Exploring Collective Teacher Efficacy in High- and Low-Performing Schools
Creators: name: Jones, Mary Beecroft
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study examined collective teacher efficacy (CTE), its formation, and its influence in a high- and low-performing school, comparing their experiences of CTE with the model suggested by theory and existing research. Collective teacher efficacy reflects teachers’ shared beliefs about their ability to positively influence student achievement beyond external factors. The malleability of CTE and research linking it to school achievement have led many to embrace enhancing CTE as a high-potential intervention for school improvement. There are, however, historically low-performing schools reporting high levels of CTE that challenge this model of CTE, which posits a mutually reinforcing relationship between CTE and achievement. In a 2015 survey of schools in an urban school district, several historically low-performing schools ranked in the top quartile for average levels of collective teacher efficacy. Through purposeful sampling of two high-CTE schools in this district, one high achieving and one low, the study explores how, and to what extent, certain factors contribute to the formation of collective efficacy beliefs in high- and low-performing schools, as well as how, and to what extent, higher levels of CTE in both contexts work through teacher effort, persistence, resilience, and goal setting to foster positive outcomes. The study employs a sequential explanatory mixed methods design, offering quantitative analyses of survey responses (n=23) and state accountability data, as well as qualitative consideration of semi-structured teacher and leader interviews (n=17). This study identifies structures, processes, and teacher experiences that influence CTE with and without school-wide student achievement. It contrasts sources of information that are consequential for school improvement with sources that foster a superficial sense of CTE, which is not associated with achievement. The findings illuminate the complex ways CTE beliefs are formed and substantiate the ways sources of efficacy beliefs matter to outcomes. This study advances our theoretical understanding of CTE by describing nuances among factors that contribute to CTE in high- and low performing schools. When informed by certain sources of information and influenced by contextual factors in particular ways, CTE can lead to positive outcomes or not; this study helps us understand more precisely how that happens.

description: Flux limited X-ray surveys of galaxy clusters show that clusters come in two roughly equally proportioned varieties: "cool core" clusters (CCs) and non-"cool core" clusters (NCCs). In previous work, we have demonstrated using cosmological $N$-body + Eulerian hydrodynamic simulations that NCCs are often consistent with early major mergers events that destroy embryonic CCs. In this paper we extend those results and conduct a series of simulationsusing different methods of gas cooling, and of energy and metal feedback from supernovae, where we attempt to produce a population of clusters with realistic central cooling times, entropies, and temperatures. We find that the use of metallicity-dependent gas cooling is essential to prevent early overcooling,and that adjusting the amount of energy and metal feedback can have a significant impact on observable X-ray quantities of the gas. We are able to produce clusters with more realistic central observable quantities than have previously been attained. However, there are still significant discrepancies between the simulated clusters and observations, which indicates that a different approach to simulating galaxies in clusters is needed. We conclude by looking towards a promising subgrid method of modeling galaxy feedback in clusters which may help to ameliorate the discrepancies between simulations and observations.

title: Parabolic Transcendence in Time and Narrative

description: Subjectivity, memory, and the invisible connections between individuals’ identities are
all conspicuous themes within filmmaker Shane Carruth’s two award-winning indie sci-fi
films, Primer (US 2004) and Upstream Color (US 2013). In this article, I contend that both
Primer and Upstream Color are post-secular cinematic parables per philosopher Paul
Ricoeur’s description of parable: the conjunction of a narrative form and a metaphorical
process, addressing the religious via non-religious discourse. Interpreting these two films
through a Ricoeurian parabolic hermeneutic addresses their mutual transcendence in
and through time and narrative via their striking visual and auditory aesthetics, the use of
montage in their nonlinear narratives, and the depiction of invisible relational connections
between the films’ protagonists. I conclude that Carruth’s post-secular cinema resides in
an in-between space: between the secular and the religious, realism and expressionism,
immanence and transcendence.

title: Eccentric, concentric and isometric strength in trained and untrained older adults
Creators: name: Rosete, Fernando A.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University

description:
The process of aging includes changes in muscle and connective tissue architecture and function, increased stiffness, loss of strength and functionality. Nonetheless, older adults are able to maintain eccentric (ECC) strength levels in a greater proportion, when compared to maintaining isometric (ISO) strength and concentric (CON) strength. The purpose of this study was to compare CON, ECC and ISO leg extension torque between trained (T) and untrained (U) older adults. Twenty older adults (60 years and older) who had no knee pathologies were recruited. A Biodex dynamometer was used to measure leg extensor torque for ISO, CON and ECC, in T and U subjects. Torque values relative to body weight (relative torques) were determined for each subject and compared between groups. The ratio of ECC: ISO was calculated and compared across groups. The T group were significantly stronger for ISO (p = 0.009). No significant differences were found for CON (p = 0.088) and ECC (p = 0.220). In addition, the U group registered a significantly higher ratio of ECC: ISO (p = 0.029), when compared to the T group. The findings in this study demonstrate older adults are able to maintain ECC, regardless of training status.
Effect of Temperature, CO2 Pressure, and Brine Composition on the Layer Spacing of Montmorillonite

description: CO2 sequestration is one proposed method to help combat the increasing levels of anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere. It involves the capture and pressurization of CO2 to form supercritical CO2 (scCO2), which is then pumped deep underground into saline aquifers or depleted oil reservoirs, where it is hydrodynamically trapped below an impermeable shale caprock. Smectite clays, which are an integral component in the sealing capabilities of shales, are “swelling clays” that can exhibit large changes in molar volume in response to changes in the activity of H2O (aH2O), which can fluctuate based on brine composition, temperature, and pressure. These changes in molar volume of smectite clay can greatly affect the sealing capabilities of the caprock shales. The present study investigates the effect of CO2 on a Na-rich montmorillonite smectite (Clay Minerals Society Source Clay, SWy-2) as a function of temperature (T), pressure using CO2 gas [P(CO2)], and NaCl brine composition. For comparison, the clay mineral was investigated at the same conditions, but in the presence of He [P(He)]. The molar volume of SWy-2, as determined by the direct measurement of d(001), was determined using X-ray diffraction techniques and a specially constructed environmental chamber. Measurements were made at P(CO2) and P(He) to ~1000 bars and temperatures to 150°C, with eight NaCl brine compositions from 0.17M to NaCl saturation. At near ambient pressure and temperature conditions, a change in brine composition from 0.17M to 5.99M resulted in d(001) decreasing from 22.6 Å to 16.7 Å (26%). Increasing P(CO2) from 1 to 500 bars at T ~31°C resulted in minimal to no change in d(001). Increasing T from ~31 to 150°C at an initial P(CO2) = 500 bars resulted in a large decrease in d(001) of ~10 to 17% for clay in the 1.37 M and 1.71 M brines. This large reduction in molar volume observed could lead to dehydration cracking in the overlying shale, compromising the sealing capabilities of the caprock. Results using P(He) were identical, within error, suggesting that at these experimental conditions, CO2 does enter the interlayer of Na-SWy-2.

description: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a highly malignant cancer with great metastatic potential. Here we aimed to investigate the role of Piezo1, a gene related to the mechanical environment of the tumor, in promoting the metastasis of OC. We performed Piezo1 knockdown in A-1847 cells using small hairpin RNAs, and the cells were inoculated subcutaneously in nude mice. Piezo1 knockdown decreased the tumor growth rate of OC tumor xenografts in mice and reduced cell migration in vitro. Metastasis in the lung was also attenuated after Piezo1 knockdown as revealed by HE staining of the lung tissues, which was concomitant with downregulation of E-Cadherin and vimentin and upregulation of N-Cadherin analyzed using western blot analysis, suggesting suppressed epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Migration of Piezo1-knockdown cells was also analyzed for their migratory capabilities using the scratch assay. We also analyzed the key proteins in the Hippo/YAP signaling pathway using western blot after treating A-1847 and 3AO cells with a Piezo1 inducer, Yoda1. Piezo1 inducer Yoda1 activated Hippo/YAP signal in OC cells. In conclusion, Piezo1 is overexpressed in OC tissues and contributes to OC tumor growth and metastasis. Suppression of Piezo1 is a potential therapeutic strategy for OC.

description: 1. This study explored the tissue metabolic status and the relationship with inflammation in valgus-valgus deformity (VVD) broilers with increasing age. 2. Tissue and blood from VVD and healthy broilers were collected at two, four and five weeks old. A fully automated biochemical analyser, real-time PCR, HE staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to detect tissue metabolic indexes, mRNA levels of inflammation and apoptosis cytokines in immune organs, histological changes and serum inflammation and immune-related protein contents in VVD broilers. 3. The results showed that VVD increased the levels of total protein, albumin, alanine aminotransferase at five weeks of age, aspartate aminotransferase, urea and creatine kinase in blood at two weeks of age. It upregulated the gene expression of inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, NF-κB and TGF-β and apoptotic factors FAS, Bcl-2, caspase-3 and 9 in immune organs; increased levels of serum proteins TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 and decreased levels of serum immunoglobulins IgY and CD3+. 4. In addition, with increasing age, IL-10 gene expression gradually increased in the BF and decreased in the spleen. 5. In conclusion, VVD broilers have disorders of liver and kidney metabolism, inflammation and apoptosis of immune organs and increased levels of serum inflammatory factor proteins.

description: 1. Genetic selection for bone quality can improve this, as it is heritable. A method was established using digital X-ray which took around 40 s in total and gave an image that allowed quantification of bone density from many appendicular bones. 2. The tibiotarsus measurement of bone density on the live hen across the different experiments had correlations with post-mortem whole bone radiographic density from 0.62 to 0.7, similar to that between density and material properties for example. Differences between groups of hens, where calcium and phosphorus in the diet were manipulated, were detected within 3 weeks of treatment using live hen measurement (P < 0.001, n = 24). 3. In a gage analysis, ‘hen’ explained more than 86% of the variance, demonstrating the ability to observe clear differences between hens. The effect of different operators’ analysis on the contribution to variance was very low as was the repeated measurement of the same hen. 4. The measurement of bone density on the live hen described in this paper represented major progress to a usable method for genetic selection to improve bone strength in laying hens. The method has the potential to reduce the number of animals needed to test nutritional and management interventions to improve bone health.
The Role of Gut Bacteria in Tacrolimus Disposition

description: Tacrolimus is the mainstay immunosuppressant drug used after solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Tacrolimus exhibits a low and variable oral bioavailability, with an average of 25% of the oral dose reaching the systemic circulation. The major site of drug loss is in the gut, and the gut extraction ratio was reported as 85% and 74% in healthy and liver transplant patients, respectively. However, current known factors including CYP3A4/5 mediated drug metabolism and P-glycoprotein mediated drug efflux does not fully explain the drug loss. This suggest other contributing factors are yet to be well defined. In this project, we examined the possibility of tacrolimus being metabolized by bacteria that contribute to low oral drug exposure. Our results demonstrate bacterial metabolism of tacrolimus as an important elimination pathway in humans. In detail, human gut bacteria can convert tacrolimus to hydroxyl-tacrolimus, a much less active form, through ketone reduction and reduce tacrolimus oral exposure.

description: Large-scale fading (LSF) between interacting nodes is a fundamental element in radio communications, responsible for weakening the propagation, and thus worsening the service quality. Given the importance of channel-losses in general, and the inevitability of random spatial geometry in real-life wireless networks, it was then natural to merge these two paradigms together in order to obtain an improved stochastical model for the LSF indicator. Therefore, in exact closed-form notation, we generically derived the LSF distribution between a prepositioned reference base-station and an arbitrary node for a multi-cellular random network model. In fact, we provided an explicit and definitive formulation that considered at once: the lattice profile, the users' random geometry, the effect of the far-field phenomenon, the path-loss behavior, and the stochastic impact of channel scatters. The veracity and accuracy of the theoretical analysis were also confirmed through Monte Carlo simulations.

Citizen-Centric Smart Cities: Planning for Travel Behavior in a Technology Empowered Future

description: A multitude of confounding factors contribute to the success of smart cities (Caragliu et al., 2011; Giffinger et al., 2010; Lee et al., 2013). Many of these factors are centered around the citizens and their interactions with its various technological elements. The concept of “citizen-centric smart cities” is proposed in the literature to better comply with this (Allam and Newman, 2018; Lee and Lee, 2014; Yonezawa et al., 2015; Zakzak, 2019). Acknowledging the role of the technology-centric approaches in the past in leading our cities towards ecosystems that favor drivers over pedestrians (Allam and Newman, 2018; Ewing et al., 2018; Shelton et al., 2015; Southworth, 2005), the research presented in this dissertation aims at providing insights into the success of future citizen-centric smart cities. Extracting the influence of socio-psychological contributors such as lifestyles, habits, and higher-level orientations is a dominant note of the present research throughout its four main study chapters, as discussed briefly in the following. First (chapter 3), the dynamics of travelers’ modality styles were analyzed while accounting for the existence of mobility-on-demand (MoD) services in the market. The dynamics of modality styles is an important aspect that has remained understudied to this point. This study contributes to the existing literature by breaking down the modality style dynamics into: (1) the baseline preferences, and (2) the longer-term (i.e., a 30-day time window) inter-modal substitution behavior. Second (chapter 4), the influence of lifestyles on productive travels using public transportation was analyzed, to obtain insights into how a future autonomous transit system can account for the expectations and needs of its users with respect to the efficiency of the activities performed while riding –i.e., cited in the literature as “travel-based multitasking” (Singleton, 2018). How well a transportation mode could facilitate this desire of the travelers is cited in the literature as its “multitaskability” and plays an indisputable role in attracting potential users (Mokhtarian, 2019; Mokhtarian and Salomon, 1997; Pawlak et al., 2016). As such, the results of this research could be used to inform future developments of the transit system towards providing more attractive services. Third (chapters ‎5 and ‎6), the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the dynamics of activity-travel behavior in the future is analyzed based on a comprehensive travel survey conducted in the Chicago metropolitan area. The pandemic forced many to re-examine their habits, and thereby, caused considerable changes in the current travel patterns. Therefore, the last two research chapters of this dissertation is dedicated to understanding the “stickiness” of the heightened levels of shifting towards tele-activities (i.e., online shopping and working from home, etc.) as well as private modes of travel in the post-pandemic future.

description: By assuming that only gravitation exists between dark matter (DM) and normal matter (NM), we study the effects of fermionic DM on the properties of neutron stars using the two-fluid Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff formalism. It is found that the mass-radius relationship of the DM admixed neutron stars (DANSs) depends sensitively on the mass of DM candidates, the amount of DM, and interactions among DM candidates. The existence of DM in DANSs results in a spread of mass-radius relationships that cannot be interpreted with a unique equilibrium sequence. In some cases, the DM distribution can surpass the NM distribution to form DM halo. In particular, it is favorable to form an explicit DM halo, provided the repulsion of DM exists. It is interesting to find that the difference in particle number density distributions in DANSs and consequently in star radii caused by various density dependencies of nuclear symmetry energy tends to disappear as long as the repulsion of accumulated DM is sufficient. These phenomena indicate that the admixture of DM in neutron stars can significantly affect the astrophysical extraction of nuclear equation of state by virtue of neutron star measurements. In addition, the effect of the DM admixture on the star maximum mass is also investigated.

description: All catalyzed reactions occur on catalyst surfaces. Surface sensitive analytical techniques provide vital information for the understanding of the catalytic processes. However, surface analysis methods often require ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). UHV conditions are ideal for fundamental research; however, industrial process occur at or above ambient pressures (AP). To better understand industrial processes, ambient pressure surface analysis methods have been developed. Using reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) and its ambient pressure derivative, polarization dependent reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (PD-RAIRS), adsorbate-surface interactions can be probed under a wide range of pressures from 1×10-10 Torr to ambient pressures. Through PD-RAIRS, gas phase reactions can be monitored quantitatively to determine the efficiency and lifetime of a catalyst as well as the kinetic parameters of the reaction. Furthermore, single atom alloy catalysts have recently garnered much attention due to the enhanced selectivity and lower energy barriers required for desired reactions to occur. PD-RAIRS was used to probe the hydrogenation of propyne to propene over a Cu(111) catalyst surface and a 2% Pd/Cu(111) single atom alloy catalyst surface. Through PD-RAIRS, the adsorption geometry of propyne on both surfaces was determined to be di-σ/di-π under ambient pressures. The adsorption geometry of propyne on Cu(111) is the same under ambient pressures and UHV conditions. Conversely, there is a stark difference in the adsorption geometry of propene between UHV and ambient pressure conditions. From the gas phase PD-RAIR spectra, the activation energy of propyne hydrogenation over the SAA catalyst was determined to be 39.4 kJ/mol which is nearly identical to the activation energy of propyne hydrogenation over a pure Pd catalyst. The turnover frequency of propene production from the single atom alloy catalyst was determined to be 33.2 s-1 at 383 K with a catalyst lifetime exceeding 12 hours at 383 K. Through ambient pressure surface analysis methods, industrial reactions are better understood. Through this understanding, industrial processes can be optimized for efficiency, throughput, and cost and waste minimization with the inclusion of single atom alloy catalysts.

description: 1. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in various physiological functions. However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of lncRNAs in melanogenesis remain unclear. To determine the molecular mechanisms involved in the melanogenesis of skin melanogenesis, the present study depicted the expression profiles of lncRNAs and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in black- (B group) and white- (W group) skinned chickens using RNA sequencing. 2. In total, 373 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs; 203 up-regulated and 170 down-regulated) and 253 differentially expressed genes (DEGs; 152 up-regulated and 101 down-regulated) were identified between the B and W groups. A total of eight known melanogenesis-related genes were identified (KIT, TYRP1, DCT (TYRP2), SLC45A2, OCA2, EDNRB2, TRPM1 and RAB38). 3. Functional annotation of the co-expressed DEGs of DELs was performed using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses. The co-expressed DEGs were mainly involved in melanogenesis and the co-expressed genes of 117 and 108 DELs were significantly enriched in the melanogenesis and tyrosine metabolism pathways, respectively. 4. The DEL-DEG interaction network revealed that three lncRNAs (XR_003072387.1, XR_003075112.1, and XR_003077033.1) and DCT genes may have key roles in regulating melanogenesis in chicken skin. This data provides the groundwork for studying the lncRNA regulatory mechanisms of skin melanogenesis and suggested a new perspective on the modulation of melanogenesis in chicken skin based on a lncRNA-mRNA causal regulatory network.

description: One year ago, we launched the Journal of Clinical Education in Physical Therapy (JCEPT) with the twin aims of facilitating communication among all involved in physical therapy clinical education and developing educational scholarship related to clinical training. Since then we have leaned on our distinguished JCEPT editorial board, that represent a variety of clinical specialties and roles in physical therapy education, to continue to develop our website and the growing number of submitted manuscripts. In keeping with the mission, three papers have now been published: one perspective addresses the communication network among the many stakeholders in physical therapy clinical education; and two studies examine the integration of simulation into physical therapy curricula.

description: We consider mean curvature flow of n-dimensional surface clusters. At (n-1)-dimensional triple junctions an angle condition is required which in the symmetric case reduces to the well-known 120 degree angle condition. Using a novel parametrization of evolving surface clusters and a new existence and regularity approach for parabolic equations on surface clusters we show local well-posedness by a contraction argument in parabolic Hoelder spaces.

description: 1. This study explored the tissue metabolic status and the relationship with inflammation in valgus-valgus deformity (VVD) broilers with increasing age. 2. Tissue and blood from VVD and healthy broilers were collected at two, four and five weeks old. A fully automated biochemical analyser, real-time PCR, HE staining and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to detect tissue metabolic indexes, mRNA levels of inflammation and apoptosis cytokines in immune organs, histological changes and Serum inflammation and immune-related protein contents in VVD broilers. 3. The results showed that VVD increased the levels of total protein, albumin, alanine aminotransferase ate five weeks of age, aspartate aminotransferase, urea and creatine kinase in blood at two weeks of age. It upregulated the gene expression of inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, NF-κB and TGF-β and apoptotic factors FAS, Bcl-2, caspase-3 and 9 in immune organs; increased levels of serum proteins TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 and decreased levels of serum immunoglobulins IgY and CD3+. 4. In addition, with increasing age, IL-10 gene expression gradually increased in the BF and decreased in the spleen. 5. In conclusion, VVD broilers have disorders of liver and kidney metabolism, inflammation and apoptosis of immune organs and increased levels of serum inflammatory factor proteins.

Neutralino Oscillations at the LHC

description: We study a supersymmetric phenomenon that can give spectacular signals at the LHC: oscillations of neutralinos. Such oscillations can be naturally realised in R-symmetric models, where additional fields are introduced as Dirac mass partners of gauginos and Higgsinos. Majorana masses for gauginos, necessarily generated from anomaly mediation, can create tiny mass splittings between degenerate mass eigenstates, causing states produced at the LHC to oscillate between neutralinos and their Dirac partner fields. Scenarios where such states decay with displaced vertices can lead to striking signatures at the LHC, where the oscillation can be visible directly in the distribution of displaced vertex lengths. We elaborate on the theory and LHC phenomenology of this feature within a specific scenario of a Higgsino decaying with a displaced vertex into a gravitino and a Z boson.

description: Ad Hoc and Mesh networks are good samples of multi agent systems, where their nodes access the channel through carrier sense multiple access method, while a node channel access influence the access of neighbor nodes to the channel. Hence, game theory is a strong tool for studying this kind of networks. Carrier sense multiple access parameters such as minimum and maximum size of contention window and persistence factor can be modified based on game theoretic methods. In this study different games for tuning the parameters is investigated and different challenges are examined.

description: Emerald ash borer, EAB, (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) is an invasive beetle that kills ash trees. It was accidentally introduced from China, and has rapidly expanded across North America, now occupying much of the eastern US. Four classical biocontrol parasitoids have been released to help mitigate its spread and impact: Tetrastichus planipennisi Yang, Spathius agrili Yang, S. galinae Belokobylskij and Strazanac, and Oobius agrili Zhang and Huang. These parasitoids have been deployed throughout EAB’s invaded range, but there has been limited recovery of the parasitoids from their release sites in southern states. I evaluated whether this lack of establishment might be linked to life cycle asynchrony between the parasitoids and EAB. EAB can have a 2- or 1-year life cycle, with the 2-year appearing more common in the north (~> 40°N) and 1-year more common in the south (~> 40°N) and 1-year more common in the south (~< 40°N). I evaluated EAB development across a latitudinal gradientfrom Georgia, Kentucky, and Michigan, and assessed parasitoid establishment in Kentucky.

Evidence of a 2-year life cycle was found as far south as 34°N in Georgia. There is little evidence of parasitoid establishment in Kentucky. These findings suggest that latitude may not be the sole factor influencing EAB life cycle in North America.
