Priming: Multi-Stage Pretraining using Formal Languages with Ascending Complexity
Creators: name: Niu, Tianyi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: This work proposes a novel three-stage ap- proach to training language models where the dataset used in each stage increases in gram- matical complexity, measured by the Chomsky hierarchy. Building on previous research in distilling inductive biases and non-linguistic pretraining, we propose adding an additional pretraining step called priming, where the prim- ing stage involves a small synthetic dataset gen- erated according to certain formal languages. The model is then pretrained on a larger and more complex non-linguistic dataset, and fi- nally finetuned on a natural language dataset. We investigate two main questions: (1) whether priming would lead to stronger inductive bi- ases, and (2) whether priming will allow for more efficient pretraining. This study exam- ines eleven priming datasets generated with different formal languages of varying complex- ities. We find that priming does not enable more efficient pretraining, however, priming does increase performance when pretrained for a sufficient number of steps. Moreover, we find priming languages that (1) do not involve token- to-token dependencies and (2) are comprised of simple structural patterns will lead to better performance.

Documenting and Deconstructing Dark Patterns and Asymmetry in Online Subscription Processes
Creators: name: Surkin, Julianna
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this research is to illuminate the labyrinth of dark patterns users encounter when subscribing or unsubscribing from an online service or product. Recording a detailed composition of dark patterns in the sign-up and cancellation processes of online subscription services will clarify how this phenomenon is understood. To achieve this objective, the relationship between the sign-up and cancellation processes is examined to identify dark patterns in online subscription contexts. This study uses a qualitative approach to conduct in-depth case studies to annotate ten sign-up and cancellation processes for existing streaming platforms and diversified software services. This data collection process creates user flow data that record the interfaces encountered and procedures performed as visual artifacts. Preliminary descriptive statistical analysis measures asymmetry in two effort-related factors: amount of time and number of steps. Then, extensive conceptual content analysis utilizes an integrated dark pattern taxonomy to classify dark patterns within the visual artifacts. The findings illustrate deconstructed instances of asymmetric effort, deceptive design, and information and choice architectures. Results also indicate that asymmetry in sign-up and cancellation processes can describe the degree of effort to complete the task, the prevalence of dark patterns, and the underlying complexity in information and choice architectures. The thesis concludes with a discussion of these finding's implications for various stakeholders as well as future design standards, policy recommendations, and subscription management intermediaries that would enhance consumer protection in online subscription processes.
Worshipping Divine Statues in Ancient Assyria: Protocol, Emotions, and Etiquette
Creators: name: Portuese, Ludovico
Publisher: name: Editrice Morcelliana srl
Year: 2024

description: This paper re-constructs the ways that divine statues were worshipped in ancient Assyria, by analyzing the protocols and etiquette that were adhered to by worshippers during their encounter with the divine. Textual and archaeological evidence does not offer exhaustive descriptions in this respect, but a polyphonic reading of these sources helps the modern scholar to explore the protocols that were followed and the gestures that were performed by the suppliant. It is concluded that the essence of divine statues, as well as the emotions experienced by the suppliant, produced those worshipping acts that today we may refer to as “etiquette”.

Responding to Stress: Exploring the Relationships Between Stress, Coping Styles, and Risky Behavior in Adolescents
Creators: name: Baran, Idil
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: This study analyzed the associations between stress response, risky behavior, and coping style. We predicted that individuals with a greater stress response would engage more in risky behavior. Additionally, we predicted that those who utilize more avoidant coping styles would also engage more in risky behavior. Finally, we hypothesized that individuals with greater trait anxiety would participate in more risky behaviors. We tested 12 subjects on a battery including 5 self-report surveys (STAI, Brief COPE, PSS, RISQ, and YRI), a Trier Social Stress Task (TSST), and collected heart rate data. The results of this study found significant positive relationships between anxiety and perceived stress and avoidant and emotional coping styles. Additionally, we identified a significant positive relationship between risky behavior and avoidant and emotional coping styles. Furthermore, significant positive relationships were found between the avoidant coping style and drug use, alcohol use, and reckless behaviors. Additionally, there was a significant positive relationship between impulsive eating and reported anxiety and perceived stress.

‘Egg that tastes like egg’: An Ethnographic and Economic Inquiry into the Assets and Challenges of the Organic Farming Market in the Canary Islands
Creators: name: Julian Goldner
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: This study’s primary purpose is to understand the disconnect between the vast potential for self-sustainable organic food systems in the Canary Islands and its current dependence on external import and conventional production. By applying theoretical frameworks to the findings from participant observation and in-depth interviews, the validity of these frameworks will be assessed and potential interventions will be recommended. This study attempts to understand and communicate the necessities of Canarian organic producers and reveal the key points needed for the growth and longevity of the sector.
Effect of Daily Precipitation on Enteric Virus Transmission in Maputo, Mozambique
Creators: name: Bakare, Toheedat
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Diarrheal diseases are common in low- and middle-income countries, and climate changes – including flooding and other extreme events – may influence how enteric pathogens are spread in underserved communities. However, much research into the relationship between precipitation and enteric pathogen detection in stool has not been done, as well as these relationships under the context of an intervention. We examined virus detection in child stool samples as part of a cross-sectional follow-up of children in the Maputo Sanitation trial. Using Poisson regression models, we estimated prevalence ratios to determine if and how precipitation levels were associated with viral pathogen detection under different precipitation conditions. We found that total viral prevalence and norovirus prevalence in child stools was lower during the drier season, by 27.7% and 46.0% respectively, and and adenovirus prevalence was lower when rainfall was above the calculated 75th percentile by 77.2%. In addition, we found that the sanitation upgrade modified the relationship between precipitation and viral prevalence detected in stool samples, with uncertain implications. Climate-resilient WASH interventions are needed to support public health while also combatting the impending climate crisis.  Further research on the specific associations between sanitary infrastructure, climate, and health is warranted.

Connection, Control, and Involvement: Examining Black Parenting Dimensions on Adolescent Academic Achievement
Creators: name: Willse, Jada
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Black parents likely adopted culturally and racially specific parenting practices within these themes to help their children navigate highly racialized social contexts. Deconstructing and documenting Black parenting practices is valuable for trying to understand how they prepare their children to navigate largely discriminatory school environments effectively. In this study, we used a two-year longitudinal design to examine how children reported parental connection, control, and involvement of their mothers and fathers was associated child academic self-esteem, school engagement, perceived academic ability, and academic school values a year later. Regression analyses were used to determine the relationship between wave 1 parental connection, parental psychological control, and parental school involvement with wave 1 and wave 2 academic outcomes. These results revealed that maternal and paternal connectedness were linked to increased academic self-esteem and school values, a year later. In conclusion, this study has underscored the intricate dynamics within the relationships between Black parental connection and their children’s academic outcomes, challenging conventional assumptions and highlighting the multifaceted nature of parental influence.

description: Northern Ireland has experienced a short reprieve from the extreme conflict that dominated particularly the mid to late 20th century. That came into question when the UK voted to leave the EU in 2016. Many worries began to build about the return of instability which were only furthered by the decision to keep the border open between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland but to partially close it between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. This paper seeks to examine what has changed in the years since and how instability may be returning to one of the hottest beds of terrorism historically.

K-Spheres: A Novel Methodology for Clustering Differentiating Stem Cells
Creators: name: Iyer, Aditya
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Understanding the molecular mechanisms by which human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) differentiate into germ layers is a key goal in regenerative medicine. A major challenge in this effort is that stem cells simultaneously undergo two processes with distinct dynamics: (1) differentiation, sequential changes in the molecular states of cells during development, and (2) the cell cycle, a cyclical process by which one cell gives rise to two daughter cells. Clustering, coupled with dimensionality reduction, can be used to profile hESCs into differentiation lineages and subsequently cell cycle phases. However, current methodologies do not adequately capture the geometric structure underlying these two processes in a manner that is biologically interpretable. Given the interdependence between the cell cycle and differentiation, we propose that pluripotent cells progress through differentiation via a series of cyclical molecular states. Here, we introduce k-spheres, a novel clustering methodology that partitions data into subsets that exhibit spherical patterns. K-spheres is analogous to k-means clustering but evaluates distances to low dimensional spheres instead of distances to cluster centers. We assess k-spheres using data obtained from multiplexed immunofluorescent imaging of proteins associated with the cell cycle and differentiation. Our results demonstrate that k-spheres outperforms existing methods—including k-means and Gaussian mixture models—in generating cyclic clusters that effectively capture the cell-cycle induced heterogeneity in differentiated cell types, such as the endoderm lineage. Looking ahead, k-spheres could serve as inspiration for new “cycle-based clustering” methodologies that effectively capture and interpret the variation in differentiating hESCs or other datasets featuring cyclical structures.

Tidal and Social Influences on Abundance, Distribution and Foraging Success of Wading Birds in North Carolina Marshes
Creators: name: Glazener, Abby
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: This study explored tidal and social factors influencing the abundance, distribution, and foraging success of wading birds in the marshes of North Carolina. While previous research has acknowledged the significance of tidal-use patterns, social foraging behavior, and prey abundance for wading bird species, a comprehensive understanding of their combined effects remains elusive. Through a combination of field surveys, minnow trap deployments, and bird decoy experiments, this study aimed to unravel the nuanced relationships between diurnal high and low tides and the ecological dynamics of foraging wading bird populations in North Carolina marshes. While initially, this study attempted to assess social foraging effects, these behaviors were not observed very frequently and, therefore, were not further analyzed. Results showed no statistical difference between average wading bird abundance or wading bird species richness between high and low tides. The proportions of foraging success between tides were comparable. No correlation was found between wading bird abundance and prey abundance. This research contributes insights into the complex ecological factors shaping the behavior and foraging success of wading birds in coastal habitats by alluding to other factors that may be at play in determining these foraging behaviors independent of prey abundance and tidal changes. Optimal foraging theory, species-specific preferences, trade-offs between water levels and vegetation, as well as human-induced habitat changes, are among potential variables that may obscure and complicate patterns guiding wading bird foraging behavior. Further research on this topic is necessary especially in a time of increasing anthropogenic stressors, including sea level rise and coastal development, which limit and alter foraging habitats at a rate at which wading birds may be unable to locally adapt.

Designing an Interactive System to View Earthquake Aftershock Forecasts
Creators: name: Artigas, Bianca
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Data visualization can often play a key role in how hazard information is interpreted by a certain audience. In the context of seismic hazard, earthquake aftershock forecasts can be visualized and communicated in a variety of ways. In this study, we describe our process for creating graphics centered on the needs of real users for the purpose of leading to accurate interpretations of forecast information. We first describe the epidemic type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model and its behavior in producing aftershock forecasts. With this spatiotemporal pattern in mind, we then combine data visualization best-practices with real user needs from different user groups to design a suite of static map prototypes with the goal of minimizing misinterpretations of the forecast data. We argue that since the forecast information changes over time, a static map may not be sufficient for users to obtain a full understanding of the aftershock forecast behavior, and thus an interactive system would improve data interpretation. We then prototype an interactive system for users to view earthquake aftershock forecasts and call the application “Aftershock Forecast Viewer.” Although at an early stage of prototyping, this system already allows the user to move through the timestamps of the forecast, toggle between different layers such as fault lines and mainshock/aftershock location and change visual aspects of the map such as color transparency and number of bins. Eventually, the Aftershock Forecast Viewer prototype can be tested against users to conclude if an interactive system is more effective at communicating aftershock forecast information than static maps or other forms of communication.

description: Joh. B.s Brief an Jean Rodolph Osterwald enthält sein vernichtendes Urteil über ein Perpetuum mobile eines M. Tribolet [Jean Godefroy Tribolet (1696-1752) aus Neuenburg?]. Tribolet hat Joh. B. drei Briefe gesandt, mit den ersten beiden zwei Manuskripte über ein von ihm entworfenes Perpetuum mobile, und um sein Urteil gebeten. Joh. B. hat bereits vor Jahren Tribolets Erfindung beurteilt und einen Brief über Osterwald an Tribolet gesandt, den dieser allerdings nicht erhalten haben will (vgl. Joh. B. an Jean Frédéric Osterwald 1716 08 12). Tribolets Erfindung ist lächerlich. Sie beruht auf dem Prinzip, Flüssigkeiten abwechselnd mittels verschiedener Volumina mit grösserem und kleinerem Volumen mit unterschiedlichen Gewichten zu versehen. Man kann aber ein Gewicht, das leichter als sein Gegengewicht ist, nicht schwerer machen, ohne den Gleichgewichtszustand zu durchlaufen, bei dem dann alle Bewegung aufhört. Tribolet soll erst Mathematik und dann die Mechanik der festen Körper und der Flüssigkeiten studieren, denn ihm fehlen alle Fachkenntnisse.

description: The foundation of American Democracy has been under attack and slowly crumbling due to democratic backsliding. While we mainly see this at the national level, states certainly play a role in the destabilization of American democracy and not a lot is known about how states contribute to the decrease of national democratic performance. I updated a research study by Jacob Grumbach and analyzed subnational (state) democratic performance within America following key democratic backsliding events like the attempted insurrection and the overturn of Roe v. Wade. I updated Grumbach's original dataset to include the years 2019-2022 to reflect these events. I then created a measure of state democratic performance by fitting a model to these updated variables. I then sought to study democratic backsliding and specifically how the measures I created were affected by election competition, region, the justice system, and enfranchisement. Analyzing state democratic performance and seeing if it has drastically changed following the most recent elections. Also testing to see if any other factors' significance has changed following these elections.

The Political Use of Transportation in Bosnia: A Geospatial Analysis
Creators: name: Holmes, Emma
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: This honors thesis examines the intersection of politics and transportation, specifically in the context of Bosnia's socio-political climate. The thesis uses a GIS analysis following graph theory to examine the level of connectivity for roads and railways throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. The level of transportation connectivity is then compared to political boundaries in the country to see where there are areas of high versus low connectivity and if they align with the political boundaries.

title: Untersuchung der antikanzerogenen Wirkung von Biliverdin, Biliverdin-Dimethylester, Stercobilin und Urobilin auf HepG2-Zellen
Creators: name: Schwarz, Ursula
Year: 2012

description: In Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit wurde die antikanzerogene Wirkung der Tetrapyrrole Biliverdin, Biliverdin-Dimethylester, Stercobilin und Urobilin auf HepG2-Zellen untersucht. Getestet wurden sie jeweils in drei unterschiedlichen Konzentrationen (0,5μM, 5μM, 17μM). Die HepG2-Zellen wurden für 24 Stunden mit den Tetrapyrrolen inkubiert. Zur Ermittlung der DNA-Schäden durch die Tetrapyrrole wurde die Einzelzellgelektrophorese (Single cell gel electrophoresis, Comet Assay) eingesetzt. Dadurch lassen sich sowohl DNA-Einzelstrang- als auch Doppelstrangbrüche nachweisen. Die negativ geladene DNA wandert während der Elektrophorese zur Anode, während die unbeschädigte DNA im Zellkern bleibt. Fragmente der denaturierten DNA wandern aus der Zelle. Unter dem Fluoreszenzmikroskop ist das Ausmaß der DNA-Schädigung sichtbar. Erfasst wird die Schädigung durch den Prozentanteil der DNA im Kometenschweif. Stercobilin und Biliverdin zeigten in allen drei Konzentrationen eine signifikante DNA-Schädigung im Vergleich zur Negativkontrolle. Biliverdin-Dimethylester wirkte in den Konzentrationen 0,5μM und 17μM DNA schädigend. Urobilin hingegen zeigte nur bei einer Konzentration von 17μM schädigende Wirkung auf die DNA. Durch Stressung mit dem Prooxidans t-BOOH, wurden die Zellen zusätzlich geschädigt. Positiv zu bewerten ist, dass keines der getesteten Tetrapyrrole die Zellen vor einer zusätzlichen Stressung schützen konnte. Die Ergebnisse dieser in vitro Studie zeigen ein antikanzerogenes Potential der vier Tetrapyrrole, abhängig von der jeweiligen Konzentration.

title: Nahrungsergänzungsmittel und ihr Einsatz im Sporternährungsbereich
Creators: name: Hofmeister, Georg
Year: 2012

description: Ziel dieser Diplomarbeit war es, einen Blick auf den wissenschaftlichen Hintergrund von Sporternährungsprodukten zu werfen. Notwendigkeit, Sinnhaftigkeit und Sicherheit der Produkte sollten erörtert werden, während Empfehlungen und Werbeaussagen kritisch betrachtet wurden. Von wissenschaftlicher Seite wird kaum Bedarf an Supplementen gesehen. Eine Leistungssteigerung von einigen Substanzen wird berichtet (z.B Kreatin, Sportgetränke), die Datenlage ist aber nicht immer einheitlich. Es werden meist positive und negative Resultate beschrieben. Keinesfalls kann eine pauschale Empfehlung zum Einsatz von Sporternährungsprodukten gegeben werden. Sportler können eventuell je nach Sportart von Supplementen profitieren (z.B. Kreatin im Kraftsport). Gegen Nahrungsergänzungsmittel spricht die Gefahr einer Kontamination und das damit verbundene gesundheitliche Risiko.Gesetzliche Regelungen werden nicht immer eingehalten. Für viele neuartige Substanzen ist die Datenlage schwach. Da von der Industrie ständig neue Supplemente entwickelt werden, stellt sich für die enormes Potential dar. Für die Zukunft bedeutet das, viele Produkte überprüfen zu müssen, um negative gesundheitliche Auswirkungen auszuschließen und die Sportler zu schützen.
description: The aim of this diplomathesis was the evaluation of the scientific background of products used for sports nutrition. Need, efficacy and security of the products should be discussed, while recommendations and advertising statements have to be seen critically. The need of supplements is hardly seen by scientific organisations. Ergogenic effects of some substances are reported, however, the data is not always consistent, very often positive and negative results are described for the same substance. Therefore a general recommendation can not be given for the application of supplements in sports science. Howewer, for some types of exercise (creatine in wheightlifting) specific supplementation might be needed. Furthermore, an uncertain contaminationrisk for potentially ergogenic supplements is existing. Legal regulations are not always kept. For many „new“ substances the data is weak. Constantly new supplements are developed by the industry and are rushing the market. Therefore this topic is of huge importance. For the future this means, that many products have to be checked regularly to exclude negative health effects and to protect athletes.

description: Die Existenz von Lebensmitteltafeln in einem Land wie Österreich scheint mittlerweile nicht mehr so ungewöhnlich zu sein wie 1999, als die Wiener Tafel ihre Pforten erstmals öffnete. In den Medien wird das Tafelgeschehen vor allem dahingehend thematisiert, dass die Lebensmittel einerseits nicht im Müll landen und andererseits der Versorgung einer bestimmten Klientel dienen. Ausgehend von einer teilnehmenden Beobachtung an einer exemplarisch gewählten Ausgabestelle der Team Österreich Tafel soll in dieser Arbeit transparent werden, auf welche Weise eine solche karitative Institution von Menschen, die als armutsgefährdet oder arm bezeichnet werden, in Anspruch genommen wird. Das Besondere dieser Lebensmitteltafel ist die etwas abgeschiedene Lage in einer Kleinstadt. Die regelmäßige Nutzung steht der einmaligen/seltenen Nutzung gegenüber, wobei hier die regelmäßigen Besucherinnen und Besucher der Tafel im Vordergrund stehen. Der Fokus dieses Diplomarbeitprojektes liegt darauf, wer die Nutzerinnen und Nutzer sind, wie dort Lebensmittel (nicht) weitergegeben und (nicht) angenommen werden und wie der soziale Raum gestaltet ist. Außerdem zeigt die vorliegende Studie auf Basis der erhobenen qualitativen Daten, die durch eine Verweildaueranalyse ergänzt werden, dass die sich dort herausbildende Tafelgemeinschaft einer ständigen Veränderung unterliegt, eben weil sie sich in ihrer Zusammensetzung immer wieder verändert.
description: Today the idea of the austrian “Lebensmitteltafeln” (organisations for free food distribution for people in need) seems to be not as strange as in 1999, when the “Wiener Tafel” first started to distribute food for free to people in need. The media coverage mainly transports the consequence that the not wasted food permits to help these people. The starting point of this research was a participant observation at an exemplary “Lebensmitteltafel” of the “Team Österreich Tafel”. The paper shows how people in need scope with the offered possibilities of this special place in a small town. The frequent visiting of the “Lebensmitteltafel” is the opposite strategy to a singular (an infrequent) visiting. The focus of this paper is to question who the people frequently using this place are, how they give (don’t give) and take (don’t take) the offered food, and how this social room gets its typical form. In addition the qualitative data shows – supported by a survival analysis – the ever-changing community of the people at this special “Lebensmitteltafel”.
