The “grey” digital divide in older adults during COVID-19 in Germany: Who is most at risk?
Creators: name: Barnils, Núria Pedrós
name: Schüz, Benjamin
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2022

description: Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, physical distancing was a recommended public health measure. For some older adults, distancing has been physical and social due to a lack of access to the internet - either due to consciously opting out or lack of resources. This study aims to assess who is most at risk of not having access to the internet and the associated negative mental and physical health outcomes.
 Methods: Participants were drawn from the 2020 German Ageing Survey (DEAS) in June and July 2020, and include community-dwelling adults above 45 years old (N = 4,823; 56.5% response rate). Two complementary analytic approaches were used to identify lack of access: logistic regression (LR) and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis, using social indicators as predictors. LR provides information about main effects of the predictors; CART, through an exploratory, non-parametric procedure, illustrates the mathematical relationship of the variables.
 Results: CART analysis revealed that the strongest discriminating factor for internet access was being over or under 75 years old (n = 3,131 Pr = 0.075 vs n = 1,545 Pr = 0.385). Moreover, for older individuals high education was a protective factor (n = 739 Pr = 0.260 vs n = 805 Pr = 0.499), while for younger individuals a monthly income of 2,000€ set the internet access cut-off point (n = 2520 Pr = 0.0504 vs n = 611 Pr = 0.177). Logistic regression revealed that gender (OR = 1.50; pv < 0.001), education (OR = 0.36; pv < 0.001), monthly income (0.93; pv < 0.001) and region in Germany (West-East) (OR = 2.42; pv < 0.001) explain 29.40% of internet access’ variance.
 Conclusion: In times of forced physical distancing, the “grey” digital divide increases the vulnerability of disadvantaged groups. CART analysis helped identify groups at higher risk of not having access to the internet and yields the ground for tailored public health interventions.

description: O presente artigo tem como escopo abordar como que a busca pelo desenvolvimento econômico influenciou na formação dos paradigmas da política externa brasileira. Na primeira seção do trabalho, procurou-se operacionalizar o conceito de política externa e de desenvolvimento econômico. Na segunda seção, a pesquisa almejou expor os paradigmas na política externa brasileira para o desenvolvimento econômico de 1930 a 2016, isto é, o paradigma desenvolvimentista, o paradigma neoliberal e o paradigma logístico. Para tanto, utilizou-se como metodologia a Análise Paradigmática das Relações Internacionais desenvolvida por Amado Cervo e que tem expressiva influência dos estudos econômicos. O resultado encontrado foi que o paradigma logístico procura superar os valores do paradigma neoliberal ao mesmo tempo em que reestrutura o sistema de ideias e percepção de mundo do paradigma desenvolvimentista, podendo, portanto, ser considerado um avanço teórico e cientifico significativo na comunidade e na referência dos estudos desenvolvimentistas.

description: We use the TMD quark densities of the proton to investigate unpolarized Drell-Yan lepton pair production in proton-proton collisions at the LHC energies. We investigate the case where the gluon-to-quark splitting occurs at the last evolution step and calculate the TMD sea quark density as a convolution of the CCFM-evolved gluon distribution and the TMD gluon-to-quark splitting function which contains all single logarithmic small-x corrections to the sea quark evolution for any order of perturbation theory. Based on the O(alpha) production amplitude of quark-antiquark annihilation calculated according to the reggeized quark approach, we analyze the distributions on the dilepton invariant mass, transverse momentum and rapidity as well as the specific angular correlations between the produced leptons as measured by the CMS, ATLAS and LHCb collaborations. We argue that these measurements impose stringent constraints on the TMD quark distributions of the proton.

description: One of the prerequisites for FAIR data publication is the use of FAIR vocabularies. Currently, tools for the collaborative composition of such vocabularies are missing. For this reason, a universal manual and software for user-friendly vocabulary assembly is being composed in the HMC-funded MetaCook project. The project includes 4 separate test cases from 4 labs across KIT and Hereon, which will help strengthen the software's universality and applicability to various domains. The components described in MetaCook will be implemented in the form of multiple software tools. The first one, a Python-based web application called VocPopuli, is the entry point for domain experts. The software, whose first version is being developed at the time of writing, enables the collaborative definition, and editing of metadata terms. Additionally, it annotates each term, as well as the entire vocabulary, with the help of the PROV Data Model (PROV-DM) - a schema used to describe the provenance of a given object. Finally, it assigns a unique ID to each term in the vocabulary, as well as a hash-based ID the vocabulary itself. The second software tool will facilitate the transformation of the vocabularies developed with the help of VocPopuli into ontologies. It will handle two distinct use cases – the from-scratch conversion of vocabularies into ontologies, and the augmentation of existing ontologies with the terms from a given thesaurus. Both software tools will be used by two semi-overlapping user groups: domain experts will input, edit, and discuss vocabulary terms in their area of interest, while vocabulary and ontology administrators will oversee the vocabulary creation, and ontology transformation. Both the controlled vocabularies and the corresponding ontologies offer the possibility to enrich data documented in Electronic Laboratory Notebooks (ELNs). As the simplest solution, terms used within the ELN are linked to the IDs of the related vocabulary and ontology for an unambiguous definition. Additionally, an export of the defined schemes can be used to automatically create a structured form in the ELNs for documenting the described processes. The output from the developed tools will be exemplarily integrated into the ELNs Herbie and Kadi4Mat.

Possible Overionization of C II, N II, and O II Ions in the Atmospheres of Early B- and Late O-Type Stars
Creators: name: Lyubimkov, Leonid S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The reliability of C, N, and O abundances determined from the C II, N II, and O II lines in the main sequence (MS) early B- and late O-type stars is examined. This analysis is based on a fact of primary importance for this problem: the C II, N II, and O II ions in atmospheres of these stars are photoionized by radiation in the far UV. Observations show that the actual flux in this range for hot stars can be considerably higher than theoretical levels; thus, overionization of the C II, N II, and O II ions beyond the ionization calculated with the standard model atmospheres occurs in the actual atmospheres of these stars. Underestimates in the calculated ionization lead to reduced values of the C, N, and O abundances. This is confirmed by the observed dependence on the effective temperature Teff: the C, N and O abundances tend to be lower with increasing Teff. It is shown that overionization becomes significant for sufficiently hot stars, namely when Teff>18500 K for the C II lines and when Teff>26000 K for the N II and O II lines. The systematic difference in the C, N and O abundances between these relatively hot stars and the cooler B-type MS stars is about 0.2 dex. The relatively cool B-type MS stars (Teff<18100 K for C II and Teff<25000 K for N II and O II) yield the undistorted C, N and O abundances, and their average values agree very well with modern estimates for the Sun. It is noted that when an alternative method based on examining the ionization balance (e.g., He I-II, C II-III, Ne I-II, Si III-IV) is used to determine the parameters Teff and log g, the overionization problem essentially vanishes; however, this method leads to a systematic enhancement in Teff and log g. The overionization problem can be solved by shifting to the improved model atmospheres for early B- and late O-type stars that takes their sphericity into account and, possibly, stellar winds and magnetic fields.
The role of hadronic cascades in GRB models of efficient neutrino production
Creators: name: Petropoulou, Maria
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the effects of hadronic cascades on the gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt emission spectra in scenarios of efficient neutrino production. By assuming a fiducial GRB spectrum and a power-law proton distribution extending to ultra-high energies, we calculate the proton cooling rate and the neutrino emission produced through photopion processes. For this, we employ a numerical code that follows the formation of the hadronic cascade by taking into account non-linear feedback effects, such as the evolution of the target photon field itself due to the contribution of secondary particles. We show that in cases of efficient proton cooling and subsequently efficient high-energy neutrino production, the emission from the hadronic cascade distorts and may even dominate the GRB spectrum. Taking this into account, we constrain the allowable values of the ratio $η_p=L_p/L_γ$, where $L_{p}$ and $L_γ$ are the isotropic equivalent proton and prompt gamma-ray luminosities. For the highest value of $η_{p}$ that does not lead to the dominance of the cascading emission, we then calculate the maximum neutrino luminosity from a single burst and show that it ranges between $(0.01- 0.6)L_{p}$ and $(0.5-1.4)L_γ$ for various parameter sets. We discuss possible implications of other parameters, such as the magnetic field strength and the shape of the initial gamma-ray spectrum, on our results. Finally, we compare the upper limit on $η_p$ derived here with various studies in the field, and we point out the necessity of a self-consistent treatment of the hadronic emission in order to avoid erroneously high neutrino fluxes from GRB models.

description: Context: The commonly used extinction laws of Cardelli et al. (1989) have limitations that, among other issues, hamper the determination of the effective temperatures of O and early B stars from optical+NIR photometry. Aims: We aim to develop a new family of extinction laws for 30 Doradus, check their general applicability within that region and elsewhere, and apply them to test the feasibility of using optical+NIR photometry to determine the effective temperature of OB stars. Methods: We use spectroscopy and NIR photometry from the VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey and optical photometry from HST/WFC3 of 30 Doradus and we analyze them with the software code CHORIZOS using different assumptions such as the family of extinction laws. Results: We derive a new family of optical+NIR extinction laws for 30 Doradus and confirm its applicability to extinguished Galactic O-type systems. We conclude that by using the new extinction laws it is possible to measure the effective temperatures of OB stars with moderate uncertainties and only a small bias, at least up to E(4405-5495) ~ 1.5 mag.

Deep learning base active contour algorithms for diabetic retinopathy segmentation
Creators: Thakkar, Raghavkumar
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Active contour is one of successful image segmentation techniques, which has been implemented in a wide range of medical imaging problems. Active contour minimizes an energy functional in an unsupervised manner, which offers the required force to converge the user defined initial contour at the boundary of the target objects. However, active contour based approaches lack a way to work with labelled images in a supervised machine learning framework. Furthermore, they are unsupervised approaches and success of these methods strongly depend on many parameters, which is selected by empirical results and as a result fail in many real world applications. Inspired from breakthrough successes deep for solving a variety of imaging problems, this research investigates the implementation of active contour models into deep learning framework to increase the segmentation accuracy of the active contour models. Proposed deep learning based active contour algorithms have been successfully implemented on detecting diabetic macular edema, which causes blocking of tiny blood vessels located at the back inner wall of the eye or retina because of high blood sugar content in the blood. In future, we would like to deploy the proposed algorithms in other medical imaging problems and explore the efficacy of different deep architectures for increasing the segmentation accuracy of active contour models.
Impacts of climage change on world food supply
Creators: Okosun, Israel O.
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

This project analyses the global consequences to crop yields, production, and risk of hunger of linked socio-economic and climate scenarios. Potential impacts of climate change are estimated for climate change scenarios developed from the HadCM3 and HADCM1global climate model. Projected changes in yield are determined by utilizing CO2 capabilities got from crop model recreations with noticed climate data and projected environmental change scenarios. The Basic Link System (BLS) is utilized to assess ensuing changes in world-wide cereal creation, cereal costs and the quantity of individuals in danger from hunger. When crop yield results are acquainted with the BLS world food trade system model, the joined model and scenarios tests exhibit that the world, generally, seems, by all accounts, to be ready to keep on taking care of itself under the SRES situations during the rest of this century. Nonetheless, this result is accomplished through creation in the developed nations (which generally benefit from climate change) making up for declines anticipated, for the most part, for developing nations. While global production appears stable, regional differences in crop production are likely to grow stronger through time. The two models tested for the selected BLS regions prove to be efficient but not in all scenarios.

description: We have measured the internal proper motions of the 6.7 GHz methanol masers associated with Cepheus A (Cep A) HW2 using Very Long Baseline Interferometery (VLBI) observations. We conducted three epochs of VLBI monitoring observations of the 6.7 GHz methanol masers in Cep A-HW2 with the Japanese VLBI Network (JVN) over the period between 2006-2008. In 2006, we were able to use phase-referencing to measure the absolute coordinates of the maser emission with an accuracy of a few milliarcseconds. We compared the maser distribution with other molecular line observations that trace the rotating disk. We measured the internal proper motions for 29 methanol maser spots, of which 19 were identified at all three epochs and the remaining ten at only two epochs. The magnitude of proper motions ranged from 0.2 to 7.4 km/s, with an average of 3.1 km/s. Although there are large uncertainties in the observed internal proper motions of the methanol maser spots in Cep A, they are well fitted by a disk that includes both rotation and infall velocity components. The derived rotation and infall velocities at the disk radius of 680 au are 0.5 +- 0.7 and 1.8 +- 0.7 km/s, respectively. Assuming that the modeled disk motion accurately represents the accretion disk around the Cep A-HW2 high-mass YSO, we estimated the mass infall rate to be 3 x 10^{-4} n_8 Msun/yr (n_8 is the gas volume density in units of 10^{8} cm^{-3}). The combination of the estimated mass infall rate and the magnitude of the fitted infall velocity suggests that Cep A-HW2 is at an evolutionary phase of active gas accretion from the disk onto the central high-mass YSO. The infall momentum rate is estimated to be 5 x 10^{-4} n_8 Msun/yr km/s, which is larger than the estimated stellar radiation pressure of the HW2 object, supporting the hypothesis that this object is in an active gas accretion phase.

description: Chapter 6, book Security and Law In a global digital economy, data pass through servers, located in different countries with diverse rules on data protection security. Different standards and requirements lead to the problem of the global system only being as strong (or weak) as cybersecurity requirements in the “least trusted country”. Encryption is often put forward by the crypto experts as an effective security measure. At its core, encryption transforms text-information into a seemingly random string of words and letters that can only be deciphered by using another bit of information, called the decryption key. The rules on use of encryption vary and some countries have adopted regimes that may compromise information and conversations despite use of appropriate encryption techniques. Encryption is also an important measure contributing to human rights, especially freedom of expression and the right to privacy. It keeps communications inaccessible and safe from prying eyes, enabling the sharing of opinion, accessing online information and organising with others to counter injustices. In data protection, encryption is a privacy-preserving technique, that also contributes to the security of processing personal data. This chapter will focus on the analysis of encryption in the international human rights legal framework. More specifically, general human rights framework on the right to privacy, especially confidentiality of communications, and/or data protection, legal instruments specific to data protection, and soft law, i.e. experts’ and policy-makers’ non-binding opinions and recommendations, will be analysed.
Classification and detection of cell based morphology
Creators: Patel, Raj
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Every living species has cells and based on those cells scientists observe and make some predictions or observations. The identification and classification of cells is a highly crucial part of medical research and involves human efforts to a huge extent. Due to human involvement, the research may go wrong and may predict inaccurate results. This time-consuming process can be eliminated if machine learning algorithms is applied. This research aims to train an ML algorithm to detect and classify cells based on a number of branches. This research will take images of a group of cells as input to the algorithm for training purposes. The training of the model will be accomplished based on the labeled images of cells. The trained model will identify and classify the cells images in three different classes Class A, Class B, and Class C. Class A cells will not have any branches, Class B will have fewer branches and Class C will include cells with many branches. To eliminate the inaccurate results. The training will be done by using Machine Learning algorithm which is used for classification problems. The training part will involve extracting features of cell from the image of the dataset. As a result of this research, medical practitioners will get the classified images of cells and they will be able to analyze the result in an organized manner. The trained model will be helpful to provide better and more accurate results. This will fasten the process of analyzing medical reports. This model can be enhanced to classify the cells and also analyze the classification report to provide better predictions regarding the cells.

Analyzing network security efficiency in the finanical industry
Creators: Adewale, Adesina
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

The financial sector plays an important role in the functioning of the economy. It represents a vast assortment of firms, agencies and institutions with operations ranging from small community banks to massive, international corporations. The ability of this industry to perform at their best heavily depends on their Network infrastructure efficiency and security. Companies usually struggle trying to figure out which Network infrastructure will suite them best at the start, and due to the fact that more people join the network on a regular basis, their Network efficiency has to be optimal and secure. The goal of this project is to analyze common Network architectures used in the financial sector and determine which of them is the best to implement. Each architecture will be simulated using NS-3 (Network simulator 3). Data gotten from these simulations will then be analyzed using Wireshark. and from there the Network efficiency can be determined

Mapping systemic risk: critical degree and failures distribution in financial networks

description: The 2008 financial crisis illustrated the need for a thorough, functional understanding of systemic risk in strongly interconnected financial structures. Dynamic processes on complex networks being intrinsically difficult, most recent studies of this problem have relied on numerical simulations. Here we report analytical results in a network model of interbank lending based on directly relevant financial parameters, such as interest rates and leverage ratios. Using a mean-field approach, we obtain a closed-form formula for the "critical degree", viz. the number of creditors per bank below which an individual shock can propagate throughout the network. We relate the failures distribution (probability that a single shock induces $F$ failures) to the degree distribution (probability that a bank has $k$ creditors), showing in particular that the former is fat-tailed whenever the latter is. Our criterion for the onset of contagion turns out to be isomorphic to the condition for cooperation to evolve on graphs and social networks, as recently formulated in evolutionary game theory. This remarkable connection supports recent calls for a methodological rapprochement between finance and ecology.

description: We report the parametric amplification of a microwave signal in a Kerr medium formed from superconducting qubits. Two mutually coupled flux qubits, embedded in the current antinode of a superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator, are used as a nonlinear element. Shared Josephson junctions provide the qubit-resonator coupling, resulting in a device with a measured gain of about 20 dB. We argue, that this arrangement represents a unit cell which can be straightforwardly extended to a quasi one-dimensional quantum metamaterial with a large tunable Kerr nonlinearity.

description: Charge-density-wave (CDW) correlations within the quintessential CuO$_2$ planes have been argued to either cause [1] or compete with [2] the superconductivity in the cuprates, and they might furthermore drive the Fermi-surface reconstruction in high magnetic fields implied by quantum oscillation (QO) experiments for YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{6+δ}$ (YBCO) [3] and HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+δ}$ (Hg1201) [4]. Consequently, the observation of bulk CDW order in YBCO was a significant development [5,6,7]. Hg1201 features particularly high structural symmetry and recently has been demonstrated to exhibit Fermi-liquid charge transport in the relevant temperature-doping range of the phase diagram, whereas for YBCO and other cuprates this underlying property of the CuO$_2$ planes is partially or fully masked [8-10]. It therefore is imperative to establish if the pristine transport behavior of Hg1201 is compatible with CDW order. Here we investigate Hg1201 ($T_c$ = 72 K) via bulk Cu L-edge resonant X-ray scattering. We indeed observe CDW correlations in the absence of a magnetic field, although the correlations and competition with superconductivity are weaker than in YBCO. Interestingly, at the measured hole-doping level, both the short-range CDW and Fermi-liquid transport appear below the same temperature of about 200 K. Our result points to a unifying picture in which the CDW formation is preceded at the higher pseudogap temperature by $q$ = 0 magnetic order [11,12] and the build-up of significant dynamic antiferromagnetic correlations [13]. Furthermore, the smaller CDW modulation wave vector observed for Hg1201 is consistent with the larger electron pocket implied by both QO [4] and Hall-effect [14] measurements, which suggests that CDW correlations are indeed responsible for the low-temperature QO phenomenon.
Transformer-based Fine-Grained Fungi Classification in an Open-Set Scenario

description: Fine-grained fungi classification describes the task of estimating the species of a fungus. The FungiCLEF 2022 challenge started a competition for the best solution to solve this task in an open-set scenario. For our solution, we employ a modern transformer-based classification architecture, use a class-balanced training scheme to handle the class-imbalance and apply heavy data augmentation. We approach the open-set scenario by using the final confidence scores as an indicator for unknown species. With this classification model, we were able to achieve an F1 score of 80.6 and 77.5 on the challenge’s public and private test set, respectively. This resulted in achieving the 7th place in the FungiCLEF 2022 challenge. We provide code at https://github.com/wolfstefan/fungi-classification.
