description: Results of a search for Higgs boson pair (HH) production with one Higgs boson decaying to two bottom quarks and the other to two W bosons are presented. The search is done using proton-proton collisions data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{−1}$ recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC from 2016 to 2018. The final states considered include at least one leptonically decaying W boson. No evidence for the presence of a signal is observed and corresponding upper limits on the HH production cross section are derived. The limit on the inclusive cross section of the nonresonant HH production, assuming that the distributions of kinematic observables are as expected in the standard model (SM), is observed (expected) to be 14 (18) times the value predicted by the SM, at 95% confidence level. The limits on the cross section are also shown as functions of various Higgs boson coupling modifiers, and anomalous Higgs boson coupling scenarios. In addition, limits are set on the resonant HH production via spin-0 and spin-2 resonances within the mass range 250–900 GeV.

description: В статье рассматривается ситуация в полиэтнических республиках России в начале 1990-х гг. Принятая 12 июня 1990 г. Декларация о государственном суверенитете РСФСР стала катализатором прокатившегося уже по территории России «парада суверенитетов». Вслед за аналогичным примером на «союзном» уровне о своей самостоятельности стали заявлять автономные республики, области и округа России. Однако на этом дезинтеграционные процессы в России не закончились – началась суверенизация отдельных проживающих народов в полиэтнических республиках России. Рассматривается складывавшаяся ситуация в Дагестане, Кабардино-Балкарии, Карачаево-Черкессии и Чечено-Ингушетии. Пик процесса суверенизации народов в указанных республиках пришёлся на 1992 г. К концу того года почти все полиэтнические республики России, кроме Чечено-Ингушетии, смогли сохранить своё единство и начать процесс своего становления в рамках нового федеративного российского государства.

description: This study investigates the performance of road repair materials using digital image correlation (DIC). Cementitious mortar prisms were produced for slant shear testing and repaired using a commercial belitic calcium sulfoaluminate (BSCA) mortar or polyurethane-based repair material. The repaired prisms were subjected to a slant shear test under repeated loading and unloading, and DIC was utilised to measure and compare the strain developed across the repaired prisms. The DIC-generated strain maps show clear differences in the strain between the two repair materials: the prisms repaired with the BCSA mortar showed less pronounced strain under loading across the prisms until the final loading, whereas the prisms repaired with the polyurethane-based materials exhibited a pronounced but consistent positive and negative strain. These differences in the strain across the samples are attributed to the difference in the elastic modulus of the two repair materials. This work highlights the potential of using DIC to assess the performance of road repair materials for their development in the laboratory and contributes to the longer-term objective of digitising road networks towards safer and longer-lasting roads.

Внешняя политика Ирана определена геополитическим положением в регионе Большого Ближнего Востока, энергетическими, экономическими ресурсами, духовно-цивилизационным наследием. Существуют два основных внешнеполитических вектора внешней политики Ирана шиитская ось, связывающая шиитские государства и народы Иран с Ираком, Сирией, Ливаном. Вторая ось связывает Иран с населением Южного Кавказа и некоторых субъектов Северного Кавказа Российской Федерации. Кавказ для геополитической стратегии Ирана является второстепенным регионом, тем не менее, чрезвычайно важным с точки зрения обеспечения военной безопасности, экономического сотрудничества и духовно-цивилизационной взаимосвязи древнейшей персидской культуры с кавказской культурой. Кавказ является своеобразным защитным поясом Ирана в связи с Россией, Западом, окном в Европу. Во внешнеполитической стратегии Ирана существенным элементом является недопущение на Кавказ нерегиональных игроков политической игры на Большой Кавказ, его главных противников США, Израиля и Саудовской Аравии. Россия для Ирана является стратегическим партнером. По отношению к республикам Южного Кавказа Армении, Азербайджана и Грузии Исламская республика Иран проводит прагматичную и диверсификационную политику, признавая их суверенитет, территориальную целостность, невмешательство во внутренние дела. Иран пытается вернуть себе роль регионального центра на Большом Кавказе, обладая для этого всеми необходимыми политическими, экономическими и символическими ресурсами, чтобы проводить самостоятельную, более активную политику во всех областях, не исключая и решение конфликтных проблем.

Machine Learning

description: Distributionally Robust Optimization (DRO) was initially proposed as a technique to train a model with higher weights for more difficult data samples, thereby improving model robustness. However, the philosophy behind DRO can be extended to improve other machine learning applications, not just Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM) at the data instance level. The question naturally arises: can we use DRO to make other machine learning applications more robust? This thesis seeks to adapt the philosophy of DRO to broader machine learning applications, namely, Pool-based Active Learning, Partial AUC Optimization, Multi-class Classification, and Multiple Instance Learning.
description: To begin, we provide an overview of DRO in the background section of this thesis. In chapter 2, we adapt DRO from passive learning to active learning by unifying model training on labeled data and data querying on unlabeled data. We propose using DRO as exact and soft estimators for partial AUC optimization in chapter 3. In chapter 4, we explore the connection between DRO and multi-class classification, where we investigate and enhance classification consistency, robustness, and adaptivity. Finally, in chapter 5, we propose stochastic pooling methods for multiple instance learning based on DRO and attention mechanisms.
description: Overall, this thesis seeks to extend the application of DRO to various machine learning tasks, beyond the traditional ERM approach. By leveraging the philosophy of DRO, we aim to make machine learning algorithms more robust and adaptable in various real-world scenarios.

Aging

description: Post-Jungian analytical psychologist Lars Tornstam proposes gerotranscendence as the culminating stage of psychic maturation. It is the last phase of Jungian “individuation,” in which previously extroverted psychic energies refocus toward introversion and alignment with the cumulative insights of a lifetime. The longer one lives, Tornstam suggests, the more time one has to construct a self—to individuate and cross into gerotranscendence. Contrary to the introverted and secluded expressions of gerotranscendence outlined in Tornstam’s work, American poet Walt Whitman’s senescence was a public performance. As scholar Ed Folsom has argued, “one of the most remarkable things about Whitman is that as his health deteriorated, he increased his publishing activity.” Death and dying—always prominent in Whitman’s writing—became driving themes in his late-life miscellanies of gathered poetry and prose, November Boughs (1888) and Good-Bye My Fancy (1891), as well as in his extensive correspondence from the period. Adding to a growing discourse devoted to Whitman’s late life, this dissertation strives to keep the poetry and prose of his late-life miscellanies intertwined by reading them as ensembles. Placing Whitman’s miscellanies in a larger historical context (an approach enriched by the extensive body of manuscripts, correspondence, and reminiscences from his disciples available on the digital Walt Whitman Archive) allows us to understand his personal and public statements of senescence and death within the frame of his nineteenth-century circumstances—including medical, religious, and print culture. This study integrates this cultural-historical approach with recently proposed psychological structures of aging to demonstrate Whitman scholarship’s relevancy to our evolving understanding of mortality, transcendence, and the self.

description: Precisely measuring the large-scale structure of the universe is key to learning about fundamental physics. This thesis focuses on two of the most pressing problems in fundamental physics; massive neutrinos and dark energy, and explores what can be learnt from precise measurements of the large-scale structure of the universe. First, I examine the precision required for large-scale structure measurements to determine the neutrino hierarchy when combined with current particle physics results. The neutrino hierarchy refers to the ordering of the neutrino masses, and is a key question in neutrino physics. Particle physics and cosmology provide complementary information about neutrinos so a joint analysis is highly desirable. However, the method of incorporating prior knowledge about neutrinos into the analysis can strongly influence any results. I therefore developed a prior which is agnostic to the hierarchy by design, and used it to set a conclusive target precision for upcoming cosmological experiments. Second, I forecast whether including weak lensing magnification in future large-scale structure analyses can improve the constraints on dark energy and dark matter. Weak gravitational lensing is one of the key probes in forthcoming galaxy surveys, such as the Vera Rubin Observatory. Usually, the signal is detected by measuring distortions to the shapes of millions of galaxies - weak lensing shear. However, it can also be detected by measuring fluctuations in the number density of galaxies across the sky - weak lensing magnification. Weak lensing magnification only requires a count of galaxies to be made, as opposed to a measurement of their shape so is therefore traceable even for the very faint, small, and distant galaxies. In this thesis, I determined whether including weak lensing magnification in upcoming deep large-scale structure analyses improves the final cosmological constraints.

description: Aldosterone is considered to exert direct effects on the myocardium and the sympathetic nervous system. Both QT time and heart rate (HR) variability (HRV) are considered to be markers of arrhythmic risk and autonomous dysregulation. In this study, we investigated the associations between aldosterone, QT time, and HRV in patients with arterial hypertension. We recruited 477 hypertensive patients (age: 60.2 ± 10.2 years; 52.3% females) with a mean systolic/diastolic 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) value of 128 ± 12.8/77.1 ± 9.2 mmHg and with a median of 2 (IQR: 1–3) antihypertensive agents. Patients were recruited from the outpatient clinic at the Department of Internal Medicine of the Medical University of Graz, Austria. Blood samples, 24-hour HRV derived from 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and ECG's were obtained. Plasma aldosterone and plasma renin concentrations were measured by means of a radioimmunoassay. Twenty-four-hour urine specimens were collected in parallel with ABPM. Mean QTc was 423.3 ± 42.0 milliseconds for males and 434.7 ± 38.3 milliseconds for females. Mean 24H-HR and 24H-HRV was 71.9 ± 9.8 and 10.0 ± 3.6 bpm, respectively. In linear regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, ABPM, and current medication, aldosterone to active renin ratio (AARR) was significantly associated with the QTc interval, a marker for cardiac repolarization abnormalities (mean = 426 ± 42.4 milliseconds; β-coefficient = 0.121; P = 0.03) as well as with the 24-hour heart rate variability a surrogate for autonomic dysfunction (median = 9.67 [IQR = 7.38–12.22 bpm]; β-coefficient = −0.133; P = 0.01). In hypertensive patients, AARR is significantly related to QTc prolongation as well as HRV. Further studies investigating the effects of mineralocorticoid receptor blocker and aldosterone synthase inhibitors on QTc and HRV are warranted.

description: What it means to be well is a central human question. Psychological well-being can be operationalized along six domains: autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance. Although the fields of neuroscience and psychology have devoted much more attention to the investigation of human suffering and unhappiness than to the determinants of positive functioning, recent work has begun to investigate various correlates of psychological well-being. The current study aimed to examine the neural correlates of psychological well-being. In particular, this work aimed to examine if there is a relationship between the location of brain damage and self-reported psychological well-being in patients who have experienced a neurological event. We found no differences in psychological well-being between individuals with neurological damage, people with a history of cancer, or healthy comparison participants. However, additional analyses showed a relationship between psychological well-being and brain damage in the medial prefrontal cortex of the right brain. Specifically, damage to this area was associated with higher levels of positive relations with others and purpose in life. Understanding the neural correlates of well-being could have important future clinical implications, especially when considered in tandem with other correlates of well-being.

description: My thesis work is a performance that uses a live camera to capture dance on a proscenium stage and projects it on a downstage scrim. The audience can see through the scrim’s projection to observe dancers and camera movement upstage. Today, internet access has made unveiling digital art techniques a secondary performance through tutorials and “behind-the- scenes" explanations. This work is situated in a constant “behind-the-scenes" point of view. It is a performance of method as well as a performance of the relationship between live action and real-time feedback. It makes the “cause and effect” visible on the stage and scrim, which offers a viewing experience that is different from solely stage performance or cinema. The choreography considers a dialogue between the stage performers and mediated bodies on the scrim to ask how they co-exist. Knowledge of the inscribed dancing body is used to create movements of the camera as an extension of the body. To support my research, I am utilizing a growing archive of sources which currently includes written work by Sita Popat, Douglas Rosenberg, Karen Wood, Kim Vincs, Christine Whyte, Peggy Phelan, Jennifer Nikolai, and bell hooks.

description: Seasonal adaptation is a ubiquitous behavior seen in many species on both global hemispheres and is conveyed by changing photoperiods. In humans this seasonal adaptation is less apparent, in part because changes in daylength are masked by the use of electrical lighting at night. On the other hand, cataracts which reduce light transmission, may compound seasonal changes related to the reduced daylength of winter. To better understand the effects of different photoperiod lengths in healthy adults without and with cataracts, we tested their melanopsin-mediated light responses in summer vs. winter. Fifty-two participants (mean age 67.4 years; 30 with bilateral cataracts and 22 age-matched controls with clear lenses; pseudophakes) were tested twice, once in summer and once in winter. At each test session we assessed the electroretinogram and pupil responses during daytime and we determined melatonin suppression, subjective sleepiness and mood in response to light exposure in the evening. Circadian rest-activity cycles and sleep from activity recordings were also analyzed for both seasons. Both groups had similar visual function. There were no seasonal differences in the electroretinogram. For the pupil responses to bright blue light, the post- illumination pupil response (PIPR) was greater in winter than summer in pseudophakes, but not in cataract participants, whereas melatonin suppression to acute light exposure showed no differences between both groups and seasons. Overall, intra-daily variability of rest-activity was worse in winter but participants felt sleepier and reported worse mood at the laboratory in evening time in the summer. Those with cataracts had poorer sleep quality with lower sleep efficiency, and higher activity during sleep in winter than summer. In this study, the PIPR showed a seasonal variation in which a larger response was found during winter. This variation was only detected in participants with a clear intraocular lens. In the cataract group, visual function was not impaired yet these participants showed a lack of seasonal changes in the pupil response to blue light and poorer sleep in winter. These findings raise the question for tailored lighting conditions for cataract patients in order to counter potentially deleterious effects of living with chronically lower light exposure.

description: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) aim to understand the genetic component of complex (multifactorial) disease phenotypes, such as addiction and psychiatric disorders, which do not obey the standard Mendelian rules of inheritance. However, the heritability of addiction and psychiatric disorders cannot be explained only by the genetic variants identified by GWAS studies. Both genetic variants and environmental factors play a role in developing complex diseases. The interaction between genetic variants and the environment is translated as epigenetic modifications, which lead to changes to gene function without changes to the underlying DNA sequence itself. One of the most well-studied epigenetic modifications in humans is DNA methylation. It is established and maintained by a specialized group of enzymes called DNA methyltransferases that attach a methyl group to a cytosine nucleotide when it is usually located before guanine (CpG site). DNA methylation changes the phenotypic consequences of the genetic variants. Thus, to fully understand the functional role of potential genetic variants that are associated with addiction and psychiatric disorders it is essential to study the relationship between these genetic variants and DNA methylation of the adjacent CpG sites. Therefore, we conducted three projects to study DNA methylation and its relation to genetic variations in cocaine addiction, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and suicidal behavior.
description: My Ph.D. research contributed significantly to our understanding of the complex interaction between genetic variants and the environment by investigating how individuals' epigenetic changes (particularly changes in DNA methylation) are linked to complex disorders, with the goal of developing DNA methylation-based biomarkers. My research discovered specific DNA methylation differences linked to mental health disorders (bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and suicidal behavior), which helps us understand the biological mechanisms underlying these diseases.

Removal of arsenic from water using adsorption on alumina/membrane separation.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: Engineering, Chemical.

description: A novel process has been developed to remove arsenic from wastewater and contaminated water effectively. The process consists of three major steps: adsorption of arsenic on finely dispersed activated alumina, separation of adsorbent particles from the liquid phase via membrane separation, and regeneration of the adsorbent. The effect of process parameters such as pH, residence time, adsorbent characteristics, presence of competing ions, and initial arsenic concentration were studied. A number of commercially available alumina samples were characterized and tested. Spent activated alumina was successfully regenerated at pH 12, using sodium hydroxide, and reused. Up to 70% of the adsorbed arsenic was desorbed during the regeneration of spent alumina. Arsenic concentrations of less than 50 $\mu$g/L were obtained within 10 minutes from initial arsenic levels of greater than 40 mg/L. The best samples of alumina were those with the smallest particle size (4 $\mu$m in diameter) and the largest surface area (880 m$\sp2$/g). The optimum pH for the arsenic removal was found to be in the range of 2 to 5. The effect of sulphate as a competing species on the overall rate of the adsorption process was not significant for sulphate concentrations of up to 100 mg/L. Two different membrane systems were tested for the separation of the alumina particles from treated water: (1) a hollow fibre membrane module with a pore size of 200,000 molecular cut-off and a surface area of 0.5 m$\sp2$ and (2) an ENKA polypropylene Tubular membrane with a nominal pore size of 0.2 $\mu$m and a surface area of 0.036 m$\sp2.$ Adsorbent concentrations of up to 60 g/L were easily handled by the membrane systems tested and a stable flux over a period of one day was observed.

description: Microplastic particles (MPP) occur in various environmental compartments all over the world. They have been frequently investigated in oceans, freshwaters, and sediments, but studying their distribution in space and time is somewhat limited by the time-consuming nature of the available accurate detection strategies. Here, we present an enhanced application of lab-based near-infrared imaging (NIR) spectroscopy to identify the total number of MPP, classify polymer types, and determine particle sizes while maintaining short measuring times. By adding a microscopic lens to the hyperspectral camera and a cross slide table to the setup, the overall detectable particle size has been decreased to 100 Ìm in diameter. To verify and highlight the capabilities of this enhanced, semi-automated detection strategy, it was applied to key areas of microplastic research, such as a lowland river, the adjacent groundwater wells, and marine beach sediments. Results showed mean microplastic concentrations of 0.65 MPP/L in the Havel River close to Berlin and 0.004 MPP/L in the adjacent groundwater. The majority of MPP detected in the river were PP and PE. In 8 out of 15 groundwater samples, no MPP was found. Considering only the samples with quantifiable MPP, then on average 0.01 MPP/L was present in the groundwater (98.5% removal during bank filtration). The most abundant polymers in groundwater were PE, followed by PVC, PET, and PS. Mean MPP concentrations at two beaches on the German Baltic Sea coast were 5.5~MPP/kg at the natural reserve Heiligensee and Hüttelmoor and 47.5 MPP/kg at the highly frequented Warnemünde beach.

description: A noise analysis for a Common-Collector-Cascode traveling wave HBT preamplifier is developed, resulting in an expression for the preamplifier's equivalent input noise current density. A photoreceiver, consisting of a P-I-N and GaAs HBT MMIC distributed amplifier, was implemented using Nortel's GaAs HBT (f T = 70GHz) process. The noise performance of the P-I-N preamplifier was predicted based on the noise analysis equations. The P-I-N preamplifier, having a measured bandwidth of 22GHz, displayed a measured average equivalent input noise current density of 24 pA/Hz . Good agreement was obtained between the predicted and measured noise performance. The analysis gives useful insight into the dominant noise contributions of the preamplifier. An 8-stage HBT distributed amplifier was successfully developed. By considering the various issues involved in its design, a design procedure for monolithic distributed amplifiers is presented. The implementation of the HBT preamplifier is described and its measured results are given. From the excellent agreement between the predicted and measured performance, the design method is considered validated. The successful operation of the distributed amplifier, which provides 15dB gain and 35GHz 3dB bandwidth, fulfills the objective of experimental verification. The implemented photoreceiver is the first to have a P-I-N mounted on the MMIC chip.

description: Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (DCA) capacity along with the degree of internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis and characteristics of the plaque can also play an important role in selection of appropriate treatment strategy. This study aims to classify the patients with severe ICA stenosis according to preoperative state of DCA and to assess its dynamics after surgery. Thirty- five patients with severe ICA stenosis having different clinical type of disease underwent reconstructive surgery. DCA was assessed with transfer function analysis (TFA) by calculating phase shift (PS) between Mayer waves of blood flow velocity (BFV) and blood pressure (BP) before and after operation. In 18 cases, regardless of clinical type, preoperative PS on ipsilateral side was within the normal range and did not change considerably after surgery. In other 17 cases preoperative PS was reliably lower both in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic stenosis. Surgical reconstruction led to restoration of impaired DCA evidenced by significant increase of PS in postoperative period. Our data suggest that regardless clinical type of disease various state of DCA may be present in patients with severe ICA stenosis. This finding can contribute to establishing the optimal treatment strategy, and first of all for asymptomatic patients. Patients with compromised DCA should be considered as ones with higher risk of stroke and first candidates for reconstructive surgery.
Туркестаника и новый взгляд на имперскую политику в отношении национальных окраин (о коллективной монографии «Туркестан в имперской политике России: Монография в документах / отв. ред. Т. В. Котюкова. М.: Кучково Поле, 2016. 880 с.»)

description: В рецензии рассматривается коллективная монография российских (С.Н. Абашин и Т.В. Котюкова) и узбекистанских (Б.М. Бабаджанов и О.А. Махмудов) ученых-историков, в которой поднимается вопрос своеобразной унификации взгляда на прошлое Туркестанского генералгубернаторства совместными усилиями исследователями из разных стран. Особое внимание уделяется попытке создать дискуссионное поле вокруг истории края. Как ни странно, но новизна данной работы видится в том, что авторы возвращаются к фундаментальным проблемам «большой истории» в рамках имперского нарратива, следую советской традиции издания тематических сборников архивных документов. Вместе с тем актуальность труда состоит в том, что авторы по-разному преодолевают односторонность советского и современного историографических направлений изучения Русского Туркестана. Авторами приводятся различные точки зрения на характер вхождения региона в состав Российской империи. Вместе с тем опубликованные документы относятся в основном к военным чинам и местной администрации, в результате чего реанимируется подход «сверху» в имперских процессах. Выборка документов показывает нам иное лицо имперской администрации как стороны осуществлявшей расширение Росси на Востоке. Монография в документах представляет собой опыт многолетней работы авторов в архивных хранилищах России и Узбекистана и представляет большой интерес для историков.
Perceived benefits of ehealth implementations to healthcare workers and patients

description: The implementation of new strategies in healthcare, including electronic health records and telemedicine, require thoughtful change management to deliver optimal implementation. We surveyed staff and patients to determine the perceived needs of each group and to identify the benefits they perceive will flow from new initiatives. Staff and patients agreed on benefits that included SMS appointment reminders, but were indeterminate about video-consultation and SMS reminders for medication. It is likely that concerns regarding unmet needs such as skillbase, funding and reliability led to skepticism regarding the value of new interventions.
Attachment, trauma, and adjustment to university.

description: Late-adolescents face the challenges of leaving their families and creating lives of their own. Research has focussed on factors affecting their adjustment as they make this transition. Attachment theory is a useful model for understanding this process of adjustment, as moving away from home has been likened to a naturally occurring adolescent-equivalent of the Strange Situation that is used to measure security and style of attachment in infants. First year university students compose a large population of late-adolescents who recently left home, and attachment theory has been used as a basis for understanding the process of adjustment to university. The security of students' attachments to their parents impacts upon their adjustment in several domains. This research has not been linked to the growing literature on adult attachment styles. History of exposure to trauma has been linked to attachment style and to psychological adjustment in undergraduate students, but has not been linked directly to the process of adjustment to university. In the current study, the impacts on adjustment to university of security of attachment to parents, adult attachment style, and history of exposure to trauma were examined using path-analytic models. It was proposed that relationships between security of attachment to parents and adjustment to university would be entirely mediated by adult attachment style. It was also proposed that trauma and its negative after effects would have both direct impacts on adjustment to university, and indirect impacts through attachment style. The results did not support adult attachment style as a strong mediator of the relationship between security of attachment to parents and adjustment to university. Security of attachment style did predict self-perceived academic and social adjustment. Security of attachment style at the beginning of the year was a more important predictor than security of attachment style later in the year. Having a more preoccupied attachment style was linked to conformity motives for drinking. Trauma and its negative after effects had strong impacts on self-perceived emotional adjustment, also impacted significantly upon academic and social adjustment, and was related to drinking to cope with negative affect. The impact of trauma on adjustment in all domains was stronger later in the year than at the beginning of the year. The results are discussed in terms of implications for attachment theory, for the process of adjustment to university, and for the facilitation of adjustment among insecure and previously traumatized students.
Health information practices of young parents

description: Despite societal investment in providing health information to young parents, little is known about the health information practices of young parents themselves. This constructivist grounded theory study investigates the health information practices of young mothers and fathers (age 16-23) in Greater Vancouver, Canada. Data was collected over 16 months via individual interviews with 39 young parents (37 mothers, 2 fathers) and observations at young parent programs. Inductive analysis was iterative with data collection. Young parent health information practices emerged, clustering around concepts of information seeking, assessment, and use, with sharing conceptualized as a form of use. Many young parents were sophisticated information seekers, and most were highly networked using mobile technology. While access to information was rarely a barrier, assessment of the large quantity of health-related information posed challenges. These findings are not generalizable to all populations. Newly-identified information seeking practices such as defensive and subversive seeking should be explored further in future research. Rather than focusing on quantity of information, health and information professionals trying to reach young parents should focus on fostering information literacy skills and building relationships as trusted information providers. Young parent experiences of social marginalization influenced their information practices and should be taken into consideration. This first investigation of young parent information practices can guide services and resources for young parents, suggests that sharing might be conceptualized as a subset of use, and highlights new information seeking practices by marginalized individuals, such as defensive and subversive seeking.
