Year: 2012
Subjects: Adolescent parents
Attachment
Intimate partner violence
Hispanic American teenagers

description: The current study investigated the effectiveness of a prebirth coparenting intervention in improving attachment and decreasing intimate partner violence amongst Latino adolescent coparenting couples. Participants included 56 expectant adolescent couples. Adolescent couples participated in a baseline assessment occurring before the adolescent mother was 26 weeks gestation, and participated in two follow-up assessments  at 8 weeks and 18 months postbirth. Adolescent couples were randomized into the intervention group (n=25) or control group (n=21) following the baseline assessment,  with intervention couples participating in 5-10 intervention sessions occurring before the baby was born. Ten couples were assigned to one of the groups, but did not participate past the baseline assessment. The intervention was designed to assess the relationship  between intimate partner violence and attachment, improve the attachment and prevent the development of intimate partner violence in the coparenting relationship.
Computerized selection of pulse oximeter arterial oxygen saturation data

description: In recent years, technology has produced several new bedside patient monitors that continuously display important physiological parameters.  Simply processing more monitoring data, however, does not automatically ensure better patient care.  A selection process must be applied to the data to identify that information that will be most useful for human decision-making and computerized decision support.  This research dealt specifically with the pulse oximeter in the critical care setting.  The research sought to demonstrate that computers can be used to automatically record and report appropriate saturation values and identify real-time clinically important changes in the saturation.  To investigate how clinicians use pulse oximetry data and what constitutes a clinically important change in saturation, data collection, informal interviews and questionnaires/structured interviews were conducted with clinicians.  These activities yielded general perceptions of clinicians' practices and of the notions of "clinically important" events, but it was apparent that a clear consensus did not exist among them.  To address the possibility of computerized charging of saturation values, computer-calculated median saturation values were compared to values nurses had charted.  The computer-selected median oxygen saturation values were reasonable substitutes for the values manually charted by the nurses.  The computer-selected values were sometimes more timely and representative.  In an investigation examining real-time detection of important events, two detection algorithms were implemented in a medical intensive care unit.  The attending nurses recorded their impressions of the events that were detected.  Results suggested that it will be difficult to identify clinically important changes in oxygen saturation on the basis of saturation data alone.  Other factors such as mechanical ventilation settings and patient vital signs will need to be incorporated.  Computerized selection of pulse oximetry data holds great promise.  However, this research suggested that pulse oximetry usage practices are far form uniform and interpretation of the oximeter's saturation signal is equivocal.  These problems, in addition to the problem of eliminating artifacts in pulse oximeter's signal, need to be resolved before a reliable recording and detection algorithm can be developed and perhaps even before the fairly expensive and widely used pulse oximetry technology can be justified.  In the meantime, recommendations are made for a computerized oxygen saturation recording scheme that may result in the recording of pulse oximetry data that is more timely and representative and that also may assist cost-benefit analysis of pulse oximetry and in further refinement of clear guidelines for uniform pulse oximetry use.

description: The focus of this study was to measure and describe the variables of recent life changes or stresses, and a measure of ego strength in a group of hospitalized subjects and a non-hospitalized group.  This focus seemed relevant in light of increasing evidence which has suggested that a cluster of recent life events precedes physical or emotional illness. The purpose of the research was to look for relationships between the variables life stresses and ego strength.  The sample included two groups of hospitalized patients, psychiatric and medical-surgical, from in-patient units at the University Hospital in Salt Lake City, and one group of non-hospitalized individuals. The non-hospitalized sample was selected from visitors in the Outpatient Department of the University Hospital, from visitors to Cottonwood Hospital, a 157-bed private hospital, and from acquaintances of the investigator. The sample totaled 82, with 52 subjects in the hospitalized sample and 30 in the non-hospitalized sample.  For inclusion in either sample, criteria were established:  l) must agree to participate in the study, 2) must be able to take a paper and pencil test and fill out the necessary forms, and 3) must be an adult not under 14 years of age.  For the hospitalized sample, individuals were not considered if the diagnosis of illness were chronic with the exception of an acute exacerbation of the illness. The sample was selected over a four months' period of time according to the criteria established.  There were no limitations an to sex, age above 14 years, diagnosis, previous hospitalizations, or socioeconomic status.  The Schedule of Recent Experience (SRE) was used to measure the variable of recent life stresses or changes for the year prior to testing.  The rating scale used to measure ego strength was the Ego Strength Scale (ESS) which purportedly was a measure of adaptive processes.  An additional Biographical Information Form (BIF) was given to the subjects when the first two forms were filled out, for collection of demographic data.  The Pearson product-moment correlations indicated that ego strength (ES) was positively associated with age, and negatively associated with SRE scores (p< .05).  Ego weakness was positively associated with SRE score and negatively correlated with the non-hospitalized group (p< .001).  Age and SRE were negatively correlated (p < .001).  A one way analysis of variance was computed. The F level indicated that the scores of the three groups were significantly (p

description: Evaluating the H(x, s; pp) scaling function of elastic proton-proton (pp) collisions from recent TOTEM data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV and comparing it with the same function of elastic proton-antiproton (pp-) data of the D0 collaboration at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV, we find, from this comparison alone, an at least 3.79 sigma {\signal} of Odderon exchange. If we combine this model independently obtained result with that of a similar analysis but using TOTEM elastic pp scattering data at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, which resulted in an at least 6.26 σ signal, the combined significance of Odderon exchange increases to at least 7.08 σ, model independently. Further combinations of various datasets in the TeV energy range are detailed in the manuscript

Potential-field and two-dimensional seismic analysis of a volcanic rifted margin: implications for crustal architecture and petroleum maturation off the west coast of South Africa

description: The South African west coast Orange Basin is a volcanic rifted margin formed  during the Early Cretaceous break-up of west Gondwana. Volcanic margins are  characterized by syn and post break-up magmatism represented by seaward-dipping  reflector series (SDRS) as seen on seismic data. Poor seismic signal-to-noise ratio  problems at depth compounded with the high impedance contrast of the volcanic  successions make it difficult to interpret the geology preserved below them.  This research integrates seismic and potential-field data with forward modeling to  elucidate the architecture and nature of the rift-related geology. It is demonstrated that the  Orange Basin is divided into two rift segments with diachronous seafloor spreading and  that continental crust and associated rift basin extend far out to sea beyond the Orange  Basin outer high. Furthermore, maturation modeling illustrates that magmatic processes  may only have had a short lived and local effect on source rock maturation. The results  also demonstrate that free-air gravity and total magnetic field intensity maps are good  reconnaissance tools for identifying volcanic successions in rift basins.  The documentation of the rift architecture of the Orange Basin provides a starting  point for more sophisticated structural mapping of the margin and offers a basis for future  work in rift mechanics. Moreover, the results presented herein provide evidence that  linear magnetic anomalies on volcanic rifted margins may be confused with true sea-floor  spreading chrons with implications of incorrect age estimates of continental drift.

description: In many applications, an organization may want to acquire data from many data owners. Data marketplaces allow data owners to produce data assemblage needed by data buyers through coalition. To encourage coalitions to produce data, it is critical to allocate revenue to data owners in a fair manner according to their contributions. Although in literature Shapley fairness and alternatives have been well explored to facilitate revenue allocation in data assemblage, computing exact Shapley value for many data owners and large assembled data sets through coalition remains challenging due to the combinatoric nature of Shapley value. In this paper, we explore the decomposability of utility in data assemblage by formulating the independent utility assumption. We argue that independent utility enjoys many applications. Moreover, we identify interesting properties of independent utility and develop fast computation techniques for exact Shapley value under independent utility. Our experimental results on a series of benchmark data sets show that our new approach not only guarantees the exactness of Shapley value, but also achieves faster computation by orders of magnitudes.

description: Computational marketing has become increasingly important in today's digital world, facing challenges such as massive heterogeneous data, multi-channel customer journeys, and limited marketing budgets. In this paper, we propose a general framework for marketing AI systems, the Neural Optimization with Adaptive Heuristics (NOAH) framework. NOAH is the first general framework for marketing optimization that considers both to-business (2B) and to-consumer (2C) products, as well as both owned and paid channels. We describe key modules of the NOAH framework, including prediction, optimization, and adaptive heuristics, providing examples for bidding and content optimization. We then detail the successful application of NOAH to LinkedIn's email marketing system, showcasing significant wins over the legacy ranking system. Additionally, we share details and insights that are broadly useful, particularly on: (i) addressing delayed feedback with lifetime value, (ii) performing large-scale linear programming with randomization, (iii) improving retrieval with audience expansion, (iv) reducing signal dilution in targeting tests, and (v) handling zero-inflated heavy-tail metrics in statistical testing.

description: Fine coal filtration and dewatering are of great importance to the coal industry due to the significant impact in the quality, shipping, and handling of clean coal. High moisture content in the clean coal product reduces its heating value, increases costs, and reduces the coke yield in the case of metallurgical coal. In this regard, it is of significant importance to improve our fundamental understanding of water removal from the pore network structures present in filtration cakes. This thesis research presents the results obtained from the analysis regarding fluid flow through packed particle beds such as those occurring during filtration in an effort to expand the studies of particle characterization and its influence on coal dewatering. The study shows the importance of high resolution x-ray microtomography (HRXMT) as an important analytical tool for the three-dimensional study of particle beds. The multiphase flow and dewatering that occurs during fine coal filtration is described, and important factors that influence the efficiency of filtration, including the particle size distribution, pressure drop, shape, and wetting characteristics of the coal particles are considered. The experiments are designed to simulate the process of coal filtration using the Lattice-Boltzmann methodology, and identify the conditions that lead to the improved water removal and moisture reduction. The thesis and research reported herein demonstrate how HRXMT and the Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) can help in the short-term prediction and understanding of water removal from the pore network structures present in coal filtration cakes. Based on the analysis of HRXMT images, it is shown that the pore network structure has a significant influence on the retention of water in the filter cake. Narrow capillaries were found in the filter cakes with hydrophilic particles, while wider capillaries were mostly found in the filter cakes with hydrophobic particles. In addition, tests with different pressure drops were performed. Although the pore network structure analysis showed that the capillaries were narrower at higher initial pressures, the increase in pressure drop decreased the amount of water retained in the filter cake. The pressure drop increase helped overcome the capillary forces that retain the water in the filter cakes.

description: Geometric abnormalities of the human hip joint, as found in femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and acetabular dysplasia, alter hip biomechanics and may be the primary causes of osteoarthritis in young adults. However, empirical evidence of direct correlations between abnormal geometry, altered biomechanics, and osteoarthritis is scarce. Also, clinical measures used to diagnose FAI and dysplasia still have substantial limitations, including questions about their reliability, assumptions about hip joint geometry and their ability to definitively distinguish pathologic from normal hips. The goals of this dissertation are twofold. First, a set of tools are presented and applied to quantify three-dimensional (3D) anatomical differences between hips with FAI and control subjects. The 3D tools were developed, validated and applied to patients with a subtype of FAI, called cam FAI, to improve basic understanding of the spectrum of FAI deformities, and to provide meaningful new metrics of morphology that are relatable to current diagnostic methods and translate easily for clinical use. The second goal of this dissertation is to improve our understanding of intra-articular hip contact mechanics as well as hip joint kinematics and muscle forces. To do so, a finite element study of intraarticular cartilage contact mechanics was completed with a cohort of live human subjects, using a validated modeling protocol. Finally, musculoskeletal modeling was used with gait data from healthy subjects and acetabular dysplasia patients to provide preliminary estimates of hip joint kinematics, kinetics, and muscle forces and compare differences between the groups. The translational methods of this dissertation utilized techniques from orthopaedics, computer science, physical therapy, mechanics, and medical imaging. Results from this dissertation offer new insight into the complex pathomechanics and pathomorphology of FAI and acetabular dysplasia. Application and extension of the work of this dissertation has the potential to help establish links between FAI and dysplasia with osteoarthritis and to improve patient care.

description: Previous studies in Great Salt Lake (GSL) suggest that unmeasured sources of selenium (Se) may enter the lake via groundwater discharge. A fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (FO-DTS) survey was performed in the south arm of GSL during 2010 to identify near-shore areas of groundwater discharge. The FO-DTS data found there are consistent cold-water temperature anomalies with measured seepage rates between 0.01-2.37 cm/day. The CRP survey also identified three continuous layers in the subsurface: (1) a top conductive layer 2 m thick with resistivity of 0.5 ohm-m; (2) a middle 3-4 m thick resistive layer with resistivity about 4-5 ohm-m; and (3) a bottom conductive layer with a resistivity about 0.5-1 ohm-m. The middle layer is likely mirabilite (Na2S04 10 H2O), a hard impermeable salt, which appears to decrease in thickness in a W-NW direction towards the lake. Water-level observations indicate the aquifer is semiconfined and supports the CRP data showing a thinning or disappearance of the salt layer. The positive seepage suggests the mirabilite may not be as impermeable as it seems or the top 1 m of the sand above the hard salt layer is acting as a shallow aquifer which transmits shallow groundwater discharge. The R/Ra values in the groundwater are <1 and the tritium concentrations (1.2-2.0 TU) in the groundwater suggests the water has components of old and young groundwater. Geochemical modeling shows that mirabilite saturation index values for the groundwater samples were all slightly >0, indicating the water is at equilibrium with respect to mirabilite. The open water of GSL along the south shoreline had Se concentrations (1.9 ug/L) 3-4 times higher than 4 open water sites in the south arm of GSL (0.5 pg/L) measured during a 2006-2008 study. Geochemical modeling was performed on a groundwater sample collected 2 km north of a mine tailings pond containing elevated arsenic (As) and low Se concentrations. The modeling results suggest that under reducing conditions, As-bearing minerals are mobilized while Se-bearing minerals will likely precipitate out of solution possibly explaining why the shallow groundwater below the hard salt layer have low concentrations of Se (0.9-2.3 pg/L).

description: Perhaps the most heart wrenching legacy of the First World War is the profound, lasting impact the conflict had on its participants. Hundreds of thousands of British men  returned home from the Western Front with bodies and minds torn by the new weapons of industrialized warfare. While both severely physically and mentally wounded men were left debilitated by their experiences in the trenches, and were thus dependent on government pensions for survival, these two groups of wounded veterans were not represented in a similar manner to the British civilians at home. This thesis examines the  photographs of physically wounded men and soldiers suffering from shell shock from the Great War. Using masculinity and disabilities studies as tools of analysis, the positive regard surrounding newly disabled veterans becomes clear. The images of wounded men deliberately paint a picture of plucky, stoic, and independent individuals: the defining characteristics of a true man in this historical moment. These positive presentations of physically disabled men were created to be widely circulated to the British public, often as fundraising tools for the hospitals where they received care. Other pictures of the disabled tell a slightly different narrative, that of broken men being restored to their role as potential breadwinners through the healing treatments administered by the British government. In this manner, the government that sent these men to their dismemberment is also responsible for making them whole again.

description: Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) are responsible for an inherited predisposition to colorectal cancer through development of multiple adenomatous polyps.  The subject of my doctoral thesis has been the study of genetic variant of APC, called attenuated APC (AAPC), in which carriers of mutant APC allele develop fewer adenomatous polyps and exhibit a later age of colon-cancer onset than "classical" APC patients.  Dr. Mark Leppert mapped the disease phenotype in a large Utah pedigree, the first AAPC family recognized.  Subsequently, four other families were ascertained in which the phenotypic pattern was different from classical polyposis but similar to that of the "prototype" AAPC kindred.  By multilocus linkage analysis, I mapped the mutant phenotype to the APC locus on human chromosome 5q.  To more accurately determine the carrier status of AAPC family members at risk for developing the disorder, an effort was undertaken to obtain a highly polymorphic marker close to the APC gene.  I identified a CA-repeat "microsatellite" locus 30-70 Kb from APV that revealed at least 13 different alleles in the general population.  I use this DNA marker to perform linkage analysis in affected families, and obtained large increases in statistical significance over previously available markers.  The new maker was especially helpful for presymptomatic diagnosis of APC carriers in families requesting genotypic analysis through the DNA Diagnostics Laboratory at the University of Utah.  I searched for mutations in the APC gene in the AAPC families in the hope of revealing the molecular basis for those with classical polyposis.  Two distinct germline mutations were identified in APC among our five AAPC families.  Tow of our collaborators in Paris, Sylviane Olschwang and Gillies Thomas, identified two additional mutations in to French AAPC families.  All four distinct AAPC mutation predicted truncation product, either single base-pair changes or frameshifts, and they were similar in nature to mutations in families with classical APC.  However, they differed in that all four mutations were located very close to one another and very near the 5' end of the gene.

description: Stationary, asymptotically flat, black hole solutions of the vacuum field equations of General Relativity belong to the Kerr family. But how does one approach this state, dynamically? Linearized fluctuations decay at late times, at fixed spatial position, as a Price power law for generic initial conditions. However, little attention was paid to forced and nonlinear spacetimes, where matter and nonlinearities play a role. We uncover a new, source-driven tail governing waves generated by pointlike matter and nonlinearities, which can dominate over Price's decay.

description: We propose and demonstrate a passively biased 2 by 2 thermo-optic switch with high power efficiency and fast response time. The device benefits from the highly concentrated optical field of a slot waveguide mode and the strong thermo-optic effect of a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) cladding. The NLC fills the nano-slot region and is aligned by the subwavelength grating inside. The measured power consumption and thermal time constant are 0.58 mW and 11.8 microsecond, respectively, corresponding to a figure-of-merit of 6.8. The proposed silicon-organic hybrid device provides a new solution to design thermo-optic actuators having lower power consumption and fast operation speed.

Workshops

description: This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a workshop as a method of teaching appropriate listening and responding skills to seventeen selected nurses.  Knowledge of facts and principles in effective communication and their application were measured by a specially designed pre- and post-test.  Fourteen specific areas which related directly to content covered in the workshop were studied.  The means of the pre- and post-test scores were compared, and t-tests were computed to determine whether there was a significant difference.  While statistical significance was reached at the .005 level of confidence in three areas, the .01 level in one area, and the .05 level in five areas, generalizable conclusions were difficult to draw.  Further investigation needs to be conducted to study the effectiveness and efficiency of teaching communication skills to nurses.

description: The clonal population model of tumorigenesis depends on selection of genetically unstable cells with advantageous mutations. The number of mutations in tumor suppressor genes and proto-oncogenes in many cancers is much higher than can be accounted for by spontaneous mutation rates. This has lead to the idea that a mutator phenotype or increased mutation rate is an early event during tumorigenesis. Tumor samples from patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) exhibit an increased mutation rate and microsatellite instability and have mutations in genes involved in DNA mismatch repair. The hMSH2 protein is proposed to be the central mismatch repair protein when complexed with either hMSH3 or hMSH6. Biochemical studies using nuclear extracts from hMSH2-deficient cell lines are unable to correct single base pair mismatches or insertion/deletion errors common to microsatellite repeats. We examined hMSH2-deficient cell lines for increased mutation rates at coding sequences and microsatellite repeats to determine the role of hMSH2 protein in maintaining genome stability. Surprisingly, two of the four hMSH2-deficient cell lines tested did not exhibit a mutator phenotype. However, it was discovered that the mutation rate was significantly increased in these cells when they were maintained in suboptimal, high-density culture conditions or in different lots of fetal bovine serum. This conditional mutator phenotype has important implications for understanding accumulation of mutations during tumorigenesis and may mimic conditions of the tumor microenvironment.
Sequence stratigraphy, depositional history, and hydrocarbon potential of the mancos shale, Uinta Basin, Utah

Sequence stratigraphy
Uinta Basin

description: The Mancos Shale, an organic-lean marine mudstone dominated by detrital quartz and clay, was deposited into the Upper Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway. It is a proven source rock with potential as a target for hydrocarbon production from horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, but prospective reservoir target intervals from its 4,000 ft (1220 m) thickness must be identified and characterized. The distribution of lithofacies throughout the Mancos has not previously been studied in detail, so this formation remains undifferentiated and the relationship with paleodepositional up- and downdip strata undefined. Previous core-based analysis has provided a depositional and sequence stratigraphic framework for predicting the distribution of lithofacies in the Mancos. However, a unified, basin-wide facies and sequence stratigraphic correlation which tests existing outcrop and core-based models is lacking. 157 wireline logs were chronostratigraphically correlated across the basin to build a regional subsurface map and cross sections that highlight stacking patterns, regional facies relationships, stratal architecture, and sequence stratigraphy within a depositional framework. A sequence stratigraphic model is established for the Mancos Shale, which incorporates seminal outcrop-based models from strata of central Utah, Mancos core, and stacking patterns identified from wireline log data. The Mancos thickens to the north and west, matching regional trends of tectonically driven subsidence, the most significant control on accommodation. The Mancos Shale consists of 29 4th order T-R cycles, which can be stacked to form four 3rd order cycles and a single 2nd order cycle. Whereas the stacking patterns of 2nd and 3rd order cycles are consistent across the basin, suggesting allocyclic control, 4th order cycles are more variable, influenced by both allocyclic and autocyclic controls. Deposition of the Mancos evolved from a low gradient ramp, to a deeper water basin, which was then infilled by basin-floor fans. Two organic-rich facies associations, each corresponding to transgressive and early highstand sequence sets, heterolithic facies of the Juana Lopez and lowermost Blue Gate (FA1) and sediment starved shelf deposits of the Lower Blue Gate (FA2) offer the most prospective intervals for unconventional hydrocarbon production. Preliminary petrophysical analysis and basin modeling corroborate this analysis.

description: The validated spectrophotometric method for the estimation of labetalol hydrochloride (LBH) using a dye-drug reaction demonstrates a robust and reliable analytical technique for routine pharmaceutical analysis. The method involves the formation of a colored complex between LBH and methyl orange, which is measured spectrophotometrically. LBH showed varying solubility in different solvents: sparingly soluble in water, freely soluble in 0.1 N HCl, slightly soluble in 0.1 N NaOH, and soluble in both methanol and ethanol. Among various dyes tested, methyl orange was selected due to its positive reaction with LBH, forming a stable colored complex. The maximum wavelength (λmax) for the methyl orange-LBH complex was determined to be 433 nm. The method exhibited excellent linearity over a concentration range of 2-10 μg/ml with a correlation coefficient (r²) of 0.99984, indicating a strong linear relationship between absorbance and concentration. The method showed high repeatability with low %RSD values across different concentrations. Analyst-to-analyst variation and day-to-day variation studies confirmed the method’s precision and robustness, with %RSD values within acceptable limits. Recovery studies at 80%, 100%, and 120% levels demonstrated the method's accuracy, with mean recovery percentages close to 100% and low %RSD values. The LOD and LOQ were determined to be 0.25 mg/ml and 1.75 mg/ml, respectively, indicating the method's sensitivity. This validated spectrophotometric method for estimating labetalol hydrochloride using the methyl orange dye-drug reaction is precise, accurate, and reliable. The method’s high sensitivity, excellent linearity, and robust recovery studies make it suitable for routine quality control and pharmaceutical analysis of LBH. The low variability in repeatability and inter-analyst tests further confirm the method’s applicability in ensuring consistent and reproducible results in various laboratory settings. Overall, this method provides a valuable analytical tool for the effective quantification of LBH in different formulations and samples.

Liberalism and borders: finding moral consensus in the open borders debate

Liberalism

description: In recent decades liberal political philosophy has debated a significant question: If the basic commitment of liberal political theory is the equal moral standing of all individuals, how do we justify the presence of borders and their control such that individuals receive different consideration and treatment based solely upon their status as members of a particular political community? One position claims that hard borders are unjustifiable; borders must be open as a matter of right and respect for all individuals. At the other end of the spectrum is the position that hard borders are justifiable; borders can be closed as a matter of the right of particular communities to the goods that community creates and the preservation of that community's unique identity. A third category of arguments considers the problem from the perspective of the nonideal circumstances in the world; opening borders is an appropriate and necessary response to resolving problems of hunger, poverty and violence in the world. I examine several arguments in each of these categories, finding that the arguments offered are problematic in ways which make them less than fully persuasive, even though they explore in valuable ways different aspects of the debate. A second problem is that this moral debate has failed to influence in any meaningful way the ongoing public policy debate related to immigration. To overcome this second problem I utilize a model proposed by Jonathan Wolf and Avner de-Shalit in which philosophically fragmented concepts, which cannot influence policy in their fragmented state, are brought to bear upon policy through the identification of the moral consensus present in the debate. This moral consensus, which represents the central moral concern of the debate, can be effectively applied to the appropriate policy debate. The proposed consensus is based upon the central moral concern of the open borders debate, the effect of immigration control policies upon the well-being of individuals, and argues that states may control their borders constrained by the obligation to give consideration to the effects of control policies and to ameliorate the negative effects of such policies.
