Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Nigeria: A system Analysis of Policy in National and Local Contexts
Creators: name: Ogunkoya, Adejoke
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2023

description: Across the world, countries consider early childhood education (ECE) beneficial for young children’s lifelong educational development and nations’ socioeconomic growth. The national government of Nigeria has officially given this type of education recognition in the 2013 National Policy on Education, which alongside stating ECE policy’s objectives, described implementation measures to achieve its goals. The national government’s introduction of universal early education into the public education system was underpinned by the 2004 Universal Basic Education (UBE) Act. However, the implementation of ECE policy faces several challenges, affecting the achievement of its goals. This thesis examines the ‘fit’ between ECE policy at the national level and its implementation at the state and local levels within the ECE system in three states in western Nigeria. My empirical research focused on ECE policy implementation and provision available to children aged 3–5 years since the 2004 UBE Act’s introduction. This study employed a qualitative interpretive approach using semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and fieldnotes. It explored perceptions of policymakers at the national, state, and local levels of government and of implementers involved at the state and local levels, including policymakers, a non-governmental organisation (NGO) officer, ECE providers, and practitioners in both public and private-for-profit settings. A combination of systems and postcolonial theories informed the theoretical stance in this thesis. Findings revealed significant gaps between the national government’s policy aims and actual ECE implementation in the three states. All aspects of the ECE system needed to support successful policy implementation were problematic. The funding allocation model for ECE policy implementation is seriously deficient. Nigeria will likely need to develop targeted strategies for change to achieve its universal ECE policy goals. This thesis adds to the body of studies suggesting how Nigerian ECE policy implementation can be improved to achieve its stated goals.
On the Achievable DoF and User Scaling Law of Opportunistic Interference Alignment in 3-Transmitter MIMO Interference Channels

description: In this paper, we propose opportunistic interference alignment (OIA) schemes for three-transmitter multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) interference channels (ICs). In the proposed OIA, each transmitter has its own user group and selects a single user who has the most aligned interference signals. The user dimensions provided by multiple users are exploited to align interfering signals. Contrary to conventional IA, perfect channel state information of all channel links is not required at the transmitter, and each user just feeds back one scalar value to indicate how well the interfering channels are aligned. We prove that each transmitter can achieve the same degrees of freedom (DoF) as the interference free case via user selection in our system model that the number of receive antennas is twice of the number of transmit antennas. Using the geometric interpretation, we find the required user scaling to obtain an arbitrary non-zero DoF. Two OIA schemes are proposed and compared with various user selection schemes in terms of achievable rate/DoF and complexity.

description: In this paper we analyze the phase transition phenomena in Born-Infeld AdS black holes using Ehrenfest's scheme of standard thermodynamics. The critical points are marked by the divergences in the heat capacity. In order to investigate the nature of the phase transition, we analytically check both the Ehrenfest's equations near the critical points. Our analysis reveals that this is indeed a second order phase transition. Finally, we analyze the nature of the phase transition using state space geometry approach. This is found to be compatible with the Ehrenfest's scheme.

description: We study the zero-range process on a simple diamond lattice with open boundary conditions and determine the conditions for the existence of loops in the mean current. We also perform a large deviation analysis for fluctuations of partial and total currents and check the validity of the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation relation for these quantities. In this context, we show that the fluctuation relation is not satisfied for partial currents between sites even if it is satisfied for the total current flowing between the boundaries. Finally, we extend our methods to study a chain of coupled diamonds and demonstrate co-existence of mean current regimes.

description: We study possibility of phase transitions between Lifshitz black holes and other configurations by using free energies explicitly. A phase transition between Lifshitz soliton and Lifshitz black hole might not occur in three dimensions. We find that a phase transition between Lifshitz and BTZ black holes unlikely occurs because they have different asymptotes. Similarly, we point out that any phase transition between Lifshitz and black branes unlikely occurs in four dimensions since they have different asymptotes. This is consistent with a necessary condition for taking a phase transition in the gravitational system, which requires the same asymptote.

description: L'articolo si propone di analizzare alcuni problemi relativi alla caratterizzazione della nozione di rilevanza in contesti argomentativi, specialmente nell'ambito dell'argomentazione formale. In primo luogo si mostrerà, dopo aver brevemente introdotto una nozione "intuitiva" di rilevanza, come nella logica classica siano dimostrabili formule non conformi rispetto a questa nozione. Verrà poi discussa la possibilità di caratterizzare questa nozione non solo da un punto di vista pragmatico ma anche entro sistemi formali. Sarà quindi affrontato il problema relativo alla possibilità di esprimere il nesso rilevante all'interno del linguaggio o solo attraverso il metalinguaggio. E infine, dopo aver discusso brevemente alcuni sistemi di logica rilevante e introdotto il sistema FDE, verrà esplicitato il legame che intercorre tra il problema della rilevanza e quello della paraconsistenza.

description: Ferromagnetic heterostructures provide an ideal platform to explore the nature of spin-orbit torques arising from the interplay mediated by itinerant electrons between a Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling and a ferromagnetic exchange interaction. For such a prototypic system, we develop a set of coupled diffusion equations to describe the diffusive spin dynamics and spin-orbit torques. We characterize the spin torque and its two prominent--out-of-plane and in-plane--components for a wide range of relative strength between the Rashba coupling and ferromagnetic exchange. The symmetry and angular dependence of the spin torque emerging from our simple Rashba model is in an agreement with experiments. The spin diffusion equation can be generalized to incorporate dynamic effect such as spin pumping and magnetic damping.

description: Nell'antico dibattito tra logica e retorica la posizione classica era quella
che attribuiva alla prima lo scettro della verit' ed alla seconda quello dell'opinione; la
moderna teoria dell'argomentazione ripropone questa contrapposizione distinguendo
da una parte il regno delle verità atemporali ed acontestuali asserite dalle dimostrazioni
matematiche e dall'altra quello delle credenze sempre rivedibili rivendicate
attraverso argomentazioni che fanno uso dei più scaltri stratagemmi interpretativi.
A questa contrapposizione si cerca di rispondere attraverso una analisi degli aspetti
che legano la dimostrazione alle nozioni di verità e di interpretazione, rivendicando
soprattutto il ruolo di quest'ultima nella logica formale e provando a delineare,
sulla base delle intuizioni fornite dalle recenti ricerche sulla ludica, un approccio
generale all'argomentazione, formale ed informale, che si configuri come una vera
e propria logica delle regole di inferenza incentrata sulla rappresentazione esplicita
degli aspetti interpretativi che ne caratterizzano l'uso e la comprensione.

Synthesis and characterization of near-infrared heptamethine indocyanine dyes and intercalated nanocomposites
Creators: name: Strohm, Elizabeth-Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of a number of novel near-infrared heptamethine indocyanine dyes containing various aromatic chromophores. A known heptamethine indocyanine dye functionalized with a carboxylic acid moiety was employed as a parent dye for subsequent derivatization. Aromatic compounds with terminal hydroxyl groups including a bimetallic cationic organoiron-containing complex, and various anthracene, pyrene, and thiophene derivatives were reacted with the parent dye via ester condensation reactions. Structural analysis of the newly prepared heptamethine indocyanine dyes was accomplished using one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. These dyes exhibited high molar absorptivity based on the UV-visible/near-infrared spectral data. Fluorescence emission spectral data was used to determine the relative quantum yield. The formation of H-aggregates was observed in water at low concentrations, but was not present in methanol. In addition, the intercalation of a heptamethine indocyanine dye and indolenine dye into lithium hectorite was reported. This was accomplished by taking advantage of the exfoliating and re-stacking properties of the host, hectorite. The resulting layered nanocomposites were characterized via powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed interlayer expansion. Scanning electron microscopy was employed for surface morphological characterization. Thermal analysis of the resulting intercalated nanocomposites demonstrated greater thermal stability compared to pure hectorite. In addition, the nanocomposites generally exhibited enhanced thermal stability compared to the non-intercalated heptamethine indocyanine dye.

description: Aims. We show how the build-up of magnetic gradients in the Sun's corona may be inferred directly from photospheric velocity data. This enables computation of magnetic connectivity measures such as the squashing factor without recourse to magnetic field extrapolation. Methods.Assuming an ideal evolution in the corona, and an initially uniform magnetic field, the subsequent field line mapping is computed by integrating trajectories of the (time-dependent) horizontal photospheric velocity field. The method is applied to a 12 hour high-resolution sequence of photospheric flows derived from Hinode/SOT magnetograms. Results. We find the generation of a network of quasi-separatrix layers in the magnetic field, which correspond to Lagrangian coherent structures in the photospheric velocity. The visual pattern of these structures arises primarily from the diverging part of the photospheric flow, hiding the effect of the rotational flow component: this is demonstrated by a simple analytical model of photospheric convection. We separate the diverging and rotational components from the observed flow and show qualitative agreement with purely diverging and rotational models respectively. Increasing the flow speeds in the model suggests that our observational results are likely to give a lower bound for the rate at which magnetic gradients are built up by real photospheric flows. Finally, we construct a hypothetical magnetic field with the inferred topology, that can be used for future investigations of reconnection and energy release.

Pre-Columbian diets in the Soconusco revisited : a dietary study through stable isotopic analysis
Creators: name: Moreiras Reynaga, Diana Karina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This MA thesis focuses on the study of pre-Columbian subsistence and dietary patterns through the use of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic analysis of human samples (n = 20) recovered from the Acapetahua, Mazatán, and Río Naranjo zones in the Soconusco region—located in the present-day state of Chiapas, México and the Northeastern coast of Guatemala. The stable isotope results in this study demonstrate the heterogeneity of ancient human diets in the Soconusco region, illustrating the complexity of ancient people’s lifeways from the Late Archaic (3500-1900 cal. B.C.) to the Late Postclassic (A.D. 1250-1530) periods. Further, the presence of C₄ plant (i.e., maize) consumption was minor isotopically compared with the consumption of a variety of locally available wild and cultivated food resources. As a result, there is an absence of a clear subsistence transition towards maize agriculture as the main subsistence practice in the region, based on the human samples analyzed in this study. While the quantification of every food source in the diet, including maize, is more difficult without additional data and other lines of evidence, I suggest that other food products like marine, estuarine, and riverine resources, as well as other wild and cultivated plant foods may have been more important in the every-day diets of Soconusco inhabitants across time (particularly at Mazatán). This appears to have been a common pattern indicative of the wide diversity of food resources found in tropical environments across Mesoamerica.

Large Scale Structure of the Universe

description: Galaxies are not uniformly distributed in space. On large scales the Universe displays coherent structure, with galaxies residing in groups and clusters on scales of ~1-3 Mpc/h, which lie at the intersections of long filaments of galaxies that are >10 Mpc/h in length. Vast regions of relatively empty space, known as voids, contain very few galaxies and span the volume in between these structures. This observed large scale structure depends both on cosmological parameters and on the formation and evolution of galaxies. Using the two-point correlation function, one can trace the dependence of large scale structure on galaxy properties such as luminosity, color, stellar mass, and track its evolution with redshift. Comparison of the observed galaxy clustering signatures with dark matter simulations allows one to model and understand the clustering of galaxies and their formation and evolution within their parent dark matter halos. Clustering measurements can determine the parent dark matter halo mass of a given galaxy population, connect observed galaxy populations at different epochs, and constrain cosmological parameters and galaxy evolution models. This chapter describes the methods used to measure the two-point correlation function in both redshift and real space, presents the current results of how the clustering amplitude depends on various galaxy properties, and discusses quantitative measurements of the structures of voids and filaments. The interpretation of these results with current theoretical models is also presented.

description: In the background of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker Universe, there exists Hawking radiation which comes from the cosmic apparent horizon due to quantum effect. Although the Hawking radiation on the late time evolution of the universe could be safely neglected, it plays an important role in the very early stage of the universe. In view of this point, we identify the temperature in the scalar field potential with the Hawking temperature of cosmic apparent horizon. Then we find a nonsingular universe sourced by the temperature-dependant scalar field. We find that the universe could be created from a de Sitter phase which has the Planck energy density. Thus the Big-Bang singularity is avoided.

Emergy-based life cycle assessment (Em-LCA) for sustainability appraisal of built environment
Creators: name: Reza, Bahareh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Construction and operation of built environment including various types of buildings (such as commercial, residential, institutional) and urban infrastructures are facing challenges because of accelerated pace of resource depletion, waste generation, high energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change impacts. Several new practices and efforts are underway to develop technical basis to assess the environmental and associated socio-economic impacts due to the design, construction, operation, and disposal of the built environment, and achieve sustainable development goals. In recent years, sustainability assessment or appraisal of a built environment has gained increasing focus and led to integrate sustainable development goals and guidelines in day-to-day decision-making. However, developing a pragmatic sustainability appraisal tool for built environment systems is a key challenge facing planners, policy makers, asset managers, and engineering professionals worldwide. This research developed a comprehensive framework, based on the integration of emergy synthesis and life cycle assessment (LCA), for sustainability appraisal of built environment systems. The main objective of Emergy-based Life Cycle Assessment (Em-LCA) framework is to support decision-making for asset management by quantifying sustainability performance principles (environmental protection, and socio-economic development) throughout the life cycle of the built environment systems. The developed Em-LCA framework is applied to selected built environment systems (i.e., linear infrastructure and building systems) using cradle-to grave approach (i.e., from design and project planning to the end-of-life). The Em-LCA framework is implemented to classify life cycle inflows/outflows (e.g., matter, energy/waste, and emission) of the selected built environment systems and to deliver a quantitative characterization of the associated impacts (e.g., natural resources depletion, wastes generation, GHG and toxic emissions, and life cycle costs). Further, the results of Em-LCA are integrated for different sustainability performance indicators to estimate the overall environmental and socio-economic impacts. To address the uncertainty issues, fuzzy-based uncertainty modeling has been used to validate the reliability of the Em-LCA results. The results of this research clearly prove that, Em-LCA offers a realistic and pragmatic sustainability assessment framework that will overcome several challenges of existing sustainability assessment and traditional asset management frameworks by providing quantitative and transparent results to facilitate informed decision-making.

title: DEPRECATED: THE REAL PERFORMANCE OF SOME CIVIL ENGINEERING STRUCTURES
Creators: name: WILLIAMS, CLIVE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1979

description: The work carried out during this research project has been concerned with the performance of large structures and in the introduction to this thesis a justification for full-scale testing is presented. Full-scale testing techniques relating to both dynamic and quasi-static movements occurring in large civil engineering structures such as multi-storey buildings and bridges have been studied. Dynamic characteristics of buildings were obtained during full-scale testing with the use of seismometers and servo-drive accelerometers. Oscillations produced from both by wind and by forced vibration have been studied and the methods and results obtained are compared. The slow movement of structures, occurring at a frequency less than approximately 1 Hz, has been studied with the use of a specially developed laser based system. The system consists of a laser located at a stationary reference position while an X-Y plotter is positioned on the moving structure. Linked with four photo-cells and associated electronics, the system proved capable of monitoring the most significant movements occurring in civil engineering structures. A Theoretical control system analysis and frequency response of the device was performed. Extensive trials with the equipment and monitoring of the atmospheric temperature effects on the laser beam were undertaken and are described. Deflection data obtained on a multi-storey building and the Tamar suspension bridge and discussions on the problems encountered are presented. A small scale dynamic survey on the Tamar suspension bridge and results from an analytical model are described in Chapter Seven. Simple structural analysis models of multi-storey buildings have been used to yield values of natural frequencies. A finite element package has also been used to develop an accurate analytical model of a building to which different wind loading profiles were applied and deflections obtained.

description: The purpose of this investigation was to assess the oral health, prevalence of intraoral manifestations/infections. and periodontal disease status of renal transplant recipients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy to determine their oral health needs. A purposive sample was selected via the Renal Transplant Center. Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. and Nephrology Associates of Tidewater LTD from which 22 renal transplant recipients who agreed to participate were examined. Three subgroups of the population were studied: individuals with a renal transplant for less than one year. individuals with a renal transplant for one to three years and individuals with a renal transplant for more than three years.

Bacterial plaque and dental calculus were assessed using Greene and Verrnillion's (1964) Simplified Oral Hygiene Index. Periodontal disease status was determined using Rarnfjord's (1967) Periodontal Disease Index: and grade of gingival hyperplasia was assessed using a combination of Aas et al.'s (1963) vertical component. and Seymour et al.'s (1985) horizontal component of the gingiva as utilized by King et al. (1993). Intraoral lesions/manifestations were recorded by location. color. size. and characteristic, using a self-designed form.

A pilot study was performed on the first ten participants examined to determine instrumentation threats to internal validity and inrrarater reliability. Data were analyzed using the t-test for correlated samples and the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test. All analyses were made at the .05 level of significance.

Sixty-five percent of the individuals had a poor Simplified Oral Hygiene Index rating; 85 percent of the sample exhibited some degree of periodontal disease: and 7 5 percent of the individuals presented with moderate to severe degrees of gingival hyperplasia. Only one of the 22 participants exhibited signs of intraoral lesions. Results revealed no statistically significant difference in the oral health status of renal transplant recipients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy with a kidney transplant for less than one year, for one to three years and for three or more years.

description: The interaction of neutrinos with gravitational fields in the weak field regime at one loop to the leading order has been studied by Menon and Thalappilil. They deduced some theoretical differences between the Majorana and Dirac neutrinos. Then they proved that, in spite of these theoretical differences, as far as experiments are concerned, they would be virtually indistinguishable. We study the interaction of neutrinos with weak gravitational fields to the second order (at two loops). We show that there appear new neutrino gravitational form factors which were absent in the first-order calculations, so from a theoretical point of view there are more differences between the two kinds of neutrinos than in the first order, but we show that likewise they are indistinguishable experimentally.

description: The general gauge mediation scenario provides a framework in which properties of a visible sector with soft supersymmetry breaking are computed from current correlation functions in the supersymmetry breaking hidden sector. In this paper we will use holography to model strongly coupled hidden sectors by weakly curved geometries and describe how the current correlators relevant for general gauge mediation are computed by holographic methods. We illustrate the general setup by a toy example which captures most of the relevant features.

description: Confidence bands are confidence sets for an unknown function f, containing all functions within some sup-norm distance of an estimator. In the density estimation, regression, and white noise models, we consider the problem of constructing adaptive confidence bands, whose width contracts at an optimal rate over a range of Hölder classes. While adaptive estimators exist, in general adaptive confidence bands do not, and to proceed we must place further conditions on f. We discuss previous approaches to this issue, and show it is necessary to restrict f to fundamentally smaller classes of functions. We then consider the self-similar functions, whose Hölder norm is similar at large and small scales. We show that such functions may be considered typical functions of a given Hölder class, and that the assumption of self-similarity is both necessary and sufficient for the construction of adaptive bands. Finally, we show that this assumption allows us to resolve the problem of undersmoothing, creating bands which are honest simultaneously for functions of any Hölder norm.

description: Hannah Webster Foster and Tabitha Gilman Tenney were early American novelists writing in the latter part of the eighteenth century. Each author wrote a sentimental novel and a traditional conduct book. The Coquette and The Boarding School by Foster and Female Quixotism and The New Pleasing Instructor by Tenney, have scarcely been understood in relation to each other. This project attempts to view these texts as in the eighteenth-century society might have.

The introductory chapter identifies the problem with the typical feminist critical reading. It also explores many of the popular genres of literature during the eighteenth-century. Included are explorations of the sentimental novel, advice or conduct books, and epistolary novels.

Chapter II explores Hannah Foster's The Boarding School and The Coquette in relation to one another, and Chapter III does much the same with Tenney's The New Pleasing Instructor and Female Quixotism. National concerns, social constrictions, and political history are each explored in relation to the works.

This paper also disputes the interpretations of several feminist literary critics, such as Cathy Davidson, Walter Wenska and Kristie Hamilton. These writers feel that Tenney's and Foster's works are expressions of oppression. To challenge this argument, much of the history and social mores embedded in the eighteenth century are discussed.

description: Background and purpose — CT (computed tomography) based methods have lately been considered an alternative to radiostereometry (RSA) for assessing early implant migration. However, no study has directly compared the 2 methods in a clinical setting. We estimated the precision and effective radiation dose of a CT-based method and compared it with marker-based RSA in 10 patients with hip arthroplasty. Patients and methods — We included 10 patients who underwent total hip replacement with a cemented cup. CT and RSA double examinations were performed postoperatively, and precision and effective dose data were compared. The CT data was analyzed with CT micromotion analysis (CTMA) software both with and without the use of bone markers. The RSA images were analyzed with RSA software with the use of bone markers. Results — The precision of CTMA with bone markers was 0.10–0.16 mm in translation and 0.31°–0.37° in rotation. Without bone markers, the precision of CTMA was 0.10–0.16 mm in translation and 0.21°–0.31° in rotation. In comparison, the precision of RSA was 0.09–0.26 mm and 0.43°–1.69°. The mean CTMA and RSA effective dose was estimated at 0.2 mSv and 0.04 mSv, respectively. Interpretation — CTMA, with and without the use of bone markers, had a comparable precision to RSA. CT radiation doses were slightly higher than RSA doses but still at a considerably low effective dose.
