description: This study is influenced by phenomenological approaches, and is an inquiry into secondary mathematics teachers’ lived experiences with ephemeral assessment opportunities such as observations of, and conversations with, students. This phenomenon is explored through the use of reflective journals, semi-structured interviews, and focus group interviews. Two layers of analysis were used to better understand the phenomenon. The first layer focuses on emergent themes of what and how teachers think and do in the moment. The emergent themes were interrelated and categorized into eliciting, interpreting, and acting. The second layer focuses on the emergent factors that contribute to what and how teachers think and do during the ephemeral assessment process. The emergent factors were interrelated and categorized into teacher, student, relationships, and contexts. Through the two layers, the complexity of the ephemeral assessment process has been developed.

Nietzsches Staat: reading Ueber die Zukunft unserer Bildungsanstalten as a reading of Plato’s Republic
Creators: name: Taylor, William O.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: Nietzsche’s five lectures titled Ueber die Zukunft unserer Bildungsanstalten given in 1872 show similarities of form and content to Plato’s Republic. They are written as a continuous dialog between an aged philosopher and a group of younger interlocutors. They also argue for the necessity of a caste system, an educational system centered on a rigorous ascent through disciplines until one achieves communion with the metaphysical absolute, and other elements found in the Republic. This comparison of the lectures to the Republic examines the early Nietzsche’s relation to Plato’s theory of education and his metaphysics in order to draw out Nietzsche’s dependence on and variance with Platonism and to understand what value he places on the study of the Greeks. In the course of the comparison Nietzsche’s ambivalent relationships to German classicism, philological historicism, German nationalism, and German philosophy are also discussed.

description: The hadronic production of a Higgs boson (H) in association with b jets will play an important role in investigating the Higgs-boson couplings to Standard Model particles during Run II of the CERN Large Hadron Collider, and could in particular reveal the presence of anomalies in the assumed hierarchy of Yukawa couplings to the third-generation quarks. A very high degree of accuracy in the theoretical description of this process is crucial to implement the rich physics program that could lead to either direct or indirect evidence of new physics from Higgs-boson measurements. Aiming for accuracy in the theoretical modeling of H+b-jet production, we have interfaced the analytic Next-to-Leading-Order QCD calculation of H-bottom-antibottom production with parton-shower Monte Carlo event generators in the POWHEG BOX framework. In this paper we describe the most relevant aspects of the implementation and present results for the production of H+1 b jet, H+2 b jets, and $H$ with no tagged b jets, in the form of kinematic distributions of the Higgs boson, of the b jets, and of the non-b jets, at the 13 TeV Large Hadron Collider. The corresponding code is part of the public release of the POWHEG BOX.

Subjects: subject: Education

description: This research project examined how the knowledge of the past and purpose of a school site can strengthen the creation of a sustainable school vision. It was developed in response to a new administrator coming into a school community and watching a staff maneuver through meeting the standards of a new International Baccalaureate programme while defining how their practice would be personalized to meet them. Using the cycle of action research, this paper explored the question: How does the understanding of the past and purpose of a school site strengthen the development of a sustainable school vision? Data collected for this included parent, staff and administration questionnaires, archives of school meetings, activities and events and the appreciative inquiry process. By reviewing scholarly literature, analyzing the quantitative and qualitative data and reflecting on the written feedback from the participants, this study provided a means for developing a larger perspective on our school community. It facilitated the creation of a school vision that is not only based on the needs of the staff presently and of the new programme, but with the purpose of a primary site and the story of a school community over time. The data was clear from all parties that the school vision must include an active and ongoing commitment to community involvement, to educating the whole child through a balanced and innovative curriculum, to understanding the primary age group and maintaining traditions that incorporate celebration, interdependent relationships and trust. The written vision became the criteria when developing the programmes practice going forward.

Subjects: subject: School principals
subject: Leadership

description: This study uses autoethnography as a research method to reflect on the impact the author’s life and career influences have had on the success of his role as a vice principal in a new school. Leadership theory was also examined to provide a theoretical understanding of the author’s experience. The interplay between expectations, influences, and reality were examined to illustrate the complexity of the authors experience as a school based administrator. Themes of leading with intense moral purpose, strong communication, and trust and relationships with employees emerged as the author strived to be a successful formal school leader in a new school. Through these lenses, autoethnographic research was used as means to deeply reflect on personal leadership development while looking at how external expectations and dynamics interact with leadership qualities to define role effectiveness.

description: The critical contribution analyzes Mi ami?, one of the first songs composed in the early eighties by Giovanni Lindo Ferretti and Massimo Zamboni, the vocalist and guitarist of CCCP – Fedeli alla Linea, and subsequently included in the EP Ortodossia II (1985). Michele Rossi – official biographer of the two artists – retraces the genesis of the text, commenting on it verse by verse, and explaining its construction: a collage made by Ferretti starting from the 1979 Italian translation of Fragments d’un discours amoreux by Roland Barthes, released in France two years earlier. The author also reconstructs the existing link, not only on a literary level, between the CCCP and the writer Pier Vittorio Tondelli, and between the ‘Lombroso Section’ of this post-punk group and the Scottish psychiatrist Ronald David Laing, author of a pamphlet released during those years and entitled Do you love me?.
Phase-field study of electrochemical reactions at exterior and interior interfaces in Li-Ion battery electrode particles

description: To study the electrochemical reaction on surfaces, phase interfaces, and crack surfaces in the lithium ion battery electrode particles, a phase-field model is developed, which describes fracture in large strains and anisotropic Cahn-Hilliard-Reaction. Thereby the concentration-dependency of the elastic properties and the anisotropy of diffusivity are also considered. The implementation in 3D is carried out by isogeometric finite element methods in order to treat the high order terms in a straightforward sense. The electrochemical reaction is modeled through a modified Butler-Volmer equation to account for the influence of the phase change on the reaction on exterior surfaces. The reaction on the crack surfaces is considered through a volume source term weighted by a term related to the fracture order parameter. Based on the model, three characteristic examples are considered to reveal the electrochemical reactions on particle surfaces, phase interfaces, and crack surfaces, as well as their influence on the particle material behavior. Results show that the ratio between the timescale of reaction and the diffusion can have a significant influence on phase segregation behavior, as well as the anisotropy of diffusivity. In turn, the distribution of the lithium concentration greatly influences the reaction on the surface, especially when the phase interfaces appear on exterior surfaces or crack surfaces. The reaction rate increases considerably at phase interfaces, due to the large lithium concentration gradient. Moreover, simulations demonstrate that the segregation of a Li-rich and a Li-poor phase during delithiation can drive the cracks to propagate. Results indicate that the model can capture the electrochemical reaction on the freshly cracked surfaces.

Leading change: a self-study

Subjects: subject: Educational leadership

description: There are many long-held, traditional views of what school leadership looks like: principals as managers of buildings and of people, making hard decisions based on their own view of what is good for a system, then working with a reasonably compliant staff to implement these decisions. Over recent decades, however, the predominant view of the role of the school leader has changed. A tremendous body of research supports school leaders as leaders of adult learning that is intended to enhance student learning. Literature references a myriad of different leadership styles that principals can aspire to. It is difficult, however, to aspire to something without having a sense of one’s current functioning. This study describes how going through a process of self-reflection and considering my practice as it relates to research and literature led to self-discovery with respect to my leadership style and my approach to leading change. The study begins with an initial problem: a secondary school staff is considering making a large, fundamental change to how they teach and how their students learn. As the educational leader of this staff, I was tasked with steering adult learners towards a decision (change or not change) and with setting directions for the conversations that were ongoing. In order to keep a record of what I was thinking after conversations with the whole staff and with individuals, I kept a journal and made regular entries. Through a process of self-study, I coded my journal entries and analyzed coded entries for larger themes. I then examined these themes in the context of current research related to leadership theory and change theory. Through this comparison, I was able to identify attributes that I had as an educational leader as well as develop a sense of direction in terms of the next steps that I will need to take on the journey of change that I am now embarked on with my staff. This study examines leadership style and leadership as it relates to leading change. It also discusses the merits of auto-ethnography and self-study.

description: The null Penrose inequality, i.e. the Penrose inequality in terms of the Bondi energy, is studied by introducing a funtional on surfaces and studying its properties along a null hypersurface $Ω$ extending to past null infinity. We prove a general Penrose-type inequality which involves the limit at infinity of the Hawking energy along a specific class of geodesic foliations called Geodesic Asymptotic Bondi (GAB), which are shown to always exist. Whenever, this foliation approaches large spheres, this inequality becomes the null Penrose inequality and we recover the results of Ludvigsen-Vickers and Bergqvist. By exploiting further properties of the functional along general geodesic foliations, we introduce an approach to the null Penrose inequality called Renormalized Area Method and find a set of two conditions which implies the validity of the null Penrose inequality. One of the conditions involves a limit at infinity and the other a condition on the spacetime curvature along the flow. We investigate their range of applicability in two particular but interesting cases, namely the shear-free and vacuum case, where the null Penrose inequality is known to hold from the results by Sauter, and the case of null shells propagating in the Minkowski spacetime. Finally, a general inequality bounding the area of the quasi-local black hole in terms of an asymptotic quantity intrinsic of $Ω$ is derived.

description: We propose the use of optical lattice clocks operated with fermionic alkaline-earth-atoms to study spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in interacting many-body systems. The SOC emerges naturally during the clock interrogation when atoms are allowed to tunnel and accumulate a phase set by the ratio of the "magic" lattice wavelength to the clock transition wavelength. We demonstrate how standard protocols such as Rabi and Ramsey spectroscopy, that take advantage of the sub-Hertz resolution of state-of-the-art clock lasers, can perform momentum-resolved band tomography and determine SOC-induced $s$-wave collisions in nuclear spin polarized fermions. By adding a second counter-propagating clock beam a sliding superlattice can be implemented and used for controlled atom transport and as a probe of $p$ and $s$-wave interactions. The proposed spectroscopic probes provide clean and well-resolved signatures at current clock operating temperatures.

Physical activity, number of medical conditions, and falls in community-dwelling older adults
Creators: name: Terracina, Kathleen A.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: The study examined relationships between concern for falling, number of medical conditions, physical activity (PA), and one-year fall rate in 60 community-dwelling older adults (24 male, 36 female; 74.8 + 3.5 years old). Falls rate was self-report. The Modified Baecke Questionnaire for Older Adults was used to code the amount of PA the subjects participated in over the same year as the fall history recall. The questionnaire categorized PA into household PA, leisure PA, and sport PA. A total PA score was calculated from the sum of the scores obtained for each of the three PA categories. Simple linear regression revealed an inverse, significant relationship between the total PA score and one-year fall rate (r = -0.273, R2 = 0.074, p = 0.036). No other significant relationships were found. Future research should focus on further exploring relationships between types of physical activity and falls.

However, stem cells of dental origin should not be damaged, as they are important for differentiating, for example, into osteogenic and odontogenic cells.

Large Blue Spectral Isocurvature Spectral Index Signals Time-Dependent Mass

description: We show that if a spectator linear isocurvature dark matter field degree of freedom has a constant mass through its entire evolution history, the maximum measurable isocurvature spectral index that is consistent with the current tensor-to-scalar ratio bound is about 2.4, even if experiments can be sensitive to a $10^{-6}$ contamination of the predominantly adiabatic power spectrum with an isocurvature power spectrum at the shortest observable length scales. Hence, any foreseeable future measurement of a blue isocurvature spectral index larger than about 2.4 may provide nontrivial evidence for dynamical degrees of freedom with time-dependent masses during inflation. The bound is not sensitive to the details of the reheating scenario and can be made mildly smaller if the tensor-to-scalar ratio is better constrained in the future.

A Comparison of Risk Factors Between a Cutting Task and a Stop-Jump as it Relates to the Non Contact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
Creators: name: Browne, Uranie P.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This study compared lower leg biomechanical differences specifically at the knee while performing jump stop and cutting tasks. This was done because of the need to better understand the specific mechanisms that contribute to non contact ACL tears. Much of the focus has been on non contact ACL tears while performing a stop-jump task. This study examined at the mechanisms of a cutting task as it relates to the incidence of non contact ACL tears. We found that the mechanisms of the cutting task are biomechanically different than the stop-jump task, suggesting the need to focus on the cutting task as a separate entity when looking at preventing non contact ACL tears. Overall, this new knowledge should help further research attempting to help reduce the incidence of non contact ACL ruptures.

Our data set for the well-studied Seyfert galaxy NGC 5548 consists of five epochs of quasi-simultaneous optical and near-infrared spectroscopy spanning a period of about five years and three epochs of X-ray spectroscopy overlapping in time with it. Whereas the broad emission lines and hot dust emission varied only moderately, the coronal lines varied strongly. However, the observed high variability is mainly due to a flux decrease. Using the optical [FeVII] and X-ray OVII emission lines we estimate that the coronal line gas has a relatively low density of n~10^3/cm^3 and a relatively high ionisation parameter of log U~1. The resultant distance of the coronal line gas from the ionising source of about eight light years places this region well beyond the hot inner face of the dusty torus. These results imply that the coronal line region is an independent entity. We find again support for the X-ray heated wind scenario of Pier & Voit; the increased ionising radiation that heats the dusty torus also increases the cooling efficiency of the coronal line gas, most likely due to a stronger adiabatic expansion. The much stronger coronal line variability of NGC 5548 relative to that of NGC 4151 can also be explained within this picture. NGC 5548 has much stronger coronal lines relative to the low ionisation lines than NGC 4151 indicating a stronger wind, in which case a stronger adiabatic expansion of the gas and so fading of the line emission is expected.

Distinguishing Features of Autism in Boys with Fragile X Syndrome
Creators: name: Brock, Matt
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Children with fragile X syndrome (FXS) have a much higher prevalence of autism than typical children in the general population. Children with comorbid FXS and autism represent a distinct subgroup of children with FXS that is at risk for markedly poorer outcomes. Evidence shows that early identification and intervention can improve outcomes. To further efforts to create a specialized autism screener for young males with FXS that could assist in early identification, this study explores the association of selected parent-report questionnaire items with autism symptoms in a sample of 60 boys with FXS, ages 4-18 years old. Findings demonstrate that both social and repetitive behaviors distinguish children with comorbid FXS and autism from children with only FXS, with repetitive behaviors playing a much more prominent role than previously documented in the literature. The results of this study provide evidence that a well designed parent-report questionnaire that focuses on specific distinguishing behaviors might serve as an effective tool for early identification of autism in the FXS population.

description: The U(1) BF Quantum Field Theory is revisited in the light of Deligne-Beilinson Cohomology. We show how the U(1) Chern-Simons partition function is related to the BF one and how the latter on its turn coincides with an abelian Turaev-Viro invariant. Significant differences compared to the non-abelian case are highlighted.

description: Recommender systems are a vital tool that helps us to overcome the information overload problem. They are being used by most e-commerce web sites and attract the interest of a broad scientific community. A recommender system uses data on users' past preferences to choose new items that might be appreciated by a given individual user. While many approaches to recommendation exist, the approach based on a network representation of the input data has gained considerable attention in the past. We review here a broad range of network-based recommendation algorithms and for the first time compare their performance on three distinct real datasets. We present recommendation topics that go beyond the mere question of which algorithm to use - such as the possible influence of recommendation on the evolution of systems that use it - and finally discuss open research directions and challenges.

description: Objective: To identify the extent, range, and nature of contemporary research activity on osteoarthritis in Aotearoa New Zealand (AoNZ). Introduction: Osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of pain and disability in adults. The health and economic burden of osteoarthritis in New Zealand is rising rapidly. To facilitate strategic planning for a national response to the growing burden of OA and its consequences, we sought to understand the extent, range, and nature of research activity on osteoarthritis in AoNZ. Inclusion criteria: We will include any research in which the primary concept was osteoarthritis in humans, including research on human participants or using animal models of human ostoearthritis and cartilage mechanics or biology. The context required the research be conducted in AoNZ or with AoNZ-based author(s), published since 1 January 2000. We excluded non-research article types.
When Hands Are Used to Communicate, They Are Less Susceptible to Illusion Than When They Are Used to Estimate

description: When we use our hands to estimate the length of a stick in the Müller-Lyer illusion, we are highly susceptible to the illusion. But when we prepare to act on sticks under the same conditions, we are significantly less susceptible. [AQ: 5]Here, we asked whether people are susceptible to illusion when they use their hands not to act on objects but to describe them in spontaneous co-speech gestures or conventional sign languages of the deaf. Thirty-two English speakers and 13 American Sign Language signers used their hands to act on, estimate the length of, and describe sticks eliciting the Müller-Lyer illusion. For both gesture and sign, the magnitude of illusion in the description task was smaller than the magnitude of illusion in the estimation task and not different from the magnitude of illusion in the action task. The mechanisms responsible for producing gesture in speech and sign thus appear to operate not on percepts involved in estimation but on percepts derived from the way we act on objects.
