Internet use across Vietnamese society has expanded more than eightfold over the last decade. This expansion has brought significant social, political and economic impacts to Vietnamese society. The Internet offers individuals new forms of communication, information sharing, and entertainment while traditional “offline” businesses benefit from new commercial opportunities. Many of these online activities also empower the voices of individuals in a way that is new to Vietnamese society. On the other hand, the Internet also poses challenges for Vietnamese society. New values, some alien to traditions and established social norms, potentially threaten the nation’s social stability and cohesion. Financial fraud, intellectual property violation, and technological crimes, such as hacking, the dissemination of computer viruses and identity theft, also emerge as a part of the Internet boom. There has been relatively little academic research on the impacts of the Internet on Vietnamese society or of Hanoi’s Internet regulation, with much prior research constricted to brief references to particular areas, such as political impacts and Internet censorship. This research thesis explores both the impacts of the Internet on Vietnamese society and the Vietnamese government's Internet regulation strategy. Employing a qualitative approach, it integrates several data collection techniques— semi-structured interviews, online observation, and an online survey and draws on primary and secondary sources in the analysis of the research findings. The study identifies the intricate ways in which popular Internet use is changing Vietnamese society and finds that, in responding to this emergent civil society and the regulatory challenges it raises, the Vietnamese government is paving a “third way” in Internet regulatory policy.

description: Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) networks are making spectacular progress from design, standardisation, to commercialisation. At this time of fast-paced adoption, it is of utmost importance to analyse how well these technologies will scale as the number of devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) inevitably grows. In this letter, we provide a stochastic geometry framework for modelling the performance of a single gateway LoRa network, a leading LPWA technology. Our analysis formulates unique peculiarities of LoRa, including its chirp spread-spectrum modulation technique, regulatory limitations on radio duty cycle, and use of ALOHA protocol on top, all of which are not as common in today's commercial cellular networks. We show that the coverage probability drops exponentially as the number of end-devices grows due to interfering signals using the same spreading sequence. We conclude that this fundamental limiting factor is perhaps more significant towards LoRa scalability than for instance spectrum restrictions. Our derivations for co-spreading factor interference found in LoRa networks enables rigorous scalability analysis of such networks.

description: The presence of confounding by high-dimensional variables complicates the estimation of the average effect of a point treatment. On the one hand, it necessitates the use of variable selection strategies or more general high-dimensional statistical methods. On the other hand, the use of such techniques tends to result in biased estimators with a non-standard asymptotic behavior. Double-robust estimators are useful for offering a resolution because they possess a so-called small bias property. This property has been exploited to achieve valid (uniform) inference of the average causal effect when data-adaptive estimators of the propensity score and conditional outcome mean both converge to their respective truths at sufficiently fast rate. In this article, we extend this work in order to retain valid (uniform) inference when one of these estimators does not converge to the truth, regardless of which. This is done by generalizing prior work for low-dimensional settings by [Vermeulen K, Vansteelandt S. Bias-reduced doubly robust estimation. Am Stat Assoc. 2015;110(511):1024–1036.] to incorporate regularization. The proposed penalized bias-reduced double-robust estimation strategy exhibits promising performance in simulation studies and a data analysis, relative to competing proposals.

Choices and constraints: older women’s reflections on bodies, sexuality and ageing in contemporary Australia

Cultural associations of ageing with decline have historically limited the social scripts available for embodied and sexual old age, particularly for women. However, scholars believe that the ageing of the post-sexual liberation generations brings the potential for the experience, meanings and appearance of old age to be radically transformed. The potential for change is also linked to postmodern theories which position ageing bodies as able to be shaped through individual choice. However, these theories overlook the potential impacts of structural constraints on choice, operating in old age and throughout the life-course. In this thesis I apply an analytic approach drawn from the frameworks of social constructionism, structure and agency and Foucault’s conceptualisation of knowledge and power, to examine how the subjective experience of older bodies is shaped. The thesis draws upon in-depth interview and journal data from 28 women aged 55-81. The research found that bodily and sexual meanings were shaped in relation to social norms and embodied experiences, as well as individual and shared histories. When reflecting upon appearance, older bodies were usually interpreted as loss, while during intimate moments, the sensual capacities were prioritised. The participants’ responses to the appearance of age in self and others was commonly shaped by the notion that individuals are responsible for responding to and disguising the signs of old age. The meanings and potential for being old and sexual reflected relationship histories, as well as contemporary discourses of ageing and sexuality. The influence of sexism was evident in the participants’ narratives of the past and present, and reflected their negotiations of ageism. This biographical continuity shaped and limited their desires in older age, even as they negotiated around and resisted these norms. These data therefore reflect a time in which shifting sexual norms coexist alongside the continuing influences of traditional values. In this thesis I argue that although the possibilities for, and meanings of, embodied old age are shifting, this is a complex and subtle process, one that is not interpreted as liberating.

description: Objective: To compare the effects of five years of specialised early intervention (SEI) treatment for first episode schizophrenia spectrum disorder with the standard two years of SEI plus three years of treatment as usual.
Design: Randomised, superiority, parallel group trial with blinded outcome assessment. Randomisation was centralised and computerised with concealed randomisation sequence carried out at an external site. Setting: Participants were recruited from six
OPUS teams in Denmark between 2009 and 2012. OPUS teams provide SEI treatment to all patients diagnosed with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder in Denmark. Participants 400 participants (51% women) with a mean age of
25.6 (standard deviation 4.3) were randomised to five years of SEI (experimental intervention; n=197) or to two years of SEI plus three years of treatment as usual (control; n=203). Interventions OPUS treatment consists of three
core elements-modified assertive community treatment, family involvement, and social skill training-with a patientcase manager ratio of no more than 12:1. For participants randomised to five years of OPUS treatment, the treatment was
largely unchanged. Participants randomised to the control group were mostly referred to community health centres after two years of SEI treatment. Main outcomes:Follow-up assessments were conducted five years after start of OPUS
treatment. Primary outcome was negative symptoms measured on the scale for assessment of negative symptoms (avolition-apathy, anhedonia, alogia, and affective blunting). Secondary outcomes were remission of both negative and psychotic symptoms, psychotic
symptoms, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, compliance with medical treatment, adherence with treatment, client satisfaction, days in hospital care, and labour market affiliation. Results Levels of negative symptoms did not
differ between the intervention group and control group (1.72 v 1.81 points; estimated mean difference-0.10 (95% confidence interval 0.33 to 0.13), P=0.39). Participants receiving five years of OPUS treatment were more likely to remain in
contact with specialised mental health services (90.4% v 55.6%, P < 0.001), had higher client satisfaction (estimated mean difference 2.57 points (95% confidence interval 1.36 to 3.79), P< 0.001), and had a stronger working alliance(estimated mean difference 5.56 points (95%confidence interval 2.30 to 8.82), P=0.001) thanthe control group.
Conclusions: This trial tests SEI treatment for upto five years for patients with first episodeschizophrenia spectrum disorder; previous trialshave found treatment effects for programmeslasting from one to three years. The prolongedSEI treatment had few effects, which could bedue to the high level of treatment provided tocontrol participants and the late start ofspecialised treatment.

description: To analyze randomized trials with imperfect compliance, a standard approach is to estimate the local average treatment effect in the sub-population of compliers using randomization status as an instrumental variable. Though quantile analysis has been popular in general, the local (or complier) quantile treatment effect (cQTE) as a causal estimand has received insufficient attention. In this paper, we map out the details for the estimation, inference, and sensitivity analysis of the cQTE in a completely nonparametric setting. We propose to estimate the cQTE using nonparametric plug-in estimators of the cumulative distribution functions for the potential outcomes of the compliers. The cQTE estimator is shown to be asymptotically normal, with asymptotic variance estimated through kernel-smoothed density estimators. The procedure is easily extended to adjust for discrete covariates for gains in statistical efficiency. Moreover, by exploiting the stochastic monotonicity of the quantile functional, we develop sensitivity bounds for the cQTE when key assumptions such as exclusion restriction and instrument monotonicity are violated. Extensive simulations show that the proposed methods provide valid inference of the target local estimand and outperform standard intent-to-treat tests, especially under low compliance rates and/or heterogeneous treatment effects. A recent study on a government-funded health insurance program in India is analyzed as an illustration.

In this work we consider the case of disordered topological insulator nanowires and find, in contrast, that a zero Hall plateau emerges within a broad energy window close to the Dirac point. We numerically calculate the conductance and its distribution for a statistical ensemble of disordered nanowires, and use the conductance fluctuations to study the dependence of the insulating phase on system parameters, such as the nanowire length, disorder strength and the magnetic field.

Knowing and transforming: guiding adolescent learners toward epistemological transformation in their learning

This thesis explores the possibility of epistemological transformation for young adolescent learners in their first year of high school (Year 7). Through an exploration of the young learner and the role of conscious understanding of their attitudes to learning, this thesis develops processes and structures that may enable transformation. The theoretical underpinning of the thesis examines the neurological, social, physical and psychological changes of adolescence. Constructivist developmental theories are examined to explore the relationship between different stages of human development. Conscious awareness and reflection are seen as hallmarks of the changes humans make (Kegan 1982, 1994; Gebser 1985). However the question remains: who is raising the conscious awareness for learners concerning their learning? Memory, stored meanings and internal working schemas and human consciousness are explored in Knox’s (2003) model of attachment theory and the role of reflective function. The theory of reflective function is used to build a model which can be used to aid dialogue between a guide and the learner. An exploration of Carl Rogers' person-centred learning and the nature of relationship and dialogue provide a further background to the theoretical model. A questionnaire was developed using personal construct psychology processes, and influenced strongly by Knox’s model of reflective function and to facilitate dialogue between teacher and student around the young person’s learning. The collected data provided the basis for dialogue at the individual and school level and developed the quantitative section of the thesis. The questionnaire was undertaken by Year 7 students from three different schools. Analysis of this data indicated that aspects vital to success in the schooling of young people needed to be addressed and provided a rich vein of data for dialogue to promote conscious self-understanding and the possibility of epistemological transformation.

description: The confirmation of excess in $R_{D^*}$ at the LHCb is an indication of lepton flavor non-universality. Various different new physics operators and their coupling strengths, which provide a good fit to $R_D$, $R_{D^*}$ and $q^2$ spectra, were identfied previously. In this work, we try to find angular observables in $\bar{B} \to D^* τ\barν$ which enable us to distinguish between these new physics operators. We find that the $D^*$ polarization fraction $f_L(q^2)$ is a good discriminant of scalar and tensor new physics operators. The change in $\langle f_L(q^2) \rangle$, induced by scalar and tensor operators, is about three times larger than the expected uncertainty in the upcoming Belle measurement.

description: In the electromagnetic forming process (EMF, also known as magnetic pulse forming) the metal is deformed by applying a pressure generated by an intense, transient magnetic field. A great deal of research and investigation efforts are needed for gaining better understanding on the deformation mechanism in order to develop a suitable forming strategy and equipment. One way to reach this target is to employ suitable FE software to model the process. This investigation was partly conducted in the framework of a European project called EMF (G3RD-CT-2002-00798). The first part of the paper presents the relevant physical phenomena which govern the EMF process and their interactions. The physical coupling principle as well as the required numerical models are also established. In the second section some cases for which the so developed code can be used for virtual testing is presented for validation. Finally, numerical results are compared with experiments on a 3D model, highlighting the interest of numerical modeling for process improvements.
BIOINFORMATIC TOOLS FOR NEXT GENERATION TRANSCRIPTOMICS

Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2015

description: In the last few years the introduction of novel technologies known as ?next-generation sequencing? (NGS) has brought a major step forward in sequencing. These techniques have practically supplanted the conventional Sanger strategies that have been the principal method of sequencing DNA since the late 1970s. Different NGS platforms have been introduced, with the newest using ion-sensitive sensors to detect the incorporation of bases as opposed to the more commonly used fluorescent labelled nucleotides. Since the first techniques were introduced, both the sequencing runtime and the cost per sequenced base have dramatically decreased, and, at the current state of the art, a complete human genome can be fully sequenced in under 24 hours. On the other hand, the ever-increasing amount of short sequences (or reads) yielded per single run makes the processing of the data more difficult and challenging from a computational point of view. One of the most prominent and promising fields of application is RNA-Seq, an assay that provides a fast and reliable way to study transcriptomic variability on a whole-genome scale. Generally, in a RNA-Seq experiment, a RNA sample is converted in a cDNA library, which then undergoes several cycles of sequencing with a NGS method of choice. Usually, the resulting sequences are either mapped on the reference genome or assembled de novo without the aid of genomic sequence to produce a genome-scale transcription map, or trascriptome. The data analyzed in this thesis comes from a three year research project focused on the characterization of tissue- and individual-specific alternative splicing, and its regulation. Data consist of several RNA-Seq experiments performed on different human tissues, coming from three healthy individuals. A total of 18 sets of data (6 tissues from three individuals with 3 replicates for each) were studied. The work initially focused on the quantification of mitochondrial DNA and RNA in the six individuals, and its variability. Then, we developed a computational method for the identification of tissue- and individual- specific transcripts, able to perform a multi-sample comparison. The algorithm we implemented employs statistical test based on a variant of Shannon?s information entropy, in order to identify transcripts with an expression pattern presenting a significant bias towards one or more of the samples studied. The results obtained show the method to be robust and efficient, overcoming the need of performing pairwise comparison as with the algorithms currently available, providing a thorough and complete map of the extent of tissue-specificity of gene expression at the single individual level.

description: The present work discusses motion of neutral and charged particles in Reissner - Nordstrom spacetime. The constant energy paths are derived in a variational principle framework using the Jacobi metric which is parameterized by conserved particle energy. Of particular interest is the case of particle charge and Reissner-Nordstrom black hole charge being of same sign since this leads to a clash of opposing forces - gravitational (attractive) and Coulomb (repulsive). Our paper aims to compliment the recent works of Pugliese, Quevedo and Ruffini [1,2]. The energy dependent Gaussian curvature (induced by Jacobi metric), plays an important role in classifying the trajectories.

Using secondary school students’ own mobile devices: How teacher and student networks and practices engage with personal, heterogeneous mobile devices

Mobile learning is often presented as a new paradigm for learning. A new paradigm implies a new practice, which challenges traditional education. However research to underpin mobile learning is limited, the perspective of the teacher and exploration of the use of students’ personal heterogeneous mobile devices are mostly absent from the mobile learning literature. This research addresses this problem by exploring the implications of using student heterogeneous mobile devices in the classroom, including the perspective of the teacher. Classroom data was gathered in two six month phases, two years apart. In Phase 1 the students came from three Year 8 science classes. In Phase 2 the students came from a Year 8 science and maths class and a Year 7 Literacy class. Networks were used to analyse the interactions between students, their mobile devices, the learning object and the teacher. Networks articulated the teacher interactions with the actors in the classroom, revealing the newness of mobile devices but showing that it is manageable and accessible to the teacher. Context is a way of explaining learning with mobile devices. Drawing upon these researchers I explain that a student creates a learning context consisting of location (digital and physical space) agency and repertoire. The significance of mobile technology in education is that location, agency and repertoire can magnify the potential for learning and for disruption. A thoughtful and prepared teacher though can build up agency, access and develop repertoire, expand the location through technology and manage disruption in the classroom to help students learn. This suggests that mobile learning may be better reframed as learning with mobile technology rather than as a separate paradigm.

description: In this paper, the dynamic deformation behaviors of 2 aluminum alloys (AA6016, AA5182) and 2 steels (v 1158, FeP04) are investigated. Firstly, the test method, an improved Hopkinson pressure bar test, is introduced. Then, the test results are presented and analyzed. The strain rate range used in this study is between 290 s^(-1) and 1750 s^(-1).The test results show that the yield stresses of all four tested materials increase along with the increase of strain rate, but the ductility does not. An interesting finding is that the tested Al alloys demonstrated larger elongation than those of steels. In conventional tensile tests, as it is well known, the tensile elongation of low carbon steels is usually much higher than the one of Al alloys. So, it can be predicted that the aluminum alloys could have better formability than the steels in high speed forming processes, though the underlying mechanism is not fully understood.

description: We propose separability criteria for three-qubit states in terms of diagonal and anti-diagonal entries to detect entanglement with positive partial transposes. We report that the phases, that is, the angular parts of anti-diagonal entries, play a crucial role in determining whether a given three-qubit state is separable or entangled, and they must obey even an identity for separability in some cases. These criteria are strong enough to detect PPT (positive partial transpose) entanglement with nonzero volume. In several cases when all the entries are zero except for diagonal and anti-diagonal entries, we characterize separability using phases. These include the cases when anti-diagonal entries of such states share a common magnitude, and when ranks are less than or equal to six. We also compute the lengths of rank six cases, and find three-qubit separable states with lengths $8$ whose maximum ranks of partial transposes are $7$.

description: This paper proposes an out-of-sample extension framework for a global manifold learning algorithm (Isomap) that uses temporal information in out-of-sample points in order to make the embedding more robust to noise and artifacts. Given a set of noise-free training data and its embedding, the proposed framework extends the embedding for a noisy time series. This is achieved by adding a spatio-temporal compactness term to the optimization objective of the embedding. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first method for out-of-sample extension of manifold embeddings that leverages timing information available for the extension set. Experimental results demonstrate that our out-of-sample extension algorithm renders a more robust and accurate embedding of sequentially ordered image data in the presence of various noise and artifacts when compared to other timing-aware embeddings. Additionally, we show that an out-of-sample extension framework based on the proposed algorithm outperforms the state of the art in eye-gaze estimation.

description: The long-standing problem of whether the cosmological constant affects directly the deflection of light caused by a gravitational lens is reconsidered. We use a new approach based on the Hawking quasilocal mass of a sphere grazed by light rays and on its splitting into local and cosmological parts. Previous literature restricted to the cosmological constant is extended to any form of dark energy accelerating the universe in which the gravitational lens is embedded.

description: Neutrino flavor conversion studies based on astrophysical environments usually implement neutrino mixings, neutrino interactions with matter and neutrino self-interactions. In anisotropic media, the most general mean-field treatment includes neutrino mass contributions as well, that introduce a coupling between neutrinos and antineutrinos termed helicity or spin coherence. We discuss resonance conditions for helicity coherence for Dirac and Majorana neutrinos. We explore the role of these mean-field contributions on flavor evolution in the context of a binary neutron star merger remnant. We find that resonance conditions can be satisfied in neutron star merger scenarios while adiabaticity is not sufficient for efficient flavor conversion. We analyse our numerical findings by discussing general conditions to have multiple MSW-like resonances, in presence of non-linear feedback, in astrophysical environments.

description: To increase the number of pedestrian and bicycle facilities and to grow the number of people using those facilities in Kentucky more such projects need to be implemented. The Strategic Highway Investment Formula for Tomorrow (SHIFT) is a data-driven approach that Kentucky uses for prioritizing projects in the state, but its focus is auto-centric. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a prioritization scoring approach for pedestrian and bicycle projects that could be implemented into SHIFT. The study used the SHIFT–2022 pedestrian and bicycle projects to develop and evaluate different scoring scenarios. After scoring each project on its proposed project type and existing facilities, a composite score was developed for both pedestrian and bicycle projects. The sensitivity analysis examined the impact of the proposed scoring scenarios on pedestrian and/or bicycle projects as well as all projects considered at the regional level. Each scoring scenario affected the boost points allocated to each project by the Metropolitan Planning Organization and District. The results showed that the scenario that reduced each boost by 5 points and allocating them to the pedestrian and bicycle projects retained all pedestrian and bicycle projects in any scenario of project selection percentage. This scenario also had the largest number of projects that ranked higher than in the existing method with the greatest average rank change.

description: De fem regioner og Danske regioner gennemfører årlige undersøgelser af patienters
oplevelse i psykiatrien. Forældre til patienter i børne- og ungdomspsykiatrien
spørges ligeledes hvert år, mens pårørende til voksne patienter bliver
spurgt hvert tredje år. Senest i 2015. Undersøgelserne omfatter sengeafsnit og ambulant
psykiatri indenfor både voksenpsykiatrien og børne- og ungdomspsykiatrien.
Der er fem patient- og fire pårørendeundersøgelser.

Undersøgelsen er i 2016 gennemført blandt
• Indlagte og ambulante patienter i henholdsvis B&U- og voksenpsykiatrien
• Forældre til patienter i B&U-psykiatrien
• Indlagte patienter i retspsykiatrien

Formålet er at få viden om den brugeroplevede kvalitet i den regionale psykiatri.
Undersøgelserne er organiseret, så det er muligt at
• identificere og sammenligne forskelle i patienters oplevelser inden for
udvalgte temaer
• levere resultater på lokalt plan, som kan afdække områder, hvor der er
brug for kvalitetsforbedringer
• følge udviklingen over tid
• give beslutningstagere mulighed for at sammenligne områder.

Resultaterne bliver opgjort på landsplan og for de enkelte regioner, afdelinger og ambulatorier/afsnit. De pågældende organisatoriske enheder kan dermed bruge resultaterne fra LUP Psykiatri til at få et overblik over patienternes og de pårørendes oplevelser over tid og udpege, hvilke indsatsområder der er behov for at arbejde videre med for at forbedre den patient- og pårørende oplevede kvalitet. LUP Psykiatri er således et redskab til at arbejde med kvalitetsforbedringer på nationalt niveau samt på regions-/hospitals-, afdeling- og afsnitsniveau. LUP Psykiatri giver endvidere mulighed for løbende at monitorere politiske tiltag.

description: We study gravitational collapse with anisotropic pressures, whose end stage can mimic space-times that are seeded by galactic dark matter. To this end, we identify a class of space-times (with conical defects) that can arise out of such a collapse process, and admit stable circular orbits at all radial distances. These have a naked singularity at the origin. An example of such a space-time is seen to be the Bertrand space-time discovered by Perlick, that admits closed, stable orbits at all radii. Using relativistic two- fluid models, we show that our galactic space-times might indicate exotic matter, i.e one of the component fluids may have negative pressure for a certain asymptotic fall off of the associated mass density, in the Newtonian limit. We complement this analysis by studying some simple examples of Newtonian two-fluid systems, and compare this with the Newtonian limit of the relativistic systems considered.
