Cookson, Christopher James. "An investigation into Chinese students' experiences of, and attitudes towards, tutor feedback at a Chinese University." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2015. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/70970/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores formative assessment and feedback in China. The study examined how Chinese students at a university in China experienced different feedback types from their Chinese instructors, and what their attitudes towards those were. A mixed-methods approach, using a self-administered, electronically distributed questionnaire and a semi-structured, one-on-one, face-to-face interview, was employed to this end. A total of 232 students – mostly undergraduates – took part, each of whom completed the questionnaire and 30 of whom were interviewed. A large number of students conveyed an awareness of the formative potential of feedback as well as an expectation towards it playing this role, primarily in terms of learning improvement and being psychologically supportive. Marks and grades were shown to play a dominating and not always unsupportive role. The majority of participants reported overall positive effects of the feedback they were given on aspects of their learning and psychology. However, many felt the feedback they received to be qualitatively as well as quantitatively insufficient. The study aimed to shed light on a research area and geographical context where accounts in English from a Western perspective are limited. The overarching conclusion of the study’s findings is that there appears to be significant convergence between scholars’ and Chinese students’ expectations of effective feedback. A key recommendation for future research is to conduct further studies into students’ perceptions of feedback in non-Western contexts.

Sushkov, Sergei N. "Being and creation in the theology of John Scottus Eriugena : an approach to a new way of thinking." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2015. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/7070/.
Full textAbstract:
The work aims to demonstrate that at the heart of Eriugena’s approach to Christian theology there lies a profoundly philosophical interest in the necessity of a cardinal shift in the paradigms of thinking – namely, that from the metaphysical to the dialectical one, which wins him a reputation of the ‘Hegel of the ninth century,’ as scholars in Post-Hegelian Germany called him. The prime concern of Eriugena’s discourse is to prove that the actual adoption of the salvific truth of Christ’s revelation about all humans’ Sonship to God (resulting in their return to union with Him) directly depends on the way the truth of God’s Oneness is consistently thought of. It is exactly the dialectic of the universal and particular which allows Eriugena both to tackle the dichotomy between being and non-being (called by him the fundamental division) and to proceed towards raising a question how the totality of God’s being can be approached so as to let him radically reconsider a predominantly metaphysical view of creation the theological reflection traditionally relies on. According to the dialectical understanding of unity (with a strong appeal to a dialectically coherent treatment of contradiction) that Eriugena does adhere to, the reality of creation cannot be thought of, and therefore known, otherwise than in the way of being inseparable from the universal Principle of all. This is the Principle abandoned by nothing, unless the mind corrupted by the senses thinks otherwise and, following the metaphysical pattern of dichotomy (as that of the fundamental division), improperly sets the creation and its Principle apart. Restoration of the mind to the proper rational motion of recta ratio (right reason) freed, as Eriugena argues, from the dictates of senses therefore becomes the way of both the epistemological breakthrough to the infinite whole and practical return (reditus) from the world of finite things (the corrupt mind’s construct) to living in the divine reality of creation. The work’s argument is based on the assumption of close affinity between Eriugena’s discourse and that of his Islamic contemporaries (Allaf, al-Nazzam, al-Kindi, and others), who developed their dialectical ideas within the Mu’tazilah tradition of a philosophically disciplined approach to the truth of God’s Oneness. In particular, al-Nazzam’s engagement with Parmenides’ Periphyseon and his resistance to the danger of a dualistic interpretation of its ontology seem to provoke Eriugena’s innovative approach to Christian theology with a view to suggesting a mode of overcoming dualism as the main obstacle on the way to the Truth revealed. This vision of the meaning of Eriugena’s undertaking allows us not only to better understand the novelty of his approach to Christian theology, but also reconsider some of the key points of his discourse that seem to have become a sort of commonplace in Eriugenian studies: 1. Unlike the prevalent opinion, not the forms of the division of Nature but the modes of interpreting being and non-being are to be understood to constitute the genuine subject-matter of each book of the Periphyseon and, hence, of the five parts of his system. 2. The fourfold division of Nature is to be interpreted not as a basic structure of the system offered by Eriugena, but as a means of introducing dialectic to the body of theology by refuting Augustine’s metaphysical vision of a hierarchical model of the universe and indicating the way of resolution of the cardinally theological contradiction – God does and does not create at the same time. 3. All this gives reason to disagree with a general tendency of associating Eriugena’s work with exploration of the division of God’s Nature and to reinterpret it as an immense anti-division project to be understood as an important turn in the history of Christian thought entirely focused on the truth of God’s Oneness and human life in conformity to it. *** I affirm that this thesis is entirely my own work and has not been submitted for examination in any form elsewhere.

Full textAbstract:
La ricerca affronta il rapporto tra il Partito comunista italiano e le organizzazioni della sinistra extraparlamentare nate nel biennio 1968-1969. Sulla base di documentazione d’archivio e fonti a stampa, vengono ricostruite ed analizzate le relazioni tra questi due soggetti nel periodo compreso tra la fine degli anni Sessanta e la metà del decennio successivo, quando i principali gruppi politici della sinistra extraparlamentare si dotarono di una struttura organizzativa più stabile che segnava una discontinuità con l’esperienza precedente. Nel corso della prima metà degli anni Settanta, i rapporti tra il PCI e queste organizzazioni furono complessi e talvolta contraddittori. Il conflitto si consumò prevalentemente sulla reciproca pretesa di possedere l’esclusiva rappresentanza politica del fermento sociale che attraversava il paese in quegli anni: il PCI rappresentando se stesso come l’unica forza politica capace di mediare tra movimenti sociali e istituzioni; i gruppi della sinistra parlamentare come «avanguardie» di un irrealizzabile progetto «rivoluzionario».The aim of the research is to reconstruct and interpret the relationship between the Italian Communist Party and the Radical Left-Wing Groups in Italy from 1969 to 1976. Based on researches in the archives of the Italian Communist Party, Ministry of Interior and small archives that conserve unpublished documents of the groups, the paper will focus on the constant attention and monitoring that the Italian Communist Party addressed to the extreme left groups and on how those political organizations have been changed their approach and strategy toward the PCI during this period. During the first half of the Seventies, the relationship between the PCI and these organizations were complex and sometimes contradictory. The conflict was consumed mainly on the mutual claim to possess the exclusive political representation of the social unrest that crossed the country in those years: the PCI representing himself as the only political force capable of mediating between social movements and institutions; the Radical Left-Wing Groups as «avant-garde» of a unfeasible «revolutionary» project.

Ramsden, William H. "The implementation of workplace based assessment in the context of clinical radiology training." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2014. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/7070/.
Full textAbstract:
Workplace based assessment (WPBA) was introduced into clinical radiology training in 2010. The purpose of the study was to investigate its implementation by addressing research questions concerning the assessments’ day-to-day realisation, the participants’ influence upon their enactment, and the utility of the process. The prior history of the introduction of WPBA into postgraduate medical training and the Royal College of Radiologists’ guidance regarding the assessments’ usage served as reference points for the study findings. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 20 radiologists (12 trainers, 8 trainees) in order to discover their opinions of the implementation and usage of WPBA in radiology. The interview data were subjected to thematic analysis in order to identify issues of importance to interviewees, address the research questions and suggest any means of improving the assessments. The analysis showed that most interviewees thought that WPBA had a formative purpose, as per central guidance, although some assessors felt it could be used summatively in certain circumstances. The day to day realisation of the assessments was subject to some variation, and although this might be seen as inevitable due to differing circumstances, there was evidence of both trainees and trainers manipulating the process to suit their own purposes. There was also evidence of some trainers frankly adapting the assessments’ usage depending upon trainees’ seniority or time in an attachment. Interviewees described various weaknesses of the process, including the peremptory nature of some assessments, failure to identify underperforming trainees and poor assessor preparedness when WPBA was introduced. Reference to published literature from other postgraduate medical specialties showed that many of these problems were generic in nature, rather than confined to radiology. Suggested means by which WPBA could be improved included joint trainee and trainer leadership of the process, better training of assessors and refinement of the assessments themselves.

The urban campus will not be an isolated enclave in the future. The quality and vitality of the campus will affect and be influenced by the character of the surrounding neighborhoods. Therefore, it is significant to enhance the relationship of the campus with the surrounding community to create a vital, diverse, and attractive environment. This thesis proposes transitional urban campus boundaries as a future form of the educational environment that contributes to shaping an attractive physical setting for the university, fostering neighborhood amenities and enhancing the relationship between them. The interpretation of this concept is explored through the design exercise in transforming MIT's campus boundaries into transitional boundaries. It addresses the potentials for future redevelopment and transit development as a revitalization mechanism. A series of relevant planning strategies and urban design guidelines will be set up to achieve the design goal. This study is a qualitative evaluation of the urban form that is best suited for a successful transitional boundary between city and campus.

Aquatic vegetation is commonly present in rivers in many forms. This thesis consists of two studies, which examine the flow structure around a patch of emergent, rigid vegetation in a laboratory channel. The vegetation patch is represented by an array of circular cylinders in a staggered arrangement. The first study investigates flow structure and deposition pattern associated with a long patch of vegetation located at the sidewall of a channel (i.e. a partially vegetated channel). Along the flow-parallel edge of the patch, a shear layer is formed due to the velocity difference between the open region and the vegetated region. Coherent vortices are formed via Kelvin-Helmholtz stability in the shear layer, which also induces an edge wave. Both the energetic vortices and the edge wave enhance the lateral mass transport. Particles were introduced to the flow in order to observe the patterns of net deposition within and around the patch. There are two sources of particle flux to the patch: the advection of particles across the upstream leading edge and the lateral dispersion of particles from the adjacent open channel. The relative contribution of these two supplies determines the spatial pattern of net deposition in the patch. A simple model was developed to find the empirical value of the lateral dispersion coefficient. Longitudinal and lateral length scales were found to determine the region where particles cannot be delivered and the net deposition is limited by particle-supply. In the second study, a circular patch of emergent model vegetation located in the middle of the channel was examined. Its diameter was smaller than the channel width. Velocity measurements and flow visualization were conducted to study the turbulent wake behind the patch. Compared to the wake behind a solid obstruction, the wake behind a patch of vegetation (i.e. a porous obstruction) is different. Because of its porosity, some of the flow can pass through the patch, so that directly downstream of the patch there is a region of steady stream-wise velocity with no transverse velocity. This region is called the steady wake and it is also observed from the flow visualization. Unlike the wake behind a solid obstruction, the formation of a von-Karman vortex street behind a porous obstruction is delayed until the end of the steady wake region. As the stem density decreases (i.e. the patch becomes sparser), the velocity deficit in the steady wake region decreases and the length of the steady wake increase.

Cette étude met en évidence l'implication des préposés aux bénéficiaires dans l'avènement de la bientraitance en milieu d'hébergement québécois. Elle s'inscrit dans le cadre d'une plus vaste étude issue d'une Action concertée entre le Secrétariat aux aînés du ministère de la Famille (Famille-SA), le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS) et le Fonds de recherche du Québec-Société et culture (FRQSC). Cette plus vaste étude, qui vise à mettre en valeur les pratiques de bientraitance en milieux d'hébergement, s'arrime aux mesures 6, 8 et 50 prévues par le Plan d'action gouvernemental pour contrer la maltraitance envers les personnes ainées (PAM) 2017-2022. Privilégiant une approche qualitative pour notre étude, des entrevues individuelles semi-dirigées auprès de dix préposés aux bénéficiaires ont permis d'énoncer que, lorsqu'il est question de bientraitance, une attention particulière doit être portée aux relations interpersonnelles, aux savoir-être et aux savoir-faire. La bientraitance apparaît à la fois comme une disposition et une pratique qui s'appuie sur la capacité de "prendre soin" et l'adaptabilité. Si les participantes ont tendance à se responsabiliser et à individualiser cette notion, les résultats démontrent que le contexte culturel, qu'il soit organisationnel ou sociopolitique, influence considérablement la capacité à mettre en œuvre la bientraitance. Les préposés aux bénéficiaires disposeraient de savoirs suffisants, pourtant elles parviendraient difficilement à les mettre à profit en raison de leurs structures de travail. Selon la perspective théorique de l'éthique du care, la présence d'obstacles culturels, occasionnée par un manque de considération pour l'ensemble des métiers du "prendre soin", limiterait considérablement leurs pratiques. La recherche se conclue sur l'importance de mettre en valeur les métiers du care et réitère la nécessité pour le travailleur social d'encourager un vison "buttom-up" lors des prises de décisions portant sur la qualité de vie des personnes ainées hébergées.This study highlights the involvement of beneficiaries' agents in the advent of good care practices in Quebec's nursing home. It is part of a larger study resulting from a concerted action between the Seniors Secretariat of the Ministry of Family (Famille-SA), the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS) and the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture [Fund of Quebec-Society and Culture Research] (FRQSC). This larger study, which aims to highlight good care practices in nursing homes, ties in with measures 6, 8 and 50 of the Government Action Plan to Counter Elder Mistreatment (PAM) 2017-2022. Favoring a qualitative approach for our study, semi-directed individual interviews with ten beneficiaries' agents made it possible to state that when it comes to good care practices, special attention must be paid to interpersonal relations, interpersonal skills, and attitudes. Good care appears to be both a disposition and a practice that relies on the ability to "take care" and adaptability. If the participants tend to take responsibility for themselves and to individualize this notion, the results show that the cultural context, whether organizational or socio-political, considerably influences the level of treatment. The beneficiaries' agents would have sufficient knowledge, yet they would find it difficult to put this knowledge to good use because of their work structures. According to the theoretical perspective of the ethics of care, the presence of cultural obstacles, caused by a lack of consideration for all the "caring" professions, would considerably limit their practices. The research concludes on the importance of highlighting the care professions and reiterates the need for the social worker to encourage a "ground-up" vision when making decisions about the quality of life of elderly people in assisted accommodations.

Full textAbstract:
Ce mémoire présente les travaux de mise en œuvre d'un modèle numérique par éléments finis de la cellule unitaire représentative d'un composite interlock 3D, à partir de tomographies. Ce matériau se compose de torons tissés dans les directions chaine et trame, ainsi qu'à travers l'épaisseur. Ce type d'interlock 3X a été largement étudié ces dix dernières années, sans pour autant que des modèles numériques performants soient réalisés, ce qui rend nécessaire une modélisation numérique de sa cellule unitaire. Il présente pourtant des avantages vis-à-vis des autres types de composites, notamment grâce à l'absence du phénomène de délamination, cause principale de dégradation des composites. Ce travail présente la démarche et les moyens mis en œuvre pour obtenir la cellule unitaire numérique du matériau. Des tomographies de différents états du tissu sec, non compacté et compacté, ont été réalisées afin de générer un modèle éléments finis à partir du logiciel de traitement d'image AVIZO ainsi que du logiciel de génération de textile TEXGEN. Un modèle simplifié d'une tranche de cellule unitaire a été choisi afin de simuler et valider le procédé de compaction numérique avec le logiciel élément finis Abaqus. Les résultats du modèle de compaction ont été comparés aux tomographies du tissu sec compacté. Les résultats de cette simulation simplifiée sont prometteurs. La déformation et les déplacements des torons obtenus sur la cellule unitaire du tissu sec simulé sont très proches de ceux observés sur les tomographies du tissu compacté de la sorte.This thesis presents the work conducted toward the development of a finite element model of the representative unit cell of a 3D interlock composite, based on tomographies. This material is composed of yarns woven in the warp and weft directions, as well as through the thickness. This kind of 3X interlock has been very little studied to date, which makes numerical modelling of its unit cell necessary. However, it present advantages over other types of composites, in particular the absence of delamination phenomenon, the main cause of composite degradation. This work presents the approach and the means employed to obtain the numerical unit cell of the material. Tomographies of different states of the dry, uncompacted and compacted fabric were carried out in order to generate a finite element model from the image processing software AVIZO and the textile generation software TEXGEN. A simplified model of a unit cell slice was chosen in order to simulate and validate the numerical compaction process with the Abaqus finite element software. The results of the compaction model were compared with tomographies of dry texile. The results of this simplified simulation are promising. The deformation and displacements of the yarns obtained on the unit cell of the simulated dry textile are very close to those observed on tomographies of the compacted textile.

Busco entender o imaginário social construído sobre o surdo abrigado na FEBEM e o papel da escola e da institucionalização em suas vidas. Por se tratar de um grupo duplamente marginalizado (são surdos ... e são da FEBEM), parto do pressuposto de que a imagem presente no âmbito social o condiciona sob a ótica da improdutividade e do conseqüente fracasso social. Em uma sociedade capitalista-moderna que, com suas nonnas de comportamento e seus padrões de perfeição e beleza, prima pela valorização corpórea enquanto força produtiva, que lugar ocupa esse sujeito? A investigação é de cunho qualitativo e a criação se faz presente, apresentando um caráter não-ortodoxo. A pesquisa é descritiva/analítica e os dados coletados aparecem no texto de forma a serem entendidos segundo os conceitos teóricos utilizados. Como fonte de informação, foram realizadas entrevistas com os funcionários da Escola de Surdos onde estudam os sujeitos da pesquisa e com os funcionários da Instituição onde moram, cujas falas utilizei na análise do que tento desvendar. Na análise dos dados, utilizo alguns conceitos de autores que falam sobre a questão do imaginário, do estigma e da formação da identidade. Na perspectiva da surdez, me valho de outros autores que dedicam seus estudos ao tema educação de surdos.I try to understand the imaginário social1 built over the deaf sheltered into FEBEM as well as the papers played by school and sheltering in their lives. As they are a twice marginalized group (they are deaf... and they belong to FEBEM), I assume that the images built by society over the deaf constrains them to an state of unproductiveness and, as a result, to the social failure. In a modem-capitalist society which behaviour rules and pattems o f perfection and beauty increases the value o f the body as a productive source, where could this people take place? The investigation has a qualitative non-ortodox character. The research follows the description-analysis pattem. Collected data were exposed so that it can be taken through to the adopted theorical guidelines. As an inforrnation source, some interviews were taken with the Deaf School and Home-Institutional employees whose speeches supports the analysis of what I try to undercover. In data analysis, I assume some author's concepts to deal with imagery, stigma and identity development question. To outlook deaf, other author's concepts conceming deafs education concepts were taken.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the complexity, multi-scale, and multi-physics nature of the mathematical models for fires, current numerical models require too much computational effort to be useful in design and real-time decision making, especially when dealing with fires over large domains. To reduce the computational time while retaining the complexity of the domain and physics, our research has focused on several reduced-order modeling techniques. Our contributions are improving wildland fire reduced-order models (ROMs), creating new ROM techniques for nonlinear systems, and preserving optimality when discretizing a continuous-time ROM. Currently, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is being used to reduce wildland fire-spread models with limited success. We use a technique known as the discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM) to address the slowness due to the nonlinearity. We create new methods to reduce nonlinear models, such as the Burgers' equation, that perform better than POD over a wider range of input conditions. Further, these ROMs can often be constructed without needing to capture full-order solutions a priori. This significantly reduces the off-line costs associated with creating the ROM. Finally, we investigate methods of time-discretization that preserve the optimality conditions in a certain norm associated with the input to output mapping of a dynamical system. In particular, we are able to show that the Crank-Nicholson method preserves the optimality conditions, but other single-step methods do not. We further clarify the need for these discrete-time ROMs to match at infinity in order to ensure local optimality.Ph. D.

Newborns are exposed to organochlorine compounds (OCs) through placenta and via breastfeeding. Although HCB is one of the most common OCs, its transference from the mother to the child through placenta and via breastfeeding is poorly documented. The knowledgement of the possible adverse effects on infant's health is also limited. In Flix, a small village in the Ribera d'Ebre area, high levels of HCB were detected in the atmosphere of the village due to the vicinity of an electrochemical factory. The objectives of the present study are to evaluate OCS exposition through placenta and breastfeeding and its effects on infant's health during the first year of life.

Full textAbstract:
Recent occupational health studies have focused on dermal exposure at the hands, but have been unable to accurately express dose without knowing the HSA. There is no standard method to calculate HSA, though some researchers have derived HSA formulas based on dimensions from a Taiwanese population. This research paper describes a shortcut method to estimate the hand surface area (HSA) of a human hand from a two-dimensional hand tracing, and repeated a Taiwanese HSA study in order to explore the viability of its HSA formula in an American university population. A sample of nine adult men and nine adult women, each representing one third of the population percentile in hand length and hand breadth, were selected from a population within the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL. Hand length, breadth, a 2D hand tracing and a 3D light hand scan were collected from each participant. A linear regression was used to analyze the data sets and found a correlation (R=0.94) between 2D HSA and 3D HSA and slope of 2.6 (SD=0.2), with a regression equation of Y=2.6(X). A paired t-test was used to compare the Taiwanese HSA formula data against the 3D HSA. Results found that the Taiwanese data sets were significantly different from the 3D HSA (p<0.001), averaging 57 cm2 less than the 3D HSA. A jackknife analysis was implemented on the 2D HSA hand tracing data, and a paired t-test was performed between the jackknife estimate predictions and 3D HSA. Mean differences were not significantly different (p=0.97), with 0.87 cm2 difference between means. Results indicate that the USF Hand Tracing Method will provide a better estimate of HSA than the Taiwanese method, and can be used as a tool in HSA estimation.

Full textAbstract:
The 2004 Gender Equity Education Act (GEEA) sought to challenge gender and sexual discrimination in Taiwan by focusing on the importance of spaces of education as sites where gender and sexual identities are normalized and reproduced. This thesis explores the production of the GEEA and its subsequent implementation in two schools in Taipei City. Through reviewing geographical literature on education, children/young people, gender and sexualities, this thesis explores four research questions: (1) how the aims of the GEEA are shaped in Taiwanese policy context; (2) how the GEEA is implemented in schools; (3) how teachers shape young people's gender and sexual identities; (4) how young people's experiences of teaching practices and peer cultures affect their understandings of gender and sexual identities. Methods including discourse analysis, semi-structured interviews, and observation are adopted to answer the above questions. The research aims to challenge the dichotomy of inward- and outward-looking approaches in geographies of education, to expand the construction of childhood and the gender model in existing geographical research in Western contexts, and to further the conceptualisation of different forms of heterosexuality. Consequently, based on empirical findings, the thesis argues that the objective of the GEEA, which is to enable the performance of diverse gender and sexual identities in educational spaces, has not been achieved yet because of the contradictory practices evident within school spaces. In conclusion, the thesis relates the research findings to some of the key debates within contemporary geographical literatures by highlighting the importance of combing inward- and outward-looking approaches to study education, the complex nature of young people's gender identities formation, and the age-dependent form of heterosexuality. Ultimately, this thesis demonstrates the crucial role of education spaces in shaping young people's identities in an East Asian context.

Full textAbstract:
The microclimate of the Horotane Valley is characterised to enable an assessment of land-use potential in the valley. Crops that are traditionally thought of as marginal or unsuitable for commercial growth on the Canterbury Plains, can be grown successfully in the valley. While the residents of the valley have a qualitative appreciation of the climate, no quantitative data had previously been collected to characterise the microclimate.
Data collection took place over a five month period from 14th February 1995 to 31 July, 1995. Field observations of maximum and minimum temperature and short-wave radiation are augmented by modelling. Temperature data are used to determine the Growing Degree Day, chill unit and frost distribution. Continuous monitoring of the wind in the upper valley allows analysis of the diurnal and seasonal variation in the wind regime.
Radiation receipt varies with slope angle and aspect. Radiation modelling using the "Cosine Law of Illumination" produces comparatively high results as cloud cover, air pollution levels and sky view factors are not taken into account. Albedo varies with the surface colour, roughness and moisture level.
Growing degree days initially increase with elevation, until the lower maximum temperatures in the thermal belt counteract the higher minimum temperatures. Chill units decrease with elevation in the thermal belt and then increase again. Frosts are most common on the valley floor and decrease in frequency and severity with elevation up the valley slopes. A temperature inversion is most likely to develop under anticyclone conditions when the nocturnal long-wave emission is at a maximum. Nocturnal temperatures follow the normal lapse rate when the atmosphere is well-mixed. Diurnal temperatures tend to follow the normal lapse rate.
Thermotopographically generated winds are prominent in the valley wind regime. The northerly anabatic wind develops in the valley following sunrise. It reaches peak velocity in the afternoon when backed by the low level gradient north-easterly and the sea breeze. A light southerly katabatic flow dominates the nocturnal wind regime. Gradient winds are modified by the valley topography and shelter is needed from the gradient southerly winds as they reach maximum speeds of 15 m/s. The valley is topographically sheltered from winds from an easterly arid westerly direction.
Published knowledge of the climatic requirements of selected crops was used to evaluate their suitability to the Horotane Valley microclimate. The research has shown that the valley climate could support other marginal crops such as grapes and kiwifruit, and that the area planted in stonefruit could be extended.

EMBA Project ReportEXECUTIVE SUMMARY: At the request of the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Task Force, the Naval Air Systems Command‘s program office for Multi-Mission Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)—also known as PMA-266, began MQ-8B flight operations in Afghanistan. Due to the importance and short notice of this request, the initial manning and support measures for the Fire Scout detachment has relied heavily on contractors. In an effort to refine and redirect the future manning of Fire Scout detachments, PMA-266 asked the Washington DC Naval Postgraduate School Consulting Group to evaluate three different courses of action (COAs) detailing manning options for deployment of the MQ-8B Fire Scout for the next year. The three COAs were: 1) Manning with a military component 2) Manning with NGC contract services 3) Manning through a third party contractor. This report recommends that PMA-266 use the military component COA to the maximum extent possible. In addition to annual cost savings of over $10M, a military component provides greater mission-focus and flexibility inherent in a military chain of command as compared to a contract manning structure. The Navy would also benefit by obtaining operational UAS experience as it looks to develop an unmanned aviation community. The experience gained could be used to develop Navy instructors for operator and maintenance training instead of continuing to rely on contract support for these requirements.

In addition to named entities such as persons, locations, organizations, and quantities which convey factual information, there are other entities and attributes that relate identifiable objects in the text and can provide valuable additional information. In the field of epizootics, these include specific properties of diseases such as their name, location, species affected, and current confirmation status. These are important for compiling the spatial and temporal statistics and other information needed to track diseases, leading to applications such as detection and prevention of bioterrorism. Toward this objective, we present a system (Rule Based Event Extraction System in Epizootic Domains) that can be used for extracting the infectious disease outbreaks from the unstructured data automatically by using the concept of pattern matching. In addition to extracting events, the components of this system can help provide structured and summarized data that can be used to differentiate confirmed events from suspected events, answer questions regarding when and where the disease was prevalent develop a model for predicting future disease outbreaks, and support visualization using interfaces such as Google Maps. While developing this system, we consider the research issues that include document relevance classification, entity extraction, recognizing the outbreak events in the disease domain and to support the visualization for events. We present a sentence-based event extraction approach for extracting the outbreak events from epizootic domain that has tasks such as extracting the events such as the disease name, location, species, confirmation status, and date; classifying the events into two categories of confirmation status- confirmed or suspected. The present approach shows how confirmation status is important in extracting the disease based events from unstructured data and a pyramid approach using reference summaries is used for evaluating the extracted events.

Projeto de Graduação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Licenciado em EnfermagemÉ percecionado que a Qualidade de Vida será em grande parte caracterizada pela saúde do indivíduo. Nestes termos é então de esperar que a Atividade Física tenha influência, por consequência, na QV do indivíduo. A prática regular de AF é necessária para a Promoção de saúde no envelhecimento saudável, pelo que, está provado, deve ser adotada desde uma tenra idade. A consciencialização da população para este facto passa em grande parte pelos profissionais de saúde, pelo que o Enfermeiro tem um papel preponderante no ensino e sensibilização dos indivíduos das mais variadas idades. A presente investigação pretende estudar o Impacto da Prática de Atividade Física na Qualidade de Vida do Adulto da freguesia de Crestuma. É um estudo quantitativo descritivo-correlacional que pretendeu verificar se a Atividade Física exerce algum efeito sobre a Qualidade de Vida, sendo a população alvo o indivíduo adulto da freguesia de Crestuma. A colheita de dados foi efetuada sob a forma de questionário, construído sob a junção de dois outros, IPAQ e WHOQOL-Bref. A amostra foi composta por 50 indivíduos do sexo feminino e masculino, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 64 anos de idade. Os resultados obtidos demonstram, em geral, uma relação entre as variáveis. Deste modo é possível afirmar que a prática de Atividade Física influencia de forma positiva a Qualidade de Vida do Adulto da freguesia de Crestuma. Dos resultados obtidos evidenciam-se os seguintes aspetos: 64% dos inquiridos encontram-se num nível de AF Moderado ou superior; dessa percentagem de indivíduos ativos, 40% são do sexo feminino; os inquiridos que se situam no nível de AF Moderado demonstram uma melhor perceção de Qualidade de Vida.
It is perceived that Quality of Life (QL) is immensely characterized by the Health of the individual. With these terms it is then expected that Physical Activity (PA) has an influence, by default, in the QL of a person. The regular exercise of PA is necessary for a health promotion in the aging process, therefore, it is proved that it should be adopted from a young age. The awareness of the population for this fact comes mainly through the health professionals, whereby, the nurse has a preponderante role in education and raising the awareness of the individuals of the most diverse ages. The present investigation intends to study the Impact of the Practice of Physical Activity in the Quality of Life of the Adult in the parish of Crestuma. It was a descriptive-correlational quantitative study that sought to verify if the PA exerts an effect upon the QL, the population being the adult individual of the parish of Crestuma. The data collection was carried out in the form of a questionaire, built as a combination of two others, IPAQ and WHOQOL-Bref. The sample was composed by 50 individuals of both male and female genders, with ages between 18 and 64 yeas old. The drawn results show, in general, a relation between the variables. Thus it is possible to afirm that the practice of PA affects in a positive manner the QL of the adult of the parish of Crestuma. The results obtained show the following aspects: 64% of the respondents are on a Moderate or higher PA level; of this percentage of active individuals, 40% are women; the respondents that are placed on a Moderate PA level show a better perception of Quality of Life.

Previous issue date: 2014Every year scientists and biomedical manufacturers bring to the market new biocompatible materials to use as prosthetic devices for the human body. Following that trend, oral implants manufactured with a Tantalum alloy started to be marketed in 2010 by a top orthopedic company. Although this metal has already been tested in dentistry and did not show satisfactory results from an experimental as well as a clinical standpoint in the past, the lack of a successful record was due to a poor comprehension of many important factors involved in the Osseointegration phenomenon. From the fixture design to the understanding of bone biology, the years of research have shown that survival and success in oral implantology is much more than the alloy can tell. And since bone histology has proved that Tantalum has a good healing response, we decided to subject this metal to a surface treatment similar to those regularly applied to Titanium fixtures. Using an especially PEO (Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation) devised protocol we have tried to evaluate the production of a surface oxidation and salt deposition on the metal surface and verify them using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and EDS (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Detector or EDX). For that matter, four groups were prepared: Group 1 – non-altered Tantalum metal sheets surfaces; Group 2 – Tantalum metal sheets exposed to PEO for 1 minute; Group 3 – Tantalum metal sheets exposed to PEO for 3 minutes; Group 4 – Tantalum metal sheets exposed to PEO for 5 minutes. The results were very satisfactory regarding salt deposition and surface modification and similar to those already seen on Titanium after anodization.
A cada ano, cientistas e empresas biomédicas trazem ao mercado novos materiais biocompatíveis para o uso em dispositivos protéticos para o corpo humano. Seguindo esse propósito, implantes dentários fabricados com uma liga de Tântalo foram introduzidos no mercado em 2010 por uma empresa líder em produtos ortopédicos. Embora esse metal já tenha sido utilizado sem muito sucesso tanto do ponto de vista experimental quanto clinico, na odontologia, a falta de uma resposta satisfatória foi devido à pouca compreensão de muitos fatores importantes envolvidos no fenômeno da Osseointegração. Do desenho do implante ao entendimento da biologia óssea, os anos de pesquisas mostraram que a sobrevivência e o sucesso dos implantes dentários são muito mais do que uma liga metálica possa representar. E já que a histologia óssea tem mostrado que o Tântalo tem uma boa resposta cicatricial, nós decidimos submeter esse metal a um tratamento superficial similar àqueles normalmente utilizados nos implantes de Titânio. Usando especialmente um protocolo desenvolvido para anodização PEO (Oxidação por Plasma Eletrolítico), nós tentamos avaliar a produção de oxidação superficial e deposição de sais sobre a superfície do metal e verificamos os resultados no MEV (Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura) e o EDS (Espectroscopia por Dispersão de Energia Raio-X). Para a pesquisa, quatro grupos foram preparados: Grupo 1 – Lâminas de Tântalo não tratadas; Grupo 2 – Lâminas de Tântalo expostas ao PEO por 1 minuto; Grupo 3 - Lâminas de Tântalo expostas ao PEO por 3 minutos; Grupo 4 - Lâminas de Tântalo expostas ao PEO por 5 minutos. Os resultados foram muito satisfatórios ao considerar a deposição de sais e modificação superficial, muito similar àqueles já vistos no Titânio depois de exposto ao processo de anodização.

Full textAbstract:
The economic development challenges facing second-tier city-regions in the United Kingdom reflect a critical dimension of policy debates concerning spatial rebalancing. The integration of multi-location firms at second-tier territorial contexts is an important aspect of rebalancing narratives, and this thesis examines what such integration may entail for the economic development of these places. Given the label of the “firm-territory nexus” by other economic geographers (Dicken and Malmberg, 2001), integration brings into focus a complex set of factors, processes and conditions. In order to grapple with and order such complexity, the conceptual framework of city-region absorptive capacity has been proposed and developed in this research. Four case studies across two second-tier UK cities, Edinburgh and Manchester, comprising interviews with elites and the collection of extensive documentary material, provides the empirical material for framework development. The research hinges on an analytical process that: first, deploys the functional form of “absorptive capacity” to provide language and broad parameters by which to approach the empirical object; and second, generates abstract categories from the empirical data to flesh out a contextually sensitive conceptual framework. Network position relative to London and labour appear as important integrating mechanisms across the case studies, though the conceptual framework demonstrates contingencies in terms of territorial and relational processes, shifting moments of structure and agency, and the overlapping institutional mosaics at play. By providing portraits of city economies in the middle ground of global economic networks, the need to articulate economic geographies of the “outside” and “inside” are also given emphasis.

Full textAbstract:
This research applies techniques from the field of optimization to spatial positioning and energy management in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Two specific areas are treated: optimization of UAV view plans for 3D modeling of infrastructure, and trajectory optimization of solar powered high-altitude long-endurance (HALE) UAVs. Structure-from-Motion (SfM) is a computer vision technique for creating 3D models from 2D images. View planning is the process of planning image sets that will effectively model a given scene. First, a genetic algorithm based view planning approach is demonstrated. A novel terrain simulation environment is developed, and the algorithm is tested at multiple sites of interest. The genetic algorithm is compared quantitatively to traditional flights, and is found to yield terrain models with up to 43% greater accuracy than a standard grid flight pattern. Next a greedy heuristic planner is developed, and used to combine anomaly detection with automatic on-board 3D view planning for long linear infrastructure objects such as canals and pipelines. The proposed method is shown in simulation to decrease total flight time by up to 55%, while reducing the amount of image data to be processed by 89% and maintaining 3D model accuracy at areas of interest. The planning algorithm is then extended to select images of ground targets from an existing data set. The algorithm is tested on five different targets, and is shown to reduce processing time for target models by up to a factor of 50 with little decrease in accuracy. The second portion of the research demonstrates the use of nonlinear dynamic optimization to calculate energy optimal trajectories for a high-altitude, solar-powered Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The objective is to maximize the total energy in the system while staying within a 3 km mission radius and meeting other system constraints. Solar energy capture is modeled using the vehicle orientation and solar position, and energy is stored both in batteries and in potential energy through elevation gain. Energy capture is maximized by optimally adjusting the angle of the aircraft surface relative to the sun. The UAV flight and energy system dynamics are optimized over a 24-hour period at an eight-second time resolution using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC). Results of the simulated flights are presented for all four seasons, showing 8.2% increase in end-of-day battery energy for the most limiting flight condition of the wintersolstice.

Philosophiae Doctor - PhDNumerical approximations of multiscale problems of important applications in ecology are investigated. One of the class of models considered in this work are singularly perturbed (slow-fast) predator-prey systems which are characterized by the presence of a very small positive parameter representing the separation of time-scales between the fast and slow dynamics. Solution of such problems involve multiple scale phenomenon characterized by repeated switching of slow and fast motions, referred to as relaxationoscillations, which are typically challenging to approximate numerically. Granted with a priori knowledge, various time-stepping methods are developed within the framework of partitioning the full problem into fast and slow components, and then numerically treating each component differently according to their time-scales. Nonlinearities that arise as a result of the application of the implicit parts of such schemes are treated by using iterative algorithms, which are known for their superlinear convergence, such as the Jacobian-Free Newton-Krylov (JFNK) and the Anderson’s Acceleration (AA) fixed point methods.

The results of a round robin tournament can be represented as a matrix of zeros and ones, by ordering the players and placing a one in the (i,j) position if player i beat player j, and zeros otherwise. These matrices, called tournament matrices, can be represented by graphs, called tournament graphs. They have been the subject of much research and study, yet there have been few attempts to give a wide exposition on the subject. Those that have been done tend to focus on the graph theoretical aspects of tournaments. S. Ree and Y. Koh did write a brief survey from the matrix viewpoint in 1998, but it was not complete and not published.
This paper is an attempt to give an exposition on tournament matrices. Recent research will be presented, some new ideas and properties will be proposed, and a few applications of the material will be reviewed.

Full textAbstract:
Caregiver burnout is an issue for health care organizations, negatively influencing cost, engagement, and workforce stability. Nurse residency programs are intended to address the gap in practice between academia and clinical practice and provide social support during this transitional time. Self-care education can positively affect novice acute care nurses' transition into their new professional role while building connections with the health care organization during the first year of employment. The purpose of this project was to develop a staff educational module to address the nursing practice problem of evidence-based self-care education within a nurse residency curriculum at the doctoral site. The practice focus question for this project was can evidence-based staff development project be developed identifying self-care strategies for novice acute care nurses within a nurse residency program. Orem's theory of self-care, which highlights the importance of taking time to care for self as integral to human functioning, and Watson's caring theory, which emphasizes the loving care of self as a vital prerequisite for caring for others, were the theoretical frameworks. This module was developed based on existing peer-reviewed journals, national organizations' position statements, white papers, and expert opinion and was synthesized using Melynk's hierarchy of evidence for intervention studies tool. This module was developed and shared with doctoral site stakeholders. The recommendation was to integrate this educational product into the existing nurse residency program. The positive implications this project has for the nursing profession include improved well-being and job satisfaction for the novice acute care nurses and potential long-term effects on organizational cost related to turnover

Full textAbstract:
На сьогодні пластмаси широко використовуються в повсякденному житті завдяки своїм особливим властивостям, таким як довговічність, легка обробка і низька вартість виробництва. Але їх стабільність і стійкість до біологічної деструкції в природних умовах спричинила накопичення виробів із пластмас, що вже були вжитку, у навколишньому середовищі. Так, полімерна упаковка від харчових і нехарчових товарів є практично на всіх підприємствах торгівлі. Обсяги накопичення упаковки на підприємствах торгівлі складають від 0,5–3,0 до 50–150 кг / добу. Утилізація полімерних відходів допомагає зберегти природні ресурси, оскільки більшість полімерних матеріалів виготовляються шляхом переробки нафти і газу. У цьому напрямку актуальним є розвиток сфери рециклінгу полімерних відходів з використанням деяких традиційних полімерів і їх композитів, таких як поліетилен, поліпропілен і полістирол, і впровадження концепції механічної, хімічної переробки та використання їх енергетичного потенціалу. Альтернативами практичних методів управління твердими відходами є реорганізація, переробка і створення екологічного безпечних полімерних матеріалів, що здатні до біодеградації, на основі відновлюваних ресурсів, рослинних і текстильних відходів. Метою роботи є зниження рівня техногенного впливу від полімерних відходів на довкілля шляхом вдосконалення методологічних засад оцінки життєвого циклу полімерних матеріалів різного генезису та екологічного обґрунтування технологічних рішень їх утилізації.

engage and are still involved with these issues, which contribute to building knowledge and ethos, as examples,
we highlight Adolfo Sanchez Vasquez and Yves de La Taille. The interest on the subject was guided, mainly, on
research into new configurations of human behavior and the ethical discourse of contemporary society, in
particular, in the public high school. The methodology that was chosen for this dissertation was the oral thematic
history, from the viewpoint of Meihy. In the theoretical-methodological field, this research is based on the
following authors: Abramo; Aranha; Erickson; Fernando Savater; Luckesi; Mehihy; Severino; Spósito; La Taille;
Thompson; Vázquez, and others. It was found that the young has difficulty in discerning between Ethics and
Morals.Esta pesquisa, apresentada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), na Linha de Pesquisa Práticas Escolares e Políticas Públicas - LP2, como requisito para a obtenção do título de Mestrado em Educação, tem a temática de investigação Ética, Cidadania, Juventude(s) nas Políticas Públicas . Objetivou-se, na pesquisa, analisar as narrativas de docentes e jovens de uma escola de Ensino Médio da Rede Pública de Santa Maria/RS, quanto a sua compreensão e significação do papel social que a escola possui para a construção do ethos juvenil, explicitando, através de suas narrativas, a relevância ou não da interdisciplinaridade do conceito de Ética na produção do conhecimento no currículo de Ensino Médio para o jovem, fomentando assim, discussões que possibilitem mais diálogo das relações intersubjetivas na escola, entre a ética e a juventude(s) na construção do conhecimento e na promoção do ethos e contribuindo com indicativos para a elaboração e/ou (re)construção de Políticas Públicas Educacionais para a Juventude(s). É válido lembrar que um dos temas mais estudados e comentados em Filosofia diz respeito ao conceito e aplicabilidade da Ética. Muitos estudiosos se dedicam e continuam envolvidos com estas questões, os quais contribuem para a construção do conhecimento e do ethos, como exemplo, destacamos Adolfo Sanchez Vásquez e Yves de La Taille. O interesse sobre a temática foi pautado, sobretudo, na investigação das novas configurações do comportamento humano e do discurso ético da sociedade contemporânea, em especial, no que diz respeito à Escola Pública de Ensino Médio. A Metodologia escolhida para a dissertação foi a História Oral Temática, na ótica de Meihy. A pesquisa embasou-se no campo teórico-metodológico com os seguintes autores: Abramo; Aranha; Erickson; Fernando Savater; Luckesi; Mehihy; Severino; Spósito; La Taille; Thompson; Vázquez, entre outros. Constatou-se que o jovem apresenta dificuldade no discernimento entre Ética e Moral. Quanto aos professores, verificou-se que os mesmos necessitam de mais domínio dos conceitos éticos para promover a interação do seu saber com as questões éticas na formação do jovem.

This research, qualitative in nature, seeks to answer the question: What are the meanings given by a group of teachers in relation to continuing education offered by participating in EFAP – Training School and Teacher Improvement? For this, we build a theoretical referential grounding the basic elements related to continuing education of teachers in the last 40 years to the current concepts of continuing education. We draw a panorama of public policy of the State Department of Education SEE-SP contextualizing the creation of EFAP. We address the professional development of mathematics teachers and pointed out the issue of reflective teacher. The investigation was performed considering proposals for continuing education promoted by EFAP during the years 2009 to 2013. For to know the profile of math teachers involved in these continuing education courses we applied a questionnaire to twentyfive teachers. We selected five persons of group of teachers interviewed to deepen our data collection with interviews. To grasp the understanding of teachers about continuing education courses realized by them, the research uses the production concepts of senses and meanings present in the cultural-historical perspective of Vygotsky (2008). We drive us in Bardin (1997) for data analysis. In general, the development of research allowed us to conclude that the meanings attributed by teachers to continuing education courses offered by EFAP are related to a number of factors such as contact with peers, hands-on activities, certification and new knowledge in relations to pedagogical and didactic discussions.
Esta pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, procura responder ao problema: Quais são os significados dados por um grupo de professores em relação às formações continuadas que participam oferecidas pela EFAP- Escola de Formação e Aperfeiçoamento de Professores? Para isso, construímos um referencial teórico fundamentando os elementos básicos relacionados à formação continuada de professores nos últimos 40 anos até as concepções atuais de formação continuada. Traçamos um panorama das políticas públicas da Secretaria Estadual de Educação SEE-SP contextualizando a criação da EFAP. Abordamos o desenvolvimento profissional dos professores de matemática e destacamos a questão do professor reflexivo. A investigação foi realizada considerando as propostas de formação continuada promovidas pela EFAP durante os anos de 2009 a 2013. Para conhecer o perfil dos professores de matemática participantes desses cursos de formação continuada aplicamos um questionário a vinte e cinco professores. Destes selecionamos um grupo para aprofundar a coleta de dados com a realização de entrevistas. Para apreender a compreensão dos professores sobre os cursos de formação continuada que realizaram, a pesquisa se utiliza dos conceitos de produção de sentidos e significados presentes na perspectiva histórico-cultural de Vygotsky (2008). Nos pautamos em Bardin (1997) para a análise dos dados. De modo geral, o desenvolvimento da pesquisa nos permitiu concluir que os significados atribuídos pelos professores aos cursos de formação continuada oferecidos pela EFAP estão relacionados a um conjunto de fatores tais como: contato com os pares, atividades práticas, certificação e conhecimento novo em relação às discussões pedagógicas e didáticas.

Full textAbstract:
The exponential growth of computer power is no longer limited to stand alone computing systems but applies to all areas of commercial embedded computing systems. The ongoing rapid growth in intelligent embedded systems is visible in the commercial automotive area, where a modern car today implements up to 80 different electronic control units (ECUs) and their total memory size has been increased to several hundreds of megabyte. This growth in the commercial mass production world has led to new challenges, even within the automotive industry but also in other business areas where cost pressure is high. The need to drive cost down means that every cent spent on recurring engineering costs needs to be justified. A conflict between functional requirements (functionality, system reliability, production and manufacturing aspects etc.), testing and maintainability aspects is given. Software reprogramming, as a key issue within the automotive industry, solve that given conflict partly in the past. Software Reprogramming for in-field service and maintenance in the after sales markets provides a strong method to fix previously not identified software errors. But the increasing software sizes and therefore the increasing software reprogramming times will reduce the benefits. Especially if ECU’s software size growth faster than vehicle’s onboard infrastructure can be adjusted. The thesis result enables cost prediction of embedded systems’ software reprogramming by generating an effective and reliable model for reprogramming time for different existing and new technologies. This model and additional research results contribute to a timeline for short term, mid term and long term solutions which will solve the currently given problems as well as future challenges, especially for the automotive industry but also for all other business areas where cost pressure is high and software reprogramming is a key issue during products life cycle.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a articulação da etapa inicial dos processos de design thinking com as etapas iniciais do processo de empreendedorismo. Com o crescimento do número de pessoas querendo empreender, alternativas para identificar melhores meios de planejar e empreender são importantes para minimizar os riscos e obter melhores resultados. Para compreender como a etapa inicial do design thinking pode articular com o processo empreendedor nas etapas iniciais, foram utilizados estudos e artigos sobre empreendedorismo, processo de empreendedorismo, design estratégico, design thinking e processos de design thinking. No método de campo, utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa exploratória, por meio de entrevistas (pré e pós workshops) e a realização de workshops, através da abordagem das etapas iniciais do processo de design thinking, com empreendedores que estavam nas etapas iniciais dos seus processos de empreendedorismo. As discussões e a conclusão apontam possíveis articulações dos processos iniciais de design thinking com as etapas iniciais do processo de empreendedorismo.
This work has aims to to analyze the articulation of the initial stage of the design thinking processes with the initial stages of the entrepreneurship process. With the growth in the number of people wanting to undertake alternatives to identify better means of planning and undertaking are important in order to minimize risks and obtain better results. To understand how the initial stage of design thinking can articulate with the entrepreneurial process in the initial stages, Studies and papers on entrepreneurship were reviewed, as well as papers about entrepreneurship process, strategic design, design thinking and design thinking processes. In the field research, an exploratory qualitative approach was proceeded, through interviews (pre and post workshops), and workshops, through the initial steps of the design thinking process, with entrepreneurs who were in the early stages of their entrepreneurial processes. The discussions and conclusion point to possible articulations of the initial processes of design thinking with the initial stages of the entrepreneurship process.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to explore teachers’ professional learning in a community of practice (CoP) in South Korea and its impact on teachers’ and pupils’ learning. The study employed qualitative research methods within a case study framework. Data were collected in South Korea from September 2014 to June 2015. A professor who created the CoP, 8 secondary school physical education teachers (as case-study teachers) and 41 pupils from 8 different schools participated in this study. Five different data collection tools were used: individual interviews, observations, focus group, open-ended questionnaires, and document analysis. Three key findings from this research are: 1) five different activities supported in the CoP helped teachers to develop both ‘pedagogies’ and ‘teachers’ characteristics’ and they impacted together on pupils’ learning; 2) teachers’ professional learning in the CoP was influenced by: retaining a focus on developing pedagogies together, professional intimacy between members, appropriate support from the professor, and temporal and spatial issues; and 3) teachers’ professional learning and its links to pupils’ learning were influenced by factors at the micro, meso and macro levels. Insights into the value of CoP theory are discussed and implications for the effectiveness of teachers’ professional learning identified.
