A study of preschool children’s motive orientation during science activities
Creators: name: VIDAL CARULLA, CLARA
name: ADBO  (Sweden), KARINA
Publisher: name: Review of Science, Mathematics and ICT Education
Year: 2020
Subjects: Motive, preschool, science

description: The results presented here are part of a two-year longitudinal study with two main objectives: 1) designing subject-specific science activities that provide experience of chemical phenomena and support positive emotions of science and 2) exploring preschool children’s emergent science. Science was introduced into the preschool setting in the form of conceptual play. Data was collected using visual-ethnography and analysed inductively to explore the dynamics of children’s development of motive orientation over a year of science activities. Results show the significance of the social environment for developing motives and influencing leading motives. The discussion highlights the necessity of considering both cognitive and emotional aspects within preschool science activities in order to be able to create positive cultural motives for science.

Subjects: Semiotic representation registers, proportionality, problem solving, tabular register, graphical register

description: This research focuses on the two main registers of semiotic representations in direct proportionality. Based on the theory of registers of semiotic representation, we examine the effects of tabular and graphical registers in solving problems of direct proportionality. We hypothesize that mobilized registers will have an impact on the performance of our learners. Using a factorial design, our study of ninety-two learners in the second year of secondary school (13-14 years old) evaluates the implementation of four pedagogical scenarios characterized by an identical discovery task, but mobilizing different semiotic registers.

Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2015

description: Background: Confidential product listing agreements (PLAs) negotiated between pharmaceutical manufacturers and individual health care payers may contribute to unwanted price disparities, high administrative costs, and unequal bargaining power within and across jurisdictions. In the context of Canada’s decentralized health system, we aimed to document provincial policy makers’ perceptions about collaborative PLA negotiations. Methods: We conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with a senior policy maker from nine of the ten Canadian provinces. We conducted a thematic analysis of interview transcripts to identify benefits, drawbacks, and barriers to routine collaboration on PLA negotiations. Results: Canadian policy makers expressed support for joint negotiations of PLAs in principle, citing benefits of increased bargaining power and reduced inter-jurisdictional inequities in drug prices and formulary listings. However, established policy institutions and the politics of individual jurisdictional authority are formidable barriers to routine PLA collaboration. Achieving commitment to a joint process may be difficult to sustain among heterogeneous and autonomous partners. Conclusions: Though collaboration on PLA negotiation is an extension of collaboration on health technology assessment, it is a very significant next step that requires harmonization of the outcomes of decision-making processes. Views of policy makers in Canada suggest that sustaining routine collaborations on PLA negotiations may be difficult unless participating jurisdictions have similar policy institutions, capacities to implement coverage decisions, and local political priorities.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Our numerical simulations first demonstrate that the pressure of ISM in a major merger becomes so high (> 10(5) k(B) K cm(-3)) that GMCs in the merger can collapse to form globular clusters (GCs) within a few Myr. The star formation efficiency within a GMC in galaxy mergers can rise up from a few percent to similar to 80 percent, depending on the shapes and the temperature of the GMC. This implosive GC formation due to external high pressure of warm/hot ISM can be more efficient in the tidal tails or the central regions of mergers. The developed clusters have King-like profiles with an effective radius of a few pc. The structural, kinematical, and chemical properties of these GC systems can depend on the orbital and chemical properties of major mergers.

An investigation of attitudes towards the practice of school-based psychological services
Creators: name: Thielking, Monica
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The provision of school based psychological services in Victorian primary and secondary schools dates back to well before the Second World War. Since then, however, the activities that make up the role of school psychologists have changed substantially. School psychologists' roles have become more varied than the original psychometric focus and reflect a more systemic approach to the conceptualization of student problems. Within Australia, school psychologists can be found servicing single or multiple schools in the government, independent and Catholic school sectors, fulfilling a range of functions and dealing with a diversity of student issues. However, Australian academic research into the professional practice issues associated with the provision of school-based psychological services is rare. Therefore, this thesis sought to investigate a range of professional issues associated with the provision of school-based psychological services for Victorian school psychologists working in single and multiple schools in the government and non-government primary and secondary school sectors. In addition to surveying Victorian school psychologists, principals and teachers were also surveyed in order to ascertain their attitudes towards school-based psychological services. The sample consisted of 81 school psychologists, 21 principals and 86 teachers. The results revealed that school psychologists participate in a variety of activities, including a number of activities that reflect a systemic model of service delivery. They also deal with a broad range of student issues, some of which are quite serious in nature. However, the study also revealed a number of professional issues that were in need of improvement. Some of these included a lack of participation in regular supervision for school psychologists, school psychologists' dissatisfaction with some industrial and professional conditions associated with their role and differences in attitudes between psychologists, principals and teachers regarding the activities and responsibilities of school psychologists. Results from the study provide plausible evidence for the need to support school psychologists in the valuable work that they do within schools through improved industrial conditions, appropriate professional development, and regular supervision. Furthermore the results also reveal a need to educate and participate in dialogue with the educational community in order to increase understanding of school psychologists' roles and professional responsibilities.

Telling children a dangerous lie about life

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Last year school report cards were cryptograms from hell. For each learning area, one tiny diagram contained coded letters, squares, shaded areas, black and white dots and a menacing progress line known as a class average. This year it's simpler. Your child's results are mapped onto the state-wide expected average for each learning area along a five-point scale: from A to E. C is where you need to be. A is well above the expected standard, E is well below. Parents can exhale. It's plain English all the way. Yet the welcome simplicity hides behind it the same essentially dishonest attitude towards children's education. We still don't know how and what our children are doing.
Gültigkeit und Reichweite der chinesischen Bildungsstatistik

Year: 2017

description: Dealing with developments in the People’s Republic of China’s education system from a scientific point of view has always been a question of relevant and appropriate sources. Different sources seem to be valueloaded to different degrees so a careful choice of materials is necessary for a balanced statement. It was only at the end of 1970s that discussions on how to improve Chinese statistics started and that internal Chinese judgement on the reliability of statistics became available. Based on various sources this article offers a critical overview of all major sources of educational statistics in China and presents comparative data from different sources on different Chinese regions and different subject areas. As a number of examples show there are hardly any parts of the education system which are more accurately documented than others. Mistakes run through the whole system (although in some cases vocational education seems to be a special area of statistical misreporting), depending on the time of reporting, the kind of source and the region. In general terms, progress in statistical reporting is visible since about 1978/79, although we never know whether high consistency in the data presented in different sources also means that these data give a true picture of reality.

description: An overview of information and documentation in China takes into account the information policy, the promotion of information and documentation and existing problems, e.g. resulting from organisational structures (xitong) and the holding back of information (neibu faxing). Access to the National Library (Beijing Tushuguan) can be compared to western libraries, while the author experienced some restrictions at the library of Sichuan University in Chengdu. Regarding the establishment of data-bases there are chosen examples from data-bases in the fields of traditional Chinese medicine, agriculture and commerce. Further, the China Information Industry Association is described. A last chapter analyses information and documentation in the social sciences in general and with special regard to the library of the Cultural Palace of Nationalities dealing with the field of ethno-documentation.

Year: 2017

description: While students of medicine, science and technology have a growing number of data bases at their disposal, sinologists rely mainly on bibliographies and other printed reference material. The article gives a survey of the current situation of bibliographical control in Chinese studies and points out desiderata and lacunae. The emphasis is on bibliographies and indexes which may be compiled efficiently by using a personal computer and commercial database software. The author stresses the necessity of using proper bibliographic methods and checking the original information. Mere compilation of second-hand data is often misleading and causes irritation. Although it would be easy to distribute research aids and reference tools on floppy disks, most students and libraries in Europe are not prepared to handle them: incompatible hard- or software, lack of the hard disk storage space and copyright questions are the main obstacles. For this reason the article only discusses subject matter and concept of the needed reference material, but does not dwell on the techniques of data processing and the use of multi-access media.

Land Policy, Farm Management and Agrarian Reform in China under Socialism
Creators: name: Tang, Anthony M.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: This paper explores the rationale for Chinese land policy and for agricultural collectivization with special reference to the development strategy of the People’s Republic of China. This rationale is at variance with the "conventional wisdom" offered for socialist agriculture. For our argument, scale economies considerations were adapted to apply to Chinese farming. Management and institutional features of the Sovietstyle collective farm adopted by China are analyzed for consistency with the requirements of the Chinese nation-building design. It is shown that collectivization can be harmonious, in static analytical terms, with the imperatives of "forced-draft" (heavy) industrialization under central planning. Unfortunately, in dynamic terms, collectivization entails performance- monitoring costs that tend to rise over time. Risk-taking is impaired when called for by innovations. Systemic efficiency loss mounts. This is especially true in China, for the following reasons: (1) For historical reasons, China’s "initial conditions" in agriculture were most unfavorable (compared with those in the Soviet Union where the development strategy with its collectivization appendage was bluprinted). (2) The interaction of these conditions with system requirements exacerbated the negative dynamic consequences of collectivization. Maoist appeal to ideological mass campaigns as a substitute for the lack of incentive on the farm proved futile in the long run, leading instead to political or policy cycles in agricultural productivity. Long-term deterioration in total factor productivity in agriculture began to turn intersectoral flows of resources against priority industry. Agrarian reform became inevitable. It required only the passing of Mao to trigger it. The paper concludes with an analysis of the reform.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper is concerned with reduced-order infin filtering of stochastic systems. Based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, a new design method is proposed for the reduced-order filtering of stochastic linear systems. The method is derived from decomposing the key matrix in LMIs which determines the order of designed filters. Different from the existing methods, the proposed method first minimizes the upper bound of the key matrix and then eliminates its near-zero eigenvalues, which results in a simpler, more direct and reliable design procedure. The method is applicable to both continuous and discrete time stochastic systems. Its effectiveness is illustrated by an example

description: The book ‘How Much Should A Person Consume?’ is an academic history of environmental movements and environmentalism. It contains neither historical events nor scientific analyses of the evolving global climate or the surrounding environment. Rather, the book organizes and dissects the emerging theories on nature and human interactions, within the framework of various individuals' biographical accounts that have properly articulated and influenced such ideas.
 Guha asserts that the issue of environmental degradation has historically been looked at by environmentalists and ecologists through an individualistic perspective. In such a system the social aspects and subjective conditions are generally disregarded. Guha's core philosophy on social ecology contains simple yet expansive set of arguments on how to guide environmental activism in order to generate more sustainable solutions worldwide that can be applied to each social context, towards environmental issues.

Indiens Energiepolitik im Lichte der Verhandlungen um eine globale Klimakonvention
Creators: name: Paulus, Stephan
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The ongoing negotiations regarding global measures to tackle the greenhouse effect are proving to be difficult particularly due to severe conflicts of interest between North and South. The Government of India so far was among those not very enthusiastic about adopting substantial and legally binding reduction targets for global emissions of greenhouse gases. It referred to national development plans as well as financial constraints and emphasized that the main responsibility for expected climate changes lies with industrialized countries. However, this paper argues that India should review its stand particularly with regard to C02 emissions caused by fossil fuel consumption and deforestation. A look at India’s industrial, transport and household sectors clearly shows that a continuation of present energy-intensive trends would lead to severe financial, foreign exchange and ecological constraints. In the process of finalizing the 8th Five Year Plan there are opportunities to formulate new priorities towards delinking economic growth and energy use, as well as increasing energy efficiency and enhancing the use of renewable energy sources. Illustrative scenarios show that such a reorientation of India’s energy policy would substantially contain future increases of C02 emissions. From this point of view it would be rational for India to take a supportive stand towards a global climate convention and, at the same time, as one of the heavyweights within the G 77, use her influence to serve Third World interests in the negotiation process. This would be especially important as regards the manifold global distribution issues involved in the negotiations of a climate convention and the respective protocols.

Aspects of String Cosmology - de Sitter Vacua and Large-Field Inflation in String Theory

Year: 2019

description: Lecture at Helmholtz International Summer School "COSMOLOGY, STRINGS, NEW PHYSICS" at Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics, JINR (Dubna, Russia), 7 Aug 2019 - 9 Aug 2019
description: We wish to connect string-scale physics as closely as possible to observables accessible to current or near-future experiments.Besides the initial cosmological singularity, there are two phenomena in theoretical cosmology which need a fundamental description beyond the reach of effective field theory (EFT) coupled to general relativity: The current epoch of accelerated expansion of the universe ascribed to dark energy, and a very early phase of cosmological inflation. We will discuss in particular the high-scale (UV) sensitivity of inflation (and similarly, of dark energy), requiring a description within a UV complete candidate theory of quantum gravity, for which we pick string theory. Moreover, only inflation at the highest energy scales which are large-field models by necessity, generically produce observable amounts of so-called tensor modes, primordial gravitational waves detectable (and yet to be found) as B-mode polarization of the CMB.Weakly coupled string theory contains extra dimensions,leading to the problem of geometric deformations giving rise to massless scalar fields, the moduli. Therefore, embedding inflation and/or dark energy into string theory requires moduli stabilization. We will discuss the core ideas of moduli stabilization, mostly in the context of type IIB string theory, and the subsequent possibilities to ‘uplift’ the resulting anti-de-Sitter (AdS) vacua to de Sitter (dS) space. Based on such background constructions, we then discuss attempts to realize large-field inflation in string theory. Given the constraints facing such models, this will force us to use axions such as in e.g. axion monodromy inflation, or the decompactification direction among volume moduli as in fibre inflation.

Simonis. While the endeavour to provide a rule for determining the inclusion of a given country in the set eligible for aid on concessional terms is laudable, a number of questions are raised regarding the indicators proposed. In particular, the paper takes issue with Simonis’ statement that underdevelopment is being newly defined.

Least Developed Countries - Newly Defined
Creators: name: Simonis, Udo E.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2017

description: The United Nations Committee for Development Planning (CDP), whose task among others is to ascertain which countries should be labelled as "Least Developed" has established a new list of LLDCs in its 1991 annual report. In this paper the author, member of the CDP, summarizes the report, focussing on the Asian countries. In the first part the author characterizes the background of the report, its role in global policy and the impact the classification as LLDC may have. Next is the presentation of the methodology, especially the new criteria (APQLI and EDI), and the new rules for a country’s presence on the list (inclusion rule and graduation rule). How these criteria are to be applied is mentioned before passing on to the second and main issue, the uplisting of those countries to be considered as least developed. In a successive step the question is answered whether a country, presently on the list, complies with the new definition or should be removed: The paper concludes with the core suggesteions of the CDP report.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The canon of knowledge within the fields of management and leadership theory and practice has been developed and espoused from Western capitalist principles, with leading thinkers in the field being mainly of American of European dissent. These ideas have then been 'exported' beyond Western boundaries as trade has moved from being multinational, through international to global, and practices such as international outsourcing have become more widespread. While some areas of Asia, particularly India, may be both responsive and adaptive to some of these Western practices, other areas of Asia and Africa as a whole are not so. This paper offers a contextual understanding and comparison of leadership and management practices in Western and African contexts to provide some explanation as to why such practice needs to be adapted if it is to be successful outside of the Western context in which it was conceived.

description: The significance of the integral membrane protein Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) in the ebolavirus entry process has been determined using various cell lines derived from humans, non-human primates and fruit bats. Fruit bats have long been purported as the potential reservoir host for ebolaviruses, however several studies provide evidence that Mops condylurus, an insectivorous microbat, is also an ebolavirus reservoir. NPC1 receptor expression in the context of ebolavirus replication in microbat cells remains unstudied. In order to study Ebola virus (EBOV) cellular entry and replication in M. condylurus, we derived primary and immortalized cell cultures from 12 different organs. The NPC1 receptor expression was characterized by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry comparing the expression levels of M. condylurus primary and immortalized cells, HeLa cells, human embryonic kidney cells and cells from a European microbat species. EBOV replication kinetics was studied for four representative cell cultures using qRT-PCR. The aim was to elucidate the suitability of primary and immortalized cells from different tissues for studying NPC1 receptor expression levels and their potential influence on EBOV replication. The NPC1 receptor expression level in M. condylurus primary cells differed depending on the organ they were derived from and was for most cell types significantly lower than in human cell lines. Immortalized cells showed for most cell types higher expression levels than their corresponding primary cells. Concluding from our infection experiments with EBOV we suggest a potential correlation between NPC1 receptor expression level and virus replication rate in vitro.
Can you keep a secret? An artefact and exegetical essay investigating the poetics of children's rhymes and verse
Creators: name: Carthew, Mark
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This submission consists of two complementary creative works: an anthology of children's rhymes Can You Keep a Secret? Timeless Rhymes to Share and Treasure (Carthew 2008a); and a companion music CD, Timeless Songs to Share and Treasure (Carthew 2009). Random House Australia published both the anthology and the CD. The submission is accompanied by an exegesis that explores how these creative works came into being, and the attraction of the rhymes and songs that led to their selection. The exegesis also explores the resonance of these children‘s rhymes; and the poetic, musical and kinaesthetic features that led to their grouping in the six chapters—nursery rhymes, playtime rhymes, action rhymes, counting rhymes, finger-plays, and lullabies and gentle rhymes. The overarching genre of ‗nursery rhymes‘ is acknowledged as part of the oral tradition in literary lore and for the purposes of this exegesis are defined as rhymes for early childhood often, though not exclusively, characterised by a traditional or historical heritage. The selections, placement and musical arrangements in these collections provide a distinctive way of connecting with or being with these rhymes, therefore providing insight into their individual and collective aesthetic and poetic functioning.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Overlap between starting model (lighter shades) and final configuration (darker shades) of the J-GFP-F (two models: a and b) and J/F-GFP constructs (one model each), after 250 ns of molecular dynamics simulation. The generated models were minimized, placed in a cubic water box, minimized again, equilibrated and, for each construct, 250 ns of molecular dynamics simulation were performed. Large rearragements of the Jun/Fos domains were observed. Construct domains are color coded as follow: GFP (green), Jun (blue), Fos (red). Figure S2. (a) Representative FESEM images of the isolated IBs for each construct: GFP IBs, J-GFP-F IBs and J/F-GFP IBs. Bars size represent 200 nm.

Is the world of venture capital investors turning flat? Perspectives of radical strategic changes in high-technology new venture
Creators: name: Benjamin, Eyal

description: High-technology new ventures (HTNVs) usually operate in a dynamic environment, with high levels of uncertainty; therefore they often require radical changes in strategy. The perspective of venture capital investors (VCs)---the main source of funding for HTNVs---towards radical changes in strategy (RSC) is therefore crucial to the understanding causes of radical strategic change in these new ventures. This paper examines the effect of cultural differences on the approach of VCs to RSC. A mixed-method methodology of semi-structured interviews was employed to compare Israeli with non-Israeli investor groups. Most of the investors agreed that radical strategic changes are likely to occur in new ventures, but they did not consider them to be favourable events. While previous research suggested that cultural differences should be expected, our findings surprisingly indicated limited cross-cultural differences among the VCs. Unlike the non-Israeli investors, the Israeli investors deemed RSC events to be influenced significantly more by internal causes than by external ones. Based on the findings, we conclude that VCs from different developed countries share fairly similar views of RSC in HTNVs. A possible explanation of this lack of difference might be the comparatively small VC community and globalization of the high-technology venture markets.
