description: Communities of Practice have existed for as long as people have been learning and sharing their experiences. However, it was not until the early 1990’s before the study of these communities gained attention from the research community. Since then, these communities have been studied in many research domains, yet, the core structural elements, which are critical to these communities remain constant - Domain, Community and Practice. In this paper we re-examine the structural elements of Communities of Practice and argue for the extension of these to include aspects on Participation, Learning and Knowledge. We also take a first step in validating these new structural elements by presenting a study that explores how they appear in a known Communities of Practice (the CoderDojo movement). Our research informs the future study of COP from both a theoretical and organizational perspective.

description: In the context of addressing global warming issues, one of the possible approaches is to provide individuals with tools that support change toward greener practices, as for example around commuting. This paper illustrates a study that we conducted on the effectiveness of self-tracking of commuting data where participants received daily feedback on the financial costs and CO2 emissions associated to their mobility practices. In the results, we describe situations where users do not accept the data and the models utilized to represent them, highlighting a limitation that diary instruments (and underlying models) of this type would have in supporting people to question and possiblychangetheirmobilitychoices. Onthebasisofthestudyfindings,wealsodescribe a new model aimed at overcoming some of the limitations that the study showed, in particular by better connecting the individual environmental impact with the collective one.

description: Frequentists’ inference often delivers point estimators associated with confidence intervals or sets for parameters of interest. Constructing the confidence intervals or sets requires understanding the sampling distributions of the point estimators, which, in many but not all cases, are related to asymptotic Normal distributions ensured by central limit theorems. Although previous literature has established various forms of central limit theorems for statistical inference in super population models, we still need general and convenient forms of central limit theorems for some randomization-based causal analyses of experimental data, where the parameters of interests are functions of a finite population and randomness comes solely from the treatment assignment. We use central limit theorems for sample surveys and rank statistics to establish general forms of the finite population central limit theorems that are particularly useful for proving asymptotic distributions of randomization tests under the sharp null hypothesis of zero individual causal effects, and for obtaining the asymptotic repeated sampling distributions of the causal effect estimators. The new central limit theorems hold for general experimental designs with multiple treatment levels, multiple treatment factors and vector outcomes, and are immediately applicable for studying the asymptotic properties of many methods in causal inference, including instrumental variable, regression adjustment, rerandomization, cluster-randomized experiments, and so on. Previously, the asymptotic properties of these problems are often based on heuristic arguments, which in fact rely on general forms of finite population central limit theorems that have not been established before. Our new theorems fill this gap by providing more solid theoretical foundation for asymptotic randomization-based causal inference. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

General description of electromagnetic radiation processes based on instantaneous charge acceleration in `endpoints'

description: We present a new methodology for calculating the electromagnetic radiation from accelerated charged particles. Our formulation --- the `endpoint formulation' --- combines numerous results developed in the literature in relation to radiation arising from particle acceleration using a complete, and completely general, treatment. We do this by describing particle motion via a series of discrete, instantaneous acceleration events, or `endpoints', with each such event being treated as a source of emission. This method implicitly allows for particle creation/destruction, and is suited to direct numerical implementation in either the time- or frequency-domains. In this paper, we demonstrate the complete generality of our method for calculating the radiated field from charged particle acceleration, and show how it reduces to the classical named radiation processes such as synchrotron, Tamm's description of Vavilov-Cherenkov, and transition radiation under appropriate limits. Using this formulation, we are immediately able to answer outstanding questions regarding the phenomenology of radio emission from ultra-high-energy particle interactions in both the Earth's atmosphere and the Moon. In particular, our formulation makes it apparent that the dominant emission component of the Askaryan Effect (coherent radio-wave radiation from high-energy particle cascades in dense media) comes from coherent `bremsstrahlung' from particle acceleration, rather than coherent Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation.

description: The Jordan-Wigner transformation is applied to study magnetic properties of the quantum spin-1/2 $XX$ model on the diamond chain. Generally, the Hamiltonian of this quantum spin system can be represented in terms of spinless fermions in the presence of a gauge field and different gauge-invariant ways of assigning the spin-fermion transformation are considered. Additionally, we analyze general properties of a free-fermion chain, where all gauge terms are neglected and discuss their relevance for the quantum spin system. A consideration of interaction terms in the fermionic Hamiltonian rests upon the Hartree-Fock procedure after fixing the appropriate gauge. Finally, we discuss the magnetic properties of this quantum spin model at zero as well as non-zero temperatures and analyze the validity of the approximation used through a comparison with the results of the exact diagonalization method for finite (up to 36 spins) chains. Besides the $m=1/3$ plateau the most prominent feature of the magnetization curve is a jump at intermediate field present for certain values of the frustrating vertical bond.

description: Precisely knowing an interaction Hamiltonian is crucial to realize quantum information tasks, especially to experimentally demonstrate a quantum computer and a quantum memory. We propose a scheme to experimentally evaluate the spin-spin interaction for a two-qubit system by the weak measurement technique initiated by Yakir Aharonov and his colleagues. Furthermore, we numerically confirm our proposed scheme in a specific system of a nitrogen vacancy center in diamond. This means that the weak measurement can also be taken as a concrete example of the quantum process tomography.

description: Within the context of the research project ORBIT (Overcoming Breakdowns in Teams with Interactive Tabletops), we design and study a joint problem-solving activity at an interactive tabletop, that gives participants the opportunity to develop their collaboration methods. To gain design insights for the development of a scenario soliciting participants to collaborate, we set up a multidisciplinary design workshop. During the latter, we explored and discussed three different collaborative scenarios, implemented as paper prototypes. In this paper, we report on first results gained from an exploratory analysis of the video data that was recorded in the context of this workshop.

We find strong evidence of power-law stress-stiffening in the E. coli cell wall, with an exponent of 1.22 \pm 0.12, such that the wall is significantly stiffer in intact cells (E = 23 \pm 8 MPa and 49 \pm 20 MPa in the axial and circumferential directions) than in unpressurized sacculi. These measurements also indicate that the turgor pressure in living cells E. coli is 29 \pm 3 kPa.

The development of dose-adjusted pharmacogenetic prediction models in pediatric oncology
Creators: name: Siemens, Angela
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Anthracyclines and cisplatin are two widely-used chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of pediatric cancers. However, their use is limited by severe life-threatening and life-altering adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Anthracyclines cause cardiotoxicity in up to 57% of treated patients, and cisplatin causes permanent hearing loss in 60-70% of patients. Thus, efforts must be made to predict those most susceptible to these ADRs in order to mitigate the risk of toxicity before it occurs. Significant interindividual variability in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity and cisplatin-induced ototoxicity has prompted the discovery and replication of several pharmacogenetic variants involved in the development of these ADRs. Clinical practice guidelines have been published outlining the roles of SLC28A3, UGT1A6, and RARG in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, and TPMT in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. While both anthracycline- and cisplatin-induced toxicities are dose-dependent reactions, no studies have explored the dose-gene relationship in the development of these ADRs. This study seeks to understand how anthracycline/cisplatin dose and pharmacogenetics together contribute to the development of anthracycline- and cisplatin-induced toxicities. In so doing, this work aims to construct dose-adjusted pharmacogenetic prediction models for these ADRs. 595 anthracycline-treated children were stratified into low-dose (≤150mg/m²) and high-dose (>250mg/m²) groups based on cumulative anthracycline dose received, and pharmacogenetic effects in the development of cardiotoxicity were compared. Results revealed that UGT1A6 and RARG risk variants significantly increased cardiotoxicity risk at low-doses (OR 7.18; p=0.0045 and OR 2.76, p=0.057, respectively), while the SLC28A3 protective variant significantly reduced risk at high-doses (OR 0.43, p=0.0093). A separate cohort of 371 cisplatin-treated children were stratified according to cisplatin dose intensity and incidence of ototoxicity was compared. Dose intensity was defined as the amount of cisplatin administered per unit time. Patients receiving cisplatin at high dose intensity experienced significantly higher incidences of ototoxicity (p=9e-07). Further stratification by TPMT-genotype revealed that carriers of ≥1 TPMT variant have increased incidence of ototoxicity compared to their wildtype counterparts, regardless of dose intensity (OR 1.41 per allele, p=0.038). These results may help identify patients able to safely tolerate higher doses of chemotherapy based on their pharmacogenetic profile, as well as those at risk of toxicity even at low exposure-levels.

description: The #metoo movement can serve as a case for how networked online environments can provide settings for the mobilization of social movements, while also entail serious risks for those involved. In Sweden, over hundred thousand people were engaged in activities against sexual harassments and abuse, where social media were used to collect testimonies and to draft and discuss petitions that were later published in print news media. While HCI research on trust focus on how people trust technical systems, the authorities behind the system, or the user generated data, trust between peers in vulnerable communities is less researched. In this study, based on semi- structured interviews and a survey that involved 62 organizers of the Swedish #metoo movement, we therefore look into the question of how a secure and supportive environment was achieved among participants despite the scale of the activism. The result shows how trust was aggregated over networks of technical systems, institutions, people, shared values and practices. The organizers of the petitions used tools and channels at their disposal such as e.g. already established social media contexts that enabled the #metoo petitions to be formed easily and spread quickly. Establishing a supportive culture based on recognition and shared values was central for the movement. However, when the activism was scaled up, strategies were used to increase security by clarifying rules and roles, limiting access to information, restricting access to groups, and limiting the scope of communication.

description: The actions, anomalies, and quantization conditions allow the M2-brane and the M5-brane to support, in a natural way, structures beyond Spin on their worldvolumes. The main examples are twisted String structures. This also extends to twisted String^c structures, which we introduce and relate to twisted String structures. The relation of the C-field to Chern-Simons theory suggests the use of the String cobordism category to describe the M2-brane.

description: Oftentimes domain-specific problems are imperceptible. The end users are so accustomed to the conditions that they do not request any other solution. In the context of a school for both hearing-impaired and hearing children, the particular way of teaching sign language led to the emergence of technology-mediated yet ill-supported work practices. This paper contributes to the CSCW community by introducing an approach for addressing domain-specific problems by applying a middle-ground yet optimal solution. As a direct outcome of this approach, we present the case of a data transfer system that supports sign language teachers’ work practices. This system, which is indefinitely deployed in the school, is a tangible representation of current infrastructural and contextual issues the teachers are facing, and serves both as a reflection on the work practices and an articulation means of the limitations that constraint them. We reflect on our approach, we discuss on the resulted case in terms of an indefinitely deployed research product, and we speculate on the system’s alternative application domains.

Selective pressure on metabolic network structures as measured from the random blind-watchmaker network

description: A random null model termed the Blind Watchmaker network (BW) has been shown to reproduce the degree distribution found in metabolic networks. This might suggest that natural selection has had little influence on this particular network property. We here investigate to what extent other structural network properties have evolved under selective pressure from the corresponding ones of the random null model: The clustering coefficient and the assortativity measures are chosen and it is found that these measures for the metabolic network structure are close enough to the BW-network so as to fit inside its reachable random phase space. It is furthermore shown that the use of this null model indicates an evolutionary pressure towards low assortativity and that this pressure is stronger for larger networks. It is also shown that selecting for BW networks with low assortativity causes the BW degree distribution to slightly deviate from its power-law shape in the same way as the metabolic networks. This implies that an equilibrium model with fluctuating degree distribution is more suitable as a null model, when identifying selective pressures, than a randomized counterpart with fixed degree sequence, since the overall degree sequence itself can change under selective pressure on other global network properties.

description: Graphs help answer complex questions, but they have traditionally been far too slow to be used in high-volume streaming data applications. While graph _databases_ have served batch-processing use cases for decades, a new streaming architecture is showing profound results for modern high-volume data pipelines. Quine (https://quine.io) is a new open source "streaming graph" with a fundamentally new architectural design allowing the common property graph data model to easily scale beyond millions of events per second. This talk will explore the design and applications of the Quine streaming graph for modern high-volume data pipelines.

description: We consider the phenomenology of the fourth generation heavy quarks which would be pair produced at the LHC. We show that if such a quark with a mass in the phenomenologically interesting range of 400 GeV--600 GeV decays to a light quark and a W-boson, it will produce a signal in a number of channels which can be seen above the background from the three generation Standard Model processes. In particular, such quarks could be seen in channels where multiple jets are present with large missing momentum and either a single hard lepton, an opposite sign hard lepton pair or a same sign lepton pair. In the same sign dilepton channel there is little background and so an excess of such pairs at large invariant mass will indicate the presence of heavy down type quarks. More generally, in our study, the main tool we use to determine the mass of the heavy quark in each of the channels we consider is to use the kinematics of the decay of such quarks to resolve the momenta of the unobserved neutrinos. We show how this can be carried out, even in cases where the kinematics is under-determined by use of the approximation, which holds quite well, that the two heavy quarks are nearly at rest in the center of mass frame. Since it is very likely that at least the lightest heavy quark decays in the mode we consider, this means that it should be observed at the LHC. Indeed, it is expected that the mass splitting between the quarks is less than $m_W$ so that if the Cabbibo-Kobayshi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element between the fourth and lower generations are not too small, both members of the fourth generation quark doublet will decay in this way. If this is so, the combined signal of these two quarks will make the signal for the fourth generation somewhat more prominent.

description: In this paper we describe #CapIt, a system that aims to combine the best of analog whiteboards and digiboards in tabletop collaborations. #CapIt was deployed at an HCI research unit for over a year. In an exploratory study completed after the system was fully integrated in participants‘ day-to-day work practices, three power users of #CapIt were asked to reflect on their use of the system by means of mindmapping. Using photo elicitation and semi-structured interviews, additional feedback was gathered from the participants. Based on the participants’ comments as well as our observations of the mindmapping process, we here report our findings pertaining to (1) hybridity; (2) collaboration; and (3) territories, privacy and temporality; and discuss the influence of the system on collaborative work practices.

description: {Timing analysis of Accretion-powered Millisecond Pulsars (AMPs) is a powerful tool to probe the physics of compact objects. The recently discovered \newigrj is the 12 discovered out of the 13 AMPs known. The Rossi XTE satellite provided an extensive coverage of the 25 days-long observation of the source outburst.} {Our goal is to investigate the complex interaction between the neutron star magnetic field and the accretion disk, determining the angular momentum exchange between them. The presence of a millisecond coherent flux modulation allows us to investigate such interaction from the study of pulse arrival times. In order to separate the neutron star proper spin frequency variations from other effects, a precise set of orbital ephemeris is mandatory.} {Using timing techniques, we analysed the pulse phase delays fitting differential corrections to the orbital parameters. To remove the effects of pulse phase fluctuations we applied the timing technique already successfully applied to the case of an another AMP, XTE J1807-294.} {We report a precise set of orbital ephemeris. We demonstrate that the companion star is a main sequence star. We find pulse phase delays fluctuations on the first harmonic with a characteristic amplitude of about 0.05, similar to what also observed in the case of the AMP XTE J1814-338. For the second time an AMP shows a third harmonic detected during the entire outburst. The first harmonic phase delays show a puzzling behaviour, while the second harmonic phase delays show a clear spin-up. Also the third harmonic shows a spin-up, although not highly significant (3$σ$ c.l.). The presence of a fourth harmonic is also reported. In the hypothesis that the second harmonic is a good tracer of the spin frequency of the neutron star, we find a mean spin frequency derivative for this source of \np{1.65(18)}{-13} Hz s$^{-1}$.} (continue ...)

description: This paper contributes to an ongoing discussion in the research community regarding the role of new technology in the lives of those experiencing homelessness. Ask Izzy is a mobile web app designed to help people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless find the services they need. Since deployment in 2016, it is now attracting over 10,000 users each month. We explore the perceptions towards the design and use of Ask Izzy with a specific focus on emotional concerns. We interviewed 30 participants who were either homeless, ex-homeless, service providers or software developers of the web application. Seven themes emerged from the analysis that appeared to act as barriers or enablers to the uptake of the technology. We discuss how these themes are associated with aspects of technology design or an associated experience with a service provider. We also contrast the views of those who are homeless with service providers. We believe these themes will provoke discussion and be useful for others who are designing for those who are homeless.

description: We use a simple relational framework to develop the key notions and results on hidden variables and non-locality. The extensive literature on these topics in the foundations of quantum mechanics is couched in terms of probabilistic models, and properties such as locality and no-signalling are formulated probabilistically. We show that to a remarkable extent, the main structure of the theory, through the major No-Go theorems and beyond, survives intact under the replacement of probability distributions by mere relations.

Mass spectrometry analysis of the secretome in malignant lung adenocarcinoma transformation
Creators: name: Luu, Jennifer K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Lung cancer and its most common subtype, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), is the leading cause of global cancer mortality. Mortality is partially attributed to late stage diagnosis, where curative options are limited and less effective for patient survival. Current screening guidelines are prone to false positive results, and there are no lung cancer-specific biomarkers to aid detection. This is especially relevant for never smokers, a lung cancer patient demographic often characterized by the EGFR oncogenic mutation. Never smokers lack concrete screening guidelines; this makes biomarker discovery and validation crucial for earlier detection. The collective set of secreted proteins derived from a cell, known as the secretome, has been explored as a potential source of cancer biomarkers. However, LUAD secretome studies have been limited to late stage or metastatic tumors; investigation of secretome changes during malignant transformation may thus be more suitable for biomarker discovery. This thesis investigated changes in the secretome in an EGFR-driven model of LUAD malignant transformation. In this study, I generated a stepwise model of EGFR-driven malignant transformation by generating stable lung epithelial cell lines and selecting EGFR mutant NSCLC cell lines. I also developed and optimized a mass spectrometry protocol to profile the secretome of my model. With this pipeline, I identified differentially expressed proteins in advanced LUAD. I then validated these findings by performing differential gene expression (DGE) analysis on an EGFR mutant LUAD patient cohort. Finally, validated secreted proteins were assessed for effects on overall patient survival resulting in 4 EGFR-specific and 1 non-specific biomarker candidates. This work provides insight into potential secretome changes during LUAD malignant transformation, biomarker candidates for further validation, and illustrates the potential of the secretome in EGFR mutant LUAD detection.
Generalized Slow Roll for Non-Canonical Kinetic Terms

description: We show that the generalized slow-roll approach for calculating the power spectrum where the inflationary slow roll parameters are neither small nor slowly varying can be readily extended to models with non-canonical kinetic terms in the inflaton action. For example, rapid sound speed variations can arise in DBI models with features in the warp factor leading to features in the power spectrum. Nonetheless there remains a single source function for deviations that is simply related to the power spectrum. Empirical constraints on this source function can be readily interpreted in the context of features in the inflaton potential or sound speed.

Self taught : a case study of successful self-directed strategies, practices, and affordances used by newcomers engaged in English as an additional language learning in the workplace
Creators: name: Wiebe, Karin Laureen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: In recent years, British Columbia has welcomed more newcomers than ever before (Mendicino, 2019). British Columbia’s newcomers, many of whom speak English as an additional language (EAL), bring valuable skills, training, and experience to the Canadian workplace. These workspaces become places of ad lib, self-directed EAL learning. The new EAL skills acquired within the workplace, in turn complement and build on the resources newcomers already bring, to the benefit of coworkers, employers, and the community. Understanding and supporting self-driven EAL learning facilitates newcomers realizing their potential in a new place. This qualitative case study (Duff & Anderson, 2015) used a series of interviews and a focus group to look at the successful self driven language learning strategies, practices, and tools used by newcomers as they learn EAL in the workplace. Data were analyzed using a thematic approach (Braun & Clarke, 2006). Following an additional language socialization framework (Duff, 2007; Duff & Talmy, 2011), data collected suggested that sympathetic interlocuters play a key role in workplace language learning through direct and indirect support, correction, and language learning synthesis. Further, interlocuters initially communicate existing language around workplace rules and policies, then eventually participate as co-constructors along with newcomers in the new workplace social group that fosters language learning. Findings also indicated participants employ metacognitive strategies (Oxford, 2017) to determine who and how to ask for assistance, to understand how to organize their learning methods, and to reflect on learning and goals. The study also found that participants engage in regular practices like meaning making and self-directed study to learn workplace English. Thus, a nuanced understanding of workplace additional language socialization is emerging, with implications for supporting newcomers as they participate in the English-speaking sectors of the Canadian workforce. The implications of this study include contributing a layer of academic understanding to self-directed EAL learning in Canadian workplaces where English is the language of business and communication. The study may also provide insights which can inform curriculum development for workplace language socialization courses and general EAL courses for newcomers.

description: From CCD observations of a fixed and large star field that contained the binary TNO Orcus, we have been able to derive high-precision relative astrometry and photometry of the Orcus system with respect to background stars. The RA residuals of an orbital fit to the astrometric data revealed a periodicity of 9.7+-0.3 days, which is what one would expect to be induced by the known Orcus companion. The residuals are also correlated with the theoretical positions of the satellite with regard to the primary. We therefore have revealed the presence of Orcus' satellite in our astrometric measurements. The photocenter motion is much larger than the motion of Orcus around the barycenter, and we show here that detecting some binaries through a carefully devised astrometric technique might be feasible with telescopes of moderate size. We also analyzed the system's mid-term photometry to determine whether the rotation could be tidally locked to the satellite's orbital period. We found that a photometric variability of 9.7+-0.3 days is clear in our data, and is nearly coincident with the orbital period of the satellite. We believe this variability might be induced by the satellite's rotation. There is also a slight hint for an additional small variability in the 10 hr range that was already reported in the literature. This short-term variability would indicate that the primary is not tidally locked and therefore the system would not have reached a double synchronous state. Implications for the basic physical properties of the primary and its satellite are discussed. From angular momentum considerations we suspect that the Orcus satellite might have formed from a rotational fission. This requires that the mass of the satellite would be around 0.09 times that of the primary, close to the value that one derives by using an albedo of 0.12 for the satellite and assuming equal densities for both objects.
