description: We measure the clustering of galaxy groups in the 2dFGRS Percolation-Inferred Galaxy Group (2PIGG) catalogue. The 2PIGG sample has 29,000 groups with at least two members. The clustering amplitude of the full 2PIGG catalogue is weaker than that of 2dFGRS galaxies, in agreement with theoretical predictions. We have subdivided the 2PIGG catalogue into samples that span a factor of 25 in median total luminosity. Our correlation function measurements span an unprecedented range of clustering strengths, connecting the regimes probed by groups fainter than L* galaxies and rich clusters. There is a steady increase in clustering strength with group luminosity; the most luminous groups are ten times more strongly clustered than the full 2PIGG catalogue. We demonstrate that the 2PIGG results are in very good agreement with the clustering of groups expected in the LCDM model.

Educational Intervention for Health Care Providers Prescribing Opioids for Individuals with Chronic Pain
Creators: name: Lachance, Sonya
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: Health care providers (HCP) are the primary caregivers for chronic pain in ambulatory care practice and are the predominant prescribers of opioids.  Pain medication accounts for at least 11% of all prescriptions in ambulatory care yet research suggests the number could be as high as 20%.  Given the current opioid epidemic, HCPs need guidelines to assist in treating chronic pain patients. 
Methods:  An educational intervention was implemented in a primary care practice to increase provider knowledge of chronic pain management and opioid prescribing utilizing a pre-survey, PowerPoint presentation, and post-knowledge survey. 
Results: Seven providers attended the education intervention and completed the pre-test survey.  Out of the seven providers, only four completed the final assessment.  The KnowPain-12 survey was used to measure the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of health care providers.  The KnowPain-12 survey score ranges from 0 to 60, with a higher score corresponding to a more correct response (Gordon et al., 2014).  Amongst the four providers, the results were evenly split.  Two of the four providers had a higher score following the intervention and two had lower scores.  The scores following the intervention indicate that there was an increase in two of the providers' KAP.  However, two providers decreased in KAP.  
Conclusion: Further research into educational interventions and opioid prescribing needs to be done.  The KAP Survey should be amended to include provider demographics, level of experience, and level of prior pain management education.  Future studies should also have a larger sample size and include other types of healthcare professionals.

description: This chapter argues that Australia’s labour market – indeed most capitalist labour markets – feature too much unemployment and underemployment and associated forms of labour market insecurity or disadvantage. The later term implies a weak or tenuous connection to the labour force through underemployment or involuntary casual or part-time work and/or low wages or other manifestations of weakness vis-à-vis employers. The direct and indirect costs of such malfunctions in the labour market are reflected in all sorts of economic, social and health costs (Watts 2000; Saunders and Taylor 2002). A good deal of social policy is directed to problems emanating from the labour market and its various malfunctions – especially unemployment, underemployment and inequality. Accordingly, a good way to minimize the need for expensive and often difficult social policy interventions is to organize the labour market so that it provides reasonable jobs and wages for those that seek them

description: Word meaning change can be inferred from drifts of time-varying word embeddings. However, temporal data may be too sparse to build robust word embeddings and to discriminate significant drifts from noise. In this paper, we compare three models to learn diachronic word embeddings on scarce data: incremental updating of a Skip-Gram from Kim et al. (2014), dynamic filtering from Bamler and Mandt (2017), and dynamic Bernoulli embeddings from Rudolph and Blei (2018). In particular, we study the performance of different initialisation schemes and emphasise what characteristics of each model are more suitable to data scarcity, relying on the distribution of detected drifts. Finally, we regularise the loss of these models to better adapt to scarce data.

The Use of Probiotics to Prevent Antibiotic Associated Diarrhea: Current Primary Care Practice and Introduction of an Evidence Based Practice Protocol
Creators: name: Visone, Elizabeth MB
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2012

Abstract
Antibiotic associated diarrhea (AAD) is defined as the self limiting diarrhea that occurs during or following a course of antibiotics (Bartlett, 2002; Dendukuri, Costa, McGregor, & Brophy, 2005; Pimental & Choure, 2009; Sullivan & Nord, 2005; Vrabie & Aberra, 2009).  Despite strong support for the use of probiotics in the outpatient setting for preventing AAD, there is lack of probiotic utilization by primary care providers in the outpatient setting.  Current literature indicates that one of the barriers to probiotic use is medical doctors’ (MDs) and nurse practitioners’ (NPs) attitude and lack of knowledge regarding the use of probiotics in preventing antibiotic associated diarrhea.  The purpose of this study was to evaluate the current attitude and knowledge of providers (MD, NP and physician assistant [PA]) in a primary care practice in central and eastern Connecticut.  Current attitude towards of the use of probiotics to prevent AAD was positive (p=0.083).  The level of providers knowledge increased by 17.53% (p=0.002). NPs showed a greater increase in knowledge in the post test than MDs (F(21)=59.345, p=0.005).  The second purpose of the study was to introduce an evidence-based protocol, during an educational intervention, for use in the adult outpatient setting.  The third purpose of the study was to evaluate providers’ use of probiotics as documented in the Electronic Medical Record after the introduction of an educational intervention.  There was a 50% increase in the number of providers recommending probiotics when prescribing an antibiotic.            The result of this study showed providers have a positive attitude toward the use of probiotics to prevent AAD.  There was also an increase in the provider knowledge of probiotic use after an educational intervention and the introduction of an evidence-based protocol.  There was also an increase in the number of providers who recorded their recommendation of a probiotic when prescribing an antibiotic.   Educational programs can be successful in introducing any evidence-based protocol.  Further research is needed to evaluate if this increase in the use of probiotics is sustained.  Further research is also needed to evaluate the extent providers implement the evidence-based protocol within their practice.

description: The strong coupling between molecules and photons in resonant cavities offers a new toolbox to manipulate photochemical reactions. While the quenching of photochemical reactions in the strong coupling regime has been demonstrated before, their enhancement has proven to be more elusive. By means of a state-of-the-art approach, here we show how the \iso{trans}{cis} photoisomerization quantum yield of azobenzene embedded in a realistic environment can be higher in polaritonic conditions than in the cavity-free case. We characterize the mechanism leading to such enhancement and discuss the conditions to push the photostationary state towards the unfavoured reaction product. Our results provide a signature that the control of photochemical reactions through strong coupling can be extended from selective quenching to improvement of the quantum yields

description: In this chapter, we compare the experience of Australia and New Zealand over the period of microeconomic reform that began in the early 1980s. Of particular concern is the question of how New Zealand, with what were seen at the time as the ‘best’ set of economic policies in the OECD, experienced the worst set of economic outcomes, and why Australia, from a broadly similar starting position, did so much better. That the outcomes indeed have differed significantly was perhaps not conclusively clear in earlier work (Easton and Gerritsen (1996), Quiggin (1996), Hazledine (1998), Quiggin (1996)), but we are by now in a position to update the earlier comparisons with the advantage of what is now two full decades of history since the major ‘reform’ processes were set in train.
An Educational Toolkit to Promote Lung Cancer Screening in Primary Care
Creators: name: Cloonan, Courtney
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality in the United States for both men and women.  Lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) demonstrates reductions in lung cancer mortality and all-cause mortality, and improved rates of early stage diagnosis in high-risk current and former adult smokers.  Evidence-based screening guidelines include annual LDCT in high-risk current and former adult smokers; however, these guidelines have not been fully translated into clinical practice.  The purpose of this project was to create a toolkit for lung cancer screening to assist primary care providers in educating and screening their patients at high-risk for lung cancer with an overall goal of reducing lung cancer mortality and improving early stage diagnosis of lung cancer.  An educational intervention using single group post-test was carried out in a primary care practice.  Providers were asked to use a toolkit that included resources for lung cancer screening in clinical practice.  Survey data was collected to determine effectiveness of the toolkit and educational intervention.  Analysis of the data indicated that the toolkit may be beneficial to practice, although there were provider concerns about time and patient receptiveness.  Lung cancer is a significant cause of mortality; giving providers tools to educate and screen high-risk patients for lung cancer may reduce mortality rates and improve survival.

description: We design an insect-sized rolling microrobot driven by continuously rotating wheels. It measures 18mm$\times$8mm$\times$8mm. There are 2 versions of the robot - a 96mg laser-powered one and a 130mg supercapacitor powered one. The robot can move at 27mm/s (1.5 body lengths per second) with wheels rotating at 300$^\circ$/s, while consuming an average power of 2.5mW. Neither version has any electrical wires coming out of it, with the supercapacitor powered robot also being self-sufficient and is able to roll freely for 8 seconds after a single charge. Low-voltage electromagnetic actuators (1V-3V) along with a novel double-ratcheting mechanism enable the operation of this device. It is, to the best of our knowledge, the lightest and fastest self-sufficient rolling microrobot reported yet.

description: We report on the analysis of new and previously published MMT optical spectra of the black hole binary XTE J1118+480 during the decline from the 2000 outburst to true quiescence. From cross-correlation with template stars, we measure the radial velocity of the secondary to derive a new spectroscopic ephemeris. The observations acquired during approach to quiescence confirm the earlier reported modulation in the centroid of the double-peaked Halpha emission line. Additionally, our data combined with the results presented by Zurita et al. (2002) provide support for a modulation with a periodicity in agreement with the expected precession period of the accretion disk of ~52 day. Doppler images during the decline phase of the Halpha emission line show evidence for a hotspot and emission from the gas stream: the hotspot is observed to vary its position, which may be due to the precession of the disk. The data available during quiescence show that the centroid of the Halpha emission line is offset by about -100 km/s from the systemic velocity which suggests that the disk continues to precess. A Halpha tomogram reveals emission from near the donor star after subtraction of the ring-like contribution from the accretion disk which we attribute to chromospheric emission. No hotspot is present suggesting that accretion from the secondary has stopped (or decreased significantly) during quiescence. Finally, a comparison is made with the black hole XRN GRO J0422+32: we show that the Halpha profile of this system also exhibits a behaviour consistent with a precessing disk.

description: The Rho GTPase Cdc42 is highly conserved in structure and function. Mechanical or chemical cues in the microenvironment stimulate the localized activation of Cdc42 to rearrange the actin cytoskeleton and establish cell polarity. A role for Cdc42 in cell polarization was first discovered in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and subsequently shown to also regulate directional motility in animal cells. Accordingly, in cancer Cdc42 promotes migration, invasion, and spread of tumor cells. Therefore, we targeted Cdc42 as a therapeutic strategy to treat metastatic breast cancer and designed the small molecule MBQ-167 as a potent inhibitor against Cdc42 and the homolog Rac. MBQ-167 inhibited cancer cell proliferation and migration in-vitro, and tumor growth and spread in-vivo in a mouse xenograft model of metastatic breast cancer. Since haploid budding yeast express a single Cdc42 gene, and do not express Rac, we used this well characterized model of polarization to define the contribution of Cdc42 inhibition to the effects of MBQ-167 in eukaryotic cells. Growth, budding pattern, and Cdc42 activity was determined in wildtype yeast or cells expressing a conditional knockdown of Cdc42 in response to vehicle or MBQ-167 treatment. As expected, growth and budding polarity were reduced by knocking-down Cdc42, with a parallel effect observed with MBQ-167. Cdc42 activity assays confirmed that MBQ-167 inhibits Cdc42 activation in yeast, and thus, bud polarity. Hence, we have validated MBQ-167 as a Cdc42 inhibitor in another biological context and present a method to screen Cdc42 inhibitors with potential as anti-metastatic cancer drugs.

description: Recent developments in the global system of cities present a curious paradox. With the cost of communications declining almost to zero and substantial, though less dramatic reductions in transport costs, there is now little technical requirement for most kinds of production to be undertaken in any particular location, or for elements of production chains to be located close to each other. This fact has had dramatic consequences for the organisation of manufacturing industry. Simple production chains involving the import of raw materials, usually from developing countries, for processing in a specialised centre, have been replaced by far more complex structures. Yet, in important respects, the dominance of a small number of ‘global cities’ has never been greater. In this paper, it is argued that the dominance of global cities reflects a desire for clustering on the part of finance sector professionals and corporate executives. It seems likely that such clustering provides private benefits by enhancing the value of personal contacts, but reduces the efficiency and profitability of the corporate sector.

description: A single-source surface integral equation (SS-SIE) for transverse electric (TE) scattering from cylindrical multilayered objects is proposed in this paper. By incorporating the differential surface admittance operator (DSAO) and recursively applying the surface equivalence theorem from innermost to outermost boundaries, an equivalent model with only electric current density on the outermost boundary can be obtained. In addition, an integration approach is proposed, where the small argument expansion of the Hankel function is used to evaluate the singular and nearly singular integrals. Compared with other SIEs, such as the Poggio-Miller-Chang-Harrington-Wu-Tsai (PMCHWT) formulation, the computational expenditure is reduced for multilayered structures because only a single source is needed on the outermost boundary. As shown in the numerical results, the proposed method generates only 19% of unknowns, uses 26% of memory, and requires 29% of the CPU time of the PMCHWT formulation.

description: Several years ago, O. Bratelli and P. Jorgensen developed the concept of m-systems of filters for dilation by a positive integer N>1 on L^2(R). They constructed a loop group action on m-systems. By work of Mallat and Meyer, these m-systems are important in constructing multi-resolution analyses and wavelets associated to dilation by N and translation by Z on L^2(R). In this paper, we discuss an extension of this loop-group construction to generalized filter systems, which we will call ``M-systems,'' associated with generalized multiresolution analyses. In particular, we show that every multiplicity function has an associated generalized loop group which acts freely and transitively on the set of M-systems corresponding to the multiplicity function. The results of Bratteli and Jorgensen correspond to the case where the multiplicity function is identically equal to 1.

Innovation in the creative commons is driven by a set of motives (desire for excellence, self-expression, altruism and sheer enjoyment) that may be broadly classed as creative rather than monetary or organisational. The products of this innovation are a common pool, which users can draw on freely and replenish and extend with their own contributions.

description: Bias is known to be an impediment to fair decisions in many domains such as human resources, the public sector, health care etc. Recently, hope has been expressed that the use of machine learning methods for taking such decisions would diminish or even resolve the problem. At the same time, machine learning experts warn that machine learning models can be biased as well. In this article, our goal is to explain the issue of bias in machine learning from a technical perspective and to illustrate the impact that biased data can have on a machine learning model. To reach such a goal, we develop interactive plots to visualizing the bias learned from synthetic data.

description: We study the curvaton scenario using the MSSM flat directions in the gauge-mediated SUSY breaking model. We find that the fluctuations in the both radial and phase directions can be responsible for the density perturbations in the universe through the curvaton mechanism. Although it has been considered difficult to have a successful curvaton scenario with the use of those flat directions, it is overcome by taking account of the finite temperature effects, which induce a negative thermal logarithmic term in the effective potential of the flat direction.

description: We show that at the onset of a cyclic fold bifurcation, a birhythmic medium composed of glycolytic oscillators displays turbulent dynamics. By computing the largest Lyapunov exponent, the spatial correlation function, and the average transient lifetime, we classify it as a weak turbulence with transient nature. Virtual heterogeneities generating unstable fast oscillations are the mechanism of the transient turbulence. In the presence of wavenumber instability, unstable oscillations can be reinjected leading to stationary turbulence. We also find similar turbulence in a cell cycle model. These findings suggest that weak turbulence may be universal in biochemical birhythmic media exhibiting cyclic fold bifurcations.

subject: communication technology

description: Recent developments in the global system of cities present a curious paradox. With the cost of communications declining almost to zero and substantial, though less dramatic reductions in transport costs, there is now little technical requirement for most kinds of production to be undertaken in any particular location, or for elements of production chains to be located close to each other. This fact has had dramatic consequences for the organisation of manufacturing industry. Simple production chains involving the import of raw materials, usually from developing countries, for processing in a specialised centre, have been replaced by far more complex structures. Yet, in important respects, the dominance of a small number of global cities has never been greater. In this paper, it is argued that the dominance of global cities reflects a desire for clustering on the part of finance sector professionals and corporate executives. It seems likely that such clustering provides private benefits by enhancing the value of personal contacts, but reduces the efficiency and profitability of the corporate sector.

Primary Care Provider Adherence to the Canadian Diabetes Association Clinical Practice Guideline for Chronic Kidney Disease
Creators: name: Chubbs, Dawn O
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: Diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring dialysis and contributes to one-half of all new dialysis cases each year in Canada.  Despite the ability to stop or slow the progression of CKD through early detection and intervention, CKD continues to rise, in part, due to providers’ lack of knowledge of and adherence to established national clinical practice guidelines (CPGs).  Methods: A quality improvement project was implemented in a rural, primary care clinic to enhance provider knowledge of the current CPG recommendations for CKD screening before and after a provider-specific educational intervention.  Results: The educational intervention improved provider knowledge of and confidence in screening for renal disease in diabetic patients. The average numbers of diabetic patients screened for renal disease improved each year, with 85.5% being screened in 2015-2016, resulting in a net increase of 31.5%.  In addition, modifiable risk factor screening by providers also improved in the same period, including measures of weight, blood pressure, lipids, and glycosylated hemoglobin levels.   Conclusion: Increasing primary provider awareness and knowledge, through education, can foster early recognition and management of CKD in diabetes and ultimately improve renal health outcomes in the diabetic population.

Effect of Provider Education on Pulmonary Rehabilitation Referrals and Discussions with Patients
Creators: name: Barry, Shannon
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic and debilitating disease from which 9% of the population suffers (CDC, 2013). Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a well-documented evidence-based intervention for patients with chronic respiratory diseases, leading to better health outcomes for patients; however, PR is grossly underutilized in primary care (Rochester et al., 2015). Providers face many barriers which cause this gap between the evidence and clinical practice, such as a lack of understanding of the rehabilitation program and insurance coverage (Rochester et al., 2015).
Purpose: The aim of this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project was to launch a quality improvement (QI) initiative to improve discussions and referral rates of patients with COPD to pulmonary rehabilitation.
Methods: This project was influenced by Kurt Lewin’s theory on organizational change. The design used Lewin’s unfreezing, moving, and refreezing to change the care of COPD patients. This project used a provider focus group, a provider educational session, and reminder systems to track pulmonary rehabilitation discussions and referrals at a primary care office in Athol, Massachusetts over four months.
Results: Prior to this intervention, the providers had not discussed pulmonary rehabilitation or placed any referrals to in the previous two years. After the educational session, providers had 20 discussions with patients about pulmonary rehabilitation, which lead to four referrals.
Conclusion: This DNP project improved provider’s knowledge and understanding of pulmonary rehabilitation and was associated with an increase in the number of discussions about and referrals to pulmonary rehabilitation.

Productivity Analysis

description: In this paper, it is argued that, given its relatively short duration and high year-to-year variability, the MFP data set does not contain enough information to allow clear statistical discrimination between competing hypotheses. As a result of this lack of information, combined with the human predilection for observing patterns, a range of alternative stories, each of which may be supported by an appropriate interpretation of the data, has been produced. Three such stories are described here. The first is the New Economy story put forward by Parham and others. The second story agrees with the first regarding the 1990s, but interprets the subsequent decline in productivity growth as the result of a failure to pursue microeconomic reform with sufficient vigour. The third story rejects the idea of a productivity miracle in the 1990s and argues instead that productivity growth rates experienced a sharp decline at the end of the postwar Golden Age around 1970, and that this decline has been sustained, although with fluctuations around the trend.
Intellectual Property and Indigenous Culture

description: The extent to which cultural activities can generate social and economic benefits for Indigenous communities, and the way in which those benefits are shared within communities depends largely on the way in which the system of intellectual property rights handles Indigenous cultural products. The aim of this paper is to address these issues, taking account of both legal and economic perspectives. Rather than taking concepts of intellectual property as given, we ask what kinds of intellectual property systems, if any, can best contribute to meeting the economic, social and cultural needs of Indigenous communities.

Cultural and Health Literacy Assessment of the Hispanic/Latino Patient Population: Presentation of a Cultural Competence Toolkit for Acute Care Nurses
Creators: name: Moore, Patricia
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: Barriers to effective communication, such as low health literacy, language, and cultural differences, play a role in the health disparities that affect the Hispanic/Latino population. These barriers have generally been considered in isolation; interventions designed to overcome low health literacy have typically been separate from those focused on decreasing cultural and linguistic barriers. Nurses must understand that culture and language establish the framework for the attainment of health literacy skills, and strive to work within the cultural context of the patient. Methods: Best practices for cultural and health literacy assessment and culturally appropriate nursing interventions were used to develop a Cultural Competence Training Toolkit which was presented to a group of nurses (N = 12). Effectiveness was measured through pre-and post-intervention evaluation of cultural competence using the Inventory for Assessing the Process of Cultural Competence among Healthcare Professionals- Revised. Objectives: 1) Explore the relationship between health literacy, cultural competence, and nursing practice; 2) Describe a cultural competence model that can be used as a framework for nursing practice; 3) Develop and evaluate a Cultural Competence Training Toolkit for acute care nurses. Outcomes: Statistically significant improvements were noted in overall cultural competence (12.25 points) as well as all sub-scale scores (desire: 2.42 points; awareness: 2.75 points; knowledge: 2.08 points; skills: 2.91 points; and encounters: 2.09 points) from baseline to post-test (p < .001). Conclusion: Cultural competence training may lead to improvements in providers’ awareness, knowledge, skills, encounters and desire to learn about the specialized needs of the Hispanic/Latino population.
