Written Exercises: Ancestral Magic and Emergent Intellectuals in Mia Couto, Lhoussain Azergui and Dorota Masłowska
Creators: name: Lukaszyk, Ewa
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Comparative literature

description: The article consists in a comparative reading of three novels: Um rio chamado tempo by Mia Couto, Le pain des corbeaux by Lhoussain Azergui and Paw królowej by Dorota Masłowska. In spite of the difference of the historical circumstances of Mozambique, Morocco and Poland, these three books meet at an intersecting point: the emergence of an intelligentsia that uses literacy and writing as an instrument to deconstruct the post-colonial concept of nation and to operate a trans-colonial renegotiation of identity. By the notion of trans-colonial, I understand the opposition against new kinds of symbolic violence that emerged after the end of the colonial period; here this new form of oppression is related to the concept of national unity – an artificial construct that leaves no place for a dualism or pluralism of cultural reality (two shores of the Zambezi river, Arab and Berber dualism in Morocco, “small homelands” in Poland). The young heroes of the novels grasp the pen in order to break through the falseness or the taboos created by the fathers, establishing, at the same time, the relation of solidarity with the world of the grandfathers. The act of writing becomes an actualization of the ancestral universe of magic. The settlement of accounts with the parental generation concerns the vision of nation built upon the resistance against the colonizer (it also refers to the Polish cultural formation, based on the tradition of uprisings and resistance against the Russians).
EXPLORING THE PATHWAY OF RURAL STUDENTS INTO THE ENGINEERING FIELD
Creators: name: De urquidi, Karen A.
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Other engineering not elsewhere classified

description: As diversity continues to be promoted in engineering, one category of students has largely been forgotten. That is the rural student. While rural students make up 20% of all public-school students, college enrollment rates for these students are lower than those of other locales. Reasons for the lower enrollment rates are explored in this research by examining the pathway of rural students into the engineering field. As previous studies on rural students have used differing definitions of rural, this work uses a definition of rural set forth by the National Center of Education Statistics along with the U.S. Census Bureau, to provide more consistency for future research on the rural student. This work includes multiple related studies. The first study examines the characteristics of the rural student to identify differences between students from rural areas and other locales. A case study then illustrates the distribution among locales of students applying to, being admitted to, and attending an engineering program at a large mid-Atlantic public university. This research shows that students from rural distant and rural remote locales come from communities that contain fewer racial/ethnic minorities than all other locales. There is less availability of Advanced Placement courses in these locales, specifically for courses related to STEM fields, and the percentage of students from these locales who apply to university is lower than for all other locales.

The intended purpose is to assess the feasibility of teaching FYC in the high school classroom and to consider views from the perspectives of students, teachers, and scholars in order to formulate a comprehensive conclusion. One key dispute in composition studies is whether students who write compositions as critical thinking assignments actually become better critical writers and thinkers. Proponents argue that this method establishes better writing and thinking skills among college and university students, while critics argue that since these skills do not necessarily transfer to other courses and/or disciplines, FYC should either be abolished or largely revised. This thesis suggests that the benefits of FYC clearly outweigh the problems many have cited and that key mitigation measures can be used to improve FYC courses.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This article explores the effectiveness of digital flashcards compared to traditional paper flashcards for vocabulary acquisition in language learners. Through a quantitative study involving a six-week intervention, participants were assigned to either digital or paper flashcards and evaluated on vocabulary retention and acquisition. The study found that digital flashcards significantly improved vocabulary retention, thanks to features like multimedia integration, customizable repetition schedules, and immediate feedback. Qualitative feedback indicated that digital flashcards were more engaging and motivating. The findings suggest that digital flashcards are a valuable tool for enhancing vocabulary learning, providing insights for educators and learners on incorporating technology to improve language proficiency. Further research is recommended to understand the specific mechanisms driving these improvements.

Keywords: Technology-enhanced tools, digital flashcards, language learning, vocabulary acquisition, spaced repetition, multimedia integration, immediate feedback, engagement, language learners, educators, interactive functionalities, retention, innovation in education, modern language education, effective language learning strategies, technology integration, learning outcomes, enhancing language acquisition, educational technology, student preferences

description: In the 16th century most of Russia is still a terra incognita with a highly dubious and mostly mythologized geography, anthropology, and sociology. In this article we look at some texts of the Early Modern period – Sir Thomas Smithes Voiage and Entertainment in Rushia (1605), Peter Mundy’s Travel Writings of 1640–1641, and The Voiages and Travels of John Struys (1676–1683) – and try to uncover the transformation of the obscure country into a more or less charted space, filled with narratives of adventures and travels in an enigmatic land on the verge of Europe, where exotic cultures are drawn together in a flamboyant mix. It is travel narrative that actually charts the territory and provides an explanation from which stems a partial understanding, physical and cultural, of the “Land of the Unpredictable.”

description: Background: Loss of employment contributes significantly to the burden of stroke on individuals and society. There is limited information on factors influencing return to work after stroke. Objectives: To investigate the frequency and determinants of return to paid work after stroke in a multi-ethnic urban population. Methods: Patterns of return to work were examined among people with first ever stroke registered in the population based South London Stroke Register.Employment status and functional outcome (Barthel Index (BI), Frenchay Activity Index (FAI)) were assessed 1 year after stroke. Associations between baseline characteristics and return to paid work were analysed by multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results: Among 2874 patients with first ever strokes in 1995–2004, 400 (15%) were working before the stroke. At 1 year, 94 (35%) of 266 survivors had returned to paid work. Black ethnicity (OR 0.41; 95% CI 0.19 to 0.88), female sex (0.43; 0.21 to 0.91), older age (p,0.001), diabetes (0.25; 0.08 to 0.79) and dependence (BI (19) in the acute phase (0.24; 0.11 to 0.49) were independently associated with lower odds of return to work in multivariable analysis. Better functional outcome at 1 year was associated with return to paid work (p,0.001) but 53% of 161 independent (BI .19) and 39% of 96 very active (FAI .30/45) individuals had not resumed work. Conclusions: There were important sociodemographic differences in return to work after stroke that were independent of clinical and service use variables included in the analysis. A large proportion of patients did not resume work despite excellent functional outcome.

description: Bernardino de Ávila Girón was a Spanish merchant and notary who lived in Japan between 1594 and 1619. He traveled from Spain to Manila around 1583, took up residence in Nagasaki and was living there when six missionaries and twenty Japanese were crucified on February 5, 1597. He witnessed the persecution of Christians after the edict of expulsion of European missionaries on February 14, 1614. Based on these experiences and his observation of Japanese customs, he wrote the Relación del reyno del Nippon al que llaman corruptamente Jappon, the only secular account written in Spanish about Japan and the failed expansion of Christendom in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

description: From 1994 to 2009, national field epidemiology training programmes (FETP) have been installed in Spain, Germany, Italy, France and Norway. During their two year duration, different components of the FETP are devised as follows: 63-79 weeks are spent on projects in hosting institutes, 2-26 weeks in outside projects, 9-30 weeks in courses and modules, and 1-2 weeks in scientific conferences. A considerable proportion of the Spanish FETP has is provided conventional class room training . The content of the modules is very similar for all programmes. Except from the Italian programme, all focus on infectious disease epidemiology. The German and Norwegian programmes are so called EPIET-associated programmesas their participants are integrated in the modules and the supervision offered by EPIET, but salaries, facilitators, and training sites are provided by the national programme. These EPIET-associated programmes require strong communications skills in English. Alumni of all five FETP are generally working within the public health work force in their respective countries or at international level, many of them in leading functions. Although three new FETP have been installed since the last published Euroroundup in Eurosurveillance on European FETP in 2001, the progress with respect to the establishment of national FETP or EPIET-associated programmes has been slow. Member States should be aware of how much support EPIET can offer for the establishment of national FETP or EPIET-associated programmes. However, they also need to be ready to provide the necessary resources, the administrative environment and long-term dedication to make field epidemiology training work.
Transparent Conducting Oxides for Epsilon-Near-Zero Nanophotonics
Creators: name: Devault, Clayton T.
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Nonlinear optics and spectroscopy

description: Epsilon-near-zero materials are an emerging class of nanophotonic materials which engender electromagnetic field enhancement and small phase variation due to their approximate zero permittivity. These quasi-static fields facilitate a number of unique optical properties such as supercoupling, subwavelength confinement, and enhanced light-matter interactions, which has made epsilon-near-zero media a rapidly expanding field of optical physics. Contemporary methods of realizing a system with zero permittivity rely on microwave cavities/waveguides or complex metal-dielectric metamaterials; however, both techniques require advanced fabrication and their operational wavelength is fixed relative to their geometric and optical parameters. It remains an open and substantial challenge to realize an epsilon-near-zero material at pertinent wavelengths, particularly near- and mid-infrared, with tunable/dynamic properties. The focus of this thesis is the exploration of transparent conducting oxides for the development of epsilon-near-zero nanophotonic phenomena and applications. Transparent conducting oxides have an inherent low permittivity, in addition to simple fabrication and tunable optical properties, making them exceptionally promising. Application of transparent conducting oxide films for highly confined modes, nonlinear/ultrafast optics, and strongly coupled systems are discussed.

description: This is a translation of one of the most influential poetic series of the late-ninth century, the twenty-four “Mountain-Dwelling Poems” written by the Buddhist monk Guanxiu (832–913). Focusing on the speaker’s use of imagery and allusion, the translations are accompanied by annotations which clarify obscure or difficult passages. An introduction places these poems in their historical context and highlights some ways in which they build syntheses out of perceived oppositions (original and revision; Buddhism, Daoism, and classical reclusion; solitude and community; readers’ various perspectives; poem and series). An afterword briefly sketches the method and circumstances of the translation.
Jiǎ Dǎo's Rhythm, or, How to Translate the Tones of Classical Chinese
Creators: name: Mazanec, Thomas
Publisher: name: Humanities Commons
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Chinese literature

description: Since the early twentieth century, translators and critics of classical Chinese poetry have tended to focus on imagery and suggestion, balking at rhythm. It is commonly assumed that modern English and classical Chinese are too different, phonemically, for any of the aural qualities of one to translate into the other. My essay aims to overcome these differences through a series of experimental translations of poems by Jiǎ Dǎo 賈島 (779–843). I begin with a discussion of linguist/translator Henri Meschonnic’s definition of rhythm as “the organization of movement in speech,” a concept which includes a poem’s performance and audience, its effect on its community and language at particular points in time. For a master craftsman of tonal patterning and parallelism like Jiǎ Dǎo, this means it is necessary to establish a method for translating medieval Chinese tonal prosody. Drawing on the theory that the medieval Chinese tonal binary of “level” 平 and “deflected” 仄 tones emerged out of the Sanskrit syllabic binary of light (laghu) and heavy (guru) syllables, I translate each level tone into a stressed long vowel and each deflected tone into a stressed short vowel in English. This creates a real yet subtle shift in the rhythm of the translation, carrying over some of Jiǎ Dǎo’s force on language in time. Thus, in translating Jiǎ Dǎo’s rhythm, I aim to translate his illocutionary power: not just what his poems say, but what they do.
POPULATION GENETICS AND GENOMICS TO UNDERSTAND THE INVASIVE HISTORY OF THE CACAO PATHOGEN MONILIOPHTHORA RORERI
Creators: name: Diaz Valderrama, Jorge Ronny
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2019
Subjects: Plant pathology

description: Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) is an ancestrally cultivated crop that has been the source of one of the most beloved commodities, chocolate. Its worldwide demand has shaped the history of its cultivation. In Chapter 1, the center of origin of cacao, its center of domestication, the most outstanding movements of germplasm from the Pre-Columbian to the Republican era, the appearance and discovery of major diseases, among other important economic, agricultural and social aspects regarding cacao cultivation are reviewed. The following chapters focus on one of the major pathogens of cacao in the Americas, Moniliophthora roreri causing frosty pod rot disease. Chapter 2 presents evidence that the center of origin of M. roreri is not limited to the Magdalena Valley in Colombia, as other studies have suggested, but extends to Ecuador and the Peruvian Upper Amazon. Chapter 3 focuses on the A and B mating type loci diversity of M. roreri and reports a new A mating allele in Colombia and new mating types in Colombia, Ecuador and infers the presence of even more mating types in Ecuador and the Peruvian Upper Amazon. Additionally, Chapter 3 introduces rapid approaches to collect M. roreri  and to diagnose mating types. Finally, Chapter 4 touches the genomic aspect of M. roreri and its close relatives within the Marasmiineae suborder. It presents the most complete genome of a Moniliophthora species generated so far and describes the evolution of predicted effectors and other proteins that might be involved in pathogenicity in this suborder. It also releases a custom program called SyLOCAL that evaluates synteny of a cluster of genes between two genomes.
Stability Analysis and Design of a Tracking Filter for Variable Frequency Applications

Subjects: subject: Controls and Control Theory

description: The work presented in this thesis is a frequency adaptive tracking filter that can be used in exact tracking of power frequencies and rejection of unwanted harmonics introduced during power disturbances. The power synchronization process includes power converters and other equipment that have many non-linear components that introduce unwanted harmonics. This new design is motivated by the requirement of a filter that can filter all the harmonics and exactly track a rapidly varying fundamental frequency with little time delay and phase error. This thesis analyzes the proposed filter mathematically based on Lyapunov theory and simulations are presented to show the performance of the design in rapid frequency variations.

Surgery of the bovine rumen

description: Rumenotomy and rumenostomy are commonly performed surgical procedures in cattle to relieve a variety of conditions affecting the bovine forestomachs, including hardware disease, foreign body ingestion, choke, and bloat. The location of the rumen against the left body wall makes it a convenient access point for proximal GI structures in the bovid, including the reticulum, the reticulo-omasal orifice, and the rumen itself. Although rumen surgery is commonly performed by veterinarians in both referral settings and in the field, few studies have focused on surgery of the rumen. In particular, long-term outcomes of rumen surgery in cattle have not been examined. The last retrospective study on rumen surgery, published in 1950, suggested a short-term success rate of 35/50 (70%), with 12/50 (24%) of animals dying within one month of the surgical procedure. The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate indications and outcomes (both short- and long-term) of rumenotomy and rumenostomy in cattle.

description: Background: Only few studies have focused on the cognitive processes of the respondents that are involved when answering physical activity questionnaires (PAQs). This study aimed at examining whether two PAQs work as intended with different segments of the survey population in different cultural settings in Europe. Methods: The International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ-SF) and the US National Health Interview Survey - Adult Core Physical Activity Questionnaire (NHIS-PAQ) were tested in Belgium, Estonia, Germany and the UK using a standardized cognitive interviewing procedure. IPAQ-SF measures total vigorous physical activity (PA), moderate PA, walking and sitting. NHIS-PAQ measures leisure-time vigorous PA, light and moderate PA and muscle-strengthening PA. In total 62 persons completed cognitive interviews, at least 15 interviews were conducted in each country. Results: Both PAQs performed as intended with young and high-skilled persons and those having a regular exercise schedule. For the others, however, the testing revealed that problems occurred with both PAQs relating to understanding the concepts of ‘(light and) moderate’ and ‘vigorous’ PA, classifying activities into the provided answer options of different PA intensities, recalling instances of ‘normal’ activities such as walking and sitting, and calculating the total duration of more than one activity or instance of an activity. The revealed problems with the questionnaires were quite similar in different countries; profound cultural differences were not observed. Conclusions: Both questionnaires were difficult to answer for many respondents and rather user-unfriendly. They are designed to measure an exactness of PA quantity (frequency and duration) and intensity which would be desirable to obtain from a scientific point of view; however, respondents can hardly provide this information for cognitive reasons. Studies investigating the respondents’ perspective are useful for improving physical activity information based on self-reports.

Effectiveness of Online Professional Development for Technical Educators

Subjects: Other engineering not elsewhere classified

description: Numerous studies have shown multiple benefits gained through professional development for teachers, which address increasing pedagogical content knowledge, increasing student achievement and increasing teacher job satisfaction (Banks, 2008; Colbert, Brown, Choi &Thomas, 2008; Dash, de Kramer, O’Dwyer, Masters & Russell, 2012). However, barriers to professional development, including cost, time and access, make face-to-face professional development sessions difficult to meet teacher needs (Carr, 2016). Online professional development can help to address these barriers, while meeting the needs of teachers. Employing best practices established through both online learning pedagogy and professional development techniques, teachers can increase their pedagogical content knowledge and opportunities for collaboration using online platforms. This study demonstrated, using a blend of qualitative and quantitative assessments that online professional development was comparable in effectiveness to face-to-face professional development in preparation for teaching an introductory logistics course and the Manufacturing Skills Standards Council Certified Logistics Associate certification exam.
Where Does Evidence Come From?: Crowd-Sourced Digital Archive DH/CBL Project for Students at Two-Year Institutions

description: Combining my passions for professional development and social justice, I continue to seek the sweet spot between digital humanities and online community-based learning. DH is particularly exciting for students at two-year, open access institutions because it has the potential to level the playing field as well as to give under-represented communities a voice and the opportunity to offer their own narratives to counter those presented in dominant culture. In this assignment, I ask my writing students to consider more deeply how knowledge is constructed and on whose terms through a reflection paper on their experiences with crowd-sourced digital archives.

description: Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infections are not reportable in Germany and limited data on prevalence are available. CT screening has been offered free of charge to pregnant women since 1995 and to all women under 25 years since 2008. For symptomatic women and men, diagnostic testing is covered by statutory health insurance. We describe the establishment of a nationwide, laboratory-based, voluntary sentinel that electronically collects information on all performed CT tests with test results, test reason and patient information. The sentinel represents one third of all performed CT tests in Germany. In the period from 2008 to 2014, 3,877,588 CT tests were reported, 93% in women. Women aged 20–24 years and men aged 25–29 years were the most frequently tested age groups. The overall proportion of positive tests (PPT) among women was 3.9% and among men 11.0%. The highest PPT among women was in the age groups 15–19 (6.8%) and 20–24 years (5.9%), and among men in the age groups 20–24 (19.2%), 15–19 (15.4%) and 25–29 years (14.8%). The PPT for CT was high among women and men younger than 25 years. Prevention is urgently needed. Monitoring of CT infection in Germany should be continued.
