title: Role-played job interviews as a performative practice
Creators: name: Yeutukh, Volha
Year: 2019

description: Die Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit simulierten Bewerbungsgesprächen, deren performative Aufführung wir analysiert haben. Zu diesem Zweck wurden vier Gespräche in einer Anwaltskanzlei und einem Ingenieurbüro aufgenommen, im Rahmen derer die Akteure sich selbst spielten. Dabei war es uns wichtig zu verstehen, wie sie sich repräsentieren, sich im Vergleich zu den anderen Akteuren positionieren, und wie sie auf das Genre Bewerbungsgespräch einen Rückblick nehmen. Die Arbeit ist in zwei Teilen gegliedert. Der erste Teil befasst sich mit den analytischen Begründungen der Performativitätstheorien, die sich mit Selbstdarstellung und Theatralität auseinandersetzen. Hier geht es auch um das Genre Bewerbungsgespräche, Rollenspiel- und Kontextanalyse. Der zweite Teil ist der empirischen Untersuchung der Performativität in den Gesprächen gewidmet. Mit Hilfe der Gesprächsanalyse untersuchten wir die Rollenspiele und definierten die wichtigen Aspekte des „Knowledge Transition“ und des „Story Telling“, welche zum Vorschein gekommen sind. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, inwiefern es für die Akteure möglich war, eine Rolle zu spielen, in der sie ihr eigenes Glauben über sich selbst dargestellt haben, in welchen Momenten sie für die Zuhörer gespielt haben, und wann sie den Rückblick auf die Vergangenheit genommen haben und in der Retrospektive auf das Genre Bewerbungsgespräch Informationen (über ihren Background oder ihre Firma) geliefert haben. Die Arbeit kann auch für weitere Recherchen, die sich mit künstlichen Situationen und ihren Einfluss auf Gespräche beschäftigen, verwendet werden.

Constraining NOvA physics model parameters with the Near Detector using Frequentist and Bayesian statistical techniques
Creators: name: Martinez-Casales, Maria
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The NuMI Off-Axis Neutrino Appearance (NOvA) experiment is an 810 km baseline neutrino oscillation experiment measuring the fundamental properties of neutrinos and antineutrinos, using the high statistics data from the Near Detector (ND) at Fermilab to produce predictions for the Far Detector (FD) in Minnesota. In measurements published so far, NOvA has compared the Far Detector data to an energy spectrum obtained from a data-driven prediction method based Near Detector (ND) data called extrapolation. This poster presents an alternate approach in which physics model parameters in the NOvA simulation are directly constrained using the ND data via two different methods: one utilizing Bayesian statistics and the other with Frequentist statistics. The neutrino and antineutrino simulation is divided into subsets based on multiplicity and topology of visible particles. These are input to a Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and a Frequentist Poisson maximum likelihood fitting procedure. This work demonstrates these two fitting methods effectively constrain the model uncertainties with pseudodata generated by randomly varying physics parameters in the ND simulation. This is an initial step towards achieving a two-detector fit by constraining NOvA's physics model parameters to measure the neutrino oscillation parameters, sin2(θ23), Δm223, and δCP with its data.

description: In the realm of smart sensing with the Internet of Things, earable devices are empowered with the capability of multi-modality sensing and intelligence of context-aware computing, leading to its wide usage in Human Activity Recognition (HAR). Nonetheless, unlike the movements captured by Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors placed on the upper or lower body, those motion signals obtained from earable devices show significant changes in amplitudes and patterns, especially in the presence of dynamic and unpredictable head movements, posing a significant challenge for activity classification. In this work, we present EarDA, an adversarial-based domain adaptation system to extract the domain-independent features across different sensor locations. Moreover, while most deep learning methods commonly rely on training with substantial amounts of labeled data to offer good accuracy, the proposed scheme can release the potential usage of publicly available smartphone-based IMU datasets. Furthermore, we explore the feasibility of applying a filter-based data processing method to mitigate the impact of head movement. EarDA, the proposed system, enables more data-efficient and accurate activity sensing. It achieves an accuracy of 88.8% under HAR task, demonstrating a significant 43% improvement over methods without domain adaptation. This clearly showcases its effectiveness in mitigating domain gaps.

THE EVOLUTION OF UNITED STATES NAVAL POLICY IN LATIN AMERICA
Creators: name: Gray, Jr., Anthony Whitford
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The purpose of this dissertation is to provide an understanding of the historical naval or maritime role in hemispheric defense by tracing the evolution of U.S. naval policy in Latin America through seven distinct although overlapping phases. These seven historical phases include the development of U.S.-Latin Amerian Navy-to-Navy relations as well as the development of the U.S. Navy from one of deployed squadrons through the development of the fleet system into a globally recognized force. In conjunction with this, the concept of hemispheric defense and the recognition of the value of credible Latin American navies evolved through the implementation of U.S. Naval Missions, culminating in the cooperation of World War II. Through this process Navy-to-Navy relations evolved from confrontation to cooperation. Central to the dissertation are several themes of continuity reflected in the seven phases and in certain national traits, moods, and conflicting concepts or ideas including isolationism, antimilitarism, internationalism, aversion to arms sales, and reluctance to depend upon allies. The evolution of U.S. Naval policy in Latin America is therefore depicted as both a reflection of the development of the U.S. Navy and of the development in the United States of certain national traits and characteristics that have profoundly affected U.S. foreign policy. These traits inhibited the overall hemispheric defense effort during World War II. Although the wartime efforts of the Latin American navies was significant, restrictive U.S. pre-war arms transfer policies and a reluctance to depend upon allies detracted from this cooperative effort. The major thrust of the dissertation ends with World War II; however, the post-war period and implications for the future are addressed briefly in an epilogue. Critical to the dissertation research have been the following questions: (1) How did the U.S. Navy become involved with Latin America? (2) Why did the U.S. Navy become involved with Latin America? (3) And, based upon the answers to these questions, what did the U.S. Navy do in the past in Latin America that it should still be doing or what should it not now be doing?

title: Exploring children's views and experiences of having a learning difficulty and the support they receive at school.

description: Few studies have focused on gaining the views and experiences of primary aged children with the highest level of SEN – those with Statements of SEN (SSEN) or Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). This exploratory study aimed to understand from the perspective of children with moderate or general learning difficulties what they think of school, the additional support they receive, and what they would change about it in the future. It also aimed to investigate the extent to which these children are involved in the decision-making process around their provision and whether their views are considered.  Six children were interviewed using pictorial prompts and the data were transcribed and analysed thematically from a social constructivist standpoint. The study found that the pupils with SSEN or EHCPs held generally positive views of schools, preferred creative subjects, but experienced a range of difficulties at school. Friends and the support of a considerate adult were viewed as important elements of school. However, close TA support and appearing different from their learning-abled peers seems to promote physical isolation, a lack of agency and bullying. Pupils placed more value on support linked to developing their interaction skills rather than support that helped them to learn, or support related to changes in their environment. Overall, the most valued support was ‘Working with different adults’. The most important change for children was a desire to have more opportunities to interact with their peers within the learning environment. The children showed mixed experiences of being involved with decision-making at the school, but generally findings showed that children were mostly left out of decision-making. These developments have the potential to inform schools, EPs and other professionals' practice. Additionally, this study highlights the difficulties that schools face over inclusion and provides readers with thoughts on the actual level of inclusion for some pupils with a SSEN or EHCP.

Year: 2017

description: This exploratory study aimed to discover the current contribution of Educational Psychologists to special schools catering for children and young people (CYP) with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) from the perspective of educational psychologists (EPs) and special school staff. A systematic literature review highlighted that no research has been carried out in this area. It did however highlight other areas of research previously undertaken in regards to CYP with PMLD and research which had captured the views of educational psychologists and (special) school staff. The research was carried out in light of the recognition that an increasing number of CYP with PMLD are entering specialist provision and an identified role for EPs in working with children who have severe, complex or challenging needs.

The researcher created an online survey which was distributed to 146 Educational Psychology Service across England in addition to independent and private EPs. The survey was also sent to 288 special schools across England, identified as catering for CYP with PMLD. A number of 207 responses were received from EPs and 44 from special school staff. The quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics and the qualitative data was analysed using quantitative and qualitative content analysis. 
Important findings regarding the current contribution EPs are making to these specialist settings was highlighted in addition to potential barriers and opportunities to practice. The impact of this on future EP practice and research implications are also discussed.

Subjects: classificationCode: 390303
subject: Higher education

description: This study focused on decision making in the community-junior colleges of Maryland, meaning the areas of agreement or disagreement between faculty and executive administrators. How did members of faculty and executive administration perceive faculty participation in each of six pre-selected categories: budgeting, general institutional policies, professional personnel policies, and student personnel policies? The importance and degree of faculty participation were explored in each category. The assumption behind the methodology was that organizational effectiveness could be facilitated through identification of areas of agreement and disagreement in regard to the participation of faculty members in decision making. The method employed six null hypotheses. The population consisted of 186 respondent full-time faculty members and executive administrators during 1979-80. Seventeen of the eighteen community-junior colleges in Maryland participated. Data measurements were according to The Joseph A. Malik Decision-Making Questionnaire. The null hypotheses were analyzed using the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). ANOVA F values were calculated to determine the presence or lack of significant differences between existing and desired degrees of participation. To test the strength of the relationship between groups, based on the ranks assigned to decision-categories, and to determine the importance of faculty participation in decision making, the Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient (rho) was used. Analysis uncovered a basic cleavage. Faculty members indicated a desire for a high degree of decision-making participation in each of the six categories. Administrators were divided in their opinions. Finally, the data indicated that faculty members desired some formal basis for participation in decision making, such as committee structure. The author concluded that these expressions of opinion would grow as the junior colleges moved more fully into the mainstream of American higher education.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE) is a 26-ton gadolinium doped water Cherenkov detector on-axis of the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab. Its main goal is to measure the final state neutron multiplicity of neutrino-nucleus interactions to improve the systematic uncertainties of next-generation long baseline neutrino experiments. A key milestone for ANNIE is the deployment of the Large Area Picosecond Photodetectors (LAPPD), a novel detector technology with a timing resolution of <100ps and a sub-centimeter spatial resolution. ANNIE is the first large-scale high energy physics experiment to deploy such a light sensor. This poster will give an update on the status of the LAPPD testing as well as first results from the deployed LAPPD.

description: Aromatic molecules represent fundamental building blocks in prebiotic chemistry and are contemplated as vital precursors to DNA and RNA nitrogen bases. However, despite the identification of some 300 molecules in extraterrestrial environments, the pathways to pyridine (C5H5N), pyridinyl (C5H4N), and (iso)quinoline (C9H7N) the simplest representative of mono and bicyclic aromatic molecule carrying nitrogen are elusive. Here, we afford compelling evidence on the gas phase formation of methylene amidogen (H2CN) and cyanomethyl (H2CCN) radicals via molecular beam studies and electronic structure calculations. The modeling of the chemistries of Taurus Molecular Cloud (TMC 1) and Titans atmosphere contemplates a complex chain of reactions synthesizing pyridine, pyridinyl, and (iso)quinoline from H2CN and H2CCN at levels of up to 75%. This study affords unique entry points to precursors of DNA and RNA nitrogen bases in hydrocarbon rich extraterrestrial environments thus changing the way we think about the origin of prebiotic molecules in our Galaxy.

title: How can practitioners develop methods of hearing the voice of pre-verbal, pre-school children with SEND?
Creators: name: Weld Blundell, Samantha
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: The intent of this research was to add to the existing literature regarding hearing the voices of pre-verbal early years’ children with complex and special educational needs and to inform and contribute to the development of communication and interactive methods for this population.  This research will be pertinent to the local and national context and recent legislation that promotes collaboration and participation with children, young people and their families. 
The exploratory research took a post-positivist pragmatic position, with elements from a transformative paradigm.  This stance allowed flexibility in the way reality can be captured from this heterogeneous and potentially vulnerable population.  This mixed-methods research study included a collective case study of children, parents and teaching staff sampled from a special educational needs school in the UK. Various data gathering methods such as eye-tracking software, questionnaires and observations were used.  
The findings imply that each child required individualised communication methods and adaptations were informed through observations and parental and teacher information. The findings also indicated a common thread across the case studies, which placed emphasis on adapting and considering the systems around the child, as well as the individual needs of the child themselves.  This research will add to the limited, but growing body of literature exploring the barriers to hearing the voices of pre-verbal early years children with complex and SEND, as well as inform Educational Psychology (EP) practice by demonstrating how the views and opinions of this complex population can be included in the decisions that are made about them.
Young Supernovae fabricating the high energy universe: Diffuse Gamma rays and Neutrinos
Creators: name: Prantik Sarmah
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Multi-wavelength observations of different core-collapse Supernovae (SNe) have confirmed the presence of dense Circumstellar Material (CSM) around the progenitor star. The CSM is formed as a result of high mass loss of the progenitor star a few years prior to its death. Interaction of this CSM with high energy particles created in supernova explosion can produce secondary particles like high energy neutrinos and gamma rays. We term such SNe as Young Supernova (YSNe) as this interaction generally lasts for about a year after explosion and estimate the spectra of high energy neutrinos and gamma rays emitted by different types (IIn, II-P, Ib/c, and IIb/II-L) of YSNe. The estimate of the diffuse backgrounds of high energy neutrinos and gamma rays from YSNe shows largest contribution to the diffuse background by type IIn, followed by II-P and Ib/c. Interestingly, the corresponding diffuse neutrino background can also explain very well the IceCube’s diffuse flux. However, the dense CSM of these YSNe attenuate a large fraction of the gamma rays resulting in a ``dark’' source in the diffuse flux and doesn’t create any tension with the Fermi-LAT’s Isotropic Gamma Ray Background (IGRB).

title: Parents' Experiences of Having A Child Diagnosed with Landau Kleffner Syndrome
Creators: name: Williamson, Cleo
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2017

description: Background and Aims: Landau Kleffner Syndrome (LKS) is a rare childhood neurological disorder that is characterised by epileptic disturbance and acquired language regression. The current literature on LKS takes a predominantly medical stance, with little attention given to the affect this syndrome has on the family. Through the adoption of a qualitative design, the current, United Kingdom based, study aims to explore parents’ subjective experiences of having a child with LKS and how they cope. 

Method and Results: Eight interviews were conducted with parents whose children had been previously diagnosed with LKS. Each interview was transcribed and thematic analysis conducted on the data. Two themes were identified, each indicating important aspects of the parents’ experience of LKS: 1) Challenges to coping 2) Evolution of the family roles and ways of coping over time.   

Discussion: Findings highlighted challenges throughout the course of LKS. At the initial onset, parents particularly emphasised the significance of loss, while witnessing the deterioration of their child’s behaviour, skills and health. This was further exacerbated by the rarity of the disorder, which made accessing helpful formal and informal support challenging, because others typically held little knowledge about LKS. Parents reported a number of consequential changes to their lives including parenting style, managing finances, social interaction and a need to advocate. The range of ways parents coped included the acknowledgment of positive experiences, drawing from personal resources and taking one day at a time. Based on these findings, clinical, service and research level implications are considered.

description: This dissertation is a participant observer study of the effects of technological change on necessary working knowledge in rail switching. Data was collected between 1965 and 1978 while the author worked as a switchman/brakeman for five rail companies in Kansas City, Missouri and Washington, D.C. The theoretical positions of Harry Braverman (Labor and Monopoly Capital) and of Ken Kusterer (Know How on the Job: The Important Working Knowledge of "Unskilled" Workers) are both central to this study. Braverman argues that capitalism produces detail work, which in turn produces the successive de-skilling of workers. Kusterer, critical of the "skill" concept, argues that it leads to an underestimation of what workers know--that no one is totally unskilled. This work performs a theoretical marriage of the Braverman and Kusterer positions. Workers do know a great deal which escapes the typical job descriptions of "required skills." Kusterer's taxonomy of "working knowledge," adapted to rail switching, provides evidence of significant working knowledge in each of the four stages of technology studied. However, across stages, due to technological change, necessary working knowledge decreases. Thus, the Braverman hypothesis is supported. Braverman cites a tripartite formula in the writings of Frederick Taylor which was intended to increase management control of the work process. In rail switching this strategy was implemented, but through technological change chosen by ordinary management rather than by time and motion consultants. It is found that sub-groups of workers performed successively fewer basic tasks. This is internal specialization. Further, switched freight cars are successively produced with performance of fewer types of tasks by any human. This I define as overall specialization. Technological change also decreased the number of variables relevant to workers. This is routinization. The effects of routinization decreased necessary working knowledge with respect to plant and equipment, materials processed, peers, and hierarchical structures. The effects of technological change on worker networks and alienation is examined. Possible alternatives to the hump yard are discussed and current struggles are presented in closing. A chapter by chapter annotation is found in the introduction. Methodology is discussed in chapter I.
title: An exploration of staff experiences of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)

description: Intensive care unit (ICU) staff are exposed to a broad range of professional, ethical and clinical practice issues such as when to offer and withdraw potentially life-saving care, which are most apparent when working with hyper-advanced technologies such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Despite the rapid increase in use of ECMO to support adults with critical heart and lung conditions, few studies have documented staff experiences of working with this technology. This study aimed to explore ICU doctors and nurses conceptualisations of key professional, ethical and clinical practice issues relating to ECMO, and the psychological impact of managing them.  
A qualitative design was utilised, in which semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 ICU staff (five doctors and five nurses), working in a specialist ECMO centre in the United Kingdom 
(UK). Data were analysed using thematic analysis, underpinned by a critical realist epistemological stance. Three key themes were identified. 1) Embodying the ECMO Specialist: Staff experienced a sense of mastery when managing technical aspects of the work, but felt inept when dealing with abstract ethical issues. Specialists sought to drive forward clinical practice, and learning was considered important for developing clinical abilities. 2) Team dynamics:  Staff came together as a team to address the technical, professional and ethical challenges associated with their work with ECMO, however ECMO was also described as a divisive force in the ICU. 3) Riding the Emotional Rollercoaster: Life or death outcomes were associated with intense emotions and staff reported various ways of managing them.  
These findings add a new dimension to the professional and ethical discussions in the academic literature and have several implications for clinical practice, which are discussed. Further research may wish to focus on more specific aspects of ECMO care, such as the processes involved in decision-making.

title: A social identity approach to career development: possible selves and prototypical occupational identities.

description: The notion of identity lies at the heart of many career theories, yet the concept is not well or consistently defined within the literature. This programme of doctoral research aimed to explore two specific variants of career related identity: occupational prototypes and possible selves. The first study gathered data from psychology students (n=24) through focus groups. Participants described their prototypical representations of members of four occupations (social worker, primary teacher, clinical and occupational psychologists). A content analysis revealed that these were detailed and multidimensional. Additionally, the data provided forty items for a self-report measure to assess the degree of match between an individual’s possible self and an occupational prototype (PS to OP Match), used in Study 2. The second study examined the associations between possible self salience, PS to OP Match, and career goals and motivation for female psychology students (n=87). The results revealed significant, moderate correlations between possible self salience and both career goals and career motivation, and a significant weak correlation between PS to OP Match and career motivation. No evidence was found for an association between PS to OP Match and career goals. In Study 3, the data collected in the first study were subject to a second analysis (classic grounded theory) to identify the characteristics symbolised by the features of the occupational prototypes described. A framework of occupational identities was developed which reflected participants’ conceptualisations of these occupational identities. The framework incorporated four intrapsychic dimensions (successful, cool, cultured and intellectual) and four intrapsychic dimensions (warm, energetic, fun and conventional). In the fourth and final study, the responses of four career practitioners to the framework were explored using grounded theory.  The semi-structured interviews revealed that the participants drew on stereotypes and preconscious cognition when thinking about careers.  The practitioners found it uncomfortable to engage with conceptualisations of occupations which were constructed through stereotypes and preconscious cognitive processing, but despite this discomfort, felt that career conversations based on the framework could add value to clients. The results of the research programme make a contribution to the theoretical understanding of the nature of perceptions of occupational identities, provide empirical evidence about the impact that possible selves may have on career development, and offer a new framework of occupational identities which can be used to raise awareness of preconscious thoughts in career practice.

title: How observational material might be used in a collaborative
consultation with teachers to further their understanding of their pupils
Creators: name: Wedd, Anne Marie
Publisher: name: The University of East London

description: The project was a feasibility study into the usefulness of a collaborative consideration of observational material in an early years special education provision. Children were referred, often for only two terms before returning to their mainstream schools where there was an expectation that the concerns would have been improved or resolved. A Child Psychotherapist observed the classes from behind a screen. These were filmed and then written up later in the tradition of Tavistock young child observation. This material was discussed with the teachers in an exploratory session and then a month later there was a review of this process to see if it had been helpful to the teacher’s thinking about the children. The whole process was repeated to allow for some learning from the first phase to be carried forward.

A secondary aim of the study was to explore the aspects of the teacher-pupil relationship that promote learning. This study encompasses the use of observation and video along with consultation in schools to assist work with teachers in early years settings. The themes drawn from the data revealed a passive and active interaction between conscious and unconscious processes as they occurred in the classroom as well as in the discussion of the observations. These themes describe the progression of learning as it was observed.

There emerged a preference among the teachers for the filmed material which yielded a rich data set. It highlighted the importance of the relationship between teacher and child and the extent of the non-verbal nature of this communication. The written observations worked as a foil to the acceptability of video and provoked discussion in post observation sessions. Whilst technically and ethically demanding the use of video here revealed an increasing desire and orientation toward visual media and its application in work with vulnerable children.
