Survey nonresponse

description: Understanding the behaviors and attitudes of at-risk populations is fundamental to controlling the spread of HIV, the virus which causes AIDS. The problem of nonresponse among these populations, however, plagues survey research designed to address these issues. Previous work undertaken to map out the dynamics of nonresponse--both non-contacts and refusals--have primarily focused on exploring the effectiveness of a single method of outreach. This analysis improves upon this prior research by comparing the effectiveness of two types of outreach strategies in a follow-up face-to-face survey of individuals seeking HIV prevention services in New Jersey during the period 1999-2001. Caseworkers from community-based organizations (CBOs) attempted to contact one set of respondents, while “outsider” researchers attempted to contact the second set. In brief, we find that in contrast to a CBO research affiliation, an outsider researcher status is associated with higher survey response rates.
title: Spin Transport and Exchange Coupling in Ballistic Magnetic Multilayers
Creators: name: Fadeev, Valentin
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2020

description: In this work we study a set of related problems in the theory of ballistic spin transport. We draw special attention to the phenomenon of exchange coupling, which is interesting both from the theoretical point of view, and the possible applications in spintronics. For the calculations we employ the Landauer transfer matrix formalism, testing its assumptions, extending it to new models and establishing links with other branches of physics.
Collectivity, distributivity, and the interpretation of numerical expressions in child and adult language

Collectivity (Linguistics)
Distributivity (Linguistics)

description: Sentences containing plural numerical expressions (e.g., two boys) can give rise to two interpretations (collective and distributive), arising from the fact that their representation admits of a part-whole structure. We present the results of a series of experiments designed to explore children’s understanding of this distinction and its implications for the acquisition of linguistic expressions with number words. We show that preschoolers access both interpretations, indicating that they have the requisite linguistic and conceptual machinery to generate the corresponding representations. Furthermore, they can shift their interpretation in response to structural and lexical manipulations. However, they are not fully adult-like: unlike adults, they are drawn to the distributive interpretation, and are not yet fully aware of the lexical semantics of each and together, which should favor one or another interpretation. This research bridges a gap between a well-established body of work in cognitive psychology on the acquisition of number words and more recent work investigating children’s knowledge of the syntactic and semantic properties of sentences featuring numerical expressions.

description: Agencies serving survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) often include economic empowerment programs and approaches as a way to assist survivors struggling with avoiding poverty and gaining financial independence. Understanding and addressing the economic needs of IPV survivors is more complex than just knowing their income. Indeed, survivors’ ability to manage their finances and any financial stress or strain should also be assessed to fully understand their needs. The Financial Strain Survey (FSS) (Aldana & Liljenquist, 1998) provides a useful tool for screening and understanding survivors’ complex financial needs. Using data from 457 IPV survivors from seven U.S. states and Puerto Rico, the current study evaluates the factor structure, reliability, and validity of using the FSS with IPV survivors. Findings indicate that the FSS is a reliable instrument for use with IPV survivors. The conclusion discusses the FSS as a practical tool for both practice and research with this population.
Understanding factors that affect design knowledge sharing across disciplinary boundaries in agile-human-centred design software development project team environments at ANZ

description: Organisations world-wide are increasingly integrating Human-Centred Design philosophies in Agile software development methodologies in an effort to improve the user experience of their software solutions. This research investigates factors that support and challenge the sharing of knowledge that stems from the Human-Centred Design practice to Agile software development project teams, at the Australia and New Zealand banking group. Research findings propose organisational and individual strategies for best practice in improving design knowledge management in these teams. These strategies are applicable to both Australia and New Zealand banking group and potentially transferable to other organisations who employ both Agile and Human-Centred Design ways of working, to produce software solutions.
BioExcel Webinar #39: Accelerating sampling in GROMACS with the AWH method (2019-09-24)
Creators: name: Hess, Berk

Year: 2019
Subjects: Webinar

description: Simulation of conformational transitions in bio-molecules is often problematic because transitions occur over timescales that are longer than what can be simulated. If one has a good reaction coordinate, transitions can be accelerated by up to several orders of magnitude by applying a biasing potential. In this webinar we will show how the Accelerated Weight Histogram method can be used in the GROMACS simulation package to adaptively accelerate sampling in an automated fashion and obtain equilibrium properties. We will discuss the method itself and show applications to DNA and permeation through a membrane protein. To watch the webinar go on the BioExcel YouTube channel: link

description: The increasing interconnection of local, trans-local and transnational knowledge networks is the outcome of the coevolution of (i) knowledge centers, typically city regions, (ii) epistemic communities that are grounded in and connect these regions and (iii) firms, usually multinational enterprises (MNEs). This interaction has created opportunities for innovation, but it is also impeded by a range of frictions that arise in the process of integrating locally embedded knowledge from geographically dispersed and culturally disparate regions across different countries. This article develops a simple model of how such frictions that MNEs encounter in their knowledge internationalization process can be overcome through ongoing processes of connecting, sense-making and integrating.

The absolute loation of eah networked node is an assumed fat by most sensor networks whih an then present the sensed information on a geographial map. Finding loation without the aid of GPS in eah node of an ad ho network is important in ases where GPS is either not aessible, or not pratial to use due to power, form fator or line of sight onditions. Loation would also enable routing in suÆiently isotropi large networks, without the use of large routing tables. We are proposing APS { a distributed, hop by hop positioning algorithm, that works as an extension of both distane vetor routing and GPS positioning in order to provide approximate loation for all nodes in a network where only a limited fration of nodes have self loation apability.

title: Epidemiology of Streptococcus suis infection in Viet Nam

description: Human Streptococcus suis infection is an emerging zoonotic disease in Southeast Asian countries. It can seriously threaten human heath causing both outbreaks with high morbidity and mortality and endemic disease. It can also have a major negative impact on the economically important pig industry across the region. The aims of this thesis were to understand the epidemiology of human S. suis infection in Viet Nam, focusing on the incidence rate, seasonality and risk factors for infection with S. suis. I conducted a prospective surveillance of central nervous system (CNS) infections in twelve provinces of Viet Nam including the Central, the Highlands and the south of the country. I was able to demonstrate that S. suis was an endemic disease across southern Viet Nam, and responsible for 49% of adult purulent bacterial meningitis. The incidence rate was 0.57 per 100,000 adult person-years (95% CI, 0.47-0.70) and infection had a case fatality rate of 8%. S. suis meningitis tended to predominantly occur in the hottest months of the year in central Viet Nam, but this seasonal pattern was not documented in the south of the country. A case control study demonstrated that occupational exposure to pigs or pork was a significant risk factor for S. suis infection. I was also able to identify novel and important risk factors for S. suis disease among the Vietnamese population. Eating fresh blood and undercooked pig products (OR1 = 2.22; 95%CI = [1.15-4.28] and OR2 = 4.44; 95%CI = [2.15-9.15]) and exposures of people with skin injuries to pigs or pork (OR = 7.48; 95% CI = [1.97-28.44] and OR2 = 15.96; 95%CI = [2.97-85.72]), were significant risk factors. These risk factors can be addressed in health education programs targeted at individuals and communities at risk, focusing on skin protection for those in direct contact with pigs or pork and avoiding eating fresh blood and undercooked pig products. In addition, we were unable to detect S. suis serotype 2 DNA from the throat and rectal swab samples of 1523 healthy persons and non-S. suis infected patients, including those with exposure to pigs and pork meat. Hence I was not able to demonstrate human carriage of S. suis serotype 2 in the Vietnamese population.

AoA

description: AoA (Angle of Arrival) is a well known method used for positioning in providing services such as E911, and for other military and civil radio-location applications, such as sonars and radars. Although devices such as GPS receivers and digital compasses provide good positioning and orientation outdoors, there are many applications requiring the same facilities indoors, where line of sight access to satellites is unavailable, or earth magnetic readings are unreliable. We propose a method for all nodes to determine their orientation and position in an ad hoc network where only a fraction of nodes have the positioning capabilities, under the assumption that each node has the AoA capability.

Computer Architecture

description: Energy consumption of any component in a system may sometimes constitute just a small percentage of that of the overall system, making it necessary to address the issue of energy efficiency across the entire range of system components, from memory, to the CPU, to peripherals. Presented is a hardware architecture for detecting regions of application execution at runtime, for which there is opportunity to run a device at a slightly lower performance level, by reducing the operating frequency and voltage, to save energy. The proposed architecture, the Power Adaptation Unit (PAU) may be used to control the operating voltage of various system components, ranging from the CPU core, to memory and peripherals. An evaluation of the tradeoffs in performance versus energy savings and hardware cost of the PAU is conducted, along with results on its efficacy for a set of benchmarks. It is shown that on the average, a single entry PAU provides energy savings of 27%, with a corresponding performance degradation of 0.75% for the SPEC CPU 2000 integer and floating point benchmarks investigated.
A computer-based mental mapping skills assessment tool
Creators: name: Shan Chang, Lau
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Individuals who are newly visually impaired should undergo an orientation and mobility training to help them learn essential safe travel. Orientation refers to the ability to place objects via spatial cognition in an environment and being aware of one’s location and its association with the environments. Part of this sensory training encompasses the strengthening of the mental mapping skills. Mental mapping helps a person to determine their current location and their intended destination with relation to other objects in their current environmental space. This research uses a computer-based assessment tool to evaluate the mental mapping skills of the participants.

description: This review critically examines the current state of the science on the concept of family caregiver-care receiver mutuality, summarizes accomplishments and gaps and identifies directions for future theory development and research. Mutuality between family caregivers and care receivers is of increasing interest to researchers. However, no analysis of the current state of the science of this important concept has been published. Our literature search revealed 34 research articles that met inclusion criteria. The studies were assessed in terms of conceptualization of mutuality, instrument development, populations studied, research designs and methods and findings. Significant scientific progress during the past 30 years includes the development of clear definitions and new instruments, expansion of research beyond the clinical populations in which mutuality was first studied, the use of a variety of research designs, and increasingly sophisticated methods of data analysis. Growing evidence suggests that mutuality is associated with caregiver emotional health outcomes and may decrease over time in the context of chronic illness. Directions for future research include development of new theoretical frameworks grounded in relational theory, development of theory on the dynamics of mutuality over time, exploration of mutuality in diverse cultures and populations, and intervention studies aimed at enhancing mutuality.

description: Background Drug checking is a harm reduction intervention aiming to reduce substance use-related risks by improving drug user knowledge of the composition of unregulated drugs. With increasing fears of fentanyl adulteration in unregulated drugs, this study sought to examine whether the expected type of drug checked (stimulant vs. opioid) was associated with timing of drug checking service utilization (pre-consumption vs. post-consumption). Methods Data were derived from drug checking sites in British Columbia between October 31, 2017 and December 31, 2019. Pearson’s Chi-square test was used to examine the relationship between expected sample type (stimulant vs. opioid) and timing of service utilization. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated to assess the strength of this relationship. The Mantel–Haenszel (MH) test was used to adjust for service location. Results A total of 3561 unique stimulant and opioid samples were eligible for inclusion, including 691 (19.40%) stimulant samples; and 2222 (62.40%) samples that were tested pre-consumption. Results indicated a positive association between testing stimulant samples and testing pre-consumption (OR = 1.45; 95% CI 1.21–1.73). Regions outside of the epicenter of the province’s drug scene showed a stronger association with testing pre-consumption (ORMH = 2.33; 95% CI 1.51–3.56) than inside the epicenter (ORMH = 1.33; 95% CI 1.09–1.63). Conclusion Stimulant samples were more likely to be checked pre-consumption as compared with opioid samples, and stimulant samples were more likely to be tested pre-consumption in regions outside the epicenter of the province’s drug scene. This pattern may reflect a concern for fentanyl-adulterated stimulant drugs.

description: Globally, urban-coastal areas are expected to experience substantial landscape shifts as a result of climate change induced sea level rise. Such changes will impact valuable ecosystem services. We employed sea level rise projections and land cover change mapping to develop a model which quantified present-day carbon sequestration, aboveground carbon storage, and belowground carbon storage ecosystem services and predicted the impact of sea level rise and accretion through 2100 on future ecosystem services in the urban-coastal Jamaica Bay, New York (USA) watershed. Our model predicted that future carbon sequestration, aboveground carbon storage, and belowground carbon storage potential in our watershed will be significantly impacted in wetlands and natural coastal-fringe habitat and have losses up to 0.16%, 15%, and 51%, respectively. We paired our present-day ecosystem services model results with data on socio-economic need (access to open space and poverty level of each census tract in the watershed) and used multivariate clustering analysis to identify clusters in which planning and restoration may help to address issues of ecological conservation and environmental justice. Our work addresses the need for better understanding of urban-coastal ecosystem service flows and the potential impact of future landscape change on these services. Our results provide support to increase coastal resilience through informed design, planning, and management of these ecologically and socially significant landscapes.

description: Objective: People with allergic rhinitis (AR) often self-manage in the community pharmacy setting without consulting health care professionals and trivialize their comorbidities such as asthma. A mobile health application (mHealth app) with a self-monitoring and medication adherence system can assist with the appropriate self-management of AR and asthma. This study aimed to identify an app effective for the self-management of AR and/or asthma. Methods: MHealth apps retrieved from the Australian Apple App Store and Android Google Play Store were included in this study if they were developed for self-management of AR and/or asthma; in English language; free of charge for the full version; and accessible to users of the mHealth app. The mHealth app quality was evaluated on three domains using a two-stage process. In Stage 1, the apps were ranked along Domain 1 (Accessibility in both app stores). In Stage 2, the apps with Stage 1, maximum score were ranked along Domain 2 (alignment with theoretical principles of the self-management of AR and/or asthma) and Domain 3 (usability of the mHealth app using Mobile App Rating Scale instrument). Results: Of the 418 apps retrieved, 31 were evaluated in Stage 1 and 16 in Stage 2. The MASK-air achieved the highest mean rank and covered all self-management principles except the doctor’s appointment reminder and scored a total MARS mean score of 0.91/1. Conclusions:MASK-air is ranked most highly across the assessment domains for the self-management of both AR and coexisting asthma. This mHealth app covers the majority of the self-management principles and is highly engaging.

description: Despite its importance for the social sciences, human agency remains an ambiguous and underoperationalized construct. After engaging prior research to articulate clear criteria for defining agency and synthesize a multidimensional conceptual framework for human agency, this study develops and validates preliminary General Human Agency Indicators (GHAIs) to measure subconstructs within that framework. Utilizing the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) dataset, we aggregated a list of 30 survey items previously used in agency research and conducted an iterative process of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and item elimination to reduce that list to a set of 9-13 items with a strong, consistent factorial structure. Using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), we identified two bifactor models that demonstrated good fit: a nine-item General Personal Agency scale (GPAS) and a nine-item GHAIs tool combining six items from the GPAS with three measuring agency achievement. Initial evidence for the construct validity of the tools was produced through tests of internal consistency and correlational analysis, indicating that the proposed GPAS and GHAIs effectively measure personal agency, intrinsic agency, instrumental agency, and agency achievement.

description: Objective: Adherence and inhaler technique are often suboptimal in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). New inhalers have been developed to improve these determinants of treatment effectiveness. We assessed treatment adherence, satisfaction, and ease of use of DuoResp® Spiromax® among SPRINT study participants. Methods: The Phase IV SPRINT study was conducted in 10 European countries. Asthma and COPD patients were receiving a fixed-dose combination of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) and long-acting β2-agonist (LABA), delivered via various inhalers including DuoResp Spiromax. DuoResp Spiromax users self-assessed adherence using the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8®), and ease of use and satisfaction using 10-point scales, during a single physician’s office visit. Results: Of 1661 (asthma: n = 1101; COPD: n = 560) SPRINT study participants, 342 (asthma: n = 235; COPD: n = 107) received DuoResp Spiromax prior to inclusion. Overall, 72.5% of DuoResp Spiromax users reported medium or high adherence (MMAS-8 score ≥6). Mean (standard deviation [SD]) satisfaction score for DuoResp Spiromax was 8.9 (1.6). Almost all (98.8%) DuoResp Spiromax users were at least satisfied with their inhaler; 85.4% were very satisfied. Mean (SD) ease of use score for DuoResp Spiromax was 9.1 (1.3). Conclusions: Asthma and COPD patients using DuoResp Spiromax reported moderate-to-high medication adherence, were very satisfied with their inhaler and found it easy to use.

description: Objectives: Resource limitations and low rates of follow-up with primary care providers currently limit the impact of emergency department (ED)-based preventative strategies for children with asthma. A mechanism to recognize the children at highest risk of future hospitalization is needed to target comprehensive preventative interventions at discharge. The primary objective of this study was to determine whether frequency of ED visits predicts future asthma hospitalization in children. Methods: Children aged 2–16.99 years with asthma ED visits between 2012 and 2015 were identified through health administrative data. Survival analysis using Kaplan–Meier estimator and multivariable Cox regression models with time-varying covariates were used to quantify the number of ED visits in the previous year that would best predict hospitalization risk in the following year, after adjustment for age, sex, and presentation severity. Results: We identified 2669 patients with 3300 asthma ED visits. ED visit count was an independent predictor of future hospitalization risk (p Conclusions: ED visit count is a reliable predictor of future asthma hospitalization risk. Future studies could aim to validate these findings to support using ED visit count as a practical and objective tool to predict the children at the highest risk of future hospitalization and therefore, those who may benefit most from ED-based preventative interventions.
Reexamining the Effect of Refugees on Civil Conflict : A Global Subnational Analysis

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: A large literature suggests that the presence of refugees is associated with greater risk of conflict. We argue that the positive effects of hosting refugees on local conditions have been overlooked. Using global data from 1990 to 2018 on locations of refugee communities and civil conflict at the subnational level, we find no evidence that hosting refugees increases the likelihood of new conflict, prolongs existing conflict, or raises the number of violent events or casualties. Furthermore, we explore conditions where provinces are likely to experience substantively large decreases in conflict risk due to increased development. Analysis examining nighttime lights as a measure of development, coupled with expert interviews, support our claim. To address the possibility of selection bias, we use placebo tests and matching. Our research challenges assertions that refugees are security risks. Instead, we show that in many cases, hosting refugees can encourage local development and even conflict reduction.
Attachment and reassurance seeking in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Creators: name: FitzGerald, Kate Margaret
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study investigated the role of attachment processes in the development of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Excessive reassurance seeking is considered a common safety-seeking behaviour in the context of OCD, which has received less research attention than other symptoms. The current study found a robust association between attachment anxiety and reassurance-seeking behaviour. The results suggested that individuals with a negative view of the self, coupled with a positive view of others, were more vulnerable to developing excessive reassurance-seeking behaviour. This research highlights the importance of considering attachment processes in the development and maintenance of OCD symptoms.
