title: Lesson study as teacher development strategy: a case study of primary schools in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Creators: name: Almadi, Maged Saad O.
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: This mixed-methods case study investigated the perspectives of teachers (T) and school leaders (SL) regarding the impact of Lesson Study (LS) as a school-based strategy for teacher professional development in KSA. Specifically, the study explored how the model helps in enhancing the content knowledge (CK), pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and building a collaborative learning community based on the views of teachers and school leaders. Overall, a total of 54 participants including 50 teachers (25 males and 25 females) and 4 school leaders took part in this research study. More specifically, 50 teachers answered the questionnaires and 12 out of them were interviewed in addition to 4 school leaders (2 males and 2 females). The five key research questions which guided the study focused on examining primary school teachers and school leaders’ perceptions of the impact of LS on developing content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of Maths, Science and Arabic. In addition, the perceived influence of LS on school-based collaborative learning communities, the perceived benefits of implementing LS and perceived challenges to implementation in primary school context were closely investigated. Literature pertaining to teacher professional development (PD) and LS was reviewed. Data from questionnaires for teachers and interviews with both teachers and school leaders were examined both quantitatively and qualitatively to define common categories, themes, and connections to each of the research questions. The findings indicated that teachers and their school leaders believed that the participation of teachers in LS model can enhance teachers' CK, PCK, and can build a collaborative learning community which leads to breaking the culture of isolation in the school. This study examined the benefits and challenges while participating in LS. The findings suggested that the most frequently cited benefits were obtained by improving teacher performance as a result of participating in LS, improving student outcomes, ability to link daily teaching practices to long term objectives, and changes in motivation and a sense of effectiveness. The major challenges were the scheduling of meeting times, insufficient training of teachers ahead of implementing LS, insufficient understanding of LS by some teachers, the lack of sufficient support and resources that enable high-quality implementation of LS, teachers lacking CK when implementing LS, the lack of long-term vision for the implementation of LS, teachers’ lack of PCK when implementing LS as well as the existence of negative attitudes about LS among some teachers. In summary, the findings in this study suggested that LS was an effective model of professional development for teachers as LS helped them become better and more informed teachers. Recommendations were suggested to address the identified challenges.
Optimal control of laser plasma instabilities using Spike Trains of Uneven Duration and Delay (STUD pulses) for ICF and IFE

description: An adaptive method of controlling parametric instabilities in laser produced plasmas is proposed. It involves fast temporal modulation of a laser pulse on the fastest instability's amplification time scale, adapting to changing and unknown plasma conditions. These pulses are comprised of on and off sequences having at least one or two orders of magnitude contrast between them. Such laser illumination profiles are called STUD pulses for Spike Trains of Uneven Duration and Delay. The STUD pulse program includes scrambling the speckle patterns spatially in between the laser spikes. The off times allow damping of driven waves. The scrambling of the hot spots allows tens of damping times to elapse before hot spot locations experience recurring high intensity spikes. Damping in the meantime will have healed the scars of past growth. Another unique feature of STUD pulses on crossing beams is that their temporal profiles can be interlaced or staggered, and their interactions thus controlled with an on-off switch and a dimmer.

title: Petrology and Structure of the Cascade River Schist, in the Sibley Creek Area, Northern Cascades, Washington
Creators: name: Dragovich, Joe D.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 1989

description:
The focus of this study is on the protolith types, metamorphism and structure of the Cascade River Schist in the Sibley Creek area of the North Cascades, Washington. The two general lithologic packages are an arc and ocean floor unit termed the Cascade River and Napeequa units, respectively, by Tabor and others (in press). The Cascade River unit has a recognizable stratigraphy which is inverted and repeated across strike from the southwestern to northeastern sides of the field area, apparently as a result of macroscopic synclinal folding. The Napeequa unit lies on top of the Cascade River unit, in the center of the sync line, probably as a result of thrust faulting.

Metamorphic zones and facies in the field area increase from the biotite zone of the greenschist facies, west of the Le Conte fault, to the garnet and staurolite-kyanite zones of the epidote amphibolite facies east of the fault. The greenschist facies is estimated to be metamorphosed at pressures of 3-5 Kb, and temperatures of 450-500 C and the amphibolite facies at 8-10 kb and 600-700 C. Structural control of the greenschist-anphibolite facies transition by the Le Conte fault is suggested by the first appearance of the garnet and oligoclase with the fault, as well as a P-T differential across the fault, which suggests considerable dip-slip displacement across the fault.

The metamorphic structures in the field area consist of: 1) a synmetamorphic first deformation characterized by steeply dipping S-tectonites containing weakly defined down-dip mineral lineations and flattened conglomerate clasts, and 2) a late-metamorphic and commonly retrogressive second deformation characterized by steeply dipping L-Stectonites containing a sub-horizontal stretching lineation, prolate spheroidal conglomerate clasts, and dextral kinematic indicators. Later post-metamorphic structures are folds and faults related to forceful enplacement of the 73 Ma Hidden Lake pluton and Eocene strike-slip offset along the Le Conte fault.
TFT-bootstrap: Resampling time series in the frequency domain to obtain replicates in the time domain

description: A new time series bootstrap scheme, the time frequency toggle (TFT)-bootstrap, is proposed. Its basic idea is to bootstrap the Fourier coefficients of the observed time series, and then to back-transform them to obtain a bootstrap sample in the time domain. Related previous proposals, such as the "surrogate data" approach, resampled only the phase of the Fourier coefficients and thus had only limited validity. By contrast, we show that the appropriate resampling of phase and magnitude, in addition to some smoothing of Fourier coefficients, yields a bootstrap scheme that mimics the correct second-order moment structure for a large class of time series processes. As a main result we obtain a functional limit theorem for the TFT-bootstrap under a variety of popular ways of frequency domain bootstrapping. Possible applications of the TFT-bootstrap naturally arise in change-point analysis and unit-root testing where statistics are frequently based on functionals of partial sums. Finally, a small simulation study explores the potential of the TFT-bootstrap for small samples showing that for the discussed tests in change-point analysis as well as unit-root testing, it yields better results than the corresponding asymptotic tests if measured by size and power.

title: The 48-Year Sediment Budget (1942-1989) for Deer Creek Basin, Washington
Creators: name: Eide, Jerry
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 1990

description:
A sediment budget for the Deer Creek basin (137 km2), northwest Washington, spans both pre- and post-management periods, and documents a significant increase in sediment production between 1942 and 1989. Sediment production was divided into four primary components: landslides, streambank erosion, hillslope erosion, and road-related erosion. Using field sampling of the four components, the amount of field time necessary to quantitatively describe the relative importance of the budget components is minimized. Five incremental sets of aerial photographs were used to construct a management history for the basin, to document time of initiation of landslides, and to document changes in channel widths that occurred between 1942-1989. Changes in channel widths were used to estimate initial channel storage conditions in the basin, and landslide initiation times were used to evaluate the influence of management and storms on landslide activity. Landslides, debris torrents, and gullying on slopes accounted for 90% of all sediment production. The Deer Creek sediment budget is unusual in that it is dominated by the effects of one landslide. The Deforest Creek landslide accounts for nearly 50% of all sediment production during the budget period. In addition, sediment associated with this slide accounts for 20% of the increase in channel storage that has occurred between 1942 and 1989. Temporal variations in sediment production appear to correlate with the level of management activity in the basin. The frequency of landsliding and debris torrent events during five bracketed time periods appears to be proportional to the area of the basin logged during that period.

Creators: name: Myers, Nicholas J.
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: This dissertation empirically examines press releases and documents issued by the Russian government to measure their relative frequency and intended message over the years 2014-2021. It then quantifies how the quantities of diplomatic meetings and military exercises over time shift the relative quality of Russia’s relations with other countries of the world as well as the degree of military threat expressed toward each country by the geographical and tactical distribution of the military exercises acknowledged by the state. Finally, it assesses this shifting distribution using mixed methodologies: a quantitative methodology to determine if and how the changing foreign policy quality and military threat are correlated and a qualitative methodology to examine the patterns by which different leading Russian politicians and bureaucratic organs discuss their competing outlooks on and objectives of policy. It concludes by assessing that despite efforts to better harmonise policymaking across the Russian government, relatively little evidence exists to suggest that a coherent strategy is determining the everyday coordination of Russian foreign and military policies.

description: We focus on detecting and studying quasi-periodic propagating features that have been interpreted both in terms of slow magneto-acoustic waves and of high speed upflows. We analyze long duration spectroscopic observations of the on-disk part of the south polar coronal hole taken on 1997 February 25 by the SUMER spectrometer aboard SOHO. We calibrated the velocity with respect to the off-limb region and obtain time--distance maps in intensity, Doppler velocity and line width. We also perform a cross correlation analysis on different time series curves at different latitudes. We study average spectral line profiles at the roots of propagating disturbances and along the propagating ridges, and perform a red-blue asymmetry analysis. We find the clear presence of propagating disturbances in intensity and Doppler velocity with a projected propagation speed of about $60\pm 4.8$ km s$^{-1}$ and a periodicity of $\approx$14.5 min. To our knowledge, this is the first simultaneous detection of propagating disturbances in intensity as well as in Doppler velocity in a coronal hole. During the propagation, an intensity enhancement is associated with a blue-shifted Doppler velocity. These disturbances are clearly seen in intensity also at higher latitudes (i.e. closer to the limb), while disturbances in Doppler velocity becomes faint there. The spectral line profiles averaged along the propagating ridges are found to be symmetric, to be well fitted by a single Gaussian, and have no noticeable red-blue asymmetry. Based on our analysis, we interpret these disturbances in terms of propagating slow magneto-acoustic waves.

Creators: name: Gavin, Iain Stewart

description: Fire deaths and injuries remain higher for the general population in Scotland in comparison to the rest of Great Britain; the instances are mainly attributed to accidental dwelling fires. The main contributor to death or injury for the occupiers is overwhelmingly smoke inhalation from the products of combustion. The smoke from modern fires is more toxic and more volatile than in previous years, due to the increased quantities of plastic materials commonly used. This thesis intends to provide a meaningful contribution to the professions of fire science, medical treatment, and fire investigation by contributing to the improved health and wellbeing of not only occupants of dwelling houses, but also firefighters who attend fire incidents. Although individual reports and research publications exist for each of these disciplines very few, if any, address the combined contribution each has towards the improvements in fire safety or life safety in particular. Research publications, official reports, conference papers, and presentations were used to establish the world's interpretation of the causes of accidental fire deaths and injuries and their preserved shortcomings to current practices towards remedial interventions and strategies. As an in-depth analysis of the issue, fire deaths within Scottish dwellings via fire investigation and post-mortem reports were examined. This analysis was used to construct a multi-function searchable database for 139 fire fatalities within the three years studied. The resultant outcomes for this research identified the deficiencies within fire death and injury data both in quality and availability, providing a justifiable case for additional research into both the use of antidotes for an emergency response to fire victims.

description: We study the interplay of structural and polar distortions in hexagonal YMnO3 and short-period PbTiO3/SrTiO3 superlattices by means of first-principles calculations at constrained electric displacement field D. We find that in YMnO3 the tilts of the oxygen polyhedra produce a robustly polar ground state, which persists at any choice of the electrical boundary conditions. Conversely, in PTO/STO the antiferrodistortive instabilities alone do not break inversion symmetry, and open-circuit bundary conditions restore a non-polar state. We suggest that this qualitative difference naturally provides a route to rationalizing the concept of "improper ferroelectricity" from the point of view of first-principles theory. We discuss the implications of our arguments for the design of novel multiferroic materials with enhanced functionalities, and for the symmetry analysis of the phase transitions.

description: One of the important issues in wireless networks is the Routing problem that is effective on system performance, in this article the attempt is made to propose a routing algorithm using the bee colony in order to reduce energy consumption in wireless relay networks. In EBCD algorithm, through combined of energy, distance and traffic parameters a routing algorithm for wireless networks is presented with more efficiency than its predecessor. Applying the bee colony method would allow the placement of the parameters under conventional conditions and to get closer to a mechanism with a better adaptability than that of the existing algorithm. According to the parameters considered, the proposed algorithm provides a fitness function that can be applied as a multi-hop. Unlike other algorithms of its kind this can increase service quality based on environmental conditions through its multiple services. This new method can store the energy accumulated in the nodes and reduce the hop restrictions.

description: The legacies of traumatic events are often still present in the locations of those events, even when many years have passed since the original trauma. The poems in Water From the Rain-Gauge operate in a mnemonic and contemporary space which confronts these legacies. Written in the present, in full view of the past, they seek to reconstitute a child's memories of such events and, with an adult's empathy and compassion, reconstruct and reckon with the emotionally- and politically-charged memories inevitably accumulated during maturation. They thus focus on such occasions as the legacy of the Wilmington insurrection of 1898; a local case of arson, the arsonist's flight, and his death by police action; a lifelong agnosticism and its contrast with the obvious beauty and power of religious iconography; the simple beauty of family and garden surrounding a childhood home.
title: Managerial moral agency and wider institutional factors in the enactment of workplace safety practices

Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: The apparel production industry has become a springboard for economic growth and is the typical starter industry in several low-income, highly populated developing nations. This study was focused on the apparel factories located in Bangladesh—an emerging nation of the Global South where the apparel industry has recently faced a severe image crisis and has become the subject of great concern due to its substandard working conditions and safety violations. Hence, it has become a matter of urgency for such sector to undergo a workplace safety makeover suited to deal with this unnerving situation and to gain and strengthen consumer confidence, which is crucial to building a more reliable ‘manufacturer-retailerconsumer’ relationship. The extant literature has adequately addressed factory working conditions and workplace safety issues, thus aiding our understanding of the reasons that have led to accidents and their adverse effect on the people involved in the sector. However, these studies have stopped short of shedding light on the aspect of the attitudes that lead supplier factory managers to behave in a certain manner—i.e., engage in compliance or avoidance of safety provisions. Therefore, this study sought to both theoretically and empirically understand such managers’ moral agency in relation to workplace safety practices and how wider institutional factors can influence managerial attitudes towards safety. The fieldwork was conducted in Bangladesh, collecting qualitative data mainly by conducting semi-structured interviews. The interviews were supported and validated by data collected from non-participant observations. The data were then subjected to thematic analysis. Bandura’s moral disengagement theoretical lens was adopted for this investigation. The empirical findings revealed some interesting and unique wider institutional factors that significantly influence and shape managerial moral agency towards safety. While Bandura’s moral disengagement theory appears to be capable of capturing immoral behaviour at the individual level, it shows its limitations to do so in a collective construct, as was evidenced in this study. Therefore, a moral agency spectrum consisting of four salient agency types is proposed as an extension of the theory in order to investigate moral agency in social and organisational settings. This study makes several empirical contributions to knowledge. It provides insights into the business ethics literature in applying the concept of moral agency in the investigation of safety practices in apparel factories of global supply chains. document. In the process, it documents the lived experiences of individual actors embedded in the supply chain network and contributes to our understanding of the potential causes of the apparel industry’s poor safety records which carries policy implications.

description: Quantum control strategies that provide shortcuts to adiabaticity are increasingly considered in various contexts including atomic cooling. Recent studies have emphasized practical issues in order to reduce the gap between the idealized models and actual ongoing implementations. We rephrase here the cooling features in terms of a peculiar squeezing effect, and use it to parametrize the robustness of frictionless cooling techniques with respect to noise-induced deviations from the ideal time-dependent trajectory for the trapping frequency. We finally discuss qualitative issues for the experimental implementation of this scheme using bichromatic optical traps and lattices, which seem especially suitable for cooling Fermi-Bose mixtures and for investigating equilibration of negative temperature states, respectively.

description: [Abridged] Classical novae (CNe) represent the main class of supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) in the central region of our neighbouring galaxy M 31. Only three confirmed novae and three SSSs have been discovered in globular clusters (GCs) of any galaxy so far, of which one nova and two SSSs (including the nova) were found in M 31 GCs. To study the SSS state of CNe we carried out a high-cadence X-ray monitoring of the M 31 central area with XMM-Newton and Chandra. We analysed X-ray and optical data of a new transient X-ray source in the M 31 GC Bol 126, discovered serendipitously in Swift observations. Our optical data set was based on regular M 31 monitoring programmes from five different small telescopes. Additionally, we made use of Pan-STARRS 1 data obtained during the PAndromeda survey. Our observations reveal that the X-ray source in Bol 126 is the third SSS in an M 31 GC and can be confirmed as the second CN in the M 31 GC system. This nova is named M31N 2010-10f. Its properties in the X-ray and optical regimes agree with a massive white dwarf (M_WD >~ 1.3 M_sun) in the binary system. Incorporating the data on previously found (suspected) novae in M 31 GCs we used our high-cadence X-ray monitoring observations to estimate a tentative nova rate in the M 31 GC system of 0.05 /yr/GC. An optical estimate, based on the recent 10.5-year WeCAPP survey, gives a lower nova rate, which is compatible with the X-ray rate on the 95% confidence level. There is growing evidence that the nova rate in GCs is higher than expected from primordial binary formation and under conditions as in the field. Dynamical binary formation and/or additional accretion from the intracluster medium are possible scenarios for an increased nova rate, but observational confirmation for this enhancement has been absent, so far. Regular X-ray monitoring observations of M 31 provide a promising strategy to find these novae.

description: According to cosmological inflation, the inhomogeneities in our universe are of quantum mechanical origin. This scenario is phenomenologically very appealing as it solves the puzzles of the standard hot big bang model and naturally explains why the spectrum of cosmological perturbations is almost scale invariant. It is also an ideal playground to discuss deep questions among which is the quantum measurement problem in a cosmological context. Although the large squeezing of the quantum state of the perturbations and the phenomenon of decoherence explain many aspects of the quantum to classical transition, it remains to understand how a specific outcome can be produced in the early universe, in the absence of any observer. The Continuous Spontaneous Localization (CSL) approach to quantum mechanics attempts to solve the quantum measurement question in a general context. In this framework, the wavefunction collapse is caused by adding new non linear and stochastic terms to the Schroedinger equation. In this paper, we apply this theory to inflation, which amounts to solving the CSL parametric oscillator case. We choose the wavefunction collapse to occur on an eigenstate of the Mukhanov-Sasaki variable and discuss the corresponding modified Schroedinger equation. Then, we compute the power spectrum of the perturbations and show that it acquires a universal shape with two branches, one which remains scale invariant and one with nS=4, a spectral index in obvious contradiction with the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy observations. The requirement that the non-scale invariant part be outside the observational window puts stringent constraints on the parameter controlling the deviations from ordinary quantum mechanics...

description: We present a detailed study of star formation occurring in bound star--forming clouds under the influence of internal ionizing feedback from massive stars across a spectrum of cloud properties. We infer which objects are triggered by comparing our feedback simulations with control simulations in which no feedback was present. We find feedback always results in a lower star--formation efficiency and usually but not always results in a larger number of stars or clusters. Cluster mass functions are not strongly affected by feedback, but stellar mass functions are biased towards lower masses. Ionization also affects the geometrical distribution of stars in ways that are robust against projection effects, but may make the stellar associations more or less subclustered depending on the background cloud environment. We observe a prominent pillar in one simulation which is the remains of an accretion flow feeding the central ionizing cluster of its host cloud and suggest that this may be a general formation mechanism for pillars such as those observed in M16. We find that the association of stars with structures in the gas such as shells or pillars is a good but by no means foolproof indication that those stars have been triggered and we conclude overall that it is very difficult to deduce which objects have been induced to form and which formed spontaneously simply from observing the system at a single time.

description: By means of first-principles calculations we study the structural and electronic properties of a superlattice made of Sr2RuO4 and Sr3Ru2O7 ruthenate oxides. Due to the symmetry mismatch of the two systems a significant structural rearrangement occurs within the superlattice. We find that at the interface the RuO6 octahedra get elongated for the Sr2RuO4 while tend to be compressed for the Sr3Ru2O7 as compared to inner layers and the bulk phases. The positions of the Sr-atoms in the Sr-O layers at the interface are strongly modified and influence the alignment of the Ru atoms with respect to the planar oxygens as well as the Ru-O-Ru in-plane bond angles. Such structural rearrangement leads to a modification of the electronic structure close to the Fermi level. The main changes occurring at the interface and in the inner layers of the heterostructure are analyzed and compared with the bulk phases of the Sr2RuO4 and Sr3Ru2O7 compounds. We show that the positions of the peaks in the density of states close to the Fermi levels get shifted and renormalized in the spectral weight. The balance between the renormalization of the bandwidth of the dxy band and that of the crystal field splitting results into a minor change of the Van Hove singularities position within the superlattice. The effective tight-binding parameters for the 4d Ru bands are determined by means of a maximally localized Wannier functions approach and used to discuss the modification of the electronic structure of the superlattice with respect to the bulk phases. Consequences on the modification of the superconducting and metamagnetic behaviour of the superlattice with respect to the bulk phases are discussed.
