description: Fluctuation dynamos are generic to turbulent astrophysical systems. The only analytical model of the fluctuation dynamo, due to Kazantsev, assumes the velocity to be delta-correlated in time. This assumption breaks down for any realistic turbulent flow. We generalize the analytic model of fluctuation dynamo to include the effects of a finite correlation time, $τ$, using renewing flows. The generalized evolution equation for the longitudinal correlation function $M_L$ leads to the standard Kazantsev equation in the $τ\to 0$ limit, and extends it to the next order in $τ$. We find that this evolution equation involves also third and fourth spatial derivatives of $M_L$, indicating that the evolution for finite $τ$ will be non-local in general. In the perturbative case of small-$τ$ (or small Strouhl number), it can be recast using the Landau-Lifschitz approach, to one with at most second derivatives of $M_L$. Using both a scaling solution and the WKBJ approximation, we show that the dynamo growth rate is reduced when the correlation time is finite. Interestingly, to leading order in $τ$, we show that the magnetic power spectrum, preserves the Kazantsev form, $M(k) \propto k^{3/2}$, in the large $k$ limit, independent of $τ$.

Creators: name: Sullivan, Anthony
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2006

description: This research addresses the question, 'what is the relationship between young peoples' consumption of branded goods and their sense of identity'? It reveals consumption to be some way from the picture presented in postmodem analyses, which emphasise pleasure and play. Amongst my sample of twenty focus groups of late teenage students, concern about class and gender position and status, or what Bourdieu terms 'distinction', emerges as the key framework which informs their 'choices' as consumers, and their subjective sense of identity. The judgements they make about self, other and group identity suggest consuming brands is a cultural practice which is marked by strong discursive, scopic and classificatory dimensions. These inform a series of popular stereotypes from 'Townies' and 'Skanky birds' to 'Essex boys.' Such categorisations are materialised in, and embodied by, teenagers' taste in, and use of, branded goods. They affect, not just those who are 'othered', but those who do the 'othering', reducing choice and contributing to forms of class and gender invective, social distancing and, drawing on Bourdieu's work, to wider processes of 'symbolic violence'. In the context of these dimensions, and the prevalence of talk about bullying, my findings support the need for a more critically circumspect approach. Such a framework, needs to be one which is able to take full account of consumption as an embodied set of classed and gendered, material and symbolic, emotional as well as reflexive practices. Consuming Brands shows, young people's negotiation of the dilemma of a 'personalised versus commodified' experience of the self, is one fraught with social risks and emotional stresses. These are unequally shared in class and gender terms. The accounts given, of being addressed, and acting, as consuming subjects, reveal the contradictory nature of the subjective experience of consumption, psychosocially, and the limited choice and agency, it affords.

A Structured-Population Model of Proteus mirabilis Swarm-Colony Development

description: In this paper we present continuous age- and space-structured models and numerical computations of Proteus mirabilis swarm-colony development. We base the mathematical representation of the cell-cycle dynamics of Proteus mirabilis on those developed by Esipov and Shapiro, which are the best understood aspects of the system, and we make minimum assumptions about less-understood mechanisms, such as precise forms of the spatial diffusion. The models in this paper have explicit age-structure and, when solved numerically, display both the temporal and spatial regularity seen in experiments, whereas the Esipov and Shapiro model, when solved accurately, shows only the temporal regularity. The composite hyperbolic-parabolic partial differential equations used to model Proteus mirabilis swarm-colony development are relevant to other biological systems where the spatial dynamics depend on local physiological structure. We use computational methods designed for such systems, with known convergence properties, to obtain the numerical results presented in this paper.

description: The introduction of improved technology is changing the way health systems and providers care for patients. One of the largest disruptors is the rise in virtual health options. Virtual health is helping fill existing gaps in care, provide around-the-clock services, and ultimately expand access to medical care. The rapid rise of improved technology coupled with increasing patient desires to engage in the digital delivery of care is making it easier for health systems and providers across the globe to adopt virtual health strategies. Telehealth is on the rise and will continue to accelerate following the COVID-19 pandemic which significantly changed the public’s expectation of care. Now, health systems and providers are seeking ways to meet patient demands while improving the delivery and experience of telehealth and other virtual care services. To help improve the patient and provider experience, this project was designed to fill some of the existing voids in telehealth. Through a series of interviews, the study revealed challenges in patient awareness, communication, and messaging, as well as a provider’s ability to connect and engage with patients in a virtual environment. The results of this study helped inform a guide complete with a series of resources, templates, and best practices in areas like messaging and staging virtual environments with the goal of enhancing the patient and provider experience.

description: We demonstrate electrical control of ferromagnetism in field-effect transistors with a trilayer quantum well (QW) channel containing an ultrathin n-type ferromagnetic semiconductor (In,Fe)As layer. A gate voltage is applied to control the electron wavefunctions ϕi in the QW, such that the overlap of ϕi and the (In,Fe)As layer is modified. The Curie temperature is largely changed by 42%, whereas the change in sheet carrier concentration is 2 - 3 orders of magnitude smaller than that of previous gating experiments. This result provides a new approach for versatile, low power, and ultrafast manipulation of magnetization.

description: In a world where technology is woven into every facet of our lives, we find ourselves living in a data-rich society. For businesses and organizations, this means data security has become a critical aspect of their businesses. The impact of a data breach on an organization is potentially staggering, and often unknown until the results come to fruition. A successful cyberattack can cause major damage to a business or organization impacting a customer’s trust.  Cybersecurity and cyber incident recovery are not just problems related to information technology. Instead, cyberbreaches wreak havoc on the business or organizations’ reputation becoming a pivotal public relations issue, if not properly managed and communicated to various audiences, including the public. A strategic communications plan should be integrated into cybersecurity efforts to protect the long-term reputation of an organization or business.  This project reviews both academic research and industry practices to inform the development of a guide for communication professionals handling crisis management for a cyberbreach. A digital manual format was created, and a prototype was developed and tested as a concept with a group of industry professionals (n=51) to assess perceptions of content, format, and effectiveness. According to the findings, overall support of the content, as well as willingness to recommend this type of manual to other communication practitioners.

description: Digital marketing is the transformation of businesses and organizational landscapes – be it opening access to global markets and communities of interest, uncovering new pricing models, revolutionizing the placement and distribution of products, transforming media, facilitating greater collaboration and efficiency within organizations, or empowering consumers to demand new customer-centric marketing models (Kaufman & Horton, 2014). To successfully operate a business today, modern marketing strategies must be implemented to keep pace with competition, and marketers must lead with a digital-first mindset to meet their audiences where they are most likely to be found: online and digitally. Traditional marketing tactics, such as television commercials and magazine advertisements, should integrate with today’s digital communication methods in order for companies to prosper or even survive (Brabandere, 2016).

description: We present multiscale models of cancer tumor invasion with components at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels. We provide biological justifications for the model components, present computational results from the model, and discuss the scientific-computing methodology used to solve the model equations. The models and methodology presented in this paper form the basis for developing and treating increasingly complex, mechanistic models of tumor invasion that will be more predictive and less phenomenological. Because many of the features of the cancer models, such as taxis, aging and growth, are seen in other biological systems, the models and methods discussed here also provide a template for handling a broader range of biological problems.
title: The Symbolic Production of Culture in Discourses on Fashion in Le Monde and The Guardian: A Critical Application of the Work of Bourdieu
Creators: name: Rocamora, Agnes
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2002

description: By way of a textual analysis of the reports on high fashion shows of the French newspaper Le Monde and the British newspaper The Guardian, this study is a reflection on Bourdieu's sociology of culture. Drawing on Bourdieu's notion of symbolic production, I comment on the construction of fashion as popular culture in The Guardian and as high culture in Le Monde. The investigation of the versions of culture constructed by the two newspapers allows me to reflect on the theoretical framework Bourdieu has developed in his discussion of the field of culture and the traditional opposition between the high and the popular which structures it. Bourdieu's sociology is a product of a specific field of production, the French: like many French researchers, he shows little interest in mass culture - his sociology of the field of fashion is a case in point -, and privileges culture as high culture. Popular culture - working class culture - is not acknowledged as a culture per se. Many of Bourdieu's concepts, such as 'cultural capital' or 'symbolic production' can usefully be applied to an analysis of the field of popular culture, but this is a step he does not take. If adequate to understand certain cultural experiences and discourses, Bourdieu's model is inadequate to understand others, but proves to be a rigid theoretical model which fails to account for the complexity and diversity of the field of popular culture, and ultimately fails to break with the cultural doxa. Finally, although Bourdieu insists that sociologists should pay attention to the discourses of symbolic production of culture, he himself fails to engage with them, focusing on their field production rather than on the meanings they convey. In contrast, this study is concerned with the meanings created in the process of symbolic production of fashion.
Spontaneously broken time-reversal symmetry in high-temperature superconductors

description: Conventional superconductors are strong diamagnets that through the Meissner effect expel magnetic fields. It would therefore be surprising if a superconducting ground state would support spontaneous magnetics fields. Such time-reversal symmetry broken states have been proposed for the high-temperature superconductors, but their identification remains experimentally controversial. Here we show a route to a low-temperature superconducting state with broken time-reversal symmetry that may accommodate currently conflicting experiments. This state is characterised by an unusual vortex pattern in the form of a necklace of fractional vortices around the perimeter of the material, where neighbouring vortices have opposite current circulation. This vortex pattern is a result of a spectral rearrangement of current carrying states near the surfaces.
title: The Impact of Action Research on Practitioners' Thinking: A Supporting Case for Action Research as a Method of Professional Development
Creators: name: Rose, Janet
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2001

description: This thesis considers the role of action research in the development of practitioners' thinking. An empirical and theoretical evaluation is made of the way in which the conduct of action research affected the reflexive thought processes of twenty-five early years practitioners who undertook this form of professional development as part of the Principles into Practice Research Project based at Goldsmiths' College. In particular, this study aims to provide a clearer indication of action research's acclaimed capacity for extending practitioners' critical analysis of their practice and to help narrow the empirical gap between the idealistic assumptions of action research and the reality of its transformatory power. The importance of practitioners' thinking in determining quality of practice is highlighted and the potential for action research to influence and develop this thinking is considered. The thesis establishes a theoretical rationale of the thinking process and critical reflection within action research. Key characteristics are traced and grounded within various conceptual models of cognition and critical thinking drawn from a variety of sources within the fields of cognitive science and adult development. The theoretical framework is also utilised as an exploratory and explanatory mechanism with which to interrogate the research data. The major themes that emerged from the codification process of the data analysis are demonstrated with supporting evidence. These are linked to major theoretical constructs in the broader literature so that the full significance of action research's impact is ascertained and any critical facets determined. The findings reveal action research's capacity to influence practitioners' thinking by providing a coherent structure with which to organise their thinking and by sharpening and deepening their levels of consciousness. It provides a means of affirming good practice, but more importantly, of challenging misguided practice so that more valid interpretations of reality emerge. It stimulates a more critical and questioning frame of mind which helps to unearth ingrained assumptions about practice and generate more worthwhile educational provision. It also gives rise to an emotionally empowering process which imbues practitioners with a more critical disposition. The emancipatory potential of action research is also highlighted, as is its role in contributing to social justice. The thesis is premised upon the belief that the key to educational quality centres around the individual practitioner. The research presented here offers a compelling case for action research as a favourable strategy for professional development. It bolsters the assertions made by advocates of action research's potential to bring about improved quality of educational practice by improving the quality of practitioners' thinking and generating a more critical orientation towards practice.

We find that these measures of quantum nonclassicality are able to detect the quantum phase transitions confining the symmetry protected Haldane phase and show critical scaling with universal exponents. Moreover, in the case of thermal states, we find that quantum discord can increase with increasing temperature.

Modeling the Role of the Cell Cycle in Regulating Proteus mirabilis Swarm-Colony Development

Subjects: subject: Cell Behavior (q-bio.CB)

description: We present models and computational results which indicate that the spatial and temporal regularity seen in Proteus mirabilis swarm-colony development is largely an expression of a sharp age of dedifferentiation in the cell cycle from motile swarmer cells to immotile dividing cells (also called swimmer or vegetative cells.) This contrasts strongly with reaction-diffusion models of Proteus behavior that ignore or average out the age structure of the cell population and instead use only density-dependent mechanisms. We argue the necessity of retaining the explicit age structure, and suggest experiments that may help determine the underlying mechanisms empirically. Consequently, we advocate Proteus as a model organism for a multiscale understanding of how and to what extent the life cycle of individual cells affects the macroscopic behavior of a biological system.

description: We derive a physiologically structured multiscale model for biofilm development. The model has components on two spatial scales, which induce different time scales into the problem. The macroscopic behavior of the system is modeled using growth-induced flow in a domain with a moving boundary. Cell-level processes are incorporated into the model using a so-called physiologically structured variable to represent cell senescence, which in turn affects cell division and mortality. We present computational results for our models which shed light on modeling the combined role senescence and the biofilm state play in the defense strategy of bacteria.

description: In economics, insurance and finance, value at risk (VaR) is a widely used measure of the risk of loss on a specific portfolio of financial assets. For a given portfolio, time horizon, and probability $α$, the $100α\%$ VaR is defined as a threshold loss value, such that the probability that the loss on the portfolio over the given time horizon exceeds this value is $α$. That is to say, it is a quantile of the distribution of the losses, which has both good analytic properties and easy interpretation as a risk measure. However, its extension to the multivariate framework is not unique because a unique definition of multivariate quantile does not exist. In the current literature, the multivariate quantiles are related to a specific partial order considered in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, or to a property of the univariate quantile that is desirable to be extended to $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. In this work, we introduce a multivariate value at risk as a vector-valued directional risk measure, based on a directional multivariate quantile, which has recently been introduced in the literature. The directional approach allows the manager to consider external information or risk preferences in her/his analysis. We have derived some properties of the risk measure and we have compared the univariate \textit{VaR} over the marginals with the components of the directional multivariate VaR. We have also analyzed the relationship between some families of copulas, for which it is possible to obtain closed forms of the multivariate VaR that we propose. Finally, comparisons with other alternative multivariate VaR given in the literature, are provided in terms of robustness.

Here, we designed twenty new analogs to investigate the structure–activity relationship effects for all three functional groups attached to the triazole core. We identified specific groups that are critical for KOR potency and further extended the range of moieties explored. These efforts revealed analogs with potency on par with our lead triazole probe molecule, Triazole 1.1, in addition to analogs possessing a spectrum of less potent KOR agonist activity.

Perceptions of Long-Acting Injectable Antiretroviral Therapy among Hispanic and Latino People Living with HIV and HIV Healthcare Providers
Creators: name: Volcan, Andrea

Year: 2022

description: In January 2021, the Food and Drug Administration approved a monthly long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy (LA ART) as an alternative to daily oral antiretroviral (ART) HIV treatment for people living with HIV (PLHIV). Interest in LA ART remains substantially understudied beyond clinical trials, particularly among PLHIV identifying as Hispanic or Latino. The aim of this study was to characterize LA ART perceptions and concerns among Hispanic and Latino PLHIV and Hispanic and Latino HIV healthcare providers in a US setting. Qualitative in-depth interviews with 16 PLHIV and 10 HIV healthcare providers were conducted at one clinic in the United States from January to April 2021 as part of the Shared Decisions when Choosing between Long-Acting Injecting or Oral Therapy (SELIGO) study.  Interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide and analyzed through (1) narrative summaries to understand individual perspectives, (2) coding of interview transcripts in their source language (English or Spanish) using Dedoose to identify recurring themes across participants, and (3) code summaries to condense and compare findings across participant characteristics. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model was applied to frame the analytic approach of multilevel factors that influence Hispanic and Latino PLHIV’s interest in LA ART. My findings show that while Hispanic and Latino PLHIV were positive about LA ART given its perceived convenience compared to daily pills, providers were concerned with the added workload this could impose on clinic staff and general operations. Efforts should be made to recruit more Hispanic and Latino and gender-diverse people into LA ART clinical trials to better understand individual community needs and preferences with the hope of increasing uptake. The creation of a mobile and online app specifically for LA ART would support these efforts. To make valid predictions about possible PLHIV and provider preferences and uptake, future research needs to understand whether and how LA ART can be woven into the lives of Hispanic and Latino PLHIV within an ecological framework.

description: Monitoring factors that contribute to repetitive head impact exposure (RHIE) in collegiate American football may provide necessary information to reduce the risk of injury. Interestingly, head impact frequency and physical demands vary across position groups and session types, but the effects of these factors are poorly understood. We aimed to determine if physical load burden predicted RHIE while considering various characteristics of gameplay. Forty-one players were prospectively observed across four seasons. Catapult Vector GPS monitoring system were used to quantify player load, and Head Impact Telemetry System to quantify head impact kinematics. Player load was associated with RHIE (p<0.001). Season-long player load predicted season-long RHIE (R2=0.31; p<0.001). Position group effected in-session player load (p=0.025). Both player load and RHIE was greater in games than practices (p<0.001), but position group had no effect (p=0.343). Physical load burden was found to be associated with RHIE among Division I collegiate American football players.

description: As climate change increases the frequency, intensity, and scope of disasters, the world is seeing a stark increase in disasters that transcend borders and put individuals and communities in danger. Eastern North Carolina is in the midst of recovery from simultaneous disasters: extreme weather and the COVID pandemic. The magnitude of the effects of disasters is catastrophic, yet the burden is not evenly distributed. Specifically, the effects of these disasters are even greater for migrant farmworkers, who already face extensive structural vulnerabilities such as occupational hazards, exploitation, lack of legal documentation, isolation, and marginalization. This project examines how various governmental and non-governmental organizations that focus on migrant and farmworker well-being have responded to simultaneous disasters that affect these communities. Through qualitative data from oral history interviews collected from five government agency and community organization employees dedicated to assisting migrants, I analyzed the needs and assets of farmworker communities, as well as the role of governmental and nongovernmental organizations, and multilevel collaboration between organizations to respond effectively to disaster. Implications for how study findings might inform the work of organizational leaders, governmental agencies, and all relevant stakeholders engaged in disaster recovery and the well-being of farmworker communities are discussed.

description: As human-caused climate change threatens North Carolina municipalities and counties, local governments can play a key role in reducing municipalities’ and counties’ contributions to climate change and increasing their resilience to climate threats. This research study aimed to understand how North Carolina local governments communicate with residents about their responses to climate change. The study involved conducting 12 qualitative interviews with sustainability employees in North Carolina local governments. Results were coded and analyzed to find several themes about the ways participants said local governments communicated about climate responses, received resident input, and implemented successful climate initiatives with public engagement. The majority of participants said they framed climate initiatives to connect with what matters to residents, which is a strategy that aligns with Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change communications recommendations. Misconceptions about climate change that participants heard residents express tended to be about climate responses rather than climate science, which is in contrast to literature about climate change as a polarizing topic. While participants commonly identified funding, metrics, and partnerships as factors for successful climate initiatives involving public engagement, COVID-19 emerged as a barrier for communicating and engaging with residents. The strategies and factors that led to successful initiatives and communication as well as barriers to responding to climate change can inform future local government responses to climate change as well as future research on this topic.

description: A new quantum correlation in terms of the average distance between the reduced state and the $i$-th output reduced states under local von Neumann measurements is proposed. It is shown that only the product states do not contain this quantum correlation and thus it is different from both the quantum discord (QD) [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{88}, 017901 (2001)] and the measurement-induced nonlocality (MIN) [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{106}, 120401(2011)]. For pure states, it is twice of the quantity MIN, and is smaller than QD and entanglement of formation (EOF). A general analytical formula is given and a lower bound for the two qubits case is obtained. Furthermore, we compare it with EOF and QD through the Werner state and the isotropic state respectively.

Facial Symmetry and Asymmetrical Criminal Sentencing: How Physical Attractiveness Affects Sentencing Outcomes
Creators: name: Swanner, Blake
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Research has found that physical appearance, specifically attractiveness, contributes to life outcomes, beginning weeks after birth (Fraga 2015). This is especially true for physically attractive women, in which gendered norms allow them to exploit what Sociologist Catherine Hakim (2010) calls erotic capital. Since physical attractiveness bias is seen throughout one’s entire life, then it leads to the question: are there disparities in criminal sentencing based on physical attractiveness bias? To answer this question, the study presents data on 50 males and 50 females that were convicted of and incarcerated for a violent or nonviolent crime in the state of North Carolina. In this study, I chose one aspect of physical attractiveness, facial symmetry, which has gained notoriety through what is known as the ‘golden ratio.’ For this reason, I examined the facial symmetry of each incarcerated persons and compared it to their length of criminal sentencing. The results showed that there was a stronger correlation for women than men in regards to their facial symmetry and sentencing, meaning that the closer their face was to the ‘golden ratio,’ the shorter sentencing they received. The results also revealed that physical attractiveness bias was more prevalent in those who were convicted of violent crimes instead of nonviolent crimes. Therefore, these results emphasize the conscious and unconscious bias in the United States judicial system that potentially prevent appropriate sentencing and justice.
