description: The interplay of quantum anomalies with magnetic field and vorticity results in a variety of novel non-dissipative transport phenomena in systems with chiral fermions, including the quark-gluon plasma. Among them is the Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) -- the generation of electric current along an external magnetic field induced by chirality imbalance. Because the chirality imbalance is related to the global topology of gauge fields, the CME current is topologically protected and hence non-dissipative even in the presence of strong interactions. As a result, the CME and related quantum phenomena affect the hydrodynamical and transport behavior of strongly coupled quark-gluon plasma, and can be studied in relativistic heavy ion collisions where strong magnetic fields are created by the colliding ions. Evidence for the CME and related phenomena has been reported by the STAR Collaboration at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at BNL, and by the ALICE Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The goal of the present review is to provide an elementary introduction into the physics of anomalous chiral effects, to describe the current status of experimental studies in heavy ion physics, and to outline the future work, both in experiment and theory, needed to eliminate the existing uncertainties in the interpretation of the data.

Increasing Indigent Patients’ Utilization of Ambulatory Surgical Centers in North Carolina
Creators: name: Cannady, Meagan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: In 1970, the first Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) opened in the United States. The intention of ASCs was to provide Americans with an alternative to having surgery in the hospital. This new option would cost less and offer a different patient experience, potentially a better one. Today, ASCs remain high both in popularity and utilization and are experiencing continued growth and expansion. To control rapid growth, improve access to care particularly for the underserved, and contain costs, some states utilize Certificate of Need laws. North Carolina, a strong Certificate of Need state, has increasingly received petitions for new operating rooms to accommodate new ASCs. In response, North Carolina introduced the Single Specialty Ambulatory Surgery Facility Demonstration Project in 2010. The project set a required percentage of indigent care to be achieved by three participating facilities in North Carolina’s metropolitan service areas. For the purposes of this study, indigent is defined as Medicaid and self-pay patients. By September 2016, only one of the three centers was consistently reaching the required percentage. The objective of this paper is to identify gaps and areas for improvement that would allow new Ambulatory Surgery Centers in North Carolina the opportunity to successfully achieve an indigent patient care requirement. This paper explores current Medicaid and self-pay patient utilization of ASCs in North Carolina through examining payer mix percentages of freestanding and hospital affiliated ASCs. This paper also explores current practices at the demonstration facilities and examines what role safety net referral partnerships may have with Ambulatory Surgery Centers. It was found that there may be indigent patient access opportunities at not only freestanding ASCs but also hospital affiliated ASCs. Suggested amendments to the demonstration project included expanding the definition of indigent, creating specialty specific requirements, generating incentives, increasing transparency, and altering perceptions of ASCs. Suggested considerations for future partnerships included increasing sensitivity and understanding of the indigent population, examining perceived barriers, maximizing state resources, and increasing awareness of community opportunities. All study participants reported referral partnerships between safety net providers and ASCs to be a feasible concept in North Carolina.

Efficient community detection of network flows for varying Markov times and bipartite networks

description: Community detection of network flows conventionally assumes one-step dynamics on the links. For sparse networks and interest in large-scale structures, longer timescales may be more appropriate. Oppositely, for large networks and interest in small-scale structures, shorter timescales may be better. However, current methods for analyzing networks at different timescales require expensive and often infeasible network reconstructions. To overcome this problem, we introduce a method that takes advantage of the inner-workings of the map equation and evades the reconstruction step. This makes it possible to efficiently analyze large networks at different Markov times with no extra overhead cost. The method also evades the costly unipartite projection for identifying flow modules in bipartite networks.

Meal Ordering Trends for Hospitalized Patients and Implications for UNC Medical Center’s Food Environment
Creators: name: Sundermann, Julie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Objectives. We assessed meal ordering trends for a sample of hospital floors/units.Methods. We measured the number of orders at meal times for all beverages and a sub-set of food items (some of which were designated with a heart icon indicating an item lower in sodium and fat) from the in-patient menu at University of North Carolina Hospitals in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, for patients on a regular, non-therapeutic diet on four floors of the hospital from July 2017 to October 2017.Results. All sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) combined made up 36.0% of total beverage orders. Juice (not included in SSB category) represented an additional 17.6% of total beverage orders. Patients ordered sugar-sweetened iced tea 3.2 times more than artificially-sweetened iced tea. Fried chicken options accounted for 72% of all chicken entrée orders examined for this project. However, among chicken sandwich orders, grilled chicken sandwich orders were placed 3.5 times more often than fried chicken sandwich orders. Among all the potato-based and vegetable-based sides on the menu, mashed potatoes constituted 17.8% of all side orders, and the next four most-ordered sides included French fries (14.5% of all side orders), a side salad (11.7%), green beans (9.5%), and broccoli (7.4%).Conclusions. The data on patient meal ordering trends collected for this project suggest that hospitalized patients appear to order all types of foods and beverages, regardless of heart designation. The combined implementation of an in-patient menu icon to indicate balanced options and a special menu section highlighting those choices may more effectively shift hospitalized patients’ ordering towards the most nourishing foods and beverages on the menu.

title: Porn content creators as ‘workers’: a pragmatist feminist argument
Creators: name: Nocella, Rebecca Rose
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2024

description: This thesis analyses porn content creators’ (PCCs) employment reality in the context of the gig
economy. In the spirit of pragmatist feminism, although each case is ultimately decided on its
merits and the specificities of its context, my argument is that, at least in many cases, PCCs
operating under the kinds of gig-economy conditions described in the thesis produce work of
value and should be regarded as ‘workers’. This category of employment sits between self-employment and employee status and workers incur benefits from core labour rights – that is, 
some, but not all, of the rights granted to employees. My sociolegal methodological approach
is based on a doctrinal analysis of UK law related to the determination of employment status,
minimum wage and working time, triangulated through eight semi-structured interviews with
PCCs. The interviews are combined with an evaluation of the terms of use of a selected sample
of online platforms accessible to UK based PCCs. While PCCs are often treated as self-employed, my research highlights that many are operating under the control of porn platforms.
My aim is to develop an argument that may assist lawyers and policy makers in appreciating
how PCCs’ working conditions could be made more secure and stable by operating in line with
labour law.
Faith Based Community Wellness: Addressing Health Disparity at the Heart of the Community
Creators: name: Malka, Meghan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Significant health disparity exists among the low resource citizens of the District of Columbia. The prevalence of obesity and chronic disease is disproportionately high in these communities and continues to rise causing both a health and financial burden on the citizens as well as the District. Prevention strategies are necessary to reduce health disparities and increase positive health outcomes among low resource citizens. An effective way to reach low resources citizens is through faith based organizations which serve as the heart of their community. Given the numerous opportunities that the District of Columbia has in place regarding health and wellness, it is essential to leverage the key provisions that currently exist and bridge the knowledge gap so that available resources may reach communities in need. It is recommended to amend the HHS Partnership Center regulation in an effort to enforce the goals of the HHS Partnership Center to coordinate and strengthen outreach efforts to faith based organizations and support effective, sustainable health promotion programs among faith based organizations. This initiative will be implemented in the District of Columbia as a pilot test with the potential to be adapted and implemented in other states. In light of the serious health consequences and increasing health care costs associated with obesity and related chronic disease, engaging the faith based community in promotion of better weight management through healthier diets and increased physical activity is imperative for improving the health of District residents.

description: The filter function formalism quantitatively describes the dephasing of a qubit by a bath that causes Gaussian fluctuations in the qubit energies with an arbitrary noise power spectrum. Here, we extend this formalism to account for more general types of noise that couple to the qubit through terms that do not commute with the qubit's bare Hamiltonian. Our approach applies to any power spectrum that generates slow noise fluctuations in the qubit's evolution. We demonstrate our formalism in the case of singlet-triplet qubits subject to both quasistatic nuclear noise and $1/ω^α$ charge noise and find good agreement with recent experimental findings. This comparison shows the efficacy of our approach in describing real systems and additionally highlights the challenges with distinguishing different types of noise in free induction decay experiments.

A Three-Dimensional Babcock-Leighton Solar Dynamo Model: Initial Results with Axisymmetric Flows

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: The main objective of this paper is to introduce the STABLE (Surface flux Transport And Babcock-LEighton) solar dynamo model. STABLE is a 3D Babcock-Leighton/Flux Transport dynamo model in which the source of poloidal field is the explicit emergence, distortion, and dispersal of bipolar magnetic regions (BMRs). Here we describe the STABLE model in more detail than we have previously and we verify it by reproducing a 2D mean-field benchmark. We also present some representative dynamo simulations, focusing on the special case of kinematic magnetic induction and axisymmetric flow fields. Not all solutions are supercritical; it can be a challenge for the BL mechanism to sustain the dynamo when the turbulent diffusion near the surface is $\geq 10^{12}$ cm$^2$ s$^{-1}$. However, if BMRs are sufficiently large, deep, and numerous, then sustained, cyclic, dynamo solutions can be found that exhibit solar-like features. Furthermore, we find that the shearing of radial magnetic flux by the surface differential rotation can account for most of the net toroidal flux generation in each hemisphere, as has been recently argued for the Sun by Cameron & Schussler (2015).

BMI as a Predictor of Health Outcomes in Cystic Fibrosis: A Case for Advancements in Practice
Creators: name: Al-Banna, Sophia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: After considering the plethora of research variables and the limitations of BMI, it is worth considering if BMI is the best indicator of nutritional status as it pertains to lung function (FEV1). Research is also starting to question if lung function is higher in leaner patients of the same BMI. If so, should we consider the ratio of fat mass to FFM as a nutritional indicator instead of BMI in this critical patient population? Lastly, the blooming prevalence of obesity in the adult and pediatric CF population, as well as the rapid increase of patients diagnosed with CFRD is concerning (Kelly & Moran, 2013). Accordingly, what is the relationship between excess body fat and CFRD? Furthermore, what evidence is available to say that the current medical nutritional therapy used in practice is contributory to the increased rate in excess body fat and/or CFRD? The remainder of this review shines light on these questions by analyzing the current research and a relevant case study to reveal implications in practice. I then offer suggestions for guidelines and future research.
Nature of phase transitions in Axelrod-like coupled Potts models in two dimensions

description: We study $F$ coupled $q$-state Potts models in a two-dimensional square lattice. The interaction between the different layers is attractive, to favour a simultaneous alignment in all of them, and its strength is fixed. The nature of the phase transition for zero field is numerically determined for $F=2,3$. Using the Lee-Kosterlitz method, we find that it is continuous for $F=2$ and $q=2$, whereas it is abrupt for higher values of $q$ and/or $F$. When a continuous or a weakly first-order phase transition takes place, we also analyze the properties of the geometrical clusters. This allows us to determine the fractal dimension $D$ of the incipient infinite cluster and to examine the finite-size scaling of the cluster number density via data collapse. A mean-field approximation of the model, from which some general trends can be determined, is presented too. Finally, since this lattice model has been recently considered as a thermodynamic counterpart of the Axelrod model of social dynamics, we discuss our results in connection with this one.

The Physiologic and Metabolic Changes that Occur During Exercise Making Recovery Nutrition Indispensible (Durham, North Carolina)
Creators: name: Swanson, Ashley

description: Sports dietitians frequently educate athletes on the significance of recovery nutrition. Aside from providing education, it is also imperative that dietitians are prepared to answer questions that reinforce recovery nutrition recommendations. Responding with scientific accuracy will strengthen one’s credibility as a dietitian. Familiarity with the pathophysiology and biochemistry that occurs during strenuous exercise, which makes recovery nutrition indispensible, is important for the knowledge and benefit of the athlete. This article reports upon several basic physiological and metabolic responses that occur during vigorous exercise and are central to recovery nutrition.

description: We investigate the maximally coherent states to provide a refinement in quantifying coherence and give a measure-independent definition of the coherence-preserving operations. A maximally coherent state can be considered as the resource to create arbitrary quantum states of the same dimension by merely incoherent operations. We propose that only the maximally coherent states should achieve the maximal value for a coherence measure and use this condition as an additional criterion for coherence measures to obtain a refinement in quantifying coherence which excludes the invalid and inefficient coherence measures. Under this new criterion, we then give a measure-independent definition of the coherence-preserving operations, which play a similar role in quantifying coherence as that played by the local unitary operations in the scenario of studying entanglement.

description: We model the inspiral of a compact stellar-mass object into a massive nonrotating black hole including all dissipative and conservative first-order-in-the-mass-ratio effects on the orbital motion. The techniques we develop allow inspirals with initial eccentricities as high as $e\sim0.8$ and initial separations as large as $p\sim 50$ to be evolved through many thousands of orbits up to the onset of the plunge into the black hole. The inspiral is computed using an osculating elements scheme driven by a hybridized self-force model, which combines Lorenz-gauge self-force results with highly accurate flux data from a Regge-Wheeler-Zerilli code. The high accuracy of our hybrid self-force model allows the orbital phase of the inspirals to be tracked to within $\sim0.1$ radians or better. The difference between self-force models and inspirals computed in the radiative approximation is quantified.

description: In the context of minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), we discuss the possibility of the lightest Higgs boson with mass $M_h = 98 $ GeV to be consistent with the $2.3σ$ excess observed at the LEP in the decay mode $e^+e^- \to Zh$, with $h \to b {\bar b}$. In the same region of the MSSM parameter space, the heavier Higgs boson $(H)$ with mass $M_H \sim 125 $ GeV is required to be consistent with the latest data on Higgs coupling measurements at the end of 7 + 8 TeV LHC run with $25{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data. While scanning the MSSM parameter space, we impose constraints coming from flavour physics, relic density of the cold dark matter as well as direct dark matter searches. We study the possibility of observing this light Higgs boson in vector boson fusion process and associated production with $W/Z$ boson at the high luminosity $(3000~{\rm fb}^{-1})$ run of the 14 TeV LHC. Our analysis shows that this scenario can hardly be ruled out even at the high luminosity run of the LHC. However, the precise measurement of the Higgs signal strength ratios can play a major role to distinguish this scenario from the canonical MSSM one.

description: La tesi ricostruisce il processo di musealizzazione del design attraverso il Novecento e il relativo dibattito. Mettendo in discussione la predominante tradizione museologica e museografica storico-artistica, la tesi sostiene l'importanza di considerare la tradizione e il contesto dei musei scientifici e tecnologici come una opportunità per costruire e diffondere una diversa comprensione del design, presso pubblici diversi e più ampi. La tesi analizza dunque la storia di questa diversa tradizione museale e esamina alcuni casi studio di musei internazionali di scienza e tecnologia che hanno incluso, implicitamente ed esplicitamente, nelle loro collezioni ed esposizioni il design.

description: Body awareness (BA) is the act of paying attention to body sensations and it can have adaptive or maladaptive outcomes depending on the quality of attention. Maladaptive forms of BA are characterized by paying attention to sensations in an anxiety-driven, evaluative, and avoidant manner whereas adaptive forms of BA are characterized by paying attention to body sensations in a mindful, non-judgmental, and accepting manner. The latter is associated with positive mental health outcomes. Currently, there is a scarcity of high-quality instruments measuring adaptive forms of BA. Furthermore, to our knowledge, no existing instruments measure the functional role of body awareness in an individual's capacity to perceive, differentiate and regulate emotions. The present study introduces a questionnaire, the Functional Body Sensation Questionnaire (FBSQ), that measures body awareness and its functional role in key emotional competencies. The aim of this study is to use preexisting data to assess the FBSQ's psychometric properties: internal consistency, test-retest reliability, construct validity, and model fit with confirmatory factor analysis.
Effects of Brazil Nuts & Motivational Interviewing on the Nutrition Status of Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis

description: Literature review with some original research working with patients at a hemodialysis clinic in Denver, CO. Objectives were to see if motivational interviewing techniques to increase protein intake, as well as anti-inflammatory supplementation using selenium-rich Brazil nuts could effect nutrition status of patients. Nutrition status was defined by four measurements including serum albumin, normalized protein catabolic rate (nPCR), handgrip strength, and malnutrition inflammation score. The intervention was one-month in length and included twelve participants on maintenance hemodialysis.

Fix Our Food: Food Reform Begins with the Dietary Guidelines (Durham, North Carolina)

description: America has not always been fat. Although nearly two-thirds of the population is currently overweight or obese, the rapid rise in the prevalence of obesity began recently in our nation‘s history, not long after the creation of our nation‘s first dietary recommendations. While it is recognized that origins of obesity are multi-factorial and that personal choices contribute to health outcomes, the effect of the institutionalization of national dietary recommendations on the of the elements of our society that affect food and nutrition cannot be excluded from an examination of factors that have contributed to creating a food environment detrimental to the health of Americans. Government nutritionists have been giving dietary advice to Americans for more than a century. However, the first Dietary Guidelines for Americans, issued in 1980 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW, now the Department of Health and Human Services), differed markedly from previous guidance. They heralded a shift in focus from recommendations for consuming certain foods in order to acquire adequate nutrition to ones regarding avoiding certain foods in order to prevent chronic disease. This shift in focus has proven to be problematic as the effects of the initial Guidelines on all aspects of the food system has unfolded, as science has evolved, as the demographics of the American population has changed, and as the current understanding of the food environment has revealed increasing levels of complexity. The Dietary Guidelines are not only different from previous government dietary recommendations, they are also significantly different from other highly-influential government policies or decisions, such as the Social Securities Act or Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. Unlike carefully-crafted legislation or a meticulously-argued Supreme Court decision, the Dietary Guidelines and the process that creates them did not develop from the deliberate construction of a Federally-guided policy or intention. Although, as the foundation of all Federal policies and programs related to food and nutrition, they touch lives of every American daily, the Dietary Guidelines arose out of a series of political maneuvers and measures that were more reactive than proactive. As a result, the method by which the Dietary Guidelines are generated remains flawed. The current process has resulted in Guidelines that perpetuate decades-long controversy over some key Guideline recommendations, reduce the relevance of the Guidelines to many Americans and undermine their confidence in these recommendations, and fail to address the complexity of the current food system.
