Community Based Programs: An Alternative Approach For Treating/Preventing Childhood Obesity In Low-Income and Ethnically Diverse Families
Creators: name: Lester, Shayla
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Research Question: Will using local community-programs in place of the current standards of diet and exercise counseling be more effective in reducing overweight and obesity among children ages 3-7 in low-income and ethnically diverse families? Hypothesis- We believe community programs are a more viable resource for low-income families due to their convenience and propensity to provide programming structured to accommodate the social and cultural factors of citizens within their neighborhoods. We expect to realize significant differences favoring the community-based program group over control group for all indicated measures. There may be an association between low counseling rates of physicians and percentage of minority patients, particularly those whose first language is one other than English. We expect to realize this association through the design of our study. Finally, we expect to see improvements in the diet and exercise knowledge base in participating patients
title:  Learning by caring: a proposal for a feminist perspective on clinical legal education
Creators: name: Rigo  , Enrica
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2023

description: Rather than maintaining a contraposition between the professional and the social justice model of legal clinics, the article proposes a care-oriented approach to clinical legal education. The learning by caring methodology provides a lens for a feminist perspective on clinical legal education that goes beyond the ‘feminization’ of the themes confronted in the clinics. Caring implies an approach to law and social justice that calls into question traditional paradigms of access to justice centered on legal decisions and rights adjudication. More than calling for problem solving approaches caring calls for medium- and long-term strategies that take charge of the problems at stake.

description: The main result of this short note is a generic version of Paz's conjecture on the lengths of generating sets in matrix algebras. Consider a generic g-tuple A=(A_1,..., A_g) of nxn matrices over a field. We show that whenever $g^{2d}\geq n^2$, the set of all words of degree 2d in A spans the full nxn matrix algebra. Our proofs use generic matrices, are combinatorial and depend on the construction of a special kind of directed multigraphs with few edge-disjoint walks.

description: Hyperfine-structures of highly charged ions (HCIs) are favourable spectroscopic targets for exploring fundamental physics as well as nuclear properties. Recent proposals of HCI atomic clocks highlight their importance, especially for many-electron HCIs, and they have been theoretically investigated by refining atomic-structure calculations. Nonetheless, no established spectroscopic method is currently available to verify these theoretical calculations. Here, we demonstrate hyperfine-structure-resolved laser spectroscopy of HCIs in an electron beam ion trap plasma, employing the magnetic-dipole transition in 4$d^{9}$5$s$ of $^{127}$I$^{7+}$. Ion-state manipulation by controlled electron collisions in the well-defined laboratory plasma enables laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy of trapped HCIs. The observed spectrum of evaporatively cooled ions under the low magnetic field shows remarkable features reflecting the hyperfine-structures. The present demonstration using the combined optical and plasma approach provides a new benchmark for state-of-the-art atomic calculations of hyperfine-structures in many-electron HCIs and offers possibilities for a variety of unexploited experiments.

description: We report the low temperature magnetic properties of the pyrochlore Pr$_2$Hf$_2$O$_7$. Polycrystalline and single-crystal samples are investigated using time-of-flight neutron spectroscopy and macroscopic measurements, respectively. The crystal-field splitting produces a non-Kramers doublet ground state for Pr$^{3+}$, with Ising-like anisotropy. Below 0.5 K ferromagnetic correlations develop, which suggests that the system enters a spin ice-like state associated with the metamagnetic behavior observed at $μ_0H_c\sim2.4$~T. In this regime, the development of a discrete inelastic excitation in the neutron spectra indicates the appearance of spin dynamics which are likely related to cooperative quantum fluctuations.

Absolute and Relative Risk of Aggressive Prostate Cancer in Men with a Positive Family History: A systematic-review
Creators: name: Allen, Ian
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Background: In May 2012, the United States Preventive Services Task Force recommended against PSA-based screening in men of all ages, regardless of race or family history. However, though risk of harms outweighs potential benefits in men in the general population, men at higher risk of dying from prostate cancer may have a larger mortality benefit. Although previous reviews have demonstrated that family history of prostate cancer in a first-degree relative is a risk factor for overall prostate cancer, this may not correspond to a higher risk of death. In this review we assess family history as a risk factor for aggressive prostate cancer to determine if men with family history have a potentially larger mortality benefit than average risk men. Purpose: To determine the relative and absolute risk of aggressive prostate cancer in men with at least one affected first-degree relative Data Sources: MEDLINE and Embase (search dates 1992 to June 2012), recent systematic reviews, reference lists of retrieved articles and suggestions from experts. Study Selection: English-language, randomized, controlled trials, cohort studies, case-control studies and cross-sectional studies meeting eligibility criteria Data Extraction: All studies were reviewed, abstracted and rated for quality using the STROBE criteria and supplemented with guidelines provided by Deets et al. Data Synthesis: Three fair quality cohort studies, one fair quality and six poor quality case-control studies and one fair quality cross-sectional study demonstrated mixed results of difference of risk magnitude for aggressive prostate cancer in men with family history of prostate cancer in a first-degree relative compared to men without family history. In cohort studies reporting increased relative risk, we calculated absolute risk and attributable risk to be small. Limitations: There is limited evidence from good quality studies addressing aggressive prostate cancer risk in men with family history. Use of surrogates, inability to assess harms and variations among study populations by region, age, co-variates and prior screening rates limits generalizability. Conclusion: Evidence is insufficient to suggest an increase in relative or absolute risk of aggressive prostate cancer in men with an affected relative compared to men in the general population without determining family history in greater detail (age of diagnosis, cause of death, intent of treatment, etc.).
Deployed model of extremal system operation for solving optimal management problems

description: The reduced, simplified registration mathematical model of the system operation, obtained by scaling the registration signals of the basic model and determining the sum of the reduced, integrated flow rates by the input and output of the system under study was constructed. The studies of this traditional, for today model have shown the problem, associated with the existing approach in operations identification. As a result of using the agent model and system approach, it was found that registration model of the operation is not based on the data, actually describing the process under investigation. The new idea of the studied process has allowed to develop a method for constructing the reduced, deployed model of the operation. The deployed model of the operation allows to get access to data of operations at each point of the model of the operation process. The developed approach to constructing the mathematical model of the reduced deployed operation allows more accurate identification of the operation and its use to obtain new scientific results in the field of operations research.

Confinement in de Sitter Space and the Swampland

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The relation between confinement scale $Λ_c$ of a gauge theory and the Hubble scale $H$ of the background quasi de Sitter space, required to satisfy the Festina Lente criteria ($Λ_c \gtrsim H$) from swampland principles, are investigated for a holographic theory using the Karch-Randall setup. A purely gravitational description admits unstable de Sitter extremum, and the requirement of Festina Lente translates into requirements of a perturbative gravitational dual, but prohibits an arbitrarily small hierarchy for other parameters fixed. With an additional scalar sector, the theory admits metastable de Sitter minima, and the requirement of Festina Lente imposes constraints on the parameters. For some range of parameters where Festina Lente could be constraining, the de Sitter minimum is very close to decay, thus invalidating the applicability. Further consequences of the finite lifetime of the dS extrema and the relation with related swampland conjectures are investigated, and no contradictions are found. These results make case for the consistency and utility of the Karch-Randall setup, clarify the implications of Festina Lente for holographic theories, and connect Festina Lente to other swampland conjectures.

description: We introduce the radiative transfer code Sweep for the cosmological simulation suite Arepo. Sweep is a discrete ordinates method in which the radiative transfer equation is solved under the infinite speed of light, steady state assumption by a transport sweep across the entire computational grid. Since Arepo is based on an adaptive, unstructured grid, the dependency graph induced by the sweep dependencies of the grid cells is non-trivial. In order to solve the topological sorting problem in a distributed manner, we employ a task-based-parallelism approach. The main advantage of the sweep method is that the computational cost scales only with the size of the grid, and is independent of the number of sources or the distribution of sources in the computational domain, which is an advantage for radiative transfer in cosmological simulations, where there are large numbers of sparsely distributed sources. We successfully apply the code to a number of physical tests such as the expansion of HII regions, the formation of shadows behind dense objects, the scattering of light, as well as its behavior in the presence of periodic boundary conditions. In addition, we measure its computational performance with a focus on highly parallel, large-scale simulations.

description: For the classification of topological phases of matter, an important consideration is whether a system is spinless or spinful, as these two classes have distinct symmetry algebra that gives rise to fundamentally different topological phases. However, only recently has it been realized theoretically that in the presence of gauge symmetry, the algebraic structure of symmetries can be projectively represented, which possibly enables the switch between spinless and spinful topological phases. Here, we report the first experimental demonstration of this idea by realizing spinful topological phases in "spinless" acoustic crystals with projective space-time inversion symmetry. In particular, we realize a DIII-class one-dimensional topologically gapped phase characterized by a 2Z winding number, which features Kramers degenerate bands and Kramers pair of topological boundary modes. Our work thus overcomes a fundamental constraint on topological phases by spin classes.

Asthma Pharmacotherapy Adherence Interventions for Adult African-Americans: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Riley, Isaretta
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Background: Adult African American (AA) asthmatics have high rates of nonadherence to pharmacotherapy; however little is known about interventions to improve adherence in this population. Purpose: To systematically review the literature on patient and family-level interventions aimed at improving pharmacotherapy adherence in adult AA asthmatics. Data Sources: MEDLINE®, EMBASE, Web of Science, and CINAHL from inception to February 2016; reference lists of key studies on this topic Study Selection: English-language studies enrolling adult AA asthmatics from the US comparing patient and/or family-level interventions to improve asthma pharmacotherapy with usual care, no intervention or another active intervention. Data Extraction: Two investigators independently selected, extracted data from and rated the risk of bias of relevant studies. Data Synthesis: 1,460 unique abstracts were identified from all sources, 3 randomized controlled trials (RCT) and 1 pre/post study met inclusion criteria. Studies ranged from 17-333 participants who were predominately middle-aged (33-47 years), AA (71%-93%), and women (69%-82%). The 3 RCTs enrolled patients with persistent asthma and evaluated three different types of interventions: problem solving, self-efficacy, and the use of patient advocates. All 3 compared the intervention with an active control featuring minimal asthma education, and we rated all three as having a medium risk of bias. None of the RCTs found a statistically significant improvement in adherence, FEV1, asthma control, asthma self-efficacy, or health care utilization outcomes. The RCT assessing self-efficacy (N=42) found a clinical and statistically significant improvement in asthma quality of life (adjusted difference between groups: 1.8, p=0.002). The pre/post study (N=17) evaluated a pharmacist-led educational intervention enrolling hospitalized asthmatics; we rated this study as having a high risk of bias primarily due to selection bias. Compared with baseline, participants had improved adherence at 6 months (absolute increase adherence rate 41%, p=0.0175) and reduced asthma-related ED and hospital visits (absolute reduction 1.23 visits per person, p=0.0016). Limitations: Small, diverse body of literature with some methodological limitations such as attrition, selection bias and measurement bias; possible publication bias Conclusion: Few studies assessing asthma adherence interventions focused on adult AA populations. Limited data from one RCT suggests that interventions focused on self-efficacy improve asthma related quality of life compared with controls. Although one pre/post study found improved adherence with a pharmacist-led intervention, none of the 3 included RCTs demonstrated improved adherence in participants randomized to an active intervention compared with controls.

A unified understanding of scale-resolving simulations and near-wall modeling of turbulent flows using optimal finite element projections

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: The main objective of this work is to develop a unified framework that can be used as a lens to quantitatively assess and augment a wide range of coarse-grained models of turbulence, viz. large eddy simulations (LES), hybrid Reynolds-averaged/LES methods and wall-modeled (WM)LES. Taking a turbulent channel flow as an example, optimality is assessed in the wall-resolved limit, the hybrid RANS/LES limit and the WMLES limit, via projections at different resolutions suitable for these approaches. These optimal a priori estimates are shown to have similar characteristics to existing a posteriori solutions reported in the literature. Consistent accuracy metrics are developed for scale-resolving methods using the optimal solution as a reference, and evaluations are performed. We further characterize the slip velocity in WMLES in terms of the near-wall under-resolution and develop a universal scaling relationship. Insights from the a-priori tests are used to augment existing slip-based wall models. Various a posteriori tests reveal superior performance over the dynamic slip wall model. Guidance for the development of improved slip-wall models is provided, including a target for the dynamic procedure.

description: Tracer dynamics in the Symmetric Exclusion Process, where hardcore particles diffuse on an infinite one-dimensional lattice, is a paradigmatic model of anomalous diffusion. While the equilibrium situation has received a lot of attention, the case where the tracer is driven by an external force, which provides a minimal model of nonequilibrium transport in confined crowded environments, remains largely unexplored. Indeed, the only available analytical results concern the means of both the position of the tracer and the lattice occupation numbers in its frame of reference, and higher-order moments but only in the high-density limit. Here, we provide a general hydrodynamic framework that allows us to determine the first cumulants of the bath-tracer correlations and of the tracer's position in function of the driving force, up to quadratic order (beyond linear response). This result constitutes the first determination of the bias-dependence of the variance of a driven tracer in the SEP for an arbitrary density. The framework presented here can be applied, beyond the SEP, to more general configurations of a driven tracer in interaction with obstacles in one dimension.

A deterministic model is introduced with the Michaelis-Menten dynamics and the intercellular exchange of substance. The influence of TNTs are considered as a functional perturbation of the main communication and treated as the matrix nearness problems. We analyze communication integrity in terms of the \emph{pseudospectra} of the exchange, to find the \emph{distance to instability}. The threshold of TNTs influence is computed for Newman-Gastner and Erdős-Rényi gap junction (GJ) networks.

Engagement in and Effectiveness of Clinic-Community Partnerships for Childhood Obesity Management: A Systematic Review and Retrospective Cohort Study
Creators: name: Andrews, Maria
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Background: Obesity in childhood is a critical challenge being faced across clinical, public health, and community sectors. This project aims to evaluate various attempts at reducing the burden of obesity in childhood through collaborative clinic-community programming. Methods: The first piece of this Masters Paper is a limited systematic review of community-based interventions implemented in collaboration with health systems and compared to clinical care alone. This review was guided by protocol laid out by the Cochrane and GRADE working groups. The second component is a retrospective cohort study evaluating the attendance patterns of children participating in a community wellness program in Durham, North Carolina. Findings: Evidence for the superiority of clinic-community interventions for the reduction of child obesity over that of clinical care alone is limited. It is not clear that weight status or quality of life improves to a greater extent in these collaborative programs than in those involving only medical management. Nonetheless, a retrospective cohort study illustrates that community-based programs established in part by clinical groups are feasible and well attended by diverse groups of individuals, albeit to differing degrees. Further research is needed to assess the efficacy of this intervention and to discern what if any components of these integrated interventions are most beneficial.

Im Rahmen einer gendered narratology werden spezifische Konfigurierungstypen modernen Erzählens identifiziert, die den Fokus der Analyse auf ökonomisierte und vergeschlechtlichte Strukturierungsweisen verschieben. Anhand von Gottfried Kellers Roman „Martin Salander“ (1886) werden die Materialisierungsvorgänge von Geld am männlichen Körper nachgezeichnet, um abschließend herauszuarbeiten, wie dieser Männlichkeitsentwurf mit der Struktur des Romans und dessen Schluss korreliert. Ziel ist es, dekonstruierende Erzählweisen in Kellers Werk auszumachen, die in der Verschaltung von Geschlecht, Geld und Text bereits frühe Formen der Kapitalismus- und Vergeschlechtlichungskritik offenbaren.

description: The study presents the finding that the bonus program raised math achievement in schools with a small number of teachers with tested students, although these impacts are small and only marginally significant in the program’s second year (the effect in the first year is the finding chosen for the SCORE program). This reflects the following statement from the paper's abstract: "Although overall the program had little effect on student achievement, we show that in schools where incentives to free ride were weakest, the program led to small increases in math achievement." The claim is tested with an analysis of a bonus program in New York City schools. In 2007, close to 200 schools were randomly selected from a group of high-poverty schools. These schools could earn school-wide bonuses by surpassing goals primarily based on student achievement. The dependent variable--average math test scores--is regressed on an indicator for selection into the bonus program’s treatment group, the interaction of the treatment indicator with an indicator for schools in the bottom quartile of the number of teachers with tested students, and controls (average math score in 2007; school type indicators; percentage of students who are English Language Learners, in special education, Title 1 free lunch recipients, and minorities; and performance under the New York City accountability system). The model supplying evidence for the SCORE program is the Year 1 (2007-2008) effects in Model 6 of Table 1, and the effect of interest is the treatment effect for schools in the first quartile of number of teachers with tested students. For schools at the bottom of the distribution of the number of teachers with tested students, the authors estimate a positive effect of the bonus program on math achievement in the first year. In 2008, the bonus program resulted in a 3.2-point (0.08 student-level standard deviation) increase in math achievement (treatment effect estimate = 3.225, robust SE = 1.395, p < .05). The focal test in the original paper is: treatment effect estimate = 3.225, robust SE = 1.395, p < .05

description: Constructing a propagation map from a set of scattered measurements finds important applications in many areas, such as localization, spectrum monitoring and management. Classical interpolation-type methods have poor performance in regions with very sparse measurements. Recent advance in matrix completion has the potential to reconstruct a propagation map from sparse measurements, but the spatial resolution is limited. This paper proposes to integrate interpolation with matrix completion to exploit both the spatial correlation and the potential low rank structure of the propagation map. The proposed method first enriches matrix observations using interpolation, and develops the statistics of the interpolation error based on a local polynomial regression model. Then, two uncertainty-aware matrix completion algorithms are developed to exploit the interpolation error statistics. It is numerically demonstrated that the proposed method outperforms Kriging and other state-of-the-art schemes, and reduces the mean squared error (MSE) of propagation map reconstruction by 10%-50% for a medium to large number of measurements.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Healthcare: Now and for the Future – investing into emerging technology for rapid vaccination delivery in Healthcare, Globally and especially in rural Africa

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

description: The importance of this paper is based on the change occurring in industries outside of healthcare based on the emergence of new capabilities and processes. Healthcare and public health are also undergoing changes to their delivery operating models, which results from the increased testing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) across underdeveloped and vast African landscapes to transport rapidly, vaccines and other medicines. (HCS, 2017) Public health, healthcare organizations, and rural communities will benefit from a proposal to use unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs) as a rapid delivery platform for vaccines. (USAID, 2017) Specifically, UAVs could be used across Eastern and sub-Saharan Africa to tackle diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, Hepatitis B, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and others that are endemic in Africa. (Thomas, 2018) Further, it is postulated that robust and sustainable vaccine delivery programs will result from implementation of programs that will require high capital investment funding through strategic partnerships across different institutions, to include African governments.
Asymmetric interiors for small black holes

description: We develop the representation of infalling observers and bulk fields in the CFT as a way to understand the black hole interior in AdS. We first discuss properties of CFT states which are dual to black holes. We then show that in the presence of a Killing horizon bulk fields can be decomposed into pieces we call ingoing and outgoing. The ingoing field admits a simple operator representation in the CFT, even inside a small black hole at late times, which leads to a simple CFT description of infalling geodesics. This means classical infalling observers will experience the classical geometry in the interior. The outgoing piece of the field is more subtle. In an eternal two-sided geometry it can be represented as an operator on the left CFT. In a stable one-sided geometry it can be described using entanglement via the PR construction. But in an evaporating black hole trans-horizon entanglement breaks down at the Page time, which means that for old black holes the PR construction fails and the outgoing field does not see local geometry. This picture of the interior allows the CFT to reconcile unitary Hawking evaporation with the classical experience of infalling observers.
