprise and period of investigation were received and on the basis of them the ranking of enterprises efficiency was made.
