A Review of North Carolina Public Health Response to Novel Influenza A (H1N1)
Creators: name: Flagge, Judith
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Pandemic influenza is a global outbreak of disease that occurs when a new influenza A virus appears in humans, causes serious illness and then spreads easily from person to person worldwide. Three major influenza pandemics swept the globe in the 20th century causing millions of deaths. With the emergence of SARS in 2003 and the variant avian influenza H5N1 in 2005, the federal, state and local governments have spent immense amounts of time, money and human resources on efforts to plan for the complex issues and serious impact of a new influenza pandemic. Plans developed were modeled on an all hazards emergency preparedness templates that were used successfully by those responding to natural/or man-made chemical and fire emergencies. Until the spring of 2009, these plans were not effectively challenged beyond local or regional communicable disease outbreaks. On April 23, 2009, the NC-HAN (Health Alert Network) sent a high priority message across the state of North Carolina indicating CDC reported 7 cases of new variant swine influenza A (H1N1) infection among residents of Southern California and Texas. All infected persons recovered. Within 24 hours, the number of new US cases began to escalate and more cases in Mexico associated with deaths were reported. The newest pandemic challenged and tested North Carolina local public health system’s ability to respond to a widespread communicable event. This offered an opportunity to examine plans and response through the review of events and reports from NC state, regional and local public health agencies. What was found was a reassurance that the framework of initial response is intact, plans are workable and partnerships to extend local resources are in place. Equally, there is a need to continue to improve and refine the plans, processes and infrastructure to utilize these measures to prevent and contain disease spread and to minimize poor health outcomes in people.

description: This research investigates the experience of twenty pairs of parents from the moment in which it was communicated to them the news of their son’s disability to the entrance into the world of nursery school. The experiences were collected through in-depth interview and analyzed using a phenomenological approach aims to give back as much as possible, the point of view of the participants. The results were again discussed with families during a focus group that allowed for a greater sharing of experiences. The results show the presence of three major nodes that are common to the different feelings: the difficulty in understanding “what is wrong with their child”; the effort that distinguishes the comparison with the normality of the other children and the doubt that calls into question whether only children with disability have special needs.

description: Identifying concentrations of components from an observed mixture is a fundamental problem in signal processing. It has diverse applications in fields ranging from hyperspectral imaging to denoising biomedical sensors. This paper focuses on in-silico deconvolution of signals associated with complex tissues into their constitutive cell-type specific components, along with a quantitative characterization of the cell-types. Deconvolving mixed tissues/cell-types is useful in the removal of contaminants (e.g., surrounding cells) from tumor biopsies, as well as in monitoring changes in the cell population in response to treatment or infection. In these contexts, the observed signal from the mixture of cell-types is assumed to be a linear combination of the expression levels of genes in constitutive cell-types. The goal is to use known signals corresponding to individual cell-types along with a model of the mixing process to cast the deconvolution problem as a suitable optimization problem. In this paper, we present a survey of models, methods, and assumptions underlying deconvolution techniques. We investigate the choice of the different loss functions for evaluating estimation error, constraints on solutions, preprocessing and data filtering, feature selection, and regularization to enhance the quality of solutions, along with the impact of these choices on the performance of regression-based methods for deconvolution. We assess different combinations of these factors and use detailed statistical measures to evaluate their effectiveness. We identify shortcomings of current methods and avenues for further investigation. For many of the identified shortcomings, such as normalization issues and data filtering, we provide new solutions. We summarize our findings in a prescriptive step-by-step process, which can be applied to a wide range of deconvolution problems.

Medication Congruence among Patients in a Primary Care Network Serving North Carolina Medicaid Patients
Creators: name: Olson, Matthew D.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Context: In its 2001 report on health care quality, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) stated that most medical records are disorganized, illegible, and inaccessible. The IOM targeted safety for improvement, emphasizing that patient information be more available and accessible. In light of the IOM report, this study sought to assess characteristics associated with completeness of medication documentation. Objective: Medication congruence is the percent agreement between two medication lists. The objective of our study was to assess medication congruence between the primary care physician (PCP) chart and pharmacy claims (used as a proxy for the patient’s medication list) in a broad range of primary care practices. A secondary objective was to identify practice and patient factors associated with medication congruence. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Setting: Eight primary care practices—four private practices, two community health centers, and two academic practices—within a network of 30 practices serving Medicaid patients in four North Carolina counties. Four of the practices used paper PCP charts, and four used electronic medical records (EMR). Participants: One hundred Medicaid patients with at least three providers in six months or at least 15 prescription fills in 90 days, selected from eight practices. Instrument: Electronic pharmacy claims and chart review, including medication list, problem list, visit notes, and correspondence for one year. Outcome Measures: Congruence between pharmacy claims and primary care physician (PCP) medication list or complete chart. Congruence was measured as agreement of pharmacy claims with PCP medication list only (C1) and with entire PCP chart (C2). Secondary outcomes included practice and patient characteristics associated with congruence. Results: C1 and C2 were 53.8% and 64.6% agreement, respectively (p for difference<0.001). C1 was associated with number of chronic conditions (p<0.001), type of medical chart (p<0.001), and type of primary care practice (p=0.017). C2 was associated with number of chronic conditions (p<0.001), and number of medications (p=0.012). Conclusions: Medication congruence in PCP charts is low in a broad spectrum of primary practice settings—private practice, academic clinics, and community health centers—by both measures used in this study. Whether using the PCP current medication list (our C1 measure) or a more thorough chart review (our C2 measure), medication congruence is low; however, more complete medication information can be gleaned from a thorough chart review than from the current medication list alone. Documentation improves with use of electronic medical records and increasing number of chronic conditions. Community health centers showed superior documentation relative to private practices.
Eating Disorders in Instagram. Making Visible the Invisible

description: Very little is known about how people recover from an eating disorder. This is an urgent issue because the rates of treatment abandon and relapse are high among people with these mental illnesses. Anorexia and bulimia are the most well-known eating disorders but other equally common eating disorders exist that can cause the same level of distress and physical deterioration. Eating Disorders are commonly associated with young, white adolescent women; however, research shows that men and people from different ethnic backgrounds can have eating disorders, too. People with eating disorders use social networks to share and communicate their experiences with these illnesses. Hence, social networks can provide useful information that can help us better understand less wellknown eating disorders, the experiences of men and people from different backgrounds and how recovery works. This thesis studies eating disorders recovery from the perspective of the people dealing with these conditions, studying their daily life with, and their knowledge of, these illnesses as shared in the social network Instagram. Eating disorders are commonly associated with thinness; however, there is evidence linking eating disorders, stigma and stressful and traumatic life events. This thesis tackles eating disorders as personal life experiences and explores other factors influencing eating disorders beyond thinness, studying how negative life events and stigmatising stereotypes can shape people’s experiences with these illnesses. This thesis looks at people with eating disorders’ perspectives on recovery and strategies to recover and the influence that social relationships have in this process to better understand how eating disorders recovery works in practice. The findings suggest that people using Instagram to communicate their experiences with eating disorders understand recovery as a non-linear process and consider that medical recovery, defined as weight restoring, is not a longterm recovery but a necessary step to real recovery. Real recovery for them, in contrast, usually involves a deep personal change.
The educational relationship between parents and children in the thinking of Giovanni Bollea
Creators: name: Sarsini, Daniela
Publisher: name: Rivista Italiana di Educazione Familiare
Year: 2015

description: The article examines the thinking of Giovanni Bollea on the educational relationship between parents and children. By outlining the concepts of education, formation and instruction, the author clarifies the nexus between formation and care running through Bollea’s work. Formation meant as care also signifies ‘mutual growth’, and therefore not just the growth of the children, but of the parents as well. Hence, the family is a transforming system and at the same time a ‘support network’ for its members. The paper concludes by underlining Bollea’s attention to play activities in promoting children’s wellbeing.

description: OBJECTIVES: To develop a disease stratification model for COVID-19 that updates according to changes in a patient's condition while in hospital to facilitate patient management and resource allocation. DESIGN: In this retrospective cohort study, we adopted a landmarking approach to dynamic prediction of all-cause in-hospital mortality over the next 48 hours. We accounted for informative predictor missingness and selected predictors using penalised regression. SETTING: All data used in this study were obtained from a single UK teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS: We developed the model using 473 consecutive patients with COVID-19 presenting to a UK hospital between 1 March 2020 and 12 September 2020; and temporally validated using data on 1119 patients presenting between 13 September 2020 and 17 March 2021. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome is all-cause in-hospital mortality within 48 hours of the prediction time. We accounted for the competing risks of discharge from hospital alive and transfer to a tertiary intensive care unit for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. RESULTS: Our final model includes age, Clinical Frailty Scale score, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation/fractional inspired oxygen ratio, white cell count, presence of acidosis (pH <7.35) and interleukin-6. Internal validation achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) of 0.90 (95% CI 0.87 to 0.93) and temporal validation gave an AUROC of 0.86 (95% CI 0.83 to 0.88). CONCLUSIONS: Our model incorporates both static risk factors (eg, age) and evolving clinical and laboratory data, to provide a dynamic risk prediction model that adapts to both sudden and gradual changes in an individual patient's clinical condition. On successful external validation, the model has the potential to be a powerful clinical risk assessment tool.

How to manage something in Bavarian German: The verbal prefix 'der-'
Creators: name: Majdič, Jakob
name: Zobel, Sarah

Year: 2022

description: The intuitive semantic contribution of the Bavarian German verbal prefix der- is usually paraphrased with either manage or be able to (e.g., Pia der-zieht den Wagen, ‘Pia {manages / is able}to pull the cart.’). While existing work has emphasized the relation of der- to its ability paraphrase (Sonnenhauser, 2009, 2012), we show that its semantic properties are much closer (though not identical) to that of manage: (i) der- gives rise to inference patterns that mirror those of manage and (ii) like manage but unlike be able to, predicates built from verbs prefixed by der- interact with temporal adverbials in the same way as achievement predicates. We take these results at face value and propose that der- introduces an event boundary to the event described by its semantic argument, thereby creating an achievement predicate. We argue that der- contributes projective content regarding the agent’s commitment and the difficulty of performing the event described by its argument.

description: This document is to provide insight into how the MySQL database is utilized and accessed in the Lone Cabbage Reef (LCR) restoration project. The MySQL database is a custom database specifically for water quality observations, both continuous and discrete. Development of the database was led by the UF Marston Library Academic Research Computing group. The database was motivated by the need to store data from multiple water quality variables collected on an hourly basis from an array of water quality sensors. These sensors were deployed at specific water quality stations that were identified locations to track water quality responses to the LCR restoration project and other factors such as changes in Suwannee River discharge. In this instance the location of the sensor was critically important, not the individual sensor (identified by serial number) itself, because we recognized that the sensor at a given location may change over time due to sensor malfunction or loss. This created a need in the database where all data collected from individual sensors had to be linked to the correct water quality station even as individual sensors at a given water quality station may have changed over time. Tables in the databased are linked together by columns, by location (location_id) and sensor serial number (sensor_id). This is not always the case, and those links and connections will be described later in this document. This structure links tables together such that the tables inform each other and help to create data integrity standards within the database, and to track the movement of specific sensors in specific locations[bp1] . This MySQL database will by design store all water quality observations regardless of their initial reliability. During the initial water quality import process (through Python coding), checks such as duplicate observation are flagged and are described in the import process output report. Additional QA/QC steps are performed after the fact in R.
Systematic Review: The relationship between literacy/health literacy and health outcomes, analyzed by race
Creators: name: Burnett, Otis Benjamin, IV
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Objective: To review the relationship between literacy/health literacy levels and health outcomes, when analyzed by race. Data Sources: Seven databases were chosen as the source of articles/data for this systematic review. These included Pub med I Medline, CINAHL, lSI Web of Knowledge, Psych INFO, The Cochrane Library, ERIC, and SPORT Discus. Using a key word list, consisting of terms pertaining to race, literacy, health outcomes, each database was searched for articles focusing on literacy/health literacy, health outcomes, and race analyzed in a logistic regression model I multivariate analysis. Data Extraction: The primary author reviewed and abstracted data independently of the first and second readers. All decisions concerning article inclusion or exclusion were made by the author, although, the first reader did review the articles retained for final analysis. Data Synthesis: An initial search of all databases produced a total of 806 articles for review. 724 articles were excluded based on title and abstract review leaving 81 articles, 75 of were excluded after a full text review leaving 6 articles that met the study criteria. Three of the six studies failed to answer the study question, and one of the studies answering the study question was eliminated due to a lack of internal validity. In the end 2 articles were retained for final analysis. Both of the retained studies were retrospective cohort studies, of fair quality due to a high potential of selection bias and fair to poor identification of potential confounders. Over all however, when literacy was controlled for, it accounted for 2-60% or the disparity in health outcomes between minorities and non-minorities currently attributed to race. Conclusion: Low health literacy is associated with increased rates and severity of adverse outcomes, and that when health literacy is controlled or adjusted for the predictive power of race on adverse health outcomes was significantly reduced by 2-60%.

description: INTRODUCTION: Pain is a common and debilitating symptom in survivors of critical illness. The 'Core Outcome Set for Survivors of Acute Respiratory Failure' proposes that the pain and discomfort question of the EuroQol 5 Dimension 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) could be used to assess pain in this group, however, it was recognised that further research is required to evaluate how this single question compares to other more detailed pain tools. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the pain and discomfort question of the EQ-5D-5L and the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) in survivors of critical illness. METHODS: This study retrospectively analysed paired EQ-5D-5L and BPI data extracted from a prospective, multicentre study evaluating the impact of a critical care recovery programme. 172 patients who received a complex recovery intervention and 108 patients who did not receive this intervention were included. Data were available for the intervention cohort at multiple time points, namely, baseline, 3 months and 12 months. While, data were available for the usual care cohort at a single time point (12 months). We assessed the correlation between the pain and discomfort question of the EQ-5D-5L and two separate components of the BPI: severity of pain and pain interference. RESULTS: Correlation coefficients comparing the pain and discomfort question of the EQ-5D-5L and the BPI pain severity score ranged between 0.73 (95% CI 0.63 to 0.80) and 0.80 (95% CI 0.72 to 0.86). Correlation coefficients comparing the pain and discomfort question of the EQ-5D-5L and the BPI pain interference score ranged between 0.71 (95% CI 0.62 to 0.79) and 0.83 (95% CI 0.76 to 0.88) across the various time points. CONCLUSIONS: The pain and discomfort question of the EQ-5D-5L correlates moderately well with a more detailed pain tool and may help to streamline assessments in survivorship studies. More in-depth tools may be of use where pain is the primary study outcome or a patient-reported concern.
A lower bound on the data rate of dirty paper coding in general noise and interference

description: Dirty paper coding (DPC) allows a transmitter to send information to a receiver in the presence of interference that is known (non-causally) to the transmitter. The original version of DPC was derived for the case where the noise and the interference are statistically independent Gaussian random sequences. More recent works extended this approach to the case where the noise and the interference are mutually independent and at least one of them is Gaussian. In this letter we further extend the DPC scheme by relaxing the Gaussian and statistical independence assumptions. We provide lower bounds on the achievable data rates in a DPC setting for the case of possibly dependent noise, interference and input signals. Also, the interference and noise terms are allowed to have arbitrary probability distributions. The bounds are relatively simple, are phrased in terms of second-order statistics, and are tight when the actual noise distribution is close to Gaussian.

description: A multi-task learning (MTL) framework, called gradient kernel ridge regression, for nuclear masses and separation energies is developed by introducing gradient kernel functions to the kernel ridge regression (KRR) approach. By taking the WS4 mass model as an example, the gradient KRR network is trained with the mass model residuals, i.e., deviations between experimental and theoretical values of masses and one-nucleon separation energies, to improve the accuracy of theoretical predictions. Significant improvements are achieved by the gradient KRR approach in both the interpolation and the extrapolation predictions of nuclear masses and separation energies. This demonstrates the advantage of the present MTL framework that integrates the information of nuclear masses and separation energies and improves the predictions for both of them.

description: This paper aims to add to the longstanding debate on the relation between subjunctive and indicative mood in conditional sentences. In doing so, the theoretical range is narrowed down to three options, each of which takes at least one of the two moods to be presuppositional. Based on an experiment reported in (Wimmer, 2020), we take a few steps towards a competition-based analysis on which the subjunctive is vacuous (Schlenker, 2005; Leahy, 2011, 2018), contrary to its morphological markedness.

Testing Bayesian measures of relevance in discourse

Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2022

description: Despite their popularity among linguists, categorical notions of relevance based on partial answerhood have well-known problems. Gradient information-theoretic measures of utility adopted in cognitive modeling, on the other hand, have not been tested as measures of relevance in discourse. We begin to fill this gap by experimentally evaluating two gradient measures of question under discussion (QUD) relevance in question-answer pairs in comparison to the categorical theory: entropy reduction, which measures the degree to which an answer decreases uncertainty about the resolution of the QUD; and KL divergence, which measures the degree to which an answer changes the probability distribution over the alternatives. Our experiments provide decisive evidence against the categorical theory of relevance, but do not give strong support to any one gradient measure. Both KL divergence and entropy reduction have systematic failure modes, and are less predictive of relevance judgments than comparatively unmotivated measures like the difference between prior and posterior. We outline several criteria for an adequate gradient theory of relevance, and identify candidate measures for future investigation.

A seeming violation to the monotonicity constraint in Spanish verbal comparatives
Creators: name: Toquero-Pérez, Luis Miguel
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2022

description: Spanish verbal comparatives with (correr más ‘run more’) can be interpreted in terms of SPEED with a subset of manner of motion predicates. This fact poses a challenge to the monotonicity constraint (Schwarzschild, 2006) because SPEED is not a part-whole structure preserving dimension unlike DURATION. I argue that the data are best explained if más combines with an underspecified measure function that is not restricted to be only resolved by quantity part-whole tracking dimensions. I argue that the resolution of this null measure function is syntactically determined.

description: Using black brane solutions in 5d Lifshitz-like backgrounds with arbitrary dynamical exponent $ν$, we construct the Vaidya geometry, asymptoting to the Lifshitz-like spacetime, which represents a thin shell infalling at the speed of light. We apply the new Lifshitz-Vaidya background to study the thermalization process of the quark-gluon plasma via the thin shell approach previously successfully used in several backgrounds. We find that the thermalization depends on the chosen direction because of the spatial anisotropy. The plasma thermalizes thus faster in the transversal direction than in the longitudinal one. To probe the system described by the Lifshitz-like backgrounds, we also calculate the holographic entanglement entropy for the subsystems delineated along both transversal and longitudinal directions. We show that the entropy has some universality in the behavior for both subsystems. At the same time, we find that certain characteristics strongly depend on the critical exponent $ν$.

description: We present an analysis of measure phrases such as heap/ounce of information in which the measure expression receives a non-literal, metaphorical interpretation. We present evidence that these metaphorical measure expressions, as we call them, exhibit a puzzling in- complete countability pattern insofar as their grammatical reflexes fall between count and mass nouns. We show that nouns/NPs with such an incomplete countability pattern are predicted by, and are easily captured within, the theory of the count/mass distinction presented in Sutton and Filip (2019b, 2020).

description: Background In the search to optimize care of type II diabetics, computers have become an integral part of patient care. Clinical information systems are computerized systems that are increasingly being used in the medical field. Objective To examine the effectiveness of computerized clinical information systems on improving both physician management processes and patient outcomes in the management of type II DM compared to usual care with no system. Research Design and Methods This is a systematic review of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT), Clinical Controlled Trials (CCT), and Controlled Before and After Studies (CBA) evaluating the effectiveness of clinical information systems used by health professionals in optimizing care for type II diabetics. The MEDLINE database (1994-2004) was searched using keywords: type II diabetes and primary care, community care, or outpatient care. All articles that contained studies involving interventions in outpatient settings, directed at providers, and involving one component of computerized clinical information systems (diabetes registry, point-of-care reminder, feedback) were included in the review. Results A total of 6 studies met the inclusion criteria. Studies were RCTs, CCTs, or CBAs. All studies involved diabetes registries, 5 included physician feedback, and two involved computerized reminders. The quality of the studies ranged from good to poor, with only one study receiving a poor quality assessment. The clinical information systems showed marked improvement in the process of care for diabetic patients by providers. Yet, there was much less of a positive effect on actual patient outcomes. Conclusions Professional interventions that include clinical information systems will improve the process of care for diabetic patients. The effect of clinical information systems on patient outcomes is minimal. Longer studies in the future may reveal better patient outcomes as well as prolonged provider adherence to protocols.

description: We study the problem of decoupling of heavy chiral superfields in four-dimensional $N=1$ supersymmetric field theories with Lorentz-invariant and Lorentz-violating higher-derivative terms. We demonstrate that the earlier found effect of large logarithmic quantum corrections, due to heavy chiral superfields, takes place not only if the theory possesses quantum divergences, but also for essentially finite theories involving higher derivative terms, both Lorentz-invariant and Lorentz-breaking ones.

description: A collection of Jenner's three treatises on vaccination: An inquiry, &c. &c. -- Further observations on the variolæ vaccinæ -- A continuation of facts and observations relative to the variolæ vaccinæ. The first announces the efficacy of cow pox vaccination in preventing smallpox; the second contains his replies to critics; and the third provides further examples of effective vaccinations. The main work was originally published in London in 1798. 'Further observations on the variolæ vaccinæ' (pages [65]-139) and, 'A continuation of facts and observations relative to the variolæ vaccinæ' (pages [141]-182) were separately published in London in 1799 and 1800, respectively. The second essay ('Further observations on the variolae vaccinae') includes an Advertisement by the author, not included in the original publication. Plates engraved by William Skelton after his and Edward Pearce's designs; coloured by W. Cuff. Inscription on page i (first half-title): "Wm. B. Rogers to A.D. Gale - July 1834". William Barton Rogers, former owner Dr. P.K. Rogers' second son, established the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Former owner Dr. Patrick Kerr Rogers was an Irish physician who emigrated to Philadelphia in 1798, and who published papers in defense of smallpox inoculation (variolation) in preference to vaccination. His consulting library was formed of medical and technical works from his own collection.
Croyances et attention visuelle

description: La présente étude vise à étudier la relation qui pourrait exister entre le fait d’adhérer à différents types de croyances (religieuses, magiques, superstitieuses, paranormales et surnaturelles) et des phénomènes de plus bas niveau, notamment ceux qui régissent certaines caractéristiques de l’attention visuelle. Des recherches antérieures ont suggéré l’existence d’un lien entre le niveau de croyance et le déploiement de l’attention visuelle (Colzato, 2008; Van Elk, 2015). En s’appuyant sur la notion de schéma (Bartlett, 1932; Schützwohl, 1998), Bressan, Kramer et Germani (2008) ont montré que les personnes ayant des croyances religieuses et une tendance à attribuer du sens à des coïncidences pouvant s’expliquer par le simple hasard étaient plus surprises lors de la présentation d’un évènement inattendu, violant un schéma préalablement appris. À l’aide d’une manipulation informatique visant à engendrer une capture attentionnelle chez le sujet ainsi que plusieurs questionnaires mesurant diverses croyances (religieuses, magiques, superstitieuses, paranormales et surnaturelles), nous cherchons à répliquer l’étude de Bressan et al. (2008).
Transformation of Transitions of Care in an ACA/ACO Environment
Creators: name: Tsipis, Nick
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Narrative Abstract: In the practice of modern emergency medicine (EM), transitions of care (TOC) have taken a prominent role. In this era of health care reform, TOC have become a focal point of improvement initiatives across the continuum of care. This study included a comprehensive examination of various regulatory, accreditation, and policy-based elements with which EM physicians interact in their practice. The content has been divided into five domains, shown in Figure 1 below: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME), The Joint Commission (TJC), The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), National Quality Forum (NQF), and Accountable Care Organizations (ACO). This work is meant to be a manual about TOC, tailored for EM Physicians. It includes: • "Can't miss" current regulations and standards from a variety of entities that are most likely to impact the day-to-day practice of most EM physicians, • An examination of consequences of these inputs as well as how they could be used to shape the future of the practice of Emergency Medicine, and • A comparison of interventions aimed at implementing programs to improve TOC, including evidence from the literature, practical examples, and proposed recommendations. Emergency Departments must develop, implement, and monitor TOC programs and processes that provide seamless and efficient care as their patients transfer between settings. This work provides a framework for that effort and will help EM physicians continue to take the lead in improving TOC and shape the future of modern EM practice.
Contradiction and ellipsis licensing with voice mismatch and symmetry
Creators: name: Stockwell, Richard
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2022

description: Previous research has attributed differences in the acceptability of verb phrase ellipsis (VPE) with voice mismatch to processing effects (Arregui et al., 2006; Grant et al., 2012). This paper argues that they can instead be accounted for in terms of a standard, focus-based (Rooth, 1992a) condition on ellipsis (Rooth, 1992b), supplemented with the principle that ellipsis licensing cannot be contradictory. This perspective is compatible with voice-mismatched VPE being fundamentally grammatical (Merchant, 2013; cf. Hardt, 1993) rather than ungrammatical (e.g., Kim and Runner, 2018). It also encompasses other focus-based factors modulating voice-mismatched VPE, leading to conclusions regarding the interaction of implicit arguments with VPE (Overfelt to appear), and extends to an instance of VPE with symmetrical predicates (Stockwell, 2017, 2020).

description: We theoretically investigate the electronic and magneto-optical properties of rectangular, hexangular, and triangular monolayer phosphorene quantum dots (MPQDs) utilizing the tight-binding method. The electronic states, density of states, electronic density distribution, and Laudau levels as well as the optical absorption spectrum are calculated numerically. Our calculations show that: (1) edge states appear in the band gap in all kinds of MPQDs regardless of their shapes and edge configurations due to the anisotropic electron hopping in monolayer phosphorene (MLP). Electrons in any edge state appear only in the armchair direction of the dot boundary, which is distinct from that in graphene quantum dots; (2) the magnetic levels of MPQDs exhibit a Hofstadter-butterfly spectrum and approach the Landau levels of MLP as the magnetic field increases . A "flat band" appears in the magneto-energy spectrum which is totally different from that of MLP; (3) the electronic and optical properties can be tuned by the dot size, the types of boundary edges and the external magnetic field.

Two notions of 'de se' in desire reports
Creators: name: Sode, Frank
Publisher: name: Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung
Year: 2022

description: I argue that de se-interpretations of infinitival complements in attitude reports may involve different notions of de se depending on the type of attitude predicate: ascriptive de se or evaluative de se. While in the case of ascriptive de se, the infinitival denotation is predicated to be true of every centered world in a set of Hintikka-alternatives, in the case of evaluative de se the infinitival denotation is used to characterize a set of centered worlds of which desirability above a certain threshold is predicated. The standard explanation for the de se-constraint on PRO does not carry over to the case of evaluative de se. The grammar of de se has a second source: de se measure functions.
