description: Peer instruction is an active learning method which was primarily invented by Eric Mazur for the needs of university level physics. The effectiveness of this method stands primarily on the group discussion that was raised by the conceptual question of the so-called ConcepTest. In this paper we will introduce peer instruction and then we will see how to implement this strategy in the teaching of elementary level mathematics using the Pythagorean Theorem. The following text will be also supplemented by examples of specific ConcepTests and it will be accompanied by statements of pupils about peer instruction.

description: This paper will outline a new STEM Education Resource (SER) which was initially targeted for use
with year 9 and 10 students. The SER aims to ‘inspire’ learning by developing students’ independence
and their capacity to plan and conduct real life investigations. The challenge is to ensure that there
is adequate focus on ‘M’ in a STEM investigation and this is going to be evidenced through students’
analysis, interpretation and presentation of evidence to support conclusions. The design of the
resource can prompt teachers to consider ways to develop the investigative skills of their students,
thus there is the potential to ‘inspire’ teachers to reflect on their teaching through use of the resource.

description: Clinically used heart valve prostheses, despite their progress, are still associated with limitations. Biodegradable poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) nanofiber scaffolds, as a matrix, were seeded with human endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs) and human induced-pluripotent stem cells-derived MSCs (iMSCs) for the generation of tissue-engineered heart valves. Cell adhesion, proliferation, and distribution, as well as the effects of coating PCL nanofibers, were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy and SEM. Mechanical properties of seeded PCL scaffolds were investigated under uniaxial loading. iPSCs were used to differentiate into iMSCs via mesoderm. The obtained iMSCs exhibited a comparable phenotype and surface marker expression to adult human MSCs and were capable of multilineage differentiation. EFCFs and MSCs showed good adhesion and distribution on PCL fibers, forming a closed cell cover. Coating of the fibers resulted in an increased cell number only at an early time point; from day 7 of colonization, there was no difference between cell numbers on coated and uncoated PCL fibers. The mechanical properties of PCL scaffolds under uniaxial loading were compared with native porcine pulmonary valve leaflets. The Young’s modulus and mean elongation at Fmax of unseeded PCL scaffolds were comparable to those of native leaflets (p = ns.). Colonization of PCL scaffolds with human ECFCs or iMSCs did not alter these properties (p = ns.). However, the native heart valves exhibited a maximum tensile stress at a force of 1.2 ± 0.5 N, whereas it was lower in the unseeded PCL scaffolds (0.6 ± 0.0 N, p < 0.05). A closed cell layer on PCL tissues did not change the values of Fmax (ECFCs: 0.6 ± 0.1 N; iMSCs: 0.7 ± 0.1 N). Here, a successful two-phase protocol, based on the timed use of differentiation factors for efficient differentiation of human iPSCs into iMSCs, was developed. Furthermore, we demonstrated the successful colonization of a biodegradable PCL nanofiber matrix with human ECFCs and iMSCs suitable for the generation of tissue-engineered heart valves. A closed cell cover was already evident after 14 days for ECFCs and 21 days for MSCs. The PCL tissue did not show major mechanical differences compared to native heart valves, which was not altered by short-term surface colonization with human cells in the absence of an extracellular matrix.

description: Britain's historic landscape provides a remarkably detailed record of past human endeavour over many millennia that has created the networks of fields, settlements, communication systems, and patterns of land use and resource exploitation that make up the countryside and townscapes of today. Local and regional variation in the character of this landscape also forms an important part of our modern sense of place and community: the compact, nucleated villages of the Northamptonshire, for example, are very different from the scattered farmsteads and hamlets of Devon. Between 1993 and 2004 the North Somerset Levels Project (NSLP) set out to explore how such local and regional variation in landscape character came into being, with a time frame extending from the late Iron Age through to the 19th century. A series of nested study areas are focused on some one hundred square kilometres of reclaimed marshland beside the Severn Estuary in south-west England. This study shows both how the origins and development of an individual landscape can only be understood in its wider context, and equally how the study of individual landscapes can be used to address issues of far wider significance. A highly interdisciplinary approach is adopted, with archaeological, palaeoenvironmental, documentary and field- and place-name evidence being integrated within the context of an analysis of the historic landscape as it survived into the 19th century. Various techniques of survey and excavation are in turn used to test hypotheses derived from historic landscape analysis, leading to a series of maps reconstructing how the landscape changed over the 1st and 2nd millennia AD.

description: This paper proposes a Mobile Augmented Reality application to engage students in STEM education. With a design research methodology, the SolarSystemGO game, initially designed to promote learning about our Solar System, is being developed by undergraduate higher education students supervised by higher education teachers from a Portuguese polytechnic. After several cycles of implementation of the game (design research cycles), which took place over two academic years, we argue that the SolarSystemGO game can be a resource to develop mathematical contents in formal and informal learning environments. Based on our research and experience in the field, we sustain the importance of developing Mobile Augmented Reality games that engage students and motivate them to learn interdisciplinary subject matters adequate to primary school syllabus.

A feasibility study to scale-up the production of Sporosarcina pasteurii, using industrial-grade reagents, for cost-effective in-situ biocementation
Creators: name: Omoregie, Armstrong Ighodalo
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Biocementation is a technology that uses bioaugmentation or biostimulatation of microorganisms (i.e. Sporosarcina pasteurii) as biocatalyst to stimulate insoluble calcium carbonate precipitates for improved soil strengthening and solidification. Biocementation serves as an alternative to current chemical methods (i.e. Portland cement and asphalt) due to its less carbon footprints risk and energy consumption. Since current soil biocement implementation for field-scale or commercial application is very costly, this thesis therefore investigated an innovative approach to reduce its bacterial cell production and treatment costs by exploring the use of food-grade yeast extract, low-grade chemicals and a custom-built stainless still reactor (3000 L capacity).

description: Alarming differences exist in cancer outcomes for people most impacted by persistent and widening health and social inequities. People who are socially disadvantaged often have higher cancer-related mortality and are diagnosed with advanced cancers more often than other people. Such outcomes are linked to the compounding effects of stigma, discrimination, and other barriers, which create persistent inequities in access to care at all points in the cancer trajectory, preventing timely diagnosis and treatment, and further widening the health equity gap. In this commentary, we discuss how growing evidence suggests that people who are considered marginalized are not well-served by the cancer care sector and how the design and structure of services can often impose profound barriers to populations considered socially disadvantaged. We highlight equity-oriented healthcare as one strategy that can begin to address inequities in health outcomes and access to care by taking action to transform organizational cultures and approaches to the design and delivery of cancer services.

description: Ambient air pollution causes a considerable disease burden, particularly in South Asia. The objective of the study is to test the feasibility of applying the environmental burden of disease method at state level in India and to quantify a first set of disease burden estimates due to ambient air pollution in Kerala. Particulate Matter (PM) was used as an indicator for ambient air pollution. The disease burden was quantified in Years of Life Lost (YLL) for the population (30 + years) living in urban areas of Kerala. Scenario analyses were performed to account for uncertainties in the input parameters. 6108 (confidence interval (95% CI): 4150-7791) of 81,636 total natural deaths can be attributed to PM, resulting in 96,359 (95% CI: 65,479-122,917) YLLs due to premature mortality (base case scenario, average for 2008-2011). Depending on the underlying assumptions the results vary between 69,582 and 377,195 YLLs. Around half of the total burden is related to cardiovascular deaths. Scenario analyses show that a decrease of 10% in PM concentrations would save 15,904 (95% CI: 11,090-19,806) life years. The results can be used to raise awareness about air quality standards at a local level and to support decision-making processes aiming at cleaner and healthier environments.

Iron Age and Roman riverside settlements at Farmoor, Oxfordshire

description: [SP 4507]. Extensive excavations coupled with intensive biological analysis of all types have provided new evidence for the changing settlement patterns and land use of Iron Age and Roman settlements on the first gravel terrace and flood plain of the Thames Valley. After early Iron Age pits on the terrace, a complete break in pottery fabric and settlement pattern marked the middle Iron Age when three enclosed farmsteads were built on the floodplain and used a purely pastoral economy with flood-enriched grassland; biological evidence demonstrated the short life of each farmstead, not over five years, as well as the seasonality of occupation. In the 2nd century RB occupation the gravel terrace was enclosed to form a ?hedged field system, though pastoralism still dominated the economy and a scythe-blade suggests haymaking. Corn was probably brought in (corndrier) and box-hedged gardens were evident. In the medieval period open arable farming was practised and the floodplain retained for meadow.

description: Several sites in Melbourne Street were excavated to reveal pits, a well, two graves and traces of buildings of 8th and 9th centuries. Detailed treatment is given to the animal bones, the pottery, the glass, and the coins, as well as to the Saxon name for the settlement. Pottery was locally made and also imported, mostly from N France. The glass forms a large and important collection crucial to our knowledge of glass in this formerly barren period in Britain. The occupation was mainly domestic and the animal bones indicate efficient animal husbandry in the region as well as a thriving agriculture; molluscs, especially oysters, were also eaten. However, the trading profits may have been taken out of the country as the finds do not indicate the wealth that might have been expected.

description: Describes the results of the Urban Hinterlands Project, undertaken by the universities of York and Leicester in 1997--98. Describes how archaeology can contribute to the study of the relationship between town and country, as well as setting out a series of recommendations for future research. The principal focus is how urban needs impacted on rural systems, and how settlement hierarchies were developed. Theoretical models are reviewed, and the history of the English town traced from its Late Iron Age origins down to the late medieval period. Emphasis is given to the contribution that archaeological finds, such as animal bone and pottery, can make to the study of the networks of economic and social dependencies that characterise urban society. Includes separately authored reports on:
Perceptions and Experiences in Elijah Muhammad's Economic Program: Voices from the Pioneers
Creators: name: Muhammad, Nafeesa
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: During Elijah Muhammad?s tenure as leader of the Nation of Islam, he launched an economic program that sought to empower black people in America. This study examines the perceptions and experiences of five individuals who were directly involved in Muhammad?s economic program using a phenomenological approach. The findings of this study revealed that this program helped them develop an identity, provided a way out of economic oppression, improved their work ethic, made them economically self-sufficient, and the pioneers believe that this program has current applications.
Voices of the Earth: A Phenomenological Study of Women in the Nation of Gods and Earths
Creators: name: Keiler-Bradshaw, Ahmon
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2010

description: Historically, Black women have often been excluded from the discussion on leadership. This thesis argues that the leadership roles of the women in the Nation of Gods and Earths are consis-tent with the concepts of both Africana womanism and Black women?s leadership. However, through an analysis of Earth?s oral testimonies, this research concludes that though racism is the most pervading obstacle faced by Black people, The Nation of Gods and Earths must address and reevaluate the sexism that exists within its doctrine and practice. By doing so, the group can be-gin to recognize Black women?s leadership and utilize it more effectively. The Nation should collectively transform its gender inequality, in a way that does not compromise its culture, as a means of successfully sustaining and strengthening itself and the communities of which it serves.
Impact Repertory Theatre as a Tool of Empowerment: Black Youth Describe their Experiences and Perceptions

Year: 2010

description: This qualitative phenomenological study explores the role of Theatre as a tool of empowerment for Black youth. This study involves IMPACT Repertory Theatre of Harlem (IMPACT), a Theatre group that consists of Black youth between the ages of 12-19. Observations, focus-group interviews and audiovisual material were used to explore Black youth's experiences with and perceptions of Theatre via IMPACT. The existing literature surrounding the topic of Theatre for youth empowerment contains the following gaps: they do not give a voice to the youth in question, they are seldom conducted in the U.S. and they do not specifically focus on Black youth. Analysis included categorizing the data and then putting it into themes. In the study?s findings, participants reveal that Theatre via IMPACT offers a source of family like support, a safe space and opportunities for self discovery and transformation.

description: Practical ideas for, and rationale of, teaching archaeology in schools. M Corbishley (pp 3-8) shows how the public's perception of archaeology must influence the way we teach it, while Peter Clarke (9-12) stresses the basic skills (weighing evidence, understanding materials, etc) which archaeology can impart. Two papers on making videos follow: Peter Stone & Peter Phillips (13-16), and Marion Blockley (17-23). A computer package, the Sandwell Adventure, is described by David Breedon (24-5): the child has to make 'excavation' decisions, exercising spatial abilities and logic. Site visits to the Sandwell Valley (Michael A Hodder, 26-7) provide a variety of educational experiences. Homeric drama workshops provided an opportunity to teach archaeological method and experimental work (eg spinning), as Rayna Andrew (28-32) explains. More experimental work (pottery firing) is described by John Steane from his Lyveden work (33-7) which involved junior boys under VIth form leadership. Warwickshire archaeology provided the inspiration for Christina Parker's paper-based Roman package (38-40) and Gilles Crawford's package of models based on Neo to AS mortuary practices (41-4). Long-term activities on the Lunt Roman site are outlined by Margaret Rylatt (45-7), while the newer Crickley Hill Bus exhibition (Marjorie Imlah, 48) has been inspiring many school projects in Gloucestershire and beyond. Finally, John Steane (49-50) describes the activities of the CBA Schools Committee.

description: African-Americans have been portrayed in stereotypical entertainment roles since their arrival into American society. Before film and television were developed, minstrel and side-shows were the source of entertainment at African-American?s expense. Minstrel shows were performed by White individuals dressed to impersonate Blacks and behaved in a White inter-pretation of Black behavior (Pieterse, 1992, pg. 134). African American women in particular were portrayed in three primary stereotypical ways: the Mammy, the Jezebel, and the Sap-phire. This research examines the relationship between the stereotypes and these historical typecasts of African-American women are relevant to Black director Tyler Perry?s popular character Mabel Simmons, better known as ?Madea?.

description: Fatalities and serious injuries still represent a significant portion of run-off-the-road (ROR) collisions on highways in North America. In order to address this issue and design safer and more forgiving roadside areas, more empirical evidence is required to understand the association between roadside elements and safety. The inability to gather that evidence has been attributed in many cases to limitations in data collection and data fusion capabilities. To help overcome such issues, this paper proposes using LiDAR datasets to extract the information required to analyze factors contributing to the severity of ROR collisions on a localized collision level. Specifically, the paper proposes a new method for extracting pole-like objects and tree canopies. Information about other roadside assets, including signposts, alignment attributes, and side slopes is also extracted from the LiDAR scans in a fully automated manner. The extracted information is then attached to individual collisions to perform a localized assessment. Logistic regression is then used to explore links between the extracted features and the severity of fixed-object collisions. The analysis is conducted on 80 km of roads from 10 different highways in Alberta, Canada. The results show that roadside attributes vary significantly for the different collisions along the 80 km analyzed, indicating the importance of utilizing LiDAR to extract such features on a disaggregate collision level. The regression results show that the steepness of side slopes and the offset of roadside objects had the most significant impacts on the severity of fixed-object collisions.

description: Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005 and drastically altered the city of New Orleans causing the most damage to minority and low socioeconomic status communities such as the Lower Ninth Ward.ÿ Prior to Hurricane Katrina, African American women in the New Orleans constituted the group most marginalized in society. Following Hurricane Katrina, several studies have explored Hurricane Katrina and disaster recovery in New Orleans. However, few studies have explored gender as it relates to natural disasters and recovery. Therefore, this study explores the experiences of African American women with disaster recovery in the Lower Ninth Ward.

An Exploratory Study: Perceptions of Power Dynamics and Sexual Decision-Making among College-Age African American Women
Creators: name: Oliver, LaTisha
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: This qualitative grounded study explores power dynamics and its influence on sexual decision-making amongst college-age African American women. The film All of Us was shown to eighteen African American women to understand how they perceive power dynamics and sexual decision-making. Taking place at Georgia State University?s main campus in Atlanta, focus groups and one on one interviews were implemented. Much of the research being conducted theorize that the risk factors regarding HIV infection are related to risky sexual decision-making and lack of consistent condom use; however this study concluded that there is a relationship between sexual decision-making and gendered power dynamics.
