Creators: name: Mobley, Aleesa Mae
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among illness representations, affective reaction and lifestyle physical activity in community dwelling adults who experience symptoms of (non-cancer) persistent chronic and neuropathic pain. Rationale: Using the framework of the Common Sense model of self-regulation, theoretically derived antecedents to the adaptation of coping behaviors consistent with participation in lifestyle physical activity included illness representations of identity, consequences, personal control, treatment control and level of pain catastrophizing.   Methods: The sample population consisted of 115 adults, age 21 through 64, who were scheduled for an intervention pain management procedure at an outpatient surgical center between April and September 2013. Data were collected using a modified Taylor Design Method. Hypotheses were tested using correlational and hierarchical multiple regression analyses.   Results: Significant correlations were revealed between several illness representation dimensions (illness identity and illness consequences) and lifestyle physical activity. All dimensions of illness representations tested were significantly correlated with pain catastrophizing. Regression analysis revealed a significant and independent effect of illness consequence representations on lifestyle physical activity and of illness identity (number of symptoms), illness consequence, and personal control representations on pain catastrophizing.    Conclusions: The experience of persistent chronic and neuropathic pain with its varied symptom profile is different from that of stable chronic pain and has a negative effect on illness representations. Negative illness representations are highly associated with pain catastrophizing and independently associated with depression and anxiety. Pain catastrophizing may have a greater effect on work-activity rather than life style physical activity.  Additional investigations are needed improve nursing assessment of chronic pain and to develop interventions that reduce negative affective reactions and improve work engagement for adults living with persistent, chronic and neuropathic pain.

Range: The Ussuri mole commonly inhabits friable soils over most of Korea except remote islands (3 rd National Nature-Environmental Survey 2006–2013 unpublished electronic data; Fig. 16).
Remarks: Two subspecies, M. r. robusta Nehring, 1891 and M. r. coreana Thomas, 1907 were recorded in Korea. Based on mitochondrial cytochrome b gene analysis, M. robusta from South Korea clustered with samples from the Russian Far East (Tsuchiya et al. 2000). Also, the moles of South Korea showed no genetic divergence (rRNA and cytochrome b gene) from moles in northeastern China and Russian Far East, despite considerable morphological differences with M. wogura (Koh et al. 2012b). The larger M. r. robusta inhabits alpine environments in extreme northern Korea and the smaller M. r. coreana occupies most of Korea except the extreme North. Hutterer (2005b) regarded M. robusta as a subspecies of M. wogura.

Somatic countertransference experiences of nurse therapeutic touch practitioners
Creators: name: Monetti, Catherine Jirak

Year: 2014

description: This qualitative study describes somatic countertransference (SCT) experiences of nurse Therapeutic Touch (TT) practitioners during their work with traumatized clients. Increased understanding of SCT can further promote the role of TT in trauma therapy. Orbach and Carroll (2006) define SCT as “the therapist’s awareness of their own body, of sensations, images, impulses, and feelings that offer a link to the client’s healing process” (p. 64). The study is timely and aligned with current state of the science on use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM; WHCCAMP, 2000; Strauss, Coeytaux, McDuffie, Williams, Nagi, & Wing, 2011). Its findings pose an alternative to current exposure-based psychotherapies. Following IRB approval, purposeful sampling was used to recruit and interview eight expert nurse TT practitioners. After signing the informed consent, sixty-minute face-to-face in-depth interviews were conducted in a private setting of the participants’ choice, and audio taped. A semi-structured interview guide with six open-ended questions was used to collect sufficient narrative data to answer the main research question: “What is the experience of SCT as described by nurse TT practitioners who have cared for traumatized patients within the previous 6 to 12 months?” Qualitative data from verbatim transcription of interviews were analyzed using the preferred method of latent content analysis described by Sandelowski (1993, 1995, 2000, 2010). Codes and subcategories were grounded exclusively in the data (Patton, 2002; Krippendorff, 2004). Categories and one major theme were inductively generated to reveal the underlying meaning in the communication (Chang, 2001). Data saturation was reached (Sandelowski, 1995). Consensus on coding and results of data analysis was achieved to produce a credible research report. Ten subcategories and three categories led to the emergent theme, “A Language for Healing Trauma.” Consistent with communication research in the social sciences (Krippendorff, 1989), SCT was found to be a factor in the healing of trauma that emanated from the verbal and nonverbal communication of one group of nurse TT practitioners in their interaction with their traumatized clients.

description: Despite the known short and long term benefits of physical activity, participation in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity continues to decline throughout the lifespan.  Female Asian college students have been shown to be the least physically active of all college students, yet there is limited research of Asian ethnic subgroups.  The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between acculturation, microaggression, social norms, and socioeconomic status and engagement in physical activity among female Chinese American college students.   A total of 203 female Chinese American students attending college in the San Francisco Bay area participated in the study.  Participants completed a demographic questionnaire and four additional online surveys measuring the study variables.   The majority of study participants (&8.3%) reported being physically active at levels to obtain health benefits.  This entails engaging in moderate physical activity for at least 30 minutes on 5 or more days each week.  The expectation of significant others, such as parents and friends, to be physically active was found to be significantly correlated to engagement in physical activity (r = .28, p = .000).  Socioeconomic status was also positively correlated with engagement in physical activity (r = .14, p = .04&).  Together these variables accounted for 12% of the variance in the sample, although expectations of significant others (social norms) explained 10% of the variance.   Study findings have many implications for future research and practice.  Social norms and socioeconomic status only explained a small amount of the variance in physical activity.  College professors are in a position to be more involved in promoting physical activity and additional factors influencing engagement in physical activity among college students should be explored.  The female Chinese American college students were found to be less physically active as they get older and progressed through the college years.  Although the association did not reach significance, it is important to understand factors influencing participation in PA and reasons for the decline in PA.  The college setting is ideal for culturally effective intervention efforts promoting PA as a healthy lifestyle behavior.
The social and geographical patterns of sexual offending
Creators: name: Mogavero, Melanie Clark

description: The development of sex offender residence restriction laws are predicated on the assumption sexual offenders pose an increased risk to the public.  The laws create zones where registered sex offenders are prohibited from residing near landmarks where children congregate.  Despite the support for these laws, there appears to be little evidence of their efficacy.  Evidence has demonstrated these laws may be doing more harm than good by inhibiting successful community reintegration.      When sex offenders commit offenses, are they likely to do so by selecting victims who reside in close proximity to where they live and in close proximity to schools, parks, daycares, and religious institutions?  The argument against residence restriction laws is sex offenders can live near a restricted area and offend within their household, or travel elsewhere to meet victims.  The goals of this study are: 1).  to identify the social and physical proximity between offenders and victims, 2).  to identify if offenders met or contacted victims or committed offenses in close proximity of restricted landmarks, and 3).  to examine any differences among offenders who do and do not meet or contact victims in close proximity to offender’s residence and in close proximity to a restricted landmark.    The current study consisted of 2&0 males who are or were incarcerated in one correctional facility in New Jersey.  The results demonstrated nearly half the sample shared a household with their victim, and nearly half of sex offenders were related to their victim by blood or marriage.  Although it was revealed most sex offenders resided within 2,500 feet of one of the restricted landmarks, after examining the methods offenders used to meet victims, and how far offenders traveled to meet or establish contact with victims, residing near restricted landmarks did not contribute to an offender’s ability to access victims.  Of the 2&0 sex offenders, the offense patterns consistent with many residence restriction laws were applicable to less than one percent.  This dissertation concludes with a discussion of the findings, policy implications, and future research recommendations.

description: Military women have been written out of the historical record, despite the fact that they have served in the United States military since the beginning of time. This thesis seeks to place women back in their rightful place in military history by exploring the unique experiences of U.S. military women during the Vietnam War and the immediate post-war. It analyzes gender, race, sexuality, and sexual assault in the military, among military women who served in Vietnam and stateside. Furthermore, it examines the coping mechanisms utilized by servicewomen and their memories of war, looking at how history has been rewritten to exclude references to anything that may have complicated the perceptions of military women as noble pillars of American virtue. As the war drew to a close, the military began to change with the creation of the all volunteer force, and this project explores the gains made by servicewomen during the last years of the war and shortly after the war, but also the backlash that halted the fight for military equality and allowed for women’s contributions to be forgotten and. In the immediate post-war period, this thesis delves into women’s experiences returning to civilian life and healing from war. While veterans always face challenges reacclimating, Vietnam-era female veterans faced their own challenges, many due to their status as non-veterans and the backlash that wrote their service out of military history. By analyzing experiences specific to Vietnam-era military women, this dissertation seeks to complicate military history.

Cestius sakroensis Ahmed & Sultana.
Material examined. Pakistan: paratype 3, Cestius sakroensis, Sakro, 15.vi.1987, Zahida Sultana, grass; 13, Sindh Prov., Tando Jam, 28.iii.07.
Remarks. There is considerable confusion in the original publication in which the descriptions of Cestius sakroensis and C. triradiatus (see below) appear. This results from the presence of three blank pages, i.e., pages 128, 130 and 132 (of the descriptive pages 126–?132) and that some descriptive parts of both species may have been transposed. Clearly at least, the first part of the missing page 128 applies to sakroensis as it follows on from the first part of its description on page 126 and its figures on page 127. However, it is not clear where its description ends and the description of triradiatus starts and finishes. On page 129, there is mention of both species and a comparative statement and material examined for triradiatus (that one would expect to find after its description) but which follows a description of genitalia that would seem to fit the figure of sakroensis e.g. “plates diverging towards apex, possessing 5 prominent macrosetae”. If this genitalia description is for sakroensis then the reference to the atrial processes of the aedeagus is really the paired shafts and the “shaft longer than the atrial processes....bifurcating slightly prior to midlength” refers to the processes.
Only one set of type data is present in the original publication for sakroensis and triradiatus (on page 129) and, due to the above uncertainties, it is not clear to which of the two species it belongs. The data reads: “ Holotype male, Karachi, Pakistan, grass, 15.vi.1987, Zahida Sultana, and several paratypes with the same data as the holotype ” (ZMUK). However, as the type locality, Sakro appears on a paratype of sakroensis and is clearly the origin of the name, the Karachi data should belong to triradiatus. However, although examined material labelled as the types of triradiatus bears most of the correct data, it bears only the place name ‘Jhok’. This locality, together with Sakro, provides another discrepancy as in the introduction to the paper all material is indicated as being from the Karachi area, whereas these localities are some 50km away. Lastly, the figures of sakroensis show the aedeagal processes longer than the shaft but this appears not to be the case in the examined paratype.

A summary of climate change impacts and preparedness opportunities for the coastal communities in New Jersey
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: This analysis provides an overview of adaptation planning for climate change as specifically relates to coastal communities. The first section of this report outlines background information on coastal communities in New Jersey, including a description of how the coastline is currently regulated and managed. The next section deals with the broad potential impacts of climate change on coastal communities, followed by a discussion of these impacts specific to New Jersey. Any current New Jersey efforts as well as current and planned adaptation practices and strategies in other states along the Atlantic Coast are presented as the basis for a series of recommendations as a starting point for discussion and prioritization of comprehensive adaptation planning for New Jersey. Although the focus is on impacts to coastal communities, particular attention is given to initiatives and strategies that can be undertaken at the state level, which offers the greatest opportunity for a more coordinated effort to respond and adapt to climate change.
Can random matrix theory resolve Markowitz optimization enigma?
Creators: name: Ng, Kim Wah
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Modern finance theory is based on the simple concept of risk and return trade-off. Risk is based upon one holding a diversified portfolio to get the lowest level of risk for a given expected return. This is the foundation of Markowitz’s mean-variance (MV) efficient portfolio.  For nearly six decades since Markowitz’s pioneering work, it is still a puzzle as to why there are persistent doubts about the performance of MV approach to portfolio selection and the lack of acceptance as a viable tool in the investment community. This puzzle is coined as the “Markowitz optimization enigma”. The major problem with MV optimization is its tendency to maximize the effects of estimation errors in the risk and return estimates.  iii  The latest attempt to reduce the noise in covariance estimates is a branch from physics that uses Random Matrix Theory (RMT) prediction. The prediction is that when the number of securities is large relative to the number of observations, the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix within a predicted band closely resemble the distribution as if they were generated from purely random returns. These studies believe that by modifying the eigenvalues within the predicted band, the “filtered” covariance matrix would contain better information than the raw sample matrix.  One proprietary commercial product, called the Neutron QuantumApp which was released in mid-2013, based its filtration technique on RMT prediction. The motivation of this dissertation is to examine the effectiveness of the Neutron product in terms of risk measurement, mean-variance efficiency and portfolio performance. More specifically, does the filtered covariance contain superior information as compared to the raw covariance?  The evidence shows that the efficient frontier, generated from filtered covariance, indeed dominates the raw efficient frontier for the unconstrained case. When short-sale constraint is imposed, the result is similar except for the minimum variance portfolio (MVP). The MVP from the raw matrix dominates the MVP from the filtered matrix. In general, the filtered covariance appears to be better for the purpose of risk measurement and risk management. The filtered correlation structure is considerably higher.  iv  However, more efficient portfolios do not translate into better performers. For the period 2006 to 2013, one cannot reject the null hypothesis that the filtered portfolios perform similarly to the raw portfolios. Therefore, my conclusion is that the Neutron product cannot resolve Markowitz optimization enigma.

The impact of municipal governance on cities’ audit performance and audit report timeliness and the subsequent economic consequences
Creators: name: Peterson, Amanda N.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation is comprised of two studies: the effect of municipal governance on cities’ audit performance and audit report timeliness; and economic consequences of audit performance and report timeliness.  In the first study, municipal governance institutions, specifically governance structure, City Council election policies, use of an audit committee, use of an internal audit function, and Finance Department leadership, are evaluated to determine which factors influence audit performance and report timeliness.  Six regression models are presented – five to estimate audit performance and one to estimate audit report timeliness.  Results indicate that various governance institutions impact both the quality and timeliness of municipal reporting.  All of the institutions evaluated, except internal audit, are significant in at least one model of audit performance presented here, with use of a city manager (i.e., government structure) being significant in all six models. In the second study, two relationships are evaluated:  impact of both audit performance and report timeliness on municipal debt costs; and effect of audit performance on a city’s future Federal revenue.  Conflicting results are found in regards to the first relationship, and evidence is found to support the second.  Poor audit performance is found to have a significant, negative impact on a city’s future Federal funding, which in turn reduces the funds available to provide programs and services to constituents.  Ultimately, the level and quality of services provided by a local government are impacted by the amount of Federal funding received; therefore, audit performance may impact the public programs, goods and services a city offers its citizens.
The impact of governmental strategies on collective action after backlash

description: Researchers in the field of Security Studies would ultimately like to make prescriptions on how to curb international and domestic violence worldwide.  Much of the existing research focuses on the governmental responses to already existing terrorist organizations, such as counterterrorism strategies.  Most research focuses on the immediate impact of terrorist organizations. Therefore, little focus is given to the historical and cultural factors influencing the mobilization of actors into terrorist organizations and the relationship between the actors involved.  Research suggests that governmental strategies against collective groups, such as brute police force, can serve as a catalyst for backlash. Further research should be done to understand the impact of governmental strategies that aid in the mobilization of individuals into terrorist organizations, viewing terrorists as the backlash of a policy choice implemented by domestic or state level institutions. A sense of grievance is the key motivational factor for most terrorist organization, a common bond between members. Unwarranted use of violence, death of civilians and a lack of transparency in governmental decision making, make it easier to capture sentiments of an already aggrieved population into that of a terrorist organization.  The current research assesses the impact of governmental strategies on collective action and the mobilization into terrorist organizations after backlash. The current study proposes a connection between backlash of governmental strategies, collective action and terrorism. It suggests that political choices, at the domestic or international level, can influence the trajectory of aggrieved groups into terrorist organizations.

Material examined. See Remarks below.
Remarks. Described from the holotype and allotype from: Kuldanna (7,006 ft.) Murree hills, Punjab, H.S. Pruthi (ZSI). Although the types have not been examined a series of specimen in the BMNH from India match Pruthi’s figures and serve to place the species in Jilinga Ghauri. It is similar to the only other species of the genus, J. darjilingensis (Distant) in the shape of the aedeagus (not shown in Pruthi’s figure), but differs in having a differently shaped dorsal connective (referred to as the preatrium by Ghauri, 1974) and a much wider style apical process (paraphysis).
Psammotettix emarginata Singh (Plate 2, f; Figs 18, 19)
Psammotettix swatensis Ahmed. Syn. nov.
Psammotettix quettensis Ara & Ahmed. Syn. nov.
Material examined. Pakistan: holotype 3, and 1 paratype of P. swatensis (ZMUK), Swat, 12.v.1985, Shahid, sugar beet; several specimens (3, Ƥ), Sindh Prov., Tando Jam, 12.xi.07, on lufa guord.
Remarks. Specimens were compared to the figures of Indian material given by Singh (1969, figs 51–55). This species was recorded by Ghauri (1964) from Pakistan as P. provincialis Ribaut, but in the latter species the aedeagal shaft has straighter margins in lateral view (compare Figs 19 b, d). There is some variation in the head markings and a few specimens examined (see Plate 2, f) have faint longitudinal bands on the pronotum as in the original figures of P. emarginata. It is possible that Psammotettix regularia Singh, from India, may also be this species.
P. swatensis was described from a holotype male and one paratypes from: Swat, 12.v.1985, sugar beet, Shahid (ZMUK).
P. quettensis was described from a holotype male and four paratypes from: Quetta, 24.vi.1987, wheat, Anjum (ZMUK); no type specimens could be found.

Essays on intra-market efficiency and financial contagion
Creators: name: Piccotti, Louis Richard
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The first essay of this dissertation shows that financial contagion risk is an important  source of the risk premium. Intermediaries’ contribution to aggregate financial contagion  is estimated in a new state space framework and a tradable financial contagion portfolio  is formed. More contagious intermediaries earn excess returns over less contagious ones  that cannot be explained by commonly used factor models. The relative performance  of contagious intermediaries is also priced in the cross section of stock returns. Stocks  that comove more strongly with contagious intermediaries earn monotonically greater  returns. These results are robust to factor model specification, test assets, and time  period considered.    The second essay shows that exchange traded funds (ETFs) persistently trade at a  premium to net asset value (NAV) and that market segmentation can explain this puzzling  regularity. Tracking error standard deviation is used as the measure of market  segmentation. ETFs with larger tracking error standard deviations trade at higher premiums,  consistent with the notion that investors are willing to pay a premium to receive  liquidity and diversification benefits from holding ETFs rather than the underlying securities  directly. These results are robust to investor sentiment effects. Further tests  validate that tracking error standard deviation has the desirable properties of a market  segmentation measure.    The third essay shows that previous studies substantially understate the magnitudes  of arbitrage profits in the closed-end fund market. The assumption that closed-end fund  returns depend only on current premiums is relieved in favor of returns being dependent  on an optimally chosen history of premiums. Incorporating the information content of  a fund’s premium innovation history substantially improves expected return estimates.  In doing so, arbitrage profits are increased from an annualized 14.9 percent return with  a Sharpe ratio of 1.519 to an 18.2 percent return with a Sharpe ratio of 1.918. These  results are robust to a wide range of tests. They deepen the closed-end fund discount  puzzle and pose a challenge to the market efficiency in these products.
