Early Detection Of Mental Health Through Universal Screening At Schools, Jihye Kim, Dong-Gook Kim, Randy Kamphaus

Georgia Educational Researcher

Depression, anxiety, and stress are common mental health problems among adolescents. Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have found that students who suffer from mental health problems (e.g., ADHD, anxiety, or depression) tend to manifest school and social problems. It is urgent to identify and intervene early to help children with mental health problems to improve their life outcomes. Unfortunately, research has shown that a significant proportion of children who suffer from behavioral or emotional problems remain unidentified because their symptoms are too mild to be noticed through casual observation by caregivers and teachers. As a result, their symptoms continue to develop …

On The Use Of Allen’S Interval Algebra In The Coordination Of Resource Consumption By Transactional Business Processes, Zakaria Maamar, Fadwa Yahya, Lassaad Ben Ammar

All Works

This paper presents an approach to coordinate the consumption of resources by transactional business processes. Resources are associated with consumption properties known as unlimited, limited, limited-but-extensible, shareable, and non-shareable restricting their availabilities at consumption-time. And, processes are associated with transactional properties known as pivot, retriable, and compensatable restricting their execution outcomes in term of either success or failure. To consider the intrinsic characteristics of both consumption properties and transactional properties when coordinating resource consumption by processes, the approach adopts Allen’s interval algebra through different time-interval relations like before, overlaps, and during to set up the coordination, which should lead to …

The Impacts Of The Ceo’S Network Effect On Digitalization And Agile Leadership In China, Xihui Chen, Victor Chang, Patricia Baudier, Kienpin Tee

All Works

Digitalization as a business enabler has speeded and scaled innovation in many firms. As the corporate leader, the CEO is there to set the stage for a learning process that facilitates strategic agility and enhances network effects to create value. This study uses innovation efficiency as the proxy of digitalization to examine the contribution of the CEO networks to firm-level innovation efficiency in Chinese listed firms. We apply a frontier analysis approach (e.g., DEA and SFA) and measure innovation efficiency based on the scale ratio of innovation output (i.e., patent counts) and input (R&D investment and R&D personnel). First, we …

In this paper, an algorithm for dynamic planning of optimized flight trajectories has been proposed. The proposed algorithm …

Single Valued Neutrosophic (M; N)-Ideals Of Ordered Semirings, Saba Al-Kaseasbeh, Madeline Al Tahan, Bijan Davvaz, Mariam Hariri

All Works

The aim of this paper is to combine the innovative concept of single valued neutrosophic sets and ordered semirings. It studies ordered semirings by the properties of their single valued neutrosphic subsets. In this regard, we define single valued neutrosophic (m; n)-ideals (SVN-(m; n)-ideals) of ordered semirings. First, we illustrate our new definition by non-trivial examples. Second, we study these SVN-(m; n)-ideals under different operations of SVNS. Finally, we find a relationship between the (m; n)-ideals of ordered semirings and level sets by finding a necessary and sufficient condition for an SVNS of an ordered semiring R to be an …

Changing My Language And Understanding: An Autoethnography Of My Dumb-Upness, Eric Hogan

National Youth Advocacy & Resilience Journal

Education, in its many forms, is an institution that mirrors the society around it, including its patterns of privilege and marginalization (Marx, et al., 2017). The purpose of this article is to provide a reflection of my experiences while working alongside four interns from an alternative school hired to work for an agricultural internship. I highlight my shifting perspectives through an autoethnography. Autoethnographic projects use selfhood, subjectivity, and personal experience (“auto”) to describe, interpret, and represent (“graphy”) beliefs, practices, and identities of a group or culture (“ethno”). (Adams and Herrmann 2020). After working with four interns, I was confronted with …

Bullying Prevention Essay And Art Competitions: Honoring School District Champions, Chasity D. Tompkins

National Youth Advocacy & Resilience Journal

Bullying is not a new concept. In fact, most of us can recall a time when we were bullied, someone else was bullied, or we bullied someone. While bullying can happen anywhere (including online through cyber-bullying), schools are often the center of research. Evaluations on school climate use bullying to help understand relationships. Prevention methods put the teacher or school staff in the driver seat, but these adults may not feel a connection to the work. Our school district created the Bullying Prevention Essay Contest to honor school district champions through literacy. Middle and high school students wrote about adults …

Elementary String Orchestra: A Hybrid Curriculum, Deborah Jeannette Hickey

Masters Theses

Remote and distance musical instruction can be traced back to the earliest transmissions of radio and television. In the last few decades, it has made considerable strides due to the development of the internet and growing supportive software and online platforms. However, when the COVID-19 virus swept the world, many school districts were forced to convert to full- remote instruction instantaneously. While some unique and beneficial strategies developed out of this, many aspects and strategies proved to be less than ideal and inferior to in-person instruction, particularly where it pertained to performance and ensemble-based instrumental instruction. This project strives to …

Food Security Through Disaster Planning In Tanzania: How Agriculture-Based Disaster Preparedness Can Improve Food Security In Tanzania, Savannah A. Emerich

Masters Theses

In Tanzania, half the population lives below the poverty line and suffers from food insecurity. Of the population, women and children primarily suffer from malnutrition due to food insecurity. For Tanzania, the problem is so severe that some women do not name their newborns for weeks or months due to their unlikely survival. This problem worsens for those who have a significant reliance on agriculture and live in the nation’s rural areas. These rural communities face more traumatic burdens when floods and droughts destroy crops, fields, and tools and ruin livelihoods. A solution has not been implemented thus far due …

This revealed temporal decreases in introgression, …

A Global Model-Agnostic Xai Method For The Automatic Formation Of An Abstract Argumentation Framework And Its Objective Evaluation, Giulia Vilone, Luca Longo

Conference papers

Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) aims to train data-driven, machine learning (ML) models possessing both high predictive accuracy and a high degree of explainability for humans. Comprehending and explaining the inferences of a model can be seen as a defeasible reasoning process which is expected to be non-monotonic meaning that a conclusion, linked to a set of premises, can be withdrawn when new information becomes available. Computational argumentation, a paradigm within Artificial Intelligence (AI), focuses on modeling defeasible reasoning. This research study explored a new way for the automatic formation of an argument-based representation of the inference process of a data-driven …
