Relating for learning : teaching to nurture children's spiritual growth : a grounded theory study of New Zealand teachers making students' learning significant in their schooling : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Ph. D. in Education at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The thesis proffers a theory called relating for learning about spiritually nurturing teaching, generated using grounded theory research. Spirituality is defined as that to do with the part of a human being that transcends human life, that is to say, that to do with the soul. The human lifetime is understood as but a phase in the growth of the soul, and, therefore, all of life is a spiritual journey. Knowing is consciousness of relationships in one's life and what is known is always known in relation to oneself. Furthermore, learning, which is understood, in the thesis, to be the means by which human beings come to know and progress through life, is seen as spiritual growth. Teachers, who are in the business of serving others by assisting them with their learning, are in a prime position to nurture their students' spirituality. The call in the New Zealand Health and Physical Well-being curriculum statement for school teachers to tend to the spiritual well-being of their students is therefore appropriate, although the directness of the request is unprecedented in New Zealand schooling history and teachers are unsure of just what it means for their practice. The broad aims of the doctoral research inquiry are to add to existing understandings of the place of spirituality in New Zealand state school education, and to explore the practical implications of the new understandings for teachers and other educationists. 'Continuing the conversation' (Josselson, 1999) about spirituality in education, and about spiritual nurturance in particular, is important at this time when school teachers are overtly expected to tend to students' spiritual well-being. The relating for learning theory is generated from nine practicing teachers' ideas and talk, and observations of the teachers interacting with students. The theory proffers a psychology of teachers relating to students to nurture their spiritual growth. It identifies establishing and maintaining a trusting, learning-directed relationship with each student as essential to effective teaching. The relationship involves the student trusting the teacher as a capable educational leader, and trusting that the teacher respects and cares for the student. The student's trust, in turn, facilitates the teacher gaining the information and conditions required to effectively develop the student as a learner and assist the student to learn the formal curriculum
Mesoscale modeling for the Wind Atlas of South Africa (WASA) project

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

This document reports on the methods used to create and the results of the two numerical wind atlases developed for the Wind Atlas for South Africa (WASA) project. The wind atlases were created using the KAMM-WAsP method and from the output of climate-type simulations of the Weather, Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, respectively. The report is divided into three main parts. In the first part, we document the method used to run the mesoscale simulations and to generalize the WRF model wind climatologies, which was used for the first time in a wind atlas project. The second part compares the results from the numerical wind atlases (NWA) produced by the KAMM-WAsP with that produced with the WRF method, and verifies the two wind atlases from the two methods against the observed wind atlas (OWA) generated from wind observations from the 10 WASA masts. The KAMM-WAsP method was found to underestimate the generalized mean wind speeds at the sites (mean bias of -8.2% and mean absolute bias of 9.3%). In the WRF-based method there is, on average, a difference of 4.7% (either positive or negative) between the WRF-based NWA results and the corresponding observed values. The combined average across all the sites is an over-estimate of 2.5%. The report also documents the variability of the 62 m AGL wind speed at the 10 sites in the seasonal and diurnal time scale and compares it with the WRF-simulated winds.
Impact of Genetic Variants of Apolipoprotein E on Lipid Profile in Patients with Parkinson's Disease

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) seems to involve genetic susceptibility to neurodegeneration. APOE gene has been considered a risk factor for PD. This study aimed to evaluate the association of APOE polymorphism with PD and its influence on lipid profile. We studied 232 PD patients (PD) and 169 individuals without the disease. The studied polymorphism was analyzed by PCR/RFLP. The Fisher's exact test, chi-square, ANOVA, andt-test (P<0.05) were applied. The APOE3/3 genotype was prevalent in PD patients and Controls (P=0.713) followed by APOE3/4 (P=0.772). Both groups showed recommended values for lipid profile, with increase in the values of total cholesterol and LDLc, as well as decreased values of triglycerides in PD patients compared with Controls (P<0.05for all of them). Increased levels of HDLc, in PD patients, were associated with the APOE3/3 versus APOE-/4 genotypes (P=0.012). The APOE polymorphism does not distinguish PD patients from Controls, as opposed to the lipid profile alone or in association with APOE . Furthermore, a relationship between increase of HDLc levels and APOE3 in homozygous was found in PD patients only.

The Influence Of Servant Leadership And Auditor Competence On The Improvement Of Internal Audit Effectiveness With The Creation Of Risk Culture As An Intervening Variable In The Main Inspectorate Of BRIN

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), established in 2021, integrates various research institutions in Indonesia to focus on research and innovation without regulatory duties. This study investigates the impact of servant leadership, auditor competence, and risk culture on the effectiveness of internal audits at BRIN, utilizing a quantitative method with data collected via questionnaires from BRIN's Main Inspectorate. The results indicate that servant leadership significantly influences the creation of a risk culture but not internal audit effectiveness directly. However, auditor competence and risk culture significantly enhance internal audit effectiveness. Additionally, servant leadership indirectly improves internal audit effectiveness through the creation of a risk culture. The study highlights the need for fostering a risk culture and enhancing auditor competence to improve internal audit effectiveness in newly established institutions like BRIN.
Cattle, Common and Northern Cattle Grub Control in Wyoming with TF302 (Crufomate) Pour-On Insecticide, 1977

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract 32% crufomate (Dow Chemical TF302) pour-on was applied on Oct 2277 to Hereford cattle at the University of Wyoming Agriculture Substation, Gillette, Wyoming. Twenty-five mature cows, 17 yearling heifers, and 9 heifer calves were treated at application rates of: 1.0oz/170-250 lb, 1.5 oz/251-350 lb, 2.0 oz/351-450 lb, 2.5 oz/451-550 oz, 3.0 oz/551-750 lb, or 4.0 o;:/751 lb or more. Five cows, 5 yearling heifers, and 9 heifer calves from the same herd were left untreated. Grub numbers were determined by palpation on Feb 3’77andapr 22’77.
The running text is dead: inviting the reader to learn from a bullet-pointed peritext-patchwork textbook

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study investigates the relationship between the running text and the many peritexts commonly found in newer textbooks, along with the associated consequences for textbased learning. The paper is a theoretically driven case study that looks at the textual composition patterns in a language arts textbook for lower secondary schools in Norway. In particular, I investigate how these textual composition patterns facilitate learning from text—a main tool in the text analysis is comparing the signaled intentions in the text with the implied reader's fulfilment. The main finding of the study is that by enriching a textbook with many peritexts that contain essential content, one risks inviting the implied reader to employ a memorization strategy, even though the intention is to invite the implied reader to use deep-comprehension cognitive strategies. This is connected with the lack of running text. Without enough running text to synthesize the content, the running text appears dead, and rather than learning from the text, students are more likely to receive a memorization invitation from the text.
Kingman’s coalescent with erosion

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Consider the Markov process taking values in the partitions of $\\mathbb{N} $ such that each pair of blocks merges at rate one, and each integer is eroded, i.e., becomes a singleton block, at rate $d$. This is a special case of exchangeable fragmentation-coalescence process, called Kingman’s coalescent with erosion. We provide a new construction of the stationary distribution of this process as a sample from a standard flow of bridges. This allows us to give a representation of the asymptotic frequencies of this stationary distribution in terms of a sequence of independent diffusions. Moreover, we introduce a new process valued in the partitions of $\\mathbb{Z} $ called Kingman’s coalescent with immigration, where pairs of blocks coalesce at rate one, and new blocks of size one immigrate according to a Poisson process of intensity $d$. By coupling Kingman’s coalescents with erosion and with immigration, we are able to show that the size of a block chosen uniformly at random from the stationary distribution of the restriction of Kingman’s coalescent with erosion to $\\{1, \\dots , n\\}$ converges as $n\\to \\infty $ to the total progeny of a critical binary branching process.
On Time-Varying Amplitude HGARCH Mode

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The HGARCH model allows long-memory impact in volatilities. A new HGARCH model with time-varying amplitude is considered in this paper. We show the stability of the model as well. A score test is introduced to check the time-varying behavior in amplitude. Some value-at-risk tests are applied to evaluate the forecastings. Simulations are provided which provide further support to the proposed model. We have also have shown the competative performance of our model in forecasting, by compairing it with HGARH and FIGARCH models for some period of SP500 indices.
<title>Physics and image data compression</title>

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We show how several basic image compression methods (predictive coding, transform coding, and pyramid coding) are based on self-similarity, and a 1/f2 power law. Phase transitions often show self-similarity which is characterized by a spectral power law. Natural images often show a self-similarity which is also characterized by a power law spectrum which is near 1/f2. Exploring physical analogs leads to greater unity among current methods of compression and perhaps lead to improved techniques.
Laplace Approximations inBayesian Lifetime Analysis

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract We provide some background on Laplace approximations based on the work by Tierney and Kadane and illustrate the method's use in obtaining posterior distributions as well as the associated parameter estimates in Bayesian lifetime analysis. The advantages and the disadvantages of using this approach compared to other numerical alternatives are also discussed. Finally, a few examples from the relevant literature where the approximation has been successfully employed are provided.
Clinical Outcomes of Preservation of Posterior Leaflet and Subvalvular Structures in Mitral Valve Replacement

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective To summarize our experience and clinical outcomes of preservation of posterior leaflet and subvalvular structures in mitral valve replacement(MVR).Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 1 035 patients who underwent MVR in Beijing An Zhen Hospital from January 2006 to March 2011.There were 562 male patients and 473 female patients with their age of 37-78(53.84±13.13)years old.There were 712 patients with rheumatic valvular heart disease and 323 patients with degenerative valve disease,389 patients with mitral stenosis and 646 patients with mitral regurgitation.No patient had coronary artery disease in this group.For 457 patients in non-preservation group,both leaflets and corresponding chordal excision was performed,while for 578 patients in preservation group,posterior leaflet and subvalvular structures were preserved.There was no statistical difference in demographic and preoperative clinical characteristics between the two groups.Postoperative mortality and morbidity,and left ventricular size and function were compared between the two groups.Results There was no statistical difference in postoperative mortality(2.63% vs.1.21%,P = 0.091)and morbidity(8.53% vs.7.44%,P=0.519)between the non-preservation group and preservation group,except that the rate of left ventricular rupture of non-preservation group was significantly higher than that of preservation group(1.09% vs.0.00%,P=0.012).The average left ventricular end-diastolic dimension(LVEDD) measured by echocardiography 6 months after surgery decreased in both groups,but there was no statistical difference between the two groups.The average left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) 6 months after surgery was significantly improved compared with preoperative average LVEF in both groups.The average LVEF 6 months after surgery in patients with mitral regurgitation in the preservation group was significantly higher than that in non-preservation group(56.00%±3.47% vs.53.00%±3.13%,P = 0.000),and there was no statistical difference in the average LVEF 6 months after surgery in patients with mitral stenosis between the two groups(57.00%±5.58% vs.56.00%±4.79%,P = 0.066).Conclusion Preservation of posterior leaflet and subvalvular structures in MVR is a safe and effective surgical technique to reduce the risk of left ventricle rupture and improve postoperative left ventricular function.
Near-threshold photoelectron angular distributions from two-photon resonant ionisation of He and Ne atoms

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We present an overview of two recent experiments in which photoelectron angular distributions from light-polarised He and Ne atoms are studied, with the emphasis on theoretical description of photoionisation. Polarised He (Ne) atoms are prepared in the 1s4p, 1s5p, or 1s6p (2p53d) states with linearly polarised synchrotron light and ionised with a tunable infrared laser. The asymmetry parameters extracted from the measured velocity map imaging spectra agree well with the calculated asymmetry parameters.
Melamine-Modified Graphene Oxide as a Corrosion Resistance Enhancing Additive for Waterborne Epoxy Resin Coatings

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Waterborne epoxy resin (WEP) coatings are widely used in various fields due to their environmentally friendly properties, yet their corrosion resistance and shielding properties demand further refinement. In this work, melamine-modified graphene oxide (MGO) was synthesized using surface covalent functionalization, and a novel waterborne epoxy/modified graphene oxide coating (WEP/MGO) was prepared. The optimal modification effect was obtained by exploring different proportions of melamine, which led to significant improvements in the corrosion resistance of WEP. Furthermore, the corrosion protection efficiency of WEP/MGO coatings was systematically evaluated by examining the impact of different additions of MGO. The impedance modulus at the lowest frequency was increased from 3.77 × 108 Ω·cm2 of WEP to 2.85 × 109 Ω·cm2 after immersion in 3.5% NaCl for 48 h, when the addition of MGO was 0.1 wt.%. And the corrosion expansion at both the scratch and corrosion spot frequencies of the WEP-coated samples displayed a remarkable attenuation following exposure to salt spray for 300 h. The corrosion resistance and barrier properties of WEP coatings have been considerably enhanced.
Hypothesizing and reasoning about attacks missed by intrusion detection systems

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Several alert correlation methods have been proposed over the past several years to construct high-level attack scenarios from low-level intrusion alerts reported by intrusion detection systems (IDSs). However, all of these methods depend heavily on the underlying IDSs, and cannot deal with attacks missed by IDSs. In order to improve the performance of intrusion alert correlation and reduce the impact of missed attacks, this paper presents a series of techniques to hypothesize and reason about attacks possibly missed by the IDSs. In addition, this paper also discusses techniques to infer attribute values for hypothesized attacks, to validate hypothesized attacks through raw audit data, and to consolidate hypothesized attacks to generate concise attack scenarios. The experimental results in this paper demonstrate the potential of these techniques in building high-level attack scenarios.
Targeting breast and pancreatic cancer metastasis using a dual-cadherin antibody

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The successful application of antibody-based therapeutics in either primary or metastatic cancer depends upon the selection of rare cell surface epitopes that distinguish cancer cells from surrounding normal epithelial cells. By contrast, as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) transit through the bloodstream, they are surrounded by hematopoietic cells with dramatically distinct cell surface proteins, greatly expanding the number of targetable epitopes. Here, we show that an antibody (23C6) against cadherin proteins effectively suppresses blood-borne metastasis in mouse isogenic and xenograft models of triple negative breast and pancreatic cancers. The 23C6 antibody is remarkable in that it recognizes both the epithelial E-cadherin (CDH1) and mesenchymal OB-cadherin (CDH11), thus overcoming considerable heterogeneity across tumor cells. Despite its efficacy against single cells in circulation, the antibody does not suppress primary tumor formation, nor does it elicit detectable toxicity in normal epithelial organs, where cadherins may be engaged within intercellular junctions and hence inaccessible for antibody binding. Antibody-mediated suppression of metastasis is comparable in matched immunocompetent and immunodeficient mouse models. Together, these studies raise the possibility of antibody targeting CTCs within the vasculature, thereby suppressing blood-borne metastasis.
Self-Healing of Recombinant Spider Silk Gel and Coating

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Self-healing properties, originating from the natural healing process, are highly desirable for the fitness-enhancing functionality of biomimetic materials. Herein, we fabricated the biomimetic recombinant spider silk by genetic engineering, in which Escherichia coli (E. coli) was employed as a heterologous expression host. The self-assembled recombinant spider silk hydrogel was obtained through the dialysis process (purity > 85%). The recombinant spider silk hydrogel with a storage modulus of ~250 Pa demonstrated autonomous self-healing and high strain-sensitive properties (critical strain ~50%) at 25 °C. The in situ small-angle X-ray scattering (in situ SAXS) analyses revealed that the self-healing mechanism was associated with the stick-slip behavior of the β-sheet nanocrystals (each of ~2–4 nm) based on the slope variation (i.e., ~−0.4 at 100%/200% strains, and ~−0.9 at 1% strain) of SAXS curves in the high q-range. The self-healing phenomenon may occur through the rupture and reformation of the reversible hydrogen bonding within the β-sheet nanocrystals. Furthermore, the recombinant spider silk as a dry coating material demonstrated self-healing under humidity as well as cell affinity. The electrical conductivity of the dry silk coating was ~0.4 mS/m. Neural stem cells (NSCs) proliferated on the coated surface and showed a 2.3-fold number expansion after 3 days of culture. The biomimetic self-healing recombinant spider silk gel and thinly coated surface may have good potential in biomedical applications.
Structural and non-structural carbohydrates in concentrate supplements of silage-based dairy cow rations. 1. Feed intake and milk production.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A feeding trial was carried out with 64 multiparous dairy cows, in which the effect of type of carbohydrate in concentrate mixtures (starch vs. cell wall constituents) and differences in rumen degradation (fast vs. slow) on feed intake and milk yield were studied. The experiment started immediately after parturition and lasted for 15 wk. The basal diet, which comprised 75% of the total DM intake, consisted of wilted grass silage, maize silage and concentrates. The remaining part of the diet consisted of barley (B), maize (M), pressed ensiled beet pulp (P) or moist ensiled maize bran (MB). All diets were given as totally mixed rations. Total intake of DM and net energy did not differ between diets, but differences were found in energy partition. There was a tendency for cows given diet B to show increased liveweight gain, while cows given P mobilized more body reserves compared with the other treatments. Milk yield did not differ between diets, but milk fat content was higher for diet P. Milk protein content was higher for diets B and M compared with P and MB. The lower protein content of the milk of treatment P can be explained by a longer period of negative energy balance, while the lower milk protein in cows given diet MB probably resulted from reduced microbial protein synthesis.
