description: After the burst of the US real estate price bubble in 2008, the events in Greece played, at least for some time, a unique role on the path towards the European sovereign debt crisis. We examine this issue empirically and then discuss some relevant questions for policymakers, regulators, fixed income investors, and financial risk managers. Our findings should be of interest when modeling risk premia determined in the market for sovereign bonds issued by countries that have introduced the Euro. Given the exposure of the European insurance industry to these fixed-income securities, the results are important for asset managers and financial risk managers that are working in this segment of the financial services industry.
description: Nach dem Platzen der Immobilienpreisblase in den USA haben die Vorgänge in Griechenland eine hohe Bedeutung für die Entwicklungen gehabt, die dann letztlich zu einer Staatsschuldenkrise in Europa geführt haben. Wir analysieren die Zusammenhänge empirisch und diskutieren dann in diesem Kontext relevante Fragestellungen für Wirtschafts- und Finanzpolitiker, Regulierungsbehörden, Investoren und Risikomanager in der Finanzbranche. Unsere Ergebnisse dürften von besonderer Bedeutung für die Modellierung von Risikoprämien am Markt für Staatsanleihen aus der Eurozone sein. Mit Blick auf das Anlageverhalten von Versicherungsunternehmen haben die Ergebnisse unserer empirischen Untersuchungen sicherlich eine hohe Relevanz für Kapitalanleger und Risikomanager in dieser Branche.
State Control of Historical Memory in Post-Genocide Rwanda

subject: Gacaca justice system

description: Ananya Karthik’s human rights capstone explores how Rwanda's gacaca court system, established as a more localized transitional justice mechanism after the Rwandan genocide, operated within an authoritarian political climate and made shaky progress towards its objectives of truth and reconciliation. She analyzes how the post-genocide government set up systems of surveillance and censorship to erase its own crimes from the record and stifle dissent among different communities. In doing so, she explores how the state exercised control over public gatherings in order to reconstruct historical memory and national consciousness. She hopes this paper sheds light on the complicated nuances of transitional justice and how processes of justice should include direct community voices, sound government oversight, and understandings of political context.

description: In Quantum Physics there are circumstances where the direct measurement of particular observables encounters diffculties; in some of these cases, however, its value can be evaluated, i.e. it can be inferred by measuring another observable characterized by perfect correlation with the observable of interest. Though an evaluation is often interpreted as a measurement of the evaluated observable, we prove that the two concepts cannot be identified in Quantum Physics, because the identifcation yields contradictions. Then, we establish the conceptual status of evaluations in Quantum Theory and the role can be ascribed to them.

description: We proposed a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based surrogate model to predict the nonlocal response for flexoelectric structures with complex topologies. The input, i.e. the binary images, for the CNN is obtained by converting geometries into pixels, while the output comes from simulations of an isogeometric (IGA) flexoelectric model, which in turn exploits the higher-order continuity of the underlying non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) basis functions to fast computing of flexoelectric parameters, e.g., electric gradient, mechanical displacement, strain, and strain gradient. To generate the dataset of porous flexoelectric cantilevers, we developed a NURBS trimming technique based on the IGA model. As for CNN construction, the key factors were optimized based on the IGA dataset, including activation functions, dropout layers, and optimizers. Then the cross-validation was conducted to test the CNN’s generalization ability. Last but not least, the potential of the CNN performance has been explored under different model output sizes and the corresponding possible optimal model layout is proposed. The results can be instructive for studies on deep learning of other nonlocal mech-physical simulations.

description: Iron-based shape memory alloys have recently attracted increased attention due to their low material costs combined with good workability and high transformation strains. They show excellent welding properties, as shown by several studies and compared to non-iron-based shape memory alloys, and are potential candidate materials for large-scale application as damping elements in building structures. Since subsequent heat treatment is only possible to a limited extent for large-scale components, it is necessary to minimize the effects of processing and welding operations on the shape memory properties. Therefore, a suitable microstructure must be established in the heat-affected zone and the fusion zone during the welding process. Thus, industrially processed polycrystalline Fe-Mn-Al-Ni was joined by tungsten inert gas welding with matching filler material. The phases formed upon welding with different parameters were investigated using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Shielding gas composition as well as mean arc linear energy have a huge impact on the γ-phase precipitation. Intercrystalline cracking can be supressed by increasing the γ content. Further, the α-fraction and grain size in the fusion zone can be controlled by the welding parameters. Ultimately, a hardness value of the fusion zone equal to heat-treated material was achieved which suggests that the fusion zone may be able to transfer the stress required for martensitic transformation.

description: OBJECTIVE: We reviewed studies published from 1990 to 2010 examining the relation of peer influence to diabetes outcomes for adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
METHODS: We searched PsychInfo and MedLine databases and personal archives for studies meeting our criteria. 24 articles were included in the final review.
RESULTS: Qualitative studies revealed that teens believe peers have an impact on diabetes behaviors, but quantitative findings are inconclusive. We found more evidence that social conflict was harmful than social support was helpful. Associations were more likely in studies that measured specific support and specific self-care variables. Studies addressing how individual differences interact with social context had promising findings.
CONCLUSIONS: The literature linking peer relations to diabetes outcomes is mixed. Future research should consider moderator variables, expand the conceptualization of peer relationships, and consider interactions between person and social context.

description: I argue that the appropriateness of an assertion is sensitive to context—or, really, the “common ground”—in a way that hasn’t previously been emphasized by philosophers. This kind of context-sensitivity explains why some scientific conclusions seem to be appropriately asserted even though they are not known, believed, or justified on the available evidence. I then consider other recent attempts to account for this phenomenon and argue that if they are to be successful, they need to recognize the kind of context-sensitivity that I argue for.
Haptic object perception: spatial dimensionality and relation to vision.

description: Enabled by the remarkable dexterity of the human hand, specialized haptic exploration is a hallmark of object perception by touch. Haptic exploration normally takes place in a spatial world that is three-dimensional; nevertheless, stimuli of reduced spatial dimensionality are also used to display spatial information. This paper examines the consequences of full (three-dimensional) versus reduced (two-dimensional) spatial dimensionality for object processing by touch, particularly in comparison with vision. We begin with perceptual recognition of common human-made artefacts, then extend our discussion of spatial dimensionality in touch and vision to include faces, drawing from research on haptic recognition of facial identity and emotional expressions. Faces have often been characterized as constituting a specialized input for human perception. We find that contrary to vision, haptic processing of common objects is impaired by reduced spatial dimensionality, whereas haptic face processing is not. We interpret these results in terms of fundamental differences in object perception across the modalities, particularly the special role of manual exploration in extracting a three-dimensional structure.

description: A new method to determine the spin tune is described and tested. In an ideal planar magnetic ring, the spin tune - defined as the number of spin precessions per turn - is given by $ν_s = γG$ (gamma is the Lorentz factor, $G$ the magnetic anomaly). For 970 MeV/c deuterons coherently precessing with a frequency of ~120 kHz in the Cooler Synchrotron COSY, the spin tune is deduced from the up-down asymmetry of deuteron carbon scattering. In a time interval of 2.6 s, the spin tune was determined with a precision of the order $10^{-8}$, and to $1 \cdot 10^{-10}$ for a continuous 100 s accelerator cycle. This renders the presented method a new precision tool for accelerator physics: controlling the spin motion of particles to high precision is mandatory, in particular, for the measurement of electric dipole moments of charged particles in a storage ring.

description: The increasing use of graphene-based materials (GBM) requires their safety evaluation, especially in occupational settings. The same physico-chemical (PC) properties that confer GBM extraordinary functionalities may affect the potential toxic response. Most toxicity assessments mainly focus on graphene oxide and rarely investigate GBMs varying only by one property. As a novelty, the present study assessed the in vitro cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of six reduced graphene oxides (rGOs) with different PC properties in the human bronchial epithelial 16HBE14o − cell line. Of the six materials, rGO1-rGO4 only differed in the carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) content, whereas rGO5 and rGO6 were characterized by different lateral size and number of layers, respectively, but similar C/O content compared with rGO1. The materials were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, laser diffraction and dynamic light scattering, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. Cytotoxicity (Luminescent Cell Viability and WST-8 assays), the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS; 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescin diacetate-based assay), the production of cytokines (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays) and genotoxicity (comet and micronucleus assays) were evaluated. Furthermore, the internalization of the materials in the cells was confirmed by laser confocal microscopy. No relationships were found between the C/O ratio or the lateral size and any of the rGO-induced biological effects. However, rGO of higher oxygen content showed higher cytotoxic and early ROS-inducing potential, whereas genotoxic effects were observed with the rGO of the lowest density of oxygen groups. On the other hand, a higher number of layers seems to be associated with a decreased potential for inducing cytotoxicity and ROS production.
A Guide to National Environmental Justice Screening Tools

subject: Climate change mitigation

description: For his human rights capstone project, Eddie Dilworth created a guide to national environmental justice screening tools from the Center for Diseases Control (CDC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). These tools are meant to screen for communities that may face disproportionate burdens from climate change and environmental issues, and generally combine data on both environmental burdens, and socioeconomic factors to highlight these communities, including for additional research attention or government resources. However, it is challenging to read each of their 35+ page technical documentation reports and make an informed decision on which screening tool to use and what its limitations may be. This project thus aims to summarize the technical documentations of the tools, provide demonstrations of how to use them, and outline their main differences, in ArcGIS StoryMaps.

description: Fluttering piezoelectric plates may harvest energy from a fluid flow by converting the plate's mechanical deformation into electric energy in an output circuit. This work focuses on the influence of the arrangement of the piezoelectric electrodes along the plate's surface on the energy harvesting efficiency of the system, using a combination of experiments and numerical simulations. A weakly non-linear model of a plate in axial flow, equipped with a discrete number of piezoelectric patches is derived and confronted to experimental results. Numerical simulations are then used to optimize the position and dimensions of the piezoelectric electrodes. These optimal configurations can be understood physically in the limit of small and large electromechanical coupling.

description: The sport of rock climbing has recently gained in popularity due in part to its adoption by noncompetitive athletes as a physical activity with a level of intensity that can be self-regulated. However, the epidemiology of rock climbing injuries is poorly described at the national level. We report demographic and injury characteristics from 85,235 national weighted estimates of rock climbing injuries presenting to United States (US) emergency departments (EDs) between 2000 and 2019 in the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, stratifying by whether patients were ≤18 years of age (A) or ≥19 years of age (B). The national weighted estimate of patients presenting to US EDs with injuries associated with rock climbing rose significantly (p < 0.001) from 2000 (2,667, CI 1,777–3,557) to 2019 (7,087, CI 4,544–9,630). Patients ≤18 years of age were significantly less likely to be male (A: 56.3%, CI 52.0–60.6%; B: 64.7%; CI 60.4–69.0%; p = 0.003), sustain injuries on weekends (A: 29.8%, 24.5–35.1%; B: 64.7%, CI 60.4–69.0%; p = 0.002), or sustain injuries during summer seasons (A: 26.6%, CI 22.1–31.1%; B: 33.2%, CI 28.1–38.3%; p = 0.049). Multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that patients ≤18 years of age were significantly more likely to present to EDs with head and neck (OR: 1.52, CI 1.04–2.21; p = 0.032) or upper extremity (OR: 1.55; CI 1.24–1.93; p < 0.001) injuries associated with rock climbing. We identified a significant increase in the annual estimated number of patients presenting to US EDs with rock climbing injuries compared to what has previously been reported. As the number of climbers continues to grow, standardized safety policies may be implemented that specifically target injury mechanisms and patterns unique to both adult and pediatric populations.

description: Despite the impressive literature describing atypical neural activation in visuoperceptual face processing regions in autism, almost nothing is known about whether these perturbations extend to more affective regions in the circuitry and whether they bear any relationship to symptom severity or atypical behavior. Using fMRI, we compared face-, object-, and house-related activation in adolescent males with high-functioning autism (HFA) and typically developing (TD) matched controls. HFA adolescents exhibited hypo-activation throughout the core visuoperceptual regions, particularly in the right hemisphere, as well as in some of the affective/motivational face-processing regions, including the posterior cingulate cortex and right anterior temporal lobe. Conclusions about the relative hyper- or hypo-activation of the amygdala depended on the nature of the contrast that was used to define the activation. Individual differences in symptom severity predicted the magnitude of face activation, particularly in the right fusiform gyrus. Also, among the HFA adolescents, face recognition performance predicted the magnitude of face activation in the right anterior temporal lobe, a region that supports face individuation in TD adults. Our findings reveal a systematic relation between the magnitude of neural dysfunction, severity of autism symptoms, and variation in face recognition behavior in adolescents with autism. In so doing, we uncover brain-behavior relations that underlie one of the most prominent social deficits in autism and help resolve discrepancies in the literature.

description: WTe2 semimetal, as a typical layered transition-metal dichalcogenide, has recently attracted much attention due to the extremely large, non-saturating parabolic magnetoresistance in perpendicular field. Here, we report a systematic study of the angular dependence of the magnetoresistance in WTe2 single crystal. The violation of the Kohler rule and a significant anisotropic magnetotransport behavior in different magnetic field directions are observed. Surprisingly, when the applied field is parallel to the tungsten chains of WTe2, an exotic large longitudinal linear magnetoresistance as high as 1200% at 15 T and 2 K is identified. Violation of the Kohler rule in transverse magnetoresistance can be understood based on a dual effect of the excitons formation and thermal activation, while large longitudinal linear magnetoresistance reflects perfectly the scattering and nesting of quasi-1D nature of this balanced hole-electron system. Our work will stimulate studies of such double-carrier correlated material and corresponding quantum physics.
Grievances, Demands, and Silencing: The case of Mutasareen-e Mirani Dam Movement
Creators: name: Kamal, Ahsan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: The sociological study of social movements conflates grievances with demands, and literature does not explain cases where the disjuncture between underlying grievances and articulated demands are significant. I propose a theory of silencing to study the gap between grievances and demand introduced due to internal and external movement factors shaped by differential power structures. Using the case of the Mutasareen-e Mirani Dam movement against a large dam in Pakistan, subsequent floods, and ongoing demands for financial compensation, I demonstrate that disjuncture are evident in cases where collective action seeks to address complex and multilayered loss faced by individuals and communities that are displaced and dispossessed due to the construction of mega-development projects. The research uses data collected through interviews, participant observation, and documentary archives collected between 2012 and 2015. My study shows mobilization can occur even when some underlying grievances are addressed, and the manner in which institutionalized power pre-configures movement demands.

description: Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are innovative nanomaterials (NMs) with a typical nanoclay structure (height <40 nm) consisting of layers of metallic cations and hydroxides stabilized by anions and water molecules. Upon specific triggers, anions can exchange by others in the surrounding environment. Due to this stimuli-responsive behavior, LDHs are used as carriers of active ingredients in the industrial or pharmaceutical sectors. Available technical guidelines to evaluate the ecotoxicity of conventional substances do not account for the specificities of NMs, leading to inaccuracies and uncertainty. The present study aimed to assess two different exposure methodologies (serial dilutions of the stock dispersion vs. direct addition of NM powder to each concentration) on the ecotoxicological profile of different powder grain sizes of Zn–Al LDH-NO3 and Cu–Al LDH-NO3 (bulk, <25, 25–63, 63–125, 125–250, and >250 µm) in the growth of the freshwater microalgae Raphidocelis subcapitata. Results revealed that the serial dilutions methodology was preferable for Zn–Al LDH-NO3, whereas for Cu–Al LDH-NO3 both methodologies were suitable. Thus, the serial dilutions methodology was selected to assess the ecotoxicity of different grain sizes for both LDHs. All Zn–Al LDH-NO3 grain sizes yielded similar toxicity, while Cu–Al LDH-NO3 powders with smaller grain sizes caused a higher effect on microalgae growth; thus, grain size separation might be advantageous for future applications of Cu–Al LDH-NO3s. Considering the differences between exposure methodologies for the Zn–Al LDH-NO3, further research involving other NMs and species must be carried out to achieve harmonization and validation for inter-laboratory comparison.

description: The Isometric Fluctuation Relation (IFR) [P.I. Hurtado et al., PNAS 108, 7704 (2011)] relates the relative probability of current fluctuations of fixed magnitude in different spatial directions. We test its validity in an experiment on a tapered rod, rendered motile by vertical vibration and immersed in a sea of spherical beads. We analyse the statistics of the velocity vector of the rod and show that they depart significantly from the IFR of Hurtado et al. Aided by a Langevin-equation model we show that our measurements are largely described by an anisotropic generalization of the IFR [R. Villavicencio et al., EPL 105, 30009 (2014)], with no fitting parameters, but with a discrepancy in the prefactor whose origin may lie in the detailed statistics of the microscopic noise. The experimentally determined Large-Deviation Function of the velocity vector has a kink on a curve in the plane.

description: A possibility of formation of the three reaction products having comparable masses at the spontaneous fission of $^{252}$Cf is theoretically explored. This work is aimed to study the mechanism leading to observation of the reaction products with masses $M_1=$136---140 and $M_2=$68---72 in coincidence by the FOBOS group in JINR. The same type of ternary fission decay has been observed in the reaction $^{235}$U(n$_{\rm th}$,fff). The potential energy surface for the ternary system forming a collinear nuclear chain is calculated for the wide range of mass and charge numbers of constituent nuclei. The results of the PES for the tripartition of $^{252}$Cf(sf,fff) shows, that we have favorable dynamical conditions for the formation of fragments with mass combinations of clusters $^{68-70}$Ni with $^{130-132}$Sn and with missing cluster $^{48-52}$Ca.

The first dental visit: knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of North Carolina dentists regarding physician referral guidelines
Creators: name: Long, C. Marshall

description: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to (1) assess the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of North Carolina (NC) dentists regarding infant and toddler dental referral guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and (2) to determine factors among this population that influence embracement of these guidelines. One thousand general dentists in NC were randomly selected to participate. The primary outcome variable was acceptance of children referred for the age one dental visit, therefore allowing physicians to comply with referral guidelines. Significant predictors of referral acceptance included correct knowledge about the guideline (OR = 2.0, 95%CI 1.2-3.3), increased confidence in providing preventive care to infants and toddlers (OR = 2.6, 95%CI 1.3 - 4.9), and agreement that parents see importance in dental referrals (OR = 2.1, 95%CI 1.2-3.6). This study identifies factors that influence acceptance of physician referrals for the age one dental visit among NC dentists, that can lead to development of interventions to maximize availability of a dental home for young children.
In vivo regulation of autoreactive B cells by IL-6, CD40L and TNFα

description: Polyclonal B cell activation is essential to an effective innate immune response. However, autoreactive B cells must not be included in the polyclonal response to avoid autoimmunity. We have shown that IL-6 and CD40L secreted by TLR-stimulated dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages (MΦs) selectively repress LPS-induced Ig secretion by autoreactive B cells. Here we introduce a third soluble factor involved in DC/MΦ-mediated B cell repression, TNFα. Like IL-6 and CD40L, DCs and MΦs derived from lupus-prone MRL/lpr mice secrete less TNFα in response to TLR stimulation than DCs and MΦs from C57BL/6 mice, suggesting secretion of TNFα by DCs/MΦs may have a role in autoimmune disease. We further demonstrate in an in vivo model that IL-6, CD40L and TNFα regulate LPS-stimulated autoreactive B cells, while mice lacking these factors do not. Our data indicate that IL-6, CD40L and TNFα mediate in vitro and in vivo autoreactive B cell repression during innate immune responses.

description: Netball is a physical game with sudden direction changes, decelerations, jumping and landing, stop/start maneuvers and restrictive footwork rules exposing players to injury. Close contact play and shared facilities during tournaments, increase illness risk. Objective: To describe incidence, period prevalence, types and severity of injuries and illnesses during the 10-day Vitality Netball World Cup 2019 (NWC). Methods: All players from 16 teams consented (n = 192). Medical staff recorded injuries (840 exposure hours), illnesses (1440 player-days) and time-loss. Main outcome measures included incidence (I) calculated as injury/1000 player-hours and illness/1000 player-days, period prevalence (PP) and severity (time-loss) of all match injuries and illnesses. 39 players sustained 46 match injuries (I = 54.76; PP = 20.31%). Lower limb injuries (I = 29.76), specifically the ankle (I = 13.10) were most common with lateral ankle ligament sprains the highest (I = 17.39). Contact injuries (I = 40.48) significantly exceeded non-contact injuries (I = 14.29; p = 0.0124). Center players sustained most injuries (n = 12; 26%; I = 14.29), followed by goalkeepers (n = 10; 22%; I = 11.90) and goal defenders (n = 8; 17%; I = 9.52). Injuries occurred in almost 50% of matches, and 67% did not result in time-loss. Time-loss injuries (n = 14; 33%) were most frequent in the lower limb (n = 10; 71%) specifically involved lateral ankle ligaments (n = 4; 29%), attributable to contact (n = 11; 79%) and mostly implicated center players and goal defenders (n = 4 each; 29% each). 11 players contracted 11 illnesses (I = 7.64; PP = 5.72%) with respiratory tract illness contributing 36%. Most illnesses did not result in time-loss (91%). This is the first study reporting injury and illness during an NWC. Contact was the main mechanism of injury, and 2/3 of injuries did not result in time-loss. The ankle is most commonly injured and center players sustain most injuries. Non-respiratory system disease was most frequent, but upper respiratory tract infection remains the most common diagnosis. Targeted surveillance studies using similar methodology are required to develop injury and illness preventative strategies in elite netball.
