Mitigation of Impact of HIV/AIDS in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo
Creators: name: Goossens-Allen, Tania
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: The goal of the "Mitigation of Impact of HIV/AIDS in Kinshasa" project is to preserve the human dignity and quality of life of individuals affected by HIV/AIDS, their families and their communities. The project, which began in 2001, is implemented by Femme Plus, a Congolese non-governmental organization, with the support of Trocaire and Catholic Relief Services (CRS). More specifically, the objectives of the project are to reduce the risk of HIV transmission through information and counseling of at least 5,000 People Living with HIV (PLHIV) and their families and to alleviate the socio-economic impact of HIV/AIDS. The project is implemented through five centers and community networks. Centers provide psychosocial support, income-generating activities, medical care and payment of school fees for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC). HIV awareness sessions are organized in markets and health centers, while two Femme Plus centers provide Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT). The purpose of this evaluation has been to assess the effectiveness of the project in meeting its goal and objectives. The evaluation also looks at the operation and management of the project, its relevance in view of community needs and national policy and its sustainability. The evaluator conducted interviews and focus group discussions with Femme Plus management, staff, volunteers and partner organizations and conducted home visits to Femme Plus-selected beneficiaries. A total of 53 persons participated in the evaluation.
Full-Field Digital Mammography for Breast Cancer Screening: An Example of Evidence, Lost in Translation
Creators: name: Cowherd, Stacy Mclellan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Screening mammography is the gold standard for early breast cancer detection and a cornerstone of preventive medicine. Traditional mammography is currently being replaced by newer, more eloquent digital technology. Clinical trials have not proven that digital mammography reduces breast cancer mortality or burden of suffering. Nevertheless, the technology has spread according to Everett Roger's Diffusion of Innovation pattern. The purpose of this Master's Paper is closely to examine the process by which breast cancer screening in the United States has evolved from screen film mammography to full-field digital mammography. This is a qualitative, iterative analysis that triangulates analyses of the medical literature, elite interview responses, and media coverage to cultivate a storyline about the development and dissemination of digital mammography. The technology has spread because of our national hunger for computers and innovation, our eagerness to support the war on cancer, public perceptions about the technology's theoretical advantages, and ongoing efforts of advocacy groups to maintain health care equality. Although digital mammography is significantly more expensive than is screen film mammography, cost-effectiveness considerations have been deferred by many health care leaders. Regulating technologies such as digital mammography, which are extremely expensive but do not confer better public health outcomes, is a necessary component of fixing our health care system.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Cooperation strategies allow communication devices to work together to improve network capacity. Consider a network consisting of a $k$-user multiple access channel (MAC) and a node that is connected to all $k$ encoders via rate-limited bidirectional links, referred to as the "cooperation facilitator" (CF). Define the cooperation benefit as the sum-capacity gain resulting from the communication between the encoders and the CF and the cooperation rate as the total rate the CF shares with the encoders. This work demonstrates the existence of a class of $k$-user MACs where the ratio of the cooperation benefit to cooperation rate tends to infinity as the cooperation rate tends to zero. Examples of channels in this class include the binary erasure MAC for $k=2$ and the $k$-user Gaussian MAC for any $k\geq 2$.

Public Health's Role in Promoting Literacy to Help Children Become Healthy, Successful Adults
Creators: name: Kenney, Nancy Brittain
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Literacy and health are closely connected. Literacy impacts health directly by enabling people to better read and interpret health information, a term we have come to call "health literacy". Literacy also impacts health indirectly by affecting one's educational attainment, job opportunities, and other social determinants of health. Every day, we are learning more and more about the role that early literacy skills and school readiness play in childhood development and how these skills impact the rest of one's life. This paper will discuss literacy's direct and indirect impacts on health and explore whether the field of public health, with its focus on disease prevention and health promotion, should put more energy into promoting early literacy, with an emphasis on community literacy and school-readiness programs. It will also provide information about current literacy initiatives, with public health sector involvement, that set a precedence for additional programming. Specifically, it will analyze the specialized role local health departments can play in promoting early literacy because of their access to low-income populations, local leadership and partnerships, and experience in addressing health disparities. It is this paper's position that health departments are especially equipped to be local leaders in early literacy promotion and through this work reduce health disparities that are a result of poor literacy.

description: Weight bias has been documented among health professionals. Since this is still an emerging area of research, it is unclear what kind of information is available in literature about weight bias presence among health students, it’s influences, and whether weight bias within a student setting translates to professional practice. We intend to conduct a scoping review to systematically map the current research regarding weight bias among health students, characterize the influencing factors and implications for care as future health professionals, as well as identify gaps in the research.

The Shape of Saturn's Huygens Ringlet Viewed by Cassini ISS
Creators: name: Spitale, Joseph N.
name: Hahn, Joseph M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new model for the shape of the prominent eccentric ringlet in the gap exterior to Saturn's B-ring is developed based on Cassini imaging observations taken over about 8 years. Unlike previous treatments, the new model treats each edge of the ringlet separately. The Keplerian component of the model is consistent with results derived from Voyager observations, and $m=2$ modes forced by the nearby Mimas 2:1 Lindblad resonance are seen. Additionally, a free $m=2$ mode is seen on the outer edge of the ringlet. Significant irregular structure that cannot be described using normal-mode analysis is seen on the ringlet edges as well. Particularly on the inner edge, that structure remains coherent over multi-year intervals, moving at the local Keplerian rate. We interpret the irregular structure as the signature of embedded massive bodies. The long coherence time suggests the responsible bodies are concentrated near the edge of the ringlet. Long wake-like structures originate from two locations on the inner edge of the ringlet, revealing the locations of the two most massive embedded bodies in that region. As with the Voyager observations, the Cassini data sets showed no correlation between the width and the radius of the ringlet as would be expected for a self-gravitating configuration, except for a brief interval during late 2006, when the width-radius relation was similar to those seen in most other narrow eccentric ringlets in the Solar System.

Improved Survival in Heart Failure Associated with Aspirin Alone or in Combination with ACE Inhibition: An Observational Study
Creators: name: Das, Sandeep R., M.D.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Background: The appropriate role of aspirin in heart failure is controversial. Retrospective analyses have suggested the use of aspirin may attenuate the benefit seen with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) therapy. This study investigates the relationship between aspirin use and survival in the UNC Heart Failure Database. This cohort has substantially greater representation of women (32%), African-Americans (44%), and patients with heart failure of a non-ischemic etiology (68%) than previously examined populations. Methods: Data from 872 patients with symptomatic heart failure (HF) and systolic dysfunction were reviewed. These patients were enrolled in the UNC Heart Failure Database from 1984 through 1999, and were followed for a mean of 3.7 years. Data on vital status, available in 96% of patients, revealed 392 deaths. The Cox proportional-hazards regression method was used to determine the relationship of baseline characteristics to all-cause mortality. Results: Multivariate, adjusted survival analysis indicated aspirin use at baseline was associated with a significant reduction in all-cause mortality, with a hazard ratio (HR) for aspirin use of 0.71 (95% CI 0.55-0.92). In patients taking ACEI at baseline, the HR for aspirin use was 0.76 (0.57-1.01) compared to a HR of 0.61 (0.31-1.19) for those not taking ACEI. In patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) as their primary HF etiology, the HR for aspirin use was 0.65 (0.46-0.94) compared to a HR of0.93 (0.64-1.34) for those with a primary HF etiology other than IHD. Conclusion: Aspirin use at baseline in patients with symptomatic heart failure was independently associated with reduced all-cause mortality.

The Modified Affective Misattribution Paradigm for Social Judgment
Creators: name: Feldman, Mallory
name: Gogineni, Sree
name: Lindquist, Kristen
Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: Affective feelings exert a powerful influence on behavior and judgment, even when the eliciting source is unrelated to the decision at hand. This effect, called Affective Realism, can be modulated based on state (within-subject) or trait (between-subject) differences -- making it an interesting dependent variable for scientific study. In the present studies, we evaluate a modified version of the well-validated Affective Misattribution Procedure (AMP; Payne et al 2005; Payne & Lundberg, 2014) and test whether this modified task is sensitive to different task manipulations and individual differences.

Universal Bethe ansatz solution for the Temperley-Lieb spin chain

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: We consider the Temperley-Lieb (TL) open quantum spin chain with "free" boundary conditions associated with the spin-$s$ representation of quantum-deformed $sl(2)$. We construct the transfer matrix, and determine its eigenvalues and the corresponding Bethe equations using analytical Bethe ansatz. We show that the transfer matrix has quantum group symmetry, and we propose explicit formulas for the number of solutions of the Bethe equations and the degeneracies of the transfer-matrix eigenvalues. We propose an algebraic Bethe ansatz construction of the off-shell Bethe states, and we conjecture that the on-shell Bethe states are highest-weight states of the quantum group. We also propose a determinant formula for the scalar product between an off-shell Bethe state and its on-shell dual, as well as for the square of the norm. We find that all of these results, except for the degeneracies and a constant factor in the scalar product, are universal in the sense that they do not depend on the value of the spin. In an appendix, we briefly consider the closed TL spin chain with periodic boundary conditions, and show how a previously-proposed solution can be improved so as to obtain the complete (albeit non-universal) spectrum.

Dark photons from charm mesons at LHCb

description: We propose a search for dark photons $A^{\prime}$ at the LHCb experiment using the charm meson decay $D^*(2007)^0 \!\to D^0 A^{\prime}$. At nominal luminosity, $D^{*0} \!\to D^0 γ$ decays will be produced at about 700kHz within the LHCb acceptance, yielding over 5 trillion such decays during Run 3 of the LHC. Replacing the photon with a kinetically-mixed dark photon, LHCb is then sensitive to dark photons that decay as $A^{\prime}\!\to e^+e^-$. We pursue two search strategies in this paper. The displaced strategy takes advantage of the large Lorentz boost of the dark photon and the excellent vertex resolution of LHCb, yielding a nearly background-free search when the $A^{\prime}$ decay vertex is significantly displaced from the proton-proton primary vertex. The resonant strategy takes advantage of the large event rate for $D^{*0} \!\to D^0 A^{\prime}$ and the excellent invariant mass resolution of LHCb, yielding a background-limited search that nevertheless covers a significant portion of the $A^{\prime}$ parameter space. Both search strategies rely on the planned upgrade to a triggerless-readout system at LHCb in Run 3, which will permit identification of low-momentum electron-positron pairs online during data taking. For dark photon masses below about 100MeV, LHCb can explore nearly all of the dark photon parameter space between existing prompt-$A^{\prime}$ and beam-dump limits.

description: We present a broad-band (~0.3-70 keV) spectral and temporal analysis of NuSTAR observations of the luminous infrared galaxy NGC 6240, combined with archival Chandra, XMM-Newton and BeppoSAX data. NGC 6240 is a galaxy in a relatively early merger state with two distinct nuclei separated by ~1."5. Previous Chandra observations have resolved the two nuclei, showing that they are both active and obscured by Compton-thick material. Although they cannot be resolved by NuSTAR, thanks to the unprecedented quality of the NuSTAR data at energies >10 keV, we clearly detect, for the first time, both the primary and the reflection continuum components. The NuSTAR hard X-ray spectrum is dominated by the primary continuum piercing through an absorbing column density which is mildly optically thick to Compton scattering (tau ~ 1.2, N_H ~ 1.5 x 10^(24) cm^-2). We detect moderate hard X-ray (> 10 keV) flux variability up to 20% on short (15-20 ksec) timescales. The amplitude of the variability is maximum at ~30 keV and is likely to originate from the primary continuum of the southern nucleus. Nevertheless, the mean hard X-ray flux on longer timescales (years) is relatively constant. Moreover, the two nuclei remain Compton-thick, although we find evidence of variability of the material along the line of sight with column densities N_H

description: Non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI) involved in neutrino propagation inside Earth matter could potentially alter atmospheric neutrino fluxes. In this work, we look at the impact of these NSI on the signal at the ICAL detector to be built at the India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO). We show how the sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy of ICAL changes in the presence of NSI. The mass hierarchy sensitivity is shown to be rather sensitive to the NSI parameters $ε_{eμ}$ and $ε_{eτ}$, while the dependence on $ε_{μτ}$ and $ε_{ττ}$ is seen to be very mild, once the $χ^2$ is marginalised over oscillation and NSI parameters. If the NSI are large enough, the event spectrum at ICAL is expected to be altered and this can be used to discover new physics. We calculate the lower limit on NSI parameters above which ICAL could discover NSI at a given C.L. from 10 years of data. If NSI were too small, the null signal at ICAL can constrain the NSI parameters. We give upper limits on the NSI parameters at any given C.L. that one is expected to put from 10 years of running of ICAL. Finally, we give C.L. contours in the NSI parameter space that is expected to be still allowed from 10 years of running of the experiment.

description: This study examines all four social cognitive domains (i.e., theory of mind, social perception, affective empathy, and social behavior) in a large adult lifespan sample. We also examine the role of broader cognitive function in age-related social cognitive change, and the potential relationships between each of the social cognitive domains and indices of well-being.
Evaluation of Vermont School Wellness Policies

description: Obesity among youth is a complicated public health and education challenge in Vermont and across the United States. In addition to detrimental health consequences, youth obesity negatively impacts quality of life and learning potential. School-based child wellness practices, including healthful eating and physical activity, have great potential to maximize academic success. To support positive change and to address the problem of child obesity, federal and Vermont state legislation require that schools adopt and implement a School Wellness Policy (SWP) that dictates a healthy learning environment for students. This study was designed to evaluate the quality of SWPs from a geographically stratified sample of 25 Vermont high schools. The Wellness School Assessment Tool (WellSAT) was used to measure and compare the comprehensiveness and strength of SWPs. The mean score for overall comprehensiveness of SWPs is 30.8 and the mean score for overall strength is 15.7 for the 25 Vermont high schools in this sample. These scores fall much below the highest possible score of 100 points. Among the schools in this sample, policies scored more points for items related to Standards for USDA Child Nutrition Programs and School Meals, and for items related to policy evaluation. Schools serving a larger proportion of students living in poverty have higher quality SWPs than schools with fewer students living in poverty. Schools serving only students in grades nine-12 have lower quality polices than schools serving a broader grade-level distribution of students. The findings suggest that Vermont SWPs may be weaker than those from a national sample, although differences in sampling and other study design characteristics may contribute to this disparity. Based on these findings, it is suggested that Vermont schools may benefit from state agency, and community-based organization supports to address child obesity and improve learning. In the long term, a continuous improvement framework for school wellness, with periodic policy assessment at multiple points is recommended. Finally, future research studies are proposed, including replication of this type of study for the full range of grades in Vermont, as well as further research on the use of the WellSAT.

Bacterial Contamination of Platelets: A Review of the Policy Making Process

description: On March 1, 2004, the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) initiated a new standard that required all blood banks to have methods in place that limit and detect bacterial contamination in platelet components. However, the road to achieve this standard was neither quick nor easy. Over the last 15 years, there have been numerous governmental meetings and workshops devoted to the topic of platelet bacterial contamination, however, none of these ever produce a resolution or mandate to reduce the risk. In contrast to the mandates for most viral or newly emerging agents, the push for policy on the issue of bacterial contamination of platelet products has come from within the blood banking community.

description: Purpose of Project: The purpose of this project was to reduce WPV in an adult ambulatory care clinic by increasing staff awareness of WPV and providing education on methods to mitigate WPV-associated risks. Methodology: A WPV prevention educational training was implemented at an adult ambulatory care clinic in central New Jersey. Two weeks after the training, a post-intervention survey using 10 questions from the Confidence to Cope with Patient Aggression Instrument (CCPAI) as well as five additional knowledge assessment questions was used to gauge its impact. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the findings. Results: Twenty-one employees attended the WPV training program. Analysis of the results for the 10 CCPAI- related questions found the mean response to be 78, with the lowest score being 30. The average score for this assessment typically ranges from 66 to 88. A total of five knowledge assessment questions in multiple choice form were included in the post-assessment survey. Results indicated a gap in knowledge, and a need for further WPV-related teaching. Implications for Practice: WPV prevention training can be implemented in the adult ambulatory care setting to improve staff's confidence and competence in handling aggressive patients, family members or visitors. Research suggests that solutions to prevent workplace violence should be developed and include clinical practice, policy, quality and safety, education, and economic considerations.

description: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in the world, while musculoskeletal diseases result in greater morbidity and disability. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 17.9 million people died from cardiovascular disease in 2019, representing 32% of all global deaths; of which more than three-quarters occurred in low- and middle-income countries. In Brazil, cardiovascular diseases account for one third of all deaths. However, cardiovascular rehabilitation with an emphasis on physical exercises reduces cardiovascular and global morbidity and mortality, hospitalization rate and exponential gain in quality of life. In individuals undergoing a cardiovascular rehabilitation program, musculoskeletal diseases are common. The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders is high in the general population and particularly prevalent in patients with coronary artery disease. However, no review has estimated the prevalence of musculoskeletal limitations and association with cardiovascular risk factors for patients enrolled in a cardiovascular rehabilitation program.
