what do they mean by hip to knee ratio?

how much the hip and knees are involved in the squat. (without having read the paper admittedly but usually that's what it means)

Is it a poster presentation at a conference? looks like it to me.

If it is, be careful with their conculsions, because it is not peer reviewed or interpretation might be subject to change.

"Deeper squats should be implemented when both hip and knee extensor-strength is desired."

if it's anything like my field, a poster presentation is usually done by grad students or otherwise lower-on-the-food-chain researchers. so it's conclusions are tentative at best, compared to published research. (however, the peer review process has it's own set of problems...)

but the conclusion accord with what many here recommend: deeper squats take pressure off the knees compared to parallel or above-parallel.
