Matilda: a bibliographic/metric tool for open science
Creators: name: Torny, Didier
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Open Access, Metadata, Open source, Open Data

description: The Open Access movement has long insisted on the availability and reusability of academic texts as a goal to achieve knowledge dissemination, without putting specific attention to the question of metadata. The fact that no reference was made to metadata in the main OA declarations (Budapest, Berlin, Bethesda) has led to a paradoxical situation. The more publication as a process became accessible and reusable, the more its content was searched and found through privately-owned and often costly bibliographic/metric tools by research communities. In recent years, the I40C coalition and the I4OA coalition have advocated for the opening of metadata and databases such as OpenAlex and OpenCitations have enabled the sharing of metadata. However, these achievements do not currently meet the needs of researchers for two reasons. On the one hand, they are databases to be used via APIs or dumps and not tools that can be easily appropriated by untrained users. On the other hand, their temporality does not enable services that can be used by those who wish to follow the evolution of the literature on a day-to-day basis. Faced with this lack, Matilda is based on open source software and multiple open data sources, Matilda aims at constituting an open science infrastructure for all research domains which don’t currently have well-designed community-based search & alert services. It currently provides at least four services: an easy-to-use multi-criteria search, citation tracking on texts, authors, multi-criteria, the creation of associated alerts via RSS feeds and of course DOI, HTML and PDF links to enable the reading of texts of interest to researchers, outside the platform. Matilda is currently based on four documentary sources (ArXiv, Crossref, PubMedCenral, RePEc) which continuously feed deduplication/aggregation operations, then metadata enrichment through ORCID and the production of reference links, notably through GROBID. As of September 1st, 2023, it displays 112 million “works” (the aggregation of "identical" documents), 200 million documents and more than 9.2 million authors, with a mean daily update of around 200,000 documents. The current version only relies on metadata, including abstract, reconstructed references and authors identification. The ongoing development will enable full-text search by the end of 2023, making Matilda a real alternative to Google Scholar and commercial databases, especially for citation-tracking services. It will be fully available to researchers from autumn on, for feedback and to better understand how researchers use these search tools, as there is almost no literature on these uses.

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Theophylline for Acute Kidney Injury in Asphyxiated Neonates
Creators: name: Rummings, Kelli
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Background: Perinatal asphyxia is caused by decreased oxygen delivery to neonates during the birthing process, and leads to significant neonatal morbidity and mortality. Acute kidney injury due to decreased oxygen delivery is a major adverse neonatal health outcome associated with perinatal asphyxia, and can lead to renal failure. Previous studies in low resource settings lacking induced hypothermia (the current standard of care in well-resourced countries) have used theophylline administered immediately following asphyxiation to prevent (or reduce) kidney injury. Purpose: To synthesize the current evidence on prophylactic theophylline in term infants with perinatal asphyxia for the prevention or treatment of acute kidney injury. Methods: PubMed and EMBASE were searched from database inception through April 2016 using predefined criteria to identify RCTs comparing prophylactic theophylline to placebo in term infants following perinatal asphyxia examining incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI), serum creatinine levels (SCr), or glomerular filtration rates (GFR). Results: Five RCTs met full inclusion criteria (N=356 infants) and were included in meta-analysis. The use of prophylactic theophylline was associated with a significant reduction in acute kidney injury compared with placebo (RR 0.36, 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.5; p <0.00001). SCr levels were significantly lower in the theophylline group on days 3 and 5. Similarly, GFR levels were significantly increased on days 3 and 5 in the theophylline group compared to the control group. Conclusions: Prophylactic theophylline administration significantly reduces the incidence of acute kidney injury in asphyxiated term neonates and should be considered for routine use in low-resource settings lacking access to therapeutic hypothermia. Future research should examine theophylline in conjunction with therapeutic hypothermia, optimal dosing, and safety.

Stigmatisierung

description: Ernährungsarmut ist eine Form der Armut, durch welche betroffene Personen Hungererfahrungen ausgesetzt sind und von der Teilhabe an gesellschaftstypischen Essensangeboten ausgeschlossen sind. Dies führt zu einer Inanspruchnahme von Angeboten im Bereich der Lebensmittelhilfen, zu welchen die Tafeln gehören. Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie die Tafeleinrichtungen in der Schweiz entstanden sind und sich etablierten und mit welchen Herausforderungen Tafelkund*innen aktuell konfrontiert sind. Das Phänomen der Tafeln in der Schweiz wurde bisher wissenschaftlich noch nicht behandelt. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, einen Beitrag zur Schliessung dieser Wissenslücke zu leisten. Um den ersten Teil der Fragestellung zu beantworten, wird die Entstehungsgeschichte der Tafeln in der Schweiz in den Blick genommen. Dabei wird ein Vergleich zur Entwicklung und Entstehung der Tafeln in Deutschland, Frankreich und in den Vereinigten Staaten gezogen. Die Entstehung und Etablierung werden in Zusammenhang mit der Entwicklung und Ausgestaltung des Wohlfahrtsstaats betrachtet, da dies einen beträchtlichen Einfluss auf die Tafeln hat. Um die Frage nach den Herausforderungen, welchen Tafelkund*innen begegnen, zu beantworten, wurde ein qualitatives Forschungsvorgehen gewählt. In vier Leitfadeninterviews wurden insgesamt sieben Personen befragt, welche Kund*innen eines Tafelangebots in einer Schweizer Grossstadt sind und dort wöchentlich Lebensmittel beziehen. Die Datenauswertung erfolgte mittels der inhaltlich strukturierenden Inhaltsanalyse nach Kuckartz. Als Herausforderungen konnte identifiziert werden, dass der Tafelbesuch mit Ausschluss- und Stigmatisierungserfahrungen einhergeht, dass der Zugang zum Tafelangebot mit einem Zeit- und Ressourcenaufwand verbunden ist, dass die Qualität der erhaltenen Ware teilweise mangelhaft ist und dass einer religiös, kulturell oder gesundheitlich bedingten Ernährungsweise durch die verteilten Lebensmittel nicht nachgegangen werden kann. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der Grad der Abhängigkeit von den Tafeln vom Grad der Prekarität der Lebenslagen bestimmt wird und dass ebendiese von gesellschaftlichen und politischen Bedingungen beeinflusst werden. Viele Tafelkund*innen haben Erfahrungen mit sozialstaatlichen Hilfeleistungen und haben erlebt, dass diese ihre Bedürfnisse und Notlagen nicht ausreichend abdecken. Die Tafeln sind nur als temporäre Notlösung zu betrachten und nicht als längerfristige Existenzsicherung armutsbetroffener Personen. Armutsfeste Sozialleistungen und eine gewährleistete Teilhabe- und Verteilungsgerechtigkeit hingegen sind wegweisend für die Bekämpfung der Ernährungsarmut.
A Tale of Three Galaxies: Deciphering the Infrared Emission of the Spectroscopically Anomalous Galaxies IRAS F10398+1455, IRAS F21013-0739 and SDSS J0808+3948

description: The \textit{Spitzer}/Infrared Spectrograph spectra of three spectroscopically anomalous galaxies (IRAS~F10398+1455, IRAS~F21013-0739 and SDSS~J0808+3948) are modeled in terms of a mixture of warm and cold silicate dust, and warm and cold carbon dust. Their unique infrared (IR) emission spectra are characterized by a steep $\simali$5--8$\mum$ emission continuum, strong emission bands from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules, and prominent silicate emission. The steep $\simali$5--8$\mum$ emission continuum and strong PAH emission features suggest the dominance of starbursts, while the silicate emission is indicative of significant heating from active galactic nuclei (AGNs). With warm and cold silicate dust of various compositions ("astronomical silicate," amorphous olivine, or amorphous pyroxene) combined with warm and cold carbon dust (amorphous carbon, or graphite), we are able to closely reproduce the observed IR emission of these %spectroscopically anomalous galaxies. We find that the dust temperature is the primary cause in regulating the steep $\sim$5--8$\mum$ continuum and silicate emission, insensitive to the exact silicate or carbon dust mineralogy and grain size $a$ as long as $a\simlt1\mum$. More specifically, the temperature of the $\simali$5--8$\mum$ continuum emitter (which is essentially carbon dust) of these galaxies is $\sim$250--400$\K$, much lower than that of typical quasars which is $\sim$640$\K$. Moreover, it appears that larger dust grains are preferred in quasars. The lower dust temperature and smaller grain sizes inferred for these three galaxies compared with that of quasars could be due to the fact that they may harbor a young/weak AGN which is not maturely developed yet.

The Impact of Business Process Management Values on Enterprise Content Management Workflow Systems Performance
Creators: name: Abougrad, Hisham
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2020

description: Improving an enterprise’s operations, services, policies and rules using information systems and business process management is a continuance decision-makers role. This research explores how business process management values impact on enterprise content management (ECM) workflow system performance and how business process management values can be incorporated as part of a measurement model for improving ECM workflow system performance to achieve business objectives and organisational goals. The research focuses on establishing a set of variables for the measurement of CERT business process management values and further explores the impact of these CERT values on ECM workflow system performance. The CERT values are customer orientation (C), excellence (E), responsibility (R) and teamwork (T). These values can be applied using the three round structure of the Delphi method to validate key performance indicators, which are used to implement a performance measurement and management framework in order to measure workflow information system performance. Through this process, the current ECM workflow system performance (i.e. “Now” situation) and the desired future system performance (i.e. “Preferred” situation) can be described using a performance profile development model based on the concepts and variables of CERT values. This thesis contributes to business practice studies, information systems literature and the informatics body of knowledge in several ways: First, it explains how CERT values can support decision-making by finding their impact on ECM workflow systems performance. Second, it formulates a performance profile development model, which is a decision-making process to measure ECM workflow systems performance. Third, it shows how to implement the research strategic procedures using Delphi’s rounds. Fourth, it demonstrates the quality of mixed methods as the research choice for this type of information systems enquiry. The research promotes the use of the Delphi method for the implementation of such decision-making processes, the application of the performance profile development model for scientific decision studies and the analysis of the relationships between variables to recognise other key performance indicators within business process management and the performance measurement and management research contexts.

description: Context To successfully compete for future patients, fertility specialists strive to achieve high pregnancy rates. If the specialist transfers multiple embryos during an in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure to obtain high pregnancy rates, the percentage of high order multiples (HOM) may inadvertently rise. ~-- Objective To measure the effect of competition among fertility centers on outcomes in in vitro fertilization. Design and Setting Retrospective cohort of 408 fertility clinics registered with the Society for Assisted Reproduction as providing IVF services in 2000. Competition is defined as number of clinics in a statistical area. Demand for services is based on the population of reproductive aged women. Subjects 381 fertility clinics reporting clinical outcomes Main outcome measures: The clinic high order multiple gestation rate (percentage of pregnancies that were high order multiples) and age adjusted pregnancy rate Results The number of clinics in an area of competition ranged from 1-22. HOM rate per clinic ranged from 0% to 50%. As demand increased, competition increased. As competition increased the number of high order multiples per clinic decreased. In areas of low competition (1-2 clinics) the clinic rate was 8.46%, in areas of intermediate competition (3-7 clinics) 8.39%, and in areas of high competition (8-22 clinics) 8.24%. In areas with intermediate demand, high levels of competition resulted in fewer high order multiples than intermediate competition (RR 0.56, 95% confidence interval 0.36,0.89) or low levels of competition (RR 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.35, 0.94). Age adjusted pregnancy rates did not differ by level of competition. Conclusions Based on this data, the risk of high order multiple gestation decreases with increasing competition between clinics; however, pregnancy rates are unaffected.

description: We quantify the role of Population (Pop) III core-collapse supernovae (SNe) as the first cosmic dust polluters. Starting from a homogeneous set of stellar progenitors with masses in the range [13 - 80] Msun, we find that the mass and composition of newly formed dust depend on the mixing efficiency of the ejecta and the degree of fallback experienced during the explosion. For standard Pop III SNe, whose explosions are calibrated to reproduce the average elemental abundances of Galactic halo stars with [Fe/H] < -2.5, between 0.18 and 3.1 Msun (0.39 - 1.76 Msun) of dust can form in uniformly mixed (unmixed) ejecta, and the dominant grain species are silicates. We also investigate dust formation in the ejecta of faint Pop III SN, where the ejecta experience a strong fallback. By examining a set of models, tailored to minimize the scatter with the abundances of carbon-enhanced Galactic halo stars with [Fe/H ] < -4, we find that amorphous carbon is the only grain species that forms, with masses in the range 2.7 10^{-3} - 0.27 Msun (7.5 10^{-4} - 0.11 Msun) for uniformly mixed (unmixed) ejecta models. Finally, for all the models we estimate the amount and composition of dust that survives the passage of the reverse shock, and find that, depending on circumstellar medium densities, between 3 and 50% (10 - 80%) of dust produced by standard (faint) Pop III SNe can contribute to early dust enrichment.

description: Upon arrival at the lab, participants were greeted by the researcher and escorted to small testing room. Those placed in the dog condition were asked whether or not they were okay with being in the room with a small dog. If they responded in the affirmative, they were introduced to the dog. If students were not comfortable being in the presence of the animal, they were simply told that they were allowed to leave and sent on their way. Participants were read one of two instructional scripts. Those without the presence of the dog (Condition A) were simply told that, after a brief delay in the "loading" of the activity, they would be completing a very short quiz of arithmetic problems and were asked to respond as quickly and accurately as possible. Those in the presence of the dog (Condition B), however, were told the same thing in conjunction with encouragement from the researcher to play with the dog during the delay before the activity. The researcher then asked participants to inform her when the computer prompted them to and left the room. When participants clicked into the activity, a loading screen was displayed for 90 seconds, during which time the participants in Condition B had the opportunity to spend some time alone with the dog. The activity began when the 90 seconds expired, and both conditions proceeded in the same manner. Participants were shown each problem individually on the screen and asked to respond quickly and accurately. When all 25 problems had been completed, they were asked to give a score of their overall confidence level in their responses. Confidence was gauged on a scale of 1-10 where 10 was the most confidence and 1 was the least confident. They were then asked to answer a short series of demographic instructions and prompted to retrieve the researcher from the hallway. When the researcher returned, she read a debriefing script and participants were given the opportunity to withdraw their data from the experiment. They were then escorted back to the entrance of the lab, where they parted ways with the researcher.
Maternal Weight: An opportunity to impact infant mortality in North Carolina

Year: 2010

description: Preliminary data for 2008 revealed that North Carolina’s infant morality rate ranked 44th highest amongst the 50 U.S. states (N.C. Healthy Start Foundation, 2010). Addressing issues with maternal weight may offer an opportunity to impact adverse pregnancy outcomes. This report focused on two objectives to: (1) determine what adverse pregnancy outcomes could be impacted by addressing weight issues in women of childbearing age and (2) analyze the scope of overweight women of childbearing age in North Carolina. The most commonly noted adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with increased prepregnancy BMI were hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes mellitus, c-section, and macrosomia. When compared to women entering pregnancy with a normal or low BMI, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, and gestational hypertension exhibited the highest risk-ranges for women with a high prepregnancy BMI. For many of the adverse pregnancy outcomes, the greater the deviation of the prepregnancy BMI from normal, the greater the risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Based on 2007 Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) data, maternal characteristics associated with increased risk of overweight in North Carolina include age, race, income, WIC recipient, and Medicaid recipient. Healthcare providers (HCP’s) report the following common barriers to discussing weight issues with patients: lack of time to counsel, lack of knowledge/confidence, perception of patient motivation/compliance, insurance or Medicare reimbursement issues, and lack of belief the treatment would be effective. Addressing these barriers may support HCP efforts to improve maternal prepregnancy BMI and subsequently improve pregnancy outcomes. Four additional recommendations for applying this information to impact maternal and child health needs in North Carolina surfaced though this research: (1) encourage use of standard BMI categories within clinical practice and research; (2) support studies about appropriate weight gain for women entering pregnancy with an increased BMI; (3) create and implement overweight/obesity prevention and management programs in North Carolina focused on preconception and the identified high risk subgroups; and (4) ameliorate HCP identified barriers.

description: French Immersion (FI) is a form of second language education with various programs in which French is both a subject and the language of curricular instruction (Canadian Parents for French [CPF], 2019). In 1965, when FI first began in St. Lambert, Québec, it was aimed at middle-class, anglophone students (Davis, 2017; Davis et al., 2019; Kunnas, 2019; Lambert & Tucker, 1972), but its population has since expanded to include culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) learners - that is, students whose first language is neither English nor French and whose cultural and linguistic repertoires represent a strength in their learning communities. These students may be enrolled in FI programs, but their cultures and languages aren't necessarily recognized, valued, and integrated as assets for personal and collective learning - calling into question the potential for true inclusion (Mady et al., 2017). This study thus examines the inclusion of CLD learners in FI at an independent school in southeastern Ontario. Taking a multiple-case study approach, it uses critical race theory to explore the understandings, beliefs, and practices that CLD learners (n = 4), French as a Second Language (FSL) teachers (n = 3), teacher-administrators (n = 2), and parents and guardians of CLD learners (n = 12) associate with the inclusion of these students in FI. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews, photo elicitation, in-person and virtual classroom observations, an online questionnaire, and a reflective journal. Although participants' understandings alluded to greater visibility of CLD learners, the findings suggest that these students weren't always seen in their full complexity. In terms of beliefs, CLD learners were generally viewed through an asset-oriented perspective; however, tensions remain in accepting and understanding knowledge different from the White standard. Finally, although practices were indicative of a pedagogy focused on students' academic success (Ladson-Billings, 2014), the findings showed evidence of a risk of underlying racial inequities. Implications include the need to understand the endemic nature of racism, to problematize race through dialogue and stories that counter "master narratives" (Martinez, 2014), and to address underlying racial inequities consistently and concretely. Ultimately, this research contributes to the development of culturally and linguistically inclusive learning spaces in FI.

Dengue, Vaccination and Vector Control
Creators: name: Regan, Joanna
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Dengue is a vector borne disease transmitted by the Aedes Aegpti mosquito. The dengue virus is capable of causing dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS) potentially fatal forms of the disease with worldwide morbidity and mortality that has been increasing annually. Many strategies have been proposed to reduce the burden of this disease. Treatment for the various forms of the disease is supportive. Much research has been devoted to developing a vaccine to prevent this disease, but a safe and effective vaccine is not currently available. The research and difficulties surrounding the search for a vaccine will be discussed in this paper. Various forms of vector control have also been attempted over the past century with varying degrees of success. The history of the disease and vector control will be explored. This disease has been especially harmful to areas like Puerto Rico where the cost of dengue over the past ten years has been $250 million. This paper will include a systematic review of the literature to determine a feasible, cost effective and sustainable policy for long-term reduction of dengue-related morbidity and mortality in Puerto Rico.

Improving Dementia Caregiver Support, Education, and Training Interventions for the Purpose of Minimizing Caregiver Burden
Creators: name: Mueller, Dana

Year: 2016

description: Dementia is a rapidly growing brain disease affecting over 5 million Americans, costing the U.S. almost $10 billion in 2014 and projected to rise to over $1.2 trillion by 2040 (Hurd, Martorell, Mullen, & Langa, 2013). Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of all dementias, is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. However, the Centers for Disease Control [CDC] use the cause of death listed on death certificates for data and most dementia afflicted persons actually die from pneumonia and other comorbid conditions. For this reason, the number of people who die from Alzheimer's or other dementias may be much higher than the CDC reports (Alzheimer's Association [AA], 2015). Other leading causes of death in the U.S., including breast cancer, stroke, prostate cancer, heart disease and HIV, have significantly reduced death percentages since 2000. However, deaths from Alzheimer's alone have risen over 68% since 2000. This is due to improved research and treatments for other chronic conditions with no cure or preventive treatment for dementia (AA, 2015). In 2012, more than 15 billion people provided unpaid care, estimated at $216 billion, for parents, friends, spouses, and other relatives afflicted with the disease (AA, 2015). Dementia caregivers experience negative physical, psychological, emotional, and financial outcomes, making the disease a socio-economic health crisis (World Health Organization [WHO], 2015). Offering dementia caregivers disease-specific education and support can significantly improve quality of life for dementia patients and their families. With increased public education and awareness and imperative policy reform in individual states, the cost of unhealthy caregiver and dementia patients versus the cost of healthy caregiver and dementia patient outcomes can be analyzed and reduced. Analyzing multiple proven strategies that lessen CB, to provide policy makers and healthcare providers caregiver support intervention recommendations, may lead to greater specificity and efficacy in larger populations.

By resorting to quantum estimation theory, we analytically find the ultimate bound on the precision of estimating key parameters of a broad class of ubiquitous environmental noises ("baths") which the qubit may probe. These include the probe-bath coupling strength, the correlation time of generic bath spectra, the power laws governing these spectra, as well as their dephasing times T2. Our central result is that by optimizing the dynamical control on the probe under realistic constraints one may attain the maximal accuracy bound on the estimation of these parameters by the least number of measurements possible. Applications of this protocol that combines dynamical control and estimation theory tools to quantum sensing are illustrated for a nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond used as a probe.

description: Direct detection of black hole-neutron star pairs is anticipated with the advent of aLIGO. Electromagnetic counterparts may be crucial for a confident gravitational-wave detection as well as for extraction of astronomical information. Yet black hole-neutron star pairs are notoriously dark and so inaccessible to telescopes. Contrary to this expectation, a bright electromagnetic transient can occur in the final moments before merger as long as the neutron star is highly magnetized. The orbital motion of the neutron star magnet creates a Faraday flux and corresponding power available for luminosity. A spectrum of curvature radiation ramps up until the rapid injection of energy ignites a fireball, which would appear as an energetic blackbody peaking in the x ray to $γ$ rays for neutron star field strengths ranging from $10^{12}$G to $10^{16}$G respectively and a $10M_{\odot} $ black hole. The fireball event may last from a few milliseconds to a few seconds depending on the neutron star magnetic-field strength, and may be observable with the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor with a rate up to a few per year for neutron star field strengths $\gtrsim 10^{14}$G. We also discuss a possible decaying post-merger event which could accompany this signal. As an electromagnetic counterpart to these otherwise dark pairs, the black-hole battery should be of great value to the development of multi-messenger astronomy in the era of aLIGO.

description: We consider a multi-species community modelled as a complex network of populations, where the links are given by a random asymmetric matrix J, with fraction 1-C of zero entries, where C reflects the over-all connectivity of the system. The non-zero elements of J are drawn from a gaussian distribution with mean 'mu' and standard deviation . The signs of the elements J reflect the nature of density-dependent interactions, such as predatory-prey, mutualism or competition, and their magnitudes reflect the strength of the interaction. In this study we try to uncover the broad features of the interspecies interactions that determine the global robustness of this network, as indicated by the average number of active nodes (i.e. non-extinct species) in the network, and the total population, reflecting the biomass yield. We find that the network transitions from a completely extinct system to one where all nodes are active, as the mean interaction strength goes from negative to positive. We also find that the total population, displays distinct non-monotonic scaling behaviour with respect to the product 'mu'C, implying that survival is dependent not merely on the number of links, but rather on the combination of the sparseness of the connectivity matrix and the net interaction strength. Moreover, the total population levels are optimal when the network has intermediate net positive connection strengths. At the local level we observe marked qualitative changes in dynamical patterns, ranging from anti-phase clusters of period 2 cycles and chaotic bands, to fixed points, under the variation of mean 'mu' of the interaction strengths. Lastly, we propose an effective low dimensional map to capture the behavior of the entire network, and this provides a broad understanding of the interplay of the local dynamical patterns and the global robustness trends in the network.

What fosters patients' acceptance of Clinical Decision Support Systems? The influence of knowledge, identity, and provider type on popular willingness to use artificial medical intelligence

description: For the past two decades, policymakers and health care delivery systems have promoted greater inclusion of computerized technology into health care services. Physician support for one technology, clinical decision support systems (CDSS), has been lackluster. Some have hypothesized that fears about patients' perception of CDSS and physicians who use CDSS. The current literature reveals a more complex relationship between patients and CDSS. This study aims to further refine that relationship by considering aspects of CDSS use that have not yet been explored. Specifically, we will examine how patients feel about the use of CDSS when they believe it is for their own encounter versus another patient's, when they are given information about the relative accuracies of physicians and CDSS, and when CDSS is used by a physician versus a physician extender, a combat medic in this experiment. Participants in the proposed experiment will read two vignettes and answer questions about the provider's overall quality, the provider's responsibility for the outcome, and the appropriateness of the medical decision. The experiment has been proposed to Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS), so, if accepted, this will be the first study to measure the attitude of a large and representative population as opposed to small populations of university students or employees. The population that we will study and the treatment of CDSS in a realistic manner will provide software developers and health care systems with knowledge to tailor creation and implementation of CDSS tools to garner the greatest benefit for the most patients.
Tobacco Use Among Adolescents: The Need for a Preventive Public Health Approach

description: The negative health consequences of tobacco use are not unknown in the public health and medical healthcare fields. Data have shown that the link between smoking and adverse health effects is undeniable. Cigarette smoking has led to increased rates of cancer, respiratory ailments, cardiovascular disease and stroke (CDC, 2004). These consequences all lead to a decreased quality of life for individuals and also an increased cost to healthcare systems and to society as a whole. The wide-ranging consequences of the decision to smoke cigarettes, the addictive nature of cigarettes and the expansive effects of smoking on society and the public make the issue of tobacco use a clear public health issue. While the health consequences are most commonly realized in adulthood, the behavior, itself, is now becoming common among adolescents. The issue of tobacco use is one that casts a wide net in terms of those who make the decision to initiate smoking. The issue must be considered in a broader way than simply as an adult public health problem. Between 1997 and 2003, the rates of smoking among high school students dropped from 36% to about 22%. However, between 2003 and 2009, declines slowed from 22% to 20%. The slowing decline in teen cigarette use suggests that smoking and all the health problems related to smoking will continue as teens become adults. (CDC, 2011). Data show that the percentage of adolescents who report smoking cigarettes has increased since 2009 (SAMHSA, 2011). Prevention of tobacco use is an essential responsibility of the public health field. The public health field has a targeted focus on the community as well as the prevention of health consequences related to individual behaviors. This foundation for public health makes the use of tobacco among adolescents an obvious and prime area of required focus for the field. As with any public health approach, the consideration of multiple factors is necessary in determining who the problem affects and why the problem might be affecting certain populations and not others. The social determinants of health are a key tool in examining the way in which the use of cigarettes has had an impact on certain populations. This paper seeks to better understand the issue of tobacco use as it relates specifically to adolescents. It will explore the habits and behaviors related specifically to this population and expound upon the need to give this particular population a greater focus. Based on an examination of the literature on the topic, recommendations will be provided on ways in which the public health issue can and should be addressed in order to ensure that effective steps are taken to limit the potentially adverse consequences caused by the prevalence of tobacco use.

description: We investigate, theoretically and experimentally,the properties of diffraction spectra of Fibonacci lattices with arbitrary spacings. We show that, by means of a suitable composition rule, a Fibonacci sequence can be mapped into another one with a different lattice spacing. In this way we are able to define equivalence classes of Fibonacci structures and their generators, namely the Fibonacci sequences from which all the others can be obtained by compostion rule. We show that each class can be characterized by a given diffraction pattern which is essentially the one of the generator, in the sense that the most prominent features of this spectrum are common to all the elements of the class. This theoretical prediction is in good agreement with experimental results.

description: We demonstrate that the electronic bandstructure extracted from quasi-particle interference spectroscopy [Nat. Phys. 9, 468 (2013)] and the theoretically computed form of the superconducting gaps [Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 111, 11663 (2014)] can be used to understand the $dI/dV$ lineshape measured in the normal and superconducting state of CeCoIn$_5$ [Nat. Phys. 9, 474 92103)]. In particular, the $dI/dV$ lineshape, and the spatial structure of defect-induced impurity states, reflects the existence of multiple superconducting gaps of $d_{x^2-y^2}$-symmetry. These results strongly support a recently proposed microscopic origin of the unconventional superconducting state.
