title: An investigation of the relationship between curriculum policy and assessment practice in Malaysian classrooms
Creators: name: Abdul Aziz, Azima Binti
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2021

description: This thesis investigates the relationship between policy intent and classroom practice of the recently introduced National Curriculum in Malaysia, KSSR (Standards Curriculum for Primary Schools). It mainly explores the factors related to the development of the new curriculum policy and examines the implications of the model of change for the enactment process of the curriculum in classrooms. The study adopts a case study design, employing a phenomenology perspective within the qualitative interpretive paradigm. Data were obtained through an analysis of policy documents, classroom observations and interviews. The classroom observations involved eight teachers from two primary schools whilst the other interviews involved two officers from the Ministry of Education, two head teachers, and 13 students from the participating schools. Thematic data analysis guided the analysis of the data gathered from the multiple sources. A deductive approach to thematic analysis was employed during the analysis of the policy document while inductive approach was adopted to analysis the interviews. The outcomes from the analysis revealed that there was a discrepancy between the policy intent and teachers’ practices. International education policy has shaped the policy thinking of KSSR curriculum policy through policy-borrowing. Adopting this trend in the policy-making process in Malaysia has not produced the desired outcome. The findings from this study showed that the classroom activities have been primarily orientated towards examinations. Because of that, other activities that can engage students in improving their learning through formative assessment practice have been found ineffective, such as peer and self-assessment as well as feedback interaction. The top-down, mandated policy has contributed to the discrepancy which has affected teachers’ beliefs, teachers’ practices and the quality of school leadership. This study provides insights into the discrepancy that exists between policy and practice in Malaysian classrooms. This phenomenon is attributed to the ineffectiveness of a systemic change that involves different people that have their specific roles in the process. Innovative changes integrated in the policy needs to be deeply understood by every individual who is directly or indirectly involved in the process, for it is difficult to see real changes happen if any of these individuals move in a different direction from the aim of the curriculum. For this to happen, innovation needs to be designed for sustainable development through being based on the notion of collaborative practice to build in different perspectives from different communities (Gardner et al., 2010).

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: System and network security

description: INTRODUCTION: Cyber Threat Hunting (TH) is the activity of looking for potential compromises that other cyber defenses may have missed. These compromises cost organiza- tions an estimated $10M each and an effective Threat Hunt can reduce this cost. TH is a new discipline and processes have not yet been standardized. Most TH teams operate with no defined process. This is a problem as repeatable processes are important for a mature TH team. OBJECTIVES: This thesis offers a Threat Hunt process as well as lessons learned derived from government TH practice. METHODS: To achieve this I conducted 12 interviews, 1 hour in length, with govern- ment threat hunters. The transcripts of these interviews were analyzed with process and thematic coding. The coding was validated with a second reviewer. RESULTS: I present a novel TH process depicting the process followed by government threat hunters. Common challenges and suggested solutions brought up by threat hunters were also enumerated and described. The most common problems were minimal automation and missing measures of TH expertise. Challenges with open questions were also identified. Open questions include: determining how to identify the best data to collect, how to create a specific but not rigid process and how to measure and compare the effectiveness of TH pro- cesses. Finally, subjects also provided features that indicate expertise to TH team members and recommendations on how to best integrate newer members into a TH team. CONCLUSION: This thesis offers a first look at government TH processes. In the short term, the process recommendations provided in this thesis can be implemented and tested. In the long term, experiments in this sensitive context remain an open challenge.

description: The subject of this PhD will analyse the collaborative process within a creative team and the practice of writing as research when it explores a new medium under emergence, in this case webcomics. As the project is concerned with the transposition of my trilogy of novels, I assumed the responsibilities of translating the prose into script and creating the story boarding. After the first brainstorming session with the illustrator on panels design and flow, changes are negotiated by the team and worked by the artist in the final draft of the panels. It is important to note that, while the illustrator’s input is a vital part of this project, choices concerning the structure and the narrative of the project are in the hands of the author. The research project will take into consideration the dynamics of such partnership and how the loop of creating and feedbacking challenges previously established creative processes while it helps to set new ones. Similarly, as the project has taken the shape of a webcomic, the behaviour of online readers and their response to the content will be monitored through tracking tools on media platforms to see if and to what extent (likes, shares, visit prior posts) readers interact, thus affecting dissemination. This project will research how modern politics, historical events (the Italian Years of Lead) and attitudes feed the narrative, and show how these are balanced and blended with fictional elements. It will also take into consideration the inner mechanisms of both genre and medium as tools capable of dissecting, analysing, and offer alternatives to the questions asked by the contemporary discourse. Finally, as an Italian/English bilingual Fantasy writer, I will reflect on how writing in English has actively shaped my work and argue that my conscious decision to write in English aims at placing my work within the British comic books’ tradition. This choice is also motivated by the lack of an Italian academic tradition in studying creative writing and genres other than literary fiction.
Impact Mitigation Properties and Mechanical Material Characterization of Women's Lacrosse Headgears at Ambient and Cold Temperatures

description: The rate of concussion in women’s lacrosse is alarmingly high despite the sport being non-contact. Conflicting opinions on the potential effectiveness of helmet use in the sport led to the development of an ASTM standard in 2015 for optional headgear. These headgears are unique to most other head protection in that they do not have a hard outer shell because it could endanger players that choose not to wear the optional headgear. Because these headgears are so new and have unique design constraints, there is still much to learn about their ability to protect the players wearing them. The purpose of this research was to determine the impact mitigation properties of two commercially available women’s lacrosse headgears (the Cascade LX and the Hummingbird v2) across a variety of impact types and severities and to incorporate rotational velocity kinematic concussion metrics in impact analysis because of their correlation to brain strains. Because polymers that are commonly used in sports headgears have been shown to exhibit cold temperature hardening, the influence of cold temperatures on the ability of the headgears to mitigate impacts was also studied. Linear impactor and ball impact testing was performed on ambient and cold conditioned headgears. The kinematic concussion metrics peak linear acceleration (PLA), peak rotational acceleration (PRA), peak rotational velocity (PRV), head injury criterion (HIC15), and brain injury criterion (BrIC) were calculated for each impact. Results showed that both headgears were able to significantly reduce all five metrics, but that this reduction was much more subtle for the two rotational velocity metrics (PRV and BrIC). Cold conditioning did not have significant effects on the headgears’ ability to mitigate impacts. Materials that were used in the headgears were then tested in compression at various strain rates and at ambient and cold temperatures to acquire their mechanical characterizations. These characterizations can be used in future finite element analysis studies to more accurately investigate how the headgears are able to protect against concussions through brain strain analysis and to study how much they may endanger other players that are not wearing headgear.
Modeling post-harvest pathogens in apple fruit.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Post-harvest disease of apple fruit causes significant loss of fruit during and after storage with a considerable economic impact. Studying the factors that contribute to post-harvest disease and developing predictive models may help growers and packing house workers to make more informed decisions on disease forecasting and duration of storage for apples. Data for three major post-harvest pathogens, Penicillium expansum, Botrytis cinerea and Mucor piriformis, which were monitored and quantified in four orchards over three years during the growing season and then in storage, were available. Contrary to expectation, it was found that environmental data provided little to no explanation of the trends in inoculum detection. It was hypothesized that this lack of relationship between the amount of inoculum present and the environmental factors was due to the manner in which the data were collected. In contrast, it was found that a large proportion of the variation in storage disease outcomes (R2=0.506, p=0.000) could be predicted by the duration of storage, temperature and rainfall two weeks before storage, and the quantity of pathogen DNA detected on the plant tissue at harvest. In order to better understand the relationship between environmental factors and spore detection in the orchard, a Gaussian plume model was developed for describing spore dispersal. Model results had good qualitative agreement with the data that were collected in the field, suggesting that a high level of variability would be expected when only using one receptor location due to the dynamics of spore movement based on wind conditions. The model predicted that increasing the number of receptors, especially when they were evenly placed around the orchard, would decrease the variability of detection results. Based on the model outcomes, it was concluded that five receptors would give the most reasonable results for the least expenditure. This research develops the first predictive model for post-harvest apple disease outcomes in storage based on pre-storage factors, and gives new insight into the dispersal of fungal spores in an orchard setting, providing recommendations for improving future data collection and modeling work.

description: Background During the past two decades, three novel coronaviruses (CoVs) have emerged to cause international human epidemics with severe morbidity. CoVs have also emerged to cause severe epidemics in animals. A better understanding of the natural hosts and genetic diversity of CoVs are needed to help mitigate these threats. Objective To design and evaluate a molecular diagnostic tool for detection and identification of all currently recognized and potentially future emergent CoVs from the Orthocoronavirinae subfamily. Study design and results We designed a semi-nested, reverse transcription RT-PCR assay based upon 38 published genome sequences of human and animal CoVs. We evaluated this assay with 14 human and animal CoVs and 11 other non-CoV respiratory viruses. Through sequencing the assay's target amplicon, the assay correctly identified each of the CoVs; no cross-reactivity with 11 common respiratory viruses was observed. The limits of detection ranged from 4 to 4 × 102 copies/reaction, depending on the CoV species tested. To assess the assay's clinical performance, we tested a large panel of previously studied specimens: 192 human respiratory specimens from pneumonia patients, 5 clinical specimens from COVID-19 patients, 81 poultry oral secretion specimens, 109 pig slurry specimens, and 31 aerosol samples from a live bird market. The amplicons of all RT-PCR-positive samples were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Our assay performed well with all tested specimens across all sample types. Conclusions This assay can be used for detection and identification of all previously recognized CoVs, including SARS-CoV-2, and potentially any emergent CoVs in the Orthocoronavirinae subfamily.

description: Wilson chains, based on a logarithmic discretization of a continuous spectrum, are widely used to model an electronic (or bosonic) bath for Kondo spins and other quantum impurities within the numerical renormalization group method and other numerical approaches. In this short note we point out that Wilson chains can not serve as thermal reservoirs as their temperature changes by a number of order Delta E when a finite amount of energy Delta E is added. This proves that for a large class of non-equilibrium problems they cannot be used to predict the long-time behavior.

description: Aims. The detection and measurement of gravitational-waves from coalescing neutron-star binary systems is an important science goal for ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. In addition to emitting gravitational-waves at frequencies that span the most sensitive bands of the LIGO and Virgo detectors, these sources are also amongst the most likely to produce an electromagnetic counterpart to the gravitational-wave emission. A joint detection of the gravitational-wave and electromagnetic signals would provide a powerful new probe for astronomy. Methods. During the period between September 19 and October 20, 2010, the first low-latency search for gravitational-waves from binary inspirals in LIGO and Virgo data was conducted. The resulting triggers were sent to electromagnetic observatories for followup. We describe the generation and processing of the low-latency gravitational-wave triggers. The results of the electromagnetic image analysis will be described elsewhere. Results. Over the course of the science run, three gravitational-wave triggers passed all of the low-latency selection cuts. Of these, one was followed up by several of our observational partners. Analysis of the gravitational-wave data leads to an estimated false alarm rate of once every 6.4 days, falling far short of the requirement for a detection based solely on gravitational-wave data.

description: Sanctuary, Purgatory is the result of research in South Korea on a small group of Yemeni refugees who arrived there in 2018. The com- pleted project is a short documentary film that combines elements of cinema verite while also incorporating elements of the personal documentary. Interviews, verite footage, archives, and video conferencing footage from Zoom create the visual language of the film. The film focuses on one Yemeni refugee named Omar Alwahaishi who is stuck in South Korea on a temporary visa, while his wife and kids remain in Yemen and his parents are living in the United States. Themes of the film include migration, refugee issues, human rights, friendship, family reunification. The project also brings into questions about filmmakers inserting themselves into the frame of the documentary and issues around the boundaries between filmmakers and protagonists. The film is presented and viewed through an installation at the Stamps Gallery on the campus of the University of Michigan. The installation is an enclosed theater space that allows viewers an unobstructed manner to watch the film. The film is followed by a pre-recorded Q and A led by Angela Yoonjeong McClean a postdoctoral fellow in Sociology at the Nam Center for Korean Studies at the University of Michigan, whose research interests include international and forced migration and includes myself, Omar Alwahaishi, and Il Lee. The film is 36 minutes and the Q and A is 24 minutes long for a one-hour viewing experience. This thesis paper will include a discussion of the historical, political, cultural, and creative contexts of my project. I will also discuss my process and methodology and reflections on the experience of creating this project.

description: Recently a local mean field theory for both eqilibrium and transport properties of the Coulomb glass was proposed [A. Amir et al., Phys. Rev. B 77, 165207 (2008); 80, 245214 (2009)]. We compare the predictions of this theory to the results of dynamic Monte Carlo simulations. In a thermal equilibrium state we compare the density of states and the occupation probabilities. We also study the transition rates between different states and find that the mean field rates underestimate a certain class of important transitions. We propose modified rates to be used in the mean field approach which take into account correlations at the minimal level in the sense that transitions are only to take place from an occupied to an empty site. We show that this modification accounts for most of the difference between the mean field and Monte Carlo rates. The linear response conductance is shown to exhibit the Efros-Shklovskii behaviour in both the mean field and Monte Carlo approaches, but the mean field method strongly underestimates the current at low temperatures. When using the modified rates better agreement is achieved.

Molecular genetic characterization of retinoblastoma tumors lacking RB1 mutations
Creators: name: Kennett, Jennifer Yvonne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Retinoblastoma is a rare childhood cancer of the retina and is the most common intraocular tumor in children. Classically, retinoblastoma results from biallelic loss of the RB1 tumor suppressor gene. As with other cancer types, dysregulation of a single gene alone is not considered sufficient for complete transformation to malignancy. Frequent regions of genetic alteration harbouring additional genes, implicated in retinoblastoma oncogenesis and progression, include chromosomes 1q, 2p, 6p, 13q and 16q. Sensitive molecular genetic screening techniques are capable of identifying RB1 mutations in 98% of unilateral retinoblastoma tumors. The remaining 2% harbour no identifiable RB1 inactivating alterations, and therefore molecular interrogation of these cases would likely reveal alternative genetic events driving retinoblastoma tumorigenesis in the absence of RB1 inactivation. Towards this objective, in this thesis work, I describe genetic alterations identified by tiling path array comparative genomic hybridization in a rare sample set composed of 23 RB1⁺/⁺ tumors. In addition to gene disruption by copy number alteration, mechanisms of gene disruption resulting in no overall change in copy number or change in copy number with allelic imbalance were also investigated utilizing genome-wide SNP array analysis on five of the RB1⁺/⁺ tumors. The most striking recurrent genetic alteration identified in retinoblastoma tumors lacking RB1 inactivating mutations, was focal high-level MYCN amplification, which occurred at a frequency of approximately 48%. The MYCN amplified RB1⁺/⁺ tumors also exhibited a statistically significant lower proportion of their genome affected by genomic instability when compared with the RB1 ⁻/⁻ tumors. In a subset of five matched tumor and blood normal samples the occurrence of copy neutral LOH was explored, although none was observed. Allele specific copy number analysis identified instances of allelic imbalance, including all five MYCN amplifications. Amplification of MYCN may represent a rare and novel alternate mechanism of retinoblastoma tumorigenesis. This work provides insight into the role of mutational events driving tumorigenesis in retinoblastoma in the absence of RB1 inactivation.

These broader themes are examined through my own personal past, growing up in southern evangelical Christianity, which I offer to the viewer as an intimate record of embodied moments.

description: The Lamb shift results from the coupling of an atom to vacuum fluctuations of quantum fields, so corrections are expected to arise when the spacetime is curved since the vacuum fluctuations are modified by the presence of spacetime curvature. Here, we calculate the curvature-induced correction to the Lamb shift outside a spherically symmetric object and demonstrate that this correction can be remarkably significant outside a compact massive astrophysical body. For instance, for a neutron star or a stellar mass black hole, the correction is $\sim$ 25% at a radial distance of $4GM/c^2$, $\sim$ 16% at $10GM/c^2$ and as large as $\sim$ 1.6% even at $100GM/c^2$, where $M$ is the mass of the object, $G$ the Newtonian constant, and $c$ the speed of light. In principle, we can look at the spectra from a distant compact super-massive body to find such corrections. Therefore, our results suggest a possible way of detecting fundamental quantum effects in astronomical observations.

description: 2,4-Disubstituted quinoline derivatives were designed based on a 3D-QSAR study, synthesized and evaluated for antimalarial activity. A large dataset of 178 quinoline derivatives was used to perform a 3D-QSAR study using CoMFA and CoMSIA models. PLS analysis provided statistically validated results for CoMFA (r2ncv = 0.969, q2 = 0.677, r2cv = 0.682) and CoMSIA (r2ncv = 0.962, q2 = 0.741, r2cv = 0.683) models. Two series of a total of 40 2,4-disubstituted quinoline derivatives were designed with amide (quinoline-4-carboxamide) and secondary amine (4-aminoquinoline) linkers at the -C4 position of the quinoline ring. For the purpose of selecting better compounds for synthesis with good pEC50 values, activity prediction was carried out using CoMFA and CoMSIA models. Finally, a total of 10 2,4-disubstituted quinoline derivatives were synthesized, and screened for their antimalarial activity based on the reduction of parasitaemia. Compound #5 with amide linker and compound #19 with secondary amine linkers at the -C4 position of the quinoline ring showed maximum reductions of 64% and 57%, respectively, in the level of parasitaemia. In vivo screening assay confirmed and validated the findings of the 3D-QSAR study for the design of quinoline derivatives.

description: Permeable Bodies is a body of work exploring the potential for catharsis from trauma within the aesthetics of violence while unpacking notions of the house in horror. The summer between my first and second year of my MFA many things happened. COVID hit, my partner and I bought a house and I found out I was pregnant. These mingled circumstances meant that I was to quarantine in my house in Pittsburgh for my thesis year. This provided a rich context for me to understand, embody and unpack the context of domestic within horror movies as well as how the female body is rep- resented in horror through the tropes of Final Girl, The Bad Mom and horrors of pregnancy. My pregnancy opened me up to the reflections of myself that I saw in these representations and made me receptive to exploring the vulnerability of my painful history of sexual assault and its surprising impact on my relationship to the genre of horror.

description: [abridged] We introduce the Phoenix Project, a set of $Λ$CDM simulations of the dark matter component of nine rich galaxy clusters. Each cluster is simulated at least at two different numerical resolutions. For eight of them, the highest resolution corresponds to $\sim 130$ million particles within the virial radius, while for one this number is over one billion. We study the structure and substructure of these systems and contrast them with six galaxy-sized dark matter haloes from the Aquarius Project, simulated at comparable resolution. This comparison highlights the approximate mass invariance of CDM halo structure and substructure. We find little difference in the spherically-averaged mass, pseudo-phase-space density, and velocity anisotropy profiles of Aquarius and Phoenix haloes. When scaled to the virial properties of the host halo, the abundance and radial distribution of subhaloes are also very similar, despite the fact that Aquarius and Phoenix haloes differ by roughly three decades in virial mass. The most notable difference is that cluster haloes have been assembled more recently and are thus significantly less relaxed than galaxy haloes, which leads to decreased regularity, increased halo-to-halo scatter and sizable deviations from the mean trends. This accentuates the effects of the strong asphericity of individual clusters on surface density profiles, which may vary by up to a factor of three at a given radius, depending on projection. The high apparent concentration reported for some strong-lensing clusters might very well reflect these effects. A more recent assembly also explains why substructure in some Phoenix haloes is slightly more abundant than in Aquarius, especially in the inner regions. Resolved subhaloes nevertheless contribute only $11 \pm 3%$ of the virial mass in Phoenix clusters. .

description: We develop a quantum replica method for interacting particle systems and use it to estimate the location of the glass transition line in Helium 4. Although we do not fully succeed in taking into account all quantum effects, we make a thorough semiclassical analysis. We confirm previous suggestions that quantum fluctuations promote the formation of the glass and give a quantitative estimate of this effect at high density. Finally, we discuss the difficulties that are met when one tries to extend the calculation to the region of low densities and low temperatures, where quantum effects are strong and the semiclassical expansion breaks down.

description: The photometric properties of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the near-infrared as garnered from observations made over the last 30 years are reviewed. During this period, light curves for more than 120 nearby SNe Ia have been published, revealing considerable homogeneity but also some fascinating differences. These data have confirmed that, for all but the fastest declining objects, SNe Ia are essentially perfect standard candles in the near-infrared, displaying only a slight dependence of peak luminosity on decline rate and color.

description: The numerical properties of algorithms for finding the intersection of sets depend to some extent on the regularity of the sets, but even more importantly on the regularity of the intersection. The alternating projection algorithm of von Neumann has been shown to converge locally at a linear rate dependent on the regularity modulus of the intersection. In many applications, however, the sets in question come from inexact measurements that are matched to idealized models. It is unlikely that any such problems in applications will enjoy metrically regular intersection, let alone set intersection. We explore a regularization strategy that generates an intersection with the desired regularity properties. The regularization, however, can lead to a significant increase in computational complexity. In a further refinement, we investigate and prove linear convergence of an approximate alternating projection algorithm. The analysis provides a regularization strategy that fits naturally with many ill-posed inverse problems, and a mathematically sound stopping criterion for extrapolated, approximate algorithms. The theory is demonstrated on the phase retrieval problem with experimental data. The conventional early termination applied in practice to unregularized, consistent problems in diffraction imaging can be justified fully in the framework of this analysis providing, for the first time, proof of convergence of alternating approximate projections for finite dimensional, consistent phase retrieval problems.

description: We study conformal coupling of dark spinor fields to gravity and calculate the energy density and the pressure of the spinor in FRW spacetime. We consider the renormalizable potential of the spinor field. In the cases where the field is proportional to some power of the cosmic scale factor $a(t)$, we determine the Hubble parameter as a function of the scale factor and find analytic solutions for $a(t)$ when the spinor field matter dilutes as the universe expands. We discuss the possibility that both matter- and dark energy-dominated eras of our universe can be described by the dark spinor.

description: The exhibition finding the shape of the overlap and its documents present a methodology to eliminate binaries between fine art and craft, stereotypes of masculine and feminine, and distinctions between excessive and necessary. This methodology is formed through a new feminist framework in which to view the history of abstract sculpture through the combination of Material Engagement Theory and Queer Phenomenology, which emphasizes the body as a point of reference, and alternative ways of knowing and learning.

description: In this article we study the quantization and causal properties of a massive spin 3/2 Rarita-Schwinger field on spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetimes. We construct Zuckerman's universal conserved current and prove that it leads to a positive definite inner product on solutions of the field equation. Based on this inner product, we quantize the Rarita-Schwinger field in terms of a CAR-algebra. The transversal and longitudinal parts constituting the independent on-shell degrees of freedom decouple. We find a Dirac-type equation for the transversal polarizations, ensuring a causal propagation. The equation of motion for the longitudinal part is also of Dirac-type, but with respect to an `effective metric'. We obtain that for all four-dimensional FRW solutions with a matter equation of state p = w rho and w in (-1,1] the light cones of the effective metric are more narrow than the standard cones, which are recovered for the de Sitter case w=-1. In particular, this shows that the propagation of the longitudinal part, although non-standard for w different from -1, is completely causal in cosmological constant, dust and radiation dominated universes.
