title: Bayesian Inference for Growth Mixture Models with an Unknown Number of Classes

description: Growth mixture models (GMMs) have been widely used to capture different growth trajectories of unobserved subpopulations (or latent classes). The traditional GMM determines the optimal number of classes through a process called class enumeration, which involves fitting a sequence of models with an increasing number of classes and then selecting the best-fitting model using statistical criteria. Despite its popularity, class enumeration has long been criticized for introducing severe subjectivity when comparing the fitted models. 

Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) mixture modeling offers an alternative approach to detecting latent classes. The BNP approach circumvents the subjectivity inherent in class enumeration by placing a prior on the mixing distribution, which indirectly induces a prior on the number of classes. Consequently, the number of classes can be inferred directly from the data. However, the BNP approach remains understudied in the context of GMM. To reduce this research gap, the dissertation aims to: 1) propose two BNP-GMMs using the Dirichlet process mixture and the mixture of finite mixtures models; 2) compare the performance of the two proposed models in determining the number of classes $K$ with that of the traditional GMM; and 3) evaluate the performance of the two proposed models in choosing K when using the mode versus when using a loss function called variation of information (VI). 

Based on Monte Carlo simulations, Study 1 compares the proposed models and the traditional GMM in choosing K when there is no model misspecification, while Study 2 compares them in choosing K when there is model misspecification in the latent mean structure. Overall, simulation results showed that: 1) the proposed models using VI were more accurate than using the mode; 2) when the population was homogeneous (comprising only one class), the proposed models using VI yielded the highest accuracy in choosing K; whereas, when the population was heterogeneous (consisting of three classes), the proposed models using VI achieved superior accuracy in choosing K when class separation was large; and 3) the proposed models using VI demonstrated robustness against exacerbated overfitting caused by model misspecification. For illustration, the proposed BNP-GMMs were applied to data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 1998-99.

title: Hope and Healing: Initial Analysis of a New Integrative Hope Theory

description: Research has shown that hope is essential both in the context of everyday life and illness. Despite its importance, there is no consensual definition of hope. This dissertation has focused on an initial testing of some premises of a new Integrative Hope Theory (IHT) (Balen & Merluzzi, 2021). 
Specifically, that a) the theorized underlying structure of hope is a two-dimensional configuration that consists of uncertainty and control, b) that depending on the situation (high/low uncertainty/control) participants are more likely to engage in specific hope processes/qualities to maintain hope (i.e., rely on personal skills/self-efficacy, persevere over time, or trusting others/God), and c) to assess specific variables that moderate the importance of control and uncertainty and, therefore, the appraisal of hope (i.e., spirituality, locus of control, and intolerance of uncertainty). 
One hundred participants were recruited. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) revealed that hope consists of two-dimension configuration including a control dimension and a second dimension which was defined by meaning in relation to topic (illness). INDSCAL (Individual Differences Scaling) weights revealed that all participants valued the control dimension more, and that participants with higher spirituality levels and higher intolerance of uncertainty (IO) valued the meaning dimension more compared to participants with lower scores on those same scales. Higher scores on the external-LOC were associated with a greater weight on dimension 2, compared to higher scores on the internal-LOC. Finally, the one-way repeated measure MANOVA partially supported the hypothesis that depending on the specific situation, some hope processes may be more relevant than others to maintain hope. 
The IHT is comprehensive in scope, based in well-established psychological theory, and has heuristic value for accounting for the role of hope in everyday life, in extraordinary circumstances such as serious illness, and in hopelessness. The results partially supported the theory, but there were exceptions.

title: Evolução do sistema respiratório em Squamata

description: The Squamata group exhibits remarkable diversity in pulmonary structure, including unicameral, paucicameral, and multicameral lungs, reflecting a complex evolutionary history that remains incompletely understood. Although the pulmonary morphology of non-avian reptiles, such as Squamata, has been extensively studied, the evolutionary implications of these variations are still unclear. Given the currently accepted phylogenies for the group, this structural diversity prompted an in-depth investigation into the evolution of the respiratory system in Squamata. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive compilation of pulmonary morphological data, followed by comparative phylogenetic analyses to reconstruct the evolution of these traits within the group (Chapter 1). The results revealed a strong phylogenetic signal across all variables tested, suggesting a close association between pulmonary characteristics and the evolutionary history of Squamata. Despite uncertainties regarding the ancestral lung of Amniotes, the data indicate a high probability of a unicameral lung at the base of Squamata. In the case of Serpentes, the analysis showed that the loss of the tracheal lung and the reduction of the left lung occurred more frequently than the acquisition or development of these organs, although there remain uncertainties about the hypothetical ancestral state of these features within the group. To understand the development of these structures in Squamata, we conducted studies on specimens at different embryonic stages (Chapter 2). The results did not indicate the presence of multicamerality during pulmonary development in the group. This dissertation provides valuable insights into the evolution and development of the respiratory system in Squamata, highlighting the complexities and morphological patterns that characterize the group.

title: The “Clazzical” Organ Works of Surendran Reddy

description: This study will show the form analysis, harmonic structure and socio-economic understanding of two organ works written by Surendran Reddy (1962-2010) post-apartheid (after 1994). Toccata for Madiba and Mayibuye Suite are both examples of what Reddy refers to as "Clazz" - a blend of Classical Western Art Music traditions with Jazz performance practices in a South African context. 
The first piece, Toccata for Madiba, was written towards the end of Nelson Mandela’s (1918-2013) term as president of South Africa, at the peak of his popularity. As this was a celebratory time, one filled with hope, this joyous and boisterous Toccata depicts the general mood and excitement of the country at the time. This piece was written for the University of South Africa (UNISA) International Organ Competition and performed by each of the competitors. The second piece - Mayibuye Suite - is a three-movement work composed in 2001 and also incorporates Clazzical idioms throughout. Both these pieces were composed upon Reddy’s return to South Africa, after spending five years at the Royal College of Music in London.
During apartheid, Reddy and many other musicians of color performed in illegal clubs, called shebeens, in South Africa. Performances at these shebeens featured various genres and dance styles, particularly Mbaqanga, Marabi & Isicathamiya. It was only after a few regular performances at these informal settlements and taking keyboard improvisation classes that Reddy’s musical palette started to broaden, resulting in compositions that were harmonically rich and rhythmically stimulating.
To date there has been little scholarship on South African Clazzical works for the organ. This study will not only serve as a practice guide but will provide contextual information and narrativity for this type of music.
