Abstract:
Self-talk, particularly privatized, inner speech is used as a tool to support self-regulation. Thus, adequate language is a necessary component for regulatory inner speech. However, behavioral control and planful deliberation is also dependent upon adequate executive function (EF) development. Increasing evidence suggests that children with specific language impairment (SLI) display deficits in more than just language, with differences in various cognitive processes, the use of language for inner speech, and self-regulating EF. Assessment and treatment by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) should account for these variables. In particular, Vygotskian application of hands-on problem solving tasks is suggested to support the intersection of language and EF for planful, self-regulated efforts in children with SLI.

Abstract:
Abstract The essay highlights the fundamental importance of internal rhetoric in philosophical romanticism. First, it exposes Schelling’s general thesis that the art of inner conversation (‚innere Unterredungskunst‘) is the archetype of philosophical thinking. Furthermore, Shaftesbury’s background theory in his Soliloquy or, Advice to an Author is discussed, which characterizes the Art of soliloquy by the five basic operations of self-seperation, self-reflection, self-division, self-verbalisation, self-dialogization. Finally – returning to homo rhetorico-philosophicus Schelling – his romantic philosophy of the Ages of the World (Weltalter) is interpreted as a product of his internal rhetoric. Schelling’s philosophical Art of inner conversation combines here the invention of speculative history with the empowerment and self-invention of his author.

Abstract:
Through the course of this semester I have been fortunate to partake in an Honors seminar directed to applying some of the fundamental principles of leadership theory in the lives of its students, specifically as it relates to the projects(business plans) we were completing in as part of the requirement for the Entrepreneurship program – for me, personally, it related to Pocket Pantry – a smartphone app designed to enhance and simplify the modern grocery shopping experience. The means to achieve this end were to observe and listen to an array of demonstrated Entrepreneurs (all of whom were UA graduates) and take note of the specific ingredients that they felt had contributed to their success as leaders and businesspeople. The lessons learned from these incredible speakers were enhanced using several key leadership surveys (i.e. the Big 5 Personality Test). The combination of these mediums led to a comprehensive leadership assessment, the distilled findings of which are reach and explored in the following Thesis paper.

Abstract:
South Asian women in the United Kingdom have shown higher rates of self-harm compared to their white counterparts and Asian men. However, only a few studies have attempted to use in-depth exploration on an individual level to understand the reasons behind this. The empirical study aimed to explore the subjective experience and meaning of self-harm from South Asian women’s perspectives. It sought to appraise how they understood and made sense of their experience and the factors contributing to their self-harm using a qualitative phenomenological methodology. Five South Asian women, representing a non-clinical sample, were interviewed and their accounts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA: Smith, 2008). Four master themes, highlighting the women’s experiences of self-harm, their understanding of the contributory factors, and their opinion of support services, emerged. In line with previous research, the study found self-harm to be a method of emotional regulation and a logical response to the distress these women faced in their lives. However, new meanings and understandings specific to South Asian women were also discovered. For instance, self-harm was perceived by these women as a friend; in other words, as a means of compensating for the loss of a visible companion in their lives. Self-harm’s covert style was acknowledged as a significant means of surviving within the context of South Asian culture. Most pertinent and embedded in the study’s findings was the concept of Family honour, otherwise understood as the South Asian cultural code of conduct and law of ‘Izzat’. The concept was recognised as a subtle yet pertinent and underlying influence behind why the women chose to self-harm. These findings have not been produced by previous research, bringing forth novelty to the field. Furthermore, self-harm was experienced as a double-edged sword; this was considered to maintain and perhaps explain the increased rate of suicide following self-harm in this population. Participants’ experiences and opinions of support services were also taken into account. Their suggestions and experience helped the study inform clinical practitioners working with South Asian women to approach interventions differently. Limitations to the study and recommendations for future research have also been outlined.

Abstract:
In the midst of honing my craft as an educator, this ethnographic narrative was done for the purposes of taking an introspective look at the many moving parts of becoming an effective educator as well as developing an ethnographic view of the students who will pass through my classroom during my tenure as an educator. This ethnographic narrative examines my individual background, the educational spaces within which I find myself, communities I serve, and the students I was given the privilege of building relationships with within the classroom. This project serves as an in-depth analysis of the implicit biases one might hold as a teacher and a vehicle for continual introspection on my part as an effective and culturally-aware educator.

Abstract:
This is a study at the interface of self, craft, and sustainability. It is a small part of a wider personal and social conjecture on the subject of ‘change ’ involving these three domains.This research develops the proposal that the success of a profound social change, which in our time pertains to the change towards sustainable societies, lies in the likeliness of self-transformation in individuals. Here the craft perspective is taken in order to link it to a large body of research in response to environmental and ethical concerns. However, unlike other object-oriented approaches with a similar purpose, the purpose of this research is to seek a greater contribution from craft practice when it is viewed as a transformation of the craftsperson. By referring to this human capacity, it argues, not only is crafting an inducement to self-transformation but also self-transformation can be regarded as a craft. To support this argument, material is drawn from the literature on craft, sustainability, philosophy of the self and social and developmental psychology. The historical and developmental formations of the key areas of the research are explored and psychological factors that motivate desirable ‘changes’ are identified. This exploration is then supported by interviews, personal narratives and the active participation of the researcher in the actual practice of craft. The research suggests that the state of self-actualization, where humanity reaches its fullness, is the destination to which the self needs to transform. It then traces elements involved in such a transformation back to their origin. This includes meanings and values leading to transformation, knowledge leading to meanings, experience leading to knowledge and the embodied connection between the self and the environment leading to experience. At the deepest level, it proposes a particular mode of relationship which is best described as craftsmanship or ‘the craft way of being.’ This process is also traced in the personal experience of the researcher.This thesis concludes with an explanation of the concept of ‘deep craft’. It proposes that the outcome of a deeper understanding of craft, which in effect widens the territory of craft activities, becomes manifest in the world in the form of ‘care taking’, essential for the ‘change’ towards more sustainable societies.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between participation in a culturally-based arts program and the self-efficacy, self-expression, and achievement motivation in at-risk youth attending Atlanta public schools. The theoretical base used to examine this relationship was grounded in the social cognitive. Interviews conducted with students and parents provided demographic information as well as data on the participation in a culturally-based arts program and the resulting effect on self-efficacy, self-expression, and achievement motivation. Participants included a sample of 108 students between 10 and 14 years of age (M = 11.6, SD = .90). The results of the ANOVA data analysis revealed significant mean differences in self-efficacy and self-expression between the culturally-based arts program participation intervention group and the control group. The analysis indicated no significant mean differences in achievement motivation. There were no significant mean differences in self-efficacy from the pretest and posttest between ages. However, there were significant mean differences in self-expression and achievement motivation scores from the pretests and posttests between ages. Social implications of the research revealed the impact of program involvement on the acceptance of diversity within adolescent development. Social change can happen as a result of this acceptance of diversity. With this knowledge, curricula developers and program implementers may better identify the negative views associated with free expression that have the potential to drive students toward a rejection of academic success or performance-avoidance in the educational environment.

Abstract:
My dissertation is a selection of essays that reflect upon human potential, particularly but not exclusively, within educational environments. I offer theory and practices that suggest that under the right conditions educators and students will move towards the far reaches of their own creative capacities. I offer my own experience and practice as an exemplar of possibilities. I make proposals about educators and education of educators that represent a paradigm shift from centralizing curriculum and content to focusing on care, nurturance, subjective and inter-subjective understanding, and development of educators. The reader is invited to see educators as central, and is encouraged towards the possibility that educators must be supported, encouraged, and cared for in order to support emergence of their vitality, first for themselves and subsequently for students. I outline an approach that puts human beings in educational environments first in practical and specific ways. Integration of personal experience and curriculum material is explicated. The importance of personal inner work for educators is highlighted. Inner Work is characterized as a personal and spiritual process. The claim that educators need to have group facilitation skills is made and evidence offered. Philosophical and theoretical background from education, eastern and western philosophy, humanistic and transpersonal psychology, process-oriented methods, and counselling psychology are drawn upon. The approach is holistic and systemic. The human is viewed as important but not separate from other living beings or the environment. The values of presence, care, and deep democracy underlie the ideas. The importance of relationality and I-Thou connection are explicated. The writing and research draws on a variety of qualitative approaches, including, living inquiry, autobiography, and self-study, as well as conceptual, narrative, poetic, auto-ethnographic, heuristic, and analytic methods. The material, personal, and ephemeral are investigated as integrated parts of the Dao-Field of education and life.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to show how painting, in Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890), is an active expression of the Dutch painter�s madness, inner anxieties and social unease through the vigour of the sign and the brutal incandescence of colour. The pictorial material is a direct manifestation of the inner datum and becomes a means of exorcising the �evil of living� that consumed the artist. Within this work, we will consider how in the works of Van Gogh, forerunner of the expressionist language, creativity and madness coexist simultaneously. In his aesthetic operations, in fact, those unconscious processes emerge that are expressed through creative action. This study aims to demonstrate how, however, the state of madness manifested by the painter can lead, through logical processes, to the birth and production of creative objects. At the same time, however, the madness, linked to psychopathology, will result in a self-aggressive energy, negatively influencing his psyche, leading him into a depressive condition and subsequently to death. The present work, therefore, consists of a careful psychological analysis of the Dutch painter�s creative and at the same time destructive thinking, which led him to create works that would gradually reflect his state of mind and accompany him towards his end through increasingly textured and swirling brushstrokes.

Abstract:
Abstract The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 established an objective of Nuclear Waste disposal in a deep geological repositary. This act was later amended in 1987, and established Nevada as the only site to be characterized. In 1994 a technical decision was made for a multipurpose container consisting of a outer barrier of carbon steel, alloy 400 or Cu-Ni 70/30 and an inner barrier of alloy 825. This concept was later modified to require a more corrosion resistant alloy for the inner barrier i.e., an alloy of the Ni-Cr-Mo family , alloy 22 (UNS N06022) , titanium or a titanium alloy. Since then many papers(1-6) have been written comparing the corrosion resistant characteristics of alloys 825, 625 , C-276 and alloy 22. The design waste package underwent several iterations with one of the latest design called “ Enhanced Design Alternative” (EDA) which will consist of 20 mm thick alloy 22 as the outer container barrier. This will be shrunk fit to a 50mm thick inner barrier fabricated of type 316 nuclear grade or standard 316L SS. This waste package was then to be enclosed by a self-supported 20 mm thick Ti-grade-7 mailbox shaped drip shield. In the authors’ opinion this design may be further modified as more comprehensive corrosion characteristics of uniform corrosion, localized corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, thermal stability, microbiological corrosion, galvanic corrosion, intergranular corrosion for both the base metal and more importantly, the weld joints in these waste containers under realistic repository environments are obtained. This paper presents data on a new but well established corrosion resistant alloy 59 (UNS N06059) of the Ni-Cr-Mo family. Alloy 59 appears to have better corrosion resistance , both uniform and localized, and better thermal stability than alloy 22 as measured in standard ASTM laboratory tests. Data from some of these laboratory tests on alloy 59 and 22 along with the various interactions with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories and the TRW Environmental Safety Systems , Management and Operating Contractor for the waste package design, are discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract Safe and reliable fueling components are essential for large scale deployment of H2 fuel. Field data has shown that existing materials used in dispensing hoses do not meet current standards for component reliability. Currently modern copolymerization methods are under investigation to create a new platform for inner hose technologies using self-healable copolymers. Ideally these inexpensive self-healable copolymer inner layers will reduce the cost of H2 delivery hoses and extend their service life beyond 25,000 refills. In this work gas driven hydrogen permeability measurements were performed on a variety of self-healing copolymer membranes all of which have exhibited excellent self-healing properties in previous studies. Copolymers were prepared with Poly(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate/n-butyl acrylate) [p(TFEMA/nBA)] and Poly(methyl methacrylate/nbutyl acrylate) [p(MMA/nBA)]. Measurements were performed through a range of temperatures and source pressures. Additionally, the effects of composition, copolymer ratio, and molecular weight on the hydrogen permeability, solubility, and diffusivity were all studied. As expected, hydrogen permeation through the samples is proportional to the source pressure and inversely proportional to the molecular weight of the polymer. In general, the self-healing copolymers exhibit hydrogen permeabilities consistent with literature data for similar elastomers. These results suggest this class of self-healable copolymers may be promising candidates for use as inexpensive inner layers in hydrogen dispensing hoses with extended service life.

Abstract:
Workplace spirituality has been defined as a framework for organizational values that is part of the culture, connection, and future. AKA is a small woman-owned, spirit-led business. Our mission and vision direct us toward programs, research, evaluation, and communities that match our values, theories, and interests. Because spirituality is essential for wellness, well teams, and well communities, we designed this study to explore AKA team member views about spirituality and how they incorporate spirituality in their work. The following research questions to guide this study: 1) What are some spiritual practices of AKA team members? and 2) How do spiritual practices influence the inner self, outer self, and team/clients? Methods: Data for this study were collected from AKA Associates with Zoom interviews from May 2023 to July 2023. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed using Otter.ai, cleaned, and coded using thematic analysis. Results: The research team contacted twelve AKA associates; nine were eligible to participate. Two were male, and seven were female. The thematic analysis revealed three major workplace spirituality themes: beliefs, practices, and experiences. Spiritual beliefs varied among the team. Many cited a belief in God or a higher power. Others mentioned goodness, altruism, and a Divine connection to the path they are on. Practices have to do with the outer self and what we do, what we see, and what we hear. AKA associates’ practices vary from prayer, journaling, forgiveness, burning sage, being in nature, attending church, having joy, gratitude, and involvement in church/faith communities. AKA associates talked about their varied experiences, including service, generosity, empowerment, grounding, integrity/accountability, advocacy, and authenticity. Discussion: This qualitative study found that beliefs, practices, and experiences create connections and enduring relationships. Within the AKA team, beliefs varied about spirituality. Some believed in a Creator or God; others talked about a higher power, goodness, or nothing. Spirituality in the workplace has the potential to improve the health and well-being of employees and clients served. Spiritual beliefs vary within individuals and organizations; what is most important is the experiences that result from a spiritual orientation. When personal, organizational, and spiritual values align, growth, creativity, and innovation happen.

Quick, Stephen A. Self Evaluation of OVE's Work: 2001-2010. Inter-American Development Bank, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0010551.

Full text
Abstract:
This self evaluation has been prepared by the Office of Evaluation and Oversight (OVE) in response to a request from Executive Directors to support the work of the Independent Review Panel (IRP), which has been tasked with undertaking an external, independent review of the evaluation function at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). Over the 10 years of its existence, OVE has produced a substantial volume of evaluation work, including 47 country program evaluations, 98 other documents in the "RE" series that are sent to the Board for consideration, 27 evaluation reports for the MIF, IIC and Japan Special Fund, and 65 technical reports and working papers. OVE has established formal procedures for the quality control of its evaluations, relying on both internal and external peer reviews of documents sent to the Board. The quality of data available varies across the range of evaluation studies, and some are able to mobilize better empirical information than others. Comments on the quality of OVE documents recorded in the minutes of Board discussions are overwhelmingly favorable. Across a broad range of issues, OVE has issued reports that challenge the empirical basis of prevailing claims regarding the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability of Bank interventions in the region. These challenges have sometimes provoked controversy, but on the whole, it is OVE's view that these controversies have been helpful to the institution in deepening thought and opening up new possibilities. In thinking about the future of the evaluation function at the IDB, this self evaluation highlights the role that an independent, empirically focused, challenging OVE can play in opening up possibilities for institutional change and improvement. While there are clear opportunities for improvement in the work of the Office, (including improved outreach, more explicit and actionable recommendations, explicit and measurable quality standards for evaluation work) it's essential institutional role of challenging complacency deserves to be preserved.

Abstract:
This report summarizes the results of the Office of Evaluation and Oversight's (OVE) annual validation of the self-assessments of project performance and results completed by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and IDB Invest in 2019-2020. The IDB and IDB Invest have systems in place to measure the development effectiveness of their operations. These systems use a number of instruments to assess projects at the design, implementation, and completion phases. The design-phase assessment uses a “Development Effectiveness Matrix” (DEM) for sovereign guaranteed (SG) operations. The effectiveness of non-sovereign guaranteed (NSG) operations is measured with a “Development Effectiveness Learning, Tracking, and Assessment tool” (DELTA). Implementation-phase assessments measure SG operations with “Project Monitoring Reports,” while NSG operations are assessed with “Project Supervision Reports.” Upon completion, SG projects are self-evaluated with “Project Completion Reports,” or PCRs. NSG operations, use “Expanded Supervision Reports,” or XSRs when they reach early operation maturity (EOM). OVE validates Managements self-evaluations (PCRs and XSRs) and assigns a final project performance rating to each operation. As part of the 2020 validation cycle, OVE reviewed PCRs for 63 operations, 62 with operational closure (CO fully justified) in 2018 and one in 2013. XSRs were reviewed for 36 IDB Invest operations that had reached early operating maturity (EOM) in 2018.

Full text
Abstract:
The mechanics of snow friction are central to competitive skiing, safe winter driving and efficient polar sleds. For nearly 80 years, prevailing theory has postulated that self-lubrication accounts for low kinetic friction on snow: dry-contact sliding warms snow grains to the melting point, and further sliding produces meltwater layers that lubricate the interface. We sought to verify that self-lubrication occurs at the grain scale and to quantify the evolution of real contact area to aid modeling. We used high-resolution (15 μm) infrared thermography to observe the warming of stationary snow under a rotating polyethylene slider. Surprisingly, we did not observe melting at contacting snow grains despite low friction values. In some cases, slider shear failed inter-granular bonds and produced widespread snow movement with no persistent contacts to melt (μ &lt; 0.03). When the snow grains did not move and persistent contacts evolved, the slider abraded rather than melted the grains at low resistance (μ &lt; 0.05). Optical microscopy revealed that the abraded particles deposited in air pockets between grains and thereby carried heat away from the interface, a process not included in current models. Overall, our results challenge whether self-lubrication is indeed the dominant mechanism underlying low snow kinetic friction.

Abstract:
This empirical study investigates AI knowledge, beliefs, and reported practices among secondary school learners of English, French, and Spanish in Germany (n=226). A survey revealed significant gaps between students' self-perceived and actual understanding of AI as well as their use and critical reflection on it. The findings suggest that integrating AI into foreign language learning, initially through targeted teacher training, is instrumental to develop both functional and evaluative skills among students, thereby sustainably fostering critical digital literacy.

Abstract:
In this 1-year feasibility study, we tried polymerization of several different monomers, commercial as well as novel, specially designed and synthesized for this project in the presence of the nitrate ion to produce imprinted conductive polymers. Polymers 1 and 2 (shown below) produced a response to nitrate, but one inferior to that produced by a polypyrrole (Ppy)-based sensor (which we demonstrated prior to this study). Thus, we elected to proceed with improving the stability of the Ppy-based sensor. In order to improve stability of the Ppy-based sensor, we created a two-layer design which includes nitrate-doped Ppy as an inner layer, and nitrate-doped PEDOT as the outer layer. PEDOT is known for its high environmental stability and conductivity. This design has demonstrated promise, but is still undergoing optimization and stability testing. Previously we had failed to create nitrate-doped PEDOT in the absence of a Ppy layer. Nitrate-doped PEDOT should be very promising for sensor applications due to its high stability and exceptional sensing properties as we showed previously for sensing of perchlorate ions (by perchlorate-doped PEDOT). During this year, we have succeeded in preparing nitrate-doped PEDOT (4 below) by designing a new starting monomer (compound 3 below) for polymerization. We are currently testing this design for nitrate sensing. In parallel with the fabrication design studies, we fabricated and tested nitrate-doped Ppy sensors in a series of flow studies under laboratory and field conditions. Nitrate-doped Ppy sensors are less stable than is desirable but provide excellent nitrate sensing characteristics for the short-term experiments focusing on packaging and deployment strategies. The fabricated sensors were successfully interfaced with a commercial battery-powered self-logging (Onset Computer Hobo Datalogger) and a wireless data acquisition and transmission system (Crossbow Technologies MDA300 sensor interface and Mica2 wireless mote). In a series of flow-through experiments with water, the nitrate-doped Ppy sensors were exposed to pulses of dissolved nitrate and compared favorably with an expensive commercial sensor. In 24-hour field tests in both Merced and in Palmdale, CA agricultural soils, the sensors responded to introduced nitrate pulses, but with different dynamics relative to the larger commercial sensors. These experiments are on-going but suggest a form factor (size, shape) effect of the sensor when deployed in a porous medium such as soil. To fill the need for a miniature reference electrode, we identified and tested one commercial version (Cypress Systems, ESA Mini-reference electrode) which works well but is expensive ($190). To create an inexpensive miniature reference electrode, we are exploring the use of AgCl-coated silver wire. This electrode is not a “true” reference electrode; however, it can calibrated once versus a commercial reference electrode at the time of deployment in soil. Thus, only one commercial reference electrode would suffice to support a multiple sensor deployment.

Abstract:
This report summarizes the 2023 results of the Office of Evaluation and Oversight's (OVE's) annual review of project performance at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Group. Every year, IDB Group Management prepares self-evaluations on the final results of its operations. These are called Project Completion Reports (PCRs) at the IDB and Expanded Supervision Reports (XSRs) at IDB Invest. PCRs and XSRs are then validated by OVE to ensure that they are substantiated by evidence and are prepared in accordance with their respective guidelines. Self-evaluations are intended to serve as accountability and learning tools. The IDB Group's project evaluation methodology is objectives-based. Project performance is rated based on four core criteria: (i) relevance of the project's goals and design, (ii) effectiveness or the degree to which the project achieved the specific objectives for which it was approved, (iii) efficiency with which the objectives were achieved, and (iv) sustainability of the results achieved. Each project then receives an overall outcome rating, calculated as a weighted average of the core criteria ratings, where effectiveness has the highest weight. In addition, two noncore criteria are rated for IDB operations (Bank performance and borrower performance), while three are rated for IDB Invest operations (additionality, investment profitability, and work quality). OVE also rates the quality of the self-evaluation reports by Management. The overall outcome is rated on a six-point scale, while core criteria, noncore criteria, and PCR and XSR quality are rated on a four-point scale. For simplicity, this report groups ratings into “positive” and “negative,” where positive corresponds to the top half ratings in the scale, and negative to the bottom half.
