The Capability of Arab Muslim American Women to Care for Older Adults
Creators: name: Abdelrahim, Randa
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: The capability approach (CA), a theoretical framework of well-being, explores the impact of policies on the well-being of individuals. Previous research using the CA has illustrated that family caregiving is a valued activity that contributes to well-being. However, research on understanding the impact of policies on preserving the opportunity to be a family caregiver for older adults is inadequate. In particular, research examining policies impacting family caregiving for Arab American Muslim women remains scarce. Therefore, this study explores the impact of family caregiving policies on shaping the opportunity to care for older adults among Arab American Muslim women in Cook County suburbs.
 Guided by institutional ethnography, this study was conducted in two phases. In the initial phase, interviews with ten Arab American women were conducted to identify the value of caregiving and barriers to accessing community resources. In the second phase, interviews with three providers and an environmental scan of existing resources and policies were conducted to identify relevant documents that shape the family caregiving system in Illinois. The analysis of both phases revealed barriers to the opportunity to be a family caregiver for older adults. Arab American women lacked familiarity with services for caregivers and often utilized paid caregiving as a resource to support themselves. Further barriers included the limited availability of culturally meaningful services, which hindered the participants’ ability to participate in meaningful activities beyond caregiving. In addition, the results showed that the processes outlined in service regulations, which are established by policies, do not necessarily support the opportunity to be a family caregiver for Arab American Muslim women.
 This study highlights how examining the well-being of individuals in relation to what they value provides insights into the impact of policies on accessing services. By adopting a CA lens, policymakers can better understand structural disparities, such as these embedded in the processes to access services, that hinder access to services for Arab caregivers. The discussion also includes caregiving as a valued activity from a social justice perspective embedded in the CA lens.
The Role of Interpretation in Art Criticism
Creators: name: Lacy, Emily
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: My dissertation argues for a new account of interpretation in art criticism. On the received view in analytic philosophy, interpretation primarily functions to reveal the artwork's message to the audience. On my account, interpretation primarily offers a framework. When this is a good framework, it enhances the audience's experience of the artwork. Interpretations prime the audience to experience the features in a certain order, with certain associations, and as having particular relationships to one another. Additionally, I consider which features make an interpretation good or bad for art criticism, interpretation of everyday objects, and other practices that create a framework.
Social Capital Building Among Black Chicagoan Emerging Adults: Applying a Critical Race Theory Lens
Creators: name: Pitman, Imani Alexandria
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Social capital is one of the most salient factors for success. Terms such as “it’s not what you know, it’s who know” are prevalent today and capture the essence of social capital - using social connections and relationships to achieve goals or objectives. However, for African Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities, social capital access and the value of the social capital held is partially determined by one’s identity within a cultural and hierarchical society. Literature on social capital acquisition and mobilization is saturated with studies that take on a deficit- focused model and position the social capital held by minorities as less valuable. Studies assessing the social capital held and mobilized by African Americans often do so by comparing minority men and women to their white counterparts, using primarily quantitative methodologies. In doing so, studies place the deficit in the individual and suggest that membership to a racial category is the causal mechanism for the difference in social capital, not societal issues. Drawing from interviews with fourteen Black Chicagoan emerging adults, this study explored the process of social capital access and mobilization for this population and how their identity might have impacted the process. Four overarching themes emerged: 1)racial solidarity and shared experience, 2) racial and gender experiences, 3) benefits of representation, and 4) unique forms of social capital in the Black community. This study contributes to this literature by exploring the process of social capital building and utilization for African American emerging adults – a population understudied within social capital literature. Further, This study explored unique forms of social capital within the African American community created out of resistance and shared experience.

description: The equilibrium oxygen isotope fractionation factor between calcite and water (18αcalcite/H2O) is an important quantity in stable isotope geochemistry and allows in principle to infer temperature variations from carbonate δ18O if carbonate formation occurred in thermodynamic equilibrium. For this reason, many studies intended to determine the value of the oxygen isotope fractionation factor between calcite and water (18αcalcite/H2O) for a wide range of temperatures using modern cave calcite and the corresponding cave drip water or ancient speleothem carbonate and fluid inclusion samples. However, the picture that emerges from all of these studies indicates that speleothem calcite is not formed in thermodynamic equilibrium but under kinetic conditions, provoking a large variability of determined 18αcalcite/H2O values. Here we present a conceptual framework that can explain the variability of 18αcalcite/H2O values obtained by cave studies. Prior calcite precipitation (PCP) is calcite precipitation before cave drip water is dripping from the cave ceiling and impinges on the surface of a stalagmite or watch glass. Prior to the karst water dripping from the cave ceiling, PCP can occur in the karst above the cave as well as on the cave ceiling, the cave walls and on the surface of stalactites. We argue that PCP leads to increasing the δ18O value of the dissolved HCO3- (δ18OHCO3-), resulting in an oxygen isotope disequilibrium of the δ18OHCO3- values with respect to the δ18O value of water (δ18OH2O). The oxygen isotope disequilibrium between HCO3- and H2O is re-equilibrated by oxygen isotope exchange between H2O and HCO3. Depending on the temperature, the re-equilibration time varies from hours to days and is usually much longer than the residence time of the drip water on stalactites, but much shorter than the time ...

description: The weak gravitational lensing effect, small coherent distortions of galaxy images by means of a gravitational tidal field, can be used to study the relation between the matter and galaxy distribution. In this context, weak lensing has so far only been used for considering a second-order correlation function that relates the matter density and galaxy number density as a function of separation. We implement two new, third-order correlation functions that have recently been suggested in the literature, and apply them to the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey. We demonstrate that it is possible, even with already existing data, to make significant measurements of third-order lensing correlations. We develop an optimised computer code for the correlation functions. To test its reliability a set of tests are performed. The correlation functions are transformed to aperture statistics, which allow easy tests for remaining systematics in the data. In order to further verify the robustness of our measurement, the signal is shown to vanish when randomising the source ellipticities. Finally, the lensing signal is compared to crude predictions based on the halo-model. On angular scales between roughly 1 arcmin and 11 arcmin a significant third-order correlation between two lens positions and one source ellipticity is found. We discuss this correlation function as a novel tool to study the average matter environment of pairs of galaxies. Correlating two source ellipticities and one lens position yields a less significant but nevertheless detectable signal on a scale of 4 arcmin. Both signals lie roughly within the range expected by theory which supports their cosmological origin.[ABRIDGED]

description: The quantum Markovian master equation of the reduced dynamics of a harmonic oscillator coupled to a thermal reservoir is shown to possess thermal symmetry. This symmetry is revealed by a Bogoliubov transformation that can be represented by a hyperbolic rotation acting on the Liouville space of the reduced dynamics. The Liouville space is obtained as an extension of the Hilbert space through the introduction of tilde variables used in the thermofield dynamics formalism. The angle of rotation depends on the temperature of the reservoir, as well as the value of Planck's constant. This symmetry relates the thermal states of the system at any two temperatures. This includes absolute zero, at which purely quantum effects are revealed. The Caldeira-Leggett equation and the classical Fokker-Planck equation also possess thermal symmetry. We compare the thermal symmetry obtained from the Bogoliubov transformation in related fields and discuss the effects of the symmetry on the shape of a Gaussian wave packet.

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: We prove a structure theorem for almost-isometries on the three-dimensional Heisenberg group equipped with a Carnot-Caratheodory metric. The main theorem yields that almost-isometries of the Heisenberg group are of bounded distance from the composition of an isometry and a map which only alters the central coordinate. The proof of the main theorem relies on the technique of coarse differentiation, as well as the particular geometry of metric malls within the Heisenberg group.

description: Since S-parameter measurements without uncertainty cannot claim any credibility, the uncertainties in full two-port Vector Network Analyser (VNA) measurements were estimated using total complex differentials (Total Differential Errors). To express precisely a comparison relation between complex differential errors, their differential error regions (DERs) were used. To demonstrate the method in the most accurate case of a direct zero-length thru, practical results are presented for commonly used Z-parameters of a simple, two-port, DC resistive T-network, which was built and tested against frequency with a VNA measurement system extended by two lengthy transmission lines.

description: Motivated by upcoming photometric and spectroscopic surveys (Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), Manuakea Spectroscopic Explorer), we design the statistical proxies to measure the cadence effects on active galactic nuclei (AGN) variability-observables (time-lags, periodicity, and structure-function (SF)). We constructed a multiple-regression model to statistically identify the cadence-formal error pattern knowing AGN time-lags and periodicity from different surveys. We defined the simple metric for the SF's properties, accounting for the 'observed' SF's deviation relative to those obtained from the homogenously-sampled light curves. We tested the regression models on different observing strategies: the optical dataset of long light-curves of eight AGN with peculiarities and the artificial datasets based on several idealized and LSST-like cadences. The SFs metric is assessed on synthetic datasets. The regression models (for both data types) predict similar cadences for time-lags and oscillation detection, whereas for light curves with low variability ($\sim 10\%$), cadences for oscillation detection differ. For higher variability ($\sim20\%$), predicted cadences are larger than for $F_{var}\sim 10\%$. The predicted cadences are decreasing with redshift. SFs with dense and homogenous cadences are more likely to behave similarly. SFs with oscillatory signals are sensitive to the cadences, possibly impacting LSST-like operation strategy. The proposed proxies can help to select spectroscopic and photometric-surveys cadence strategies, and they will be tested further in larger samples of objects.

We present infrared and Raman spectra of these materials and show how the rotor-stator nature is reflected in their vibrational properties. We measured the vibrational spectra of the polymer phases poly(C60C8H8) and poly(C70C8H8) resulting from a solid state reaction occurring on heating. Based on the spectra we propose a connection pattern for the fullerene in poly(C60C8H8), where the symmetry of the C60 is D2h. On illuminating the C60-C8H8 cocrystal with green or blue light a photochemical reaction was observed leading to a similar product to that of the thermal polymerization.

Machine Learning and Open Science: On Risks and Challenges
Creators: name: Arvan, Mohammad
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Recent years have witnessed substantial growth in Machine Learning (ML) and Natural
Language Processing (NLP), largely fueled by the accessibility and openness of data and
models—a cornerstone of Open Science. This dissertation builds on this foundation by
integrating additional principles of Open Science—transparency, scrutiny, critique, and
reproducibility—into the study of these fields.

The dissertation extensively explores and tackles the challenges in reproducibility across
both automatic and human evaluations in ML. It begins by unraveling the hidden complexities
in evaluating uncertainty, emphasizing the necessity of rigorous statistical analysis, which
include effect size and power analysis, and acknowledges the persistent risks of false
discoveries despite careful considerations. This is complemented by a comprehensive guide
to conducting and reporting uncertainties in evaluations, presenting a crucial resource for
researchers to enhance the reliability of their findings.

Further dissecting reproducibility challenges, we investigate the trends in availability
of research artifacts and examines the impact of community-driven initiatives aimed at
improving reporting practices. Furthermore, we present reproducibility assessment of eight
scientific papers. Despite certain improvements spurred by community-driven initiatives for
better reporting practices, there remain major issues that hinder reproducibility. An in-depth
case study on the reproducibility of a text simplification pipeline reveals several overlooked
reproducibility challenges such as bugs and dependency issues. Reproducibility of human
evaluations is also scrutinized through two case studies. After observing mixed results, we
identify several factors that contribute to inconsistencies in human evaluations, including
small sample sizes and dynamic conditions. Through these analyses, the dissertation
underscores the ongoing challenges in achieving reproducibility in ML and NLP, offering
insights to bolster the reliability of future research within these dynamic fields.

description: Group-fairness in classification aims for equality of a predictive utility across different sensitive sub-populations, e.g., race or gender. Equality or near-equality constraints in group-fairness often worsen not only the aggregate utility but also the utility for the least advantaged sub-population. In this paper, we apply the principles of Pareto-efficiency and least-difference to the utility being accuracy, as an illustrative example, and arrive at the Rawls classifier that minimizes the error rate on the worst-off sensitive sub-population. Our mathematical characterization shows that the Rawls classifier uniformly applies a threshold to an ideal score of features, in the spirit of fair equality of opportunity. In practice, such a score or a feature representation is often computed by a black-box model that has been useful but unfair. Our second contribution is practical Rawlsian fair adaptation of any given black-box deep learning model, without changing the score or feature representation it computes. Given any score function or feature representation and only its second-order statistics on the sensitive sub-populations, we seek a threshold classifier on the given score or a linear threshold classifier on the given feature representation that achieves the Rawls error rate restricted to this hypothesis class. Our technical contribution is to formulate the above problems using ambiguous chance constraints, and to provide efficient algorithms for Rawlsian fair adaptation, along with provable upper bounds on the Rawls error rate. Our empirical results show significant improvement over state-of-the-art group-fair algorithms, even without retraining for fairness.

description: We consider the stability of the periodic Toda lattice (and slightly more generally of the algebro-geometric finite-gap lattice) under a short range perturbation. We prove that the perturbed lattice asymptotically approaches a modulated lattice. More precisely, let $g$ be the genus of the hyperelliptic curve associated with the unperturbed solution. We show that, apart from the phenomenon of the solitons travelling on the quasi-periodic background, the $n/t$-pane contains $g+2$ areas where the perturbed solution is close to a finite-gap solution in the same isospectral torus. In between there are $g+1$ regions where the perturbed solution is asymptotically close to a modulated lattice which undergoes a continuous phase transition (in the Jacobian variety) and which interpolates between these isospectral solutions. In the special case of the free lattice ($g=0$) the isospectral torus consists of just one point and we recover the known result. Both the solutions in the isospectral torus and the phase transition are explicitly characterized in terms of Abelian integrals on the underlying hyperelliptic curve. Our method relies on the equivalence of the inverse spectral problem to a matrix Riemann--Hilbert problem defined on the hyperelliptic curve and generalizes the so-called nonlinear stationary phase/steepest descent method for Riemann--Hilbert problem deformations to Riemann surfaces.

description: Magnetic ordering at low temperature for Ising ferromagnets manifests itself within the associated Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) random cluster representation as the occurrence of a single positive density percolating network. In this paper we investigate the percolation signature for Ising spin glass ordering -- both in short-range (EA) and infinite-range (SK) models -- within a two-replica FK representation and also within the different Chayes-Machta-Redner two-replica graphical representation. Based on numerical studies of the $\pm J$ EA model in three dimensions and on rigorous results for the SK model, we conclude that the spin glass transition corresponds to the appearance of {\it two} percolating clusters of {\it unequal} densities.

description: We investigate the strengths and limitations of the Spekkens toy model, which is a local hidden variable model that replicates many important properties of quantum dynamics. First, we present a set of five axioms that fully encapsulate Spekkens' toy model. We then test whether these axioms can be extended to capture more quantum phenomena, by allowing operations on epistemic as well as ontic states. We discover that the resulting group of operations is isomorphic to the projective extended Clifford Group for two qubits. This larger group of operations results in a physically unreasonable model; consequently, we claim that a relaxed definition of valid operations in Spekkens' toy model cannot produce an equivalence with the Clifford Group for two qubits. However, the new operations do serve as tests for correlation in a two toy bit model, analogous to the well known Horodecki criterion for the separability of quantum states.

Jüdische Intellektuelle und ihre politische Identität in der Weimarer Republik

description: The paper deals with the issue of Jewish intellectuals who, during the era of the Weimar Republic did not consider themselves primarily as Jews – even on occasion denying their Jewishness – while preferring a commitment to mostly leftist options. Regarding themselves to a lesser degree as Germans, they followed a cosmopolitan brand of humanism. Above all, they identified with the labour movement, in particular of social democratic leaning, since that movement’s conception of self was most closely allied to their own. Within the labour movement, they found themselves areas of activity, which best suited their search for a wider sense of identity. In truth, however, Jewish intellectuals remained Jews, often against their own free will, and under pressure of public opinion increasingly drifting to the right; they remained so less in the religious sense, but rather more from the point of view of their cultural, social, and intellectual history.

description: We consider propagation of high-frequency wave packets along a smooth evolving background flow whose evolution is described by a simple-wave type of solutions of hydrodynamic equations. In geometrical optics approximation, the motion of the wave packet obeys the Hamilton equations with the dispersion law playing the role of the Hamiltonian. This Hamiltonian depends also on the amplitude of the background flow obeying the Hopf-like equation for the simple wave. The combined system of Hamilton and Hopf equations can be reduced to a single ordinary differential equation whose solution determines the value of the background amplitude at the location of the wave packet. This approach extends the results obtained in Ref.~\cite{ceh-19} for the rarefaction background flow to arbitrary simple-wave type background flows. The theory is illustrated by its application to waves obeying the KdV equation.

Based on the Standard Model, the calculation shows that the weak interaction mass of left-handed polarized fermions is always greater than that of right-handed polarized fermions in flight with the same velocity in any inertial frame. The asymmetry of the weak interaction mass might be very important to the investigation of neutrino mass and would have an important significance for understanding the parity nonconservation in weak interactions.

description: We study collisions of two high-energy closed strings in the framework of $D$-dimensional general relativity. The model of a high-energy closed string is introduced as a {/it pp}-wave generated by a ring-shaped source with the radius $R$. At the instant of the collision, the positions of two strings are assumed to coincide precisely. In this setup, we study the formation of two kinds of apparent horizons (AHs): the AH of topology $S^{D-2}$ (the black hole AH) and the AH of topology $S^1/times S^{D-3}$ (the black ring AH). These two AHs are solved numerically and the conditions for the formation of the two AHs are clarified in terms of the ring radius $R$. Specifically, we demonstrate that the black ring AH forms for sufficiently large $R$. The effects of an impact parameter and the relative orientation of incoming strings in more general cases are briefly discussed.

description: A minimal permutation representation of a finite group G is a faithful G-set with the smallest possible size. We study the structure of such representations and show that for certain groups they may be obtained by a greedy construction. In these situations (except when central involutions intervene) all minimal permutation representations have the same set of orbit sizes. Using the same ideas we also show that if the size d(G) of a minimal faithful G-set is at least c|G| for some c>0 then d(G) = |G|/m + O(1) for an integer m, with the implied constant depending on c.

description: Synchronization is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature that manifests as the spectral or temporal locking of coupled nonlinear oscillators. In the field of photonics, synchronization has been implemented in various laser and oscillator systems, enabling applications including coherent beam combining and high precision pump-probe measurements. Recent experiments have also shown time-domain synchronization of Kerr frequency combs via coupling of two separate oscillators operating in the dissipative soliton [i.e., anomalous group-velocity dispersion (GVD)] regime. Here, we demonstrate all-optical synchronization of Kerr combs in the non-solitonic, normal-GVD regime in which phase-locked combs with high pump-to-comb conversion efficiencies and relatively flat spectral profiles are generated. Our results reveal the universality of Kerr comb synchronization and extend its scope beyond the soliton regime, opening a promising path towards coherently combined normal-GVD Kerr combs with spectrally flat profiles and high comb-line powers in an efficient microresonator platform.

Shaping Scepticism, Arousing Belief

description:

The visceral responses of theatrical audiences to Othello across time and place clash oddly with the scepticism often ascribed to this play, and famously discussed in Stanley Cavell’s seminal work, Disowning Knowledge (2003). The debate aroused by Cavell’s sharply philosophical, and partly psychoanalytical inquiry into Othello’s reasons for “disowning knowledge” has brought fuel to the issue of Othello’s scepticism. After taking initial stock of Cavell’s reading  and of the main objections raised against his subtle argument, this essay explores the textual and cultural reasons  for the contradiction between the shapes of scepticism moulded in Othello and the extreme emotional responses of audiences recorded by Mason Vaughan (Othello: A Contextual History, 1994). What the essay aims to highlight are the ways scepticism was deflected into potential scandal. Section one addresses the socio-cultural aspects of the early modern sceptical gaze in topical passages of Othello, with an eye on issues that mark the epistemic shift underlying the early modern philosophy of scepticism.  Reference is made mainly to the performative strategies of  inwardness – as well as to the related issues of race/colour and of military/marital service. Section two shows how Desdemona’s instability is a vehicle for deflecting extreme discursive and theatrical aspects of scepticism in Othello into potential scandal and radical improbability.

description: Next-generation sequencing has empowered genomics by making it possible to sequence genomes at a lower cost and less time compared to the traditional Sanger method. However, these improvements suffer from reduced accuracy when compared with the Sanger method. During the library preparation stage of sequencing, artefacts can be introduced that affect the reliability of a read. These artefacts can arise from biases due to the structure of the genome, such as preferential splitting of DNA between specific nucleotides, bias of adapter ligation towards certain base pair identities, and temperature dependent denaturation due to nucleotide composition. To investigate these issues a library preparation model was developed to simulate the occurrences and investigate effects of such artefacts. The implemented model simulates the DNA fragmentation, adapter ligation and PCR amplification stages of the library preparation process. A set of parameters characterizing these steps and a DNA sequence are used as input and the output is an array of values representing the number of DNA fragments that cover each position of the input sequence (“coverage”). To validate the model a Genetic Algorithm (GA) was used to find parameters that would lead to coverage values that are closely similar to what is found in empirical sequencing data. The GA was able to acquire such parameters for a subsection of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Plasmodium falciparum genomes but failed when applied to the TP53 gene of the Homo sapiens genome. From this it was deduced that the model was better at predicting coverage when applied to genomes with subregions of nucleotide repeats. To find the effects of parameters representing each step of the library preparation process the model was applied to a set of in silico generated DNA that represent different sequence structures (GC-rich, AT-rich, neutral composition and a sequence with specific areas of GC and AT rich repeats). My study found that the parameters for the fragmentation, adapter ligation and PCR steps affected coverage. I also found that a combination of parameters between consecutive steps further affected coverage. In the fragmentation step, large fragment size had a negative effect on coverage (p = 0.0), in the adapter ligation step, coverage of AT-rich sequences was affected by a terminal bias (p = 0.0). Modifying parameters for the PCR step affected the coverage of both GC and AT rich sequences due to a temperature dependent bias. Finally, an interaction between the parameters of fragmentation and other steps were found to further reduce coverage. This simulation was able to suggest parameters that need to be fine-tuned to improve coverage.

description: A proof is given of the vector identity proposed by Gubarev, Stodolsky and Zakarov that relates the volume integral of the square of a 3-vector field to non-local integrals of the curl and divergence of the field. The identity is applied to the case of the magnetic vector potential and magnetic field of a rotating charged shell. The latter provides a straightforward exercise in the use of the addition theorem of spherical harmonics.
description: Based upon the paper in Am. J. Phys., but contains also a derivation of the central result that is valid for the scalar product of two different vector fields. Also, a proof is given that the general expression for the vector potential in the Coulomb gauge satisfies the central result. A discussion is given of the requirements on the gauge function. 12 pages pdf
