description: A cone spherical metric is called irreducible if any developing map of the metric does not have monodromy in ${\rm U(1)}$. By using the theory of indigenous bundles, we construct on a compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g_X \geq 1$ a canonical surjective map from the moduli space of stable extensions of two line bundles to that of irreducible metrics with cone angles in $2 π\mathbb{Z}_{>1}$, which is generically injective in the algebro-geometric sense as $g_X \geq 2$. As an application, we prove the following two results about irreducible metrics: $\bullet$ as $g_X \geq 2$ and $d$ is even and greater than $12g_X - 7$, the effective divisors of degree $d$ which could be represented by irreducible metrics form an arcwise connected Borel subset of Hausdorff dimension $\geq 2(d+3-3g_X)$ in ${\rm Sym}^d(X)$; $\bullet$ as $g_X \geq 1$, for almost every effective divisor $D$ of degree odd and greater than $2g_X-2$ on $X$, there exist finitely many cone spherical metrics representing $D$.

Creators: name: Brady, Rebecca
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

Abstract
Background: Access to support for behavioral and mental health in adolescents and young adults difficult. Depressive symptoms go unrecognized which can lead to severe symptoms, hospitalizations, and suicides. The lack of mental health services challenge the management of depression in this age group. Mindfulness may be a helpful tool in supporting mental health. Purpose: The purpose of this project was to improve depression symptoms among youth through engagement in mindfulness activities. Methods: A pre/post-intervention approach was used to measure the effectiveness of a synchronous, online educational platform to guide participants in mindfulness activities. Practice sessions were utilized based on evidence of previous studies and designed to support reduction of depressive symptoms. A paired t-test examined changes in PHQ-9 survey scores before and after mindfulness education and practice sessions. Results: The paired t-test results demonstrated that there was a significant difference between the two groups of PHQ-9 scores (p<0.05). Reduction of PHQ-9 scores indicated the depression symptoms were significantly improved after mindfulness education in adolescents and young adults. Discussion: Guiding participants through various forms of mindfulness activities allows them to understand and implement self-care. Participants chose the most effective mindfulness tool to support their own mental health. Strengths and weaknesses which gave rise to suggestions for further projects while nursing implications supported the quality improvement goal for the clinical site.
Conclusion: While mental health concerns continue to rise, nursing can support adolescents and young adults to develop self-care strategies like mindfulness practice in order to minimize depression symptoms, build resilience, and promote wellness.

description: We monitored the M87 jet with the ACIS-S detector on Chandra with 5 observations between 2002 Jan and 2002 Jul. Our goal was to determine the presence and degree of variability in morphology, intensity, and spectral parameters. We find strong variability of the core and HST-1, the knot lying 0.8" from the core. These observations were designed to constrain the X-ray emission process: whereas synchrotron emission would necessitate the presence of extremely high energy electrons with a halflife of a few years or less, inverse Compton emission from a relativistic jet would arise from low energy electrons with very long halflives. Currently, all indications point to a synchrotron process for the X-ray emission from the M87 jet. We give key parameters for a ``modest beaming'' synchrotron model.

description: This research focus to parang ilang, namely one of the tangible heritages in Iban’s culture. The uniqueness of parang ilang are showed through strength features, greatness, dignity, horror and mystification explained through physical aspect and non-physical. Once, parang ilang is a weapon used in tradition of head-hunting by warrior group of Iban in battle field. To warrior by group of Iban, parang ilang ownership is a symbolic of courage and their excellence when fighting with their enemies. After the end of tradition head-hunting, mostly parang ilang are widely used for daily activity by Iban people. When the Iban people beginning to think about arts and aesthetic values that wish to be absorbed towards parang ilang, the need to be refined from manufacturing aspect and motive decoration resignation that underlie to their culture. Apart from that, application of arts and aesthetic values also translate into one of the therapies for soul and mind a society. Furthermore, application of arts and aesthetic values towards parang ilang are need to be planned meticulously so that in the art and form appearance will portray soul which could be seen communicating to Iban’s culture. Through the application of arts and aesthetic values towards parang ilang, it aims to show the philosophy of Iban society to different community. Individual involved in generating parang ilang beside those who have the knowledge on the object were interviewed in order to obtain this research data. Apart from that, application of arts and aesthetic values on object like parang ilang are very important to fulfil society's aspiration and to increase appreciation of this values. So, it can be concluded that art and society cannot be divided because it is one of the therapies for soul, taste and mind thinking of society towards undergoing life that follow premier mainstream.

Education to Reduce Use of Mechanical Restraints in an Inpatient Psychiatric Hospital
Creators: name: Njuguna, Daniel K
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

Background: Evidence suggests that there is extensive use of mechanical restraints in inpatient psychiatric hospitals in the United States. This practice has adverse implications on patients, nurses and mental health professionals, and the overall organization. Reliance on other strategies apart from mechanical restraints is plausible and can increase the quality of treatment. Diverse interventions such as capitalizing on service user-centered crisis resolution tools or plans, relying on debriefings following mechanical restraint experiences, imparting knowledge to staff in de-escalation techniques, improving data sharing and quality reporting, and creating a crisis response team have been suggested.
Purpose: This quality improvement project was designed to explore the effectiveness of education and training in enhancing the knowledge and awareness of healthcare professionals in an inpatient psychiatric hospital in reducing the use of mechanical restraints.
Methods: Fulltime and per diem registered nurses, mental health technicians (MHTs), ARNPs, and the MDs working in two acute psychiatric units in an impatient psychiatric hospital took part in an educational session on risk assessment, critical thinking, and decision-making skills in mechanical restraint use. A pre-test was administered to participants prior to educational sessions to measure their knowledge and awareness of restraint use reduction and a post-test was administered four to six weeks later to evaluate the impact of the intervention provided.
Results: Education and training can significantly improve healthcare professionals’ knowledge and awareness in reducing the use of mechanical restraints. The average pre-test score of 1.81 increased to an average post-test score of 4.47, indicating a substantial improvement in knowledge and awareness.

description: An analysis of Lyman series lines arising from hydrogen-like oxygen and neon ions in the coronae of the active RS CVn-type binaries II Peg and IM Peg, observed using the {\it Chandra} High Resolution Transmission Grating Spectrograph, shows significant decrements in the Ly$α$/Ly$β$ ratios as compared with theoretical predictions and with the same ratios observed in similar active binaries. We interpret these decrements in terms of resonance scattering of line photons out of the line-of-sight; these observations present the first strong evidence for this effect in active stellar coronae. The net line photon loss implies a non-uniform and asymmetric surface distribution of emitting structures on these stars. Escape probability arguments, together with the observed line ratios and estimates of the emitting plasma density, imply typical line-of-sight sizes of the coronal structures that dominate the X-ray emission of $10^{10}$ cm at temperatures of $3\times 10^6$ K and of $10^8$ cm at $10^7$ K. These sizes are an order of magnitude larger than predicted by simple quasi-static coronal loops models, but are still very small compared to the several $10^{11}$ cm radii of the underlying stars.

description: This paper proposes using a control function to correct for endogeneity in recreation demand models. The control function approach is contrasted with the method of alternative specific constants (ASCs), which has been promoted in prior research. As an application, we consider the case of travel cost endogeneity in the demand for Great Lakes recreational fishing. Using data on Michigan anglers, we employ a random utility model of site choice. We show that either ASCs or the control function will correct for travel cost endogeneity, although we find that the model with ASCs produces significantly weaker results. Overall, compared with traditional approaches control functions may offer a more flexible means to eliminate endogeneity in recreation demand models.

description: This study focused on investigating how respondents’ perceptions of biotechnology used in food production differs depending on the level of product transformation (i.e. fresh versus processed food). Using cluster analysis, respondents were clustered into two groups, genetically engineered (GE) tolerant and GE sensitive, based on changes in their perceptions about fresh apples and apple juice produced with and without biotechnology. Comparisons of respondents from six countries were performed to measure relative attitudes about biotech food. In addition, three types of positive information about biotechnology were tested in order to determine what types of information influences respondents’ GE tolerance. Results indicate that respondents were less likely to change their initial health perception for apple juice than for fresh apples when produced from trees that were genetically modified. The residency effect was strong and heterogeneous: respondents of Japan were much more sensitive than respondents of Spain and the United States.
Enhancing Transgender Informed Healthcare for Nursing Students: An Educational Intervention
Creators: name: Bass, Olivia
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2023

Background: Limited teaching of transgender related healthcare competencies is seen in baccalaureate nursing curriculum, resulting in inadequate preparation of healthcare providers to care for this population of patients. This discord can prevent transgender patients from seeking healthcare and affect access to needed services. Purpose: The purpose of this DNP project was to educate accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing students at an institute of higher education on providing culturally responsive healthcare for transgender patients. Methods: An in-person educational intervention focused on improving clinical and cultural knowledge for transgender patients was implemented and evaluated. A pre-intervention survey and post-intervention survey were utilized to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and skills of students prior to the intervention and immediately after the intervention using the Sexual Orientation Counselor Competency Scale (SOCCS). Results: Overall SOCCS scores (paired t(40)= -5.508, p <.001), and the scores for the sub-domains of skills (paired t (40  = -5.817, p <.001)  and knowledge (paired t(40) = -2.51, p = 0.016), significantly increased from the pre-survey to the post-survey  while the means for the sub-domain of attitudinal awareness did increase, but this increase was not statistically significant (paired t(40)  = -.601, p = .551). Conclusion: The statistically significant improvement of overall SOCCS scores, as well as the sub-domains of skills and knowledge indicate that education is a key component in creating inclusive healthcare environments and preparing future healthcare professionals to provide culturally appropriate care to the transgender patient population.

description: In this study, economic implications of allocating surface water with the existing policy (seniority rule) and three other alternative (People First, proportional reduction, and trading) policies are investigated to address potential water scarcities in the Bow River Sub Basin (BRSB) of Southern Alberta using a mathematical programming model. The model used an improved calibration technique and 2008 data for three irrigation and three non-irrigation sector users in the BRSB. Results indicate that while the seniority rule favours senior license holding irrigation users and the People First policy favors municipal sector users, irrigation users are better off with the proportional allocation policy even though it affects all users across-the-board. Moreover, if the users can participate in a costless trade, then non-irrigation users tend to buy water as they place high value of water at the margin. Some irrigation users find selling water more profitable than utilizing their allocations for crop production.
Dynamical evidence for an early giant planet instability

description: The dynamical structure of the Solar System can be explained by a period of orbital instability experienced by the giant planets. While a late instability was originally proposed to explain the Late Heavy Bombardment, recent work favors an early instability. We model the early dynamical evolution of the outer Solar System to self-consistently constrain the most likely timing of the instability. We first simulate the dynamical sculpting of the primordial outer planetesimal disk during the accretion of Uranus and Neptune from migrating planetary embryos during the gas disk phase, and determine the separation between Neptune and the inner edge of the planetesimal disk. We performed simulations with a range of migration histories for Jupiter. We find that, unless Jupiter migrated inwards by 10 AU or more, the instability almost certainly happened within 100 Myr of the start of Solar System formation. There are two distinct possible instability triggers. The first is an instability that is triggered by the planets themselves, with no appreciable influence from the planetesimal disk. Of those, the median instability time is $\sim4$Myr. Among self-stable systems -- where the planets are locked in a resonant chain that remains stable in the absence of a planetesimal's disk-- our self-consistently sculpted planetesimal disks nonetheless trigger a giant planet instability with a median instability time of 37-62 Myr for a reasonable range of migration histories of Jupiter. The simulations that give the latest instability times are those that invoked long-range inward migration of Jupiter from 15 AU or beyond; however these simulations over-excited the inclinations of Kuiper belt objects and are inconsistent with the present-day Solar System. We conclude on dynamical grounds that the giant planet instability is likely to have occurred early in Solar System history.

description: For any inclusive reaction of the type $A_1({spin} 1/2)+ A_2({spin} 1/2) \to B + X$, we derive new positivity constraints on spin observables and study their implications for theoretical models in view, in particular, of accounting for future data from the polarized $pp$ collider at BNL-RHIC. We find that the single transverse spin asymmetry $A_N$ for several processes, in the central region for example jet production, direct photon production, lepton-pair production, must be such that $|A_N| \lappeq 1/2$, rather than the usual bound $|A_N| \leq 1$.

description: The Global Food Price Crisis of 2007-2011 had mixed effects on the poor in developing nations. By some estimates, the Crisis lifted nearly 24 million poor farmers out of poverty; however, it also cast 68 million net food buyers into poverty. In this paper, we analyze the distributional impacts of the Crisis and the merits of different food security policies proposed to address it, focusing on policies that employ buffer stock reserves, direct cash transfers, emergency export bans, and transportation infrastructure enhancements. Of special interest are how the impacts of these policies differ among the rural and urban poor and between importing and exporting countries. Our analysis is based on a stylized stochastic dynamic heterogeneous agent model of a developing country exposed to aggregate food production and world food price risk that is populated by rural and urban poor who suffer from "malnutrition" whenever their resources are insufficient to meet basic nutritional needs.
On the origin of the HI holes in the interstellar medium of dwarf irregular galaxies
Creators: name: Dib, Sami

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004

description: We suggest that large HI holes observed in the interstellar medium (ISM) of galaxies such as the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Holmberg II (Ho II, DDO 50, UGC 4305) can form as the combined result of turbulence coupled to thermal and gravitational instabilities. We investigate this problem with three dimensional hydrodynamical simulations, taking into account cooling and heating processes and the action of the self-gravity of the gas. We construct an algorithm for radiative transfer to post-process the simulated data and build emission maps in the 21 cm neutral hydrogen line. With this approach, we are able to reproduce the structure of the shells and holes as observed in regions of the ISM, where no stellar activity is detected. In order to quantify the comparison of our synthetic maps to the observations, we calculate the physical scale-autocorrelation length relation (L-L_{cr} relation) both on the synthetic HI maps and the HI map of Ho II. The L-L_{cr} relation shows a linear increase of the autocorrelation length with the physical scale up to the scale of energy injection and flattens for larger scales. The comparison of the L-L_{cr} relation between the observations and the synthetic maps suggests that turbulence is driven in the ISM of Ho II on large scales (~ 6 kpc). The slope of the L-L_{cr} relation in the linear regime in Ho II is better reproduced by models where turbulence is coupled with a weak efficiency cooling of the gas. These results demonstrate the importance of the interplay between turbulence and the thermodynamics of the gas for structure formation in the ISM. Our analysis can be used to determine the scale on which kinetic energy is injected in the ISM of dwarf irregular galaxies, and to derive, in a first approximation, the cooling rate of the gas.

description: Histone variants regulate replication, transcription, DNA damage repair, and chromosome segregation. Though widely accepted as a paradigm, it has not been rigorously demonstrated that histone variants encode unique mechanical properties. Here, we present a new theoretical approach called Minimal Cylinder Analysis (MCA) to determine the Young's modulus of nucleosomes from all-atom Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Recently, we validated this computational analysis against in vitro single-molecule nanoindentation of histone variant nucleosomes. In this report, we further extend MCA to study the biophysical properties of hybrid nucleosomes that are known to exist in human cancer cells and contain H3 histone variants CENP-A and H3.3. We investigate the mechanism by which the elasticity of these heterotypic nucleosomes augments cryptic binding surfaces. Further, we derive biological predictions that might arise when such heterotypic nucleosomes take over large parts of the genome.

description: In this paper, we investigate morphisms of tautological control systems. Given a tautological control system $\mathfrak{H}$ on the manifold N and a mapping $Φ: M \to N$, we study existence of tautological control system $\mathfrak{G}$ on the manifold $M$ such that there exists a trajectory-preserving morphism $(Φ, Φ^ #)$ from $\mathfrak{G}$ to $\mathfrak{H}$. Sufficient conditions are given such that reachability of $\mathfrak{H}$ implies the reachability of $\mathfrak{G}$. Correspondence between the notion of lifting ordinary control systems and morphisms of tautological control systems are examined. We give an application of the above results to the class of second-order type control systems, where the special structure of second-order type leads to additional results.

description: Deliverable 2.2 intends to recall the strategy adopted by EPOS to engage stakeholders as well as on the related engagement activities after three years from the starting of the project.

In accordance with its scientific vision of creating a pan-European infrastructure to support solid Earth research, the EPOS mission is to integrate the diverse and advanced European Research Infrastructures for solid Earth science, relying on new e-science opportunities. In this context, to reach the goal of having maximum exploitation in terms of both large volume of used services and a large number of users, “engagement” means the active participation and direct contribution of very diverse stakeholders to the initiative. Referring to EPOS, diverse stakeholder categories mean the solid Earth scientists, but also scientists belonging to disciplines outside the solid Earth domain, decision-makers, private sector and, critically, society.

The action of engaging requires effective dissemination and communication toward target audiences aimed at fostering their involvement to the EPOS enterprise. Generally speaking, workshops, meetings, teleconferences, written documents are the most effective tools for interacting with stakeholders that are already involved in EPOS, e.g., scientists within the solid Earth domains, IT experts, governments. The latter stakeholders’ categories continuously need to be maintained informed and involved. Brokerage events and dedicated tools such as web, social media, reports promotional and dissemination material targeted to each different audience are the best way to succeed in inspiring and eventually engaging potential stakeholders, e.g., data users within and outside the solid Earth domain, private sector, society.

description: Turkey has experienced important sociodemographic and economic changes shaping food markets with the resultant significant changes on the consumers’ away from home and at home food consumptions. We analyze the effects of socio-demographic and economic factors of expenditures on food away from home (FAFH) and food at home food (FAH) for both urban and rural households. The study is based on the 2009 Turkish Household Expenditure Survey data and we model the food expenditure patterns using the multivariate sample selection approach. The empirical results suggest that urban households tend to spend more on FAFH than FAH as income increases, while the reverse is true for rural households. Other socio- demographic factors of households show varying impacts on FAFH and FAH between the two household groups.

Primary care providers (PCPs) are responsible for the medical management of patients with chronic illness. Unfortunately, many PCPs do not adhere to national guidelines. This quality improvement (QI) project was designed to use the Awareness-to-Adherence theory to strengthen the PCPs understanding of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) guideline for the testing frequency of Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1c (A1c) in patients with diabetes mellitus Type 2 (DM2). Before implementation of the project, PCPs ordered the A1c per ADA guideline on 37% of their patients with DM2. After the QI project the PCPs ordered the A1c per ADA guidelines on 65% of patients with DM2; a net gain of 28%.

description: The critical phase transition in ferromagnetic ultrathin Fe/W(110) films has been studied using the magnetic ac susceptibility. A statistically objective, unconstrained fitting of the susceptibility is used to extract values for the critical exponent (gamma), the critical temperature Tc, the critical amplitude (chi_o) and the range of temperature that exhibits power-law behaviour. A fitting algorithm was used to simultaneously minimize the statistical variance of a power law fit to individual experimental measurements of chi(T). This avoids systematic errors and generates objective fitting results. An ensemble of 25 measurements on many different films are analyzed. Those which permit an extended fitting range in reduced temperature lower than approximately .00475 give an average value gamma=1.76+-0.01. Bilayer films give a weighted average value of gamma = 1.75+-0.02. These results are in agreement with the -dimensional Ising exponent gamma= 7/4. Measurements that do not exhibit power-law scaling as close to Tc (especially films of thickness 1.75ML) show a value of gamma higher than the Ising value. Several possibilities are considered to account for this behaviour.

Nonstaticity with type II, III, or IV matter field in $f(R_{μνρσ},g^{μν})$ gravity

description: In all $n(\ge 3)$-dimensional gravitation theories whose Lagrangians are functions of the Riemann tensor and metric, we show that static solutions are absent unless the total energy-momentum tensor for matter fields is of type I in the Hawking-Ellis classification. In other words, there is no hypersurface-orthogonal timelike Killing vector in a spacetime region with an energy-momentum tensor of type II, III, or IV. This asserts that, if back-reaction is taken into account to give a self-consistent solution, ultra-dense regions with a semiclassical type-IV matter field cannot be static even with higher-curvature correction terms. As a consequence, a static Planck-mass relic is possible as a final state of an evaporating black hole only if the semiclassical total energy-momentum tensor is of type I.

description: Small farms and ranches represent 90% of all farms in the Intermountain West and hence, their long-term success and viability is important to the economic survival of their communities and the supply of local foods to direct and retail markets. The success of small farms is seemingly enhanced by the growing consumer demand for fresh, local foods, expansion of direct market outlets, access to and use of smaller fragmented lands, production of high-value crops, as well as multiple-enterprise or diversified activities such as agritourism and farms stands/stores. However, recent USDA reports show a lack of profitability or sustainability among small farms in the U.S. This study examines common success factors among small-scale diversified farms in Utah, Idaho, and Nevada using producer survey data collected in 2012. Study results will discuss relevant measures of success, as well as the operation’s owner, financial, land, market, and other attributes found to be most common in determining long-term success.
A Regularized Free Form Estimator for Dark Energy

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We construct a simple, regularized estimator for the dark energy equation of state by using the recently introduced linear response approximation. We show that even a simple regularization substantially improves the performance of the free form fitting approach. The use of linear response approximation allows an analytic construction of maximum likelihood estimator, in a convenient and easy to use matrix form. We show that in principle, such regularized free form fitting can give us an unbiased estimate of the functional form of the equation of state of dark energy. We show the efficacy of this approach on a simulated SNAP class data, but it is easy to generalize this method to include other cosmological tests. We provide a possible explanation for the sweet spots seen in other reconstruction methods.

Dipion invariant mass spectrum in $X(3872) \to J/ψππ$

description: It is pointed out that dipion invariant mass spectrum in $X (3872) \to ππJ/ψ$ is a useful probe for the $J^{PC}$ quantum number of the X(3872), complementary to the angular distributions. If X(3872) is a $^1 P_1$ state, the dipion has a peak at low $m_{ππ}$ region, which is not in accord with the preliminary Belle data. If X(3872) is a $^3 D_2$ or $^3 D_3$ state, the dipion spectrum shows a peak at high $m_{ππ}$ region, which is broader than the $ρ$ resonance that might come from the decay of a molecular state: $(D \bar{D^*}) (I=1) \to J/ψρ\to J/ψπ^+ π^-$. Better measurement of $m_{ππ}$ spectrum will shed light on the nature of X(3872).

Light-front Schwinger Model at Finite Temperature

description: We study the light-front Schwinger model at finite temperature following the recent proposal in \cite{alves}. We show that the calculations are carried out efficiently by working with the full propagator for the fermion, which also avoids subtleties that arise with light-front regularizations. We demonstrate this with the calculation of the zero temperature anomaly. We show that temperature dependent corrections to the anomaly vanish, consistent with the results from the calculations in the conventional quantization. The gauge self-energy is seen to have the expected non-analytic behavior at finite temperature, but does not quite coincide with the conventional results. However, the two structures are exactly the same on-shell. We show that temperature does not modify the bound state equations and that the fermion condensate has the same behavior at finite temperature as that obtained in the conventional quantization.

description: Using a unique county-level panel on crop yields and daily weather dataset over the past decade, we estimate the impact of climate change on corn and soybean yields in China. Our results suggest the existence of nonlinear and asymmetric relationships between corn and soybean yields and climate variables. We find that extreme high temperatures are always harmful for crop growth. Moreover, the rapid expansion of corn and soybean acreages at both intensive- and extensive margins had detrimental effects on corn and soybean yields. Using estimated coefficients, we estimate changing climate conditions over the study period has led to an economic loss of $220 million in 2009 alone in China’s corn and soybean sectors. Corn yields in China are predicted to decrease by 2-5% under the slowest warming scenario and by 5-15% under the fastest warming scenario by the end of the century. The reductions in soybean yields are found to be more pronounced, about 5-10% and 8-22%, respectively.
