description: Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) offers a window to view nanoscale properties and processes. When performed in a scanning transmission electron microscope, EELS can simultaneously render images of nanoscale objects with sub-nanometer spatial resolution and correlate them with spectroscopic information of $\sim10 - 100$ meV spectral resolution. Consequently, EELS is a near-perfect tool for understanding the optical and electronic properties of individual and few-particle plasmonic metal nanoparticles assemblies, which are significant in a wide range of fields. This review presents an overview of basic plasmonics and EELS theory and highlights several recent noteworthy experiments involving the electron-beam interrogation of plasmonic metal nanoparticle systems.

Translating Contemporary Georgian Literature into Foreign Languages. The Post-Soviet Experience
Creators: name: Модебадзе, Ирина
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2015

description: The contemporary experience of translating Bulgarian literature may have a few lessons to learn from the post-communist experience of another small country in the region, namely Georgia. A brief review of the practice and conceptualisations of translating Georgian culture suggests some aims and methods of intercultural communication that could bring intellectual enrichment through ‘import’ and ‘export’. The deep historical-cultural hiatus of 1991 forced Georgian literature’s international socialisation to start from ground zero. The Georgian state gradually took on a role as supervisor, manager and even intruder to counterbalance the “purely” market dominance of “demand” over “supply” that has characterised the post-hiatus situation.

Improving the Annual Health Check-up in Work Places in Japan at Government, Provider and Company Levels
Creators: name: Imai, Teppei
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Every employer in Japan has been required to implement annual health check-ups to all the employees by the Occupational Safety and Health Law since 1972; however, effectiveness of the health check-up has not been evaluated periodically. Although some of their items have been revised several times, detecting the risk of stroke / coronary heart disease (CHD) among workers has not been revised for several decades. This paper discusses the problems and solutions associated with the annual health check-up in Japan and recommendations for improving them. There are several problems with the health check-up. First, most of the evidence from the items of the health check-up, that is, chest X-ray, anemia test, liver function test, electrocardiography, and urine test does not show substantial to moderate net benefit. Second, the disease structure in Japan has changed drastically and cancer has been the leading cause of death since 1980; however, cancer screenings have not been included in the items. Third, the world trend has emphasized primary prevention such as Total Worker Health, and the programs evaluating and improving the work-related factors which may have impact on workers' well-being. Although the health check-up is considered to be a good opportunity for collecting information about work-related factors such as working hours, these factors have not been included in the items of the health check-up. Fourth, after the health check-up, workers in small enterprises may not have sufficient medical follow-up including healthcare counseling due to the occupational health workforce shortage. For improving the problems associated with the health check-up, the government should revise the items of the health check-up based on the current scientific evidence, disease structure, the world trend for emphasizing primary prevention, and evaluation of the effectiveness of the revised health check-up periodically by reflecting the current scientific evidence, and then providing the workers in small enterprises an opportunity for medical follow-up after the health check-up by restoring the occupational health workforce. Service providers such as occupational physicians can improve their skills and knowledge by revising the health check-up, and employers can promote employee health and well-being not only protect worker health.

description: We calculate the spectrum and the total rate of created particles for a real massless scalar field in $1+1$ dimensions, in the presence of a partially transparent moving mirror simulated by a Dirac $δ-δ^{\prime}$ point interaction. We show that, for this model, a partially reflecting mirror can produce a larger number of particles in comparison with a perfect one. In the limit of a perfect mirror, our formulas recover those found in the literature for the particle creation by a moving mirror with a Robin boundary condition.

description: The definition and manipulation of Langevin equations with multiplicative white noise require special care (one has to specify the time discretisation and a stochastic chain rule has to be used to perform changes of variables). While discretisation-scheme transformations and non-linear changes of variable can be safely performed on the Langevin equation, these same transformations lead to inconsistencies in its path-integral representation. We identify their origin and we show how to extend the well-known Itō prescription ($dB^2=dt$) in a way that defines a modified stochastic calculus to be used inside the path-integral representation of the process, in its Onsager-Machlup form.

The Outcomes of Antibiotic Stewardship Programs in Nursing Homes: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Feldstein, Diana
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Antibiotic stewardship programs (ASPs) are coordinated interventions that promote the appropriate use of antibiotics to improve patient outcomes and reduce microbial resistance. These programs are now mandated in nursing homes (NHs) but it is unclear if these programs change practices. This systematic review evaluated the literature regarding ASPs in the NH, measuring their effect on final health outcomes (mortality and C. difficile infections), health utilization outcomes (emergency room visits and hospital admissions) and intermediate health outcomes (number of antibiotics prescribed, adherence to recommended guidelines). We searched Pubmed, CINAHL, EMBASE and Cochrane for interventional trials performed in NHs with ASPs measuring the above outcomes. We found 529 studies that met inclusion criteria and included 14 in this review. Five studies were randomized controlled trials, 7 were Before-After studies and 2 were nonrandomized controlled trials. No study found a change in NH mortality or C. difficile infection rates associated with ASPs. No study found a change in emergency room use or hospitalizations. Eight studies found a reduction in antibiotic prescriptions for NH residents of NH with ASPs. Ten studies measured guideline adherence. This review is limited by heterogeneity in study design, intervention types and outcome measures. Overall, this review suggests that ASPs can affect intermediate health outcomes. Further research is needed to conclude that these programs are beneficial in NHs.

description: In a dense colloidal suspension at a volume fraction slightly lower than that of its glass transition, we follow the trajectories of an assembly of tracers over a large time window. We define a local activity, which quantifies the local tendency of the system to rearrange. We determine the statistics of the time and space integrated activity, and we argue that it develops a low activity tail that comes on a par with the onset of glassy behavior and heterogeneous dynamics. These rare events may be interpreted as the reflection of an underlying dynamic phase transition.

Implementation of a palliative care screening tool in the ICU
Creators: name: Perez, Alexis
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project was to improve goals of care (GOC) documentation, increase the number of palliative care consults (PCC), and decrease intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS) through the implementation of a palliative care screening tool (PCST) in two ICUs. Methodology: A quality improvement (QI) design was used. Data were collected over pre and postimplementation periods. The preimplementation period included in-person education sessions and retrospective chart review. Preimplementation data included surveying nurses on their attitudes, knowledge, and beliefs on palliative care pre and post education session. Chart review outcome measures included number of PCC placed, documentation of GOC discussion, and ICU LOS. Results: Findings from the PCAK survey revealed that there was statistical significance in nursing knowledge (p = 0.012), and attitude (p = 0.005). No statistical significance was found for patient’s eligible for PCC and the number of PCC placed (X2 = 1.524; p = 0.217). ICU LOS was statistically significant (X2 = 27.974; p = <0.001), as more patients were discharged from ICU between 1 to 5 days postimplementation.Implications for Practice: The implementation of a PCST critical to identify patients with PC needs. The use of a paper PCST could have resulted in poor communication of patient’s eligibility for PC between health care providers. Integration of a PCST into EHR should be done to communicate patient’s eligibility for PCC to health care providers. Keywords: palliative care, palliative screening tool, palliative care services, early palliative care consults, attitudes and beliefs, barriers to palliative care, advanced directives, goals of care, end-of-life, patient survey, advanced care planning, and electronic health records.
Prevalence of Substance Use in Screened Older Trauma Patients

Year: 2008

description: Introduction: Substance use disorders may be an under-appreciated cause of trauma-related morbidity and mortality in the older adult. Drug screening is underutilized in this population and as such, the prevalence of substance use in the older trauma patient is not clearly defined. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of older trauma patients was performed to determine the prevalence of substance use and elicit factors associated with alcohol and drug screening. All trauma patients: 50 years of age admitted for: 24 hours, to any of the 15 participating hospitals that report to the North Carolina Trauma Registry from January I, 2000 to December 31, 2006 were eligible for inclusion in this study. The outcomes of interest were the prevalence of drug and alcohol use in the screened group. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with screening for substance use. Results: The number of patients meeting inclusion criteria for this study was 54,164. Mean age of this study sample was 71.6 years (range 50-107yrs); 84% (n~ 45,510) of the study group were white and 56.6% (n~30.643) were female. The screening rate for alcohol and drugs is 15.22% (8242/54, 164) and 9.82 % (5318/54164), respectively. The overall screening prevalence for substance use (alcohol, drugs or both) is 17.62 %( 9543/ 54, 164). Prevalence of substance use in the screened cohort is 40.9% (3903/9543). Factors significantly associated with screening include the male gender, (OR 1.52), racial minority (OR 1.8), and injury severity scoregt; 15 (OR 2.5). Conclusion: The screening rate for substance use among older adults in this study population is low, despite a prevalence of substance use comparable to younger trauma population samples. This pattern is inconsistent with recommendations from the American College of Surgeons and the American College of Emergency Physicians for uniform screening for all trauma patients.
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy of 2M0441+2301 AabBab: A Quadruple System Spanning the Stellar to Planetary Mass Regimes

description: We present Keck/NIRC2 and OSIRIS near-infrared imaging and spectroscopy of 2M0441+2301 AabBab, a young (1--3 Myr) hierarchical quadruple system comprising a low-mass star, two brown dwarfs, and a planetary-mass companion in Taurus. All four components show spectroscopic signs of low surface gravity, and both 2M0441+2301 Aa and Ab possess Pa$β$ emission indicating they each harbor accretion subdisks. Astrometry spanning 2008--2014 reveals orbital motion in both the Aab (0.23" separation) and Bab (0.095" separation) pairs, although the implied orbital periods of $>$300 years means dynamical masses will not be possible in the near future. The faintest component (2M0441+2301 Bb) has an angular $H$-band shape, strong molecular absorption (VO, CO, H$_2$O, and FeH), and shallow alkali lines, confirming its young age, late spectral type (L1 $\pm$ 1), and low temperature ($\approx$1800~K). With individual masses of 200$^{+100}_{-50}$ Mjup, 35 $\pm$ 5 Mjup, 19 $\pm$ 3 Mjup, and 9.8 $\pm$ 1.8 Mjup, 2M0441+2301 AabBab is the lowest-mass quadruple system known. Its hierarchical orbital architecture and mass ratios imply that it formed from the collapse and fragmentation of a molecular cloud core, demonstrating that planetary-mass companions can originate from a stellar-like pathway analogous to higher-mass quadruple star systems as first speculated by Todorov et al. More generally, cloud fragmentation may be an important formation pathway for the massive exoplanets that are now regularly being imaged on wide orbits.

Skovoroda’s Text Ubuždešsja, viděša slavu ego: a Catechetical Instruction on the Liturgical Feast of the Transfiguration?
Creators: name: Bartolini, Maria Grazia

description: Skovoroda’s text Ubuždešsja, viděša slavu ego (hereafter uv) was published for the first time in 1894 in the collection of Skovoroda’s works edited by Dmytro Bahalij, who defined them as an introduction to the Catechism classes held by the writer at Kharkiv College. uv bears no date, but its graphic, morphological and phonetic features can place it between the late 1750s-early-1760s. After a comprehensive linguistic revision, uv was included in Skovoroda’s last work Dialog, imja emu Potop zmiin (1791) as its concluding section (O Preobraženii). Although uv’s rhetorical function remains open to discussion, in my article I try to demonstrate that the liturgical function of its biblical quotations suggests that it might have been conceived as a catechetical instruction (malaja instrukcija) on the liturgical feast of the Transfiguration. Furthermore, I also attempt a comparative analysis between the biblical quotations incorporated within uv and those preeminent in the Byzantine and Ruthenian sermons dedicated to the feast of the Transfiguration. What emerges from my analysis is the presence of common “quotational patterns” pointing to a shared Byzantino-Slavic tradition in the field of “sacred rhetoric”.

description: The article analyzes the role of rhyme in The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri and in its Russian translations, mainly from the point of view of its phonological characteristics through the example of Canto iii of the Inferno. Translations by Lozinskij (1950) and Iljušin (1995) were selected for comparison as pertaining to different traditions of rendering Italian hendecasyllabic in Russian and the most representative of these traditions at all levels of poetic structure. Lozinskij’s iambic pentameter belongs to the trend of Puškin and Brjusov, while Iljušin’s translation is the first attempt to revive Russian syllabics since the time of Ševyrev, who had translated an extract from Canto iii of the Inferno in 1833. In her paper the author compares differing methods of rendering the metric, rhythmical, semantic and phonetic characteristics of rhyme of the original by the Russian transla- tors, paying special attention to the problems of the interrelation of rhyme and alliteration.

description: We study the destabilization mechanism in a unidirectional ring of identical oscillators, perturbed by the introduction of a long-range connection. It is known that for a homogeneous, unidirectional ring of identical Stuart-Landau oscillators the trivial equilibrium undergoes a sequence of Hopf bifurcations eventually leading to the coexistence of multiple stable periodic states resembling the Eckhaus scenario. We show that this destabilization scenario persists under small non-local perturbations. In this case, the Eckhaus line is modulated according to certain resonance conditions. In the case when the shortcut is strong, we show that the coexisting periodic solutions split up into two groups. The first group consists of orbits which are unstable for all parameter values, while the other one shows the classical Eckhaus behavior.

description: An important goal common to domain adaptation and causal inference is to make accurate predictions when the distributions for the source (or training) domain(s) and target (or test) domain(s) differ. In many cases, these different distributions can be modeled as different contexts of a single underlying system, in which each distribution corresponds to a different perturbation of the system, or in causal terms, an intervention. We focus on a class of such causal domain adaptation problems, where data for one or more source domains are given, and the task is to predict the distribution of a certain target variable from measurements of other variables in one or more target domains. We propose an approach for solving these problems that exploits causal inference and does not rely on prior knowledge of the causal graph, the type of interventions or the intervention targets. We demonstrate our approach by evaluating a possible implementation on simulated and real world data.

description: Lorentz-violating type-II Weyl fermions, which were missed in Weyl's prediction of nowadays classified type-I Weyl fermions in quantum field theory, have recently been proposed in condensed matter systems. The semimetals hosting type-II Weyl fermions offer a rare platform for realizing many exotic physical phenomena that are different from type-I Weyl systems. Here we construct the acoustic version of type-II Weyl Hamiltonian by stacking one-dimensional dimerized chains of acoustic resonators. This acoustic type-II Weyl system exhibits distinct features in finite density of states and unique transport properties of Fermi-arc-like surface states. In a certain momentum space direction, the velocity of these surface states are determined by the tilting direction of the type-II Weyl nodes, rather than the chirality dictated by the Chern number. Our study also provides an approach of constructing acoustic topological phases at different dimensions with the same building blocks.

The Effect of Increasing Age on the Risk for Surgical Site Infection
Creators: name: Schmit, Kristine
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Introduction: The National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System (NNIS) risk adjustment system is used to predict risk of SSI. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between age and SSI, and to determine whether the addition of age improves the predictive value of the current NNIS risk index. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of 144, 485 patients who underwent surgery between February 1, 1991 and July 31, 2002 at one of 11 hospitals: Duke University Medical Center and 10 community hospitals in the Duke Infection Control Outreach Network (DICON). Our cohort was randomly divided into two groups: a derivation cohort and a validation cohort. Logistic regression was used to control for the effect of NNIS variables (wound class, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score and duration of procedure). The function of age that best predicts SSI in the derivation cohort was obtained by restricted cubic splines and these results were confirmed in the validation cohort. Results: There were 1684 SSis in the cohort (SSI rate=1.2%). The mean age of the cohort was 52.4 years (range 17-108). The most common procedures were orthopedic (41.8%), obstetric/gynecologic (10.7%) and cardiothoracic (10.0%). In the derivation cohort, there were 72,139 procedures and 873 SSI (SSI rate=1.2%). After adjusting for NNIS variables, hospital and type of procedure, there was a significant linear relationship between age and SSI (p=0.006). SSI risk increased by 1% per year between ages 17-65 (p=0.002). Interestingly, after age 65, SSI risk decreased by 1% for each additional year (p=0.008, relative to the pre-65 effect). In the validation cohort, there were 72,334 procedures and 811 infections (SSI rate=1.1 %). The relationship between age and SSI was the similar to the relationship in the derivation cohort. Conclusions: Age independently predicted SSI and added significant predictive power to the NNIS risk index after adjustment for NNIS risk variables. SSI risk increased in a linear fashion until age 65. After age 65, SSI risk decreased in a similar fashion for each additional year of age. The decrease in SSI risk after age 65 should be further investigated.

description: The author of the article raises the problem of the search for proof of the existence of unity in the value consciousness of the representatives of different ethnoses. Proverbs, the particular features of which are to reflect the value positions of their producers and to be a distinctive instrument in forming the value consciousness of members of society, can act as factual basis for solving the problem. The analysis of proverbs in different languages with the notion of the inverted preference reveals the identity of producers’ valuable positions of the given proverbial expressions. This identity is established on the basis of coincidence of the categories acting as provokants of inverted preference as well as on the ground of concurrence of axiological meaningfulness of these categories in the proverbial spaces and “zones” of the conflicts of evaluative meanings. The conflict of assessment connected with comprehension of one or another category being observed in each of the proverbial funds is defined as the sign of invariant essence of values.

description: We study singularities in the large deviation function of the time-averaged current of diffusive systems connected to two reservoirs. A set of conditions for the occurrence of phase transitions, both first and second order, are obtained by deriving Landau theories. First-order transitions occur in the absence of a particle-hole symmetry, while second-order occur in its presence and are associated with a symmetry breaking. The analysis is done in two distinct statistical ensembles, shedding light on previous results. In addition, we also provide an exact solution of a model exhibiting a second-order symmetry-breaking transition.

description: By using evolutionary algorithm USPEX, we have predicted a number of stable zirconium carbides. In addition to the well-known rocksalt-type stoichiometric ZrC (Fm-3m), present prediction also identifies five stable substoichiometric zirconium carbides adopting rocksalt-type structures with ordered carbon vacancies, Zr8C7 (P-1), Zr6C5 (C2/m), Zr5C4 (P-1), Zr3C2 (C2/m), and Zr2C (Fd-3m). The effects of carbon vacancies on structural and mechanical properties are investigated. We highlight that the distribution of carbon vacancies has significant influence on volume, Pugh's ratio, and hardness. We further propose that hardness can be enhanced by replacing carbon vacancies with suitable elements, in particular nitrogen and oxygen.

Early identification of hearing loss due to otitis media: The utility of quality of life questions, patient history, and caregiver demographics in the assessment of hearing status
Creators: name: Molino, Arlene C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: Objective: To identify questions that may be asked of caregivers to assess the likelihood of hearing loss in a child with a history of otitis media. Methods: This study utilized data collected from caregivers of children presenting to pediatric or otolaryngology practices. Primary analysis involved statistical comparison of selected characteristics based on history of otitis media and quality of life measures for children who were found to have hearing loss (pure-tone average (PTA) > 20dB HL of better hearing ear or soundfield) and children with normal hearing. Results: Children whose caregivers reported a moderate to severe problem with physical suffering due to ear infections were more likely to have hearing loss than children whose caregivers reported less of a problem (p<0.05). A similar trend was found for caregivers who felt their children had a moderate to severe problem with hearing loss (p<0.05). Children felt to have spent more than 50 percent of the previous three months with ear infections or fluid were more likely to have hearing loss (p<0.05). Daycare attendance and age at first ear infection were not significantly associated with hearing status. Non-smoking caregivers were more likely to have children with hearing loss. This result was not significant in bivariate analyses, and was only significant during logistic regression modeling. Conclusions: Caregiver assessment of physical suffering, hearing loss, and time spent with ear infections in the previous three months may be useful for early diagnosis of hearing loss and provision of appropriate care in children with otitis media.
Fractional Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems, II

description: We continue the study of a non self-adjoint fractional three-term Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem (with a potential term) formed by the composition of a left Caputo and left-Riemann-Liouville fractional integral under {\it Dirichlet type} boundary conditions. We study the existence and asymptotic behavior of the real eigenvalues and show that for certain values of the fractional differentiation parameter $α$, $0<α<1$, there is a finite set of real eigenvalues and that, for $α$ near $1/2$, there may be none at all. As $α\to 1^-$ we show that their number becomes infinite and that the problem then approaches a standard Dirichlet Sturm-Liouville problem with the composition of the operators becoming the operator of second order differentiation.

Extragalactic HI Surveys

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We review the results of HI line surveys of extragalactic sources in the local Universe. In the last two decades major efforts have been made in establishing on firm statistical grounds the properties of the HI source population, the two most prominent being the HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS) and the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA survey (ALFALFA). We review the choices of technical parameters in the design and optimization of spectro-photometric "blind" HI surveys, which for the first time produced extensive HI-selected data sets. Particular attention is given to the relationship between optical and HI populations, the differences in their clustering properties and the importance of HI-selected samples in contributing to the understanding of apparent conflicts between observation and theory on the abundance of low mass halos. The last section of this paper provides an overview of currently ongoing and planned surveys which will explore the cosmic evolution of properties of the HI population.

description: We introduce shape fluctuations in a liquid-crystalline system by considering an elementary Maier--Saupe lattice model for a mixture of uniaxial and biaxial molecules. Shape variables are treated in the annealed (thermalized) limit. We analyze the thermodynamic properties of this system in terms of temperature $T$, concentration $c$ of intrinsically biaxial molecules, and a parameter $Δ$ associated with the degree of biaxiality of the molecules. At the mean-field level, we use standard techniques of statistical mechanics to draw global phase diagrams, which are shown to display a rich structure, including uniaxial and biaxial nematic phases, a reentrant ordered region, and many distinct multicritical points. Also, we use the formalism to write an expansion of the free energy in order to make contact with the Landau--de Gennes theory of nematic phase transitions.
