description: In today's era, the idea of conducting student exchanges and teaching practices overseas continues to grow. In this way, the cooperating countries can share their recent innovations in the field of education. The existence of language barriers, however, may hinder the learning and teaching process in the classroom. Language barriers should be overcome as the information shared between teachers and students might be misinterpreted. This research was carried out as the researcher believe that the existing language barriers could be minimised by increasing students' motivation in the classroom. The aim of this study is to integrate the use of instructional media to enhance the students' learning motivation in Thailand's municipal school. Using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, the first researcher collected the data using worksheets, still pictures, video recordings, interview guides, and field notes. Having done the data analysis, the researchers concluded that the results meet the three criteria of success, namely classroom atmosphere, students' learning motivation, and the strategy's practicality. The researchers found that the use of instructional media could enhance students' learning motivation and overcome the language barriers in the classroom.
Nodal disease burden of oral cancer in British Columbia and a novel approach for risk assessment

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: For patients of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), tumour spread to regional lymph nodes reduces survival by half. On the account of this widely demonstrated fact, prophylactic neck treatment has been advocated for clinically node negative (cN0) necks of which the risk of nodal disease is considerably high. However, there is a lack of sensitive and specific marker to determine such risk and benefits of prophylactic treatment await confirmation. The first part of this thesis presents a population-based retrospective review on OSCC in British Columbia. The incidence of regional failure (RF) in early-stage, cN0 patients was 28%, with median time of only 10 months after local excision. This group of patients needed to be identified and treated at earliest time possible. Tumour depth of invasion (DOI) was significantly associated with RF (P=0.01). However, it has low accuracy in predicting nodal disease with AUC of 63%. Moreover, assessment of performance for 4mm cut-off of DOI showed 55% sensitivity and 68% specificity. Furthermore, we demonstrated that using DOI as an indicator of neck treatment resulted in 25% under-treated occult metastasis and 55% over-treated necks. Thus, we concluded that, at least for BC population, conventional histological attributes of tumour cannot predict RF and we need a new marker for risk assessment. The second part presents a pilot study exploring a novel approach of risk assessment by utilizing Quantitative Tissue Pathology (QTP) on tumour nests. We were able to quantitate and evaluate 120 features describing nuclear phenotypes of tumour cell nuclei and tissue architectures of tumour nests. Compared to node-negative (N0) group, cell nuclei of the node positive (N+) group had higher fractions of heterochromatin regions. Also, the combination of two features, which describe chromatin condensation, from the outermost two layers of tumour nests had performance of AUC 94%, sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 75% in discriminating N0 and N+ group. QTP may be a potential proxy for predicting the metastatic risk of OSCC. Further investigation on potential biomarkers in risk assessment for nodal disease of early-stage OSCC patients is warranted to provide precision management to improve mortality and reduce morbidity.

description: Academic writing has been a principal issue in Indonesian universities since students are required to write in English effectively. University students and graduates were found to have low writing ability and do not have sufficient English writing skills. Studies in EFL writing in Indonesian universities mostly focus on the effectiveness of certain approaches by looking at the result of students’ written tests. This paper discusses current issues and research trends in EFL writing in Indonesia and offer recommendation for further research which should address students and other stakeholders which significantly influence the teaching of EFL writing in Indonesia.

description: We study theories of gravity with non-minimal coupling between polarized media with pole-dipole and quadrupole moments and an arbitrary function of the space-time curvature scalar $R$ and the squares of the Ricci and Riemann curvature tensors. We obtain the general form of the equation of motion and show that an induced quadrupole moment emerges as a result of the curvature tensor dependence of the function coupled to the matter. We derive the explicit forms of the equations of motion in the particular cases of coupling to a function of the curvature scalar alone, coupling to an arbitrary function of the square of the Riemann curvature tensor, and coupling to an arbitrary function of the Gauss-Bonnet invariant. We show that in these cases the extra force resulting from the non-minimal coupling can be expressed in terms of the induced moments.

description: ELT experts believe that the inclusion of critical thinking skills in English classes is necessary to improve students’ English competence. Students’ critical thinking skills will be optimally increased if meaning is prioritized in English lessons. Those two inter-related elements can be implemented when teachers do collaborative activities stimulating students’ thinking process and meaning negotiation. Yet, the realization might be counter-productive if they are applied without careful consideration of task purposes and of students’ roles. Based on the consideration, this paper is focused on presenting how critical thinking skills and meaning should be properly incorporated in an English lesson.

description: Reading is the main focus of tertiary English programs in Indonesia. Although there is a body of research into the development of English at tertiary level and evidence of low outcomes, there is little into the development of reading in English. This paper discusses implementation of EFL reading program in Indonesian universities and offers recommendations for further research on reading instruction and cultural contexts. Since the role of culture has rarely been elaborated in EFL reading in Indonesia, the researcher highlights current theories of EFL reading in relation to cultural conditions affecting the teaching of reading in Indonesia. This clarifies not only the constraints which may hinder the reading instruction, but also uncover potential resources and perspectives on how effective reading program should be implemented in Indonesian universities.

description: Halloysite nanoclays (HNTs) were functionalized with (3-chloropropyl) trimethoxysilan and subsequently reacted with thiosemicarbazide and furfural to furnish furfural imine functionalized HNTs, which could serve as an efficient support for immobilization of copper species. The obtained catalyst, Cu@HNTs-T-F, was fully characterized using SEM/EDX, FTIR, ICP, TGA, XRD and BET. To present a theoretical description of the experimental features of the Cu@HNTs-T-F nano catalyst, we modeled and computationally assessed two coordination modes between copper acetate and the HNTs-T-F ligand in the gas and solution phases. In this line, the mathematical properties of electron density functions were calculated and analyzed topologically via density functional theory (DFT) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) approaches. Encouraged by our computational results, the catalytic activity of this new catalyst was studied for A3 and KA2 coupling reactions of aldehydes or ketones, phenyl acetylene and amines under green, ultrasonic-assisted conditions. The results established that the catalyst could promote the reaction to furnish the corresponding propargylamine derivatives in high yields in very short reaction times. Studying the reusability of the catalyst confirmed that the catalyst could be recovered and reused up to four times with only a negligible loss of the catalytic activity, indicating the efficiency of the functionalized HNTs on anchoring the copper species. ICP-AES analysis established very low leaching of copper species upon reuse. This observation was attributed to the interactions of heteroatoms in the functionalized HNTs with copper. Moreover, the results confirmed the heterogeneous nature of the catalysis.

description: Using the Hyperz code and a template spectral library which consists of 4 observed galaxy spectra from Coleman, Wu & Weedman (CWW, 1980) and 8 spectral families built with evolutionary population synthesis models, we present photometric redshift estimates (photo-z) for a spectroscopic sample of 6,531 galaxies, and morphologies for a morphological sample of 1,502 bright galaxies. All galaxies are matched with the SDSS DR7 and GALEX DR4. The inclusion of Fuv or Nuv or both photometry decreases the number of catastrophic identifications (CIs, |z_phot -z_spec| > 1.0). If CIs are removed, the inclusion of both Fuv and Nuv photometry mainly increases the number of non-CIs in the low redshift, g-r < 0.8 and fainter r-magnitude regions. The inclusion of binary interactions (BIs) mainly increases the number of non-CIs and decreases the deviations in the 0.3 < g-r < 0.8 region in the case of only using optical photometry. The inclusion of UV photometry would decrease and increase the probability that early types are classified as Burst and E types, respectively, and increase that late types are classified as CWW-Sbc and CWW-Scd types. If CIs are excluded, the inclusion of UV data mainly raises the identifications of late types in all redshift, bluer g-r and r > 14 regions. Moreover, BIs mainly affect the determinations of E and S0 types. Nuv -u = 1.94 and 5.77-1.47(u-r) = Fuv discriminators can be used as morphology selection indicators. These two criteria have comparable reliability and completeness for selecting early- and late-type galaxies to C=2.6 criterion and higher completeness for early-type selection than u-r=2.22 criterion.

description: This paper proposes a novel framework for delay-tolerant particle filtering that is computationally efficient and has limited memory requirements. Within this framework the informativeness of a delayed (out-of-sequence) measurement (OOSM) is estimated using a lightweight procedure and uninformative measurements are immediately discarded. The framework requires the identification of a threshold that separates informative from uninformative; this threshold selection task is formulated as a constrained optimization problem, where the goal is to minimize tracking error whilst controlling the computational requirements. We develop an algorithm that provides an approximate solution for the optimization problem. Simulation experiments provide an example where the proposed framework processes less than 40% of all OOSMs with only a small reduction in tracking accuracy.

description: The Indonesian government has nationally implemented the competency–based curriculum of English subject for senior high school in Indonesia since 2004. The recent curriculum has been warmly welcomed by teachers as it is claimed that the curriculum will be more effective in enhancing the teaching learning process than the previous curricula. Some problems, however, may potentially hinder the implementation of the latest curriculum. If these problems remain unsolved, Indonesian people will end up repeating the same failure of the previous curricula: teaching learning process that is far from communicative competence. Therefore, it is recommended that the newest curriculum should be modified based on the importance of competent teachers and authentic resources, communicative situations for grammar mastery, and ongoing assessment.

description: Museum stores represent integral parts of the museums that have also a lot to benefit from a successful presence on the web arena. In addition to traditional web sites, carefully designed electronic commerce (e-commerce) sites may increase the potential of museum stores offering possibilities for on-line shopping and other commercial functions. In parallel, the recent convergence of the traditionally separate technologies of the Internet and mobile telephony has brought the concept of 'wireless Internet' into the spotlight. Within this context, 'mobile commerce' (m-commerce) is a relatively new trend that represents a natural extension of e-commerce into the wireless world. M-commerce refers to electronic business transactions and differentiates from e-commerce since it involves the use of mobile devices and wireless medium rather than wired. The unique characteristics of mobile computing bring forward new challenges and opportunities for museum stores. This article presents the design and implementation of an e-commerce and an m-commerce museum shop application. The aim is to evaluate and compare the two applications in terms of several parameters, such as available technologies, strengths and limitations, design requirements, usability, interaction speed, usage cost, etc and also to identify ways for enhancing the potential of such applications and designing successful and profitable business models.

description: We analyze the constraints placed on individual, flavor diagonal CP-violating phases in the minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) by current experimental bounds on the electric dipole moments (EDMs) of the neutron, Thallium, and Mercury atoms. We identify the four CP-violating phases that are individually highly constrained by current EDM bounds, and we explore how these phases and correlations among them are constrained by current EDM limits. We also analyze the prospective implications of the next generation of EDM experiments. We point out that all other CP-violating phases in the MSSM are not nearly as tightly constrained by limits on the size of EDMs. We emphasize that a rich set of phenomenological consequences is potentially associated with these generically large EDM-allowed phases, ranging from B physics, electroweak baryogenesis, and signals of CP-violation at the CERN Large Hadron Collider and at future linear colliders. Our numerical study takes into account the complete set of contributions from one- and two-loop EDMs of the electron and quarks, one- and two-loop Chromo-EDMs of quarks, the Weinberg 3-gluon operator, and dominant 4-fermion CP-odd operator contributions, including contributions which are both included and not included yet in the CPsuperH2.0 package. We also introduce an open-source numerical package, 2LEDM, which provides the complete set of two-loop electroweak diagrams contributing to the electric dipole moments of leptons and quarks.

description: This table summarises all the white matter hyperintensities (WMH) volume measurement methods used in different studies up to October 2014, and is referred to in the paper entitled "What are white matter hyperintensities made of? Relevance to vascular cognitive impairment" published by the Journal of the American Heart Association in June 2015, (number 6 of the volume 4), doi: 10.1161/JAHA.114.001140, PMC4599520. The publication is a commissioned Review on the nature of WMH, and the advances in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that show WMH at earlier stages and changes in normal-appearing white matter that indicate tissue pathology, less marked than those found in WMH. The abstract of the publication reads: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) of presumed vascular origin, also referred to as leukoaraiosis, are a very common finding on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) in older subjects and in patients with stroke and dementia. They are associated with cognitive impairment, triple the risk of stroke and double the risk of dementia. Knowledge of their pathology derives mostly from post mortem studies, many from some years ago. These, by their nature, were generally small, sampled from selected brain regions and probably reflect late-stage disease. They focus on features of demyelination and axonal degeneration, which may be easier to detect histopathologically than changes in extracellular fluid. Here we review advances in brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that are revealing white matter hyperintensities at earlier stages, and changes in normal-appearing white matter that indicate tissue pathology, less marked than those found in WMH. These “pre-visible” changes show that altered interstitial fluid mobility and water content, which may be reversible, probably predate demyelination and axonal damage, which are less likely to be reversible and are probably a late-stage phenomenon. Neuroimaging is also revealing the dynamic nature of WMH, their interactions with other pathological features such as secondary cortical and long tract damage, and contribution to accumulating brain damage. These insights provide opportunities to improve understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of small vessel disease, and represents an enormous unfinished agenda for preventing accumulation of brain damage, and its associated cognitive and physical problems, from mid to later life. Recognizing the earliest stages leading to WMH development will provide important opportunities to prevent (or even reverse) brain damage due to small vessel disease at the earliest stages, and ameliorate its cognitive, physical, stroke and dementia consequences.
Weaving Indigenous knowledge into the academy : promises and challenges from the perspectives of three Aboriginal post-secondary institutes in British Columbia

description: This study examines the promises and challenges of integrating Indigenous Knowledge (IK) into the academy from the perspectives of Elders, leaders, students, staff, and instructors from three Aboriginal post-secondary institutions in British Columbia. Using a case study method and an Indigenous and Western theoretical foundations, this research shares the perceived successes, limitations, and the challenges the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT), the Wilp Wilxo'oskwhl Nisga’a Institute (WWNI), and the former Cariboo Chilcotin Weekend University (CCWU) program face, or have faced, in the integration of IK. Also included in this study are perspectives from individuals from one mainstream, non-Aboriginal institution, the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC). Topics explored through the research are the following: a) challenges and benefits of integrating IK in three Aboriginal institutes and how the integration of IK at the academic level in Aboriginal institutions impacts and benefits students, staff, and the local community; b) the challenges and benefits of partnerships with mainstream institutes; and c) the formal policies and/or lack of formal policy for Aboriginal institutes. As a result of the research, emerging themes include: Elders have a core role in higher learning; the integration of IK at a post-secondary level impacts higher learning; Aboriginal post-secondary institutes have taken the lead in building partnerships with post-secondary institutes; and Aboriginal post-secondary institutes demonstrate resiliency despite systemic challenges. To represent my position as a Métis scholar I present my findings through the framework of the Métis Sash that represents through its colour and design the integration of key concepts and findings from the study.

description: This is a pre-registration of an experimental plan to examine the effect of APOE genotype on microglial-mediated synapse loss in Alzheimer's disease. There is now extensive literature covering synapse loss in AD and mouse studies have shown microglia are key players in aberrantly clearing synapses during AD. From this pilot study, we expect to establish the effect size of engulfed synaptic elements inside microglial cells, and investigate if having AD, and particularly being an APOE4 carrier, affects this process. As APOE4 carriers are more likely to develop AD and have an earlier AD onset, we postulate that microglia are activated and primed for synapse phagocytosis, with e4 individuals' microglia internalizing more synapses and amyloid beta. We also hypothesize that microglia around plaques, being more reactive, will phagocytose synapses more than microglia away from plaques.
A nonlinear scalar model of extreme mass ratio inspirals in effective field theory I. Self force through third order

description: The motion of a small compact object in a background spacetime is investigated in the context of a model nonlinear scalar field theory. This model is constructed to have a perturbative structure analogous to the General Relativistic description of extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs). We apply the effective field theory approach to this model and calculate the finite part of the self force on the small compact object through third order in the ratio of the size of the compact object to the curvature scale of the background (e.g., black hole) spacetime. We use well-known renormalization methods and demonstrate the consistency of the formalism in rendering the self force finite at higher orders within a point particle prescription for the small compact object. This nonlinear scalar model should be useful for studying various aspects of higher-order self force effects in EMRIs but within a comparatively simpler context than the full gravitational case. These aspects include developing practical schemes for higher order self force numerical computations, quantifying the effects of transient resonances on EMRI waveforms and accurately modeling the small compact object's motion for precise determinations of the parameters of detected EMRI sources.

High speed collision and reconnection of Abelian Higgs strings in the deep type-II regime

description: We study high speed collision and reconnection of cosmic strings in the type-II regime (scalar-to-gauge mass ratios larger than one) of the Abelian Higgs model. New phenomena such as multiple reconnections and clustering of small scale structure have been observed and reported in a previous paper, as well as the fact that the previously observed loop that mediates the second intercommutation is only a loop for sufficiently large beta = m_scalar^2/m_gauge^2. Here we give a more detailed account of our study, involving 3D numerical simulations with beta in the range 1 to 64, the largest value simulated to date, as well as 2D simulations of vortex-antivortex (v-av) collisions to understand the possible relation to the new 3D phenomena. Our simulations give further support to the idea that Abelian Higgs strings never pass through each other, unless this is the result of a double reconnection; and that the critical velocity (v_c) for double reconnection goes down with increasing mass ratio, but energy conservation suggests a lower bound around 0.77c. We discuss the qualitative change in the intermediate state observed for large mass ratios. We relate it to a similar change in the outcome of 2D v-av collisions in the form of radiating bound states. In the deep type-II regime the angular dependence of v_c for double reconnection does not seem to conform to semi-analytic predictions based on the Nambu-Goto approximation. We model the high angle collisions reasonably well by incorporating the effect of core interactions, and the torque they produce on the approaching strings, into the Nambu-Goto description of the collision. An interesting, counterintuitive aspect is that the effective collision angle is smaller because of the torque. Our results suggest differences in network evolution and radiation output with respect to the predictions based on Nambu-Goto or beta = 1 Abelian Higgs dynamics.

E7(7) constraints on counterterms in N=8 supergravity

description: We prove by explicit computation that 6-point matrix elements of D^4R^4 and D^6R^4 in N=8 supergravity have non-vanishing single-soft scalar limits, and therefore these operators violate the continuous E7(7) symmetry. The soft limits precisely match automorphism constraints. Together with previous results for R^4, this provides a direct proof that no E7(7)-invariant candidate counterterm exists below 7-loop order. At 7-loops, we characterize the infinite tower of independent supersymmetric operators D^4R^6, R^8, phi^2 R^8,... with n>4 fields and prove that they all violate E7(7) symmetry. This means that the 4-graviton amplitude determines whether or not the theory is finite at 7-loop order. We show that the corresponding candidate counterterm D^8R^4 has a non-linear supersymmetrization such that its single- and double-soft scalar limits are compatible with E7(7) up to and including 6-points. At loop orders 7, 8, 9 we provide an exhaustive account of all independent candidate counterterms with up to 16, 14, 12 fields, respectively, together with their potential single-soft scalar limits.

Inclusion of sdBs in evolutionary population synthesis for binary stellar populations and the application: the determinations of photo-z and galaxy morphology

description: Subdwarf B stars (sdBs) can significantly change the ultraviolet spectra of populations at age t~1Gyr, and have been even included in the volutionary population synthesis (EPS) models by Han et al. (2007). In this study we present the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of binary stellar populations (BSPs) by combining the EPS models of Han et al. (2007) and those of the Yunnan group (Zhang et al. 2004, 005), which have included various binary interactions (except sdBs) in EPS models. This set of SEDs is vailable upon request from the authors. Using this set of SEDs of BSPs we build the spectra of Burst, E, S0-Sd and Irr types of galaxies by using the package of Bruzual & Charlot (2003, BC03). Combined with the photometric data (filters and magnitudes), we obtain the photometric redshifts and morphologies of 1502 galaxies by using the Hyperz code of Bolzonella et al. (2000). This sample of galaxies is obtained by removing those objects, mismatched with the SDSS/DR7 and GALEX/DR4, from the catalogue of Fukugita et al. (2007). By comparison the results with the SDSS spectroscopic redshifts and the morphological index of Fukugita et al. (2007), we find that the photo-zs fluctuate with the SDSS spectroscopic redshifts, while the Sa-Sc galaxies in the catalogue of Fukugita et al. (2007) are classified earlier as Burst-E galaxies.

description: We study ultracold atom-ion collisions in the presence of an external magnetic field. At low collision energy the field can drastically modify the translational motion of the ion, which follows quantized cyclotron orbits. We present a rigorous theoretical approach for the calculation of quantum scattering amplitudes in these conditions. Collisions in different magnetic field regimes, identified by the size of the cyclotron radius with respect to the range of the interaction potential, are investigated. Our results are important in cases where use of a magnetic field to control the atom-ion collision dynamics is envisioned.
