description: Cancer misinformation is becoming an increasingly complex issue. When a person or a loved one receives a diagnosis of possible cancer, that person, family and friends will try to better inform themselves in this area of healthcare. Like most people, they will turn to their clinician for guidance and the internet to better verse themselves on the topic. But can they trust the information provided online? Are there ways to provide a quick evaluation of such information in order to prevent low-quality information and potentially dangerous consequences of trusting it? In the context of the UL Cancer Research Network (ULCan), this interdisciplinary project aims to develop the Health Information Portal for Patients and Public (HIPPP), a web-based application co-designed with healthcare domain experts that helps to improve people navigate the health information space online. HIPPP will be used by patients and the general public to evaluate user-provided web-based health information (WBHI) sources with respect to the QUEST framework and return a quality score for the information sources. As a web application, HIPPP is developed with modern extreme model-driven development (XMDD) technologies in order to make it easily adaptable and evolvable. To facilitate the automated evaluation of WBHI, HIPPP embeds an artificial intelligence (AI) pipeline developed following model-driven engineering principles. Through co-design with health domain experts and following model-driven engineering principles, we have extended the Domain Integrated Modelling Environment (DIME) to include a graphical domain-specific language (GDSL) for developing websites for evaluating WBHI. This GDSL allows for greater participation from stakeholders in the development process of both the user-facing website and the AI-driven evaluation pipeline through encoding concepts familiar to those stakeholders within the modelling language. The time efficiency study conducted as part of this research found that the HIPPP evaluation pipeline evaluates a sample of WBHI with respect to the QUEST framework up to 98.79% faster when compared to the time taken by a human expert evaluator.

description: We compared maternal and neonatal outcomes following repeat cesarean delivery (CD) of women with a prior classical CD with those with a prior low transverse CD. The Maternal Fetal Medicine Units (MFMU) Network Cesarean Delivery Registry was used to identify women with one previous CD who underwent an elective repeat CD prior to the onset of labor ≥36 weeks. Outcomes were compared between women with a previous classical CD to those with a prior low transverse CD. Of the 7,936 women who met study criteria, 122 had a prior classical CD. Women with a prior classical CD had a higher rate of classical uterine incision at repeat CD (12.73% versus 0.59%; p < 0.001), had longer total operative time and hospital stay, and had higher intensive care unit admission. Uterine dehiscence was more frequent in women with a prior classical CD (2.46% versus 0.27%, OR 9.35, 95% CI 1.76-31.93). After adjusting for confounding factors, there were no statistical differences in major maternal or neonatal morbidities between groups. Uterine dehiscence was present at repeat CD in 2.46% of women with a prior classical CD. However, major maternal morbidities were similar to those with a prior low transverse CD.

Publisher: name: Cooperative Research Centre for Developing Northern Australia
Year: 2022

description: The purpose of the situational analysis is to attain a better understanding of the relationship between First Nations primary production enterprises and the larger Australian primary industries, focusing primarily on agriculture. The study identifies that: - While a significant amount of primary production occurs on the First Nations Estate, a significant majority of this is not undertaken by First Nations primary production enterprises. - There is still a relatively small, but emerging and unique First Nations primary production industry that is diverse, increasingly financially sustainable, and delivering significant cultural, environmental and social benefits to local First Nations communities. - There is opportunity to grow the First Nations primary production industry so that it makes a significant and unique contribution to the growth targets of Australian primary industries – beyond what the agricultural industry or the Australian Government have contemplated. To achieve this mutually beneficial outcome for Australia’s First Nations people and their agricultural industry, a concerted effort needs to be made to better understand: - the nature and extent of agricultural production that takes place on the Indigenous Estate, - the nature and extent of the First Nations primary production industry; opportunities to accelerate First Nations agricultural capability development, - attraction of social impact and other Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) oriented investment to the emerging sector. This effort needs to be overseen and driven by a multi-stakeholder, mission-oriented industry development governance framework. Key recommendations include: 1. Establish adequately reliable agricultural, fisheries, aquaculture and forestry economic data pertaining to the Indigenous Estate and Indigenous primary production enterprises. 2. Develop a portfolio of positive First Nations primary industries case studies to generate stakeholder (including investor) confidence in the First Nations primary industry sectors. 3. Engage with the global social impact investment sector to develop a framework for identifying potential flow across First Nations primary production in Australia. 4. Establish a First Nations primary industries taskforce to develop strategies and initiatives to: a) identify opportunities, and activate primary production from underutilised areas of the Indigenous Estate. b) ​​​​​​identify and advocate for changes to legislation as necessary to optimally facilitate increased production from the Indigenous Estate and ESG collaborations. c) identify opportunities and develop strategies to optimise market access, enter new markets and develop new products

description: This paper examines the behaviour of closed `lattice universes' wherein masses are distributed in a regular lattice on the Cauchy surfaces of closed vacuum universes. Such universes are approximated using a form of Regge calculus originally developed by Collins and Williams to model closed FLRW universes. We consider two types of lattice universes, one where all masses are identical to each other and another where one mass gets perturbed in magnitude. In the unperturbed universe, we consider the possible arrangements of the masses in the Regge Cauchy surfaces and demonstrate that the model will only be stable if each mass lies within some spherical region of convergence. We also briefly discuss the existence of Regge models that are dual to the ones we have considered. We then model a perturbed lattice universe and demonstrate that the model's evolution is well-behaved, with the expansion increasing in magnitude as the perturbation is increased.

description: Purpose: Examine SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and the association of seropositivity with demographic, geographic, and behavioral variables among University of North Carolina Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) undergraduate students enrolled in the fall 2020 semester. Methods: All UNC-CH undergraduate students were invited to participate in the Heelcheck study; participants were weighted to the UNC-CH undergraduate population using raking methods. We estimate SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence at study entrance (11/12/2020–12/10/2020) and bivariable associations using log-binomial regression. Results: SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence was 7.3% (95% confidence interval (CI): 5.4%–9.2%) at baseline. Compared to students who were living off-campus in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area (CH) for the Fall 2020 semester (8.6% seroprevalence), students who never returned to CH had lower seroprevalence (1.9%, prevalence ratio (PR), 95% CI: 0.22, 0.06–0.81), whereas, students who started the semester on-campus and moved to off-campus CH housing had 18.9% seroprevalence (PR, 95% CI: 2.21, 1.04–4.72) and students who spent the semester living in a Sorority/Fraternity house had 46.8% seroprevalence (PR, 95% CI: 5.47, 2.62–11.46). Those who predicted they would join an indoor party unmasked had 3.8 times the seroprevalence of those who indicated they would not attend (PR, 95% CI: 3.80, 1.58–9.16). Compared to students who disagreed with the statement “…I am not going to let COVID-19 stop me from having fun…”, those who agreed had higher seroprevalence (14.0% vs. 5.7%; (PR, 95% CI: 2.45, 1.13–5.32)). Discussion: Increased seroprevalence was associated with congregate living and participation (actual or endorsed) in social activities. During pandemics, universities must create safe socializing opportunities while minimizing transmission.

description: We consider a one-dimensional, time-reversal-invariant system with attractive interactions and spin-orbit coupling. Such a system is gapless due to the strong quantum fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter. However, we show that a sharply defined topological phase with protected, exponentially localized edge states exists. If one of the spin components is conserved, the protection of the edge modes can be understood as a consequence of the presence of a spin gap. In the more general case, the localization of the edge states arises from a gap to single particle excitations in the bulk. We consider specific microscopic models and demonstrate both analytically and numerically (using density matrix renormalization group calculations) that they can support the topologically non-trivial phase.

Publisher: name: UNC
Year: 2023

description: Forced displacement is a major sociostructural driver of ill health; forcibly displaced migrants and refugees face a range of health conditions including infectious diseases, noncommunicable diseases, and mental health concerns. The immediate and long-term health needs of displaced people and communities vary across contexts; however, noncommunicable conditions – both physiological and psychosocial – pose specific challenges. Displacement can disrupt care and management of existing NCDs, and the stressors of displacement itself may become drivers of chronic ill health. Likewise, the experience of displacement and of various traumas before and after displacement may impact mental health and well-being. Further, in conflict and post-conflict settings NCDs and mental health concerns may be under-prioritized for reasons including limited healthcare resources to detect and manage chronic health issues, infrastructural barriers to continuity of care in mobile populations, and a focus on meeting basic needs (food, water, shelter, sanitation, etc.). This review considers NCDs and psychosocial well-being to illustrate the particular needs and vulnerabilities of displaced populations in this regard. The review focuses on displaced people from Burma who are either internally displaced within Burma or who are living in one of Burma’s neighboring countries. This geographic emphasis centers the ongoing crisis in Burma and considers the health of people experiencing displacement in the region.

description: We describe obstetric outcomes in a group of patients with prior cesarean delivery (CD) presenting with an intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD). A secondary analysis of an observational study of women with prior CD was performed. All antepartum singleton pregnancies with a prior CD and IUFD ≥ 20 weeks’ gestation or 500 grams were evaluated. Two hundred nine patients met inclusion criteria for analysis. The mean gestational age ± standard deviation at delivery was 31.3 ± 6.5 weeks. The trial of labor rate was 75.6% (158/209), and the vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) success rate was 86.7%. Labor induction or augmentation occurred in 83.3% of attempted VBAC. Uterine rupture occurred in five women (2.4%), and in 3.4% of those being induced but none of these required hysterectomy. Women with a history of previous CD and an IUFD often undergo trial of labor with a high VBAC success rate. Uterine rupture complicates 2.4% of such cases.

description: We compared neonatal outcomes in twin pregnancies following moderately preterm birth (MPTB), late preterm birth (LPTB) and term birth. A secondary analysis of a multi-center, randomized controlled trial of multiple gestations was conducted. MPTB was defined as delivery between 320/7 and 336/7 weeks and LPTB between 340/7 and 366/7 weeks. Primary outcome was a neonatal outcome composite consisting of one or more of the following: neonatal death, respiratory distress syndrome, early onset culture-proven sepsis, stage 2 or 3 necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonray dysplasia, grade 3 or 4 intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular leukomalacia, pneumonia, or severe retinopathy of prematurity. Among 552 twin pregnancies, the MPTB rate was 14.5%, LPTB 49.8% and term birth rate 35.7%. The rate of the primary outcome was different between groups: 30.0% for MPTB, 12.8% for LPTB, 0.5% for term (p< 0.001). Compared with term neonates, the primary neonatal outcome composite was increased following MPTB (relative risk [RR] 58.5; 95% confidence interval [CI] 11.3 to 1693.0) and LPTB (RR 24.9; 95% CI 4.8 to 732.2). Twin pregnancies born moderately and late preterm encounter higher rates of neonatal morbidities compared to twins born at term.
Postpartum Patient Perspectives on the U.S. Medicaid Sterilization Policy Waiting Period
Creators: name: Joline Hartheimer
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Background: The U.S. government aims to protect low-income, racial and ethnic minority, and disabled women from historical non-consensual sterilization via the Medicaid Consent to Sterilization form, which has an associated 30 day waiting period from time of patient signature to the sterilization procedure. While barriers to sterilization fulfillment and physician perspectives associated with this waiting period are well described, our understanding of how women with Medicaid seeking sterilization perceive this waiting period is limited.

Methods: We interviewed English-speaking adult postpartum patients at four U.S. institutions who desired sterilization during their delivery hospitalizations. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic content analysis.

Results:  Key themes included sterilization decision-making, timing concerns, misinformation, emotional responses, and beliefs about the waiting period policy. Some patients felt that the policy helps with sterilization decision-making and is a protection against coercion and regret, while others described how the waiting period reduces reproductive autonomy, decreases sterilization fulfillment, introduces unwanted doubt, and damages patient-clinician relationships. Patients with favorable opinions of the waiting period commonly changed their minds against sterilization, while women with negative opinions were steadfast in their desires for sterilization and experienced more non-fulfillment of desired sterilization.

Conclusions: Postpartum patients hold diverse views on the current Medicaid Consent to Sterilization waiting period policy. In future research, we must continue to engage patients in redesigning this policy to balance supporting autonomous decision-making with protecting against reproductive coercion.

description: Former prospective studies showed that the occurrence of relapse in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is associated with volume loss in the insula, hippocampus and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). However, these studies were confounded by the patient’s lifetime disease history, as the number of previous episodes predict future recurrence. In order to analyze neural correlates of recurrence irrespective of prior disease course, this study prospectively examined changes in brain structure in patients with first-episode depression (FED) over 2 years. N = 63 FED patients and n = 63 healthy controls (HC) underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging at baseline and after 2 years. According to their disease course during the follow-up interval, patients were grouped into n = 21 FED patients with recurrence (FEDrec) during follow-up and n = 42 FED patients with stable remission (FEDrem). Gray matter volume changes were analysed using group by time interaction analyses of covariance for the DLPFC, hippocampus and insula. Significant group by time interactions in the DLPFC and insula emerged. Pairwise comparisons showed that FEDrec had greater volume decline in the DLPFC and insula from baseline to follow-up compared with FEDrem and HC. No group by time interactions in the hippocampus were found. Cross-sectional analyses at baseline and follow-up revealed no differences between groups. This longitudinal study provides evidence for neural alterations in the DLPFC and insula related to a detrimental course in MDD. These effects of recurrence are already detectable at initial stages of MDD and seem to occur without any prior disease history, emphasizing the importance of early interventions preventing depressive recurrence.

description: We propose an environment recycling scheme to speed up a class of tensor network algorithms that produce an approximation to the ground state of a local Hamiltonian by simulating an evolution in imaginary time. Specifically, we consider the time-evolving block decimation (TEBD) algorithm applied to infinite systems in 1D and 2D, where the ground state is encoded, respectively, in a matrix product state (MPS) and in a projected entangled-pair state (PEPS). An important ingredient of the TEBD algorithm (and a main computational bottleneck, especially with PEPS in 2D) is the computation of the so-called environment, which is used to determine how to optimally truncate the bond indices of the tensor network so that their dimension is kept constant. In current algorithms, the environment is computed at each step of the imaginary time evolution, to account for the changes that the time evolution introduces in the many-body state represented by the tensor network. Our key insight is that close to convergence, most of the changes in the environment are due to a change in the choice of gauge in the bond indices of the tensor network, and not in the many-body state. Indeed, a consistent choice of gauge in the bond indices confirms that the environment is essentially the same over many time steps and can thus be re-used, leading to very substantial computational savings. We demonstrate the resulting approach in 1D and 2D by computing the ground state of the quantum Ising model in a transverse magnetic field.

description: We analyze the temperature relaxation phenomena of systems in contact with a thermal reservoir that undergo a non-Markovian diffusion process. From a generalized Langevin equation, we show that the temperature is governed by a law of cooling of the Newton's law type in which the relaxation time depends on the velocity autocorrelation and is then characterized by the memory function. The analysis of the temperature decay reveals the existence of an anomalous cooling in which the temperature may oscillate. Despite this anomalous behavior, we show that the variation of entropy remains always positive in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics.

Als Ausgangsmaterial für die Papierherstellung dienen Zellstoffe, vorrangig aus Eukalyptus und NBSK. Die Umwandlung von Papier zu ACC erfolgt unter Verwendung des Lösungsmittelsystems NaOH/Harnstoff durch partielles Anlösen der Zellstofffasern. Anhand etablierter Methoden für die Untersuchung von Papier werden mechanische Eigenschaften sowie die Barrierewirkung der hergestellten Papiere und ACC geprüft.

description: Discovering dark matter at high energy colliders continues to be a compelling and well-motivated possibility. Weakly interacting massive particles are a particularly interesting class in which the dark matter particles interact with the standard model weak gauge bosons. Neutralinos are a prototypical example that arise in supersymmetric models. In the limit where all other superpartners are decoupled, it is known that for relic density motivated masses, the rates for neutralinos are too small to be discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), but that they may be large enough for a 100 TeV collider to observe. In this work we perform a careful study in the vector boson fusion channel for pure winos and pure higgsinos. We find that given a systematic uncertainty of 1% (5%), with 3000 fb$^{-1}$, the LHC is sensitive to winos of 240 GeV (125 GeV) and higgsinos of 125 GeV (55 GeV). A future 100 TeV collider would be sensitive to winos of 1.1 TeV (750 GeV) and higgsinos of 530 GeV (180 GeV) with a 1% (5%) uncertainty, also with 3000 fb$^{-1}$.

description: This project aims to develop and explore a robust framework for assessing biometric systems on mobile platforms, where data is often collected in non-constrained, potentially challenging environments. The framework enables the performance assessment given a particular platform, biometric modality, usage environment, user base and required security level. The ubiquity of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has increased access to Internet-based services across various scenarios and environments. Citizens use mobile platforms for an ever-expanding set of services and interactions, often transferring personal information, and conducting financial transactions. Accurate identity authentication for physical access to the device and service is, therefore, critical to ensure the security of the individual, information, and transaction. Biometrics provides an established alternative to conventional authentication methods. Mobile devices offer considerable opportunities to utilise biometric data from an enhanced range of sensors alongside temporal information on the use of the device itself. For example, cameras and dedicated fingerprint devices can capture front-line physiological biometric samples (already used for device log-on applications and payment authorisation schemes such as Apple Pay) alongside voice capture using conventional microphones. Understanding the performance of these biometric modalities is critical to assessing suitability for deployment. Providing a robust performance and security assessment given a set of deployment variables is critical to ensure appropriate security and accuracy. Conventional biometrics testing is typically performed in controlled, constrained environments that fail to encapsulate mobile systems' daily (and developing) use. This thesis aims to develop an understanding of biometric performance on mobile devices. The impact of different mobile platforms, and the range of environmental conditions in use, on biometrics' accuracy, usability, security, and utility is poorly understood. This project will also examine the application and performance of mobile biometrics when in motion.

description: Despite children living in rural US areas having 26% greater odds of being affected by obesity compared to those living in urban areas, the implementation of evidence-based programs in rural schools is rare. We collected quantitative data (weight and height) from 272 racially and ethnically diverse students at baseline, and qualitative data from students (4 focus groups), parents, and school staff (16 semi-structured interviews and 29 surveys) to evaluate program outcomes and perceptions. At the 2-year follow-up, paired data from 157 students, represented by racial/ethnic groups of 59% non-Hispanic White, 31% non-Hispanic Black, and 10% Hispanic, showed an overall mean change (SD) in BMI z-score of −0.04 (0.59), a decrease of −0.08 (0.69) in boys, and a significant −0.18 (0.33) decrease among Hispanic students. Boys had a mean decrease in obesity prevalence of 3 percentage points (from 17% to 14%), and Hispanic students had the largest mean decrease in BMI percentile. Qualitative data showed positive perceptions of the CATCH program and its implementation. This community-engaged research, with collaboration from an academic institution, a health department, a local wellness coalition, and a rural elementary school, demonstrated successful CATCH program implementation and showed promising outcomes in mean BMI changes.

description: We assessed if first-trimester vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent in women who experienced a spontaneous preterm birth compared with women who delivered at term. We conducted a nested case-control study of pregnant women who had previously given blood for first-trimester combined screening for trisomy 21 and subsequently delivered at a tertiary hospital between November 2004 and July 2009. From an overall cohort of 4225 women, 40 cases of spontaneous preterm birth (≥23 0/7 and ≤34 6/7 weeks) were matched by race/ethnicity with 120 women delivering at term (≥37 0/7 weeks) with uncomplicated pregnancies. Banked maternal serum was used to measure maternal 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]. The prevalence of first-trimester maternal vitamin D deficiency [25(OH)D <50 nmol/L] was comparable among women who subsequently delivered preterm compared with controls (7.5% versus 6.7%, p=0.90). The median 25(OH)D level for all subjects was 89 nmol/L (interquartile range, 73 to 106 nmol/L). Seventy-three percent (117/160) of the cohort had sufficient vitamin D levels [25(OH)D ≥75 nmol/L]. In a cohort of pregnant women with mostly sufficient levels of first-trimester serum 25(OH)D, vitamin D deficiency was not associated with spontaneous preterm birth.

description: All reference files that has been uploaded are being used in the qualitative lliterature review to understand more about the significance of tiny housing nowadays as well as examining various thermal insulation materials from RIBA international awards website and case studies.
 According to “Data Bridge Market Research”, rising expenses of living, particularly in Egypt, has led to an increase in the occupancy of tiny homes, demonstrating a significant rise from present to 2029. To downsize and live simple with only the essentials economically, the aim of this paper is to outline the changeover from an unsustainable environment to one that is highly sustainable, efficient, and economical through examining various thermal insulation materials to achieve thermal comfort, offering it to be a cost-effective solution enhancing the beneficial impact on the environment. A qualitative literature review will be presented concluding design principles and guidelines to be applied initially into the design stage. Ten thermal insulation materials will be tested on a 40 square metre tiny house using the Autodesk Ecotect® simulation tool, applied simply to the walls. The results will indicate that cellulose insulation offers the maximum thermal comfort while lowering energy consumptions.

description: We introduce a new family of special functions, namely $q$-Charlier multiple orthogonal polynomials. These polynomials are orthogonal with respect to $q$-analogues of Poisson distributions. We focus our attention on their structural properties. Raising and lowering operators as well as Rodrigues-type formulas are obtained. An explicit representation in terms of a $q$-analogue of the second of Appell's hypergeometric functions is given. A high-order linear $q$-difference equation with polynomial coefficients is deduced. Moreover, we show how to obtain the nearest neighbor recurrence relation from some difference operators involved in the Rodrigues-type formula.

description: Exposure to traffic-related air pollutants (TRAPs) has been associated with numerous adverse health effects. TRAP concentrations are highest meters away from major roads, and disproportionately affect minority (i.e., non-white) populations often considered the most vulnerable to TRAP exposure. To demonstrate an improved assessment of on-road emissions and to quantify exposure inequity in this population, we develop and apply a hybrid data fusion approach that utilizes the combined strength of air quality observations and regional/ local scale models to estimate air pollution exposures at census block resolution for the entire U.S. We use the regional photochemical grid model CMAQ (Community Multiscale Air Quality) to predict the spatiotemporal impacts at local/regional scales, and the local scale dispersion model, R-LINE (Research LINE source) to estimate concentrations that capture the sharp TRAP gradients from roads. We further apply the Regionalized Air quality Model Performance (RAMP) Hybrid data fusion technique to consider the model’s nonhomogeneous, nonlinear performance to not only improve exposure estimates, but also achieve significant model performance improvement. With a R2 of 0.51 for PM2.5 and 0.81 for NO2, the RAMP hybrid method improved R2 by ~0.2 for both pollutants (an increase of up to ~70% for PM2.5 and ~31% NO2). Using the RAMP Hybrid method, we estimate 264,516 [95% confidence interval [CI], 223,506–307,577] premature deaths attributable to PM2.5 from all sources, a ~1% overall decrease in CMAQ-estimated premature mortality compared to RAMP Hybrid, despite increases and decreases in some locations. For NO2, RAMP Hybrid estimates 138,550 [69,275–207,826] premature deaths, a ~19% increase (22,576 [11,288 – 33,864]) compared to CMAQ. Finally, using our RAMP hybrid method to estimate exposure inequity across the U.S., we estimate that Minorities within 100 m from major roads are exposed to up to 15% more PM2.5 and up to 35% more NO2 than their White counterparts.
