description: Global production of biofuels has been expanding with the enduring concerns on climate change and energy security. The U.S. Congress has established a renewable fuel standard 2 (RFS2) rule that mandates annual combined production of 36 billion gallons (bg) biofuels by 2022 (USEPA, 2010). Large scale production of biofuels results in far-reaching intended and unintended consequences on the economy and environment. In this study, a computable general equilibrium model (CGE) - Applied Dynamic Analysis of Global Economy -- ADAGE-Biofuel is developed to examine the global implications of the U.S. RFS2 policy. This model is built upon a dynamic version of ADAGE model (Ross, 2009) by introducing eight crop categories, one livestock and one forestry sectors, seven first generation biofuels, three second generation biofuels and five land categories and explicitly model land-use changes. We find out that despite of continued increase in land productivity and energy efficiency, increase in population and economic growth leads to a global-wide increase in agriculture production, rise in price of food, agriculture, biofuel and energy and land conversion from the other four land types to cropland from 2010 to 2025 when RFS2 is not implemented and biofuel consumption remain at the base year (2010) level in all the regions until 2025 (BAU scenario). The implementation of RFS2 policy would require 36.3 million ha (mha) of land for switchgrass production by 2025, where 34.8 mha from existing cropland, 0.9 mha from pasture, and 0.6 mha from managed forest land. Compared with the BAU scenario, price is projected to increase by around 5~7% for eight crops, 1.6% for livestock and 1.6% for forestry as a result of reducing production. Globally, due to reduction in agriculture exports from U.S. as a result of the RFS2 policy, all other regions would allocate slightly more land for crop and food production, leading to gentle loss of natural grassland and natural forestland, especially in Africa, which would lose 0.5 million ha of natural grassland for crop and livestock production. The RFS2 policy would bring environmental benefits too. The accumulated carbon saving from 2010 to 2025 would be arround 392 mmt c globally with 207 mmt c from fossile fuel and 185 mmt from land. Among it, U.S. alone would contribute 300 mmt c with 208 mmt c from fossile fuel and 92 mmt c from land.

Salkuyeh, An extension of positive-definite and skew-Hermitian splitting method for preconditioning of generalized saddle point problems, Computers \& Mathematics with Application, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.camwa.2019.10.030, 2019) an extension of the positive definite and skew-Hermitian splitting (EPSS) iteration method for nonsingular generalized saddle point problems has been presented. In this article, we study semi-convergence of the EPSS method for singular generalized saddle problems. Then a special case of EPSS (SEPSS) preconditioner is applied to the nonsingular generalized saddle point problems. Some numerical results are presented to show the effectiveness of the preconditioner.

description: The standard picture of the loop expansion associates a factor of h-bar with each loop, suggesting that the tree diagrams are to be associated with classical physics, while loop effects are quantum mechanical in nature. We discuss examples wherein classical effects arise from loop contributions and display the relationship between the classical terms and the long range effects of massless particles.

description: We present a new Stata command, irp, that generates the inverse response plot (Cook and Weisberg, 1994, Biometrika 81: 731–737) of a response on its predictors. Using the inverse response plot, an appropriate scaled power transformation for the positive response variable can be found so that the transformed response mean is linear in the predictors. The optimal transformation is displayed in the plot, as are user-specified guesses. By using the graphical display, the user may determine whether an appropriate transformation exists as well as determine its value. We demonstrate the irp command using both a generated and a real example.

description: Elderly chronic diseases are the main cause of death in the world, accounting 60% of all death. Because elderly with chronic diseases at the early stages has no observed symptoms, and then symptoms starts to appear, it is critical to observe the symptoms as early as possible to avoid any complication. This paper presents an expert system for an Elderly Health Care (EHC) at elderly home tailored for the specific needs of Elderly. The proposed EHC aims to develop an integrated and multidisciplinary method to employ communication technologies and information for covering real health needs of elderly people, mainly of people at high risk due to social and geographic isolation in addition to specific chronic diseases. The proposed EHC provides personalized intervention plans covering chronic diseases such as (body temperature (BT), blood pressure (BP), and Heart beat rate (HR)). The processes and architecture of the proposed EHC are based on the server side and three main clients, one for the elderly and another two for the nurse and the physicians whom take care of them. The proposed EHC model is discussed for proving the usefulness and effectiveness of the expert system.

description: We describe a simple but effective iterative procedure specifically designed to destripe Q and U Stokes parameter data as those collected by the SPOrt experiment onboard the International Space Station (ISS). The method is general enough to be useful for other experiments, both in polarization and total intensity. The only requirement for the algorithm to work properly is that the receiver knee frequency must be lower than the signal modulation frequency, corresponding in our case to the ISS orbit period. Detailed performances of the technique are presented in the context of the SPOrt experiment, both in terms of added rms noise and residual correlated noise.

description: We present new horizontal branch (HB) distance measurements to 17 of the faintest known M31 satellites ($-6 \lesssim M_{V} \lesssim -13$) based on deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging. The color-magnitude diagrams extend $\sim$1-2 magnitudes below the HB, which provides for well-defined HBs, even for faint galaxies in which the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) is sparsely populated. We determine distances across the sample to an average precision of 4% ($\sim 30$~kpc at $800$~kpc). We find that the majority of these galaxies are in good agreement, though slightly farther (0.1-0.2 mag) when compared to recent ground-based TRGB distances. Two galaxies (And~IX and And~XVII) have discrepant HST and ground-based distances by $\sim 0.3$ mag ($\sim 150$~kpc), which may be due to contamination from Milky Way foreground stars and/or M31 halo stars in sparsely populated TRGB regions. We use the new distances to update the luminosities and structural parameters for these 17 M31 satellites. The new distances do not substantially change the spatial configuration of the M31 satellite system. We comment on future prospects for precise and accurate HB distances for faint galaxies in the Local Group and beyond.

A Primary Care Intervention for Overweight and Obese Children and Adolescents
Creators: name: Jenike, Lisa R
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2013

The rising rates of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents have been accompanied by an increase in adverse health outcomes such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.  There is a need for evidence-based interventions that can be used by primary care providers to address this issue.  Therefore, the purpose of this research translation project was to provide education to children and adolescents and their families on healthy nutrition and physical activity, thus increasing knowledge related to healthy lifestyle patterns and significantly reducing body mass index (BMI).  A Primary Care Healthy Choices Intervention Program for Overweight and Obese School-Aged Children and Their Parents (Jacobson & Melnyk, 2012) was the foundation for this project. Their program highlighted the use of remote methods to offer education regarding healthy choices resulting in decreased BMI.  A 1-group, 7-week pre-/posttest design was used with outcome measures including BMI percentile and physical activity and nutrition knowledge.  Children and adolescents found the project to be informative and helpful in promoting healthy behaviors.  Beneficial effects of the intervention included decreased BMI percentile and increased knowledge regarding healthy nutrition and physical activity.  This project provides further support that remote education in conjunction with motivational interviewing can result in beneficial outcomes and may provide a convenient, cost-effective approach in which to reach this population

description: We introduce quantum optimal transport of states on tracial AF-C*-algebras to study non-spatial transport of quantum information, and view it as the pointwise case of a general parametrised one. We define quantum optimal transport distances as dynamic transport distances in a tracial but non-ergodic and infinite-dimensional quantum setting, called AF-C*-setting. We further extend foundational results of Carlen and Maas to the AF-C*-setting and develop a theory of quantum optimal transport yielding non-spatial lower Ricci bounds suitable for meaningful geometric analysis. Essential for our discussion is a coarse graining process arising from the underlying metric geometry as encoding scheme of the given tracial AF-C*-algebra. In the logarithmic mean setting, we apply the coarse graining process to show equivalence of the EVI_λ-gradient flow property for quantum relative entropy, its strong geodesic λ-convexity, a, possibly infinite-dimensional, Bakry-Émery condition, and a Hessian lower bound condition. We then define lower Ricci bounds of our quantum gradients using any one of said equivalent conditions, give sufficient conditions for lower Ricci bounds of direct sum quantum gradients and, assuming lower Ricci bounds, derive functional inequalities HWI_λ, MLSI_λ and TW_λ in the AF-C*-setting alongside their chain of implications. Fundamental example classes give quantum optimal transport of normal states on hyperfinite factors of type I and II with both non-negative and strictly positive lower Ricci bounds. An application is given by first and second quantisation of spectral triples.

description: Let $m$ be a bounded function and $α$ a nonnegative parameter. This article is concerned with the first eigenvalue $λ\_α(m)$ of the drifted Laplacian type operator $\mathcal L\_m$ given by $\mathcal L\_m(u)= -\operatorname{div} \left((1+αm)\nabla u\right)-mu$ on a smooth bounded domain, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Assuming uniform pointwise and integral bounds on $m$, we investigate the issue of minimizing $λ\_α(m)$ with respect to $m$. Such a problem is related to the so-called "two phase extremal eigenvalue problem" and arises naturally, for instance in population dynamics where it is related to the survival ability of a species in a domain. We prove that unless the domain is a ball, this problem has no "regular" solution. We then provide a careful analysis in the case of a ball by: (1) characterizing the solution among all radially symmetric resources distributions, with the help of a new method involving a homogenized version of the problem; (2) proving in a more general setting, a stability result for the centered distribution of resources with the help of a monotonicity principle for second order shape derivatives which significantly simplifies the analysis.
Reducing Weight Bias Among Nursing Students
Creators: name: Curran, Jeffrey P
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

Background: Patients with obesity confront weight-based bias when navigating the healthcare system. Addressing this topic during the academic formation of future health care providers can effectively diminish negative stereotypes attributed to overweight individuals.
Purpose: The purpose of this project was to reduce weight-based bias among nursing students through a structured curriculum designed to highlight the negative impact of stigma on patients, an understanding of the complex causes of obesity and model a more sensitive approach for nurse-patient interaction.
Methods: Undergraduate nursing students in their junior year inpatient clinical rotation were given two standardized self-surveys, Attitudes Toward Obese Persons Scale (ATOP) and the Anti-fat Attitudes (AFA) were employed to measure nursing students’ beliefs regarding obesity pre- and post-intervention. The educational intervention was delivered to 15 students and consisted of informational videos, lectures and a theatrical production focused on the etiology of obesity and the impact of the provider’s attitudes.
Results: The results revealed that while both instruments showed a trend towards improvement only the AFA yielded a statistically significant change reflecting decreased bias. Results on AFA indicated that each of the 5-items had a significant decrease in the mean from pre- to post-intervention (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Consistent with prior research the results demonstrated that introducing educational material on weight-based bias in nursing curriculum may serve to help diminish bias towards patients with overweight and obesity.

Perceptions of the Flu Vaccine in the Setting of COVID-19
Creators: name: Vogel-Hanley, Lauren A
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

Background: Vaccination is a key component to public and personal preventative health. The COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated the need for further research into how best to encourage vaccination, especially in harder to reach or vulnerable populations.
Purpose: This project sought to evaluate beliefs and perceptions of the flu vaccine in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore the views of the project site’s population in order to develop more targeted educational programs for increasing flu vaccination. The project focused on the ambulatory population of the emergency department.
Methods: The survey tool administered was based on the National Flu Survey to evaluate potential numbers of vaccination and rationale if participants choose to decline vaccination. It was administered to adult English-speaking patients in an urban academic medical center emergency department and then the survey was analyzed for differences in attitude between specific demographic groups. Data was collected via RedCap electronic data capture tools.
Results: A total of 69 patients participated in the survey. No correlation was found between demographic data and the likelihood of being vaccinated for flu or COVID-19. The most significant correlation was between previous flu vaccination and current vaccination for both flu and COVID-19.
Conclusion: Previous vaccination indicates a willingness to seek future vaccinations in those seeking emergency care. Future interventions should be focused on those who historically have not been vaccinated.

description: Additional file 16: Figure S16. Workflow of evaluation and selection of PCs as filters in tmap for a subset of target variables. The workflow begins with principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) of a microbiome dataset to obtain individual PCs and the proportion of total variance explained by each PC. Aggregated scores of the chosen target variables are then calculated for each PC by using the PC as filter in tmap. Ranking and accumulation curve of the aggregated scores is then employed to select the most suitable PCs for a final tmap analysis, according to a specified threshold of the cumulative aggregated scores. Details of score calculation are shown alongside each step.

The supertube probe computation can be carried over directly to a string probe calculation on the U-dual background. The classical equations of motion are solved explicitly. In general, the probe is not restricted to travel unidirectionally through any global time coordinate. In particular, we find geodesics that close.

description: Antiferromagnets (AFs) attract much attention due to potential applications in spintronics. Both the electric current and the electric field are considered as tools suitable to control properties and the Néel vector direction of AFs. Among AFs, CuMnAs has been shown to exhibit specific properties that result in the existence of the current-induced spin-orbit torques commensurate with spin directions and topological Dirac quasiparticles. Here, we report on the observation of a reversible effect of an electric field on the resistivity of CuMnAs thin films, employing ionic liquid as a gate insulator. The data allow to determine the carrier type, concentration, and mobility independently of the Hall effect that may be affected by an anomalous component.

description: Alloy formation in ScGaN is explored using rf molecular beam epitaxy over the Sc fraction range x = 0-100%. Optical and structural analysis show separate regimes of growth, namely I) wurtzite-like but having local lattice distortions in the vicinity of the ScGa substitutions for small x (x < 0.17), II) a transitional regime for intermediate x, and III) cubic, rocksalt-like for large x (x > 0.54). In regimes I and III, the direct optical transition decreases approximately linearly with increasing x but with an offset over region II. Importantly, it is found that for regime I, an anisotropic lattice expansion occurs with increasing x in which a increases much more than c. These observations support the prediction of Farrer and Bellaiche [Phys. Rev. B 66, 201203-1 (2002)] of a metastable layered hexagonal phase of ScN, denoted h-ScN.

description: Spin-1 antiferromagnets are abundant in nature, but few theories or results exist to understand their general properties and behavior, particularly in situations when geometric frustration is present. Here we study the $S=1$ Kagome compound Na$_2$Ti$_3$Cl$_8$ using a combination of Density Functional Theory, Exact Diagonalization, and Density Matrix Renormalization Group methods to achieve a first principles supported explanation of exotic magnetic phases in this compound. We find that the effective magnetic Hamiltonian includes essential non-Heisenberg terms that do not stem from spin-orbit coupling, and both trimerized and spin-nematic magnetic phases are relevant. The experimentally observed structural transition to a breathing Kagome phase is driven by spin--lattice coupling, which favors the trimerized magnetic phase against the quadrupolar one. We thus show that lattice effects can be necessary to understand the magnetism in frustrated magnetic compounds, and surmise that Na$_2$Ti$_3$Cl$_8$ is a compound which cannot be understood from only electronic or only lattice Hamiltonians, very much like VO$_2$.

description: We investigate the distribution of fluctuations in solar irradiance when integrated over the full disk, obtained using extreme ultraviolet/soft X-ray observations from the SOHO CELIAS/SEM instrument. This time series sums over both the contributions of single distinguishable flares, and of many other processes. By detrending we select events with timescales of less than a few hours such as waves, slow flows, and CMEs. The statistics generated by this range of phenomena can be characterised by power-law-tailed distributions. We show that (i) during the high-activity period 2000 Jan-June the tail exponent a(T)=1.5 +/- 0.1; (ii) during the low-activity period 1996 Jan-June a(T)=3.0 +/- 0.2; and (iii) in general a(T) decreases with increasing activity.

Wohnen im Alter für Menschen mit Sucht illegaler Substanzen in der Stadt Luzern: Empfehlung zur Planung und Umsetzung von institutionellen Wohnangeboten im Bereich der Schadensminderung
Creators: name: Roth, Jasmin

description: Diese Bachelorarbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema des institutionellen Wohnens mit Sucht illegaler Substanzen im Alter. Sie soll als Empfehlung zur Planung und Umsetzung von institutionellen Wohnangeboten in der Schadensminderung für alternde Menschen mit Sucht illegaler Substanzen in der Stadt Luzern dienen. Um die Empfehlung zu erarbeiten wird zuerst theoretisch auf die Themen Sucht, Alter und Wohnen eingegangen. Im Forschungsteil wurden zur weiteren Wissens- und Informationsgewinnung Interviews mit zwei Fachpersonen aus der Praxis sowie mit vier Betroffenen geführt. Die Prognose der Langzeitpflege im Kanton Luzern geht im Zeitraum von 2019 bis 2045 von einer Verdoppelung der über 85-Jährigen und einer Zunahme von 70% der über 65-Jährigen
im Kanton Luzern lebenden Menschen aus. Die Zunahme von alternden Menschen mit Pflegebedarf zeigt sich auch im Suchtbereich. Im Kanton Luzern besteht bis anhin kein spezifisches institutionelles Wohnangebot für alternde Menschen mit Sucht illegaler Substanzen. Aus den qualitativ ausgewerteten Interviews der Fachpersonen und Betroffenen geht deutlich hervor, dass die Umsetzung eines institutionellen Wohnangebotes für ältere Menschen mit Sucht illegaler Substanzen in der Stadt Luzern dringend notwendig ist. Sämtliche Betroffenen nannten die Angst, im Alter zurück auf die Gasse zu müssen, da es in der Stadt Luzern keine Angebote für sie gibt. Das Altersleitbild des Kantons Luzern beschreibt, dass ältere Menschen
ihr Leben und den Bereich Wohnen im Alter möglichst weit selber gestalten können sollen
(Gesundheits- und Sozialdepartement, 2022, Dezember). Damit alternde Menschen diese Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten wahrnehmen können, benötigt es passende Angebote für alle Gruppen von alternden Menschen.

Addressing Implicit Bias to Improve the Engagement and Retention Rate of the Under-Represented Minorities in Substance Use Treatment.

Background: Racial and ethnic minorities' care for substance use disorder is negatively affected by biases, prejudices, and stereotypes in healthcare. This has created a general mistrust of the healthcare system and has constituted a barrier preventing minority patients from seeking care. Implicit biases are harmful, and this project aimed to bring awareness to this issue through educational activities to empower nurses in recognizing the problem.
Methods: Twelve nurse-care managers in an outpatient addictions treatment clinic volunteered to participate in an educational session on implicit bias and its impact on the healthcare environment. The training involved an interactive presentation utilizing an implicit bias test and case studies to guide the discussion. In addition, pre and post presentation surveys were used to determine the impact of the training on the perceptions, opinions, and attitudes of the project participants.
Results: Despite most of the project participants stating that they did not have implicit biases, six agreed that awareness of biases could help improve healthcare outcomes for underrepresented minorities. Only one strongly disagreed that awareness of implicit biases could improve outcomes for patients from underrepresented minorities.
Conclusion: There was a lack of awareness of implicit biases among participants, indicating the need to implement evidence-based practices to provide culturally appropriate care and services to diverse patients. Also, more education is needed in healthcare workplaces to make the care providers understand how implicit bias affects the health outcomes of marginalized groups.
Getting Smart with Care Transitions Communication: Utilization of an Electronic Medical Record Smart Text Template During Discharge in Adult Hematology-Oncology Patients

Transitions of care are complex processes for healthcare facilities, healthcare personnel, and the patients involved. The transition from acute, inpatient care to community, outpatient-based care can be especially challenging for hematology-oncology patients and may be attributed to a lack of standardized discharge processes and poor communication between clinicians. Standardizing discharge communication was hypothesized to improve communication timeliness and completeness in a hospital-based inpatient and outpatient ambulatory cancer clinic. A QI project was conducted using an updated standardized discharge summary and EMR-based Smart Text (ST) template intervention. Communication was measured using hospital discharge data and a Healthcare Provider Communication Questionnaire (HPCQ) administered before and after implementation. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize and identify the characteristics of the captured data. Out of 92 discharges over a three-month span, 91 discharges (98.91%) utilized the updated discharge summary. In a sample of outpatient hematology-oncology healthcare providers (HCPs) (n=5), there were shifting priorities in what information was considered essential depending on the type of provider and their role. Across all communication components, there was an increase in the frequency of type of information communicated by up to 31.58%, receipt of discharge communication within two days of discharge by 23.53%, and communication completeness by 12.5%. Communication strengths and areas for improvement included similar themes of filling out the discharge summary to completion and verbal sign-out. The results of this study suggest that standardization of communication might increase timeliness and completeness of discharge information and improve patient outcomes.

description: Stochasticity is introduced to a well studied class of recursively grown graphs: $(u,v)$-flower nets, which have power-law degree distributions as well as small-world properties (when $u=1$). The stochastic variant interpolates between different (deterministic) flower graphs and might better model real-world networks. The random multiplicative growth process involved, however, leads to a spread ensemble of networks with finite variance for the number of links, nodes, and loops. Nevertheless, the degree exponent and loopiness exponent attain unique values in the thermodynamic limit of infinitely large graphs. We also study a class of mixed flower networks, closely related to the stochastic flowers, but which are grown recursively in a deterministic way. The deterministic growth of mixed flower-nets eliminates ensemble spreads, and their recursive growth allows for exact analysis of their (uniquely defined) mixed properties.
