description: The granting process is based on the probability that the applicant will refund his/her loan given his/her characteristics. This probability, also called score, is learnt based on a dataset in which rejected applicants are excluded. Thus, the population on which the score is used is different from the learning population. Many ``reject inference'' methods try to exploit the data available from the rejected applicants in the learning process. However, most of these methods are empirical and lack of formalization of their assumptions, and of their expected theoretical properties. We formalize such hidden assumptions in a general missing data setting for some of the most common reject inference methods. It reveals that hidden modelling is mostly incomplete, thus prohibiting to compare existing methods within the general model selection mechanism (except by financing ``non-fundable'' applicants). So, we assess performance of the methods on both simulated data and real data (from CACF, a major European loan issuer). Unsurprisingly, no method seems uniformly dominant. Both these theoretical and empirical results not only reinforce the idea to carefully use the classical reject inference methods but also to invest in future research works for designing model-based reject inference methods (without financing ``non-fundable'' applicants).

description: The layered triangular lattice owing to $1:2$ order of $B$ and $B'$ sites in the triple perovskite $A_3 B B'_2$O$_9$ family provides an enticing domain for exploring the complex phenomena of quantum spin liquids (QSLs). We report a comprehensive investigation of the ground state properties of Sr$_3$CuTa$_2$O$_9$ that belongs to the above family, by employing magnetization, specific heat, and muon spin relaxation ($μ$SR) experiments down to the lowest temperature of 0.1~K. Analysis of the magnetic susceptibility indicates that the spin-lattice is a nearly isotropic $S = 1/2$ triangular lattice. We illustrate the observation of a gapless QSL, in which conventional spin ordering or freezing effects are absent, even at temperatures more than two orders of magnitude smaller than the exchange energy ($J_{\rm CW}/k_{\rm B} \simeq -5.04$~K). Magnetic specific heat in zero-field follows a power law, $C_{\rm m} \sim T^η$, below 1.2~K with $η\approx 2/3$, which is consistent with a theoretical proposal of the presence of spinon Fermi surface. Below 1.2~K, the $μ$SR relaxation rate shows no temperature dependence, suggesting persistent spin dynamics as expected for a QSL state. Delving deeper, we also analyze longitudinal field $μ$SR spectra revealing strong dynamical correlations in the spin-disordered ground state. All of these highlight the characteristics of spin entanglement in the QSL state.

Education Challenges - Quality and Inclusion

Subjects: Education Challenges

description: India's education sector is indeed in a bad state. There are serious problems with respect to access to education itself, and quality education is simply not available. 89% of kids of primary school-going age of the richest 20 per cent of the population attend school both in the rural and urban areas, while that proportion drops to 79% for kids in the poorest fifth of the population in rural areas and 78% in urban areas. But, attendance drops sharply when it comes to secondary school and becomes worse at the higher secondary level. Also, the difference between the richest and the poorest in enrolment widens sharply from the primary section to the secondary and higher educational levels.
 The gulf between the poor and the rich widens as we go up the ladder. Only 6% of young people from the bottom 20 per cent of the population attend educational levels above higher secondary in urban India, while 31% among the richest 20 per cent of the population attend secondary school. The middle class is also substantially disadvantaged when it comes to higher education. The situation is substantially worse in rural India. What happens, therefore is that the richer children have much better opportunities for higher education, essential for getting good jobs in the cities. These are also the children who travel abroad for jobs and for higher education. The poorer children must then work in the informal sector at low wages and remain vulnerable.

description: The purpose of this causal comparative study was to identify a relationship between student achievement in 9th and 12th grade English classes and teachers’ communication with parents/guardians at an urban high school in Southern Baltimore County. The study also examined teacher and student perceptions of parent involvement and increased motivation for academic achievement. This was determined by comparing students’ first and third quarter grades with the amount of parent-teacher communication that occurred during each quarter. Surveys of the participating English students and the school’s teachers were conducted to determine perceptions of student achievement, parent/guardian and teacher communication, and strategies to increase involvement. The research found that parent-teacher communication had little to no effect on the students’ academic achievement. The surveys indicated that while students felt pressure to achieve success academically in school, the perceived parental involvement in the educational process was notably low from students and teachers. It is concluded that more research must be conducted on parental involvement at the secondary level to encourage parental involvement and increase student motivation for academic success.

description: Abstract: Background. Workplace violence by patients and bystanders against health care workers, is a major problem, for workers, organizations, patients, and society. It is estimated to affect up to 95% of health care workers. Emergency health care workers experience very high levels of workplace violence, with one study finding that paramedics had nearly triple the odds of experiencing physical and verbal violence. Many interventions have been developed, ranging from zero-tolerance approaches to engaging with the violent perpetrator. Unfortunately, as a recent Cochrane review showed, there is no evidence that any of these interventions work in reducing or minimizing violence. To design better interventions to prevent and minimize workplace violence, more information is needed on those strategies emergency health care workers currently use to prevent or minimize violence. The objective of the study was to identify and discuss strategies used by prehospital emergency health care workers, in response to violence and aggression from patients and bystanders. Mapping the strategies used and their perceived usefulness will inform the development of tailored interventions to reduce the risk of serious harm to health care workers. In this study the following research questions were addressed: (1) What strategies do prehospital emergency health care workers utilize against workplace violence from patients or bystanders? (2) What is their experience with these strategies? Methods Five focus groups with paramedics and dispatchers were held at different urban and rural locations in Canada. The focus group responses were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results It became apparent that emergency healthcare workers use a variety of strategies when dealing with violent patients or bystanders. Most strategies, other than generic de-escalation techniques, reflect a reliance on the systems the workers work with and within. Conclusion The study results support the move away from focusing on the individual worker, who is the victim, to a systems-based approach to help reduce and minimize violence against health care workers. For this to be effective, system-based strategies need to be implemented and supported in healthcare organizations and legitimized through professional bodies, unions, public policies, and regulations.

description: The nonequilibrium dynamics of long-range pairing Kitaev model with noiseless/noisy linear time dependent chemical potential, is investigated in the frame work of dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs). We have shown for the ramp crosses a single quantum critical point, while the short-range pairing Kitaev model displays a single critical time scale, the long-range pairing induces a region with three DQPTs time scales. We have found that the region with three DQPTs time scales shrinks in the presence of the noise. In addition, we have uncovered for a quench crossess two critical points, the critical sweep velocity above which the DQPTs disappear, enhances by the long-range pairing exponent while decreases in the presence of the noise. On the basis of numerical simulations, we have shown that noise diminishes the long-range pairing inductions.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of re-teaching and extension activities would improve student achievement on quarterly benchmark assessments in an eighth grade science classroom. The measurement tools used were the quarter one and quarter two eighth grade science benchmark exams. The design of this experiment was quasi-experimental using a pre-test and posttest comparison to examine the data. Achievement among all student groups from benchmark one to benchmark two improved; however, the gains in achievement were not statistically significant. In order to completely understand how re-teaching and extension activities can affect student achievement more research must be completed.

description: In einer Literaturstudie mit dem Ziel, sensitive Organismen und organismische Endpunkte sowie geeignete in vitro-Testsysteme für ein Biomonitoring von Arzneimitteln zu identifizieren, wurde die bestehende Datenbank OEKOTOX um Wirkdaten für 90 Arzneimittel von hoher Priorität bis 2013 erweitert. Niedrigste Effektkonzentrationen wurden identifiziert und die jeweiligen Studien auf Reliabilität überprüft. Reliable MECmax/LOECmin-Werte >0.1 wurden für Diclofenac bei mehr als 3 Organismengruppen und für Propranolol, Sulfamethoxazol, Bezafibrat, 17á-Ethinlyestradiol, 17â-Estradiol und Oxytetrazyclin bei 2 Organismengruppen identifiziert. Als reliabel sensitivste Organismen erwiesen sich Danio rerio, Oncorhynchus mykiss, Oryzias latipes, Elliptio complanata und Potamopyrgus antipodarum. Der sensitivste Wirkendpunkt waren Verhaltensänderungen. Des Weiteren wurden der Wissensstand zu in vitro-Verfahren zum Nachweis von Arzneimittel-Effekten sowie Vor- und Nachteile dieser biochemischen und zellbasierten Assays recherchiert. Auf dieser Basis wird für ein künftiges Biomonitoring von Arzneimitteln empfohlen, Wirkstoffklassen-spezifische in vitro-Testsysteme für â-Blocker und nichtsteroidale Analgetika zu entwickeln und deren Signale mit in vivo-Reaktionen o.g. sensitiver bzw. für deutsche Fließgewässer relevanter Organismen abzugleichen.

description: In a literature review aiming at identifying sensitive organisms, biological endpoints in vivo, and suitable in vitro test systems for a biomonitoring of pharmaceuticals, the database OEKOTOX was upgraded with effect data published for 90 pharmaceuticals of high priority until 2013. Lowest effect concentrations were identified and the respective studies checked for reliability. Reliable MECmax/LOECmin-values >0.1 for a minimum of 3 different biota classes were identified for diclofenac and, for 2 biota classes, for propranolol, sulfamethoxazole, bezafibrate, 17á-ethinlyestradiol, 17â-estradiol and oxytetracycline. The reliably most sensitive organisms were Danio rerio, Oncorhynchus mykiss, Oryzias latipes, Elliptio complanata, and Potamopyrgus antipodarum. The most sensitive endpoint was behavioural change. Furthermore, the state of knowledge in the field of in vitro testing of pharmaceutical effects as well as advantages and disadvantages of these biochemical and cell-based assays were reviewed. As a future perspective for a biomonitoring of pharmaceuticals, the development of mode of action-based in vitro test systems for â-blockers and NSAIDs are recommended. Signals obtained by these assays should be aligned with in vivo responses of the above mentioned sensitive organisms or environmentally relevant biota of German streams.

description: We propose to produce a snow water equivalent (SWE)  product at a spatial resolution of 20 meters. The product will be available for selected mountain basins in South Tyrol on a daily temporal resolution, updated on a yearly basis. We rely on a multi-sensor EO SWE reconstruction method using Sentinel-2, MODIS, potentially Sentinel-1 and in-situ data. The information will be of value for different applications such as earth system models, irrigation planning and hydro power planning (e.g. Eumetsat/ZAMG). The Province of South Tyrol is a local stakeholder planning to evaluate the data for their hydrological planning activities.
Stakeholder needs: 

High-resolution and daily data over some selected hydrological catchments that are relevant for the Hydrological Office of the Province of Bolzano;
Open access data that respect the FAIR principle, easy to access and download. 
Planned implementation:
Implementation steps include: 

High-resolution snow cover classification (Sentinel-2 or Landsat data);
Data fusion algorithm to obtain daily high-resolution snow cover data (merging high-resolution snow cover maps with low-resolution snow cover maps, such as MODIS);
SWE reconstruction using a degree-day model forced with available in-situ temperature or re-analysis data;
Implementation in OpenEO to upscale the algorithm.

Philopatry as a Tool to Define Tentative Closed Migration Cycles and Conservation Areas for Large Pelagic Fishes in the Pacific
Creators: name: Relano, Veronica
name: Pauly, D. (Daniel)
Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2022

description: Migrations of large pelagic fishes across the Pacific are usually inferred from tagging or genetic studies. Even though these techniques have improved over time, they still fail to demonstrate large transoceanic migrations, usually proposing ‘routes’ that do not cycle seasonally. The current study uses the concept of ‘philopatry’ in 11 large pelagic fish species, i.e., the tendency for animals to return to their natal site to reproduce. Tentative migration routes and maps emerge by applying this concept to the movements extracted through a comprehensive review of the literature on satellite and conventional tagging, and population and subpopulation linkages inferred from genetic and/or genomic studies. Moreover, when comparing these proposed migration routes and the mapped reconstructed catch (1950–2016, Sea Around Us) of each species in the Pacific, similarities emerge, reinforcing the accuracy of these migration cycles informed by philopatry. Finally, by superposing the migration routes of our 11 species, we identified areas of the Pacific that are part of the inferred migration routes of multiple species, leading to a discussion of possible ‘blue corridors’ that would protect the studied species’ key migration routes and stocks, which are important for the fisheries, culture and nutrition of Pacific islanders.

description: The paper first analyses the concept of citizenship throughout history, illustrating how the concept of citizenship has varied and changed throughout the years and has constantly been exclusionary, depending heavily on an 'other' to define itself coherently. With this perspective, the paper then looks at the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act of 2019, particularly the arguments surrounding it. After a critical review of the arguments, it takes up the view that the whole affair was concocted as a vote banking strategy for the majoritarian party. The various citizenship laws of other countries have been analysed in terms of their leniency towards granting citizenship. Furthermore, the economic question of migrants is briefly discussed, with data showing the increase of remittances by migrants from nine different countries. The paper concludes by questioning whether a concept of 'citizen' is actually meaningful, given our current humanitarian issues and argues for replacing the concept of 'citizen' with that of a ‘cosmopolitan.'The paper first analyses the concept of citizenship throughout history, illustrating how the concept of citizenship has varied and changed throughout the years and has constantly been exclusionary, depending heavily on an 'other' to define itself coherently.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between academic and athletic
performance of collegiate male soccer student-athletes; student-athletes were measured using
two assessments, the Cooper Test and Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) IQ equivalency
scores. The study used a correlational design. Eighteen (n = 18), student-athletes from a small
Division III soccer program participated in the study. All eighteen student-athletes were earning a
four-year degree at the institution at the time of the study. The researcher hypothesized that a
positive relationship would be present between academic and athletic performance. In this
regard, the null hypothesis was not rejected. Statistical results supported that no significant
relationship existed between the two variables. The insignificant results from the study do not
affirm or reject existing forms of research in the field of student-athlete achievement and
performance. Recommendations for future research include using a larger and diverse sample,
random selection of participants, collecting data in several realms of academic and athletic
performance, and encouraging the researcher to have no prior relationships with the student-athletes.

subject: Creative writing (incl. scriptwriting)

description: Background: In the neoliberal context of 'the burnout society' (philosopher Byung-Chul Han) and corresponding ecological emergency, scholars, artists and tourism groups are exploring forms of collective encounter and travel that value slowness rather than speed; dwelling rather than consumption. From critical tourism studies comes the concept of 'mobile neighbouring' (Veijola), but how might such events play out in practice? And how can modes of nonfiction report and reflect upon such experiments in such a way as to convey, both from the inside of the experience and with distance, their 'affective atmosphere?' (Anderson) Contribution: This essay reports on the experience of a 'SlowLab' camp held in Finnish Lapland that brought together artists, scholars and tourism entrepreneurs. It contributes to the field of literary nonfiction practice by adopting Barthes' concept of 'preparations' (from his Preparations for the Novel) as a formal device to convey the atmosphere of intimacy and lingering (Han) engendered by the SlowLab. By shifting in and out of first- and second-person address, the essay invites reflection on point of view and relationality that adds affective resonance to its themes, drawn from the camp itself, of 'being-alongside' (Latimer) and 'being in the company of' (Carlin and Rendle-Short). Significance: The project was funded by a competitive grant for industry-linked research from TEKES, Finland. The essay was a Finalist in the 8th Annual Nonfiction Contest of the US-based Terrain.org: A Journal of the Built + Natural Environments, the world's first place-based online journal and is the world's longest-publishing online literary journal. In 2018 Terrain.org reached over 141,000 unique visitors with 267,000 page-views.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a comprehension strategy intervention
on the mathematical word problem performance of fifth grade students in the area of
comprehension development. A pretest/posttest, quasi-experimental design was selected for this
study. The class selected to participate scored the lowest out of the two math classes the
researcher taught on the Maryland School Assessment for 2009-2010 in Reading and Math. All
were performing below and almost below grade level in reading and mathematics. An additional
math class also taught by the researcher served as the control group. Comprehension strategies
for mathematical word problem solving were taught three days a week for 30-minute intervals
from March 2011 to the first week of May 2011. Analysis of the data suggested the current
study does not clearly support the implementation of the comprehension intervention; however,
there were considerable differences between the pre- and posttest scores of the treatment group.
Based on the results of this study, further research should be conducted at different grade levels
and for a longer period of time to examine whether the use of a comprehension intervention
involving mathematical word problems improves reading comprehension of mathematical word
problems.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if students in third grade receiving special education services improved their overall phonics/decoding skills with the use of instructional technologies. The participants of this study were enrolled in third grade at Glen Burnie Park Elementary School in Anne Arundel County for the 2010- 2011 school year. All of the students received a multi-sensory phonics intervention in a small group setting in special education while the treatment group (technology) was allowed access to instructional technologies, such as the Smartboard, Airliner Slate, and/or Document Camera, during instruction. Both groups participated in 45 minute smallgroup instruction for 4 days per week. While the technology group increased their scores more than the non-technology group on the post-test, the outcome was not significant. Therefore, the hypothesis was not supported. Research in this area should continue to determine the effectiveness of phonics instruction with the use of instructional technologies and student motivation.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if creating a supportive reading community among students and adults would encourage students to read independently more than without the support of a community. The study used a quasi experimental design to determine and compare the independent reading minutes, before, during and after instituting a student reading community during the school day. The intervention consisted of a small group setting of four to five students meeting in homogeneous groups by gender, but heterogeneously grouped by ability. Each group met twice a week for seven weeks. One instrument that was used to collect data was the students’ reading logs, which each student filled out each time they read independently. Another instrument was observation logs, written during the intervention process. The pre-intervention data, number of minutes read independently each week, was collected weekly beginning January 20, 2011. Beginning March 7, 2011, the intervention began and data was collected at the same intervals. May 9, 2011 ended the intervention and post-intervention data was collected till the end of the school year in June, 2011. The results of the study were compared to the pre-intervention data of minutes and to the post-intervention data of minutes. There was significant improvement while the support group intervention was in place. No significant improvement was recorded for the long term effect of intervention. Future research on this area could involve a long term study on the effects of group support that are heterogeneously grouping by gender and ability as well as the effects on writing ability due to increased reading time.

Numerical Modelling Challenges in Rock Engineering with Special Consideration of Open Pit to Underground Mine Interaction

description: This paper raises important questions about the way we approach numerical analysis in rock engineering design. The application of advanced numerical models is essential to adequately analyze and design different geotechnical aspects of pit-to-cave transitions. We present a critical review of numerical methods centered around the hypothesis that a model is not, and cannot be, a perfect imitation of reality; therefore, numerical modelling of large-scale mining projects requires the real problem to be idealized and simplified. The discussion highlights the dichotomy of continuum vs. discontinuum modelling and the important question of whether continuum models can effectively capture dynamic continuum-to-discontinuum processes typical of cave mining. The discussion is complemented by examples of hybrid continuum-discontinuum models to analyze the important problem of transitioning from surface (open pit) mining to underground mass mining (caving). The results demonstrate the hypothesis that forward modelling should be performed in the context of a risk-based approach, with numerical models becoming investigative tools to assess risk and evaluate the impact of different unknowns, thus classifying modelling outputs in terms of expected consequences.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether a six-month before school math program
would increase the math achievement of selected fifth graders enrolled in a public elementary
school in Maryland. The measurement tool used to assess student achievement was the Math
component of the Maryland School Assessment (MSA). This study involved the use of a
pretest/posttest quasi-experimental design to compare data from March of 2010 test
administration (before the intervention was administered) to data from March of 2011 test
administration (after the intervention was completed). Data were gathered on an experimental
and control group on the MSA for grades four and five Math. An analysis of the data indicates
that achievement gains were not significant, though results could be attributable to several
intervening factors and threats to validity. Research in the area of elementary math remediation
should continue given the continued disagreement regarding best practices needed to improve
student achievement in mathematics and the dire consequences for failing to provide remediation
and acceleration to struggling elementary math students.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the difference between literature-based instruction and
traditional reading instruction in promoting reading comprehension among first graders. The
measurement tool was DIBELS, Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills. This study
involved the use of a pretest/posttest design to compare data from January 2011 (before
implementation of literature-based instruction) to May 2011 (after the posttest was given).
Reading comprehension gains were not significant, though results could be attributable to a
number of intervening factors. Further research should continue in the area of literature-based
instruction given the more current research of best teaching practices and student needs.
