Practice Changing Practice: Professional Development Program Phase 1 Program Evaluation: Final Report
Creators: name: Attard, Catherine
Publisher: name: Western Sydney University
Year: 2020

description: This report details the findings of a qualitative research evaluation of the Practice Changing Practice professional sustained development program funded by the NSW Department of Education. The program was implemented in 2019 in partnership with the School of Education at Western Sydney University and was open to teachers working in schools that were members of the NSW Department of Education Bungarribee, Quakers Hill and The Ponds networks. The research investigated the ways in which action research, as sustained professional development, assisted in developing a culture of action research at the participating schools. It also explored whether the teachers’ action research was an effective method to improve teacher practice. Data was collected from two groups of participants (teachers and coaches) in the form of questionnaires and individual or group interviews conducted at the start of the program and again on completion of the program. Questionnaire data was collated and analysed using descriptive statistics. The combination of interview and questionnaire data was then analysed to seek responses to the research questions and to identify emerging themes within those responses. Findings reveal that the program promoted the development of school cultures of action research in a variety of ways. According to participants, the program had promoted an evidence-based approach to leadership and teaching, it encouraged the development of critical reflection and gave a sense of agency regarding participants’ ability to cause change through their actions and the actions of others. The program promoted the development of networks and connections within and across schools and with Western Sydney University academics and created a culture of professional discussion informed by current research, providing opportunities for the translation of research into practice. The opportunity to learn about and conduct action research was highly valued by participants, who reported changes to their teaching and leadership skills as a result of their participation in the program.

description: For a continuous flow on a compact metric space, the aim of this paper is to prove a Conley-type decomposition of the strong chain recurrent set. We first discuss in details the main properties of strong chain recurrent sets. We then introduce the notion of strongly stable set as an invariant set which is the intersection of the $ω$-limits of a specific family of nested and definitively invariant neighborhoods of itself. This notion strengthens the one of stable set; moreover, any attractor results strongly stable. We then show that strongly stable sets play the role of attractors in the decomposition of the strong chain recurrent set; indeed, we prove that the strong chain recurrent set coincides with the intersection of all strongly stable sets and their complementaries.

Optimal cost for strengthening or destroying a given network

description: Strengthening or destroying a network is a very important issue in designing resilient networks or in planning attacks against networks including planning strategies to immunize a network against diseases, viruses etc.. Here we develop a method for strengthening or destroying a random network with a minimum cost. We assume a correlation between the cost required to strengthen or destroy a node and the degree of the node. Accordingly, we define a cost function c(k), which is the cost of strengthening or destroying a node with degree k. Using the degrees $k$ in a network and the cost function c(k), we develop a method for defining a list of priorities of degrees, and for choosing the right group of degrees to be strengthened or destroyed that minimizes the total price of strengthening or destroying the entire network. We find that the list of priorities of degrees is universal and independent of the network's degree distribution, for all kinds of random networks. The list of priorities is the same for both strengthening a network and for destroying a network with minimum cost. However, in spite of this similarity there is a difference between their p_c - the critical fraction of nodes that has to be functional, to guarantee the existence of a giant component in the network.

description: Strong gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters is a fundamental tool to study dark matter and constrain the geometry of the Universe. Recently, the Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields programme has allowed a significant improvement of mass and magnification measurements but lensing models still have a residual root mean square between 0.2 arcsec and few arcsec- onds, not yet completely understood. Systematic errors have to be better understood and treated in order to use strong lensing clusters as reliable cosmological probes. We have analysed two simulated Hubble-Frontier-Fields-like clusters from the Hubble Frontier Fields Comparison Challenge, Ares and Hera. We use several estimators (relative bias on magnification, den- sity profiles, ellipticity and orientation) to quantify the goodness of our reconstructions by comparing our multiple models, optimized with the parametric software LENSTOOL , with the input models. We have quantified the impact of systematic errors arising, first, from the choice of different density profiles and configurations and, secondly, from the availability of con- straints (spectroscopic or photometric redshifts, redshift ranges of the background sources) in the parametric modelling of strong lensing galaxy clusters and therefore on the retrieval of cosmological parameters. We find that substructures in the outskirts have a significant im- pact on the position of the multiple images, yielding tighter cosmological contours. The need for wide-field imaging around massive clusters is thus reinforced. We show that competitive cosmological constraints can be obtained also with complex multimodal clusters and that photometric redshifts improve the constraints on cosmological parameters when considering a narrow range of (spectroscopic) redshifts for the sources.

Our analysis of its internal gas dynamics reveals the presence of accelerated motions towards the Orion Nebula Cluster, showing a characteristic blue-shifted profile centred at the position of the OMC-1 South region. The properties of these observed gas motions (profile, extension, and magnitude) are consistent with the expected accelerations for the gravitational collapse of the OMC-1 region and explain both the physical and kinematic structure of this cloud.

description: Editorial. Urban regeneration rests on an integrated and comprehensive vision aimed at solving urban problems and promoting the development of the concerned communities. A reinvention of the way space is perceived, building on culture to breathe new life into historic centres, is a rising civic need and a key challenge for policymakers and city managers. This could be achieved by resting on Cultural Heritage, local knowledge and capabilities to generate new opportunities and civic wealth. It follows that a deep understanding of civic and democratic participation in the access, preservation and exploitation of our Cultural Heritage is fertile ground for debate among scholars from various disciplines. The contributions in this book seek to fuel this debate from the perspective of management scholars.

Editoriale. La rigenerazione urbana si basa su una visione integrata volta a risolvere i problemi urbani e a promuovere lo sviluppo delle comunità interessate. Reiventare lo spazio, valorizzare la cultura per dare nuova vita ai centri storici, è un’esigenza civica crescente e una sfida per i politici e i manager delle città. Questo obiettivo potrebbe essere raggiunto valorizzando il Patrimonio Culturale e i saperi locali per generare nuove opportunità e benessere per i cittadini. Ne deriva che una profonda comprensione della partecipazione civica e democratica nell'accesso, nella conservazione e nello sfruttamento del nostro Patrimonio Culturale è un terreno fertile per il dibattito tra studiosi di varie discipline. I contributi di questo libro cercano di alimentare tale dibattito dal punto di vista degli studiosi di management.

description: ALMA observations of the long wavelength dust continuum are used to estimate the interstellar medium (ISM) masses in a sample of 708 galaxies at z = 0.3 to 4.5 in the COSMOS field. The galaxy sample has known far-infrared luminosities and, hence, star formation rates (SFRs), and stellar masses (M$_{\rm *}$) from the optical-infrared spectrum fitting. The galaxies sample SFRs from the main sequence (MS) to 50 times above the MS. The derived ISM masses are used to determine the dependence of gas mass on redshift, M$_{\rm *}$, and specific SFR (sSFR) relative to the MS. The ISM masses increase approximately 0.63 power of the rate of increase in SFRs with redshift and the 0.32 power of the sSFR/sSFR$_MS$. The SF efficiencies also increase as the 0.36 power of the SFR redshift evolutionary and the 0.7 power of the elevation above the MS; thus the increased activities at early epochs are driven by both increased ISM masses and SF efficiency. Using the derived ISM mass function we estimate the accretion rates of gas required to maintain continuity of the MS evolution ($>100$ \msun yr$^{-1}$ at z $>$ 2.5). Simple power-law dependences are similarly derived for the gas accretion rates. We argue that the overall evolution of galaxies is driven by the rates of gas accretion. The cosmic evolution of total ISM mass is estimated and linked to the evolution of SF and AGN activity at early epochs.

description: The aim of this research paper is to analyse the role of governance models for the creation of civic wealth through recovered cultural heritage (CH). We perform field-based research using the case study method. The case study method is particularly suitable to address our research objective because it allows for conducting an in-depth and exploratory analysis of Governance systems phenomena in relation to CH. We selected the case of the social cooperative “La Paranza”, founded in the Rione Sanità, a neighborhood of Naples, in 2006. We use semi-structured interviews, corporate reports, and secondary sources. The analysis carried out shows how the initiative of a group of young people, rooted in an area that is not favourable for historical and social reasons, under the guidance of a local parish priest and with the initial help of a team of professionals and a funding entity, succeeded in enhancing an entire neighbourhood by focusing on the recovery of the Catacombs of St. Gennaro, as a catalyst for the recovery of the people living in the social space in which they insist. The originality of our study consists in demonstrating that cultural assets, as a ‘new’ category of common goods, no longer become the goal of governance interventions in this sector, but rather a tool for the regeneration of places and, above all, of people, opening to a real civic wealth.

L'obiettivo della ricerca è analizzare il ruolo dei modelli di governance per la creazione di ricchezza civica attraverso il recupero del patrimonio culturale (CH). La ricerca è stata condotta utilizzando il metodo del case study, il quale risulta particolarmente adatto in quanto permette di condurre un'analisi approfondita ed esplorativa dei fenomeni dei sistemi di governance in relazione alla CH. Abbiamo scelto il caso della cooperativa sociale "La Paranza", fondata nel Rione Sanità, un quartiere di Napoli, nel 2006. Abbiamo utilizzato interviste semi-strutturate, report aziendali e fonti secondarie. L'analisi svolta mostra come l'iniziativa di un gruppo di giovani, radicata in un'area poco favorevole per ragioni storiche e sociali, sotto la guida di un parroco locale e con l'aiuto iniziale di un gruppo di professionisti e di un ente finanziatore, sia riuscita a valorizzare un intero quartiere puntando sul recupero delle Catacombe di San Gennaro come catalizzatore per il recupero delle persone che vivono nello spazio sociale circostante. L'originalità del nostro studio consiste nel dimostrare che i beni culturali, in quanto "nuova" categoria di beni comuni, non diventano più l'obiettivo degli interventi di governance del settore, ma piuttosto uno strumento di rigenerazione dei luoghi e, soprattutto, delle persone, aprendo a una vera e propria ricchezza civica.

description: We present near-infrared polarimetric results for N159/N160 star-forming complex, in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with SIRPOL, the polarimeter of the Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF). We separated foreground sources using their visual extinction derived from near-infrared photometric data. The 45 young stellar candidates and 2 high excitation blobs were matched with our sources, and 12 of them showed the high polarization that was not originated from the interstellar dust. We made a polarimetric catalog of 252, 277, and 89 sources at $J$, $H$, and $K_s$ bands, respectively. Based on the ratios of polarization degree among these bands, we verify that the origin of these polarized sources is the dichroic extinction from the aligned interstellar dust by magnetic field and that the ratios follow a power-law dependence of $P_λ$ $\sim$ $λ^{-0.9}$. The linear polarization vectors projected on the H$α$ image of the complex turned out to follow local magnetic field structure. The vector map overlaid on dust and gas emissions shows the close correlation between magnetic field structure and surrounding interstellar medium. We suggest that the derived magnetic field structure supports the sequential formation scenario of the complex.

description: This chapter aims to investigate the role played by a local key stakeholder such as the municipality in activating those mechanisms that allow the creation of civic wealth through the lenses of the theoretical framework of civic wealth creation proposed by Lumpkin and Bacq (2019). The investigation of the case of Urbino (Italy) whose UNESCO management plan has been recently revised has been grounded on a qualitative-driven approach (focused on a case study method, suitable for an exploratory analysis) and using a triangulation of tools to collect information (semi-structured interviews, participating observation and secondary sources). In the attempt to question if and how CH can be a trigger for Civic Wealth Creation in small historical town, our research identifies the role of the Public Administartion as orchestrator or at least stimulator of a participatory approach to the governance of cultural heritage as a driver for creating civic wealth.

Il presente lavoro si propone di indagare il ruolo svolto da uno stakeholder chiave, come l’Amministrazione civica, nell'attivare quei meccanismi che consentono la creazione di ricchezza e benessere (civic wealth) attraverso la lente teorica proposta da Lumpkin e Bacq (2019). L'indagine si focalizza sul caso di Urbino (Italia), il cui piano di gestione UNESCO è stato recentemente aggiornato e adotta un approccio qualitativo (incentrato sul metodo dello studio di caso, adatto ad un'analisi esplorativa) e sull'utilizzo di una triangolazione di strumenti per raccogliere informazioni (interviste semi-strutturate, osservazione partecipante e fonti secondarie). Nel tentativo di capire se e come il patrimonio culturale possa essere un fattore che genera ricchezza nelle piccole città storiche, la nostra ricerca identifica il ruolo significativo dell’amministratore pubblico, quale soggetto promotore di un approccio partecipativo alla governance del patrimonio culturale.

description: We present developments in the calculation of reduced density matrices (RDMs) in the full configuration interaction quantum Monte Carlo (FCIQMC) method. An efficient scheme is described to allow storage of RDMs across distributed memory, thereby allowing their calculation and storage in large basis sets. We demonstrate the calculation of RDMs for general states by using the recently-introduced excited-state FCIQMC approach [J. Chem. Phys. 143, 134117 (2015)] and further introduce calculation of transition density matrices (TDMs) in the method. These approaches are combined to calculate excited-state dipole and transition dipole moments for heteronuclear diatomic molecules, including LiH, BH and MgO, and initiator error is investigated in these quantities.

description: Lyme disease is an emerging tick-borne illness in Canada, with human case numbers increasing 15- to 20-fold since Lyme disease became nationally notifiable in 2009 until the present. In Ontario, Canada's largest province by population, average Lyme disease incidence across the province is similar to that of national estimates. However, in eastern Ontario, which is near tick endemic regions in the northeastern Unites States, Lyme disease incidence is disproportionately higher compared to the rest of the province. The objectives of this thesis are to identify environmental Lyme disease risk areas in Ontario, to explore spatiotemporal trends in Lyme disease emergence, and to identify neighbourhood-level socioecological risk factors for Lyme disease. In addition, this thesis also aims to assess the risk of other tick-borne illnesses that are transmitted by the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, which is also the main vector for Lyme disease in Canada. Using maximum entropy species distribution modelling to correlate blacklegged tick occurrence data with environmental variables, predictive risk models for I. scapularis and the Lyme disease pathogen, Borrelia burgdorferi, were developed. The model prediction was used to classify low and high environment risk areas and, using a case-control epidemiological study, we assessed that residence in risk areas was a strong predictor of Lyme disease. However, this relationship was modulated by socioecological factors linked to higher overall rurality of the locality of home residence. Spatial cluster analyses further revealed that human Lyme disease cases clustered in regions with the high numbers of reported B. burgdorferi-infected ticks in the environment. Many individuals residing in large metropolitan regions, like the City of Ottawa, reported tick exposures outside their public health unit of residence; however, local clusters of Lyme disease were also detected in suburban regions near conservation areas, trails, and urban woodlands. The prevalence of other tick-borne pathogens was low, although several pathogens of public health significance including Borrelia miyamotoi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum were detected at multiple sites surveyed for ticks between 2017-2021. Overall, this thesis identify patterns in Lyme disease emergence (and potentially other tick-borne illnesses), defines environmental risk areas for Lyme disease in Ontario, and highlights important socioecological risk factors for Lyme disease in eastern Ontario.

description: Testing quantum theory on macroscopic scales is a longstanding challenge that might help to revolutionise physics. For example, laboratory tests (such as those anticipated in nanomechanical or biological systems) may look to rule out macroscopic realism: the idea that the properties of macroscopic objects exist objectively and can be non-invasively measured. Such investigations are likely to suffer from i) stringent experimental requirements, ii) marginal statistical significance and iii) logical loopholes. We address all of these problems by refining two tests of macroscopic realism, or `quantum witnesses', and implementing them in a microscopic test on a photonic qubit and qutrit. The first witness heralds the invasiveness of a blind measurement; its maximum violation has been shown to grow with the dimensionality of the system under study. The second witness heralds the invasiveness of a generic quantum operation, and can achieve its maximum violation in any dimension -- it therefore allows for the highest quantum signal-to-noise ratio and most significant refutation of the classical point of view.

description: We investigate mass transfer and the formation of disc in binary systems using a combination of numerical simulations and theory. We consider six models distinguished by binary separation, secondary mass and outflow mechanisms. Each system consists of an asymptotic-giant-branch (AGB) star and an accreting secondary. The AGB star loses its mass via a wind. In one of our six models, the AGB star incurs a short period of outburst. In all cases, the secondary accretes part of the ejected mass and also influences the mass-loss rate of the AGB star. The ejected mass may remain gravitationally bound to the binary system and form a circumbinary disk, or contribute to an accretion disk around the secondary. In other cases, the ejecta will escape the binary system. The accretion rate on to the secondary changes non-linearly with binary separation. In our closest binary simulations, our models exemplify the wind Roche lobe overflow while in our wide binary cases, the mass transfer exhibits Bondi-Hoyle accretion. The morphologies of the outflows in the binary systems are varied. The variety may provide clues to how the late AGB phase influences planetary nebulae shaping. We employ the adaptive-mesh-refinement code ASTROBEAR for our simulations and include ray-tracing, radiation transfer, cooling and dust formation. To attain the highest computational efficiency and the most stable results, all simulations are run in the corotating frame.

description: We investigate a sample of 2293 ICRF2 extragalactic radio-loud sources with accurate positions determined by VLBI, mostly active galactic nuclei (AGN) and quasars, which are cross-matched with optical sources in the first Gaia release (Gaia DR1). The distribution of offsets between the VLBI sources and their optical counterparts is strongly non-Gaussian, with powerful wings extending beyond 1 arcsecond. Limiting our analysis to only high-confidence difference detections, we find (and publish) a list of 188 objects with normalized variances above 12 and offsets below 1 arcsecond. Pan-STARRS stacked and monochromatic images resolve some of these sources indicating the presence of double sources, confusion sources, or pronounced extended structures. Some 89 high-quality objects, however, do not show any perturbations and appear to be star-like single sources, yet displaced by multiples of the expected error from the radio-loud AGN. We conclude that a fraction of luminous AGN (more than 4%) can be physically dislodged from the optical centers of their parent galaxies.

description: This thesis deals with the development of a business model for the delivery of pharmaceutical products and products sold through pharmacies to end customers via delivery agents. At the beginning of this thesis, the terms e-commerce and online marketplace are explained in more detail. The reader of this thesis should get an understanding of the differences between the different forms of these terms. Subsequently, the different forms of business models are presented and explained using examples from the economy. The theoretical part of this thesis concludes with the theoretical development of a persona, a value proposition, and the Business Model Canvas in a further developed form. The practical part of this thesis focuses on secondary and primary market research. An expert survey was conducted from which the most important factors for the Business Model Canvas were collected by means of a pairwise comparison. To support the importance of the pharmacies' statements, the author conducted a survey with end customers and thus confirmed the importance of individual points. At the end of this work, the theoretical business model was adapted and redefined from the acquired knowledge. In the conclusion, the author summarised the work and what, in his view, should be emphasised when implementing such a business idea.
