Evaluating the implementation of the emergency, triage, assessment and treatment plus admission care intervention in Rwanda
Creators: name: Hategekimana, Celestin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Background: Emergency, Triage, Assessment and Treatment plus Admission care (ETAT+) intervention – a locally adapted pediatric advanced life support program – introduced in Rwanda in 2010 to facilitate the achievement of the fourth Millennium Development Goal. The current thesis was undertaken as part of a larger program of research that aims to evaluate the ETAT+ implementation in Rwanda. Methods: Data were gathered during a cross-sectional study in 8 district hospitals across Rwanda; an audit in these hospitals was undertaken to establish a baseline description of the availability of essential resources and process of care related to the leading causes of under-five mortality in Rwanda. To determine changes in participating healthcare providers’ knowledge and practical skills (n=374) between pre- and post ETAT+ implementation, a one group pre-posttest design was used. Paired t-test was used to assess the effect of ETAT+ training on knowledge improvement; and, linear and logistic regression models were fitted to examine factors associated with healthcare providers’ performance on ETAT+ knowledge and skills assessments in Rwanda. Results: Baseline assessment reveals some deficiencies in processes of care (i.e. assessment, treatment and follow-up care), poor organization of some hospital services (e.g., triage), and poor uptake of current pediatric clinical practice guidelines (e.g., dehydration). Post ETAT+, participants’ knowledge scores improved on average by 22.8% (95% CI 20.5, 25.1). Compared to participants who identified as proficient in French, those who identified as proficient in both English and French had on average a higher improvement in knowledge (least square mean=6.64; 95% CI 3.79, 9.49) and were more likely to pass the practical skills assessment (adjusted odds ratio=2.58; 95% CI 1.28, 5.48). Conclusions: The audit of medical records reveals gaps in the process of pediatric care; and these gaps were found to be consistent with knowledge gaps among healthcare providers, as assessed through the ETAT+ pre-assessment. Improvements in post-ETAT+ performance were significant and a number of factors (e.g., language barriers) were identified as important influences on ETAT+ training outcomes. These factors need to be taken in account when implementing ETAT+ and other continuing medical education interventions within the Rwandan context.

description: Excerpts from the report: The shoe industry has traditionally provided the major market for cattle hide leather. The use of man-made materials in the upper parts of shoes has already made inroads in this market and is expected to increase considerably within the next decade. A need has thus been created to ascertain consumer opinions of leather for shoe uppers to determine those characteristics of leather that consumers view unfavorably and would like to see improved. To meet this objective, respondents in this study were asked to name all the advantages and disadvantages they associated with shoe leather. Respondents were also asked to indicate from a list of 20 characteristics of shoe uppers (worded favorably and unfavorably) those that best described leather. In addition, they were presented a list of six potential improvements for leather in shoe uppers and were then asked the relative importance of each for their own shoes. Purpose of the survey was to provide guidance to the leather industry in developing desired improvements in product characteristics.

In den letzten 20 Jahren ist die Zahl der Kinobesuche von 149 Millionen (1998) auf nur noch 105 Millionen gesunken. Verliert das Kino sein Publikum? Nun war 2018 mit seinem langen heißen Sommer vielleicht ein besonders schlechtes Kinojahr, aber auch die etwa 120 bis 130 Millionen in den Vorjahren waren – zumal bei fallender Tendenz – ein deutliches Warnsignal. Die Kinobranche ist nicht zuletzt auch wegen der Konkurrenz aus dem Internet entsprechend besorgt: Netflix ante portas. Diese Ausgabe von Medienwelten betrachtet die Kinokrise und ihre Auswirkungen in einem etwas weiter gefassten Rahmen.

description: The square-gradient density-functional model with triple-parabolic free energy, that was used previously to study the homogeneous bubble nucleation [J. Chem. Phys. 129, 104508 (2008)], is used to study the stability of the critical bubble nucleated within the bulk under-saturated stretched fluid. The stability of the bubble is studied by solving the Schrödinger equation for the fluctuation. The negative eigenvalue corresponds to the unstable growing mode of the fluctuation. Our results show that there is only one negative eigenvalue whose eigenfunction represents the fluctuation that corresponds to the isotropically growing or shrinking nucleus. In particular, this negative eigenvalue survives up to the spinodal point. Therefore the critical bubble is not fractal or ramified near the spinodal.

description: We study the impact parameter dependence of inelasticity in the framework of an updated geometrical model for multiplicity distribution. A formula in which the inelasticity is related to the eikonal is obtained. This framework permits a calculation of the multiplicity distributions as well as the inelasticity once the eikonal function is given. Adopting a QCD inspired parametrization for the eikonal, in which the gluon-gluon contribution dominates at high energy and determines the asymptotic behavior of the cross sections, we find that the inelasticity decreases as collision energy is increased. Our results predict the KNO scaling violation observed at LHC energies by CMS Collaboration.

description: We demonstrate experimentally how to remove an arbitrary node from a continuous-variable cluster state and how to shorten any quantum wires of such a state. These two basic operations, performed in an unconditional fashion, are a manifestation of quantum erasure and can be employed to obtain various graph states from an initial cluster state. Starting with a sufficiently large cluster, the resulting graph states can then be used for universal quantum information processing. In the experiment, all variations of this cluster-shaping are demonstrated on a four-mode linear cluster state through homodyne measurements and feedforward.

description: Most of the services viewed in context to grid and cloud computing are mostly confined to services that are available for intellectual purposes. The grid or cloud computing are large scale distributed systems. The essence of large scale distribution can only be realized if the services are rendered to common man. The only organization which has exposure to almost every single resident is the respective governments in every country. As the size of population increases so the need for a larger purview arises. The problem of having a large purview can be solved by means of large scale grid for online services. The government services can be rendered through fully customized Service-oriented Clouds. In this paper we are presenting tight similarities between generic government functioning and the service oriented grid/cloud approach. Also, we will discuss the major issues in establishing services oriented grids for governmental organization.

description: We summarize results of recent studies of heavy quarkonia correlators and spectral functions at finite temperatures from lattice QCD and systematic T-matrix studies using QCD motivated finite-temperature potentials. We argue that heavy quarkonia dissociation shall occur in the temperature range $1.2 \le T_d/T_c \le 1.5$ by the interplay of both screening and absorption in the strongly correlated plasma medium. We discuss these effects on the quantum mechanical evolution of quarkonia states within a time-dependent harmonic oscillator model with complex oscillator strength and compare the results with data for $R_{\rm AA}/R_{\rm AA}^{\rm CNM}$ from RHIC and SPS experiments. We speculate whether the suppression pattern of the rather precise NA60 data from In-In collisions may be related to the recently discovered X(3872) state. Theoretical support for this hypothesis comes from the cluster expansion of the plasma Hamiltonian for heavy quarkonia in a strongly correlated medium.

The potentials of the fields have been reconstructed under interaction and their evolutions have been viewed against cosmic time $t$ and scalar field $ϕ$. Equation of state parameters have also been obtained. The nature of potentials and the equation of state parameters of the dark energies have been found graphically in presence of interaction (both small and large interaction).

description: An analysis of the path-integral approach to quantum theory motivates the hypothesis that two experiments with the same classical action should have dual ontological descriptions. If correct, this hypothesis would not only constrain realistic interpretations of quantum theory, but would also act as a constructive principle, allowing any realistic model of one experiment to generate a corresponding model for its action-dual. Two pairs of action-dual experiments are presented, including one experiment that violates the Bell inequality and yet is action-dual to a single particle. The implications generally support retrodictive and retrocausal interpretations.

Sub-wavelength grating ring resonators based on silicon-on-insulator technology for sensing applications
Creators: name: Sherwali, Ahmed Hamid Ehmida
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Standard silicon photonic strip waveguides offer a high intrinsic refractive index contrast; this permits strong light confinement, leading to compact bends, which in turn facilitate the fabrication of devices with a small footprint. Waveguides based on sub-wavelength gratings (SWGs) can allow the fabrication of devices with specific, engineered optical properties. The combination of SWG waveguides with optical resonators can offer the possibility of achieving ring resonators with properties different from the traditional Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) rings. One important property that SWG rings can offer is decreased light confinement in the waveguide core; this improves the resonator’s sensitivity to changes in the cladding refractive index, making the rings ideal for refractive index sensing applications. This thesis presents the design and experimental characterization of SWG-based rings realized on SOI chips without upper cladding, permitting their use as sensors. The sensitivity achieved was 400 nm/RIU and the limit of detection was 9.9 x 10−⁴ .

description: To find out whether toroidal field can stably exist in galaxies the current-driven instability of toroidal magnetic fields is considered under the influence of an axial magnetic field component and under the influence of both rigid and differential rotation. The MHD equations are solved in a simplified model with cylindric geometry. We assume the axial field as uniform and the fluid as incompressible. The stability of a toroidal magnetic field is strongly influenced by uniform axial magnetic fields. If both field components are of the same order of magnitude then the instability is slightly supported and modes with m>1 dominate. If the axial field even dominates the most unstable modes have again m>1 but the field is strongly stabilized. All modes are suppressed by a fast rigid rotation where the m=1 mode maximally resists. Just this mode becomes best re-animated for Ω> Ω^A (Ω^A the Alfven frequency) if the rotation has a negative shear. -- Strong indication has been found for a stabilization of the nonaxisymmetric modes for fluids with small magnetic Prandtl number if they are unstable for Pm=1. For rotating fluids the higher modes with m>1 do not play an important role in the linear theory. In the light of our results galactic fields should be marginally unstable against perturbations with m<= 1. The corresponding growth rates are of the order of the rotation period of the inner part of the galaxy.

The lived experience of infant bonding in mothers with mental health and substance use problems in a supportive environment
Creators: name: Abizadeh, Jasmin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Bonding has impacts on both maternal and infant well-being and likely also on future child development; however, our understanding of this phenomenon remains limited, especially among women with mental health and substance use problems. This study explored the lived experience of maternal-infant bonding in postpartum women with substance use and mental health problems. Using a phenomenological research design, 9 women participated in in-depth, unstructured, open-ended interviews. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and data was analyzed using interpretive phenomenological analysis. Five common themes characterized the women’s lived experience of the phenomenon maternal-infant bonding: Sense of Transformation, Emotional Experience of Bonding, Sense of Connection, Sense of Nurturance, and Sense of Future. Findings are discussed within the context of existing literature on maternal-infant bonding, both in the general population and among women with mental health and substance use problems. Implications for clinical practice and future research are discussed.

description: Quantum mechanical phenomena, such as electronic coherence and entanglement, play a key role in achieving the unrivalled efficiencies of light-energy conversion in natural photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes, and triggered the growing interest in the possibility of organic quantum computing. Since biological systems are intrinsically heterogeneous, clear relations between structural and quantum-mechanical properties can only be obtained by investigating individual assemblies. However, single-molecule techniques to access ultrafast coherences at physiological conditions were not available so far. Here we show by employing femtosecond pulse-shaping techniques that quantum coherences in single organic molecules can be created, probed, and manipulated at ambient conditions even in highly disordered solid environments. We find broadly distributed coherence decay times for different individual molecules giving direct insight into the structural heterogeneity of the local surroundings. Most importantly, we induce Rabi-oscillations and control the coherent superposition state in a single molecule, thus performing a basic femtosecond single-qubit operation at room temperature.

Und könnte diese Entwicklung mit den aktuellen gesell­schaftlichen Lebensumständen wie Pluralität, Globalisierung und Individuali­sierung in Verbindung stehen? Diesen Fragen nähert sich diese Forschungsarbeit an, indem sich beispielhaft den Wasenbesu­chern in Stuttgart gewidmet wird. Der empirische Teil dieser Arbeit umfasst die Auswertung sechs qualitativer Episodi­scher Inter­views. Es werden die Motive des Trachtentragens, sowie die Beschrei­bung und Bewertung des subjektiven Lebens­zusammen­hangs der jungen Menschen untersucht. Im Schritt der Inter­pretation werden beide Aspekte zueinander in Bezie­hung gesetzt.

description: In this letter we present a new form of the well known Chaplygin gas model by introducing inhomogeneity in the EOS. This model explains $ω=-1$ crossing. Also we have given a graphical representation of the model using $\{r,s\}$ parameters. We have also considered an interaction of this model with the scalar field by introducing a phenomenological coupling function and have shown that the potential decays with time.

description: This work evaluates the potential of using eggshells as biosorbents for the removal of copper (II) ions from aqueous solutions. Two types of eggshells were investigated; untreated raw eggshells (ES) and eggshells that were mechanically ball-milled into the nano-size (NES). TEM imaging confirmed the nano-size of NES which lies in the range of 12–14.8 nm, while BET analysis showed that both types of eggshells are mesoporous and that the surface area of NES is 1.6 times higher than its ES counterpart. FTIR spectra, XRD patterns, and SEM-EDX measurements indicated that there are no structural differences between ES and NES. Optimum adsorption took place at pH 5 and initial Cu (II) concentration of 20 mg/L for both ES and NES where removal efficiencies of 91.36% and 97.21% were achieved, respectively. Although both biosorbents exhibited comparable adsorption capacities, yet the rate of adsorption of Cu (II) onto NES was 17 times higher than its counterpart onto ES probably due to the larger surface area of NES. It could be hypothesized that the mechanism of interaction took place via electrostatic outer-sphere complexation between the positively-charged Cu ions and the negatively-charged ES or NES as zeta potential measurements indicated. Additionally, ES and NES were regenerated for four cycles. From this study, it can thus be deduced that both ES and NES could be potentially utilized as eco-friendly adsorbents for the removal of copper ions from contaminated water. However, NES provides an additional advantage over ES since it offers much rapid removal of Cu (II) while possessing the same adsorption capacity of ES.
Nonlinear Sampling and Lebesgue's Integral Sums

description: We consider nonlinear, or "event-dependent", sampling, i.e. such that the sampling instances {tk} depend on the function being sampled. The use of such sampling in the construction of Lebesgue's integral sums is noted and discussed as regards physical measurement and also possible nonlinearity of singular systems. Though the limit of the sums, i.e. Lebesgue's integral, is linear with regard to the function being integrated, these sums are nonlinear in the sense of the sampling. A relevant method of frequency detection not using any clock, and using the nonlinear sampling, is considered. The mathematics and the realization arguments essentially complete each other.
description: This is a continuation of my research of the classification of singular systems as linear and nonlinear (see IEEE CAS MAG, III, 2009 for switched systems, and here in the ArXiv) to sampling systems. The noted nonlinearity of Lebesgue's approximating sums, and an application of the "psy-transform", introduced by me earlier, to signal analysis are the examples. 5 pages, 4 figures

description: Seit einigen Jahren kursiert im Internet der Begriff Yolocaust als Bezeichnung für ein vorwiegend jugendbildkulturelles Phänomen, welches das als unangemessen empfundene Erstellen von Foto­gra­fien im Stile der jugendlichen Selfiekultur in Holocaust-Ge­denk­stätten und das anschließende Teilen dieser Bilder in den sozialen Netzwerken meint und welches oft als Symptom einer gestörten Erinnerungskultur gedeutet wird. Dieser Beitrag er­schließt anhand der Plattform Instagram zunächst die graduellen Ausprägungen dieser Bildkultur und sucht anschließend über die Analyse der Programmatik und der allgemeinen Bildkultur des Netzwerkes nach Erklärungsansätzen in der medialen Eigenlogik. Abschließend wird nach pädagogischen Konsequenzen für die Vorbereitung des Gedenkstättenbesuchs gefragt, ohne eine pau­schale Verurteilung der Bildkultur anzustreben.

Food neophobia, feeding and sorting behaviour in dairy calves
Creators: name: Costa, Joao Henrique Cardoso
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Standard practice within the dairy industry is to separate calves from the dam immediately after birth and raise calves in individual pens during the milk-feeding period with little or no contact with conspecifics. I reviewed empirical work (Chapter 2) on the social development of calves, the effects of social isolation and the practices associated with group housing of dairy calves. From this review I identified literature gaps that were explored in the following chapters. In Chapter 3, I explored how pairing age affects performance and feeding behaviour development in dairy calves. Early pairing (3 d of age) increased solid feed intake and weight gains in comparison to late-pairing (42 d of age) and individual housing. In Chapter 4, I investigated how individual housing of calves affects food neophobia. The results suggested that calves raised in a complex social environment are less reluctant to ingest new feed types. Chapter 5 investigated whether being grouped with experienced dairy cows would affect the development of grazing behaviours in pregnant dairy heifers first introduced to pasture. The results indicated that grouping heifers with pasture-experienced cows improves grazing behaviour in the first hours following introduction to pasture. Chapter 6 assessed whether weaned calves would sort a total mixed ration (TMR) and if sorting was affected by the availability of a separate grain source. I found that calves can sort a total mixed ration and that the provision of a separate source of concentrate reduces sorting. I conclude that calves raised in more complex social environments early in life experience benefits related to feeding behaviour development, performance, ability to cope with novelty, and that experienced companions can be used to mitigate stress associated with novelty.

Chaos and dynamics of spinning particles in Kerr spacetime
Creators: name: Han, Wen-Biao
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study chaos dynamics of spinning particles in Kerr spacetime of rotating black holes use the Papapetrou equations by numerical integration. Because of spin, this system exists many chaos solutions, and exhibits some exceptional dynamic character. We investigate the relations between the orbits chaos and the spin magnitude S, pericenter, polar angle and Kerr rotation parameter a by means of a kind of brand new Fast Lyapulov Indicator (FLI) which is defined in general relativity. The classical definition of Lyapulov exponent (LE) perhaps fails in curve spacetime. And we emphasize that the Poincaré sections cannot be used to detect chaos for this case. Via calculations, some new interesting conclusions are found: though chaos is easier to emerge with bigger S, but not always depends on S monotonically; the Kerr parameter a has a contrary action on the chaos occurrence. Furthermore, the spin of particles can destroy the symmetry of the orbits about the equatorial plane. And for some special initial conditions, the orbits have equilibrium points.

description: The LHC experiments have been running successfully and taking data since 2010. Much experience has been gained in running detector systems in challenging radiation conditions, and the impact on operation and performance has been assessed in this report. In general, we find the impact of the radiation effects to be in accordance with initial design expectations. While some unexpected effects have been observed with challenging consequences, these were in general successfully mitigated against.

description: Simulating the effects of radiation on signal response in silicon sensors is crucial for accurately predicting detector performance throughout the lifetime of the experiment. This, in turn, improves the reconstruction accuracy of proton–proton collisions and helps maintain the experiment’s physics reach. In what follows, the strategies implemented by the LHC experiments to correctly simulate the evolution of silicon tracking performance with luminosity will be presented. Different implementations of sensor simulations are used by the large LHC experiments. In what follows, the implementations for ATLAS (Section 7.1), CMS (Section 7.2), and LHCb (Section 7.3) are described. In Section 7.4 the different strategies of the LHC experiments are compared.

description: We prove that the norm of the Euler class E for flat vector bundles is $2^{-n}$ (in even dimension $n$, since it vanishes in odd dimension). This shows that the Sullivan--Smillie bound considered by Gromov and Ivanov--Turaev is sharp. We construct a new cocycle representing E and taking only the two values $\pm 2^{-n}$; a null-set obstruction prevents any cocycle from existing on the projective space. We establish the uniqueness of an antisymmetric representative for E in bounded cohomology.
