description: This study focuses on universal pharmacare. Background Universal health coverage (UHC) promotes access to necessary care and protects patients from financial hardship. UHC in general or universal pharmacare (with prescription medications) design features in particular may vary along the UHC axis cube, with dimensions being the population (who is covered?), products and services (what is covered?), and direct costs (proportion of costs covered?). Patterns in such design features may vary across contexts and may be useful in mapping the available evidence, including definitions, program characteristics, antecedents and outcomes or consequences of universal pharmacare. Identifying evidence about these factors can help inform policy development for the creation of new or strategically expanded universal pharmacare programs. Objective Our objective is to identify and conceptually map design features and the available evidence about the antecedents, program design features and consequences of universal pharmacare. Methods We will conduct a scoping review using the following key steps: 1) conducting searches to identify potentially relevant literature; 2) applying selection criteria; 3) mapping literature according to conceptual areas of interest; and 4) summarizing results. Each included document will be categorized according to document characteristics, antecedents (based on political- and health-system features), program design features (based on the axes of the UHC cube) and consequences of universal pharmacare (based on the quadruple aim metrics). This will be accompanied by a high-level synthesis of the key findings in relation to the key areas of UHC cube. Discussion The evidence generated from the scoping review will provide insight from the literature about antecedents, program design features, and consequences related to UHC with a focus on universal pharmacare. Given the importance of creating new or strategically expanding existing universal pharmacare models, the findings will be important for informing policy development in many countries.

description: Intense electromagnetic pulses interacting with a plasma can create a wake of plasma oscillations. Electrons trapped in such oscillations can be accelerated under certain conditions to very high energies. We study the conditions for the wakefield acceleration to produce MeV electrons in atmospheric plasmas. This mechanism may explain the origin of MeV or runaway electrons needed in the current theories for the production of Terrestrial Gamma ray Flashes.

description: In his seminal paper LaLonde (1986) evaluated the extent to which non-experimental approaches to program evaluation were in line with estimates based on experimental data of the National Supported Work (NSW) Demonstration. Lalonde found that the non-experimental methods at that time were not able to replicate the findings of the experiment in a sufficient way. In their re-analysis of the same data set and update of the non-experimental methods Dehejia and Wahba (1999, 2002) produced propensity score estimates of the treatment impact that were more in line with those found in the experimental benchmark estimate. They concluded that appropriate use of newer non-experimental methods could be a viable alternative to randomization. Smith and Todd (2005) revisited Dehejia andWahba's revisitation of LaLonde (1986) and found that propensity score matching estimates are very sensitive to both the sample and the matching variables used in the estimation and concluded that propensity score matching does not represent a general solution to the evaluation problem. Calónico and Smith (2017) recreate the experimental data for the target group of women on welfare from the NSW and find that non-experimental program effect estimates perform much better than for men. The current analysis revisits Lalonde's exercise. The contribution is twofold. First we will perform the analysis without pre-knowledge of the outcomes of the treated (and thus the experimental benchmark estimate) and with a pre-analysis plan. Second we build on a shift towards more design based methods Angrist and Pischke (2010) and new techniques introduced in the 30 years since Lalonde and 15 years since Dehejia and Wahba.
Are Social Stories an Effective Intervention Method for Children Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Related Developmental Disorders?
Creators: name: Hardin, Elizabeth Coleman
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: The prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is growing at a steady rate. With the
growth of diagnoses, successful intervention methods are needed. This literature review
examines the effectiveness of the social story intervention method for children with ASD. It is
important to consider all of the possible factors that go into the social story process. For example,
the social story method may vary according to the setting of implementation, the implementer,
the age and diagnosis of each participant, and the structure of the specific social story. The
existing research shows that the social story method is an effective intervention for most children
with ASD no matter the varying characteristics that the social story holds. Therefore, both
special education and general curriculum teachers should be made aware of this process and use
it more frequently in their classrooms. Pre-service teachers need to be taught how to create and
implement a social story before going into the field of education.
Peer Accusations of Acting White: Longitudinal Effects on Minority Adolescents' Ethnic Identity and Depressive Symptoms
Creators: name: Ogunkeye, John
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: The “acting white” (AW) accusation is an insult directed at minority adolescents for
appearing to conform to norms associated with white society. Although the term was first
introduced in the 1980’s, by John Ogbu and Signithia Fordham, as part of a theory on the
increasing achievement gap between white students and their minority peers, few studies
have examined how the AW accusation affects minority students psychologically. Data
were collected from a sample of minority high school students (N=173), over four years, at
three diverse high schools in rural North Carolina. There are two major aims in this study.
First, this study seeks to identify and describe the characteristics of students who are
accused of AW. Second, this study explores the longitudinal effects of the accusation,
specifically with regard to ethnic identity and depressive symptoms. Results indicated that
students who are accused of AW are more likely to be made fun of for they way that they
speak, experience higher levels of social anxiety, and be more popular among their white
peers. Longitudinally, students who reported stressful experiences with the AW accusation
reported lower levels of ethnic identity and higher levels of depressive symptoms. The
findings from this study suggest that the AW accusation may negatively affect the
psychological adjustment of minority adolescents. Future research should further examine
how the AW accusation is linked to negative mental health outcomes.

description: We examine the polynomial form of the scattering equations by means of computational algebraic geometry. The scattering equations are the backbone of the Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) representation of the S-matrix. We explain how the Bezoutian matrix facilitates the calculation of amplitudes in the CHY formalism, without explicitly solving the scattering equations or summing over the individual residues. Since for $n$-particle scattering, the size of the Bezoutian matrix grows only as $(n-3)\times(n-3)$, our algorithm is very efficient for analytic and numeric amplitude computations.

Embodied Emotion Concepts and Aging
Creators: name: Davis, Brian
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Two studies examine the hypothesis that older adults experience a decrement in interoceptive information when representing emotion concepts. To test this hypothesis, adults aged 18-75 completed property verification tasks in an online study to validate emotion property words as describing one of three conceptual modalities (interoceptive, behavioral, or situational). Participants then rated property words across all three modalities as representing discrete emotion categories such as fear, anger, sadness, disgust, and boredom. As predicted, older adults were less likely to rate interoceptive properties as representing discrete emotion categories, while differences in ratings for situational and behavioral properties do not differ. The implications of these findings for the embodiment of emotion and “maturational dualism” are discussed.

description: Donaldson showed that every closed symplectic 4-manifold can be given the structure of a topological Lefschetz pencil. Gay and Kirby showed that every closed 4-manifold has a trisection. In this paper we relate these two structure theorems, showing how to construct a trisection directly from a topological Lefschetz pencil. This trisection is such that each of the three sectors is a regular neighborhood of a regular fiber of the pencil. This is a 4-dimensional analog of the following trivial 3-dimensional result: For every open book decomposition of a 3-manifold M, there is a decomposition of M into three handlebodies, each of which is a regular neighborhood of a page.

Evaluation of pharmacotherapy consult services in a dental clinic setting: An inter-professional collaboration
Creators: name: Jih, Joyce
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Objective: The primary objectives are to implement the pharmacy consult program with sustainable pharmacy student involvement in the dental school clinic and to demonstrate an improvement in patient health behaviors. Design: This was a prospective pilot study with pre-post intervention evaluation performed at the UNC School of Dentistry clinic from August 2016 through May 2017. Pre- and post-intervention surveys were administered to collect the students’ demographics, knowledge and confidence of each discipline’s scope of practice, and perceptions of inter-professional communication and teamwork.Conclusions: Our prospective pilot program demonstrated the success of a pharmacy consult model in a dental clinic setting in improving inter-professional education. In general, DDS students reported a higher baseline level of pharmacy knowledge. While both DDS and DH students reported similar, high baseline RIPLS scores, confidence in pharmacy knowledge significantly increased in almost all areas surveyed in our study. Future directs include modifying the pharmacy consult model to incorporate student feedback and identified issues, as well as analyzing pharmacy student perspective data. Overall, we are encouraged to see increased collaboration between pharmacy and dental students.

description: *** This is a correction of the previous registration of the same study with the research protocol outlined in summary section and the abstract outlined in the description section; all other information is identical to the previous registration of the study. *** The purpose of the present research is to gauge expert derived opinion and (if possible) reach consensus regarding the relevance of social psychological theory and research for understanding and managing pandemics, and identifying research priorities (for the field of social psychology). This is particularly relevant given the current COVID-19 pandemic. The research therefore seeks to employ a consolidated approach to identifying research priorities for social psychology and social psychologists. To this end, the Delphi method has been selected, which aims to obtain consensus on the opinions of experts (panel members) through a series of survey rounds. The process involves collecting panel members’ responses from each round that will be fed back and summarised to the panel members who are then given the opportunity to respond again to the emerging data.

Der Bund, heute das Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (BMWK), fördert dieses Engagement von Beginn an finanziell. Als Koordinator der Forschungsaktivitäten sowie als Motor für den Transfer der Forschungsergebnisse wurde die Arbeitsgemeinschaft industrieller Forschungsvereinigungen Otto von Guericke (AiF) von der Textilbranche und anderen deutschen Industrieverbänden gegründet. Das Forschungskuratorium ist als eines der Gründungsmitglieder von Anfang an mit dabei. Es hat sich ein starkes Netzwerk aus mittelständischen Unternehmen und unzähligen Forschungseinrichtungen gebildet. In den vergangenen Monaten hat sich für die IGF viel verändert. Im Januar 2024 gab die AiF ihre Projektträgerschaft ab: Der DLR-Projektträger hat die Administration der IGF vollständig übernommen. Das stellt die Forschungsvereinigungen vor große Herausforderungen. Strukturen, Software und natürlich Ansprechpartner für die Projektadministration haben sich geändert. Viele Verantwortlichkeiten, die bislang bei der AiF lagen, wie zum Beispiel die gesamte Mittelverwaltung, werden nun von den Forschungsvereinigungen übernommen. Sowohl Strukturen als auch Software des DLR-Projektträgers sind nicht 1:1 mit den Bedarfen der IGF kompatibel. Somit war und ist die Umstellung nach wie vor eine große Herausforderung für alle. Das Team des FKT stellt sich fortlaufend und schnell auf die neue Situation ein, um die Administration der Industriellen Gemeinschaftsforschung für unsere Branche bestmöglich weiterzuführen. Bereits im Jahr 2023 wurden mit 51 Bewilligungen mehr Projekte bewilligt als im Jahr zuvor. Und auch im aktuellen Jahr 2024 scheint sich dieser Trend fortzusetzen.
Improving Patient Flow through Early Bed Requests at UNC Hospital ED: A Discrete-Event Simulation Study
Creators: name: Riederer, Emily
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a widely recognized problem in the United States due to numerous legal, economic, and operational factors. This difficulty has motivated a significant body of clinical and academic interest in applying operations research (OR) techniques to improve patient flow in EDs. In particular, discrete event simulation has been extensively utilized to study each of the three steps of ED patient flow (into, within, and out of the ED). The flexibility of simulation makes it particularly useful for examining each stage and comparing alternatives to reduce overcrowding. Many approaches to addressing ED overcrowding focus on ways to increase bed capacity for patients requiring service since beds are the bottleneck resource in many EDs. The problem of bed capacity can be addressed at each stage of patient flow. For example, many works have considered the effect of physician-at-triage (PT) altering the flow within the ED by treating low acuity patients with low resource requirements in a separate clinic to preserve more beds for severe patients. In contrast, early bed request attempts to improve flow out of the ED by reducing “bed-block”, the utilization of ED beds by patients who have completed service but board in the ED until an in-patient bed is available. Early boarding is the process of identifying at the time of triage patients who will later be admitted as in-patients. The ED “calls ahead” to request a bed from the appropriate ward so that the in-patient bed is ready when, or soon after, the patient completes service in the ED. In theory, such a policy has great potential to deliver system-wide improvements since many studies recognize bed-block and patient flow out of the ED as major drivers in long LOS and wait durations and “one of the most well-known operational problems to afflict an ED”. This paper describes the development and application of a simulation model for the UNC Hospitals ED to examine the effect of implementing an early bed request policy. Section 2 describes the patient flow at UNC Hospitals ED, the simulation model, the proposed early bed request policy, and how this policy is incorporated into the simulation model. Section 3 provides details on the data used, the estimation of input parameters, and validation of the model. Section 4 reports the results of simulation experiments on early bed request policies.

description: The EU Floods Directive (2007/60/EC) has the purpose to establish a framework for the flood risks assessment and management. It requires the implementation of coordinated measures on a basin-wide level for the reduction of adverse consequences to human health and life. However, mainly direct fatalities are taken into consideration in these plans. To develop more integrated and adaptive risk management and governance it is important to include both direct and indirect consequences. To define effective measures clearer understanding of the relation between floods and impact on human health is needed. We present a first attempt to provide a roadmap for the inclusion of health issues of concern to flood risk management within the Sava River Basin as an example. An overview of the potential flood effects to health issues was made and a roadmap plan was set up to analyse and map these flood risks. We concluded that indirect health effects can contribute significantly to the overall adverse consequences to health, and although relations are complex, a preliminary assessment could be made. Mapping of adverse consequences to health issues in the planning stages should lead to systemic insights and proposed measures in the prevention, protection, and preparedness while considering the characteristics of the river basin or sub-basins. By incorporating a health-risk-analysis in the planning process, health-oriented preparation is not only aimed at improving post-flood relief efforts, but to minimise the actual impacts and decrease post flood recovery time and costs.

description: Ostruthin, a natural bioactive compound mainly occurring in the roots of Peucedanum ostruthium, is the focus of this study. P. ostruthium was collected from twelve locations in the Swiss alpine region and reared in an experimental field, subdivided into twelve lots over two years. In the spring and fall, a portion of each of the twelve accessions was harvested and separated into above and below ground plant parts. The dried plants were then extracted with 60 % ethanol using accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) and analyzed using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).The above and below ground plant parts were then analyzed concerning their dry matter yield (DMY), their ostruthin concentration and their ostruthin yield. Focusing on ostruthin, it was found that the below ground plant parts harvested in the fall rendered the highest ostruthin yield. Furthermore, a variability concerning ostruthin among the twelve accessions was found. This variability among the accessions is of interest with regards to a breeding program used to develop a cultivar with a high ostruthin yield.
Exploring Cation-Modulated Olefin Isomerization by Hemilabile Palladium Pincer Complexes

Year: 2019

description: Many biological processes use allosteric regulation to control the rate and selectivity of enzymatic reactions. To achieve similar control in molecular catalysis with simple external additives, a series of aminophenylphosphinite-supported palladium complexes have been prepared and examined in conjunction with alkali metal salts. The first complex contains a pendant aza-crown ether moiety capable of either (a) coordinating cations in the crown-ether pocket or (b) coordinating to palladium with one of the ether donors. The second complex contains a diethylamine moiety, which contains neither a binding pocket for cations, nor ethers capable of binding to palladium. The third scaffold contains a bis(methoxyethyl)amine moiety, which we hypothesized would only support weak cation binding while still providing ether donors for hemilabile palladium coordination. This thesis will present comparative catalysis and binding affinity studies that elucidate the key interactions of cations with pincer-crown ether catalysts.

This is obtained given a set of nonlinear waves solving the classical equations of motion. Translation invariance is maintained by the proper choice of the solution of the equation for the two-point function as devised by Coleman. The computation of the Dyson-Schwinger equations is performed in the same way as devised by Bender, Milton and Savage providing a set of partial differential equations whose proof of existence of the solutions is standard. So, the correlation functions of the theory could be proved to exist and the two-point function manifests a mass gap.

Fitting Renewable Energy Systems to Community Development Needs: The Case of Sioma High School's (Zambia) Microgrid
Creators: name: Smith, Cameron Michael Buss
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: This research initially focused on the following research question: how well does a Technological Fit approach increase the social acceptance of an electrification system?  While an electrification system’s lifetime serves as the best measure of a system’s socio-technical sustainability, social acceptance in the immediate post-commission phase serves both as a foundation and early indication of an electrification system’s success or failure (Jones & Thompson, 1996).  Thus, this work focused on two aspects of social acceptance: identifying the ways in which stakeholders were likely to maintain the system (based on energy usage trends and maintenance experience) and identifying the way stakeholders would keep utilization within the guidelines and capacity of the system.
  As both the installation of and research on the Sioma High School Microgrid project developed, the gaps between the information obtained during efforts to achieve the technological fit of the system to the school community and actual behavior of users and system operators became obvious. In response to the weaknesses of an exclusive technology fit approach, a second phase of socially-oriented design work that I call “Community Feedback” was undertaken by system designers and school leaders.  Unable to perfectly predict how well a community will interact with a system, community feedback requires system promoters to work with a community to understand, maintain, and manage a system in preparation for transitioning the system to the community for ongoing maintenance.  Thus a second question emerged: how can a renewable energy systems management and technical controls be designed to take into account new information about emerging demands on the power grid and changes in local interests in the system? During and after the installation, a feedback process in which the installers make technical alternations and work with the community to develop proper management programs to optimize system performance will augment the initial Technology Fit approach and improve chances for both short and long term success.

description: We present reduced data and data products from the 3D-HST survey, a 248-orbit HST Treasury program. The survey obtained WFC3 G141 grism spectroscopy in four of the five CANDELS fields: AEGIS, COSMOS, GOODS-S, and UDS, along with WFC3 $H_{140}$ imaging, parallel ACS G800L spectroscopy, and parallel $I_{814}$ imaging. In a previous paper (Skelton et al. 2014) we presented photometric catalogs in these four fields and in GOODS-N, the fifth CANDELS field. Here we describe and present the WFC3 G141 spectroscopic data, again augmented with data from GO-1600 in GOODS-N. The data analysis is complicated by the fact that no slits are used: all objects in the WFC3 field are dispersed, and many spectra overlap. We developed software to automatically and optimally extract interlaced 2D and 1D spectra for all objects in the Skelton et al. (2014) photometric catalogs. The 2D spectra and the multi-band photometry were fit simultaneously to determine redshifts and emission line strengths, taking the morphology of the galaxies explicitly into account. The resulting catalog has 98,663 measured redshifts and line strengths down to $JH_{IR}\leq 26$ and 22,548 with $JH_{IR}\leq 24$, where we comfortably detect continuum emission. Of this sample 5,459 galaxies are at $z>1.5$ and 9,621 are at $0.7

Athlete perceptions of their engagement and motivation when completing the concussion assessment battery
Creators: name: Grove, Destinee H.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of this study was to examine athlete attitudes of the comprehensive concussion assessment battery (CAB) and to determine factors associated with these attitudes in an effort to improve motivation and patient investment in the assessment process. 40 recreational athletes participated in the study. Participants completed the CAB and a Perceptions Questionnaire. A subset of 20 participants also completed a Research Participation Motivation Scale and Post-Questionnaire Interview. Chi-square tests, correlations, and demographics revealed computerized cognitive testing and visual exams were the least engaging components in the CAB, while postural control and sideline assessment measures were the most engaging. Additionally, there were no differences in attitudes based on gender or concussion history. Thus, there is currently no proof suggesting the need for gender- or concussion history-specific CABs. Future research is needed to solidify findings and assess if and how attitudes change in response to feedback when administering the CAB.

description: The outbreak of covid-19 certainly increased the engagement in online services worldwide, Nigeria inclusive. Certain restrictions against personal contact, public gathering, travelling, long working hours, and crowding were well observed during covid-19. The restriction order brought about the closure of many organizations including universities. As a way of survival, many organizations including higher institutions of learning engaged in online services. This invariably resulted to saving of time, customized services and cost effectiveness among other things. As if the online service practice would decline at the post covid-19 reverse was the case as many higher institutions of learning continued to engage in e-learning. This study therefore interrogates whether less time investment, customized services, cost effectiveness and accessibility that are inherent in e-learning, respectively, resulted to the continuous and increase adoption of e-learning at post covid 19 era. The study respondents comprised students of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) Asaba Study Center and ESUT Business School Enugu Nigeria. After the analysis of the data collected from the respondents and test of the hypotheses using regression analysis, it was discovered that less time investment, cost effectiveness, customized learning and service accessibility respectively has positive relationship with the adoption of e-learning at post covid 19 era. It was concluded that e-learning consumes lees time, leads to customize services, is cost effective and also accessible. It was thus recommended that higher institutions of learning in Nigeria should improve their e services, especially through the deployment of qualified personnel and the use of appropriate technologies so as to save more time, money, health, serve the customers better and be easily accessed.

description: It is widely acknowledged that knowledge management is critical to an organization's survival and growth. Every day, higher education institutions that are considered knowledge centers generate massive volumes of data. When this data is analyzed using appropriate computational methods and technology, it can provide knowledge to improve organizational performance and students' academic experience. Healthcare organizations create massive volumes of data as a result of the usage of digital technologies to manage patient information and the organization's operations. When used successfully, this data aids in the creation of information that improves patient health and everyday organizational functioning, as well as the prevention of unfavorable public health scenarios such as the spread of infectious illnesses. This is where big data analytics comes in, providing rational methods for navigating enormous quantities of data to disclose knowledge that assists businesses and analysts in making faster and better decisions. Higher education, like healthcare, creates large amounts of heterogeneous data that hides useful knowledge. As a result, the strategies used by healthcare companies to improve their performance using big data are replicable in the education domain as well. This article examines the use of big data for knowledge management in healthcare using case studies incorporating various analytics and draws parallels to be applied in higher education. As a result, it highlights the possibility of adapting analytics technology and tools from healthcare to higher education with appropriate revisions and adaptations.

Perceptions of authenticity on Instagram
Creators: name: Murad, Brooke
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Authenticity is currently one of the biggest buzzwords in marketing and advertising. People and brands both strive for authenticity in an increasingly curated and digital world. This thesis explores how people make perceptions of others on an extremely curated platform, Instagram, especially as they pertain to authenticity. We conducted an experiment to look closely at the visual cues that increase or decrease authenticity (and other measures), and we explored the ways people view both personal and brand profiles.
Multimodal Analgesic use of Intravenous Acetaminophen/Paracetamol in the Pediatric Surgical Patient:  A Systematic Review and Synthesis

description: Intravenous acetaminophen/paracetamol (IVA/P) within a multimodal analgesic approach
has been examined in adult surgical populations, but we wanted to understand what was known
about its use in children who have surgery. We examined the state of science on IVA/P in a
multimodal analgesic approach in children who have surgery. With the assistance of a health
sciences research librarian, we searched across three major bibliographic databases (PubMed,
Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) using the Preferred Reporting
Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Each report was evaluated
according to our inclusion criteria: (1) research focused on IVA/P in a multimodal approach; (2)
focused on pediatric population (<18); (3) full-text article in an English language peer-reviewed
journal. Publications were independently analyzed by two reviewers to discern the quality,
approach, findings, and limitations to be considered. A total of N = 3781 articles were first
identified. After excluding: a) duplicates (n = 689); and b) not meeting inclusion criteria (n =
3087), we included a total of N = 5 articles. A multimodal analgesic approach that uses IVA/P in
pediatric surgical patients has the potential to produce opioid-sparring effects, decrease reported
pain scores over time, and improves aspects of outcomes. Yet, because there are so few studies
in children, more research with rigorous designs and comparable outcome measures is needed.
We make a strong case for why IVA/P should be researched, especially in intellectually impaired
children or children whose underlying health might warrant sparing use of opioids for analgesia.
Taking up from COP26 going forward: contribution of the Book “Survival: One Health, One Planet, One Future by George R. Lueddeke”

description: Since its publication in 2019, the book "Survival: One Health, One Planet, One Future", written by George R. Lueddeke, has proven to be timely and useful in these uncertain and tense ("rattling" – Lueddeke’s word) times we are experiencing. Indeed, we have had (and still are experiencing) the COVID-19 pandemic and the war between Russia and Ukraine that was started early 2022. In this article, we recall the urgency of climate action, the goals of COP26 (that took place from 31st October to 12th November 2021) and provide suggestions for topics that might deserve a place in a possible update of the book. These topics include (i) a critical analysis of the effects of Russia and Ukraine War and lessons from the perspective of One Health and Wellbeing; (ii) progress in various countries in using the One Health approach to address issues that affect the health and wellbeing of population (equity), the environment and ecosystems in general (including global trends in non-communicable diseases and antimicrobial resistance); and (iii) look at the current global governance systems in relation to how they can better function proactively to prevent future wars (interconnected challenges). Acknowledgements: We acknowledge the work of the President of COP26 and the Secretariat for the draft decision document that has been one of our foundational references. We also thank all the authors of the references cited in our paper for their wonderful work. Source of funding: No funding was received for this work.

description: We use electronic transport and atom probe tomography to study ZnO:Al / SiO2 / Si Schottky junctions on lightly-doped n- and p-type Si. We vary the carrier concentration in the the ZnO:Al films by two orders of magnitude but the Schottky barrier height remains constant, consistent with Fermi level pinning seen in metal / Si junctions. Atom probe tomography shows that Al segregates to the interface, so that the ZnO:Al at the junction is likely to be metallic even when the bulk of the ZnO:Al film is semiconducting. We hypothesize that Fermi level pinning is connected to the insulator-metal transition in doped ZnO, and that controlling this transition may be key to un-pinning the Fermi level in oxide / Si Schottky junctions.
