Community detection in sparse time-varying networks
Creators: name: Slind, Jillian Rae
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Community detection is an important aspect of network analysis that has far-reaching consequences, in particular for biological research. In the study of systems biology, it is important to detect communities in biological networks to identify areas that have a heavy correlation between one another or are significant for biological functions. If one were to model networks that evolved over time, a differential network would be a vital part or product of that analysis. One such network could have an edge between two vertices if there is a significant change in the correlation of expression levels between the two genes that the vertices are designed to model. For this particular network, there are no community detection algorithms that suffice. An analysis of the current community detection algorithms shows that most heuristic-based methods are too simple or have too high a cost for detecting communities on such sparse networks. A prototypical algorithm is presented that is preferential to high weight edges when determining community membership. This algorithm, Weighted Sparse Community Finder or WSCF, is an incremental algorithm that develops community structure from highly-weighted community seeds, which are 3-vertex substructures in the network with a high local modularity. A preliminary analysis of this detection algorithm shows that it is functional on data sets consisting of up to 600 genes, with more on a more powerful machine. The communities detected are different than the ones provided by the benchmark algorithms because of the high precedence placed on higher-weight edges. This prototypical algorithm has the potential for refinement and expansion to provide the ability to find significant results for applications in the field of Systems Biology.

The Role of Emotional Contagion in Risk Communication
Creators: name: Meier, Savannah Jane
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: Communication studies

description: Historically, emotional contagion has been studied in a series of contexts, however, there is little to no research on how contagion impacts risk perceptions. This study attempted to bridge the gap between emotional contagion and risk perceptions, specifically focusing on amplification from the Social Amplification of Risk Framework (SARF). To test these potential relationships, I conducted a 2 × 3 experiment that tested the effects of emotional expressions (fear) and media richness on emotional contagion as well as effects on risk perceptions and sharing intentions. In addition, the effects of individual differences such as expressiveness, susceptibility, and individualistic/collectivistic cultural tendencies were examined. Results found no support for the occurrence of emotional contagion, although there were changes in negative emotions between the pretest and posttest which can be attributed to the description of the risk event used as stimulus (i.e., chemical leak). Effects between changes in negative emotions and risk perceptions emerged. In addition, findings show that collectivism and susceptibility also predicted changes in negative emotions. These findings suggest that multiple processes determine if and when people experience emotional change in response to risk events.

Ultrasound-based approaches to tissue classification for breast and prostate cancer diagnosis
Creators: name: Uniyal, Nishant
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Ultrasound-based cancer diagnosis could improve the current breast and prostate cancer diagnosis methods. In this thesis, an ultrasound-based approach is evaluated as a method for breast and prostate cancer diagnosis. Ultrasound RF time series along with a comprehensive machine learning framework is used for accurate classification of tissue samples. The RF time series method requires only a few seconds of raw ultrasound data with no need for additional instrumentation. The developed method produces cancer probability/likelihood maps which show the probability of the tissue under study being cancerous. These probability maps could provide radiologists with a real-time cancer diagnosis tool which could improve cancer yield and significantly reduce the number of negative biopsies. To prove the utility of ultrasound RF time series as a tissue classification method, an in vivo breast lesion classification study of 22 subjects and an in vivo prostate biopsy core classification study involving 18 subjects is presented in this thesis. A comprehensive machine learning framework with a new semi-supervised learning technique for tissue classification is also presented in this work. An experimental study to substantiate the ultrasound RF time series hypotheses by studying the effects of ultrasound imaging parameters on animal tissue classification is also presented. Using the ultrasound RF time series method and the developed machine learning framework–we calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve to be 85.6% for breast lesion classification and 91.5% for prostate tissue classification. Increasing the frame rate and the length of the time series, and decreasing the imaging depth we observed consistent improvement in tissue classification results for the animal study. The results of this thesis suggest the potential of ultrasound RF time series as a tissue classification method. Ultrasound RF time series along with other ultrasound-based methods could be a valuable and practical addition to the current cancer diagnosis procedures. It has been shown here that a high level of accuracy can be attained using these tools which are non-invasive, inexpensive and readily available to the clinician.
Programming of hepatic gene expression by maternal folic acid and vitamin B12 imbalance
Creators: name: Aljaadi, Abeer Mohammad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Folate is a B-vitamin required for cell growth and division, and its metabolism is linked to vitamin B12 (B12). Food fortification with folic acid (FA) has improved folate status but approximately 5% of Canadian adults, including pregnant women, are B12 deficient. This is concerning because an association between gestational exposure to high maternal folate and low B12 status and greater adiposity and insulin resistance in children has been reported. My thesis examined the effect of developmental exposure to maternal FA/B12 imbalance on programming of liver gene expression in adult offspring using an animal model. Female C57BL/6 mice were fed a high FA/adequate B12 (HFA+B12), high FA/no B12 (HFA-B12), or control diet 6 weeks prior to mating and through pregnancy and lactation. At weaning, offspring mice from each maternal diet group were randomly assigned to receive the control diet or a Western diet (45% fat, 35% carbohydrate) for 20 weeks (n=6 male mice/group) or for 40 weeks (n=6 female mice/group). Serum folate and B12 concentrations were quantified by microbiological assays. Relative mRNA expression of key enzymes in methyl metabolism in liver from adult offspring was quantified by real-time PCR. Male offspring mice from dams fed the HFA-B12 diet had lower Cbs and Mthfr mRNA expression and this was unaffected by post weaning diet. Male offspring mice fed the Western diet had higher Mtr mRNA expression compared to control-fed offspring mice, regardless of maternal diet. Female offspring from dams fed the HFA-B12 diet had lower Mtr mRNA expression and this was not affected by post weaning diet. Moreover, female offspring from dams fed the HFA-B12 diet had higher Mthfr mRNA expression when they were fed the Western diet. No effect of maternal and post weaning diets was observed for serum folate and B12 concentrations. In summary, developmental exposure to maternal FA/B12 imbalance was found to program expression of genes involved in folate and methionine metabolism in the liver of adult offspring mice. The functional consequences of this effect requires further investigation in order to consider B12 screening of pregnant women and to inform the debate on whether B12 fortification should be considered.

Model and inference issues related to exposure-disease relationships
Creators: name: Xing, Li
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The goal of my thesis is to make contributions on some statistical issues related to epidemiological investigations of exposure-disease relationships. Firstly, when the exposure data contain missing values and measurement errors, we build a Bayesian hierarchical model for relating disease to a potentially harmful exposure while accommodating these flaws. The traditional imputation method, called the group-based exposure assessment method, uses the group exposure mean to impute the individual exposure in that group, where the group indicator indicates that the exposure levels tend to vary more across groups and less within groups. We compare our method with the traditional method through simulation studies, a real data application, and theoretical calculation. We focus on cohort studies where a logistic disease model is appropriate and where group exposure means can be treated as fixed effects. The results show a variety of advantages of the fully Bayesian approach, and provide recommendations on situations where the traditional method may not be suitable to use. Secondly, we investigate a number of issues surrounding inference and the shape of the exposure-disease relationship. Presuming that the relationship can be expressed in terms of regression coefficients and a shape parameter, we investigate how well the shape can be inferred in settings which might typify epidemiologic investigations and risk assessment. We also consider a suitable definition of the average effect of exposure, and investigate how precisely this can be inferred. We also examine the extent to which exposure measurement error distorts inference about the shape of the exposure-disease relationship. All these investigations require a family of exposure-disease relationships indexed by a shape parameter. For this purpose, we employ a family based on the Box-Cox transformation. Thirdly, matching is commonly used to reduce confounding due to lack of randomization in the experimental design. However, ignoring measurement errors in matching variables will introduce systematically biased matching results. Therefore, we recommend to fit a trajectory model to the observed covariate and then use the estimated true values from the model to do the matching. In this way, we can improve the quality of matching in most cases.

Automated fibre segmentation in micro CT images of paper
Creators: name: Sharma, Yash
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Characterizing the structure of paper products made from Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) pulp after Low Consistency refining is a vital step to understanding the strengthening mechanisms of NBSK fibres as well as the effect of refining on the fibre morphology. X-ray micro tomographic (µCT) imaging coupled with advanced image analysis enables the characterization of the internal structure of paper at a very high resolution in 3D. In this work, a novel algorithm has been developed to isolate individual papermaking fibres in µCT images of paper handsheets as a first step to characterize the paper structure. The three step fibre segmentation algorithm segments the papermaking fibres by (i) tracking the hollow inside the fibres via a modified connected component methodology, (ii) extracting the fibre walls using a distance transform and (iii) labeling the fibres through collapsed sections by a final refinement step. Further, post processing algorithms have been developed to calculate the length, coarseness and relative bonded area of the fibres thus segmented. The algorithms have been validated by segmenting hollow aluminum tubes in test geometry similar in complexity to the paper structure. The capabilities and limitations of the algorithms have been evaluated by segmenting 2484 papermaking fibres within a 1mm x 1mm handsheet sample manufactured from NBSK pulp. The Fibre Segmentation algorithm is the first ever reported method for the automated and robust segmentation of the tortuous 3D morphology of papermaking fibres within 3D images of paper handsheets. The segmented structure thus obtained provides the capabilities to calculate several important properties of paper. The fibre segmentation algorithm is a unique and powerful tool to analyze the paper structure and provide novel insights into the papermaking process.

What do they mean by skilled? A critical discourse analysis of skills policies for apprenticeship in Canada and British Columbia: 1980-2010
Creators: name: Goedbloed, Dana Lynne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This study contributes significantly to scholarly debates about skill and its relationship to apprenticeship education in British Columbia and Canada during the period 1980-2010. Apprenticeship has long been viewed as a way of filling gaps for skilled workers in Canada and British Columbia. Political, economic and ideological perspectives of both federal and provincial governments of skills policies in apprenticeship have resulted in dysfunction and disjunctures at both the development and implementation stages. There is evidence that governments and industry play powerful roles in developing skills policies in apprenticeship, leaving post-secondary institutions to implementation while not respecting their role in training and development. This study takes into account the process, text, production, and implementation of skills policy in apprenticeship. It provides a representation of the complex and messy production and implementation of skill policy in apprenticeship. The rationalization and legitimization of skilled labour shortage and skills development discourses are influenced by globalization, technology, economic fluctuations, prevailing and changing ideologies and power structures. Neoliberalism and human capital theory are prominent in the concept of skill, as is power. A critical examination of texts was completed to identify the contexts of specific political periods, resulting in the identification of the central themes of skilled labour shortages at the development phase and skilled workforce development at the implementation phase. Unemployment, return on investment, industry and training, and barriers and perceptions are significant and contributing discursive themes. Overall the texts show a marked divide between the intentions of skills policy in apprenticeship and the delivery by post-secondary institutions. The intentions of skills policy in apprenticeship appear to be in responding to economic, not social, conditions.

description: Additional file 15: Supplementary Figure 5: Clustering of directly correlated IAP and apoptosis-related transcripts in oysters by experiment. Direct correlations between IAP domain architecture types and apoptosis pathways identified during WGCNA were assessed for individual experiments and compared between experiments using heat map clustering to identify patterns of specific domain architectures that may be associated with specific apoptosis pathways. Results are presented as a heat map showing presence (red) or absence (blue) of correlation between IAP transcripts (y-axis; named for its domain architecture and apoptosis-related transcripts (x-axis), and the experiment in which the correlation was determined. Rather than showing any clustering between specific domain architectures and pathways, transcripts clustered mostly by experiment and not by domain architecture type.

Deafology and cultural rights: Sign language as an idiosyncratic essence of Deaf Culture
Creators: name: Sousa, Filipe Venade
Publisher: name: Diffractions
Year: 2023

description: This study aims to investigate whether the meaning and scope of Deaf Culture is integrated into legal texts. This study sought to demonstrate the legal panorama of Deaf Culture in light of the different approaches of the respective countries, explaining the emergence and evolution of Deaf Culture in sociopolitical and sociolegal literature. The research brought the common assumptions for the configuration of the Deaf Culture which was compared with the doctrines of the respective countries. The methodology used was doctrinal and jurisprudential research to assess the doctrinal position on the subject, as well as the deafological contributions, by and for deaf people, as a way of exposing the treatment given to the demands that involve the protection and promotion of Deaf Culture. The relevance of the research is based on the necessary - and scarce - contributions of Cultural Rights to understanding the legal status of Deaf Culture.

A decisive role for deaf epistemologies: analyzing power/knowledge in critical deaf pedagogy
Creators: name: Skyer, Michael Edmond
Publisher: name: Diffractions
Year: 2023

description: In American Sign Language (ASL), Transgressing the Object IV (2012): Critical Pedagogy depicts deaf women engaging in cinematic critical theory. According to the video-text, transgressing conceptualizes inequities of power and knowledge in deaf education and documents educational interactions about audism (antideaf oppression), sexism, and intersectionality. The women construct individual and collectivist deaf epistemologies that comprise an egalitarian counternarrative depicting critical deaf pedagogy. To interpret these pluralist discourses, I explore a theoretical framework about Deaf Culture in teaching and deaf aesthetics in learning. By doing so, I generate three analytic findings: 1) how culturally-revitalizing deaf pedagogies are established, 2) how power/knowledge is shared in equitable heterarchies, and 3) the benefits of educational interactions with deaf aesthetics, classroom architecture, sign language metaphors, and embodied multimodality. Finally, I describe the decisive role of deaf epistemologies in critical deaf pedagogy and juxtapose my findings against a conceptual framework about deaf peoples self-determination and struggles for legitimation.

Microseismic source inversion in anisotropic media
Creators: name: Leaney, W. Scott
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Sedimentary rocks and shales in particular are known to be anisotropic, sometimes strongly so, and hydraulic fracturing is now common practice in shale plays to enhance the extraction of hydrocarbons. One of the ways to understand the hydraulic fracturing process is through the micro--earthquakes that it generates; it is therefore of interest to study the impact that anisotropy may have on hydraulically induced seismicity. This thesis is concerned with the inclusion of anisotropy into the geophysical forward and inverse problems of microseismic sources. Ray theory is used for the forward problem --- dynamic ray tracing in a medium composed of homogeneous layers with vertical transverse isotropy (VTI) is used and the possibility of qSv triplication is considered. Novel approaches to the inverse problem are introduced, including waveform fitting in the frequency domain to recover the source function as well as moment tensor. Uncertainties in estimated moment tensor components are quantified with multi--variate normal sampling utilizing the full covariance matrix from the linear inversion. A new decomposition of the moment tensor is described that removes the distortions due to anisotropy local to the source and a new way to visualize an earthquake source is also introduced. The impact of anisotropy on moment tensor inversion and decomposition is shown to be significant. Field data recorded by two downhole arrays of multicomponent receivers are analyzed using the new techniques. The event collection suggests a source mechanism dominated by cylindrical dilatation. This is unexpected but is supported by results from another code. Future directions include extensions to lower symmetry forms of anisotropy and application to surface arrays. Preliminary analysis of downhole recordings of aftershocks of the 2008 Mw=7.9 Wenchuan earthquake is shown.
Os Institutos de Surdos dos séculos XVIII e XIX: Centros de Língua Gestual e Cultura Surda

description: A educação pública de surdos a nível mundial surgiu e estruturou-se nos Institutos de surdos dos séculos XVIII e XIX, hoje na sua maioria encerrados. Na atualidade, estes institutos são vistos como anacrónicos e segregadores à luz das teorias da educação inclusiva. Paradoxalmente, quando analisamos a História da Educação de Surdos muitos autores apontam a educação de surdos no referido período como a “Idade de Ouro” deste ramo da educação (Lane 1992; Cantin 2018; Delaporte 2002; Carvalho 2007). O presente artigo tem como objetivo olhar para estes antigos institutos como centros vivos e dinâmicos de desenvolvimento das línguas gestuais que eram transmitidas de geração em geração entre alunos, professores e funcionários Surdos. Por não ser separável língua de cultura, demonstraremos como estes institutos eram também centros de génese, estruturação e divulgação da Cultura Surda. A nossa análise será focada em três Institutos dos séculos XVIII e XIX, o Instituto Nacional de Surdos-Mudos de Paris, o Instituto Público de Surdos-Mudos e Cegos de Manilla em Estocolmo e o Real Instituto de Surdos-Mudos e Cegos de Lisboa, abrangendo um recorte temporal entre 1760 e 1834 e baseada em fontes primárias cotejadas nas bibliotecas e arquivos nacionais dos três países.

International Visual Theatre (IVT): amongst Deaf identity repair processes and emancipatory impulse.
Creators: name: Benvenuto, Andrea
name: Schetrit, Olivier
Publisher: name: Diffractions
Year: 2023

description: The IVT was created in Paris in 1977 by a North American Deaf actor, Alfredo Corrado, and Jean Grémion, a French theater director. The then hegemonic biomedical paradigm of deafness presented it as a malfunction and deaf people as subjects to be repaired. The idea that sign language could be a medium of artistic creation was unthinkable, including for Deaf people. We will start with analyzing the first two creations of the IVT: [ ] (1978) and ][ (1979). These enigmatic titles delimit a territory where the community could express, in the case of the first creation, and an external openness, in the case of the creation. Revealing how self-repair and the relation to others are put at work, these titles invite us to discover what emptiness causes in terms of aesthetic and political challenges. The project of the IVT resulted as an outlet from "hurt identities" (Pollak 1984), a place where one could heal not from a malfunction, but from the damages caused amongst the Deaf by the impulse to repair them. Finally, we will show the leading role of IVT in the emancipatory impetus that will drive the French Deaf political combats in the following decades.

Porquê o termo Língua Gestual Portuguesa?
Creators: name: Carmo, Helena
name: Freire, Maria José
name: Vaz De Carvalho, Paulo
Publisher: name: Diffractions
Year: 2023

description: Língua Gestual Portuguesa é o termo utilizado pela Comunidade Surda para se referir à sua língua preferencial de comunicação (Amaral 1994). Este termo também tem sido utilizado por toda a comunidade académica e científica que investiga esta língua desde o final da década de 70 do século XX (Prata 1980). Recentemente, o uso deste termo foi colocado em questão num artigo de Correia (2020), em que a autora defende que este não será o termo adequado para nomear a língua em questão, propondo “Língua de Sinais Portuguesa” como o termo correto, evocando para o efeito razões históricas e linguísticas. Consideramos, ao contrário da autora supracitada, que o termo adequado para denominar a língua utilizada pela Comunidade Surda[1] Portuguesa é efetivamente “Língua Gestual Portuguesa”. Desta forma, o presente artigo tem como objetivo justificar a correção do uso do termo “Língua Gestual Portuguesa” tendo por base as perspetivas histórica, linguística, sociocultural e legislativa, esperando assim contribuir para uma discussão científica, alicerçada em bases sustentadas, através da crítica hermenêutica de fontes primárias, mas também tendo em conta o sentimento que o termo encerra para a comunidade que a usa, nos seus níveis cultural, linguístico, identitário e legal.

The importance of teaching Deaf Community Cultural Wealth in family-centered sign language curricula
Creators: name: Geer, Leah Caitrin
name: Zarchy, Razi M.
Publisher: name: Diffractions
Year: 2023

description: Foreign language classes typically include cultural components, and signed languages are no exception. This paper describes a family-centered American Sign Language (ASL) curriculum designed specifically for hearing parents with young deaf children and its approach to teaching deaf culture. The authors suggest teaching Deaf Community Cultural Wealth (DCCW) from two perspectives. The first includes asking learners to reflect on their own personal experiences with cultural capital, then providing specific examples of resources for each type of capital from a deaf perspective. The second includes asking families to consider how they can apply each type of cultural capital to raising their deaf child. Families of deaf children are often criticized for their choices, but lessons on Deaf Community Cultural Wealth in family-centered signed language curricula provide the tools to resist this criticism.
