The Influence of Discriminatory Beliefs on Practice

subject: Sociology
subject: FOS: Sociology

description: Black women in the United States suffer disproportionately from a number of chronic and acute diseases. Not only do black women suffer from these diseases, they also have poorer outcomes and higher levels of morbidity and mortality than others. Years of biomedical and social science research have identified various permutations of patient-level factors, including cultural mistrust and genetic predisposition, to explain the existence of this race and gender-specific reality. However, few studies have looked at physician-level influences on poor health results for black women.
      Through the use of face-to-face and internet-based instruments combining patient vignettes and closed and open-ended treatment questions, the Implicit Association Test (IAT) and a series of measures of explicit discriminatory beliefs, this study used the case of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) to illustrate how and whether decisions about medical treatment and follow-up for black women patients differ from decisions made for white women patients in varying degrees according to: the patient´s race; the severity of symptoms; the physician's perception of the patient's personal characteristics (e.g., personality, mood); the physician's demographic characteristics; and the physician´s score on the discriminatory belief measures named above. The study has collected data from 94 rheumatologists.
      The study enabled the assessment of differences in treatment recommendations for women SLE patients presenting with symptoms of lupus nephritis (LN), a fairly common organ involvement for people with SLE. The only difference between the patients seen by the doctors through the study was their race, black or white, so the study asked whether treatment recommendations were significantly different for black patients as compared to white patients. The study also asked whether these treatment decisions could be predicted by scores on a series of measures of implicit (unconscious) and explicit racial bias.  Overall, this study did not find evidence that physicians recommended less optimal treatment to black patients.  Several possible reasons for the non-significant findings are discussed.
      The thesis recommends further study and intervention into the identification and treatment of early symptoms of disease among black women to reduce the incidence of avoidable morbidity and mortality in this population. These studies should as well take into account the possibility that over-compensatory behaviors may be exhibited by physician study participants who suspect that their racism or discriminatory beliefs may be revealed through their responses. New methods to obscure explicit and implicit discriminatory measures and to reduce the threat of racism for respondents should be explored.
The Influence Of Glass Transition Temperature On The Performance Of Acrylic Thermoplastic Adhesives

Architecture--Conservation and restoration

description: Acrylic thermoplastic resins are commonly used in conservation for consolidation and as adhesives. They are popular with conservators due to their reversibility and their considerable strength in moderately temperate environments; however, when used in an environment that exceeds their glass transition temperature (Tg), the adhesives will soften and flow, causing the adhered objects to slump or fall apart. The research presented here examines the performance of acrylic adhesives in environments with high heat exposure. Previous experiences of some conservators suggests that thermoplastic adhesives with a high Tg may not be appropriate for some substrates or fail after some years. It has been also suggested that the failure is due to their brittleness. Therefore, one of the aims of this research was to understand the relationship between glass transition temperatures and brittleness while continuing to provide reversibility and maintain strength. This paper presents results from experiments that tested the use of four acrylic thermoplastic adhesives and two mixtures of these adhesives to explore the effects of temperature on the performance and stability of these adhesives. Environmental simulations were performed using a temperature cycling chamber which was followed by four-point bending tests to assess strength and brittleness. The second part of the study tested the effect of temperature on the creep behavior of each adhesive. The results of this study will contribute to a better understanding of the long term behavior of adhesives in environments outside the climate controlled museum.

description: This paper deals with design of the alternative secure Blockchain network framework to prevent damages from an attacker. The concept of the strategic alliance of the management is applied on the top of the recent developed stochastic game framework. This new enhanced hybrid theoretical model has been developed based on the combination of the conventional game theory, the fluctuation theory and the Blockchain Governance Game to find best strategies towards preparation for preventing a network malfunction from an attacker by making the strategic alliance with other genuine miners. Analytically tractable results for decision making parameters are fully obtained which enable to predict the moment for operations and deliver the optimal number of the alliance with other nodes to protect the Blockchain network. This research helps for whom considers the initial coin offering or launching new blockchain based services with enhancing the security features by alliance with the trusted miners within the decentralized network.

description: Many statistical estimators for high-dimensional linear regression are M-estimators, formed through minimizing a data-dependent square loss function plus a regularizer. This work considers a new class of estimators implicitly defined through a discretized gradient dynamic system under overparameterization. We show that under suitable restricted isometry conditions, overparameterization leads to implicit regularization: if we directly apply gradient descent to the residual sum of squares with sufficiently small initial values, then under some proper early stopping rule, the iterates converge to a nearly sparse rate-optimal solution that improves over explicitly regularized approaches. In particular, the resulting estimator does not suffer from extra bias due to explicit penalties, and can achieve the parametric root-n rate when the signal-to-noise ratio is sufficiently high. We also perform simulations to compare our methods with high dimensional linear regression with explicit regularization. Our results illustrate the advantages of using implicit regularization via gradient descent after overparameterization in sparse vector estimation.

description: This paper investigates the Bayesian process of identifying unknown model parameters given prior information and a set of noisy measurement data. There are two approaches being adopted in this research: one that uses the classical formula for measures and probability densities and one that leaves the underlying measure unchanged and updates the relevant random variable. 
The former is numerically tackled by a Markov chain Monte Carlo procedure based on the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, whereas the latter is implemented via the ensemble/square root ensemble Kalman filters, as well as the functional approximation approaches in the form of the polynomial chaos based linear Bayesian filter and its corresponding square root algorithm.
The study attempts to show the principal differences between full and linear Bayesian updates when a direct or a transformed version of measurements are taken into consideration. In this regard the comparison of both strategies is provided on the example of a steady state diffusion equation with nonlinear and transformed linear measurement operators.

Abstract:
Background: Cell therapy regulatory applications often face more objections compared to conventional small molecule or biological drugs, leading to delays in market approval and clinical adoption. These increased regulatory objections frequently relate to preclinical evidence, such as experimental design of animal studies, selection of animal models, endpoints, and determination of mechanism of action. Synthesis and clarification of the preclinical evidence necessary to demonstrate treatment efficacy and advance into early-phase clinical trials is needed. Such guidance can aid researchers with planning appropriate preclinical studies to avoid downstream regulatory objections. 
Objective: To synthesize the types and characteristics of preclinical efficacy evidence that regulators recommend for novel cell therapies to be advanced to human clinical trials. 
Methods: We will search repositories of the International Council on Harmonisation and all national member organizations (N=38) for documents related to preclinical studies of cell therapies. Active guidance documents related to cell therapy will be included, with no restrictions based on year or language of publication. Data extraction will be conducted in duplicate using DistillerSR, with conflicts resolved through discussion or by a third reviewer. Our scope will focus on categories of guidance related to recommended types or characteristics of preclinical efficacy evidence expected for cell therapies to be advanced to human clinical trials or analogous usage of efficacy such as: 1) preferred terminology to describe preclinical models and efficacy-related concepts; 2) mechanism of treatment action; 3) relevance of preclinical models to clinical disease; 4) evidence that the intervention can modify disease; 5) characteristics of the intervention/comparator; 6) characteristics of study design / analysis. We will rank data by frequency to highlight the most prevalent recommendations, with additional stratification to highlight similarities and inconsistencies across regulatory agencies where possible. 
Impact: Clarification of regulatory expectations will improve researchers’ efficiency in selecting and translating therapies. This study will highlight recommendations that researchers should incorporate when designing preclinical studies of cell therapy efficacy. This will improve acceptability for regulatory consideration and facilitate translation into early phase clinical trials.

description: Tenthredo kaszabi Muche, 1965
A junior subjective synonym of Tenthredo (Eurogaster) mesomela Linnaeus, 1758, syn. nov.
TYPES. Tenthredo kaszabi Muche, 1965a: 244 –246. Holotype Ƥ (Fig. 24). Type locality not stated precisely; data for the complete type material: “ 58 km nordwestlich von Ulan Baator 110 m [sic!], 9. VII. 1964. 126 km nördlich von Ulan Baator, 1100 m, 7. VII. 1964. Central aimak, südöstlich von somon Bajancogt, 1600 m ”. Examined (Fig. 24). Type locality: “ Mongolia, Central Aimak 58 km NW v. Ulan-Baator 1200 m.”
DISCUSSION. Tenthredo mesomela is a widely distributed species in the Palaearctic region. Regarding the differences between T. kaszabi and T. mesomela Muche (1965) wrote: “Die neue Art gleicht der Tenthredo mesomelas L., unterscheidet sich jedoch durch die anders gebildeten Fühler, abweichenden Valven und anderes Proportionsmaß.” The “Valven” refer to the male genitalia, which, although not directly relevant to discussion of the female holotype, do not significantly differ from mesomela males. The antennae of the holotype are slender, as is usual in mesomela. Finally, it remains unclear which character or characters Muche intended to point out with “anderes Proportionsmaß”. I found it impossible to find any character state which does not fall within the range of variability found in mesomela.

description: Quantum weak chaos is studied in a perturbed degenerate system --- a charged particle interacting with a monochromatic wave in a transverse magnetic field. The evolution operator for an arbitrary number of periods of the external field is built and its structure is explored in terms of the QE (quasienergy eigenstates) under resonance condition (wave frequency $=$ cyclotron frequency) in the regime of weak classical chaos. The new phenomenon of diffusion via the quantum separatrices and the influence of chaos on diffusion are investigated and, in the quasi classical limit, compared with its classical dynamics. We determine the crossover from purely quantum diffusion to a diffusion which is the quantum manifestation of classical diffusion along the stochastic web. This crossover results from the non-monotonic dependence of the characteristic localization length of the QE states on the wave amplitude. The width of the quantum separatrices was computed and compared with the width of the classical stochastic web. We give the physical parameters which can be realized experimentally to show the manifestation of quantum chaos in nonlinear acoustic resonance.

description: A realistic study of the physics reach of a t-tbar threshold scan at a future e+e- linear collider is presented. The results obtained take into account experimental and, to a large extent, theoretical systematic errors, as well as beam effects. Because of the large correlations between the physical parameters that can be extracted from the threshold scan, a multi-parameter fit is seen as mandatory. It is shown that the top mass, the top width and alpha_s(M_Z) can be extracted simultaneously with uncertainties around 20 MeV, 30 MeV and 0.0012, respectively, while the top Yukawa coupling can be measured, with the previous three parameters, to an uncertainty of about 35%, after assuming an external prior on alpha_s of +/-0.001.

description: Globally oriented content and perspectives are urgently needed in United States secondary classrooms as the world continues to become more interconnected. U.S. secondary students are typically exposed to global topics in world history courses. There is limited research on the intersection of global education and world history, particularly within empirical studies concerning teachers’ positionalities and practice. This qualitative study explores this gap by asking: How do self-identified globally oriented world history teachers’ positionalities influence their curricular and pedagogical decisions? The sub-questions are: What identities, experiences, and surrounding social structures shape teachers’ understanding of themselves as global educators? Where/when/how do world history teachers position themselves within the knowledge, material, and teaching about the world? This study, utilizing interviews, elicitation tasks (concept mapping, identity card sort, global image ranking), and observations of teaching, investigated eight globally oriented New York City public school world history teachers. Findings suggest reconceptualizing teacher positionalities to include worldviews and place-based experiences abroad in addition to identities, subjectivities, and contexts. These intertwining aspects of world history teachers’ positionalities influenced their practice to teach with a global orientation in a world history classroom. Four worldviews were significant in how these teachers framed the world for themselves and their students: interconnectedness, justice-orientations, cosmopolitanism, and critical perspectives. Place-based experiences abroad were significant aspects to their positionalities in that they gained content knowledge of the place while confronting their social positions and privileges. These engagements contributed to the ways in which they approached their knowledge construction of the world in their approaches to curriculum and teaching. I suggest these aspects of teacher positionalities be integrated into future research in global education and social studies teacher education programs.

description: We consider the Hamiltonian mechanics and thermodynamics of an eternal black hole in a box of fixed radius and temperature in generic 2-D dilaton gravity. Imposing boundary conditions analoguous to those used by Louko and Whiting for spherically symmetric gravity, we find that the reduced Hamiltonian generically takes the form: $$ H(M,ϕ_+) = σ_0 E(M,ϕ_+) -{N_0\over 2π} S(M) $$ where $E(M,ϕ_+)$ is the quasilocal energy of a black hole of mass $M$ inside a static box (surface of fixed dilaton field $ϕ_+$) and $S(M)$ is the associated classical thermodynamical entropy. $σ_0$ and $N_0$ determine time evolution along the world line of the box and boosts at the bifurcation point, respectively. An ansatz for the quantum partition function is obtained by fixing $σ_0$ and $N_0$ and then tracing the operator $e^{-βH}$ over mass eigenstates. We analyze this partition function in some detail both generically and for the class of dilaton gravity theories that is obtained by dimensional reduction of Einstein gravity in n+2 dimensions with $S^n$ spherical symmetry.

The Influence of Spiritual Coping and Racial Identity on Psychological Well-Being in Black Americans
Creators: Smith, Sidney
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Counseling psychology

description: According to the 2003 report of the Presidential Commission on Mental Health, it is vital that all Americans obtain an equal share in the best available mental health services and outcomes, irrespective of race, gender, ethnicity, or geographic location. The report suggests that services must be tailored to include culturally diverse populations and should also provide access to positive outcomes of care. While spirituality has been historically linked to Black Americans as a resource and buffer, the nature and role of its effectiveness still needs to be determined and explored. This study moves our understanding forward in terms of defining spirituality and its effect on healthy psychological functioning by exploring how spiritual beliefs can possibly bolster one's ability to cope with hardships. Understanding what factors in one's life can possibly improve psychological functioning is of particular significance at this time when so many challenges are disproportionately affecting the well-being of Black Americans. The search for resilience promoting factors must also be examined. Participants in this study were 362 Black individuals enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs in colleges and universities who completed the Black Racial Identity Scale (BRIAS; Helms & Parham, 1985), the Spirituality Scale (SS; Jagers, Boykin, & Smith, 1997), the Africultural Coping Systems Inventory (ACSI) (Utsey et al., 2000), the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18; Derogatis, 2000), the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB; Ryff, 1989), and a personal data form. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated that spirituality partially mediates the relationship between racial identity and psychological functioning. Furthermore, results support the historical notion that spirituality is an important instrument by which Blacks are able to deal with negative experiences. Implications for clinical practice and future considerations are discussed.

Semiclassical predictions for quasienergies of the system are found to be in a very good agreement with exact quantum data enabling a classification of possible types of motion and their dynamics with the change of the ellipticity of the microwaves. Particular attention is paid to the dynamics of the nonspreading wave packet states which are found to exist for an arbitrary microwave polarization.

description: A legislature’s ability to engage in oversight of the executive is believed to derive largely from its committee system. For example, powerful parliamentary committees are considered a necessary condition for the legislature to help police policy compromises between parties in multiparty government. But can other parliamentary instruments perform this role? This article suggests parliamentary questions as an alternative parliamentary vehicle for coalition parties to monitor their partners. Questions force ministers to reveal information concerning their legislative and extra-legislative activities, providing coalition members unique insights into their partners’ behaviour. In order to test our argument, we build and analyse a new dataset of parliamentary questions in the British House of Commons covering the 2010‒2015 coalition. As expected, government MPs ask more questions as the divisiveness of a policy area increases. Legislatures conventionally considered weak due to the lack of strong committees may nevertheless play an important oversight role through other parliamentary devices, including helping to police the implementation of coalition agreements.

description: We study the spatiotemporal dynamics, in one and two spatial dimensions, of two complex fields which are the two components of a vector field satisfying a vector form of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. We find synchronization and generalized synchronization of the spatiotemporally chaotic dynamics. The two kinds of synchronization can coexist simultaneously in different regions of the space, and they are mediated by localized structures. A quantitative characterization of the degree of synchronization is given in terms of mutual information measures.

description: On the basis of pure gauge sector of Blaizot-Iancu equation, we derive kinetic equation of Boltzmann type, taking into account 2n+2-colorless plasmon decay processes, n=1,2,.... Using so-called Tsytovich correspondence principle, a direct connection between matrix elements of the plasmon decay processes and certain effective current, generating these processes, is established. The procedure of calculation of matrix element for simplest four-plasmon decay is considered comprehensively. The limiting value of the plasmon occupation number (~ 1/g^2, where g is a strong coupling) wherein all plasmon decays with n >= 1, contribute to the right-hand side of the Boltzmann equation, is defined. The iterative method of calculation of matrix elements for higher decay processes (n > 1), is proposed, and a problem of their gauge-invariance is discussed. Proceed from the general reasons the problem of extension of suggested approach to the case of color plasmons, is considered. The explicit form of linearized Boltzmann equation for color plasmons is written out, and it is shown that this equation covariantly conserves the color current, resulting from color-plasmon number density.

description: We consider true vacuum bubbles generated in a first order phase transition occurring during the slow rolling era of a two field inflation: it is known that gravitational waves are produced by the collision of such bubbles. We find that the epoch of the phase transition strongly affects the characteristic peak frequency of the gravitational waves, causing an observationally interesting redshift in addition to the post-inflationary expansion. In particular it is found that a phase transition occurring typically 10$÷$20 $e-$foldings before the reheating at $kT\simeq 10^{15}$ GeV may be detected by the next Ligo gravity waves interferometers. Moreover, for recently proposed models capable of generating the observed large scale voids as remnants of the primordial bubbles (for which the characteristic wave lengths are several tens of Mpc), it is found that the level of anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background provides a deep insight upon the physical parameters of the effective Lagrangian.

description: Nonlinear time series analysis is becoming a more and more reliable tool for the study of complicated dynamics from measurements. The concept of low-dimensional chaos has proven to be fruitful in the understanding of many complex phenomena despite the fact that very few natural systems have actually been found to be low dimensional deterministic in the sense of the theory. In order to evaluate the long term usefulness of the nonlinear time series approach as inspired by chaos theory, it will be important that the corresponding methods become more widely accessible. This paper, while not a proper review on nonlinear time series analysis, tries to make a contribution to this process by describing the actual implementation of the algorithms, and their proper usage. Most of the methods require the choice of certain parameters for each specific time series application. We will try to give guidance in this respect. The scope and selection of topics in this article, as well as the implementational choices that have been made, correspond to the contents of the software package TISEAN which is publicly available from http://www.mpipks-dresden.mpg.de/~tisean . In fact, this paper can be seen as an extended manual for the TISEAN programs. It fills the gap between the technical documentation and the existing literature, providing the necessary entry points for a more thorough study of the theoretical background.

description: This study aimed to detect patterns in clause construction structural changes produced by four participants aged 9;5–13;7 (years;months) with motor speech disorders who used speech-generating devices. Sequences of adult–child interactions, drawn from the data of a larger study focused on enhancing vocabulary and grammar skills, were examined. This current study comprises a secondary analysis of a corpus of 29 conversations totalling 808.36 min, analysing clause structures by type, linguistic complexity, and intensity of adult prompts (number of turns). Results show that, over time, the participants’ clause structure complexity increased through addition of phrase-internal elements such as inflections, articles, and prepositions. Use of specific grammatical elements followed the developmental stages observed in children with typical development. For all participants, the personal pronoun I (first-person singular) emerged before she, he (third-person singular), and we or they (plural). Participants with the highest number of adult–child co-constructed clauses also had the highest number of well-formed clauses. The intensity of adult prompts increased as clause structures became more complex and as participants needed more support. Implications for practice and theory are discussed.

A junior subjective synonym of Tenthredo (Tenthredella) balteata Klug, 1817, syn. nov.
TYPE. Tenthredo tschinggischanensis Muche, 1965 b: Holotype Ƥ (Fig. 38). Type locality not stated precisely; data for the complete type material: “ Mongolei: südöstl. von somon Bajancogt, 1600 m, 4. VII. 1964.— 12 km südöstl. von Ulan-Bator, 1500 m, 6. VII. 64. 120 km nördlich von Ulan-Bator, 1100 m, 7. VII. 64. —Ulan-Bator, 1500 m, 18. VI. 63.—leg. KASZAB“. Type locality: “ Mongolia, Central aimak, 12 km SO v. Ulan Baator Nucht i. Bogdo ul 1500 m ”.
DISCUSSION. Muche compared T. tschinggischanensis with T. ferruginea Schrank, 1776, a variable species similar to T. balteata. A comparison of the holotype of tschinggischanensis (Fig. 38) with specimens of T. balteata, revealed no significant characters that can be used to distinguish these nominal taxa. Tenthredo balteata is widely distributed in the Palaearctic realm, and is to be found mainly in mountainous areas.

QCD Factorization for the Pion Diffractive Dissociation Into Two Jets

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report a detailed study of the process of pion diffraction dissociation into two jets with large transverse momenta. We find that the standard collinear factorization does not hold in this reaction. The structure of non-factorizable contributions is discussed and the results are compared with the experimental data. Our conclusion is that the existing theoretical uncertainties do not allow, for the time being, for a quantitative extraction of the pion distribution amplitude.

description: From the point of view of a philosophy of literature the position of lyric poetry is specific. While epistemic approaches focus on fiction and its forms of cognition, lyric poetry is often reduced to conveying emotions or atmosphere. While arguing for the epistemic content of lyric poetry, the paper will focus on the concept of representation (‚Vergegenwärtigung‘). Emphasis will be placed on the non-propositional component of cognition as well as on a specific understanding of experience in the form of knowing, ‘what-it-islike’. While didactic poetry displays a propositional character, nonsense-poetry with its emphasis on analogy as well as the poetry of experience (‘Erlebnisdichtung’) fall on the non-propositional side. The form of cognition that is central, here, resembles that of Bertrand Russell’s ‘knowledge by acquaintance’, albeit as one of indirect acquaintance. By contrast to phenomenal experience and an emotivistic reading of poetry the non-propositional knowledge it conveys is based on cognitive procedures such as imagination and/or projection. In sum, then, the epistemic impact of literature is not restricted to fiction but can also be said to apply to lyric poetry.
