description: Sexually transmitted HIV infections in heterosexual men are acquired through the penis. Low adherence to condom usage and the fact that 40% of circumcised men are not protected indicate the need for additional prevention strategies. Here, we describe a new approach to evaluate the prevention of penile HIV transmission. We demonstrated that the entire male genital tract (MGT) of bone marrow/liver/thymus (BLT) humanized mice is repopulated with human T and myeloid cells. The majority of the human T cells in the MGT express CD4 and CCR5. Direct penile exposure to HIV leads to systemic infection including all tissues of the MGT. HIV replication throughout the MGT was reduced 100-1,000-fold by treatment with 4'-ethynyl-2-fluoro-2'-deoxyadenosine (EFdA), resulting in the restoration of CD4+ T cell levels. Importantly, systemic preexposure prophylaxis with EFdA effectively protects from penile HIV acquisition. IMPORTANCE Over 84.2 million people have been infected by the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) during the past 40 years, most through sexual transmission. Men comprise approximately half of the HIV-infected population worldwide. Sexually transmitted HIV infections in exclusively heterosexual men are acquired through the penis. However, direct evaluation of HIV infection throughout the human male genital tract (MGT) is not possible. Here, we developed a new in vivo model that permits, for the first time, the detail analysis of HIV infection. Using BLT humanized mice, we showed that productive HIV infection occurs throughout the entire MGT and induces a dramatic reduction in human CD4 T cells compromising immune responses in this organ. Antiretroviral treatment with novel drug EFdA suppresses HIV replication in all tissues of the MGT, restores normal levels of CD4 T cells and is highly efficient at preventing penile transmission.

description: We investigate the effects of external electric fields on the electronic properties of bilayer armchair graphene nano-ribbons. Using atomistic simulations with Tight Binding calculations and the Non-equilibrium Green function formalism, we demonstrate that (i) in semi-metallic structures, vertical fields impact more effectively than transverse fields in terms of opening larger bandgap, showing a contrary phenomenon compared to that demonstrated in previous studies in bilayer zigzag graphene nano-ribbons; (ii) in some semiconducting structures, if transverse fields just show usual effects as in single layer armchair graphene nano-ribbons where the bandgap is suppressed when varying the applied potential, vertical fields exhibit an anomalous phenomenon that the bandgap can be enlarged, i.e., for a structure of width of 16 dimer lines, the bandgap increases from 0.255 eV to the maximum value of 0.40 eV when a vertical bias equates 0.96 V applied. Although the combined effect of two fields does not enlarge the bandgap as found in bilayer zigzag graphene nano-ribbons, it shows that the mutual effect can be useful to reduce faster the bandgap in semiconducting bilayer armchair graphene nano-ribbons. These results are important to fully understand the effects of electric fields on bilayer graphene nano-ribbons (AB stacking) and also suggest appropriate uses of electric gates with different edge orientations.

Beyond the Scare Factory: Aesthetics, Horror, and the Working Class
Creators: name: Macero, Melissa Catherine
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Beyond the Scare Factory: Aesthetics, Horror, and the Working Class takes as its premise the idea that the horror genre has always been understood as a popular genre, significantly oriented toward what critics have often called a working-class audience, and argues that it is not only designed to appeal to the working class but is also crucially about the working class and, more particularly, about the desire to stop being working class. Moreover, just as horror tends to fold its working-class audience into its subject matter, a certain important strain of work in horror also folds the standard critique of the genre —the Adorno-style charge that the products of the culture industry are interested only in producing a litany of effects designed to appeal to an audience—into its understanding of its own form.

description: BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccines are efficacious in patients with inflammatory bowel disease; but there is a lack of data examining if holding immunosuppressive therapy around vaccination improves immune response. We studied the effect of holding IBD medications around the time of vaccination on antibody response and breakthrough COVID-19 infection.
METHODS: Partnership to Report Effectiveness of Vaccination in populations Excluded from iNitial Trials of COVID is a prospective cohort of individuals with IBD receiving COVID-19 vaccination. Quantitative measurement of anti-receptor binding domain IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 was performed 8 weeks after completing a vaccination series.
RESULTS: A total of 1854 patients were included; 59% were on anti-tumour necrosis factor [TNF] [10% of these on combination therapy], 11% on vedolizumab, and 14% on ustekinumab; 11% of participants held therapy before or after vaccine administration for at least 2 weeks. Antibody levels were similar in participants continuing versus holding anti-TNF monotherapy before or after the second vaccine [BNT162b2: 10 μg/mL vs 8.9 μg/mL; mRNA-1273: 17.5 μg/mL vs 14.5 μg/mL]. Comparable results were seen in those on combination therapy. Antibody titres in those on ustekinumab or vedolizumab were higher compared with anti-TNF users, but there was no significant difference if the drug was held or continued [BNT162b2: 22.5 μg/mL vs 23 μg/mL; mRNA-1273: 88 μg/mL vs 51 μg/mL]. Holding therapy was not associated with decreased rate of COVID-19 infection compared with those not holding therapy [BNT162b2: 28% vs 29%; mRNA-1273: 19% vs 31%].
CONCLUSION: We recommend continuing IBD medications while receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccination without interruption.

description: Several sets of radially propagating null congruence generators are exploited in order to form 3-dimensional marginally trapped surfaces, referred to as black hole and cosmological apparent horizons in a Horava universe. Based on this method, we deal with the characteristics of the 2-dimensional space-like spheres of symmetry and the peculiarities of having trapping horizons. Moreover, we apply this method in standard expanding and contracting FLRW cosmological models of a Horava universe to investigate the conditions under which the extra parameters of the theory may lead to trapped/anti-trapped surfaces both in the future and in the past. We also include the cases of negative time, referred to as the finite past, and discuss the formation of anti-trapped surfaces inside the cosmological apparent horizons.

Three Empirical Studies on Technology, Public Policy, and Inequality in the United States
Creators: name: Campbell, Richard Cole
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation is comprised of three essays focusing on the economic measurement of private business wealth and separately, the role and dissemination of broadband internet. In Chapter 1, I study the broad effects of the introduction of fiber broadband, through the lens of student achievement. I implement a difference-in-differences design and find a modest impact on educational outcomes, roughly on par with lowering class sizes by one student. In addition, I show fiber increases local employment and search intensity for supplementary educational materials (e.g., Khan Academy). Last, I show that increased competition from fiber providers drives quality improvements in other available technology. Chapter 2 evaluates the Connect America Fund (CAF): Phase II and its role in expanding broadband access by exploiting discontinuities in subsidy assignment from the CAF to estimate the effect of subsidies on access. I find subsidies to price cap carriers increased access to 10 Mbps/1 Mbps download-upload speed broadband by 4.25 percentage points, however, this effect is local around the least-costly eligible areas. Furthermore, I show that the technology as well as the number of providers in targeted regions are unaffected by these subsidies. The last chapter uses two databases of private business transactions to estimate valuation ratios and aggregate wealth for the four major components of private business wealth: sole proprietorships, partnerships, S corporations, and private C corporations. We estimate aggregate private business wealth of $13.6 trillion in 2017, significantly more than the Financial Accounts estimates but less than the Survey of Consumer Finance.

description: In der vorliegenden Forschungsarbeit mit dem Titel Wahrnehmung, Chancen und Risiken sozialer Kohäsion in der Bevölkerung der Gemeinde Lachen SZ – Eine Forschungsarbeit mit Schlussfolgerungen für die Praxis der Soziokulturellen Animation befasst sich Melanie Jud mit der Frage, wie die Bevölkerung der Gemeinde Lachen im Kanton Schwyz soziale Kohäsion wahrnimmt und welche Chancen und Risiken sozialer Kohäsion in der Gemeinde Lachen bestehen. Die Begriffe soziale Kohäsion und Soziokulturelle Animation werden anhand ausgesuchter Literatur im Theorieteil der Arbeit erklärt. Um die Forschungsfragen zu beantworten, wurden Leitfadeninterviews mit ausgesuchten Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern der Gemeinde Lachen geführt. Mit einem zielgerichteten Sampling und dem Schneeballprinzip wurden Interviewpartnerinnen und -partner festgelegt. Die verschriftlichten Interviews wurden mit einer inhaltlich strukturierenden qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet und die Ergebnisse anschliessend zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfragen interpretiert. Die Resultate zeigen, dass die Bevölkerung von Lachen die soziale Kohäsion als gut und stark empfindet. Verbesserungspotenzial gibt es aufgrund von gewissen Risiken, aber auch Chancen. Die Schlussfolgerungen für die Praxis, die aus der Auswertung der Interviews abgeleitet werden, zeigen mögliche Massnahmen oder Handlungsbedarf für die Soziokultur auf. Unteranderem soll die Offenheit der Bevölkerung von Lachen gegenüber neuzugezogenen Personen gefördert werden, eine trans- oder interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit in der Gemeinde wäre wünschenswert und die Soziokultur muss stets reflektiert bleiben, um sich den immer wieder neuen Rahmenbedingungen flexibel stellen zu können.

description: Vaccines are widely used to fight against COVID-19. However, COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy appears as some individuals are concerned with COVID-19 vaccines. This study investigates the vaccination intention against COVID-19 in China with the Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and theories of risk information assessment. Results showed that the formation mechanism of vaccination intention could be considered a psychological process, as subjective knowledge was a primary influence on correspondents' weighting of both the potentially positive (usefulness) and negative effects (threat) of vaccination. This unequal consideration then resulted in different levels of fear arousal between subjects. Driven by usefulness/threat perception and fear, people conducted different decision strategies, so-called analytical assessment, and experiential assessment to make vaccination decision. In addition to the direct effects of experiential assessment on vaccination intention, two decision strategies and fear arousal also affected people's vaccination intention through the mediation role of vaccination attitude. For policymakers and stakeholders, this study provides a knowledge base for confidence-building, and emotional guidance concerning against COVID-19 vaccination.

Complete spectral energy distribution of the hot, helium-rich white dwarf RX J0503.9-2854

description: In the line-of-sight toward the DO-type white dwarf RX J0503.9-2854, the density of the interstellar medium (ISM) is very low, and thus the contamination of the stellar spectrum almost negligible. This allows us to identify many metal lines in a wide wavelength range from the extreme ultraviolet to the near infrared. In previous spectral analyses, many metal lines in the ultraviolet spectrum of RX J0503.9-2854 have been identified. A complete line list of observed and identified lines is presented here. We compared synthetic spectra that had been calculated from model atmospheres in non-local thermodynamical equilibrium, with observations. In total, we identified 1272 lines (279 of them were newly assigned) in the wavelength range from the extreme ultraviolet to the near infrared. 287 lines remain unidentified. A close inspection of the EUV shows that still no good fit to the observed shape of the stellar continuum flux can be achieved although He, C, N, O, Al, Si, P, S, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cr, Ni Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Kr, Zr, Mo, Sn, Xe, and Ba are included in the stellar atmosphere models. There are two possible reasons for the deviation between observed and synthetic flux in the EUV. Opacities from hitherto unconsidered elements in the model-atmosphere calculation may be missing and/or the effective temperature is slightly lower than previously determined.

Right‐wing authoritarianism and anti‐Asian prejudice in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic in the United States
Creators: name: Womick, Jake

Publisher: name: Wiley
Year: 2023

description: Drawing upon existing theory, the current research tested whether people high on right‐wing authoritarianism were predisposed to endorse prejudice in reaction to anxiety arising from the threat posed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. In Study 1 ( N = 3009), we found that among people high on right‐wing authoritarianism, pandemic anxiety predicted a stronger endorsement of prejudice toward Asian Americans, who had been (inaccurately) associated with the spread of COVID‐19. Preregistered Study 2 ( N = 947) addressed the methodological limitations of Study 1 and replicated these findings at a later period in the pandemic. Implications and future directions are discussed.

description: Carrier and spin recombination are investigated in p-type GaAs of acceptor concentration NA = 1.5 x 10^(17) cm^(-3) using time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy at 15 K. At low pho- tocarrier concentration, acceptors are mostly neutral and photoelectrons can either recombine with holes bound to acceptors (e-A0 line) or form excitons which are mostly trapped on neutral acceptors forming the (A0X) complex. It is found that the spin lifetime is shorter for electrons that recombine through the e-A0 transition due to spin relaxation generated by the exchange scattering of free electrons with either trapped or free holes, whereas spin flip processes are less likely to occur once the electron forms with a free hole an exciton bound to a neutral acceptor. An increase of exci- tation power induces a cross-over to a regime where the bimolecular band-to-band (b-b) emission becomes more favorable due to screening of the electron-hole Coulomb interaction and ionization of excitonic complexes and free excitons. Then, the formation of excitons is no longer possible, the carrier recombination lifetime increases and the spin lifetime is found to decrease dramatically with concentration due to fast spin relaxation with free photoholes. In this high density regime, both the electrons that recombine through the e-A0 transition and through the b-b transition have the same spin relaxation time.

description: We study gender differences in changes in labor market dynamics before the pandemic and during the COVID-19 pandemic in four Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries: Brazil, Chile, Dominican Republic, and Mexico. Specifically, we look at differences in labor market states and at differences in the transitions of workers across labor market states. To identify the pandemic's impact, we compare labor market stocks and labor market flows for a number of balanced panels of workers during the pandemic and before the pandemic. We find that the pandemic has negatively affected employment and labor market participation of both men and women, but that the effect is significantly stronger for women, magnifying the already large gender gaps observed in LAC countries. The main channel generating this stronger impact is the increase in child care work performed by women with school-age children.

description: The Memento protocol provides a uniform approach to query individual web archives. Soon after its emergence, Memento Aggregator infrastructure was introduced that supports querying across multiple archives simultaneously. An Aggregator generates a response by issuing the respective Memento request against each of the distributed archives it covers. As the number of archives grows, it becomes increasingly challenging to deliver aggregate responses while keeping response times and computational costs under control. Ad-hoc heuristic approaches have been introduced to address this challenge and research has been conducted aimed at optimizing query routing based on archive profiles. In this paper, we explore the use of binary, archive-specific classifiers generated on the basis of the content cached by an Aggregator, to determine whether or not to query an archive for a given URI. Our results turn out to be readily applicable and can help to significantly decrease both the number of requests and the overall response times without compromising on recall. We find, among others, that classifiers can reduce the average number of requests by 77% compared to a brute force approach on all archives, and the overall response time by 42% while maintaining a recall of 0.847.

description: By considering an optically denser medium with a flat surface, but with natural roughness instead of abstract geometrical boundary which leads to mathematical discontinuity on the boundary of two adjacent stratified media, we have thus established the importance of considering physical surfaces; and thus we studied the Goos-Hänchen (GH) effect by ray-optics description to shed light on parts of this effect which have remained ambiguous. We replaced the very thin region of surface roughness by a continuous inhomogeneous intermediary medium. Applying Fermat's principle for the incident light ray, few fundamental questions about GH shift are more convincingly addressed which are in excellent agreement, even with the most details of the experimental results.

description: We report on the evidence for the multiband electronic transport in $α$-YbAlB$_{4}$ and $α$-Yb$_{0.81(2)}$Sr$_{0.19(3)}$AlB$_{4}$. Multiband transport reveals itself below 10 K in both compounds via Hall effect measurements, whereas anisotropic magnetic ground state sets in below 3 K in $α$-Yb$_{0.81(2)}$Sr$_{0.19(3)}$AlB$_{4}$. Our results show that Sr$^{2+}$ substitution enhances conductivity, but does not change the quasiparticle mass of bands induced by heavy fermion hybridization.

Rebuilding Narratives: The Role of Urban Planning in Post-War Ukraine
Creators: name: Dulko, Ievgeniia
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Reflecting on the first year after the invasion in 2022, this thesis aims to present the challenges and opportunities of the current reconstruction process in Ukraine. The ongoing full-scale war and significant destruction of the built environment challenged planning and rebuilding efforts. However, the post-war reconstruction of Ukrainian cities started almost immediately after the first bombardments and continued to evolve in 2023. By analyzing the current level of planning expertise and access to decision-making, the study maps the rebuilding actors' landscape and suggests actors' typology. The focus on Ukrainian design professionals such as architects, planners, and urban designers is determined by the unique position of emerging local planning practice, which has simultaneously high spatial development knowledge and gained social trust. This thesis argues that democratic, inclusive, and integrated urban planning practice (together with practitioners) should play a vital role in the post-war physical reconstruction of Ukrainian cities, bringing emerging planners to lead the renovation process. The transition from the Soviet top-down and highly centralized city-building doctrine to democratic spatial planning characterized Ukraine's last decade of professional field development. However, Ukraine's design community faces many obstacles to implementing its efforts. Suggested meta-narratives and design community narratives present an evolving competition of values in Ukrainian society and the continuous dialogue about post-war reconstruction priorities. Adopting a mixed methods approach, the primary data for the study was collected through a series of semi-structured in-depth interviews with Ukrainian reconstruction process insiders. The thematic narrative analysis conducted within this thesis highlighted the gaps in Ukraine's current state of reconstruction.

description: Letter from Johnny Cash to Saul Holiff about Holiff taking concerns and complaints about Cash to June Carter. Tells Holiff he has heard false rumours about Cash making deals with other agents and criticizing him behind his back. Cash also seems to allude to the end of their professional relationship: "If I have any criticism of yourself as a man or promoter or manager you'd be the first to know. In return I ask that through some medium of communication you cry on my shoulder instead of June's. I want to work with you in finalizing and exploiting these last months' business that is facing us."
The optical counterpart to the Be/X-ray binary SAX J2239.3+6116

description: The main goal of this work is to perform a detailed study of the optical variability of the Be/X-ray binary SAX J2239.3+6116. We obtained multi-colour BVRI photometry and polarimetry and 4000-7000 A spectroscopy. The optical counterpart to SAX J2239.3+6116 is a V=14.8 B0Ve star located at a distance of ~4.9 kpc. The interstellar reddening in the direction of the source is E(B-V)=1.70 mag. The monitoring of the Halpha line reveals a slow long-term decline of its equivalent width since 2001. The line profile is characterized by a stable double-peak profile with no indication of large-scale distortions. Although somewhat higher than predicted by the models, the optical polarization is consistent with electron scattering in the circumstellar disk. We attribute the long-term decrease in the intensity of the Halpha line to the dissipation of the circumstellar disk of the Be star. The longer variability timescales observed in SAX J2239.3+6116 compared to other Be/X-ray binaries may be explained by the wide orbit of the system.

Calvarial Characterization of Dicer-Deficient under Sost Promotor Mouse Model
Creators: name: Sung, Youngjae
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: This study aims to evaluate the roles of mature miRNAs in osteocytes of calvarial bones. The skulls of transgenic Dicer deficiency driven under Sost (Dicer/Sost KO) mice were compared to the age and sex-matched control mice (Dicer floxed and Sostcre). We speculate that mature microRNAs play critical roles in osteocytes during calvarial bone formation. Methods: Mouse skulls of each genotype (n=8 per genotype: Sost-cre, Dicer floxed, Dicer/Sost KO) were subjected to microcomputed tomography (microCT), histomorphological analysis, and skull variation analysis to evaluate macro and microanatomical phenotypes. Statistical analysis was performed at a significance level of 0.05. The preliminary results demonstrated the differences in gross phenotypes between the transgenic Dicer deficient mice and their controls.

description: BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted global health supply chains including manufacturing, storage, and delivery of essential medicines, testing kits, personal protective equipment, and laboratory reagents. We sought to document how pandemic impacted the procurement, prices, and supply chain of medical products in Zimbabwe.
METHODS: We conducted semistructured in-depth key informant interviews with 36 health system stakeholders in Zimbabwe involved in medicine procurement. Respondents included pharmacists, regulatory officers, and procurement and supply chain management professionals from public and private sectors.
RESULTS: Before the COVID-19 pandemic, respondents described experiencing long-standing resource constraints, medicine shortages, foreign currency shortages, and supply chain inefficiencies. The pandemic exacerbated this situation due to supply constraints, export restrictions, medicine shortages, and movement restrictions that disrupted logistical and stock management systems. Competitive bidding and tendering processes experienced reduced participation by international suppliers. Significant price increases were initially observed among internationally shipped medicines and for personal protective equipment to cover additional freight costs. COVID-19 pandemic impacts were moderated by reduced patient demand and lower health services utilization, resulting in fewer supply shocks and less price volatility. Further, health system adaptations such as switching treatment regimens, modifying dispensing schedules based on stock availability, redistributing stock of medicines among facilities, and new service delivery models such as integrated outreach services helped ensure continued patient access to medicines.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight the need for policies that ensure continuity in access to health services and medical products, even during a pandemic, by avoiding blanket restrictions on medical product exports and imports. Pooled procurement, especially at regional and global levels, with long-term service agreements may help achieve greater resiliency to supply and price shocks from supply chain disruptions. Interventions across manufacturing, trade, and regulatory policy and service delivery models are also needed for supply chain resiliency.
