Vehicle Class Recognition with Probes Using 3D

▼ We present new methods of vehicle
class recognition
for four classes of vehicles (specifically, SUV, mini-van, sedan,
and pickup truck) using one or more fixed video-cameras in
arbitrary positions with respect to a road. The ultimate goal is to
deal with a very large number of classes. The road is assumed to be
essentially straight. The system works as follows: 1. A vehicle
silhouette is computed, using standard algorithms, in each video
frame. 2. The vehicle straight line trajectory and the 3D position
along the trajectory, as seen in each of a sequence of video
frames, is estimated using a new computationally simple approach
based on vanishing points and the cross ratio invariance. 3. The 3D
points are computed from the vehicle apparent contours in a
sequnece of frames. 4. 3D geometry such as total length, cabin
length, width, height, and functions of these are computed and
become features for use in a classifier. 5. Classification is done
by a minimum probability of error recognizer. 6. The system is
designed to produce good classification even when portions of the
silhouette in an image frame may not be good by extensive use of
histograms. 7. Finally, since classification error based on a
single video clip may not be small enough, where additional video
clips taken elsewhere are available we design classifiers based on
two or more video clips, and this results in significant
classification-error reduction.

Yoga’s Dis/Union: Class Relations, Social Mobility, and

▼ This dissertation explores the intersections of
class
relations, social mobility, and bodily self-care. In recent years,
yoga has become increasingly accessible to Mexicans through
state-sponsored initiatives executed in city spaces, low-income
neighborhoods, and government institutes. My study of yoga’s
production, promotion, and practice in these spaces and among
diverse social sectors in Mexico City provides a window onto how
Mexicans are maneuvering
class boundaries, and are also being
maneuvered by them. Twenty-four months of ethnographic research
revealed an underlying tension between the ways yoga practitioners
idealize social sameness and how they aspire for bodily (personal,
social, national) transformation. It is in this space of tension
where, I argue,
class divisions are being challenged and
reinforced, revealing both the likelihoods and limits of mobility
in urban Mexico. Yoga’s promise for union affects Mexicans’
interactions with each other, impacts people’s expectations of
themselves and others, and sometimes shifts life possibilities and
impossibilities. It provides some people new credentials, labor
options, and social status, and expands networks of mutual
assistance. While the potential for mobility that yoga granted some
Mexicans was remarkable, it involved new challenges, too; for some,
in terms of its upkeep and, for others, its concealment. Here,
mobility may be characterized by transition and instability, yet it
is experienced as a relational transformation, one that offers
Mexicans a kind of mobility I call constrained potential. Prospects
for social mobility among working-
class practitioners, for example,
may be limited, but their modes of relating to others complicate
our readings of
class to allow for a richer analysis of how it is
experienced. In this way, my analysis demonstrates that modalities
of self-care feel empowering to practitioners at the same time that
they offer a stark look at how structural differences in Mexico are
being obscured by state-sponsored discourses of self-care. The
practice of yoga is therefore both a reaction to rising
inequalities (unequal chances to live “the good life” in Mexico),
and emblematic of them, too: of the inability to secure work with
stable pay or access affordable, quality health care.

Residencial San Felipe: Contemporary Latin American
Middle-Class Groups Meet.

▼ In the last decades, the Latin American middle-
class
is growing in size while becoming more heterogeneous. Sustained
economic growth explains its increasing size. Nevertheless behind
its heterogeneity there is not only the diversification of
life-styles, but also the crystallization of a large process of
upward social mobility of second and third generation migrants to
capital cities and their incorporation into middle-
class positions.
In the last decades, these individuals have assimilated different
spheres of socialization formerly occupied by the traditional
middle-
class: private schools, college and universities,
middle-
class jobs and occupations, and traditional middle-
class
neighborhoods.
In this dissertation I study Residencial San Felipe, a
quintessential traditional middle-
class neighborhood in Lima, Perú,
which is currently receiving an important influx of upward mobile
families. Precisely, the case of San Felipe shows that inside the
contemporary middle-
class a strong boundary between the
"traditional middle-
class" and the "new middle-
class" permeates the
everyday life of the neighborhood. However, though this difference
between the "traditional" and "new middle-
class" is recognized by
all residents of San Felipe, its relevance as well as the elements
at the basis of this distinction varies according to cohorts'
trajectories.
Classic approaches to social phenomena as "group," "
class,"
and "neighborhood" (generally considered as static and taken for
granted) are not helpful to understand this tension inside San
Felipe. Here I propose a relational-fluid perspective that puts
emphasis on inter-group relations and mobility at different levels
(in individuals' daily lives in routines, in their
life-trajectories, and in the transformation of the social space
itself). I found that the transformation of the social space
generated different trajectories into middle-
class positions; that
trajectories in the social space (and not only positions in it)
shape the symbolic boundaries that individuals use to classify
others; and that daily routines affect the extent to which the
neighborhood is relevant for their lives. In San Felipe, all these
elements plus an intense work of organization makes the senior
old-timers the more consolidated "practical group," who make their
point of view of how things should be prevail, and with
consequences for the other groups in San Felipe.

▼ This thesis discusses hand-painted decoration on British ceramics in the period 1870 to 1920 in the context of changing economic and social climates and gendered employment and occupation. The original impetus for this research came from analysis of ware produced at the South Wales Pottery in Llanelli sometime in the period 1877 to 1920. As the research expanded and links with other potteries were established, it became evident that varied innovations in hand-painted ceramic decoration were influenced by national, local and gendered responses to a period of transition in Britain.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate how teachers conceptualize disruptive behaviour and to explore the strategies they use in combating class disruption at senior primary schools in the Otjozondjupa region. A qualitative case study design was used to investigate this phenomenon in the two best-performing schools and two under-performing schools in the Otjozondjupa region. The target population for this study consisted of senior primary school teachers (Grades 4 to Grade7) from selected schools in the Otjozondjupa region. Purposive sampling was used to select the top two performing schools and two under-performing schools as per their respective performances in the National Standardized Tests (MoEAC, 2015). Criterion sampling strategies were used to select the sample of thirteen (13) teachers from the four schools. Semi-structured interviews and observation were used as data collection instruments. The results of the study confirmed growing awareness among primary school teachers of classroom disruption and the effectiveness of classroom management strategies that factor in environmental, structural, and background variables. The study revealed that verbal and nonverbal actions can constitute perceived disruptive behaviour. The study also established that perceived causes of classroom disruption significantly influenced by social and psychological factors. Parental involvement and keeping learners engaged also emerged as strategies teachers most prominently employ in managing classroom disruption. The study concludes that teachers who could leverage teaching experience, understood the importance of social factors, and took a proactive approach in addressing classroom disruption were more successful than those who were passive, inexperienced or did not understand how learning and behaviour are socially influenced. The study recommends broadening the understanding of inclusive education approaches and cultures for addressing classroom behaviour in the Namibian school system.

▼ Bu çalışma Zonguldak Kömür Havzası'ndaki işçi sınıfı oluşum sürecini toplumsal ve tarihsel dinamikleriyle anlama ve açıklama çabasıdır. Çalışmanın temel problemi; Zonguldak Kömür Havzası'ndaki işçi sınıf oluşumunda, işçi sınıfı hareketlerini oluşturan açık ve gizli direniş örüntülerinin tarihsel, politik ve kültürel kaynaklarının neler olduğu ve bu kaynaklardan nasıl beslenildiği sorusudur. Çalışmanın temel amacı, Zonguldak Kömür Havzası'nda deneyimlenen sınıflar arası ve sınıf içi çatışmaların tarihsel süreçlerini işçilerin gözünden değerlendirerek analizini yapmaktır. Saha çalışması Zonguldak (Merkez, Kilimli, Kozlu, Çaycuma, Gelik, Ereğli), Bartın, Ankara (Çankaya) ve İstanbul'da (Kadıköy) gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada ampirik bulgular tezin iddialarının somutlaştığı Zonguldak Kömür Havzası'nda işçi sınıfı oluşumunun tarihsel süreci içerisinde kuramsal çerçeveyle birlikte sunulmaktadır. İşçilerin gündelik hayatı; emek süreci içinde ve dışındaki deneyimleri, sınıf çatışmasının ön plana çıktığı nesnel koşullardan olan grevler sırasındaki beklenti, eylem ve direniş pratiklerinin işçi sınıfının oluşum sürecinde etkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
The aim of this study is to understand and explain the process of working
class formation in Zonguldak Coal Basin through the perspective of social and historical dynamics. The main problem of the study is the question of what the historical, political and cultural resources of the declared and undisclosed form of resistance patterns constituting the working-
class movements in the process of working
class formation in Zonguldak Coal Basin are, and how it is nourished from these resources. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the historical processes of interclass and intraclass conflicts experienced in the Zonguldak Coal Basin from the workers' perspective. The field study was conducted in Zonguldak (Center, Kilimli, Kozlu, Caycuma, Gelik, Eregli), Bartin, Ankara (Cankaya) and Istanbul (Kadikoy). Empirical findings are presented along with the theoretical framework within the historical process of working
class formation in the Zonguldak Coal Basin, where the claims of the thesis are embodied. It has been concluded that the daily life of the workers- their experiences in and out of the labor process- and the expectation, action and resistance practices during strikes, which are the objective conditions in which
class conflict stands out, are effective in the formation process of the working-
class formation.

▼ This practice led research has explored the various ways taste (with its implicit relationship to class) has manifest itself as a type of cultural marker, sending a series of complex and coded messages to its audience. With a focus on a local, Australian contemporary and historical culture, the research exerts that the talismans of 21st century taste inhabit a psychic space, a complex matrix of subliminal and latent cultural ideas, implicitly understood by both artist/producers and their audiences/consumers. Themes and motifs present in the paintings are examined and hypothesised as exemplifying this condition, simultaneously offering the superficial comfort of naïve recognition and a deep,reflective cultural discourse. The research finds that a middle–class hegemony permeates not only the fields of reception and production, but unlike other creative disciplines in Australia, the visual arts are reluctant to engage directly with these issues. It also finds that the process of aestheticisation, once the domain of the creative arts is now embodied in all aspects of middle–class culture, best seen through its hagiographic treatment of food and foodism.

▼ class="hilite">
Class-AB amplifiers have better power efficiency than
class-A amplifiers, which makes them a suitable choice for pipeline ADCs where low power, high performance opamps are desired. However,
class-AB amplifiers have significantly lower linearity compared to
class-A amplifiers due to the problem of cross-over distortion.
In this work, the problem of designing power efficient, high linearity
class-AB amplifiers is addressed. The Monticelli bias scheme, which is the most popular
class-AB bias scheme today, is analyzed. A new
class-AB bias scheme, which is highly robust to process variations and achieves better linearity than the Monticelli bias scheme, is proposed. The problem of “cross-over distortion” in the
class-AB amplifier is addressed and a solution is proposed. The idea behind this method is that the third order nonlinearity in the
class-AB amplifier can be reduced or eliminated by matching the output stage NMOS and PMOS transistor transconductance across the input signal range, ensuring a constant transconductance at the output, improving linearity performance. To ensure good matching across process, voltage and temperature variations (P.V.T), a feedback calibration scheme is proposed.

▼ The purpose of this study was to analyze the practices and challenges of teaching and
class
room management in primary schools of Yeka Sub-City. To this end, descriptive survey design
was employed, and both qualitative and quantitative methods as well as both primary and
secondary sources of data were used. The primary sources include primary school principals,
teachers, and education officials from Yeka sub-city, supervisors and students. The secondary
sources were relevant policy documents, school reports previously written theses. A total of
190 sample respondents were used as primary sources of data. This includes 90 primary
school teachers, 90 students, 6 primary school principals, 2 supervisors and 2 education
officials from Yeka Sub-city. The teachers and students were selected by using systematic
random sampling technique; the principals were selected by using purposive sampling
technique because, they were selective, the data found from them was judgmental and nonprobability
sampling technique whereas the supervisors and education officials were selected
by using availability sampling technique because, they were available or easily found at
research areas. Data collection tools were questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, focus
group discussions and observation checklist. The data were analyzed using frequency count
and percentage. The data analysis led to the following major findings: the most frequently used
methods of teaching were group discussion and role playing; lecture and demonstration
methods were used “sometimes” whereas gaming was rarely used; the most serious causes of
students misbehaviors in the primary schools were student-related and teacher-related causes;
the preventive technique of classroom management used by teachers was found to be creating
good relationships with the students; the most widely applied curative technique was
separating misbehaving students. Finally, it was found out that the major challenges
encountered teachers’ lack of interest for learning among students and lack of adequate
supplementary learning materials. The main finding of the research is in order to overcome the
problems of teaching and
class room management of first cycle primary schools; teachers need
incentives, continuous trainings and permanent motivational programs. In order to build their
teaching and
class room management skills, to control the high turnover and leaving jobs of
teacher’s different incentives are very important. Lack of refresher training for teachers,
problems such as lack of housing and adequate financial incentive led teachers less motivated
for teaching and classroom management. Hence, it could be safely concluded that the practice
of teaching and classroom management in first cycle primary schools of Yeka sub city was only
moderately effective. Based on the findings and conclusion drawn, certain feasible
recommendation was made. That is: The education experts and school authorities inYeka Subcity
should strengthen the continuous professional…

▼ Catania (1973), in discussing the concept of the operant suggested responses should not be classified based on arbitrary criteria such as response function or topography alone, and rather should focus on the continuous distribution of responding. Catania (1973) hypothesised that response distributions would resemble a normal curve, even when reinforcement was provided for only those responses that occurred between two limits. Six domestic hens were used in a series of experiments in order to investigate Catania’s (1973) suggestion. In the first experiment the hens pecked at a flat screen with an infra-red device was mounted in front the screen to detect response location. Pecks in defined regions of the screen resulted in 3-s access to wheat. Over conditions, different quadrants of the screen were active. The whole screen remained white throughout each session except when the reinforcement was being delivered. The hens responded on a fixed-ration 5 schedule for 40 reinforcers per session. Over sessions the distribution of the locations of responses shifted to being centred over the active quadrant. Proportions of correct responses increased across sessions but incorrect responses persisted throughout. In Experiment 2 the screen was divided into ten 30-mm regions of which one was active in each condition while the whole screen remained white. The active region was moved in steps from the left to the right and from the right to the left of the screen over eleven conditions with eight sessions in each conditions and a fixed-ratio 5 schedule. In general, in each condition the proportion of correct responses increased to around 0.4. In each condition the distribution of response location shifted to being centred over the active region, resembling a normal distribution. In most cases, response rates on the active region were higher than for the inactive regions, hens usually responded on several regions at a moderate rate. In Condition 12 the active region was coloured red and this resulted in a narrower distribution of response locations, and higher proportions of correct response that other conditions for most hens. A large number of incorrect response persisted throughout this condition. These findings provide some evidence that supports Catania’s (1973) hypothetical response distributions. The argument is made that Catania’s (1973) concept of the operant could be a way to organise responses into a
class and also that is provides a means of classifying response while maintaining the continuity of behaviour and, therefore, avoids the use of arbitrary criterion.

▼ This study examines upward economic mobility into the planter
class in Texas during the antebellum statehood period, 1846-1860. Using quantitative methods to analyze data from census and tax records, this study addresses several questions regarding the property owning experience of Texas planters. Did any of the 1860 planters, men or women, rise to that status from another
class? If so, how many rose from small slaveholder or small planter origins, and how many advanced from plain folk origins? In what ways did the amount and nature of wealth of these individuals change in the period studied? In what ways do these findings provide insights into the debate over planter dominance versus ‘plain folk’ inclusive herrenvolk democracy and the relationship between the planters and the other classes? Did the experiences of female planters differ from that of male planters? Did female planter experiences in Texas differ from female planters in other parts of the Old South? The results of these questions demonstrate that economic
class mobility into the richest
class was significant but limited and that women’s experiences were closely tied to those of male kin.

▼ Social histories of New Zealand’s colonial wealthy usually focus on those who left personal papers, ignoring those who left no major records. What is more, histories of the wealthy have tended to focus on the South Island—there is no reason to assume that the North Island rich were the same. This thesis attempts to address both these imbalances by approaching wealthy individuals in colonial Wairarapa systematically—locating all testators who died between 1876 and 1913, leaving estates worth £10,000 or more. This process produces a cohort of sixty-five, mainly farmers and mostly of middle-
class origins. Testamentary records demonstrate that in private, the rich stayed true to their origins by splitting their wealth evenly. Other forms of biographical information, most notably newspaper obituaries and Cyclopedia entries, show that public life was different. Here, the rich departed from their origins; whereas community involvement and charitable works had been an important aspect of middle-
class identity in Britain, the colonial experience forced wealthy capitalists to redefine public status. Throughout, this thesis demonstrates the importance of regional social histories in New Zealand by thinking ‘under as well as across the nation’—extending South Island scholarship of the wealthy into the North Island and examining the manifestation of large historical forces close-up in communities of individuals.

▼ This project restructures the canon of working
class literature by reviving the first novels of a series of early twentieth century working
class writers from across the British Isles—from Ireland, Patrick MacGill's Children of the Dead End (1914); from England, Robert Tressell's The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists (1914) and Ethel Carnie's Miss Nobody (1913); and from Scotland, James Welsh's The Underworld (1920), James Haslam's The Handloom Weaver's Daughter (1904), and George Douglas Brown's The House with the Green Shutters (1901). By deploying cultural memory studies as a framework for analyzing these authors' works, I establish the field of the nascent working
class novel, and I explore how the formal qualities of these texts derived from larger desires amongst working
class people to simultaneously commemorate and reconstitute working
class culture and experience through the novel form.

▼ This study explores the relationship between social class and engagement with
education. A qualitative approach was used in the investigation. Four participants
narrated their stories of their journey through the education system. Three
participants were at Bachelor of Arts level in a community education centre and
one at Masters Degree level in an Institute of Technology. A focus group,
comprising women from an English/Literacy class in a community education
centre was conducted using the following themes which emerged as significant in
the narratives:
• Social and cultural norms
• Conditions in the classroom (a) the State (b) the teacher
• Parental support
• Community education
The four narratives and a summary of the findings from the focus group is also
given. They are then analysed under the themes already mentioned. The findings
demonstrate that although there is a strong relationship between social class and
engagement with education, the other four factors are quite significant. In order to
ensure a more equitable education system, the State must take responsibility for the
legislation which impacts on education. It is also responsible for the provision of
remedial services and these should be available to all children who need them.
Teachers must be aware of the importance of their role in providing a classroom
environment which is conducive to learning. The study emphasised the importance
of parental support in children’s education and the need for the government to
support parents in their efforts to do this by the provision of parenting courses and
other services which would benefit families in this regard. All the participants were
unanimous in their praise of community education and how it had impacted
positively on their lives. It is imperative therefore that the government reconsiders
its decisions to reduce funding for worthwhile services such as family support
projects and community education.

▼ What are the
class culture differences among US
progressive social movement groups? This mixed-methods study finds
that activists speak and act differently depending on their
class
background, current
class and upward, downward or steady
class
trajectory, confirming previous research on cultural capital and
conditioned
class predispositions. In 2007-8, 34 meetings of 25
groups in four movement traditions were observed in five states;
364 demographic surveys were collected; and 61 interviews were
conducted. I compared activists' approaches to six frequently
mentioned group problems. * Lifelong-working-
class activists,
usually drawn in through preexisting affiliations, relied on
recruitment incentives such as food and one-on-one relationships.
Both disempowered neophytes and experienced powerhouses believed in
strength in numbers, had positive attitudes towards trustworthy
leaders, and stressed loyalty and unity. *
Lifelong-professional-middle-
class (PMC) activists, usually
individually committed to a cause prior to joining, relied on
shared ideas to recruit. They focused more on internal
organizational development and had negative attitudes towards
leadership. Subsets of PMC activists behaved differently: lower
professionals communicated tentatively and avoided conflict, while
upper-middle-
class people were more assertive and polished. *
Upwardly mobile straddlers tended to promote their moral
certainties within groups. A subset, uprooted from their
working-
class backgrounds but not assimilated into professional
circles, sometimes pushed self-righteously and brought discord into
groups. * Voluntarily downwardly mobile activists, mostly young
white anarchists, drew the strongest ideological boundaries and had
the most distinct movement culture. Mistrustful of new people and
sometimes seeing persuasion as coercive, they had the weakest
recruitment and group cohesion methods. Analysis of
class speech
differences found that working-
class activists spoke more often but
more briefly in meetings, preferred more concrete speech, and used
more teasing and self-deprecating humor. The
professional-middle-
class (in background and/or current
class)
spoke longer but less often, preferred more abstract vocabulary,
and used less negative humor. Group styles were formed by the
interplay of members' predominant
class trajectories and groups'
movement traditions. Better understanding these
class culture
differences would enable activists to strengthen cross-
class
alliances to build more powerful social movements.

▼ This paper investigates the relationship between
intergenerational mobility and subjective
class status, with a
specific focus on downward mobility. I propose that downward
mobility will be associated with a higher likelihood of reporting a
working/lower
class status – as opposed to a middle or upper
class
status – even after accounting for other determinants of
class
status, such as income and education. Using logistic regression, I
analyze the General Social Survey from 1994 – 2014 with a total
sample size of just under 9,000 respondents. I find that both
perceived downward mobility and objective downward mobility are
independently associated with higher probabilities of identifying
as lower/working
class, with subjective downward mobility
demonstrating a consistently stronger association. While subjective
upward mobility is associated with a decrease in the log odds of
identifying as lower or working
class, the association between
objective upward mobility and lower/working
class status can be
largely explained by social and economic factors such as subjective
mobility and more traditional predictors of
class status like
income and education. This study builds on and updates existing
research on intergenerational mobility. It applies social mobility
research to a new context by studying its effect on subjective
class status.

▼ This research applies a survey investigation method and uses students from case schools as samples. The research background variables are âa teacherâs leadership skill,â âstudentsâ notion of
class management efficiency,â and âthe difference among administrationsâ evaluation of
class management efficiency.â The association between a teacherâs leadership skill and a classâs management efficiency is studied.
This research applies a survey investigation method and uses a vocational school from the southern part of Taiwan as the research
class="hilite">subject. The participants are 1,569 students from a vocational school and a stratified sampling method is applied. The usage of research tools includes the following: In terms of a teacherâs leading skill, Mu Jin, Chenâs (1999) âthe self testing table of evaluating a teacherâs leading skill in a classroomâ is adapted. In terms of the evaluation of studentsâ notion of
class management efficiency, Chen Zong, Shenâs (2006) âthe scale table of a classâs management efficiency surveyâ and Jin Tang, Qiuâs (2002) âthe scale table of a junior high school studentâs opinion responseâ are adapted. In terms of the evaluation of an administrationâs
class management efficiency evaluation, the evaluation outcome of a related classâs management efficiency announced by the studied school is used.
The research showed that to male, married, long working experience, and natural science teachers, students have the notion of better leading skills. Second-year male senior high school students have a notion that teachers have better leading skills. Both male, married, professional subjects, and teachers from the National Normal University and first year and senior high school classes have better classesâ management efficiency evaluated by administrations. As far as studentsâ notion of classesâ management efficiency is concerned, male, married, long working experience, and social science teachers have better conditions. Male and second-year senior high school students have better notion of classesâ management efficiency. There is a significant relationship between studentsâ notion of teachersâ leading skills and classesâ management efficiency and the explanation power is 44.1%. But, the explanation power of studentsâ notion of teachersâ leading skills to administrationsâ evaluation of
class characteristics is only 2.6%. Therefore, it is inferred that under the same research subjects, there is an association between teachersâ leading skills and classesâ management efficiency, but it might be over-evaluated.

▼ Since the introduction of the Free Basic Education Policy in 2002, class sizes in most basic schools have continued rising while expansion and construction of more school infrastructure has not increased proportionately, resulting in large class sizes in most basic schools. This increase in classes has raised a country-wide debate about its effects on the teaching-learning process. It is against this background that this study sought to investigate the effects of class size on the teaching- learning process in basic schools.A combination of data collection instruments were used in order to come up with in-depth data which a single approach could not yield. The instruments for data collection used included questionnaires, focus group discussion, interviews, classroom observation check list and document study.The findings from the study were that class size had an effect on the teaching- learning process. These effects were that large classes experienced inadequate teaching-learning resources as well as inadequate classroom furniture. Other challenges teachers face in large classes included failure to complete marking of pupils’ work in time, challenges in the use of individualised teaching-learning methods, less pupil-teacher interaction, indiscipline, challenges in the identification and provision of pupils with learning difficulties, teaching being exhausting and generally the whole process of class management being challenging. On the other hand, teachers teaching smaller classes reported that a smaller number of pupils in their classes enabled them to use learner-centered teaching methods such as project work, field trips, discovery method, group work, debate and many others which promoted critical thinking and retention of learnt materials in learners. The other effects smaller classes had on the teaching-learning process as revealed by both literature and research findings included increased teacher-pupil interactions, knowing pupils’ names easily and quickly, fewer discipline problems, more classroom space for both mobility of teachers and pupils during group activities, pupils having a quick feedback on both the formative and summative tasks given, improved pupil-book ratio and the whole process of teaching and learning being easily manageable.Based on these findings, it was recommended that there should be a limit to the number of pupils each class should have. The number of pupils in class should match with the availability of the teaching-learning resources and should enable the teacher to effectively provide individualised attention to all the pupils in class. However, for these recommendations to become a reality the government must put the following measures in place; recruitment of all teachers immediately after graduation from colleges;construction of more classrooms and schools especially in densely populated areas/compounds; immediate replacement of teachers who are retiring, resigning and dying;continuous supply of teaching-learning materials, equipment and furniture; and doubling the budgetary…

▼ Historically,
class identities were conceptualized as innate to the economic capital accumulated by social groups. In the past decades, social scientists have been questioning this assumption and have been conceptualizing consumption as the realm in which individuals construct and reproduce their identities. Geographers, in particular, have illustrated how identities and spaces are co-constituted through consumption practices. Their accounts, however, neglect the performativity of
class identities. Performativity emphasises the embodied nature of social practice to account for the ways individuals unpredictably and/or unintentionally change the world by living in it. In Brazil, where exclusion has deepened the material, social and cultural differences between socioeconomic groups, the understanding of
class identity as performative is especially valuable because it highlights how social inequality and spatial boundaries are constructed, negotiated and transformed through and in individuals’ everyday practices. This research aims to explore the performativity of
class identities and the performativity of consumption spaces. To do so, this study investigates the performances of 18 higher-income women when they shop in consumption spaces associated with lower-income consumers and in consumption spaces associated with higher-income consumers in São Paulo, Brazil. The performativity of
class identities and of consumption spaces is analysed in the ways higher-income individuals, through their performances, conform to and subvert the higher-income-consumer identity. The main conclusion of this study is that
class identities are a performative enacted and transformed through individuals’ discursive, emotional, social and spatial practices within which individuals construct, negotiate and transform social and spatial boundaries.

▼ In most machine learning algorithms, it is assumed that the training and target environment are the same and that the supervisor (teacher) assigns labels to all training samples. In many real-world datasets, these assumptions are however violated due to a changing environment or imperfect supervision. Many of these situations in the classification scenario can be characterized as a change in class balance. In this thesis, three such problems are considered: classification under class-balance change, labeling of unsupervised datasets differing by class balance and classification from partially labeled data. In this thesis we reformulate these problems in terms of divergences. Analysis of existing methods according to this framework reveals that these methods may be interpreted as indirectly estimating divergences. We propose to directly estimate the divergences leading to efficient solutions to the problems. This approach is empirically validated by experiments on several real-world datasets.

▼ Overview
As an activity that produces wealth, musical production and its effects have largely been neglected by the economics profession. This dissertation seeks contribute to a small but growing literature on the
class="hilite">subject by analyzing musical production through a particular
class analytical lens of political economy.
A first problem that has encountered many within political economy, specifically within its radical variant of Marxism, is how to understand music in relation to the social totality. In the first essay of this work I provide a critical review of the literature that approaches music through the "base-superstructure metaphor", a tool of analysis well known within the Marxian theoretical tradition. In it I show how assigning elements to either one or the other of these spheres and understanding the forces of production in terms of its technical dimension (i.e. technology) limits the analytical possibilities provided by Marx's original insights.
In the second part of this essay I review the ways the concept of
class has been ued to analyze topics related to music within the Marxian tradition. I highlight how the essentialist moments of those particular
class concepts lead to analyzes that obscure and sometimes contradict one of the main purposes Marx's original intent: to show the various guises that exploitation might take in a capitalist society.
In the second essay of the dissertation I theorize musical production with the aid of a
class qua surplus analysis that highlights the process of the production, appropriation, and distribution of surplus labor in relation to the production and dissemination of meaning associated with music as a cultural process. I identify various musical scenes and show the dialectic of aesthetics and musical labor.
In the third and final essay, I compare and contrast two discourses of theft: those of exploitation and of piracy. I focus my attention on the music recording industry and show how the adoption of a discourse of exploitation by musicians that are not exploited and their support in anti-piracy campaigns hamper, marginalize, and contribute to eliminating none-exploitative
class structures. This result is important to the literature that explores how intellectual property poses constraints to economic growth and development in the so-called Third world where most of the pirate production takes place.

▼ The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of
class size reduction (CSR) on student performance while implementing Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The researcher sought to examine test scores specifically in 1st grade classrooms during the 1st year implementation of CCSS. Additionally, the researcher wanted to assist school leaders in identifying ways to motivate teachers to perform at the highest level and focus on student outcomes.
The results indicated that students in the CSR classes had higher scores than the students in the non-CSR classes in some subjects. The findings from this study were consistent with the studies in the literature. There was a difference in the pre-test scores and the post-test scores of the CSR and non-CSR. The post-test scores were higher for the students enrolled in the reduction classes. School leaders should consider reducing
class size and find a balance between CCSS and the Mississippi frameworks. This challenge will require the support and understanding of the entire learning community and other key members of the educational community. School leaders will be primarily
responsible for ensuring this new initiative is put into practice at a high level of rigor to ensure that students are prepared for college and/or a career.

IMMUNE SELECTION IN THE CNS: CONSEQUENCES OF SIV GAG ESCAPE FROM MHC CLASS I-MEDIATED CONTROL.

▼ Immune pressure exerted by host factors including MHC
class I-mediated cytotoxic T cell control affects HIV disease progression and drives the development of viral escape mutations; nonetheless, the relationship between host immunity and HIV central nervous system (CNS) disease remains poorly understood. The simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) macaque model recapitulates key features of HIV infection including development of AIDS and CNS disease. To investigate host factors regulating SIV CNS disease progression, we compared the incidence of SIV encephalitis and the effects of MHC
class I allele expression on the development of CNS disease in pigtailed macaques versus rhesus macaques. Species-specific differences in susceptibility to SIV disease demonstrated that host factors are critical to SIV CNS disease progression. We extended these studies by examining CNS pathogenesis in pigtailed macaques expressing the MHC-I allele Mane-A1*084:01:01, which confers resistance
to SIV-induced CNS disease in pigtailed macaques and induces viral development of prototypic escape (K165R) in the immunodominant SIV Gag KP9 epitope. Insertion of the Gag K165R escape mutation into molecularly cloned SIV/17E-Fr resulted in reduced viral replication compared to wildtype SIV/17E-Fr in vitro. To investigate viral fitness in vivo, we inoculated six Mane-A1*084:01:01 expressing macaques: three with SIV/17E-Fr K165R, and three with wildtype, parental SIV/17E-Fr. We found lower CSF, but not plasma, viral loads in animals inoculated with SIV/17E-Fr K165R versus those inoculated with wildtype, and although the escape mutation K165R was genotypically stable in the plasma, it rapidly reverted to wildtype Gag KP9 in both CSF and in microglia. To induce Gag KP9-specific CTL immune pressure, we vaccinated two Mane-A*084:01:01 expressing pigtailed macaques with Gag KP9 peptide loaded onto a virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine. Both animals developed robust KP9-specific tetramer
responses to vaccination, and upon challenge with SIV/17E-Fr, developed lower viral replication in the CSF but not the plasma. These data clearly demonstrate that viral fitness in the CNS is distinct from the periphery. As therapeutic vaccination strategies to enhance CTL responses against HIV Gag could promote HIV escape, it is vital that we understand the consequences of viral escape on CNS disease.

Social Class and the Emerging Professional Identities of

▼ The purpose of this study was to explore the
influence that social
class identity has on the emerging
professional identities of novice teachers. The study argues that
schooling in the UK is classed in terms of its history, outcomes
and processes, and as a result, situates teaching as a form of
‘
class work’. Given the strong arguments for situating teaching in
this way, this thesis seeks to increase our understanding about the
way
class actually works in relation to teachers’ identities and
the impact this has on their work as teachers. This study was
qualitative and longitudinal in nature and used semi-structured
interviews as the main method of data collection. A group of eleven
novice teachers were followed over a two year period as they both
learnt to become teachers on a postgraduate initial teacher
education programme and then one year later after most had started
teaching in secondary schools. The thesis begins by examining the
complexities of the heightened, emotive and fiercely debated issue
of
class and draws strongly on understandings that locate
class in
contemporary Britain as being about culture as well as social
structures. It recognises that whilst the emerging professional
identities of teachers are heavily shaped by life experiences prior
to becoming a teacher, new and varied teaching experiences have the
capacity to impact on the way teachers see themselves and their
understandings of their work in schools. Using data rich stories of
six of the novice teachers to exemplify the wider sample, this
thesis illustrates the ways in which classed identity shapes novice
teachers’ early understandings of schooling and becoming a teacher.
It demonstrates that
class really does matter for novice teachers
but that it plays out in complex and sometimes contradictory ways.
In particular, the thesis draws on the notion of social
class
boundaries and the way in which teaching often involves the
crossing of these. The crossing of
class boundaries is identified
as being a central feature of the novice teacher experience. It is
argued that
class boundary crossing creates tensions for novice
teachers not least because their own
class identities are called
into question and troubled by this process. One feature of this
process is that many novice teachers recognise teaching as ‘
class
work’ and additionally understand that the cultural capital they
bring to this context may not be equally valued in all educational
settings. This can result in a
class identity acting in restrictive
and constraining ways. Whilst some novice teachers are bound by
their
class identities, others are able to play strategically with
their
class minimising the disadvantages of a perceived lack of
appropriate cultural capital. This study suggests that the ability
to know how and when to strategise is itself classed, a coping
mechanism employed by middle rather than working
class novice
teachers. The study concludes by examining the implications of
these findings for novice teachers and their preparation for work
in schools. It argues that the…

▼ There are several strains of Enterococcus mundtii that produce a
class IIa bacteriocin, mundticin, along with a cognitive immunity protein and ABC transporter. However, E. mundtii CUGF08 and ATO6 are not immune to their own bacteriocin production, like the other bacteriocinogenic strains. Since it was found that the presence of proteinase K inactivated the self-lethality phenotype, peptides produced by E. mundtii CUGF08 were isolated from its supernatant though chromatography (solid-phase extraction, cation-exchange, and RP-HPLC). The intact mass of one causative agent was 6 kDa and its trypsin-digested fragment sequence was determined to be AIGIIGNNSAANLATGGAAGWK. The fragment is 100% identical to the C-terminal sequence of mundticin L, but the intact mass corresponds more closely to the precursor peptide. Conversely, SDS-PAGE analysis displayed only a 4-kDa peptide from the supernatant that showed activity to E. mundtii CUGF08. After Edman degradation was performed on the band, the N-terminal sequence was found to be KYYGNGLSXNKKGXSVDX(G)(K)A(I)(G)(I), which matches with mundticin L. Since there are several strains that react differently to mundticin homologs, the genomes of four mundticin producers and one non-mundticin producer were compared in order to identify potential genes involved with mundticin immunity or target specificity. The two aforementioned strains, along with non-producer strain E. mundtii ATCC 882, are sensitive to mundticin,. Two producers in literature, E. mundtii QU 25 and CRL35, were reported to be immune to their purified mundticin, There are 28 genes unique to the immune strains and 3 genes unique to the sensitive strains. Many of those found in the immune strains are phage proteins. One unique gene from the immune strains may be a secreted protein or a lipoprotein, which could be involved with the additional immunity. One unique gene from both sensitive strains shows homology to a transmembrane protein, which may be an additional cell membrane receptor for mundticin. Further work with complementation studies with those genes may determine additional, uncharacterized mechanisms of immunity and action, especially since many of those mechanisms are poorly understood for
class IIa bacteriocins.

▼ The middle
class has become increasingly vulnerable over the last 30 years for a number of reasons, which in part has compromised their capability to hold on to the American Dream. Still, we know very little about what proportion of the middle
class is vulnerable at any given particular time and we know even less about why or even if these proportions fluctuate over time. Utilizing household and family data from the (PSID), my thesis uses survival analysis to assess the odds of experiencing
class-vulnerability and/or
class-security among the American middle
class. My results indicate that through major stages of adulthood, over 90 percent of individuals in the middle
class will experience either economic event. Results also indicate that the risk of experiencing either economic event is dramatically stratified by race and education. While income may purchase a ticket into the middle
class, this research shows that the lack of economic assets or net worth is leaving the American middle
class very vulnerable to economic shocks.
