Attitudes toward the elderly : relationships between registered nurses’ attitudes and a set of selected characteristics of the nurses
Creators: name: Loh, Man Yeow
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the attitudes of registered nurses toward the elderly, and to identify the relationships between nurses' attitudes and the nurses, age, educational level, agency of employment, length of employment in present job, amount of time spent with elderly clients, and whether the nurses have taken a course or advanced education in Gerontological Nursing. Two hundred forty-one registered nurses from three health care settings (acute care, extended care and community) were recruited for the study. The "Opinion About People" Scale was used to measure nurses' attitudes. The results of the study suggest that registered nurses from the three health care settings all have positive attitudes toward the elderly. Type of health care setting, age, length of employment in present job, amount of time spent with elderly clients, and advanced education in Gerontological Nursing all affect attitudes of nurses to some degree. Level of nursing education is the only variable that is not correlated with nurses' attitudes. Registered nurses from the community setting show more positive attitudes toward the elderly. Older nurses reported more "realistic toughness"/cynicism but less anxiety toward aging. They are also more supportive of public responsibility for the elderly than younger nurses. The longer the nurses work in their present job, the less positive their attitudes. Nurses who spend more time with the elderly clients reported stronger support for family responsibility toward the aged. Finally, nurses who have taken a course or advanced education in Gerontological Nursing show more positive attitudes toward the elderly than those who have not taken a course or advanced education.

description: Using multipoint Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations in an unusual string-of-pearls configuration, we examine in detail observations of the reformation of a fast magnetosonic shock observed on the upstream edge of a foreshock transient structure upstream of Earth's bow shock. The four MMS spacecraft were separated by several hundred km, comparable to suprathermal ion gyro-radius scales or several ion inertial lengths. At least half of the shock reformation cycle was observed, with a new shock ramp rising up out of the "foot" region of the original shock ramp. Using the multipoint observations, we convert the observed time-series data into distance along the shock normal in the shock's rest frame. That conversion allows for a unique study of the relative spatial scales of the shock's various features, including the shock's growth rate, and how they evolve during the reformation cycle. Analysis indicates that: the growth rate increases during reformation, electron-scale physics play an important role in the shock reformation, and energy conversion processes also undergo the same cyclical periodicity as reformation. Strong, thin electron-kinetic-scale current sheets and large-amplitude electrostatic and electromagnetic waves are reported. Results highlight the critical cross-scale coupling between electron-kinetic- and ion-kinetic-scale processes and details of the nature of nonstationarity, shock-front reformation at collisionless, fast magnetosonic shocks.

description: Identifying the leptons inside jets is critical for the measurements of Higgs boson and the flavor physics program at the CEPC, a proposed Higgs/Z factory with the main ring circumference of 100 km. Using the CEPC baseline software, we analyze the identification performance of leptons generated inside a jet. The jet leptons are identified with typical efficiency and mis-identification rate of 98% and 1% for energy higher than 2 GeV, with the $Z\to bb$ process at 91.2 GeV center-of mass energy. At the benchmark channel of the CEPC flavor program of $B_{c}\to τν$ with $τ\to eνν$, the electrons are identified with inclusive efficiency times purity of 97%, providing sufficient signal selection for the physics potential study. Compared to the single leptons, we found that these jet leptons identification efficiency degrades about 1-3%, and the mis-identification rate increases by less than 1% at the same working point. We analyze this effect and found that it is mainly caused by defects in the particle flow reconstruction code in the calorimeters. The dependence between the performance of the shower reconstruction and the lepton identification is quantified.

description: This study investigated university libraries as STEAM learning ecosystems with a focus on Nigerian federal university libraries. The study was guided by four (4) specific objectives while employing a qualitative research approach. The population is 50, comprising university librarians in all the federal universities in Nigeria. The entire population was studied. A semi-structured interview protocol was used to collect data. However, data collected were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed that federal university libraries in Nigeria engage in the strategic selection of information resources and promotion of STEAM learning-based services. It also revealed the provision of a wide range of teaching, learning and research resources in print and non-print formats for STEAM. Poor funding and management's poor perception of the library are among the challenges facing university libraries from becoming ecosystems for STEAM learning. Based on the findings, the study recommended that university libraries should be made state-of-the-art facilities, purposefully built and equipped to support innovativeness and further promote STEAM learning.

description: A challenge preventing successful inverse kinematics measurements with heavy nuclei that are not fully stripped is identifying and tagging the beam particles. For this purpose, the HEavy ISotope Tagger (HEIST) has been developed. HEIST utilizes two micro-channel plate timing detectors to measure time of flight, a multi-sampling ion chamber to measure energy loss, and a high purity Ge detector to identify isomer decays and calibrate the isotope identification system. HEIST has successfully identified $^{198}$Pb and other nearby nuclei at energies of about 75 MeV/A. In the experiment discussed, a typical cut containing 89\% of all $^{198}$Pb$^{+80}$ in the beam had a purity of 86\%. We examine the issues of charge state contamination. The observed charge state populations of these ions are presented and are moderately well described by the charge state model GLOBAL.

description: A scintillating fibre tracker is proposed to measure elastic proton scattering at very small angles in the ATLAS experiment at CERN. The tracker will be located in so-called Roman Pot units at a distance of 240 m on each side of the ATLAS interaction point. An initial validation of the design choices was achieved in a beam test at DESY in a relatively low energy electron beam and using slow off-the-shelf electronics. Here we report on the results from a second beam test experiment carried out at CERN, where new detector prototypes were tested in a high energy hadron beam, using the first version of the custom designed front-end electronics. The results show an adequate tracking performance under conditions which are similar to the situation at the LHC. In addition, the alignment method using so-called overlap detectors was studied and shown to have the expected precision.

title: A Visual Sociology of White Woman: Investigating and Creating Affective Performances of Anti-Racist White Femininities
Creators: name: Halász, Katalin
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2022

description: White affect is a new sociological concept which I develop for studying whiteness. The
approach I take in this thesis insists that the affective experiences of bodies are central in
the making of whiteness. I deconstruct existing conceptualizations that frame whiteness
as an unmarked norm. To better understand whiteness as a racial category, I shift the
lens to analyze whiteness as a product of intercorporeal and intersubjective affective
performances of 'race' and gender. By investigating the affects that entangle the white
female body, we can begin to understand the embodied meaning-making processes of
anti-racist white femininities which, in turn, allow us to also comprehend the very
production of the figure of 'white woman'.

This thesis investigates white femininities in two anti-racist contexts, and is based on a
combination of semi-structured interviewing with artistic research methods. I explore
the production of anti-racist white femininities in the life histories of eleven women
who have been active in anti-racist and feminist movements in Europe, and in four antiracist
performances that I created and staged: I Love Black Men (UK, 2011), Cruising
Black Women (Germany, 2013), The Blush Machine (Bolivia, 2013) and The Chamber of
White (Denmark, 2014). By combining the interviews with the creation of performative
situations I am able to study the affects of the visually and viscerally present white
female body. The performance of an artful live sociology, which is at the centre of this
thesis, expands the field of Visual Sociology.

Applicability of the two-particle quantization condition to partially-quenched theories

description: Partial quenching allows one to consider correlation functions and amplitudes that do not arise in the corresponding unquenched theory. For example, physical $s$-wave pion scattering can be decomposed into $I=0$ and $2$ amplitudes, while, in a partially-quenched extension, the larger symmetry group implies that there are more than two independent scattering amplitudes. It has been proposed that the finite-volume quantization condition of Lüscher holds for the correlation functions associated with each of the two-particle amplitudes that arise in partially-quenched theories. Using partially-quenched chiral perturbation theory, we show that this proposal fails for those correlation functions for which the corresponding one-loop amplitudes do not satisfy $s$-wave unitarity. For partially-quenched amplitudes that, while being unphysical, do satisfy one-loop $s$-wave unitarity, we argue that the proposal is plausible. Implications for previous work are discussed.

description: The discovery of true solar analogues is fundamental for a better understanding of the Sun and of the solar system. The open cluster M67 offers a unique opportunity to search for solar analogues because its chemical composition and age are very similar to those of the Sun. We analyze FLAMES spectra of a large number of M67 main sequence stars to identify solar analogues in this cluster.We first determine cluster members which are likely not binaries, by combining proper motions and radial velocity measurements. We concentrate our analysis on the determination of stellar effective temperature, using analyses of line-depth ratios and H$α$ wings, making a direct comparison with the solar spectrum obtained with the same instrument. We also compute the lithium abundance for all the stars.Ten stars have both the temperature derived by line-depth ratios and H$α$ wings within 100 K from the Sun. From these stars we derive, assuming a cluster reddening $E(B-V)=0.041$, the solar colour $(B-V)_\odot=0.649\pm0.016$ and a cluster distance modulus of 9.63. Five stars are most similar (within 60 K) to the Sun and candidates to be true solar twins. These stars have also a low Li content, comparable to the photospheric abundance of the Sun, likely indicating a similar mixing evolution. We find several candidates for the best solar analogues ever. These stars are amenable to further spectroscopic investigations and planet search. The solar colours are determined with rather high accuracy with an independent method, as well as the cluster distance modulus.

Fracture toughness design in equine hoof wall
Creators: name: Bertram, John E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study applied an engineering -fracture mechanics approach to the investigation of the fracture resistance of Equine hoof wall. The fracture mechanics parameters of stress intensity factor (K), strain energy release rate (G) and the J-integral (J) were used to determine the effect of notch orientation and specimen hydration on fracture, using the compact tension test geometry. The J-integral was found to provide the best indication of fracture behaviour because it is not based on strict linear elastic behaviour, as are K and G. Hoof wall has greatest fracture resistance for cracks running vertically, parallel to the tubular structures found in hoof wall keratin. For fully hydrated material tested in this direction, the mean critical J value at failure was 1.19 x 10[sup 5] J/m[sup 2] . This was nearly three times larger than the value determined for the weakest orientation, in which the crack ran parallel to the material between the tubules. Hydration level was also found to profoundly affect the fracture toughness. An intermediate hydration level (75X RH) gave the highest mean critical J values (2.28 x 10 J/m[sup 2]), which represented a two-fold increase over fully-hydrated and dehydrated material. These results have been related to the morphology and function of the hoof in the living animal.
The true mechanism of spontaneous order from turbulence in two-dimensional superfluid manifolds

description: In a two-dimensional (2D) turbulent fluid containing point-like vortices, Lars Onsager predicted that adding energy to the fluid can lead to the formation of persistent clusters of like-signed vortices, i.e., Onsager vortex (OV) clusters. In the evolution of 2D superfluid turbulence in a uniform disk-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), it was discovered that a pair of OV clusters with opposite signs can form without any energy input. This striking spontaneous order was explained as due to a vortex evaporative-heating mechanism, i.e., annihilations of vortex-antivortex pairs which remove the lowest-energy vortices and thereby boost the mean energy per vortex. However, in our search for exotic OV states in a boundaryless 2D spherical BEC, we found that OV clusters never form despite the annihilations of vortex pairs. Our analysis reveals that contrary to the general belief, vortex-pair annihilation emits intense sound waves, which damp the motion of all vortices and hence suppress the formation of OV clusters. We also present unequivocal evidences showing that the true mechanism underlying the observed spontaneous OV state is the escaping of vortices from the BEC boundary. Uncovering this mechanism paves the way for a comprehensive understanding of emergent vortex orders in 2D manifolds of superfluids driven far from equilibrium.

description: Timonius wallichianus Valeton (1909a: 36)
Type: — SINGAPORE. Sin. loc., 1822 (♀ and ♂), Wallich s.n. [EIC 6217] (lectotype K-W [K001123325], first step designated in Wong (1988), second step designated in Wong et al. (2019); isolectotypes BR [BR0000005754595], K-W [K001123326], PH [PH 00023297]).
Notes: —Although T. wallichianus was excluded in early enumerations of the Bornean flora (Merrill 1921a, Masamune 1942), it has been more recently recorded in East Kalimantan (Sidiyasa et al. 1999). The name “ Bobea wallichiana ” was invalidly published by Korthals (1851: 211), lacking any description or diagnosis. Therefore, Valeton’s name was incorrectly stated in protologue as a combination “ Timonius wallichianus (Korth.) Valeton ”. Valeton (1909a) proceeded to equate T. wallichianus with T. rumphii sensu Hooker (1880: 127) non Candolle (1830: 461), a misapplied name that was based on the specimen Wallich s.n. [EIC 6217]. The Wallich specimen was cited in Valeton’s protologue and indeed represents T. wallichianus, and hence Wong (1988) cited it as the holotype of T. wallichianus. However, a Malacca collection by Ridley and collections from Banka by Teijsmann and Kobus were also cited in Valeton’s protologue. The original material of T. wallichianus therefore comprises several elements, and the use of the term holotype in Wong (1988) is a correctable error that should be corrected to lectotype. Although Wong (1988) is considered to have effectively lectotypified this name, a second-step lectotypification was performed in Wong et al. (2019) as there are two specimens of the Wallich collection in K-W.

description: We present an approach which enables to state about the existence of phase synchronization in coupled chaotic oscillators without having to measure the phase. This is done by observing the oscillators at special times, and analyzing whether this set of points is localized. In particular, we show that this approach is fruitful to analyze the onset of phase synchronization in chaotic attractors whose phases are not well defined, as well as, in networks of non-identical spiking/bursting neurons connected by chemical synapses.

description: We present the results of theoretical studies on operations with charge qubits in the system composed of two tunnel-coupled semiconductor quantum dots whose two lowest states (localized in different dots) define the logical qubit states while two excited states (delocalized between the dots) serve for the electron transfer from one dot to another under the influence of the laser pulse. It is shown that in the case of small energy separation between the excited levels, the optimal (from the viewpoint of minimal single-qubit operation time and maximum operation fidelity) strategy is to tune the laser frequency between the excited levels. The pulse parameters for implementation of the quantum NOT operation are determined. Analytical results obtained in the rotating-wave approximation are confirmed by rigorous numerical calculations.

description: We have grown single crystals of Na$_2$BaNi(PO$_4$)$_2$, a new spin-1 equilateral triangular lattice antiferromagnet (ETLAF), and performed magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and thermal conductivity measurements at ultralow temperatures. The main results are (i) at zero magnetic field, Na$_2$BaNi(PO$_4$)$_2$ exhibits a magnetic ordering at 430 mK with a weak ferromagnetic moment along the $c$ axis. This suggests a canted 120$^\circ$ spin structure, which is in a plane including the crystallographic $c$ axis due to the existence of an easy-axis anisotropy and ferromagnetically stacked along the $c$ axis; (ii) with increasing field along the $c$ axis, a 1/3 magnetization plateau is observed which means the canted 120$^\circ$ spin structure is transformed to a up up down (UUD) spin structure. With even higher fields, the UUD phase further evolves to possible V and V' phases; (iii) with increasing field along the $a$ axis, the canted 120$^\circ$ spin structure is possibly transformed to a umbrella phase and a V phase. Therefore, Na$_2$BaNi(PO$_4$)$_2$ is a rare example of spin-1 ETLAF with single crystalline form to exhibit easy-axis spin anisotropy and series of quantum spin state transitions.

When the graphs are sparse, conjugate gradient solvers or fixed-point iterations bring our algorithm into the sub-cubic domain. Experiments on graphs from bioinformatics and other application domains show that it is often more than a thousand times faster than previous approaches. We then explore connections between diffusion kernels \citep{KonLaf02}, regularization on graphs \citep{SmoKon03}, and graph kernels, and use these connections to propose new graph kernels. Finally, we show that rational kernels \citep{CorHafMoh02,CorHafMoh03,CorHafMoh04} when specialized to graphs reduce to the random walk graph kernel.

The illness experience of clients undergoing surgical intervention for coronary artery disease : clients’ perceptions and concerns
Creators: name: Yamada, Patrice Keiko
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study was designed to investigate the perceptions and concerns of clients who underwent surgical intervention for coronary artery disease. The purpose of the study was to determine clients' viewpoints of their illness experience. A phenomenological approach was used to guide data collection. Questions from a semi-structured interview guide elicited clients' retrospective perceptions and concerns regarding their illness experience. An analytic framework of "benchmarks" and "themes" was developed to examine the data which arose from the interviews. The clients perceived and explained their illness in ways different from professionals. Clients relied on past experience and socially accepted ideas to make sense of their illness and health care. Throughout their illness, clients were primarily concerned with concrete phenomena that they perceived might hamper their recovery from illness. Determining progress was an important way clients coped with illness. The findings indicate that nurses must consider the client's viewpoint if effective care is to be given. In order to reduce the discrepancy between clients and professionals, nurses must incorporate clients' viewpoints into the plan of care. The findings of this study have implications for nursing education as well as research.

description: We report experimental measurements of the acoustic emission associated with the bursting of a gas bubble at the free surface of a non-newtonian fluid. On account of the viscoelastic properties of the fluid, the bubble is generally elongated. The associated frequency and duration of the acoustic signal are discussed with regard to the shape of the bubble and successfully accounted for by a simple linear model. The acoustic energy exhibits a high sensitivity to the dynamics of the thin film bursting, which demonstrates that, in practice, it is barely possible to deduce from the acoustic measurements the total amount of energy released by the event. Our experimental findings provide clues for the understanding of the signals from either volcanoes or foams, where one observes respectively, the bursting of giant bubbles at the free surface of lava and bubble bursting avalanches.

description: Il ruolo della traduzione nell’insegnamento delle lingue straniere è  sempre stato oggetto di controversie e dibattiti nel campo della  linguistica applicata. Questo studio si propone di mettere in evidenza  gli aspetti che rendono utile il suo utilizzo nel campo della didattica  delle lingue. Lo studio si basa su un principio fondamentale secondo il  quale la traduzione è un’attività totalmente spontanea e un processo  cognitivo che non può essere evitato. È pertanto importante insegnare  agli studenti che apprendono una lingua straniera il modo corretto di  tradurre per aiutarli ad evitare interferenze e a controllare il  trasferimento delle conoscenze da una lingua ad un’altra. La traduzione  promuove il concetto di bilinguismo e se utilizzata insieme alle abilità  di lettura, ascolto, parlato e scrittura può diventare un valido  strumento didattico, completo, efficace ed efficiente per l’insegnamento  di qualsiasi lingua straniera.

description: Wikipedia is nowadays a widely used encyclopedia, and one of the most visible sites on the Internet. Its strong principle of collaborative work and free editing sometimes generates disputes due to disagreements between users. In this article we study how the wikipedian community resolves the conflicts and which roles do wikipedian choose in this process. We observed the users behavior both in the article talk pages, and in the Arbitration Committee pages specifically dedicated to serious disputes. We first set up a users typology according to their involvement in conflicts and their publishing and management activity in the encyclopedia. We then used those user types to describe users behavior in contributing to articles that are tagged by the wikipedian community as being in conflict with the official guidelines of Wikipedia, or conversely as being well featured.

description: Brown dwarfs with well-determined ages, luminosities, and masses provide rare but valuable tests of low-temperature atmospheric and evolutionary models. We present the discovery and dynamical mass measurement of a substellar companion to HD 47127, an old ($\approx$7-10 Gyr) G5 main sequence star with a mass similar to the Sun. Radial velocities of the host star with the Harlan J. Smith Telescope uncovered a low-amplitude acceleration of 1.93 $\pm$ 0.08 m s$^{-1}$ yr$^{-1}$ based on 20 years of monitoring. We subsequently recovered a faint ($ΔH$=13.14 $\pm$ 0.15 mag) co-moving companion at 1.95$''$ (52 AU) with follow-up Keck/NIRC2 adaptive optics imaging. The radial acceleration of HD 47127 together with its tangential acceleration from Hipparcos and Gaia EDR3 astrometry provide a direct measurement of the three-dimensional acceleration vector of the host star, enabling a dynamical mass constraint for HD 47127 B (67.5-177 $M_\mathrm{Jup}$ at 95% confidence) despite the small fractional orbital coverage of the observations. The absolute $H$-band magnitude of HD 47127 B is fainter than the benchmark T dwarfs HD 19467 B and Gl 229 B but brighter than Gl 758 B and HD 4113 C, suggesting a late-T spectral type. Altogether the mass limits for HD 47127 B from its dynamical mass and the substellar boundary imply a range of 67-78 $M_\mathrm{Jup}$ assuming it is single, although a preference for high masses of $\approx$100 $M_\mathrm{Jup}$ from dynamical constraints hints at the possibility that HD 47127 B could itself be a binary pair of brown dwarfs or that another massive companion resides closer in. Regardless, HD 47127 B will be an excellent target for more refined orbital and atmospheric characterization in the future.

Seasonal and Secular Periodicities Identified in the Dynamics of US FDA Medical Devices (1976 2020) Portends Intrinsic Industrial Transformation and Independence of Certain Crises

description: Background: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates medical devices (MD), which are predicated on a concoction of economic and policy forces (e.g., supply/demand, crises, patents). Assuming that the number of FDA MD (Premarketing Notifications (PMN), Approvals (PMAs), and their sum) Applications behaves similarly to those of other econometrics, this work explores the hypothesis of the existence (and, if so, the length scale(s)) of economic cycles (periodicities). Methods: Beyond summary statistics, the monthly (May, 1976 to December, 2020) number of observed FDA MD Applications are investigated via an assortment of time series techniques (including: Discrete Wavelet Transform, Running Moving Average Filter (RMAF), Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode with Adaptive Noise decomposition (CEEMDAN), and Seasonal Trend Loess (STL) decomposition) to exhaustively search and characterize such periodicities. Results: The data were found to be non-normal, non-stationary (fractional order of integration < 1), non-linear, and strongly persistent (Hurst > 0.5). Importantly, periodicities exist and follow seasonal, 1 year short-term, 5-6 year (Juglar), and a single 24-year medium-term (Kuznets) period (when considering the total number of MD Applications). Economic crises (e.g., COVID-19) do not seem to affect the evolution of the periodicities. Conclusions: This work concludes that (1) PMA and PMN data may be viewed as a proxy measure of the MD industry; (2) periodicities exists in the data with time lengths associated with seasonal/1-year, Juglar and Kuznets affects; (4) these metrics do not seem affected by specific crises (such as COVID-19) (similarly with other econometrics used in periodicity assessments); (5) PMNs and PMAs evolve inversely and suggest a structural industrial transformation; (6) Total MDs are predicted to continue their decline into the mid-2020s prior to recovery.

description: The classical concept of $Q$-functions associated to symmetric and selfadjoint operators due to M.G. Krein and H. Langer is extended in such a way that the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map in the theory of elliptic differential equations can be interpreted as a generalized $Q$-function. For couplings of uniformly elliptic second order differential expression on bounded and unbounded domains explicit Krein type formulas for the difference of the resolvents and trace formulas in an $H^2$-framework are obtained.

description: Simple closed curves in the plane can be mapped to nontrivial knots under the action of origami foldings that allow the paper to self-intersect. We show all tame knot types may be produced in this manner, motivating the development of a new knot invariant, the fold number, defined as the minimum number of creases required to obtain an equivalent knot. We study this invariant, presenting a bound on the fold number by the diagram stick number as well as a class of torus knots with constant fold number. We also pursue a characterization of those foldings which admit nontrivial knots, giving a proof that no "physically realizable", or proper, foldings can admit nontrivial knots. A number of questions are posed for further study.

description: The nucleosynthesis of elements beyond iron is dominated by the s and r processes. However, a small amount of stable isotopes on the proton-rich side cannot be made by neutron capture and are thought to be produced by photodisintegration reactions on existing seed nuclei in the so-called "p process". So far most of the p-process reactions are not yet accessible by experimental techniques and have to be inferred from statistical Hauser-Feshbach model calculations. The parametrization of these models has to be constrained by measurements on stable proton-rich nuclei. A series of (n,$γ$) activation measurements on p nuclei, related by detailed balance to the respective photodisintegrations, were carried out at the Karlsruhe Van de Graaff accelerator using the $^7$Li(p,n)$^7$Be source for simulating a Maxwellian neutron distribution of kT= 25 keV. We present here preliminary results of our extended measuring program in the mass range between A=74 and A=132, including first experimental (n,$γ$) cross sections of $^{74}$Se, $^{84}$Sr, $^{120}$Te and $^{132}$Ba, and an improved value for $^{130}$Ba. In all cases we find perfect agreement with the recommended MACS predictions from the Bao et al. compilation.

description: Twitter users signal social identity in their profile descriptions, or bios, in a number of important but complex ways that are not well-captured by existing characterizations of how identity is expressed in language. Better ways of defining and measuring these expressions may therefore be useful both in understanding how social identity is expressed in text, and how the self is presented on Twitter. To this end, the present work makes three contributions. First, using qualitative methods, we identify and define the concept of a personal identifier, which is more representative of the ways in which identity is signaled in Twitter bios. Second, we propose a method to extract all personal identifiers expressed in a given bio. Finally, we present a series of validation analyses that explore the strengths and limitations of our proposed method. Our work opens up exciting new opportunities at the intersection between the social psychological study of social identity and the study of how we compose the self through markers of identity on Twitter and in social media more generally.

description: We present an approach which enables to identify phase synchronization in coupled chaotic oscillators without having to explicitly measure the phase. We show that if one defines a typical event in one oscillator and then observes another one whenever this event occurs, these observations give rise to a localized set. Our result provides a general and easy way to identify PS, which can also be used to oscillators that possess multiple time scales. We illustrate our approach in networks of chemically coupled neurons. We show that clusters of phase synchronous neurons may emerge before the onset of phase synchronization in the whole network, producing a suitable environment for information exchanging. Furthermore, we show the relation between the localized sets and the amount of information that coupled chaotic oscillator can exchange.
