MATERNAL REFERRAL COMPLIANCE FOR DELIVERY  SERVICE AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS IN DIRASHE  WOREDA, SOUTHERN ETHIOPIA
Creators: name: Demissew Mitiku
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Background;  -  Referral  system  is  particularly  important  in  pregnancy  care  and  childbirth  for
providing access to emergency obstetric care and for backing up antenatal and delivery care in
first line facilities. So it is widely accepted that substantial reduction in maternal mortality and
sever  morbidity  are  impossible  to  achieve  without  an  effective  referral  system.  However,
maternity referral systems have been under-documented, under-researched, and under-theorised.
Therefore,  this  study  aims  to  assess  maternal  referral  compliance  and  associated  factors  in
Dirashe Woreda, Southern Ethiopia, 2015.
Methods:A retrospective record review was employed to analyze the profile of 1598 mothers
referred in Dirashe woreda in last five years. The data were first retrieved from birth registration
book by abstraction form which was designed for this purpose and the data were entered in to
Epi Info version 3.53. Then after cleaning, besidesdescriptive analysis bivariate and multivariate
logistic regression also computed using SPSS version 20.0.
Result:  The  proportion  of  maternal  referral  compliance  was  81.1%  (1296/1598)  (95%CI=
(79.18, 83.02). Urban residence [AOR= 1.86; 95% CI:(1.20, 2.87)], maternal education [AOR=
1.46;  95%  CI:  (1.02,  2.11)],  twin  pregnancy  [AOR=1.94,  95%  CI:  1.05,  3.57],  having  two  to
three  ANC  visits  [AOR=3.05;  95%  CI:  (1.24,  7.73)]  and  greater  or  equal  to  four  ANC  visits
[AOR=6.54; 95% CI: (2.68, 15.98)] were independent  factors associated with maternal referral
compliance.
Conclusion:  The result of this study showed that maternal referral compliance was high when
compared  with  other  studies.  Independently  associated  predictors  of  maternal  referral
compliance  were  area  of  residence,  maternal  education,  ANC  visits  and  number  of  fetus  in
current  pregnancy.  Therefore,  health  workers  should increase  contact  time  and  effort  during
counseling for  referral especially  rural, illiterate  and singleton pregnant  mothers by improving
ANC uptake.

"COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MANUSCRIPTS AND EDITIONS OF ALISHER NAVOI'S 'HAYRAT UL-ABROR": TEXTUAL VARIATIONS AND INTERPRETATIONS ACROSS TIME AND REGIONS
Creators: name: To'xliyev, B.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This study presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of the various manuscripts and printed editions of Alisher Navoi’s Hayrat ul-Abror, exploring the linguistic, textual, and philosophical variations that have emerged across different regions and historical periods. By employing a multidisciplinary methodology that combines philological analysis with historical-contextual examination, the research identifies significant lexical, syntactic, and thematic differences in the text. These variations are closely tied to the cultural and intellectual environments in which the manuscripts were produced, particularly the influence of Sufi metaphysics and regional linguistic norms. The findings underscore the dynamic nature of manuscript transmission and highlight how Navoi’s work was continually reshaped by evolving intellectual and cultural trends. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of literary transmission in the Persianate world and offers new insights into the broader processes of textual adaptation and interpretation.
Why Our High Schools Need the Arts

Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2014

description: The arts have always had a profound impact on our lives: whether it be to express an idea, emotion, or as a way to communicate. Our worldly artistic experiences and knowledge date as far back as the Pre-historic period. So why is it that music, dance, drama, and visual arts, all cultural subjects so steeped in human history are, for the most part, always on the cutting block in educational curriculum? Why is artistic importance in the curriculum always viewed as mundane and devalued by so many policy makers? Following her best selling book Why Our Schools Need the Arts, author Jessica Hoffman Davis brings us Why Our High Schools Need the Arts. In arguing for an increase in arts courses within the educational curriculum as a way to engage all students and to alleviate the drop out rates of disenfranchised youth, Hoffman Davis offers vivid accounts from students, teachers, administrators “to provide the reader (the high school student, concerned parent, school administrator, teacher, arts education advocate, and/or policymaker) with the necessary information and perspective with which to argue for a prominent place for the arts in the reformation of high school curriculum” (p. 5).

Profiles of Canadian Postsecondary Education Dropouts

Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2014

description: Using longitudinal data of 18- to 20-year-old youths from the Youth in Transition Survey (YITS), the present analysis identified and profiled Canadian postsecondary education dropouts based on the theoretical framework of Tinto (1993). Pertaining to characteristics of pre-postsecondary education conditions, dropouts tended to be male, set low postsecondary education goals, and have a history of dropping out and drug abuse in high school. Pertaining to characteristics of postsecondary education integration, dropouts demonstrated a first-year postsecondary education GPA of 60% or lower, an avoidance of volunteering on campus, and a lack of personal connections on campus. In addition, dropouts have previously contemplated quitting, have low sense of belonging, rely on social assistance, have neither institutional scholarships nor parental loans, are married, and are pursuing postsecondary programs in trade schools or technical schools. Integration into postsecondary education is far more critical to student attrition than pre-postsecondary education conditions. Puisant dans les données longitudinales d’une enquête de Statistique Canada auprès des jeunes en transition (Youth in Transition Survey), notamment la cohorte des 18 à 20 ans, la présente analyse a identifié et souligné, selon le cadre théorique de Tinto (1993), les individus ayant décroché en cours d’études postsecondaires. Ceux qui décrochent avant les études postsecondaires sont souvent masculins, ils se fixent des objectifs limités relatifs aux études supérieures et ont des antécédents impliquant des abandons scolaires et la toxicomanie au secondaire. Parmi les caractéristiques des décrocheurs au niveau postsecondaire, notons une moyenne globale inférieure ou équivalente à 60% lors de leur première année d’études supérieures, une absence de participation aux activités bénévoles sur le campus et un manque de liens personnels sur le campus. De plus, les décrocheurs ont souvent déjà pensé à abandonner, manifestent un faible sentiment d’appartenance, comptent sur l’assistance sociale, n’ont pas reçu de bourses institutionnelles ni de prêts de la part de leurs parents, sont mariés et poursuivent des études postsecondaires dans des écoles techniques ou des écoles de métiers. L’intégration joue un rôle beaucoup plus critique dans le taux d’abandon des étudiants au niveau postsecondaire qu’au secondaire.

description: The detrending moving average (DMA) algorithm is a widely used technique to quantify the long-term correlations of non-stationary time series and the long-range correlations of fractal surfaces, which contains a parameter $θ$ determining the position of the detrending window. We develop multifractal detrending moving average (MFDMA) algorithms for the analysis of one-dimensional multifractal measures and higher-dimensional multifractals, which is a generalization of the DMA method. The performance of the one-dimensional and two-dimensional MFDMA methods is investigated using synthetic multifractal measures with analytical solutions for backward ($θ=0$), centered ($θ=0.5$), and forward ($θ=1$) detrending windows. We find that the estimated multifractal scaling exponent $τ(q)$ and the singularity spectrum $f(α)$ are in good agreement with the theoretical values. In addition, the backward MFDMA method has the best performance, which provides the most accurate estimates of the scaling exponents with lowest error bars, while the centered MFDMA method has the worse performance. It is found that the backward MFDMA algorithm also outperforms the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA). The one-dimensional backward MFDMA method is applied to analyzing the time series of Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index and its multifractal nature is confirmed.

Consistencies Between New Teachers’ Beliefs and Practices and Those Grounding Their Initial Teacher Education Program
Creators: name: Towers, Jo
Publisher: name: Alberta Journal of Educational Research
Year: 2013

description: This paper discusses the experiences of beginning teachers as they navigated their first seven years in the profession. Drawing on data from a research study that charted these teachers’ experiences during and after their initial teacher education program, I reveal that although the participants’ teaching contexts varied considerably, patterns emerged in the ways in which they articulated their roles, practices, commitments, and identities as teachers, and these were consistent with the grounding philosophy and principles of the participants’ initial teacher education program. The findings suggest that some new teachers can and do resist the discursive pressures of the field (e.g., those promoting traditional, behaviourist approaches) and that connections can be made between these teachers’ resistance and their initial teacher education program. Dans cet article, je discute d’expériences d’enseignants débutants qui tentent de s’y retrouver dans leur profession pendant leurs sept premières années d’enseignement. Puisant dans des données d’une étude qui a suivi les expériences de ses enseignants pendant et après leur programme d’études en pédagogie, je démontre que, malgré des milieux d’enseignement sensiblement variés, il en découle des modèles similaires. Ces tendances touchent les façons dont les enseignants définissent leurs rôles, leurs pratiques, leurs engagements et leurs identités professionnelles, et elles sont cohérentes avec la philosophie et les principes de base du programme d’études en pédagogie qu’a suivi chaque participant. Les résultats laissent supposer que certains nouveaux enseignants sont non seulement en mesure de résister aux pressions découlant des discours du domaine (p. ex., ceux qui promeuvent les approches traditionnelles et comportementalistes) mais qu’ils le font en réalité. De plus, les résultats donnent à penser qu’il existe des liens entre la résistance de ces enseignants et leur programme d’études en pédagogie.

Control of three dimensional water waves

description: We study the exact controllability for spatially periodic water waves with surface tension, by localized exterior pressures applied to free surfaces. We prove that in any dimension, the exact controllability holds within arbitrarily short time, for sufficiently small and regular data, provided that the region of control satisfies the geometric control condition. This result was previously obtained by Alazard, Baldi, and Han-Kwan for 2-D water waves. Our proof combines an iterative scheme, that reduces the controllability of the original quasi-linear equation to that of a sequence of linear equations, with a semiclassical approach for the linear control problems.

description: While the landscape of postsecondary education in Alberta continues to expand and diversify, there seems to be very little written about the organization of postsecondary education in the province over the past 15 to 20 years (Wimmer & Schmaus, 2010). This paper provides an analysis of postsecondary education in Alberta over the past 15 to 20 years using social theory, specifically “thinking tools” (Grenfell & James, 2004) provided in Bourdieu’s Field Theory to reveal power struggles in the system. Government policies that drive postsecondary institutions to struggle for position in market-like conditions while tightly controlling the parameters of that market are explored. We discuss the role government policy plays in the reproduction of power structures and their distribution of capital in the province of Alberta. Alors que l’éducation postsecondaire en Alberta continue à s’étendre et à se diversifier, on a très peu écrit sur son organisation dans les 15 ou 20 dernières années (Wimmer & Schmaus, 2010). Cet article analyse l’éducation postsecondaire en Alberta dans les 15 ou 20 dernières années par le biais de la théorie sociale, notamment les outils de pensée (Grenfell & James, 2004) de la théorie des champs de Bourdieu, de sorte à dévoiler les luttes pour le pouvoir au sein du système. Nous nous penchons sur les politiques gouvernementales qui poussent les établissements postsecondaires à se battre pour leur position dans des conditions qui ressemblent à celles du marché tout en contrôlant strictement les paramètres de ce marché. Nous discutons le rôle des politiques gouvernementales dans la reproduction des structures du pouvoir et leur répartition du capital aux établissements postsecondaires en Alberta.

description: The Goldberger-Wise mechanism enables one to stabilize the length of the warped extra dimension employed in Randall-Sundrum models. In this work we generalize this mechanism to models with multiple warped throats sharing a common ultraviolet brane. For independent throats this generalization is straight forward. If the throats possess a discrete interchange symmetry like Z_n the stabilizing dynamics may respect the symmetry, resulting in equal throat lengths, or they may break it. In the latter case the ground state of an initially symmetric configuration is a stabilized asymmetric configuration in which the throat lengths differ. We focus on two- (three-) throat setups with a Z_2 (Z_3) interchange symmetry and present stabilization dynamics suitable for either breaking or maintaining the symmetry. Though admitting more general application, our results are relevant for existing models in the literature, including the two throat model with Kaluza-Klein parity and the three throat model of flavor based on a broken Z_3 symmetry.

Human Immune Deficiency Virus Co-infection among Tuberculosis  Patients in Kamba Woreda, Southern Ethiopia
Creators: name: Abinet Tamiru
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Background:  The  synergetic  impact  of  HIV  and  TB  co-epidemic  has  challenged  the  weak
healthcare  systems  in  resource-limited  settings,  mainly  in  Sub-Saharan  Africa  including
Ethiopia.  In  2013,  1.1  million  (13%)  of  the  9.0  million  people  who  developed  TB  worldwide
were HIV-positive, 78% of whom were  living  in the African  region.  The prevalence of HIV coinfection among TB patients  in Ethiopia  showed variations  by study areas and  settings, ranging
from 11.4% in Dabat district to 44.8% in Debre Markos referral hospital. Therefore,  this  study
aims to  assess the prevalence of HIV co-infection and associated factors among TB patients in
Kamba woreda, Southern Ethiopia.
Methods: Retrospective cross sectional study design  was  implemented  to  analyze  the profile of
745  TB patients registered from  Jan 2009  to Dec 2014  (Sep 2001 up to Nov 23/2007E.C).  The
retrieved  data  from TB  log  books by data abstraction  form  was  entered  in to Epi Info  version
3.53 and cleaned using  frequency and two-by-two tables. Analysis  was  done using SPSS version
20.0 by doing descriptive statistics and both bivariate and multivariate logistic regression.
Results:  The mean age of 745 TB patients at the start of their anti-TB treatment was 31.14yrs
(SD= 13.68yrs). The proportion of male to female was 51.3% vs. 48.9%. Out of 678 (91.01%)
TB patients tested for HIV 47 (6.93%) were positive. Higher HIV positivity was observed among
age  group  30-39  [AOR=  2.60;  95%  CI  (1.06,  6.39);  P=  0.04],  urban  residents  [AOR=  18.30;
95% CI (8.19, 40.88); P= 0.00] and smear negative pulmonary TB patients [AOR= 4.43; 95% CI
(2.05, 9.56); P= 0.00].
Conclusion and Recommendations: Compared to other studies conducted recently, the HIV coinfection  prevalence  in  this  study  was  very  low.  While  age  group  30-39,  urban  residence  and
smear negative pulmonary TB were factors associated with high HIV co-infection in TB patients.
With respect to identified HIV co-infection predictors,  strengthening  the prevention intervention
to the younger age and urban population  in HIV control program  was recommended.

description: A linear code $C$ with the property that $C \cap C^{\perp} = \{0 \}$ is said to be a linear complementary dual, or LCD, code. In this paper, we consider generalized affine Cartesian codes which are LCD. Generalized affine Cartesian codes arise naturally as the duals of affine Cartesian codes in the same way that generalized Reed-Solomon codes arise as duals of Reed-Solomon codes. Generalized affine Cartesian codes are evaluation codes constructed by evaluating multivariate polynomials of bounded degree at points in $m$-dimensional Cartesian set over a finite field $K$ and scaling the coordinates. The LCD property depends on the scalars used. Because Reed-Solomon codes are a special case, we obtain a characterization of those generalized Reed-Solomon codes which are LCD along with the more general result for generalized affine Cartesian codes.

description: Представлены результаты исследований магнитоэлектрических композитных структур на основе полупроводниковых материалов GaAs. Экспериментально были исследованы следующие магнитоэлектрические структуры: Метглас/GaAs/Метглас с размерами 20×5 мм и различными толщинами — 0,6 мм; 0,5 мм; 0,4 мм; 0,3 мм; 0,2 мм. Все измерения проводились по отработанным ранее методикам на измерительном стенде. При обсуждении полученных экспериментальных результатов также учитывается политип пластин, направление кристаллографических осей, сопротивление. Приводится сравнение полученных выходных характеристик. При постоянном поле подмагничивания 30 Э величина магнитоэлектрического коэффициента в структуре Метглас/GaAs/Метглас достигала значения αМЕ = 25,2 В/(см·Э), на частоте электромеханического резонанса fрез = 478 кГц. В заключительной части статьи идет обсуждение перспектив возможного практического применения данных магнитоэлектрических структур.

description: Astrometric Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of maser sources in the Milky Way are used to map the spiral structure of our Galaxy and to determine fundamental parameters such as the rotation velocity ($Θ_0$) and curve and the distance to the Galactic center (R$_0$). Here, we present an update on our first results, implementing a recent change in the knowledge about the Solar motion. It seems unavoidable that the IAU recommended values for R$_0$ and $Θ_0$ need a substantial revision. In particular the combination of 8.5 kpc and 220 \kms\, can be ruled out with high confidence. Combining the maser data with the distance to the Galactic center from stellar orbits and the proper motion of Sgr\,A* gives best values of R$_0$ = 8.3 $\pm$ 0.23 kpc and $Θ_0$ = 239 or 246 $\pm$ 7 \kms, for Solar motions of V$_ \odot$ = 12.23 and 5.25 \kms, respectively. Finally, we give an outlook to future observations in the Bar and Spiral Structure Legacy (BeSSeL) Survey.

Приведена конструкция метаматериалов на основе четырех сплит-кольцевых резонаторов разных геометрических размеров и эквивалентная схема подключения. Проведено компьютерное моделирование метаструктуры с помощью инструмента для трехмерного моделирования ВЧ/СВЧ полей HFSS Ansoft, в результате проведенного компьютерного моделирования, были получены амплитудно-частотные характеристики (S-параметры) с отображением четкого резонанса на исследуемых диапазонах частот, которые используются для проверки методик через определение параметров метаструктур, отрицательных диэлектрической и магнитной проницаемостей, а также применяются для оценки показателя преломления. Полученные расчетные теоретические данные с помощью представленных методик измерения параметров метаструктур согласуются с результатами компьютерного моделирования.

description: Locally repairable codes (LRCs) have received significant recent attention as a method of designing data storage systems robust to server failure. Optimal LRCs offer the ideal trade-off between minimum distance and locality, a measure of the cost of repairing a single codeword symbol. For optimal LRCs with minimum distance greater than or equal to 5, block length is bounded by a polynomial function of alphabet size. In this paper, we give explicit constructions of optimal-length (in terms of alphabet size), optimal LRCs with minimum distance equal to 5.

description: The current Internet is based on a fundamental assumption of reliability and good intent among actors in the network. Unfortunately, unreliable and malicious behaviour is becoming a major obstacle for Internet communication. In order to improve the trustworthiness and reliability of the network infrastructure, we propose a novel trust model to be incorporated into BGP routing. In our approach, trust model is defined by combining voting and recommendation to direct trust estimation for neighbour routers located in different autonomous systems. We illustrate the impact of our approach with cases that demonstrate the indication of distrusted paths beyond the nearest neighbours and the detection of a distrusted neighbour advertising a trusted path. We simulated the impact of weighting voted and direct trust in a rectangular grid of 15*15 nodes (autonomous systems) with a randomly connected topology.

description: Scant research evidence is available about the day-to-day workings of research assistantships or the educational possibilities they provide for research assistants and their academic supervisors. This case study documents the equitable, educative, and ethical nature of one research assistantship at a Canadian university. Data sources include audio recordings and transcripts from 24 research meetings, along with field notes and textual documents gathered over 8 months as the research assistant and academic supervisor designed, conducted, and presented an interview-based study. Evidence shows the academic supervisor supported the research assistant as she learned research skills and developed confidence as a researcher. The case study provides a potential model of an equitable, educative, and ethical research assistantship for the consideration of other research assistants and academic supervisors. Il existe peu de données de recherche portant sur les activités quotidiennes qu’impliquent les assistanats à la recherche ou sur les possibilités éducatives qu’ils offrent aux assistants à la recherche et à leurs superviseurs académiques. Cette étude de cas évoque la nature équitable, éducative et éthique d’un assistanat à la recherche dans une université canadienne. Les sources de données comprennent des enregistrements et des transcriptions audio de 24 réunions de recherche, des notes d’observation sur le terrain et des textes recueillis au cours de 8 mois pendant lesquels l’assistante à la recherche et le superviseur académique ont conçu, entrepris et présenté une étude reposant sur les entrevues. Des données probantes indiquent que le superviseur a appuyé l’assistante à la recherche pendant qu’elle acquérait des compétences de recherche et prenait confiance en elle comme chercheuse. Cette étude de cas constitue un modèle potentiel d’assistanat à la recherche équitable, éducatif et éthique que pourraient examiner d’autres assistants à la recherche et superviseurs académiques.

description: We investigate algebraic structure of light-cone string field theory which respects the spacetime supersymmetry su(2|2). Extracting building blocks from the explicit oscillator expressions of light-cone superstring field theory on the pp-wave and the flat background, we propose a model for more generic backgrounds by giving an algebraic procedure to construct supercharges and Hamiltonian without referring to explicit oscillator expressions. Based on this strategy, we systematically construct interaction terms of light-cone string field theory on the pp-wave background and some examples of its generalization. We also study the supergravity limit of the interaction terms on the pp-wave background.

description: The Langlands program is a vast mathematical projection linking number theory and geometry. In high-energy physics, a connection with mirror symmetry has been suggested in string theory, but it has been little studied in low-energy physics. In the framework of the Langlands program, we present a unified description of the integer and fractional quantum Hall effect and the duality found in the fractal nature of the energy spectrum of two-dimensional block electrons, statistical physics, and quantum computation. The new unified view of existing dualism presented in this paper raises the entirely new question of how each theory of physics is connected as a piece of the Langlands program.
PREVALENCE  AND  ASSOCIATED  FACTORS  OF INTIMATE  PARTNER  PHYSICAL  VIOLENCE  AGAINST  WOMEN  IN  TOCHA  DISTRICT,  DAWURO  ZONE,  SOUTH  WEST ETHIOPIA
Creators: name: ABESHAW AYELE

description: Background:  Intimate partner  violence  is a serious human r ights violation and  global public
health problem.  Physical violence is the most commo n, affecting 30% of women worldwide
and  yet under estimated social and health problem.  This study was  aimed at investigating the
prevalence,  and  associated  factors  of  intimate  partner  physical  violence  against  women  in
south Western Ethiopia.
Objectives: The  main objective of this study was  to assess prevalence and associated factors
of intimate partner  physical  violence against women 15-49 years in Tocha woreda, Dawuro
Zone, SNNPR, South west Ethiopia
Method: A cross-sectional, community  based study was conducted from January to February
2015.  A  multistage  sampling  method  was  employed.  Data  were  entered  using  Epi-info
version 3.5.1 and  analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences  version (SPSS) 20.0.
The  analysis  was  focus  on  life  time  and  current  (past  12  months)  prevalence  of  intimate
partner  physical  violence  against  women  and  the  association  of  selected  potential  factors.
Data  was  analyzed  using  logistic  regression.  The  summary  results  of  data  were  presented
descriptively  by  frequency  tables  and  analytically  presented  by  crude  odds  ratio,  adjusted
odds ratio and confidence interval.
Results:  The life time and past 12 months prevalence of intimate partner physical violence
against  women  were  49.6%  and  43.4%  respectively.  Partner  heavy  (f requent)  alcohol  use
(AOR  2.234,  95%  CI  1.282-3.891),  husband  beliefs  on  dominance  (AOR  2.664;  95%CI:
1.697-4.182),  polygamy  (AOR  3.267,  95%CI  1.985  –5.377),  marriage  by  abduction  (AOR
2.808, 95%CI  1.238-6.371)  and being orthodox  (AOR 8.453; 95%CI 4.453 to 16.047) were
significant factors associated with intimate partner physical violence against women.
Conclusion:  Half  of  women  have  experienced  at  least  one  incident  of  intimate  physical
violence  in their  lifetime.  Multifaceted  interventions such as educating partner on effect of
heavy  alcohol  use,  increasing  public  awareness  on  gender  equality  and  addressing  gender
norms and attitude  to reduce  marriage by abduction and  marriage to  polygamous  will help to
reduce violence.
Force and flow transition in plowed granular media

description: We use plate drag to study the response of granular media to localized forcing as a function of volume fraction, $ϕ$. A bifurcation in the force and flow occurs at the onset of dilatancy, $ϕ_c.$ Below $ϕ_c$ rapid fluctuations in the drag force, $F_D,$ are observed. Above $ϕ_c$ fluctuations in $F_D$ are periodic and increase with $ϕ$. Velocity field measurements indicate that the bifurcation in $F_D$ results from the formation of stable shear bands above $ϕ_c$ which are created and destroyed periodically during drag. A friction-based model captures the dynamics for $ϕ>ϕ_c$.

The Teaching Principal: An Untenable Position or a Promising Model?

description: This paper reports on an interpretive study that examined the role of the teaching principal, particularly as it relates to principals’ moral and legal requirement to work as instructional leaders for student learning. A teaching principal is defined as a principal who has a “double load” or dual roles in teaching and administration (Clarke & Stevens, 2009). In this study, we explored the constitution and effects of this role on individuals and leadership practices of 12 rural teaching principals in Alberta and Manitoba. Findings reflect the need to develop policies that sustain the smaller schools which depend upon administrators capable of thriving in this dual role. Additionally, the way in which teaching principals practice as instructional leaders promises to enrich the literature on instructional leadership. Specifically, the practices that emerge through the teaching principalship are a unique adaptation of existing conceptualizations that offer considerable advantages over those that presuppose a full-time administrative appointment. Cet article rend compte d’une étude interprétative portant sur le rôle du directeur enseignant, notamment par rapport à l’exigence morale et juridique qu’ont les directeurs de travailler comme leaders pédagogiques. Un directeur enseignant en est un qui a une « double charge », qui joue deux rôles, un en enseignement et un en administration (Clarke & Stevens, 2009). Dans cette étude, nous avons exploré la création et les effets de ce rôle sur les individus et sur les pratiques de leadership de douze directeurs enseignants en milieu rural en Alberta et au Manitoba. Les résultats reflètent la nécessité de développer des politiques qui appuient les plus petites écoles qui dépendent d’administrateurs en mesure de prospérer dans le contexte de ce double rôle. De plus, les pratiques qu’emploient les directeurs enseignants dans leur capacité de leaders pédagogiques promettent d’enrichir la littérature sur le leadership pédagogique. Plus spécifiquement, les pratiques qui ressortent des pratiques des directeurs enseignants constituent une adaptation unique des conceptualisations existantes, une qui offre un nombre considérable d’avantages par rapport à celles qui présupposent un poste administratif à temps plein.

The effects of individualizing an early numeracy intervention for kindergarteners struggling with early mathematics
Creators: name: Durica, Jovanka
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Numerous longitudinal studies demonstrate that students who perform poorly in mathematics at the end of kindergarten continue to perform poorly throughout elementary school. This finding is critical as early mathematics knowledge is not only vital for later success in mathematics, it is the greatest predictor of overall academic success. Hence, a compelling starting point for intervention is kindergarten; effective intervention in early numeracy would lead to success with later mathematics, and consequently academics in general. The current study employed a multiple baseline design (multiple probe technique) to determine if individualization of a standard protocol early numeracy intervention is effective in improving early numeracy skills of struggling kindergarteners. A functional relationship (3 demonstrations of a basic effect) was found for number identification. Two of the three participants required extensive individualization before this effect was demonstrated. The fourth participant’s lack of effect was due to improving performance in baseline, which complicated analysis. Additionally, there was an increase in broad early numeracy skills from pre-baseline to post-intervention for all participants. Implications and future directions for research are discussed.

description: Рассматриваются модели сигналов в двухдиапазонном радиолокационном комплексе, принимаемые от медленно и быстро флуктуирующего объекта. Время-селективные замирания отраженных сигналов от быстро флуктуирующего объекта объясняются воздействием узкополосно-широкополосных активных шумовых помех. В условиях априорной определенности статистических характеристик сигналов, помех и шумов и их числовых параметров задача распознавания время-селективных замираний отраженных сигналов от объектов решается как задача многоальтернативного обнаружения. Вместо выражений для логарифмов отношений правдоподобия используются соответствующие им достаточные статистики. Для преодоления параметрической априорной неопределенности применяется расширенное пространство оценок, в соответствии с которым помимо неизвестных числовых параметров сигналов оценивается обратная ковариационная матрица помех и шумов.
