description: Surrey Archaeological Collections, 106, 217-230
description: There are 40 known archaeological investigations into the 10.5km suggested alignment of the Rowhook to Farley Heath Roman road yet its origin, destination, purpose and period of use remain unclear. Research by volunteers in 2022-3 found sections at Canfold Wood, Wykehurst and Great Wickfield extending the proven length 1.5km further north. Excavations revealed a carefully constructed Roman road with a laid surface of local sandstone and chert. The metalled surface was about 3.6m wide, 15-25cm thick in the centre with indications of a camber of about 7cm (1:17). There was some evidence for side ditches and, in one place, an apparently contemporary adjoining area of stones that might be the base of a stone pile for road maintenance, a passing place or the entrance to an access track. The quality of the engineering and connection with Stane Street suggest construction in the 1st century AD but a lack of ruts and potholes could mean that, although suitable for pack animals, few carts used the road. Other routes less vulnerable to damage from fast-flowing streams may have supplemented the road by the time the nearby Rapsley villa was enlarged in the 3rd century.

description: School administrators are mandated to take the instructional leadership roles. On this premise, a study assessed the extent of instructional leadership practices of public elementary school administrators in El Salvador City Division, Philippines. Also, it explored their actual practices, challenges encountered, and the ways they overcome the challenges in practicing instructional leadership. It employed a mixed-method research design. It administered the adopted assessment tool on instructional leadership to 15 school administrators and 12 of them were involved in the individual interviews. This was conducted between the last quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the extent of instructional leadership practices. Also, it analyzed the actual practices, the challenges encountered, and the ways of overcoming these challenges using thematic narrative analysis. Results revealed that public school administrators have always practiced the four domains or strands of instructional leadership to a very high extent. Providing the technical assistance, conducting clinical supervision, and innovating teaching and learning emerged as themes of their actual practices. These administrators had encountered challenges in dealing with teachers’ attitudes, conflicting schedules and activities, and teachers’ resistance to changes. They overcome the challenges by trying to meet the competency standards, adapting and modifying the existing programs, contextualizing teaching and learning, and inculcating the value and benefits of class observation. Looking at the findings from the lens of deliberate practice theory, it was concluded that school administrators have indicated they have acquired knowledge and a high level of understanding of their instructional leadership roles. But despite of this, they still met challenges and have tried their best to manage them. This study presented some doable and practical recommendations to the Department of Education (DepEd) and concerned offices which may benefit both the internal and external stakeholders of the schools.

The Varieties of Prudence
Creators: name: Gubler, Simone
Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2024

description: We sometimes face personal choices that are so momentous they appear to give rise to an intrapersonal analogue to the non-identity problem. Where the non-identity problem presents as a problem for morality, the intrapersonal analogue presents as a problem for prudence. The analogy has been explored recently by Das and Paul, and although, as this paper argues, their analysis fails—there is no intrapersonal analogue for the non-identity problem—it functions to highlight a persistent and perplexing puzzle for prudential rationality. This paper offers its own explanation: namely, that the phenomena that motivate the purported intrapersonal problem are better accounted for by conceiving prudence as disjunctive. To this end, I sketch a theory of two varieties of prudence.
Exploring the Impact of Sleep on Emotion Regulation Across the Life Span
Creators: name: Fan, Jennifer
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: When faced with a situation eliciting emotion, individuals can alter their response via emotion regulation. Literature has shown that two specific regions of the brain, the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex (PFC), are involved in this process. Previous research has also demonstrated differing effects of sleep deprivation and age on emotion regulation ability. This study investigates the relationships between sleep quality, emotion regulation, and age using survey and fMRI data from an ongoing study, Emotion and Physiology in Context (EPIC). Our analyses suggest that poor sleep quality is associated with worse emotion regulation, and this ability decreases as age increases. Moreover, poor emotion regulation was found to be associated with decreased PFC activity. These results provide insight into emotional wellbeing and how it can be impacted by sleep and aging.

description: Faculty who are new to the organization may undergo a period of adjustment that may bring them to positive or negative experiences. This study explored the experiences of the newly-hired faculty in the university with the end to acquire an in-depth and profound understanding of these experiences. It involved eight purposively chosen faculty in a semi-structured interview and focus group discussion which was documented in voice and video recorders. Using Colaizzi’s 7 step-approach to data analysis, results revealed three paradoxical themes: the joys and struggles of teaching; successes and pains of learning; and the privileges and challenges of serving. On one hand, the joys and struggles of teaching were brought about by their adjustments in instruction. On the other hand, successes and pains of learning centered on professional growth. Finally, the privileges and challenges of serving incorporated the experiences in research, production and extension. Generally, these teachers have experienced ups and downs in their 􀅭irst two years of teaching at a higher education institution.

description: Iron pnictides and selenides display a variety of unusual magnetic phases originating from the interplay between electronic, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom. Using powder inelastic neutron scattering on the two-leg ladder BaFe2Se3, we fully characterize the static and dynamic spin correlations associated with the Fe4 block state, an exotic magnetic ground state observed in this low-dimensional magnet and in Rb0.89Fe1.58Se2. All the magnetic excitations of the Fe4 block state predicted by an effective Heisenberg model with localized spins are observed below 300 meV and quantitatively reproduced. However, the data only account for 16 mub^2 per Fe2+, approximatively 2/3 of the total spectral weight expected for localized S=2 moments. Our results highlight how orbital degrees of freedom in iron-based magnets can conspire to stabilize an exotic magnetic state.

I congratulate the authors on their elegant and computationally tractable ap-
proach to inference problems in network archaeology. This is one of the few papers
which rigorously analyzes inference for noisy temporal networks. The key idea is
to compute the distribution of the possible arrival orders of vertices given an un-
labeled network realization (online detection) and construct the confidence set for
the root by sorting vertices according to their probability of arriving first given the
observed unlabeled network. A Gibbs type algorithm is provided to compute the
above distribution in O(m + n log n) time (m, n are, respectively, the number of
edges and vertices). Finally, some theoretical guarantees are provided for the size of
the confidence set provided the noise is not too large. I have the following comments

description: Unbiased quantum Monte-Carlo simulations are performed on the nearest-neighbor spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ pyrochlore XXZ model with an antiferromagnetic longitudinal and a weak ferromagnetic transverse exchange couplings, $J$ and $J_\perp$. The specific heat exhibits a broad peak at $T_{\mathrm{CSI}}\sim0.2J$ associated with a crossover to a classical Coulomb liquid regime showing a suppressed spin-ice monopole density, a broadened pinch-point singularity, and the Pauling entropy for $|J_\perp|\ll J$, as in classical spin ice. On further cooling, the entropy restarts decaying for $J_\perp>J_{\perp c}\sim-0.104J$, producing another broad specific heat peak for a crossover to a bosonic quantum Coulomb liquid, where the spin correlation contains both photon and quantum spin-ice monopole contributions. With negatively increasing $J_\perp$ across $J_{\perp c}$, a first-order thermal phase transition occurs from the quantum Coulomb liquid to an XY ferromagnet. Relevance to magnetic rare-earth pyrochlore oxides is discussed.

Exploring the Educational Advocacy of Graduate Students in Philippine Higher Education Institution

Year: 2021
Subjects: Education

description: Every school needs an advocate leader who can influence others to address issues, concerns, and problems that affect education, its quality, access, and the welfare of the stakeholders, especially that of the learners. This leader needs to subscribe to the redefined roles and nature of leadership. Advocacy leadership challenges educational leaders to take a progressive stance on pressing educational issues and problems. The next in line leaders need to awaken in themselves a specific advocacy and tune-in to this new trend. With this, a qualitative inquiry explored the educational advocacies of twenty graduate students involved in focus group discussions and interviews. Using the thematic network as an analytical framework, the inquiry identified 46 keywords, 51 basic themes, and 6 organizing themes. Thus, a new thematic network of educational advocacies was generated. Learners’ welfare was the most dominant educational advocacy of graduate students, while leadership and governance, professional development, culture and religion, safety and environmental protection, and community development were considered as developing and noteworthy advocacies. These educational advocacies were deemed interconnected and interdependent to each other. Also, the study comes up with relevant propositions, while it makes recommendations for further research and utilization of the new framework. The results have implications for revisiting the educational administration curriculum by mapping out the subjects that contribute to the development of educational advocacy.

description: Marginal zone lymphomas (MZLs) make up 5% to 10% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. In the United
States, extranodal MZL (EMZL) is the most common subtype (61%), followed by nodal MZL (NMZL;
30%) and splenic MZL (SMZL; 9%), with an increased incidence across all subtypes with age. MZL
is characterized by an indolent course with a characteristic clinical presentation by subtype. EMZL
frequently presents with localized mucosa involvement at diagnosis. SMZL commonly involves the
spleen, bone marrow, and peripheral blood and less frequently the lymph nodes. NMZL typically
presents with lymphadenopathy, occasionally involving the bone marrow or peripheral blood, and
without splenic or extranodal involvement. The overall survival (OS) of patients with MZL is favorable
with a 5-year relative survival rate of 90%.

A new class of interpolatory $L$-splines with adjoint end conditions

description: A thin plate spline surface for interpolation of smooth transfinite data prescribed along concentric circles was recently proposed by Bejancu, using Kounchev's polyspline method. The construction of the new `Beppo Levi polyspline' surface reduces, via separation of variables, to that of a countable family of univariate $L$-splines, indexed by the frequency integer $k$. This paper establishes the existence, uniqueness and variational properties of the `Beppo Levi $L$-spline' schemes corresponding to non-zero frequencies $k$. In this case, the resulting $L$-spline end conditions are formulated in terms of \emph{adjoint} differential operators, unlike the usual `natural' $L$-spline end conditions, which employ identical operators at both ends. Our $L$-spline error analysis leads to an $L^{2}$-error bound for transfinite surface interpolation with Beppo Levi polysplines.

Generalizing asymmetric and pseudo-Voigt functions by means of q-Gaussian Tsallis functions to analyze the wings of Raman spectral bands
Creators: name: Sparavigna, Amelia Carolina
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Tsallis q-Gaussian distribution, Asymmetric q-Gaussian distribution, Voigt distribution, pseudo-Voigt distribution

description: It is important, for further applying the q-Gaussian Tsallis functions, to discuss how they can generalize asymmetric and pseudo-Voigtian functions. Some remarks about Voigt functions are also stressed, regarding the behavior of the wings of Raman spectral components. The use of Voigt and pseudo-Voigt functions implies the wings as Lorentzian, but this is not observed for the Raman bands. At the same time, the wings are not Gaussians, and for this reason q-Gaussians are fundamental for evidencing wing behavior.
School Performance, Leadership and Core Behavioral Competencies: Does Higher Degree Matter?
Creators: name: Caingcoy, Manuel
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2020
Subjects: Education

description: This paper finds out whether a higher degree matters in school performance, and in demonstrating leadership and core behavioral competencies among school heads. This was conducted to support the existing and future policies of the Department of Education and interested funders for the scholarship and advanced studies of school heads. Using a cross-sectional method, it involved 192 randomly selected participants. Data on school performance was obtained at the office of Surigao del Sur Division, while data on competencies were gathered through the self-administered assessment tools developed by the Department of Education. These data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. Results revealed that there was no significant difference in the school performance of school heads. This implies that the highest degree obtained is not a guarantee for better school performance. As found, those with doctorate degrees had a very high and consistent demonstration in all dimensions of leadership and core behavioral competencies. As unveiled, there were significant differences in the demonstrated competencies based on the highest educational qualifications. These imply that obtaining the highest degrees can allow school heads to acquire, develop, and demonstrate the competencies consistently better than their counterparts. Results have implications for DepEd officials, funders, and policy-makers.
The hypergeometric series for the partition function of the 2-D Ising model

description: In 1944 Onsager published the formula for the partition function of the Ising model for the infinite square lattice. He was able to express the internal energy in terms of a special function, but he left the free energy as a definite integral. Seven decades later, the partition function and free energy have yet to be written in closed form, even with the aid of special functions. Here we evaluate the definite integral explicitly, using hypergeometric series. Let $β$ denote the reciprocal temperature, $J$ the coupling and $f$ the free energy per spin. We prove that $-βf = \ln(2 \cosh 2K) - κ^2\, {}_4F_3 [1,1,\tfrac{3}{2},\tfrac{3}{2};\ 2,2,2 ;\ 16 κ^2 ] $, where $_p F_q$ is the generalized hypergeometric function, $K=βJ$, and $2κ= {\rm tanh} 2K {\rm sech} 2K$.

Our main results concern the computation of the quantum isometry groups of these 10 spheres, taken in an affine real/complex sense.

description: Little effort has been devoted to studying generalised notions or models of (un)predictability, yet is an important concept throughout physics and plays a central role in quantum information theory, where key results rely on the supposed inherent unpredictability of measurement outcomes. In this paper we continue the programme started in [1] developing a general, non-probabilistic model of (un)predictability in physics. We present a more refined model that is capable of studying different degrees of "relativised" unpredictability. This model is based on the ability for an agent, acting via uniform, effective means, to predict correctly and reproducibly the outcome of an experiment using finite information extracted from the environment. We use this model to study further the degree of unpredictability certified by different quantum phenomena, showing that quantum complementarity guarantees a form of relativised unpredictability that is weaker than that guaranteed by Kochen-Specker-type value indefiniteness. We exemplify further the difference between certification by complementarity and value indefiniteness by showing that, unlike value indefiniteness, complementarity is compatible with the production of computable sequences of bits.

description: Future intelligent transportation systems promise increased safety and energy efficiency. Realization of such systems will require vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology. High fidelity V2V communication is, in turn, dependent on accurate V2V channel estimation. V2V channels have characteristics differing from classical cellular communication channels. Herein, geometry-based stochastic modeling is employed to develop a characterization of V2V channel channels. The resultant model exhibits significant structure; specifically, the V2V channel is characterized by three distinct regions within the delay-Doppler plane. Each region has a unique combination of specular reflections and diffuse components resulting in a particular element-wise and group-wise sparsity. This joint sparsity structure is exploited to develop a novel channel estimation algorithm. A general machinery is provided to solve the jointly element/group sparse channel (signal) estimation problem using proximity operators of a broad class of regularizers. The alternating direction method of multipliers using the proximity operator is adapted to optimize the mixed objective function. Key properties of the proposed objective functions are proven which ensure that the optimal solution is found by the new algorithm. The effects of pulse shape leakage are explicitly characterized and compensated, resulting in measurably improved performance. Numerical simulation and real V2V channel measurement data are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. Results show that the new method can achieve significant gains over previously proposed methods.

description: The use of performance feedback in the workplace has gained popularity over the years, yet school heads have been challenged in providing it to teachers. In the initial interview, they shared that evaluation results can impact teachers’ motivation, and that feedback should be done carefully. However, they failed to clearly articulate a specific mechanism that had been applied in this vital role. Also, no studies have provided clear detail on the feedback mechanism used by school heads in the past. For this reason, a study explored the feedback mechanisms employed by school heads in conveying the performance evaluation results to teachers. This study employed a narrative inquiry, and interviews were conducted with five school heads and five teachers who were chosen purposively for this research. Responses were recorded using a voice recorder. These responses were transcribed and analyzed using thematic narrative analysis. Based on transcripts, the study identified six emergent themes, such as conversational (one-on-one), relational, reflective, technical, reinforcing, and properly situated mechanisms in conveying performance evaluation results to teachers. Thus, a new feedback mechanism framework was developed.

description: A series of archaeological features dating to the prehistoric and Roman periods were identified south-west of the village of Buckland. The scatter of prehistoric features included a Neolithic pit and a Late Bronze Age cremation burial, demonstrating the site was at least sporadically visited in the Mesolithic to Bronze Age periods. The Roman occupation was much more substantial with successive ditched enclosures straddling the Greensand Ridge overlooking 'The Sloughs' stream to the west. The earlier Roman enclosure had evidence of domestic ironworking/smithing, possibly relating to a farmstead.

description: In general we can say that the thermal width of quarkonia corresponds to imaginary part of its potential. Gravity dual of theories give explicit form of potential as $V_{Q\bar{Q}}$ . Since there is an explicit formula for $Im V_{Q\bar{Q}}$ one can consider different gravity duals and study the results of contribution of various parameters. Variable gravity duals of moving pair in plasma have different results for potential. Our paper shows that deformation parameter c in warp factor leads to new results that we present them for arbitrary angles of the pair with respect to its velocity. We compare our results with the case that no deformation parameter is in metric background. We will see that the thermal width of the pair increases with increasing deformation parameter. Also, for nonzero values of deformation parameter the pair feels moving plasma in all distances. In addition our results indicate that contribution of deformation parameter leads to larger dissociation length for the moving pair reverse to the effect of the pairs velocity in the plasma.

Exploring the Educational Advocacy of Graduate Students in Philippine Higher Education Institution
Creators: name: Caingcoy, Manuel

Subjects: Education

description: Every school needs an advocate leader who can influence others to address issues, concerns, and problems that affect education, its quality, access, and the welfare of the stakeholders, especially that of the learners. This leader needs to subscribe to the redefined roles and nature of leadership. Advocacy leadership challenges educational leaders to take a progressive stance on pressing educational issues and problems. The next in line leaders need to awaken in themselves a specific advocacy and tune-in to this new trend. With this, a qualitative inquiry explored the educational advocacies of twenty graduate students involved in focus group discussions and interviews. Using the thematic network as an analytical framework, the inquiry identified 46 keywords, 51 basic themes, and 6 organizing themes. Thus, a new thematic network of educational advocacies was generated. Learners’ welfare was the most dominant educational advocacy of graduate students, while leadership and governance, professional development, culture and religion, safety and environmental protection, and community development were considered as developing and noteworthy advocacies. These educational advocacies were deemed interconnected and interdependent to each other. Also, the study comes up with relevant propositions, while it makes recommendations for further research and utilization of the new framework. The results have implications for revisiting the educational administration curriculum by mapping out the subjects that contribute to the development of educational advocacy.
Muon g-2 and searches for a new leptophobic sub-GeV dark boson in a missing-energy experiment at CERN

description: The 3.6 σdiscrepancy between the predicted and measured values of the anomalous magnetic moment of positive muons can be explained by the existence of a new dark boson Z_μwith a mass in the sub-GeV range, which is coupled predominantly to the second and third lepton generations through the L_μ- L_τcurrent . After a discussion of the present phenomenological bounds on the Z_μcoupling, we show that if the Z_μexists, it could be observed in the reaction μ+Z \to μ+Z+Z_μof a muon scattering off nuclei by looking for an excess of events with large missing muon beam energy in a detector due to the prompt bremsstrahlung Z_μdecay Z_μ\to ννinto a couple of neutrinos. We describe the experimental technique and the preliminary study of the feasibility for the proposed search. We show that this specific signal allows for a the search for the Z_μwith a sensitivity in the coupling constant α_μ> 10^{-11}, which is 3 orders of magnitude higher than the value required to explain the discrepancy. We point out that the availability of high-energy and -intensity muon beams at CERN SPS provides a unique opportunity to either discover or rule out the Z_μin the proposed search in the near future. The experiment is based on the missing-energy approach developed for the searches for invisible decays of dark photons and (pseudo)scalar mesons at CERN and is complementary to these experiments.

Weaving Teaching and Leading A Systematic Literature Review on Pedagogical Leadership Contributions
Creators: name: Caingcoy, Manuel

Year: 2021
Subjects: Education

description: Pedagogical leadership has become an emerging and essential debate in the field of educational administration and leadership. This was a result of the shift from the hierarchical type in the past to a more inclusive, collaborative, and participative leadership. Previous studies indicate the furtherance of the inquiry into pedagogical leadership since it is a work in progress. Method: For this reason, a systematic literature review mapped the literature relevant to pedagogical leadership. Findings: The review drew the lines between the empirical and theoretical-conceptual contributions, including the methodologies considered in both contributions. Implications for Research and Practice: The results have implications for a more robust theoretical-empirical model or framework of pedagogical leadership applicable to specific levels of education, especially higher education contexts. The study also implies applying pedagogical leadership in the team, at departmental and organizational levels. Results imply promoting the culture of pedagogical leadership.

The adoption of ICT in Malaysian public hospitals: the interoperability of electronic health records and health information systems

description: There have been a number of researches that investigated ICT adoption in Malaysian healthcare. With the small number of hospitals that adopt ICT in their daily clinical and administrative operations, the possibility to enable data exchange across 131 public hospitals in Malaysia is still a long journey. In addition to those studies, this research was framed under six objectives, which aim to critically review existing literature on the subject matter, identify barriers of ICT adoption in Malaysia, understand the administrative context during the pre and post-ICT adoption, and recommend possible solutions to the Ministry of Health of Malaysia (MoHM) in its efforts to implement interoperable electronic health records (EHR) and health information systems (HTIS). Specifically, this research aimed to identify the factors that had significant impacts to the processes of implementing interoperable EHR and HTIS by the MoHM. Furthermore, it also aimed to propose relevant actors who should involve in the implementation phases. These factors and actors were used to develop a model for implementing interoperable EHR and HTIS in Malaysia. To gather the needed data, series of interviews were conducted with three groups of participants. They were ICT administrators of MoHM, ICT and medical record administrators of three hospitals, and physicians of three hospitals. To ensure the interview feedback was representing the context of EHR and HTIS implementation in Malaysia, two hospital categories were selected, which included the hospitals with HTIS and non-HTIS hospitals. The government documents were then used to triangulate the feedback to ensure dependability, credibility, transferability and conformity of the findings. Two techniques were used to analyse the data, which were thematic analysis and theme matching. These two techniques were modified from its original method, known as pattern matching. The originality of this research was presented in the findings and methods to transform them into solutions and provide recommendation to the MoHM. In general, the results showed that the technological factors contributed less to the success of the implementation of interoperable EHR and HTIS compared to the managerial and administrative factors. Four main practical and social contributions were identified from this research, which included synchronisation of managerial elements, political determination and change management transformation, optimisation of use of existing legacy system (Patient Management System) and finally the roles of actors. Nevertheless, the findings of this research would be more dependable and transferable if more participants had been willing to participate especially among the physicians and those who managed the ICT adoptions under the MoHM.
