description: Training in shared decision-making (SDM) often focuses solely on dyadic relationships between one healthcare provider and one patient. However, many healthcare decisions often involve two or more health professionals. These decisions warrant utilizing an interprofessional shared decision-making (IP-SDM) approach which enables patients and their caregivers to face difficult decisions around care together. Most existing SDM training programs fall short when building interprofessional (IP) competencies and require an approach that integrates IP with SDM. This short report discusses the creation and trial implementation of three enhanced education tools (a video, role-play exercise with decision aid, and an IP observation aid) for an IP-SDM workshop focused on helping homecare teams collaborate with seniors and their caregivers throughout the decision-making process. We developed and implemented these tools in eight study sites of a larger randomized control trial to test the training workshop for homecare teams. The workshop and tools helped participants overcome interprofessional challenges in their work. Participants evaluated the tools and workshop, which offered guidance to better translate teachable IP collaboration competencies within SDM.

Assessment of the notions of band offsets, wells and barriers at nanoscale semiconductor heterojunctions

description: Epitaxially-grown semiconductor heterostructures give the possibility to tailor the potential landscape for the carriers in a very controlled way. In planar lattice-matched heterostructures, the potential has indeed a very simple and easily predictable behavior: it is constant everywhere except at the interfaces where there is a step (discontinuity) which only depends on the composition of the semiconductors in contact. In this paper, we show that this universally accepted picture can be invalid in nanoscale heterostructures (e.g., quantum dots, rods, nanowires) which can be presently fabricated in a large variety of forms. Self-consistent tight-binding calculations applied to systems containing up to 75 000 atoms indeed demonstrate that the potential may have a more complex behavior in axial hetero-nanostructures: The band edges can show significant variations far from the interfaces if the nanostructures are not capped with a homogeneous shell. These results suggest new strategies to engineer the electronic properties of nanoscale objects, e.g. for sensors and photovoltaics.

description: LS 5039 is a high-mass binary with a period of 4 days, containing a compact object and an O star, one of the few high-mass binaries detected in gamma-rays. Our Chandra ACIS observation of LS 5039 provided a high-significance (~10sigma) detection of extended emission clearly visible for up to 1' from the point source. The spectrum of this emission can be described by an absorbed power-law model with photon index Gamma=1.9pm0.3, somewhat softer than the point source spectrum Gamma=1.44pm0.07, with the same absorption, N_H=(6.4pm0.6)e21 /cm2. The observed 0.5-8 keV flux of the extended emission is 8.8e-14 erg/s/cm2, or 5% of the point source flux; the latter is a factor of ~2 lower than the lowest flux detected so far. Fainter extended emission with comparable flux and a softer (Gamma~3) spectrum is detected at even greater radii (up to 2'). Two possible interpretations of the extended emission are a dust scattering halo and a synchrotron nebula powered by energetic particles escaping the binary. We discuss both of these scenarios and favor the nebula interpretation, although some dust contribution is possible. We have also found transient sources located within a narrow stripe south of LS 5039. We discuss the likelihood of these sources to be related to LS 5039.

description: There is growing evidence that activities in nature could meet both health and nature conservation goals. Consequently, there is growing interest in collaborations between health and nature conservation organizations. However, interdisciplinary teamwork and collaborations risk failing through lack of common understanding and awareness of desired outcomes. For this project a multidisciplinary team was established and used a case study collaboration between a major conservation organization and health organization to examine perceptions of nature and assess the nature interventions desired by people in both sectors. We found a broad overlap in understanding of nature. However, there was a tendency for conservation outcomes to be overlooked, highlighting a potential risk of disengagement from the conservation partner. We recommend that health-conservation collaborations increase early communication and more strongly promote the interventions that provide tangible, physical benefits to nature.

description: Hard-sphere fluids confined between parallel plates a distance $D$ apart are studied for a wide range of packing fractions, including also the onset of crystallization, applying Monte Carlo simulation techniques and density functional theory. The walls repel the hard spheres (of diameter $σ$) with a Weeks-Chandler-Andersen (WCA) potential $V_{WCA}(z) = 4 ε[(σ_w/z)^{12}-(σ_w/z)^6 + 1/4]$, with range $σ_w = σ/2$. We vary the strength $ε$ over a wide range and the case of simple hard walls is also treated for comparison. By the variation of $ε$ one can change both the surface excess packing fraction and the wall-fluid $(γ_{wf})$ and wall-crystal $(γ_{wc})$ surface free energies. Several different methods to extract $γ_{wf}$ and $γ_{wc}$ from Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are implemented, and their accuracy and efficiency is comparatively discussed. The density functional theory (DFT) using Fundamental Measure functionals is found to be quantitatively accurate over a wide range of packing fractions; small deviations between DFT and MC near the fluid to crystal transition need to be studied further. Our results on density profiles near soft walls could be useful to interpret corresponding experiments with suitable colloidal dispersions.

description: We review recent insights into the dynamics of the solar convection zone obtained from global numerical simulations, focusing on two recent developments in particular. The first is quasi-cyclic magnetic activity in a long-duration dynamo simulation. Although mean fields comprise only a few percent of the total magnetic energy they exhibit remarkable order, with multiple polarity reversals and systematic variability on time scales of 6-15 years. The second development concerns the maintenance of the meridional circulation. Recent high-resolution simulations have captured the subtle nonlinear dynamical balances with more fidelity than previous, more laminar models, yielding more coherent circulation patterns. These patterns are dominated by a single cell in each hemisphere, with poleward and equatorward flow in the upper and lower convection zone respectively. We briefly address the implications of and future of these modeling efforts.

Infrastructure and the Black Panther Party: Toward an Infrastructural Politics
Creators: name: Kamish, Dalton William
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The Black Panther Party (BPP) is one of the most iconic and influential groups in the history of Black radicalism, the global sixties, and left politics more broadly. While many scholars have examined its history, ideology, legacy, and more, few have focused on the BPP as a vanguard party in the tradition of Marxism-Leninism. This thesis addresses this gap through a study of the BPP and (its) infrastructure(s). The central wager of this thesis is that infrastructure can be a powerful organizing concept for radical politics as well as a discerning lens for analysis of the same. It employs infrastructure—in all of its conceptual richness as a media theoretical perspective, sociotechnical assemblage, and concrete thing—as the framework for a discourse analysis of the BPP's newspaper, The Black Panther, to produce a multivalent concept of infrastructural politics informed by the BPP's unique thought and practice, Marxist political and cultural theory, and the recent infrastructural turn in communication and media studies. First, infrastructural politics activates infrastructure as a site of political struggle. Second, it identifies providing and becoming infrastructure to the people as a mode of political praxis. And last, infrastructural politics directs attention to the communicational infrastructures that sustain political movements. Finally, embedding the BPP within the context of postmodernism, the thesis argues that the BPP articulated an aesthetics of cognitive mapping endemic to late capitalism by virtue of their infrastructural politics. Because infrastructure has a special relationship to cognitive mapping, it is recommended that this last be adopted as an imperative for infrastructuralism, toward an infrastructural politics.

title: Constructing Cassandra: The social construction of strategic surprise at the Central Intelligence Agency 1947-2001
Creators: name: Jones, Milo
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This dissertation takes a post-positivist approach to strategic surprise, and examines the identity and internal culture of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) through the lens of social constructivism. It identifies numerous social mechanisms that created and maintained four key, persistent attributes of the CIA’s identity and culture between 1947 and 2001. These features are: 1) homogeneity of personnel; 2) scientism and the reification of a narrow form of ‘reason’; 3) an overwhelming preference for ‘secrets’ over openly-available information; and, 4) a relentless drive for consensus. It then documents the influence of these elements of the CIA’s identity and culture in each phase of the intelligence cycle (Tasking, Collection, Analysis, Production and Dissemination), prior to four strategic surprises: the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Iranian Islamic Revolution of 1979, the collapse of the USSR, and al-Qa’ida’s terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001. It concludes that these key aspects of the CIA’s identity and culture created the antecedent conditions that allowed these four strategic surprises to occur, and thus prevented the CIA from fulfilling its mandate to ‘prevent another Pearl Harbor’. This conclusion is supported by contrasting the majority views at the CIA prior to these events with the views of ‘Cassandras’ (i.e. individuals inside or outside the Agency who anticipated the approximate course of events based on reasoned threat assessments that differed sharply from the Agency’s, but who were ignored or sidelined). In so doing, this work shifts the burden of proof for explaining strategic surprises back to the characteristics and actions of intelligence producers like the CIA, and away from errors by intelligence consumers like politicians and policymakers. This conclusion also allows this work to posit that understanding strategic surprise as a social construction is logically prior to previously proposed, entirely positivist, attempts to explain or to prevent it.

Catalytic synthesis of N-heterocycles and alpha-alkylated amines by hydroamination and hydroaminoalkylation
Creators: name: Lau, Ying Yin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The research presented in this thesis emphasizes the versatility and utility of N,O-chelated early transition metals for the catalytic synthesis of -alkylated amines. Two major transformations were studied extensively in this work, hydroamination and hydroaminoalkylation. For both reactions, the synthetic utility and substrate scope has been expanded by the work presented herein. In the field of hydroamination, N-heterocycles with more than one heteroatom can now be synthesized using early transition metal catalysts from prochiral substrates. Hydroamination with a bis(amidate)bis(amido) complex of titanium of ether-containing aminoalkyne substrates yield cyclic imines, which are subsequently reduced via asymmetric transfer hydrogenation using the Noyori-Ikariya catalyst, RuCl [(S,S)-Ts-DPEN] (η⁶-p-cymene). 3-Substituted morpholines are synthesized using a one-pot sequential catalysis protocol, in good yields and high enantiomeric excesses. Substrate scope investigations reveal that high enantioselectivities in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reaction arise from key hydrogen bonding interactions between the oxygen heteroatom of the ether-containing cyclic imine and the [(S,S)-Ts-DPEN] ligand of Noyori-Ikariya catalyst. This mechanistic insight informed the proposal that this synthetic strategy can be extended to other substrates containing functional groups with hydrogen bond acceptors. As such, 3-substituted piperazines are also prepared with high enantioselectivities using this one-pot protocol. Advances to the hydroaminoalkylation transformation have also been made with the first reported example of room temperature reactivity observed using a phosphoramidate-tantalum complex. The preparation and characterization of a series of N,O-chelated phosphoramidate-tantalum complexes is described. These complexes were easily synthesized from either Ta(NMe₂)₅ by protonolysis or a simple organometallic precursor, TaMe₃Cl₂, by salt metathesis. Reactivity towards catalytic hydroaminoalkylation was explored and the results highlight that the choice of tantalum starting material dramatically affects the reaction temperatures required for catalytic turnover. N,O-chelated phosphoramidate dimethylamido tantalum complexes showed reactivity occurred only at elevated temperatures (≥ 90 °C), whereas phosphoramidate-tantalum complexes derived from TaMe₃Cl₂ exhibited unprecedented catalytic activity at room temperature. Preliminary efforts indicate that there is potential for an asymmetric version of hydroaminoalkylation at room temperature. Chiral phosphoramidate-tantalum complexes were prepared and studied as the first examples of asymmetric hydroaminoalkylation reactions at room temperature.
The Effect of Micro Credit on the Performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). A Study of Beauticians in Madina

description: This study discussed the effects of Microcredit on the performance of small and medium enterprises, specifically beauticians in Madina. The study targeted over 172 respondents. The instruments used in this study were close ended Questionnaires. Validity and reliability test were used to ensure that the instrument was reliable before fully administrating the questionnaires. The study used simple random sampling and selected 120 SMEs (beauticians). Data was presented using graphs and charts and was further analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. In the final analysis, the research clearly found that microcredit does not play a role in the performance of beautician businesses. In order to enhance a sustained and accelerated growth in the operations of SMEs, credits should be client-oriented and not product-oriented. The study concluded that MFIs were concerned with provision of financial services to people who were economically poor and who therefore experienced financial exclusion, in that they did not have ready access to mainstream, commercial financial services. However, these credits were given to SMEs at a high interest rate and that eroded their profits causing some of them not to perform.
Investigating the transition from passive to active expiration in rodents
Creators: name: Jenkin, Sarah Eleanor Maclay
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Under eupneic conditions, the breathing cycle is composed of three phases: inspiration (I), expiratory braking (E1) and a secondary expiratory phase (E2) during which there may be passive expiration and potentially an expiratory pause. Thus, inspiration is active and expiration is passive. With elevated respiratory drive, the abdominal muscles are recruited to exhale air forcefully from the lungs, producing active expiration (AE). Breathing is a highly integrated response, dependent on peripheral and central feedback. What is required to successfully transition from a passive to an active expiration is still unknown. The goal of this thesis was to determine what stimuli are required to recruit AE using a comparative approach. We determined which stimuli recruit AE, where within the breathing cycle AE occurs (early-expiration or late-expiration), and how the breathing cycle accommodates this new phase. Three different rat preparations (in vivo, in situ, and in vitro) were used to determine how anesthesia, afferent vagal feedback and peripheral and central chemoreceptors contribute to the production of AE. Hypoxia, anesthesia and afferent vagal feedback inhibited AE, while hypercapnia recruited AE. Central chemoreceptors were necessary to produce AE in vivo, but were insufficient to recruit AE in vitro. Within the pons, the Kölliker-Fuse actively inhibited the onset of AE activity, but did not directly initiate AE. Hypercapnia increased tidal volume (VT) and produced AE in all rodent species studied. However, there were differences in what CO₂ levels recruited AE, and where AE occurred within the breathing cycle. Most species recruited a late-expiratory AE, while agoutis, with elevated breathing frequencies and high dynamic compliance, recruited an early-expiratory AE. While AE can recruit the expiratory reserve volume to enhance VT in all species studied, the early-expiratory AE may enhance airflow to overcome an expiratory time constant that approaches the full expiratory phase duration (TE). This thesis highlights that AE is a flexible process, which can influence the breathing response in multiple ways (control of VT vs. control of TE). This suggests that the removal of the inhibitory inputs to the expiratory neural regions likely occurs through different mechanisms under different circumstances.

description: A fibre-optic, EM-insensitive measurement for the deformation of in-vessel components has successfully been installed and operated at the nuclear fusion experiment ASDEX Upgrade. The sensors were tested for their neutron tolerance and vacuum compatibility. Installation was done by copper-steel laser beam welding. Measurements of in-service oscillations due to all three existing types of load cases show good agreement with theory and simulations. A fatigue lifetime assessment was performed.

description: Massive stars are crucial building blocks of galaxies and the universe, as production sites of heavy elements and as stirring agents and energy providers through stellar winds and supernovae. The field of magnetic massive stars has seen tremendous progress in recent years. Different perspectives -- ranging from direct field measurements over dynamo theory and stellar evolution to colliding winds and the stellar environment -- fruitfully combine into a most interesting and still evolving overall picture, which we attempt to review here. Zeeman signatures leave no doubt that at least some O- and early B-type stars have a surface magnetic field. Indirect evidence, especially non-thermal radio emission from colliding winds, suggests many more. The emerging picture for massive stars shows similarities with results from intermediate mass stars, for which much more data are available. Observations are often compatible with a dipole or low order multi-pole field of about 1 kG (O-stars) or 300 G to 30 kG (Ap / Bp stars). Weak and unordered fields have been detected in the O-star zeta-Ori A and in Vega, the first normal A-type star with a magnetic field. Theory offers essentially two explanations for the origin of the observed surface fields: fossil fields, particularly for strong and ordered fields, or different dynamo mechanisms, preferentially for less ordered fields. Numerical simulations yield the first concrete stable (fossil) field configuration, but give contradictory results as to whether dynamo action in the radiative envelope of massive main sequence stars is possible. Internal magnetic fields, which may not even show up at the stellar surface, affect stellar evolution as they lead to a more uniform rotation, with more slowly rotating cores and faster surface rotation. Surface metallicities may become enhanced, thus affecting the mass-loss rates.

description: The economic analysis of smart grid capabilities needs to incorporate physical boundaries as hard constraints which need to be facilitated by means of flexibility potentials and intelligent dispatching. Due to the distributed nature of demand, economic coordination also needs to be able to facilitate a multitude of individual agents. Questions concerning the modeling and coordination of an active demand side are addressed using tools and techniques from information systems and economics.

description: The present study deals with spatially homogeneous and totally anisotropic locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type I cosmological model with variable $G$ and $Λ$ in presence of imperfect fluid. To get the deterministic model of Universe, we assume that the expansion $(θ)$ in the model is proportional to shear $(σ)$. This condition leads to $A=\ell B^{n}$, where $A$,\;$B$ are metric potential. The cosmological constant $Λ$ is found to be decreasing function of time and it approaches a small positive value at late time which is supported by recent Supernovae Ia (SN Ia) observations. Also it is evident that the distance modulus curve of derived model matches with observations perfectly.

Graphically Modeling Student Knowledge: A Bayesian Network Approach

description: It is commonly believed that diagnostic information that are instructionally relevant and educationally meaningful would help students identify remediation learning paths and assist teachers customize their instruction according to students’ knowledge gaps (DiBello et al., 2006). The Bayesian Network (BN) approach operationalizes cognitive diagnosis in a novel way of releasing some constraints of Cognitive Diagnostic Models (CDMs) and catering to a need of complex modeling of attribute structure and polytomous attributes. It also naturally relates to the assessment framework of Evidence-Centered Design (ECD). However, empirical studies fall short of systematically addressing the utility, uniqueness, and value of using BN in analyzing diagnostic assessment data. In this study, I first conducted simulations to examine the performance of the BN approach across assessment scenarios of different sample sizes, test lengths, Q matrix complexities, and attribute types. Second, I evaluated the mastery classification accuracies of the BN approach when various amount of information on the structure in attributes is provided. Third, I compared the utility and the performance of both BN and CDM in terms of mastery classification accuracies across different assessment scenarios. Finally, I applied BN to analyze a dataset with dichotomous attributes from Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and a dataset with polytomous attributes. The results supported that BN can yield model parameters with acceptable accuracy for formative diagnostic assessments under various conditions, namely different test lengths, sample sizes, Q matrix complexities, and attribute types. BN can also provide adequate estimation results when partial information on the attribute structure is provided. The comparison of BN and a CDM model highlights the flexibility of BN in handling different assessment types. Finally, the real data analyses showcased the diagnostic reports on student performance levels based on the BN approach.

description: We study the short-term effects of an intermediate mass black hole (IBH) on the orbit of star S2 (S02), the shortest-period star known to orbit the supermassive black hole (MBH) in the centre of the Milky Way. Near-infrared imaging and spectroscopic observations allow an accurate determination of the orbit of the star. Given S2's short orbital period and large eccentricity, general relativity (GR) needs to be taken into account, and its effects are potentially measurable with current technology. We show that perturbations due to an IBH in orbit around the MBH can produce a shift in the apoapsis of S2 that is as large or even larger than the GR shift. An IBH will also induce changes in the plane of S2's orbit at a level as large as one degree per period. We apply observational orbital fitting techniques to simulations of the S-cluster in the presence of an IBH and find that an IBH more massive than about 1000 solar masses at the distance of the S-stars will be detectable at the next periapse passage of S2, which will occur in 2018.

Determination of an Obligation by a Third Party and "Apparent Inequity"

description: Within the continental European civil law systems, the Austrian “Allgemeines Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch” (“ABGB”) is the second oldest civil law codification still remaining in force today. Dating back to the year 1812, it is rivaled only by the French “Code Civil” from 1804 in terms of age. Yet, despite its often antiquated language, its substance is still widely considered “modern”.1 Due to its flexible rules it seems well equipped to account for rapid technological and societal changes. Notwithstanding the ABGB’s long tradition and its merits, German civil law doctrine with its younger “Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch” (“BGB”) from 1900 would have a formative effect on Austrian law.

description: Background: Cortical priming is a promising adjuvant to conventional rehabilitation that can be used to facilitate neuroplasticity and improve behavioral outcomes. Acute aerobic exercise (AE) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are priming tools that have shown individual effects on corticomotor excitability and motor skill learning in healthy individuals and stroke. Although the utility of tDCS has been demonstrated in combination with other motor tasks, the neurophysiological effects of a combination of acute aerobic exercise and tDCS on the lower limb M1 are unknown. Here, we sought to investigate the effects of a combination of aerobic exercise and tDCS on corticomotor excitability, intracortical and transcallosal inhibition and motor function for the lower limb in stroke. Methods: In this cross over study individals with stroke underwent imental sessions i.e. aerobic exercise training (AE) + tDCS, AE and tDCS-only conditions. The exercise conditions included moderate intensity (50 – 65% of heart rate maximum) exercise on a recumbent stepper (25 minutes total, 5 minutes warm up and cool down). Anodal tDCS was administered to the lesioned lower limb M1. Electromyography data was obtained from bilateral tibialis anterior muscles in response to single pulse and paired pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Outcomes included TMS measures of area under the recruitment curve (AURC) recorded from intensities corresponding to 80% – 140% active motor threshold, short interval intracortical inhibition (SICI), ipsilateral silent period (iSP) (an index of transcallosal inhibition (TCI)) and reaction time before and after each condition. SICI and TCI were also measured 30 minutes after each condition. Results: Three individuals withdrew from the study due to personal reasons. Corticomotor excitability (AURC) for the lesioned M1 showed a significant increase for the AE + tDCS and tDCS conditions compared to the AE condition. There were no differences between the AE + tDCS and tDCS conditions. There were no significant differences for the non-lesioned M1. There were no statistically significant differences in SICI, iSP measures and reaction time between all three conditions. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that a single session of exercise and tDCS may increase excitability of the lesioned hemisphere, however these effects were specific to the descending corticomotor pathways. There were no alterations in excitability of the inter-hemispheric and intracortical circuits. Moreover, exercise and tDCS did not affect ankle motor control. Our protocol suggests that a combination of exercise and tDCS may be promising for stroke rehabilitation, but further work is required to validate our findings in a larger cohort.
