Subjects: infertility; assisted reproduction; law enactment; media; representations

description: The social representation of the infertility coming out from the national newspapers has been explored in relation to the enactment of the Law 40/2004 and the 2005 referendum. All the articles (n=731), published in the last 15 years by the highest circulation Italian newspapers, have been collected in a corpus (token=360345) that underwent a multivariate analysis of textual data. Results show a difficulty in complementing together the mind and the body. The “biologic” is represented as the place of the technical and medical intervention while the “psycho-social” is conceived as the place of the family storytelling of the personal experiences of infertility and the public ethical debate on it. Before the law, newspapers deal with the theme of the family experience probably supporting the law enactment. After the referendum this thematic is dismissed and the theme of infertility as a pathology to treat emerges, bringing back infertility to the medical issue.

Subjects: international students; migration; discursive identity; universities; interculturality

description: International students at universities are considered by the literature both as a “reward” value and as a vulnerable group. This article focuses on the experience of international students enrolled in a large Italian university with the purpose of documenting their studying and living paths and conditions, focusing on the identity construction triggered by the host context. As a result of qualitative and discursive analysis undertaken on (14) in-depth interviews, interpretative repertoires were identified as representing a progressive degradation of the (pre)constituted identity under the label of "international students", revealing blurred, temporary and precarious borders. Moreover, the students’ narratives bring forward a critical perspective on the reception system. Finally, the participants’ identity emerges as an intercultural one and, as such, constructed, negotiated and challenged (Mantovani, 2004) in the encounter / clash with the other. Limits and conclusions of the present study are discussed.

Evidentiality in the Colombian “Diálogos de Paz”: An Analysis of Quotations and Presuppositions in Colombia’s Peace Talks
Creators: name: Prieto-Mendoza, Maria A
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: October 12th, 2012 in Oslo, Norway, marks the official beginning of a peace talk promised to be the end of more than 60 years of war for the country of Colombia. With the slogan “Buscar la paz con justicia social por medio del diálogo” (‘to find peace with social justice through dialogue’), the political entities involved in this talk were the Colombian government and the guerrilla group FARC, e.p., the latter ones considered the perpetrators of countless terrorist attacks in the country. Since the beginning of these peace talks, each party has presented at the beginning of their cycles of talk, a communiqué charged with informing the Colombian people about the negotiations and processes taking place at the table. This study analyzes each individual communiqué as separate language instances, which show that each pragmatic act presented in them, contain a series of language manipulations that allow each media statement to be something more than a simple report of events. Using the Multilayered Model of Context (MMC) (Berlin, 2007; 2011) to conduct a critical discourse analysis, this study observes the relations and dynamics of power present in the communiqués delivered by the Colombian government and FARC-ep to the Colombian public during the entire peace dialogue process. By using the MMC, this study presents, in addition to the analysis of the extrasituational, situational, and interactional contexts, a particular focus on the linguistic context. This last focus analyzes the use of evidentiality as a pragmatic device, which can be found co-occurring within the presence of presuppositions and direct quotations in the communiqués. The employment of evidentiality highlights the level of control that the different sides attempted to exert over the public, not only in what was said but also over the context (van Dijk, 2001a). Moreover, the use of presuppositions and direct quotations highlight the way each political entity wanted to be perceived by its audience, as well as the ideological message they wanted to transmit.

description: The article aims to highlight the important role played by general Psychology in the scientific study of dreams. According to a historical perspective, the authors analyze the dream studies between 1872 and 1940 in the national and international context and classified in PsycInfo. The method used integrates the Bottom-Up perspective with the Top-Down: starting from the Content Analysis on the abstracts of the selected works, the data obtained support the elaboration of the historiographical hypothesis. The research conducted by the authors at the Laboratorio di Storia della Psicologia del Dipartimento di Psicologia dinamica e clinica (Sapienza Università di Roma) reveals how the General Psychology has favored the structuring of a scientific and specifically psychological framework in the study of the dream phenomenon laying the foundation for the more advanced contemporary research.

description: Videogaming is an increasingly popular activity among teenagers and adults around the world. The present study aims to adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Assessment of Internet and Computer Game Addiction Scale (AICAs-Ita), a scale recently developed and validated in Germany. Three separate studies were conducted: the first to confirm the factorial structure of the scale, the second to evaluate the validity of the construct, and the third to assess whether AICAs-Ita scores can predict levels of depression and anxiety among gamers. To this end, three different samples of Italian adolescents were involved (aged between 14 and 19) who were asked to complete the AICAs-Ita, in addition to the GAMS and BIS-11 scales for study 2, and CESD and STAY for study 3. The results underlined the psychometric quality of AICAs-Ita in terms of reliability and validity. The Italian version of the scale therefore appears to be a useful tool for assessing video game addiction that can be fruitfully used in this growing field of research, to define populations of individuals at potential risk of dependence on new technologies.

description: Teachers’ behaviors toward children seem to influence their social reputation among peers. Aim of this work is to investigate the relation between teachers’ feedback and children sociometrical status, using observations. Participants to the study were 54 children (40 boys), mean age 8 years and 3 months and their teachers. Peer nominations were administrated to children in order to categorize them in popular, rejected and average. Through an observative checklist teachers’ feedback have been classified as positive, negative, corrective or neutral. Results showed that teachers used positive feedback more than other kinds of feedback. Moreover they used negative feedback with rejected children more than with popular children. In conclusion the association between teachers behaviors toward pupils and children social reputation seems to be confirmed.

description: Drawing on the classic model of balanced affect, the Francis Burnout Inventory (FBI) conceptualises good work-related psychological health among clergy in terms of negative affect being balanced by positive affect. This study set out to examine the question regarding the prevalence and correlates of burnout among a sample of 129 Catholic priests and 157 religious sisters in Italy, who completed the Francis Burnout Inventory alongside the Short Dark Triad and the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale. Correlation coefficient analysis revealed that a higher Machiavellianism and Psychopathy score correlated with greater Emotional Exhaustion in Ministry, while higher Satisfaction in Ministry score was related to greater Narcissism and Emotional Intelligence. Multiple regression analyses were used to determine the best predictors of distress and burnout. Machiavellianism and Psychopathy predicted Emotional Exhaustion in Ministry; Emotional Intelligence predicted Satisfaction in Ministry. The implications of these findings are discussed to prevent burnout in pastoral ministry.d age-groups.

description: The aims of the study were to investigate factor structure and reliability of the Alexithymia Questionnaire for Children (AQC), originally validated by Rieffe et al. (2006), on an Italian population. A total sample of 1265 participants, ranging in age from 8 to 14 years, filled in the Italian version of the AQC and 160 children also completed the Youth Self Report (YSR), during school time. A sub-sample (N = 60) was retested after eight weeks for an assessment of the measure’s stability. The three-factor model reported good fit indices on the total sample, even though not all items loading on the Externally Oriented Thinking (EOT) factor appeared statistically relevant. Moreover, the model was only partially invariant across gender and age groups: analysis indicated developmental gender-specific differences on Difficulty Identifying Feelings (DIF) and EOT factors. Significant correlations were found between AQC scores and the YSR internalizing and externalizing symptomatology scales. In conclusion, the three-factor model was confirmed and some evidence emerged concerning its generalization to gender and age-groups.

Subjects: subject: anomaly detection
subject: machine learning
subject: classification
subject: network traffic analysis

description: Machine learning is getting increasing importance and is strongly promotedby the rise of computational power. A paramount application of machinelearning is anomaly detection, sometimes understood as one-class classification,i.e., a binary classification problem in which there is a significantimbalance between the minority class (anomalies/outliers) and the majorityclass (normal/inlier). Real-life cases of such scenarios are, for example, fraud detection or attack detection in network communications. In this work, we study if the assumption is correct that wrongly classified instances are closerto decision boundaries and if this information can help to refine classificationperformances. We conducted experiments on network traffic and onother imbalanced datasets and found that, as a general rule, classificationalgorithms are able to leverage class membership scores to improve the “averageprecision” metric, which is suitable for evaluating imbalanced cases.Hence, class membership scores—defined based on distances to classificationthresholds—help to improve classification while keeping the model explainabilityand the algorithm complexity simple.

description: A suboptimal active disturbance rejection controller (S-ADRC) is proposed for second-order systems with unknown time-varying nonlinear dynamics. The output-feedback controller guarantees a global convergence to the vicinity of an optimal solution by means of dynamic control gains, based on the estimated main and extended state variables obtained through a high-gain observer. Three numerical examples compare the performance of the proposed control scheme applied to linear and nonlinear systems with that of a fixed-gain conventional ADRC as well as several model-based optimal and suboptimal controllers.

description: The article analyzes the narratives produced within a support group for cancer patients and family members conducted with the analytical psychodrama device. On the basis of observational reports of the meetings, it is described how this 'support' is configured and realized in the sequential unfolding of the narratives produced by the group members and the director. The analysis revealed the polyphonic narrative structure of the device highlighting how the narratives of the director mark the passages, the turning points in the narrative sequence. By examining some dimensions of the narratives (topics, voices, temporality), we realize how specific configurations and narrative sequences play two functions at the same time: building both the agency and the subjectivation of the speaker and the belonging to a wider group (family, humanity, group of patients). These trajectories of action, presented in the literature as distinct and alternative, appear to be pursued simultaneously in the same narrative sequence. Application potentials, possible developments and limitations of the present study are discussed in conclusion.

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: In this paper, we develop and analyze numerical methods for high dimensional Fokker-Planck equations by leveraging generative models from deep learning. Our starting point is a formulation of the Fokker-Planck equation as a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) on finite-dimensional parameter space with the parameters inherited from generative models such as normalizing flows. We call such ODEs neural parametric Fokker-Planck equations. The fact that the Fokker-Planck equation can be viewed as the $L^2$-Wasserstein gradient flow of Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence allows us to derive the ODEs as the constrained $L^2$-Wasserstein gradient flow of KL divergence on the set of probability densities generated by neural networks. For numerical computation, we design a variational semi-implicit scheme for the time discretization of the proposed ODE. Such an algorithm is sampling-based, which can readily handle the Fokker-Planck equations in higher dimensional spaces. Moreover, we also establish bounds for the asymptotic convergence analysis of the neural parametric Fokker-Planck equation as well as the error analysis for both the continuous and discrete versions. Several numerical examples are provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithms and analysis.

Replicated Defects in Stamping A Multidimensional Approach with Motivation Theory and Signal Detection
Creators: name: Lundquist, Nicholas Philip
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Due to the nature of automated machinery, a fault in the stamping presses results in a replicated defect where each consecutive part is produced defective. A stamping company in Illinois, possessing six stamping machines is the focus of this intervention. This company produces stamped parts used in consumer vehicles. One such stamped part is a friction shoe similar to that present in multiple Toyota vehicles. These friction shoes are used in applying force between a pad and the traveling portion of the pedal assembly to cause friction. This part is made of a type of spring steel within the SAE 1XXX series of carbon steels. Due to a replicated defect of the friction shoe, the accelerator pedal of the affected vehicles became stuck when depressed. The defective friction shoe lead to the deaths of multiple vehicle owners and ultimately resulted in over 2 million vehicles being recalled and cost Toyota over 1 billion dollars. While this part is not produced at the focus company, similar parts are produced at the facility. The company has on average 21 uncontrolled replicated defects annually, resulting in about 2.3% of all parts produced to be defective due to replicated defects. The number of uncontrolled replicated defects must be reduced. As the level of the worker’s attention increases, the number of undetected replicated defects decreases. Employees monitoring presses are the main factor in replicated defect detection. Signal detection theory describes the effectiveness of operators detecting defects, dictated by the worker’s level of attention. The state of attention was determined by work sampling. 79% of the time, workers are in a low attention state. Low attention is due to low worker motivation. From McGregor’s motivation theory X and Y, it was observed theory X was in place. Managers employing theory X assume that employees dislike work and are incompetent. As a result, workers dislike their work and will avoid responsibility. By contrast, managers employing theory Y assume that employees take pride in their work and are willing to take initiative and perform difficult tasks if they are involved in decision-making. To increase worker motivation, McGregor’s theory Y was utilized. The intervention involved the replacement of the previous quality manager with a new manager. The operators were involved in decision-making and treated as competent. Following the intervention, now only 37% of the time the workers were unable to detect defects. Only one uncontrolled replicated defect occurred in the following quarter, reducing the expected annual impact to about $3,000, a 93% improvement. Implementing theory Y improved worker morale which lead to an increase in operator attention. The number of undetected replicated defects was reduced.

description: Achieving optical operation of logic elements, especially those that involve 2D layers, can open the long sought era of optical computing. However, the efficient optical modulation of the electronic properties of 2D materials including memory effect is currently missing. Here we report a fully optical control of the conductivity of a graphene with write/erase option yet under ultralow optical fluence. The competition between light-induced charge generation in ferroelectric-photovoltaic substrate with subsequent relaxation processes provides the selective photocarrier trapping control affecting the doping of 2D overlayer. These findings open the road to photonic control of 2D devices for all -optical modulators and a variety of all-optical logic circuits, memories and field-effect transistors.

description: The aim of the study was to investigate the association between trait and state attachment features and involvement in a couple-relationship. Eighty-four participants of different nationalities completed Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ), Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R), State Adult Attachment Measure (SAAM) and a personal questionnaire focused on involvement and amount of time spent in a couple-relationship. Results of the study showed that trait attachment features predicted involvement in a close relationship and the presence of a couple relationship predicted attachment state dimensions. Correlation analyses showed that the involvement in couple relationship was associated to CTQ Physical Neglect and SAAM Anxiety while participants without a partner had higher scores on CTQ Emotional Abuse, ECRR Avoidance and SAAM Avoidance. Regression analyses showed that trait attachment features predicted time spent in a close relationship, while time spent in relationship predicted state attachment dimensions. Moreover, regression analysis showed that SAAM Security was predicted by ECR-R scales only in the sample of participants involved in a couple relationship.

description: This dissertation aims to provide flexible missing data models and robust methods for handling missing data. Two methods are proposed, developed and studied. First, a mixture missing data mechanisms is developed where we assume flexible missing data assumptions at individual level. This proposed model can greatly reduce bias when the proportions of missing mechanisms are correctly specified and demonstrates strong performance even when the proportions of missing mechanisms are misspecified. Extensive simulation studies are conducted to assess the proposed method. We examine the method for cross-sectional type data as well as longitudinal type data. We also consider non-parametric regression for potential nonlinear relationships between the outcome and covariates. We found mixture missing mechanisms can cause unstable estimates when assuming missing not at random (MNAR), while stable and low bias estimates are seen if proper mixture mechanisms are assumed. Other scenarios including under-fitting/over-fitting and intensity of missingness in data generating model are also assessed in the simulation. Second, a missing data analysis often utilizes an outcome model and a missingness model. The well-known doubly robustness property provides asymptotic protection against misspecification of one of these two models. Little and An (2004), Zhang and Little (2009) and others proposed penalized spline of propensity prediction (PSPP) method that provides double robustness for predicting marginal and conditional means under missing at random (MAR). We develop multiple penalized spline of propensity prediction (mPSPP) method which incorporates multiple propensity scores models. We establish that mPSPP is robust against propensity score misspecification. We also develop stratified mPSPP that provides multiple robustness for marginal and conditional means. This approach uses regularization when a large number of propensity score models are included in the prediction model. We assess performance of the proposed mPSPP methodology in both non-regularized and regularized settings in extensive numerical studies. The PArTNER study is presented as a real data example and both proposed methods are applied to the study to show their applicability. Other standard missing data methods are also included and compared in the real data example.

description: Modern text classification models are susceptible to adversarial examples, perturbed versions of the original text indiscernible by humans which get misclassified by the model. Recent works in NLP use rule-based synonym replacement strategies to generate adversarial examples. These strategies can lead to out-of-context and unnaturally complex token replacements, which are easily identifiable by humans. We present BAE, a black box attack for generating adversarial examples using contextual perturbations from a BERT masked language model. BAE replaces and inserts tokens in the original text by masking a portion of the text and leveraging the BERT-MLM to generate alternatives for the masked tokens. Through automatic and human evaluations, we show that BAE performs a stronger attack, in addition to generating adversarial examples with improved grammaticality and semantic coherence as compared to prior work.

description: Background: Cell-free DNA screening (cfDNA), also referred to as non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS), is utilized to screen for fetal chromosomal aneuploidies during pregnancy, including sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs). All patients within our center are offered diagnostic testing following a positive NIPS for an SCA, but not all patients pursue this testing. Objectives: The primary objective of our study is to understand how often patients undergo confirmatory diagnostic testing when NIPS is positive for an SCA and the outcomes. We also describe the outcomes of cases where patients had a normal NIPS result, however the predicted fetal sex is discrepant from the fetal sex by ultrasound. Methods: This is a retrospective chart review of patients with an abnormal NIPS for SCA or discrepant fetal sex at a single academic medical center over a period of eight years. Results: Fifty-six patients had a positive or inconclusive NIPS for SCA and 64.3% pursued confirmatory testing either via prenatal (19 patients) or postnatal (17 patients) diagnostic testing. For the cases (36/56) where confirmatory diagnostic information was available, an SCA was confirmed in 44.4%. A maternal SCA was discovered to be the cause of a positive NIPS in two cases. The positive predictive value (PPV) of NIPS for all SCAs, Turner, triple X, Klinefelter, Jacobs, and inconclusive results were 41.7%, 27.8%, 50%, 100%, 100%, and 0%, respectively. Nine patients had a negative NIPS, however the fetal sex was discrepant by ultrasound. In 3/9 cases, this lead to a fetal ascertainment of a disorder of sexual development (DSD), which would not have been possible without the NIPS result. Conclusion: Only a third of patients who screen positive for an SCA pursued confirmatory prenatal diagnostic testing. Another third of patients did have postnatal confirmatory testing but a third were lost to follow-up or no testing was completed. In patients where the fetal sex predicted via NIPS is discrepant from the ultrasound predicted sex, a third of our patients had a disorder of sexual development. We propose a standardized protocol for post-test counseling for this patient population.

description: The clinical need for vascular grafts is associated with cardiovascular diseases frequently leading to fatal outcomes. Artificial vessels based on bioresorbable polymers can replace the damaged vascular tissue or create a bypass path for blood flow while stimulating regeneration of a blood vessel in situ. However, the problem of proper conditions for the cells to grow on the vascular graft from the adventitia while maintaining its mechanical integrity of the luminal surface remains a challenge. In this work, we propose a two-stage technology for processing electrospun vascular graft from polycaprolactone, which consists of plasma treatment and subsequent immobilization of hyaluronic acid on its surface producing thin double-sided graft with one hydrophilic and one hydrophobic side. Plasma modification activates the polymer surfaces and produces a thin layer for linker-free immobilization of bioactive molecules, thereby producing materials with unique properties. The proposed modification does not affect the morphology or mechanical properties of the graft and improves cell adhesion. The proposed approach can potentially be used for various biodegradable polymers such as polylactic acid, polyglycolide, and their copolymers and blends, with a hydrophilic inner surface and a hydrophobic outer surface.

description: The present study analyzed the playing skills in a group of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The complexity of the play was analyzed in terms of functional and symbolic activity within two contexts: individual play and interaction with the parent. Ten parent-child dyads participated in the research. All children presented a diagnosis of ASD according to the DSM-5. For each parentchild dyad a 10-minute videotaped observation session was performed including the individual play context and the interactive play context. The results highlighted a prevalence of functional play with respect to the symbolic play, which increases in the context of interaction with the parent. The data are discussed in terms of implications in considering the role of the relational aspects within an intervention program. Keywords: Autism Spectrum Disorder; symbolic play; functional play; parent-child interaction.
