description: Domestic violence is a preventable public health problem that impacts one in four women during their lifetime. This project addressed domestic abuse in Marinette County, WI through a multifaceted approach of increasing awareness, alliance formation, and resource sharing between vested stakeholders of domestic abuse in the community. The objectives of the project were to: 1) Increase awareness among health care providers in Marinette County, WI regarding warning signs of domestic abuse, intervention strategies and local support resources 2) Help form alliance between major stakeholders to allow for resource sharing to best help domestic abuse victims of Marinette County, WI. 3) Increase local community awareness by initiating awareness campaign about domestic abuse with Project Give (not for profit organization) Presentations were given to 56 health care providers in Marinette County addressing screening for domestic abuse, intervention strategies, and contact information for local domestic abuse shelter (The Rainbow House). As the second part of the project, new alliances were established by providing counseling to abuse victims through tele-psychiatry services at AHC. An AHC provider was selected to act as a liaison between AHC and the local shelter and was assigned a place on the board of directors of The Rainbow House to further cement this relationship. Lastly, community awareness was increased through work with a local not-for-profit organization (Project Give). Project Give Back (packs) was initiated to collect school supplies for families of abuse victims. New alliances were formed when the director of Project Give was invited to join the board of directors at The Rainbow House. This project demonstrated that a multi-faceted approach to target domestic abuse through resource sharing between vested stakeholders can increase awareness and have a positive impact on countering domestic violence in communities.

description: A data management plan (DMP) describes how data in a research project will be collected, processed and made available. The Norwegian Research Council and the European Comission require research projects to submit a DMP. Scientific journals also often require that the research data are made openly available to others. A DMP will help you to consider every aspect of research data management from project start to data publication and thereby save time during the research process. This presentation gives a short introduction to what a data management plan is, why you need it, and how to write one.

description: This paper provides a new observer design methodology for invariant systems whose state evolves on a Lie group with outputs in a collection of related homogeneous spaces and where the measurement of system input is corrupted by an unknown constant bias. The key contribution of the paper is to study the combined state and input bias estimation problem in the general setting of Lie groups, a question for which only case studies of specific Lie groups are currently available. We show that any candidate observer (with the same state space dimension as the observed system) results in non-autonomous error dynamics, except in the trivial case where the Lie-group is Abelian. This precludes the application of the standard non-linear observer design methodologies available in the literature and leads us to propose a new design methodology based on employing invariant cost functions and general gain mappings. We provide a rigorous and general stability analysis for the case where the underlying Lie group allows a faithful matrix representation. We demonstrate our theory in the example of rigid body pose estimation and show that the proposed approach unifies two competing pose observers published in prior literature.

description: By assuming that the $Λ_{c}^{\ast }(2940)$ is a $pD^{\ast 0}$ molecular state with spin-parity $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{+}$ and $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$, the photoproduction of charmed $Λ_{c}^{\ast }(2940)$ baryon in the $γn\rightarrow D^{-}Λ_{c}^{\ast }(2940)^{+}$ process is investigated with an effective Lagrangian approach. It is found that the contributions from $t$-channel with $D^{\ast }$ exchange are dominant, while the $s$-channel with nucleon pole exchange give a sizeable contribution around the threshold. The contributions from the $u$-channel and contact term are very small. The total cross section of the $γn\rightarrow D^{-}Λ_{c}^{\ast }(2940)^{+}$ reaction is estimated, which indicate it is feasible to searching for the charmed $Λ_{c}^{\ast }(2940)$ baryon at the COMPASS experiment.

description: The use of Immersed Gratings offers advantages for both space- and ground-based spectrographs. As diffraction takes place inside the high-index medium, the optical path difference and angular dispersion are boosted proportionally, thereby allowing a smaller grating area and a smaller spectrometer size. Short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectroscopy is used in space-based monitoring of greenhouse and pollution gases in the Earth atmosphere. On the extremely large telescopes currently under development, mid-infrared high-resolution spectrographs will, among other things, be used to characterize exo-planet atmospheres. At infrared wavelengths, Silicon is transparent. This means that production methods used in the semiconductor industry can be applied to the fabrication of immersed gratings. Using such methods, we have designed and built immersed gratings for both space- and ground-based instruments, examples being the TROPOMI instrument for the European Space Agency Sentinel-5 precursor mission, Sentinel-5 (ESA) and the METIS (Mid-infrared E-ELT Imager and Spectrograph) instrument for the European Extremely Large Telescope. Three key parameters govern the performance of such gratings: The efficiency, the level of scattered light and the wavefront error induced. In this paper we describe how we can optimize these parameters during the design and manufacturing phase. We focus on the tools and methods used to measure the actual performance realized and present the results. In this paper, the bread-board model (BBM) immersed grating developed for the SWIR-1 channel of Sentinel-5 is used to illustrate this process. Stringent requirements were specified for this grating for the three performance criteria. We will show that -with some margin- the performance requirements have all been met.

description: The rise of digital news consumption has led to a blurring of the lines between what is news and what lies outside it. In this project, I examine existing definitions of news and propose a procedure for identifying a news organization via a mixed-methods case study of the grants committed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The procedure is based on the definition of journalism developed by Shapiro (2014). The coding scheme also identifies three subcategories of news organizations: journalistic organizations, non-promotional news republishers, and promotional news organizations.
Factors Affecting Condom Adoption Among Rural African-American Women in Intervention and Control Communities
Creators: name: Wang, Caroline
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: Background: From 1996-1998, a lay health advisor (LHA) intervention was implemented to decrease STD transmission in a rural African-American community with high rates of STDs. Evaluation after 18 months found increases in care-seeking activities and consistent condom use with main partners, but the proportion of women who ever used a condom with their main partners did not change. Over the same period of time, evaluation of a comparison community found decreases in care-seeking, and increases in both consistent condom use and the proportion of women who used condoms with their main partners. Objectives: In this analysis, we sought to identify factors affecting condom adoption in these rural communities. Furthermore, we sought to explain how some communities might more readily adopt safe sexual behaviors than others. Methods: From post-intervention surveys conducted in 1998, we examined various demographic, attitudinal, and contextual factors for their effect on condom non-use in the two communities. Cross tabulations and Pearson's chi-square were used to determine whether any of these factors were more prevalent in either community. Combining data from the two communities, independent predictors were identified by logistic regression. Interaction terms were also tested in the logistic regression to identifY any factors that operated differently on condom adoption in the two communities. Results: For both communities, the belief that condom use implies distrust of or unfaithfulness to one's main partner significantly predicted non-use. Partner belief that condoms are for new partners also predicted non-use. On the other hand, positive attitudes predicted condom adoption. Compared to the comparison community, more women in the intervention community were married, cohabiting with their main partners, and unopposed to pregnancy. Each of these variables also independently predicted condom non-use. All except one predictor operated similarly in both communities. Conclusions: Rates of marriage, cohabitation, and desire for pregnancy can affect a population's readiness to adopt condom use with main partners. Yet, increased prevalence of these factors is not always associated with a corresponding decrease in prevalence of multiple sexual partners. There is a need for future STD prevention efforts to help heterosexual populations overcome barriers of distrust associated with condom use, and to develop strategies for condom adoption among married or cohabiting partners in high risk populations.

Show or Tell? Preschool-aged children adapt their communication to their partner's auditory access

description: As adults, we often tailor our communication to others’ auditory access, such as using more gestures in lieu of speech in noisy environments. Yet, assessing the relative effectiveness of different communicative acts based on others’ perceptual access—especially when it differs from one’s own—requires sophisticated mental-state reasoning, which undergoes significant developmental change in early childhood. Can young children tailor how they communicate based on their partners’ auditory access? In Study 1, parents (n=98) reported that most of their children adjust their communicative behaviors in noisy settings by around age 4. In Study 2, we elicited these behaviors in a tightly-controlled experiment, in which 4-year-old children (n=48) taught how a novel toy works to a learner wearing headphones; they were either playing loud music or were silent. When the learner’s auditory access was obstructed, children were more likely to use physical demonstrations to teach the learner and less likely to use verbal explanations; on the other hand, when the learner’s vision and audition were both intact, children were more likely to use verbal instruction and less likely to use physical demonstrations. These findings demonstrate that preschool-aged children can reason about others’ perceptual access
across multiple sensory modalities and possess a sophisticated understanding of what does and does not alter others’ auditory access, including factors with an asymmetric effect. Results indicate that children can apply such mental-state reasoning to flexibly communicate with others, which likely supports their ability to communicate successfully across perceptually-compromised contexts and individuals.

description: People living with chronic kidney disease not requiring renal replacement therapy are often not active enough to gain the health benefits that physical activity can provide. This thesis described the iterative development and feasibility testing of a theory-driven intervention (SPARK) to address this issue This thesis comprises four studies utilising mixed-methodologies; a systematic review investigating the association of physical function and physical activity with all-cause mortality and adverse clinical outcomes; secondary analysis of a cross-sectional study exploring physical activity behaviour and patients’ attitudes to being active; the development of a theory-based intervention using an iterative approach based on expert and patient involvement and feasibility testing of the SPARK intervention. Key findings: - higher mortality rates and/or prevalence of adverse clinical events were associated with lower physical activity and poorer physical function levels. - 77% of people living with chronic kidney disease not requiring renal replacement therapy are insufficiently active and walking was the preferred modality of activity. Factors considered to support physical activity behaviour included education, motivation and support. The most common physical barriers were fatigue and general malaise. Social barriers and psychological barriers were also described. - The SPARK intervention comprised an 8 week walking and strength training programme, delivered using Motivational Interviewing, supplemented with written material and supportive telephone calls during the intervention period. - Feasibility testing (n=27) was conducted in primary and secondary care and demonstrated that recruitment rates were low in primary care (5.29% consent rate), but more successful in secondary care (27% consent rate). Retention rate was 85%. Engagement data was encouraging, 24 participants (89%) returned physical activity diaries with a mean completion rate=84% days of the intervention period. This programme of work has produced an intervention that could be tested in a randomised controlled trial to investigate efficacy.

Understanding Community Awareness, Discrimination, and Stigma Associated with Mental Health in Lower-Middle Income Countries – A Systematic Literature Review with a case study from India
Creators: name: Ajmani, Arti
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Mental health is given a low priority across the globe and a major hindrance to implementing effective interventions is the low level of awareness, as well as high levels of stigma and discrimination that surround mental disorders. The systematic review’s objective was to identify some of the existing published literature around community awareness and attitudes towards mental health in order to assess where some research gaps may lie. This systematic literature review began with a search of published literature about awareness, stigma and discrimination towards mental health in general and about three disorders: psychoses, depression, and alcohol use disorders. After exclusion, seventy-two articles were identified through PubMed and PsycInfo for inclusion. These articles covered eighteen of the fifty-six lower-middle income countries identified by the World Bank based on gross national income per capita. The studies were synthesized and analyzed through the categories of awareness, stigma and discrimination. The findings specific to India were compared with the literature from other countries. A case study was conducted in Madhya Pradesh, a state in Central India. Low levels of awareness coupled with high levels of stigma and discrimination were found globally and in the case study. Specific research and intervention ideas for improving the mental health conditions though leadership and community involvement in Madhya Pradesh were identified.

description: A parametric beam lattice model is formulated to analyse the propagation properties of elastic in-plane waves in an auxetic material based on a hexachiral topology of the periodic cell, equipped with inertial local resonators. The Floquet-Bloch boundary conditions are imposed on a reduced order linear model in the only dynamically active degrees-offreedom. Since the resonators can be designed to open and shift band gaps, an optimal design, focused on the largest possible gap in the low-frequency range, is achieved by solving a maximization problem in the bounded space of the significant geometrical and mechanical parameters. A local optimized solution, for a the lowest pair of consecutive dispersion curves, is found by employing the globally convergent version of the Method of Moving asymptotes, combined with Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo multi-start techniques.

description: We design fast bias inversions of an asymmetric double well so that the lowest states in each well remain so and free from residual motional excitation. This cannot be done adiabatically, and a sudden bias switch produces in general motional excitation. The residual excitation is suppressed by complementing a predetermined fast bias change with a linear ramp whose time-dependent slope compensates for the displacement of the wells. The process, combined with vibrational multiplexing and demultiplexing, can produce vibrational state inversion without exciting internal states, just by deforming the trap.

description: With health care reform on the minds of many Americans, the search for timely and cost-effective methods of improving our health care system is gaining new momentum. While it is possible to implement change at many levels, we argue that reform of medical school education is critically important. We maintain that an understanding of the health care system and a foundation in principles of population health are important for all physicians. A systematic literature search reveals that the current state of public health education for medical students is both unorganized and non-standardized across the four years of medical school. Here, we outline a program plan and evaluation of a course designed to expose medical students to population health education in their final year of medical school. With success of the pilot, we hope to incorporate such a program into our medical school‟s curriculum and influence development of such courses in other medical schools throughout the state and the country.

description: We characterised and studied, in the radio band, a sample of candidates of high Rotation Measure (RM). These point-like objects show a strong depolarisation at 21cm. This feature suggests the presence of a very dense medium surrounding them in a combination of a strong magnetic field. This work aims at selecting and studying a sample of radio sources with high RM, thus to study their physical conditions and their status with respect to their surrounding medium. We want to understand if any connection is present between the AGN hosting galaxy medium with some evolutionary track and/or some restarting phase of the AGN itself. Multifrequency single-dish observations were performed with the 100-m Effelsberg telescope to define the initial sample, to characterise the SED of the final sample (30 targets) and to determine their RM in the 11 to 2 cm wavelength range. From the observations, the SED together with polarisation information, i.e. the fractional polarisation and the polarisation angle, have been determined. Three different object types were revealed from the SEDs analysis: Older, GPS-like and Mixed. For each of the targets, the rotation measure has been found and the depolarisation has been modelled. No significant correlation have been found between the depolarisation behaviours and the SEDs, while a correlation has been found between sources with mixed SED (with an old component at low frequency and compact components at high frequencies) and high values of the rotation measure (with values in the rest frame larger than 1000 rad/m^2). This work helps us to define and identify a sample of sources with high RM. From the analysis we can conclude that the sources showing a restarting phase at high frequency (with a Mixed SED), are characterised by a really dense and/or a magnetised medium that strongly rotates the polarisation angle at the different frequencies, leading to a high RM.

description: Context Current research and practice guidelines support the use of both psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy for the treatment of depression in primary care. Identifying predictors of response to therapy can assist patients and providers in choosing the most effective treatment for individual patients. Objective To assess the effect of patient treatment preference on therapeutic outcome in a trial of antidepressant therapy for patients with depressive symptoms. Design Secondary analysis of a randomized, controlled trial of 3 selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRis) in primary care. Setting Participants A total of 573 patients with symptoms warranting antidepressant therapy in 37 primary care practices organized in 2 U.S. primary care research networks. Intervention Participants were queried at baseline about the acceptability of antidepressants, counseling, and waiting as treatments for depression before being randomized to one of three SSRis. Outcome Measures The two primary outcomes were 1) depressive symptoms, measured by the Symptoms Checklist (SCL-20), and 2) functional status, measured by the Medical Outcomes Study 12-ltem Short Form Health Survey Mental Component Summary Score (MCS-12). Outcomes were assessed by telephone interview at 1, 3, 6, and 9 months after initiation of antidepressant therapy. Results Patients were categorized as having a strong antidepressant preference (23%), mild antidepressant preference (48%), counseling preference (12%), or a preference for waiting (17%). Logistic regression revealed that white race, longer chronicity of symptoms, and a past history of depression treatment were significantly associated with a strong antidepressant preference versus other groups. Longitudinal models demonstrated significant time by preference group interactions for both SCL-20 (p < 0.001) and MCS-12 (p < 0.001) scores, adjusting for baseline covariates of age, gender, race/ethnicity, anxiety, chronicity of symptoms, past history of depression treatment, and medical comorbidity. Conclusions Patients who believe antidepressants are a definitely acceptable treatment for depression respond more rapidly to SSRI therapy than other patients. Patient treatment preference is a significant predictor of the rate of response to pharmacotherapy for depression.

Mach number study of supersonic turbulence: The properties of the density field

description: We model driven, compressible, isothermal, turbulence with Mach numbers ranging from the subsonic ($\mathcal{M} \approx 0.65$) to the highly supersonic regime ($\mathcal{M}\approx 16 $). The forcing scheme consists both solenoidal (transverse) and compressive (longitudinal) modes in equal parts. We find a relation $σ_{s}^2 = \mathrm{b}\log{(1+\mathrm{b}^2\mathcal{M}^2)}$ between the Mach number and the standard deviation of the logarithmic density with $\mathrm{b} = 0.457 \pm 0.007$. The density spectra follow $\mathcal{D}(k,\,\mathcal{M}) \propto k^{ζ(\mathcal{M})}$ with scaling exponents depending on the Mach number. We find $ζ(\mathcal{M}) = α\mathcal{M}^β$ with a coefficient $α$ that varies slightly with resolution, whereas $β$ changes systematically. We extrapolate to the limit of infinite resolution and find $α= -1.91 \pm 0.01,\, β=-0.30\pm 0.03$. The dependence of the scaling exponent on the Mach number implies a fractal dimension $D=2+0.96 \mathcal{M}^{-0.30}$. We determine how the scaling parameters depend on the wavenumber and find that the density spectra are slightly curved. This curvature gets more pronounced with increasing Mach number. We propose a physically motivated fitting formula $\mathcal{D}(k) = \mathcal{D}_0 k^{ζk^η}$ by using simple scaling arguments. The fit reproduces the spectral behaviour down to scales $k\approx 80$. The density spectrum follows a single power-law $η= -0.005 \pm 0.01$ in the low Mach number regime and the strongest curvature $η= -0.04 \pm 0.02$ for the highest Mach number. These values of $η$ represent a lower limit, as the curvature increases with resolution.

Enhancing the Understanding of Healthful Living Essential Standards in North Carolina Middle and High Schools: Who are the Educators, How Standards Are Taught and What Resources Are Needed?
Creators: name: Considine, Julia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of this qualitative research was to gather feedback to understand the current state of how the Healthful Living Essential Standards are implemented in North Carolina middle and high schools. The Essential Standards educate students about the risks associated with use of (1) alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, (2) interpersonal communication and relationships (3) mental and emotional health, (4) personal and consumer health and (5) nutrition and physical activity. The focus was on how the Essential Standards are taught, who teaches it, what resources are used, and what support is needed. While the questions address healthful living overall, there were also questions specifically regarding reproductive health and safety. This research was a collaboration with North Carolina Department of Public Instruction’s (NCDPI) Healthy Schools Team from June 2016 until March 2017. Over two-hundred administrators and educators were contacted utilizing purposive sampling. Thirty-five interviews were completed in person or via telephone lasting approximately forty-five minutes each. The interviews were audio recorded and coded for themes. Those interviewed included at least two members of the central education office, such as a principal or curriculum lead and at least two health education teachers in each of the eight N.C. State Board of Education Districts. Key findings include 1) Eighty-eight percent of the health/PE teachers did not receive sexuality education courses for their health education degree at their university or college. 2) Thirty-seven percent of health education teachers have not received professional development for reproductive health and safety in five or more years. 3) Fifty-two percent of participants reported that condom demonstrations were not occurring in the classroom. 4) Thirty-four percent of schools surveyed offer health for approximately seven weeks a semester. Thirty-four percent of those surveyed also stated that class time was shared evenly. Administrators were more likely to report that health and PE share instruction time evenly but teachers reported that health received less time. Recommendation Summary includes: 1) Separate health and physical education into two semester–long courses offered each year. 2) Enhance and disseminate a portal for resources and materials related to Reproductive Health and Safety 3) Provide additional professional development and support to attend trainings 4) Include health education in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and add health education to the Common Core.
