The Role of Family in Latinx Students Science Education and Careers
Creators: name: Thursby, Kay
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The present study qualitatively investigated the role of family in Latinx students’ science pursuit and explored gender patterns among participants. Latinx students represent 10% of Bachelor’s degrees in STEM fields, and compose only 8% of the STEM workforce (Student Research Foundation, 2020). Familismo, the promotion of loyalty and obedience within the family, is a prevalent cultural value among Latinx individuals (Stake, 2006) and influences Latinx students’ educational aspirations (e.g., Killoren et al., 2017). This study addressed the following questions: (1) ) How does family shape Latinx students’ experiences in education and careers in the sciences?, and (2) Are there gender patterns regarding the ways in which Latinx youth discuss the role of family in their pursuit of science education and careers? One-on-one in-depth interviews were conducted with students from a summer science-mentoring program targeting Latinx students. The sample included 11 Latinx youth participants (54% high school, 45% college, 55% male). Families were found to influence participants in the following ways: (1) communicating a sense of pride and encouragement in the student (2) having high educational expectations, (3) their limited experiences with higher education, and (4) balancing academic and familial responsibilities. Analyses for gender patterns highlighted similarities and differences in messages and expectations between males and females. This study provides context into how families influence Latinx students pursuing the sciences and provides suggestions for interventions and future programs of research.

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Beta-barrel membrane proteins are found in the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. This work examines both the structure of the loop region and investigates the transmembrane region. In the first part of this work, we model long loop in LptD beta barrel membrane protein, which can facilitate studies the extracellular loop regions of the protein LptD, an essential OMP that inserts lipopolysaccharide endotoxins into the outer membrane of Escherichia coli. LptD contains 26 strands and 13 loops. Currently, accurate models have been predicted for short loops with <18 residues. With pretzel, we aim to model one of the loops of LptD that is 35 residues long. In the second part of the work, we explore a computational strategy to stabilize beta barrel transmembrane proteins using eukaryotic mitochondrial protein, OmpG as our system. We design a set of novel βMPs structure based on OmpG. We evaluate designs of new beta barrel membrane protein structures for wild-type OmpG that contain 14 strands and 7 loops, where a new beta hairpin is inserted at various places in the wild-type OmpG for 7 experimentally generated sequences. Using improved energy function, we predict the best possible beta barrel stable structure.

description: The recent IceCube discovery of 0.1-1 PeV neutrinos of astrophysical origin opens up a new era for high-energy astrophysics. Although there are various astrophysical candidate sources, a firm association of the detected neutrinos with one (or more) of them is still lacking. A recent analysis of plausible astrophysical counterparts within the error circles of IceCube events showed that likely counterparts for nine of the IceCube neutrinos include mostly BL Lacs, among which Mrk 421. Motivated by this result and a previous independent analysis on the neutrino emission from Mrk 421, we test the BL Lac-neutrino connection in the context of a specific theoretical model for BL Lac emission. We model the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the BL Lacs selected as counterparts of the IceCube neutrinos using a one-zone leptohadronic model and mostly nearly simultaneous data. The neutrino flux for each BL Lac is self-consistently calculated, using photon and proton distributions specifically derived for every individual source. We find that the SEDs of the sample, although different in shape and flux, are all well fitted by the model using reasonable parameter values. Moreover, the model-predicted neutrino flux and energy for these sources are of the same order of magnitude as those of the IceCube neutrinos. In two cases, namely Mrk 421 and H 1914-194, we find a suggestively good agreement between the model prediction and the detected neutrino flux. Our predictions for all the BL Lacs of the sample are in the range to be confirmed or disputed by IceCube in the next few years of data sampling.

Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice is More than Repetition: The Role of Subtasks in Mastery Learning
Creators: name: Podolej, Gregory Stanley
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Deliberate practice has been hailed as the panacea to achieve mastery learning in medical education, yet it can be very time consuming and fails to consider the innate cognitive differences among learners. In this work, I propose a modification to traditional deliberate practice called “Sub-Task Cycling”. Sub-Task cycling partitions a learning intervention into discrete sub-tasks in order to help facilitate the process of chunking. With regards to orotracheal intubation, Sub-Task Cycling is demonstrated to achieve mastery learning more efficiently than traditional Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice. This difference is attributed to Sub-Task Cycling optimizing instructional design from an information processing theory perspective and minimizes the intrinsic cognitive load on learner's working memory.

A Gaussian Model for Simulated Geomagnetic Field Reversals

description: Field reversals are the most spectacular changes in the geomagnetic field but remain little understood. Paleomagnetic data primarily constrain the reversal rate and provide few additional clues. Reversals and excursions are characterized by a low in dipole moment that can last for some 10kyr. Some paleomagnetic records also suggest that the field decreases much slower before an reversals than it recovers afterwards and that the recovery phase may show an overshoot in field intensity. Here we study the dipole moment variations in several extremely long dynamo simulation to statistically explored the reversal and excursion properties. The numerical reversals are characterized by a switch from a high axial dipole moment state to a low axial dipole moment state. When analysing the respective transitions we find that decay and growth have very similar time scales and that there is no overshoot. Other properties are generally similar to paleomagnetic findings. The dipole moment has to decrease to about 30% of its mean to allow for reversals. Grand excursions during which the field intensity drops by a comparable margin are very similar to reversals and likely have the same internal origin. The simulations suggest that both are simply triggered by particularly large axial dipole fluctuations while other field components remain largely unaffected. A model at a particularly large Ekman number shows a second but little Earth-like type of reversals where the total field decays and recovers after some time.

Liquid Coating's Surface Topology Measurement via Structured Illumination and Stereoscopic Vision
Creators: name: Belknap, Daniel A
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This mechanical engineering research thesis describes the theory, research & development, prototyping, and testing of two laboratory methods of surface topology measurement. These methods are intended to be generally applicable in a commercial context at the Spraying Systems Company. The first method is structured illumination, which measures the refraction of a known lighting structure through a transparent or translucent liquid coating. The second method provides a means of perceiving depth of an opaque liquid coating using stereoscopic vision for configurations or conditions where structured illumination does not work. Structured illumination uses a high-definition LCD display to project a grid pattern of light from beneath horizontally oriented optical glass coated on top with the sample fluid. This provides a determination of surface topology with ± 63 microns of error. Stereoscopic vision uses a pair of Intel RealSense cameras spaced a fixed distance apart and Intel RealSense software to calculate depth from the difference in parallax between the cameras, just as human binocular vision achieves depth perception. Stereoscopic vision provides determination of surface topology with ± 1 mm of error. Precision and accuracy can be improved by using higher resolution stereoscopic cameras. Both laboratory methods will prove practical and useful for a broad range of both research and commercial applications measuring surface topology at the Spraying Systems Company.

description: Background: The human intestine is host to an enormously complex, diverse, and vast microbial community—the gut microbiota. The gut microbiome plays a profound role in metabolic processing, energy production, immune and cognitive development, epithelial homeostasis, and so forth. However, the composition and diversity of the gut microbiome can be readily affected by external factors, which raises the possibility that exposure to toxic environmental chemicals leads to gut microbiome alteration, or dysbiosis. Arsenic exposure affects large human populations worldwide and has been linked to a number of diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders.
Post-Socialism in Chile and Spain: Critical Realism in the Art of Patricio Guzmán and Santiago Sierra

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This dissertation investigates the aesthetic question of realism in the aftermath of Chile and Spain’s political transitions since the 1970s. As Pinochet’s 1973 coup ended Allende’s Chilean road to electoral socialism to establish a sixteen-year dictatorship, Franco’s four-decades of fascist regime concluded with his death in 1975. Both countries emerged on the post-1989 world stage as post-dictatorial democracies and the Spanish-speaking economic miracles of Latin America and Europe. However, their road to democracy has been treacherous. Their successes were paralleled by rises in inequality and the social death of the historical left tradition. The neoliberalism Pinochet imposed in Chile by dictatorial rule had a farcical version with the third way politics implemented in democratic Spain by the new liberal consensus. Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzmán and Spanish artist Santiago Sierra responded to the demise of socialism by producing images of civil alienation. While Guzmán’s aesthetics can be nostalgic and utopian and Sierra’s, subversive and dystopian, this study challenges conventional readings and presents their work as part of a universal modernist tradition. Guzmán and Sierra’s critical realism narrates their history from the standpoint of the participant, creating a sense of futurity and the means for getting there. Their production of forms of assembly invokes the beholder’s subjectivity as an inextricable part of the artwork, calling for the idea of cooperation that once conveyed the principle of solidarity with the defeated working class. This tactic has the power to be transformative in itself insofar as it can stimulate the imagination of a collective future by means of political organization.

description: We propose and numerically demonstrate a technique for subwavelength imaging based on a metal-dielectric multilayer hyperlens designed in such a way that only the large-wavevector waves are transmitted while all propagating waves from the image area are blocked by the hyperlens. As a result, the image plane only contains scattered light from subwavelength features of the objects and is free from background illumination. Similar in spirit to conventional dark-field microscopy, the proposed dark-field hyperlens is promising for optical imaging of weakly scattering subwavelength objects, such as optical nanoscopy of label-free biological objects.

description: The present study examines the mathematical properties of the free-free ( f-f) matrix elements of the full electric field operator, of the multipolar Hamiltonian. Special methods are developed and applied for their computation, for the general case where the scattering wavefunctions are calculated numerically in the potential of the term-dependent (N-1) electron core, and are energy-normalized. It is found that, on the energy axis, the f-f matrix elements of the full operator have singularities of first order in the case of equal photoelectron energies. The numerical applications are for f-f transitions in Hydrogen and Neon, obeying electric dipole and quadrupole selection rules. In the limit of zero photon wave-number, the full operator reduces to the length form of the electric dipole approximation (EDA). It is found that the results for the EDA agree with those of the full operator, with the exception of a photon wave-number region about the singularity.

description: Background: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are structurally similar to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and have both central (learning and memory deficits) and peripheral (motor dysfunction) neurotoxic effects at concentrations/doses similar to those of PCBs. The cellular and molecular mechanisms for these neurotoxic effects are not fully understood; however, several studies have shown that PBDEs affect thyroid hormones, cause oxidative stress, and disrupt Ca2+-mediated signal transduction. Changes in these signal transduction pathways can lead to differential gene regulation with subsequent changes in protein expression, which can affect the development and function of the nervous system.
title: How do Current Economic and Cultural Criteria for Assessing the Effectivity of the Liverpool Biennial Impact Upon its Planning, Strategies, and Resourcing?
Creators: name: Yorke, S
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis focuses on the evolution of the Liverpool Biennial through the use of their evaluation methodologies. Throughout, I will show how evaluation and impact research has shaped the development of the Biennial and how the methodologies have influenced their policy and structure. I will discuss how the implications of these decisions have been governed from the use of both quantitative and qualitative methods of data gathering and how the language has been used to develop the marketing to describe their cultural output and impacts. The research begins with investigating the cultural valuation techniques that have been applied to the Liverpool Biennial Festival’s research, and impact reports. This research investigates the methodologies applied to evaluate the cultural value of the Biennial’s programme of cultural activity to determine the efficiency and validity of the Festival’s cultural impact studies. I will show how the Biennial’s extensive demographic research has been used to enable them to develop from a niche trade Festival. Furthermore, I will illustrate how each successive Festival (1999 – 2012) has developed, its increasing economic impact to the city, as well as increasing its popularity to a more inclusive audience under the tutelage of Lewis Biggs, Paul Domela and Paul Smith. Through in-depth analysis of their approach to evaluation, the thesis also reveals how the language of their marketing and visitor profile information has enhanced the intrinsic impact, cultural experience, or customer satisfaction of the service provided within the Festival. The research shows how the finding from the evaluation and impact research has been implemented into the decision-making, planning and curation of the Liverpool Biennial organisation so that they produce significant cultural impact.

description: We develop a framework for the average-case analysis of random quadratic problems and derive algorithms that are optimal under this analysis. This yields a new class of methods that achieve acceleration given a model of the Hessian's eigenvalue distribution. We develop explicit algorithms for the uniform, Marchenko-Pastur, and exponential distributions. These methods are momentum-based algorithms, whose hyper-parameters can be estimated without knowledge of the Hessian's smallest singular value, in contrast with classical accelerated methods like Nesterov acceleration and Polyak momentum. Through empirical benchmarks on quadratic and logistic regression problems, we identify regimes in which the the proposed methods improve over classical (worst-case) accelerated methods.

Report on migration and demographic patterns in the EU CEE countries and potential source countries”. Its aim is to analyse the migration profile of Hungary and to assess the country’s migration potential in order to provide material for fine-tuning the FUME migration projection model. Some of the variables considered in this analysis are migrants’ gender, educational attainment, employment, formal status and country of origin. Moreover, the report is a first step in the analytical exercise which aims to determine migration movement potential both from and to Hungary.
 Hungary, similarly to other Visegrad countries, is a relatively new immigration country. One of the key moments in its recent migration history is the accession to the European Union in 2004. The report briefly presents the historical context of migrations to and from Hungary in order to facilitate an understanding of the country’s current migration profile. It both sketches the demographic structure of the population of migrants residing in the country and refers to the issues around the Hungarian diaspora regionally and globally. Moreover, the presented analysis provides background information concerning particular institutions and laws that are crucial for the migration policy of the country.

description: In order to measure the Universal Time (UT1) in real time, National Time Service Center (NTSC) has built a VGOS-like (VLBI Global Observing System) broadband VLBI network, which includes three 13-m radio telescopes located in Jilin, Sanya and Kashi, and a data analysis center in Xi'an. Each station is equipped with a highly stable hydrogen atomic clock and a self-developed VLBI backend, and is co-located with two GPS receivers. This VGOS-like VLBI network may play an important role in improving the Chinese broadband VLBI technology and making valuable contributions to domestic VLBI measurements of UT1. In this paper, we introduce the specifications of this VLBI network, and present the UT1 measurements at C-band conducted in 2018 using the Jilin-Kashi baseline of this network. The comparisons between our UT1 estimates and those provided by IERS suggest that the NTSC VLBI network is capable to determine UT1 accurate at the level of 58.8 microseconds.

title: Decisions about feeding after stroke
Creators: name: Lisa. Sheldrick, Heulwen

description: In the acute stages of stroke where the patient experiences dysphagia or reduced levels of consciousness, clinicians make decisions on how a patient's food and fluid needs will be met. These decisions include whether the patient should take oral diet, or whether nutrition should be administered via a Nasogastric (NG) or Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tube. This qualitative study investigates the process by which clinicians make decisions over the timing and mode of nutrition or hydration interventions available to them. Data were collected from twenty patient participants and twenty-four clinicians from two NHS Trusts. The patient data comprised both clinical case note data and observational data taken from clinical discussions on the ward during their admission. In-depth interviews were undertaken with clinicians to explore their experiences and views on decision making for nutrition and hydration. The data were analysed to generate substantive theory following the principles of grounded theory. The findings suggest that the decision making process follows a normative pathway of 'not to feed' the patient which is based on three key beliefs. These were that; nutrition and hydration were viewed as distinct and different interventions, with nutrition not being considered essential to recovery after stroke; the risk of pulmonary aspiration was perceived to outweigh the benefits of providing nutrition; and, that nutritional interventions could prolong a poor Quality of Life for a patient. Deviation from this normative pathway by clinicians was influenced by four key themes; views about the patient's prognosis; beliefs about the nutrition and hydration interventions available; perceived responsibilities of those involved; and, personal conscience issues. The findings from the study are discussed in the context of clinical practice and the implications for future research

description: RF superconductivity has become a major subfield of accelerator science. There has been an explosion in the number of accelerator applications and in the number of laboratories engaged. The first lecture at this meeting of the CAS presented a review of fundamental design principles to develop cavity geometries to accelerate velocity-of-light particles ($β$ = v/c ~ 1), moving on to the corresponding design principles for medium-velocity (medium-$β$) and low-velocity (low-$β$) structures. The lecture included mechanical design topics. The second lecture dealt with input couplers, higher-order mode extraction couplers with absorbers, and tuners of both the slow and fast varieties.

description: We consider inference post-model-selection in linear regression. In this setting, Berk et al.(2013) recently introduced a class of confidence sets, the so-called PoSI intervals, that cover a certain non-standard quantity of interest with a user-specified minimal coverage probability, irrespective of the model selection procedure that is being used. In this paper, we generalize the PoSI intervals to post-model-selection predictors.
