description: Several ways used to rank countries with respect to medals won during Olympic Games are discussed. In particular, it is shown that the unofficial rank used by the Olympic Committee is the only rank that does not allow one to use a numerical counter for ranking - this rank uses the lexicographic ordering to rank countries: one gold medal is more precious than any number of silver medals and one silver medal is more precious than any number of bronze medals. How can we quantify what do these words, more precious, mean? Can we introduce a counter that for any possible number of medals would allow us to compute a numerical rank of a country using the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals in such a way that the higher resulting number would put the country in the higher position in the rank? Here we show that it is impossible to solve this problem using the positional numeral system with any finite base. Then we demonstrate that this problem can be easily solved by applying numerical computations with recently developed actual infinite numbers. These computations can be done on a new kind of a computer - the recently patented Infinity Computer. Its working software prototype is described briefly and examples of computations are given. It is shown that the new way of counting can be used in all situations where the lexicographic ordering is required.

EU Competition Policy and Market Liberalization; Using the Gazprom Antitrust Case to Examine the EU Influence on Russian Energy Policy
Creators: name: Hager, David
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: To examine the EU influence on Russian energy policy, this thesis isolates EU competition policy in natural gas markets and considers the European Commission’s antitrust proceedings against Russian-state owned Gazprom. By applying the neofunctionalist principle of spillover to natural gas markets, I examine the degree to which the EU has influenced Russian energy policy. I find there exists no visible change in domestic energy policy of Russia due to the implementation of competition rules in the EU internal energy market. By examining the Gazprom antirust case, I find that the EU’s competition policy has weakened the ability of the Kremlin to use Gazprom as a tool of foreign policy. With these findings, we are able to better understand the means by which the Russian federation is able to coerce energy importing Member States using natural gas as political leverage.

description: We investigate anomalous Hall effect in a magnet coupled to a triplet superconductor under phase gradient. It is found that the anomalous Hall supercurrent arises from non-trivial structure of the magnetization. The magnetic structure manifested in the Hall supercurrent is characterized by even order terms of the exchange coupling, essentially different from that discussed in the context of anomalous Hall effect, reflecting the disspationless nature of supercurrent. We also discuss a possible candidate for magnetic structure to verify our prediction.

A Spoonful of Transportation Helps the Comparison Go Down: Using Narrative Transportation to Make Comparative Advertisements More Palatable
Creators: name: Prettyman, Rebecca K.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Drawing direct comparisons between one's brand and its competitors is widely used in advertising. Previous research has shown positive effects of comparative advertising: consumers have an improved attitude toward the brand. However, comparisons can be risky, leading consumers to develop more source derogations, perceive the advertisement as more aggressive, and have increased negative emotions and attitude toward the ad. A plausible question posed by a brand manager or advertiser would be: how can we maintain the positive effects of drawing a comparison, while mitigating the negative effects? Research into the effects of narrative transportation shows that subjects react very favorably toward advertisements that induce them to imagine themselves in the described product scenario. This thesis was designed to investigate how coupling narrative transportation with comparisons in an advertisement affects consumers' reactions, and if the use of transportation can calm the negative effects of a comparison. The results of this study suggest that a transportive comparative ad is as effective as a transportive noncomparatived--when paired with transportation, a comparison's negative effects are assuaged.

description: We theoretically investigate spin current and magnetic response induced by the twisting phonon mode in carbon nanotubes via the spin-rotation coupling. An effective magnetic field due to the twisting mode induces both spin and orbital magnetizations. The induced spin and orbital magnetizations have both radial and axial components. We show that ac pure spin current is generated by the twisting phonon mode. The magnitude of the spin current and orbital magnetization for a (10,10) armchair nanotube is estimated as an example. We find that the ac pure spin current is detectable in magnitude when the frequency of the twisting mode is of the order of GHz, and that the orbital magnetization is found to be larger than the spin magnetization.

Why pension?: establishing the reasons for body servant pensions using newspaper and magazine depictions
Creators: name: O'Sullivan, Bryna Claire
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Between 1888 and 1927, the legislators of former Confederate states began granting pensions to men that had served as body servants in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. The action seems illogical given the segregated conditions of the South. This paper explores the question of why pensions were offered. Relying upon newspaper and magazine descriptions of the servants, it suggests that pensions were largely the product of changes in body servant image brought about by the Lost Cause and of the changes in attitudes that followed.

description: Collective motions emerging from the interaction of autonomous mobile individuals play a key role in many phenomena, from the growth of bacterial colonies to the coordination of robotic swarms. For these collective behaviours to take hold, the individuals must be able to emit, sense and react to signals. When dealing with simple organisms and robots, these signals are necessarily very elementary, e.g. a cell might signal its presence by releasing chemicals and a robot by shining light. An additional challenge arises because the motion of the individuals is often noisy, e.g. the orientation of cells can be altered by Brownian motion and that of robots by an uneven terrain. Therefore, the emphasis is on achieving complex and tunable behaviors from simple autonomous agents communicating with each other in robust ways. Here, we show that the delay between sensing and reacting to a signal can determine the individual and collective long-term behavior of autonomous agents whose motion is intrinsically noisy. We experimentally demonstrate that the collective behaviour of a group of phototactic robots capable of emitting a radially decaying light field can be tuned from segregation to aggregation and clustering by controlling the delay with which they change their propulsion speed in response to the light intensity they measure. We track this transition to the underlying dynamics of this system, in particular, to the ratio between the robots' sensorial delay time and the characteristic time of the robots' random reorientation. Supported by numerics, we discuss how the same mechanism can be applied to control active agents, e.g. airborne drones, moving in a three-dimensional space.

IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EVIDENCE-BASED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM TO PROMOTE THE CORRECT USE OF A SUBDERMAL CONTRACEPTIVE IMPLANT IN WOMEN OF CHILD BEARING AGE
Creators: name: Apple, Jennifer
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Background: Unintended pregnancy remains one of the top problems women face across the United States, although the rate has decreased 18% in four years due to an increase in the use highly effective long acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs), specifically the subdermal implant. However, irregular or prolonged bleeding is the most common side effect associated with the subdermal implant and primary cause for early removal. Proper provider education on the management of side effects of the implant may improve how women tolerate the implant, decreasing rates of early removal.
      Purpose: The purpose of this project was to implement a system wide educational program for providers and staff at a local health department on optimizing counseling patients about the subdermal contraceptive implant to improve provider knowledge and decrease early removal rates.
      Methods: A quasi-experimental design based on Lippitt’s seven step theory was used to test the impact of a system wide educational intervention for providers on identifying irregular vaginal bleeding and potential treatments, and provision of provider contact information for patients receiving the subdermal implant. An informational brochure was also created as a tool for patients, and staff were educated on how to utilize the tool during patient encounters for implant insertion. Implementation consisted of education during in-person meetings with all staff members. Records of patients between January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017 were randomly reviewed retrospectively and a 3-month post implementation chart review was conducted for comparison with pre-intervention data.
      Results: The current project indicated the system wide educational intervention for providers and staff on optimizing counseling patients on the subdermal contraceptive implant and its common side-effects in females of childbearing age elicited a statistically significant change in knowledge among clinic staff at the NRC (Wilcoxon signed-ranked z = -2.371, p = 0.018). There was also a significant impact on the number of subdermal implants removed (p = 0.015) between pre and post implementation of the education program.
      Conclusion: Implementation of a system wide educational program led to improved staff knowledge regarding evidence-based counseling for subdermal contraceptive implants. Based on these findings, standardizing provider-led education to counsel female patients on the subdermal contraceptive implant can lead to effective treatment of common side effects and reduce early discontinuation rates, ultimately preventing unwanted pregnancy.

description: This systematic review of global peer-reviewed research aims to identify and synthesise evidence to assess the role of trust in technology adoption. Trust is considered at the centre of how people selectively engage in social relationships with others where those relationships depend on cooperation. Further, trust and the mechanisms that underlie trust are assumed to have important roles in technology adoption. However, studies of trust in relation to technology tend to focus, in an ad-hoc manner, on examining the nature of trust, the antecedents, and consequences of trust in specific contexts (e.g., online marketplaces or trust in a specific technology or provider). There is a lack of understanding about what trust entails, and what entails trust in technology adoption (or the lack of technology adoption) and digital relationships.

description: Total internal reflection (TIR) is a ubiquitous phenomenon used in photonic devices ranging from waveguides and resonators to lasers and optical sensors. Controlling this phenomenon and light confinement are keys to the future integration of nanoelectronics and nanophotonics on the same silicon platform. We introduced the concept of relaxed total internal reflection in 2014 to control evanescent waves generated during TIR. These unchecked evanescent waves are the fundamental reason photonic devices are inevitably diffraction-limited and cannot be miniaturized. Our key design concept is the engineered anisotropy of the medium into which the evanescent wave extends thus allowing for skin depth engineering without any metallic components. In this article, we give an overview of our approach and compare it to key classes of photonic devices such as plasmonic waveguides, photonic crystal waveguides and slot waveguides. We show how our work can overcome a long standing issue in photonics nanoscale light confinement with fully transparent dielectric media.

I can see she does not want to be pregnant: using images to inform low-literacy audiences about safe abortion in Zambia
Creators: name: Goetschius, Andrea B.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Images are often perceived as a universal language, but when communicating health messages, lack of specificity can lead to misinterpretations with potentially dangerous consequences. This study evaluates the image-based Ending Pregnancy with Pills booklet in Lusaka, Zambia. Think-aloud interviews were conducted with 20 low-literate women to determine how they interpreted the health messages and clinical information contained in the booklet. Analysis focused on visual techniques and structures that helped or hindered accurate understanding of the intended message. Culturally-based visual conventions, such as thought balloons, that required symbolic interpretation strategies, contributed to misunderstanding. Iconic strategies, such as the sun and moon, to convey the passage of time increased comprehension. Recommendations for health practitioners developing image-based materials are discussed.

description: In this paper we present a study of a general system coupled to a reservoir consisting of nonlinear oscillators, based on perturbation theory at the classical level. We extend the standard Zwanzig approach of elimination of bath degrees of freedom order by order in perturbation. We observe that the Fluctuation Dissipation Relation (FDR) in its standard form for harmonic baths gets modified due to the nonlinearity and this is manifested through higher powers of kBT in the expression for two-time noise correlation.As an aside, we also observe that the first moment of the noise arising from a nonlinear bath can be non-zero, even in absence of any external drive, if the reservoir potential is asymmetric with respect to one of its minima, about which one builds up the perturbation theory.

description: The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests ambient air pollution as the greatest environmental risk to health, responsible for > 7 million premature deaths annually, worldwide. Systematic reviews in adults have proposed that ambient air pollution leads to elevated BP levels which is an important mechanism in defining the link between ambient air pollution and cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Limited evidence, however, exists for association between air pollution and blood pressure levels in adolescents. The WHO defines adolescents in the age range of 10-19 years. The aim of the systematic review is to collate evidence on the association of exposure to ambient air pollutants and blood pressure in adolescents. Identifying the impact of modifiable risk factors in adolescents is important as they pose a greater risk to developing chronic illness in the future.

description: We study entanglement entropy in theories with gravitational or mixed U(1) gauge-gravitational anomalies in two, four and six dimensions. In such theories there is an anomaly in the entanglement entropy: it depends on the choice of reference frame in which the theory is regulated. We discuss subtleties regarding regulators and entanglement entropies in anomalous theories. We then study the entanglement entropy of free chiral fermions and self-dual bosons and show that in sufficiently symmetric situations this entanglement anomaly comes from an imbalance in the flux of modes flowing through the boundary, controlled by familiar index theorems. In two and four dimensions we use anomalous Ward identities to find general expressions for the transformation of the entanglement entropy under a diffeomorphism. (In the case of a mixed anomaly there is an alternative presentation of the theory in which the entanglement entropy is not invariant under a U(1) gauge transformation. The free-field manifestation of this phenomenon involves a novel kind of fermion zero mode on a gravitational background with a twist in the normal bundle to the entangling surface.) We also study d-dimensional anomalous systems as the boundaries of d + 1 dimensional gapped Hall phases. Here the full system is non-anomalous, but the boundary anomaly manifests itself in a change in the entanglement entropy when the boundary metric is sheared relative to the bulk.

description: Our goal is to replicate and expand Son et al. (2014), who investigated disparities in the quality of healthcare for Asian American children with special healthcare needs (SHCN). They found evidence for racial disparities in the quality of healthcare relative to white children with special healthcare needs in 2009-2010. We will examine whether there are similar healthcare disparities for other racial and ethnic groups and for children with SHCN using combined data from the 2016-2018 waves of the National Survey of Children's Health. Research Question: Are there racial or ethnic disparities in the quality of healthcare for children with certain special healthcare needs? a. Hypothesis 1: We expect that parents of children with SHCN who are Black, Hispanic, Asian, Indigenous or Original, or multiracial will generally report lower quality healthcare than parents of children with SHCN who are white or non-Hispanic. b. Hypothesis 2: We expect that parents of children who are Black, Hispanic, Asian, Indigenous or Original, or multiracial and who have specific SHCN (e.g., ADHD, learning disabilities) will report lower quality of healthcare that parents of children with specific SHCN who are white or non-Hispanic. c. Hypothesis 3: We expect that, among children with similar SHCN and experiencing similar severity of impairment, parents who are racial/ethnic minorities will report lower quality care than parents who are white or non-Hispanic. That is, and for example, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Indigenous or Original, and multiracial parents who have moderately impaired children with ADHD will report lower quality care than white parents of moderately impaired children with ADHD. d. Hypothesis 4: We expect to expect to replicate Son et al.’s results and to observe more generally negative patterns for non-white racial groups and Hispanic ethnicity. We also expect to that the quality care indicators “provides needed information,” “helps parents feel like a partner,” and “receives culturally competent care” will be statistically significantly lower for non-white or non-Hispanic parents, while “listens carefully to parents” and “spent enough time with child” will not attain statistical significance.

description: Reversible logic has attracted substantial interest due to its low power consumption which is the main concern of low power VLSI circuit design. In this paper, a novel 4x4 reversible gate called inventive gate has been introduced and using this gate 1-bit, 2-bit, 8-bit, 32-bit and n-bit group-based reversible comparator have been constructed with low value of reversible parameters. The MOS transistor realizations of 1-bit, 2- bit, and 8-bit of reversible comparator are also presented and finding power, delay and power delay product (PDP) with appropriate aspect ratio W/L. Novel inventive gate has the ability to use as an n-to-2n decoder. Different proposed novel reversible circuit design style is compared with the existing ones. The relative results shows that the novel reversible gate wide utility, group-based reversible comparator outperforms the present design style in terms of number of gates, garbage outputs and constant input.

THE POLITICS OF HEALTH REFORM IN LATIN AMERICA: AGENDA SETTING AND DECISION MAKING IN CHILE AND PERU

description: This paper examines the process of decision making of two policies aiming to universalize the access to health services: AUGE in Chile under President Lagos, and AUS in Peru under the García Administration. I incorporate the strength of the programmatic nature of political parties as an independent variable explaining the difference in the process of decision making and final policy outputs. The role of party leadership together with programmatic commitments is found to be important for the agenda setting process. Further, a systematic analysis of floor debates finds the presence of programmatic political parties of the left and right to lead to an exhaustive debate. Finally, the presence of programmatic political parties in Chile is found to lead to a policy with clear definitions and viable objectives, which had important implications for its further implementation. Conversely, weakly programmatic parties led to a poorly specified policy in Peru, which negatively impacted its implementation.
Search for squarks and gluinos in events with an isolated lepton, jets and missing transverse momentum at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: The results of a search for squarks and gluinos in final states with an isolated electron or muon, multiple jets and large missing transverse momentum using proton--proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV are presented. The dataset used was recorded during 2015 and 2016 by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 $fb^{-1}$. No significant excess beyond the expected background is found. Exclusion limits at 95% confidence level are set in a number of supersymmetric scenarios, reaching masses up to 2.1 TeV for gluino pair production and up to 1.25 TeV for squark pair production.

description: We extend a lower bound of Munshi on sums over divisors of a number $n$ which are less than a fixed power of $n$ from the squarefree case to the general case. In the process we prove a lower bound on the entropy of a geometric distribution with finite support, as well as a lower bound on the probability that a random variable is less than its mean given that it satisfies a natural condition related to its third cumulant.

description: This study assesses the contribution of retirement benefits on the economic wellbeing of pensioners in Tanzania. Data were collected from 136 pensioners and 12 interviewees and analysed empirically using descriptive and regression models. The research findings revealed that, the economic wellbeing of pensioners is not good after retirement. Furthermore, the study found that monthly pension and pre-retirement training are key contributing factors to economic wellbeing of pensioners. Moreover, other sources of income available to pensioners, education and salary level have significant contribution to economic wellbeing regardless of the retirement benefit one receives. Thus, the study recommends that institutions, stakeholders, and pensioners should work on pension formula in order to increase the monthly pension amount to improve economic wellbeing of the pensioners. Future studies on social interactions are also recommended. Key words: Economic wellbeing, Employment, Social security, Pensioner, Retirement benefits My affiliation is The University of Dodoma
