Exploring Relations between Maternal Racial Stress and Infant Temperament and Reactivity in Black Families
Creators: name: Dedra L. Ming
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Black American mothers experience disheartening disparities in infant outcomes, with higher rates of infant mortality, greater incidence of preterm delivery, and higher rates of low birth-weight infants, all of which constitute early developmental risk factors. Studies have demonstrated that maternal stress predicts low birth-weight infants, behavioral issues, and negative reactivity and negative temperament in infant outcomes. With this in mind, I examined the experiences of Black mothers, exploring racial stress during pregnancy and its relation with infant outcomes, specifically infant negative temperament and negative reactivity. I analyzed data obtained from the Brain and Early Experiences (BEE) study and did not find significant relations, as the Black participant sample size was insufficient to establish significant findings. While the original research question remains unanswered, this project highlights a broader problem with disproportionate attrition rates among Black participants and underrepresentation of Black Americans in psychological research.
Surfing for punks: the internet and the punk subculture
Creators: name: Furgason, Aaron Robert
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: This study examines the influence of the Internet on the punk subculture in New Jersey. Previous research by academics on the effect of the Internet on popular music has centered on the impact of Napster and peer-to-peer networks on the distribution of recordings (Alexander, 2002; Ayres & Williams, 2004; Bishop, 2004; Daniel & Klimis, 1999; Fox, 2004; Mardesich, 1999; & Oberholzer & Strumpf, 2004). However, unexamined is the influence of the Internet on a specific music subculture, punk. This is important because the subculture is occupied mainly by youth engaged with both the Internet and punk music. The Internet's influence on the punk subculture is a particularly important area of study because the Internet alters how participants in the subculture (punk fans, bands and independent labels) communicate with one another, as well as changes the distribution of punk artifacts and information. Central to this study is the history of the major labels' dominance over the distribution and promotion of punk music, a domination examined via critical political economy theory. The Internet may offer a new outlet that removes the stranglehold of the major label system over punk. Focus group research with punk members and interviews with punk label personnel and band members suggest that the Internet has made it easier and faster for punk fans, bands, and labels to communicate with one another. However, most of the online communication between punk fans, bands and labels now takes place on social networking sites (MySpace.com), where the central method of communication is one-to-many, instead of one-to-one. Recently, major labels have increasingly made both distribution and promotional deals with MySpace.com (and other social networking sites). These deals offer major label content prominent placement on social networking sites at the expense of independent label recordings. Ultimately, tours by punk bands will continue to play an important role in the promotion and marketing of punk music, as well as offer subculture members the authentic punk experience. Initially, the independent labels utilized the Internet to promote recordings more than major labels, but recently, major labels have begun to embrace the Internet to promote new recordings.
Digging Up Memory: Using Seamus Heaney's Poetry to Understand Celtic Tiger Fiction
Creators: name: Claire Shu
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Using Seamus Heaney's writing on the bog, this paper explores the regional impact of Ireland's landscape on the literature of the Celtic Tiger period. From 1995 to the late 2000s, Ireland experienced a period of industrialization and construction, known as the Celtic Tiger era, which altered the relationship between nature and rural inhabitants. History emerged from the ground as the island's bog preserved memory within layers of land. Heaney's metaphor of the bog as a landscape of memory informs a later reckoning with the changing landscape as industrialization shifts the ground beneath Ireland's inhabitants. The paper examines three novels published between 1995 and 2005, analyzing the influence of the bog on the Irish psyche.
Local Authorities or Cities? Perspectives from the Council of Europe
Creators: name: Salati, Chiara
Publisher: name: Eurac Research

description: When looking at the local level of democracy we may find ourselves lost among the variety of terms for the same basic unit of government which is the closest to citizens. From, ‘local governments’, ‘local self-government’, ‘local autonomy’, ‘local authorities’, ‘local entities’, ‘local governance’ to ‘local self-determination’ as well as ‘municipal government’, ‘municipalities’, or even ‘cities’. These are used in addition to terms such as ‘territorial autonomies’, ‘subnational authorities’, ‘subnational entities’, ‘regional and local authorities’, which refer indistinctly to the two regional and local dimensions together, or to the regional dimension without real importance and recognition given to the local one which is considered as included within it.

The influence of urban planning on temple design in West Greece
Creators: name: Grupico, Theresa Marie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: This dissertation addresses the questions of whether, and to what extent, West Greek urban planning influenced the design of Archaic and Classical Greek temples. The dissertation examines non-peripteral temples and sacred edifices as well as peripteral temples in both extra-urban and urban sanctuaries at nine of the most well excavated sites, and makes reference to additional buildings and sites.The dissertation is divided into two parts. Part 1, including Chapters 1 and 2, examines the locations and layouts of sanctuaries with respect to urban layouts. Chapter 1 concludes that temples and sanctuaries were strategically positioned to fulfill the needs of urban planning. Chapter 2 concludes that urban grids encouraged the regularization of sanctuary layouts and influenced the orientations and typologies of temples. The chapter additionally finds that the horizontal and vertical lines of the peristyle and Doric frieze echoed the lines of the urban grid and reinforced the visual association between temples and grids.Part 2, including Chapters 3 and 4, examines correlations between specific design elements of temple ground plans and urban grids. Chapter 3 examines the dimensional and proportional correlations between ground plans and grids, and concludes that temple widths and/or lengths were generally coordinated with a grid's lot width, block width, or overall module (block width plus street width). In the case of peripteral temples, the result was that the ground plan components of peristyle, stylobate, and stereobate were proportionate to each other as well as to the grid. Chapter 4 examines the method of division of grids and of peripteral temple ground plan lengths. The chapter concludes that urban grids were modularly divided according to a general rule (1: 1/2: 1/4: 1/8) or variation of this rule, and proposes that West Greek peripteral temples were similarly divided. The chapter finds that the same rule was adopted in the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, considered the canon of Classical temple architecture.The dissertation concludes that West Greek temples were coordinated with urban grids for aesthetic and theoretical as well as pragmatic reasons, and that West Greek urban planning fostered the Greek ideal of symmetria, 'commensurability of parts.'

description: With the advent of new technology, internet platforms, websites, audiences, and tools, more options are being presented for ways that we go about forming new social relationships, particularly when moving to a new place. City-data.com is a web-based “city database” that both houses information on cities in the United States, and provides a platform for users to create forums asking their own questions. Through analysis of user interactions in six online forums for those seeking out sites for new social connections in preparation for or following a move, this thesis analyzes common strategies users are considering for connecting with people in a new city and forms a broader analysis on the implications for these strategies on our social world(s).
Evaluation of the ecological value of constructed intertidal oyster reefs and aquaculture structures in Delaware Bay
Creators: name: Taylor, Jaclyn C.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: The Cape Shore on the New Jersey side of Delaware Bay USA is an extensive high-energy polyhaline intertidal zone that consistently receives the highest oyster (Crassostrea virginica) settlement in the Bay. Intertidal oyster reefs in lower Delaware Bay are ephemeral, and it is generally assumed that oyster mortality due to predation, disease and winter ice scouring inhibit their persistence. If protected, however, oysters survive and grow well; hence, oyster aquaculture is developing at the site. In June 2006, shell-bag oyster reefs of varying height were constructed on the intertidal sand flats in lower Delaware Bay to determine the potential for oyster reef restoration in this temperate estuary. Oysters survived a heavy formation of ice during winter 2007, but shifting sediments nearly buried the shortest reef by April 2007, a process that may be important in limiting the development of oyster reefs in this system.In May 2007, six 2-layer shell-bag reefs were constructed. These constructed reefs as well as rack and bag oyster culture systems provided semi-permanent structures that form potential habitats for motile fauna on the sand flats of the Cape Shore. To assess the habitat potential of these structures, constructed reefs, aquaculture racks and adjacent sand flats were monitored for utilization by motile macrofauna using wire mesh traps, crab pots and eel traps from May through October 2007. Species richness for aquaculture racks (25 species) and shell-bag reefs (22 species) were comparable and significantly greater than on the sand flats (17 species). Seven species were unique to aquaculture racks. Species abundance was five times greater around aquaculture racks and three times greater around shell-bag reefs compared to sand flats. Intertidal oyster reefs and aquaculture structures increased habitat complexity, attracted similar assemblages of motile macrofauna and supported an increased species abundance, biomass and species richness compared to sand flats. Based on these metrics, oyster aquaculture rack and bag structures are comparable habitat to intertidal oyster reef habitat in Delaware Bay.
THE ROLE OF HOUSING COSTS IN FAMILY FORMATION: AN INSTRUMENTAL VARIABLE APPROACH
Creators: name: Gullett, Elijah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: This senior undergraduate thesis explores the relationship between the United States’ rising housing costs and declining fertility rates. To establish a causal relationship between housing costs and fertility, this analysis utilizes an instrumental variable (IV) regression design, using the variation in land-use regulations at the local level as an instrument for home value and rent. This thesis relies on metropolitan statistical area (MSA)-level data from the United States Census and the Wharton Residential Land Use Index (Gyourko, Hartley, & Krimmel, 2019). This analysis finds that the increase in housing costs, through increases in home values and increases in monthly contract rent, results in a statistically significant reduction in the number of children in the household. A $500 increase in rent is associated with a 0.1165 decrease in the number of children in the household. A $1,000 increase in home value is associated with a -.000317 decrease in the number of children in the household.

description: Strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the oxide interface $\mathrm{LaAlO_{3}/SrTiO_{3}}$ underlies a variety of exotic physics, but its nature is still under debate. We derive an effective Hamiltonian for the 2DEG at the oxide interface $\mathrm{LaAlO_{3}/SrTiO_{3}}$ and find a different anisotropic Rashba SOC for the $d_{xz}$ and $d_{yz}$ orbitals. This anisotropic Rashba SOC leads to anisotropic static spin susceptibilities and also distinctive behavior of the spin Hall conductivity. These unique spin responses may be used to determine the nature of the Rashba SOC experimentally and shed light on the orbital origin of the 2DEG.

Effects of urbanization on the distribution and reproductive performance of the American oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus palliatus) in coastal New Jersey
Creators: name: Virzi, Thomas
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: Urbanization and associated human disturbance can affect American oystercatcher reproductive performance in direct and indirect ways. Nest success rates could be directly affected if human disturbance disrupts normal breeding behavior or leads to increased predation rates. Indirectly, reproductive performance could be reduced if distributional patterns are altered due to coastal development or disturbance on breeding grounds. This dissertation examines the influences that urbanization and human disturbance have on American oystercatcher reproductive rates and distribution in highly urbanized coastal ecosystems in New Jersey.Human-induced effects on oystercatcher daily nest survival rates and overall reproductive performance were analyzed across a mosaic of habitats (Chapter 1). My results showed that the principal factor negatively influencing daily survival rates of both clutches and broods was the presence of mammalian predators, not human disturbance. The nest success rate on predator-free islands (21%) was an order of magnitude greater than the rate reported on barrier islands (2%), which have high densities of predatory mammals. Thus, the direct effect of human disturbance on reproductive performance was trumped by the effect of mammalian predators. The effect of urbanization and human disturbance on the local distribution of American oystercatchers was analyzed using species distribution modeling techniques including maximum entropy (MAXENT) modeling and classification and regression tree (CART) modeling. First, the distribution of oystercatchers in response to urbanization was analyzed using MAXENT (Chapter 2). This modeling technique provided a map of predicted habitat suitability that was used to locate oystercatcher populations. The results of validation surveys showed that the New Jersey oystercatcher population utilized alternative breeding habitats in very high concentrations. Next, the habitat suitability model was used as the starting point to develop CART models analyzing the effect of human disturbance on the local distribution on barrier beaches (Chapter 3). These models showed that high levels of human disturbance further influenced local oystercatcher distribution in New Jersey.My dissertation shows that urbanization and associated human disturbance affect the distributional patterns of the American oystercatcher. Thus, these factors indirectly affected reproductive performance by leading to the exclusion of oystercatchers from the most highly suitable breeding habitat.
Autism awareness versus autism acceptance: Shifting the autism research agenda
Creators: name: Black, Miranda
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Despite the wealth of information scientists have discovered through autism research over the years, their work consistently excludes the perspectives of those whom it affects most. This study aimed to analyze and critique existing autism research in order to promote autism acceptance and explore the ways in which autistic people can be understood beyond a medical diagnosis. The literature review broadly examined underlying messages in autism research, identified the ways that a medical approach to autism affects autistic people, and proposed how these concepts might perpetuate stigma around autism. Based on suggestions from members of the autistic community, as well as findings related to harmful effects of stigma on autistic people, the study concluded that there is a need to shift the autism research agenda. Researchers can support the autistic community by integrating autistic perspectives into their work and using the social model of disability to guide future research.

Direct Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy of Extracellular Vesicles in Three Dimensions
Creators: name: Chambers, Meredith
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Extracellular vesicles (EV)s are released by all cell types and play an important role in cell signaling and homeostasis. They have also been shown to be important in tumor metastasis and the pathogenesis of many evolutionarily distinct viruses, such as HIV and herpes. Therefore, their visualization and characterization have become a necessary area of research. The visualization of EVs often requires indirect methods due to their small diameter (40-250 nm), which is beneath the diffraction limit of conventional light microscopy. To evaluate the efficacy of super-resolution microscopy, notably direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM), in visualizing and characterizing EVs, we used multiple visualization techniques, including fluorescence microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis. We have shown that super-resolution microscopy can accurately resolve the three-dimensional shape of EVs to within +/-16 nm resolution on the XY-axis and +/-38 nm resolution along the Z-axis and accurately visualize EV surface proteins, such as tetraspanins CD81 and CD9. Further, we have found that our super-resolution microscopy-based protocol maintains the physiological nature of EVs, as size and shape measurements via dSTORM are consistent with other methods of EV characterization. As viruses have been shown to incorporate mRNAs or proteins into EVs, dSTORM visualization of EVs and their associated proteins can be explored as a platform for disease biomarkers and progression for certain viruses.

description: Applying supersymmetric localization for superstring worldsheet theory with N=(1,1) supersymmetries on a cylinder and with arbitrary boundary interactions, we find the most general formula for the Ramond-Ramond (RR) coupling of D-branes. We allow all massive excitations of open superstrings, and find that only a finite number of them can contribute to the formula. The formula is written by Quillen's superconnection which includes higher form gauge fields, and the resultant general Chern-Simons terms are consistent with RR charge quantization. Applying the formula to boundary string field theory of a BPS D9-brane or a D9-antiD9 brane system, we find that any D9-brane creation via massive mode condensation is impossible.

Structural studies of type III secretion systems by electron microscopy and co-evolutionary analysis
Creators: name: Matthews-Palmer, Teige Rowan Seal
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: The Type III secretion system is a widespread bacterial secreting machine that drives assembly of important motility and virulence structures, with a large human impact on agricultural and human diseases. A conserved core module common to flagella and injectisomes, the type III secretion system uses both a proton motive force (PMF) and energy of ATP hydrolysis to unfold and secrete protein substrates that refold in self-assembling structures like a molecular 3D printer. The mechanism of secretion, and the co-operating roles of the PMF and an associated ATPase are not well understood. This thesis presents three complementary structural biology approaches to advance our understanding of how T3SSs operate. In Chapter 2, the first cryo- EM structure of the major component protein of the type III secretion system is resolved to 3.5Å. The structure of an SsaVc nonameric ring resembles that of the homologous MxiAc nonamer, and a comparison of homologue structures shows a highly conserved D3 domain which forms the subunit interfaces, and variable opening of the large cleft between D2 and D4. The unique acidic C-terminus of SsaV is disordered in our map, and the linker and transmembrane regions that are involved in energising secretion are not resolved. In Chapter 3, the assembly and structure of the ATPase complex is investigated by comparing mutant complexes in situ with tomography. We find that FliH functions as a structural scaffold for the ATPase and can assemble independently to FliY on the C-ring. We find evidence for overlapping functional roles of the ATPase and the substrate chaperones, as well as heavy binding of the C-ring in the absence of FliH; the top candidate identity for the C-ring binding factor is the initial isoprenoid pathway enzyme DXP. In Chapter 4, computational predictions are made for the protein folds of the inner membrane export apparatus proteins. A recent breakthrough in the field allows assessment of some of the predicted folds against experimental structures, confirming some of our predictions of the pore structure. The picture of type III secretion that emerges is one where the ATPase complex is stably-assembled and is dispensable for secretion, as are chaperones, but together contribute assistance to an essential PMF-driven step of substrate processing that occurs at the SctV nonameric cytoplasmic ring.
Decay Estimates for Spectral Gap Eigenstates of the Haldane-Lieb Hamiltonian

Year: 2022

description: We analytically derive the exponential decay properties of bound gap states for the Haldane-Lieb topological lattice model. By means of a radial ansatz, we explore the asymptotic behavior of linear eigenstates using classical shooting methods and power series expansions. Moreover, we apply resolvent decay estimate methods to the nonlinear Haldane-Lieb operator in order to derive exponential-type L2 bounds on nonlinear eigenstates. Finally, we numerically confirm the qualitative features of the radial ansatz using a self-consistent iteration method, justifying the use of model linear systems for studying the decay properties of the nonlinear Haldane-Lieb system.

description: No campo da preservação de papel, um dos desafios dos profissionais é a conservação-restauração de manuscritos com tintas metaloácidas. A degradação da tinta pode causar manchas e corrosão do papel levando à perda de suporte e informações. A partir da avaliação dos manuscritos do acervo da Câmara dos Deputados foi realizado o estudo sobre os tratamentos existentes e foi definido o banho de fitato de cálcio para a estabilização dos processos de degradação causado pelas tintas metaloácidas. O foco principal do trabalho é a preservação do suporte e da informação, então buscou-se uma metodologia menos agressiva para o tratamento. Percebida a fragilidade destes manuscritos optou-se pelo tratamento na mesa de sucção, ao invés do convencional banho por imersão, o que permitiria o contato dos documentos com os produtos utilizados no banho sem que estes se fragilizassem ainda mais com o excesso de movimentação. Dessa forma, todas as etapas úmidas são realizadas de forma planificada, com umidade reduzida, conferindo maior estabilidade à documentação já fragilizada. Os produtos utilizados para neutralização do processo de corrosão pela tinta e desacidificação do papel dos documentos são: água deionizada, fitato de cálcio e bicarbonato de cálcio. Após alguns testes chegou-se a uma metodologia de tratamento eficaz, o que pode ser comprovado pelos testes de batofenantrolina e pH, em que ambos mostram resultados satisfatórios.

Dynamic analysis for concurrent modern C/C++ applications
Creators: name: Lidbury, Christopher David
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Concurrent programs are executed by multiple threads that run simultaneously. While this allows programs to run more efficiently by utilising multiple processors, it brings with it numerous complications. For example, a program may behave unpredictably or erroneously when multiple threads modify the same memory location in an uncoordinated manner. Issues such as this are difficult to avoid, and when introduced, can break the program in unpredictable ways. Programmers will therefore often turn towards automated tools to aide in the detection of concurrency bugs. The work presented in this thesis aims to provide methods to aid in the creation of tools for the purpose of finding and explaining concurrency bugs. In particular, the following studies have been conducted: Dynamic Race Detection for C/C++11 With the introduction of a weak memory model in C++, many tools that provide dynamic race detection have become outdated, and are unable to adequately identify data races. This work updates an existing data race detection algorithm such that it can identify data races according to this new definition. A method for allowing programs to explore many of the weak behaviours that this new memory model permits is also provided. Record and Replay Much work has gone into record and replay, however, most of this work is focussed on whole system replay, whereby a tool will aim to record as much of the program execution as possible. Contrasting this, the work presented here aims to record as little as possible. This sparse approach has many interesting implications: some programs that were previously out of reach for record and reply become tractable, and vice versa. To back this up, controlled scheduling is introduced that is capable of applying different scheduling strategies, which combined with the record and replay is beneficial for helping to root out bugs. Tool Support Both of the above techniques have been implemented in a tool, tsan11rec, that builds on the tsan dynamic race detection tool. A large experimental evaluation is presented investigating the effectiveness of the enhanced data race detection algorithm when applied to the Firefox and Chromium web browsers, and of the novel approach to record and replay when applied to a diverse set of concurrent applications.
The transport, transformation, and trophic transfer of bioactive metals in an urban impacted buoyant river plume

Year: 2008

description: At the mouth of the Hudson River estuary, one of the most urbanized and pollution impacted estuaries in North America, estuarine water forms a buoyant plumewhich transports nutrients and contaminants into the Mid-Atlantic Bight. As part of the LaGrangian Transport and Transformation Experiment (LaTTE), the transport,transformation, and zooplankton bioaccumulation of contaminant and terrestrial metals (Ag, Al, Cd, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Pb, Zn) in the plume were examined in May 2004, April 2005, and May 2006. In order to determine the low level concentrations of dissolved metals in plume waters, an improved method for determining metals in seawater by online column preconcentration, isotope dilution HR-ICP-MS was developed. Within theplume, metal concentrations generally decreased as plume waters were diluted with low metal shelf water. Within the plume, particle sinking was an important loss mechanism for metals. The formation of a narrow coastal current resulted in rapid down shelf (southward) transport of plume constituents, while the formation of a large recirculating eddy delayed down shelf transport, resulted in increased particle sinking, and may result in cross shelf (eastward) transport if shifting winds advect plume waters offshore. Resultssuggest that while plume particulate matter was composed of a mixture of biogenic and terrigenous material, metals were primarily (54-100%) associated with terrigenous particles. Hg in the plume was largely associated with particulate matter (median 61%)and dissolved Hg had similar concentrations as those in North Atlantic surface waters. Water-particle distribution coefficients (KD) for Hg were relatively constant in 2004 and 2005, but decreased within the plume within the phytoplankton bloom at mid salinity in2006, suggesting that plume phytoplankton may release Hg binding ligands in response to metal stress. With the exception of Cd, metals in plume copepods were elevated relative to oceanic copepods. Modeling results show that trophic transfer was animportant bioaccumulation pathway for Cd, Cu, and Zn, while the importance of this pathway for Ag was less clear. Comparison with toxicity data suggests that plume zooplankton may experience sub-lethal toxic effects from Ag and Zn, however future work will be required to confirm or refute this hypothesis.

title: Depreciation: A Threshold Concept in Accounting Education
Creators: name: Casson, Ashley
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2018

description: This dissertation sets out to discover what makes depreciation such a troublesome concept for accounting students. Depreciation has been identified as a threshold concept (Land, et al., 2005; Meyer & Land, 2005) because of its troublesome nature. It requires students to view business activity in an unfamiliar way by matching costs to the revenue they generate. Its integrative nature connects depreciation to other key accounting concepts such as prudence, accruals and going concern, truly demonstrating accounting’s subjectivity which when grasped should prove transformational to students. The main issue of troublesomeness is that depreciation is a term used in everyday parlance as assets fall in value as an effect of wear and tear, obsolescence, etc. This definition will be referred to as the naïve view. The accounting discipline’s definition, or the expert view, is much different as depreciation is the ‘systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life ’, thereby apportioning the cost of the asset over multiple accounting periods. In order to examine depreciation in detail, the entire first year cohort of accounting students within a UK university were asked to explain depreciation in a short, written exercise. The data was coded against expert propositions to see if the students’ understanding was from a naïve or expert perspective. Perkins’ (1999 and 2006) work identifying five types of troublesome knowledge was then used as a framework for analysing the students’ work in more detail. It was found that the vast majority of students understood depreciation from a naïve view. They displayed ritualised knowledge and had memorised depreciation formulas but were generally unable to display conceptual knowledge. Students seem to hold an absolutist view of accounting and do not recognise that there is subjectivity within the discipline. This dissertation adds to the existing literature by examining a large cohort of accounting majors (not non-specialists) and using Perkins’ framework, thus examining depreciation in greater detail than seen to date. This has led to a reflection of how teaching can be improved in this area.
