description: Is the (hu)MANid program valid in a diverse adult population? Farhi, M.1, Marion, I.2, Atsawasuwan, P.1, Nicholas, C.L.1 1. Department of Orthodontics, University of Illinois Chicago, Chicago, IL 2. Department of Pediatric Dentistry, University of Illinois Chicago, Chicago, IL Objectives: (hu)MANid is a free, web-based application that utilizes a worldwide sample of mandibular morphology and metric data to classify ancestry, age and sex of mandibles in a forensic context. Our study aims to test the reliability of this tool with CBCT data from the diverse adult population presenting to University of Illinois Chicago college of Dentistry. Methods: We retrospectively collected a sample of adults aged 20-46 from a racially and ethnically diverse population from the Chicagoland area. Mandibular samples were extrapolated from CBCT data and were analyzed utilizing 3D Slicer and OsiriX. Measurements included metric data (e.g., chin height, mandibular body height at mental foramen etc.) and morphoscopic measurements (e.g., chin shape, lower border of mandible etc.) The data was then input into the (hu)MANid software and analyzed for accuracy of the output prediction of race and sex. Results: In the complete dataset (n=143), we found that (hu)MANid correctly estimated sex 76% of the time, with greater accuracy for known males (95.83%) than known females (65.26%). This level of accuracy is within the range of what is considered to be of forensic utility. For ancestry estimation, the program particularly struggled to correctly identify individuals self-identified as White/Caucasian (percent correct prediction: 18.64%) and Asian (20% correct). Sex prediction is more accurate than seen in a previous subadult sample, but ancestry prediction remains innacurate. Conclusions: (hu)MANid has forensic utility in predicting sex for individuals who are adults (>20 years of age). It is of limited value for predicting ancestry for either subadults or adults in a contemporary, diverse US sample. This may be due to the limitations of the comparative samples that the program was developed from, and might be improved through increasing the size and diversity of the dataset used to create the model underlying this application.

description: Path planning and collision avoidance are challenging in complex and highly variable environments due to the limited horizon of events. In literature, there are multiple model- and learning-based approaches that require significant computational resources to be effectively deployed and they may have limited generality. We propose a planning algorithm based on a globally stable passive controller that can plan smooth trajectories using limited computational resources in challenging environmental conditions. The architecture combines the recently proposed fractal impedance controller with elastic bands and regions of finite time invariance. As the method is based on an impedance controller, it can also be used directly as a force/torque controller. We validated our method in simulation to analyse the ability of interactive navigation in challenging concave domains via the issuing of via-points, and its robustness to low bandwidth feedback. A swarm simulation using 11 agents validated the scalability of the proposed method. We have performed hardware experiments on a holonomic wheeled platform validating smoothness and robustness of interaction with dynamic agents (i.e., humans and robots). The computational complexity of the proposed local planner enables deployment with low-power micro-controllers lowering the energy consumption compared to other methods that rely upon numeric optimisation.

description: The study aimed to describe the pre-handwriting abilities and the Executive Functions, such as working memory, planning and organization of the action, in children aged 3 to 5 years old, and to assess their relationship. A group of 106 children performed the Shore Handwriting Screening test (SHS) for the assessment of pre-handwriting abilities. In the same period their parents filled in the Behaviour Rating Inventory for Executive Function - Preschool Version (BRIEF-P). Results showed a significant age and gender effects, but not a significant age x gender interaction was obtained. At the considered age a substantial stability of the Executive Functions was observed. The correlational analysis (Pearson) showed significant correlations between total score of SHS test and the BRIEF-P’s Metacognition Emerging Index. These data may indicate a relationship between Working Memory/Planning Organization of action and writing skills even in children at preschool age.

description: Based on identity status model, this cross-sectional study examined adolescents identity formation analyzing its association with parent and peer attachment. A sample of 1,480 adolescents from Italy completed self-report measures assessing ego identity status, and the perceived quality of parent and peer attachment. Adolescents who achieved an integrated identity status seemed to perceive a high quality of attachment both with parents and peers reporting main levels of trust and communication. On the contrary diffused and foreclosed adolescents reported more intensive feelings of distancing than the others groups, even if on the whole they did not differ significantly from youngsters in moratorium status. The implications of the findings, limitations and suggestions for future theoretical and empirical development of research in this field are discussed.

description: Motivated by the intriguing physics of quasi-2d fermionic systems, such as high-temperature superconducting oxides, layered transition metal chalcogenides or surface or interface systems, the development of many-body computational methods geared at including both local and non-local electronic correlations has become a rapidly evolving field. It has been realized, however, that the success of such methods can be hampered by the emergence of noncausal features in the effective or observable quantities involved. Here, we present a new approach of extending local many-body techniques such as dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) to nonlocal correlations, which preserves causality and has a physically intuitive interpretation. Our strategy has implications for the general class of DMFT-inspired many-body methods, and can be adapted to cluster, dual boson or dual fermion techniques with minimal effort.

‘We are Trying.’ Portraits of Black Goodness in Spite of Anti-Black Schooling
Creators: name: Clark, Shannon
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This dissertation explores everyday interactions and opportunities for teachers and families to collaborate in spite of forces that often put Black families and schools at odds in one predominantly Black elementary school. I examine interactions among Black families and teachers to consider how organizational norms, values, and routines influence the nature of these interactions. My exploration of interactions is guided by a framework that links anti-blackness, critical race theory, and institutional theory to examine how practices and policies enable or inhibit family engagement. Using portraiture and critical race methodology, I provide a rich portrait of one school community striving to engage families, reduce chronic absenteeism, and maintain staff moral amidst unprecedented changes spurred by COVID-19. Examining the day-to day realities within one school community revealed that there are routine practices and policies that constrain interactions among Black families and Black teachers. Yet, these practices and policies also enhanced interactions by prompting advocacy and subversive action. I conclude by contending that anti-Black schooling is habitual. I show how the enactment of race-neutral policies and practices led to anti-Black outcomes and I connect these policies and practices to the interactions that took place throughout one school community during the 2020-2021 school year. Ultimately, I assert that schooling for Black students, namely those in resource deprived schools, is rife with anti-blackness that demands Black people exude Black goodness to succeed, and at times, merely survive. This study contributes to research, policy, and practice conversations on segregated schooling, racialized organizations, and family-school relations.

description: The Artificial Fish Swarm Algorithm (AFSA) is inspired by the ecological behaviors of fish schooling in nature, viz., the preying, swarming and following behaviors. Owing to a number of salient properties, which include flexibility, fast convergence, and insensitivity to the initial parameter settings, the family of AFSA has emerged as an effective Swarm Intelligence (SI) methodology that has been widely applied to solve real-world optimization problems. Since its introduction in 2002, many improved and hybrid AFSA models have been developed to tackle continuous, binary, and combinatorial optimization problems. This paper aims to present a concise review of the continuous AFSA, encompassing the original ASFA, its improvements and hybrid models, as well as their associated applications. We focus on articles published in high-quality journals since 2013. Our review provides insights into AFSA parameters modifications, procedures and sub-functions. The main reasons for these enhancements and the comparison results with other hybrid methods are discussed. In addition, hybrid, multi-objective and dynamic AFSA models that have been proposed to solve continuous optimization problems are elucidated. We also analyse possible AFSA enhancements and highlight future research directions for advancing AFSA-based models.

Building More Intersectional Disability Activist Coalitions: A Community-Engaged Autoethnography
Creators: name: The, Kimberly
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: More than a decade after the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) and 30 years after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), disabled people continue to experience systemic physical, economic, sociopolitical and attitudinal barriers to full and equal participation in all aspects of society. The issues faced by the disability community are multifaceted and complex with deep social and structural roots, making it unlikely that any single interest or advocacy group will be able to effect all necessary changes on their own. The creation of coalitions across disability and other social justice groups has been identified as one way to build collective power around important issues. Coalitions are not without their challenges as both leadership and grassroots members must work to build bridges across intersecting identities and axes of oppression. There is, however, limited understanding about the processes of building coalitions around disability across groups. The purpose of this 11-month community-based participatory research (CBPR) (Israel et al., 2012) autoethnographical study (Anderson, 2006) was to examine how a small disability rights coalition negotiated issues of power, thinking about multiple identities together, community, and group cohesion as it worked to achieve its activist agenda for economic justice for people with disabilities. A total of 15 total coalition members were recruited via maximum variability quota sampling. Data was gathered via multiple qualitative methods, including interviews, focus groups, observation, and document analysis. Data was analyzed via domain and taxonomic coding as well as theme analysis (Spradley, 1979). Strategies to enhance rigor were embedded in all phases of study design, data collection, and analysis. These findings highlighted the complexity of sustaining a disability coalition that thought about multiple identities was actively engaged in a legislative campaign during the COVID pandemic and the racially charged summer of 2020. Findings were discussed across three broad categories: 1) considerations for what it took to run a coalition for this group, 2) how relationships contributed to the sustainability of community organizing work, and 3) how interconnections between diversity, inclusion/exclusion, and humanness concepts affected the group’s perceptions and work. Implications for disability rights coalition building that considers multiple identities are discussed.

Subjects: hysteria; review; diagnosis

description: The present work intends to contribute to a reflection about hysteria, describing a path from the first formulations to the contemporary authors. It aims to depict the historic and conceptual evolution of hysteria, from a clinical syndrome — recognized since the ancient times — to a personality style. The hysteric symptomatology is multifaceted and fugitive and it is affected by cultural and social influences. Probably for this reason a polymorphic picture has been observed, changing across the historical ages and presenting different characteristics depending on cultural frameworks.

Fighting and Building for Liberatory Education: A Conjunctural Analysis of Chicago's Alternative Schools
Creators: name: Krueger, Stacey
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Fighting and Building for Liberatory Education surfaces the visions of liberatory education generated by a core of Chicago’s early alternative schools during the last conjunctural crisis of the 1960s and 1970s and traces what happened as they encountered competing ideologies of racial neoliberalism. The study tracks these developments by analyzing three major turning points across the alternative schools’ history: first, it examines the alternative schools’ emergence and the ideologies of liberatory education they generated during the last conjunctural crisis of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Second, it analyzes their encounters with neoliberal ideologies of schooling in the late 1970s to early 2000s, including the state’s roll-back of social supports and the roll-out of charter schools and zero tolerance. Third, it follows the state’s intensification and management of neoliberal ideologies of schooling through the city’s alternative schools from the late 2000s through today as a new conjunctural crisis is unfolding. Using these turning points, the study engages a hybrid methodology of conjunctural analysis from the margins inspired by Stuart Hall et al.’s Policing the Crisis (1978) and more recent methodologies from the margins developed by queer, trans, disabled, Black, indigenous, and women of color activist-scholars. Applied to the site of Chicago’s alternative schools, it draws from digital news media, education policy archives, oral histories and interviews, alternative schools archives, and youth organizing and research. The study finds that a core of the early alternative schools attempted a dual strategy of fighting and building to resolve the crises of their time toward more liberatory outcomes: they fought against injustices in schooling while also imagining new forms of education based on self-determination, critical pedagogy, and creative production. Inspired by this finding, fighting and building also functions in the study as an analytical lens and as a proposed strategy for liberation, with the growing theories and practices of abolition serving as an important context as this dissertation was being written during a new time of conjunctural crisis. The study makes connections between the visionary dual strategy surfaced through its analysis of the past and the increased energy for a dual strategy approach today.

description: Recent literature has been increasingly interested in mother-child and father-child interactions, but there are few studies that have investigated parental psychopathological risk in normal samples. The aim of this study is to explore the quality of interactions of mothers and fathers with their child at 18-24-month-olds during feeding, taking into account possible influences of parental psychopathological risk, and to verify whether mother-child and father-child interactions affect each other. N=60 families were assessed through a videorecorded procedure observing mealtime and a self-report questionnaire for parental psychopathological risk. Results show that the overall quality of mother-child interactions during feeding was no statistically different from father-child interactions. Mothers’ and fathers’ psychopathological risks predicted the general quality of their interactions with their children during feeding in the direction of fewer contingents and less sensitive exchanges. Our results show also that the quality of mother-child and father-child interactions affect each other. In sum, this study shows that mothers and fathers have a similar relationship quality with their children during feeding. Parents-child interactions influenced one another, stressing the importance to investigate the couple relationship between parents.

description: The mode solutions of the Dirac equation on $N$-dimensional de Sitter space-time ($dS_{N}$) with $(N-1)$-sphere spatial sections are obtained by analytically continuing the spinor eigenfunctions of the Dirac operator on the $N$-sphere ($S^{N}$). The analogs of flat space-time positive frequency modes are identified and a vacuum is defined. The transformation properties of the mode solutions under the de Sitter group double cover (Spin($N$,1)) are studied. We reproduce the expression for the massless spinor Wightman two-point function in closed form using the mode-sum method. By using this closed-form expression and taking advantage of the maximal symmetry of $dS_{N}$ we find an analytic expression for the spinor parallel propagator. The latter is used to construct the massive Wightman two-point function in closed form.

As a consequence of our developments we improve recent works dealing with unique continuation properties for shallow water equations, as well as we provide a novel way to prove that the unique compactly supported solution of the system is necessarily the zero function.

description: The objective of this research is to highlight potential gender differences in relation to the use of traditional and digital media, with a specific focus on the motivations behind the use of Social Networks (SN), in particular Facebook (FB). We administered an online survey to a sample of 189 students aimed at monitoring a) time and frequency of exposure to traditional media and SN; b) the use respondents make of FB; c) the reasons why they use FB. In order to provide an integrated view of the exposure pattern to the traditional media and to SN, we have adopted a cluster analysis and discriminant analysis, identifying three groups of users: the connected, the traditional and the detached. The subsequent analysis demonstrated significant gender differences: a) women read a higher number of books than men, they watch more TV and they spend more time on social media; b) women claim to have a greater number of friends on FB and spend on average more time than men on FB; c) women get higher scores than men on motivation like curiosity for browsing or to search for people who they have not seen for some time. In contrast, men get higher scores in motivations like flirting. Our results are in line with the findings of previous studies, showing how women use FB for a plethora of activities, with a higher orientation to maintain and create a larger number of interpersonal relationships.

description: We propose improved fixed-design confidence bounds for the linear logistic model. Our bounds significantly improve upon the state-of-the-art bound by Li et al. (2017) via recent developments of the self-concordant analysis of the logistic loss (Faury et al., 2020). Specifically, our confidence bound avoids a direct dependence on $1/κ$, where $κ$ is the minimal variance over all arms' reward distributions. In general, $1/κ$ scales exponentially with the norm of the unknown linear parameter $θ^*$. Instead of relying on this worst-case quantity, our confidence bound for the reward of any given arm depends directly on the variance of that arm's reward distribution. We present two applications of our novel bounds to pure exploration and regret minimization logistic bandits improving upon state-of-the-art performance guarantees. For pure exploration, we also provide a lower bound highlighting a dependence on $1/κ$ for a family of instances.

description: The type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by a metabolic disorder with multiple etiologies. Defined by Bury (2005) as a "biographical disagreement ", its treatment is based on the active involvement of families and makes it necessary to reorganize both patient daily life and his/her family one. This paper aims to analyze the interactions of a family triad in terms of enabling and constraining style and how this type of communication has an impact on the child health. We utilized for this study self-report questionnaires and Constraining and Enabling Coding System (CECS; Hauser, et al.,1991 adapted by Chiarolanza, et al., 2016) for analysis of a family triad interaction. Results showed that interactive communication in the triad are oriented towards constraining cognitive dimension. This could interfere with blood glucose monitoring and the patient relationship with integrated team care. Members of a triad can coordinate or not during a family interaction and this could have effects on adolescent health in terms of quality of family relationships and well-being.

description: Several seminal ethics initiatives have stipulated sets of principles and standards for good technology development in the AI sector. However, widespread criticism has pointed out a lack of practical realization of these principles. Following that, AI ethics underwent a practical turn, but without deviating from the principled approach and the many shortcomings associated with it. This paper proposes a different approach. It defines four basic AI virtues, namely justice, honesty, responsibility and care, all of which represent specific motivational settings that constitute the very precondition for ethical decision making in the AI field. Moreover, it defines two second-order AI virtues, prudence and fortitude, that bolster achieving the basic virtues by helping with overcoming bounded ethicality or the many hidden psychological forces that impair ethical decision making and that are hitherto disregarded in AI ethics. Lastly, the paper describes measures for successfully cultivating the mentioned virtues in organizations dealing with AI research and development.
Shaping the Common Sense of Chicago’s Racialized Neoliberal Education Project, A Comparative Analysis
Creators: name: Gutierrez, Rhoda Rae
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: This research is focused on race and the dialectic of Chicago neoliberal education reform and resistance. In this study, I analyze the racial discourses and the cultural politics of race of key school choice policy moments under the administration of former mayor Rahm Emanuel (2011-2019), during which the contradictions of and contestations to Chicago’s racialized neoliberal education project intensified the crisis of legitimacy of this neoliberal conjuncture. Using a comparative racialization analysis, the three policy moments I examine include: 1) the resumption of school closings in 2018—after a moratorium following the historic closures of 50 public schools in 2013—during which Chicago Public Schools targeted majority low income and African American schools; 2) the 2015 charter school expansion into the Latinx southwest side and whiter north side of the city; and 3) the increase in appointments of people of color to head the district, what I call a new racialized managerialism. I find that during this crisis period, Chicago Public Schools shifted toward what Jodi Melamed calls neoliberal multiculturalism as the official state anti-racist discourse to manage the crisis, and that neoliberal austerity and school choice intensify and are relegitimized by anti-black racism which undermine opportunities to build solidarity to challenge neoliberal education policy. Thus, to build toward a more transformative, anti-racist, redistributive educational reform agenda requires a deeper understanding of anti-blackness as a structure that shapes the common sense of neoliberal school choice and undermines collective life.

description: There has been a lack of research into the motivations for sexting. This study presents a self report instrument, the Sexting Motivations Questionnaire (SMQ), evaluating three sexting motivations: sexual purposes, instrumental/aggravated reasons and body image reinforcement. We also investigated which sexting motivations predict different sexting behaviors, distinguishing between experimental and more harmful sexting. The study involved 509 participants aged from 13 to 35 (Mage = 21.4; SDage = 4.6; 63.7% females) who reported having sent sexts during the last year. Explorative factor analysis revealed three factors: sexual purposes, instrumental/aggravated reasons, and body image reinforcement. The results showed that sexual purposes were the most frequently reported, followed by body image reinforcement, and instrumental/aggravated reasons were reported in low but alarming percentages. Only instrumental/aggravated reasons turned out to predict more harmful sexting behaviors, such as publicly posting own sexts and the socalled ‘not allowed sharing’ of a partner’s sexts. These motivations could lead to aggravated sexting. Our findings confirmed the good reliability and criterion validity of the SMQ, a new instrument for assessing sexting motivations in young people.

description: Objective: To assess the longitudinal relationship of oral hygiene in orthodontic patients taking weekly Dental Monitoring (DM) scans and to evaluate the validity and accuracy of DM artificial intelligence (AI) image analysis in identifying periodontal conditions Methods: Patients (n=24) from the UIC patient population seeking orthodontic therapy were evaluated clinically and with DM’s AI image analysis software for the presence of plaque, gingivitis, and recession over the course of 18 months. The periodontal indices used for clinical evaluation were the Orthodontic Plaque Index (OPI) and the Modified Gingival Index (MGI). The periodontal trends over time were compared to a control group (n=25) also undergoing orthodontic therapy at UIC. Student independent t-test and paired t-tests were used to investigate the mean differences between study groups and between time points for each group respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, positivity predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated to evaluate AI and clinical assessment of plaque, gingivitis and recession. Results: The mean values for OPI and MGI after four months of treatment (T2) are lower in the DM group (OPI=1.96, MGI=1.56) than in control group (OPI=2.41, MGI=2.17), p-value < 0.05. There are statistically significant mean differences for OPI and MGI between time points (T2-T1) for each group, p-values < 0.001. There are mean differences for OPI and MGI between DM and control groups when comparing the time point differences (T2-T1), but these results are not statistically significant, p-values > 0.05. For AI detection of plaque, gingivitis, and recession, the sensitivity was 0.94, 0.96, and 0.99, the specificity was 0.53, 0.35, and 0.24, the PPV was 0.27, 0.29, and 0.70, and the NPV was 0.98, 0.96, 0.95 respectively. Conclusions: Current results show that the oral hygiene of orthodontic patients rapidly worsens over the first three months and plateaus after about five months of treatment. Results also show that weekly DM scans may improve oral hygiene over time in orthodontic patients. DM AI image analysis software has high sensitivity and NPV and moderate specificity and PPV for detecting the presence of plaque, gingivitis, and recession in orthodontic patients.

description: Quantum reading provides a general framework where to formulate the statistical discrimination of quantum channels. Several paths have been taken for such a problem. However, there is much to be done in the avenue of optimizing channel discrimination using classical codes. At least two open questions can be pointed to: how to construct low complexity encoding schemes that are interesting for channel discrimination and, more importantly, how to develop capacity-achieving protocols. The aim of this paper is to present a solution to these questions using polar codes. Firstly, we characterize the rate and reliability of the channels under polar encoding. We also show that the error probability of the scheme proposed decays exponentially with respect to the code length. Lastly, an analysis of the optimal quantum states to be used as probes is given.

The Impact of Contextual Factors on Leadership Coaching: A Mixed Methods Study
Creators: name: Watson, Mary
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: As the school leader’s role grows in complexity, school districts frequently employ leadership coaching through an external partner to develop principals to meet the growing demands of the position. While research points to the benefit of leadership coaching as a supportive approach for principal professional development, most of these studies are based on outcomes from early career principals who lead underperforming, urban schools. There is limited understanding of the coaching efficacy in a variety of school context, such as rural and suburban communities. Likewise, it is unclear whether external coaches who are unfamiliar with the school or district encounter unique challenges that undermine coaching efficacy. Given the extensive reliance on external partnerships to provide leadership coaching as a mechanism for improving a principal’s leadership, it is important to understand the extent to which leadership coaching from an external partner is effective within schools of various context. To address this gap, this study utilized a mixed methods design to foreground the school and district conditions that impact coaching efficacy and understand how the principal and external leadership coach navigate challenges that could impact coaching efficacy. Drawing upon survey data from principals (n=45) and external leadership coaches (n=52) who participated in the multi-year leadership coaching project, the relationship between school contextual factors and coaching efficacy was investigated. Following the survey analysis, principals (n=6) and leadership coaches (n=9) were purposefully selected for interviews to uncover how to navigate dominant challenges that surface. The survey analysis revealed two dominant challenges that the principals and leadership coaches suggest are impediments to leadership coaching efficacy. The findings also point to contextual factors that are associated with the dominant challenges. Analysis of the interview data suggests several actions that are likely to be of value for overcoming common challenges that can undermine coaching efficacy. This study will provide insights for external leadership coaches and school districts as they design external coaching partnerships and navigate contextual challenges to support principal development.

description: Communicating the diagnosis to a cancer patient is critically related to health care: giving clear information helps patients to know, assess, and participate in decisionmaking about therapies. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the literature on this relevant topic showing changes over time and considering different countries. All together the review depicts the communication of cancer diagnosis as an interactionally complex event that involves different actors (doctor, patient, family member), is influenced by several factors (at the individual, social, organizational, and cultural level), and requires doctors to deploy situated and personalized communicative abilities and practices.

description: To achieve appropriate interaction rates in recent neutrino oscillation studies, high atomic number nuclear targets were utilized. Because of the nuclear effects in the experimental observable, the utilization of these complicated targets produced systematic uncertainties that needed to be assessed accurately to constrain the discovery. We made an effort to calculate the nuclear effects in the Ar and H targets, which are intended to be employed at the DUNE distant and near detectors, respectively, through our simulation effort. The DUNE flux is peaking around 2.5 GeV and CCRES is the dominant process at this energy. So, this work will be focused only on the CCQE and CCRES interactions and the simulations will be done using two different neutrino event generators. We reported the ratio of the oscillation probability (P(Ar)/P(H) as a function of reconstructed neutrino energy for CCRES channels to quantify the systematic errors in the observables.
