description: Hundreds of dedicated analysis techniques for highly configurable systems have been conceived, many of them able to analyze properties for all possible system configurations. Unfortunately, it is largely unknown whether these techniques are adopted in practice, whether they address actual needs, or which strategies practitioners apply. We present a study [MNM+18] of analysis practices and needs in industry based on surveys and interviews. We confirm that properties considered in the literature (e.g., reliability) are relevant and that consistency between variability models and artifacts is critical, but that the majority of analyses for specifications of configuration options (a.k.a., variability model analysis) is not perceived as needed. We identified pragmatic analysis strategies, including practices to avoid the need for analysis. We discuss analyses that are missing and synthesize our insights into suggestions for future research.

description: Misinformation amplified by political elites can lead to an increase in racism and discrimination against racial and ethnic minorities and other populations who experience vulnerabilities. Politically-motivated misinformation, as observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, can have far-ranging public health consequences, including negative physical and emotional health outcomes. Misinformation, political or otherwise, and racist rhetoric must be categorically rejected. Scientists and the general public have a moral duty to advocate against and repudiate the racialization of disease and racist speech in all forms (Yore, 2020).

description: We start with an n-point correlation function in a conformal gauge theory. We show that a special limit produces a polygonal Wilson loop with $n$ sides. The limit takes the $n$ points towards the vertices of a null polygonal Wilson loop such that successive distances $x^2_{i,i+1} \to 0$. This produces a fast moving particle that generates a "frame" for the Wilson loop. We explain in detail how the limit is approached, including some subtle effects from the propagation of a fast moving particle in the full interacting theory. We perform perturbative checks by doing explicit computations in N=4 super-Yang-Mills.

Civic integration policy? : the impact of European civic integration programs on immigrant well-being, perceptions of belonging, and value adoption
Creators: name: Brinkmeyer, Clara Louisa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Civic integration policies have emerged across a variety of Western European states as a strategy to improve the integration outcomes of non-European immigrants through obligatory programs of language instruction, employment counselling, and civic education. While these programs may facilitate integration through the promotion of ‘citizen-like’ skills, such as language and country knowledge, scholars caution that civic integration policies may also have exclusionary effects and separate some immigrants from membership in the national community by restricting their entry into the country and evoking the notion that certain immigrants are fundamentally different from natives. This study examines how the paradoxical entanglement of inclusion and exclusion in civic integration policy affects the subjective integration perceptions of participating immigrants. Using a difference-in-difference approach and data from eight rounds of the European Social Survey (2002-2017), it investigates how civic integration requirements impact the life satisfaction, perceptions of belonging, and value adoption of third-country nationals across fifteen countries in Western Europe. I find that programs of language instruction, employment counselling, and civic education increase immigrant well-being but do not exert any effect on immigrants’ sense of belonging or attitudes. The results of this study suggest that civic integration programs overall benefit immigrants and facilitate their settlement in the host country. Notions of exclusion within the programs do not appear to play a significant role in predicting feelings of belonging among participating immigrants.

description: In Model-Driven Software Development, models are processed automatically to support the creation, build, and execution of systems. A large variety of dedicated model-transformation languages exists, promising to efficiently realize the automated processing of models. To investigate the actual benefit of using such specialized languages, we performed a large-scale controlled experiment in which 78 subjects solved 231 individual tasks using three languages. The experiment sheds light on commonalities and differences between model transformation languages (ATL, QVT-O) and on benefits of using them in common development tasks (comprehension, change, and creation) against a modern general-purpose language (Xtend). The results of our experiment show no statistically significant benefit of using a dedicated transformation language over a modern general-purpose language. However, we were able to identify several aspects of transformation programming where domain-specific transformation languages do appear to help, including copying objects, context identification, and conditioning the computation on types.

description: A self activated siphon, which is also known as self-siphon or self-priming siphon, is simulated using molecular dynamics (MD) method in order to study its behavior, especially why it has a critical height that prevents fluid from flowing through it. The trajectory of the fluid interface with air in front of the flow or the head is also fitted the trajectory modeled by parametric equations, which is derived from geometry construction of the self-siphon. Numerical equations solved using MD method is derived from equations of motion of the head which is obtained by introducing all considered forces influencing the movement of it. Time duration needed for fluid to pass the entire tube of the self-siphon, τ, obtained from the simulation is compared quantitatively to the observation data from the previous work and it shows inverse behavior. Length of the three vertical segments are varied independently using a parameter for each segment, which are N_5, N_3, and N_1. Room parameters of N_5, N_3, and N_1 are constructed and the dependency of τ to these parameters are discussed.

description: Let $(Z_{n})$ be a supercritical branching process in a random environment $ξ$, and $W$ be the limit of the normalized population size $Z_{n}/\mathbb{E}[Z_{n}|ξ]$. We show large and moderate deviation principles for the sequence $\log Z_{n}$ (with appropriate normalization). For the proof, we calculate the critical value for the existence of harmonic moments of $W$, and show an equivalence for all the moments of $Z_{n}$. Central limit theorems on $W-W_n$ and $\log Z_n$ are also established.
Evaluating the Impact of Metacognitive Reflection and Insight Therapy on Social Functioning in Schizophrenia

description: Objective: Social functioning encompasses interactions with people across situations of varying complexity. Given the frequency of observed social impairments in individuals with schizophrenia, there is a need to identify mechanisms that influence social functioning impairments. One proposed mechanism is metacognition, a mental process that enables the integration and interpretation of mental states and experiences. Impaired metacognition can inhibit one’s ability to engage and navigate through our social world. In individuals with schizophrenia, both social functioning and metacognitive deficits are profound. This study examined three hypotheses. Following Metacognitive Reflection and Insight Therapy (MERIT), (1) individuals will show improvements in social functioning; (2) individuals will show improvements in metacognitive abilities; and (3) improvements in social functioning will be associated with improved metacognitive abilities. Method: Using secondary data from a MERIT therapy feasibility study, data collected from the active condition groups (e.g., individuals with schizophrenia, n =16) at pre-and post-assessment were analyzed using paired samples t-tests for primary outcomes and hierarchical linear regressions to assess metacognition as an underlying mechanism of change. Results: Paired samples t-tests found no significant improvement in social functioning or metacognition. In contrast to the hypothesis, metacognitive abilities significantly declined. When subscales were examined, two subscales (self-reflectivity and awareness of others) significantly decreased. The post-hoc analysis found significant improvements in overall symptoms and disorganization. Lastly, metacognition did not significantly predict post-intervention social functioning. Conclusions: Measurement modality and the length of intervention may help explain the null findings observed in this study. The improvement in overall and disorganized symptoms could indicate that symptom reductions precede social functioning and metacognition changes. Given that the results from this trial were not aligned with previous studies, further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of MERIT on social functioning and metacognition in schizophrenia.

Understanding the human health benefits of urban green space across the life course by integrating epidemiological and novel geospatial approaches
Creators: name: Jarvis, Ingrid
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Growing research indicates that natural environments – including green and blue spaces – are beneficial for human health. However, evidence gaps remain concerning the health associations with different types of natural environments and forms of human-nature contact, pathways underlying nature-health associations, and health associations across different life stages. To address these gaps, this dissertation examined the relationship between natural environments and human health among residents of Metro Vancouver, Canada. First, a method for estimating and comparing different forms of human-nature contact was developed, specifically access (i.e., living within proximity of a public green space) and exposure (i.e., quantity of natural and non-natural features surrounding residence). Next, these exposure metrics were used to analyze the association between access and exposure to natural environments and self-reported general health, mental health, and common mental disorders among respondents of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). The exposure metrics were likewise utilized in analyses investigating the association between exposure to natural environments and early childhood development, as measured by teacher-ratings on the Early Development Instrument (EDI). Finally, underlying pathways of nature-health associations were analyzed by evaluating potential mediation by reductions in traffic-related air pollution and noise. In general, natural environments were positively associated with human health. Nature-health associations varied according to land cover type. Specifically, water and some vegetation types were associated with lower odds of poor self-reported health among respondents of the CCHS, while exposure to tree and grass cover was positively associated with children’s EDI scores. Conversely, exposure to paved surfaces was adversely associated with self-reported health and children’s early development. Furthermore, nature-health associations varied according to form of nature contact, with more consistent associations observed for exposure than access. Finally, positive associations between green space exposure and early childhood development were partially explained by reductions in traffic-related air pollution and noise levels. This dissertation provides new empirical evidence of the benefits of natural environments on human health. Results support urban planning and policy frameworks that increase the availability of natural environments to contribute to optimal population health across the life course.

description: My research focused on improving the diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is a risk factor for infertility, cardiometabolic and psychological disorders in women. 70% PCOS cases go undetected due to unclear parameter values to differentiate women with PCOS from those without PCOS. I defined normal and abnormal PCOS parameter values in adolescents, and observed values that are lower than the currently used ones. I further established a PCOS dataset from across the world to re-define PCOS diagnosis. Additionally, my research demonstrated that irregular menstrual cycles may predict heart disease and diabetes over 20-years in adult women from Australia.

description: Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. Microbiota is believed to be associated with GC. Growing evidences showed Helicobacter pylori played a key role in GC development. However, little was known about the microbiota in gastric juices and tissues in GC patients, and thus it was difficult to understand other potential microbial causation for GC. Here, we collected the gastric juice and surgically removed gastric tissues from GC patients to give insight into GC microbiota. Most microbes identified in the gastric samples were opportunistic pathogens or resident flora of the human microbiota. Further network analyses identified five opportunistic pathogens as keystone species. H. pylori is the direct cause of GC, but other opportunistic microbes might also function in GC development. The microbiota in the gastric juice and gastric tissue of the GC patients were complex, and some dominant opportunistic pathogens contributed to the GC development. This study introduces microbiota in gastric juice, gastric normal tissue and gastric cancer tissue of GC patients, and highlights the potential keystone microbes functioned during GC development.

description: We investigate tensor modes in inflationary scenarios from the point of view of Ashtekar variables and their generalizations labelled by Immirzi parameter γ, which we'll assume imaginary. By defining the classical perturbed Hamiltonian, we reproduce, on-shell, the usual expression found in cosmological perturbation theory. However the quantum Hamiltonian displays significant differences, namely in the vacuum energy and fluctuations of the various modes. Graviton states are represented by combinations of metric and connection variables. It turns out that half of these modes have negative energy but after defining the inner product we conclude that they are non-physical and should be selected out. We are left with the usual graviton modes but with a chiral asymmetry in the the vacuum energy and fluctuations. The latter depends on γand on the ordering prescription (namely in the Hamiltonian constraint). Such an effect would leave a distinctive imprint in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background, thus finally engaging quantum gravity in meaningful experimental test.

Scattering cross section resonance originating from a spectral singularity

description: Using techniques of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, scattering properties of Hermitian Hamiltonians, which are related to non-Hermitian ones by similarity transformations, are studied. We have found that the scattering matrix of the Hermitian Hamiltonian coincides with the phase factor of the non-unitary scattering matrix of the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. The possible presence of a spectral singularity in a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian translates into a pronounced resonance in the scattering cross section of its Hermitian counterpart. This opens a way for detecting spectral singularities in scattering experiments; although a singular point is inaccessible for the Hermitian Hamiltonian, the Hamiltonian "feels" the presence of the singularity if it is "close enough". We also show that cross sections of the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian do not exhibit any resonance behavior and explain the resonance behavior of the Hermitian Hamiltonian cross section by the fact that corresponding scattering matrix, up to a background scattering matrix, is a square root of the Breit-Wigner scattering matrix.

Language and literacies pedagogies in a language introduction program in Sweden : lessons from teachers and youths
Creators: name: Smith, Michelle B.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: In 2015, 39,000 youths between the ages of 16 to 18 years arrived in Sweden, primarily from Syria, and Afghanistan, but also Iraq, Somalia and Eritrea (Migrationsverket, 2015). The Swedish National Agency for Education (i.e., Skolverket) reported that enrollment in Language Introduction Programs (LIPs) of youth seeking asylum and refuge climbed from 10,200 in 2014 to 23,100 in 2016 (Skolverket, 2014, 2016). Challenges to meet the mandated requirements to exit the Language Introduction Program and successfully graduate before youth age-out of upper secondary school at age 20 are immense, particularly for those students from refugee backgrounds with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE). This qualitative study sought to understand what four experienced language teachers in a Language Introduction Program perceived as the needs and challenges (particularly in English) of SLIFE and the most promising pedagogical responses. The study also explored the potential of a translanguaging/semiotic pedagogy in an identity-text project (two units of study) to draw on the everyday literacies, experiences, and interests of the youths (n=7) for identity affirmation and investment in language and literacy learning. The theoretical frameworks draw from Crosslinguistic Translanguaging Theory (CTT) (Cummins, 2021), the Academic Expertise Framework (Cummins, 2001), and conceptions of identity and investment (Darvin & Norton, 2015), plus related translanguaging/semiotic pedagogies (Cummins, 2021; Cummins & Early, 2011). Data were gathered through field notes, focus group interviews with the teachers, student artifacts and texts, recordings of classroom interactions, and exit-interviews with the youths. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2012). Findings from educators’ perceptions of the challenges of working with SLIFE suggest three interrelated themes: educational challenges (predominant), structural (organizational and legal) stresses, and social-emotional challenges. Upon reanalysis, educators’ dilemmas around “what” to teach and “how” to teach SLIFE are also reported. The findings from the study of the identity-text project contributed to better understandings about the potential of translanguaging/semiotic pedagogies with youth from refugee backgrounds to support identity affirmation and investment in language and literacies learning, including the youths’ dilemmatic perceptions. Implications for pedagogical practices are discussed, plus limitations of the study, and directions for future research.

description: Industrie- und Wettbewerbspolitik erfahren derzeit nicht nur auf globaler Ebene verstärkte Aufmerksamkeit, sondern werden auch im Gesundheitswesen wieder intensiver diskutiert. Dies betrifft insbesondere die Fusionskontrolle im Krankenhaussektor. Der vorliegende Beitrag fasst relevante Grundlagen zusammen und diskutiert aktuelle Vorschläge zur Reform des vom Bundeskartellamt praktizierten Herangehens. Er arbeitet ferner heraus, welche Aspekte bei der Weiterentwicklung der Fusionskontrolle zu berücksichtigen sind. Es zeigt sich, dass einfache Ansätze, die beispielsweise an der Erreichbarkeit eines alternativen Krankenhauses ansetzen, zu kurz greifen. Neben der Klärung ordnungspolitischer Grundsatzfragen sollte für die Konzeptionierung berücksichtigt werden, inwiefern die vorgeschlagene Methode in der Lage ist, Entwicklungen z.B. hinsichtlich intersektoraler Angebote oder neuer Vergütungsformen abzubilden. Auch ist zu prüfen, welche Instrumentarien zur Verfügung stehen, negative Effekte in konzentrierten Krankenhausmärkten abzumildern. Der derzeitige Forschungsstand zu den mittel- und langfristigen Auswirkungen unterschiedlicher Wettbewerbsintensitäten im deutschen Krankenhausmarkt ist mangelhaft, sodass sich auch diesbezüglich deutlicher Handlungsbedarf ergibt.

Testing the Distance-Duality Relation with a Combination of Cosmological Distance Observations

description: In this paper, we propose an accurate test of the distance-duality (DD) relation, $η=D_{L}(z)(1+z)^{-2}/D_{A}(z)=1$ (where $D_{L}$ and $D_{A}$ are the luminosity distances and angular diameter distances, respectively), with a combination of cosmological observational data of Type Ia Supernave (SNe Ia) from Union2 set and the galaxy cluster sample under an assumption of spherical model. In order to avoid bias brought by redshift incoincidence between observational data and to consider redshift error bars of both clusters and SNe Ia in analysis, we carefully choose the SNe Ia points which have the minimum acceptable redshift difference of the galaxy cluster sample ($|Δz|_{\rm min} =σ_{z, \rm SN}+σ_{z, \rm cluster}$). By assuming $η$ a constant and functions of the redshift parameterized by six different expressions, we find that there exists no conceivable evidence for variations in the DD relation concerning with observational data, since it is well satisfied within $1σ$ confidence level for most cases. Further considering different values of $Δz$ in constraining, we also find that the choosing of $Δz$ may play an important role in this model-independent test of the distance-duality relation for the spherical sample of galaxy clusters.

description: This paper was published at the 40th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) in May 2018. The authors propose a novel approach to establish trace links among software development artifacts. In particular, it allows to automatically link commits made in a projects’ version control systems (such as git) to respective issues in the projects’ issue tracker (e. g. Atlassian Jira). Besides augmenting an existing code base with additional trace links, the approach enables active recommendation of issues to the developer while performing a new commit to the version control system. This simplifies the overall development workflow. The proposed method is based on state-of-the-art machine learning techniques and serves as a basic building block in establishing project wide traceability. It’s feasibility, completeness, and usefulness was successfully evaluated through six empirical studies as well as one human study. The work was honored with an ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award.

description: Inner source (IS) is the use of open source software development practices within an organization. The organization still develops proprietary software but internally opens up its development. The research area lacks a systematic assessment of known research work: No model exists that defines IS thoroughly. Various case studies provide insights into IS programs in a specific context but only few publications apply a broader perspective. To resolve this, we performed an extensive literature survey and analyzed 43 IS related publications. Using qualitative data analysis methods, we developed a model of elements that constitute IS. We present a classification framework for IS and apply it to lay out a map of known IS endeavors. Further, we present qualitative models summarizing the benefits and challenges of IS. This article is an extended abstract of [CR17].

description: Microservices are known as an architecture for building scalable applications running in the cloud. However, they also promise high maintainability due to smaller code bases and strong component separation, making them an interesting option for software modernization. We present a migration process to decompose an existing application into microservices, and report on experiences from applying this process in an ongoing legacy modernization project.
