description: The recent development of large, complete samples which identify high-redshift galaxies at z~5.7 and z~6.5 from deep, wide-field surveys provides detailed information on the earliest galaxies, their numbers, spatial and kinematic distributions, and implications for early reionization of the IGM. In this contribution we present results of spectroscopic studies of z~5.7 and z~6.5 galaxies identified from our deep, Lyman alpha narrowband and multicolor surveys conducted with the SuprimeCam mosaic CCD camera on the 8.3-m Subaru telescope and observed with the DEIMOS multi-object spectrograph on Keck. The luminosity function of the z~6.5 galaxies is shown to be similar to the luminosity function of the z~5.7 galaxy samples, suggesting that a substantial star-forming population is already in place at z~6.5. Comparisons of both individual and stacked spectra of galaxies in these two samples show that the Lyman alpha emission profiles, equivalent widths, and continuum break strengths do not substantially change over this redshift interval. The wide-field nature of the surveys also permits mapping the large-scale distribution of the high-redshift galaxies in spatial structures extending across individual SuprimeCam fields (~60 Mpc). Field-to-field variations in the number of objects at z~6.5 may shortly be able to place constraints on the porosity of the reionization boundary.

description: Rehabilitation housing models usually account to maximise density by fitting large amounts of people into a small site, without catering to their quality of life and the general comfort of spaces. The "Pratheekshaâ government housing in Trivandrum, Kerala is one such example where a large number of people from the local fishing community of the region were rehabilitated into an inadequate site area after losing their homes in the 2018 âOckhiâ cyclone. This new housing did not consider or prioritise the needs of its user and the climate of the region. Therefore this thesis project aims to better understand the socio-economic and cultural life of these fishing communities and redesign a better social housing model that is more apt to their livelihood and routine. The project focuses on recognising the role of sustainable architecture elements such as courtyards, roofs and permeable membranes in improving the living conditions in a warm and humid climate type.

description: A technique was developed for preparing a novel material that consists of gold nanoparticles trapped within a fiber of unfolded proteins. These fibers are made in an aqueous solution that contains HAuCl4 and the protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA). By changing the ratio of gold to BSA in solution, two different types of outcomes are observed. At lower gold to BSA ratios (30–120), a purple solution results after heating the mixture at 80 ◦C for 4 h. At higher gold to BSA ratios (130–170), a clear solution containing purple fibers results after heating the mixture at 80 ◦C for 4 h. UV–Vis spectroscopy and light scattering techniques show growth in nanocolloid size as gold to BSA ratio rises above 100. Data indicate that, for the higher gold to BSA ratios, the gold is sequestered within the solid material. The material mass, visible by eye, appears to be an aggregation of smaller individual fibers. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy indicate that these fibers are primarily one-dimensional aggregates, which can display some branching, and can be as narrow as 400 nm in size. The likely mechanism for the synthesis of the novel material is discussed.

Ca3Ru2O7 with a bilayered orthorhombic structure is a Mott-like system with a narrow charge gap of 0.1eV. Of a host of unusual physical phenomena revealed in this study, a few are particularly intriguing: (1) a collapse of the c-axis lattice parameter at a metal-nonmetal transition, TMI (=48 K), and a rapid increase of TMI with low uniaxial pressure applied along the c-axis; (2) quantum oscillations in the gapped, nonmetallic state for 20 mK

description: Organizational culture has long been studied in relationship to organizational performance, though this relationship has not been established consistently. Martin (2002) suggested the simultaneous existence of a general culture, and multiple, context-specific subcultures in an organization. Are subcultures simply context-specific reflections of the lar­ger organizational culture? Or do they serve as potential moderators of the relationship between the larger organ­izational culture and organizational performance? To explore this question, we employed ATLAS.ti 6.2 to conduct a content analysis of organizational culture at four United States Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs). Sites were selected purposely based on their performance on 15 clinical measures. At each facility we conducted one-hour telephone interviews of the facility director, the director of primary care, and one full-time primary care physician and nurse. Participants answered questions about the types of clinical performance information they re­ceive, and seek out, the utility of such data, and how they use said information. Each site’s culture was highly distinct. However, despite these differences across sites, the mirror relationship between organizational culture and feedback subculture was present in all four sites, suggesting the subculture is a reflection of the parent culture.
Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory of trapped one-dimensional imbalanced Fermi systems

description: Ground state Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) theory is applied to imbalanced spin-1/2 one-dimensional Fermi systems that are spatially confined by either a harmonic or a hard-wall trapping potential. It has been hoped that such systems, which can be realized using ultracold atomic gases, would exhibit the long-sought-after Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) superfluid phase. The HFB formalism generalizes the standard Bogoliubov quasi-particle transformation, by allowing for Cooper pairing to exist between all possible single-particle states, and accounts for the effects of the inhomogeneous trapping potential as well as the mean-field Hartree potential. This provides an unbiased framework to describe inhomgenous densities and pairing correlations in the FFLO state of a confined 1D gas. In a harmonic trap, numerical minimization of the HFB ground state energy yields a spatially oscillating order parameter reminiscent of the FFLO state. However, we find that this state has almost no imprint in the local fermion densities (consistent with experiments that found no evidence of the FFLO phase). In contrast, for a hard-wall geometry, we find a strong signature of the spatial oscillations of the FFLO pairing amplitude reflected in the local in situ densities. In the hard wall case, the excess spins are strongly localized near regions where there is a node in the pairing amplitude, creating an unmistakeable crystalline modulation of the density.

description: Following Rosner [hep-ph/0312269], we consider B-decay production channels for the exotic I=0 and $I=3/2$ pentaquarks that have been recently reported. We also discuss new search channels for isovector pentaquarks, such as the $Θ^{*++} (\bar s duuu)$, that are generically present in chiral soliton models but were not observed in recent experiments. Futhermore, we argue that weak decays of charmed baryons, such as the $Λ_c^+$ and $Ξ_c^0$, provide another clean way of detecting exotic baryons made of light quarks only. We also discuss discovery channels for charmed pentaquarks, such as the isosinglet $Θ_c^0 (\bar c udud)$, in weak decays of bottom mesons and baryons. Finally, we discuss prospects for inclusive production of pentaquarks in $e^+ e^-$ collisions, with associated production of particles carrying the opposite baryon number.

description: We consider the non-relativistic four-boson system with short-range forces and large scattering length in an effective quantum mechanics approach. We construct the effective interaction potential at leading order in the large scattering length and compute the four-body binding energies using the Yakubovsky equations. Cutoff independence of the four-body binding energies does not require the introduction of a four-body force. This suggests that two- and three-body interactions are sufficient to renormalize the four-body system. We apply the equations to 4He atoms and calculate the binding energy of the 4He tetramer. We observe a correlation between the trimer and tetramer binding energies similar to the Tjon line in nuclear physics. Over the range of binding energies relevant to 4He atoms, the correlation is approximately linear.

Tensionless strings: physical Fock space and higher spin fields

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I study the physical Fock space of the tensionless string theory with perimeter action, exploring its new gauge symmetry algebra. The cancellation of conformal anomaly requires the space-time to be 13-dimensional. All particles are massless and there are no tachyon states in the spectrum. The zero mode conformal operator defines the levels of the physical Fock space. All levels can be classified by the highest Casimir operator W of the little group E(11) for massless particles in 11-dimensions. The ground state is infinitely degenerated and contains massless gauge fields of arbitrary large integer spin, realizing the irreducible representations of E(11) of fixed helicity. The excitation levels realize CSR representations of little group E(11) with an infinite number of helicities. After inspection of the first excitation level, which, as I prove, is a physical null state, I conjecture that all excitation levels are physical null states. In this theory the tensor field of the second rank does not play any distinctive role and therefore one can suggest that in this model there is no gravity.

description: Recent approaches to develop infrared photodetectors characterized by high sensitivities, broadband spectral coverage, easy integration with silicon electronics and low cost have been based on hybrid structures of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and PbS colloidal quantum dots (CQDs). However, to date, such photodetectors have been reported with high sensitivity up to 1.5 $μ$m. Here we extend the spectral coverage of this technology towards 2 $μ$m demonstrating for the first time compelling performance with responsivities 1400 A/W at 1.8 $μ$m with 1V bias and detectivities as high as $10^{12}$ Jones at room temperature. To do this we studied two TMDC materials as a carrier transport layer, tungsten disulfide (WS$_2$) and molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$) and demonstrate that WS$_2$ based hybrid photodetectors outperform those of MoS$_2$ due to a more adequate band alignment that favors carrier transfer from the CQDs.

description: We introduce and study the l1 norm of coherence of assistance both theoretically and operationally. We first provide an upper bound for the l1 norm of coherence of assistance and show a necessary and sufficient condition for the saturation of the upper bound. For two and three dimensional quantum states, the analytical expression of the l1 norm of coherence of assistance is given. Operationally, the mixed quantum coherence can always be increased with the help of another party' s local measurement and one way classical communication since the l1 norm of coherence of assistance, as well as the relative entropy of coherence of assistance, is shown to be strictly larger than the original coherence. The relation between the l1 norm of coherence of assistance and entanglement is revealed. Finally, a comparison between the l1 norm of coherence of assistance and the relative entropy of coherence of assistance is made.

description: The article is the first edition of the article „The Human Right to Housing: Using ATLAS.ti to combine qualitative and quantitative to analyse global discourses“ by Michael Kolocek [2nd version: http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:83-opus4-44166]
description: The paper is part of the author’s PhD research considering the human right to housing. In this exploration, ATLAS.ti is utilized for a global discourse analysis of about 500 States Parties reports and 250 concluding observations of a human rights committee. The author differentiates between two forms of inadequate housing: homelessness and SPaces of Inadequate Housing (SPIH). The Primary Document Family Manager and the Query Tool aid to compare these inadequate housing forms and the responding policies of different states and UN regions. The focus of this paper lies on the description of the Auto Coding Dialog. The paper argues that the Auto Coding Dialog can facilitate dealing with a vast amount of data because it aids to separate the text segments relevant for housing. Additionally, the author illustrates how research findings that have been worked out with ATLAS.ti can be visualized through diffusion maps. These maps give an overview of the different contents of the human right to housing in a global perspective.

description: The impact of global land use and land cover changes in relation to climate change and declining biodiversity has been a subject of interest in the recent years. Nonetheless, there is limited data capturing trends in land use and land cover changes in the Tanganyika catchment. This study characterized the trend in land use/ cover changes and examined the change in sediment and nutrients hotspot areas in the Kalimabenge microcatchment, for the last 40 years. Land use/cover change was quantified and reconstructed by analyzing a series of Landsat images taken in 1973, 1986, and 2010 using the Integrated Land and Water Information System (ILWIS) 3.3 software and field observations. Both supervised and non-supervised classifications were used in the classification of the Landsat images in order to obtain the land use/cover change map. Sediment and nutrient loading into the Kalimabenge micro-catchment were modeled using ArcSWAT software integrated in ArcGIS 9.3. ArcSWAT was calibrated using two years field observations at the river outlet into Lake Tanganyika. Results showed that the dominant land use/covers in the micro-catchment are cultivated land, followed by forest/tree plantations, grassland and built-up area. Grassland/savannah has declined gradually over time, forest/woodlot land increased gradually, built up areas acreage remained quasi similar, cultivated land followed a quadratic trend. The partial sources of sediments, runoff and phosphorous changed for the last 4 decades. These sources areas first decreased in 1986 and then increased in 2010.

description: We have carried out a pilot project to assess the feasibility of using radio, infrared, and X-ray emission to identify young, massive stars located between 1 and 25 pc from the Galactic center. We first compared catalogs compiled from the Very Large Array, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and 2MASS. We identified two massive, young stars: the previously-identified star that is associated with the radio HII region H2, and a newly-identified star that we refer to as CXOGC J174516.1-290315. The infrared spectra of both stars exhibit very strong Br-gamma and He I lines, and resemble those of massive supergiants that have evolved off of the main sequence, but not yet reached the Wolf-Rayet phase. We estimate that each star has a bolometric luminosity >10^6 L_sun. The detection of these two sources in X-rays is surprising, because stars at similar evolutionary states are not uniformly bright X-ray sources. Therefore, we suggest that both stars are in binary systems that contain either OB stars whose winds collide with those of the luminous supergiants, or compact objects that are accreting from the winds of the supergiants. We also identify X-ray emission from a nitrogen-type Wolf-Rayet star and place upper limits on the X-ray luminosities of three more evolved, massive stars that previously have been identified between 1 and 25 pc from Sgr A*. Finally, we briefly discuss the implications that future searches for young stars will have for our understanding of the recent history of star formation near the Galactic center. (abridged)

description: Rain water harvesting (RWH) is described as concentration, collection, storage and use of rain fall via runoff for various purposes such as domestic, livestock and agricultural use. RWH systems can be classified as macro, mini, micro and in-situ. A study was carried out during the 2013/14 cropping season to (1) characterize the soil tillage surface conditions on their runoff generation potential using micro-catchment RWH systems and (2) appraise the micro-catchment RWH systems resulting from different tillage systems on crop performance. For the first objective, a Completely Randomized Block Design comprising of three blocks of runoff/catchment plots measuring 25 m2, 50 m2 and 100 m2 were laid out. Within the same plots/ rainfall catchment, the following four soil surface conditions were imposed: Ploughed with mouldboard surface (PS), Ploughed with mouldboard and un-weeded surface (UP), Ploughed with mouldboard and subsequently harrowed surface (HS) and naturally vegetated surface (NV). At the bottom of the catchment area, a runoff collection system was laid and runoff was measured after every storm event. The second experiment was also a Completely Randomized Block Design with two factors i.e. catchment size (in-situ, 25 m2, 50 m2, and 100 m2) and the four soil tillage surface conditions were repeated but this time a maize crop was planted at the bottom of the slope, such that runoff was collected at the cropped area. Plant performance (growth rate) was assessed fortnightly, by measuring 10 plants’ height of the mid-leaf or growing point, from each plot. The results showed that a 5 x 5 m mouldboard ploughed and un-weeded surface yielded significantly more runoff than other catchment areas and surface condition combinations. With respect to crop performance, a 5 x 5 m catchment whose runoff was directed to a mouldboard ploughed cropped area had a significantly higher growth rate of maize than run-off from other catchment areas and surface condition combinations.

description: This study assessed the socio-economic potential of the Rain Water Harvesting (RWH) techniques for crop production in the semi-arid area of Bobirwa Sub-district, Botswana. The main methods used to collect the data were the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) approaches and researcher-farmer managed field experimentation. The data collected included the constraints to crop production and available ways of conserving soil moisture in the study area. Viability, acceptance and perception of farmers towards RWH technologies in the Sub-district were also assessed. Constraints faced by farmers in arable farming were identified as low and unreliable rainfall, pests and diseases and lack of farm implements (ranked in order of severity). Researcher-farmer managed trials were carried out with various catchment area sizes against a cropped area of 25 m2. Catchment area sizes were 25m2, 50m2, 75m2 and no catchment, resulting in catchment area to cropped area ratios of 1:1, 2:1 3: 1 and 0:1 (a control plot). Randomized Block Design (RBD) with two replicates in each village was used. Soil moisture content results were analyzed using Statistical Analysis Software (SAS Version 9.2), two way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), at 5% level of confidence using Duncan’s comparison method. Gross margins were calculated as the difference between the cost of production and income from the production. Openstat software was used to analyze the gross margins using Scheffes’ comparison at alpha = 0.05. At the end of the trials period, a questionnaire was administered to the selected farmers in order to draw farmer’s perception towards the technology. The results showed that a catchment area to cropped area ratio of 3:1 had significantly higher soil moisture storage (for improved crop growth) compared to 0:1, 1:1 and 2:1 ratios in each village. In the analysis of gross margins, a catchment area to cropped area ratio of 3:1 had a significantly higher gross margin (P= 0.885) of maize compared to 0:1, 1:1 and 2:1. Farmers’ perception interviews showed that farmers had positive views towards the adoption of the RWH technologies. Over 75% of the farmers showed interest towards acceptance and adoption of RWH technologies.

description: Background Limited access to specialized palliative care exposes persons with late-stage Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) to burdensome treatment and unnecessary hospitalization and their caregivers to avoidable strain and financial burden. Addressing this unmet need, the purpose of this study was to conduct a randomized clinical trial (RCT) of the ADRD-Palliative Care (ADRD-PC) program. Methods The study will use a multisite, RCT design and will be set in five geographically diverse US hospitals. Lead investigators and outcome assessors will be masked. The study will use 1:1 randomization of patient-caregiver dyads, and sites will enroll N = 424 dyads of hospitalized patients with late-stage ADRD with their family caregivers. Intervention dyads will receive the ADRD-PC program of (1) dementia-specific palliative care, (2) standardized caregiver education, and (3) transitional care. Control dyads will receive publicly available educational material on dementia caregiving. Outcomes will be measured at 30 days (interim) and 60 days post-discharge. The primary outcome will be 60-day hospital transfers, defined as visits to an emergency department or hospitalization ascertained from health record reviews and caregiver interviews (aim 1). Secondary patient-centered outcomes, ascertained from 30- and 60-day health record reviews and caregiver telephone interviews, will be symptom treatment, symptom control, use of community palliative care or hospice, and new nursing home transitions (aim 2). Secondary caregiver-centered outcomes will be communication about prognosis and goals of care, shared decision-making about hospitalization and other treatments, and caregiver distress (aim 3). Analyses will use intention-to-treat, and pre-specified exploratory analyses will examine the effects of sex as a biologic variable and the GDS stage. Discussion The study results will determine the efficacy of an intervention that addresses the extraordinary public health impact of late-stage ADRD and suffering due to symptom distress, burdensome treatments, and caregiver strain. While many caregivers prioritize comfort in late-stage ADRD, shared decision-making is rare. Hospitalization creates an opportunity for dementia-specific palliative care, and the study findings will inform care redesign to advance comprehensive dementia-specific palliative care plus transitional care.Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04948866.

description: Identifying the maximum level of inherent defense against harmful insects in natural variation among wild lineages of crop plants may result in high yield tolerant varieties and reducing use of chemical insecticides. However, knowledge of natural cotton genotypes with high insect‐resistance is still indistinguishable at the biochemical or molecular level. In the present study, different cultivated Gossypium hirsutum varieties were evaluated for their inherent insect-tolerance against two major cottons chewing pests. The insect bio-assay identified two tolerant and one susceptible cotton varieties. The study demonstrates difference in phenolic acids, proanthocyanidin and tannin accumulation in tolerant and susceptible varieties. The post–infestation of chewing pests increases transcript level of the phenylpropanoid pathway genes were detected in tolerant varieties as compared to the susceptible varieties. Altogether, chewing pest-tolerance level in cotton varieties is the cumulative effect of enhanced phenylpropanoid pathway genes expression and secondary metabolite leading to defense responses to conventional host plant.

description: В учебном пособии рассматриваются отдельные аспекты философско-педагогических тенденций современной системы образования, связанные с появлением метафорического понятия «аборигены и иммигранты цифрового мира». Метафора меняет принципы построения образовательной среды и определяет ее ценностные ориентиры, направленные на изменения педагогических практик, решающих цель передачи накопленного человечеством культурного опыта будущему поколению через систему знаний, умений и навыков с учетом того, что сам процесс подготовки людей к жизни происходит для общества, «которое еще не существует». Основу современных инновационных процессов определяют четыре столпа: учиться жить, познавать, делать и сосуществовать. Тем самым определена новая цель человека XXI века – учиться на протяжении всей жизни, учитывая происходящие изменения и «вызовы» времени, в том числе существующий феномен индивидуализма, влияния СМИ и технологий. Сделан практический обзор интернет-сервисов в контексте их педагогической целесообразности. Предназначено для педагогических, руководящих и иных работников организаций, осуществляющих образовательную деятельность. Пособие будет полезно преподавателям, не имеющим базового педагогического образования, и всем, кто интересуется данной проблематикой.

description: The temperature dependence of the electronic and atomic structure of the colossal magnetoresistive oxides $La_{1-x}Sr_{x}MnO_{3}$ (x = 0.3, 0.4) has been studied using core and valence level photoemission, x-ray absorption and emission, and extended x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. A dramatic and reversible change of the electronic structure is observed on crossing the Curie temperature, including charge localization and spin moment increase of Mn, together with Jahn-Teller distortions, both signatures of polaron formation. Our data are also consistent with a phase-separation scenario.

description: Background Multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs) are products capable of simultaneously addressing multiple sexual and reproductive health needs such as unwanted pregnancy, STIs including HIV-1, and other reproductive tract infections. MPTs are urgently needed to address the double burden of unplanned pregnancy and HIV. While condoms are currently the only accessible MPTs, they are not solely under a woman’s control, and female condoms face limitations due to poor acceptability and high cost. Methods We conducted a sub-analysis of qualitative data from 39 couples participating in the MTN 045 study to examine the perception of couples on choice and acceptability of a “2 in 1” MPT that combines HIV and pregnancy prevention. Results Couples recognized the benefits of MPTs for HIV and pregnancy prevention but perceptions tied to each indication and a novel prevention technology tool raised important concerns relevant to use of future MPTs. In the study, participants’ perceptions of MPT use were influenced by pregnancy planning. When the timing was less critical, they prioritized HIV prevention. Misinformation about family planning methods, including MPTs, affected decision-making with potential to hinder uptake of future MPTs. Concerns about side effects, such as weight gain and hormonal imbalances, influenced willingness to use MPTs. Conclusion Addressing the myths and misconceptions surrounding the use of contraceptives is crucial in promoting their acceptance and ultimate use. Strategies for addressing the drawbacks women might experience while using a particular product should be in place as new MPTs progress through the development pipeline and approach roll-out.

description: The article is the second, revised edition of the article „The Human Right to Housing: Using ATLAS.ti to combine qualitative and quantitative to analyse global discourses“ by Michael Kolocek [2nd version: http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:83-opus4-44166]
description: The paper is part of the author's PhD research considering the human right to housing. In this exploration, ATLAS.ti is utilized for a global discourse analysis of about 500 States Parties reports and 250 concluding observations of a hu­man rights committee. The author differentiates between two forms of inadequate housing: homelessness and SPaces of Inadequate Housing (SPIH). The Primary Document Family Manager and the Query Tool aid to compare these inadequate housing forms and the responding policies of different states and UN regions. The focus of this pa­per lies on the description of the Auto Coding Dialog. The paper argues that the Auto Coding Dialog can facilitate dealing with a vast amount of data because it aids to separate the text segments relevant for housing. Additionally, the author illustrates how research findings that have been worked out with ATLAS.ti can be visualized through dif­fusion maps. These maps give an overview of the different contents of the human right to housing in a global per­spective.

description: We study the properties of coherence concurrence and present a physical explanation analogous to the coherence of assistance. We give an optimal pure state decomposition which attains the coherence concurrence for qubit states. We prove the additivity of coherence concurrence under direct sum operations in another way. Using these results, we calculate analytically the coherence concurrence for X states and show its optimal decompositions. Moreover, we show that the coherence concurrence is exactly twice the convex roof extended negativity of the Schmidt correlated states, thus establishing a direct relation between coherence concurrence and quantum entanglement.

description: We investigate steady state solutions of hydrodynamic traffic models in the absence of any intrinsic inhomogeneity on roads such as on-ramps. It is shown that typical hydrodynamic models possess seven different types of inhomogeneous steady state solutions. The seven solutions include those that have been reported previously only for microscopic models. The characteristic properties of wide jam such as moving velocity of its spatiotemporal pattern and/or out-flux from wide jam are shown to be uniquely determined and thus independent of initial conditions of dynamic evolution. Topological considerations suggest that all of the solutions should be common to a wide class of traffic models. The results are discussed in connection with the universality conjecture for traffic models. Also the prevalence of the limit-cycle solution in a recent study of a microscopic model is explained in this approach.

description: This presentation will share best practices for integrating ATLAS.ti into advanced qualitative research methods courses. During the spring, summer and the current fall 2013 semesters, students were required to use ATLAS.ti as a project management tool for their semester’s work in order to develop the skills they would need to continue its use during the thesis phase of their programs. In these courses students are typically engaged in independent field work projects, in which they are reviewing the literature, collecting data, transcribing, and/or engaging in data analysis. Each of these phases were conducted within ATLAS.ti and shared with the instructor at regular intervals throughout the semester for feedback. By introducing ATLAS.ti during coursework, positioning it as a project management tool in addition to a data analysis tool, and supporting students’ early experiences with its use, we anticipate that these novice researchers will be more likely to continue using the tool to support their work. Suggestions for best practice for this instructional approach will include a focus on how to: provide adequate access and technical support, balance methodological and technical instruction, create meaningful student assignments, and provide effective feedback.
