description: This work is devoted to modeling acoustic feedback. An overview of the existing methods for its assessment and suppression is presented. A feedback model has been created, on the basis of which simulation and data generation from sounds distorted by it is performed. A machine learning algorithm based on a convolutional neural network has been developed and trained on the data obtained, which is a constituent link of suppression algorithms that evaluates the acoustic feedback path. The results of the algorithm's operation on test data are presented.

description: Background:  Raising  knowledge  of  women  on  danger  signs  of  pregnancy  is  crucial  for  safe
motherhood.  In  Ethiopia  maternal  morbidity  and  mortality  is  high,  little  is  known  about
knowledge level of pregnant women on obstetric danger signs.
Objective:  To  assess  the  knowledge  about  danger  sign  of  pregnancy  and  associated  factors
among pregnant women in Arbaminch town public health institutions, Southern Ethiopia, 2015.
Methods: Institutional based cross sectional study was conducted from February to March 2015,
on the sample of 355 pregnant women.  A structured pretested questionnaire was used to collect
quantitative  data  on  socio  demographic,  obstetric  characteristics  and  knowledge  about  danger
signs of pregnancy. Epi Info version 3.3.2   and SPSS  version 16.0  was used for both data entry
and analysis.
Results:  From those who  participated  in this study 189(53.2%), 95% CI: (48%  -  58.4%)  were
knowledgeable.  government  employed  (AOR=  2.77,  95%  CI:  1.16-6.65, P-0.022),  educational
level  of  grade  9-10  (AOR=  5.13,  95%  CI:  2.13-12.37,  P-0.001),  having  attended  diploma  and
above (AOR= 8.94, 95% CI: 3.39-23.54, P-  0.001)  and  those who had previous pregnancy ANC
follow up  (AOR= 15.72, 95% CI: 3.18-77.63, P-0.001)  were found to be  strongly  significantly
associated with knowledge of danger signs of pregnancy.
Conclusion:  This  study  revealed  that  the  knowledge  level  of  pregnant  women  about  danger
signs of pregnancy in the study area was lower than the national target . And their knowledge was
affected  by  occupation;  educational  level  and  ANC  follow  up.  Therefore,  the  MOH,  regional
health  bureau,  zonal  health  department,  Woreda  health  office  as  well  as  other  partner
organizations that are working in areas of reproductive health should design appropriate   health
education  strategies  including provision of targeted  information, education and communication
to  pregnant  mothers  to  increase  their  awareness  and  thus  enable  early  recognition  of  serious
health problems during pregnancy.

description: Background:  Emergency  contraceptives  are  types  of  family  planning,  which  are  mainly  used
after unsafe sex.Unwanted pregnancy is one of the most commonly observed reproductive health
problems  in  Ethiopian  demographic  and  health  survey2011  reported  that  28%  pregnancies
among women in reproductive age were unintended,  This poses a range of major public health
problems  including  an  increased  risk  of  complications  associated  with  illegal  abortions  in  the
country and also associated with dropout of education amongst students which will lead to future
unemployment and economic dependency in the end.
Objectives:  The  purpose  of  this  study  was  to  assess  Knowledge  towards  emergency
contraceptives and associated factors among high school and preparatory students of Jinka town.
Materials and methods:  Institution based cross-sectional  study was conducted;simple random
sampling  was  used  to  select  468  female  students.  Study  was  conducted  in  Feb,   2015.  Self
administered  pre-structured  questionnaire  was  used  for  interview.  Data  entered  to  Epi  info
version 3.5.1 and exported to SPSS version16 for analysis.
Results:Total number of participants was 468 with mean age of 17.27, with age gro up ranging
from lowest 14 to highest age of 25 and standard deviation of 1.28.From the total  respondents
78% responded they ever heard about emergency contraceptives.  From those who ever heard of
emergency contraceptives  41.5% mentioned pills and 11.8% mentioned intra  uterine device as a
means  of  emergency  contraceptive.  From  the  total  respondents,  50.9%  have  good  knowledge.
After controlling confounders those who ever  had sexual  intercourse experience,  marital  status
and  everheard  of  emergency  contraceptives  are  significantly   associated  with  knowledge  on
emergency contraceptives.
Conclusion and Recommendation:Thestudy showed there is low level of knowledge towards
emergency contraceptives, which make need of awareness creation campa ign for emergency
contraceptives mandatory.

description: We enumerate factorizations of a Coxeter element in a well generated complex reflection group into arbitrary factors, keeping track of the fixed space dimension of each factor. In the infinite families of generalized permutations, our approach is fully combinatorial. It gives results analogous to those of Jackson in the symmetric group and can be refined to encode a notion of cycle type. As one application of our results, we give a previously overlooked characterization of the poset of $W$-noncrossing partitions.

description: Berry and Keating conjectured that the classical Hamiltonian H = xp is related to the Riemann zeros. A regularization of this model yields semiclassical energies that behave, in average, as the non trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. However, the classical trajectories are not closed, rendering the model incomplete. In this paper, we show that the Hamiltonian H = x (p + l_p^2/p) contains closed periodic orbits, and that its spectrum coincides with the average Riemann zeros. This result is generalized to Dirichlet L-functions using different self-adjoint extensions of H. We discuss the relation of our work to Polya's fake zeta function and suggest an experimental realization in terms of the Landau model.

Influence of anisotropy, tilt and pairing of Weyl nodes: The Weyl semimetals TaAs, TaP, NbAs and NbP

description: By means of $ab \ initio$ band structure methods and model Hamiltonians we investigate the electronic, spin and topological properties of four monopnictides crystallizing in body centered tetragonal structure. We show that the Weyl bands around a Weyl point W1 or W2 possess a strong anisotropy and tilt of the accompanying Dirac cones. These effects are larger for W2 nodes than for W1 ones. The node tilts and positions in energy space significantly influence the density of states of single-particle Weyl excitations. The node anisotropies destroy the conventional picture of (anti)parallel spin and wave vector of a Weyl fermion. This also holds for the Berry curvature around a node, while the monopole charges are independent as integrated quantities. The pairing of the nodes strongly modify the spin texture and the Berry curvature for wave vectors in between the two nodes. Spin components may change their orientation. Integrals over planes perpendicular to the connection line yield finite Zak phases and winding numbers for planes between the two nodes, thereby indicating the topological character.

description: Vojta's Conjectures are well known to imply a wide range of results, known and unknown, in arithmetic geometry. In this paper, we add to the list by proving that they imply that rational points tend to repel each other on algebraic varieties with nonnegative Kodaira dimension. We use this to deduce, from Vojta's Conjectures, conjectures of Batyrev-Manin and Manin on the distribution of rational points on algebraic varieties. In particular, we show that Vojta's Main Conjecture implies the Batyrev-Manin Conjecture for $K3$ surfaces.

Mutation breeding in niger (Guizotia abyssinica Cass): Review paper
Creators: name: Dr. Suvarna
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: 70305 Crop and Pasture Improvement (Selection and Breeding)
subject: FOS: Agriculture, forestry and fisheries

description: Abstract Niger is a minor oilseed crop of India. It is cultivated in Ethiopia and India. The crop is cultivated in unproductive lands, marginal lands and hilly areas. It is a neglected crop and farmers are cultivating local varieties. It is a highly cross pollinated crop and is self incompatible. The capitula are very small and difficult to make hybridisation. So mutation breeding is the option to create variations. Physical and chemical mutagens are used to create mutations. An effort was made to review the mutation breeding in niger. A very limited work was carried out on mutation breeding in niger. Mutants were isolated for high oleic acid and high oil yield (Shabnum et al., 2011), improved oil content and early flowering (Naik and Murthy, 2009) and improvement in seed weight per plant (Suvarna et al., 2020). Other mutagenic effects of physical and chemical mutagens were also reported in niger (Maloo and Agrawal, 1995; Suvarna et al, 2020, Premajyoti, 2006). Meiotic properties of C1 plants was also studied (Dagne, 2001). Mutation breeding helps in isolating mutants with desirable traits. This crop needs more attention to improve the seed yield and oil content.
Home Delivery and Associated Factors among Child Bearing Age Women Who Gave Birth in the Preceding Two Years in Zala District, Southern  Ethiopia
Creators: name: Bedilu Kucho Doka (BSc)
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Introduction: A key intervention to achieve the goal of a reduction of maternal mortality is
significant reduction of deliveries that occur at home. In Ethipia, the MMR has declined
from 676/100,000 live births in 2011 to 420/100,000 live births in 2013 with a skilled
attendant of 23%  where 77% deliveries occurred at home without proper medical
attention and care during childbirth. Little is known about cultural factors that contributed
to home delivery. Therefore, this study aims to explore the cultural factors in adition to
other factors that previous studies did not address in detail.
Objective: To assess prevalence of home delivery and associated factors among child
bearing age women who gave birth in the preceding two years in Zala District, Southern
Ethiopia.
Methods: A community based cross sectional study that triangulates quantitative with
qualitative approaches was conducted from March 15 to April 10, 2015 on 447 women.
Multistage sampling through simple random technique were employed to select study
participants. Ten non-employed diploma and two degree level health professionals were
recruited for data collection and supervision repectively after initial traing. Data were
collected by pretested and structured questionnaire and entered and analyzed using EPI
info 3.5.1 and SPSS version 20. Frequencies, binary and multiple logistic regression
analysis were done. Associations were determined by using OR at 95% CI and p ≤0.05.
Results: The prevalence of home delivery is found to be 67.6%. The factors that
significantly affected home delivery in this study were place of residence (AOR: 5, 95%
CI: 2.2, 12),women age at interview (AOR: 2.78, 95% CI: 1.2, 6.5), women’s education
(AOR: 5.8, 95% CI: 2.86, 11.8), antenatal care (AOR: 3, 95% CI: 1.3, 8.5), time to reach
the nearest health facility (AOR = 4.5, 95% CI = 2.2, 9), family size ( AOR= 3.9, 95%
CI=2,16.77) and attitude of the mother on maternal services (AOR=3.7 95% CI= 2.2,6).
Conclusions: Home delivery is highest in the study area. The most important factors that
determine home delivery appear to be women’s education status, number of ANC visit,
time to reach the nearest health facility and age and attitude of the women. Actions
targeting the maternal education, encouraging number of ANC visits, making health
facilities in accessible distance and conducting behavioral change communication were
the crucial areas to tackle giving birth at home.
LEVEL AND FACTORS  ASSOCIATED WITH DIETARY DIVERSITY  AMONG CHILDREN AGED  6-23 MONTHS IN ARORESSA WOREDA, SIDAMA ZONE, SNNPR, ETHIOPIA
Creators: name: Nigussie Yohanes ( BSc In Public Health )
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Background:  Dietary  diversity is among the core Infant and Young Children Feeding (IYCF)
indicators.Nevertheless,  in Ethiopia  information regarding the level and factors associated with
dietary diversity are scarce.
Objective:  To  assess level and  factors  associated  with  dietary diversity among  children aged 6-23 months in Aroressa Woreda, Sidama Zone, SNNPR, Ethiopia.
Method:  A  community based cross-sectional study  was  conducted  from  January 26  to  May  20,
2016  among  417  children  aged  6-23  months  in  Aroressa  woreda.  The  children  were  selected
using multistage sampling technique. Data  were  collected by trained  personnel  using structured
questionnaire.  Dietary  diversity  was  measured  using  the  Food  and  Nutrition  Technical
Assistance (FANTA)  scale.  The  data  were  coded, cleaned, entered using EPI-Info  7.2  software
and  analyzed  using  SPSS  version  20.Factors  associated  with  dietary  diversity  were  identified
using multiple logistic regression analysis.
Results:  Only 10.6% of the children aged 6-23 months had the acceptable dietary diversity (≥ 4
food groups).Among the children having literate fathers, the dietary diversity was  increased by
3.06  as  compared  to  their  counterparts  3.06  (95%CI:  1.55-6.07).Whereas,  among  the  children
having  the  households  who  grow  vegetables  and  own  livestock,  the  dietary  diversity  was
increased by 1.64 and 0.53 as compared to their  counterparts by  1.64 (95%CI:  1.31-1.84)  and
0.53(95%CI: 0.20-0.73), respectively. As the age of the child increased by a month, the dietary
diversity was also increased by 2.46(95%CI: 1.67-4.41). Among the children having the mothers
who  visited  health  facility  for  PNC  and  received  IYCF  information,  the  dietary  diversity  was
increased by 29 as compared to their counterparts by  29(95%CI: 1.18-3.53). Other factors that
were  positively  associated  with  dietary  diversity  were  mothers  participated  in  food
demonstration, women’s heard IYCF information through mass media and husband involvement
in IYCF.
Conclusion:  Majority  (89.4%)  of  children  had  low  dietary  diversity;  indicating  most  of  them
were not consuming a diversified diet needed for adequate growth and development.
Broadband Spectral Analysis of Aql X-1

description: We present the results of a broadband spectral study of the transient Low Mass X-ray Binary Aql X-1 observed by Suzaku and Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellites. The source was observed during its 2007 outburst in the High/Soft (Banana) state and in the Low/Hard (Extreme Island) state. Both the Banana state and the Extreme Island state spectra are best described by a two component model consisting of a soft multi-colour blackbody emission likely originating from the accretion disk and a harder Comptonized emission from the boundary layer. Evidence for a hard tail (extending to ~50 keV) is found during the Banana state; this further (transient) component, accounting for atleast ~1.5% of the source luminosity, is modeled by a power-law. Aql X-1 is the second Atoll source after GX 13+1 to show a high energy tail. The presence of a weak but broad Fe line provides further support for a standard accretion disk extending nearly to the neutron star surface. The input photons for the Comptonizing boundary layer could either be the disk photons or the hidden surface of the star or both. The luminosity of the boundary layer is similar to the disk luminosity in the banana state and is about six times larger in the extreme island state. The temperature of the Comptonizing boundary layer changes from ~2 keV in the banana state to ~20 keV in the extreme island state.

To address concerns related to the relevancy of pre-service assessment education, this study examined 57 syllabi from assessment courses offered by 14 Western Canadian teacher education programs. Content analysis revealed trends related to the scope and nature of assessment education in terms of intended learner outcomes, instructional topics, teaching mediums, and assessment strategies. Implications for informing how initial teacher education programs go about preparing pre-service teachers for their future assessment roles and responsibilities are discussed. Les programmes de formation des enseignants jouent un rôle critique dans la préparation des enseignants face à leurs rôles et responsabilités relativement à l’évaluation. Il demeure, par contre, que plusieurs enseignants débutants se sentent pris au dépourvu face à l’évaluation de la performance de leurs étudiants (Mertler, 2009). Afin d’aborder des préoccupations liées à la pertinence de la formation à l’évaluation, cette étude a examiné 57 programmes de cours d’évaluation offerts dans le cadre de 14 programmes de formation des enseignants dans l’Ouest canadien. Une analyse du contenu a révélé des tendances liées à l’envergure et à la nature de l’éducation à l’évaluation, et portant sur les résultats d’apprentissage, les thèmes étudiés, les moyens d’enseignement et les stratégies d’évaluation. On discute des incidences de faire comprendre la préparation des enseignants face à leurs rôles et responsabilités relativement à l’évaluation.

description: There are two very natural products of compact matrix quantum groups: the tensor product $G\times H$ and the free product $G*H$. We define a number of further products interpolating these two. We focus more in detail to the case where $G$ is an easy quantum group and $H=\hat{\mathbb{Z}}_2$, the dual of the cyclic group of order two. We study subgroups of $G*\hat{\mathbb{Z}}_2$ using categories of partitions with extra singletons. Closely related are many examples of non-easy bistochastic quantum groups.

description: In semi-arid regions, reduced river flows present is a major challenge in water resources management. We present a new standardized contribution of rainfall to runoff index (SCRI) for evaluating changes in rainfall contribution to river flow. We employ the standardized precipitation index (SPI), standardized discharge index (SDI) and SCRI to characterize meteorological drought, hydrological drought and land-use change impacts on river flow, respectively. These indices are applied to the Mond River Basin (Iran), which is regulated by the Salman Farsi and Tangab dams since 2006. A new concept called “mirage water” is proposed that represents the reduced water delivery to downstream areas due to new developments and water withdrawals in headwater tributaries. In particular, mirage water accounts for changes in upstream water consumption between the planning phase and construction/operation life of dams. We recommend that this concept be used for communication with decision-makers and managers to clarify the need for revising dimensions of planned dams.
The association between diet and mental health and wellbeing in young adults within a biopsychosocial framework and a planetary health rationale

description: Background: Previous research has shown that predominantly plant-based diets can co-benefit human health and the health of the planet. However, studies on their association with mental health are scarce even though mental health disorders contribute substantially to the global burden of disease. This study utilized a biopsychosocial frame to assess this association among undergraduate students as this population is highly vulnerable to mental disorders and simultaneously most likely to adopt a plant-based diet. Methods: Cross-sectional survey data were collected that included assessments of depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), and quality of life. Diet was measured through a posteriori self-reported dietary patterns as well as through self-identification with a diet preference category (such as pescatarian, vegetarian, or vegan). Multiple regression analysis was used to test whether plant-based diet preferences or diet patterns were associated with mental health outcomes, controlling for age, gender, ethnicity, sleep, physical activity, body image, stress, stressful life events, and social support. Data were further explored to uncover trends among and characteristics of those following a plant-based diet. Findings: In this sample (n=339), the majority of students (87.4%, n=298) indicated that they had good to excellent quality of life, while 20.4% (n=69) screened positive for moderately severe or severe depression and 32.4% (n=110) screened positive for moderate or severe anxiety (generally indicating necessity of a clinical intervention). Three dominant dietary patterns were found (plant-based, animal-based, and processed foods); 28.1% (n=95) of participants self-identified as following a predominantly plant-based diet. After controlling for covariables, most notably social support, we found a significant association between the processed food diet pattern and depression (z-score β=.21, p≤.001; adj. R²=.39) and anxiety (z-score β=.14; p≤.001; adj. R²=.32) while no association emerged between diet preference categories and mental wellbeing. Conclusions: This study showed that diet intake rather than preference category should be considered when examining relationships with mental health outcomes. It further pointed at the importance of conceptualizing diet as a health behaviour that is embedded in a multidimensional biopsychosocial framework and an integrated model for future inquiry in this field was proposed.
Azimuthal anisotropy ($v_{2}$) of high-p$_{T}$ $π^{0}$ and direct $γ$ in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV

description: Preliminary results from the STAR collaboration of the azimuthal anisotropy $(v_{2})$ of $π^{0}$ and direct photon ($γ_{dir}$) at high transverse momentum (p$_{T}$) from Au+Au collisions at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$~GeV are presented. A shower-shape analysis is used to select a sample free of direct photons ($π^0$) and a sample rich in direct photons $γ_{rich}$. The relative contribution of background in the $γ_{rich}$ sample is determined assuming no associated charged particles nearby $γ_{dir}$. The $v_{2}$ of direct photons ($v_{2}^{γ_{dir}}$) at mid-rapidity ($|η^{γ_{dir}}|<1$) and high p$_{T}$ ($8< p_{T}^{γ_{dir}}<16$~GeV/$c$) is extracted from those of $π^{0}$ and neutral particles measured in the same kinematic range. In mid-central Au+Au collisions (10-40$\%$), the $v_{2}$ of $π^0$ ($v_{2}^{π^{0}}(p_{T})$) and charged particles ($v_{2}^{ch}(p_{T})$) are found to be $\sim$ 0.12 and nearly independent of p$_{T}$. The measured $v_{2}^{γ_{dir}}(p_{T})$ is positive finite and systematically smaller than that of $π^{0}$ and charged particles by a factor of $\sim$ 3. Although the large $v_{2}^{π^{0}}$ at such high p$_{T}$ might be partially due to the path-length dependence of energy loss, the non-zero value of $v_{2}^{γ_{dir}}$ indicates a bias of the reaction plane determination due to the presence of jets in the events. Systematic studies are currently in progress.

description: The basic thermodynamic parameters of the superconducting state in $\rm{YNi_{2}B_{2}C}$ were calculated in the framework of the one-band Eliashberg model. The effective Eliashberg function, determined on the basis of the transport function (R.S. Gonnelli, {\it et al.}, Physica C \textbf{341}, 1957 (2000)), was used during calculations. It was shown that the dimensionless ratios are equal to: $R_{1}\equiv 2Δ(0)/k_{B}T_{C}=3.87$, $R_{2}\equivΔC(T_{C})/C^{N}(T_{C})=1.79$ and $R_{3}\equiv T_{C}C^{N}(T_{C})/H_{C}^{2}(0)=0.159$. The value $R_{1}$ fairly agrees with the experimental data whereas $R_{2}$ and $R_{3}$ agree very well.

description: Background: College education is challenging and stressful one. However, there is  a little known about mental health status of the students in the college because attention given to mental health service in low and middle-income countries in general is low. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess prevalence and associated factors of anxiety among Arba Minch university undergraduate students.
Objectives: To assess prevalence and associated factors of anxiety among Arba Minch university undergraduate students.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Arbaminch University on April 22//2016. Multistage sampling procedures were used with self-administered questionnaire, which includes the Beck anxiety inventory scale. Six data collection facilitators and one supervisor were assigned. This research included 779 students. Frequency, Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were used to characterize anxiety and other independent variables. Binary and multivariate logistic regression were also used and p value <0.05 was considered as significant.
Result: According to this study the prevalence of anxiety was (193) 24.8% (95 % CI: 21.8, 27.8)( Beck anxiety inventory scale≥22). The presence of anxiety in the family 2.0 (95% CI: 1.272, 3.145), reduction of academic performance 2.38(95% CI: 1.54,3.26), fear of exam during exam period1.876(95% CI: 1.18,2.77)  and over burden of the test schedule 1.582(95% CI: 1.04,2.4) had statistically significant higher odds with anxiety.
Conclusion: The prevalence of anxiety among study participant was 24.8%. The presence of anxiety in the family, reduction of academic performance, fear of exam during exam period and over burden of the frequent test schedule were the main factors.
Recommendation: This study recommended educating the coping skills to the students and conducting programs that prevent anxiety disorders.

description: Researchers examine the outcomes of professional collaborative inquiry in mathematics on teacher efficacy in a three-year study of teacher professional learning in Canada. The study applies a mixed methods approach involving over 200 teachers and 1000 students as well as case study sites in English and French. The collaborative inquiry-based professional learning program (called CIL-M) focuses on teacher collaboration, mathematics knowledge for teaching, and student mathematical thinking. The program, which was refined annually based on research report recommendations, was found to increase teacher efficacy, student achievement and positive student beliefs. Les chercheurs ont étudié les résultats d’une enquête collaborative professionnelle en mathématiques portant sur l’efficacité des enseignants et l’apprentissage professionnel du personnel enseignant au Canada. La recherche s’est déroulée sur trois ans, a reposé sur une approche de méthodes mixtes, et a impliqué plus de 200 enseignants, 1 000 étudiants et des sites d’études de cas en anglais et en français. Le programme d’apprentissage professionnel par investigation vise la collaboration entre enseignants, les connaissances de l’enseignement des mathématiques et le raisonnement mathématique chez les élèves. Ce programme a été affiné à chaque année en fonction des recommandations découlant du rapport de recherche. On a trouvé qu’il augmentait l’efficacité des enseignants et améliorait les croyances et le rendement des élèves.

description: Understanding the human–water–food–climate nexus is central to achieving sustainable intensification (SI) in agriculture. This research uses a socio-hydrological approach to understand the underpinning for implementing SI in the Gezira Irrigation Scheme, Sudan, by integrating vegetation indices derived from remote sensing, ancillary, gridded soil and precipitation data, supplemented by interviews with 393 farmers. The productivity gap was estimated as the difference between the potential and actual productivities. Based upon data on farmers’ socio-economic status and field practices, a regression tree model was built to determine the factors that control the sorghum yield. The model revealed that the financial status of farmers and access to water are the most influential factors on sorghum yield. A conceptual framework that elucidates SI and its bi-directional feedback to the environment, society and the economy is proposed. Implementing SI in the scheme has implications on water and food security in Sudan and beyond its borders.
Influence of Teacher Support and Personal Relevance on Academic Self-Efficacy and Enjoyment of Mathematics Lessons: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach

description: The purpose of our study was to examine the effects of two psychosocial features of the classroom environment (teacher support and personal relevance) on college students’ academic self-efficacy and enjoyment of mathematics lessons. Data collected from 352 mathematics students attending three higher education institutions in the United Arab Emirates were used to validate the questionnaires and to investigate the hypothesized relationships. Structural equation modeling analysis suggests that teacher support and personal relevance are influential predictors of enjoyment of mathematics lessons and academic self-efficacy. L’objectif de cette étude est d’examiner les effets de deux facteurs psychosociaux de la salle de classe (soutien des enseignants et pertinence personnelle) sur l’auto-efficacité académique des étudiants universitaires et du plaisir qu’ils retirent des cours de mathématiques. On a puisé dans des données recueillies chez 352 étudiants en mathématiques de trois institutions d’études supérieures aux Émirats arabes unis pour valider les questionnaires et vérifier les relations postulées. Une analyse de la modélisation par équation structurelle laisse supposer que le soutien des enseignants et la pertinence personnelle ont constitué des facteurs de prévision influents quant au plaisir que retirent les étudiants des cours de mathématiques et à leur auto-efficacité académique.

description: This qualitative study analyzes the career path narratives of active principals. Structural narrative analysis was supplemented with sociolinguistic theory and thematic narrative analysis to discern the similarities and differences, as well as the patterns in the language used by participating principals. Thematic analysis found four major themes in the narratives: (1) passion for teaching and education; (2) external motivation to become a principal; (3) importance of the experience as an assistant principal; and (4) recent changes in the principalship. While all of the participants acknowledged difficulties associated with the principalship, the findings revealed differences between male and female leaders’ narratives in terms of structure, content, and style as well as certain similarities. Cette étude qualitative analyse les récits de directeurs d’école intérimaires par rapport à leur cheminement professionnel. Nous avons eu recours à une analyse narrative structurale, complétée par la théorie sociolinguistique et une analyse narrative thématique, pour examiner les patrons, les similarités et les différences linguistiques chez les directeurs et les directrices qui ont participé. L’analyse thématique a identifié quatre thèmes majeurs dans les récits : (1) une passion pour l’enseignement et l’éducation; (2) une motivation externe à devenir directeur d’école; (3) l’importance de l’expérience de directeur adjoint; et (4) des changements récents dans le rôle de directeur. Tous les participants ont reconnu des difficultés liées au rôle de directeur d’école, mais la structure, le contenu et le style des récits des hommes étaient différents de ceux des femmes. Notons que tous les récits partagaient quand même certaines similarités.

description: Cylindrical-like coordinates for constant-curvature 3-spaces are introduced and discussed. This helps to clarify the geometrical properties, the coordinate ranges and the meaning of free parameters in the static vacuum solution of Linet and Tian. In particular, when the cosmological constant is positive, the spacetimes have toroidal symmetry. One of the two curvature singularities can be removed by matching the Linet-Tian vacuum solution across a toroidal surface to a corresponding region of the dust-filled Einstein static universe. Some other properties and limiting cases of these space-times are also described, together with their generalisation to higher dimensions.
