title: The relationship between oral language skills and emergent literacy skills in Saudi Arabic-speaking children with and without DLD aged 4;0 to 6;11
Creators: name: Alsiddiqi, Zakiyah Ahmed
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2024

description: Although children with developmental language disorder (DLD) are known to have 
difficulties with emergent literacy skills, none of the available Arabic studies have examined 
emergent literacy skills in children with DLD. This is unexpected given that Arabic is the native 
language of approximately over 300 million people in the world. It has been suggested that oral 
language skills contribute significantly to emergent literacy skills in English-speaking children, 
so this study aims to fill this gap in Arabic studies by being the first to examine the associations 
between different oral language and emergent literacy skills in Arabic-speaking children, with 
and without DLD, aged 4;0 to 6;11 (years; months). The study will also investigate the 
relationships between verbal short-term memory (VSTM), socioeconomic status (SES), home 
literacy environment (HLE), and emergent literacy skills, and their impact on Arabic children 
with and without DLD. The aim is to provide additional new insights into relationships between 
oral language, VSTM, and emergent literacy skills in the Arabic language, and contribute to 
the understanding of emergent literacy development in Saudi Arabic-speaking children. 
In terms of methodology, this study administered comprehensive Arabic language, 
VSTM and emergent literacy batteries to a typically developing (TD) group and DLD group 
of children based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Consistent with existing literature, findings 
demonstrated that the TD group significantly outperformed the DLD group on emergent 
literacy measures. Findings also showed significant associations between oral language skills, 
VSTM, and emergent literacy skills in both TD and DLD groups; however, these associations 
were stronger in the DLD group than the TD group. Results also revealed that vocabulary 
knowledge and digit recall were significant predictors for emergent literacy skills in the DLD 
group only. This study represents an important first step in understanding emergent literacy 
skills and their relationships to language in Arabic-speaking children with and without DLD.

description: The generation of realistic spatio-temporal trajectories of human mobility is of fundamental importance in a wide range of applications, such as the developing of protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks or what-if analysis in urban ecosystems. Current generative algorithms fail in accurately reproducing the individuals' recurrent schedules and at the same time in accounting for the possibility that individuals may break the routine during periods of variable duration. In this article we present DITRAS (DIary-based TRAjectory Simulator), a framework to simulate the spatio-temporal patterns of human mobility. DITRAS operates in two steps: the generation of a mobility diary and the translation of the mobility diary into a mobility trajectory. We propose a data-driven algorithm which constructs a diary generator from real data, capturing the tendency of individuals to follow or break their routine. We also propose a trajectory generator based on the concept of preferential exploration and preferential return. We instantiate DITRAS with the proposed diary and trajectory generators and compare the resulting algorithm with real data and synthetic data produced by other generative algorithms, built by instantiating DITRAS with several combinations of diary and trajectory generators. We show that the proposed algorithm reproduces the statistical properties of real trajectories in the most accurate way, making a step forward the understanding of the origin of the spatio-temporal patterns of human mobility.

description: Research software is vital for academia, yet reliable figures are rare. In an attempt to better understand the research software landscape at Utrecht University, we developed a pipeline for analyzing GitHub repositories regarding software FAIRness and other characteristics. Applied to a set of 1521 GitHub repositories, it yielded valuable figures for research software management. For example, high numbers of unlicensed repositories indicate the need for proprietary rights training, and the dominant use of Python motivates language-specific coding support. The pipeline has been designed to be applicable to other sets of GitHub repositories and is ready to be reused. It is available at https://github.com/UtrechtUniversity/SWORDS-UU (MIT license).

description: We have applied DMC to evaluate relative stability of the possible electronic configurations of an isolated FePc under $D_{4h}$ symmetry, considering some fixed nodes generated from different methods. They predict $A_{2g}$ ground state consistently, supporting preceding DFT studies, with confidence overcoming the ambiguity about exchange-correlation (XC) functionals. By comparing DMC with several XC, we clarified the importance of the short range exchange to describe the relative stability. We examined why the predicted $A_{2g}$ is excluded from possible ground states in the recent ligand field based model. Simplified assumptions made in the superposition model are identified to give unreasonably less energy gain for $A_{2g}$ when compared with the reality. The state is found to have possible reasons for the stabilization, reducing the occupations from an unstable anti-bonding orbital, avoiding double occupation of a spatially localized orbital, and gaining exchange energy by putting a triplet spin pair in degenerate orbitals.

description: Diffusion-limited erosion is a distinct universality class of fluctuating interfaces. Although its dynamical exponent $z=1$, none of the known variants of conformal invariance can act as its dynamical symmetry. In $d=1$ spatial dimensions, its infinite-dimensional dynamic symmetry is constructed and shown to be isomorphic to the direct sum of three loop-Virasoro algebras, with the maximal finite-dimensional sub-algebra $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})\oplus\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})\oplus\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$. The infinitesimal generators are spatially non-local and use the Riesz-Feller fractional derivative. Co-variant two-time response functions are derived and reproduce the exact solution of diffusion-limited erosion. The relationship with the terrace-step-kind model of vicinal surfaces and the integrable XXZ chain are discussed.

Masses of Open-Flavour Heavy-Light Hybrids from QCD Sum-Rules

description: We use QCD Laplace sum-rules to predict masses of open-flavour heavy-light hybrids where one of the hybrid's constituent quarks is a charm or bottom and the other is an up, down, or strange. We compute leading-order, diagonal correlation functions of several hybrid interpolating currents, taking into account QCD condensates up to dimension-six, and extract hybrid mass predictions for all $J^P\in\{0^{\pm},\,1^{\pm}\}$, as well as explore possible mixing effects with conventional quark-antiquark mesons. Within theoretical uncertainties, our results are consistent with a degeneracy between the heavy-nonstrange and heavy-strange hybrids in all $J^P$ channels. We find a similar mass hierarchy of $1^+$, $1^{-}$, and $0^+$ states (a $1^{+}$ state lighter than essentially degenerate $1^{-}$ and $0^{+}$ states) in both the charm and bottom sectors, and discuss an interpretation for the $0^-$ states. If conventional meson mixing is present the effect is an increase in the hybrid mass prediction, and we estimate an upper bound on this effect.

description: Earth Observation data, especially spaceborne ones, contribute significantly in the study, analysis and preservation of wetland ecosystems by providing continuous monitoring of the fluctuation of open surface water bodies’ extent. This supports a more accurate estimation of the hydrological cycle through time. Various methodologies have been introduced relying on satellite multispectral and radar imagery. Main requirement is the performance stability across habitats and areas. Thus, the applicability of the approach to further sites than the one, where the methodologies have been developed, is of high importance. In this context, this study aims to investigate the adaptability of the workflows developed in H2020 ECOPOTENTIAL project, namely WaterMasks [1: doi.org/10.3390/rs10060910 & 2: doi.org/10.3390/rs11192251] and Hydroperiod, in Giaretta wetland, which comprises the Italian pilot area of the H2020 WQeMS project.

Clustering-Based Relational Unsupervised Representation Learning with an Explicit Distributed Representation

Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (stat.ML)

description: The goal of unsupervised representation learning is to extract a new representation of data, such that solving many different tasks becomes easier. Existing methods typically focus on vectorized data and offer little support for relational data, which additionally describe relationships among instances. In this work we introduce an approach for relational unsupervised representation learning. Viewing a relational dataset as a hypergraph, new features are obtained by clustering vertices and hyperedges. To find a representation suited for many relational learning tasks, a wide range of similarities between relational objects is considered, e.g. feature and structural similarities. We experimentally evaluate the proposed approach and show that models learned on such latent representations perform better, have lower complexity, and outperform the existing approaches on classification tasks.

description: In a pilot project called The DNA-Dialogues online discussion boards of popular magazines featured as sites for public dialogue on genomics-related issues. As organizers and mediators of those online discussions, we experienced problems that have hardly been attended to by dialogue practitioners nor by social scientists who study and criticize public engagement activities. We illustrate those problems with examples from an online discussion on the storage and use of neonatal screening blood. We draw two lessons. First, practitioners as well as analysts tend to consider dialogues as public engagement activities, whereas we learned that the engagement of experts is just as difficult and equally crucial. Second, the role played by organizers and moderators of dialogue events is often left implicit, whereas we actively contributed to framing the issue at stake in the discussion. As an alternative for the notion of dialogue as a form of public engagement, we propose to do dialogue as a form of interventionist social science research. We instigate an outline of what such interventionist dialogue research would involve, and argue that it requires an integration of the roles of dialogue practioner and critical analyst.

Concluding remarks.
description: Lithuania, Latvia, and Poland have amended their legislation to respond to the increased migration flows caused by the policies of instrumentalisation of migrants implemented by the Belarusian government. This Insight illustrates these responses and shows how these EU Member States instrumentalised border tensions with Belarus to adopt restrictive migration policies impacting the rights of people on the move. Such legislative changes follow a paradigm shift at the EU level, in light of which third country nationals who are subject to instrumentalisation are qualified as hybrid threats. As a consequence, EU migration management policies legitimise national restrictive border control measures into the EU legal framework, to prevent the entry of foreign persons into the EU territory. Such a policy approach confirms a chronic inability of the EU to respond effectively and uniformly to mass migration movements, thus driving hostile third States to perpetrate hybrid attacks, such as instrumentalisation of migration practices, to gain political or economic advantages over the EU and its Member States. This Insight argues that EU migration and asylum policies must conform to the highest standards of fundamental rights protection to avert future hybrid attacks in the form of mi-gration instrumentalisation practices. Furthermore, the EU should abandon a securitization rationale that equates people on the move as security threats, thus legitimizing their dehumanisation and dis-regarding their rights.

description: Temperature-dependent (5 K to 300 K) Raman scattering study of A$_{1g}$/A'$_1$ phonon modes in mono-layer (1L), bilayer (2L), trilayer (3L), and tetralayer (4L) MoTe$_2$ is reported. The temperature evolution of the modes' intensity critically depends on the flake thickness. In particular with $λ$=632.8 nm light excitation, a strongly non-monotonic dependence of the A$_{1g}$ mode intensity is observed in 2L MoTe$_2$. The intensity decreases with decreasing temperature down to 220 K and the A$_{1g}$ mode almost completely vanishes from the Stokes scattering spectrum in the temperature range between 160 K and 220 K. The peak recovers at lower temperatures and at T=5 K it becomes three times more intense that at room temperature. Similar non-monotonic intensity evolution is observed for the out-of-plane mode in 3L MoTe$_2$ in which tellurium atoms in all three layers vibrate in-phase. The intensity of the other out-of-plane Raman-active mode, (with vibrations of tellurium atoms in the central layer shifted by 180$^o$ with respect to the vibrations in outer layers), only weakly depends on temperature. The observed quenching of the Raman scattering in 2L and 3L MoTe$_2$ is attributed to a destructive interference between the resonant and non-resonant contributions to the Raman scattering amplitude. The observed "antiresonance" is related to the electronic excitation at the M point of the Brillouin zone in few-layer MoTe$_2$.

description: In this work two novel mechanisms of optical harmonic generation in semiconductors are presented and analysed on the basis of symmetry restrictions and the specific electronic structures. The first mechanism is observed in the hexagonal semiconductor ZnO. Since its valence and conduction band have different parity, electric-dipole second harmonic generation (SHG) processes are symmetry forbidden for light incidence perpendicular to the c-plane. Nevertheless, the nonlinear spectroscopy of ZnO reveals narrow peaks in the spectral range from 3.4 to 3.5 eV, which are induced by an external magnetic field. Microscopic model calculations establish the magneto-optical Stark effect as the main mechanism for the detected SHG involving 2S and 2P exciton states. The effect results from the center-of-mass motion of excitons in the magnetic field. This motion leads to a perturbation equivalent of an electric field and causes an admixture of states with different parities. The second mechanism is found in europium chalcogenides magnetic semiconductors. EuTe and EuSe are investigated by the spectroscopy of second harmonic generation and third harmonic generation (THG) in the vicinity of the optical band gap formed by transitions involving the 4f and 5d electronic orbitals of the magnetic Eu2+ ions. In these materials with a centrosymmetric crystal lattice, the electric-dipole SHG process is symmetry forbidden so that no signal is observed in zero magnetic field. Signal appears, however, in applied magnetic fields with the SHG intensity being proportional to the square of magnetization. The magnetic field and temperature dependencies of the induced SHG allow us to introduce a novel type of nonlinear optical susceptibility determined by the magnetic-dipole contribution in combination with a spontaneous or induced magnetization. The experimental results can be described qualitatively by a phenomenological model based on a symmetry analysis and are in good quantitative agreement with microscopic model calculations accounting for details of the electronic energy and spin structure. Contrary to the SHG, electric dipole THG contributions are allowed for centrosymmetric materials. Consequently, a crystallographic third harmonic generation signal, showing different resonances, is found in europium chalcogenides over wide spectral ranges. In an external magnetic field a resonant induced magnetic contribution appears additively. Enhanced by a double resonance of the electric dipole THG process, the detected signal is of higher magnitude than the spin induced SHG signal.

description: It is generally believed that calprotectin acts via exclusion of extracellular zinc, and/or binding of calprotectin to a cell membrane receptor, and consequently, activation of a signaling pathway for apoptosis. Recently, we suggested that calprotectin may have an “internal target” within cells. Here, using target theory, we provided evidence that this internal target is DNA. Trypan blue (TB) and dimythylthiazol diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays were used to estimate survival of calprotectin-treated cells. TB assay relies on the viability of cell membrane, while MTT assay relies on the functionality of mitochondria. We demonstrated that MTT-based survival values fit to the “single-hit, single-target” model, while TB-based survival values are best matched to the “single-hit, multi-target” model with N=2. Assumption of DNA as the target of calprotectin is fully consistent with the models, since each mitochondrion contains one chromosome and each “cell” is diploid and contains two chromosome sets. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report that suggests mitochondrial DNA is affected during calprotectin-induced cell death. Furthermore, our results explain why toxicity measures (like LD50), when estimated based on TB assay, are sometimes significantly greater than toxicity measures based on MTT assay.

description: The main ethical principle in prenatal testing is the autonomous decision of the pregnant woman concerned. However, recent developments in prenatal testing undermine this model. The overall number of invasive prenatal examinations has dropped significantly. Yet, the amount of pathologic results has increased. Due to the improvement in ultrasound diagnostics the predictability of possible disabilities or diseases of the unborn child has increased substantially. As a result of this pregnant women can take the decision whether or not to undergo invasive prenatal examinations on the basis of personal risk "evidence" produced earlier on by means of non-invasive screening. It can be questioned, how autonomous decisions can be if they are increasingly pre-informed through upstream riskassessments on the basis of non-invasive screening. Particularly ultrasound screening is often carried out without thorough counselling and sometimes even without consent. The concept of autonomy is difficult to uphold if women do not deliberately decide whether to undergo non-invasive screening, but the moment of such a deliberate decision comes only after positive screening results. Taking into account that public discourses have rather focused on other aspects of genetic or reproductive technologies such as stem cell research or pre-implantation diagnosis it is important to analyse how technological innovations transform medical practices without a re-articulation on a discursive level as I will try to show in this paper for the case of prenatal testing.

description: Der vorliegende Bericht stellt die Ergebnisse des Projekts 538 "Clouds -- Peerbasiertes On-Demand Computing" vor, das am Institut für Roboterforschung der Technischen Universität Dortmund im Sommersemester 2009 und Wintersemester 2009/2010 stattfand. Mit dem Beginn der Projektgruppenarbeiten im April 2009 wurden durch Vorträge während einer Seminarfahrt die grundlegenden Kenntnisse im Bereich der Softwareentwicklung und spezielle Kenntnisse für das Projektziel, hinsichtlich des aktuellen Stands der Technik im Bereich der Delokalisierung computerbasierter Datenhaltung und Verarbeitung und deren Hochverfügbarkeit gescha en. Neben der Homogenisierung des Wissenstandes der Projektgruppenteilnehmer durch diese Vorträge konnten auch erste Vorstellungen bezüglich der späteren Realisierung der Projektgruppenziels gewonnen werden. Die Gliederung der Kapitel des folgenden Endberichts folgt überwiegend dem klassischen Life-Cycle für Softwareentwicklung, der sich in der Reihenfolge in die Anforderungsanalyse, Entwurfs-, Modellierungs- und Implementierungsphase chronologisch subsumieren lässt. Durch die kritische Diskussion und spätere Qualitätssicherung mit Hilfe von Softwaretests konnte die Chronologie der genannten Phasen nicht immer eingehalten werden. Beispielsweise erforderten Schwächen der ersten Entwurfsergebnisse während der folgenden Modellierungsphase die Rückkehr zur Entwurfsphase. Um die Lesbarkeit dieser Abhandlung zu wahren wird die beschriebene Reihenfolge der Entwicklungsphasen strikt eingehalten. Innerhalb der Kapitel werden jedoch die unterschiedlichen Modelle und Technologieentscheidungen denen sich die Projektgruppe gegenüber sah ergebnisorientiert diskutiert.

description: We extend the notion of anticoherent spin states to anticoherent subspaces. An anticoherent subspace of order t, is a subspace whose unit vectors are all anticoherent states of order t. We use Klein's description of algebras of polynomials which are invariant under finite subgroups of SU(2) to provide constructions of anticoherent subspaces. Furthermore, we show a connection between the existence of these subspaces and the properties of the higher-rank numerical range for a set of spin observables. We also note that these constructions give us subspaces of spin states all of whose unit vectors have Majorana representations which are spherical designs of order at least t.
