DISORGANIZED SPEECH AND METACOGNITION IN SCHIZOPHRENIA: DIFFERENTIAL RELATIONS AND A COMPARISON OF BEHAVIORAL SPEECH MEASURES
Creators: name: Myers, Evan Joseph
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Clinical psychology

description: Disorganized speech is a core feature of schizophrenia. It is a key component of formal thought disorder (FTD). Recent work has tied disorganized speech to deficits in metacognition, or one’s ability to integrate experiences to form complex mental representations. In this study, we aimed to 1) explore the relationship between disorganized speech and metacognition and 2) compare trained rater and emerging automated analysis methods. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Indiana Psychiatric Illness Interviews (IPII) were conducted; the IPII was coded for disorganized speech using the Communication Disturbances Index (CDI) and Coh-Metrix multidimensional indices. Metacognition was rated using the Metacognition Assessment Scale. We compared FTD (n = 16; PANSS conceptual disorganization ≥ 3) and non-FTD (n = 29; PANSS conceptual disorganization < 3) groups on metacognition and examined CDI and Coh-Metrix’s ability to account for variance in metacognition. We hypothesized that the FTD group would have lower metacognition and that both CDI and Coh-Metrix would account for significant variance in metacognition. Analyses indicated metacognition did not differ between groups and neither measure accounted for significant variance in metacognition. Results also showed that the CDI was able to distinguish the groups. Overall, results suggest little relationship between FTD and metacognition. Findings also indicate that trained rater measures of disorganized speech may have clinical utility in classifying FTD. Future research examining these constructs should address important limitations of this study by ensuring adequate levels of FTD in the study sample and by assessing neurocognition.

description: The research includes machine Learning and Deep Learning Approaches to Print Defect Detection, Face Set Recognition and Face Alignment, and Visual-Enhancement in Space and Time. This thesis consists of six parts which are related to 6 projects:
In Chapter 1, the first project focuses on detection of local printing defects including gray spots and solid spots. We propose a coarse-to-fine method to detect local defects in a block-wise manner and aggregate the blockwise attributes to generate the feature vector of the whole test page for a further ranking task. In the detection part, we first select candidate regions by thresholding a single feature. Then more detailed features of candidate blocks are calculated and sent to a decision tree that is previously trained on our training dataset. The final result is given by the decision tree model to control the false alarm rate while maintaining the required miss rate.
Chapter 2 introduces face set recognition and Chapter 3 is about face alignment. In order to reduce the computational complexity of comparing face sets, we propose a deep neural network that can compute and aggregate the face feature vectors with different weights. As for face alignment, our goal is to solve the jittering of landmark locations when applied on video. We propose metrics and corresponding methods around this goal.
In recent years, mobile photography has become increasingly prevalent in our lives with social media due to its high portability and convenience. However, many challenges still exist in distributing high-quality mobile images and videos under the limit of data capacity, hardware storage, and network bandwidth. Therefore, we have been exploring enhancement techniques to improve the image and video qualities, considering both effectiveness and efficiency for a wide variety of applications, including WhatsApp, Portal, TikTok, even the printing industry. Chapter 4 introduces single image super-resolution to handle real-world images with various degradations, and its influence on several downstream high-level computer vision tasks. Next, Chapter 5 studies on headshot image restoration with multiple references, which is an application of visual enhancement under more specific scenarios. Finally, as a step towards the temporal domain enhancement, the Zooming SlowMo framework for fast and accurate space-time video super-resolution will be introduced in Chapter 6.

QUANTITATION OF ANTI-INFECTIOUS DISEASE MOLECULES UTILIZING PAPER SPRAY MASS SPECTROMETRY

description: Suboptimal dosing of anti-microbial agents increases the likelihood of therapeutic failure and resistance. Dosing optimization, while an attractive approach to combat these issues, is difficult to implement due to the different pharmacokinetics of each individual. These limitations highlight the inadequacies of a “standardized” dosing strategy. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) provides a tailored treatment for individuals while avoiding adverse side effects from compounds with a narrow therapeutic window where elevated concentrations of a drug cause organ toxicity. This strategy involves accurately measuring the concentration of the analyte and interpreting the results based on pharmacokinetic parameters. Clinicians then draw conclusions regarding dose adjustment for their patient. However, TDM is expensive and difficult to perform because measurements occur in biofluids. Rapid and robust methods are necessary to quantify antimicrobial agents at the institutional level to guide patient care toward improved outcomes in serious infection. Paper spray ionization (PS), an emerging ambient ionization technique for clinical settings, demonstrations a wide versatility both in analyte variety and applications. This technique offers a rapid, accurate method to analyze these compounds with low rates of false positives even when multiplexing.
The work herein explains the method development of assays for TDM of various antimicrobial agents. Chapters two and three describe ways to improve the quantitative capability of paper spray through substrate pre-treatment, modification, and manipulation of key factors. Chapter four describes real-world applications for paper spray utility in clinical settings with the cross-validation of antifungal agents against a “gold standard” method. The final chapter, while not clinical based, describes the method development process for a LC-MS/MS assay to detect urobilinoids in fly guts.

Leg Heat Therapy to Improve Walking Tolerance and Vascular Function in Patients with Symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease
Creators: name: Monroe, Jacob
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2021
Subjects: Cardiology (incl. cardiovascular diseases)
Exercise physiology

description: Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is an increasingly prevalent manifestation of atherosclerosis that substantially limits mobility and increases mortality. Few options currently exists for practical conservative treatment of individuals with PAD. We have previously demonstrated that lower limb heat therapy (HT) can improve leg blood flow and reduce systolic blood pressure in patient with lower extremity PAD. Using three unique clinical trials, we sought to test the hypothesis that repeated exposure to HT would improve walking tolerance and vascular function in patients with lower extremity PAD. In these trials, we have sought to examine the clinical efficacy of HT, the physiological mechanisms which may underpin changes in walking endurance in this population, and also the practicality of employing HT in a home-based setting. The primary finding from these trials was that daily application of leg HT improved walking endurance in patients with lower-extremity PAD. Furthermore, the treatment adherence rate was excellent (<96%) and was not associated with severe adverse events. The changes in walking tolerance were consistently not associated with positive changes in vascular function, suggesting an alternative mechanism should be examined in future studies.

description: This presentation, given at the AfAS-2025 conference, outlines the vision and objectives of GGOS-Africa, an initiative to strengthen geodetic infrastructure across Africa to enhance scientific collaboration and support key disciplines such as astronomy, geophysics, and Earth observation. The speakers, Roelf Botha (SARAO) and Jack Radcliffe (University of Manchester) highlight the critical role of geodesy in both fundamental research and applied sciences, emphasizing its connection to space geodesy, VLBI, and sustainable development.

The talk explores:

The Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) and its evolution, including the establishment of regional affiliates.

There is a need for more geodetic core sites in Africa, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, to improve reference frames and Earth monitoring capabilities.

The role of VLBI, GNSS, and SLR in global geodesy and their applications in astronomy, including precise celestial reference frame determination and space navigation.

The GGOS-Africa project, supported by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and STFC, aims to assess geodetic infrastructure, develop strategic plans, train early-career researchers, and raise awareness among policymakers.

The complementary nature of geodesy and astronomy highlights how techniques like VLBI contribute to both extreme astrophysics (e.g., Event Horizon Telescope observations) and Earth orientation parameter measurements.

The presentation concludes with a call for participation, inviting collaboration from the scientific community to establish GGOS-Africa as a key hub for geodetic research and infrastructure development across the continent.
FACTORS INFLUENCING LGB STEM MAJORS’ UNDERREPRESENTATION IN STEM FIELDS

description: While literature on sexual minority issues is limited, there is evidence supporting poor retention rate among lesbian, gay, and bisexual students (LGB) studying science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). STEM fields often have heterosexist environments that present unique barriers to LGB individuals, though, more must be done to understand factors that deter sexual minorities from entering and remaining in the field. I aim to contribute to the scarce LGB scholarship by examining the STEM climate and exploring factors related to persistence. This dissertation is composed of two independent articles that each investigate the issue of underrepresentation of LGB individuals in STEM fields. The first article analyzes existing literature and calls on counseling psychologists to address the problem through using queer theory. I identify various factors that make sexual minorities a difficult population to research, note the additional challenges heterosexism creates for LGB individuals, and recommend counseling psychologists use queer theory to research the systems within STEM. I conclude with recommendations for clinicians and universities. The second article includes an empirical study examining factors related to poor persistence in STEM among LGB undergraduates. Using a mediation model, I hypothesized burnout and the imposter phenomenon would mediate the relationships between stereotype threat and STEM identity, as well as the relationship between STEM identity and persistence. Results indicated stereotype threat was a significant positive predictor of burnout and imposter phenomenon, while STEM identity was a significant predictor of persistence. Results also suggested the effect of stereotype threat on STEM identity is explained better using burnout and imposter phenomenon.

description: It is now widely accepted that cognitive control depends on the integrated operation of large-scale distributed brain networks. Recent methodological advances allow both structural and functional connectivity (FC) within these networks to be studied non- invasively in vivo. These approaches hold the promise of dramatically extending our understanding of the impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on cognitive control, which has the potential to help determine strategic targets for the rehabilitation of individuals with TBI.

In the current thesis, structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging is combined to test the general hypothesis that cognitive deficits after TBI arise from functional disconnection within brain networks that mediate cognitive functions. Of particular interest are the interactions between two brain networks known as the Salience Network (SN) and the Default Mode Network (DMN). These networks are thought to be important for cognitive control however, how these networks interact during cognitive control is limited.

This thesis largely investigates the effect of TBI on network interactions that accompany changing motor control. Functional MRI of the Stop Signal Task (SST) is initially used to study response inhibition. In healthy subjects, FC between the right anterior insula (rAI), a key node of the SN, and the DMN transiently increased during stopping. This change in FC was not seen in a group of TBI patients with impaired cognitive control. Furthermore, the amount of damage to the underlying white matter tract negatively correlated with the strength of FC between the networks.

These findings are confirmed in a second group of TBI patients. In the second group, switching rather than inhibiting a motor response: (1) was accompanied by a similar increase in network FC in healthy controls; (2) was not seen in TBI patients; and (3) tract damage after TBI again correlated with FC breakdown. I also replicate this pattern of structure-function in a group of elderly participants who demonstrate similar cognitive control impairments as the TBI group.

The findings show that FC between the rAI and DMN increases with cognitive control, and that the ability to efficiently regulate the FC between the rAI and DMN can be predicted by the structural integrity within a remote brain network previously proposed to be involved in switching between internally and externally directed attention. This work provides evidence for a model of cognitive control where the SN is involved in the attentional capture of salient external stimuli and signals the DMN to reduce its activity when attention is externally focused. It also identifies DMN dysfunction as underlying various cognitive deficits after TBI, and confirms the relevance of white matter damage in the development of brain dysfunctions after TBI.
THE QUALITY AND IMPACT OF PUBLIC OPINION IN A VULNERABLE DEMOCRACY: THE TAIWANESE CASE

description: This dissertation focuses on the intersection of foreign policy, public opinion, and domestic politics in Taiwan, a relatively young democracy under persistent threat. It examines the influence of a variety of internal political forces on Taiwanese foreign policy and employs various methodologies. The dissertation contributes to the scant literature of weak state political behavior in political science. It sheds light on the nuances missing in research that focuses on major powers. Substantively, it integrates a variety of subfields including international relations, public opinion, public support for war, and Taiwan studies.
Drawing from original surveys of activists and elites, the first study examines how public opinion on the Sunflower Movement, a nationwide movement led mostly by students, shaped the decisions of political leaders who were negotiating a major trade pact with China. The central finding from this case is that in some circumstances, public opinion could outweigh the importance of political factors such as elite rivalry in influencing the decision-making of political elites. The second study analyzes mass opinions regarding a hypothetical armed conflict with China. I find that generations, neglected in existing war support literature, play an essential role in shaping popular support for this conflict. Finally, I develop a novel theory of diversionary foreign policy pursued by asymmetrically weak states. Here, I show how Taiwanese leaders use aggressive foreign policy toward China to divert from domestic problems and garner public support. The major theoretical claims are that weak state leaders, for various reasons, often would use different types of diversionary tactics compared to their counterparts in major powers.

description: Quantum entanglement became essential in understanding the non-locality of quantum mechanics. In optics, this non-locality can be demonstrated on impressively large length scales, as photons travel with the speed of light and interact only weakly with their environment. Spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in nonlinear crystals provides an efficient source for entangled photon pairs, so-called biphotons. However, SPDC can also be implemented in nonlinear arrays of evanescently coupled waveguides which allows the generation and the investigation of correlated quantum walks of such biphotons in an integrated device. Here, we analytically and experimentally demonstrate that the biphoton degrees of freedom are entailed in an additional dimension, therefore the SPDC and the subsequent quantum random walk in one-dimensional arrays can be simulated through classical optical beam propagation in a two-dimensional photonic lattice. Thereby, the output intensity images directly represent the biphoton correlations and exhibit a clear violation of a Bell-like inequality.

DISTRIBUTED OPTIMIZATION FOR MACHINE LEARNING: GUARANTEES AND TRADEOFFS
Creators: name: Tian, Ye
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Operations research

description: In the era of big data, the sheer volume and widespread spatial distribution of information has been promoting extensive research on distributed optimization over networks. Each computing unit has access only to a relatively small portion of the entire data and can only communicate with a relatively small number of neighbors. The goal of the system is to reach consensus on the optimal parametric model with respect to the entire data among all computing units. Existing work has provided various decentralized optimization algorithms for the purpose. However, some important questions remain unclear: (I) what is the intrinsic connection among different existing algorithms? (II) what is the min-max lower complexity bound for decentralized algorithms? Can one design an optimal decentralized algorithm in the sense that it achieves the lower complexity bound? and (III) in the presence of asynchrony and imperfect communications, can one design linearly convergent decentralized algorithms?
 This thesis aims at addressing the above questions. (I) Abstracting from ad-hoc, specific solution methods, we propose a unified distributed algorithmic framework and analysis for a general class of optimization problems over networks. Our method encapsulates several existing first-order distributed algorithms. Distinguishing features of our scheme are: (a) When each of the agent’s functions is strongly convex, the algorithm converges at a linear rate, whose dependence on the agents’ functions and network topology is decoupled; (b) When the objective function is convex, but not strongly convex, similar decoupling as in (a) is established for the coefficient of the proved sublinear rate. This also reveals the role of function heterogeneity on the convergence rate; (c) The algorithm can adjust the ratio between the number of communications and computations to achieve a rate (in terms of computations) independent on the network connectivity; and (d) A by-product of our analysis is a tuning recommendation for several existing (non-accelerated) distributed algorithms, yielding provably faster (worst-case) convergence rate for the class of problems under consideration. (II) Referring to lower complexity bounds, the proposed novel family of algorithms, when equipped with acceleration, are proved to be optimal, that is, they achieve convergence rate lower bounds. (III) Finally, to make the proposed algorithms practical, we break the synchronism in the agents’ updates: agents wake up and update without any coordination, using information only from immediate neighbors with unknown, arbitrary but bounded delays. Quite remarkably, even in the presence of asynchrony, the proposed algorithmic framework is proved to converge at a linear rate (resp. sublinear rate) when applied to strongly convex (resp. non strongly convex) optimization problems.

description: The Ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) has achieved great successes in data assimilation in atmospheric and oceanic sciences, but its failure in convergence to the right filtering distribution precludes its use for uncertainty quantification. Other existing methods, such as particle filter or sequential importance sampler, do not scale well to the dimension of the system and the sample size of the datasets. In this dissertation, we address these difficulties in a coherent way.
 In the first part of the dissertation, we reformulate the EnKF under the framework of Langevin dynamics, which leads to a new particle filtering algorithm, the so-called Langevinized EnKF (LEnKF). The LEnKF algorithm inherits the forecast-analysis procedure from the EnKF and the use of mini-batch data from the stochastic gradient Langevin-type algorithms, which make it scalable with respect to both the dimension and sample size. We prove that the LEnKF converges to the right filtering distribution in Wasserstein distance under the big data scenario that the dynamic system consists of a large number of stages and has a large number of samples observed at each stage, and thus it can be used for uncertainty quantification. We reformulate the Bayesian inverse problem as a dynamic state estimation problem based on the techniques of subsampling and Langevin diffusion process. We illustrate the performance of the LEnKF using a variety of examples, including the Lorenz-96 model, high-dimensional variable selection, Bayesian deep learning, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network learning with dynamic data.
 In the second part of the dissertation, we focus on two extensions of the LEnKF algorithm. Like the EnKF, the LEnKF algorithm was developed for Gaussian dynamic systems containing no unknown parameters. We propose the so-called stochastic approximation- LEnKF (SA-LEnKF) for simultaneously estimating the states and parameters of dynamic systems, where the parameters are estimated on the fly based on the state variables simulated by the LEnKF under the framework of stochastic approximation. Under mild conditions, we prove the consistency of resulting parameter estimator and the ergodicity of the SA-LEnKF. For non-Gaussian dynamic systems, we extend the LEnKF algorithm (Extended LEnKF) by introducing a latent Gaussian measurement variable to dynamic systems. Those two extensions inherit the scalability of the LEnKF algorithm with respect to the dimension and sample size. The numerical results indicate that they outperform other existing methods in both states/parameters estimation and uncertainty quantification.

description: Personality traits are important factors of psychotherapy for many reasons, as they relate to a variety of clinical outcomes, can complicate treatment, and can also be targets of treatment interventions. Because of its clinical prevalence and impact, it is imperative that therapists are able to effectively assess and treat personality pathology. Previous research has indicated that both client and therapist ratings of personality can provide meaningful information, and this varies across different sessions, but no study to date has examined both client and therapist ratings across the entire therapeutic intervention. There is also limited information on the agreement of client and therapist ratings of personality, as the majority of studies only examine the outset, the end, or a random time point of treatment. Examining only one point in time – or just the beginning and end – misses valuable information regarding possible changes in personality occurring throughout treatment. Using a naturalistic dataset of 128 client-therapist dyads (3,440 observations), the present study examined the longitudinal trajectory of client and therapist ratings of personality change throughout intervention while also accounting for state-level distress. Additionally, the agreement between clients and therapists were examined throughout treatment for any potential patterns of change using rank-order, mean-level, and absolute agreement. Significant patterns of trait change and change in absolute agreement across treatment were assessed using multilevel modeling. Last but not least, the agreement among clients and therapists were examined as potential predictors of therapeutic outcomes, such as engagement and improvement. The results provided evidence for significant decreases in neuroticism that were reported by the client but not therapist that suggest clients might be report decreases in state-level distress rather than true trait change. There were meaningful fluctuations in agreement across treatment, particularly for openness to experience and neuroticism, but the overall agreement – or lack thereof – did not significantly predict client engagement or improvement. Results highlight several clinical implications that are discussed.

Task-Based Activation and Hippocampal Functional Connectivity Supporting Verbal Memory in Midlife Women

description: Women show declines in verbal memory across the menopause transition that often persist into the postmenopause; however, the underlying neural circuitry that supports performance on validated, sensitive tests of verbal memory in midlife postmenopausal women remains uncharacterized. The goal of this thesis was to identify patterns of brain activation and hippocampal functional connectivity associated with successful verbal memory abilities in midlife women. A sample of cognitively normal midlife postmenopausal women (n = 171, mean age = 59.3 years, mean education = 15.7 years, 87.7% white) from the MsBrain I study at the University of Pittsburgh completed the California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) and a functional magnetic resonance imaging task of verbal encoding and recognition. Associations between verbal memory measures (CVLT measures [learning, short- and long-delay recall, semantic clustering] and in-scanner recognition accuracy) and eigenvariates of regional brain activation and hippocampal functional connectivity during verbal encoding were tested via linear regression. Models controlled for age, education, and race. During verbal encoding, greater activation of bilateral prefrontal and medial temporal regions, as well as precuneus, cuneus, caudate, and cerebellar regions, was associated with better performance on all CVLT measures. Functional connectivity between bilateral hippocampi and prefrontal regions during verbal encoding also associated with better CVLT performance. In-scanner recognition accuracy was more strongly positively associated with activation of parietal and occipital regions, and with right hippocampal functional connectivity to parietal and temporal areas. These findings demonstrate the typical patterns of brain activation and hippocampal functional connectivity supporting verbal memory performance in midlife women. Our understanding of the effects of hormonal changes and menopausal symptoms (e.g., vasomotor symptoms, sleep and mood disturbances) on cognition relies upon this foundational knowledge. Furthermore, efforts to address menopause-related cognitive difficulties should target these key regions in order to sustain women’s memory abilities at midlife.
