description: Poster contribution for the XV SEA (2022). There is a class of binary post-AGB stars that systematically shows evidence of the presence of disks. All of them present a remarkable NIR excess and the narrow CO line profiles characteristic of rotating disks. Their SEDs reveal the presence of hot dust close to the stellar system, and its disk-like shape has been confirmed by interferometric IR data. These disks must be stable structures, because their IR spectra reveal the presence of highly processed grains. Observations of CO through single-dish and interferometric observations confirm the presence of another structure that surrounds the disk and presents expansion velocity. This contribution explores the existence of two subclasses of nebulae around binary post-AGB stars: the disk- and the outflow-dominates sources. The molecular content of these sources was unknown, we now know that they present relatively low molecular content.

description: Quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field in the medium surrounding two discharged macroscopic polarizable bodies induce a force between the two bodies, the so called Casimir force. In the last two decades many experiments have accurately measured this force, and significant efforts are made to harness it in the actuation of micro and nano machines. The inherent many body character of the Casimir force makes its computation very difficult in non-planar geometries, like the standard experimental sphere-plate configuration. Here we derive an approximate semi-analytic formula for the sphere-plate Casimir force, which is both easy to compute numerically and very accurate at all distances. By a comparison with the fully converged exact scattering formula, we show that the error made by the approximate formula is indeed much smaller than the uncertainty of present and foreseeable Casimir experiments.

description: Multisplit is a broadly useful parallel primitive that permutes its input data into contiguous buckets or bins, where the function that categorizes an element into a bucket is provided by the programmer. Due to the lack of an efficient multisplit on GPUs, programmers often choose to implement multisplit with a sort. One way is to first generate an auxiliary array of bucket IDs and then sort input data based on it. In case smaller indexed buckets possess smaller valued keys, another way for multisplit is to directly sort input data. Both methods are inefficient and require more work than necessary: the former requires more expensive data movements while the latter spends unnecessary effort in sorting elements within each bucket. In this work, we provide a parallel model and multiple implementations for the multisplit problem. Our principal focus is multisplit for a small (up to 256) number of buckets. We use warp-synchronous programming models and emphasize warp-wide communications to avoid branch divergence and reduce memory usage. We also hierarchically reorder input elements to achieve better coalescing of global memory accesses. On a GeForce GTX 1080 GPU, we can reach a peak throughput of 18.93 Gkeys/s (or 11.68 Gpairs/s) for a key-only (or key-value) multisplit. Finally, we demonstrate how multisplit can be used as a building block for radix sort. In our multisplit-based sort implementation, we achieve comparable performance to the fastest GPU sort routines, sorting 32-bit keys (and key-value pairs) with a throughput of 3.0 G keys/s (and 2.1 Gpair/s).

description: Academic staff and professional service staff produce vast volumes of information for our students each and every year. More often that not, these are now typically produced in digital format and shared via web sites, blogs or the VLE. The tools that we use to produce these digital documents and media often allow people to create content in a multitude of ways to make our teaching and learning more interesting and engaging. However, in doing this, we are often responsible for making this content inaccessible to about one-fifth of the population who have a permanent or temporary disability. This talk will discuss the key issues around creating accessible content for print and web distribution and show how a few small changes can lead to dramatic gains in making our content more accessible. The legal framework in the UK, EU and US will also be discussed outlining how important this aspect is to ensure we stay within the law. The co-presenter is a former LJMU academic who is now one of only 200 Certified Web Accessibility Professionals in the UK and brings a wealth of professional experience to this field. This outcomes of this talk can make a big contribution to the overall student experience at LJMU across all subject disciplines. The accessible learning experience, PowerPoint.

description: We study a spin-orbital model for 4$d^{1}$ or 5$d^{1}$ Mott insulators in ordered double perovskites with strong spin-orbit coupling. This model is conveniently written in terms of pseudospin and pseudo-orbital operators representing multipoles of the effective $j=3/2$ angular momentum. Similarities between this model and the effective theories of Kitaev materials motivate the proposal of a chiral spin-orbital liquid with Majorana fermion excitations. The thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties of this quantum spin liquid are characterized using parton mean-field theory. The heat capacity, spin-lattice relaxation rate, and dynamic structure factor for inelastic neutron scattering are calculated and compared with the experimental data for the spin liquid candidate Ba$_{2}$YMoO$_{6}$. Moreover, based on a symmetry analysis, we discuss the operators involved in resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) amplitudes for double perovskite compounds. In general, the RIXS cross sections allow one to selectively probe pseudospin and pseudo-orbital degrees of freedom. For the chiral spin-orbital liquid in particular, these cross sections provide information about the spectrum for different flavors of Majorana fermions.

description: We focus on Sustainable Development in our contemporary curriculum and strive to be recognised for capacity building through educational transformation, social mobility and research related to relevant Sustainable Development Goals. We are seeking formal recognition of this for the first time through the Times Higher Education Impact League Table, which assess universities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We benchmark ourselves against the best-in-class institutions for SDG outcomes such as Plymouth University (SDG 14 – Life Below Water) across four broad areas: research, stewardship, outreach and teaching. Our focus on student-centred research is a fundamental part of our aspiration to become a centre of excellence for postgraduate Logistics, Marine and Offshore education and research. Students as Partners (SaP), is a pedagogical approach that has been embraced within the subject team. Since the revalidation of the programmes in 2019, staff and students have continued working in collaboration, as partners, to improve teaching and learning experiences. Student representation on the programme is very strong, with multiple representatives per course volunteering for this role and they are actively engaged in the students’ union and the process of learning and working together. An example of this is our representation in the Maritime Masters Programme. ‘The programme promotes academic excellence amongst students and their universities, whilst providing valuable research to support the maritime sector’s work’ (Maritime UK, 2022). Two of these partnerships have resulted in peer reviewed publications. This session showcases the exceptionally high level of student-led research that has been submitted to this national competition since it started in 2018, told through the experiences of students as partners by the student researchers (now alumni) and their supervisors.

description: Optimization of the fidelity of control operations is of critical importance in the pursuit of fault-tolerant quantum computation. We apply optimal control techniques to demonstrate that a single drive via the cavity in circuit quantum electrodynamics can implement a high-fidelity two-qubit all-microwave gate that directly entangles the qubits via the mutual qubit-cavity couplings. This is performed by driving at one of the qubits' frequencies which generates a conditional two-qubit gate, but will also generate other spurious interactions. These optimal control techniques are used to find pulse shapes that can perform this two-qubit gate with high fidelity, robust against errors in the system parameters. The simulations were all performed using experimentally relevant parameters and constraints.

description: “Nature is our life support system, it’s the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, the energy that sustains us. And it’s in trouble. Wildlife is in dramatic decline. Species extinction and catastrophic climate change threaten all life on Earth. We must take action.” (Rewilding Britain: What is Rewilding?) CARE is a curriculum enhancement project where Education students take action through engagement about climate change and by exploring what the four Earth elements may teach us about education. What kind of education may we transform if we apply the principles of rewilding? Rewilding is about restoring ecosystems and our relationship with our planet. This is a two-part session. It intends to create a space to encounter our planet through its four elements. It addresses the two main key principles of the LJMU Strategy 2030 on prioritising people and sustainability by reconnecting educational conversations with rewilding principles. It will share the journey of Education students and how they rediscover their connections with the planet. First, we explored what questions we must ask to reconnect with the planet. We looked at existing survey instruments on carbon literacy, environmental education and climate change. We reframed some questions as we thought about how these may invite fellow students in Education or Social Sciences to take action or at least join the conversation. Second, we will take you through a reflective engagement with land, air, water and fire as we attempt to respond and reimagine if the Earth be our teacher or learning companion, what will we learn about, how will we feel, what will we do and what questions and topics will be worth attending to.

When the marked surface has no interior marked points, we investigate its compatibility with the quantum duality map $\mathbb{I}_{\mathcal{X}}$ on the dual side based on the quantum bracelets basis [Thu14, MQ23]. Our construction factors through reduced stated skein algebras, based on the quantum trace maps [Lê18] together with an appropriate way of \emph{skein lifting} of integral $\mathcal{A}$-laminations. We also give skein theoretic proofs for some expected properties of Laurent expressions, and positivity of structure constants for marked disks and a marked annulus.

Year: 2023

description: This presentation will focus on explaining how the Student Governance team support students when something goes wrong and how a knowledge of student governance procedures enables the university to support students in their educational journey. The presentation will address the following issues and provide opportunities for further questions: • What happens when a student believes that the university has failed to deliver a programme of study as advertised? The Student Complaints Procedure promotes best practice and provides students with redress when something goes wrong. • What happens when something goes wrong in assessment? A two-stage appeals procedure helps to ensure that when there is a ‘material irregularity’ in assessment, there is less of a delay in getting a student back on track. • What happens when there are concerns about a student’s health? In implementing the Fitness to Study and Engage in the Student Experience Policy, Student Governance work with Student Advice and Wellbeing to ensure that each student is able to fully engage in, and benefit from, university life. • What happens when there are concerns about a student’s fitness to practise on a professionally regulated programme? The Fitness to Practise Policy ensures that by the time of their graduation, a student has the skills, knowledge, health and character to practise the duties of a registered practitioner safely and effectively. • What happens when a student is arrested or charged and convicted of a crime? Student Governance work with the University Police Officer to keep all members of the university community safe.

In 7 dimensions we discuss a class of massive supergravities that arise from M-theory on K3 and point out obstructions to realizing these theories in a dual heterotic framework with a geometric description. Taking M-theory further down to 3 dimensions on K3xK3 with a choice of flux leads to a rich landscape of theories with various amounts of supersymmetry, including those preserving 6 supercharges. We explore possible heterotic realizations of these vacua and prove a no--go theorem: every heterotic geometry that preserves 6 supercharges preserves 8 supercharges.

description: My colleague Kalum and I have implemented emotional regulation strategies and wellbeing goals as part of a “curriculum for wellbeing” approach to a Level 4 module we work on together in the School of Education. At the end of the module (March 2023) we are encouraging focus groups and surveys on students perceptions of these strategies and warm-up exercises to inform future use. It is hoped that students respond positively to these exercises and report a benefit for their stress management and emotional regulation. We would like to present this as a “trial study”/preliminary findings although this is not intended to be publishable work at this point in time but may become research at a later date dependent upon the findings of the project.

description: We present the first ALMA observations of the closest known extrasolar debris disc. This disc orbits the star $ε$ Eridani, a K-type star just 3.2pc away. Due to the proximity of the star, the entire disc cannot fit within the ALMA field of view. Therefore, the observations have been centred 18" North of the star, providing us with a clear detection of the northern arc of the ring, at a wavelength of 1.3mm. The observed disc emission is found to be narrow with a width of just 11-13AU. The fractional disc width we find is comparable to that of the Solar System's Kuiper Belt and makes this one of the narrowest debris discs known. If the inner and outer edges are due to resonances with a planet then this planet likely has a semi-major axis of 48AU. We find tentative evidence for clumps in the ring, although there is a strong chance that at least one is a background galaxy. We confirm, at much higher significance, the previous detection of an unresolved emission at the star that is above the level of the photosphere and attribute this excess to stellar chromospheric emission.

description: We present an elementary derivation and generalisation of a recently reported method of simulating feedback in open quantum systems. We use our generalised method to simulate systems with multiple delays, as well as cascaded systems with delayed backscatter. In addition, we derive a generalisation of the quantum regression formula that applies to systems with delayed feedback, and show how to use the formula to compute two-time correlation functions of the system as well as output field properties. Finally, we show that delayed coherent feedback can be simulated as a quantum teleportation protocol that requires only Markovian resources, pre-shared entanglement, and time travel. The requirement for time travel can be avoided by using a probabilistic protocol.

description: As the impacts of climate change are expected to be increasingly disruptive, a growing share of the economic literature moved to modelling approaches to address the interconnectedness of social, economic, and environmental issues. Among them, System Dynamics (SD) stands out as a well-established modelling approach to analyse complex social-ecological systems. In order to benefit from such modelling exercises it is necessary to follow a structured process, bearing in mind that models should have as their ultimate ambition that of supporting decision-making processes. Yet, the connection with decision-making is addressed only in the last phases of the modelling process, with emphasis placed only on few particular sectors. Hence, a lack of a general framework that can be used as a reference to address climate change adaptation and which could provide insights to economic valuations to support decision-making processes for a different range of sectors emerges. Consistently, the present study aims to bridge the observed gap by employing a combined SES-DAPSIR framework to build a conceptual modelling process for simulating the behaviour of a generic socio-ecosystem, with a particular focus on climate change adaptation. It also illustrates how the proposed conceptual modelling process is concretely put into practice with an application for a coastal socio-ecosystem. This allows demonstrating how the proposed methodology constitute a potential common starting point for different targeted modelling exercises, resulting particularly useful when moving from analytical modelling to decision support.
Hiding in plain sight. Surfacing the university experience of justice-involved students through creative methods

description: 11 million people have a criminal record in the UK. 1 in 3 men have a criminal record - just over half have been convicted on only one occasion, and 85 per cent were convicted before they were 30 years old (Unlock, 2018). Although the exact number of students who have experience of the Criminal Justice System is unknown, conservative estimates suggest that roughly 1 per cent of university applicants declare a criminal record (Ibid). Though most people who have a criminal record do not pose a risk to public safety nor have restrictions that are relevant to university life, the stigma which surrounds the possession of a criminal record, alongside the blanket reconstruction of justice-involved people as ‘risky’ and ‘undeserving’ produces a range of collateral consequences that influence both access to and participation in higher education. Reflecting on their use of creative methodologies (auto-photography and storytelling) Sarah and Helena will explore how and in what ways justice-experienced students are vulnerable to omission across higher education theory, policy and practice. In doing so, this paper not only provides a valuable insight into an overlooked area of higher education praxis but utilise transferable methodologies and approaches that lend themselves to the study of other under-represented and marginalised groups in higher education and beyond.

The Muslim student experience: how Muslim students negotiate barriers in higher education
Creators: name: Tamea, Lila

Publisher: name: Student Experience Proceedings
Year: 2023

description: The Black and Asian Awarding Gap is a big conversation in most universities and whilst Muslims overwhelmingly belong to this category, most fail to recognise or acknowledge the intersectional barriers that a students' faith also presents during their studies. Muslim students at University have the highest dropout rate amongst all faith groups; they are less likely to achieve a professional job after graduating, and with less than two-thirds of Muslim students graduating with a 2:1 or first-degree outcome, Muslim students are the lowest performing faith group at university. Amongst a range of other factors, a lack of sense of belonging, inaccessible faith spaces, university drinking culture, microaggressions and islamophobia are to play for this, but what can we, as academics and professional services staff do to reduce this? In this session, LJMU MA Education graduate, Lila Tamea and Dr Graham Downes will reflect on her research on the Muslim student experience, which explores how (and why) Muslim students are routinely making choices around whether to honour or forfeit their faith at university. The research suggests that, whilst Muslim students may experience the same or similar barriers, they don’t all respond to them in the same way, and instead, they negotiate and compromise their needs, often actively deprioritising them in a bid not to disrupt. It finds that Muslim students regularly feel deprioritised, neglected, and let down, where eventually, they consciously or subconsciously, accept and settle for less in their university experience. We will offer critical reflections and recommendations for academic and professional services staff on how they can do more to empower, listen-to and act on the Muslim student voice, in a bid to achieve true racial and religious equity on campus.

description: How much is the h-index of an editor of a well ranked journal improved due to citations which occur after his or her appointment? Scientific recognition within academia is widely measured nowadays by the number of citations or h-index. Our dataset is based on a sample of four editors from a well ranked journal (impact factor - IF - greater than 2). The target group consists of two editors who seem to benefit by their position through an increased citation number (and subsequently h-index) within journal. The total amount of citations for the target group is bigger than 600. The control group is formed by another set of two editors from the same journal whose relations between their positions and their citation records remain neutral. The total amount of citations for the control group is more than 1200. The timespan for which pattern of citations has been studied is 1975-2015.

Vocal, quiet and silent: exploring patterns of student engagement with module evaluation

description: Student evaluations of teaching have multiple purposes. These include public accountability, improvement of teaching and learning, and performance management. Large cohort surveys, such as the National Student Survey, provide valuable information on programme or institutional issues but can lack the granularity required for local action. Module evaluation, on the other hand, seeks student feedback on what Pastore et al. (2019) refer to as the ‘micro’ level of teaching and learning processes and can signal the need to seemingly small-scale activity that can have a significant impact on the student experience. Internal and external monitoring and evaluation emphasise the importance of representative feedback. Hence, low response rates limit the reliability and usability of data for quality assurance and enhancement. The average institutional response rate for module evaluation is 30%. This begs an important question regarding the 70% of students who do not share feedback on how they experienced the module? This presentation draws on analysis of institutional module evaluation data that focuses on three categories of student: the ‘silent’ who do not respond to surveys, the ‘quiet’ who respond but don’t leave free text comments and the ‘vocal’ who take the opportunity to leave comments. Ostensibly, this last group are most engaged, albeit that engagement may be driven by either praise for the university or criticism. Analysis of these three categories by various student characteristics indicates that some groups of students may be more likely to engage than others. Analysis of satisfaction data for the ‘quiet’ and ‘vocal’ groups suggests that there is relationship between engagement and satisfaction. Further, to better understand students’ behaviour and motivation, additional analyses of how students engaged following prompts and reminders was undertaken. Reflecting on the differential responses of silent, quiet and vocal students, this presentation will explore mechanisms on how institutions can target students to maximise engagement.

New face of library spaces

description: LJMU Library spaces are evolving, changing from the traditional self-learning spaces to interactive and inclusive spaces, providing a resource not only for LJMU students but also for the wider community. Summer 2022 saw the development of the new Children's Reading Corner on the ground floor of Aldham Robarts Library housing the Literacy Development Collection. The primary aim of this area is to support students on the Initial Trainee Teacher programmes with the pedagogy of reading for primary age children, whilst replicating a school library. However, in fulfilling this need the space has also opened up new opportunities for community engagement and widening participation. Our talk will detail how this space, the Literacy Development Collection and our Special Collections and Archives have been used for activities to support ITT training, including author talks, how to read to younger children, practical sessions using artefacts to develop imagination, storytelling and writing in the classroom, and even using meditation and reflexology with literature to promote wellbeing in young children. Interactive workshops with children from the national mentoring and education charity, ReachOut have also taken place with the participants being encouraged to find inspiration from the materials to create their own bookmarks and zines.

description: Hegyvári and Hennecart showed that if $B$ is a sufficiently large brick of a Heisenberg group, then the product set $B\cdot B$ contains many cosets of the center of the group. We give a new, robust proof of this theorem that extends to all extra special groups as well as to a large family of quasigroups.

Enhancing students’ sense of belonging by supporting attendance and engagement

description: Attendance and engagement are vital for students to successfully complete their Programme of study and get the most out of their time at university. Education is tremendously powerful at transforming lives and futures. This talk addresses the key values of Education and Student Experience from LJMU’s strategy and relates to providing responsive support to students. In this talk, we will discuss a pilot initiative within the Faculty of Education and Technology aimed at supporting student attendance and engagement, and hence attainment. The aim of the initiative is to boost students’ feelings of belonging within their School and Faculty community, encouraging them to engage or re-engage with their learning, and to get the most out of their time here with us at LJMU. One anticipated benefit is the improvement of student retention. A key strand of this work has focused on contacting students who missed an exam during the assessment period. Students were phoned as soon as possible after missing an exam, with students who had one or more additional exams during the assessment period prioritized for earlier contact. Students were reminded of the date of their next exam and told how to submit Personal Circumstances claims, if required. Students were also signposted to support from Student Advice and Wellbeing and made aware of the drop-in sessions. A follow-up e-mail was sent summarizing the information discussed. Many of the students I spoke to expressed thanks that I had contacted them and said that it was nice to feel that the University cared about them. An important consideration was to encourage students to speak to their Module Leaders, Programme Leaders or personal tutors so they were informed about their options and did not feel as though the only course of action open to them was to withdraw. This was important, as we want to support students to stay on their Programmes to reap the maximum rewards for the time they invest in studying.

description: At JMSU we have seen tremendous growth in our Student Group student numbers throughout this last academic year. Many of our student group members and committee members develop a range of skills and there are examples of some excellent practice throughout LJMU. We want to shine a light on a few examples of our student groups and sports members to demonstrate the employability skills that are learned throughout student group membership. This will be an opportunity for colleagues to: • Understand what opportunities currently exist for students to engage with student group activity • Promote the opportunities to your student communities • Consider opportunities which may exist to improve engagement with academic societies and other student group activity that will compliment learning inside and outside the classroom Our VP Activities Clodagh will be sharing some of the activity that has taken place through “Challenge Clodagh” this year. We hope to collaborate with a number of colleagues from Student Futures along with academic colleagues to shine a light on the benefits of student group membership and our vast array of student leadership roles.

description: Our international student community are diverse, brilliant and bring a wealth of culture to LJMU. Following some really engaging JMSU led events and campaigns, we have been able to gain some useful insight that will help colleagues and service teams support and communicate with our international students. In some ways this session will be a helpful guide based on student feedback from the International Student community throughout this academic year which will include Marie’s Winter Break and Gaby’s Nationalities Connected Week. The session will cover some examples of great activities and initiatives that have received both strong engagement and positive feedback. We will offer some time to discuss and explore our guidance further along with some useful tips specifically aimed at creating the most effective dialogue with our diverse international student community from an evidence based approach. We will cover what we have learned and will look to offer some specific areas where we believe LJMU could improve.
