description: We consider the issue of testing the null of equal average forecast accuracy in a model where the forecast error loss differential series has a potentially nonconstant mean function over time. We show that when time variation is present in the loss differential mean, the standard Diebold and Mariano test, which was proposed for evaluating forecasts in a stable environment, has an asymptotic size of zero, and, whilst consistent, can have reduced local power. This arises due to inconsistent estimation of the implicit long run variance estimator, which diverges under a time varying mean. We suggest a modified statistic that replaces the standard long run variance estimator based on full-sample demeaning of the loss differential series with one based on nonparametric local demeaning. The new long run variance estimator is consistent under both the null and alternative when the mean function is time varying or constant, and in both cases, the modified test recovers the asymptotic size and power properties associated with the original test in the constant mean case. The modified test therefore provides a robust method for testing the equal average forecast accuracy null, allowing for instability in the loss differential mean. The benefits of our test are demonstrated via Monte Carlo simulation and two empirical applications.
Experience of non-Latina/o mental health clinicians providing services in Spanish
Creators: name: Braman, Daniel

Year: 2016

description: This study explored the training and experience of 12 bilingual non-Latina/o mental  health providers working with Spanish-speaking clients. Participants included 8 psychologists, 2 social workers, and 2 clinical psychology doctoral candidates with a minimum of one and a half years of experience providing Spanish-language services. The present study explored clinicians’ methods of developing competency providing clinical services in Spanish and their experience working with Spanish-speaking clients. Interviews were analyzed using elements of grounded theory, constant comparison and memo-writing, to reveal common themes and concepts. Key themes included: lack of formal training to provide services in Spanish; little if any institutional support for Spanish-speaking clinicians; increased energy required when working in Spanish; a sense of isolation; and the importance of flexibility, genuineness, and openness when engaging with Spanish-speaking clients. The scarcity of Spanish-speaking clinicians, particularly supervisors, was found to exacerbate the challenges faced by Spanish-speaking clinicians due to less training and fewer opportunities for consultation. The complexities of providing clinical services to Spanish monolingual and bilingual clients requires significant effort to attend to linguistic factors such as code-switching. Participants recommended training regarding Latin American history and culture, as well as courses on therapy in Spanish, and language-focused classes to assist in developing linguistic and cultural proficiency. Recommendations include increased hiring of both Spanish- speaking clinicians and Spanish-speaking support staff in clinics; need for training programs to provide Spanish-language learning resources, supervision, and training materials; and development of a clearinghouse of Spanish-language clinical forms to increase accuracy and availability of Spanish language forms. Development of a professional network connecting Spanish-speaking clinicians in the US would provide much needed opportunities for consultation and reflection on the experience of providing clinical services in Spanish. Most important for clinicians is cultivating an openness to learn about oneself, one’s clients, and, when uncertain about a linguistic or cultural exchange, to seek greater understanding through dialogue. This study further illustrates the significant need for increased support for Spanish-speaking clinicians throughout the mental health field, including training programs and mental health clinics.

description:
The complexity of modern financial markets poses substantial challenges for analyzing time-series data, as traditional diffusion models often fail to capture the intricate dynamics of real-world market behavior. This dissertation develops data-driven, non-Markovian methodologies to overcome these limitations, enhancing the analysis of dependencies in financial and insurance data. The research employs advanced stochastic models and machine learning techniques to address critical phenomena in finance and insurance. Notable findings include the following: a Hawkes process framework is introduced to model cascading health transitions, capturing how past events amplify the likelihood of future occurrences (Chapter 3); a discrete-time Hawkes process is used to quantify time-varying lead-lag relationships between intraday and overnight returns, uncovering predictive dynamics in asset price movements (Chapter 4); and attention-based models are applied to high-dimensional, spatiotemporal limit order book (LOB) data, enabling robust analysis and forecasting of its complex structure and behavior (Chapter 5). These findings highlight the limitations of traditional Markovian models, particularly in representing memory-dependent systems, high-frequency data, and multi-state processes. By advancing non-Markovian methods, this dissertation provides practical tools for analyzing momentum effects, cascading health transitions, and intricate market microstructures. These contributions establish a robust analytical foundation for understanding memory-dependent dynamics in finance and insurance, addressing key limitations of Markovian assumptions and opening new avenues for research and application.

Motivational factors that influence African American students' decisions to pursue higher education

description: In the last fifty years, the number of African Americans pursuing a four year college education has significantly increased (U.S. Department of Education, 2012a). When higher education participation rates include two and four year institutions, the enrollment rates for Black students are even more noteworthy. Despite this progress, the rates of college and university enrollment among African Americans are lower than other racial and ethnic groups in the United States (U.S. Department of Education, 2014). This disparity has resulted in concerns that existing supports and/or programs in earlier grades, at home, and in communities are not as effective at encouraging more of these students to pursue higher education. Understanding the factors which motivate African American youth will help enable all systems in their lives to adopt strategies and policies directed at reducing disparities and continuing increases in enrollment. This study, expanding upon research investigating academic resiliency in this population, examined the factors that motivated currently enrolled Black college students’ decisions to pursue higher education. A grounded theory approach of qualitative methodology was used to analyze interviews of ten subjects (Corbin & Strauss, 2008). The study’s findings indicated several themes arising from multiple levels of support resulting in students’ decisions to pursue higher education, such as the influence of parents and other family members; positive high school environments in which teachers and other staff members encouraged students to go to college; peers similarly engaged in the process of furthering their education; and involvement in organizations promoting academic achievement through, in some instances, mentoring programs. Additional themes explored included the communication of the message from family members and school personnel that college was an expectation, and the value of personal characteristics such as self-motivation/self–determination. Implications for future research, and relevant information for high schools, teachers, counselors, school psychologists, parents and families, students and community organizations were also discussed.

Cyaneolytta

description: Genus Cyaneolytta Péringuey, 1909
Kaszab (1953a) studied the taxonomy of this genus and clarified several synonymies, while Selander (1986) reviewed the distribution of the species. We accept here all groups of species proposed by Kaszab (1953a).
Bologna & Pinto (2001) referred Cyaneolytta to the tribe Epicautini because of its larval morphology, even if their first instar larvae are extremely distinct and specialized to phoresy on carabid beetles and possibly on bees (Bologna et al. 1990; Di Giulio et al. 2003). According to adult morphology, this genus was previously referred to Lyttini, and this tribal assignment seems to be confirmed by recent molecular studies (Pitzalis et al. in preparation).

There is no "I" in co-teacher
Creators: name: Goodhue, Denise S.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: In an effort to meet the needs of special education students in inclusion classrooms co-teaching is typically utilized as a service delivery model.  Research has identified a number of benefits to co-teaching however, a number of obstacles have been found to inhibit its effective implementation in secondary schools.  High school special education co-teachers have been found to have an inferior role in their co-teaching relationships and co-teachers have been found to lack the skills needed to collaborate effectively as a team.  Teamwork has been an area of focus for the health care and business industry but a focus on team-building in K-12 education has been lacking.      This study involved the implementation of a team-building professional development series for high school co-teachers.  The professional development included activities meant to enhance communication, problem solving, collaboration, and trust for co-teachers.  The study examined the influence participation in the professional development had on co-teaching relationships.  This study utilized a mixed-methods approach and included interviews, surveys, questionnaires, and observations as data collection methods.           The overall findings of this study demonstrate that the majority of teachers have positive perceptions of co-teaching and find it beneficial for both teachers and students.  Teachers expressed a number of frustrations regarding how administrators approach the practice of co-teaching.  Co-teachers want administrators to be more respectful of co-teaching and take their needs into account when creating schedules and providing professional development.      Participants of this study had varying degrees of satisfaction in their co-teaching dynamic prior to the start of this professional development.  All participants described having a positive experience in the professional development.  Participants expressed that team-building has a positive impact on co-teacher relationships and should be provided to pairs before the school year starts.    There was a range in the degree of impact the professional development had on participants.  Many felt that since their relationship was already positive, they did not experience drastic changes.  Others felt they made progress and are optimistic for continued growth.  Some pairs saw slight changes in their dynamic and felt that circumstances beyond their control impacted their ability to work as a team.
Early readers' perceptions of "good" reading and of themselves as readers

description: Reading is key in all aspects of education and improving reading instruction continues to be an issue of national focus.  Although there is considerable research on the nature of teaching reading from a variety of viewpoints, little has focused on student perspectives, particularly at younger levels.  The purpose of this case study is to describe early readers’ perceptions of “good” reading and how they view themselves as readers, in two classrooms with teachers who have slightly different philosophies about reading instruction.         This study focused on two second-grade classes.  First, a survey was used to identify two teachers with differing theoretical orientations to reading instruction.  Then, six students from each class were selected based on benchmark assessments and other criteria to ensure maximum variation.  Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with each teacher to gain an understanding of their reading beliefs and practices, and with the targeted students to shed light on their perceptions about reading and themselves as readers.  To help understand the classroom culture and the context for reading instruction, various typical classroom documents were collected and three observations of each class’ reading period were conducted.  Using a social constructivist framework, the data was analyzed using both deductive codes from relevant literature, as well as inductive codes that arose from patterns in the data.  The findings were developed into two separate case studies of each class, which were then compared using cross-case analysis.       The results of this study highlight students’ propensity to look to observable factors and use social comparison to evaluate and set goals for themselves as readers, thereby suggesting that the classroom culture can influence students’ perceptions.   In addition to the explicit reading instruction being delivered, students gather more implicit information as they perceive it from the standards and norms in the classroom.

Examining the (false) dichotomy between "care" and "education" in early childhood programs

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: Public preschool programs using standardized curriculum models are increasing rapidly,  and while research has shown that teacher-child relationships have been used  successfully as an intervention and compensatory measure, it is unclear what influence  the public preschool setting and the use of a curriculum model have on teacher-child  relationships. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore and describe how  teachers build relationships with children in public preschool programs while working  within the parameters of a standardized curriculum model. The research questions  guiding this study were:    1) How do preschool teachers build relationships with children while working within  a standardized curriculum model?  a) What opportunities exist for relationship building?  b) What strategies do teachers employ to build relationships with their students?  2) What are teachers’ beliefs about relationship building in the early childhood  classroom?  3) What do teachers believe impacts upon their abilities to successfully build  relationships with their students?  The participants were two public preschool teachers, working within the Curiosity  Corner curriculum model. Data sources included classroom observations, teacher  interviews, and document review. Data was analyzed using the Dedoose data analysis  software to look for patterns and themes. Analysis took place within each case and  across cases as well. Findings showed that the participants recognized their job to include both care and education. They believed that establishing comfort would create feelings of emotional security that would set the stage for learning. These teachers prioritized relationship building and relational activities in their classrooms, despite the pressures and constraints faced; however, each teacher confronted these  challenges differently, as their teaching environments varied. The Curiosity Corner  model did not appear to have a great impact on teachers’ relationship building  abilities, although extended periods of time allotted for Learning Labs and Gross  Motor Play did seem to provide opportunities for longer, more sustained interactions.
Evaluation of an international roommate-pairing program

description: There are over 700,000 international students currently studying in the U.S. (McMurtrie, 2011) contributing close to $12 billion yearly to the U.S. economy (Altbach, 2004).  Universities cannot take for granted that international students will choose U.S. institutions. While great attention and research efforts have been given to support programs like international student orientation, there is a gap in the literature examining support programs within residence halls targeting international students.  The purpose of this quantitative study was to evaluate an international roommate program (IRP) to determine its impact on international students at a large state school in the Northeast.  This research addressed the question: Does participation in an international/domestic roommate-pairing program have a positive impact on international students’ satisfaction, acclimation, academic success, navigation of the English language, and social relationships?  This research question was addressed by surveying first-year international students living in residence halls and comparing outcomes of those participating in one of the IRP programs (IRP1 and IRP2) with those not participating (NON).  Using the statistical method of Factor Analysis for data reduction of survey responses, eight variables were created based on themes addressing the primary research question.  These eight newly created variables were analyzed through ANCOVA (statistically controlling for 16 demographic variables).       The results showed differences between IRP1, IRP2, and NON groups through three key findings that were statistically significant: 1) IRP2 participants were more likely than NON participants to recommend the university others based on their residential experience; 2) IRP2 participants had greater overall satisfaction, acclimation, food satisfaction, and perceived benefit from having an American roommate than IRP1 participants; 3) IRP1 participants had lower food satisfaction than the IRP2 and NON participants.  Residential environment (living accommodations and dining) and structured support appeared to have the greatest impact on international students.   The findings of this study support the hypothesis that the program indeed had positive impacts and will contribute important information to the existing literature base and can be used by Residence Life professionals to establish effective support programs for international students within the residence halls.

Evaluating surface and deep-water changes over Eirik Drift during the late Pleistocene
Creators: name: Adamo, Lauren Neitzke
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation attempts to characterize the sedimentological and isotopic characteristics of the various end-member states of oceanic circulation within the North Atlantic Ocean during the Pleistocene.  This ocean is a critical area of deep-water formation, and surface water perturbations alter deep-water production and affect global climate.  Understanding the possible mechanisms behind these changes is critical.  The Eirik Drift is the ideal location to evaluate these changes because it lies directly in the path of an important bottom water current and sedimentation rates are high, allowing for the reconstruction of high-resolution records on Milankovitch and millennial time scales.      Analysis of a swath of cores from Eirik Drift confirms that the deep-water current fluctuates between a deeply penetrating current during the extreme interglacials and a shallow, less buoyant current during the glacial extremes.  A third intermediate mode is inferred that dominates the record.  Depositional centers shift up and down the drift in tandem with the shifts in circulation modes.    The last deglaciation was marked by a series of abrupt climate changes and disruptions in the production of deep-water.  These events are attributed to variations in freshwater fluxes to the surface ocean in response to rapid melting of ice sheets.  Reconstructed δ13C values show reduced production during the cold events and vigorous production during warmer intervals.  Resumption of deep-water production is coincident with peak meltwater discharge, questioning the validity of the meltwater hypothesis.  Results suggest substantial sea-ice cover and we propose, along with perturbations in atmospheric circulation, are the cause of these climatic changes.      To understand the cause and effect of climatic changes, the leads and lags in the proxy records need to be defined with extreme precision and requires the construction of robust age models.  Past studies rely on techniques that have inherent errors within the methodology.  By combining these methods with additional techniques such as Paleo-intensity Assisted Chronology, the age control on deep-sea sediment records can be greatly improved.

description: Proamytta Beier 1965
Type species: Amytta straminea Sjöstedt, 1912: 16.
This rather poorly defined genus is represented by nine species, restricted in their distribution to West and Central Africa. Gorochov (1993) noted a high variation in the male reproductive structures among species of this genus, and suggested the need for erecting several subgenera to reflect this diversity, but stopped short of reviewing the genus and created only one subgenus, Archamytta Gorochov (with 3 species). By default, all remaining species are placed in the nominal subgenus Proamytta Beier. The new species described below is placed tentatively in Proamytta (Proamytta) because of the close resemblance of its cerci to those found in P. (P.) straminea Sjöstedt, although the unusual modification of the male subgenital plate may in the future warrant placing it in a separate subgenus or genus.

Studies of viral tethering and its effect in the early phase of MLV life cycle
Creators: name: Addaquay, Araba
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: The p12 proteins designed to encode peptide sequences from viral tethering proteins was shown to rescue murine leukemia virus (MLV) p12 PM14 lethal mutants (Schneider et al., 2013). However, the viral tethering protein from Kaposi’s sarcoma associated herpes virus (KSHV) latency-associated nuclear antigen encoding a nuclear localization signal, LANA(1-32), could not rescue MLV p12 PM14. This isolate p12 with LANA(1-32) fused to GFP was found to bind tightly to mitotic chromosomes. We show that virus bearing p12 LANA(1-32) PM14 retain the group-specific antigen (Gag) precursor inside the nucleus and that insertion of a nuclear export signal (NES) is able to counterbalance the effect of the NLS (nuclear localization signal). However, viral kinetics of MLV p12 LANA(1-32) PM14 with or without the NES indicates that the virus is still not viable. This suggests that the original hypothesis of the tight tethering domain that is p12 LANA(1-32) is detrimental to MLV infection.

description: The surge limit of centrifugal compressors is a key parameter in the design process of modern turbochargers. Numerical methods like steady-state simulations are state-of-the-art methods for predicting the performance of the centrifugal compressor. In contrast to that, the determination of the surge limit with any numerical method is still an unsolved challenge. Since the extensive work of Greitzer and many other researchers in this field, it is well-known that surge is a system-dependent phenomenon. In the case of steady-state simulations, the simulation domain is chosen to be as small as possible due to the numerical cost. This simply implies that there is no system information included in the numerical model. Therefore, it is not possible to determine any system-dependent surge limit with today’s applied numerical methods. To overcome this issue, an enhanced Greitzer surge model, which has been developed at Tu Darmstadt, should act as a link between the simulation and the system in which the compressor will be operated. The focus of this paper will rather be on the methodology of determining the surge limit by means of numerical data than on the surge model itself. The methodology will be validated by experimental data of different systems.
Regulation of planar cell polarity by the Dachsous-Fat pathway
Creators: name: Ambegaonkar, Abhijit Ashok
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Planar cell polarity is the polarization of cells within the plane of a tissue. The Dachsous-Fat pathway plays a key role in the regulation of planar cell polarity and growth during the development of an organism. The transmembrane cadherins Fat and Dachsous from neighboring cells interact heterophilically and regulate the localization of the unconventional myosin Dachs in a cell. Four-jointed, a Golgi-localized kinase modulates the binding between Dachsous and Fat. Dachsous and Four-jointed are expressed in tissue-wide gradients, which influence Fat activity and direct the polarized membrane localization of Dachs.         We demonstrate that differential expression of Dachsous or Four-jointed can modulate Dachs polarization at a distance in wing discs. This indicates that Dachsous and Four-jointed gradients can be measured over long range in a tissue through propagation of polarity. We also show that Dachsous and Fat are partially polarized along the endogenous Dachsous and Four-jointed gradients, providing a mechanism for propagation of polarity. Through directed membrane targeting of Dachs, we show that membrane localization of Dachs influences both planar cell polarity and the Hippo signaling pathway. These studies help in understanding the mechanisms involved in establishment and maintenance of planar cell polarity.        The Frizzled pathway is another key pathway that regulates planar cell polarity, but its relationship with the Dachsous-Fat pathway was unclear. We demonstrate that Dachs and Dachsous can independently interact with a Frizzled pathway component, Spiny-legs, and direct its localization in vivo. Thus, the Dachsous-Fat pathway provides directional input to the Frizzled pathway by influencing the localization of Spiny-legs. These studies help in understanding how planar cell polarity is regulated in various tissues through coordination between Dachsous-Fat and Frizzled pathways. These studies also reveal that Spiny-legs and its isoform Prickle can respond to distinct planar cell polarity signals and allow the cells to compare and choose between these competing signals to direct polarity robustly in one direction.         Thus, our results identify a mechanism for propagation of planar cell polarity through the tissue, establish the significance of Dachs membrane localization in Dachsous-Fat signaling and identify a molecular mechanism for crosstalk between the two planar cell polarity pathways.
