description: This paper presents a general equilibrium analysis of economic efficiency under externalities, transaction costs and non-convexity. It applies to market exchange as well as contractual arrangements. We show that the Coase theorem continues to hold under general conditions: the efficient management of externalities remains consistent with aggregate profit maximization under transaction costs and non-convexity. We examine the role of transaction costs and explore how the minimization of transaction costs is an integral part of efficient allocations. We also show how our analysis applies under non-convex technology, provided that we allow for non-linear pricing in markets.

description: This thesis is presenting a method for generating short musical phrases using a deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN). To train neural network were used datasets of classical and jazz music MIDI recordings. Our approach introduces translating the MIDI data into graphical images in a piano roll format suitable for the network input size, using the RGB channels as additional information carriers for improved performance. The network has learned to generate images that are indistinguishable from the input data and, when translated back to MIDI and played back, include several musically interesting rhythmic and harmonic structures. The results of the conducted experiments are described and discussed, with conclusions for further work and a short comparison with selected existing solutions.

description: Static and dynamic behavior of short-range Ising-spin glass Cu$_{0.5}$Co$_{0.5}$Cl$_{2}$-FeCl$_{3}$ graphite bi-intercalation compounds (GBIC) has been studied with SQUID DC and AC magnetic susceptibility. The $T$ dependence of the zero-field relaxation time $τ$ above a spin-freezing temperature $T_{g}$ (= 3.92 $\pm$ 0.11 K) is well described by critical slowing down. The absorption $χ^{\prime\prime}$ below $T_{g}$ decreases with increasing angular frequency $ω$, which is in contrast to the case of 3D Ising spin glass. The dynamic freezing temperature $T_{f}(H,ω)$ at which d$M_{FC}(T,H)/$d$H=χ^{\prime}(T,H=0,ω)$, is determined as a function of frequency (0.01 Hz $\leq ω/2π\leq$ 1 kHz) and magnetic field (0 $\leq H \leq$ 5 kOe). The dynamic scaling analysis of the relaxation time $τ(T,H)$ defined as $τ= 1/ω$ at $T = T_{f}(H,ω)$ suggests the absence of SG phase in the presence of $H$ (at least above 100 Oe). Dynamic scaling analysis of $χ^{\prime \prime}(T, ω)$ and $τ(T,H)$ near $T_{g}$ leads to the critical exponents ($β$ = 0.36 $\pm$ 0.03, $γ$ = 3.5 $\pm$ 0.4, $ν$ = 1.4 $\pm$ 0.2, $z$ = 6.6 $\pm$ 1.2, $ψ$ = 0.24 $\pm$ 0.02, and $θ$ = 0.13 $\pm$ 0.02). The aging phenomenon is studied through the absorption $χ^{\prime \prime}(ω, t)$ below $T_{g}$. It obeys a $(ωt)^{-b^{\prime \prime}}$ power-law decay with an exponent $b^{\prime \prime}\approx 0.15 - 0.2$. The rejuvenation effect is also observed under sufficiently large (temperature and magnetic-field) perturbations.

A Resource to Guide Clinicians for Patients with Severe Mental Illness and Anosognosia:  Anosognosia Mental Illness Screening and intervention Strategies (AMISS) Toolkit ©
Creators: name: Bardina, Jessica
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Background: An alarming percentage of individuals with severe mental illness lack insight or awareness of their disorders, a symptom known as anosognosia. Due to the obscurity of the symptom of anosognosia, clinicians may misinterpret patients’ thoughts about their diagnosis as being in denial rather than an extension of their disorder, a lack of insight. Misidentifying or inappropriately addressing this key symptom can lead to poor mental health and psychosocial outcomes.
Purpose: The aim of this Integrative Review (IR) was to garner the best evidence to develop a Toolkit and a presentation to educate clinicians about anosognosia in mental illness, including screening tools for the symptom, and interventions for practice.
Methods: A multi-tier IR of the literature was completed to include systematic reviews, highly graded investigations, and expert opinions. A secondary search on Google was used to find public, governmental, commercial, and academic resources.
Results: Highly rated evidence was used to create the Anosognosia, Mental Illness Screening & intervention Strategies (AMISS) Toolkit©, including a Practice Algorithm©, two screening tools, two therapeutic modalities, and additional resources. The oral presentation about Anosognosia and the contents of the AMISS Toolkit significantly increased the awareness and knowledge of the clinicians in regard to screening and intervening for anosognosia in their patients with serious mental illness who lack insight into their disorders. With their feedback, the AMISS Toolkit was modified, and an electronic version was left as a sustainable At-A-Glance resource.
Conclusion: A Toolkit (with presentation) is an ideal way to educate clinicians about a disorder and to share resources. The AMISS Toolkit can serve as a resource for clinicians who are not experts in complex mental health disorders of their patients.

description: Knowledge bases (KBs) about notable entities and their properties are an important asset in applications such as search, question answering and dialogue. All popular KBs capture virtually only positive statements, and abstain from taking any stance on statements not stored in the KB. This paper makes the case for explicitly stating salient statements that do not hold. Negative statements are useful to overcome limitations of question answering systems that are mainly geared for positive questions; they can also contribute to informative summaries of entities. Due to the abundance of such invalid statements, any effort to compile them needs to address ranking by saliency. We present a statisticalinference method for compiling and ranking negative statements, based on expectations from positive statements of related entities in peer groups. Experimental results, with a variety of datasets, show that the method can effectively discover notable negative statements, and extrinsic studies underline their usefulness for entity summarization. Datasets and code are released as resources for further research.

description: We elicit time-discounting behavior from U.S. farmers that are broadly known to be either late or early adopters of farming best management practices. Using a single-choice experiment, we estimate the mean discount rate for each farmer group and find that late adopters have a mean discount rate that is thirteen percentage points higher than the mean rate of early adopters. We argue through simulations that this difference is likely due to differences in time preference rather than risk aversion.

description: An abundance analysis for the carbon-enhanced, extremely iron-poor ([Fe/H] -3.5) star CS29498-043 has been obtained using new high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra from the Subaru Telescope. The [O I] forbidden line at 6300A and the O I triplet feature at 7771-7776A are both clearly detected. The overabundance of oxygen is significant ([O/Fe]>2). In addition, Na, Co, and Ni abundances have been newly measured. The abundance pattern from C to Ni of this object is quite similar to that of CS 22949--037, another extremely metal-poor star with large excesses of C, N, O, and the alpha-elements. The abundance patterns of these two stars suggest the existence of supernovae progenitors that ejected relatively little material fromtheir iron cores during the very early era of nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy. Themetallicity in these objects, when one includes the elements C, N, and O in the tally of total metals, is not as low as in the most metal-poor stars, suggesting the existence of quite different formation processes for these iron-deficient objects than pertain to the bulk of other metal-deficient stars.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: This study estimates price determinants for specialty green coffee auctions using records from the 2004-2010 Cup of Excellence programs hosted by the Alliance for Coffee Excellence. While most recent literature on coffee has focused on certifications and sustainability labels, the discussion of price determinants has been limited in the literature. This paper replicates one of the first publications on price determinants (Donnet, et al., 2008) and formulates a new model to more accurately describe the market. We include the necessary additional variables and estimate the model using a truncated maximum likelihood estimation technique. While sensory quality has a strong effect on price, the highest premiums stem from obtaining a top rank compared to other coffees from the same country, and North American buyers are more responsive to sensory quality than buyers in Asian and European markets.

description: Use of soil amendments, including organic materials and mineral fertilizers, is highly recommended for the replenishment of soil nutrients, improved soil health and more efficient use of fertilizers in sub-Saharan Africa. Along with other constraints, underdeveloped markets are often cited as a reason for limited uptake of recommended practices. Recognizing the potential interrelationship among practices, we estimate seemingly-unrelated, multivariate probit models to identify the factors that determine use of inorganic fertilizer, other soil amendments, and practices to control erosion by smallholder farmers in Kenya. We then estimate demand for the most common soil nutrients (N and P). We find that, consistent with theory, farmers are price-responsive and remoteness depresses demand for mineral fertilizers. Knowledge and plot tenure have a strong influence on use of soil fertility management practices. Sex of household head affects use of soil fertility management practices only in maize production, and particularly in use of N and P. Decisions to use different categories of soil fertility management practices are correlated.

description: We introduce a transformation for converting a series in a parameter, λ, to a series in the inverse of the parameter λ^{-1}. By applying the transform on simple examples, it becomes apparent that there exist relations between convergent and divergent series, and also between large- and small-coupling expansions. The method is also applied to the divergent series expansion of Euler-Heisenberg-Schwinger result for the one-loop effective action for constant background magnetic (or electric) field. The transform may help us gain some insight about the nature of both divergent (Borel or non-Borel summable series) and convergent series and their relationship, and how both could be used for analytical and numerical calculations.

Considering Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder as a Differential Diagnosis in the Psychiatric Population  An Educational Intervention Project
Creators: name: McNulty, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Background:The assessment and treatment of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) in the female population is an important issue to be examined. Upward to thirty percent of all females’ report symptoms of moderate to severe PMDD. Proper assessment, identification and treatment of PMDD as a differential diagnosis by healthcare providers is essential for the effective treatment PMDD.
Purpose:To provide evidenced based education to mental health professionals for the assessment and treatment of PMDD in order to help improve the quality of life for patient’s living with this disorder.
Methods: The PMDD education intervention took place at a inpatient psychiatric unit from October 2019 to April 2020 to a multidisciplinary team consisting of psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, mental health counselors, and social workersduring a Grand Rounds presentation at a state-run psychiatric facility in the Northeast.The participants completed a Likert survey that assessed the effectiveness of the presentation and the participant’s attitudes towards the treatment of PMDD.
Results: Post intervention, participants reported improved knowledge regarding assessment and evidence based modalities for the treatment of PMDD
Conclusion:  Ongoing education about PMDD of psychiatric professionals will improve health outcomes for patients with PMDD

subject: benefits analysis

description: The value of statistical life (VSL) is one of the most scrutinized and controversial parameters estimated by environmental economists (Cameron 2009, Viscusi 2010), largely due to the wide use of VSL estimates to value the mortality risk benefits of regulations that affect public health and safety (OMB 2011, Robinson and Hammitt 2010). The hedonic wage method has been a primary source of VSL estimates for use in applied benefit‐cost analysis and there have been several meta‐analyses of these studies, including examinations of publication bias. We build on the existing literature by focusing on the coefficient on fatal risk rather than the VSL itself. This allows for larger sample sizes and reflects more recent methods that provide a cleaner test for bias. Results suggest that publication bias is present in the full sample of hedonic wage VSL estimates and that correcting for this by using those observations with the most precise estimates results in lower mean VSL estimates.

description: This study empirically examines the effects of farm organization (separation of ownership and control) on farmer effort and farm success using a structural equation model and data from the 2005-2010 Agriculture Management Resource Survey. Contrary to expectations of existing theory, the results show that larger separated ownership and control farms have a higher probability of farm success, and their operators supply more labor effort than combined ownership and control farms. The results seem consistent even with greater exogenous uncertainty, or more asymmetric information. The implications are that current theoretical literature on farm organization and evolution was not validated using this method and data set and may need to be modified.

This paper looks at the approach being used within the EURACE project to exploit parallel computing technology in large-scale agent-based simulations involving millions of agents. The underlying software is the FLAME framework and the paper will give an overview of features and use of FLAME and discuss the implementation of techniques that attempt to exploit large parallel computing systems. Some early simulation results will be presented together with a discussion of the requirements for efficient parallel simulations and the performance of the current implementation.

description: The rapidly decreasing computation and memory cost has recently driven the success of many applications in the field of deep learning. Practical applications of deep learning in resource-limited hardware, such as embedded devices and smart phones, however, remain challenging. For binary convolutional networks, the reason lies in the degraded representation caused by binarizing full-precision filters. To address this problem, we propose new circulant filters (CiFs) and a circulant binary convolution (CBConv) to enhance the capacity of binarized convolutional features via our circulant back propagation (CBP). The CiFs can be easily incorporated into existing deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs), which leads to new Circulant Binary Convolutional Networks (CBCNs). Extensive experiments confirm that the performance gap between the 1-bit and full-precision DCNNs is minimized by increasing the filter diversity, which further increases the representational ability in our networks. Our experiments on ImageNet show that CBCNs achieve 61.4% top-1 accuracy with ResNet18. Compared to the state-of-the-art such as XNOR, CBCNs can achieve up to 10% higher top-1 accuracy with more powerful representational ability.

School-Based Suicide Awareness and Prevention Education for Licensed School Personnel
Creators: name: Moylan, Alexandra
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Background: The numbers of youth at risk for attempting, contemplating, or completing suicide is a significant concern in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  The Commonwealth has recognized the vital role that school personnel have in suicide prevention, yet training is not mandated due to a lack of funding. Though limited, evidence from the literature written to date has demonstrated improved outcome measures when suicide awareness and prevention training is implemented.  
 Purpose: This DNP project aimed to reduce the gap in practice by providing in-person suicide awareness and prevention education to nurses of a western Massachusetts school district.
Methods: A 60-minute suicide awareness and prevention presentation was developed and presented.  Using a pre/post survey, participants’ previous experiences, knowledge and attitudes about suicide, as well as level of confidence in identifying and responding to youth at risk were assessed.  Descriptive statistics were used to determine whether the intervention was successful. 
Results: Seventeen school nurses attended the presentation.  The results of the pre/post survey suggested an improvement in knowledge and attitudes about suicide, as well as an increase in level of confidence in identifying and interacting with youth at risk for suicide.  School nurses also demonstrated more knowledge of resources for referral.
Conclusion: School personnel are in a unique position to identify and assist youth at risk for suicide and suicide prevention education is necessary in providing school personnel with the knowledge and skills needed to address this issue.

This strength is related to the presence of short-range and tensor correlations, and was known hitherto only indirectly and with considerable uncertainty from the lack of strength in the independent-particle region. This experiment confirms by direct measurement the correlated strength predicted by theory.

description: The World Bank’s world development indicators (WDI) compilation is a rich and widely used database about the development of most economies in the world. However, after insheeting a WDI dataset, some data management is required prior to performing statistical analysis. In this article, I propose a new Stata command, wdireshape, for automating this data management. While reshaping a WDI dataset into structures amenable to panel data, seeming unrelated regression, or cross-sectional modeling, wdireshape renames the series and places the series descriptors into variable labels.

description: Background observations obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) toward l=95.4, b=36.1 show OVI 1032,1038 in emission. This sight line probes a region of stronger-than-average soft X-ray emission in the direction of high-velocity cloud Complex C above a part of the disk where Halpha filaments rise into the halo. The OVI intensities, 1600+/-300 ph/s/cm^2/sr (1032A) and 800+/-300 ph/s/cm^2/sr (1038A), are the lowest detected in emission in the Milky Way to date. A second sight line nearby (l=99.3, b=43.3) also shows OVI 1032 emission, but with too low a signal-to-noise ratio to obtain reliable measurements. The measured intensities, velocities, and FWHMs of the OVI doublet and the CII* line at 1037A are consistent with a model in which the observed emission is produced in the Galactic halo by hot gas ejected by supernovae in the Perseus arm. An association of the observed gas with Complex C appears unlikely.

description: Quantum transitions among de Sitter and Minkowski spacetimes through bubble nucleation are revisited using the Hamiltonian formalism. We interpret tunnelling probabilities as relative probabilities: the ratio of the squared wave functionals $\mathcal{P}=\frac{|Ψ_{\mathcal{N}}|^2}{|Ψ_{\mathcal{B}}|^2}$, with $Ψ_{\mathcal{B,N}}$ solutions of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation corresponding to the spacetimes $\mathcal{N}$ and $\mathcal{B}$, gives the probability of nucleating the state $\mathcal{N}$ relative to the probability of having the state $\mathcal{B}$. We find that the transition amplitude from de Sitter to de Sitter for both up- and down-tunnelling agrees with the original result based on Euclidean instanton methods. Expanding on the work of Fischler, Morgan and Polchinski we find that the Minkowski to de Sitter transition is possible as in the original Euclidean approach of Farhi, Guth and Guven. We further generalise existing calculations by computing the wave function away from the turning points for the classical motion of the wall in de Sitter to de Sitter transitions. We address several challenges for the viability of the Minkowski to de Sitter transition, including consistency with detailed balance and AdS/CFT. This sets this transition on firmer grounds but opens further questions. Our arguments also validate the Coleman-De Luccia formulae in the presence of gravity since it has no issues involving negative eigenmodes and other ambiguities of the Euclidean approach. We briefly discuss the implications of our results for early universe cosmology and the string landscape.

description: A finite size scaling theory for the partition function zeros and thermodynamic functions of O(N) phi^4-theory in four dimensions is derived from renormalization group methods. The leading scaling behaviour is mean-field like with multiplicative logarithmic corrections which are linked to the triviality of the theory. These logarithmic corrections are independent of N for odd thermodynamic quantities and associated zeros and are N dependent for the even ones. Thus a numerical study of finite size scaling in the Ising model serves as a non-perturbative test of triviality of phi^4_4-theories for all N.

Sexually Transmitted Infections among College Women Secondary to High Risk Behaviors Related to Lack of Behavioral Health Interventions
Creators: name: Brouillette, Jennifer M
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2013

OBJECTIVES:   The goal of this doctorate of nursing practice (DNP) capstone project was to bridge the research gap on the problem of increased risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including immunodeficiency virus (HIV), human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, gonorrhea, and genital herpes among college women, ages 18-25 years, related to high risk sexual behaviors.  Although a review of the literature reports that this population is provided with educational opportunities, including prior schooling, electronic resources, and primary care providers, rates of STIs among this population remain high.  The purpose of this research translation project is to disseminate the current evidence of the problem of increased risk of STIs among college women, to implement best practice interventions to increase college women’s knowledge of STIs, rid misconceptions, and enhance knowledge of risk reduction behaviors in college health settings.   METHODS: This DNP project was an evaluation performance improvement project with a one group pre-test and post-test.  RESULTS: One-way ANOVA identified a significant statistical difference in total means scores in both tools, the General STI Knowledge Survey and Perceived Risk Survey, from pre-test to post-test (p=.00).  The majority of participants reported intent to consistently use condoms post-intervention, with 94.5% (n=86) considering to use condoms for the next 6 months and 91.2% (n=83) planning within the next 30 days. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this project are both statistically and clinically significant in demonstrating the role of STI knowledge and risk assessment in decision making in college women.

Educating Health Care Providers on the Benefits of Screening for Adverse Childhood Experiences in Children and Adolescents
Creators: name: Hickey, Kristen
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Background: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with the development of chronic health problems as well as increased risk for negative mental health outcomes.   Research supports the need for health care providers (HCP) to change current practice by adding one of the many types of screening tools for ACEs, such as the ACEs Q, to well-child visits. The information obtained from the assessment leads to early identification of children who are at risk for negative mental health outcomes, allowing HCPs to initiate early interventions potentially decreasing the negative outcomes.
Purpose:  The purpose of this quality improvement project was to provide education to HCPs regarding the impact of ACEs on mental health outcomes because HCPs are in an ideal position to screen, detect and intervene for ACEs in their patients and to improve their knowledge and skills to implement an ACEs screening tool in their practice.
Methods:  A 45-minute in-service presentation was given to 12 HCPs that included the current recommendations from the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) and the American Association of Pediatrics (AAP) and trends in states utilizing the ACEs screening in a small local health care system.  Pre and posttest surveys were administered to assess the effect of education on knowledge and skills for screening of ACEs.  Open response questions were included in both surveys.  Paired t-tests was used to the compare the mean differences between pre and post-test scores on knowledge and practices.
Results: Six of the twelve (50%) HCPs completed the ACEs screening program.  We found mean score improvements in overall HCP’s knowledge, skills, and intent to utilize ACEs (by 5.1 points) as well as individual components such as knowledge of HCP’s role in screening for ACEs (by 0.8 points), and knowledge of available resources (by 1.0 points) from baseline to post-test. HCP’s knowledge and skills improved in the following key areas: ACEs screening tool (48% vs 52%); negative health impacts of ACEs (49% vs 51%); initiation of ACEs treatment at any age (46% vs 54%); CDC’s prevention plan (47% vs 53%); available resources (42% vs. 58%); and confidence in ACE assessment (45% vs 55%).  The qualitative results uncover themes indicating the education improved the HCP’s knowledge of ACEs, desire to learn more about ACEs and need to incorporate ACEs screening into practice.  Conclusions:  The ACEs screening education program was helpful to improve HCP’s knowledge, skills, and intent to utilize ACEs screenings in their practice.   This educational program may have the potential to change way the HCPs assess their patients by including the screening for ACEs in their clinical practice.

Peer Support to Reduce Vicarious Trauma in Mental Health Providers
Creators: name: Kendrick, Alina
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Mental health providers working with individuals with trauma and stress are at increased risk for vicarious trauma (VT) and compassion fatigue.
A quality improvement project was implemented with six mental health providers engaged in weekly peer support group sessions lead by the DNP student over a six week timeframe. Topics discussed included education on vicarious trauma, client case vignettes, and mindfulness around the treatment of vicarious trauma. Professional quality of life (ProQOL) and secondary traumatic stress (STSS) assessments were completed prior to the start of the peer group and at the completion of the sixth group.  
Analysis of post group assessment results demonstrated a strong agreement by 67% that peer support is necessary. Additional findings from the peer support groups concluded that connection and the sense of feeling less alone was beneficial, resulting in more clinic camaraderie and individual confidence with patient care. The mental health providers also felt supported by their leadership as a result of their participation.
The results of this quality improvement project demonstrate that peer support groups may reduce provider burnout and vicarious trauma, and increase compassion satisfaction.

description: In this article, we describe a command, riskplot, aiming to provide a visual aid to assess the strength, importance, and consistency of risk factor effects. The plotted form is a dendrogram that branches out as it moves from left to right. It displays the mean of some score or the absolute risk of some outcome for a sample that is progressively disaggregated by a sequence of categorical risk factors. Examples of the application of the new command are drawn from the analysis of depression and fluid intelligence in a sample of elderly men and women.

description: We show that any first order ordinary differential equation with a known Lie point symmetry group can be discretized into a difference scheme with the same symmetry group. In general, the lattices are not regular ones, but must be adapted to the symmetries considered. The invariant difference schemes can be so chosen that their solutions coincide exactly with those of the original differential equation.

description: Abnormally high ecotropic viral integration site 1 (EVI1) expression has been recognized as a poor prognostic factor in acute myeloid leukemia patients. However, its prognostic impact in B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) remains unknown. A total of 176 pediatric Ph-negative BCP-ALL patients who received at least 1 course of chemotherapy and received chemotherapy only during follow-up were retrospectively tested for EVI1 transcript levels by real-time quantitative PCR at diagnosis, and survival analysis was performed. Clinical and EVI1 expression data of 129 pediatric BCP-ALL patients were downloaded from therapeutically applicable research to generate effective treatments (TARGET) database for validation. In our cohort, the median EVI1 transcript level was 0.33% (range, 0.0068–136.2%), and 0.10% was determined to be the optimal cutoff value for patient grouping by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Low EVI1 expression (<0.10%) was significantly related to lower 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates (P = 0.017 and 0.018, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that EVI1 expression <0.10% was an independent adverse prognostic factor for RFS and OS. TARGET data showed that low EVI1 expression tended to be related to a lower 5-year OS rate (P = 0.066). In conclusion, low EVI1 expression at diagnosis could predict poor outcomes in pediatric Ph-negative BCP-ALL patients receiving chemotherapy.
