Are Devaney hairs fast escaping?
No full textBeginning with Devaney, several authors have studied transcendental entire functions for which every point in the escaping set can be connected to infinity by a curve in the escaping set. Such curves are often called Devaney hairs. We show that, in many cases, every point in such a curve, apart from possibly a finite endpoint of the curve, belongs to the fast escaping set. We also give an example of a Devaney hair which lies in a logarithmic tract of a transcendental entire function and contains no fast escaping points

Chapter interlude V: considering gender, equality, diversity, and inclusion in teaching composing
No full textWomen composers as well as composers of color are marginalized in the Western classical canon, which dominates concert programs as well as school music books. The interlude describes existing inequalities. Further, it shows how these inequalities were reproduced, e.g., showing how students get access to composing experience, to possibilities to expand it, and to its preconditions like expensive instrumental lessons. Further, it shows ways to change the state of the art. The importance of diverse role models in the music classroom is discussed as well as the reflection of own practices of doing difference to change the narrative
Devaney chaos and distributional chaos in the solution of certain partial differential equations
No full textThe notion of distributional chaos has been recently added to the study of the linear dynamics of operators and C0-semigroups of operators. We will study this notion of chaos for some examples of C0-semigroups that are already known to be Devaney chaotic. © 2012 Xavier Barrachina and J.

Teaching and assessing composing in English secondary schools: an investigation into music teacher confidence
No full textComposing has been an important and statutory part of English classroom music education for over 30 years. The landmark introduction of composing into the National Curriculum ensured all young people experienced composing until the age of 14. Although the advancement was viewed positively, classroom composing was not always met with enthusiasm with many music teachers feeling they lacked necessary skills, confidence, and composing experience to be able to teach it. After the age of 14, students can opt to study music to gain qualifications such as a General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE), or A level. Composing is a significant and assessed part of these qualifications alongside listening and performing examinations. Given that composing has become a regular part of classroom music teaching, there is still very little research into composing teaching and learning. This chapter will explore secondary classroom music teachers’ experiences of, and confidence in, teaching and assessing composing, with key debates based upon the findings of an exploratory study involving case study and survey research methods. The chapter proposes that music teachers are less concerned about their own lack of composing experience, ergo their ability to teach composing, but instead have low confidence due to current assessment procedures that they deeming as being unpredictable, unreliable, subjective, and potentially biased toward western classical musical norms
Evaluating group-based programmes for individuals who use violence and abuse in their intimate relationships
No full textThis chapter will explore what we have learnt about working with those who use violence and abuse against their current or former intimate partner, with a particular focus on group-based programmes, and their evaluation. Drawing upon current evidence about the effectiveness of such programmes, the chapter will explore the underpinning research methods and how our understanding of whether group-based programmes are effective is inextricably linked to the design of studies and the methodological choices made. These are framed, in turn, by our broader understanding of what causes and sustains such behaviour. While the evidence to date questions whether group-based programmes are effective, this may be as much about the quality of research to date. There is some evidence that programmes do work for some individuals in some circumstances, but programmes are often attempting to work with too broad a range of characteristics and needs, including those who are mandated to attend by the criminal justice system alongside those who are voluntarily seeking help. Additionally, we need to better understand the role of group facilitators versus programme content in bringing about change. The chapter concludes by highlighting areas for consideration in future research studies
Chapter interlude I: what is composing?
No full textThis interlude looks at the many aspects and questions that arise when defining “composing” in music education. It also uncovers hidden influences in historical and cultural baggage coming from the central discourses and definitions of composing in Western music history. Finally, it shows how the meaning of the word “composing” has undergone change around the world – from being viewed as an elitist act to something that is more inclusive and can be undertaken by all young people
