HIV-positive Malawian women with young children prefer overweight body sizes and link body size with ability to breastfeed
Creators: name: Croffut, Samantha
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Before the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) program was widely implemented in Malawi, HIV-positive women associated exclusive breastfeeding with accelerated disease progression and felt that an HIV-positive woman could more successfully breastfeed if she had a larger body size. The relationship between breastfeeding practices and body image perceptions has not been explored in the context of the Option B+ PMTCT program, which offers lifelong antiretroviral therapy. We conducted in-depth interviews with 64 HIV-positive women in Lilongwe District, Malawi to investigate body size perceptions, how perceptions of HIV and body size influence infant feeding practices, and differences in perceptions among women in PMTCT and those lost to follow-up (LTFU). Women were asked about current, preferred, and healthy body size perceptions using nine body image silhouettes of varying sizes, and vignettes about underweight and overweight HIV-positive characters were used to elicit discussion of breastfeeding practices. More than 80% of women preferred an overweight, obese, or morbidly obese silhouette, and most women (83%) believed that an obese or morbidly obese silhouette was healthy. While nearly all women believed that an HIV-positive overweight woman could exclusively breastfeed, only about half of women thought that an HIV-positive underweight woman could exclusively breastfeed. These results suggest that perceptions of body size may influence beliefs about a woman’s ability to breastfeed. Given the association between obesity and risk of non-communicable disease, we recommend that counseling and health education for HIV-positive Malawian women focus on culturally sensitive healthy weight messaging and its relationship with breastfeeding practices.
Search for anomalous single top quark production in association with a photon in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The result of a search for flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) through single top quark production in association with a photon is presented. The study is based on proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV using data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.8 inverse femtobarns. The search for t gamma events where t to Wb and W to mu nu is conducted in final states with a muon, a photon, at least one hadronic jet with at most one being consistent with originating from a bottom quark, and missing transverse momentum. No evidence of single top quark production in association with a photon through a FCNC is observed. Upper limits at the 95% confidence level are set on the tu gamma and tc gamma anomalous couplings and translated into upper limits on the branching fraction of the FCNC top quark decays: B(t to u gamma) < 1.3E-4 and B(t to c gamma) < 1.7E-3. Upper limits are also set on the cross section of associated t gamma production in a restricted phase-space region. These are the most stringent limits currently available.

description: We consider joint energy storage management and load scheduling at a residential site with integrated renewable generation. Assuming unknown arbitrary dynamics of renewable source, loads, and electricity price, we aim at optimizing the load scheduling and energy storage control simultaneously in order to minimize the overall system cost within a finite time period. Besides incorporating battery operational constraints and costs, we model each individual load task by its requested power intensity and service durations, as well as the maximum and average delay requirements. To tackle this finite time horizon stochastic problem, we propose a real-time scheduling and storage control solution by applying a sequence of modification and transformation to employ Lyapunov optimization that otherwise is not directly applicable. With our proposed algorithm, we show that the joint load scheduling and energy storage control can in fact be separated and sequentially determined. Furthermore, both scheduling and energy control decisions have closed-form solutions for simple implementation. Through analysis, we show that our proposed real-time algorithm has a bounded performance guarantee from the optimal T-slot look-ahead solution and is asymptotically equivalent to it as the battery capacity and time period goes to infinity. The effectiveness of joint load scheduling and energy storage control by our proposed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation as compared with alternative algorithms.

description: Magnetic rare-earth ortheferrites of the RFeO3 type (R = rare earth element, model systems for studies and theoretical considerations on magnetic structures in sixties of the last century [[Whi69, Mar70, Ber68], have regained significant interest in the last decade. Their complex multiferroic and magnetocaloric features make them potential candidates for modern applications, e.g. in the area of spintronics [Tok12, Lee11]. We recently completed an extended project, Mechanisms for multiferroicity in rare-earth orthoferrites: Role of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, funded by the DFG (SA-3688/1-1). In this project we used various experimental methods to gain an overview of the exchange parameters of different magnetic exchange interactions, the Heisenberg-exchange, the Dzyaloshinskii-Morya interaction, the single-ion anisotropy and external magnetic fields for different RFeO3 compounds. A close quantitative examination and comparisons with results from other groups reveal that the different parameters differ significantly between the different systems [Ovs22a, Ovs22c], . This causes a fragile balance between them and results in very different magnetic phase diagrams e.g. for HoFeO3, TbFeO3 and YbFeO3. [Ovs22a, Art12, Ovs22c], In addition, we also looked at TmFeO3 and DyFeO3 as part of our project and wWe were also able to achieve initial information for them. In our presentation, we provide an overview of the results of the orthoferrites we examined.[Art12] S. Artyukhin et al.; Nature Mater. 11 (2012) 694–699.[Ber68] E.F. Bertaut; Acta Cryst.

Etiology of Anorexia Nervosa: The Interplay Between Genetics and Environment
Creators: name: Pillepich, Michelle
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Anorexia nervosa is just one of many eating disorders that exist and can cause significant hardship and damage in patients who suffer from the disorder.  Treatment of eating disorders is often lengthy and complex, and part of the difficulty in reaching recovery is the variation in etiology of disease.  While no single event or trait is known to cause an eating disorder, current literature suggests that genetics likely play a significant role in the development of anorexia nervosa.  Anorexia nervosa (hereon abbreviated as AN)  is defined as the “persistent restriction of energy intake relative to requirements leading to significantly low body weight”1.  Another part of the diagnostic criteria as defined by the DSM-5 is an “intense fear of gaining weight or of becoming fat, or persistent behavior that interferes with weight gain, even though at a significantly low weight”2.  A third piece of the diagnostic puzzle includes the patient’s perception of his or her weight.  The patient will experience weight in a disturbed way and weight has an increased influence on self-evaluation.  A patient could also neglect any recognition of the seriousness of a dangerously low weight2.  Two subtypes of AN are defined: ANR is the restricting subtype in which patients restrict their caloric intake without any binging or purging behavior, and the second subtype is ANBP in which a patient will engage in binge and purge behaviors1.  When looking at both AN types as well as all other eating disorders, the prevalence is 5% in Western countries3,4.  The lifetime prevalence of anorexia nervosa specifically is 1.20% for females and 0.29% for males3,5.  While the prevalence of the disorder in males is less than that in females, there is a higher lifetime risk of developing anorexia nervosa within a family in which a male has been diagnosed with the disorder3.   Anorexia nervosa has the highest mortality rate of all psychiatric disorders with a 5% mortality rate per decade and 0.56% per year4.  Aside from the serious consequence of death, AN is also associated with high rates of both medical complications and psychiatric comorbidities which will be discussed later5.  First degree relatives of someone with AN have a tenfold greater risk of developing AN during their lifetime than do those with no relatives who have been diagnosed with AN.  Relatives of an individual with AN also have a higher risk of developing any eating disorder, including those other than AN4.  Despite the awareness of these risk factors and the risk of death from the disorder, there has been no well replicated evidence of effective psychological or pharmacologic treatment6.  This paper will explore the possible genetic causes of AN, how environment plays into one’s genetics to influence development of the disorder, and how these findings can influence the future of the field of eating disorder treatment.

description: The aim of this study is to test the fairness of a Dutch achievement test with respect to gender, to investigate if gender differences in test scores are due to differences in actual latent ability or to irrelevant group characteristics. Tests can be unfair and have measurement bias for a number of reasons, but in the present study we focus on the potential influence of motivational factors in test unfairness. An appropriate method to detect measurement bias is to test for measurement invariance with Multiple Group Confirmatory Factor Analyses (MGCFAs). MGCFAs are performed to test three models for measurement invariance: a two-factor model of cognitive abilities, a one-factor model of motivation and a three-factor model of cognitive abilities and motivation. Test results from a standardization sample of 6195 Dutch students on the Drempeltest and Leermotivatietest are used to answer the research questions.

description: The spread of one disease, in some cases, can stimulate the spreading of another infectious disease. Here, we treat analytically a symmetric coinfection model for spreading of two diseases on a two-layer multiplex network. We allow layer overlapping, but we assume that each layer is random and locally loopless. Infection with one of the diseases increases the probability of getting infected with the other. Using the generating function method, we calculate exactly the fraction of individuals infected with both diseases (so-called coinfected clusters) in the stationary state, as well as the epidemic spreading thresholds and the phase diagram of the model.With increasing cooperation, we observe a tricritical point and the type of transition changes from continuous to hybrid. Finally, we compare the coinfected clusters in the case of cooperating diseases with the so-called "viable" clusters in networks with dependencies.

Year: 2017

description: With increasing childhood obesity, a growing number of interventions target young children with a goal of impacting their food choices and physical activity. However, messagesbeing sent to young children are often translated incorrectly based on the child’s developmental stage, and may do more harm than good. In particular, the rise in obesity prevention approaches has coincided with a rise in disordered eating behavior. In this paper, Iwill focus on how nutrition messages in the education setting should be appropriately tailored based on the child’s developmental stage to simultaneously decrease the risks of both obesity and disordered eating.

description: We discuss an extension of our earlier work on the time-dependent Landauer--Büttiker formalism for noninteracting electronic transport. The formalism can without complication be extended to superconducting central regions since the Green's functions in the Nambu representation satisfy the same equations of motion which, in turn, leads to the same closed expression for the equal-time lesser Green's function, i.e., for the time-dependent reduced one-particle density matrix. We further write the finite-temperature frequency integrals in terms of known special functions thereby considerably speeding up the computation. Numerical simulations in simple normal metal -- superconductor -- normal metal junctions are also presented.

Integrating cognitive behavioral approaches with nutrition counseling: the need for specialized training for dietitians working with eating disorders
Creators: name: Thebner, Elysse
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Registered dietitians have gaps in knowledge and skills related to the identification, assessment, treatment, and prevention of eating disorders. Due to the deeply psychological nature of eating disorders and the importance of coordinated multidisciplinary treatment, registered dietitians who work with eating disorders should receive specialized training that extends beyond the minimum required for dietetic registration, including training in the realm of psychopathology and behavioral therapies to facilitate and support dietary behavior change in individuals more effectively. The paradigm of care needs to shift from informative nutrition education to a patient-centered approach of nutrition counseling with treating patients with eating disorders.

description: Views about what defines addictiveness, what symptoms are attributable to such a state, and what objects may be addictive continue to change and be debated. However, only two prior studies have focused on the perceptions of what symptoms indicate addictiveness, both using DSM-IV criteria and focusing on a narrow range of objects. Therefore, this dissertation aims to: 1) understand what is meant when individuals refer to something as addictive, 2) understand whether the object being discussed changes the perceived meaning of addictiveness or the amount of distress expected, and 3) understand which factors may be correlates of the above perceptions. As such, a pilot qualitative study was conducted to understand perceptions of addictiveness, particularly in terms of symptoms. These results were coded and suggested eight themes, alongside 18 subthemes, regarding such perceptions. Based on these themes and subthemes, a measure was created as a method of understanding perceived addictiveness for various potentially addictive objects through the lens of symptoms indicative of addictiveness. Following this, I plan to evaluate perceptions of levels and indicators of addictiveness with this method in a sample of undergraduate students, and refine it as needed, in service of the above aims. I also plan to look at potential correlates of these perceptions, including demographic variables, political ideology, and religiousness, to gain an initial understanding of which factors may be related to these perceptions. Finally, I plan to replicate and expand these results in a more general sample of participants from an online data collection service.

description: The electron spin in a semiconductor quantum dot can be coherently controlled by an external electric field, an effect called electric-dipole spin resonance (EDSR). Several mechanisms can give rise to the EDSR effect, among which there is a hyperfine mechanism, where the spin-electric coupling is mediated by the electron-nucleus hyperfine interaction. Here, we investigate the influence of frequency modulation (FM) on the spin-flip efficiency. Our results reveal that FM plays an important role in the hyperfine mechanism. Without FM, the electric field almost cannot flip the electron spin; the spin-flip probability is only about 20%. While under FM, the spin-flip probability can be improved to approximately 70%. In particular, we find that the modulation amplitude has a lower bound, which is related to the width of the fluctuated hyperfine field.

Changing perceptions and transforming cafeterias: strategies for increasing school meal participation among high school students

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) feed millions of students in the United States each year. These programs offer nutritious meals at a minimal cost to children who might otherwise go hungry or undernourished, however participation in the program drops significantly during the high school years. While the direct, immediate impact of this drop is the lack of access to proper nutrition for students at the point of purchase, it also has the collateral effect of starving the School Food Authorities (SFAs) themselves because they are self-financing. The SFAs are losing an opportunity for important income to build a stronger, more attractive meal program because they are losing potential income from the program itself. This paper attempts to identify the reasons for low student participation and to propose solutions to increase participation in high school meal programs. A variety of sources were considered including literature, research, surveys of student opinion, and anecdotal evidence from school nutrition professionals. Evidence from these sources was synthesized to identify effective strategies that SFAs can use to increase the success of school meal programs in their district.

Dietary management of gestational diabetes: the ethics of balancing fetal outcomes with maternal psychological and metabolic health
Creators: name: Caldwell, McKenzie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Gestational diabetes mellitus is defined as hyperglycemia in pregnancy that is not overt type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes affects approximately 4-9% of live births in the United States and has implications for short term birth outcomes as well as long term maternal and child metabolic health. Medical nutrition therapy provided by a registered dietitian nutritionist is crucial in facilitating blood glucose management for clients with gestational diabetes. There are multiple dietary strategies that may be effective for optimal blood glucose control in women with gestational diabetes. This paper discusses strategies reviewed by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics as well as those proposed by diabetes in pregnancy programs across the US and by an individual registered dietitian nutritionist with experience managing gestational diabetes. Registered dietitian nutritionists must also take into consideration maternal mental health as well as systemic maternal health inequities that exist in the United States when providing ethical nutrition care. Mindful and intuitive eating approaches are proposed as strategies that can be incorporated with medical nutrition therapy to help ethically balance fetal outcomes with overall maternal psychological and metabolic health.

“Does Everyone Have to be Skinny?”: Addressing Weight Stigma in an Outpatient Pediatric Wellness and Weight Management Clinic
Creators: name: Meier, Erika
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Weight stigma is a growing concern as the focus on overweight and obesity increases in clinical practice. Its negative effects on children’s emotional well-being, healthcare quality and patient outcomes cannot be ignored. An outpatient clinic specializing in pediatric wellness and weight management must address weight stigma as part of the etiology of obesity. This proposed intervention seeks to reduce stigma and improve the quality of patient care through increasing awareness and educating staff, patients and their families about the harmful effects of weight stigma, and modifying the clinic physical environment to reduce unintentional stigma. Clinic staff will complete an Implicit Association Test for weight bias and attend two presentations, one covering weight stigma and including a video about weight stigma in healthcare, and the other focused on patient communication and talking with patients about weight. Staff will also post a mission statement addressing weight stigma. Parent education will take place through patient handouts and a new intake question probing for weight-based teasing. Finally, physical clinic components will be modified to create a more welcoming environment for people of all sizes including adding sturdy, armless chairs to the waiting room, purchasing larger gowns for adolescents with higher weights, and install a curtain to provide a semi-private weighing area. Stigma reduction outcomes will be evaluated through increases in staff scores on two measures of obesity stigma, the Attitudes Toward Obese Persons scale and Beliefs About Obese Persons scale. The quality of care outcome will be measured through a patient survey, and all results will be summarized and provided to the clinic director.

description: We present accurate measurements of the linear, quadratic, and cubic local bias of dark matter halos, using curved "separate universe" N-body simulations which effectively incorporate an infinite-wavelength overdensity. This can be seen as an exact implementation of the peak-background split argument. We compare the results with the linear and quadratic bias measured from the halo-matter power spectrum and bispectrum, and find good agreement. On the other hand, the standard peak-background split applied to the Sheth & Tormen (1999) and Tinker et al. (2008) halo mass functions matches the measured linear bias parameter only at the level of 10%. The prediction from the excursion set-peaks approach performs much better, which can be attributed to the stochastic moving barrier employed in the excursion set-peaks prediction. We also provide convenient fitting formulas for the nonlinear bias parameters $b_2(b_1)$ and $b_3(b_1)$, which work well over a range of redshifts.

Insights on Acculturation and its Influence on Diet and Health: The NC Migrant Farmworker Experience
Creators: name: Youssefi, Nasim
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Farmworkers in the United States are a population of nearly three million people who harvest the food that ends up at our tables. In North Carolina this population consists primarly of men of Mexican origin who undergo a process of acculturation as they become exposed to this culture. This process can affect multiple aspects of life, including changes in diet and health outcomes. Limited data exists on acculturation and nutritional status of NC farmworkers. This study introduces new observational and qualitative data to help fill this informational gap with hopes of providing better health care for this population.

Political economy and social change

description: Any analysis of a “National Educational System” reveals a highly complex social production system that is neither a hierarchical organization, nor a market, nor simply a misaligned system of principals and agents. It is, instead, a complex array of social actors bound together through various social structures and processes on one hand, and important functional relationships on the other. In approaching the challenge of moving that system towards sustained productivity gains, national governments naturally fall prey to the assumption that, in the principal/agent framework they are the principals of the system. But, as we have seen empirically, this idea overestimates the capacities of most central governments in developing countries (Pritchett 2013, Pritchett 2015, Moore and Spivack 2022). The world at large has learned that it is hard to centrally manage complex economies to produce economic prosperity and social equity. It is not obvious that the search for educational improvement is any less difficult. Of course, it is not wrong to imagine that the national government can become an important catalyst, motivator, and director of the system that will enhance its productivity – broadly understood. The important question, however, is how exactly it should practically do so? How can the central government develop a “strategic capacity” that can keep the widely distributed system as a whole moving towards improved performance with respect to both educational goals, and the wider economic, social, and political purposes that a polity hopes to advance through the provision of educational services. Answering that question for a broad class of national governments seeking to promoted sustained educational productivity relative to their goals is the task we will tackle in this essay (Moore and Spivack 2022).
A Pinch of Salt: A Review of Educational Interventions for Adherence to Sodium-Restricted Diets in Heart Failure
Creators: name: Rudel, Rebecca

Year: 2015

description: Heart failure (HF) is prevalent worldwide, affecting approximately 26 million people. In the United States, one in nine deaths is at least partially attributed to HF. More than 1 million patients are hospitalized yearly for HF and over 50% of these patients are readmitted within 6 months of discharge. HF has a high economic cost, with totals projected to reach $61.4 billion by 2020, as well as a negative impact on patients’ quality of life (QOL). Patients with HF experience impairments including role limitation due to physical problems, decrease in social and physical functioning, lack of energy, difficulty sleeping, shortness of breath, and edema. Rehospitalization has been demonstrated to worsen QOL and poor QOL has been identified as a risk factor for mortality and hospital readmission. Furthermore, higher incidence of HF and HF-related mortality have been noted in African Americans, especially men, and patients from lower socioeconomic status, indicating that HF is a health disparity issue. Identifying successful strategies to reduce the social and economic burden of HF by decreasing HF patient hospitalizations is a valuable endeavor. In addition to pharmacological therapy, behavioral self-management is typically part of a HF treatment plan. A sodium restricted diet (SRD) is consistently recommended as a self-management strategy. While consensus on an optimal level of sodium restriction has not been reached, SRD is consistently recommended as a non-pharmacological treatment of HF. This recommendation is based on a plausible physiological mechanism in which a low cardiac output leads to activation of renin which, through a series of biological responses, increases sodium retention. This reninangiotensin-aldosterone system-activated sodium retention coupled with excess dietary sodium is associated with fluid retention. Observational studies have associated SRD with lower symptom burden, all-cause hospitalization, mortality, and event-free survival.

Drift Due to Two Obstacles in Different Arrangements
Creators: name: Melkoumian, Sergei
name: Protas, Bartosz
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the drift induced by the passage of two cylinders through an unbounded extent of inviscid incompressible fluid under the assumption that the flow is two-dimensional and steady in the moving frame of reference. The goal is to assess how the resulting total particle drift depends on the parameters of the geometric configuration, namely, the distance between the cylinders and their angle with respect to the direction of translation. This problem is studied by numerically computing, for different cylinder configurations, the trajectories of particles starting at various initial locations. The velocity field used in these computations is expressed in closed form using methods of the complex function theory and the accuracy of calculations is carefully verified. We identify cylinder configurations which result in increased and decreased drift with respect to the reference case when the two cylinders are separated by an infinite distance. Particle trajectories shed additional light on the hydrodynamic interactions between the cylinders in configurations resulting in different drift values. This ensemble of results provides insights about the accuracy of models used to study biogenic transport.

description: This insight sets out to review a book on South African education that simultaneously tackles a very hard question and argues, by demonstrating their use, that a set of analytical frameworks helps tackle that question—and, by broader implication, that these analytical frameworks will also help tackle other development challenges. The very hard question the book wants to address is, “Why is learning achievement in South Africa so low?
Co-Occurrence of Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease in Youth: Clinical Implication and Management
Creators: name: Franz, Whitney
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Celiac disease (CD) and Type 1 diabetes (T1D) are common autoimmune disorders in youth with higher prevalence of CD in those with T1D compared to the general population. T1D and CD research provides evidence of shared genetic susceptibility as well as potential shared environmental risk factors including those associated with early dietary exposures and gut permeability. The inflammatory state of CD and T1D, which is heightened when not appropriately managed, is central to understanding the manifestations and clinical complications of CD in those with T1D. Management of T1D and CD requires a gluten free diet (GFD) and maintaining glycemic control for a lifetime; optimizing medical nutrition therapy to address glycemic control, growth, bone mass density, and cardiovascular health in youth with CD and T1D can address both short-term and long-term risk of disease-related complications. The interdisciplinary team has an important role in providing ongoing support, reinforcement of positive health behaviors, and skills development to overcome new barriers to adherence as parents and youth work daily to manage T1D and CD. Gaps in knowledge exist regarding the co-occurrence of T1D and CD. Very little evidence exists on the level of adherence required over the course of life to prevent disease related complications and little is known about the natural history of untreated asymptomatic CD. Novel research is investigating prevention efforts, early screening methods, and measures of dietary adherence to better understand the complex etiologies, complications, and management of T1D and CD.
