Saudi Arabian Women in Medical Education: A Mixed Method Exploration of Emergent Digital Leadership
Creators: name: Alwazzan, Lulu
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2019
Subjects: Leadership
Women

description: Background: Saudi Arabian women’s leadership in medical education is evolving. As in Western contexts, the number of women in formal leadership positions in Saudi medical education is increasing. However, given the unique cultural context, Saudi women health professionals may have less influence in their organizations than their counterparts in the West. Novel digital approaches may offer women a form of leadership by which their influence might be increased. Using the Mededlam.com “LAM” digital initiative, an online digital community dedicated to helping medical professionals in their leadership, teaching, and research roles by disseminating digital content that tackle different topics in medical education, this study explores the emergence of women’s leadership through their participation in an online professional community. Objectives: 1) Establish a common understanding of leadership in a digital context amongst women who are members of the LAM community. 2) Investigate why they have turned to the LAM digital initiative to exercise influence in their profession; and, 3) Explore women’s opinions regarding their online interactions on LAM, including how those opinions have influenced their leadership identities and professional influence/development. Methods: To explore the emergence of women’s leadership in a digital context, a sequential explanatory mixed method approach was adopted. In phase one, a questionnaire was developed based on literature review findings. The questionnaire was disseminated through the LAM website and affiliated social media pages. Seventy-nine women took part in the quantitative phase and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Women who expressed willingness to participate in phase two were invited through email to take part. In phase two, 15 semi-structured interviews were conducted. Qualitative data were analysed using framework analysis. Results: In the first phase, respondents agreed or strongly agreed with definitions provided for leadership in a digital context. Respondents were reluctant to define their use of digital tools as a bid for influence in medical education. In the second phase, qualitative data revealed that women perceived digital tools as novel method of influence for women. However, they identified several issues that deter them from utilizing such tools, including fear of appearing unprofessional and a lack of knowledge on how to influence people online. Conclusion: The potential of digital media as a tool to exercise influence and leadership for women in their profession is promising. For Saudi Arabian women health professionals in medical education, media such as LAM can provide a complementary forum to their real-world leadership and can extend their influence beyond their work environments.

Variational Quantum Non-Orthogonal Optimization

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Current universal quantum computers have a limited number of noisy qubits. Because of this, it is difficult to use them to solve large-scale complex optimization problems. In this paper we tackle this issue by proposing a quantum optimization scheme where discrete classical variables are encoded in non-orthogonal states of the quantum system. We develop the case of non-orthogonal qubit states, with individual qubits on the quantum computer handling more than one bit classical variable. Combining this idea with Variational Quantum Eigensolvers (VQE) and quantum state tomography, we show that it is possible to significantly reduce the number of qubits required by quantum hardware to solve complex optimization problems. We benchmark our algorithm by successfully optimizing a polynomial of degree 8 and 15 variables using only 15 qubits. Our proposal opens the path towards solving real-life useful optimization problems in today's limited quantum hardware.

Approximate methods for joint models in longitudinal studies
Creators: name: Lu, Libo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Longitudinal studies often contain several statistical issues, suchas longitudinal process and time-to-event process, the associationamong which requires joint modeling strategy. We firstly review the recent researches on the joint modeling topic. After that, four popular inference methods are introduced for jointly analyzing longitudinal data and time-to-event data based on a combination of typical parametric models. However, some of them may suffer from non-ignorable bias of the estimators. Others may be computationally intensive or even lead to convergence problems. In this thesis, we propose an approximate likelihood-based simultaneous inference method for jointly modeling longitudinal process and time-to-event process with covariate measurement errors problem. By linearizing the joint model, we design a strategy for updating the random effects that connect the two processes, and propose two algorithm frameworks for different scenarios of joint likelihood function. Both frameworks approximate the multidimensional integral in the observed-data joint likelihood by analytic expressions, which greatly reduce the computational intensity of the complex joint modeling problem. We apply this new method to a real dataset along with some available methods. The inference result provided by our new method agrees with those from other popular methods, and makes sensible biological interpretation. We also conduct a simulation study for comparing these methods. Our new method looks promising in terms of estimation precision, as well as computation efficiency, especially when more subjects are given. Conclusions and discussions for future research are listed in the end.

description: Financial challenges have forced many publicly funded academic institutions in Ontario to adopt a corporate model and to use market tools to compete in the higher education market and maintain their enrolment and revenue levels. The adoption of costly price and non-price competitive variables creates the need to measure the effect of these variables and to examine whether or not universities have received that for which they have paid. This study has analyzed how competition affects publicly funded universities in Ontario. Competition was examined by relating universities’ expenditures on price and non-price competitive variables (awards, marketing, graduates, and professors), as well as population related to the total number of applicants, total number of enrollees, and persistence ratio over the period of 2006 to 2013. The study used quantitative research design and panel data regression method to conduct the research. When examining the whole market, results show that there are positive and significant relationships between awards, marketing, population, and enrolment. Also, positive and significant relationships were observed between awards, professors, population, and total number of applicants. The result shows that awards and marketing have positive and significant effects on persistence ratio. This study also provides empirical evidence on how the effect of the adopted competitive variables varies for each university. This indicates that there are appropriate competitive variables for each publicly funded university, and that what could work for one university might not give the same results for other universities. Results provide relevant information for academic institutions on how to manage their applications and enrolment activities, and how to improve their persistence ratio.

description: In previous papers we investigated so-called sum of translates functions $F({\mathbf{x}},t):=J(t)+\sum_{j=1}^n ν_j K(t-x_j)$, where $J:[0,1]\to \underline{\mathbb{R}}:={\mathbb{R}}\cup\{-\infty\}$ is a "sufficiently nondegenerate" and upper-bounded "field function", and $K:[-1,1]\to \underline{\mathbb{R}}$ is a fixed "kernel function", concave both on $(-1,0)$ and $(0,1)$, and also satisfying the singularity condition $K(0)=\lim_{t\to 0} K(t)=-\infty$. For node systems ${\mathbf{x}}:=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ with $x_0:=0\le x_1\le\dots\le x_n\le 1=:x_{n+1}$, we analyzed the behavior of the local maxima vector ${\mathbf{m}}:=(m_0,m_1,\ldots,m_n)$, where $m_j:=m_j({\mathbf{x}}):=\sup_{x_j\le t\le x_{j+1}} F({\mathbf{x}},t)$. Among other results we proved a strong intertwining property: if the kernels are also decreasing on $(-1,0)$ and increasing on $(0,1)$, and the field function is upper semicontinuous, then for any two different node systems there are $i,j$ such that $m_i({\mathbf{x}})m_j({\mathbf{y}})$. Here we partially succeed to extend this even to nonsingular kernels.

description: Hydrodynamics accurately describes relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments well before local thermal equilibrium is established. This unexpectedly rapid onset of hydrodynamics -- which takes place on the fastest available timescale -- is called hydrodynamization. It occurs when an interacting quantum system is quenched with an energy density that is much greater than its initial energy density. During hydrodynamization, energy gets redistributed across very different energy scales. Hydrodynamization precedes local equilibration among momentum modes, which is local prethermalization to a generalized Gibbs ensemble in nearly integrable systems or local thermalization in non-integrable systems. Many theories of quantum dynamics postulate local (pre)thermalization, but the associated timescale has not been quantitatively studied. Here we use an array of 1D Bose gases to directly observe both hydrodynamization and local prethermalization. After we apply a Bragg scattering pulse, hydrodynamization is evident in the fast redistribution of energy among distant momentum modes, which occurs on timescales associated with the Bragg peak energies. Local prethermalization can be seen in the slower redistribution of occupation among nearby momentum modes. We find that the time scale for local prethermalization in our system is inversely proportional to the momenta involved. During hydrodynamization and local prethermalization, existing theories cannot quantitatively model our experiment. Exact theoretical calculations in the Tonks-Girardeau limit show qualitatively similar features.

subject: Prosopagnisia

description: This study introduces a wearable facial recognition system for face blindness, or prosopagnosia, rehabilitation. Prosopagnosia is the inability to recognize familiar faces, which affects 2.5% of the world population (148 million people). The design and implementation of a facial recognition system tailored to patients with prosopagnosia is a priority in the field of clinical neuroscience. The goal of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing a wearable stand-alone (not connected to a PC or a smartphone) system-on-chip (SoC) that performs facial recognition and could be used to assist individuals affected by prosopagnosia. This system is designed as an autonomous embedded platform built on eyewear with SoC and a custom designed circuit board. The implementation is based on the open source computer vision image processing algorithms embedded within a compact-scale processor. The advantages of the device are its lightness, compactness, single independent image processing capability and long operational time. The system performs real-time facial recognition and informs the user of the results by displaying the name of the recognized person.

description: We study the energy efficiency of species production by streamer discharges with a single voltage pulse in atmospheric dry air, using a 2D axisymmetric fluid model. Sixty different positive streamers are simulated by varying the electrode length, the pulse duration and the applied voltage. Between these cases, the streamer radius and velocity vary by about an order of magnitude, but the variation in the maximal electric field is significantly smaller, about 30%. We find that G-values for the production of N(4S), O(3P), NO and N2O, which have relatively high activation energies, vary by about 30% to 55%. This variation is mainly caused by two factors: differences in the fraction of energy deposited in the streamer head region, and differences in the maximal electric field at the streamer head. When accounting for both factors, our computed G-values are in good agreement with an analytic estimate proposed by Naidis (2012 Plasma Sources Sci. Technol. 21 042001). We also simulate negative streamers and find that their production of N(4S), O(3P) and NO is less energy efficient. The results suggest that energy efficiency can be increased by reducing Joule heating in the streamer channel and by increasing the maximal electric field at the streamer head, for example by using short voltage pulses with a high applied voltage.

description: This thesis examines the structure and pricing behaviour of the Alberta electricity market, with an emphasis on the 2001 to 2011 period that coincides with the deregulation of wholesale generation and an increased use of wind energy in the province. A GARCH model is developed to examine what impact the mean and variance of wind has on power prices. Output of this GARCH model suggests that wind levels decrease power prices and that wind generation variance tends to decrease price variance, especially during high priced periods. In-model forecasting exercises demonstrate that this GARCH model outperforms a random walk and moving average in both volatile and non-volatile periods, highlighting the importance of capturing the effects of wind in Alberta power price forecasting, especially as pool prices become more volatile and wind power gains prominence.

description: We present nonlinear dynamic equations for nematic and smectic $A$ liquid crystals in the presence of an alternating electric field and explain their derivation in detail. The local electric field acting in any liquid-crystalline system is expressed as a sum of external electric field and the fields originating from feedback of liquid crystal order parameter, and a field, created by charged impurities. The system tends to decrease the total electric field, because it lowers the energy density. This basically nonlinear problem is not a pure academic interest. In the realm of liquid crystals and their applications, utilized nowadays modern experimental techniques have progressed to the point where even small deviations from the linear behavior can be observed and measured with a high accuracy. Hydrodynamics is the macroscopic description of condensed matter systems in the low frequency, long wavelength limit. Nonlinear hydrodynamic equations are well established to describe simple fluids. Similar approaches (with degrees of freedom related to the broken orientational or translational symmetry included) have been used also for liquid crystals. However to study behavior of strongly perturbed well above the thresholds of various electro-hydrodynamic instabilities of liquid crystals the nonlinear equations should include soft electromagnetic degrees of freedom as well. The self-consistent derivation of the complete set of the nonlinear electro-hydrodynamic equations for liquid crystals became an actual task. The aim of our work is to present these equations, which is a mandatory step to handle any nonlinear phenomenon in liquid crystals.

description: This thesis examines the validity of static terrestrial laser scanning self-calibration and measurement procedures within current 3D cadastral surveying law in Canada, Australia and South Africa. It examines methodologies used to validate static terrestrial laser scanning outputs subjected to rigorous cross-examination within professional land surveying missions. Due to the construction and design of current laser scanning systems, the raw measurements are not typically available for analysis by the operator and thus their validity could be scrutinized in a court of law. The objectives are met by reviewing and analyzing typical terrestrial laser scanner measurements and outputs based on the laser scanning system construction, scanning environment, and scanning mission procedures. The results show that while terrestrial laser scanning systems provide invaluable information, they could be scrutinized if the proper procedures are not followed. However, the results also suggest that the complimentary methods of terrestrial laser scanning and total station measurements provide the most rigorous results when defining 3D boundaries.

description: South Asians experience high rates of cardiovascular disease. Medications are a major component of chronic disease management. A systematic literature review revealed factors that contributed to medication non-adherence with South Asians. Content analysis strategies were used for the synthesis. Thirteen papers were in the final set with medication side-effects, cost, forgetfulness and language barriers contributing to non-adherence. Inconsistent methodologies and scant information on immigrant factors within the Canadian context led to further exploration. An ethnographic study was conducted between January to September 2012. Observations and interviews were conducted with South Asian cardiac patients, as well as physicians, pharmacists and staff. Fieldnote and interview data were transcribed and analyzed using ethnographic domains and cultural themes. South Asian cardiac patients relied on family members for instrumental support. Medication adherence was enhanced when relationships with healthcare professionals demonstrated clear communication and cultural awareness. Memory mechanisms need to be individualized and were generally ‘low technology’.

description: Acidic gases are important trace components of the troposphere because they contribute to particle formation and acid deposition. Here, a mist chamber (MIST) was used to collect acidic gases into aqueous solutions, which were analyzed by ion chromatography (IC) or capillary electrophoresis (CE). A CE method was developed, in which anions were separated in either a didodecyldimethylammonium or dimethyldioctadecylammonium bromide modified capillary at pH 5.86 and detected by indirect UV absorbance using naphthalenedisulfonate as probe with detection limits of 10 to 20 µM. The MIST collection efficiency (COE) was determined by chemical ionization mass spectrometry using acetate reagent ion. For HCOOH, the COE was < 80% when deionized water was used as trapping solution. The mass spectrometer was calibrated by MIST – IC and was superior with respect to response time (1 s versus 10 min), detection limit (< 100 ppt versus ~6 ppb), and near-absence of inlet memory effects.

description: We advocate the existence of a new type of $k_\perp$-dependent functions. In contrast to the well-known Boer-Mulders function, the presented new functions can be associated with the collective alignment of quark spin vectors. Moreover, the new functions are sensitive to the transverse motion of partons inside hadrons, which are linked to the spin alignment of partons, and they are initiated by the interactions encoded in the corresponding correlators.

description: We consider the superfluid weight, speed of sound and excitation fraction of a flat band Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) within multiband Bogoliubov theory. The superfluid weight is calculated by introducing a phase winding and minimizing the free energy with respect to it. We find that the superfluid weight has a contribution arising from the change of the condensate density and chemical potential upon the phase twist that has been neglected in the previous literature. We also point out that the speed of sound and the excitation fraction are proportional to orbital-position-independent generalizations of the quantum metric and the quantum distance, and reduce to the usual quantum metric (Fubini-Study metric) and the Hilbert-Schmidt quantum distance only in special cases. We derive a second order perturbation correction to the dependence of the speed of sound on the generalized quantum metric, and show that it compares well with numerical calculations. Our results provide a consistent connection between flat band BEC and quantum geometry, with physical observables being independent of the orbital positions as they should, and complete formulas for the evaluation of the superfluid weight within the Bogoliubov theory. We discuss the limitations of the Bogoliubov theory in evaluating the superfluid weight.

description: An influential theory of increasing returns has been proposed by the economist W. B. Arthur in the '80s to explain the lock-in phenomenon between two competing commercial products. In the most simplified situation there are two competing products that gain customers according to a majority mechanism: each new customer arrives and asks which product they bought to a certain odd number of previous customers, and then buy the most shared product within this sample. It is known that one of these two companies reaches monopoly almost surely in the limit of infinite customers. Here we consider a generalization [G. Dosi, Y. Ermoliev, Y. Kaniovsky, J. Math. Econom. 23, 1-19 (1994)] where the new customer follows the indication of the sample with some probability, and buy the other product otherwise. Other than economy, this model can be reduced to the urn of Hill, Lane and Sudderth, and includes several models of physical interest as special cases, like the Elephant Random Walk, the Friedman's urn and other generalized urn models. We provide a large deviation analysis of this model at the sample-path level, and give a formula that allows to find the most likely trajectories followed by the market share variable. Interestingly, in the parameter range where the lock-in phase is expected, we observe a whole region of convergence where the entropy cost is sub-linear. We also find a non-linear differential equation for the cumulant generating function of the market share variable, that can be studied with a suitable perturbations theory.

description: Sport participation is one of the most common means of physical activity engagement amongst Canadian children and youth, but exposure to sport also comes with an increased risk of injury. Concussions are the most common specific injury in youth ice hockey, which is played by over a quarter of a million young Canadians every year. There is a gap in the literature regarding the association between physical activity and concussion from a primary prevention perspective. In this document, the association between PA and concussion outcomes were examined in youth ice hockey players. Male Pee Wee (11-12 years old) and Bantam (13-14 years old) ice hockey players who did not meet the physical activity recommendations were more than twice as likely to sustain a concussion as male Pee Wee and Bantam ice hockey players who met the physical activity recommendations. Meeting the physical activity recommendations was not associated with concussion risk amongst male Midget ice hockey players (15-17 years old). There was no significant association between six-week total physical activity volume and concussion risk in male youth ice hockey players, regardless of age. Hourly increases in weekly hockey-specific participation were associated with increased risk of concussion. Hourly increases in 28-day cumulative hockey participation volume were associated with increased concussion risk in 13-17 year-old ice hockey players. There was no association between meeting the physical activity recommendations and the odds of performing exceptionally well or exceptionally poorly on the Standardized Assessment of Concussion and Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment Cognitive Testing. A systematic review revealed that the quantity and quality of the current available evidence evaluating the impact of concussion on cardiac autonomic function is not yet sufficient to support its use as a measure of response to PA following concussion. The implications of these findings on future research were discussed.

description: The PostLie algebra is an enriched structure of the Lie algebra that has recently arisen from operadic study. It is closely related to pre-Lie algebra, Rota-Baxter algebra, dendriform trialgebra, modified classical Yang-Baxter equations and integrable systems. We give a complete classification of PostLie algebra structures on the Lie algebra sl(2,C) up to isomorphism. We first reduce the classification problem to solving an equation of 3 x 3 matrices. To solve the latter problem, we make use of the classification of complex symmetric matrices up to the congruent action of orthogonal groups.

description: Anchored in the generative fathering framework and critical disability studies (CDS), I used a narrative approach to study 11 fathers’ stories of leisure with their children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to highlight how leisure activities are given meaning and constructed as part of active fathering. I produced four narratives - narratives of action, narratives of adjustment, narratives of tension and narratives of relationships that captured fathers’ experiences of leisure with their children with ASD. Narratives of action are the stories of what fathers are doing in their day- to- day interactions with their children. Narratives of adjustment depict how fathers have shifted and re-defined expectations of their children and themselves following their children’s diagnosis of ASD. Narratives of tension capture fathers’ strain in concurrently having to acquiesce and advocate against financial, environmental and societal constraints. Lastly, in narratives of relationships, fathers illustrate the relational outcomes of their involvement with their children, including an appreciation of their children’s individuality and the father-child connection. The findings augment a deeper understanding of fathering children with ASD and the father-child relationship. By understanding fathers’ perceived successes and challenges in leisure activities in the home and community settings, service providers can better engage and support fathers in home- and community-based leisure.

description: The fresh concrete properties and mechanical properties of oil palm shell concrete (OPSC) containing palm oil fuel ash (POFA) as partial cement replacement have been evaluated. The effects of POFA replacement levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% & 25% under different curing regimes, namely air curing, full water curing and initial water curing were investigated. For the evaluation of fresh concrete properties various test like slump, vebe second, compaction factor and wet density test were performed. The highest 28-day compressive strength of 42 MPa was obtained for the OPSC containing 10% of POFA under continuous water curing condition. The results also denoted cost reduction about 14% is possible for concrete produced from POFA based OPSC. Conversely, the splitting tensile and flexural strengths of OPSC decreased when increased amount of POFA was used. For durability properties, POFA was used as at 0%, 10%, 30% and 50% as replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) when the water binder ratio (w/b) was 0.3 and again, OPC was replaced at 0% and 70% by POFA with w/b of 0.4.Different w/b was enacted to assess the outcome of pozzolanic reaction of POFA for different mixes. The durability tests include water absorption, sorptivity, drying shrinkage, sulphate attack and rapid chloride penetration test (RCPT) for 28- and 90-day water cured specimens. The water absorption and sorptivity values increase with the increase of POFA content. POFA based OPSC showed good resistance to sulphate attack. The drying shrinkage of POFA based concrete was higher with the increase of POFA content. The highest chloride ion penetration of about 5960 coulomb was recorded for the mix with 30% replacement of cement by POFA and with the further more replacement, the RCPT values were positively decreasing. iv In view of the current criteria for a sustainable environmental benefits, green building rating systems, infrastructure, the use of industrial wastes such as POFA and OPS as binder and coarse aggregates, respectively could benefit the concrete industry.

description: We calculate the resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) response in a Mott insulator which is described by the Falicov-Kimball model. The model can be solved exactly within the single site dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) approximation and the calculated RIXS response is accurate up to a local background correction. We find that on resonance the RIXS response is greatly enhanced over various other non-resonant background effects and the response systematically evolves from a single peak structure, arising due to relaxation processes within the lower Hubbard band, to a two peak structure, arising due to relaxation processes within the upper Hubbard band as well as across the Mott gap into the lower Hubbard band, as we vary the incident photon frequency to access states from the bottom of the lower Hubbard band to the top of the upper Hubbard band. The charge transfer excitations are found to disperse monotonically outwards (as a function of transfered energy) as we go from the center of the Brillouin zone towards the zone corner. These correlation induced features have been observed by Hasan {\it et. al.} (Science {\bf 288}, 1811 (2000)) and many other experimentalists in RIXS measurements over various transition metal oxide compounds and are found to be robust and survive even for large Auger lifetime broadening effects. As a comparison, we also calculate the dynamic structure factor for this model, which is proportional to the nonresonant part of the response, and does not show these specific signatures.

description: An improved variational ansatz is proposed to capture the most striking properties of the ground state of a slightly biased attractive two-site Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian. Our ansatz, albeit its simplicity, is found to capture well the exact properties of the ground state for a wide variety of model parameters, in particular the fragmentation occurring before the formation of cat-like states and also the formation of strongly correlated cat-like states.
