Graduate Instructor and Teaching Assistant Response to Student Personal Crises
Creators: name: Chesaniuk, Marie
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Introduction More students with more severe mental health conditions are entering college, putting ever greater pressure on university resources to meet the needs, both psychological and educational, of these students. Graduate student instructors and TAs (TAs) are uniquely positioned to connect these students to supportive resources, but may be underprepared and have attitudinal barriers to addressing student mental health concerns. The goal of this study was to examine TA attitudes, knowledge, and self-efficacy for addressing student mental health concerns and offer suggestions for potential TA training targets. Methods Vignettes of three levels of student conflicts with an exam were piloted on a sample of former TAs. Results from this pilot were used to select a final set of three vignettes to use in the main study. In the main study, current TAs freely responded to “emails” depicting three levels of student exam conflicts (control, transient, and chronic) as well as survey items measuring mental health knowledge, attitudes, gatekeeping self-efficacy, job and TA characteristics. Qualitative methods were used to generate themes regarding referral and accommodation of students as well as to identify organizational and emergent themes regarding how TAs address student mental health concerns. Quantitative methods were used to examine how TA individual characteristics relate to TA cognitions and gatekeeping behavior as well as potential moderating effects of situation and department context. Results Three vignettes were finalized using pilot data. This study provided an in-depth description of TAs, their training, and their experiences responding to student MH problems. It further provided partial support for the conceptual model and identified potential training gaps. Conclusion This study used a mixed methods approach to provide a revised conceptual model of TA behavior. A combination of TA personal characteristics, mental health knowledge, and context are associated with TAs’ referral and accommodation behaviors, which vary in degree of appropriateness. Recommendations based on this model include filling gaps in TA training focusing on professional development, student mental health, and ethics training tailored to the unique challenges of graduate student instructors.

description: Developing predictive modelling solutions for risk estimation is extremely challenging in health-care informatics. Risk estimation involves integration of heterogeneous clinical sources having different representation from different health-care provider making the task increasingly complex. Such sources are typically voluminous, diverse, and significantly change over the time. Therefore, distributed and parallel computing tools collectively termed big data tools are in need which can synthesize and assist the physician to make right clinical decisions. In this work we propose multi-model predictive architecture, a novel approach for combining the predictive ability of multiple models for better prediction accuracy. We demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed work on data from Framingham Heart study. Results show that the proposed multi-model predictive architecture is able to provide better accuracy than best model approach. By modelling the error of predictive models we are able to choose sub set of models which yields accurate results. More information was modelled into system by multi-level mining which has resulted in enhanced predictive accuracy.

Moving Towards Mastery: Learning Dashboards and Persistence in Digital Courseware
Creators: name: Oxman, Steven
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: The vast amount of data collected during online learning offers opportunities to advance newer interventions that might aid learning. One such intervention has been learning analytics dashboards, visualizations designed to translate learning-related data into usable information. However, many student-facing dashboards compare learners’ performance against their peers rather than against task mastery. This study examined the relationship between learners’ perceptions of progress feedback from mastery-oriented learning dashboards and their likelihood to persist in an online homework activity. 77 undergraduate nursing students answered surveys before and after a learning activity in one of three digital adaptive systems, each of which had its own embedded dashboard. Hierarchical linear regression analysis indicated that perceptions of dashboard feedback explained 19% of the variance in learners’ expressed likelihood to persist, after taking into account achievement orientation, differences in the online systems, and perceptions of non-dashboard feedback. The results of the study suggest that mastery-oriented learning dashboards show promise as a potential motivational aid to learners.

description: We present a numerical solver for plasma dynamics simulations in Hall magnetohydrodynamic (HMHD) approximation in one, two and three dimensions. We consider both isotropic and anisotropic thermal pressure cases, where a general gyrotropic approximation is used. Both explicit energy conservation equation and general polytropic state equations are considered. The numerical scheme incorporates second-order Runge-Kutta advancing in time and Kurganov-Tadmor scheme with van Leer flux limiter for the approximation of fluxes. A flux-interpolated constrained-transport approach is used to preserve solenoidal magnetic field in the simulations. The implemented code is validated using several test problems previously described in the literature. Additionally, we propose a new validation method for HMHD codes based on solitary waves that provides a possibility of quantitative rigorous testing in nonlinear (large amplitude) regime as an extension to standard tests using small-amplitude whistler waves. Quantitative tests of accuracy and performance of the implemented code show the fidelity of the proposed approach.

Bias in Forensic Science

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Bias has been a subject of concern in forensic science for the past few decades. Bias is a psychological phenomenon in which irrelevant factors influence someone’s perception, memory, interpretation, or conclusions. Like with other scientific fields, there is concern that bias may affect the work of forensic scientists and therefore make forensic work less reliable. Part of this concern is due to the potential for bias to skew a forensic scientist’s conclusions away from the ground truth of the case. Another part is that a forensic scientist should form their conclusions based only on the evidence they are tasked with analyzing and information relevant to its analysis. While there has been some resistance from within the forensic science field to the idea that forensic scientists can be biased, some cases and forensic scientists have demonstrated how irrelevant factors can influence forensic scientists during their analysis. For example, in the Brandon Mayfield case, bias led to FBI fingerprint analysts working backwards in their comparisons from Mayfield’s reference fingerprints to evidence fingerprints and falsely identifying evidence fingerprints from the Madrid bombing case as coming from Mayfield. Studies, some of which will be discussed in this thesis, have demonstrated bias impacting not just fingerprint analysis but also evidence collection at the crime scene, forensic anthropology, DNA analysis, toxicology, forensic pathology, forensic psychiatry, digital forensics, and other domains. Psychological research indicates that bias arises from how the human brain functions. However, researchers have also suggested ways to potentially reduce the impact of bias on forensic science work, which largely focus on restricting the case information available to forensic scientists working on the case, such as blinding procedures, linear sequential unmasking, the use of case managers, and evidence lineups. Further research will be important going forward to better understand how bias affects forensic science and how to combat it. Bias will have the potential to impact the analysis of evidence as long as human beings are involved in that analysis, but research from forensic scientists and psychologists can help establish methods of minimizing the effects of bias and improve the reliability of forensic science.

description: We investigated 1234 fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars observed by the All Sky Automated Survey (ASAS) to identify the Blazhko (BL) effect. A sample of 1547 BL stars from the literature was collected to compare the modulation-period distribution with stars newly identified in our sample. A classical frequency spectra analysis was performed using Period04 software. Data points from each star from the ASAS database were analysed individually to avoid confusion with artificial peaks and aliases. Statistical methods were used in the investigation of the modulation-period distribution. Altogether we identified 87 BL stars (48 new detections), 7 candidate stars, and 22 stars showing long-term period variations. The distribution of modulation periods of newly identified BL stars corresponds well to the distribution of modulation periods of stars located in the Galactic field, Galactic bulge, Large Magellanic Cloud, and globular cluster M5 collected from the literature. As a very important by-product of this comparison, we found that pulsation periods of BL stars follow Gaussian distribution with the mean period of $0.54\pm0.07$ d, while the modulation periods show log-normal distribution with centre at $\log(P_{\rm m}~{\rm [d]})=1.78\pm0.30$ dex. This means that 99.7 % of all known modulated stars have BL periods between 7.6 and 478 days. We discuss the identification of long modulation periods and show, that a significant percentage of stars showing long-term period variations could be classified as BL stars.

description: We present 3.7 arcsec (~0.05 pc) resolution 3.2 mm dust continuum observations from the IRAM PdBI, with the aim of studying the structure and fragmentation of the filamentary Infrared Dark Cloud G035.39-00.33. The continuum emission is segmented into a series of 13 quasi-regularly spaced (~0.18pc) cores, following the major axis of the IRDC. We compare the spatial distribution of the cores with that predicted by theoretical work describing the fragmentation of hydrodynamic fluid cylinders, finding a significant (a factor of ~8) discrepancy between the two. Our observations are consistent with the picture emerging from kinematic studies of molecular clouds suggesting that the cores are harboured within a complex network of independent sub-filaments. This result emphasizes the importance of considering the underlying physical structure, and potentially, dynamically important magnetic fields, in any fragmentation analysis. The identified cores exhibit a range in (peak) beam-averaged column density ($3.6{\rm x}10^{23}{\rm cm}^{-2}

Year: 2023

description: In dieser Bachelorarbeit befasst sich der Autor Michael Hausherr mit dem Thema Soziokulturelle Animation und das dritte Lebensalter - Herausforderungen im Übergang von der Erwerbstätigkeit in den Ruhestand. Dabei werden folgende Fragen behandelt: Wie zeigt sich das dritte Lebensalter und welche Herausforderungen entstehen für Personen welche aus dem Berufsleben in die Pensionierung übergehen? Welche Rolle spielt die Soziokulturelle Animation in diesem Lebensabschnitt, welche Erkenntnisse und Massnahmen sind für den professionellen Umgang mit Pensionierten herzuleiten? Wie kann die Zusammenarbeit der Beteiligten gefördert werden? Die Beantwortung dieser Fragen erfolgte durch eine intensive Literaturrecherche. Die durchschnittliche Lebenserwartung wird immer höher. Diese Entwicklung bringt jedoch nicht nur positive Eigenschaften mit sich. Die individuelle Auseinandersetzung mit dem älter werden ist eine wichtige Komponente um die kommenden Herausforderungen zu eruieren. Der Übergang von der Erwerbstätigkeit in den Ruhestand zeigt sich dabei als besonders intensiv. Das soziale System verändern sich, neue Strukturen werden gebildet und Ressourcen werden freigelegt. Studien zeigen eine hohe Bereitschaft von Personen im dritten Lebensalter ihre Ressourcen zur Verfügung zu stellen und doch reizen nicht alle ihr Potential aus. Die Soziokulturelle Animation befasst sich schon einige Zeit mit Fragestellungen rund um die Aktivierung im Alter und ist sich dem Potenzial der Personen im dritten Lebensalter bewusst. Durch umfangreiche Analysen und Projekte wird zudem der politische Diskurs im Umgang mit dem Thema angeregt, wodurch die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit immer grössere Anerkennung erfährt.

description: Colloidal Quantum dots (CQDs) are nowadays one of the cornerstones of modern photonics as they have led to the emergence of new optoelectronic and biomedical technologies. However, the full characterization of these quantum emitters is currently restricted to the visible wavelengths and it remains a key challenge to optically probe single CQDs operating in the infrared spectral domain which is targeted by a growing number of applications. Here, we report the first experimental detection and imaging at room temperature of single infrared CQDs operating at telecommunication wavelengths. Imaging was done with a doubly resonant bowtie nano-aperture antenna (BNA) written at the end of a fiber nanoprobe, whose resonances spectrally fit the CQD absorption and emission wavelengths. Direct near-field characterization of PbS CQDs reveal individual nanocrystals with a spatial resolution of 75 nm (lambda/20) together with their intrinsic 2D dipolar free-space emission properties and exciton dynamics (blinking phenomenon). Because the doubly resonant BNA is strongly transmissive at both the CQD absorption and emission wavelengths, we are able to perform all-fiber nano-imaging with a standard 20 % efficiency InGaAs avalanche photodiode (APD). Detection efficiency is predicted to be 3000 fold larger than with a conventional circular aperture tip of the same transmission area. Double resonance BNA fiber probes thus offer the possibility of exploring extreme light-matter interaction in low band gap CQDs with current plug-and-play detection techniques, opening up new avenues in the fields of infrared light emitting devices, photodetectors, telecommunications, bio-imaging and quantum information technology.

Facilitators and Barriers to Providing Orthodontic Care for Patients with Craniofacial Anomalies
Creators: name: Rozgony, Alexandria Lauren
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Hypothesis and Objective: The objective of the study was to conduct a survey of orthodontists in private practices in the state of Illinois to identify facilitators and barriers to rendering orthodontic care to those with craniofacial anomalies as well as reveal communication gaps between private practice practitioners and cleft/craniofacial teams. We hypothesized that practice characteristics and practitioner’s affiliation with a cleft/craniofacial team were associated with facilitators and barriers to providing orthodontic care for those with cleft/craniofacial anomalies. Methods: A 19-item questionnaire was developed to capture information on the facilitators and barriers to orthodontic care. The survey was administered electronically via Qualtrics Survey Software to active orthodontists practicing in the state of Illinois through AAO Partners in Research Program and the Illinois Orthodontics Alumni Association. The associations between various practice characteristics and facilitators/barriers to providing orthodontic care were examined by descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution (%), cross tabulations and exact Chi-square tests. A qualitative content analyses of the open-ended responses was also conducted. Results: The response rate was 23% (57 valid and complete responses out of 249 person sample size). 64.9% of respondents have experience in providing craniofacial orthodontic care. 45% of respondents currently provide orthodontic care to these patients. Most respondents (94.7%) are not formally affiliated with a craniofacial team. 3 respondents (5%) were formally affiliated with a team. Facilitators included wanting to help, personal connection/experience, past exposure, and community engagement. Barriers include proximity to cleft/craniofacial team, lack of experience, lack of training, insurance issues, and financial implications. There was a significant association between experience with providing craniofacial orthodontic care and the length of time practicing the orthodontic specialty (p=0.005), as well as more experienced practitioners currently treat craniofacial patients (p<0.001). Conclusions: The facilitators and barriers shed light on the decreased access to orthodontic care for craniofacial patients. Training and experience have a strong influence on a practitioner’s willingness, preparedness, and confidence to provide care for these patients. The more experienced a practitioner is, the more likely they are to feel comfortable treating cleft/craniofacial patients. IRB and/or ACC Protocol #: 2020-0596

description: The gene sequencing data, along with the associated lineage tracing and research data generated throughout the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, constitute invaluable resources that profoundly empower phylogeography research. To optimize the utilization of these resources, we have developed an interactive analysis platform called aPhyloGeo-Covid, leveraging the capabilities of Neo4j, Snakemake, and Python. This platform enables researchers to explore and visualize diverse data sources specifically relevant to SARS-CoV-2 for phylogeographic analysis. The integrated Neo4j database acts as a comprehensive repository, consolidating COVID-19 pandemic-related sequences information, climate data, and demographic data obtained from public databases, facilitating efficient filtering and organization of input data for phylogeographical studies. Presently, the database encompasses over 113,774 nodes and 194,381 relationships. Additionally, aPhyloGeo-Covid provides a scalable and reproducible phylogeographic workflow for investigating the intricate relationship between geographic features and the patterns of variation in diverse SARS-CoV-2 variants. The code repository of platform is publicly accessible on GitHub (https://github.com/tahiri-lab/iPhyloGeo/tree/iPhylooGeo-neo4j), providing researchers with a valuable tool to analyze and explore the intricate dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 within a phylogeographic context.

description: This paper presents an adaptive Distribution System State Estimation (DSSE) which relies on a Cloud-based IoT paradigm. The methodology is adaptive in terms of the rate of execution of the estimation process which varies depending on the indications of the distributed measurement system. The system is composed, in particular, of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs). PMUs are virtualized with respect to the physical devices and the corresponding virtualizing modules run in the communication network edge (i.e. closer to the physical objects). PMUs are set at a higher measurement rate, while the estimation process works at a given slower rate, for example once per second, in normal operative conditions. A local decision algorithm implemented in the virtualized module, monitors the measured quantities in order to detect and address possible unexpected dynamics. In particular, different metrics can be applied: the variations and the trend of variation of the rms voltage values, but also the Rate Of Change Of Frequency (ROCOF) of the monitored signals can be used to trigger rate variation in the DSSE.In case dynamics are detected, the measurement data is sent to the DSSE at higher rates and the estimation process runs consequently on a finer time scale. In the considered system only application level entities are located in the Cloud, thus allowing to obtain a bandwidth-efficient and smart data transmission. The results obtained on a 13-bus systems prove the goodness of the proposed methodologies.

description: Hypothesis and Objective: The aim of this study was to conduct a descriptive and exploratory analysis of orthodontists’ attitudes regarding their role in HPV prevention, including patient education and vaccine administration. We hypothesized that orthodontists and their practice characteristics are associated with their attitudes towards HPV vaccine administration. Methods: An electronic questionnaire was administered to orthodontists in the United States via the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) Partners in Research Program. The questionnaire captured information regarding subjects’ practice characteristics, comfort level with various forms of HPV prevention, and perceived facilitators and barriers to HPV vaccination administration by orthodontists. Descriptive statistics and distribution of frequency values were calculated. Pearson’s chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were used to access the relationship between predictive and outcome variables. Results: 100 respondents completed and returned the survey. 86.6% of respondents indicated multiple concerns providing the HPV vaccine in their office, including: storage of the vaccine (72.2%), managing side effects of the vaccine (71.1%), and reporting vaccination/documentation of vaccinations (63.9%). Only 13.4% of respondents reported being comfortable administering the vaccine. A majority of respondents reported that a continuing education course would make them more comfortable administering the vaccine (49.4%). Conclusions: A majority of orthodontists do not feel comfortable with HPV prevention through education or vaccine administration. The identified barriers and facilitators emphasize the need for increased resources on HPV and HPV vaccination available to orthodontists.

description: An ontology of Leibnizian relationalism, consisting in distance relations among sparse matter points and their change only, is well recognized as a serious option in the context of classical mechanics. In this paper, we investigate how this ontology fares when it comes to general relativistic physics. Using a Humean strategy, we regard the gravitational field as a means to represent the overall change in the distance relations among point particles in a way that achieves the best combination of being simple and being informative.

description:
Iron oxide-apatite (IOA) deposits are known to be closely associated with silicate igneous rocks. However, a recent study in the Oulad Dlim massif (South Morocco) revealed the first occurrence of massive IOA deposits hosted by Paleoproterozoic dolomite carbonatite in the Gleibat Lafhouda area. In addition, significant REE-Nb-Ta enrichments seem to be unique to this IOA occurrence. Preliminary results have indicated an exploration tonnage target of ~49 million tons with mean compositions at 0.4% Nb2O5, 265 ppm Ta2O5, 508 ppm U3O8, 0.2% REE, and 35% Fe2O3. Columbite-(Fe) is the main Nb-mineral and occurs closely associated with Fe-phases, whereas microlite and Ta-rich pyrochlore are mainly associated with coarse-grained apatites hosted by Fe-oxides and silica breccia. Significant REE contents are hosted by monazite-(Ce), which is usually associated with large apatite crystals. The processes leading to this mineralization with direct links to carbonatite are still poorly understood. However, geochemical characteristics and textural relationship suggest that they are genetically linked to the carbonatite and intensively remobilized by late hydrothermal fluids at multiple stages. This study aims to provide new mineralogical and geochemical insights on the petrogenesis of the IOAs and their associated ore mineralization. Understanding new occurrence types of the IOAs will significantly advance our understanding of their formation and will provide important information on the magmatic/hydrothermal evolution of this unusual IOA occurrence and its significant REE, Nb, and Ta mineralization.

Wie kann die Nachsorge von Care Leavers aus stationären Einrichtungen in der Schweiz verbessert werden?

Year: 2023

description: Die Literaturarbeit von Dominik Hochreutener stellt die Frage: Wie kann die Nachsorge von Care Leavers (CL) aus stationären Einrichtungen in der Schweiz verbessert werden? Sie zeigt auf, wo Wissenschaft und Politik Möglichkeiten zur Verbesserung orten. Die stationäre Erziehungshilfe wird heute noch verbreitet mit Erreichen des Mündigkeitsalters beendet. Einer Verlängerung der Übergangszeit auf Grund veränderter Lebensumstände in der spätmodernen Arbeitsgesellschaft wird zu wenig Rechnung getragen. CL müssen eine Vielzahl von Bewältigungsaufgabe zu früh und in zu starker zeitlicher Verdichtung übernehmen. Dies mit knappen eigenen Ressourcen und wenig oder gar keiner Unterstützung von aussen. Sie werden im Vergleich zu Peers aus Herkunftsfamilien als Benachteiligte erkannt. Chancengerechtigkeit kann nur durch Anpassung der Hilfe an ihre persönliche Entwicklung erreicht werden. Weitere Unterstützung in Bereichen ihrer besonderen psychischen Belastung, bei Bildung und Berufsvorbereitung, bei der Eingliederung in ein neues soziales Netz, mit vermehrter Hilfe in alltagspraktischen Dingen, wie beim Wohnen, steht im Vordergrund. Nach einer Betrachtung von Literatur vor allem aus Deutschland und Best-Practice-Beispielen, geht die Arbeit auf die speziellen Verhältnisse in der Schweiz ein. Sie nimmt als Ausgangspunkt für mögliche Verbesserungen das neue Kinder- und Jugendheimgesetz (KJG) des Kantons Zürich mit seiner neuen sozialpädagogisch fachlichen Steuerung sowie Empfehlungen an die Kantone in den Blick. Vorschläge in Richtung vermehrter Bringschuld von Leistungen der öffentlichen Hand, vermehrter Flexibilität für den Leistungsbezug und eine Begleitung von CL mit gesamtheitlicher Betrachtung sind wichtige Elemente zu einer Verbesserung der Lebenslage von CL in der Schweiz.

description: We present new 14 high-resolution echelle spectra to discuss the level of chromospheric activity of DM UMa in {He I} D3, {Na I} D1, D2, Halpha, and {Ca II} infrared triplet lines (IRT). It is the first time to discover the emissions above the continuum in the {He I} D3 lines on 2015 February 9 and 10. The emission on February 9 is the strongest one ever detected for DM UMa. We analysed these chromospheric active indicators by employing the spectral subtraction technique. The subtracted spectra reveal weak emissions in the {Na I} D1, D2 lines, strong emission in the Halpha line, and clear excess emissions in the {Ca II} IRT lines. Our values for the EW8542/EW8498 ratio are on the low side, in the range of 1.0-1.7. There are also clear phase variations of the level of chromospheric activity in equivalent width (EW) light curves in these chromospheric active lines (especially the Halpha line). These phenomena might be explained by flare events or rotational modulations of the level of chromospheric activity.

description: (Ba,K)Fe2As2 superconducting wires and tapes are fabricated by using hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technique, and their superconducting properties are studied. In the HIP round wire, transport critical current density (Jc) at 4.2 K has achieved record-high value of 175 kA/cm2 at zero field, and exceeds 20 kA/cm2 even at 100 kOe. Improvement of polycrystalline powder synthesis may play a key role for the enhancement of Jc. In the HIP tape, even larger transport Jc of 380 kA/cm2 is realized at zero field. Based on magnetization and magneto-optical measurements, possible further enhancement of Jc is discussed.
