The Stories That Bind Us: Social Services Caseworkers' Experiences and Narratives

Subjects: Social service

description: Using in-depth analysis of interviews with five caseworkers, this thesis explores how caseworkers at the Department of Social Services in Alamance County, North Carolina use narrative to negotiate and perform their identity, indoctrinate new caseworkers, establish hierarchy and community in an office atmosphere, combat negative public perceptions of caseworkers, and cope with an often emotionally taxing career. In order to accomplish this caseworkers use narrative strategies such as reported speech and generalized experience narratives. Many of the existing studies on laborlore focus on the dynamics between workers and supervisors. This research, however, allows us to understand how narratives function in an office environment where stories are shared primarily amongst workers of roughly the same status. It also provides insight into how narratives are used to establish community in an environment where office dynamics are changing rapidly in response to high turnover rates and hostile popular opinion about public assistance.

description: We derive the numerical schemes for the strong order integration of the set of the stochastic differential equations (SDEs) corresponding to the non-stationary Parker transport equation (PTE). PTE is 5-dimensional (3 spatial coordinates, particles energy and time) Fokker- Planck type equation describing the non-stationary the galactic cosmic ray (GCR) particles transport in the heliosphere. We present the formulas for the numerical solution of the obtained set of SDEs driven by a Wiener process in the case of the full three-dimensional diffusion tensor. We introduce the solution applying the strong order Euler-Maruyama, Milstein and stochastic Runge-Kutta methods. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the presented numerical methods in the context of increasing the accuracy of the solution of the PTE.

description: We discuss a way to exploit the conformal mapping to study the response of a finite metallic element of arbitrary shape to an external electromagnetic field at finite frequencies. This provides a simple way to study different physics issues and provides new insights that include the issue of vorticity and eddy current, and the nature of the divergent electric field at the boundaries and at corners. The nature of the resonance can be directly addressed and clarified. We study an example of an equilateral triangle and found good agreement with results obtained with traditional numerical techniques.

description: We present a new and up-to-date analysis of the solar low-degree $p$-mode parameter shifts from the Birmingham Solar-Oscillations Network (BiSON) over the past 22 years, up to the end of 2014. We aim to demonstrate that they are not dominated by changes in the asymmetry of the resonant peak profiles of the modes and that the previously published results on the solar-cycle variations of mode parameters are reliable. We compare the results obtained using a conventional maximum likelihood estimation algorithm and a new one based on the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique, both taking into account mode asymmetry. We assess the reliability of the solar-cycle trends seen in the data by applying the same analysis to artificially generated spectra. We find that the two methods are in good agreement. Both methods accurately reproduce the input frequency shifts in the artificial data and underestimate the amplitude and width changes by a small amount, around 10 per cent. We confirm earlier findings that the frequency and line width are positively correlated, and the mode amplitude anticorrelated, with the level of solar activity, with the energy supplied to the modes remaining essentially unchanged. For the mode asymmetry the correlation with activity is marginal, but the MCMC algorithm gives more robust results than the MLE. The magnitude of the parameter shifts is consistent with earlier work. There is no evidence that the frequency changes we see arise from changes in the asymmetry, which would need to be much larger than those observed in order to give the observed frequency shift.

What is your empathy scale not measuring? The convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity of five empathy scales

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences
subject: Psychology
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: A review by Hall and Schwartz (2019) revealed that nearly half of the published studies on empathy employed an empathy measure that did not align precisely with the theoretical definition the author provided. This may occur because researchers might not know what each published empathy scale actually measures. The present research begins to address this problem by reporting a large set of correlates for five different empathy scales to enable researchers to review the interpersonal traits and abilities each scale predicted. Participants (N = 182) completed the Davis IRI and the empirically derived Hogan Empathy Scale (HES). Each empathy scale produced its own unique pattern of correlates with empathy related traits that more or less supported each scale’s description. However, none of the five scales reliably predicted empathy related abilities. We discuss the importance of examining a scale’s predictive validity over its reliability, face-validity, popularity, or name.

description: The effective field theory of inflation is a powerful tool for obtaining model independent predictions common to large classes of inflationary models. It requires only information about the symmetries broken during the inflationary era, and on the number and nature of fields that drive inflation. In this paper, we consider the case for scenarios that simultaneously break time reparameterization and spatial diffeomorphisms during inflation. We examine how to analyse such systems using an effective field theory approach, and we discuss several observational consequences for the statistics of scalar and tensor modes. For example, examining the three point functions, we show that this symmetry breaking pattern can lead to an enhanced amplitude for the squeezed bispectra, and to a distinctive angular dependence between their three wavevectors. We also discuss how our results indicate prospects for constraining the level of spatial diffeomorphism breaking during inflation.

description: The Covid-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to all aspects of life and work. Due to the need to reduce social contact, the work environment has suffered a radical transformation. Scientific research has not been an exception and many researchers, particularly in the field of psychology and neuroscience, have been forced to transfer from traditional laboratory research to the online environment (Peyton, 2020; Sauter 2020). This study tested the validity of a web-based episodic memory paradigm by comparing participants’ memory performance for trustworthy and untrustworthy facial stimuli in a supervised laboratory setting and an unsupervised web setting. Consistent with previous results, we observed enhanced episodic memory for untrustworthy compared to trustworthy faces. Most importantly, this memory bias was comparable in the online and the laboratory experiment, suggesting that web-based procedures are a promising tool for memory research.

Empathy, friend or foe? Untangling the relationship between empathy and burnout in helping professions

Publisher: name: Open Science Framework
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences
subject: Psychology
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: The relationship between empathy and burnout in helping professions has been debated extensively, with some arguing the tendency to vicariously experience the emotions of another is a risk factor for burnout and others arguing that this disposition protects against burnout. We sought to aid this debate by assessing the relationship between two empathy facets, positive and negative, and burnout across three samples of helping professionals: practicing clinicians (N = 59), medical students (N = 76), and teaching assistants (N = 77). Results across all three samples consistently revealed that one’s tendency to share in the positive emotions of another (i.e., positive empathy) was related to lower levels of burnout, even after controlling for several potential confounding factors. Beyond discussing the utility of the emerging study of positive empathy, we offer potential avenues for reducing burnout in helping professions by emphasizing the importance of sharing in the positive emotions of others.

description: Globalization of the food supply chain (FSC) has brought significant challenges to the food system, such as fraud, safety, security, and quality issues, due to information asymmetry. Globalization also increases the difficulty and complexity of solving these problems to improve FSC efficiency. Blockchain technology (BCT) has proven to have the capability to transform FSC based on its potential benefits. However, studies of BCT adoption in FSC are relatively new and scarce. This study systematically reviews the current state of research in the space of BCT and FSCs. In carrying out the research, a systematic literature review (SLR) was deployed using two prominent databases, Scopus and Business Source Complete (EBSCO), covering articles from 2016 to 2021, with 52 articles synthesized to identify blockchain enablers, benefits, and barriers. Based on this review, a conceptual framework was developed for BCT adoption within the FSC. The study identified scalability, interoperability, high cost, lack of expertise, and regulations as the most likely barriers to BCT adoption. It contributes to the body of knowledge by providing insights into BCT adoption in the FSC and offers evidence-based direction for other industries to build their BCT strategies.

Fast magnetic reconnection in the solar chromosphere mediated by the plasmoid instability

description: Magnetic reconnection in the partially ionized solar chromosphere is studied in 2.5-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations including radiative cooling and ambipolar diffusion. A Harris current sheet with and without a guide field is considered. Characteristic values of the parameters in the middle chromosphere imply a high magnetic Reynolds number of $\sim10^{6}\mbox{--}10^7$ in the present simulations. Fast magnetic reconnection then develops as a consequence of the plasmoid instability without the need to invoke anomalous resistivity enhancements. Multiple levels of the instability are followed as it cascades to smaller scales, which approach the ion inertial length. The reconnection rate, normalized to the asymptotic values of magnetic field and Alfvén velocity in the inflow region, reaches values in the range $\sim0.01\mbox{--}0.03$ throughout the cascading plasmoid formation and for zero as well as for strong guide field. The out-flow velocity reaches $\approx40$~km\,s$^{-1}$. Slow-mode shocks extend from the $X$-points, heating the plasmoids up to $\sim 8\times10^4$~K. In the case of zero guide field, the inclusion of ambipolar diffusion and radiative cooling both cause a rapid thinning of the current sheet (down to $\sim30$~m) and early formation of secondary islands. Both of these processes have very little effect on the plasmoid instability for a strong guide field. The reconnection rates, temperature enhancements, and upward out-flow velocities from the vertical current sheet correspond well to their characteristic values in chromospheric jets.
Analysis and Visualization of Atrial Fibrillation Electrograms Using Cross-Correlation
Creators: name: Geibel, Conrad John
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Despite many recent studies into the behavior of the complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAEs) that characterize atrial fibrillation, there has been relatively little success in analyzing them to reliably identify and ablate the rotor sources of atrial fibrillation in real time. The objective of this study is to propose a new method of analyzing and displaying CFAE signals to help cardiologists identify likely rotors during ablation procedures. This method uses cross-correlation to compare the electrograms collected at individual electrodes, and calculates the time lead/lag for each electrode compared to a local reference. The results of the analysis are displayed on a 3D color map using coordinate data collected alongside the electrogram data. Atrial fibrillation CFAE data was collected from patients with one of two different types of electrode catheter, and a data set from a patient with atrial flutter was evaluated using the same methods. The cross-correlation method was confirmed to be working as designed when the atrial flutter lead/lag color map matched the one created by the cardiologists who collected the data. Several AF wave fronts were identified in the data as a lead to lag shift. By varying the length of electrogram data used through the analysis, it was determined that CFAEs have irregular timing and cannot easily be compared in large time sections versus smaller time sections. The unstable CFAE timing also led to the conclusion that nonlocal references cannot accurately correlate with the data, which may be due to the unpredictable flow of activation waves in the heart. The irregular timing of many of the electrograms points to regularity of CFAEs in an area as a potential indicator of rotor centers. Collecting the data using unipolar electrodes rather than bipolar electrodes was found to give much better results, with many instances of wave front activity found, as well as better agreement between large and small sections in some cases. With its ability to identify AF wave fronts, this method has potential as a tool to be used to locate and identify likely AF sources in real time.

description: The impact of a strong magnetic field, varying with the total baryon number density, on thermodynamic properties of strange quark matter (SQM) in the core of a magnetized hybrid star is considered at zero temperature within the framework of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) bag model. It is clarified that the central magnetic field strength is bound from above by the value at which the derivative of the longitudinal pressure with respect to the baryon number density vanishes first somewhere in the quark core under varying the central field. Above this upper bound, the instability along the magnetic field is developed in magnetized SQM. The total energy density, longitudinal and transverse pressures are found as functions of the total baryon number density.

description: As pieces of legislation continue to circulate concerning discrimination based on disability and the requirements and opportunities schools are obligated to provide, organizations have begun looking for ways to abide by the legislation, most importantly Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. In response, the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference became the first collegiate athletic conference to offer NCAA-sanctioned events and varsity-level competition in adaptive sports. Recommendations and observations from ten participants were used to create a framework for a more polished adaptive initiative. The suggestions and observations of the inaugural year of competition are driving factors that will best represent a similar student-athlete experience to that of an able-bodied student-athlete. By advising ECAC officials, coaches, and administrators, this study aims to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the program and how ECAC institutions can best advance this initiative going forward.

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

description: Objective: To comparatively assess the vertical and volume wear of a conventional incremental-fill and a novel bulk-fill nanocomposite using an indirect method (3D analysis of gypsum replicas) and a novel direct method (intraoral scanner), in parallel. Methods: Each patient recruited for this randomized, controlled clinical trial received one- or two-pairs of Class II restorations using an incremental-fill (Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior, 3M ESPE) and a bulk-fill (Filtek Supreme Ultra, 3M ESPE) resin composite. Baseline and 6-month recall impressions were taken with conventional VPS material (Imprint 3, 3M ESPE) and with an intraoral scanner (3M True Definition, 3M ESPE). Gypsum replicas of the conventional impressions were digitized using a laboratory scanner (Lava Scan ST, 3M ESPE). Vertical wear and volume loss for each material and wear-measuring method was calculated. Results: Premolars restored with the bulk-fill resin composite had a statistically significant greater mean depth loss (17±8 µm) versus the incremental-fill group (11±5 µm) (p=0.043). Measurements made with the direct method had good to excellent agreement with the indirect method (ICC 0.734 – 0.997). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the intraoral scanner used may be suitable for clinical assessment of wear. Three-body abrasive wear of Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior (3M ESPE) was greater than that of Filtek Supreme Ultra (3M ESPE) in the premolar group.

description: Extraction of charge carriers from a hot carrier solar cell using energy selective contacts, and the impact on limiting power conversion efficiency is analyzed. It is shown that assuming isentropic conversion of carrier heat into voltage implies zero power output at all operating points. Under conditions of power output, lower voltages than in the isentropic case are obtained due to the irreversible entropy increase associated with carrier flow. This lowers the limiting power conversion efficiency of a hot carrier solar cell.

This contradiction is the consequence of two properties of a specific set which we use to reformulate the conjecture.

The Effects of a Six-Week Combined Exercise and Recreation Therapy Intervention on Stress Hormones and Heart Rhythms in Breast Cancer Survivors
Creators: name: Anderson, Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Even upon successful completion of treatment, breast cancer patients face a number of deleterious physiological and psychological side-effects. The purpose of the current study was to determine the effects of a six-week combined exercise and recreation therapy intervention on the cortisol:DHEA ratio and heart rate coherence levels. Nine women who had recently completed breast cancer treatment received exercise, recreation therapy or a combination of both three times per week for six weeks. No change was found in the cortisol:DHEA ratio (p=0.747) or in heart rate coherence levels in response to the intervention (p=0.172). Eight of the nine subjects were receiving adjunct therapy involving the use of selective estrogen receptor modulator drugs which suppress cortisol and DHEA levels. This fact combined with the small sample size likely prevented significant findings. However, trends towards decreased cortisol:DHEA and heart rate coherence improvements were observed warranting further study.

description: We present new results on the evolution of the cosmic star formation rate as a function of stellar mass in the SXDS-UDS field. We make use of narrow-band selected emission line galaxies in four redshift slices between z = 1.46 and z = 0.63, and compute stellar masses by fitting a series of templates to recreate each galaxy's star formation history. We determine mass-binned luminosity functions in each redshift slice, and derive the star formation rate density (rhoSFR) as a function of mass using the [OIII] or [OII] emission lines. We calculate dust extinction and metallicity as a function of stellar mass, and investigate the effect of these corrections on the shape of the overall rhoSFR(M). We find that both these corrections are crucial for determining the shape of the rhoSFR(M), and its evolution with redshift. The fully corrected rhoSFR(M) is a relatively flat distribution, with the normalisation moving towards lower values of rhoSFR with increasing cosmic time/decreasing redshift, and requiring star formation to be truncated across all masses studied here. The peak of rhoSFR(M) is found in the 10^10.5

Experiments on Political Power, Voting, and Values

Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: A pre-analysis for the study was filed on February 22, 2021, with the Evidence in Governance and Politics (EGAP) Design registry. That preregistration is publicly available on OSF. However, the original preregistration includes identifying information about the author. For the purposes of retaining author anonymity for peer review, we have removed any identifying information (including author name, affiliations, and links to university-specific recruitment websites) from this replication of preregistration materials. When we pre-registered this study, we have describe the experimental procedure in detail. The de-identified original pre-registration is copied in this registration. Competition is ubiquitous in human society. Individuals and groups compete with each other for economic resources and political power. In this study, I will use a series of laboratory experiments to measure how voting behavior and policy outcomes change depending on whether individuals compete for political power.
Iron Replacement Therapy in Patients with Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction and Iron Deficiency: A Scoping Review

description: In the current available literature there are various papers published surrounding the use of iron in reduced ejection fraction heart failure with iron deficiency patients, but these papers vary greatly in their interventions used as well as their objectives sought. This heterogeneity in the literature gives rise to questions about what the most efficient and safe way to replete a patients iron with HFrEF and iron deficiency is, as well as what benefits these patients will see based on the different therapeutic alternatives. This scoping review aims to identify the current literature surrounding this topic and also identify gaps in the literature for future studies to be performed in.

description: Electron localization in the Si/Ge heterosystem with Si quantum dots (QDs) was studied by transport and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements. For Si QD structures grown on Ge(111) substrates, the ESR signal with g-factor $g=2.0022\pm0.0001$ and ESR line width $ΔH\approx1.2$ Oe was observed and attributed to the electrons localized in QDs. The g-factor value was explained by taking into account the energy band modification due to strain effects and quantum confinement. A strong Ge-Si intermixing in QD structures grown on Ge(001) is assumed to be main reason of unobserved ESR signal from QDs. The transport behavior confirms the efficient electron localization in Si QDs.
