subject: Internet
subject: Uso

description: Esta tesis intenta examinar la presencia del ladino en el ciberespacio a través de dos preguntas primarias: ¿cómo está presente el judeoespañol en el Internet y cuál es el efecto de éste sobre la lengua? Pude evaluar cómo aparece el ladino en el ciberespacio por medio de una búsqueda extensa de portales que lo utilizan como medio de comunicación. Luego organicé los portales que encontré e hice una exposición sobre ellos. Para investigar cuál es el efecto del Internet en la lengua, hice una encuesta cuyo propósito era buscar el tipo y la frecuencia del uso del judeoespañol en Internet por los que lo utilizaban para comunicarse. Además, estudié cuidadosamente las ideas del sociolingüista Joshua Fishman y concluí que su Escala Intergeneracional de Disrupción presenta un método efectivo para entender qué hacer para la revitalización del judeoespañol. En esta escala hay ocho etapas que, idealmente, un movimiento de revitalización de una lengua en peligro de extinción debe cumplir para poder restablecerse firmemente en la sociedad. La etapa 1 es la etapa más alta a que debe aspirar la lengua revitalizada. En esta etapa la lengua habrá recobrado todos los contextos de uso más importantes: la educación, el trabajo, las fuentes de comunicación y las funciones del gobierno. Debido al escaso número de parlantes que todavía dominan el ladino, concluí que un movimiento para revitalizar el judeoespañol debe empezar en los rangos más bajos de la escala: la etapa 8, donde el movimiento intenta reconstruir la lengua y enseñarla a los adultos interesados en ella, y la etapa 7, donde los adultos participan en un intercambio cultural empleando la lengua en cuestión. Después de alcanzar suficientemente las etapas 8 y 7, será necesario poner más énfasis en el fulcro de la Escala, etapa 6, cuyo centro es transmitir la lengua a los jóvenes, es decir, de una generación a otra. La exposición y la encuesta revelaron que la presencia del ladino en el Internet es extensa y el uso de éste por los parlantes del ladino es vital para el mantenimiento y archivo de la lengua. También concluí que, aunque una comunidad virtual puede ser una herramienta imprescindible para un movimiento de revitalización, no parece ser capaz de reemplazar lo esencial para la revitalización: una comunidad de carne y hueso que transmite la lengua de una generación a otra.
Advances in model-based reinforcement learning for adaptive optics control
Creators: name: Nousiainen, Jalo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: adaptive optics

description: One of the prime science cases of the next generations of high contrast imaging instruments on ground-based telescopes is the direct imaging of potentially habitable exoplanets. In order to reach the high contrast needed, the instruments are equipped an extreme adaptive optics (XAO) systems. The XAO systems will control thousands of actuators from kilohertz to several kilohertz at a framerate. Most of the habitable exoplanets are located at small angular separation from the host star, where the XAO control might be the limiting factor in the contrast.

 An up-and-coming field of research aimed at improving AO control methods is the application of fully data-driven control
 methods such as Reinforcement learning (RL). RL is an active branch of machine learning that aims to learn a control task via interaction with the environment and hence can be seen as an automated approach for AO control. In particular, model-based reinforcement learning (MBRL) has been shown to cope with both temporal and misregistration errors. Moreover, MBRL is shown to learn continuously on timescales of some seconds and automatically adjust to changing conditions.

 This work shows advances in the practical implementation of MBRL in a lab setup and simulation environments.

description: Online publications that aggregate content from a wide variety of sources have become increasingly valuable to readers and publishers. The academy, however, is still unsure how to efficiently identify, collect, survey, evaluate, and redistribute the valuable scholarly writing published both formally and informally on the open web. Fortunately, some scholarly communities are developing methods to draw attention to upcoming work in their fields. This report outlines the current state of the aggregation, curation, evaluation, and distribution of scholarship on the open web. We describe the primary types of websites where open collections of scholarly work can be found, specifically repositories, aggregators, curated content, and forums for post-publication review. We suggest an eight-point rubric for analyzing similar sources of web-published scholarship. Finally, we offer an annotated bibliography of outlets for scholarly communication on the open web.

Floquet valley Hall edge solitons

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: Pattern Formation and Solitons (nlin.PS)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We introduce traveling Floquet valley Hall edge solitons in a genuinely continuous system consisting of a waveguide array with a dynamically varying domain wall between two honeycomb structures exhibiting broken inversion symmetry. Inversion symmetry in our system is broken due to periodic and out-of-phase longitudinal modulation of the refractive index applied to the constituent sublattices of the honeycomb structure. By combining two honeycomb arrays with different initial phases of refractive index modulation we create a dynamically changing domain wall that supports localized linear Floquet edge states despite the fact that on average two sublattices in each honeycomb structure forming the domain wall have the same refractive index. In the presence of focusing nonlinearity, bright or dark Floquet edge solitons may bifurcate from such linear Floquet edge states. We numerically identified a family of these solitons and compared them with the results obtained from the analytical approach, which involved averaging over one longitudinal period in the evolution coordinate. These solitons exhibit localization in both spatial directions - along the interface due to nonlinear self-action and across the interface as the edge states - that allows them to travel along the domain wall over long distances without noticeable shape variations.

description: The appearance of testicular oocytes (TO) in wild fish populations has received considerable attention in the scientific literature and public media. Current methods to quantify TO are lethal; instead, a non-lethal alternative was examined. Laparoscopic insertion into the genital pore allowed internal visualization of the gonad and detection of TO by collecting five testis biopsies in smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu and largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides. Overall, biopsies quantified similar levels of TO detection and severity to conventional transverse sectioning with less than 10% mortality. Suitability of surgical anesthetics, tricaine methanesulfonate and electronarcosis were examined in laboratory and field applications. Electronarcosis had the added benefit of rapid sex identification and immediate release of female fish with minimal trauma, representing significant benefits when sampling small or compromised populations. Laparoscopy may be useful for monitoring the prevalence and severity of TO in these fish species when lethal sampling is not a desired outcome.
title: Student-oriented Teaching: Measuring Self-efficacy in Relation to Teaching Goals and Professional Development
Creators: name: Kilday, Jessica
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Teacher self-efficacy
subject: Professional development
subject: Motivation
subject: Achievement goals

description: The overall purpose of this research was to examine teacher self-efficacy and how it relates to teachers’ motivational beliefs in the context of a professional development program for social studies. Specifically, the study investigates: (1) the relationship between teachers’ student-oriented teaching self-efficacy (SE-SOT) and their selfefficacy for motivation and engagement, (2) the predictive validity of teachers’ studentoriented teaching self-efficacy to their goal orientations, and (3) differences in teacher self-efficacy associated with the completion of a Teaching American History professional development cohort. From a sample of 144 in-service social studies teachers ranging in years of experience and grade-level, scales measuring teachers’ self-efficacy and achievement goals for teaching were used to examine patterns within the data. Principal axis factor analysis procedures revealed only one underlying construct for teachers’ selfefficacy for student-oriented teaching, which was significantly related to existing teacher self-efficacy measures and predicted teachers’ mastery, relational, and work-avoidance teaching goals. There were no significant mean differences related to completion of professional development between two groups of teachers, but teachers with more experience reported significantly higher levels of student-oriented teaching self-efficacy. Additionally, teachers at mid-career were more varied in their levels of SE-SOT, with greater variance reported among teachers who had not completed the professional development. The results affirm the need to persist in the development of teacher selfefficacy research more specifically among career teachers. Limitations and educational implications are also discussed.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024
Subjects: Aggressiveness, Argumentativeness, Campaign, CDA, Communication, Discursive Constructions, GAM, Nigeria, Social Psychology.

description: Abstract

This work examines the concept of verbal aggressiveness as a discursive feature of interactional practice in political communication. Drawing from the discursive traditions of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), and General Aggression Model the paper engages qualitative-descriptive approach and content analysis method as analytic framework. The data is elicited from specific political contexts produced in Nigeria within a specific period leading up to 2023 general elections. The data analysis establish a number of empirical facts, notably: (i) discursive constructions of verbal aggressiveness as fill-in-the-argumentative-gap strategy in political communication underscore the dynamics of social power abuse, and  dominance that characterise differential power relations; (ii) the identified socio-psychological triggers for destructive trait of aggressive communication are intended to attack self-concepts of real or imagined political adversaries; (iii) the multiple social functions of verbal aggressiveness suffice to define the discursive construction and maintenance of intra and intergroup relations.

description: This thesis explores the uncertain nature of representation and focuses on the precious failures of language and memory. In doing so, remembered narratives of a young-adult speaker are encountered as they’re confronted with words. It’s during that state of fitting words to an experience when a representation of the memory must prevail despite its complete otherness. A sense of otherness further complicated in this thesis by the work of ekphrasis, the representation of a representation of a representation. Thus, this thesis too attempts to investigate generally, yet specifically, the state of “being,” the subjectivity of color, and the necessity of light.

description: To develop a predictive model for assessing massive hemorrhage risk during dilatation and curettage (D&C) after focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS) in Type 2 cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) patients. A retrospective analysis of 405 Type 2 CSP patients treated at Hunan Maternal and Child Health Hospital (2018–2023) was conducted. Multivariable logistic regression identified independent risk factors, and a nomogram was constructed. Model performance was evaluated using AUC, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Ten-fold cross-validation was performed, and external validation was conducted on 327 patients. Independent risk factors included gestational sac maximum diameter (OR 1.11, 95% CI: [1.07–1.15], p < 0.001), GS blood flow US grade 3 (OR 9.96, 95% CI: [2.65–40.10], p < 0.001), and FUAS-curette time >24 h (OR 17.57, 95% CI: [3.88–84.48], p < 0.001). C-scar thickness and HCG levels were also included in the model as clinically significant factors. The model showed high discriminative ability (AUC 0.910, 95% CI: 0.867–0.953) and was validated through 10-fold cross-validation (mean AUC 0.838). External validation confirmed its robustness (AUC 0.812, 95% CI: 0.742–0.881). Calibration curves and DCA confirmed its accuracy and clinical utility. The predictive model effectively assesses hemorrhage risk in Type 2 CSP patients post-FUAS, offering valuable clinical utility.
Contested Play and Clean Water: McMillan Park, Race, and the Built Environment in Washington, D.C., 1900-1941

description: This study focuses on the intersection of the politics and culture of open public space with race relations in the United States from 1900 to 1941. The history of McMillan Park in Washington, D.C. serves as a lens to examine these themes. Ultimately, the park’s history, as documented in newspapers, interviews, reports, and photographs, reveals how white residents attempted to protect their dominance in a racial hierarchy through the control of both the physical and cultural elements of public recreation space. White use of discrimination through seemingly neutral desires to protect health, safety, and property values, establishes a congruence with their defense of residential property. Without similar access to legal methods, African Americans acted through direct action in gaps of governmental control. Their use of this space demonstrates how African-American residents of Washington and the United States contested their race, recreation, and spatial privileges in the pre-World War II era.
The 'Other Room' Metaphor as A Linguistic Marker of Sexism and Gender-Based Violence
Creators: name: Ebere Celina Krisagbedo

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

This paper examines the metaphorical entailments of ‘other room’ remark of former President Muhammadu Buhari (PMB) using the theoretical insights of Conceptual Metaphor Theory in examining the data elicited from different speeches of Mrs. Aisha Buhari and PMB. The findings show metaphor as a dominant trope that offers a window for social labeling practices and construction of gendered identities and identifiable sexist connotations. From the perspective of overt sexism, it becomes clear that ‘kitchen’, ‘living-room’ and ‘other room’ instantiate gendered metaphorical expressions, which actually represent intimate partner violence as an aspect of gender-based violence that relegate women in our typical patriarchal society. Given the deleterious implications of sexism and gender-based violence for all-inclusive human development and economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa, there should be a rethink in the domains of language use and patriarchal ideology in a manner that would narrow gender gap and bolster African feminism, which ai an advocacy for women’s rights over their lives, bodies, and decisions.
Data-Driven Wildfire Propagation Modeling with FARSITE-EnKF

description: The goal of this study is to provide a framework for future researchers to understand and use the FARSITE wildfire-forecasting model with data assimilation. Current wildfire models lack the ability to provide accurate prediction of fire front position faster than real-time. When FARSITE is coupled with a recursive ensemble filter, the data assimilation forecast method improves. The scope includes an explanation of the standalone FARSITE application, technical details on FARSITE integration with a parallel program coupler called OpenPALM, and a model demonstration of the FARSITE-Ensemble Kalman Filter software using the FireFlux I experiment by Craig Clements. The results show that the fire front forecast is improved with the proposed data-driven methodology than with the standalone FARSITE model.
Changes in the community structure of urban and rural forest patches in Baltimore from 1998 to 2015

description: Urban forests are often highly fragmented with many exotic species. Altered disturbance regimes and environmental pollutants influence urban forest vegetation. One of the best ways to understand the impacts of land-use on forest composition is through long-term research. In 1998, the Baltimore Ecosystem Study established eight forest plots to investigate the impacts of urbanization on natural ecosystems. Four plots were located in urban forest patches and four were located in rural forests. In 2015, I revisited these plots to measure abundances and quantify change in forest composition, diversity, and structure. Sapling, shrub, and seedling abundance were reduced in the rural plots. Alpha diversity and turnover was lower in the rural plots. Beta diversity was reduced in the rural plots. The structure of the urban plots was mostly unchanged, except for a highly reduced sapling layer. Beta diversity in the urban plots was consistent across surveys due to high species turnover.

description: In the 20th century, German education repeatedly transformed as the occupying Americans, Soviets, and western-dominated reunification governments used their control of the German secondary education system to create new definitions of what it meant to be German. In each case, the dominant political force established the paradigm for a new generation of Germans. The victors altered the German education system to ensure that their versions of history would be the prevailing narrative. In the American Occupation Zones from 1945-1949, this meant democratic initiatives; for the Soviet Zone in those same years, Marxist-Leninist pedagogy; and for the Bundesrepublik after reunification, integrated East and West German narratives. In practice, this meant succeeding generations of German students learned very different versions of history depending on the temporal and geographic space they inhabited, as each new prevailing regime supplanted the previous version of “Germanness” with its own.

description: In this study, I experimentally analyzed the performance of a commercial semi-welded plate type heat exchanger (PHE) for use with ammonia systems.  I determined performance parameters such as overall heat transfer coefficient, capacity, and pressure drop of the semi-welded PHE.  This was analyzed by varying different parameters which demonstrated changes in overall heat transfer coefficient, capacity, and pressure drop.  Both water and ammonia flow rates to the semi-welded PHE were varied independently, and analyzed in order to understand how changes in flow rates affected performance.  Inlet water temperature was also varied, in order to understand how raising condenser water inlet temperature would affect performance.  Finally, pressure drop was monitored to better understand the performance limitations of the semi-welded PHE.  Testing of the semi-welded will give insight as to the performance of the semi-welded PHE in a potential ocean thermal energy conversion system, and whether the semi-welded PHE is a viable choice for use as an ammonia condenser.

description: Green roofs are a maturing application of best management practices for

controlling urban stormwater runoff. The majority of green roofs are planted with

drought resistant, higher plant species, such as the genus Sedum. However, other plant

varieties, such as mosses, may be equally applicable. Residential roofs and natural

terrestrial communities were sampled in both Maryland and Tennessee to determine moss

community structure and species water composition. This served as a natural analog for

potential green roof moss communities. During sampling, 21 species of moss were

identified throughout the 37 total sites. The average percent moss cover and water

composition across all roof sites was 40.7% and 38.6%, respectively and across all

natural sites, 76.7% and 47.7%, respectively. Additional maximum water holding

capacity procedures were completed on sedum and 19 of the 21 sampled moss species to

assess their individual potential for stormwater absorption. Sedum species on average

held 166% of their biomass in water, while moss species held 732%. The results of this

study are used as a basis to propose moss species that will improve green roof

performance.

description: Post translational modification of proteins is a critical requirement that regulates function. Among the diverse kinds of protein post translational modifications, phosphorylation plays essential roles in protein folding, protein:protein interactions, signal transduction, intracellular localization, transcription regulation, cell cycle progression, survival and apoptosis. Protein phosphorylation is also essential for many intracellular pathogens to establish a productive infection cycle. Preservation of protein phosphorylation moieties in pathogens in a manner that mirrors the host components underscores the co-evolutionary trajectory of pathogens and hosts, and sheds light on how successful pathogens have usurped, either in part or as a whole, the host enzymatic machinery. Phosphorylation of viral proteins for many acute RNA viruses including Flaviviruses and Alphaviruses has been demonstrated to be critical for protein functionality. This review focuses on phosphorylation modifications that have been documented to occur on viral proteins with emphasis on acutely infectious, single stranded RNA viruses. The review additionally explores the possibility of repurposing Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved inhibitors as antivirals for the treatment of acute RNA viral infections.

description: Ctenophores are marine planktonic predators that play pivotal roles in ocean ecosystems, yet their diversity remains understudied in many regions. This study provides the first comprehensive inventory of ctenophore species recorded from Cuban waters within the nation’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and a comparison of Cuban ctenophore assemblages with those of other Atlantic regions. Through extensive literature reviews, database mining, and incorporation of community science data, a total of 14 ctenophore species across two classes, five orders, and seven families were documented. The tentaculate class was dominant, represented by eleven species, while only three species belonged to the nude class. The geographic distribution of species occurring in Cuban waters ranged from widespread like Mnemiopsis leidyi to more restricted species like Ocyropsis maculata and Eurhamphaea sp. Despite limited historical sampling, the data show that Cuba’s ctenophore richness is similar to that of adjacent regions like Mexico and Brazil and, therefore, among the highest in the Atlantic Ocean. A negative relationship between ctenophore species richness and latitude was detected across the Atlantic basin. This checklist establishes a baseline for further investigating ctenophore ecology and biogeography and highlights the need for continued biodiversity monitoring to inform conservation planning in Cuban marine ecosystems.

description: Traditionally, authenticated encryption was achieved by using two seperate algorithms for encryption and authentication. Recently, modes that combine encryption and authentication together are being proposed. This feature is especially beneficial in case of hardware implementations, as it allows for a substantial decrease in the circuit area and power compared to traditional schemes. In this thesis, we first characterize candidates of the Competition for Authenticated Encryption: Security, Applicability, and Robustness (CAESAR). Then we discuss light-weight candidates from the round 1 submissions namely ACORN, SILC (SImple Lightweight CFB) and Joltik. We first implement the full width designs of these candidates targeting Xilinx Spartan-6 and Artix-7 FPGAs. Later, we optimize these designs for low-area applications. Lastly, we compare the results of the implementations with other published results.

description: Fatigue damage in the connections of single mast arm signal support structures is one of the primary safety concerns because collapse could result from fatigue induced cracking. This type of cantilever signal support structures typically has very light damping and excessively large wind-induced vibration have been observed. Major changes related to fatigue design were made in the 2001 AASHTO LRFD Specification for Structural Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaries, and Traffic Signals and supplemental damping devices have been shown to be promising in reducing the vibration response and thus fatigue load demand on mast arm signal support structures. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and optimal use of one type of damping devices termed tuned mass damper (TMD) in vibration response mitigation. Three prototype single mast arm signal support structures with 50-ft, 60-ft, and 70-ft respectively are selected for this numerical simulation study.

In order to validate the finite element models for subsequent simulation study, analytical modeling of static deflection response of mast arm of the signal support structures was performed and found to be close to the numerical simulation results from beam element based finite element model. A 3-DOF dynamic model was then built using analytically derived stiffness matrix for modal analysis and time history analysis.  The free vibration response and forced (harmonic) vibration response of the mast arm structures from the finite element model are observed to be in good agreement with the finite element analysis results. Furthermore, experimental test result from recent free vibration test of a full-scale 50-ft mast arm specimen in the lab is used to verify the prototype structure’s fundamental frequency and viscous damping ratio.

After validating the finite element models, a series of parametric study were conducted to examine the trend and determine optimal use of tuned mass damper on the prototype single mast arm signal support structures by varying the following parameters: mass, frequency, viscous damping ratio, and location of TMD. The numerical simulation study results reveal that two parameters that influence most the vibration mitigation effectiveness of TMD on the single mast arm signal pole structures are the TMD frequency and its viscous damping ratio.

description: Several Cronobacter outbreaks have implicated contaminated drinking water. This study assessed the impact of granular activated carbon (GAC) on the microbial quality of the water produced. A simulated water filter system was installed by filling plastic columns with sterile GAC, followed by sterile water with a dilute nutrient flowing through the column at a steady rate. Carbon columns were inoculated with Cronobacter on the surface, and the effluent monitored for Cronobacter levels.  During a second phase, commercial faucet filters were distributed to households for 4-month use. Used filters were backwashed with sterile peptone water, and analyzed for Cronobacter, total aerobic plate count, coliform bacteria and Enterobacteriaceae. Cronobacter colonized the simulated GAC and grew when provided minimal levels of nutrients. Backwashed used filters used in home settings yielded presumptive Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas and other waterborne bacteria. Presumptive Cronobacter strains were identified as negative through biochemical and genetic test.

description: This meta-analysis introduces tele-medicine in time-sensitive conditions like stroke and the challenges hindering at-home rehabilitation. It aims to consolidate evidence supporting telerehabilitation effectiveness in post-stroke patients, with a focus on ADL, balance, mobility, and motor control. We conducted a meta-analysis using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. A comprehensive search of PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane central databases was conducted. Inclusion criteria involved studies that employed randomized controlled trial (RCT) designs, specifically evaluating various telerehabilitation models in patients diagnosed with a stroke, excluding those with mixed etiology and non-randomized or single-arm designs. Two independent reviewers assessed study quality and bias using Cochrane Risk of Bias 2 before inclusion. We included 10 studies (n = 417) with a predominantly male sample (n = 196). The mean age of the pooled sample of 8 studies was 64.87 (13.01) years. Our meta-analysis showed that telerehabilitation may have modest effects on Berg Balance Scale (SMD 0.08 [−0.23; 0.40]; p = 0.54), and trunk impairment scale (SMD 0.26 [−1.00; 1.52]; p = 0.05), slightly inferior effects on Barthel index (SMD −0.34 [−1.00; 0.32]; p = 0.31), but demonstrated a favorable impact on trunk impairment (SMD −0.21 [−1.18; 0.76]; p = 0.02). We found that telerehabilitation may have modest effects on balance and mobility, and slightly inferior results in Activities of daily living but may have a positive effect on trunk impairment. However, more studies with larger cohorts are needed to confirm our results.

description: Rehabilitation in the chronic phase of stroke should include 20 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). However, the level of compliance with MVPA guidelines in outpatient physiotherapy is unknown. To investigate (1) whether people in the chronic phase of stroke perform the recommended 20 minutes of MVPA during outpatient physiotherapy sessions in France, (2) whether the person’s clinical characteristics influence MVPA time and (3) which interventions contribute to achievement of recommended MVPA time. This was a multicentre, cross-sectional observational study of routine outpatient physiotherapy sessions in France in people in the chronic phase of stroke. The main measures included MVPA time (determined using a heart rate monitor), clinical tests and types of physiotherapy interventions (recorded by external investigator during 2 sessions for each participant). 84 people in the chronic phase of stroke and 152 outpatient physiotherapy sessions in 29 outpatient clinics were included (2021–2022). Median (interquartile range) MVPA time was 25 (7–45) minutes across all sessions. Fifty-nine percent of the sessions fulfilled MVPA guidelines. Among clinical tests, only the Mini-Mental Scale Examination was significantly associated with MVPA time. Endurance, balance, and functional lower limb training were associated with the achievement of MVPA guidelines.  Outpatient physiotherapy sessions have the potential to meet the MVPA guidelines. Further research is needed to understand the variability of compliance with MVPA guidelines and to develop strategies to increase the integration of MVPA into outpatient physiotherapy sessions.
