description: PURPOSE: Respiratory infections are the most common reason for admission to paediatric intensive care units (PICU). Most patients with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) receive broad-spectrum antimicrobials, despite low rates of bacterial culture confirmation. Here, we evaluated a molecular diagnostic test for LRTI to inform the better use of antimicrobials. METHODS: The Rapid Assay for Sick Children with Acute Lung infection Study was a single-centre, prospective, observational cohort study of mechanically ventilated children (> 37/40 weeks corrected gestation to 18 years) with suspected community acquired or ventilator-associated LRTI. We evaluated the use of a 52-pathogen custom TaqMan Array Card (TAC) to identify pathogens in non-bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage (mini-BAL) samples. TAC results were compared to routine microbiology testing. Primary study outcomes were sensitivity and specificity of TAC, and time to result. RESULTS: We enrolled 100 patients, all of whom were tested with TAC and 91 of whom had matching culture samples. TAC had a sensitivity of 89.5% (95% confidence interval (CI95) 66.9-98.7) and specificity of 97.9% (CI95 97.2-98.5) compared to routine bacterial and fungal culture. TAC took a median 25.8 h (IQR 9.1-29.8 h) from sample collection to result. Culture was significantly slower: median 110.4 h (IQR 85.2-141.6 h) for a positive result and median 69.4 h (IQR 52.8-78.6) for a negative result. CONCLUSIONS: TAC is a reliable and rapid adjunct diagnostic approach for LRTI in critically ill children, with the potential to aid early rationalisation of antimicrobial therapy.

African Americans--Study and teaching

description: For most African Americans, racial identity is an important aspect of their individual identity. Racial centrality, a dimension of racial identity, is protective of psychosocial well-being among African Americans. The current study explored the stability of racial centrality in African American youth and their parents, and the relationship between parent and child racial centrality across time. African American youth (N = 379) and parents completed surveys when youth were enrolled in Grades 5, 7, 10, and 12. Results indicated that individual differences in parents' and youths' racial centrality were stable across time. Although bivariate correlations confirmed positive relationships between parents' and youths' identity after Grade 7, only a few of these relationships were significant in cross-lag panel analyses. Results provide novel insight about the development and stability of racial centrality in African American youth and the effect that parents have in shaping their children's racial identity.

description: We report on a non-precious, two-phase bifunctional oxygen reduction and evolution (ORR and OER) electrocatalyst with previously unachieved combined roundtrip catalytic reactivity and stability for use in oxygen electrodes of unitized reversible fuel cell/electrolyzers or rechargeable metal-air batteries. The combined OER and ORR overpotential, total, at 10 mA cm(-2) was a record low value of 0.747 V. Rotating Ring Disk Electrode (RRDE) measurements revealed a high faradaic selectivity for the 4 electron pathways, while subsequent continuous MEA tests in reversible electrolyzer cells confirmed the excellent catalyst reactivity rivaling the state-of-the-art combination of iridium (OER) and platinum (ORR).

Self-Knowledge in Kant's Practical Philosophy
Creators: name: MacKenzie, Jordan Louise
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: In the Doctrine of Virtue, Kant claims that the first command of all self-regarding duties is "know thyself". This duty seems to be expressly aimed at combatting our strong propensity towards self-deception. Given this, and given the fact that we have a duty to pursue our moral perfection (MM 6:444-6), the duty of self-knowledge seems to be an intuitive command. And yet, a broader view of Kant's ethical corpus exposes a deep skepticism about the possibility of morally-relevant self-knowledge. In this thesis, I argue that the duty to know ourselves is consistent with Kant's skepticism about practical self-knowledge. On my account, the duty to "know thyself" is aimed at getting us to understand ourselves as rational agents to whom the moral law applies categorically. Only when we arrive at the proper conception of our "moral selves" can we understand the deep problem of self-deception and the demandingness of our self-regarding duties.
A Comparison of Technique Errors between Film and Photostimulable-Phosphor (PSP) Receptors

description: This study evaluated the technique errors of full mouth series exposed with two intraoral radiography receptor systems; traditional film-based and PSP-based (photostimulable phosphor) receptors. Full mouth series (n=405) were randomly selected: three series per each student for film-based (n=81) and PSP-based (n=102). All images (1514 film and 1754 PSP images) were evaluated in four categories for technique errors: 1) horizontal, 2) vertical, 3) cone centering, 4) packet placement. Each image was graded based on the presence and degree of the error (no error, diagnostically acceptable error and diagnostically unacceptable). All images were evaluated using the same viewing conditions: viewbox for film images and a 17" computer monitor for digital images at (1024 x 768 resolution) with no feature enhancements. More technique errors occurred with the use of the PSP receptors when compared to film (p<0.05). Further research should explore use of the PSP receptor with another film holding device.

On cosmos and concepts

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Priority monists maintain that the most fundamental concrete thing is the entire cosmos. However, in contrast with existence monists, priority monists hold that other objects, including medium-sized objects such as tables, exist in exactly the same way as the cosmos. They hold the metametaphysical view that the job of metaphysics is to organize the ontology of the world into hierarchical relations; they are neo-Aristotelians. And, on the most natural reading of priority monism, wholes are more fundamental than parts. Here, I attempt to show that these commitments lead the priority monist into an inescapable trilemma. My argument will focus upon the fact that a priority monist must make room in her ontology for a certain kind of structured mental object, i.e. concepts. But, I shall argue, because of the nature of concepts, every way a priority monist can possibly fit them into her hierarchical ontology leads her to untenable conclusions.

Numerical approximations to the Boussinesq equations
Creators: name: Wilson, Joshua B.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2010

description: A study of the Boussinesq equations in one dimension is presented. These equations describe the nonlinear wave propagation of a free surface under inviscid, incompressible, and irrotational constraints. Physically, they describe the motion of long waves (compared to the depth of the domain) which find applications in oceanography and coastal engineering. Dispersive properties are examined and numerical solutions are found using a hybrid Finite Volume / Finite Differencing Method. Since all of the numerical code is original (written in C++/Python), a detailed explanation of the numerical method is given. To validate the numerical model, convergence rates are computed using analytic solutions found by S. Ding and X. Zhao. Special attention is given to solitary waves (solitons) which can arise in systems exhibiting weakly non-linear and dispersive properties.
Forward Guidance under Disagreement

description: This paper compares the effectiveness of date- and state-based forward guidance issued by the Federal Reserve since mid-2011 accounting for the influence of disagreement within the FOMC. Effectiveness is investigated through the lens of interest rates’ sensitivity to macroeconomic news and I find that the Fed’s forward guidance reduces the sensitivity and therefore crowds out other public information. The sensitivity shrinkage is stronger in the case of date-based forward guidance due to its unconditional nature. Yet, high levels of disagreement among monetary policy makers as published through the FOMC’s dot projections since 2012 partially restore sensitivity to macroeconomic news. Thus, disagreement appears to lower the information content of forward guidance and to weaken the Fed’s commitment as perceived by financial markets. The dot projections are therefore able to reduce the focal point character of forward guidance.

description: This study aims to describe the development of national education policies by uniting the main character values set by the Indonesian Ministry of Education with the moral values of the Lonto leok culture of the Manggarai community. Also, to find out and explain the role of the principal’s leadership based on the Lonto Leok culture teaching approach. This research used a qualitative approach, case study design. To achieve research objectives, data collection through in-depth interviews, observation of participants, and study documentation. Data analysis used a modified analytic analysis method. Data validity is assessed based on the level of credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The results of the study explained that the school’s character values derived from the unification of national character values and the cultural values of Lonto Leok culture had an effective impact on shaping the character of students at school. Besides, explaining that the application of the principal’s transformational leadership role model-based on the approach of Lonto Leok’s cultural teaching dimensions encourages all components of the school, parents, and community to actively participate in supporting the implementation of character education strengthening programs in schools. The contribution of this research is to position the moral values of the “Lonto Leok” culture of the Manggarai community as local cultural assets that support the formation of student character. Also, the dimensions of teaching lonto leok culture affect effectively supporting the principal’s transformational leadership behavior, so that the program to strengthen character education is optimally implemented
Cellulose Nanocrystals/Polymer Nanocomposites for Application in Adhesives

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: Emulsion Polymerization
Cellulose Nanocrystals

description: Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are rod-shaped nanoparticles derived from cellulose, the most abundant polymer in the world. CNCs are as strong as Kevlar™, have a high aspect ratio (traditional nanoparticles are spherical) and thus, a higher surface area, which makes them ideal for use in nanocomposites. In addition, CNCs are considered the only safe nanomaterial according to Health Canada. In this thesis, CNCs were used to produce nanocomposites via in situ semi-batch emulsion polymerization. The target application for these nanocomposites was as pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs). In the past, CNCs have been blended with polymers rather than added in situ. Emulsion polymerization is considered a more sustainable method to synthesize polymers compared to say, solution polymerization. However, adhesives synthesized using this method tend to have a lower shear strength due to poor gel network formation. As a result, conventional emulsion-based PSAs suffer from the inability to increase certain adhesive properties (e.g., tack and peel strength) while simultaneously increasing shear strength. In this thesis, we demonstrate how the use of CNCs via in situ emulsion polymerization overcomes this classic problem. Two polymer systems were tested: isobutyl acrylate (IBA)/n-butyl acrylate (BA)/methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA)/BA/MMA. The use of CNC with IBA, a relatively hydrophilic monomer, rather than with EHA, a highly hydrophobic monomer, resulted in the simultaneous improvement of tack, peel strength and shear strength of the PSA films. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) also indicated improved storage and loss moduli with increasing CNC content, further supporting the reinforcing effect of the CNCs within the PSA. EHA followed similar trends as IBA for conversion, particle size, viscosity, pH, glass transition temperature and gel content. On the other hand, the use of CNC with EHA yielded less improvement in adhesive properties due to poor dispersion of the CNCs because of the hydrophobic repulsion by the EHA.

description: There has been great scholarly interest in examining the management, proliferation, and dynamic articulations of borders through an actor-network lens in recent years. In tracing the networks of Mohamed Harkat, the irregular arrival of a particular group of Tamil migrants, and Deepan Budlakoti, I demonstrate how the border is a fluid entity composed of socio-technical actors dispersed across time and space capable of producing varying degrees of membership statuses. In exploring the cases of these non-citizens, this thesis aims to understand what each of these multi-level networks tells us about the notion of borders and bordering practices alike. This study contributes to the expanding literature that situates the border as a fluid and malleable entity that is made up of interwoven socio-technical practices, discourses, symbols, institutions, and networks through which power is dispersed and the binary distinctions between membership and non-membership increasingly become layered concepts.
Imagining Antonio Maceo: memory, mythology and nation in Cuba, 1896-1959
Creators: name: Nathan, Robert C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This thesis explores collective memories of Antonio Maceo and changing ideals of nation and identity in the Cuban republic. Among the most important military leaders in the Wars of Independence, Maceo, as a Cuban of color, entered popular memory at the intersection of race, identity and the political origins of the nation. In the years following his 1896 death, memories of Antonio Maceo and other figures of the independence movement took shape as collective memories around which Cubans articulated and debated visions of nationhood. Maceo became a powerful tool both for those seeking to legitimate the republican social order and for those that condemned persistent inequality and corruption. What Cubans remembered and celebrated of Maceo, and which memories became dominant, can illuminate the ideals and anxieties that shaped how Cubans imagined and contested the meaning of the nation through the upheavals of independence, republic, and revolution.

description: We present a detailed analysis of narrow of NaI and KI absorption resonance lines toward nearly 40 T Tauri stars in Taurus with the goal of clarifying their origin. The NaI 5889.95 angstrom line is detected toward all but one source, while the weaker KI 7698.96 angstrom line in about two thirds of the sample. The similarity in their peak centroids and the significant positive correlation between their equivalent widths demonstrate that these transitions trace the same atomic gas. The absorption lines are present towards both disk and diskless young stellar objects, which excludes cold gas within the circumstellar disk as the absorbing material. A comparison of NaI and CO detections and peak centroids demonstrates that the atomic and molecular gas are not co-located, the atomic gas is more extended than the molecular gas. The width of the atomic lines corroborates this finding and points to atomic gas about an order of magnitude warmer than the molecular gas. The distribution of NaI radial velocities shows a clear spatial gradient along the length of the Taurus molecular cloud filaments. This suggests that absorption is associated with the Taurus molecular cloud. Assuming the gradient is due to cloud rotation, the rotation of the atomic gas is consistent with differential galactic rotation while the rotation of the molecular gas, although with the same rotation axis, is retrograde. Our analysis shows that narrow NaI and KI absorption resonance lines are useful tracers of the atomic envelope of molecular clouds. In line with recent findings from giant molecular clouds, our results demonstrate that the velocity fields of the atomic and molecular gas are misaligned. The angular momentum of a molecular cloud is not simply inherited from the rotating Galactic disk from which it formed but may be redistributed by cloud-cloud interactions.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: As the costs of athletic departments continue to rise, there is growing concern that the geographical footprint of conferences will not be financially sustainable. In response to this uncertainty, different competition models have been explored at the surface level; however, no clear model has been set forward. Recommendations and lessons learned from thirteen participants were used to create an initial framework for a student-centered competition model. The construction of this model is driven by factors considered most important to student-athlete academic and athletic experiences while continuing to provide broad based opportunities and responsible stewardship of limited resources. By delineating a true alternative competition model, this study aims to provide administrators and coaches with a viable alternative structure.

Investigating groundwater inputs to Mississippi River Deltaic wetlands using spatial and temporal responses of the geochemical tracer, 222Rn
Creators: name: Kim, Jihyuk
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) has been recognized as a significant coastal process that transports terrestrial freshwater, nutrients, and anthropogenic contaminants to the ocean. Globally, total influxes of terrestrial SGD to the ocean are equal to 5 to 10% of the annual global river water discharge into the ocean. In particular, several recent SGD studies have reported significant SGD fluxes in global deltaic regions such as the Yellow River Delta and Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta. The Mississippi River Delta (MRD) is the seventh largest delta on Earth, and was formed by thick layers of sandy sediments that were transported and deposited by numerous ancient river channels. In particular, the point bar aquifer, characterized as having a high sediment permeability and porosity, has developed along the Mississippi River (MR) natural levee. Considering the increased difference of hydraulic head between the MR and nearby swamps at high flood stage of the MR, the point bar aquifer and buried paleo river channels may be a conduit for groundwater to the MRD. To understand the hydrologic interaction between the MR and nearby swamps, a natural radioisotope radon (222Rn) was utilized as a groundwater tracer. In addition, dissolved organic carbon, total nitrogen, stable isotopes, and 222Rn activities in surface waters were measured to understand the biogeochemical transports of SGD in the MRD. The average SGD seepage rate in MRD was found to be 2.1 cm/day, or 1.3 × 108 m3 day-1 to the MRD. The source of the SGD in the MRD was a mixture of MR and precipitation based on stable isotope results. In addition, the concentration of biogeochemical constituents in SGD was at maximum two orders of magnitude higher than in surface waters. The main control factor of SGD in the upper MRD was influenced by the seasonal MR water stage. Thus, SGD in the MRD is not only a significant biogeochemical source, but also contributes freshwater the wetland sustainability in the MRD.

In Vivo Examination of the Molecular Mechanics Underlying Apical Constriction's Initiation in C. elegans Gastrulation
Creators: name: Cupp, Timothy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: One remarkable finding from research in developmental biology is that surprisingly few cellular behaviors are responsible for the wide variety of morphogenetic events common among all eukaryotes. Molecular mechanisms underlying cell shape changes during tissue restructuring can explain how morphogenesis proceeds in vivo. During apical constriction, contractile myosin movements become linked to apical junctions, resulting in junctional pulling that can change cell shape. The process by which this dynamic linkage is achieved remains unknown, though it occurs with strict developmental timing in at least two systems. Since timing and patterning information instruct enrichment of specific mRNAs in the cells that apically constrict in C. elegans, we targeted these genes in an RNAi screen, identifying candidates that have an involvement in apical constriction. Our data suggest that zyxin, an important Focal Adhesion protein, may mediate the connections between the actomyosin cortex and adherens junctions during the initiation of apical constriction.

description: In this paper, we study the response of 2D framed structures made of rectangular cells, to the sudden removal of columns. We employ a simulation algorithm based on the Discrete Element Method, where the structural elements are represented by elasto-plastic Euler Bernoulli beams with elongation-rotation failure threshold. The effect of structural cell slenderness and of topological hierarchy on the dynamic residual strength after damage $\ROne$ is investigated. Topologically \textit{hierarchical} frames have a primary structure made of few massive elements, while \textit{homogeneous} frames are made of many thin elements. We also show how $\ROne$ depends on the activated collapse mechanisms, which are determined by the mechanical hierarchy between beams and columns, i.e. by their relative strength and stiffness. Finally, principles of robustness-oriented capacity design which seem to be in contrast to the conventional anti-seismic capacity design are addressed.

description: Metal and polyethylene debris generated from total hip and knee arthroplasty components can cause chronic inflammation and other adverse tissue responses that lead to premature implant failure. It adds immense burden to both patients and the healthcare system. Much effort has been made to understand the reasons of premature failure by studying human tissue pathological responses, performing preclinical in vitro and animal experiments, as well as improving the implant design and materials as well as surgical techniques. Yet, there is still a knowledge gap on interaction between debris and periprosthetic environment. The implant debris can be both solid and soluble, metallic, polymeric, as well as ceramic. It can be derived from primary articulating surface as well as secondary modular interfaces. Beyond a certain debris threshold, foreign body reactions will be elicited and subsequently an inflammation cascade will be triggered. Currently, tissue-level evaluation still heavily relies on conventional histology/immunohistochemistry examination, which is labor-intensive, slow, and may be subjected to observer’s bias. This dissertation proposes a new paradigm using FTIR imaging (FTIRI) to perform enhanced spectral histopathological assessment on retrieved tissue samples. It is a label-free, high-fidelity and high-throughput approach that can provide extensive biochemical information of underlying pathophysiological conditions. The presented research characterized the chemistry of debris from periprosthetic capsular tissues, as well as their associated biochemical alterations. Through incorporation with other spectro-imaging modalities, extensive information such as particle composition, speciation, and oxidation status have been generated. It facilitated the understanding of questions like the formation mechanism of characteristic CrPO4 debris associated with implant corrosion and the implication of potential delayed osteolysis due to the accumulation of ultrafine polyethylene debris. Besides the characterization of implant debris and associated chemical alterations of the periprosthetic tissue, the use of FTIRI in concert with Raman spectroscopy also enables the analysis of in vivo generated oxidation profile of polyethylene bearing surfaces from total joint replacements and how in vivo chemical changes are enable by the absorbance of various species from the periprosthetic environment. This new approach is important because it enables a better understanding of the long-term evolution of mechanical and tribological properties of these implants.

Subjects: populism

description: Common wisdom argues that populism has detrimental effects on democracy.

However, if populism has such dangerous potential, then how can we explain the increasing acceptance of populist candidates and parties worldwide?

Prior research suggests that this success is to be attributed to the use of populist rhetoric. However, it is yet to be established whether its persuasive effects differ depending on the type of frame - anti-elite or exclusionist.

To address this gap, this study employs an online experiment (N= 134) to test whether (H1) anti-elite frames elicit a higher level of issue agreement about an economic issue – the decline of purchasing power of citizens - as compared to exclusionist and neutral frames. Moreover, it explores whether (H2) respondents’ levels of populist attitudes moderate this relationship. With these expectations, this study aims to equip citizens with an understanding of the mechanisms of populist frames, helping them navigate information with a discerning eye.

description: Background: The WHO has declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. With no vaccine currently available, using behavioural measures to reduce the spread of the virus within the population is an important tool in mitigating the effects of this pandemic. As such, social distancing measures are being implemented globally and have proven an effective tool in slowing the large-scale spread of the virus. Aim: This scoping review will focus on answering key questions about the state of the evidence on the behavioural determinants of adherence to social distancing measures in research on COVID-19. Method: A scoping review will be conducted in accordance guidelines for best practice. Literature searches will be conducted using online databases and grey literature sources. Databases will include Medline, Web of Science, Embase and PsycInfo, alongside relevant pre-print servers. Grey literature will be searched on Google Scholar. Screening, data extraction and quality appraisal will be conducted independently by two members of the research team, with any discrepancies resolved by consensus discussion and an additional team member if needed. Quality appraisal will be conducted using the Cochrane’s ROBINS-I tool, the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool, and the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist where appropriate. Results will be analysed by mapping findings onto the Theoretical Domains Framework and visualising characterisitcs of the included studies using EviAtlas. Conclusion: The results of this study may facilitate the systematic development of behavioural interventions to increase adherence to social distancing measures.

description: Painful tic convulsif (PTC), first reported by Harvey Cushing in 1920, is an extremely rare clinical entity consisting of both hemifacial spasm (HFS) and ipsilateral trigeminal neuralgia (TN). It is believed that PTC is caused by nerve compression in the cerebellopontine angle, and microvascular decompression (MVD) can be helpful for most PTC cases. However, since most reports are case reports and case serials, we still do not have a holistic view on the epidemiology, cause, and prognosis of PTC. We aimed to conducted an individual-patient-data meta-analysis to better understand the epidemiology, cause, and prognosis of PTC syndrome. This is a pre-registration of the meta-analysis, with associated data collection and analysis plan.

description: Evolution of visual object recognition architectures based on Convolutional Neural Networks & Convolutional Deep Belief Networks paradigms has revolutionized artificial Vision Science. These architectures extract & learn the real world hierarchical visual features utilizing supervised & unsupervised learning approaches respectively. Both the approaches yet cannot scale up realistically to provide recognition for a very large number of objects as high as 10K. We propose a two level hierarchical deep learning architecture inspired by divide & conquer principle that decomposes the large scale recognition architecture into root & leaf level model architectures. Each of the root & leaf level models is trained exclusively to provide superior results than possible by any 1-level deep learning architecture prevalent today. The proposed architecture classifies objects in two steps. In the first step the root level model classifies the object in a high level category. In the second step, the leaf level recognition model for the recognized high level category is selected among all the leaf models. This leaf level model is presented with the same input object image which classifies it in a specific category. Also we propose a blend of leaf level models trained with either supervised or unsupervised learning approaches. Unsupervised learning is suitable whenever labelled data is scarce for the specific leaf level models. Currently the training of leaf level models is in progress; where we have trained 25 out of the total 47 leaf level models as of now. We have trained the leaf models with the best case top-5 error rate of 3.2% on the validation data set for the particular leaf models. Also we demonstrate that the validation error of the leaf level models saturates towards the above mentioned accuracy as the number of epochs are increased to more than sixty.
