The psychology of followership : how group conflict influences preferences for leaders
Creators: name: Hohm, Ian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: A growing body of research suggests that humans likely evolved to use two distinct strategies to acquire social rank: dominance and prestige (e.g., Cheng, Tracy, Foulsham, Kingstone, & Henrich, 2013; Henrich & Gil-White, 2001). Dominance is characterized by the use of aggression to induce fear and coerced followership, whereas prestige involves the display of expertise and knowledge to gain admiration and freely chosen deference. Little is known, however, about the factors that influence follower preferences for these different kinds of leadership. We propose that group conflict dynamics contribute to follower preferences, such that followers exhibit a stronger preference for dominant leaders during intergroup conflict, due to these leaders’ willingness to use aggression against outgroups, and a stronger preference for prestigious leaders during intragroup conflict, due to prestigious leaders’ perceived ability to resolve conflicts. We conducted three pre-registered studies (N = 979) to test this account. Studies 1-3 manipulated perceptions of group conflict using hypothetical scenarios and assessed follower preferences for dominant and prestigious leadership in each situation. Results supported our hypotheses, showing that followers preferred dominant leaders during intergroup, compared to intragroup, conflict; and prestigious leaders during intragroup, compared to intergroup, conflict. In Study 3 we further found that these preferences are partly driven by the different group goals that become salient during each kind of conflict. Finally, in a fourth pre-registered study we tested two hypotheses emerging from these findings: (1) Dominant and prestigious leaders should strategically manipulate followers’ perceptions of conflicts so as to make their own leadership style seem more effective, and (2) These manipulations should be observable in the language leaders use when speaking to followers. Using archival data from U.S. presidential speeches, Study 4 provided initial evidence to support these hypotheses: presidents high in dominance and prestige (based on ratings made by expert U.S. historians) used distinctive language in their State of the Union Addresses potentially to increase the salience of the group conflicts for which their own leadership style is preferred. Together, these studies provide new insights into how group context and follower preferences work together to influence dominant and prestigious leaders’ status acquisition.
On a generalization of the iterative soft-thresholding algorithm for the case of non-separable penalty

description: An explicit algorithm for the minimization of an $\ell_1$ penalized least squares functional, with non-separable $\ell_1$ term, is proposed. Each step in the iterative algorithm requires four matrix vector multiplications and a single simple projection on a convex set (or equivalently thresholding). Convergence is proven and a 1/N convergence rate is derived for the functional. In the special case where the matrix in the $\ell_1$ term is the identity (or orthogonal), the algorithm reduces to the traditional iterative soft-thresholding algorithm. In the special case where the matrix in the quadratic term is the identity (or orthogonal), the algorithm reduces to a gradient projection algorithm for the dual problem. By replacing the projection with a simple proximity operator, other convex non-separable penalties than those based on an $\ell_1$-norm can be handled as well.

description: We prove that a monomorphic functor $F:Comp\to Comp$ with finite supports is epimorphic, continuous, and its maximal $\emptyset$-modification $F^\circ$ preserves intersections. This implies that a monomorphic functor $F:Comp\to Comp$ of finite degree $deg F\le n$ preserves (finite-dimensional) compact ANR's if the spaces $F\emptyset$, $F^\circ\emptyset$, and $Fn$ are finite-dimensional ANR's. This improves a known result of Basmanov.

Origins of dehumanization : infants' goal attribution to linguistic in-group and out-group members
Creators: name: Yuen, Francis
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Research in the past two decades has found evidence for dehumanization in both adults and children; however, its developmental origins – that is, whether young infants already possess the tendency to dehumanize others – has yet to be investigated. The present study examined whether 11-month-old infants already dehumanize out-group members by denying out-group others of certain mental states, a common measure of dehumanization in adults and children. To do so, the study examined infants’ attribution of goals, a basic mental state infants readily attribute to human agents. Sixty-two primarily English-hearing infants watched videos in which a female experimenter, either speaking in English or Spanish, reached for one of two objects. At test, the two objects switched places, and infants’ looking times were measured as the experimenter either reached for the same object or a different object. Infants who watched the English speaker were surprised, and thus looked longer, when she reached for a different object, suggesting that they attributed a goal of the original object to the English speaker. By contrast, infants watched both types of reaches equally if they saw the Spanish speaker. Exploratory analyses examined the impact of age and language exposure on infants’ goal attribution to in-group and out-group members. These findings suggest that infants as young as 11 months of age may already show the tendency to deny out-group others of certain mental states. We discuss the implications of these findings as it relates to the nature of dehumanization and the emergence of intergroup bias.

description: A quadratic semigroup algebra is an algebra over a field given by the generators $x_1,...,x_n$ and a finite set of quadratic relations each of which either has the shape $x_jx_k=0$ or the shape $x_jx_k=x_lx_m$. We prove that a quadratic semigroup algebra given by $n$ generators and $d\leq \frac{n^2+n}{4}$ relations is always infinite dimensional. This strengthens the Golod--Shafarevich estimate for the above class of algebras. Our main result however is that for every $n$, there is a finite dimensional quadratic semigroup algebra with $n$ generators and $δ_n$ relations, where $δ_n$ is the first integer greater than $\frac{n^2+n}{4}$. This shows that the above Golod-Shafarevich type estimate for semigroup algebras is sharp.

description: A filling curve $γ$ on a based surface $S$ determines a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism $P(γ)$ of $S$ via the process of "point-pushing along $γ$." We consider the relationship between the self-intersection number $i(γ)$ of $γ$ and the dilatation of $P(γ)$; our main result is that the dilatation is bounded between $(i(γ)+1)^{1/5}$ and $9^{i(γ)}$. We also bound the least dilatation of any pseudo-Anosov in the point-pushing subgroup of a closed surface and prove that this number tends to infinity with genus. Lastly, we investigate the minimal entropy of any pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism obtained by pushing along a curve with self-intersection number $k$ and show that, for a closed surface, this number grows like $\log(k)$.

Gauge-independence of gluon spin in the nucleon and its evolution

description: In recent papers, we have established the existence of gauge-invariant decomposition of nucleon spin, each term of which can be related to known high-energy deep-inelastic-scattering observables. A subtlety remains, however, for the intrinsic spin part of gluons at the quantum level. In fact, it was sometimes claimed that the evolution of gluon spin depends on the gauge choice and its physical interpretation makes sense only in the light-cone gauge. In the present paper, we will demonstrate explicitly that the gluon spin operator appearing in our decomposition evolves gauge-independently and that it properly reproduces the familiar evolution equation for the 1st moments of polarized quark and gluon distributions obtained with the Altarelli-Parisi method, which cannot directly be checked by the standard operator expansion method.

description: We study self-propulsion of a half-metal coated colloidal particle under laser irradiation. The motion is caused by self-thermophoresis: i.e. absorption of laser at the metal-coated side of the particle creates local temperature gradient which in turn drives the particle by thermophoresis. To clarify the mechanism, temperature distribution and a thermal slip flow field around a micro-scale Janus particle are measured for the first time. With measured temperature drop across the particle, the speed of self-propulsion is corroborated with the prediction based on accessible parameters. As an application for driving micro-machine, a micro-rotor heat engine is demonstrated.

Topological Order and Degenerate Singular Value Spectrum in Two-Dimensional Dimerized Quantum Heisenberg Model

description: We study the connection between topological order and degeneracy of the singular value spectrum by explicitly solving the two-dimensional dimerized quantum Heisenberg model in the form of tensor product state ansatz. Based on the ground state solution, we find non-zero topological entanglement entropy at the frustrated regime. It indicates a possible topological phase. Furthermore, we find that the singular value spectrum associated with each link in tensor product state is doubly degenerate only in this phase. Degeneracy of the singular value spectrum is robust against various types of perturbations, in accordance with our expectation for topological order. Our results support the connection among topological order, long range entanglement and the dominant degenerate singular values. In the context of tensor product state ansatz, the numerical evaluation of singular value spectrum costs far less computation power than the one for topological entanglement entropy. Our results provide a more viable way to numerically identify the topological order for the generic frustrated systems.

description: Complex systems are very often organized under the form of networks where nodes and edges are embedded in space. Transportation and mobility networks, Internet, mobile phone networks, power grids, social and contact networks, neural networks, are all examples where space is relevant and where topology alone does not contain all the information. Characterizing and understanding the structure and the evolution of spatial networks is thus crucial for many different fields ranging from urbanism to epidemiology. An important consequence of space on networks is that there is a cost associated to the length of edges which in turn has dramatic effects on the topological structure of these networks. We will expose thoroughly the current state of our understanding of how the spatial constraints affect the structure and properties of these networks. We will review the most recent empirical observations and the most important models of spatial networks. We will also discuss various processes which take place on these spatial networks, such as phase transitions, random walks, synchronization, navigation, resilience, and disease spread.

 This project note describes the annotation and glossing conventions as they apply to the Public DGS Corpus. In many aspects, they are identical to the annotation guidelines used in the DGS-Korpus project. However, not all aspects dealt with in the annotation show in Public Corpus. E.g. our annotation differentiates between different word forms by using qualifiers whereas the Public Corpus annotation just marks tokens as deviating from the citation form.
 In addition to explaining the annotation in translation and of mouthings, segmentation and lemmatisation, this texts explains specific approaches such as double glossing, double-token tags and lists special glosses used in the Public DGS Corpus. Glosses as well as some tokens are hyperlinked into the actual data, so the reader is invited to view both the original video as well as the annotation. The first appendix provides an overview of all symbols and gloss categories while the second lists the fingerspelling forms as used in DGS.

description: We present a comprehensive analysis of the spacetime structure and thermodynamics of $(1+1)-$dimensional black holes in a noncommutative framework. It is shown that a wider variety of solutions are possible than the commutative case considered previously in the literature. As expected, the introduction of a minimal length $\sqrtθ$ cures singularity pathologies that plague the standard two-dimensional general relativistic case, where the latter solution is recovered at large length scales. Depending on the choice of input parameters (black hole mass $M$, cosmological constant $Λ$, etc...), black hole solutions with zero, up to six, horizons are possible. The associated thermodynamics allows for the either complete evaporation, or the production of black hole remnants.

Cultural differences in dream emotions between Japanese and Chinese college students
Creators: name: Yoshioka, Yui
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2023

description: The present study aimed to examine differences in dream emotions between Japanese and Chinese. 206 Japanese college students and 248 Chinese college students completed questionnaires such as parts of the Manheim Dream Questionnaire (MADRE) (Schredl et al., 2014) , descriptions of recent impressive dreams, and subjective dream emotional ratings of 8 emotions. Dream descriptions were analyzed using a developed version of the Structural Dream Analysis (Roesler, 2018b). The results showed that there are statistically significant differences in the dream emotions experienced by Japanese and Chinese college students. Chinese college students experienced more positive emotions such as joy/happiness, contentment, and love, and more anger in their dreams than Japanese college students. Japanese college students experienced more negative emotions such as anxiety/fear and confusion/shock than their Chinese college students. These differences were interpreted as reflecting cultural characteristics such as interpersonal relationships and emotional expressions unique to the country. The results of this study would support the continuity hypothesis of dreams.

description: Background: Routine urine culture testing is not recommended for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs). As a result, the antibiotic resistance patterns or the organisms causing UTIs are not adequately reflected in routine data. We studied the sensitivity of Escherichia coli (E. coli) to trimethoprim (TMP) and to cotrimoxazole (i.e., trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, TMP/SMX) in community-acquired UTI and compared the findings with the resistance data of the Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (ARS). Methods: General practitioners and internists in private practice prospectively recruited all of their adult patients with symptoms of a urinary tract infection from May 2015 to February 2016. Urine specimens from all patients were tested (including urine culture testing and antibiotic susceptibility) and infections were defined as uncomplicated or complicated UTIs. Results: 1245 participants from 58 medical practices were enrolled in the study. Pathogenic organisms were found in the urine of 877 patients, of whom 74.5% had E. coli infections. Among the E.-coli-positive UTIs, 52.4% were classified as uncomplicated and 47.6% as complicated. The prevalence of E. coli that was resistant to TMP and to TMP/SMX in uncomplicated UTIs was 15.2% and 13.0%, respectively, compared to 25.3% and 24.4%, respectively, from all UTIs in ARS in 2015. Study participants who had previously taken antibiotics had the highest prevalence of E. coli resistance (30.9%), followed by those who had two or more UTIs within the past six months (28.9%). Conclusion: E. coli with resistance to TMP was significantly less prevalent among the study patients with uncomplicated UTIs than in the routine data of the ARS. Accordingly, TMP should still be considered as an option for the treatment of uncomplicated UTIs. TMP/SMX is considered the agent of second choice because of its side effects. Surveillance systems based on routine data do not yield a representative sample for the evaluation of the resistance situation in patients with uncomplicated UTIs.
Towards understanding and mitigating memory-access challenges in computing systems

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: In an era of hardware diversity, the management of applications' allocated memory is a complex task that can have significant performance repercussions. Non-uniformity in the memory hierarchy, along with heterogeneity and asymmetry of chip designs, make the costs of memory accesses unpredictable if the allocated memory is not managed carefully. Poor memory allocation and placement on symmetric, non-uniform memory access (NUMA) server systems can cause interconnect link congestion and memory controller contention, which can drastically impact performance. Furthermore, asymmetric systems consisting of CPU and GPU cores suffer similarly depending on how memory is allocated and what types of cores are accessing it. Furthermore, modern chip designs are integrating compute units into the memory modules to bring compute closer to memory and eliminate the high costs of transferring data. Hence, accessing memory efficiently is becoming increasingly challenging as systems evolve toward heterogeneity. Our contribution is a detailed analysis and insight into software and hardware memory management techniques on modern symmetric server-class and asymmetric heterogeneous processors consisting of integrated CPU and GPU cores, and to recently commercially available Processing In Memory (PIM) systems. In particular, we examine three types of systems that are affected by memory access bottlenecks. First, we look at NUMA systems, then integrated CPU-GPU systems, and finally PIM systems. We analyze these systems and suggest possible solutions to mitigate memory access issues. For NUMA systems, we propose a holistic memory management algorithm that intelligently distributes memory pages to reduce congestion and improve performance. Then, we provide a detailed analysis of memory management methods on integrated CPU-GPU systems focusing on performance and functionality trade-offs. Our goal is to expose the performance impact of memory management techniques and assess the viability and advantage of running applications with complex behaviors on such integrated CPU-GPU systems. Finally, we examine PIM systems with a case study of image decoding, which is a critical stage for many deep learning applications. We show that the extreme compute scalability of PIM systems can be utilized to accelerate image decoding with performance potential that can surpass CPUs and GPUs.

description: The study of anxiety traits and their relationship with emotions in dreaming is gaining special relevance in recent times. One instrument that measures the level of sleep anxiety and emotional valence in dreams is the DSEA (Dream and Sleep Emotions and Anxiety) questionnaire. This questionnaire has two different scales, one for sleep anxiety (S) and one for dream anxiety (D), although reliability and validity analyzes have not yet been carried out in either of them. The aim of the current study was to obtain evidence of the two scales of DSEA reliability and internal structural validity. With a sample of 1058 participants, correlations between DSEA with other anxiety and emotional valence questionnaires have been calculated. Also, one confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for each scale was performed. Results showed significant moderated and high correlations with other anxiety scales and adequate goodness of fit indices in CFA, which support the underlying constructs. Consequently, the results of DSEA validation were sufficient for its use in any study with deals with sleep and dreaming anxiety, and emotions. An English version of the DSEA questionnaire is included.

description: A simple effective model for a description of magnetically ordered insulators is analysed. The tight binding Hamiltonian consists of the effective on-site interaction (U) and intersite magnetic exchange interactions (Jz, Jxy) between nearest-neighbours. The phase diagrams of this model have been determined within the variational approach, which treats the on-site interaction term exactly and the intersite interactions within the mean-field approximation. We show that, depending on the values of interaction parameters and the electron concentration, the system can exhibit not only homogeneous phases: (anti-)ferromagnetic (F) and nonordered (NO), but also phase separated states (PS: F-NO).

Dreams and dream work of older adults in transition: A review of the literature
Creators: name: Hinojosa, Tamara J.
Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2023

description: Older adults face unique life transitions related to retirement from paid work, relocation of residence to higher levels of care, and bereavement/end-of-life. Research exploring dream content and dream work for older adults can facilitate understanding about their unconscious experiences and emotions, can promote greater understanding about their mental health needs, and support dream work methods that enhance well-being for older adults in transition. Although studies in this area are minimal, there is more research about the transitions of bereavement and death for older adults as compared to research in the areas of retirement and relocation of residence for older adults. Dream research of the bereaved indicate the importance of dreams to facilitate the grieving process and to maintain a sense of connection with deceased loved ones. Studies about end-of-life dreams share common themes related to taking a journey and a sense of deceased loved ones waiting nearby. These studies also highlight dream content that expands across the entirety of life and may prompt reflection of unresolved issues. Implications for scholars and practitioners include research methods that promote continued rigor in the field and empirically based guidelines when providing dream work services to older adults in transition.

description: The use of video-imaging data for in-line process monitoring applications has become popular in industry. In this framework, spatio-temporal statistical process monitoring methods are needed to capture the relevant information content and signal possible out-of-control states. Video-imaging data are characterized by a spatio-temporal variability structure that depends on the underlying phenomenon, and typical out-of-control patterns are related to events that are localized both in time and space. In this article, we propose an integrated spatio-temporal decomposition and regression approach for anomaly detection in video-imaging data. Out-of-control events are typically sparse, spatially clustered and temporally consistent. The goal is not only to detect the anomaly as quickly as possible (“when”) but also to locate it in space (“where”). The proposed approach works by decomposing the original spatio-temporal data into random natural events, sparse spatially clustered and temporally consistent anomalous events, and random noise. Recursive estimation procedures for spatio-temporal regression are presented to enable the real-time implementation of the proposed methodology. Finally, a likelihood ratio test procedure is proposed to detect when and where the anomaly happens. The proposed approach was applied to the analysis of high-sped video-imaging data to detect and locate local hot-spots during a metal additive manufacturing process.
Probing non-Abelian statistics with Majorana fermion interferometry in spin-orbit-coupled semiconductors

description: The list of quantum mechanical systems with non-Abelian statistics has recently been expanded by including generic spin-orbit-coupled semiconductors e.g., InAs) in proximity to a s-wave superconductor. Demonstration of the anyonic statistics using Majorana fermion interferometry in this system is a necessary first step towards topological quantum computation (TQC). However, since all isolated chiral edges that can be created in the semiconductor are charge neutral, it is not clear if electrically controlled interferometry is possible in this system. Here we show that when two isolated chiral Majorana edges are brought into close contact, the resultant interface supports charge current, enabling electrically controlled Majorana fermion interferometry in the semiconductor structure. Such interferometry experiments on the semiconductor are analogous to similar interferometry experiments on the $ν=5/2$ fractional quantum Hall systems and on the surface of a 3D strong topological insulator, illustrating the usefulness of the 2D semiconductor heterostructure as a suitable TQC platform. In particular, we proposed Majorana interferometers may be the most direct method for establishing non-Abelian braiding statistics in topological superconductors.

Communicating research : internet users’ comprehension and perceptions of video abstracts in the social sciences
Creators: name: Li, Alice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: In recent years, there has been an increase in research exploring how people comprehend and perceive scientific research videos, also called video abstracts (VAs). However, research on the interactions with social science VAs is limited, resulting in missed opportunities to inform the design of social sciences VAs and enhance understanding of social science research. We conducted a randomized between-subjects experiment (N = 290) investigating the effect of social sciences VA presentation (slideshow and animation style videos) on comprehension and pre-and post-task topic perceptions (interest, knowledge, difficulty) of Amazon Mechanical Turk viewers. A pilot study tested the instruments of the main study. Results showed six findings: 1) There were comprehension differences between VAs; 2) There were no comprehension differences between slideshow and animation VAs; 3) A shorter video length and participants having a high school degree or less predicted higher comprehension scores; 4) There were pre-task topic differences between VAs; 5) Participants with graduate level degrees rated their pre-and post-task topic interest, topic knowledge, and topic difficulty higher; and 6) Participants self-reported knowledge gain differed from their actual comprehension scores. Since VAs with varying topics were selected from the YouTube channels of academic journals and were not fully controlled in designs, follow-up research is needed to manipulate the content and designs without affecting the cognitive processing of participants. Despite the limitations, researchers can consider designing shorter VAs to enhance comprehension.

description: This paper puts forth a new large eddy simulation closure modeling strategy for two-dimensional turbulent geophysical flows. This closure modeling approach utilizes approximate deconvolution, which is based solely on mathematical approximations and does not employ additional phenomenological arguments to the model. The new approximate deconvolution model is tested in the numerical simulation of the wind-driven circulation in a shallow ocean basin, a standard prototype of more realistic ocean dynamics. The model employs the barotropic vorticity equation driven by a symmetric double-gyre wind forcing, which yields a four-gyre circulation in the time mean. The approximate deconvolution model yields the correct four-gyre circulation structure predicted by a direct numerical simulation, on a coarser mesh but at a fraction of the computational cost. This first step in the numerical assessment of the new model shows that approximate deconvolution could represent a viable tool for under-resolved computations in the large eddy simulation of more realistic turbulent geophysical flows.

Changes over the night in REM-sleep microstructure. A hypothesis of similarity to changes in dream features reported in the literature
Creators: name: Barcaro, Umberto

Publisher: name: International Journal of Dream Research
Year: 2023

description: The research aimed at a quantitative description of the changes in REM-sleep microstructure throughout the night. For this purpose, sleep recordings available on the public “PhysioNet” website were analyzed from a chronobiological perspective. This approach was suggested by the fact that two important properties of REM sleep determine its microstructure: the alternation between phasic and tonic microstates, and the presence of Slow Eye Movements in addition to Rapid Eye Movements. Although the examined recordings did not include data about dreams, a significant result of our analyses was the close similarity between the observed highly statistically significant changes in the microstructure and changes in basic dream features that are amply reported in the literature, including recall, word count, vividness and emotional content.

description: The extremal Kerr black hole with the angular momentum J is conjectured to be dual to CFT with central charges c_L=c_R=12J. However, the central charge in the right sector remains to be explicitly derived so far. In order to investigate this issue, we introduce new near horizon limits of (near) extremal Kerr and five-dimensional Myers-Perry black holes. We obtain Virasoro algebras as asymptotic symmetries and calculate the central charges associated with them. One of them is equivalent to that of the previous studies, and the other is non-zero, but still the order of near extremal parameter. Redefining the algebras to take the standard form, we obtain a finite value as expected by the Kerr/CFT correspondence.
