description: Women have been underrepresented in STEM professions for years, and female students still rarely choose apprenticeships in the STEM sector. The proportion of women in STEM professions across Switzerland is much lower than expected based on the STEM skills and interests of female students in elementary school (Jann & Hupka-Brunner, 2020; Bamert, 2022). This harms the well-being and development of female students at school and in later life and should also be viewed critically from a societal perspective. For example, the proportion of women in computer science, engineering, and technology vocational training among 20-year-old learners was less than 10% in 2020 (BFS, 2022). This project aims to implement and evaluate a free, evidence-based digital tool for young Swiss people that is intended to strengthen the participation and career choices of female students in the STEM field in the long term and sustainably (Brainology intervention).
On the one hand, our digital tool is intended to change the mindsets of female students towards a growth mindset so that they believe that they can develop their skills in the STEM field (e.g. Bostwick & Becker-Blease, 2018; Yeager & Dweck, 2020; Paunesku et al., 2015). On the other hand, the digital tool is intended to create the basis for evolving future perspectives through an adaptive view of challenges in STEM professions and critically reflecting on gender stereotypes (Janssen & van Atteveldt, 2022; Lateef & Peterman, 2021). This supports an adaptive approach to challenges, promotes interest and expectations towards the STEM field, and increases career prospects in the STEM field among female secondary school students. The project's impact will be evaluated at five measurement points, and the effective career or profile choice will be investigated.

description: Neonatal brain MRI segmentation is a challenging problem due to its poor image quality. Atlas-based segmentation approaches have been widely used for guiding brain tissue segmentation. Existing brain atlases are usually constructed by equally averaging pre-segmented images in a population. However, such approaches diminish local inter-subject structural variability and thus lead to lower segmentation guidance capability. To deal with this problem, we propose a multi-region-multi-reference framework for atlas-based neonatal brain segmentation. For each region of a brain parcellation, a population of spatially normalized pre-segmented images is clustered into a number of sub-populations. Each sub-population of a region represents an independent distribution from which a regional probability atlas can be generated. A selection of these regional atlases, across different sub-regions, will in the end be adaptively combined to form an overall atlas specific to the query image. Given a query image, the determination of the appropriate set of regional atlases is achieved by comparing the query image regionally with the reference, or exemplar, of each sub-population. Upon obtaining an overall atlas, an atlas-based joint registration-segmentation strategy is employed to segment the query image. Since the proposed method generates an atlas which is significant more similar to the query image than the traditional average-shape atlas, better tissue segmentation results can be expected. This is validated by applying the proposed method on a large set of neonatal brain images available in our institute. Experimental results on a randomly selected set of 10 neonatal brain images indicate that the proposed method achieves higher tissue overlap rates and lower standard deviations (SDs) in comparison with manual segmentations, i.e., 0.86 (SD 0.02) for GM, 0.83 (SD 0.03) for WM, and 0.80 (SD 0.05) for CSF. The proposed method also outperforms two other average-shape atlas based segmentation methods.

description: Sepsis is a potentially fatal dysregulation of the host immune response to infection, involving stages of hyperinflammation that mediate organ damage and dysfunction. Early onset sepsis (EOS) is defined as onset within the first 72 hours after birth. It is caused by ingestion or inhalation of infected fluids either in utero or intrapartum. The only treatments currently available are antibiotics. However, with the rise in antibiotic resistance and long-term morbidities associated with antibiotic-induced dysbiosis, an alternative therapy is required. Our laboratory proposes colony stimulating factor-1 fusion protein (CSF1-Fc) as a potential host-based therapeutic, to clear the underlying infection and limit inflammation in EOS, as it has been shown to increase the maturity of macrophages. The aim of this project was to develop a novel neonatal infection model, to be utilised in future for the testing of potential therapeutics. This involved pipette-feeding bacteria to postnatal day 0 (P0) pups. Variations of this model involved administration of a mixed bacterial culture extracted from faeces that represents the maternal microbiome, or of a pure strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae to act as a clinically relevant model. Tested bacterial doses ranged from 104 – 108 colony forming units (CFU) over a 24, 48, 72 hour or 15 day infection duration. Bacterial colonisation was evaluated by plating the blood, spleen, small intestine and perianal swabs onto agar plates and counting colony forming units. Immune cell numbers were determined through haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and anti-ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule-1 (IBA1) immunohistochemistry of liver tissue sections. Contrary to our prediction, the faecal slurry and the selected strains of K. pneumoniae were unable to establish an infection and recover bacteria in a dose-dependent manner. Instead, increased virulence of the infecting agent, higher doses and a different infection timeline could be employed to improve success. Therefore, this thesis forms the basis for future investigations and informs on methodologies that require further optimisations, in order to achieve a dose-response neonatal infection model.

Translation, Symbolic Capital, and Contested Universality: Gao Xingjian in Translation
Creators: Wang, Mingxing
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

This dissertation investigates the literary ascendancy in the West of China’s first Nobel laureate, Gao Xingjian, through translation. Although Gao’s master novel Lingshan was significant for his international reputation, the importance of its translations for his literary prestige in the West has not been extensively discussed. With reference to Pierre Bourdieu’s sociological theory relevant to translation, this project first examines Gao’s visibility as a translator of literary modernism during China’s reform and opening-up to the world, especially to the West, in the early 1980s. This is followed by an elaborate analysis of the translation of Gao’s novel Lingshan, first in France as La Montagne de l’âme (1995) and then in the Anglophone world as Soul Mountain (2000, 2001), mainly in Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Rather than reading Lingshan as a “universal” cultural signifier from the West, this project problematizes the nature of this universality by examining the internal logic and mechanism of the canonization of the novel through translation and interpretation (reading) in the social and cultural space of the West. Thus, this dissertation first analyses the agents of translation, such as publishers, cultural markets, and translation regimes, in relation to the target literary requirements, and then explores the illusio of Lingshan, the essential aesthetic components for validation in the target literary field(s). Through a Bourdieusian sociological investigation supported by textual and paratextual particularities, this study argues that the translation of Lingshan and the ascendancy of Gao on the international literary scene are underscored by the fight for symbolic capital, which seeks universal (hegemonic) cultural legitimacy in the international literary field represented by the center(s) of Paris, London, and New York. While examining the competition and fight for dominance as motivations for translation, this study also demonstrates the limits of literary universality in peripheral countries that are characterized by their own cultural identities and trajectories. This dissertation, therefore, takes a different approach toward universality than that of the West. This project has significant implications for literature/translation studies. First, it offers a new perspective from which to read Gao’s work in relation to translation and from which his visibility and ascendancy can be mapped out and conceptualized. Second, it shows that symbolic capital accumulation and literary dominance are the key motives for translating a literary work, thus unfolding the tensions and dynamics of translation in the social and cultural space(s) at both local and global levels, where the claims and the counterclaims of universal literary capital coexist together. This observation also sheds light on China’s current fight for universal symbolic capital on the international scene.
Theoretical model for negative giant magnetoresistance in ultra-high-mobility 2D electron systems

description: We report on theoretical studies of the recently discovered negative giant magnetoresistance in ultraclean two-dimensional electron systems at low temperatures. We adapt a transport model to a ultraclean scenario and calculate the elastic scattering rate (electron-charged impurity) in a regime where the Landau level width is much smaller than the cyclotron energy. We obtain that for low magnetic fields the scattering rate and, as a consequence, the longitudinal magnetoresistance dramatically drop because of the small density of states between Landau levels. We also study the dependence of this striking effect on temperature and an in-plane magnetic field.

description: The ability to make decisions within an emotional context requires a balance between two functionally integrated neural systems that primarily support executive control and affective processing. Several studies have demonstrated effects of emotional interference presented during an ongoing cognitive task, but it is unclear how activating the emotional circuitry prior to a cognitive task may enhance or disrupt the executive system. In this study we used fMRI to examine the effects of emotional priming on executive processing during a number Stroop task. Our results indicated that during trials with less executive requirements, there was a greater aversive emotional attenuation effect in a network of regions including the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC), insula and cingulate gyrus. This attenuation effect was counteracted during trials with increased executive demand, suggesting that while pre-activation of the emotional system may lead to an automatic attenuation of activity in multiple regions, requirements for executive function may override the aversive emotional attenuation effect. Furthermore, this override effect was found to be associated with faster reaction times during executive processing. These findings demonstrate that activity in the vlPFC, cingulate and insula is dynamically adjusted in order to optimize performance, and illustrate the importance of the timing of each system’s engagement in determining how competing cognitive and emotional information is processed.

description: In study of early brain development, tissue segmentation of neonatal brain MR images remains challenging because of the insufficient image quality due to the properties of developing tissues.. Among various brain tissue segmentation algorithms, atlas-based brain image segmentation can potentially achieve good segmentation results on neonatal brain images. However, their performances rely on both the quality of the atlas and the spatial correspondence between the atlas and the to-be-segmented image. Moreover, it is difficult to build a population atlas for neonates due to the requirement of a large set of tissue-segmented neonatal brain images. To combat these obstacles, we present a longitudinal neonatal brain image segmentation framework by taking advantage of the longitudinal data acquired at late time-point to build a subject-specific tissue probabilistic atlas. Specifically, tissue segmentation of the neonatal brain is formulated as two iterative steps of bias correction and probabilistic-atlas-based tissue segmentation, along with the longitudinal atlas reconstructed by the late time image of the same subject. The proposed method has been evaluated qualitatively through visual inspection and quantitatively by comparing with manual delineations and two population-atlas-based segmentation methods. Experimental results show that the utilization of a subject-specific probabilistic atlas can substantially improve tissue segmentation of neonatal brain images.
Hydraulic fracture monitoring: Integrated analysis of DAS, pumping information, microseismicity and PKN modelling
Creators: Ortega Perez, Ana Karen
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Well-monitoring before, during, and after hydraulic fracturing treatment is essential to accomplish a successful fracture completion program. By knowing the geometry, orientation, and propagation of the hydraulic fractures, we can identify potential completion issues during fracturing operations and help in the design of more efficient unconventional reservoir completions. Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is an emerging technology in hydraulic fracture monitoring that enables continuous, real-time measurements along the entire length of a fiber optic cable. The low-frequency band of DAS records strain perturbations of the medium, due to fracture propagation, which provides critical constraints on hydraulic fracture geometry.

In this study, the low-frequency DAS strain fronts was analyzed, with their corresponding pumping curves, for one hydraulic fracturing treatment to obtain information on the hydraulic fractures like fracture azimuth, propagation speed, number of fractures created during each stage and re-stimulation of pre-existent fractures. Then, the microseismicity of the treatment was analyzed to obtain information on hydraulic fractures like length, height, trajectory and cloud growth over time. The microseismicity was also projected onto the strain fronts to study the development of the events with respect to the fracture signal and to find correlations between the strain changes and the microseismic events. Finally, the PKN model was computed using parameters from the stimulation treatment and the DAS strain fronts to forecast anticipated fracture lengths against observations. The PKN modeling results were compared to the microseismic and DAS results to find stages where the hydraulic fractures did not grow or propagate as expected.

The low-frequency DAS is able to obtain information on hydraulic fractures that would need extra processing or might not be picked up using other records as microseismicity. However, the spatial constraint of the measurements in DAS needs to be taken into consideration. This spatial constraint can be addressed by the integration of other records. In general, there is good agreement between the LF DAS data, the pumping information, the microseismic data and the PKN model. But when they do not agree on a stage, that gives us an indication that something unexpected happened during injection. Models describing the expected behavior of the different records analyzed in this research were created to explain some possible scenarios of fracture propagation. Most stages in this treatment fall within one of these models.

description: Physical conditions of the interstellar medium in galaxies are closely linked to the ambient radiation field and the heating of dust grains. In order to characterize dust properties in galaxies over a wide range of physical conditions, we present here the radial surface brightness profiles of the entire sample of 61 galaxies from Key Insights into Nearby Galaxies: Far-Infrared Survey with Herschel (KINGFISH). The main goal of our work is the characterization of the grain emissivities, dust temperatures, and interstellar radiation fields responsible for heating the dust. After fitting the dust and stellar radial profiles with exponential functions, we fit the far-infrared spectral energy distribution (SED) in each annular region with single-temperature modified black bodies using both variable (MBBV) and fixed (MBBF) emissivity indices beta, as well as with physically motivated dust models. Results show that while most SED parameters decrease with radius, the emissivity index beta also decreases with radius in some galaxies, but in others is increasing, or rising in the inner regions and falling in the outer ones. Despite the fixed grain emissivity (average beta~ 2.1) of the physically-motivated models, they are well able to accommodate flat spectral slopes with beta<= 1. We find that flatter slopes (beta<= 1.5) are associated with cooler temperatures, contrary to what would be expected from the usual Tdust-beta degeneracy. This trend is related to variations in Umin since beta and Umin are very closely linked over the entire range in Umin sampled by the KINGFISH galaxies: low Umin is associated with flat beta<=1. Both these results strongly suggest that the low apparent βvalues (flat slopes) in MBBV fits are caused by temperature mixing along the line-of-sight, rather than by intrinsic variations in grain properties.

description: We present an improved MR brain image registration algorithm, called TPS-HAMMER, which is based on the concepts of attribute vectors and hierarchical landmark selection scheme proposed in the highly successful HAMMER registration algorithm. We demonstrate that TPS-HAMMER algorithm yields better registration accuracy, robustness, and speed over HAMMER owing to: 1) the employment of soft correspondence matching, and 2) the utilization of thin-plate splines (TPS) for sparse-to-dense deformation field generation. These two aspects can be integrated into a unified framework, to refine the registration iteratively by alternating between soft correspondence matching and dense deformation field estimation. Compared with HAMMER, TPS-HAMMER affords several advantages: 1) Unlike the Gaussian propagation mechanism employed in HAMMER, which can be slow and often leaves unreached blotches in the deformation field, the deformation interpolation in the non-landmark points can be obtained immediately with TPS in our algorithm; 2) The smoothness of deformation field is preserved due to the nice properties of TPS; 3) Possible misalignments can be alleviated by allowing the matching of the landmarks with a number of possible candidate points and enforcing more exact matches in the final stages of the registration. Extensive experiments have been conducted, using the original HAMMER as a comparison baseline, to validate the merits of TPS-HAMMER. The results show that TPS-HAMMER yields significant improvement in both accuracy and speed, indicating high applicability for the clinical scenario.

description: One of the biggest challenges in the clinical care of prostate cancer (PCa) is the development of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Lineage plasticity has been identified as a crucial mechanism to promote CRPC. Here we identify macrophages secreted factors drives castration-resistance and promotes lineage plasticity. These factors increased the resistance of PC cells towards enzalutamide and promoted the transition of PC cells from luminal state to basal, neuroendocrine, and stem-like state. These provided a new mechanism of tumour microenvironment induced anti-androgen resistance of prostate cancer and promising candidate therapeutic target for CRPC.

description: In this paper, we explore the localization features of wave functions in a family of mosaic quasiperiodic chains obtained by continuously interpolating between two limits: the mosaic Aubry-André (AA) model, known for its exact mobility edges with extended states in the band-center region, and localized ones in the band-edge regions for a large enough modulation amplitude, and the mosaic Fibonacci chain, which exhibits its multifractal nature for all the states except for the extended one with $E=0$ for an arbitrary finite modulation amplitude. We discover that the mosaic AA limit for the states in the band-edge regions evolves into multifractal ones through a cascade of delocalization transitions. This cascade shows lobes of lower fractal dimension values separated by maxima of fractal dimension. In contrast, the states in the band-center region (except for the $E=0$ state) display an anomalous cascading process, where it emerges lobes of higher fractal dimension values are separated by the regions with lower fractal dimensions. Our findings offer insight into understanding the multifractality of quasiperiodic chains.

description: Accurate segmentation of neonatal brain MR images remains challenging mainly due to their poor spatial resolution, inverted contrast between white matter and gray matter, and high intensity inhomogeneity. Most existing methods for neonatal brain segmentation are atlas-based and voxel-wise. Although active contour/surface models with geometric information constraint have been successfully applied to adult brain segmentation, they are not fully explored in the neonatal image segmentation. In this paper, we propose a novel neonatal image segmentation method by combining local intensity information, atlas spatial prior, and cortical thickness constraint in a single level-set framework. Besides, we also provide a robust and reliable tissue surface initialization for the proposed method by using a convex optimization technique. Thus, tissue segmentation, as well as inner and outer cortical surface reconstruction, can be obtained simultaneously. The proposed method has been tested on a large neonatal dataset, and the validation on 10 neonatal brain images (with manual segmentations) shows very promising results.

description: Recent neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that human brain networks have economic small-world topology and modular organization, enabling efficient information transfer among brain regions. However, it remains largely unknown how the small-world topology and modular organization of human brain networks emerge and develop. Using longitudinal MRI data of 28 healthy pediatric subjects, collected at their ages of 1 month, 1 year, and 2 years, we analyzed development patterns of brain anatomical networks derived from morphological correlations of brain regional volumes. The results show that the brain network of 1-month-olds has the characteristically economic small-world topology and nonrandom modular organization. The network’s cost efficiency increases with the brain development to 1 year and 2 years, so does the modularity, providing supportive evidence for the hypothesis that the small-world topology and the modular organization of brain networks are established during early brain development to support rapid synchronization and information transfer with minimal rewiring cost, as well as to balance between local processing and global integration of information.

description: Automated accurate and consistent sulcal parcellation of longitudinal cortical surfaces is of great importance in studying longitudinal morphological and functional changes of human brains, since longitudinal cortical changes are normally very subtle, especially in aging brains. However, applying the existing methods (which were typically developed for cortical sulcal parcellation of a single cortical surface) independently to longitudinal cortical surfaces might generate longitudinally-inconsistent results. To overcome this limitation, this paper presents a novel energy function based method for accurate and consistent sulcal parcellation of longitudinal cortical surfaces. Specifically, both spatial and temporal smoothness are imposed in the energy function to obtain consistent longitudinal sulcal parcellation results. The energy function is efficiently minimized by a graph cuts method. The proposed method has been successfully applied to sulcal parcellation of both real and simulated longitudinal inner cortical surfaces of human brain MR images. Both qualitative and quantitative evaluation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

An equity investigation of attitudinal shifts in introductory physics

description: We report on seven years of attitudinal data using the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey from University Modeling Instruction (UMI) sections of introductory physics at Florida International University. This work expands upon previous studies that reported consistently positive attitude shifts in UMI courses; here, we disaggregate the data by gender and ethnicity to look for any disparities in the pattern of favorable shifts. We find that women and students from statistically underrepresented ethnic groups are equally supported on this attitudinal measure, and that this result holds even when interaction effects of gender and ethnicity are included. We conclude with suggestions for future work in UMI courses and for attitudinal equity investigations generally.

description: Robust foreground object segmentation via background modelling is a difficult problem in cluttered environments, where obtaining a clear view of the background to model is almost impossible. In this paper, we propose a method capable of robustly estimating the background and detecting regions of interest in such environments. In particular, we propose to extend the background initialisation component of a recent patch-based foreground detection algorithm with an elaborate technique based on Markov Random Fields, where the optimal labelling solution is computed using iterated conditional modes. Rather than relying purely on local temporal statistics, the proposed technique takes into account the spatial continuity of the entire background. Experiments with several tracking algorithms on the CAVIAR dataset indicate that the proposed method leads to considerable improvements in object tracking accuracy, when compared to methods based on Gaussian mixture models and feature histograms.

description: Il saggio realizza un’analisi intorno al desiderio continuo di Guido Gozzano di starsene «solo con sé solo» vivendo quel «benessere sonnolento» che lo allontana dalla «vita turbinosa». Questo esilio volontario, recuperabile attraverso il connubio inevitabile vita-letteratura che si realizza nel poeta avvolto dalla malinconica consapevolezza di una fine precoce, si declina dapprima nei Colloqui come senso di esclusione da un’esistenza che «si ritolse tutte le sue promesse» per poi essere portato a compimento nel «viaggio per fuggire altro viaggio» raccontato nelle pagine di Verso la cuna del mondo, espressione di un desiderio di evasione che dimostra un radicato senso di disagio e di rifiuto della realtà.
description: A The essay carries out an analysis around Guido Gozzano’s continuous desire to be «solo con sé solo» living that «benessere sonnolento» that distances him from the «vita turbinosa». This voluntary exile, recoverable through the inevitable union between life and literature which takes place in the poet surrounded by the melancholy awareness of an early end, is expressed first in the Colloqui as a sense of exclusion from an existence which «si ritolse tutte le sue promesse» and then be completed in the «viaggio per fuggire altro viaggio» told in the pages of Verso la cuna del mondo, an expression of a desire to escape that demonstrates a deep-rooted sense of unease and rejection of reality.
