title: Managing Partnerships for Online Learning: An Institutional Work Perspective
Creators: name: Spies, Maria
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: Online education is increasingly important to universities with continued pressure for new forms of revenue, ambitions to service more diverse learners and meet the expectations of students. Accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, many institutions have implemented online programs, with a growing number doing so in partnership with an Online Program Management (OPM) provider. However, little is known about how these partnerships operate on the ground, the impact on universities, or how these arrangements might evolve over time. This exploratory qualitative study examines the day-to-day work of academic leaders with responsibility for university-OPM partnerships. The research sought to develop a clearer understanding of how academic leaders influence the provision of online learning at their institution, and how partnerships might evolve over time. Data was collected through semi- structured interviews with 15 academic leaders. Institutional work forms the theoretical basis for this study, offering scope for explanations of the flows of influence between daily practices of academic leaders, organizational change, and field level influences, with consideration for organizational boundaries and new institutional arrangements for online learning. The study found that academic leaders engage extensively in varied forms of institutional work related to online learning and OPM partnerships, focused on ‘creating’ and ‘maintaining’ institutions and identified new forms of institutional work related to monitoring the external environment, enacting new ways of operating and corralling stakeholders toward endorsed models. The research outlines online capabilities being built at universities and offers insights into how university-OPM partnerships are evolving over time. Findings suggest that academic leaders exercise practical and projective agency regarding their institutions’ immediate and long- term arrangements for online learning and are central to the development of university partnering capability. The knowledge gained from this study is expected to further stakeholders’ understanding of how organizational change related to online learning and university-OPM partnerships happens over time, using institutional theory to highlight the mechanisms by which new practices and norms may become embedded and institutionalized, a topic that remains relatively unexplored, but is of increasing importance for universities.

description: We consider the quantum vacuum effects of the massless scalar fields that are non-minimally coupled to the background geometry of a collapsing homogeneous ball of dust. It is shown that for a definite range of coupling constants, there are repulsive quantum vacuum effects, capable of stopping the collapse process inside the black hole and precluding the formation of singularity. The final fate of the collapse will be a black hole with no singularity, inside which the matter stays balanced. The density of the final static matter will be close to the Planck density. We show that the largest possible radius of the stable static ball inside a black hole with Schwarzschild mass $M$ is given by ${{\left( \frac{1}{90π}\frac{M}{{{m}_{p}}} \right)}^{\frac{1}{3}}}{{\ell }_{p}}$. If the black hole undergoes Hawking radiation, the final state will be an extremal quantum-corrected black hole, with zero temperature, with a remnant of matter inside. We show that the resolution of singularity is not disrupted under Hawking radiation.

description: Modifications of the cytoskeleton play an important role for male germ cell differentiation (spermatogenesis). In this study, a potential correlation of the expression of CBE1 to male germ cell differentiation and fertility was investigated in mice and men. As CBE1 was largely unknown, additional investigations in regards to the molecular function were performed. CBE1 was shown to play a potential role in cytoskeletal organisation and transport mechanisms, cytokinesis and cellular metabolism.

description: As an improvement of camera-based systems for depth maps analyzing [1], a new hybrid system, named FRSystem, based on fuzzy [2] and rough sets [3], has been developed [4]. It should be taken into account that in systems based on sensors, various types of disturbances may occur caused, for example, by power failure, battery depletion, or temporary damage. Due to the fact that FRSystem, created in cooperation with the Elderly Care Home in Rzeszow, is dedicated to elderly monitoring, it is desirable to extend it by the possibility to mine incomplete data.

description: We study the endowment effect and expectation-based reference points in the field leveraging the setup of the Socio-Economic Panel. Households receive a small item for taking part in the panel, and we randomly assign respondents either a towel or a notebook, which they can exchange at the end of the interview. We observe a trading rate of 32 percent, consistent with an endowment effect, but no relationship with loss aversion. Manipulating expectations of the exchange opportunity, we find no support for expectation-based reference points. However, trading predicts residential mobility and is related to stock-market participation, i.e., economic decisions that entail parting with existing resources.

description: Approximate message passing (AMP) refers to a class of efficient algorithms for statistical estimation in high-dimensional problems such as compressed sensing and low-rank matrix estimation. This paper analyzes the performance of AMP in the regime where the problem dimension is large but finite. For concreteness, we consider the setting of high-dimensional regression, where the goal is to estimate a high-dimensional vector $β_0$ from a noisy measurement $y=A β_0 + w$. AMP is a low-complexity, scalable algorithm for this problem. Under suitable assumptions on the measurement matrix $A$, AMP has the attractive feature that its performance can be accurately characterized in the large system limit by a simple scalar iteration called state evolution. Previous proofs of the validity of state evolution have all been asymptotic convergence results. In this paper, we derive a concentration inequality for AMP with i.i.d. Gaussian measurement matrices with finite size $n \times N$. The result shows that the probability of deviation from the state evolution prediction falls exponentially in $n$. This provides theoretical support for empirical findings that have demonstrated excellent agreement of AMP performance with state evolution predictions for moderately large dimensions. The concentration inequality also indicates that the number of AMP iterations $t$ can grow no faster than order $\frac{\log n}{\log \log n}$ for the performance to be close to the state evolution predictions with high probability. The analysis can be extended to obtain similar non-asymptotic results for AMP in other settings such as low-rank matrix estimation.

description: Law libraries host the entire repository of knowledge resources in the field of jurisprudence and law that governs our society and social behavior. It combines the academic and practical contributions of legal luminaries, scholars, lawyers, professionals, researchers, and students of legal studies across generations and time. Also, over the years, library resources in legal studies have undergone a transformation from being collected in hardbound volumes and loose-leaf forms to digital forms, aided by the advancements in Information Communication Technology. Today, the huge collection of resources, both in a variety of volumes is quite dynamically building and supporting research platforms, which is being vastly facilitated by the rise of the internet. Even, the primary legal documentation is quite easily possible, with just the click of a button or mouse. While the physical footprint of the library may have become smaller as a result of this transition, the amount of legal information that researchers have access to has grown exponentially. We now have more sophisticated tools for making use of this vast ocean of digital information. Along with the application of modern tools, the services offered by law librarians have also evolved as dynamic and user-friendly. In this research work, the major focus is to review the current trends in various Law Libraries, with a special focus on undertaking a comprehensive case study on the Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University Library.

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: In this paper, we consider the one-dimensional semirelativistic Schrödinger equation for a particle interacting with $N$ Dirac delta potentials. Using the heat kernel techniques, we establish a resolvent formula in terms of an $N \times N$ matrix, called the principal matrix. This matrix essentially includes all the information about the spectrum of the problem. We study the bound state spectrum by working out the eigenvalues of the principal matrix. With the help of the Feynman-Hellmann theorem, we analyze how the bound state energies change with respect to the parameters in the model. We also prove that there are at most $N$ bound states and explicitly derive the bound state wave function. The bound state problem for the two-center case is particularly investigated. We show that the ground state energy is bounded below, and there exists a self-adjoint Hamiltonian associated with the resolvent formula. Moreover, we prove that the ground state is nondegenerate. The scattering problem for $N$ centers is analyzed by exactly solving the semirelativistic Lippmann-Schwinger equation. The reflection and the transmission coefficients are numerically and asymptotically computed for the two-center case. We observe the so-called threshold anomaly for two symmetrically located centers. The semirelativistic version of the Kronig-Penney model is shortly discussed, and the band gap structure of the spectrum is illustrated. The bound state and scattering problems in the massless case are also discussed. Furthermore, the reflection and the transmission coefficients for the two delta potentials in this particular case are analytically found. Finally, we solve the renormalization group equations and compute the beta function nonperturbatively.

description: Using bank customer churn data, we demonstrate the explanatory and predictive capacity of monotonic decision rules. Since the data are partially ordinal, they are structured by a new version of the Variable Consistency Dominance-based Rough Set Approach before the induction of monotonic decision rules. The induced rules characterize loyal customers and the ones who left the bank. Such an approach is in line with explainable AI, aiming to obtain a transparent and understandable decision model. In the course of a computational experiment, we compare the predictive performance of monotonic rules with several well-known machine learning models.

description: Complex systems are composed of mutually interacting components and the output values of these components are usually long-range cross-correlated. We propose a method to characterize the joint multifractal nature of such long-range cross correlations based on wavelet analysis, termed multifractal cross wavelet analysis (MFXWT). We assess the performance of the MFXWT method by performing extensive numerical experiments on the dual binomial measures with multifractal cross correlations and the bivariate fractional Brownian motions (bFBMs) with monofractal cross correlations. For binomial multifractal measures, the empirical joint multifractality of MFXWT is found to be in approximate agreement with the theoretical formula. For bFBMs, MFXWT may provide spurious multifractality because of the wide spanning range of the multifractal spectrum. We also apply the MFXWT method to stock market indexes and uncover intriguing joint multifractal nature in pairs of index returns and volatilities.

We prove a rigidity result for almost-complex manifolds, generalising Hattori's results, and an analogue of Petrie's conjecture. When G is an almost-connected Lie group or a discrete group, we establish Poincare duality between G-equivariant K-homology and K-theory, observing that Poincare duality does not necessarily hold for general G.

description: This thesis describes the isolation and physiological characterization of extremophilic microalgal strains that grow rapidly under high temperatures and elevated levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO) that are present in industrial flue gases. These algae are capable of accumulating high levels of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins, depending upon the strain and environmental conditions. Such characteristics make these strains promising candidates for CO2 sequestration from flue gases. The harvested biomass can be utilised as a source of protein for animal feeds, and for various other biotechnological purposes.

description: In dieser Arbeit wird ein neues Gütekriterium für den Vergleich verschiedener nichtparametrischer Regressionsmethoden erarbeitet. Die nichtparametrische Regression befasst sich damit, aus gegebenen Daten eine Signalfunktion zu schätzen. Zur Gegenüberstellung verschiedener Regressionsverfahren werden häufig Simulationsstudien durchgeführt, in denen die Verfahren auf Daten angewandt werden, deren zugrundeliegende Signalfunktion bekannt ist. Der Vergleich mehrerer Schätzfunktionen basiert auf Gütekriterien, wobei zumeist Lp-Normen verwendet werden. Dabei besteht eine Diskrepanz zwischen dem, was diese Normen messen, und der visuellen Beurteilung durch einen Betrachter, da die Normen nur den vertikalen Abstand von Signal- und Schätzfunktion verwenden. Ein Betrachter kann beispielsweise falsch geschätzte Extremwerte visuell sofort erfassen und zieht sie automatisch zur Bewertung der Schätzfunktion heran. Insbesondere für Anwendungen, bei denen das korrekte Identifizieren von Extremwerten von hoher Bedeutung ist, führen klassische Gütekriterien wie die Lp -Normen zu Fehleinschätzungen bezüglich der Eignung von Regressionsverfahren. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird daher ein gänzlich neues Gütemaß für die Beurteilung der Anpassung an Signalfunktionen vorgeschlagen. Der neue Extremstellenverlust bewertet die korrekte Identifizierung von Extrema. Für eine Schätzfunktion wird dafür zunächst überprüft, ob ihre Extremstellen mit denen der Signalfunktion übereinstimmen. Daraufhin wird das Fehlverhalten zu viel und zu wenig geschätzter Extremstellen in einem normierten Verlust zusammengefasst. Damit formalisiert das neue Kriterium die visuelle Beurteilung durch einen Betrachter und ist geeignet, die Güte einer Regressionsmethode bezüglich ihrer Extremwerte in einem Verlustwert zu erfassen.

description: We propose a simple ansatz for estimating the value of the numerical resistivity and the numerical viscosity of any Eulerian MHD code. We test this ansatz with the help of simulations of the propagation of (magneto)sonic waves, Alfven waves, and the tearing mode instability using the MHD code Aenus. By comparing the simu- lation results with analytical solutions of the resistive-viscous MHD equations and an empirical ansatz for the growth rate of tearing modes we measure the numerical viscosity and resistivity of Aenus. The comparison shows that the fast-magnetosonic speed and wavelength are the characteristic velocity and length, respectively, of the aforementioned (relatively simple) systems. We also determine the dependance of the numerical viscosity and resistivity on the time integration method, the spatial reconstruction scheme and (to a lesser extent) the Riemann solver employed in the simulations. From the measured results we infer the numerical resolution (as a function of the spatial reconstruction method) required to properly resolve the growth and saturation level of the magnetic field amplified by the magnetorotational instability in the post-collapsed core of massive stars. Our results show that it is to the best advantage to resort to ultra-high order methods (e.g., 9th-order Monotonicity Preserving method) to tackle this problem properly, in particular in three dimensional simulations.

description: In the MAGIC and FACT experiments, random forests are usually used for a classification of a gamma ray signal and hadronic background. Random forests use a set of tree classifiers and aggregate the single decisions of the trees into one overall decision. In this work a method to choose an optimal threshold value for the random forest classification is introduced. The method is based on the minimization of the MSE of an estimator for the number of gamma particles in the data set. In a second step, new variables for the classification are introduced in this work. The idea of these variables is to fit bivariate distributions to images recorded by the two telescopes and using distance measures for densities to calculate the distance between the observed and fitted distributions. With a reasonable choice of distributions to fit, it can be expected that such distances are smaller for gamma observations than for the hadronic background. In a third step, the new threshold optimization and the new variable construction are combined and compared to the methods currently in use. It can be seen that the new methods lead to substantial improvements of the classification with regard to the aim of the analysis.

description: Let $S$ be a smooth cubic surface over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$. It is known that $\#S(\mathbb F_q) = 1 + aq + q^2$ for some $a \in \{-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,7\}$. Serre has asked which values of a can arise for a given $q$. Building on special cases treated by Swinnerton-Dyer, we give a complete answer to this question. We also answer the analogous question for other del Pezzo surfaces, and consider the inverse Galois problem for del Pezzo surfaces over finite fields. Finally we give a corrected version of Manin's and Swinnerton-Dyer's tables on cubic surfaces over finite fields.

description: Excerpts from the Preface: This bibliography is the result of a selective examination of book and periodical literature published between 1920 and 1950, on the forests of Mexico, Central America, and South America. It is a guide to background information for anyone interested in the standing timber resource and its utilization, in these lands below our Mexican border. The listing of references is subdivided by country. Due to the large number of entries collected under the General heading, and for Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, these four divisions again are subdivided, segregating references on vegetation and timber description from forest policy and forest industry material. A short list of periodicals publishing Latin-American forestry information follows the main body of the bibliography. This, in turn, is followed by the index, a subject guide to general and geographic sections.

description: Let $G$ be a claw-free graph on $n$ vertices with clique number $ω$, and consider the chromatic number $χ(G^2)$ of the square $G^2$ of $G$. Writing $χ'_s(d)$ for the supremum of $χ(L^2)$ over the line graphs $L$ of simple graphs of maximum degree at most $d$, we prove that $χ(G^2)\le χ'_s(ω)$ for $ω\in \{3,4\}$. For $ω=3$, this implies the sharp bound $χ(G^2) \leq 10$. For $ω=4$, this implies $χ(G^2)\leq 22$, which is within $2$ of the conjectured best bound. This work is motivated by a strengthened form of a conjecture of Erdős and Nešetřil.

description: Using spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory we demonstrate the occurrence of a novel type of noncollinear spin structure in Rh/Fe atomic bilayers on Ir(111). We find that higher-order exchange interactions depend sensitively on the stacking sequence. For fcc-Rh/Fe/Ir(111) frustrated exchange interactions are dominant and lead to the formation of a spin spiral ground state with a period of about 1.5 nm. For hcp-Rh/Fe/Ir(111) higher-order exchange interactions favor a double-row wise antiferromagnetic or "uudd" state. However, the Dzyaloshinskii- Moriya interaction at the Fe/Ir interface leads to a small angle of about 4° between adjacent magnetic moments resulting in a canted "uudd" ground state.

description: We report a study of the structural and magnetic behavior of the topmost magnetic layer in a ferromagnet-nonmagnet (Co-Au) multilayer system. Glancing angle X-ray diffraction measurements performed on a series of multilayers showed a gradually increasing degree of amorphization of the topmost magnetic layer with increasing number of bilayers. Concurrently, the magnetic hardness and magneto-crystalline anisotropy of the top Co layer were found to decrease, as observed by magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements. This magnetic softening has been discussed in the light of Herzer's random anisotropy model. Micromagnetic simulations of the multilayer system also corroborated these observations.
