Bringing the Breadwinner Back In: Relative Wages and Diseases of Despair
Creators: name: Janz, Avra

description: The United States has recently witnessed a dramatic uptick in the morbidity of its White, working-class citizens. Economists have explained much of this uptick by noting the recent rise in "diseases of despair," such as alcoholism, within this population. However, they have often failed to explain why these diseases are much more prevalent among men than among women. In this paper, I advance a novel explanation for the recent increase in morbidity among White, working-class U.S. men. Drawing on research that indicates that heterosexual couples exhibit a strong aversion to situations in which wives outearn their husbands, I ask whether economic conditions that have led many men to lose their status as primary breadwinner have contributed to their declining health. Examining the impact of changes in men's breadwinner status on changes in their health outcomes, I observe that men who lose breadwinner status are 1.5 times more likely to report declines in health. However, men who are not breadwinners are also less likely to become obese and more likely to stop binge drinking. Changes in relative incomes within couples may indeed assist in explaining morbidity among men, though the direction of effects may be unexpected.

The Matter of Mattering: The Impact of Mattering on Depression and Suicide
Creators: name: Sappenfield, Catie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we wanted to answer the question of why being or feeling alone can contribute to depression or suicidal ideation. One possible answer, according to our study, is that loneliness often leads people to feel that they do not matter, thus distorting an essential component of human mental health. We therefore hypothesized that mattering would mediate the relationships between loneliness and depression (H1), as well as loneliness and suicidality (H2). Study 1, which tested H1, was a secondary analysis of longitudinal data on mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Study 2 tested H2 using cross-sectional samples of college students and nationwide adults. In Study 2, we additionally hoped to discern the impact of different types of perceived mattering (i.e., mattering to close others, like family and friends, versus mattering to one’s community) on depression and suicide. H1 was supported and H2 was partially supported. In Study 1, mattering mediated the relationship between loneliness and depression. In Study 2, context-free mattering mediated the relationship between loneliness and suicidality. We also found evidence of indirect effects of community mattering on suicidality in both samples and direct effects of close mattering on suicidality in nationwide adults. However, we found no evidence of a direct effect of community mattering on suicidality. Our results therefore provide support that mattering can have a direct impact on mental health outcomes and suggest that mattering could be targeted as a protective factor for depression and suicide in future interventions.

description: One approach to achieving correct finite element assembly is to ensure that the local orientation of facets relative to each cell in the mesh is consistent with the global orientation of that facet. Rognes et al. have shown how to achieve this for any mesh composed of simplex elements, and deal.II contains a serial algorithm to construct a consistent orientation of any quadrilateral mesh of an orientable manifold. The core contribution of this paper is the extension of this algorithm for distributed memory parallel computers, which facilitates its seamless application as part of a parallel simulation system. Furthermore, our analysis establishes a link between the well-known Union-Find algorithm and the construction of a consistent orientation of a quadrilateral mesh. As a result, existing work on the parallelisation of the Union-Find algorithm can be easily adapted to construct further parallel algorithms for mesh orientations.

THE PROVOCATIVE SCREEN: Surrealist Documentary as a Mode of Confrontation
Creators: name: Meyer, Macy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Filling the gaps in the discussions around surreal documentary is precisely the aim of this thesis. While I engage with canonical surrealists in my opening chapter, the final two chapters will be looking at filmmakers who are not surrealists, and yet, their films can be viewed through a surrealist lens, entering more into what is coined as 'eternal surrealism.' From all of these examples, surrealism, in the context of documentary, will emerge as a critical tool for confrontation and addressing the audience both emotionally and intellectually. As will be shown in my investigations, the idea of confrontation, whether that be outwardly to another person or inwardly at one’s own subconscious, is key to the impact and stakes of the films discussed across the thesis. I argue that surreal cinema, in any form, has not only the ability, but also the need to confront. Surrealism is a universal and timeless tool that can assist in confronting and working through conflict, whether that confrontation is for sociopolitical justice, a fight against colonialism or resolving personal trauma.

description: We measure the intrinsic relation between velocity dispersion ($σ$) and luminosity ($L$) for massive, luminous red galaxies (LRGs) at redshift $z \sim 0.55$. We achieve unprecedented precision by using a sample of 600,000 galaxies with spectra from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the third Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-III), covering a range of stellar masses $M_* \gtrsim 10^{11} M_{\odot}$. We deconvolve the effects of photometric errors, limited spectroscopic signal-to-noise ratio, and red--blue galaxy confusion using a novel hierarchical Bayesian formalism that is generally applicable to any combination of photometric and spectroscopic observables. For an L-$σ$ relation of the form $L \propto σ^β$, we find $β= 7.8 \pm 1.1$ for $σ$ corrected to the effective radius, and a very small intrinsic scatter of $s = 0.047 \pm 0.004$ in $\log_{10} σ$ at fixed $L$. No significant redshift evolution is found for these parameters. The evolution of the zero-point within the redshift range considered is consistent with the passive evolution of a galaxy population that formed at redshift $z=2-3$, assuming single stellar populations. An analysis of previously reported results seems to indicate that the passively-evolved high-mass L-$σ$ relation at $z\sim0.55$ is consistent with the one measured at $z=0.1$. Our results, in combination with those presented in Montero-Dorta et al. (2014), provide a detailed description of the high-mass end of the red sequence (RS) at $z\sim0.55$. This characterization, in the light of previous literature, suggest that the high-mass RS distribution corresponds to the "core" elliptical population.

Impact of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus on Renal Cell Carcinoma Prognosis
Creators: name: Werner, Taylor

Year: 2021

description: Introduction: Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is incurable, with an estimated five-year survival of 12.3%. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has not been validated as a risk factor or poor prognostic factor in RCC, but its provascular pathophysiology has been associated with upregulation of growth factors that are also implicated in RCC. This study evaluated the impact of T2DM on time to metastatic disease in RCC, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Patients and Methods: Patients at least 18 years of age were included in this single-health system retrospective cohort study if they had been treated at UNC Medical Center Healthcare System for mRCC between March 1, 2014 and March 1, 2019. Time from diagnosis to progression to metastatic disease, PFS, and OS were compared between patients with T2DM and patients without T2DM. PFS and OS was further compared between patients who initially presented with localized disease and those who presented with de novo metastatic disease in both the T2DM and non-T2DM arms. 

Results: A total of 147 mRCC patients were included in the study cohort (n=27 with T2DM and n=120 without T2DM). Among patients who initially presented with localized disease, a significantly shorter time to mRCC was observed in patients with T2DM (11.4 vs 33.2 months, HR 2.41, 95% CI 1.16-4.99; P=0.0006). However, significant differences in PFS (23.4 vs 14.6 months, HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.5-1.25; P=0.32), OS (58.6 vs 48.3 months, HR 0.86, 95% CI 0.48-1.54; P=0.63), and the prevalence of mRCC at time of initial diagnosis (P=0.29) were not observed. 

Conclusions: Patients with T2DM have a 2.4-fold higher risk of progressing to mRCC than non-T2DM patients. But, patients with T2DM were not more likely to be diagnosed with mRCC on initial presentation, and T2DM did not impact either PFS or OS. These data require future validation; however, the decreased time of progression to mRCC in the T2DM arm suggests that patients with T2DM may benefit from more diligent monitoring after a localized RCC diagnosis.

description: Nuclear density functional theory (DFT) is one of the main theoretical tools used to study the properties of heavy and superheavy elements, or to describe the structure of nuclei far from stability. While on-going efforts seek to better root nuclear DFT in the theory of nuclear forces [see Duguet et al., this issue], energy functionals remain semi-phenomenological constructions that depend on a set of parameters adjusted to experimental data in finite nuclei. In this paper, we review recent efforts to quantify the related uncertainties, and propagate them to model predictions. In particular, we cover the topics of parameter estimation for inverse problems, statistical analysis of model uncertainties and Bayesian inference methods. Illustrative examples are taken from the literature.

description: We consider a three-dimensional network of aqueous droplets joined by single lipid bilayers to form a cohesive, tissue-like material. The droplets in these networks can be programmed to have distinct osmolarities so that osmotic gradients generate internal stresses via local fluid flows to cause the network to change shape. We discover, using molecular dynamics simulations, a reversible folding-unfolding process by adding an osmotic interaction with the surrounding environment which necessarily evolves dynamically as the shape of the network changes. This discovery is the next important step towards osmotic robotics in this system. We also explore analytically and numerically how the networks become faceted via buckling and how quasi-one-dimensional networks become three-dimensional.

description: We analyze a class of bottom-up holographic models for low energy thermo-electric transport. The models we focus on belong to a family of Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theories parameterized by two scalar functions, characterizing the dilaton self-interaction and the gauge coupling function. We impose spatially inhomogeneous lattice boundary conditions for the dilaton on the AdS boundary and study the resulting phase structure attained at low energies. We find that as we dial the scalar functions at our disposal (changing thus the theory under consideration), we obtain either (i) coherent metallic, or (ii) insulating, or (iii) incoherent metallic phases. We chart out the domain where the incoherent metals appear in a restricted parameter space of theories. We also analyze the optical conductivity, noting that non-trivial scaling behaviour at intermediate frequencies appears to only be possible for very narrow regions of parameter space.

description: Cosmology is making impressive progress and it is producing stringent bounds on the sum of the neutrino masses Σ, a parameter of great importance for the current laboratory experiments. In this letter, we exploit the potential relevance of the analysis of Palanque-Delabrouille et al. [JCAP 1502, 045 (2015)] to the neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) search. This analysis indicates small values for the lightest neutrino mass, since the authors find Σ < 84 meV at 1σ C. L., and provides a 1σ preference for the normal hierarchy. The allowed values for the Majorana effective mass, probed by 0νββ, turn out to be < 75meV at 3σC.L. and lower down to less than 20meV at 1σC.L.. If this indication is confirmed, the impact on the 0νββ experiments will be tremendous since the possibility of detecting a signal will be out of the reach of the next generation of experiments.

description: Dark matter, if exists, accounts for five times as much as ordinary baryonic matter. Therefore, dark matter flow might possess the widest presence in our universe. The other form of flow, hydrodynamic turbulence in air and water, is without doubt the most familiar flow in our daily life. During the pandemic, we have found time to think about and put together a systematic comparison for the connections and differences between two types of flow, both of which are typical non-equilibrium systems. The goal of this presentation is to leverage this comparison for a better understanding of the nature and properties of dark matter and its flow behavior on all scales. The theory developed including: Inverse mass cascade in dark matter flow and effects on halo mass functions Inverse mass cascade in dark matter flow and effects on halo deformation, energy, size, and density profiles Inverse energy cascade in self-gravitating collisionless dark matter flow and effects of halo shape The mean flow, velocity dispersion, energy transfer and evolution of rotating and growing dark matter halos Two-body collapse model for gravitational collapse of dark matter and generalized stable clustering hypothesis for pairwise velocity Evolution of energy, momentum, spin parameter in dark matter flow and integral constants of motion The maximum entropy distributions of velocity, speed, and energy from statistical mechanics of dark matter flow Halo mass functions from maximum entropy distributions in self-gravitating collisionless dark matter flow The statistical theory of dark matter flow for velocity, density, and potential fields The statistical theory of dark matter flow and high order kinematic and dynamic relations for velocity correlations The scale and redshift variation of density and velocity distributions in dark matter flow and two-thirds law for pairwise velocity along with three applications of theory: Dark matter particle mass and properties from two-thirds law and energy cascade in dark matter flow Origin of MOND acceleration and deep-MOND from acceleration fluctuation and energy cascade in dark matter flow The baryonic-to-halo mass relation from mass and energy cascade in dark matter flow The two relevant datasets and accompanying presentation can be found at: Dark matter flow dataset Part I: Halo-based statistics from cosmological N-body simulation Dark matter flow dataset Part II: Correlation-based statistics from cosmological N-body simulation.

“The Future and the Past Changed Places”: Historical Trauma, the Middle Voice, and the Representation of Human Suffering in the Institutional Narratives of Formerly Enslaved African Americans in the Nineteenth Century
Creators: name: Harris, Olivia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This is a senior honors thesis completed through the Department of English at UNC-Chapel Hill. Drawing on a diverse array of scholarly works from literary theory, trauma studies, anthropology, and African American history, this thesis analyzes the narratives of formerly enslaved people in nineteenth-century institutional settings. Retirement homes, prisons/jails, and insane asylums created different contexts for both eliciting and providing narrative, and thus the politics of trauma disclosure vary widely across these settings. African Americans' responses took different forms based on their relationship with the interviewer; their responses were also recorded and represented differently based on the institutional affiliation of the interviewer. In all settings, however, formerly enslaved people strategically utilized narration and silence in tandem to testify to their experiences without jeopardizing their sense of autonomy and personhood.
Incentivizing High Quality Crowdwork

description: We study the causal effects of financial incentives on the quality of crowdwork. We focus on performance-based payments (PBPs), bonus payments awarded to workers for producing high quality work. We design and run randomized behavioral experiments on the popular crowdsourcing platform Amazon Mechanical Turk with the goal of understanding when, where, and why PBPs help, identifying properties of the payment, payment structure, and the task itself that make them most effective. We provide examples of tasks for which PBPs do improve quality. For such tasks, the effectiveness of PBPs is not too sensitive to the threshold for quality required to receive the bonus, while the magnitude of the bonus must be large enough to make the reward salient. We also present examples of tasks for which PBPs do not improve quality. Our results suggest that for PBPs to improve quality, the task must be effort-responsive: the task must allow workers to produce higher quality work by exerting more effort. We also give a simple method to determine if a task is effort-responsive a priori. Furthermore, our experiments suggest that all payments on Mechanical Turk are, to some degree, implicitly performance-based in that workers believe their work may be rejected if their performance is sufficiently poor. Finally, we propose a new model of worker behavior that extends the standard principal-agent model from economics to include a worker's subjective beliefs about his likelihood of being paid, and show that the predictions of this model are in line with our experimental findings. This model may be useful as a foundation for theoretical studies of incentives in crowdsourcing markets.

description: Thermalization is investigated for the one-dimensional anisotropic antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with dimerized nearest-neighbor interactions that break integrability. For this purpose the time evolution of local operator expectation values after an interacting quench is calculated directly with the Chebyshev polynomial expansion, and the deviation of the diagonal from the canonical thermal ensemble value is calculated for increasing system size for these operators. The spatial and spin symmetries of the Hamiltonian are taken into account to divide it into symmetry subsectors. The rate of thermalization is found to weaken with the dimerization parameter as the Hamiltonian evolves between two integrable limits, the non-dimerized and the fully dimerized where the chain breaks up into isolated dimers. This conclusion is supported by the distribution of the local operator off-diagonal elements between the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian with respect to their energy difference, which determines the strength of temporal fluctuations. The off-diagonal elements have a low-energy peak for small dimerization which facilitates thermalization, and originates in the reduction of spatial symmetry with respect to the non-dimerized limit. For increasing dimerization their distribution changes and develops a single low-energy maximum that relates to the fully dimerized limit and slows down thermalization.

description: We derived elemental abundances in 27 Cepheids, the great majority situated within a zone of Galactocentric distances ranging from 5 to 7 kpc. One star of our sample, SU Sct, has a Galactocentric distance of about 3 kpc, and thus falls in a poorly investigated region of the inner thin disc. Our new results, combined with data on abundances in the very central part of our Galaxy taken from literature, show that iron, magnesium, silicon, sulfur, calcium and titanium LTE abundance radial distributions, as well as NLTE distribution of oxygen reveal a plateau-like structure or even positive abundance gradient in the region extending from the Galactic center to about 5 kpc.

description: Thin, solid bodies with metric symmetries admit a restricted form of reparameterization invariance. Their dynamical equilibria include motions with both rigid and flowing aspects. On such configurations, a quantity is conserved along the intrinsic coordinate corresponding to the symmetry. As an example of its utility, this conserved quantity is combined with linear and angular momentum currents to construct solutions for the equilibria of a rotating, flowing string, for which it is akin to Bernoulli's constant.

Association of Prenatal Sugar Consumption with Child Working Memory

description: Childhood obesity is a major health concern as it increases risk for developing comorbidities such as hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and prediabetes (Molnár, 2004; Pinhas-Hamiel et al., 1996; Sinha et al., 2002). Excess prenatal sugar consumption is potentially a risk factor for childhood obesity because it has been suggested to promote maternal obesity, and maternal obesity has been associated with childhood obesity (Agha & Agha, 2017; Goran et al., 2019). Prenatal obesity, and potentially sugar consumption, has been linked to decrease in working memory function (Riggs, Huh, Chou, Spruijt-Metz, & Pentz, 2012; Juliana F W Cohen, Rifas-Shiman, Young, & Oken, 2018). Here, we aim to test whether excessive prenatal added sugar consumption decreases working memory performance of offspring ages 3 to 4. Our sample was 89 children, of which 50 were female, and their mothers. The mothers were well educated, with 30.4% of mothers having up to a Bachelor’s degree, and 27.2% having up to a Master’s degree. Prenatal sugar intake was not found to be significantly related to working memory scores. However, household income (p < 0.05), age of child (p =0.02), and Non-Hispanic Pacific Islander status (p< 0.003) were significantly related to Houses working memory score such that higher income, older age of child, and Non-Hispanic Pacific Islander status were associated with better working memory of child. No significant relationships were found with Pick Picture working memory task. High education level of sample was thought to result in the similarity in performance between children of middle and high income households. Suggestions for future studies include assessing sex differences in offspring working memory performance, utilizing an objective biomarker for sugar intake, and categorizing income levels by Pew guidelines to group household incomes in a more standardized way.

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Phishing that leads to credential loss is a problem for organisations and individuals globally. High-profile data breaches regularly feature phishing and credential loss as major contributing factors. Previous research efforts have focussed on the identification of phishing emails and websites for all organisations. The focus of this study is to take datasets that are the product of one organisation’s in-house account protection efforts and determine if successful phishing campaigns can be profiled. Findings include common characteristics of high-risk phishing campaigns and the profiling of IP addresses that were involved in phishing and credential loss specific to the target organisation.
Harnessing the Synthetic Potential of Bis-1,1-Allyldiboron Reagents for α-Alkylations, γ- Alkylations, α-Conjugate Additions, and γ-Conjugate Additions

description: With increasing amounts of therapeutic and diagnostic drugs containing boron being synthesized by industry, the ability to efficiently generate them poses many obstacles, including environmental impact and monetary cost. Harnessing the power of Bis-1,1-allyldiboron reagents to perform α-alkylations, γ-alkylations, α-conjugate additions, and γ-conjugate additions with electrophilic species allows for the creation of new stereocenters and for the installation of a boronate ester which can participate in multiple types of downstream and value-added transformations, including oxidations, homologations, halogenations, aminations, and cross- couplings. Although the research is ongoing, this work begins to outline the developing theory and methodology that allows for the production of a diverse array of bioactive, boronate ester-containing molecular scaffolds that demonstrate promise for industry and organoboron literature due to their ability to operate within a simple Lewis Base, phase-transfer catalyst (PTC), crown ether system, under nonpolar solvent and low to ambient temperature conditions. Notably, the PTC system has already exhibited the ability increase site-selectivity (i.e., selection for α-product versus γ-product) for α-alkylations with secondary chlorides and α-conjugate additions as well as increasing product yield for γ-conjugate additions, demonstrating promise for directing regioselectivity and stereochemistry.
