Relations among Attenuated Psychosis Symptoms, Internalized Stigma, and Help-Seeking Intentions in a Community Sample of Youth
Creators: name: Akouri-Shan, LeeAnn
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2024

description: Attenuated psychosis symptoms often emerge during adolescence and young adulthood and, for some youth may be distressing, impairing, and/or increase in severity over time. Early identification of these youth combined with early intervention efforts can prevent or mitigate a host of negative outcomes traditionally associated with full-threshold psychotic disorders. Internalized mental health stigma has been widely established as a significant barrier to help-seeking among youth with mental health concerns, particularly those with attenuated psychosis symptoms. In addition to stigma, various symptom-related factors (e.g., symptom type, severity, and related distress) can also influence help-seeking among this group. Although positive symptom severity is thought to be positively associated with help-seeking among youth in the general population, relations between other types of symptoms – e.g., negative symptoms or affective symptoms – and help-seeking remain somewhat unclear. The current study examined relations among self-reported mental health symptoms, internalized stigma, and intent to seek mental health treatment in a community sample of youth who were not currently engaged in treatment (N = 601, M age = 21.24). Participants were categorized into two clinical groups – those who scored at or above threshold, and those who scored below threshold on psychosis risk screening tools. Internalized stigma partially mediated the relation between positive symptom severity and intent to seek treatment and was positively associated with intent to seek treatment in the sample. Negative symptoms and general symptoms were each positively associated with internalized stigma and intent, controlling for positive symptoms. The relation between internalized stigma and intent did not appear to differ by clinical group. Among different types of internalized stigma, alienation was uniquely associated with intent to seek treatment in the full sample, with higher levels of alienation predicting greater intent. Findings highlight the complex interplay between symptoms, stigma, and help-seeking experiences among community youth and may inform early intervention efforts for this population.

A Multi-Method Examination of Asian American Parents and Adolescents’ Ethnic-Racial and Civic Socialization
Creators: name: Cho, Hyun Su
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2024

description: During the COVID-19 outbreak, the racialization of the pandemic refueled and intensified interpersonal and collective racial prejudice against Asian Americans, adversely impacting these families’ adjustment in both shorter and longer terms. In addition, the police murder of George Floyd in 2020 ignited an increase in momentum for the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, which led many Asian Americans to reflect on systemic racism and their social positioning. Amidst this critical racial reckoning, ethnic-racial and civic socialization within the family context can shape the way children and adolescents view themselves as minoritized individuals and how they navigate the racialized landscape and address social inequity issues in the United States. Therefore, across three papers, this dissertation project broadly aimed to understand how Asian American families’ ethnic-racial and civic socialization is shaped and associated with adolescents’ civic engagement. Briefly, the first paper examined the association between Chinese American parents’ racial discrimination experiences and their maintenance of their heritage culture and concealing their Chinese heritage and connection ethnic-racial socialization during the COVID-19 pandemic, the mediating role of parents’ psychological well-being, the moderating role of family support, and the potential variations in these associations among parents with children across three developmental stages. The second paper focused on the mediating role of Chinese American parents’ civic socialization in the association between their interpersonal racial discrimination experiences and their adolescent’ community and political engagement. The potential exacerbating role of parents’ concerns about structural racism was explored. Finally, the third paper explored Asian American adolescents’ ethnic-racial and civic beliefs and responses to anti-Asian hate and the BLM movement during discussions with their parents. Moreover, within-group patterns among Chinese, Filipino, and Korean American adolescents’ responses, reasons, and their associations with their critical consciousness were examined. Together, the three studies made important empirical and theoretical contributions to the field by revealing: (1) underlying mechanisms in the association between racial discrimination and Asian American parents’ ethnic-racial and civic socialization and their adolescents’ civic engagement; (2) Asian American families’ resilience in the context of the rise in anti-Asian hate and racial tension; and (3) Asian American adolescents’ contributions to parent-adolescent discussions about race and social change. The present dissertation project has significant practical implications and calls for efforts to address systemic racism to ensure conscious-raising systems that can facilitate the positive development and thriving of Asian American children, adolescents, and families.
Reasons Why: Contributors of Suicide Risk among a Community Sample of Young People with Psychosis-like Experiences

Subjects: Psychosis
Suicide

description: Adolescents and young adults who experience higher levels of psychosis-like experiences (PLEs) also experience elevated rates of suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, and deaths by suicide, as compared to the general population. Though there has been a recent burst of literature examining the relation between PLEs and suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB), there is still a limited understanding of the factors that contribute to the heightened risk for STB among people with higher levels of PLEs. Among a sample of young people with higher levels of PLEs (N = 234), this study introduced The Suicide History Assessment for People with Psychosis-spectrum Experiences (SHAPE), a suicide risk assessment developed to measure relevant general and psychosis-spectrum-specific risk factors of STB. The present study (1) evaluated the relation between subtypes of PLEs and STB, (2) compared clinical characteristics of youth who reported that their PLEs impacted their suicidal thoughts to those who did not report a connection, (3) identified participant-rated general risk factors of suicidal thoughts among youth who experienced higher levels of PLEs, and (4) examined the sum of participant-identified general risk factors as a mediator of the relation between PLEs and STB. Hypotheses were partially supported. Results from this pilot study confirmed a relation between PLEs and suicide risk severity, as well as differential relations between PLE subtypes and suicide risk severity. A subset of participants reported that subtypes of PLEs impacted their suicidal thoughts, and this subsample presented with more clinically severe symptoms than those who did not identify a connection between symptoms. General suicide risk factors contributed to suicidal thoughts among people with high levels of PLEs, and these risk factors differed based on whether participants experienced high versus low levels of PLEs. Finally, the sum of these risk factors mediated the relation between distressing PLEs and suicide risk severity. Information gleaned from this study informed revisions and additions to the SHAPE and helped to identify relevant risk factors for STB among people with PLEs.

We find that above a critical mass ratio, this version of the Calogero problem exhibits the generalized Efimov effect, the emergence of discrete scale invariance manifested by a geometric series of three-body bound states with an accumulation point at zero energy.

description: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people of color (POC) may be uniquely impacted by psychiatric hospitalization and at greater risk of reporting perceived coercion, which is associated with increase suicide risk. This study examined the prevalence of perceived coercion in a sample of 133 LGBTQ POC who were psychiatrically hospitalized for suicidality and investigated whether perceived coercion predicts traumatic impact and future help-seeking intent using hierarchical linear regression models. Seventy-one percent of the sample reported perceived coercion and 29% of the sample reported no perceived coercion. Transgender and gender expansive (TGE) participants reported higher levels of perceived coercion than men. Perceived coercion independently significantly predicted traumatic impact and future help-seeking intent. Needs satisfaction and institutional betrayal each significantly predicted traumatic impact and future help-seeking intent when controlling for perceived coercion. Twenty-seven percent of participants encountered police involvement on their journey to hospitalization, 74% of whom reported a negative experience with the police. Clients who experienced police involvement were more likely to report lower needs satisfaction, greater institutional betrayal, greater traumatic impact, and lower future help-seeking intent. Medical and mental health providers, as well as administrators and staff, in inpatient psychiatric units can promote needs satisfaction through prioritizing patient autonomy, affirming patients’ strengths, demonstrating care and friendliness toward all patients, and cultivating social connection and peer support among patients. Institutions can prevent betrayal through LGBTQ+ affirming care practices and cultural competency training to avoid incidents of bias and discrimination. Prevention also includes publicizing patients’ rights, posting guidelines for behavior to promote an inclusive climate, and having highly visible methods to report bias and dissatisfaction with care. Institutions can also work to repair betrayal by incentivizing providers to solicit patient input in treatment, listen to patient feedback with empathy, apologize for missteps, and share additional steps patients can take for the institutions to address their grievances. Future research should investigate alternatives to hospitalization including non-police models of crisis response.

description: Aims: Fifty percent of the oral microbiome remains unrecognized or uncultured. In order to study this segment of the microbiota, we previously developed the RNA-Oligonucleotide Quantification Technique (ROQT). The aim of this study was to optimize the ROQT technique regarding its sensitivity, specificity and cost-effectiveness. Material and Methods: Total nucleic acids (TNA) were extracted from bacterial suspensions and subgingival biofilm samples using manual and an automated protocol. RNA, DNA and Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) digoxigenin-labeled oligonucleotide probes targeting 21 cultured/uncultured taxa were synthesized. Tests were performed using 10ng TNA, 106 bacterial cells, and RNA and DNA standards for quantification. Probe specificity was determined by targeting 96 oral bacterial species; sensitivity was assessed using serial dilutions of reference bacterial strains. The tested conditions were assessed in a small pilot study with subgingival biofilm samples. Significance of differences between test conditions and subject groups was determined using the Mann–Whitney U-test. Results: LNA-oligunucleotides probes yielded stronger signals without cross-reactions, when compared with DNA and RNA oligonucleotides probes. The automated method at 63C consistently yields stronger signals in comparison to the manual protocol. Samples from patients with periodontitis showed higher levels of subgingival bacteria based on the universal probe signals than samples from periodontally healthy subjects. Overall, the most commonly detected uncultivated/unrecognized species in the samples from severe sites were probe Treponema sp ot254, TM7 ot356, Fretibacterium sp ot360, Y73 Selenomonas sp ot134, 54, and Desulfobulbus sp. ot041. In the cultivated segment of the microbiota, the most abundant taxa were Tannerella forsythia ot613, L66 Oribacterium sp ot78, K76 Bacterioidetes sp ot274, Fretibacterium fastidiosum ot363 and Porphyromonas gingivalis ot619. Conclusion: The use of automated TNA extraction, LNA probes and RNA standards enhances the sensitivity, specificity, throughput, and cost-effectiveness of ROQT.

Improving Postpartum Depression Screening and Referral in the Pediatric Setting
Creators: name: Russomagno, LinkedIn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Postpartum depression (PPD) affects up to 20% of American mothers and, if left untreated, can have serious, lifelong effects on women and their children (Earls, 2010). For the latter, PPD can negatively affect behavior, language and cognitive development, and physical health (O’Hara & McCabe, 2013). It is estimated that less than half of PPD cases are even identified—resulting from screening and treatment recommendation discrepancies from major domestic and international organizations (Gjerdingen & Yawn, 2007). Due to their longitudinal relationship with their patients and their patients’ families, pediatric providers are uniquely situated to effectively screen mothers for PPD while educating them on symptoms, treatments, and resources (Fernandez y Garcia et al., 2015). Therefore, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that pediatric practices screen for PPD at the one-, two-, four-, and six-month well child checks; however, few pediatric practices oblige (Earls, 2010).
      Using quality improvement methodologies and the Lewin Change Theory, this project standardized the PPD screening schedule and developed a novel referral algorithm that was concurrently implemented at a rural pediatric clinic in Virginia. The project significantly increased the clinic’s screening rate from 33% to 80% (p<0.001) and, although not statistically significant, improved referral rates from 66% to 79%. The referral algorithm was functional for providers and can be replicated by other pediatric practices.
      Effective PPD screening can take as little as one minute. This is the first study to study the effectiveness of a referral algorithm and one of only a handful of studies quantifying the effectiveness of standardizing screening schedules in pediatrics. By standardizing PPD screening and implementing a referral algorithm in the ambulatory pediatric setting, more PPD cases can be identified, further evaluated, and treated—ultimately improving maternal and infant health outcomes while demonstrating that the small changes the project represents can be duplicated by pediatric practices in any setting.

description: Helicenes are inherently chiral polyaromatic molecules composed of all-ortho fused benzene rings possessing a spring-like structure. Here, using a combination of density functional theory and tight-binding calculations, it is demonstrated that controlling the length of the helicene molecule by mechanically stretching or compressing the molecular junction can dramatically change the electronic properties of the helicene, leading to a tunable switching behavior of the conductance and thermopower of the junction with on/off ratios of several orders of magnitude. Furthermore, control over the helicene length and number of rings is shown to lead to more than an order of magnitude increase in the thermopower and thermoelectric figure-of-merit over typical molecular junctions, presenting new possibilities of making efficient thermoelectric molecular devices. The physical origin of the strong dependence of the transport properties of the junction is investigated, and found to be related to a shift in the position of the molecular orbitals.

title: Climate-Induced Migration: Rethinking International Law and the Crisis of International Solidarity
Creators: name: Mobegi, Tomkeen Onyambu
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2028

description: Climate-Induced Migration: Rethinking International Law and the Crisis of International Solidarity by Tomkeen Onyambu Mobegi This thesis raises critical questions about international law’s capacity to address climate-induced migration. Using Third World Approaches to International Law perspective, it exposes the role of colonial, imperial, and capitalist legacies in causing, framing, and addressing climate-induced migration. By focusing on how international law cyclically reproduces slow violence, enables securitisation, and undermines international solidarity through its violently capitalist and colonial predatory frameworks, the thesis argues that international law cannot address climate-induced migration. It further posits that the solution lies not in a binding legal definition of climate-induced migration, as the corpus of law associated with the phenomenon is ill-equipped to address it. Climate-induced migration traverses time and space, co-evolving with and within the dominant histories, structures, inequalities, attitudes, assumptions, and practices of international law. Within this continuum are systemic and structural violences that intertwine with climate change to exacerbate vulnerability, and are reified and legitimised by international law. Gaps in addressing climate-induced migration are situated in a larger pattern of hegemonic practices that use claims of newness to prompt a racialised crisis discourse and prevent a deeper understanding of climate-induced migration. This has amplified the push for climate-induced migration into ‘the crisis model of international law’ and made latent the causative and reactive reality of slow violence and securitisation. While a solution to this legal quagmire may lie in the reconceptualisation of the practice of international solidarity, this can only be achieved by simultaneously addressing the often under-emphasised colonial legacies, racial inequalities, economic structures, geopolitical biases, and other cycles of domination that have historically formed the place of marginalised and vulnerable peoples in international law. This thesis contributes to, first, providing critical insight into the international law history and histories that constitute, shape and define climate-induced migration; and, second, advancing TWAIL’s critical discourse and attempts to unravel how empire and the Global South have interacted through time and space to reproduce, sustain, and legitimise violence in international law.

Resilience

description: Resilience is often associated with the ability to recover quickly or bounce back. However, often, recovery does not look like a return to "normal" or homeostasis. Nonprofit organizations are essential to providing services in response to emergencies, and their involvement builds communities' capacity to deal with future disasters. Nonprofit organizations' response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has grown almost as quickly as the news and fear of the virus spreading across all continents. The pandemic challenged nonprofits' limits, management, and preparedness everywhere, often exposing limited capacity to bounce back while helping the populations and communities they serve. This dissertation research focuses on two major exploratory questions by utilizing a systematic literature review and a case study on emergency management nonprofits. First, what is resilience, and how can we measure it? and second, what does organizational resilience look like in nonprofit organizations? The systematic literature review and theoretical background of interdisciplinary literature establish this study of resilience from the perspective of nonprofit organizations. The literature is used to develop a framework in which resilience is a process, not a characteristic of an individual, organization, or community. By conducting a case study on emergency management nonprofits, this dissertation examines how the experience and response to the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the organization through primary data collection and interviews with nonprofit practitioners. Risk avoidance, risk management, and the control of risk, with the capacity to cope resiliently, are used to build a relationship between resilience and emergency management (Wildavsky,1998). The findings of this study have direct implications for how future scholarship defines resilience and stresses the importance of actively including and involving practitioners in the field. The COVID-19 pandemic provides a unique situation as risk and perceived risk were completely unknown. Nonprofit organizations acted in the best way they knew how and to their capacity. The findings also include a conversation on mission pivot, the short-term and long-term impacts of a disaster like COVID-19, and participants' reactions to COVID-19.

Microaggressions and the Problem of Invisible Wrongdoers
Creators: name: Jang, Minji

description: I argue that victims of microaggressions suffer from the problem of invisible wrongdoers, where they cannot properly respond to everyday injustice of which they become the targets, because they cannot identify these events as wrongdoings and perpetrators as culpable wrongdoers. I identify the causes of this problem as: (1) the recent transformation of explicit, 'old-fashioned' discriminations into implicit, 'modern' forms, and (2) our focus on the macroscopic perspective to examine the moral significance of oppressive practices. I propose that we tackle this problem by extending our discussion to the microscopic level. In this paper, I offer a positive account of why microaggressions are moral offenses that merit blaming and critical responses from victims, and respond to three excuses given by perpetrators of microaggressions, namely, (1) that the act itself was trivial, (2) that the agents were well-intentioned, and (3) that they were non-culpably ignorant at the time of offense.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic caused a global challenge that many countries were not well equipped for. The present study examined why certain countries did better in terms of deaths caused from the novel virus and mental health outcomes during the first 17 months of the pandemic. Current research has examined many government and policy related variables at an attempt to explain differences of COVID-19 outcomes between and within countries. Studies also examine the complicated changing concept of social capital as well. The goal of this research was to examine countries (N=50) in a cross-national setting testing government/economic, welfare states, Non-pharmaceutical intervention policies, and social trust variables on deaths from COVID-19 and adverse mental health. Various multiple regression series were run using mediation, moderation, and quadratic techniques. The results suggested that having higher social trust in the form of trusting other citizens and trusting government and public institutions may have had a strong influence in reducing countries COVID-19 deaths and adverse mental health outcomes. Countries’ public health officials and government should take into account the public levels of social trust before implementing NPIs and vaccination rollout. A country’s level of social trust may be an important factor to successfully navigate through a pandemic.

description: In this paper, we apply results of \cite{Va3} and use towers to transfer symmetry from $μ^+$ down to $μ$ in superstable abstract elementary classes without using extra set-theoretic assumptions or tameness. Theorem. Suppose $\mathcal{K}$ is an abstract elementary class satisfying the amalgamation and joint embedding properties and that $\mathcal{K}$ is both $μ$- and $μ^+$-superstable. If $\mathcal{K}$ has symmetry for non-$μ^+$-splitting, then $\mathcal{K}$ has symmetry for non-$μ$-splitting. This is a new application of towers which were introduced by Shelah and Villaveces \cite{ShVi} and later used by VanDieren \cite{Va1}, \cite{Va2} and Grossberg, VanDieren, and Villaveces \cite{GVV} to prove the uniqueness of limit models.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία στηρίζεται στην πειραματική ανάλυση της βραχόμαζας εκτελώντας  δοκιμές μονοαξονικής και αντιδιαμετρικής θλίψης και κατ’ επέκταση στον καθοριστικό ρόλο που παίζουν τα αποτελέσματα αυτά στη βαθμονόμηση καταστατικών μοντέλων. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, μέσα από τα πειράματα αυτά παίρνουμε μετρήσεις για διάφορες παραμέτρους, όπως την αντοχή τους, της παραμόρφωση, τα μέτρα ελαστικότητας και τον λόγο Poisson,  που μπορούν να θεωρηθούν αντιπροσωπευτικές για τη συγκεκριμένη βραχόμαζα αν παρατηρηθεί επανάληψη των συγκεκριμένων πορισμάτων και σε μελλοντικές διαδικασίες. Αρχικά, πριν τη μορφοποίηση των δοκιμίων για την εκτέλεση των πειραμάτων, τα ύψη των καρότων γεωτρήσεων, οι ασυνέχειες αλλά και η γενικότερη κατάσταση της βραχόμαζας, χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για τον υπολογισμό δύο δεικτών ταξινόμησης της βραχομάζας. Οι δείκτες αυτοί είναι το RQD, που προσδιορίζεται από πυρήνες πετρώματος ή από την καταμέτρηση ασυνεχειών και το RMR που προσδιορίζεται από το άθροισμα των βαθμολογιών μιας σειράς παραμέτρων που αφορούν τις ιδιότητες της ρηγματωμένης βραχομάζας. Στη συνέχεια, τα δείγματα επεξεργάστηκαν με συγκεκριμένα πρότυπα, σύμφωνα με τις Ευρωπαϊκές προδιαγραφές και υποβλήθηκαν στις απαραίτητες πειραματικές δοκιμές όπου σε κάποια δοκίμια έγινε συγκόλληση ηλεκτρικών μηκυνσιομέτρων, διαφόρων ειδών, για μεγαλύτερη ακρίβεια. Τέλος, από τα πειράματα μονοαξονικής θλίψης, προέκυψε ότι οι μέγιστε τιμές αντοχής κυμαίνονται από 54.7 MPa εώς 112.1 MPa και πολύ χαμηλές τιμές ακτινική πλαστική παραμόρφωση ε.
description: The present diploma thesis is based on the experimental analysis of rock mass by performing uniaxial and Brazilian tests, consequently, on the crucial role of these results in the calibration of constitutive models. More specifically, through these experiments we obtain measurements for various parameters, such as their strength, strain, elasticity measures and Poisson's ratio, which can be considered representative of the rock mass if repetition of these findings is observed in future procedures. Initially, before the specimens were shaped to perform the experiments, the heights of the borehole, discontinuities and the general condition of the rock mass were used to calculate two rock mass classification indices. These indices are the RQD, determined from rock cores or by counting discontinuities, and the RMR, determined by the sum of the scores of several parameters related to the properties of the fractured rock mass. The samples were processed in accordance with established standards, following European specifications and subjected to the necessary experimental tests where different types of strain gages attached to the rocks, for better accuracy. Finally, from the uniaxial compression experiments, it was found that the maximum strength values ranged from 54.7 MPa to 112.1 MPa and very low radial plastic strength values were obtained.
A Predictive Analytic Model for High-Performance Tunneling-Field Effect Transistors Approaching Non-Equilibrium Green's Function Simulations

description: A new compact modeling approach is presented which describes the full current-voltage (I-V) characteristic of high-performance (aggressively scaled-down) tunneling field-effect-transistors (TFETs) based on homojunction direct-bandgap semiconductors. The model is based on an analytic description of two key features, which capture the main physical phenomena related to TFETs: 1) the potential profile from source to channel, and 2) the elliptic curvature of the complex bands in the bandgap region. It is proposed to use 1D Poisson's equations in the source and the channel to describe the potential profile in homojunction TFETs. This allows to quantify the impact of source/drain doping on device performance, an aspect usually ignored in TFET modeling but highly relevant in ultra-scaled devices. The compact model is validated by comparison with state-of-the-art quantum transport simulations using a 3D full band atomistic approach based on Non-Equilibrium Green's Functions (NEGF). It is shown that the model reproduces with good accuracy the data obtained from the simulations in all regions of operation: the on/off states and the n/p branches of conduction. This approach allows calculation of energy-dependent band-toband tunneling currents in TFETs, a feature that allows gaining deep insights into the underlying device physics. The simplicity and accuracy of the approach provides a powerful tool to explore in a quantitatively manner how a wide variety of parameters (material-, size- and/or geometrydependent) impact the TFET performance under any bias conditions. The proposed model presents thus a practical complement to computationally expensive simulations such as the 3D NEGF approach.
