Breaking Down Barriers for Student Parents and Caregivers with Family-Friendly Library Spaces

Abstract

In 2016, J. Murrey Atkins Library at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte opened a reservable study room where student parents and caregivers can study with their children on campus. In 2018, the library opened a second family-friendly study room to meet the needs of our growing campus community. To inform the room design, the library conducted a mixed methods research study that included a user survey, an examination of room reservation and usage data, and one-on-one user interviews. This paper focuses on the user-centered design process used to inform the development of the second, family-friendly, library study room.     

国家治理现代化视域下我国体育智库的责任与担当

党的十九届四中全会明确提出了“坚持和完善中国特色社会主义制度、推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的重大意义和总体要求”。在新的历史时期，我国体育智库的新使命在于推进体育强国、健康中国和体育治理现代化建设。基于此，采用文献资料法和逻辑分析法，从外部和内部两个角度，对我国体育智库的责任和担当进行深入探讨。认为体育智库对内要注重更新管理体制，完善运行机制，建设和优化人才培养体系；对外要通过科研成果转化实现体育产业高质量发展，重塑体育治理生态，提升国家体育文化软实力和国际体育地位硬实力，促进体育融合发展，最终服务于我国体育治理体系和治理能力现代化。

The role of task and ego-oriented climate in explaining students’ bright and dark motivational experiences in Physical Education

Background: A distinction is made in Achievement Goal Theory (AGT) between task-oriented (i.e. effort, intra-individual progress, and self-comparison) and ego-oriented (i.e. inter-individual progress and normative comparison) climates. Combining insights from AGT and Self-Determination Theory (SDT), studies in the PE context have shown that a task-oriented climate positively relates to need satisfaction, although the findings regarding the motivating role of an ego-oriented climate are inconsistent. Moreover, little is known about the role of task- or ego-oriented climates in explaining experiences of basic psychological need frustration.

Purpose: Grounded in AGT and SDT, the aim of the present study was to examine if experiences of basic psychological need satisfaction and need frustration can explain why task- and ego-oriented climates elicit positive and negative motivational outcomes in PE, respectively.

Research design: Cross-sectional study.

Method: A sample of 524 secondary school students (51.1% boys, M_age?=?14.51; SD?=?1.81) from five different secondary schools participated in this study. Students reported on their perceptions of task- and ego-oriented climates, motivational regulations, basic psychological need satisfaction, and need frustration, as well as positive and negative outcomes in PE. Structural equation modeling was used to investigate our objective.

Results: We found that a task-oriented climate had a strong and positive relationship with basic psychological need satisfaction, eliciting a bright pathway to autonomous motivation and affective attitude. An ego-oriented climate was positively related to basic psychological need frustration, eliciting a dark pathway to amotivation and boredom. A negative cross-path from task-oriented climate to basic psychological need frustration was also found, while no significant cross-paths were found from ego-oriented climate to basic psychological need satisfaction.

Conclusions: This study provides a better understanding of the mechanisms that explain why task- and ego-oriented climates shape students’ motivational experiences in PE lessons. It is suggested that a task-oriented climate elicits a bright pathway towards more optimal functioning, because it fosters experiences of need satisfaction and buffers against experiences of need frustration. In contrast, an ego-oriented climate is primarily positively related to feelings of need frustration and negative motivational outcomes. Practical implications for PE teacher training are discussed.     

美国体育小镇的运行机制及其对中国的启示

体育是美国人生活中不可或缺的一部分，发达的体育文化为美国小镇体育的繁荣奠定了基础。研究以美国体育小镇为对象，运用文献资料、实地考察、逻辑分析及ArcGIS地理信息绘图等方法和技术对美国体育小镇进行了研究。结果表明：美国体育小镇的布局属非均匀化发展，存在东强西弱，南强北弱的特点且表现出"马太效应"。进而从社会学的角度分析了美国体育小镇运行的外部环境和内在动力机制，并以典型案例对体育小镇运行特点进行了剖析。建议我国体育小镇的建设应从目标引领、政策驱动、环境支持、形成正反馈循环和塑造灵魂等方面思考以推动体育小镇的建设。     

Digital Module 05: Diagnostic Measurement—The G‐DINA Framework https://ncme.elevate.commpartners.com

In this ITEMS module, we introduce the generalized deterministic inputs, noisy “and” gate (G‐DINA) model, which is a general framework for specifying, estimating, and evaluating a wide variety of cognitive diagnosis models. The module contains a nontechnical introduction to diagnostic measurement, an introductory overview of the G‐DINA model, as well as common special cases, and a review of model‐data fit evaluation practices within this framework. We use the flexible GDINA R package, which is available for free within the R environment and provides a user‐friendly graphical interface in addition to the code‐driven layer. The digital module also contains videos of worked examples, solutions to data activity questions, curated resources, a glossary, and quizzes with diagnostic feedback.

线状需求下两阶段设施选址问题

鉴于大型交通线路建设项目的物资需求随时间变化(在初期阶段需求较低;在后续阶段项目全面展开,需求显著上升),本文采用线积分对沿线连续分布的线状物资需求进行刻画,构建两阶段设施选址模型,第一阶段进行部分设施的选址,第二阶段对剩余设施选址,以实现系统总成本最低的目标。针对模型特点,设计基于Voronoi图的两阶段交替定位-分配(alternative location-allocation,ALA)算法进行求解,并进行实例分析,比较两阶段模型与传统模型的异同。研究表明,将两阶段设施选址模型应用于交通线路建设项目多物流节点选址,能节约运营成本,并缓解初期资金压力。     

FPSO爆燃事故加强机制分析

为探究海上浮式生产储油卸油船(floating production storage and offloading，FPSO)爆燃事故加强机制，采用计算流体力学(computational fluid dynamics, CFD)对FPSO爆燃事故进行数值模拟。模拟结果表明，在拥塞度较大的钢架结构区域，火焰速度和爆燃压力急剧增大。为进一步探究复杂钢架结构和管系对爆燃事故的加强机制，搭建半开敞管道甲烷 空气爆燃实验系统。实验结果表明，在爆燃过程中复杂钢架结构和管系能够诱导火焰产生强烈的湍流作用，加快未燃气体的燃烧速度，导致爆燃事故后果加强。结合数值模拟结果与实验结果，为FPSO爆燃事故防治给出建议。     

船舶靠泊过程中系缆作业仿真

为更加准确直观地模拟船舶靠泊过程中的系缆作业,将缆绳分为两部分进行建模。对缆机滚筒上的缆绳提出缠绕算法模型,计算出缆绳随着滚筒旋转的收放速度,实现使用滚筒收放缆绳的模拟。对缆机滚筒外的缆绳建立悬链线模型,计算出缆绳在不同工况下的形状和端点处的受力情况,并根据计算出的缆绳张力是否超出安全负荷对缆绳进行破断分析。根据船舶和码头形状确定碰撞检测区域,采用基于距离场的碰撞检测方法实现缆绳与船体、缆绳与码头之间的碰撞检测。通过模拟缆绳在系缆作业过程中的形状、位置和姿态变化,实现船舶靠泊过程中系缆作业的三维可视化。
