Indonesian In-Service EFL Teacher Professional Identity Development through Teacher Professional Education: Hybrid Identities in Liminality
Creators: name: Prabandari, Carla Sih
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This qualitative study investigates the impact of an online Teacher Professional Education (TPE) program on the professional identities of eight Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers. The study reveals that participants developed hybrid identities, navigating a dual role as teacher-student hybrids and evolving into multifaceted professionals. Professional identity tensions emerged due to discrepancies between competence standards and field reality. The study suggests integrating language learning in TPE and advocates for continuous professional development to enhance teachers' professional identities post-TPE, promoting confidence, student-centred teaching, and digital leadership.

description: We study the buildup of the bimodal galaxy population using the NEWFIRM Medium-Band Survey, which provides excellent redshifts and well-sampled spectral energy distributions of ≈27, 000 galaxies with K < 22.8 at 0.4 < z < 2.2. We first show that star-forming galaxies and quiescent galaxies can be robustly separated with a two-color criterion over this entire redshift range. We then study the evolution of the number density and mass density of quiescent and star-forming galaxies, extending the results of the COMBO-17, DEEP2, and other surveys to z = 2.2. The mass density of quiescent galaxies with M ≳ 3 × 1010 M ⊙ increases by a factor of ∼10 from z ∼ 2 to the present day, whereas the mass density in star-forming galaxies is flat or decreases over the same time period. Modest mass growth by a factor of ∼2 of individual quiescent galaxies can explain roughly half of the strong density evolution at masses >1011 M ⊙, due to the steepness of the exponential tail of the mass function. The rest of the density evolution of massive, quiescent galaxies is likely due to transformation (e.g., quenching) of the massive star-forming population, a conclusion which is consistent with the density evolution we observe for the star-forming galaxies themselves, which is flat or decreasing with cosmic time. Modest mass growth does not explain the evolution of less massive quiescent galaxies (∼1010.5 M ⊙), which show a similarly steep increase in their number densities. The less massive quiescent galaxies are therefore continuously formed by transforming galaxies from the star-forming population.

description: Exposure to air particulate matter (PM) is epidemiologically associated with increased incidence of respiratory and cardiovascular disease in humans. Although inflammation, oxidative stress and toxicity have been implicated in the pathophysiological response to air pollution, the physicochemical properties of the particles responsible for the adverse effects are yet to be elucidated. In vitro assays are widely used to study the toxicity of particles, however, they have not been comprehensively validated in vivo. This work aimed to evaluate in vitro cytotoxicity and inflammatory cytokine assays as screening tools for relative toxicity of PM, validate their capacity to predict toxicity of PM in BALB/c mice, develop a cell-interaction model for the study of the biological effects of PM, and evaluate its performance in relation to PM effects in animals. Results show that in vitro assays conducted in macrophage (J774A.1) and alveolar epithelial (A549) cell lines can discriminate between PM, based on their cytotoxic and inflammatory potency. SRM- and EHG-type particles were more potent than DWR1 (PM2.5) and mineral particles both in vitro and in vivo, although PM rankings varied considerably between assays. PM with different compositions had different toxic potencies. Combinations of 2 to 4 in vitro assays showed a predictive potential for PM-induced effects in vivo, represented by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) neutrophilia in mice. In a co-culture, epithelial (A549) and macrophage (THP-1) cells synergistically modulate their production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1 and TNF-alpha), ICAM-1 and VEGF in response to PM exposure. Cellular mediators from PM-exposed co-cultures can activate endothelial cells (HPAE) to produce cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, GM-CSF, MCP-1) and adhesion factors (ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin). Exposure of mice to EHG6802, DWR1 and SRM-1650 particles led to BAL neutrophilia and elevated cytokines (IL-6, KC, MIP-1alpha, TNF-alpha, with a stronger inflammatory response at 2 hrs then 24 hrs. Statistical comparison of the cell interaction model responses with PM-induced BAL neutrophilia in vivo shows that the co-culture model correlates well with biological effects of particles in mice. Along with its ability to simulate physiologically relevant cell-cell interactions, it is a good model for studying mechanisms of PM toxicity, and for relative toxicity screening of particles.
title: Civil Education in Armenia: Possibility and Challenges in Implementation
Creators: name: Anjelova, Irina
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Education

description: The reasons to undertake this analysis of Armenian civic education were: a) the belief that the quality of civic education in any nation is an important factor in shaping the nations future, and therefore b) the conviction that the civic education and problems it addresses should be one of the most vital subjects taught in our schools and that it could become a highly effective instrument in the fostering of understanding among Armenian people; and c) my personal criticism that questions the value of civic education as it is now prescribed and taught in Armenian schools. The purpose of the study is, through examining many pros and cons concerning the possibility of developing civic education in Armenia, to reach the conclusion that the widespread, dangerous trend of ignorance of civic education poses threats to the vitality of young democracy in Armenia, and therefore must be aggressively countered, for civic education is a powerful way to develop civil society by improving citizens' political culture and by cultivating the values of an open society. Various arguments, favorable to democracy and civic education as a powerful input into the process of building a civilized and democratic society, are developed throughout the study. They are balanced by counterarguments against the possibility of implementing civic education in Armenia. These arguments are supported by analysis of the present socioeconomic conditions of the country, its political structure, and educational and cultural traditions that hamper the successful implementation of civic education.

description: Context. This is the second paper of a series devoted to the WIde Field Nearby Galaxy-cluster Survey (WINGS). WINGS is a long term project which is gathering wide-field, multi-band imaging and spectroscopy of galaxies in a complete sample of 77 X-ray selected, nearby clusters (0.04 < z < 0.07) located far from the galactic plane (vertical bar b vertical bar >= 20 degrees). The main goal of this project is to establish a local reference for evolutionary studies of galaxies and galaxy clusters. Aims. This paper presents the optical (B, V) photometric catalogs of the WINGS sample and describes the procedures followed to construct them. We have paid special care to correctly treat the large extended galaxies (which includes the brightest cluster galaxies) and the reduction of the influence of the bright halos of very bright stars. Methods. We have constructed photometric catalogs based on wide-field images in B and V bands using SExtractor. Photometry has been performed on images in which large galaxies and halos of bright stars were removed after modeling them with elliptical isophotes. Results. We publish deep optical photometric catalogs (90% complete at V similar to 21.7, which translates to similar to M*(V) + 6 at mean redshift), giving positions, geometrical parameters, and several total and aperture magnitudes for all the objects detected. For each field we have produced three catalogs containing galaxies, stars and objects of 'unknown' classification (similar to 16%). From simulations we found that the uncertainty of our photometry is quite dependent of the light profile of the objects with stars having the most robust photometry and de Vaucouleurs profiles showing higher uncertainties and also an additional bias of similar to-0.2(m). The star/galaxy classification of the bright objects (V < 20) was checked visually making negligible the fraction of misclassified objects. For fainter objects, we found that simulations do not provide reliable estimates of the possible misclassification and therefore we have compared our data with that from deep counts of galaxies and star counts from models of our Galaxy. Both sets turned out to be consistent with our data within similar to 5% (in the ratio galaxies/total) up to V similar to 24.

Sustaining community archives through social innovation model : an exploratory study
Creators: name: Chung, Cheuk Kit
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: This thesis examines the sustainability challenges faced by community archives and proposes social innovation theories and design thinking as a solution. Through a comprehensive literature review and reflection on the Community Archives, Collections and Heritage Exhibition (CACHE) project with Vancouver's Wongs' Benevolent Association, this thesis identifies limitations in existing sustainability approaches and shows how social innovation theories, implemented through design thinking, can address root causes and provide sustainable revenue streams while maintaining community archives' independence and autonomy. The study critiques current archival practices and funding models, advocating for human-centric, tailored solutions that generate both social impact and financial sustainability. Drawing from my practical experience on the CACHE project, this thesis offers a methodology of design thinking on adopting social innovation theories as well as a business model framework that provides potential revenue streams while maintaining independence and autonomy. The findings suggest that social innovation can not only enable community archives to achieve archival sustainability but also catalyze systemic change in archival practices, challenging institutional paradigms while empowering communities to preserve and advocate on their own terms.

Probing Black Hole Magnetic Fields with QED
Creators: name: Caiazzo, Ilaria
name: Heyl, Jeremy
Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2019

description: The effect of vacuum birefringence is one of the first predictions of quantum electrodynamics (QED): the presence of a charged Dirac field makes the vacuum birefringent when threaded by magnetic fields. This effect, extremely weak for terrestrial magnetic fields, becomes important for highly magnetized astrophysical objects, such as accreting black holes. In the X-ray regime, the polarization of photons traveling in the magnetosphere of a black hole is not frozen at emission but is changed by the local magnetic field. We show that, for photons traveling along the plane of the disk, where the field is expected to be partially organized, this results in a depolarization of the X-ray radiation. Because the amount of depolarization depends on the strength of the magnetic field, this effect can provide a way to probe the magnetic field in black-hole accretion disks and to study the role of magnetic fields in astrophysical accretion in general.

Design and planning for cellular manufacturing: Application of neural networks and advanced search techniques.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Industrial.

description: A cellular manufacturing system (CMS) is a manufacturing structure organized based on the group technology (GT) concept. The main advantages of the CMSs include the low material handling costs, short setup times and reduced work in process. This study addresses the machine/part grouping and group scheduling (i.e., part/part family scheduling) problems, the two key issues in the CMS design and planning. The machine/part grouping problems can be classified into binary and comprehensive grouping problems depending on whether or not the processing times and the machine capacities are considered. The binary grouping problem arises if the part demands are unknown when the CMS is being developed. If the part demand can be forecast accurately, both the processing times and machine capacities have to be included in the analysis. This gives rise to comprehensive grouping. Both the binary and comprehensive grouping have been proved to be NP-complete problems which cannot be solved in polynomial time. Considering the large number of parts and machines involved in the industrial design problem, efficient solution methods are highly desirable. In this study, a novel neural network structure, Ortho-Synapse Hopfield Network (OSHN), has been designed to solve the binary grouping problem. Due to its significantly reduced number of synapses and unique structure, the OSHN is very computationally efficient and training-free. An objective-guided search approach has been developed to lead the OSHN search process to tune the network parameters and escape the local optima. To solve the comprehensive grouping problem, two approaches are proposed. The first one is a simulated annealing (SA) method based on a generalized grouping efficiency index. The SA method is used jointly with the OSHN algorithm to improve the computational efficiency. The second method is a modified OSHN algorithm. The objective of the modified OSHN is to maximize the generalized grouping efficiency subject to machine capacities. Our computational results compare favorably with solutions obtained in the literature. The group scheduling problem has also been proven to be NP-hard. Furthermore, due to the limited time available for scheduling decisions, computational efficiency is more critical. To this end, a combined tabu search/simulated annealing (tabu-SA) approach is developed to solve the group scheduling problem. The main advantage of this approach is that the simulated annealing search can be accompanied by a short term memory to avoid cycling and thus improve solution quality and computational efficiency. This has been tested and demonstrated in our computational experience.

description: The German Adaptation Strategy launched a process to assess theconsequences of climate change and identify key areas of adaptationmeasures. For its effective and efficient implementation it isimportant to set priorities based on generally recognized criteria.This paper proposes a cross-sectoral prioritization concept forasses sing and selecting federal adaptation measures. Based on aliterature review, five key criteria could be distinguished (strategicimportance, urgency, side-effects, no-regret, flexibility), which weresupplemented with criteria to assess the technical and socioeconomic feasibility (economical aspects, acceptance). The multicriteriaapproach enhances transparency and traceability of decisionmaking in the adaptation process. Taking account of climateimpacts (path 1) and prioritizing adaptation measures using themulti-criteria approach (path 2) constitute only a first step.Step 2 integrates the findings of path 1 and 2 to select appropriatemeasures for an Adaptation Action Plan.

An investigation of the organizational effects of internal participatory evaluation.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Business Administration, Management.

description: This study investigated internal participators' evaluation as an intervention to enhance organizational learning capacity. In particular, this study examined the nature and causes of observed effects. A national, not-for-profit training organization where the present study's author was employed, served as the site of the research. The research process inquiring into the effects of internal participatory evaluation on the organization employed qualitative methods. Data were collected, over approximately two years, via retrospective observations, participant observations, archival data, interviews with key informants of the evaluation process, and from a focus group held approximately six months following the completion of the project. The data were collected, analyzed, displayed and interpreted according to a conceptual framework. The design of the study utilized several features to ensure the validity of the findings such as examining data from different sources, involving an independent interviewer, and providing respondents with the opportunity to make a collective response as to the effects of the internal participatory evaluation, as well as to assess the interpretations given to the data by the author. The results of the study were then compared and discussed in the light of what is known about participatory evaluation and organizational learning. It was concluded that internal participatory evaluation can positively affect the constructs associated with organizational learning capacity including causing organizational members to unearth and questions fundamental assumptions about how the organization is operating (i.e., double-loop learning). It was further concluded that longitudinal designs that incorporate qualitative methods geared to measure complex phenomena within a particular context are needed in this domain of research. It is believed that the present study has extended our knowledge about the power of evaluation as an organizational change phenomenon and has provided a more solid basis from which to make conclusions regarding its potential for impact. Finally, in spite of the fact that the present study was exploratory in nature, recommendations were listed for evaluation practitioners interested in pursuing further study.

Mechanistic study of Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions via real-time monitoring
Creators: name: Shi, Yao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: The Suzuki-Miyaura reaction is currently the most practiced cross-coupling reaction due to its broad applicability, low toxicity of the boron, and the wide variety of commercially available boronic acid substrates. Given its widespread application across pharmaceutical, materials, and fine chemical industries, the mechanism by which the reaction occurs is of considerable interest. Temporal profiling of chemical reactions provides the gold standard for increasing mechanistic understanding. However, acquiring reproducible and accurate time-course information while minimizing analyst intervention presents significant challenges.The integration of in situ analytical methods with automated sampling techniques offers a robust solution, enabling the acquisition of high-density, reliable temporal profiles for all observable species throughout a chemical transformation. These detailed reaction profiles reveal the dynamic signatures of underlying chemical processes, thereby informing process optimization and development. This dissertation advances our mechanistic understanding of the Suzuki-Miyaura cross- couplings through real-time monitoring studies under two distinct conditions: widely employed biphasic conditions and novel homogeneous aprotic conditions utilizing potassium trimethylsilanolate (TMSOK) as base. By leveraging an automated reaction monitoring platform, we have enhanced the mechanistic understanding of each catalytic system, ultimately leading to more efficient transformations.

Pendant la periode prerevolutionnaire ainsi que postrevolutionnaire, les critiques litteraires, en portant le jugement sur ce poeme, l'interpretaient le plus souvent sous l'angle de l'ideologie. Ce qui a provoque une vive polemique et a rendu difficile les recherches des arguments concluants. Le transfert des discussions sur un terrain neutre s'est avere indispensable. A cet effet, il serait utile de s'en rapporter au materiel statistique qui permettrait de recourir aux interpretations mathematiques.

description: A family of geometric models of quantum relativistic rotating oscillator is defined by using a set of one-parameter deformations of the static (3+1) de Sitter or anti-de Sitter metrics. It is shown that all these models lead to the usual isotropic harmonic oscillator in the non-relativistic limit, even though their relativistic behavior is different. As in the case of the (1+1) models, these will have even countable energy spectra or mixed ones, with a finite discrete sequence and a continuous part. In addition, all these spectra, except that of the pure anti-de Sitter model, will have a fine-structure, given by a rotator-like term.

description: There have been enormous cyberattacks, especially false data injection attacks over the past few decades causing huge financial losses, reputation damage, and power outages. Therefore it is crucial to develop an effective algorithm that is capable of detecting the slightest alteration in power systems. Therefore, I have proposed reliable, scalable, swift, and less-complex detection algorithms using artificial intelligence that can provide adequate security assurance for the smart grid system. Implementing these algorithms will mitigate cyberattacks, protect users confidential data , reduce financial losses amongst others.

Drug checking: a potential solution to the opioid overdose epidemic?
Creators: name: Bardwell, Geoff
name: Kerr, Thomas
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2018

description: Background: North America is experiencing an overdose epidemic driven in part by the proliferation of illicitly-manufactured fentanyl and related analogues. In response, communities are scaling up novel overdose prevention interventions. Included are drug checking technologies. Main body: Drug checking technologies aim to identify the contents of illicit drugs. These technologies vary considerably in terms of cost, accuracy, and usability, and while efforts are now underway to implement drug checking programs for people who inject drugs, there remains a lack of rigorous evaluation of their impacts. Conclusion: Given the ongoing overdose crisis and the urgent need for effective responses, research on drug checking should be prioritized. However, while such research should be supported, it should be completed before these technologies are widely implemented.

Decomposing Wage Distributions Using Recentered Influence Function Regressions

Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute

description: This paper provides a detailed exposition of an extension of the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition method that can be applied to various distributional measures. The two-stage procedure first divides distributional changes into a wage structure effect and a composition effect using a reweighting method. Second, the two components are further divided into the contribution of each explanatory variable using recentered influence function (RIF) regressions. We illustrate the practical aspects of the procedure by analyzing how the polarization of U.S. male wages between the late 1980s and the mid 2010s was affected by factors such as de-unionization, education, occupations, and industry changes.
Petrogenesis of the late Archean Quetico alkaline suite intrusions, Western Superior Province, Canada.
Creators: name: Lassen, Birgitte.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Geology.

description: A suite of 13 late Archean subalkaline to alkaline intrusions were studied by major and trace element geochemistry and neodymium, hafnium and lead isotopic methods. The intrusions (2683 - 2678 Ma) are located in the Quetico metasedimentary belt, western Superior Province, and include pyroxene hornblendite, diorite, monzonite, syenite and carbonatite. The samples display arc-like trace element patterns with high Cs, Ba, Sr and light rare earth element abundances and low Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta and Ti. Neodymium and hafnium isotope data reflect derivation from a depleted mantle source with minor contribution from an enriched source. Lead isotope ratios from K-feldspar separates are dominated by a slab fluid or crustal component. Quantitative modeling of trace element and isotope ratios illustrates that a metasomatic event shortly before melting produced the main geochemical signatures, but a contribution from an older crustal source is also required to explain the range in data. Melting models based on rare earth element variations suggest that melting occurred over a range of pressures or took place in the garnet spinel transition zone. The intrusive complexes can be subdivided into two groups on the basis of high field strength element distribution, which appears to reflect mantle heterogeneities resulting from differences in metasomatic processes. The most abundant group exhibits super-chondritic Nb/Ta and excess Nb relative to magmas produced by melting of a fluid metasomatized mantle. These characteristics are in accord with metasomatism by silicic melts that have left rutile in the residue and the metasomatic agent is thought to be a mixture of slab-derived fluids and melts. The trace element chemistry of the remaining intrusions reflects a source affected by fluid metasomatism. Carbonatite constitutes a minor part of the Beaverhouse Lake intrusion. Qualitative major and trace element modeling suggests that the carbonatite formed by carbonate-silicate liquid immiscibility. The carbonatite is characterized by highly depleted hafnium isotopic signatures, which are interpreted to result from a previous episode of carbonate metasomatism. Modeling of Lu-Hf partitioning during silicate-carbonate liquid immiscibility suggests that anomalously high hafnium isotopic ratios should develop with time in the carbonate phase, which has potentially important implications for carbonate metasomatism.

description: Australian dinosaurs have played a rare but controversial role in the debate surrounding the effect of
Gondwanan break-up on Cretaceous dinosaur distribution. Major spatiotemporal gaps in the Gondwanan Cretaceous fossil record, coupled with taxon incompleteness, have hindered research on this effect, especially in Australia. Here we report on two new sauropod specimens from the early Late Cretaceous of Queensland, Australia, that have important implications for Cretaceous dinosaur palaeobiogeography. Savannasaurus elliottorum gen. et sp. nov. comprises one of the most complete Cretaceous sauropod skeletons ever found in Australia, whereas a new specimen of Diamantinasaurus matildae includes the first ever cranial remains of an Australian sauropod. The results of a new phylogenetic analysis, in which both Savannasaurus and Diamantinasaurus are recovered within Titanosauria, were used as the basis for a quantitative palaeobiogeographical analysis of macronarian sauropods. Titanosaurs achieved a worldwide distribution by at least 125 million years ago, suggesting that mid-Cretaceous Australian sauropods represent remnants of clades which were widespread during the Early Cretaceous. These lineages would have entered Australasia via dispersal from South America, presumably across Antarctica. High latitude sauropod dispersal might have been facilitated by Albian–Turonian warming that lifted a palaeoclimatic dispersal barrier between Antarctica and South America.

Achieving daytime thermal comfort with radiant sky-cooling
Creators: name: Gerrard, Kyle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Radiant sky cooling offers a sustainable solution for improving thermal comfort in semitransient public spaces, such as outdoor seating areas, open-air corridors, and transit stations. By optimizing the material spectral emissivity, it is possible to limit solar heat gains and emit strongly through the atmosphere to deep space to achieve a net-negative heat balance and cool a surface below ambient temperatures even in direct sunlight. This work explores the potential of radiant sky cooling to mitigate heat stress without using electricity or actively conditioning a controlled air volume. Through a 2-month field test of a full-size 4’x4’ custom radiant cooling panel this study was able to examine the efficacy of the Radi-Cool commercial radiant film product and calibrate thermal models for use in design planning. A Phase Change Material (PCM) was also synthesized and tested, then added to the underside of the cooling panel to explore the performance benefits of such a material in maintaining adequately low daytime temperatures. The performance of the cooling panel was also compared against a typical urban tree canopy to assess whether a cooling structure based on a similar panel could be a viable alternative to vegetation for decreasing the mean radiant temperature (MRT) experienced by an occupant. Results indicate that a PCM is an excellent candidate to enhance radiant sky-cooling due to its high thermal mass to weight ratio and ability to extend time in desired temperature ranges. The calibrated thermal model also allows the potential for designers to test better performing materials, different orientations and tilts, and assesses real-world factors such as surface fouling and convective losses. This work demonstrates that radiant sky cooling is a viable, low-energy intervention for enhancing the thermal experience in semi-outdoor environments, contributing to sustainable urban cooling strategies.
