Targeted persuasive advertising
Creators: name: Willmore, Christopher
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The three essays of this thesis consider a firm’s choice of advertising campaign when advertising may be conditioned on the preferences of individual consumers. In essay one, I show that a monopolist will use such advertising to turn sub-marginal consumers, who are not quite willing to pay for the good, into marginal consumers who are indifferent to paying for the good or going without it. The second essay considers the use of targeted advertising in duopoly, when one of the firms does not have access to advertising. I find that advertising will target those consumers most likely to switch to the non-advertising firm. Each firm sets a price just high enough to capture the consumers on either side of the advertising 'barrier’. The third essay looks at targeted advertising in the context of Canadian public health. When the goals of government and industry are aligned, advertising by the firm may be an alternative superior to government advertising in the form of a public health education campaign.

description: This study reviews the implications of the 2014 reporting regulation for public higher education institutions (PHEIs) in South Africa. Guided by the monitoring and evaluation logical framework model and the theory of change, the research assesses the alignment between the regulation’s outcomes and practical implementation. Employing a Document Analysis methodology, the study examines relevant policy documents, institutional reports, and literature to uncover the link between planned interventions and academic success outcomes within reporting timelines. The study highlights a significant research gap regarding the feasibility of achieving desired improvements within specified timeframes. The proposed recommendation for a strategic six-year plan, coupled with synchronized reporting cycles, offers a structured approach for realistic academic intervention impact evaluation.

(Figs 8–9)
Synonym: Floscularia noodti Koste, 1972: 534 –540
Comments. We identified our material as being conspecific with Floscularia noodti Koste, 1972 based on complete concordance of the tube and of the morphology of the contracted body and trophi of the specimens with Koste’s (1972) description, notwithstanding the incompleteness of the original description. Our examination of living specimens reveals that this species does not belong to Floscularia Cuvier, 1798 but, rather, to Ptygura Ehrenberg, 1832. Indeed, the corona of the species is bilobed and more or less elliptical, as in Ptygura, not four-lobed as in Floscularia. Koste (1972) based his description of the species exclusively on preserved, contracted material, and allocated the animal to Floscularia based on a superficial similarity of the tube it inhabits with that of species of the F. ringens group, in particular, F. janus. The generic assignment of the specimens we observed is unequivocal, given the present generic diagnosis in family Flosculariidae. Actually, its tube morphology is not unique in Ptygura: also Ptygura pilula (Cubitt, 1872) inhabits a tube constructed of loose pellets of mucus and detritus, albeit that in the latter species these pellets are round, not elongate.
Redescription. Body fusiform. Foot clearly separated from trunk, foot peduncle short. Corona distinctly bilobed, ventral sinus distinct, dorsal gap wide, width about 1/5 of corona width. Buccal area with distinct rounded projection near the ventral margin, bearing a cluster of fairly long relatively stiff cilia, these are moved up and down nervously. A single dorsal projection protecting the dorsal antenna (“Nackenhäckchen” of Koste 1972, 1978) present; this projection is composed of two fairly equal, adjacent elements: a ventral, spherical one and a smaller, blunt-triangular dorsal one. Lateral antenna long and slender. Tube consist of elongate, rather ill-defined lumps of strongly elongated gelatinous material in which some detritus material is embedded; these are arranged horizontally, radiating outward from the central cavity inhabited by the animal. Trophi malleoramate, symmetrical. Three proximal unci teeth on both sides slightly reinforced; left – right 18–16 unci teeth in total.
Measurements. Female total height ca. 410 µm. Trunk length ca. 130–150 µm, width ca. 60 µm. Foot stalk length ca. 13 µm. Corona height ca. 75–90 µm, width ca. 100–150 µm. Length of buccal setae cluster ca. 55 µm. Length of lateral antenna ca. 75–100 µm. Tube length ca. 250–370 µm.

description: This study examines the effectiveness of GeoGebra in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding of points, lines, and angles within a socio-cultural learning context. A quasi-experimental, nonequivalent pretest-posttest design was utilized, involving 279 first-year secondary school students from four public schools in Rwanda. Participants were divided into two groups: a control group of 148 students and an experimental group of 131 students. The control group received traditional instruction, with teachers providing explanations and exercises on the blackboard. In contrast, the experimental group learned the same content using GeoGebra within a smart classroom environment. Results showed that students in the experimental group significantly outperformed those in the control group (p < .001), suggesting that GeoGebra, when integrated within a socio-cultural learning context, can effectively enhance students’ understanding of mathematical concepts. The study recommends that mathematics educators incorporate GeoGebra software geometry education. The study also acknowledges the potential limitations such as the need for further research to explore the long-term effects of using GeoGebra software in mathematics education. Integration of ICT within the Socio-Cultural Proximity in teaching and learning increases student concentration and students assimilate concepts more quickly. It involves the engagement of teachers and students. Rwanda has significantly promoted the integration of ICT in education, especially in STEM education. This is widely recognized as paving the way toward national sustainable development and innovative socio-economic transformation. The ICT is considered as a ubiquitous tool to energize this development and transformation. Consequently, this global turn to STEM and ICT is echoed in educational research priorities. Thus, the GeoGebra Software used to ease the construction of knowledge of mathematics when used in the context of a Socio-Cultural Proximity approach. This research shows that using the GeoGebra Software combined with a Socio-Cultural Proximity in learning mathematics builds collaborative skills, more understanding, and confidence in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding of mathematics through Socio-Cultural Proximity approach.

description: Scientific discovery and technological innovation are the ultimate forces that promote socioeconomic development. However, researchers are not certain which factors play a leading role in scientific discovery and technological innovation and what differences in these factors exist between regions. In this study, we selected 286 prefecture-level Chinese cities and developed a coupling model to link them within a comprehensive evaluation framework, then performed multiple linear regression model and geographically weighted regression model to identify the key driving factors for scientific discovery and technological innovation, their contributions to innovation, and their regional differences. We found that marketization (development of a market economy), population density, industrial upgrading, health care, and industrialization most strongly promoted Chinese innovation from 2007 to 2019, whereas the innovation level decreased with increasing environmental pollution. To promote scientific discovery and technological innovation, we should increase marketization, promote market-oriented reform of universities, sustainably increase population density, and upgrade the industrial structure, while simultaneously reducing pollution. These results will provide important guidance for the formulation of China’s future science and technology policy, but our method will also help other countries learn how to improve their own science and innovation by learning from China’s experience.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of topic-specific pedagogical content knowledge-based instruction on grade 11 students’ achievement in chemical kinetics and equilibrium. A quasi-experimental research design with a 4 × 2 * 3 pre-test and post-test control group was employed on Grade 11 chemistry students in Addis Ababa administrative city, Ethiopia. Each treatment was assigned to four schools at random. The data collection instrument was the chemistry achievement test and the instrument was piloted with 61 students in a different school than the intervention schools. The reliability coefficient of the chemistry achievement test was calculated to be 0.79 after piloting and using Kuder-Richardson Formula 20. Data was gathered and analyzed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. The study found that TSPCK-based instruction significantly improved high school students’ achievement in chemical kinetics and equilibrium concepts. Students exposed to the conceptual teaching strategy instructional mode performed better academically than those in representation-based, curricular saliency-based and conventional groups. However, the interaction between the type of interaction with gender and achiever levels was insignificant. Female students in chemistry who were exposed to topic-specific PCK-based instructional modes showed greater mean and normalized learning gains than their male counterparts in all groups. This resulted in the female students, intervention groups, and achiever levels being enhanced by 19%, 21.3%, and 15% average normalized learning gains, respectively, in chemical kinetics and equilibrium. Therefore, it is recommended that teaching chemical kinetics and equilibrium using topic-specific PCK-based instructional modes is the preferred effective teaching strategy to enhance achievement of students.

description: Developing a clear and applicable mission statement is essential for business schools to obtain AACSB accreditation, and it is also a core embodiment of their ability to achieve sustained excellence. By the end of 2023, a total of 48 business schools in mainland China have been accredited by AACSB, which has a positive modelling effect on the development of a larger number of business schools in the same cultural context and also seeks transformational breakthroughs. This research explores how these 48 AACSB-accredited business schools promote their own survival, growth and profitability through high-frequency word counts and textual analyses of their mission statements. It is found that these business schools have made the cultivation of social leaders and business talents their foundation; they have made continuous innovation, integration and dissemination of business knowledge their core objectives, and have promoted social progress through active participation in regional and industry development. These initiatives have been reinforced and improved by the business schools’ philosophy and practices of being ‘open to the world, rooted in China.’ While many business schools are mimetically isomorphic in the structural form of mission statements, some have begun to adapt their mission with nuanced articulations. This adaptation reflects their consideration of their development paths, though such collective shifts still require time. As one of the few studies focusing on mission statements of business schools in mainland China, this paper summarizes an ‘inverted triangle’ development model of Chinese business schools, and provides detailed information and irreplaceable cases on this topic.

Telmatoscopus Eaton, 1904: 58. Type species: Pericoma advena Eaton, 1893, by subsequent designation of Quate (1965) = Sciria Enderlein, 1935: 247. Type species: Pericoma advena Eaton, 1893, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Frons and clypeus clearly separate, not protruding over eye margin; flagellomeres asymmetrically nodiform, with paired, curved, leaf-shaped to digitiform ascoids; flagellomere 13 with elongate neck, flagellomere 14 with elongate apiculus; R2+3 not connected to R4; apex of R5 ending in apex of wing; basiphallus narrow in dorsal view and distally ending in two short branches with membranous connection to distiphallus; distiphallus composed of paired, symmetrical phallomeres; aedeagal complex encapsuled in parameral sheath, parameral sclerites separate, usually slightly curved in dorsal and ventral views, usually narrow, arranged transversely near bases of phallomeres; surstylus with indistinctly fringed tenacula; epandrium with single aperture.
Species included:
Telmatoscopus advena (Eaton, 1893)
Telmatoscopus dendrophilus Vaillant, 1983
Telmatoscopus laurencei Freeman, 1953
Telmatoscopus pappi (Wagner, 1979)

Telmatoscopus tanegashimensis (Ježek & Mogi, 1995) comb. nov. Telmatoscopus thuringicus Beran, Doczkal, Pfister & Wagner, 2010
Discussion. The definition of the advena group as distinct from other Telmatoscopus auct. was first pointed out by Vaillant (1989), and followed upon by Ježek & Mogi (1995). Due to the latter authors' incorrect assertion that Pericoma morula is available for type species designation in Telmatoscopus, however, they used the name Sciria Enderlein, 1935 for the advena group. Some authors, e.g. Salmela (2005) and Svensson (2009) followed this arrangement; however, since Pericoma advena is the type species of both Telmatoscopus and Sciria, the latter name falls as an objective junior synonym. For the taxa similar to Pericoma morula, the name Seoda Enderlein, 1935 is available (type species Pericoma labeculosa, see below).

description: This article provides a case-based critical reflection on integrating transdisciplinary knowledge in entrepreneurship education as a framework for empowering future entrepreneurs and innovators . The increased complexity of modern societies emphasizes new requirements for teaching practices intended to equip decision-makers with the tools necessary for navigating poly-crises and contributing to the sustainability of coupled systems. This requires an interplay between inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge aimed at developing a common body of knowledge within a specific domain. Within our educational case study, we used a transdisciplinary approach to design and implement a curriculum for enhancing complexity literacy and systems thinking. . The specific learning outcomes can be categorized by referring to the qualification framework of knowledge–skills–competence that fosters an understanding of dynamic coupled systems . Our research shows the potential of transdisciplinary knowledge integration as part of a sustainable education for empowering future entrepreneurs and innovators. The analysis’s results have implications for research and practice that incorporate such integration as part of transitioning to a new institutional framework at universities. Developing new, viable approaches to education has social implications that can be regarded as interventions targeted at achieving systemic impacts while enhancing the sustainability of education and society as a whole.
The psycho-social implications of institutional hierarchy: an exploratory study into Chinese doctoral graduates’ engagement in career planning for non-academic employment

description: Within high-participation systems of higher education such as China, the value of degrees is divided between credentials offering relatively high positional value and those offering less value. With that, institutional hierarchy plays a significant role in shaping graduate employability. This paper illustrates the contrasting experiences of two Chinese female doctoral graduates from universities associated with distinct reputational statuses in planning and strategizing for post-graduation employment outside academia, with particular focus on the psycho-social implications of institutional hierarchy and its manifestation at an intimate level as emotionally-charged perceptions and practices. Drawing upon the extended conceptualization of habitus as the theoretical lens, the analysis illuminates that the internalized institutional hierarchy contains a set of emotional attachments aligned with the reputational statuses of graduates’ own universities that are deposited in their habitus. Individual feeling, thinking and practices are thus connected, shaping graduates’ perceptions of themselves as a graduate job seeker and their relative chances of success in the job competition, and the subsequent practices of planning and preparation for post-PhD careers.

Balancing efficiencies and tradeoffs in epidemiological field studies : evaluating EMG exposure assessment for low back injury risk factors in heavy industry
Creators: name: Trask, Catherine Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: In order to investigate the etiology of and evaluate interventions for work-related back injuries, researchers need efficient, accurate occupational exposure assessment methods suitable for large samples. The chapters in this thesis examine critical decisions using electromyography (EMG): How should exposure be measured? For what duration? Who should be measured, and how many times? Low-back EMG, or muscle activity data, was collected during 138 full-shift field measurements over 30 different job titles at 50 different worksites in 5 heavy industries: forestry, transportation, wood products, construction, and warehousing. Observations and self-reports of posture, manual materials handling (MMH), and driving exposures were collected concurrently. 1) Variability of EMG calibration measurements was investigated on right/left sides, multiple trials, 4 positions, and pre/post-shift. Position accounts for the majority of explained variability; there is little to gain by measuring multiple trials or pre- and post-shift, but measuring both sides and multiple positions is worthwhile. 2) Observation and self-report data were easier to collect and cheaper than the EMG direct measure. Costs and successful field performance need to be weighed against the added data detail when making choices about exposure assessment techniques for epidemiological studies. 3) Observed and self-reported exposures were used to predict EMG exposure metrics using mixed multiple linear regression models. Regression models using observed variables predicted 43-50% of the variability in the EMG metrics, while self-reported variables predicted 21%-36%. The observation exposure model provides a low-cost alternative to direct measurement. The self-reported exposure model should be considered with more caution. 4) Full-shift EMG data was resampled for 4, 2, and 1 hour, and for 10 and 2 minute durations to determine the optimal sampling duration. Bias was consistently low, but shorter durations had higher absolute error, percentage error, and limits of agreement. Durations of 4 and 2 hours may be acceptable but those less than 1 hour had large errors. 5) Components of EMG variance were calculated between- and within-subject, and between- industry, company, job, and post hoc grouping. Resolution, contrast, and exposure-response relationship attenuation were calculated for each grouping scheme. The post hoc scheme had the highest contrast and lowest resolution.

description: This research explores the impact of integrating Reflective Pedagogy within Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT), framed by the TPACK model, on enhancing mathematics proficiency in Rwandan Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs). The study involved 433 Year 2 TTC students in the Science and Mathematics Education program using a quasi-experimental design. Reflective Pedagogy was incorporated into MKT through structured lesson planning, observation, and feedback. Data collection included pre-and post-tests, teacher training, and item analyses of a mathematics performance test. Results indicated significant score improvements for both groups, with the experimental group excelling in algebraic expressions, probability, and mathematical modeling. Notably, the control group showed higher proficiency in understanding the inverse of a function, suggesting varying pedagogical impacts across mathematical concepts. Findings underscore the potential of MKT Reflective Pedagogy to enhance mathematics proficiency, offering insights for educational practitioners and policymakers in Rwanda and beyond. Targeted TPACK and Reflective Pedagogy training for TTC tutors is essential to foster innovative teaching approaches aligning with the goals of 21st-century education.

Drinking straws and shaman melodies: a historical and analytical study of the taepyeongso
Creators: name: Francis, Aaron
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This paper is about the taepyeongso (also known as hojoek, saenap, nallari), a Korean double-reed instrument closely related to the Chinese suona and a descendent of the Persian zurna. The instrument is examined from a number of perspectives: historical, theoretical, practical, and personal. For historians and musicologists, I compile core background information about the instrument from a variety of key sources; for amateur players and avid listeners, I attempt to provide new avenues for theoretical understanding and analytical inquiry. My own experience as a participant in learning the music in Korea serves as a backdrop to later analyses of melodic forms and structures from the taepyeongso “folk” repertoire. The repertoire may be divided into main three regional styles: neunggye (or gyeong-tori) in the central regions, sinawi in the southwest, and menari in the east. I examine each of these styles in relation to Korean theoretical perspectives on mode and melody. I then focus on gyeong-tori melodies, demonstrating through transcription and analysis of commercial recordings four characteristic approaches to variation and improvisation. In addition to musical analysis, I provide short biographies of important performers, a catalogue of performance contexts, and basic background to the instrument’s construction and playing technique.

description: This paper seeks to develop and validate the parental behavior scale by applying the theory of social constructivism. The study explores the main components of this parental behavior scale and verifies the validity of the scale. The relationship between the developed scale and related variables are also analyzed. A preliminary survey was conducted with 1,021 children and 78 classroom teachers in the Republic of Korea. To validate the developed scale, the main survey collected data from 1,674 children and 102 classroom teachers. The findings, based on a 24-item parental behavior scale, indicate the following four factors: instructional teaching (five items), mutual respect and cooperation (seven items), reflection orientation (six items), and autonomy encouragement (six items). A reliability analysis of the parental behavior scale indicated all four components were above the baseline value of 0.8, ensuring stable reliability and validity. This study takes a new approach to parenting research by applying the theory of social constructivism to the development of a parental behavior scale from the perspective of the mutual development of parents and children. This study contributes to filling the gap in knowledge style of child rearing based on social constructivism for the mutual development of parents and children in the field. This paper is a study in which the parental behavior scale is newly applied by applying social constructivism theory. In recent years, the style of parenting has moved from a parent-centered approach in which the parent is responsible for transferring values to the child-centered approach that seeks to engage children in voluntary activities to a perspective aimed at encouraging the mutual development and growth of parents and children. This study offers a fresh outlook on parental behavior by developing a parental behavior scale based on the theory of social constructivism. To verify the developed scale, we collected data from the actual field. The results of the study ensured stable reliability and validity of the scale. The point of this study is that by applying social constructivism theory, it suggests a new approach to the development of parental behavior scales from the point of view of mutual development of parents and children. This scale is expected to be valuable in providing practical direction and guidance for parenting.

description: The study examined the effectiveness of concept mapping in improving students’ academic performance using an embedded mixed-methods design. It involved Srinka Secondary School’s grade 10 biology teacher, students, and department head in the study and gathered data from them by using biology achievement tests, interviews, and focus group discussions. The collected data was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively, and it revealed that concept mapping was more effective in teaching cell division than the lecture method, but challenges include practitioners’ lack of background experience, time constraints, students’ absenteeism, and weak teacher support, which affected concept mapping implementation. Training practitioners, learners’ regular attendance and use of context-based materials, time management, and teachers’ artistic teaching approaches were suggested as solution strategies. Therefore, responsible bodies are required to create a conducive instructional environment that can scale up practitioners’ concept mapping and practice initiatives.
