Investigating variation in teaching with technology-rich intervention
Creators: name: Dunn, Margaret Breslin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: A main question this dissertation addresses is: what variation in teaching and  teacher training matter? This question is examined within a specific but important context: the scale-up of a technology-rich intervention focused on the algebra strand of 8th grade mathematics. I conducted a multi-level case study by gathering and analyzing data at all three levels of a train-the-trainer model of teacher professional development: from training of regional trainers, to teacher training, to classroom enactment. This case study was contextualized by a larger randomized experiment in the Scaling up SimCalc project. The larger project demonstrated the SimCalc intervention produced robust effects on student learning. Although treatment classrooms outperformed control classrooms, there was variation in student outcomes among teachers who used SimCalc. In the multi-level case studies, I sought to understand why two particular teachers had very different levels of student outcomes. This puzzle was unraveled using a mixed methodology by first searching for distinctive features of their enactments that may have influenced student outcomes, and then looking for connections between these features and the teacher training workshop attended. Within this framework, the investigation provides arguments for these key  findings:  1) Within the specific context of the SimCalc intervention, a wide variety of enactments may be acceptable and successful, provided a) the main ideas are presented accurately, b) students are given adequate time and c) students are given a reasonable amount of autonomy with the materials.  2) Assuming a robust intervention, there may be unexpected benefits in allowing teachers to enact materials within a comfort-zone of teaching that he/she finds effective in his/her classroom.  3) The training workshops were successful in broad goals, but less successful in  communicating other more pedagogically-based goals to all teachers. This dissertation is significant in that 1) it documents successful teaching  practices in a prominent, successful scale-up experiment, 2) it investigates a complete “train-the-trainer” process, 3) it sheds light on the complex relationship between a teacher’s mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) and the quality of enacted instruction, and 4) it provides practical insight to trainers of short-term workshops, most notably: be realistic about what training can and cannot accomplish.

Tracing Milin's development of inductive reasoning
Creators: name: Sran, Manjit Kaur
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: This study examined how Milin, a nine-year old student, justified his solutions to towers of a variety of heights over a 13 month period. Specifically, it sought to identify heuristics, strategies, and forms of reasoning and argumentation used by Milin in building and supporting his reasoning by partial cases, cases, and then an inductive argument. The research also traced how Milin's ideas traveled to other students. Videotape recordings of Milin's work on towers task and its extensions were analyzed along with his written work, written assessments and the researcher's field notes.  The video data consisted of two problem-solving sessions, three individual task-based interviews, a small group assessment, and a whole class discussion. As Milin searched for and sought to justify a global solution for the towers problem, he constructed mathematical ideas by continuously evolving the heuristics and strategies employed. He started by making random towers using a "guess and check" method, where he would randomly create a tower and then compared it with existing towers to identify duplicates. He then proceeded to use local organization strategies to create pairs of towers.  This included opposites by color, opposites by inverting and a hybrid strategy. Later, Milin moved towards more refined local organizations such as staircase patterns.  When these schemes also proved inadequate to justify a complete solution, Milin developed a family strategy, based on a doubling pattern he had uncovered.  This strategy gave him a global organization method. The progression to the global solution was an iterative process in which Milin revisited earlier strategies.  Milin also used various forms of reasoning to account for all towers. These included amount of time elapsed between building towers, the concept of "partner" towers, justification by contradiction, cases, doubling rule, and the family strategy.  Milin shared his inductive argument with three other students during a small group assessment session.  Almost one year later, he re-explained his inductive argument to his partner, Michelle, while working on another task.  In turn she shared this argument with other class mates, culminating with one student presenting it to the entire class.  The students appeared to understand and retain Milin's strategy better when involved in solving the problem themselves.    This case study contributes the body of research in several ways.  It documents strategies used by young students to build models of reasoning and argumentation. It also provides support for Davis and Maher's idea that building understanding is not a linear process in that new ideas are built from previous ideas.  Finally, this study contributes to the broader collection of case studies from the longitudinal study at Rutgers University.

description: Background Serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) level<100 IU/ml and undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA has been recently proposed as an alternate endpoint of “partial cure” in chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We investigated clinical outcomes of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative CHB patients with HBsAg <100 IU/ml and undetectable HBV DNA. Methods Treatment-naïve HBeAg-negative CHB patients with undetectable HBV DNA and normal alanine aminotransferase were retrospectively included from three institutions. Patients were classified into low HBsAg group (<100 IU/ml) and high HBsAg group (≥100 IU/ml). Liver fibrosis was evaluated by noninvasive tests (NITs). Results A total of 1218 patients were included and the median age was 41.5 years. Patients with low HBsAg were older (45.0 vs. 40.0 years, P<0.001) than those in high HBsAg group, while the NITs parameters were comparable between groups. During a median follow-up of 25.7 months, patients with low HBsAg achieved a higher HBsAg clearance rate (13.0% vs. 0%, P<0.001) and a lower rate of significant fibrosis development (2.2% vs. 7.0%, P=0.049) compared to patients with high HBsAg. No patient developed HCC in both groups. HBsAg level was negatively associated with HBsAg clearance (HR 0.213, P<0.001) and patients with HBsAg<100 IU/ml had a low risk of significant fibrosis development (HR 0.010, P=0.002). The optimal cutoff value of HBsAg for predicting HBsAg clearance was 1.1 Log10 IU/ml. Conclusions Treatment-naïve HBeAg-negative CHB patients with HBsAg <100 IU/ml and undetectable HBV DNA had favorable outcomes with a high rate of HBsAg clearance and low risk of fibrosis progression.

Regression analysis of self-regulatory concepts to predict community college math achievement and persistence
Creators: name: Gramlich, Stephen Peter
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Open door admissions at community colleges bring returning adults, first timers, low achievers, disabled persons, and immigrants. Passing and retention rates for remedial and non-developmental math courses can be comparatively inadequate (LAVC, 2005; CCPRDC, 2000; SBCC, 2004; Seybert & Soltz, 1992; Waycaster, 2002).  Mathematics achievement historically has been a subject of concern with community colleges, universities, and primary schools (Davis, 1994; MEC, 1997; NCTM, 1989, 2000; Wang-Iverson, 1998). An important statistic of community colleges is that more than 83% of students work full or part-time (NEDRC, 2000; Phillippe & Patton, 2000). Conventional homework time estimates can range from 1-3 hours of homework for every hour of in-class instruction.  Self-regulatory learning has been proposed to improve opportunity for math achievement (Bembenutty, 2005; Ironsmith et al., 2003; Jones & Byrnes, 2006; Pajares & Graham, 1999; Schunk, 1990). Seventeen research questions were made to explore the relative influences of goal setting, time planning, and time usage on mathematics achievement and persistence. Math students from 8 classes at a large, northeastern community college were administered 3 surveys asking self-regulatory questions.Results were found from descriptive statistics, frequency distributions, correlation matrices, t-tests, multiple regressions, and logistic regressions. Goal setting and time management were significant contributors in the model for predicting non-remedial students' final average. With respect to remedial students' final average, goal setting was related but all of the time planning and usage variables were not. Non-remedial students may have been more realistic about their course goals. However, non-remedial students were overly optimistic about allocating their time. No practical information regarding math student persistence beyond the first exam was found. Notable statistics from this study included: students spent about 5 to 6 hours per week on their math homework and over 80% worked at least 15 hours per week. Students worked more job hours on average than on all class homework. A possible recommendation to improve achievement is an extra class time for doing homework. Another implication is math educators, first-year workshops, and textbooks could teach the skills necessary for students to create suitable time management schedules and strategies that support students' course goals.
Civic education among historically marginalized youth in an urban setting
Creators: name: Burroughs, Greer

description: Many American citizens have remained outside of the political process and therefore have not been able to effectively advocate for the full rights, privileges and responsibilities that American citizenship makes possible. For youth from historically marginalized populations who are growing up in lower-income urban areas, the issue becomes complicated by structural and social forces that impact the community and the schools. Although education may be a vehicle to provide young people with the requisite elements for civic engagement, questions abound as to what "type" of civic education curricula and instruction may be successful amidst the complex context of low-performing schools and urban communities. This dissertation investigated a classroom and curriculum in-use to better understand the contextual factors that inhibit or advance learning in this environment. The sample class, eighth grade students at an urban middle school, was observed as they engaged in a study of the citizen's role in the public policy making process using the Center for Civic Education's Project Citizen Curriculum. Following a qualitative case study model multiple methods of data collection were employed that allowed for the students' experiences to be explored in depth. Findings from this study provide educators and policy-makers with crucial insights to: curriculum materials and teaching strategies that the students related well to; promising practices to increase student performance; and a greater understanding of the students' knowledge and skills beyond what standardized test scores can reveal. The findings also challenge traditional notions of citizenship education and consider practices that may have specific relevance to historically marginalized populations.

description: Despite no carbapenem use in food animals, carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) perseveres within food animals, rising significant concerns regarding public health risks originating from these non-clinical reservoirs. To investigate the potential link between CRKP in food animals and its infections in humans, we conducted a cross-sectional study encompassing human clinical, meat products, and farm animals, in Qingdao city, Shandong province, China. We observed a relatively higher presence of CRKP among hospital inpatients (7.3%) compared to that in the meat products (2.7%) and farm animals (pig, 4.6%; chicken, 0.63%). Multilocus sequence typing and core-genome phylogenetic analyses confirms there is no evidence of farm animals and meat products in the clinical acquisition of K. pneumoniae isolates and carbapenem-resistant genes. However, potential transmission of K. pneumoniae of ST659 and IncX3 plasmid harboring blaNDM-5 gene from pigs to pork and farm workers was observed. Our findings suggest a limited role of farm animals and meat products in the human clinical acquisition of K. pneumoniae, and the transmission of K. pneumoniae is more common within settings, than between them.
A phenomenological study of gifted adolescents and their engagement with one-on-line learning system
Creators: name: Swicord, Barbara
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Little research exists on the nature of the interactions between gifted students and the use of technology. Furthermore, no research has investigated the phenomenon of gifted adolescents using one internet-based program, the Renzulli Learning System (RLS). Renzulli Learning is an on-line educational profile with a matching database that provides enrichment resources, generating students' creative productivity and high-end learning. Its goal is to connect student interests, learning styles, and expression styles with an expansive array of educational activities and resources. This qualitative study describes what happens when students are using the Renzulli Learning System (RLS), exploring how students approach, employ, and use Renzulli Learning. The student sample included nine students, who were identified for and participated in a 7th and 8th grade gifted and talented program in an urban school district in Connecticut who had been using RLS for an average of two years. The students participated in an electronic questionnaire and were interviewed by the researcher during two semi-structured interviews. Research questions sought to describe how gifted students use RLS in school as well as how students use it at home. The answers to the research questions suggested four main themes. The first dominant theme was that the Renzulli Learning System is an effective and desired tool for students as they attempt to achieve high grades and academic success in school. The other main themes were that RLS is used primarily in school, that it does not affect socialization, and that it is fun. The study supports the importance of further research in areas related to technology and gifted education.

Social perception and social abilities
Creators: name: Kaiser, Martha Danielle
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Vision scientists have historically motivated their studies of the perception of human movement by asserting that successful social behavior depends upon it. But does it? Five psychophysical studies were performed to address this question. To the extent that social capabilities are related to visual sensitivity to human motion, observers with deficits in social function should show selective decrements in their visual sensitivity to human movement. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by impairments in social function and autistic traits extend into the general population. Thus, the magnitude of observers’ autistic traits can serve as a measure of their social skills. The experiments reported here utilized a point-light target detection task in which observers reported whether a display contained coherent human, animal, or object movement. Overall, typical observers were consistently most sensitive to the presence of coherent human movement. In Experiments 1 – 3, both typically developing children and typically developed adults exhibited this pattern of performance. In contrast, observers with ASD and typical observers with increased autistic traits demonstrated equivalent sensitivity to human and object motion. Experiment 4 examined the specificity of this effect by testing relative sensitivity to animal motion. The results of this study indicated that typical adult observers were better able to detect the presence of coherent human motion relative to animal or object motion. Furthermore, autistic traits only correlated with detection of human motion.  Experiment 5 tested whether a previously documented perceptual effect; namely, enhanced sensitivity to angry human motion, was related to social abilities.  The results of this study indicated that enhanced detection of potentially threatening, angry, human movement decreased as the magnitude of an observer’s autistic traits increased. Overall, the results of these studies support a tight coupling of laboratory studies of visual sensitivity to the presence of coherent human movement and social behavior outside of the laboratory.  Furthermore, these studies illustrate the promise of measuring autistic traits along a continuum of typical and atypical observers to study social behavior and its relation to performance on psychophysical tasks.

Legs: dL of I-L-2-6: 58, 46, 50, 65, 82; I-L-6 H 29, I-L-6 L/H ratio 2.8; dL of IV-L: 71, 66, 57, 83, 99, 92.
Female: Unknown.
Etymology: Named for its stocky palps.
Discussion: With the dorsal shield lacking a medial depression and with muscle scars visible only as lightly whitish areas, D. curtipalpis sp. nov. resembles D. amendano sp. nov (see below). The latter species can be distinguished by its comparatively long and more slender palpal segments, especially P-3 and P-4, and presence of a dorsal seta on P-1, Cx-III/IV with longitudinal striation, a wider gonopore and a different colour pattern of the dorsal shield (compare Figs. 37A–B with 37C).
Distribution: Ghana; known only from the type locality.

description: Serological studies of COVID-19 convalescent patients have identified polyclonal lineage-specific and cross-reactive antibodies (Abs), with varying effector functions against virus variants. Individual specificities of anti-SARS-CoV-2 Abs and their impact on infectivity by other variants have been little investigated to date. Here, we dissected at a monoclonal level neutralizing and enhancing Abs elicited by early variants and how they affect infectivity of emerging variants. B cells from 13 convalescent patients originally infected by D614G or Alpha variants were immortalized to isolate 445 naturally-produced anti-SARS-CoV-2 Abs. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were tested for their abilities to impact the cytopathic effect of D614G, Delta, and Omicron (BA.1) variants. Ninety-eight exhibited robust neutralization against at least one of the three variant types, while 309 showed minimal or no impact on infectivity. Thirty-eight mAbs enhanced infectivity of SARS-CoV-2. Infection with D614G/Alpha variants generated variant-specific (65 neutralizing Abs, 35 enhancing Abs) and cross-reactive (18 neutralizing Abs, 3 enhancing Abs) mAbs. Interestingly, among the neutralizing mAbs with cross-reactivity restricted to two of the three variants tested, none demonstrated specific neutralization of the Delta and Omicron variants. In contrast, cross-reactive mAbs enhancing infectivity (n = 3) were found exclusively specific to Delta and Omicron variants. Notably, two mAbs that amplified in vitro the cytopathic effect of the Delta variant also exhibited neutralization against Omicron. These findings shed light on functional diversity of cross-reactive Abs generated during SARS-CoV-2 infection and illustrate how the balance between neutralizing and enhancing Abs facilitate variant emergence.

Migration, prostitution and human trafficking Chinese migrant women in Shenzhen, China
Creators: name: Liu, Min
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: China has gone through a wide-ranging transformation in the last three decades since the Chinese government initiated economic reform and an open-door policy. A series of reform strategies, while producing an economic miracle in China, has, however,resulted in myriad social problems. The resurgence and prevalence of prostitution is one of these. Rarely have there been any attempts to explore prostitution in relation to human trafficking. This study tries to explore questions such as whether Chinese women in thesex sector are victims of trafficking, what are the factors causing Chinese women to get involved in prostitution or become victims of trafficking, how authorities respond to these issues in terms of laws and policies, and so on. This study was conducted in Shenzhen — China’s best known boomtown since the 1980’s, where many sex establishments involving internal migrants have been set up. Guided by qualitative methodological approach, a total of sixty-four interviews were conducted: forty with women working in sex venues, nine with sex-ring operators, and fifteen with law enforcement officers. Eight field observations were also completed. Participants included women practicing prostitution in four types of sex venues: nightclubs and karaoke lounges; massage parlors; hair salons; and the street. A variety of factors relating to women’s involvement in prostitution were discovered. Different paths to prostitution were identified and described. Six out of forty women were identified as trafficking victims. The organization and operation of sex venues and the life of women on the “job” were examined. In addition, China’s responses to the expanding sex industry were analyzed in terms of law and administrative regulations, as well as policies. The ineffectiveness of campaign-style policy and reasonsfor its failure to contain prostitution were also explored. While this study helps improve our knowledge and understanding of prostitution and sex trafficking in contemporary China and provides information for the Chinese authorities on the nature, magnitude, and gravity of these problems, some issues emanating from this study remain unanswered, such as the definition of terms such as exploitation, coercion, or forced work which are key elements in defining humantrafficking.

description: Animal models of COVID-19 facilitate the development of vaccines and antivirals against SARS-CoV-2. The efficacy of antivirals or vaccines may differ in different animal models with varied degrees of disease. Here, we introduce a mouse model expressing human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). In this model, ACE2 with the human cytokeratin 18 promoter was knocked into the Hipp11 locus of C57BL/6J mouse by CRISPR – Cas9 (K18-hACE2 KI). Upon intranasal inoculation with high (3 × 105 PFU) or low (2.5 × 102 PFU) dose of SARS-CoV-2 wildtype (WT), Delta, Omicron BA.1, or Omicron BA.2 variants, all mice showed obvious infection symptoms, including weight loss, high viral loads in the lung, and interstitial pneumonia. 100% lethality was observed in K18-hACE2 KI mice infected by variants with a delay of endpoint for Delta and BA.1, and a significantly attenuated pathogenicity was observed for BA.2. The pneumonia of infected mice was accompanied by the infiltration of neutrophils and pulmonary fibrosis in the lung. Compared with K18-hACE2 Tg mice and HFH4-hACE2 Tg mice, K18-hACE2 KI mice are more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2. In the antivirals test, REGN10933 and Remdesivir had limited antiviral efficacies in K18-hACE2 KI mice upon the challenge of SARS-CoV-2 infections, while Nirmatrelvir, monoclonal antibody 4G4, and mRNA vaccines potently protected the mice from death. Our results suggest that the K18-hACE2 KI mouse model is lethal and stable for SARS-CoV-2 infection, and is practicable and stringent to antiviral development.
Dehumanization beliefs and indiscriminate aggression

description: Indiscriminate aggression includes diverse instances of aggression or violence in which victims are haphazardly targeted, ranging in severity from lethal violence to relatively low levels of aggression.  High-profile perpetrators of indiscriminately aggressive acts have endorsed beliefs dehumanizing others, and it is likely that dehumanization beliefs may be associated with indiscriminate aggression at all levels of severity. It is posited that this aggression-supporting belief is uniquely associated with indiscriminate aggression.  The current investigation encompasses 1) the development and validation of an original measure of dehumanization beliefs, 2) an examination of the nature of dehumanization beliefs, 3) the development and validation of a measure of indiscriminately aggressive behavior and 4) an examination of the link between dehumanization beliefs and indiscriminate aggression.  Preliminary study 1 examined the role of emotional state in the perception of violent images using a mood induction paradigm. Results of preliminary study 1 indicate that angry individuals perceive videos of violent acts as more exciting and entertaining as compared to individuals who are not angry. Preliminary study 2 examined the correlates of identification with an indiscriminate aggressor using a questionnaire.  Results of preliminary study 2 indicate that identification with the Virginia Tech shooter was associated with aggressive behaviors and beliefs. Preliminary study 3 examined the reliability and validity of a new measure of dehumanization beliefs, the Dehumanization Beliefs Scale (DBS).  Results of preliminary study 3 indicate that the DBS is a reliable and valid measure of dehumanization beliefs. Dissertation study 1 examined the role of emotional state in the relation between dehumanization beliefs and rates of indiscriminately aggressive behavior using a mood induction paradigm.  Results of dissertation study 1 indicate that both anger and anxiety influence the relationship between dehumanization beliefs and indiscriminately aggressive behavior. Dissertation study 2 examined the relation between dehumanization beliefs and rates of indiscriminately aggressive behavior. Results of dissertation study 2 indicate that the degree to which an individual endorses dehumanization beliefs is related to rates of indiscriminately aggressive behavior. This work has implications for the prediction and prevention of indiscriminate aggression and violence.

Pseudorhombus arsius

description: Pseudorhombus arsius (Hamilton, 1822)
(Fig. 13)
Material examined. SMF 35082 (2: 9.2–18.3 cm); KAUMM 127 (1: 16.3 cm).
Remarks. Nielsen (1984) included in his distributional map two species of Pseudorhombus occurring in the Red Sea, P. arsius and P. elevatus Ogilby, 1912, without confirmation by voucher specimens. The former species was included by Dor (1970) in his report on Red Sea fishes, but the single specimen (HUJF 4906) on which the record was based is now lost (D. Golani, pers. comm.). Later, Golani & Bogorodsky (2010) listed only one species P. el e va t us and excluded P. arsius. The trawled specimens of the area off Jizan were identified as Pseudorhombus arsius on the basis of a combination of following characters: dorsal-fin rays 76 or 77, presence of small canine teeth at front of upper jaw, and small canines at front and anterior half on each side of lower jaw (those on ocular side a little larger than on blind side). Additional morphometric and meristic characters: anal-fin rays 59–61; pectoral-fin rays 12; gill rakers 3 or 4 + 10 or 11; body depth 2.0– 2.1 in SL; head length 3.3–3.5 in SL; snout length 4.5–4.7 in head length; upper-jaw length 2.3–2.4 in head length; orbit diameter of upper eye 3.8–4.0 in head length; pectoral-fin length 1.6–1.7 in head length.
Color (when fresh): ocular side yellowish brown, mottled and blotched with darker brown, with a large blackish blotch at junction of curved and straight part of lateral line, blackish blotch in middle of straight part on posterior half of body, and several indistinct dark blotches above and below lateral line; all blotches contain small, scattered, bright orange-yellow spots; fins paler than ocular side of body. The record of P. elevatus from the Red Sea still is doubtful; it differs from P. ar s i u s by lacking enlarged teeth anteriorly in the jaws, and by having 67–74 dorsal rays and dark rings on body (Amaoka & Hensley 2001).

description: This research examined the relationships among structural empowerment, psychological empowerment and burnout in a sample of staff nurses working in chronic hemodialysis units. The study examined relationships between the independent variable, structural empowerment and the dependent variable burnout, as well as exploring the relationship between psychological empowerment and burnout and between the two independent variables structural empowerment and psychological empowerment. A mediation model was tested to explain the relationship between structural empowerment, psychological empowerment and burnout.  A correlational research design was used. A convenience sample of 233 staff nurses between the ages of 24 and 68 was attained from a national organization of nephrology nurses. A self-administered, paper and pencil, mailed survey was used to collect data using four instruments: (a) Demographic data, (b) The Maslach-Burnout Inventory-Emotional Exhaustion Subscale, (c) The Psychological Empowerment Scale, and (d) The Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-II.  Statistically significant negative correlations were found between structural empowerment and burnout (r = - .44, p < .01) and psychological empowerment and burnout (r = - .34, p
