title: Hardiness and Sensation Seeking as Potential Moderating Variables in the Stress-Illness Relationship

publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR
Year: 1995

description: One hundred and fifteen undergraduate psychology students participated in a study designed primarily to investigate the personality styles characterized by "hardiness" and "sensation seeking" as potential moderators in the stress illness relationship. Subjects completed inventories measuring life-event stress, perceived stress, and illness experienced during the previous year, as well as questionnaires measuring hardiness, sensation seeking, and maladjustment. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships between life-event stress and illness and perceived stress and illness as well as a significant negative relationship between hardiness and maladjustment.

Multiple regression analyses showed that life-event stress, perceived stress, and the two measures used together significantly predicted illness. Life-event stress and perceived stress used together, however, accounted for more variance in illness scores than did either measure alone. Life-event stress and perceived stress were not significantly correlated with one another, and appeared to measure independent constructs.

Improving Nurses’ Pain Management in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)
Creators: name: Madenski, Amelia D.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

Pain after surgery is distressing to patients and is a significant problem in post anesthesia care unit (PACU). Ineffective pain management in the immediate postoperative period can prolong the patient’s length of stay in the PACU which may lead to increased cost of care. The nurses’ lack of knowledge regarding pain management and ineffective team communication are barriers to effective pain management. An educational intervention based on the Knowledge- to-Action Model was implemented to 22 nurses in the recovery room at an urban hospital. A one group pre-test and post-test measure design was used to evaluate educational program. The data was examined in each participant using a paired sample t-test. Educational interventions that target nurses’ knowledge on pain and standardized communication techniques had proven to be effective as management in the PACU (as evidenced by post-test score improvement).

description: What correlations are present in the ground state of a many-body Hamiltonian? We study the relationship between ground-state correlations, especially entanglement, and the energy gap between the ground and first excited states. We prove several general inequalities which show quantitatively that ground-state correlations between systems not directly coupled by the Hamiltonian necessarily imply a small energy gap.

description: Using a soft pion theorem based on chiral symmetry and a $Δ(1232)$ resonance model we propose an estimate for the production cross section of low energy pions in the deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) process. In particular, we express the $e p \to e γπN$ processes in terms of generalized parton distributions. We provide estimates of the contamination of the $e p \to e γp$ DVCS observables due to this associated pion production processes when the experimental data are not fully exclusive, for a set of kinematical conditions representative of present or planned experiments at JLab, HERMES and COMPASS.

description: Whether the spiral structure of galaxies is trailing or leading has been a subject of debate. We present a new spin parity catalog of 146 spiral galaxies that lists the following three pieces of information: whether the spiral structure observed on the sky is S-wise or Z-wise; which side of the minor axis of the galaxy is darker and redder, based on examination of Pan-STARRS and/or ESO/DSS2 red image archives, and which side of the major axis of the galaxy is approaching to us based on the published literature. This paper confirms that all of the spiral galaxies in the catalog show a consistent relationship among these three parameters, without any confirmed counterexamples, that supports the generally accepted interpretation that all the spiral galaxies are trailing and that the darker/redder side of the galactic disk is closer to us. Although the results of this paper may not be surprising, they provide a rationale for analyzing the S/Z winding distribution of spiral galaxies, using the large and uniform image data bases available now and in the near future, to study the spin vorticity distribution of galaxies in order to constrain the formation scenarios of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the Universe.

Improving the Transition of Care from the Hospital to Primary Care Providers  for Patients with Heart Failure
Creators: name: Blake, John
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

The goal of this quality improvement project was to enhance the transition of care from the hospital to primary care providers for patients with heart failure at one acute care hospital in Tampa, Florida.  A literature review revealed that discharge summaries have a pivotal communication role in the transition of care. Consequently, the electronically recorded discharge summaries relating to a random sample of 60 patients discharged from this hospital were audited for a trial period of six months (three months before and three months after an intervention by the DNP candidate to encourage the attending physicians to improve the transition of care.)  The following data were collected:  (a) the extent to which the discharge summaries complied with the components mandated by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (Standard IM.6.10, EP 7); (b) the extent to which six specified outcome indicators reflecting a high level of transition of care were implemented; and (c) the relative rates of hospital readmission within 30 days after discharge.   The readmission rates were reduced by 10% after the intervention. The discharge summaries complied with all the standard components, but were deficient with respect to one indicator.  A shortage of clinical pharmacists was associated with more than 10% of the patients not receiving medication reconciliation within 24-48 hours after discharge. Consequently, recommendations are made to expedite the process of medication reconciliation.

description: Kleene algebra with tests is an extension of Kleene algebra, the algebra of regular expressions, which can be used to reason about programs. We develop a coalgebraic theory of Kleene algebra with tests, along the lines of the coalgebraic theory of regular expressions based on deterministic automata. Since the known automata-theoretic presentation of Kleene algebra with tests does not lend itself to a coalgebraic theory, we define a new interpretation of Kleene algebra with tests expressions and a corresponding automata-theoretic presentation. One outcome of the theory is a coinductive proof principle, that can be used to establish equivalence of our Kleene algebra with tests expressions.

COPD Dyspnea Palliation Project: Dyspnea Palliation in End-Stage COPD Patients
Creators: name: Roy, Kaveri M
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

Chronic Pulmonary Obstructive Disease (COPD) is a chronic and incurable disease that affects over 12 million Americans. The number of people with COPD is rising, and it is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Management and palliation of COPD symptoms has become a public health issue. The capstone project, the COPD Palliation Project, was a pilot study that combined nursing case management and patient education to provide optimal patient dyspnea palliation and self-efficacy of dyspnea management to end-stage COPD hospice patients. For the intervention, end-stage COPD patients were taught to use a dyspnea algorithm to palliate increasing levels of dyspnea, with weekly follow up for four weeks. Patient dyspnea and efficacy were the outcome measures monitored pre and post-intervention. The study findings showed that there was improvement in the percent of patients who scored in less than “2” in the modified Borg scale from 55% to 75% after the intervention. However, there was no improvement in the percent outcome of patients’ efficacy. Improvement in dyspnea scores may be attributed to use of the dyspnea protocol and follow up case management and education. The fact that patient efficacy scores did not improve can be largely attributed to the patients’ terminally ill, end-stage hospice status. Major limitations of the project were: lack of study population viability, limited time to implement the study, staff investment and patient discomfort in using morphine. Further research in combining dyspnea protocols with case management techniques in COPD dyspnea palliation is warranted.
High Resolution Calculations of Merging Neutron Stars II: Neutrino Emission

description: The remnant resulting from the merger of two neutron stars produces neutrinos in copious amounts. In this paper we present the neutrino emission results obtained via Newtonian, high-resolution simulations of the coalescence event. These simulations use three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics together with a nuclear, temperature dependent equation of state and a multi-flavour neutrino leakage scheme. We present the details of our scheme, discuss the neutrino emission results from a neutron star coalescence and compare them to the core-collapse supernova case where neutrino emission has been studied for several decades. The average neutrino energies are similar to those in the supernova case, but contrary to the latter, the luminosities are dominated by electron-type antineutrinos which are produced in the hot, neutron-rich, thick disk of the merger remnant. The cooler parts of this disk contain substantial fractions of heavy nuclei, which, however, do not influence the overall neutrino emission results significantly. Our total neutrino luminosities from the merger event are considerably lower than those found in previous investigations. This has serious consequences for the ability to produce a gamma-ray burst via neutrino annihilation. The neutrinos are emitted preferentially along the initial binary rotation axis, an event seen ``pole-on'' would appear much brighter in neutrinos than a similar event seen ``edge-on''.

description: Standard & Poor’s Goldman Sachs Commodity Index (S&P GSCI) is the largest tradable commodity index fund in the world with more than $80 billion in S&P GSCI-related investments. Investors have been led to believe that investing in the S&P GSCI during periods of rising commodity prices will be profitable. However, the return performance of the S&P GSCI rarely equals the price change of its underlying spot commodities over the long run. This paper examines the historical excess returns of S&P GSCI futures holdings from 2007 to 2013, duplicating the official S&P GSCI trading methods, and finds that S&P GSCI excess returns differ from returns on corresponding investments in commodity futures due to the interaction between term structure effects and futures returns.

description: This study is the first detailed examination of trading activity in the agricultural swaps market, covering 22 major agricultural commodities during the first 13 months of reporting under the Dodd-Frank Act. It is also the first to quantify the size of the agricultural swaps market using actual transaction data and three different metrics. The notional value of U.S. agricultural swaps traded during this period was $51 billion, or approximately 22% of the gross market value for “other commodities” reported by the Bank for International Settlements. However, the volume of agricultural swaps trading is equivalent to a small fraction of the volume for exchange-traded futures and options on the same commodities.

description: We report the discovery of (stellar) spiral-like structure in Hubble Space Telescope images of two dwarf galaxies (GMP 3292 and GMP 3629) belonging to the Coma cluster. GMP 3629 is the faintest such galaxy detected in a cluster environment, and it is the first such galaxy observed in the dense Coma cluster. The large bulge and the faintness of the broad spiral-like pattern in GMP 3629 suggests that its disk may have been largely depleted. >We may therefore have found an example of the ``missing link'' in theories of galaxy evolution which have predicted that dwarf spiral galaxies, particularly in clusters, evolve into dwarf elliptical galaxies.

description: Discovery of two-dimensional materials with unique electronic, superior optoelectronic or intrinsic magnetic order have triggered worldwide interests among the fields of material science, condensed matter physics and device physics. Vertically stacking of two-dimensional materials with distinct electronic and optical as well as magnetic properties enables to create a large variety of van der Waals heterostructures. The diverse properties of the vertical heterostructures open up unprecedented opportunities for various kinds of device applications, e.g. vertical field effect transistors, ultrasensitive infrared photodetectors, spin-filtering devices and so on, which are inaccessible in the conventional material heterostructures. Here, we review the current status of vertical heterostructures device applications in vertical transistors, infrared photodetectors and spintronic memory/transistors. The relevant challenges for achieving high-performance devices are presented. We also provide outlook on future development of vertical heterostructure devices with integrated electronic and optoelectronic as well as spintronic functinalities.

description: This study tests whether information provided by the U.S. Drought Monitor impacted futures prices for commodities between 2000 and 2012. Results based on the November futures prices for soybeans indicate that there is a statistically significant difference in mean and variance of absolute percentage price changes between days when the Drought Monitor is released and other days. Further analysis suggests that the effect of the Drought Monitor information varies during the year. In particular, absolute percentage price changes are generally smaller on report days than on non-report days during the winter and spring, but are larger on report days than on non-report days during the summer. Finally, focusing on the impact on prices of the magnitude of drought conditions, there is evidence that larger areas under extreme drought conditions lead to larger absolute price changes.

Year: 2014


The focus of this change in practice implementation project is to emphasize and encourage the use of non-pharmacological interventions as the first line intervention in managing the Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) among nursing home residents.  A sample of nurses (N = 14) and nursing assistants (N = 11) working in two local nursing homes participated in an educational intervention about dementia care.  Two hundred and one charts were reviewed of the residents of both homes for antipsychotic use.  Regardless that one home seems very organized, is using less antipsychotic than the other home compared to their bigger capacity as well as fully engaging the residents in regularly scheduled daily activities, no significant difference was found in terms of attitudes and knowledge of the staff towards non-pharmacological management of the BPSD.  Results were computed using SPSS Anova and T-test.

description: This working paper discusses preliminary ideas of a research project that explores the performance of marketing strategies. In this first step only strategies using futures contracts for soybeans are examined. A set of 26 marketing strategies was simulated between 1997 and 2012 based on November futures prices and cash prices in Nebraska. Initial findings suggest that mean returns tend to be higher (lower) when larger (smaller) portions of crop are sold with futures contracts, and when those sales happen in the summer (spring and fall). However, those strategies that yield higher returns also bring larger dispersion of returns, which raises the need to discuss tradeoffs between risk and return. Finally, it was investigated whether a group of strategies could consistently outperform the others, but no evidence was found to support this idea.

description: We investigate a double cavity optomechanical system(OMS) generating single and double Fano resonance(multi Fano). By altering a single parameter, the tunneling rate $g$ of the middle mirror, we are able to switch between single and double Fano line shapes. The first spectral line shape is stronger in the case of multi Fano than in the case of single Fano. Also the behaviour of steady state value of the displacement of the middle mirror with respect to $g$, heavily influences the behaviour of double Fano lines in our scheme. This tunability along-with using a single pump and signal/probe laser has an added advantage in situations where only low power consumption is available.

description: Gene regulation is one of the most important fundamental biological processes in living cells. It involves multiple protein molecules that locate specific sites on DNA and assemble gene initiation or gene repression multi-molecular complexes. While the protein search dynamics for DNA targets has been intensively investigated, the role of inter-molecular interactions during the genetic activation or repression remains not well quantified. Here we present a simple one-dimensional model of target search for two interacting molecules that can reversibly form a dimer molecular complex, which also participates in the search process. In addition, the proteins have finite residence times on specific target sites, and the gene is activated or repressed when both proteins are simultaneously present at the target. The model is analyzed using first-passage analytical calculations and Monte Carlo computer simulations. It is shown that the search dynamics exhibits a complex behavior depending on the strength of inter-molecular interactions and on the target residence times. We also found that the search time shows a non-monotonic behavior as a function of the dissociation rate for the molecular complex. Physical-chemical arguments to explain these observations are presented. Our theoretical approach highlights the importance of molecular interactions in the complex process of gene activation/repression by multiple transcription factor proteins.

description: Japan imposed tighter export control measures on chemicals used by South Korean companies to produce semiconductors and smart phones and TV displays. In addition, Japan removed South Korea from a "white list" of twenty-seven preferential trading partners that can import Japanese goods without added procedures. Adding to list of countries – such as the U.S.- which rely on punitive economic measures on the basis of national security, Japan justified its actions on security grounds. Japan should evaluate whether the motivation of national security is a reasonable excuse to restrict free trade with South Korea and furthermore – assuming arguendo a good faith bona fide threat exists – whether the export control measures even constitute an effective tool to advance national security.

description: We use a holographic description of technicolor dynamics to study gauge theories that only break chiral symmetry when aided by a strong four fermion interaction. These Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) assisted technicolor models provide examples of different dynamics from walking technicolor which can, by tuning, generate a light higgs like $σ$ meson. We compute the vector meson ($ρ$) and axial vector meson (A) spectrum for a variety of models with techni-quarks in the fundamental representation, enlarging the available parameter space over a previous analysis of walking theories. These predictions determine the parameter space of a low energy effective description where LHC constraints from dilepton channels have already been applied. Many of the models with low numbers of electroweak doublets still lie beyond current constraints and motivate exploration of new signatures beyond dilepton for LHC and a 100 TeV proton collider.

Jet-formation in accreting black hole systems and in GRB

description: Most powerful jets are observed to emanate from accreting black hole systems. Recent quasi-stationary radiative MHD calculations reveal that jet-launching start in the innermost region of a transition layer (:TL), which is located between the disk and the corona. The plasma in the TL is dominated by virial-hot protons, advective, highly magnetic-diffusive and rotates super-Keplerian. The amplified toroidal magnetic field (TMF) in the TL reach values beyond equipartition with respect to the electron thermal energy, thereby considerably enhancing the Poynting energy flux and yielding gravitationally unbound electron-proton outflows with a positive Bernoulli number. We speculate that beaming jets in GRBs may possess similar properties, provided that the GRB-progenitors have rotational energy sufficient for forming a nearly Keplerian and massive disk.

description: We introduce a logic for reasoning about evidence that essentially views evidence as a function from prior beliefs (before making an observation) to posterior beliefs (after making the observation). We provide a sound and complete axiomatization for the logic, and consider the complexity of the decision problem. Although the reasoning in the logic is mainly propositional, we allow variables representing numbers and quantification over them. This expressive power seems necessary to capture important properties of evidence.

description: Nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond allow measurement of environment properties such as temperature, magnetic and electric fields at nanoscale level, of utmost relevance for several research fields, ranging from nanotechnologies to bio-sensing. The working principle is based on the measurement of the resonance frequency shift of a single nitrogen-vacancy center (or an ensemble of them), usually detected by by monitoring the center photoluminescence emission intensity. Albeit several schemes have already been proposed, the search for the simplest and most effective one is of key relevance for real applications. Here we present a new continuous-wave lock-in based technique able to reach unprecedented sensitivity in temperature measurement at micro/nanoscale volumes (4.8 mK/Hz$^{1/2}$ in $μ$m$^3$). Furthermore, the present method has the advantage of being insensitive to the enviromental magnetic noise, that in general introduces a bias in the temperature measurement.

description: We consider non-renormalizable 1/M_X interaction terms as a perturbation of the conventional neutrino mass matrix. Particular attention is given to the gravitational interaction with M_X=M_Pl. We find that for the degenerate neutrino mass spectrum, the considered perturbation generates a non-zero U(e3) which is within reach of the high performance neutrino factories and just on the borderline to be of interest for supernova physics. For the hierarchical mass spectrum this effect is small. For 1/M_X interaction terms with M_X about the GUT scale, a detectable U(e3) term is induced for the hierarchical mass spectra also. Numerical estimates are given for all the above mentioned cases and renormalization effects are considered.

description: Abstract

The performance measurement system enables managers to evaluate the attainment of a goal using consistent and comprehensive financial and non-financial metrics. The performance measuring method enhances small and medium enterprises (restaurants) by augmenting revenue. This study seeks to (1) elucidate the impact of the characteristics of the Performance Measurement System on its users in restaurants utilizing Grabfood services in Medan city, and (2) investigate how the relationship between managerial performance or restaurant proprietors influences the utilization of Grabfood services in Medan city. This research employs quantitative methods, namely data represented numerically. The selected subject is the owner-manager of a restaurant that utilized Grabfood services in Medan City in 2024. The quantity of samples to be examined is 30. Samples from the restaurant will be processed utilizing the purposive sampling method. The employed data collection method is a questionnaire. The employed data analysis approaches include data quality assessments, classical assumption evaluations, and hypothesis testing. The results showed that the nature of the performance measurement system and managerial performance had a positive and significant effect on SMEs (restaurants) that used Grabfood services, and managerial performance or restaurant owners had no effect on using Grabfood services.

description: With the emergence of cyber-attacks on control systems it has become clear that improving the security of control systems is an important task in today's society. We investigate how an attacker that has access to the measurements transmitted from the plant to the controller can perfectly estimate the internal state of the controller. This attack on sensitive information of the control loop is, on the one hand, a violation of the privacy, and, on the other hand, a violation of the security of the closed-loop system if the obtained estimate is used in a larger attack scheme. Current literature on sensor attacks often assumes that the attacker has already access to the controller's state. However, this is not always possible. We derive conditions for when the attacker is able to perfectly estimate the controller's state. These conditions show that if the controller has unstable poles a perfect estimate of the controller state is not possible. Moreover, we propose a defence mechanism to render the attack infeasible. This defence is based on adding uncertainty to the controller dynamics. We also discuss why an unstable controller is only a good defence for certain plants. Finally, simulations with a three-tank system verify our results.

Self-consistent description of vector-mesons in matter

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the influence of the virtual pion cloud in nuclear matter at finite densities and temperatures on the structure of the rho- and omega-mesons. The in-matter spectral function of the pion is obtained within a selfconsistent scheme of coupled Dyson equations where the coupling to the nucleon and the Delta(1232)-isobar resonance is taken into account. The selfenergies are determined using a two-particle irreducible (2PI) truncation scheme (Phi-derivable approximation) supplemented by Migdal's short range correlations for the particle-hole excitations. The so obtained spectral function of the pion is then used to calculate the in-medium changes of the vector-meson spectral functions. With increasing density and temperature a strong interplay of both vector-meson modes is observed. The four-transversality of the polarisation tensors of the vector-mesons is achieved by a projector technique. The resulting spectral functions of both vector-mesons and, through vector dominance, the implications of our results on the dilepton spectra are studied in their dependence on density and temperature.

description: We present a theory of particles, obeying intermediate statistics ("anyons"), interpolating between Bosons and Fermions, based on the principle of Detailed Balance. It is demonstrated that the scattering probabilities of identical particles can be expressed in terms of the basic numbers, which arise naturally and logically in this theory. A transcendental equation determining the distribution function of anyons is obtained in terms of the statistics parameter, whose limiting values 0 and 1 correspond to Bosons and Fermions respectively. The distribution function is determined as a power series involving the Boltzmann factor and the statistics parameter and we also express the distribution function as an infinite continued fraction. The last form enables one to develop approximate forms for the distribution function, with the first approximant agreeing with our earlier investigation.

description: Changes in the distribution of an agricultural commodity among quality classes may affect the total revenue obtained from a given quantity of product. Growers and marketing firms need to consider the best mix of qualities as well as the best level of output. This paper describes an approach to the empirical problem of selecting, from several alternative feasible mixes of qualities, the one which would yield the maximum net revenue. The paper focuses on a single attribute and a single commodity but the concepts and methodology used can be extended readily to other quality attributes and other commodities.

description: We present observations towards one of the closest regions of high mass star formation, Orion BN/KL, performed at both low resolution mode (grating mode) and high resolution mode (Fabry-Perot) with the Long Wavelength Spectrometer on board the Infrared Space Observatory. We detected the CO rotational lines from Jup = 15 to Jup = 45. While the lines with Jup<= 32 are spectrally unresolved, the higher lying lines show a broadened profile. Finally, we detected two 13CO lines, namely at Jup = 18 and 24, from which we could derive the opacities of the relative 12CO lines. The LVG analysis of the observed line spectrum allows to distinguish three main physical components with different temperatures, densities and column densities: 1) lines with Jup< 20 originate mainly in the diffuse photodissociation region surrounding the source; 2) lines with Jup between 20 and 30 originate in the high velocity outflow (plateau) emanating from IrC2; 3) lines with Jup > 32 originate in the hot and dense gas of the shocked component of the outflow. We discuss how future observations with HIFI, onboard the Far Infrared Space Telescope (FIRST) will allow to spectrally and spatially disentangle the three components, and, consequently, characterise more precisely the Orion BN/KL star forming region.
