title: Learning Through Vicarious Participation in Online Language Tutorials
Creators: name: Pleines, Christine
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: Online environments offer opportunities for interaction and collaboration, which are especially pertinent to distance language learners who have little face-to-face contact with their tutors or peers (Felix, 2005; Levy and Stockwell, 2006; Hampel, 2006, 2014; Balaman and Sert, 2017; Sun, 2018). Although a distinction is usually made between synchronous and asynchronous tools, all online communication can be recorded and subsequently accessed by learners in their own time. Drawing on the concept of vicarious learning (Bandura, 1965, 1971a, 1971b, 1986; Ohta, 2001; Lee, 2005; Mayes, 2015) and taking account of the roles of input and interaction for language development (Long, 1996; Gass, 1997, 2003; Lantolf and Thorne, 2006; Ellis, 2015), the present enquiry examines how distance students work with recordings of live online language tutorials and explores perceived benefits for language learning and motivation. The research is based on a sociocognitive perspective (Batstone, 2010) and an embedded mixed methods research design (Ivankova and Cresswell, 2009). User statistics of live attendance and recording views were analysed in relation to demographic data and assessment results of students on four Open University modules across different languages and levels (n=977). Differences in the use of recordings were identified in relation to learner age, country of residence and live attendance. A thematic analysis of 13 semi-structured interviews revealed that recordings of interactive group tutorials gave learners access to more voices and wider perspectives and allowed them to process input in their own time. Instead of seeing indirect participation as a substitute for live attendance, participants in this enquiry used recordings because they found tutorials central to their learning. The study gives prominence to the discussion of learning opportunities afforded through vicarious participation, which is relevant to educational practice in online learning settings within and outside higher education.

description: Elaborating on previous theoretical treatments of the roughening transition, we provide the exact mapping of a surface model which undergoes both roughening and preroughening onto a mixture of unit and double charges living on the square lattice. Depending on the model parameters, the preroughening transition of the surface can be either continuous or discontinuous. Using the surface temperature as a control parameter, the dual Coulomb gas accordingly undergoes two consecutive phase transitions through equilibrium phases whose dielectric behavior is analysed in terms of Monte Carlo simulation and exact finite-size calculations. Right at the preroughening point of the surface model, the charged mixture behaves like an electric insulator (provided preroughening is second-order), while showing metallic behavior below and above that temperature, at least up to the roughening temperature where the conventional metal-insulator transition occurs.

Abstract
 Disassociation of transthyretin (TTR) has been identified as a key step in the pathology of TTR amyloid cardiomyopathy, which is characterised by the presence of amyloid fibrils in cardiac tissue. Acoramidis (ATTRUBY™) is a small molecule TTR stabiliser being developed by BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. and is the first drug to demonstrate near-complete (> 90%) stabilisation of TTR. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of acoramidis leading to its first approval in the USA for the treatment of the cardiomyopathy of wild-type or variant TTR-mediated amyloidosis in adults to reduce cardiovascular death and cardiovascular-related hospitalization. In the EU, a positive opinion has been adopted for the treatment of wild-type or variant transthyretin amyloidosis in adult patients with cardiomyopathy.

description: In ultraperipheral relativistic deuteron on heavy-ion collisions, a photon emitted from the heavy nucleus may dissociate the deuterium ion. We find deuterium breakup cross sections of 1.38 barns for deuterium-gold collisions at a center of mass energy of 200 GeV per nucleon, as studied at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and 2.49 barns for deuterium-lead collisions at a center of mass energy of 6.2 TeV, as proposed for the Large Hadron Collider. This cross section includes an energy-independent 140 mb contribution from hadronic diffractive dissociation. At the LHC, the cross section is as large as that of hadronic interactions. The estimated error is 5%. Deuteron dissociation could be used as a luminosity monitor and a `tag' for moderate impact parameter collisions.

Social Media Policy Across School Districts in British Columbia

description: The resource was created because teachers today face regulation and restrictions in their use of social media. Some regulations and restrictions are self-imposed, as they seek to keep a clear boundary between their professional and private lives, while others come from provincial guidelines and school district policies regulating the use of social media. Quite often, these guidelines and policies are unclear and leave it up to teachers’ “best judgement” as to how to navigate this challenging area. In the absence of overarching policies, teachers are then open to the possibility of facing disciplinary action for using social media in a way that they may have considered acceptable while an authority deems the content or expression “inappropriate.” This resource seeks to help in addressing this challenge in the hope that both current and future teachers can avoid the pitfalls surrounding their use of social media. https://socialmediapolicy.cste.educ.ubc.ca/

description: We present an optical variability study of 44 newly identified blazar candidates behind the Magellanic Clouds, including 27 flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and 17 BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs). All objects in the sample possess high photometric accuracy and irregularly sampled optical light curves (LCs) in I filter from the long-term monitoring conducted by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment. We investigated the variability properties to look for blazar-like characteristics and to analyze the long-term behaviour. We analyzed the LCs with the Lomb-Scargle periodogram to construct power spectral densities (PSDs), found breaks for several objects, and linked them with accretion disk properties. In this way we constrained the black hole (BH) masses of 18 FSRQs to lie within the range $8.18\leq\log (M_{\rm BH}/M_\odot)\leq 10.84$, assuming a wide range of possible BH spins. By estimating the bolometric luminosities, we applied the fundamental plane of active galactic nuclei variability as an independent estimate, resulting in $8.4\leq\log (M_{\rm BH}/M_\odot)\leq 9.6$, with a mean error of 0.3. Many of the objects have very steep PSDs, with high frequency spectral index in the range $3-7$. An alternative attempt to classify the LCs was made using the Hurst exponent, $H$, and the $\mathcal{A}-\mathcal{T}$ plane. Two FSRQs and four BL Lacs yielded $H>0.5$, indicating presence of long-term memory in the underlying process governing the variability. Additionally, two FSRQs with exceptional PSDs, stand out also in the $\mathcal{A}-\mathcal{T}$ plane.

description: Atomically thin films of layered chromium triiodide (CrI$_3$) have recently been regarded as suitable candidates to a wide spectrum of technologically relevant applications, mainly owing to the opportunity they offer to achieve a reversible transition between coexisting in-plane ferro- and out-of-plane antiferro-magnetic orders. However, no routes for inducing such a transition have been designed down to the single-layer limit. Here, we address the magnetic response of monolayer CrI$_3$ to in-plane lattice deformations through a combination of isotropic Heisenberg spin Hamiltonians and first-principles calculations. Depending on the magnitude and orientation of the lattice strain exerted, we unveil a series of direction-dependent parallel-to-antiparallel spins crossovers, which yield the emergence of ferromagnetic, Néel antiferromagnetic, zigzag and stripy antiferromagnetic ground states. Additionally, we identify a critical point in the magnetic phase diagram whereby the exchange couplings vanish and the magnetism is quenched. Our work establishes guidelines for extensively tailoring the spin interactions in monolayer CrI$_3$ via strain engineering, and further expands the magnetically ordered phases which can be hosted in a two-dimensional crystal.

description: Motivated by recent developments on cold atom traps and high density QCD we consider fermionic systems composed of two particle species with different densities. We argue that a mixed phase composed of normal and superfluid components is the energetically favored ground state. We suggest how this phase separation can be used as a probe of fermion superfluidity in atomic traps.

Ο λόγος που επιλέχθηκε αυτό το σχήμα είναι επειδή έχουν παρατηρηθεί αστεροειδείς με παρόμοια μορφή τους οποίους μας ενδιαφέρει το βαρυτικό τους δυναμικό. Στην αρχή της εργασίας παρουσιάζεται ο τρόπος με τον οποίο καταλήγουμε στη σχέση υπολογισμού του δυναμικού ενός σώματος με το σχήμα των δυο κώνων σε μακρυνά σημεία από αυτό σε μορφή σειράς και για τους πρώτους μόνο όρους, καθότι δεν είναι δυνατό να υπολογιστεί πλήρως αναλυτικά. Εξηγούμε επίσης και το πως εφαρμόζουμε τη σχέση αυτή και στο επόμενο σχήμα. Στη συνέχεια βρίσκουμε μια πιο γενική σχέση -αυτή των inertial integrals που μπορεί να το υπολογίσει για οποιοδήποτε όρο της σειράς, και πάλι εφαρμόζεται και στα δυο σώματα. Ελέγχουμε επίσης τη σύγκλιση της σειράς μέσω του υπολογισμού της δύναμης που προκαλεί σε ένα σώμα κοντά σε αυτό. Έπειτα υπολογίζουμε το ολοκλήρωμα του δυναμικού εν μέρει αναλυτικά και εν μέρει αριθμητικά απαιτώντας μεγάλη ακρίβεια και έτσι έχοντας σαν αναφορά αυτές τις τιμές δυναμικού για διάφορα σημεία στον χώρο, ελέγχουμε το πραγματικό σφάλμα της προηγούμενης μεθόδου.

description: The thesis deals with the study of the gravitational potential that arises from a body with a shape of two cones that are joined at their base (bi-cone), and by extension, a body like this with truncated its vertices (bi-conical frustum). The reason for choosing this shape is because some asteroids with a similar shape have been observed and we are interested in their gravitational potential. At the beginning of the work, the method for calculating the potential of the bi-cone is presented in the form of a series and for the first few terms, as it is impossible to calculate it fully analytically. It also explains how this formula is applied to the next shape. Then a more general formula is found -that of the inertial integrals, which can be used to calculate the potential for any term in the series, and it is applied to both bodies. The convergence of the series is also checked by calculating the force it causes on a body close to it. Then the integral of the potential is calculated partially analytically and partially numerically, requiring high accuracy. Using these values of the potential for various points in space, we check the true error of the previous method. Finally, some orbits around these bodies are calculated numerically, which then are checked for their stability

description: High efficiency totem pole power factor correction (PFC) converters have attracted a significant attention in recent years. State of the art wide band gap (WBG) devices make continuous conduction mode (CCM) totem pole PFC feasible for medium to high power applications. However, higher costs and complex control are the main barriers to widespread industrial adoption of this topology. Control challenges including current spikes during zero crossings, DC component in AC mains current and AC voltage drop handling are investigated in this paper. Appropriate control measures are utilized to address these challenges. Additionally an accurate low cost DC current reduction method is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed control is verified through real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation of a 1450 W interleaved totem pole PFC converter.

title: A Case Study Of Learning, Support And Disruption For Distance Learners In Student-Led Facebook Study Groups
Creators: name: Seaward, Phillippa Jane
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: This thesis reports on a qualitative investigation of learning in student-led Facebook module study groups, used by undergraduate distance learning students at a UK university. The study investigates the following issues: reasons why learners choose to use these study groups in social media; the types of learning taking place there; the nature of support there; and types of disruption experienced and its effect on student learning. The study uses a case study design to align with a constructivist, qualitative theoretical approach. Three data collection methods of participant interviews, documentary analysis of online group dialogue, and observation were used. This foregrounds the perspective of participants in various roles in these student-led groups, to prioritise student voice. The data was analysed in a thematic analysis, to identify latent and semantic themes. Many of the theory-led findings build on existing empirical research, and the explanatory concepts of connectivism, connected learning and the ethic of care are used to interpret the findings in more depth. Principal findings suggest learner experiences in Facebook module study groups converge around five themes of activity: community and relationships; academic subject learning; learning with others online; managing own learning; and difficulties and conflict. This analysis represents a typology of student activity that extends existing published empirical work, and is using the novel research context of student-led Facebook module study groups for distance learners. Types of learning that take place in the groups include the expedient acquisition of knowledge, practice of participation, and the development of digital skills. Study groups provide important relational and community supports to learners, and valued information. While Facebook also has the potential to disrupt student learning, diverse views were usually embraced constructively as an opportunity for skill development and critical thinking.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.An American historian, Dr Carmel Finley, has described in detail how Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) was used, during the post-World War II negotiation of a US-Japan Peace Treaty, as a quasi-legal, pseudo-scientific concept to force Japanese fishermen to ‘abstain’ from fishing for halibut and salmon in waters adjacent to the coasts of North America, (while not restricting US tuna fishing close to South and Central Ameroca).1 It was said that the fish resources in that region were ‘fully utilised’, under joint governmental management, of Canadian and US fishing operations. The claim was based mainly on studies by North American scientists, particularly Milner ‘Benny’ Schaefer, who applied a logistic model to the yellowfin tuna of the Eastern Pacific and thereby launched what we now know as ‘Surplus Production’ theory. This followed in the footsteps of the Norwegian scientists Johan Hjort, Per Ottestad and Gunnar Jahn who published in 1933 their classic study of whaling

description: Recently, the use of bottom-TJ geometry in LEDs, which achieves N-polar-like alignment of polarization fields in conventional metal-polar orientations, has enabled enhancements in LED performance due to improved injection efficiency. Here, we elucidate the root causes behind the enhanced injection efficiency by employing mature laser diode structures with optimized heterojunction GaN/In$_{0.17}$Ga$_{0.83}$N/GaN TJs and UID GaN spacers to separate the optical mode from the heavily doped absorbing p-cladding regions. In such laser structures, polarization offsets at the electron blocking layer, spacer, and quantum barrier interfaces play discernable roles in carrier transport. By comparing a top-TJ structure to a bottom-TJ structure, and correlating features in the electroluminescence, capacitance-voltage, and current-voltage characteristics to unique signatures of the N- and Ga-polar polarization heterointerfaces in energy band diagram simulations, we identify that improved hole injection at low currents, and improved electron blocking at high currents, leads to higher injection efficiency and higher output power for the bottom-TJ device throughout 5 orders of current density (0.015 - 1000 A/cm$^2$). Moreover, even with the addition of a UID GaN spacer, differential resistances are state-of-the-art, below 7x10-4 $Ω$cm$^2$. These results highlight the virtues of the bottom-TJ geometry for use in high-efficiency laser diodes.

description: Genetic theory has predicted the spread of homostyly through heterostyle populations but this has not happened over the last 40 years. This thesis compares the ecology of the three primrose morphs (pin, thrum, homostyle) to determine whether ecological differences between the morphs may limit the spread of homostyles. Mean individual seed weight decreased with the number of seeds per capsule. Heterostyle seed production was pollinator limited and consequently heterostyles tended to produce larger seeds than homostyles. Seed size appeared to be more important than the phenotype (morph) of the mother in determining germination success. Larger seeds germinated better and may survive better in the soil. Survival of seedlings in experimental populations and of adults in wild populations was higher for homostyles than for heterostyles with thrums faring worst. Adult survival was dependent on the number of flowers produced in the preceding flowering season. Survival data are presented as life tables. A matrix model of population growth is presented showing that homostyles would be expected to increase relative to heterostyles on purely ecological grounds. However, a sensitivity analysis shows that the spread of homostyles may be limited by seed survival in the soil.

description: This contribution, of theoretical nature, proposes some ideas about the practical traineeship of the support teacher, as situational learning, included in a path of university specialization that aims to expand knowledge and cultural and professional skills, in an inclusive perspective, promoting generative learning through the opportunity of a fertile experience born from the virtuous interweaving between university and school. In this context, it becomes essential the competent role of the traineeship mentor in the initial training of the support teacher, inevitably influenced by the unexpected and dramatic historical event of the Covid-19 pandemic, the cause of complex problems and current socio-educational emergencies. Il ruolo del tutor di tirocinio nella formazione universitaria del docente specializzato Il presente contributo, di carattere teorico, propone alcuni spunti di riflessione in ordine al tirocinio del docente di sostegno, come apprendimento in situazione, inserito in un percorso di specializzazione universitaria che mira ad espandere conoscenze e competenze culturali e professionali, in prospettiva inclusiva, promuovendo l’apprendimento generativo tramite l’opportunità di una fertile esperienza nata dall’intreccio virtuoso tra università e scuola. In tale contesto, diventa imprescindibile il competente ruolo del tutor di tirocinio nella formazione iniziale dell’insegnante specializzato, inevitabilmente influenzata dell’imprevisto e drammatico evento storico mondiale della pandemia da Covid-19 causa scatenante di complesse problematiche e emergenze socio-educative attuali.

description: The initial training for support teachers is an essential factor in promoting the quality of inclusive processes in schools of different types and levels. The Specialization Course for Support Teacher, established by the D.M. 30.09.2011, is a training course whose effectiveness must be systematically monitored and evaluated in order to progressively increase its quality. In this sense, the paper presents the evaluation system developed and tested in the fourth edition (2018-19) course, highlighting its usefulness for the purpose of redesigning and improving it. Monitorare e valutare la formazione degli insegnanti di sostegno in una prospettiva di miglioramento La formazione iniziale degli insegnanti specializzati per le attività di sostegno didattico agli alunni con disabilità rappresenta un fattore essenziale per promuovere la qualità dei processi inclusivi nelle scuole di differente ordine e grado. I Corsi di Specializzazione per il Sostegno istituiti dal D.M. 30.09.2011 costituiscono dunque un percorso formativo di cui è necessario monitorare e valutare sistematicamente l’efficacia per incrementarne progressivamente la qualità. In questo senso il contributo presenta l’impianto valutativo elaborato e sperimentato nella quarta edizione del corso del 2018-19, evidenziandone l’utilità al fine della riprogettazione e del miglioramento del percorso.

description: Sobolev embeddings, of arbitrary order, are considered into function spaces on domains of $\mathbb R^n$ endowed with measures whose decay on balls is dominated by a power $d$ of their radius. Norms in arbitrary rearrangement-invariant spaces are contemplated. A comprehensive approach is proposed based on the reduction of the relevant $n$-dimensional embeddings to one-dimensional Hardy-type inequalities. Interestingly, the latter inequalities depend on the involved measure only through the power $d$. Our results allow for the detection of the optimal target space in Sobolev embeddings, for broad families of norms, in situations where customary techniques do not apply. In particular, new embeddings, with augmented target spaces, are deduced even for standard Sobolev spaces.

title: What Is The Experience Of Deaf Students In Secondary Mainstream Classrooms?
Creators: name: Bartlett, Robin Frederick
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: This investigation is concerned with the classroom experience of ten students of secondary age who are deaf and who are currently being educated in mainstream secondary schools in England. The study aims to elicit young peoples' views of their classroom experience and to show how their insights may be used to shape and improve the experiences of deaf children in mainstream schools. The authentic voice of the students is identified, separate from the influence of their teachers and their parents. Qualitative methodology is used to focus on the experiences of the students. Following a small pilot study, an approach to interviews was designed to encourage students to speak freely about their experiences. Students were recruited from schools across England and were interviewed in their own homes by the researcher. The recordings of these in-depth interviews were transcribed and a Grounded Theory (Strauss & Corbin, 1998) approach was employed to identify themes in the data. In the interviews, the students reflected on their interactions with their teachers, their friendships and their difficulties with communication in class. The findings show that the students do not identify themselves as being ‘deaf people’ but rather wish to be regarded as ‘normal’ people who happen to be deaf. The students provide evidence of the barriers to achieving this ‘normality’ in their classrooms. They discuss the support they are offered, the relationships with their peers and the ways in which they respond to the challenges they face. The study considers what implications their views have for the students themselves, for the adults who support their learning and for policymakers. It is suggested that both the medical ( Evans and Benefield, 2001) and social models(Shakespeare and Watson, 2010) of disability may need to be reappraised in terms of the framework they provide for guiding schools in educating their students. An alternative model, 'the risk and resilience model’, (Wong, 2003; Reiff, 2004) is examined as a model that has much to offer study in this area. It is suggested that the risk and resilience model offers a better fit in terms of describing the experiences of the students and their responses to the support provided. This model also recognises the importance of the active contribution which the students make in sustaining the teacher-student relationship and the value of seeking their views on issues that might affect them.
Model-Independent Reconstruction of the Primordial Power Spectrum from WMAP Data

description: Reconstructing the shape of the primordial power spectrum in a model independent way from cosmological data is a useful consistency check on what is usually assumed regarding early universe physics. It is also our primary window to unknown physics during the inflationary era. Using a power-law form for the primordial power spectrum $P_{in}(k)$ and constraining the scalar spectral index and its running, \cite{Peiris03} found that the first year WMAP data seem to indicate a preferred scale in $P_{in}(k)$. We use two complementary methods: the wavelet band powers method of \cite{pia1}, and the top-hat binning method of \cite{Wang99} to reconstruct $P_{in}(k)$ as a free function from CMB data alone (WMAP, CBI, and ACBAR), or from CMB data together with large scale structure data (2dFGRS and PCSZ). The shape of the reconstructed $P_{in}(k)$ is consistent with scale-invariance, although it allows some indication of a preferred scale at $k \sim 0.01$Mpc$^{-1}$. While consistent with the possible evidence for a running of the scalar spectral index found by the WMAP team, our results highlight the need of more stringent and independent constraints on cosmological parameters (the Hubble constant in particular) in order to more definitively constrain deviations of $P_{in}(k)$ from scale-invariance without making assumptions about the inflationary model.

description: The research verified the correlations between initial teachers training and access to specialization courses focusing on the performance shown by trainees. The analyses were conducted by quasi-experimental before and after design with paired data collected on a sample of 178 participants. The results show significant differences in the performance of the selective tests of the specialization courses compared to the admission certificates of trainees. These differences concern in particular high school and university graduates and tend to reduce on the average of outcoming evaluations while maintaining significant deviations. The results also highlight the effectiveness of training for inclusive education. At the same time, the need for initial academic training that can guarantee ad hoc masters courses for the development of teachers’ competencies is increasingly pressing. Formazione iniziale all’insegnamento e specializzazione sul sostegno: analisi sui titoli di accesso e i rendimenti dei corsisti La ricerca ha verificato la sussistenza di correlazioni significative tra la formazione iniziale propedeutica all’insegnamento e quindi all’accesso ai corsi di specializzazione rispetto ai rendimenti mostrati dagli specializzandi. Le analisi sono state condotte attraverso un disegno quasi-sperimentale prima-dopo con dati appaiati raccolti su un campione di 178 partecipanti. I risultati mostrano differenze significative sui rendimenti delle prove selettive dei corsi di specializzazione rispetto ai titoli di accesso degli specializzandi. Tali differenze riguardano in particolare diplomati magistrali e laureati e tendono a ridursi sulle medie delle valutazioni in uscita pur mantenendo scarti significativi. I risultati evidenziano l’efficacia della formazione sul sostegno confermata dalle ulteriori analisi. Al contempo è sempre più insistente l’esigenza di una formazione iniziale accademica che possa garantire percorsi ad hoc per lo sviluppo delle competenze degli insegnanti.

description: Teacher education is of primary importance in the creation of an equitable and inclusive school system, allowing teachers the opportunity to acquire the necessary skills to respond adequately to the different needs of all pupils. In Italy, in the context of training courses for the achievement of specialization for educational support activities for pupils with disabilities, different methods are used to evaluate the effectiveness of these courses and, in particular, the skills acquired at the end of the training. The aim of the work is to carry out a systematic review of the tools used, in Italy, to assess student skills at the end of the training course, as well as the competence profiles to which they refer. To this end, N=12 primary studies published in open access from 2011 to 2020 were taken into consideration. The descriptive summary obtained from the review can be useful for creating shared evaluation models and learning outcomes for teachers who specialize in the activities of didactic support. Valutare le competenze del docente inclusivo: revisione sistematica nei corsi di specializzazione sul sostegno in Italia La formazione degli insegnanti assume oggi una primaria importanza nella realizzazione di un sistema scolastico equo e inclusivo, consentendo ai docenti la possibilità di acquisire le necessarie competenze per rispondere in maniera congrua alle diverse esigenze di tutti gli alunni. In Italia, nell’ambito dei percorsi di formazione per il conseguimento della specializzazione per l’attività di sostegno didattico agli alunni con disabilità, differenti sono le modalità impiegate per valutare l’efficacia dei suddetti corsi e, in particolare, le competenze acquisite alla fine del percorso formativo. L’obiettivo del lavoro è dunque quello di delineare, mediante una revisione sistematica, un quadro comparativo degli strumenti utilizzati per valutare le competenze dei corsisti alla fine del percorso formativo, nonché i profili di competenza cui si riferiscono. A tal fine, sono stati presi in considerazione N=12 studi primari pubblicati in open access dal 2011 al 2020. La sintesi descrittiva ricavata dall’indagine può essere utile per realizzare modelli di valutazione e learning outcomes condivisi per i docenti che si specializzano nelle attività di sostegno didattico.
