description: Purpose: Children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) have documented deficits with complex syntax and vocabulary knowledge. Mental state verbs (MSVs) are necessary for some kinds of complex syntax use and communicate abstract concepts needed for academic language. The purpose of this study was to examine the frequency, diversity, and syntactic context of MSV use in children who are DHH compared to children with typical hearing (CTH).Method: Seventy-three preschool children (23 with cochlear implants, 22 with hearing aids, and 28 with typical hearing) completed a structured language sample as part of a larger assessment battery. Samples were analyzed and compared across groups for use of MSVs, diversity in MSV use, and syntactical context for MSVs.Results: Children who are DHH used significantly fewer MSV in complex syntax, a smaller diversity of MSV, and significantly fewer MSV in obligatory contexts compared to CTH. Results for the cochlear implants and hearing aid groups were not significantly different from one another despite differing levels of hearing loss.Conclusion: Children who are DHH demonstrate significant differences in the rate, diversity, and complexity of MSV use compared to peers with typical hearing.Supplemental Material S1.

Promoting confidence and reducing anxiety after stroke – a feasibility study of using tailored relaxation techniques delivered on a relaxation DVD
Creators: name: Smith, Connie
Publisher: name: Leeds Beckett University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background: The present research examined the perceived feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of using a set of multi-component tailored relaxation techniques administered on a relaxation DVD for stroke survivors, including those with aphasia. Method: A mixed-methods design was utilised during a two-phase study. During T1 38 stroke survivors completed baseline questionnaire measures and were presented with the relaxation techniques delivered on a relaxation DVD within their support group setting. Participants received a copy of the DVD to practice twice a day, five times a week at home over the 4 weeks. They then returned to T2 to complete the follow-up measures (n=24 at T2). Focus group discussions/interviews were also conducted at the end of T2. Results: Qualitative findings portray stroke survivors perceived the set of tailored relaxation techniques as feasible to practice and appropriate for those who have experienced stroke. They demonstrate a perceived effectiveness of the techniques in relation to their confidence and in feeling less anxious/stressed. However, only their situation-specific confidence scores showed an improvement after using the relaxation techniques. All of the techniques are deemed useful, however certain techniques are perceived as more effective in inducing relaxation. Generally, survivors appeared to prefer practicing at home as opposed to the group setting, yet they outline potential benefits of group activities. Conclusion: This feasibility study provides a basis for a larger, future research study to test the effectiveness of multi-component, tailored relaxation techniques on stroke survivors’ confidence, anxiety and distress levels. The evidence regards the tailored relaxation techniques as a promising, feasible and appropriate intervention for stroke survivors, although a lower frequency of practice would be helpful.

description: Did in the Roman world exist a gender-oriented representation of old age? A brief survey of the stereotypes commonly used by Latin authors to construct the character of the elderly woman reveals a bias to circumscribe her identity within the horizon of seduction and sexuality, leaving aside her mothering and child care functions. In this context, the main characteristics of old age are perceived, unlike to what happens to men, to be entirely negative for the woman: the physical changes of aging signify the loss of female seductiveness, and the wisdom she obtains through experience is viewed as a dangerous instrument of control and manipulation.

description: Using soft x-ray spectromicroscopy, we investigate the magnetic domain structure in embedded nanomagnets defined in La$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ thin films and LaFeO$_3$/La$_{0.7}$Sr$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ bilayers. We find that shape-controlled antiferromagnetic domain states give rise to a significant reduction of the switching field of the rectangular nanomagnets. This is discussed in the framework of competition between an intrinsic spin-flop coupling and shape anisotropy. The data demonstrates that shape effects in antiferromagnets may be used to control the magnetic properties in nanomagnets.

Computationally rational strategies for integrating working memory and reinforcement learning: A bounded optimality approach

description: Learning to choose the response most likely to lead to a reward in association with a particular stimulus involves both conscious, effortful working memory (WM) and automatic, implicit reinforcement learning (RL) processes (Collins & Frank, 2012; cf, Packard & Knowlton, 2002; Poldrack et al., 2001; Poldrack & Packard, 2003). WM and RL have complementary strengths and weaknesses: WM is fast but capacity-limited and delay-sensitive, whereas RL is theoretically unlimited and robust over time, but slow. Optimal performance depends on finding the right balance between these systems, based on their relative effectiveness given situational demands. For example, once the number of stimulus-response options exceeds WM capacity, WM becomes less effective. The adaptive strategy is to then increase reliance on RL. WM declines more than RL with age, so the main question of this study is to test whether older adults will show earlier (lower numbers of stimulus-response options) shifts from WM to RL compared to young adults.

description: The effect of fluctuations on the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation rate, $W$, is studied in a complete phase diagram of a 2D superconductor above the upper critical field line $H_{c2}(T)$ . In the region of relatively high temperatures and low magnetic fields, the relaxation rate $W$ is determined by two competing effects. The first one is its decrease in result of suppression of quasi-particle density of states (DOS) due to formation of fluctuation Cooper pairs (FCP). The second one is a specific, purely quantum, relaxation process of the Maki-Thompson (MT) type, which for low field leads to an increase of the relaxation rate. The latter describes particular fluctuation processes involving self-pairing of a single electron on self-intersecting trajectories of a size up to phase-breaking length $l_{ϕ}$ which becomes possible due to an electron spin-flip scattering event at a nucleus. As a result, different scenarios with either growth or decrease of the NMR relaxation rate are possible upon approaching the normal metal - type-II superconductor transition. The character of fluctuations changes along the line $H_{c2}$ from the thermal long-wavelength type in weak magnetic fields to the clusters of rotating FCP in fields comparable to $H_{c2}$. We find that below the well-defined temperature $T^*_0\approx 0.6T_{c0}$, the MT process becomes ineffective even in absence of intrinsic pair-breaking. The small scale of FCP rotations ($ξ_{xy}$) in so high fields impedes formation of long (

Presents two conceptual frameworks to aid managerial understanding and focus research efforts on customer participation. The first framework captures levels of customer participation across different types of services. The second discusses three major roles of customers in the service delivery process. Two examples of the concepts are presented ‐ one in a weight loss context and the other in a mammography screening setting. Both are based on empirical research and illustrate specific applications of customers’ roles in creating the service experience.

description: Deltoid curves appear as consequences of certain procedures in triangle geometry. The best known of these is the construction based on Simson lines, described by Steiner. This is carefully related, in this article, to a less known construction. The standard deltoid in the complex plane and its tangent lines are principle objects of study in this report. It is known that each point in the interior of this curve is the orthocenter of a triangle with distinct vertices on the unit circle, whose product is one. (If instead the point is on the deltoid, then at least two of the vertices coalesce, resulting in a degenerate triangle.) When the vertices are all raised to some specified integer power, a new (possibly degenerate) triangle results. By varying the triangle, one may thus consider the map taking the original triangle's orthocenter to the resulting triangle's orthocenter. Such maps are the other principle objects of study here. The points that are mapped to the deltoid lie on easily described curves. By varying the power involved in the map, a pleasing family of curves results, which includes a trifolium curve. The points that are mapped instead to the origin are described as the points of intersection of certain tangents to the deltoid.

description: Bias evaluation benchmarks and dataset and model documentation have emerged as central processes for assessing the biases and harms of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. However, these auditing processes have been criticized for their failure to integrate the knowledge of marginalized communities and consider the power dynamics between auditors and the communities. Consequently, modes of bias evaluation have been proposed that engage impacted communities in identifying and assessing the harms of AI systems (e.g., bias bounties). Even so, asking what marginalized communities want from such auditing processes has been neglected. In this paper, we ask queer communities for their positions on, and desires from, auditing processes. To this end, we organized a participatory workshop to critique and redesign bias bounties from queer perspectives. We found that when given space, the scope of feedback from workshop participants goes far beyond what bias bounties afford, with participants questioning the ownership, incentives, and efficacy of bounties. We conclude by advocating for community ownership of bounties and complementing bounties with participatory processes (e.g., co-creation).

description: Conformation dependent circular current is investigated in a single handed helical geometry in presence of magnetic flux $ϕ$ within a Hartree-Fock mean field approach. The helical model is described by a set of non-planar rings connected by some vertical bonds where each ring is formed by introducing a non-zero hopping between the atoms $a$ and $b$ as shown in Fig.1. By stretching and compressing the geometry, circular current can be regulated significantly and thus the system can be exploited to design current controlled device at the nano-scale level. The proximity effect between the atomic sites $a$ and $b$ is also discussed in detail which exhibits interesting results.

description: The angular distribution of $B\to K\bar\ell\ell$ ($\ell = e,\,μ,\,τ$) depends on two parameters, the lepton forward-backward asymmetry, $A_{\rm FB}^\ell$, and the flat term, $F_H^\ell$. Both are strongly suppressed in the standard model and constitute sensitive probes of tensor and scalar contributions. We use the latest experimental results for $\ell = μ$ in combination with the branching ratio of $B_s\to \barμμ$ to derive the strongest model-independent bounds on tensor and scalar effective couplings to date. The measurement of $F_H^μ$ provides a complementary constraint to that of the branching ratio of $B_s\to \barμμ$ and allows us---for the first time---to constrain all complex-valued (pseudo-)scalar couplings and their chirality-flipped counterparts in one fit. Based on Bayesian fits of various scenarios, we find that our bounds even become tighter when vector couplings are allowed to deviate from the standard model and that specific combinations of angular observables in $B \to K^*$ are still allowed to be up to two orders of magnitude larger than in the standard model, which would place them in the region of LHCb's sensitivity.

The nutrition transition: Worldwide obesity dynamics and their determinants

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: OBJECTIVE: This paper explores the major changes in diet and physical activity patterns around the world and focuses on shifts in obesity. DESIGN: Review of results focusing on large-scale surveys and nationally representative studies of diet, activity, and obesity among adults and children. SUBJECTS: Youth and adults from a range of countries around the world. MEASUREMENTS: The International Obesity Task Force guidelines for defining overweight and obesity are used for youth and the body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 and 30 cutoffs are used, respectively, for adults. RESULTS: The nutrition transition patterns are examined from the time period termed the receding famine pattern to one dominated by nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases (NR-NCDs). The speed of dietary and activity pattern shifts is great, particularly in the developing world, resulting in major shifts in obesity on a worldwide basis. Data limitations force us to examine data on obesity trends in adults to provide a broader sense of changes in obesity over time, and then to examine the relatively fewer studies on youth. Specifically, this work provides a sense of change both in the United States, Europe, and the lower- and middle-income countries of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America. CONCLUSION: The paper shows that changes are occurring at great speed and at earlier stages of the economic and social development of each country. The burden of obesity is shifting towards the poor.

description: Motivated by recent free-standing graphene experiments, we show how thermal fluctuations affect the mechanical properties of microscopically thin solid ribbons. A renormalization group analysis of flexural phonons reveals that elongated ribbons behave like highly anisotropic polymers, where the two dimensional nature of ribbons is reflected in non-trivial power law scalings of the persistence length and effective bending and twisting rigidities with the ribbon width. With a coarse-grained transfer matrix approach, we then show how thermalized ribbons respond to pulling and bending forces over a wide spectrum of temperatures, forces and ribbon lengths.

Following the routes des slaves, from Africa to America, and the integrated cycles of offer and demand that linked American plantations to European markets, the author explores the ways in which men, women and children were de-humanized and transformed into ‘socially sterile’ individuals, cut at the root both from their families and from their descendants; he addresses and compares different anthropological definitions of the phenomenon of slavery and conflicting interpretations of slaves’ social status in African societies; finally he analyzes evidences of the resilience of the phenomenon in Africa after the abolition of slavery in 1926 and focuses, on the one hand, on child labour and recruitment in irregular armies, on the other, in girls and young women involved in trafficking for purpose of sexual exploitation.

description: We analyse a one-dimensional model of hard particles, within ensembles of trajectories that are conditioned (or biased) to atypical values of the time-averaged dynamical activity. We analyse two phenomena that are associated with these large deviations of the activity: phase separation (at low activity) and the formation of hyperuniform states (at high activity). We consider a version of the model which operates at constant volume, and a version at constant pressure. In these non-equilibrium systems, differences arise between the two ensembles, because of the extra freedom available to the constant-pressure system, which can change its total density. We discuss the relationships between different ensembles, mechanical equilibrium, and the probability cost of rare density fluctuations.

Long-term XMM-Newton investigation of two particle-accelerating colliding-wind binaries in NGC6604: HD168112 and HD167971

description: The long-term (over more than one decade) X-ray emission from two massive stellar systems known to be particle accelerators is investigated using XMM-Newton. Their X-ray properties are interpreted taking into account recent information about their multiplicity and orbital parameters. The two targets, HD168112 and HD167971 appear to be overluminous in X-rays, lending additional support to the idea that a significant contribution of the X-ray emission comes from colliding-wind regions. The variability of the X-ray flux from HD168112 is interpreted in terms of varying separation expected to follow the 1/D rule for adiabatic shocked winds. For HD167971, marginal decrease of the X-ray flux in September 2002 could tentatively be explained by a partial wind eclipse in the close pair. No long-term variability could be demonstrated despite the significant difference of separation between 2002 and 2014. This suggests the colliding-wind region in the wide orbit does not contribute a lot to the total X-ray emission, with a main contribution coming from the radiative shocked winds in the eclipsing pair. The later result provides evidence that shocks in a colliding-wind region may be efficient particle accelerators even in the absence of bright X-ray emission, suggesting particle acceleration may operate in a wide range of conditions. Finally, in hierarchical triple O-type systems, thermal X-rays do not necessarily constitute an efficient tracer to detect the wind-wind interaction in the long period orbit.

Enhancing early communicative abilities through multisensory, playful, and conversational experiences is essential and will benefit children’s school readiness. This study investigated whether a language-to-action link created during language stimulation, which combines multisensory input, play, and conversation using clay, improves preschoolers’ communicative abilities in terms of vocabulary, syntactic, and pragmatic language abilities more than traditional toy-based language stimulation.Method: Language skills were examined in a pre- to posttest design in which 43 typically developing participants, ages 3–5 years, were randomly assigned to clay-based (n = 24) or traditional play-based (n = 19) language stimulation for 8 weeks.Results: Receptive and expressive vocabulary knowledge for items introduced in the language stimulation program, mean length of utterance (MLU), and conversational initiations improved for participants in the clay condition, whereas significant language skill growth was not observed for participants in the traditional play-based stimulation condition with toys.Conclusions: A language-to-action link is created when children engage with open-ended materials, such as clay, as they craft target objects hands on and step by step, affording additional opportunities for language input and output. Results preliminarily suggest that using open-ended materials may enhance children’s communicative abilities in receptive and expressive vocabulary, syntax/MLU, and pragmatics (i.e., conversational initiations) more than prefabricated toy objects during language stimulation.Supplemental Material S1.

description: We show that the speed of the fastest coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that an active region (AR) can produce can be predicted from a vector magnetogram of the AR. This is shown by logarithmic plots of CME speed (from the SOHO LASCO CME catalog) versus each of ten AR-integrated magnetic parameters (AR magnetic flux, three different AR magnetic-twist parameters, and six AR free-magnetic-energy proxies) measured from the vertical and horizontal field components of vector magnetograms (from the {\it Solar Dynamics Observatory's Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager}) of the source ARs of 189 CMEs. These plots show: (1) the speed of the fastest CMEs that an AR can produce increases with each of these whole-AR magnetic parameters, and (2) that one of the AR magnetic-twist parameters and the corresponding free-magnetic-energy proxy each determine the CME-speed upper-limit line somewhat better than any of the other eight whole-AR magnetic parameters.

Schiave, etere e prostitute nella Grecia antica. La vicenda emblematica di Laide
Creators: name: Paradiso, Annalisa
Publisher: name: Storia delle Donne
Year: 2009

description: The ancient sources on Lais are misleading: apparently they concern only one hetaira, but actually they must refer to two or even three “courtesans” of the same name. This naturally reduces the possibility of writing the biography of a single hetaira called Lais, but on the other hand allows us to trace a genre biography, true, in its main lines, for more than one “courtesan” of Antiquity. “Lais”, the second, for whom we dispose of more individualised historical details, was a hetaira of brilliant erotic and social success, but she was at the beginning of her life a prisoner of war, sold as a slave in Sicily and then moving to Corinth. Keywords: prigionieri di guerra, schiave, prostitute, etere; prisoners of war, slaves, prostitutes, courtesans.

The nutrition transition: New trends in the global diet

description: Analyses of economic and food availability data for 1962–1994 reveal a major shift in the structure of the global diet marked by an uncoupling of the classic relationship between incomes and fat intakes. Global availability of cheap vegetable oils and fats has resulted in greatly increased fat consumption among low-income nations. Consequently, the nutrition transition now occurs at lower levels of the gross national product than previously, and is accelerated further by high urbanization rates. Data from Asian nations, where diet structure is rapidly changing, suggest that diets higher in fats and sweeteners are also more diverse and more varied. Given that preferences for palatable diets are a universal human trait, fat consumption may be governed not by physiological mechanisms but by the amount of fat available in the food supply. Whereas economic development has led to improved food security and better health, adverse health effects of the nutrition transition include growing rates of childhood obesity. The implications of these trends are explored.
Selecting the motion ground truth for loose-fitting wearables: benchmarking optical MoCap methods

description: To help smart wearable researchers choose the optimal ground truth methods for motion capturing (MoCap) for all types of loose garments, we present a benchmark, DrapeMoCapBench (DMCB), specifically designed to evaluate the performance of optical marker-based and marker-less MoCap. High-cost marker-based MoCap systems are well-known as precise golden standards. However, a less well-known caveat is that they require skin-tight fitting markers on bony areas to ensure the specified precision, making them questionable for loose garments. On the other hand, marker-less MoCap methods powered by computer vision models have matured over the years, which have meager costs as smartphone cameras would suffice. To this end, DMCB uses large real-world recorded MoCap datasets to perform parallel 3D physics simulations with a wide range of diversities: six levels of drape from skin-tight to extremely draped garments, three levels of motions and six body type - gender combinations to benchmark state-of-the-art optical marker-based and marker-less MoCap methods to identify the best-performing method in different scenarios. In assessing the performance of marker-based and low-cost marker-less MoCap for casual loose garments both approaches exhibit significant performance loss (>10cm), but for everyday activities involving basic and fast motions, marker-less MoCap slightly outperforms marker-based MoCap, making it a favorable and cost-effective choice for wearable studies.

Does the Model Minority Myth act as a barrier for intra-minority solidarity? An Investigation of commonality and political solidarity among racial minorities.

description: In the United States, Asian Americans are often stereotyped as being high-achieving, well-off, and high-status racial minorities, otherwise known as “model” minorities. The Model Minority stereotype has historically been weaponized by White Americans to pit minority racial groups against one another, which has led to interracial tension between the Asian and Black American communities. Specifically, the Model Minority stereotype of Asian Americans was used to justify Black Americans' violence and oppression. This can cause a lack of intergroup solidarity, which creates a barrier toward racial justice, as racially marginalized groups that work together to push back against oppressive systems and ideologies are better positioned to make change. Thus, the current study is important because, to understand how and when societal norms foster positive intra-minority relationships, it is important to examine how current stereotypes may hinder positive social relationships, such as allyship and solidarity, between minority groups.
Principal Component Analysis of Persistent Homology Rank Functions with case studies of Spatial Point Patterns, Sphere Packing and Colloids

description: Persistent homology, while ostensibly measuring changes in topology, captures multiscale geometrical information. It is a natural tool for the analysis of point patterns. In this paper we explore the statistical power of the (persistent homology) rank functions. For a point pattern $X$ we construct a filtration of spaces by taking the union of balls of radius $a$ centered on points in $X$, $X_a = \cup_{x\in X}B(x,a)$. The rank function $β_k(X):{\{(a,b)\in \mathbb{R}^2: a\leq b\}} \to \mathbb{R}$ is then defined by $β_k(X)(a,b) = rank ( ι_*:H_k(X_a) \to H_k(X_b))$ where $ι_*$ is the induced map on homology from the inclusion map on spaces. We consider the rank functions as lying in a Hilbert space and show that under reasonable conditions the rank functions from multiple simulations or experiments will lie in an affine subspace. This enables us to perform functional principal component analysis which we apply to experimental data from colloids at different effective temperatures and of sphere packings with different volume fractions. We also investigate the potential of rank functions in providing a test of complete spatial randomness of 2D point patterns using the distances to an empirically computed mean rank function of binomial point patterns in the unit square.

Il buon nome delle donne. Matrimonio, professione e reputazione nella Roma dell’Ottocento
Creators: name: Tonini Masella, Ginevra Diletta
Publisher: name: Storia delle Donne
Year: 2011

description: This work is based on the trial documents of the Vicar and the Governor Courts (XVIII-XIX centuries). It is focused on the leading role of reputation in the lives of unmarried and atypical working women during the First Roman Republic (1798-1799). Referring to the recent studies on marriage, the attention is focused on both language and nomenclature used in trial documents to describe women. Moreover, it is underlined the importance of a bad reputation on the Criminal Court’s judgement in actions for seduction of unmarried women. Models earned by showing their naked bodies: a particular attention is reserved then to the role of their job as well as their marital status in both construction and judgement of their reputation.

Lipschitz partition processes

Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We introduce a family of Markov processes on set partitions with a bounded number of blocks, called Lipschitz partition processes. We construct these processes explicitly by a Poisson point process on the space of Lipschitz continuous maps on partitions. By this construction, the Markovian consistency property is readily satisfied; that is, the finite restrictions of any Lipschitz partition process comprise a compatible collection of finite state space Markov chains. We further characterize the class of exchangeable Lipschitz partition processes by a novel set-valued matrix operation.
