description: Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements were performed on the heavy fermion superconductor Ce3PtIn11 with Tc = 0.32 K. The temperature dependence of both spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 and NQR spectra evidences the occurrence of two successive magnetic transitions with TN1 = 2.2 K and TN2 = 2.0 K. In successive magnetic transitions, even though the magnetic moment at the Ce(2) site plays a major role, the magnetic moment at the Ce(1) site also contributes to some extent. While a commensurate antiferromagnetic ordered state appears for TN2 < T < TN1, a partially incommensurate antiferromagnetic ordered state is suggested for T < TN2.

description: I argue that contemporary struggles with sustainability must be addressed from the perspective of critical cultural analysis that identifies attitudes and behaviors as rooted in specific worldviews, narratives, metaphors, and belief systems, and that challenges and re-envisions these structures of thought in order to reformulate new alternative conceptual frameworks for positive interaction with the more-than-human world.  I define this pursuit of critical cultural reflection and creative conceptual transformation as critical ecoliteracy  I propose the incorporation of its goals and practices into educational curricula in secondary and post-secondary humanities classrooms.  I outline a list of conceptual resources that I consider essential for engaging in critical ecoliteracy and for developing an approach to the world that values and considers the full, interconnected community of life in our global ecosystem.  These skills and capacities include the practice of empathy; an understanding and appreciation of ecological and relational interdependence; ethical consciousness; an awareness of local and global socio-environmental systems and problems; critical awareness of the role that language and discourse play in shaping attitudes and behaviors; knowledge of the varying worldviews and belief systems of different cultures; a capacity for imagining creative alternative future paths; and a sense of agency to enact change.  I encourage the development of critical ecoliteracy curriculum materials that cultivate this set of capacities.  I next describe pedagogical strategies I recommend employing when applying critical ecoliteracy materials in school settings, and I offer my own model critical ecoliteracy curriculum as an example of these goals and approaches.  In order to assess the potential value of such a curriculum, I test my materials in classrooms by teaching them myself and by asking a volunteer teacher to use them.  I then analyze student writing, survey results, and teacher feedback in order to gauge the effect of the curriculum materials on student thinking.  Using qualitative content analysis, I explore the patterns of reactions presented by students in response to the materials, and I draw conclusions as to how effective the model curriculum may be at achieving the goals of critical ecoliteracy that I have outlined.
The use of a vee to facilitate knowledge outcomes from an interactive multimedia program
Creators: name: Lee, Karen Vickie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: With the intent of improving music pedagogy, the purpose of this research study was to adapt Gowin's Vee for educators to use to effectively evaluate knowledge outcomes from an interactive multimedia (IMM) program called The Orchestra. The Orchestra, designed for grades 4-7 children, is an IMM computer tutorial designed with the authoring tool Macromedia Director 4.0. The objectives of this study were to determine the reliability of the Vee, to determine the comparative effects of two types of uses of the Vee, and to determine the comparative effects of two groups of subjects who possessed music knowledge and who possessed little music knowledge on the knowledge outcomes from an IMM program. Sixty-two subjects participated in this research study. The sample of subjects, whose ages ranged from 18 to 45 years old, included full-time and part-time teachers and student teachers enrolled in scheduled university music education or technology education classes. This sample represented a diverse group of teachers and student teachers who either possessed some music or some technology knowledge, and also possessed an interest in exploring IMM computer tutorials. None of the subjects had prior experience with the Vee or The Orchestra program. The results indicate that subjects who used the Vee during their investigation scored significandy higher than subjects who used the Vee after their investigation of the IMM program. In terms of objective validity, the Vee may be used to evaluate knowledge outcomes from an IMM program with some caution. Subjects who possessed music knowledge think differently about music than subjects who possessed little music knowledge. Perhaps critically thinking about music is different than critically thinking musically. This suggests critical thinking in music and critical thinking about music are two disparate types of learning. Assessing knowledge outcomes from the Vee requires another form of representation besides written text format since subjects were asked to write about their reflections of the IMM program and were not reflecting musically.

Vakil formulated a conjecture relating certain Hurwitz numbers (enumerating ramified coverings of the sphere) to the intersection theory on a conjectural Picard variety. We are going to use their formula to study the intersection theory on this variety (if it is ever to be constructed) by methods close to those of M. Kazarian and S. Lando in [7]. In particular, we prove a Witten-Kontsevich-type theorem relating the intersection theory and integrable hierarchies. We also extend the results of [7] to include the Hodge integrals over the moduli spaces, involving one lambda-class.

Acquisition of medical students' competencies to use information science and technology based on the new Japanese model core curriculum
Creators: name: Ota, Yuma
name: Asada, Yoshikazu
name: Matsuyama, Yasushi
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2024

description: Background

　As  information science and technology (IST) is expected to continue to develop in the future, Recent studies have highlighted the importance for medical students to acquire the competencies required to use  IST related to digital health. In Japan, learning objectives related to the use of IST are described as competencies in the Model Core Curriculum for Medical Education (MCC)—an official guide for undergraduate education.Regarding the competencies of students who have studied under the existing curriculum to use IST, information is insufficient.

　Our research focused on the following research question: Do medical students under the current curriculum self-assess the acquisition of the competencies required to use IST? 



Summary of Work

　We conducted a -sectional study using a questionnaire from November 1, 2022 to February 28, 2023 among final-year medical students (sixth year) at all 82 medical schools in Japan. The items for self-assessing medical students’ competencies required for using IST were developed the learning objectives described as competencies in the MCC 2022 Revision. 



Summary of Results

　The 824 participants who agreed to participate in the study provided valid responses with no missing values for any questionnaire items. 

In particular low self-assessment for IST subcompetencies included “The regulations, laws, and guidelines”, “Ethical issues, such as social disparities”, and “IST related to medical care”.

In these all subcompetencies, students who self-assessed themselves as able or somewhat able tended to report having taken related classes (p < 0.05). 



Discussion and Conclusion

　One reason for this result is the lack of learning opportunities related to these three subcompetencies in Japanese medical schools. The 2017 revised MCC, which constitutes the current curriculum, only includes the operation of electronic medical records and the protection of patients' electronic personal information and does not include other competencies to use IST. The new MCC will also include classes related to the three subcompetencies for which self-assessment was low.



Take-home Message

　The results suggest that conducting relevant classes in medical schools is important for acquiring competencies to make use of IST. After the new curriculum is implemented and relevant classes are conducted, Japanese medical students' self-assessments need to be re-assessed.

description: Background

From the BMJ to Times Higher Education, calls to decolonise medicine and the academy continue to gain momentum. But what would that look like? Many communities define themselves as having been racialised through the oppressive processes of colonial rule forming the foundations of our professions. We define decolonising as decentering whiteness, colonialism, and our institutionalised practices that uphold these values. Responses to these calls include the development of new educational opportunities designed to center the needs of racialised, subjugated, and otherwise marginalized groups. Unfortunately, our academic processes recreate racial hierarchies. We cannot dismantle racism without addressing the educational structures within which racism functions. Exclusively led by racialized academics, this workshop provides a view of health professions education through the lens of our lived experiences.



Who should participate

Senior faculty and department leadership seeking to decolonize medicine. Academics of all levels seeking to learn more about decolonizing medicine.

  

Structure of workshop 

Our 90-minute workshop will start with a brief didactic session to introduce the workshop team and establish a shared understanding of concepts used in the workshop. The workshop used an innovative reflective toolkit developed by the DARe Group Collaborative to engage and learn from narrative testimonies to guide workshop participants through learning from the narratives of the workshop presenters. 



Intended Outcomes 

At the end of this workshop, participants will:

1) Analyze the impact of colonialism in perpetuating inequity 

2) Identify one take home action to decolonize aspect(s) of their institution

3) Synthesize workshop knowledge to design an action plan for implementation in their institution using our template. 

4) Co-Create a community of practice to assist participants in implementing tangible change in their institutions.
Minimizing Maintenance Cost Involving Flow-time and Tardiness Penalty with Unequal Release Dates

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Performance (cs.PF)

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper proposes important and useful results relating to the minimization of the sum of the flow-time and the tardiness of tasks or jobs with unequal release dates (occurrence date), with application to maintenance planning and scheduling. Firstly, the policy of real-time maintenance is defined for minimizing the cost of tardiness and critical states. The required local optimality rule (FTR) is proved, in order to minimize the sum or the linear combination of the tasks' flow-time and tardiness costs. This rule has served to design a scheduling algorithm, with O(n 3) complexity when it is applied to schedule a set of n tasks on one processor. To evaluate its performance, the results are compared to a lower bound that is provided, in a numerical case study. Using this algorithm in combination with the tasks urgency criterion, a real-time algorithm is developed to schedule the tasks on q parallel processors. This latter algorithm is finally applied to schedule and assign preventive maintenance tasks to processors in the case of a distributed system. Its efficiency enables, as shown in the numerical example, to minimize the cost of preventive maintenance tasks, expressed as the sum of the tasks tardiness and flow-time. This corresponds to costs of critical states and of tardiness of preventive maintenance.

description: We use a dynamical systems approach to investigate Bianchi type I and II universes in quadratic theories of gravity. Due to the complicated nature of the equations of motion we focus on the stability of exact solutions and find that there exists an isotropic FRW universe acting as a past attractor. This may indicate that there is an isotropisation mechanism at early times for these kind of theories. We also discuss the Kasner universes, elucidate the associated centre manifold structure, and show that there exists a set of non-zero measure which has the Kasner solutions as a past attractor. Regarding the late-time behaviour, the stability shows a dependence of the parameters of the theory. We give the conditions under which the de Sitter solution is stable and also show that for certain values of the parameters there is a possible late-time behaviour with phantom-like behaviour. New types of anisotropic inflationary behaviour are found which do not have counterparts in general relativity.

description: $z$-Scaling of inclusive spectra as a manifestation of self-similarity and fractality of hadron interactions is illustrated. The scaling for negative particle production in $Au+Au$ collisions from BES-I program at RHIC is demonstrated. The scaling variable $z$ depends on the momentum fractions of the colliding objects carried by the interacting constituents, and on the momentum fractions of the fragmenting objects in the scattered and recoil directions carried by the inclusive particle and its counterpart, respectively. Structures of the colliding objects and fragmentation processes in final state are expressed by fractal dimensions. Medium produced in the collisions is described by a specific heat. The scaling function $ψ(z)$ reveals energy, angular, multiplicity, and flavor independence. It has a power behavior at high $z$ (high $p_T$). Based on the entropy principle and $z$-scaling, energy loss as a function of the collision energy, centrality and transverse momentum of inclusive particle is estimated. New conservation law including fractal dimensions is found. Quantization of fractal dimensions is discussed.

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the politics of the Quartet

description: The 'Quartet' is an informal diplomatic mechanism designed to coordinate the efforts of major actors within the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Formed in 2001, the grouping is composed of representatives from the United States, the European Union, Russia and the Office of the UN Secretary General. Existing analysis of the Quartet, especially concerning the capacity of the grouping to facilitate both individual and collective outcomes for its members, is in some respects misleading. This thesis establishes the historical precedents to the formation of the Quartet, and examines the outputs and outcomes of the grouping within the politico-strategic context of the Middle East peace process from 2001-2011. It presents each of the Quartet members as actors, who, while working in support of a peace process between the Israelis and Palestinians, also hoped to advance their national or organisational objectives through the association itself. By examining the interplay between the complimentary and competing agendas and capabilities of the Quartet members, the thesis aims to provide enhanced insight into the role of external parties in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Accordingly, it examines the key factors that motivated individual governments and institutions to form the Quartet, and analyses the extent to which the Quartet members had both collective and individual objectives for the grouping. In examining whether these objectives were achieved during the period, the thesis argues that the outcomes of the Quartet were shaped by its internal decision-making processes, the exclusivity of the US-Israel relationship, the nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the regional contexts in which its members sought collective influence. It argues that the Quartet demonstrated potential as a diplomatic tool, although in practice it had greater utility as a forum for coordination among its members than for influencing the behaviour of the parties to the conflict.
Walking a careful line : bridging feminist theory to pedagogical practice in secondary schools
Creators: name: Short, Pamela Susanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this qualitative study is to understand and describe the work of five feminist teachers and to determine the extent to which feminist pedagogical theory is addressing the realities of secondary school teaching. I endeavour, in this study, to answer the following questions: Where are the gaps in the theoretical literature? How do the teachers define a feminist practice? What opportunities do they create in which to introduce a critical, feminist perspective to their classes? What elements of feminist theory can be reframed to work within the secondary school? How does the current structure of schools impose limits on the possibilities? What obstacles, constraints and contradictions are encountered in this work? In essence, to what extent have the goals of gender equity been achieved in the secondary school context? I conducted sequential interviews with the teachers and observed their classes. I discovered through this process that two levels of feminist teachers' work have not been adequately discussed in the literature: their efforts to revise content and their activism within the school environment. I devote much of this thesis to the description and analysis of this work. I also examine the themes that have evoked ongoing discussion and critique in the feminist pedagogical literature. I explore how the teachers make sense of the most problematic elements of this theory and identify which of those elements are most germane to the secondary school site. In this study, I focus on' the perspectives and experiences of teachers, but as I strive to illustrate, their work is profoundly influenced by the attitudes and responses of many people within and outside the school culture. Students (and sometimes parents), administrators and fellow educators, those involved in the development of the official curriculum and the selection of resources, all play a role in determining what the teachers can accomplish within their particular circumstances. Throughout the study I pay close attention to context, and in doing so, hope to contribute to an understanding of the material, social and structural conditions that shape and define the work of feminist teachers in secondary schools.

The results of numerical calculations at intermediate energies are in reasonable agreement with the data. At RHIC energies numerically large inelastic screening corrections (percolation effects) should be accounted for in calculations. We extract these effects from the existing RHIC experimental data on minimum bias and central d+Au collisions. The predictions for p+Au interactions at LHC energy are also given.

description: This dissertation explores the journeys of black women protagonists to self-awareness or consciousness in three novels by Afra-Ecuadorian writer Luz Argentina Chiriboga.  This study analyzes the five paradigms that come together to create a level of consciousness that may be described as Chiriboga's poetics.  These paradigms of consciousness include historical consciousness, Afra-feminist consciousness, erotic consciousness, identity and empowerment. Chiriboga's goal through her literary works is to awaken in her people, the blacks of Esmeraldas, a significant level of consciousness about their history, their culture, and their own empowerment. In her first novel, Tambores bajo de mi piel, the teenager Rebeca leaves her Pacific coast home for the urban city of Quito during the political unrest of the 1960s to attend high school.  She experiences various sensual encounters with different men while pining for her ideal man Julio. Through these adventures, Rebeca begins to understand herself thereby achieving a level of empowerment which enables her to return home and run her family's farm. Chiriboga's second novel Jonat?s y Manuela is a historical novel that takes place during Ecuador's period of slavery prior to South American independence.  It follows three generations of a family of women during slavery. The two title characters include Jonat?s, the third generation in the family, and her mistress, Manuela who was Sim?n Bolivar's lover.  Both eventually assist Bolivar in the war for independence. The last novel, En la noche del viernes, takes place in contemporary Ecuador and follows the journey of the protagonist Susana as she faces racism, betrayal, and a difficult marriage. Both Susana, as well as her friend Luz, overcome many obstacles to reach a high level of consciousness and eventually gain empowerment. .

description: Context. Planetary mass and radius data are showing a wide variety in densities of low-mass exoplanets. This includes sub-Neptunes, whose low densities can be explained with the presence of a volatile-rich layer. Water is one of the most abundant volatiles, which can be in the form of different phases depending on the planetary surface conditions. To constrain their composition and interior structure, it is required to develop models that calculate accurately the properties of water at its different phases. Aims. We present an interior structure model that includes a multiphase water layer with steam, supercritical and condensed phases. We derive the constraints for planetary compositional parameters and their uncertainties, focusing on the multiplanetary system TRAPPIST-1, which presents both warm and temperate planets. Methods. We use a 1D steam atmosphere in radiative-convective equilibrium with an interior whose water layer is in supercritical phase self-consistently. For temperate surface conditions, we implement liquid and ice Ih to ice VII phases in the hydrosphere. We adopt a MCMC inversion scheme to derive the probability distributions of core and water compositional parameters Results. We refine the composition of all planets and derive atmospheric parameters for planets b and c. The latter would be in a post-runaway greenhouse state and could be extended enough to be probed by space mission such as JWST. Planets d to h present condensed ice phases, with maximum water mass fractions below 20%. Conclusions. The derived amounts of water for TRAPPIST-1 planets show a general increase with semi-major axis, with the exception of planet d. This deviation from the trend could be due to formation mechanisms, such as migration and an enrichment of water in the region where planet d formed, or an extended CO$_{2}$-rich atmosphere.

description: There is a possibility that a major contradiction exist in beliefs of the people of  the island nation of Trinidad. There is a cosmopolitan dogma in Trinidad which  proclaims the existence of a raceless society where all groups are equal and live in  harmony. Trinidadians often use the term ‘ cosmopolitan’ to describe their country. This  thought influences the nature of the culture and philosophies of Trinidadians at home and  abroad. The census data of Trinidad and Tobago for 2000 shows substantial race and  ethnic differences in family income, occupation, and education. This dissertation project  explored the perceptions of immigrant Trinidadians on this cosmopolitan principle and its  impact on the interpretation of race, before and after their migration to the United States.  The goal was to understand the nature of this incongruity between belief and practice of a  race free existence. Another goal of this research was to compare the differences between  their perceptions of race in Trinidad and their perceptions of race in the United States.  Data for this research was collected through semi- structured interviews with 18  Trinidadian immigrants now living in the United States for two years or more. Findings  revealed themes that confirm participants’ interpretation of race in Trinidad through  cosmopolitanism which was not the same as their interpretation for the same in the  United States. Participants acknowledged racial differences but advocated the racial  harmony of cosmopolitan concepts, and also rationalized income inequalities without  race based explanations. Rationales for the income differences discussed were explained  with differences in social capital, aspirations and ambitions of Trinidadians. Their  perceptions of race before and after migration to the U. S. had changed. How this  cosmopolitan creed impacts the existence of inequality amongst the Trinidadian society  was understood. Trinidadian participants in this study strongly believed that race in the  United States and race in Trinidad were interpreted, understood and projected differently.  Neither age, time in U. S. nor ethnicity/ descent had a strong effect on their beliefs  regarding race.  Conclusions were presented which represented the perceptions of the Trinidadian  diaspora through contributions of Trinidadian immigrants in the United States on the  main concepts of race and cosmopolitanism. The study provided valuable knowledge on  the cultural psychology of immigration, the introduction of new ideologies in the new  home for new arrivals, and the social impact of the intersections of different ideologies,  concepts and paradigms in how participants created new referential cognitive  environments for interpretation of the world around them.

description: A model to determine the dose rate of a planar alpha-emitting surface, has been developed. The approach presented is a computationally efficient mathematical model using stopping range data from the Stopping Ranges of Ions in Matter (SRIM) software. The alpha dose rates as a function of distance from irradiated UO2 spent fuel surfaces were produced for bench-marking with previous modelling attempts. This method is able to replicate a Monte Carlo (MCNPX) study of an irradiated UO2 fuel surface within 0.6 % of the resulting total dose rate and displays a similar dose profile.

World War II

description: This study focused on the cultural transition and adjustment of Japanese women, commonly known as war brides, who married American military personnel after World War II and moved to the United States. Qualitative investigation by face-to-face semi-formal interviews was used to collect the data. This is an investigation of how these women made the transition from Japanese to American life, experiencing adaptation, acculturation and assimilation processes in a relatively short time. It is also an investigation of how they tell the stories of their lives. They were encouraged to talk about their lives and experiences freely. Thus, the major text consists of the participants' stories in their own words. Six participants from the Washington DC/Baltimore, MD areas were chosen who met four criteria: Japanese citizens at the time of marriage who moved to the United States between 1945 and 1965; the reason for emigration was their marriage to US military personnel connected to the Allied Occupation Forces or to subsequent military involvement in Japan during the same period; husbands' past and present occupations were not restricted to the military after the completion of their initial military duty; and neither age, religion, nor social and economic status would determine eligibility. Interviews were conducted either in English or Japanese, audio taped, and transcribed verbatim or translated into English for analysis. The participants talked about their lives in Japan before and after the war as well as in the US. The conclusion was the result of comparisons of all data for emerging themes or topics. Analysis revealed the five most frequently discussed topics to be intercultural relations, cultural clash or conflict, Japanese language and culture, independence, and race relations in the United States. In spite of differences in education, backgrounds or social positions, all participants adjusted remarkably well because of their independent streaks and mental strength. Their common sense intelligence, flexibility, endurance or a never giving up attitude, and their patience allowed them to survive in many difficult situations. Thus, the participants demonstrated an outstanding adaptability to make their newly adopted country their new homeland.
Comparison of near-interface traps in Al$_2$O$_3$/4H-SiC and Al$_2$O$_3$/SiO$_2$/4H-SiC structures

description: Aluminum oxide (Al2O3) has been grown by atomic layer deposition on n-type 4H-SiC with and without a thin silicon dioxide (SiO2) intermediate layer. By means of Capacitance Voltage and Thermal Dielectric Relaxation Current measurements, the interface properties have been investigated. Whereas for the samples with an interfacial SiO2 layer the highest near-interface trap density is found at 0.3 eV below the conduction band edge, Ec, the samples with only the Al2O3 dielectric exhibit a nearly trap free region close to Ec. For the Al2O3/SiC interface, the highest trap density appears between 0.4 to 0.6 eV below Ec. The results indicate the possibility for SiC-based MOSFETs with Al2O3 as the gate dielectric layer in future high performance devices.

description: SwiftJ0243.6+6124, the first Galactic ultra-luminous X-ray pulsar, was observed during its 2017-2018 outburst with \emph{AstroSat} at both sub- and super-Eddington levels of accretionwith X-ray luminosities of $L_{X}{\sim}7{\times}10^{37}$ and $6{\times}10^{38}$$ergs^{-1}$, respectively.Our broadband timing and spectral observations show that X-ray pulsations at ${\sim}9.85\rm{s}$ have been detected up to 150keV when the source was accreting at the super-Eddington level.The pulse profiles are a strong function of both energy and source luminosity,showing a double-peaked profile with pulse fraction increasing from $\sim$$10{\%}$ at $1.65\rm{keV}$ to 40--80$\%$ at $70\rm{keV}$.The continuum X-ray spectra are well-modeled with a high energy cut-off power law($Γ$${\sim}$0.6-0.7) and one or two blackbody components with temperatures of $\sim$0.35$\rm{keV}$ and $1.2\rm{keV}$, depending on the accretion level.No iron line emission is observed at sub-Eddington level, while a broad emission feature at around 6.9keV is observed at the super-Eddington level, along with a blackbody radius($121-142\rm{km}$) that indicates the presence of optically thick outflows.
