Assessment and training of physical literacy in early childhood educators
Creators: name: Buckler, Elizabeth Jean

description: Educators working in early childhood education and care receive little to no training in physical activity or physical literacy. However, they are expected to adhere to government standards for physical activity and skill development during the childcare day. This dissertation sought to determine what characterizes a successful intervention aiming to train educators in physical activity and/or physical literacy, what barriers and facilitators educators identify in meeting daily activity standards, what the physical literacy of educators is, and if educator physical literacy is associated with their behaviours and intentions to provide physical activity or physical literacy activities regularly. A systematic review was undertaken to parse apart the distinct characteristics of effective training interventions in physical activity or physical literacy. Training programs that provided ongoing support, relied on a theoretical framework, and objectively measured study fidelity were more successful. Educators were interviewed (n=24) to assess facilitators and barriers they face when implementing policy mandated activity standards. Results demonstrated that the personal values of educators facilitated adherence, and if physical space was poor, or resources were low, adherence was inhibited. Finally, a cross-sectional study measured the physical literacy of educators (n=94), and utilized regression analysis to determine relationships between measured physical literacy and self-reported behaviours and intentions to provide physical activity and/or physical literacy opportunities daily. Physical activity behaviour and understanding were high, but the remaining components of physical literacy were moderate. A relationship was found between educator self-reported intentions and behaviours for providing physical activity opportunities and the physical literacy component of understanding, but no relationship was found for the other components of physical literacy. The results of these three studies demonstrate that educators are trainable in physical activity and physical literacy, but high-quality training programs that provide continued support and/or training for educators are needed. Training programs may not need to focus on the personal physical literacy of educators. Mandating training for educators to provide quality physical literacy opportunities to children should be a high public health priority.

description: A joint characterisation of the controllability and observability of a particular kind of discrete system has been developed. The key idea of the procedure can be reduced to a correct choice of the sampling sequence. This freedom, owing to the arbitrary choice of the sampling instants, is used to improve the sensitivity of system controllability and observability, by exploiting an adequate geometric structure. Some qualitative examples are presented for illustrative purposes.

description: Flux tunability is an important engineering resource for superconducting circuits. Large-scale quantum computers based on flux-tunable superconducting circuits face the problem of flux crosstalk, which needs to be accurately calibrated to realize high-fidelity quantum operations. Typical calibration methods either assume that circuit elements can be effectively decoupled and simple models can be applied, or require a large amount of data. Such methods become ineffective as the system size increases and circuit interactions become stronger. Here we propose a new method for calibrating flux crosstalk, which is independent of the underlying circuit model. Using the fundamental property that superconducting circuits respond periodically to external fluxes, crosstalk calibration of N flux channels can be treated as N independent optimization problems, with the objective functions being the periodicity of a measured signal depending on the compensation parameters. We demonstrate this method on a small-scale quantum annealing circuit based on superconducting flux qubits, achieving comparable accuracy with previous methods. We also show that the objective function usually has a nearly convex landscape, allowing efficient optimization.
FARMERS'  PERCEPTION TOW  ARDS ORGANIC  AND INORGANIC  FARMING:  CASE  OF  CHEBERA  SHASHO KEBELE, KONTA  SPECIAL WOREDA,  SOUTH WEST  ETHIOPIA.

description: Agriculture  is  the  major  economic  backbone  of  most  countries  in  the  world,  particularly  in
Africa  Ethiopia is  a country  whose  economic policy  is  led by  agriculture.  Yet  it  is  famine  prone
due  to  its  poor  farming  approaches  and  back  ward  cultivation  practices.  More  than  half of the
rural population  in  Ethiopia could  not  produce  enough  food  to  support  themselves.  The  attempt
of  this  study  was  to  assess farmers'  perception towards  organic  and  inorganic farming  in Chebera
Shasho  kebele,  Konta  special  woreda  to  fill  knowledge  and  information  gaps  seen  among  local
farmers.  Samples  of I  03  farmers  were selected  from 830 farmers  by  systematic random sampling
method.  Quantitative  and  cross  sectional  approach  of research  design  was  applied.  Observation,
focus  group  discussion  and  structured  questionnaires,  were  tools  for  data  collection.  The
collected  data  were  analyzed  for  Pearson  correlation,  one  way  anova  and  chi-square  test  using
Statistical  Package  for  Social  Science  Program  (SPSS)  version  16.0.  The  study  revealed  that
farming  is  dominated  by  male  farmers  operating  at  small-scale  level.  Despite  low  level  of
knowledge  and  poor  attitude  towards  inorganic  fertilizer  technology,  the  overall  adoption  and
use  of  fertilizers  by  the  farmers  was  high.  But  fertilizer  usage  was  seriously  constrained  bythe
lack  of  capital,  high  cost  of  fertilizers  and  inadequate  information.  Therefore,  transforming
factors  such  as  adult  and  women  participation  in  agricultural  production,  extension  contact,
training  and  practical  demonstration  of technologies,  as  well  as  access  to  micro-credit  facilities
are  critically  required  to  serve  as opportunity to  change  farmers'  attitude towards  fertilizer  use  in

description: Recent results and data suggests that high magnetic field in neutron stars (NS) strongly affects the characteristic (radius, mass) of the star. They are even separated as a class known as magnetars, for whom the surface magnetic field are greater than $10^{14}$ G. In this work we discuss the effect of such high magnetic field on the phase transition of NS to quark star (QS). We study the effect of magnetic field on the transition from NS to QS including the magnetic field effect in equation of state (EoS). The inclusion of the magnetic field increases the range of baryon number density, for which the flow velocities of the matter in the respective phase are finite. The magnetic field helps in initiation of the conversion process. The velocity of the conversion front however decreases due to the presence of magnetic field, as the presence of magnetic field reduces the effective pressure (P). The magnetic field of the star gets decreased by the conversion process, and the resultant QS has lower magnetic field than that of the initial NS.

description: We study the properties of the broad line region in blazars by comparing the virial estimate of black hole masses with that derived from the mass of the host galaxies. The former is sensitive to the width of broad lines, i.e., to the projection of the velocity of line-emitting clouds along the line of sight; the latter is not. This comparison allows us to constrain the deprojection factor f, thus revealing general properties of the geometry of the broad line region. We show that blazars tend to have 1) higher f values than the quasars of our reference sample: =6.9 +/- 2.3, =5.6 +/- 1.3 and =2.0 +/- 0.3; 2) relatively narrow broad emission lines; 3) modest equivalent widths, as expected because of the occurrence of jet emission at very low inclination angles. In a disc-like sketch of the broad line region, these results indicate a pole-on view of a flat geometry in blazars. This consistently extends the orientation--dependent unified model of active nuclei to the geometry of the broad line region.

description: Three-dimensional smooth, compact toric varieties (SCTV), when viewed as real six-dimensional manifolds, can admit G-structures rendering them suitable for internal manifolds in supersymmetric flux compactifications. We develop techniques which allow us to systematically construct G-structures on SCTV and read off their torsion classes. We illustrate our methods with explicit examples, one of which consists of an infinite class of toric CP^1 bundles. We give a self-contained review of the relevant concepts from toric geometry, in particular the subject of the classification of SCTV in dimensions less or equal to 3. Our results open up the possibility for a systematic construction and study of supersymmetric flux vacua based on SCTV.

description: iodiversity  encompasses  variety  and  variability  of  all  forms  of  life  on  earth.
Conservation  of  biodiversity  is  vital  for  the  livelihood  of  nearby  community.  This paper
examines  the  attitudes  of  local  communities  toward  biodiversity  conservation  in  'Uwen
forest.  Two  hundred farmers  were  selected for  the  study .  Ten  respondents  from  each
village  were purposely selected  for  focus group  discussion  and ten  respondents.from  each
village  also  randomly  selected  for  interview.  The  results  showed  that  more  than  half  of
the  respondents  have  not good  perception  towards  biodiversity conservation  and they  are
less  willingful  to  conserve  biodiversity.  Biodiversity  in  the  study  area  is  affected  mainly
by  human  activities.  Agricultural  expansion,  collection  of  fire  wood,  timber  production,
charcoal  production and  poaching are  the  major  threats.  There was Statistical significant
relation  between  the  attitude  and  age,  education  level  and  income  of  the  respondents,
indicating  that  these  variables  influence  the  attitude  of  the  participants.  This  study
suggests  that  increasing  farmers'  awareness  and  knowledge  about  conservation  of
biodiversity  has  to  be  a  priority  for further  community  participation.  The  legal  protection
of  biodiversity should be also  strengthening.

description: Ethiopia is one of the countries in Africa that is experiencing rapid population growth and
accelerated natural resource degradation. In view of this situation the main objective of this
study  is  to  investigate  the  impact  of  rapid  population  growth  on  natural  resource  of
Mokonisa Kebele, Gedeo Zone, Ethiopia.  Both primary  and secondary data were  used in the
study  and  a  total  of  612  househeads  were  sampled.  In  addition,  basic  point’s  focus  group
discussions  were  included.  The  methods  of  data  analysis  were  Chi-Square  test  of
independence,  Binary  and  Multiple  Logistic  regressions.  The  Chi-Square  test  of
independence  used  to  analyze  the  relationship  between  population  growth  and  natural
resource degradation. And  Binary and Multiple Logistic regressions are utilized to explore
the  basic  causes  of  rapid  population  growth.  The  finding  of  the  study  shows  that,  Rapid
population growth and natural resource degradation had  positive  correlation  at  p value of
0.127.  Furthermore  among from seven demographic and socioeconomic factors; occupation,
education  and  duration  of  residency  showed  positive  correlation  with  the  causes  of  rapid
population growth  at  p value of <0.05.  With regard to  the respondent’s response 99.0%  of
sample population revealed that  the climatic  condition of the area is changing through time
and  98.5%  perceived that  the government should implement reproductive health programs.
Finally  on  the  basis  of  the  findings;  it  is  recommended  that,  strengthen  the  availability  of
finical aid for Mokonisa househeads to engage them in their own sustainable small business
industry,  raise  public  awareness  and  promote  understanding  on  the  essential  linkages
between population growth and natural resource degradation and  increase family planning

description: Streams are infinite sequences over a given data type. A stream specification is a set of equations intended to define a stream. We propose a transformation from such a stream specification to a term rewriting system (TRS) in such a way that termination of the resulting TRS implies that the stream specification is well-defined, that is, admits a unique solution. As a consequence, proving well-definedness of several interesting stream specifications can be done fully automatically using present powerful tools for proving TRS termination. In order to increase the power of this approach, we investigate transformations that preserve semantics and well-definedness. We give examples for which the above mentioned technique applies for the ransformed specification while it fails for the original one.

description: Water pollution from different sources are  serious problem in most of the developing
countries of the world like Africa. Most of Ethiopian industries and Flower farms release
their untreated or partially treated wastewaters into nearby surface waters. The aim of
this study to investigated influent sources water quality and fishing practices of the Koka
Reservoir. Water and sediments samples were collected from eight purposively selected
sampling stations and characterize. Fish sample also collected from three stations. Some
selected nutrients and physiochemical parameters investigate from water samples while
nine metals from water, sediments and fish organs (gills, liver and muscle) were analyzed
using standard protocols. Fishing practices examined using questioner dispatch (face to
face interview). Data was analyzed using SPSS two-way ANOVA (p ≤ 0.05). The mean
values for the Physiochemical parameters ranged from, 1.16-12.12 (PO4
-3
), 2.19-24 (TP),
16.24-458.3 (NH3) and 35.16-763.23 mg/L (TN), 711-19403    /cm (EC),  171-11, 833
mg/L  (TDS), 12-915 mg/L (BOD5) and 0.17-7.74 mg/L (DO)  in influents water. Heavy
metal concentration in influents water (mg/L) were, 0.12-6.81 (Fe), bdl-4.45 (Pb), bdl-
0.63 (Mn), 0.12-176.23 (Cr), 0.02-0.26 (Cd), whereas in sediments ranged from, 3,705.7-
6,308.1  (Fe),  4.74-15.9  (Pb),  131.52-514.8  (Mn), 2.29-550.2 (Cr),0.34-4.4 (Cd). The
results revealed significant difference in mean values of nutrient and physiochemical
parameters among the eight sites and seasons (p<0.05)  and also some significant
correlations among the tested parameters. In Koka Reservoir  fishing activates is always
and there is high demand, decrement of production and water quality. Mainly four type of
fish types and fishing gear. Nile tilapia is the most abundant, required, while Barbus most
decline fish species.  In conclusion the highest concentration of metal in sediments and
lowest in water and in relation to fish organ highest concentration in liver. While the
lowest in muscle, which is within the WHO acceptable range hence no health effect for
human consumption. Relatively Ethiopian tannery and Flower farm effluents contribute
high pollution and their effluent concentration exceed the WHO and EEPA limit  for
drinking water and aquatic life hence it need high attention with respective bodies.

description: The theory of radiation-driven winds succeeded in describing terminal velocities and mass loss rates of massive stars. However, for A-type supergiants the standard m-CAK solution predicts values of mass loss and terminal velocity higher than the observed values. Based on the existence of a slow wind solution in fast rotating massive stars, we explore numerically the parameter space of radiation-driven flows to search for new wind solutions in slowly rotating stars, that could explain the origin of these discrepancies. We solve the 1-D hydrodynamical equation of rotating radiation-driven winds at different stellar latitudes and explore the influence of ionization's changes throughout the wind in the velocity profile. We have found that for particular sets of stellar and line-force parameters, a new slow solution exists over the entire star when the rotational speed is slow or even zero. In the case of slow rotating A-type supergiant stars the presence of this novel slow solution at all latitudes leads to mass losses and wind terminal velocities which are in agreement with the observed values. The theoretical Wind Momentum-Luminosity Relationship derived with these slow solutions shows very good agreement with the empirical relationship. In addition, the ratio between the terminal and escape velocities, which provides a simple way to predict stellar wind energy and momentum input into the interstellar medium, is also properly traced.

description: Wetlands are one of the most productive and essential areas with diverse environmental and
economic benefits. They are also found as threatened habitats in different parts of the world.
The  present  study  was  aimed  to  assess  the  regulatory,  filtration  and  screening  role  of
wetlands and valorize for better conservation. A total of six sampling sites were selected from
Lake Abaya periphery immediately before joining the Wallo wetland and at the outlet of the
wetland before  joining  river  Kulfo.  The  water  samples  were  taken  at  different  strata  and
mixed  to  make  them  representative.  Sampling  was  made  from January to August, 2016;
where  overflow was observed  significantly.  The samples  were  analyzed for  14 (fourteen)
selected physicochemical parameters. Standard methods for sampling, storage and analysis
were done according to APHA. The study has revealed the existence of significant changes in
terms  of  parameters  like  Dissolved  Oxygen,  Ionic  Concentration, Heavy  Metal removal,
nutrient  load and  other  physical  parameters. The  amount  of  dissolved  oxygen  has shown
improvement by  13.6% from 5.88 to 7.99ppm after passing through the wetland.  Removal
efficiency of  the wetland  between  inflow  and  outflow  were  higher for ionic  concentrations
like Electrical Conductivity, Salinity and TDS with 63.1, 40.7 and 54.4 removal percentage
respectively. The  heavy  metals  Mn,  Cr,  Cu,  and  Fe analysis  showed  a  decrease  in
concentration from their inlet by average values of 43.1, 37.2 and 22.1and 12.5 percentages
respectively.  The  water  samples  analyzed  for  nutrients  (T-N  and  T-P)  has  also  shown  a
decreasing tendency by 40.2 and 33.6% respectively when Lake Abaya water passes through
the wetland and discharged to river Kulfo. The average water surface temperature recorded
onsite has decreased from 29.2
o
C at Lake Abaya to 25.95
o
C at the outlet of the wetland. The
physical  parameters  like  TSS  and  Turbidity  were  found  to  be  high  at  Lake  Abaya  and
significantly decreased at the wetland outlet with 52.9 and 83.3% removals respectively and
a slight  decrease  in pH. From  the  result  it  can be  concluded that  the wetland has  shown
remarkable efficiency in terms of screening the incoming suspended and dissolved materials;
filtering  nutrients  and  heavy  metals;  and regulating  the  temperature  and pH  of the water
after passing through it. It can be said that overflowed Lake Abaya water which has different
water  chemistry  from  Lake  Chamo  has  been  regulated  by  the  wetland  beneath  it  before
joining river Kulfo. It is recommended that the role of such wetlands which have paramount
importance for their hydrological and ecological functions should not be overlooked. Hence,
conservation efforts to such wetland ecosystems need to be strengthened.
On the coincidence of optimal completions for small pairwise comparison matrices with missing entries

description: Incomplete pairwise comparison matrices contain some missing judgements. A natural approach to estimate these values is provided by minimising a reasonable measure of inconsistency after unknown entries are replaced by variables. Two widely used inconsistency indices for this purpose are Saaty's inconsistency index and the geometric inconsistency index, which are closely related to the eigenvector and the logarithmic least squares priority deriving methods, respectively. The two measures are proven to imply the same optimal filling for incomplete pairwise comparison matrices up to order four but not necessarily for order at least five.

description: In this paper we derive aggregate separation bounds, named after Davenport-Mahler-Mignotte (\dmm), on the isolated roots of polynomial systems, specifically on the minimum distance between any two such roots. The bounds exploit the structure of the system and the height of the sparse (or toric) resultant by means of mixed volume, as well as recent advances on aggregate root bounds for univariate polynomials, and are applicable to arbitrary positive dimensional systems. We improve upon Canny's gap theorem \cite{c-crmp-87} by a factor of $\OO(d^{n-1})$, where $d$ bounds the degree of the polynomials, and $n$ is the number of variables. One application is to the bitsize of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of an integer matrix, which also yields a new proof that the problem is polynomial. We also compare against recent lower bounds on the absolute value of the root coordinates by Brownawell and Yap \cite{by-issac-2009}, obtained under the hypothesis there is a 0-dimensional projection. Our bounds are in general comparable, but exploit sparseness; they are also tighter when bounding the value of a positive polynomial over the simplex. For this problem, we also improve upon the bounds in \cite{bsr-arxix-2009,jp-arxiv-2009}. Our analysis provides a precise asymptotic upper bound on the number of steps that subdivision-based algorithms perform in order to isolate all real roots of a polynomial system. This leads to the first complexity bound of Milne's algorithm \cite{Miln92} in 2D.

Catastrophic regime shifts in model ecological communities are true phase transitions

description: Ecosystems often undergo abrupt regime shifts in response to gradual external changes. These shifts are theoretically understood as a regime switch between alternative stable states of the ecosystem dynamical response to smooth changes in external conditions. Usual models introduce nonlinearities in the macroscopic dynamics of the ecosystem that lead to different stable attractors among which the shift takes place. Here we propose an alternative explanation of catastrophic regime shifts based on a recent model that pictures ecological communities as systems in continuous fluctuation, according to certain transition probabilities, between different micro-states in the phase space of viable communities. We introduce a spontaneous extinction rate that accounts for gradual changes in external conditions, and upon variations on this control parameter the system undergoes a regime shift with similar features to those previously reported. Under our microscopic viewpoint we recover the main results obtained in previous theoretical and empirical work (anomalous variance, hysteresis cycles, trophic cascades). The model predicts a gradual loss of species in trophic levels from bottom to top near the transition. But more importantly, the spectral analysis of the transition probability matrix allows us to rigorously establish that we are observing the fingerprints, in a finite size system, of a true phase transition driven by background extinctions.

description: We study the infrared scale expansion of single field cosmological models using the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism, showing that its specialization at unit scale parameter recovers the slow roll expansion. In particular, we show that the latter coincides with a Laurent expansion of the Hamilton-Jacobi function in powers of the Planck mass, whose terms are controlled by certain recursively-defined polynomials. This allows us to give an explicit recursion procedure for constructing all higher order terms of the slow roll expansion. We also discuss the corresponding effective potential and the action of the universal similarity group.

description: We discuss non-equilibrium extensions of the Casimir force (due to electromagnetic fluctuations), where the objects as well as the environment are held at different temperatures. While the formalism we develop is quite general, we focus on a sphere in front of a plate, as well as two spheres, when the radius is small compared to separation and thermal wavelengths. In this limit the forces can be expressed analytically in terms of the lowest order multipoles, and corroborated with results obtained by diluting parallel plates of vanishing thickness. Non-equilibrium forces are generally stronger than their equilibrium counterpart, and may oscillate with separation (at a scale set by material resonances). For both geometries we obtain stable points of zero net force, while two spheres may have equal forces in magnitude and direction resulting in a self-propelling state.

Bulk, surface and corner free energy series for the chromatic polynomial on the square and triangular lattices

description: We present an efficient algorithm for computing the partition function of the q-colouring problem (chromatic polynomial) on regular two-dimensional lattice strips. Our construction involves writing the transfer matrix as a product of sparse matrices, each of dimension ~ 3^m, where m is the number of lattice spacings across the strip. As a specific application, we obtain the large-q series of the bulk, surface and corner free energies of the chromatic polynomial. This extends the existing series for the square lattice by 32 terms, to order q^{-79}. On the triangular lattice, we verify Baxter's analytical expression for the bulk free energy (to order q^{-40}), and we are able to conjecture exact product formulae for the surface and corner free energies.

Nonlinear Schwarz preconditioning for Quasi-Newton methods

description: We propose the nonlinear restricted additive Schwarz (RAS) preconditioning strategy to improve the convergence speed of limited memory quasi-Newton (QN) methods. We consider both "left-preconditioning" and "right-preconditioning" strategies. As the application of the nonlinear preconditioning changes the standard gradients and Hessians to their preconditioned counterparts, the standard secant pairs cannot be used to approximate the preconditioned Hessians. We discuss how to construct the secant pairs in the preconditioned QN framework. Finally, we demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the preconditioned QN methods using numerical experiments.

description: In the building of a finite group of Lie type we consider the incidence relations defined by oppositeness of flags. Such a relation gives rise to a homomorphism of permutation modules (in the defining characteristic) whose image is a simple module for the group. The $p$-rank of the incidence relation is then the dimension of this simple module. We give some general reductions towards the determination of the character of the simple module. Its highest weight is identified and the problem is reduced to the case of a prime field. The reduced problem can be approached through the representation theory of algebraic groups and the methods are illustrated for some examples.
