Exploring the Role of Interoception in Adaptive Eating Behavior
Creators: name: Harper, Adelaide
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Recent literature supports the role of interoception –the ability to detect and process visceral signals– in adaptive eating behaviors; however, researchers have yet to explore the individual relationships between adaptive eating behavior and the three facets of interoception: interoceptive accuracy (IAcc), interoceptive sensibility (IS), and interoceptive metacognitive awareness (IAw). The objective of this study was to determine the individual relationships between the three facets of interoception and adaptive eating behavior; we also explored a potential moderation of the relationship between metacognitive awareness and adaptive eating behavior by negative appraisals about one’s interoceptive signals. College students (n=81,  70.4% female, 26.5% male, and 3.06% non-binary) completed a heart rate discrimination task,  self-report measures of interoceptive sensibility and their appraisals about their interoceptive signals and an eating in the absence of hunger (EiAH) behavioral paradigm. Regression analyses revealed a significant interaction between negative body appraisals and IAw in predicting EiAH, suggesting that when participants report significantly lower intensity of interoceptive signals, and lower negative interpretations of these signals, higher metacognitive awareness promotes less eating in the absence of hunger. In contrast, when participants report more intense and more distressing appraisals of interoceptive signals, higher metacognitive awareness promotes greater eating in the absence of hunger  Future research should not only expand on the nuanced roles of the facets of interoception on adaptive eating behaviors, but also investigate the development and behavioral implications of affective appraisals of interoception as it relates to adaptive eating behavior.

Subjects: Josep Palau i Fabre; narrativa catalana contemporánea; personajes femeninos; mimetismo

description: La noción de mimetismo propuesta por el escritor catalán Josep Palau i Fabre debe relacionarse necesariamente con la desintegración del yo y también con un proceso de alienación de la identidad, conceptos fundamentales en el conjunto de su obra literaria. Después de una breve descripción del funcionamiento de ese mecanismo de interrogación existencial, el artículo propone una caracterización del mimetismo femenino tomando como base el análisis de los personajes femeninos que aparecen en la obra narrativa de Palau, formada por cinco volúmenes de cuentos.

Exploring Novel Methodological Approaches for the Analysis of Electroencephalogram Data: Machine Learning and Group Iterative Multiple Model Estimation
Creators: name: Baral, Suryadyuti
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Machine learning, particularly Support Vector Machines (SVM), has been widely utilized in Electroencephalogram (EEG) research to identify significant information within time points related to stimuli. However, alternative models may offer comparable performance. In the present study, we re-analyzed datasets from experiments by Bae & Luck (2018, 2019b) using K-Nearest Neighbors, Naïve Bayes, Random Forest and Adaptive Boosting. We address discrepancies between behavioral outcomes and decoding results in Bae and Luck’s motion perception study from 2019. We replicated the results from Bae and Luck's 2018 study using the other algorithms and explored the possibility of one model outperforming the others. While no single model emerged superior based solely on decoding accuracy, converging results from multiple models helped reconcile discrepancies in the 2019 experiment. Additionally, for Bae and Luck’s 2018 study, we explored neural mechanisms underlying significant time point clusters identified by our machine learning algorithms. Implementing Group Iterative Multiple Model Estimation (GIMME) in EEG research for the first time, we probed differences in connectivity between spatial attention and working memory using the paradigm. Our findings suggest that GIMME complements traditional machine learning models, uncovering connectivity differences not apparent in decoding results. However, challenges remain in establishing a proper measurement model and addressing estimation singularities. Successful resolution of these issues in future research will lead to a more robust exploration of effective neural connectivity using EEG.

description: Lo studio intende mettere a fuoco il ruolo di Carmen Martín Gaite all’interno del percorso di autocoscienza femminile, nella Spagna nella seconda metà del XX secolo. Martín Gaite, saggista e traduttrice costruisce un discorso sinergico di intertestualità che, insieme al potere costruttivo della memoria nella creazione del reale, propone un modo alternativo, ‘altro’, proprio della scrittura al femminile. La scrittura con Martín Gaite diventa luogo, ‘elsewhere’, fisico e simbolico, della costruzione dell’identità femminile, lontana dal ruolo tradizionale imposta dal maschile nella società e anche nel logos.

Cooking up Identities: The Experiences of South Asian Women in N.C.’s Triangle Area
Creators: name: Hariharan Yasodha, Bashi
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: This paper emphasizes South Asian-American stories and their presence in the narrative of the South. I bring together literature from previous scholars in food, cultural, and gender studies and put them in conversation with eleven separate oral history interviews conducted with South Asian women as a part of my research I examine how food, a particularly salient marker of cultures, and how it operates in forming immigrants’ identities. I also attempt to unpack the gendered implications of food-making processes and how they are transformed across time and space in Desi immigrant kitchens. Through this, this thesis ultimately contributes to painting a fuller picture of South Asian women in the South and combat efforts to disappear diverse and individual Asian American histories in favor of flattened narratives.
L’arte in letteratura: Almudena Grandes e “el territorio de la emoción”
Creators: name: Notaro, Giuseppina

Subjects: Arte; emozioni; donna; letteratura contemporanea; Grandes

description: In molti romanzi contemporanei si fa riferimento all'arte, in tutte le sue declinazioni. Colui che crea con le parole cerca di produrre un effetto speculare tra la sua scrittura e il mezzo che utilizzano le altre forme d'arte. Nelle opere di molte scrittrici, l'arte acquisisce un'importanza fondamentale, e molte volte è strettamente legata e intrecciata al sentimento, al territorio in cui nascono le emozioni. Almudena Grandes presenta, in alcune opere, dei personaggi che intrattengono un rapporto intimo con l'arte, che si rivela salvifica e vivificante, come nei romanzi Te llamaré Viernes (1991) e Castillos de cartón (2004) e nel racconto “Mozart, y Brahms, y Corelli” (2005). I personaggi femminili, in particolare, rappresentano l’asse portante del sentimento che scaturisce dall’arte.

description: Gli autori della Generación X spagnola manipolano la velocità del presente, il dialogo tra letteratura e realtà. Un fenomeno caricato di violenza, brand e iperrealtà spesso letto, erroneamente, come prettamente maschile. Gabriela Bustelo, con l’intromissione ironica del reality nel romanzo e Lucía Etxebarria con i suoi giochi metanarrativi, sfidano i ruoli di genere nella costruzione di un’identità femminile filtrata dalla tecnologia. Un'identità virtuale, un’idea di letteratura che riflette il desiderio di uno spazio letterario; uno spazio dove riconfigurare, attraverso la fiction, la realtà.

subject: FOS: Materials engineering

description: This thesis describes theoretical and experimental research conducted by the author to determine the mechanical properties of the timber species cypress pine in the unseasoned "green" condition as supplied from New South Wales and Queensland. Approximately 340 sticks of cypress pine were tested in two size groups, 75x50mm and 125x38mm. The material was tested initially in a 3 point configuration in the full delivered length to obtain a comparison of the flexural stiffness exhibited by both size groups. The sticks were then divided into two groups in each size for bending and tension tests. It was ensured that suppliers had equal numbers of sticks in each test. The bending tests were completed in a 4 point configuration with sticks half the original length. The tension tests were conducted with the full 3.5m lengths. The sticks were checked for size, moisture content and density.

Predictability in caregiver signaling: Investigating the relationship between socioeconomic status and entropy
Creators: name: Wicaksana, Masita
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: The quality and consistency of caregiving is essential for maintaining healthy child development. Novel research focusing on the unpredictability of caregiver behavior—more specifically the signaling—has demonstrated that unpredictable caregiving is associated with poor cognitive function across species. Given that macro-level determinants such as socioeconomic status (SES) also impact caregiving, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between SES and entropy (a measure of unpredictability in sensory signals) in caregivers of 4- to 7-year-olds. The moderating role of partner support was also investigated to explore potential buffering effects from the social environment. Secondary data analyses from the Wellness Health and Life Experiences study (N = 95) were conducted utilizing questionnaires and video-recorded parent-child interactions. No significant relationships between any indicators of subjective and objective SES and caregiver entropy were found, and partner support did not demonstrate a moderating effect. However, this study represents a first step towards understanding the influence of social determinants on caregiving and highlights the importance of conducting future research to understand potential mediators and moderators in the relationship between SES and unpredictable caregiving.

description: Recently, a mechanism of formation of light bullets (LBs) in wide-aperture passively modelocked lasers was proposed. The conditions for existence and stability of these bullets, found in the long cavity limit, were studied theoretically under the mean field (MF) approximation using a Haus-type model equation. In this paper we relax the MF approximation and study LB formation in a model of a wide-aperture three section laser with a long diffractive section and short absorber and gain sections. To this end we derive a nonlocal delay-differential equation (NDDE) model and demonstrate by means of numerical simulations that this model supports stable LBs. We observe that the predictions about the regions of existence and stability of the LBs made previously using MF laser models agree well with the results obtained using the NDDE model. Moreover, we demonstrate that the general conclusions based upon the Haus model that regard the robustness of the LBs remain true in the NDDE model valid beyond the MF approximation, when the gain, losses and diffraction per cavity round-trip are not small perturbations anymore.
Repurposed or Unpurposed? The Evolution of Chicago Public School Buildings Closed in 2013

description: In 2013, Chicago Public Schools (CPS) closed 50 schools, leaving 44 school buildings to be sold and repurposed for new uses across the city. This study investigates the process of repurposing school buildings in Chicago and the extent to which these 44 buildings are still serving their respective communities. Eighteen interviews were conducted with academics, journalists, CPS personnel, community members affected by closed schools, and buyers of school buildings. The findings of this study show that chief among the factors that influence the success of repurposing these school buildings are: (1) differences in the vested interests of stakeholders in the closings and repurposing process, (2) inadequate communication regarding the process of closing and repurposing, and (3) obstacles to successful sales and repurposing. This study concludes that the influence of these factors has prevented the majority of the 44 school buildings closed in 2013 from being successfully repurposed.
Digging Deeper: Exploring the Relationship of the Rooney Rule and Coaching Diversity in the NFL

description: This paper analyzes the relationship between the Rooney Rule and coaching diversity in the National Football League (NFL). The Rooney Rule is a policy implemented in 2003 by the NFL to address long-standing concerns over minority representation among coaches. The Rooney Rule stipulates that for every head-coaching vacancy, at least one minority candidate must be interviewed for the position. In this paper, I provide input to the research question: To what extent has the Rooney Rule improved minority representation among high-level NFL coaches? The NFL claims the Rooney Rule to be a policy success. However, existing research on the impact of the Rooney Rule suggests mixed findings. Some publications claim that performance, not race, is the primary driver for selecting coaching candidates for high-level positions. Other publications attribute all-time highs in minority Head Coaching hires almost directly to the Rooney Rule. To better understand the Rooney Rule’s effectiveness, I conducted comparisons of minority hiring rates across two different time periods for the following three topics: the comparability of diversity improvements to the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the Major League Baseball (MLB), the disparities of racial coaching distribution by team, and the difference of hiring rates of Coordinators among white and minority Head Coaches. Informed by my research findings and discussions in existing literature, my ultimate policy recommendation for increasing diversity within the coaching ranks is to mandate expansion of the Rooney Rule to include Coordinator-level coaching positions, such that minorities are better positioned to become future Head Coaches.

Convolutional Neural Network based Enhancement and Restoration of Mouse Brain Light Sheet Images

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Tissue cleared followed by Light Sheet Imaging is a technique that can be utilized to obtain cellular resolution images of whole brains without the need for physical sectioning of the brain. My advisor’s lab is involved in quantifying all the nuclei within the brain in mouse models harboring genetic variants associated with autism. Quantification of nuclei necessitates obtaining images at very high resolutions, which increases imaging time and costs. Many studies have shown that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) can be utilized to enhance images taken at lower resolutions, and therefore at less cost, to a comparable quality of images obtained at the desired higher resolutions. This study aims to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) to restore and enhance 3D microscopy images of mouse brains taken by the Stein Lab and determine the effectiveness of this imputation. My results show that improvements in image quality are obtained via this method, with imputed images yielding better results in nuclei counting segmentation models compared to the initial low-resolution images. However, at this time this improvement is not as effective and reliable as desired and does not provide a valid alternative to imaging at higher resolutions. Improvements to this technique such as increased training data, refinement of the segmentation algorithm and utilizing images with smaller differences in magnification for training of the model may yield better results.

description: Genus Bresilia Calman, 1896
Remarks. The family Bresiliidae is presently composed of two genera, Bresilia (containing seven described species, including the new species described in this study) and Encantada Wicksten, 1989 (monotypic, including only E. spinoculata Wicksten, 1989 from the eastern Pacific). The six previously known species of Bresilia can be arranged in two groups based on the development of the epistomal process, the presence or absence of an exopodal flagellum on the first maxilliped and the structure of the third abdominal tergite. The first group, named here as B. atlantica group, is characterized by the lack of an epistomal process, the absence of an exopodal flagellum on the first maxilliped and the smooth, gently convex tergum of the third abdominal somite. Two species, B. atlantica and B. corsicana, are referred to this group. The second, B. antipodarum group, is characterized by the possession of an elongate epistomal process, the presence of an exopodal flagellum on the first maxilliped and the strongly produced, sometimes laterally compressed tergum of the third abdominal somite. This group contains four species, B. antipodarum, B. briankensleyi, B. plumifera and B. saldanhai. The new species described in this study is also referable to the B. antipodarum group. Bruce (2005b) suggested the possible taxonomic significance of the development of the epistomal process. It is remarkable that E. spinoculata shows similarity to the B. antipodarum group in the dorsally carinate third abdominal tergite and the presence of exopodal flagellum on the first maxilliped (Wicksten 1989; Bruce 1990a). Future study may eventually reveal that these two groups warrant full generic status.

Evaluation of nurse-directed sedation guidelines for mechanically ventilated patients
Creators: name: Ogg, Sandra
Publisher: name: CQUniversity
Year: 2022
Subjects: Health Care

description: Critically ill patients who need to be mechanically ventilated are usually given sedatives by continuous intravenous infusion but this method of administration has been shown to prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation due to the effects of oversedation. However, the literature from overseas studies has shown that the use of nurse directed sedation guidelines incorporating low rates of continuous intravenous sedatives with sedation scoring, to ensure that sedation is sufficient but not excessive, can reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation. This descriptive study evaluated whether patient clinical outcomes could be improved using well designed sedation guidelines for nurses and also assessed the quality of sedation provided with this sedation practice. Clinical outcomes were measured in a group of patients before and after the introduction of the developed sedation guidelines. A convenience sample consisted of adult patients (older than 18 years of age) who were treated on a ventilator for more than 12 hours and received continuous intravenous sedation. This study found differences in all the measured clinical outcomes between these two groups. A relatively shorter duration of sedation, weaning time, duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay ICU were found in the "after" group compared with the outcomes among the "before" group. However, this difference was not statistically significant. These study findings were consistent with the results of previous investigations, which demonstrated a relationship between specific sedation practices and the duration of mechanical ventilation.

Time Allocation and Physical Exertion Analysis Among Samburu Pastoralist Children of Kenya
Creators: name: Plemmons, Jackson
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: In contemporary East African pastoralist societies, children make substantial economic contributions to their family’s household and settlements. Qualitative observations indicate that pastoralist children perform a variety of household economic activities such as fetching firewood, getting water, monitoring younger siblings, helping to prepare meals, and herding small livestock (i.e., goats and sheep) for their individual families. Quantitatively, little is known regarding the extent of the kid’s activities in terms of activity duration, physical exertion levels, and energetic requirements of such daily tasks performed by Samburu children, as well as the influence such activities have on formation of the division of labor (both gender and age based).  In order to establish a better quantitative baseline of the overall physical, energetic, and caloric demands on boys and girls, my study collected and analyzed physical activities of Samburu children. The daily activities and behaviors were observed and recorded using a focal-follow and time allocation methodology over 24- and 48-hour periods, sampling 9 boys and 10 girls. Physical activity levels (PALs) were examined through the use of non-invasive Actigraph accelerometers and Polar heart rate monitors. An association between high heart rates and activities that involve playing and herding was identified. For these pastoralist children, the most physically demanding activities were found to be playing and herding, but the frequency of these activities varied across the individuals observed. The implications of these observations are discussed within the context of energy balance during growth and development in an energy-poor environment.

description: Tigers (Panthera tigris) are flagship big cats and attract extensive public attention due to their charismatic features and endangered status. Despite this, little is known about their prehistoric lineages and detailed evolutionary histories. Through palaeogenomic analyses, we identified a Pleistocene tiger from Northeastern China, dated to beyond the limits of radiocarbon dating (greater than 43 500 years ago). We used a simulated dataset and different reads processing pipelines to test the validity of our results and confirmed that, in both mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies, this ancient individual belongs to a previously unknown lineage that diverged prior to modern tiger diversification. Based on the mitochondrial genome, the divergence time of this ancient lineage was estimated to be approximately 268 Ka (95% CI: 187–353 Ka), doubling the known age of tigers' maternal ancestor to around 125 Ka (95% CI: 88–168 Ka). Furthermore, by combining our findings with putative mechanisms underlying the discordant mito-nuclear phylogenetic placement for the South China tigers, we proposed a more complex scenario of tiger evolution that would otherwise be missed using data from modern tigers only. Our study provides the first glimpses of the genetic antiquity of tigers and demonstrates the utility of aDNA-based investigation for further understanding tiger evolution.
Analyzing the Effects of Postpartum Support on Maternal and Child Outcomes

description: The prevalence of postpartum depression (PPD) and anxiety (PPA) in the United States is
significant, and the current body of literature demonstrates that these disorders can negatively affect mothers, children, and family systems. Postpartum support, including social support from friends and family, professional support from practitioners like doulas, and structural support in the form of maternity leave, can positively impact maternal mental health and infant development. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the ways in which postpartum support can work to offset the negative impacts of PPD and PPA and improve maternal and child outcomes. To examine this topic, the study employed a literature review as well as qualitative interviews with seven women who have given birth in the last five years. Our findings suggest that there is an overwhelming lack of structural and social support for women in the postpartum period and that interventions have the potential to reduce symptoms of PPD and PPA and therefore generate positive outcomes for mothers and their children. Lastly, structural improvements including longer paid parental leave and increasing access to affordable, high-quality childcare are of the utmost importance, and we encourage policymakers to consider these results when creating legislation surrounding this topic.

description: International football has often been described as a soft way for nations to go to war. This analysis is too simplistic, but the reference to warfare is not uninteresting and provides the starting point for this dissertation. Having noticed the national fervour surrounding international football, and recognised warfare’s nationalist builder power, it seeks to explore the extent to which international football and international war are comparable in building nationalism. It adopts an ethno-symbolist perspective on nations and nationalism, hence seen as modern constructions rooted in more ancient cultures and groups. It argues that international football and international war are, indeed, using the same mechanisms to build nationalism, but that this comparison might evolve with globalisation, and, especially, the associated immigration flows and diasporas. More precisely, the first part of the answer argues that within the traditional framework of the nation-state, myth building, tradition shaping, and rivalry constructions are nationalist elements shared by international war and football. The second part is more hypothetical and seeks to explore how football can be a new nationalism vector for diasporas, linking national groups no longer sharing a unique territory. This dissertation illustrates each point with two case studies: a small set of detailed interviews with Dutch people to analyse the importance of football myths in building their nationalism, and a questionnaire, carried online and in person near Paris, with 46 members of the Portuguese community in France, to understand how the role of football in building nationalism might evolve.

How to Eavesdrop on Birds: Evaluating the Effectiveness of Passive Acoustic Monitoring and BirdNET Artificial Intelligence for Avian Population Monitoring
Creators: name: Milano, Amelia

description: Passive acoustic monitoring is growing in popularity as an alternative to point count surveys due to being low maintenance, cost and time efficient, and not inherently subject to human error and biases. However, little is currently known about how passive acoustic monitoring methods may be impacted by environmental variables, which may result in sound attenuation of avian vocalizations, and how this may impact the detectability of specific species. Furthermore, little is understood as to how the effects of these environmental variables may then impact the accuracy of avian vocalization classifiers, such as BirdNET. In this study, we manually listened to recordings obtained via autonomous recordings units to compare the detectability of avian vocalizations obtained on recordings to the results of point count surveys. We then conducted playback experiments to understand the interactions between distance, foliage density, and frequency on the detectability of avian vocalizations as recorded by autonomous recording units. Finally, we analyzed how these environmental variables impacted BirdNET’s ability to accurately classify avian vocalizations. We found that higher frequency avian vocalizations were the most impacted by the effects of distance on vocalization decay. We also found that foliage lessened the interaction between frequency and distance on rate of vocalization decay. Finally, we concluded that while the amplitude of a vocalization impacts BirdNET’s confidence, it was not the sole predictor of confidence output for a given classification.

description: The 1994-96 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals was conducted to measure the kinds and amounts of foods consumed by the U.S. population. A national probability sample of individuals living in households was interviewed in their homes on two non-consecutive days and provided 24-hour recalls of their dietary intake. This report on components of variance provides design-based estimates of the within- and between-person coefficients of variation, based on data collected in 1994, for intakes of 26 nutrients and other dietary constituents for selected sex-age subpopulations.

description: Biogeochemical reactions occurring in soil pore space underpin gaseous emissions measured at macroscopic scales but are difficult to quantify due to their complexity and heterogeneity. We develop a volumetric-average method to calculate aerobic respiration rates analytically from soil with microscopic soil structure represented explicitly. Soil water content in the model is the result of the volumetric-average of the microscopic processes, and it is nonlinearly coupled with temperature and other factors. Since many biogeochemical reactions are driven by oxygen (O2) which must overcome various resistances before reaching reactive microsites from the atmosphere, the volumetric-average results in negative feedback between temperature and soil respiration, with the magnitude of the feedback increasing with soil water content and substrate quality. Comparisons with various experiments show the model reproduces the variation of carbon dioxide emission from soils under different water content and temperature gradients, indicating that it captures the key microscopic processes underpinning soil respiration. We show that alongside thermal microbial adaptation, substrate heterogeneity and microbial turnover and carbon use efficiency, O2 dissolution and diffusion in water associated with soil pore space is another key explanation for the attenuated temperature response of soil respiration and should be considered in developing soil organic carbon models.

description: The antioxidant system of the human body plays a crucial role in maintaining redox homeostasis and has an important protective function. Carotenoids have pronounced antioxidant properties in the neutralization of free radicals. In human skin, carotenoids have a high concentration in the stratum corneum (SC)—the horny outermost layer of the epidermis, where they accumulate within lipid lamellae. Resonance Raman spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy are optical methods that are used to non-invasively determine the carotenoid concentration in the human SC in vivo. It was shown by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy that carotenoids support the entire antioxidant status of the human SC in vivo by neutralizing free radicals and thus, counteracting the development of oxidative stress. This review is devoted to assembling the kinetics of the carotenoids in the human SC in vivo using non-invasive optical and spectroscopic methods. Factors contributing to the changes of the carotenoid concentration in the human SC and their influence on the antioxidant status of the SC in vivo are summarized. The effect of chemotherapy on the carotenoid concentration of the SC in cancer patients is presented. A potential antioxidant-based pathomechanism of chemotherapy-induced hand-foot syndrome and a method to reduce its frequency and severity are discussed.

description: Like other proteins, the natural silk fibroin (SF) extracted from domesticated silkworms can adsorb at the air/water interface and stabilize foam due to its amphiphilic character and surface activity. At the interface, the adsorbed SF molecules experience structural reorganization and form water-insoluble viscoelastic films, which protect foam bubbles from coalescence and rupture. The solution conditions, such as protein concentration, pH, and additives, have significant influences on the molecular adsorption, layer thickness, interfacial mechanical strength, and, thus, on the foaming properties of SF. The understanding of the relationship between the interfacial adsorption, surface viscoelasticity, and foaming properties of SF is very important for the design, preparation, and application of SF foams in different fields.
