Conceptions of heroic leadership in civil society
Creators: name: Thorkildsen, Theresa
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: While nations face multiple disruptions to civil society, individuals in late adolescence and early adulthood are overlooked for heroic leadership opportunities in some cultures. An underestimation of individuals’ abilities is sometimes fostered by biological definitions of human development that align competence with physical changes in the brain (Blakemore, 2012). Prolonged exposure to such disregard can encourage individuals to restrict the information they notice, fostering distortion in the intentions that support leadership readiness (Pratkanis, 2007). Studies of individuals’ conceptions of how the world operates can improve leadership readiness if such evidence is used to verify that individuals notice essential information. Using this logic to explore undergraduates’ readiness for heroic leadership, a highly diverse sample of individuals in late adolescence and early adulthood shared their understanding of human rights and civil society. These trait-focused conceptions were then compared with dispositional conceptions of heroism to explore variance in undergraduates’ readiness to embrace heroic opportunities.

description: The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft has transited the inner-most regions of the zodiacal cloud and detects impacts to the spacecraft body via its electric field instrument. Multiple dust populations have been proposed to explain the PSP dust impact rates. PSP's unique orbit allows us to identify a region where the impact rates are likely dominated by $α$-meteoroids, small zodiacal grains on approximately circular, bound orbits. From the distribution of voltage signals generated by dust impacts to PSP in this region, we find the cumulative mass index for grains with radii of $\sim$0.6-1.4 $μ$m (masses of $3\times10^{-15}$ to $3\times10^{-14}$ kg) to be $α= 1.1 \pm 0.3$ from 0.1-0.25 $R_\odot$. $α$ increases toward the Sun, with even smaller fragments generated closer to the Sun. The derived size distribution is steeper than previously estimated, and in contrast to expectations we find most of the dust mass resides in the smallest fragments and not in large grains inside 0.15 au. As the inner-most regions of the zodiacal cloud are likely collisionally evolved, these results place new constraints how the solar system's zodiacal cloud and by extension astrophysical debris disks are partitioned in mass.

description: Blanco 1 is an $\approx 130\,\mathrm{Myr}$ open cluster located 240 pc from the Sun below the Galactic plane. Recent studies have reported the existence of diffuse tidal tails extending 50-60 pc from the cluster center based on the positions and velocities measured by Gaia. To independently assess the reality and extent of this structure, we used light curves generated from TESS full-frame images to search for photometric rotation periods of stars in and around Blanco 1. We detected rotation periods down to a stellar effective temperature of $\approx 3100\,\mathrm{K}$ in 347 of the 603 cluster member candidates for which we have light curves. For cluster members in the core and candidate members in the tidal tails, both within a temperature range of 4400 to 6200 K, 74% and 72% of the rotation periods are consistent with the single-star gyrochronological sequence, respectively. In contrast, a comparison sample of field stars yielded gyrochrone-consistent rotation periods for only 8.5% of stars. The tidal tail candidates' overall conformance to the core members' gyrochrone sequence implies that their contamination ratio is consistent with zero and < 0.33 at the $2σ$ level. This result confirms the existence of Blanco 1 tidal tails and doubles the number of Blanco 1 members for which there are both spatio-kinematic and rotation-based cluster membership verification. Extending the strategy of using TESS light curves for gyrochronology to other nearby young open clusters and stellar associations may provide a viable strategy for mapping out their dissolution and broadening the search for young exoplanets.

Portfolio selection, pead anomaly and value relevance of earnings
Creators: name: Liu, Sangsang
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Finance and accounting research has recently focused on extracting the tone or sentiment  of a document by using positive or negative words/phrases in the document. The first  essay of this dissertation exploits the information content of qualitative data in addition to  quantitative signals in selecting optimal portfolios. Using optimization techniques  developed by Brandt, Santa-Clara, and Valkonov[2009], this essay shows that  significantly higher returns can be obtained combining quantitative and qualitative data  obtained from firms’ Management Discussion and Analysis sections of their Form 10-Q  (10-K) SEC filings than just using quantitative signals.  The second essay uses option market characteristics to examine the two leading  explanations for the Post-Earnings-Announcement Drift (PEAD) anomaly. PEAD points  towards an inexplicable inefficiency in the equity markets where traders seem to ignore  the autocorrelations in extreme earnings surprises across adjacent quarters. By contrast,  there is mounting evidence that option markets are very efficient. If so, there should be  no PEAD like anomaly in the pricing of equity options. This essay tests this using a  straddle strategy around earnings announcements and its empirical results indicate that  option traders already incorporate the autocorrelation in extreme earnings surprises in  option prices. It also uses the change in implied volatilities obtained from options prices immediately before and after the earnings announcements as risk metric to examine the  risk premium hypothesis of PEAD. However, its findings favor the competing underreaction  hypothesis, which assumes equity traders do not completely utilize the autocorrelations  of earnings surprises.  The third essay examines the potential explanations for the observed decline in the value  relevance of earnings over the years by exploring the time-series change of information  transfer. Specifically, it examines how the importance of information transfer itself  changes over time and the time-series change in value relevance of earnings by industry.  It shows that the decline in usefulness of earnings is not significant in all industries,  although the decline is significant on average. It also indicates that the time-series change  in the magnitude of information transfer is insignificant on average and for most  industries, after controlling for the decline in the value relevance of earnings over time.

Property rights theory and ownership of firm-specific advantages
Creators: name: Magelssen, Catherine
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Firm-specific advantages (FSAs) play a critical role in the theory of the multinational firm.  Firms establish foreign operations when their FSAs are not suitable to outsource or license in the market.  However, the same assets deemed unsuitable for external contracting and licensing are extensively contracted and licensed within the multinational firm.  The parent and/or subsidiaries that are the economic owners of the assets contract other entities within the firm to perform activities such as R&D, manufacturing, and distribution and pay them a guaranteed return for their activities.  Internal ownership of FSAs has implications on the risks borne, incentives, resource allocation, and power distribution within the firm.  Using a unique, confidential dataset on the internal transactions of multinational firms, including intra-firm product flows, economic ownership of FSAs, financials, and detailed specifications of the activities of subsidiaries within the firm, I examine the determinants of the structure of economic ownership of FSAs as well as the impact of FSA ownership on innovation within the multinational firm.
Islamic revival in the Middle East: the case of the Qubaisyate movement in Syria
Creators: name: Mahmandar, Sana
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Syria has prided itself throughout modern history of being a secular state, with no official religion, in the heart of the Islamic and Arab world. The reality however, is that the country is facing the same wave that is overcoming the whole region and battling the same issues as other Islamic and Arab states that are currently being overwhelmed with the phenomenon of religious revivalism. One of the major instruments of Islamic revivalism in Syria is an all-women grassroots social movement called the Qubaisyate, which was successful in becoming a substantial driving force behind the rise toward religious conservatism, not only in Syria, but also in other Arab and Muslim countries, reaching as far as Europe and the United States. This study argues that the emergence of the Qubaisyate Islamic movement in the heart of the capital of Ba’athist Syria since the early 1960s, and multiplying to hundreds of thousands of followers in the present day, is due to the rising influence of Islamic revivalism in the Middle East which had influenced the growth of the Islamic sector in Syria, including the Qubaisyate movement.   This study will embark on the major theoretical approaches to studying social movements; by combining the concept of political opportunities that reflect the state-centered approach of Political Process theory, mobilizing structures that draw on the entrepreneurial-organizational version of Resource Mobilization theory, as well as the concept of cultural framing and identities in order to bring in ideas, meanings and cultural element. In addressing these three general areas, this research tries to answer how and why the Qubaisyate movement is rising as a significant socio-religious player in Syria despite the totalitarian and secular environment of Syrian politics, which was enforced by the Ba’ath regime for more than five decades.

description: This is the first research project in New Jersey to focus on West Indian elected officials. The primary goals were to gain an understanding of how they campaigned for office, whether and how they have maintained ties to their ethnic communities and how they self-identify.  After exploring various facets of their lives including their immigration to the U.S., education, employment, desire to run for office and the political structure of New Jersey, I find that the typical West Indian elected official is a well-educated, oftentimes entrepreneurial, middle-aged community activist who shares strong ethnic ties in the States and back home. More often than not, they gain the confidence and support of key local political actors who help them to successfully secure office in both majority white and majority co-ethnic communities.

description: Background: Hip fracture is common in older adults and often requires surgical intervention. Co-management of these patients by geriatricians and orthopedic surgeons has been linked to better outcomes; however, little is known about the allocation of nurse resources and the quality of care in elderly surgical patients.  Objective: Examine the allocation of nurse resources in safety net hospitals and non-safety net hospitals and the association between nurse resources and outcomes in elderly patients admitted for surgical repair of hip fracture. Outcomes of interest included in-hospital-mortality, length of stay (LOS) and prolonged length of stay (PLOS). Methods: Retrospective study of all patients 65 years of age and older (n = 10,686) admitted to New Jersey acute care hospitals from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011 for surgical repair of hip fracture.  Data were from New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, New Jersey Hospital Association, State Inpatient Database, American Nurses Credentialing Center and Hospital Alliance of New Jersey. Data were merged and examined using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: There was no difference in allocation of nurse resources in safety net and non-safety net hospitals. Patients admitted to safety net hospitals had a 44% increase in odds of in-hospital mortality (p = 0.004), 9% increase in LOS (p = 0.06) and 51% increase in odds of PLOS (p = 0.041). Each additional hour of registered nurse care per patient day was associated with a 1% decrease in LOS (p = 0.058) and 9% decrease in the odds of prolonged length of stay (PLOS) (p = 0.012). Magnet accreditation moderated the effect of skill mix and was associated with a 33% decrease in odds of in-hospital mortality (p = 0.059), 67% decrease in LOS (p = 0.000), 99% decrease in odds of PLOS (p = 0.001).  Magnet accreditation moderated the effect of registered nurse hours per patient day and was associated with a 53% increase in odds of PLOS (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Hospital safety net status and availability of nurse resources are associated with the quality of care in elderly patients admitted for surgical repair of hip fracture.

description: The main objective of this research is to illuminate the Communist Party USA’s movement in protest against the Vietnam War (1961-1971). Scholarship on anti-Vietnam War activism fails to focus on American Communists who participated alongside more routinely remembered college protesters.   This thesis concentrates on three dimensions of Party activism: Its journalism, youth organizations, and the movement’s circulation to more Americans.    American Communist dissent, the thesis shows, worked within a complex American political climate. The Party’s anti-war activism centered on an Old Left radical tradition separating Communists and non-Communist activists.  Party activists also navigated the dichotomy between embracing Communist ideology and activism, and denying Party membership. By the 1970s, however, CPUSA activists found themselves outside of the anti-war culture. President Nixon's "Vietnamization" of the war diluted the fervor of the anti-war movement that revealed deep divisions between Communists and liberal groups whose alliance proved both volatile and temporary.

Enhancing service usage by improving access
Creators: name: O'Connor, Genevieve Elizabeth
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: One of the most effective ways to improve access, and in turn service usage, is by reducing barriers to access and strengthening enablers to access. Drawing from social exchange theory, relationship marketing theory, service-dominant logic and behavioral model of health service utilization, I examine customer access in the context of health care. To explore this issue, I conduct two studies to examine the likelihood of customer-initiated missed service encounters and the likelihood of customer’s usage of preventive care services.   In my first essay, I explore the following questions: How does a customer’s value of their relationship with a provider influence the likelihood of missed service encounters? How will incurring a service failure by a provider influence missed service encounters? How does the effect of loyalty to a provider influence the effect of service failures on future missed service encounters? Logistic regression results show that a customer’s met service history is critical to the success of customer-provider relationships and can have positive spillover effects to other relationships within the organization. Further, the results indicate that customer-provider relationships are reciprocal in nature. Provider-initiated service failures are found to weaken the value of the relationship between the customer and scheduled provider but can be buffered by a customer’s loyalty to their scheduled provider.   In my second essay, I explore the following questions: How does a customer’s need for service, enabling factors and pre-disposing characteristics influence future preventive service usage? How do different groups of customer’s respond to the effect of enabling factors on future preventive service usage?  Logistic regression results show that preventive service usage is influenced by the degree of need for a service, insurance coverage and type, and demographic variables. Of key interest are the findings that 1) the degree to which insurance coverage and type of coverage matters varies amongst different demographic cohorts, and 2) the type of insurance a customer carries influences the customer’s need for services. This research offers a novel account of the service encounter phenomenon and offers management frameworks to improve service usage. I conclude by offering theoretical and practical implications for marketers and public policy.

description: Timing leaks in timed automata (TA) can occur whenever an attacker is able to deduce a secret by observing some timed behavior. In execution-time opacity, the attacker aims at deducing whether a private location was visited, by observing only the execution time. It can be decided whether a TA is opaque in this setting. In this work, we tackle control, and show that we are able to decide whether a TA can be controlled at runtime to ensure opacity. Our method is constructive, in the sense that we can exhibit such a controller. We also address the case when the attacker cannot have an infinite precision in its observations.

The peregrine falcon in New Jersey report for 2003
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2003

description: Across the state, the peregrine population totaled 19 pairs, remaining stable now for five years. In addition to the two natural nests, thirteen pairs nested on towers and buildings and four on bridges. Of the 13 pairs on towers and buildings, nine nested successfully, producing 26 young for a rate of 1.8 young/active nest. This is above the 1.7 average since 1986 when the population became stable. Five pairs occupied bridges spanning the NJ-PA border and three the NJ-NY border, of which New Jersey monitored two; two bridges entirely in New Jersey were active. Productivity on the bridges was 1.5 for three known-outcome nests in NJ.

description: In 2011 the New Jersey peregrine falcon population remained nearly steady at 24 known pairs, with average nesting success. One nest site was made unavailable in 2011 but another site was reactivated after being displaced last year. Two pairs were likely active in Newark and Kearny (as determined by finding recent fledglings) but their locations were unknown. In general, nest success was a little lower than previous years, but remained well above the level needed to maintain a stable population. Statewide, 14 pairs nested on towers and buildings, six on NJ bridges, and four on cliffs. Of 14 pairs on coastal structures and buildings, 11 nested successfully, producing 24 young for a rate of 1.71 young per active nest on towers and buildings. This is the average (1.78) recorded since 1986 when the population stabilized.

description: For over a decade, complex networks have been applied to mythological texts in order to quantitatively compare them. This has allowed us to identify similarities between texts in different cultures, as well as to quantify the significance of some heroic characters. Analysing a full mythology of a culture requires gathering data from many individual myths which is time consuming and often impractical. In this work, we attempt to bypass this by analysing the network of characters in a dictionary of mythological characters. We show that the top characters identified by different centrality measures are consistent with central figures in the Irish sagas. Although much of Irish mythology has been lost, we demonstrate that these most central characters are highly robust to a large random removal of edges.

description: Youth who return from incarceration often face numerous obstacles including, pre-existing family problems, substance abuse, mental illness, low educational attainment and barriers to employment.  Those who reenter during emerging adulthood, a developmental phase occurring between the ages of 18 and 25, face additional challenges as they attempt to take on the responsibilities of adulthood while adjusting to community and family life and meeting the requirements of their release.  Since emerging adults typically rely on family members for a significant amount of support, as do returning offenders, the family context of reentry from incarceration during young adulthood must be examined.  Prior research has established a relationship between family contextual factors and recidivism, yet studies have also shown that families support returning offenders in ways that are critical to their reintegration, creating a paradox that is not fully understood. Further research is needed into the specific ways that families affect the reentry process for young adults.    A qualitative study was conducted to explore the family context of reentry during young adulthood.  In-depth interviews were conducted with formerly incarcerated individuals who were released between the ages of 18 and 25 and members of their families.  Consistent with prior research, the data presented here reveal that youth who return from incarceration struggle to overcome pre-existing family problems but they also rely on family support in confronting the hurdles of reentry.  An explanation for this paradox is offered through a developmental analysis of how youth attempt to resolve family problems as they enter their twenties and capitalize on support networks.  An increased psychosocial maturity during this phase allows for a reevaluation and realignment of family ties.  As young adults reconstruct their families, they identify and activate the most effective sources of support within their own kin networks.  This study identifies specific developmental processes that occur during young adulthood and the distinct mechanisms that lead to improvements in family context.  Policy implications involve program strategies aimed at strengthening family relationships, increasing family support by redefining traditional definitions of family and widening support networks, and increasing structural opportunities for returning offenders.

description: ABSTRACT:  Climate change is a global threat to human well-being, making the identification of effective ways to communicate with the public about climate change a critical area of social science research. However, results of five original pilot studies (N=3,216) question the robustness of widely-cited climate change messages, potentially because the original findings were false positives or because psychological underpinnings of climate change attitudes have shifted. Further, no prior research has examined the relative effectiveness of these messages. To fill these gaps, we will conduct an experimental tournament on a large, national sample (N=13,000), to assess the effects of the ten most cited climate change messages on belief in climate change, climate change concern, support for mitigation policies, and political behavioral intentions. Our study will identify the most effective messages, as well as messages that are widely-cited but likely ineffective, improving our knowledge of effective climate change messaging.

Plexin-A4 receptor regulates dendrite morphogenesis in response to Class 3 Semaphorin 3A signaling in mouse pyramidal neurons

description: The formation of a complicate nervous system requires precise navigation and elaboration for growth cone and dendrites to connect to their target. During development, guidance molecules and receptors control the majority of the circuitry events, including promotion or inhibition of neurite growth. Semphorin 3A, a secreted Class 3 Semaphorin member, is well known for its chemorepellent function on growth cone mediated by the Neuropilin1/PlexinA4 holoreceptor complex. Recently, it has been shown to have opposite cellular responses in promoting dendrite growth and branching in mouse cortical pyramidal neurons (1, 2). However, the mechanism underlying how Semaphorin 3A/Neuropilin1/Plexin-A4 signaling regulates dendrite elaboration is unclear. Here, I have shown the importance and function of three distinct domains in the cytoplasmic region of the signaling transducing receptor of Semaphorin 3A, Plexin-A4, in regulating cortical neuron dendritic morphology. Both the C1 and H/RBD domains were found to be sufficient to trigger cortical pyramidal neuron dendrite elaboration, while the C2 domain was not necessary for dendrites growth and branching. Using biochemical and molecular methods in combination with in vitro assays, I found and demonstrated that the Rho-GEF, FARP2 associates with PlexinA4 and mediates dendritic elaboration in primary cortical neurons following the ligand, Semaphorin 3A activation of the signaling pathway. In addition, I demonstrated that Plexin-A4 extracellular domains could interact with its co-receptor Neuropilin1, independent of the ligand Semaphorin 3A.  Therefore, the extracellular Semaphorin domain may play a role in preventing Plexin-A4 activation, consistent with previous studies (3, 4).   Previously, another member of the Type A Plexin receptor, Plexin-A3, was shown to play a key role in inhibiting cortical neuron dendritic spine morphogenesis in vivo (2). However, the mechanism of how Plexin-A3 signals to restrain spine formation is unknown. I have generated an array of Plexin-A3 cytoplasmic deletion mutant constructs, analogous to the Plexin-A4 deletion mutants used for this study for future studies in investigating cortical neuron dendritic spine morphology. These molecular tools that I have developed will be useful for researchers to investigate the intracellular signaling mechanisms of Semaphorin signaling in regulating neuron morphology. Taken together, my findings provide new insights to Plexin-A4 signaling, in particular, highlighting distinct intracellular domains and downstream effectors required for promoting dendritic morphology.

Power and status in groups

description: Differences in power and status are the basis for social relations and interactions within workgroups. While a small body of research has investigated the consequences of power and status in groups, there is a general emphasis in the extant literature to consider power and status independently, even though they can be causally related and mutually reinforcing. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation is to explicate the opposing consequences of power and status in groups and also investigate the joint influence of power and status on psychological safety, collective efficacy, and workgroup effectiveness. Distinguishing power and status in groups, and also investigating the joint effects, are important advances to the existing group research, which has often confounded power and status. Additionally, clearly understanding the distinct group processes and outcomes that emerge from each group structure may mitigate any possible harmful effects that may occur in task-focused workgroups.  Chapter 1 provides a brief overview of the central constructs and theory investigated in this dissertation. Chapter 2 provides conceptual and theoretical contexts for the exploration of the central constructs. Chapter 3 describes the hypothesized model. Whereas power differentiation is predicted to lead to higher psychological safety, collective efficacy, and group effectiveness, I predict that status differentiation will lead to lower levels of psychological safety, collective efficacy, and group effectiveness. Furthermore, I predict that power differentiation will have a more positive influence on group emergent states (psychological safety and collective efficacy) and effectiveness when status differentiation is lower within groups.    Chapter 4 describes the research methods and results. Data were collected from two healthcare facilities, pilot study (18 workgroups) and main study (80 workgroups), to test the hypothesized model. As predicted, I found that power differentiation is negatively related to treatment errors. In addition, I found that status differentiation is negatively related to psychological safety and collective efficacy. Chapter 5 identifies implications for researchers and organizations and discusses additional points of interest for future research.

description: While deep-learning downscaling algorithms can generate fine-scale climate projections cost-effectively, it is still unclear how well they will extrapolate to unobserved climates. We assess the extrapolation capabilities of a deterministic Convolutional Neural Network baseline and a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) built with this baseline, trained to predict daily precipitation simulated by a Regional Climate Model (RCM). Both approaches emulate future changes in annual mean precipitation well, even when trained on historical data, though training on a future climate improves performance. For extreme precipitation (99.5th percentile), RCM simulations predict a robust end-of-century increase with future warming (~5.8%/°C on average from five simulations). When trained on a future climate, GANs capture 97% of the warming-driven increase in extreme precipitation compared to 65% in a deterministic baseline. Even GANs trained historically capture 77% of this increase. Overall, GANs offer better generalization for downscaling extremes, which is important in applications relying on historical data.
