Item Open Access Building Confidence, Performative Habits, and Audience Awareness through a Graduate-level Academic Oral Communication Course(2022) Davies, Joseph; Carter, Tyler; Campbell, Maxi-AnnItem Open Access Understanding and Crossing Disciplinary Boundaries: Pedagogical Insights from an Interdisciplinary Graduate-Level EAP Course Sequence(2023-01-01) Davies, JAOver the past 30 years, the popularity of interdisciplinary approaches to academic study has grown. At the same time, there is a growing consensus that English for academic purposes (EAP) courses should move away from teaching ‘general’ study skills and instead teach discipline-specific academic literacies. For instructors of graduate-level EAP courses, these seemingly contradictory trends can pose challenges for curriculum design and instruction. This chapter presents an interdisciplinary pedagogical model for a two-course EAP sequence taught at a newly formed Sino-foreign joint venture university. While both EAP courses are designed to help students develop interdisciplinary awareness, they do so in different ways depending on whether the focus is on academic oral or written communication skills. Faculty and student feedback on the course sequence is discussed, leading to several recommendations that could be easily adapted in other teaching contexts and for other student populations.Item Open Access Building Confidence, Performative Habits, and Interdisciplinary Audience Awareness Through Presentations in a Graduate-Level Academic Oral Communication Course(2022-01-01) Davies, JA; Carter, TJ; Campbell, MAItem Open Access Rethinking orientation: Innovation and collaboration in a language and culture camp at a Sino-US university.(2022-01-01) Chiocca, Emmanuelle; Davies, joseph; Davies, laura; Hiller, kristin; Naghib, Saghar; Sprague, Kevin; Zhang, xinThe past few decades have seen a dramatic increase in the internationalization of higher education institutions, from study abroad programs to increasing internationalization efforts at home (Institute of International Education, 2019; Ogden & Brewer, 2019). Many internationalized higher education institutions aim to develop intercultural competence and L2 proficiency, particularly in study abroad programs. Both are often assumed to be natural outcomes for students in these contexts. However, research suggests that simply spending time in another country, studying at an institution with a diverse student body, or even experiencing intercultural encounters are insufficient (Gurin, Day, Hurtado, & Gurin, 2002; Otten, 2003). Most students require explicit instruction and mentorship to develop these valued competencies (Brewer & Moore, 2015; Jackson, 2017, 2018a; Paige & Vande Berg, 2012). This chapter reports on an intervention during first-year student orientation at Duke Kunshan University (DKU), a newly established Sino–U.S. university in China. The primary goal of this orientation was to employ group activities that would foster connections among all incoming students, while delivering targeted instruction in language learning and academic skills.Item Open Access Developing learning-focused feedback practices: An evaluation of English for Academic Purposes teacher feedback literacy at a Sino-foreign university(2024-09-01) Davies, JosephThis chapter explores the feedback literacy of Higher Education (HE) English for Academic Purposes (EAP) teachers based at a Sino-foreign joint venture university. Specifically, the chapter aims to: • Critically review the suitability of current teacher feedback literacy research for those teaching Confucian Heritage Culture learners within Sino-foreign HE contexts • Analyse a small corpus of interviews with Sino-foreign HE EAP practitioners about their feedback beliefs, design, and practices • Map the results to a newly developed Sino-foreign teacher feedback literacy framework • Discuss the implications of the results for HE EAP teachers wishing to develop their own teacher feedback literacyItem Open Access Understanding and Crossing Disciplinary Boundaries(2023-01-31) Davies, Joseph ArthurItem Open Access Царство преображения священная пародия и царская харизма при дворе Петра Великого(2008) Зицер, ЭрнестItem Open Access O diagrama antropofágico: configurações heterocrônicas do modernismo brasileiroMartins da Silva, Gabriel; Sanches Duarte, MateusNesta resenha, analisaremos o livro Saudades do mundo: Notícias da Antropofagia (Todavia, 2022), de Eduardo Sterzi. A obra, que reúne ensaios produzidos ao longo de uma década, mergulha na formulação oswaldiana de antropofagia. Em um momento marcado pelo centenário da Semana de Arte Moderna de 1922, Sterzi destaca-se por sua capacidade de conexão entre Oswald de Andrade e uma gama diversificada de pensadores, desde Mário de Andrade e Raul Bopp até Guimarães Rosa, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro e Sousândrade. Dessa forma, o autor apresenta a antropofagia oswaldiana não apenas como parte de um contexto específico na história intelectual brasileira, mas como um conceito decisivo e extemporâneo para pensarmos o presente.Item Open Access Archaeologies of the ghost, by Serge Margel(Um teatro de espectros sem nome: Arqueologias do fantasma, de Serge Margel) Sanches Duarte, Mateus; Martins da Silva, GabrielThis review discusses Serge Margel's book, Arqueologias do fantasma: técnica, cinema, etnografia, arquivo(2017). The book is the result of seven conferences held in Brazil between 2015 and 2016 and offers a deep reflection on the transition from the 'society of the spectacle' to the 'spectral society.' It is organized into three sections that explore the ghostification of social relations, where subjects are reduced to mere objects of a discourse devoid of subjectivity. In this context, Margel's work provides a significant analysis of the role of critical theory in a social context marked by ghostification.Item Open Access The Policing Machine Enforcement, Endorsements, and the Illusion of Public Input(2024) Cheng, TonyIn The Policing Machine, Tony Cheng reveals the stages of that resistance, offering a close look at the deep engagement strategies that NYPD precincts have developed with only subsets of the community in order to counter any truly ...Item Open Access Buddhism and Scepticism Historical, Philosophical, and Comparative Perspectives(2020-09-30) Hanner, OrenQuestions such as these as well as related issues are explored in this collection, which brings together examinations of systematic doubt in the traditions of Buddhism from a variety of perspectives.Item Open Access Enhancing in vivo preclinical studies with VivoVist™ and photon-counting micro-CT imaging(Medical Imaging 2024: Clinical and Biomedical Imaging, 2024-04-02) Badea, Cristian T; Rickard, Ashlyn; Allphin, Alex; Clark, Darin P; Ghaghada, Ketan B; Ridwan, S; Smilowitz, Henry M; Hainfeld, James; Mowery, Yvonne MItem Open Access Photon counting micro-CT imaging of Bi2WO6 nanoparticles(Medical Imaging 2024: Clinical and Biomedical Imaging, 2024-04-02) Badea, Cristian T; Bhavane, Rohan; Allphin, Alex; Nadkarni, Rohan; Clark, Darin P; Annapragada, Ananth; Ghaghada, KetanItem Open Access Social annotation: Promising technologies and practices in writing(2023-09-14) Hodgson, J; Kalir, J; Andrews, CDThe act of annotation is intimately associated with reading, thinking, writing, and learning. From book marginalia to online commentary, this centuries-old practice has flourished in contemporary educational contexts thanks to recent advances in digital technologies. New computational affordances, social media platforms, and digital networks have changed how readers-as writers-participate in acts of annotation. Of particular interest is social annotation (SA), a type of learning technology that enables the addition of notes to digital and multimodal texts for the purposes of information sharing, peer interaction, knowledge construction, and collaborative meaning-making. This chapter reviews prominent SA technologies, functional specifications, key products, and insights from research, with particular attention to the use of SA in writing studies and composition. The chapter concludes by discussing implications for writing studies and suggests SA technologies can make a critical impact on student reading and writing practices.Item Open Access Louise Meintjes Ululation(2019) Meintjes, LouiseItem Open Access The Recording Studio as Fetish(2017) Meintjes, LouiseItem Open Access 2024 Advanced Scientific Computing Advisory Committee (ASCR) Facilities Subcommittee Recommendations(2024-05-01) Seidel, Ed; Randles, Amanda; Arthur, Rick; Bergman, Keren; Carlson, Bill; Deelman, Ewa; Grout, Ray; Hendrickson, Bruce; Reed, DanItem Open Access Preclinical and Early Osteoarthritis(2023) Kraus, VirginiaThe term early osteoarthritis (OA) is often used to refer to mild or moderately severe radiographic OA. More recently, the term early OA has been used to refer to preradiographic or even earlier phases of disease. Diagnosis of OA in its early preradiographic stages could improve the likelihood of disease modification and thereby reduce medical costs, morbidity, and disability. The advent of sensitive imaging techniques has provided concrete evidence for joint structural abnormalities predating the quintessential radiographic changes we associate with OA. However, conventional OA risk factors function poorly for detection of preclinical and early OA. Therefore, it is currently difficult to define asymptomatic early stage (preclinical) OA in the absence of imaging abnormalities. Because not all radiographic OA progresses to a severe grade of disease or results in joint replacement, by inference, likely not all preclinical or preradiographic OA is expected to progress to early OA and more advanced stages of disease. The trajectory from preclinical to preradiographic to radiographic OA is influenced by the robustness of the endogenous cartilage repair responses, that vary by joint site, and genetic polymorphisms of growth factors implicated in OA susceptibility. The paradigm of joint tissue and biomarker alterations after joint injury is expected to provide a scenario for developing diagnostic algorithms for the early detection of idiopathic OA.Item Open Access Beyond FERC Order 2023: Considerations on Deep Interconnection Reform(2023-08-23) Norris, TylerIn late July 2023, the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission released its much-anticipated rule on interconnection reform, Order 2023. This policy brief explores a deeper reform option known as connect and manage. This less restrictive interconnection approach could speed the deployment of resources in a way that can be managed after their integration with the grid, leading to a larger volume of interconnected generation capacity without sacrificing reliability. The brief summarizes connect and manage in relationship to existing interconnection procedures and reviews foundational issues with current processes not addressed by Order 2023; identifies opportunities to improve energy-only interconnection procedures and potential solutions to manage attendant complications with curtailment risk and hybrid resources; and discusses linkages of interconnection, transmission planning, and competitive procurement in alignment with a connect and manage approach, particularly in jurisdictions not governed by independent system operator/regional transmission organizations (ISO/RTOs).Item Open Access
