description: Die praxeologisch-rekonstruktiv ausgerichtete Erforschung des Bildungskontextes inklusiver Hochschule steht, anders als dies für den Bereich der rekonstruktiven Schul- und Unterrichts­forschung gesagt werden kann, noch am Anfang. Das in diesem Artikel vorgestellte Verbundprojekt erweitert den Blick auf Inklusionsbedingungen auf der Ebene der Lehre von Bildungsfachkräften. Damit löst es sich von einer sonst dominierenden Adressat*innenlogik, welche die Inklusionsfrage fast ausschließlich für die Lernenden stellt. Die im Projekt durchgeführten Videografien und Gruppendiskussionen wurden auf Grundlage der Dokumen­tarischen Methode analysiert. Der vorliegende Artikel geht auf das Forschungsdesign und erste Forschungsergebnisse ein. Hierbei spielt das rekonstruierte Anerkennungserleben der Bildungsfachkräfte eine zentrale Rolle. Abstract Compared with the fast growing amount of reconstructive studies on inclusion in school research, reconstructive studies on inclusive teaching at universities are rare. First results of a reconstructive research project about inclusive teaching in higher and adult education widens the perspective on conditions of inclusion: It focusses on the teaching-praxis of so called ‘Bildungsfachkräfte’, people with learning disabilities who accomplished a training program lasting three years to qualify for teaching in various academic settings. Our analysis considers the layer of inclusive teaching instead of conditions of inclusive learning. The videographies and group discussions conducted in the project are analysed on the basis of the documentary method. The experiences of recognition will be analysed empirically as a pattern of orientation among the so called ‘Bildungsfachkräfte’ which guides their teaching approach towards inclusion.

description: By selecting astrometric and photometric data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the L{é}pine & Shara Proper Motion North Catalog (LSPM-North), the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), and the USNO-B1.0 catalog, we use a succession of methods to isolate white dwarf candidates for follow-up spectroscopy. Our methods include: reduced proper motion diagram cuts, color cuts, and atmospheric model adherence. We present spectroscopy of 26 white dwarfs obtained from the CTIO 4m and APO 3.5m telescopes. Additionally, we confirm 28 white dwarfs with spectra available in the SDSS DR7 database but unpublished elsewhere, presenting a total of 54 WDs. We label one of these as a recovered WD while the remaining 53 are new discoveries. We determine physical parameters and estimate distances based on atmospheric model analyses. Three new white dwarfs are modeled to lie within 25 pc. Two additional white dwarfs are confirmed to be metal-polluted (DAZ). Follow-up time series photometry confirms another object to be a pulsating ZZ Ceti white dwarf.

Resiliency in housing and transportation choices : the experiences of Filipino immigrants in Toronto
Creators: name: Thomas, Ren
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This dissertation presents a mixed-methods case study of the housing and transportation choices of Filipino immigrants in the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area. Through the examination of this distinctive case, the study illustrates how structural changes in housing policy, immigration policy, transportation infrastructure, and the labour market have impacted immigrants’ choices over time. Considering the impact of immigration on housing and transportation infrastructure in Canadian municipalities, this case could have impacts on growth management policies advocating the development of sustainable communities. Many Canadian cities integrate housing and transportation infrastructure in official plans and policies. Using Census data, a Principal Components Analysis, and interviews with Filipino immigrants who arrived from the 1960s to the 2000s, the research shows that major increases in immigration, changes in the structure of the labour market, and changes in housing policy resulting in less rental and affordable housing have impacted Filipino immigrants’ housing and transportation choices. Participants’ histories in the Philippines revealed a high level of renting and transit use, which influenced their choices in Canada. The role of social networks in providing initial housing, advice on neighbourhoods and housing types, and guidance on the public transit and vehicle licensing systems was also significant. Overall, Filipino immigrants displayed considerable practicality in choosing housing types and tenures that met their needs. They often chose housing that was close to public transit, their workplaces, children’s schools, churches, shops and services. Their ability to weigh alternatives and costs and choose the most appropriate option for their particular situation contributed to the resiliency of this group and resulted in some sustainable choices. All of these factors have contributed to much higher rental rates and transit ridership among Filipino immigrants than other immigrant groups or non-immigrants. The resiliency strategy used by Filipino immigrants serves as a reminder that the most practical choices are often the most sustainable. In the context of precarious labour markets, economic instability, and the uncertainty of policy initiatives supporting public transit and affordable housing in Canadian municipalities, resiliency in housing and transportation choices becomes important.
Goals and methodology : from bond to border : the transformation of the Adriatic in the nineteenth century

description: The aim of this paper was to offer an overview on my current research which examines a network of writers and community leaders living in Venice, Trieste, and Dalmatia, who, from the late 1830s to the 1850s, promoted a multinational vision of the Adriatic. This movement, which I have termed Adriatic multi-nationalism, foresaw the mutual development of more than one national community throughout an area where it was believed that at least three of Europe’s peoples or nations overlapped. By focusing on six of the most prominent figures in this network, I show the origins of this Adriatic multi-national ideology, how it spread to incorporate activists from different geographical and intellectual climates, and how the ideology transformed from one which posited the Adriatic as a forum for communication and harmonization between Europe’s nations to one which defined the Adriatic as a natural “no-man’s-land” or buffer zone between different peoples.

description: A new and radical scenario of the simple 2006 model of radiative neutrino mass is proposed, where there is no seesaw mechanism, i.e. neutrino masses are not inversely proportional to some large mass scale, contrary to the prevalent theoretical thinking. The neutral singlet fermions in the loop have masses of order 10 keV, the lightest of which is absolutely stable and the others are very long-lived. All are components of warm dark matter, which is a possible new paradigm for explaining the structure of the Universe at all scales.

Dream of the hanging gardens : male Iraqi refugees and exiles in Jordan, their migration and adaptation experiences
Creators: name: Al-Mashat, Kasim Mohamed
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study shares the stories of ten Iraqi refugees and exiles who experienced war in Iraq and migrated to Jordan. Through the methodology of narrative inquiry, this study gives voice to their stories of adversity and loss. It investigates the meaning they make of their experiences and how that helped them cope and adapt. Using thematic analysis, themes were highlighted within each narrative. Then, three common themes were identified amongst all ten narratives: 1) the role of religious beliefs and their linguistic expressions in coping, 2) the inner strength gained from experiencing war and from identification with the Iraqi nationality, and 3) the search for a purpose and the desire to make a contribution. This research contributes to the field of counselling psychology by providing rich and detailed contextual understanding of the ways in which Iraqis coped with their war and migration experiences. This study also examines the role of the researcher, as well as the limitations of the research, future research suggestions, and the implications for counselling psychology.

description:
Purpose: Transgender (trans) women living with HIV experience suboptimal care and treatment outcomes. We adapted a multilevel intervention to improve HIV outcomes and overall well-being among trans women sex workers living with HIV. The intervention, called Abriendo Puertas (AP; Opening Doors), included: individual counseling, peer navigation, and community mobilization "open houses." The purpose of this article is to describe acceptability and initial outcomes of the adapted AP pilot and explore intervention experiences to inform recommendations for improvement. Methods: After an iterative adaptation process, we recruited 30 trans women sex workers living with HIV to participate in the pilot. We conducted baseline and endline (12-months) surveys to compare HIV care and treatment outcomes and qualitative interviews to assess intervention experiences with a subsample (n=20). Results: Intervention retention was high, with 86.7% of participants (n=26/30) completing both baseline and endline surveys. At endline, there was a significant increase in current anti-retroviral therapy (ART) use (70.0% to 84.6%, p<0.03) and positive, but not significant, trends in missed care appointments in the past 6 months (34.5% to 20.0%, p<0.39) and not having missed any ART doses in the past 4 days (85.7% to 95.5%, p<0.50). Intervention acceptability was high across all components: individual counseling (96.1%), peer navigation (80.8%), and open houses (84.6%). Participants emphasized that trust and being treated with respect allowed them to relax and improve their self-esteem. Limited trust and cohesion among trans women, however, limited more extensive engagement with peer navigation and community mobilization components. Conclusion: Future efforts to strengthen the AP intervention with trans women sex workers should continue to address emotional, instrumental, and informational support needs related to living with HIV through individual counseling, peer navigation, and open houses while also enhancing group-level activities to build trust and generate a collective commitment to promote the well-being of the community.

description: Promoting Open and Responsible Science is a major objective for OpenUP. For doing this, the project engaged key stakeholders, such as researchers, publishers, institutions and funders, industry and citizens, in a multiple-level approach, which included a broad range of events and activities. For OpenUP it is important not only to come up with a cohesive framework for the review-assess-disseminate process, but also to make sure that “the message” is understood and adopted. For this reason, the project has also included a training dimension in its work plan. Organising and delivering training activities is one of the vehicles OpenUP will use, in order to better explain the challenges and trends for the research lifecycle, in a transforming science landscape.

Wealth and welfare states : what is the real story?

description: Many believe that the welfare state undermines productivity, economic growth and development; that the United States has an unusually small welfare state; and finally that the United States is and always has been a welfare state laggard. This paper shows that all three propositions are false when one includes education along with cash benefits and health care support as part of the welfare state. We argue that the social programs that constitute the welfare state complement capitalism and enrich nations. The American welfare state is not unusually small, but, it is peculiar in its reliance upon the combination of employer-provided benefits and weak cash benefit programs for the poor. Finally, the United States rather than always being a laggard in welfare state development was a leader in the provision of public education for most of its history, but now lags behind other rich nations.

description: High rates of incarceration among American men, coupled with high rates of fatherhood among men in prison, have motivated recent research on the effects of parental imprisonment on children's development. We use data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study to examine the relationship between paternal incarceration and developmental outcomes for approximately 3,000 urban children. We estimate cross-sectional and longitudinal regression models that control not only for fathers' basic demographic characteristics and a rich set of potential confounders, but also for several measures of pre-incarceration child development and family fixed effects. We find significant increases in aggressive behaviors among children whose fathers are incarcerated, and some evidence of increased attention problems. The estimated effects of paternal incarceration are stronger than those of other forms of father absence, suggesting that children with incarcerated fathers may require specialized support from caretakers, teachers, and social service providers. The estimated effects are stronger for children who lived with their fathers prior to incarceration, but are also significant for children of nonresident fathers, suggesting that incarceration places children at risk through family hardships including and beyond parent-child separation.
Scale-Dependent Newton's Constant G in the Conformal Newtonian Gauge

description: In classical gravity deviations from the predictions of the Einstein theory are often discussed within the framework of the conformal Newtonian gauge, where scalar perturbations are described by two potentials $ϕ$ and $ψ$. In this paper we use the above gauge to explore possible cosmological consequences of a running Newton's constant $ G (\Box) $, as suggested by the nontrivial ultraviolet fixed point scenario arising from the quantum field-theoretic treatment of Einstein gravity with a cosmological constant term. Here we focus on the effects of a scale-dependent coupling on the so-called gravitational slip functions $η= ψ/ ϕ-1 $, whose classical general relativity value is zero. Starting from a set of manifestly covariant but non-local effective field equations derived earlier, we compute the leading corrections in the potentials $ϕ$ and $ψ$ for a nonrelativistic, pressureless fluid. After providing an estimate for the quantity $η$, we then focus on a comparison with results obtained in a previous paper on matter density perturbations in the synchronous gauge, which gave an estimate for the growth index parameter $γ$, also in the presence of a running $G$. Our results indicate that, in the present framework and for a given $ G (\Box) $, the corrections tend to be significantly larger in magnitude for the perturbation growth exponents than for the conformal Newtonian gauge slip function.

Typologizing temporality : time-aggregated and time-patterned approaches to conceptualizing homelessness
Creators: name: McAllister, William

name: Lennon, Mary Clare
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Economics

description: This paper shows how we can use a relatively new method to construct time-based homeless typologies that expand our ability to theorize and to make policy. Our key argument is that commonly created "time-aggregated" typologies lose potentially useful information by summing, averaging or otherwise summarizing events that occur over time. We suggest instead a "time-patterned" approach that captures events as they unfurl over time by measuring their timing, duration and sequencing. Comparing time-aggregated and time-patterned analyses of Kuhn and Culhane's prominent three-category typology, we find the time-patterned approach performs marginally better. We argue, however, that both analyses reveal problematic heterogeneity in the three groups and that the initial theorizing is not robust. These deficiencies suggest the utility of further analysis. Using the time-patterned results, we identify a four-pattern/ten-group typology that technically and substantively contrasts strongly with the prevailing three-category typology. We then imagine how structural factors and individual traits can combine to generate these observed homeless patterns, and conclude that either approach and either typology may be appropriate, depending on theorizing and the uses to which the findings are to be put.

We analyze some consequences of the results and comment on the generalization of this work to general asymptotically flat spacetimes.

description: For three dimensional N=6 superconformal field theories we compute one-loop scattering amplitudes for any number of external particles. We focus on a particular subsector of N=2 invariant superamplitudes for which the ordinary perturbative evaluation becomes very easy. The result we obtain is in general non-vanishing. For six external particles our findings are sufficient for determining the complete expression of the N=6 superamplitude at this order. We discuss the symmetries of the result and its anomalous variation under superconformal generators.

description: Drugs, crime and public housing are closely linked in policy and politics, and their nexus has animated several intensive drug enforcement programs targeted at public housing residents. In New York City, police systematically conduct "vertical" patrols in public, making tens of thousands of "Terry" stops to detect drugs or weapons each year under the Trespass Abatement Program, or TAP. Both uniformed and undercover officers move systemically within the halls and stairwells of buildings, temporarily detaining and questioning residents and visitors, often at a low threshold of suspicion, and usually alleging trespass to justify the stop. This pattern of selective enforcement through elevated rates of high discretion stops in public housing under TAP raises constitutional concerns at the intersection of the Fourteenth Amendment prohibitions on racial discrimination -- residents of public housing are overwhelming nonwhite -- and Fourth Amendment prohibitions on suspicionless stops. We use a case-control design to identify the effects of living in a public housing development on the probability of stop, frisk and arrest for trespass or other crimes in New York City's 330 public housing developments from 2005-8. We find that the incidence rate ratio for trespass stops and arrests is 1.5 times greater in public housing than in the immediate surrounding neighborhoods. We decompose these effects using first differences models and find that the difference in percent Black population in public housing compared to the surrounding area predicts the disparity in trespass enforcement. Four-wave cross-lag regressions show that trespass enforcement in public housing is independent from enforcement in the surrounding area, suggesting that public housing is specifically targeted for intensive enforcement. The results raise constitutional concerns about equal protection. Qualitative evidence suggests that stops have a stigmatizing effect on public housing residents and their families, and that they inhibit basic social interactions such as child care arrangements and family visitation.

description: Phase structure of monolayer graphene is studied on the basis of a U(1) gauge theory defined on the honeycomb lattice. Motivated by the strong coupling expansion of U(1) lattice gauge theory, we consider on-site and nearest-neighbor interactions between the fermions. When the on-site interaction is dominant, the sublattice symmetry breaking (SLSB) of the honeycomb lattice takes place. On the other hand, when the interaction between nearest neighboring sites is relatively strong, there appears two different types of spontaneous Kekule distortion (KD1 and KD2), without breaking the sublattice symmetry. The phase diagram and phase boundaries separating SLSB, KD1 and KD2 are obtained from the mean-field free energy of the effective fermion model. A finite gap in the spectrum of the electrons can be induced in any of the three phases.

Creators: name: Sankar, Diana Lakshmi
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: The effects of climate change are likely to have a significant impact on
 environmental flows, which are often represented by alterations in hydrologic
 and ecological indices. Changes in ow regimes caused by climate change have
 implications for river ecology, and projections of future ow regimes must be
 reliable. In this study, the performance of hydrological models was evaluated with
 hydro-ecological indices to determine if stream ow characteristics could be reasonably
 modelled with RCM (Regional Climate Model) driven data. In general, it was found
 that RCM driven hydrological models could well simulate ecological stream ow
 characteristics with seasonal or monthly bias correction. However, characteristics that
 represented the frequency and rate of change of stream ow were not well simulated
 even with bias correction. RCM data driven models resulted in comparable error to
 the simulation of ERSS in a regional analysis. This gave confidence to the use of
 RCM driven data to simulate stream ow characteristics.

description: The global financial crisis of 2008 initially seemed to mark the bankruptcy of neoliberal deregulation and a transition to a new era of renewed faith in government, yet the rising fortunes of parties on the right seem to belie this easy lesson. This essay considers the persistence of managed and relatively egalitarian capitalism after the crisis of finance capitalism. I reflection why some societies are more equitable and solidaristic than others, question whether our beliefs about cross-national variation continue to hold true, and ponder how the financial crisis might affect nations’ capacities to construct coalitions for social solidarity.

description: We demonstrate the presence of parity-time (PT) symmetry for the non-Hermitian two-state Hamiltonian of a dissipative microwave billiard in the vicinity of an exceptional point (EP). The shape of the billiard depends on two parameters. The Hamiltonian is determined from the measured resonance spectrum on a fine grid in the parameter plane. After applying a purely imaginary diagonal shift to the Hamiltonian, its eigenvalues are either real or complex conjugate on a curve, which passes through the EP. An appropriate basis choice reveals its PT symmetry. Spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs at the EP.

We present a detailed computational example of (uncharged) particle species separation (Maxwell demon) using an interaction that violates both parity (P) and T so that PT is preserved, consistent with the CPT invariance required in quantum field theory (C is charge conjugation). This illustrates how T-violating forces can produce more organized states from disorganized ones, contrary to expectations based on increase of entropy. We also outline several scenarios in which T-violating forces could lead to an organized state in the early Universe, starting from a still earlier disorganized state.

description: In this work, we present a systematic study of the observed isoscalar tensor $f_2$ states. With the detailed analysis of the mass spectrum and calculation of the $f_2$ two-body strong decays, we extract information of their underly structures, and try to categorize them into the conventional tensor meson family ($n^{3}P_{2}$ $(n=1,2,3,4)$ and $m^{3}F_{2}$ ($m=1,2$)). We also give predictions for other decay modes of these tensor mesons, which are useful for further experimental investigations.

description: Ever since the end of what the French call les trentes glorieuses, wave after wave of commentators has assured us that the future of social solidarity, in particular as expressed in the welfare state that was largely constructed during that period, is bleak. First the ‘fiscal crisis’ resulting from the era of ‘stagflation’ was forecast to lead to an inevitable dismantling of the welfare state (see, e.g., O’Connor 1973), then globalization was to force competing nations into a ‘race to the bottom’ (Mishra 1999), then the introduction of the Euro was seen as a more or less deliberate strategy to undermine Europe’s welfare states (Hay 2000; Martin and Ross 1999), and now we are told that the Greek debt crisis is just the beginning of an inevitable wave of cutbacks to get our collective fiscal houses in order again. It is “payback time” at last, according to a recent article in the New York Times, as “The deficit crisis that threatens the euro has also undermined the sustainability of the European standard of social welfare, built by left-leaning governments since the end of World War II” (Erlanger 2010).

description: The Midwest United States is an intensely agricultural region where pesticides in streams pose risks to aquatic biota, but temporal variability in pesticide concentrations makes characterization of their exposure to organisms challenging. To compensate for the effects of temporal variability, we deployed polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS) in 100 small streams across the Midwest for about 5 weeks during summer 2013 and analyzed the extracts for 227 pesticide compounds. Analysis of water samples collected weekly for pesticides during POCIS deployment allowed for comparison of POCIS results with periodic water-sampling results. The median number of pesticides detected in POCIS extracts was 62, and 141 compounds were detected at least once, indicating a high level of pesticide contamination of streams in the region. Sixty-five of the 141 compounds detected were pesticide degradates. Mean water concentrations estimated using published POCIS sampling rates strongly correlated with means of water concentrations measured weekly, however, the POCIS-estimated concentrations generally were lower than the measured water concentrations. Summed herbicide concentrations (units of ng/POCIS) were greater at agricultural sites than at urban sites and summed concentrations of insecticides and fungicides were greater at the urban sites. Consistent with these differences, summed concentrations of herbicides correlate to percent cultivated crops in the watersheds and those of insecticides and fungicides correlate to percent urban land use. With the exception of malathion concentrations at nine sites, POCIS-estimated water concentrations were lower than aquatic-life benchmarks. The POCIS provide an alternative approach to traditional water sampling for characterizing chronic exposure to pesticides in streams across the Midwest region. This data release provides tables presenting a) deployment-time-normalized concentrations of pesticides in POCIS extracts, and b) estimated water concentrations for 52 pesticides based on; concentrations in POCIS extracts, chemical-specific sampling rates, and mean concentrations in water samples collected during POCIS deployment.

description: Skilled trades are in demand across many industries and many countries. Skilled trades refer to occupations that require training and proficiency in a specialized field, such as weld?ing, carpentry, or mechanics. The challenge is upskilling workers to become suited for these positions. One way training might be made more accessible is through low cost VR applica?tions as they can provide a ’learn by doing’ modality that is effective for learning motor skills, and also engaging for providing a holistic training experience. In this thesis, design guide?lines and a methodology for creating training programs that target hand tool based skills are laid out, tested, and refined for future usage. Working with content experts, a learning plan was developed via the backward design methodology, evaluated in a user study, and then applied to a second use case. The results of the user study showed that those who trained with VR were able to perform the prescribed task more quickly and with less mistakes. The implication of the second use case is that the established guidelines are versatile enough to be applied to other industries and simple enough to adapt industry specific knowledge to. The hope is that this work can help bridge the gap between the theoretical possibilities of VR training, effective training methodology, and real world application.

Role of PTEN nuclear translocation in excitotoxic and ischemic neuronal injuries following stroke
Creators: name: Zhang, Shu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in developed countries. About 87% of stroke cases results from blood vessel(s) occlusion in the brain, leading to neuronal death and neurological impairment (Lloyd-Jones et al., 2010). The ischemic progression likely involves multiple events, and increasing evidence showed that the ischemic neuronal death is caused, at least in part, by over-activation of N-methyl-Daspartate subtype glutamate receptors (NMDARs) (Rothman, 1983, Rothman, 1984, Simon et al., 1984). A large number of pre-clinical studies showed that NMDAR antagonists have strong neuroprotective effects against ischemic insults (Park et al., 1988b, Bullock et al., 1990). However, none of the following human clinical trials have succeeded yet (Muir, 2006). Several explanations have been suggested (Gladstone et al., 2002), including the following two major reasons that may be overcome by the novel therapeutics proposed here. First, the stroke patient inclusion periods (>6 hours) used by most clinical trials are beyond the therapeutic time window (<1 hour) of NMDAR antagonists. Second, NMDAR antagonists, when used at the concentration required to block excitotoxicity, also abolish the pro-survival downstream cascades of NMDARs, thus leading to intolerable side effects. Therefore, instead of aiming at the receptor per se, my current study turns to focus on identifying NMDAR’s downstream death signals, which may permit a much wider therapeutic time window and are solely involved in pro-death signaling pathways of NMDARs. My results suggest that PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome TEN) is such a candidate. Both NMDA stimulation on cultured neurons (in vitro) and ischemic insults in rats (in vivo) can trigger ubiquitination-dependent PTEN translocation into the nucleus. Inhibition of PTEN nuclear translocation using an interfering peptide (Tat-K13) can significantly reduce the excitotoxic/ischemic neuronal injuries both in vitro and in vivo. Most excitingly, the intervention time window of PTEN nuclear translocation (6 hours post-ictus) is much wider than that of the only clinically available anti-stroke drug named tissue plasminogen activator (3 hours) (NINDS, 1995). These findings strongly suggest that PTEN nuclear translocation is a critical step leading to excitotoxic/ischemic neuronal injuries, and Tat-K13 represents a potential therapeutic strategy for stroke treatment.
