The use of advertising in university continuing nursing education
Creators: name: Tkach, Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study examined the current marketing and advertising practices used in university continuing nursing education. The focus of this study was on evaluation of the effectiveness of direct-mail advertising pieces used by this adult education institution. Direct-mail pieces provided by survey respondents were assessed by independent raters using the Evaluation Tool for Print-Related Advertising which was developed specifically for use in this study. Direct-mail advertising was found to be moderately effective as it was currently used in divisions of university continuing nursing education in Canada and the United States. This result indicated that there is significant room for improvement in the area of planning and developing direct-mail advertising pieces for university continuing nursing education. Institutional advertising has not been used by these divisions to inform the target population about the philosophy, aims, purposes and ideas of continuing nursing education, nor has institutional advertising been used to inform the general public or potential sources of funding about the benefits to be derived by the public from supporting continuing education activities in this profession which would include improved patient care. Little effort has been made to inform the future target market which is comprised of student nurses about the purpose and need to continue education beyond initial graduation in this profession. Variance in scores of effective advertising were found to be influenced by a variety of factors. These factors included the media mix currently used by university continuing nursing education divisions, the media mix which was proposed to be used in the future by the directors of these divisions, the age of the director, the knowledge that the director had about advertising and marketing concepts and practices, the time spent by the director on completing advertising responsibilities on a weekly basis, the financial resources which were allocated for advertising expenditures during the fiscal year 1979-1980 and the financial resources proposed for future advertising expenditures, the educational preparation of the director in the field of nursing, and the attitude of the director towards the use and preparation of advertising for the continuing nursing education division. The Evaluation Tool for Print-Related Advertising was found to be a reliable evaluation tool and a useful evaluation tool because it can be used to identify areas which require improvement in direct-mail advertising pieces while they are in the process of development.
title: The Book of Memes

Publisher: name: Old Dominion University
publisherIdentifier: https://ror.org/04zjtrb98
publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR
Year: 2011

description: The Book of Memes describes the classic battle between free will and mind control. In a process similar to installing new software on a computer, an investigator modifies the behavior of unruly high school students by implantation of new memes, tiny bits of information that regulate human behavior much the same as genes regulate human biology. In short order the students change from thugs to model students. But in the rush to get the job done, the investigator ignores issues such as freedom to choose, and the students are given no choice whether they want new memes or not.

description: We use Shear Transformation Zone (STZ) theory to develop a deformation map for amorphous solids as a function of the imposed shear rate and initial material preparation. The STZ formulation incorporates recent simulation results [Haxton and Liu, PRL 99 195701 (2007)] showing that the steady state effective temperature is rate dependent. The resulting model predicts a wide range of deformation behavior as a function of the initial conditions, including homogeneous deformation, broad shear bands, extremely thin shear bands, and the onset of material failure. In particular, the STZ model predicts homogeneous deformation for shorter quench times and lower strain rates, and inhomogeneous deformation for longer quench times and higher strain rates. The location of the transition between homogeneous and inhomogeneous flow on the deformation map is determined in part by the steady state effective temperature, which is likely material dependent. This model also suggests that material failure occurs due to a runaway feedback between shear heating and the local disorder, and provides an explanation for the thickness of shear bands near the onset of material failure. We find that this model, which resolves dynamics within a sheared material interface, predicts that the stress weakens with strain much more rapidly than a similar model which uses a single state variable to specify internal dynamics on the interface.

description: In this letter we present clear evidence that Mrk 573 is an obscured Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) and not an archetypal Seyfert 2, as it has been classified until now. Only three galaxies have been proposed as members of this class, prior to this work. Here we report near-infrared spectroscopic data taken with LIRIS on the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope (WHT). Our high quality near-infrared nuclear spectrum in the 0.88-1.35 micron wavelength range shows the permitted O I 1.128,1.317 micron narrow lines, the Fe II 9200-Ålines and the Fe II 1-micron lines, together with a relatively broad component (~1700 km/s) of Paschen Beta. These features can originate only in an optically thick high density region, similar to those observed in the Broad Line Region (BLR).

Matrix Models for the Black Hole Information Paradox

description: We study various matrix models with a charge-charge interaction as toy models of the gauge dual of the AdS black hole. These models show a continuous spectrum and power-law decay of correlators at late time and infinite N, implying information loss in this limit. At finite N, the spectrum is discrete and correlators have recurrences, so there is no information loss. We study these models by a variety of techniques, such as Feynman graph expansion, loop equations, and sum over Young tableaux, and we obtain explicitly the leading 1/N^2 corrections for the spectrum and correlators. These techniques are suggestive of possible dual bulk descriptions. At fixed order in 1/N^2 the spectrum remains continuous and no recurrence occurs, so information loss persists. However, the interchange of the long-time and large-N limits is subtle and requires further study.

Maladaptive behavior of mentally retarded adults : a comparison of two measures
Creators: name: Gardner, JoAnne Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Since 1973, Adaptive Behavior has been recommended by the American Association of Mental Deficiency as an important measure for classifying mentally retarded subjects. Recently, the literature has supported the use of maladaptive behavior measures to improve further this classification. However, problems result when attempting to assess maladaptive behavior. The AAMD Behavior Scale Part II (ABS) has a recorded interrater reliability of .57. The Maladaptive Behavior Profile, (MBP) a recently developed scale, has no validity and reliability information. The purpose of this study was to attempt to increase the reliability of the ABS Part II by modifying the scoring procedure. For example, the terms "none", "occasionally", and "frequently" were replaced with "none", "daily", "weekly", "monthly", "yearly". The second purpose of this study was to estimate the reliability of the MBP along with attempting to assess its validity. Also, the items of both scales were analyzed to provide further suggestions for modifications to the scales which will serve to enhance their utility. Finally, this study attempted to estimate the relationship maladaptive behavior (as measured by ABS total scores) had with placement, intelligence, length of institutionalization, sex, age, and etiology. A sample of 97 mentally retarded ambulatory adults residing in an institution were assessed using the ABS Part II (modified) and the MBP. Two raters familiar with the individual subject independently completed both scales. A sample of 32 subjects, selected from the 97 in sample 1, had the original ABS Part II rated independently by two additional raters. Observations were conducted on these 32 subjects in an attempt to validate the findings with the MBP. Biodemographic information (age, sex, etiology, etc.) was obtained from the resident's files. The results of this study revealed an interrater reliability of .706 for the modified version and a .448 interrater reliability coefficient for the original ABS. A rather low interrater reliability coefficient of .336 (severity) and .324 (Intervention) was found for the MBP. The item analysis information for the ABS modified and original and MBP revealed that many of the items were not discriminating among the institutionalized adults in the sample. Because of the low interrater reliability of the MBP and the Behavior Observation Checklist, a predictive criterion validity study was not conducted. However, a content validity summary provided guidelines for modifying the scale. Reason for admittance and placement were the only two biodemographic variables that reached significance when correlated with Maladaptive behavior. In conclusion, the modifications made to the ABS Part II greatly enhanced the reliability. The MBP, while still in the experimental stages, needs further modifications made to format, scoring, and the item pool in order to make it more reliable and effective as a programming instrument.

description: A 1D mechanical model for nanogranular films, based on a structural interface, is here presented. The analytical dispersion relation for the frequency and lifetimes of the acoustics breathing modes is obtained in terms of the interface layer thickness and porosity. The model is successfully benchmarked both against 3D Finite Element Method simulations and experimental photoacoustic data on a paradigmatic system available from the literature. A simpler 1D model, based on an homogenized interface, is also presented and its limitations and pitfalls discussed at the light of the more sophisticated pillar model. The pillar model captures the relevant physics responsible for acoustic dissipation at a disordered interface. Furthermore, the present findings furnish to the experimentalist an easy-to-adopt, benchmarked analytical tool to extract the interface layer physical parameters upon fitting of the acoustic data. The model is scale invariant and may be deployed, other than the case of granular materials, where a patched interface is involved.
Indonesia’s Disability Policy Reform under the Jokowi Government: Progressive Legal Framework versus Half-hearted Inclusion

description: The ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and the passage of Indonesia’s first national law based on disability rights, No. 8 of 2016 on Persons with Disabilities, have laid the groundwork for a paradigm shift in understanding and  approaching disability in the country. Based on descriptive analysis and long-term observation, this article argues that advances in the legal frameworks that govern disability policies have yet to result in significant improvements in the lives of Indonesians with disabilities. A lack of budget commitment, regulatory discord, and insufficient awareness of disability rights in the public and private sectors all point to a half-hearted approach to disability inclusion. This article illustrates this argument by focusing on three crucial aspects of the realisation of human rights for people with disabilities in Indonesia: the rights to education, health and employment.

description: Local compositions and structures of Zn_{1-x}Mg_{x}O alloys have been investigated by Raman and solid-state {67}Zn/{25}Mg nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies, and by neutron pair-distribution-function (PDF) analyses. The E2(low) and E2(high) Raman modes of Zn_{1-x}Mg_{x}O display Gaussian- and Lorentzian-type profiles, respectively. At higher Mg substitutions, both modes become broader, while their peak positions shift in opposite directions. The evolution of Raman spectra from Zn_{1-x}Mg_{x}O solid solutions are discussed in terms of lattice deformation associated with the distinct coordination preferences of Zn and Mg. Solid-state magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR studies suggest that the local electronic environments of {67}Zn in ZnO are only weakly modified by the 15% substitution of Mg for Zn. {25}Mg MAS spectra of Zn_{0.85}Mg_{0.15}O show an unusual upfield shift, demonstrating the prominent shielding ability of Zn in the nearby oxidic coordination sphere. Neutron PDF analyses of Zn_{0.875}Mg_{0.125}O using a 2x2x1 supercell corresponding to Zn_{7}MgO_{8} suggest that the mean local geometry of MgO_{4} fragments concurs with previous density functional theory (DFT)-based structural relaxations of hexagonal wurtzite MgO. MgO_{4} tetrahedra are markedly compressed along their c-axes and are smaller in volume than ZnO_{4} units by ~6%. Mg atoms in Zn_{1-x}Mg_{x}O have a shorter bond to the $c$-axial oxygen atom than to the three lateral oxygen atoms, which is distinct from the coordination of Zn. The precise structure, both local and average, of Zn_{0.875}Mg_{0.125}O obtained from time-of-flight total neutron scattering supports the view that Mg-substitution in ZnO results in increased total spontaneous polarization.

description: In this paper, we apply Lagrangian descriptors to study the invariant manifolds that emerge from the top of two barriers existing in the LiCNLiNC isomerization reaction. We demonstrate that the integration times must be large enough compared with the characteristic stability exponents of the periodic orbit under study. The invariant manifolds manifest as singularities in the Lagrangian descriptors. Furthermore, we develop an equivalent potential energy surface with 2 degrees of freedom, which reproduces with a great accuracy previous results [Phys. Rev. E 99, 032221 (2019)]. This surface allows the use of an adiabatic approximation to develop a more simplified potential energy with solely 1 degree of freedom. The reduced dimensional model is still able to qualitatively describe the results observed with the original 2-degrees-of-freedom potential energy landscape. Likewise, it is also used to study in a more simple manner the influence on the Lagrangian descriptors of a bifurcation, where some of the previous invariant manifolds emerge, even before it takes place.

Cultural influences upon children’s moral development
Creators: name: Neighbor, Edward William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study examines the effects of certain cultural factors - social perspective, family ideology and religious orientation - on moral development as defined by Lawrence Kohlberg. Four groups, characterized as secular western, traditional western, secular non-western and traditional non-western, were investigated to see if any differences in moral development could be determined and also to see if these differences could be attributed to the factors listed above. It was found that there was no difference between the groups on the moral development factor. There was some difference found between the groups on the social and religious factors. It was also found that socialization skills and the religious factor did have significant effect upon moral development.
title: Methodological developments in data fusion for lake water reflectance from satellite sensors
Creators: name: Zou, Zhaoyuan
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2025

description: Fusing satellite-sensed reflectance data from different sources is of interest to monitor lake water quality, and the satellite sensors have possibly different spatial, temporal and spectral supports. The nonparametric statistical downscaling (NSD) model is an existing state-of-the-art fusion model which can account for a change of spatial and temporal support between two remote sensors [Wilkie et al., 2019]. However, the NSD model is computationally demanding for large datasets and does not allow multivariate responses with an additional spectral dimension. Thus, the aim of this thesis is to improve the computational efficiency of the NSD model and then extend this model to provide an approach that is suitable for a multivariate response to enable the fuse of reflectance data with different spectral and temporal supports from two sensors. The NSD model assumes that the discrete data at each location within a lake from each data source are observations of smooth functions over time and that the coefficients of these smooth functions are modelled as spatially correlated via a covariance matrix. In this thesis, a novel approach proposes using a Gaussian predictive process to approximate the spatial varying coefficients in the NSD model, which requires the inversion of a matrix with smaller dimensions in the Gibbs sampling process and hence reduces the computational time for the parameter estimation. The predictive performance and computational efficiency of the proposed nonparametric statistical downscaling model with Gaussian predictive process (NSD-GPP) are compared to the NSD model through simulation and using satellite reflectance data from Lake Garda. It was found that the NSD-GPP model achieves a similar predictive performance as the NSD model using less computational time. To enable data fusion from the two sensors with a multivariate wavelength dimension, a novel method using the two-dimensional B-spline basis functions was developed where the basis functions were used to represent the reflectance over both time and wavelength at each location, and a different precision parameter was used for each wavelength. Lake Garda is used as an example of interest here, and methods are general for any lake of interest in principle. Overall, it is found that the proposed multivariate NSD-GPP model could be used to make predictions for the unobserved wavelengths and time points within the observed range. It may be beneficial to provide reflectance data at higher temporal and wavelength frequencies, and this model could in principle be extended to consider similar challenges in space.

description: We derive the cosmic star formation history (CSFH) out to z=1.3 using a sample of ~350 radio-selected star-forming galaxies, a far larger sample than in previous, similar studies. We attempt to differentiate between radio emission from AGN and star-forming galaxies, and determine an evolving 1.4 GHz luminosity function based on these VLA-COSMOS star forming galaxies. We precisely measure the high-luminosity end of the star forming galaxy luminosity function (SFR>100 M_Sol/yr; equivalent to ULIRGs) out to z=1.3, finding a somewhat slower evolution than previously derived from mid-infrared data. We find that more stars are forming in luminous starbursts at high redshift. We use extrapolations based on the local radio galaxy luminosity function; assuming pure luminosity evolution, we derive $L_* \propto (1+z)^{2.1 \pm 0.2}$ or $L_* \propto (1+z)^{2.5 \pm 0.1}$, depending on the choice of the local radio galaxy luminosity function. Thus, our radio-derived results independently confirm the ~1 order of magnitude decline in the CSFH since z~1.

Initially, an overview of 5G driven IoT is presented with details about both technologies and eventually leading to problems that 5th generation will face. Details about 5G are also presented while comparing them with previous technologies. The architecture of 5G is presented hence explaining layers of 5G and technologies like SDN, NFV and cloud computing that compose these layers. The architecture for 5g based IoT is also presented for providing visual understanding as well as explained based on how this addresses the issues present in 4G. Privacy is highlighted in 5G driven IoT while providing details about how SDN, NFV and cloud computing helps in elimination of this issue. The issues presented will be compared with 4G based IoT and solutions are provided about mitigation of these issues particularly bandwidth and security. Moreover, techniques used by 4G and 5G technologies for handling the issues of privacy in IoT are presented in a nutshell as a table. Paper also presents a detailed overview of technologies making 5G possible meanwhile giving an explanation about how these technologies resolve privacy issues in 5G.

description: In a recent letter [\textit{Phys.~Rev.~Lett.}~\textbf{125}, 085001 (2020)], Dornheim \textit{et al.}~have presented the first \textit{ab initio} path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) results for the nonlinear electronic density response at warm dense matter (WDM) conditions. In the present work, we extend these considerations by exploring the relation between the nonlinear response and three-/four-body correlation functions from many-body theory. In particular, this connection directly implies a comparably increased sensitivity of the nonlinear response to electronic exchange-correlation (XC) effects, which is indeed confirmed by our analysis over the entire relevant range of densities ($r_s=0.5,\dots,10$) and temperatures ($θ=0.01,\dots,4$). Finally, our work suggests the possibility of deliberately probing the nonlinear regime to experimentally probe three- and potentially even four-body correlation functions in WDM.

description: This paper is motivated by the increasing security concerns of cyber-physical systems. Here, we develop a discretization-free verification scheme targeting an information-flow security property, called approximate initial-state opacity, for the class of discrete-time control systems. We propose notions of so-called augmented control barrier certificates in conjunction with specified regions of interest capturing the initial and secret sets of the system. Sufficient conditions for (the lack of) approximate initial-state opacity of discrete-time control systems are proposed based on the existence of the proposed barrier certificates. We further present an efficient computation method by casting the conditions for barrier certificates as sum-of-squares programming problems. The effectiveness of the proposed results is illustrated through two numerical examples.

The development of a sociocultural curriculum in Nigerian studies : an integration of ethnomusicology and social studies
Creators: name: Ezegbe, Clement Chukuemeka
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to develop a curriculum for ethnomusicological education in Nigerian elementary schools based on the integration of ethnomusicology and social studies. The aims of the curriculum were identified so as to be consistent with the aims of the Nigerian education system and in particular with the recently expressed aims of the Nigerian social studies curriculum which is intended to foster inter- and cross-ethnic communication and understanding and national identity in a country which contains more than 250 ethnic groups. A consideration of appropriate curriculum content led to the identification of five basic concepts in ethnomusicology and five concepts basic to social studies. The integration of these concepts into a unified curriculum was made through an Identity Approach which permitted the identification of relevant cognitive, affective and skill objectives and indicated appropriate learning processes. Three curriculum units were developed in detail and field tested in upper elementary classes in two elementary schools in southeastern Nigeria. This field testing—the classroom phase of the curriculum development— involved 120 students, ten teachers and the administrators of the schools. The staff were given instruction in the curriculum materials and the Identity Approach following which the students were engaged in twenty-four sessions and covered the three units which had been developed. The results of the classroom phase were studied from students', teachers' and administrators' opinions and recommendations and their responses to four opinionaires. All responses indicated a high degree of student interest in the project and evidence of an increase in inter-and cross-ethnic understanding and respect. Teachers found the project to have contributed to their professional development and both teachers and administrators reported community interest and involvement. Problems identified by the staff and administrators related to inadequate funds and provision of materials or equipment. Administrators also noted the need for involvement by the Ministry of Education if widespread implementation were to be contemplated.
title: A Practical Approach to Estimating Sector-Level Substitution Elasticities with PPML

description: In this paper, we provide a practical approach to estimating the elasticity of substitution
by sector using a PPML estimator, building on the methodology described in Riker
(2020). The method is illustrated by estimating elasticities for NAICS 3-digit and 6-digit
manufacturing sectors. The PPML estimates are compared with estimates produced
using OLS and across different levels of aggregation in the data. We find that the
PPML estimator tends to produce elasticity estimates that are larger and have greater
variability than the OLS estimates.

Universal Clock Field Theory: A Preliminary Proposal for the Unification of Emergent Time, Gauge Interactions, Gravity, Quantum Measurement, and the Dark Sector

description: We propose Universal Clock Field Theory (UCFT), wherein a single oscillatory phase field θ(x), defined modulo 2π, underlies the emergence of time, gauge interactions, gravitational dynamics, quantum measurement, and the dark sector.In this construction, theta arises via spontaneous symmetry breaking of a complex scalar field Φ(x) = ρ(x) exp[i θ(x)], and its compact nature drives topological effects that yield emergent gauge fields, a non-perturbative Yang-Mills mass gap, and a derivation of the invariant speed of light.Coupling theta to gravity modifies Einstein’s equations, providing non-singular cosmologies and potential hairy black hole solutions. Furthermore, theta-driven decoherence addresses the quantum measurement problem, and a shallow potential or topological defects for theta naturally accommodate dark energy and dark matter.Although still in an exploratory stage, UCFT offers testable predictions and new avenues for theoretical and experimental research in fundamental physics.

Propagators in Lagrangian space

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It has been found recently that propagators, e.g. the cross-correlation spectra of the cosmic fields with the initial density field, decay exponentially at large-k in an Eulerian description of the dynamics. We explore here similar quantities defined for a Lagrangian space description. We find that propagators in Lagrangian space do not exhibit the same properties: they are found not to be monotonic functions of time, and to track back the linear growth rate at late time (but with a renormalized amplitude). These results have been obtained with a novel method which we describe alongside. It allows the formal resummation of the same set of diagrams as those that led to the known results in Eulerian space. We provide a tentative explanation for the marked differences seen between the Eulerian and the Lagrangian cases, and we point out the role played by the vorticity degrees of freedom that are specific to the Lagrangian formalism. This provides us with new insights into the late-time behavior of the propagators.

Nonmesonic weak decay spectra of $^4_Λ$He

description: To comprehend the recent Brookhaven National Laboratory experiment E788 on $^4_Λ$He, we have outlined a simple theoretical framework, based on the independent-particle shell model, for the one-nucleon-induced nonmesonic weak decay spectra. Basically, the shapes of all the spectra are tailored by the kinematics of the corresponding phase space, depending very weakly on the dynamics, which is gauged here by the one-meson-exchange-potential. In spite of the straightforwardness of the approach a good agreement with data is acheived. This might be an indication that the final-state-interactions and the two-nucleon induced processes are not very important in the decay of this hypernucleus. We have also found that the $π+K$ exchange potential with soft vertex-form-factor cutoffs $(Λ_π\approx 0.7$ GeV, $Λ_K \approx 0.9$ GeV), is able to account simultaneously for the available experimental data related to $Γ_p$ and $Γ_n$ for $^4_Λ$H, $^4_Λ$He, and $^5_Λ$He.
