title: Implementing an early childhood curriculum in a different cultural context: an ethnographic study of Arabic early literacy practices in a Saudi Arabian preschool
Creators: name: Alothman, Hanadi Fahad
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: preschool education, preschool curricula, early literacy, Arabic early literacy

description: Drawing on socio-cultural perspectives of literacy learning, this study investigates the contribution of early literacy practices in a Western-oriented curriculum, that were designed for a different linguistic and cultural context, to Arabic early literacy development for preschoolers in Saudi Arabia. Specifically, this study investigates the implementation of the Creative Curriculum at an institutional level and explores how the Saudi practitioners perform and interpret its literacy practices. Early literacy development for Saudi preschoolers and its link to their Saudi Arabian Islamic culture and identity is also explored. This is an ethnographic study that takes place in a Saudi Arabian preschool. Data are collected through participant observation, interviews, documents, and children’s mind maps. Study participants are six Saudi preschoolers and their mothers, two teachers, and the preschool director. Data analysis employs the thematic approach and the multi-layering method informed by a number of socio-cultural concepts as an analytical framework. This research provides evidences that children’s early literacy development is a multimodal meaning-making activity and a social practice that is embedded in their socio-cultural context. It also shows the strong link between Saudi preschoolers’ Arabic early literacy development and their Saudi Arabian Islamic culture and identity. Furthermore, the findings reveal that although a number of the adopted literacy practices appear to make a significant contribution in promoting Arabic early literacy, other literacy practices influenced by linguistic, cultural and contextual factors are adapted or transformed. The findings suggest that instead of transplanting educational curricula and early literacy pedagogies, they need to be planted and developed in the relevant context in order to assimilate the linguistic features of the Arabic language and the Saudi Arabian Islamic culture.

description: The study sought to examine the effect of Corporate Governance (CG) on the financial performance of listed commercial banks in Kenya. The research was based on descriptive research design with the target population being all the 11 commercial banks that have offered their shares at the NSE. The per annum panel data was sourced from end-year statements of banks the study focuses on. The secondary data used covered a period of 10 years from 2012 to 2021. The sourced data on data collection sheets was transferred to Excel sheets before being exported to STATA version 15. The study employed the Panel Correlated Standard Errors (PCSE) model. The overall p-value associated with the models used in the study showed that CG variables (board gender diversity, board independence, board experience, board ownership and board size) and bank size had a significant effect on the financial performance (ROA) of listed commercial banks in Kenya. The effect of board size on ROA and ROE was direct but weak. However, board size inversely and weakly affected P/B. Further, board gender diversity inversely affected performance measured by ROA, ROE and P/B. However, only board gender diversity had a strong effect on ROA. Board independence strongly and directly affected financial performance (ROA, ROE and P/B) of the banks studied. Board experience had a direct but weak effect on financial performance. Further, there was a direct and major impact of board ownership on financial performance (ROA and ROE). However, the effect of board ownership on P/B was inverse and statistically significant. Finally, the results revealed a direct impact of bank size on financial performance (ROA and ROE). However, bank size effect on ROE was weak. Further, bank size impact on P/B was inverse and weak.
title: Sense of Agency: An investigation in typical, atypical and clinical populations
Creators: name: Cioffi, Maria Cristina
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Sense of agency, vicarious agency, anosognosia, mirror-touch synaesthesia, older adulthood

description: The sense of agency (SoA) refers to the feeling of control towards our actions and their effects in the outside world. The aim of this thesis was to study SoA to gain a better understanding of it and how it originated, particularly in light of the cue integration approach to SoA. Additionally, this work aimed to bring greater understanding of agency changes in populations where there has been little or no agency research.
 
To achieve this, we used paradigms that created agentic uncertainty by modulating external agency cues.

We found that the susceptibility to manipulation of external agency cues predicted schizotypy scores in healthy adults. We also showed that SoA in patients with anosognosia for hemiplegia is overall dominated by their intention to move, while external agency cues are discounted. 
When examining changes in SoA throughout adulthood, our results suggested that older adults rely more on internal agency cues and discount external cues; we showed that this is potentially a result of increased reliance on internal agency cues.

For the first time, we investigated changes in SoA in people with Mirror-touch synaesthesia. We found that their experience of agency is more malleable than in non-synaesthetes, perhaps due to an enhanced saliency of external cues in the creation of SoA.

Having tested SoA in these groups, we looked at the neural mechanisms that might be responsible for the observed SoA changes. We used transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to test the contribution of right Temporo Parietal Junction to agency processing, in response to the same tasks used in the previous chapters.

Lastly, we investigated the relationship between sense of agency and sense of ownership, a theme running throughout this thesis.
 
We suggest that the cue integration approach is a valid framework to understand SoA and discuss future directions.

description: Motivated by recent developments in tetraquark studies, we investigate the mass spectra and decay properties of light-strange tetraquarks ($sq\bar{s}\bar{q},ss\bar{q}\bar{q}$) in diquark-antidiquark formalism. By considering different internal quark structures and internal color structures, mass spectra are generated in semi-relativistic and non-relativistic frameworks. For decay widths, the annihilation model and spectator model have been incorporated. Several resonances have been explored as potential candidates for these tetraquarks. Concurrently, mass spectra and several decay channels of kaons ($s\bar{q},q\bar{s}$) are also investigated. This study is carried out in the hope of helping improve the understanding of tetraquarks in the light-light sector.

description: The transcorrelated (TC) method performs a similarity transformation on the
 electronic Schrödinger equation via Jastrow factorization of the wave function. This
 has demonstrated significant advancements in computational
 electronic structure theory by
 improving basis set convergence and compactifying the description of the wave function. In
 this work, we introduce a new approach that incorporates pseudopotentials (PPs) into the
 TC framework, significantly accelerating Jastrow factor optimization and reducing
 computational costs. Our results for ionization potentials, atomization energies, and
 dissociation curves of first-row atoms and molecules show that PPs provide chemically
 accurate descriptions across a range of systems and give guidelines for future
 theory and applications.
 The new pseudopotential-based TC method opens possibilities for applying TC to more complex
 and larger systems, such as transition metals and solid-state systems.

description: First Nations women represent the fastest-growing population in the Australian prison system, with escalating rates of incarceration the subject of extensive inquiry. Nevertheless, the crisis persists. This paper argues that the unique situation of First Nations women within a colonial criminal justice system requires reframing and reimagining, in order to think differently about the crisis. One way this can be achieved is by taking an intersectional approach. Applying an intersectional lens to the crisis of over-incarceration of First Nations women identifies gender, race, and colonialism as intersecting points of disadvantage, the impact of which warrants further investigation. It is not suggested that these factors are the only intersecting points of disadvantage for First Nations women, but rather that they represent intersections common across the colonised jurisdictions, with common theoretical underpinnings. This article conducts a critical review of the existing literature, to expose space for an intersectional analysis of the problem, and offers an intersectional interpretation of the factors contributing to the over-incarceration of First Nations women.

description: The study sought to examine the magnitude and direction of the effect of foreign exchange volatility on stock market returns. The study reviewed diverse range of journal articles by searching many databases, like Emerald Insight, Google scholar, ScienceDirect and from several publications. The keywords used to search the articles were “Foreign exchange volatility” and “Stock market” or “Stock market performance”. The researcher used these keywords, the databases hit the results of 558,464 (Emerald – 4,417, ScienceDirect – 15,047 and Google Sholar–539,000). Phase involved filtered searcher filtered the search results by selecting articles, journals, full text, scholarly (peer-reviewed) journals, after which it resulted in 25,279 articles (Emerald – 3282, ScienceDirect – 797 and google scholar – 21,200). The researcher conducted the database search between 28th November 2023 and 30th November 2023. To make sure that the articles selected were relevant to the study, the researcher prepared inclusion and exclusion criteria. Using this criterion, the researcher carefully examined the 25,279 articles where 25,004 articles were excluded after applying exclusion and inclusion criteria. After excluding, researcher found 275 articles eligible for inclusion. The researcher thoroughly studied these papers based on title, abstract, keywords, availability of full pdf text to identify their suitability. Further, duplicated papers were excluded leading to 21 papers being selected for review. The study established that country-wise relationship foreign exchange rate volatility and stock market was positive for some studies and inverse for other studies. Foreign exchange rate volatility tended to have positive impact on stock market returns for the majority of developed countries. In addition, the researcher noted that the majority of developing and emerging countries showed positive effect of foreign exchange volatility on stock market returns.

description: Jointly estimating hand and object shape facilitates the grasping task in human-to-robot handovers. However, relying on hand-crafted prior knowledge about the geometric structure of the object fails when generalising to unseen objects, and depth sensors fail to detect transparent objects such as drinking glasses. In this work, we propose a stereo-based method for hand-object reconstruction that combines single-view reconstructions probabilistically to form a coherent stereo reconstruction. We learn 3D shape priors from a large synthetic hand-object dataset to ensure that our method is generalisable, and use RGB inputs to better capture transparent objects. We show that our method reduces the object Chamfer distance compared to existing RGB based hand-object reconstruction methods on single view and stereo settings. We process the reconstructed hand-object shape with a projection-based outlier removal step and use the output to guide a human-to-robot handover pipeline with wide-baseline stereo RGB cameras. Our hand-object reconstruction enables a robot to successfully receive a diverse range of household objects from the human.

The study adopted panel regression models based on augmented gravity models. Secondary data was sourced from EAC states Central banks and the World Trade Organization (WTO). In the pre-COVID-19 period, Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures and technical barriers to trade (TBT) inversely and positively impacted on trade value respectively. In the COVID-19 period, TBT had hindered intra EAC trade while SPS policies directly and strongly EAC trade. The recommends that EAC member countries should identify alternative mechanism to elimination of NTBs and adopt more integration policies rather than nationalistic policies.

description: Symmetries are important for understanding equilibrium as well as nonequilibrium properties like transport. In translationally invariant extended systems one might expect symmetry generators to also be homogeneous. Studying qubit circuits with nearest-neighbor U(1) gates we show that this needs not be the case. We find new inhomogeneous screw SU(2) and ${\rm U}_q({\rm sl}_2)$ symmetries whose generators exhibit a spatial quasi-momentum modulation. They can be viewed as a parameter-dependent generalization of the standard rotational symmetry of the Heisenberg model and can be identified by the Ruelle-Pollicott spectrum of a momentum-resolved propagator. Rich integrability structure is reflected also in transport: picking an arbitrary U(1) gate and varying the gate duration one will transition through different phases, including fractal ballistic transport, Kardar-Parisi-Zhang superdiffusion at the critical manifold that also contains helix states, diffusion, and localization. To correctly explain transport the non-local SU(2) symmetries do not matter, while the inhomogeneous local ones that almost commute with the propagator do.

title: Project Borderland: A Multi-Sited Curatorial and Anthropological Probing in Selected Parts of India
Creators: name: Dasgupta, Anshuman
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Curatorial Knowledge, Visual Cultures, Multi-sited Anthropology, Performativity, Site-Relational Interactions

description: This theory-practice PhD project combines multi-sited curatorial and anthropological research in selected north-eastern and eastern borderland sites of India. The borderland is a choice for this research due to its manifoldness. Borders, though manmade and historical, often produce ambiguous lines of divide that are amenable to myths and memories, and related animosities and allegiances in a variety of configurations. The abstract borderland is potentially capable of creating different subject positions like citizens, denizens and non-citizens. 

This is the project of a curator-participant who works in alternating nuanced roles as participant observer, complicit observer, ethnographer and the critical entity to tease out the different aspects of the borderland from complex anthropological interactions. The research process involves three phases in each site. The first two are the study of the territorial issues via theoretical grounding and fieldwork. These lead to the curatorial intervention in the form of workshops that emerge as knowledge producing situations. 

The idea is to work with a curatorial strategy that emphasises the processual and is interactive and collaborative, with a view to exploring the shared body of knowledge generated at the workshop mise-en-scènes. Hence, the workshops are conceived as interactive and participatory, involving theatre and cartographic activities among others. Also, the ideas, images and concepts culled from hybrid sources during all the phases of research are juxtaposed here to create fields of multiple inflections, bringing different spaces and times together without merging under a singular discipline. The workshops are, thus, events poised at multi-disciplinary crossroads, where the knowledge of the border experiences maximum density.

The project is aimed at studying the relational features of the selected sites; examining the emergence and nature of communities, the role of outsidedness in the implicated cultures and the different temporal registers encountered in the anthropological probing into the physical and metaphorical borderland(s) in their micro-social aspects.

The blade also of a short sword, or dagger, about twelve inches long, and nearly like that at No. 12. These lay both of them at the left side, and in the coffin. A large iron buckle, like that at No. 50: two small brass buckles: the blades of two knives, and several nails.[1] If we compare this object with fig. 4, pl. xl, vol. xxx, of the Archaologia, which represents a very perfect Saxon sword-handle from Gilton, in the museum of Mr. Rolfe, we shall see that Mr. Faussett is mistaken in considering it a chape; for that referred to retains its original place at the outer extremity of the handle. It may have belonged to the dagger, which it appears was placed with the sword. These globular pommels will presently be discussed. One has already been referred to and illustrated under the head of grave No. 23; a third was among the contents of No. 66; and a fourth appears in No. 89, under which head see Note.- C.R.S.

description: This project aimed to examine the effect of Audit Committee (AC) composition on Earnings Management (EM) among manufacturing firms listed in Kenya. The components of AC targeted included independence, gender diversity, expertise, age and size. The study relied on agency, stewardship and stakeholder theories. The project was based on descriptive design where all the nine manufacturing firms listed at the NSE were used in the study. The research adopted annual secondary data extracted from annual reports of the manufacturing firms. The data covered the period from eight years from 2013 to 2020 and was recorded on data collection sheets. The data in the data collection sheets were entered into a Microsoft Excel sheet. The data was panel in nature covering seven years and nine firms giving rise to 72 observations. The prepared data was exported to STATA version 15 before analysis was carried out. Measures of central tendency and dispersal including standard deviation, mean, kurtosis and skewness were generated to identify outliers and general distribution of data. Tests of OLS regression assumptions were carried out to enable the choice of the most suitable model of analysis. Finally, panel data regression was adopted. The coefficient of determination was 0.7531 implying that Audit committee composition explains 75.31% of the total variation in earnings management. The study further revealed that AC Independence, gender diversity and expertise had a significant inverse effect on EM. AC size had a direct and significant effect on EM. The effect of AC age diversity on EM was direct and significant. The study concluded that AC composition had a critical role in minimising EM among the firms studied.

description: The study sought to evaluate the effect of financial technologies (Fin-Tech) on financial inclusion in Kenya. A descriptive research design was used to collect and analyse data. The population of the study was all 25,000,000 adult population in Kenya interacting with Fin-Tech in various degrees. The study collected quarterly secondary data regarding financial inclusion and Fin-Tec from the CBK database, Communication Authority database and KNBS. The data extracted was entered on data collection sheets in the form of Excel sheets. Data on the Excel sheet were exported to STATA version 15. OLS regression model helped evaluate the effect of Fin-Tech on financial inclusion in Kenya. The study established that financial technology and other covariates have a significant effect on financial inclusion as measured by credit to the private sector.  Financial technology via mobile money, Agency banking, Point of Sale and mobile phone penetration had a statistically significant effect on financial inclusion. The study thus concluded that financial technology and other covariates have a major effect on financial inclusion as measured by credit to the private sector.

description: The study's general objective was to determine the effect of board risk management affected the financial results of particular SACCOS in the Kiruhura District. This study used a cross-sectional survey research design using a quantitative research methodology. The sample size consisted of 184 respondents, staff and members from the six Sacco’s registered in the Kiruhura area of Uganda as of January 2023. A total population of 342 persons was used at a confidence level of 95% or an error of 0.05. Two stages separated the data that was collected for analysis. First, SPSS version 20.0 was used to conduct the preliminary data analysis and descriptive statistics on the respondents. In the second phase, structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to evaluate and investigate the structural relationships between the variables in the proposed conceptual model. These statistics included multicollinearity, mean and standard deviation, outliers and extreme values, and missing data. SEM was implemented using Jaffrey's Amazing Statistical Program (JASP) version 0.17.2.0. The study's conclusions were: The financial performance of savings and credit co-operative societies (Sacco’s) in Uganda was found to be significantly positively impacted by board risk management (BRM) (=1.322**), boosting Ha, The study concludes that SACCOs would experience greater financial gains or better financial performance if they are more stringent about the processes they follow to review their risk profile and the policies they put in place. The study recommends that; Sacco’s risk management committees of the board should be very effective in influencing the corporate risk management practices adopted within the SACCOs and that SACCOs should improve on the levels of BRM to achieve favorable financial results by applying careful attention to governmental regulations, rules and policies.

description: We formulate and numerically solve the Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi~(DGLAP) evolution equations at next-to-leading order in perturbation theory directly for a basis of 6 physical, observable structure functions in deeply inelastic scattering. By expressing the evolution in the physical basis one evades the factorization scale and scheme dependence. Working in terms of observable quantities, rather than parametrizing and fitting unobservable parton distribution functions (PDFs), provides an unambiguous way to confront predictions of perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics with experimental measurements. We compare numerical results for the DGLAP evolution for structure functions in the physical basis to the conventional evolution with PDFs.

description: The Rashomon effect presents a significant challenge in model selection. It occurs when multiple models achieve similar performance on a dataset but produce different predictions, resulting in predictive multiplicity. This is especially problematic in high-stakes environments, where arbitrary model outcomes can have serious consequences. Traditional model selection methods prioritize accuracy and fail to address this issue. Factors such as class imbalance and irrelevant variables further complicate the situation, making it harder for models to provide trustworthy predictions. Data-centric AI approaches can mitigate these problems by prioritizing data optimization, particularly through preprocessing techniques. However, recent studies suggest preprocessing methods may inadvertently inflate predictive multiplicity. This paper investigates how data preprocessing techniques like balancing and filtering methods impact predictive multiplicity and model stability, considering the complexity of the data. We conduct the experiments on 21 real-world datasets, applying various balancing and filtering techniques, and assess the level of predictive multiplicity introduced by these methods by leveraging the Rashomon effect. Additionally, we examine how filtering techniques reduce redundancy and enhance model generalization. The findings provide insights into the relationship between balancing methods, data complexity, and predictive multiplicity, demonstrating how data-centric AI strategies can improve model performance.

description: Configuring a prosthetic leg is an integral part of the fitting process, but the personalization of a multi-modal powered knee-ankle prosthesis is often too complex to realize in a clinical environment. This paper develops both the technical means to individualize a hybrid kinematic-impedance controller for variable-incline walking and sit-stand transitions, and an intuitive Clinical Tuning Interface (CTI) that allows prosthetists to directly modify the controller behavior. Utilizing an established method for predicting kinematic gait individuality alongside a new parallel approach for kinetic individuality, we personalize continuous-phase/task models of joint impedance (during stance) and kinematics (during swing) using tuned characteristics exclusively from level-ground walking. To take advantage of this method, we developed a CTI that translates common clinical tuning parameters into model adjustments for the walking and sit-stand controllers. We then conducted a case study where a prosthetist iteratively tuned the powered prosthesis to an above-knee amputee participant in a simulated clinical session involving sit-stand transitions and level walking, from which incline/decline walking features were automatically calibrated. The prosthetist fully tuned the multi-activity prosthesis controller in under 20 min. Each iteration of tuning (i.e., observation, parameter adjustment, and model reprocessing) took 2 min on average for walking and 1 min on average for sit-stand. The tuned behavior changes were appropriately manifested in the commanded prosthesis torques, both at the manually tuned tasks and automatically tuned tasks (inclines). This paper introduces a clinical tuning interface that simplifies the tuning process for multimodal robotic prosthetic legs, reducing the time required from several hours to just 20 min thus improving clinical feasibility.
