Homeownership and financial security of Chatham Habitat for Humanity partner families
Creators: name: Satinsky, Sara
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Homeownership has been described as "The American Dream" (Rohe, Van Zandt, & McCarthy, 2002a) and as "right up there with baseball and apple pie" (Cannato, 2010). Homeownership is a brass ring idealized in the American mind. Historically, homeownership has been promoted in the United States to express a variety of ideologies characteristic of their times: independence during the nation's first century, social status and health at the turn of the 20th century, sociopolitical sentiment during World War I, and societal improvement during the Hoover administration (Cannato, 2010). While ideologies promoting homeownership permeate American history, evidence of its benefits and costs has been reported only recently and much work remains in this area, particularly in relation to low-income populations. This paper describes the author's efforts to contribute empirical work to research on the connection between homeownership and financial security in a low-income population. It describes a project that used a qualitative approach to better explore and understand Habitat for Humanity (HFH) partner family perceptions of financial security. Financial security was chosen as the focus of the project for the following reasons: (1) a national economic crisis since previous research on perceptions of financial security at select HFH affiliates was conducted that may influence findings; (2) interest in the topic among staff at the Chatham County affiliate as possible data to report on grant applications to funders; (3) the author's interest in the topic's possible connections to recent foreclosure proceedings started at the affiliate; and (4) promotion by the head office of Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) of homeownership as a means of wealth accumulation and financial security for low-income partner families, based on research in the general population (Habitat for Humanity International, 2010a), when experts suggest in recent research that, in fact, there is a gradient such that higher-income families experience greater benefits from owning a home than their lower-income counterparts. This paper: (1) summarizes relevant literature about the financial benefits of homeownership to low-income populations generally and specific to Habitat for Humanity homeowners; (2) describes the methodology for a project with a local Habitat for Humanity affiliate to obtain partner family feedback about their perceptions of their own financial security and related behaviors over time, such as helping out a close relative in financial need, covering an unexpected bill, or using public assistance programs; (3) summarizes partner family responses; (4) describes common themes discussed by partner families; and (5) suggests implications for this affiliate in the future.

description: The ability to initialize quantum registers in pure states lies at the core of many applications of quantum technologies, from sensing to quantum information processing and computation. In this paper, we tackle the problem of increasing the polarization bias of an ensemble of two-level register spins by means of joint coherent manipulations, involving a second ensemble of ancillary spins and energy dissipation into an external heat bath. We formulate this spin refrigeration protocol, akin to algorithmic cooling, in the general language of quantum feedback control, and identify the relevant thermodynamic variables involved. Our analysis is two-fold: on the one hand, we assess the optimality of the protocol by means of suitable figures of merit, accounting for both its work cost and effectiveness; on the other hand, we characterise the nature of correlations built up between the register and the ancilla. In particular, we observe that neither the amount of classical correlations nor the quantum entanglement seem to be key ingredients fuelling our spin refrigeration protocol. We report instead that a more general indicator of quantumness beyond entanglement, the so-called quantum discord, is closely related to the cooling performance.

description: Topological phases of matter possess intricate correlation patterns typically probed by entanglement entropies or entanglement spectra. In this work, we propose an alternative approach to assessing topologically induced edge states in free and interacting fermionic systems. We do so by focussing on the fermionic covariance matrix. This matrix is often tractable either analytically or numerically and it precisely captures the relevant correlations of the system. By invoking the concept of monogamy of entanglement we show that highly entangled states supported across a system bi-partition are largely disentangled from the rest of the system, thus appearing usually as gapless edge states. We then define an entanglement qualifier that identifies the presence of topological edge states based purely on correlations present in the ground states. We demonstrate the versatility of this qualifier by applying it to various free and interacting fermionic topological systems.

description: There is a critical need for identifying time-sensitive and cost-effective markers of psychosis risk early in the illness course. One solution may lie in affect dynamics, or the fluctuations of affect across time, which have been demonstrated to predict transitions in psychopathology. Across three studies, the current research is the first to comprehensively investigate affect dynamics in relation to subthreshold positive symptoms (perceptual aberration and magical ideation) and negative symptoms (social anhedonia) of the psychosis spectrum. Across multiple timescales and contexts, affect dynamics were modeled from inexpensive laboratory paradigms and social media text. Findings provided strong evidence for positive symptoms linked to heightened magnitude and frequency of affective fluctuations in response to emotional materials. Alternatively, negative symptoms showed modest association with heightened persistence of baseline states. These affect dynamic signatures of psychosis risk provide insight on the distinct developmental pathways to psychosis and could facilitate current risk detection approaches.

Small city revitalization: a comparative analysis of cities in the North Carolina main street program
Creators: name: Francis, Elise
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: During the recent economic crisis, it became a trend to refer to the tensions between Main Street and Wall Street. This metaphor is meant to appeal to the average American citizen, and evokes memories, real or imagined, of simpler times. Politicians want us to know that they are looking out for those of us living in Everytown, USA. However, fewer Americans are actually living in places that have the historic central commercial core that we think of as a traditional Main Street. Towns that do are making efforts to preserve their Main Streets, not simply for the sake of nostalgia, but as a way to foster revitalization and ensure the economic survival of their cities. This is the idea behind the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Main Streets Program1. With a four-point approach of organization, promotion, design, and economic restructuring, the Main Streets Program assists cities in revitalizing their central core through the lens of historic preservation. My purpose in this study is to examine characteristics and practices of cities participating in the North Carolina Main Street Program, and to look at similarities and differences between programs that have experienced varying degrees of success. I want to know what characteristics and practices contribute to a city's overall success in the North Carolina Main Street program and, conversely, what characteristics and practices tend to discourage success. To answer these questions, I conducted case studies of four small cities participating in the North Carolina Main Street program: Burlington, Concord, Goldsboro, and Salisbury. The first section of this paper explores the state of small cities in the United States, looks at previous studies on small city revitalization programs, and describes my study methodology. The second portion of the paper presents my findings and provides interpretations and conclusions.

description: Advances in digitalization technologies lead to rapid and massive changes in infrastructure management. New collaborative processes and workflows require detailed, accurate and up-to-date 3D geodata. Image-based web services with 3D measurement functionality, for example, transfer dangerous and costly inspection and measurement tasks from the field to the office workplace. In this contribution, we introduced an image-based backpack mobile mapping system and new georeferencing methods for capture previously inaccessible outdoor locations. We carried out large-scale performance investigations at two different test sites located in a city centre and in a forest area. We compared the performance of direct, SLAM-based and image-based georeferencing under demanding real-world conditions. Both test sites include areas with restricted GNSS reception, poor illumination, and uniform or ambiguous geometry, which create major challenges for reliable and accurate georeferencing. In our comparison of georeferencing methods, image-based georeferencing improved the median precision of coordinate measurement over direct georeferencing by a factor of 10–15 to 3 mm. Image-based georeferencing also showed a superior performance in terms of absolute accuracies with results in the range from 4.3 cm to 13.2 cm. Our investigations showed a great potential for complementing 3D image-based geospatial web-services of cities as well as for creating such web services for forest applications. In addition, such accurately georeferenced 3D imagery has an enormous potential for future visual localization and augmented reality applications.

Spirituality as a Predictive Factor of Feeling Helplessness

Publisher: name: Εθνικό και Καποδιστριακό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών
Year: 2024

description: Through a rigorous analysis of the existing literature and conducting of empirical research, the relationship between spirituality and helplessness was explored. Specifically, this research explores spirituality as a predictive factor in this feeling of helplessness. The survey involved a total of 110 people from 18 to 75 years old. Of these, 78 (70.91%) were women and 32 (29.09 %) were men. The sample was reliable with a Cronbach’s a ≥0.7. Our variables also follow the normal distribution. In the Pearson’s control r (110)=-0.222, p=0.020 it appeared that there is a statistically significant and negative correlation between the level of spirituality and the feeling of helplessness. Also, the results of regression indicate that the predictive factor “feeling of helplessness” of the dependent variable “Level of Spirituality” explains the 22,2% of the variance (R =0,222, F(1,108)= 5,614, p=0,02). Finally, we can consider the following regression equation (straight exchange): y (Spirituality Level)=-0.234 (a feeling of helplessness)+ 3.431. Given the decreasing gradient of the regression equation, we found that for 22.2% of the sample, higher levels of spirituality predict lower rates of feeling (either innate or learned) helplessness, as well as vice versa; it was found that people who are at a high level of spirituality, especially women, can be relieved more from the very unpleasant feeling of helplessness.

description: We show clear evidence of a quadratic speedup of a quantum annealing (QA) Schroedinger dynamics over a Glauber master-equation simulated annealing (SA) for a random Ising model in one dimension, via an equal-footing exact deterministic dynamics of the Jordan-Wigner fermionized problems. This is remarkable, in view of the arguments of Katzgraber et al., PRX 4, 021008 (2014), since SA does not encounter any phase transition, while QA does. We also find a second remarkable result: that a "quantum-inspired" imaginary-time Schroedinger QA provides a further exponential speedup, i.e., an asymptotic residual error decreasing as a power-law $τ^{-μ}$ of the annealing time $τ$.

The North Street Community Development: A New and Replicable Model of Housing for Developmentally Disabled Individuals?
Creators: name: Poole, Bryan Wilson
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: In 2012, residents began moving into a community in Central Durham they
decided to call the North Street Community. Once complete, this community will consist
of 16 multi-family buildings originally constructed in the 1940’s as workforce housing
but that have suffered from years of neglect. The units, located a few blocks from
downtown, range from two to four dwelling units, in a variety of customized floor plans.
This allows those both with and without developmental disabilities to live in a supportive
community. The residents are diverse: families with developmentally disabled children,
disabled adults living alone, seminary students, young professionals, and families. Some
have bought the units, while others rent. Yet covenants in place require residents who do
not have a family-member with a disability to support the community in an active way.
Additionally, all residents must sign a deed tying the value of their homes to a market
formula for the larger Durham region and allow the neighborhood association to have
first refusal on all properties.
Developing such a community in an urban context is an unprecedented approach
to housing those with developmental disabilities. Yet early indications suggest it is
yielding astounding results for community residents as well as the surrounding
neighborhood. Those who have moved into the community feel it better facilitates social
and emotional growth, and have parents have seen much more independence and
confidence in their child with a disability. Such results solicit the question of whether
this situation is unique, or could other groups across the country also ask “What if?” and
expect to see comparable results? The following paper hopes to explore the reality of this
question, examining what made the North Street community feasible and what tools,
insights and lessons could be used by others hoping to develop a similar community.

description: SO(10) grand unified theories can ensure the stability of new particles in terms of the gauge group structure itself, and in this respect are well suited to accommodate dark matter (DM) candidates in the form of new stable massive particles. We introduce new fermions in two vector 10 representations. When SO(10) is broken to the standard model by a minimal 45 + 126 + 10 scalar sector with $SU(3)_C \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes SU(2)_R\otimes U(1)_{B-L}$ as intermediate symmetry group, the resulting lightest new states are two Dirac fermions corresponding to combinations of the neutral members of the $SU(2)_L$ doublets in the 10's, which get splitted in mass by loop corrections involving $W_R$. The resulting lighter mass eigenstate is stable, and has only non-diagonal $Z_{L,R}$ neutral current couplings to the heavier neutral state. Direct detection searches are evaded if the mass splitting is sufficiently large to suppress kinematically inelastic light-to-heavy scatterings. By requiring that this condition is satisfied, we obtain the upper limit $M_{W_R} \lesssim 25$ TeV.

Year: 2009

description: The purpose of my study is to answer the research question, "What is the role of a leadership council in community development and neighborhood revitalization?" by examining how the Northeast Central Durham Leadership Council corresponds with the relevant topics of existing research: assets, leadership, and organizations. The resulting analysis derived from observation, interviews, and literature review shall do the following three things: Affirm what the Council does well through corroborating and exemplifying the best theoretical practices. Recommend how it could improve by addressing the theoretically indicated shortcomings. Cull the unique contributions it can make back to the field for future study or implementation elsewhere. I have found that the Council is a group of committed leaders that comprise an incredible range of skills, knowledge, experience, passion, and social capital. They epitomize the critical traits of community leaders. They advocate strongly for Northeast Central Durham in numerous ways, they have grown through leadership and organizational development, and have formed a variety of beneficial partnerships. I recommend that the Council undertakes a concrete asset-mapping process, grows in flexibility and adaptability, balances the issues of self-interest, forms a more bilateral leadership structure within their organization, boosts the added-value of membership, strives for consensus, maintains the efficacy of its relationship with the City Council, engages more strongly in outreach and communication, makes sure to use time effectively at meetings, and continues to develop its mission, vision, goals, objectives, and action plans. I believe the Council offers rich insight into how to create a cadre of leaders broadly representative of individual, organizational, community, and leadership assets, and what roles and tasks are worthwhile for such an organization. It also provides an excellent model of how to develop both leadership and organizational capacity through the Leadership Institutes, which mixed training and engagement. The Council shows that special political access from the City Council Subcommittee is something that could benefit all community organizations. Finally, the Council demonstrates excellent organizational collaboration methods.

Demographic Change Near Rail Stations

description: Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is aimed at making neighborhoods within walking distance of transit
stations that are environmentally sustainable, support physical activity by promoting land use mix, and
provide affordable housing options for residents of all race and class backgrounds. Higher numbers of
employees and residents in close proximity to transit stations also increases the number of potential transit
riders, facilitating greater returns on transit investments. However, TOD in the United States is primarily
marketed towards empty nesters and childless Generation Xers and Millennials, who may be willing to give
up larger homes in the suburbs for proximity to cultural resources in the urban core. These marketing
strategies generally ignore low-income people, minorities, and families, all of whom are also included in the
stated values of TOD. With a rising population and a renewed interest in public transit systems, it is
becoming increasingly important for planners to understand the impacts of implementing TOD projects. In
most cases, neighborhoods already exist in the areas where TODs are proposed. If these current
communities are primarily minority, low income, or otherwise vulnerable, planners must consider and
mitigate gentrification concerns.
This study aims to add to existing literature on TOD by quantifying demographic changes near rail stations
in the United States between 2000 and 2010. Changes in station areas are considered in relation to changes
at the wider metropolitan level to understand how the presence of a rail station influences demographic
change. By investigating some of the characteristics of gentrification, this study provides insights for
planners, policy makers, and advocates considering how a rail or TOD project might impact their existing
neighborhoods.
This paper begins with a brief literature review detailing existing research on changes near rail stations.
Section Two describes the methodology used in this study to quantify changes near rail stations and develop
an index separating station area changes from background demographic changes. The following section
presents findings on total population and housing units, racial and ethnic changes, age shifts, household
structure, and housing tenure. Section Four presents case studies of the policies impacting changes in two
cities with similar transit systems: Sacramento and Minneapolis-St. Paul. The paper concludes with a
summary of findings and suggestions for future research.

The impact of personality on the occurrence and attribution of social exclusion events and their influence on well-being

description: Almost everyone experiences rejection or exclusion from time to time. These experiences are part of human coexistence, but people differ in how often they experience them and how they react to them. Recent studies have shown that these incidents may not happen at random, as personality may play an incremental role in explaining who gets targeted by social exclusion experiences (see e.g., Cawvey et al. 2018). Also, there are studies that show that causal attributions can have different consequences for individuals affected, such as attributing events to discrimination can also have positive effects for self-esteem (e.g. Thijs & Piscoi, 2016). However, to investigate whether causal attributions or occurrences of social exclusion events differ with certain personality trait, prior studies had shortcomings as they often intermingle both the occurrence of social exclusion and the causal attribution (“Have you been discriminated against?”) or nudge the causal attribution (“Were you excluded due to your origin?”). In this study, we try to distinguish strictly between the occurrence of social exclusion events and the related attribution, so that we can answer the following questions conclusively: Do some personality traits increase the probability to experience social exclusion events? Or do they change the person’s attributional style which ultimately leads to effects ascribed as discrimination although the event itself could also be interpreted differently? Also, in this project, it should be elaborated, how these processes affect indicators of subjective well-being. One model that may be useful in the explanation of variations in individual reactions to social exclusion in the short or long term is Richman and Leary’s multi-motive model (2009). When it comes to specific encounters of social rejection events, it also implies that these processes ultimately lead to stable and long-lasting outcomes, such as poorer health. So, another goal of this project is to assess, whether some proposed assumptions of the multi-motive model hold, when investigating these assumptions with survey based data.

Fluctuation and strain effects in a chiral $p$-wave superconductor

description: For a tetragonal material, order parameters of $p_x$ and $p_y$ symmetry are related by rotation and hence have the same $T_{\rm c}$ at a mean-field level. This degeneracy can be lifted by a symmetry-breaking field, like (uniaxial) in-plane strain, such that at $T_{\rm c}$, the order parameter is only of $p_x$ or $p_y$ symmetry. Only at a lower temperature also the respective other order parameter condenses to form a chiral $p$-wave state. At the mean-field level, the derivative of $T_{\rm c}$ with strain is discontinuous at zero strain. We analyze consequences of (thermal) fluctuations on the strain-temperature phase diagram within a Ginzburg-Landau approach. We find that the order-parameter fluctuations can drive the transition to be weakly first order, rounding off this discontinuity. We discuss the possibility of a second-order transition into a non-superconducting time-reversal-symmetry-breaking phase and consequences for the spin-triplet superconductor Sr$_2$RuO$_4$.
