description: This paper gives an in-depth description of the research design in the pursuit of clustering of students’ performance when solving different types of linear equations. The student performances are clustered using data from 457,185 answers to equation tasks, made by 37,585 students, distributed across 3,438 unique linear equations in a digital learning environment. The tasks consist of different categories of linear equations. The clustering analysis contributes to the development of an online tool to provide the teachers with easy accessible formative assessment. At this point, the attempt to cluster the students’ performance have not yet been successful, meaning that no clusters are found. Instead, a description of how the pursuit of these clusters will continue is presented alongside the research design.

description: This paper reports on the planning of a pilot study where the aim is to develop and investigate teaching practices, using connected classroom technology (CCT), to support formative classroom practices in mathematics. The focus is on the design of a teaching unit including a whole-class discussion drawing on students’ computer-based work. The paper outlines both generic and topic-specific theories underpinning the design. Moreover, findings from a previous study, in terms of student responses to a task developed for a dynamic mathematics software environment, are used in the planning. One important issue addressed in this paper is the sequencing of student responses to display and use as a basis for whole-class discussions.

description: Automated online formative assessment of students' work in a rich digital environment has the potential to support and develop students' reasoning process. Previous studies have presented the challenge of designing e-tasks. Here we focus on the challenge of designing a personal online formative assessment that supports the students' reasoning process. A common type of online formative assessment is elaborated feedback. We provide a design principle for elaborated online feedback of students’ work on an online example-eliciting task (EET) using the Seeing the Entire Picture (STEP) platform. We demonstrate two cases of attribute isolation elaborated feedback (AIEF) design, and the case of a pair of students who used the AIEF to support their reasoning process.

It was a preliminary experiment conducted inside a second course of calculus (Mathematical Analysis 2) for about 200 students in Managerial and Electronic Engineering at University of Udine. A survey was also administered to evaluate the appreciation of the students about the quizzes. From the survey, we found out that the quizzes were well chosen, and they discriminated adequately between higher and lower student subject knowledge. Moreover, they helped students to find gaps in their preparation and to keep up with the lessons.

description: Utilizing a deep Borehole Heat Exchanger (BHE) has been recognized as a clean, renewable, low-carbon-emission, and sustainable way for heating of residential buildings and greenhouses. In this study, the long-term performance of horizontal deep BHE in intermittent mode is scrutinized. In this regard, to predict the transient heat transfer process in the deep BHEs, a mathematical model is developed and then verified by using the experimental results. The effect various key parameters including flow rate of circulating fluid, undisturbed ground temperature, inlet fluid temperature, and ground thermal conductivity on the thermal performance of deep BHE in continuous and intermittent mode is studied. According to the results, increasing the flow rate of circulating fluid, undisturbed ground temperature, and ground thermal conductivity is favorable for heat extraction rate. Moreover, the effect of three specific parameters for intermittent operation including periodic time interval, flow rate ratio, and recovery period ratio on the long-term performance of horizontal deep BHE are scrutinized. Based on the results, by decreasing the periodic time interval and increasing the flow rate ratio, the mean heat extraction rate in the period of 30 years is increased and the mean borehole’s wall temperature is decreased. Furthermore, by increasing the recovery period ratio, the heat extraction rate increases significantly while the total extracted energy decreases.

description: In this paper, we propose a model for building natural language explanations for Bayesian NetworkReasoning in terms of factor arguments, which are argumentation graphs of flowing evidence, relatingthe observed evidence to a target variable we want to learn about. We introduce the notion of factorargument independence to address the outstanding question of defining when arguments should bepresented jointly or separately and present an algorithm that, starting from the evidence nodes and atarget node, produces a list of all independent factor arguments ordered by their strength. Finally, weimplemented a scheme to build natural language explanations of Bayesian Reasoning using this approach.Our proposal has been validated in the medical domain through a human-driven evaluation study wherewe compare the Bayesian Network Reasoning explanations obtained using factor arguments with analternative explanation method. Evaluation results indicate that our proposed explanation approachis deemed by users as significantly more useful for understanding Bayesian Network Reasoning thananother existing explanation method it is compared to.

description: Silent video tasks are currently being developed in collaboration with four mathematics teachers in different upper-secondary schools in Iceland. In silent video tasks, teachers invite students to watch a short silent mathematics film and ask them to work in pairs to prepare and record their voice-over to the video. Next, teachers listen to students’ solutions and plan a follow-up lesson in which they initiate a whole-group discussion. The data collection focused on the teachers’ expectations and experiences with the silent video task. Thus, the teachers were interviewed before and after assigning the task, and after the follow-up lesson to better understand their experiences. This paper focuses on one of the four participating teachers and discusses the potentials of silent video tasks as means of formative assessment.

description: In this study we aim to characterize the challenge related to sketching functions by constrained sketching on a grid. Our research question is as follows: What are the characteristics of sketching graphs by dragging points vertically in assessment e-tasks? Specifically, which functionality does this design support? Towards this goal we explore how students construct a sketch of f'(x) based on a given graphic representation of f(x), and vice versa, how they construct a sketch of a function based on the graphic representation of its derivative. The analysis of 114 submissions of high-school students, support the formation of assessment tasks’ design principles for drawing a sketch. The sketch that students construct makes it possible to characterize each submission with respect to the actions the students took at critical or non-critical points; to whether they attend to certain points separately or to domain and to conjecture about various concept images.

description: This volume describes the background to the excavations, and the stratigraphy and structures found on the sites. It also contains a discussion of the structures in their Roman context, and includes a review of work in the town up to December 1989. The 1964-66 excavations uncovered the principal Stratford to Droitwich road, two minor roads, many buildings and enclosures, a substantial ditch, and human burials. There was no evidence of formal planning. Agricultural and industrial functions are suggested for some of the structures. There was successive rebuilding on several sites. One of the most significant results of the excavations is the demonstration of the considerable variety of building types to be found in a Romano-British small town. A medieval drying kiln is also reported.Separately authored reports begin with an introduction section `Physical background' (1-3) and `Roman Alcester: the state of knowledge in 1964' (8-11) both by Paul Booth.

description: This study compares the different characteristics of student answers addressed during classroom discussion by mathematics school teachers in various settings. The study examines 3 9th grade mathematics teachers from the same school in Israel, all of whom taught the topic of quadratic functions. We examined and analyzed the teachers' choices and sequencing of the different characteristics of parabola sketches in a classroom discussion about student answers. The teachers analyzed student answers either manually or using the Seeing the Entire Picture (STEP) automatic formative assessment platform. Findings suggest a difference between the characteristics that teachers addressed in the classroom discussions in the two conditions. In the manual setting, teachers focused on incorrect features of the example, whereas in the automatic setting they focused on characteristics that emphasize different mathematical dimensions.

description: Council for British Archaeology Research Reports, 88
description: Excavations carried out in 1981 and 1986 provided evidence for at least two periods of major public works. The earliest construction appears to mark the first colonisation of the area and dates from late first or early second century AD. The final building phase, of the late third century AD, was clearly intended to dominate the riverfront with an impressive urban monument. An introduction to previous work in the area and the geological and topographical background of the site is followed by a description of the layout, construction and function of buildings from Periods I and II and a discussion of the development and context of the south-west quarter. The archaeological evidence from the sites of Peter's Hill, Sunlight Wharf, and Salvation Army Headquarters is detailed, with a report on the latter by Peter Marsden (63). The following section reproduces a collection of eighteenth and nineteenth century observations of features in the vicinity of the recent excavations and the relationship between the two is discussed in the final chapter. The volume concludes with: `Appendix 1: tree-ring dating of oak timbers from Peter's Hill and Sunlight Wharf' by Jennifer Hillam (95--9); `Appendix 2: The building material' by Ian Betts (99--101); `Appendix 3: timber supplies (101--2); `Appendix 4: Archive Reports -- availability (102); `Appendix 5: Site numbering (102). The `Index' is by L Adkins & R Adkins (107--8).

description: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework is recognised throughout the world as a significant global agreement that has been adopted by all UN members. These goals represent a solution to sustainability problems dealing with nations’ economies, the natural environment and societies. However, making progress towards achieving these goals has not been as effective as originally intended. One of the major concerns is whether the SDGs will be achieved globally by 2030. Given the current damage wrought internationally by the COVID-19 pandemic, what is required is a coordinated global effort to achieve the SDGs. In this uncertain time, an era of corona virus outbreaks, when countries’ resources are finite and the deadline is fast approaching, prioritisation is necessary to allocate resources effectively. Several attempts have been made to prioritise SDGs by quantifying synergies. However, systematic methods to identify the magnitude of how to enhance the SDG index by improving individual SDGs is lacking. The objective of this paper is to identify synergetic SDGs using Boosted Regression Trees model which is a machine learning and data mining technique. In this study, contributions of all SDGs to form the SDG index are identified and a “what-if” analysis is conducted to understand the significance of goal scores. Findings show that SDG3, “Good health and well-being”, SDG4, “Quality education”, and SDG7, “Affordable and clean energy”, are the most synergetic goals, when their scores are >60%. The findings of this research will help decision-makers implement effective strategies and allocate resources by prioritising synergetic goals.

description: This paper reports on a small-scale quantitative study conducted in a middle school in Germany that compared the effects of two types of feedback on reactivating procedural skills with fractions. Tasks and feedback were implemented in a STACK-based digital learning environment that allowed randomization of numerical and graphical elements of a task as well as automated analysis of student responses to each of the numerical or graphical variations of each task. Due to a small data basis, observations are statistically not verified, but nevertheless point to unexpected results: Especially low achievers seem to benefit more from the error analysis type feedback than from feedback that provided fully worked out solutions. If true, this result suggests that for reactivating and practising skills, error-based feedback is more effective than worked out examples.

description: The Department for Evaluation, Prospective and Performance (DEPP) at the French ministry of education provides deciders with data analysis on the state of the French educational system. French students’ performance is measured through Large Scale Assessments (LSA). From 2018, DEPP’s LSA instruments are computer based when it comes to assess secondary school students. In mathematics, new test instruments have been developed embedding digital tools in support of the mathematical task. This paper presents the results of a study aiming at profiling student’s mathematical activity, based on a “big-data” analysis of the digital traces left in technology enriched interactive items by a sample of 9-graders in France. Results give hard evidence of how data science in education can benefit from the mixed contribution of three paramount aspects: technology, analytics and didactics.

description: Papers given at a CBA conference held at Cardiff, January 3-5, 1969, are introduced by Joseph Raftery, who outlines the problems needing research (pp 1-10). In Ireland the chief priority is to find habitations and burials to provide a context for the isolated metalwork finds. There is so far no fixed chronological point, but a rough sequence appears thus: c 200 BC a transitional period, still LBA in essentials; then native production of La Tène style bronzes to c AD 0; then a romanising period of unknown length. For Wales, with its apparently non-native metalwork, the submission is that EIA evidence is even more tenuous. Welsh-Irish contacts were intermittent and small-scale, and the Irish Sea traffic was north-south rather than west-east. (Other papers are abstracted in 72/1631, 1638, 1645, 1654, 1658, 1661-2.)

description: Background Infective endocarditis (IE) caused by Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) is increasingly reported and associated with an aggressive course and high mortality rate. Existing literature on GBS IE is limited to case series; we compared the characteristics of patients with GBS IE to patients with GBS bacteremia without IE to identify risk factors for development of IE. Methods A nested case–control study in a cohort of adult patients with GBS bacteremia over a 18-year period was conducted across seven centres in three Canadian cities. A chart review identified patients with possible or definite IE (per Modified Duke Criteria) and patients with IE were matched to those without endocarditis in a 1:3 fashion. Multivariate analyses were completed using logistic regression. Results Of 520 patients with GBS bacteremia, 28 cases of possible or definite IE were identified (5.4%). 68% (19/28) met criteria for definite IE, surgery was performed in 29% (8/28), and the overall in-hospital mortality rate was 29% (8/28). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that IE was associated with injection drug use (OR = 19.6, 95% CI = 3.39–111.11, p = 0.001), prosthetic valve (OR = 11.5, 95% CI = 1.73–76.92, p = 0.011) and lack of identified source of bacteremia (OR = 3.81, 95% CI = 1.24–11.65, p = 0.019). Conclusions GBS bacteremia, especially amongst people who inject drugs, those with prosthetic valves, and those with no apparent source of infection, should increase clinical suspicion for IE.

description: Often mathematics teachers are reluctant to use even free digital tools, such as GeoGebra and Scratch, due to their lack of insight and conviction about how tools impact learning, but also other contextual and personal factors, involving their own digital competencies and confidence in their technological pedagogical knowledge. In this paper, we take a theoretical look at four frameworks regarding teachers’ mathematical, pedagogical and technological knowledge and competencies and discuss the potentials of networking these four theoretical frameworks, namely KOM, MKT, TPACK and instrumental orchestration. We use this networking of theories as a basis for coining the notion of teachers’ mathematical digital competencies when teaching mathematics.

Institutional Strategies

description: This template is intended to assist research institutions in developing an institutional research data management (RDM) strategy, both to fulfil the first requirement of the Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy and to articulate their commitment to RDM at the institutional level. It consists of suggested activities and processes in five stages to inform and shape the creation of an RDM strategy that meets local needs and resource capacities. Crucially, it is intended as a process, rather than a product template -- it provides steps for how to develop an institutional strategy, not a template outlining what an institutional strategy document itself looks like. In fact, these processes should be seen as ongoing to inform strategy updates over time and to help align institutional RDM efforts with broader institutional goals, objectives, policies, and services. While it is recommended that institutions employ each of the strategy development activities included in this template, your institution may choose to engage in each activity at a level of depth and detail appropriate to its size, research intensity, and existing RDM capacity. The institutions which will be required to create RDM strategies are postsecondary institutions and research hospitals eligible to administer Tri-Agency funds. See both the Tri-Agency RDM Policy and Statement of Principles on Digital Data Management, which outline expectations and responsibilities for RDM in the academic community. For definitions of RDM terms in this document, please refer to the CASRAI Research Data Management Glossary.
Burial in the Roman world

description: Papers given at a seminar in London at Easter 1974 which 'aimed to cover the methods and main areas of burial (regional, chronological, and special) and, more important, the methods being used to study the material'. John Collis (1-13) provides a context by surveying pre-Roman burial rites in NW Europe; these were quite varied apart from an area of cremation burials extending from central Rhine to E England. A variety of rites is also seen in Italy, in Glenys Davies' summary (13-19) although she identifies certain trends up to the time of Augustus. The use of a quantitative approach is urged by Rick Jones (20-5) since attributes from large numbers of graves cannot be handled otherwise. The specific case of Owslebury is treated by Collis (26-34); here seventy burials have been excavated at the fringes of and scattered through a small rural settlement of EIA-RB date. The realm of theory and belief as expressed in RB pagan burials is discussed by Jock Macdonald (35-8). Malcolm Todd (39-43) provides a brief survey of burials among the Free Germans 100 BC-AD 300, and notes the type and level of Roman influence. R Reece (44-5) has studied two Latin texts throwing light on burial customs. The significance of 'plaster' burials for the recognition of Christian cemeteries is C J S Green's subject (46-53), while Philip Rahtz discusses the problems of Late Roman cemeteries in Britain into 5th century and beyond, with particular reference to Cannington.

description: Papers from a conference in 1977 demonstrate the progress made in petrological studies in particular, but also discuss the uses of ethnography evidence in understanding axe distributions. The history of implement petrology in Britain is outlined by W F Grimes (pp 1-4) from its formal beginnings in 1952. W A Cummins (5-12), in discussing distribution studies of the eight most abundant stone axe groups, pays special attention to the unusual patterns of Groups I and VI which appear to indicate a two-stage distribution process. Radiocarbon dates form the basis of I F Smith's chronology (13-22) of British implements of Neo-BA; for shafthole implements there is some additional help from typology. Further development of the typological theme comes from F E S Roe (23-48) on shafthole implements (battle axes, mace heads, etc.) particularly as the increasing availability of petrological identifications lends improved confidence. From the Continent, C-T Le Roux (49-56) presents new data for some of the Breton petrological groups, and discusses them in terms of social organization and axe production. Linear Pottery sites in the Netherlands have yielded adzes of various rock types from Central Europe, the Siebengebirge and Eifel, as discussed by C C Bakels and C E S Arps (57-64). In Britain again, T G Manby (65-81) presents a typological and distributional study of Yorkshire flint and stone axes, of which 700 have been sectioned; he also discusses the ?seasonal (?transhumance) movements which might have brought Lake District axes to Yorkshire, and considers the problem of modern axe 'forgeries'. The flint and stone axes of the E Midlands are C N Moore's topic (82-6), while a field survey made on the Langdale and Scafell Pike axe factory sites in 1961 is described by C H Houlder (87-9). The fine jade and jadeite implements of western Europe are studied by A R Woolley et al (90-6); their typology in terms of length, width and thickness ratios is worked out and related to the constituent pyroxenes as determined by electron microprobe analysis. Axe technology is discussed by G R Coope (98-101) who points out that while some rocks could be flakcd and leave characteristic debris of axe-making, others had to be pecked into shape, leaving only dust residues. Experimental work on hafting and using stone axes is reported by A Harding & R Young (102-5), this is a long-tem forest clearance project. John Coles is also experimenting with stone axes for making wicker hurdles as found in the Somerset Levels (106-7). Finally there are two ethnographic contributions: Pat Phillips (108-12) examines evidence from recent contexts of production, acquisition and consumption of stone axes in New Guinea, while prehistoric Australian stone exploitation and exchange systems are the topic of Isabel McBryde (113-26, with petrology by A Watchman).

description: Part one summarises the history and archaeology of Tamworth and describes its topography and that of the excavated areas. The circumstances and methods of excavation are then briefly discussed. Part two places the results of the two campaigns in context and summarises their phasing and chronology. Each excavation is then considered in turn. The 1971 excavations at the mill and millpool area produced evidence for prehistoric activity, through Roman, to Saxon mill phases and finally medieval and post medieval. An account of the 1978 excavations covers the objectives of the excavation and continues with descriptions of the features, which included the mill leat, its revetment, and a possible bridge. The medieval town ditch and phases of industrial activity and building were also identified. The evidence from both excavations is then collated. Part three covers finds, with stone subdivided into sections on `Millstones' (70--9) and `Other stone' (79) by Susan M Wright, (with `Millstone petrology' by David Williams on microfiche 2F6--8). Short notes then cover fired and burnt clay, mortar, plaster, glass, metalworking residues and the steel bearing block. `Iron (IR)' is dealt with by Patrick Ottaway (80--6). Further notes cover copper alloy, lead, coins (which comprised a cartwheel and jetton), botanical and other organic residues, carved wood, animal bone/fibre and leather. `Pottery (P)' by Victoria Nailor with Susan M Wright includes thin-section analysis by David M Williams (110--122). Dendrochronology and radiocarbon determinations are mentioned in conclusion of this section. Evidence for the construction of the mill is finally considered in more detail. A possible reconstruction of the building, the way the machinery functioned and the effects of the mill on its immediate environment are discussed. A concluding summary is followed by a glossary of terms relating to watermills.
