Year: 2013

description: Il disegno di ricerca ha come finalità la sperimentazione di due diversi setting di «lasse digitale inclusiva», derivanti dall’unione dell’uso di Lavagne Interattive Multimediali (LIM) di tipo commerciale e di tipo «Wiimote» e di due diverse soluzioni di utilizzo di netbook riconducibili al progetto CMPC, confrontate con una classe di controllo equipaggiata con tecnologie didattiche tradizionali (pc e videoproiettore, più personal computer). Tre quarte classi di tre differenti scuole primarie di lingua italiana della Provincia di Bolzano saranno coinvolte in uno studio di caso avente come focus lo sviluppo di strategie didattiche inclusive in classi con presenza di alunni con Bisogni Educativi Speciali, mediante l’uso di tecnologie interattive e multimediali. La crescita continua del numero di LIM installate in migliaia di scuole italiane, così come la diffusione di netbook interattivi con schermi touch screen appositamente pensati per alunni della scuola primaria, permette infatti la sperimentazione di setting innovativi per la gestione della didattica in classe. In particolar modo permette la riflessione e la sperimentazione di modalità innovative per la realizzazione di dinamiche inclusive, che incentivino l’individualizzazione, la creazione di un clima di classe resiliente, il lavoro di gruppo e l’apprendimento metacognitivo. Inoltre verranno analizzati i punti di forza e le difficoltà che le persone con disabilità possono trovare nell’interazione e nell’accessibilità a questi nuovi dispositivi, valutandone il grado di facilitazione/barriera per l’inclusione didattica.

description: The time-dependent transport through single-molecule magnets coupled to magnetic or non-magnetic electrodes is studied in the framework of the generalized master equation method. We investigate the transient regime induced by the periodic switching of the source and drain contacts. If the electrodes have opposite magnetizations the quantum turnstile operation allows the stepwise writing of intermediate excited states. In turn, the transient currents provide a way to read these states. Within our approach we take into account both the uniaxial and transverse anisotropy. The latter may induce additional quantum tunneling processes which affect the efficiency of the proposed read-and-write scheme. An equally weighted mixture of molecular spin states can be prepared if one of the electrodes is ferromagnetic.

A Conceptual Framework for Understanding the Associations Between Experience of Violence and Women's Breastfeeding Decisions in a South African Context
Creators: name: Golwalkar, Mugdha
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Breastfeeding initiation and exclusivity have been shown to have a myriad of benefits for both mother and infant; however, breastfeeding continuation in South Africa is relatively low. One possible contributor to this phenomenon could be the high incidence of violence against women within this context. A thorough review of the individual and combined literatures on violence against women and breastfeeding was carried out to identify potential pathways connecting women's experiences of violence to their breastfeeding continuation decisions. Additional information about the social and historical context of these topics in South Africa was also gathered. The literature supports a conceptual framework in which major factors mediating the effect of violence on breastfeeding in South Africa include race, HIV status, mental health consequences of violence, and women's support systems. This conceptual model will be useful for informing further research on the impact of violence on breastfeeding decisions in South Africa. It will also be helpful to inform programmatic work since research has shown that context-specific interventions have greater impact.

description: We use a lattice gas cellular automata model in the presence of random dynamic scattering sites and quenched disorder in the two-phase immiscible model with the aim of producing an interface dynamics similar to that observed in Hele-Shaw cells. The dynamics of the interface is studied as one fluid displaces the other in a clean lattice and in a lattice with quenched disorder. For the clean system, if the fluid with a lower viscosity displaces the other, we show that the model exhibits the Saffman-Taylor instability phenomenon, whose features are in very good agreement with those observed in real (viscous) fluids. In the system with quenched disorder, we obtain estimates for the growth and roughening exponents of the interface width in two cases: viscosity-matched fluids and the case of unstable interface. The first case is shown to be in the same universality class of the random deposition model with surface relaxation. Moreover, while the early-time dynamics of the interface behaves similarly, viscous fingers develop in the second case with the subsequent production of bubbles in the context of a complex dynamics. We also identify the Hurst exponent of the subdiffusive fractional Brownian motion associated with the interface, from which we derive its fractal dimension and the universality classes related to a percolation process.

Curating the Networked Image: Circulation, Commodification, Computation
Creators: name: Tedone, Gaia
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2020

description: In the context of today’s networked culture, where artworks and photographs circulate online alongside other commodities and digital objects, online users and data aggregation tools partake in the selection, filtering and dissemination of visual content. The conflict of differentiation emerging from within the shared space of the Internet is at once aesthetic, social and political. At the core of this research is the question of how the curation of networked images can produce cultural value and social meaning in the face of such a conflation of interests and agendas. The study argues for the necessity to reconsider the conventional paradigm of art curating in light of these shifting conditions and in response to the emergent discipline of digital curation, and it repositions the role of the curator and the work of networked images within this accelerated and evolving field. To this end, the research employs a practice-based mode of inquiry grounded in curatorial work, experimenting with three case studies that challenge existing curatorial paradigms through a reconsideration of the traditional object of curating, the context of curating and the agents partaking in its process. The documentation from the case studies is gathered in the memory stick accompanying this dissertation that constitutes an integral part of this research. The practical analysis at the heart of this thesis shows that conditions of online circulation, commodification and computation impact both the operations of networked images and the renewed procedures of curating within an online context where the logics of profit and aesthetics coalesce. While networked images are identified as ‘rich images’ by virtue of their participation in processes of valorisation and commodification, the new role and practice of the curator is found to be embedded within a complex network of human and algorithmic agents and technical protocols, signalling a shift from online curation to processes of ‘network co-curation’. The critical reflexivity that informs the methodological framework of this research is posited as the differentiator for the production of cultural value in a time when search engines and algorithms are agents of meaning and aesthetic patterns. Curating the networked image means stepping out of the ‘art filter bubble’ in order to develop a sophisticated knowledge and critique of the aesthetic, economic and sociotechnical conditions that shape the current state of art and culture on the Web – conditions of circulation, commodification and computation.

description: Context. Oxygen sequence Wolf-Rayet (WO) stars represent a very rare stage in the evolution of massive stars. Their spectra show strong emission lines of helium-burning products, in particular highly ionized carbon and oxygen. The properties of WO stars can be used to provide unique constraints on the (post-)helium burning evolution of massive stars, as well as their remaining lifetime and the expected properties of their supernovae. Aims. We aim to homogeneously analyse the currently known presumed-single WO stars to obtain the key stellar and outflow properties and to constrain their evolutionary state. Methods. We use the line-blanketed non-local thermal equilibrium atmosphere code cmfgen to model the X-Shooter spectra of the WO stars and deduce the atmospheric parameters. We calculate dedicated evolutionary models to determine the evolutionary state of the stars. Results. The WO stars have extremely high temperatures that range from 150 kK to 210 kK, and very low surface helium mass fractions that range from 44% down to 14%. Their properties can be reproduced by evolutionary models with helium zero-age main sequence masses of $M_{\mathrm{He, ini}} = 15-25 M_{\odot}$ that exhibit a fairly strong (on the order of a few times $10^{-5} M_{\odot} \mathrm{yr}^{-1}$), homogeneous ($f_\mathrm{c} > 0.3$) stellar wind. Conclusions. WO stars represent the final evolutionary stage of stars with estimated initial masses of $M_{\mathrm{ini}} = 40-60 M_{\odot}$. They are post core-helium burning and predicted to explode as type Ic supernovae within a few thousand years.

Emergency Contraception in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo: An Examination of Knowledge and Use Trends from PMA2020
Creators: name: Lee, Raney
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Objectives:  This study explores trends of Emergency Contraception (EC) knowledge and use in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).Methods: The study examined three rounds (2015-2016) of Performance, Monitoring, and Accountability 2020 (PMA2020) women’s data from Kinshasa, DRC. The analysis examined sociodemographic characteristics of women who reported having knowledge of EC across time; compared sociodemographic characteristics of women who reported using EC in the preceding twelve months; and examined where women obtained EC.   Results:  Both knowledge and use of EC increased between 2015 and 2016, though use of EC remained low as compared to other modern contraceptive methods.  Married women made up a larger proportion of women with EC knowledge, as compared to never married women, across all three rounds. There was a decrease in EC use by women with a secondary school education and a decrease in EC knowledge by youth, ages 15 to 19. The proportion of unmarried EC users more than doubled between 2015 and 2016, while the proportion of youth, ages 15 to 19, using EC decreased. The proportion of women who obtained EC in pharmacies increased, as did users who received counseling on EC. Conclusion:  While knowledge and use of EC increased throughout the three rounds of data, EC knowledge and use remains low.  It is suggested that future programmatic and structural interventions focus efforts on educating groups of women who demonstrate low knowledge of EC and low EC use

Bayesian quantile regression with approximate likelihood

subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Quantile regression is often used when a comprehensive relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables is desired. The traditional frequentists' approach to quantile regression has been well developed around asymptotic theories and efficient algorithms. However, not much work has been published under the Bayesian framework. One challenging problem for Bayesian quantile regression is that the full likelihood has no parametric forms. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian quantile regression method, the linearly interpolated density (LID) method, which uses a linear interpolation of the quantiles to approximate the likelihood. Unlike most of the existing methods that aim at tackling one quantile at a time, our proposed method estimates the joint posterior distribution of multiple quantiles, leading to higher global efficiency for all quantiles of interest. Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms are developed to carry out the proposed method. We provide convergence results that justify both the algorithmic convergence and statistical approximations to an integrated-likelihood-based posterior. From the simulation results, we verify that LID has a clear advantage over other existing methods in estimating quantities that relate to two or more quantiles.

How much knowledge do students need for the high school final exams in mathematics? A comparison between Hungary and Germany

Subjects: subject: 510

description: In this paper we compare the final exams in mathematics in Hungary and Germany (exemplified by the federal state Berlin). Both the high school curricula and the examination systems in these two countries vary considerably. Therefore we have to consider not only the “level” of mathematical knowledge which is needed to pass the exams but also the wideness of knowledge and skills which students need and the "predictability" of the examination tasks. We take these factors into account by analyzing Hungarian and German examination assignments during the last five years. Due to lack of space, we restrict to the fields of non-linear equations, functions and analysis. The results we get based on these topics are symptomatic also for other fields. Both in Hungary and in Berlin (as in the most federal states of Germany) there are two levels of exams. Here we compare the "lower level" exams (intermediate level in Hungary and basic courses in Berlin).
Serendipitous learning: Recognizing and fostering the potential of microblogging

Publisher: name: Form@re - Open Journal per la formazione in rete
Year: 2013

description: This paper introduces the concept of serendipitous learning in the context of microblogging and discusses the potential of unplanned and unexpected discoveries for learning. Serendipitous learning as a subset of incidental learning refers to learning through gaining new insights, discovering unrevealed aspects and recognizing seemingly unrelated connections. This type of learning can occur by chance and as a by-product of other activities like information browsing through social status updates in microblogs. It is argued that engaging in microblogging in an open social network of users frequently generating new information enhances the possibilities of serendipitous discovery. The paper discusses possible factors facilitating serendipitous learning and concludes with recommendations for future research.

Fit Beginnings Program Evaluation: Dynamics of Food, Incarceration & Pregnancy
Creators: name: Hackett, Kali
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Executive SummaryBackground: In implementing the MOMobile Riverside program over the years, a concern over maternal obesity and extreme weight gain for women during incarceration led to the creation of Fit Beginnings for Mom program within Riverside Correctional Facility (RCF). The goal of Fit Beginnings for Mom is to empower incarcerated pregnant and parenting women to improve their cardiovascular health by creating a healthy lifestyle environment for themselves and their children. Objective: This formative evaluation was designed to provide more insight into the nutritional, physical activity, and stress management experiences of incarcerated pregnant and parenting women, in order to better tailor and/or adjust the Fit Beginning’s programming, procedures, and advocacy efforts to meet the needs of MOMobile Riverside clients.Design:Inductive qualitative evaluation. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews.Participants: Interviews were collected from ten MOMobile Riverside clients who currently receive and had received MCC services while incarcerated at RCFResults: Analysis of the interviews identifies that the physical and mental health of MOMobile Riverside clients is impacted by an intricate web of interrelated conditions that include: eating habits, nutritional value of available food, availability of physical activity mechanisms, drug use recovery, and deteriorated mental health, among others. Conclusion: The findings presented in this evaluation highlight the need for more nutritious food options within RCF, better physical activity programing and tools, and mental health interventions targeted towards mothers confined in jails. As Maternity Care Coalition has limited control over the conditions in which MOMobile Riverside clients must endure, advocacy and leveraging established partnerships with Philadelphia Department of Prisons will be key to achieving improvements.

description: In this article, Terry Freedman looks at how microblogging services such as Twitter, Edmodo and Cirip are being used in education, both in the classroom and for professional development. Although microblogging does not, at first glance, look particularly useful for teaching and learning, the opposite turns out to be the case.

description: E-commerce demand has increased steadily over the last decades and this trend has accelerated even more since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. This entailed that user groups such as older people who previously only shopped in-store were incited to shop online to reduce risk of infection leading some to switch to online shopping as the main shopping channel. This study analyses the long-term effects of increased online shopping and subsequent delivery demand due to the Covid-19 pandemic using an agent-based travel demand model. We analyse the simulation of two scenarios for the model area Karlsruhe, Germany: one scenario simulates the parcel delivery demand before the pandemic and the other scenario simulates the demand during the pandemic of the synthetic population. Our results show that there have been shifts in both socio-demographic characteristics of online shoppers and spatial distribution of parcel delivery demand induced by the Covid-19 pandemic. The scenario simulation based on the pandemic related data shows that not only the influence of income has shifted but also the effects of age on e-commerce activity has changed due to the pandemic. The findings are of interest to transport planners and delivery service providers as they highlight the importance of recognising that the Covid-19 pandemic not only induced a shift in socio-demographic profiles of online shoppers but that this shift also entails a change in the spatial distribution of parcel deliveries.

description: Objectives Determine whether exposure to abortion restrictions is associated with reproductive decision-making by moderating the effect of predictors of contraceptive efficacy/unintended pregnancy among young women (age 18-26). Methods Logistic regression using predictors of unintended birth/contraceptive efficacy (race/ethnicity, education, insurance type, and relationship status) with data (unintended birth: N=5,680; contraceptive efficacy: N=4,910) from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Results Abortion restrictions significantly moderate the relationships between race/insurance type and unintended birth/contraceptive effectiveness. Hispanic women, African-American women, and women receiving Medicaid exposed to more restrictive abortion laws have increased odds of an unintended birth over the following three years. Uninsured and African-American women exposed to abortion restrictions have reduced and increased odds, respectively, of using effective contraceptives in the following year. Conclusions Exposure to abortion restrictions has a moderating effect in minority and low-income women. Abortion restrictions should be paired with policies promoting reproductive planning/choice.

description: To remain competitive and economically viable, airports need to optimise their processes without compromising the security, safety and comfort of the passengers. Understanding passenger needs to improve service quality and monitoring airport performance are two aspects of airport management. There is a need to compare the passenger perception of the provided service with actual measurements of the service performance. The potential benefits of a multidimensional approach to performance assessment with service quality is still under researched. This study aims to examine the relationship between airport performance and service quality and understand its role in airport management through a multi-study design.In the first part, a service quality based operational efficiency metric for airports was computed using a multistage data envelopment analysis (DEA) using input and output parameters such as operational cost, number of terminals, number of employees total revenue, passenger numbers, and service quality data for 107 airports across the world for the year 2019. Further the significant factors determining an airport’s service quality-based efficiency was analysed. The DEA results indicate that inclusion of service quality gave a statistically significant difference in airport efficiency in the given sample. The results also indicated that the factors hub status, average number of flights delayed per day, percent of delayed flights and geographic location were statistically significant in determining an airport’s service quality-based efficiency.In second part of the study, with the use of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, we established a complexity-based framework that can be used to score an airport’s social and technical complexities. The relationship between an airports social and technical complexities and its participation of airports in some benchmarking programmes, frequency and evaluation of service quality parameters and the importance of service quality was also analysed. According to airport managers, data, communication, and cooperation between airport stakeholders, adequate infrastructure and technical innovations are crucial for airports being technically efficient. Organisational culture, communication of policies and knowledge within employees, cooperation with government and employee union entities were raised as potential sources of social complexities by airport managers
Strong maximum principle for fractional diffusion equations and an application to an inverse source problem

description: The strong maximum principle is a remarkable characterization of parabolic equations, which is expected to be partly inherited by fractional diffusion equations. Based on the corresponding weak maximum principle, in this paper we establish a strong maximum principle for time-fractional diffusion equations with Caputo derivatives, which is slightly weaker than that for the parabolic case. As a direct application, we give a uniqueness result for a related inverse source problem on the determination of the temporal component of the inhomogeneous term.
Apprendimento fortuito: riconoscere e promuovere le potenzialità del microblogging

description: Il presente contributo introduce il concetto di apprendimento fortuito nel contesto di microblogging e discute le potenzialità di scoperte impreviste e inattese per l'apprendimento. L’apprendimento fortuito, come sottoinsieme dell’apprendimento incidentale, fa riferimento a un apprendimento che avviene tramite l’acquisizione di nuove intuizioni, con la scoperta di aspetti sconosciuti e il riconoscimento di connessioni apparentemente non correlate.Questo tipo di apprendimento può avvenire per caso e in quanto sottoprodotto di altre attività come lo scorrimento tra le informazioni ottenute tramite il flusso di aggiornamenti del proprio stato sociale sul microblog. Si sostiene che il coinvolgimento nel microblogging, in una rete sociale aperta di utenti che generano frequentemente nuove informazioni, aumenta le possibilità di scoperta fortuita. Il contributo esamina i possibili elementi che facilitano l'apprendimento fortuito e termina con alcune raccomandazioni per la ricerca futura.

The effects of inter- and intra-cultural variations on managerial discretion and the implications for national competitiveness
Creators: name: Haj Youssef, Moustafa
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: This thesis examines cross-cultural differences in managerial discretion and the extent to which variations in inter- and intra-cultural practices affect the degree of freedom in decision-making that is afforded to executives. Research into the degree of discretion, or ‘latitude’ of executive action, has primarily focused on individual-, firm-, and industry-level factors which, either enable or otherwise constrain the freedom of executive action. However, research into its national-level antecedents and consequences remains limited. This thesis further develops and extends the extant literature into the topic of managerial discretion by seeking to adopt a broader interpretation of national culture in relation to its effect on executive discretion across 18 countries from 6 different regional clusters. The research entails a quantitative assessment to examine the relationship between cultural practices, managerial discretion and national competitiveness. The investigation into the national-level antecedents, consequences and the role of managerial discretion is studied using a mixture of primary and secondary data. Primary data consists of measurements of the degree of managerial discretion that is derived from survey responses of a panel of senior management consultants, who provided 792 discretion scores for the sampled countries. Secondary data consists of cultural practices derived from GLOBE cross-cultural project and national competitiveness scores operationalized using the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI). The thesis presents three empirical analyses of socio-cultural dynamics. The research first addresses how cross-national variations in cultural practices impact managerial discretion. The findings reveal that institutional collectivism, uncertainty avoidance, power distance, future-, humane-, and performance orientations, together with gender egalitarianism, assertiveness and cultural looseness, all influence the degree of discretion. In the second dimension, the notion that intra-cultural variation plays a crucial role in shaping managerial discretion is critically discussed. An empirical analysis supports such a proposition and demonstrates a strong and positive association between these two constructs. For the third aspect, the relationship between managerial discretion and national performance is measured and evaluated by determining the impact upon national competitiveness. The data demonstrate that the degree of discretion directly influences national competitiveness and effectively mediates the relationship between cultural practices and national competitiveness. Overall, this PhD contributes to the field of strategic management, by discovering for the first time new national-level antecedents and consequences of managerial discretion, offering new theoretical insights and practical implications.

description: We observe chimeralike states in an ensemble of oscillators using a type of global coupling consisting of two components: attractive and repulsive mean-field feedback. We identify existence of two types of chimeralike states in a bistable Liénard system; in one type, both the coherent and the incoherent populations are in chaotic states (called as chaos-chaos chimeralike states) and, in another type, the incoherent population is in periodic state while the coherent population has irregular small oscillation. Interestingly, we also recorded a metastable state in a parameter regime of the Liénard system where the coherent and noncoherent states migrates from one to another population. To test the generality of the coupling configuration, we present another example of bistable system, the van der Pol-Duffing system where the chimeralike states are observed, however, the coherent population is periodic or quasiperiodic and the incoherent population is of chaotic in nature. Furthermore, we apply the coupling to a network of chaotic Rössler system where we find the chaos-chaos chimeralike states.
Understanding Women's Interpretation of Infant Formula Advertising
Creators: name: Parry, Kathleen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Objective: This study aims to understand how women interpret infant formula advertising to aid understanding of the inverse association between exposure to infant formula advertising and breastfeeding rates. Methods: Four focus groups were divided according to reproductive status: pre-conceptional, pregnant, exclusive breastfeeders and formula-feeders. Facilitators guided a discussion of participant reactions to infant formula marketing materials. Results: Participants reported that the advertisements conveyed an expectation of failure with breastfeeding and that formula is a solution to fussiness, spit-up and other normal infant behaviors. Participants reported confusion in terms of how human milk compares to formula. These concerns were exacerbated by awareness of marketing by the healthcare industry. Conclusion: Formula marketing decreases mothers’ confidence in breastfeeding, especially when provided by healthcare providers and institutions.

description: L'articolo prende le mosse dalla distinzione proposta da Lawrence Lessig fra Internet e ciberspazio, dove quest'ultimo viene descritto come luogo di partecipazione e produzione di significato, ben oltre le tipiche funzionalità di Internet, riconducibili alla ricerca di risorse e alla fruizione di servizi di vario genere. Si riportano esempi che illustrano il valore aggiunto che può emergere dall'aggregazione nel ciberspazio, in contesti attinenti alla formazione scolastica o universitaria: due riguardano la formazione di un network spontaneo, di insegnanti in un caso e di studenti in un altro, e due l'applicazione di strumenti di blogging e microblogging nelle attività di classi universitarie. Infine, si discute il ruolo che le tecnologie web possono avere nella sperimentazione di nuove pratiche didattiche, in relazione all'impatto che possono avere sull'apprendimento.
