Examining barriers to men's communal orientation
Creators: name: Block, Katharina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Despite western societies’ considerable progress towards gender equality on many fronts, men and women remain divided on the extent to which they adopt care-oriented values and roles. Men tend to embrace basic communal values and traits (i.e., a focus on care and connection with others; Bakan, 1966) to a lesser extent than women do (e.g., Donnelly & Twenge, 2017; Falk & Hermle, 2018). At a more concrete level, men are also underrepresented in communal careers in healthcare, early education, and in domestic roles (HEED; Croft, Schmader, & Block, 2015). In the three empirical chapters of my dissertation, I examine some of the processes that constrain men’s internalization of communal values, and, in turn, how men’s relatively lower communal values have downstream consequences for their engagement with communal careers. Chapter 2 focuses on the role of automatic communal=female stereotypes in curtailing men’s personal identification with communal values. The findings I present suggest that gender differences in identification with communal values are especially large among those who hold such stereotypes, and that retraining men to associate communion with males as a group also increases their personal identification with communal values. Chapter 3, in turn, focuses on understanding gender differences in communion from a developmental perspective. Results from a study of 411 children suggest that, by age six, boys see themselves as less communal than do girls, a difference in fundamental values that also predicts how children envision their future prioritization of career- over family-roles. Given such early gender differences in communal values, Chapter 4 focuses on understanding how relatively low communal values, in conjunction with more external norms, might deter men from taking on communal careers. Findings suggest that communal values and the overrepresentation of women in HEED both play important roles in deterring men from HEED careers.
Propagation of gravitational waves in multimetric gravity

description: We discuss the propagation of gravitational waves in a recently discussed class of theories containing N >= 2 metric tensors and a corresponding number of standard model copies. Using the formalism of gauge-invariant linear perturbation theory we show that all gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light. We then employ the Newman-Penrose formalism to show that two to six polarizations of gravitational waves may exist, depending on the parameters entering the equations of motion. This corresponds to E(2) representations N_2, N_3, III_5 and II_6. We finally apply our general discussion to a recently presented concrete multimetric gravity model and show that it is of class N_2, i.e., it allows only two tensor polarizations, as it is the case for general relativity. Our results provide the theoretical background for tests of multimetric gravity theories using the upcoming gravitational wave experiments.

description: The temperature dependence of the critical stress of R→B19’ transformation in NiTi shape memory alloys remains unclear due to the difficulties in precisely identifying the phase constitution and acquiring sole R phase. Here we investigate the thermally- and stress-induced martensitic transformation in a near-equiatomic nanocrystalline NiTi alloy. In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction is used to identify the phase evolution such that the temperature window for sole R phase is firmly determined. We find that the temperature dependence of R→B19’ is negative (−0.2 MPa/K) in our alloy, in sharp contrast to 3–5 MPa/K reported. Possible reasons for the discrepancies are discussed. Negative temperature-dependence of stress-induced R→B19’ transformation was discovered for the first time in NiTi alloys, being in sharp contrast to previous reports. This calls for a revisit of such transformation.

description: We present the chromospheric activity (CA) levels, metallicities and full space motions for 41 F, G, K and M dwarf stars in 36 wide binary systems. Thirty-one of the binaries, contain a white dwarf component. In such binaries the total age can be estimated by adding the cooling age of the white dwarf to an estimate of the progenitor's main sequence lifetime. To better understand how CA correlates to stellar age, 14 cluster member stars were also observed. Our observations demonstrate for the first time that in general CA decays with age from 50 Myr to at least 8 Gyr for stars with 1.0 < V-I < 2.4. However, little change occurs in CA level for stars with V-I < 1.0 between 1 Gyr and 5 Gyr, consistent with the results of Pace et al. (2009). Our sample also exhibits a negative correlation between stellar age and metallicity, a positive correlation between stellar age and W space velocity component and the W velocity dispersion increases with age. Finally, the population membership of these wide binaries is examined based upon their U, V, W kinematics, metallicity and CA. We conclude that wide binaries are similar to field and cluster stars in these respects. More importantly, they span a much more continuous range in age and metallicity than is afforded by nearby clusters.

description: Numerous common genetic variants that influence plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglyceride distributions have been identified via genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, whether or not these associations are age-dependent has largely been overlooked.We conducted an association study and meta-analysis in more than 22,000 European Americans between 49 previously identified GWAS variants and the three lipid traits, stratified by age (males: <50 or ≥50 years of age; females: pre-or postmenopausal). For each variant, a test of heterogeneity was performed between the two age strata and significant Phet values were used as evidence of age-specific genetic effects. We identified seven associations in females and eight in males that displayed suggestive heterogeneity by age (Phet < 0.05). The association between rs174547 (FADS1) and LDL-C in males displayed the most evidence for heterogeneity between age groups (Phet = 1.74E-03, I2 = 89.8), with a significant association in older males (P = 1.39E-06) but not younger males (P = 0.99). However, none of the suggestive modifying effects survived adjustment for multiple testing, highlighting the challenges of identifying modifiers of modest SNP-trait associations despite large sample sizes.

description: We study a general class of PageRank optimization problems which consist in finding an optimal outlink strategy for a web site subject to design constraints. We consider both a continuous problem, in which one can choose the intensity of a link, and a discrete one, in which in each page, there are obligatory links, facultative links and forbidden links. We show that the continuous problem, as well as its discrete variant when there are no constraints coupling different pages, can both be modeled by constrained Markov decision processes with ergodic reward, in which the webmaster determines the transition probabilities of websurfers. Although the number of actions turns out to be exponential, we show that an associated polytope of transition measures has a concise representation, from which we deduce that the continuous problem is solvable in polynomial time, and that the same is true for the discrete problem when there are no coupling constraints. We also provide efficient algorithms, adapted to very large networks. Then, we investigate the qualitative features of optimal outlink strategies, and identify in particular assumptions under which there exists a "master" page to which all controlled pages should point. We report numerical results on fragments of the real web graph.

description: Based on high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) spectra analysis of 90 solar type stars, we have established several new metallicity calibrations in Teff range [5600, 6500] K based on red spectra with the wavelength range of 560-880 nm. The new metallicity calibrations are applied to determine the metallicity of solar analogs selected from SDSS spectra. There is a good consistent result with the adopted value presented in SDSS-DR7 and a small scatter of 0.26 dex for stars with S/N > 50 is obtained. This study provides a new reliable way to derive the metallicity for solar-like stars with low resolution spectra. In particular, our calibrations are useful for finding metal-rich stars, which are missing in SSPP.

The mt genome is constituted of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes) and a control region. Phylogenetic analysis based on the complete mt genome showed that the unidentified turtle had the mt genome closely related to that of T. s. elegans, though it had distinct morphology compared to T. s. elegans.

description: Several novel benzimidazolium-based ionic liquids (BzIm ILs) with free and acetyl protected glucopyranoside unit were synthesized and used as ligand for Pd-catalyzed environment-friendly Suzuki reaction. The BzIm ILs with the acetyl protection shows the highest activity, probably because the sugar has a large steric hindrance and acetyl groups can coordinate with Pd. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of Pd(OAc)2/Glc-BzIm ILs free glucopyranoside indicate that Pd-C is formed. The Pd nanoparticles protected by ILs with a size of 5.3 (0.6) nm are considered to be real active species. A series of fluorene core arylfluorene derivatives were prepared with isolated yields above 90%.
The most general cosmological dynamics for ELKO Matter Fields

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Not long ago, the definition of eigenspinors of charge-conjugation belonging to a special Wigner class has lead to the unexpected theoretical discovery of a form of matter with spin 1/2 and mass dimension 1, called ELKO matter field; ELKO matter fields defined in flat spacetimes have been later extended to curved and twisted spacetimes, in order to include in their dynamics the coupling to gravitational fields possessing both metric and torsional degrees of freedom: the inclusion of non-commuting spinorial covariant derivatives allows for the introduction of more general dynamical terms influencing the behaviour of ELKO matter fields. In this paper, we shall solve the theoretical problem of finding the most general dynamics for ELKO matter, and we will face the phenomenological issue concerning how the new dynamical terms may affect the behaviour of ELKO matter; we will see that new effects will arise for which the very existence of ELKO matter will be endangered, due to the fact that ELKOs will turn incompatible with the cosmological principle. Thus we have that anisotropic universes must be taken into account if ELKOs are to be considered in their most general form.

description: We have precisely determined the ground state phase diagram of the quantum spin-1 bilinear-biquadratic Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice using the tensor renormalization group method. We find that the ferromagnetic, ferroquadrupolar, and a large part of the antiferromagnetic phases are stable against quantum fluctuations. However, around the phase where the ground state is antiferroquadrupolar ordered in the classical limit, quantum fluctuations suppress completely all magnetic orders, leading to a plaquette order phase which breaks the lattice symmetry but preserves the spin SU(2) symmetry. On the evidence of our numerical results, the quantum phase transition between the antiferromagnetic phase and the plaquette phase is found to be either a direct second order or a very weak first order transition.

Witnessing quantum discord in 2 x N systems

description: Bipartite states with vanishing quantum discord are necessarily separable and hence positive partial transpose (PPT). We show that 2 x N states satisfy additional property: the positivity of their partial transposition is recognized with respect to the canonical factorization of the original density operator. We call such states SPPT (for strong PPT). Therefore, we provide a natural witness for a quantum discord: if a 2 x N state is not SPPT it must contain nonclassical correlations measured by quantum discord. It is an analog of the celebrated Peres-Horodecki criterion: if a state is not PPT it must be entangled.

A contribuição de Gabriel Grisley para o conhecimento das plantas de Portugal

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Gabriel Grisley, químico, médico e botânico alemão, veio para Portugal na década de 1610. Em Lisboa, perto da foz do rio Xabregas, criou um horto botânico que tinha privilégio régio. Percorreu o reino estudando a flora espontânea e cultivada. Publicou duas obras - Desenganos para a medicina (1656), onde enumera e descreve as plantas que cultivava no horto de Xabregas, e Viridarium lusitanicum (1661), onde enumera as plantas que cresciam na região de Lisboa. A partir dos nomes comuns e dos polinomes latinos, e recorrendo a bibliografia especializada, foi possível identificar, com razoável certeza, a maioria das plantas para as quais Grisley indica o nome comum. Em termos de plantas cultivadas no reino, concluiu-se que já se cultivavam todos os cereais modernos, exceto o arroz. É mencionada a batata-doce e o tomate, mas não a batata. Nas árvores de fruto, são mencionadas todas as espécies modernas, incluindo a bananeira e a tamareira. Relativamente às infestantes atuais, já tinham chegado a cana, a piteira e o estramónio. Das exóticas medicinais, salienta-se a menção ao dragoeiro, cana-de-açúcar, aloé e tabaco. Relativamente às árvores, é surpreendente a não referência a qualquer pinheiro. As obras de Grisley, relegadas para um injusto esquecimento, contribuem para um melhor conhecimento da História Natural do Portugal de Seiscentos.

description: Inspired by an analogous result of Arnautov about isomorphisms, we prove that all continuous surjective homomorphisms of topological groups f:G-->H can be obtained as restrictions of open continuous surjective homomorphisms f':G'-->H, where G is a topological subgroup of G'. In case the topologies on G and H are Hausdorff and H is complete, we characterize continuous surjective homomorphisms f:G-->H when G has to be a dense normal subgroup of G'. We consider the general case when G is requested to be a normal subgroup of G', that is when f is semitopological - Arnautov gave a characterization of semitopological isomorphisms internal to the groups G and H. In the case of homomorphisms we define new properties and consider particular cases in order to give similar internal conditions which are sufficient or necessary for f to be semitopological. Finally we establish a lot of stability properties of the class of all semitopological homomorphisms.

description: Bacterial cellulose (BC) has interesting properties including high crystallinity, tensile strength, degree of polymerisation, water holding capacity (98%) and an overall attractive 3D nanofibrillar structure. The mechanical and electrochemical properties can be tailored upon incomplete BC dehydration. Under different water contents (100, 80 and 50%), the rheology and electrochemistry of BC were evaluated, showing a progressive stiffening and increasing resistance with lower capacitance after partial dehydration. BC water loss was mathematically modelled for predicting its water content and for understanding the structural changes of post-dried BC. The dehydration of the samples was determined via water evaporation at 37 °C for different diameters and thicknesses. The gradual water evaporation observed was well-described by the model proposed (R
2 up to 0.99). The mathematical model for BC water loss may allow the optimisation of these properties for an intended application and may be extendable for other conditions and purposes.
Studio comparativo per la progettazione, ingegnerizzazione e realizzazione di una fresa per smussi prodotta tramite Laser Metal Deposition con l’implementazione di Functionally Graded Materials.

description: I Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) costituiscono una nuova classe di materiali. All’interno di questi materiali proprietà fisiche, chimiche e strutturali variano in modo graduale lungo una o più direzioni, questi gradienti possono essere ingegnerizzati per migliorare le caratteristiche di un componente ottimizzandole in modo diverso in zone separate del pezzo. In questa ricerca è valutata la fattibilità di una fresa integrale per smussi a 45° prodotta sfruttando l’attuale conoscenza dei processi LMD con l’implementazione di FGM. Impiegando un gradiente da AISI 316L nel corpo dell’utensile a Inconel®718 nel tagliente è possibile diminuire il costo di produzione di una fresa integrale senza comprometterne prestazioni e resistenza all’abrasione. L’uso di simulazioni FEM consente la previsione degli sforzi a cui è sottoposto il componente progettato per la deposizione LMD e le conseguenti deformazioni. Lo sforzo massimo sul tagliente è risultato circa 200 MPa mentre la deformazione massima vale 0.39 μm. Il percorso utensile per la fase di AM considera le tempistiche necessarie alla variazione della concentrazione delle polveri e ottimizza il loro uso evitando cambiamenti repentini di materiale. Si pianifica infine che il pezzo venga lavorato con Wire Electric Discharge Machining (Wire EDM) che permette la precisa rimozione di materiale senza l’inserimento di sforzi residui tipici di lavorazioni di asportazione più tradizionali.

description: Doppler tomography of emission line profiles in low mass X-ray binaries allows us to disentangle the different emission sites and study the structure and variability of accretion disks. We present UVES high-resolution spectroscopic observations of the black hole binary A0620-00 at quiescence.These spectroscopic data constrain the orbital parameters Porb=0.32301405(1) d and K2=437.1+-2.0 km/s. These values, together with the mass ratio q=M2/M1=0.062+-0.010, imply a minimum mass for the compact object of M1(sin i)^3=3.15+-0.10 Msun, consistent with previous works.The H$α$ emission from the accretion disk is much weaker than in previous studies, possibly due to a decrease in disk activity. Doppler imaging of the H$α$ line shows for the first time a narrow component coming from the secondary star, with an observed equivalent width of 1.4+-0.3 Angstroms, perhaps associated to chromospheric activity. Subtracting a K-type template star and correcting for the veiling of the accretion disk yields to an equivalent width of 2.8+-0.3 Angstroms. A bright hot-spot is also detected at the position where the gas stream trajectory intercepts with the accretion disk. The H$α$ flux associated to the secondary star is too large to be powered by X-ray irradiation. It is comparable to those observed in RS CVn binaries with similar orbital periods and, therefore, is probably triggered by the rapid stellar rotation.

description: Accurate and sensitive detection of antibody to SARS-CoV-2 remains an essential component of the pandemic response. Measuring antibody that predicts neutralising activity and the vaccine response is an absolute requirement for laboratory-based confirmatory and reference activity. The viral receptor binding domain (RBD) constitutes the prime target antigen for neutralising antibody. A double antigen binding assay (DABA), providing the most sensitive format has been exploited in a novel hybrid manner employing a solid-phase S1 preferentially presenting RBD, coupled with a labelled RBD conjugate, used in a two-step sequential assay for detection and measurement of antibody to RBD (anti-RBD). This class and species neutral assay showed a specificity of 100% on 825 pre COVID-19 samples and a potential sensitivity of 99.6% on 276 recovery samples, predicting quantitatively the presence of neutralising antibody determined by pseudo-type neutralisation and by plaque reduction. Anti-RBD is also measurable in ferrets immunised with ChadOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine and in humans immunised with both AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines. This assay detects anti-RBD at presentation with illness, demonstrates its elevation with disease severity, its sequel to asymptomatic infection and its persistence after the loss of antibody to the nucleoprotein (anti-NP). It also provides serological confirmation of prior infection and offers a secure measure for seroprevalence and studies of vaccine immunisation in human and animal populations. The hybrid DABA also displays the attributes necessary for the detection and quantification of anti-RBD to be used in clinical practice. An absence of detectable anti-RBD by this assay predicates the need for passive immune prophylaxis in at-risk patients.
Tailoring a smoking cessation intervention for persons with spinal cord injury: informing theory-based recommendations
Creators: name: Wuerstl, Kelsey Rose
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Introduction: Compared to the general population, people with spinal cord injury (SCI) report higher smoking rates, a disproportionate burden of tobacco-related health disparities, and unique circumstances to treatment engagement. Despite these inequities, theory-informed behavioural interventions have not been developed or tailored to support people with SCI to stop smoking. Objective: Use an integrated knowledge translation (IKT) approach, the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW), and the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) to (1) explore factors influencing smoking cessation behaviours among people with SCI, and (2) explore the preferred intervention and implementation options for a smoking cessation intervention for persons with SCI living in British Columbia. Methods: Aligned with an IKT approach, a provincial SCI organization was meaningfully engaged throughout the entire research process. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with people with SCI who have successfully or have tried to stop smoking. To understand the behaviour, barriers and facilitators to smoking cessation were extracted and deductively coded to the TDF and inductively analyzed. To identify preferred intervention options, a behavioural analysis was conducted using the BCW. To identify implementation options, modes of delivery and intervention messengers were extracted. Modes of delivery were deductively coded to the Mode of Delivery Taxonomy, and themes around intervention messengers were constructed. Results: Among the 12 individuals with SCI who were interviewed (7 males; mean age=55.9±9.9yrs), seven had successfully quit smoking, and five had tried to quit but had relapsed. Across the 12 interviews, 138 barriers and 223 facilitators to smoking cessation were extracted. The prominent TDF domains were beliefs about consequences, social influences, environmental context and resources, and behavioural regulation. These domains served as themes in the inductive analysis. Across the four themes, ten subthemes were constructed. All intervention options were identified as potentially relevant. Multiple modes of delivery and intervention messengers were considered important for the delivery of smoking cessation interventions. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that conventional smoking cessation interventions likely fail to address the unique circumstances encountered by persons with SCI, highlighting the need for tailored theory-informed smoking cessation interventions for persons with SCI. Future efforts should focus on tailoring, testing, and implementing real-world interventions.

description: A quartic, self-interacting potential in the induced gravity framework is known to have a pure de Sitter attractor for the homogeneous mode. In order to obtain non-zero slow roll parameters we therefore study the quantum back-reaction of the scalar and the tensor perturbations on such a homogeneous dynamics. The results are then compared with inflationary observables in order to constrain the parameters of the model.

’Tis better to give than receive?’ : exploring the health-related benefits associated with delivering peer support : a mixed methods study
Creators: name: Afshar, Rowshanak
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: BACKGROUND: The effects of peer support (PS) on clinical and psychosocial outcomes has been extensively studied in patients with type 2 diabetes, but only minimally examined in the peer leaders (PLs) who deliver support. This thesis’s objectives are to: examine PLs’ sociodemographic and personality characteristics, assess the clinical and psychological benefits of providing support; and identify strategies to improve PS interventions. METHODS: A sequential explanatory mixed-methods research design approach was utilized. The studies conducted for this thesis were extensions of a larger randomized controlled trial assessing the impact of PS on diabetes-related health outcomes. Fifty-two recruits completed PL training and were matched with participants on schedule availability, gender preference, and geographic proximity. PLs and participants had an initial face-to-face meeting, then weekly phone contacts in the first 3 months and bi-weekly phone contacts in the last 9 months. PLs underwent health-related assessments at baseline, 3, and 12 months. The primary outcomes were A1C and diabetes distress (DD). At study completion, PLs were deemed effective if their participants sustained and/or improved A1C and DD from baseline. The PLs’ sociodemographic and personality characteristics were also measured. To explore PLs’ perspectives, 17 PLs were subsequently invited for semi-structured interviews. RESULTS: PLs’ A1C and DD remained stable over the course of the intervention. Effective PLs had significantly lower baseline DD and significantly higher extraversion than ineffective PLs. During the interviews, PLs characterized their experiences with participants as positive, mutually beneficial, and helpful with diabetes management. Suggestions were that PLs be vigorously screened and that the PL-participant matching process take shared characteristics (e.g., demographic characteristics, diabetes-related commonalities, and life experiences) into account. Traits of successful PLs were also identified. CONCLUSION: Delivering PS interventions may offer clinical and psychosocial benefits to the providers themselves. Further research is warranted with regard to the PL recruitment and matching process to maximize benefits for PLs and participants.

description: For every finite-to-one map $λ:Γ\toΓ$ and for every abelian group $K$, the generalized shift $σ_λ$ of the direct sum $\bigoplus_ΓK$ is the endomorphism defined by $(x_i)_{i\inΓ}\mapsto(x_{λ(i)})_{i\inΓ}$. In this paper we analyze and compute the algebraic entropy of a generalized shift, which turns out to depend on the cardinality of $K$, but mainly on the function $λ$. We give many examples showing that the generalized shifts provide a very useful universal tool for producing counter-examples.
