description: Abstract: Prevention of deviant behavior among adolescents is an urgent task of modern society. In this research, we considered deviant behavior in adolescents as a display of their anxiety, as an answer to the influence of the world around them on their values and life meaning. The goal of the research is to study the characteristic features of life-meaning and value orientations of adolescents inclined to deviant behavior. The sample involved 62 secondary school students aged 15-17 years, divided into 2 equal groups with/without inclination to deviant behavior. The research hypothesis: adolescents would differ in the structure of value orientations and leading life meanings depending on the level of their inclination to deviant behavior. The theoretical and methodological base comprises approaches examining parent-child relationships, theories of forming and developing life-meaning sphere and value sphere of a person, and concepts of deviant behavior. The empirical part of the study includes methods of questioning, testing (“Inclination to deviant behavior” Test [A.N. Orel]; “Rokeach Value Survey”; “Investigation of the system of life meanings” [V.S. Kotlyakov]) and statistical data processing. Results and discussion: 1. Adolescents more inclined to deviant behavior demonstrate a preference for life meanings reflecting their desire to discover life in different ways, to explore contradictions of the world around, to realize the need to express their abilities in a demonstrative way. These reveal themselves against the background of a decrease in interpersonal communication with peers and adults. 2. Adolescents less inclined to deviant behavior show a preference for life meanings which reflect their striving to enjoy life, get positive emotions, avoid stressful situations, pay attention to the causes of current developments, and to help 54 others. Conclusion: the differentiation of adolescents in their lifestyle (a striving for a comfortable life versus for education) can be used as a foundation for social-psychological work.

description: We study a one-dimensional system composed of three charged bosons confined in an external harmonic potential. More precisely, we investigate the ground-state correlation properties of the system, paying particular attention to the strong-interaction limit. We explain for the first time the nature of the degeneracies appearing in this limit in the spectrum of the reduced density matrix. An explicit representation of the asymptotic natural orbitals and their occupancies is given in terms of some integral equations.

description: We study the regular or chaotic nature of motion in a disk galaxy with a dense nucleus and an asymmetric dark halo. Two cases, the 2D model and the 3D model, are investigated. In the 2D model, a considerable fraction of the phase plane is covered by chaotic orbits. Two factors seem to be responsible for the chaotic motion: (i) the dense nucleus and (ii) the asymmetries in the dark halo. Our numerical experiments suggest, that there are several chaotic components on the Poincare phase plane. Different chaotic components are induced by the asymmetries in the halo. Each chaotic component seems to have a different value of the Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent, for small values of the asymmetry parameter and a unique LCE for larger values of the asymmetry parameter. A comparison of the present results with outcomes from previous work is also presented.

Strain evolution during hot tearing in aluminium alloys
Creators: name: Mitchell, Jason Brian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Hot tearing refers to cracks that frequently occur within the mushy zone during cooling from the liquid to solid state during shape and ingot casting. Both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys may be affected, and there is some evidence to suggest those with long freezing ranges are more susceptible. Due to the nature of this defect the economic impact is often significant and can result in an immediate productivity loss. It is therefore important for industry to be able to better predict the susceptibility of various alloys to hot tearing. Various theories have been proposed and several different types of experimental methods have been developed to interpret the properties of alloys in the semi-solid state. However, many of these techniques do not produce good quantitative data (i.e. strain) that can be used to calibrate a thermal-mechanical computer simulation of casting. Existing experimental methods often measure strain indirectly by means of a load train frozen into the end of the casting. However, local strain at the hot tear initiation site would be more valuable for computer model calibration. Clearly, the use of traditional measurement techniques, such as strain gauges, is not a viable option and therefore an alternative was investigated. In this work the use of digital image correlation to determine the evolution of strain and strain at the onset of localisation resulting in a hot tear has been evaluated. Data has been determined for aluminium alloys AA6111, AA3104, CA32118, Al-0.5% wt pct Cu under slow cooling conditions and AA3003 under directional solidification using a water cooled copper chill. A new hot tearing experiment has been developed which localises strain to promote hot tearing to occur in only one region of the casting and is cooled by directional solidification. Images of this region were captured during solidification via a glass window embedded in the mould of the experiment. These images were correlated with each other to determine strain accumulated during hot tearing using 3rd party commercial digital image correlation software.

description: We develop a one-dimensional theoretical model for thermals burning in Type Ia supernovae based on the entrainment assumption of Morton, Taylor and Turner. Extensions of the standard model are required to account for the burning and for the expansion of the thermal due to changes in the background stratification found in the full star. The model is compared with high-resolution three-dimensional numerical simulations, both in a uniform environment, and in a full-star setting. The simulations in a uniform environment present compelling agreement with the predicted power-laws and provide model constants for the full-star model, which then provides excellent agreement with the full-star simulation. The importance of the different components in the model are compared, and are all shown to be relevant. An examination of the effect of initial conditions was then conducted using the one-dimensional model, which would have been infeasible in three dimensions. More mass was burned when the ignition kernel was larger and closer to the center of the star. The turbulent flame speed was found to be important during the early-time evolution of the thermal, but played a diminished role at later times when the evolution is dominated by the large-scale hydrodynamics responsible for entrainment. However, a higher flame speed effectively gave a larger initial ignition kernel and so resulted in more mass burned. This suggests that future studies should focus on the early-time behavior of these thermals (in particular, the transition to turbulence), and that the choice of turbulent flame speed does not play a significant role in the dynamics once the thermal has become established.

description: We examine the significance of a planar arrangement in the spatial distribution of the Milky Way's globular clusters (GCs). We find that, when separated on the basis of horizontal branch morphology and metallicity, the outer-most canonical young halo GC sample (at galactocentric radii in excess of 10 kpc) exhibit an anisotropic distribution that may be equated to a plane (24 +/- 4) kpc thick (rms) and inclined at 8 degrees +/- 5 degrees to the polar axis of the Milky Way disk. To quantify the significance of this plane we determine the fraction of times that an isotropic distribution replicates the observed distribution in Monte-Carlo trials. The plane is found to remain significant at the >95% level outside a galactocentric radius of 10 kpc, inside this radius the spatial distribution is apparently isotropic. In contrast, the spatial distribution of the old halo sample outside 10 kpc is well matched by an isotropic distribution. The plane described by the outer young halo globular clusters is indistinguishable in orientation from that presented by the satellite galaxies of the Milky Way. Simulations have shown that the planar arrangement of satellites can arise as filaments of the surrounding large scale structure feed into the Milky Way's potential. We therefore propose that our results are direct observational evidence for the accreted origin of the outer young halo globular cluster population. This conclusion confirms numerous lines of evidence that have similarly indicated an accreted origin for this set of clusters from the inferred cluster properties.

description: social networks is standard among adolescents and young people. Diverse identities and different generations converge in the Cuban digital population, particularly within a sector of the population that has been in contact with the digital world since birth ; the so-called “digital natives”. Being born into a world with technology does not exclude this generation from the need to prepare for the use of digital networks. An exploratory descriptive study of mixed methodology carried out on adolescents in 2021 revealed that the age at which children start to use technology without adult mediation or supervision is decreasing. For this reason, the Nativos Project arose. This is a socio-educational project in social networks whose objective is to promote the proper use of ICTs in adolescents by generating educational content on the digital platform, while promoting consumption of cultural content. The project meets in virtual spaces and is brought face-to-face through workshops. Its purpose is to create a spokesperson adolescent community capable of replicating knowledge and becoming facilitators, spreading awareness of the proper and beneficial uses of these technologies. Our main mission with the adolescent community is to encourage critical analysis of social realities and to contribute to good media consumption practices.

description: The antiferrodistortive (AFD) structural transitions of calcium titanate (CaTiO3) at ambient pressure have been extensively studied during the last few years. It is found none of the AFD polymorphs is polar or ferroelectric. However, it was recently shown theoretically and later experimentally confirmed that a ferroelectric transition in CaTiO3 can be induced by tensile strains. The ferroelectric instability is believed to be strongly coupled to the AFD soft modes. In this article, we present a complete thermodynamic potential for describing the coupling between the AFD and ferroelectric phase transitions. We analyzed the dependence of transition temperatures on stress and strain condition. Based on this potential, a (001) CaTiO3 thin film diagram was constructed. The results show good agreement with available experimental observations. The strong suppression of ferroelectric transition by the AFD transition is discussed.

description: Branons are new degrees of freedom that appear in flexible brane-world models corresponding to brane fluctuations. These new fields can behave as standard weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with a significant associated thermal relic density. We analyze the present constraints from their spontaneous annihilations into photons for EGRET, Fermi-LAT and MAGIC, and the prospects for detection in future Cherenkov telescopes. In particular, we focus on possible signals coming from the Galactic Center and different dwarf spheroidals, such as Draco, Sagittarius, Canis Major and SEGUE 1. We conclude that for those targets, present observations are below the sensitivity limits for branon detection by assuming standard dark matter distributions and no additional boost factors. However, future experiments such as CTA could be able to detect gamma-ray photons coming from the annihilation of branons with masses higher than 150 GeV.

description: Abstract: In order to clarify the association between media multitasking and attentional ability, the current study employed a multi-identity tracking and multi-object tracking task to explore the effects of media multitasking on attentional control in a dynamic stimulus environment. Using a combination of questionnaire methods (study 1) and experimental methods (study 2 and 3), the results showed that: (1) media multitasking significantly negatively predicted dynamic visual attention; (2) the influence of media multitasking on individuals' dynamic visual attention was mediated by cognitive load. Under the level of high cognitive load, the dynamic visual attention of high-media multitaskers was significantly lower than that of low-media multitaskers; while under the level of low cognitive load, there was no significant difference between them; (3) The effect of media multitasking on dynamic visual attention was not moderated by media-related cues. That is, the dynamic visual attention impairment exhibited by high-media multitaskers was not only reflected in generalized neutral scenes, but also in specific media-related scenes. This study supported the attentional impaired hypothesis in dynamic attentional processing, enriching the theory of media multitasking in adolescents.

description: Abstract: Relevance. Today, traditional models of school educational work are giving way to media educational approaches. How should the media environment be used so that its communication potential contributes to the development of prosocial qualities in schoolchildren? The purpose of the current study is to investigate the prosocial content of media resources. Research methods and sampling. Qualitative and quantitative analysis and calculation of percentages. The sample included students from grades 8-9 (n=34 people). The main results. The VKontakte media resource was chosen as the object of analysis. The most successful prosocial projects with the participation of schoolchildren are: "Ecology of Russia" (365.9 thousand participants), "Ecosphere: ecology + technology = life" (50.1 thousand participants), "Plant a forest" (14.8 thousand participants), "Green Bull" (6.3 thousand participants). Content creators attract the attention of younger audiences to environmental issues using short, accessible, interesting posts, videos, contests among subscribers, surveys, and live broadcasts with experts in the field of ecology. Patriotic education of schoolchildren is successfully implemented on VKontakte by the All-Russian community on the page "Victory Volunteers" (125.2 thousand participants), where each student can discuss the contribution of their ancestors to the victory. The most extensive social network on VKontakte presents content related to helping animals: "These funny animals" (275 thousand subscribers), "All-Russian Animal Protection Movement" (53 thousand participants), "Give a paw" (38 thousand participants), "Give good" (38 thousand participants), etc. Publications with animals evoke strong, sincere feelings among schoolchildren tens of thousands of views, hundreds and thousands of likes, and hundreds of children's comments. Conclusion. The prosocial behavior of schoolchildren in thematic volunteer blogs begins with empathy and support with a like or comment. Due to their popularity with students, media resources and online communities are an effective tool for the dissemination of socio-cultural values.

description: Abstract: Self-regulated learning and school engagement are significant factors of students' academic success in different ages. The presented research aims to identify the mediator role of conscious self-regulation in the relationship between the components of school engagement and the academic performance of adolescents. 1127 (43% female) Russian adolescents aged 10-17 participated in this study. School engagement was assessed by the Multidimensional Scale of School Engagement (Wang et al., 2019) adapted to the Russian sample. The questionnaire evaluates behavioral, cognitive, emotional, and social components of engagement. For the assessment of self-regulation, the Self-Regulation Profile of Learning Activity Questionnaire (SRPLAQ) was used (Morosanova, Bondarenko, 2015) containing the following scales: planning, modeling, programming, results evaluation, flexibility, independence, reliability, responsibility, and integrative indicator i.e., the general level of self-regulation. New significant results were obtained on the relationship between conscious self-regulation and school engagement, as well as the specifics of their joint contribution to the academic performance of students of different ages. It was shown that conscious self-regulation acts not only as a resource for academic success but also as a factor mediating the impact of school engagement (its general level and individual components) on academic performance. An analysis of moderated mediation revealed significant 52 moderation effects of the age factor (school grade) on the relationship between self-regulation, school engagement and academic performance. The most distinct mediation effects were found in grades 7, 10 and 11. The results are discussed within the context of the conscious self-regulation formation problem and the dynamics of engagement in different periods of school education.

description: Aims. In order to search for and study the nature of the low-amplitude and long-periodic radial velocity (RV) variations of massive stars, we have been carrying out a precise RV survey for supergiants that lie near or inside the Cepheid instability strip. Methods. We have obtained high-resolution spectra of α Per (F5 Ib) from November 2005 to September 2011 using the fiber-fed Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO). Results. Our measurements reveal that α Per shows a periodic RV variation of 128 days and a semi-amplitude of 70 m/s. We find no strong correlation between RV variations and bisector velocity span (BVS), but the 128-d peak is indeed present in the BVS variations among several other significant peaks in periodogram. Conclusions. α Per may have an exoplanet, but the combined data spanning over 20 years seem to suggest that the 128-d RV variations have not been stable on long-term scale, which is somewhat difficult to reconcile with the exoplanet explanation. We do not exclude the pulsational nature of the 128-d variations in α Per. Although we do not find clear evidence for surface activity or rotational modulations by spots, coupled with the fact that the expected rotation period is ~ 130 days the rotational modulation seems to be the most likely cause of the RV variations. More observational data and research are needed to clearly determine the origin of RV the variations in α Per.

Exploring the reading non-engagement of two grade six students during sustained silent reading
Creators: name: Bryan, Gregory
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate notions of engagement and non-engagement within sustained silent reading (SSR) in a grade six classroom in a metropolitan city in one of Canada’s western provinces. The study explored what two students, identified by their teacher as non-engaged during SSR, had to say about SSR and reading. The study also identified factors that appeared to influence the children’s SSR non-engagement. The students were observed during SSR over seven-and-a-half weeks. Each child participated in seven semi-structured interviews with the researcher, for a total of two hours of semi-structured interviews each. Other data collection methods were employed. Amongst other things, the students were observed in other classroom contexts. The students also completed an attitude survey. The things the students said were categorised. Despite 17 categories, the top 3 categories accounted for almost half of all the things the students said. Almost one-fifth (18.01%) of ideas were social remarks. The next highest ranks were remarks classified as discussion of text content (16.33%) and strategy use (12.4%). These figures and other data suggested that, although the students often were non-engaged during SSR, they were engaged readers in some settings, at some times. Although much of the research literature describes readers as engaged or not, this study demonstrated that such a view may be too simplistic. Based upon a variety of data sources, 11 factors were identified that appeared to have contributed to the students’ non-engagement. These factors included the expectation of silence, as well as problematic perceptions of the purpose of SSR. Low motivation, limited perceptions of the usefulness of reading, and negative attitudes all seemed to contribute to the students’ non-engagement. Other contributing factors appeared related to the classroom structure; for instance, the classroom library housed only limited attractive text options. There was also a limited sense of a classroom literacy community. In light of these findings, the author suggests the need to reconsider the one-size-fits-all model of SSR. Suggestions are provided for ways that teachers might restructure classroom reading in order to increase the likelihood of student engagement.

description: Tensor models generalize random matrix models in yielding a theory of dynamical triangulations in arbitrary dimensions. Colored tensor models have been shown to admit a 1/N expansion and a continuum limit accessible analytically. In this paper we prove that these results extend to the most general tensor model for a single generic, i.e. non-symmetric, complex tensor. Colors appear in this setting as a canonical book-keeping device and not as a fundamental feature. In the large N limit, we exhibit a set of Virasoro constraints satisfied by the free energy and an infinite family of multicritical behaviors with entropy exponents γ_m=1-1/m.

The gamma-ray flux is (3.8 \pm 0.6) x 10^{-8} photons cm^{-2} s^{-1}, corresponding to a luminosity of 1.3 x 10^{34} (d/1.3 kpc)^2 erg s^{-1} in this energy range. The gamma-ray emission exhibits a possible spatial correlation with prominent Halpha filaments of S147. There is no indication that the gamma-ray emission comes from the associated pulsar PSR J0538+2817. The gamma-ray spectrum integrated over the remnant is likely dominated by the decay of neutral pi mesons produced through the proton--proton collisions in the filaments. Reacceleration of pre-existing CRs and subsequent adiabatic compression in the filaments is sufficient to provide the required energy density of high-energy protons.

description: We present a detailed comparison of the substructure properties of a single Milky Way sized dark matter halo from the Aquarius suite at five different resolutions, as identified by a variety of different (sub-)halo finders for simulations of cosmic structure formation. These finders span a wide range of techniques and methodologies to extract and quantify substructures within a larger non-homogeneous background density (e.g. a host halo). This includes real-space, phase-space, velocity-space and time- space based finders, as well as finders employing a Voronoi tessellation, friends-of-friends techniques, or refined meshes as the starting point for locating substructure.A common post-processing pipeline was used to uniformly analyse the particle lists provided by each finder. We extract quantitative and comparable measures for the subhaloes, primarily focusing on mass and the peak of the rotation curve for this particular study. We find that all of the finders agree extremely well on the presence and location of substructure and even for properties relating to the inner part part of the subhalo (e.g. the maximum value of the rotation curve). For properties that rely on particles near the outer edge of the subhalo the agreement is at around the 20 per cent level. We find that basic properties (mass, maximum circular velocity) of a subhalo can be reliably recovered if the subhalo contains more than 100 particles although its presence can be reliably inferred for a lower particle number limit of 20. We finally note that the logarithmic slope of the subhalo cumulative number count is remarkably consistent and <1 for all the finders that reached high resolution. If correct, this would indicate that the larger and more massive, respectively, substructures are the most dynamically interesting and that higher levels of the (sub-)subhalo hierarchy become progressively less important.

description: the scientific foundations of mentoring have been used abroad not only in the business industry, but also within educational organizations. In this article, we reviewed the latest research in the field of mentoring, including the the most "advanced" approaches, methods, and techniques for putting the scientific foundations into practice at a preschool educational organization. The goal was to contextualize mentoring within a preschool educational organization. Based on this goal, we were able to identify the main task of the study, which was to introduce the methodology of mentoring into the work of the head (mentor) of a preschool educational organization. Methodology. The research method was a critical analysis of foreign literature on the topic of Western (including American) mentoring since the 1990s to the present day. We used critical thinking and the method of expert opinion, with the help of which we studied the regions of the Volga region (Chuvash, Mari regions) and the Cis-Ural region (Republic of Bashkortostan). Results. Ideas about mentoring were widespread. Our task was to define mentoring as a distinct practice, which demonstrates the subjective position of the mentor (i.e., where the leader single-handedly “instructs” the ward) and the objective position of the mentor (where the mentee-teacher is offered options and ways to make an independent decision). Conclusion. The leaders of preschool educational organizations noted that the use of mentoring meant considering interaction in the context of "do as you can, but you have many ways to solve it." The process of delegating responsibilities between mentee teachers is more confident, which certainly transforms managerial potential.

description: If the conformal invariance of electromagnetism is broken during inflation, then primordial magnetic fields may be produced. If this symmetry breaking is generated by the coupling between electromagnetism and a scalar field---e.g. the inflaton, curvaton, or the Ricci scalar---then these magnetic fields may be correlated with primordial density perturbations, opening a new window to the study of non-gaussianity in cosmology. In order to illustrate, we couple electromagnetism to an auxiliary scalar field in a de Sitter background. We calculate the power spectra for scalar-field perturbations and magnetic fields, showing how a scale-free magnetic field spectrum with rms amplitude of ~nG at Mpc scales may be achieved. We explore the Fourier-space dependence of the cross-correlation between the scalar field and magnetic fields, showing that the dimensionless amplitude, measured in units of the power spectra, can grow as large as ~500 H_I/M, where H_I is the inflationary Hubble constant and M is the effective mass scale of the coupling.

description: We solve the following problem. Given a continuous complex-valued potential q_1 defined on a segment [-a,a] and let q_2 be the potential of a Darboux transformed Schrödinger operator. Suppose a transmutation operator T_1 for the potential q_1 is known such that the corresponding Schrödinger operator is transmuted into the operator of second derivative. Find an analogous transmutation operator T_2 for the potential q_2. It is well known that the transmutation operators can be realized in the form of Volterra integral operators with continuously differentiable kernels. Given a kernel K_1 of the transmutation operator T_1 we find the kernel K_2 of T_2 in a closed form in terms of K_1. As a corollary interesting commutation relations between T_1 and T_2 are obtained which then are used in order to construct the transmutation operator for the one-dimensional Dirac system with a scalar potential.
Novel approaches for multi-modal imaging and fusion in orthopaedic research for analysis of bone and joint anatomy and motion

description: Faced with an increasingly aging and overweight population, our modern societies, particularly in the west, are set to witness a steep rise in various orthopaedic health problems in the coming decades, especially joint diseases such as arthritis. Better understanding of the way bones of the joints work is thus imperative for studying the nature and effects of these diseases and for finding cures. The data obtained from conventional sources such as skin markers and x-ray/fluoroscopy scans are generally useful but quite limited in terms of accuracy, quantification abilities and three-dimensional visualization potential. The continuous increase in the quality and versatility of various modern imaging modalities is enabling many new means for enhanced visualization and analysis of motion data of the joints. In this thesis we make use of ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to facilitate robust, accurate and efficient analysis of the bones of joints in motion. We achieve this by obtaining motion data using 3D US with high temporal resolution which is then fused with a high spatial resolution, but static MRI volume of the same region (we mostly focus on the knee joint area). Our contributions include novel ways for improved segmentation and localization of the bones from image data. In particular, a highly effective method for improving bone segmentation in MRI volumes by enhancing the contrast at the bone-cartilage interface is proposed. Our contribution also focuses on robust and accurate registration of image data. To achieve this, a new method for stitching US bone volumes is proposed for generating larger fields of view. Further, we also present a novel method for US-MRI bone surface registration. The tools developed during the course of this thesis facilitate orthopaedic research efforts aiming to improving our understanding of the workings of the joints. The tools and methodologies proposed are versatile and expected to be applicable to other applications.

description: Current-induced spin torque and magnetization dynamics in the presence of spin Hall effect in magnetic textures is studied theoretically. The local deviation of the charge current gives rise to a current-induced spin torque of the form (1-β{\bf M})x[({\bf u}_0+α_H{\bf u}_0x\bf M})\cdot{\bm \nabla}]{\bf M}, where {\bf u}_0 is the direction of the injected current, α_H is the Hall angle and βis the non-adiabaticity parameter due to spin relaxation. Since α_H and βcan have a comparable order of magnitude, we show that this torque can significantly modify the current-induced dynamics of both transverse and vortex walls.
