description: Argumentive writing is not an easy skill to master. Students from middle school through college demonstrate weaknesses. In particular they fail to take a dialogic perspective, emphasizing their own position without considering addressing alternatives. Research has shown that engaging in dialog with peers is effective in enhancing students’ argumentive thinking and writing. The present study examines whether college students (n=30) show similar benefits when asked to engage individually in a dialogic argumentive writing task. They were asked to construct a dialog between two people holding opposing positions on an issue. Students in a comparison group (n=30) were asked to write an essay on the same issue. Subsequently students in both groups were asked to write a brief TV script conveying their view. Differences in students’ argumentive skills produced in the dialogs and essays were examined. Results showed that the dialog group more frequently included opponent-directed statements (sum of Critical single evaluation, Compare, Integrate other, and Integrate own/other) and integrative statements (sum of Integrate own, Integrate other, and Integrate own/other) in their writing, compared to the essay group. Differences in students’ writing of their TV scripts were also examined. On this assessment, the effect of the dialog largely disappeared, with students in both the essay and dialog groups focusing largely on their own position. Students’ level of epistemological understanding was also examined – that is, whether they regarded knowledge claims as largely facts (absolutist level), opinions (multiplist level), or judgments subject to scrutiny in a framework of alternatives and evidence (evaluativist level). Level of epistemological understanding was assessed immediately after the writing task to determine if constructing a dialog influenced students to take on a more evaluativist perspective in which the need for comparison of multiple perspectives is recognized. Students who had constructed a dialog were more often assessed to be at the multiplist or evaluativist levels of epistemological understanding (and never at the absolutist level), compared to students who had written an essay rather than constructed a dialog. Although the benefit of the dialogic writing task largely did not generalize to the more self-focused TV script writing task, these findings indicate that promoting a dialogic perspective, even without engaging in dialog with an actual person, can be beneficial in supporting argumentive thinking and writing and mature epistemological understanding.

description: We obtain connection coefficients between $q$-binomial and $q$-trinomial coefficients. Using these, one can transform $q$-binomial identities into a $q$-trinomial identities and back again. To demonstrate the usefulness of this procedure we rederive some known trinomial identities related to partition theory and prove many of the conjectures of Berkovich, McCoy and Pearce, which have recently arisen in their study of the $ϕ_{2,1}$ and $ϕ_{1,5}$ perturbations of minimal conformal field theory.

description: Over the years, we can observe that farmers take up other gainful activities directly related to the agricultural holding (OGA), which affects their economic results. The aim of the study is to show the importance and specificity of OGA in the case of Polish farms. OGA are presented on the basis of data from individual farms of the Polish Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) dated 2019 (1086 holdings). The analysis groups farms by types of farming, economic size classes, and FADN regions. The majority of farms with OGA are farms with agricultural production as core activity. Most of the farms with OGA are small in terms of area and economic class, and specialized in field crops. The output from OGA in the examined group of farms amounted to an average of PLN 12,295 per farm. The most common type of OGA is services using farm equipment and processing of agricultural products. The research results presented in the paper indicate that OGA is a phenomenon that may gain in importance and significantly affect farmers’ income.

Students with disabilities

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of students with disabilities who were participating in an inclusive physical education setting. The information gained will add to the existing knowledge base regarding the placement of students with and without disabilities in a common setting. Given the importance of ensuring that the students with disabilities are able to truly participate in an inclusive setting, the study focused on obtaining and evaluating perceptions with respect to both the inclusive physical education setting and physical activity in general. Participants were seven students with various disabilities from two high schools which utilize inclusive physical education programs. Gaining and understanding of the perceptions of those students required use of various methods, including observations, interviews and visual methodologies. Observations provided information as to the manner in which all students interacted in the classroom setting. Interviews elicited the thoughts of the students with disabilities regarding physical activity, their participation in such activities and their participation in the physical education classroom. Use of visual methods, including pictures and personal artifacts, elicited further thoughts by prompting memories and allowing for further expression of feelings. Students exhibited positive attitudes on physical activity, recognizing the importance of such activity and sharing the belief that a person with a disability is able to participate in physical activities. While students had a positive perception of the inclusive physical education setting, they indicated activity modification would enhance their level of participation. The perceived modifications were predominantly focused on being able to choose an activity during class, one in which they felt they were more likely to succeed. Findings suggest that consideration of students’ perceptions of physical activity, including the perceived impact of their disability must continue to be considered by educators in developing inclusive physical education programs. Such perceptions may impact the level of student participation in an activity and in the physical education class. This is critical for future practice in order to identify additional ways of ensuring that students with disabilities will continue to participate in physical activities, while accepting the limitations of a disability when necessary.

DESCRIPTION: Length 1.60 mm. Apterous. Body reddish brown with abdomen darker, legs yellowish and palpi yellow in male, uniformly yellowish brown with palpi yellow in female.
Head slightly longer (0.285-0. 300 mm) than wide (0.275 mm), frontal rostrum 0.175 mm wide and 0.075 mm long. Apical segment of maxillary palpi 0.200- 0.210 mm long and 0.075 mm wide.
Pronotum slightly longer (0.340 mm) than wide (0.325 mm) in male, as wide as long (0.340 mm) in female, with lateral antebasal foveae in shallow impressions.
Elytra wider (0.575-0. 600 mm) than long (0.450-0.460 mm) with humeri not protruding. Discal fovea joined to discal stria, latter reaching more than elytral midlength.
Abdomen with first tergite 0. 200 mm long, basal impression extending on more than 1/3 of tergal width.
 Male: Occipital region of head more convex than in female, eyes large (18 facets), antennae (Fig. 9) 1 mm long, club 0.390 mm long; scape and antennomeres II-V distinctly longer than wide; VI slightly longer than wide, VII longer and wider than VI and distinctly longer than wide, VIII strongly transverse. Posterior margin of mesotrochanters extended into small median spines, mesotibiae and metatibiae each with small apical spurs. Aedeagus as in Figs 21-22, 0.240 mm long.
 Female: Eyes poorly developed (8 facets); antennae (Fig. 10) 1 mm long with club 0.390 mm long, similar to that of male.
 COMMENTS: Based on external features (especially the antennal shape and the male secondary sexual characters) Tychus sellarius sp. n. resembles species of the Tychus lederi group (Sabella & Kurbatov, 2002). It is however unique by the peculiar shape of the dorsal apophysis of the aedeagal median lobe, with mesal margin prolonged to form two long spine-like processes extended medially. As we hold the assignment of T. sellarius sp. n. to this group as questionable, we prefer to leave it incerta sedis.

How Digital Television is Colonizing Indonesia

Telecommunication

description: Indonesian broadcasters are less than enthused about switching from an analog signal to digital terrestrial television (DTT). The nation’s telecommunications industry appears mostly indifferent, consumers are reluctant to spend money on the necessary new equipment, and electronics producers are pessimistic about the new market. Despite the fact that few stakeholders are in support of this transition, the Indonesian government is moving forward on DTT. Why could this be?
      Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world, with more than 16,000 islands and a diverse geography that complicates the implementation of new broadcast and telecommunications infrastructure. By taking it as a case study, this project explains why, despite broad national ambivalence, high costs, and uncertain benefits, a developing country might still find itself accepting an externally imposed standard.
      Primary research questions include: What incentivizes nations to accept new technological standards when domestic enthusiasm is sparse? How do foreign interests and a fear of isolation from an “inevitable” global technofuture reshape civic priorities? Which segments of society are legitimized in this process, and which are ignored?
      The processes at play are nuanced. Building on the scholarship of Grewal (2008), this dissertation contends that Indonesia’s decision to transition to DTT is understood as neither entirely voluntary nor entirely coerced. Rather, it is the result of a complex web of power plays and rhetorical frames. International bodies seek to impose a universal broadcast standard even in countries where it is counterproductive as certain domestic corporations attempt to influence the process in order to maintain and consolidate their dominance. At the same time, prevailing narratives of “necessity” and “inevitability” obscure policy choices better suited to the Indonesian situation, and hide the reality that DTT is not only a technological issue, but a social one as well.
Generalized Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem on bosonic symmetry protected topological phases

description: We propose and prove a family of generalized Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) theorems for symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases on boson/spin models in any dimensions. The "conventional" LSM theorem, applicable to e.g. any translation invariant system with an odd number of spin-1/2 particles per unit cell, forbids a symmetric short-range-entangled ground state in such a system. Here we focus on systems with no LSM anomaly, where global/crystalline symmetries and fractional spins within the unit cell ensure that any symmetric SRE ground state must be a nontrivial SPT phase with anomalous boundary excitations. Depending on models, they can be either strong or "higher-order" crystalline SPT phases, characterized by nontrivial surface/hinge/corner states. Furthermore, given the symmetry group and the spatial assignment of fractional spins, we are able to determine all possible SPT phases for a symmetric ground state, using the real space construction for SPT phases based on the spectral sequence of cohomology theory. We provide examples in one, two and three spatial dimensions, and discuss possible physical realization of these SPT phases based on condensation of topological excitations in fractionalized phases.

description: We proceed to a systematic exploration of the low temperature dependence of the London penetration depth of isotropic superconductors within strong coupling theory in the clean limit. For a sizeable range of parameters, we find that strong coupling effects can reasonably simulate a power law dependence, sometimes with an excellent precision. In such cases it would be quite difficult to distinguish experimentally between a pure power law and the strong coupling result. Physically we have been able to ascribe this temperature dependence to low frequency phonons which produce a quasi elastic scattering for electrons. The presence of these low frequency phonons requires rather wide phonon spectra and their effectiveness in scattering implies fairly strong coupling.

description: People perform gestures both while communicating with others and while thinking to themselves. Gestures that people perform for themselves when they are alone can reveal a great deal about what they are thinking, and are also believed to improve comprehension and memory. Previous research has demonstrated that people gesture when information can be mapped directly to a spatial representation; for example, on tests of spatial thinking. What is not as widely researched is whether or not people will gesture for information that is not inherently spatial. Further, will people gesture for information that is not spatial or relational? And if individuals do gesture for these other types of stimuli, what types of gestures will they perform, and will gesturing improve memory?
      	This work provides evidence that people do gesture, even when the information is not inherently spatial or relational. For information that is not spatial but related, people perform representational gestures; for example, creating an ordered list with their hands to represent preference of movie genres. For information that is non-relational, people use considerably fewer representational gestures, but can be observed using beat gestures, which are believed to help in keeping track of information. These studies did not provide strong evidence to support the claim that gestures help people understand and remember information, as gesture was only beneficial for one type of stimuli (mechanical systems). However, future research with more sensitive measures has the potential reveal this phenomenon.

description: We give an explicit construction of the factorizing twists for the Yangian Y(sl_2) in evaluation representations (not necessarily finite-dimensional). The result is a universal expression for the factorizing twist that holds in all these representations. The method is general enough to recover the universal R-matrix of Y(sl_2) up to its character in the form specialized to generic evaluation representations. The method presented here is particularly amenable to generalizations because it involves only elementary operations applied to representations of the Yangian.

description: Alberta's regulatory process for coal mine reclamation utilizes a cooperative approach. The value of this approach will increase through the 1990s as demand for public participation increases. The Alberta Government Development and Reclamation Review Committee, the County of Parkland, and TransAlta Utilities Corporation cooperated to ensure that a useful lake and surrounding landscape would be constructed to replace two lakes that had to be drained in advance of mining at the Whitewood Mine. The goal of the reclamation process is to achieve sustainable development. This ensures that present day use of resources does not compromise future land use. The replacement lake occupies 18.5 hectares within a reclaimed area of 126 hectares. The lake and adjacent land will be exchanged with the Alberta Government for the land under the two drained lakes, as well as an additional quarter section of land required by TransAlta for future mining. The overall exchange will be for equivalent land areas. Through numerous meetings of the three principals, the lake site was designated to have the potential for development as a put-and-take fishery, wildlife habitat area, day-use recreation area, and parkland area. Special features incorporated in the lake design were a picnic area, campsite, boat launch and beach. The design process was started in 1982, construction was carried out in 1987/88, and the area surrounding the lake was revegetated in 1988/89. Monitoring of lake development and revegetation is ongoing.

description: Enormous racial wealth and health disparities persist throughout the United States. There is evidence that health outcomes are a result of historical and contemporary forms of institutional racism (e.g., Roberts, 2012), but they are often framed as a result of individual behaviors in mainstream discourse (Fitzpatrick & Tinning, 2014b). Health education is one tool that can play a role in alleviating health disparities among adolescents, but traditional health and educational research tends to frame entire groups of young people as a monolith, categorized by their racial background, their family’s income, and/or their sexual orientation. This framing positions youth who are placed in these categories as “at-risk,” further pathologizing marginalized groups instead of attending to the role of the social structures that have created these disparities. Combining postmodern tenets and critical race feminist theory (Evans-Winters & Esposito, 2010), this study employed a culture-centered approach (Dutta, 2007, 2010) to disrupt this framework by presenting the socio-historical context of health inequities, and by exploring the voices of youth who happen to belong to communities that are typically pathologized in the literature (Dagkas, 2014). I conducted one-on-one interviews with 24 individuals who attend or attended public schools in New York City, and 2 students who attended parochial schools, in order to understand how individuals imagine health in the context of our social categorizations. Student-participants in this study shared stories with common themes, including the performativity of health (Webb & Quennerstedt, 2010), low school investment in health education, discourses of fear, risk, and shame in health class, and desires for openness and honesty from caring adults. Student-participants also shared unique or uncommon responses, including their ideas about health as an internal process, and the barriers that American cultural norms place on both individual and collective well-being. Additionally, some contradictions arose in the interview texts: between the importance of reaching out to community and focusing on oneself, and between students’ desires for structural versus individual changes in their imagination for a healthy life. This study showed how challenging deficit lenses and consulting youth about their understandings and imaginations can shape health education research, policy, and programming.

description: Accurate satellite pose estimation is crucial for autonomous guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems in in-orbit servicing (IOS) missions. This paper explores the impact of different tasks within a multi-task learning (MTL) framework for satellite pose estimation using monocular images. By integrating tasks such as direct pose estimation, keypoint prediction, object localization, and segmentation into a single network, the study aims to evaluate the reciprocal influence between tasks by testing different multi-task configurations thanks to the modularity of the convolutional neural network (CNN) used in this work. The trends of mutual bias between the analyzed tasks are found by employing different weighting strategies to further test the robustness of the findings. A synthetic dataset was developed to train and test the MTL network. Results indicate that direct pose estimation and heatmap-based pose estimation positively influence each other in general, while both the bounding box and segmentation tasks do not provide significant contributions and tend to degrade the overall estimation accuracy.

The result is based on the study of families of simple coverings of elliptic curves of degree 2 or 3 and on the study of the corresponding period mappings associated with holomorphic differentials with trace 0. In particular we prove the unirationality of the Hurwitz space H_{3,A}(Y) which parameterizes simply branched triple coverings of an elliptic curve Y with determinants of the Tschirnhausen modules isomorphic to A^{-1}.

How Does Learning Agile Business Leadership Differ? Exploring a Revised Model of the Construct of Learning Agility in Relation to Executive Performance

description: Learning agility is a recent topic that has garnered a lot of attention, but empirically remains only partially understood. This is of particular concern, given that it is likely becoming ever-more important in today's dynamic world. Learning agile leaders are able to draw from a variety of past circumstances to perform successfully in novel situations. They know what to do when they don't know what to do, and they understand that not taking risks is risky.
      A revised theoretical model of the construct is presented in this body of work, with Model I and Model II theories-of-action supplanting "openness to experience" as a critical antecedent. Items related to defensive reactions as consequential outcomes were created and evaluated both in terms of their reliability and predictive criterion validity.
      Using performance assessment grades previously shown to predict executive performance as a proxy criterion, a concurrent criterion validity study was conducted for both this newly proposed antecedent, and for the LAAI itself. Results indicated a moderately positive relationship for both measures and a suitable level of inter-factor and inter-item reliability, giving evidence to both the establishment of a revised theoretical model of learning agility which accounts for defensive reactions resulting from one's theory-of-action, as well as providing the field with another substantiation of the LAAI as a valid and reliable measure of the construct of learning agility.
      Finally, a predictive criterion validity study of the revised learning agility model with the Model I v. Model II theory-of-action antecedent was conducted using the same executive performance assessment grades as the criterion proxy, and results indicated that this new model was indeed a better predictor of the criterion than the LAAI alone, providing further evidence of the role of defensive reactions in a revised learning agility theoretical model. Implications, including a broader interpretation of the value that learning agility may provide to solving the more profound problems faced by our world in the 21st century beyond executive performance, are discussed.

description: Autonomous Rendezvous and Docking (RVD) have been extensively studied in recent years, addressing the stringent requirements of spacecraft dynamics variations and the limitations of GNC systems. This paper presents an innovative approach employing Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) trained through Reinforcement Learning (RL) for autonomous spacecraft guidance and control during the final phase of the rendezvous maneuver. The proposed strategy is easily implementable onboard and offers fast adaptability and robustness to disturbances by learning control policies from experience rather than relying on predefined models. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations within a relevant environment are conducted in 6DoF settings to validate our approach, along with hardware tests that demonstrate deployment feasibility. Our findings highlight the efficacy of RL in assuring the adaptability and efficiency of spacecraft RVD, offering insights into future mission expectations.

description: We consider theoretically phase locking in a simple two-dimensional Josephson junction array consisting of two loops coupled via a joint line transverse to the bias current. Ring inductances are supposed to be small, and special emphasis is taken on the influence of external flux. Is is shown, that in the stable oscillation regime both cells oscillate with a phase shift equal to $π$ (i.e. anti-phase). This result may explain the low radiation output obtained so far in two-dimensional Josephson junction arrays experimentally.

How Much Do We Practice?: Defining a Course of Study for the Applied Pianist

description: Histories of higher education isolate the conservatory/music school from their purview by omission, while histories of music education and individual music schools give overviews but do not address in depth the traditions, development, effects, and tensions buried within courses of study and the particular needs of the music student. That consideration is the purpose of this study. Toward the end of the nineteenth century, professional music education emerged as independent schools, or schools and departments within university settings. As the university accepted and acknowledged a broad and diverse range of fields of study, it developed new areas of specialization in its curricula. Concurrently, `art' music as a cultural pastime was finding its place in the American social consciousness and inviting, as a consequence, a means of education directed to this pursuit. Encouraged by European immigrants who themselves were musicians, or those for whom art music was a cultural tradition, and also by responsible philanthropy of new wealth acquired from the Industrial Revolution, America began to embrace the currents and interests of its immigrant population. In so doing it created a need for teachers of music, for improved instruments and organizations to engage in music-making, and for performers to provide entertainment. The recognition of professional education in new university institutions made it an opportune time for music to establish itself as a viable part of American higher education. Music schools proliferated, standards notwithstanding with regard to courses of study, faculty, and student requirements. Gradually, however, America pooled its resources and called upon its own ingenuity to clarify the ideology of the professional musician and to define how the training and education for that ideology might be accomplished. By the twentieth century America could offer professional study for the applied musician on a par with its European counterparts. This thesis considers the environments of three prominent music schools founded in the 1920s, the Eastman School of Music, The Juilliard School, and The Curtis Institute of Music. It reviews the administration, faculty, and the evolution of their curricula for the applied major from their inception to 1945, and observes how each defined and clarified its course of study. Thus it serves as a foundation for understanding the trajectory that brought these schools to their present place of recognition. In so doing it offers one perspective of professional education, that of training and educating for performance, and contributes to the narrative of the history of higher education.

description: We construct a new class of quasi-exactly solvable many-body Hamiltonians in arbitrary dimensions, whose ground states can have any correlations we choose. Some of the known correlations in one dimension and some recent novel correlations in two and higher dimensions are reproduced as special cases. As specific interesting examples, we also write down some new models in two and higher dimensions with novel correlations.

How Higher Education Compliance Officers Learn to Manage New Requirements in a Dynamic Regulatory Environment

description: As modern gender movements shift our cultural norms, the literature describing Title IX suggests possibly concerning trends in both hiring and policy. Many university administrations and recent legislation have promoted a defensive, legal-minded and objective approach to handling Title IX cases. Since the April 2011 Dear Colleague Letter, which delivered a mandated timeframe and eased the burden of evidence, the number of cases the Office for Civil Rights have grown significantly. The number of cases continues growing despite huge increases in labor hours and financial resources being diverted to Title IX enforcement. In contrast, research has demonstrated that education, such as bystander training is a proven deterrence to campus sexual assault. By prioritizing investigation and limiting compliance officers legally acceptable options, we have perhaps shifted officers time away from actions which might lead to more positive outcomes including reducing the overall campus-wide criminal incidence frequency.
      This qualitative case study was designed to explore how higher education compliance officers learn to manage new requirements in a dynamic regulatory environment. The site for the study included private and public colleges and universities in the northeastern part of the U.S. The primary sources of data were in-depth interviews with nineteen Title IX compliance officers supplemented by an extensive review of relevant documents.
      Key findings that emerged include: (1) A majority of compliance officers defined the need to interpret new regulations with general counsel before communicating resulting changes to stakeholders. (2) All regulators learn through informal learning means; dialogue and critical reflection were universally reported as the most frequent pathways by which regulators made meaning of new regulations. (3) Most compliance officers described sharing information with peers as most helpful to them in completing regulatory tasks.
      Trends in Title IX compliance hiring and labor hour allocation appear to not address the growing frequency of OCR investigations. Real changes to campus policy, including budget priorities, training and the use of student activists may allow universities to better optimize the money and personal they invest toward Title IX.
How Low-income Status Interacts With New Mothers’ Awareness and Usage of the New Jersey Paid Family Leave Policy

description: New Jersey is one of only three states in the United States offering a paid maternity leave benefit beyond temporary disability insurance at the present time. Understanding the impact of state maternity leave policies on low-income mothers is of particular urgency, since previous research suggests this group is less likely to utilize paid leave than wealthier women. In addition, existing literature also suggests that in a poverty environment, with its already existing vulnerability to social, emotional, cognitive, and health impairments, rapid return to work postpartum may be particularly damaging to the physical and emotional health of both mothers and their babies. This study examines the effectiveness of the New Jersey law mandating payments to postpartum mothers who were employed before giving birth. Using a mixed methods approach, outcomes from high- and low-income mothers were compared regarding the usage and impact of Family Leave Insurance (FLI), New Jersey’s paid family leave policy. For the quantitative study, data from 497 postpartum mothers from the Center for Disease Control’s 2012 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) data set were analyzed. For the qualitative study, three high- and three low-income mothers from the same New Jersey county were interviewed in depth, and six narrative profiles were constructed. Data from the qualitative and quantitative analyses were combined. Consistent with existing literature, quantitative results suggested poor FLI utilization. However, there was no significant association (p > .05) between low-income status (household income under $22,000) and FLI usage. A statistically significant (p < .05) association between FLI usage and postpartum depression in low-income mothers was noted. Qualitative findings supplemented and explained the quantitative results. The qualitative data suggested policy underutilization stemmed from poor public awareness due to inadequate publicity, lack of community education, and poor advisement on the part of human resource personnel and New Jersey Department of Labor of Workforce Development call-in center advisors. Results also suggest that if parameters of FLI and the awareness of the policy remain the same, the benefits existing research associates with paid maternity leave will not be fully reaped by New Jersey families.

description: In this paper we explicitly calculate the analogue of the 't Hooft SU(2) Yang--Mills instantons on Gibbons--Hawking multi-centered gravitational instantons which come in two parallel families: the multi-Eguchi--Hanson, or A_k ALE gravitational instantons and the multi-Taub--NUT, or A_k ALF gravitational instantons. We calculate their action and find the reducible ones. Following Kronheimer we also exploit the U(1) invariance of our solutions and study the corresponding explicit singular SU(2) magnetic monopole solutions on Euclidean three-space.
