description: Children living in vulnerable communities experience multiple risks impacting their academic development and long-term emotional and physical wellbeing. Preventative interventions focusing on Emotional Intelligence (EI) earlier in a child's development equips the child with the necessary skills to navigate additional stressors that exist in lower socio economic status (SES) communities. EI is one of three pillars of intelligence, with academic intelligence and aptitude. However, EI is the only flexible indicator of intelligence. Development of EI skills with children will ensure the wellbeing of the children and ultimately improve the community's overall public health. This paper reviews theoretical approaches to EI, measurement tools, and interventions that are culturally appropriate. The development of an EI program will be demonstrated in a case study of an elementary school in Richmond, CA. Richmond, CA is the largest city in West Contra Costa County. The collaborative preventative intervention is being implemented to increase EI skills and improve the long-term emotional and physical health of school-age girls. The intervention is piloted with 3rd through 5th grade girls and provides evidence-based curricula in the school and with a partnering afterschool program, Girls Inc. of West Contra Costa County. Implementing preventative interventions in vulnerable communities similar to Richmond, CA will support the development of EI skills in children and are hypothesized to have long- term impacts for success in the workforce and emotional/physical health. Two arguments will be made throughout the paper. The first is for more research to be conducted on effective, culturally appropriate EI measurement tools and interventions for children in vulnerable communities. The second is for collaborative interventions to be implemented in local vulnerable communities to increase EI skills of children in those communities.

Improving Sustainability in WaSH by Integrating Implementation Science: A Review of Implementation Outcomes in Rural Drinking Water Systems in Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Creators: name: Pettitt-Schieber, Christine
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Background: Despite the magnitude of resources invested in providing access to clean drinking water in rural areas of low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), sustainability of the myriad solutions available remains elusive. Issues of implementation significantly limit the potential impact of these systems on health outcomes. Existing linkages shown between implementation quality and health outcomes demonstrate the powerful impact of implementation science on sustainability. This paper assesses the extent to which implementation science is currently being used to implement drinking water interventions in LMIC. Methods: A literature review was conducted to determine if any study has directly used an implementation science approach. Finding no relevant articles, a second literature review was undertaken to determine which implementation outcomes are current being addressed in implementing these interventions. Implementation outcomes were translated to approximate their representation in drinking water system interventions. Results: Sixteen (n=16) studies show evidence of attention to implementation outcomes. Outcomes with the greatest representation in studies were Acceptability, Appropriateness and Adoption (81%-94%), while Penetration, Cost, Feasibility and Fidelity ranged from 25-63% representation. Sustainability was evaluated in 0% of studies. Discussion: The range of results shows that implementation outcomes are only partially integrated into this sector, to the detriment of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Resolving this gap will require a concentrated effort by both practitioners and researchers. Consequently, implementation outcomes are translated here into outcomes appropriate to drinking water system interventions, and a research agenda for the sector is proposed for the future inclusion of implementation science.
A spatial compositional model (SCM) for linear unmixing and endmember uncertainty estimation

description: The normal compositional model (NCM) has been extensively used in hyperspectral unmixing. However, most of the previous research has focused on estimation of endmembers and/or their variability. Also, little work has employed spatial information in NCM. In this paper, we show that NCM can be used for calculating the uncertainty of the estimated endmembers with spatial priors incorporated for better unmixing. This results in a spatial compositional model (SCM) which features (i) spatial priors that force neighboring abundances to be similar based on their pixel similarity and (ii) a posterior that is obtained from a likelihood model which does not assume pixel independence. The resulting algorithm turns out to be easy to implement and efficient to run. We compared SCM with current state-of-the-art algorithms on synthetic and real images. The results show that SCM can in the main provide more accurate endmembers and abundances. Moreover, the estimated uncertainty can serve as a prediction of endmember error under certain conditions.

description: Let $K$ be a complete, algebraically closed non-archimedean valued field, and let $φ(z) \in K(z)$ have degree two. We describe the crucial set of $φ$ in terms of the multipliers of $φ$ at the classical fixed points, and use this to show that the crucial set determines a stratification of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_2(K)$ related to the reduction type of $φ$. We apply this to settle a special case of a conjecture of Hsia regarding the density of repelling periodic points in the non-archimedean Julia set.
Assessment of the Digital Divide: Barrier to Health Communication Dissemination
Creators: name: Whaley, Kermit Cyrus
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: In 1984 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that while there is progress in improving the overall health of the general public, there is evidence of significant disparities in the overall health of selected racial minority groups. Empirical evidence supports that socioenvironment is a primary determinant of individual health outcomes and is a factor in the health outcomes for these targeted groups. Subsequent epidemiologic studies link access and substandard health care as prevalent in poor and minority communities. Federal, philanthropic, and advocacy organizations responded by organizing to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in the U.S. One tool that has gained widespread attention is the expansion of the Internet as a tool for communication of health information to improve overall health outcomes. Research shows that characteristically, groups experiencing the greatest health care disparities are the same as those without access to computers and Internet services. Projects to reduce this trend are currently being piloted and are showing progress in confronting this problem.
Unusual dissociative adsorption of H2 over stoichiometric MgO thin film supported on molybdenum

description: The dissociation of a hydrogen molecule on MgO(001) films deposited on Mo(001) surface is investigated systematically using periodic density-functional theory method. The unusual adsorption behavior of heterolytic dissociative hydrogen molecule at neighboring surface oxygen and surface magnesium, is clarified here. To my knowledge, this heterolytic dissociative state has never been found before on bulk MgO(001) or metal supported MgO(001) surfaces. The results confirm that, in all cases, the heterolytic dissociation is much more favorable that homolytic dissociation both energetically and kinetically. The energy difference between two dissociative states are very large, in the range of 1.1 eV ~ 1.5 eV for Mo supported 1 ML ~ 3 ML oxide films, which inhibits, to a great extent, the homolytic dissociation in the respect of reaction thermodynamics. The energy barrier of heterolytic dissociation are about 0.5 eV, much lower that the barrier of homolytic dissociation. The transformation reaction on thick films will be more endothermic. Passing through heterolytic dissociation state have significantly lowered the reaction heat and the energy barrier for obtaining homolytic dissociative structure, which make the homolytic splitting of H2 easier on 2 ML oxide films. The results provides a useful strategy for enhancing the reactivity of the nonreducible metal oxide.

Bioterrorism Response: A Case Study of One State's Preparedness
Creators: name: McCormick, Megan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Objectives: Bioterrorism events are actually a subset of disasters for which the public health community is responsible to be prepared, but they are also a new and unique problem requiriug different and emerging planning for adequate response. This paper explores critical needs at our present national level ofbioterrorism preparedness, identifies some steps to be taken, and addresses some issues currently being or still to be addressed by states. A case study of one state's bioterrorism response initiatives is utilized as an example of successful integrated state-wide preparation, evaluated in the context of the CDC's current guidelines, and is presented as a model for potential further application. Research Methods: A search of multiple databases was utilized to identifY relevant literature on critical needs for disaster preparedness and identifY bioterrorism preparedness and response initiatives as was a reference review of pertinent articles for further useful information. Input for the case study was collected during a recent field practicum experience. Louisiana Case Study: Louisiana's bioterrorism response initiatives are explored under the categories of Organization/Planning, Education, Public Safety, and Health. Integrated organization of state bioterrorism response participants with a designated chain of command, broad scope educational efforts and utilization of exercising, communications improvements and health efforts and are presented as examples of successful responses to the CDC's guidance on critical and enhanced capacities set forth as goals in bioterrorism preparedness for individual states' action. Conclusions/Lessons Learned: Concerted efforts to bring multiple levels of government and the public up to speed in bioterrorism awareness and preparedness is a successful approach to meet designated goals as set forth by the CDC. Planning and exercising developed plans are critical to achieving appropriate levels ofbioterrorism preparedness as they establish patterns of successful action and build trust and a sense of teamwork, critical to efficient response efforts. The issue of how to prepare our nation, state by state, for a bioterrorism attack is extremely complex and rapidly changing, but the successes of Louisiana's initiatives towards bioterrorism preparedness represent a model for continued improvement by medical and public health communities.

description: This work studies the combination of direct femtosecond laser structuring of metal surfaces and Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition (SALD) of metal oxides as a novel approach to generate colours on different types of day-to-day metallic objects. In particular, a stainless-steel knife and an outdated 25 ct Dutch florin coin have been selected for the study. Our results show that it is possible both, to preserve the iridescence properties produced by laser processing and to tune the final metal surface colour by controlling the thickness of the ZnO coating. At the same time, this oxide coating could act as a protecting layer for the original material. We thus explore two different strategies to generate colour, namely, iridescence and interference, which can be even developed selectively. This novel methodology to colour metallic surfaces is a promising route to achieve cheap, scalable, and high-throughput processing methods and opens up a new avenue of possibilities and applications related to colour.

description: Drift-reduced plasma fluid models are commonly used in plasma physics for analytics and simulations; however, the validity of such models must be verified for the regions of parameter space in which tokamak plasmas exist. By looking at the linear behaviour of drift-reduced and full-velocity models one can determine that the physics lost through the simplification that the drift-reduction provides is important in the core region of the tokamak. It is more acceptable for the edge-region but one must determine specifically for a given simulation if such a model is appropriate.

Shifting the paradigm of nutrition metrics: A proposed program plan to address child undernutrition and generate demand in low- and lower-middle income countries
Creators: name: McNabb, Katie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Between 1990 and 2013, the number of children afflicted by stunting declined by 37%, and the number of underweight children declined by 38%. However a deeper examination of supplementary metrics reveals less progressive figures; for example, anemia among children under five actually increased between 1990 and 2010. Today, over 160 million children under five worldwide are undernourished, and should progress continue at the pace of the past 25 years, it would take over a century for the quantity of stunted and underweight children to be reduced to zero. Addressing undernutrition with existing approaches will continue to contribute to morbidity and mortality, straining weak health systems in the near-term and exacerbating poverty in low- and lower-middle income countries in the long-term. This paper proposes that metrics beyond the scope of nutrition and growth can provide a more meaningful input for social and behavior change communications; that the communication of progress against these revised metrics is a vehicle for demand generation in nutrition; and that the incorporation of personalized, feedback loops is required to effectively stimulate demand. This proposal stems from the hypothesis that if individuals are confronted with benefits of improved nutrition that are more meaningful, visible, and understandable to them, those individuals will be more likely to adopt the behaviors required to improve the nutrition of their children, whether those children are six days old or six years old. The paper takes a program planning and evaluation perspective, outlining a potential program plan to demonstrate the application of the proposed approach. The paper discusses the theory of change behind the proposed approach, and then puts forth recommendations and next steps required to test this theory and build the related evidence base, and to create an enabling environment that facilitates success.

A New Structural Phase Field Crystal Approach for Modelling Graphene
Creators: name: Seymour, Matthew

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper introduces a new structural phase field crystal (PFC) type model that expands the PFC methodology to a wider class of structurally complex crystal structures than previously possible. Specifically, our new approach allows for stabilization of graphene, as well as its coexistence with a disordered phase. It also preserves the ability to model the usual triangular and square lattices previously reported in 2D PFC studies. Our approach is guided by the formalism of the classical field theory, wherein the the free energy functional is expanded to third order in PFC density correlations. It differs from previous PFC approaches in two main features. First, it utilizes a hard-sphere repulsion to describe two-point correlations. Second, and more important, is that it uses a rotationally invariant three-point correlation function that provides a unified way to control the formation of crystalline structures that can be described by a specific bond angle, such as graphene, triangular or square symmetries. Our new approach retains much of the computational simplicity of previous PFC models and allows for efficient simulation of nucleation and growth of polycrystalline 2D materials. In preparation for future applications, this paper details the mathematical derivation of the model and its equilibrium properties, and uses dynamical simulations to demonstrate defect structures produced by the model.

North Carolina's Preventive Maintenance Program: A Case For Preventing Childhood Lead Poisoning Through the Use of Mandatory Interim Lead Control Methods
Creators: name: Huneycutt, Alan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: North Carolina's Lead-Based Paint Preventive Maintenance Program was created in 1997 when the North Carolina General Assembly adopted the Childhood Lead Exposure Control Act. The Preventive Maintenance Program was designed to prevent childhood lead exposure from deteriorating lead-based paint in older rental housing. As a primary prevention method, the Preventive Maintenance Program was designed to protect children from exposure to lead-based paint hazards. Today most lead poisoning prevention programs use screening to identify a lead-poisoned child after the child has already been exposed to the environmental toxin lead. By requiring mandatory participation of pre-1978 rental property in the Preventive Maintenance Program, there will be a reduction of risk of children becoming poisoned by lead-based paint.

description: Eighteen fencers (6 female, 4 left-handed) volunteered to participate in the study. All participants had at least 3 years’ experience of training in foil fencing and had been invited by the Spanish Fencing Federation to take part in the study, they were free from injury, and undertook more than 4 weekly training sessions. Six males and four females were in the top ten Spanish senior or junior rankings at the time of the data collection. One male participant was a current medallist at the senior world championships. Participants provided written informed consent and ethical approval (protocol number: 12/2018/CEICGC) was obtained by the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of the Catalan Sports Ministry, in accordance with the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki. Once consent was provided, participants were given an ID number for data collection and analyses. All participants were in a rested state prior to testing having refrained from alcohol and vigorous exercise in the 24 hours prior and caffeine and food ingestion in the 2 hours prior to testing. Furthermore, they arrived for the measurements after voiding their bladder and rectum. This study used an observational design where the fencers were divided in to 3 groups of 6 fencers of similar ability (determined by the coach). They then completed ‘poule’ (up to 5 touches) fights and ‘DE’ (up to 15 touches) fights with each of the fencers in their group. We used a counterbalanced design so that half of the fencers started with a 5-touch round and the other half with the 15-touch round. All testing was performed using the participants’ own fencing equipment and participants were instructed to prepare as they would for competition. The experiment was carried out during the competitive period. The project was undertaken during a training camp of the Spanish national team at the high performance centre CAR Sant Cugat (Spain) in July 2018. One of the training sessions was dedicated to the undertaking of this project. All fencing was completed in an air-conditioned sports hall which was maintained at approximately 21°C.

description: In this paper, we consider the problem of unmixing a time series of hyperspectral images. We propose a dynamical model based on linear mixing processes at each time instant. The spectral signatures and fractional abundances of the pure materials in the scene are seen as latent variables, and assumed to follow a general dynamical structure. Based on a simplified version of this model, we derive an efficient spectral unmixing algorithm to estimate the latent variables by performing alternating minimizations. The performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated on synthetic and real multitemporal hyperspectral images.

description: Black hole-neutron star mergers are among the promising gravitational-wave sources for ground-based detectors, and gravitational waves from black hole-neutron star mergers are expected to be detected in the next few years. Simultaneous detection of electromagnetic counterparts with gravitational-wave detection provides rich information about the merger events. Among the possible electromagnetic counterparts from the black hole-neutron star merger, the emission powered by the decay of radioactive r-process nuclei, so called kilonova/macronova, is one of the best targets for follow-up observation. We derive fitting formulas for the mass and the velocity of ejecta from a generic black hole-neutron star merger based on recently performed numerical relativity simulations. We combined these fitting formulas with a new semi-analytic model for a black hole-neutron star kilonova/macronova lightcurve which reproduces the results of radiation-transfer simulations. Specifically, the semi-analytic model reproduces the result of each band magnitude obtained by the radiation transfer simulations within ~1 mag. By using this semi-analytic model, we found that, at 400 Mpc, the kilonova/macronova is as bright as 22-24 mag for the cases with a small chirp mass and a high black hole spin, and >28 mag for a large chirp mass and a low black hole spin. We also apply our model to GRB130603B as an illustration, and show that a black hole-neutron star merger with a rapidly spinning black hole and a large neutron star radius is favored.

description: It was recently shown that vapor-liquid coexistence densities derived from Mie and Yukawa models collapse to define a single master curve when represented against the difference between the reduced second virial coefficient at the corresponding temperature and that at the critical point. In this work we further test this proposal for another generalization of the Lennard-Jones pair potential. This is carried out for vapor-liquid coexistence densities, surface tension, and vapor pressure, along a temperature window set below the critical point. For this purpose we perform molecular dynamics simulations by varying the potential softness parameter to produce from very short to intermediate attractive ranges. We observed all properties to collapse and yield master curves. Moreover, the vapor-liquid curve is found to share the exact shape of the Mie and attractive Yukawa. Furthermore, the surface tension and the logarithm of the vapor pressure are linear functions of this difference of reduced second virial coefficients.

Giving a Voice to the Suffering Silent: The Role of Patient Advocacy in Improving Access to Global Pain Care

description: The undertreatment of pain is a major public health issue worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the gold standard for the treatment of severe, chronic pain is morphine; however, access to this treatment in the majority of developing countries is difficult to impossible for a number of reasons. Well-documented and universal barriers include supply and delivery systems that are ill-equipped to adequately manage opioid medication accountability, regulatory barriers and national policies that do not recognize pain as important, and lack of health care professional education and awareness, as well as fear of regulatory retribution. Current research has shown that only 19% of the world demonstrates acceptable environments for hospice, just one illustration of the dire circumstances for people living and dying with pain. For more than a decade, researchers have worked to define barriers to accessing pain care and determine ways to overcome them. Work is underway around the world to help thoughtfully and systematically overcome these barriers. More recently, pain care, particularly for severe pain at the end of life, has been framed as a human right and moral imperative through various professional organization declarations, position statements and published research. This singular message has the power to help overcome the barriers stated above. However, the inclusion of the voice of the humans actually suffering from pain as a transformative force has been largely overlooked as an essential part of the advocacy process. This research explores the role of the patient advocate in helping to improve pain care, and identifies a crossroads of current efforts where efforts to raise awareness among people with pain, providers, policy makers and the general public can and have made a difference. It also explores the possibility of an international information exchange explicitly for the use of pain advocates to share their victories and help determine best practices that can be adapted in countries with similar environmental conditions.
