description: This study explores the impact of meaning, competence, and self-determination on customer-oriented behavior (COB) among hospitality internship students in Indonesia with a particular emphasis on the mediating roles of deep acting and surface acting. The research investigates the contextual role of the sense of purpose that contributes to the relationship between surface acting and deep acting in customer-oriented behavior using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The data was collected from hospitality internship students who were engaged in internship programs at 4- and 5-star hotels in Indonesia through the implementation of an online questionnaire. The findings indicate that the variables of meaning, competence, self-determination, and impact exhibit a positive effect on deep acting, subsequently resulting in the generation of customer-oriented behavior. The study also found that surface-acting and customer-oriented behavior negatively impact these variables, except for competence. The study suggests that implementing empowerment can be used to reduce false-positive workplace attitudes and promote originality and authenticity. This framework can be used by academic institutions and the hospitality industry to prepare internship students who will succeed in their studies and contribute to the hotel where they intern. This study delves into the underexplored issue of challenges faced by hospitality internship students: managing the dual demands of delivering exceptional service expected by the industry and fulfilling academic responsibilities at university. With limited experience and compensation, interns must devise meticulous strategies. The pivotal roles of universities and hotel management are essential in assisting interns to meet academic requirements while also enhancing their contributions to the hotels where they intern.

description: Moral development is crucial for a meaningful life. Many well-founded approaches and models are present in the moral development literature, which is a very diverse and populated field. The model of a ‘person of moral growth’ presented in this paper is a contribution to moral growth research based on personalist virtue ethics. Personalist virtue ethics puts the person at the centre of the moral reflection, addressing the holistic interplay of the person’s dimensions in the process of moral growth. The model is an operationalization of the person’s dimensions for educational and research purposes in the field of moral development. In this paper, the four components of the model are presented: emotional-cognitive, decisional (free commitment to moral growth), practical (moral growth through personal action), and self-understanding (the moral growth identity), and the process of the elaboration of the model is explained. For enhancing the construct validity of the model, its components and pedagogical implications are discussed in the light of recent moral education literature. This model is a contribution to a more cogent moral education and is helping to design and deliver moral educational experiences which address personal moral development in a clear, convincing, and well-structured way.

description: The teaching profession can be challenging. It depends on each individual how they deal with challenges in the work environment, in communicating with colleagues and pupils, and how successful they are in solving various problems. In the study, we were interested in how four female visual arts teachers understand and become aware of the specifics of emotional and social skills in their own life situations through visual arts products. The research took place over three months during twelve meetings. The study revealed that visual arts teachers understand emotional and social skills as specific tools with which they recognise their emotions and needs and the ability to empathise with others. Within the visual arts solutions, teachers most often pointed to the content they associate with recognising one’s own thoughts, feelings, and values and how they influence one’s response. In the visual arts solutions, the least content was related to building and maintaining positive and stable relationships with different people and groups. This study confirms that individuals, through their activity and their own strengthening of social and emotional skills, can make a decisive contribution to the development of personal strength, an active and responsible attitude towards themselves and their lives.

description: Proficiency in speaking is essential for effective communication; however, anxiety serves as a significant barrier that negatively impacts oral performance, particularly in EFL contexts. This study addresses this issue by investigating speaking anxiety among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in Afghanistan, where limited research exists on the topic. A mixed-method design was employed, involving 120 students. Quantitative data were collected using the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), while qualitative insights were obtained through structured interviews. The results revealed a moderate level of speaking anxiety, with no significant differences based on gender, language proficiency, or academic year. Qualitative findings indicated that participants experienced anxiety, particularly during their initial year of study, exhibiting symptoms such as shaking, sweating, forgetfulness, negative thoughts, difficulties in recalling words, maintaining eye contact, and concentrating. Contributing factors included low self-confidence, fear of negative evaluation and feedback, limited exposure to authentic English, language proficiency challenges, inadequate linguistic knowledge, difficulty of adapting to a new environment, and cultural influences. To cope with anxiety, students adopted strategies such as engaging with authentic English, utilizing social media, seeking constructive feedback, practicing regularly, speaking aloud, and employing relaxation techniques. The implications of the study provide valuable insights for educators, policy makers, and curriculum designers. The findings could serve as a reference for other countries or institutions that offer EFL programs. Speaking proficiency is crucial for effective communication, but anxiety can significantly hinder performance. This study examines speaking anxiety among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in Afghanistan, as limited research was found on this aspect. The results show moderate levels of speaking anxiety, with no significant differences based on gender, proficiency, or academic year. Common symptoms include shaking, sweating, forgetfulness, and fear of judgment. Key factors contributing to anxiety include low self-confidence, fear of negative evaluation, and limited exposure to authentic English. Students used different strategies such as regular practice, using social media, and deep breathing to manage their anxiety. The study’s findings provide a good reference for educators and policymakers to support EFL learners, particularly in addressing speaking anxiety.

description: My participatory photography and video project with a First Nations teen drop in center in Northern British Columbia has revealed the benefits of viewing cameras as toys through which community-based research projects can actively engage the world rather than as tools for authoritative observers. The interactive play between the instant feed back of digital cameras placed in youths’ hands creates relationships that allow for the exploration of delicate subjects and intimate moments captured on video. The display of meanings constructed through visual images reveal powerful possibilities for visual research methodologies used in collaborative research.

description: Academic success in higher education has attracted interest from the scientific community because of its implications for personal development and societal progress. Programmes such as Tecnologico de Monterrey’s Leaders of Tomorrow aim to nurture students’ potential and promote academic success. This study examines the attributes from participating students associated with academic success. The focus is on personality and socio-demographic factors that influence academic excellence. The research contribution of this work is data analysis supported by artificial neural networks to establish the relationship between personality tests and background information with academic performance. The findings were: (a) high school GPA predicts university success; (b) first-generation degree status is associated with higher GPA; (c) gender differences in academic performance vary by context; and (d) personality profiles are not associated with academic performance. The role of socio-demographic and personality factors in predicting the academic success of prospective students is discussed. This study investigates how personality traits and socio-demographic factors influence academic success in university students. Using data from the Leaders of Tomorrow program at Tecnologico de Monterrey, the research identifies key factors contributing to academic performance. A combination of data analytics and artificial neural networks (ANNs) was applied to explore relationships between high school GPA, first-generation student status, and gender differences. The study found that high school GPA is a strong predictor of university success, while first-generation students also showed potential for higher GPAs. However, personality traits, as measured by the DISC assessment, were not significantly correlated with academic performance. These insights can guide future educational policies and strategies to support diverse student populations.

description: In recent times, many scholars have highlighted the emergence of group-based polarisation within Western societies. Research has demonstrated that this phenomenon has also reached educational settings, where groups of adolescents are opposed to each other. Surprisingly little has been written, though, on group-based polarisation in the classroom. This study examines along which lines (e.g. ethnic, socio-economic, or religious), how often and under which conditions group polarisation manifests itself in the context of secondary school classrooms. It does so by theorising this phenomenon, hypothesising its most common manifestation as well as the factors that may favour group-based polarisation. Following an exploratory sequential mixed-methods research design, consisting of a qualitative pre-study (N = 31) and an original survey that was fielded among Dutch secondary school teachers (N = 1034), it then demonstrates that: group polarisation, as perceived by teachers, is relatively rare in Dutch secondary education, generally occurring once or a few times per year; that it manifests itself predominantly along ethnic lines, and that the ethnic composition of educational contexts, tracking, and different educational stages statistically predict this form of perceived group polarisation. Based on our findings we propose that teacher training, focusing on how to cope with group-based polarisation in the classroom should be context-specific and tailor-made.

description: Integrating literature in the English language syllabus has been discussed for a long time. The purpose of the current study explores the Iraqi English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers’ perception regarding teaching literature in English textbooks in Iraq as an EFL context. To do so, 74 Iraqi EFL teachers were selected using a convenient sampling method. They were both males and females and they had different years of teaching experience ranging from 2 to 29 years old at the preparatory level at Iraqi high schools. A semi-structured interview and a questionnaire were the instruments of the study. The results demonstrated that Iraqi teachers believed that the literature spots sections of textbooks increase the linguistic development of learners through class discussion and involvement, develop cultural awareness and appreciation of cultural differences, promote personal involvement, and finally boost the individual growth of learners. Furthermore, the results reflected the positive perceptions of Iraqi language teachers toward the integration of literature in textbooks. Thus, the results of interviews indicated that a majority of Iraqi EFL teachers believed that the literature spots have been poorly compiled and both the quality and quantity of literature contents of these books are under the questions. Most teachers agreed that the literary parts needed fundamental revision if they want to achieve predetermined objectives. The findings have important teaching implications for Iraqi EFL teachers, syllabi, and curriculum designers.

Environmental and techno-economic analysis of ground source heat pump systems

description: Climate change stabilization requires an unprecedented effort to change our current approach to energy production and consumption. While rising energy prices are drawing increased attention to reducing energy demand, heightened concern about the environmental consequences of fuel choice requires that this demand be met at lower emission levels. In Canada, the realization of commitments to our GHG emission goals entails reducing residential energy use - a sector responsible for close to 20 percent of end-use energy consumption. This study focuses on the energy demand and emission levels of space and water heating, since these two components comprise 76 percent of residential energy demand. Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are a technology that provides heating at 25 to 30 percent of the energy consumed by even the most efficient conventional alternatives. GSHPs have been identified as the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective space conditioning systems available. However, their drawbacks have been high capital costs, and uncertainty about whether the electric power used by heat pumps has higher system-wide emissions. This thesis delineates how adoption of GSHPs in the residential sector can help align Canada’s technology choices with commitments made to the Kyoto Protocol. The manuscripts delineate conditions under which GSHP systems achieve the largest net emission reductions relative natural gas, heating oil, and electric heat counterparts. Electricity generation methods and emissions embodied in inter-provincial and international electricity trade are shown to significantly affect the emission savings achievable through GSHP. The thesis quantifies how relative fuel prices influence annual operating savings that determine how rapidly the technology can achieve payback. This analysis reveals GSHPs to hold significant potential for substantial GHG reductions at a cost savings relative to conventional alternatives; the time horizons for payback are as short as nine years for average-sized homes, and significantly shorter for larger homes.

description: Reintroduction of captive-bred Western Burrowing Owls (Athene cunicularia hypugaea) in the Nicola Valley, British Columbia, has had limited success in increasing the local breeding population. Traditionally, yearling captive-hatched Burrowing Owls that were paired and released into artificial burrows in the field, held overnight, and provided with supplemental food throughout the breeding season (hard release) have had high post-release dispersal and mortality. In 2005 and 2006, I used an alternative soft-release technique to test for an improvement upon the hard-release technique. The soft release followed the same procedure as the traditional hard release but also included enclosures around burrow entrances to contain the owls for a 2-week period in the field prior to release. I compared immediate post-release dispersal, seasonal survival, and reproductive success for 37 hard-released and 30 soft-released pairs. I radio-tagged 39 of these released owls in order to accurately monitor their activities, regardless of whether they remained at release sites or dispersed. The soft-release technique led to 20% more owls remaining at the release sites, 14% more owls surviving the breeding season, and 20% more owl pairs fledging juveniles. In addition to investigating adult survival and reproductive success, I examined post-fledging juvenile survival, local recruitment, and habitat use, and adult prey consumption behaviour in order to assess the potential of these aspects to limit the success of the reintroduction. Survival and local recruitment rates of the juveniles of captive-bred adults released with two different techniques were similar to that of juveniles of wild adults in the same study area or in other parts of the Burrowing Owl's range. Juvenile habitat-selection analyse sidentified the importance of rangeland, and comparisons of prey consumption revealed the rapid development of foraging abilities by captive-bred Burrowing Owls. I concluded that these aspects of the owl's ecology were not negatively affected by a captive upbringing, and therefore not likely limiting the success of the reintroduction. Overall, the use of an enclosure-based soft-release technique addresses major limitations to the success of releases, and shows promise for increasing the breeding population in this region. This approach can also be applied to recovery efforts throughout the Burrowing Owls' range, and provide guidelines for other species' reintroduction programs.

(Figure 3)
Material analyzed. Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo, N18°29’41.5’’ W69°56’59.6’’, 14.vii.2015, FL Silva, (MZSP).
Diagnostic characters. Polypedilum (Asheum) beckae can be separated from other Polypedilum species by combination of: Adult male: tergite VII not strongly tapered anteriorly, balloon shaped gonocoxite, short gonostylus and boot shaped superior volsella. Pupa: Pedes spuri A and B absent, large dark spines on conjunctive IV/ V and L setae on abdominal segment IV strongly narrowed basally. Larva: Teeth of mentum of even height, very broad ventromental plates, strongly curved lateroposteriorly (identical to P. curticaudatum).
Distribution. The species is recorded from southeastern USA—North and South Carolina (Epler, 2001), Georgia, Alabama (Hudson et al., 1990), Florida (Jacobsen, 2008) and Louisiana (Sublette, 1964). It is now first recorded from Dominican Republic (Fig. 5). As larvae, P. (A.) beckae and P. (A.) curticaudatum are identical, Brazilian larval records of P. (A.) beckae (e.g. Roque et al, 2004, Silva & Farrell, 2017) should be regarded as doubtful.

High-throughput characterization of mutations in antioxidant responsive elements
Creators: name: Chou, Alice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Understanding the binding specificity of transcription factors is an important step towards accurate computational prediction of regulatory sequences governing gene expression. Higher-throughput binding site characterization methods have long been available in the laboratory for the study of protein-DNA interactions in solution or upon a surface. In this thesis a new method is introduced for characterization of inducible regulatory sequences in living cells based on construction and analysis of promoter-reporter gene plasmids. Spiked oligonucleotides are used to generate libraries of regulatory sequences with subtle variations from a known regulatory element. Screening of the library in cell culture for the capacity of the mutated sequences to mediate expression provides a diverse collection of responsive and non-responsive sequences to aid in understanding the sequence requirement for an inducible transcription factor binding site. We apply the methodology to the study of antioxidant responsive elements, the target sites of the Nfe212 transcription factor. These target sequences commonly found in the promoters of detoxification genes modulate gene expression in response to a diverse array of chemicals. The variants serve as a primary screen for future targeted mutational analysis to further characterize context-specific sequence requirement in the ARE and/or interdependence between positions. Moreover, a transcription factor binding profile can be generated from functional ARE variants in the library screen. Such an ARE profile performs as well as standard profiles based on bona fide ARE sequences drawn from the scientific literature.

description: Annotation:

 

This thesis explores the intricate interplay between language and society, arguing that languages are inherently social and relational constructs, constantly evolving in response to the dynamics of human interaction. By examining key concepts such as language variation, social networks, and communities of practice, we delve into the mechanisms driving language change over time. This includes investigating historical linguistic processes like language contact and dialect formation, as well as exploring contemporary influences like globalization and technological advancements. Ultimately, this exploration highlights the dynamic nature of language and its role in shaping and reflecting social identities and relationships within communities.

Enchanted desires, sacred embodiments : sex and gender variant spiritualities in Weimar Germany
Creators: name: Fassnacht, Max
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Germany's Weimar republic has been understood as a time in which gays and lesbians asserted their demands for social tolerance and protection under the law. Many historians of this period have so far treated the complicated relationship between sex and gender variance and the scientific community. Yet the creation of the "homosexual" in the late nineteenth century as a kind of person also opened up the possibility for the discussion of a specifically sex variant soul. At the same time, the relative freedom of expression that occurred during Germany's Weimar period allowed for sex and gender variants to engage with existing ideas to articulate their own formulations. One journal, Die Freundschaft was a mouthpiece for a particularly vast array of opinions regarding same-sex love. Influenced by the works of Plato, as well as German romanticism, Die Freundschaft's authors saw their desires as being guided by Eros, a non-human and sacred force. Moreover, they fused Magnus Hirschfeld's notion of a "third sex" with the theosophical principle of reincarnation, arguing that part of the karmic path was the eventual incarnation of a soul into a body of opposing gender. Finally, the sentiment commonly espoused during Weimar Germany, that one could discover one's soul in nature, made nature a place in which sex and gender variants could discover their unique souls, and come to terms with their desires. Examining the ways in which sex and gender variants chose to describe themselves and their experiences in the language of the sacred reveals the extent to which they were able put forward an articulation of same-sex love that subverted scientific prescription, describing a constellation of desires and embodiments that were hallowed as well as natural.
