description: Abstract Interventions for children with obesity show modest improvements in body mass index (BMI) and long-term outcomes. Data are limited describing the experiences of families of children with obesity in clinic-based treatment. This scoping review seeks to answer the question: What is known about existing studies in clinic-based child obesity treatment as reported by families and children? Families report a lack of tailored interventions for individual needs and resources. Barriers and facilitators to treatment recommendations encompass 1) structural; 2) financial; 3) patient and family issues; and 4) personal behaviors, motivation, and expectations. Findings show a limitation in the application of uniform BMI-related measures identifying children with severe obesity and describe non-maternal experiences. Future research should identify variables which impact outcomes, include qualitative studies, and focus on children with severe obesity and fathers’/siblings’ perspectives. Researchers and healthcare providers should use the BMIp95 to accurately track children with severe obesity and evaluate interventions. Severe obesity, defined as a body mass index (BMI) >120th percent of the 95th BMI percentile for age and sex, is the fastest growing subcategory of obesity among children and adolescents. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to 1) document the experiences of parents and children with severe obesity who attend a clinic-based obesity treatment program, 2) explore how parents and children manage the treatment of severe obesity on a day-to-day basis, and 3) evaluate the applicability of the family management styles framework (FMSF) to families and children with severe obesity. With purposeful sampling, we recruited 15 families (14 children age 12-17, 17 parents) from a weight management clinic. One-time in-home face to face interviews were conducted with parents and children. Both parents and children described day-to-day management as a challenge impacting parent-child and sibling relationships. They desired sustained support from health care providers, specific instruction for physical activity, and reported experiences of weight-based stigma and weight-bias from partners, peers, and health care providers. Children with severe obesity have complex physical and psychological needs impacting effective management and family life. Interventions should target increased peer support, provide a tailored exercise component, and aim to reduce the effects of weight-based stigma.

description: A major hurdle to clinical translation of brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) is that current decoders, which are trained from a small quantity of recent data, become ineffective when neural recording conditions subsequently change. We tested whether a decoder could be made more robust to future neural variability by training it to handle a variety of recording conditions sampled from months of previously collected data as well as synthetic training data perturbations. We developed a new multiplicative recurrent neural network BMI decoder that successfully learned a large variety of neural-to- kinematic mappings and became more robust with larger training datasets. When tested with a non-human primate preclinical BMI model, this decoder was robust under conditions that disabled a state-of-the-art Kalman filter based decoder. These results validate a new BMI strategy in which accumulated data history is effectively harnessed, and may facilitate reliable daily BMI use by reducing decoder retraining downtime.

description: We study the effect of a hot and dense medium on the binding energy of hadronic molecules with open-charm mesons. We focus on a recent chiral quark-model-based prediction of a molecular state in the $N \bar D$ system. We analyze how the two-body thresholds and the hadron-hadron interactions are modified when quark and meson masses and quark-meson couplings change in a function of the temperature and baryon density according to predictions of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. We find that in some cases the molecular binding is enhanced in medium as compared to their free-space binding. We discuss the consequences of our findings for the search for exotic hadrons in high-energy heavy-ion collisions as well as in the forthcoming facilities FAIR or J-PARC.

Policy Shifts: Evidence from Inflation Targeting and Social Security Reforms

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This dissertation investigates the effects of key policy changes affecting the global macroeconomy, on the one hand, and social security income of older workers on the other. While the settings of the two chapters are quite different, they highlight the fact that policy shifts play a major role in either maintaining the stability of the macroeconomy or altering the income path of ordinary workers. The first chapter asks whether inflation targeting (IT) “just got lucky” in the sense that its adoption just happened to coincide with a more tranquil macroeconomic environment or whether it can be credited with contributing to a more stable macroeconomic structure. Using a relatively novel time-series approach, I find that the observed moderation in inflation volatility may be attributed largely to a more stable structure associated with the introduction of IT and less to the consequence of milder shocks. Meanwhile, the observed tranquility in the business cycle is driven solely by much less violent shocks which have offset what appears to be a less stable structure seemingly arising from the IT framework. Results provide indirect evidence that the achievement of low and stable inflation may have come at the expense of output stabilization, as predicted by theory. Meanwhile, the second chapter revisits the 1983 Social Security reforms to examine how a large and potentially unanticipated wealth shock affects elderly workers. Using difference-in-differences model which exploits the nonlinear design of the reforms, I find that both male and female workers responded to the policy change by altering their labor supply, but only when they very close to the normal retirement age. In addition, there is evidence that affected workers also responded through higher savings prior to retirement. Nonetheless, the reforms appear to have disproportionate effects with some lower-educated workers remaining in the labor force in later years. Results suggest that enhancing public understanding of the implications of future reforms could mitigate potential adverse effects particularly on vulnerable subpopulations.

description: Multiparty session calculi have been recently equipped with security requirements, in order to guarantee properties such as access control and leak freedom. However, the proposed security requirements seem to be overly restrictive in some cases. In particular, a party is not allowed to communicate any kind of public information after receiving a secret information. This does not seem justified in case the two pieces of information are totally unrelated. The aim of the present paper is to overcome this restriction, by designing a type discipline for a simple multiparty session calculus, which classifies messages according to their topics and allows unrestricted sequencing of messages on independent topics.

Improving the Efficiency and Validity of the Selection Process for General Surgery Residency
Creators: name: Yeh, Daniel Dante
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Background: The application and interview process to match in general surgery is time- and labor-intensive. Different training programs seek to produce different types of graduates and therefore select different types of candidates. The goal of this thesis project is to improve the efficiency of the residency selection process by: 1) achieving consensus on the “ideal” general surgery applicant for our unique training program; and 2) developing a method to identify inaccuracies on the application. Methods: A modified Delphi survey was conducted with faculty surgeons and resident trainees at the University of Miami to determine the most highly valued characteristics. Three iterative rounds were conducted to identify and rank the importance of factors used for applicant ranking. Intraclass correlation was used to calculate level of agreement. Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) forms for all interview candidates were scrutinized by a medical librarian for the prevalence of inaccurate information. Inaccurate author order without applicant author promotion was not considered a “serious” inaccuracy. Results: Faculty and residents placed high value on USMLE Step 1, USMLE Step 2 CK, medical school grades, and letters of recommendation. Faculty also valued previous work history, leadership, and high-level achievement in an extracurricular activity, especially sports. Both groups value professionalism, personality, emotional intelligence, grit, work ethic, and the ability to work as a team. An excellent level of agreement was achieved. A total of 192 applicant ERAS forms were scrutinized for inaccuracies. After removing “non-serious” inaccuracies, there remained 25 (13% of 192) applicants with a serious inaccuracy, including author self-promotion, miscategorization, non-authorship of cited existing publication, and citation of a non-verifiable publication. Multiple logistic regression analysis did not reveal any demographic variables independently associated with any inaccuracy or a serious inaccuracy. Conclusions: An excellent level of agreement was achieved by an iterative group consensus technique to define the ideal general surgery residency applicant to our unique training institution. Nearly one in six (13%) applicants to general surgery residency training were found to have a “serious” inaccuracy in reporting their publications on the ERAS application.

Influence of Lumbar Fusion Alignment and Sitting Postures on the Biomechanics of Adjacent Segments
Creators: name: Blank, Kenneth R
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Progressive adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) leading to new pain and disability is a complication of lumbar fusions with an annual incidence of 2%-3% and 10-year prevalence of 20%-25%. The long-term goal of this research is to improve outcomes of lumbar fusion surgery by including the patient’s preoperative spinal and pelvic alignment, spinal flexibility, and occupation in the surgical planning process. Individuals suffering from chronic low back pain (LBP) may require spinal fusion when other modalities fail to bring symptomatic relief.1 Unfortunately, a subset of fused patients develop progressive adjacent segment degeneration (ASD), that sometimes requires chronic use of pain medications or further surgery.2-6 The proposed study acquired data to delineate how patient-specific factors such as active flexion-extension range of motion, lumbar fusion levels, fusion alignment, and postural parameters (pelvic incidence, sacral slope, lumbar lordosis) influence stresses in adjacent segments during standing and sitting postures. A patient’s ability to make up for the lost mobility in fused segments may depend on the motion available from the remaining segments with symptomatic patients likely being those with the least available motion. The central hypothesis is that adjacent segment stresses will depend on patient-specific spinal flexibility, patients’ spinopelvic alignment in post-fusion postures, lumbar fusion levels, and fusion alignment. Part one of the experiment measured standing and sitting sagittal spinal alignments in 9 patients with fusions in the L3-S1 region. We did experiments on 4 cadaveric specimens and specimen-specific kinematic modeling to assess adjacent segment stresses. The results of the human subject’s study and the cadaver study support the claims that post-fusion sitting may be a risk factor for adjacent segment level breakdown (increased degeneration). However, more evidence and a larger sample size is needed in both aims to support these outcomes further.

description: We consider conformal actions of simple Lie groups on compact Lorentzian manifolds. Mainly motivated by the Lorentzian version of a conjecture of Lichnerowicz, we establish the alternative: Either the group acts isometrically for some metric in the conformal class, or the manifold is conformally flat - that is, everywhere locally conformally diffeomorphic to Minkowski space-time. When the group is non-compact and not locally isomorphic to SO(1,n), n>1, we derive global conclusions, extending a theorem of Frances and Zeghib to some simple Lie groups of real-rank 1. This result is also a first step towards a classification of the conformal groups of compact Lorentz manifolds, analogous to a classification of their isometry groups due to Adams, Stuck and, independently, Zeghib at the end of the 1990's.

description: My research focuses on a variety of topics on individual behavioral changes to external changes. By exploring how individual responses to policy interventions and environmental shocks, I aim to provide policy implications on how to promote health behavior and how to mitigate negative health impacts at an individual level. How individual responses to external shocks such as policy changes and environmental shocks has been less studied in the health economics and health policy literature. My research questions are important as a matter of informing implications for policy especially when the impacts of policy changes or environmental shocks on health are unclear.
Beauty and Virtue in the Moral Theory of David Hume and Adam Smith

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The relationship between ethical and aesthetic values has remained an important topic of philosophical debate from the time of the Enlightenment to the present day. This dissertation examines the distinctive accounts of this relationship found in the works of David Hume and Adam Smith. The first two chapters consider Hume’s sentimentalist theories of beauty and virtue and argue that, although Hume does not entirely assimilate these two forms of value, he does trace them back to a common psychological source and maintains that they influence our actions and judgments in remarkably similar ways. The third and fourth chapters takes up Smith’s contribution to this debate and argue that, unlike his predecessor, Smith does not grant either the aesthetic sentiments or the faculty of taste any essential role in moral judgment. The fifth chapter considers each thinker’s response to the question of what impact moral considerations ought to have on our aesthetic judgments. The final three chapters argue that Smith’s account of the relationship between aesthetics and morals enjoys certain advantages over Hume’s due to the former’s greater willingness to stress the distinctions between these two domains of value. The dissertation concludes by laying out some of the potential attractions of Smith’s account for contemporary moral and aesthetic theorists working in the sentimentalist tradition.

description: Phasers pose an interesting synchronization mechanism that generalizes many collective synchronization patterns seen in parallel programming languages, including barriers, clocks, and point-to-point synchronization using latches or semaphores. This work characterizes scheduling constraints on phaser operations, by relating the execution state of two tasks that operate on the same phaser. We propose a formalization of Habanero phasers, May-Happen-In-Parallel, and Happens-Before relations for phaser operations, and show that these relations conform with the semantics. Our formalization and proofs are fully mechanized using the Coq proof assistant, and are available online.

Rheological, Mechanical and Physico-chemical Behavior of Fibrous Materials
Creators: name: Kolbasov, Alexander D
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The goal of this dissertation is to widen the understanding of various physical mechanisms associated with fibrous materials. These aspects involve the production, characterization and application of said materials. In the first part of the thesis the rheological behavior of blood is investigated. In particular, its viscoelastic behavior which is also an essential requirement for the spinnability of a material for fiber formation. The viscoelastic behavior of blood has significant applications in forensic science and crime scene investigation. Several novel experimental setups were designed, built and use to form threads and fibers of viscoelastic liquids and to study their behavior. In the second part, it was shown that the novel fiber forming process of solution blowing can be scaled up to industrial levels. This development leads to a significant increase in the nanofiber production rate, which holds great promise for such fields as water treatment and energy storage. In the third part, a novel application of solution blowing for energy storage applications is described. Solution blowing is used to form ceramic nanofibers for use in batteries as solid electrolytes. The effect of salts on the viscoelasticity and spinnability of the spun solution is investigated and the performance of the produced solid electrolyte is characterized. In the fourth part, solution blowing is used to produce multiple novel fibrous materials for applications in water purification. Nanofibers containing various biomaterials are spun into large membranes and their capacity for heavy metal adsorption is elucidated. A novel kinetic model for adsorption on such membranes is also developed and verified experimentally. In the last part, a novel method for the characterization of thin fibrous materials, is developed. The method allows for measurements of such mechanical parameters as Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of fibrous materials under compression in the off-plane direction.

description: We investigate the high-speed ($v >$ 1000 km s$^{-1}$) extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) wave associated with an X1.2 flare and coronal mass ejection (CME) from NOAA active region 11283 on 2011 September 6 (SOL2011-09-06T22:12). This EUV wave features peculiar on-disk signatures, in particular we observe an intermittent "disappearance" of the front for 120 s in SDO/AIA 171, 193, 211 Å data, whereas the 335 Å filter, sensitive to hotter plasmas (T$\sim$2.5 MK), shows a continuous evolution of the wave front. The eruption was also accompanied by localized coronal dimming regions. We exploit the multi-point quadrature position of SDO and STEREO-A, to make a thorough analysis of the EUV wave evolution, with respect to its kinematics and amplitude evolution and reconstruct the SDO line-of-sight (LOS) direction of the identified coronal dimming regions in STEREO-A. We show that the observed intensities of the dimming regions in SDO/AIA depend on the structures that are lying along their LOS and are the combination of their individual intensities, e.g. the expanding CME body, the enhanced EUV wave and CME front. In this context, we conclude that the intermittent disappearance of the EUV wave in the AIA 171, 193, 211 Å filters, which are channels sensitive to plasma with temperatures below $\sim$2 MK is also caused by such LOS integration effects. These observations clearly demonstrate that single-view image data provide us with limited insight to correctly interpret coronal features.

description: The solar wind plasma is a fully ionized and turbulent gas ejected by the outer layers of the solar corona at very high speed, mainly composed by protons and electrons, with a small percentage of helium nuclei and a significantly lower abundance of heavier ions. Since particle collisions are practically negligible, the solar wind is typically not in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium. Such a complex system must be described through self-consistent and fully nonlinear models, taking into account its multi-species composition and turbulence. We use a kinetic hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell numerical code to reproduce the turbulent energy cascade down to ion kinetic scales, in typical conditions of the uncontaminated solar wind plasma, with the aim of exploring the differential kinetic dynamics of the dominant ion species, namely protons and alpha particles. We show that the response of different species to the fluctuating electromagnetic fields is different. In particular, a significant differential heating of alphas with respect to protons is observed. Interestingly, the preferential heating process occurs in spatial regions nearby the peaks of ion vorticity and where strong deviations from thermodynamic equilibrium are recovered. Moreover, by feeding a simulator of a top-hat ion spectrometer with the output of the kinetic simulations, we show that measurements by such spectrometer planned on board the Turbulence Heating ObserveR (THOR mission), a candidate for the next M4 space mission of the European Space Agency, can provide detailed three-dimensional ion velocity distributions, highlighting important non-Maxwellian features. These results support the idea that future space missions will allow a deeper understanding of the physics of the interplanetary medium.

description: Wetting phenomena is observable in everyday commercial products and has been studied extensively for centuries. Extreme wetting phenomena (super repellency or super wettability), however, has come to light in the past decade and researchers have explored countless ways of making artificial surfaces that mimic the behavior of several naturally-occurring, extreme-wettability surfaces, such as the Lotus leaf, rose petal, butterfly wings, etc. Many works have looked into explaining the fundamental nature or behavior of these surfaces, and what liquid management problems these surfaces offer potential solutions to. In general, man-made liquid-repellent surfaces are created by artificially modulating the surface chemistry and surface roughness of a substrate (low surface energy and multi-scale surface roughness) through a variety of techniques, such as laser-ablation, chemical etching, ultraviolet radiation (UV) treatment, chemical functionalization, or coating processes. Regardless of how these extreme-wettability surfaces are made, they have a unique ability to solve engineering problems (e.g. drag reduction, promoting corrosion resistance, enhancing condensation, etc.) in ways that are not possible by using traditional methods. Additionally, researchers have found ways of making man-made surfaces that feature spatially-patterned regions of varying wettability (a.k.a. wettability-patterned surfaces) to aid in solving even more complex engineering problems, such as microfluidic tasks and point-of-care (POC) diagnostics. The focus of this dissertation is to present simple ways of making composite coatings from various materials to demonstrate repellency to a variety of liquids. Material selection and processing methods for several coating formulations are presented along with their potential for solving real-world engineering problems. Various experimental techniques (e.g. contact angle measurements, physicochemical methods) are used to characterize each of the coatings and to explain the underlying working mechanisms of each material system. This research offers insight into fundamental aspects of extreme surface wettability, and guidance on how to tailor a material system through appropriate material selection and processing techniques best suited for a variety of liquid handling applications.

description: The paper presents a data-driven model of self-adaptivity for multiparty sessions. System choreography is prescribed by a global type. Participants are incarnated by processes associated with monitors, which control their behaviour. Each participant can access and modify a set of global data, which are able to trigger adaptations in the presence of critical changes of values. The use of the parallel composition for building global types, monitors and processes enables a significant degree of flexibility: an adaptation step can dynamically reconfigure a set of participants only, without altering the remaining participants, even if the two groups communicate.

description: Low-background experiments with stable ion beams are an important tool for putting the model of stellar hydrogen, helium, and carbon burning on a solid experimental foundation. The pioneering work in this regard has been done by the LUNA collaboration at Gran Sasso, using a 0.4 MV accelerator. In the present contribution, the status of the project for a higher-energy underground accelerator is reviewed. Two tunnels of the Felsenkeller underground site in Dresden, Germany, are currently being refurbished for the installation of a 5 MV high-current Pelletron accelerator. Construction work is on schedule and expected to complete in August 2017. The accelerator will provide intense, 50 uA, beams of 1H+, 4He+, and 12C+ ions, enabling research on astrophysically relevant nuclear reactions with unprecedented sensitivity.

description: Active regions are the most prominent manifestations of solar magnetic fields; their generation and dissipation are fundamental problems in solar physics. Light bridges are commonly present during sunspot decay, but a comprehensive picture of their role in the removal of photospheric magnetic field is still missing. We study the three dimensional configuration of a sunspot and in particular its light bridge during one of the last stages of its decay. We present the magnetic and thermodynamical stratification inferred from full Stokes inversions of the photospheric Si I 10827 Å and Ca I 10839 Å lines obtained with the GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph of the GREGOR telescope at Observatorio del Teide, Tenerife, Spain. The analysis is complemented by a study of continuum images covering the disk passage of the active region, which are provided by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory. The sunspot shows a light bridge with penumbral continuum intensity that separates the central umbra from a smaller umbra. We find that in this region the magnetic field lines form a canopy with lower magnetic field strength in the inner part. The photospheric light bridge is dominated by gas pressure (high-$β$), as opposed to the surrounding umbra where the magnetic pressure is higher. A convective flow is observed in the light bridge. This flow is able to bend the magnetic field lines and to produce field reversals. The field lines close above the light bridge and become as vertical and strong as in the surrounding umbra. We conclude that it develops because of two highly magnetized regions which come closer during the sunspot evolution.
