description: English Learners (ELs) represent one of the fastest-growing groups among the school-age population in the United States. However, there have been significant achievement gaps between ELs and native English-speaking students in all grades and content areas. The gap only widens when EL students with a disability are considered. This study built on the existing literature by examining longitudinal data that tracked the academic achievement outcomes of ELs classified with an educational disability who attended three special education instructional programs rather than linguistic instructional programs, and evaluating whether these programs were differentially effective for students of different ethnic backgrounds and type of disability. The programs included General Education (GE), Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) or Collaborative Team Teaching (TT), and Special Education classes (SE).
      Using existing data from the New York City Department of Education, the analytic sample for this study looked at one cohort consisting of approximately 2,297 ELs who entered third grade during the 2006-2007 school year and followed them through the 2015-2016 school year when students were expected to be in the twelfth grade. Academic achievement in ELA and math were measured by the Grade 3-8 New York State ELA and math standardized exam scores. Achievement was also measured by graduation status as well as type of diploma earned upon projected year of high school completion.
      A three-level linear mixed model (LMM), logistic regression modeling, and cross-tabulations were used to analyze the dataset. Overall, the results from the present study supported findings from previous studies indicating that students who have the opportunity to engage with typically developing peers display better long-term academic achievement outcomes. Nonetheless, consistent with prior research, increased gaps between ELs and non-ELs as well as Disabled students and their Non-Disabled peers were noted.

description: The properties of European wind storms under present climate conditions are estimated on the basis of surface wind forecasts from the European Center of Medium- Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) Ensemble Prediction System (EPS). While the EPS 5 is designed to provide forecast information of the range of possible weather developments starting from the observed state of weather, we use its archive in a climatological context. It provides a large number of modifications of observed storm events, and includes storms that did not occur in reality. Thus it is possible to create a large sample of storm events, which entirely originate from a physically consistent model, 10 whose ensemble spread represents feasible alternative storm realizations of the covered period. This paper shows that the huge amount of identifiable events in the EPS is applicable to reduce uncertainties in a wide range of fields of research focusing on winter storms. Wind storms are identified and tracked in this study over their lifetime using an algorithm, based on the local exceedance of the 98th percentile of instanta15 neous 10m wind speed, calculating a storm severity measure. After removing inhomogeneities in the dataset arising from major modifications of the operational system, the distributions of storm severity, storm size and storm duration are computed. The overall principal properties of the homogenized EPS storm data set are in good agreement with storms from the ERA-Interim dataset, making it suitable for climatological investi20 gations of these extreme events. A demonstrated benefit in the climatological context by the EPS is presented. It gives a clear evidence of a linear increase of maximum storm intensity and wind field size with storm duration. This relation is not recognizable from a sparse ERA- Interim sample for long lasting events, as the number of events in the reanalysis is not sufficient to represent these characteristics.

description: Worldwide uneven health outcomes based on race/ethnicity is a well-documented phenomenon and conversations relating to health disparities are well underway. In the United States, rates of new infections of HIV among African American and Hispanic men who have sex with men (MSM) have realized an upward trend over the past decade whilst rates among other demographic groups have realized noteworthy declines. The present study presents a quantitative analysis of sexual health communication and behavioral indicators with a view toward identifying whether African American and Hispanic MSM engage in fundamentally different sexual health communication and behaviors such that the divergent trends in new infections of HIV make sense. Through a series of descriptive, chi-square, binary and ordinal logistic statistical methods, the degree to which sexual health communication and behaviors differed between groups of respondents in the New York City area were analyzed. The results showed a significant divergence in sexual health communication and behavior, based on race/ethnicity, education, age and other indicators. In the overall sample (n = 212), African American and Hispanic MSM were found to be significantly less likely to adhere to HIV medication regimens, use protection, ask about partners’ HIV status and disclose their own HIV status compared to members of other racial/ethnic groups. Other similarly significant findings suggested a need to address the underlying causes of divergent sexual health communication and health maintenance-related behaviors that contribute to disproportionality in new infections of HIV among African American and Hispanic MSM.

An Examination of Social Persuasion's Influence on Generalized Leader Efficacy
Creators: Banks, Bernard Bennett
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Social psychology

description: This dissertation examined social persuasion's influence on leader efficacy. Hannah, Avolio, Luthans, and Harms (2008) proposed that the levels of leadership self-efficacy held by a leader are critical in promoting heightened levels of leader adaptability, positivity, and performance. Consequently, Hannah et al. proposed a framework for leader and leadership efficacy. Included in the model was a dyadic behaviors linkage between leader efficacy and follower efficacy. The linkage reflects Bandura's (1997) conception of self-efficacy being subject to influence by four methods, one of which is social persuasion. Scholars have conducted little empirical work to validate Hannah et al.'s framework for influencing leader efficacy. However, this dissertation empirically tested Hannah et al.'s framework by crafting an experiment designed to isolate social persuasion's influence on Generalized Leader Efficacy (GLE). GLE is conceptualized as a dynamic self-concept based structure representing leaders' (and followers') level of efficacy for self-regulation, action and means across a span of leader tasks. Drawing on self efficacy, leader efficacy and mentorship literatures, a model and methodology were proposed to examine the effect of social persuasion on GLE.

description: Studies have recently reported statistically significant relationships between observed year-to-year spring Antarctic ozone variability and the Southern Hemisphere annular mode and surface temperatures in spring–summer. This study investigates whether current chemistry–climate models (CCMs) can capture these relationships, in particular, the connection between November total column ozone (TCO) and Australian summer surface temperatures, where years with anomalously high TCO over the Antarctic polar cap tend to be followed by warmer summers. The interannual ozone–temperature teleconnection is examined over the historical period in the observations and simulations from the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) and nine other models participating in the Chemistry–Climate Model Initiative (CCMI). There is a systematic difference between the WACCM experiments forced with prescribed observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and those with an interactive ocean. Strong correlations between TCO and Australian temperatures are only obtained for the uncoupled experiment, suggesting that the SSTs could be important for driving both variations in Australian temperatures and the ozone hole, with no causal link between the two. Other CCMI models also tend to capture this relationship with more fidelity when driven by observed SSTs, although additional research and targeted modeling experiments are required to determine causality and further explore the role of model biases and observational uncertainty. The results indicate that CCMs can reproduce the relationship between spring ozone and summer Australian climate reported in observational studies, suggesting that incorporating ozone variability could improve seasonal predictions; however, more work is required to understand the difference between the coupled and uncoupled simulations.

description: A multiplicative cascade model called High‐resolution Downscaling of Rainfall Using Short‐Term Ensemble Prediction System (HiDRUS) is developed and tested in the greater Melbourne region (Australia) by downscaling coarse‐resolution ERA‐I rainfall to 1‐km horizontal and 6‐min temporal resolutions. The parameters required for the cascade model are computed from radar observations of rain events during 2008–2015, and a library of rainfall events and their associated synoptic conditions created. Each day, the area‐averaged rainfall and synoptic conditions are taken from ERA‐I and compared with the library. From the library, similar days are chosen randomly and downscaled using the cascade model. Ensembles of 100 realizations per day are produced for the period 1995–2004. The downscaled rainfall is compared with 6‐min rain gauges and daily gridded rain gauge data at four locations in the greater Melbourne region. HiDRUS reproduces the monthly variability of rainfall, frequency distribution of daily and 6‐min rainfall, and the autocorrelation function satisfactorily. Changes in heavy rainfall are also captured by HiDRUS but with increasing uncertainty as the intensities increase.

description: X-ray photoelectron spectra provide a wealth of information on the electronic structure. The extraction of molecular details requires adequate theoretical methods, which in case of transition metal complexes has to account for effects due to the multi-configurational and spin-mixed nature of the many- electron wave function. Here, the restricted active space self-consistent field method including spin-orbit coupling is used to cope with this challenge and to calculate valence- and core-level photoelectron spectra. The intensities are estimated within the frameworks of the Dyson orbital formalism and the sudden approximation. Thereby, we utilize an efficient computational algorithm that is based on a biorthonormal basis transformation. The approach is applied to the valence photoionization of the gas phase water molecule and to the core ionization spectrum of the [Fe(H2O)6]2+ complex. The results show good agreement with the experimental data obtained in this work, whereas the sudden approximation demonstrates distinct deviations from experiments.

description: Transformations towards effective and righteous climate policies, institutions and actions require coherent policies on climate change mitigation and adaptation, from global to local level. In Brazil, most of the GHG emissions come from changes in land use and from the agriculture and livestock sectors. Agro systems and natural systems such forests are connected when we think about climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies and both systems have a key role in supporting transformation towards resilient social- ecological systems. We present a case-study analysis on the Brazilian climate change policy process related to forest, agriculture and livestock. The paper is based on a mix-method approach combining social network analysis (Wasserman and Faust 1994, Scott 2000, Borgatti, Everett and Johnson 2013) and discourse network analysis (Leifeld, 2013) to understand the arrangement of actors according to their discourses and beliefs and according to their interactions with other actors in the climate change policy domain. Our objective is to understand the relationship between discourse and interaction – information exchange and collaboration – networks and how this combination is likely to produce an effect on the policy process towards transformation in the mitigation and adaptation policies in Brazil. The case-study is a result of analysis of 105 interviews gathered in 2014 and 2015, with policy actors from distinct sectors in Brazil.

description: Nonlocality, as demonstrated by the violation of Bell inequalities, enables device-independent cryptographic tasks that do not require users to trust their apparatus. In this article, we consider devices whose inputs are spatiotemporal degrees of freedom, e.g. orientations or time durations. Without assuming the validity of quantum theory, we prove that the devices' statistical response must respect their input's symmetries, with profound foundational and technological implications. We exactly characterize the bipartite binary quantum correlations in terms of local symmetries, indicating a fundamental relation between spacetime and quantum theory. For Bell experiments characterized by two input angles, we show that the correlations are accounted for by a local hidden variable model if they contain enough noise, but conversely must be nonlocal if they are pure enough. This allows us to construct a "Bell witness" that certifies nonlocality with fewer measurements than possible without such spatiotemporal symmetries, suggesting a new class of semi-device-independent protocols for quantum technologies.

description: We report experimental evidences of anomalous kinetic roughening in the stable displacement of an oil-air interface in a Hele-Shaw cell with strong quenched disorder. The disorder consists on a random modulation of the gap spacing transverse to the growth direction (tracks). We have performed experiments varying average interface velocity and gap spacing, and measured the scaling exponents. We have obtained beta=0.50, beta*=0.25, alpha=1.0, alpha_l=0.5, and z=2. When there is no fluid injection, the interface is driven solely by capillary forces, and a higher value of beta around beta=0.65 is measured. The presence of multiscaling and the particular morphology of the interfaces, characterized by high slopes that follow a Lévy distribution, confirms the existence of anomalous scaling. From a detailed study of the motion of the oil--air interface we show that the anomaly is a consequence of different local velocities over tracks plus the coupling in the motion between neighboring tracks. The anomaly disappears at high interface velocities, weak capillary forces, or when the disorder is not sufficiently persistent in the growth direction. We have also observed the absence of scaling when the disorder is very strong or when a regular modulation of the gap spacing is introduced.

description: Death and disposition of remains are universal problems that touch every culture. Although every culture organises and packages dying and death each manages disposition in a different way. When Māori die in Australia it tests the strength of their resolve to be Māori and differentiate between cultural and national identities and their veneer of Australian-ness. This research engages with constructivism, grounded theory and kaupapa Māori frameworks in order to determine factors that influence repatriation of cremated Māori remains to New Zealand. At the core of this research is the attribution of identity to cremated remains (cremains) as it determines how they will be treated and cared for. Interment decisions have significant cultural and economic impacts, but the main contribution of this thesis is these decisions may redefine Māori cultural and spiritual conceptions of deceased and so homelands. Data was collected for a period of six months through an online questionnaire deployed through social media. From this questionnaire eight people self-nominated for in-depth interviews to determine the reasons for their decisions, however only six people provided consent. Interviews were transcribed and coded and organised into themes. Although this is a small sample size and not generalizable, it is indicative and leaves scope for a much broader study. Analysis indicated Māori transmigrants are making decisions about tangihanga (funerals) and interment of cremains under difficult circumstances. All the while they were either disconnected from family, tikanga (cultural protocols) and a society that values deceased or connected to tikanga that was disrupted by the colonial project. As transmigrants, Māori tend to cremate because the cost of burial is too expensive and repatriation of a body is unachievable with a limited disposable income. Interment in either country appears to be determined by the strength of connections to family, kainga (homelands) and ancestors on either side of the Tasman Sea. This generated internal conflict and divided loyalty between both countries. This thesis is about how death practices are disrupted by migration and are forced to evolve. Although difficult, this thesis has determined that people participating in this research attributed an identity and an afterlife to cremains. They are recognised as tūpuna, still protected, watched over, and secreted away to be safe from harm.

description: The twin group $T_n$ is a right angled Coxeter group generated by $n-1$ involutions and the pure twin group $PT_n$ is the kernel of the natural surjection from $T_n$ onto the symmetric group on $n$ symbols. In this paper, we investigate some structural aspects of these groups. We derive a formula for the number of conjugacy classes of involutions in $T_n$, which quite interestingly, is related to the well-known Fibonacci sequence. We also derive a recursive formula for the number of $z$-classes of involutions in $T_n$. We give a new proof of the structure of $\Aut(T_n)$ for $n \ge 3$, and show that $T_n$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of $\Aut(PT_n)$ for $n \geq 4$. Finally, we construct a representation of $T_n$ to $\Aut(F_n)$ for $n \ge 2$.

description: Exoplanet imaging and spectroscopy are now routinely achieved by dedicated instruments on large ground-based observatories (e.g. Gemini/GPI, VLT/SPHERE, or Subaru/SCExAO). In addition to extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) and post-processing methods, these facilities make use of the most advanced coronagraphs to suppress light of an observed star and enable the observation of circumstellar environments. The Apodized Pupil Lyot Coronagraph (APLC) is one of the leading coronagraphic baseline in the current generation of instruments. This concept combines a pupil apodization, an opaque focal plane mask (FPM), and a Lyot stop. APLC can be optimized for a range of applications and designs exist for on-axis segmented aperture telescopes at $10^{10}$ contrast in broadband light. In this communication, we propose novel designs to push the limits of this concept further by modifying the nature of the FPM from its standard opaque mask to a smaller size occulting spot surrounded by circular phase shifting zones. We present the formalism of this new concept which solutions find two possible applications: 1) upgrades for the current generation of ExAO coronagraphs since these solutions remain compatible with the existing designs and will provide better inner working angle, contrast and throughput, and 2) coronagraphy at $10^{10}$ contrast for future flagship missions such as LUVOIR, with the goal to increase the throughput of the existing designs for the observation of Earth-like planets around nearby stars.

 Distribution. Angola, Benin, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Senegal, Togo, Yemen, Zimbabwe. First record from Socotra Island.
 Comments. Socotran specimens differ markedly from those from mainland Africa: prescutellar lobes are much less markedly convex, are covered with dense pale yellowish (instead of pure white) setation, and elytral vestiture is much less contrasted (almost uniformly pale fulvous in some specimens). Such differences in external morphology would possibly justify a separation at species level. Examination of male genitalia however shows that the aedeagus of Socotran specimens is perfectly identical with that of specimens from East Africa. The median pair of dented sclerites in the internal sac is clearly different in specimens from West Africa, so that populations from Socotra appear more closely related with Kenyan than with West African populations.
 Callosobruchus rhodesianus is a well-known pest of cowpeas, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. (Fabaceae: Phaseoleae: Phaseolinae), both in the field and in stores. According to TUDA et al. (2006), its wild populations favour dry areas with a long dry season, which explains the ability of this species to use dry and hard beans as a food source. It is also recorded from another Phaseolinae, Nesphostylis holosericea (Welw. ex Baker) Verdc. (GILLON et al. 1992), but its larvae can also attack members of the subtribe Cajaninae such as Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. AMEVOIN et al. (2005) showed that C. rhodesianus populations are outcompeted by Callosobruchus maculatus when both species coexist in the same stored seeds.

Charged rosettes at high and low ionic strengths

description: The complexation between a semiflexible polyelectrolyte and an oppositely charged macroion leads to a multitude of structures ranging from tight complexes with the chain wrapped around the macroion to open multileafed rosette-like complexes. Rosette structures, expected to occur for short-ranged attractions between the macroion and the chain, have now also been seen in recent Monte Carlo simulations with long-range (unscreened) interactions [Akinchina and Linse Macromolecules 2002, 35, 5183]. The current study provides scaling theories for both cases and shows that rosette structures are indeed quite robust against changes in the ionic strength. However, the transition from the wrapped to the rosette configuration has a dramatically different characteristics: The short-range case leads to a strongly discontinuous transition into a rosette with large leaves whereas the long-range case occurs in a continuous fashion. We provide the complete diagram of states for both cases.

description: Teacher modeling is a widely used pedagogical approach in music education. Several studies have sought to assess the effectiveness of modeling strategies on instrumental learning and have examined the effects of modeling. Nonetheless, not enough scholarly attention has been paid to the comparative effectiveness of such strategies when they are used to teach music composition during one-on-one lessons. The majority of existing research has focused on the successful use of composing techniques as an efficient way of reinforcing composition skills, not as a means of stimulating a learner’s creativity. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the modeling strategies that are being used by music composition teachers. The composition teachers (N = 15) who have been teaching composition in a one-on-one setting at university for five years or more participated in semi-structured, one-on-one interviews. The study found that in composition lessons, modeling was mainly used for two different purposes, which include “modeling for exercise” and “modeling for actual composing.” In the case of using “modeling for exercise,” all the composers agreed that modeling works as a positive influence on the students by helping them learn musical concepts through imitation. However, in the case of using modeling for actual composing related to creativity, the opinions were varied. The study also found that choosing the appropriate timing, amount, and types of modeling play a crucial role in using modeling strategies while avoiding any possible negative effects.

description: This document is one of a series of whitepapers from the USQCD collaboration. Here, we discuss opportunities for lattice QCD in quark and lepton flavor physics. New data generated at Belle II, LHCb, BES III, NA62, KOTO, and Fermilab E989, combined with precise calculations of the relevant hadronic physics, may reveal what lies beyond the Standard Model. We outline a path toward improvements of the precision of existing lattice-QCD calculations and discuss groundbreaking new methods that allow lattice QCD to access new observables.

An Examination of Teacher Beliefs  about Evaluation Practices and Policies

description: Despite a growing consensus that teacher quality is central to student learning, teacher evaluation systems have long been focused on compliance, rather than implemented in service of improved instruction and/or accountability for performance. In recent years, in response to a growing sense that evaluation policy failed to meet the needs of teachers or the communities they serve, a variety of stakeholders successfully advocated for dramatic changes to teacher evaluation policies in states and districts across the United States. These reforms largely focused on greater standardization, the use of data to draw conclusions about teacher performance, and increased accountability for student learning. My study focuses on the beliefs of teachers at the nexus of change to teacher evaluation policy in their districts. Using data from the Measures of Effective Teaching Project and a sample of 696 teachers, this project explores teachers’ beliefs about evaluation and related practices, and examines the relationships between teacher beliefs and measures of teacher quality. Findings suggest that teacher beliefs vary based on teacher-, classroom- and school-level factors. Results about the links between teacher beliefs and measures of teacher quality are inconclusive, though the current analyses do reveal several interesting patterns that are promising for further exploration in future research.

An Examination of Three-dimensional Geometry in High School Curricula in the US and China

description: Geometry is an essential branch in mathematics that helps students learn to grasp their environment and leverage that grasp into abstract understanding and reasoning. There has been an observable decrease in geometrical content in secondary education curricula, and particularly a “puzzling scarcity” in three-dimensional geometry, which has led to a decline in students’ geometrical abilities, spatial thinking and deductive reasoning abilities. This study addresses this issue by scrutinizing the enacted curriculum standards and the most influential textbooks related to three-dimensional geometry in two prominent countries, the US and China, both of which embrace the interplay of both conventional and innovative practices. This qualitative study used both content analysis and cross-cultural comparison methods to inquire about and to understand the current situation of three-dimensional geometry in high school. I focused on probing the communication types, objects, concepts, and spatial thinking abilities related to three-dimensional geometry in the standards and texts. To understand spatial abilities, I synthesized a spatial thinking abilities framework with six attributes and used this framework to exam the affordance of these abilities in the texts and requirements in the standards.
      The result and analysis reveal the details of each text and standards individually and offer an examination of the alignment between the standards and texts. The comparison of the two countries’ different approaches also sharpens the understanding of the issue. I also worked to unveil students’ multiple ways of making sense of geometry concepts by two geometry learning models, Piaget’s model and van Hiele’s model, as well as spatial thinking abilities.
Interaction-induced Fermi surface deformations in quasi one-dimensional electronic systems

description: We consider serious conceptual problems with the application of standard perturbation theory, in its zero temperature version, to the computation of the dressed Fermi surface for an interacting electronic system. In order to overcome these difficulties, we set up a variational approach which is shown to be equivalent to the renormalized perturbation theory where the dressed Fermi surface is fixed by recursively computed counterterms. The physical picture that emerges is that couplings that are irrelevant tend to deform the Fermi surface in order to become more relevant (irrelevant couplings being those that do not exist at vanishing excitation energy because of kinematical constraints attached to the Fermi surface). These insights are incorporated in a renormalization group approach, which allows for a simple approximate computation of Fermi surface deformation in quasi one-dimensional electronic conductors. We also analyze flow equations for the effective couplings and quasiparticle weights. For systems away from half-filling, the flows show three regimes corresponding to a Luttinger liquid at high energies, a Fermi liquid, and a low-energy incommensurate spin-density wave. At half-filling Umklapp processes allow for a Mott insulator regime where the dressed Fermi surface is flat, implying a confined phase with vanishing effective transverse single-particle coherence. The boundary between the confined and Fermi liquid phases is found to occur for a bare transverse hopping amplitude of the order of the Mott charge gap of a single chain.
