“You Can Write Your Own Ending”: Storytelling and Counternarratives in Supernatural Fanfiction
Creators: name: Roberts, Erica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: This study examines fanfiction counternarratives written when fans reacted negatively to the Supernatural TV show finale through content analysis of a quota sampling of Supernatural fanfiction tagged Castiel/Dean Winchester published on Archive of Our Own. The sample selected for the top four fanfiction stories based on popularity (kudos) and the writer’s passion (word count). Each story was coded and analyzed for specific story elements that were influenced by the original narrative’s story choices, which were also coded and analyzed. The impacts of this research will be: adding to the literature on counternarratives and fanfiction specifically; further legitimizing fanfiction as a method of storytelling; and through connecting fanfiction to their varied and potential uses in libraries, possibly describing potential changes in collections development.
Consistency of the maximum likelihood and variational estimators in a dynamic stochastic block model

Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: We consider a dynamic version of the stochastic block model, in which the nodes are partitioned into latent classes and the connection between two nodes is drawn from a Bernoulli distribution depending on the classes of these two nodes. The temporal evolution is modeled through a hidden Markov chain on the nodes memberships. We prove the consistency (as the number of nodes and time steps increase) of the maximum likelihood and variational estimators of the model parameters, and obtain upper bounds on the rates of convergence of these estimators. We also explore the particular case where the number of time steps is fixed and connectivity parameters are allowed to vary.

description: Private sector tax practitioners are often accused of unethical behavior in developing contrived tax avoidance arrangements. Such arrangements usually comply with the letter of the law but contravene its underlying (often unstated) ‘spirit’. Prior research comparing the ethical reasoning of private sector tax practitioners, government revenue tax practitioners and a non-tax (control) group in both social and tax contexts found no significant differences between them in a social context. However, where tax dilemmas were concerned, private sector tax practitioners demonstrated lower levels of ethical reasoning. We seek here to examine whether this difference results from the regard private sector tax practitioners have for the law – in other words, whether they have a law and order orientation when facing ethical issues or whether the professional context offers other motives. Using the Defining Issues Test (DIT) and a tax-specific context version of the DIT, we test whether there is a law and order dominance in the ethical reasoning of private sector tax practitioners in both tax and social contexts, in comparison with government revenue tax practitioners and a non-tax control group.

description: In recent studies, the generalization properties for distributed learning and random features assumed the existence of the target concept over the hypothesis space. However, this strict condition is not applicable to the more common non-attainable case. In this paper, using refined proof techniques, we first extend the optimal rates for distributed learning with random features to the non-attainable case. Then, we reduce the number of required random features via data-dependent generating strategy, and improve the allowed number of partitions with additional unlabeled data. Theoretical analysis shows these techniques remarkably reduce computational cost while preserving the optimal generalization accuracy under standard assumptions. Finally, we conduct several experiments on both simulated and real-world datasets, and the empirical results validate our theoretical findings.

Identifying and Evaluating User Interface Elements and the Usability of Online Food Ordering Systems of Restaurants in North Carolina’s Triangle Region
Creators: name: Soucaze, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: This study serves as a content analysis to determine the principal user interface elements of online food ordering systems (OFOS) of restaurant businesses in North Carolina’s Triangle Area. Further, this study compares the OFOS user interface elements between local businesses and chain businesses. This study surveys case studies about user interface elements in OFOS and defines Jakob Nielsen’s 10 Usability Heuristics. Subsequently, this study codes a sample of 120 interfaces against a guide based on findings from other OFOS case studies as well as Nielsen’s heuristics. This analysis could potentially help businesses revise their OFOS to improve user experiences and, in turn, their revenue and competitiveness against other businesses.

description: Incorporating data/information art into spatial design alters patrons’ perception, use, and engagement of that area. The “Oscillation” mural in the Manning Hall makerspace will be the basis of my verbal survey to study participants’ perception of the work before and after they learn its context. A description of the mural making process - data collection, color choices, process, imagery - will provide that context. An analysis of these responses were conducted through coding like-terms and marking their frequency and use. The findings show the effect of information visuals in a making space, and users’ emotional responses to it. The impact of these reactions can show how incorporating data art, specifically murals, into a space can help or deter use, experience, and community.

Cataloging of medical literature

description: MEDLINE, the citation database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine, provides global access to biomedical research citations. It uses Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), a controlled vocabulary, to facilitate retrieval of this information. Although MeSH works effectively for many search strategies, it does not sufficiently describe Indigenous identities in a way that both respects Indigenous peoples and allows for retrieval of specific rather than general population-based health information. I created a structured search for identifying articles on Indigenous health in MEDLINE, screened these articles in Covidence, extracted the MeSH terms, analyzed them, created data visualizations, and contextualized these findings in the broader history of controlled vocabularies and the ethics of describing groups of people. The resulting data indicated that although there are some MeSH terms for describing Indigenous peoples, they are not applied to every article on Indigenous health, and that terms for location are used to provide greater specificity.

description: To deal with very large datasets a mini-batch version of the Monte Carlo Markov Chain Stochastic Approximation Expectation-Maximization algorithm for general latent variable models is proposed. For exponential models the algorithm is shown to be convergent under classicalconditions as the number of iterations increases. Numerical experiments illustrate the performance of the mini-batch algorithm in various models.In particular, we highlight that mini-batch sampling results in an important speed-up of the convergence of the sequence of estimators generated by the algorithm. Moreover, insights on the effect of the mini-batch size on the limit distribution are presented. Finally, we illustrate how to use mini-batch sampling in practice to improve results when a constraint on the computing time is given.

Maintaining Epistemic Well-being: Information, Experts, & Collective Decision Making in Society.
Creators: name: Santos, Ashton
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: The primary aim of this paper is to formulate an amelioration of the epistemic community’s ability to ensure quality control of information for the sake of collective decision making. It begins by focusing on the processes individual agents could use to determine which information is most reliable, namely expert testimony. After elucidating the complex and interconnected nature of problems associated with these processes, I introduce complex systems thinking and define Epistemic Well-being as an emergent property of the complex system underlying our epistemic community and its ability to ensure quality control of information. The final sections of the paper defend an initial proposal for the type of amelioration required in the face of complex social epistemic problems, and provides guidance regarding future consideration of this issue.

description: This thesis presents the outcomes of a three-year design-based research (DBR) project that addressed, through a pragmatic approach, the growing challenge of encouraging higher education students to engage deeply in text-based resources. In doing so, I took the novel approach of bringing together my skills as a researcher, programmer, and teacher to develop and evaluate an open-source, web-based learning tool called Arleno. The tool allows a teacher, through social annotation, to turn static text-based content into dynamic inquiry-based activities that can support a critical Community of Inquiry. I evaluated and enhanced the solution over two 12-week interventions in my direct practice setting, the computing department of a UK-based university. I underpinned this process with a qualitatively focused simultaneous mixed-methods approach that evaluated 50 activity answers, 24 semi-structured interviews, and field notes. The findings revealed that developing a new learning tool is a challenging undertaking and uncovered a range of factors that need to be considered. However, the solution proved effective in supporting learners in taking a deep-level approach to engaging in text-based learning materials, supporting high levels of cognitive presence. Further, the participants, having had little meaningful prior exposure to group or text-based learning, reported increased motivation and criticality towards engaging in text-based materials. Overall, the results allowed deep insights regarding the design, the process, and the outcomes of creating an innovative learning solution that can support a critical Community of Inquiry. As such, this work will be of use to teachers, researchers, and learning designers who are looking either to design their own learning solution; or, for those interested in using the solution presented in this work and since Arleno is open-source they are free to do so.

description: Vector-valued learning, where the output space admits a vector-valued structure, is an important problem that covers a broad family of important domains, e.g. multi-task learning and transfer learning. Using local Rademacher complexity and unlabeled data, we derive novel semi-supervised excess risk bounds for general vector-valued learning from both kernel perspective and linear perspective. The derived bounds are much sharper than existing ones and the convergence rates are improved from the square root of labeled sample size to the square root of total sample size or directly dependent on labeled sample size. Motivated by our theoretical analysis, we propose a general semi-supervised algorithm for efficiently learning vector-valued functions, incorporating both local Rademacher complexity and Laplacian regularization. Extensive experimental results illustrate the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the compared methods, which coincides with our theoretical findings.

description: For this master’s project, I conducted interviews with academic librarians who have established programs and services aimed at addressing student food insecurity in some way. Using thematic analysis, I then identified themes and subthemes across the data set to identify best practices for establishing such initiatives and compiled those best practices into a website. The purpose of this website guide is to provide academic library employees who are interested in launching their own food justice initiatives with the necessary tools and best practices for doing so, thus alleviating some of the stress that accompanies establishing new services from the ground up. I also hope that this guide will help folks working in academic libraries understand the urgency of establishing long-term, sustainable approaches to addressing food insecurity on college campuses. The available data shows that student food insecurity is only getting worse as time goes on. Even more, we likely do not know the full extent to which college students experience food insecurity because there is no true national estimate. As such, it is crucial for folks across campus departments to do whatever they can to address this issue, and it is my hope that this guide will make that process simpler for folks working in academic libraries. Though food justice initiatives are a nascent aspect of academic library services, the growing body of literature on this topic suggests that academic libraries are willing to incorporate food justice into their provided services.

For tracking and prediction, approaches based on (deep) neural networks and other, especially stochastic techniques, are reported. For decision making, deep reinforcement learning algorithms are presented, together with methods used to explore different alternative actions, such as Monte Carlo Tree Search.

description: The generalization performance of kernel methods is largely determined by the kernel, but common kernels are stationary thus input-independent and output-independent, that limits their applications on complicated tasks. In this paper, we propose a powerful and efficient spectral kernel learning framework and learned kernels are dependent on both inputs and outputs, by using non-stationary spectral kernels and flexibly learning the spectral measure from the data. Further, we derive a data-dependent generalization error bound based on Rademacher complexity, which estimates the generalization ability of the learning framework and suggests two regularization terms to improve performance. Extensive experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and confirm our theoretical results.

In fact, for codimension $p\leq 11$ we prove that $f$ must be holomorphic with respect to some complex structure in the ambient space.

description: This paper describes several approaches for estimating the benchmark dose (BMD) in a risk assessment study with quantal dose-response data and when there are competing model classes for the dose-response function. Strategies involving a two-step approach, a model-averaging approach, a focused-inference approach, and a nonparametric approach based on a PAVA-based estimator of the dose-response function are described and compared. Attention is raised to the perils involved in data "double-dipping" and the need to adjust for the model-selection stage in the estimation procedure. Simulation results are presented comparing the performance of five model selectors and eight BMD estimators. An illustration using a real quantal-response data set from a carcinogenecity study is provided.

description: In this work we focus on reduced order modelling for problems for which the resulting reduced basis spaces show a slow decay of the Kolmogorov $n$-width, or, in practical calculations, its computational surrogate given by the magnitude of the eigenvalues returned by a proper orthogonal decomposition on the solution manifold. In particular, we employ an additional preprocessing during the offline phase of the reduced basis method, in order to obtain smaller reduced basis spaces. Such preprocessing is based on the composition of the snapshots with a transport map, that is a family of smooth and invertible mappings that map the physical domain of the problem into itself. Two test cases are considered: a fluid moving in a domain with deforming walls, and a fluid past a rotating cylinder. Comparison between the results of the novel offline stage and the standard one is presented.

description: We employ the Planck 2013 CMB temperature anisotropy and lensing data, and baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) data to constrain a phenomenological $w$CDM model, where dark matter and dark energy interact. We assume time-dependent equation of state parameter for dark energy, and treat dark matter and dark energy as fluids whose energy-exchange rate is proportional to the dark-matter density. The CMB data alone leave a strong degeneracy between the interaction rate and the physical CDM density parameter today, $ω_c$, allowing a large interaction rate $|Γ| \sim H_0$. However, as has been known for a while, the BAO data break this degeneracy. Moreover, we exploit the CMB lensing potential likelihood, which probes the matter perturbations at redshift $z \sim 2$ and is very sensitive to the growth of structure, and hence one of the tools for discerning between the $Λ$CDM model and its alternatives. However, we find that in the non-phantom models ($w_{\mathrm{de}}>-1$), the constraints remain unchanged by the inclusion of the lensing data and consistent with zero interaction, $-0.14 < Γ/H_0 < 0.02$ at 95\% CL. On the contrary, in the phantom models ($w_{\mathrm{de}}

description: Для правової системи Франції характерний дуалізм приватного права, якому присутня відокремленість правових норм в регулюванні торгівельної (комерційної) діяльності від норм цивільного права. Про дуалізм приватного права Франції слід говорити як про формі внутрішнього розподілу, яка не порушує галузеву цілісність. Дуалізм як внутрішня система поділу цивільного права дозволяє враховувати особливості правового регулювання комерційних відносин. В такому разі, відповідні комерційні правовідносини не противляться цивільним, не порушують єдності цивільного права. Така група правових відносин підкреслює певний рівень їх системної диференціації в межах єдиного цивільного права. Позитивним моментом, що має стати прикладом нормопроектування для вітчизняного законодавця є відхід від декларативного нормування комерційних відносин в бік системного поєднання розрізнених нормативно-правових актів спеціально-правового характеру. Так, якщо ми ідемо шляхом ганебної декодифікації господарських правовідносин, Франція навпаки, посилює рівень «кодифікаційності» комерційних відносин. Cучасна правова система Франції перебуває під впливом тектонічних зломів які відбуваються в Європі. Приватне право Франції не є замкнутою системою. Отже економічна інтеграція не може успішно розвиватися без належної правової основи, чим стає комунітарне право Європейського союзу. Не зважаючи на те, що в складі Європейського союзу налічує 28 держав, доцентровою силою, яка формує інституціональні скрепи комунітарної правової системи є Франція і Німеччина. Наведене обумовило активізацію процесів реформування законодавства цієї країни. Синергетичний вплив обох держав на розвиток сучасного європейського праворозуміння вимагає поступового зближення двох інституціональних систем правового регулювання суспільних відносин. Вказаний процес об’єктивно вимагає реформування законодавства двох країн, приведення їх до потреб тих процесів економічної інтеграції, що відбуваються в Європейському товаристві. Сфера комерційного права Франції позбувається інертності. З іншого боку, слід визнати що дуалізм приватного права Франції не є руйнуючою силою ні для цивільного права ні для комерційного. Розумна інтегративність положень Комерційного кодексу та Цивільного кодексу Франції дозволяє ефективно регулювати відповідні відносини не створюючи штучних перешкод в їх розвитку.

description: Using N-body/SPH simulations we study the evolution of the separation of a pair of SMBHs embedded in a star forming circumnuclear disk (CND). This type of disk is expected to be formed in the central kilo parsec of the remnant of gas-rich galaxy mergers. Our simulations indicate that orbital decay of the SMBHs occurs more quickly when the mean density of the CND is higher, due to increased dynamical friction. However, in simulations where the CND is fragmented in high density gaseous clumps (clumpy CND), the orbits of the SMBHs are erratically perturbed by the gravitational interaction with these clumps, delaying, in some cases, the orbital decay of the SMBHs. The densities of these gaseous clumps in our simulations and in recent studies of clumpy CNDs are significantly higher than the observed density of molecular clouds in isolated galaxies or ULIRGs, thus, we expect that SMBH orbits are perturbed less in real CNDs than in the simulated CNDs of this study and other recent studies. We also find that the migration timescale has a weak dependence on the star formation rate of the CND. Furthermore, the migration timescale of a SMBH pair in a star-forming clumpy CND is at most a factor three longer than the migration timescale of a pair of SMBHs in a CND modeled with more simple gas physics. Therefore, we estimate that the migration timescale of the SMBHs in a clumpy CND is on the order of $10^7$ yrs.

description: We present results of all sky survey, performed with data acquired by the IBIS telescope onboard the INTEGRAL observatory over eleven years of operation, at energies above 100 keV. A catalogue of detected sources includes 132 objects. The statistical sample detected on the time-averaged 100-150 keV map at a significance above 5 sigma contains 88 sources: 28 AGNs, 38 LMXBs, 10 HMXBs and 12 rotation-powered young X-ray pulsars. The catalogue includes also 15 persistent sources, which were registered with the significance 4 sigma < S/N < 5 in hard X-rays, but at the same time were firmly detected (>12 sigma) in the 17-60 keV energy band. All sources from these two groups are known X-ray emitters, that means that the catalogue has 100% purity in respect to them. Additionally, 29 sources were found in different time intervals. In the context of the survey we present a hardness ratio of galactic and extragalactic sources, a LMXBs longitudinal asymmetry and a number-flux relation for non-blazar AGNs. At higher energies, in the 150-300 keV energy band, 25 sources have been detected with a signal-to-noise ratio S/N > 5 sigma, including 7 AGNs, 13 LMXBs, 3 HMXBs, and 2 rotation-powered pulsars. Among LMXBs and HMXBs we identified 12 black hole candidates (BHC) and 4 neutron star (NS) binaries.

Geometrical Interpretation of Multipoles and Moments on Differential Manifolds
Creators: name: Pinto, Paolo
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: In this thesis, the construction of a specific family of linear functionals with support on a closed embedding c : R ,→ M upon a manifold is discussed. The construction is performed in a purely coordinate free fashion, based on the De Rham push-forward approach and generalised to define "tensorial currents" called "multipoles". Several geometrical and algebraic properties are investigated and two main useful classes of non-trivial coordinate representations are compared and related to the choices of some extra structures on the manifold (i.e. affine connection, foliation, adapted atlas, adapted frames). It is shown that in general, the transformation rules are not given by the action of the linear group, unless some information upon the "transverse" directions with respect to the closed embedding is provided. It is shown how the multipoles are the geometrical objects naturally arising when some specific one parameter families of compact support tensor fields are expanded asymptotically around the closed embedding. In case a one parameter family satisfies also an extra condition (i.e. self similarity) it is shown how to recover the well known standard definition of "moments", opening the door to a new completely covariant and coordinate free meaning of the concept of "multipole expansion" of functions and tensor field upon the differential manifolds. It is shown how these linear functionals admit a coordinates representation coinciding with the moments commonly defined to perform the Pole-Dipole approximation of an Energy-Momentum Tensor field in General Relativity, and when a Levi Civita connection is assumed on a pseudo-Riemmanian manifold, the first two multipoles related to an Energy Momentum tensor field expansion can easily satisfy the well known Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equation. Since the proposed method of construction of the multipoles does not rely on a specific metric or a specific affine connection, a generalisation of the Pole-Dipole approximation for a non metric connection is easily achieved, casting the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equation in presence of a non null torsion. Because of this, there is hence the possibility to interpret the test particles and test charges within the Relativistic Theories (possibly beyond General Relativity) just as the multipole approximation of the regular sources of the interaction fields, with a new clear geometrical background.
