title: Evaluation of a Suicide Prevention Program Encompassing Both Student and Teacher Training Components

description: Background: Although suicide prevention programs have been shown to change suicide-related knowledge and attitudes, relatively little is known about their effects on actual behavior. Aims: Therefore, the focus of the present study was on improving participating school staff’s practical and communication skills. Method: Suicide prevention workshops for students in grades 8–10 (N = 200) and a gatekeeper training program for school staff (N = 150) were conducted in 12 secondary schools in Germany. Schools were alternately assigned to one of three interventions (staff, students, or both trained) or to a waitlist control group. Results: School staff undergoing the training showed increased action-related knowledge, greater self-efficacy when counseling students in need and augmented counseling skills, and also had more conversations with students in need. Although students participating in the workshops did not seek help more frequently, they provided help to their peers more often in the conditions in which both students and school staff or only the latter had been trained. Limitations: The generalizability of the results is constrained by high dropout rates due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the relatively small sample size. Conclusion: A combination of suicide prevention programs for school staff and students appears to be most effective.

description: Black hole demographics in different environments is critical in view of recent results on massive-stars binarity, and of the multi-messenger detectability of compact objects mergers. But the identification and characterization of non-interacting black holes is elusive, especially in the sparse field stellar population. A candidate non-interactive black hole (BH)+red giant (RG) binary system, 2MASSJ05215658+4359220, was identified by Thompson et al.(2019). We obtained Astrosat/UVIT Far-Ultraviolet (FUV) imaging and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) UV-optical imaging and spectroscopy of the source, to test possible scenarios for the optically-elusive companion. HST/STIS spectra from about 1,600 to 10,230Ang are best fit by the combination of two stellar sources, a red giant with Teff=4250 (uncertainty 150K), logg=2.0, Radius_RG=27.8Rsun (assuming a single-temperature atmosphere), and a subgiant companion with Teff=6,000K, Radius_comp=2.7Rsun, or Teff=5,270K, Radius_comp=4.2Rsun using models with one-tenth or one-third solar metallicity respectively, logg=3.0, extinction E(B-V)=0.50(uncertainty 0.2), adopting the DR3 Gaia distance D=2,463pc (uncertainty 120pc). No FUV data existed prior to our programs. STIS spectra give an upper limit of 10e-17ergs cm-2 s-1 Ang-1 shortward of 2300Ang; an upper limit of >25.7ABmag was obtained in two UVIT FUV broad-bands. The non-detection of FUV flux rules out a compact companion such as a hot WD. The STIS spectrum shows strong MgII lambda2800Ang emission, typical of chromospherically active red giants. The masses inferred by comparison with evolutionary tracks, about 1 Msun for the red giant and between 1.1 and 1.6Msun for the subgiant companion, suggest past mass transfer, although the red giant currently does not fill its Roche lobe. WFC3 imaging in F218W, F275W, F336W, F475W, and F606W shows an unresolved source in all filters.

description: Antiprotons are regarded as a powerful probe for Dark Matter (DM) indirect detection and indeed current data from PAMELA have been shown to lead to stringent constraints. However, in order to exploit their constraining/discovery power properly and especially in anticipation of the exquisite accuracy of upcoming data from AMS, great attention must be put into effects (linked to their propagation in the Galaxy) which may be perceived as subleasing but actually prove to be quite relevant. We revisit the computation of the astrophysical background and of the DM antiproton fluxes fully including the effects of: diffusive reacceleration, energy losses including tertiary component and solar modulation (in a force field approximation). We show that their inclusion can somewhat modify the current bounds, even at large DM masses, and that a wrong interpretation of the data may arise if they are not taken into account. The numerical results for the astrophysical background are provided in terms of fit functions; the results for Dark Matter are incorporated in the new release of the PPPC4DMID.

description: This population-based case–control study of North Carolina workplaces evaluated the hypothesis that employers’ policies allowing firearms in the workplace may increase workers’ risk of homicide. Workplaces where guns were permitted were about 5 times as likely to experience a homicide as those where all weapons were prohibited (adjusted odds ratio=4.81; 95% confidence interval=1.70, 13.65). The association remained after adjustment for other risk factors. The findings suggest that policies allowing guns in the workplace might increase workers’ risk of homicide.

description: The linear perturbation theory of inhomogeneous reionization (LPTR) has been developed as an analytical tool for predicting the global ionized fraction and large-scale power spectrum of ionized density fluctuations during reionization. In the original formulation of the LPTR, the ionization balance and radiative transfer equations are linearized and solved in Fourier space. However, the LPTR's approximation to the full solution of the radiative transfer equation is not straightforward to interpret, since the latter is most intuitively conceptualized in position space. To bridge the gap between the LPTR and the language of numerical radiative transfer, we present a new, equivalent, position-space formulation of the LPTR that clarifies the approximations it makes and facilitates its interpretation. We offer a comparison between the LPTR and the excursion-set model of reionization (ESMR), and demonstrate the built-in capability of the LPTR to explore a wide range of reionization scenarios, and to go beyond the ESMR in exploring scenarios involving X-rays.

description: We used medical examiner’s records to identify heat-related fatalities (N=161) that occurred during the period January 1, 1977, to December 31, 2001, in North Carolina. Estimates of the population at risk were derived from US census data. Annual fatality rates increased with increases in average summer temperature and with the number of days per year at 90°F or higher. Of the occupational heat-related fatalities (n=40), 45% occurred among farm laborers, many of whom died unnoticed and without medical attention.

description: We review recent work on the compactification of the moduli space of Hitchin's self-duality equation. We study the degeneration behavior near the ends of this moduli space in a set of generic directions by showing how limiting configurations can be desingularized. Following ideas of Hitchin, we can relate the top boundary stratum of this space of limiting configurations to a Prym variety. A key rôle is played by the family of rotationally symmetric solutions to the self-duality equation on $\mathbb C$, which we discuss in detail here.

The Real Costs of Impoverishment: An Empirical Analysis of Women’s Incarceration in the United States
Creators: name: Ferrer, Sofia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: From 1972 to 2002, women in the United States were incarcerated at higher rates than any other period throughout history. Although there were larger numbers of incarcerated men during this time, women were being incarcerated at growth rates higher than any other group, including men. There is also evidence of racial and income disparities among incarcerated women. For these reasons, my thesis seeks to examine the reasons why women’s incarceration increased so drastically and identify which racial or ethnic groups of women were most likely to be affected by this phenomenon. I argue women’s incarceration was dramatically affected by the implementation of neoliberal policies, increased punitiveness, and shifting perceptions of impoverishment. Through various regressions and crosstabulations, I find that variables for welfare, police presence per capita, presence of three-strikes laws, and region have a positive and significant effect on women’s incarceration. I also find that Black women are more likely than White women to be incarcerated for drug crimes, property crimes, public order crimes, and violent crimes. Hispanic women are more likely to be incarcerated for “other” types of crimes, which include crimes related to immigration. These findings reveal the major issues of incarceration.

description: We study the three dimensional active scalar equation called the magneto-geostropic equation which was proposed by Moffatt and Loper as a model for the geodynamo processes in the Earth's fluid core. When the viscosity of the fluid is positive, the constitutive law that relates the drift velocity $u(x,t)$ and the scalar temperature $θ(x,t)$ produces two orders of smoothing. We study the implications of this property. For example, we prove that in the case of the non-diffusive ($\varepsilon_κ=0$) active scalar equation, initial data $θ_0\in L^3$ implies the existence of unique, global weak solutions. If $θ_0\in W^{s,3}$ with $s>0$, then the solution $θ(x,t)\in W^{s,3}$ for all time. In the case of positive diffusivity ($\varepsilon_κ>0$), even for singular initial data $θ_0\in L^3$, the global solution is instantaneously $C^\infty$-smoothed and satisfies the drift-diffusion equation classically for all $t>0$. We demonstrate, via a particular example, that the viscous magneto-geostrophic equation permits exponentially growing "dynamo type" instabilities.

description: To assess the effects of physician–patient racial concordance and continuity of care on hypertension outcomes, we described patterns of care for hypertension; we used cross-tabulations and repeated measures (generalized estimating equations) analyses with panel survey data from elderly persons interviewed and examined in 1987 and 1990. Continuity of care was associated with recognition of hypertension, receipt of medication, and lower incidence of undetected hypertension. Physician race had little effect, but continuity is important for successful management of hypertension in older persons.

description: In order to cope with global climate change, an electric vehicle (EV) and new energy building are constantly being innovated and improved. With the popularity and application of big data and Internet of Things, the new energy building with available charging piles may also become a charging station, which can solve the problem of difficult charging of EVs and promote the local energy consumption of the building. Therefore, this study proposes a shared charging concept for buildings, that is, shared photovoltaic, charging, and energy storage building (sPCEB). First, based on the analysis results of big data in cities or settlements of people, a locating method of the sPCEB system is introduced, and further proposes an optimal operating strategy that maximizes the combined benefit of the building. The efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed methods are verified by simulation.

description: In this paper we study gravitational wave perturbations in a cosmological setting of bigravity which can reproduce the ΛCDM background and large scale structure. We show that in general gravitational wave perturbations are unstable and only for very fine tuned initial conditions such a cosmology is viable. We quantify this fine tuning. We argue that similar fine tuning is also required in the scalar sector in order to prevent the tensor instability to be induced by second order scalar perturbations. Finally, we show that due to this power law instability, models of bigravity can lead to a large tensor to scalar ratio even for low scale inflation.

A GLR-like Parsing Algorithm for Three-Valued Interpretations of Boolean Grammars with Strong Negation

description: Boolean grammars generalize context-free rewriting by extending the possibilities when dealing with different rules for the same nonterminal symbol. By allowing not only disjunction (as in the case of usual context-free grammars), but also conjunction and negation as possible connections between different rules with the same left-hand side, they are able to simplify the description of context-free languages and characterize languages that are not context-free. The use of negation, however, leads to the possibility of introducing rules that interplay in such a way which is problematic to handle in the classical, two-valued logical setting. Here we define a three valued interpretation to deal with such contradictory grammars using a method introduced originally in the context of logic programming, and present an algorithm to determine the membership status of strings with respect to the resulting three valued languages.

description: We study the driven-dissipative dynamics of a network of spin-1/2 systems coupled to one or more chiral 1D bosonic waveguides within the framework of a Markovian master equation. We determine how the interplay between a coherent drive and collective decay processes can lead to the formation of pure multipartite entangled steady states. The key ingredient for the emergence of these many-body dark states is an asymmetric coupling of the spins to left and right propagating guided modes. Such systems are motived by experimental possibilities with internal states of atoms coupled to optical fibers, or motional states of trapped atoms coupled to a spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate. We discuss the characterization of the emerging multipartite entanglement in this system in terms of the Fisher information.

We emphasize the fundamental role of the neutrino Majorana mass term for the structure of the bosonic action.

description: Five myrmecophagous mammal species occur sympatrically over large parts of southern Africa. Of these, the diets of four species have been studied in sufficient detail to facilitate interspecific comparisons. The diets of the aardvark Orycteropus afer, aardwolf Proteles cristatus, bat-eared fox Otocyon megalotis and Temminck’s pangolin Smutsia temminckii were compared based on the overall prey categories utilised and the proportion of each prey category in their diets, while Meller’s mongoose Rhynchogale melleri had too few data to be assessed. Bat-eared fox fed on the greatest number of prey categories (n = 116) and had the greatest dietary niche breadth (4.71), while aardwolf utilised the fewest prey categories (n = 28) and had the lowest dietary niche breadth (1.19) when analysing the proportion of each prey category in the diet at the genus level. Temminck’s pangolin was the only species that was observed to feed exclusively on ants and termites. The diets of Temminck’s pangolin and aardvark showed a moderate degree of overlap (dietary niche breadth 0.49–0.57), but overlap was low between all other species pairs (0.01–0.26) when analysing the proportion of each prey item in the diet at the genus level. The results suggest that these myrmecophages have low to moderate dietary overlap, which combined with the high abundance of ants and termites and differences in their feeding ecologies, likely reduces interspecific competition.

description: Exclusive nondeterministic finite automata (XNFA) are nondeterministic finite automata with a special acceptance condition. An input is accepted if there is exactly one accepting path in its computation tree. If there are none or more than one accepting paths, the input is rejected. We study the descriptional complexity of XNFA accepting unary languages. While the state costs for mutual simulations with DFA and NFA over general alphabets differ significantly from the known types of finite automata, it turns out that the state costs for the simulations in the unary case are in the order of magnitude of the general case. In particular, the state costs for the simulation of an XNFA by a DFA or an NFA are $e^{θ(\sqrt{n \cdot ln{n}})}$. Conversely, converting an NFA to an equivalent XNFA may cost $e^{θ(\sqrt{n \cdot ln{n}})}$ states as well. All bounds obtained are also tight in the order of magnitude. Finally, we investigate the computational complexity of different decision problems for unary XNFA and it is shown that the problems of emptiness, universality, inclusion, and equivalence are coNP-complete, whereas the general membership problem is NL-complete.

description: We investigate properties of Galactic microlensing events in which a stellar object is lensed by a neutron star. For an all-sky photometric microlensing survey, we determine the number of lensing events caused by $\sim10^{5}$ potentially-observable radio pulsars to be $\sim0.2\ \rm{yr^{-1}}$ for $10^{10}$ background stellar sources. We expect a few detectable events per year for the same number of background sources from an astrometric microlensing survey. We show that such a study could lead to precise measurements of radio pulsar masses. For instance, if a pulsar distance could be constrained through radio observations, then its mass would be determined with a precision of $\sim10\%$. We also investigate the time-scale distributions for neutron star events, finding that they are much shorter than had been previously thought. For photometric events towards the Galactic centre that last $\sim15$ days, around $7\%$ will have a neutron star lens. This fraction drops rapidly for longer time-scales. Away from the bulge region we find that neutron stars will contribute $\sim40\%$ of the events that last less than $\sim10$ days. These results are in contrast to earlier work which found that the maximum fraction of neutron star events would occur on time-scales of hundreds of days.

description: Recent public health literature contains calls for collaborative public health interventions and for leaders capable of guiding them. The National Public Health Leadership Institute aims to develop collaborative leaders and to strengthen networks of leaders who share knowledge and jointly address public health problems. Evaluation results show that completing the institute training increases collaborative leadership and builds knowledge-sharing and problem-solving networks. These practices and networks strengthen interorganizational relationships, coalitions, services, programs, and policies. Intensive team-and project-based learning are key to the program’s impact.
A New Notion of Regularity: Finite State Automata Accepting Graphs

description: Analogous to regular string and tree languages, regular languages of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are defined in the literature. Although called regular, those DAG-languages are more powerful and, consequently, standard problems have a higher complexity than in the string case. Top-down as well as bottom-up deterministic DAG languages are subclasses of the regular DAG languages. We refine this hierarchy by providing a weaker subclass of the deterministic DAG languages. For a DAG grammar generating a language in this new DAG language class, or, equivalently, a DAG-automaton recognizing it, a classical deterministic finite state automaton (DFA) can be constructed. As the main result, we provide a characterization of this class.
 The motivation behind this is the transfer of techniques for regular string languages to graphs. Trivially, our restricted DAG language class is closed under union and intersection. This permits the application of minimization and hyper-minimization algorithms known for DFAs. This alternative notion of regularity coins at the existence of a DFA for recognizing a DAG language.

Disclosing Neurodivergence: The Effects of Gender and Self-Disclosure on Perceptions of Employees with ADHD
Creators: name: Asianah, Awele
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: The rise of the neurodiversity movement in workplaces has emphasized the need for both employees and organizational leaders to have an increased awareness of neurodiversity. However, studies around the experiences of neurodivergent individuals are rarely examined from an organizational perspective. This study aims to understand how gender differences among those with ADHD impact coworker perceptions of their ability and effort, resulting in downstream effects at work. Using an experimental vignette, this study finds that men who show ADHD symptoms are perceived to be less effortful and less competent than women with ADHD. Upon disclosure, however, men are viewed in a more positive light. My findings also suggest that effort perceptions predict intentions to reward those with ADHD, and assessments of ability predict a desire to work with them again. I highlight the importance of understanding neurodiversity, not only for neurodivergent individuals but also in terms of others’ perceptions of them.

All the World's A Stage: The Earl of Essex and Performative Masculinity
Creators: name: Kendrick, Alex
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: This thesis follows Robert Devereux, the second Devereux Earl of Essex, throughout his career in the public view of late Elizabethan England. It argues that Essex presents a key opportunity to understand gender and performativity in the period through the eyes of a contemporary figure in the system. It does so by analyzing Essex's life across three periods, where he exemplifies various changing displays of aristocratic masculinity. By following these different types of manhood and observing the ways in which Essex adjusted his gender performance to meet the challenges he faced in various moments, the thesis asserts that his understanding and conceptualization of Elizabethan masculinity provide modern observers with an honest, lived experience of various masculinities that offer advantages over other, more prescriptive sources of the period. Ultimately, the thesis concludes that despite the treatment Essex has been given by historical narratives, he presents a key window into many facets of Elizabethan society that are often difficult to approach from a modern understanding.

description: Soliton automata are mathematical models of soliton switching in chemical molecules. Several concepts of determinism for soliton automata have been defined. The concept of strong determinism has been investigated for the case in which only a single soliton can be present in a molecule. In the present paper, several different concepts of determinism are explored for the multi-soliton case. It is shown that the degree of non-determinism is a connected measure of descriptional complexity for multi-soliton automata. A characterization of the class of strongly deterministic multi-soliton automata is presented. Finally, the concept of perfect determinism, forming a natural extension of strong determinism, is introduced and considered for multi-soliton automata.

description: In this paper we consider block languages, namely sets of words having the same length, and study the deterministic and nondeterministic state complexity of several operations on these languages. Being a subclass of finite languages, the upper bounds of operational state complexity known for finite languages apply for block languages as well. However, in several cases, smaller values were found. Block languages can be represented as bitmaps, which are a good tool to study their minimal finite automata and their operations, as we illustrate here.

description: The standard approach to non-equilibrium thermodynamics describes transport in terms of generalised forces and coupled currents, a typical example being the Fourier law that relates temperature gradient to the heat flux. Here we demonstrate the presence of persistent energy currents in a lattice of classical nonlinear oscillators with uniform temperature and chemical potential. In strong analogy with the well known Josephson effect, the currents are generated only by the phase differences between the oscillators. The phases play the role of additional thermodynamical forces, that drive the system out of equilibrium. Our results apply to a large class of oscillators and indicate novel ways to practically control the propagation of coupled currents and rectification effects in many different devices. They also suggest a simple, macroscopic setup for studying a phenomenon which hitherto have only been observed in microscopic, quantum-mechanical systems.

Drastic disorded-induced reduction of signal amplification in scale-free networks

description: Understanding information transmission across a network is a fundamental task for controlling and manipulating both biological and man-made information processing systems. Here, we show how topological resonant-like amplification effects in scale-free networks of signaling devices are drastically reduced when phase disorder in the external signals is considered. This is demonstrated theoretically by means of a star-like network of overdamped bistable systems, and confirmed numerically by simulations of scale-free networks of such systems. The taming effect of the phase disorder is found to be sensitive to the amplification's strength, while the topology-induced amplification mechanism is robust against this kind of quenched disorder in the sense that it does not significantly change the values of the coupling strength where amplification is maximum in its absence.

description: This paper introduces derivation trees for general grammars. Within these trees, it defines context-dependent pairs of nodes, corresponding to rewriting two neighboring symbols using a non context-free rule. It proves that the language generated by a linear core general grammar with a slow-branching derivation tree is k-linear if there is a constant u such that every sentence w in the generated language is the frontier of a derivation tree in which any pair of neighboring paths contains u or fewer context-dependent pairs of nodes. Next, it proves that the language generated by a general grammar with a regular core is regular if there is a constant u such that every sentence w in the generated language is the frontier of a derivation tree in which any pair of neighboring paths contains u or fewer context-dependent pairs of nodes. The paper explains that this result is a powerful tool for showing that certain languages are k-linear or regular.
