A Cost Benefit Analysis of a Home Care Aide Program
Creators: name: White, Michelle
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: An exploratory, retrospective study capturing a two year time period was conducted at a licensed home care agency to determine if services provided by Home Care Aides (HCAs) positively impacted patient care outcomes and ultimately provided a cost savings to the health care system. This program evaluation was conducted at a home care agency owned by a large, private, not-for-profit health care system; and explored several interrelated concepts: patient care outcomes, staff training and education, and employee engagement. These concepts ultimately informed a financial evaluation: the Cost Benefit Analysis. Each of these areas shared a common theme, the relationship to quality. Avedis Donabedian’s theory of quality improvement was selected to guide this project. Donabedian’s theory allowed quality metrics to be translated into a meaningful financial comparison outlined by structure, process and outcomes (Donabedian, 1982). For the study period, 2014 to 2015, the agency demonstrated patient satisfaction scores consistently in the 95th percentile and employee engagement scores in the 99th percentile. These scores allowed for consideration that interpersonal relationships contribute to the success of technical skill. Technical skill contributes to decreased acute care utilization and improved patient care outcomes. The results of the evaluation demonstrated that while there is a financial loss to the health care system due to low reimbursement rates and few payor sources for the home care aide services, there was a financial savings in overall health care expense to the federal government and other health insurers. More importantly, the study population receiving HCA services demonstrated fewer hospitalizations and re-hospitalizations as compared to the general Medicare population with similar numbers of chronic health conditions.

description: It was shown that quantum mechanical qubit states as elements of two dimensional complex space can be generalized to elements of even subalgebra of geometric (Clifford) algebra over Euclidian space. The construction critically depends on generalization of formal, unspecified, complex plane to arbitrary variable, but explicitly defined, planes in 3D, and of usual Hopf fibration to maps generated by arbitrary unit value bivectors. Analysis of the new structure demonstrates that quantum state evolution in terms of two dimensional complex space gives only restricted information compared to that in even geometric algebra.

description: Matching markets can be unstable when individuals prefer to be matched to a partner who also wants to be matched with them. Through a pre-registered and theory-guided laboratory experiment, we provide evidence that such reciprocal preferences exist, significantly decrease stability in matching markets, and are driven both by belief-based and preference-based motives. Participants expect partners who want to be matched with them to be more cooperative, and are more altruistic themselves. This leads to higher cooperation and larger profits when participants can consider each other's preferences.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine what motivates recent graduates to give to athletic department fundraising campaigns. Recent graduates involved alumni who had graduated from the institution within the past five years, and were contacted via email to participate in an online survey. Data was obtained involving demographic information, giving levels, family history of athletic giving, and motivations for giving to an athletic fundraising campaign. Motives to be tested were determined through prior research of motives for charitable and athletic contributions. Using independent t-tests, significant motivations were found for recent graduates to give to athletics. There were no differences in motivations or giving levels between males and females. Motivations were statistically significant between recent graduates with a family history of giving and those without a family history of giving, but giving levels were not significantly different between the two groups.

description: Task-free connectivity analyses have emerged as a powerful tool in functional neuroimaging. Because the cross-correlations that underlie connectivity measures are sensitive to distortion of time-series, here we used a novel dynamic phantom to provide a ground truth for dynamic fidelity between blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD)-like inputs and fMRI outputs. We found that the de facto quality-metric for task-free fMRI, temporal signal to noise ratio (tSNR), correlated inversely with dynamic fidelity; thus, studies optimized for tSNR actually produced time-series that showed the greatest distortion of signal dynamics. Instead, the phantom showed that dynamic fidelity is reasonably approximated by a measure that, unlike tSNR, dissociates signal dynamics from scanner artifact. We then tested this measure, signal fluctuation sensitivity (SFS), against human resting-state data. As predicted by the phantom, SFS--and not tSNR--is associated with enhanced sensitivity to both local and long-range connectivity within the brain's default mode network.

description: This work describes a mechanical approach for manipulating the capillary length and spreading of liquid coatings on flexible substrates with high gravity. Experimental verification in the literature has focused on cases under standard gravity on earth, and to the authors' knowledge, this work is the first to explore its relevance to spreading puddles under high gravity. By using centrifugation with a high-density liquid base underneath a coated substrate, it is possible to apply acceleration normal to a substrate to decrease the capillary length and increase the rate of spreading. Due to the nature of centrifugation, this method works primarily on flexible substrates, which bend with a curvature that conforms to a contour of uniformly distributed centrifugal acceleration. With high gravity of 600 g applied, the capillary length reduces by a factor of 24.5, and the spreading shifts from "transient spreading" between the surface tension-driven and gravity-driven regimes to the gravity-driven regime. Experimental results show that high gravitational acceleration will enhance the rate of spreading such that a puddle, which would require 12 hours under standard gravity on earth to go from an 8-μl droplet to a 40-μm thick puddle, would require less than 1 minute under 600 g. Overall, this work suggests that previously derived expressions for gravity-driven spreading of puddles under earth's standard gravity extend to predicting the behavior of puddles spreading on smooth, wetting substrates exposed to more than 100 g's of acceleration.

description: Daylight fluorescent pigments are complex artists’ colorants made of multiple admixed dyes and additives infused in a polymer resin. Their unique photochemistry creates interesting optical effects that make them appealing for a range of applications. The wavelength dependence of the dyes’ emissive properties has also led to their use in works meant to be displayed under nontraditional high energy light sources, such as blacklights. The intended display methods and the photochemistry of the constituent dyes can lead to chemical instability and also pose unique challenges for conservation and exhibition. In Part 1 of this research, we reported on the chemical constituents of colorants from two major manufacturers. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive report of the spectral properties and lightfastness of paints prepared with the pigments. The optical properties and chemical stability of these colorants are correlated with the composition. Variation in composition can lead to unique markers that could be useful for conservation treatment and exhibition considerations. Changes in the dyes used in the pigment formulation over time are considered in the comparison of two objects: a Stephen Sprouse silvered leather motorcycle jacket featuring fluorescent art by Stefano Castronovo and selections from the Day-Glo Designer’s Guide from 1969.

description: Adults with neurological disorders commonly have dysphagia, which can affect the ability to swallow solid oral dosage forms (SODFs). In these cases, drug therapy must be optimized to minimize the risk of therapeutic non-adherence. The goal of this study is to map the available published research about the interventions aiming at improving the effectiveness and safety of the use of SODFs in adults with neurological disorders and swallowing difficulties. This is a protocol from a scoping review, which will be conducted according to Joanna Briggs Institute Methodology. Electronic searches will be performed in PubMed, Scopus, and SciELO. Additionally, manual searches in the reference lists of the included studies and in gray literature will be performed. Studies evaluating any intervention in the management of SODFs in adults with neurological disorders and swallowing difficulties will be included. Two authors will independently perform all steps of study selection (i.e., title and abstracts screening and full-text reading) and data extraction phases. A third author will be consulted in case of discrepancies. Relevant data on the study population, intervention characteristics, outcome assessments, and authors’ key findings will be extracted. Data will be charted using a structured form. Extracted data will be summarized using tables and figures and narrative format. The review will be reported using the PRISMA-ScR Checklist and Explanation to inform current research gaps and highlight areas to further explore in future research.

description: The introduction of new techniques for audio reproduction such as HRTF-based technology, wave field synthesis and higher-order Ambisonics is accompanied by a paradigm shift from channel-based to object-based transmission and storage of spatial audio. Not only is the separate coding of source signal and source location more efficient considering the number of channels used for reproduction by large loudspeaker arrays, it also opens up new options for a user-controlled interactive sound field design. This article describes the need for a common exchange format for object-based audio scenes, reviews some existing formats with potential to meet some of the requirements and finally introduces a new format called Audio Scene Description Format (ASDF) and presents the SoundScape Renderer, an audio reproduction software which implements a draft version of the ASDF.

description: The Dirac Hamiltonian including nuclear recoil and vacuum-polarization operators is considered in a supercritical regime Z > 137. It is found that the nuclear recoil operator derived within the Breit approximation regularizes the Hamiltonian for the point-nucleus model and allows the ground state level to go continuously down and reach the negative energy continuum at a critical value Zcr = 145. If the Hamiltonian contains both the recoil operator and the Uehling potential, the 1s level reaches the negative energy continuum at Zcr = 144. The corresponding calculations for the excited states have been also performed. This study shows that, in contrast to previous investigations, a point-like nucleus can have effectively the charge Z > 137.

Sie sind in dieser Überarbeitung dennoch nicht ausgelassen: Die formale Seite ist stärker berücksichtigt (Gliederungen). Für Predigt 236 ist eine Beziehung auf Ragaz angenommen, was einerseits die Besonderheit, in der sie ganz für sich steht, erklärt wie andererseits die in Predigt 237 dargelegte Einsicht samt den in Nr 253 ausgeführten Folgerungen besser ins Licht rückt. Wird in der Seitenstudie die Funktion des Krieges in den Predigten des zweiten Halbjahrs näher untersucht, so ist dies für die Fortführung der religiös begründeten Kulturkritik von Bedeutung. Die Zählung der Predigten folgt auch hier Barths eigener, in der Zusammenfassung zu Kapiteln mischen sich Einsichten mit praktischen Gesichtspunkten. Bei Referat und Analyse der einzelnen Predigten ist das Augenmerk auf Themen, Hauptgedanken, Gedankenführung gerichtet. In den Zusammenfassungen zum Inhaltsverzeichnis am Anfang sind die Negationen möglichst zurückgedrängt. Dort angemerkte Stichworte und Hinweise mögen das knappe Begriffsregister der Edition ergänzen und helfen vielleicht, Einzelfragen nachzugehen.
Bersani avec Kubrick

description: In this paper, Leo Bersani’s critical writings are brought to bear on Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining (1980). Exploring ideas about coupling, relationality, subjectivity and cinema, in this paper Bersani’s account of aesthetic engagement is both affirmed and reinflected. Ingmar Bergman’s Scenes from a Marriage (1973), The Shining, and an online parody trailer called “Shining” are examined. These films reveal narrative cinema’s difficulties in mounting a potent critique of coupling. Bersani’s writings propose that cinema best offers not a critique of coupling, but a relational model for a mode of being in the world. This mode of being, enabled by “the communication of forms,” is an alternative to our usual mode, governed by “the enigmatic signifier.” However, we can survive in either of these modes only through an oscillation between the two.

description: A study of the Nova Scotia surface air temperature over the last century (1900 to 2015) shows that internal variability on inter-annual, decadal and multi-decadal time scales can be partly explained by ocean-atmospheric climate modes, external and anthropogenic forcings. The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and Arctic Oscillation (AO) are shown to be the dominant climate drivers in Nova Scotia. The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is also shown to be a dominant climate driver but only during the summer. Multivariate models were generated over the full time period using only natural ocean-atmospheric modes of variability but could not explain the rapid increase in the recent rate of warming (post-1980). The inclusion of anthropogenic greenhouse gas forcing to the models improved their predictive power annually and seasonally. The modelling results show that 11% of the annual variability in Nova Scotia results from natural forcings along with anthropogenic greenhouse gas forcing while seasonally up to 28% of the temperature variability can be explained by natural plus greenhouse gas forcings. The annual and seasonal low explained variance suggests that Nova Scotia is poorly modulated by climate indices, specifically during the winter, the time when relationships between ocean-atmospheric modes and the regional climate should be the strongest. It leads to believe that Nova Scotia is located in a transition zone where large-scale ocean-atmospheric modes of variability are transitioning from being positively correlated in a region to being negatively correlated in another region. The results of this study help to better understand how large-scale ocean-atmospheric modes of variability, external and anthropogenic greenhouse gas forcings affect Nova Scotia’s surface air temperatures and also provide insight into future potential variability under a changing climate.

description: We describe the third telescope of the Wise Observatory, a 0.70-m Centurion 28 (C28IL) installed in 2013 and named the Jay Baum Rich telescope to enhance significantly the wide-field imaging possibilities of the observatory. The telescope operates from a 5.5-m diameter dome and is equipped with a large-format red-sensitive CCD camera, offering a ~one square degree imaged field sampled at 0".83/pixel. The telescope was acquired to provide an alternative to the existing 1-m telescope for studies such as microlensing, photometry of transiting exo-planets, the follow-up of supernovae and other optical transients, and the detection of very low surface brightness extended features around galaxies. The operation of the C28IL is robotic, requiring only the creation of a night observing plan that is loaded in the afternoon prior to the observations. The entire facility was erected for a component and infrastructure cost of well under 300k$ and a labor investment of about two person-year. The successful implementation of the C28IL, at a reasonable cost, demonstrates the viability of small telescopes in an age of huge light-collectors.

description: The frequency-domain approach (FDA) to transient analysis of the boundary element method, although is appealing for engineering applications, is computationally expensive. This paper proposes a novel adaptive frequency sampling (AFS) algorithm to reduce the computational time of the FDA by effectively reducing the number Nc of sampling frequencies. The AFS starts with a few initial frequencies and automatically determines the subsequent sampling frequencies. It can reduce Nc by more than 2 times while still preserving good accuracy. In a porous solid model with around 0.3 million unknowns, 4 times reduction of Nc and the total computational time is successfully achieved.

description: This paper presents analysis of the rotational parameters of Toutatis based on the observational results from Chang'e-2's close flyby. The 3-D shape model derived from ground-based radar observation is used to calculate the 3-1-3 Euler angles at the flyby epoch, which are evaluated to be $-20.1^\circ\pm1^\circ$, $27.6^\circ\pm1^\circ$ and $42.2^\circ\pm1^\circ$. The large amplitude of Toutatis' tumbling attitude is demonstrated to be the result of the large deviation of the angular momentum axis and the rotational axis. Two rotational periods are evaluated to be $5.38\pm0.03$ days for rotation about the long axis and $7.40\pm0.03$ days for precession of the long axis about the angular momentum vector based on Fourier analysis. These results provide a further understanding of rotational state of Toutatis.

description: The polarization of cosmic microwave background (CMB) can be used to constrain cosmological birefringence, the rotation of the linear polarization of CMB photons potentially induced by parity violating physics beyond the standard model. This effect produces non-null CMB cross correlations between temperature and B mode-polarization, and between E- and B-mode polarization. Both cross-correlations are otherwise null in the standard cosmological model. We use the recently released 2015 Planck likelihood in combination with the Bicep2/Keck/Planck (BKP) likelihood to constrain the birefringence angle $α$. Our findings, that are compatible with no detection, read $α= 0.0^{\circ} \pm 1.3^{\circ} \mbox{ (stat)} \pm 1^{\circ} \mbox{ (sys)} $ for {\sc Planck} data and $α= 0.30^{\circ} \pm 0.27^{\circ} \mbox{ (stat)} \pm 1^{\circ} \mbox{(sys)} $ for BKP data. We finally forecast the expected improvements over present constraints when the Planck BB, TB and EB spectra at high $\ell$ will be included in the analysis.

Functional inactivation of the ventral hippocampus attenuates context-induced reinstatement of extinguished cocaine-seeking behavior in rats

description: The ventral hippocampus (VH) and the dorsal hippocampus (DH) substantially differ in connectivity, yet both brain regions have been implicated in behaviors that rely on context-US associations. The VH, in particular, has extensive reciprocal connections with several elements of the brain relapse circuitry. Thus, we hypothesized that the VH plays a critical role in context-induced reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior. Consistent with this hypothesis, we predicted that selective GABA agonist-induced inactivation of the VH and, in particular, its CA1 or CA3 subregions would attenuate context-induced reinstatement. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were trained to lever press for cocaine reinforcement (0.15 mg/infusion, i.v.) in a distinct multimodal context, consisting of visual, olfactory, auditory, and tactile stimuli. Rats then underwent extinction training in a distinctly different context on a minimum of 7 consecutive days. On the test days, rats received bilateral microinfusions of the GABAB/GABAA receptor agonists, baclofen/muscimol (1.0/.01mM), or phosphate buffered saline vehicle directly into the VH and cocaine seeking was assessed in the previously cocaine-paired or the extinction context. Inactivation of the VH attenuated drug context-induced reinstatement of cocaine seeking, suggesting that the functional integrity of the VH is necessary for the motivational effects of a cocaine-paired environment on addictive behavior.

description: A quantitative analysis of the evolution of nuclear shapes and shape phase transitions, including regions of short-lived nuclei that are becoming accessible in experiments at radioactive-beam facilities, necessitate accurate modeling of the underlying nucleonic dynamics. Important theoretical advances have recently been made in studies of complex shapes and the corresponding excitation spectra and electromagnetic decay patterns, especially in the "beyond mean-field" framework based on nuclear density functionals. Interesting applications include studies of shape evolution and coexistence in N = 28 isotones, the structure of lowest $0^+$ excitations in deformed N $\approx$ 90 rare-earth nuclei, and quadrupole and octupole shape transitions in thorium isotopes.

description: New properties of $q$-ary cyclotomic cosets modulo $n = q^{m} - 1$, where $q \geq 3$ is a prime power, are investigated in this paper. Based on these properties, the dimension as well as bounds for the designed distance of some families of classical cyclic codes can be computed. As an application, new families of nonbinary Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) quantum codes as well as new families of convolutional codes are constructed in this work. These new CSS codes have parameters better than the ones available in the literature. The convolutional codes constructed here have free distance greater than the ones available in the literature.

CONVERSATIONS ABOUT DYING: UTILIZING THE CONVERSATION PROJECT TOOLKIT IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN CHURCHES TO FACILITATE END OF LIFE PLANNING
Creators: name: Kebaso, Nancy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: ABSTRACT
      Background: Advance directives (AD) allow patients to make cooperative health-care decisions with their health-care providers and family members and give patients a sense of control over critical health-care and life-sustaining choices. The primary intent of the AD is to improve end-of-life (EOL) by rendering care consistent with patient’s wishes, thus reducing anxiety and stress associated with EOL care. Although the completion of AD remains limited in the general population, African Americans (AAs) have the lowest rates of AD completion.
      Purpose: The purpose of this project was to apply The Conversation Project (TCP) Toolkit in discussing with AAs about AD and encouraging EOL conversations among AAs in community faith-based settings.
      Methods: Using a descriptive, cross-sectional design using a convenience sample of African Americans in three different African-American churches in North Carolina, I tested the effectiveness of TCP toolkit in changing attitudes about advance directives and the TCP influence on initiation of EOL discussions. I conducted three intervention groups between December 18th, 2017 and January 19th , 2018, and used the Advance Directive Attitude Survey (ADAS) in pre-and post-intervention group discussions to assess changes in attitude towards AD. I also administered a 2 –question survey pre-and post-intervention group discussion to assess the likelihood that participants will hold an end of life discussion with their loved ones or institute ADs.
      Results: Mean ADAS score increased from 2.678 pre-intervention to 3.044 post intervention.
      Conclusion: The TCP toolkit led to a positive change in attitude towards AD when used as an education tool for EOL discussion choices among AAs. The TCP toolkit can be used to inform African Americans about EOL choices and encourage AAs to initiate EOL discussions with other family members.
