The reletionship of television viewing and demographic variables with knowledge and attitudes about sexual harassment
Creators: name: Johnston, Lorri
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to explore whether television could be used as a meaningful way of raising people's awareness and knowledge about a social issue, namely, sexual harassment. The studied explored whether there was a relationship with those who watched television programs dealing with sexual harassment from those who did not watch such programs in terms of their knowledge and attitudes about sexual harassment in the workplace. Additionally, whether or not people perceived that their own attitudes changed after watching television programs about sexual harassment was also explored. A random sample of 500 men and women was drawn by computer from a large union in British Columbia. Of those randomly sampled, 239 (47.8%) returned useable surveys. Standard multiple regression analyses were performed to answer the six research questions that examined the relationship of age, gender, education level, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, experience of being sexually harassed, number of television programs watched about sexual harassment, and sources of knowledge (newspaper, radio, television, magazines, friends, information from union, other) with attitudes about and knowledge of sexual harassment and perceived change of view about sexual harassment. Simultaneous regression analysis indicated that there were four variables predictive of attitudes about sexual harassment for the entire group of survey respondents. These variables were gender, number of television programs watched, age, and information. These four predictor variables indicated that male respondents would be more tolerant and accepting of sexual harassment than female respondents; older respondents would be more tolerant and accepting of sexual harassment; respondents who watched television programs about sexual harassment, and respondents who got information from friends would be less accepting and tolerant of sexual harassment. For the knowledge criterion, simultaneous regression analysis indicated that there were two variables predictive of knowledge about sexual harassment, gender and information from friends, with gender being the strongest predictor. Being female and getting information from friends was predictive of being more knowledgeable about sexual harassment. For the perceived change of view criterion, only one independent variable, getting information about sexual harassment from magazines, was predictive of perceiving a change of view about sexual harassment associated with watching television programs about sexual harassment. Separate regression analyses run by gender were also reported in the study. Although the findings of the study were characterized by weak relationships, results may be suggestive of important implications for future training in terms of sexual harassment.
A proposal for measuring correlation functions in interacting gases

description: We propose an experimental method that allows for scaling of all the diagonal correlation functions (such as the density and pair correlation function) during the expansion of harmonically trapped cold atomic gases with arbitrary interactions even if the trapping is anisotropic. To do this we require that the interaction be tunable by the use of a Feshbach resonance and that the trapping potential can be manipulated independently along the axial and radial directions. This permits a much greater accuracy and resolution in measurements of correlation functions. We explain the explicit control procedure, outline the scaling ansatz that we use and briefly discuss the systems where it could be applied as well as possible experimental obstacles to its implementation.

description: The Multiple Travelling Salesman Problem (MTSP) is among the most interesting combinatorial optimization problems because it is widely adopted in real-life applications, including robotics, transportation, networking, etc. Although the importance of this optimization problem, there is no survey dedicated to reviewing recent MTSP contributions. In this paper, we aim to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive review of existing studies on MTSP. In this survey, we focus on MTSP's recent contributions to both classical vehicles/robots and unmanned aerial vehicles. We highlight the approaches applied to solve the MTSP as well as its application domains. We analyze the MTSP variants and propose a taxonomy and a classification of recent studies.

description: We show that the recent observation of the time modulation of two-body weak decays of heavy ions reveals the mass content of the electron neutrinos via interference patterns in the recoiling ion wave function. From the modulation period we derive the difference of the square masses $ Δm^2\approx 22.5\times 10^{-5}$ eV${}^2$, which is about 2.8 times larger than that derived from a combined analysis of KamLAND and solar neutrino oscillation experiments. It is, however, compatible with a data regime to which the KamLAND analysis attributes a smaller probability. The experimental results imply that the neutrino mixing matrix violates unitarity by about 10%.

description: The aim of the present thesis is to present and examine a new practice in the field of journalism, known as ‘data journalism’. Based on the availability of open data and taking advantage of the variety of tools available for collecting, processing and presenting data, data journalism promises to reveal interesting stories based on complex data sets. The phenomenon is analyzed through bibliographic review, and also it is examined in the online edition of the Guardian a pioneer in data journalism projects. It is examined not only the theoretical framework of the phenomenon but also its connection with empirical material. Thus, the first part examines the context in which data journalism was born, the aspects of the phenomenon from its appearance until today, its examination and analysis, the new journalistic possibilities from the piece of research to its final composition. The research section includes the statistical analysis of 62 articles published in the Guardian's Datablog, which are based on data and are considered to reveal trends and features of this modern practice, which appears to play an important role in the future in the field of journalism and communication.

description: For real numbers a, b> 1, let as a_b denote the result of interpreting a in base b instead of base 10. We define ``dungeons'' (as opposed to ``towers'') to be numbers of the form a_b_c_d_..._e, parenthesized either from the bottom upwards (preferred) or from the top downwards. Among other things, we show that the sequences of dungeons with n-th terms 10_11_12_..._(n-1)_n or n_(n-1)_..._12_11_10 grow roughly like 10^{10^{n log log n}}, where the logarithms are to the base 10. We also investigate the behavior as n increases of the sequence a_a_a_..._a, with n a's, parenthesized from the bottom upwards. This converges either to a single number (e.g. to the golden ratio if a = 1.1), to a two-term limit cycle (e.g. if a = 1.05) or else diverges (e.g. if a = frac{100{99).

description: Joint communication and radar sensing (JCR) represents an emerging research field aiming to integrate the above two functionalities into a single system, sharing a majority of hardware and signal processing modules and, in a typical case, sharing a single transmitted signal. It is recognised as a key approach in significantly improving spectrum efficiency, reducing device size, cost and power consumption, and improving performance thanks to potential close cooperation of the two functions. Advanced signal processing techniques are critical for making the integration efficient, from transmission signal design to receiver processing. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of JCR systems from the signal processing perspective, with a focus on state-of-the-art. A balanced coverage on both transmitter and receiver is provided for three types of JCR systems, communication-centric, radar-centric, and joint design and optimization.

Using the obtained convolution form and the theory of integral equations we investigate the properties of a wide class of Levy processes (potential, quasi-potential, the probability of the Levy process remaining within the given domain, long time behavior, stable processes). We analyze in detail a number of concrete examples of the Levy processes (stable processes, the variance damped Levy processes, the variance gamma processes, the normal Gaussian process, the Meixner process, the compound Poisson process).

description: Sanitizers are a relatively recent trend in software engineering. They aim at automatically finding bugs in programs, and they are now commonly available to programmers as part of compiler toolchains. For example, the LLVM project includes out-of-the-box sanitizers to detect thread safety (tsan), memory (asan,msan,lsan), or undefined behaviour (ubsan) bugs. In this article, we present nsan, a new sanitizer for locating and debugging floating-point numerical issues, implemented inside the LLVM sanitizer framework. nsan puts emphasis on practicality. It aims at providing precise, and actionable feedback, in a timely manner. nsan uses compile-time instrumentation to augment each floating-point computation in the program with a higher-precision shadow which is checked for consistency during program execution. This makes nsan between 1 and 4 orders of magnitude faster than existing approaches, which allows running it routinely as part of unit tests, or detecting issues in large production applications.

Relationship between a structured group intervention and the increase in self-efficacy in job-seekers facing job transition
Creators: name: Bailey, Bruce K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Job seekers often experience unique challenges in their quest for employment. Often they experience feelings of helplessness and a sense of lost direction. Particularly if they have faced unanticipated job loss. As we approach the twenty first century much of the structural unemployment that has plagued the global community will likely continue. Effective interventions will be needed to assist job seekers in this period of transition to a new post- industrial economy. In assisting those facing transition it is expected that supporting the job seeker to increase levels of self-efficacy and self esteem will allow them to make a more effective transition from unemployment to employment. Associated with this job transition is stress, which often accompanies job loss. It was anticipated that structured group counselling would be an efficient and productive method to assist in the acquisition of these constructs. The results of this study suggest that this particular group employment counselling intervention does facilitate the acquisition of self-efficacy and self-esteem. Although it is tentative and at the early stage of investigation, this intervention appears to assist those individuals experiencing some forms of stress related to job loss.
Pinning and Depinning of the Bragg Glass in a Point Disordered Model Superconductor

description: The three-dimensional frustrated anisotropic XY model with point disorder is studied with both Monte Carlo simulations and resistively-shunted-junction dynamics to model the dynamics of a type-II superconductor with quenched point pinning in a magnetic field and a weak applied current. Both the collective pinning and the depinning of the Bragg glass is examined. We find a critical current I_c that separates a creep region with unmeasurable low voltage from a region with a voltage V \sim I-I_c, and also identify the mechanism behind this behavior. It is further found to be possible to collapse the data obtained at a fixed disorder strength by plotting the voltage versus TI, where T is the temperature, though the reason for this behavior is unclear.

description: A world-wide COVID-19 pandemic intensified strongly the studies of molecular mechanisms related to the coronaviruses. The origin of coronaviruses and the risks of human-to-human, animal-to-human, and human-to-animal transmission of coronaviral infections can be understood only on a broader evolutionary level by detailed comparative studies. In this paper, we studied ribonucleocapsid assembly-packaging signals (RNAPS) in the genomes of all seven known pathogenic human coronaviruses, SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-229E, and HCoV-NL63 and compared them with RNAPS in the genomes of the related animal coronaviruses including SARS-Bat-CoV, MERS-Camel-CoV, MHV, Bat-CoV MOP1, TGEV, and one of camel alphacoronaviruses. RNAPS in the genomes of coronaviruses were evolved due to weakly specific interactions between genomic RNA and N proteins in helical nucleocapsids. Combining transitional genome mapping and Jaccard correlation coefficients allows us to perform the analysis directly in terms of underlying motifs distributed over the genome. In all coronaviruses RNAPS were distributed quasi-periodically over the genome with the period about 54 nt biased to 57 nt and to 51 nt for the genomes longer and shorter than that of SARS-CoV, respectively. The comparison with the experimentally verified packaging signals for MERS-CoV, MHV, and TGEV proved that the distribution of particular motifs is strongly correlated with the packaging signals. We also found that many motifs were highly conserved in both characters and positioning on the genomes throughout the lineages that make them promising therapeutic targets. The mechanisms of encapsidation can affect the recombination and co-infection as well.

description: The five learning strands of the alternative learning system are intended to improve the employability skills of the learners. With improved employability skills, learners will have better chances of employment after graduation. This study was conducted to determine the level of employability skills of ALS learners and to find out the factors that are associated with predictors of employability skills. Employing the descriptive-correlational and causal research design, a total of 473 participants were selected through a random sampling technique. Adapted survey questionnaires for personality types, self-efficacy, and employability skills were administered to the participants. Results showed that the participants have a high level of employability skills, very satisfactory academic performance, and a high level of self-efficacy. Extraverts, sensors, feelers, and judgers were the dominant personality types of the participants and the majority were looking for employment after graduation. Correlation coefficients indicated that employability skills are significantly associated with academic performance, personality types, self-efficacy, and post-graduation plans. Multiple regression beta coefficients revealed that self-efficacy, communication skills, personality preferences, and sustainable resources were significant predictors to ALS learners’ employability skills. From the findings, the conclusion is drawn that the level of employability skills among the participants is generally higher and the learners are employable for an appropriate job after their graduation while the best predictor of employability skills is the learners’ self-efficacy.

Each of those can be further elaborated into, for example, datasets of what ancient travellers noted about the site, from, for instance, 1600 to early 20th century or of all aspects of the site and its surrounding area. Such datasets have not yet been published. A subsidiary aspect has been to pull together the research work of specialists with various interests in the site. This has unlocked material that particularly for western scholarship has not been known -- particularly surveys of ancient pottery completed by two Turkish postgraduate students. That data is held by them and I have access to it through contact with them. There is also a collection of maps and 19th century etchings related to the area

description: Magnetometry measurements of Fe/U and Ni/U bilayer systems reveal a non-monotonic dependence of the magnetic anisotropy for U thicknesses in the range 0 nm - 8 nm, with the Fe/U bilayers showing a more prominent effect as compared to Ni/U. The stronger response for Fe/U is ascribed to the stronger 3d-5f hybridization of Fe and U. This non-monotonic behaviour is thought to arise from quantum well states in the uranium overlayers. Estimating an oscillation period from the non-monotonic data, and comparing it to Density Functional Theory calculations, we find that wavevector matches to the experimental data can be made to regions of high spectral density in (010) and (100) cuts of the electronic structure ofα-U, consistent with the measured texture in the films. Unexpectedly, there are also indications of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in a subset of Fe/U samples at relatively large U thickness.

description: A compact, strictly all-fiber, picosecond pulse source based on ytterbium (Yb) doped fiber is described. Stable solitary mode-locking is obtained in a fiber-oscillator utilizing a carefully designed chirped fiber-Bragg-grating (C-FBG) for both dispersion control and spectral filtering. Self-starting is assured through the use of a fiber-coupled semiconductor-saturable-absorber-mirror (SESAM). The oscillator's 50MHz 3.8ps pulse-train output at 1064nm wavelength is amplified to 1.2W average power by an Yb doped fiber-amplifier, yielding 6.45ps parabolic pulses. Numerical simulations of the fiber oscillator design based on the modified nonlinear Schrodinger equation (NLSE), agree well with the experimental results.

description: A high-throughput correlative study of the local mechanical properties, chemical composition and crystallographic orientation has been carried out in selected areas of cast Inconel 718 specimens subjected to three different tempers. The specimens showed a strong Nb segregation at the scale of the dendrite arms, with local Nb contents that varied between 2 wt.% in the core of the dendrite arms to 8 wt.% in the interdendritic regions and 25 wt.% within the second phase particles (MC carbides, Laves phases and δ phase needles). The nanohardness was found to correlate strongly with the local Nb content and the temper condition. On the contrary, the indentation elastic moduli were not influenced by the local chemical composition or temper condition, but directly correlated with the crystallographic grain orientation, due to the high elastic anisotropy of nickel alloys.

description: Cosmic strings derived from string theory, supergravity or any theory of choice should be stable if we hope to observe them. In this paper we consider D-term strings in D=4, N=1 supergravity with a constant Fayet-Iliopoulos term. We show that the positive deficit angle supersymmetric D-term string is non-perturbatively stable by using standard Witten-Nester techniques to prove a positive energy theorem. Particular attention is paid to the negative deficit angle D-term string, which is known to violate the dominant energy condition. Within the class of string solutions we consider, this violation implies that the negative deficit angle D-term string must have a naked pathology and therefore the positive energy theorem we prove does not apply to it. As an interesting aside, we show that the Witten-Nester charge calculates the total gravitational energy of the D-term string without the need for a cut-off, which may not have been expected.

description: The geometric small property (Borho-MacPherson) of projective morphisms implies a description of their singularities in terms of intersection homology. In this paper we solve the smallness problem raised by Nakajima (math.QA/0105173) for certain resolutions of quiver varieties (analogs of the Springer resolution) : for Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules of simply-laced quantum affine algebras, we characterize explicitly the Drinfeld polynomials corresponding to the small resolutions. We use an elimination theorem for monomials of Frenkel-Reshetikhin q-characters that we establish for non necessarily simply-laced quantum affine algebras. We also refine results of (math.QA/0501202) and extend the main result to general simply-laced quantum affinizations, in particular to quantum toroidal algebras (double affine quantum algebras).

description: We present evidence that crystalline Sr_2Cu(PO_4)_2 is a nearly perfect one-dimensional (1D) spin-1/2 anti-ferromagnetic Heisenberg model (AHM) chain compound with nearest neighbor only exchange. We undertake a broad theoretical study of the magnetic properties of this compound using first principles (LDA, LDA+U calculations), exact diagonalization and Bethe-ansatz methodologies to decompose the individual magnetic contributions, quantify their effect, and fit to experimental data. We calculate that the conditions of one-dimensionality and short-ranged magnetic interactions are sufficiently fulfilled that Bethe's analytical solution should be applicable, opening up the possibility to explore effects beyond the infinite chain limit of the AHM Hamiltonian. We begin such an exploration by examining some extrinsic effects such as impurities and defects.

description: Πολλές μελέτες αποδεικνύουν ότι ο εμβολιασμός με μυκορριζικούς μύκητες βελτιώνει την ανάπτυξη των φυτών κάτω από διαφορετικές συνθήκες καταπόνησης αλάτων, καθώς αυξάνει την προσρόφηση θρεπτικών από το έδαφος και τη μεταφορά τους προς τα φυτά. Σκοπός της εργασίας ήταν να διερευνηθεί η επίδραση πέντε διαφορετικών μυκορριζικών μεταχειρίσεων διαφορετικής προέλευσης, στην ανάπτυξη και θρέψη φυτών μαρουλιού τα οποία αναπτύχθηκαν σε αλατούχα εδάφη. Υποτίθεται ότι απομονώσεις θυσσανοειδών μυκορριζικών μυκήτων (ΘΜΜ) από αμμοθίνες έχουν μεγαλύτερη ικανότητα να προάγουν την ανάπτυξη των φυτών σε συνθήκες καταπόνησης αλάτων σε σχέση με ΘΜΜ από έρημο ή αγρούς. Τα αποτελέσματα της παρούσας έρευνας έδειξαν ότι διαφορετικής προέλευσης μυκορριζικά εμβόλια επηρέασαν με διαφορετικό τρόπο την ανάπτυξη των φυτών. Τα φυτά που εμβολιάστηκαν με αμμοθινικά μυκορριζικά εμβόλιο είχαν καλύτερη ανάπτυξη και λιγότερο στρες αλατότητας από τα υπόλοιπα. Τα αποτελέσματα που προέκυψαν έρχονται σε συμφωνία με τη δεύτερη υπόθεση σύμφωνα με την οποία τα μυκορριζικά εμβόλια που προέρχονται από τις αμμοθίνες προάγουν φυσιολογικές διεργασίες που σχετίζονται με την καλύτερη ανάπτυξη των φυτών σε συνθήκες καταπόνησης. Ωστόσο, θα ήταν σημαντικό να διερευνηθεί περεταίρω ο τρόπος κατά τον οποίο οι μυκορριζικοί μύκητες που προέρχονται από αλατούχα περιβάλλοντα ενισχύουν τους μηχανισμούς αντοχής των φυτών, συμβάλλοντας στην καλύτερη ανάπτυξη τους σε αλατούχα εδάφη.
description: It is known that mycorrhizal inoculation improves plant growth under different salt stress conditions, while it enhances nutrient absorbance from soil and their transport to the shoots. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of five mycorrhizal treatments on nutrition and growth of lettuce plants growing under salt stress conditions. It is hypothesized that sand dune mycorrhizal inocula promote more efficient plant growth under salt stress conditions in contrast to field- or desert-originating mycorrhizal inocula. The results of the present study show that different mycorrhizal isolates affect plant growth in different ways. Sand dune mycorrhizal inoculums ameliorated salt stress more efficiently and lettuce plants of this treatment demonstrated better lettuce growth compared to the other treatments.The results agree with the hypothesis that sand dune mycorrhizal inocula promote physiological processes related to growth enhancement under saline conditions. However, further research is needed to evaluate the role of mycorrhizae on the growth and physiology of plants growing in saline soils.

description: Non-Abelian monopoles are present in the fully quantum mechanical low-energy effective action of many solvable supersymmetric theories. They behave perfectly as pointlike particles carrying non-Abelian dual magnetic charges. They play a crucial role in confinement and in dynamical symmetry breaking in these theories. There is a natural identification of these excitations within the semiclassical approach, which involves the flavor symmetry in an essential manner. We review, in an introductory fashion, the recent development which has led to a better understanding of the nature of non-Abelian monopoles and of their role in confinement and dynamical symmetry breaking in strongly interacting theories.

description: Τα παράγωγα ακριδονών μελετώνται εδώ και πολλές δεκαετίες λόγω των βιολογικών δράσεων τους, μία από αυτές σύμφωνα με υπολογιστικές και in vitro μελέτες είναι η αναστολή της κινάσης MARK. H αναστολή της κινάσης MARK έχει προταθεί να είναι ένας πιθανός στόχος στη θεραπεία της νόσου Alzheimer. Η γεμσιταμπίνη είναι από τα πιο ισχυρά κυτταροτοξικά φάρμακα που χρησιμοποιούνται για τη θεραπεία του καρκίνου και αρκετές προσπάθειες έχουν πραγματοποιηθεί για να βελτιωθεί η δράση και η εκλεκτικότητά της. Η χρήση των τροποποιημένων στεροειδών ως φορέων αντικαρκινικών φαρμάκων παρουσιάζει βελτιωμένη δραστικότητα και εκλεκτικότητα και παράλληλα μειωμένη συστηματική τοξικότητα συγκριτικά με τα μητρικά φάρμακα. Ο σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η σύνθεση αμιδικών παραγώγων της ακριδόνης ως αναστολέων της κινάσης MARK από τις απλές διαθέσιμες πρώτες ύλες π-τολουιδίνη και ο-χλωροβενζοϊκό οξύ, καθώς και του υβριδικού μορίου της γεμσιταμπίνης, το οποίο προέκυψε από τη σύζευξή της με το τροποποιημένο οξύ της τεστοστερόνης
description: The acridone derivatives have been studied for several decades due to their biological effects, one of which according to computational and in vitro studies is the inhibition of MARK kinase. MARK inhibition has been suggested to be a potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease. Gemcitabine is one of the most potent cytotoxic drugs used to treat cancer and several efforts have been made to improve its activity and selectivity. The use of modified steroids as carriers of anticancer drugs has improved activity and selectivity and at the same time reduced systemic toxicity as compared to parent drugs. The aim of the present thesis was to synthesize amide derivatives of acridone as MARK inhibitors from p-toluidine and o-chlorobenzoic acid, as well as the hybrid gemcitabine molecule resulting from its coupling with a modified testosterone acid

description: Radical terraces are innovative farming techniques promoted for increased agricultural yield. However, some terraces have not been fully exploited due to the farmers’ limited supports. This has a great impact on Rwanda's farming productivity where food security is still a crucial problem. This study, therefore, assessed the contribution of farmers’ outside support on the adoption of radical terraces for food security in Nyamagabe District, Rwanda. A descriptive correlational research design was adopted. Outside support and adoptiondiffusion of innovations perspectives guided this study. Cluster and purposive sampling techniques were used to sample 192 farmers and 19 key informants. Data was collected using a questionnaire, interview guide, direct observations, and documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics of Pearson correlation coefficient and chi-square while thematic analysis was used for qualitative data. Findings revealed that outside support influenced the adoption of radical terraces and food production and security. Furthermore, many smallholder farmers had been supported and improved their food production and security after they adopted radical terraces. It was concluded that the outside support significantly influenced farmer’s adoption and food production and security. Both local and national government and development partners such as NGOs should support the farmers with low-interest credits to enable them to invest in the farms. Also, the local, and national government of Rwanda and its development partners should support the farmers with farming inputs like lime, fertilizers, farm yield manure and wheat and distribute them to farmers in time for better use of radical terraces.
