description: The purpose of this study is to determine if a promotora-led intervention that takes a comprehensive, multi-level, community-based approach to promoting physical activity (PA) is effective among a particularly underserved segment of Latinas. We hypothesize that Latinas in the promotora-led PA Intervention will significantly increase minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) compared to Latinas in the attention-control group.

description: Waves are important for the heating of the solar corona and the acceleration of the solar wind. We have examined a long spectral time series of a northern coronal hole observed on the 20th October 1996, with the SUMER spectrometer onboard SoHO. The observations were obtained in a transition region N IV 765 A line and in a low coronal Ne VIII 770 A line. Our observations indicate the presence of compressional waves with periods of ~25 min. Using Fourier techniques, we measured the phase delays between intensity as well as velocity oscillations in the two chosen lines. From this we are able to measure the travel time of the propagating oscillations and, hence, the propagation speeds of the waves producing the oscillations. We found that there is a difference in the nature of the propagation in bright ('network') and dark ('internetwork') regions with the latter sometimes showing evidence for downwardly propagating waves that is not seen in the former. As, in all cases, the measured propagation speeds are subsonic, we concluded that the detected waves are slow magnetoacoustic in nature.

description: A model for describing structural pointlike defects in nanoscaled ferromagnetic materials is presented. Its details are explicitly developed whenever interacting with a vortex-like state comprised in a thin nanodisk. Among others, our model yields results for the vortex equilibrium position under the influence of several defects along with an external magnetic field in good qualitative agreement with experiments. We also discuss how such defects may affect the vortex motion, like its gyrotropic oscillation and dynamical polarization reversal.

title: Interactions and Play Behavior of Mothers of Typically Developing Infants and Infants with Disabilities: A Vygotskian Approach
Creators: name: Boyce, Lisa K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1999

description: This study follows a Vygotskian approach to investigate the influence and relatedness of several "scaffolding" behaviors for mother-infant dyads of both typically developing infants and infants with disabilities and how early intervention may influence the dyads through the home visiting process. For this primarily low-income sample, maternal participation during play did not enhance the infants' play. The relation of infant level of play with maternal education, income, and the maternal involvement variables of level of play and use of scaffolding varied with the disability status of the infant. Home visitor support of mother-infant interaction did not appear to influence maternal involvement during play, except that mothers of infants with disabilities whose home visitors spent more time with just the infant played at a higher level.

description: In einer Umfrage bei den fortgeschrittenen Studierenden an der Deutschen Abteilung der Nationaluniversität der Mongolei wurde festgestellt, dass der Name Hitler sehr bekannt und mit einer positiven Konnotation verbunden ist. Dagegen gab es keine Kenntnisse über die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus in Deutschland. Mehrere weitere Beobachtungen lassen darüber hinaus in der Mongolei und in anderen Ländern eine bestimmte Hitler-Verehrung erkennen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde im Jahr 2012 an der Deutschen Abteilung der Nationaluniversität der Mongolei eine Unterrichtssequenz zum Thema Nationalsozialismus in Deutschland durchgeführt. Die wichtigsten Themen sind dabei die Persönlichkeit des Diktators, der Werdegang der NSDAP während der Weimarer Republik und das Schicksal der jüdischen Bevölkerung in Deutschland vor und insbesondere nach der Machtergreifung Hitlers. Die Sequenz dient der Relativierung des Hitler-Bildes im Bewusstsein der Studierenden und der Vermittlung von Kenntnissen zur Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts als Grundlage einer Entwicklung, die zu zwei deutschen Staaten und ihrer späteren Vereinigung führte. Die Sequenz ist auf vergleichbare Unterrichtssituationen in anderen Ländern übertragbar

description: Joint modeling of associated mixed biomarkers in longitudinal studies leads to a better clinical decision by improving the efficiency of parameter estimates. In many clinical studies, the observed time for two biomarkers may not be equivalent and one of the longitudinal responses may have recorded in a longer time than the other one. In addition, the response variables may have different missing patterns. In this paper, we propose a new joint model of associated continuous and binary responses by accounting different missing patterns for two longitudinal outcomes. A conditional model for joint modeling of the two responses is used and two shared random effects models are considered for intermittent missingness of two responses. A Bayesian approach using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is adopted for parameter estimation and model implementation. The validation and performance of the proposed model are investigated using some simulation studies. The proposed model is also applied for analyzing a real data set of bariatric surgery.
A kinetic study of the reactions of the ethyl radical with the methyl esters of acrylic acid and its mono-methyl derivatives
Creators: name: Kambanis, Stamatis M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The Arrhenius parameters have been measured for the addition of the ethyl radical to methyl acrylate and its mono-methyl derivatives, methyl methacrylate, methyl cis-crotonate and methyl trans-crotonate. The energy of activation for each of these derivatives is significantly greater than for methyl acrylate, probably because of the adverse polar effect introduced by the methyl group. The activation energy for the addition to methyl methacrylate appears to be lower than for either the cis- or trans- methyl crotonate. This can probably be attributed to the fact that the ∝-methyl group can more effectively stabilise the adduct radical resulting from the addition of the ethyl radical to the methyl methacrylate, than the β-methyl group can in the case of crotonates. The pre-exponential factor is significantly smaller for each of the methyl crotonate isomers than for methyl methacrylate; partial shielding of the β-carbon atom of methyl crotonate is thus expressed by a steric factor rather than by an energy term. In terms of the rate constant for the addition reaction over the range 70°C to 160°C, methyl trans-crotonate is significantly more reactive than methyl cis-crotonate, and each isomer is only about one tenth as reactive as the vinyl compounds, methyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate, in which the site of radical attack is comparatively unobstructed. The cis-trans isomerisation of methyl crotonate is photo-sensitised by diethyl ketone illuminated by 3130 Å radiation in the gaseous phase; a mechanism of triplet state energy transfer is proposed for the process below 200°C; above 200°C an alternative mechanism involving the reversible addition of the ethyl radical to the double bond becomes the predominant process of isomerisation.
title: The Relationship Between the Content Component of Cognitive Moral Development and Premarital Sexual Standards
Creators: name: Anderson, Janet H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1987

description: The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship between the content of moral thought and premarital sexual standards. The sample used (n=lS9) was homogeneous and purposive; the majority of the sample was female, second year college students, and Caucasian. A discriminant analysis using the sexual standards of permissiveness with affection and the traditional standard as dependent variables, and the moral constructs of egoism, hedonism, nonhedonism, utilitarianism, deontology, rule-utilitarianism, act-utilitarianism, rule-orientation, and act-orientation as independent (predictor) variables was run. This analysis resulted in a final model in which egoism, hedonism, nonhedonism, act-utilitarianism, and rule orientation were found to be the polarizing variables between the traditional group and the permissiveness with affection group.

description: In a second-order r-mode theory, S'a & Tom'e found that the r-mode oscillation in neutron stars (NSs) could induce stellar differential rotation, which leads to a saturation state of the oscillation spontaneously. Based on a consideration of the coupling of the r-modes and the stellar spin and thermal evolutions, we carefully investigate the influences of the r-mode-induced differential rotation on the long-term evolutions of isolated NSs and NSs in low-mass X-ray binaries, where the viscous damping of the r-modes and its resultant effects are taken into account. The numerical results show that, for both kinds of NSs, the differential rotation can prolong the duration of the r-mode saturation state significantly. As a result, the stars can keep nearly constant temperature and angular velocity over a thousand years. Moreover, due to the long-term steady rotation of the stars, persistent quasi-monochromatic gravitational wave radiation could be expected, which increases the detectibility of gravitational waves from both nascent and accreting old NSs.

description: The doping dependence of the micro-Raman spectra of high quality La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4 microcrystals with x=0.0-0.45 has been investigated in the region 10-300 K. The phonon at ~100 cm^{-1} of the orthorhombic phase shows a classical soft mode behavior up to x=0.17, supporting its correlation with the LTO to HTT transition. In the xx/yy polarization spectra of the superconducting concentrations new modes at ~150 and 370 cm^{-1} related to the symmetry breaking and a broad band at ~280 cm^{-1} are attributed to the charge ordering at temperatures well above T_c. At all temperatures studied a correlation has been found between the doping dependence of the transition temperature and the intensity of the bands at ~150, ~280, ~370 cm^{-1}, the intensity of the La/Sr mode, and the asymmetry of the apex phonon.

description: In brachytherapy software defines the experimental configuration of radioactive seeds appropriate to achieve the desired dose distribution in the patient.We will show you how nowadays it is possible to develop a software for brachytherapy which achieves the goal of high accuracyand speed thanks to the combination of various software toolkits: Geant4 simulation toolkit, AIDA analysis toolkit, GRID and the web. Geant4-based brachytherapy application calculates dose distribution in tissues with great accuracy, in a realistic experimental set-up derivedfrom CT data. The AIDAanalysis toolkit provides the elaboration of simulation results. It is possible to run Geant4-based brachytherapy application through a web portal, sharing distributed computing resources thanks to the integration in the GRID, making possible even to modest size hospitals to profit of advanced treatment planning tools.
title: English language assessment in bilingual CLIL instruction at the primary level in Finland: Search for updated and valid assessment methods
Creators: name: Wewer, Taina
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt
Year: 2023

description: Bilingual instruction combining the teaching and learning of an additional, foreign language and subject content is better known as CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), and it is constantly growing in popularity. The dual focus of simultaneous language and content learning is achieved by using the foreign language as the medium of instruction; the foreign language therefore is both the target and the medium of learning. The dual instructional focus presents a challenge to assessment in CLIL. Assessment is more demanding because the language aspect should be considered also; the measurement of language mastery – especially the use of academic, subject-specific language – ideally aligns with the measurement of content mastery. In recent years, assessment has slowly drawn increasing attention in the field of CLIL research which has so far mainly dealt with issues such as language acquisition, affective factors and classroom discourse. The purpose of the research described in this article is to rise to the challenge of CLIL assessment, to survey the assessment practices currently used by CLIL class teachers in Finnish basic education and to experiment with computer simulation as a new, innovative assessment tool in CLIL contexts. First, I will give a very brief overview of CLIL in Finland. Then, in order to provide background information on my research, I will outline some of the challenges that complicate the administration of assessment in the Finnish CLIL environment. Subsequently I will present a short research and literature review of the topic and introduce the methods employed by the research which aims to increase an understanding of the complexity of CLIL assessment and seeks to broaden the range of assessment methods in CLIL. Finally, some preliminary results of the on-going research will be detailed.

A study of the fitness effects of varsity wrestling and required wrestling training programs.
Creators: name: Taylor, Albert William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of certain training programs upon the physical fitness of students enrolled in university required wrestling classes and varsity wrestlers. Tests were administered to twelve students in the required program at the University of British Columbia and to the ten man University of British Columbia varsity wrestling team. Physical fitness test items of muscular strength, muscular endurance, motor ability, cardiovascular endurance, fat component and cardiovascular condition considered to have important implications for wrestlers and wrestling were selected for use in this study. The two groups were tested at the beginning of their training programs (t1) and again at the end of these programs (t2). The required training program consisted of two one-hour periods per week for an eight week period. The varsity wrestlers were also retested after eight weeks although their training program continued beyond this period. These men trained ten hours per week, that is, for two hours a time, five times per week. The test results of the University of British Columbia varsity wrestlers were also compared with those of the varsity wrestlers of the University of Western Ontario taken one year earlier at the same stage of training. The required program training regimen was evidently either not long enough or frequent enough to bring about significant physical fitness changes other than in several muscular endurance items. Results indicated that the varsity wrestling program brought about significant positive changes in muscular endurance, cardiovascular condition and fat component but not in muscular strength. The University of British Columbia wrestlers were inferior to the University of Western Ontario varsity wrestlers on all test items except the Progressive Pulse Rate Recovery Test and the right and left grip strengths. It was concluded that under the conditions of the study significant changes in components of physical fitness can be brought about as a result of the varsity wrestling training program but there were few significant changes in fitness produced by the required program in wrestling.

description: Data replication is an important aspects in a Data Grid for increasing fault tolerance and availability. Many Grid replication tools or middleware systems deal with read-only files which implies that replicated data items are always consistent. However, there are several applications that do require updates to existing data and the respective replicas. In this article we present a replica consistency service that allows for replica updates in a single-master scenario with lazy update synchronisation. The system allows for updates of (heterogeneous) relational databases, and it is designed to support flat files as well. It keeps remote replicas synchronised and partially ('lazily') consistent. We report on the design and implementation of a novel "relaxed" replica consistency service and show its usefulness in a typical application use case.

description: The Lee–Carter model is a well-known model in modeling mortality. We aim to compare three probability models (Poisson, negative binomial and binomial) based on the Generalized Linear Model (GLM) framework of the Lee–Carter model. These models are applied to mortality data for 10 selected countries (Japan, United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Sweden, Spain, Belgium, Canada, Netherlands and Bulgaria) and the fit of these models is assessed using the deviance statistics and standardized residuals against fitted value plot. Among these three models, the negative binomial Lee–Carter model gave the best fit based on the deviance statistics and estimates of the log of deaths.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1999

description: The purpose of this study was to examine parent and teacher expectations for early childhood educational programs in Muscat, the capital city of Oman. Questionnaires were distributed in three private schools in Muscat; these schools differed from one another in terms of their socioeconomic (SES) levels. Parent and teacher expectations were assessed, as reflected in their educational levels and socioeconomic status, in jobs and income level, and by the c hi !d 's level in kindergarten. Participants were 95 mothers, 52 fathers, and 13 teachers of children age 3.5 to 5.5.
Results indicated that teachers were more developmentally appropriate than mothers and fat hers. Also, mothers were more developmentally appropriate than fathers. In addition, parental education level affects their views about early childhood education programs. Parents with higher educational levels were more developmentally appropriate than those with Jess education. However, the teacher expectations with regard to early childhood education in Oman did not vary by their education level.
Parental expectations are affected by their SES level. Parents with high socioeconomic level are more developmentally oriented than parents of lower economic level. But contrary to the original assumption about social class and the three schools, it was the middle school that turned out to have the highest level of SES as reflected in the educational level of fathers. Regardless of the child's level in kindergarten, parent and teacher expectations were similar with regard to early childhood education in Oman.
Parents and teachers identified the top three priorities in their child's school from a list of 10 items. These items included a strong emphasis on English, Omani teachers, and libraries. Respondents in this study commented on the things they liked best and least about the educational system in Oman.

description: We propose a new methodology for selecting and ranking covariates associated with a variable of interest in a context of high-dimensional data under dependence but few observations. The methodology successively intertwines the clustering of covariates, decorrelation of covariates using Factor Latent Analysis, selection using aggregation of adapted methods and finally ranking. A simulation study shows the interest of the decorrelation inside the different clusters of covariates. We first apply our method to transcriptomic data of 37 patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer who have received chemotherapy, to select the transcriptomic covariates that explain the survival outcome of the treatment. Secondly, we apply our method to 79 breast tumor samples to define patient profiles for a new metastatic biomarker and associated gene network in order to personalize the treatments.

description: Grid storage managers represent a new way to deal with large sets of files in a Grid environment. They are growing quickly, meeting LHC experiment requirements; in particular, nowadays they must honour SC4 requirements as a subset of the whole complete set of features to be implemented for 2008. The SRM interfaces are needed, both in version 1 and 2, and higher and higher transfer rates (i.e. in SC4, 100MB/sWAN/disk and 1GB/s inside LAN) can't be managed through a classic SE. Possible candidates as SRMstorage managers are dCache, DPM and StoRM. This work aims to test installation, configuration, features and limits of those storage managers; the resulting overview will be useful both for Tier 2 sites and dCache/DPM developers, and will represent a basis on which to start a regular testing activity about grid storage management. All the results reported in this note are updated to January 2006. All the software tested is now released in a newer version, with more functionalities added. This work is the result of a working activity born as a requirements of the INFN "Commissione Calcolo e Reti".

The nanoeconomic aspect is central to the definition of inclusion. So, the inclusion of a person, as the main subject of nanoeconomics, to the formation and stabilization of economic systems is the initial one in the integration of an individual in relation to production processes and economic development. A person is involved in academic and social life by making decisions about their own business and integrating it into the sectoral and national economic space. It is proved that its indicators are the conditions for clustering the economic system. The study carried out a cluster analysis of the innovation system in a country with an economy in transition. In addition, the study outlined that inclusive phenomena in the economy are close to integration and are the opposite of segregation and isolation. It is noted that different institutions of integration can be used to form objective conditions for the development of babyeconomics. Public decisions of inclusion involve the use of Arrow's impossibility theorem. The research results can be used: – the individualistic functions of inclusion should be used in the formation of the babyeconomics, the human economy and the economy of nanotechnology; – states of inclusion must be created at all levels of the economic system; – a person and wealth are an individualistic aspect of an inclusive economy, because national wealth consists of individual wealth. Nanoeconomics is just beginning to be included in the systemic processes of inclusive economic phenomena, especially in countries with economies in transition.
Extending the search for neutrino point sources with IceCube above the horizon

description: Point source searches with the IceCube neutrino telescope have been restricted to one hemisphere, due to the exclusive selection of upward going events as a way of rejecting the atmospheric muon background. We show that the region above the horizon can be included by suppressing the background through energy-sensitive cuts. This approach improves the sensitivity above PeV energies, previously not accessible for declinations of more than a few degrees below the horizon due to the absorption of neutrinos in Earth. We present results based on data collected with 22 strings of IceCube, extending its field of view and energy reach for point source searches. No significant excess above the atmospheric background is observed in a sky scan and in tests of source candidates, including the Active Galactic Nuclei Centaurus A and 3C279. Upper limits are reported, which for the first time cover point sources in the southern sky up to EeV energies.

description: In this paper we develop a technique for determining the algebraic classification of a numerical spacetime, possibly resulting from a generic black-hole-binary merger, using the Newman-Penrose Weyl scalars. We demonstrate these techniques for a test case involving a close binary with arbitrarily oriented spins and unequal masses. We find that, post merger, the spacetime quickly approaches Petrov type II, and only approaches type D on much longer timescales. These techniques allow us to begin to explore the validity of the "no-hair theorem" for generic merging-black-hole spacetimes.

description: In the history of mechanics, there have been two points of view for studying mechanical systems: The Newtonian and the Cartesian. According the Descartes point of view, the motion of mechanical systems is described by the first-order differential equations in the $N$ dimensional configuration space $\textsc{Q}.$ In this paper we develop the Cartesian approach for mechanical systems with three degrees of freedom and with constraint which are linear with respect to velocity. The obtained results we apply to discuss the integrability of the geodesic flows on the surface in the three dimensional Euclidian space and to analyze the integrability of a heavy rigid body in the Suslov and the Veselov cases .
title: CLILiG in Norwegen - Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen bei der Einführung von deutschsprachigem Fachunterricht an norwegischen Schulen

description: An norwegischen Schulen gibt es bis jetzt nur ansatzweise Projekte mit CLIL-Unterricht in der 2. Fremdsprache. Gleichzeitig lässt sich feststellen, dass die sprachlichen Fertigkeiten der SchülerInnen, nachdem sie den traditionellen Fremdsprachenunterricht der Schulen absolviert haben, kaum über das Niveau A1/A2 (GER) hinausgehen. Der Aufsatz diskutiert nach einer kurzen Beschreibung der momentanen CLIL-Situation in Norwegen, welchen Herausforderungen die Einführung von CLILiGUnterricht, stellvertretend für CLIL-Unterricht in allen 2. Fremdsprachen, gegenübersteht und welche Möglichkeiten gerade eine Einführung dieses Unterrichtstyps eröffnen würde.

description: Beim erfolgreichen Fremdsprachenlernen spielen mehrere Aspekte eine Rolle, in erster Linie jedoch ist eine positive Lerneinstellung die wesentliche Grundlage – Motivation und Neugier der neuen Sprache und der damit verbundenen Kultur gegenüber. Die Sprache benötigt den Kontext, ohne den eine fremde Sprache nur unzureichend gelernt werden kann. Darüber hinaus ist von entscheidender Bedeutung, wie intensiv und oft die SchülerInnen mit der Fremdsprache in Kontakt kommen. Seit Beginn der 1990er Jahre ist in europäischen Ländern eine Reihe von Innovationen des Fremdsprachenunterrichts ins Leben gerufen worden. Zu den bekanntesten Ansätzen gehört das Konzept des bilingualen Sachfachlernens. Auch im estnischen Bildungssystem werden verschiedene Formen des integrierten Sach- und Sprachlernens praktiziert. Das Ziel des vorliegenden Beitrags ist es, einen Überblick über die Möglichkeiten des bilingualen Musikunterrichts an Grundschulen Estlands zu geben. Dies wird an einem Beispielmodul zum Thema Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart verdeutlicht.
Ages and metallicities for quiescent galaxies in the Shapley Supercluster: Driving parameters of the stellar populations

description: We use high signal-to-noise spectroscopy for a sample of 232 quiescent galaxies in the Shapley Supercluster, to investigate how their stellar populations depend on velocity dispersion, luminosity and stellar mass. The sample spans a large range in velocity dispersion (sigma from 30-300 km/s) and in luminosity (M_R from -18.7 to -23.2). Estimates of age, total metallicity (Z/H) and alpha-element abundance ratio (a/Fe) were derived from absorption-line analysis, using single-burst models. Age, Z/H and a/Fe are all correlated positively with velocity dispersion, but we also find significant residual trends with luminosity: at given sigma, the brighter galaxies are younger, less alpha-enriched, and have higher Z/H. At face value, these results might suggest that the stellar populations depend on stellar mass as well as on velocity dispersion. However, we show that the observed trends can be reproduced by models in which the stellar populations depend systematically only on sigma, and are independent of stellar mass Mstel. For age, the observed luminosity correlation arises because young galaxies are brighter, at fixed Mstel. For metallicity, the observed luminosity dependence arises because metal-rich galaxies, at fixed mass, tend also to be younger, and hence brighter. We find a good match to the observed luminosity correlations with Age ~ sigma^0.40, Z/H ~ sigma^0.35, a/Fe ~ sigma^0.20, where the slopes are close to those found when fitting traditional scaling relations. We conclude that the star formation and enrichment histories of galaxies are determined primarily by the depth of their gravitational potential wells. The observed residual correlations with luminosity do not imply a corresponding dependence on stellar mass.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors related to ownership and frequency of use of small electrical kitchen appliances. Data were collected from 116 Women's Week participants and 61 Adult Leaders' School participants who completed a self-administered survey questionnaire.
The 177 homemakers owned a total of 2500 appliances with a mean of 14.15 appliances per homemaker. The number of small electrical appliances owned ranged from 3 to 33 items.
No significant differences were found in the number of small electrical kitchen appliances owned and employment status of the homemaker, educational level of the homemaker, income level of the household, and length of marriage. No significant differences were found in the frequency of use of small electrical kitchen appliances and employment status of the homemaker, educational level of the homemaker, income level of the household, and number of children. There was a significant difference in the frequency of use of small electrical kitchen appliances and method of acquisition, convenience of storage, perceived time-saving ability, and likelihood to repair or replace an item if broken.
