description: Topological materials are characterized by an electronic band structure with nontrivial topological properties. In this paper, we introduce a basis of operators for the linear space of operators spanned by charge-neutral fermion bilinears. These band projected density operators are constructed using directly the eigenfunctions of the electronic energy band structure and there is no need to assume a flat Berry curvature. As a result, our set of operators has a wider range of validity and is sensitive to physical phenomena which are not detectable in the flat curvature limit. In particular, we show that the Berry monopole configuration of Weyl semimetal give rises to a nonvanishing Jacobiator for these band projected density operators, implying the emergence of nonassociativity at the location of the Weyl nodes. The resulting nonassociativity observes the fundamental identity, the defining property of the Nambu bracket and so one may call this a nonassociative Nambu geometry. We also derive the corresponding uncertainty principle.

Subjects: subject: Geometric Topology (math.GT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The simple loop conjecture for 3-manifolds states that every 2-sided immersion of a closed surface into a 3-manifold is either injective on fundamental groups or admits a compression. This can be viewed as a generalization of the Loop Theorem to immersed surfaces. We prove the conjecture in the case that the target 3-manifold admits a geometric structure modeled on Sol.

description: In this article, we construct a class of constant curvature and spherically symmetric thin-shell Lorentzian wormholes in F(R) theories of gravity and we analyze their stability under perturbations preserving the symmetry. We find that the junction conditions determine the equation of state of the matter at the throat. As a particular case, we consider configurations with mass and charge. We obtain that stable static solutions are possible for suitable values of the parameters of the model.

Barriers and Facilitators to the Transition from Pediatric to Adult Cancer Survivorship Care
Creators: name: Farrell, Jordyn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: As more pediatric cancer patients survive their diagnosis, these patients will begin to experience side effects caused by their cancer and treatment. It is critical that these individuals continue to receive long-term follow-up that can monitor for the emergence of these late effects and provide treatment as quickly as possible. However, many of these patients continue to be seen by their pediatric provider or drop out of follow-up completely. This review drew from literature in the field in order to identify the barriers that stakeholders in this transition process are experiencing as well as interventions or experiences that could facilitate a successful transition. Results indicated that a substantial barrier for pediatric providers, patients, and family caregivers was a lack of trust in the adult providers to provide a similar level of care to the pediatric providers. For adult providers, a lack of resources, as well as a lack of knowledge in such a highly-specialized area as late effects of pediatric cancer patients were obstacles in volunteering to accept new adolescent and young adult patients into their practice. Health systems are working with a lack of resources, as well as problems establishing formal connections between pediatric and adult providers. However, if a pediatric cancer treatment program can build the knowledge of adult providers, as well as patients and their families, this can assist in reducing the problems around the lack of trust in adult providers to provide high quality care to these patients. In addition, the establishment of early communication and formal linkages between the pediatric and adult providers has been shown to smooth the transition to a new doctor and reduce the amount of uncertainty and fear that patients may experience.

Relationship between Fujikawa's Method and the Background Field Method for the Scale Anomaly

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We show the equivalence between Fujikawa's method for calculating the scale anomaly and the diagrammatic approach to calculating the effective potential via the background field method, for an $O(N)$ symmetric scalar field theory. Fujikawa's method leads to a sum of terms, each one superficially in one-to-one correspondence with a vacuum diagram of the 1-loop expansion. From the viewpoint of the classical action, the anomaly results in a breakdown of the Ward identities due to a scale-dependence of the couplings, whereas in terms of the effective action, the anomaly is the result of the breakdown of Noether's theorem due to explicit symmetry breaking terms of the effective potential.

description: We present the TRIQS/DFTTools package, an application based on the TRIQS library that connects this toolbox to realistic materials calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). In particular, TRIQS/DFTTools together with TRIQS allows an efficient implementation of DFT plus dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) calculations. It supplies tools and methods to construct Wannier functions and to perform the DMFT self-consistency cycle in this basis set. Post-processing tools, such as band-structure plotting or the calculation of transport properties are also implemented. The package comes with a fully charge self-consistent interface to the Wien2k band structure code, as well as a generic interface that allows to use TRIQS/DFTTools together with a large variety of DFT codes. It is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPLv3).

description: The key objectives of drug enforcement are to limit the availability and consumption of illicit drugs while reducing broader market-related harms such as corruption, fear of crime, and violence that are associated with the illicit drug trade. Given that drug enforcement seeks to prevent drug- and market-related harms, understanding whether and to what extent the “cure causes harm” is an important research agenda. Indeed, two previous systematic narrative reviews found a strong positive link between drug enforcement intensity and levels of violence. Based on this, we proposed the following research question: Does targeted high-level drug enforcement increase cartel-linked violence?

T-odd correlations from top-quark CEDM in lepton plus jets top-pair events
Creators: name: Hayreter, Alper
name: Valencia, German
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: There exist several recent studies of the top-quark CEDM in the context of searching for CP violating signals in top-quark pair production at the LHC. Most of these studies constrain the CEDM either from deviations in the top-pair cross section from its standard model value, or from T-odd asymmetries in the dimuon channel. Motivated by ATLAS and CMS interest, we extend the study of T-odd asymmetries to the lepton plus jets channel. At the parton level, using MadGraph, we identify the most promising signals and their statistical sensitivity. We find that the signals with larger sensitivity to the CEDM require distinguishing between $b$ and $\bar{b}$ jets and propose a simple way to address this.

Disruptive Innovations in Primary Care: A Health System Perspective
Creators: name: Patel, Neerali
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: In the United States, traditional primary care models have faced many challenges in delivering patient-centric solutions. This has led to the emergence of novel business models that seek to add patient value and offer unique services by targeting current unmet patient needs. These new business models, also called disruptive innovations, are transforming the primary care landscape to be more affordable, accessible, and convenient. The goal of this paper was to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge of healthcare disruption and health system application by (1) examining the strategies for implementing disruptive innovations in the larger health system setting (2) identify the key barriers for implementing disruptive innovations in larger health systems and (3) describe the expected impacts of disrupting a large incumbent system and traditional primary care model. Methods incorporated key informant interviews and were guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). During analysis, it was found that for disruptive primary care models to be fully deployed, creating a culture of innovation at the organizational level and overcoming barriers in the inner setting domain are crucial. While disrupting healthcare is challenging, smaller entrants have been successful and it will become increasingly critical for health systems to consider ways to 'disrupt themselves.'

Uptake of Automated Insulin Delivery Systems: Costs and Insurance Reimbursement
Creators: name: Zickler, Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Objective: In the next few years, many advances are expected in automated insulin delivery systems for patients with diabetes. However, these technologies will be expensive. With this, many questions surround the uptake of automated insulin delivery systems. This study examines the cost considerations for the uptake of these devices and the most important factors influencing insurance coverage from key stakeholder perspectives. Methods: This is a qualitative study based on interviews with individuals representing a diabetes professional organization, a device company and patients (Type 1 diabetics). Codes were assigned to interview responses, which were grouped by specific aim and stakeholder. A data matrix was used to identify reoccurring themes and patterns among stakeholders. Results: The main themes related to cost considerations were costs vs. benefits and complexity of the devices. The main factors influencing insurance coverage were a focus on short term outcomes, total cost of care for diabetics, an absence of research / data and upfront cost barriers for automated insulin delivery. Conclusions: To increase uptake of automated insulin delivery systems, my findings indicate the need to improve the technology largely by simplifying and reducing the complexity of the devices. Processes also need to be simplified for obtaining the device and securing ongoing supplies. Lastly, additional research is needed to show that automated insulin delivery is effective at improving outcomes for a broader range of Type 1 diabetics to support more extensive insurance coverage.

description: We analyze the dynamics of Josephson vortex states in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling by using the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. In 1D, both in homogeneous and harmonically trapped systems, we report on stationary states containing doubly charged, static Josephson vortices. In multidimensional systems, we find stable Josephson vortices in a regime of parameters typical of current experiments with $^{87}$Rb atoms. In addition, we discuss the instability regime of Josephson vortices in disk-shaped condensates, where the snake instability operates and vortex dipoles emerge. We study the rich dynamics that they exhibit in different regimes of the spin-orbit coupled condensate depending on the orientation of the Josephson vortices.

We combine the AdS/CFT correspondence and the second Randall-Sundrum (RSII) model to establish a relationship between the RSII braneworld cosmology and the boundary metric induced by the time dependent bulk geometry. In the framework of the Friedmann Robertson Walker cosmology we discuss some physically interesting scenarios involving the RSII and holographic braneworlds.

description: The global energy crisis that began in fall 2021 and the following spike in energy price constitute a major challenge for the world economy which risks undermining the post-COVID-19 recovery. In this paper, we develop and validate a new macroeconomic agent-based model with an endogenous energy sector to analyse the role of energy in the functioning of a complex adaptive system and assess the effects of energy shocks on the economic dynamics. The economic system is populated by heterogeneous agents, i.e., households, firms and banks, who take optimal decision rules and interact in decentralized markets characterized by limited information. After calibrating the model on US quarterly macroeconomic data, we investigate the economic and distributional effects of different types of energy shocks, that is an exogenous increase in the price of natural resources such as oil or gas and a decrease in the energy firms' productivity. We find that whereas the two energy shocks entail similar effects at the aggreagate level, the distribution of gains and losses across sectors is largely driven by the subsequent impact on the relative energy price, which varies depending on the type of shock. Our results suggest that, in order to design effective measures in response to energy crises, policymakers need to carefully take into account the nature of energy shocks and the resulting distributional effects.

Evaluating the Use of Community Health Workers to Provide Maternal Healthcare Services in Haiti
Creators: name: Fross, Caitlin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of community health workers (CHWs) who provide maternal health care in reducing maternal mortality rates in Haiti. Methods: This study consists of three components: (1) a literature review to describe the Haitian health system and the current role of CHWs in providing maternal healthcare; (2) stakeholder interviews to solicit varied perspectives on the viability of engaging CHWs to provide maternal healthcare services in Haiti; and (3) a conceptual model to estimate the impact of two CHW interventions, promotion of skilled care for childbirth and intermittent preventive treatment of malaria (IPTp), on the maternal mortality ratio (MMR). Results: Haiti's fragmented health system is ill-equipped to address the health needs of its population. Poor outcomes, such as high MMR, are due in part to a lack of human resources. The presence of CHWs offers an opportunity to fill a gap in resources and reduce MMR. By offering prenatal care services at the community level, CHWs may be able to lower rates of maternal mortality and link patients with the formal healthcare system. Conclusions: CHWs are currently involved in the implementation of both governmental and non-governmental healthcare programs in Haiti. They serve as the link between communities and the formal healthcare system; however, their capabilities in maternal healthcare are limited. Due to a combination of social norms and lack of technical competencies, CHWs are ill-suited to provide childbirth assistance or other highly skilled maternal healthcare services. However, given their position in the community, knowledge of the local context, and increased integration into the formal healthcare system, CHWs are well positioned to provide prenatal healthcare services and connect women to better skilled maternal health care.

description: Spectroscopy of a $^{10}_Λ$Be hypernucleus was carried out at JLab Hall C using the $(e,e^{\prime}K^{+})$ reaction. A new magnetic spectrometer system (SPL+HES+HKS), specifically designed for high resolution hypernuclear spectroscopy, was used to obtain an energy spectrum with a resolution of 0.78 MeV (FWHM). The well-calibrated spectrometer system of the present experiment using the $p(e,e^{\prime}K^{+})Λ,Σ^{0}$ reactions allowed us to determine the energy levels, and the binding energy of the ground state peak (mixture of 1$^{-}$ and 2$^{-}$ states) was obtained to be B$_Λ$=8.55$\pm$0.07(stat.)$\pm$0.11(sys.) MeV. The result indicates that the ground state energy is shallower than that of an emulsion study by about 0.5 MeV which provides valuable experimental information on charge symmetry breaking effect in the $ΛN$ interaction.

Engagement between traditional and private equity stakeholders in emerging global health care markets
Creators: name: Bristol, Lesley

description: Rising incomes and epidemiological transitions in emerging global health care markets (EGHCM) have contributed to increased demand for health services that surpass public sector capacity. Resource gaps have created new health care opportunities, and the private for-profit sector is rapidly increasing its level of activity in selected markets. Following the path of private health care delivery, private equity (PE) firms are targeting investments that increase private health system capacity, such as improving health facility infrastructure and the workforce. These investments and activities are often met with resistance by traditional global health stakeholders. The purpose of this research is to explore engagement between traditional, private for-profit and PE stakeholders as a means of promoting intersections of goals and strategies. The EGHCM landscape is viewed through three themes: (1) emerging health market trends; (2) indicators of preparedness for for-profit health care delivery/PE investment; and (3) investment strategy themes. A literature review utilized multiple sources including PubMed, EBSCOhost Global Health databases and miscellaneous and gray results. This review resulted in 230 database sources. India is used as a case example of the emerging health care landscape. To assess stakeholder engagement, interviews were conducted with informants from traditional and for-profit/PE backgrounds. The EGHCM landscape and expert insights lay a foundation for a map of engagement and recommendations to enable improved interaction and alignment between stakeholders.The for-profit private sector and influence of PE has played an increasingly significant role in EGHCM. It is crucial to have traditional stakeholders and newer actors engage in a meaningful manner to align health care strategies. Achieving better engagement provides a necessary pathway for collectively working towards shared goals for improved health outcomes and impact.

Excitation of coupled stellar motions in the Galactic Disk by orbiting satellites

description: We use a set of high-resolution N-body simulations of the Galactic disk to study its interactions with the population of satellites predicted cosmologically. One simulation illustrates that multiple passages of massive satellites with different velocities through the disk generate a wobble, having the appearance of rings in face-on projections of the stellar disk. They also produce flares in the disk outer parts and gradually heat the disk through bending waves. A different numerical experiment shows that an individual satellite as massive as the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy passing through the disk will drive coupled horizontal and vertical oscillations of stars in underdense regions, with small significant associated heating. This experiment shows that vertical excursions of stars in these low-density regions can exceed 1 kpc in the Solar neighborhood, resembling the coherent vertical oscillations recently detected locally. They can also induce non-zero vertical streaming motions as large as 10-20 km s$^{-1}$, consistent with recent observations in the Galactic disk. This phenomenon appears as a local ring, with modest associated disk heating.

Supplementary Materials for "How to Avoid Reidentification with Proper Anonymization"- Comment on "Unique in the shopping mall: on the reidentifiability of credit card metadata"

description: The study by De Montjoye et al. ("Science", 30 January 2015, p. 536) claimed that most individuals can be reidentified from a deidentified credit card transaction database and that anonymization mechanisms are not effective against reidentification. Such claims deserve detailed quantitative scrutiny, as they might seriously undermine the willingness of data owners and subjects to share data for research. In a recent Technical Comment published in "Science" (18 March 2016, p. 1274), we demonstrate that the reidentification risk reported by De Montjoye et al. was significantly overestimated (due to a misunderstanding of the reidentification attack) and that the alleged ineffectiveness of anonymization is due to the choice of poor and undocumented methods and to a general disregard of 40 years of anonymization literature. The technical comment also shows how to properly anonymize data, in order to reduce unequivocal reidentifications to zero while retaining even more analytical utility than with the poor anonymization mechanisms employed by De Montjoye et al. In conclusion, data owners, subjects and users can be reassured that sound privacy models and anonymization methods exist to produce safe and useful anonymized data. Supplementary materials detailing the data sets, algorithms and extended results of our study are available here. Moreover, unlike the De Montjoye et al.'s data set, which was never made available, our data, anonymized results, and anonymization algorithms can be freely downloaded from http://crises-deim.urv.cat/opendata/SPD_Science.zip

Creators: name: Clarke, Alina
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: DKT Nigeria is a nonprofit organization working to accelerate the uptake of a new injectable contraceptive, Sayana Press. DKT Nigeria integrates five innovative business activities (Social Marketing, Revenue Generation, Cross-Subsidization, Product Reengineering, and Optimized HR) across its marketing, finance, and operating strategies to disseminate Sayana Press.  This case study uses causal loop diagramming to synthesize data around the five innovative business activities in order to 1) Describe DKT Nigeria’s experience in executing its strategies for Sayana Press, and 2) Recommend additional data collection to further extend understanding of how to support the capacity of disruptive innovation for modern contraception uptake in Nigeria. The organization’s experience with Optimized HR emerged as a key finding because of its relevance to the ability target non-consumption of modern contraception and capacity for market disruption. Recommendations for additional data collection and clarification are suggested as next steps to continue assessing and supporting the capacity for DKT Nigeria’s disruptive innovation for Sayana Press uptake.
