description: Rural households in Tanzania and Mozambique depend mainly on charcoal, firewood and other traditional fuels, such as cow dung or agriculture by-products, to cook. Simultaneously, fuel scarcity is an important phenomenon that leads households to apply coping strategies such as reducing the number of meals or increasing walking distance to collect firewood. Despite the well-known negative health, economic and potential ecologic impacts, the transition away from solid biomass energy sources is not expected in the short run. Thus, understanding the patterns of biomass energy consumption is essential to allow sustainable development in the household cooking sector. In this study, we evaluated the influence of wealth status and fuelwood scarcity on household energy choices in four villages with case study sites in Mozambique and Tanzania. The fuel usage patterns are consistent with the ‘energy stacking’ model as, despite an increase in the consumption of charcoal, firewood remains the principal cooking fuel. Wealth does not necessarily result in a transition toward cleaner fuels, nor does scarcity result in the use of other forms of traditional bioenergy. We suggest the promotion of fuel reduction strategies such as improved cookstoves or the implementation of on-farm trees to reduce the pressure on forests.

description: The energy spacing between the ground-state spin doublet of $^4_Λ$He(1$^+$,0$^+$) was determined to be $1406 \pm 2 \pm 2$ keV, by measuring $γ$ rays for the $1^+ \to 0^+$ transition with a high efficiency germanium detector array in coincidence with the $^4$He$(K^-,π^-)$ $^4_Λ$He reaction at J-PARC. In comparison to the corresponding energy spacing in the mirror hypernucleus $^4_Λ$H, the present result clearly indicates the existence of charge symmetry breaking (CSB) in $ΛN$ interaction. It is also found that the CSB effect is large in the $0^+$ ground state but is by one order of magnitude smaller in the $1^+$ excited state, demonstrating that the $ΛN$ CSB interaction has spin dependence.

description: Spherically symmetric models of loop quantum gravity have been studied recently by different methods that aim to deal with structure functions in the usual constraint algebra of gravitational systems. As noticed by Gambini and Pullin, a linear redefinition of the constraints (with phase-space dependent coefficients) can be used to eliminate structure functions, even Abelianizing the more-difficult part of the constraint algebra. The Abelianized constraints can then easily be quantized or modified by putative quantum effects. As pointed out here, however, the method does not automatically provide a covariant quantization, defined as an anomaly-free quantum theory with a classical limit in which the usual (off-shell) gauge structure of hypersurface deformations in space-time appears. The holonomy-modified vacuum theory based on Abelianization is covariant in this sense, but matter theories with local degrees of freedom are not. Detailed demonstrations of these statements show complete agreement with results of canonical effective methods applied earlier to the same systems (including signature change).

The Maternal & Child Health Status of Internally Displaced Persons in Darfur, Sudan
Creators: name: Devlin, Caitlin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this paper is to assess the state of maternal and child health of internally displaced persons (IDP) in Darfur, Sudan. It will examine the impact of conflict and its direct and indirect effects on maternal and child health outcomes. A review of the literature indicates that the levels of maternal mortality, neonatal mortality, under-5 mortality, and malnutrition resulting from conflict in Darfur are unacceptable by any public health standard. Humanitarian aid must be distributed far more effectively if rates of hunger and death are to be brought down to conventional levels. The international community must respond to the public health challenges of the IDP community and address the extent and severity of human rights violations in Darfur’s current complex emergency.

Creators: name: Regan, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Objectives: Screening for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in HIV-infected women is essential to prevent invasive cervical cancer. Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and HPV DNA testing have been proposed as alternatives to traditional cytology (or Papanicolaou [Pap] smears) screening programs. This meta-analysis provides pooled data on test performance (i.e., sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value) of Pap, VIA, and HPV DNA testing with the Hybrid Capture II in HIV-infected women for diagnosing CIN2 or worse (CIN2+). Methods: A meta-analysis of cervical cancer screening test performance for HIV-infected women was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines using PubMed and EMBASE databases. Relevant data were extracted from the articles and analyzed using STATA 13. Results: Six studies met the inclusion criteria and were selected for analysis. The pooled sensitivity of HPV DNA testing was 86.9% (95% CI, 58.3%-97.0%), VIA was 77.6% (95% CI, 73.5%-81.1%), Pap (at a low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion [LSIL] threshold) 72.8% (95% CI, 41.1%-91.2%) and Pap (at a high-grade SIL [HSIL] threshold) 34.2% (95% CI, 8.7%-74.0%). The pooled specificities were 60.2% (95% CI, 40%-77.5%) for HPV DNA testing, 73.4% (95% CI, 50.5%-88.2%) for VIA, 72.9% (95% CI, 31.6%-94.0%) for Pap (LSIL threshold) and 94.5% (95% CI, 78.0%-98.8%) for Pap (HSIL threshold). Conclusions: HPV DNA screening is a highly sensitive screening technique for HIV-infected women; however, there are still many barriers to its implementation in low-resource settings. VIA-based screening programs are a feasible alternative for HIV-infected women until the required resources (monetary resources and laboratory infrastructure) are committed for HPV DNA based screening programs.

description: The present study was undertaken to identify economically important NTFPs yielding tree species. Surveys were conducted in 15 local markets in 7 districts of the state and assessment of value-added forest products were also conducted in Van Dhan Vikas Kendra (VDVK), a nationalized minor forest products market. During the survey, a total of 33 NTFPs yielding tree species with varied uses were recorded. Among those, edible fruit species were found to be the most important category with the most profitable items. Some species like, Baccaurea sapida, Docynia indica, Elaeocarpus floribundus, Phyllanthus emblica, Ficus semicordata, Prunus napaulensis, Rhus semialata, Spondias pinnata and Ziziphus mauritiana were utilised in value addition for making different items like candies, pickles, jams, beverages, etc, which have price range of 400–1200 INR per kg having a far higher market value than the raw form, and eventually improve the income of the locals. Poor transportation and unestablished market channels were some of the constraints faced by the people in the trade of NTFPs. Establishing proper market channels would help in improving livelihood of the locals.

description: Hare’s psychopathy construct as defined by the Psychopathy Checklist- Revised has been utilized internationally as a risk assessment instrument for quite some time. Despite this, since its inception it has and continues to raise criticism from the academic community. There is ongoing debate over what the construct entails and how it should be used. Most recent developments in the construct revolve around it being defined as a neurological manifestation. To explore the psychopathy construct’s connection with neuroscience, this thesis focusses on one foundational experiment by the most prominent team of researchers in the field. The exploration borrows from Science and Technology Studies, more specifically Actor-Network Theory and the semiotic of scientific texts. The goal of this analysis is not to criticize nor defend the psychopathy construct, but rather explore the facticity of psychopathy as a neuroscientific fact. Considering the widespread use of the construct across criminal justice systems and mental health practices, understanding the facticity of psychopathy is imperative. Our contention is that psychopathy as defined by neuroscience was not merely a pre-discovered fact of nature, but rather it is a fact that is hybrid; it is both built by researchers and a part of our natural world, social and real. Our findings reveal that the facticity of psychopathy as a neuroscience construct is reliant on it being a Boundary Object: a scientific object that is able to intersect multiple social worlds through its adaptability (Star & Griesemer, 1989). We show how the construct is a boundary object by detailing the many translations it undergoes while it connects with a variety of heterogeneous actors. For each translation, the construct is rendered qualitatively different, yet it proves to be robust enough to maintain the identity of psychopathy and transform it into a neuroscientific fact.

Year: 2016

description: Moving into a new era of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), attaining health for all and pursuing gender equality and empowerment for women and girls are key pieces of the work ahead. To approach these goals, reproductive health access for adolescents that is couched in a gender equity framework should be considered. To understand its relevance and availability, this review focuses on the evidence base of adolescent health programs that address gender equity in India, a low resource country with wide health disparities. Analysis of relevant literature indicates that when programs are age-specific, comprehensive, and gender sensitive, they are of immense influence. Findings also show that when evidence based programs include fidelity assessments, the most effective results are attained for scalability.

description: We present x-ray resonant magnetic reflectivity (XRMR) as a very sensitive tool to detect proximity induced interface spin polarization in Pt/Fe, Pt/Ni$_{33}$Fe$_{67}$, Pt/Ni$_{81}$Fe$_{19}$ (permalloy), and Pt/Ni bilayers. We demonstrate that a detailed analysis of the reflected x-ray intensity gives insight in the spatial distribution of the spin polarization of a non-magnetic metal across the interface to a ferromagnetic layer. The evaluation of the experimental results with simulations based on optical data from ab initio calculations provides the induced magnetic moment per Pt atom in the spin polarized volume adjacent to the ferromagnet. We find the largest spin polarization in Pt/Fe and a much smaller magnetic proximity effect in Pt/Ni. Additional XRMR experiments with varying photon energy are in good agreement with the theoretical predictions for the energy dependence of the magnetooptic parameters and allow identifying the optical dispersion $δ$ and absorption $β$ across the Pt L3-absorption edge.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Building Bridges in Public and Global Mental Health
Creators: name: Hamilton, Erica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Background: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was developed for the treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and has been applied to other mental health problems. Aims: This paper provides a detailed overview of DBT and elucidates the growing body of research utilizing DBT for myriad mental health problems in public and global mental health settings. Method: A PubMed and PsychInfo online database search was undertaken to locate articles regarding Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) applications within the last 10 years. Article exclusion criteria included publication prior to 2001 and an n of less than 15. Since the majority of DBT research thus far has been in individuals meeting criteria for BPD, special attention was paid to articles addressing other mental health diagnoses, settings, and family outcomes. Results: A literature review of twelve key articles (2001-2011) addressed diagnoses such as BPD, BPD comorbid with Eating Disorders (EDs), Binge Eating Disorder (BED), Oppositional-Defiant Disorder (ODD), and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) related to childhood sexual abuse. Articles were from the United States, Germany, Australia, and the Netherlands. Conclusions: DBT shows great promise as an intervention in the fields of public and global mental health because of its documented sustained efficacy with various groups, its high treatment retention, its potential for cost-effectiveness, ease in training providers, and transportability.

description: In this paper intermodal modulational instability (IM-MI) is analyzed in a multimode fiber where several spatial and polarization modes propagate. The coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations describing the modal evolution in the fiber are linearized and reduced to an eigenvalue problem. As a result, the amplification of each mode can be described by means of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix that stores the information about the dispersion properties of the modes and the modal power distribution of the pump. Some useful analytical formulas are also provided that estimate the modal amplification as function of the system parameters. Finally, the impact of third-order dispersion and of absorbtion losses is evaluated, which reveals some surprising phenomena into the IM-MI dynamics. These outcomes generalize previous studies on bimodal-MI, related to the interaction between 2 spatial or polarization modes, to the most general case of $N>2$ interacting modes. Moreover, they pave the way towards the realization of wideband multimode parametric amplifiers

description: Antibody-mediated immunity plays a crucial role in protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection. We isolated a panel of neutralizing anti-receptor-binding domain (RBD) antibodies elicited upon natural infection and vaccination and showed that they recognize an immunogenic patch on the internal surface of the core RBD, which faces inwards and is hidden in the "down" state. These antibodies broadly neutralize wild type (Wuhan-Hu-1) SARS-CoV-2, Beta and Delta variants and some are effective against other sarbecoviruses. We observed a continuum of partially overlapping antibody epitopes from lower to upper part of the inner face of the RBD and some antibodies extend towards the receptor-binding motif. The majority of antibodies are substantially compromised by three mutational hotspots (S371L/F, S373P and S375F) in the lower part of the Omicron BA.1, BA.2 and BA.4/5 RBD. By contrast, antibody IY-2A induces a partial unfolding of this variable region and interacts with a conserved conformational epitope to tolerate all antigenic variations and neutralize diverse sarbecoviruses as well. This finding establishes that antibody recognition is not limited to the normal surface structures on the RBD. In conclusion, the delineation of functionally and structurally conserved RBD epitopes highlights potential vaccine and therapeutic candidates for COVID-19.

description: We show that a class of parity based solutions to the strong CP problem predicts new colored particles with mass at the TeV scale, due to constraints from Planck suppressed operators. The new particles are copies of the Standard Model quarks and leptons. The new quarks can be produced at the LHC and are either collider stable or decay into Standard Model quarks through a Higgs, a W or a Z boson. We discuss some simple but generic predictions of the models for the LHC and find signatures not related to the traditional solutions of the hierarchy problem. We thus provide alternative motivation for new physics searches at the weak scale. We also briefly discuss the cosmological history of these models and how to obtain successful baryogenesis.

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We revisit a classical perturbative approach to the Hamiltonian related to the motions of Trojan bodies, in the framework of the Planar Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem (PCRTBP), by introducing a number of key new ideas in the formulation. In some sense, we adapt the approach of Garfinkel (1977) to the context of the normal form theory and its modern techniques. First, we make use of Delaunay variables for a physically accurate representation of the system. Therefore, we introduce a novel manipulation of the variables so as to respect the natural behavior of the model. We develop a normalization procedure over the fast angle which exploits the fact that singularities in this model are essentially related to the slow angle. Thus, we produce a new normal form, i.e. an integrable approximation to the Hamiltonian. We emphasize some practical examples of the applicability of our normalizing scheme, e.g. the estimation of the stable libration region. Finally, we compare the level curves produced by our normal form with surfaces of section provided by the integration of the non--normalized Hamiltonian, with very good agreement. Further precision tests are also provided. In addition, we give a step-by-step description of the algorithm, allowing for extensions to more complicated models.

Subjects: Voided RC slab, Ductility, floor Stiffness, Finite element analysis

description: Voided slab construction is a way of effectively removing concrete from middle section
 of a RC slab which is not carrying out a structural function, thereby reducing structural
 dead weight. Voided slab construction has advantages such as reducing self-weight, Cost
 efficiencies and fast Construction. However, floor stiffness of voided RC slab is less than
 its solid counterpart and there is gap in literature about structural behaviors of voided RC
 slabs.
 This research work presents experimental and numerical investigations of voided RC
 slab. Six solid and voided RC slab specimens of size 800mmx300mmx200mm were
 casted and tested until failure under one-point load. Also, leveraging advantages of FEA,
 effect of influential variables such as void size, loading type, concrete compressive
 strength, and effect of top reinforcement were thoroughly studied.
 Experimental test results indicated as compared to control solid RC slab, 60mm diameter
 paper tube voided RC slab exhibited 12 %, 15.54 %, 25.50 %,14.64 % and 6.71% loss in
 strength, cracking load, stiffness, ductility, and toughness respectively where as for
 90mm diameter paper tube voided RC slab respective values were 20 %, 19.87 %, 38.80
 %, 25.50 % and 12%. Also, as void size increased from 60mm to 90mm, voided slab

Towards Intersectionality: A Literature Review of Risk and Protective Factors Associated with Gender-Based Violence in India
Creators: name: Magee, Erin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Gender-based violence (GBV) and its impact on women across the world is increasingly recognized as a key public health concern for maternal and child health worldwide. GBV results in deleterious health outcomes both physical and psychological, including adverse pregnancy outcomes, gynecological disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic-pain syndromes, depression, anxiety, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), suicide, and substance abuse. This paper reviewed literature from the last twenty years on GBV in India, and identified salient themes and factors. Four key themes emerged including traditional gender roles, cultural practices surrounding women and marriage, weak community sanctions against domestic violence, and the role of the natal family. Health service providers of India are uniquely positioned to identify, support, and make appropriate referrals to trauma-informed and patient-centered services. Future research should explore the role health services providers could play in supporting victims and preventing violence.

Evaluating the Substantive Representation of Women and Domestic Violence Legislation in England and Wales: a Critical Path Approach
Creators: name: Kitchen, Ashley
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2018

description: More women entering politics has led to questions regarding so-called ‘women’s issues’ and whether female representatives make a difference in reference to these issues. This thesis moves beyond the question of whether women represent women and instead, focuses on the representation process as a whole. This approach widens the scope beyond seeing women as a homogenous group, with uniform interests and unvarying political motivations. To do so, this thesis evaluates the substantive representation of women in England and Wales. Specifically, this thesis assesses four pieces of domestic violence legislation: The Crime and Security Act 2010, the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015, and the Serious Crime Act 2015. This thesis employs a critical path framework and uses this framework to research the impact of substantive representation regarding this specific category of legislation. In addition to utilizing this framework, the main aims of this thesis include: drawing conclusions on substantive representation and expanding present knowledge regarding both the political representation of women and domestic violence legislation in England and Wales. In order to accomplish these aims, this thesis considers the following research question: what does the substantive representation of women mean in England and Wales, regarding domestic violence legislation? The case study is driven by a substantive political problem, domestic violence, and uses longstanding conceptual ideas, such as political representation, in order to ask new questions. This thesis further adds to the conversation surrounding the substantive representation of women by creating a critical path, or logical pathway, used to evaluate what is ‘going on’ in regard to representation. This pathway aids in tracing occurrences across instances of time, legislation, sites, and actors. The pathway utilises many concepts within the field including critical junctures, critical acts, and critical actors, and assembles them in a logical way, by employing the framework of questions mentioned above. This thesis benefits from and demonstrates the changing nature of representation and how we as researchers evaluate and draw conclusions from it. Evaluating substantive representation is important because numbers do not equal an understanding of behaviour, and why representatives and legislators may attempt to represent one group of citizens rather than another.
EXPLORING SUCCESS FACTORS FOR ICT SUPPORT TO REMOTE LEARNING IN HEIS

Subjects: Other information and computing sciences not elsewhere classified

description: COVID-19 forced mass transitions to remote working across industries, significantly so in Higher Education Institutes (HEIs). ICT divisions were significantly tested as the provided service and support for remote work/learning. The purpose of this research is to characterize successful ICT practices in support of remote work/learning within HEIs.
 This study investigates the current literature on HEIs, remote work ICT support, and Critical Success Factors (CSFs). Gaps in the current knowledge inform investigation into the factors of successful support as identified by HEI ICT professionals. A narrative literature review is conducted to explore the research on HEIs, remote work ICT support, and CSFs. Thereafter, subject matter experts are interviewed through a semi-structured interview approach. Content analysis is employed to characterize successful ICT support to remote work within HEIs.
 While ICT support took on many different approaches in HEIs across North America, several themes emerged as consistent to providing successful ICT support to remote learning. The characteristics of successful support to remote work/learning are organized under the following themes: leadership qualities, customer emphasis, RW ICT tools, organizational factors, and combating digital inequity. This study offers practitioners areas of consideration to examine their plans and policies.
 Future research is proposed to include studies on other emergency events, the impacts of covid lockdown on future policies, military education, and demographic specific research. Remote work practices and strategies vary greatly by industry and organizational structure. This research focuses on HEIs thus generalizability may be limited.
Assessment on Challenges of Roads Construction Projects in Ethiopian Roads Authority : The Case of Projects administered by Centaral Region contract Management Directorate

Year: 2020
Subjects: Construction, Roads construction, construction projects, construction industry

description: The purpose of this study was to assess the challenges facing the federal road projects
 administered by the Ethiopian Roads Authority, under the CRCMD. The objectives of the study
 were to assess the major and frequent problems that affect the performance the construction
 works of the roads projects, to identify the contributing factors for the given challenges under
 CRCMD, and agreement on the degree of impact for each challenge. The study adopted
 descriptive research design while target population would be forty-five respondents under the
 CRCMD road projects and structured questionnaire was distributed, to different construction
 projects participants under the CRCMD, such as consultants, contractors, and employers. Data
 were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as percentage, frequency, and mean. Findings of
 the research revealed that cash flow related problems and design- related problems were the
 highest-ranked factors that pose a major challenge and frequently occur in road construction.
 Where, Insufficient projects planning, case of expropriation (right of way ) delay in the removal
 of obstruction, environmental impacts, delay in interim payment, cost overruns, delay interim
 payments by clients, and occupational Safety and Health, inflation in the foreign exchange rate
 and lack of good communication were then ranked from high to a low degree of impact facing
 these road projects. Therefore, challenges found in road construction might be eliminated by
 learning, by planning mechanisms for the upcoming project properly and by identifying possible
 problems at the early stage of the project

description: A single Dirac cone on the surface is the hallmark of three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators, where the double degeneracy at the Dirac point is protected by time-reversal symmetry and the spin-splitting away from the point is provided by the spin-orbital coupling. Here we predict a single Dirac-cone surface state in a 3D photonic crystal, where the degeneracy at the Dirac point is protected by a nonsymmorphic glide reflection and the linear splitting away from it is enabled by breaking time-reversal symmetry. Such a gapless surface state is fully robust against random disorder of any type. This bosonic topological band structure is achieved by applying alternating magnetization to gap out the 3D "generalized Dirac points" discovered in the bulk of our crystal. The $Z_2$ bulk invariant is characterized through the evolution of Wannier centers. Our proposal--readily realizable using ferrimagnetic materials at microwave frequencies--can also be regarded as the photonic analog of topological crystalline insulators, providing the first 3D bosonic symmetry-protected topological system.

description: Silver-doped ZnO nanoparticles were successfully fabricated at $400\,^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ via a simple and rapid method based on short time solid state milling and calcination of precursor powders. The effect of Ag dilute doping on the structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties of ZnO nanoparticles was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis spectrophotometer and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy.~X-ray analysis revealed that Ag doped ZnO solidified in hexagonal wurtzite structure.~ The intensity of deep level emission was reduced with increasing silver doping in PL measurement.~The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurement predicted that Ag was mainly in the metallic state and ZnO was in the wurtzite structure.~ This metallic state accompanied by unique zinc oxide properties decolorized the methyl violet, efficiently.~ The first-principles calculation represented Ag deep level in ZnO with an n-type behavior, while in ZnO structure with grain boundary p-type nature via shallow states is dominant same as powder samples as studied in this present work. It was suggested that these Ag-doped ZnO nanoparticles may have good applications in optoelectronics, spintronics and wastewater treatment.
