description: We consider pion production in parity-violating electron scattering (PVES) in the presence of nucleon strangeness in the framework of partial wave analysis with unitarity. Using the experimental bounds on the strange form factors obtained in elastic PVES, we study the sensitivity of the parity-violating asymmetry to strange nucleon form factors. For forward kinematics and electron energies above 1 GeV, we observe that this sensitivity may reach about 20\% in the threshold region. With parity-violating asymmetries being as large as tens p.p.m., this study suggests that threshold pion production in PVES can be used as a promising way to better constrain strangeness contributions. Using this model for the neutral current pion production, we update the estimate for the dispersive $γZ$-box correction to the weak charge of the proton. In the kinematics of the Qweak experiment, our new prediction reads Re$\,\Box_{γZ}^V(E=1.165\,{\rm GeV}) = (5.58\pm1.41)\times10^{-3}$, an improvement over the previous uncertainty estimate of $\pm2.0\times10^{-3}$. Our new prediction in the kinematics of the upcoming MESA/P2 experiment reads Re$\,\Box_{γZ}^V(E=0.155\,{\rm GeV}) = (1.1\pm0.2) \times 10^{-3}$.

Integrating Family Planning into Home-Based Care Programs: A Pilot Project in Mpumalanga, South Africa

description: HIV/AIDS places an increasing burden on health care systems in resource constrained settings. This is particularly true in South Africa, one of the countries hardest hit by the epidemic. Although there is an emerging body of literature on the integration of HIV/AIDS into clinical services, I was not able to find articles on integration into community-based prevention programs. I worked in collaboration with a South African organization dedicated to providing home-based care to people living with HIV/AIDS to explore the possibility of integrating basic communication and counseling skills into its ongoing programs. This paper describes the process I used, including a summary from the literature; site visits and assessments in Mpumalanga, South Africa; and priority-setting with the leadership at Project Support Association (PSA), the local partner organization. The original intent of the program was to provide volunteers with additional information on long- and short-term contraceptive methods, implications of unprotected sexual intercourse, and referrals to appropriate diagnostic, treatment, and care services. However, the findings from the assessment clearly pointed in a different direction. I convinced the leadership at PSA that while accurate information is certainly an essential part of risk reduction, information alone is insufficient to result in behavior change. Basic communication skills could enhance the work of the PSA volunteers. Thus, basic communication skills, rather then a reinforcement of the volunteers' existing knowledge, became the main thrust of the training manual. The training manual I developed is attached as an addendum to this paper.

Scaling Up Mental Health Services in Low- and Middle-Income Countries – Challenges and Recommendations for Scaling Up Mental Health within the Primary Health Care System in the Indian State of Madhya Pradesh

description: Mental illness is a crucial global health issue accounting for about 14% of the global burden of disease. Worldwide, there is an immense treatment gap between the occurrence of mental illness and the availability of mental health interventions. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that nearly 80% of the burden of disease from mental health exists in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), while virtually all the resources for addressing mental illness are located in high-income countries. Many LMICs have limited or no budget for mental healthcare, and only about 10% of their citizens who need services actually have access to them (World Health Organization, 2009). A number of affordable, evidence-based, and cost-effective interventions have been identified to address mental illness, but these have not been implemented on a sufficient scale in resource-poor countries. In light of the severe shortage of mental health services, the Lancet Mental Health Group and WHO have made an urgent call for scaling up mental health services in resource-poor countries by incorporating mental health interventions into government-financed primary and maternal healthcare systems (The Lancet Mental Health Group, 2007; World Health Organization, 2008a). However, many challenges and barriers have to be overcome if mental health services are to be scaled up rapidly and sustainably. This paper discussed the importance of mental health as a global health issue. Next it reviewed the constraints and success factors in scaling up global health interventions. Then, based on the author’s practicum experience in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, the paper made an ex-ante assessment of how these factors might affect a program to scale up mental health services in that state. The paper concluded that scaling up mental health in Madhya Pradesh is likely to encounter significant challenges, including the size and complexity of the state’s population, high rates of poverty, low spending on primary healthcare, and a weakly-performing public health system. The paper recommended policies and actions to improve the success of scaling up mental health interventions in the Madhya Pradesh. These included taking a phased approach to scaling up, selecting the initial districts for inclusion in the program carefully, conducting a statewide information, education, and communications (IEC) plan to counter stigma against mental health, developing strong leadership throughout the state to promote mental health, continuing with on-going health system reform and finding a partner to help finance the required services.

In the effective tight-binding models that can be simulated, we demonstrate that this technique allows for a local and time-dependent control over all system parameters, and additionally allows for single-site resolved detection of atomic populations. We demonstrate full control over site-to-site off-diagonal tunneling elements (amplitude and phase) and diagonal site-energies, through the observation of continuous-time quantum walks, Bloch oscillations, and negative tunneling. These capabilities open up new prospects in the experimental study of disordered and topological systems.

The Effectiveness of Disaster Training for Healthcare Workers: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Williams, Jefferson G.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: OBJECTIVES: Disaster training for health care workers is an important focus for medical and public service institutions. Knowledge from evidence-based medical literature is lacking regarding the best methods to train health care providers in disaster response. The authors systematically reviewed the literature to report whether training interventions in disaster preparedness improve knowledge and skills in disaster response. METHODS: The authors searched MEDLINE, lSI Web of Science, BIOSIS, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), The Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, the Public Affairs Information Service, and Education Full Text. Selected journals, articles, and other comprehensive reports were also reviewed for relevant citations. Subjects of eligible articles were hospital based and prehospital healthcare providers. Inclusion Criteria for the literature were: articles published in English between January 2000 and December 2005, described a training exercise undertaken to further knowledge and/or skills in disaster response, measured a quantitative and objective outcome, and used a control or comparison group. Included studies were independently reviewed by two researchers and study quality was assessed using criteria adapted from the US Preventive Services Task Force and the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination. RESULTS: The literature search identified 258 studies, and ten studies met inclusion criteria. Subjects of included studies consisted of emergency medical services personnel, public health nurses, medical students, emergency department physicians and nurses, and longterm care facility staff. Evidence exists that both supports and questions the effectiveness of computer and web-based training interventions. Fair to poor evidence supports the effectiveness oflecture-based training. CONCLUSIONS: The evidence is mixed regarding whether training interventions for health care providers in disaster preparedness improve objective measures ofknowledge and skills in disaster response. Standardized and rigorous methodology should be used in the future to examine the effectiveness of disaster training, as this area of medical education is likely to remain a national and professional priority.

description: O objetivo do trabalho foi obter um perfil dos fatores de risco relacionados com a aterosclerose em estudantes de Iretama – PR, em estudo realizado entre fevereiro de 2007 e fevereiro de 2008. De 700 escolares entrevistados, 14,6% (102 alunos) apresentaram história familiar de fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de doença arterial coronariana (DAC). Nesta amostra, foram realizadas coletas sanguíneas para avaliação do perfil lipídico (colesterol total, lipoproteínas de baixa e alta densidade e triglicerídeos) e glicêmico. Além disso, foi aferida a pressão arterial e avaliado o índice de massa corporal (IMC). Com o auxílio de questionários, informações como a renda familiar, escolaridade dos pais, cor e sedentarismo foram pesquisadas. Foi verificado que 6,9% dos estudantes apresentaram hipercolesterolemia grave. Em relação à lipoproteína de baixa densidade (LDL), 4,9% dos estudantes apresentaram níveis acima do desejável e quanto à lipoproteína de alta densidade (HDL), 18,6% apresentaram índices abaixo do recomendado. Triglicerídeos aumentados foram observados em 18,5%, assim como hipoglicemia em 5,9% dos estudantes, sendo que 100% destes apresentaram-se abaixo do peso. Foi observado um aumento da hipertensão arterial sistêmica com o aumento da idade. A maior parte dos estudantes (58,8%) apresentou condição de desnutrição. A análise socioeconômica revelou que a maioria das famílias pertencia à Classe E (53,9%). Os resultados mostraram alterações clínicas, que são consideradas fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de DAC, destacando-se os fatores de risco mutáveis para aterosclerose. Assim, tornam-se necessárias medidas de intervenção em saúde para jovens com história familiar de fatores de riscos para DAC

Resurgent transseries $\&$ Dyson-Schwinger equations
Creators: name: Klaczynski, Lutz
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We employ resurgent transseries as algebraic tools to investigate two self-consistent Dyson-Schwinger equations, one in Yukawa theory and one in quantum electrodynamics. After a brief but pedagogical review, we derive fixed point equations for the associated anomalous dimensions and insert a moderately generic log-free transseries ansatz to study the possible strictures imposed. While proceeding in various stages, we develop an algebraic method to keep track of the transseries' coefficients. We explore what conditions must be violated in order to stay clear of fixed point theorems to eschew a unique solution, if so desired, as we explain. An interesting find is that the flow of data between the different sectors of the transseries shows a pattern typical of resurgence, ie the phenomenon that the perturbative sector of the transseries talks to the nonperturbative ones in a one-way fashion. However, our ansatz is not exotic enough as it leads to trivial solutions with vanishing nonperturbative sectors, even when logarithmic monomials are included. We see our result as a harbinger of what future work might reveal about the transseries representations of observables in fully renormalised four-dimensional quantum field theories and adduce a tentative yet to our mind weighty argument as to why one should not expect otherwise. This paper is considerably self-contained. Readers with little prior knowledge are let in on the basic reasons why perturbative series in quantum field theory eventually require an upgrade to transseries. Furthermore, in order to acquaint the reader with the language utilised extensively in this work, we also provide a concise mathematical introduction to grid-based transeries.

Helping When Duty No Longer Calls: World Trade Center Volunteering Behaviors among Former FDNY Members
Creators: name: Glass, Lara
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Every day, Americans living in communities large and small are faced with opportunities to voluntarily perform acts of public service. From relatively minor gestures to more significant risks to personal safety, from holding an elevator door to pushing a pedestrian out of the path of a moving bus, people are frequently presented with chances to help others. The tragic September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC) were a unique occurrence that provided thousands of skilled adults with opportunities to engage in voluntary public service. Recent efforts by the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) to track the volunteer response among former FDNY members present a rare opportunity to study these public service behaviors in a well-defined context.

description: Objectives: We assessed the uptake of HIV activities when integrated into routine care at 14 TB clinics in Kinshasa, DRC. Design: Descriptive analysis of prospective data on patients registered with TB between February 2006 and December 2006. Data was collected using modified TB treatment cards to capture both TB and HIV activities. Results: Among 3521 patients with TB, a high uptake rate of HIV testing was achieved (mean 90.2%), with large variation between clinics (range 65-99%). Almost all patients tested received post-test counseling (mean 95.8%, range 78-99%). The mean HIV prevalence rate was 16.7%, varying by clinic from 8.8 to 33.3%. Cotrimoxazole was initiated in most HIV co-infected patients (81.5%, range 63-91.5%). Referral of HIV-positive patients for psychosocial support increased over time from 32% in the 1st month of operation to 67% in the 10th month, again varying widely by clinic (0 to 85%). Antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation was sporadic and varied by month and clinic with a mean of 6.9% of patients receiving ART. Among the 39 patients receiving ART, 28 (72%) started ART before TB diagnosis. Only 9 patients gained access to ART following HIV testing at the TB clinic. Discussion: High uptake of collaborative TB/HIV activities (HIV testing, posttest counseling and cotrimoxazole) was achieved when these activities were integrated into routine TB care. Access to ART was low among newly diagnosed co-infected patients. Quarterly monitoring and evaluation of performance of activities at the clinic level using visual charts of activities demonstrated variable performance between clinics over time.

description: Our aim is to precisely measure the physical parameters of the eclipsing binary IO Aqr and derive a distance to this system by applying a surface brightness - colour relation. Our motivation is to combine these parameters with future precise distance determinations from the GAIA space mission to derive precise surface brightness - colour relations for stars. We extensively used photometry from the Super-WASP and ASAS projects and precise radial velocities obtained from HARPS and CORALIE high-resolution spectra. We analysed light curves with the code JKTEBOP and radial velocity curves with the Wilson-Devinney program. We found that IO Aqr is a hierarchical triple system consisting of a double-lined short-period (P=2.37 d) spectroscopic binary and a low-luminosity and low-mass companion star orbiting the binary with a period of ~25000 d (~70 yr) on a very eccentric orbit. We derive high-precision (better than 1%) physical parameters of the inner binary, which is composed of two slightly evolved main-sequence stars (F5 V-IV + F6 V-IV) with masses of M1=1.569+/-0.004 and M2=1.655+/-0.004 M_sun and radii R1=2.19+/-0.02 and R2=2.49+/-0.02 R_sun. The companion is most probably a late K-type dwarf with mass ~0.6 M_sun. The distance to the system resulting from applying a (V-K) surface brightness - colour relation is 255+/-6(stat.)+/-6(sys.) pc, which agrees well with the Hipparcos value of 270+/-73 pc, but is more precise by a factor of eight.

description: Due to the wide range of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications, the current fleet will multiply in the coming years.1 However, this growth in the UAV fleet will inevitably be accompanied by a series of concerns. Mainly, the scientific community2 is concerned about both polluting and greenhouse gas emissions, as well as noise emissions in the operation of these aircraft in urban environments.3 In recent years, multiple technologies have been proposed to alleviate these problems, such as electrification or hybridisation,4 the use of distributed electric propulsion (DEP),5 or boundary layer ingestion (BLI).6 Recently, in the research by Tiseira et al.,7 the combination of these technologies has been presented to design small fixed-wing aircraft weighing up to 25 kg. Those designs achieve up to 16% fuel savings compared to classic configurations based on ICE-powered mono propellers. This reduction in fuel for the same mission opens the door to designing new aircraft that optimise the application of these technologies, thus reducing the associated pollution and noise. The effect on fuel consumption can also be directly translated into other powerplant configurations, such as fuel cell-battery hybrids or direct battery-powered aircraft. In this work, a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (lasso) method is employed with an aircraft design database to develop tools that can aid the DEP BLI aircraft conceptual and preliminary design. Although the objective of the design procedures is to minimise energy consumption, the final configuration impacts the acoustic signature of the aircraft, which is an important concern during missions such as urban flight or patrol operations. Thus, the impact on noise emissions is also studied.

Task-Shifting in Operative Pediatric Surgical Care Delivery in Malawi
Creators: name: Tyson, Anna

description: Literature Review: Introduction: The burden of untreated surgical disease contributes to significant death and disability in much of sub-Saharan Africa. In regions with severely low surgeon to patient ratios, much of surgical care delivery is provided by non-physician clinicians (NPCs). This review summarizes the current literature describing the safety and effectiveness of task-shifting in general and pediatric surgical care in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: We performed a literature review of PubMed and Google Scholar to identify articles describing specific examples of task-shifting in the provision of general surgical care in sub-Saharan Africa. We then summarized the findings and assessed the quality of the studies. Results: Nine articles were included in the review. NPCs frequently performed emergent and elective procedures, including hernia repair and laparotomy for the management of abdominal trauma and surgical infections. All articles concluded that many general surgical procedures could be safely performed by NPCs, although only half of the articles reported rates of surgical complications and postoperative mortality. Conclusion: Task-shifting in the delivery of general surgical care is necessary in much of sub-Saharan Africa, given the severe workforce shortages. The available literature suggests that NPCs can provide safe and effective general surgical care. However, NPCs must be given the necessary training and support to ensure patient safety and sustainability. Original Research: Background: Specialized pediatric surgeons are unavailable in much of sub-Saharan Africa. Delegating some surgical tasks to non-physician clinical officers can mitigate the dependence of a health system on highly skilled clinicians for specific services. Methods: We performed a cohort study examining pediatric surgical cases over a 12 month period. Operating surgeon was categorized as physician or clinical officer. Operative acuity, surgical subspecialty, and outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 1186 operations were performed on 1004 pediatric patients. Mean age was 6 years (±5) and 64% of patients were male. Clinical officers performed 40% of the cases. Most general surgery, urology and congenital cases were performed by physicians, while most otolaryngology, neurosurgery, and burn surgery cases were performed by clinical officers. Reoperation rate was higher for patients treated by clinical officers, although this was attributable to multiple burn surgical procedures. The complication rate and mortality rate did not differ between physician and clinical officer cohorts. Conclusion: Fundamental changes in health policy in Africa are imperative as a significant increase in the number of surgeons available in the near future is unlikely. Task-shifting from surgeons to clinical officers may be useful to provide coverage of basic surgical care.

Interpolant Tree Automata and their Application in Horn Clause Verification

description: This paper investigates the combination of abstract interpretation over the domain of convex polyhedra with interpolant tree automata, in an abstraction-refinement scheme for Horn clause verification. These techniques have been previously applied separately, but are combined in a new way in this paper. The role of an interpolant tree automaton is to provide a generalisation of a spurious counterexample during refinement, capturing a possibly infinite set of spurious counterexample traces. In our approach these traces are then eliminated using a transformation of the Horn clauses. We compare this approach with two other methods; one of them uses interpolant tree automata in an algorithm for trace abstraction and refinement, while the other uses abstract interpretation over the domain of convex polyhedra without the generalisation step. Evaluation of the results of experiments on a number of Horn clause verification problems indicates that the combination of interpolant tree automaton with abstract interpretation gives some increase in the power of the verification tool, while sometimes incurring a performance overhead.

Pediatric Obesity Interventions in Racial and Ethnic Minorities: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Smith, Kelly
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Background: The prevalence of childhood obesity has increased dramatically in the United States, disproportionately afflicting racial and ethnic minorities and producing lifelong health consequences. Various lifestyle and pharmacologic obesity interventions have been analyzed with inadequate representation of minority populations. Systematic reviews that address obesity interventions in minority populations have not been published. Even with the increasing research on pediatric obesity, many clinicians and public health professionals are uncertain of effective interventions in minority populations. Purpose: To identify pediatric obesity intervention studies in minority populations and assess the effectiveness of these interventions. Data Sources: The MEDLINE database (inception through February 2008). Study Selection: The author selected prospective studies of various pediatric obesity interventions with adequate racial and ethnic minority participation that reported an outcome related to body mass index. Data Extraction: Predefined criteria were used to extract details on study design, study duration, study population, intervention type and outcomes. The studies were then graded as good, fair or poor. The overall body of evidence was then graded as high, moderate or low. Results: Ten eligible articles were included in the systematic review, seven of which were randomized controlled trials (RCT), one of which was a secondary analysis of an existing RCT, and two of which were prospective cohort studies. African-American and Hispanic children were the most common minority population represented. Five studies were effective in reducing adiposity. Only two studies were graded as good, while many had serious methodological flaws. Moderate evidence exists for some pharmacological interventions in decreasing adiposity, but evidence for lifestyle interventions alone is limited. Conclusions: Studies that address racial and ethnic minorities are limited. Available evidence does not clearly support any obesity intervention in minority populations, although pharmacotherapy in patients at high risk for comorbidities or combined with lifestyle changes may offer some benefit.
