The Confidence Level of the Preservice Teachers: Basis for a Capability Enhancement Program
No full textThis study delves into an in-depth assessment of an educator\u27s English proficiency, focusing on confidence level and psychological capacity. The preservice teachers exhibit confidence by meticulously evaluating various teaching dimensions, including lesson planning, student engagement, and technology integration. The general weighted mean across these dimensions is 3.73, indicating a high confidence level. Additionally, the preservice teachers demonstrate a robust psychological capacity, encompassing emotional intelligence and cultural competence, significantly contributing to creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment. The general weighted mean for psychological capacity is 3.83, signifying agreement. The findings underscore a substantial positive correlation between confidence level and psychological capacity, highlighting the symbiotic relationship between these factors in effective teaching. Despite the preservice teachers’ strengths, areas for improvement emerge, particularly in supporting students\u27 emotional well-being and managing classroom behavior. These areas signal opportunities for targeted professional development interventions. Proposed capability enhancement seminars aim to refine instructional strategies, bolster emotional intelligence and cultural competence, and foster reflective practice and professional growth. By honing these skills, educators can better meet the diverse needs of their students and promote positive learning outcomes. This study emphasizes the importance of continuous professional development and self-reflection in enhancing teaching effectiveness. By addressing areas for improvement and leveraging strengths, educators can cultivate a dynamic and enriching learning environment conducive to student success in the English classroom. Recommendations for further action include implementing professional development workshops, mentorship programs, peer collaboration opportunities, cultural competence training, self-reflection practices, and utilization of support services. These initiatives can support educators in their journey toward continuous growth and excellence in teaching

The manuscripts of the works of Gerald of Wales
No full textMy dissertation is a palaeographical study of the manuscripts of the works of Gerald of Wales (c. 1146-1223). Gerald was a churchman, a member of the court of King Henry II and a prolific author. His extensive works include historical and topographical descriptions of Ireland and Wales, theological and hagiographical studies, and several autobiographical works. Throughout his career he constantly revised these works. A hundred manuscripts containing works of Gerald survive today, and the progress of his revision of his works may be observed from the manuscript-record. I therefore devote some space to the textual history of Gerald's works in the manuscripts; however, the emphasis is on the manuscripts and therefore on what the textual history can show about them, not on the texts themselves. There is an unusually large number of manuscripts (about 20%) surviving from Gerald's lifetime, including some which are decorated and illustrated and at least one which has been described as a 'working copy'. I have studied these manuscripts closely, concentrating on finding similarities between them - particularly the appearance of the same hand in different manuscripts - which may point to a common place of production, possibly 'Gerald's scriptorium'. I have also considered the manuscript evidence for Gerald's publishing processes and the possibility of finding Gerald's autograph. I have then considered the manuscripts surviving from after Gerald's death and what they can show about the continuing tradition of his works, for example: who read them, and which were most popular; the geographical spread of the manuscript-evidence; whether different works were popular at different times, and why; the treatment of the works by later scholars, for example translation, abbreviation and excerpting. This includes evidence which I have discovered for the existence of now lost manuscripts. Finally, I have compared the manuscript-tradition of Gerald's works with that of some other twelfth-century Insular writers whose works survive in various authorial editions and/or in autograph or quasi-autograph copies.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo

Occupied City: New Orleans Under the Federals 1862–1865
No full textNew Orleans is the largest American city ever occupied by enemy forces for an extended period of time. Falling to an amphibious Federal force in the spring of 1862, the city was threatened with the possibility of Confederate recapture even as late as 1864. How this tension affected the lives of both civilians and soldiers during the occupation is here examined.
Gerald M. Capers finds that the occupation policies of General Benjamin F. Butler and General Nathaniel P. Banks were successful and that Butler’s harsh policies were by no means as vicious as legend would have it. Banks at first reversed Butler’s harsh policies, but was gradually compelled to become less lenient. Banks did succeed in establishing a civil government under Lincoln’s orders, but Congress refused to recognize the civil government and imposed a reconstruction government at war’s end.
Life for the average resident of New Orleans, Capers states, was much better during the occupation than it was for Southerners in areas still in Confederate control. Relative economic decline had begun in the 1850’s but New Orleans even enjoyed a war boom during the last two years. And although America’s only brief experience as an occupation force at the time had been in Vera Cruz during 1846, Butler and Banks performed their duties well.
Gerald M. Capers, head of the Department of History at Newcomb College, Tulane University, is the author of several books, among them Stephen A. Douglas: Defender of the Union.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_united_states_history/1052/thumbnail.jp
Meiacanthus (Meiacanthus) geminatus Smith-Vaniz
No full textMeiacanthus (Meiacanthus) geminatus Smith-Vaniz The cardinal fish Chileodipterus zonatus Smith and Radcliffe is a remarkably similar appearing mimic of this species (Smith-Vaniz et al. 2001). The same color photograph of Meiacanthus vittatus given in Allen et al. (2003: 339) is here reproduced as Fig. 8. An excellent color photograph of this species also appears in Eichler and Myers (1997: 373). Two additional specimens of M. geminatus are available from Sabah, and agree well with Smith- Vaniz's (1987) expanded description of the species: WAM P. 30403 -006 (47.0 mm SL, female) and WAM P. 30409 - 0 0 4 (44.9 mm SL, male). The second author also observed this distinctive species at two additional locations at northeastern Kalimantan, Indonesia (2 ° 20.804 'N, 118 ° 11.031 'E and 1 ° 32.378 'N, 118 ° 23.443 'E) during a survey in 2003.Published as part of Smith-Vaniz, William F. & Allen, Gerald R., 2011, Three new species of the fangblenny genus Meiacanthus from Indonesia, with color photographs and comments on other species (Teleostei: Blenniidae: Nemophini), pp. 39-58 in Zootaxa 3046 on page 45, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27887

Qualitative reasoning about fluids and mechanics
No full textUnderstanding people's commonsense knowledge about physical world is a fundamental problem in building intelligent systems. If this knowledge can be represented and used by computers, they can duplicate people's ability to understand and interact with the world. Qualitative physics is the attempt to capture and formalize this knowledge. An important aspect of qualitative reasoning is the ability to derive the possible behaviors of a given physical system from the structure of the system, using minimal initial information.This thesis investigates qualitative domain theories and reasoning techniques which will enable computers to analyze the qualitative behaviors of physical systems which include both mechanical mechanisms and fluids, such as internal combustion engines and hydraulic lift pumps. We have developed a domain theory which integrates richer models of mechanics, fluids, and geometry than previous research in qualitative physics. These theories and inference techniques are embodied in QSA, a program that produces possible behaviors of physical systems.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:18:18Z (GMT).
