Collaborative storytelling in distance education: a preliminary research with pre-school children
Creators: name: Gasparini, Silvia
Publisher: name: Form@re - Open Journal per la formazione in rete
Year: 2021

description: Distance education was adopted in schools in many countries around the world as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020. Especially for pre-school children, distance education presents many critical issues, including children’s sense of isolation and poverty of interactions with peers. In order to overcome these limitations, it is necessary to think about how to redesign didactic activities normally carried out in class without penalizing the relational aspect. This research deals with collaborative storytelling, considered an important tool for the development of emotional, cognitive and social processes as well as a means for media literacy education in children aged 3-6. Specifically, the experiment aims to compare the use of three ways of collaboratively narrating fictional stories in asynchronous mode. Results show that when the children alternate in the roles of author/critic and coordinator/author, stories are more coherent in terms of relationship and continuality of story elements and children’s perception of positive interdependence is greater than in the co-author condition. Lo storytelling collaborativo nell’educazione a distanza: una ricerca preliminare con bambini della scuola dell’infanzia L'educazione a distanza a seguito della pandemia da Covid-19 del 2020 è stata adottata nelle scuole di molti stati. Specialmente per i bambini di età prescolare, questa modalità didattica presenta numerose criticità, fra le quali vengono segnalati il senso di isolamento dei bambini e la povertà delle interazioni fra pari. Al fine di ovviare a questi limiti è necessario pensare a come realizzare a distanza le attività didattiche normalmente svolte in presenza senza penalizzare l’aspetto relazionale. Nella presente ricerca viene affrontato il tema dello storytelling collaborativo, ritenuto un importante strumento di sviluppo per i bambini nella fascia di età 3-6 anni. Nello specifico, l'esperimento si propone di confrontare l’utilizzo di tre modalità alternative di costruire storie di fantasia in forma collaborativa a distanza in modalità asincrona. I risultati dimostrano che quando i bambini si alternano nei ruoli di autore/critico e di coordinatore/autore, le storie risultano più coerenti in termini di relazione e continuità fra gli elementi della storia e la percezione di interdipendenza positiva dei bambini cresce rispetto alla condizione in cui i bambini assumono il ruolo di co-autori della storia.

description: The two-point correlation function (2PCF) is the most widely used tool for quantifying the spatial distribution of galaxies. Since the distribution of galaxies is determined by galaxy formation physics as well as the underlying cosmology, fitting an observed correlation function yields valuable insights into both. The calculation for a 2PCF involves computing pair-wise separations and consequently, the computing time scales quadratically with the number of galaxies. The next-generation galaxy surveys are slated to observe many millions of galaxies, and computing the 2PCF for such surveys would be prohibitively time-consuming. Additionally, modern modelling techniques require the 2PCF to be calculated thousands of times on simulated galaxy catalogues of {\em at least} equal size to the data and would be completely unfeasible for the next generation surveys. Thus, calculating the 2PCF forms a substantial bottleneck in improving our understanding of the fundamental physics of the universe, and we need high-performance software to compute the correlation function. In this paper, we present Corrfunc --- a suite of highly optimised, OpenMP parallel clustering codes. The improved performance of Corrfunc arises from both efficient algorithms as well as software design that suits the underlying hardware of modern CPUs. Corrfunc can compute a wide range of 2-D and 3-D correlation functions in either simulation (Cartesian) space or on-sky coordinates. Corrfunc runs efficiently in both single- and multi-threaded modes and can compute a typical 2-point projected correlation function ($w_p(r_p)$) for ~1 million galaxies within a few seconds on a single thread. Corrfunc is designed to be both user-friendly and fast and is publicly available at https://github.com/manodeep/Corrfunc.

title: Extremal Metric and Topological Properties of Vertex Transitive and Cayley Graphs
Creators: name: Fraser, Jay
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: We shall consider problems in two broad areas of mathematics, namely the area of the degree diameter problem and the area of regular maps.

 In the degree diameter problem we investigate finding graphs as large as possible with a given degree and diameter. Further, we may consider additional properties of such extremal graphs, for example restrictions on the kinds of symmetries that the graph in question exhibits.

 We provide two pieces of research relating to the degree diameter problem. First, we provide a new derivation of the Hoffman-Singleton graph and show that this derivation may be used with minor modification to derive the Bosák graph. Ultimately we show that no further natural modification of the construction we use can derive any other Moore or mixed-Moore graphs. Second, we answer the previously open question of whether the Gómez graphs, which are known to be vertex-transitive, are in addition also Cayley. In doing this, we also generalise the construction of the Gómez graphs and show that the Gómez graphs are the largest graphs for given degree and diameter following the generalised construction.

 We also provide two pieces of research relating to regular maps. We aim to address the related questions of for which triples of parameters k, l and m there exist finite regular maps of face length k, vertex order l and Petrie walk length m. We then address the related question of determining for which n there exist regular maps which are self dual and self Petrie dual which have face length, vertex order and Petrie dual walk length n. We address both questions by constructions of regular maps in fractional linear groups, necessarily leading us to study some interesting related number theoretic questions.
Spin Singlet Mott States and Evidence For Spin Singlet Quantum Condensates of Spin-One Bosons in Lattices

description: We have investigated spin singlet Mott states of spin-one bosons with antiferromagnetic interactions. These spin singlet states do not break rotational symmetry and exhibit remarkably different macroscopic properties compared with nematic Mott states of spin-one bosons. We demonstrate that the dynamics of spin singlet Mott states is fully characterized by even- and odd-class quantum dimer models. The difference between spin singlet Mott states for even and odd numbers of atoms per site can be attributed to a selection rule in the low energy sectors of on-site Hilbert spaces; alternatively, it can also be attributed to an effect of Berry's phases on bosonic Mott states. We also discuss evidence for spin singlet quantum condensate of spin-one atoms. Our main finding is that in a projected spin singlet Hilbert space, the low energy physics of spin-one bosons is fully characterized by a Bose-Hubbard model of interacting spinless bosons carrying charges of Ising gauge fields; the other major finding is spin-charge separation in some one-dimensional Mott states. We propose charge-e spin singlet superfluid for an odd number of atoms per lattice site and charge-2e spin singlet superfluid for an even number of atoms per lattice site in one-dimensional lattices. All discussions in this article are limited to integer numbers of bosons per site.

description: The goal of our work is to review methodologies to analyze value chains, particularly within the agribusiness sector. The first part of the analysis delves into the value chain concept, with the aim of discovering how the concept has changed from an historical perspective, and what would be an acceptable narrow definition. The second and main part of the analysis seeks to study the methodological techniques for approaching and accurately analyzing a value chain in the agribusiness sector. To such end, we will review the literature for different existing methodologies, in order to understand what steps and dimensions should be considered in a value chain study. Finally, we will identify a set of outlines that are common to all the papers obtained from the literature review to help to determine the approaches or points of view that should be considered for an agribusiness value chain analysis.

description: In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), we study the light Higgs-boson radiation off a light-chargino pair in the process e+e- -> h chi^+ chi^- at linear colliders with \sqs=500 GeV. We analyze cross sections in the regions of the MSSM parameter space where the process can not proceed via on-shell production and subsequent decay of either heavier charginos or the pseudoscalar Higgs boson A. Cross sections up to a few fb's are allowed, according to present experimental limits on the Higgs-boson, chargino and sneutrino masses. We also show how a measurement of the process production rate could provide a determination of the Higgs-boson couplings to charginos.

description: This study explored aspects of learning environments that lead to ABSA for academically capable autistic school-aged children with an internalising presentation, and the type of learning environment that would enable them to thrive. As a qualitative explorative study of parental perspectives, this study utilised both an online questionnaire and a reflective self-narrative account. Overall, findings revealed that mainstream school distress is prevalent for this group of autistic learners and is often unrecognized and unsupported resulting in significant impacts on mental health and subsequent school attendance difficulties. It also highlights a provision gap. Four themes captured aspects of mainstream environments that contribute to school anxiety: Fear, Lack of Autonomy, Lack of Connection and Trust, Pressure and Overwhelm. Alignments between Montessori learning environments and ‘what works’ for autistic students were made. Taken together with existing literature, this study highlights an urgent need for action to protect the psychological wellbeing and academic potential of this group of learners. The Montessori environment presents a model for serious consideration in relation to educational equity for autistic children and young people.

description: Factors such as quality, health and price have contributed to improving broiler productivity in Brazil. Modernization and the use of instruments, such as a proper management of birds, health, balanced nutrition, genetic improvement and integrated yield have been researched by companies. Partnerships between industry, automatic systems and broiler farmers also contribute to the technical improvement of the broiler production process, resulting in reduced production costs and increased quality of the final product. In this context, this article aims to analyze the possibilities of autonomation in the context of broiler production. We conducted a qualitative, exploratory and comparative analysis by performing a documentary research. Collected data allowed a comparative analysis of the reduction of losses and increasing revenue (gross revenue). The results refer to two scenarios: (1) an aviary without autonomation; and (2) an autonomated aviary. The results point to an improvement in productivity by the autonomation of the broiler production process.

description: Contradictory experiments have been reported about the dimensionality effect on the charge-density-wave transition in 2H NbSe$_2$. While scanning tunnelling experiments on single layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy measure a charge-density-wave transition temperature in the monolayer similar to the bulk, around 33 K, Raman experiments on exfoliated samples observe a large enhancement of the transition temperature up to 145 K. By employing a non-perturbative approach to deal with anharmonicity, we calculate from first principles the temperature dependence of the phonon spectra both for bulk and monolayer. In both cases, the charge-density-wave transition temperature is estimated as the temperature at which the phonon energy of the mode driving the structural instability vanishes. The obtained transition temperature in the bulk is around 59 K, in rather good agreement with experiments, and it is just slightly increased in the single-layer limit to 73 K, showing the weak dependence of the transition on dimensionality. Environmental factors could motivate the disagreement between the transition temperatures reported by experiments. Our analysis also demonstrates the predominance of ionic fluctuations over electronic ones in the melting of the charge-density-wave order.

description: Shopping is one of the most uniting activities in North America—it is ubiquitous, voracious, and most recently, it is closing down. Online shopping has shuttered ‘brick and mortar’ shops, and has led to the merging of e-commerce with social media, giving rise to the ‘influencer’. This has resulted in individual identity being co-opted by brands to the extent that the two have collapsed into one. Shopping has become so engrained in everyday life that people don’t just buy brands anymore­—brands also buy people. This thesis presents a satyr in which the users and power dynamics of online shopping and social media are projected into physical space.

description: We present a formulation of N=(1,1), Super Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions using a transverse lattice methods that exactly preserves one supersymmetry. First, using a Lagrangian approach we obtain a standard transverse lattice formulation of the Hamiltonian. We then show that the Hamiltonian also can be written discretely as the square of a supercharge and that this produces a different result. Problems associated with the discrete realization of the full supercharge algebra are discussed. Numerically we solve for the bound states of the theory in the large N_c approximation and we find good convergence. We show that the number of fermion and boson massless bound states are closely related. Also we find that this theory admits winding states in the transverse direction and that their masses vary inversely with the winding number.

description: It is an increasingly common practice in schools to propose to children and young people educational activities based on the use of robots to introduce topics such as digital competences, computational thinking and artificial intelligence (AI) education. Although, the potentials of educational robotics are many, we must also ask ourselves what it means today, for a teacher to educate to AI. In this regard, this contribution reports the most significant aspects that emerged from a first exploratory survey aimed at acquiring specific information on the use of robots in relation to AI education. The survey was carried out on a small sample of privileged witnesses belonging to the school. In the face of a recognized impact of robotics experiences on learning, specific attention emerges to what can be done to educate the new generations to be future digital citizens, aware of possible implications of AI in our lives. Robotica educativa ed educazione all’intelligenza artificiale: quali priorità per la scuola?

Sebbene le potenzialità della robotica educativa siano oggi molte, occorre anche chiedersi cosa significa per un insegnante educare all’IA. A questo riguardo, il presente contributo riporta gli aspetti più significativi emersi da una prima indagine esplorativa finalizzata ad acquisire specifiche informazioni sull’utilizzo dei robot in riferimento all’educazione all’IA. L’indagine è stata compiuta su un campione ristretto di testimoni privilegiati appartenenti all’ambito della scuola. A fronte di un riconosciuto impatto delle esperienze di robotica sull’apprendimento, emerge un’attenzione specifica a quello che si può fare per educare le nuove generazioni ad essere futuri cittadini digitali, consapevoli delle possibili implicazioni dell’IA nelle nostre vite.

description: Farmer associations (FAs) in Taiwan and Japan Agricultural (JA) Cooperatives in Japan play an important role in agricultural development. Both have experienced dramatic changes in the macroeconomic environment, and have faced similar management issues. This study focuses on the comparison of operational management efficiency and productivity between the two agricultural institutions in two different countries, focusing on their respective credit departments. Using financial data covered from 2010 to 2014, a Stochastic Metafrontier Regression Model is adopted to explore how operating performances have influenced the productivity of such institutions. Environmental variables such as number of regional financial institutions, regional location, scale of fixed assets, and population density affect inefficiency. With an overall higher number of input and output variables, results show that the average efficiency of credit department within JA Cooperatives when producing output is at 97%, while that of FAs is lower at 90%. Therefore, FAs have more room for efficiency improvement and technological progress.

Εντούτοις, φαίνεται πως απαιτούνται περεταίρω έρευνες για τον έλεγχο της αποτελεσματικότητάς της έναντι των παραδοσιακών γνωστικών-συμπεριφορικών μοντέλων, καθώς και περισσότερες μελέτες στοχευμένες στην ΨΑ
description: The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy model in ‎regards to the diagnosis and treatment of Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa, given the research ‎gaps recorded in the existing body of literature, especially with Anorexia Nervosa. In order to test the ‎hypothesis, a literature review was conducted regarding the existing evidence on the connection ‎between CBT and Feeding Disorders, and in this context the evolving process of the CBT model shall be ‎presented, starting from the CBT-N model designed specifically from Bulimia Nervosa, all the way to the ‎CBT-E transdiagnostic model which incorporates all feeding disorders under one diagnostic procedure. ‎Afterwards, the results of the existing body of literature will be presented regarding the comparative ‎strength of CBT against alternative approaches such as Family Therapy, Psychoanalysis, or Motivational ‎Therapy. Results depict CBT-E as the primary method to effectively and reliably treat Anorexia and ‎Bulimia Nervosa on a systematic basis. Nevertheless, it appears that additional research is required in ‎order to test the effectiveness of this new CBT model against traditional CBT approaches, while more ‎studies targeting AN population are needed to acquire a more comprehensive understanding of the ‎disorder

description: The spin-$\ffh$ resonance effects are studied within the coupled channel effective Lagrangian model for baryon resonance analysis. We extend our previous hadronic calculations to incorporate the $D_{15}$, $F_{15}$, $D_{35}$, $F_{35}$ states. While the effect of the spin-$\ffh$ resonances to the $ηN$, $K Λ$, and $K Σ$ reactions are small, the contribution to the $ωN$ is found to be important. The results for the 'conventional' and Pascalutsa-like spin-$\ffh$ descriptions are discussed. \PACS{{11.80.-m},{13.75.Gx},{14.20.Gk},{13.30.Gk}}

description: The spectral resolution of broadband Fourier-transform coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy is limited by the maximum optical path length difference that can be scanned within a short time in an interferometer. However, alternatives to the Fourier-transform exist which can bypass this limitation with certain assumptions. We apply one such approach to broadband coherent Raman spectroscopy using interferometers with short delay line (low Fourier spectral resolution) and large delay line (high Fourier spectral resolution). With this method, we demonstrate broadband coherent Raman spectroscopy of closely spaced vibrational bands is possible using a short delay line interferometer, with superior spectral resolution to the longer delay line instrument. We discuss how this approach may be particularly useful for more complex Raman spectra, such as those measured from biological samples.
title: Age-related Alterations on Ultrastructure and Gene Expression Profile of the Female Blood-brain Barrier
Creators: name: Frias Anaya, Eduardo
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) breakdown occurs in ageing and neurodegenerative disorders and affects several brain regions including cortex and hippocampus. During ageing, structural and functional changes affecting the main BBB components (brain endothelial cells (BECs), pericytes and astrocytes), appear to be associated with altered expression of genes and microRNAs (miRNAs) potentially related to development, protein synthesis or longevity pathways. However, little is known about the age-related BBB dysfunction in females. In this study, we aimed to assess the relation between ultrastructural and transcriptional changes in the ageing female BBB. A combination of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and 3D reconstruction was used to study microvessel ultrastructure in 6- and 24-month-old female C57BL/6J mice. According to our results, the ageing female BBB shows a significant increase in basement membrane (BM) thickness, volume and number of BEC pseudopods, pericyte mitochondrial volume, pericyte – BEC contact and tight junction (TJ) tortuosity. Also, cortical capillaries appeared to be prominently more affected during ageing than hippocampal capillaries. These results suggest a higher impact of ageing on the cortical BBB in females, promoting changes that lead to a pro-inflammatory state, among other processes. In addition, sequencing results showed that the majority of upregulated genes in the ageing female BBB were involved in inflammation and immune response pathways, whereas the downregulated genes were mostly related to metabolism and signalling pathways. Amongst the age-deregulated mRNAs and miRNAs, miR-144-3p (upregulated) and Dnmt3a (downregulated) were selected for functional analysis in a human BEC line (hCMEC/D3), where their inverse correlation was confirmed. However, DNMT3A, not miR-144-3p, was shown to influence BEC function when deregulated, thereby promoting higher leukocyte adhesion and mRNA levels of adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, VCAM-1) and the chemokine CCL5. Age-induced increase of miR-144-3p appears to modulate DNMT3A expression, but DNMT3A might be independently contributing more to switching BECs into a pro-inflammatory state.

description: This paper describes and analyzes the rationale for concurrent use of different contract farming arrangements (CFAs) by a large agroprocessor. We postulate that plural governance is determined by ambiguity over the best mode of coordination, complexity of transactions and strategic behavior by the agroprocessor. We carried out an in-depth case study of an agroprocessor that has multiple CFAs in the soybean industry in Malawi. We find that ambiguity explains the formation of plural governance structures, but strategic behavior is the main motivation for their persistence. Hence, the study findings unite hitherto opposing schools of thought on the stability of plural forms. The results imply that the incentives and disincentives of agribusiness firms to source through different CFAs should be considered in designing policies and programmes to promote contract farming.

description: Food recalls need to balance speed and completeness, consumer and firm interests and thus meet managerial and social goals. Effective recalls play a vital role in protecting public health and reducing economic consequences. This paper develops a simultaneous equation model to explore the relationships among three effectiveness indicators; discovery time, completion time and recovery rate. A three-stage least square estimator is applied to control for endogeneity among these indicators. The results suggest that higher recovery rates are associated with shorter discovery times. Longer discovery times led to longer completion times. Longer completion times elicited higher recovery rates. Recalls with high risk to human health had shorter discovery times but longer completion times and lower recovery rates. Recalls issued by large plants had shorter discovery times. Large recalls and national distribution channels negatively impacted discovery times. Compared to other stakeholders, government agencies took longer to discover the problem leading to a recall.

description: The secondary $γ$ rays emitted following a nuclear reaction are often relatively straightforward to detect experimentally. Despite the large volume of such data, a practical formalism for describing these $γ$ rays in terms of partial-wave $T$-matrix elements has never been given. The partial-wave formalism is applicable when $R$-matrix methods are used to describe the reaction in question. This paper supplies the needed framework, and it is demonstrated by the application to the ${}^{15}{\rm N}(p,α_1γ){}^{12}{\rm C}$ reaction.

description: Taiwan’s agriculture is again generating local interest after years of decline as awareness of problems facing development and food safety grows. Agriculture-related social entrepreneurship is seen as a crucial solution to the challenges faced and has gradually become part of mainstream business in rural areas. This study examined whether empathy, social responsibility, social capital and support, and social entrepreneurial selfefficacy affect social entrepreneurial intentions. Through an online and offline survey, a sample of Taiwanese agricultural college students (n=464) were recruited for analysis. The factor analyses supported previous studies and proved that the factor structures of subscales used in this study were stable, with the exception of social entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Multiple regression analysis results indicated that management efficacy was the most prominent factor affecting social entrepreneurial conviction, followed by stakeholder perspective and communication efficacy. In addition, management efficacy was the strongest factor affecting social entrepreneurial preparation, followed by stakeholder perspective and affective empathy. Notably, cognitive empathy was revealed to be negatively associated with social entrepreneurial preparation. Social capital and support were found to have no association with social entrepreneurial intentions.

description: The electronic band structure-controlled ultrafast demagnetization mechanism in Co2FexMn1-xSi Heusler alloy is underpinned by systematic variation of composition. We find the spin-flip scattering rate controlled by spin density of states at Fermi level is responsible for non-monotonic variation of ultrafast demagnetization time (τM) with x with a maximum at x = 0.4. Furthermore, Gilbert damping constant exhibits an inverse relationship with τM due to the dominance of inter-band scattering mechanism. This establishes a unified mechanism of ultrafast spin dynamics based on Fermi level position.

description: The use of location-based technology provides a solution to complex, real-world problems for mapping the spatial location of features, planning, and management. The lack of adequate geospatial information on existing lighting facilities impedes works and physical planning departments of Rivers State University to accurately locate and respond to faulty lighting facilities. This prompted the study which is aimed to map the lighting facilities at Rivers State University main campus with the objectives of providing spatial and attribute information of lightening facilities, creation of a functional database of these facilities and identify their operational status. Secondary data such as projected coordinates of identified controls in Northings (m), Easting (m), and Ellipsoidal Heights (m) and shape file of Rivers State University were obtained from the data management unit of the Department of Surveying and Geomatics, Rivers State University. Global Positioning System data collection technique was utilized during field surveys to obtain primary data such as spatial and attributes data of the facilities with the aid of a Unistrong G970iipro RTKDifferential GPS and accessories with 2mm least count. The research noted numbers of functional and non-functional lightening facilities such as solar lights, transformers, electric street lights, among others. The result also showed that the roadways in the study area are well illuminated and have a high level of perceived safety and security at night. However, immediate repair and maintenance of the non-functional electric and solar lights cum providing lightning facilities in noted areas is necessary to ensure adequate lightening of the University main campus premises.
