    This research provides an analysis of the mathematical growth and development of one student, Stephanie, as she worked on early algebra tasks during her eighth-grade year as part of a teaching experiment. Stephanie was among the original participants in a longitudinal study which investigated how students develop mathematical ideas under conditions that fostered independent exploration, reasoning, and justification of ideas (Maher, 2005). A qualitative approach based on the analytical model described by Powell, Francisco, and Maher (2003), was taken in analyzing videotape data from the Robert B. Davis Institute of Learning archive, along with student work. Seven task-based interview sessions were analyzed, spanning a six month period, beginning from November 8, 1995 to April 17, 1996. The research focused on Stephanie’s algebraic reasoning; in particular, how she built an understanding of the binomial theorem and related it to Pascal’s triangle. Stephanie’s representations, her explanations and justifications, and her methods of dealing with obstacles to understanding, were all examined and provided the basis for this research. The analysis shows that Stephanie built her mathematical understanding through the development of multiple representations of concepts and moved fluidly between and among the representations that she organized into ‘symbolic’ and ‘visual’ representations. Symbolic representations included algebraic expressions, combinatorics notation, and Pascal’s triangle while visual representations included drawings, tables, models formed by algebra blocks and other manipulatives, and towers built with unifix cubes. Furthermore, through Stephanie’s explanations and justification of her representations and reasoning in general, she invented strategies to convince herself as well as the researchers that she had fulfilled the requirements of the problem task. When dealing with obstacles to her understanding such as lack of information, or calculating obstacles, Stephanie acquired the use of several heuristic methods in order to overcome them. These included the use of substituting in numbers in order to test a conjecture; returning to basic meaning; drawing diagrams; building models; and considering a simpler problem. Throughout the task-based interviews, Stephanie retrieved knowledge from her earlier problem solving and extended this knowledge to build new ideas, while tackling more challenging problems. In particular, Stephanie mapped the coefficients in the binomial expansion to particular rows in Pascal’s Triangle; she connected these ideas to her problem solving from earlier work in the elementary grades. The findings are relevant to the timing and method of early algebraic instruction in schools.Ed.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Eman Y. Aboelnag

    Inkjet printing of ZIF-67 based-polymer composite membranes

    No full text
    Inkjet printing (IJP) has been adopted to fabricate zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) on commercial membranes. ZIFs, the subclass of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), are achieving significant progress in applications such as adsorption, gas sensors, gas separation, drug delivery, and more due to their tunable porosity and high surface area. Employing IJP allows the fabrication of ZIF/MOF layers of desired geometry and thickness on porous substrates to address the limitations of traditional manufacturing techniques related to processability and mechanical strength. In this study, we report on in-situ inkjet printing of ZIF-67 on a commercial nylon membrane. The formation of ZIF-67 layers was confirmed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The performance of the inkjet-printed ZIF-67/nylon membranes was evaluated using organic dye (methylene blue) separation from water. The optimal number of printed layers for effective dye removal was investigated, and their consistency and repeatability were confirmed. The dye concentration, pH, and ZIF-67 dosage were studied to determine the optimal parameters for efficient dye removal. The printed membranes showed improved dye removal compared to the unmodified nylon, achieving 100 % removal at optimal conditions (200 printed layers, 5 ppm dye concentration, 0.32 mg/ml ZIF-67, pH 10.3). Crystals detachment was observed starting from 5th regeneration cycle that should be addressed using various printing pattern or substrate type. The work demonstrates IJP technology, an additive manufacturing approach that can be employed in the fabrication of ZIF/MOFs on commercial substrates for various applications

    Aquest estudi investiga el paper de les xarxes socials en la promoció del turisme a Egipte examinant el tema des de la perspectiva dels turistes internacionals i nacionals (el costat de la demanda) i des de la perspectiva dels proveïdors de turisme egipci (el costat de l'oferta). L'estudi aplica un enfocament de mètodes mixts per respondre les preguntes de recerca i assolir els objectius de l'estudi. Es va enviar un qüestionari a 213 turistes internacionals i 200 turistes egipcis. L'objectiu és identificar les opinions dels turistes internacionals i egipcis sobre els beneficis de l'ús de les xarxes socials i les seves opinions sobre les plataformes de xarxes socials egípcies relacionades amb el turisme. El paquet SPSS es va utilitzar per analitzar estadísticament dades quantitatives. A més, es van fer entrevistes en profunditat amb quinze de les companyies de viatges més grans d'Egipte, en representació de proveïdors privats, i amb el cap de campanyes internacionals i director general de planificació de l'Autoritat de Turisme d'Egipte en representació de proveïdors públics. Les dades qualitatives obtingudes dels proveïdors turístics es van analitzar mitjançant l'anàlisi temàtica. Es va realitzar una anàlisi de contingut de cinc empreses seleccionades de la mostra qualitativa anterior, els resultats mostren que les empreses de viatges a Egipte no van fer ús dels avantatges de les xarxes socials. El principal obstacle van ser les falses empreses que prenen la seva quota de mercat i arruïnen la reputació d'Egipte. Pel que fa a l'Autoritat de Turisme egípcia, no tenien una estratègia en línia el 2019. La situació va millorar el 2020 i el 2021 la seva estratègia de marca en línia estava en vigor. Des de la perspectiva dels turistes (nacionals i internacionals), tant els turistes nacionals com internacionals volen aturar els productes falsos, tenir transparència i fer llistes de preus de serveis i atraccions, promocionar Egipte de maneres innovadores com la promoció de la cultura i el menjar local i compartir. experiències reals de persones. L'estudi acaba proposant algunes recomanacions que poden millorar l'ús del sector públic i privat en l'àmbit de la promoció turística. Les empreses turístiques egípcies haurien de fer esforços per animar els seus clients (nacionals o internacionals) a publicar continguts i comentaris generats pels usuaris sobre els seus viatges a Egipte i això pot ser mitjançant la possibilitat que els turistes comparteixin els seus viatges a les pestanyes de comunitats i grups que puguin conduir a millorar les converses i el compromís ja que els clients a l'era digital són els principals promotors de les seves marques. Han de tenir una estratègia clara a l'hora de promocionar els seus productes i no confiar només en publicacions d'anuncis que consisteixen en detalls de viatges, no es tracta només de vendre, les xarxes socials es refereixen a establir relacions, converses i compromís. Utilitzeu totes les pestanyes de Facebook de manera eficaç, estigueu presents en esdeveniments en directe i publiqueu més publicacions d'entreteniment i renumeració com concursos, ofertes i descomptes. Formar els seus empleats perquè tinguin un personal hàbil capaç d'afrontar la tecnologia i la competència. No confieu només en Facebook per comercialitzar els seus productes per no perdre les oportunitats i capacitats d'altres plataformes com Instagram i TikTok. Pel que fa a l'Autoritat de Turisme egípcia, han anat millorant després de la pandèmia a mesura que augmentava la dependència de les xarxes socials i establint una estratègia per marcar cada governació d'Egipte. Però haurien de fer més esforços, per exemple, mitjançant competicions, concursos, fent un calendari que mostri esdeveniments en directe i utilitzant totes les pestanyes de Facebook.Este estudio investiga el papel de las redes sociales en la promoción del turismo en Egipto examinando el tema desde la perspectiva de los turistas internacionales y nacionales (el lado de la demanda) y desde la perspectiva de los proveedores de turismo egipcio (el lado del oferta).

Se envió un cuestionario a 213 turistas internacionales y 200 turistas egipcios. Su objetivo es identificar las opiniones de los turistas internacionales y egipcios sobre los beneficios del uso de las redes sociales y sus opiniones sobre las plataformas de redes sociales egipcias relacionadas con el turismo. El paquete SPSS se utilizó para analizar estadísticamente datos cuantitativos. Además, se realizaron entrevistas en profundidad con quince de las mayores compañías de viajes de Egipto, en representación de proveedores privados, y con el jefe de campañas internacionales y director general de planificación de la Autoridad de Turismo de Egipto en representación de proveedores públicos. Los datos cualitativos obtenidos de los proveedores turísticos se analizaron mediante el análisis temático. Se realizó un análisis de contenido de cinco empresas seleccionadas de la muestra cualitativa anterior, cuyos resultados muestran que las empresas de viajes a Egipto no hicieron uso de las ventajas de las redes sociales. El principal obstáculo fueron las falsas empresas que toman su cuota de mercado y arruinan la reputación de Egipto.

Formar a sus empleados para que tengan un personal hábil capaz de afrontar la tecnología y la competencia. No confíe sólo en Facebook para comercializar sus productos para no perder las oportunidades y capacidades de otras plataformas como Instagram y TikTok. Por lo que respecta a la Autoridad de Turismo egipcia, han ido mejorando después de la pandemia a medida que aumentaba la dependencia de las redes sociales y estableciendo una estrategia para marcar cada gobernación de Egipto. Pero deberían realizar más esfuerzos, por ejemplo, mediante competiciones, concursos, haciendo un calendario que muestre eventos en directo y utilizando todas las pestañas de Facebook.This study investigates the role of social media in promoting tourism in Egypt by examining the topic from the perspective of international and domestic tourists (the demand side) and from the perspective of Egyptian tourism providers (the supply side). The study applies a mixed methods approach to answer the research questions and reach the study objectives. A questionnaire was sent to 213 international tourists and 200 Egyptian tourists. This aims to identify the views of international and Egyptians tourists about the benefits of using the social media and their opinions about Egyptian social media platforms related to tourism. SPSS package was used to statistically analyse quantitative data. Furthermore, in depth interviews were done with fifteen of the largest travel companies in Egypt, representing private suppliers and with the head of international campaigns and general manager of planning in Egyptian Tourism Authority representing public suppliers. Qualitative data obtained from tourism providers were analysed using thematic analysis. A content analysis of five companies selected from the previous qualitative sample was conducted, the findings show that travel companies in Egypt did not make use of the benefits of social media. The main obstacle was the fake companies that take their market share and ruin the reputation of Egypt. Concerning Egyptian Tourism Authority, they did not have an online strategy in 2019. The situation improved in 2020 and in 2021 their online branding strategy was in effect. From the perspective of tourists (domestic and international), both domestic and international tourists want to stop fake products, to have transparency and to make price lists of services and attractions, to promote Egypt in innovative ways such as promoting culture and local food and sharing real people experiences. The study ends by proposing some recommendations that can improve the usage of public and private sector in the field of tourism promotion. Egyptian tourism companies should make efforts to encourage their customers (domestic or international) to post user generated contents and reviews about their trips to Egypt and that can be through allowing tourists to share their trips in communities and groups tabs that can lead to improve conversations and engagement as customers in digital era are the main promotors of their brands. They should have a clear strategy when promoting their products and don't rely only on ads posts that consist of trips details, it is not about selling only, social media is about making relationships, conversations, and engagement. Utilizing all Facebook tabs effectively, be present in live events, and post more entertainment and renumeration posts like contests, offers and discounts. Training their employees to have a skilful staff capable to cope with technology and competition. Don't rely only on Facebook for marketing their products to not miss the opportunities and capabilities of other platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Regarding Egyptian Tourism Authority, they have been improving after pandemic as the reliance on social media increased and setting a strategy to brand every governorate in Egypt. But they should make more efforts for example through competition, contests, making a calendar showing live events and by utilizing all Facebook tabs. They have also to brand Egypt in more innovative way, for example food tourism has become a new kind of tourism because of the continuous shift in tourists needs adding on that the strength of competition between destinations. In consequences, it is recommended to include local dishes when promoting Egypt through social media, The government should have a supervisory role over fake companies that exist in social media environment. Finally, this can be accomplished by active collaboration among all Egypt stakeholders.Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Programa de Doctorat en Comunicació i Periodism

    Acute Exercise-Induced Modulation of NOD-like Receptors (NLRs) Expression in Skeletal Muscle

    No full text
    Nod-like receptors (NLRs) are part of the innate immune system, but they are also found in many other cell types, and their role in skeletal muscle remains largely underexplored. To address this, we developed a reproducible treadmill-based acute exercise model in mice, conducted at Zeitgeber Time 16 (ZT16) to align with their active nocturnal phase. Muscle samples were collected from the gastrocnemius at 4-, 8-, and 24-hours post-exercise to capture immediate and delayed gene expression responses. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of NLRs in muscle function by assessing how acute exercise affects the expression of NOD1 and NOD2 in skeletal muscle and comparing their expression between males and females. Gene expression analysis using qPCR confirmed that the early response gene NR4A3 was significantly upregulated at 4 hours in both male and female mice, indicating successful activation of exercise-responsive pathways. NOD2 expression was significantly elevated at 8 hours post-exercise in males only, suggesting a sex-specific activation possibly linked to cellular stress and the release of DAMPs following muscle damage. The downstream signalling molecule RIPK2, which is activated by NOD2, was also upregulated in males at 24 hours, further supporting this pathway's involvement. In contrast, NOD1 expression remained unchanged in both sexes. These results suggest that acute exercise triggers sex-specific molecular responses in skeletal muscle, particularly involving NOD2 signalling pathways. The study highlights the importance of considering biological sex in experiments investigating immune and exercise-related gene expression in skeletal muscle tissue.MSc/MABiolog
