description: Urban research in Germany has started to address the socio-spatial distribution and architectures of so-called collective accommodation for asylum seekers, refugee camps, and new forms of ethnic segregation triggered by refugee movements in recent years. The spatial practices of refugees themselves within these processes have not yet been a subject of substantive research. Combining research methods from social and architectural sciences, this article investigates the physical, material, social and symbolic appropriation processes and the spatial dimension of homemaking by Syrian refugees currently housed in refugee accommodation in Berlin, Germany. What spatial knowledge is mobilized at the place of asylum in order to turn the accommodation into a home? How do spatial practices and knowledge hybridize practices of the place of origin, experiences made during the flight and the arriving and uncertain period of stay at an unfamiliar place of asylum? How do spatial appropriation processes collide with humanitarian logics and technocratic emergency management approaches at the place of asylum? With these questions, the article focuses on the ways in which refugees perceive, adapt to, appropriate and alter their new urban environment physically and socially, and how they thereby draw on existing and evolving stocks of urban knowledge, urban experiences and social relationships. It argues that to develop a homelike space in temporary accommodation, arriving refugees mobilize knowledge at the place of asylum which can only be understood as a re-figuration process that is equally at work in the case of other migrants, migration and translocal processes. Studying these urban re-figurations thus helps us to reveal how the interplay of refugees’ agency and their knowledge and the technocratic regime – as a state of permanent temporariness – affects the making of a ‘home’.

description: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is an important source for detecting adverse drug event (ADE) signals. In this article, we propose a three-component mixture model (3CMM) for FAERS signal detection. In 3CMM, a drug-ADE pair is assumed to have either a zero relative risk (RR), or a background RR (mean RR = 1), or an increased RR (mean RR >1). By clearly defining the second component (mean RR = 1) as the null distribution, 3CMM estimates local false discovery rates (FDRs) for ADE signals under the empirical Bayes framework. Compared with existing approaches, the local FDR's top signals have noninferior or better sensitivities to detect true signals in both FAERS analysis and simulation studies. Additionally, we identify that the top signals of different approaches have different patterns, and they are complementary to each other.

description: The energy spectrum of two 0-branes for fixed angular momentum in 2+1 dimensions is calculated by the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The basis function used for each angular momentum consists of 80 eigenstates of the harmonic oscillator problem on the corresponding space. It is seen that the spectrum exhibits a definite linear Regge trajectory behavior. It is argued how this behavior supports the picture by which the bound-states of quarks and QCD-strings are governed by the quantum mechanics of matrix coordinates.

Publisher: name: Taylor and Francis Ltd.
Year: 2018

description: Many cancer studies are conducted in multiple centers. While they have the advantage of more patients and larger population, center-to-center heterogeneity could be significant such that it cannot be ignored in analysis. In this paper, we propose semiparametric additive risk models with a general link function to estimate risk effects while accounting for center-specific baseline function. We propose an estimating equation for inference and show that the derived estimators are consistent and asymptotically normal. Simulation studies demonstrate good small-sample performance of the proposed method. We apply the method to analyze data from the Study of Left Ventricular Dysfunction (SOLVD) in 1990 and discuss application to one-to-one matched design. © 2018, © 2018 International Biometric Society – Chinese Region.

description: Excerpts from the report: In 1930, as one part of a comprehensive survey of economic and social conditions in the southern Appalachians, the Division of Farm Population and Rural Life made a study of the rural industries other than farming then operating in Knott County, Ky., to learn the contribution of these industries to farm incomes and to rural living conditions. A preliminary report of this study has been issued. The industries operating in Knott County were largely the so-called handicraft, fireside, or small-shop type with the exception of sawmilling, stone quarrying, and coal mining. None were factories. The present study has practically the same objective except that it was expanded to include a brief analysis of the community effects of rural industrial developments in addition to their financial contributions to farm family incomes. The producing units (except the barrel shops, an automobile body shop, and a small pottery) were factories using power-driven machinery or other equipment of larger size than that found in the handicraft, farm shop, or other small-scale production units (except sawmills) included in the earlier study. A few of the factories in the present study, however, send out partially completed articles to surrounding homes where certain steps in the manufacturing process are undertaken. Then, in contrast to the earlier study, the present one does not include all of the manufacturing industries operating in any one county, but consists of brief studies of manufacturing units scattered over 15 States east of the Missouri or Mississippi Rivers. All of these factories are situated either in towns having populations (with two exceptions) of 6,000 or less in 1930, or in the open country not adjacent to larger incorporated places, and all but two employ some farm people on a full- or part-time basis.
Semiparametric regression analysis of interval-censored data with informative dropout

Publisher: name: Blackwell Publishing Inc.
Year: 2018

description: Interval-censored data arise when the event time of interest can only be ascertained through periodic examinations. In medical studies, subjects may not complete the examination schedule for reasons related to the event of interest. In this article, we develop a semiparametric approach to adjust for such informative dropout in regression analysis of interval-censored data. Specifically, we propose a broad class of joint models, under which the event time of interest follows a transformation model with a random effect and the dropout time follows a different transformation model but with the same random effect. We consider nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation and develop an EM algorithm that involves simple and stable calculations. We prove that the resulting estimators of the regression parameters are consistent, asymptotically normal, and asymptotically efficient with a covariance matrix that can be consistently estimated through profile likelihood. In addition, we show how to consistently estimate the survival function when dropout represents voluntary withdrawal and the cumulative incidence function when dropout is an unavoidable terminal event. Furthermore, we assess the performance of the proposed numerical and inferential procedures through extensive simulation studies. Finally, we provide an application to data on the incidence of diabetes from a major epidemiological cohort study.

description: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of sensor nodes which can be deployed for various operations such as agriculture and environmental sensing, wild life monitoring, health care, military surveillance, industrial control, home automation, security etc. Quality of Service (QoS) is an important issue in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and providing QoS support in WSNs is an emerging area of research. Due to resource constraints nature of sensor networks like processing power, memory, bandwidth, energy etc. providing QoS support in WSNs is a challenging task. Delay is an important QoS parameter for forwarding data in a time constraint WSNs environment. In this paper we propose a delay aware routing protocol for transmission of time critical event information to the Sink of WSNs. The performance of the proposed protocol is evaluated by NS2 simulations under different scenarios.

Analysis of multiple survival events in generalized case-cohort designs

Publisher: name: Blackwell Publishing Inc.
Year: 2018

description: Generalized case-cohort design has been proposed to assess the effects of exposures on survival outcomes when measuring exposures is expensive and events are not rare in the cohort. In such design, expensive exposure information is collected from both a (stratified) randomly selected subcohort and a subset of individuals with events. In this article, we consider extension of such design to study multiple types of survival events by selecting a proportion of cases for each type of event. We propose a general weighting scheme to analyze data. Furthermore, we examine the optimal choice of weights and show that this optimal weighting yields much improved efficiency gain both asymptotically and in simulation studies. Finally, we apply our proposed methods to data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.

description: Excerpts from the report: The National Bankruptcy Act of July 1, 1898, with subsequent amendments, has governed the procedure for the legal adjustment involved in bankruptcy cases under Federal jurisdiction since that date. The principal provisions of this law are that any debtor who is unable to meet his obligations as they mature may present his case to a Federal court, listing his assets and liabilities. If the court, after verifying assets and claims and after hearing creditors, decides that the case warrants the action, it may apportion the assets among the creditors, subject to the borrower's exemptions, discussed later, and may declare the debtor free from all further obligations. Bankruptcy cases for farmers as well as for other occupations are dealt with in the Federal district courts, the lowest branch of the Federal judicial system. Figure 1 shows the 86 districts into which the country is divided and within which the district court has Federal jurisdiction. The relative number of farmer bankruptcy cases in any one period has shown a significant relationship to the economic conditions affecting farmers in that period. From 1898 to 1914, the annual number of bankruptcies averaged 1,085. During the 6 years, 1915-20, there was an average of 1,441, making an average of 1,182 cases for the 22 years. In 1921, a rapid increase began in farmer-insolvency cases adjusted in the courts, the number rising to a peak in 1925 and continuing at a high level through 1934. Farmer cases averaged 5,276 per year during the 15 years 1921-35, as compared with an average of 870 per year during the pre-war years 1910-14.

description: Dust grains play a crucial role in the modeling of protostellar formation, particularly through their opacity and interaction with the magnetic field. The destruction of dust grains in numerical simulations is currently modeled primarily by temperature dependent functions. However, a dynamical approach could be necessary to accurately model the vaporization of dust grains. We focused on modeling the evolution of dust grains during star formation, specifically on the vaporization of the grains by chemisputtering. We also investigated the evolution of non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic resistivities and the Planck and Rosseland mean opacities influenced by the grain evolution. We modeled the evolution of the dust by considering spherical grains at thermal equilibrium with the gas phase, composed only of one kind of material for each grain. We then took into account the exchange processes that can occur between the grains and the gas phase and that make the grain size evolve. We considered three materials for the grains: carbon, silicate, and aluminum oxide. Given a temporal evolution in temperature and density of the gas phase, we computed the evolution of a dust grain distribution. We observed a significant dependence of the sublimation temperature of the carbon grains on the dynamical evolution of the gas phase. The application of our method to trajectories where the temperature and density of the gas decrease after the sublimation of a portion of the grain distribution highlights the limitations of current vaporization prescriptions in simulations. The dynamical approach leads to more accurate results for the carbon grain quantity when the temperature and density of the gas evolve quickly. The dynamical approach application to collapse and disk evolution is then foreseen with its integration into hydrodynamic simulations.

Estimation and evaluation of linear individualized treatment rules to guarantee performance
Creators: name: Wang, Y.
name: Zeng, D.
name: Qiu, X.
Publisher: name: Blackwell Publishing Inc.
Year: 2018

description: In clinical practice, an informative and practically useful treatment rule should be simple and transparent. However, because simple rules are likely to be far from optimal, effective methods to construct such rules must guarantee performance, in terms of yielding the best clinical outcome (highest reward) among the class of simple rules under consideration. Furthermore, it is important to evaluate the benefit of the derived rules on the whole sample and in pre-specified subgroups (e.g., vulnerable patients). To achieve both goals, we propose a robust machine learning method to estimate a linear treatment rule that is guaranteed to achieve optimal reward among the class of all linear rules. We then develop a diagnostic measure and inference procedure to evaluate the benefit of the obtained rule and compare it with the rules estimated by other methods. We provide theoretical justification for the proposed method and its inference procedure, and we demonstrate via simulations its superior performance when compared to existing methods. Lastly, we apply the method to the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) trial on major depressive disorder and show that the estimated optimal linear rule provides a large benefit for mildly depressed and severely depressed patients but manifests a lack-of-fit for moderately depressed patients.

DUAL-LOCO assumes that the data is distributed according to the features rather than the samples. It requires only a single round of communication where low-dimensional random projections are used to approximate the dependences between features available to different workers. We show that DUAL-LOCO has bounded approximation error which only depends weakly on the number of workers. We compare DUAL-LOCO against a state-of-the-art distributed optimization method on a variety of real world datasets and show that it obtains better speedups while retaining good accuracy.

description: Interval-censored multivariate failure time data arise when there are multiple types of failure or there is clustering of study subjects and each failure time is known only to lie in a certain interval.We investigate the effects of possibly time-dependent covariates on multivariate failure times by considering a broad class of semiparametric transformation models with random effects, and we study nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation under general interval-censoring schemes.We show that the proposed estimators for the finite-dimensional parameters are consistent and asymptotically normal, with a limiting covariance matrix that attains the semiparametric efficiency bound and can be consistently estimated through profile likelihood. In addition, we develop an EM algorithm that converges stably for arbitrary datasets. Finally, we assess the performance of the proposed methods in extensive simulation studies and illustrate their application using data derived from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: One of the most important post-war developments in the dairy industry has been the tendency toward large-scale organization in the manufacturing and distribution of dairy products. This tendency is exemplified by the big dairy corporations, the meat packers, the grocery chains, and a number of dairy marketing cooperatives. More than any other factor, the rapid growth of such organizations during recent years has altered the entire marketing structure for dairy products and has affected the methods of their handling at all points in the distributive process. This study shows that concentration of control varies considerably for the different dairy products. The three largest handlers of each product distribute approximately 21 percent of the total supply of butter, 63 percent of the cheese, and 44 percent of the condensed and evaporated milk. No single firm has any very large percentage of the total volume of milk that is consumed in fluid form, but it is not uncommon for two or three handlers to distribute from one-half to two-thirds or even more of the supply in a given city market. It is impossible to obtain a direct measurement of the effects of large-scale organization on the marketing costs and margins of dairy products. But it is significant that the marketing spreads for condensed and evaporated milk (to which mass methods have been most completely applied) have narrowed steadily in relation to those of other dairy products. In addition to these major topics, the writers have sought to bring together what information is available relative to other phases of the problem. Among these are the financial tendencies shown by the dairy companies, their sources of supply and sales outlets, the importance of patent control in the dairy industry, and the relationship of mass distribution to the producer-cooperative movement.

description: Genome annotation of Mullus barbatus from Massa et al. - Genomic Insights into the Population Structure and Adaptive Variation of Mullus barbatus in the Mediterranean Sea (under review).

Methods: To identify the geneset, we mapped the produced RNAseq reads against the genome reference using HISAT2 (v.2.2). The resulting bam files were merged and sorted using samtools (v1.7). Then to predict the gene models we used BRAKER3 (v3.0), providing as evidence the RNA alignments and similarity with known proteins as well. To produce the protein similarity hint file, we downloaded known proteins from UniProt and aligned them against the M. barbatus reference genome using miniprot (v0.13). The predicted geneset was reduced to one isoform per gene with AGAT (v1.4) and was then evaluated using BUSCO (v5.3.1). To functionally annotate the predicted geneset, we conducted a BLASTp search against UniProt Database and ran InterProScan (v5).

Results: RNA sequencing produced 524.34 million reads that were mapped against the genome with an average of 85% mapping rate. Gene prediction yielded 35,727 genes including 43,217 transcripts. From those 39,625 had a hit against UniProt and 33,003 had a protein domain assigned through InterProScan search. Finally, BUSCO completeness assessment showed that 92.7% of the searched genes are present in the predicted geneset, 91.5% in single copy and 1.2% as duplicated. Additionally, 3.1% of genes were fragmented, and 4.2% were missing.

description: Understanding demographic differences in transitions across physical activity (PA) levels is important for informing PA-promoting interventions, yet few studies have examined these transitions in contemporary multi-ethnic adult populations. We estimated age-, race/ethnicity-, and sex-specific 1-year net transition probabilities (NTPs) for National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007–2012, n = 11,556) and Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (2008–2011, n = 15,585) adult participants using novel Markov-type state transition models developed for cross-sectional data. Among populations with ideal PA (≥ 150 min/week; ranging from 56% (non-Hispanic black females) to 88% (non-Hispanic white males) at age 20), NTPs to intermediate PA (> 0–<149 min/week) generally increased with age, particularly for non-Hispanic black females for whom a net 0.0% (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.0, 0.2) transitioned from ideal to intermediate PA at age 20; by age 70, the NTP rose to 3.6% (95% CI: 2.3, 4.8). Heterogeneity in intermediate to poor (0 min/week) PA NTPs also was observed, with NTPs peaking at age 20 for Hispanic/Latino males and females [age 20 NTP = 3.7% (95% CI: 2.0, 5.5) for females and 5.0% (1.2, 8.7) for males], but increasing throughout adulthood for non-Hispanic blacks and whites [e.g. age 70 NTP = 7.8% (95% CI: 6.1, 9.6%) for black females and 8.1% (4.7, 11.6) for black males]. Demographic differences in PA net transitions across adulthood justify further development of tailored interventions. However, innovative efforts may be required for populations in which large proportions have already transitioned from ideal PA by early adulthood.

description: A new value for the emission probability of 137.144keV g-ray of 186gRe decay are re-recommended to be 9.47+-0.03 (%). From this new g-ray emission probability, the measured cross sections for 187Re(n,2n)186mRe and 187Re(n,2n)186gRe reactions around 14MeV are evaluated, and the total cross section for 187Re(n,2n)186m+gRe reaction at 14.8MeV is recommended to be 2213+-116 mb. The UNF code are adopted to calculate the total cross sections for 187Re(n,2n)186m+gRe reaction below 20 MeV fitting to the recommended value 2213+-116 mb at 14.8MeV using a set of optimum neutron optical potential parameters which obtained on the relevant experimental data of Re. Then the isomeric cross section ratios for 187Re(n,2n)186m,gRe reaction are calculated using the method of Monte Carlo calculations based on the nuclear statistical theory. Combining these two calculated results, the excitation functions for 187Re(n,2n)186mRe and 187Re(n,2n)186gRe reactions are obtained. The obtained results are in good agreement with the available experimental data, which indicates that present method is useful to deduce the isomeric cross sections for (n,2n) reaction.

description: We evaluate the entanglement entropy of exactly solvable Hamiltonians corresponding to general families of three-dimensional topological models. We show that the modification to the entropic area law due to three-dimensional topological properties is richer than the two-dimensional case. In addition to the reduction of the entropy caused by non-zero vacuum expectation value of contractible loop operators a new topological invariant appears that increases the entropy if the model consists of non-trivially braiding anyons. As a result the three-dimensional topological entanglement entropy provides only partial information about the two entropic topological invariants.

Parental Involvement Supporting Student Success: Overview and Synthesis
Creators: Janice Charchuk
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Improving parental involvement can lead to increased student success, yet schools struggle to engage more parents in the education process. How can schools encourage more parental involvement? How can parents best support their children, teachers, and school leaders to increase student success? This study aimed to gain insight into the understanding of parental involvement, identify perceived barriers preventing involvement, and develop

recommendations for improving parental involvement in a small, rural school in Northern Alberta. Data for this study were collected through semi-structured interviews with parents and a teacher to explore their understandings of parental involvement and barriers preventing involvement. Key ideas from the findings included the importance of building positive and collaborative relationships between school and home, making communication a focus, and making parents feel welcomed, heard, and an essential part of the education process. COVID has affected education and relationships with home, and staff and parents must work to rebuild these relationships. Staff may need further education on effectively interacting with parents, and parents may need support and encouragement to develop the skills and knowledge to support their child’s success. Improving student success may be more attainable if we can better engage parents in all aspects of their children’s learning.
