Full textAbstract:
AbstractWell-preserved microfossils occur in abundance through more than 1000 m of lower Mesoproterozoic siliciclastic rocks composing the Roper Group, Northern Territory, Australia. The Roper assemblage includes 34 taxa, five interpreted unambiguously as eukaryotes, nine as possible eukaryotes (includingBlastanosphaira kokkodanew genus and new species, a budding spheromorph with thin chagrinate walls), eight as possible or probable cyanobacteria, and 12 incertae sedis. Taxonomic richness is highest in inshore facies, and populations interpreted as unambiguous or probable eukaryotes occur most abundantly in coastal and proximal shelf shales. Phylogenetic placement within the Eukarya is difficult, and molecular clock estimates suggest that preserved microfossils may belong, in part orin toto, to stem group eukaryotes (forms that diverged before the last common ancestor of extant eukaryotes, or LECA) or stem lineages within major clades of the eukaryotic crown group (after LECA). Despite this, Roper fossils provide direct or inferential evidence for many basic features of eukaryotic biology, including a dynamic cytoskeleton and membrane system that enabled cells to change shape, life cycles that include resting cysts coated by decay-resistant biopolymers, reproduction by budding and binary division, osmotrophy, and simple multicellularity. The diversity, environmental range, and ecological importance of eukaryotes, however, were lower than in later Neoproterozoic and Phanerozoic ecosystems.

Full textAbstract:
The stratigraphy of the Proterozoic in the McArthur River area of Northern Territory consists of the basal, non-economic Tawallah Group, overlain unconformably by dolomitic carbonates and clastics of the McArthur Group, in turn overlain disconformably by Roper Group clastics. Several shows of tarry to brittle bitumen have been reported in sandstones of the Roper Group and in dolomites of the McArthur Group.In thin sections, the bitumen commonly displays shrinkage cracks, apparently associated with the loss of volatiles. Secondary minerals are observed infilling some of the cracks, indicating those phases of diagenesis which occurred subsequent to breaching of the hydrocarbon bearing reservoir. Additionally, the contact relationships of bitumen with the secondary minerals indicate a relatively early migration of hydrocarbons into the reservoir rocks.The inferred sequence for the McArthur Group dolomites is: early dolomitization and silicification, formation of vuggy (vadose) porosity, authigenic deposition of chalcedony at shallow burial depth, cementation by quartz at deep burial depth, migration of hydrocarbons (contemporaneous with sulphide formation), breaching of the reservoir, degradation of hydrocarbons, and deposition of sparry dolomite cement. The inferred sequence of diagenesis for Roper Group clastic reservoirs in this area is: authigenic deposition of minor quartz and illite cement, migration of hydrocarbon, breaching of the reservoir, major authigenic deposition of quartz and illite, degradation of hydrocarbon, and cementation by dolomite, hematite, and kaolinite.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Persistently low atmospheric oxygen requires that net organic carbon burial was muted through much of Earth’s middle age. In order to achieve global mass balance with respect to O2, recent models have suggested that redox-dependent mechanisms, such as Fe(II)-phosphate precipitation, limited phosphate availability in dominantly anoxic and ferruginous oceans, in turn limiting net primary production, and therefore organic carbon burial. Nevertheless, observational constraints on phosphorus cycling in ferruginous Proterozoic systems are rare, leaving these models largely untested. Here, we present high-resolution petrographic and mineralogical data showing that the 1.3 Ga Sherwin Ironstone (Roper Group, Australia) was dominated by syndepositional precipitation of the Fe(II)-silicate minerals greenalite and berthierine, interlaminated with abundant authigenic calcium fluorapatite (CFA). Set in a quantitative geochemical framework, these data reveal that elevated marine SiO2(aq) concentrations facilitated extensive Fe(II)-silicate production, leaving CFA, rather than Fe(II)-phosphate, as the principal inorganic phosphorous sink in shallow-water Roper Group sediments. More broadly, the physical and chemical factors that triggered Fe(II)-silicate and CFA burial in the Roper Seaway highlight semi-restricted basins as important loci of phosphorus removal from the mid-Proterozoic ocean.

Full textAbstract:
Recent exploration studies on the stratigraphic framework, depositional environment and tectonic setting of the Mesoproterozoic Roper Group in the McArthur Basin, have led to an improved understanding of the highly prospective organic-rich shales of the Velkerri and Kyalla Formations. From a review of open-file drill core and well logs, several major regressive–transgressive (R–T) cycles have been identified along with four key facies associations within the Roper Group. The R–T cycles show sedimentary features typical of deposition within a clastic-dominated marine deltaic setting and show marked lateral variation in facies and thicknesses. The lateral thickness variations are particularly noticeable across regional 2D seismic lines. Seismic interpretation and well correlation confirm the extensive and relatively undeformed nature of the Velkerri and Kyalla Formations in the subsurface, they appear thickest in the south-east of the Beetaloo Sub-Basin.

APPEA Journal 34, no. 1 (1994): 279. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/aj93026.
Full textAbstract:
Organic rich shale units ranging up to 350 m in thickness with total organic carbon (TOC) values generally between one and ten per cent are present at several stratigraphic levels in the upper part of the Carpentarian Roper Group. Considerable variation in depositional environment is suggested by large differences in carbon:sulphur ratios and trace metal contents at different stratigraphic levels, but all of the preserved organic matter appears to be algal-sourced and hydrogen-rich. Conventional Rock-Eval pyrolysis indicates that a type I-II kerogen is present throughout.The elemental chemistry of this kerogen, shows a unique chemical evolution pathway on the ternary C:H:ONS diagram which differs from standard pathways followed by younger kerogens, suggesting that the maturation histories of Proterozoic basins may differ significantly from those of younger oil and gas producing basins. Extractable organic matter (EOM) from Roper Group source rocks shows a chemical evolution from polar rich to saturate rich with increasing maturity. Alginite reflectance increases in stepwise fashion through the zone of oil and gas generation, and then increases rapidly at higher levels of maturation. The increase in alginite reflectance with depth or proximity to sill contacts is lognormal.The area explored by Pacific Oil and Gas includes a northern area where the Velkerri Formation is within the zone of peak oil generation and the Kyalla Member is immature, and a southern area, the Beetaloo sub-basin, where the zone of peak oil generation is within the Kyalla Member. Most oil generation within the basin followed significant folding and faulting of the Roper Group.

Full textAbstract:
Exploration over Roper Group outcrop in the McArthur Basin prompted Pacific Oil & Gas to investigate the petroleum potential of the Beetaloo Sub-basin, a 15 000 km2 Proterozoic depression concealed beneath Phanerozoic cover. Since 1989 drilling and seismic has identified a broadly flat-lying sequence with uplifted, eroded margins. A 3 500 m composite Proterozoic section consisting of three sandstone-to-mudstone sequences has been drilled. The lower two sequences comprise conformable units of the Mesoproterozoic upper Roper Group and unconformably overlying them is a previously unknown sequence comprising the informally labelled 'Jamison Sandstone' and 'Hayfield Mudstone', probably of Neoproterozoic age.Organic-rich intervals in the Roper Group mudstones range one to three per cent TOC in the Kyalla Member, and two to seven per cent TOC in the 'Middle' Velkerri Formation. Across most of the sub-basin the oil window lies within the Kyalla Member around 900–1350 m, while the 'Middle' Velkerri Formation is around 2 500 m and well into overmaturity, but may still have potential for gas. Potential reservoirs in the Bessie Creek, Moroak and 'Jamison' Sandstones, and in sandy units within the mudstones, are compromised by diagenesis, but porosities of up to 20 per cent and permeabilities of tens and rarely hundreds of millidarcies have been measured. Encouraging shows were observed in many of these intervals, and small quantities of oil and gas have been recovered in drill stem tests. With only a few targets drilled to date, this frontier area requires more exploration before its hydrocarbon potential can be adequately assessed.

Full textAbstract:
This article tracks how group egotists disavow their hate group identity. Group egotists are individuals born and raised in hate groups. The well-documented exit cases of Megan Phelps-Roper (Westboro Baptist Church) and Derek Black (White Nationalism) prove that hate group indoctrination can be undermined. A predominantly epistemic approach, which focuses on argument and conversational virtues, falls short in capturing the complexity of their apostasies. I turn to pragmatism for conceptual support. Using the work of Richard Rorty and William James, I explain how redemptive relationships and alternative lifeworlds participate in weakening belief-systems, leading to the disavowal of the hate group.

Full textAbstract:
Mature, rich, potential source beds and adjacent potential reservoir beds exist in the Middle Proterozoic sequence (1400-1800 Ma) of the McArthur Basin. The McArthur and Nathan Groups consist mainly of evaporitic and stromatolitic cherty dolostones interbedded with dolomitic siltstone and shale. They were deposited in interfingering marginal marine, lacustrine and fluvial environments. Lacustrine dolomitic siltstones form potential source beds, while potential reservoirs include vuggy brecciated carbonates associated with penecontemporaneous faulting and rare coarse-grained clastics. In contrast, the younger Roper Group consists of quartz arenite, siltstone and shale that occur in more uniform facies deposited in a stable marine setting. Both source and reservoir units are laterally extensive (over 200 km).Five potential source rocks at various stages of maturity have been discovered. Two of these source rocks, the lacustrine Barney Creek Formation in the McArthur Group and the marine Velkerri Formation in the Roper Group, compare favourably in thickness and potential with rich demonstrated source rocks in major oil-producing provinces. There is abundant evidence of migration of hydrocarbons at many stratigraphic levels. The geology and reservoir characteristics of the sediments in combination with the distribution of potential source beds, timing of hydrocarbon generation, evidence for migration and chances of preservation have been used to rank the prospectivity of the various stratigraphic units in different parts of the basin.

Full textAbstract:
Maturation parameters based on aromatic hydrocarbons, and particularly the methyl-phenanthrene index (MPI-1), are powerful indicators which can be used to define the oil window in Proterozoic and Early Palaeozoic petroleum source rocks and to compare maturities and detect migration in very old oils . The conventional vitrinite reflectance yardstick for maturity is not readily translated to these ancient sediments because they predate the evolution of the land plant precursors to vitrinite. While whole-rock geochemical tools such as Rock-Eval and TOC are useful for evaluation of petroleum potential, they can be imprecise when applied to maturity assessments.In this study, we carried out a range of detailed geochemical analyses on McArthur Basin boreholes penetrating the Roper Group source rocks. We determined the depth profiles for hydrocarbon generation based on Rock-Eval analysis of whole-rock, solvent-extracted rock, kerogen elemental H/C ratio and pyrolysis GC. Although we found that Hydrogen Index (HI) and the Tmax parameter were strongly correlated with other maturation indicators, they were not sufficiently sensitive nor were they universally applicable. Maturation measurements based on saturated biomarkers were not useful either because of the low abundance of these compounds in most Roper Group bitumens and oils.

SAMMANFATTNING Studien var en jämförande longitudinell studie där syftet var att undersöka om den självskattade hälsan förbättrades för personer (n=14) som deltagit i hälsokurs inom arbetsmarknadsprojektet Romano Zor. Frågeställningen var: förändras självskattad hälsa över tid för deltagare i ett arbetsmarknadsprojekt? Datainsamlingsmetod var Hälsoenkät SF-36 som mäter självrapporterad fysisk och psykisk hälsa, med åtta delskalor. Resultatet visar att romerna, i basmätningen (n=28), skattade sin hälsa sämre än personerna i normdata grupperna, i samtliga skalor. I fem delskalor skattar deltagarna (n=14), som svarade på enkäten även vid andra mätningen, sin hälsa sämre efter att de genomgått projektet (mätning över tid). Kvinnorna skattar generellt sin hälsa sämre än männen. Undantaget en fråga som rör förändring av hälsan över tid, där kvinnorna skattar bättre hälsa än männen. I denna fråga skattar majoriteten av deltagarna en bättre eller likvärdig hälsa i andra mätningen, jämfört med bas mätningen. Slutsats: personer med romskt ursprung som deltar i en hälsokurs i ett arbetsmarknadsprojekt, skattar en förbättrad hälsa över tid i några hälsofaktorer, mätt med hälsoenkät SF 36.ABSTRACT The study was a comparative longitudinal study where the aim was to investigate whether self-rated health improved for persons (n=14) who participated in the health course in a labor project Romano Zor. The issue was: changed self-rated health over time for participants in a social project? Data collection method was a health survey SF-36, which measures self-rated physical and mental health, with eight sub-scales. The results show that the Roma, in the base measurement (n = 28), rated their health worse than their counterparts in standard data groups, in all scales. In five sub-scales underestimate the participants (n = 14), respondents were also at the second measurement, their health worse after they completed the project (measurement over time). The women generally underestimate their health worse than men. The exception a matter related to changes in health over time, with women underestimating better health than men. In this case overestimate the majority of the participants a better or equivalent health in the second measurement, compared to base measurement. Conclusion: The people of Roma origin who participate in a health course in a labor market project, estimate health improvement over time in any health factors, as measured by the health questionnaire SF- 36.

Full textAbstract:
Writers on group-work distinguish several kinds of small group, each having a different
structure and purpose, but all involving some kind of learning function associated with, or
mediated by the experience of group membership
The Bible provides evidence in both Old and new testaments of the awareness involved in
group belonging, and Christian churches, among them the Church of England, have
employed groups for pastoral and evangelising purposes. Within the UK, the Church of
England concentrates its congregational training on one kind of directive group-based format:
‘process evangelism’, which is examined here using examples taken from various dioceses, in
order to argue that by concentrating on one kind of group, the Church of England (and
perhaps other Church bodies) may be neglecting the possibility that other, more experiential
and less directive kinds of groups may more effectively educate church members in Christian
belonging.
In order to discover how different group-work structures affect learning, three group formats
are compared, one directive and two experiential. Questions are asked as to their suitability
for Christian learning, how they embody scriptural and ecclesiastical perspectives on
learning. The same group of people, drawn from different congregations underwent a course
of alternating group structures over a six month period. Each individual member was asked to
keep a written record of her or his personal impressions of and feelings about each session, so
that a comparison could be made of members’ experiences of the three groups.
Using the qualitative research model of Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis, an
investigation was carried out into the principal themes emerging from members’ self-reports
of their experiences of the three different group structures, revealing four value constructs –
belonging/alienation, safety/danger, enrichment/impoverishment, and validation/rejection –
which played a dominant role in all three kinds of group. No group format scored more
highly than the others on all four axes of value. Taken all together each of the three group structures gave a different degree of prominence to each of the four evaluative constructs, so that each of the three was shown to be particularly relevant for, and associated with, a particular area of experiential learning.Thesis (PhD (Pastoral Studies))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus in co-operation with Greenwich School of Theology, U.K., 2012

My essay begins with a story of one day in pre-school class. It is about how I, as a preschool teacher, find it challenging to work with inclusion of children in need of special support. It is also about the feeling of inadequacy experienced by a teacher, single handedly covering a proportionally large group of children. I discuss the hard work of building relationships in a school intended for everyone, when operating in the periphery of a cost-effective budget policy, where efforts of achieving inclusion is no longer allowed to come at a cost. The method used herein, is essay writing, and my objective is to deliver a qualitative, experienced-based essay that begins with a true story from my professional life. When working with the text, I am obliged to put an end to what is happening in particular, and problematic situations. This provides me with perspective, allows me to reflect around the situations, and I am given a chance to take a step back and discover and reflect on matters from a new angle, not previously considered or reflected upon. My main questions are: How is the preschool teacher expected to work with inclusion of children in need of extra support, in preschool class? In what way is the possibility to create relationships with all pupils in preschool class affected by the school budget, or lack thereof? What does it mean for a child to succeed in pre-school?Min essä inleds med en berättelse om en dag i förskoleklass. Den handlar om hur jag som förskollärare upplever det svårt att arbeta inkluderande med barn i behov av särskilt stöd, och om känslan av otillräcklighet som ensam lärare i en stor barngrupp. Jag skriver om det svåra i att bygga relationer i en skola ämnad för alla, i skuggan av en kostnadseffektiv skolbudget där inkludering inte längre får kosta. Metoden för mitt examensarbete är essäskrivande och jag skriver en erfarenhetsbaserad essä som inleds med en berättelse från min yrkeserfarenhet. När jag skriver i essäform får jag sätta ord på vad som händer i en eller flera situationer som jag upplever som problematiska. Jag får syn på ett dilemma jag vill reflektera kring och med skrivandet får jag en chans att ta ett steg tillbaka och se det jag inte hunnit se, och tänka tankar jag inte hunnit tänka. Mina huvudsakliga frågeställningar är:Hur förväntas förskolläraren arbeta med inkludering av barn i behov av särskilt stöd i förskoleklass? Hur påverkar skolans ekonomi chansen för mig som lärare att skapa relation till alla elever i förskoleklass? Vad innebär det för ett barn att lyckas i förskoleklass?

Roger Cousinet (1881-1973) et Célestin Freinet (1896-1966) figurent parmi les partisans de l'éducation nouvelle. Ils tentent de transformer l'école en lieu de vie, social et vivant. L'objectif de ce travail est de prendre en compte les différences des méthodes pédagogiques (travail de groupe et pédagogie Freinet) et de comparer les idées, les principes et les pratiques scolaires de ces deux pédagogues. La comparaison est focalisée sur la socialisation scolaire que R. Cousinet et C. Freinet qualifient à la fois comme une fin et un processus de l'éducation. La socialisation se caractérise par les trois aspects : l'acculturation, la personnalisation et l'individualisation. En fonction de ces trois processus s'interagissant l'un l'autre, nous montrons que la socialisation dans l'éducation nouvelle met en valeur la construction de la culture personnelle, la vie d'ensemble et la responsabilisation des élèves. L'analyse comparative se déroule en deux temps : observer les classes dans l'école publique (classe travail de groupe, classe Freinet) et saisir la spécificité de la pédagogie de R. Cousinet et de C. Freinet à travers la lecture de leurs écrits selon les critères des trois caractéristiques de la pédagogie (expression, intérêt, responsabilité)Roger Cousinet (1881-1973) and Célestin Freinet (1896-1966) are major advocates of new education philosophy, a progressive ideology in education. They assert that an institution should be changed into the place which develops student's socialities. The primary objective of this study is to consider several differences of the educational methods (group study of R. Cousinet and Freinet's teaching method) and to compare and constrast their ideas : the principles and school practices of these pedagogues. The comparison is focused on school socialization. R. Cousinet and C. Freinet regard it as a final objective or educational process. The socialization is characterized by following three aspects : acculturation, personalization and individualization. According to these three processes, socialization in new education (progressive education) consists of constructing personal culture and collective life, increasing the awareness of responsibilities. The comparative analysis of these two schools of thought takes place in the two stages : observation of public school classes (class group study, class Freinet) and understanding the specifications of Cousinet's and Freinet's methods. Accordingly, how to read and interpret their literary work depends primarily on the three characteristics of their teaching and learning methods. Three elements are based on expression, interest and responsibility

Taking into consideration outdoor experiential learning's popularity as an effective method for the improvement of personal and group related skills (locus of control (Hans, 2000), self-esteem (Romi & Kohan, 2004), organizational abilities (Russell et al., 2000), social abilities (Meyer, 2000; Hui & Cheung, 2004; Dent, 2006), trust, communication, decision making and group dynamics (Ewert & McAvoy, 2000), there exists much uncertainty how program components relate to outcomes (Russell & Phillips-Miller, 2002; Sibthorp; 2003; Gass & Priest, 2006). Sibthorp et al. (2007:1) and Paisley et al. (2008:201-202) state that too much attention is directed at what participants learn and not how learning takes place. Outdoor experiential learning is mainly centre-based and wilderness-based (Hinkle, 1999:190; Hans, 2000:35), and due to the interchangeable use of these two methods, this confusion has occurred (Gillis & Gass, 2004:601; Epstein, 2004:107-108). In order to develop more successful programs a need has arisen to determine exactly how program components relate to program outcomes (Hans, 2000:33; Russell, 2000:170; Russell & Phillips-Miller, 2002:415; Gass & Priest, 2006:79).
Taking this into consideration, Beringer and Martin (2003:30) state that change is usually only attributed to action and experience. In this regard Miner (2003:6), Cole (2005:23), Berger and McLeod (2006:82) and Hill (2007:339) believe that the symbolic meaning of wilderness and its therapeutic role is largely being overlooked or ignored compared to the ecological and experiential values thereof. Although many suggest that the physical environment is important for achieving program outcomes, future research could focus more on the difference of programs in wilderness, unfamiliar non-wilderness environments (such as rope courses) and familiar environments such as classrooms and workplaces (McKenzie, 2000:20).
For a clearer understanding on how program components relate to outcomes, Priest (1996) (also see Priest, 1998 and Williams, 2000) indicates by using a comparative study that if group initiatives are more successful than rope courses for the improvement of organizational effectiveness, it can give valuable insight of what specific method should be used for achieving specific outcomes (Priest, 1996:37). Taking this into consideration it is the purpose of this study to compare the effectiveness of a centre-based adventure program with an expedition-based wilderness program with regard to personal and group effectiveness, and to determine if the personal experience of restoration (Kaplan, 1995:172-173; Laumann et al., 2001:31-32), physical self (Berger & McLeod, 2006:91; Caulkins et al., 2006:21), prfmitiveness, humility, timelessness (Cole, 2005:26; Johnson et al., 2005:7), solitude, privacy, freedom of choice (Borrie & Roggenbuck, 2001:7), personal self (Russell & Farnum, 2004:39) and spiritual upliftment (Irvine & Warber, 2002:80; Berger & McLeod, 2006:91) are symbolically unique to wilderness participation.
This study made use of a crossover design with a mixed-method approach which De Vos (2005:360) refers to as a combination of quantitative and qualitative research in a single study. In a crossover design all the participants take part in both interventions (Simon, 2002:1), which is, in this case, the centre-based adventure programme and expedition-based wilderness programme. There were 28 third year students (14 men and 14 women), aged 20-23 (x= 21.6 ± 0.7) from the North-West University (Potchefstroom Campus) who took part in this study. The participants were identified using an availability sample and were randomly divided into two experimental groups (7 men and 7 women).
The research instrument used to measure personal effectiveness was the Review of Personal Effectiveness and Locus of Control (ROPELOC) developed and piloted by Richards et al. (2002). This questionnaire measures personal effectiveness through seven major components. This questionnaire was administered in the form of a quantitative pre-and post-test to both groups. For the measurement of group effectiveness an improved version of the one,found in Herselman (1998) was used. This questionnaire measures group effectiveness through several factors, such as communication, team spirit, decision making and planning, which are considered important for effective group functioning. In combination with this questionnaire an improved version of the Recreation Experience Preference Scales (Manfredo et al., 1996) was used. This research instrument is developed to determine why people engage in recreation, what people want from it and how people might benefit from it. Both of these questionnaires (group effectiveness and Recreation Experience Preference Scales) were administered in the form of a quantitative post-test to both groups. In combination with the quantitative procedure, one-on-one and focus group interviews were conducted with each participant after every test.
With regard to personal effectiveness results indicated that most of the ROPELOC components changed significantly. Between the two programs differences with medium effect (d=0.5) were found in self-confidence (d=0.53), stress management (d=0.42), quality seeking (d=0.62) and coping with change (d=0.49), all in favour of the expedition-based wilderness program. Even though both programs are very effective for the improvement of personal effectiveness, it is strongly recommended that an expedition-based wilderness program should be used. This is mainly attributed to the effect of the wilderness environment. The experience of solitude, privacy and freedom of choice, spiritual upliftment and restoration proved to be the most powerful. In terms of group effectiveness results indicated medium (d=0.5) to significant (d>0.8) differences mostly in favour of the centre-based adventure program in communication abilities (d=0.52), competition within the group (d=0.83) and productiveness (d=0.68). Although both programmes are rated very effective for the improvement of group effectiveness, it is strongly recommended that a centre-based adventure program should be used. This is mainly attributed to active involvement, intense social interaction and continuous group discussions. Furthermore, a significant sequence effect in favour of first attending the centre-based adventure program and thereafter the expedition-based wilderness program was documented, which lead to the conclusion that the two programmes should be used in combination.
For a meaningful adventure experience results showed that the personal experience of restoration, physical self, primitiveness, humility, timelessness, solitude, privacy, freedom of choice, personal self and spiritual upliftment made the most important contribution during the expedition-based wilderness program and that this program is most effective in creating this. However, it is possible to experience these components during a centre-based adventure program, but to a lesser extent and with different meaning.Thesis (Ph.D. (Recreation Science))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2009.

Full textAbstract:
Det övergripande syftet i denna uppsats är att studera finska romers identitetsskapande. De frågeställningar som studien avser att besvara utgörs av hur finska romer anser att de blir bemötta utifrån de stereotypa föreställningar som finns och om stigmatiseringen påverkar deras identitetskapande. Studien tillämpar ett kvalitativt angreppssätt baserat på fyra intervjuer. Studiens teoretiska ram består av Erving Goffmans teori om stigma och Randall Collins teori om sociala ritualer. Arbetet visar att det finns ett diskriminerande bemötande som bygger på fördomar av gruppen finska romer och för att hantera dessa är deras grupptillhörighet viktig. I den skapas emotionella energier genom gemensamma traditioner som bidrar till att känna samhörighet och trygghet. Gruppen är avgörande för identiteten och i ett majoritetssamhälle som präglas av stereotypa föreställningar om finska romer är gruppen ännu viktigare för att identiteten ska kunna upprätthållas och utvecklas.The aim of the thesis is to study how the identities of Finnish romani are affected by prejudgments within the society. The main questions addressed are how individuals feel they are being treated in relation to the existing stereotypical images of Finnish romani and whether the social stigma affects their identities. The qualitative study is based on interviews with four Finnish romani. The theoretical framework of the study includes Erving Goffman’s theory on stigma and Randall Collin’s theory regarding social rituals. The study shows that Finnish romani are treated in a discriminating manner due to the existing prejudgement of the group. To handle this discrimination the individuals set a high value in being part of the ethnic group. Common traditions within the group bring emotional satisfaction and feelings of shelter and connectedness to the individuals. In general, being part of a group (ethnic or not) affects the identity of the person. For Finnish romani that holds particularly true, however, due to the prevailing prejudgement of the group within the society. As such, for a Finish romani, the group is of profound importance for the maintenance and the development of the identity.

Full textAbstract:
This item is only available electronically.The Beetaloo Basin is a sub-basin of the ‘greater McArthur Basin’, a >180,000 km2 ca. 1800-900 Ma basin system that covers much of northern Australia and, in its Mesoproterozoic section, hosts extensive hydrocarbon reserves. The nature of the basin and provenance of the rocks within the basin are largely unknown. Here I present detrital zircon U-Pb data from twelve sandstone core samples from the Maiwok Sub-group, and compare them with existing outcrop samples from the Urapunga Region within the McArthur Basin to examine the maximum depositional ages of the formations, to address intra-basin correlation, and examine both temporal and spatial provenance variations. Detritus analysed yielded early Palaeoarchean to early Neoproterozoic ages from sandstone formations of the Maiwok Sub-group, in the Beetaloo Basin (Fig. 1). In the Beetaloo Basin; the Bessie Creek Sandstone formation was deposited between 1386 ± 13 Ma and 1324 ± 8 Ma, and the Moroak Sandstone formation was deposited after1375 ± 15 Ma. The formation logged as the Moroak Sandstone (320.0-391.72m) in Altree 2 drillcore was logged incorrectly. Detrital zircon data has shown this sandstone is too young to be the Moroak Sandstone. I have reinterpreted this interval in Altree 2 as Bukalorkmi Sandstone from 359.5-391.72m and Jamison Sandstone from 320.0-359.5m (Fig. 7). In Altree 2, the Bukalorkmi Sandstone was deposited after 1194 ± 25 Ma and the Jamison Sandstone was deposited between 959 ± 18 Ma and 513 ± 12 Ma. Temporal provenance variations are minimal between the Bessie Creek Sandstone and the Moroak Sandstone, but much greater between the Moroak Sandstone and the Jamison/Bukalorkmi Sandstone formations. The Walton High defines a spatial provenance boundary from the north and the south (Fig. 12). This boundary affects Maiwok Sub-group sandstones, including exposed formations, and has been under appreciated in previous studies.

AbstractThis paper discusses how a microcontroller, like Arduino, can improve laboratory practice in Italian upper secondary school and change students’ attitudes towards STEM subjects. Since 2015, we started a close and fruitful collaboration with several high school teachers in the Marche region to introduce microcontroller programming to the physics lab. Notably, the project also involved teachers of other subjects, such as computer science, and with different backgrounds, for example electronic engineering, thus showing the inherently interdisciplinary character and versatility of Arduino. Students were engaged in hands-on activities, working in small groups of four to five people, supervised by learning assistants and teachers. Arduino was used to interface with sensors, to control the experimental setup, and for data acquisition. Finally, we could also make contact with robotics, by building a simple prototype of a rover.

Read some chilling statistics, reported in an accurate Roper Organization survey a short time ago. Pollsters telephoned a nationally representative cross section of 1,000 families with kids from three to fourteen years old. Over ninety percent of moms and dads said reading was essential to their boy or girl's success. But of those with a child who could read, only 66 percent were happy with how their youngster was reading. According to age group, these are the numbers regarding parents who thought their child was interested in reading: . . .SCHOOL LEVEL PERCENTAGE Preschool 56% Kindergarten-second grade 59% Third grade-fifth grade 53% Beyond fifth grade 39%. . . At best, therefore, according to parents, six out of ten youngsters in any of the four groups found books stimulating. Of all the families surveyed only forty-four percent said their children read for pleasure each day. The implications are astounding. Personal happiness, future education, good jobs, enlightened citizenry, the society's continued advance: these all are at stake. Looking beyond the elementary and junior high school years, a Carnegie Foundation survey of 5500 college professors revealed that 75% think undergraduates at their institutions are seriously underprepared in basic skills; 66% think their colleges are paying too much money and spending too much time teaching what students should have learned prior to college admission. The failure of our schools to develop essential skills, the pervasive indifference to books among our children, the minimal achievement level at which so many youngsters hover throughout their educational lives—these are grim barriers to knowledge, happiness, and success. We read about this new study, that commission's report, those irrefutable data. We worry for awhile and then shrug with resignation. I'm not hopeful that the depressing statistics we hear about so regularly will improve any time soon, no matter what changes we make in our country's formal educational system. But in the informal realm;—the home, the supermarket, the playground, the various child-parent intersections—fertile, untilled soil stretches out around us.

<p>DMT’s Rope Testing Centre – a laboratory for non-destructive and destructive testing and part of TÜV NORD GROUP - has long-time experience in the inspection of steel wire ropes and cables in varying applications. DMT provides different non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, which allow a more detailed evaluation of the inner condition of the cables compared to only visual inspection. Ultrasonic testing (UT) at cable end connections is a very effective NDT method which is executed regularly by DMT experts. Another NDT method suitable to inspect the free length of stay or hanger cables is magnetic rope testing (MRT). Starting in 1931 with MRT on steel wire ropes, DMT has since then continuously developed and optimized this testing method and gained extensive operating skills.</p>

Full textAbstract:
The Perdido platform is a spar located in a water depth of 7,825 feet in the Alaminos Canyon Block 857in the Gulf of Mexico. The mooring system consists of nine mooring lines in three groups of three, spacedapproximately 120 degrees apart between each group. Each mooring line is composed of a platform chain,a multi-segment polyester rope including a 120 feet long test insert at the top, a ground chain, a pile chainand other associated connectors. The mooring lines are connected to suction piles. The Minimum BreakStrength for the Perdido polyester mooring line is 4,000 kips. Installation of the spar hull was completed inSeptember 2008 and the topsides was set in March 2009. The spar and its mooring system were originallydesigned for a twenty (20) year life. On May 4, 2019, mooring line # 6 (ML6) was contacted by a marine vessel down line and was severed.Contact occurred along the polyester test insert. A recovery effort was planned, and the mooring line wasreplaced in early June. The original ML6 was recovered from the seafloor on June 4, 2019 as a part of thatcampaign and submitted to an initial inspection. This paper is not intended to go into either the cause of the incident or the replacement of ML6 but willlook to the inspection of the recovered mooring line and explore its suitability for reuse. Initial inspection ofthe lines suggested minimal damage to the polyester rope segments and raised questions to the impacts of 10years of use. Testing was envisioned as a learning opportunity for the impact of service on polyester mooringand was reinforced by the potential cost savings that could be attained though reuse. A methodology wasdeveloped, supported by initial inspections and a suite of testing was performed. The results of these testsare presented in the following, along with a proposed process for assessing and considering reuse of a linefollowing a drop. Additionally, conclusions will be shared for the process, the results, and the potentialramifications for the industry.

Full textAbstract:
A passive vibration control strategy to mitigate the accelerations of roller batteries in cableways caused by the vehicle transit is investigated. The vibration control strategy makes use of a group of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) placed in different positions along the roller battery. When the frequencies of the TMDs are properly tuned to the modes to control, the energy provided by the dynamic forcing to the roller battery is transferred as kinetic energy to the TMDs. This work investigates the effectiveness of an array of linear TMDs in comparison with the performance of hysteretic TMDs that exploit the restoring forces provided by an assembly of wire ropes. First a dynamical characterization of the roller battery (modal analysis) is carried out. Then an optimization of the assembly of linear TMDs against skew-symmetric harmonic excitations is achieved by means of the Differential Evolution algorithm (DE). Subsequently, the performance of the linear TMDs assembly against the vehicle transit across the tower is assessed. Finally the performance of a network of hysteretic TMDs is studied together with practical feasibility considerations.

Abstract This paper briefly reviews the literature inherent of the design of airfoil and rotorcrafts for atmospheric flight on Mars. The interest toward the red planet exploration has considerably increased as result of the successful deployment of the Perseverance Rover and the continuous tests developed by SpaceX’s launch vehicle, Starship. While the Mars 2020 Mission is currently in progress, the first controlled flight on another planet have been proven in April 2021 with the Vertical Take-off and Landing of the Ingenuity rotorcraft in Mars. In addition, the rotorcraft Dragonfly is expected to achieve the same endeavor in Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, by 2036. Continuous efforts have been oriented to the development of new technologies and aircraft configurations to improve the current designs and performance. In this paper we summarize the different Mars drone design and configuration approaches carried out by several research groups in the last two decades. We also briefly layout the main challenges related to the lift generation problem for a Mas rotorcraft.

In INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONGRESS “APPLIED SPORTS SCIENCES”. Scientific Publishing House NSA Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.37393/icass2022/20.
Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT The rowing technique is one of the main factors determining good sports results. Many different factors are combined in rowing, but only if the effective technique is understood and its key factors are mastered the rowers would be able to realize the full benefit from training. The primary purpose of the current research was to determine the effect on some technical indicators after the BioRow Tech system for ergometers was used in training university students – novice rowers. Methods of the experiment include measuring three variables: the positions of the handle, seat and trunk (at the level of the shoulder joint). The velocities of the legs, trunk, and arms were derived from measured points and used for analyses. BioRow Tech system produces three indicators displayed instantly for the rower to see: Catch Factor, Rowing Style Factor, and Finish Factor. Rowers receive real-time feedback after each stroke. The received results demonstrate an increase in all the above indicators within the groups of investigated students. It was determined that when rowing with different intensities, the Catch factor increased with an average of d%=75.17, P(t) = 86.6; the Rowing Style Factor with d%=23.25, P(t) = 95.7, and the Finish Factor with d%=33.86, P(t) = 68.3. The analysis of the results reveals a positive effect on improving the rowing stroke technical indicators. Using the BioRow Tech system on an ergometer could cut down the time novice rowers typically need to improve their rowing technique.

As countries around the world are racing towards realizing the common dream of humans creating long-term habitats in space, emerging space countries like Jordan, with no established space agency, are struggling to participate in the development of research and projects in the field. Additionally, due to the deteriorating economical situation in Jordan, students now seek professions with higher market demands and payment rates to ensure a safe career path. This led Jordanian students to overlook emerging fields of study like space. From here arises the need to conduct proper outreach to spread awareness on space research and its benefits, and to incorporate space studies in the Jordanian educational system in order to build a strong base of human resources in the field. Since Jordan is lacking in both educational and theoretical, as well as professional and practical sides, students mostly turn to completing their studies and gaining professional experience in the space field abroad. Therefore, before establishing Jordanian-targeted education programs and initiatives for space studies, there is the need for the establishment of local space institutes, projects, and programs which ensure that students will have access to training programs and practical experience as well as securing future job opportunities, thereby making space careers a viable option. In 2020, under the Moon Village Association's Participation of Emerging Space Countries program, a roadmap for Jordan’s contribution to lunar exploration and the Jordan Space Research Initiative (JSRI) were created. This 20-year roadmap focuses on establishing an analog R&D facility in Jordan’s Wadi Rum desert, aiming to support the emerging space field in Jordan, while contributing to its national priorities and sustainable development goals. Beginning with the outreach element to foster space education, JSRI launched two space design competitions in 2021 to engage students and professionals interested in the field. These competitions allowed the participants to learn about spacesuit and rover design, as well as develop their own prototypes in a hands-on educational exercise. By providing funding and expert support, JSRI ensured that a diverse group of Jordanians was able to participate, regardless of their backgrounds. This approach proved to be successful in enabling the participation of various segments of the Jordanian society, and has shown that people with a passion for space can thrive through educational initiatives such as these competitions. Building on this success, future partnerships and educational initiatives are being established, aiding in the formation of a space network in Jordan

The last decade has demonstrated an increased public and private interest towards crewed missions through the emergence of New Space and the Artemis program. There is therefore a need to form the next generation of scientists to prepare future crewed space exploration missions. In this context, it is important to familiarize teenagers with the scientific issues of today’s world and to inspire them to engage in the space sector. Crew 263 is a group of seven students preparing a Martian analogue mission at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in the desert of Utah (United States). A Martian analogue mission at the MDRS, because is the perfect set-up to introduce young students to human space exploration. In the context of their mission, Crew 263 has organized a program of space educational activities for middle and high school students surrounding the topics of altered gravity, astronomy, health and safety procedures and robotic systems. Precisely, a set of four experiments that will be performed by the students was conceived to bring into light the various scientific topics surrounding space exploration missions.
The experiment “Plants in Microgravity” aims to illustrate the influence of gravity on plant growth by planting seeds in pots mounted on a rotating platform in a vertical plane, which will disturb their gravitational cues. “Beginner Astronomer” aims to introduce students to astronomy and astrophotography by establishing with the students a list of galaxies/nebulas to be observed during the Mission. Then, for “Emergency situation at the MDRS” students will put into practice the scientific approach by creating protocols to mitigate risk situations during space exploration missions. Finally, for the “Perseverance’s little brother” experiment, students will develop a small rover to analyze the atmosphere condition around the MDRS station.
To maximize their involvement, prior to the mission at the MDRS, the middle and high school students prepare the experiments with the support of the crew. Then, the prepared experiment will be performed in parallel with the crew while they are simulating Martian life. To allow students to be immersed in the mission when the crew will be at the MDRS, short podcasts will be recorded describing the crew’s daily life and the evolution of the different experiments. This podcast will be sent to the classes during the simulation, thus allowing the students to have an insight on the daily life of the analogue astronauts at the station.
