Investigating the perceptions of self‐efficacy of in‐field and out‐of‐field home economics teachers
Abstract Out‐of‐field teaching is a strategy employed to address global teacher shortages. This study compares Australian in‐field and out‐of‐field teacher effectiveness perceptions when teaching home economics. An online survey (N = 194) identified statistically significant findings that negatively impact the subject, teachers, and students: in‐field ...

Respiratory Ill‐Health and Welding Exposures: A Canadian Cohort Study
ABSTRACT Introduction Respiratory ill‐health in welders is well documented but without a clear indication of exposures responsible. Methods In a Canadian cohort study of welders and electrical workers, we collected self‐reports of asthma/wheeze and rhinitis at each 6‐monthly contact for up to 5 years.

Do makerspaces affect entrepreneurship? If so, who, how, and when?
Abstract Research Summary Makerspaces are physical spaces that offer individuals fabrication tools and materials (e.g., 3D printers) to make artifacts. Although not designed specifically for entrepreneurs, these spaces offer affordable access to rapid prototyping infrastructure. This study examines whether makerspaces affect entrepreneurship and, if so,

Physics and measurements of magnetic materials [PDF]
Magnetic materials, both hard and soft, are used extensively in several components of particle accelerators. Magnetically soft iron-nickel alloys are used as shields for the vacuum chambers of accelerator injection and extraction septa; Fe-based material is widely employed for cores of accelerator and experiment magnets; soft spinel ferrites are used ...

Passive leg raising: five rules, not a drop of fluid!
In acute circulatory failure, passive leg raising (PLR) is a test that predicts whether cardiac output will increase with volume expansion [1]. By transferring a volume of around 300 mL of venous blood [2] from the lower body toward the right heart, PLR ...

On the nature of ceramics technology: from Empedocles to Dawkins
Abstract This contribution discusses salient aspects of the development of ceramics technology from its invention to the present, and the role ceramics have played during the cultural development and technological progress of ancient and modern societies. The conjecture is being advanced that the transformation of ceramic production modes from holistic,

Raising operators of row type for Macdonald polynomials [PDF]
Raising operators of row type are constructed by means of an interpolation method. These are a dual version of the raising operators of column type by A.N.Kirillov and M.Noumi. An extension of the q-binomial coefficients is introduced in relation to the raising operators.

Raising the level at your favorite prime [PDF]
In this paper we prove a level raising theorem for some weight $2$ trivial character newforms at almost every prime $p$. This is done by ignoring the residue characteristic at which the level raising appears.
