description: Organizations want great work performance but ignore employees’ fundamental psychological and emotional issues, which are imperative in making employees productive. Although it is easier to evaluate employee productivity through tangible outcomes, it is much more difficult to quantify the impact of emotional states of being. This study examined the effects of psychological capital, work happiness, and rumination on the performance of non-academic university workers in Malaysia. The sample was collected through a cross-sectional survey administered to non-academic staff members of public sector universities in Malaysia. The results uncovered the significance of psychological capital and happiness at work for work performance. This study concurs with the positive psychology movement, confirming the importance of psychological and emotional employee states in enhancing workplace performance. Therefore, university management must plan interventions to enhance psychological capital and work happiness to improve the work performance of non-academic staff. This scholarly work focuses on exploring the significance of psychological capital and work happiness for work performance among non-academic university employees. The importance of this topic lies in the fact that employees’ performance and well-being are essential for organizational success, and the role of psychological capital and happiness in this regard has been understudied. Through this research, we aim to provide insights into how psychological capital and happiness can enhance work performance among university employees, ultimately leading to better job satisfaction, increased productivity, and a positive work environment. Our findings will have implications for university management, as they can use this knowledge to develop interventions that promote psychological capital and happiness among their employees, which can lead to better organizational outcomes and a more fulfilling work environment. Overall, our research has significant public interest, as it has the potential to benefit both employees and organizations.
Robust genotype classification using dynamic variable selection
Creators: name: Podder, Mohua
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are DNA sequence variations, occurring when a single nucleotide –A, T, C or G – is altered. Arguably, SNPs account for more than 90% of human genetic variation. Dr. Tebbutt's laboratory has developed a highly redundant SNP genotyping assay consisting of multiple probes with signals from multiple channels for a single SNP, based on arrayed primer extension (APEX). The strength of this platform is its unique redundancy having multiple probes for a single SNP. Using this microarray platform, we have developed fully-automated genotype calling algorithms based on linear models for individual probe signals and using dynamic variable selection at the prediction level. The algorithms combine separate analyses based on the multiple probe sets to give a final confidence score for each candidate genotypes. Our proposed classification model achieved an accuracy level of >99.4% with 100% call rate for the SNP genotype data which is comparable with existing genotyping technologies. We discussed the appropriateness of the proposed model related to other existing high-throughput genotype calling algorithms. In this thesis we have explored three new ideas for classification with high dimensional data: (1) ensembles of various sets of predictors with built-in dynamic property; (2) robust classification at the prediction level; and (3) a proper confidence measure for dealing with failed predictor(s). We found that a mixture model for classification provides robustness against outlying values of the explanatory variables. Furthermore, the algorithm chooses among different sets of explanatory variables in a dynamic way, prediction by prediction. We analyzed several data sets, including real and simulated samples to illustrate these features. Our model-based genotype calling algorithm captures the redundancy in the system considering all the underlying probe features of a particular SNP, automatically down-weighting any ‘bad data’ corresponding to image artifacts on the microarray slide or failure of a specific chemistry. Though motivated by this genotyping application, the proposed methodology would apply to other classification problems where the explanatory variables fall naturally into groups or outliers in the explanatory variables require variable selection at the prediction stage for robustness.

description: Previous studies have examined the basic psychological needs (BPNs) among student-athletes in dual careers (DCs), however, motivational profiles regarding the BPNs have not yet been investigated extensively. The present study aimed to investigate DC profiles based on the perceived BPN support. Cross-sectional analyses examined the relation between these profiles and the academic and athletic personal characteristics as well as performances. Longitudinal analyses explored the profiles’ developments in terms of these characteristics and performances. A sample of 236 student-athletes (47.5% female) at three German Elite Sport Schools participated in the study. Cluster analyses resulted in five clustering profiles: positive thinkers, easy-goers, socials, learners, and sporties. Analyses of variance (ANOVA) showed that these profiles differed in terms of academic and athletic personal characteristics but not performances. Repeated-measurement ANOVA resulted in indifferent developments of the personal characteristics and performances among the five profiles except for the grade in Physical Education.

Norm evolution without the state : an examination of the unique nature of commercial law
Creators: name: Druzin, Bryan Howard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The discussion examines the idea that because of its relatively unique nature, commercial law has the distinct ability to evolve and function in the absence of a central coercive authority. While law of a non-commercial nature generally requires the backing of a state through which to derive its efficacy, a great deal of commercial law as it exists today evolves often in the absence of a single coercive authority, shaped largely by market forces outside the purview of any one state power. To this end, we look primarily at transnational commercial law, specifically at what is commonly understood as the new law merchant. It is the central contention of this paper that commercial law stands apart from other forms of law in that it is uniquely equipped to generate norms in situations where a single legislative power is notably not present, as it is largely impacted by the choices and behaviour of individual economic actors. We examine the notion that the manner of interaction implied by commercial intercourse involves a higher degree of overall engagement. This we term ‘high engagement’, which we divide into two elements: repetition and game creation, which with reciprocity, works in tandem to produce identifiable legal norms and the subsequent compliance with them. In Part I, after presenting a brief overview of the idea of reciprocity and spontaneous law theory, a more detailed explanation of the notion of engagement is offered. In Part II, we set out exactly how high engagement facilitates the development of and compliance with legal norms. Finally, the conclusion this paper reaches is that this element of high engagement, a salient characteristic of commercial interaction, plays a decisive role in the ability of commercial law to evolve and function in the vacuum of a central legislative authority.

description: The new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread swiftly globally. People were in danger of infection and psychological stress as a result of the pandemic. Due to the shutdown of schools, the academic calendars of educational institutions were thrown off. The effects of COVID-19 on the academic performance and psychological well-being of college students were investigated in this paper. A proportionate stratified random sampling procedure was used to select students from the Seventh-day Adventist College of Education in Agona-Ashanti for the study. Data was collected using a questionnaire that included the 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7). We found that following the temporary shutdown of schools, students’ test scores did not alter much. Mild anxiety was reported by 32.8% of respondents, moderate anxiety by 17.7%, and severe anxiety by 6.1%. Gender and family financial stability were found to be protective factors against anxiety in students. However, having an associate who contracted COVID-19, as well as the location of the student community and the people students stayed with, were not risk factors for increased anxiety. In correlation analysis, economic influence, effects on everyday living, academic delays, and effects on social support were all found to be negatively associated with anxiety symptoms. Furthermore, being concerned about academic delays had a minor effect on students’ anxiety symptoms. The government and college authorities should work together to provide counselling services to students to reduce the psychological effects of pandemics on students. The COVID-19 pandemic caused educational disruptions. This study investigated the effects of COVID-19 on the academic performance and psychological well-being of college students. The study is based on data gathered using stratified random sampling. The study was inspired by the need to contribute to the literature on COVID-19 by paying attention to the anxiety levels of students during the pandemic and comparing the examination results of students in the semesters before and during the pandemic. It was found that following the temporary shutdown of schools, students’ test scores did not alter much. Gender and family financial stability were found to be protective factors against anxiety in students. A study of this nature can help the government and telecommunications companies collaborate to improve communication and internet services in the country, allowing for online studies. It will also guide the government and college authorities in providing counselling services to students.

Cooperation and other unifying processes in Elliott Carter's Esprit Rude/Esprit Doux trilogy
Creators: name: Arthur, Claire
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Elliott Carter frequently organizes the formal design of his compositions with long-range polyrhythms, such that different parts of the texture move at different, slow tempi, often arranged so that their beats coincide exactly twice, at the beginning and the end of the piece. Many theorists have commented on these tempo ratios, and pointed out how they are manifested, on a smaller time scale, in each instrument’s notated beat divisions. However, building on the work of Link and Roeder, this paper shows that in Esprit Rude/Esprit Doux, Esprit Rude/Esprit Doux II, and Retrouvailles, pieces Carter dedicated to Pierre Boulez, the polyrhythms also guide the interactive behaviour of the instruments. Furthermore, it shows that although these works are all independently complete and coherent, together they can be understood as three movements of a trilogy, whereby the progression from simultaneous melodic parts that run independently of one another in Esprit I to the near-monophonic melody lines in Retrouvailles, as well as the increase in cooperative activity (for example, melody-sharing, and the mutual building of important harmonies) represent a theme of growing reconciliation.

description: Higher Education faces challenges in providing learning experiences and cultivating competencies in our modern environment. Academic discourse centres on tutoring automation, a complicated educational dilemma in the age of Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Artificial Intelligence. Establishing a structured technique for real competency assessments is an early challenge. Therefore, this research develops and implements a structured evaluation process to assess student competencies in complex problem-solving scenarios. The study finds dimensional variation in student performance through statistical analysis of multivariate data from two engineering courses, demonstrating that each evaluation method measures different competencies. Key findings demonstrate that while traditional evaluation methods provide quantitative results, the newly proposed instruments offer a nuanced understanding of student abilities by capturing quantitative and qualitative data. This approach standardises the assessment process and lays the groundwork for developing intelligent tutoring systems to automate and personalise learning. This method may lead to computer-assisted instruction to adapt educational technology for engineering complex problem-solving and other skills. It provides a solid foundation for personalised learning technology assessment methods. Higher education faces significant challenges in providing effective learning experiences and cultivating essential competencies. This study addresses these challenges by developing advanced assessment instruments to evaluate complex problem-solving skills in engineering courses. Utilising a detailed competence rubric and a binary evaluation checklist, the research standardises the assessment process, offering a comprehensive analysis of student performance. Statistical analysis of data from online and hybrid courses reveals that these tools capture a wide range of competencies more effectively than traditional methods. This structured approach enhances the objectivity and reliability of evaluations and paves the way for Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS). These ITS can automate and personalise learning using artificial intelligence and machine learning, significantly improving the teaching and assessment of complex problem-solving and other critical skills in higher education. This innovative method establishes a robust foundation for the future of personalised learning technologies.

description: The primary objective of this research is to explore the portrayal of Korean culture in Korean language textbooks developed in Thailand for use in Thai universities, and to assess Thai students’ responses to these textbooks. The research utilises Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), Visual Image Analysis (VIA), and interviews as methodological tools. The study demonstrates that these textbooks predominantly represent Korean culture, with a particular focus on Korean history, economy, and political culture, as reflected in the themes of the textbooks. Moreover, the study reveals that the textbooks embed specific ideologies and cultural elements such as democracy, nationalism, and patriotism, and occasionally critique Korean culture. Interviews with Thai students disclose that their engagement with the textbooks is not passive; rather, they critically assess and actively interpret the ideologies and cultural representations through their own cultural perspectives. This study examines how Korean culture is represented in Korean language textbooks developed in Thailand and used by Thai university students. By employing methods such as Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Visual Image Analysis (VIA), the research investigates the ideologies, norms, and cultural values embedded in these educational materials. Interviews with Thai students highlight their critical engagement with the textbooks, showcasing their ability to evaluate and interpret the cultural content through their own cultural lenses. The study underscores the significance of including both the target Korean culture and the source Thai culture in textbooks to enhance intercultural competence and student engagement. It suggests that while textbooks are crucial in language education, supplementary materials incorporating the students’ native culture can provide a more comprehensive learning experience. This research contributes to discussions on the role of educational resources in promoting cultural understanding and linguistic proficiency.

Species description. Prosome ovoid in dorsal view (Fig. 3: 2), nearly 2.9 times as long as urosome and 2.1 times as long as wide. The first pediger separate from cephalosome, pedigers four and five fused.
Genital double somite almost symmetrical ventrally (Fig. 3: 4), slightly expanding laterally approximately equal in length to two following somites combined. Anterior part of genital double somite protruding ventrally (Fig. 3: 5). Spermathecae visible in ventral view but not obvious when viewed laterally. Anal somite nearly two times longer than preceding somite. Caudal rami slightly asymmetrical, with left ramus slightly longer than right, both bearing four setae.
Antennule of 24 free segments not reaching anal somite (Fig. 3: 3). Mouthparts (Fig. 3: 6–10) relatively well developed compared with other discoid genera, and of typical structure for genus. Maxilliped (Fig. 3: 11) syncoxa with no setae on lobe one.
Р1-Р4 (Figs. 4: 1–5) of typical structure for genus: endopods one-segmented, and exopods three-segmented. Outer spine on first segment of P1 exopod relatively long, but not reaching middle of third segment. Outer spines of second and third segments of exopod approximately equal in length, and almost two times shorter than outer spine on first segment. Outer spine on first exopodal segment of Р2 reaching distal border of second segment. Outer edge of third segment of P2 exopod with three external spines on both legs in holotype and paratype.
Differential diagnosis. In the presence of three external spines on third segment of Р2, P. tridentatus sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other species of this genus.
Etymology. The specific name refers to the number of external spines on the distal segment of P2 exopod.

description: Research Infrastructures (RI) and Core Facilities (CF) are strong drivers for generating research results and, thus, knowledge at European Universities. In this paper, we provide insight into different features of RI and CF, their organisational structure and governance, funding mechanisms, critical factors for success, and challenges and opportunities associated with implementing and operating these research support structures. Our results are based on a comparative analysis across six European universities from the 4EU + University Alliance. Due to the lack of a clear definition of RI and CF, we provide a variety of indicators and criteria attributed to such facilities and highlight differences between CF and RI in terms of goals and objectives. If establishing Core Facilities is seen as a response to the evolving needs and challenges of researchers, a centralised management and collaborative governance model can provide a practical solution. We explore the legal framework, organisation, access, users and charge rate models at Core Facilities. We also identify several challenges in setting up and maintaining Core Facilities. Special attention is directed towards staff challenges, including introducing the staff category of ‘scientific technical experts’. Finally, we present a Core Facility Manifesto and share our conclusions.

description: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) play a prominent role in today’s society. At the same time, studies show that the gap in science performance between students from lower socioeconomic background and students from a more advantaged background is wide. Studies further show that role models can have a positive effect and the effect tutoring can have towards the attitudes towards subjects. In this pre-registered randomized controlled trial, we study in a real life setting the effect of tutoring on the STEM interest of Dutch primary school pupils from relatively lower socioeconomic neighborhoods (‘tutees’) by measuring the influence of the study background of 2nd to 4th study-year Dutch university students (‘tutors’) on the STEM interest of the tutees. A group of 104 tutees between 9 and 12 years old were tutored by 29 tutors. Nineteen tutors had a background in one of the STEM subjects, the others had a background in another (non-STEM) subject. Using the validated questionnaire STEM-LIT, we measured the interest of the tutees in STEM fields in a pre- and post-test and checked if the background of tutors affected the interest in STEM fields through statistical tests. While our results have found no significant differences in STEM interest between those two groups, our analysis does provide insights into the mechanisms relating to the interest in STEM fields among children from relatively lower socioeconomic neighbourhoods. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) play an important role in society. However, there is a gap in choosing science-related directions between children with a lower social-economic background and those with a more advantaged background. Tutoring could change their attitudes towards STEM. In this study, we researched the effect of tutoring on the STEM interest of Dutch primary school children between 9 and 12 years old in a real-life setting. We measured the influence of the study background, STEM or non-STEM, of Dutch university students (the tutors), on the STEM interest of their tutees. With a survey before and after tutoring, we also measured the interest of the tutees in STEM. While this study didn’t find significant differences in STEM interest between tutees tutored by a tutor with a STEM or non-STEM background, it does gives insights into the mechanisms behind interest in STEM among pupils from lower social-economic background.

(Figures 5–6)
Material examined. Holotype: adult female, dissected, body length 0.70 mm. ZIN accession number 91098. Collected during the USCGC “ Healy ” Ocean Exploration-05/2 cruise, station 5, Canada Basin (73° 24’N, 153° 33’W), 5 July 2005, bottom depth 3850 m, depth of collection 3000– 2000 m. Paratype: adult female, dissected, body length 0.70 mm. ZIN accession number 91099. Collected during the USCGC “ Healy ” Ocean Exploration-05/2 cruise, station 5, Canada Basin (73° 24’N, 153° 33’W), 5 July 2005, bottom depth 3850 m, depth of collection 2000– 1000 m.
Species description. Prosome ovoid in dorsal view (Fig. 5: 1), nearly three times as long as urosome and 1.9 times as long as wide. The first pediger partly separate from cephalosome (Fig. 5: 2), while fourth and fifth pedigers fused.
Genital complex slightly asymmetrical (Fig. 5: 3) with lateral borders strongly convex, and large spermathecae obvious. Genital double somite approximately equal in length to subsequent two somites combined: anterior part strongly protruding ventrally forming a thick wide fold covering middle part of double somite (Fig. 5: 5). Anal somite nearly twice as long as preceding somite. Antennule of 24 free segments, reaching about to posterior border of caudal rami (Fig. 5: 2). Mouthparts as in P. tridentatus. No substantial differences from appendages of other species in the genus noted, except for maxilliped syncoxa lobe one having one seta (Fig. 5: 5, 6).
Р1-Р4 (Fig. 6: 1–5) of typical structure for genus: endopods one-segmented, exopods three-segmented. Outer distal spine on first segment of P1 exopod long, almost reaching middle of outer border of third segment.
Outer distal spine of first exopodal segment of Р2 extending beyond distal end of second segment. Outer bor- der edge of third exopodal segment of left Р2 armed with three spines, but right Р2 with only two spines, both in holotype (Fig. 6: 2) and in paratype (Fig. 6: 3).
Differential diagnosis. The presence of three outer spines on the third exopodal segment of the left Р2 and only two spines on the right Р2 is characteristic only for this species. The appearance of the genital field, specifically the protruding thick wide fold that covers the middle part of the double somite (Fig. 5: 3 and 4) serves as an additional diagnostic character for the females of this species.
Etymology. The specific name refers to the number of external spines on the distal segment of left (three spines) and right (two spines) exopods of P2.

"Pseudo-wits and polished frauds" : directing Molière's The Learned Ladies
Creators: name: Gauthier, Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: “Pseudo-wits and polished frauds”: directing Molière's The Learned Ladies examines the preparation, pre-production, and rehearsal process behind The Learned Ladies, staged at the University of British Columbia’s Frederic Wood Theatre from February 7-16, 2008. As detailed in the following paper, my objective was to examine the text through the lens of the commedia dell’arte and its influence on the playwright’s characters and dramaturgy, as well as Molière's feminism. In the rehearsal hall, my focus was on actor creation and “play.” Chapter 1 summarizes my pre-production research, and includes biographical information on both the playwright and translator, as well as the above noted commedia and early feminist influences, while Chapter 2 provides a detailed directorial analysis of Molière's text. A journal – chronicling the entire production process from early design meetings through rehearsals and the run of the show – makes up Chapter 3. Finally, Chapter 4 is a short reflection on the process, outlining major shifts in my thinking and technique, and concluding with my final thoughts on the production.
