Abstinence-Only Education: Protecting the Public's Health or Poor Public Policy?
Creators: name: Penney, Alexandra Lehtonen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: American adolescents are paying a heavy price for their sexual activity: contending with one million pregnancies annually, suffering from 250,000 cases of HIV, and bearing a disproportionate burden of the most commonly reported sexually transmitted infections (STis). The grim state of adolescent sexual health makes reduction of the behaviors associated with pregnancy and STI/HIV risk a high priority. Interest in reducing the nation's adolescent pregnancy and STI/HIV burden is part public policy and part politics; while there exists a desire to reduce the infection and pregnancy burden for the betterment of the community, many individuals view adolescent sexual activity and its consequences, such as out-of-wedlock births, as immoral. This difference of opinion acts as a barrier to developing initiatives to reduce adolescent sexual risk. President Bush's adolescent risk reduction strategy is focused on the use of socalled abstinence-only programs to encourage teen sexual abstention. While few would argue against the promotion of teen abstinence, abstinence-only curriculums lack scientific evidence to prove they are effective in reducing adolescent sexual risk. Data does exist, however, to support comprehensive, community-tailored programs that target teenagers, but the funding for such programs relative to abstinence-only curriculums is abysmal. The issue of teen sexuality has followed the same path as abortion and physician-assisted suicide, where religious theory and political election concerns, not empirical evidence, drive policy decisions.

description: Emergency events involving fire are potentially harmful, demanding a fast and precise decision making. The use of crowdsourcing image and videos on crisis management systems can aid in these situations by providing more information than verbal/textual descriptions. Due to the usual high volume of data, automatic solutions need to discard non-relevant content without losing relevant information. There are several methods for fire detection on video using color-based models. However, they are not adequate for still image processing, because they can suffer on high false-positive results. These methods also suffer from parameters with little physical meaning, which makes fine tuning a difficult task. In this context, we propose a novel fire detection method for still images that uses classification based on color features combined with texture classification on superpixel regions. Our method uses a reduced number of parameters if compared to previous works, easing the process of fine tuning the method. Results show the effectiveness of our method of reducing false-positives while its precision remains compatible with the state-of-the-art methods.

description: Assume that we observe a stochastic process $(X(t))_{t\in[-r,T]}$, which satisfies the linear stochastic delay differential equation \[ \mathrm{d} X(t) = \vartheta \int_{[-r,0]} X(t + u) \, a(\mathrm{d} u) \, \mathrm{d} t + \mathrm{d} W(t) , \qquad t \geq 0 , \] where $a$ is a finite signed measure on $[-r, 0]$. The local asymptotic properties of the likelihood function are studied. Local asymptotic normality is proved in case of $v_\vartheta^* < 0$, local asymptotic quadraticity is shown if $v_\vartheta^* = 0$, and, under some additional conditions, local asymptotic mixed normality or periodic local asymptotic mixed normality is valid if $v_\vartheta^* > 0$, where $v_\vartheta^*$ is an appropriately defined quantity. As an application, the asymptotic behaviour of the maximum likelihood estimator $\widehat{\vartheta}_T$ of $\vartheta$ based on $(X(t))_{t\in[-r,T]}$ can be derived as $T \to \infty$.

description: We establish a systematic construction of the on-shell amplitude/operator basis for Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) in $D=4$ spacetime dimensions and with an arbitrary number of flavors $N_f$. For kinematic factors, we employ spinor-helicity variables to construct the soft blocks, which are local amplitudes satisfying the Adler's zero condition, as well as to take into account the reduction in the kinematic basis due to the Gram determinant, which arises at $O(p^{10})$ when the number of multiplicity $N$ in an amplitude becomes large: $N>D$. For flavor factors, we include group-theoretic relations at small $N_f$, $N_f\le N$, which decreases the flavor basis. The result is obtained by adapting the Young tensor method of constructing the operator basis for generic effective field theories to the case of non-linearly realized symmetries. Working in the massless quark limit, we present purely mesonic operators for both even- and odd-parity at $O(p^6)$ and $O(p^8)$ for $N=6$ and arbitrary $N_f$, and establish a direct correspondence between the amplitude basis and the operator basis. Furthermore, the redundancy due to the Gram determinant is studied at $O(p^{10})$ for $N=6, 8$ and 10.

description: We report Earth-scale distance magnetic correlations from lightning strokes in the frequency range 1-1000 Hz at several distances ranging from 1100 to 9000 km. Noise sources which are correlated on Earth-scale distances can affect future searches for gravitational-wave signals with ground-based gravitational-wave interferometric detectors. We consider the impact of correlations from magnetic field fluctuations on gravitational-wave searches due to Schumann resonances ($<$50 Hz) as well as higher frequencies ($>$100 Hz). We demonstrate that individual lightning strokes are a likely source for the observed correlations in the magnetic field fluctuations at gravitational-wave observatories and discuss some of their characteristics. Furthermore, we predict their impact on searches for an isotropic gravitational-wave background, as well as for searches looking for short-duration transient gravitational waves, both unmodeled signals (bursts) as well as modeled signals (compact binary coalescence). Whereas the recent third observing run by LIGO and Virgo was free of an impact from correlated magnetic field fluctuations, future runs could be affected. For example, at current magnetic coupling levels, neutron star inspirals in third generation detectors are likely to be contaminated by multiple correlated lightning glitches. We suggest that future detector design should consider reducing lightning coupling by, for example, reducing the lightning-induced beam tube currents that pass through sensitive magnetic coupling regions in current detectors. We also suggest that the diurnal and seasonal variation in lightning activity may be useful in discriminating between detector correlations that are produced by gravitational waves and those produced by lightning.
Building Capacity for Public Health 3.0: Introducing Implementation Science into an MPH Curriculum
Creators: name: Mosnier, Louis Charles Joseph
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Background: Many public health programs fail because of an inability to implement tested intervention in diverse, complex settings. The emerging field of implementation science is engaged in developing strategies for successful implementation, but current training is narrow and researcher‐focused. To enable public health practitioners to become “chief health strategists” as envisioned by Public Health 3.0, practitioners must be trained in implementation and in the allied fields of systems and design thinking, quality improvement, and innovative evaluation methods. UNC‐Chapel Hill's Gillings School of Global Public Health created an interdisciplinary set of courses in applied implementation science for MPH students. I describe the conceptual approach, pedagogy, courses, and initial results/learning utilized at Gillings to assist other schools contemplating similar programs, and emphasize the acute need for expanded training opportunities in implementation science practice to prepare public health leaders of the twenty-first century.Methods: Gillings' conceptual approach recognized the vital relationship between implementation research and practice. I have conducted a review of currently available training programs in implementation science to understand their scope and objectives and to assess whether any of these would be suitable benchmarks. Gillings used a design‐focused implementation framework to develop competencies from which were created four linked courses drawing from engineering, management, and the social sciences and emphasizing application through case studies. Course content was validated by mapping to published implementation science competencies.Results: To date, there is no other program that provides comprehensive interdisciplinary skills in applied implementation at the master’s level. As of spring semester 2018, Gillings has offered a total of eleven sections of the four courses, attracting a total enrollment of 142, of whom 127 have been master's-level students in the school of public health. Using Kirkpatrick's Model, I found positive student reaction, learning, and behavior. Many students have completed applied implementation science‐focused practicums, master's papers, and special studies. Student interest in the courses is strong and growing. Conclusions: A systematic design approach can ensure that core interdisciplinary competencies of applied implementation science can be successfully incorporated into a MPH curriculum. Students find the training useful and have demonstrated the capability to master this material and incorporate it into their practicums and master's papers. Such training is increasingly essential to enable effective public health leadership in the twenty-first century.

description: The continuous emanation of $^{222}$Rn from detector surfaces causes the dominant background in current liquid xenon time projection chambers (TPCs) searching for dark matter. A significant reduction is required for the next generation of detectors which are aiming to reach the neutrino floor, such as DARWIN. $^{222}$Rn-induced back\-grounds can be reduced using a hermetic TPC, in which the sensitive target volume is mechanically separated from the rest of the detector containing the majority of Rn-emanating surfaces. We present a hermetic TPC that mainly follows the well-established design of leading xenon TPCs and has been operated successfully over a period of several weeks. By scaling up the results achieved to the DARWIN-scale, we show that the hermetic TPC concept can reduce the $^{222}$Rn concentration to the required level, even with imperfect separation of the volumes.

Subjects: subject: Curriculum change

description: British Columbia (BC) is undergoing a whole system educational reform using 21st century personalized learning principles. At the time of this study, implementation of the new curriculum at the high school level was two years away, and teachers were invited to try aspects of the new curriculum in their classrooms. This paper describes a narrative qualitative study in which six humanities teachers from BC high schools were interviewed about their experiences exploring the new BC draft curriculum for Grades 10 to 12. The purpose of the study was to learn what instructional strategies these teachers used to try out the draft high school curriculum, and whether, in their opinion, these practices and methods were helping students learn. Further, the study invited teacher observations of their interactions with the new curriculum, their reports of student responses, and teacher reflection on the process of this curriculum change. The data revealed three themes: students learning, teachers teaching, and managing change. The interview responses indicated the participants not only embraced the coming changes, but saw their efforts to incorporate the deeper learning focus of the new curriculum as having a positive impact on student engagement and success. The teachers showed a willingness, and even an enthusiasm, toward test-driving the pedagogies of the new curriculum. They shared their belief that high school students were also becoming engaged with the experience. The students were not only willing to go along for the ride, but also to start gaining the skills to drive their learning themselves.

Integration of Safety Net Services: Opportunities and Benefits in Olmsted County, Minnesota

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Olmsted County, Minnesota has convened a Health Care Access Task Force to address the availability of adequate health care for the uninsured and underinsured members of our community. These needs are likely to grow in the coming years as rates of uninsurance continue to rise. The community has a strong foundation of health care resources yet there is a significant gap in health care for these vulnerable populations. In Olmsted County, the need for a less fragmented, more coordinated system to provide equitable quality and safe care for patients is clear. A proposal solution to current gaps is to create a single integrated site for health care and health care related services where resources are pooled and gaps are filled. In this paper, I will present models to improve access to health care by integrating safety net services in the community, importance of chronic disease management which is lacking in current strategies for providing services to the underserved, and a strategy for successful implementation of such a models. I will discuss sustainability of such a program and the cost benefits and improved health outcomes that might be seen with chronic disease management in an integrated health system that serves the underserved.

We consider an IR-UV-IR background geometry with the 5D SM fields in the bulk such that all the fields have even and odd tower of KK-modes. The zero-mode 4D effective theory contains all the SM fields plus a stable scalar, which serves as a dark matter candidate.

description: The Painleve-Gullstrand coordinates are extended to describe the black hole in the cosmological environment: the Schwarzschild-de-Sitter black hole, which has two horizons. The extension is made using the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism. In this extension, which describes the metric in the whole range of radial coordinates $0r_0$ are free falling towards the cosmological horizon. The existence of the stationary observer allows to determine the temperature of Hawking radiation, which is in agreement with R. Bousso and S.W. Hawking, Phys. Rev. D 54, 6312 (1996). It is the red-shifted modification of the conventional Hawking temperature determined by the gravity at the horizon. We also consider the Painlevé-Gullstrand coordinates and their extension for such configurations as Schwarzschild-de-Sitter white hole, where the sign of the shift function is everywhere positive; the black hole in the environment of the contracting de Sitter spacetime, where the sign of the shift function is everywhere negative; and the white hole in the contracting de Sitter spacetime, where the shift velocity changes sign at $r=r_0$.

description: An orthogonal basis of the Hilbert space for the quantum spin chain associated with the su(3) algebra is introduced. Such kind of basis could be treated as a nested generalization of separation of variables (SoV) basis for high-rank quantum integrable models. It is found that all the monodromy-matrix elements acting on a basis vector take simple forms. With the help of the basis, we construct eigenstates of the su(3) inhomogeneous spin torus (the trigonometric su(3) spin chain with antiperiodic boundary condition) from its spectrum obtained via the off-diagonal Bethe Ansatz (ODBA). Based on small sites (i.e. N=2) check, it is conjectured that the homogeneous limit of the eigenstates exists, which gives rise to the corresponding eigenstates of the homogenous model.

Incidence of Latent Tuberculosis Infection in South African Health Care Workers: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Majette, Makda
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Objective: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in South Africa. Health care workers (HCWs) are at the forefront of the epidemic and are exposed to TB in their communities and as an occupational hazard. The evidence on the risk of infection among HCWs in South Africa is uncertain. The objective of this systematic review is to synthesize the literature focused on describing the incidence of LTBI among HCWs in South Africa based on screening with tuberculin skin test (TST) or interferon gamma release assay (IGRA). Methods: A literature search of PubMed and Embase databases was conducted to identify studies assessing the incidence of TST positivity in South African HCWs on 2/25/2015. The key question of this review was to determine the conversion rate of LTBI in South African HCWs as measured by TST or IGRA tests. A single reviewer selected studies for inclusion based on pre-specified criteria. Cohort studies examining the incidence of LTBI as measured by TST or IGRA conducted in South Africa or in neighboring countries were eligible. The risk of bias was assessed for the included studies. The studies were analyzed qualitatively to address the limited number of available studies as well as the heterogeneity between studies. Results: A total of three prospective cohorts were included. Two of the studies were conducted in South Africa in the cities of Cape Town and Johannesburg. The third study took place in the neighboring country of Zimbabwe. The sample size of these studies ranged from 505 to 199 HCWs. The studies included a diverse array of HCWs from both community clinic and hospital settings. The conversion rate was measured by different methods across studies. For TST, the rate ranged from 19.3 conversions per 100 person-years of follow up to a 38 percent annual incidence rate across studies. The conversion rate for IGRAs had a more narrow range over 12 months: 22 to 26 percent across two studies.

description: Many funding agencies require collaborative efforts across multiple partners and organizations in order to address a variety of public health problems. As more and more funding agencies require coalition development, the burden on small communities continues to increase. Although there are complexities to coalition formation, functioning and demonstrating outcomes, it appears that the use of coalitions continues to be a growing practice. In order to enhance the capacity of small communities and avoid the lengthy and problematic challenges of developing new collaborations; exploring the potential to build upon existing groups appears to have merit. As coalition development research has shown that successful groups continuilllY change and evolve groups may welcome the opportunity to address community problems in different ways. Given the lack of research in this area further study is warranted. Findings from the qualitative research may determine that the potential to develop subcommittees is not realistic; rather changing the focus to address known risk factors for multiple problems may have greater promise. Either way it is essential to explore alternatives that will have considerably less burden on small communities and increase the potential for greater outcomes.

description: We study numerically the 6D (2,0) superconformal bootstrap using the soft-Actor-Critic (SAC) algorithm as a stochastic optimizer. We focus on the four-point functions of scalar superconformal primaries in the energy-momentum multiplet. Starting from the supergravity limit, we perform searches for adiabatically varied central charges and derive two curves for a collection of 80 CFT data (70 of these data correspond to unprotected long multiplets and 10 to protected short multiplets). We conjecture that the two curves capture the A- and D-series (2,0) theories. Our results are competitive when compared to the existing bounds coming from standard numerical bootstrap methods, and data obtained using the OPE inversion formula. With this paper we are also releasing our Python implementation of the SAC algorithm, BootSTOP. The paper discusses the main functionality features of this package.

Paving the Way: Policy Initiatives to Enable and Empower Migrant Journalists in the EU

Subjects: migrant journlaists

description: Many immigrants who want to join journalism in the EU face a number of obstacles. A lack of recognition of qualifications, language support and access to networks and resources are often hindering migrants from taking up journalism. These problems raise the barriers for their participation in the media industry in the EU. Only a few migrant journalists are currently representing their community. This insufficient representation contains the risk of creating prejudice and stereotypes. The EU has taken only limited action on this issue so far. The pilot project "Re:framing Migrants the European Media" was one of the very few measures the EU has taken to promote the engagement of migrants in journalism. Future initiatives to enable migrants to join journalism more easily could include financial and linguistic support, journalistic training programs and support programs to facilitate the entry into journalism. Overall, the current situation is far from satisfactory. Solutions are undoubtedly needed because the voices of migrants should not go unheard.
Multimodal Analgesia: A Solution to the Epidemic of Opioid Monotherapy for the Treatment of Acute Pain in the Inpatient Hospital Setting

description: Over the last several decades the topic of acute pain management has led to several pendulum swings in clinical practice and has now elevated to the level of patient safety. This problem came to light in the 90s with the persistent underuse of acute pain medications that led to an increased awareness of the need to adequately assess and treat patients' pain.1,2,3 In recognition of this ongoing inadequate treatment of acute pain, APS (see glossary) designated pain as "the fifth vital sign" in 1995.4 As a community made up of HCPs (see glossary), scientists and other pain experts, their goal is to increase the knowledge of pain and transform public policy and clinical practice to reduce pain-related suffering.5 While successful in bringing pain assessment and treatment to the forefront for healthcare providers, the "Pain as the Fifth Vital Sign" campaign has unfortunately led to the unintended consequence of an over-reliance on opioid medications. In an attempt to provide adequate analgesia for their patients, HCPs often prescribe opioid monotherapy (opioids only) to treat acute pain. Opioids, while effective, are associated with serious and sometimes fatal adverse events. The pendulum has swung in the opposite direction, moving from a lack of awareness of the need to assess and optimally treat acute pain, to now over-treating with opioid monotherapy, which can cause harm and put patients' safety at risk. With new and emerging non-opioid options for treating acute pain management, HCPs should assess patient risk for adverse effects and employ a MMA approach. This approach uses the lowest effective opioid dose needed and thus minimizes the adverse effects to the patient. The APS is set to release new guidelines in January, 2016 on use of MMA for acute pain management in the hospital setting. There is an urgent need for the implementation of risk assessment tools and opioid minimization strategies in hospitals across the country to provide safe and effective treatment of acute pain. Both HCPs and patients alike would benefit from education on MMA and the non-opioid options available for treating acute pain. Education and implementation of a MMA approach has proven to be efficacious and safe while enhancing recovery for patients and reducing costs associated with length of stay to the hospital. Not only does a MMA approach lead to safe and effective acute pain management for the hospitalized patient, but it may potentially reduce the incidence of chronic pain that results from inadequate treatment of acute pain. A 2008 review article by Macrae describes how postoperative pain has been shown to correlate with the incidence of chronic postsurgical pain.6 This paper will review one promising strategy to appropriately preventing chronic pain and avoid analgesic gaps, the MMA approach.

description: It has recently been shown that any observed potential can in principle be generated via quantum mechanics using a suitable wavefunction. In this work, we consider the concrete example of the gravitational potential experienced by a test particle at length scales spanning from the planetary to the cosmological, and determine the wavefunction that would produce it as its quantum potential. In other words, the observed gravitational interaction at all length scales can be generated by an underlying wavefunction. We discuss the implications of our result.

description: We investigate the new physics that arises when a correlated quantum impurity hybridizes with Fermi gas with a generalized Rashba spin-orbit coupling produced via a uniform synthetic non-Abelian gauge field. We show that the impurity develops a {\it fractional} local moment which couples anti-ferromagnetically to the Rashba-Fermi gas. This results in a concomitant {\it Kondo effect with a high temperature scale} that can be tuned by the strength of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling.
