Using Hierarchical Generalized Linear Modeling for Detection of Differential Item Functioning in a Polytomous Item Response Theory Framework:  An Evaluation and Comparison with Generalized Mantel-Haenszel
Creators: name: Ryan, Cari
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: In the field of education, decisions are influenced by the results of various high stakes measures. Investigating the presence of differential item functioning (DIF) in a set of items ensures that results from these measures are valid. For example, if an item measuring math self-efficacy is identified as having DIF then this indicates that some other characteristic (e.g. gender) other than the latent trait of interest may be affecting an examinee?s score on that particular item.

The use of hierarchical generalized linear modeling (HGLM) enables the modeling of items nested within examinees, with person-level predictors added at level-2 for DIF detection. Unlike traditional DIF detection methods that require a reference and focal group, HGLM allows the modeling of a continuous person-level predictor. This means that instead of dichotomizing a continuous variable associated with DIF into a focal and reference group, the continuous variable can be added at level-2. Further benefits of HGLM are discussed in this study.

This study is an extension of work done by Williams and Beretvas (2006) where the use of HGLM with polytomous items (PHGLM) for detection of DIF was illustrated. In the Williams and Beretvas study, the PHGLM was compared with the generalized

Mantel-Haenszel (GMH), for DIF detection and it was found that the two performed similarly.

A Monte Carlo simulation study was conducted to evaluate HGLM?s power to detect DIF and its associated Type 1 error rates using the constrained form of Muraki?s Rating Scale Model (Muraki, 1990) as the generating model. The two methods were compared when DIF was associated with a continuous variable which was dichotomized for the GMH and used as a continuous person-level predictor with PHGLM. Of additional interest in this study was the comparison of HGLM?s performance with that of the GMH under a variety of DIF and sample size conditions. Results showed that sample size, sample size ratio and DIF magnitude substantially influenced the power performance for both GMH and HGLM. Furthermore, the power performance associated with the GMH was comparable to HGLM for conditions with large sample sizes. The mean performance for both DIF detection methods showed good Type I error control.

description: Disabled people experience many barriers in daily life, but non-disabled people rarely pause to reflect and engage in joint action to advocate for access. In this demo, we explore the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) to sensitize non-disabled people to barriers in the built environment. We contribute a VR simulation of a major traffic hub in Karlsruhe, Germany, and we employ visual embellishments and animations to showcase barriers and potential removal strategies. Through our work, we seek to engage users in conversation on what kind of environment is accessible to whom, and what equitable participation in society requires. Additionally, we aim to expand the understanding of how VR technology can promote reflection through interactive exploration.

description: Das Gebiet der Menschen-zentrierten Forschung ist sehr multidisziplinär. Trotz der Multidisziplinarität gibt es innerhalb des Forschungskreises bereits ein gemeinsames Verständnis über die Arten von Forschungsbeiträgen, wie z.B. empirische Beiträge und Artefakt-Beiträge, und die Forschungsmethoden, z.B. Laborstudien oder Feldstudien, die angewendet werden, um einen wissenschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Beitrag leisten zu können. Was jedoch oft fehlt, ist die Transparenz der Forschungsmethoden und der Schwierigkeiten, die sowohl das Forschungsteam als auch Proband*innen bei der Durchführung und Teilnahme an der Forschung haben. In diesem Workshop wollen wir Nachwuchswissenschaftler*innen, Expert*innen, und aktuelle oder ehemalige Studienteilnehmer*innen zusammenbringen, um zu diskutieren, (a) wie menschen-zentrierte Forschung aktuell durchgeführt wird, (b) welche Herausforderungen Forschende und Studienteilnehmer*innen zu bewältigen haben, und (c) was die aktuellen ethischen Fragen und die Fragen der internen und externen Validität sind. Auf der Grundlage dieser Erkenntnisse diskutieren wir, was wir als Gemeinschaft verbessern können, um die bestehenden Probleme im Zusammenhang mit Stichprobenverzerrungen, Zugang zu Forschung, ökologischer Validität, Barrierefreiheit und möglicherweise “unpassenden‘‘ Forschungsmethoden verringern zu können.

description: Typically, energy consumption is recorded through a series of measurements, and while the potential impacts of it are discussed, the interconnection between causes and effects is often not clearly illustrated. Our project focuses on representing household energy consumption through data physicalisation and Augmented Reality. The demo consists of a studio maquette containing four household electronic devices: a laptop, washing machine, fridge, and lamp. The energy consumption of these devices is represented through the brightness of the device. To enhance the viewer's experience and show, we use AR storytelling to show the impact of this data on the climate. Motivating the user to make positive improvement to their household energy consumption behaviour.

description: Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is establishing itself in academia and industry through accessible implementations like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion. Subsequently, GenAI is changing the interaction paradigms between users and computers. Currently, many individual approaches exist to leverage these tools, creating various strategies and agendas for using them in HCI research. Thus, we expect this will change how researchers design and create interactive interfaces. This workshop facilitates a common understanding of GenAI concerning HCI in which participants will share and discuss their experiences using GenAI and Large Language Models (LLMs) in HCI research. In this workshop, the potential of GenAI for Human-Computer Interaction will be explored and discussed with the research community through position papers, research statements, and opinions, thereby creating comprehensive practical insights synthesizing collective experience and strategies with real-world examples.

subject: Explainable AI

description: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), particularly large language models (LLMs), offer new capabilities of natural language understanding and generation, potentially reducing employee stress and high turnover rates in customer service delivery. However, these systems also present risks, such as generating convincing but erroneous responses, known as hallucinations and confabulations. Thus, this study investigates the impact of GenAI on service performance in customer support settings, emphasizing augmentation over automation to address three key inquiries: identifying patterns of GenAI infusion that alter service routines, assessing the effects of human-AI interaction on cognitive load and task performance, and evaluating the role of explainable AI (XAI) in detecting erroneous responses such as hallucinations. Employing a design science research approach, the study combines literature reviews, expert interviews, and experimental designs to derive implications for designing GenAI-driven augmentation. Preliminary findings reveal three key insights: (1) Service employees play a critical role in retaining organizational knowledge and delegating decisions to GenAI agents; (2) Utilizing GenAI co-pilots significantly reduces the cognitive load during stressful customer interactions; and (3) Novice employees face challenges in discerning accurate AI-generated advice from inaccurate suggestions without additional explanatory context.

description: This report presents the key results of a multi-year activity of the Sea Around Us devoted to assessing the status of marine fisheries globally. This was accomplished by estimating, for the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) of all maritime countries and the high seas, the fraction currently left in the sea of the exploited populations of fish and invertebrates that occurred before the onset of large-scale industrial fishing. More precisely, the ‘fraction left’ is the current biomass (B) of a stock relative to its initial biomass (B0), i.e., B/B0. This fraction was estimated for multiple exploited populations (or ‘stocks’) by applying a versatile stock assessment method (CMSY++), whose main features are also described. Altogether, over 2,500 stocks of fish and marine invertebrates (mainly crustaceans such as lobsters and mollusks such as squids) were assessed in the EEZs of countries on five continents and the high seas. These assessments were based mainly on long catch time series (typically 1950 to 2018) but considered, wherever they were available, the results of earlier assessments made by national or international fisheries management bodies. Thus, the evaluations of fisheries status presented herein are not defined by data scarcity; rather, we used all available data pertinent to the status of fisheries in all maritime countries to reduce the uncertainty inherent in all stock assessments. The detailed results of these stock assessments and their supporting data are available on the Sea Around Us website (www.seaaroundus.org). These results will also be used by the Flourishing Ocean Initiative of the Minderoo Foundation, which kindly funded a large part of our catch reconstruction update to 2018 and the stock assessment work described herein.

description: Patient-generated health data has the potential to benefit health consultations; however, there are also challenges in implementing them into practice. A key challenge is to extract relevant data and allow for effective sensemaking to create actionability for both healthcare providers (HCPs) and patients. Based on a patient-journey model, we explore the use of generative AI to enable personalized data sensemaking to potentially improve shared decision-making between cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients and HCPs during the physical activity planning process in cardiovascular rehabilitation. We discuss open questions around interaction modalities, synchronicity, and patient-HCP social dynamics in the presence of conversational or agentic tools.
Thrive : A supportive network for family and friend caregivers of older adults who use substances or alcohol

description: Detecting problematic substance use in older adults is often hard because many symptoms of substance use are similar to the symptoms of other physical illnesses common in the aging population. The use of substances and alcohol also makes an elderly person’s care needs more complex. Family caregivers are critical in helping to manage substance use and promoting successful aging. Caregiving requires many sacrifices, and often caregivers end up giving up their own well-being while providing care for their loved ones.

description: The article deals with the relationship between the structural dynamics and the time regime of society. If the premises of system theory, critical theory and discourse analysis are related to each other, a resonance theory can be developed by which resonance distributions between social areas can be analyzed. This theoretical foundation enables us to describe social transformation processes and criticize them as a crisis diagnosis of modernity. Our investigation is guided by the following thesis: The structural dynamics of society and the associated time relationships are dependent on a prevailing social resonance pattern that leads to a hegemonic time regime. Although alternatives to this pattern of resonance are possible and they are also visible in society in numerous and varied ways. But they become less likely, the more powerfully the hegemonic discourse in the political enforces the hegemonic time regime against alternatives. Through our analytical framework, we observe the contemporary conditions of antagonism between the hegemonic innovation regime and the anti-hegemonic sustainability discourse.

description: The paper discusses the two classical spatiotemporal regimes of democracy: the bodily co-presence of the republican polity in direct forms of democracy on the one hand, and the representative mode of liberal democracy on the other. Using insights from Mouffe’s, Rancière’s and Lorey’s political theories, the paper reflects on the pitfalls of direct participation as well as of representative modes such as parliamentary elections. It combines this discussion with an analysis of recent phenomena of populism and scrutinizes the dominant usage of the term. Thus, the question arises how different forms of democracy relate to populism. It is argued that populism is no external force to liberal democracy’s temporal structures but rather deeply committed to them. After all, the paper denies the term populism to capture and describe radical forms of protest transcending the representation-populism nexus (e.g. Indignad@s, OccupyWallStreet). Instead it pleads for describing radical performances of democracy as presentist instead of populist.

description: In recent years, ›wicked problems‹ have gained widespread attention both in academic and political discourses. The term is typically used to describe constellations in which long-term strategies are needed in order to cope with complex cause-and-effect-relationships, time is pressing due to self-enforcing dynamics, and well-established techniques of knowledge acquisition seem no longer valid. Therefore, time is obviously of particular importance for the identification of wicked problems. However, in the literature these temporal features are treated as naturally given, which obscures the social practices through which wickedness as a ›complex‹, ›uncertain‹ and ›urging‹ socio-political condition is constituted. To problematize this perspective, this article makes use of phenomenological sociology and systems theory to show how time is not objectively given but emerges from individual sense-making processes and communicative operations respectively. With these anti-naturalist perspectives on time it becomes possible to critically analyze the political implications that accompany the discourse on wicked problems.

description: While prototyping is a widespread practice among researchers, creating sustainable, functional devices remains challenging due to the limited range of available tools and materials. We present several approaches to sustainable prototyping of functional devices. Our methods range from using bio-based and bio-degradable materials as sustainable alternatives to biologically growing electronic substrates. These methods enable a new class of interactive devices that integrate electronic components with sustainable materials. Our research on Interactive Bioplastics [1] introduces a DIY approach for producing conductive bioplastics that are compatible with digital fabrication techniques. Furthermore, [2] introduces an integrated fabrication framework for sustainable soft shape-changing interfaces made of bioplastics. Finally, our work on Biohybrid Devices [3] showcases how the biological growth of living bio-materials--such as Bacterial Cellulose--can be used as assembling and embedding process for electronics. In addition to presenting various artifacts, we highlight the processes introduced by our fabrication frameworks [1-3] and engage the audience in discussions about the life-cycle phases of producing artifacts, promoting a critical reflection of sustainable practices in prototyping.

description: This article is directed against the critique that there is a normative defcit in theory of hegemony by Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau. It aims to show that this claim is ungrounded. The claim implicitly presumes that the normative foundation of the practical project of radical democratic needs to be located in the deconstructivist theory of hegemony itself. Drawing on Mouffes writings on democracy and pluralism, the article demonstrates that Mouffe is not sharing these premise. My purpose is to develop an alternative position which interprets the relation of the theory of hegemony and the practical approach of radical democracy as instrumental and pragmatic. Thereby, it can exhibit that Mouffe recourses to communitarian grounded ethico-political values. For the political implementation of these values, the theory of hegemony can offer some pragmatic implications and therefore should be understand as a useful tool for democratic practice.

description: With his original reading of the French Revolution Étienne Balibar established a notion of politics in which theoretical refection and political practice are irreducibly interwoven. Contrary to liberal and republican interpretations of these events he claims that one can neither derive material rights nor rules of political processes from the basic concepts of the revolution; instead he sees their main characteristic in their resistance to fnal interpretation. Rather than prescribing a certain social or political system, their contested openness gives occasion to or even forces a political society into a process of self-questioning by constantly reapplying those main concepts to political practices. In my essay I will present Balibar’s complex interpretation of the French Revolution as starting point of this open process as well as his own proposal for its future development. I will claim that his own proposal contradicts some of his central assumptions about the French Revolution so that certain problems of his notion of politics will manifest itself in retrospect.

description: What is the voter‘s attitude towards the neoliberalist impregnation of the leading political parties in Germany? The question of the preconditions of active political involvement and participation overlaps with sovereignty itself, in the sense of empowerment on a democratic basis, not only in its structure but based on values that would not contradict its course. Either the observed decrease both of party membership and voter participation is due to a postdemocratic change in the sense of simulative democracy caused by depoliticization in the core of subjectivity (as Blühdorn suggests). The possibility of an apathetic sovereign and a growing distance between expert-driven politics and a less organized people (as Crouch suggests) remains. Or, the public has probably understood the market-driven message of neoliberal politics presenting itself as of no alternative and thus reacts to it with active abandonment and alienation, even more: indifference. The latter case, however, does not imply a total lack of political interest (as several surveys at least in Germany show) but rather makes a strong case for cluelessness and deference to the given economic circumstances. In any case, both lines of argument cast a shadow on the future of political involvement and dedication. This paper discusses a possible approach to investigate the matter by analyzing the programs of Germany political parties in order to show the above mentioned impregnation and formulating the required parts of such research. In fact, a qualitative instrument to measure the depth of neoliberal attitude in the citizen’s mindset is required, as the existing formats to research political attitudes do not provide such an instrument. This is partly due to the lack of a concept that covers the cornerstones of the neoliberal ideology. Within this paper the frst conceptual steps towards such an instrument (N-Scale) are taken, mainly focusing on which questions defnitely should be part of it. Overall the necessity to conduct further research on this matter reveals itself with regard to the shifting understanding of democracy that is expressed, e.g., in contemporary terms like »market-conform democracy«.

Generative AI Tools have rapidly entered creative processes of designers and artists alike, and have been heavily adopted by lay people. They have been praised for democratizing high-quality image creation. However, there are still concerns about the limited artistic control and steerability they provide , especially for professional creatives. This raises questions about how well these tools can be integrated into carefully developed creative workflows, given the constraints on composition and detail. Additionally, text2image algorithms are highly competitive with more manual creation and visualisation techniques in terms of speed and fidelity, while lacking opportunities for deliberation and fine-grained control. As a physical artifact, Transferscope attempts to tangibly introduce professional designers and students to generative AI powered workflows that facilitate creative control, while maintaining the option to leverage serendipity-driven iteration uniquely made possible by the instant-availability provide by image generation models like stable diffusion.Transferscope serves an educational purposes within an experiential teaching approach, and has been designed to work within exhibition and classroom settings alike.

A Monte Carlo Study of Fit Indices in Hierarchical Linear Models

description: In educational research, students often exist in a multilevel social setting that can be identified by students within classrooms, classrooms nested in schools, schools nested in school districts, school districts nested in school counties, and school counties nested in states. These are considered hierarchical, nested, or multilevel because students are within the same community and share similar experiences which have the potential to influence an outcome. Because students within the same classrooms have similar characteristics, conclusions made on these students cannot be independent. To adapt to the hierarchical, multilevel, or nested data structure, multilevel analysis techniques such as hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) can be used to analyze the data.

One purpose of HLM is to specify a model that includes appropriate random effects (Guo, 2005). One method which should be considered for inclusion or exclusion of random effects and to evaluate the goodness of fit of the final model to the data is the comparison of models with different specifications of random effects based on Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) , or Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) which corrects for bias induced by sample size and number of random effects. AIC, BIC, and DIC are information criteria that measure the statistical fit of a model. There has not been any research conducted in the multilevel literature about the impact of sample size and information criteria.

This Monte Carlo Monte Carlo simulation compared the influence of sample size on the ability to select the best model in two-level hierarchical models using the information criteria Akaike Information Criterion, Bayesian Information Criterion, and Deviance Information Criterion. Results of this investigation showed that all three information criteria had very low or nonexistent success in choosing the best hierarchical linear model.

description: Computer Emergency Response Teams provide advisory, preventive, and reactive cybersecurity services for authorities, citizens, and businesses. However, their responsibility of establishing cyber situational awareness by monitoring and analyzing security advisories and vulnerabilities has become challenging due to the growing volume of information disseminated through public channels. Thus, this paper presents the preliminary design of a system for automatically retrieving and extracting security advisory documents from Common Security Advisory Framework (CSAF), HTML, and RSS sources. The evaluation with various security advisory sources (N=53) shows that the developed system can retrieve 90% of the published advisory documents, which is a significant improvement over systems only relying on the retrieval from RSS feeds (30%).

description: The introduction of practice theories into International Relations (IR) promises new pathways to the study of world politics. This paper discusses how praxeological approaches can inform current debates in IR norm research. It introduces three specific approaches from the family of practice theory and their potential to enrich norm research: (1) Pierre Bourdieu’s nomos, (2) communities of legal practice and (3) the pragmatic sociology of Luc Boltanski. The paper argues that while indeed offering alternative ways for thinking about normativity in world politics, the former approaches perpetuate a structural bias as it has increasingly been criticized in IR norm research. In contrast, the pragmatic sociology offers an innovative approach situated at the interface of structure and agency. The paper concludes that pragmatic sociology in particular can further the already productive debates on norm contestation in IR by using situations of controversy as their analytical starting point.

description: Developing telehealth systems to address global health challenges is becoming increasingly rapid. This can lead to increased complexity, especially in interdisciplinary research projects between industry, medicine and socio-informatics. Especially when partners do not share a disciplinary language or perspective. In this position paper we would like to reflect on the negotiation and development process of an adapted method to gather first practical experiences for the implementation of functionalities of a speech-based diagnostic system to support people with Long COVID symptoms and the associated challenges and influences with the project partners. We want to show that for the design of hybrid healthcare systems it is important, that an understanding between disciplines and approaches should be achieved.

description: Virtual reality (VR) allows to embody any possible appearance using avatars. Previous work found that the visual characteristics of an avatar can cause behavioral, attitudinal, and perceptual changes - a phenomenon known as the Proteus effect. Recent work revealed that athletic avatars can even change heart rate responses while exercising in VR. However, it is unknown if such effects occur due to behavioral changes caused by the avatar or the mere virtual embodiment. Therefore, we conducted a study to understand if avatars’ effects can be replicated while resting in VR. 21 participants embodied neutral, famous, and athletic avatars while lying on the ground. We could not find effects of the avatars’ appearance on heart rate and perceived identification. Results indicate that the mere virtual embodiment of stereotypical avatars cannot induce physiological effects. We discuss that physiological effects are caused by behavioral adaptations due to the avatars' visual appearance.

description: Dense local haplotypes can now readily be extracted from long-read or droplet-based sequence data. However, these methods struggle to combine subchromosomal haplotype blocks into global chromosome-length haplotypes. Strand-seq is a single cell sequencing technique that uses read orientation to capture sparse global phase information by sequencing only one of two DNA strands for each parental homolog. In combination with dense local haplotypes from other technologies, Strand-seq data can be used to obtain complete chromosome-length phase information. In this chapter, we run the R package StrandPhaseR to phase SNVs using publicly-available sequence data for sample HG005 of the Genome in a Bottle project.
Changing the Script: Language and Nation Building in Post-Soviet Azerbaijan
Creators: name: Kazimzade, Nigar
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: This study examines the language policy of independent Azerbaijan in relation to national identity. Azerbaijan is an independent multi-ethnic republic and has implemented its own language policy since 1991. As a result, a unique Latin alphabet was adopted, shifting away from Cyrillic. This thesis contributes to Soviet/post-Soviet language studies, specifically the study of the links between language policies and nationality. This research revealed that after the new language regulations were enacted in the early 1990s, Azerbaijan experienced different phases of nation-building. Unlike other post-Soviet states, the de-Russification process could go further in Azerbaijan, due to the successful introduction of the Latin alphabet.
