Exploring Wellness Among Childcare Staff in North Carolina: Creating a Culture of Health for Adults and Young Children
Creators: name: Aylward, Aileen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Objectives: The early childhood education workforce is an important partner in childhood obesity prevention. However, childcare providers tend to have high obesity rates. This project's goal is to develop an understanding of childcare staffs' goals, needs, and experiences related to wellness. Methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted with childcare center directors and teachers who participate in Shape NC, a childhood obesity prevention program. Results: Staff report having wellness routines, feel that their workplaces benefit their health, see themselves as role models for children's health, and expressed interest in receiving support for workplace wellness programming. Conclusions: Staff perceive that their health is linked to children's wellbeing, and are key partners in obesity prevention. Their role can be strengthened by integrating staff wellness into Shape NC training and programming.
Modelling Economic Returns to Plant Variety Protection in the UK
Creators: name: Srinivasan, Chittur
Publisher: name: Bio-based and Applied Economics
Year: 2012

description: This paper attempts an empirical assessment of the incentive effects of plant variety protection regimes in the generation of crop variety innovations. A duration model of plant variety protection certificates is used to infer the private appropriability of returns from agricultural crop variety innovations in the UK over the period 1965-2000. The results suggest that plant variety protection provides only modest appropriability of returns to innovators of agricultural crop varieties. The val- ue distribution of plant variety protection certificates is highly skewed with a large proportion of innovations providing virtually no returns to innovators. Increasing competition from newer varieties appears to have accelerated the turnover of varie- ties reducing appropriability further. Plant variety protection emerges as a relatively weak instrument of protection.

description: This study analyses European consumers’ awareness and determinants of use of PDO, PGI and TSG labels in six European countries (Italy, Spain, France, Bel- gium, Norway and Poland) using data from a cross-sectional survey with 4,828 participants. The study confirms a higher awareness of PDO (68.1%) as compared to PGI (36.4%) and TSG (25.2%). Awareness is higher among men and people aged above 50 years. Consumers’ use of a PDO, PGI or TSG label is triggered by the belief that the label signals better product quality. Quality beliefs are shaped by an interest in getting information about product quality through the quality label. Interest in the origin of foods is a stronger direct and indirect driver of label use than interest in support for the local economy, but both motivations are not directly related to TSG-label use. Differences in the role of determinants are small between the three labelling schemes and between countries with versus without a strong tradition of quality labels in their agri- cultural and food quality policies. Apart from building general awareness and favourable quality perceptions of the quality schemes and their respective labels, efforts to stimulate consumers’ interest in origin and getting information about product quality through EU quality labels are recommended.

description: The scientific domain of «agricultural and applied economics» is an open issue. In this paper, we analyse the JEL codes of the articles published in seven major agricultural economics journals in the period 2000-11, in order to define which disciplines and which research areas are the «core business» of today’s agricultural and applied economists. A special attention has been given to the sub-sample of the Italian studies, since a new scientific society in this area (AIEAA) has been recently founded by a group of Italian economists.

The Bio-Economy Concept and Knowledge Base in a Public Goods and Farmer Perspective

Publisher: name: Bio-based and Applied Economics
Year: 2012

description: Currently an industrial perspective dominates the EU policy framework for a European bio-economy. The Commission’s proposal on the bio-economy emphasises greater resource-efficiency, largely within an industrial perspective on global economic competitiveness, benefiting capital-intensive industries at higher levels of the value chain. However a responsible bio-economy must initially address the sustainable use of resources. Many farmers are not only commodity producers but also providers of quality food and managers of the eco-system. A public goods-oriented bio-economy emphasises agro-ecological methods, organic and low (external) input farming systems, ecosystem services, social innovation in multi-stakeholder collective practices and joint production of knowledge. The potential of farmers and SMEs to contribute to innovation must be fully recognised. This approach recognises the importance of local knowledge enhancing local capabilities, while also accommodating diversity and complexity. Therefore the bio-economy concept should have a much broader scope than the dominant one in European Commission innovation policy. Socio-economic research is needed to inform strategies, pathways and stakeholder cooperation towards sustainability goals.

description: The basal plane cleavage energy (CE) of graphite is a key material parameter for understanding many of the unusual properties of graphite, graphene, and carbon nanotubes. The CE is equal to twice the surface energy and is closely related to the interlayer binding energy and exfoliation energy of graphite. Nonetheless, a wide range of values for these properties have been reported and no consensus has yet emerged as to their magnitude. Here, we report the first direct, accurate experimental measurement of the CE of graphite using a novel method based on the recently discovered self-retraction phenomenon in graphite. The measured value, 0.37 +/- 0.01 J/m2 for the incommensurate state of bicrystal graphite, is nearly invariant with respect to temperature (from 22°C to 198°C) and bicrystal twist angle, and insensitive to impurities (from the atmosphere). The cleavage energy for the ideal ABAB graphite stacking, 0.39 +/- 0.02 J/m2, is calculated based upon a combination of the measured CE and a theoretical calculation. These experimental measurements are ideal for use in evaluating the efficacy of competing theoretical approaches.
Women’s Autonomy, Employment and Education in India and their Influence on Facility Delivery

description: Objective:This study aims to analyze the influence of women’s autonomy, education and employment status on the use of facilities for delivery. Method: Data was derived from nationally representative survey conducted by National Family Health Survey in India From 2005-2006. Bivariate logistic regression analyses were done to calculate the unadjusted odds ratio (OR) and multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to control for the socioeconomic variables. Results: Women’s higher education level showed a strong positive association (OR=16.35) with facility delivery after controlling for socioeconomic variables. Higher autonomy measures also had a positive association with the outcome. However employed women were found be less likely to use facilities for delivery (OR=0.91). Conclusion: Women’s autonomy, education and socioeconomic status are significant determinants of maternal healthcare utilization.

Transfer of single farm payment entitlements to farm successors: impact on structural change and rental prices in Switzerland

description: This paper analyses the impact of tradable and non-tradable single farm payment (SFP) entitlements for farm successors on structural change and the lease market. Using the example of Swiss agriculture, the effects on rental-price trends and farm-exit rates are investigated. An ex-ante normative impact analysis is performed with the agent-based agricultural-sector model SWISSland, which simulates structural change processes and income trends in Swiss agriculture over a period of up to 15 years. A land market implemented at municipality level simulates the plot-by-plot leasing of land to surrounding neighbouring agents that is common in Switzerland. Allocation of plots to tenants as well as lease pricing is modelled taking into account the farm-specific land rents. The results show that personalised SFP entitlements which could not be transferred to a farm successor not only cause an intensification of structural change, but would also thus lead to a substantial reduction in rental prices. SFP entitlements which were successfully transferred to farm successors have only a slight impact on structural change and the rental prices of arable land. Only for grassland in the mountain region does a stronger shift result in a significant reduction in rental prices.

description: The Lagrangian fluid description is employed to solve the initial value problem for one-dimensional, compressible fluid flows represented by the Euler-Poisson system. Exact nonlinear and time-dependent solutions are obtained, which exhibit a variety of transient phenomena such as a density collapse in finite space-time or the appearance and, for the first time, a successive dissolution of wavelet structures during the same event. The latter are superimposed on the gross density pattern in the course of the uni-directional expansion of an initially localized density hump. Whereas self-gravitating fluids will always experience collapse, neutral fluids and fluids with repulsive forces, such as a non-neutral, pure electron fluid, can exhibit an evolution of the second type, being determined by the initial conditions. For an electron fluid, being embedded in a neutralizing ion background, these nonlinearities are, however, strongly diminished due to the omnipresent plasma oscillations, which weaken and alternatively change the sign of the collective force.

description: This article presents a multi-temporal uncertainty-based method that incorporates a statistical regression model with a view to establishing the risk (probability) of land cover changes as a function of a set of environmental and socio-economic driving factors. The morphologic, climatic and socio-economic variables were examined using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model and the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). Following the analysis, maps indicating the suitability to future changes were generated on the basis of observed transitions. From these maps two possible land use scenarios were built, applying the Markov chain principle. The region of Basilicata, in southern Italy, was selected for the analysis. The results highlight: a) a good inclination to change towards specialised crop systems, provided there is sufficient water supply; b) that some cropping patterns are not suitable for changes, partly because they are found in a context with severe limitations for alternative uses.

Year: 2012

description: The paper presents an evolutionary perspective on how Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS) have adapted over time to new challenges and technological paradigm and trajectories. Starting from a conventional science-based approach and the robust empirical evidence supporting it, the analysis highlights the emergence of some system failures and the need for new conceptualization and design of the AKIS. Particularly concentrating on developed countries’ agenda, we then discuss how, along this evolutionary pattern, bioeconomy emerges as the convergence of traditional sectors as a result of these new technological trajectories. Finally, some implications for the EU policies are drawn.

description: The increased interest in Integrated Assessment (IA) of agricultural systems reflects the growing complexity of policy objectives and corresponding impacts related to this sector. The paper contemplates on the status of quantitative tools for IA in agriculture, drawing on recent European experiences from the development and application of large-scale integrated modelling systems which are both multi-dimensional/disciplinary and covering multiple spatial scales. Specific challenges arise from the numerous roles of agriculture with societal relevance, the heterogeneity of farms and farming systems across a geographical region and the multitude of environmental impacts of interest associated with agricultural production. Conceptual differences between typical bio-physical and economic models as well as deficiencies regarding validation and uncertainty analysis require continued efforts to improve the tools.

A Qualitative Study into the Supplier Selection Decision-Making Process in the Malaysian SME Manufacturing Industry
Creators: name: Rahaman, Farlon
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: In manufacturing, supplier selection is viewed as the foundation of supply chain management, as the choice of the supplier will inherently affect all other aspects of business. This study explores the supplier selection decision-making process within Malaysian manufacturing firms. Previous studies in supplier selection have focused on company performance and quality management. Preceding research in this field, offers evidence that the application of information technology tools, business intelligence tools and artificial intelligence tools can be beneficial to the supplier selection decision-making process. In particular, the study explores the presence and usage of the information technology tools, business intelligence tools and artificial intelligence tools, to support the supplier selection decision making process in Malaysian SME manufacturing companies. Data for this research has been collected from six cases located in Malaysia, and was lead through semi-structured interviews. The findings present online global marketplaces as a supplier sourcing method, unstructured evaluation methods and supplier selection process. Information technology supports the supplier selection process by the usage of mobile applications and online communication tools to increase the speed of information exchange. Business intelligence presents tools developed in Malaysia, in alignment with the needs of Malaysian SME manufacturers. Artificial intelligence tools presented no usage or presence in these cases. Finally, this study uncovers the impact of Malaysian culture on the supplier selection process and their supporting tools. Amongst the contributions are: an understanding of the supplier selection process in the Malaysian SME manufacturing, shedding light on the supplier evaluation process, supplier selection criteria and supplier sourcing methods. Adding a new dimension to the existing body of literature is the use of ICT and BI tools, which support the supplier selection process. The contributions are of benefit to practitioners, as the components of the study sheds light into a non-western context.

description: Different formulations of Einstein's equations used in numerical relativity can affect not only the stability but also the accuracy of numerical simulations. In the original Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura (BSSN) formulation, the loss of the angular momentum, $J$, is non-negligible in highly spinning single black hole evolutions. This loss also appears, usually right after the merger, in highly spinning binary black hole simulations, The loss of $J$ may be attributed to some unclear numerical dissipation. Reducing unphysical dissipation is expected to result in more stable and accurate evolutions. In the previous work \cite{yhlc12} we proposed several modifications which are able to prevent black hole evolutions from the unphysical dissipation, and the resulting simulations are more stable than in the traditional BSSN formulation. Specifically, these three modifications (M1, M2, and M3) enhance the effects of stability, hyperbolicity, and dissipation of the formulation. We experiment further in this work with these modifications, and demonstrate that these modifications improve the accuracy and also effectively suppress the loss of $J$, particularly in the black hole simulations with the initially large ratio of $J$ and the square of the ADM mass.

Year: 2014

description: OBJECTIVE This study is a descriptive analysis of doula-assisted care in the United States from a national sample of women, including African American, Hispanic/Latina, Asian, and Native American. METHODS The study population (n=12,577) comprised primiparous women with normal pregnancies, and no planned cesareans, who received intrapartum care from doulas from 2000 to 2013. Descriptive statistics were calculated for characteristics of mothers, and their outcomes during labor, birth, and immediate postpartum, by race and ethnicity. Comparisons were drawn with national data. RESULTS Cesarean delivery rates for doula mothers ranged from 12-22% depending on ethnicity, compared to the national rate of 32.8%. Doula mothers were nearly 50% less likely to use medical interventions, and more likely to initiate breastfeeding than the general population of birthing mothers. CONCLUSIONS Substantial evidence indicates intrapartum care by doulas may be a safe way to decrease medical interventions, lower the primary cesarean rate, and increase breastfeeding initiation for primiparous women in the United States.

description: This paper analyses the production costs and income of eight groups of farms: five private farms and three belonging to the Andean rural community. These farms are located in Peru and Bolivia and breed alpacas and llama for both meat and fibre. The research is based on case studies. Each case study includes several farms, grouped according to similar characteristics: available resources; breeding techniques and geographical location. A farm economic data analysis was undertaken by determining economic budget income. Statistics and data from 2003 were analysed to determine farm resources and farm production costs, per animal head and net farm income per labour unit and livestock head. This paper is relevant as regards economic data for production systems which are more often analysed for sociological and cultural aspects and less often for economic data and identification of real productive economic data which are not generally market driven.

description: In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the Eschenauer-Gligor (EG) key pre-distribution scheme is a widely recognized way to secure communications. Although connectivity properties of secure WSNs with the EG scheme have been extensively investigated, few results address physical transmission constraints. These constraints reflect real-world implementations of WSNs in which two sensors have to be within a certain distance from each other to communicate. In this paper, we present zero-one laws for connectivity in WSNs employing the EG scheme under transmission constraints. These laws help specify the critical transmission ranges for connectivity. Our analytical findings are confirmed via numerical experiments. In addition to secure WSNs, our theoretical results are also applied to frequency hopping in wireless networks.

description: The production of genetically modified (GM) animals is an emerging technique that could potentially impact the livestock and pharmaceutical industries. Currently, food products derived from GM animals have not yet entered the market whilst two pharmaceutical products have. The objective of this paper is twofold: first it aims to explore the socio-economic drivers affecting the use of GM animals and, second, to review the risks and benefits from the point of view of the life sciences. A scoping study was conducted to assess research relevant to understanding the main drivers influencing the adoption of GM applications and their potential risks and benefits. Public and producers’ acceptance, public policies, human health, animal welfare, environmental impact and sustainability are considered as the main factors affecting the application of GM animal techniques in livestock and pharmaceutical chains.

description: EU agriculture and rural areas face significant medium-term challenges arising from existing and ‘new’ sources; as acknowledged in the EU2020 vision. The European Commission has placed emphasis upon innovation as a key element in achieving transformation, in the coming decade. Findings from a recent study for the European Parliament highlight the potential role of Pillar 2 rural development pro- grammes as vehicles for enabling innovation. Key roles include supporting knowledge exchange; collaboration; and research-into-practice linkages. Effective knowledge exchange (KE) is a critical element, but innovation in KE itself is often needed. Collaboration can be valuable in fostering cross-sectoral linkages, and communities of learning show innovation potential. Integration of measures in tailored packages appears to increase the scope for innovation. Equally important, there is a vital need for innovation in policy design and delivery, to enable a cost-effective transformation of agriculture and rural areas. The CAP proposals 2014-2020 make a positive contri- bution to better promote innovation through Pillar 2, but there is room for improvement. Models for policy innovation adapted from experience in commercial organisations are suggested as worthy of further research.

description: PURPOSE: This report describes the step-by-step process that led to expansion of ambulatory care pharmacy services at a newly established internal medicine clinic within a patient-centered medical home in North Carolina.
SUMMARY: Implementation of clinical pharmacist services at the clinic was led by a postgraduate year 2 (PGY2) pharmacy resident and guided by the 9 steps described in the book Building a Successful Ambulatory Care Practice: A Complete Guide for Pharmacists. After a needs assessment and review of the demographics and insurance status of the clinic's target population, it was determined that pharmacist services would focus on quality measures including diabetes nephropathy screening, diabetes eye examination, blood glucose control in diabetes, discharge medication reconciliation, annual wellness visits, and medication adherence in diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension. Clinic appointments were conducted under 3 models: a pharmacist-physician covisit model, a "floor model" of pharmacist consultation on drug information or medication management issues during medical resident sign-out sessions with supervising physicians (medical residents could also see patients along with the pharmacist at a covisit appointment), and a covisit model of stacked physician and pharmacist appointments. The pharmacist's services were expanded from 2 half-day clinic sessions per week initially to 5 or 6 half-day clinic sessions by the end of the residency year.
CONCLUSION: By the fourth quarter of the first PGY2 residency year in which ambulatory care pharmacy services were provided in the clinic, the clinical and financial impact of those services justified the addition of a second full-time pharmacist to the clinic team.

Zero Tolerance: A Training Curriculum for Direct Care Providers to Identify, Report, and Prevent Abuse Against Persons with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities
Creators: name: Placencia, Nellie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: The prevalence of abuse and violence against persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) is significantly higher than those without such disabilities. Additionally, direct care providers and caregivers are often unaware of the high rates of victimization for those with IDD and are often not trained in how to report such abuse if they suspect it is occurring. This paper seeks to explore the prevalence rates of violence against persons with IDD in the United States and North Carolina, as well as describe risk and protective factors for this population. This paper also presents a rationale for the use of the Zero Tolerance training curriculum in North Carolina, a curriculum for direct care providers on identifying, reporting, and preventing abuse, neglect, and exploitation against persons with IDD.

description: This study elucidates the implications of blockchain technology on the product and service offerings of a multinational corporation, examined through the lens of Karl Marx’s seminal work “Capital: A Critique of Political Economy”. Blockchain’s potential to decentralize control and distribute power counteracts Marx’s critique of worker alienation in capitalist economies. My investigation indicates that blockchain’s transparency can help demystify commodity fetishism by revealing production processes, and its decentralized structure can challenge the centralization of capital, offering solutions to traditional capitalist problems. This research contributes a unique perspective on the impact of blockchain technology in global companies, suggesting a revolutionary shift not only in their operations but also in their social relations of production. The study concludes by acknowledging the potential challenges in the practical implementation of these theoretical insights and suggests future research directions to overcome these obstacles.
Quantifying the Difference Between the Flux-Tube Expansion Factor at the Source Surface and at the Alfvén Surface Using A Global MHD Model for the Solar Wind

description: The potential field approximation has been providing a fast, and computationally inexpensive estimation for the solar corona's global magnetic field geometry for several decades. In contrast, more physics-based global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models have been used for a similar purpose, while being much more computationally expensive. Here, we investigate the difference in the field geometry between a global MHD model and the potential field source surface model (PFSSM) by tracing individual magnetic field lines in the MHD model from the Alfven surface (AS), through the source surface (SS), all the way to the field line footpoint, and then back to the source surface in the PFSSM. We also compare the flux-tube expansion at two points at the SS and the AS along the same radial line. We study the effect of solar cycle variations, the order of the potential field harmonic expansion, and different magnetogram sources. We find that the flux-tube expansion factor is consistently smaller at the AS than at the SS for solar minimum and the fast solar wind, but it is consistently larger for solar maximum and the slow solar wind. We use the Wang--Sheeley--Arge (WSA) model to calculate the associated wind speed for each field line, and propagate these solar-wind speeds to 1AU. We find a more than five hours deviation in the arrival time between the two models for 20% of the field lines in the solar minimum case, and for 40% of the field lines in the solar maximum case.
An integrated PMP model to assess the development of agro-energy crops and the effect on water requirements

description: This paper presents an integrated model for the economic and environmental assessment of the use of natural resources when new activities (i.e. biomass crops for energy production) are introduced into the farm production plan. The methodology is based on the integration of positive mathematical programming (PMP) with the AquaCrop model developed by FAO. PMP represents farmer decision processes and evaluates how farms react to the biomass-sorghum activity option at different price levels. AquaCrop evaluates the relationship between water needs and biomass production and assesses the effect of the land allocation on water requirements at regional level. The integration of these two models assists global policy evaluation at regional level as it makes it possible to identify the economic threshold for biomass crops, the change in land allocation and total water requirement. The model can help policy makers to evaluate the impacts of variations in crop profitability and market innovations on farm profitability, land use and water consumption and the sustainability of the market scenario.

Researching the rates of low birth weight and preterm birth for multiracial mothers, United States 2009
Creators: name: Bland, Rachel
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Objective: The objective of this study is to research the rates of low birth weight and preterm birth for multiracial mothers in the United States in 2009. Methods: This analysis uses 2009 National Vital Statistics Natality data to discover the likelihood of low birth weight and preterm birth for nine single and multi-racial categories. A logistic regression was conducted using all Non-Hispanic singleton births to United States residents, adjusting for age and education. Results: Approximately 2% of mothers who gave birth in 2009 were multiracial. Non-Hispanic multiracial women experience low birth weight and preterm birth at rates in between that of Non-Hispanic White and Non-Hispanic Black women, the racial categories with the lowest and highest rates respectively. Education appears to be a protective factor for Non-Hispanic multiracial American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) mothers and Non-Hispanic multiracial Black mothers for low birth weight. It is a protective factor for preterm birth for Non-Hispanic multiracial AI/AN mothers but seems to increase the risk for Non-Hispanic Asian mothers. Conclusion: A disparity for low birth weight and preterm birth rates between races persists. As the United States becomes more racially diverse, better research measurements are needed to capture race/ethnicity and other social determinants contributing to poor pregnancy outcomes.
