Do relational differences in demographics and work values result in conflict and burnout in the nursing workforce?
Creators: name: Wolff, Angela Christine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The consequences of diversity have not been formally considered as contributing to undesirable work environments in healthcare. I sought to address this gap by examining a conceptual model that explains how diversity within the nursing workforce gives rise to interpersonal conflict (relationship and task) within workgroups, which in turn, is linked to burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and diminished personal accomplishment). Diversity was defined as the degree of relative difference or dissimilarity between an individual and other workgroup members on select attributes, which in this study were age, education, ethnicity/race, and work values. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were taken from a population-based sample of 603 nurses (registered nurses and licensed practical nurses) (80% response rate) in two acute care hospitals in British Columbia, Canada. At the individual level of analysis, a two-step approach to latent variable modelling was used: (a) factor analysis techniques to test and establish the validity of the measurement model and (b) structural equation modelling to test the hypothesized model. Partial support for the proposed model was found for both the direct relationships between diversity and burnout as well as the mediating effects of interpersonal conflict. Overall, the results indicated that perceived diversity explained a greater percentage of the variance in burnout compared with the explanatory power of actual diversity. Specifically, perceived work values and educational diversity were the most important explanatory variables of depersonalization (Pratt index = 58% and 21%, respectively) and were similarly predictive of diminished personal accomplishment (Pratt index = 69% and 35%, respectively). Emotional exhaustion was solely (Pratt index = 100%) explained by perceived work values diversity; however, the total variance explained was very minimal. Both individuals’ involvement in relationship and task conflict were the predominant mediating variables of the relationships between perceived work values diversity and emotional exhaustion (59% and 76% total mediation, respectively), depersonalization (57% and 68% total mediation, respectively), and diminished personal accomplishment (28% and 32% total mediation, respectively). The implications of the study relate to nurses and decision-makers at the micro, meso, and macro level of practice to create a climate of support for, and acceptance of, diversity in healthcare workplaces.

description: Nuclear spins and paramagnetic centers in a solid randomly group to form clusters featuring nearly-degenerate, hybrid states whose dynamics are central to processes involving nuclear spin-lattice relaxation and diffusion. Their characterization, however, has proven notoriously difficult mostly due to their relative isolation and comparatively low concentration. Here, we combine field-cycling experiments, optical spin pumping, and variable radio-frequency (RF) excitation to probe transitions between hybrid multi-spin states formed by strongly coupled electronic and nuclear spins in diamond. Leveraging bulk nuclei as a collective time-integrating sensor, we probe the response of these spin clusters as we simultaneously vary the applied magnetic field and RF excitation to reconstruct multi-dimensional spectra. We uncover complex nuclear polarization patterns of alternating sign that we qualitatively capture through analytical and numerical modeling. Our results unambiguously expose the impact that strongly-hyperfine-coupled nuclei can have on the spin dynamics of the crystal, and inform future routes to spin cluster control and detection.

Aspects of intra-urban mobility: Calgary, 1963-68

description: This study was concerned with the intra-urban mobility process in Calgary during a five year period, 1963-68. It focused on both the mobility of households and the general locational preferences of households in the mobile and stable stages of their life-cycle. Using data obtained from a sample population of the city of Calgary, those few important variables underlying the past mobility behaviour of households were identified. Movers were found to have a higher probability of having a head of household under 35 year of age; having young children; a higher educational level; more yearly employment; renting their past and present dwelling; and greater dissatisfaction with both dwelling unit and neighbourhood. Stayers were found to have a higher probability of having a head of household over 35 years of age; having no young children; a lower level of education; less yearly employment; owning their present and past dwelling; and less dissatisfaction with both dwelling unit and neighbourhood. When the variables were used in a discriminant analysis, they were collectively responsible for correctly classifying 80% of the sample population into one of the two mobility possibilities: mover households or stayer households. The study also sought to evaluate whether the general locational preferences of mover and stayer households in Calgary could support the hypothesis that mover households prefer central and peripheral locations while stayer households prefer locations in the intermediate, or middle ring, suburbs. While the spatial patterning of mobility, as measured by length of residence, did appear to accord with the hypothesis, the hypothesis could not be fully supported. The discriminant analysis permitted the deviant mover and stayer households to be isolated from the typical mover and stayer households. The spatial distribution of the movers was the result of two different distributions; those of the typical and deviant movers. Similarly the spatial distribution of the stayers was the result of two different distributions; those of the typical and deviant stayer. It was suggested that the differing locational preferences of the deviant households offered a partial explanation of why the hypothesis above would not be fully supported. Thus the study found that the life-cycle model of intraurban residential mobility, while providing help in explaining why families move, could not adequately explain the locational preferences of households.

description: We present an Ultra-Cool Dwarf (UCD) catalogue compiled from low southern Galactic latitudes and mid-plane, from a cross-correlation of the 2MASS and SuperCOSMOS surveys. The catalogue contains 246 members identified from 5042 sq. deg. within 220 deg. <= l <= 360 deg. and 0 deg. < l <= 30 deg., for |b| <= 15 deg. Sixteen candidates are spectroscopically confirmed in the near-IR as UCDs with spectral types from M7.5V to L9. Our catalogue selection method is presented enabling UCDs from ~M8V to the L-T transition to be selected down to a 2MASS limiting magnitude of Ks ~= 14.5 mag. This method does not require candidates to have optical detections for catalogue inclusion. An optimal set of optical/near-IR and reduced proper-motion selection criteria have been defined that includes: an Rf and Ivn photometric surface gravity test, a dual Rf-band variability check, and an additional photometric classification scheme to selectively limit contaminants. We identify four candidates as possible companions to nearby Hipparcos stars -- observations are needed to identify these as potential benchmark UCD companions. We also identify twelve UCDs within a possible distance 20 pc, three are previously unknown of which two are estimated within 10 pc, complimenting the nearby volume-limited census of UCDs. An analysis of the catalogue spatial completeness provides estimates for distance completeness over three UCD MJ ranges, while Monte-Carlo simulations provide an estimate of catalogue areal completeness at the 75 per cent level. We estimate a UCD space density of Rho (total) = (6.41+-3.01)x10^3/pc^3 over the range of 10.5 <= MJ ~< 14.9, similar to values measured at higher Galactic latitudes (|b| ~> 10 deg.) in the field population and obtained from more robust spectroscopically confirmed UCD samples.

description: Spins confined to atomically-thin semiconductors are being actively explored as quantum information carriers. In transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), the hexagonal crystal lattice gives rise to an additional valley degree of freedom with spin-valley locking and potentially enhanced spin life- and coherence times. However, realizing well-separated single-particle levels, and achieving transparent electrical contact to address them has remained challenging. Here, we report well-defined spin states in a few-layer MoS$ _2$ transistor, characterized with a spectral resolution of $\sim{50~μ}$eV at ${T_\textrm{el} = 150}$~mK. Ground state magnetospectroscopy confirms a finite Berry-curvature induced coupling of spin and valley, reflected in a pronounced Zeeman anisotropy, with a large out-of-plane $g$-factor of ${g_\perp \simeq 8}$. A finite in-plane $g$-factor (${g_\parallel \simeq 0.55-0.8}$) allows us to quantify spin-valley locking and estimate the spin-orbit splitting ${2Δ_{\rm SO} \sim 100~μ}$eV. The demonstration of spin-valley locking is an important milestone towards realizing spin-valley quantum bits.

description: A diversified risk-adjusted time-series momentum (TSMOM) portfolio can deliver substantial abnormal returns and offer some degree of tail risk protection during extreme market events. The performance of existing TSMOM strategies, however, relies not only on the quality of the momentum signal but also on the efficacy of the volatility estimator. Yet many of the existing studies have always considered these two factors to be independent. Inspired by recent progress in Multi-Task Learning (MTL), we present a new approach using MTL in a deep neural network architecture that jointly learns portfolio construction and various auxiliary tasks related to volatility, such as forecasting realized volatility as measured by different volatility estimators. Through backtesting from January 2000 to December 2020 on a diversified portfolio of continuous futures contracts, we demonstrate that even after accounting for transaction costs of up to 3 basis points, our approach outperforms existing TSMOM strategies. Moreover, experiments confirm that adding auxiliary tasks indeed boosts the portfolio's performance. These findings demonstrate that MTL can be a powerful tool in finance.

description: This study aims to determine the research mapping regarding the Price Earning Ratio (PER) ratio in Islamic and Conventional Banking using a mix-method approach, namely the VOSviewer bibliometric study and literature review. Data analysis techniques include: (1) mapping the distribution of journal publications around the PER ratio; (2) mapping the results of the VOSviewer bibliometric visualization around the PER ratio based on the number of clusters and their items; and (3) mapping research topics around the PER ratio using a literature review study. The results showed that: (1) based on the distribution of journal publications, there were 571 journal publications regarding the PER ratio; (2) based on the mapping of the VOSviewer bibliometric study, the network visualization results around the PER ratio are divided into 4 clusters and 178 topic items; (3) based on the mapping of literature review studies, there are 31 topics around the influence of the PER ratio and 49 topics about the determinants of the PER ratio. The implications and contributions of this research are to map research topics around PER ratios in Islamic and Conventional Banking which are often or rarely researched by researchers so that they can be a reference for subsequent researchers.
Robustness of implicit Runge-Kutta schemes with respect to errors in the specification of the system’s complex frequencies.

description: The note uses the idealized single-mode complex-frequency response analysis to investigate (subject to the limitations inherent in this idealization) the stability and robustness of some time integration schemes that might be considered candidates for incorporation within a model where both long time steps and a high order of formal accuracy are desired. Generally, we would expect that such models would be formulated in the semi-Lagrangian style, although this is not strictly necessary. The family of schemes we consider can broadly be categorized as “implicit Runge- Kutta” (of which the trapezoidal, and decentered generalizations are relatively trivial examples). The numerical robustness of these implicit schemes under simplified conditions depends upon the number of applications of the imperfect corrector iterations, and the amounts of decentering at each stage. The idealized experiments we describe shed light on this dependency and narrow down the choices we might wish to consider in formulating a formally accurate numerical model with a fuller degree of implicitness than is customarily adopted within the semi-Lagrangian paradigm.

description: We investigated the magnetic phase diagram of single crystals of SrNdFeO$_{4}$ by measuring the magnetic properties, the specific heat and the dielectric permittivity. The system has two magnetically active ions, Fe$^{3+}$ and Nd$^{3+}$. The Fe$^{3+}$ spins are antiferromagnetically ordered below 360 K with the moments lying in the ab-plane, and undergo a reorientation transition at about 35-37 K to an antiferromagnetic order with the moments along the c-axis. A short-range, antiferromagnetic ordering of Nd$^{3+}$ along the c-axis was attributed to the reorientation of Fe$^{3+}$ followed by a long-range ordering at lower temperature [S. Oyama {\it et al.} J. Phys.: Condens. Matter. {\bf 16}, 1823 (2004)]. At low temperatures and magnetic fields above 8 T, the Nd$^{3+}$ moments are completely spin-polarized. The dielectric permittivity also shows anomalies associated with spin configuration changes, indicating that this compound has considerable coupling between spin and lattice. A possible magnetic structure is proposed to explain the results.

description: The Arecibo L-Band Feed Array Zone of Avoidance (ALFA ZOA) Survey has discovered a nearby galaxy, ALFA ZOA J1952+1428, at a heliocentric velocity of +279 km s-1. The galaxy was discovered at low Galactic latitude by 21-cm emission from neutral hydrogen (Hi). We have obtained follow-up observations with the EVLA and the 0.9-m SARA optical telescope. The Hi distribution overlaps an uncataloged, potential optical counterpart. The Hi linear size is 1.4 kpc at our adopted distance of D = 7 Mpc, but the distance estimate is uncertain as Hubble's law is unreliable at low recessional velocities. The optical counterpart has mB = 16.9 mag and B - R = 0.1 mag. These characteristics, including MHI = 107.0 M\odot and LB = 107.5 L\odot, if at 7 Mpc, indicate that this galaxy is a blue compact dwarf, but this remains uncertain until further follow-up observations are complete. Optical follow-up observations are ongoing and near infrared follow-up observations have been scheduled.

description: Studying physiology over a broad population for long periods of time is difficult primarily because collecting human physiologic data is intrusive, dangerous, and expensive. Electronic health record (EHR) data promise to support the development and testing of mechanistic physiologic models on diverse population, but limitations in the data have thus far thwarted such use. For instance, using uncontrolled population-scale EHR data to verify the outcome of time dependent behavior of mechanistic, constructive models can be difficult because: (i) aggregation of the population can obscure or generate a signal, (ii) there is often no control population, and (iii) diversity in how the population is measured can make the data difficult to fit into conventional analysis techniques. This paper shows that it is possible to use EHR data to test a physiological model for a population and over long time scales. Specifically, a methodology is developed and demonstrated for testing a mechanistic, time-dependent, physiological model of serum glucose dynamics with uncontrolled, population-scale, physiological patient data extracted from an EHR repository. It is shown that there is no observable daily variation the normalized mean glucose for any EHR subpopulations. In contrast, a derived value, daily variation in nonlinear correlation quantified by the time-delayed mutual information (TDMI), did reveal the intuitively expected diurnal variation in glucose levels amongst a wild population of humans. Moreover, in a population of intravenously fed patients, there was no observable TDMI-based diurnal signal. These TDMI-based signals, via a glucose insulin model, were then connected with human feeding patterns. In particular, a constructive physiological model was shown to correctly predict the difference between the general uncontrolled population and a subpopulation whose feeding was controlled.

description: Halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with state-of-the-art efficiencies consist of thermally unstable methylammonium (MA). In this report, we have employed the surface passivation method with multifunctional fluoroarene molecule, which suppresses the formation of PbI2 and δ-perovskite phase in MA/Br-free perovskite film. The penta fluoro-phenylhydrazine (5F-PHZ) passivation effectively mitigates the defects at surface or grain boundaries in perovskite film with fluoroarene embedded interfacial layer as a consequence of stronger halogen bonding with fluoroarene moieties or NH-NH2 terminal. As a result, the PSC with a p-i-n configuration achieved superior operational thermal stability and a PCE exceeding 22 % with a large area of ~1 cm2. This work underscores a universal strategy for defect passivation to further improvement of efficiency using a multifunctional passivator. This report gives insights into the film growth properties, device photo-physics, and defect analysis correlating with device performance and device stability.

description: We consider the design of coding schemes for the wireless two-way relaying channel when there is no channel state information at the transmitter. In the spirit of the compute and forward paradigm, we present a multilevel coding scheme that permits computation (or, decoding) of a class of functions at the relay. The function to be computed (or, decoded) is then chosen depending on the channel realization. We define such a class of functions which can be decoded at the relay using the proposed coding scheme and derive rates that are universally achievable over a set of channel gains when this class of functions is used at the relay. We develop our framework with general modulation formats in mind, but numerical results are presented for the case where each node transmits using the QPSK constellation. Numerical results with QPSK show that the flexibility afforded by our proposed scheme results in substantially higher rates than those achievable by always using a fixed function or by adapting the function at the relay but coding over GF(4).

description: Off-equilibrium dynamics of a three-dimensional lattice model with nearest- and next nearest-neighbors exclusions is studied. At equilibrium, the model undergoes a first-order fluid-solid transition. Non-equilibrium filling, through random sequential adsorption with diffusion, creates amorphous structures and terminates at a disordered state with random closest packing density that lies in the equilibrium solid regime. The approach towards random closest packing is characterized by two distinct power-law regimes, reflecting the formation of small densely packed grains in the long time regime of the filling process. We then study the fixed-density relaxation of these amorphous structures towards the solid phase. The route to crystallization is shown to deviate from the simple grain growth proposed by classical nucleation theory. Our measurements suggest that relaxation is driven mainly by coalescence of neighboring crystallized grains which exist in the initial amorphous state.
Evolution of respiratory physiology for extreme high-altitude flight in the bar-headed goose

description: Bar-headed geese migrate over the Himalayas at up to 9000m elevation where they must sustain the high metabolic rates needed for flight despite being severely hypoxic. The present thesis studied the respiratory physiology of this species to better understand the basis for this impressive feat. Evolutionary changes important for high altitude flight were deduced by comparing bar-headed geese to several low altitude species (greylag geese, pink-footed geese, barnacle geese, mallard ducks, or pekin ducks). Theoretical modelling of the O2 transport pathway was first used to determine traits with the greatest influence over O2 transport in hypoxia. This suggested that a heightened capacity to increase ventilation, a high haemoglobin O2 affinity, and an enhanced O2 diffusing capacity in the muscle should be most influential for enhancing O2 supply. Therefore, the remainder of this thesis tested the general hypothesis that these traits have evolved in bar-headed geese. Total ventilation was higher in bar-headed geese than in low altitude waterfowl during severe environmental hypoxia. This was entirely due to larger tidal volumes, which should have further enhanced effective ventilation of the gas exchange surface and thus increased O2 loading and arterial O2 tension. Two primary mechanisms accounted for this difference, (i) a reduction in metabolic depression during hypoxia and (ii) a blunted chemosensitivity to respiratory hypocapnia. These studies also supported previous research showing that bar-headed geese have a higher haemoglobin O2 affinity. Oxygen diffusing capacity in the flight muscle was also enhanced in bar-headed geese. This was due to an increased number of capillaries surrounding each muscle fiber and a redistribution of mitochondria within these fibers towards the cell membrane, closer to capillaries. There were also slight increases in aerobic capacity and alterations in the control of mitochondrial respiration, which could help sustain ATP turnover during prolonged flight in hypoxia. This thesis has shown that high altitude adaptation in bar-headed geese has involved a suite of evolutionary changes at multiple steps in the O2 transport pathway. This work provides important insights into how respiratory systems evolve, and helps explain the incredible ability of bar-headed geese to fly at extremely high altitudes.

description: Recent measurements of solar wind turbulence report the presence of intermittent, exponentially distributed angular discontinuities in the magnetic field. In this Letter, we study whether such discontinuities can be produced by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. We detect the discontinuities by measuring the fluctuations of the magnetic field direction, Delta theta, across fixed spatial increments Delta x in direct numerical simulations of MHD turbulence with an imposed uniform guide field B_0. A large region of the probability density function (pdf) for Delta theta is found to follow an exponential decay, proportional to exp(-Delta theta/theta_*), with characteristic angle theta_* ~ (14 deg) (b_rms/B_0)^0.65 for a broad range of guide-field strengths. We find that discontinuities observed in the solar wind can be reproduced by MHD turbulence with reasonable ratios of b_rms/B_0. We also observe an excess of small angular discontinuities when Delta x becomes small, possibly indicating an increasing statistical significance of dissipation-scale structures. The structure of the pdf in this case closely resembles the two-population pdf seen in the solar wind. We thus propose that strong discontinuities are associated with inertial-range MHD turbulence, while weak discontinuities emerge from near-dissipation-range turbulence. In addition, we find that the structure functions of the magnetic field direction exhibit anomalous scaling exponents, which indicates the existence of intermittent structures.

description: We investigate some physical characteristics of Millisecond Pulsar (MSP) such as magnetic fields, spin periods and masses, that are produced by Accretion Induced Collapse (AIC) of an accreting white dwarf (WD) in stellar binary systems. We also investigate the changes of these characteristics during the mass-transfer phase of the system in its way to become a MSP. Our approach allows us to follow the changes in magnetic fields and spin periods during the conversion of WDs to MSPs via AIC process. We focus our attention mainly on the massive binary WDs (M > 1.0Msun) forming cataclysmic variables, that could potentially evolve to reach Chandrasekhar limit, thereafter they collapse and become MSPs. Knowledge about these parameters might be useful for further modeling of the observed features of AIC.

description: We present further no-go theorems for classical de Sitter vacua in Type II string theory, i.e., de Sitter constructions that do not invoke non-perturbative effects or explicit supersymmetry breaking localized sources. By analyzing the stability of the 4D potential arising from compactification on manfiolds with curvature, fluxes, and orientifold planes, we found that additional ingredients, beyond the minimal ones presented so far, are necessary to avoid the presence of unstable modes. We enumerate the minimal setups for (meta)stable de Sitter vacua to arise in this context.

description: In the context of the Fab-Four theory of gravity in a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker background, in this work we use the cosmography approach to study a particular self-tuning filter solution focused on a zero-curvature fixed point to study the $H_0$ tension. In this scheme, the equations restrict the universe's evolution to certain scenarios, including radiation-like expansion, matter-like expansion, and late-time acceleration. Furthermore, we build the cosmographic series of the Fab-Four theory to obtain the kinematic parameters as the Hubble constant $H_0$ and the deceleration parameter $q_0$ for all the scenarios mentioned. Finally, we compare our results to find that it is possible to alleviate the current discrepancy on $H_0$ by considering specific requirements on the free parameters of the Fab-Four theory through a self-tuning filter.

Expression of duplicated genes in a polyploid plant in response to abiotic stress
Creators: name: Dong, Shaowei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Polyploidy, or genome doubling, is an important process in plant evolution that has effects on phenotypes, such as changes in flowering time. Allopolyploidy can result in considerable genetic changes including alterations to genome structure, DNA methylation patterns, and gene expression. Although the expression of duplicated genes in polyploid plants has been extensively studied, little is known about the effects of abiotic stress conditions on homeologous gene expression. In this thesis, I examined the expression of 30 homeologous gene pairs in response to five abiotic stress treatments, using a single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) assay in allotetraploid Gossypium hirsutum. Twenty-two genes showed stress-induced changes in the expression ratio of the two homeologs, and eight genes showed reciprocal expression changes in response to different abiotic stress treatments, suggesting quantitative subfunctionalization. I also examined the expression of ten homeologous gene pairs in response to three abiotic stress treatments in a synthetic Gossypium allotetraploid. Eight genes showed stress-induced expression changes. Comparison of the expression changes showed that there was little correspondence in the stress-induced homeolog expression patterns between the natural and synthetic Gossypium polyploids. The results of this study indicate that abiotic stress conditions can have considerable effects on expression of homeologous genes. Some of those expression changes might help plants survive abiotic stresses.
