An Approximate Model For Total Amount Of Non-Life Insurance Claims Using Generalized Gamma Distribution And H-Function, E. Abderrahim, C. Toufik, E. Youness, E. Mostafa

Journal of Statistics Applications & Probability

This article proposes an analytical method to approximate the probability density function (PDF) and the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the total amount of non-life claims to be paid by the insurer over a financial period considered. The individual claims amounts are independent positive random variables following the generalized gamma distribution (GGD) and distributed in a non-identical manner. The analytical approach suggested relies on the Fox H-function. The Fox H-function has various applications available in the literature. The method developed has demonstrated its performance both in respect of the result obtained (in comparison to the Monte-Carlo method) and in respect …

Science Teaching Efficacy And Science Outcome Expectancy Among Early Childhood Preservice Teachers: Effects Of Constructivist Beliefs Vs. Traditional Beliefs, Hyunjin Kim

College of Education Faculty Publications

This study examined early childhood preservice teachers’ perceived science teaching efficacy and its association with their teaching beliefs (constructivist and traditional beliefs). The participants included 181 preservice teachers enrolled in an early childhood teacher education program at a university in the Midwestern United States. Information was collected using the Science Teaching Efficacy Beliefs Instrument – Preservice (STEBI-B) and Teaching Beliefs Survey (TBS). The results revealed that the preservice teachers were efficacious about their science teaching, showing a negative relation with traditional teaching beliefs and no statistically significant relation with constructivist teaching beliefs. The results of hierarchical regression analyses revealed that …

Bridging Gaps In Image Meme Research: A Multidisciplinary Paradigm For Scaling Up Qualitative Analyses, Mridula Mascarenhas, Daniel Ari Friedman, Richard J. Cordes

HCOM Faculty Publications and Presentations

This paper outlines a multidisciplinary framework (Digital Rhetorical Ecosystem or DRE3) for scaling up qualitative analyses of image memes. First, we make a case for applying rhetorical theory to examine image memes as quasi-arguments that promote claims on a variety of political and social issues. Next, we argue for integrating rhetorical analysis of image memes into an ecological framework to trace interaction and evolution of memetic claims as they coalesce into evidence ecosystems that inform public narratives. Finally, we apply a computational framework to address the particular problem of claim identification in memes at large scales. Our integrated framework answers …

Building Societal Resilience Against Child Grooming Using Digital Technologies: The Solution Design, Christina Thorpe, Armin Shams, Matt Bowden

Conference Papers

Extended Abstract

Child grooming is when someone builds a relationship, trust and emotional connection with a child so they can manipulate, exploit and abuse them, therefore building societal resilience against it is of prime importance1. Although progress has been made, it is among the yet unresolved challenges in Ireland (the focus of research). With direct SFI2 training support and using Theory of Change and Design Science as the methods for research and innovation, we have done extensive stakeholder analysis, and we keep doing it further such that a solution is evolved in order to create societal resilience against child grooming, …

Transformational Leadership Behaviors Of Department Leaders As A Predictor Of Collective Teacher Efficacy, Jason Stanton

Selected Full Text Dissertations, 2011-

Researchers generally credit Albert Bandura for providing the theoretical framework for studying collective teacher efficacy. Research shows that principals using transformational leadership behaviors significantly impact collective teacher efficacy. Policies, such as Every Student Succeeds Act, increasingly put pressure on school districts to improve student achievement or lose funding. Supporting literature and research shows that improving collective teacher efficacy improves student performance regardless of student socioeconomic status. Therefore, a department leader’s ability to increase collective teacher efficacy amongst staff directly influences the student achievement within their school district. This researcher investigated the relationship between transformational leader behaviors of department leaders and …

Australian University Outcomes: A National Study Comparing Ibdp And Non-Ibdp Students, Kylie Hillman, Daniel Edwards, Leyna Clarke

Higher education research

This study compares the university outcomes of students who completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) in Australia compared to non-DP students nationally. The findings are based on population-level data for all students who applied to and entered universities in Australia between 2013 and 2018. To address differences in DP and non-DP student characteristics, the researchers further examined outcomes by groups within the populations that are more alike, for example, by gender and socio-economic status. Across all cohorts, DP students gain offers of university admission, continue to their second year of study, and complete university for all check points …

Tools And Strategies For Successful Classroom Education, Madalyn Peterson

Integrated Studies

The purpose of this paper will be to discuss resources and tools that can be used in the classroom. These tools will involve successfully establishing classroom management. Classroom management is as simple as creating a routine for the students in the classroom, which will also guide the students through the classroom expectations. Setting expectations is crucial and will assist students by helping them gain an understanding of what is expected of them while in the classroom, and while they are working. This also establishes what kind of role model the teacher plans to be in the classroom. When a teacher …

On A Fully Coupled Nonlocal Multipoint Boundary Value Problem For A Dual Hybrid System Of Nonlinear Q -Fractional Differential Equations, Ahmed Alsaedi, Martin Bohner, Bashir Ahmad, Boshra Alharbi

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

A new class of nonlocal multipoint boundary value problems involving a dual hybrid system of nonlinear Riemann-Liouville-type q-fractional differential equations is studied in this paper. Existence and uniqueness results for the given problem are derived by applying the Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative and the Banach contraction mapping principle. Examples are presented for illustrating the obtained results. The work established in this paper is a useful contribution to the existing literature on q-fractional differential equations. Some interesting special cases are also discussed.

Critical Point Approaches To Nonlinear Square Root Laplacian Equations, Martin Bohner, Giuseppe Caristi, Shapour Heidarkhani, Amjad Salari

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

This work is devoted to the study of multiplicity results of solutions for a class of nonlinear equations involving the square root of the Laplacian. Indeed, we will use variational methods for smooth functionals, defined on reflexive Banach spaces, in order to achieve the existence of at least three solutions for the equations. Moreover, assuming that the nonlinear terms are nonnegative, we will prove that the solutions are nonnegative. Finally, by presenting an example, we will ensure the applicability of our results.
