Defining an Emergency - A Prospective Study of Patient/Physician Agreement on the Prudent Layperson Standard & Discussion of the Politics, Stakeholders, Conflicts & Legislation Affecting the Definition of an Emergency
Creators: name: Reisner, Rachel E.

description: "Defining an emergency" serves many purposes. It has also been used to define an "appropriate" visit to the emergency department. It is, to some, defining which claims are appropriate to deny payment for. For others, it's when are we morally obligated, or legally bound to treat someone? Defining an emergency is important to the patient wondering when to come to the emergency department and when to wait and go somewhere else. Patients may wonder if they are contributing to the "overcrowding" of emergency departments or are they a "valid" emergency patient. For the doctor, they might wonder if they are contributing to the rising costs of medical care or are they just fulfilling their duty to address the varied needs of their patients. The problem that this paper addresses is: how do we define an emergency? Divergent opinions about how to define an emergency have been, and continue to be, a point of conflict for various stakeholders. This paper will explore the difficulties, importance of, and politics of defining an emergency. The definition of an emergency is politically charged, relatively subjective, and often emotionally driven thing; the definition of an emergency is the subject of many federal and state laws, regulations, policies and papers. Inclusive papers exploring how we define an emergency have been published in the past, but now, six years post Balanced Budget Act, and in a new political climate, it is time to review where we are. There are three objectives for this paper. The first is to describe the political background and previous work on defining an emergency. Next, I will present the results of a study to describe the agreement of emergency department patients and physicians on the definition of an emergency visit, using the prudent layperson standard. Finally, I will discuss the current situation of reimbursement for emergency department visits and the enforcement of existing legislation of emergency department visit reimbursement. I will describe some possible future policy options for enforcing a fair definition of an emergency visit. In much of this paper I will refer to the "prudent layperson standard." This refers to a standard of defining an emergency based on what a "prudent layperson" would consider an emergency. Federal law mandates access to care for any "prudent layperson" emergency. (See Section I: Legislative Definitions) There is a federal law affecting Medicare and Medicaid insurance plans mandates coverage for "prudent layperson"-defined emergencies. (See Section I: Legislative Definitions) In this paper, reference to the "prudent layperson" standard should be understood to be the definition used in the federal laws.

Nutritional and Vaccination Status of Children in the Terre Noir Neighborhood of Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Creators: name: Boggan, Joel C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: BACKGROUND: History of International Nutritional Measurement and Definitions: For many years, growth has been measured as a surrogate for the overall health of individuals and populations. Though this method is insufficient for understanding the complete health of an individual or population, it acknowledges that many physiologic processes must converge to achieve normal growth. Historically, young children have been the focus of surveys of growth because they are most at risk of having their physiologic processes of growth disrupted. Child growth is a proxy for a child’s nutritional status, which itself is a marker of dietary intake and overall health. Under the UNICEF conceptual framework on causes of malnutrition, dietary intake and overall health status are related to food, health, and care resources, which are themselves determined by the political and economic structures and sociocultural environments in a country.

description: We introduce new notions of weighted centrality and weighted commutators corresponding to each other in the same way as centrality of congruences and commutators do in the Smith commutator theory. Both the Huq commutator of subobjects and Pedicchio's categorical generalization of Smith commutator are special cases of our weighted commutators; in fact we obtain them by taking the smallest and the largest weight respectively. At the end of the paper we briefly consider the universal-algebraic context in connection with an older work of the third author on the ideal theory version of the commutator theory.

Subjects: stem allomorphy, lexical frequency, Gradient Harmonic Grammar, Greek, Arabic

description: In this article we investigate an allomorphic pattern that emerges at the right edge of the stem of Greek and Arabic nouns. After exploring a variety of possible analyses and discussing their merits and drawbacks, we propose a novel approach that combines the theoretical tools of Gradient Harmonic Grammar (Smolensky Goldrick 2016) with corpus data and, specifically, the lexical frequency of stem variants. The proposed analysis, which attributes the emergence of allomorphy to the diminished underlying representation of stem-final segments, highlights the phonological grounding of the process and allows a unifying treatment of allomorphic phenomena across languages.

description: Critical fluctuations are known to change the effective anisotropy of cubic ferromagnet near the Curie point. If the crystal undergoes phase transition into orthorhombic phase and the initial anisotropy is not too strong, effective anisotropy acquires at T_c the universal value A* = v*/u* where u* and v* are coordinates of the cubic fixed point entering the scaling equation of state and expressions for nonlinear susceptibilities. In the paper, the numerical value of the anisotropy parameter A at the critical point is estimated using the ε-expansion and pseudo-ε-expansion techniques. Pade resummation of six-loop pseudo-$ε$-expansions for u*, v*, and A* leads to the estimate A* = 0.13 close to that extracted from the five-loop ε-expansion but differing considerably from the value A* = 0.089 given by the analysis of six-loop expansions of the β-functions themselves. This discrepancy is discussed and its roots are cleared up.

description: The PAMELA detector was launched on board of the Russian Resurs-DK1 satellite on June 15, 2006. Data collected during the first four years have been used to search for large-scale anisotropies in the arrival directions of cosmic-ray positrons. The PAMELA experiment allows for a full sky investigation, with sensitivity to global anisotropies in any angular window of the celestial sphere. Data samples of positrons in the rigidity range 10 GV $\leq$ R $\leq$ 200 GV were analyzed. This article discusses the method and the results of the search for possible local sources through analysis of anisotropy in positron data compared to the proton background. The resulting distributions of arrival directions are found to be isotropic. Starting from the angular power spectrum, a dipole anisotropy upper limit δ= 0.166 at 95% C.L. is determined. Additional search is carried out around the Sun. No evidence of an excess correlated with that direction was found.
description: The value of the dipole anisotropy upper limit has been changed. The method is correct but there was a miscalculation in the relative formula
Some things you just cannot share: On Schneider’s Law, geminates and syllables

Subjects: geminates, markedness, syllable, optimality theory, Schneider’s Law

description: Various dialects of Inuktitut present consonant reduction in sequences of consonant clusters due to an alleged ban on syllable-adjacent geminates. This ban has been known as Schneider’s Law (henceforth SL). The present paper re-approaches its definition, focusing on the markedness of geminates and their co-existence in a single syllable. We claim that the underlying cause of SL lies in the fact that two geminates under a single syllable node render the syllable ‘super-marked’ thus calling for simplification of one of the two geminates. We also propose that SL is a more widespread phenomenon applying to other languages too including Japanese, Dogrib and Trukese.

Improving polypharmacy screening in Korean immigrated older adults at the primary care setting
Creators: name: Choi, Hyun
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Purpose of the Project: Older adults often suffer from polypharmacy-related complications due to multiple comorbidities, and the balance between medication necessity and safety is a challenge for providers. This project aimed to promote polypharmacy screening and reduce inappropriate prescribing using the STOPP (Screening Tool of Older Persons' Prescriptions)/ START (Screening Tool to Alert doctors to Right Treatment) criteria. Methodology: This quality improvement project was conducted in a primary care practice in New Jersey. This project implemented a standard medication reconciliation process using the STOPP/START criteria for older Korean immigrant community-dwelling adults aged 65 and over 4 weeks after staff education. The data was collected from 64 patients' charts who were 65 and older and taking five or more medications in a retrospective and prospective chart review. Data were analyzed for the total number of medications (TNM), potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP), prescription omission (PPO), and adverse drug events (ADEs). The three Likert-type questions post-staff survey evaluated providers' perceptions of the STOPP/START criteria and implementation process. Results: The medical chart reviews indicated reductions in the TNM from 10.39 to 8.6 (p =.000), PIP from 98.4% to 4.69% (p=.000), PPO from 14.1% to 7.18% (p=.419), and one occurrence of ADE to none. The findings indicated a 17.22% reduction in TNM and a 95.23% reduction in PIP. The providers were satisfied with STOPP/START implementation (mean =4.67 out of 5).Implications for Practice: Standardizing the medication reconciliation process using STOPP/START criteria in primary care settings will improve appropriate medication usage and reduce adverse health outcomes associated with polypharmacy in older adults.Keywords: Polypharmacy, Korean, STOPP/START criteria, Medication reconciliation

Charles House-Yorktown Eldercare Home: A Program and Evaluation Plan
Creators: name: D'Souza, Maria
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: With the aging of the American population and the rising prevalence of chronic disease and disability, there will be increasing numbers of older Americans in need of long-term care in the coming decades. Unfortunately, many current models of residential long-term care are associated with suboptimal quality of life for residents and high levels of caregiver burden among their family caregivers. The Charles House-Yorktown Eldercare Home is a small care home that was started in 2011 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in response to the need for holistic residential eldercare expressed by local families caring for elder relatives in the community, and its overarching goal is to provide high quality residential elder care in a community context. The program provides person-centered residential care to 6 elders in a small, home-like setting in a suburban neighborhood and purposefully involves family caregivers in care and household life. As a next step in community involvement, the Eldercare Home plans to reach out to neighbors and other stakeholders to learn how it might better support and enhance the neighborhood and its needs. The purpose of the following program and evaluation plan is to outline the program's development to date and its future directions, formally articulate its goals, and plan for evaluation, towards program improvement and dissemination. The program's logic model provides a framework for linking goals and activities, and is accompanied by a detailed implementation plan. A mini-systematic literature review provides insight into evaluation methods reported in the literature by similar programs. The focus of evaluation plans is elucidated through consideration of resources and rationale for undertaking evaluation. Evaluation planning tables provide a framework for an observational mixed-methods approach, and dissemination plans for evaluation findings are also outlined. The Charles House-Yorktown Eldercare Home program represents a novel strategy for improving the quality of life of elders who require residential care as well as that of their family caregivers, while engaging the surrounding neighborhood in mutually beneficial ways.

description: We demonstrate continuous tuning of the squeezing level generated in a double-ring optical parametric oscillator by externally controlling the coupling condition using electrically controlled integrated microheaters. We accomplish this by utilizing the avoided crossing exhibited by a pair of coupled silicon nitride microring resonators. We directly detect a change in the squeezing level from 0.5 dB in the undercoupled regime to 2 dB in the overcoupled regime, which corresponds to a change in the generated on-chip squeezing factor from 0.9 dB to 3.9 dB. Such wide tunability in the squeezing level can be harnessed for on-chip quantum enhanced sensing protocols which require an optimal degree of squeezing.

description: This paper presents the results of a short-scale research conducted in the 1st Senior High School of Athens. The core purpose of the research was to investigate the effectiveness of a model of summary teaching based on the theory of textual meaning perception of Grabe Stoller (2002) and on the Polanyi’s (2001) Linguistic Discourse Model. Two groups of students were given the assignment of condensing specific text (the first group implementing the traditional model of summary teaching and the second group the Grabe Stoller (2002) model-based summary production). The results of the research were drawn on the comparison of the students’ texts which were evaluated on the basis of specific for summary assessment criteria. After processing the research data, the students of the second group were found that they were more effective as far as the text summarizing process is concerned.

description: This paper develops an active sensing method to estimate the relative weight (or trust) agents place on their neighbors' information in a social network. The model used for the regression is based on the steady state equation in the linear DeGroot model under the influence of stubborn agents, i.e., agents whose opinions are not influenced by their neighbors. This method can be viewed as a \emph{social RADAR}, where the stubborn agents excite the system and the latter can be estimated through the reverberation observed from the analysis of the agents' opinions. The social network sensing problem can be interpreted as a blind compressed sensing problem with a sparse measurement matrix. We prove that the network structure will be revealed when a sufficient number of stubborn agents independently influence a number of ordinary (non-stubborn) agents. We investigate the scenario with a deterministic or randomized DeGroot model and propose a consistent estimator of the steady states for the latter scenario. Simulation results on synthetic and real world networks support our findings.

description: The paper investigates Greek teachers’ and students’ views towards teaching and learning English through synchronous online courses. Data were collected via separate questionnaires completed by 93 online learners and 56 online teachers. The results indicated that the working environment, easy access, and convenient attendance affect students’ and instructors’ choice of online courses. Participants suggest specialised training courses for online teachers and increase of advertising to improve the quality of online EFL instruction. Finally, technical issues and long screen hours are the biggest difficulties that online students and teachers face respectively. Students’ greatest insecurity is course quality, while teachers fear exposure.

Medical Student Characteristics and Intent to Work with the Underserved: A study conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Creators: name: Strum, Julie R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Using demographic data and a questionnaire developed by the Education for Lifelong Service program that was administered to first year medical students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, this study examined student characteristics that are associated with an expressed intent to serve the underserved population after completion of medical school through the following two research questions: Research Question #1: To determine if associations exist between the primary outcome statement from the Education for Lifelong Service pre-intervention survey "When I am in practice, I would like to work at least half of my time with underserved populations" and data extracted from both the Education for Lifelong Service and demographic surveys including attitudes towards the underserved, gender, race, marital status, previous experience with the underserved, preferred specialty choice, and expected debt load upon completion of medical school. Research Question #2: To determine if any associations exist between the secondary outcome statements from the Education for Lifelong Service preintervention survey "I plan to practice in a rural area," and "I plan to regularly provide medical care as a volunteer when I am in practice" and data extracted from both the Education for Lifelong Service and demographic surveys including attitudes towards the underserved, gender, race, marital status, previous experience with the underserved, preferred specialty choice, and expected debt load upon completion of medical school. If an association between certain student characteristics and intent to serve does in fact exist, then this study may ultimately assist medical school admissions committees in creating policies that will better capture students who are more committed to working with the underserved. In addition, this study could also assist curricula development committees in creating service-learning programs, rotations, and classes that could develop as well as promote a student's interest in working with underserved populations.

description: Several studies assert that the random access procedure of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular standard may not be effective whenever a massive number of simultaneous connection attempts are performed by terminals, as may happen in a typical Internet of Things or Smart City scenario. Nevertheless, simulation studies in real deployment scenarios are missing because many system-level simulators do not implement the LTE random access procedure in detail. In this paper, we propose a patch for the LTE module of ns-3, one of the most prominent open-source network simulators, to improve the accuracy of the routine that simulates the LTE Random Access Channel (RACH). The patched version of the random access procedure is compared with the default one and the issues arising from massive simultaneous access from mobile terminals in LTE are assessed via a simulation campaign.

description: The ability to work across disciplinary lines is integral to the future success of public health leaders. As the landscape of public health continues to evolve and federal, state and local agencies focus more on prevention and population based interventions, the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) process will gain wider acceptance as an innovative multidisciplinary tool for public health leaders. With roots in Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA), HIA aims to inform the public and decision makers about programs, plans, projects and policies that have the potential to significantly impact human health through the ethical use of evidence and a comprehensive approach to health(North American HIA Practice Standards Working Group, 2010). This study will review the history of Health Impact Assessments, how they are currently being implemented in the United States, the possible use of HIA to analyze the potential health implications of a proposed Medical Respite Facility for the homeless community in Durham, North Carolina and the integral part public health educators and leaders should play in the continued development and refinement of the HIA process. Leadership in Public Health requires the ability to work with multiple stakeholders in implementing successful public health interventions. HIA provides an innovative mechanism that public health leaders can utilize to take a health in all polices approach by including a focus on social determinants of health and health disparities within those policies influencing housing, employment, transportation, agriculture and many other sectors that in turn affect the overall health of a community.

description: We present calculations for the incoherent photoproduction of J/$ψ$ vector mesons in ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions (UPC) in terms of hadronic interactions. This study was carried out using the recently developed Monte Carlo model CRISP extended to include UPCs at LHC energies. A careful study of re-scattering and destruction of the J/$ψ$ particles is presented for PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV. We have also compared our method to AuAu collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV measured at RHIC.

Noisy-parallel and comparable corpora filtering methodology for the extraction of bi-lingual equivalent data at sentence level
Creators: name: Wołk, Krzysztof

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Text alignment and text quality are critical to the accuracy of Machine Translation (MT) systems, some NLP tools, and any other text processing tasks requiring bilingual data. This research proposes a language independent bi-sentence filtering approach based on Polish (not a position-sensitive language) to English experiments. This cleaning approach was developed on the TED Talks corpus and also initially tested on the Wikipedia comparable corpus, but it can be used for any text domain or language pair. The proposed approach implements various heuristics for sentence comparison. Some of them leverage synonyms and semantic and structural analysis of text as additional information. Minimization of data loss was ensured. An improvement in MT system score with text processed using the tool is discussed.

Effective Safety Programs: The Role of the Occupational and Environmental Health Nurse
Creators: name: Stailing, Susan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Safety programs have been in place since the early 1900's. Early programs focused on poor physical work conditions and as improvements were made to these conditions, fatalities have decreased. Programs following that era proceeded to focus on the worker and not the environment. Since that time, safety programs have undergone metamorphic changes that now focus not only on the work environment, but also the psychology behind employee safety. With the passage of Public Law 91-596, the OSH Act (1970), employers are required to provide employees "a place of employment which is free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm" (p. 4). As part of this Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) also provides services to assist employers in providing a safe environment. Some of these services include training programs and material, inspections of worksite to assist in identifYing hazards, and technical assistance related to workplace hazards. In addition to OSHA, a variety of other organizations have expertise in safety. Members of these associations include nurses, engineers, industrial hygienists, and safety professionals. As a member of one of these organizations, the occupational and environmental health nurse (OEHN) is in a unique position to provide services related to the safety of employees and their environment. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate safety programs, the impact of regulatory and non-regulatory agencies as part of the interdisciplinary team, and the role of the OEHN in safety programs.

description: The low temperature hidden order state of URu$_2$Si$_2$ has long been a subject of intense speculation, and is thought to represent an as yet undetermined many-body quantum state not realized by other known materials. Here, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and high resolution resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) are used to observe electronic excitation spectra of URu$_2$Si$_2$, as a means to identify the degrees of freedom available to constitute the hidden order wavefunction. Excitations are shown to have symmetries that derive from a correlated $5f^2$ atomic multiplet basis that is modified by itinerancy. The features, amplitude and temperature dependence of linear dichroism are in agreement with ground states that closely resemble the doublet $Γ_5$ crystal field state of uranium.

description: The Council of Europe (CoE) has developed a toolkit to support member states in their efforts to respond to the challenges posed by unprecedented migration flows, as part of the project Linguistic Integration of Adult Migrants (LIAM). The main purpose of this study is to assess language needs of adult refugees and migrants through the implementation of the aforementioned CoE Toolkit relevant needs analysis tools and to present tailor-made thematic units, that would cater for the language needs traced. More specifically, domains, language use situations and communication themes were identified so as to become eventually L2 learning materials. The findings show high diversity in terms of language competence, literacy, and linguistic backgrounds among the students and interestingly necessities prevailed the wants (see Nation Macalister 2010) as the thematic units designed by the teachers were not all based on the subjective needs but on the objective needs of the learners (as perceived by the teachers).

description: Filamentary structures are common in molecular clouds. Explaining how they fragment to dense cores is a missing step in understanding their role in star formation. We perform a case study of whether low-mass filaments are close-to hydrostatic prior to their fragmentation, and whether their fragmentation agrees with gravitational fragmentation models. For this, we study the 6.5 pc long Musca molecular cloud that is an ideal candidate for a filament at an early stage of fragmentation. We employ dust extinction mapping in conjunction with near-infrared data from the NEWFIRM instrument, and 870 um dust continuum emission data from the LABOCA instrument, to estimate column densities. We use the data to identify fragments from the cloud and to determine the radial density distribution of its filamentary part. We compare the cloud's morphology with 13CO and C18O line emission observed with the APEX/SHeFI instrument. The Musca cloud is pronouncedly fragmented at its ends, but harbours a remarkably well-defined, 1.6 pc long filament in its Center region. The line mass of the filament is 21-31 Ms pc^-1 and FWHM 0.07 pc. Its radial profile can be fitted with a Plummer profile that has the power-index of 2.6 \pm 11%, flatter than that of an infinite hydrostatic filament. The profile can also be fitted with a hydrostatic cylinder truncated by external pressure. These models imply a central density of 5-10 x 10^4 cm^-3. The fragments in the cloud have a mean separation of 0.4 pc, in agreement with gravitational fragmentation. These properties, together with the subsonic and velocity-coherent nature of the cloud, suggest a scenario in which an initially hydrostatic cloud is currently gravitationally fragmenting. The fragmentation has started a few tenths of a Myr ago from the cloud ends, leaving its center yet relatively non-fragmented, possibly because of gravitational focusing in a finite geometry.
