Parents with Low Literacy Report Higher Quality of Well-Child Care
Creators: name: Rosenthal, Marjorie S., MD
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: Introduction: The growing literature on improving pediatric quality of care has highlighted the gaps in quality by socioeconomic status. Literacy may be an important factor within the relationship between socioeconomic status and quality healthcare. As young children depend on their parents for healthcare services, we hypothesized that low parental literacy would be associated with poor well-child healthcare. Methods Our design was a cross-sectional survey using face-to-face interviews of caregivers of 1-4 year old children in a pediatric resident clinic in the Southeast. We used the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine to assess parental literacy and four subscales relevant to either provider-parent relationships or content of discussions in the well-child visit from the Promoting Healthy Development Survey to assess the quality of the well-child appointment. Results The mean age of the 150 respondents was 30 years, 56% were African American, 68% received Medicaid, and 86% graduated high school. Thirty-four percent of the respondents scored below a 9th grade reading level (low literacy). Parents with low-literacy were more likely than those with normal or high literacy to report family centered care (55% versus 27%, p=0.001 ), and helpfulness and confidence (84% versus 56%, p<0.001 ). There was no difference, by literacy level, in the mean percent of family well-being topics discussed or the mean percent of anticipatory guidance topics for which the parents had their informational needs met. Discussion The low-literacy respondents reported higher quality than the normal/high literacy group regarding relationships and there was no difference in quality by literacy level regarding content of discussions. Potential mechanisms for the difference between low and high literacy groups include that parents with low-literacy may have lower expectations regarding relationships with their healthcare provider or pediatric residents may be more effective at relationship building with low-literacy families.

description: Self-assembly of proteins into amyloid aggregates is an important biological phenomenon associated with human diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid fibrils also have potential applications in nano-engineering of biomaterials. The kinetics of amyloid assembly show an exponential growth phase preceded by a lag phase, variable in duration as seen in bulk experiments and experiments that mimic the small volumes of cells. Here, to investigate the origins and the properties of the observed variability in the lag phase of amyloid assembly currently not accounted for by deterministic nucleation dependent mechanisms, we formulate a new stochastic minimal model that is capable of describing the characteristics of amyloid growth curves despite its simplicity. We then solve the stochastic differential equations of our model and give mathematical proof of a central limit theorem for the sample growth trajectories of the nucleated aggregation process. These results give an asymptotic description for our simple model, from which closed form analytical results capable of describing and predicting the variability of nucleated amyloid assembly were derived. We also demonstrate the application of our results to inform experiments in a conceptually friendly and clear fashion. Our model offers a new perspective and paves the way for a new and efficient approach on extracting vital information regarding the key initial events of amyloid formation.

description: Optical conductivity of graphene is studied using Quantum Monte Carlo calculations. We start from Euclidean current-current correlator and extract $σ(ω)$ from Green-Kubo relations using Backus-Gilbert method. Calculations were performed both for long-range interactions and taking into account only contact term. In both cases we vary interaction strength and study its influence on optical conductivity. We compare our results with previous theoretical calculations choosing $ω\approx κ$ thus working in the region of the plateau in $σ(ω)$ which corresponds to optical conductivity of Dirac quasiparticles. No dependence of optical conductivity on interaction strength is observed unless we approach antiferromagnetic phase transition in case of artificially enhanced contact term. Our results strongly support previous theoretical studies claimed very weak regularization of graphene conductivity.

description: Correlations are a valuable resource for quantum information processing and quantum thermodynamics. However, the preparation of some correlated states can carry a substantial cost that should be compared against its value. We show that classical correlations can be catalytically exploited, which enables to mitigate heat and entropy dissipation in information erasure. These correlations are naturally generated by the erasure process, and thus can be considered free. Although we also show that maximum erasure with minimum dissipation and no correlations is theoretically possible, catalysts are always useful in practical erasure settings, where correlations are expected to take place.

description: Motivated by the high computational costs of classical simulations, machine-learned generative models can be extremely useful in particle physics and elsewhere. They become especially attractive when surrogate models can efficiently learn the underlying distribution, such that a generated sample outperforms a training sample of limited size. This kind of GANplification has been observed for simple Gaussian models. We show the same effect for a physics simulation, specifically photon showers in an electromagnetic calorimeter.

TAKERS: An Interactive Online Module to Improve Health Outcomes in Pediatric Chronic Kidney Disease Patients

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Abstract Over 15% of children in the United States and 17.2% of children in North Carolina have special health care needs. These children and adolescents (youth) need assistance with transitioning from family-centered pediatric care to independent adult medical care; however, in 2009 less than half of them received the services they needed for a successful transition. Health care transition is vital to decreasing the morbidity and mortality of youth with chronic diseases. The University of North Carolina (UNC) Kidney Center is currently working to expand its health care transition preparation services for youth to meet these needs by developing the TAKERS online module. TAKERS is an acronym for Take your Meds, Ask questions, Know your condition, Eat healthy, Read labels and Seek support. The goal of TAKERS is to help youth ‘take control’ of their chronic kidney disease which will improve their transition from pediatric to adult care and increase their self-efficacy. Several studies of computerized serious games have been shown to increase healthy eating habits, increase nutrition knowledge, increase positive health behaviors, and improve health outcomes. The theoretical framework of TAKERS is based on the Chronic Care Model to address health care needs and the Health Belief Model to address self-efficacy. TAKERS will include educational components that will teach the key principles of transition through several online activities. Several components have yet to be developed; however, the UNC Computer Science students have created a “Space TAKERS” component of the module, which will be played on the computer. The participants will be evaluated at baseline, after completing TAKERS, and every 6-12 months after completing TAKERS to determine the effect of TAKERS on improvement of transition. The patients involved in this study will likely also be cross-enrolled in the longitudinal study being conducted by Dr. Maria Ferris with measuring TRXANSITION outcomes.

description: Bound entanglement, being entangled yet not distillable, is essential to our understandings of the relations between nonlocality and entanglement besides its applications in certain quantum information tasks. Recently, bound entangled states that violate a Bell inequality have been constructed for a two-qutrit system, disproving a conjecture by Peres that bound entanglement is local. Here we shall construct such kind of nonlocal bound entangled states for all finite dimensions larger than two, making possible their experimental demonstrations on most general systems. We propose a Bell inequality, based on a Hardy-type argument for nonlocality, and a steering inequality to identify their nonlocality. We also provide a family of entanglement witnesses to detect their entanglement beyond the Bell inequality and the steering inequality.

Ethical Principles and Legal Reform Related to Non-pharmaceutical Interventions during an Influenza Pandemic
Creators: name: Winters, Teresa
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Pandemics are the most dramatic representation of influenza. Three have occurred in the 20th century; the 1918, 1957, and 1968 influenza pandemics and have caused considerable morbidity and mortality. “History repeats itself” is a fond saying reminding us that, not always but frequently, what has happened before can, when we least expect it, happen again. Although we experience the “flu” seasonally, an influenza pandemic differs greatly in intensity and must be respected. Many methods of containment and prevention are used during times of influenza pandemics. These tactics include preventative vaccination of the public, prophylaxis and treatment with antiviral medications, and quarantine and isolation. Quarantine and isolation are effective uses of disease containment, however they must be used carefully and require the understanding of society and the time in which we live. The ethical and legal concerns become difficult if the public’s compliance is minimal. Although mandatory quarantine is a potentially powerful tool in the hands of governing bodies, will the capability exist to implement it effectively and, more importantly, should it be put into practice? A crucial foundation of public health and law is the safeguarding of individual liberty while protecting and promoting the health of its citizens. A way to remain prepared and clear headed during a time of rapid decision making and uncertainty is to establish up front an ethical and legal framework to be followed. This paper addresses ethical principles and legal reform related to non-pharmaceutical interventions during an influenza pandemic and will consider past evidence, areas of possible conflict and recommendations in relation to North Carolina’s influenza pandemic preparatory plan.

description: In experiments to estimate parameters of a parametric model, Bayesian experiment design allows measurement settings to be chosen based on utility, which is the predicted improvement of parameter distributions due to modeled measurement results. In this paper we compare information-theory-based utility with three alternative utility algorithms. Tests of these utility alternatives in simulated adaptive measurements demonstrate large improvements in computational speed with slight impacts on measurement efficiency.

description: The axial-vector mesons $f_1(1285)$ and $f_1(1420)$ are particularly viewed as the mixtures of flavor states $f_n$ and $f_s$ with mixing angle $φ$. In order to determine this angle, we study the $B_{d,s}^0\to J/ψf_1(1285,1420)$ and $B_{d,s}^0\to η_c f_1(1285,1420)$ decays in perturbative QCD (PQCD) approach, including the effects of vertex corrections, nonfactorizable diagrams and penguin operators. Not only the branching fractions, but also the direct $CP$ asymmetries and the polarization fractions are calculated. It is found that the branching fractions of these decays are large enough to be measured in the running LHCb and Belle-II experiments. Moreover, in comparison with the observed ${\cal B}(B_{d,s}^0 \to J/ψf_1(1285))$, $B_s^0 \to (J/ψ, η_c) f_1(1420)$ decays have large branching fractions, which could be measured promisingly through $f_1(1420) \to K_S^0 K^\pm π^\mp$ in experiments. We also propose several ratios that could be used to further constrain the absolute value of the mixing angle $φ$, but its sign cannot be determined yet in these decays. The direct CP asymmetries of these decays indicate the penguin pollution in the $B_d^0 \to (J/ψ, η_c) f_1$ decays cannot be neglected. We acknowledge that there are large theoretical uncertainties arising from the distribution amplitudes of axial-vector mesons and charmonium states, and more precise nonperturbative parameters are called. The comparisons between our results and future experimental data would help us to understand the nature of $f_1$ states and to test the PQCD approach.

The use of muscle morphology and local dynamic stability in clinical assessment of treatment for non-specific chronic low back pain
Creators: name: Lumbard, Helen Abigail Jacqueline
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2020

description: This thesis investigated the use of a series of tests to examine local dynamic stability (LDS) of the trunk, morphology of lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM) and levels of pain and disability in non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) patients within a clinical setting. Study one determined the reliability of a test for LDS of the trunk using maximum Lyapunov exponents (max), calculated from 3-dimensional acceleration time series collected during a 3-minute kneeling cyclical tap-test. The test was found to be reliable (ICC=0.760) in healthy adults, thus providing evidence that the use of this testing protocol was valid for use in future studies with repeated measures design. Study two established the reliability of using ultrasound imaging (USI) to measure LMM thickness on separate occasions. USI was shown to have excellent reliability (ICC=0.988) in measuring LMM thickness, thereby providing validity for use in future studies. Study three examined the outcomes of a series of tests used in a cohort of NSCLBP patients and age matched healthy controls; aimed at assessing LDS of the trunk using a three minute cyclical tap test during single and dual task (motor + cognitive) conditions, LMM thickness, and levels of pain and disability. Differences between groups and relationships between measures were observed at baseline and at 3 months follow-up. Significant differences were found between healthy and NSCLBP groups when comparing LDS during single and dual task conditions. NSCLBP participants prioritised the motor task at greater expense of the cognitive task, whereas healthy participants showed no deficit in either task. No significant associations were found between LDS measures and pain or LMM thickness, although after 3 months and a significant reduction in pain, the NSCLBP group showed behaviour that was analogous to that of the healthy group during dual task conditions. The results of this study show that the series of tests were able to identify differences between healthy and NSCLBP populations and may provide a useful clinical tool in studies evaluating treatment efficacy and effectiveness. Study four, a case study, explored the feasibility of using the series of tests in a patient receiving spinal cord and medial nerve stimulation – an intervention directly aimed at reducing pain, rehabilitating LMM and restoring dynamic stability. The study demonstrated the practicability of using the protocol with patients and informed recommendations for a future, larger scale study. The use of an innovative tap-test to measure LDS of the trunk during single and dual task conditions, in conjunction with LMM morphology, for clinical application in the assessment of NSCLBP patients are the novel aspects of this thesis and contribute new data and interpretations to this area of research.

description: We investigate the quotient algebra $\mathfrak{A}_X^{\mathcal I}:=\mathcal I(X)/\overline{\mathcal F(X)}^{||\cdot||_{\mathcal I}}$ for Banach operator ideals $\mathcal I$ contained in the ideal of the compact operators, where $X$ is a Banach space that fails the $\mathcal I$-approximation property. The main results concern the nilpotent quotient algebras $\mathfrak A_X^{\mathcal{QN}_p}$ and $\mathfrak A_X^{\mathcal{SK}_p}$ for the quasi $p$-nuclear operators $\mathcal{QN}_p$ and the Sinha-Karn $p$-compact operators $\mathcal{SK}_p$. The results include the following: (i) if $X$ has cotype 2, then $\mathfrak A_X^{\mathcal{QN}_p}=\{0\}$ for every $p\ge 1$; (ii) if $X^*$ has cotype 2, then $\mathfrak A_X^{\mathcal{SK}_p}=\{0\}$ for every $p\ge 1$; (iii) the exact upper bound of the index of nilpotency of $\mathfrak A_X^{\mathcal{QN}_p}$ and $\mathfrak A_X^{\mathcal{SK}_p}$ for $p\neq 2$ is $\max\{2,\left \lceil p/2 \right \rceil\}$, where $\left \lceil p/2 \right \rceil$ denotes the smallest $n\in\mathbb N$ such that $n\ge p/2$; (iv) for every $p>2$ there is a closed subspace $X\subset c_0$ such that both $\mathfrak A_X^{\mathcal{QN}_p}$ and $\mathfrak A_X^{\mathcal{SK}_p}$ contain a countably infinite decreasing chain of closed ideals. In addition, our methods yield a closed subspace $X\subset c_0$ such that the compact-by-approximable algebra $\mathfrak A_X=\mathcal K(X)/\mathcal A(X)$ contains two incomparable countably infinite chains of nilpotent closed ideals.

Multiplicity dependence of charged pion, kaon, and (anti)proton production at large transverse momentum in p-Pb collisions at $\mathbf{\sqrt{{\textit s}_{\rm NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV

description: The production of charged pions, kaons and (anti)protons has been measured at mid-rapidity ($-0.5 < y < 0$) in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV using the ALICE detector at the LHC. Exploiting particle identification capabilities at high transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$), the previously published $p_{\rm T}$ spectra have been extended to include measurements up to 20 GeV/$c$ for seven event multiplicity classes. The $p_{\rm T}$ spectra for pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV, needed to interpolate a pp reference spectrum, have also been extended up to 20 GeV/$c$ to measure the nuclear modification factor ($R_{\rm pPb}$) in non-single diffractive p-Pb collisions. At intermediate transverse momentum ($2 < p_{\rm T} < 10$\,GeV/$c$) the proton-to-pion ratio increases with multiplicity in p-Pb collisions, a similar effect is not present in the kaon-to-pion ratio. The $p_{\rm T}$ dependent structure of such increase is qualitatively similar to those observed in pp and heavy-ion collisions. At high $p_{\rm T}$ ($>10$ GeV/$c$), the particle ratios are consistent with those reported for pp and Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC energies. At intermediate $p_{\rm T}$ the (anti)proton $R_{\rm pPb}$ shows a Cronin-like enhancement, while pions and kaons show little or no nuclear modification. At high $p_{\rm T}$ the charged pion, kaon and (anti)proton $R_{\rm pPb}$ are consistent with unity within statistical and systematic uncertainties.

description: We present a realistic molecular-dynamics treatment of laser-cooled ions in radiofrequency ion traps which avoids previously made simplifications such as modeling laser cooling as a friction force and combining individual heating mechanisms into a single effective heating force. Based on this implementation, we show that infrequent energetic collisions of single ions with background gas molecules lead to pronounced heating of the entire ion ensemble and a time-varying secular ensemble temperature which manifests itself in a superstatistical time-averaged velocity distribution of the ions. The effect of this finding on the experimental determination of ion temperatures and rate constants for cold chemical reactions is discussed.

Project RIPPLE (Residency Initiatives Preparing Providers for LGBT-patient Encounters): A Program and Evaluation Plan
Creators: name: Berkowitz, Cara
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: The American lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) population does not experience the same level of health as the average American population. Examples of health disparities this population faces include increased risk of suicide in LGBT youth, underutilization of cancer screening in the lesbian patient population, increased rates of alcohol and tobacco abuse in lesbians and bisexual women, increased rates of obesity in lesbians, and increased prevalence of HIV and STIs in transgender individuals (DHHS, 2011). Therefore, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has updated their Healthy People 2020 objectives to include lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender health. The DHHS acknowledges that one of the social considerations contributing to the health disparities faced by LGBT patients is a "shortage of health care providers who are knowledgeable and culturally competent in LGBT health" (Ibid.). Although studies are beginning to examine how best to include LGBT patient competency training in the undergraduate medical education, there has not yet been as much work examining how best to include LGBT patient competency training in the graduate medical education. For this reason, this paper will enumerate the design and evaluation of a program addressing the training of family medicine residents in working competently and sensitively with LGBT-identified patients. The goal of establishing this training plan is twofold – first of all, that the family medicine residents at this program site will benefit from improved competency and sensitivity with respect to LGBT-specific health issues, and secondly, that this training approach could be reproducible in other family medicine residency programs.

description: The propagation and divergence properties of beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) play a crucial role in many applications. Here we present a general study on the divergence of optical beams with OAM. We show that the mean absolute value of the OAM imposes a lower bound on the value of the beam divergence. We discuss our results for two different definitions of the divergence, the so called rms or encircled-energy. The bound on the rms divergence can be expressed as a generalized uncertainty principle, with applications in long-range communication, microscopy and 2D quantum systems.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the issue of rising medical malpractice premiums in the context of the current political environment and possible solutions based on the effectiveness, political viability and cost/benefit ratio of each possible solution. The first half of the paper will address all sides of the issue including the state of medical malpractice in the U.S. and the key populations involved. An evaluation of the current political context will also be included in this section. The second half of the paper will address possible solutions to the issue. In the end, it should be apparent that medical malpractice reform is a complicated issue that will not be easily solved in the current political environment.

description: Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), are millisecond radio signals that exhibit dispersion larger than what the Galactic electron density can account for. We have conducted a 1446 hour survey for Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) at 145~MHz, covering a total of 4193 sq. deg on the sky. We used the UK station of the LOFAR radio telescope -- the Rawlings Array -- , accompanied for a majority of the time by the LOFAR station at Nançay, observing the same fields at the same frequency. Our real-time search backend, ARTEMIS, utilizes graphics processing units to search for pulses with dispersion measures up to 320 cm$^{-3}$ pc. Previous derived FRB rates from surveys around 1.4~GHz, and favoured FRB interpretations, motivated this survey, despite all previous detections occurring at higher dispersion measures. We detected no new FRBs above a signal-to-noise threshold of 10, leading to the most stringent upper limit yet on the FRB event rate at these frequencies: 29 sky$^{-1}$ day$^{-1}$ for 5~ms-duration pulses above 62~Jy. The non-detection could be due to scatter-broadening, limitations on the volume and time searched, or the shape of FRB flux density spectra. Assuming the latter and that FRBs are standard candles, the non-detection is compatible with the published FRB sky rate, if their spectra follow a power law with frequency ($\propto ν^α$), with $α\gtrsim+0.1$, demonstrating a marked difference from pulsar spectra. Our results suggest that surveys at higher frequencies, including the low frequency component of the Square Kilometre Array, will have better chances to detect, estimate rates and understand the origin and properties of FRBs.

description: The Technical Committee of the IEEE Magnetics Society has selected 7 research topics to develop their roadmaps, where major developments should be listed alongside expected timelines; (i) hard disk drives, (ii) magnetic random access memories, (iii) domain-wall devices, (iv) permanent magnets, (v) sensors and actuators, (vi) magnetic materials and (vii) organic devices. Among them, magnetic materials for spintronic devices have been surveyed as the first exercise. In this roadmap exercise, we have targeted magnetic tunnel and spin-valve junctions as spintronic devices. These can be used for example as a cell for a magnetic random access memory and spin-torque oscillator in their vertical form as well as a spin transistor and a spin Hall device in their lateral form. In these devices, the critical role of magnetic materials is to inject spin-polarised electrons efficiently into a non-magnet. We have accordingly identified 2 key properties to be achieved by developing new magnetic materials for future spintronic devices: (1) Half-metallicity at room temperature (RT); (2) Perpendicular anisotropy in nano-scale devices at RT. For the first property, 5 major magnetic materials are selected for their evaluation for future magnetic/spintronic device applications: Heusler alloys, ferrites, rutiles, perovskites and dilute magnetic semiconductors. These alloys have been reported or predicted to be half-metallic ferromagnets at RT. They possess a bandgap at the Fermi level EF only for its minority spins, achieving 100% spin polarisation at EF. We have also evaluated L10-alloys and D022-Mn-alloys for the development of a perpendicularly anisotropic ferromagnet with large spin polarisation. We have listed several key milestones for each material on their functionality improvements, property achievements, device implementations and interdisciplinary applications within 35 years time scale.

description: Recent experiments on Kitaev spin liquid candidate materials reported non-monotonic behavior of thermal conductivity as a function of magnetic field, which lead to conflicting interpretations of its origin. Motivated by this development, we study the magnetic field dependence of thermal conductivity of a generalized Kitaev model, which allows the phase transitions between different flux sectors as a function of the magnetic field. The thermal conductivity due to Majorana fermions shows dip-bump structures as the magnetic field increases, which is caused by either the transitions between different flux sectors of Kitaev spin liquids or the topological transitions that change the Majorana Chern number within the same flux sector. It is shown that the change of Chern number is closely related to the four-Majorana-fermion interaction induced by the magnetic field. The non-monotonic behavior in thermal conductivity emerges at finite temperature, and it becomes weaker when temperature decreases towards zero. Our model provides a generic mechanism for the Kitaev spin liquids to develop non-monotonic magnetic-field dependence of thermal conductivity while the detailed comparison to realistic materials remains an open question for future investigation.

description: For a real or complex semisimple Lie group $G$ and two nested parabolic subgroups $Q\subset P\subset G$, we study parabolic geometries of type $(G,Q)$. Associated to the group $P$, we introduce a class of relative natural bundles and relative tractor bundles and construct some basic invariant differential operators on such bundles. We define a (rather weak) notion of "compressability" for operators acting on relative differential forms with values in a relative tractor bundle. The we develop a general machinery which converts a compressable operator to an operator on bundles associated to completely reducible representations on relative Lie algebra homology groups. Applying this machinery to a specific compressable invariant differential operator of order one, we obtain a relative version of BGG (Bernstein--Gelfand--Gelfand) sequences. All our constructions apply in the case $P=G$, producing new and simpler proofs in the case of standard BGG sequences. We characterize cases in which the relative BGG sequences are complexes or even fine resolutions of certain sheaves and describe these sheaves. We show that this gives constructions of new invariant differential operators as well as of new subcomplexes in certain curved BGG sequences. The results are made explicit in the case of generalized path geometries.
