description: Certain significant fallacies are involved in discussions of the high-Tc mechanism unsolved for over 30 years in cuprate superconductors. These fallacies are explored with the aim of unravelling this mechanism. Moreover, using polarised electronic Raman scattering in inhomogeneous underdoped cuprate superconductors, the intrinsic nonlinear Raman spectrum is obtained by subtracting the pseudogap characteristic of a nonlinear from the linear Raman spectrum measured in the B2g mode of the node area below the critical temperature. The intrinsic nonlinear behaviour implies the existence of the nodal superconducting gap denying dx2-y2-wave pairing symmetry. An origin of the nodal superconducting gap is discussed.

description: We report the Chandra/ACIS-S detection of more than 20 ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs, L_{0.5-10 keV} >~ 3 x 10^{39} ergs/sec) in the Cartwheel collisional ring galaxy system, of which over a dozen are located in the outer active star-forming ring. A remarkable hyperluminous X-ray source (HLX, L_{0.5-10 keV} >~ 10^{41} ergs/sec assuming isotropic radiation), which dominates the X-ray emission from the Cartwheel ring, is located in the same segment of the ring as most ULXs. These powerful H/ULXs appear to be coincident with giant HII region complexes, young star clusters, and radio and mid-infrared hot-spots: all strong indicators of recent massive star formation. The X-ray spectra show that H/ULXs have similar properties as those of the {\it most luminous} ULXs found in the nearest starbursts and galaxy mergers such as the Antennae galaxies and M82. The close association between the X-ray sources and the starbursting ring strongly suggests that the H/ULXs are intimately associated with the production and rapid evolution of short-lived massive stars. The observations represent the most extreme X-ray luminosities discovered to date associated with star-forming regions--rivaling the X-ray luminosities usually associated with active galactic nuclei.

description: Nuclear and neutron matters are investigated in the low density region, well below the nuclear saturation density. Microscopic calculations, based on the Bethe-Brueckner approach with a few realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials, are compared with the predictions of a set of phenomenological effective interactions, mostly employed in nuclear structure studies. An energy functional is constructed on the basis of the microscopic bulk EoS and applied to a selection of nuclei throughout the mass table. The results provide a microscopic basis for a link between nuclear surface behaviour and neutron EoS previously observed with phenomenological effective forces. Possible effects of pairing on asymmetric nuclear matter are also analyzed in detail. The results are expected to illuminate the physical mechanisms which determine the behaviour of the surface density tail in exotic nuclei.

description: The emerging interest in van der Waals heterostructures as new materials for opto-electronics and photonics poses questions about their stability and structure-property relations. In the framework of density-functional and many-body perturbation theory, we investigate the structural, electronic, and optical properties of periodic heterostructures formed by graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). To understand how the constituents affect each other depending on the layer stacking, we examine 12 commensurate arrangements. We find that interaction with graphene improves the stability of bulk h-BN also in those configurations that are predicted to be energetically metastable. In return, the interaction with h-BN can open a band gap of a few hundred meV in graphene. Its actual size can be tuned by the arrangement of the layers. In the semiconducting configurations, the character and spatial distribution of optical excitations are affected by the specific stacking, that determines the electronic states involved in the transitions. Remarkably, six out of the 12 explored heterostructures remain semi-metallic.

description: The paper introduces a model of synchronous distance learning realized within the University context during the period of the Covid-19 pandemic. On the basis of the theoretical perspective of Total PACKage (TPCAK) (Thompson & Mishra, 2007), the didactic model has been elaborated built upon the integration of course contents as well as the pedagogical principles of student-centered teaching, and the technologies that could best respond to the learning objectives so as to ensure the centrality of the learner. The aim of the study was to detect both the modality in which the theoretical perspective of TPCAK has influenced the model created, and the perceptions of a group of students on their experience of the synchronous distance learning model, collected through semi-structured interviews. The results present both the link between the TPCAK and the teaching design realized, and how the accurate integration of pedagogy, contents and technologies can be perceived by learners as an effective model for the promotion of learning. Un modello di didattica universitaria sincrona: percezioni di studenti/esse Il contributo presenta un modello di didattica a distanza sincrona realizzata in contesto universitario durante il periodo di pandemia di Covid-19. Sulla base della prospettiva teorica del Total PACKage (TPCAK) (Thompson & Mishra, 2007) è stato elaborato il modello didattico costruito sull’integrazione dei contenuti del corso, dei principi pedagogici dello student-centered teaching e delle tecnologie che potessero meglio rispondere agli obiettivi di apprendimento e assicurare la centralità di chi apprende. Lo studio ha messo in luce come la teoria del TPCAK ha informato il modello realizzato, sia le percezioni di un gruppo di studenti/esse sul modello di didattica sincrona sperimentato ai/alle quali è stata rivolta un’intervista semistrutturata. I risultati descrivono sia i legami tra TPCAK e azione didattica realizzata, sia come l’integrazione accurata tra principi pedagogici, contenuti e uso costruttivo delle tecnologie possa essere percepito un modello da chi apprende come un modello efficace per la promozione dell’apprendimento.

description: We study the quark mass expansion of the axial-vector coupling constant g_A of the nucleon. The aim is to explore the feasibility of chiral effective field theory methods for extrapolation of lattice QCD results - so far determined at relatively large quark masses corresponding to pion masses larger than 0.6 GeV - down to the physical value of the pion mass. We compare two versions of non-relativistic chiral effective field theory: One scheme restricted to pion and nucleon degrees of freedom only, and an alternative approach which incorporates explicit Delta(1230) resonance degrees of freedom. It turns out that, in order to approach the physical value of g_A in a leading-one-loop calculation, the inclusion of the explicit Delta(1230) degrees of freedom is crucial. With information on important higher order couplings constrained from analyses of inelastic pion production processes, a chiral extrapolation function for g_A is obtained, which works well from the chiral limit across the physical point into the region of present lattice data. The resulting enhancement of our extrapolation function near the physical pion mass is found to arise from an interplay between long- and short- distance physics.

description: This paper analyses training support teachers’ knowledge as described by the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge framework (TPCK) (Mishra & Koehler, 2006) based on Shulman’s PCK (1986). Technological resources offer indisputable opportunities to teachers who want to renew the contents and strategies of their teaching and provide students with active learning processes; yet they offer some reflections about the methodologies used in support teacher training considering, among the other factors, the variety of qualifications that allow access to the training course. The results obtained with a sample of 1591 teachers enrolled in the support teacher specialization course, run by the University of Palermo, as well as the reflections related the TPACK, could allow to adapt the ICT courses to the real initial skills of the students, contributing to the training of support teachers able to use digital resources in an inclusive and effective way. L’integrazione delle competenze tecnologiche, didattiche e disciplinari nella formazione iniziale dei docenti di sostegno Questo contributo focalizza l’attenzione sulle competenze dei docenti di sostegno in formazione iniziale così come vengono descritte nel framework del Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) (Mishra & Koehler, 2006), a partire dagli studi di Shulman (1986) sul PCK e intende offrire alcune riflessioni metodologiche sulla formazione dell’insegnante di sostegno considerando, tra altri fattori, l’eterogeneità dei titoli di studio che consentono l’accesso al percorso formativo. I risultati ottenuti con un campione di 1591 docenti iscritti al corso di specializzazione per il sostegno dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo e le riflessioni provenienti dal modello TPACK potrebbero consentire di adeguare i corsi relativi alle TIC alle reali competenze iniziali dei corsisti, contribuendo alla formazione di un insegnante di sostegno in grado di utilizzare in modo inclusivo ed efficace le risorse digitali.

title: Children, Adolescents, and the Child Labour Debates in Bolivia
Creators: name: Willman, Christopher
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: The debate as to whether children should be involved in work or not is contentious. Bolivia provides a unique context to study such debates. Not only does Bolivia have a high proportion of children who work, but it also has a very politically active movement of organised working children. In 2014, much to the dissatisfaction of the ILO and other actors, Bolivia became the first country to explicitly lower the legal working age to 10 years old, contravening international standards. This thesis aims to analyse child labour debates in Bolivia by including children’s and adolescents’ perspectives on work. Children’s voices are often excluded from such debates. Theoretically, this research is grounded in three main, yet interrelated bodies of literature: childhood studies, children’s citizenship and children’s rights. Childhood studies literature is frequently used when researching children who work; the concepts of children’s citizenship and children’s rights are less often applied to frame such analysis. The thesis argues that the intersection of these conceptual areas is essential to understanding children’s work and relevant debates, given the ways that children themselves currently understand and articulate their work. The thesis engages with the main actors in the Bolivian debates using a number of qualitative methods. Interviews were conducted with members of children’s organisations, the Bolivian Government, the ILO, Bolivian NGOs and other actors. A sentence completion task was also conducted with schoolchildren. Document analysis of relevant texts supplemented these methods. The thesis finds that children express a range of perspectives on working, which are important to consider in both policy and academic debates. These perspectives reveal that children articulate their positions in these debates through discourses of citizenship – specifically rights and responsibilities – as well as through their intersecting relationships with family and education. Considering these perspectives allows us to move beyond existing ‘child labour’ assumptions and debates, and actually attend to the views and aspirations of children.

For the solution of the concerned polarized transfer equation we use the comoving frame formulation, and apply the Accelerated Lambda Iteration (ALI) method. We restrict ourselves to the non-relativistic regime of velocities wherein mainly Doppler shift effects are significant. For our studies, we consider the scattering on a two-level atom, including the effects of partial frequency redistribution (PFR). We present the dependence of linearly polarized profiles on different atmospheric and atomic parameters.

description: The portfolio can be an effective device to support the professional growth of the teacher. Today there is no online portfolio with a similar rationale that can be used in the various moments of growth from initial teachers’ education to in-service training. The various experiences of the use of the portfolio proceed separately, with a certain fragmentation that makes it difficult to think in terms of lifelong learning. In this contribution, we describe the joint initiative of Indire and the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart and the University of Macerata, aimed at designing a device to encourage the reflexivity of the teachers, accompanying them throughout the phases of their career. In this paper we discuss the various models of teacher portfolios in order to begin the discussion on a model that can find continuity of experimentation and then application at the national level in the various stages of the teacher’s professional development. Un portfolio lifelong per la professionalità docente Il portfolio può costituire un dispositivo efficace per supportare la crescita professionale del docente. Oggi non esiste un portfolio online con una logica simile che possa essere utilizzato nei vari momenti della crescita dalla formazione iniziale universitaria a quella in servizio. Le varie esperienze d’ uso del portfolio per ora procedono separate, e ciò produce una certa frammentarietà che rende difficoltoso e artificioso ragionare in ottica di lifelong learning. Nel contributo descriviamo l’iniziativa congiunta di Indire e delle Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore e dell’Università di Macerata, orientata a progettare un dispositivo per favorire la riflessività del docente accompagnandolo con continuità nelle fasi della propria carriera. In questo lavoro si discutono i vari modelli di portfolio docente per avviare la discussione su un modello che possa trovare continuità di sperimentazione e poi di applicazione a livello nazionale nei vari stadi dello sviluppo professionale del docente.

description: This article describes the results of a comparative research involving 608 support teachers, 300 of whom specialized at the University of Sassari and 308 specialized at other 8 Italian universities. The survey, carried out through a questionnaire, sought to understand if and how much the university training received in ICT had an impact on DL (Distance Learning) teaching and ensured inclusive processes for pupils with SEN (Special Education Needs). What emerges from the research are both the opportunities that ICT can offer for the educational support and inclusion of children and young people with SEN, especially in emergency situations such as that of COVID-19 and, at the same time, the need for more targeted training in educational technology for all school personnel, in order to ensure educational processes that are adequate to meet both collective and individual needs.

description: Abstract

This study, titled Cultural Identity in Contemporary Meranaw Songs: A Reflection of Cultural Changes Among Meranaw Youth, examines the evolving aspects of Meranaw youth culture as depicted in their contemporary songs. The primary objective is to identify and provide a detailed interpretation of these cultural changes based on the lyrics of the songs. The specific objectives of the study are: (a) to identify the words and phrases in contemporary songs that reflect cultural changes in Meranaw society, (b) to recognize the aspects of Meranaw culture that have shifted, and (c) to explain the reasons behind the cultural changes portrayed in these songs. The study utilized a descriptive-qualitative design and analyzed the content of twenty-five (25) contemporary Meranaw songs. Three main aspects of Meranaw culture were identified as having changed: (1) the culture of clothing, grooming, and behavior, (2) the culture of courtship and marriage, and (3) moral values. The primary factors contributing to these changes include (1) family influence, (2) the influence of social media, (3) the influence of prevailing language and culture in society, (4) the impact of education, and (5) the influence of social institutions. The implications of the study include: (1) the traditionally closed Meranaw culture has become more open to changes due to interactions not only within the Philippines but also with other countries; (2) globalization has fostered an openness among Meranaw youth to new knowledge; (3) the cultural changes among Meranaw youth have made a significant contribution to economic growth; and (4) the recognition and acceptance of cultural changes by the Meranaw contribute to creative expression, which can boost tourism.
Appropriation of The Home

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: Appropriation is how residents of a home begin to incorporate their home into their own identity — and their identity into their home. This process is seen as essential for our ability to forge an emotional connection to our home and develop a sense of belonging and stability. This thesis explores how homes can be designed to foster appropriation. My research suggests that a strong sense of personality and character within the architecture of the home is essential for this process, as the home must be able to distinguish itself as a unique space within the world. The character of homes as been declining for the past century due to many factors, most importantly the commodification of the home and the resultant desire for each home to have as broad an appeal as possible. My project does not attempt to directly overturn these strongly embed forces of capital, but instead finds a way to work subversively within the existing system. Specifically, it sees residents ability to modify and physically appropriate the spaces of their home as a way to imbue them with character. My final design proposes a small apartment building that leaves room for both psychological interpretation and physical appropriation by residents. The building is designed to inspire and utilize residents own creative energy to produce architectural diversity and specificity, ultimately fostering their ability to appropriate their homes.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant challenges for the global higher education community: it has required faculty and students to respond to an unprecedented challenge and to shift suddenly from traditional face-to-face curriculum to distance learning formats through virtual classrooms. Some learning programmes, such as the TFA, had a strong theoretical-practical characterisation and were therefore delimited by regulations requiring full in-presence (F2F) and compulsory attendance. Due to the pandemic, the one-year teaching-learning programme for support teachers (TFA) followed the same path and was redesigned by universities for distance education. The re-design at the University of Macerata was based on pedagogical assumptions: technology was intended as a support to achieve learning outcomes. Our study aims to investigate perceptions of the theoretical and practical skills acquired from the F2F and the online format, considering a group of students enrolled for different school orders who followed both the current online programme and the previous years’ F2F programme. Le competenze professionali del docente in formazione: dal corso in presenza al corso online La pandemia da COVID-19 è stata una sfida per la comunità globale dell’istruzione superiore: ha richiesto a docenti e studenti di rispondere a una sfida senza precedenti, e di passare improvvisamente dal curriculum tradizionale in presenza a formati di apprendimento a distanza attraverso aule virtuali. Alcuni percorsi formativi, come il TFA, avevano una forte caratterizzazione teorico-pratica e per questo venivano regolamentati con normative che prevedevano la completa attivazione in presenza e la richiesta di una frequenza obbligatoria. A causa della pandemia, il programma di insegnamento-apprendimento annuale per gli insegnanti di sostegno (TFA) ha seguito lo stesso percorso ed è stato riprogettato dalle università per l’istruzione a distanza. La riprogettazione all’Università di Macerata si è basata su presupposti pedagogici: la tecnologia è stata intesa come supporto per raggiungere i risultati di apprendimento. La nostra indagine indaga le percezioni delle competenze teoriche e pratiche acquisite dal format in presenza e da quello online, considerando un gruppo di studenti che si è trovato nella condizione di seguire il corso attuale in online e quello degli anni precedenti in presenza.

description: In this paper, for overcoming the drawbacks of the prior approaches, such as low generality, high cost, and high overhead, we propose a Low-Cost Anti-Copying (LCAC) 2D barcode by exploiting the difference between the noise characteristics of legal and illegal channels. An embedding strategy is proposed, and for a variant of it, we also make the corresponding analysis. For accurately evaluating the performance of our approach, a theoretical model of the noise in an illegal channel is established by using a generalized Gaussian distribution. By comparing with the experimental results based on various printers, scanners, and a mobile phone, it can be found that the sample histogram and curve fitting of the theoretical model match well, so it can be concluded that the theoretical model works well. For evaluating the security of the proposed LCAC code, besides the direct-copying (DC) attack, the improved version, which is the synthesized-copying (SC) attack, is also considered in this paper. Based on the theoretical model, we build a prediction function to optimize the parameters of our approach. The parameters optimization incorporates the covertness requirement, the robustness requirement and a tradeoff between the production cost and the cost of illegally-copying attacks together. The experimental results show that the proposed LCAC code with two printers and two scanners can detect the DC attack effectively and resist the SC attack up to the access of 14 legal copies.

description: After reviewing the theory of "causal fermion systems" (CFS theory) and the "Events, Trees, and Histories Approach" to quantum theory (ETH approach), we compare some of the mathematical structures underlying these two general frameworks and discuss similarities and differences. For causal fermion systems, we introduce future algebras based on causal relations inherent to a causal fermion system. These algebras are analogous to the algebras previously introduced in the ETH approach. We then show that the spacetime points of a causal fermion system have properties similar to those of "events", as defined in the ETH approach. Our discussion is underpinned by a survey of results on causal fermion systems describing Minkowski space that show that an operator representing a spacetime point commutes with the algebra in its causal future, up to tiny corrections that depend on a regularization length.

description: Determining stellar ages is challenging, particularly for cooler main-sequence stars. Magnetic evolution offers an observational alternative for age estimation via the age-chromospheric activity (AC) relation. We evaluate the impact of metallicity on this relation using near one-solar-mass stars across a wide metallicity range. We analyze a sample of 358 solar-type stars with precise spectroscopic parameters determined through a line-by-line differential technique and with ages derived using Yonsei-Yale isochrones. We measured chromospheric activity (S-index) using high-quality HARPS spectra, calibrated to the Mount Wilson system, and converted to the $R^{\prime}_{\mathrm HK}(T_{\mathrm{eff}})$ index with a temperature-based photospheric correction. Our findings show that the AC relation for $R^{\prime}_{\mathrm HK}(T_{\mathrm{eff}})$ is strongly influenced by metallicity. We propose a new age-activity-metallicity relation for solar-type main-sequence (MS) stars ($\log{g} \gtrsim 4.2 $) with temperatures 5370 $\lesssim$ $T_{\mathrm{eff}}$ $\lesssim$ 6530 K and metallicities from -0.7 to +0.3 dex. We show that taking metallicity into account significantly enhances chromospheric ages' reliability, reducing the residuals' root mean square (RMS) relative to isochronal ages from 2.6 Gyr to 0.92 Gyr. This reflects a considerable improvement in the errors of chromospheric ages, from 53\% to 15\%. The precision level achieved in this work is also consistent with previous age-activity calibration from our group using solar twins.

description: Dirac materials, unlike the Weyl materials, have not been found in experiments to support intrinsic topological surface states, as the surface arcs in existing systems are unstable against symmetry-preserving perturbations. Utilizing the proposed glide and time-reversal symmetries, we theoretically design and experimentally verify an acoustic crystal of two frequency-isolated three-dimensional Dirac points with $Z_2$ monopole charges and four gapless helicoid surface states.

Type II See-Saw Mechanism, Deviations from Bimaximal Neutrino Mixing and Leptogenesis

description: A possible interplay of both terms in the type II see-saw formula is illustrated by presenting a novel way to generate deviations from exact bimaximal neutrino mixing. In type II see-saw mechanism with dominance of the non-canonical SU(2)_L triplet term, the conventional see-saw term can give a small contribution to the neutrino mass matrix. If the triplet term corresponds to the bimaximal mixing scheme in the normal hierarchy, the small contribution of the conventional see-saw term naturally generates non-maximal solar neutrino mixing. Atmospheric neutrino mixing is also reduced from maximal, corresponding to 1 - \sin^2 2 θ_{23} of order 0.01. Also, small but non-vanishing U_{e3} of order 0.001 is obtained. It is also possible that the Δm^2 responsible for solar neutrino oscillations is induced by the small conventional see-saw term. Larger deviations from zero U_{e3} and from maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing are then expected. This scenario links the small ratio of the solar and atmospheric Δm^2 with the deviation from maximal solar neutrino mixing. We comment on leptogenesis in this scenario and compare the contributions to the decay asymmetry of the heavy Majorana neutrinos as induced by themselves and by the triplet.

Bell nonlocality with intensity information only

description: We address the problem of detecting bipartite Bell nonlocality whenever the only experimental information are the intensities produced in each run of the experiment by an unknown number of particles. We point out that this scenario naturally occurs in Bell experiments with parametric down-conversion when the crystal is pumped by strong pulses, in Bell tests with distant sources and in which particles suffer different delays during their flight, in Bell experiments using living cells as photo detectors, and in Bell experiments where the pairing information is physically removed. We show that, although Bell nonlocality decreases as the number of particles increases, if the parties can distinguish arbitrarily small differences of intensities and the visibility is larger than $0.98$, then Bell nonlocality can still be experimentally detected with fluxes of up to $15$ particles. We show that this prediction can be tested with current equipment in a Bell experiment where pairing information is physically removed, but requires the assumption of fair sampling.

title: The Road Home: Masculinity, Vulnerability, And Violence : A Narrative Study Using Music Elicitation With Men Who Had Childhood Experience Of Domestic Violence/Abuse And On-Road/Gang-Involvement
Creators: name: Levell, Jade
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: This thesis focuses on the narratives of men who experienced domestic violence and abuse (DVA) in childhood and have been on-road and gang-involved. Narrative interviews were aided by music elicitation. Connell’s (1987, 2005) approach was used to explore the changing ways the participants’ expressed multiple and diverse masculinities. This analytic focus was supported by the application of intersectionality to focus on the impact of race, ethnicity, class on gender performance. The findings illustrated how the participants went through changing constructs of masculinity through the life-course. Initially they inhabited subordinated masculinity at home when experiencing DVA, to emerging protest masculinity on-road. At the point of recovery and desistance both marginalised masculinity and complicit masculinity were identified. The key thematic areas that emerged in the narratives were; masculinity; vulnerability; violence. These threads interlinked throughout and resulted in new understanding of how they interact. Specifically, I expanded Connell’s notion of protest masculinity, to explore how it was implicated with a shadow-self of vulnerable masculinity. I propose that they are in a symbiotic relationship, always co-existing. Violence was ever-present in the participants’ lives, through victimisation of DVA in childhood, to agentic and instrumental use of violence when on-road and gang-involved. The changing relationship to violence both caused and reflected the changes in masculinities through the life-course. I used Anderson’s (1999) ‘code of the street’ to discuss the changing roles of violence from home to on-road. Ultimately this thesis contributes to wider knowledge around gender theory, gender performance, and gender-based-violence. It also adds to an understanding of the way in which children actively, and reflexively, experience domestic violence and abuse in childhood.
