Interdisciplinary Contextualization, Students’ Conceptual Understanding And Achievement In Mathematics, Charlene A. Aquilesca Apr 2024

Interdisciplinary Contextualization, Students’ Conceptual Understanding And Achievement In Mathematics, Charlene A. Aquilesca

Annual Research Congress for High School and Elementary Teachers, Researchers, and Scholars (ARCHERS)

The low level of understanding in mathematics has become a significant concern in the country. The Common Core Standards in Mathematics emphasize the importance of conceptual understanding as a key component of mathematical expertise. Moltz (2010) identified interdisciplinary contextualization as one of the features of the K to 12 Curriculum, viewing it as a form of deep learning that occurs through linking ideas and concepts across courses. McLendon (2014) added that this approach helps students find and create meaning through experience, drawing from prior knowledge to build upon existing knowledge. Thus, to maintain quality education in the country, teachers should …

Consistent Partitioning Of A Dataset Undergoing Streaming Updates, Jonathan Halcrow, Siddhartha Jayanti

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes techniques to partition a stream of N items into groups approximately of size S under the constraint that a slight alteration in the stream changes the partitions only slightly. Per the techniques, the items are sorted by a hash of their identifier. The length N of the stream is estimated using, e.g., the Flajolet-Martin algorithm. The number of bits B of the hash to be considered is given by B = floor(log2(N/S)), where S is the target partition size. A point in the stream is assigned to a bucket identified by …

College of Humanities and Social Sciences Departmental Research

Background: Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) therapy for refractory postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (rPCS) is associated with high early mortality rates. This study aimed to identify negative predictors of mid-term survival and to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and recovery of the survivors. Methods: Between 2017 and 2020, 142 consecutive patients received ECLS therapy following cardiac surgery. The median age was 66.0 [57.0–73.0] years, 67.6% were male and the median EuroSCORE II was 10.5% [4.2–21.3]. In 48 patients, HRQoL was examined using the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) and the modified Rankin-Scale (mRS) at a median follow-up time of 2.2 [1.9–3.2] …

Music For Anxiolysis In Primigravida Undergoing Cesarean Delivery Under Neuraxial Anesthesia, Jonathan Garcia Apr 2024

Music For Anxiolysis In Primigravida Undergoing Cesarean Delivery Under Neuraxial Anesthesia, Jonathan Garcia

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

Primigravida women undergoing cesarean section under neuraxial anesthesia frequently suffer from anxiety in the perioperative period. Literature suggests this population suffers disproportionately due to gender, surgical naiveness, lack of birthing experience, fear of complications, and exposure to the operating theatre’s noxious environment. Despite the high anxiety prevalence and numerous negative consequences, safe treatment options are lacking. Unfortunately, contemporary pharmacologic therapy to treat anxiety threatens the parturient and the fetus. However, the field of medicine has long appreciated music’s physiologically calming effects on the body. This project details a literature search, review, synthesis, and analysis of the available literature supporting and …

Comprehensive Question And Answer Generation With Llama 2, Matous Hybl Apr 2024

Comprehensive Question And Answer Generation With Llama 2, Matous Hybl

MS in Computer Science Theses

Since the introduction of transformers, large language models have proven capable in many natural language processing fields. However, existing systems still face challenges in generating high-quality extractive questions. Base models and public chatbots fall short if the question source or quantity are critical. Our contribution is a question and answer generator for generating comprehensive, extractive questions and answers. This approach includes fine-tuning a LLaMA 2 base model for answer extraction (AE) and question generation (QG). We evaluate the resulting system using common automated metrics and a manual evaluation. We find that our system is comparable to the latest research and …

Investigation Of Superconducting Properties In Ybco Using Proton Irradiation, Joseph Fogt, Hope Weeda, Trevor Harrison, Nolan Miles Apr 2024

Investigation Of Superconducting Properties In Ybco Using Proton Irradiation, Joseph Fogt, Hope Weeda, Trevor Harrison, Nolan Miles

23rd Annual A. Paul and Carol C. Schaap Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2024)

We studied the effect of 600 keV proton irradiation on thin-film Cuprate superconductors. A 500 nm thick YBCO-1237 sample was subjected to a series of proton irradiations using Hope College’s particle accelerator, using a cryocooler to test the resistivity of the sample in between irradiations. We found that the superconducting critical temperature (TC) drastically decreased from 90 K towards zero Kelvin, and the normal state resistivity increased accordingly. The rate of TC reduction to resistivity increase will be used to discuss the fundamental property of the superconductor.

Effects Of Delayed Hca Exposure On A Rat Model Of Bipolar Disorder, Eden Comer, Natalie Olander Apr 2024

Effects Of Delayed Hca Exposure On A Rat Model Of Bipolar Disorder, Eden Comer, Natalie Olander

23rd Annual A. Paul and Carol C. Schaap Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2024)

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a neuropsychological disorder featuring cyclical periods of depressive and manic behaviors. The Chase lab aims to develop a reliable animal model for BD in order to characterize its critical neurological triggers. Previous work has shown that daily injection of rat pups from postnatal day 3 through 19 (P3-P19) with homocysteic acid (HCA) produces a mixed manic and depressive state after puberty. These behaviors can be reversed by lithium treatment and involve changes in gene expression in the prefrontal cortex that are also improperly regulated in BD. Despite this model's reproducibility, we observed critical changes in the …

Low Back Loading During Patient Handling Tasks, Grant Seyller Apr 2024

Low Back Loading During Patient Handling Tasks, Grant Seyller

23rd Annual A. Paul and Carol C. Schaap Celebration of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (2024)

Lower back disorders are common among the general population, and are the leading cause of disability worldwide. Nurses and others in the healthcare profession are the most at risk for lower back pain, due to the repeated lifting and handling of patients. In a survey from 2001, over 40,000 nurses from 5 different countries were surveyed, and 39% said they would leave their occupation in the next year because of the physical demands. Because of the prevalence of low back pain in nurses, understanding how patient handling tasks and the weight of patients affect the lower back is important to …
