Examining the implementation of an emotional literacy programme on the pedagogy and reflective practice of trainee teachers
Creators: name: Davis, Susan
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Teacher education and professional development of educators

description: This study investigated trainee teachers’ delivery of a targeted programme entitled ‘Special Me Time’ (SMT) whilst on teaching placements in Foundation Phase settings in South Wales, over a training year. As reflective practice formed an integral part of the research, the study also aimed to discover whether students reflected effectively on their practice by employing specific reflective practice skills. The teaching experiences of two BA Initial Teacher Training (ITT) Year 3 students and six PGCE ITT students were scrutinised, primarily through examination of student reflective diaries and lesson evaluations. In addition, the study explored the rationale for the further development of good practice in pedagogy related to Personal and Social Development,Well -Being and Emotional Literacy (PSD/WB/EL) and reflective practice in the School of Education of a large university. The analysis of results revealed two common themes:Theme one related to the development of students’ pedagogical practice and to the teaching and facilitation of PSD/WB/EL during ‘Special Me Time’ (SMT). Theme two related to students’ use of reflective practice to assess and reflect upon teaching performance and competencies relating to PSD/WB/EL as part of the SMT programme.Findings from research showed that students gained in knowledge relating to PSD/WB/EL from undertaking the ‘Special Me Time’ programme. However, students found it difficult to effectively quantify the differences that the programme made. Students were aware however, that they were spending what they termed ‘quality time’ with the children. Students appreciated the concept of reflective practice, but often did not reflect upon or credit themselves with pedagogical achievements as a result of this process. Although student reflection was evident, students did not use reflection as a fundamental part of their practice. They often viewed reflection as superfluous and either did not wholly engage in the concept or undertook it but did not document the process fully, often engaging in what I termed ‘shallow reflection’. The study concludes by recommending that further research should be conducted in this area. Further evaluation of the benefits of equipping all ITT primary students regardless of age specialism chosen, with skills and knowledge in relation to teaching/facilitating PSD/WB/EL would be pertinent. The importance of ITT students developing skills and knowledge in order to integrate reflective practice into their professional practice is particularly significant. Findings from this research will inform future delivery of ITT primary programmes.

description: Hydrometeorological observational data can be affected by trends, change points and inhomogeneities. It is often difficult to identify the cause of these statistical properties of the time series and therefore they represent a source of uncertainty that can propagate to the hydrological model results. We examine two case studies of high-elevation Alpine catchments for which 59 hydrometeorological time series are analysed to show how often trends, change points and inhomogeneities in the time series occur. We consider daily and monthly aggregated data, as well as a set of nine homogeneity tests, six trend tests and three change-point tests. The results show that inhomogeneities in meteorological time series have a stronger and more direct influence on the cryosphere (snow and glacier processes) than on runoff generation. The non-linear behaviour of hydrological processes greatly complicates the judgement about the consequences of including or excluding suspicious time series in hydrological model set-ups.

description: Buser's inequality gives an upper bound on the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Laplacian of a closed manifold M in terms of the Cheeger constant h(M). Agol later gave a quantitative improvement of Buser's inequality. Agol's result is less transparent since it is given implicitly by a set of equations, one of which is a differential equation Agol could not solve except when M is three-dimensional. We show that a substitution transforms Agol's differential equation into the Riemann differential equation. Then, we give a proof of Agol's result and also generalize it using Sturm-Liouville theory. Under the same assumptions on M, we are able to give upper bounds on the higher eigenvalues of M, λ_k(M), in terms of the eigenvalues of a Sturm-Liouville problem which depends on h(M). We then compare the Weyl asymptotic of λ_k(M) given by the works of Cheng, Gromov, and Bérard-Besson-Gallot to the asymptotics of our Sturm-Liouville problems given by Atkinson-Mingarelli.

description: In this paper we clarify the relationship between inhomogeneous quantum spin chains and classical integrable many-body systems. It provides an alternative (to the nested Bethe ansatz) method for computation of spectra of the spin chains. Namely, the spectrum of the quantum transfer matrix for the inhomogeneous ${\mathfrak g}{\mathfrak l}_n$-invariant XXX spin chain on $N$ sites with twisted boundary conditions can be found in terms of velocities of particles in the rational $N$-body Ruijsenaars-Schneider model. The possible values of the velocities are to be found from intersection points of two Lagrangian submanifolds in the phase space of the classical model. One of them is the Lagrangian hyperplane corresponding to fixed coordinates of all $N$ particles and the other one is an $N$-dimensional Lagrangian submanifold obtained by fixing levels of $N$ classical Hamiltonians in involution. The latter are determined by eigenvalues of the twist matrix. To support this picture, we give a direct proof that the eigenvalues of the Lax matrix for the classical Ruijsenaars-Schneider model, where velocities of particles are substituted by eigenvalues of the spin chain Hamiltonians, calculated through the Bethe equations, coincide with eigenvalues of the twist matrix, with certain multiplicities. We also prove a similar statement for the ${\mathfrak g}{\mathfrak l}_n$ Gaudin model with $N$ marked points (on the quantum side) and the Calogero-Moser system with $N$ particles (on the classical side). The realization of the results obtained in terms of branes and supersymmetric gauge theories is also discussed.

This opinion paper synthesizes six discussion sessions in western Europe identifying three themes that all offer a different perspective on the hydrological threats the world faces and could serve to direct the broader hydrological community: “Tipping points and thresholds in hydrology,” “Intensification of the water cycle,” and “Water services under pressure.” Additionally, four trends were distinguished concerning the way in which hydrological research is conducted: big data, bridging science and practice, open science, and inter- and multidisciplinarity. These themes and trends will provide valuable input for future discussions on the theme for the next IAHS SD.

description: The appearance of a novel coronavirus named Middle East (ME) Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) has raised global public health concerns regarding the current situation and its future evolution. Here we propose an integrative maximum likelihood analysis of both cluster data in the ME region and importations in Europe to assess transmission scenario and incidence of sporadic infections. Our approach is based on a spatial-transmission model integrating mobility data worldwide and allows for variations in the zoonotic/environmental transmission and underascertainment. Maximum likelihood estimates for the ME region indicate the occurrence of a subcritical epidemic (R=0.50, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.30-0.77) associated with a 0.28 (95% CI 0.12-0.85) daily rate of sporadic introductions. Infections in the region appear to be mainly dominated by zoonotic/environmental transmissions, with possible underascertainment (95% CI of estimated to observed sporadic cases in the range 1.03-7.32). No time evolution of the situation emerges. Analyses of flight passenger data from the region indicate areas at high risk of importation. While dismissing an immediate threat for global health security, this analysis provides a baseline scenario for future reference and updates, suggests reinforced surveillance to limit underascertainment, and calls for increased alertness in high-risk areas worldwide.

Quench Induced Growth of Distant Entanglement from Product and Locally Entangled States in Spin Chains

description: We study the problem of entangling two spins at the distant ends of a spin chain by exploiting the nonequilibrium dynamics of the system after a sudden global quench. As initial states we consider a canted/spiral order product state of the spins, and singlets of neighboring pairs of spins. We find that within the class of canted order initial states, no entanglement is generated at any time except for the special case of the Neel state. While an earlier work had shown that the Neel state is indeed an excellent starting resource for the dynamical generation of long distance entanglement, the curious fact that this is the sole point within a large class of initial product states of the spins was not noted. On the other hand, we find that an initial state which is a series of nearest neighbor Bell states, and well motivated by some physical realizations, is also a good starting resource for end to end entanglement in a similar way to the Neel state.

description: We explore a second order Hamiltonian vertical resonance model for X-shaped or peanut-shaped galactic bulges. The X-shape is caused by the 2:1 vertical Lindblad resonance with the bar, with two vertical oscillation periods per orbital period in the bar frame. We examine N-body simulations and find that due to the bar slowing down and disk thickening during bar buckling, the resonance and associated peanut-shape moves outward. The peanut-shape is consistent with the location of the vertical resonance, independent of whether the bar buckled or not. We estimate the resonance width from the potential m=4 Fourier component and find that the resonance is narrow, affecting orbits over a narrow range in the angular momentum distribution, dL/L ~ 0.05. As the resonance moves outward, stars originally in the mid plane are forced out of the mid plane into orbits just within the resonance separatrix. The height of the separatrix orbits, estimated from the Hamiltonian model, is approximately consistent with the peanut-shape height. The X-shape is comprised of stars in the vicinity of the resonance separatrix. The velocity distributions from the simulations illustrate that low inclination orbits are depleted within resonance. Within resonance, the vertical velocity distribution is broad, consistent with resonant heating caused by the passage of the resonance through the disk. In the Milky Way bulge we relate the azimuthally averaged mid-plane mass density near the vertical resonance to the rotation curve and bar pattern speed. At an estimated vertical resonance galactocentric radius of ~1.3 kpc, we confirm a mid-plane density of ~5x10^8 Msol/kpc^3, consistent with recently estimated mass distributions. We find that the rotation curve, bar pattern speed, 2:1 vertical resonance location, X-shape tips, and mid-plane mass density, are all self-consistent in the Milky Way galaxy bulge.

The artistic communication of the experience of temporal perception

Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Aesthetics

description: This thesis describes attempts by the researcher as reflective practitioner to communicate the experience of time and evaluate the effectiveness of the attempts. The qualitative research obtained visual data gathered by unstructured, field observation from a fixed point in the landscape. This data was used in the production of artwork that was shown to a group of participants, all from the same accessible source. The communicative power of the artwork was tested using a series of open interviews, unstructured group discussions and collaborative experimental workshops. The most significant contribution of this research is to the role that fine art plays as a visual code and the question of whether, as a shared language, it is an effective means of communicating such things as experience. The research recognises and addresses three main problems: identifying temporal perception, identifying the shared language and improving the shared language. Major findings include: i. 'change' confirmed by the test participants as the means best suited to conveying the experience of time. ii. a diversity of understanding, as explored in the literature review, demonstrates that no single perspective on time can be adopted iii. the expectations of the viewers played a significant role in recognising the shared language and, therefore, in the interpretation of the works of art. iv. even a limited art education expanded the test participants' shared visual language which greatly influences these expectations. v. overwhelmingly representational artwork, together with the traditional means of presentation and formats were the preferred means of communication for the test participants; any deviation from this norm only served to obscure the message and confuse the viewers, thereby necessitating additional information. As well as the responses of interview and workshop participants the visual codes developed in the researcher's art practice are also discussed. All the conclusions are intended as general suggestions, specific to the confines of this research and are not intended as rules generally applicable to the entire field of fine art. Suggestions for future research are also given at the end of the thesis.

description: A shift from snowfall to rain affecting snow storages is expected in the future. Consequently, changes in rain-on-snow events (ROS) may occur. We evaluated the frequency and trends in ROS events and their runoff responses at different elevations related to changes in climate variables. We selected 40 central European mountain catchments located in the rain-snow transition zone, for which a conceptual catchment model was used to simulate runoff components for the period 1965-2019. The results showed large temporal and spatial differences in ROS events and their respective runoff responses across individual study catchments and elevations, with primarily an ROS increase at highest elevations and a decrease at lower elevations during spring. ROS events contributed 3-32% to the total seasonal direct runoff. The detected trends reflect changes in climate and snow variables, with an increase in air temperature resulting in the decrease in snowfall fraction and shorter snow cover period.

description: We prove that there are only finitely many algebraically primitive Teichmueller curves in the minimal stratum in each prime genus at least 3. The proof is based on the study of certain special planes in the first cohomology of a translation surface which we call Hodge-Teichmueller planes. We also show that algebraically primitive Teichmueller curves are not dense in any connected component of any stratum in genus at least 3; the closure of the union of all such curves (in a fixed stratum) is equal to a finite union of affine invariant submanifolds with unlikely properties. Results of this type hold even without the assumption of algebraic primitivity. Combined with work of Nguyen and the second author, a corollary of our results is that there are at most finitely many non-arithmetic Teichmueller curves in H(4)^hyp.

Using the mass as an infrared regulator allows us to derive an expression for the massless momentum space limit, which has not been given so far in the literature. Furthermore, we compute the corresponding corrections in the soft function for thrust, the most prominent projection of the double hemisphere mass distribution. Finally we give expressions for the corresponding renormalon subtractions in the gap scheme.

description: Black hole-neutron star binary mergers display a much richer phenomenology than black hole-black hole mergers, even in the relatively simple case - considered in this paper - in which both the black hole and the neutron star are nonspinning. When the neutron star is tidally disrupted, the gravitational wave emission is radically different from the black hole-black hole case and it can be broadly classified in two groups, depending on the spatial extent of the disrupted material. We present a phenomenological model for the gravitational waveform amplitude in the frequency domain that encompasses the three possible outcomes of the merger: no tidal disruption, "mild", and "strong" tidal disruption. The model is calibrated to general relativistic numerical simulations using piecewise polytropic neutron star equations of state. It should prove useful to extract information on the nuclear equation of state from future gravitational-wave observations, and also to obtain more accurate estimates of black hole-neutron star merger event rates in second- and third-generation interferometric gravitational-wave detectors. We plan to extend and improve the model as longer and more accurate gravitational waveforms become available, and we will make it publicly available online as a Mathematica package. We also present in appendix analytical fits of the projected KAGRA noise spectral density, that should be useful in data analysis applications.

Autor je podsetio akademike na njegovo upozorenje njima, početkom prethodnog izbornog ciklusa 04.01.2021. godine, kada im je poručio da je SANU tada bila: "ne samo prestarela i veoma bolesna-pre svega duhovno bolesna sredina, nego i prevashodno jedno interesno društvo u kome preovlađuju osrednji i veoma neodgovorni ljudi, takoreći: DRUŠTVO S NEOGRANIČENOM NEODGOVORNOŠĆU (SANU d.n.n.), gde je upuzalo previše slučajnih Srba i previše autošovinista."Interesantno je da niko od vrlih akademika ni tada, a ni kasnije, nije stisnuo petlju da na iznete kritike njihovog rada i ponašanja odgovori svome kritičaru. Predobro žive i izgleda i ne žele da remete, kako reče jedan od njh, "mir u kući od koje žive".

description: We consider the "two flavour" Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model in the presence of a vector and an axial external chemical potentials and study the phase structure of the model at zero temperature. The Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model is often used as a toy replica of QCD and it is therefore interesting to explore the consequences of adding external vector and axial chemical potentials in this model, mostly motivated by claims that such external drivers could trigger a phase where parity could be broken in QCD. We are also motivated by some lattice analysis that attempt to understand the nature of the so-called Aoki phase using this simplified model. Analogies and differences with the expected behaviour in QCD are discussed and the limitations of the model are pointed out.

description: We report the production of ultracold heteronuclear 7Li85Rb molecules in excited electronic states by photoassociation (PA) of ultracold 7Li and 85Rb atoms. PA is performed in a dual-species 7Li-85Rb magneto-optical trap (MOT) and the PA resonances are detected using trap loss spectroscopy. We identify several strong PA resonances below the Li (2s 2S1/2) + Rb (5p 2P3/2) asymptote and experimentally determine the long range C6 dispersion coefficients. We find a molecule formation rate (P_LiRb) of 3.5x10^7 s^-1 and a PA rate coefficient (K_PA) of 1.3x10^-10 cm^3/s, the highest among heteronuclear bi-alkali molecules. At large PA laser intensity, we observe the saturation of the PA rate coefficient (K_PA) close to the theoretical value at the unitarity limit.

Stellar haloes in Milky-Way mass galaxies: From the inner to the outer haloes

Publisher: name: arXiv

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a comprehensive study of the chemical properties of the stellar haloes of Milky-Way mass galaxies, analysing the transition between the inner to the outer haloes. We find the transition radius between the relative dominance of the inner-halo and outer-halo stellar populations to be ~15-20 kpc for most of our haloes, similar to that inferred for the Milky Way from recent observations. While the number density of stars in the simulated inner-halo populations decreases rapidly with distance, the outer-halo populations contribute about 20-40 per cent in the fiducial solar neighborhood, in particular at the lowest metallicities. We have determined [Fe/H] profiles for our simulated haloes; they exhibit flat or mild gradients, in the range [-0.002, -0.01 ] dex/kpc. The metallicity distribution functions exhibit different features, reflecting the different assembly history of the individual stellar haloes. We find that stellar haloes formed with larger contributions from massive subgalactic systems have steeper metallicity gradients. Very metal-poor stars are mainly contributed to the halo systems by lower-mass satellites. There is a clear trend among the predicted metallicity distribution functions that a higher fraction of low-metallicity stars are found with increasing radius. These properties are consistent with the range of behaviours observed for stellar haloes of nearby galaxies.

Confidence Sets Based on Thresholding Estimators in High-Dimensional Gaussian Regression Models

Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: We study confidence intervals based on hard-thresholding, soft-thresholding, and adaptive soft-thresholding in a linear regression model where the number of regressors $k$ may depend on and diverge with sample size $n$. In addition to the case of known error variance, we define and study versions of the estimators when the error variance is unknown. In the known variance case, we provide an exact analysis of the coverage properties of such intervals in finite samples. We show that these intervals are always larger than the standard interval based on the least-squares estimator. Asymptotically, the intervals based on the thresholding estimators are larger even by an order of magnitude when the estimators are tuned to perform consistent variable selection. For the unknown-variance case, we provide non-trivial lower bounds for the coverage probabilities in finite samples and conduct an asymptotic analysis where the results from the known-variance case can be shown to carry over asymptotically if the number of degrees of freedom $n-k$ tends to infinity fast enough in relation to the thresholding parameter.

Spin resonance in AFe2Se2 with s-wave pairing symmetry

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study spin resonance in the superconducting state of recently discovered alkali-intercalated iron selenide materials A_xFe_(2-y)Se_2 (A=K,Rb,Cs) in which the Fermi surface has only electron pockets. Recent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studies [M. Xu et al., Phys. Rev. B 85, 220504(R) (2012)] were interpreted as strong evidence for s-wave gap in these materials, while the observation of the resonance peak in neutron scattering measurements [G. Friemel et al., Phys. Rev. B 85, 140511 (2012)] suggests that the gap must have different signs at Fermi surface points connected by the momentum at which the resonance has been observed. We consider recently proposed unconventional s+- superconducting state of A_xFe_(2-y)Se_2 with superconducting gap changing sign between the hybridized electron pockets. We argue that such a state supports a spin resonance. We compute the dynamical structure factor and show that it is consistent with the results of inelastic neutron scattering.

An evaluation of outdoor development activities
Creators: name: Jones, Julian Mark
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Sport and leisure management

description: This study responds to an identified gap in the Outdoor Development Activities (ODA) literature. It applies a neo-positivist approach to the evaluation of ODA enabling a greater understanding of the outcomes and processes at work during ODA courses. Evaluation studies on this form of personal development are not new. Here the argument is taken further through a more holistic analysis of the contributions made by both course and participant. The thesis identifies the key characteristics of ODA and evaluates the role of learning theory in underpinning the provision of ODA. A summary of previous evaluation research findings is provided and the influence of research methodology explored. It is argued that weaknesses in the extant research literature stem from inherent difficulties associated with the subject matter and the unbalanced view gained by pursuing exclusively either a quantitative or qualitative approach. The research methodology adopted in this thesis addresses both of these limitations. The two case studies investigated in the studies, adopted quantitative and qualitative techniques to produce a complex and rich picture of the processes at work during ODA. The study's key contribution to the OMD literature is its examination of how task, review and the individual participant shape all learning outcomes. A modified version of the Lewin/Kolb model of experiential learning is advanced that explains the controversy surrounding OMD as a form of management learning and the variable outcomes associated with it.
Seasonal Differences in the Attenuation of Polar Trace Organics in the Hyporheic Zone of an Urban Stream

description: Attenuation of trace organic compounds (TrOCs) in a river occurs to a large extent in its hyporheic zone. A major part of the attenuation of polar TrOCs is of microbial origin. As microbial activity depends on temperature and redox conditions, seasonal differences in TrOC attenuation are likely. We investigated TrOC attenuation at a river influenced by treated wastewater during two sampling campaigns, one in summer and one in winter. In addition to redox conditions and temperature, we also determined residence times of porewater in sediment using three methods: (a) non‐parametric deconvolution of electrical conductivity time series, (b) the model VFLUX 2.0 based on temperature time series (only summer), and (c) applying Darcy's law to differences in hydraulic heads (only summer). Contrary to our expectations, we found higher attenuation for 12 out of 18 TrOCs in winter, while three TrOCs were better attenuated in summer. Sediment conditions varied between seasons as more of the top sandy layer with a higher hydraulic permeability accumulated on the river bed in summer. As a result, residence times in the sediment were shorter in summer. In winter, longer residence times, lower temperatures, and a steeper oxygen gradient in sediment coincided with higher TrOC attenuation. Further research is needed to understand our unexpected findings and underlying mechanisms.

description: We report the production of ultracold 7Li85Rb molecules by photoassociation (PA) below the Li (2s 2S1/2) + Rb (5p 2P1/2) asymptote. We perform PA spectroscopy in a dual-species 7Li-85Rb magneto-optical trap (MOT) and detect the PA resonances using trap loss spectroscopy. We observe several strong PA resonances corresponding to the last few bound states, assign the lines and derive the long range C6 dispersion coefficients for the Li (2s 2S1/2) + Rb (5p 2P1/2) asymptote. We also report an excited-state molecule formation rate (P_LiRb) of ~10^7 s^-1 and a PA rate coefficient (K_PA) of ~4x10^-11 cm^3/s, which are both among the highest observed for heteronuclear bi-alkali molecules. These suggest that PA is a promising route for the creation of ultracold ground state LiRb molecules.
