description: The quantification of local surface morphology in the human cortex is important for examining population differences as well as developmental changes in neurodegenerative or neurodevelopmental disorders. We propose a novel cortical shape measure, referred to as the ‘shape complexity index’ (SCI), that represents localized shape complexity as the difference between the observed distributions of local surface topology, as quantified by the shape index (SI) measure, to its best fitting simple topological model within a given neighborhood. We apply a relatively small, adaptive geodesic kernel to calculate the SCI. Due to the small size of the kernel, the proposed SCI measure captures fine differences of cortical shape. With this novel cortical feature, we aim to capture comparatively small local surface changes that capture a) the widening versus deepening of sulcal and gyral regions, as well as b) the emergence and development of secondary and tertiary sulci. Current cortical shape measures, such as the gyrification index (GI) or intrinsic curvature measures, investigate the cortical surface at a different scale and are less well suited to capture these particular cortical surface changes. In our experiments, the proposed SCI demonstrates higher complexity in the gyral/sulcal wall regions, lower complexity in wider gyral ridges and lowest complexity in wider sulcal fundus regions. In early postnatal brain development, our experiments show that SCI reveals a pattern of increased cortical shape complexity with age, as well as sexual dimorphisms in the insula, middle cingulate, parieto-occipital sulcal and Broca's regions. Overall, sex differences were greatest at 6 months of age and were reduced at 24 months, with the difference pattern switching from higher complexity in males at 6 months to higher complexity in females at 24months. This is the first study of longitudinal, cortical complexity maturation and sex differences, in the early postnatal period from 6 to 24 months of age with fine scale, cortical shape measures. These results provide information that complement previous studies of gyrification index in early brain development.

description: The Ministry of Education, Teaching Council and other groups aligned with the teaching profession are increasingly acknowledging the impact of racism, yet there is a dearth of research that moves beyond unconscious bias to examine how race is socially constructed in schools. In this paper, we present four autoethnographic accounts from Tracey to draw attention to the phenomenon of settler affirmations; a form of interpersonal and institutional racial bonding that reaffirms settler perspectives and sensibilities in schools. Settler affirmations are exchanges that pass between educators who are perceived to be Pākehā (New Zealanders primarily of European descent.) to sustain silencing. Silencing is a racial discourse that aims to keep the descendants of settlers in a state of racial comfort by reinforcing historically resolved and equitable bicultural relations and ignorance and denial of the structuring force of colonisation. Moreover, the discursive process is exacerbated by the organisation and administrative design of the institution. Indeed, our analysis of Tracey’s vignettes brings to the fore everyday ways that the cultural and environmental norms of schooling affirm the settler colonial heart of New Zealand education. We conclude the paper by considering how settler affirmations can affect the compulsory roll out of the Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories curriculum in 2022. In doing so, we highlight the need for an urgent and earnest focus by policy makers, researchers, and teachers to respond to the social construction of race in education.

description: Common university spaces are often lauded as inclusive spaces where everyone is welcomed, but is that really the case? Universities in Aotearoa New Zealand receive social, material, and financial benefits from positioning themselves as ethnically and culturally diverse, yet these institutions were established through acts of colonial invasion that severed Indigenous communities from land, language, and culture. The silencing of violent colonial histories is typical of settler societies and in institutions like universities in order to progress the idea of harmonious settler-Indigenous relations. Historical amnesia caters to settler sensibilities and the need to feel a sense of belonging to migrated territories, yet colonial violence continues to negatively impact Indigenous peoples’ lives. In this article, we consider how the logics of settler-colonialism underpin the workings of a large communal university space at one Aotearoa New Zealand university, to explore how the ideals of equity and inclusion function in normal day-to-day operations. Our research applied collaborative focused ethnographic methods to the performative and cultural dimensions of whiteness, to reveal ways in which settler normativity–settler ways of being, thinking, and doing–were evident in this communal space. Settler normativity was constructed by the predominance and location of settlers in space, the comfort settlers displayed, design of the space, and normalisation of wealth. We argue that common university spaces function as a microcosm of settler colonialism, where indigeneity is displaced, settlers assert their permanence, and universities profit.

description: The Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) of the NASA small explorer mission provides significantly more complete and higher resolution spectral coverage of the dynamical conditions inside the chromosphere and transition region (TR) than has heretofore been available. Near the solar limb high temporal, spatial (0.3") and spectral resolution observations from the ultraviolet IRIS spectra reveal high-energy limb event brightenings (LEBs) at low chromospheric heights, around 1 Mm above the limb. They can be characterized as explosive events producing jets. We selected two events showing spectra of a confined eruption just off or near the quiet Sun limb, the jet part showing obvious moving material with short duration large Doppler shifts in three directions identified as macrospicules on slit-jaw (SJ) images in Si IV and He II 304 A. The events are analyzed from a sequence of very close rasters taken near the central meridian and the South pole limb. The processed SJ images and the simultaneously observed fast spectral sequences having large Doppler shifts, with a pair of red shifted elements together with a faster blue shifted element from almost the same position, are analyzed. Shifts correspond to velocities of up to 100 km/s in projection on the plane of the sky. The occurrence of erupting spicules and macrospicules from these regions is noticed from images taken before and after the spectra. The cool low first ionization potential (FIP) element simultaneous line emissions of the MgII h and k resonance lines do not clearly show a similar signature due to optical thickness effects but the Si IV broad-band SJ images do. The bidirectional plasma jets ejected from a small reconnection site are interpreted as the result of coronal loop-loop interactions leading to reconnection in nearby sites.

Diminished neural adaptation during implicit learning in autism

description: Neuroimaging studies have shown evidence of disrupted neural adaptation during learning in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in several types of tasks, potentially stemming from frontal-posterior cortical underconnectivity (Schipul et al., 2012). The aim of the current study was to examine neural adaptations in an implicit learning task that entails participation of frontal and posterior regions. Sixteen high-functioning adults with ASD and sixteen neurotypical control participants were trained on and performed an implicit dot pattern prototype learning task in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) session. During the preliminary exposure to the type of implicit prototype learning task later to be used in the scanner, the ASD participants took longer than the neurotypical group to learn the task, demonstrating altered implicit learning in ASD. After equating task structure learning, the two groups’ brain activation differed during their learning of a new prototype in the subsequent scanning session. The main findings indicated that neural adaptations in a distributed task network were reduced in the ASD group, relative to the neurotypical group, and were related to ASD symptom severity. Functional connectivity was reduced and did not change as much during learning for the ASD group, and was related to ASD symptom severity. These findings suggest that individuals with ASD show altered neural adaptations during learning, as seen in both activation and functional connectivity measures. This finding suggests why many real-world implicit learning situations may pose special challenges for ASD.

description: Functional brain network analysis has become one principled way of revealing informative organization architectures in healthy brains, and providing sensitive biomarkers for diagnosis of neurological disorders. Prior to any post hoc analysis, however, a natural issue is how to construct “ideal” brain networks given, for example, a set of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) time series associated with different brain regions. Although many methods have been developed, it is currently still an open field to estimate biologically meaningful and statistically robust brain networks due to our limited understanding of the human brain as well as complex noises in the observed data. Motivated by the fact that the brain is organized with modular structures, in this paper, we propose a novel functional brain network modeling scheme by encoding a modularity prior under a matrix-regularized network learning framework, and further formulate it as a sparse low-rank graph learning problem, which can be solved by an efficient optimization algorithm. Then, we apply the learned brain networks to identify patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from normal controls. We achieved 89.01% classification accuracy even with a simple feature selection and classification pipeline, which significantly outperforms the conventional brain network construction methods. Moreover, we further explore brain network features that contributed to MCI identification, and discovered potential biomarkers for personalized diagnosis.

description: Safety critical avionics software is a natural application area for formal verification. This is reflected in the formal method's inclusion into the certification guideline DO-178C and its formal methods supplement DO-333. Airbus and Dassault-Aviation, for example, have conducted studies in using formal verification. A large German national research project, Verisoft XT, also examined the application of formal methods in the avionics domain. However, formal methods are not yet mainstream, and it is questionable if formal verification, especially formal deduction, can be integrated into the software development processes of a resource constrained small or medium enterprise (SME). ESG, a Munich based medium sized company, has conducted a small experimental study on the application of formal verification on a small portion of a real avionics project. The low level specification of a software function was formalized with ACSL, and the corresponding source code was partially verified using Frama-C and the WP plugin, with Alt-Ergo as automated prover. We established a couple of criteria which a method should meet to be fit for purpose for industrial use in SME, and evaluated these criteria with the experience gathered by using ACSL with Frama-C on a real world example. The paper reports on the results of this study but also highlights some issues regarding the method in general which, in our view, will typically arise when using the method in the domain of embedded real-time programming.

description: The human cerebral cortex is marked by great complexity as well as substantial dynamic changes during early postnatal development. To obtain a fairly comprehensive picture of its age-induced and/or disorder-related cortical changes, one needs to match cortical surfaces to one another, while maximizing their anatomical alignment. Methods that geodesically shoot surfaces into one another as currents (a distribution of oriented normals) and varifolds (a distribution of non-oriented normals) provide an elegant Riemannian framework for generic surface matching and reliable statistical analysis. However, both conventional current and varifold matching methods have two key limitations. First, they only use the normals of the surface to measure its geometry and guide the warping process, which overlooks the importance of the orientations of the inherently convoluted cortical sulcal and gyral folds. Second, the ‘conversion’ of a surface into a current or a varifold operates at a fixed scale under which geometric surface details will be neglected, which ignores the dynamic scales of cortical foldings. To overcome these limitations and improve varifold-based cortical surface registration, we propose two different strategies. The first strategy decomposes each cortical surface into its normal and tangent varifold representations, by integrating principal curvature direction field into the varifold matching framework, thus providing rich information of the orientation of cortical folding and better characterization of the complex cortical geometry. The second strategy explores the informative cortical geometric features to perform a dynamic-scale measurement of the cortical surface that depends on the local surface topography (e.g., principal curvature), thereby we introduce the concept of a topography-based dynamic-scale varifold. We tested the proposed varifold variants for registering 12 pairs of dynamically developing cortical surfaces from 0 to 6 months of age. Both variants improved the matching accuracy in terms of closeness to the target surface and the goodness of alignment with regional anatomical boundaries, when compared with three state-of-the-art methods: (1) diffeomorphic spectral matching, (2) conventional current-based surface matching, and (3) conventional varifold-based surface matching.

description: Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) has emerged as a versatile tool for non-invasive measurement of functional connectivity patterns in the brain. RsfMRI brain dynamics in rodents, non-human primates, and humans share similar properties; however, little is known about the resting state functional connectivity patterns in the ferret, an animal model with high potential for developmental and cognitive translational study. To address this knowledge-gap, we performed rsfMRI on anesthetized ferrets using a 9.4 tesla MRI scanner, and subsequently performed group-level independent component analysis (gICA) to identify functionally connected brain networks. Group-level ICA analysis revealed distributed sensory, motor, and higher-order networks in the ferret brain. Subsequent connectivity analysis showed interconnected higher-order networks that constituted a putative default mode network (DMN), a network that exhibits altered connectivity in neuropsychiatric disorders. Finally, we assessed ferret brain topological efficiency using graph theory analysis and found that the ferret brain exhibits small-world properties. Overall, these results provide additional evidence for pan-species resting-state networks, further supporting ferret-based studies of sensory and cognitive function.

description: Objective: People acting in a caring role can experience elevated levels of distress. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of conducting a clinical trial evaluating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to increase psychological flexibility and reduce psychological distress in informal carers of people who have experienced an episode of psychosis. Participants: Fifteen participants consented to participate in a four-session ACT group intervention and completed questionnaires at baseline and post-intervention. Design: A feasibility study design was employed (Phase 1) based on the PICO framework. This was followed by a focus group (Phase 2) that was analysed using thematic analysis. Measures: The following assessment measures were completed at baseline and at post-intervention assessment points: the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form, the Valued Living Questionnaire, the General Health Questionnaire, the Zarit Burden Interview, the State Version of the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire, the Experiential Avoidance in Caregiving Questionnaire and fear of recurrence of psychosis was measured by two idiographic Likert scales. The facilitators fidelity to the ACT model was measured via the ACTs of ACT Fidelity Scale. Results: The study was found to be feasible, and both acceptable and helpful to participants. Of those that started the intervention (n=12), 60% were retained throughout the study. Results indicate promising treatment effects across all outcomes, with particular improvements in general levels of distress and cognitive fusion. Conclusion: This is the first study to explore the use of ACT for carers of people with psychosis. Due to the promising results for feasibility, acceptability, satisfaction and initial treatment effects, a pilot randomised trial is now warranted to explore efficacy of the intervention.
IMPROVING QUALITY OF ECOTOURISM THROUGH ADVANCING EDUCATION & TRAINING OF GREEK ECO-TOUR GUIDES: THE ROLE OF TRAINING IN ENVIRONMENTAL INTERPRETATION

description: Environmental interpretation in Greece is in its infancy as an academic field. There are no nature guides or specific conservation objectives, and there is no professional training for non formal environmental educators and/or interpreters. The a of this paper is to reveal the necessity of integrating environmental interpretation in training of Greek Ecotour guides.The focus is on developing abilities which could enable Greek Ecotour guides to communicate and interpret the significance of the environment, promote minimal impact practices, ensure the sustainability of the natural and cultural environment, and motivate visiting tourists to evaluate the quality of life in relation to larger ecological or cultural concerns. The rationale underpinning this objective is that by providing accurate and effective interpretation of ecotourism sites as well as monitoring and modelling environmental responsible behaviour, the outcome will be to promote positive impacts of tourism and alleviate negative ones Local community will be encouraged to participate in environmental management of ecotourism settings. Furthermore, connecting ecotourism commitment to returning benefits, particularly economic and employment ones to local communities, it stresses that training local people to be interpretive guides, helps achieving not only ecological sustainability but also economic sustainability. Once trained, guides may encourage conservation action amongst both tourists and the local community.

description: The importance of non-perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics [QCD] parameters is discussed in context to the predicting power for bottom meson masses and isospin splitting. In the framework of heavy quark effective theory, the work presented here focuses on the different allowed values of the two non perturbative QCD parameters used in heavy quark effective theory formula and using the best fitted parameter, masses of the excited bottom meson states in JP=(1/2)+ doublet in strange as well as non-strange sector are calculated here. The calculated masses are found to be matching well with experiments and other phenomenological models. The mass and hyperfine splitting has also been analyzed for both strange and non-strange heavy mesons with respect to spin and flavor symmetries.

description: Zahlreiche moderne Lösungen im Bereich Autonomes Fahren greifen auf hochpräzises Kartenmaterial zurück. Neben anderen Informationen muss das Kartenmaterial solche über Verkehrsregeln enthalten. In dieser Arbeit wird eine Offline-Lösung für die Inferenz von Verkehrsregeln an Deutschen Kreuzungen entwickelt. Mithilfe dieser Lösung werden für jeden Fahrstreifen einer Kreuzung Klassifikationsentscheidungen für jede mögliche Zielrichtung, welche von diesem Fahrstreifen aus erreichbar ist, getroffen. Verkehrsregeln werden mithilfe von Hidden-Markov-Models repräsentiert und, basierend auf errechneten Likelihood-Werten, bestimmt. Die Modelle werden mithilfe künstlich erzeugter Trajektorien von Kreuzungsüberquerungen parametrisiert und evaluiert. Unter realen Umständen würden solche Daten opportunistisch und sensorgestützt von einer Fahrzeugflotte über einen längeren Zeitraum hinweg gesammelt werden. In einer Reihe von Experimenten wird eine geeignete Trajektorienrepräsentation festgelegt und der Klassifikationsansatz getestet und verfeinert. Die Klassifikationsperformanz des Ansatzes wird mithilfe eines Kreuzvalidierungsverfahren bestimmt. Mittlere F$_1$-Scores zur Quantifizierung der besten Ergebnisse unter den erzielten Testergebnissen variieren zwischen 0.809 und 0.832. Bezüglich der Verkehrsregeln, welche mithilfe von Vorfahrts- und Stoppschildern, sowie Lichtsignalanlagen kommuniziert werden, werden hohe Klassifikationsleistungen erreicht. Allerdings bestehen Schwierigkeiten bei der Klassifikation im Zusammenhang mit den Verkehrsregeln Vorfahrt achten und Rechts vor Links. Da die initial erzielten Ergebnisse vielversprechend sind, wird empfohlen diesen Ansatz in zukünftigen Arbeiten weiterzuentwickeln und zu verbessern.

description: Quantitative study of perivascular spaces (PVSs) in brain magnetic resonance (MR) images is important for understanding the brain lymphatic system and its relationship with neurological diseases. One of major challenges is the accurate extraction of PVSs that have very thin tubular structures with various directions in three-dimensional (3D) MR images. In this paper, we propose a learning-based PVS segmentation method to address this challenge. Specifically, we first determine a region of interest (ROI) by using the anatomical brain structure and the vesselness information derived from eigenvalues of image derivatives. Then, in the ROI, we extract a number of randomized Haar features which are normalized with respect to the principal directions of the underlying image derivatives. The classifier is trained by the random forest model that can effectively learn both discriminative features and classifier parameters to maximize the information gain. Finally, a sequential learning strategy is used to further enforce various contextual patterns around the thin tubular structures into the classifier. For evaluation, we apply our proposed method to the 7T brain MR images scanned from 17 healthy subjects aged from 25 to 37. The performance is measured by voxel-wise segmentation accuracy, cluster- wise classification accuracy, and similarity of geometric properties, such as volume, length, and diameter distributions between the predicted and the true PVSs. Moreover, the accuracies are also evaluated on the simulation images with motion artifacts and lacunes to demonstrate the potential of our method in segmenting PVSs from elderly and patient populations. The experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms all existing PVS segmentation methods.
