description: Using a fully automated cryogenic wafer prober, we measured superconductor fabrication process control monitors and simple integrated circuits on 200 mm wafers at 4.4 K, including SQIF-based magnetic field sensors, SQUID-based circuits for measuring inductors, Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb Josephson junctions, test structures for measuring critical current of superconducting wires and vias, resistors, etc., to demonstrate the feasibility of using the system for characterizing niobium superconducting devices and integrated circuits on a wafer scale. Data on the wafer-scale distributions of the residual magnetic field, junction tunnel resistance, energy gap, inductance of multiple Nb layers, critical currents of interlayer vias are presented. Comparison with existing models is made. The wafers were fabricated in the SFQ5ee process, the fully planarized process with eight niobium layers and a layer of kinetic inductors, developed for superconductor electronics at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. The cryogenic wafer prober was developed at HPD/ FormFactor, Inc.

description: Background The Domus study, a randomized controlled trial (RCT), evaluated the effect of home-based specialized palliative care (SPC) reinforced with a psychological intervention for the patient-caregiver dyad on increasing advanced cancer patients’ time spent at home, as opposed to hospitalized, and the number of home deaths. As palliative care extends to include support for patients’ families and may thus assist caregivers and decrease demands on them, in this study we evaluated a secondary outcome, caregiver burden. Material and Methods Patients with incurable cancer and their caregivers were randomized (1:1) to care as usual or home-based SPC. Caregiver burden was assessed using the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) at baseline and 2, 4, 8 weeks and 6 months after randomization. Intervention effects were assessed in mixed effects models. Results A total of 258 caregivers were enrolled. Eleven per cent of informal caregivers experienced severe caregiver burden at baseline. Caregiver burden increased significantly over time in both groups (p = 0.0003), but no significant effect of the intervention was seen on overall caregiver burden (p = 0.5046) or burden subscales measuring role and personal strain. Conclusion In line with the majority of previous RCTs, the Domus intervention was not able to significantly reduce caregiver burden. Future interventions should consider targeting only caregivers reporting the greatest caregiver burden.

description: We revisit inclusive J/psi and Upsilon photoproduction at lepton-hadron colliders, namely in the limit when the exchanged photon is quasi real. Our computation includes the next-to-leading-order (NLO) alpha_s corrections to the leading-order contributions in v. Similarly to the case of NLO charmonium-hadroproduction processes, the resulting cross sections obtained in the MS-bar factorisation scheme are sometimes found to be negative. We show that the scale-fixing criteria which we derived in a previous study of eta(c) production successfully solves this problem from the EicC all the way up to the FCC-eh energies. We then elaborate on how to study a scale uncertainty akin to that derived by scale variations when one fixes a scale. In turn, we investigate where both J/psi and Upsilon photoproduction could be used to improve our knowledge of gluon content of the proton at scales as low as a couple of GeV.

Mitigating Burn Pain through Nursing Care: Are we doing our part?
Creators: name: Osborne, Tyler
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020
Subjects: Procedural pain management with burn care

description: The pain of burn injuries and the pain associated with burn wound care is considered to be among the most intense pain a human can suffer.  The literature provides little information on the nature of the pain itself and successful methods to mitigate it.  Nurses are the main providers of burn wound care and yet most of the current practices that nurses use are based more in tradition than on empirical evidence.  The aim of this project is to examine the current literature, identify current practices, discuss new treatments that are currently under investigation, and explore the possibility of a local Burn ICU adopting new practice(s).  The goal is to recommend how nurses might assume greater leadership in adopting new methods for burn wound care.

description: The dynamics of Markovian open quantum systems are described by Lindblad master equations. For fermionic and bosonic systems that are quasi-free, i.e., with Hamiltonians that are quadratic in the ladder operators and Lindblad operators that are linear in the ladder operators, we derive the equation of motion for the covariance matrix. This determines the evolution of Gaussian initial states and the steady states, which are also Gaussian. Using ladder super-operators (a.k.a. third quantization), we show how the Liouvillian can be transformed to a many-body Jordan normal form which also reveals the full many-body spectrum. Extending previous work by Prosen and Seligman, we treat fermionic and bosonic systems on equal footing with Majorana operators, shorten and complete some derivations, also address the odd-parity sector for fermions, give a criterion for the existence of bosonic steady states, cover non-diagonalizable Liouvillians also for bosons, and include quadratic systems. In extension of the quasi-free open systems, quadratic open systems comprise additional Hermitian Lindblad operators that are quadratic in the ladder operators. While Gaussian states may then evolve into non-Gaussian states, the Liouvillian can still be transformed to a useful block-triangular form, and the equations of motion for $k$-point Green's functions form a closed hierarchy. Based on this formalism, results on criticality and dissipative phase transitions in such models are discussed in a companion paper [arXiv:2204.05346].

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), More Than Just Picky Eating: A Case Discussion and Literature Review
Creators: name: Davis, Emily
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The purpose of this manuscript is to define Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and outline the current treatment modalities and nursing implications while also highlighting the importance of increasing education on this disorder for the general public. A specific case discussion is also included that showcases the daily struggles of a pediatric subject with ARFID that include bullying, self-doubt, and anxiety related to eating. An extensive literature review is included that was performed utilizing various search engines to gather information on the definition of ARFID, its prevalence, and the treatment modalities currently available. 
ARFID is a type of eating disorder that is characterized by a person having a fear of certain foods in the absence of body image issues. ARFID was added to the DSM-V, the classification system of mental disorders, just seven years ago and is a relatively rare diagnosis. The treatment modalities for ARFID discovered thus far include pharmaceutical methods and various types of therapy for both the patient and their family members. Nursing implications include increasing awareness of this disorder and advocating for proper treatments for patients with ARFID not only in a clinical setting, but also at their homes and in schools. As there is presently not a great deal of literature on ARFID, it is evident that there is a need for increased awareness of the disorder in order to enhance the research on treatment modalities for the disorder and to, most importantly, increase the quality of life for those with the disorder and their family members.
Another pedagogy for pure-integer Gomory

description: We present pure-integer Gomory cuts in a way so that they are derived with respect to a "dual form" pure-integer optimization problem and applied on the standard-form primal side as columns, using the primal simplex algorithm. The input integer problem is not in standard form, and so the cuts are derived a bit differently. In this manner, we obtain a finitely-terminating version of pure-integer Gomory cuts that employs the primal rather than the dual simplex algorithm.

description: The beetle family Ptilodactylidae is recorded for the first time from Rovno amber, Ukraine. Ptilodactyla odnosum Telnov, Perkovsky, Kundrata and Bukejs sp. nov. and a male of P. eocenica Kundrata, Bukejs and Blank, 2021 are described and illustrated using X-ray micro-computed tomography. Our discoveries of two species in Rovno amber together with recently published findings in Baltic amber and Bembridge Marls suggest that ptilodactylids were rather diverse in Eocene Europe. Identification key to Ptilodactylidae described from European Eocene ambers is provided, and relationships of the Baltic and Rovno amber coleopterofaunas are briefly discussed.

description: Data are presented on mutual and self-inductance of various inductors used in multilayered superconductor integrated circuits: microstrips and striplines with widths of signal traces from 250 nm to a few micrometers, located on the same circuit layer at various distances from each other (from 250 nm to a few micrometers) and/or on different layers spaced vertically; effect of long slits in the ground plane(s) along the inductors on their mutual inductance; inductance of right-angled bends; inductance of meanders. Simple analytical expressions for mutual and self-inductance of the basic inductors are given, describing experimental data with accuracy better than 2% in a very wide range of parameters. They can be used for superconductor integrated circuit design and calibration of numerical inductance extractors. Measurements were done using circuits fabricated in fully planarized fabrication processes with eight niobium layers and Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb Josephson junctions, known as the SFQ5ee and SC1 processes developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory for superconductor electronics. Mutual inductance decreases exponentially with distance between striplines and as a second power of the distance between microstrips, strongly depends on magnetic field penetration depths in superconducting ground planes, whereas superconducting properties of the signal traces are practically immaterial. Weak dependence of mutual inductance on the linewidth of superconducting wires indicates that area of superconducting flux transformers - the essential component of all digital circuits using ac power, superconducting qubits, and sensor arrays - scales poorly with the linewidth, putting a predictable upper limit on the integration scale of such circuits.

description: The van der Waals (VDW) equation of state predicts the existence of a first-order liquid-gas phase transition and contains a critical point. The VDW equation with Fermi statistics is applied to a description of the nuclear matter. The nucleon number fluctuations near the critical point of nuclear matter are studied. The scaled variance, skewness, and kurtosis diverge at the critical point. It is found that the crossover region of the phase diagram is characterized by the large values of the scaled variance, the almost zero skewness, and the significantly negative kurtosis. The rich structures of the skewness and kurtosis are observed in the phase diagram in the wide region around the critical point, namely, they both may attain large positive or negative values.

description: We adopt Bayesian approach to consider the inverse problem of estimate a function from noisy observations. One important component of this approach is the prior measure. Total variation prior has been proved with no discretization invariant property, so Besov prior has been proposed recently. Different prior measures usually connect to different regularization terms. Variable index TV, variable index Besov regularization terms have been proposed in image analysis, however, there are no such prior measure in Bayesian theory. So in this paper, we propose a variable index Besov prior measure which is a Non-Guassian measure. Based on the variable index Besov prior measure, we build the Bayesian inverse theory. Then applying our theory to integer and fractional order backward diffusion problems. Although there are many researches about fractional order backward diffusion problems, we firstly apply Bayesian inverse theory to this problem which provide an opportunity to quantify the uncertainties for this problem.

The Destiny of the Slave States? The Southern Debate Over Reopening the Transatlantic Slave Trade, 1853-1861
Creators: name: Gauch, Kevin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The United States outlawed the transatlantic slave trade in 1808, a decision widely supported at the time in the North and the South. Yet, from 1853 to 1861, a significant number of Southerners argued for a revival of the trade, which many other Southerners opposed. The trade was debated across the South in Congress, state legislatures, church and commercial conventions, and in the pages of newspapers and magazines. After fifty years of consensus that the slave trade was wrong, why did so many Southerners begin agitating for its revival? And how could other Southerners oppose the trade while still supporting slavery? This thesis finds that supporters fell into three rough groups: ideologues who thought slave society to be in crisis and saw the trade as the solution, symbolists who were using the trade purely as a symbol to rally sectional sentiment, and pragmatists who simply wanted more slaves at lower prices. Opponents fell into two groups: pragmatists who raised practical concerns about the trade, and moralists who condemned the trade as wrong, even as they praised slavery. These groups’ differing arguments and motivations provide insight into how white Southerners viewed and justified slavery. Furthermore, this debate highlights the contradictions of Southern society that resulted from the disconnect between the idealization and the reality of slavery.

description: The emerging instability of a forced throughflow in a fluid saturated horizontal porous duct of rectangular cross section is investigated. The duct is heated from below by assuming the horizontal boundaries to be at different temperatures. Both the horizontal and the vertical boundaries are impermeable and the basic flow is parallel to such boundaries. The porous medium is anisotropic with different permeabilities in the vertical and horizontal directions. The effect of the anisotropy on the onset of the buoyancy driven modal instability and absolute instability is analysed. The parametric conditions leading to the instability of the basic flow are determined by employing an analytical dispersion relation. The different permeabilities in the vertical and horizontal directions come out to play opposite roles in the onset of modal instability and in the transition to absolute instability. It is shown that an increasing vertical permeability has a destabilising effect, while an increasing horizontal permeability has a stabilising effect.

The Challenges of Transitioning from Pediatric to Adult Healthcare for People Living with Cerebral Palsy: A Systematic Qualitative Review
Creators: name: Hunt, Sarah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Cerebral palsy is often considered a “childhood condition”. However, the majority of individuals living with cerebral palsy now live into adulthood. Healthcare services and systems are lacking for this population, as they often cater to children living with cerebral palsy. Therefore, many people become “lost” between pediatric and adult providers. The purpose of this qualitative systematic review is to understand the perspectives of adults with cerebral palsy, as well as their caregivers, regarding the challenges of transitioning from pediatric health care services to adult health care services. This study was conducted through a review of the literature from CINAHL and PubMed. The Chronic Care Model was used as a guide for the extraction of themes and the project is blended with my own personal experience of living with cerebral palsy. Nine articles were included in the literature matrix. The goal of this review is to better understand the needs of adults living with cerebral palsy, as well as their caregivers through the extraction of themes and to make recommendations on how to improve healthcare for those living with cerebral palsy, as well as other childhood conditions.

An interferometric technique using an attosecond pulse train, i.e. a frequency comb in the extreme ultraviolet range, and a weak infrared probe field allows us to study both amplitude and phase of the photoionization probability amplitude as a function of photon energy. A theoretical calculation of the ionization process accounting for several continuum channels and bandwidth effects reproduces well the experimental observations and shows that the phase variation of the resonant two-photon amplitude depends on the interaction between the channels involved in the autoionization process.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The main purpose of this study was to assess the practices of implementation of active learning approaches in Wolita Sodo University Health Sciences College. To meet the objective of the study, a convergent parallel mixed design was employed. Lottery method was used to select the department of public health officer, from which students were sampled. The academic director of the college, 21 preclinical teachers and all 81 students from the second batch of department of public health officer were selected using availability sampling technique. Quantitative data were collected from all students and teachers using structured and pretested questionnaire. The academic director and selected teachers were interviewed using interview guide. Data analysis was done in three phases. First, analysis of the quantitative data was done in SPSS Version 20 and percentages, means and frequencies were used. Second, qualitative data was analyzed considering the research questions, using framework coding which is a deductive approach. Finally, quantitative and qualitative results were merged. Almost all instructors and students had a positive perception of active learning. Teachers are practicing active learning sometimes but the level of their practice was not satisfactory. Lecture was found to be the most commonly employed teaching technique followed by individual assignments, group work/discussion and question and answer methods. Shortage of time, large amount of contents to be covered during one classroom and lecturers and students tendency towards the traditional lecture method were found to be the most serious factors among the problems that affects the practice of active learning negatively. It has been recommended that teachers should be committed to discharge their roles to exercise active learning methodologies. Additionally, to improve the level of implementation of active learning, the administration of the college should continuously identify and solve those problems by developing a working group in coordination with teachers, students and other stakeholders.

description: We study the eigenvalue behaviour of large complex correlated Wishart matrices near an interior point of the limiting spectrum where the density vanishes (cusp point), and refine the existing results at the hard edge as well. More precisely, under mild assumptions for the population covariance matrix, we show that the limiting density vanishes at generic cusp points like a cube root, and that the local eigenvalue behaviour is described by means of the Pearcey kernel if an extra decay assumption is satisfied. As for the hard edge, we show that the density blows up like an inverse square root at the origin. Moreover, we provide an explicit formula for the $1/N$ correction term for the fluctuation of the smallest random eigenvalue.

We have prescribed the bounds of the model parameters $ k $ and $ p_0 $ on the basis of the elementary criteria for physical acceptability, viz., regularity, stability and energy conditions. By taking the values of model parameters from the prescribed bounds, we have shown that our model is compatible with the observational data of a wide variety of compact stars like 4U 1820-30, PSR J1903+327, 4U 1608-52, Vela X-1, PSR J1614-2230, SMC X-4 and Cen X-3.

Impact of N69 glycosylation site of premembrane protein on viral fitness in dengue virus
Creators: name: Dong, Stephanie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Dengue virus (DENV) is a vector-borne, single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus with four distinct serotypes (DENV1-4). The four serotypes of DENV cause about 390 million human infections each year. The maturation of DENV during viral replication affects infectivity and antibody neutralization of the virus. The premembrane (prM) protein composition and the cleavage of the prM protein are determinants of DENV maturation. Across all four serotypes, the prM region is highly conserved. In particular, an N-linked glycosylation site that is located at the prM-N69 amino acid position is conserved across all but two strains of complete genomes provided by the Virus Pathogen Resource (ViPR) database. DENV prM glycosylation has not been extensively studied and there is no known function of the prM-N69 glycosylation site. To investigate the impact of N69 glycosylation of the prM protein, we generated three DENV mutants with loss-of-N69 glycosylation mutations. Subsequently, we derived four more DENV constructs from the previous three mutants with loss-of-N69-glycosylation mutations and a new gain-of-glycosylation mutation at a site proximally near the prM-N69 region. Our results demonstrate no sign of viral production in any of the loss-of-N69-glycosylation constructs. In contrast, we show widespread signs of viral production in one construct, DENV4∆ADD2 (a glycosylation moving mutant). Our result suggests 1) the N69 glycosylation is critical for viral fitness and 2) glycan presence is sufficient for viral fitness. By understanding the importance of the DENV structures like pRM, we’ll be more informed for designing effective DENV vaccines for the future.

description: The Heavy Photon Search experiment (HPS) at Jefferson Laboratory will search for a new $U(1)$ massive gauge boson, or "heavy-photon," mediator of a new fundamental interaction, called "dark-force," that couples to ordinary photons trough kinetic mixing. HPS has sensitivity in the mass range 20 MeV - 1 GeV and coupling $\varepsilon^2$ between 10$^{-5}$ and 10$^{-10}$. The HPS experiment will search for the $e^+e^-$ decay of the heavy photon, by resonance search and detached vertexing, in an electron beam fixed target experiment. HPS will use a compact forward spectrometer, which employs silicon microstrip detectors for vertexing and tracking, and a PbWO$_4$ electromagnetic calorimeter for energy measurement and fast triggering.

description: We study the time evolution of two coupled many-body quantum systems one of which is assumed to be Bose condensed. Specifically, we consider two ultracold atomic clouds populating each two localized single-particle states, i.e. a two-component Bosonic Josephson junction. The cold atoms cloud can retain its coherence when coupled to the condensate and displays synchronization with the latter, differing from usual entrainment. We term this effect among the ultracold and the condensed clouds as {\it hybrid synchronization}. The onset of synchronization, which we observe in the evolution of average properties of both gases when increasing their coupling, is found to be related to the many-body properties of the quantum gas, e.g. condensed fraction, quantum fluctuations of the particle number differences. We discuss the effects of different initial preparations, the influence of unequal particle numbers for the two clouds, and explore the dependence on the initial quantum state, e.g. coherent state, squeezed state and Fock state, finding essentially the same phenomenology in all cases.

description: Since their announcement in November 2020, COVID-19 vaccines were largely debated by the press and social media. With most studies focusing on COVID-19 disinformation in social media, little attention has been paid to how mainstream news outlets framed COVID-19 narratives compared to alternative sources. To fill this gap, we use cognitive network science and natural language processing to reconstruct time-evolving semantic and emotional frames of 5745 Italian news, that were massively re-shared on Facebook and Twitter, about COVID-19 vaccines. We found consistently high levels of trust/anticipation and less disgust in the way mainstream sources framed the general idea of "vaccine/vaccino". These emotions were crucially missing in the ways alternative sources framed COVID-19 vaccines. More differences were found within specific instances of vaccines. Alternative news included titles framing the AstraZeneca vaccine with strong levels of sadness, absent in mainstream titles. Mainstream news initially framed "Pfizer" along more negative associations with side effects than "AstraZeneca". With the temporary suspension of the latter, on March 15th 2021, we identified a semantic/emotional shift: Even mainstream article titles framed "AstraZeneca" as semantically richer in negative associations with side effects, while "Pfizer" underwent a positive shift in valence, mostly related to its higher efficacy. "Thrombosis" entered the frame of vaccines together with fearful conceptual associations, while "death" underwent an emotional shift, steering towards fear in alternative titles and losing its hopeful connotation in mainstream titles. Our findings expose crucial aspects of the emotional narratives around COVID-19 vaccines adopted by the press, highlighting the need to understand how alternative and mainstream media report vaccination news.

description: A potential objective of every financial organization is to retain existing customers and attain new prospective customers for long-term. The economic behaviour of customer and the nature of the organization are controlled by a prescribed form called Know Your Customer (KYC) in manual banking. Depositor customers in some sectors (business of Jewellery/Gold, Arms, Money exchanger etc) are with high risk; whereas in some sectors (Transport Operators, Auto-delear, religious) are with medium risk; and in remaining sectors (Retail, Corporate, Service, Farmer etc) belongs to low risk. Presently, credit risk for counterparty can be broadly categorized under quantitative and qualitative factors. Although there are many existing systems on customer retention as well as customer attrition systems in bank, these rigorous methods suffers clear and defined approach to disburse loan in business sector. In the paper, we have used records of business customers of a retail commercial bank in the city including rural and urban area of (Tangail city) Bangladesh to analyse the major transactional determinants of customers and predicting of a model for prospective sectors in retail bank. To achieve this, data mining approach is adopted for analysing the challenging issues, where pruned decision tree classification technique has been used to develop the model and finally tested its performance with Weka result. Moreover, this paper attempts to build up a model to predict prospective business sectors in retail banking.

description: The field equations of modified gravity theories, when considering a homogeneous and isotropic cosmological model, always become autonomous differential equations. This relies on the fact that in such models all variables only depend on cosmological time, or another suitably chosen time parameter. Consequently, the field equations can always be cast into the form of a dynamical system, a successful approach to study such models. We propose a perspective that is applicable to many different modified gravity models and relies on the standard cosmological density parameters only, making our choice of variables model independent. The drawback of our approach is a more complicated constraint equation. We demonstrate our procedure studying various modified gravity models and show how much generic information can be extracted before a specific model is considered.

The Effects of Childhood Abuse and Neglect on Prenatal and Postnatal Depression Symptoms among First-Time Mothers
Creators: name: Chinonye Eze

description: Child maltreatment is associated with many adverse effects including the development of depression. In this study, I want to shed light specifically on the lasting effects of childhood maltreatment on prenatal and postnatal depressive symptom development in first-time mothers. Also, I want to examine whether the associations between childhood maltreatment experiences and prenatal/postnatal depression symptoms vary as a function of depression histories (“current '' depression, “past” depression, or “never” had depression). I hypothesize that having a history of childhood maltreatment positively predicts prenatal depressive symptoms and their effects are enhanced if mothers are diagnosed with current or prior depression. Secondly, I hypothesize that the increases from prenatal to postnatal depressive symptoms will be positively related to having a history of childhood maltreatment and that association will be strongest for mothers diagnosed with current or prior depression. This research is a passive longitudinal study of women recruited while pregnant and followed from the third trimester of pregnancy through 12-months post-partum. Data from this study was compiled from a sample size of 222 pregnant mothers. Based on the results, the hypotheses were partially supported. There was evidence that supports childhood trauma history and clinical depression history as predictors of prenatal depression scores. However, there were is little evidence to support the second hypothesis. These findings illustrate that neither childhood trauma history nor depression history significantly predicts postnatal depression scores.

description: Using the authors' 2014 "constraints method," we give a short proof for a 2015 result of Dobbins on representations of a point in a polytope as the barycenter of points in a skeleton, and show that the "r-fold Whitney trick" of Mabillard and Wagner (2014/2015) implies that the Topological Tverberg Conjecture for r-fold intersections fails dramatically for all r that are not prime powers.

description: We introduce Concurrent NetKAT (CNetKAT), an extension of NetKAT with operators for specifying and reasoning about concurrency in scenarios where multiple packets interact through state. We provide a model of the language based on partially-ordered multisets (pomsets), which are a well-established mathematical structure for defining the denotational semantics of concurrent languages. We provide a sound and complete axiomatization of this model, and we illustrate the use of CNetKAT through examples. More generally, CNetKAT can be understood as an algebraic framework for reasoning about programs with both local state (in packets) and global state (in a global store).
Quantum theory allows for absolute maximal contextuality

description: Contextuality is a fundamental feature of quantum theory and a necessary resource for quantum computation and communication. It is therefore important to investigate how large contextuality can be in quantum theory. Linear contextuality witnesses can be expressed as a sum $S$ of $n$ probabilities, and the independence number $α$ and the Tsirelson-like number $\vartheta$ of the corresponding exclusivity graph are, respectively, the maximum of $S$ for noncontextual theories and for the theory under consideration. A theory allows for absolute maximal contextuality if it has scenarios in which $\vartheta/α$ approaches $n$. Here we show that quantum theory allows for absolute maximal contextuality despite what is suggested by the examination of the quantum violations of Bell and noncontextuality inequalities considered in the past. Our proof is not constructive and does not single out explicit scenarios. Nevertheless, we identify scenarios in which quantum theory allows for almost absolute maximal contextuality.

The Middle-Income Trap: A Look at Total Factor Productivity and the Role of Income Inequality
Creators: name: Moore, Kathleen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The middle-income trap is a recent concept explored in economics. However, the literature has focused on the slowdown of growth in income per capita for middle-income countries. This paper however seeks to examine the middle-income trap with respect to total factor productivity slowdowns and ascertain the causes of said slowdowns, paying special attention to the role, if any, of income inequality. We find that middle-income countries do disproportionately experience more slowdowns than low- or high- income countries. However, the probit regression results show that income inequality has the perverse effect of decreasing the likelihood of slowdowns. These results are robust when we add indicators classifying countries as low-, middle-, and high-income countries.
