    Current research on adolescent brain development has uncovered individual differences in patterns of functional connectivity during the regulation of emotions, reflecting differences in psychological and emotional functioning. The purpose of this study was to identify possible contributors to these individual differences by investigating the role of maternal emotional resources, in the form of adult attachment and emotional awareness. Participants included 35 adolescent girls (M age = 15.51, SD = 0.37) who completed an implicit emotion regulation task (Lieberman et al., 2007) during an fMRI scan following 9th grade. Mothers reported on the quality of their adult attachment when youth were in 3rd and 4th grades and reported on their emotional awareness when youth were in 4th and 5th grades. We found that higher levels of maternal anxious attachment and lower levels of maternal emotional awareness were significantly correlated with more positive (i.e., ineffective) amygdala-right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (rVLPFC) connectivity. Further, path analysis revealed that there was an indirect effect of maternal anxious attachment on adolescent functional connectivity through maternal emotional awareness. These results suggest that exposure to compromised maternal emotional resources in childhood may be linked to the development of ineffective neural processing of emotions, highlighting one pathway for the intergenerational transmission of disrupted emotion processing.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-12-01The student, Haina Modi, accepted the attached license on 2018-11-19 at 09:33.The student, Haina Modi, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-11-19 at 09:42.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-11-26 at 11:59.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #13098 on 2019-02-07 at 14:17:36Made available in DSpace on 2019-02-07T20:35:58Z (GMT).

    En Modi-fierad demokrati : En kvantitativ innehållsanalys gällande amerikansk nyhetsrapportering om Indien

    No full text
    The Swedish independent research institute V-Dem, which measures democracy around the world, declared in their most recent report on the issue that India was no longer classified as a democracy, but an electoral autocracy. Amongst other things, V-Dem draws the conclusion that the election of the Hindu nationalist leader Narendra Modi in 2014 has been a strong contributor to the decline in democracy in India. At the same time, The U.S. Department of State declares that the U.S.-India partnership is founded on a shared commitment to freedom and democratic principles. With India as a close ally, friction could arise. This thesis aims to explore how India is portrayed in American media, to get a broader understanding of how Americans view India and Narendra Modi. Many scholars believe policy is based on people’s opinions, and people’s opinions are largely based on how the media portrays certain issues. The author also draws a comparison between American right-leaning media outlets and left-leaning media outlets to examine if there are any differences regarding the depiction of India between them. By performing a quantitative content analysis, the author aims to examine how American media portrays India, its leaders, and democracy. The layout of the study is based on exanimating 175 published articles about India and coding them via a codebook designed to measure democratic values and the depiction of Narendra Modi, his government, and party BJP. The findings suggest that when democratic values are depicted in articles about India, it is mostly in negative terms. On the other hand, the portrayal of Narendra Modi, his government, and his party are more balanced. The findings also suggest that right-leaning and left-leaning media have a very similar way of portraying India, its democracy, and Narendra Modi

    Psychological treatments in schizophrenia: II. Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials of social skills training and cognitive remediation

    No full text
    Background. Social skills training and cognitive remediation are psychological techniques with considerable face validity for the treatment of negative symptoms of schizophrenia and their consequences. This paper provides a meta-analytical review of these treatments. It includes an appreciable number of randomized controlled trials, using comparisons against both standard care and other active interventions. However, the assessment of particular outcomes sometimes had to be based on single studies.Method. A detailed search strategy was used to identify randomized controlled trials of social skills training and cognitive remediation, primarily employing electronic databases. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that met predefined criteria were then subjected to meta-analysis on a variety of outcome measures.Results. There was no clear evidence for any benefits of social skills training on relapse rate, global adjustment, social functioning, quality of life or treatment compliance. Cognitive remediation had no benefit on attention, verbal memory, visual memory, planning, cognitive flexibility or mental state.Conclusions. Social skills training and cognitive remediation do not appear to confer reliable benefits for patients with schizophrenia and cannot be recommended for clinical practice

    Performance analysis of machine learning applications on rapid: a highly parallel computer architecture

    No full text
    Over the past few years, the interest and application of machine learning algorithms has risen exponentially. Machine learning has found extensive use in diverse fields like self-driving cars, speech recognition, image processing, computer vision, molecular biology, security etc. A lot of recent research involves evaluation of machine learning applications on different architectures. In this thesis, we evaluate the performance of six common machine learning algorithms: K-Means, K-Nearest Neighbors, Linear Regression, Latent Dirichlet Allocation, Deep Neural Network, and Radix Sort on RAPID. RAPID is a highly parallel computer architecture developed at Oracle Labs for accelerating and improving the performance of database analytic workloads. We find that the RAPID platform performs well on the performance-per-watt metric i.e. it is a power-efficient architecture. Moreover, the machine learning applications can be easily scaled to hundreds of nodes of the RAPID architecture, thereby making it suitable for distributed machine learning applications. However, we find certain bottlenecks in the micro-architecture, memory system and network of the RAPID architecture and propose optimizations to make it a more performance efficient architecture for machine learning applications.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2019-05-01The student, Aakash Modi, accepted the attached license on 2017-04-26 at 12:22.The student, Aakash Modi, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2017-04-26 at 12:30.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2017-04-26 at 16:22.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11087 on 2017-08-10 at 14:32:41Made available in DSpace on 2017-08-10T19:52:24Z (GMT).

    Low Energy Order-To-Disorder Transition Pathways In Phase-Change Nanowires

    No full text
    Phase change memory (PCM) can reversibly transform between the amorphous and crystalline phase within nanoseconds, making it a promising candidate for non-volatile memory (NVM) applications. The conventional method to realize the crystal−amorphous transformation in PCM is to heat the material above its melting point by an electrical pulse, after which it is quenched by sudden removal of the pulse. However, such a method requires very large current densities, which results in massive parasitic heat losses and also accelerated failure of the device. On the other hand, it has been recently shown that resistance switching in PCM systems such as superlattices and nanowires can occur at much lower current densities, where the temperature of the material always stays below its melting point. In-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies on nanowires, with a growth direction aligned with the dislocation slip system, have shown that the resistance change occurs by a dislocation-templated amorphization process. However, the resistance switching mechanism in superlattices, which consist of periodically alternating layers of two different PCM materials, has been much debated with many studies claiming it to be an order-to-order transition.In this study, we attempt to further lower the current density for the crystal-amorphous transformation by multiple strategies: pre-inducing defects in the nanowire by a size-mismatched dopant, synthesizing self-assembled compositionally modulated superlattice nanowires, and lastly by utilizing an unconventional flat phonon mode based amorphization mechanism in In2Se3 nanowires. Furthermore, we utilize TEM extensively to correlate the structural and electrical resistance changes in these nanowires, which reveal several interesting characteristics. The resistance switching mechanism in the superlattice nanowires is found to be an order-disorder transition, contrary to what is proposed in literature. Ab-initio simulations indicate that such an amorphization occurs with the aid of large concentration of vacancies in this material. On the other hand, In2Se3 PCM are found to undergo a collapse of long-range order by a d.c. voltage, but at intermediate voltage range, nucleation of topological dislocation occurs suggesting a possible charge density wave in this material. Overall, in this work, synthesis of novel nanowires is combined with ex-situ TEM experiments to uncover the structure-property correlations in the PCM materials, which is otherwise difficult to perform in thin-film PCM devices

    MODi: A powerful and convenient web server for identifying multiple post-translational peptide modifications from tandem mass spectra

    No full text
    MODi (http://modi.uos.ac.kr/modi/) is a powerful and convenient web service that facilitates the interpretation of tandem mass spectra for identifying post-translational modifications (PTMs) in a peptide. It is powerful in that it can interpret a tandem mass spectrum even when hundreds of modification types are considered and the number of potential PTMs in a peptide is large, in contrast to most of the methods currently available for spectra interpretation that limit the number of PTM sites and types being used for PTM analysis. For example, using MODi, one can consider for analysis both the entire PTM list published on the unimod webpage (http://www.unimod.org) and user-defined PTMs simultaneously, and one can also identify multiple PTM sites in a spectrum. MODi is convenient in that it can take various input file formats such as .mzXML, .dta, .pkl and .mgf files, and it is equipped with a graphical tool called MassPective developed to display MODi's output in a user-friendly manner and helps users understand MODi's output quickly. In addition, one can perform manual de novo sequencing using MassPective. © The Author 2006. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved

    Transforming the unbound elephant to the lovable Asian hulk: Why is modi leveraging India’s soft power?

    No full text
    © 2016 The Round Table Ltd. Prime Minister Modi’s administration has renewed emphasis on highlighting India’s soft power resources such as yoga, democratic values, spirituality, etc. Modi has also launched an aggressive public relations and marketing campaign to boost India’s economic growth. This article examines the role and importance of soft power resources in Modi’s foreign policy. The author argues that Modi is applying a two-pronged strategy of simultaneously adopting an aggressive sales pitch to boost India’s economic growth and leveraging India’s soft power to mitigate potential threats emanating from the country’s growing hard power. While soft power resources generally supplement a state’s hard power towards achieving foreign policy goals, Modi is using India’s soft power to draw attention away from the state’s rising military power. While India is enhancing its existing military power, Modi is engaging India’s neighbours and other great powers to ensure that its rise is intended to be peaceful, non-threatening and entirely benevolent. This is in stark contrast to how Asian states as well as the world perceive China’s rise. This article also questions the effectiveness of this strategy and predicts that this strategy should bode well for India in maintaining its international reputation and relationships

    The ongoing acts of terrorism by JeM threatened the security and resilience of the Indian state, so the then prime minister of India, Narendra Modi, made a resolution to eliminate and fight all forms of JeM terrorism. This research aims to find out how the Indian government's strategy during the Narendra Modi era in overcoming JeM terrorism. The research method used is descriptive method and data collection is done by library research. The author uses the concept of Counter-Terrorism proposed by Barry R. Posen which consists of efforts to form alliances and cooperation, increase resilience and offensive efforts. India formed alliances and cooperation with several international organizations such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, BRICS, Financial Action Task Force (FATF), UN, and also with Pakistan. The improvement of defense capabilities was carried out by the Indian government with efforts to increase the number of NSG personnel and weapons through the purchase of SIG 716 G2 rifles and Rafale fighter jets, as well as increasing the ability of personnel in the field of counter-terrorism through military training such as indra and yudh abhyas exercises. Offensive efforts were made by India through India's Surgical Strike Across the Line of Control 2016 and The Indian Air Force Airstrike on Balakot in 2019 in response to attacks from J-E-M terrorism. All efforts made by India in overcoming J-E-M terrorism are in accordance with the theory of Counter-Terrorism proposed by Barry R. Posen. Keywords: JeM Terrorism, Counter-Terrorism, Narendra Modi
