The Causal Foundations of Structural Equation Modeling

The role of causality in SEM research is widely perceived to be, on the one hand, of pivotal methodological importance and, on the other hand, confusing, enigmatic and controversial. The confusion is vividly portrayed, for example, in the influential report of Wilkinson and Task Force’s (1999) on “Statistical Methods in Psychology Journals: Guidelines and Explanations.” In discussing SEM, the report starts with the usual warning: “It is sometimes thought that correlation does not prove causation but ‘causal modeling’ does. [Wrong! There are] dangers in this practice.” But then ends with a startling conclusion: “The use of complicated causal-modeling software [read SEM] rarely yields any results that have any interpretation as causal effects.” The implication being that the entire enterprise of causal modeling, from Sewell Wright (1921) to Blalock (1964) and Duncan (1975), the entire literature in econometric research, including modern advances in graphical and nonparametric structural models have all been misguided, for they have been chasing parameters that have no causal interpretation. The motives for such overstatements notwithstanding, readers may rightly ask: “If SEM methods do not ‘prove’ causation, how can they yield results that have causal interpretation?” Put another way, if the structural coefficients that SEM researchers labor to estimate can legitimately be interpreted as causal effects then, unless these parameters are grossly misestimated, why deny SEM researchers the honor of “establishing causation” or at least of deriving some useful claims about causation. The answer is that a huge logical gap exists between “establishing causation,” which requires careful manipulative experiments, and “interpreting parameters as causal effects,” which may be based on firm scientific knowledge or on previously conducted experiments, perhaps by other researchers. One can legitimately be in a possession of a parameter that stands for a causal effect and still be unable, using statistical means alone, to determine the magnitude of that parameter given non-experimental data. As a matter of fact, we know that
A circle packing algorithm

A circle packing is a configuration P of circles realizing a specified pattern of tangencies. Radii of packin the euclidean and hyperbolic planes may be computed using an iterative process suggested by William T We describe an efficient implementation, discuss its performance, and illustrate recent applications. A cen is played by new and subtle monotonicity results for “flowers” of circles.  2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
Cerebellar ataxia rehabilitation trial in degenerative cerebellar diseases.

OBJECTIVE
To investigate short- and long-term effects of intensive rehabilitation on ataxia, gait, and activities of daily living (ADLs) in patients with degenerative cerebellar disease.


METHODS
A total of 42 patients with pure cerebellar degeneration were randomly assigned to the immediate group or the delayed-entry control group. The immediate group received 2 hours of inpatient physical and occupational therapy, focusing on coordination, balance, and ADLs, on weekdays and 1 hour on weekends for 4 weeks. The control group received the same intervention after a 4-week delay. Short-term outcome was compared between the immediate and control groups. Long-term evaluation was done in both groups at 4, 12, and 24 weeks after the intervention. Outcome measures included the assessment and rating of ataxia, Functional Independence Measure, gait speed, cadence, functional ambulation category, and number of falls.


RESULTS
The immediate group showed significantly greater functional gains in ataxia, gait speed, and ADLs than the control group. Improvement of truncal ataxia was more prominent than limb ataxia. The gains in ataxia and gait were sustained at 12 weeks and 24 weeks, respectively. At least 1 measure was better than at baseline at 24 weeks in 22 patients.


CONCLUSIONS
Short-term benefit of intensive rehabilitation was evident in patients with degenerative cerebellar diseases. Although functional status tended to decline to the baseline level within 24 weeks, gains were maintained in more than half of the participants.
Interoperability evaluation models: A systematic review

Interoperability is defined as the ability for two (or more) systems or components to exchange information and to use the information that has been exchanged. There is increasing demand for interoperability between individual software systems. Developing an interoperability evaluation model between software and information systems is difficult, and becoming an important challenge. An interoperability evaluation model allows knowing the degree of interoperability, and lead to the improvement of interoperability. This paper describes the existing interoperability evaluation models, and performs a comparative analysis among their findings to determine the similarities and differences in their philosophy and implementation. This analysis yields a set of recommendations for any party that is open to the idea of creating or improving an interoperability evaluation model. 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Proxy Cryptography Revisited

In this work we revisit and formally study the notion of proxy cryptography. Intuitively, various proxy functions allow two cooperating parties F (the “FBI”) and P (the “proxy”) to duplicate the functionality available to t he third party U (the “user”), without being able to perform this functionality on their own (without cooperation). The concept is closely related to the notion of threshold cryptography, except we deal with only two parties P andF , and place very strict restrictions on the way the operations are performed (which is done for the sake of efficiency, usability and scalability). For example, for decryption (res p. signature)P (F ) sends a single message to F (P ), after which the latter can decrypt (sign) the message. Our formal modeling of proxy cryptography significantly generalizes, simplifies and simultaneously clarifies the model of “atomic proxy” suggested by Blaze and Strauss [4]. In particular, we define bidirectional and unidirectional var iants of our model 1, and show extremely simple generic solutions for proxy signature and encryption in these models. We also give more efficient solutions for several specific schemes. We conclude that proxy cryptography is a relatively simple concept to satisfy when looked from the correct and formal standpoint.
Privacy by BlockChain Design: A BlockChain-enabled GDPR-compliant Approach for Handling Personal Data

This paper takes an initial step forward in bringing to life the certification mechanisms according to Art. 42 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These newly established methods of legal specification act not only as a central vehicle for overcoming widely articulated and discussed legal challenges, but also as a sandbox for the much needed close collaboration between computer sciences and legal studies. In order to illustrate, for example, what data protection seals could look like in the future, the authors propose a methodology for "translating" legal requirements into technical guidelines: architectural blueprints designed using legal requirements. The purpose of these blueprints is to show developers how their solutions might comply with the principle of Privacy by Design (Art. 25 GDPR). To demonstrate this methodology, the authors propose an architectural blueprint that embodies the legal concept of the data subject’s consent (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR) and elevates best practice to a high standard of Privacy by Design. Finally, the authors highlight further legal problems concerning blockchain technology under the GDPR that will have to be addressed in order to achieve a comprehensive certification mechanism for Privacy by Blockchain Design in the future.

Persecutory delusions and catastrophic worry in psychosis: developing the understanding of delusion distress and persistence.

In a recent theoretical account of persecutory delusions, it is suggested that anxiety and worry are important factors in paranoid experience [Freeman, D., Garety, P. A., Kuipers, E., Fowler, D., & Bebbington, P. E. (2002). A cognitive model of persecutory delusions. British Journal of Clinical Psychology, 41(4), 331-347]. In emotional disorders worry has been understood in terms of catastrophising. In the current study, the concept of catastrophising is applied for the first time with persecutory delusions. Thirty individuals with current persecutory delusions and 30 non-clinical controls participated in a cross-sectional study. The group with persecutory delusions was also followed up at 3 months to assess predictors of delusion persistence. At its most severe, 21% of individuals with persecutory delusions had clinical worry, 68% had levels of worry comparable with treatment seeking GAD patients. Further, high levels of anxiety, worry and catastrophising were associated with high levels of persecutory delusion distress and with the persistence of delusions over 3 months. If future research replicates these findings, worry reduction interventions for individuals with persecutory delusions may be warranted.
ResearchGate versus Google Scholar: Which finds more early citations?

ResearchGate has launched its own citation index by extracting citations from documents uploaded to the site and reporting citation counts on article profile pages. Since authors may upload preprints to ResearchGate, it may use these to provide early impact evidence for new papers. This article assesses the whether the number of citations found for recent articles is comparable to other citation indexes using 2675 recently-published library and information science articles. The results show that in March 2017, ResearchGate found less citations than did Google Scholar but more than both Web of Science and Scopus. This held true for the dataset overall and for the six largest journals in it. ResearchGate correlated most strongly with Google Scholar citations, suggesting that ResearchGate is not predominantly tapping a fundamentally different source of data than Google Scholar. Nevertheless, preprint sharing in ResearchGate is substantial enough for authors to take seriously.
Optimal detection of fetal chromosomal abnormalities by massively parallel DNA sequencing of cell-free fetal DNA from maternal blood.

BACKGROUND
Massively parallel DNA sequencing of cell-free fetal DNA from maternal blood can detect fetal chromosomal abnormalities. Although existing algorithms focus on the detection of fetal trisomy 21 (T21), these same algorithms have difficulty detecting trisomy 18 (T18).


METHODS
Blood samples were collected from 1014 patients at 13 US clinic locations before they underwent an invasive prenatal procedure. All samples were processed to plasma, and the DNA extracted from 119 samples underwent massively parallel DNA sequencing. Fifty-three sequenced samples came from women with an abnormal fetal karyotype. To minimize the intra- and interrun sequencing variation, we developed an optimized algorithm by using normalized chromosome values (NCVs) from the sequencing data on a training set of 71 samples with 26 abnormal karyotypes. The classification process was then evaluated on an independent test set of 48 samples with 27 abnormal karyotypes.


RESULTS
Mapped sites for chromosomes of interest in the sequencing data from the training set were normalized individually by calculating the ratio of the number of sites on the specified chromosome to the number of sites observed on an optimized normalizing chromosome (or chromosome set). Threshold values for trisomy or sex chromosome classification were then established for all chromosomes of interest, and a classification schema was defined. Sequencing of the independent test set led to 100% correct classification of T21 (13 of 13) and T18 (8 of 8) samples. Other chromosomal abnormalities were also identified.


CONCLUSION
Massively parallel sequencing is capable of detecting multiple fetal chromosomal abnormalities from maternal plasma when an optimized algorithm is used.
A paradigmatic and methodological examination of knowledge management research: 2000 to 2004

Knowledge management (KM) research has been evolving for more than a decade, yet little is known about KM theoretical perspectives, research paradigms, and research methods. This paper explores KM research in influential journals for the period 2000–2004. A total of 160 KM articles in ten top-tier information systems and management journals are analyzed. Articles that may serve as useful exemplars of KM research from positivist, interpretivist, and critical pluralist paradigms are selected. We find that KM research in information systems journals differs from that in management journals, but neither makes a balanced use of positivist and non-positivist research approaches. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Diced cartilage grafts in rhinoplasty surgery: current techniques and applications.

BACKGROUND
The author has used diced cartilage grafts in nasal surgery for more than 30 years. However, the number of cases and the variety of techniques have increased dramatically over the past 6 years.


METHODS
The author uses three methods of diced cartilage in rhinoplasty surgery: diced cartilage, diced cartilage wrapped in fascia (with fascia then sewn closed), and diced cartilage covered with fascia (with the recipient area covered with fascia after graft placement). The constructs are highly varied to fit the specific defect. Pieces of diced cartilage without any fascia can be placed in pockets in the peripyriform area, radix, or alongside structural rib grafts.


RESULTS
Over a 2-year period, the author treated 546 rhinoplasty cases in which 79 patients (14 percent) had a total of 91 diced cartilage grafts. There were 34 primary and 45 secondary operations involving the radix (n = 11), half-length grafts (n = 14), full-length dorsum (n = 43), peripyriform (n = 16), infralobule (n = 4), and lateral wall (n = 3). All charts were reviewed for the 256 rhinoplasties performed in 2006 of which 30 patients had 35 diced cartilage grafts. With a median follow-up of 19 months (range, 13 to 25 months), two patients had had revisions unrelated to their diced cartilage grafts. The three most common technical problems were overcorrection, visibility, and junctional step-offs.


CONCLUSIONS
Diced cartilage grafts are a valuable addition to rhinoplasty surgery. They are highly flexible and useful throughout the nose. Their use simplifies one of the greatest challenges in all of rhinoplasty--dorsal augmentation. Complications have been relatively minor and their correction relatively simple.
Multi-fiber Networks for Video Recognition

In this paper, we aim to reduce the computational cost of spatio-temporal deep neural networks, making them run as fast as their 2D counterparts while preserving state-of-the-art accuracy on video recognition benchmarks. To this end, we present the novel Multi-Fiber architecture that slices a complex neural network into an ensemble of lightweight networks or fibers that run through the network. To facilitate information flow between fibers we further incorporate multiplexer modules and end up with an architecture that reduces the computational cost of 3D networks by an order of magnitude, while increasing recognition performance at the same time. Extensive experimental results show that our multi-fiber architecture significantly boosts the efficiency of existing convolution networks for both image and video recognition tasks, achieving state-of-the-art performance on UCF-101, HMDB-51 and Kinetics datasets. Our proposed model requires over 9× and 13× less computations than the I3D [1] and R(2+1)D [2] models, respectively, yet providing higher accuracy.
Perceived qualities of smart wearables: determinants of user acceptance

Wearable computers are one of the new technologies that are expected to be a part of users' lives extensively in near future. While some of the users have positive attitudes towards these new products, some users may reject to use them due to different reasons. User experience is subjective, and effected by various parameters. Among these the first impression, namely the perceived qualities has an important impact on product acceptance. This paper aims to explore the perceived qualities of wearables and define the relations between them. An empirical study is conducted, to find out the hierarchy and meaningful relationships between the perceived qualities of smart wearables. The study is based on personal construct theory and data is presented by Cross-Impact Analysis. The patterns behind affection and affected qualities are explored to understand the design requirements for the best integration of wearables into daily lives.

Literature Review of Teamwork Models

Both human collaboration and software agent collaboration have been thoroughly studied, but there is relatively little research on hybrid human-agent teamwork. Some research has identified the roles that agents could play in hybrid teams: supporting individual team members, being a teammate, or supporting the team as a whole [99]. Some other work [57] has investigated trust concepts as the fundamental building block for effective human-agent teamwork or posited the types of shared knowledge that promote mutual understanding between cooperating humans and agents [9, 68]. However, many of the facets of human agent teamwork models, such as communication protocols for forming mutual intelligibility, performing team monitoring to assess progress, forming joint goals, addressing task interdependencies in hybrid teamwork are still unexplored. In this report, we address the following questions: 1. what factors affect human team task performance and cognition? 2. how can agent coordination mechanisms be adapted for human-agent teams? 3. with current technologies, what roles can agents successfully fill in hybrid human-agent teams? 4. what are the barriers to human-agent interaction?
Transformational leadership in nursing: a concept analysis.

AIM
To analyse the concept of transformational leadership in the nursing context.


BACKGROUND
Tasked with improving patient outcomes while decreasing the cost of care provision, nurses need strategies for implementing reform in health care and one promising strategy is transformational leadership. Exploration and greater understanding of transformational leadership and the potential it holds is integral to performance improvement and patient safety.


DESIGN
Concept analysis using Walker and Avant's (2005) concept analysis method.


DATA SOURCES
PubMed, CINAHL and PsychINFO.


METHODS
This report draws on extant literature on transformational leadership, management, and nursing to effectively analyze the concept of transformational leadership in the nursing context.


IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING
This report proposes a new operational definition for transformational leadership and identifies model cases and defining attributes that are specific to the nursing context. The influence of transformational leadership on organizational culture and patient outcomes is evident. Of particular interest is the finding that transformational leadership can be defined as a set of teachable competencies. However, the mechanism by which transformational leadership influences patient outcomes remains unclear.


CONCLUSION
Transformational leadership in nursing has been associated with high-performing teams and improved patient care, but rarely has it been considered as a set of competencies that can be taught. Also, further research is warranted to strengthen empirical referents; this can be done by improving the operational definition, reducing ambiguity in key constructs and exploring the specific mechanisms by which transformational leadership influences healthcare outcomes to validate subscale measures.
