Caregiving Practice Patterns of Asian, Hispanic, and Non Hispanic White American Family Caregivers of Older Adults Across Generations
Venue: Journal of cross cultural gerontology
Year: 2016

This study is a cross sectional investigation of caregiving practice patterns among Asian, Hispanic and non Hispanic White American family caregivers of older adults across three immigrant generations. The 2009 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) dataset was used, and 591 Asian, 989 Hispanic and 6537 non Hispanic White American caregivers of older adults were selected. First, descriptive analyses of caregivers' characteristics, caregiving situations and practice patterns were examined by racial/ethnic groups and immigrant generations. Practice patterns measured were respite care use, hours and length of caregiving. Three hypotheses on caregiving patterns based on assimilation theory were tested and analyzed using logistic regression and generalized linear models by racial/ethnic groups and generations. Caregiving patterns of non Hispanic White caregivers supported all three hypotheses regarding respite care use, caregiving hours and caregiving duration, showing less caregiving involvement in later generations. However, Asian and Hispanic counterparts showed mixed results. Third generation Asian and Hispanic caregivers used respite care the least and spent the most caregiving hours per week and had the longest caregiving duration compared to earlier generations. These caregiving patterns revealed underlying cultural values related to filial responsibility, even among later generations of caregivers of color. Findings suggest the importance of considering the cultural values of each racial/ethnic group regardless of generation when working with racially and ethnically diverse populations of family caregivers of older adults.
One Hundred Years of Employee Turnover Theory and Research
Venue: The Journal of applied psychology
Year: 2017

We review seminal publications on employee turnover during the 100 year existence of the Journal of Applied Psychology. Along with classic articles from this journal, we expand our review to include other publications that yielded key theoretical and methodological contributions to the turnover literature. We first describe how the earliest papers examined practical methods for turnover reduction or control and then explain how theory development and testing began in the mid 20th century and dominated the academic literature until the turn of the century. We then track 21st century interest in the psychology of staying (rather than leaving) and attitudinal trajectories in predicting turnover. Finally, we discuss the rising scholarship on collective turnover given the centrality of human capital flight to practitioners and to the field of human resource management strategy.
[Interpreter Aided Psychotherapy for Deaf and Hearing Impaired Patients a Systematic Review of Research and Recommendations for Psychotherapists with Normal Hearing and Sign Language Interpreters]
Venue: Gesundheitswesen (Bundesverband der Arzte des Offentlichen Gesundheitsdienstes (Germany)
Year: 2019

In Germany, deaf patients undergoing psychotherapy have the right to have the costs of a sign language interpreter covered by the insurance since 2001. The effectiveness of interpreter aided psychotherapy worldwide is disputed. A systematic literature review was conducted on sign language interpreter aided psychotherapy. Six scientific databases were searched. Two independent raters conducted a 2 step rating process. Out of 1,184 identified publications, 10 studies in German and English language were included. These 10 studies examined between 1 and 85 deaf patients (7 60 years) in different psychotherapeutic settings (8 ambulatory, 4 family therapy) Nine studies reported therapy success. Relevant knowledge (e. g. about culture of deaf people) attitudes (e. g. openness) abilities (e. g. sign language) and general conditions (e. g. declaration for professional secrecy, light conditions) were recommended for psychotherapists with normal hearing and sign language interpreters. Empirical data on psychotherapy with sign language interpreters is low and methodologically limited. The present study can be considered as a starting point for further research.

Year: 2020

A forest plantation area of Melaleuca cajuputi at BDH Karangmojo, BKPH Yogyakarta are 2,325.20 ha. One of the efforts to keep its sustainability is to plan the target and realization of cajuputi leaf production considerwith forest condition. Advances in remote sensing technology can be an alternative in estimating the cajuputi leaf production on large areas with an efficient time and high accuracy and able to analyze the quality of cajuputi. This study aims to examine Sentinel 2A capabilities through a relationship model of some vegetation indices integrated with vegetative factors on the production to obtain estimates of leaf production, map and test the estimation model accuracy. The method used is to classify objects in pixels with Linear Spectral Mixture Analysis and build relationship between age, number of plants and vegetation index with cajuputi leaf production. The results showed that the unmixing method has 99,66% accuracy in classifying pixels into the fraction of cajuputi. MERIS Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index of unmixing cajuputi fraction simultaneously with age and number of plants has the highest correlation with value of r 0,668 to the production and modeled in mapping the estimated cajuputi leaf production at the research location with Standard Error of Estimate is 0,183.
Predicting the Relative Permeability of Water Phase Based on Theory ofCoupled Electricity Seepage and Capillary Bundle Model
Year: 2015

An analytical water relative model based on the theory of coupled electricity seepage and capillary bundle pore structure is described. The model shows that the relative permeability of water is affected by two kinds of parameters, which are depicted as static parameters and dynamic parameters. Revised Kozeny Carman equation and Archie formulas are introduced to deduce the model, which enhance the characterization ability of pore structure. Two displacing states, where we summarized that oil coats capillary walls and oil occupies capillary centers are also discussed for optimization of the model. In contrast to existing empirical formulas where relative permeability is strongly related to capillary pres sure and fractal dimension, we introduce only water saturation and saturation index as input parameters, which make the model simpler to use. Petrophysics and unsteady relative permeability experiments (oil displacing water) are carried out to testify the two models. The fitting results show that for oil displacing experiments presented in this paper, the displacing state where oil coats capillary walls is suitable to predict the relative permeability of water.
Intriguing Properties of Randomly Weighted Networks: Generalizing While Learning Next to Nothing
Venue: 2019 16th Conference on Computer and Robot Vision (CRV)
Year: 2019

Training deep neural networks results in strong learned representations that show good generalization capabilities. In most cases, training involves iterative modification of all weights in the network via back propagation. In Extreme Learning Machines, it has been suggested to set the first layer of a network to fixed random values instead of learning it. In this paper, we propose to take this approach a step further and fix almost all layers of a deep convolutional neural network, allowing only a small portion of the weights to be learned. As our experiments show, fixing even the majority of the parameters of the network often results in performance which is on par with the performance of learning all of them. The implications of this intriguing property of deep neural networks are discussed and we suggest practical ways to harness it to create more robust and compact representations.
How is your Bridge Behaving? Advanced Monitoring of New Zealandas Longest Bridges
Year: 2018

At 1.76km long, the Rakaia River Bridge is the longest bridge in New Zealand. When combined with the Rangitata River Bridges (identical structural form) these structures comprise 223 spans and over 2.7km of reinforced concrete bridge on State Highway 1S in South Canterbury. The bridges were all constructed circa 1939 and in recent years have become a significant impediment to freight movements in the South Island. To avoid costly bridge strengthening, the New Zealand Transport Agency embarked on an ambitious programme to develop a cost effective, real time Structural Response Monitoring system.
Analysis of APOBEC and ADAR deaminase driven Riboswitch Haplotypes in COVID 19 RNA strain variants and the implications for mono strain vaccine design
Year: 2020

This paper reports the results of our initial analysis of APOBEC and ADAR deaminase mediated mutation signature patterns in complete COVID 19 genomes from informative locations and times in China, USA and Spain in the 2019 2020 pandemic. We have identified a unique set of 'new' putative coordinated Riboswitches in COVID 19 genomes not previously identified, and likely generating variants of the known common strain Haplotypes now in circulation. The results reveal that COVID 19 diversifies using switching of RNA Haplotypes with minimal alteration to protein structure (the normal targets for B and T cells in conventional vaccine development) The deaminase driven RNA Haplotypes are most likely aligned with RNA secondary structures as several studies already highlight how Riboswitches alter he ability of RNA to fold into intricate three dimensional structures allowing them to execute their diverse cellular functions. The same functional outcomes are expected for viruses, particularly efficacy of RNA replication in new host cell environments. Thus, monostrain vaccine designs that assume that the main viral protein antigens will be the only putative protective targets could fail to produce effective and protective immunity. We conclude that understanding COVID 19 adaptation and survival strategy and identifying the host Haplotype, and which vaccine(s) is effective for each Haplotype group will be important for new vaccine design. Our study also has wider implications for the actual origins and spread of COVID 19 but these will be pursued in future publications.
Dynamics analysis and circuit implementation of a new three dimensional chaotic system
Year: 2015

In this paper, a novel three dimensional quadratic autonomous double wing chaotic system is introduced and analyzed theoretically. The chaotic system is constructed with three control parameters and two different nonlinear items, in which one of the nonlinear term constituted by the sign function and the other nonlinear constituted by the square function. Some of its detailed basic dynamical properties, such as theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, the equilibrium point, Lyapunov exponent (LE) spectrum and bifurcation diagram are investigated either analytically or numerically. Moreover, an analog circuit diagram is designed to realize the new chaotic system. Circuit experiment result of the chaotic attractor is identical to computer simulation, and the chaotic characteristic is verified.
Market Based Executive Compensation Contract under Endogenous Information Acquisition
Year: 2019

The study investigates how a publicly traded firm's liquidation value and stock price are used in an executive compensation contract when information acquisition in the asset market is endogenized. If the inside owner offers marketbased compensation contract to the risk averse manager, the inside owner expects higher utility than when stock prices are excluded from the contract. If information cost displays an intermediate value, changes in the exogenous parameters generate the direct effect and the indirect effect via the information market. Finally, we find that the market based compensation contract contributes to the increase of social welfare.
Histoire coloniale et postcoloniale de l'Afrique de l'ouest a travers les figures du griot dans les films d'ousmane sembene
Year: 2010

My thesis examines the figures of the griot in five films by Senegalese writer and film director, Ousmane Sembene, widely considered "the Father of African Cinema." I evaluate the figures of the griot in Sembene's works from the vital place played by history. I focus on the use of the griot by Sembene to rewrite sub Saharan African history. I compare Sembene's representation of history with modern historical criteria laid out by Paul Ricoeur, Michel de Certeau and Pierre Nora. The central claim of my dissertation is that the griot should be contextualized as a historical figure that interprets memory and influences the perception of the past rather than as a mere literary and cinematic device. Current scholarship on Sembene privileges the Western interpretation of the griot as storyteller, that is, the narrative aspect over the more restrictive position the griot traditionally holds in West African societies. The historical aspect of the griot's representations provides an unparalleled opportunity to free Sembene's works from classical ideologies such as Marxism and Panafricanism or his role as "father of African cinema" as well as to contribute to the debate between history and memory from a West African perspective. To analyze the representation of history through the figures of the griot in Sembene's films, I chose to study five films by Ousmane Sembene that depict three distinct eras (the pre colonial, colonial, and post colonial periods) in West African history: Black Girl (1966) Emitai (1971) Ceddo (1977) Camp de Thiaroye (1987) and Guelwaar (1992)  ____________________________________ Thesis Supervisor ____________________________________ Title and Department ____________________________________ DateApproved: ____________________________________ Thesis Supervisor ____________________________________ Title and Department ____________________________________ Date HISTOIRE COLONIALE ET POSTCOLONIALE DE L'AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST A TRAVERS LES FIGURES DU GRIOT DANS LES FILMS D'OUSMANE SEMBENE by Moussa Balla Fall A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in French and Francophone World Studies in the Graduate College of The University of Iowa
Effects of urbanization on historical heritage buildings in Kumbakonam, Tamilnadu, India
Venue: Frontiers of Architectural Research
Year: 2019

Urbanization is a common and inevitable occurrence everywhere. While growth and expansion are beneficial for many people and businesses, there is a potential for loss of historical areas that are the heritage value to people. This paper investigates the effects of urbanization on the heritage buildings in the historical heritage temple town of Kumbakonam in Tamilnadu, India. Heritage temple towns are frequent targets for the rapid transition to urbanization that is often accompanied by alteration of historical areas. The primary objective of this study was to identify how urbanization could change the heritage characteristics in a temple town. An ordinal regression model was used to analyze urbanization data from the heritage town of Kumbakonam. Our findings revealed specific physical, socioeconomic, and sociocultural factors of urbanization that caused identifiable and significant changes in the heritage characteristics of Kumbakonam. These factors play a significant role and would aid in the implementation of the Local Development Plan (LDP) for sustainable urban growth and preservation of the heritage character of Kumbakonam.
Unsupervised Cross Dataset Transfer Learning for Person Re identification
Venue: 2016 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR)
Year: 2016

Most existing person re identification (Re ID) approaches follow a supervised learning framework, in which a large number of labelled matching pairs are required for training. This severely limits their scalability in realworld applications. To overcome this limitation, we develop a novel cross dataset transfer learning approach to learn a discriminative representation. It is unsupervised in the sense that the target dataset is completely unlabelled. Specifically, we present an multi task dictionary learning method which is able to learn a dataset shared but target data biased representation. Experimental results on five benchmark datasets demonstrate that the method significantly outperforms the state of the art.
The Arabic Version of the Liber Denudationis: How Fatimid Controversies Shaped Medieval European Views of Islam
Year: 2020

This article investigates an Arabic critique of Islam known as The Book of Clarity with Regard to the Truth (Kitab al Wadih bi al haqq; shortened to Clarity in Truth) composed by the Muslim convert to Coptic Christianity known as Bulus ibn Raja` (c. 950s after 1012) The article examines his biography, the historical processes that led to the composition of his work, and his use of Islamic sources, which subsequently made a considerable impact on Western Christian views of Islam. Previously, Clarity in Truth was only known in its Latin translation as the Book of Denuding (Liber Denudationis) and the circumstances of its authorship, historical origins and original content have been contested by scholars. This article answers questions about the author Bulus ibn Raja` and his Arabic text, investigates his use of Islamic sources to support his arguments, and highlights how Clarity in Truth's arguments were disseminated into the western European environment. Overall, this historical analysis explains the process by which intra Islamic polemics were integrated into Christian Arabic literature and later disseminated via Eastern Christian networks into medieval Europe, consequently shaping their views of the Qur'an and Islam.
Multi Agent Reinforcement Learning: A Report on Challenges and Approaches
Venue: ArXiv
Year: 2018

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a learning paradigm concerned with learning to control a system so as to maximize an objective over the long term. This approach to learning has received immense interest in recent times and success manifests itself in the form of human level performance on games like \textit{Go} While RL is emerging as a practical component in real life systems, most successes have been in Single Agent domains. This report will instead specifically focus on challenges that are unique to Multi Agent Systems interacting in mixed cooperative and competitive environments. The report concludes with advances in the paradigm of training Multi Agent Systems called \textit{Decentralized Actor, Centralized Critic} based on an extension of MDPs called \textit{Decentralized Partially Observable MDP}s, which has seen a renewed interest lately.
The "ABCD" implant classification a comprehensive philosophy for treatment planning in completely edentulous arches.
Venue: The Journal of oral implantology
Year: 2020

A thorough and precise treatment planning taking into consideration various factors such as age, availability of bone, inter arch space for prosthesis design, smile line, lip support, patient desires and economics is a necessity before implant surgery. A lot of previous classification systems for treatment planning in edentulous situations tend to focus on only a certain parameter such as aesthetics, available bone volume or are specifically designed for the maxilla or mandible. The authors have proposed a simplified and universal ABCD classification which uses the four vital parameters of age, bone volume, cosmetic display and degree of resorption to create an algorithm that satisfies the treatment needs of every patient. Various permutations of the four parameters can be utilized to arrive at a solution that streamlines the further phases of the rehabilitative process. The aim of the present article is to provide a science driven approach to understand a patient's individual needs with careful attention to the interplay of all the above mentioned factors in the decision making process.
