Creators: name: DARUWALA, BURHANUDDIN
Publisher: name: American University of Bahrain
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 39
subject: Education

description: Employee productivity has been affected significantly during COVID-19 that has led to the implementation of Work From Home (WFH), especially in the educational sector in Bahrain and other regions. In this study, a mixed-method approach is applied in formulating the questionnaire based on the research questions as well as hypothesis to assess the relationship between e-leadership, employee motivation, technology and the impact of it on the overall employee productivity at senior private schools in Bahrain. The population in this study are the teachers of these senior private schools educating IB and GCSE/A-LEVELS students is numerous private schools in Bahrain. Random sample technique was used in this study. Data was collected through online surveys filled by teachers and the validity as well as reliability of the collected data was tested via Cronbach-alpha test and pilot study. Regression was carried out as part of analysis to show the significance/insignificance of the impact of independent variables on the dependent variable. The results of this study as per regression analysis indicates that there is insignificant effect of e-leadership, work motivation, and technology on employee productivity. However, qualitative results indicate significant effect. The implications of these study include lack of data and inadequate number of responses from the respondents. The findings indicate that private educational institutions, specifically senior private schools should be paying attention towards the aspects of e-leadership, motivation, and technology in order to attain employee productivity to an optimum level when working remotely during COVID-19.

description: Social media is continuously increasing in popularity and relevance. According to a 2019 Pew Research poll, soon the average person will spend more time on social media than watching TV (Figure 1)​. With data like that in mind, the aim for this project is to show how a local news station can use Facebook and Twitter to effectively engage with consumers, strengthen the connection a station has with its audience, and bring more viewers to watch newscasts on live television. Those who work in television understand the power of the internet and social media in journalism. This project will be a guide of what works on Facebook and Twitter that in turn works for news stations. The power and influence of the digital realm will not get weaker anytime soon. This project collected research from academics and applied those findings to success on TV. Figure  1:  2018  data  shows  that  TV  and  online  are  the  top  sources  for  local  news  in America  (pewresearch.org)

description: Theory predicts peculiar features for excited-state dynamics in one dimension (1D) that are difficult to be observed experimentally. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are an excellent approximation to 1D quantum confinement, due to their very high aspect ratio and low density of defects. Here we use ultrafast optical spectroscopy to probe photogenerated charge-carriers in (6,5) semiconducting SWNTs. We identify the transient energy shift of the highly polarizable S33 transition as a sensitive fingerprint of charge-carriers in SWNTs. By measuring the coherent phonon amplitude profile we obtain a precise estimate of the Stark-shift and discuss the binding energy of the S33 excitonic transition. From this, we infer that charge-carriers are formed instantaneously with sizable quantum yield even upon pumping the first exciton, S11. The decay of the photogenerated charge-carrier population is well described by a model for geminate recombination in 1D, suggesting an initial charge carrier separation of the same order of the exciton correlation length.

We consider a triangular array such that each row is a list of $n$ strongly correlated random variables. The correlations are preserved even when $n\to\infty$, since the standard central limit theorem does not hold for this array. We show that, if we choose a fixed number $m

CRISPR/Cas9

description: Stay-green is a valuable trait in crop breeding that enables plants to delay senescence during grain-filling under post-anthesis drought stress. In sorghum, expression of stay-green is a consequence of regulation of the water supply and demand framework through modulation of plant canopy and root architecture. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms regulating stay-green remain elusive. Several quantitative trait loci (QTL) and fine-mapping studies have identified members of the PIN-FORMED (PIN) family of auxin efflux carriers as potential candidates that can modulate plant architecture to express the stay-green phenotype. SbPIN1, SbPIN2 and SbPIN4 have been identified as key candidates within the stay-green QTLs of Stg3b, Stg2 and Stg1, respectively. Gene expression and physiological studies have demonstrated that SbPIN1, SbPIN2 and SbPIN4 were expressed in a tissue-specific manner during early tillering and floral initiation, while overexpressing SbPIN1, SbPIN2 and SbPIN4 individually with their native promoters conferred distinct physiological changes, both above- and below-ground. The overexpression (OE) of SbPIN2 and SbPIN4 has greater impacts relative to SbPIN1 on influencing tillering, leaf size, leaf vein density, photosynthesis, panicle architecture, nodal root numbers and root biomass. Interestingly, a case study using CRISPR/Cas9 demonstrated the knockdown of SbPIN1 and SbPIN4 significantly increased leaf size without changing tillering and other canopy and root traits. Transcriptome studies suggested that Stg1 introgression influenced auxin and cytokinin homeostasis, whereas genes in monolignol biosynthesis were upregulated. Introgression of Stg2 had minimal impact on global gene expression during floral initiation. Transcriptome profiles of SbPIN1, SbPIN2 and SbPIN4 OE transgenics revealed putative genes with known orthologous functions in plant development as potential editing targets for modifying plant architecture without altering native expression of SbPINs. Determining the effects from these transgenic approaches will facilitate the design of stacked vectors for customising plant architecture of food crops to adapt to drought-prone environments.

description: In this thesis project, there are different layers of amateur mixed martial arts that I will explore and document. I want to understand how an amateur fighter overcomes the fear of uncertainty in their career and in turn, their life. Every time they step foot in an octagon (the MMA fighting ring), they endanger their lives for no money, just recognition. Along the same lines, they have to find sponsors that will help them appear as if they are living a life of luxury when the reality is the opposite. In this film, we will see how one fighter is rationalizing his decision to partake in the sport, balancing his passion for it and his desire to provide a better life for himself and his family, and we will follow his journey into the unknown.

BEST statistics of Markovian fluxes: a tale of Eulerian tours and Fermionic ghosts

description: We provide an exact expression for the statistics of the fluxes of Markov jump processes at all times, improving on asymptotic results from large deviation theory. The main ingredient is a generalization of the BEST theorem in enumeratoric graph theory to Eulerian tours with open ends. In the long-time limit we reobtain Sanov's theorem for Markov processes, which expresses the exponential suppression of fluctuations in terms of relative entropy. The finite-time power-law term, increasingly important with the system size, is a spanning-tree determinant that, by introducing Grassmann variables, can be absorbed into the effective Lagrangian of a Fermionic ghost field on a metric space, coupled to a gauge potential. With reference to concepts in nonequilibrium stochastic thermodynamics, the metric is related to the dynamical activity that measures net communication between states, and the connection is made to a previous gauge theory for diffusion processes.

Walking the Talk: Authenticity as Brand Differentiation In Green Marketing And Sustainability Communication
Creators: name: Monmoine, Stephanie Laura
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021
Subjects: Corporations--Auditing
Interviews

description: Authenticity has been described by marketing researchers as the cornerstone of contemporary marketing, and this is especially relevant to green marketing. As concern for the environment has become so widespread, consumer preferences have driven companies to market their brands and products as environmentally responsible, a practice known as green marketing. The resulting green messaging often ends up being vague, unsubstantiated, or intentionally crafted to mislead through a marketing practice called greenwashing. Diamond Brand Gear (DBG) is an American outdoor gear brand that was established over a century ago. DBG’s website was updated in 2020 to include new green marketing to communicate its Triple Bottom Line approach to sustainability (equally prioritizing people, planet, and prosperity) to consumers. For green marketing to elicit the desired behaviors in consumers (increased brand loyalty and purchase intention), consumers must first trust that they have been made authentically by attributing them to public-serving motives instead of self-serving motives. Using a green communication audit and in-depth interviews, this research evaluates how sustainability’s role at DBG can be more authentically communicated in alignment with its traditional brand messaging and offerings. Deliverables include (a) a sustainability roadmap, which identifies strategies and guidelines for DBG to embed and communicate sustainability in the most authentic way possible and (b) a PowerPoint presentation that can be used to educate employees internally about DBG’s approach to sustainability.

description: Due to the simultaneous presence of bulk-like and interfacial fluctuations the understanding of the structure of liquid-vapour interfaces poses a long-lasting and ongoing challenge for experiments, theory, and simulations. We provide a new analysis of this topic by combining high-quality simulation data for Lennard-Jones fluids with an unambiguous definition of the wavenumber-dependent surface tension $γ(q)$ based on the two-point correlation function of the fluid. Upon raising the temperature, $γ(q)$ develops a maximum at short wavelengths. We compare these results with predictions from density functional theory. Our analysis has repercussions for the interpretation of grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) at liquid interfaces.

description: The scientific discipline "geology" has relied on outcrops as the primary source of information since its beginnings. The initial equipment to analyse the rocks in these outcrops was simple: hammer, hand lens, compass, and diluted HCL. Topographic maps proved useful to find the location of the outcrop. Fieldbooks and material for sketching were – and are – used to document the findings. The documentation was further improved by cameras which became available for everyone in the second part of the 20th century. With the beginning of the 21st century handheld GPS systems became common and hence simplified the localisation. Soon thereafter, smartphones, with their integrated GPS and growing versatility due to a plethora of installable apps unified all the aforementioned analogue tools into one compact device. In the second decade of the 21st century drone-technology became popular. These devices enabled an entirely different view on the outcrops. Structure-from-motion-techniques allow for uncomplicated construction of 3D models. Now, that access to mobile internet is given everywhere (except the Eifel), digital and virtual content can be created and accessed everywhere. The smartphone app OutcropWizard combines all the recent advances in technological development. The basic approach of OutcropWizard is to show and geological highlights worldwide and to enable everybody to contribute content to this project. Even though a smartphone can fulfil most of the tasks, it still cannot replace a hammer. We suggest being loyal to our tradition and carry this piece of equipment as it has been done since the dawn of geology.

description: With the development of metabolomics analytical techniques, relevant studies have increased in recent decades. The procedures of metabolomics analysis mainly include sample preparation, data acquisition and pre-processing, multivariate statistical analysis, as well as maker compounds’ identification. In the present review, we summarized the published articles of tea metabolomics regarding different analytical tools, such as mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet–visible spectrometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. The metabolite variation of fresh tea leaves with different treatments, such as biotic/abiotic stress, horticultural measures, and nutritional supplies was reviewed. Furthermore, the changes of chemical composition of processed tea samples under different processing technologies were also profiled. Since the identification of critical or marker metabolites is a complicated task, we also discussed the procedure of metabolite identification to clarify the importance of omics data analysis. The present review provides a workflow diagram for tea metabolomics research and also the perspectives of related studies in the future

description: We report the results of two multi-chord stellar occultations by the dwarf planet (1) Ceres that were observed from Brazil on 2010 August 17, and from the USA on 2013 October 25. Four positive detections were obtained for the 2010 occultation, and nine for the 2013 occultation. Elliptical models were adjusted to the observed chords to obtain Ceres' size and shape. Two limb fitting solutions were studied for each event. The first one is a nominal solution with an indeterminate polar aspect angle. The second one was constrained by the pole coordinates as given by Drummond et al. Assuming a Maclaurin spheroid, we determine an equatorial diameter of 972 $\pm$ 6 km and an apparent oblateness of 0.08 $\pm$ 0.03 as our best solution. These results are compared to all available size and shape determinations for Ceres made so far, and shall be confirmed by the NASA's Dawn space mission.

description: This project examines the impact of various local, regional, and national publics on Major League Soccer expansion attempts in North Carolina. The project utilized in-depth case studies of Raleigh and Charlotte organizations seeking expansion franchises to identify the various entities impacting each bid process as well as each organization’s ability to identify, prioritize and create successful relationship outcomes with those entities. Fundamental Organization-Public Relations research and parallel studies in city/place branding provided a theoretical background. The project demonstrates the need for organizations to build and showcase successful and supportive relationships with local fans, the corporate community, and municipal bodies. In particular, city government leaders are identified as the most essential and influential enabling linkages in the expansion bid process. The project also identifies local residents’ power to disrupt such organizational efforts affecting their community and suggests prioritizing these relationships as early as possible through proactive communication and collaboration.

description: Digital accessibility and artificial intelligence technologies do not always go hand in hand. This research examines the current digital accessibility and artificial intelligence landscape, evaluating whether AI can provide adequate solutions for existing gaps in accessibility technology. Through a review of the literature that includes both academic and industry research, I highlight four underlying topics: universal accessibility;  disability as an inspiration for design initiatives; artificial intelligence as a solution; and the collaboration of humans and machines. My subsequent research included a  survey to investigate the junction of digital accessibility and artificial intelligence; a prototype for a  potential technology solution; and three articles summarizing the findings.  Twenty-two individuals who self-identified as either having a  visual disability or working in the digital accessibility field participated in the research survey. Of these 22 respondents, four elected to participate in the subsequent interviews and provided feedback on the created prototype.

description: We present a non-diagonal phase field model for phase transformations with unequal but finite diffusivities in the two phases. This model allows to recover the desired boundary conditions at the interface, and especially the elimination of the artificial surface diffusion effect. The model is non-diagonal since it incorporates the kinetic cross coupling between the non-conserved and the conserved fields that was recently introduced [{Phys. Rev. E {\bf 86}, 060601(R), (2012)}]. We test numerically this model for the two-dimensional relaxation of a weakly perturbed interface toward its flat equilibrium.

The matter in these solutions is created by auxiliary dimensions. The main goal of our work is to study physically sensible characteristics, which could be observable. Study of the perturbed equations demonstrates their stability under linear perturbations. The specific combinations of the parameters, permitting to construct black hole-like objects with one or two horizons or naked singularities are determined. Stable orbits of test particles around these black holes are presented. We show the exotic thermodynamical properties of the solution, when the Hawking evaporation law has the behavior opposite to usual one in General Relativity.

description: The project “DeDNAed” intends to develop a novel, innovative biosensing platform whose advantages and benefits are in terms of sensitivity, versatility and being ultrafast by an optical approach. Our platform will be based on the assembly and integration of sensing elements (transducer and bioreceptor) by DNA origami. The DNA origami will serve as a “nano-breadboard” in order to precisely control the position of these elements and thus the sensor architecture at the nanometer scale. This poster, presented at the University of Potsdam Science Day 11 October 2022, presents the structure of the project and the innovative bioanalytical platform specifically.

description: We consider a system of $N$ disordered mean-field interacting diffusions within spatial constraints: each particle $θ_i$ is attached to one site $x_i$ of a periodic lattice and the interaction between particles $θ_i$ and $θ_j$ decreases as $| x_i-x_j|^{-α}$ for $α\in[0,1)$. In a previous work, it was shown that the empirical measure of the particles converges in large population to the solution of a nonlinear partial differential equation of McKean-Vlasov type. The purpose of the present paper is to study the fluctuations associated to this convergence. We exhibit in particular a phase transition in the scaling and in the nature of the fluctuations: when $α\in[0,\frac{1}{2})$, the fluctuations are Gaussian, governed by a linear SPDE, with scaling $\sqrt{N}$ whereas the fluctuations are deterministic with scaling $N^{1-α}$ in the case $α\in(\frac{1}{2},1)$.

description: The purpose of this thesis project is to explore how Black creators can dispel stereotypes by owning their narratives on social media and create community in the process.  Various social media marketing strategies were tested on the Instagram page for the podcast I co-host, So-Called Oreos, throughout this project. The results of this thesis indicated that while Black creators can use social media platforms to their advantage and actively participate in the reshaping of false narratives around Blackness by creating and owning content, the structure of apps make it extremely difficult for them to thrive in these spaces.  While Instagram has made efforts to eliminate biases exposed through its algorithm, Black creators are still harder to find within the app and its limited means of multiway communication making strong community building unrealistic. Implications for this thesis project are that Black creators can effectively address and examine stereotypes on social media, but collective learning and community building will take place outside these apps.

description: We derive a universal model for atom pairs interacting with non-resonant light via the polarizability anisotropy, based on the long range properties of the scattering. The corresponding dynamics can be obtained using a nodal line technique to solve the asymptotic Schrödinger equation. It consists in imposing physical boundary conditions at long range and vanishing of the wavefunction at a position separating inner zone and asymptotic region. We show that nodal lines which depend on the intensity of the non-resonant light can satisfactorily account for the effect of the polarizability at short range. The approach allows to determine the resonance structure, energy, width, channel mixing and hybridization even for narrow resonances.

description: Most studies aiming at unraveling the molecular events associated with cardiac congenital heart disease (CHD) have focused on the effect of mutations occurring in the nuclear genome. In recent years, a significant role has been attributed to mitochondria for correct heart development and maturation of cardiomyocytes. Moreover, numerous heart defects have been associated with nucleotide variations occurring in the mitochondrial genome, affecting mitochondrial functions and cardiac energy metabolism, including genes encoding for subunits of respiratory chain complexes. Therefore, mutations in the mitochondrial genome may be a major cause of heart disease, including CHD, and their identification and characterization can shed light on pathological mechanisms occurring during heart development. Here, we have analyzed mitochondrial genetic variants in previously reported mutational genome hotspots and the flanking regions of mt-ND1, mt-ND2, mt-COXI, mt-COXII, mt-ATPase8, mt-ATPase6, mt-COXIII, and mt-tRNAs (Ile, Gln, Met, Trp, Ala, Asn, Cys, Tyr, Ser, Asp, and Lys) encoding genes by polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) in 200 patients with CHD, undergoing cardiac surgery. A total of 23 mitochondrial variations (5 missense mutations, 8 synonymous variations, and 10 nucleotide changes in tRNA encoding genes) were identified and included 16 novel variants. Additionally, we showed that intracellular ATP was significantly reduced (P=0.002) in CHD patients compared with healthy controls, suggesting that the mutations have an impact on mitochondrial energy production. Functional and structural alterations caused by the mitochondrial nucleotide variations in the gene products were studied in-silico and predicted to convey a predisposing risk factor for CHD. Further studies are necessary to better understand the mechanisms by which the alterations identified in the present study contribute to the development of CHD in patients.

description: With the beginnings of VR being severely disputed, mainly because of the difficulty of defining what VR is1, we are entering an era where VR usage is becoming more mainstream. Despite being used since the ’70s for military applications 2 and entertainment alike 4, the technology is becoming more accessible and useful for the regular consumer, with new head-mounted displays (HMDs) being launched every year or so and novel experiences being developed regularly ranging from immersive games to interactive movies. Clearly, the potential for VR will be only limited by one’s imagination. As one of the main applications for VR is the ability to transport oneself to anywhere the mind can think of, being able to relive history and experience it for yourself is an unparalleled way of learning for school. With that in mind, we created a way to experience one of U.S.A.’s longest standing mysteries: The Lost Colony of Roanoke.

description: In today’s digital age, people use websites at an increasing rate to gather information before making purchase decisions. Parents use  websites to learn about how to spend time and money on their  children, like club  sports, so local traveling sports clubs need to have a welcoming website. Because such clubs are often nonprofits, they do  not have the same resources to spend on developing a website that  major businesses do. But an aesthetically pleasing and usable website is just as important  for sports clubs. This  study  aims  to  assess the aesthetics and  design  complexity’s effects on the perceptions of the website for Chapel Hill Area Volleyball Club, a nonprofit volleyball club for teenaged girls in  Chapel  Hill, North  Carolina. To  conduct  the  assessment, usability testing was used, in which representative users of the CHAVC website completed representative tasks and evaluated the website by completing a survey and answering interview questions. Coding the usability tests on a priori method guided by theory and  evidence based on web aesthetics, design complexity, and usability revealed aesthetics, functional and content based issues with the CHAVC website. Recommendations to improve the website based on these findings are produced in the form of a presentation. The results  of this study highlight the value organizations  can realize from better understanding their target audience. Usability testing with the right  target audience is an effective way to learn more about them.

description: In pursuance of sustainable development, the new global focus on clean energy sources over the past 50 years has put mandates on countries to shift their consumption towards various new and clean sources. Developed countries were able to adapt swiftly to those mandates, and many have become pioneers in renewable energy and technologies, with a substantial portion of their electricity mix coming from clean energy sources in recent years (IEA, 2021). However, developing countries did not have the economic infrastructure to adopt clean energy sources as fast. Several studies investigated the impact of total assets on ROE, and the impact of renewable energy consumption on the financial performance of renewable energy companies to prove the significance of the relationships, but the studies within the industry and on developing countries are limited. This paper analyzes the impact of the companies’ asset size and renewable energy consumption, on the financial performance of renewable energy companies in selected countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The study covers four MENA countries; Saudi Arabia, Oman, Tunisia, and Turkey. Additionally, data is extracted for four developed countries: Norway, Hong Kong, Germany, and Switzerland. The developed countries’ data is used to compare the impact of total assets and renewable energy consumption between developed and developing countries. Using annual data that covers the period 2012-2021, the impact of the size of clean energy companies and renewable energy consumption on the financial performance of the clean energy industry in MENA countries will be analyzed. The study is conducted through a panel analysis of secondary quantitative data. To do so, the data is investigated and modelled through fixed effects and random effects model, before examining the data through Feasible Least Squares (FGLS) Test. The outcome of this paper sheds light on the significance that the variables have on the growth of the renewable energy industry, and the progress MENA countries have made towards clean energy. Sustainable development is an important steppingstone for all countries, and this paper will aid policy makers put economic policies in place.

description: The purpose of this thesis was to conduct formative research to better understand the perceived barriers, benefits, beliefs, and attitudes about tiny houses among policymakers, specifically members of county Boards of Commissioners in the Triangle region. This stakeholder group plays an important gatekeeping role in the current THM. Unless zoning policies change, limited availability of tiny houses will continue. Findings from this research informed recommendations for a social marketing campaign to encourage local policymakers in the Triangle to propose changes in zoning codes and to advocate for tiny houses as affordable housing.
