Essays on Inter-firm Ownership Network and Social Media Marketing
Creators: name: Wang, Xu
Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Year: 2017
Subjects: HB Economic Theory

description: There has been a growing debate on big data and analytics in recent
 years. Applying analytics to big data creates many opportunities for
 managers and policy makers to gain greater insight into their business so
 that they can improve their decision-making. This thesis employs novel
 approaches of data science to study economic and managerial topics. In
 particular, we combine the traditional econometric models with novel
 network measures and machine learning algorithms in exploring the big
 and high dimensional data of global inter-firm ownership network and
 Chinese C2C sellers' microblogs in social media, so as to provide managerial
 strategies for both firm-level and individual business.
 The first two studies investigate inter-firm ownership network and
 firm performance. By analysing the data of Italian firms in the period of
 debt crisis, the first study provides a deep insight into the relationship
 between firm performance and the interaction of firm-level centrality
 and business group size. The findings, together with the novel centrality
 measure we provide, contribute to the literature on inter-firm ownership
 network. The second study explores foreign ownership and firm performance
 from various perspectives. The results reveal that the foreignowned
 Italian firms are on average more productive than the ones in
 domestic-owned MNEs. In addition, we find that the Italian subsidiary
 with shorter organizational and geographical distance from their foreign
 owners are on average more productive.
 The third study focuses on business in social media. By exploiting
 the fact that Sina Weibo collaborates with Taobao (Chinas largest C2C ecommerce
 platform) to provide their sellers an easier way to promote
 their products using microblogs, we are able to examine the relationship
 between marketing aggressiveness and marketing popularity. Interestingly,
 we identify an optimal level of how aggressive Taobao sellers
 should be when promoting their products over SinaWeibo. This finding
 contributes to the existing literature on social media marketing, especially
 in the field of C2C business

Digging Roots and Remembering Relatives: Lakota Kinship and Movement in the Northern Great Plains from  the Wood Mountain Uplands across Lakóta Tȟamákȟočhe/Lakota Country, 1881-1940
Creators: Thomson, Claire
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Most written Lakota histories jump from the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, briefly describe the refuge in Canada many Lakota people sought, and then resume in 1881 when Chief Sitting Bull returned to the United States. Typically, the people who stayed in the Wood Mountain Uplands, in present-day Saskatchewan, after this time have been overlooked. This dissertation examines Lakota history after 1881 centred on Wood Mountain but connecting to many Lakota communities to bring a more holistic understanding to Lakota lived relations throughout Lakȟóta Tȟamákȟočhe/Lakota Country. The analysis rests within a framework of Lakota kinship and belonging to understand historical connections, movements, and decision making. Furthermore, this study demonstrates how Wood Mountain Lakota people slipped through the cracks of settler state government control and surveillance, sometimes deliberately as a strategy for maintaining self-determination on various levels and sometimes because of settler colonial administrations that sought to make and unmake Indians in overlapping, systematic, and sometimes arbitrary ways which served to sever Lakota ties to each other, place, sovereignty, and culture. Thus, the contrast of belonging—categories versus kin—comes into sharp relief. Lakȟóta Tȟamákȟočhe is more than the land and waters, places and spaces where Lakota people lived, travelled, and fought for, it is the realm of relationships and kinship—a landscape and kinscape that defies settler state geopolitical and social boundaries. Though Wood Mountain Lakota people were in the margins of state categories and Indian policies, they still felt settler colonialism full force. In some ways being in the margins afforded them more opportunities and, in some ways, it caused them more harm. However, Lakota experiences, movement, and resistance continued in relationship networks to kin and to land.

description: Raw data, generated data and trained models related to Investigations into the efficiency of computer-aided synthesis planning.AbstractEfficiency of machine learning (ML) models is crucial to minimize inference times and reduce carbon footprints of models deployed in production environments. Current models employed in retrosynthesis to generate a synthesis route from a target molecule to purchasable compounds are prohibitively slow. The model operates in single-step fashion in a tree search algorithm by predicting reactant molecules given a product molecule as input. In this study, we investigate the ability of alternative transformer architectures, knowledge distillation (KD) and simple hyper-parameter optimization to decrease inference times of the Chemformer model. Initially, we assess the ability of closely related transformer architectures and conclude that these models under-performed when using KD. Additionally, we investigate the effects of feature-based and response-based KD together with hyper-parameters optimized based on inference sample time and model accuracy. We find that although reducing model size and improving single-step speed are important, our results indicate that multi-step search efficiency is more significantly influenced by the diversity and confidence of single-step models. Based on this work, further research should use KD in combination with other techniques, as multi-step speed continues to prevent proper integration of synthesis planning. However, in Monte Carlo-based (MC) multi-step retrosynthesis, other factors play a crucial role in balancing exploration and exploitation during the search process, often outweighing the direct impact of single-step model speed and carbon footprints.
Economic impacts of fracture patterns in geothermal electricity production

Fractures

description: Geothermal heat has the potential to provide low-carbon, renewable electricity that could replace baseload generation historically provided by fossil fuels like natural gas or coal. Sandstones that have experienced protracted or deep burial offer widespread targets in the U.S. and worldwide for geothermal development, even where produced water is below 150 °C. Many sandstones produce gas or water with high effective well-test permeability. These responses likely reflect the effect of open fractures on permeability. Fractures are difficult to characterize in the subsurface. I used outcrop fractures that are analogs to those in the subsurface to provide insight into fracture network characteristics. I mapped fracture spacing in outcrops of Cambrian Potsdam sandstone, a unit in New York that is targeted for geothermal heat production. Guided by my outcrop data and other examples from the literature, I investigated the potential economic effects of pre-existing fracture networks by simulating production temperature for reservoirs with a range of fracture geometries using CMG STARS, a thermal compositional reservoir simulator. I used resultant temperature production profiles as input into techno-economic simulations to observe the magnitude of effects on annual electricity generation and levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). Results show that permeability is a key factor and that highly interconnected fractures can significantly delay thermal breakthrough, leading to improved reservoir economics compared with less interconnected fractures that might still sufficiently enhance permeability. In my field example, the connectivity of an initially favorable network was reduced by quartz cement deposits in narrow fracture connections, showing that protracted thermal exposure can degrade fracture permeability and limit geothermal production potential. While it is impossible to eliminate uncertainty regarding subsurface fracture characteristics, site-specific core observations can partly discriminate favorable and unfavorable targets
Experiences of Nurses on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in the Non- Critical Care Wards
Creators: Lebene Fiavem, Veronica Ami
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Nurses’ experiences in the performance of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in the non-critical care wards are seen to be emotionally and physically exhaustive. This is due to needed time sensitiveness and urgency which could influence the survival of patients who suffers cardiac arrest. This study explored the lived experiences of 11 nurses in the performance of CPR in non-critical care areas at the 37 Military Hospital in Ghana. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using interview guides. Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis steps were used to analyze data. The nurses' experiences that emerged from the study were grouped into five areas: Heart of Stone and Heart of Softness; Winning and Losing a Battle; Concentrating on the Moment; Mental strength and weakness and Physical Exhaustion and resources, Support and Education. The findings indicated that nurses working in the non-critical care areas find CPR a necessary procedure that challenges their emotions, ability to perform and self-confidence. Avenues for staff support and provision of logistics necessary for the adequate performance of CPR in the non-critical care areas in the hospital are vital to enhance practice and sustain clients' health.
Bean technology toolkit catalogue
Creators: name: TAAT Clearinghouse
Publisher: name: Gates Open Research
Year: 2022

description: This catalogue describes a series of technologies related to the modernization of common bean production in Africa. It is based on the combined efforts of the Project Platform for Agricultural Solutions (ProPAS), an information portal, and the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation, a large collaborative program that is deploying agricultural solutions across the continent. Both activities address the imperative to better connect proven technologies to those who need them, but each undertakes this goal differently. Common bean crops are one of TAAT’s priority commodities because of their huge importance to food and nutritional security, and livelihood improvement across Africa. It is also targeted as an agro-industrial crop for processing and trading on domestic and regional markets. During its compilation, ProPAS has accumulated several technologies that specifically address this commodity and we have compiled them into a “technology toolkit” designed to advance understanding and encourage adoption and - 2 - investment into the proven agricultural solutions that advance this crop. This is one of several catalogues that are produced as a joint ProPAS-TAAT activity. For more information on the featured technologies or other solutions toward transformative impact on agriculture on beans and other crops in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), contact Dr. Innocent Musabyimana i.musabyimana@cgiar.org at or visit the TAAT internet site www.taatafrica.org.

Cassava processing technology toolkit catalogue. Clearinghouse Technical Report Series 013
Creators: name: TAAT Clearinghouse
Publisher: name: Gates Open Research
Year: 2022

description: The purpose of this technology catalogue is to advance high quality cassava flour (HQCF) as a substitute for wheat in Africa. While Africa has the potential to increase its wheat production, it appears to be small in proportion to the massive demand for imported wheat. For example, Africa imported US $11 billion from eight European and North American countries in 2020, a massive expenditure of foreign reserves that could be better directed toward longer-term development goals. At the same time, cassava is well suited to African agricultural conditions and may be processed into flour that can be substituted for wheat as documented in this catalogue. In the past, cassava was too widely viewed as a subsistence crop and food for the poor, when in reality it has enormous agro-industrial application and potential. One of these applications is processing into flour useful in baking and other food manufacturing purposes. The most immediate application of cassava flour is its partial substitution in bread and other baked products, but due to its different chemical properties, industrial-scale producers must make procedural adjustments. This catalogue draws an important distinction between fermented and unfermented cassava flours, and offers eight key technologies that promote the production and use of unfermented cassava flour and the better use of cassava by-products.

Hume's Epistemic Sentimentalism
Creators: Okamura, Taro
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Hume's epistemology in A Treatise of Human Nature has generated a great deal of research. In particular, in the section titled "Conclusion of this Book" at the end of Book One of the Treatise, it is ambiguous exactly what Hume's epistemological position is. While Hume arrives at a radical scepticism that gives no authority to reason at all, he remains committed to the use of reason in spite of that scepticism. The sceptical interpretations claim that Hume has given up on epistemic justification for the use of reason, while the naturalistic interpretations hold that Hume justifies certain kinds of reasoning by appealing to some natural psychological properties with reasoning.

I find the naturalistic interpretations persuasive in that they capture Hume's stable and continuous commitment to reason. However, some serious problems have been directed at the naturalistic interpretations: the problem of normativity (it is unclear why we should follow certain naturalistic standards) and the problem of truth-insensitivity (the psychological properties that the naturalistic interpretations focus on are truth-insensitive.). In this dissertation, I aim to develop Hume's naturalistic epistemology in such a way that it can respond to these problems. In particular, I would like to focus on Hume's theory of passions, which has not been mentioned much in the study of his epistemology. I argue that Hume’s account of the “indirect passions” provide a response to the problem of normativity, and his account of the “calm passions” offers a reply to the problem of truth-insensitivity. In this way, my aim is to elaborate Hume's naturalistic epistemology into what I call “epistemic sentimentalisim” that some passions play crucial roles in epistemic justification. I also argue that my interpretation and the "virtue theoretic interpretation" that has been so influential in recent years complement each other in significant ways.

Learning Agent State Online with Recurrent Generate-and-Test
Creators: Samani, Abolfazl
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

The concept of state is fundamental to a reinforcement learning agent. The state is the input to the agent's action-selection policy, value functions, and environmental model. A reinforcement learning agent interacts with the environment by performing actions and receiving observations, resulting in the agent's data stream of experience. In many cases, the observations only provide partial information about the state, and the agent needs to learn the state directly based on the data stream of experience. We refer to the state directly learned from the data stream of experience as the agent state. Existing methods based on gradient descent, including Real-Time Recurrent Learning (RTRL) and Backpropagation Through Time (BPTT), can learn the agent state. However, these methods are computationally expensive, making them unsuitable for online learning of the agent state.

In this thesis, we propose computationally efficient methods based on the generate-and-test approach to learn the agent state. We study the effectiveness of our generate-and-test methods for learning the agent state on two partially observable multi-step prediction problems---the trace conditioning problem and the trace patterning problem. The trace conditioning problem focuses on the agent's ability to remember a cue presented in the past to predict a signal in the future. The trace patterning problem is an extension of the trace conditioning problem in which a non-linear combination of observation signals triggers the arrival of a temporally distant signal. In the trace patterning problem, the agent must learn non-linear configurations of observation signals to predict the signal of interest accurately. Our experiments show that the proposed generate-and-test methods can learn the agent state online and make accurate predictions in both problems mentioned above.

Art history as Janus : Sergei Eisenstein on the visual arts
Creators: name: Hannouch, Hanin
Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Year: 2017
Subjects: NX Arts in general

description: My dissertation deals with the connection between
 cinema and art history, and their respective ways of looking
 upon artworks, exemplified by the writings of Sergei Eisenstein
 (1898-1948)
 on the visual arts.
 In the first part of my work, I focus on four of Eisenstein's
 texts dealing with three painters he considers cinematic:
 'Yermolova' (1937) studying Valentin Serov's portrait of Maria
 Yermolova, 'El Greco' ( 1937) and 'El Greco y el Cine' (written
 between 1939 and 1941) considering the Cretan painter
 Domenikos Theotokopoulos, and lastly 'Piranesi or the Fluidity
 of Form' (undated, presumably 1947) analyzing Giovanni
 Battista Piranesi's etchings. Eisenstein reads in the present,
 artworks taken from the past, in order to reimagine
 them in the
 future through cinema. It is this tension that I expose by
 reshaping the content of these articles around key concepts or
 around the paintings constitutive of Eisenstein's arguments,
 which I scrutinize in the context of his own film theory. I also
 provide a parallel art historical interpretation to them.
 In the second part of my work, I examine Eisenstein's art
 historical sources, highlighting the extent of his reliance on Hugo
 Kehrer, Albert Giesecke, and JeanMartin
 Charcot. I outline the
 circulation of ideas between them, and how they impact his
 overall approach to the visual arts and his conceptualization of
 the presence of compositional factors that enable the operation of
 cinema in static media.

Introgression of Clubroot Resistance from Brassica oleracea into B. napus Canola through Interspecific Cross
Creators: Zhang, Zhongyang

Year: 2022

Clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin is a serious threat to canola production in Canada. Most of the available clubroot-resistant canola cultivars carry major resistance genes of the Brassica A genome. However, the ineffectiveness of this type of resistance has been reported in Canada. On the other hand, clubroot resistance of the C genome of B. oleracea is under quantitative genetic control; this type of resistance is expected to provide a durable resistance in canola. The objective of this thesis research was to investigate the prospects of introgression of the C-genome resistance from B. oleracea into B. napus canola through interspecific hybridization between these two species. For this, B. napus × B. oleracea var. acephala (clubroot resistant) interspecific hybrids were produced through application of in vitro ovule culture technique. Following this approach, 12 hybrids from a total of 175 pollinations were obtained. The F1 plants were self-pollinated for F2 seeds and backcrossed to the B. napus parent for BC1 seeds, and the F2 and BC1 populations were self-pollinated to produce F3 and BC1F2 populations. The F1 plants exhibited high sterility and produced only 0.168 seeds per self-pollination and 0.064 seeds per cross-pollination with the B. napus parent. The F2 and BC1 populations were evaluated for agronomic and seed quality traits. These two populations required around 70 and 40 days more time on average to flower as compared with the B. napus parent, and plants flowering earlier than the B. napus parent could be found in these populations. The average erucic acid in F3 and BC1F2 seeds, harvested from the F2 and BC1 plants, was 13.4 and 6.8%, and glucosinolate content was 37.4 and 30.3 μmol/g seed, respectively. Nevertheless, zero erucic acid and low glucosinolate plants could be obtained from both populations. Plants exhibiting resistance to pathotype 3H could be found in F3 and F4, but not in the BC1F2 population. Several F3 plants had nuclear DNA content similar to the B. napus parent. In addition to the above-mentioned populations, different advanced generation populations of B. napus × B. oleracea vars. capitata and gemmifera (clubroot resistant) interspecific crosses were also evaluated for resistance to pathotypes 3H and 3A. Selection for resistant plants and self-pollination of the selected plants was carried out up to F9 generation, from where a clubroot resistant line was achieved from B. napus × B. oleracea var. capitata cv. Bindsachsener interspecific cross. B. oleracea-specific simple-sequence repeat (SSR) marker alleles could be detected in the clubroot-resistant F8 plants of this cross. However, association between the marker alleles and clubroot resistance could not be established. The results from this thesis research demonstrated the prospects of developing clubroot resistant canola lines from the B. napus × B. oleracea interspecific crosses.
Agricultural transformation of Kenya’s Makueni drylands. Clearinghouse Technical Report Series 004
Creators: name: TAAT Clearinghouse
Publisher: name: Gates Open Research
Year: 2022

description: The Clearinghouse recently submitted a strategy to the Rockefeller Foundation “Food Systems Vision 2050 Prize”. It describes a process of agricultural transformation in Makueni, Kenya and includes the roles of several technologies promoted by the Technologies for Africa Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) program. While the awards are relatively small, its 10 winners form an international panel of experts to advise on the future of agriculture. The TAAT Clearinghouse is participating in this initiative to increase awareness of the program’s approach toward transforming African agriculture and to examine this process in a more holistic manner. There are five main goals of the Food System Vision 2050 program: 1) to build a network of food system movements; 2) to infuse more hope into people's view of the future; 3) to stimulate new innovations and patents that strengthen food system performance; 4) to forge new multi-stakeholder partnerships between industry, policy, academia, and civil society; and 5) to generate Visions that become futuristic food systems projects to scale and positively impact upon large numbers of Places and People (Rockefeller Foundation 2019). The conceptual relationship between TAAT and the Food System Vision 2050 raise exciting possibilities. Indeed, TAAT operates as a network of its Commodity and Enabler Compacts to raise awareness of the African Development Bank’s Feed Africa Strategy, in part through fostering technology-product linkages to the private sector (TAAT 2019). It seeks to infuse hope and action toward Africa’s food self-sufficiency, agro-processing capacities and its future role in global trade (TAAT 2019). But as TAAT’s name implies, it is strongly oriented toward technologies and partnerships built around them, whereas Vision 2050 embraces a more balanced, six-themed approach consisting of equal parts environment, diets, economics, culture, policy and technology (Rockefeller Foundation 2019). Each strategic Vision must meet exacting requirements concerning its content around these themes and beneficiary coverage, being applicable to a single country and no more than an area of 100,000 km2 .
Quantitative trait loci mapping of rust resistance and agronomic traits in the doubled haploid spring wheat population  ‘HYAYT12-10’ × ‘GP146’
Creators: Ciechanowska, Izabela L.

Marker-assisted selection requires the identification of molecular markers associated with major genes and quantitative trait loci (QTL) using linkage analysis. In this study, we used 167 doubled haploid (DH) lines derived from two unregistered spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) parental lines that belong to the Canada Western Special Purpose (CWSP) class to map QTLs associated with five traits using inclusive composite interval mapping (ICIM). Using ICIM, least square means phenotype data across 3-4 environments, and a genetic map of 2,676 SNPs out of the wheat 90K SNP array, we identified ten QTLs associated with maturity (4A and 5B), plant lodging (4B, 5A, 5D, and 7D), grain yield (2D), leaf rust (4A) and stem rust (1A and 2B). Each QTL individually accounted for 6.0-22.3% of the phenotypic variance and together accounted for 8.6-38.2% of each trait. QTLs identified for rusts using ICIM had a minor effect (6.0-9.0%) or a major effect (22.3%). Our major effect QTL at 22.3% was discovered on chromosome 2B and contributed to stem rust response. Its physical location has been associated with disease response in previous studies. Results from this study provide additional valuable information to wheat researchers, in particular that the area on chromosome 2B should be considered for future analyses.
Small-scale farm mechanization catalogue. Clearinghouse Technical Report Series 015
Creators: name: TAAT Clearinghouse
Publisher: name: Gates Open Research
Year: 2022

description: Small-scale mechanization is the key to reducing drudgery and increasing productivity among African farmers. For too long farming in Africa is regarded as a path to poverty rather than a profitable agribusiness. This is due in large part for dependency upon tedious hand labor, poor returns to effort and lack of investment into farming systems. A wide range of small-scale equipment is available to improve returns to labor and change this poor image of farming. This equipment include tillers, power weeders, power sprayers, soil augers, irrigation systems, multi-crop threshers and a host of other equipment that are becoming commercially available for the first time. Profitable use of these equipment is not guaranteed because their use requires new skillsets, rigorous maintenance, and safety precautions. At the same time, expanded reliance upon this equipment provides economic opportunity through their distribution and service provision. This catalogue provides insight into this useful farming equipment.
Leveraging Translations for Lexical Semantics
Creators: Bao, Hongchang
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Computational lexical semantics is the study of word meanings which involves algorithms and ontologies.  Computation of semantic similarity plays an important role in various applications of natural language processing, including information retrieval, machine translation, and question answering. Most prior work on computing meaning similarity focus on sense definitions or the relational structure of lexical resources. Lexical translations constitute another important component in lexical resources such as BabelNet and CLICS. In this thesis, we explore the idea of leveraging multilingual translations to compute semantic similarity. In particular: (1) we posit and investigate the hypothesis that there are no universal colexifications, (2) propose an algorithm to align concepts across lexical resources, and (3) develop novel approaches to detect sense synonymy across different contexts. Our results in these three tasks confirm the utility of translations in computational lexical semantics.
Millet and sorghum technology toolkit catalogue. Clearinghouse Technical Report Series 014
Creators: name: TAAT Clearinghouse
Publisher: name: Gates Open Research
Year: 2022

description: This catalogue describes a suite of technologies related to the modernization of sorghum & millet production in Africa. It is based upon the combined efforts of the Project Platform for Agricultural Solutions (ProPAS), an information internet site, and the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation, a large collaborative program that is deploying agricultural solutions across the continent. Both activities are based upon the imperative to better connect proven technologies to those who need them, but each undertakes this goal in a very different manner. Millet and sorghum are one of TAAT’s priority commodities because of their huge importance to food and nutritional security, and rural development in general across Africa. They are also targeted as an agro-industrial crop for processing and trade within regions markets. In the course of its compilation, ProPAS has accumulated several technologies that specifically address these commodities and we have compiled them into a 2 “Technology Catalogue” designed to advance understanding and encourage adoption and investment into the proven agricultural solutions that advance these crops. This is one of several catalogues produced as a joint ProPAS-TAAT activity. For more information on the featured technologies or other solutions toward transformative impact on production of small grain crops in Sub-Saharan Africa, contact the Compact Leader Dr. Dougbedji Fatondji from the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) by email at d.fatondji@cgiar.org.
