description: In an attempt to characterize the structure of eigenvectors of random regular graphs, we investigate the correlations between the components of the eigenvectors associated to different vertices. In addition, we provide numerical observations, suggesting that the eigenvectors follow a Gaussian distribution. Following this assumption, we reconstruct some properties of the nodal structure which were observed in numerical simulations, but were not explained so far. We also show that some statistical properties of the nodal pattern cannot be described in terms of a percolation model, as opposed to the suggested correspondence for eigenvectors of 2 dimensional manifolds.

description: The Effective One-Body formalism of the gravitational two-body problem in general relativity is reconsidered in the light of recent scattering amplitude calculations. Based on the kinematic relationship between momenta and the effective potential, we consider an energy-dependent effective metric describing the scattering in terms of an Effective One-Body problem for the reduced mass. The identification of the effective metric simplifies considerably in isotropic coordinates when combined with a redefined angular momentum map. While the effective energy-dependent metric as expected is not unique, solutions can be chosen perturbatively in the Post-Minkowskian expansion without the need to introduce non-metric corrections. By a canonical transformation, our condition maps to the one based on the standard angular momentum map. Expanding our metric around the Schwarzschild solution we recover the solution based on additional non-metric contributions.

description: In this paper we will discuss the current status of coherent integration with the Navy Prototype Optical Interferometer (NPOI) (Armstrong et al. 2008). Coherent integration relies on being able to phase reference interferometric measurements, which in turn relies on making measurements at multiple wavelengths. We first discuss the generalized group-delay approach, then the meaning of the resulting complex visibilities and then demonstrate how coherent integration can be used to perform very precision measurement of stellar properties. For example, we demonstrate how we can measure the diameter of a star to a precision of one part in 350, and measure properties of binary stars. The complex phase is particularly attractive as a data product because it is not biased in the same way as visibility amplitudes.

Rubidium and cesium as indicators of diet in freshwater fish with particular emphasis on overlap in diet between juvenile sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), and threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
Creators: name: Chiasson, Alyre
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Body burdens of rubidium and cesium were used to assess overlap in diets of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) and threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) in Kennedy, Cultus, and Great Central Lakes, British Columbia and Lake Aleknagik, Alaska, lakes in which competition between sockeye salmon and threespine stickleback has been suggested. Differences in uptake patterns of Cs in juvenile . coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and threespine stickleback were attributable to differences in diet and not physiology. Tissue concentrations of Rb and Cs were examined in threespine stickleback and juvenile sockeye held in wire cages in both the littoral and limnetic zones of Kennedy Lake. Concentrations of Rb were dependent on type of substrate over which fish had fed. When significant differences in concentrations were detected, higher concentrations were associated with the littoral zone. In late May, Cs concentration in fish captured offshore were higher in threespine stickleback than in juvenile sockeye but not in June or July. Neither species tracked Rb and Cs concentrations in zooplankton. In Kennedy, Cultus, Great Central, and Lake Aleknagik, higher concentrations of Cs were found in threespine stickleback captured onshore than in juvenile sockeye captured offshore. In Enos Lake, were there are two varieties of sticklebacks, rubidium concentrations appeared to be modified by feeding over different substrates. In a comparison of squawfish (Ptychocheilus oreqonensis), redside shiners (Richardsonius balteatus), cottids (Cottus asper), and peamouth chub (Mylocheilus caurinus), from Cultus Lake, higher concentrations of Cs were observed in squawfish, in agreement with higher concentrations of Cs reported in piscivores. It was concluded that Rb and Cs concentrations may reflect the extent to which sockeye, stickleback or other species have been feeding onshore or offshore but does not provide a readily quantified measure of the degree of overlap in diet. Present understanding of Rb and Cs in both fish and their prey is insufficient for use of this technique to assess similarity in diet. The method would appear best suited for small lakes with few species.

description: We analyze the Coulomb breakup cross sections of $^{11}$Li and $^6$He nuclei using a three-body model with a density-dependent contact interaction. We show that the concentration of the B(E1) strength near the threshold can be well reproduced with this model. With the help of the calculated B(E1) value, we extract the root-mean-square (rms) distance between the core nucleus and the center of mass of two valence neutrons without resorting to the sum rule, which may suffer from unphysical Pauli forbidden transitions. Together with the empirical rms distance between the neutrons obtained from the matter radius study and also from the three-body correlation study in the break-up reaction, we convert these rms distances to the mean opening angle between the valence neutrons from the core nucleus. We find that the obtained mean opening angles in $^{11}$Li and $^6$He agree with the three-body model predictions.

description: We show that Andreev reflection in a junction between ferromagnetic (F) and superconducting (S) graphene regions is fundamentally different from the common FS junctions. For a weakly doped F graphene with an exchange field $h$ larger than its Fermi energy $E_{\rm F}$, Andreev reflection of massless Dirac fermions is associated with a Klein tunneling through an exchange field p-n barrier between two spin-split conduction and valence subbands. We find that this Andreev-Klein process results in an enhancement of the subgap conductance of a graphene FS junction by $h$ up to the point at which the conductance at low voltages $eV\ll Δ$ is greater than its value for the corresponding non-ferromagnetic junction. We also demonstrate that the Andreev reflection can be of retro or specular types in both convergent and divergent ways with the reflection direction aligned, respectively, closer to and farther from the normal to the junction as compared to the incidence direction.

description: In this paper we use coherently integrated visibilities (see separate paper in these proceedings, Jorgensen et al. 2008) to measure the properties of binary stars. We use only the phase of the complex visibility and not the amplitude. The reason for this is that amplitudes suffer from the calibration effect (the same for coherent and incoherent averages) and thus effectively provide lower accuracy measurements. We demonstrate that the baseline phase alone can be used to measure the separation, orientation and brightness ratio of a binary star, as a function of wavelength.

description: COVID-19 has devastated the entire global community. Vaccines present an opportunity to mitigate the pandemic; however, the effect of vaccination coupled with the behavioral response of the population is not well understood. We propose a model that incorporates two important dynamically varying population behaviors: level of caution and sense of safety. Level of caution increases with the number of infectious cases, while an increasing sense of safety with increased vaccination lowers precautionary behaviors. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first model that can effectively reproduce the complete time history of COVID-19 infections for various regions of the United States and provides relatable measures of dynamic changes in the population behavior and disease transmission rates. We propose a parameter d_I as a direct measure of a population's caution against an infectious disease, that can be obtained from the ongoing new infectious cases. The model provides a method for quantitative measure of critical infectious disease attributes for a population including highest disease transmission rate, effective disease transmission rate, and disease related precautionary behavior. We predict future COVID-19 pandemic trends in the United States accounting for vaccine rollout and behavioral response. Although a high rate of vaccination is critical to quickly end the pandemic, we find that a return towards pre-pandemic social behavior due to increased sense of safety during vaccine deployment, can cause an alarming surge in infections. Our results indicate that at the current rate of vaccination, the new infection cases for COVID-19 in the United States will approach zero by the end of August 2021. The model can be used for predicting future epidemic and pandemic dynamics before and during vaccination.

Wormholes, Void Bubbles and Vacuum Energy Suppression

description: The gargantuan discrepancy between the value of the observed cosmological constant and that expected from the zero-point energy of known matter fields can be eliminated by supposing that on macroscopic scales the overwhelming majority of any volume of spacetime is literal nothingness. This nothingness or void results from the proliferative nucleation of tiny void bubbles (a.k.a. "bubbles of nothing" or "semi wormholes") that expand until their surfaces, presumed to be 2-branes, collide. This process results in a dense packing of void bubbles of various sizes that leaves only the vanishing interstitial regions between bubbles for spacetime to occupy. This vast reduction in the amount of actual space contained within any apparent volume, reduces correspondingly the effective zero-point energy density. Unlike previous wormhole-based attempts at vacuum energy suppression, the current approach is entirely Lorentzian and results in a nonzero value for the cosmological constant.

description: La presente tesi riporta i risultati di uno studio finalizzato alla valutazione delle potenzialità della spettrometria della riflettanza bi-direzionale nello studio di due distinti sistemi agricoli e forestali della provincia di Benevento, il Fortore Beneventano e la Valle Telesina, rappresentativi di più vasti territori circostanti. Lo studio si inquadra nell’ambito di una più ampia attività di ricerca del CNR-ISAFoM di Ercolano su tematiche riguardanti la spettrometria e il telerilevamento delle risorse bio-fisiche della superficie terrestre in ambiente Mediterraneo. Sono stati analizzati circa 168 campioni superficiali di suolo dei due pedo-ambienti investigati. Sui campioni di suolo sono state realizzale analisi chimico-fisiche e misure spettroradiometriche multi angolari utilizzando uno spettroradiometro ad elevata risoluzione spettrale (ASD-FieldSpec pro) operante nel campo di lunghezza d’onda 350-2500 nm.
Gli spettri di riflettanza sono stati parametrizzati (trasformazione nei relativi spettri di assorbanza e successivo calcolo della derivata seconda degli spettri di assorbanza) per la identificazione delle principali bande di assorbimento, a cui corrispondono determinati composti, e sono state valutate le loro intensità. Sono stati quindi valutati gli effetti degli angoli di misura sugli spettri originali di riflettanza e sulle derivate seconde, mostrando qualche variazioni soprattutto dei valori di riflettanza totale al variare dell’angolo di osservazione.
Con l’ausilio dell’analisi statistica fattoriale e di correlazione, sono state valutate le relazioni tra spettri originali e proprietà dei suoli, evidenziando significative correlazioni tra a) riflettanza nell’intervallo di lunghezza d’onda 700-2500 nm e contenuti di sabbia, argilla e ferro totale nei suoli; b) riflettanza nell’intervallo di lunghezza d’onda 350-700 nm e contenuti di sostanza organica e carbonati.
Utilizzando l’analisi di correlazione, sono state trovate significative correlazioni tra le profondità delle bande di assorbimento identificate sulle derivate seconde degli spettri di assorbanza e la mineralogia dei suoli. Particolarmente significative sono risultate le relazioni tra la banda centrata intorno a 1905 nm e i contenuti di argille espandibili e caolinite. Relazioni significative sono state trovate anche tra la banda centrata a 530 nm, i contenuti di Fe(d) e il rapporto Fe(o)/Fe(d), quest’ultimo indicatore importante dello stato di alterazione dei suoli.

description: Modifying the Einstein's gravity at large distance scales is one of the interesting proposals to explain the late time acceleration of the universe. In this paper, we analyse scaling solutions in modified gravity models where the universe is sourced by a background matter fluid together with a tachyon type scalar field. We describe a general prescription to calculate the scaling potential in such models. Later on, we consider specific examples of modifications and apply our method to calculate the scaling potential and the scale factor. Our method can be applied to any modified gravity model, in presence of a tachyon field.

description: We consider the initial-boundary value problem for systems of quasilinear wave equations on domains of the form $[0,T] \times Σ$, where $Σ$ is a compact manifold with smooth boundaries $\partialΣ$. By using an appropriate reduction to a first order symmetric hyperbolic system with maximal dissipative boundary conditions, well posedness of such problems is established for a large class of boundary conditions on $\partialΣ$. We show that our class of boundary conditions is sufficiently general to allow for a well posed formulation for different wave problems in the presence of constraints and artificial, nonreflecting boundaries, including Maxwell's equations in the Lorentz gauge and Einstein's gravitational equations in harmonic coordinates. Our results should also be useful for obtaining stable finite-difference discretizations for such problems.

description: Taking the decoherence effect due to population relaxation into account, we investigate the entanglement properties for two qubits in the Heisenberg XY interaction and subject to an external magnetic field. It is found that the phenomenon of entanglement sudden death (ESD) as well as sudden birth(ESB) appear during the evolution process for particular initial states. The influence of the external magnetic field and the spin environment on ESD and ESB are addressed in detail. It is shown that the concurrence, a measure of entanglement, can be controlled by tuning the parameters of the spin chain, such as the anisotropic parameter, external magnetic field, and the coupling strength with their environment. In particular, we find that a critical anisotropy constant exists, above which ESB vanishes while ESD appears. It is also notable that stable entanglement, which is independent of different initial states of the qubits, occurs even in the presence of decoherence.

Illuminating the Shadows - Challenges and Risks of Generative AI in Computer Vision for Brands
Creators: name: Kaplunovich, Alex
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2024

description: The rapid advancements in generative AI have significantly transformed computer vision, presenting both opportunities and challenges for brands. This paper digs into the risks associated with the use of generative AI in computer vision applications, particularly focusing on brand integrity, detection and security. One primary concern is the ethical implications, where LLMs can amplify biases, produce fake product images and propagate harmful stereotypes, affecting brand reputation. The rise of deepfakes and AI-generated content poses a substantial risk of disinformation, leading to potential misuse in creating misleading advertisements or damaging a brand's image through falsified media. Legal challenges are another critical aspect, especially concerning intellectual property rights and copyright issues. The ability of generative AI to produce content indistinguishable from original works raises questions about owner-ship, detection techniques and the legal frameworks required to protect brands. To address these tasks, the paper explores various generation, detection, and mitigation strategies emphasizing the importance of developing responsible and trustworthy generative AI technologies. By highlighting these issues, the paper aims to foster a balanced discourse on the ethical and practical aspects of generative AI in computer vision for brands, shares detection results, and suggests mitigation strategies.

description: We report the magnetic susceptibility and the magnetization under pressures up to 1.7GPa above the critical pressure, Pc ~ 1.5GPa, for H // a, b, c-axes in the novel spin triplet superconductor UTe2. The anisotropic magnetic susceptibility at low pressure with the easy magnetization a-axis changes to the quasi-isotropic behavior at high pressure, revealing a rapid suppression of the susceptibility for a-axis, and a gradual increase of the susceptibility for the b-axis. At 1.7GPa above Pc, magnetic anomalies are detected at T_MO ~ 3K and T_WMO ~ 10K. The former anomaly corresponds to long-range magnetic order, most likely antiferromagnetism, while the latter shows a broad anomaly, which is probably due to the development of short range order. The unusual decrease and increase of the susceptibility below T_WMO for H // a and b-axes, respectively, indicate the complex magnetic properties at low temperatures above Pc. This is related to the interplay between multiple fluctuations dominated by antiferromagnetism, ferroamgnetism, valence and Fermi surface instabilities.

description: This PhD Thesis address fundamental mechanisms of salt stress response in plants from an agronomic, physiological, morphological and genetic point of view. Specifically we considered salt stress tolerance performances of eleven wild species of Cruciferae, closely related to Arabidopsis thaliana (Chapter 1). In the second chapter, salt tolerance has been related to main morphological and physiological
traits of two cultivars of sweet basil (Genovese and Napoletano). Finally (Chapter 3) we considered how salinity stress tolerance of tomato may be affected by a
constitutive over-expression of genes involved in wounding responses. Part of this research has been conducted at Purdue University (Indiana - USA) and at the experimental station of the University of Bologna, located in Teresina (PI – Brazil).

description: Adolescence is a special period between childhood and adulthood and constitutes a critical developmental stage for humans. During adolescence, the brain processes various stimuli to form a complete view of the world. This study highlights the critical role of multisensory integration, where the brain processes multiple senses together rather than focusing on just one sensory modality at a time. Brain imaging modalities such as magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be utilized to gain insights into the non-additive effects of multisensory integration by fusing data across different sensory stimuli in both time and space. While MEG and fMRI are powerful tools, traditional approaches to combining data from these modalities often ignore their multisensory aspect, focusing instead on single tasks. To leverage their complementarity, we introduce a multitask learning multimodal data fusion framework for joint learning of multisensory brain developmental patterns from MEG and fMRI data through a novel application of coupled canonical polyadic tensor decomposition. The multitask learning paradigm performs multimodal fusion from multiple sensory stimuli using multitask coupled tensor-tensor factorization (MCTTF). We demonstrate that multitask multimodal fusion of MEG and fMRI data can identify unique brain components, demonstrating a higher grouplevel multisensory integration effect.

description: The fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF) is a widely used feature for resting-state functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) analysis but captures limited information. Here, we propose two novel features, maxTP (maximum amplitude across time points) and max-RSN (maximum values across resting-state networks), that capture temporal peaks and salient spatial components, respectively. Using fMRI data from the Bipolar and Schizophrenia Network for the Intermediate Phenotypes project, we constructed a dataset by combining fALFF with the proposed features. Subsequently, we applied a data fusion framework by utilizing independent vector analysis on this dataset, leveraging both second and higherorder statistical information. Our analysis revealed significant group differences between schizophrenia patients and healthy controls in various brain regions. Notably, differences in the visual cortex were detected across all three feature datasets, suggesting its potential as a schizophrenia biomarker across different measures. Thus, by incorporating new features and a multi-feature data fusion approach, this study provides insights into the multifaceted nature of brain alterations in schizophrenia, emphasizing the importance of conducting neuroimaging analyses with complementary features to explore brain activity changes in psychiatric conditions.

description: Let $\mathfrak{X}$ be a class of groups. A group which does not belong to $\mathfrak{X}$ but all of whose proper quotients belong to $\mathfrak{X}$ is called Just-Non-$\mathfrak{X}$ group. A group which does not belong to $\mathfrak{X}$ but all of whose proper subgroups belong to $\mathfrak{X}$ is called Minimal-Non-$\mathfrak{X}$ group. Just-Non-$\mathfrak{X}$ groups and Minimal-Non-$\mathfrak{X}$ groups are correlated by structural results for different choices of the class $\mathfrak{X}$. Many authors investigated these groups and there is a long standing line of research
Neighborhood traffic management and community livability : three Vancouver case studies
Creators: name: Roth, Heike Dagmar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The study investigates the effectiveness of neighborhood traffic management in achieving a balance between two carpeting objectives: accessibility and community livability. Its role in creating environmental areas, defining environmental capacities and providing an arterial network is studied, as is the relationship between traffic and land use. The importance of an efficient transportation system and livable residential areas, combined with the increasing use of neighborhood traffic management suggests that the effectiveness of neighborhood traffic management planning in addressing neighborhood livability issues and its effects on the transportation system are important urban concerns. Three Vancouver neighborhoods with neighborhood traffic management plans implemented between 1979 - 1982, Shaughnessy, Vancouver Heights and the West End, serve as case studies. The effectiveness of the neighborhood traffic management planning process in addressing neighborhood concerns is measured by determining the perceptions of the group advocating the plan with respect to the process and the plan, and by determining how well this group represents the neighborhood. Indicators of representativeness used include: descriptive, substantive, geographic and process. Determining the effectiveness of the neighborhood traffic management plans in reducing traffic volumes within the neighborhoods is achieved by analysis of before and after traffic counts. With regard to the effects of the implemented plan on the transportation system, the study looks at traffic volumes at nearby arterial intersections and the presence of arterial improvements made in conjunction with the neighborhood traffic management plan. The study findings indicate that the group advocating the neighborhood traffic management plan is representative of the area and that the planning process identifies and responds to the concerns of the area residents. However, the implementation of the neighborhood traffic plans falls short of meeting residents' needs, due to the design of the devices or the timing of the implementation. The study findings on the effects of the plan on the transportation system are not conclusive, but suggest no major impacts. The study concludes that the neighborhood traffic management planning process should be improved by formalizing the role of neighborhood traffic planning, thereby giving legitimacy to both citizen participation and the plans produced. In addition, the adoption of an environmental area:policy emphasizing the protection of residential neighborhoods will ensure that plans are implemented as intended. The study also concludes that an optimal balance between efficiency of the transportation system and environmental quality can only be achieved by the integration of neighborhood traffic management planning, transportation planning, and land use planning.

description: We propose a general framework for quantum error mitigation that combines and generalizes two techniques: probabilistic error cancellation (PEC) and zero-noise extrapolation (ZNE). Similarly to PEC, the proposed method represents ideal operations as linear combinations of noisy operations that are implementable on hardware. However, instead of assuming a fixed level of hardware noise, we extend the set of implementable operations by noise scaling. By construction, this method encompasses both PEC and ZNE as particular cases and allows us to investigate a larger set of hybrid techniques. For example, gate extrapolation can be used to implement PEC without requiring knowledge of the device's noise model, e.g., avoiding gate set tomography. Alternatively, probabilistic error reduction can be used to estimate expectation values at intermediate virtual noise strengths (below the hardware level), obtaining partially mitigated results at a lower sampling cost. Moreover, multiple results obtained with different noise reduction factors can be further post-processed with ZNE to better approximate the zero-noise limit.

description: We report an experimental observation of nontrivial intensity correlation of a continuous-wave fiber ring laser. The laser beam consists of approximately 450 000 independent longitudinal cavity modes, each in a coherent state representing a group of identical photons. Based on Glauber's second-order coherence theory, we conclude that the nontrivial intensity correlation is the result of a randomly created and randomly paired distinguishable group of identical photons interfering with the pair itself. This result is fundamentally interesting and practically useful.
Optical control protocols for high-fidelity spin rotations of single SiV$^{-}$ and SnV$^{-}$ centers in diamond

description: Silicon-vacancy and tin-vacancy defects in diamond are of interest as alternative qubits to the NV center due to their superior optical properties. While the availability of optical transitions in these defects is one of their assets, high-fidelity optical coherent control has not been demonstrated. Here, we design novel optical control schemes tailored to these defects. We evaluate the performance of arbitrary single-qubit rotations of the electron spin qubit both in the absence and presence of an external magnetic field, by taking into account both coherent and incoherent errors. We find that rotations in excess of $98.0\%$ ($T=4$~K) and $99.71\%$ ($T=6$~K) can be achieved for Si-V and Sn-V respectively in the presence of realistic relaxation and leakage errors.

A Cluster-based Approach for Distributed Anonymization of Vertically Partitioned Data

description: In modern organizations, data is often spread across different sites, posing challenges for effective analysis. A typical solution is to transfer data to a centralized server which may jeopardize privacy and leak sensitive or proprietary information. As a result, many organizations are hesitant to adopt this solution despite its potential to fully utilize the data, analyze it, and thus, provide valuable insights for problem-solving and decision-making. Current approaches to address this issue mainly concentrate on distributed privacy-preserving techniques for data analysis, which is conducted in a distributed and a privacy-preserving way where data does not need to leave each site. However, such methods often require substantial computational and communication overhead, every time an analysis is applied on the dataset. This paper focuses on distributed anonymization, where distributed data is anonymized at each site in a coordinated way. Then, the anonymized data is merged and sent to a centralized server, where it is analyzed. In summary, it introduces two new approaches on cluster-based distributed anonymization when data is vertically partitioned (meaning each site has a subset of the features), one based on distributed coordinated anonymization, and the other based on top-down distributed anonymization. The benefit of these approaches is that the overhead of anonymization only occurs once at each site and all subsequent analyses do not incur extra anonymization cost. Experimental results show the proposed methods preserve the privacy of distributed data with very minor loss of utility of anonymized data and impose little computational overhead.

description: Understanding attackers’ goals and plans is crucial for cyber defense, which relies on understanding the basic steps that attackers can take to exploit vulnerabilities. There is a wealth of knowledge about vulnerabilities in text, such as Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), that is accessible to humans but not machines. This paper presents a system, called CLLaMP, that uses large language models (LLMs) to extract declarative representations of CVEs as planning operators represented using the Planning Domain Description Language (PDDL). CLLaMP ingests CVEs, stores them in a database, uses an LLM to extract a PDDL action that specifies preconditions for, and the effects of, the exploit, and updates the database with the action. The resulting planning operators can be used for automatically recognizing attacker plans in real time. We propose metrics for evaluating the quality of extracted operators and show the translation results for a set of randomly selected CVEs.

description: We detect the correlated peculiar velocities of nearby type Ia supernovae (SNe), while highlighting an error in some of the literature. We find sigma_8=0.79 +/- 0.22 from SNe, and examine the potential of this method to constrain cosmological parameters in the future. We demonstrate that a survey of 300 low-z SNe (such as the nearby SNfactory) will underestimate the errors on w by about 35% if the coherent peculiar velocities are not included.

description: The Sibling Leadership Network (SLN) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting siblings of individuals with disabilities. Siblings play an important role as caregivers in the disability community, but also deserve to be recognized as individuals with their owns needs, identities, and roles. One area in which we support siblings is through advocacy and support for sibling caregiver roles.Caregiving is misunderstood. It is providing someone with formal and informal care that may take the form of emotional, physical, or financial support. Caregiving can occur daily or even temporarily, depending on the experience of the individual. There is no one-size-fits-all definition of caregiving, but all care is essential and valued.The Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a policy that allows employees to take unpaid time from work to care for themselves, their spouse, their parent, or their child. Siblings are not included, unless they are providing caregiving for an individual whose disability prevents them from caring for themselves. We believe that this needs to change to acknowledge the important role siblings play in each other’s lives.Home and Community Based Services (HCBS), funds services that allow people with disabilities to live in their community. HCBS is currently struggling with limited funding and a shortage of direct service providers. Investing in HCBS would decrease demands on family caregivers like siblings.
