Introduction to the Special Issue on Quantum Cognition
Creators: name: Gabora, Liane
Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2018

description: The subject of this special issue is quantum models of cognition. At first sight it may seem bizarre, even ridiculous, to draw a connection between quantum mechanics, a highly successful theory usually understood as modeling sub-atomic phenomena, and cognitive science. However, a growing number of researchers are looking to quantum theory to circumvent stubborn problems within their own fields. This is also true within cognitive science and related areas, hence this special issue

description: Rhipidura louisiadensis Hartert
 Rhipidura louisiadensis Hartert, 1899a: 78 (Rossel Island in the Louisiade Archipelago).
 Now Rhipidura rufifrons louisiadensis Hartert, 1899. See Schodde and Mason, 1999: 476–478.
 LECTOTYPE: AMNH 650764, adult male, collected on Yela (5 Rossel) Island, 11.20S, 154.10E (Papua New Guinea, 1984), Louisiade Archipelago, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea, on 30 January 1898, by Albert S. Meek (no. 1335). From the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: No type was designated in the original description, Hartert saying only that he had six specimens. Hartert (1920: 496) listed as the type of R. louisiadensis the specimen bearing Meek’s number 1335, thereby designating it the lectotype. The type series apparently comprised six specimens in addition to the type; paralectotypes all collected on Yela by Meek in 1898 are: AMNH 650765–650770. AMNH 650770 was exchanged to FMNH in the early 1960s.

Absence of strong CP violation

description: Quantum Chromodynamics admits a CP-violating contribution to the action, the θ term, which is expected to give rise to a nonvanishing electric dipole moment of the neutron. Despite intensive search, no CP violations have been found in the strong interaction. This puzzle is referred to as the strong CP problem. There is evidence that CP is conserved in the confining theory, to the extent that color charges are totally screened for θ>0 at large distances. It is not immediately obvious that this implies a vanishing dipole moment though. With this Letter I will close the gap. It is shown that in the infinite volume hadron correlation functions decouple from the topological charge, expressed in terms of the zero modes. The reason is that hadrons have a limited range of interaction, while the density of zero modes vanishes with the inverse root of the volume, thus reducing the probability of finding a zero mode in the vicinity to zero. This implies, beyond doubt, that CP is conserved in the strong interaction.

The emergence and evolution of integrated worldviews
Creators: name: Gabora, Liane

Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2018

description: It is proposed that the ability of humans to flourish in diverse environments and evolve complex cultures reflects the following two underlying cognitive transitions. The transition from the coarse-grained associative memory of Homo habilis to the fine-grained memory of Homo erectus enabled limited representational redescription of perceptually similar episodes, abstraction, and analytic thought, the last of which is modeled as the formation of states and of lattices of properties and contexts for concepts. The transition to the modern mind of Homo sapiens is proposed to have resulted from onset of the capacity to spontaneously and temporarily shift to an associative mode of thought conducive to interaction amongst seemingly disparate concepts, modeled as the forging of conjunctions resulting in states of entanglement. The fruits of associative thought became ingredients for analytic thought, and vice versa. The ratio of associative pathways to concepts surpassed a percolation threshold resulting in the emergence of a self-modifying, integrated internal model of the world, or worldview.

description: Using the theoretical framework of Self-Determination Theory (Deci, 1975; Deci, & Ryan, 1985, 2000; Ryan, & Deci, 2002) and Cognitive Evaluation Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985, 1991, 2000) it was hypothesized that a specific coach behavior, the provision of training plans in advance to athletes, could positively impact athlete intrinsic and self-determined motivation as well as other positive athlete attributes such as sport satisfaction, goal setting, vitality, and better preparation and planning for training. A mixed methodology approach was employed as both qualitative and quantitative data were obtained. The qualitative component involved the use of structured interviewing to understand better how individual sport athletes (N = 13) perceive their coaches in relation to their communication of training plans. For the quantitative components, a daily diary methodology was used with the goal of investigating how track athletes (N = 11) working with the same coach would perceive either receiving no training plan information over time as well as receiving detailed training plan information over two-week periods. Finally a correlational study (N = 130) using athletes from fourteen sports was undertaken to more clearly determine the links between coach communication of training plans, athlete perceptions of coach behavior, athlete self-determined motivation, and goal orientation. The qualitative component of the study revealed that athletes current motivation, the coaching tradition in a sport, and the development stage of an athlete's career all play a large role in the communication of training plans between a coach and athlete. The analyses of the daily diary study suggested some positive consequences may be associated with advance communication of training plans such as better athlete preparation and planning for training as well higher moods and motivation at practice. Regression results from the correlational study provide some clear links between advance communication of training plans, coach clarity of communication, and coach interpersonal behaviors related to athlete needs for relatedness, competence, and autonomy. In turn coach interpersonal behaviors are highly related to athlete self-determination and other positive consequences such as a mastery goal-orientation and high vitality and sport satisfaction. These finding are discussed in terms of how they relate to self-determination theory, and more specifically Deci and Ryan's cognitive evaluation theory (1980, 2000). Practical implications for coaching are also discussed.

The Landscape of Toxicity in Reddit: From Users to Conversations to Moderators

Publisher: name: Manara - Qatar Research Repository
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 40
subject: Engineering

description: Online platforms like Reddit enable users to build communities and converse about diverse topics and interests. However, an increasing number of users publish disturbing posts and comments containing profanity, harassment, and hate speech, otherwise known as toxic content. Such users can change their toxic behavior by participating in multiple communities. Within communities, conversations can show ominous signs of toxicity when they contain causes (i.e., triggers) of toxicity. When toxicity increases, moderators often struggle with managing the safety of conversations in online communities. To address these issues, first, we analyzed toxicity in the form of toxic user behavior. We found that 16.11% of cross-community users publish toxic posts, and 13.28% of cross-community users publish toxic comments. However, results showed that 30.68% of users publishing posts and 81.67% of users publishing comments exhibit changes in their toxicity across different communities, indicating that users adapt their behavior to the communities’ norms. Next, we extracted a set of sentiment shift, topical shift, and context-based features from 991,806 conversation threads. Then, we used them to build a dual embedding biLSTM neural network that achieved an AUC score of 0.789. Our analysis showed that specific triggering keywords, like ‘racist’ and ‘women’, are common across all communities. Lastly, we performed a mixed-method study on a collection of 1,827 responses from Reddit moderators. The survey analysis found specific themes like experience and style, views on toxicity, and how they adhere to community guidelines, which influence the toxicity of moderators and how they handle toxicity. This dissertation presents our approach, which builds on state-of-the-art toxic comment and toxicity trigger detection methods. Lastly, we show our research findings of investigating toxicity across users and moderators on Reddit.

description: With a strong global commitment to ending food insecurity and malnutrition, policymakers are increasingly grappling with how to make smallholder agriculture nutrition-sensitive. While the need to address these problems on multiple fronts is widely recognized, there is limited evidence on the nutritional impacts of integrated interventions in export-oriented sectors in developing countries. This paper aims to bridge this gap by evaluating the nutritional impacts of an innovative nutrition-sensitive value chain intervention, uniquely designed to address food and nutrition insecurity among smallholder cocoa, coffee, and cashew farmers in Sierra Leone. The diversity scores of household, maternal, and child diets are the main dietary outcomes employed in the study. Estimation of programme effects is carried out using the inverse-probability-weighted regression adjustment, which combines the propensity score method with regression adjustments to correct for selection bias and accommodate multiple treatments. We do not find a positive impact of supporting cash crop production on the diversity of household, maternal, and child diets unless it is combined with providing information on nutrition. Specifically, combining both interventions is found to significantly improve dietary diversity and the consumption of nutritious foodstuffs at household and individual levels, in comparison with non-intervention households. We found improvements in nutrition knowledge and women empowerment to be the main pathways linking the combined intervention to better dietary outcomes. The results suggest that nutrition-sensitive investments in cash crop sectors promise to be an effective way to increase dietary diversity and sustainably reduce micronutrient deficiencies among nutritionally vulnerable smallholder families in high-value export crop sectors.

description: A taximetric study, utilizing 71 plant characters for 21 species of Vitis has been completed. Phenetic similarities among the species were estimated by productmoment (r), distance (d) and divergence (D) coefficients. The unweighted pair-group method of clustering was used to graphically summarize the results in three phenograms. Congruency among the phenograms was examined by comparisons of primary affinity clusters and patterns of clustering sequence among phenograms and four classical classifications of Vitis; the classification of FOEx showed the best overall congruency with the phenograms. The phenograms were also compared with the authors' concept of species affinity relationship; the divergence phenogram showed the greatest congruency. A tentative scheme of relationships based upon a modification of the divergence phenogram was devised.

description: The intensity of photosynthetical C02-fixation in red Veltliner leaves, strongly or slightly infected with GCM, was compared with leaves of healthy individuals. Leaves of white Sultana, slightly infected with GFYM virus were also compared with leaves of healthy plants. The photosynthetic activity was calculated by measuring the CO2-fixation in dark and in light and the data thus obtained were compared with the content of chlorophyll. In GCM infected leaves with slight symptoms the chlorophyll level and the intensity of photosynthetical CO2 -fixation gradually decreased; in leaves with severe symptoms, the specific activity (CO2-fixation/mg chlorophyll) was relatively higher, presumably· due to the increased transparency of the tissues. After GFYM infection the photosynthetical CO2-fixation decreased strinkingly, independently of the strength of leaf symptoms. It is supposed that the destruction of the chlorophyll-protein-complexe caused by the virus infection asserts an inhibiting effect on the photosynthetic activity.

description: En dépit d'une dissension dans la documentation scientifique sur l'état de l'engagement social, certains auteurs avancent la thèse selon laquelle les individus seraient de moins en moins engagés socialement. Plusieurs recherches se concentrent sur les conséquences de cette diminution de l'engagement social, mais peu d'analyses portent sur les conditions qui influencent à la baisse la pratique des différentes formes d'engagement social. Ainsi, notre recherche analyse les tendances de l'engagement social à l'aide du concept de participation sociale. Ce concept défini par Gaudet (2007) propose d'utiliser les emplois du temps afin d'étudier la participation sociale. Nous analyserons donc la participation sociale sous l'angle de certaines caractéristiques de l'institution de la famille contemporaine à partir des données de l'Enquête sociale générale (1998 et 2005) sur l'emploi du temps. Notre question de recherche est la suivante: est-ce que certaines caractéristiques de la famille contemporaine peuvent influencer l'évolution du taux général de participation sociale de la société canadienne? Avec l'aide des analyses faites à partir de notre indicateur de la participation sociale basé sur l'emploi du temps, nos résultats indiquent une diminution importante du taux général de la participation sociale de la société canadienne (diminution de 4,3 points de pourcentage en sept ans) qui peut être expliquée entre autres par le déclin du taux de participation sociale des Canadiennes âgées de 25 à 49 ans vivant avec des enfants dépendants. De plus, nos analyses révèlent deux tendances importantes: (1) la présence d'enfant n'est plus susceptible de favoriser la participation sociale en 2005 contrairement à 1998; (2) la présence d'un enfant dépendant âgé de cinq à onze ans est un facteur qui est maintenant associé à une baisse la participation sociale.

description: The high incidence of obesity and obesity related diseases have been well-documented within First Nations communities across Canada. Therefore, examining current dietary choices and then altering and managing alternative healthier choices are essential in the treatment of obesity and its related diseases. The present article describes a dietary study looking specifically at the dietary choices of women living in a First Nation's community in northwestern Ontario. An ethnography was conducted over a three-week period in which the researcher attended community events and interviewed twenty six women. Experiences in women's lives led them on different life courses. Family involvement and age of women influenced transmission of informal knowledge and feelings of self worth. These and other factors influenced the life course and the resultant "dietary trajectory" from which women made choice. Considering individuals in changing social, cultural and historical climates deemed the life course perspective applicable in this study. Findings suggest that solutions to the "health epidemic" can be found by looking to the women in the community who are making nutritious choices. From this point, formal and informal programs that facilitate reintroduction of traditional knowledge into lives of younger community members can be developed.
Macropore flow and soil hydraulic properties as affected by manurebiosolids injector implements under variable soil physical conditions

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Geology.
subject: Agriculture, Soil Science.

description: The aim of this study was to investigate, at various soil water contents, the tillage effects of two different types of injectors on soil hydraulic properties of a loamy clay soil located in Winchester, Ontario, Canada. The two injectors considered are the AerWay SSD (A) and the Kongskilde Vibro-Flex (K). The soil-properties changes associated with the injectors were assessed at ten different soil water contents for both injectors. The first part of this research involves the evaluation of field saturated hydraulic conductivity (Kfs), matrix flux potential (&phis;m), bulk density (rhob) and volumetric water content (theta) for undisturbed soil (U) and for soil disturbed by injector (D). The field saturated hydraulic conductivities measured on disturbed soil for the Kongskilde (DK) were in 80% of the cases lower than those measured on undisturbed soil (UK). In contrast, Kfs measured on disturbed soil for the AerWay (DA) were higher in 90% of the cases. These results indicate that the Kongskilde reduces the infiltration capacity of the soil, which may be the result of reduced effective porosity via the smearing of the soil surface. They also indicate that the AerWay is facilitating infiltration, most likely by fracturing the soil surface. The second part of this study involves a dye tracer experiment conducted on disturbed soil to evaluate the movement pathways of water through soil. In contrast to the AerWay, no relation could be established between liquid transport variables and the water content at which the Kongskilde was run. Greatest depths of penetration observed for the AerWay treatment occurred at run average water contents above 29.7 % vol. and below 19.7 % vol. Sorptive capacity of the upper layers was maximized when soil water contents were between 21.7 % vol. and 31.3 % vol.

This means additional work for new personnel and hinders positive developments in the field of RDM. Therefore, better networking of data stewards within and across institutions must be realised. Our poster will focus on how these barriers can be overcome. We understand RDM as a reciprocal multilevel model as it is presented here.
Personalized and artificial intelligence Web caching and prefetching

Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence.

description: Web caching and prefetching are the most popular and widely used solutions to remedy Internet performance problems. Performance is increased if a combination of caching and prefetching systems is used rather than if these techniques are used individually. Web caching reduces the bandwidth consumption and network latency by serving the user's request from its own cache instead of the original Internet source. Prefetching is a technique that preloads and caches the web object that is not currently requested by the user but can be requested (expected) in the near future. It provides low retrieval latency for users and as well as high hit ratios. Existing methods for caching and prefetching are mostly traditional sharable Proxy cache servers. In our personalized caching and prefetching approach, the system builds up a user profile associated with a user's web behaviour by parsing the keywords from HTML pages that are browsed by the user. The keywords of a user profile are updated by adding a new keyword or incrementing its associated weight if it is already, in the profile. This user profile reflects users' web behaviour or interest. In this cache and prefetch prediction module we considered both static and dynamic users' web behaviour. We have designed and implemented an artificial intelligence multilayer neural network-based caching and prediction algorithm to personalize the Proteus Proxy server with this mechanism. Enhanced Proteus is a multilingual and internationally-supported Proxy system and can work with both mobile and traditional Proxy server-based sharable environments. In the prefetch option of Proteus, time also implemented a unique content filtering feature that blocks the downloading of unwanted web objects.

description: La présente recherche a pour objectif de retracer l'évolution de la représentation autochtone dans le cinéma documentaire québécois depuis ses débuts, en utilisant pour ce faire l'analyse thématique de contenu. De façon plus spécifique, en comparant deux périodes de l'histoire, (1900-1960 et 1960-2007) ce travail a tenté d'établir que les techniques cinématographiques introduites par le cinéma direct au début des années 60, ont contribué à modifier l'image traditionnelle de l'autochtone telle que véhiculée par le documentaire classique. De plus, nous avons examiné le rôle que jouent les pratiques orales du cinéma (boniment, narration, oralité associée aux techniques du direct) dans cette représentation. Enfin, l'analyse filmique de quatre documents audio-visuels (films) a servi d'outil principal pour démontrer l'influence du cinéma direct sur le traitement du sujet, tant au niveau des techniques utilisées que du courant de pensée associé au cinéma documentaire de cette époque.
Butyl acrylatevinyl acetate emulsion-based pressure sensitive adhesives
Creators: name: Jovanovic, Renata
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are adhesives that bond upon application of light pressure. With applications ranging from everyday home and office supplies to bioelectrodes and spaces shuttle parts, PSAs are among the fastest growing adhesive markets. Emulsion polymerization is increasingly used for the production of PSAs due to its higher environmental compliance as well as other advantages (e.g. lower energy consumption, lower capital costs...) compared to other technologies. However, there is a considerable lack of the integration of different areas of knowledge required for the production of PSAs using this technology. Process conditions (e.g. feed composition, temperature, solids content...) are only one area of interest. These conditions will result in inherent polymer properties (e.g. composition, molecular weight distribution, particle size distribution, gel content...), which govern final product properties (e.g. loop tack, peel and shear strength). Better understanding of each area separately (e.g. process parameters, inherent polymer properties, final product properties) and finally, their integration will lead to the improvement of existing and development of new emulsion-based products and processes. In this work, the above-mentioned three areas of PSA production were investigated for butyl acrylate/vinyl acetate emulsion-based polymers. The objectives were to investigate different variables affecting polymerization process, polymer and adhesive properties. The ultimate objective was to develop empirical models that will incorporate these variables to enable better prediction of the PSA properties. The knowledge gained during building of empirical models could later be used for development of mechanistic ones. In this work a screening design was used first to manipulate eight different process variables in order to generate a wide range of inherent polymer properties and final PSA properties. The properties obtained ranged from good, to moderate and to less desirable. However, the major obstacle in this step was the presence of different modes of failure for the same type of adhesive tests. Under these conditions, modeling was not possible due to the lack of a uniform failure mode in all PSA tests. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: It is difficult to induce protective immunity against most RNA viruses. However, there is strong evidence that humoral and especially cellular immune responses play crucial roles in the control of established RNA viral infections. Thus, an ideal vaccine should be able to induce strong specific antibody titer as well as a robust T-helper and T-cell cytotoxic response. Here, correlates of protective immunity against HIV-1, HCV and SARS-CoV were assessed. Monocistronic and polycistronic DNA constructs containing structural HIV-l, and SARS genes were designed. The structural proteins (HIV- gpl20, gag, pol, HCV-core, E1/E2 and SARS-NC) were also expressed, purified and characterized in mammalian and bacterial cell lines. HLA-A2.1 and B6 mice were immunized with different combinations of DNA constructs, recombinant proteins and novel adjuvants. Humoral responses were measured by titrating of specific antibodies and cell-mediated immune responses were identified by Th1/Th2 cytokine expression, lymphocyte proliferation, intracellular cytokine staining, HLA-peptide dimer assay, and ELISPOT. The first study in HIV-1 showed that a combination of DNA single constructs, protein and adjuvant induce a higher immune response compared to the DNA or/and protein alone. In the second HIV-1 approach, a synergistic effect between HIV/HCV antigens was detected that may lead to induction of multi-specific immune responses against both HIV and HCV. In the third study (SARS project), a high level of specific SARS-CD8+ T-cell response was demonstrated in mice that received DNA encoding the SARS-nucleocapsid, protein and XIAP (X-link inhibitor of apoptosis) as an adjuvant.

Deceptive intentions: Packaging the Cuban Missile Crisis for foreign and domestic consumption

description: Derek Stark's thesis examines the diplomatic history behind the Cuban Missile Crisis. It focuses on how the crisis was packaged and delivered to its various constituents. The crisis was framed differently to the varying members of the administration of the governments involved, the allies of these nations, the members of the United Nations, and the populations of the countries through their media. Information pertaining to the crisis was being manipulated, not only through inaccurate testimonials that came from Washington after the fact, but during the crisis as well, as a conscious effort was being made to influence how the history would be interpreted. The thesis provides a clear-cut case of information-manipulation from the highest levels of the US government. Were President Kennedy's deceptions required to protect his own political position or were they needed for more valid reasons of international strategy? Stark's thesis includes the complex answer to this question.

Bioinformatic evidence for a stem-loop structure 5'-adjacent to the IGR-IRES and for an overlapping gene in the bee paralysis dicistroviruses

description: The family Dicistroviridae (order Picornavirales) includes species that infect insects and other arthropods. These viruses have a linear positive-sense ssRNA genome of ~8-10 kb, which contains two long ORFs. The 5' ORF encodes the nonstructural polyprotein while the 3' ORF encodes the structural polyprotein. The dicistroviruses are noteworthy for the intergenic Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IGR-IRES) that mediates efficient translation initation on the 3' ORF without the requirement for initiator Met-tRNA. Acute bee paralysis virus, Israel acute paralysis virus of bees and Kashmir bee virus form a distinct subgroup within the Dicistroviridae family. In this brief report, we describe the bioinformatic discovery of a new, apparently coding, ORF in these viruses. The ORF overlaps the 5' end of the structural polyprotein coding sequence in the +1 reading frame. We also identify a potential 14-18 bp RNA stem-loop structure 5'-adjacent to the IGR-IRES. We discuss potential translation initiation mechanisms for the novel ORF in the context of the IGR-IRES and 5'-adjacent stem-loop.

description: Background: Medical research to improve health care faces a major problem in the relatively limited availability of adequately annotated and collected biospecimens. This limitation is creating a growing gap between the pace of scientific advances and successful exploitation of this knowledge. Biobanks are an important conduit for transfer of biospecimens (tissues, blood, body fluids) and related health data to research. They have evolved outside of the historical source of tissue biospecimens, clinical pathology archives. Research biobanks have developed advanced standards, protocols, databases, and mechanisms to interface with researchers seeking biospecimens. However, biobanks are often limited in their capacity and ability to ensure quality in the face of increasing demand. Our strategy to enhance both capacity and quality in research biobanking is to create a new framework that repatriates the activity of biospecimen accrual for biobanks to clinical pathology. Methods: The British Columbia (BC) BioLibrary is a framework to maximize the accrual of high-quality, annotated biospecimens into biobanks. The BC BioLibrary design primarily encompasses: 1) specialized biospecimen collection units embedded within clinical pathology and linked to a biospecimen distribution system that serves biobanks; 2) a systematic process to connect potential donors with biobanks, and to connect biobanks with consented biospecimens; and 3) interdisciplinary governance and oversight informed by public opinion. Results: The BC BioLibrary has been embraced by biobanking leaders and translational researchers throughout BC, across multiple health authorities, institutions, and disciplines. An initial pilot network of three Biospecimen Collection Units has been successfully established. In addition, two public deliberation events have been held to obtain input from the public on the BioLibrary and on issues including consent, collection of biospecimens and governance. Conclusion: The BC BioLibrary framework addresses common issues for clinical pathology, biobanking, and translational research across multiple institutions and clinical and research domains. We anticipate that our framework will lead to enhanced biospecimen accrual capacity and quality, reduced competition between biobanks, and a transparent process for donors that enhances public trust in biobanking.

 Rhipidura rufifrons brunnea Mayr, 1931b: 19 (Malaita Island, British Solomon Islands).
 Now Rhipidura rufifrons brunnea Mayr, 1931. See Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 392, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 231.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 226950, adult male, collected on Malaita Island, Solomon Islands, on 22 March 1930, by William F. Coultas, Walter J. Eyerdam, and Hannibal Hamlin on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 39656).
COMMENTS: Mayr cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and gave measurements based on 23 specimens, all from Malaita. Twenty-four specimens were actually accessioned. Paratypes are: AMNH 226948, 226949, and 226951– 226971. Of these, the following were exchanged: AMNH 226952 and 226962 to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History on 6 January 1932, AMNH 226953 and 226969 to the BBM on 21 January 1932, AMNH 226960 to USNM in January 1932, AMNH 226961 to NRM on 12 December 1931, AMNH 226963 to ZMB on 8 January 1932, and AMNH 226966 to ZMB in July 1936.
Coultas and Eyerdam went inland on Malaita from Su’u, 09.10S, 160.55E, and were camped at 2200 ft on Mt. Tarimbusu, ca. 09.10S, 161.05E, on 22 March. Collecting was done to the top of the mountain at ca. 4300 ft (unpublished journal, Vol. V, by William Coultas, AMNH Department of Ornithology Archives). Although Hamlin’s name is printed on the label, he was collecting on Gower Island at this time.
