description: Identifying logical errors in complex, incomplete or even contradictory and overall heterogeneous data like students' experimentation protocols is challenging. Recognizing the limitations of current evaluation methods, we investigate the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) for automatically identifying student errors and streamlining teacher assessments. Our aim is to provide a foundation for productive, personalized feedback. Using a dataset of 65 student protocols, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system based on the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 series was developed and tested against human raters. Our results indicate varying levels of accuracy in error detection between the AI system and human raters. The AI system can accurately identify many fundamental student errors, for instance, the AI system identifies when a student is focusing the hypothesis not on the dependent variable but solely on an expected observation (acc. = 0.90), when a student modifies the trials in an ongoing investigation (acc. = 1), and whether a student is conducting valid test trials (acc. = 0.82) reliably. The identification of other, usually more complex errors, like whether a student conducts a valid control trial (acc. = .60), poses a greater challenge. This research explores not only the utility of AI in educational settings, but also contributes to the understanding of the capabilities of LLMs in error detection in inquiry-based learning like experimentation.

description: Abstract
This study aims to analyze the social work criminal sanctions as a form of restorative justice in criminal law reform in Indonesia. The research method used is normative juridical. The results showed that 1) the concept of social work criminal sanctions as the implementation of restorative justice; Criminal social sanctions are part of the manifestation of restorative justice. The urgency of implementing restorative justice is currently considering the effectiveness of criminal sanctions in Indonesia which tend to have a deterrent effect on the perpetrators. Through social work criminal sanctions, it will trigger the emergence of shame for the prisoners and guilt for the actions committed, 2) regulation of social work criminal sanctions in the reform of criminal law in Indonesia; Criminal social work (community service order) which has been adopted into the Draft Criminal Code is a form of criminal sanction that makes social work punishment as another alternative to the deprivation of freedom / freedom.

description: Scientific data is encoded and described with the aim of supporting retrieval, meaningful interpretation and reuse. Encoding standards for datasets like FGDC, DwC, EML typically include tagged metadata elements along with the encoded data, suggesting that, per the Dublin Core 1:1 principle, those elements apply to one and only one entity (a specimen, observation, dataset, etc.). However, in practice vocabularies are often used to describe different dimensions of scientific data collection and communication processes. Discriminating these aspects offers a more precise account of how symbols and the propositions they express acquire the status of “data” and “data content,” respectively. In this poster we present an analysis of species occurrence records basecd on the Systematic Assertion Model (SAM) [DWS]. SAM is a framework for describing the encoding and representation of scientific data, bridging the gap between data preservation models and discipline-specific scientific ontologies. The model is intended to be general enough for any scientific domain, and not bound to any particular methodology or field of study. Since species occurrence records are a kind of data that is frequent re-used, migrated across systems and shared they are a good target for analysis. Sample data is reviewed in the context of SAM, and analyzed with respect to the provenance events, entities, and relationships governing our definitions of data and data content. The exercise serves to: 1. highlight targets for data description (expression, content, assertion, justification). 2. inform the discovery of anomalous or missing contextual/background information. 3. frame a comparison of generic metadata standards (e.g. Dublin Core) with standards created specifically for scientific use (FGDC, DwC, EML). 4. clarify competing criteria for the identification of data that is tied to the scientific assertions carried by a dataset, and not specific to the details of a format or encoding.

The compound crystallizes in the tetragonal P4/nmm space group at 300 K and in the orthorhombic Cmma space group at 100 K; attempts to refine the low temperature data in the monoclinic P112/n space group diverged. On the basis of both resistive and magnetic analyses the tetragonal to orthorhombic phase transition can be located at T about 140 K.

description: We discuss an extension of the scalar auxiliary variable approach, which was originally introduced by Shen et al. ([Shen, Xu, Yang, J. Comput. Phys., 2018]) for the discretization of deterministic gradient flows. By introducing an additional scalar auxiliary variable, this approach allows to derive a linear scheme, while still maintaining unconditional stability. Our extension augments the approximation of the evolution of this scalar auxiliary variable with higher order terms, which enables its application to stochastic partial differential equations. Using the stochastic Allen--Cahn equation as a prototype for nonlinear stochastic partial differential equations with multiplicative noise, we propose an unconditionally energy stable, linear, fully discrete finite element scheme based on our augmented scalar auxiliary variable method. Recovering a discrete version of the energy estimate and establishing Nikolskii estimates with respect to time, we are able to prove convergence of discrete solutions towards pathwise unique martingale solutions by applying Jakubowski's generalization of Skorokhod's theorem. A generalization of the Gyöngy--Krylov characterization of convergence in probability to quasi-Polish spaces finally provides convergence of fully discrete solutions towards strong solutions of the stochastic Allen--Cahn equation. Finally, we present numerical simulations underlining the practicality of the scheme and the importance of the introduced augmentation terms.

description: In this paper we study a risk-minimizing hedging problem for a semimartingale incomplete financial market where d+1 assets are traded continuously and whose price is expressed in units of the numéraire portfolio. According to the so-called benchmark approach, we investigate the (benchmarked) risk-minimizing strategy in the case where there are restrictions on the available information. More precisely, we characterize the optimal strategy as the integrand appearing in the Galtchouk-Kunita-Watanabe decomposition of the benchmarked claim under partial information and provide its description in terms of the integrands in the classical Galtchouk-Kunita-Watanabe decomposition under full information via dual predictable projections. Finally, we apply the results in the case of a Markovian jump-diffusion driven market model where the assets prices dynamics depend on a stochastic factor which is not observable by investors.

description: We consider the problem of the approximation of the solution of a one-dimensional SDE with non-globally Lipschitz drift and diffusion coefficients behaving as $x^α$, with $α>1$. We propose an (semi-explicit) exponential-Euler scheme and study its convergence through its weak approximation error. To this aim, we analyze the $C^{1,4}$ regularity of the solution of the associated backward Kolmogorov PDE using its Feynman-Kac representation and the flow derivative of the involved processes. From this, under some suitable hypotheses on the parameters of the model ensuring the control of its positive moments, we recover a rate of weak convergence of order one for the proposed exponential Euler scheme. Finally, numerical experiments are shown in order to support and complement our theoretical result.

description: The problem of identifying and re–identifying data put the notion of of ”same data” at the very heart of preservation, integration and interoperability, and many other fundamental data curation activities. However, it is also a profoundly challenging notion because the concept of data itself clearly lacks a precise and univocal definition. When science is conducted in small communicating groups, with homogeneous data these ambiguities seldom create problems and solutions can be negotiated in casual real-time conversations. However when the data is heterogeneous in encoding, content and management practices, these problems can produce costly inefficiencies and lost opportunities. We consider here the relative identity view which apparently provides the most natural interpretation of common identity statements about digitally–encoded data. We show how this view conflicts with the curatorial and management practice of “data” objects, in terms of their modeling, and common knowledge representation strategies.
title: Borderline Personality Disorder and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Unique Patterns of Emotion Reactivity and Regulation
Creators: name: DeFontes, Clara
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

description: Both borderline personality disorder (BPD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are associated with emotion dysfunction and often co-occur. Emotional reactivity is also evident in some studies in BPD and PTSD. Despite the frequent co-occurrence of these diagnoses, only a few studies have examined the independent and joint effects of BPD and PTSD on emotional functioning. Some data suggest that co-occurring PTSD may drive discordance between domains of emotional reactivity in BPD, dampening physiological reactivity but increasing subjective reactivity. Low reliance on acceptance-based emotion regulation may also account for this divergence. The current study examined the independent and interactive effects of BPD and PTSD on emotional reactivity, regulation, and concordance across physiological and subjective measures. We also examined the role of acceptance in driving concordance across physiological and subjective measures. Participants (N = 195) underwent a diagnostic interview and completed a computerized task including neutral and negative emotion inductions. We examined subjective and physiological outcomes after both inductions. Linear regressions were used to examine relationships between diagnostic group and self-reported reactivity and regulation outcomes, as well the mediating role of acceptance on discordance. Multilevel models were used to examine the associations between diagnostic criteria and time on reactivity and regulation outcomes. We found that BPD and BPDxPTSD, but not PTSD, were significantly associated with greater difficulty regulating and accepting emotions. No significant differences in physiological reactivity and regulation were present across diagnostic groups, and acceptance was not found as a mediator between diagnostic groups and discordance indices. We discuss possible interpretations of our reactivity and regulation findings. Investigating BPD and PTSD’s association with reactivity and regulation, along with the role of emotional acceptance on these outcomes, will extend our understanding of diagnostic profiles and potentially pinpoint how acceptance can be utilized to influence emotional concordance.

We consider diverging sequences $\{ y_n\}$ given by $y_0 = b$ and $y_{n+1} = f^{y_n}(a)$ with positive integers $a$ and $b$. We show such a sequence converges in $\widehat{\mathbb{Z}}$ and the limit is independent of $b$, if and only if $f$ does not become a permutation of length $p$ on $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ for any prime number $p$. We also show that $b'$-adic asymptotic approximations of the equation $f^y(a) = y$ holds in $\mathbb{N}$ for some bases $b'$.

description: We address the problem of evaluating the difference between quantum states before and after being affected by errors encoded in unitary transformations. Standard distance functions, e.g., the Bures length, are not fully adequate for such a task. Weighted distances are instead appropriate information measures to quantify distinguishability of multipartite states. Here, we employ the previously introduced weighted Bures length and the newly defined weighted Hilbert-Schmidt distance to quantify how much single-qubit Pauli errors alter cluster states. We find that different errors of the same dimension change cluster states in a different way, i.e., their detectability is in general different. Indeed, they transform an ideal cluster state into a state whose weighted distance from the input depends on the specific chosen Pauli rotation, as well as the position of the affected qubit in the graph related to the state. As these features are undetected by using standard distances, the study proves the usefulness of weighted distances to monitor key but elusive properties of many-body quantum systems.

We investigate the combinatorial implications of $Z$. We reverse the logical direction and recover $Z$ from $\sf W$. We finish with some open problems.

description: On the basis of the experimental data allowing existence of the anomalies going beyond the minimally extended Standard Model with three active neutrinos with different masses, we consider the generalized model with three active and three sterile neutrinos, one of which is relatively heavy ((3+1+2)-model). We study the basic characteristics that are used to describe the massive active and sterile neutrinos, the methods to determine the absolute scale of neutrino masses and the neutrino mass estimates based on the available experimental data. Taking into account the possible contributions of the sterile neutrinos, the dependences of the neutrino mass characteristics on the sterile neutrino mass are plotted. The results obtained can be used to interpret and to predict the results of various neutrino experiments.

description: Developing the capacity to predict black bear (Ursus americanus; bear) activity in a diversity of habitats will help conserve bear populations and their habitats and minimize human–bear conflicts. This capacity will be particularly important in areas that provide bear habitat and offer backcountry hiking and camping experiences. Bryce Canyon National Park (BRCA), located on the edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in southern Utah, USA, provides important bear habitat and offers visitors 12 backcountry campsites. To effectively manage these areas to minimize human–bear conflicts, park managers will need better information about black bear use of these campsites and other anthropogenic features in the BRCA. From 2014–2016, we studied the nature and frequency of bear activity within BRCA, with an emphasis on bear–campsite relationships, by analyzing bear activity data using radio-collared bears, remote camera monitoring of areas containing features of interest, campsite assessments, and analysis of human–bear interaction reports. We further assessed and ranked each backcountry campsite regarding its bear habitat quality, bear displacement potential, and human–bear conflict potential. Model selection showed bear preference for campsites and springs and avoidance of trails and roads. During site assessments, we identified a number of modifications to existing campsites that may help minimize human– bear interactions. Foremost among these changes is the relocation of campsites farther off-trail to avoid bears using trails. Specifically, we recommend that campsites be no closer than 200 m to permanent water sources. Finally, while the park requires the use of bear-resistant food containers, we recommend backcountry visitors also be encouraged to carry bear spray.

DESCRIPTION
Thallus short and compact, colored dirty yellow with somewhat darker perithecium. Receptacle very short, broadly triangular, with cell I slightly longer than maximum width and cell II about as long, but much broader than the former, separated from cell III by a short, horizontal septum and from cell VI by a much longer, oblique and sometimes concave septum. Cell III quadrangular, slightly longer than broad. Cell IV similar to cell III, with a small and triangular cell V in its upper, inner angle. Insertion cell dark brown, relatively thin. Outer appendage simple and unusually stout, its basal cell as broad as cell III. Inner appendage consisting of a very small basal cell bearing a single flask-shaped antheridium. Perithecium ovoid, almost one half free from the receptacle, with a short, broad and blackened tip ending in an obliquely truncate and almost flattened apex distinctly directed outwards. Length from foot to perithecial tip 123-150 µm; perithecium 76-81 × 39-41 µm.
REMARKS
The very stocky habitus paired with the stout outer appendage makes this new species distinguishable at first sight. Laboulbenia assingii, sp. nov., is likely allied to L. kenyensis W.Rossi & Santam. parasitic on Mimogonus rossii Bordoni from Kenya, which also has a simple outer appendage and a single antheridium, but the latter species has a more slender appendage, elongate perithecium, much longer basal and suprabasal cells forming a geniculate receptacle, as well as other minor differences (Rossi & Santamaría 2000).

description: Birdstrikes to aircrafts are increasing on an annual basis and pose significant aviation safety risks. Identification of the birds involved is key to developing mitigation strategies. Often the only information available to make identifications are feather and/or tissue samples. Relying on feathers alone to identify the bird species requires special expertise and access to museum collections for specimen comparisons. In 2017, feathers and tissue samples were recovered from the engine cowling of an airplane that had just landed at the Oliver Reginald (O. R.) Tambo international airport in South Africa after striking a bird at 3,353 m. To confirm the bird species, we sequenced a region of cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) for the unknown sample and compared the results to the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD) and National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank databases. Comparisons to these databases indicated that the species involved in the birdstrike incident was a white stork (Ciconia ciconia; 99.6–100% similarity). This was the first known record of a white stork involved in a birdstrike in South Africa and is important because it provided evidence of a high-altitude birdstrike. Availability of publicly accessible DNA barcoding databases that include all potential bird species from various geographic regions is a valuable tool in species identification and can aid wildlife management strategies at airports to reduce the risks associated with birdstrikes.

description: Linking a coronagraph instrument to a spectrograph via a single mode optical fiber is a pathway towards detailed characterization of exoplanet atmospheres with current and future ground- and space-based telescopes. However, given the extreme brightness ratio and small angular separation between planets and their host stars, the planet signal-to-noise ratio will likely be limited by the unwanted coupling of starlight into the fiber. To address this issue, we utilize a wavefront control loop and a deformable mirror to systematically reject starlight from the fiber by measuring what is transmitted through the fiber. The wavefront control algorithm is based on the formalism of electric field conjugation (EFC), which in our case accounts for the spatial mode selectivity of the fiber. This is achieved by using a control output that is the overlap integral of the electric field with the fundamental mode of a single mode fiber. This quantity can be estimated by pair-wise image plane probes injected using a deformable mirror. We present simulation and laboratory results that demonstrate our approach offers a significant improvement in starlight suppression through the fiber relative to a conventional EFC controller. With our experimental setup, which provides an initial normalized intensity of $3\times10^{-4}$ in the fiber at an angular separation of $4λ/D$, we obtain a final normalized intensity of $3\times 10^{-6}$ in monochromatic light at $λ=635$~nm through the fiber (100x suppression factor) and $2\times 10^{-5}$ in $Δλ/λ=8%$ broadband light about $λ=625$~nm (10x suppression factor). The fiber-based approach improves the sensitivity of spectral measurements at high contrast and may serve as an integral part of future space-based exoplanet imaging missions as well as ground-based instruments.

description: European wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are an introduced invasive species that now constitute a major threat to agriculture and the natural ecology of the environments they now inhabit. Wild pigs also carry many diseases known to infect wildlife, humans, and livestock. Two of these diseases, pseudorabies (PRV) and brucellosis, constitute major diseases in the United States. Better data are needed regarding the prevalence of these diseases in wild pigs to understand and manage the potential risks to wildlife, humans, and livestock. From July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2017, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency personnel trapped and euthanized 4,727 wild pigs, of which 2,991 were tested for PRV and brucellosis. Of the wild pigs successfully tested and county recorded, 2.52% (73/[2,829+73]) were positive for PRV antibodies and 2.09% (59/[2,768+59]) were positive for brucellosis antibodies. Although the overall incidence of PRV and brucellosis seropositive wild pigs was low across the state, there were counties with high prevalence of past exposure. Disease issues will likely increase as wild pig populations expand across Tennessee. Efforts to educate the public regarding the disease potential of wild pigs should be increased and options made available for control.

description: Scaling phenomena have been intensively studied during the past decade in the context of complex networks. As part of these works, recently novel methods have appeared to measure the dimension of abstract and spatially embedded networks. In this paper we propose a new dimension measurement method for networks, which does not require global knowledge on the embedding of the nodes, instead it exploits link-wise information (link lengths, link delays or other physical quantities). Our method can be regarded as a generalization of the spectral dimension, that grasps the network's large-scale structure through local observations made by a random walker while traversing the links. We apply the presented method to synthetic and real-world networks, including road maps, the Internet infrastructure and the Gowalla geosocial network. We analyze the theoretically and empirically designated case when the length distribution of the links has the form P(r) ~ 1/r. We show that while previous dimension concepts are not applicable in this case, the new dimension measure still exhibits scaling with two distinct scaling regimes. Our observations suggest that the link length distribution is not sufficient in itself to entirely control the dimensionality of complex networks, and we show that the proposed measure provides information that complements other known measures.

description: Human population growth and habitat loss have exacerbated human–wildlife conflicts worldwide. We explored trends in human–wildlife conflicts (HWCs) in Chile using scientific and official reports to identify areas and species with higher risk of conflicts and tools available for their prevention and mitigation. The puma (Puma concolor) was considered the most frequent predator; however, fox (Lycalopex spp.) and free-ranging or feral dog (Canis lupus familiaris) attacks were also common. Our results suggest that the magnitude of puma conflicts may be overestimated. Domestic sheep (Ovis spp.) and poultry (Galliformes) were the most common species predated. Livestock losses were widespread across Chile but were highest in San Jose de Maipo, located in central Chile, and Cochrane, La Unión, and Lago Verde in south Chile municipalities. Livestock guardian dogs and the livestock insurance, as a part of the Agriculture Insurance of Chile, were identified as the most promising tools to mitigate HWCs, short- and mid-term, respectively. However, longer-term strategies should focus on improving livestock management through extension (i.e., farmer education) programs for local communities. In Chile, HWCs negatively impact small farmers and wild carnivore populations. An interinstitutional and interdisciplinary strategy integrating input from government and nongovernmental organizations, farmers, and academia is needed to achieve effective carnivore conservation in the long-term.

description: In recent years, Siamese network based trackers have significantly advanced the state-of-the-art in real-time tracking. Despite their success, Siamese trackers tend to suffer from high memory costs, which restrict their applicability to mobile devices with tight memory budgets. To address this issue, we propose a distilled Siamese tracking framework to learn small, fast and accurate trackers (students), which capture critical knowledge from large Siamese trackers (teachers) by a teacher-students knowledge distillation model. This model is intuitively inspired by the one teacher vs. multiple students learning method typically employed in schools. In particular, our model contains a single teacher-student distillation module and a student-student knowledge sharing mechanism. The former is designed using a tracking-specific distillation strategy to transfer knowledge from a teacher to students. The latter is utilized for mutual learning between students to enable in-depth knowledge understanding. Extensive empirical evaluations on several popular Siamese trackers demonstrate the generality and effectiveness of our framework. Moreover, the results on five tracking benchmarks show that the proposed distilled trackers achieve compression rates of up to 18$\times$ and frame-rates of $265$ FPS, while obtaining comparable tracking accuracy compared to base models.

description: We describe two alternative interpretations of OAIS Representation Information (CCSDS, 2002), and show that both are flawed. The first is insufficient to formalize a model of preservation, and the second leads to category mistakes in conceptualizing the nature of digital artifacts. This analysis is based on earlier work developing a framework for the application of significant properties to datasets (Sacchi et al, 2011).

description: We identified causes, impact, and traditional management measures of human– wildlife conflict (HWC) in and around Borena Sayint National Park, Ethiopia. We employed questionnaires, focus group discussions, direct observations, and key informant interviews to collect data. The respondents perceived an increase in the number of wildlife population (56 respondents; 42.4%) followed by human proximity to park areas (44 respondents; 33.3%) as the main causes of HWC. The respondents perceived leopards (Panthera pardus) and spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) among the top livestock depredators while grivet monkeys (Cercopethicus aethiops) and porcupines (Hystrix cristata) were perceived as notorious crop raiders. Gelada baboons (Theropithecus gelada) were identified as both crop raiding and livestock depredator wildlife species. A majority of the respondents (113; 85.6%) perceived both crop and livestock damage as impact of wildlife on humans. Guarding was reported as the main traditional measure of conflict management. The incidents have caused economic loss to the livelihood of the local community and have adverse impacts on wildlife conservation. We recommend community-based ecotourism to mitigate the conflict.
