description: Que faut-il enseigner dans un cours d’informatique en tant que discipline fondamentale au gymnase ? Cette question exige d’avoir préalablement répondu à des interrogations de fond sur la science informatique. Comment la définir ? Quels sont ses objets de savoir propres ? Afin de contribuer au débat et d’apporter des éléments de réponse en amont de la transposition didactique, nous avons cherché à définir avec plus de précision les sous-domaines de l’informatique, en remplissant ces nombreuses “boîtes noires” avec des objets de savoir. Notre approche s’est appuyée, non pas sur la théorie, mais sur les pratiques actuelles dans les universités. Nous avons tout d’abord inventorié les cours figurant sur trois plans d’études universitaires, puis nous avons fait de même avec le contenu des descriptifs de cours. Finalement, nous proposons une représentation infographique qui, grâce à l’interactivité que nous autorise l’informatique, permet une appropriation intuitive et personnalisée de l’ensemble des objets de savoir répertoriés.

description: De nombreux professionnels des milieux de l’informatique et de l’enseignement considèrent que l’informatique scientifique doit aujourd’hui faire partie du cursus des élèves en écoles de maturité en tant que discipline fondamentale. Dans cette mouvance, en parallèle des réflexions au niveau de la conférence suisse des directeurs cantonaux de l’instruction publique, la société suisse pour l’informatique dans l’enseignement a élaboré une proposition de plan d’études. Dans la suite de ce travail, nous avons réalisé une transposition didactique du plan d’études pour créer un plan de cours d’informatique destinés à tous les élèves en école de maturité. Sur deux années à raison de deux périodes hebdomadaires, nous y abordons des notions telles que la représentation des données, l’algorithmique et la programmation, l’ordinateur et les réseaux. Dans l’objectif d’intéresser et motiver les élèves, nous adoptons une approche alternant théorie, exercices pratiques et mise en évidence des impacts sociétaux. Pour mobiliser leur mémoire à long terme, nous les faisons travailler sur tous les niveaux taxonomiques, y compris les plus élevés. Nous revenons également à plusieurs reprises sur les notions essentielles, en les complétant et en les précisant, de manière à mettre progressivement en lumière leurs caractéristiques essentielles. Notre travail est une proposition de plan de cours. Il est organisé en une séquence de neuf chapitres. Il ne « descend » pas en revanche jusqu’à la planification de chaque période de cours. En ce sens, il doit donc encore être détaillé avant d’être concrètement mis en oeuvre. Il doit également être confronté à la réalité du terrain pour valider ou corriger les choix réalisés, en particulier les choix de contenus, même si ceux-ci sont basés sur de nombreuses ressources actuelles disponibles sur le sujet.

description: Dans ce mémoire de diplôme nous proposons et nous analysons une activité didactique qui a pour but de vérifier si, dans l’enseignement des mathématiques, l’effort intellectuel des élèves pour trouver la manière de résoudre des exercices complexes a un impact positif sur l’apprentissage. Notre premier but est donc de vérifier si et comment c’est possible de mettre en évidence un tel effet en termes d’amélioration des notes. Un deuxième but est de stimuler auprès des élèves la prise de conscience sur l’importance de l’effort intellectuel. Evidemment, en ce qui concerne le deuxième but, nous pourrions faire tout simplement un grand discours aux élèves sur ce sujet. L’avantage dû à cette activité est que ce discours peut être basé sur les élaborés des élèves ainsi que sur leurs résultats en termes de notes, argument auquel ils sont notoirement sensibles.

Orbital Period Changes for Fourteen Novae and the Critical Failures of the Predictions of Standard Theories, the Hibernation Model, and the Magnetic Braking Model

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The evolution of novae and Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) is driven by changes in the binary orbital periods. In a direct and critical test for various evolution models and their physical mechanisms, I measure the sudden changes in the period ($ΔP$) across 14 nova eruptions and I measure the steady period change during quiescence ($\dot{P}$) for 20 inter-eruption intervals. The standard theory for $ΔP$ is dominated by the mechanism of mass loss, and this fails completely for the five novae with negative values, and it fails to permit the $ΔP$ for U Sco eruptions to change by one order-of-magnitude from eruption-to-eruption. The Hibernation Model of evolution is refuted because all the $ΔP$ measures are orders of magnitude too small to cause any significant drop in accretion luminosity, and indeed, near half of the nova have negative $ΔP$ as the opposite of the required mechanism for any hibernation state. As for the Magnetic Braking Model, this fails by many orders-of-magnitude in its predictions of the required $\dot{P}$ for 9-out-of-13 novae. The observed $\dot{P}$ values scatter, both positively and negatively, over a range of $\pm$10$^{-9}$, while the predicted values are from $-$10$^{-13}$ to $-$10$^{-11}$. This huge scatter is not possible with standard theory, and there must be some currently-unknown mechanism to be added in, with this new mechanism 100--10000$\times$ larger in effect than the current theory allows. In all, these failed predictions demonstrate that nova systems must have unknown physical mechanisms for both $ΔP$ and $\dot{P}$ that dominate over all other effects.

description: In this paper, we propose a semi-distributed cooperative spectrum sen sing (SDCSS) and channel access framework for multi-channel cognitive radio networks (CRNs). In particular, we c onsider a SDCSS scheme where secondary users (SUs) perform sensing and exchange sensing outcomes with ea ch other to locate spectrum holes. In addition, we devise the p -persistent CSMA-based cognitive MAC protocol integrating the SDCSS to enable efficient spectrum sharing among SUs. We then perform throughput analysis and develop an algorithm to determine the spectrum sensing and access parameters to maximize the throughput for a given allocation of channel sensing sets. Moreover, we consider the spectrum sensing set optimization problem for SUs to maxim ize the overall system throughput. We present both exhaustive search and low-complexity greedy algorithms to determine the sensing sets for SUs and analyze their complexity. We also show how our design and analysis can be extended to consider reporting errors. Finally, extensive numerical results are presented to demonstrate the sig nificant performance gain of our optimized design framework with respect to non-optimized designs as well as the imp acts of different protocol parameters on the throughput performance.

Towards a Phenomenology of Literary Language: Wyndham Lewis and the Expressions of Being
Creators: name: Bonafede, Francesca
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2022

description: The central aim of this study is to transcend the academic orthodoxies of literary scholarship to restore the reader to their rightful place as the subject of Wyndham Lewis’s writing. As a case study for a phenomenological approach to literary theory rooted in an exploration of the phenomenological potentialities of literary language, this thesis contemplates Lewis as an incarnated speaking subject committed to the coherent deformation of linguistic structures as a method to formulate a phenomenology of ourselves. Lewis’s literary practice, in fact, developed as a phenomenological method to neutralise humanity’s gatekeepers and gatekeeping mechanisms and express the human encounter with the world. The chapters each deal with one of five key works (BLAST (1914), The Wild Body (1927), The Apes of God (1930), Snooty Baronet (1932) and The Childermass (1928)), witnessing through close reading the development of Lewis’s style in his lifelong search for the most appropriate form with which to craft the gesture that could be most effective at addressing fundamental ontological questions. What is it like to be human? What is the relation between consciousness and reality?Where, when, and most importantly, how can we perceive the coming into being of human consciousness? Is Being accessible to us? Lewis shares these philosophical concerns with Maurice Merleau-Ponty as both thinkers contemplate human expression as the pragmatic solution to the ontological crisis brought forward by modernity. A great awareness of the dialectical analogies between the structures of language, perception and consciousness prompted both Lewis and Merleau-Ponty to explore the coherently deformed linguistic structures of literary language as the blueprint for comprehending the human experience of reality.

description: As a prototypical half-metallic ferromagnet, La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO) has been extensively studied due to its versatile physical properties and great potential in spintronic applications. However, the weak perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) limits the controllability and detection of magnetism in LSMO, thus hindering the realization of oxide-based spintronic devices with low energy consumption and high integration level. Motivated by this challenge, we develop an experimental approach to enhance the PMA of LSMO epitaxial films. By cooperatively introducing 4d Ru doping and a moderate compressive strain, the maximum uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in Ru-doped LSMO can reach 3.0 to 1E5 J/m3 at 10 K. Furthermore, we find a significant anisotropic magnetoresistance effect in these Ru-doped LSMO films, which is dominated by the strong PMA. Our findings offer an effective pathway to harness and detect the orientations of magnetic moments in LSMO films, thus promoting the feasibility of oxide-based spintronic devices, such as spin valves and magnetic tunnel junctions.

description: Les documents authentiques permettent à l’enseignant de langue étrangère de mettre ses apprenants en contact avec la langue et la culture cibles. Cependant, pour que leur usage soit efficace et qu’ils soient bien perçus comme authentiques par les apprenants, il convient de les exploiter convenablement en leur appliquant un traitement approprié. Dans notre mémoire, nous avons traité de l’usage des textes authentiques en classe de langues et cultures étrangères (LCE), et, plus précisément, en classe d’anglais langue étrangère (ESL). Ainsi, après avoir rappelé ce qu’est un document authentique et traité de l’importance de son usage dans l’enseignement des langues étrangères, nous avons rédigé une fiche pédagogique pour une séquence d’enseignement portant sur la compréhension écrite destinée à des apprenants francophones d’une école professionnelle (EPCA) du canton de Vaud. Le support choisi a été un article de journal. En lien avec plusieurs découvertes théoriques, nos activités ont aussi démontré et, par conséquent validé, l’importance et l’efficacité de travailler avec des documents authentiques en classe de langue. En effet, les résultats de notre séquence d’enseignement ont montré qu’un contact direct avec une langue non artificielle – non conçue pour l’enseignement et qui ne peut que véhiculer un discours véritable – est capable d’engager les apprenants dans l’activité proposée d’une manière plus motivante. Par conséquent, cet intérêt accru des élèves à travailler avec du matériel qui vient de documents authentiques les amènerait à un apprentissage plus stimulant de la langue et culture étrangère cible.

As an illustration, the official data of the Italian Ministry of Economics and Finance has been considered, for all Italian municipalities, over the period 2007-2011. Yearly data of the aggregated tax income is transformed into a few indicators: the Gini, Theil, and Herfindahl-Hirschman indices. On one hand, the relative interest of each index is discussed. On the other hand, numerical results confirm that Italy is divided into very different regional realities, a few which are specifically outlined. This shows the interest of transforming data in an adequate manner and of comparing such indices.

description: The population of radio pulsars is observed to demonstrate certain polarization properties not explained by the conventional picture of pulsar polarization, namely frequency evolution of polarization, deviations of the linear polarization angle from a curve of geometric origins and the presence of features in the circular polarization. We present the partial-coherence model as a way to explain the co-occurrence of these features and to provide an origin for circular polarization in radio pulsar profiles. We describe the mathematics of the model and demonstrate how it can explain these observed features, both on a population level and for the idiosyncrasies of individual pulsars. The partial coherence model can account for complex polarization behaviour, enabling improved access to information about pulsar geometries. We discuss the scientific implications of this for our understanding of pulsar radio emission and propagation.

description: Background and purpose — Facemasks play a role in preventing the respiratory spread of SARS-CoV-2, but their impact on the physician–patient relationship in the orthopedic outpatient clinic is unclear. We investigated whether the type of surgeons’ facemask impacts patients’ perception of the physician–patient relationship, influences their understanding of what the surgeon said, or affects their perceived empathy. Patients and methods — All patients with an appointment in the orthopedic outpatient clinic of a tertiary university hospital during the 2-week study period were included. During consultations, all surgeons wore a non-transparent (first study week) or transparent facemask (second study week). Results of 285 of 407 eligible patients were available for analysis. The doctor–patient relationship was evaluated using the standardized Patient Reactions Assessment (PRA) and a 10-point Likert-scale questionnaire ranging from 0 (strongly disagree) to 10 (strongly agree). Results — A non-transparent facemask led to more restrictions in the physician–patient communication and a worse understanding of what the surgeon said. Patients’ understanding improved with a transparent facemask with greatest improvements reported by patients aged 65 years and older (non-transparent: 6 [IQR 5–10] vs. transparent: 10 [IQR 9–10], p < 0.001) and by patients with a self-reported hearing impairment (non-transparent: 7 [IQR 3–7] vs. transparent: 9 [IQR 9–10], p < 0.001). The median PRA score was higher when surgeons wore a transparent facemask (p= 0.003). Interpretation — Surgeons’ non-transparent facemasks pose a new communication barrier that can negatively affect the physician–patient relationship. While emotional factors like affectivity and empathy seem to be less affected overall, the physician–patient communication and patients’ understanding of what the surgeon said seem to be negatively affected.

description: Ce travail de mémoire professionnel propose une réflexion sur la thématique de la sanction disciplinaire au secondaire I et, particulièrement, sur l’utilisation concrète de l’heure d’arrêt au regard des diverses voies d’orientations, du genre ou encore de l’année d’enseignement des élèves. En effet, tout-e enseignant-e est confronté-e à un moment ou à un autre au fait de devoir sanctionner ses élèves. Cependant, sanctionne-t-il plus facilement - de manière consciente ou inconsciente - les élèves en voie générale ou prégymnasiale par l’intermédiaire des heures d’arrêt ? C’est la question principale à laquelle j’ai tenté répondre durant ce travail. Pour ce faire, deux études ont été réalisées ; une approche plutôt subjective basée sur leressenti des enseignant-e-s par l’intermédiaire d’un questionnaire auto-administré, ainsi que la récolte de données statistiques fournies par quatre établissements sur l’utilisation concrète des heures d’arrêt. L’approche duale de ce travail a permis en outre de faire des corrélations et de comparer l’avis des enseignant-e-s avec ce qui était réellement le cas sur le terrain. Travailler sur ces deux aspects a d’ailleurs été très enrichissant pour moi. Mon expérience en tant qu’enseignante remplaçante m’a poussée vers cette problématique et, afin de mener à bien mes recherches, j’ai travaillé sur la sanction disciplinaire de manière générale : son cadre légal, son histoire ou encore ses différentes approches par le biais de la revue de littérature. Tous ces aspects m’ont finalement permis de répondre à ma questions de recherche, devalider ou réfuter mes hypothèses de départ, d'aborder la catégorisation des élèves, d'émettre de nouvelles hypothèses ou encore d'ouvrir un champ de potentiels futurs axes de travail.

description: [abridged] We present optical integral field spectroscopy for a flux-limited sample of 19 QSOs at z<0.2 and spatially resolve their ionized gas properties at a physical resolution of 2-5kpc. The extended narrow line regions (ENLRs), photoionized by the radiation of AGN, have sizes of up to several kpc and correlate more strongly with the QSO continuum luminosity than with the integrated [OIII] luminosity. We find a relation of the form log(r)~(0.46+-0.04)log(L_5100), reinforcing the picture of an approximately constant ionization parameter for the ionized clouds across the ENLR. Besides the ENLR, we also find gas ionized by young massive stars in more than 50 per cent of the galaxies on kpc scales. In more than half of the sample, the specific star formation rates based on the extinction-corrected Ha luminosity are consistent with those of inactive disc-dominated galaxies, even for some bulge-dominated QSO hosts. Enhanced SFRs of up to 70Msun/yr are rare and always associated with signatures of major mergers. Comparison with the SFR based on the 60+100micron FIR luminosity suggests that the FIR luminosity is systematically contaminated by AGN emission and Ha appears to be a more robust and sensitive tracer for the star formation rate. Evidence for efficient AGN feedback is scarce in our sample, but some of our QSO hosts lack signatures of ongoing star formation leading to a reduced specific SFR with respect to the main sequence of galaxies. Based on 12 QSOs where we can make measurements, we find that on average bulge-dominated QSO host galaxies tend to fall below the mass-metallicity relation compared to their disc-dominated counterparts. While not yet statistically significant for our small sample, this may provide a useful diagnostic for future large surveys if this metal dilution can be shown to be linked to recent or ongoing galaxy interactions.

description: Many habited islands in Indonesia are not supplied by electricity. The main cause is geographically challenging contour of the islands which leads to higher cost for grid infrastructure development. Due to this cause, renewable energy such as wind, wave, and solar energy can be implemented to electrify the island. This paper presents a prototype of cheap and reliable wave power electricity generator, TEROMBALIS. TEROMBALIS is designed similar to a flexible ocean dock which can be easily set-up and mass produced, hence leads to low cost grid infrastructure construction. Based on the design, TEROMBALIS prototype is built and the simulation is carried out. The results show that TEROMBALIS can be used to generate electricity, especially for minor islands in Indonesia where electricity is a scarce commodity.

Parental Rights in Education
Parents as Intermediary.

description: The purpose of this article is to frame the child’s right to religious freedom in a multi-level perspective (ECHR and Convention on the Rights of the Child). The first part of the article is concerned with establishing the scope of the child’s right. Doctrine and jurisprudence have developed a model in which the attention is focused on the rights of parents to the religious education of their children and a model that values the autonomy of the child in religious matters. The second part analyzes the recent ruling of the European Court of Human Rights (case T.C. v. Italy, application n. 54032/18), which, starting from the autonomy of the child, is able to promote a model that emphasizes a new role for parents, who act as intermediaries for children’s rights.

description: A spin-orbit coupled quantum wire, with one end proximate to an s-wave superconductor, can become a topological superconductor, with a Majorana mode localized at each end of the superconducting region. It was recently shown that coupling one end of such a topological superconductor to $two$ normal channels of interacting electrons leads to a novel type of frustration and a quantum critical point when both channels couple with equal strength. We propose an experimental method to access this critical point in a $single$ quantum wire and show its resilience to disorder.

Tout d’abord, l’influence de la différence du statut socio-économique sur l’inégalité d’accès à l‘éducation et l’inégalité de réussite des élèves scolarisés dans les pays industrialisés et dans les pays en développement, plus particulièrement Afrique subsaharienne, est traitée brièvement. Ensuite, les cas de la Suisse et du Nigéria sont abordés. Le système éducatif pratiqué dans la plupart des cantons suisse répartit des élèves, selon le critère social et académique, dans différentes filières et groupe de niveaux. Tandis qu’au Nigéria, le système éducatif pratiqué oriente les élèves dans les différents établissements selon leurs milieux sociaux. Nous constatons ainsi qu’en Suisse le statut socio-économique n’influence pas l’inégalité d’accès à l’éducation de base, mais peut influencer l’inégalité de réussite à cause de la structure filiarisée de son système éducatif. Au Nigéria, la situation se révèle plus complexe : le statut socio-économique influence l’inégalité d’accès à l’éducation de base et l’inégalité de réussite à cause de la structure différenciée de son système éducatif.

description: We describe a many-channel experiment control system based on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The system has 16 bit resolution on 10 analog 100 MS/s input channels, 14 analog 100 MS/s output channels, 16 slow analog input and output channels, dozens of digital inputs and outputs, and a touchscreen display for experiment control and monitoring. The system can support 10 servo loops with 155 ns latency and MHz bandwidths, in addition to as many as 30 lower bandwidth servos. We demonstrate infinite-impulse-response (IIR) proportional-integral-differential (PID) filters with 30 ns latency by using only bit-shifts and additions. These IIR filters allow timing margin at 100 MS/s and use fewer FPGA resources than straightforward multiplier-based filters, facilitating many servos on a single FPGA. We present several specific applications: Hänsch-Couillaud laser locks with automatic lock acquisition and a slow dither correction of lock offsets, variable duty cycle temperature servos, and the generation of multiple synchronized arbitrary waveforms.

description: Le feedback vidéo en éducation physique à l’aide de tablettes numériques à-t-il un impact sur la motivation des élèves ? Notre étude porte sur l’impact des feedback vidéo grâce à l’utilisation d’une tablette numérique sur la motivation des élèves. Notre échantillon est composé de classes vaudoises de diverses années scolaires et de plusieurs niveaux. Nous avons plongés les élèves dans différentes situations lors d’un cours d’éducation physique et nous avons observé l’impact que peut avoir l’utilisation d’une tablette numérique via une application de décalage de l’image dans le temps sur la motivation des élèves. Nous sommes d’avis que l’utilisation de tablette a un impact sur la motivation des élèves, mais également que le fait de se voir pratiquer une activité donne plus de sens à la tâche et que la motivation en sera donc augmentée. Les élèves peuvent ainsi donner plus de la valeur à l’apprentissage. Enfin, nous supposons que ce n’est pas la présence exceptionnelle de tablettes numériques qui affecte la motivation des élèves mais bien l’intérêt du travail effectué grâce à l’application de décalage de l’image. Malgré des résultats ne donnant pas de réponses significatives à nos questionnements, notre recherche nous permet toutefois de continuer à envisager l’utilisation de la tablette numérique dans une situation d’apprentissage comme outil pédagogique favorisant la motivation.

description: Ce travail cherche à mesurer l’impact de la création de contenus médiatiques voués à une diffusion hors du cadre scolaire sur la capacité des élèves à décrypter des messages médiatiques. Si les capacités évaluées sont des compétences visées du Plan d’Étude Romand (PER, Formation Générale – Mitic – FG31), les moyens d’y parvenir ne sont pas spécifiés. Étant donné qu’il n’existe pas de discipline « éducation aux médias » dans la canton de Vaud, comme c’est aussi le cas dans d’autres systèmes éducatifs (Pichette, 2006), il revient à chaque enseignant de favoriser le développement de telles compétences. L’un des moyens d’y parvenir et qui semble adéquat est d’amener les élèves à créer des contenus médiatiques. Afin de mesurer les compétences en décryptage des médias (Lebrun & Lacelle, 2012), un questionnaire a été spécialement conçu. Ce dernier a aussi été élaboré afin de récolter des données sur la méthode de documentation et de rédaction des élèves (Lecomte, 2011), sur leur motivation (Viau, 2004) et sur l’environnement médiatique dans lequel ils évoluent (Piette, 2005). Le questionnaire a été soumis à deux échantillons de populations. L’un participant à une OCOM dans laquelle les élèves font de la radio et l’autre composé d’élèves qui ont réalisé des exposés en classe afin de pouvoir effectuer une comparaison pour l’ensemble des données récoltées en fonction de la population. Bien que n’étant pas significatifs à cause de différents biais méthodologiques, les résultats obtenus ont permis de mesurer des variations entre les deux populations. La motivation, la méthode de documentation et de rédaction et les compétences en décryptage des médias sont globalement supérieures chez les élèves qui font de la radio. L’analyse de l’environnement médiatique, qui est plus favorable dans la population qui fait de la radio, a aussi permis d’établir des corrélations entre ce paramètre et les compétences en décryptage de médias. En effet, plus les élèves se tiennent informés, par le biais de différents médias, plus ils apparaissent compétents. En revanche, ce travail ne permet pas de déterminer si c’est la conduite d’activités de création de contenus médiatiques ou l’environnement médiatique qui impacte les compétences des élèves et/ou s’il existe une influence réciproque entre ces paramètres.

description: We consider the quantum spectral problem appearing the Fermi gas formulation of the ABJM (Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena) matrix model. This is known to related to the refined topological string on local P^1*P^1 Calabi-Yau geometry. In the ABJM setting the problem is formulated by an integral equation, and is somewhat different from the one formulated directly in terms of the Calabi-Yau geometry and studied in our earlier paper. We use the similar method in our earlier paper to determine the non-perturbative contributions to the quantum phase volume in the ABJM case from the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization condition. As in our earlier paper, the non-perturbative contributions contain higher order smooth corrections beyond those required by singularity cancellations with the perturbative contributions proposed by Kallen and Marino. Our results imply possible new contributions to the grand potential of the ABJM matrix model.

Purpose: 24 hour movement behaviours represented by sleep, sedentary behaviour (SB), light physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) may influence child mental health, which is under-researched relative to indicators of physical health. The study aims were (1) to examine the relationships between 24-hour movement behaviours and indicators of mental health in English primary school children, and (2) to investigate the predicted differences in mental health outcomes when time was reallocated between the movement behaviours.
Methods: Wrist-mounted accelerometers were worn continuously for 7-days by 132 children (66 boys) aged 9-10 years. Following processing, estimates of time spent sleeping, and in SB, LPA, and MVPA were calculated. Questionnaires were used to assess social and emotional wellbeing (SEW), prosocial behaviour (PSB), depression symptoms (DEP), and self-esteem (SE). To account for the mutually exclusive and co-linear nature of the movement behaviours compositional data analysis was used to express the movement behaviours in relative terms as isometric log-ratio coordinates. For aim 1, regression models adjusted for sex, age, parental education level, and BMI examined the influence of each movement behaviour on the outcomes, relative to the other behaviours. For aim 2 differences in mental health outcomes between the baseline composition and new compositions when 15 minutes was added to each movement behaviour in turn was calculated.

Results: Movement behaviours did not significantly predict SEW, DEP, and SE. PSB was significantly predicted by sleep (ß= 3.26 (1.36), p=.018) and SB (ß=-3.05 (1.12), p=0.007). The greatest predicted changes in mental health outcomes were observed when MVPA increased by 15-minutes with a proportional 15-minute decrease in the remaining behaviours. Specifically, there were favourable predicted changes in SEW (-0.25), DEP (-0.68), and SE (+0.51). Moreover, adding 15-minutes to SB reflected a predicted 0.12 decrease in PSB, while allocating this time to sleep resulted in a 0.12 predicted increase.

Conclusions: The relationships between 24-hour movement behaviours and mental health of the children in this study were equivocal. The exception was prosocial behaviour which was significantly related to sleep and SB. Time reallocations suggested that increasing MVPA may have a favourable influence on some mental health outcomes.

description: We study the dynamical mechanisms that reinforce the formation of boxy structures in the \textit{inner} regions, roughly in the middle, of bars observed nearly \textit{face-on}. Outer boxiness, at the ends of the bars, is usually associated with orbits at the inner, radial 4:1 resonance region and can be studied with 2D dynamics. However, in the middle of the bar dominate 3D orbits that give boxy/peanut bulges in the edge-on views of the models. In the present paper we show that 3D quasi-periodic, as well as 3D chaotic orbits sticky to the x1v1 and x1v1$^{\prime}$ tori, especially from the Inner Lindblad Resonance (ILR) region, have boxy projections on the equatorial plane of the bar. The majority of vertically perturbed 2D orbits, initially on the equatorial plane in the ILR resonance region, enhance boxy features in face-on bars. Orbits that build a bar by supporting sharp "{\sf X}" features in their side-on views at energies \textit{beyond} the ILR, may also have a double boxy character. If populated, the extent of the inner boxiness along the major axis is about the same with that of the peanut supporting orbits in the side-on views. At any rate these orbits do not obscure the observation of the boxy orbits of the ILR region in the face-on views, as they contribute more to the surface density at the sides of the bar than to their central parts.

description: Quasi-multilayer films with perovskite nano-particles have already been investigated and reported in YBCO compounds. Here, we introduce this technique to iron based superconductors by preparing quasi-multilayer nanocomposite films of Co-doped BaFe2As2 with BaZrO3 and BaHfO3 perovskite nanoparticles by a pulsed laser deposition technique using a frequency-tripled Nd:YAG laser (λ = 355 nm) with separate targets of the constituents. We investigated the enhancement of pinning force density and critical current density in relation to critical temperature reduction. Application-relevant properties are discussed in relation to the deposition conditions and the microstructural properties of the films to better understand growth and behavior of strong pinning centers in these materials.

description: Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) members are efficient structural members which are currently increasingly used in the construction industry. Under multi-hazard loading conditions, columns are often subjected to structural damage followed by thermal loading due to fire. This article studies the effect of mechanical damage on the thermal response of CFT columns through a detailed experimental program. Circular and square stub CFST columns were subjected to structural damage by applying axial compression and eccentric compression loading. The columns were loaded to three different levels of damage: (a) no mechanical loading, (b) loading to a maximum deformation of 10 mm at the ends, and (c) loading to a maximum deformation of 19 mm at the ends, respectively. The concentric compression (CC) and eccentric compression (EC) loading were done in a displacement-controlled manner. The corresponding deformation field in the steel tube was recorded digitally using the digital image correlation (DIC) technique. Subsequently, the specimen was unloaded and heated by placing them in a furnace. The temperature in the furnace cavity followed the ISO-834 standard fire curve for 1-hour followed by 2-hour cooling. The insulation effect of the gap created between the steel tube and concrete core, as well as increased resistance to the heat flow due to the development of cracks in concrete, is critical for predicting the temperatures inside the concrete core.
