Constant Comparative Analysis

In this autoethnography, I explored my daily challenges and frustrations working as a teacher of gifted students in inclusion classrooms in an elementary public school. Inquiring about how I coped with these challenges and eventually thrived in the position, I journaled weekly about my teaching experiences during a six-month period and collected e-mails to teachers and parents. I employed constant comparative analysis and five themes emerged: frustration, isolation, advocacy, collaboration, and influence. I discussed the themes within the greater social and cultural context, drawing upon psychology and educational theories.

"The production and yield of grain crops in Ukraine from 2000 to 2019 was analysed in the article. The comparative analysis of gross harvest and export of grain during these years was carried out and the dependence of exports on gross harvest and its share was determined. The results point out that the export of grain crops has increased over the years under research, which indicates Ukraine’s significant export potential. Thus, leaving for the needs of the country from 16.0 to 36.6 million tons of grain (on average, 25.9 million tons), Ukrainian farmers export an average of 40.7% of the crop. During the period from 2000 to 2019, the gross harvest of grains in the country averaged 48.4 million tons resulting in the annual potential share of exports of at least 22.4 million tons. It was also found that the increase in the share of exports was made possible by a qualitative change in yield, which was due to the changes in crop growing technology. However, with global warming and climate change, new challenges for agricultural producers are emerging. The recommendations were given in order to improve the crop growing technology that will allow to overcome these challenges, further increase yields and Ukraine's export potential. "

Abstract Background Global warming is the most serious problem we face today. Each country is expected to ensure international cooperation toward minimizing risk. To evaluate the countermeasures, many researchers have developed integrated assessment models (IAMs). Then, how can each country achieve its emission quota? This study proposes models that analyze the economic impact of global warming in a region based on the results obtained by the global model. By using these suggested models, we perform a comparative analysis on three policy cases: a different regulations case, a unified regulation case, and an output redistribution case. Results We analyzed Japan as one of the case studies and found that more developed areas should implement stricter regulations in all scenarios. In addition, the case of applying different regulations by area (in a region) is not always preferable to using unified regulations in the region. Alternatively, the output gap between the output redistribution case and the different regulations case is much higher than the gap between the unified regulation case and the different regulations case. In all scenarios, the present values of the output of the output redistribution case are also higher than the other cases. Conclusions The different regulations case and the unified regulation case are based on the model without capital transfer between areas, whereas the output redistribution case is based on the model with free capital transfer between areas. Although both models are extreme situations, the regions close to the without capital transfer situation possibly have an incentive to use the different regulations policy, depending on the emission target. The regions close to the situation with free capital transfer would probably prefer unified regulation.

Reflective Surfaces

Albedo is the measure of the ratio of solar radiation reflected by the Earth’s surface. High-albedo reflective surfaces absorb less energy and reflect more shortwave radiation. The change in radiative energy balance at the top-of-atmosphere (TOA), which is called radiative forcing (RF), reduces nearby air temperatures and influences the surrounding building energy demand (BED). The impact of reflective surfaces on RF and BED has been investigated separately by researchers through modeling and observational studies, however, no one has compared RF and BED impacts under the same context and the net effect of these two phenomena remains unclear. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to assess the net impacts of pavement albedo modification strategies in selected urban neighborhoods. We apply an adapted analytical model for RF and a hybrid model framework combining two different models for BED to estimate the impacts of increasing pavement albedo from 0.1 to 0.3 for different urban neighborhoods in Boston and Phoenix. The impact of several context-specific factors, including location, urban morphology, shadings etc., are taken into account in the models. Comparative analysis reveals that the net impact of changing pavement albedo can vary from one neighborhood to another. In Phoenix downtown, reflective pavements create net global warming potential burdens, while increasing pavement albedo results in potential savings in the Boston downtown area. This work provides insights into pavement albedo impacts at urban scale and supports more informed decisions on pavement designs that save energy and counteract some of the effects of global warming.

Source Of Information

Research has been and should continue to be an integral component of any gifted program. Of the three basic types of research (historical, descriptive, and experimental), the first two types are most often engaged by students in the elementary classroom. These two types of research usually involve an encyclopedia as a primary source of information. Unless students are given the opportunity to be exposed to the wide variety of resources at their disposal it is unlikely that they will discover them on their own. It is the purpose of this article to provide the teacher of elementary gifted students with five research activities that can help expose students to those different resources. The activities should take about one week to complete, except for the final one. The purpose of the activities should be explained to the students before beginning them.
