description: We discuss the role of dilaton, which is supposed to be representing a special feature of scale symmetry of QCD, trace anomaly, in dense baryonic matter. The idea that the scale symmetry breaking of QCD is responsible for the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry is presented along the similar spirit of Freund-Nambu model. The incorporation of dilaton field in the hidden local symmetric parity doublet model is briefly sketched with the possible role of dilaton at high density baryonic matter, the emergence of linear sigma model in dilaton limit.

Crossover from fast relaxation to physical aging in colloidal adsorption at fluid interfaces

description: The adsorption dynamics of a colloidal particle at a fluid interface is studied theoretically and numerically, documenting distinctly different relaxation regimes. The adsorption of a perfectly smooth particle is characterized by a fast exponential relaxation to thermodynamic equilibrium where the interfacial free energy has a minimum. The short relaxation time is given by the ratio of viscous damping to capillary forces. Physical and/or chemical heterogeneities in a colloidal system, however, can result in multiple minima of the free energy giving rise to metastability. In the presence of metastable states we observe a crossover to a slow logarithmic relaxation reminiscent of physical aging in glassy systems. The long relaxation time is determined by the thermally-activated escape rate from metastable states. Analytical expressions derived in this work yield quantitative agreement with molecular dynamics simulations and recent experimental observations. This work provides new insights on the adsorption dynamics of colloidal particles at fluid interfaces.

description: This work answers questions relevant to the determination of Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods: 1) how does the use of weight-based versus spend-based emissions factors (EF) affect the magnitude of emissions calculated, 2) how does using different sources for emissions factors within a same type of EF affect overall estimated emissions, and 3) what is needed to standardize and ease calculation of Scope 3 emissions across institutions, countries, and backgrounds such that the process can be automated and ensure replicable results. To answer these questions, a collaboration with seven universities across the United States was formed to share best practices and food purchasing data. This collaboration enabled the development of a python-based categorization tool to ease and standardize calculation of Scope 3 emissions from purchased foods and helped validate and expand the applicability of the results and methodologies. To understand the impact of different emissions factors on calculated emissions outcomes, the Stanford 2019 food purchasing data was used as a case study and both weight-based (kg CO2-eq/kg item purchased) and spend-based (kg CO2-eq/$ item purchased) EFs were applied to this data set. It was found that for the 2019 Stanford food purchasing case study, the largest estimated emissions were about 2.5times larger than the smallest estimated emissions, and although the range of estimated emissions for the weight-based factors is larger than the range for the spend-based factors, the average is remarkably similar at 10,543 and 11,282 metric tons of CO2-eq respectively.

description: We deal with interval linear systems of equations. We present a new operator, which generalizes the interval Gauss-Seidel method. Also, based on the new operator and properties of the well-known methods, we propose a new algorithm, called the magnitude method. We illustrate by numerical examples that our approach overcomes some classical methods with respect to both time and sharpness of enclosures.

description:  Cet article présente une analyse contrastive des marqueurs discursifs dans des textes de genres différents en moyen français. Le travail s'inscrit dans le champ de la pragmatique historique et interroge les séquences textuelles se donnant comme de l'oral. L'étude comparative s'appuie sur des textes présentant donc tous un rapport privilégié à l'oralité : des mystères, des comptes rendus de procès, une chanson de geste et deux mises en prose. Il s'agit d'analyser les emplois des marqueurs du discours et de montrer, d'une part, que ces unités sont encodées différemment selon le genre du texte et, d'autre part, que leurs valeurs pragmatiques et interactionnelles divergent. L'enquête montre que la plupart des marqueurs dont le rôle est éminemment pragmatique se trouvent dans le théâtre. Leur apparition est, en effet, liée à l'interaction. Ainsi, l'oral encodé à l'écrit varie selon le genre du texte et la parole présente différents degrés d'oralité.
description:  This article deals with discourse markers in various types of literature originating from the 14th and 15th century. It is based on a historical-pragmatic perspective, focusing on speech-like texts and seeking to determine their degrees of orality. The corpus-based study compares the use of discourse markers in medieval trials, mystery play texts, chansons de geste and their prose versions. The study demonstrates great variation of discourse markers across texts regarding frequency of occurrence, values and usage according to the literary genre. Dialogic genres show more variety of discourse markers than epic stories and prose fiction. Moreover, some discourse markers that can only be found in drama comedies are still used as discourse markers in modern French. Their presence is closely related to the interactional context. Finally, orality is differently repre - sented in different genres of medieval texts. Each of these representations pertains to a specific literary genre and various degrees of orality can be identified.

title: L'apport des textes de la pratique pour l'étude des marqueurs d'oralité en moyen français
Creators: name: Vermander, Pierre
Publisher: name: Universität Graz
Year: 2019

description:  Cet article s'intéresse à la présence des documents de la pratique dans les études linguistiques diachroniques concernant la question de l'oralité médiévale. Après une présentation des marqueurs d'oralité, à distinguer des marqueurs discursifs proprement dits, nous montrerons la faible utilisation de ces documents par les linguistes, due principalement à leur formation et aux
difficultés d'accès à ces textes. Nous présenterons alors un panel de ces sources (registres des parlements, procès, lettres de rémission) qui pourraient être compulsées de conserve avec la littérature et discuterons leur intérêt à la fois méta-linguistique (statut des jurons et la réception des documents) et linguistique (utilisation des coordonnants à fonction pragmatique, phénomènes syntaxiques 'oraux'). Ce travail ne consiste nullement en une critique des études sur l'oralité médiévale
basées sur la littérature mais se veut plutôt comme un pont lancé entre différents massifs textuels permettant d'approcher cette problématique ainsi qu'une proposition visant à permettre une approche nouvelle de la question.
description: This article critically reflects on the overwhelming presence of literary texts in French diachronic linguistics, especially concerning medieval discourse markers and orality. After an attempt to linguistically define orality markers and to distinguish them from discourse markers, the question of why 'practical' non-literary documents (such as parliamentary records, trials or remission letters) have received little attention in linguistics will be discussed. We will then briefly
present some of these documents, which could be studied together with literary texts, pointing out interesting meta-linguistic (status of swear-words, reception of these documents) and linguistic (pragmatic use of coordinators, 'oral' syntactic phenomena) aspects. This paper does not to seek to criticize prior studies on medieval orality in literature but rather to review the various sources available for the examination of medieval orality as well as to suggest new ways to deal with the problem of data.

description: The goal of this study is to contribute to the physics underlying the material properties of suspensions that exhibit shear thickening through the ultrasonic characterization of suspensions of cornstarch in a density-matched solution. Ultrasonic measurements at frequencies in the range of 4 to 8 MHz of the speed of sound and the frequency-dependent attenuation properties are reported for concentrations of cornstarch in a density-matched aqueous (cesium chloride brine) suspension, ranging up to 40% cornstarch. The speed of sound is found to range from 1483 +/- 10 m/s in pure brine to 1765 +/- 9 m/s in the 40% cornstarch suspension. The bulk modulus of a granule of cornstarch is inferred to be (1.2 +/- 0.1) X 10^{10} Pa. The attenuation coefficient at 5 MHz increases from essentially zero in brine to 12.0 +/- 1.2 dB/cm at 40% cornstarch.

title: La brève vie d'une famille de marqueurs discursifs du français Enda, anenda, manenda, par manda, etc.
Creators: name: PARUSSA, Gabriella
Publisher: name: Universität Graz
Year: 2019

description: Dans cet article nous proposons une approche diachronique d'une famille de marqueurs discursifs construits à partir de enda (anenda, manenda, par manda, etc.), qui a connu une existence assez brève (du milieu du 15e  siècle au début du 17e
 siècle) et qui n'est donc plus employé en français moderne. Cette étude essaie de retracer la formation et l'évolution de ce paradigme, de préciser le sémantisme et le fonctionnement de ces marqueurs en relation avec le contexte d'énonciation et éventuellement les données sociologiques concernant les locuteurs. Enfin, cette étude attire l'attention sur le fait que des bad data tels que les textes écrits (dialogues et textes dramatiques), se révèlent utiles pour étudier les marqueurs discursifs, car ce genre d'enquête jette une nouvelle lumière sur certaines obscurités ou ambiguïtés du moyen français et du français préclassique.
description:  In this article I propose a diachronic approach regarding a group of discursive markers based on enda (anenda, manenda, par manda, etc.), which were used during a short period of time (from the end of the 15th century to the middle of the 17th century) and have disappeared in Modern French. This survey traces the formation and diachronic development of this group of markers and focuses on their function and semantic values in relation to the context of utterance and the sociological data concerning the speakers. Finally, this article draws attention to the fact that 'bad data', such as written texts (dialogues and drama), prove to be very useful when studying discourse markers, and that this kind of inquiry helps to cast new light on the semantics of some ambiguous or obscure elements of early modern French language.

description: The standard analysis of inflation relies on the fine-tuned initial condition of a homogeneous patch. Besides the improbability of such an initial condition, homogeneity should ultimately be a consequence of inflation and not its cause. To resolve this “initial patch problem”, this thesis will discuss how inflationary expansion can arise in 2+1D and 3+1D cosmologies with arbitrarily large inhomogeneities, by leveraging a tool from geometric analysis known as mean-curvature flow. It will also propose future directions for studying the onset of inflation under inhomogeneities and possible applications of mean-curvature flow to holography.

description: Cet article est consacré au marqueur discursif voilà et plus particulièrement à sa variante avec réduplication voilà voilà, dont on relève les premiers emplois dans le français du 19e  siècle. En s'appuyant sur les occurrences que comporte le corpus Frantext (19e
 - 20e  siècles), il décrit les différents contextes qui sont favorables à une réduplication de voilà et vise à analyser les propriétés sémantiques et pragmatiques de ce marqueur discursif. En comparant les valeurs pragmatiques de voilà voilà avec celles de voilà, l'étude met en évidence que la réduplication du marqueur discursif ne va pas toujours de pair avec une progression dans le processus de pragmaticalisation.

description:  This paper deals with the discourse marker voilà, especially with its reduplicated variant voilà voilà, which first appeared in 19th century French. Examining utterances from the 19th and 20th century contained in the Frantext corpus, it describes the different contexts in which voilà may be reduplicated and analyzes the semantic and pragmatic properties of this discourse marker. Comparing the pragmatic values of voilà voilà to those of voilà, the study emphasizes that reduplication of the discourse marker does not always lead to a higher degree of pragmaticalization

A small cosmological constant due to non-perturbative quantum effects

description: We propose that the expectation value of the stress energy tensor of the Standard Model should be given by $< T_{μν} > = ρ_\vac η_{μν}$, with a vacuum energy $ρ_\vac$ that differs from the usual "dimensional analysis" result by an exponentially small factor associated with non-perturbative effects. We substantiate our proposal by a rigorous analysis of a toy model, namely the 2-dimensional Gross-Neveu model. In particular, we address, within this model, the key question of the renormalization ambiguities affecting the calculation. The stress energy operator is constructed concretely via the operator-product-expansion. The non-perturbative factor in the vacuum energy is seen as a consequence of the facts that a) the OPE-coefficients have an analytic dependence on $g$, b) the vacuum correlations have a non-analytic (=non-perturbative) dependence on $g$, which we propose to be a generic feature of QFT. Extrapolating our result from the Gross-Neveu model to the Standard Model, one would expect to find $ρ_\vac ~ Λ^4 \e^{-O(1)/g^2}$, where $Λ$ is an energy scale such as $Λ= M_{H}$, and $g$ is a gauge coupling such as $g^2/4π= α_{EW}$. The exponentially small factor due to non-perturbative effects could explain the "unnatural" smallness of this quantity.

Antitrust Law and Catastrophic Risk: Tension, Perspectives, and Reform

description: Coordination among international companies has the potential to meaningfully assist in reducing the likelihood and severity of global catastrophic risks. Risk-reducing initiatives might include companies mutually agreeing to reduce their carbon footprint, ensure that advanced AI systems are safe and robust before deployment, or preventing malicious actors from using advances in biotechnology to create novel bioweapons. However, current antitrust law jurisprudence is hostile to these efforts. Current antitrust law categorically rejects the notion that competition can ever be harmful, for example by pressuring companies to cut corners and increase risks, instead focusing on protecting a dangerously narrow conception of consumer welfare. In this paper, I dissect this tension, trace the evolution of relevant law, apply that law in the context of existing proposals to reduce global catastrophic risks, and propose reform through a narrowly tailored statutory exemption for certain forms of corporate coordination.
title:  Innovation and Productivity of Italian Firms: Evidence and Policy
Creators: name: Biancalani, Francesco
Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Year: 2018

description: This work is a collection of three essays about innovation and productivity of Italian firms. In the first chapter, we show that the historical North-South gap of the country has a relationship with firm-level productivity, which are more heterogeneous in the South than in the North. We find that new and more productive firms systematically self-select in the NUTS 3-digit locations where more productive firms are already present, even after controlling for agglomeration economies, and other classical determinants of firm location. The second essay analyzes how knowledge spillovers can influence firm productivity. As compared to the previous literature in which spatial econometric models are used to investigate local geographical spillovers, we consider interfirm relationships. In particular, we focus our attention on the network of interlocking directorates. We find that a spatial model which includes interlocking directorates as well as distance performs better than traditional models of localized knowledge spillovers. We find that interlocking directorates play a crucial role for knowledge spillovers in science-based industries. The third chapter studies the impact of Italian Law 221/2012 (i.e. "Startup Act"), which provides benefits for innovative, small, and young companies, in the aftermath of the Great Recession. We find that the Startup Act has met its main goals. In particular, we find that the positive effects on value-added and productivity continue even after the treatment period.
Exploring Associative Memory Performance of Confocal Cavity QED Network

description: Driven-dissipative systems have emerged as featured models of study between the domains of physics, mathematics, and computer science, notably atomic molecular and optical (AMO) physics and quantum information. The ability of these systems to interact with their external environment heralds applications in quantum computing, quantum communication, metrology, and sensing via phenomena such as natural error correction. We explore a candidate experimental framework for achieving driven-dissipative computation in the form of an associative memory, a neural network capable of pattern storage and recollection. This platform is realized by a confocal cavity QED apparatus, where the modes of this optical cavity behave as synapses, mediating interactions between a network of spinful bosonic ensembles which function as neurons. In this thesis we investigate the capabilities of this multimode cavity system to perform memory retrieval where the intracavity spin relaxation dynamics are modeled according to a mean-field treatment. We confirm (from previous works by Marsh et. all) that the system minimizes energy according to deterministic steepest descent dynamics instead of Glauber dynamics, in concert with previous results which do not utilize a mean field approach. Furthermore, these dynamics were predicted to occur at faster timescales than the previous non mean-field treatment. We also explore the efficiency of memory recollection over expanded ranges of input errors when the system is subjected to auxiliary longitudinal fields.  We observed that these longitudinal fields performed state preparation effectively, and provided a slight improvement in memory recall contingent upon the appropriate tuning.
Structural response of iron oxides to irradiation

subject: Swift heavy ion irradiation

description: Iron oxides are ubiquitous in Earth and planetary systems and can display a variety of structures and stoichiometries. Iron oxides have several industrial applications, some of which function more efficiently when they are irradiated. One form of irradiation, swift heavy ion (SHI) irradiation, deposits large amounts of energy (> 1 MeV/u) into nano- to micrometer scale volumes. The energy is dissipated by electronic excitation along a trajectory that leaves behind tracks of damage that are several nanometers in diameter and tens of micrometers in length. Understanding the physics of ion track formation and annealing has improved our understanding of fission-track age dating and thermochronology. This work presents the effects of iron oxides’ structure and stoichiometry on their radiation stability.  
Two iron oxides, hematite (α- Fe2O3, R-3c) and magnetite (Fe3O4, 𝐹𝑑-3𝑚), were irradiated with 1.7 GeV Au26+ ions at eight fluences ranging from 1011-1013 ions/cm2 at the GSI Accelerator Facility (Darmstadt, Germany). X-ray diffraction measurements showed that both iron oxides accumulate strain upon irradiation and that hematite undergoes partial phase transformation to magnetite. Fe K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements showed disordering of the nearest neighbors around the Fe cation, along with partial reduction of Fe in both irradiated materials.

description: We analyze the force-extension curve for a general class of systems, which are described at the mesoscopic level by a free energy depending on the extension of its components. Similarly to what is done in real experiments, the total length of the system is the controlled parameter. This imposes a global constraint in the minimization procedure leading to the equilibrium values of the extensions. As a consequence, the force-extension curve has multiple branches in a certain range of forces. The stability of these branches is governed by the free energy: there are a series of first-order phase transitions at certain values of the total length, in which the free energy itself is continuous but its first derivative, the force, has a finite jump. This behavior is completely similar to the one observed in real experiments with biomolecules like proteins, and other complex systems.

description: A Cooper pair insulator (CPI) phase emerges near the superconductor-insulator transitions of a number of strongly-disordered thin film systems. Much recent study has focused on a mechanism driving the underlying Cooper pair localization. We present data showing that a CPI phase develops in amorphous Pb$_{0.9}$Bi$_{0.1}$ films deposited onto nano-porous anodized aluminum oxide surfaces just as it has been shown to develop for a-Bi films. This result confirms the assertion that the CPI phase emerges due to the structure of the substrate. It supports the picture that nanoscale film thickness variations induced by the substrate drive the localization. Moreover, it implies that the CPI phase can be induced in any superconducting material that can be deposited onto this surface.

In spite of these areas of improvement, charter schooling in Stockton has been successful at fostering community among students. It is important to work on these areas improvement, especially as charter schools become increasingly prominent choices fro secondary education.

description: I study vector solitons involving two incoherently-coupled field components in periodic PT-symmetric optical lattices. The specific symmetry of the lattice imposes the restrictions on the symmetry of available vector soliton states. While all configurations with asymmetric intensity distributions are prohibited, such lattices support multi-hump solitons with equal number of "in-phase" or "out-of-phase" spots in two components, residing on neighboring lattice channels. In the focusing medium only the solitons containing out-of-phase spots in at least one component can be stable, while in the defocusing medium stability is achieved for structures consisting of in-phase spots. Mixed-gap vector solitons with components emerging from different gaps in the lattice spectrum also exist and can be stable in the PT-symmetric lattice.

description: Multiple phases occurring in a Bose gas with finite-range interaction are investigated. In the vicinity of the onset of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) the chemical potential and the pressure show a van-der-Waals like behavior indicating a first-order phase transition although there is no long-range attraction. Furthermore the equation of state becomes multivalued near the BEC transition. For a Hartree-Fock or Popov (Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov) approximation such a multivalued region can be avoided by the Maxwell construction. For sufficiently weak interaction the multivalued region can also be removed using a many-body \mbox{T-matrix} approximation. However, for strong interactions there remains a multivalued region even for the \mbox{T-matrix} approximation and after the Maxwell construction, what is interpreted as a density hysteresis. This unified treatment of normal and condensed phases becomes possible due to the recently found scheme to eliminate self-interaction in the \mbox{T-matrix} approximation, which allows to calculate properties below and above the critical temperature.

vaccinated; knowledge of the types of healthcare personnel who are vaccine hesitant will help
our public health system better address gaps in HCP vaccine coverage. I analyzed surveys from
over 15,000 hospital-based HCP from Stanford Healthcare in December 2020 to understand
employee intentions with respect to COVID-19 vaccination. I found that female healthcare
workers, Black / African American healthcare workers, and younger healthcare workers were
more likely to delay or refuse the vaccine. HCP from counties of high social vulnerability and
HCP that interface less with patients also showed higher rates of vaccine hesitancy and higher
rates of changing their minds about getting vaccinated. Furthermore, vaccine newness and fear of
side effects were the most cited reasons for vaccine hesitancy. Healthcare workers in sub-groups
with high rates of vaccine hesitancy should be specially considered in the design of future
vaccination campaigns for hospital workers.

description: In March 2020, a photo of two elementary-aged girls working alone outside of a Taco Bell in Salinas, California went viral. The girls used the franchise location’s wi-fi to complete their online schooling, as a result of initial stay-at-home orders, because they did not have internet access at home. In response, the youth of Salinas rallied around them, collecting funds to provide for the girls’ internet and those of other children in similar situations. After several weeks of coverage by the media, both locally and nationally, and push from local youth who were consistently and constantly representing this clear inequality in access to basic technology at community meetings, the issue was brought up to Salinas’ school board members who created a network of hotspots in safe areas around the city for students in need to use when needed.
This honors thesis analyzes the work of Salinas youth activism during quarantine and the immediate aftermath through the lens of critical consciousness and collective action to understand the drivers pushing youth to engage in change-making collective action in an era of tremendous upheaval, uncertainty, and marginalization. Additionally, I show how youth’s formation of their critical analysis informed their demands and strategies. Drawing on 12 interviews with youth and an extended community ethnography of La Cosecha, a high school youth organizing group in Salinas, I found that youth’s activism was informed by critique engendered by participation in activism. Furthermore, I illustrate how various factors: quarantine shifts, adult actions, and group practices greatly impacted the capacity of youth to engage in collective action for change. This study contributes to the literature on the origins of motivation and hope within youth activists, as well as which organizational structures facilitate or impede youth activism.

description: We present a comprehensive analysis of z>8 galaxies based on ultra-deep WFC3/IR data. We constrain the evolution of the UV luminosity function (LF) and luminosity densities from z~11 to z~8 by exploiting all the WFC3/IR data over the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field from the HUDF09 and the new HUDF12 program, in addition to the HUDF09 parallel field data, as well as wider area WFC3/IR imaging over GOODS-South. Galaxies are selected based on the Lyman Break Technique in three samples centered around z~9, z~10 and z~11, with seven z~9 galaxy candidates, and one each at z~10 and z~11. We confirm a new z~10 candidate (with z=9.8+-0.6) that was not convincingly identified in our first z~10 sample. The deeper data over the HUDF confirms all our previous z>~7.5 candidates as genuine high-redshift candidates, and extends our samples to higher redshift and fainter limits (H_160~29.8 mag). We perform one of the first estimates of the z~9 UV LF and improve our previous constraints at z~10. Extrapolating the lower redshift UV LF evolution should have revealed 17 z~9 and 9 z~10 sources, i.e., a factor ~3x and 9x larger than observed. The inferred star-formation rate density (SFRD) in galaxies above 0.7 M_sun/yr decreases by 0.6+-0.2 dex from z~8 to z~9, in good agreement with previous estimates. The low number of sources found at z>8 is consistent with a very rapid build-up of galaxies across z~10 to z~8. From a combination of all current measurements, we find a best estimate of a factor 10x decrease in the SFRD from z~8 to z~10, following (1+z)^(-11.4+-3.1). Our measurements thus confirm our previous finding of an accelerated evolution beyond z~8, and signify a rapid build-up of galaxies with M_UV

Lighthouse: Combatting Disinformation On Encrypted Messaging Services

subject: Encrypted Messaging Services

description: With the advent of social media as a crucial news source for the average smartphone owner, the spread of disinformation, and curated fake news, as a tool for political propaganda on encrypted messaging services is becoming an expanding threat to the public’s perception of news and journalis- tic accuracy. While several systems are in place to detect fake news on public networking platforms, the availability of encrypted messaging has made disinformation notoriously easy to disseminate but challenging to detect in the quest to alert users of fallacious information. Based on previous research that found that increasing awareness of fake news can noticeably reduce its spread, we designed Lighthouse, a standalone application that makes use of notifications from WhatsApp to detect links that have been professionally flagged as disinformation, and alerts users to potentially spurious news articles that have been sent to them. Lighthouse uses the NewsGuard disinformation database as a truth source with the intention of increasing accuracy awareness in the context of fake news as a method to fight the further spread of disinformation. The current implementation of the app serves as a starting point for the further study of disinformation dissemination and intervention methods aimed at addressing curated fake news on platforms protected by end-to-end encryption. It was used by 10 university students over one-week periods to test for database relevance and was found to positively influence the ability to identify disinformation and demonstrated the potential to alter sharing habits.

Long-range spin current driven by superconducting phase difference in a Josephson junction with double layer ferromagnets

description: We theoretically study spin current through ferromagnet (F) in a Josephson junction composed of s-wave superconductors and two layers of ferromagnets. Using quasiclassical theory, we show that the long-range spin current can be driven by the superconducting phase difference without voltage drop. The origin of this spin current is due to spin-triplet Cooper pairs (STCs) formed by electrons of equal-spin, which are induced by proximity effect inside the F. We find that the spin current carried by the STCs exhibits long-range propagation in the F even where the Josephson charge current is practically zero. We also show that this spin current persists over a remarkably longer distance than the ordinary spin current carried by spin polarized conduction electrons in the F. Our results thus indicate the promising potential of Josephson junctions based on multilayer ferromagnets for spintronics applications with long-range propagating spin current.

description: This case study explores the use of structured lesson guides designed to support teaching by Grade 5 mathematics teachers in a rural district of Uganda. Focus groups and interviews revealed that teachers perceived them as a useful professional development tool, and lesson observations found that student engagement increased. In line with the Theory of Professional Development and Teacher Change, (Guskey, 1986) participant teachers adopted new practices after observing the lesson guide’s impact on students. Recommendations are made to incorporate pedagogical content knowledge to support the delivery of the curriculum in a comprehensible way to students.

The Impact of Hispanic Ethnicity on Vote Choice

description: Although research has explored how racial prejudice against African Americans influences vote choice, little research has investigated how prejudices against Hispanics might impact voters’ decisions. This paper explores how a candidate’s Hispanic ethnicity influences vote choice and how various factors might moderate that influence. In an experiment embedded in an online survey, a large sample of American adults read about the policy positions of two hypothetical candidates running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Some respondents were offered a choice between two White candidates, while others chose between one White and one Hispanic candidate. Some respondents read the candidates’ positions on eight policy issues, while others read positions for only four issues. The results suggest that people who hold anti-Hispanic attitudes or know little about candidates’ positions on issues are less likely to vote for Hispanic candidates. Additionally, a ballot order effect – where voters support the candidate listed first on the ballot – was only observed among respondents offered a choice between two White candidates. This is among the first evidence demonstrating that candidate Hispanic ethnicity shapes vote choice in low-information elections.
