subject: professional identity

description: Professional identity in physiotherapy relates to the values both personally and professionally developed through learning and patient care as well as through collaborating with other health professionals to form an understanding of their own professional role (Lindquist et al. 2006). Prior to titling as physiotherapist or physical therapist you must undertake a university degree varying from a bachelor’s degree to a doctoral depending on the university; this can be defined as pre- registration physiotherapy curricular. Guidelines for professional entry level education have been developed by the world confederation of physical therapy to provide high standard of clinical education in physical therapy curricular globally. These can be modified dependent on the context of education in that particular individual organization (World Physiotherapy, 2019). There is no unified definition as to how professional identity is shaped in pre-registration physiotherapy curricular and how it is taught. There are education guidelines (World Physiotherapy, 2019) however, there is no gold standard approach to embedding the development of professional identity within a curriculum. This scoping review aims to explore how professional identity is formed and shaped within pre- registration physiotherapy curricula. The specific research question is: 1. Which components of the pre-registration physiotherapy curricular enable students to form and shape their identity as a physiotherapist?

description: This monograph introduces the basic concepts of the theory of causal fermion systems, a recent approach to the description of fundamental physics. The theory yields quantum mechanics, general relativity and quantum field theory as limiting cases and is therefore a candidate for a unified physical theory. From the mathematical perspective, causal fermion systems provide a general framework for describing and analyzing non-smooth geometries and "quantum geometries." The dynamics is described by a novel variational principle, called the causal action principle. In addition to the basics, the book provides all the necessary mathematical background and explains how the causal action principle gives rise to the interactions of the standard model plus gravity on the level of second-quantized fermionic fields coupled to classical bosonic fields. The focus is on getting a mathematically sound connection between causal fermion systems and physical systems in Minkowski space. The book is intended for graduate students entering the field, and is furthermore a valuable reference work for researchers in quantum field theory and quantum gravity.

description: The Interaction Enhanced Imaging technique allows to detect the spatial distribution of strongly interacting impurities embedded within a gas of background atoms used as a contrast medium. Here we present a detailed study of this technique, applied to detect Rydberg $P$ states. We experimentally realize fast and efficient three-photon excitation of $P$ states, optimized according to the results of a theoretical effective two-level model. Few Rydberg $P$-state atoms, prepared in a small cloud with dimensions comparable to the blockade radius, are detected with a good sensitivity by averaging over 50 shots. The main aspects of the technique are described with a hard-sphere model, finding good agreement with experimental data. This work paves the way to a non-destructive optical detection of single Rydberg atoms with high spatial and temporal resolution.

Desolation Blues: The Gothic Trespass in the life and Songwriting of Tennessee Blues Musician Ray Cashman
Creators: name: Bouvéron, Victor
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This thesis explores the pervading feeling of the Gothic in the life and songwriting of Tennessee blues musician Ray Cashman. I argue that Cashman emotionally responds to the South through the framework of the Gothic to assert his identity as a white southern working-class male. As a reader, writer and performer, he trespasses the lines of race and class. The ethnographic fieldwork I conducted in Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina between 2015 and 2017 led me to reflect on the intriguing relationship between blues, southern Gothic literature and white working-class culture in the South. The songs written by Cashman often express a feeling of desolation, bleakness and decay, invoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone time, or describe eerie landscapes and supernatural presences. Cashman also retells southern Gothic stories, like “Snake Feast,” inspired by Harry Crews’s A Feast of Snakes.

description: New blends of simply synthesized quasi two-dimensional (quasi-2D) hydrophobic perovskite semiconductors, employed in high performance light emitting diodes (LEDs) which function due to excitonic energy transfer effects, are reported. These materials are self-assembled blends of 2D, quasi-2D and three-dimensional (3D) hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductors (HOIS). Moreover, shown for the first time, crude mixing of 3D perovskite and unprotonated amines provides similar semiconductors. HOIS reported here are based on the organic cations CH3NH3+, CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)8NH3+ or C6H5CH2CH2NH3+ and inorganic networks formed out of PbX42- anions (X=I, Br, Cl). HOIS exhibit strong bound excitonic states with increased oscillator strength at room temperature, tunable via simple halide substitution. HOIS blends manifest energy transfer effects, where adjacent nanoparticles of different band gap energies (Eg) transfer optical energy to those with the lowest Eg; the suggested light emission mechanism here. LED fabrication is attained via a single deposition of the hydrophobic mixture, reducing device complexity, cost and degradability. LED's diodic behavior is observed even under light albeit its photovoltaic and photoconductive quasi-2D and 3D components. LED devices exposed for over than four months under adverse laboratory conditions, showed stable light emission. Further research on this class of quasi-2D/3D HOIS mixtures is expected to lead to novel quantum electronic devices.

More or just more of the same?: a closer look at the NCAA Division II football playoff expansion
Creators: name: Gale, Danny Howard
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: In 2004, the NCAA expanded from a 16-to a 24-team playoff format for Division II football. However, many institutions out there felt as though this was not enough. One Rocky Mountain Conference Chancellor summed it up best when he said, "At some point the question is not "Do I reduce scholarships,? but "Do I do this anymore?!" To combat this conflict, Division II football has had three different task forces established since 2001 to examine competitive balance and the playoff structure. Yet, no one has examined what changes, if any, occurred from the format change in 2004. This study compares the three years pre-and post-expansion and examines what effect expansion had on the financial makeup of schools that qualified for postseason play and compares them to the overall means of all Division II (with football) colleges and universities to analyze the extent to which expansion has worked.

The status of the current release of the database is reviewed and a new data structure is specified. This structure augments the provision of energy levels (and hence transition frequencies) and Einstein $A$ coefficients with other key properties, including lifetimes of individual states, temperature-dependent cooling functions, Landé $g$-factors, partition functions, cross sections, $k$-coefficients and transition dipoles with phase relations. Particular attention is paid to the treatment of pressure broadening parameters. The new data structure includes a definition file which provides the necessary information for utilities accessing ExoMol through its application programming interface (API). Prospects for the inclusion of new species into the database are discussed.

Practicum experiences: effects on clinical self-confidence of senior dental hygiene students
Creators: name: Simonian, Whitney Zanella
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a three-week practicum experience on the clinical self-confidence of UNC senior dental hygiene students. Pre- and post-survey assessments were conducted using a 20-statement clinical self-confidence survey based on the dental hygiene process of care. Students were also asked to submit reflective journal entries discussing critical incidents during their practicum experience. Relevant comments were used as qualitative data to support survey results. Pre- and post-practicum surveys yielded a 97% response rate and 100% completed journal entries. The results suggest that a three-week practicum experience in dental hygiene students' final semester will increase students' clinical self-confidence in the dental hygiene process of care. Dental hygiene programs may want to consider the benefits of requiring students to participate in a practicum experience if they do not already do so.
A self-similar solution for thermal disc winds

description: We derive a self-similar description for the 2D streamline topology and flow structure of an axi-symmetric, thermally driven wind originating from a disc in which the density is a power law function of radius. Our scale-free solution is strictly only valid in the absence of gravity or centrifugal support; comparison with 2D hydrodynamic simulations of winds from Keplerian discs however demonstrates that the scale-free solution is a good approximation also in the outer regions of such discs, and can provide a reasonable description even for launch radii well within the gravitational radius of the flow. Although other authors have considered the flow properties along streamlines whose geometry has been specified in advance, this is the first isothermal calculation in which the flow geometry and variation of flow variables along streamlines is determined self-consistently. It is found that the flow trajectory is very sensitive to the power-law index of radial density variation in the disc: the steeper the density gradient, the stronger is the curvature of streamlines close to the flow base that is required in order to maintain momentum balance perpendicular to the flow. Steeper disc density profiles are also associated with more rapid acceleration, and a faster fall-off of density, with height above the disc plane. The derivation of a set of simple governing equations for the flow structure of thermal winds from the outer regions of power law discs offers the possibility of deriving flow observables without having to resort to hydrodynamical simulation.

description: The Universe is mostly composed of large and relatively empty domains known as cosmic voids, whereas its matter content is predominantly distributed along their boundaries. The remaining material inside them, either dark or luminous matter, is attracted to these boundaries and causes voids to expand faster and to grow emptier over time. Using the distribution of galaxies centered on voids identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and adopting minimal assumptions on the statistical motion of these galaxies, we constrain the average matter content $Ω_\mathrm{m}=0.281\pm0.031$ in the Universe today, as well as the linear growth rate of structure $f/b=0.417\pm0.089$ at median redshift $\bar{z}=0.57$, where $b$ is the galaxy bias ($68\%$ C.L.). These values originate from a percent-level measurement of the anisotropic distortion in the void-galaxy cross-correlation function, $\varepsilon = 1.003\pm0.012$, and are robust to consistency tests with bootstraps of the data and simulated mock catalogs within an additional systematic uncertainty of half that size. They surpass (and are complementary to) existing constraints by unlocking cosmological information on smaller scales through an accurate model of nonlinear clustering and dynamics in void environments. As such, our analysis furnishes a powerful probe of deviations from Einstein's general relativity in the low-density regime which has largely remained untested so far. We find no evidence for such deviations in the data at hand.

description: The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the experience of managing the pandemic "through the eyes" of Primary Health Care professionals. The positive changes perceived by the participants are summarized in seven main thematic sections and the negative changes are summarized in three. Finally, the health professionals' suggestions for the following day were included. The pandemic seems to have brought about a series of positive changes that can support the upgrading and restructuring of PHY in our country. In the context of ensuring the provision of high-quality primary care services, issues of adequate staffing, ensuring the physical and mental well-being of employees, continuing education, but also in the multifaceted approach of activating patient participation in their health care should be taken into account.
Personal Control Level and Change as Predictors of Inflammatory Dysregulation
Creators: name: Johnson, Moira
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Biological mechanisms linking individual sense of control to physical health outcomes remain understudied. Research offers reason to expect that chronic low-grade inflammation may account for some of the association between sense of control and morbidity. To better understand why and how personal control affects patterns of health disparities, this thesis evaluates whether level and change in the sense of control predict three biomarkers of inflammation using data from the Midlife in US Study. Findings show that average sense of control predicts levels of interleukin-6, and that sense of control mediates the association between income and inflammation. The positive association involving sense of control is stronger at lower income levels, particularly for men. Positive change in sense of control over time provides an additional protective effect against elevated IL6, but this association is not mediated or moderated by SES.

description: The algebraic properties of formal power series, whose coefficients show factorial growth and admit a certain well-behaved asymptotic expansion, are discussed. It is shown that these series form a subring of $\mathbb{R}[[x]]$. This subring is also closed under composition and inversion of power series. An 'asymptotic derivation' is defined which maps a power series to the asymptotic expansion of its coefficients. Product and chain rules for this derivation are deduced. With these rules asymptotic expansions of the coefficients of implicitly defined power series can be obtained. The full asymptotic expansions of the number of connected chord diagrams and the number of simple permutations are given as examples.

PARASITES ENHANCE ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONS AND RESISTANCE TO DROUGHT IN A COASTAL ECOSYSTEM

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Parasitology

description: Parasites are more diverse and numerous than the organisms they feed upon, yet we know little about how parasites affect natural ecosystems. In salt marsh ecosystems of the southeastern U.S., increasing drought stress interacts synergistically with keystone grazing by marsh periwinkles to generate marsh die-offs. Field manipulation of digenean trematode parasite prevalence within the marsh food web under both drought and non-drought conditions revealed that parasites, by suppressing keystone grazing, can sustain multiple ecosystem functions and help prevent climate-induced die-off of foundational plants. A survey along 1000km of coastline showed that trematodes parasitism is common in marsh periwinkles and that increasing infection prevalence along marsh die-off borders is correlated with decreased per capita grazing and slower rates of Spartina marsh ecosystem decline. Combined, these results demonstrate that parasites can simultaneously regulate both the functioning of an ecosystem and its ability to resist die-off in the face of drought.
Primordial gravitational waves for universality classes of pseudoscalar inflation

description: Current bounds from the polarization of the CMB predict the scale-invariant gravitational wave (GW) background of inflation to be out of reach for upcoming GW interferometers. This prospect dramatically changes if the inflaton is a pseudoscalar, in which case its generic coupling to any abelian gauge field provides a new source of GWs, directly related to the dynamics of inflation. This opens up new ways of probing the scalar potential responsible for cosmic inflation. Dividing inflation models into universality classes, we analyze the possible observational signatures. One of the most promising scenarios is Starobinsky inflation, which may lead to observational signatures both in direct GW detection as well as in upcoming CMB detectors. In this case, the complementarity between the CMB and direct GW detection, as well as the possibility of a multi-frequency analysis with upcoming ground and space based GW interferometers, may provide a first clue to the microphysics of inflation.

Given a set of users, each user is associated with a set of demands representing different power consumption preferences. A demand is represented by a complex number, a time interval, and a utility value obtained if it is satisfied. At each time slot, the magnitude of the total selected demands should not exceed a given generation capacity. This naturally captures the supply constraints in alternating current (AC) electric systems. In this paper, we consider maximizing the aggregate user utility subject to power supply limits over a time horizon. We present approximation algorithms characterized by the maximum angle $ϕ$ between any two complex-valued demands. More precisely, a PTAS is presented for the case $ϕ\in [0,\tfracπ{2}]$, a bi-criteria FPTAS for $ϕ\in [0,π \mbox{-} \varepsilon]$ for any polynomially small $\varepsilon$, assuming the number of time slots in the discretized time horizon is a constant. Furthermore, if the number of time slots is part of the input, we present a reduction to the real-valued unsplittable flow problem on a path with only a constant approximation ratio. Finally, we present a practical greedy algorithm for the single time slot case with an approximation ratio of $\tfrac{1}{2}\cos \fracϕ{2}$ and a running time complexity of only ${O}(N\log N)$, $N$ standing for the aggregate number of user demands, which can be implemented efficiently in practice.

description: Experimental identification of quantum spin liquids remains a challenge, as the pristine nature is to be seen in asymptotically low temperatures. We here theoretically show that the precursor of quantum spin liquids appears in the spin dynamics in the paramagnetic state over a wide temperature range. Using the cluster dynamical mean-field theory and the continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo method, which are newly developed in the Majorana fermion representation, we calculate the dynamical spin structure factor, relaxation rate in nuclear magnetic resonance, and magnetic susceptibility for the honeycomb Kitaev model whose ground state is a canonical example of the quantum spin liquid. We find that dynamical spin correlations show peculiar temperature and frequency dependence even below the temperature where static correlations saturate. The results provide the experimentally-accessible symptoms of the fluctuating fractionalized spins evincing the quantum spin liquids.

description: A calibration of the central barrel region of the H1 liquid argon calorimeter with cosmic muons is described.For this analysis cosmic data are used which were collected in four time intervals between April 1991 and April 1992. The muonsignal was stable to 2% in this period. From the measured high voltage curves a charge collection efficiency of 0.93 $\pm$0.01 is deducted for a nominal voltage of 1500 V.The calibration method is based on a comparison of simulated and measured signals of cosmics muons in the calorimeter. The mos important error contribution to the calibration constants is due to the influence of the noise on the muonsignal. The total error of the estimated constants is 7.7% and 6% for the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeter sections respectively.These calibration constants agree within errors with the two measured calibration constants determined from test runs of H1 at the electron beam at CERN.

description: The local theory of complex dimensions describes the oscillations in the geometry (spectra and dynamics) of fractal strings. Such geometric oscillations can be seen most clearly in the explicit volume formula for the tubular neighborhoods of a $p$-adic fractal string $\mathcal{L}_p$, expressed in terms of the underlying complex dimensions. The general fractal tube formula obtained in this paper is illustrated by several examples, including the nonarchimedean Cantor and Euler strings. Moreover, we show that the Minkowski dimension of a $p$-adic fractal string coincides with the abscissa of convergence of the geometric zeta function associated with the string, as well as with the asymptotic growth rate of the corresponding geometric counting function. The proof of this new result can be applied to both real and $p$-adic fractal strings and hence, yields a unifying explanation of a key result in the theory of complex dimensions for fractal strings, even in the archimedean (or real) case.

description: We propose a pool-based non-parametric active learning algorithm for general metric spaces, called MArgin Regularized Metric Active Nearest Neighbor (MARMANN), which outputs a nearest-neighbor classifier. We give prediction error guarantees that depend on the noisy-margin properties of the input sample, and are competitive with those obtained by previously proposed passive learners. We prove that the label complexity of MARMANN is significantly lower than that of any passive learner with similar error guarantees. MARMANN is based on a generalized sample compression scheme, and a new label-efficient active model-selection procedure.

description: We study the number of linear extensions of a partial order with a given proportion of comparable pairs of elements, and estimate the maximum and minimum possible numbers. We also consider a random interval partial order on $n$ elements, which has close to a third of the pairs comparable with high probability: we show that the number of linear extensions is $n! \, 2^{-Θ(n)}$ with high probability.

description: We investigated the feature map inside deep neural networks (DNNs) by tracking the transport map. We are interested in the role of depth (why do DNNs perform better than shallow models?) and the interpretation of DNNs (what do intermediate layers do?) Despite the rapid development in their application, DNNs remain analytically unexplained because the hidden layers are nested and the parameters are not faithful. Inspired by the integral representation of shallow NNs, which is the continuum limit of the width, or the hidden unit number, we developed the flow representation and transport analysis of DNNs. The flow representation is the continuum limit of the depth or the hidden layer number, and it is specified by an ordinary differential equation with a vector field. We interpret an ordinary DNN as a transport map or a Euler broken line approximation of the flow. Technically speaking, a dynamical system is a natural model for the nested feature maps. In addition, it opens a new way to the coordinate-free treatment of DNNs by avoiding the redundant parametrization of DNNs. Following Wasserstein geometry, we analyze a flow in three aspects: dynamical system, continuity equation, and Wasserstein gradient flow. A key finding is that we specified a series of transport maps of the denoising autoencoder (DAE). Starting from the shallow DAE, this paper develops three topics: the transport map of the deep DAE, the equivalence between the stacked DAE and the composition of DAEs, and the development of the double continuum limit or the integral representation of the flow representation. As partial answers to the research questions, we found that deeper DAEs converge faster and the extracted features are better; in addition, a deep Gaussian DAE transports mass to decrease the Shannon entropy of the data distribution.
Extreme Contractility and Torsional Compliance of Soft Ribbons under High Twist

description: We investigate experimentally and model the mechanical response of a soft Hookean ribbon submitted to large twist $η$ and longitudinal tension $T$, under clamped boundary conditions. We derive a formula for the torque $M$ using the \FvK equations up to third order in twist, incorporating a twist-tension coupling. In the stable helicoid regime, quantitative agreement with experimental data is obtained. When twisted above a critical twist $η_L(T)$, ribbons develop wrinkles and folds which modify qualitatively the mechanical behavior. We show a surprisingly large longitudinal contraction upon twist, reminiscent of a Poynting effect, and a much lower torsional stiffness. Far from threshold, we identify two regimes depending on the applied $T$. In a high-$T$ regime, we find that the torque scales as $η\cdot T$ and the contraction as $η^2$, in agreement with a far from threshold analysis where compression and bending stresses are neglected. In a low-$T$ regime, the contraction still scales as $η^2$ but the torque appears $T$-independent and linear with $η$. We argue that the large curvature of the folds now contribute significantly to the torque. This regime is discussed in the context of asymptotic isometry for very thin plates submitted to vanishing tension but large change of shape, as in crumpling.

description: Based on a vector triplet model we study a possible failure of dimension-6 operators in describing LHC Higgs kinematics. First, we illustrate that including dimension-6 contributions squared can significantly improve the agreement between the full model and the dimension-6 approximation, both in associated Higgs production and in weak-boson-fusion Higgs production. Second, we test how a simplified model with an additional heavy scalar could improve the agreement in critical LHC observables. In weak boson fusion we find an improvement for virtuality-related observables at large energies, but at the cost of sizeable deviations in interference patterns and angular correlations.
