Anxious for Answers: A Meta-Analysis of the E!ects of Anxiety on African American K-12 Students’ Mathematics Achievement

Year: 2015

description: Mathematics anxiety is recognized as a significant performance impediment that affects students across multiple ethnic and economic backgrounds. However, research has yet to fully examine the possible differential effect of mathematics anxiety on underrepresented K-12 students. Specifically, given the long-standing achievement gap between African American and White students it is imperative that the possible differential effect of mathematics anxiety on African American students be addressed. The purpose of this study was to utilize the techniques of meta-analysis to summarize the effects of anxiety on mathematics achievement in K-12 African American student populations. The results suggest that anxiety has a statistically significant effect on the mathematics achievement of representative samples of African American students. Furthermore, this effect is mediated by student grade level. More representative research is needed to better ascertain the factors that promote and sustain mathematics anxiety in African American student populations. In particular, studies that disaggregate results based on student race are necessary for more robust estimates of this phenomenon.

description: We study magnetotransport in a high mobility Si two-dimensional electron system by in situ tilting of the sample relative to the magnetic field. A pronounced dip in the longitudinal resistivity is observed during the Landau level crossing process for noninteger filling factors. Together with a Hall resistivity change which exhibits the particle-hole symmetry, this indicates that electrons or holes in the relevant Landau levels become localized at the coincidence where the pseudospin-unpolarized state is expected to be stable.

title: In search of a better fly trap: chemical and visual ecology of Drosophila suzukii
Creators: name: Little, Catherine M.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: Drosophila suzukii is an invasive species of concern to fruit growers throughout temperate regions worldwide. Unlike most Drosophila species, D. suzukii has an enlarged and heavily sclerotized ovipositor that allows female flies to lay eggs in fruits before they are fully ripened and, in most cases, before fruits are harvestable. Initial efforts at mitigating damage have relied on chemical pesticides to reduce D. suzukii populations in crop areas; however, on-going research efforts have focused on more environmentally sustainable integrated pest management alternatives. This thesis investigates aspects of D. suzukii behaviour and physiology that promoted its successful global invasion. Chapter one discusses the role of behavioural and physiological plasticity in giving D. suzukii an ecological edge during introduction and successful invasion. Chapter two investigates D. suzukii host selection behaviour and preference among commercial fruits and novel native fruits in a boreal environment. I investigated the fruit characters thought to play a role in host choice, including fruit sweetness (brix), fruit acidity (pH), and fruit firmness (penetration force [gfmm2]). Based on D. suzukii behaviour observed in field settings, the investigation was expanded to include the role of fruit and foliage colour in host selection. Additionally, we beta-tested a citizen science initiative to identify native fruit species at risk and to confirm the range limits of D. suzukii in Atlantic Canada. Chapter three further explores colour preference and use of colour by D. suzukii as attraction cues, first as cues to differentiate among fruits of different ripeness stages, and second as visual targets for potential use in monitoring traps. Chapter four investigates D. suzukii physiological sensitivity and behavioural activity to odorants associated with fruits and foliage, and odorants known to be important to other Drosophila species. An iterative process of laboratory and field trials was used to test individual odorant compounds and odorant blends in combination with results of colour preference testing to improve trapping efficacy. Given the behavioural and physiological plasticity of D. suzukii, trials were conducted among different fruit crops and growing environments. Chapter five synthesizes lessons learned about D. suzukii behaviour and preferences to make recommendations for effective monitoring traps for blueberry and raspberry crop systems.

description: Systematic ensemble photoluminescence studies have been performed on type-I InP-quantum dots in Al0.20Ga0.80InP barriers, emitting at approximately 1.85 eV at 5 K. The influence of different barrier configurations as well as the incorporation of additional tunnel barriers on the optical properties has been investigated. The confinement energy between the dot barrier and the surrounding barrier layers, which is the sum of the band discontinuities for the valence and the conduction bands, was chosen to be approximately 190 meV by using Al0.50Ga0.50InP. In combination with 2 nm thick AlInP tunnel barriers, the internal quantum efficiency of these barrier configurations can be increased by up to a factor of 20 at elevated temperatures with respect to quantum dots without such layers.

description: Using a positive semidefinite operator technique one deduces exact ground states for a zig-zag hexagon chain described by a non-integrable Hubbard model with on-site repulsion. Flat bands are not present in the bare band structure, and the operators $\hat B^{\dagger}_{μ,σ}$ introducing the electrons into the ground state, are all extended operators and confined in the quasi 1D chain structure of the system. Consequently, increasing the number of carriers, the $\hat B^{\dagger}_{μ,σ}$ operators become connected i.e. touch each other on several lattice sites. Hence the spin projection of the carriers becomes correlated in order to minimize the ground state energy by reducing as much as possible the double occupancy leading to a ferromagnetic ground state. This result demonstrates in exact terms in a many-body frame that the conjecture made at two-particle level by G. Brocks et al. [Phys.Rev.Lett.93,146405,(2004)] that the Coulomb interaction is expected to stabilize correlated magnetic ground states in acenes is clearly viable, and opens new directions in the search for routes in obtaining organic ferromagnetism. Due to the itinerant nature of the obtained ferromagnetic ground state, the systems under discussion may have also direct application possibilities in spintronics.

description: Elementary Education pre-service teachers are noted for disliking and even fearing mathematics, so a teaching strategy that increases their enjoyment of mathematics learning must be a powerful one, indeed. When the same strategy can also support problem posing and assess mathematical knowledge and reasoning, providing an occasional alternative to testing, it becomes something to share with other teachers. In this article, we share our experiences with having students represent their understanding of mathematical concepts through cartooning in a Mathematics Education course for Early Childhood Education pre-service teachers. We believe these strategies will work with much younger students, and we suggest future avenues for refining the technique. Data for this study include the cartoons students produced and their answers to a survey on the process of using cartoons to represent their mathematical understanding.

description: The knowledge of a molecule’s binding partners can provide insights into that molecule’s function and/or its involvement in a particular biological process. FlyBase curation of molecular interactions is primarily focused on capturing protein-protein, RNA-protein and miRNA-mRNA interactions from low-throughput studies, in which interactions are typically supported by multiple independent forms of evidence. By concentrating on low-throughput studies of Drosophila gene products, the FlyBase molecular interactions dataset complements that of interaction databases and consortia that tend to focus on high-throughput studies.

The eta-prime results are the most precise to date and provide the largest energy and angular coverage. The eta measurements extend the energy range of the world's large-angle results by approximately 300 MeV. These new data, in particular the eta-prime measurements, are likely to help constrain the analyses being performed to search for new baryon resonance states.

description: Many mathematics teacher educators encounter the challenge of creating or choosing mathematical tasks that evoke important mathematical insights and connections yet remain firmly grounded in school mathematics. This challenge increases substantially when trying to meet the needs of practicing secondary mathematics teachers pursuing graduate work in mathematics. This paper articulates characteristics of mathematical tasks that can help teachers develop their mathematical knowledge grounded in school mathematics by drawing on (a) work with practicing secondary mathematics teachers in a mathematics graduate program and (b) relevant research literature on the professional development of mathematics teachers and profound understanding of fundamental mathematics for teaching.

Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2015

description: In this paper I describe classroom experiences with pre-service secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs) investigating and extending patterns embedded in the Pythagorean configuration. This geometric figure is a fruitful source of mathematical tasks to help students, including PSMTs, further develop habits of mind such as visualization, experimenting, looking for and noticing patterns, conjecturing, inventing, constructing mathematical arguments, and posing problems. By carrying out these tasks, the PSMTs were also engaged in a plethora of mathematical practices recommended by the Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI). The use of the Geometer’s Sketchpad facilitated the accomplishment of most of these activities. As students of mathematics, these PSMTs were engaged in activities to reinforce some of their mathematical habits of mind and experienced learning new mathematical ideas and processes through practices that exemplify typical mathematical thinking. As future teachers, they were engaged in tasks so they can, in turn, design or adapt instructional tasks to develop further their own students’ habits of minds and engage them in learning mathematics through the mathematical practices advocated by the CCSSI.

description: This study investigated the effects upon elementary preservice teachers’ mathematics teaching self-efficacy and interdisciplinary lesson design strategies, which resulted from an educational intervention that emphasized integrated music-mathematics instruction. The participating elementary preservice teachers (n=152) were recruited for this study from the College of Education students enrolled at a medium-sized southwestern research university in the United States. Several sources of data were collected, including pre- and post-intervention surveys assessing self-efficacy for mathematics teaching and interdisciplinary-themed instructional design. The overall findings from both surveys indicated that the participating preservice teachers’ mathematics teaching self-efficacy and their interdisciplinary teaching strategies were improved as a result of the intervention. This paper concludes with a discussion of the potential applications to pedagogical practice that accrue from the study's findings, as well as suggestions for further research extending this line of inquiry.

Poorly water soluble drugs

description: Amorphous solid dispersions are an effective formulation approach to enhance the solubility of the increasing number of poorly water-soluble drugs in development pipelines. The two most common formulation technologies to produce amorphous solid dispersions are hot-melt extrusion and spray drying, both of which have been used to commercialize numerous drug products in the past two decades. However, both technologies have their own unique advantages and disadvantages, making many poorly water-soluble drugs not processable by conventional techniques for either technology can Thus, there is a need for innovative formulation technologies to overcome limitations within the current processing space for amorphous solid dispersions The subsequent chapters focus on continued innovation within the field of amorphous solid dispersions. The research demonstrates the ability to expand the current processing space of KinetiSol® processing by incorporating a novel excipient, Candurin®, that enables prolonged mixing at lower processing temperatures to produce amorphous solid dispersions. Further, the research demonstrates that residual crystallinity after processing can decrease degradation for thermal- and shear-sensitive drugs while remaining stable during stability and providing suitable bioavailability enhancement in-vivo. Additionally, a new technology was invented to produce amorphous solid dispersions. A novel application of selective laser sintering three-dimensional printing was applied to thermal- and shear-sensitive poorly water-soluble drugs to demonstrate its ability to successfully form an amorphous formulation state without degradation while providing solubility enhancement.
Acute Specialized Care of Patients with Ebola Virus Disease: Gaps and Opportunities

description: The World Health Organization received the first notification of an outbreak of Ebola virus disease in Guinea on March 23, 2014.1 By June 18, the outbreak was considered the largest outbreak of Ebola virus disease.2 On August 8, the epidemic was categorized as a "public health emergency of international concern."1 There were 3343 confirmed and 667 probable Ebola cases in Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone identified until September 14. Considerable attention has been focused on prevention of spread of Ebola virus within and outside the countries predominantly involved in the epidemic. There appears to be a lack of understanding of steps required and effort placed on reducing case fatality estimated at 70.8% among patients with known Ebola infection through specialized care

description: For time-to-event data with finitely many competing risks, the proportional hazards model has been a popular tool for relating the cause-specific outcomes to covariates [Prentice et al. Biometrics 34 (1978) 541--554]. This article studies an extension of this approach to allow a continuum of competing risks, in which the cause of failure is replaced by a continuous mark only observed at the failure time. We develop inference for the proportional hazards model in which the regression parameters depend nonparametrically on the mark and the baseline hazard depends nonparametrically on both time and mark. This work is motivated by the need to assess HIV vaccine efficacy, while taking into account the genetic divergence of infecting HIV viruses in trial participants from the HIV strain that is contained in the vaccine, and adjusting for covariate effects. Mark-specific vaccine efficacy is expressed in terms of one of the regression functions in the mark-specific proportional hazards model. The new approach is evaluated in simulations and applied to the first HIV vaccine efficacy trial.

description: We study the dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the nearby M81 group in order to construct their photometric metallicity distributions and to investigate the potential presence of population gradients. We select all the dwarf spheroidals with available Hubble Space Telescope / Advanced Camera for Surveys archival observations, nine in total. We interpolate isochrones so as to assign a photometric metallicity to each star within a selection box in the color-magnitude diagram of each dwarf galaxy. We assume that the dwarf spheroidals contain mainly an old stellar population. In order to search for metallicity gradients, we examine the spatial distribution of two stellar populations that we separate according to their metallicities. As a result, we present the photometric metallicity distribution functions, the cumulative histograms and smoothed density maps of the metal-poor and metal-rich stars as well as of the intermediate-age stars. From our photometric data we find that all the dwarf spheroidals show a wide range in metallicities, with mean values that are typical for old and metal-poor systems, with the exception of one dwarf spheroidal, namely IKN. Some of our dwarf spheroidals exhibit characteristics of transition-type dwarfs. Compared to the Local Group transition type dwarfs, the M81 group ones appear to have mean metallicity values slightly more metal-rich at a given luminosity. All the dwarf spheroidals considered here appear to exhibit either population gradients or spatial variations in the centroids of their metal-poor and metal-rich population. In addition, there are luminous AGB stars detected in all of them with spatial distributions suggesting that they are well mixed with the old stars.

description: There is a vital need in the mathematics and science teaching and learning community at the secondary school level for assistance for teachers in adapting curricular materials to meet the many district, state, and national demands and to facilitate high-quality learning of students and their ability to transfer this learning and apply it as they move forward to careers. This paper describes a set of resources in the form of Teacher Guides, which would teach educators how to keep up with the high tech, fast-paced world by allowing them to change existing teaching resources faster than new and updated curricula become commercially available. Teacher learning in the Teacher Guides would not be limited to a single educational practice. For example, Teacher Guides we anticipate creating would capitalize on the relationships and convergences found in CCSS-M practices, CCSS-LA student portraits, and NGSS science and engineering practices.

Examining the relationships between causal beliefs, colonial mentality, treatment credibility, and help-seeking intentions among Filipinos
Creators: name: Lingbaoan, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: One challenge of prescribing mental health counselling as a global remedy lies in its roots: counselling was developed and shaped primarily by Western culture and is based upon certain underlying culturally-influenced beliefs about the causes of psychological distress and how to treat it. It is reasonable to wonder then about its appropriateness in non-Western contexts and with non-Western individuals. Filipinos, for one, experience relatively high rates of mental health issues and yet are less likely to utilize Western-developed professional mental health services such as counselling. Currently, there is still limited empirical research conducted on how Filipino people’s cultural beliefs about mental distress and their endorsement of colonial mentality (CM), a form of internalized oppression that entails devaluing one’s own culture in favour of that which is Euro American or Western, might influence their perceptions of counselling as a credible healing practice and ultimately, their intentions towards seeking counselling. This study is premised upon Frank and Frank’s (1993) theory about the mechanisms of change in healing practices around the world and asserts that all healing practices share common features that lend to their efficacy. One such feature is a rationale that explains an individual’s presenting issues and informs what rituals or procedures are needed to relieve their symptoms. Accordingly, if the rationale aligns well with one’s cultural beliefs, an individual may be more likely to view that practice as credible and are more likely to seek out said treatment. A final sample of 342 Filipino adults who currently reside in the Philippines were included in this study. Multiple regression analyses were conducted with CM and three causal belief categories (stress, supernatural, non-Western physiology) as the primary predictors, respectively, treatment credibility (TC) as a mediator and predictor, and help-seeking intentions as the outcome variable. The results indicate that the three types of causal beliefs and CM were not statistically significant direct predictors of intent. In contrast, TC was found to not only be a significant predictor of help-seeking intentions but also significantly mediated the relationship between stress causal beliefs and supernatural causal beliefs with help-seeking intentions, respectively.

description: We study 2D Maxwell-dilaton gravity with higher order corrections given by the Chern-Simons term. The model admits three distinctive $AdS_2$ vacuum solutions. By making use of the entropy function formalism we find the entropy of the solutions which is corrected due to the presence of the Chern-Simons term. We observe that the form of the correction depends not only on the coefficient of the Chern-Simons term, but also on the sign of the electric charge; pointing toward the chiral nature of the dual CFT. Using the asymptotic symmetry of the theory as well as requiring a consistent picture we can find the central charge and the level of U(1) current. Upon uplifting the solutions to three dimensions we get purely geometric solutions which will be either $AdS_3$ or warped $AdS_3$ with an identification.

description: We obtain the time-dependent correlation function describing the evolution of a single spin excitation state in a linear spin chain with isotropic nearest-neighbour XY coupling, where the Hamiltonian is related to the Jacobi matrix of a set of orthogonal polynomials. For the Krawtchouk polynomial case an arbitrary element of the correlation function is expressed in a simple closed form. Its asymptotic limit corresponds to the Jacobi matrix of the Charlier polynomial, and may be understood as a unitary evolution resulting from a Heisenberg group element. Correlation functions for Hamiltonians corresponding to Jacobi matrices for the Hahn, dual Hahn and Racah polynomials are also studied. For the Hahn polynomials we obtain the general correlation function, some of its special cases, and the limit related to the Meixner polynomials, where the su(1,1) algebra describes the underlying symmetry. For the cases of dual Hahn and Racah polynomials the general expressions of the correlation functions contain summations which are not of hypergeometric type. Simplifications, however, occur in special cases.

description: Traditionally, teacher education programs have placed little emphasis on preparing mathematics teachers to work with students who struggle in mathematics. Therefore, it is crucial that mathematics teacher educators explicitly prepare prospective teachers to instruct students who struggle with mathematics by providing strategies and practices that specifically address their needs. In this study, we describe the principles of Universal Design for Learning and Response to Intervention. More specifically, we discuss how one Mathematics Teacher Educator uses these frame works in her mathematics methods course to help prospective teachers become cognizant of early interventions and effective strategies that can be implemented to provide all students with the greatest opportunity to learn.

description: With rising personal and public debt, public and private employers increasingly shifting financial responsibility to individuals, and an increase in both the number of financial investment options and predatory lending practices, today’s students need to be financially literate.This paper defines financial literacy and justifies its place in the mathematics curriculum. After describing the gaps in young people’s understanding of financial literacy, which is more pronounced among women and minorities, this paper provides examples of financial literacy exercises. College students’ solutions demonstrated that the level of financial literacy is low. The majority of students were unfamiliar with financial principles and concepts. Students found it difficult to estimate answers and judge the reasonableness of their solutions. Reading comprehension and general cognitive skills led students to incorrect answers. The difficulties students had reinforce the need for financial education and developing students’ general cognitive skills.

description: The roadmap describes typical programme goals, activities and capabilities needed against 7 themes, which are each further broken down into sub-themes and domains in what we can call the Goals Breakdown Structure (GBS). 
This document provides the overall goal for IDKM (establish a system and adopt international good practice for information, data and knowledge management, modelling, transfer, and preservation), extracted from the EURAD Roadmap goals breakdown structure (GBS). This is supplemented by typical activities, according to phases of implementation, needed to achieve the domain goal. Activities are generic and are common to most regional and geological disposal programmes.
Negative regulation of FMO1 expression in Arabidopsis thaliana

description: Plants face constant threats from pathogens and pests in their surroundings. To combat these invaders and survive, plants have evolved a complex immune system. Pathogen infection activates local defense responses that transmit signals throughout the plant, leading to systemic acquired resistance (SAR). N-hydroxypipecolic acid (NHP) plays a critical role as a signal molecule in SAR, and FLAVIN-DEPENDENT MONOOXYGENASE 1 (FMO1) is an essential enzyme in NHP biosynthesis. The expression levels of FMO1 and subsequent NHP levels are tightly regulated. In my Ph.D. study, I aimed to identify and characterize regulators of the FMO1-mediated NHP signaling pathway. To achieve my aims, a genetic screen was conducted in the pFMO1::LUC background with the induction of nlp20. Two types of mutants were identified from the screen, constitutive expression of FMO1 (cef) mutants and induced expression of FMO1 (ief) mutants. Whole genome sequencing analysis and knock-out lines generated by the CRISPR-Cas9 system confirmed the mutated genes in cef1, cef2, and ief1 were ASI1-IMMUNOPRECIPITATED PROTEIN 3 (AIPP3), CARBOXYL-TERMINAL DOMAIN PHOSPHATASE-LIKE 2 (CPL2), and PHD finger-containing protein 2 (PHD2), respectively. These three genes have been reported to function in the same complex that regulates flowering time, and we specifically investigated their defense-related functions. High FMO1 expression was associated with enhanced resistance against Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis (H.a.) Noco2 and Pseudomonas syringae pathovar tomato (P.s.t.) DC3000, as well as increased levels of defense-related hormones such as SA and NHP, expanding the understanding of epigenetic regulation from flowering to defense. Additionally, six more mutants with stronger LUC signals were selected from the genetic screen. Through analysis of whole genome sequencing data and the generation of knock-out lines using the CRISPR-Cas9 system, we confirmed that HUA ENHANCER 2 (HEN2) was the mutated gene in the cef3 mutant. The potential mutated genes of cef4, cef5, cef6, ief2, and ief3 were also collected based on the whole genome sequencing data. In summary, my Ph.D. research expands the understanding of regulators involved in the FMO1-mediated NHP signaling pathway, shedding light on its intricate mechanisms.

description: Literature in mathematics has been found to foster positive improvements in mathematics learning. This manuscript reports on a mathematics teacher educator’s use of literature via literature circles with 11 prospective secondary mathematics teachers in a mathematics content course. Using survey and reflection data, the author found that prospective teachers expressed either benefiting or not benefitting from the literature circle practice in this mathematics class. Finally, conclusions and recommendations for future work are shared.

description: Underwater image understanding is crucial for both submarine navigation and seabed exploration. However, the low illumination in underwater environments degrades the imaging quality, which in turn seriously deteriorates the performance of underwater semantic segmentation, particularly for outlining the object region boundaries. To tackle this issue, we present UnderWater SegFormer (UWSegFormer), a transformer-based framework for semantic segmentation of low-quality underwater images. Firstly, we propose the Underwater Image Quality Attention (UIQA) module. This module enhances the representation of highquality semantic information in underwater image feature channels through a channel self-attention mechanism. In order to address the issue of loss of imaging details due to the underwater environment, the Multi-scale Aggregation Attention(MAA) module is proposed. This module aggregates sets of semantic features at different scales by extracting discriminative information from high-level features,thus compensating for the semantic loss of detail in underwater objects. Finally, during training, we introduce Edge Learning Loss (ELL) in order to enhance the model's learning of underwater object edges and improve the model's prediction accuracy. Experiments conducted on the SUIM and DUT-USEG (DUT) datasets have demonstrated that the proposed method has advantages in terms of segmentation completeness, boundary clarity, and subjective perceptual details when compared to SOTA methods. In addition, the proposed method achieves the highest mIoU of 82.12 and 71.41 on the SUIM and DUT datasets, respectively. Code will be available at https://github.com/SAWRJJ/UWSegFormer.
