SUMMARY:UCLA/CESMII Presentation on Singularity Container
DESCRIPTION:Singularity in many ways is similar to Docker container which many of you are familiar. The high performance computing community tends to favor Singularity over Docker because Singularity has a better control over security compared to Docker.  In the past presentation we have looked into the security issues on Docker.  So\, we won’t be looking at that again. This presentation will be mainly on Singularity and will be on a Ubuntu 18.04 OS host system.  It will be pretty much same on a CentOS 8 host. \nPresentation materials are available here.\n\nPlease attend the technical presentation on Tuesday\, November 5th 10:00 am in room 3909 MSA if you have free time. No RSVP required. \n\nIf you have questions regarding this presentation\, contact Prakashan Korambath.

Recent research and media coverage also shows that parents are increasingly choosing to not vaccinate their children. Factors isolated by researchers include: a lack of understanding of how the vaccine works\, religious or philosophical objections\, fear of government control in areas of personal choice\, concern about safety and/or efficacy\, beliefs that vaccine-preventable diseases do not pose a serious health risk\, certainty that alternative treatments are superior\, concerns that vaccines are promoted for the sake of financial gain\, and belief that vaccines are not “natural.” \nThis presentation explores vernacular beliefs and practices that surround decisions to not vaccinate with the primary aim of providing concrete recommendations for improving inoculation promotion programs. The rationale of this work is consistent with a number of studies that apply vernacular health belief research to health education and health promotion policy. These studies use as their central premise the notion that health education must be based on community understandings of risk\, and that such understandings require ethnographic investigation. Ideally\, health education programs are community-based; involve collaborative partnerships between communities\, researchers\, and service providers; and make use of local concerns. Understanding health choices is dependent on exploring the variety of cultural concerns and influences that constitute risk for the communities and individuals in question. Risk categories and risk perception are multifaceted\, culture-bound\, personal\, and political. \nMy research draws on ethnography\, media\, Internet\, and narrative analyses to explore the vernacular explanatory models used in inoculation decision-making. The majority of knowledge\, belief\, and behavior studies on inoculation decision-making are based on survey-style self-report. As has been shown consistently with health risks\, risk perception is not easily accessed through survey methods\, but requires the greater ethnographic and qualitative study that a folklorist can provide. In order to even begin to understand this language\, ethnographic research skills are necessary as vaccination narratives are presented and communicated in a variety of ways through the use of traditional narratives and beliefs. The most common genres used in vaccination discourse are contemporary legends\, rumor\, and personal experience narratives\, or in some cases\, a combination of the three. \n  \nHidden Agendas for Online Vaccination: Trolls\, Bots & Misinformation \nDavid Broniatowski\nGeorge Washington University \nAbstract: This talk will cover the ways in which state-sponsored and profit-seeking entities use health communication about vaccines on social media to accomplish a variety of malicious tasks\, including promoting discord\, spreading malware\, and spamming. We will cover the different types of malicious actors on Twitter and the specific ways these are used to achieve the goals identified above\, and some promising theoretical approaches to combating them. \n  \nVaccine Refusal and the Culture of Individualist Parenting \nJennifer A. Reich\nUniversity of Colorado Denver \nAbstract: Parents who reject some or all vaccines are often described as ignorant\, anti-science\, selfish\, or even delusional about the seriousness of vaccine-preventable diseases. Yet these popular views may not capture the more complex processes that lead some parents to opt out of vaccines for their children. Using data from in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation with parents who refuse some or all vaccines\, I argue that vaccine refusal is in many ways a logical response to cultural pressures that expect parents to actively manage consumption decisions and curate opportunities for their children\, which include intense efforts to evaluate risk and benefit to children’s health. I conclude by suggesting some paths forward to support a parenting culture of shared responsibility that in turn could increase participation in public health interventions like childhood vaccination. \n  \nConceptualizing disinformation campaigns as collaborative work in online communities  \nKate Starbird\nUniversity of Washington \nAbstract: The pervasive spread of mis- and disinformation in online spaces is a critical concern for society. Broadly\, these dynamics function to reduce trust in democratic institutions\, including government\, media\, and science. They also have more specific and direct effects. For example\, the spread of misinformation about vaccines is now having measurable (negative) impacts on public health. In this talk\, I will situate the vaccine “debate” (or anti-vaccine movement) within a broader online ecosystem of mis- and disinformation. Using case studies of political disinformation\, I will describe how online activist communities (generally) can become targets and vectors of political disinformation—and how they integrate diverse actors with diverse motivations (from ideological to political to financial) into seemingly organic action. I will also show how anti-vaccine activism and discourse intersects with other disinformation campaigns\, including political disinformation with ties to specific state actors. \n  \nDoes Mommy Really Know Best? Testing Source and Narrative Format Efficacy to Combat Childhood Vaccine Misinformation \nSheila T. Murphy and Ashley L. Phelps\,\nUniversity of Southern California (USC) \nAbstract: Pro-vaccine messages correcting misinformation about vaccines by highlighting the risks of illness are ineffective in changing vaccine hesitant attitudes. Rather attitudes about childhood vaccinations are heavily influenced by injunctive (what one should do) and descriptive (what others are doing) norms. A 2×2 experiment tests the relative efficacy of a similar (mommy vlogger) versus an expert source (female pediatrician) and information format (narrative testimonial versus nonnarrative tutorial) using an increasingly popular format for health information\, YouTube. \n  \nOnline manipulation and public health: challenges and approaches  \nEmilio Ferrara\nUniversity of Southern California (USC) \nAbstract: Online misinformation is endemic of social media\, and bots and trolls have been exacerbating the spread of inaccurate information. Their influence has been shown in domains from politics to finance\, and public health is no exception: conspiracy theories\, anti-science and unscientific content about vaccines\, epidemic outbreaks\, tobacco\, and other health-related rumors can have adverse effects and contribute toward public health crises. I will illustrate the problem of public health misinformation with use cases that include an early study of the Ebola 2014 outbreak\, recent vaccine debates on various platforms\, the role of bots in the tobacco-related product promotion\, and finally provide computational tools to combat online misinformation\, detect bots and trolls\, and characterize their activity\, behavior\, and strategies. \n  \nLegal Remedies to the Vaccine Crisis: What we can\, and what we should do \nDorit Rubinstein Reiss\nUC Hastings College of law \nAbstract: This presentation will address the range of legal options facing states\, starting from the basic position that states have extensive leeway to regulate to increase childhood vaccines. It will address potential legal limits posed by the First Amendment\, states rights to education\, and parental rights\, suggest a continuum of option\, and end with several considerations to guide the appropriate legislative choices. \n

SUMMARY:Intro to GIS: Getting started with spatial research
DESCRIPTION:As members of an academic community with a myriad of research initiatives\, the need to map information\, to spatially analyze\, to geoprocess\, and to visualize space and time is becoming ubiquitous. But how do you get started? The answer to this question largely depends on what you want to map\, and how you want to create your map. The what is usually easy. It is driven by your passion to pursue a research question and to have maps assist in the development of an argument. The how is the difficult part. It may depend on what data you have\, what tools you have access to\, how comfortable you are with software packages\, if you are open to write code or use the command line. Often times\, your research question lends itself to a spatial argument. However\, providing insights to questions using spatial visualization tools is a process that involves any number of factors\, including: data acquisition\, data cleanup\, geo-enabling data\, geocoding data\, georeferencing data\, visualizing spatial data\, overlaying other spatial data\, conducting spatial analysis and/or geoprocessing\, analyzing results\, visualizing results\, and publishing results. There is no single application that can accomplish every phase of your spatial process. In this hands-on workshop\, learn how to think spatially\, and experiment with a variety of tools that may expand and enable your research through spatial discovery. \nThere are no pre-requisite requirements to take this workshop\, but please make sure to RSVP! Space is limited. \nIf you have questions regarding the workshop\, please contact the instructor Yoh Kawano.
