Leadership in a Lutheran school: An exploration of principal and school pastor worldviews and their potential impact on the transformation of the school learning community
Creators: name: Bartel, Ken
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2014

description: This ethnomethodological study focuses on the worldviews of Lutheran school principals and pastors. Essentially, these leaders in a Lutheran school provide direction and vision for the school learning community. The degree to which their worldviews coalesce will naturally result in positive or negative influences on the whole school community. These leaders within the Lutheran school can be seen as a hub for all kinds of learning experiences and interaction in the context of vital Christian communities in mission outreach and quality education. Any dissonance of worldview has potential for impact on school processes and relationships. The Lutheran Church has defined the role of the pastor in the school and the difference from his role in a congregation (Lutheran Church of Australia, 2002). Lutheran principals have a delegated authority from their school councils to be responsible for the complete oversight of the school's direction, the observance of policies, and the assignment of tasks and duties of staff. The blurring of responsibility occurs over the pastor's rightful responsibility in regards to a word and sacrament ministry. In a Lutheran school where the Gospel is to inform all learning, such tension can cloud school dynamics and transformation. The Lutheran church policy, Relative responsibilities of pastor and principal within the Lutheran school, identifies three critical areas of required mutual respect for the Principal and School Pastor: theological, professional and personal (Lutheran Church of Australia, 2001, p. 3). Thus, the 'worldview' dimensions considered in this research centre around the theological, the educational and the interpersonal domains.;The school transformation themes of lifelong learning, postmodernism and curriculum, school organization and change, and school community relationships are used to challenge worldview dimensions of Principals and School Pastors through a series of online 'stories', or scenarios, backed by personal interviews and a document study. The identification of school leadership tension points brings about recommendations for action.
What Are the Hydroecological Drivers of Water Security in an Agricultural and Snowmelt-Dominated Region?

description: Water is a cornerstone of human productivity. A water-secure region has access to water in sufficient quantities, of adequate quality, and at the right time to meet the needs of humans and ecosystems. Over the 21st century, the combination of warming-induced shifts in hydrological regimes and greater water demands for food and energy due to rapid economic growth is likely to create water security challenges across the globe. The goal of this dissertation is to investigate how and to what extent the processes of land-use change, climate warming, and crop transpiration drive changes in water supply and demand in regions where the hydrology is strongly influenced by snow accumulation and melt. The research is focused on a commonly neglected element of water security in snow-dominated basins, that is, the seasonal alignment of meltwater flow and irrigation demand. The implications of shifts in water supply and demand timing for agricultural production, energy production, and instream flows for fish are evaluated and discussed. The geographical setting of this work is the Pacific Northwest Region, particularly the Columbia River Basin.
description: Analysis of the role played by water rights in moderating the impact of land-use/cover change on food, energy, and water subsystems showed that expanding irrigated area can enhance the productivity of food and energy crops, but it may do so at the cost of greater instream flow deficits and less hydropower production in summer. Analysis of shifts in irrigation demand timing for a variety of annual and perennial crops resulted in greater shifts in demand toward earlier timing among annuals compared to perennials. A partial-correlation analysis revealed that crop phenology, followed by sowing date, followed by growing season precipitation, are the primary contributing factors to shifts in water demand timing. Shifts in streamflow timing were found to be strongly associated with the fraction of runoff derived from snowmelt and the mean winter temperature. Watersheds most vulnerable to increasing separation between supply and demand timing are those with a large contribution from snowmelt, winter temperatures near 0°C, and a high proportion of cropland planted to annuals. Earlier water demand timing showed potential to mitigate increasing water right curtailment frequency due to earlier streamflow timing by a small amount. Finally, priority-based water right curtailment was shown to augment streamflow by an amount equal to or larger than curtailment in favor of instream flows.
A Saquaremense In Newspaper Clippings: Oliveira Vianna Writer (Abstract)

description: This study critically examined one hundred and ten articles authored by Francisco José de Oliveira Vianna (1883-1951), published in newspapers to reconstruct his thinking as a columnist. These texts are part of the collection of Casa Oliveira Vianna, Niterói / RJ, catalogued as "newspaper clippings". These articles were printed in daily newspapers, magazines and booklets. We were motivated to do the research based on the following questions: (i) Which Oliveira Vianna persona will we find in those newspaper articles? (ii) Would there be a correlation between the themes presented in his books and his articles? (iii) What would be the recurrent themes in these articles? (iv) When did the themes appear? (v) When were they more frequent? These questions appear to be less explored in the literature of the Social Sciences. It is in this gap that we insert the present work.

description: Black men and veterans can encounter multiple challenges that impede their academic progress. Black undergraduate men, particularly at predominantly White institutions (PWI), continue to fight negative stereotypes at a higher rate than other populations. Student veterans can also feel unwelcomed, alienated, and isolated from the rest of the student body. Currently there is a lack of literature that looks at the intersectional challenges of being both Black and being a veteran in higher education. Grounded in both Critical Race Theory and Veteran Critical Theory, this qualitative study collected the counternarratives of six Black male community college student veterans to better understand their lived experiences. It is hoped that this research will help community colleges better understand how they can support their Black male veteran population. If institutions can better understand what the possible challenges and roadblocks these students are facing, colleges can potentially be more successful with retaining this population and help with the overall success of Black male veterans in their higher education.

description: Nuclear storage facilities are sites of intense radiation, and surveillance of nuclear storage containers in these facilities is largely performed through manual inspection, which leaves humans performing the inspection vulnerable to the radiation. Robotic surveillance solutions in nuclear storage facilities for detecting damaged nuclear storage containers offer a viable alternative to reduce human exposure to nuclear radiation.
description: This work details the efforts made toward building such a solution through the development of a mobile robotic system (to autonomously scan container surfaces), a machine learning algorithm (to segment areas of damage on the scans), and a communication framework based on ROS2 (to integrate the two components together).
description: The capabilities of the system were tested in a laboratory environment using an array of surgical steel containers with varying degrees of damage on them. The containers were chosen and processed to best mimic the visual characteristics of nuclear storage containers. The system was successfully able to perform four tasks autonomously: 1) obtain scans of the container surfaces, 2) perform damage estimation on the scans using machine learning (ML), 3) transmit the scans
description: with the estimations for human operator verification and 4) retrain the ML algorithm on new data. The work establishes an end-to-end automated surveillance solution that allows the integration of multiple robotic agents, machine learning classification and human operator verification. It also provides an important resource for researchers developing algorithms for mapping and localization of mobile robots, eye-in-hand visual servo of robotic arms, and communication frameworks for integrating machine learning capabilities in robotic agents.
Sexual Minorities’ Cannabis Use Patterns, Motives for Use, and Associations with Mental Health

description: Sexual minorities (e.g., gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals) are at increased risk for using cannabis compared to heterosexuals. While previous research has identified that sexual minorities use cannabis more frequently compared to heterosexuals, little research has examined specific patterns of cannabis use (e.g., quantity, age of onset) in this population. Further, while some research has identified motivation factors for cannabis use among sexual minorities, much of this research has been qualitative in nature and/or narrow in scope (e.g., focused on sexual motivations). Additionally, little research has examined associations between cannabis use and mental health outcomes in this population. To fill these gaps in the literature, data analyses were performed on archival survey data collected from 10 undergraduate psychology pools across the United States (N = 4,669) as a part of Project ART (Addictions Research Team). Three quarters of the sample (n = 3,483) were categorized in the heterosexual group, about one quarter were categorized in the bisexual group (n = 1,081), and a small percentage were categorized in the homosexual group (n = 105). The bisexual group reported using cannabis more frequently than the group of heterosexuals. Bisexuals also reported higher levels of coping and expansion motives for using cannabis compared to heterosexuals. Additionally, bisexuals reported more severe mental health symptoms (e.g., depression, suicidality, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and cannabis use disorder symptoms) compared to heterosexuals. Thus, bisexuals use cannabis more frequently compared to heterosexuals, and they report increased use of cannabis specifically to cope with their negative affect. Correlates of expansion motives are sparse in the literature and are not apparently related to negative outcomes. However, more frequent use of cannabis, especially to cope, appears to be placing bisexuals at greater risk of cannabis use disorder and social anxiety. Contrary to hypotheses, heterosexuals were found to exhibit a stronger relationship between daily cannabis sessions and social anxiety. Findings from this study can be used to guide future research and help target mental health interventions among sexual minorities.

description: Cyber threats to businesses and organizations have increased since the global pandemic. However, during these circumstances, there is a shortage of experts to defend against these cyber-attacks. Thus, cybersecurity education is becoming important, and there is a need to equip students to be highly skilled cybersecurity experts. Research has demonstrated that experiential learning is a more effective pedagogical approach than traditional lecture-based instruction in teaching educational concepts to students. The present review investigates and synthesizes empirical evidence of hands-on instructional tools using Interactive, Constructive, Active and Passive learning processes. The review synthesized instructional practices such as comics, games, lab activities, simulations, and live competitions from 41 individual studies used to teach K-12 and college students. The study found that engaging in hands-on activities such as games to teach cybersecurity concepts improves learning performance and motivation. This study highlights areas for further research and outlines the advantages for school administrators, educators, and other stakeholders involved in designing and implementing cybersecurity curricula. In addition, the practical implications and limitations of the study are discussed below.
Pedagogy - The missing link in religious education: Implications of brain-based learning theory on the development of a pedagogical framework for religious education
Creators: name: White, Daniel
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2004

description: "Over the past three decades, the development of religious education in Australia has been largely shaped by catechetical and curriculum approaches to teaching and learning. To date, little emphasis has been placed on the pedagogical dimension of religious education. The purpose of this research project is to explore the manner in which 'brain-based' learning theory contributes to pedagogical development in primary religious education. The project utilises an action research methodology combining concept mapping, the application of 'brain-based' teaching strategies and focus group dialogue with diocesan Religious Education Coordinators (RECs). The insights derived contribute to the formulation and validation of an appropriate pedagogical model for primary religious education, entitled the 'DEEP Framework'. The model reflects an integration of insights from brain-based theory with nuances from the contemporary Australian religious education literature. The project identifies four key, interactive principles that are crucial to pedagogical development in religious education, namely: Discernment, Enrichment, Engagement and Participation. It also recognises a fifth principle, 'an orientation towards wholeness', as significant in combining the various pedagogical principles into a coherent whole. The DEEP framework enables teachers to more successfully select and evaluate appropriate, interconnecting teaching strategies within the religious education classroom. The framework underpins the pedagogical rationale of the recently developed Archdiocese of Hobart religious education program and forms the basis for the implementation of a coherent professional development program across the Archdiocese."

In conclusion it looks at the possible future developaent, or otherwise, of the programme. As it is not a very technical report, I hope that it may be readily understood. by those not familiar with the subject, and yet provide inforaative and interesting reading for those aore expert.
Sisters of St Joseph: The Tasmanian experience: The foundation of the Sisters of St Joseph in Tasmania 1887-1937
Creators: name: Brady, Josephine
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2004

description: This thesis reports on and analyses the first fifty years, 1887-1937, of the Sisters of Saint Joseph's ministry in Tasmania. The design of the study is qualitative in nature, employing ethnographic techniques with a thematic approach to the narrative. Through a multifaceted approach the main figures of the Josephite story of the first fifty years are examined. The thesis attempts to redress the imbalance of the representation of women in Australian history and the Catholic Church in particular. The thesis is that as a uniquely Australian congregation the Tasmanian Sisters of St Joseph were focused on the preservation of the original spirit and tradition articulated at their foundation rather than on the development of a unique Tasmanian identity. The thesis argues that it was the formative period that impacted on their future development and the emerging myths contributed to their search for identity. Isolated from their foundations through separation and misunderstanding, they sought security and authenticity through their conservation of the original Rule. The intervention of cofounder Father Tenison Woods in the early months of their foundation served to consolidate a distinctive loyalty to him to the exclusion of Mary MacKillop. Coupled with the influence of Woods were the Irish and intercolonial influences of significant Sisters from other foundations which militated against the emergence of a distinctive Tasmanian leadership. As a Diocesan Congregation the Tasmanian Josephites achieved status as authentic religious within Tasmania and yet were constrained by their Diocesan character. The study identifies the factors that contributed to their development as a teaching Congregation through the impact of the Teacher and Schools' Registration Act 1906, influence of government regulations on the Woods-MacKillop style of education, and the commitment of the Church to provide Catholic education in the remote areas of Tasmania.;The thesis identifies two major formative periods as occurring at the instigation of Archbishops Delany and Simonds at both the foundation and then more significantly after the consolidation phase at the end of the period under examination.

description: Stroke survivors usually present sedentary lifestyles and fail to comply with the World Health Organization physical activity recommendations. Reliable, low-cost, and fast tools are needed to monitor physical activity levels in this population. This study aimed to evaluate the content and face validity, construct validity, and test-retest stability of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short-Form (IPAQ-SF) in stroke survivors. One hundred and twenty stroke survivors able to walk independently and preserved comprehension and communication abilities (61 ± 12 years, 35% female) were involved in this psychometric study. Participants completed the interview form of the IPAQ-SF via standardized videoconference twice, one week apart, under identical conditions, to evaluate test-retest stability. Correlations between IPAQ-SF and the caloric expenditure during the minutes of activity registered with the Fitbit Inspire 2 activity tracker wristband and 6-Metre Timed Walk (6MTW) were explored to assess construct validity. The IPAQ-SF showed good content and face validity. “Moderate” to ”strong” correlations were found with the Fitbit Inspire 2 (rho: 0.40 to 0.63), while “weak” to “moderate” correlations were found with the 6MTW (rho: 0.35 to 0.50). Test-retest stability was “moderate” to “excellent” (κ: 0.844 to 0.881; ICC: 0.533 to 0.917). The IPAQ-SF demonstrated satisfactory content and construct validity, and stability in stroke survivors, supporting its clinical and research utility when the data collection is conducted by trained evaluators using a standardized interview protocol in large samples.

Assessing the characteristics of effective professional learning and training programs: Perceptions of teachers, principals and training personnel within Catholic Education in Melbourne
Creators: name: O'Brien, Robert
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2004

description: The main aim of this thesis centred on what made effective professional development programs. As a particular case study data was collected on those programs sponsored by the Melbourne Catholic Education Office. Teachers from three schools in the North Western Metropolitan Zone of Melbourne, Australia, the principals from the three participating schools and training staff from the Catholic Education Office in Melbourne became the subjects of the study. The data collected from questionnaires was analysed in order to ascertain whether there were any common trends as to what the teachers thought was needed in effective professional development programs. The interviews with the participating principals and training staff were taped and later analysed in order to determine what they believed was the purpose of professional development and whether the programs currently being offered were effective. In addition, a list of characteristics of effective professional development was developed from the relevant research literature. The analysis of the above data was used to develop a model of effective professional development. The design of this model is cyclical. A main characteristic of the model promotes the reflection by both the participants and the training providers on what has occurred during the program and this process of reflection contributes in later development of programs in similar areas. It was also concluded that the needs and expectations from professional development of teachers and principals were different to what has been expected in past research projects. Both the teachers and principals expected that they would not be solely immersed in theory or in activities that may be used in the classroom. Instead they hoped to gain a knowledge of activities that are based on theory and develop an understanding of how these activities may be used and how they will assist in student learning.;Hence, the link between the theory and its application was believed by teachers and principals to be of primary importance in professional development in order to maintain high teaching practices and in turn result in improved student learning.

Da es selbst bei Datensätzen, die mit DOI veröffentlicht wurden, viele Beispiele für ungenügend dokumentierte Daten gibt, wurde im Projekt AtMoDat (www.atmodat.de) beschlossen, als Ergänzung zum DataCite DOI eine zusätzliche Zertifizierung für Daten mit hoher Qualität zu entwickeln. Diese Zertifizierung wurde EASYDAb (Earth System Data Branding) genannt. Sie besteht aus einem Label, das auf der Landing Page von denjenigen Datensätzen angezeigt werden darf, die vom veröffentlichenden Repositorium kuratiert wurden und deren Metadaten eine hohe Qualität aufweisen. Mit dem EASYDAB-Label können die Repositorien angeben, dass sie Datensätze unter Berücksichtigung der FAIRness-Prinzipien sorgfältig kuratieren und wiederverwendbar machen. Forschende können gut beschriebene Datensätze leichter finden und bewerten und für sie relevante Daten wiederverwenden. Die mit EASYDAB gekennzeichneten Datensätze müssen vom Repositorium vor der Publikation anhand einer Qualitätsrichtlinie kontrolliert werden. Diese Richtlinie kann vom Repositorium ausgewählt werden, muss aber von der TIB als für EASYDAB geeignet anerkannt werden. In diesem Bericht wird beschrieben, wie die Zertifizierung entwickelt wird und welche Regeln für die EASYDAB Zertifizierung gelten. More and more curators and scientists complain that well-curated and FAIR research data are difficult to identify in the mass of published data. Since there are many examples of insufficiently documented data even in datasets published with DOI, it was decided in the AtMoDat project (www.atmodat.de) to develop an additional certification for high-quality data as a supplement to the DataCite DOI. This certification was called EASYDAb (Earth System Data Branding). It consists of a label that may be displayed on the landing page of those datasets that have been curated by the publishing repository and whose metadata are of high quality. The EASYDAB label allows repositories to indicate that they carefully curate datasets with FAIRness principles in mind and make them reusable. Researchers can more easily find and evaluate well-described datasets and reuse data that is relevant to them. EASYDAB-labelled datasets must be checked by the repository against a quality policy before publication. This guideline can be selected by the repository but must be approved by TIB as suitable for EASYDAB. This report describes how the certification is developed and which rules apply for EASYDAB certification.

description: Italian ryegrass is a troublesome annual grass weed species in areas that receive more than 400 mm of annual precipitation in the dryland wheat production regions of the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Indaziflam has extended residual activity and a novel mechanism of action not available for use in dryland wheat cropping systems. A field study was conducted at two locations (Almota and Pullman) in Eastern Washington from 2020 through 2022 to evaluate crop injury, yield, and Italian ryegrass seedbank response to common wheat rotations with and without indaziflam. Indaziflam was applied postemergence in spring wheat in 2020 at 0, 22, and 44 g ai ha-1. Spring wheat yield was not impacted by indaziflam. In 2021, barley, canola, chickpea, winter wheat, and fallow treatments were established within the 2020 plots. Crop yields were highly variable in Almota, and very low in Pullman due to drought. Barley, canola and winter wheat yields were reduced in plots that were treated with indaziflam in 2020, whereas chickpea yields were unaffected. In 2022, indaziflam treatment was associated with an increase in both winter (Almota) and spring (Pullman) wheat yield. At both locations in 2021, Italian ryegrass plant density, averaged across all crop rotation treatments, decreased with increasing indaziflam rates, with canola and fallow treatments averaging < 2 plants m-2. In 2022, the final year of the study, Italian ryegrass density decreased with increasing rates of indaziflam, although seedbank density was affected by indaziflam rate. In general, indaziflam treatments applied in 2020 that were planted to chickpea in 2021, had the least crop injury and the greatest reduction of Italian ryegrass seedbank density in winter and spring wheat in 2022. Indaziflam appears to be a potentially useful component of an integrated Italian ryegrass management system in dryland wheat production, particularly when rotations include chickpea.

Angle Discrimination By Walking In Children
Creators: name: Cuturi, Luigi F.

Year: 2017

description: In primary school, children tend to have difficulties in discriminating angles of different degrees and categorizing them either as acute or obtuse, especially at the first stages of development (6-7 y.o.). In the context of a novel approach that intends to use other sensory modalities than visual to teach geometrical concepts, we ran a psychophysical study investigating angle perception by spatially navigating in space. Our results show that the youngest group of children tend to be more imprecise when asked to discriminate the walking angle of 90°, pivotal to learn how to differentiate between acute and obtuse angles. These results are then discussed in terms of the development of novel technological solutions aimed to integrate locomotion in the teaching of geometrical concepts.

Implementierung einer automatischen DDC-Klassifikation für die Suchmaschine BASE auf Basis von Annif
Creators: name: Broschinski, Christoph
Publisher: name: Kolloquium Wissensinfrastruktur
Year: 2024

description: Dieser Vortrag präsentiert die Ergebnisse einer Masterarbeit, die im Rahmen des Studiengangs MALIS an der TH Köln verfasst wurde.


In der Suchmaschine BASE werden bereits seit Jahren Dokumente maschinell nach der Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) erschlossen, es besteht jedoch der Wunsch, das mittlerweile veraltete System zur automatischen Klassifikation zu ersetzen. Zu diesem Zweck war es erforderlich, Daten aus BASE zu gewinnen, die als Trainingsmenge eines maschinellen Lernverfahrens dienen können. Es wird gezeigt, wie mithilfe einer explorativen Analyse aus einem Korpus von über 220 Mio. Dokumenten geeignete Daten extrahiert, kuratiert und zu sprachspezifischen Lernkorpora umgearbeitet wurden. Auf dieser Grundlage wurden mithilfe des Toolkits Annif eine Reihe von Klassifikatoren erstellt, deren Leistungsfähigkeit anschließend evaluiert und ein geeigneter Kandidat ausgewählt. Ein Vergleich zeigt, dass das in dieser Ausarbeitung erstellte System dem zur Zeit im Einsatz befindlichen BASE-Klassifikator weit überlegen ist.

Fig. 3 a-c
Synonymy: Saurornithoides sp. Estes, 1964 (in part).
Diagnosis: As for genus.
Material: Holotype tooth, UCM 38445 (UCMP-V5711) H 6.2 mm, W 3.7 mm. Paratype teeth: UCM 38446 (UCMP-V 5711) H 1.8 mm, W 2 mm; UCMP 73098 (UCMP-V 5815) H 2.8 mm, W 1.8 mm; and UCMP 125239 (UCMP-V 5815) H 3.2 mm. W 2.5 mm. Referred teeth (all adults and all from UCMP-V5620): UCMP 125240 - 125247.
Distribution: Apparently restricted to Lance Formation of eastern Wyoming. Holotype from UCMP-V 5711, Bushy Tailed Blowout, Sl/z, sec. 20, T 37 N., R. 64 W., Niobrara County.
Etymology: Specific name in honor of Dr. Robert T Bakker, who has contributed considerably to the study of dinosaurs.
Discussion: The large holotype tooth (Fig. 3 a) is not from a juvenile. The paratypes (figs. 3 b, c), however, are small and probably are from babies. Estes (1964) referred teeth with large posterior denticulations to Saurornithoides sp., but later noted that this identification was incorrect (personal communication). Reexamination of Estes’ material revealed the presence of three different kinds of small theropod teeth. One group has large posterior serrations and are clearly referable to Pectinodon bakkeri (e. g., Estes, 1964, Fig. 69 a). Another group of teeth has smaller posterior serrations which are directed obliquely upward. The tip of the crown is oblique to the vertical axis of the tooth, but does not project posteriorly as in Pectinodon; the crown has a piercing tip. The first serration is significantly smaller than the crown tip. There may be poorly developed serrations on the anterior edge or a sharp translucent keel. These teeth are similar to those in the dentary of Saurornithoides ínequalis (ROM 1445) previously referred to Troodon formosus by Russell (1948), and to Saurornithoides junior by Barsbold (1974). This group of teeth from the Lance Formation is referred to S. inequalis. The third group of teeth has well developed serrations on the anterior and posterior margins; however, these serrations are smaller than those in Pectinodon or Saurornithoides. As in Saurornithoides, the crown tip functions in piercing. Furthermore, the first serration is significantly smaller than the crown tip. In many respects, these teeth resemble those of Velociraptor mongoııensıs (e. g.-, AMNH 6515), except that the anterior serrations are not significantly smaller than the posterior serrations.
Pectinodon bakkeri is provisionally placed in the family Saurornithoididae because the crowns are strongly compressed laterally and serrations are well developed only on the posterior edge.
