description: The flexibility of managing the Independent Campus program has implications for organizational change in higher education and requires Change Management Competency (CMC) to achieve change goals. This research aims to apply the ADKAR model to create a CMC profile for study program directors. This type of research is a survey. The research sample consisted of 65 heads of vocational study programs at private universities in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Data was collected using a questionnaire with indicators developed based on ADKAR elements for CMC development. Five alternative hypotheses were determined to test the correlation of ADKAR elements with the CMC profile, and all were declared accepted after being tested. This shows that the ADKAR model determines the CMC profile in an organizational change. Finally, a sustainable CMC development framework for the heads of the study program directors was recommended, using a combination of the concept of ADKAR and the system approach.
Dance as a therapeutic intervention : physical therapists' beliefs and practices
Creators: name: Konnyu, Kristin Julianna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Background: Activity and exercise that are sustainable are essential for maximizing their long-term health and therapeutic benefits. Physical therapists (PTs), as clinical exercise specialists, are committed to the exploitation of these benefits. Dance is often perceived as social and enjoyable, both potentially motivating factors that could contribute to its being such a sustained activity. Purpose: To describe the beliefs and practices of PTs regarding the use of dance as a therapeutic intervention for individuals at risk of or experiencing one or more chronic lifestyle conditions. A secondary aim was to establish an appropriate estimate of statistical power and effect size for subsequent survey or intervention studies. Design: Descriptive study based on a self-administered questionnaire. Subjects and Methods: A 5-page survey questionnaire, comprised of 67 items was developed and pre-tested prior to distribution to 231 PTs (with an anticipated response rate of 40%). Public and private practitioners were randomly sampled from the 2008 list of registered PTs in British Columbia. The randomized population was contacted up to five times according to Dillman’s method. Results: The survey resulted in 136 returned questionnaires (124 returned by respondents, 12 returned undeliverable) resulting in a response rate of 57%. Respondents expressed moderate to high agreement that dance could positively impact clients’ physiological and psychological states. Although most respondents did not prescribe dance, they expressed interest in doing so. Finally, the majority of respondents were amenable to the inclusion of dance in physical therapy practice, professional development education, and research. Rather than inclusion in entry-level education however, most respondents believed dance should be a post-graduate education topic. Discussion and Conclusion: We believe that this is the first study designed to examine the beliefs and practices of PTs with respect to use of dance as a therapeutic intervention. PTs appear responsive to recommending dance as an activity alternative, and are interested in learning more about its use as a therapeutic intervention and/or health promotion activity. Notably, dancing’s perceived social and enjoyable features were cited by PTs as potential facilitating factors that could sustain long-term participation and corresponding health benefits.

description: Although there are many evidence-based clinical studies examining the effect of motivational interviewing (MI) on substance use rates and relapse in substance use disorder (SUD), it has not been adequately explained how motivational interviewing affects the nature of the disease. This study was conducted to examine the effect of MI on treatment motivation and psychological well-being of patients with SUD. This was a randomized controlled study, including 74 patients who were diagnosed with SUD. Patients were allocated either to a combination of MI and treatment as usual (intervention group, n = 38), or treatment as usual only (control group, n = 36). Personal Information Form, Treatment Motivation Questionnaire (TMQ), and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB) were used to collect the data. TMQ subscales scores and PWB scores were significantly higher in the intervention group when compared with the control group after three weeks of treatment. Our results showed that MI interventions significantly increase psychological well-being and treatment motivation in patients with SUD (p < .05). MI interventions may be used along with other treatments by psychiatric nurses and other mental health professionals in patients with SUD.

description: The aim of this study is to investigate the urgency of accelerated digitalisation of learning to enhance the pedagogical competence of pre-service Arabic teachers in the post-COVID-19 era. This study used a qualitative method, and the data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation. Furthermore, the collected data were analysed with an interactive approach developed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The research results show the pre-service Arabic teachers have created lesson plans based on technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge (TPACK) to cover material aspects, methods, and learning media so well. In addition, pre-service Arabic teachers have implemented teaching practices using the TPACK framework, as shown in the application of information technology-based learning media, and carry out learning evaluations using online platforms such as Quizziz, Kahoot, and Google Form, which are presented in video form learning. The results of this study indicate that the acceleration of digitalisation of learning has an impact on increasing the pedagogic competence of pre-service Arabic teachers. Therefore, as an implication, digitising learning in the form of video learning practices can be used as a medium for learning observation in the preparation program for pre-service Arabic teachers post-Covid-19 Era. In the 21st century era, learning must be designed to achieve 21st century competencies, namely digital literacy competencies. This article describes the importance of digital competence in learning to improve the pedagogical competence of Pre-Service teachers who are in fact reformers and extensions of teachers. One of the impacts of the covid 19 pandemic is the acceleration of learning digitization which is marked by the rise of online learning using digital media, the use of various learning management systems, and online platforms. This technological transformation greatly supports the improvement of the teaching competence of digital era teachers, teachers are increasingly skilled and creative in integrating technology, pedagogics, and content in learning. The covid 19 pandemic also has an impact on economic and industrial transformation and other fields, where the role of digital technology is very important. So that Digital Transformation is needed for the sustainability of all sectors of life.

description: This study explored the relationship between students’ learning styles and their learning process through Kahoot in developing competencies within a target group of 89 high school students from Technical College "Dimitrie Ghika”, Romania. Initially, the students’ learning styles were identified using Reid’s VAK model. As a second step, the teacher created learning opportunities where information was available via each learning style by introducing a creative and innovative pedagogical method – Geography experiential learning using the Kahoot method. The last stage of the research tested the working hypothesis on the correlations between the learning styles of the students – the teaching strategy used (Kahoot) and its benefits in the formation of competences. The results showed that most students had 2-3 well developed learning styles, which made their learning with Kahoot easier. The findings showed that Visual has a major contribution (78%) in the development of concentration capacity, in the perception that Kahoot is a learner-centred method (79%) and in fostering thinking and memory (36%). Auditory science makes a significant contribution to creating associations with benefits such as learning from mistakes (88%), stimulating thinking and memory (55%), improving STEM skills (52%), creative methods (40%), and not inhibiting (86%). The practical style has a particular contribution to establishing correlations with the benefits of inserting maps and images (89%), carrying out mental reasoning (72%), logical and intuitive thinking (61%), usefulness in preparing for assignments and Baccalaureate (63%). The benefits of learning outcomes (the formation of skills) were highlighted by adapting the teaching strategy (Kahoot) to the particularities of students (learning styles).

description:  A portable biogas digester was fabricated to obtain combustible methane gas from livestock waste using HDPE plastics and PVC pipes. The structure was made airtight, and fitted with an inlet channel, gas outlet channel, waste outlet channel, and emergency pressure outlet channel. A domestic water purification filter with filtration elements of activated charcoal, iron filings, and local potash was modified for biogas upgrading. All filter composite materials were dried, and mixed with charcoal, potash, and iron filings in the ratio of 4:3:l. Leak proofing was done using PVC gum, silicon bonds, and rubber gaskets to ensure gas-tight seals. HDPE thread tape was also used as screw-able elements. Upon fabrication completion, a leak test was carried out using one (1) liter of water, and no leakages were observed. The animal droppings of poultry (three bags of 50 kg) were - filled into the digester, mixed, and allowed to generate uniform mass for appropriate environmental conditions for microbial processes of anaerobic digestion, involving the breakdown of microorganisms in the absence of oxygen, for the emission of the gas (methane). Gas collection was achieved through the outlet pipe (connected from the filter) which is the flexible hose connected to the gas cylinder valve, allowing direct capture of upgraded methane in the metal cylinder. The bill of engineering measurement and evaluation (BEME) for the fabrication was made. The obtained methane gas produced was purified - able to biomethane, which is burnable to obtain electricity and heat using combined heat and power (CHP) plants, usable as fuel, and inject - able to the natural gas.

description: This study examines an in-depth and systematic review of the effect of education on macroeconomic variables in Ethiopia, taking into account the effect of education systems on the skill gap and unemployment of graduates. Education economies in the literature show the effect of education on economic growth, as well as the effects of education on learner skill and knowledge, as well as unemployment and underemployment. The inclusion of human capital in the growth accounting claimed that people with more education typically have high skills and open the gate of employment, which in turn provides higher production capacity and growth. The capacity and skills that students acquire while in school is a critical factor in the school-to-work transition and increasing productivity. Moreover, the education system is vital to determining the capability of learners and economic development. Meanwhile, Ethiopia did not realize the learning promise due to the increasing crisis of learning systems and its effect on educated unemployment. The incidence of skill gaps and unemployment among the educated undermines economic growth, which widens income inequality and poverty. Furthermore, low enrolment in vocational courses, poor method of delivery, low input availability and accessibility, low-skilled teachers, and poor school-industry linkage were the main contributors to the skill gap, resulting in undesirable outcomes for education. In addition, the new educational development roadmap of Ethiopia did not review the relevant parts of the education system. Therefore, the ministry of education should revisit the new educational development roadmap in line with the learning outcome.

2d dose measurement using a flat panel EPID
Creators: name: Lim, Seng Boh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The increasing use of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to deliver conformal radiation treatment has prompted the search for a faster and more cost effective quality assurance (QA) system. The standard technique relies on the use of film for two-dimensional dose distribution verification. Although film is considered the gold standard and is widely used for this purpose, the procedures involved are relatively lengthy, labour intensive and costly for a multiple field IMRT verification. In this study, we investigate the use of an amorphous silicon electronic portal imaging device (a-Si EPID) to complement the film. The dosimetric behaviour of the device is studied both experimentally and numerically using the EGSnrc Monte Carlo simulation routine. The intrinsic build-up of the flat panel EPID was found to be 1.1 cm of water equivalent material. The response of the flat panel EPID was found to be linear between 0 and 300 cGy. To calibrate the flat panel EPID for two dimensional dose measurements, the deconvolution method was chosen. The scatter dose kernel required for this calibration method was calculated and characterized by varying the energy, spectrum and phantom material using a 6MV pencil beam. We found that flat panel EPID scatter kernel has as much as 80% more scattering power than the water scatter kernel in the region 1 cm away from the center of a 6MV pencil beam. This confirms that a flat panel EPID behaves significantly differently from water dosimetrically and requires an accurate dose scatter kernel for calibration. A 1.0 cm wide picket fence test pattern was used to test the accuracy of the kernel. Using the deconvolution method with the calculated dose kernels, the measurements from the flat panel EPID show improved agreement with the films.

description: Despite an increasing interest in pronunciation instruction in English as a majority language or international lingua franca, less is known about pronunciation learning in non-English minority languages, especially among child learners. Bilingual education programs provide a unique context to address this research gap, as they involve immersive education in minority languages. Teachers in these programs thus are insightful informants. The current study focuses on the context of a Mandarin-English bilingual program in Canada and addresses two research questions: What factors do teachers believe influence students’ Mandarin pronunciation learning? What are teachers’ strategies and needs when teaching Mandarin pronunciation? Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twelve Chinese teachers with diverse language backgrounds. The teachers discussed multifaceted factors that influenced bilingual students’ pronunciation learning, including speech targets, individual factors, and language environments at school and in society. Teachers shared a wide array of pronunciation teaching techniques, although they expressed concerns related to policies and resources. This study demonstrates the complexity of teaching the pronunciation of a minority language, whose speech system is distinctly different from English, in a bilingual classroom setting. It shares teaching strategies among bilingual teachers and identifies future directions for policymaking and research.

description: In this study, we examined the types of social minorities represented in South Korean high school Society and Culture textbooks since the democratization of South Korea and how their portrayals have changed. Throughout the curriculum period, women were the most frequently mentioned social minority groups, whereas sexual minorities were rarely discussed. The manner in which ethnic minorities are described has changed mostly in response to multicultural changes within Korean society, and people with disabilities have usually been mentioned only at an abstract level. Since the democratization of Korea, various social minority groups have developed rights movements and have struggled for their recognition by various parts of society, however, the voices of change have not been faithfully reflected in textbooks. In response to the Korean government’s policy trends of reducing the amount of learning, the content of social minorities has decreased, and social changes have not been fully captured. This finding somewhat differs from the expectations that the inclusion of ‘social minorities’ as a topic of study in the curriculum would improve the representation of the voices of various social minorities. In this study, researchers examined how South Korean high school textbooks portray social minorities since the country’s democratization. Notably, women were frequently mentioned across different curriculum periods, while sexual minorities received little attention. Descriptions of ethnic minorities changed due to multicultural shifts but often remained abstract. Despite social minority rights movements, textbooks inadequately reflect their voices. Additionally, as the amount of achievement standards shrinks in response to government policies, content related to social minorities decreases, failing to fully capture societal changes. This contrasts with the expectation that dealing with ‘social minorities’ in the curriculum would better represent their voices.

description: Teachers’ Innovative Behavior (TIB) is increasingly important for today’s education. However, available instruments do not meet the complexity of TIB as an individual, collective, planned and unplanned construct. The aim of the present study was to construct a new instrument that meets the requirements of this complexity. We started with a compilation of the most suitable items from 12 existing questionnaires, selected by experts. After determining the most appropriate items, face-validity was investigated by interviewing primary and secondary school teachers concerning essential terminology. Lastly, with a sample of 178 primary and 159 secondary school teachers, we preliminary assessed the dimensionality of the questionnaire by means of an explorative factor analysis (EFA). The results show that the new questionnaire appears face-valid and structurally solid, but still needs to be tested in practice among large groups of teachers, in order to confirm dimensionality and other forms of validity.

description: This article brings a novel perspective to the relationship between the physical dimensions of Home Learning Environments (HLE) and young people’s learning motivations during COVID-19 pandemic in UK. The architectural/physical focus of this investigation helps orient the reader to the literature/expertise I draw on. Based on 28 young people (16–18 years-old), the article evidences that comparing the HLE with the School Learning Environment (SLE), participants recognised the value of peer pressure and social learning environment to enhance learning motivations. Most participants found little use in home-schooling and wanted to return to in-person teaching. Students who adjusted the physical dimensions of the HLE were more motivated, especially if they had a private, semi-dedicated, or dedicated HLE. The article ends by exploring how the home-schooling experience during the COVID-19 pandemic offers an opportunity to re-imagine HLE as a complementary learning environment to SLE, motivate young people to learn and support independent learning activities.
Loneliness as a risk factor for mortality and morbidity
Creators: name: Patterson, Andrew C
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Studies over the past couple of decades have depicted loneliness as a significant concern to physical health, although its meaning for overall health outcomes is still unclear. The precise impact of loneliness on life expectancy and on specific disease processes remains unknown. With regression modeling techniques, this thesis uses data from the Alameda County Health and Ways of Living Study to characterize the impact of loneliness on self-rated health, mortality, and fatalities from specific diseases. A key hypothesis is that loneliness as a health problem hinges on its persistence over time. This hypothesis is also tested by examining the reliability of the loneliness measure across the full 34 years of the survey. A second test is to examine its interplay with marital status as a mutable social circumstance. Results show that loneliness is a risk factor for poor self-rated health, non-ischemic cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, infections, and overall mortality. Results also show that loneliness need not be a stable problem across the life span in order to pose health risks. The reliability of the loneliness measure fades across time and levels of loneliness also vary with changes in marital status. Loneliness did not clearly mediate the impact of marital status on self-rated health, mortality, or specific causes of death.

The ethics and values underlying the "emulation of natural disturbance" forest management approach in Canada : an interdisciplinary and interpretive study
Creators: name: Klenk, Nicole
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This thesis aims at bringing about a greater awareness of the interpretive nature of forestry sciences by examining the ethics and values underlying the “Emulation of Natural Disturbance” (END) forest management approach in Canada. The thesis contains four main manuscripts. The first manuscript reports on a mental models analysis of the meaning of the END for academic forestry scientists across Canada. The results of this study indicate inconsistencies and contradictions between scientists’ mental model of the END, which puts into question the utility and appropriateness of the END for forestry policy. The second manuscript discusses the ethics underlying the END and critiques its policy implications from a pragmatic perspective. In the third manuscript the ethics and values underlying the END are put in relation with Holmes Rolston III’s ethics of “Following Nature”. The last manuscript reports on a survey of forestry curricula across North America conducted to ascertain the level of formal training in ethics afforded to professional foresters and natural resource managers. This manuscript contains a proposed course syllabus in forestry ethics. The curricula study complements the other manuscripts in that it is meant as another means by which to promote interdisciplinary dialogue among forestry scientists, environmental ethicists, and social scientists. In this thesis, in addition to trying to illustrate how ethics shape our interpretations of forests, a pragmatic approach is used to dissolve the fact/values and Nature/Culture dichotomies in forestry sciences and to argue for a more democratic approach to forestry policy.

description: Along with increasing the complexity of learning objectives, the traditional Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) are insufficient in improving students’ learning achievement. Advanced VLEs can be created to overcome this challenge by combining traditional VLEs with Virtual Lab Network Simulation (Vilanets) learning media. This research, conducted over a period of one year, investigates the effect of different VLEs (beginner, intermediate, and advanced). The participants were 58 students assigned into three groups: beginner VLEs using video, intermediate VLEs using the Cisco Packet Tracer simulator, and advanced VLEs using Vilanets learning media. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design and one-way ANCOVA were used for the statistical analysis. The findings revealed a significant effect of VLEs on students’ learning achievement posttest scores controlled by pretest scores (F = 4.03; p = 0.02; p < 0.05). The highest learning achievement was observed in students who utilised advanced VLEs (M = 67.66, SE = 2.83). Additionally, advanced VLEs and intermediate VLEs significantly differ in students’ learning achievement (p = 0.04; p < 0.05). This research shows that advanced VLE using Vilanets is better than traditional VLE in improving student learning achievement. In conclusion, advanced VLEs can improve the quality of education in computer networking courses. Therefore, to improve students’ learning achievement, educators should incorporate advanced VLEs, particularly Vilanets, into computer networking curricula. In today’s digital age, traditional online learning platforms often fail to meet the growing demands of complex educational objectives. Our study introduces Virtual Lab Network Simulation (Vilanets), an advanced Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) designed to enhance the learning achievement of higher education students in computer networking courses. Vilanets offers a more interactive and practical learning experience by combining traditional methods with cutting-edge virtual lab simulations. Vilanets, an innovative approach with the potential to revolutionise computer network course teaching and better prepare students for future technological challenges, significantly outperform students using conventional tools, according to our research. This study highlights the importance of integrating advanced virtual learning environments to boost student achievement and improve the overall quality of education.
