Socialization in the margins : second language writers and feedback practices in university content courses
Creators: name: Seror, Jeremie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Recent years have seen a growing interest in the relationship between second language (L2) writing development and the ways we can help growing populations of L2 writers successfully integrate within academic communities. Much of this interest stems from increasingly diverse local populations and the continued internationalization of higher education. This dissertation explored the implications for curriculum resulting from this growing presence of L2 writers in academic content areas. To achieve this goal, this research reports on an eight-month longitudinal ethnographic case study of five international Japanese undergraduate students at a large Canadian university. Focusing on the central role of writing in university courses as the dominant mode of knowledge construction and dissemination, as well as student assessment, the study documents focal students’ and focal instructors’ perspectives of the various factors affecting their writing in ‘regular’ content courses, with particular attention paid to the impact of feedback practices and their role in both the short-term and long-term development of students’ skills and their investments in different types of writing. Drawing on a language socialization framework, data analysis focused on expectations and practices with respect to feedback, and explored the impact of these practices on conveying both explicit and implicit norms linked to students’ access to, and successful participation in, their chosen content areas. Drawing on both students’ and instructors’ perspectives of this literacy event and discourse analysis of relevant documents, findings offer unique insights into the role of feedback practices not only for students’ writing development but also in indexing complex negotiations of positions, identities, and institutional forces. The dissertation concludes by highlighting the need to play closer attention to the multidimensional functions of feedback practices in order to understand their power to shape the socialization trajectories of L2 writers and universities’ responses to multilingual students who no longer fit traditional profiles.

description: The scarcity of labelled data makes training Deep Neural Network (DNN) models in bioacoustic applications challenging. In typical bioacoustics applications, manually labelling the required amount of data can be prohibitively expensive. To effectively identify both new and current classes, DNN models must continue to learn new features from a modest amount of fresh data. Active Learning (AL) is an approach that can help with this learning while requiring little labelling effort. Nevertheless, the use of fixed feature extraction approaches limits feature quality, resulting in underutilization of the benefits of AL. We describe an AL framework that addresses this issue by incorporating feature extraction into the AL loop and refining the feature extractor after each round of manual annotation. In addition, we use raw audio processing rather than spectrograms, which is a novel approach. Experiments reveal that the proposed AL framework requires 14.3%, 66.7%, and 47.4% less labelling effort on benchmark audio datasets ESC-50, UrbanSound8k, and InsectWingBeat, respectively, for a large DNN model and similar savings on a microcontroller-based counterpart. Furthermore, we showcase the practical relevance of our study by incorporating data from conservation biology projects. All codes are publicly available on GitHub.

description: RU cells co-cultured with diluted (10:1) RR cells or parental SupM2 cells did not show significantly increased SRR2 luciferase activity or upregulated MYC expression. SupM2-RU cells (50,000 cells in total seeded in the upper chamber) and various ratios (RU/RR = 1:1, 2:1, 5:1, 10:1) of SupM2-RR cells (seeded in the lower chamber) were co-cultured in 6-well transwell plate for 72 h. SupM2-RU cells co-cultured with the same number of SupM2-RU cells or parental SupM2 cells were included in this experiment. MYC protein expression was also assessed in this experiment. The results suggested that RU cells co-cultured with the same number of RR cells showed significantly increased SRR2 luciferase activity and a robust increased MYC expression, as compared to negative control. In contrast, RU cells co-cultured with diluted RR cells (e.g., 10:1, containing 5000 of RR cells and 45,000 of RU cells) or parental SupM2 cells did not exhibit significantly increased SRR2 luciferase activity and only showed slight increase of MYC protein expression, as compared to negative control.

Remarks
Mycotretus brasilianus resembles M. magus (Fig. 32D) in the colour pattern of the pronotum, the serrate elytral bands and in having a hexagonal black spot on the head, but M. magus is slightly more elongated than M. brasilianus. It is possible these species are closely related or even conspecific. However, we studied only females and, therefore, we prefer not to synonymize them at this moment. The body coloration of M. brasilianus also resembles that of M. chilensis (Fig. 4F), but there is no cephalic spot or mark in the latter.

description: Understanding the magnetic and ferroelectric ordering of magnetoelectric multiferroic materials at the nanoscale necessitates a versatile imaging method with high spatial resolution. Here, soft X-ray ptychography is employed to simultaneously image the ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic domains in an 80 nm thin freestanding film of the room-temperature multiferroic BiFeO$_3$ (BFO). The antiferromagnetic spin cycloid of period 64 nm is resolved by reconstructing the corresponding resonant elastic X-ray scattering in real space and visualized together with mosaic-like ferroelectric domains in a linear dichroic contrast image at the Fe L$_3$ edge. The measurements reveal a near perfect coupling between the antiferromagnetic and ferroelectric ordering by which the propagation direction of the spin cycloid is locked orthogonally to the ferroelectric polarization. In addition, the study evinces both a preference for in-plane propagation of the spin cycloid and changes of the ferroelectric polarization by 71° between multiferroic domains in the epitaxial strain-free, freestanding BFO film. The results provide a direct visualization of the strong magnetoelectric coupling in BFO and of its fine multiferroic domain structure, emphasizing the potential of ptychographic imaging for the study of multiferroics and non-collinear magnetic materials with soft X-rays.

description: In the past few years, Machine Learning (ML) models such as GPT-4, utilized by the prominent chatbot ChatGPT, have faced data breaches, raising concerns about data privacy and awareness about the "right to be forgotten." Consequently, the concept of “Machine Unlearning” (MU) - the intentional and efficient removal of specific data from already trained ML models - has received increasing attention. This thesis provides a comprehensive review of the current state of MU, summarizing existing literature introducing its fundamental principles while also discussing remaining challenges. Specifically, the scarcity of research for MU in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and scalability problems of many MU frameworks are a special focus of this work. These problems become apparent for models trained on large datasets like Transformer-based Pre-Trained Language Models that rapidly grew in size over the past few years, demanding more efficient and scalable solutions. To address this, this work proposes adaptations to two newer MU techniques, KGA and SCRUB, with the aim of improving their efficiency and scalability when handling large amounts of data. The validation of the adapted KGA and SCRUB techniques was conducted using the MaskLM task, focusing on reducing the influence of a specific token, "Berlin", without significantly impacting the original model’s performance. The results show that while the adapted KGA successfully reduces the token’s influence, it takes over a day to unlearn, which is impractically slow. The adapted SCRUB, with a similar setup, is five times faster, but still insufficient for practical use. Additionally, it suffers from significant performance deterioration, making it unsuitable for this use case. This work serves as a foundation for future research aimed at further reducing the unlearning time on large datasets while preventing performance deterioration.

description: Making moral judgments is an essential step toward developing ethical AI systems. Prevalent approaches are mostly implemented in a bottom-up manner, which uses a large set of annotated data to train models based on crowd-sourced opinions about morality. These approaches have been criticized for overgeneralizing the moral stances of a limited group of annotators and lacking explainability. This work proposes a flexible top-down framework to steer (Large) Language Models (LMs) to perform moral reasoning with well-established moral theories from interdisciplinary research. The theory-guided top-down framework can incorporate various moral theories. Our experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework on datasets derived from moral theories. Furthermore, we show the alignment between different moral theories and existing morality datasets. Our analysis exhibits the potential and flaws in existing resources (models and datasets) in developing explainable moral judgment-making systems.

description: Accessing mid-infrared radiation is of great importance for a range of applications, including thermal imaging, sensing, and radiative cooling. Here, we study light interaction with hexagonal boron nitride nanocavities and reveal strong and tunable resonances across its hyperbolic transition. In addition to conventional phonon-polariton excitations, we demonstrate that the high refractive index of hexagonal boron nitride outside the Reststrahlen band allows enhanced light-matter interactions in deep subwavelength (<λ/15) nanostructures across a broad 7-8 μm range. Near-unity absorption and high quality (Q>80) resonance interaction in the vicinity of the transverse optical phonon is observed. Our study provides new avenues to design highly efficient and ultracompact structures for controlling mid-infrared radiation and accessing strong light-matter interaction.

description: It is commonly believed that breast cancer dragon boating benefits survivors in a range of psychosocial areas, but there have been few empirical studies to investigate such relationships. An interpretive description design and a critical health promotion approach were used to explore the psychosocial experiences of women who breast cancer dragon boat. In-depth interviews with six participants were analyzed. Themes that arose from the data are: (1) moving past isolation — networks of like-minded support, (2) taking control,(3) journey into adventure, (4) affirmative outlook, (5) confronting painful experience, (6) rebuilding identity, (7) and spiritual engagement. The findings illustrate that dragon boating provides breast cancer survivors with a significant venue for change and the opportunity to move beyond traumatic elements of cancer.

description: Spin squeezing can increase the sensitivity of interferometric measurements of small signals in large spin ensembles beyond the standard quantum limit. In many practical settings, the ideal metrological gain is limited by imperfect readout of the sensor. To overcome this issue, protocols based on time reversal of unitary one-axis-twist (OAT) spin-squeezing dynamics have been proposed. Such protocols mitigate readout noise and, when implemented using cavity feedback, have been argued to also be robust against dissipation as long as the collective cooperativity of the system is sufficiently large [Davis et al., PRL 116, 053601 (2016)]. Here, we perform a careful systematic study of dissipative effects on three different implementations of a OAT twist-untwist sensing scheme (based on symmetric as well as asymmetric cavity feedback and on a Tavis-Cummings interaction). Our full treatment shows that the three approaches have markedly different properties and resilience when subject to dissipation. Moreover, the metrological gain for an implementation using symmetric cavity feedback is more sensitive to undesired dissipation than was previously appreciated.

description: Arrays of artificial spin ices exhibit reconfigurable ferromagnetic resonance frequencies that can be leveraged and designed for potential applications.However, analytical and numerical studies of the frequency response of artificial spin ices have remained somewhat limited due to the need of take into account nonlocal dipole fields in theoretical calculations or by long computation times in micromagnetic simulations. Here, we introduce Gaenice, a framework to compute magnon dispersion relations of arbitrary artificial spin ice configurations. Gaenice makes use of a tight-binding approach to compute the magnon bands. It also provides the user complete control of the interaction terms included, e.g., external field, anisotropy, exchange, and dipole, making it useful also to compute ferromagnetic resonances for a variety of structures, such as multilayers and ensembles of weakly or non-interacting nanoparticles. Because it relies on a semi-analytical model, Gaenice is computationally inexpensive and efficient, making it an attractive tool for the exploration of large parameter spaces.

description: Human Breast Cancer RT 2 Profiler™ PCR array analysis of gene expression patterns in anti-CA1 siRNA-treated MCF-7 cells. (a) The expression patterns of 84 different genes related to breast cancer tumourigenesis were measured. Fold-change values greater than one indicated a positive finding or up-regulation. Fold-change values less than one indicated a negative finding or down-regulation. Fold-change values greater than 2 are indicated in red; fold-change values less than 0.5 are indicated in blue. (b) A table indicates expression levels of the 84 different genes. Comments with “A” indicate that the average threshold cycle of the gene expression is relatively high (>30) in either the control or the test sample and is reasonably low in the other sample (< 30). These data indicate that the gene expression is relatively low in one sample and reasonably detected in the other sample, suggesting that the actual fold-change value is at least as large as the calculated and reported fold-change results. This fold-change result might also have greater variations if the p value > 0.05. Comments with “B” indicate that the average threshold cycle of the gene expression is relatively high (> 30), indicating that its relative expression level is low in both control and test samples, and the p value for the fold-change is either unavailable or relatively high (p > 0.05). This fold-change result might also have greater variations. Comment with “C” indicates that the average threshold cycle of the gene expression is either not determined or greater than the defined cut-off value (default 35) in both samples, indicating that its expression was undetected, thus rendering this fold-change result erroneous and un-interpretable.
Microglial-mediated inflammatory responses and perturbed vasculature in an animal model of inflamed Alzheimer's disease brain
Creators: name: Ryu, Jae Kyu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Chronic inflammation in response to Aß peptide deposits is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The inflammatory environment includes populations of reactive and proliferating microglia and astrocytes and perturbed vasculature. However, the association between activated glial cells and cerebrovascular dysfunction remain largely unknown. This study has used Aß1-42 intrahippocampal injection as an animal model of inflamed AD brain to characterize mechanisms of glial-vasculature responses as a basis for chronic inflammation. Preliminary findings suggested Aß1-42-injected brain demonstrated vascular remodeling including evidence for formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). This result led to study of the effects of the anti-angiogenic/anti-inflammatory compound, thalidomide on activated glial cells and perturbations in the vasculature in an Aß1-42 peptide-injected rat model. First, Aß1-42 injection was found to cause perturbations in vasculature including new blood vessel formation and increased BBB leakiness. Second, thalidomide decreased the vascular perturbations and the glial reactivity and conferred neuroprotection. Overall, these results suggest that altered cerebral vasculature is integral to the overall inflammatory response induced by peptide. Experiments then examined the level of parenchymal plasma proteins in brain tissue from AD and nondemented (ND) individuals. AD, but not ND, brain tissue demonstrated high levels of fibrinogen immunoreactivity (ir). Aß1_42 injection into the rat hippocampus increased the level of parenchymal fibrinogen, which was reduced by treatment with the defibrinogenating agent, ancrod. In addition, ancrod also attenuated microglial activation and prevented neuronal injury. Overall, these results demonstrate that extravasation of blood protein and a leaky BBB are important in promoting and amplifying inflammatory responses and causing neuronal damage in inflamed AD brain. Microglial chemotactic responses to VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) receptor Flt-1 were next studied. Treatment with a monoclonal antibody to Flt-1 (anti-Flt-1 Ab) in the peptide-injected hippocampus diminished microglial reactivity and provided neuroprotection. Secondly, anti-Flt-1 Ab inhibited the AI3142-induced migration of human microglia. These results suggest critical functional roles for Flt-1 in mediating microglial chemotaxis and inflammatory responses in AD brain. The overall conclusion from my work is that AP deposits induce microglial reactivity which subsequently causes vascular remodeling resulting in an amplified inflammatory microenvironment which is damaging to bystander neurons.

description: The recent advancements in deep convolutional neural networks have shown significant promise in the domain of road scene parsing. Nevertheless, the existing works focus primarily on freespace detection, with little attention given to hazardous road defects that could compromise both driving safety and comfort. In this paper, we introduce RoadFormer, a novel Transformer-based data-fusion network developed for road scene parsing. RoadFormer utilizes a duplex encoder architecture to extract heterogeneous features from both RGB images and surface normal information. The encoded features are subsequently fed into a novel heterogeneous feature synergy block for effective feature fusion and recalibration. The pixel decoder then learns multi-scale long-range dependencies from the fused and recalibrated heterogeneous features, which are subsequently processed by a Transformer decoder to produce the final semantic prediction. Additionally, we release SYN-UDTIRI, the first large-scale road scene parsing dataset that contains over 10,407 RGB images, dense depth images, and the corresponding pixel-level annotations for both freespace and road defects of different shapes and sizes. Extensive experimental evaluations conducted on our SYN-UDTIRI dataset, as well as on three public datasets, including KITTI road, CityScapes, and ORFD, demonstrate that RoadFormer outperforms all other state-of-the-art networks for road scene parsing. Specifically, RoadFormer ranks first on the KITTI road benchmark. Our source code, created dataset, and demo video are publicly available at mias.group/RoadFormer.
