This study examined the effectiveness of active shooter preparedness training on students for the purpose of assessing whether or not undergoing such training helps ease students’ level of anxiety, sense of preparedness in the event of a mass shooting attack at their California State University campus, or an attack occurring at their place of internship. This data was collected by offering an active shooter training to student participants, facilitated by the Risk Management department, at a large University in Southern California. Following the training, first-year Bachelors and Masters students within the School of Social Work were given a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire pertained to student perceptions of anxiety connected to fear of a shooting on campus and/or at their internship placement as well as students' perceptions of the effectiveness of the active shooter preparedness training. The research found that participants, on average, are moderately anxious about the possibility of an active shooter situation at school and their internships. Participants also indicated finding Risk Management’s active shooter preparedness training to be important and useful. Therefore, this study recommends that the California State University provide an active shooter preparedness training to all incoming first-year BASW and MSW students during school orientation.

ABSTRACT This research study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of an Active Shooter Incident (ASI) training implemented at Southern California University (SCU). The purpose of this study was to assess students’ level of preparedness, anxiety, and knowledge about ASIs. Prior to collecting the data, an officer from the University Police Department (UPD) provided an ASI training for students where they were able to learn about safety procedures. Data was collected from a sample of Bachelor and Master level students within the SCU School of Social Work Department. Participants were given a questionnaire that consisted of questions regarding students’ level of anxiety toward the idea of an ASI occurring at their campus and internship placements. The questions also evaluated students’ knowledge and preparedness resulting from the ASI training. Data collection further determined whether certain aspects of the population such as ethnicity and gender contributed to their levels of anxiety.

This research thematizes the Active School Program and was guided by the following question: What are the implications of the Active School Program in the organization and operation of the rural schools and its repercussion in the continuous training of teachers in the municipality of Feira de Santana? In dialogue with this question, the general objective was to analyze the implications of the Program in the organization and functioning of the rural schools and its repercussion in the training of teachers in the municipality. Two central categories were constituted as references of analyzes: education of the field and formation of teachers, especially the continuous formation. Field Education was assumed as a resistance movement to the relations of domination that emanate from the ruralist vision and, therefore, it emphasizes a conception of education that apprehends the relation between the social space and the directives that aim at the emancipation of the working class. From the conception of teacher training, we agree with N?voa (1992) when he states that the territory of formation is inhabited by individual and collective actors, in a human and social construction, in which the different stakeholders have autonomy in the conduct of their own projects. In this sense, we sought to explore their continuing education dimension, based on the idea of Rodrigues and Esteves (1993) when they point out that training is not exhausted in initial training and must be pursued throughout the career in a coherent and integrated way , responding to the felt training needs. The methodology adopted was of a qualitative nature, assumed by the understanding that this type of approach allows the analysis of the object investigated in its complexity and multiplicity of forms of manifestation, including the exploration of the interfaces between the objective and subjective dimensions that give them conformity in the tension between the prescribed and the effected in contexts and relations of dispute. The instruments selected to assist in data collection were documental research and semi-structured interviews. Through the data collected and the analysis developed, it was concluded that the obstacles to the implementation of a Public Education Policy in the Field are great, considering that the movements that make up this construction are sometimes discontinuous movements, marked by tensions and disputes between political forces. Regarding the Field Education policy in the municipality of Feira de Santana, there are no effective actions for its implementation. Regarding teacher training, it was observed that there was no training policy for teachers in the field in Feira de Santana, and that the actions carried out did not characterize the design of an own understanding of training by the network. The implementation of the Escola Activa Program in the municipality was inserted as part of the attempt of differentiated attention to the field, focusing on the multisite classes, but subordinated to the external orientations of the sectors that constituted themselves as managers of the Program. However, this in itself did not characterize the existence of a Field Education policy in the municipality
Esta pesquisa tematiza o Programa Escola Ativa e foi orientada pela seguinte quest?o: Quais as implica??es do Programa Escola Ativa na organiza??o e funcionamento das escolas do campo e sua repercuss?o na forma??o continuada de professores no munic?pio de Feira de Santana? Em di?logo com esta quest?o, o objetivo geral foi analisar as implica??es do Programa na organiza??o e funcionamento das escolas do campo e sua repercuss?o na forma??o de professores no munic?pio. Constitu?ram-se como refer?ncias de an?lises duas categorias centrais: educa??o do campo e forma??o de professores, notadamente a forma??o continuada.A Educa??o do Campo foi assumida como um movimento de resist?ncia ?s rela??es de domina??o que emanam da vis?o ruralista e, portanto, p?e em relevo uma concep??o de educa??o que apreenda a rela??o entre o espa?o social e os direcionamentos que visam a emancipa??o da classe trabalhadora.Da concep??o de forma??o de professores coadunamos da mesma ideia de N?voa (1992) quando afirma que o territ?rio da forma??o ? habitado por atores individuais e coletivos, numa constru??o humana e social, na qual os diferentes envolvidos possuem autonomia na condu??o dos seus projetos pr?prios. Neste sentido, procurou-se explorar a sua dimens?o de forma??o continuada,a partir da ideia de, Rodrigues e Esteves (1993) quando apontam que a forma??o n?o se esgota na forma??o inicial, devendo prosseguir ao longo da carreira, de forma coerente e integrada, respondendo ?s necessidades de forma??o sentidas. A metodologia adotada foi de natureza qualitativa, assumida em raz?o do entendimento de que este tipo de abordagem possibilita a an?lise do objeto investigado na sua complexidade e multiplicidade de formas de manifesta??o, incluindo a explora??o das interfaces entre as dimens?es objetivas e subjetivas que lhes d?o conformidade na tens?o entre o prescrito e o efetivado em contextos e rela??es de disputa.Os instrumentos selecionados para auxiliar na coleta dos dados foram a pesquisa documental e a entrevista semiestrurada. Por meio dos dados coletados e das an?lises desenvolvidas concluiu-se que grandes s?o os entraves para efetiva??o de uma pol?tica p?blica de Educa??o do Campo, considerando que os movimentos que comp?e essa constru??o s?o, por vezes, movimentos descont?nuos, marcados por tens?es e disputas entre for?as pol?ticas. No que concerne ? pol?tica de Educa??o do Campo no munic?pio de Feira de Santana, n?o existem a??es efetivas para sua implementa??o. Quanto a forma??o de professores, observou-se a inexist?ncia de uma pol?tica de forma??o de professores do campo em Feira de Santana e que as a??es realizadas n?o caracterizaram o delineamento de uma compreens?o pr?pria de forma??o pela rede. A implementa??o do Programa Escola Ativano munic?pio se inseriu como parte da tentativa de aten??o diferenciada para o campo, com foco nas classes multisseriadas, mas subordinadas ?s orienta??es externas dos setores que se constitu?ram como gestores do Programa.Todavia, isto por si s? n?o caracterizoua exist?ncia de uma pol?tica de Educa??o do Campo no munic?pio

Enhancing the physicochemical properties of solid-state materials through crystal engineering enables optimization of these materials without covalent modification. Cocrystals have become a reliable means to generate novel crystalline forms with multiple components and they exhibit different physicochemical properties compared to the individual components. This dissertation exemplifies methodologies to generate cocrystals of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API's) based upon knowledge of supramolecular interactions (supramolecular synthons), while focusing on enhanced delivery through in vitro and in vivo processes with both salts and cocrystals respectively. The utility of mechanochemistry involving small amounts of an appropriate solvent, or solvent drop grinding (SDG), has been shown to reliably reproduce cocrystals with the anti-convulsant carbamazepine that were originally obtained by solution crystallization. This technique has been confirmed as a reliable screening method using solvents in which both components exhibit some solubility. The benefits of this technique lie in the time and cost efficiency associated with it as well as its inherently small environmental impact making it a "Green" method. SDG was also used as an efficient way to discover cocrystals of the anti-inflammatory meloxicam with carboxylic acids after analysis of existing reports and the analysis of structural data from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) to guide the choice of coformer. It has been shown that SDG can be used to screen for cocrystalline forms that are also obtainable by solution crystallization which is important in later stage development and manufacturing including but not limited to large scale up processes. Single crystals suitable for single crystal X-ray diffraction were obtained with meloxicam and two of the coformers, fumaric and succinic acid. Some of the meloxicam cocrystals exhibited enhanced pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles in rats exemplifying significantly higher serum concentrations after only fifteen minutes and consistently higher exposure over the time studied while others maintained lower exposure. This reveals that cocrystals can fine tune the PK profile of meloxicam in order to reduce or enhance exposure. Two different sulfonate salts, 4-hydroxybenzenesulfonate (p-phenolsulfonate) and 4-chlorobenzenesulfonate, of the anti-spastic agent (R,S) baclofen were developed by strategically interrupting the intramolecularly stabilized zwitterionic structure of baclofen. This zwitterionic structure results in low solubility associated with physiological pH required for intrathecal administration. Structural data for both salts in the form of single crystal X-ray diffraction data was successfully obtained. Solubility based on baclofen was assessed and shown to increase in pure water and at pH's 1 and 7. Only the 4-chlorobenzenesulonate salt maintained an increased solubility over two days at pH 7 making it a viable candidate for further study in terms of intrathecal administration. During crystallization experiments with (R,S) baclofen two polymorphic forms of the baclofen lactam were generated, Forms II and III. Both forms are conformational polymorphs confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction and Form II has a Z' of 4 with an unusual arrangement of enantiomers.

Active engagement is important in enhancing the quality of life of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities being served in residential programs. In addition, focusing on socially significant goals and communication is essential to ensure quality treatment. The following study examined the use of employee training in combination with positive reinforcement and in vivo coaching and modeling in a Behavioral Skills Training model to increase the efficacy and consistency of active engagement from direct care employees aimed toward clients with intellectual and developmental disabilities in a residential setting. The results of the current study demonstrated that direct care workers can be trained to increase active engagement with residents with developmental disabilities. Further, the study demonstrated that the instructional training method alone reflected a small increase in skill acquisition. However, more socially significant changes resulted from the establishment of the in vivo modeling component of Behavior Skills Training in relation to the skill development of direct care employees.

Multi-component crystallisation is investigated as a route to controlling crystalline forms of selected materials that possess pharmaceutical properties. This includes investigating the use of co-crystallisation methodology to selectively crystallise metastable polymorphs and solvated forms of these materials. This differs from the conventional use of co-crystallisation, as the aim of this aspect of the investigation is not to obtain a molecular complex of the two components, but instead for them to crystallise independently, while one component perturbs the solution environment to direct the crystallisation of the second component towards a different, often metastable, polymorph (or solvate). This co-crystallisation methodology is used as a route to crystallising new or elusive polymorphs (or solvates) of the active pharmaceutical ingredients paracetamol, piroxicam, gallic acid monohydrate and piracetam. It is also demonstrated that the use of this method can lead to crystal forms with otherwise unobtainable structural features. Co-crystallisation is also investigated as a route to controlling the ionisation state of piroxicam in the formation of molecular complexes. Molecular complexes were formed with a number of mono-substituted benzoic acids as well as with nitrogen-heterocycles and strong acids. In the molecular complexes formed, piroxicam was found to adopt the non-ionised, zwitterionic, anionic or cationic form, depending on the co-former used. Attempts are made to rationalise the occurrence of each ionisation state by consideration of the relative pKa values of piroxicam and the co-formers. The hydrogen bonded supramolecular synthons in these molecular complexes are also investigated. Co-crystallisation is also used as a route to obtaining molecular complexes of paracetamol and its derivative, 4-acetamidobenzoic acid, with nitrogen-heterocycles as co-formers. Molecular complexes of the two, with similar co-formers, are compared in terms of their hydrogen bonded supramolecular synthons. Despite having otherwise similar structural features, the phenolic hydroxyl group in paracetamol and carboxylic acid group in 4-acetamidobenzoic acid result in the formation of very different synthons and in some cases different component ratios. The susceptibility of 4-acetamidobenzoic acid to deprotonation is found to play a major role in the differences observed. Molecular complexes of paracetamol with co-formers containing multiple carboxylic acid groups are also investigated, with a view towards further crystal engineering approaches for molecular complexes of paracetamol. Piracetam complexes with carboxylic acids are investigated in a similar manner. The potential for transfer of a range of these multi-component crystallisations into a non-evaporative environment, with a view to implementing continuous crystallisation approaches, is also investigated. This transfer is found to be challenging for the systems investigated.

The practice of training evaluation has not kept pace with prescription, and evaluations being being done are frequently negligent of appropriate controls needed to draw valid conclusions. A comparison was made of training outcomes contrasting results obtained using carefully controlled scientific approaches with those from a more popular less scientific approach. The research design involved the collection and analysis of data from a single organizations managerial training program. , Three different methods of training evaluation were studied: an "immediate reaction" rating sheet, a self-report participant survey, and a similar survey completed by t he participants' subordinates. Bo th surv ey r e sul t s showed no signif icant c hang es in on-the-job behavior six weeks after training. In contrast the "immediate reaction" ratings were positive, implying the training program was a "success." Conclusions w ere drawn concerning the validity of methods compared.

Radical reform of the arrangements for pre-registration nurse education and the recommendation that nurse teaching become a graduate profession prompted a reappraisal of the arrangements for nurse teacher preparation. This thesis reports an evaluation of a new form of preparation for nurse teaching. The new courses were intended to combine advanced study of nursing with educational theory and practice, and led to an honours degree and a teaching qualification recordable on the professional register. The study used the fourth generation evaluation model as a theoretical framework. During the early stages of the work, a secondary research purpose emerged - to evaluate the fourth generation model. This model has a qualitative focus, and emphasises the participation of all stakeholders with an interest in the outcomes of the evaluation. Participants in the enquiry were student nurses, nurse teachers, and to a lesser extent, teacher course leaders. The multi-method research design included document analysis; group interviews; postal questionnaires; non-participant observation; individual interviews. Rich qualitative data obtained from a small number of participants illuminated the quantitative data gathered from a national postal survey of all the nurse teachers (n=109) who graduated in 1992 from the seven courses studied. A joint construction of an effective nurse teacher was developed from the data. It was concluded that the nurse teachers were broadly satisfied with the quality of the preparation courses. However, of the nine role elements included in the preparation courses, in only three elements did more than half the nurse teachers feel equipped for their new roles. In six role elements more than half the nurse teachers did not feel equipped. Credibility of the enquiry findings, the conclusions and recommendations were enhanced by a quality audit of the enquiry process and a critical review of the theoretical model. The fourth generation evaluation model was shown to be effective in revealing deficits in nurse teacher preparation which had become apparent when the respondents embarked on their new roles. Recommendations based on the findings encompassed both action and further research and were directed towards i) improving current courses for nurse teacher preparation ii) re-examining a crucial role element - the clinical role iii) re-examining the focus, location and organisation of nurse teacher preparation.iv) further creative application of the fourth generation model.

This thesis concerns the problem of object detection, which is defined as finding all instances of an object class of interest and fitting each of them with a tight bounding window. This seemingly easy task for humans is still extremely difficult for machines. However, recent advances in object detection have enabled machines to categorize many classes of objects. Statistical models are often used for representing an object class of interest. These models learn from extensive training sets and generalize with low error rates to unseen data in a highly generic manner. But, these statistical methods have a major drawback in that they require a large amount of training data. We approach this problem by making the process of acquiring labels less tedious and less costly by reducing human labelling effort. Throughout this thesis, we explore means of efficient label acquisition for realizing cheaper training, faster development time, and higher-performance of object detectors. We use active learning with our novel interface to combine machine intelligence with human interventions, and effectively improve a state-of-the-art classifier by using additional unlabelled images from the Web. As the approach relies on a small amount of label input from a human oracle, there is still room to further reduce the amount of human effort. An ideal solution is, if possible, to have no humans involved in labelling novel data. Given a sparsely labelled video that contains very few labels, our novel self-learning approach achieves automatic acquisition of additional labels from the unlabelled portion of the video. Our approach combines colour segmentation, object detection and tracking in order to discover potential labels from novel data. We empirically show that our self-learning approach improves the performance of models that detect players in broadcast footage of sports games.

Eighty-nine single, sexually active, heterosexual college students (ages 17-24) participated in one of two intervention conditions. Experimental groups were taught skills specific to condom use and sexual communication via a multimedia presentation. Control groups viewed a video on an unrelated topic. Individuals in the experimental conditions were expected to show higher levels of self-efficacy, greater knowledge concerning diseases, and improved attitudes about condoms immediately following the intervention. They were also expected to report safer sexual practices at the one month follow-up. Findings reveal that improved attitude and knowledge scores did not translate into behavioral changes.

This Ph.D. candidate thesis collects the research work I conducted under the supervision of Prof.Bruno Samor´ı in 2005,2006 and 2007. Some parts of this work included in the Part III have been begun by myself during my undergraduate thesis in the same laboratory and then completed during the initial part of my Ph.D. thesis: the whole results have been included for the sake of understanding and completeness. During my graduate studies I worked on two very different protein systems. The theorical trait d’union between these studies, at the biological level, is the acknowledgement that protein biophysical and structural studies must, in many cases, take into account the dynamical states of protein conformational equilibria and of local physico-chemical conditions where the system studied actually performs its function. This is introducted in the introductory part in Chapter 2. Two different examples of this are presented: the structural significance deriving from the action of mechanical forces in vivo (Chapter 3) and the complexity of conformational equilibria in intrinsically unstructured proteins and amyloid formation (Chapter 4). My experimental work investigated both these examples by using in both cases the single molecule force spectroscopy technique (described in Chapter 5 and Chapter 6). The work conducted on angiostatin focused on the characterization of the relationships between the mechanochemical properties and the mechanism of action of the angiostatin protein, and most importantly their intertwining with the further layer of complexity due to disulfide redox equilibria (Part III). These studies were accompanied concurrently by the elaboration of a theorical model for a novel signalling pathway that may be relevant in the extracellular space, detailed in Chapter 7.2. The work conducted on -synuclein (Part IV) instead brought a whole new twist to the single molecule force spectroscopy methodology, applying it as a structural technique to elucidate the conformational equilibria present in intrinsically unstructured proteins. These equilibria are of utmost interest from a biophysical point of view, but most importantly because of their direct relationship with amyloid aggregation and, consequently, the aetiology of relevant pathologies like Parkinson’s disease. The work characterized, for the first time, conformational equilibria in an intrinsically unstructured protein at the single molecule level and, again for the first time, identified a monomeric folded conformation that is correlated with conditions leading to -synuclein and, ultimately, Parkinson’s disease. Also, during the research work, I found myself in the need of a generalpurpose data analysis application for single molecule force spectroscopy data analysis that could solve some common logistic and data analysis problems that are common in this technique. I developed an application that addresses some of these problems, herein presented (Part V), and that aims to be publicly released soon.

La phosphorylation/déphosphorylation des protéines est un mécanisme de signalisation intracellulaire commun. Parmi les kinases végétales, les Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) sont impliquées dans de nombreux processus biologiques importants, comme la réponse aux stress biotiques et abiotiques, le développement et la dynamique du cytosquelette. Chez Arabidopsis thaliana et ce malgré de nombreux efforts, les fonctions des kinases impliquées dans les cascades MAPK restent peu inconnues. L'activation des kinases en utilisant des mutations mimant la phosphorylation des sites normalement phosphorylés est une approchequi a fait ses preuves dans le cas de MAP2Ks et a largement contribué à élucider leurs fonctions. Cette stratégie s’est révélée impossible dans le cas des MAPKs, puisque les résidus à muter restent encore à identifier. Pour contourner ce problème, nous avons adapté un crible basé sur la complémentation fonctionnelle d’un mutant MAPK de levure avec des formes aléatoirement mutées de MPK6d’Arabidopsis dans le but d'identifier des mutants présentant une activité constitutive. Nous en avons identifiés plusieurs et avons montré que ces formes constitutivement actives (CA) de MPK6 sont actives sans phosphorylation par les MAP2Ks. Par ailleurs, les mutations des résidus équivalents dans d'autres MAPKs les rendent également hyperactives, ce qui indique que cette stratégie peut être utilisée comme approche générale pour activer les MAPKs afin d’en comprendre les fonctions. L’étude des interactions protéine-protéine et l’analyse des profils dephosphorylation indiquent que les MAPKs CA conservent leur spécificité envers leurs substrats et interacteurs. Comme preuve de concept, nous avons généré des formes actives du MPK4. La MPK4 CA exprimée sous son propre promoteur a parfaitement complémenté le mutant mpk4. La caractérisation des lignées exprimant MPK4 CA confirme le rôle négatif de cette kinase dans les réponses de défense aux pathogènes des plantes que ce soit dans la PTI (PAMP Triggered Immunity) ou dans la ETI (Effector Triggered Immunity). Globalement, ce travail permettra de fournir des informations directes sur les cibles des MAPKs et devrait contribuer à la compréhension globale de la transduction du signal chez les plantes
Protein phosphorylations and dephosphorylations are common events occurring duringintracellular signaling processes. Among plant kinases, Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) are involved in signaling of many important biological processes, including biotic and abiotic stresses, development and cytoskeleton organization. Despite an abundant literature on MAPKs, the exact roles and direct targets of many Arabidopsis thaliana MAPKs are not clear yet. The activation of kinases using phospho-mimicking mutations of the phosphorylated residues was a successful approach in the case of MAP2Ks, helping to elucidate their functions. This strategy failed in the case of MAPKs since the necessary residues to mutate remain unclear. To bypass this problem, we adapted a screen based on the functional complementation of a MAPK yeast mutant with randomly mutated Arabidopsis MPK6 in order to identify the ones mutants showing constitutive activity. We identified several clones and showed that these constitutively active (CA) of MPK6 candidates are indeed active without phosphorylation by MAP2Ks. Interestingly, mutations of the equivalent residues in other MAPKs triggered constitutive activity as well, indicating that this strategy may be used as a general approach to activate MAPKs and identify their functions. Interaction and phosphorylation assays indicatedthat CA MAPKs retain their substrate and interactor specificity. As proof-of-concept, we generated active versions of MPK4. CA MPK4 expressed under itsown promoter successfully complements mpk4 mutant plants. Characterization of CA MPK4 lines further confirmed the negative role of MPK4 in plant pathogen defense responses and its implication in both PTI (PAMP Triggered Immunity) and ETI (Effector Triggered Immunity). Overall, the work will help to provide direct information on all MAPK targets and should be an important contribution to the overall understanding of signal transduction in plants

Automated human activity recognition has attracted increasing attention in the past decade. However, the application of machine learning and probabilistic methods for activity recognition problems has been studied only in the past couple of years. For the first time, this thesis explores the application of semi-supervised and active learning in activity recognition. We present a new and efficient semi-supervised training method for parameter estimation and feature selection in conditional random fields (CRFs),a probabilistic graphical model. In real-world applications such as activity recognition, unlabeled sensor traces are relatively easy to obtain whereas labeled examples are expensive and tedious to collect. Furthermore, the ability to automatically select a small subset of discriminatory features from a large pool can be advantageous in terms of computational speed as well as accuracy. We introduce the semi-supervised virtual evidence boosting (sVEB)algorithm for training CRFs — a semi-supervised extension to the recently developed virtual evidence boosting (VEB) method for feature selection and parameter learning. sVEB takes advantage of the unlabeled data via mini-mum entropy regularization. The objective function combines the unlabeled conditional entropy with labeled conditional pseudo-likelihood. The sVEB algorithm reduces the overall system cost as well as the human labeling cost required during training, which are both important considerations in building real world inference systems. Moreover, we propose an active learning algorithm for training CRFs is based on virtual evidence boosting and uses entropy measures. Active virtual evidence boosting (aVEB) queries the user for most informative examples, efficiently builds up labeled training examples and incorporates unlabeled data as in sVEB. aVEB not only reduces computational complexity of training CRFs as in sVEB, but also outputs more accurate classification results for the same fraction of labeled data. Ina set of experiments we illustrate that our algorithms, sVEB and aVEB, benefit from both the use of unlabeled data and automatic feature selection, and outperform other semi-supervised and active training approaches. The proposed methods could also be extended and employed for other classification problems in relational data.

It has been established that Wingate-based high-intensity training (HIT) consisting of 4 to 6 x 30-s all-out sprints interspersed with 4-min recovery is an effective training paradigm. Despite the increased utilisation of Wingate-based HIT to bring about training adaptations, the majority of previous studies have been conducted over a relatively short timeframe (2 to 6 weeks). However, activity during recovery period, intervention duration or sprint length have been overlooked. In study 1, the dose response of recovery intensity on performance during typical Wingate-based HIT (4 x 30-s cycle all-out sprints separated by 4-min recovery) was examined and active recovery (cycling at 20 to 40% of V̇O2peak) has been shown to improve sprint performance with successive sprints by 6 to 12% compared to passive recovery (remained still), while increasing aerobic contribution to sprint performance by ~15%. In the following study, 5 to 7% greater endurance performance adaptations were achieved with active recovery (40%V̇O2peak) following 2 weeks of Wingate-based HIT. In the final study, shorter sprint protocol (4 to 6 x 15-s sprints interspersed with 2 min of recovery) has been shown to be as effective as typical 30-s Wingate-based HIT in improving cardiorespiratory function and endurance performance over 9 weeks with the improvements in V̇O2peak being completed within 3 weeks, whereas exercise capacity (time to exhaustion) being increased throughout 9 weeks. In conclusion, the studies demonstrate that active recovery at 40% V̇O2peak significantly enhances endurance adaptations to HIT. Further, the duration of the sprint does not seem to be a driving factor in the magnitude of change with 15 sec sprints providing similar adaptations to 30 sec sprints. Taken together, this suggests that the arrangement of recovery mode should be considered to ensure maximal adaptation to HIT, and the practicality of the training would be enhanced via the reduction in sprint duration without diminishing overall training adaptations.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, in 2015, Texas special education programs were rated among the lowest in the nation. School districts in the state have a substantial need for effective and efficient staff training. In this study, researchers implemented TAPS: A Talk Aloud Problem Solving Approach Packet to teach active listener qualities to staff members in a life skills special education classroom. A multiple baseline across staff members was used to evaluate the effects of the TAPS training on the presence and absence of the staff members' active listener qualities during a pre-test, a post-test, and probes. The staff members that underwent TAPS training acquired all of the active listener qualities as a function of the TAPS training, and the effects of the training maintained during probe sessions. Additionally, TAPS training appeared to improve staff members' scores on the Whimbey Analytical Skills Inventory (WASI) Test and anecdotally improved the quality of staff and student tutoring interactions. Several areas of potential research and improvement are discussed.

Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of flywheel resistance training on functional neuromuscular performance in physically active youth. Method Forty-four healthy and physically active youth between 12-14 years of age (n=19 boys & n=25 girls) volunteered to participate and were randomized into three different groups of flywheel resistance training (FRT) (n=15, body mass = 42,9 ± 8,6 kg, time to Peak Height Velocity (PHV) = - 0,8 ± 1,6), traditional strength training (TST) (n=15, body mass = 44,7 ± 10,3 kg, time to PHV = - 0,8 ± 1,5) and a control group (CON) (n=14, body mass = 43,8 ± 9,0 kg, time to PHV- 0,8 ± 1,5. Squat jump (SQ), Countermovement jump (CMJ), 10-m acceleration, 20-m speed and 30-sprint was assessed pre- and post-intervention. All training groups performed 12 resistance training sessions over a 6-week intervention. The FRT-group performed bilateral flywheel resistance squats with 4 sets of 6 repetitions with 0,025 to 0,05 kgm2 and the TST-group performed bilateral barbell squats with 4 sets of 6 repetitions at a predicted 80 %1RM, while the control group only performed their regular sports training. Results Repeated measures two way-ANOVA, 3 x 2 (training group x time), showed no significant mean effects between groups after the intervention. A significant increase occurred in the control group for SQ; 2,4 ± 2,5 (cm) p ≤ 0,008 and CMJ; 2,2 ± 3,1 (cm) p ≤ 0,037. Both training groups increased significantly in body mass from pre- to post-tests by 2,0 ± 2,7 kg for the flywheel training group and 1,3 ± 0,9 kg in the traditional strength training group (p ≤ 0,05). Conclusions This study indicates that flywheel training can be used as a resistance training method for youth athletes without inducing training related injuries. Flywheel resistance training resulted in a small but non-significant increase from pre to post test in squat jump and 10-m sprint. Future studies on flywheel resistance training for youth needs to investigate the implementation of longer training periods, additional training sessions, more experienced youth in resistance training and faster movement speed.

Background: The number of women participating in sports has increased dramatically, though research in sports are often performed on men. Physical exercise is known to increase physical performance and improve well-being. Although exercise has beneficial health effects for most of the women, it is known that strenuous exercise may also have negative health consequences. Common are menstrual dysfunctions and the medical effects of a long-standing amenorrhea are serious. Moreover, strenuous exercise without adequate recovery may lead to overreaching (OR) /overtraining syndrome (OTS). An improved muscle strength are of great importance in many sports, hence an increased understanding on how to generate optimal strength training programs in women without negative side effects are essential. The aims of this thesis were to investigate the effects on strength and power of high frequency periodised leg resistance training to evaluate a training regime and moreover to investigate if the training was well accepted and without potential exercise-related negative consequences. Moreover, to provide normative data on oxytocin and cortisol to elucidate if these hormones could be one diagnostic marker in combination with others to monitor and diagnose female athletes that may be at risk to develop OR/OTS. Methods: Fifty-nine women, participated in the four month intervention study. Two groups performed high frequency leg resistance training for two weeks of each menstrual/oral contraceptive (OC) cycle. The remaining part of the cycle they performed the leg training once a week. Group 1, trained with high frequency (5 times·w-1) during the first two weeks of each cycle, and group 2, during the last two weeks of each cycle. A control group performed regular (3 times·w-1) leg resistance training. Another 33 women participated in the observational study. The OC users and non-users, were followed over a nine-month period with monthly blood sampling of oxytocin and cortisol, and the Profile of Mood State (POMS) as a subjective measure of OR/OTS. Results: The women who performed high frequency leg resistance training, 5 times·w-1, during the first two weeks of each cycle showed significant increase in jump height, peak torque values in hamstrings, increased lean body mass of the legs, and their experiences of the training were positive. These results were not found when the periodised training was performed during the last two weeks of each cycle. In the control group an increase in jump height, and peak torque (left hamstring) was observed. There were no evident differences in the training effects between women with or without OC use. Moreover, no exercise-related negative consequences were detected in any of the three groups. The women in the observational study showed seasonal variations in oxytocin and cortisol, with different pattern in OC users to non-users. No convincing relationships to POMS were found. Conclusions: The high frequency periodised leg resistance training during the first two weeks of the cycle is more beneficial to optimize resistance training, than the last two weeks. The high frequency periodised leg resistance training was not associated with exercise-related negative consequences and was well accepted when performed during the first two weeks of each cycle. Due to seasonality and impact of OC use, oxytocin and cortisol are not suggested to be optimal, diagnostic markers alone/in combination with others, to detect OR/OTS in physically active women.

Curriculum reform emphasizes the importance of inquiry instruction for learners. For inquiry-oriented curriculum to occur, attention must be focused on teacher education. Using a mixed-methods design, I investigated if and how groups of student teachers who receive different types of exposure to inquiry differ in their understanding of inquiry instruction. Preservice teachers' descriptions of inquiry experiences in their teacher-preparation program contextualized the results. Considerable effort was given in the first phase of this study to establish the reliability and validity of the Strategic Demands of Inquiry questionnaire.
Participants were from McGill University, Montreal, and included preservice teachers in the Bachelor of Education program, Continuing Education students enrolled in an inquiry-based course, and Honours Psychology students engaged in research. Data sources included the Strategic Demands of Inquiry questionnaire and an interview schedule.
Groups who had different types of exposure to the inquiry approach varied in how they understand inquiry instruction. Fourth-year Elementary preservice teachers held more sophisticated conceptualizations of the inquiry approach and greater appreciation for the components involved in carrying out an inquiry curriculum compared to first-year Elementary preservice teachers. After the completion of an inquiry-oriented course, Continuing Education students (including experienced teachers) were similar to fourth-year Elementary student teachers in conceptualizing and identifying important components of inquiry instruction. First-year Elementary and Secondary student teachers were different in their views of inquiry instruction. Finally, Honours Psychology students, who were engaged in scholarly research, held sophisticated conceptualizations of the inquiry approach. However, they did not use this knowledge of the inquiry method as extensively as fourth-year preservice teachers to identify important aspects of inquiry instruction. Therefore, although experience with the inquiry method may be necessary for conceptualizing inquiry as a pedagogical approach, it is not sufficient to enable undergraduates to identify important aspects of planning, enacting, and evaluating an inquiry curriculum.
These findings point to the importance of the Bachelor of Education program in advancing knowledge about inquiry instruction. Fourth-year student teachers reported experiences with the inquiry approach that influenced their understanding of this method. This study also provided evidence for the construct validity of the Strategic Demands of Inquiry questionnaire.

This research looks at dance training and its effects on Self-concept and Self-perception. In is a literature review with proposed research methodology. By analyzing forms of dance training in different dance environments we can determine which methods allow for healthy development of self. This research focuses of the argument regarding dance as a sport and physical activity. Using Symbolic Interaction Theory this research looks at how the specific interactions of the individuals in the differing environments affect their development of self. Since there are many genres of dance, individual interactions in the dance realm can be highly varied which could relate to the development of self. Knowing physical activity does lead to positive self-perception, it is necessary to determine how the different environments can affect the final outcome so that instructors and mentors can develop effective methods of teaching.

Simulation holds enormous potential for medical education, where patient safety concerns have made practice on patients less acceptable. However, there is no unequivocal evidence of simulation training translating to improved performance in vivo. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to add to the literature on simulation training by a) synthesising the current evidence on the effectiveness of simulation training in healthcare, b) investigating the effectiveness of different ‘doses’ of mannequin training in learning laryngeal mask airway placement and c) assessing the effectiveness of a simulation course on managing life threatening illness. This thesis has added to the literature in the field of medical education a review of reviews of the evidence regarding the effectiveness of simulation training in medicine and surgery, and two RCTs evaluating different simulation training courses. The review of reviews highlighted that simulation training can be effective, but there was little consistent evidence across tasks or types of simulator. The two RCTs reported nil results, reinforcing that simulation alone is insufficient to ensure effectiveness. These results highlight the importance of recognising when simulation training is appropriate, how simulation interacts with other elements of a training programme and how the simulation can be made maximally effective.

This thesis applies an interdisciplinary cybernetic and phenomenological analysis to contemporary theories of representation and interpretation of architecture, resulting in a speculative theoretical model of architectural experience as a behavioural system. The methodological model adopted for this research defines the main structure of the thesis where the narrative and the contributing parts of its complexity emerge. The narrative is presented through objectives and hypotheses that shift and slide between architectural representation and its experience based on three key internal components in architecture: the architectural forms and spaces, the active observers that interact with their environment, and finally, the responsive environment. Three interrelated research questions are considered. The first seeks to define the influence of the theoretical instability between complex life processes, emerging technologies and active perception upon architecture. The second questions the way in which the architectural experience is generated. The third asks: Does architecture behave? And if so, is it possible to define its behavioural characteristics related to its representation, experience and the medium of communication in-between? The thesis begins by exploring the effect of developments in digitally interactive, biological, and hybrid technologies on representation in architecture. An account of architectural examples considers the shift in the meaning of representation in architecture from the actual and literal to the more conceptual and experimental, from the individual human body and its relations to the multifaceted ecosystem of collective and connected cultures. The writings of Kester Rattenbury, Neil Leach, and Peter Cook among others contribute to the transformation of the ordinary perceptual experience of architecture, the development of experimental practices in architectural theory, and the dynamism of our perception. The thesis goes on to suggest that instability in architectural representation does not only depend on the internal components of the architectural system but also on the principles and processes of complex systems as well as changes in active perception and our consciousness that act as the external influences on the system. Established theoretical endeavours in biology of D’Arcy Thompson, Alan Turing, and John Holland and philosophies of Merleau-Ponty, Richard Gregory, and Deleuze and Guattari are discussed in this context. Pre-programmed and computational models, illustrative and generative, are presented throughout the thesis. In the final stage of the development of the thesis architecture is analysed as a system. This is not an unprecedented notion, however defining the main elements and components of this system and their interactions and thereafter identifying that the system behaves and defining its behavioural characteristics, adds to the knowledge in the field of theoretical and experimental architecture. This thesis considers the behavioural characteristics of architecture to be derived from the hypothetical links and unstable thresholds of its non-dualistic notions of materiality and immateriality, reality and virtuality, and finally, intentionality and interpretation.

The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) currently recommends 1 set of 8 - 12 repetitions as the minimal dose of resistance training (RT) required to achieve the health and fitness benefits gained from RT. Yet, certain benefits derived from resistance training are not mentioned by the ACSM. An increase in basal metabolic rate (BMR) is a possible health benefit derived from RT. However, no previous studies have examined the effect of the ACSM's current resistance training recommendations on BMR. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if this low level of RT could increase BMR in currently active older men. Sixteen subjects were assigned to either a training group or control group for 10 weeks of training. The training group continued their current aerobic activity while adding 1 set of RT 2x/week as recommended by the ACSM. The control group continued their aerobic activity with no modifications. Measurements of strength, fat free mass (FFM), and BMR were made pre- and posttraining. The training group showed an increase in strength (P<0.05) while the control group did not change. The training and control groups showed no change in FFM or BMR (P<0.05). The strength increases reported in the current study were of expected values while FFM and BMR have not been previously examined with this protocol. It was concluded that 10 weeks of RT using 1 set of 8 - 12 repetitions does not increase BMR in currently active older men.

In order to facilitate and evaluate physical readiness, active duty personnel of all branches of the U.S. military are required to pass periodic fitness assessments. United States Air Force (USAF) personnel must pass a fitness assessment in order to earn satisfactory performance evaluations and be eligible for special duty assignments and promotion. Prior research suggests that fitness levels in women decrease after pregnancy and childbirth and that most women have not achieved pre-pregnancy fitness levels by 6 months postpartum. Furthermore, women can be particularly vulnerable to mental and physical health problems during the postpartum period. Therefore, some women may struggle in preparing for and passing the 6-month postpartum fitness assessment. It is unknown how training for the fitness assessment during this time of vulnerability may impact health.

The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of active duty women as they prepare for their fitness assessment after childbirth. The aim of this study was to describe and interpret the experience of active duty women who train for the Air Force fitness assessment taken at 6 months postpartum. A Heideggerian hermeneutic approach was used to interpret meaning in the experiences of these women in order to develop a better understanding about this phenomenon. Two overarching patterns emerged from this analysis: Striving to Perform under Pressure through Profound Life Transitions of Childbirth and Seeking Understanding from Others. These results provide insight into the challenges women face in regaining optimal fitness after childbirth and can be used by healthcare providers and USAF leaders to facilitate active duty postpartum women in returning to optimal fitness and well-being.

Literature has argued that starting new churches is biblical and strategic, requiring the effective equipping of church planters and leaders through adult learning methods (Acts 13:1–4 and 14:20–23; Keller, 2003, p. 1; Reimer, 2016, p. 74). The sobering reality is that about one-third of church plants do not survive (Stetzer & Bird, 2007, p. 5). In partnering with churches and leaders to plant more churches, SENT Network (SENT) has identified a need to provide more effective and timely training, so its church leaders improve the skills required to start and lead thriving churches. With the unique challenge of being geographically dispersed, leaders in SENT need blended learning with active training during the face-to-face component, according to existing literature (Mark 3:13–19; Luke 5:1–11; Acts 2:14, 41–47; Hyun, Ediger, & Lee, 2017; Lee, 2010; Silberman, 2006). For this research, nine leaders from eight local churches were divided into two six-week cohorts to learn to lead others to center on Jesus and the gospel through blended learning with active training. The hypotheses were that blended learning is a viable method for SENT to use and that active training during the face-to-face component results in improved skills in church leaders. Data were collected through these instruments: Artifacts Submission Tracking, Online Engagement Survey (OSE), Training Evaluation Survey, Observation Checklist, and the Community of Inquiry Survey (CoI). After the data were collected, disaggregated, and analyzed, the hypothesis was confirmed that blended learning with active training is an effective strategy to equip church planters and leaders within SENT. The implication for SENT includes offering additional training topics, which also has implications for other organizations seeking to advance God’s kingdom through starting new churches.

A majority of active shooter incidents occur at the workplace (FBI, 2014), and the frequency of natural disasters is on the rise (Mileti, 1999). Many large agencies prepare employees through various response training approaches for such crises. TSA historically addressed training for all emergencies through a mandatory online all-hazards training, along with yearly evacuation drills. Following the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) shooting on November 1, 2013, a mandatory active shooter web-based training was also assigned to every TSA employee. After completing both the all-hazards and active shooter web-based trainings courses, TSA employees had the option to participate in the training evaluation surveys. Analysis of the feedback from the online trainings informs both the acceptability of this training format, as well as future improvements for the web-based curriculum. This research highlights the suitability of providing important training to TSA officers online.

Active shooter events in the U.S. are occurring more often in commercial environment and schools. In these emergency situations educators must quickly decide to complete actions that will protect themselves and their students. Typically, during these situations, the educator should complete in a run, hide, or fight sequence of behaviors. The educator must also consider challenges for their student’s particular disabilities during these situations. Interactive computerized training (ICT) may be one easy method to teach educators these procedures. The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of interactive computerized training to help educators learn how to respond during two active shooter situations when caring for an individual with autism spectrum disorder. After completing the 90 min interactive computerized training, all educators responded correctly to each type of active shooter situation. These correct responses continued after a 2-week period without practice.

With a greater understanding of the fundamentals of crystal engineering lays the potential for the development of a vast array of novel materials for a plethora of applications. Addressed herein is the latent potential of the current knowledge base with an emphasis upon cocrystallization and the desire for scientific exploration that will lead to the development of a future generation of novel cocrystals. The focus of this dissertation is to expand the cocrystallization knowledge base in two directions with the utilization of cocrystals in the novel synthetic technique of cocrystal controlled solid-state synthesis and in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Cocrystal controlled solid-state synthesis uses a cocrystal to align the reactive moieties in such a way that the reaction occurs more quickly and in higher yield than the typical solution methodology. The focus herein is upon cocrystal controlled solid-state synthesis of imides where an anhydride and primary amine were the reactive moieties. Forty-nine reactions were attempted and thirty-two resulted in successful imide formation. In addition, the cocrystal was isolated as part of the reaction pathway in three cases and is described in detail. The impact of cocrystals upon active pharmaceutical ingredients is also addressed with a focus upon generating novel crystal forms of lamotrigine and meloxicam. Cocrystallization attempts of lamotrigine resulted in ten novel crystal forms including three cocrystals, one cocrystal solvate, three salts, one solvated salt, a methanol solvate, and an ethanol hydrate. Additionally, cocrystallization attempts of meloxicam afforded seven novel cocrystals. Solubility and pharmacokinetic studies were conducted for a selected set of lamotrigine and meloxicam crystal forms to determine the crystal form with the most desirable properties. Properties between crystal form and cocrystal former were also examined.

Two training procedures (active rehearsal, passive observation) were assessed for relative effectiveness in the acquisition of sequential fire emergency skills, reducing fire-related fears and physiological arousal, and increasing self-efficacy and rationale for fire safety skills. Active subjects imitated videotaped models performing emergency behavior while receiving behavior-contingent feedback. Passive viewers received no practice or feedback. Experimental groups were compared to untrained controls. Active rehearsal was expected to lead to superior skill acquisition, fear-reduction, self-efficacy appraisals, rationale acquisition, and reduction of physiological reactivity (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate). Subjects were 52 third-grade children. Dependent measures were assessed at pre-test, post-test, and five-month follow-up. Significant performance gains were found for both experimental groups, but not for controls. Active training produced significantly greater skill acquisition. Skill gains were not maintained at follow-up. All groups showed significant reductions in fear at post-test, but no differences were found between groups. Active training also produced significantly greater self-efficacy appraisals for one emergency situation. Both experimental groups demonstrated significant gains in rationale acquisition relative to controls. Physiological results were confounded by pre-test differences. Correlations between various measures were examined. A significant relationship was found between self-efficacy appraisals and behavioral performance for one emergency situation. The correlation between self-report of fear and self-efficacy was highly significant across time. The implications of active training strategies in fire safety programs are discussed.

Female soccer is becoming more popular and professional in the world. There are, however, limited scientific data available on how elite female players respond to physical stress during soccer games. An effective recovery strategy following a game is important, because there are few recovery days between the games in international tournaments. The present thesis, which was designed to mirror a competitive situation, aimed to investigate changes in several physiological systems occurring in female elite players in response to two soccer games. It also aimed to investigate the effects of active recovery training on the recovery of several physiological systems. METHODS: Two elite female soccer teams played two 90-min games separated by 72 h active or passive recovery. The active recovery training (cycling at 60% HRpeak, resistance training at <50% 1RM) lasted one hour and was performed 22 and 46 h after the first game. Countermovement jump (CMJ), 20-m sprint time and isokinetic knee strength were measured before, immediately, 5, 21, 45, 51, and 69 h after the first game, and immediately after the second game. The physical stress markers (CK, urea), oxidative stress markers (e.g., GSSG, lipid peroxidation), endogenous (e.g., UA, thiols) and dietary antioxidants (e.g., tocopherols, carotenoids) and a large battery of cytokines (e.g., IL-6, TNF-α) were analysed in blood. RESULTS: No significant differences were observed in the performance parameters, oxidative stress and antioxidant levels or inflammatory response between the active and passive recovery groups. Sprint and isokinetic knee strength were reduced by the same extent after both games. CMJ decreased after the first game and remained reduced throughout the study period. Blood physical stress markers, GSSG and endogenous antioxidants increased with similar amplitude after both games together with unchanged lipid peroxidation. The dietary antioxidants showed either a rapid and persistent change (e.g., tocopherols) or a delayed rise (carotenoids) after the first game. A transient increase occurred in several pro- (e.g., IL-12, TNF-a, MCP-1), anti-inflammatory (e.g., IL-4, IL-10, INF-a) and mixed (IL-6) cytokines after the first game. Fewer cytokines increased in response to the second game. CONCLUSION: Two repeated elite female soccer games separated by 72 h induced similar acute changes in several physiological parameters. After the first game, differences in the recovery pattern of the neuromuscular parameters occurred. In particular, the slow recovery of CMJ indicates that special attention should be devoted to the training of explosive force. Furthermore, the recruitment of antioxidants in response to the transient increase in GSSG resulted in the maintenance of the redox-balance in female players. Similarly, a strong and balanced pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine response occurred after one single female soccer game. The consequences of the dampened cytokine response during repeated soccer games are, however, unknown. In general, the majority of the parameters had recovered prior to the second game and the physiological alterations induced by the first game did not affect the performance of players in the second game. Finally, active recovery training conducted after a soccer game does not accelerate the recovery time for neuromuscular, oxidative stress, antioxidant and inflammatory responses in elite female players.
