THE INFLUENCE OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT ON SELECTIVE ATTENTION IN THE RAT: ASSOCIATIVE FACTORS
Creators: name: Schindler, Charles Weber
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: When rats are trained to respond during a tone-light compound stimulus to receive food they will subsequently attend to the light element of the compound. However, if they had been trained to avoid shock by responding during the compound stimulus they are much more likely to attend to the tone element. In Experiment 1 it was shown that this predisposition to attend to light when food was the reinforcer and to attend to tone with shock avoidance could be reversed with pretraining to the less relevant stimulus (i.e., tone with food and light with avoidance). That is, in the standard blocking procedure the pretrained stimulus continued to control responding even after it was compounded with a more relevant stimulus. In Experiment 2, two groups of rats were trained to respond for either food or shock avoidance during the tone-light compound stimulus; however, food or shock respectively was presented independent of responding during the absence of the compound stimulus. With this procedure, only stimulus-response factors could contribute to any differential stimulus control between the food and avoidance procedures since the same reinforcer was received during both the compound and its absence. Since no differential control was observed between the food and avoidance procedures, it was concluded that the stimulus-reinforcer relation is essential to the establishment of differential control between them. In the final experiment food was presented during the absence of the tone-light compound for rats responding during the compound to avoid shock. Rats responding during the compound to receive food had shock presented during the absence of the compound. For these procedures any nonassociative effects of either food or shock would be equivalent across groups since both groups receive both food and shock. Since the rats continued to attend to light when they had responded for food and to tone when they had responded to avoid shock, it was concluded that nonassociative factors are of little or no importance to the differential stimulus control observed across food and avoidance procedures. Therefore, it may be concluded that the original stimulus-reinforcer interaction where light was attended to with food procedures and tone was attended with avoidance procedures must be considered as an example of associative learning.

description: The question of maintenance of farm income in the United States has since the late 1920's assumed an increasing importance and a succession of farm programs has since been enacted. The trend of farm income has been taken as one of the signposts by which we predict the trend of the economy of the country as a whole. Thus, while today there are many who object to certain methods of rendering assistance to farmers, there are few who would go so far as to seek abandonment of the whole farm program.

Insularity, Travel, and the Encounter with Female Alterity in Cervantes’s Los Trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda
Creators: name: Mattioli, Laura
Publisher: name: Status Quaestionis
Year: 2023

description: The Persiles exploits a dialectic of centre and periphery to mark the difference between the known, Christian world and the strange, “other” spaces situated on the margins of the euro-centric map. This paper argues that Cervantes knowingly exploits the still largely unexplored Northern regions to situate the portrayal of the female other. Through the experience of travel, the two princes and their companions meet types of women that diverge from the model of the idealised lady, represented by Auristela: desiring women, evil ones and courageous others populate the universe of the Far North. Although some of these representations flow into the monstrous and suffer condemnation from the narrator, Cervantes does not aim to deprecate alterity; instead, he uses the Northern settings to illustrate the varied facets of the female subject.

title: Begriffsassoziationen als Lernvoraussetzungen im Biologieunterricht zum Thema Wald
Creators: name: Gottlieb, Claudia
Year: 2018

description: Die Entwicklung der Sprache von Schülerinnen und Schülern von Alltagssprache hinzu zur Fachsprache ist gerade in naturwissenschaftlichen Fächern von großer Bedeutung. Daher wird in dieser Diplomarbeit zuerst festgelegt, was Fachsprache ist und wie sie das Lernen von Schülerinnen und Schülern beeinflusst. Dabei wird vor allem auch das Lernen von Begriffen thematisiert, da im naturwissenschaftlichen Bereich, vor allem aber auch in der Biologie, ein immenser Umfang an fachsprachlichen Begriffen verwendet wird. Neben der Sprache und dem Erlernen von Begriffen, müssen vor allem auch die Präkonzepte, also die Schülerinnen- und Schülervorstellungen, beleuchtet werden. Somit wird in dieser Diplomarbeit, anhand von freien Assoziationstestungen festgestellt, welche Präkonzepte die Lernenden vor und nach dem Unterricht zum Thema Wald besitzen. Damit soll auch analysiert werden, wie jene Begriffe im Fachunterricht wahrgenommen und entwickelt wurden. Im empirischen Teil der Arbeit wurde nun festgestellt, dass jene Schülerinnen und Schüler, die von vornherein mehr Assoziationen, seien diese fachlicher oder auch nicht fachlicher Natur produzieren können, im Vorteil sind und ihre Konzepte erweitern zu können. Zusätzlich konnte belegt werden, dass innerhalb der fachlichen Assoziationen auch eine Spezifizierung zu themenspezifischeren Assoziationen stattgefunden hat.
description: The development of the pupils' language, from everyday language to technical language is especially important in science subjects. For this reason, this diploma thesis places great importance on defining technical terminology and how it influences the pupils' learning. In the process, the notion of learning technical terms will become more important, as we not only find an immense scope of technical terminology in natural sciences, but especially in biology. Alongside the language and the learning of terms, the pupils' conceptions must be highlighted. Thus, this diploma thesis uses free association tests to determine which pre-concepts the learners have before and after lessons with the topic forest. This is to determine how those terms were perceived and learned in subject-specific teaching. In the empirical part of the thesis it was found out that those pupils, who are able to produce more associations in the pre-test, be they technical or non-technical have the advantage of expanding their concepts. In addition, it was also found that a shift to topic-specific associations took place within associations.

Making Peer Review Robust to Undesirable Behavior
Creators: name: Jecmen, Steven
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2024
Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description:  Scientific peer review is a critical part of the academic publication process, used across disciplines and venues in various forms. Peer review generally relies on the good-faith participation of many reviewers and authors. However, the peer review process must also deal with different kinds of undesirable behavior from participants, including both malicious attempts to cheat the system and non-malicious cases of unreliability. In this thesis, I describe several practical methods that we have proposed for handling different forms of undesirable behavior in peer review.
 First, we consider the problem of reviewer-author collusion, in which malicious reviewers manipulate the paper assignment in order to get assigned to each others’ papers so that they can give them positive reviews. We provide efficient algorithms for finding high-quality randomized assignments that limit the probability that a colluding reviewer-author pair succeeds at manipulating the paper assignment. These randomized assignments also mitigate attempts by malicious reviewers to “torpedo” a disliked paper and attempts by malicious authors to de-anonymize their reviewers.
 Second, we provide an in-depth analysis of the cost of deploying a randomized assignment in terms of the resulting review quality. We propose methods that leverage the randomness introduced by these randomized assignments in order to evaluate alternative paper assignment policies, and apply these methods to estimate the quality of various potential changes to the assignment policy.
 Third, we address the issue of unresponsive reviewers. We provide a simple procedure for finding high-quality paper assignments in a two-phase review process, which allows replacement reviewers to be assigned for any missing or low-effort reviews in the first-phase.
 Fourth, we tackle the problem of strategic reviewing, in which reviewers give low scores to their assigned papers in the hopes of increasing their own paper’s chances of acceptance. We provide algorithms for finding high-quality assignments that are strategyproof to this form of strategic reviewing. 
Finally, we analyze other approaches to addressing the manipulation of paper assignments, which we categorize into mitigation-based and detection-based approaches. We compare the tradeoffs between various proposed approaches to mitigating the impact of manipulated bidding. We also empirically analyze the problem of explicitly detecting reviewer-author collusion rings from the manipulated paper bidding, and furthermore release a dataset on this kind of bidding.

description: The year 1953 is witnessing the opening of more and more television stations within the continental United States. As these new stations begin their operation the problem of attracting a larger audience arises. Although television audience build-up and program promotion has drawn heavily from the promotional methods used in radio, the problem of adding visual stimuli to oral stimuli has given impetus to new methods and antiquated the techniques of radio. New stations are finding very little in the way of collected works on television promotion and must turn to the stations already in operation for guidance. This paper sets forth and explains some of the methods currently employed by typical television stations and networks in the East.

title: Das Fremde verfremden in "Die Schutzbefohlenen"
Creators: name: Dabrowa, Bernadette
Year: 2018

description: In Anbetracht der europäischen Flüchtlings- und Asylsituation der Jahre 2013 bis 2016 untersucht die Arbeit das Theaterstück "Die Schutzbefohlenen" der österreichischen Schriftstellerin Elfriede Jelinek. Dabei stehen die Begriffe „fremd“ und „Verfremdung“ im Zentrum der Analyse. In Anlehnung an Brechts „V-Effekt“ können vor allem intertextuelle Bezüge zu Aischylos "Die Schutzflehenden", als auch zur Broschüre des Bundesministeriums für Inneres "Zusammenleben in Österreich. Werte, die uns verbinden" aufgezeigt werden. Im Zuge dessen intensivieren wiederkehrende Motivfelder und rhetorische Auffälligkeiten das Verfremdungsverfahren der Autorin. Im Fokus der Untersuchung steht der politische Anspruch des Theaterstücks. Daher werden konkrete Ereignisse des betroffenen Zeitraums im Bereich Flucht und Migration beleuchtet, die in Bezug zum literarischen Text gesetzt werden können. Die Arbeit kommt zu der Schlussfolgerung, dass die Grenzen zwischen Theaterraum und politischer Wirklichkeit mit dem Stück "Die Schutzbefohlenen" aufgebrochen werden. Auf diese Weise agiert die Autorin als eigenständige Akteurin in gesellschaftlichen Prozessen des Hier und Jetzt.
description: The following master thesis takes a look on the Austrian writer Elfriede Jelinek and her play "Die Schutzbefohlenen" focusing on the terms “fremd” (strange) and “Verfremdung” (alienation), in consideration of the complicated refugee situation in Europe between 2013 and 2016. It is elaborating on the question which aesthetic means are being utilized by Jelinek to display the “Fremde” (alien) and how it becomes tangible for the reader. Following Bertolt Brecht’s “V-Effekt” (the “A-effect”), intertextual references between "Die Schutzbefohlenen" and Aeschylus "The Suppliants" as well as the booklet "Zusammenleben in Österreich. Werte, die uns verbinden" of the Austrian Federal Ministry of the Interior are shown. Furthermore, repetitive motifs, characteristics and rhetorical features of Jelinek are presented to demonstrate her process of “Verfremdung”. Above all, the paper reviews the political situation in forced displacement and its global effects. It comes to the conclusion that in a literary text like "Die Schutzbefohlenen", the theatre space and political reality are colliding and, consequently breaking apart the barriers that used to seperate them. As a result, the author herself gets to act as a (major) participant in social processes of the present reality.

title: "Die spielen doch nur!" Das "Spiel" als handlungsorientiertes Konzept der Textrezeption im Literaturunterricht am Beispiel der "Jeux Dramatiques"
Creators: name: Mülleder, Katrin
Year: 2018

description: Das erlebnisorientierte Konzept der Jeux Dramatiques, zu Deutsch das Ausdrucksspiel aus dem (inneren) Erleben, findet seine Anfänge im Frankreich der frühen 1930er Jahre bei dem Theaterpädagogen und Theatermacher Léon Chancerel. Die Methode wurde von Heidi Frei weiterentwickelt und im deutschsprachigen Raum vor allem im Grundschulbereich, der Sonder- und Heilpädagogik und der Erwachsenenbildung etabliert. Die Jeux Dramatiques stellen eine dramatische und lustvolle Spielform des personalen Erlebens dar, welche, so die These dieser Arbeit, als partizipative und handlungsorientierte Form der Textarbeit mit Schwerpunkten auf dem inneren Erleben und auf emotional-affektiver Ebene für handlungsorientierte Prozesse eines besseren Literaturverständnisses genutzt werden kann. Durch das stegreifartige Spiel zu Text, bei dem auf gesprochene Sprache weitgehend verzichtet wird, erfordert diese Methode keinerlei Erfahrung im Bereich Schauspiel und knüpft dadurch an die sogenannten szenischen Verfahren innerhalb der Literaturdidaktik an. Ein mehr oder weniger freies Spiel führt innerhalb kurzer Zeit zu einer intensiven und aktiven Auseinandersetzung mit dem Inhalt der Textvorlage, wodurch die Methode für einen Einsatz im Literaturunterricht der Sekundarstufe I und II geeignet scheint. Ausgegangen wird von der Annahme, dass sich die didaktischen und pädagogischen Zielsetzungen, sowie die methodische Umsetzung der bisher angewandten szenischen Verfahren im Literaturunterricht und der Jeux Dramatiques überschneiden. Diese Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zu beleuchten, stellt den Schwerpunkt der Arbeit dar. Hierzu werden literaturdidaktische und dramendidaktische Konzepte vorgestellt und die Methoden des literarischen Rollenspiels, der szenischen Interpretation und der Jeux Dramatiques näher beleuchtet. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf einer handlungs- und produktionsorientierten Arbeit an und mit literarischen Texten. Die Arbeit basiert auf Literaturrecherche aus den Bereichen Literaturdidaktik, Dramendidaktik, den Schriften über die szenischen Verfahren und den Methodenhandbüchern zu Jeux Dramatiques und lässt z.T. eigene Erfahrungen mit den Methoden einfließen.

Stadtplanerische Neuausrichtungen im 20. Jahrhundert, sowie gesellschaftliche und technologische Veränderungen werden als Bedrohung für die öffentlichen Räume wahrgenommen. Sogar vom Absterben der öffentlichen Räume ist die Rede. Gleichzeitig versuchen WissenschaftlerInnen dieser negativen Stimmung entgegenzutreten, indem neue Nutzungsmuster identifiziert und stadtplanerische Umgangsweisen entworfen werden. Die Stadt Wien verschreibt sich den öffentlichen Räumen nicht nur in ihren Konzepten, sondern versucht durch die Errichtung und Neugestaltung von Parkanlagen und Plätzen den Aufenthalt in der Stadt wieder möglich zu machen. Diese Masterarbeit nimmt sich die erste Wientalterrasse im 5. Wiener Gemeindebezirk vor. Mittels Beobachtungstechniken und Befragungsmethodik wird zwei Jahre nach der Eröffnung die Nutzung dieses neu geschaffenen öffentlichen Raums evaluiert. Die leitende Forschungsfrage spezialisiert sich auf die Analyse der vielschichtigen Nutzbarkeit und auf die Bewertung der Aufenthaltsqualität, mit der Absicht, Handlungsvorschläge zu generieren. Das Ergebnis deutet auf einen Schritt in die richtige Richtung, deckt jedoch auch Missstände auf, die zeigen wie nötig eine intensive Auseinandersetzung vor, aber auch nach der Erstellung öffentlicher Räume sein muss.

title: Local identities, discourses, and institutional change: an examination of voluntary municipal amalgamation in Newfoundland and Labrador
Creators: name: Nolan, Robert M.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfundland
Year: 2022

description: This thesis examines the phenomenon of voluntary municipal amalgamation by observing four cases in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. This project draws on insights from scholarship in historical and discursive institutionalisms as well as rhetoric and identity discourses to explore the question of why communities voluntarily amalgamate. The comparative case study observes four cases of amalgamation debate in rural communities of Newfoundland and Labrador: three cases (Fogo Island, Roddickton-Bide Arm, and Trinity Bay North) in which amalgamation occurred; and one case (Labrador City and Wabush) in which the communities considered and decided against amalgamation. The results support the hypotheses that 1) amalgamation is chosen voluntarily when community members believe they are facing urgent challenges that are insurmountable as a single community and 2) resistance to amalgamation is identity-driven, and may be overcome by discourses related to regional identity and community survival. Using the independent variables of regional identity discourses and concern for community survival, a framework is proposed to assist policymakers and local government scholars when assessing the likelihood of voluntary amalgamation.
Redevelopment of Marshall Heights: A Study of Selected Factors as Influences on Attitudes toward Urban Redevelopment

subject: Urban and regional planning

description: As a project area for urban redevelopment, Marshall Heights first attracted attention in 1943. The Engineer Commissioner wrote a letter to the National Capital Park and Planning Commission (now the National Capital Planning Commission) inquiring as to what the District Commissioners could do about Marshall Heights and Barry Farms. Particular interest was given to Marshall Heights because of pressure from the residents of teh area to have utilities installed and the streets improved.

Fluid Dynamics
Fluid Mechanics

description: This deposit contains four presentations on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics given between September and November 2018 in the framework of the research project "GPU acceleration and numerical optimization for SPH" at the Delft University of Technology.

The presentations were designed for a variety of events like institute-wide showcases, cross-faculty seminars, and software user workshops. In all cases the audiences were fewer than 50 attendants. Their background could be relatively uniform (say mathematicians, with different familiarity with SPH modelling) or varied (different expertise and shared familiarity with SPH modelling). Finally, the talk could have been self-contained for a conference or have prepared the ground for other speakers to add their own take.

title: Der vegane Lebensstil
Creators: name: Friesacher, Mariele
Year: 2018

description: In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie vegan lebende Menschen in Österreich ihr politisches Selbstverständnis im Kontrast zur Wahrnehmung und Einordnung ihrer Identität im gesellschaftlichen Fremdbild beschreiben. Außerdem wird eruiert welche Widersprüche sich innerhalb dieses Prozesses identifizieren lassen. Dazu wurden quantitative und qualitative Methoden kombiniert, um dieses noch wenig beforschte Feld zu strukturieren. Insgesamt nahmen 204 Personen an einer Online-Umfrage teil, es wurden sieben problemzentrierte Interviews, sowie eine Gruppendiskussion und eine teilnehmende Beobachtung durchgeführt. Folgende Schlussfolgerungen gehen jedoch nach der Auswertung über die ursprüngliche Forschungsfrage hinaus: Die befragte Gruppe erkennt politische Aspekte im Veganismus, das Zugehörigkeitsgefühl zur veganen Community ist fluide, der Identitätsbildungsprozess verläuft in Auseinandersetzung mit der imaginären Community, die Produktion veganer Stereotype ist ein umstrittenes Feld im Veganismus, holistische Aspekte sind in der veganen Community verankert, Konsum und Systemkritik spielen eine zentrale Rolle in der politischen Identität und intersektionales Denken im Rahmen eines veganen Lebensstils bleibt eine Herausforderung. Die vorliegenden Ergebnisse sollen weitere Forschungen in den Verknüpfungen zwischen Veganismus, holistischen Weltbildern und Systemkritik anregen.
description: This thesis has two major purposes: (1) to investigate how the political identity of vegans in Austria is constructed by both society and themselves, and (2) to demonstrate how and why processes of vegan identity building are partly conflicted. To examine this rarely researched topic, quantitative as well as qualitative methods were combined. 204 People participated in an online-survey, seven problem-centered interviews, a focus group and a participartory observation were conducted. The results suggest, that the field of political identity within the vegan community offers far more than the original research question had aimed to touch: the respondents acknowledge political aspects of veganism, but their sense of belonging to the vegan community is a controversial issue. Vegan, political identity building interferes with ones own framing of the vegan community. The production of vegan stereotypes is a contentious field and aspects of a holistic lifestyle are rooted within the vegan community. Consumption and a critical view of the system in which we live are vital to the political identity of vegans. But intersectional thinking is still a challenging topic within the the vegan lifestyle. The results demand further research into the interrelations between holism, critical views of the political system and veganism.

title: Sprachdiagnostik bei mehrsprachigen Kindern – Möglichkeiten & Grenzen
Creators: name: Gruber, Maria
Year: 2018

description: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Sprachdiagnostik von mehrsprachigen Kindern, die von einer spezifischen Sprachentwicklungsstörung (SSES) betroffen sind. In der Praxis stellt die Diagnostik im bilingualen Kontext eine große Herausforderung für die Tester und Testerinnen dar, da bisher noch keine Testverfahren entwickelt wurden, die typische Charakteristika der mehrsprachigen Sprachentwicklung miteinbeziehen. Aktuelle linguistische Forschungsergebnisse im Bereich der kindlichen Mehrsprachigkeit werden gegenübergestellt und diskutiert. Mithilfe des Vergleichs können nach aktuellem Forschungsstand noch keine eindeutigen Implikationen für die optimale Sprachdiagnostik bei bilingualen Kindern abgeleitet werden. Ein weiterer Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt auf der Diagnostik von früh sukzessiv türkisch-deutschsprachigen Kindern. Aufgrund eines sprachtypologischen Vergleichs der Sprachen Türkisch und Deutsch sollen mögliche Erwerbsschwierigkeiten von früh sukzessiv türkisch-deutschsprachigen Kindern abgeleitet werden. Die abgeleiteten Erwerbsschwierigkeiten werden mit Ergebnissen aktueller Studien ergänzt. Anschließend werden ausgewählte Diagnostikmaterialien im deutschsprachigen Raum für türkisch-deutschsprachige Kinder nach sprachtypologischen Gesichtspunkten evaluiert. Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ist das standardisierte Diagnostikmaterial „LiSe-DaZ“ anhand des Sprachvergleichs geeigneter als die anderen vorgestellten und in der Praxis angewendeten Diagnostikmaterialien.

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: AND BACKGROUNDIt has been recognized for many years that there are a substantial number of children who are inadequately endowed with intelligence or intellectual capacity. Their mental deficiencies are frequently serious enough to preclude profitable or useful participation in any of the educational programs intended to benefit the much greater number of average or normal children.
