Effects of Worked Examples on Far Transfer
Creators: name: Kim, Young Ran

Year: 2013

description: Increasing students' transfer of problem-solving skills is one of the main goals of instruction. This review focuses on using worked examples as instructional methods to increase students' problem-solving skills in far-transfer tasks. Worked examples are well-known instructional methods from Cognitive Load Theory (CLT). CLT researchers posit that worked examples are effective instructional methods for increasing far transfer of problem- solving skills because they can reduce the burden on working memory by contributing to schema construction and automation, and making cognitive resources available to deal with unfamiliar aspects of the problems. Previous studies have shown the effectiveness of studying worked examples for near transfer compared with engaging in problem solving. Is studying worked examples effective for increasing problem-solving skills for far-transfer tasks as well? I discuss the main findings of studies that have addressed this question. Some researchers have investigated whether adding instructional strategies to worked examples might increase their effectiveness for far transfer. I also review the main findings of these studies. The last question to be addressed is whether studying worked examples is a more effective way of fostering transfer for certain age groups compared with others. In my review of the literature, I found that studies on the effectiveness of worked examples showed diverging findings; employing instructional strategies such as self-explanation prompts, fading procedures, or adding subgoals might enhance the beneficial effect of studying worked examples on far transfer; and worked examples might be more beneficial for older age groups than younger age groups.

description: We introduce three tunable parameters to optimize the fidelity of quantum teleportation with continuous-variable in nonideal scheme. Using the characteristic function formalism, we present the condition that the teleportation fidelity is independent of the amplitude of input coherent states for any entangled resource. Then we investigate the effects of tunable parameters on the fidelity with or without the presence of environment and imperfect measurements, by analytically deriving the expression of fidelity for three different input coherent state distributions. It is shown that, for the linear distribution, the optimization with three tunable parameters is the best one with respect to single- and two-parameter optimization. Our results reveal the usefulness of tunable parameters for improving the fidelity of teleportation and the ability against the decoherence.

The NAEYC classroom portfolio process: examining the relationship between demographic characteristics and external factors that support teacher motivation
Creators: name: Kiser, Heather W.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: This study examined the relationship between demographic characteristics, (teacher age, education level, and prior NAEYC accreditation experience) and external factors (organizational structure and work climate) that support teacher motivation during the NAEYC classroom portfolio process. A self-administered survey was created and distributed online to early childhood teachers in one state who were responsible for compiling the classroom portfolio. Thirty-five teachers participated in this study. Correlation matrices and regression were used to test four hypotheses and examine the relationships between demographic characteristics and external factors. The results indicate a relationship between teacher age and organizational structure and work climate. In addition, a relationship was found between previous experience with NAEYC accreditation and work climate. Teacher age was best related to teacher perception of organizational structure and work climate. These results have implications for administrators and facilitation projects participating in the classroom portfolio process.

description: Osteoporosis is becoming a serious health problem currently due to rapid increase of the aging population. The anti-osteoporosis drugs however have many clinical limitations such as femur fractures, musculoskeletal pain, osteonecrosis of the jaw, and venous thrombosis and new drug for anti-osteoporosis are urgently demanded. Thus, this study aimed on comprehensively evaluating the clinical efficacy of herbal drugs on osteoporosis, especially according to its types. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)-derived relevant articles were searched using the following 9 databases including MEDLINE/Pubmed, Cochrane library, EMBASE, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) et al. The search keywords consisted of a combination of osteoporosis (“osteoporo*” [Title/Abstract] OR “bone loss” [Title/Abstract]) and herbal drugs (“herb*” [Title/Abstract] OR “chinese medicine” [Title/Abstract]). All RCTs should have included bone mineral density (BMD) score as an essential inclusion criterion, and and conducted meta-analysis through RevMan 5.4. To find out the effect of herbal drugs for BMD in osteoporosis, we performed meta-analysis on before and after taking herbal drug (initial BMD, last BMD). Also, by analysing control group (positive agents, placebo), type of osteoporosis (senile, postmenopausal) and treatment duration, we evaluated the effect of herbal drugs for difference of BMD. All extracted BMDs (lumbar spine, femoral neck and total body) were included in analysis to measure changes in overall BMD of the body. Also, the subgroups of treatment duration was consisted of 2 groups (6≤month<6) to evaluate change of effect every 6 months. This systematic review indicates the potential therapeutic effect of herbal drugs on osteoporosis, especially for senile type. This study provides a basis of herbs-derived drug developments for osteoporosis, while the standardized herbal products and well-designed RCTs are required in the future.

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN MOVEMENT QUALITY, CUMULATIVE INTERNAL TRAINING LOAD, AND MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM RESPONSE IN COLLEGIATE VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS
Creators: name: Cates, Samantha

Year: 2016

description: Aberrant lower extremity biomechanics and high training loads are associated with increased injury risk. This study determined the relationship between biomechanical patterns, training load, cartilage thickness changes, and muscle response during the preseason of 17 collegiate female volleyball athletes (age= 19.7±1.2 years; weight= 77.1±8.7 kg; height= 170.4±10.1 cm). Lower extremity biomechanics were assessed using overhead squat and jump-landing assessments. Vastus lateralis cross sectional area (CSA) and echo intensity and femoral condylar cartilage thickness were measured via ultrasound prior to and following preseason. Session-RPE and jump counts were totaled across all practice sessions. Individuals with poorer LESS scores demonstrated less hypertrophy of the vastus lateralis (r= -0.672, p= 0.003). Individuals with poorer overhead squat scores demonstrated greater decreases in medial femoral condylar cartilage thickness (r= -0.544, p= 0.024). Poor movement quality could be an underlying factor to quadriceps muscle inefficiency and femoral cartilage damage, which may increase injury risk.

description: The lattice simulations of $QC_2D$ with two flavors of staggered fermions and non-zero quark chemical potential $μ_q$ have been performed. Dependencies of the Polyakov loop, chiral condensate and baryon number density on $μ_q$ were studied. We found that an increase of the baryon chemical potential leads to chiral symmetry restoration. At small values of $μ_q$, our results for the baryon number density agree with ChPT predictions.

description: The European Union more often than not is either assumed or expected to play a leading role in international politics of climate change. This expectation emanates largely from the assumption that the EU as a normative power is able to induce change in international society. This paper intends to explore this assumed transformative potential of the EU in the specific context of climate politics. Suggesting an English School approach, in this paper I conceptualise the EU’s potential transformative impact as the solidarisation of international society. The advantage of such an analytical perspective is that it directs the focus on tensions and ambiguities that always and unavoidably exist in processes of change. In the paper, I first elaborate on the conceptualisation of change as solidarisation. Second, I spell out in detail what such a solidarisation means in international climate politics. Third, an empirical analysis of the EU’s discourse and practices in climate politics reveals whether the EU indeed acts as a source of solidarisation in this particular policy field. In contrast to the widespread assumption that consistency is key to change, this paper suggests that accepting and embracing ambiguities indeed enhances the EU’s contribution to solidarisation.

description: In diesem Beitrag arbeiten wir heraus, inwiefern Deutschrap ein innovatives Instrument des Regionalmarketings darstellt, das zur gezielten Vermarktung bestimmter geographischer Imaginationen über Orte und Regionen eingesetzt werden könnte. Hintergrund ist die im August 2022 gestartete und mit 260.000 € bezifferte Werbekampagne des Landesmarketings Brandenburg „jwd – jeder will dahin“, die das Ziel verfolgte, einen weitreichenderen Imagewandel zu bewirken, indem das Flächenland als attraktiver Wohn- und Gewerbestandort vermarktet werden sollte. In diesem Zusammenhang wurde der Rapper Finch engagiert, einen Raptrack zu veröffentlichen, welcher schon nach kurzer Zeit als neue „Brandenburg-Hymne“ in den Medien diskutiert wurde. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, am Beispiel des Rappers Finch zu analysieren, welches Image von Ostdeutschland im Deutschrap gezeichnet und zu kommerziellen Zwecken vermarktet wird. Wir werden dabei aufzeigen, dass Deutschrap zwar in kurzer Zeit eine hohe Reichweite bei speziell jüngeren Zielgruppen generieren kann, die Werbekampagne des Landes Brandenburgs durch die Auswahl des Rappers Finch jedoch schlussendlich Gefahr läuft, stereotypische und klischeehafte geographische Imaginationen über Ostdeutschland zu reproduzieren und damit zu einer Stigmatisierung dieser Region beizutragen.

Detection of Longitudinal Tooth Fractures Using Local Computed Tomography
Creators: name: Mora, Maria Alejandra
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility of Local Computed Tomography (LCT) for the detection of longitudinal fractures and to determine the effect of the number of basis images on the detection accuracy. In Part I, 10 observers' evaluated LCT image volumes generated with 180 basis images of fractured and non-fractured teeth. These were compared with conventional radiographs to assess the accuracy in detecting longitudinal fractures. Part II evaluated the effect of the number of basis images on the detection of longitudinal fractures. 180, 60, 36 and 20 basis images were tested. This study demonstrated that LCT provided a significant improvement in the accuracy of detecting longitudinal fractures compared to periapical radiographs. LCT maintains its efficacy for detecting longitudinal fractures with 60 instead of 180 basis images. A subsequent reduction to 36 basis images significantly reduced the detection rate.

description: We study theoretically the ultrafast spin dynamics of II-VI diluted magnetic quantum wells in the presence of spin-orbit interaction. We extend a recent study where it was shown that the spin-orbit interaction and the exchange sd coupling in bulk and quantum wells can compete resulting in qualitatively new dynamics when they act simultaneously. We concentrate on Hg$_{1-x-y}$Mn$_x$Cd$_y$Te quantum wells, which have a highly tunable Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Our calculations use a recently developed formalism which incorporates electronic correlations originating from the exchange $sd$-coupling. We find that the dependence of electronic spin oscillations on the excess energy changes qualitatively depending on whether or not the spin-orbit interaction dominates or is of comparable strength with the sd interaction.

description: We have carried out an ALMA survey of 15 confirmed or candidate low-mass (<0.2M$_\odot$) members of the TW Hya Association (TWA) with the goal of detecting molecular gas in the form of CO emission, as well as providing constraints on continuum emission due to cold dust. Our targets have spectral types of M4-L0 and hence represent the extreme low end of the TWA's mass function. Our ALMA survey has yielded detections of 1.3mm continuum emission around 4 systems (TWA 30B, 32, 33, & 34), suggesting the presence of cold dust grains. All continuum sources are unresolved. TWA 34 further shows 12CO(2-1) emission whose velocity structure is indicative of Keplerian rotation. Among the sample of known ~7-10 Myr-old star/disk systems, TWA 34, which lies just ~50 pc from Earth, is the lowest mass star thus far identified as harboring cold molecular gas in an orbiting disk.

description: Using the Tully-Fisher relation, we derive peculiar velocities for the 2MASS Tully-Fisher Survey and describe the velocity field of the nearby Universe. We use adaptive kernel smoothing to map the velocity field, and compare it to reconstructions based on the redshift space galaxy distributions of the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS) and the IRAS Point Source Catalog Redshift Survey (PSCz). With a standard $χ^2$ minimization fit to the models, we find that the PSCz model provides a better fit to the 2MTF velocity field data than does the 2MRS model, and provides a value of $β$ in greater agreement with literature values. However, when we subtract away the monopole deviation in the velocity zeropoint between data and model, the 2MRS model also produces a value of $β$ in agreement with literature values. We also calculate the `residual bulk flow': the component of the bulk flow not accounted for by the models. This is $\sim 250$ km/s when performing the standard fit, but drops to $\sim 150$ km/s for both models when the aforementioned monopole offset between data and models is removed. This smaller number is more in line with theoretical expectations, and suggests that the models largely account for the major structures in the nearby Universe responsible for the bulk velocity.

description: As education practices continue to move into online learning spaces the need for educators to be trained for the e-learning environment is of paramount importance. The intention of this Masters project was to provide the knowledge, skills as well as an example of this training to address my critical challenge question: What key elements should an educator consider when designing and delivering effective and engaging e-learning opportunities? I created an online course titled Learn2TeachOnline where educators could participate as a student in an online course while learning some of the essential considerations needed for online education. The course, created in the Moodle Learning Management System and hosted by Canadian eLearning Network (CANeLearn), was designed to take approximately two weeks to complete. Initial feedback regarding the course as a tool for educators to learn how to teach in the online environment was very positive. Applying some sort of credentialing, as well as approaching educational institutions in both the public and private sector, could broaden the reach of the course to many educators. Further investigation and research around connected e-learning opportunities such as blended learning and mobile learning would be encouraged.

description: We theoretically propose a scheme for the generation of a non-classical single-mode motional state of a mechanical resonator (MR) in the three-mode optomechanical systems, in which two optical modes of the cavities are linearly coupled to each other and one mechanical mode of the MR is optomechanically coupled to the two optical modes with the same coupling strength simultaneously. One cavity is driven by a coherent laser light. By properly tuning the frequency of the weak driving field, we obtain engineered Liouvillian superoperator via engineering the selective interaction Hamiltonian confined to the Fock subspaces. In this case, the motional state of the MR can be prepared into a non-Gaussian state, which possesses the sub-Poisson statistics although its Wigner function is positive.

Apolitics of Acknowledgement: (In)Action in Patchen Markell's Bound by Recognition
Creators: name: Malloy, Tamar
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2012

description: In Bound by Recognition Patchen Markell relocates interactions that confer respect, moving from a state-centered politics of recognition to a politics of acknowledgement based primarily on individuals' acceptance of their own human finitude. I argue that, while engaging and promising, Markell's theory lacks a politics and, therefore, the potential to create far-reaching social change. In support of this claim I examine obstacles to realizing a politics of acknowledgement, Markell's anachronistic focus on Jewish emancipation in Prussia, and the unique advantages of an antagonistic, state-based politics of recognition, with particular attention to gay rights movements in the United States. I conclude that Markell's warnings about the danger of recognition are exaggerated, and that while a politics of acknowledgement might usefully inform political practice it cannot provide psychic or material benefits on par with those that might be gained through a politics of recognition.

description: While advanced analysis of large dataset is in high demand, data sizes have surpassed capabilities of conventional software and hardware. Hadoop framework distributes large datasets over multiple commodity servers and performs parallel computations. We discuss the I/O bottlenecks of Hadoop framework and propose methods for enhancing I/O performance. A proven approach is to cache data to maximize memory-locality of all map tasks. We introduce an approach to optimize I/O, the in-node combining design which extends the traditional combiner to a node level. The in-node combiner reduces the total number of intermediate results and curtail network traffic between mappers and reducers.

description: The contribution of community health workers intervention involving self-help groups (SHGs) in improving maternal and child health has been recognized by various studies conducted across the globe. In Bihar, the third most populous state of India, the implementing partner, Project Concern International (PCI), a development organization has been implementing several health, nutrition and sanitation (HNS) interventions onto the networks of existing or newly created women’s SHGs since 2011. Findings from the pilot studies showed that women’s SHGs could be a promising social platform to layer health-related interventions through the behavior change communication (BCC) approach. Therefore, the Government of Bihar and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) deliberated for health integration within JEEViKA-Bihar Rural Livelihood Program (BRLP) using women’s SHGs in selected blocks across the state. JEEViKA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with PCI to provide technical support for improving maternal and child health indicators. In 2016, PCI established a technical support unit called the JEEViKA Technical Support Program (JTSP) to integrate health, nutrition and sanitation program within the existing microfinance and livelihood framework of JEEViKA. Serval cadres were created to support implementation of health interventions at different levels. Discussion on health and nutrition practices in weekly SHG meetings was one of the key strategies for health intervention adopted in JTSP. Some other strategies were reinforcement of messages through home-visits, community outreach activities, campaigns etc. Broadly, the role of JTSP in HNS integration within JEEViKA, which is itself evolving, includes handholding supports, technical oversight, capacity building of community cadres, strengthening system capacity and institutionalization of HNS within JEEViKA system. The evaluation partner, Population Council, India has been engaged in assessing a large-scale community-based health program through SHGs since 2011.
Dynamics and flow-coupling in two-layer turbulent thermal convection

description: We present an experimental investigation of the dynamics and flow-coupling of convective turbulent flows in a cylindrical Rayleigh-Benard convection cell with two immiscible fluids, water and fluorinert FC-77 electronic liquid (FC77). It is found that one large-scale circulation (LSC) roll exists in each of the fluid layers, and that their circulation planes have two preferred azimuthal orientations separated by $\simπ$. A surprising finding of the study is that cessations/reversals of the LSC in FC77 of the two-layer system occur much more frequently than they do in single-layer turbulent RBC, and that a cessation is most likely to result in a flow reversal of the LSC, which is in sharp contrast with the uniform distribution of the orientational angular change of the LSC before and after cessations in single-layer turbulent RBC. This implies that the dynamics governing cessations and reversals in the two systems are very different. Two coupling modes, thermal coupling (flow directions of the two LSCs are opposite to each other at the fluid-fluid interface) and viscous coupling (flow directions of the two LSCs are the same at the fluid-fluid interface), are identified with the former one as the predominant mode. That most cessations (in the FC77 layer) end up as reversals can be understood as a symmetry breaking imposed by the orientation of the LSC in the water layer, which remained unchanged most of the time. Furthermore, the frequently occurring cessations and reversals are caused by the system switching between its two metastable states, i.e. thermal and viscous coupling modes. It is also observed that the strength of the LSC in water becomes weaker when the LSC in FC77 rotates faster azimuthally and that the flow strength in FC77 becomes stronger when the LSC in water rotates faster azimuthally, i.e. the influence of the LSC in one fluid layer on the other is not symmetric.

Training Nursing Staff to Recognize and Respond to Suicidal Ideation in a Nursing Home

description: The purpose of this project was to develop and utilize an educational module to increase confidence and knowledge of nurses and nursing assistants in a nursing home regarding recognition of and response to suicidal ideation among residents. Despite federally mandated screenings and protocols for suicide risk in nursing homes, active and passive suicidal thoughts are common among nursing home residents in particular. Suicidal ideation is a significant issue in nursing homes due to associated distress and the negative impact upon quality of life. Depression and hopelessness are strongly associated with suicide and suicidal ideation, but nursing home staff members receive limited training about late-life depression and suicide. To address this problem, I utilized a quality improvement design that included a learning needs assessment and educational module. I developed a web-based educational module based upon evidence-based recommendations and toolkits and a learning needs assessment. I implemented the educational module, pre-test, post-test, and 30-day follow-up test for nursing staff volunteers. I analyzed data from the pre-test and post-tests, and I measured outcomes including: 1) increased knowledge about and confidence with discussing suicidal ideation with residents, 2) increased knowledge regarding recognition of depression and warning signs of suicide, and 3) improved knowledge about and confidence with implementation of the site’s suicidal ideation protocol. Results from the initial pre-test, post-test, and evaluation suggested that the confidence and knowledge levels of nursing staff improved after completing the educational module, as evidenced by increased test scores and generally high confidence levels reported on evaluation survey responses. Results from the evaluation questions suggested that the nurses likely experience a higher level of confidence regarding recognizing and responding to suicidal ideation among residents, and nursing assistants may benefit from reinforcement of education regarding responding to residents expressing suicidal ideation and familiarity with the site’s current suicidal ideation protocol. With increased knowledge and confidence responding to and recognizing suicidal ideation in nursing homes, nursing staff can help residents experience reduced morbidity and mortality related to suicidal ideation.

Antiferromagnetic majority voter model on square and honeycomb lattices

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: An antiferromagnetic version of the well-known majority voter model on square and honeycomb lattices is proposed. Monte Carlo simulations give evidence for a continuous order-disorder phase transition in the stationary state in both cases. Precise estimates of the critical point are found from the combination of three cumulants, and our results are in good agreement with the reported values of the equivalent ferromagnetic systems. The critical exponents $1/ν$, $γ/ν$ and $β/ν$ were found. Their values indicate that the stationary state of the antiferromagnetic majority voter model belongs to the Ising model universality class.

description: In this work a novel approach is presented for the isogeometric Boundary Element analysis of domains that contain inclusions with different elastic properties than the ones used for computing the fundamental solutions. In addition the inclusion may exhibit inelastic material behavior. In this paper only plane stress/strain problems are considered. In our approach the geometry of the inclusion is described using NURBS basis functions. The advantage over currently used methods is that no discretization into cells is required in order to evaluate the arising volume integrals. The other difference to current approaches is that Kernels of lower singularity are used in the domain term. The implementation is verified on simple finite and infinite domain examples with various boundary conditions. Finally a practical application in geomechanics is presented.

The effect of aerobic and anaerobic exercise protocols on postural control
Creators: name: Fox, Zachary G.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Sideline management of a suspected mild head injury includes postural control assessments typically performed shortly after exercise. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of fatigue on postural control in healthy college-aged athletes using forceplate measures and the Balance Errors Scoring System (BESS). Post exercise recovery of postural control measures were also observed following each exercise protocol at specific time intervals. Thirty-six Division I collegiate athletes participated in this study. Statistical analysis revealed a significant decrease in postural control assessed immediately after an anaerobic and aerobic exercise protocol performed to fatigue (p < 0.001). Postural control deficits from fatigue returned to baseline between eight and thirteen minutes following each exercise protocol. Administering the BESS immediately following exercise may yield false-positive findings due to the effect from fatigue. Athletic trainers and clinicians should be aware of the impact of fatigue on postural control and the fatigue recovery time course when determining an appropriate time to administer sideline assessments of postural control following a suspected mild head injury.
