Team-based attitude : theory development, inventory construction, and psychometric analysis
Creators: name: Twist, Pete W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The purpose of this study concerns the development of a valid and reliable team-orientation instrument which measures tendencies towards multidimensional team-based attitudes within interactive, interdependent elite sport groups. The theoretical basis utilized to build a conceptual model includes team norms and team dynamics. Specifically, the components hypothesized to tap team-based attitude include team maintenance, team identity, team unity, cohesive norms, task-orientation, team motivation and aspirations, and locomotive norms. Team norms and team dynamics theory, existing inventory content, and interviews with expert coaches and elite athletes were all considered in developing the initial item pool. Based on operational definitions, expert judges performed an initial validation by fitting items within the appropriate construct. The empirical testing of the inventory was based on data from subjects (N=153) from the Canada West University Athletic Association. Lisrel VI confirmatory factor analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and reliability (internal consistency) were applied to the data. Factor loadings, goodness of fit index, chi-square to degrees of freedom ratio, root mean square residual, and Cronbach's alpha all provided evidence for initial support of the hypothesized factor structure. A paired groups correlated t-test with a sub sample (N=52) of the initial subject population provided evidence of reliability (stability) over time. A multivariate Hotellings T2 with individual subjects (N=53) and team subjects (N=53) resulted in significant differences between the two groups for all factors and a TBA total score. This known groups difference test proved the inventory could differentiate between individual and team athletes, providing support for construct validity. Coaches rated players on their level of cohesion and locomotion. Correlation coefficients failed to produce relationships between the coaches rating and the athletes' TBA Inventory score. However, this may have been due to the low number of coach respondents (N=3), or the very source of external validation (the coaches' rating) being inaccurate. The psychometric analysis provided support of the factor structure, along with reasonable validity and strong reliability results. Given the potential of the inventory in team dynamics research, sport scientists are encouraged to further test the TBA model, to develop a more parsimonious fit of the data to the model, inventory refinement, and population generalizability.

description: Because exposure to potentially traumatic events is common (Kessler, Sonnega, Bromet, & Hughes, 1995), the mechanisms through which posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms develop is a critical area of investigation (Ozer, Best, Lipsey, & Weiss, 2003). Among the mechanisms that may predict PTSD symptoms is spiritual struggle, a set of negative religious cognitions related to understanding or responding to stressful events. Although prominent theories emphasize cognitive factors in the development and maintenance of PTSD symptoms, they have not explicitly addressed spiritual struggle. The present prospective study tested the role of spiritual struggle in the development and maintenance of PTSD symptoms following trauma. We assessed exposure to trauma and nontrauma events during the first year of college, spiritual struggle due to the most stressful event, and PTSD symptoms resulting from the index event. Spiritual struggle partially mediated the relationship between trauma and PTSD symptoms. We found interesting that some individual subscales of spiritual struggle (specifically, Punishing God Reappraisal, Reappraisal of God's Powers, and Spiritual Discontent) partially mediated the relationship between trauma and PTSD symptoms; however, reappraisal of the event to evil forces did not relate to PTSD symptoms. These results suggest that spiritual struggle is an important cognitive mechanism for many trauma victims and may have relevance for cognitive therapy for PTSD.

description: In 1985 Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner was the first comet visited by a spacecraft, the International Cometary Explorer (ICE) satellite, several months before the armada of Halley spacecraft had their encounters in 1986. ICE was originally the ISEE-3 satellite, designed for magnetospheric measurements near the Earth, and was diverted via a lunar gravity assist to pass through the plasma tail of the comet. The comet has been observed by the all-sky hydrogen Lyman-alpha Solar Wind Anisotropies (SWAN) camera on the SOlar and Heliospheric Observatory satellite during its last four apparitions in 1998, 2005, 2012 and 2018. This paper compares water production rates calculated from the hydrogen images from the 1998 and 2005 results, published by Combi et al. (2011), with new observations from 2012 and 2018. Unlike some comets that have faded over time, except for 2 outbursts seen in the 2012 results, the activity levels for Comet 21P have not changed consistently over time. A power-law fit to the pre-perihelion water production rate vs. heliocentric distance for all four apparitions gives a result of 3.75x10^28 x r^-0.28+/-0.4, and that for the post-perihelion production rate, discounting 2012 data dominated by outbursts, gives 4.15 x 10^28 x r^-10.2+/-0.9. The production rates are in s^-1 and heliocentric distances are in AU.

description: A recently developed continuous time solver based on an expansion in hybridization about an exactly solved local limit is reformulated in a manner appropriate for general classes of quantum impurity models including spin exchange and pair hopping terms. The utility of the approach is demonstrated via applications to the dynamical mean field theory of the Kondo lattice and two-orbital models. The algorithm can handle low temperatures and strong couplings without encountering a sign problem.

description: Pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) has the potential to produce clean, renewable energy from natural salinity gradients. However, membrane fouling can lead to diminished water flux productivity, thus reducing the extractable energy. This study investigates organic fouling and osmotic backwash cleaning in PRO and the resulting impact on projected power generation. Fabricated thin-film composite membranes were fouled with model river water containing natural organic matter. The water permeation carried foulants from the feed river water into the membrane porous support layer and caused severe water flux decline of ∼46%. Analysis of the water flux behavior revealed three phases in membrane support layer fouling. Initial foulants of the first fouling phase quickly adsorbed at the active-support layer interface and caused a significantly greater increase in hydraulic resistance than the subsequent second and third phase foulants. The water permeability of the fouled membranes was lowered by ∼39%, causing ∼26% decrease in projected power density. A brief, chemical-free osmotic backwash was demonstrated to be effective in removing foulants from the porous support layer, achieving ∼44% recovery in projected power density. The substantial performance recovery after cleaning was attributed to the partial restoration of the membrane water permeability. This study shows that membrane fouling detrimentally impacts energy production, and highlights the potential strategies to mitigate fouling in PRO power generation with natural salinity gradients.

description: This work investigates how a conical singularity can affect the specific heat of systems. A free nonrelativistic particle confined to the lateral surface of a cone -- conical box -- is taken as a toy model. Its specific heat is determined as a function of the deficit angle and the temperature. For a vanishing deficit angle, the specific heat is that of a particle in a flat disk where a characteristic temperature separates quantum and classical behaviors, as usual. By increasing the deficit angle the characteristic temperature increases also, and eventually another characteristic temperature (which does not depend on the deficit angle) arises. When the cone gets sufficiently sharp, at low and intermediate temperatures the azimuthal degree of freedom is suppressed. At low temperatures the specific heat varies discontinuously with the deficit angle. Connections between certain theorems regarding common zeros of the Bessel functions and this discontinuity are reported.

Disasters in the offshore : are regulators learning their lessons?
Creators: name: La'Cassie, Marguerite Helen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Oil exploration and production in the offshore conjures up images of danger, of men wrestling with steel and testing their wits against the potentially hostile sea. The occurrence of major disasters in the offshore, such as the sinking of the Ocean Ranger offshore eastern Canada and the explosion and fire which destroyed the Piper Alpha platform in the North Sea merely reinforces these images. This thesis challenges these images in the context of worker safety and safety regulation in the offshore. It focusses specifically on offshore disasters and the lessons which regulators could and should learn from them in order to formulate offshore safety regulations. It suggests that safety regulation may have been compromised in the early stages of its implementation in order to encourage the oil industry to embark on an expensive exploitation of the offshore. The legacy of this development and the flaws which are inherent in the regulatory process itself -contribute further to imperfect safety systems. These imperfections are illustrated by a consideration of regulatory process and an examination of the reports three committees of enquiry into offshore safety. The first committee considered the offshore safety regime in the United Kingdom (the Burgoyne Report),while the remaining two reports considered offshore safety in the context of two major offshore disasters - the Ocean Ranger Disaster and the Piper Alpha disaster. Each of these reports identified fundamental flaws in their respective regimes. Having identified these flaws and imperfections, the New Zealand offshore safety regime is considered in order to determine to what extent these flaws are present. Finally, the major thrust of this thesis is that adequate offshore safety regimes require fundamental changes in attitudes at all levels of the industry and government. While there is no magical "simple solution" to the problems posed by offshore safety, there are valuable lessons for regulators to learn from offshore disasters which could significantly improve safety in the offshore. Until such time as regulators take note of these lessons, disasters will continue to occur.

description: Neutrino masses are usually described by adding to the Standard Model some SU(2)-singlet fermions that have the Yukawa couplings, as well as some Majorana mass terms. The number of such fields and the scales of their Majorana masses are not known. Several independent observations point to the possibility that some of these singlets may have masses well below the electroweak scale. A sterile neutrino with mass of a few keV can account for cosmological dark matter. The same particle would be emitted anisotropically from a cooling neutron star born in a supernova explosion. This anisotropy can be large enough to explain the observed velocities of pulsars. A lighter sterile neutrino, with mass of the order of eV, is implied by the LSND results; it can have profound implications for cosmology. We review the physics of sterile neutrinos and the roles they may play in astrophysics and cosmology.

description: Major academic publishers need to be able to analyse their vast catalogue of products and select the best items to be marketed in scientific venues. This is a complex exercise that requires characterising with a high precision the topics of thousands of books and matching them with the interests of the relevant communities. In Springer Nature, this task has been traditionally handled manually by publishing editors. However, the rapid growth in the number of scientific publications and the dynamic nature of the Computer Science landscape has made this solution increasingly inefficient. We have addressed this issue by creating Smart Book Recommender (SBR), an ontology-based recommender system developed by The Open University (OU) in collaboration with Springer Nature, which supports their Computer Science editorial team in selecting the products to market at specific venues. SBR recommends books, journals, and conference proceedings relevant to a conference by taking advantage of a semantically enhanced representation of about 27K editorial products. This is based on the Computer Science Ontology, a very large-scale, automatically generated taxonomy of research areas. SBR also allows users to investigate why a certain publication was suggested by the system. It does so by means of an interactive graph view that displays the topic taxonomy of the recommended editorial product and compares it with the topic-centric characterization of the input conference. An evaluation carried out with seven Springer Nature editors and seven OU researchers has confirmed the effectiveness of the solution.

description: This paper deals with numerical solutions to a partial differential equation of fractional order. Generally this type of equation describes a transition from anomalous diffusion to transport processes. From a phenomenological point of view, the equation includes at least two fractional derivatives: spatial and temporal. In this paper we proposed a new numerical scheme for the spatial derivative, the so called Riesz-Feller operator. Moreover, using the finite difference method, we show how to employ this scheme in the numerical solution of fractional partial differential equations. In other words, we considered an initial-boundary value problem in one dimensional space. In the final part of this paper some numerical results and plots of simulations are shown as examples.

description: Identifying the research topics that best describe the scope of a scientific publication is a crucial task for editors, in particular because the quality of these annotations determine how effectively users are able to discover the right content in online libraries. For this reason, Springer Nature, the world's largest academic book publisher, has traditionally entrusted this task to their most expert editors. These editors manually analyse all new books, possibly including hundreds of chapters, and produce a list of the most relevant topics. Hence, this process has traditionally been very expensive, time-consuming, and confined to a few senior editors. For these reasons, back in 2016 we developed Smart Topic Miner (STM), an ontology-driven application that assists the Springer Nature editorial team in annotating the volumes of all books covering conference proceedings in Computer Science. Since then STM has been regularly used by editors in Germany, China, Brazil, India, and Japan, for a total of about 800 volumes per year. Over the past three years the initial prototype has iteratively evolved in response to feedback from the users and evolving requirements. In this paper we present the most recent version of the tool and describe the evolution of the system over the years, the key lessons learnt, and the impact on the Springer Nature workflow. In particular, our solution has drastically reduced the time needed to annotate proceedings and significantly improved their discoverability, resulting in 9.3 million additional downloads. We also present a user study involving 9 editors, which yielded excellent results in term of usability, and report an evaluation of the new topic classifier used by STM, which outperforms previous versions in recall and F-measure.

description: We explore the formulation of non-rational 2D quantum gravity in terms of a chiral CFT on a Riemann surface associated with the target space. The CFT in question is constructed as the collective theory for a matrix chain, which is dual to a statistical height model on dynamical triangulations. The heights are associated with the sheets of the Riemann surface, which represents an infinite branched cover of the spectral plane. We consider two examples of height models: the SOS model and the semi-restricted SOS (SRSOS) model, in which the heights are restricted from below. Both models are described in the continuum limit by theories of 2D quantum gravity with conformal matter, perturbed by a thermal operator (1,3). We give a compact operator expression for the n-loop amplitudes as a collection of target space Feynman rules. The n-point functions of local fields are obtained by shrinking the loops. In particular, we show that the 4-point function of order operators in the SRSOS model coincides with the 4-point function of the ``diagonal'' world sheet CFT studied in [1].

description: We present the systematic spectral analyses of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) during its first ten years of operation. This catalog contains two types of spectra; time-integrated spectral fits and spectral fits at the brightest time bin, from 2297 GRBs, resulting in a compendium of over 18000 spectra. The four different spectral models used for fitting the spectra were selected based on their empirical importance to the shape of many GRBs. We describe in detail our procedure and criteria for the analyses, and present the bulk results in the form of parameter distributions both in the observer frame and in the GRB rest frame. 941 GRBs from the first four years have been re-fitted using the same methodology as that of the 1356 GRBs in years five through ten. The data files containing the complete results are available from the High-Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC).
Self-determination for women
Creators: name: Kimber, Cliona Janet Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The Eighth Amendment to the Irish Constitution elevated the right to life of the foetus to the status of a constitutional right. The implications of this development for Irish women are used in this thesis as a starting point to illustrate the need for a right to self-determination for women as a social group. As a country with a democratic government, and a codified bill of rights, Ireland is squarely within the liberal legal tradition of rights. This background, together with the absolute prohibition on abortion, and the powerful position of the Catholic Church as a reservoir of conservative beliefs, makes Ireland a particularly strong example to illustrate the need for a right to self-determination for women. A constitutional right to self-determination for women as a social group would aim to return to women the power to define and create the institutions and structures of society under which they live, at both the public level of government and the private level of family and the day to day lives of women. This thesis attempts both to delineate the theoretical outlines of this right, and suggest how such a right can be used to engage with law to advance the position of women.

description: We have discovered a partially eclipsing white dwarf, low-mass M dwarf binary (3 hour 54.41 second orbital period), SDSS J143547.87+373338.5, from May 2007 observations at the WIYN telescope. Here we present blue band photometry of three eclipses. Eclipse fitting gives main sequence solutions to the M dwarf companion of $M_S=0.15-0.35 M_{\odot}$ and $R_S=0.17-0.32 R_{\odot}$. Analysis of the SDSS spectrum constrains the M dwarf further to be of type M4-M6 with $M_S=0.11-0.20 M_{\odot}$. Once full radial velocity curves are measured, high precision determinations of the masses and radii of both components will be easily obtained without any knowledge of stellar structure or evolution. ZZ Ceti pulsations from the white dwarf were not found at our 4 mmag detection limit.

description: Using conformal field theory calculations of the energy spectrum, within the XXZ model we investigate effects of the flux insertion and the Umklapp term. We discuss two approaches to the evaluation of the Drude weight, the first corresponding to the linear response theory and the second corresponding to the twisted boson theory with the Umklapp term. Divergences obtained in the context of the former contradict the Bethe ansatz results, with the two approaches coinciding for the free fermion point only. The origin of this discrepancy is in the different order in which the Umklapp term and the flux insertion are treated, where the marginal perturbation should be considered before the irrelevant. We calculate the scaling of the conductivity with system size and temperature in the long-wave limit.

description: Two quantitative tests DIFF1 and DIFF2 for measuring goodness-of-fit between two locally-normalized supernova spectra are presented. Locally-normalized spectra are obtained by dividing a spectrum by the same spectrum smoothed over a wavelength interval relatively large compared to line features, but relatively small compared to continuum features. DIFF1 essentially measures the mean relative difference between the line patterns of locally-normalized spectra and DIFF2 is DIFF1 minimized by a relative logarithmic wavelength shift between the spectra: the shift is effectively an artificial relative Doppler shift. Both DIFF1 and DIFF2 measure the physical similarity of line formation, and thus of supernovae. DIFF1 puts more weight on overall physical similarity of the supernovae than DIFF2 because the DIFF2 shift compensates somewhat for some physical distinction in the supernovae. Both tests are useful in ordering supernovae into empirical groupings for further analysis. We present some examples of locally-normalized spectra for Type IIb supernova SN 1993J with some analysis of these spectra. The UV parts of two of the SN 1993J spectra are HST spectra that have not been published before. We also give an example of fitted locally-normalized spectra and, as an example of the utility of DIFF1 and DIFF2, some preliminary statistical results for hydrogen-deficient core-collapse (HDCC) supernova spectra. This paper makes use of and refers to material to found at the first author's online supernova spectrum database SUSPEND (SUpernovae Spectra PENDing further analysis: see http://www.nhn.ou.edu/~jeffery/astro/sne/spectra/spectra.html)

description: We propose a model to explain finite-size effects in intracellular microrheology observed in experiments. The constrained dynamics of the particles in the intracellular medium, treated as a viscoelastic medium, is described by means of a diffusion equation in which interactions of the particles with the cytoskeleton are modelled by a harmonic force. The model reproduces the observed power-law behavior of the mean-square displacement in which the exponent depends on the ratio between particle-to-cytoskeleton-network sizes.

description: Prompted by concordant upward trends in both the university advancement rate and the unmarried rate for Japanese women, this paper investigates whether the Equal Employment Opportunity Act (EEOA), which was passed in 1985, affected women’s marriage decisions either directly or via their decisions to pursue university education. To this end, we estimate a model that treats education and marriage decisions as jointly determined using longitudinal data for Japanese women. We find strong support for the proposition that the passage of the EEOA increased the deterrent effect of university education on marriage, but only inconclusive evidence that the Act increased the proportion of women with a university education.

description: Background: Patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are at increased risk for adverse outcomes from comorbid medical conditions. Medication non-adherence is a potential mechanism explaining this increased risk. Methods: We examined the association between PTSD and medication adherence in a cross-sectional study of 724 patients recruited from two Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers between 2008 and 2010. PTSD was assessed using the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale. Medication adherence was assessed using a standardized questionnaire. Ordinal logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) for medication non-adherence in patients with versus without PTSD, adjusting for potential confounders. Results: A total of 252 patients (35%) had PTSD. Twelve percent of patients with PTSD reported not taking their medications as prescribed compared to 9% of patients without PTSD (unadjusted OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.37–2.50, P<0.001). Forty-one percent of patients with PTSD compared to 29% of patients without PTSD reported forgetting medications (unadjusted OR 1.90, 95% CI 1.44–2.52, P<0.001). Patients with PTSD were also more likely to report skipping medications (24% versus 13%; unadjusted OR 2.01, 95% CI 1.44–2.82, P<0.001). The association between PTSD and non-adherence remained significant after adjusting for demographics, depression, alcohol use, social support, and medical comorbidities (adjusted OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.03–2.10, P=0.04 for not taking medications as prescribed and 1.95, 95% CI 1.31–2.91, P=0.001 for skipping medications). Conclusions: PTSD was associated with medication non-adherence independent of psychiatric and medical comorbidities. Medication non-adherence may contribute to the increased morbidity and mortality observed in patients with PTSD.

description: In recent decades, large-scale English language proficiency testing and testing research have seen an increased interest in constructed-response essay-writing items (Aschbacher, 1991; Powers, Burstein, Chodorow, Fowles, & Kukich, 2001; Weigle, 2002). The TOEFL iBT, for example, includes two constructed-response writing tasks, one of which is an integrative task requiring the test-taker to write in response to information delivered both aurally and in written form (Educational Testing Service, n.d.). Similarly, the IELTS academic test requires test-takers to write in response to a question that relates to a chart or graph that the test-taker must read and interpret (International English Language Testing System, n.d.). Theoretical justification for the use of such integrative, constructed-response tasks (i.e., tasks which require the test-taker to draw upon information received through several modalities in support of a communicative function) date back to at least the early 1960’s. Carroll (1961, 1972) argued that tests which measure linguistic knowledge alone fail to predict the knowledge and abilities that score users are most likely to be interested in, i.e., prediction of actual use of language knowledge for communicative purposes in specific contexts.

description: We present a simple model which describes elastic response of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to stretching, including the regime of very high force (up to 1000 pN). ssDNA is modelled as a discreet persistent chain, whose ground state is a zigzag rather than a straight line configuration. This mimics the underlying molecular architecture and helps to explain the experimentally observed staturation of the stretching curve at very high force.

description: Although most logistics and freight forwarding organizations, in one way or another, claim to have core values. The engagement of employees is a vast structure that affects almost every part of the company's core environmental values. There is little theoretical knowledge about the relationship between firms and the engagement of employees. Based on research literature, this paper aims to provide a novel approach for insight around employee engagement in a logistics organization by implementing deep natural language processing concepts. The artificial intelligence-enabled solution named Intelligent Pulse (I-Pulse) can evaluate hundreds and thousands of pulse survey comments and provides the actionable insights and gist of employee feedback. I-Pulse allows the stakeholders to think in new ways in their organization, helping them to have a powerful influence on employee engagement, retention, and efficiency. This study is of corresponding interest to researchers and practitioners.

Sum-rules for Raman scattering off strongly correlated electron systems

description: We investigate sum-rules applying to the Raman intensity in a strongly correlated system close to the Mott transition. Quite generally, it can be shown that, provided the frequency integration is performed up to a cutoff smaller than the upper Hubbard band, a sum-rule applies to the non-resonant Raman signal of a doped Mott insulator, resulting in an integrated intensity which is proportional to the doping level. We provide a detailed derivation of this sum-rule for the t-J model, for which the frequency cutoff can be taken to infinity and an unrestricted sum-rule applies. A quantitative analysis of the sum-rule is also presented for the d-wave superconducting phase of the t-J model, using slave boson methods. The case of the Hubbard model is studied in the framework of dynamical mean-field theory, with special attention to the cutoff dependence of the restricted sum-rule, and also to the intermediate coupling regime. The sum-rule investigated here is shown to be consistent with recent experimental data on cuprate superconductors, reporting measurements of Raman scattering intensities on an absolute scale.

description: Existing methods for predicting robotic snap joint assembly cannot predict failures before their occurrence. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a method for predicting error states before the occurence of error, thereby enabling timely recovery. Robotic snap joint assembly requires precise positioning; therefore, even a slight offset between parts can lead to assembly failure. To correctly predict error states, we apply functional principal component analysis (fPCA) to 6D force/torque profiles that are terminated before the occurence of an error. The error state is identified by applying a feature vector to a decision tree, wherein the support vector machine (SVM) is employed at each node. If the estimation accuracy is low, we perform additional probing to more correctly identify the error state. Finally, after identifying the error state, a robot performs the error recovery motion based on the identified error state. Through the experimental results of assembling plastic parts with four snap joints, we show that the error states can be correctly estimated and a robot can recover from the identified error state.

description: An important change with regard to French and German has been established at Harvard. For many years, French A and German A have been required of all candidates for the A.B. degree. In addition to this, there is now to be a special oral examination to precede admission to the Junior class. This new test will make doubly sure that all the students can use French and German freely in literary and scientific courses before the beginning of the studies of the Junior year. A reading, and not a speaking, knowledge is what is to be insisted upon. All who are interested in discovering the truth concerning the French occupation of territory within the limits of the present United States should read the volume by C. W. Alvord: Kaskaskia Records, which is briefly mentioned among our reviews.
