title: An Exploratory Examination of the Cultural Understandings of Communication Competence Among Nigerian Immigrant Adult Children
Creators: name: Gambo, Fredous
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Although “communication competence” may be considered a trans-cultural concept, its unique meanings and practices across cultures have yet to be studied. Communication between parents and children in African households, for example, have often been associated with a restive and high level of control. Specifically in Nigerian households, a major critique of parenting communication styles is the necessity of continually seeking the permissions of a patriarchal and hierarchical family structure. When families immigrate, parents and children alike must navigate learning to communicate in the new culture while also seeking to preserve their culture of origin. Past research shows that adult immigrant children acculturate quickly and in doing so may also create parent-child communication problems as they seek to communicate with their comparatively reticent to acculturate parents. This thesis theorizes that the roots of some immigrant parent-child communication difficulties may lie in how immigrant adult children are understanding the concept of “competent communication” as they acculturate. This study addresses this problem by reporting the results of a qualitative, exploratory study of Nigerian immigrant adult children’s understandings of “communication competence” within the context of parent-child relationships. The results of the study found that Nigerian immigrant adult children perceive communication competence in the US as freedom to express themselves without judgment, contrasting the more restrictive communication in Nigerian communities. American culture's openness on topics like mental health is admired, while Nigerian parents are seen as controlling. The hierarchical nature of Nigerian culture hinders open expression. Generational differences shape parents' communication style, and respect is highly valued. Academic success is prioritized, reflecting good parenting. Education is highly valued, and sacrifices are made for children's success. Cultural dynamics and generational differences impact communication competence in Nigerian immigrant families in the US.

description: The vast majority of modern microelectronic devices rely on carriers within semiconductors due to their integrability. Therefore, the performance of these devices is limited due to natural semiconductor properties such as band gap and electron velocity. Replacing the semiconductor channel in conventional microelectronic devices with a gas or vacuum channel may scale their speed, wavelength, and power beyond what is available today. However, liberating electrons into gas/vacuum in a practical microelectronic device is quite challenging. It often requires heating, applying high voltages, or using lasers with short wavelengths or high powers. Here, we show that the interaction between an engineered resonant surface (metasurface) and a low-power infrared (IR) laser can cause enough photoemission (via electron tunneling) to implement feasible microelectronic devices such as transistors, switches, and modulators. Photoemission-based devices benefit from the advantages of gas-plasma/vacuum electronic devices while preserving the integrability of semiconductor-based devices.

description: We gauge the abelian hierarchy of tensor fields in 4D by a Lie algebra. The resulting non-abelian tensor hierarchy can be interpreted via an equivariant chain complex. We lift this structure to N=1 superspace by constructing superfield analogs for the tensor fields, along with covariant superfield strengths. Next we construct Chern-Simons actions, for both the bosonic and N=1 cases, and note that the condition of gauge invariance can be presented cohomologically. Finally, we provide an explicit realization of these structures by dimensional reduction, for example by reducing the three-form of eleven-dimensional supergravity into a superspace with manifest 4D, N=1 supersymmetry.

description: In this paper we describe a stretchable solid-state electronic switching material that operates at high voltage potentials, as well as a switch material benchmarking technique that utilizes a modular dielectric elastomer (artificial muscle) ring oscillator. The solid-state switching material was integrated into our oscillator, which self-started after 16s and performed 5 oscillations at a frequency of 1.05Hz with 3.25kV DC input. Our materials-by-design approach for the nickel filled polydimethysiloxane (Ni-PDMS) based switch has resulted in significant improvements over previous carbon-grease based switches in four key areas, namely sharpness of switching behavior upon applied stretch, magnitude of electrical resistance change, ease of manufacture, and rate of production. Switch lifetime was demonstrated to be in the range of tens to hundreds of cycles with the current process. An interesting and potentially useful strain-based switching hysteresis behavior is also presented.

description: In areas where livestock is bred, there is a demand for accurate, real-time, and stable monitoring of ammonia concentration in the breeding environment. However, existing electronic nose systems struggle with slow response times and limited detection accuracy. In this study, we introduced a novel solution: an active pumping ammonia detection system using artificial olfaction based on a biomimetic chamber. We analyzed the biomimetic chamber’s structure and the sensor array's surface airflow to determine the system’s sensing units. The system employs an electronic nose to detect ammonia and ethanol gases in a circulating airflow within a closed box. The captured signals underwent processing, followed by the application of classification and regression models for data prediction. Our results suggest that this system, leveraging the biomimetic chamber, offers rapid gas detection response times. A high classification prediction accuracy, with a determination coefficient R² value of 0.99 for single-output regression and over 0.98 for multi-output regression predictions, was achieved by incorporating a backpropagation (BP) neural network algorithm. These outcomes demonstrate the system’s effectiveness in accurately detecting ammonia emitted during livestock fermentation, meeting the ammonia detection requirements of breeding farms.

description: This thesis examines Coast Salish art and its revitalization through storytelling methodology as it relates to my own artistic practice. Bringing together visual art, essay, narrative, poetry, prose, and experimental layout, I examine the complex histories of colonization and ongoing colonialism in the Coast Salish world. My research has been centered on the quote “Coast Salish art is to make the sacred visible,” shared by Elder Bill White from my community in Snuneymuxw. This quote has fascinated and inspired me, leading to the question “What is sacred?” Through my own art practice in dialogue with lived experience, the teachings I have received from my family, community, and culture, as well as through my academic training in philosophy, I ask about what it means for us as Coast Salish artists to make work that represents the sacred; how it facilitates the sacred; the ways that we work in both traditional and modern contexts; and what was significant about the efforts beginning in the 1970’s by artists like Susan Point, Charles Elliott, Simon Charlie, Stan Greene, and others to bring traditional Coast Salish art forms back to the surface. Teachings from my late great-grandmother, Dr. Ellen Rice White, Kwulasulwut, play an intrinsic role in this text. My goal is to share teachings with future generations of Coast Salish peoples and those who wish to learn about who we are and our art.

description: Deformations in graphene systems are central elements in the novel field of {\it straintronics}. Various strain geometries have been proposed to produce specific properties but their experimental realization has been limited. Because strained folds can be engineered on graphene samples on appropriate substrates, we study their effects on graphene transport properties. We show the existence of an enhanced local density of states (LDOS) along the direction of the strained fold that originates from localization of higher energy states, and provides extra conductance channels at lower energies. In addition to exhibit sublattice symmetry breaking, these states are valley polarized, with quasi-ballistic properties in smooth disorder potentials. We confirmed that these results persist in the presence of strong edge disorder, making these geometries viable electronic waveguides. These findings could be tested in properly engineered experimental settings.

description: The ordering problem in quantum systems with position-dependent mass (PDM) is treated by inclusion of the classically fictitious similarity transformation into the kinetic term. This provides a generation of supersymmetry with the first order supercharges from the kinetic term alone, while inclusion of the potential term allows also to generate nonlinear supersymmetry with higher order supercharges. A broad class of finite-gap systems with PDM is obtained by different reduction procedures, and general results on supersymmetry generation are applied to them. We show that elliptic finite-gap systems of Lame and Darboux-Treibich-Verdier types can be obtained by reduction to Seiffert's spherical spiral and Bernoulli lemniscate in the presence of Calogero-like or harmonic oscillator potentials, or by angular momentum reduction of a free motion on some AdS_2-related surfaces in the presence of Aharonov-Bohm flux. The limiting cases include the Higgs and Mathews-Lakshmanan oscillator models as well as a reflectionless model with PDM exploited recently in the discussion of cosmological inflationary scenarios.

description: We propose two setups for realizing a chiral quantum network, where two-level systems representing the nodes interact via directional emission into discrete waveguides, as introduced in T. Ramos et al. [Phys. Rev. A 93, 062104 (2016)]. The first implementation realizes a spin waveguide via Rydberg states in a chain of atoms, whereas the second one realizes a phonon waveguide via the localized vibrations of a string of trapped ions. For both architectures, we show that strong chirality can be obtained by a proper design of synthetic gauge fields in the couplings from the nodes to the waveguide. In the Rydberg case, this is achieved via intrinsic spin-orbit coupling in the dipole-dipole interactions, while for the trapped ions it is obtained by engineered sideband transitions. We take long-range couplings into account that appear naturally in these implementations, discuss useful experimental parameters, and analyze potential error sources. Finally, we describe effects that can be observed in these implementations within state-of-the-art technology, such as the driven-dissipative formation of entangled dimer states.

description: We develop an exceptional generalised geometry formalism for massive type IIA supergravity. In particular, we construct a deformation of the generalised Lie derivative, which generates the type IIA gauge transformations as modified by the Romans mass. We apply this new framework to consistent Kaluza-Klein reductions preserving maximal supersymmetry. We find a generalised parallelisation of the exceptional tangent bundle on S^6, and from this reproduce the consistent truncation ansatz and embedding tensor leading to dyonically gauged ISO(7) supergravity in four dimensions. We also discuss closely related hyperboloid reductions, yielding a dyonic ISO(p,7-p) gauging. Finally, while for vanishing Romans mass we find a generalised parallelisation on S^d, d=4,3,2, leading to a maximally supersymmetric reduction with gauge group SO(d+1) (or larger), we provide evidence that an analogous reduction does not exist in the massive theory.

The potential between a test particle pair on the D3-brane in an external electric field is obtained. The critical field $E_c$ in this case is calculated. Also, we apply numerical method to evaluate the production rate for various cases. The results imply that the presence of chemical potential tends to suppress the pair production effect.

description: We suggest a theoretical framework for the description of double photon and proton-antiproton photoproduction off the proton gamma + p -> 2 gamma + p and gamma + p -> antip + p + p which takes into account the contribution of the scalar mesons f0(1370), f0(1500) and f0(1710). These scalars are considered as mixed states of a glueball and nonstrange and strange quarkonia. Our framework is based on the use of effective hadronic Lagrangians that phenomenologically take into account two-gluon exchange effects governing the gamma + p -> 2 gamma + p and gamma + p -> antip + p + p processes. Present results can be used to guide the possible search for these reactions by the GlueX Collaboration at JLab.

description: Statistische Methoden werden in vielen Studien eingesetzt, um Zusammenhänge von Variablen zu erklären. In mehreren Anwendungen der Regressionsanalyse ändern sich die Regressoren bei den Messungen oder im Lauf der Zeit. Zur Berechnung der sog. Morbiditätsveränderungsrate der gesetzlich Versicherten in Deutschland wird ein Kompressionsalgorithmus benutzt. Innerhalb des Kompressionsalgorithmus werden mehrere vorläufige und eine endgültige Regressionsrechnung zur Bestimmung der sog. Kostengewichte der Versicherten durchgeführt. Es handelt sich dabei jeweils um multiple, lineare Regressionsrechnungen mit dichotomen, unabhängigen Variablen ohne Intercept. Das Problem der Prävalenzänderungen entsteht dadurch, dass die Ärzte bei den gesetzlichen Versicherten die Krankheiten dokumentieren und es dabei von Jahr zu Jahr bzw. auch in unterschiedlichen Regionen (Bundesländer) unterschiedliche Entwicklungen gibt. Durch die Dokumentation der Krankheiten ändern sich von Jahr zu Jahr die Spalten der Regressormatrix, wenn sich die Prävalenzen der betrachteten Diagnosen ändern und die Auswirkungen auf Regressionskoeffzienten wird in dieser Arbeit untersucht. Besonders werden einige Eigenschaften des Verhaltens der Regressionskoeffizienten abgeleitet, wenn sich die Prävalenzen einzelner unabhängiger Variablen oder die Häufigkeiten des Auftretens einzelner Krankheitsgruppe ändern.

description: Excess GeV gamma rays from the Galactic Center (GC) have been measured with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). The presence of the GC excess (GCE) appears to be robust with respect to changes in the diffuse galactic background modeling. The three main proposals for the GCE are an unresolved population of millisecond pulsars (MSPs), outbursts of cosmic rays from the GC region, and self-annihilating dark matter (DM). The injection of secondary electrons and positrons into the interstellar medium (ISM) by an unresolved population of MSPs or DM annihilations can lead to observable gamma-ray emission via inverse Compton scattering or bremsstrahlung. Here we investigate how to determine whether secondaries are important in a model for the GCE. We develop a method of testing model fit which accounts for the different spatial morphologies of the secondary emission. We examine several models which give secondary emission and illustrate a case where a broadband analysis is not sufficient to determine the need for secondary emission.

description: Strange metallicity is now a pseudonym for a novel metallic state exhibiting anomalous infra-red (branch-cut) continuum features in one and two particle responses. Here, we employ dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) using very low-temperature continuous-time-quantum Monte-Carlo (CTQMC) solver for an extended periodic Anderson model (EPAM) model to investigate unusual magnetic fluctuations in the strange metal. We show how extinction of Landau quasiparticles in the orbital selective Mott phase (OSMP) leads to (i) qualitative explication of strange transport features and (ii) anomalous quantum critical magnetic fluctuations due to critical liquid-like features in dynamical spin fluctuations, in excellent accord with data in some f-electron systems.

Decreasing remifentanil induced hyperalgesia with perioperative administration of ketamine during spinal surgeries
Creators: name: Narkevic, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Purpose of project. Project aims were to educate anesthesia providers on the remifentanil induced hyperalgesia (RIH) and discuss intraoperative administration of ketamine and its role in decreasing RIH and postoperative pain, specifically during spinal surgeries. This aim was to yield an increase in ketamine usage during spinal surgeries where remifentanil was the primary anesthetic, as well as demonstrate a decrease in postoperative pain scores and narcotic consumption. Methodology. An educational powerpoint presentation was created and presented to anesthesia providers at a New Jersey hospital. 44 chart reviews from pre and post-intervention were reviewed, for a total of 88 chart reviews. Patient age, type and duration of surgery, total remifentanil administered intraoperatively, total opioid administered intraoperatively as well as postoperatively, ketamine use, and time to first medication for pain in PACU were recorded. Results were analyzed on ketamine usage prior to and after educational intervention, as well as total opioids received in PACU and minutes to first narcotic in PACU. Results. After conducting an analysis on data, it was found that while ketamine receiving patients had less PACU narcotic consumption and more time to first-dose narcotic, this was not statistically significant. In addition, there was no significant difference in total remifentanil consumption between groups or postoperative PCA pump prescription. Total narcotic administration in the ketamine group was statistically significantly higher than the non-ketamine receiving group. There was no statistically significant change in provider use of ketamine after the intervention. Implications. Further research and education of anesthesia providers on the added benefit of Ketamine in combating RIH is necessary to further assess providers willingness to change practice and the impact on postoperative pain scores. In addition, further data and analysis is needed for a more meaningful examination of the effect of ketamine on postoperative patients and their pain.
About the Ash Lad

description: About the Ash Lad is inspired by a Dano-Norwegian folktale collection by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe that was published in 1859. It is said that Henrik Ibsen, author of the original Peer Gynt drama, was inspired by this collection of folk tales of which the story “About Ash Lad , Who Stole the Troll’s Silver Ducks, Coverlet, and Golden Harp” (some other titles it is known by include “Boots and the Troll”), is a part of. In this piece, the unfolding of the story in the form of a suite is also inspired by the famous Grieg setting of Peer Gynt, as we follow the hero along his journey, through perils and triumphs.
 There are a total of nine small movements, all connected by a dance-like ‘Passage’ theme, that parallel the Ash Lad’s story as he ‘borrows’ three items from a Troll in order to win the local princesses hand in marriage and a decent half of the kingdom on top of that.
 It was an absolute joy to compose this work for the thoroughly amazing Inventi Ensemble, and I thank them for the opportunity to transport myself creatively into a world of fantasy and imagine my own sounds within this old Dano-Norwegian realm.

description: We study the main properties of the warm inflationary model based on Barrow's solution for the scale factor of the universe. Within this framework we calculate analytically the basic slow roll parameters for different versions of warm inflation. We test the performance of this inflationary scenario against the latest observational data and we verify that the predicted spectral index and the tensor-to-scalar fluctuation ratio are in excellent agreement with those of {\it Planck 2015}. Finally, we find that the current predictions are consistent with those of viable inflationary models.

description: A nearby source of Lyman-Werner (LW) photons is thought to be a central component in dissociating H$_2$ and allowing for the formation of a direct collapse black hole seed. Nearby sources are also expected to produce copious amounts of hydrogen ionising photons and X-ray photons. We study here the feedback effects of the X-ray photons by including a spectrum due to high-mass X-ray binaries on top of a galaxy with a stellar spectrum. We explicitly trace photon packages emerging from the nearby source and track the radiative and chemical effects of the multi-frequency source $(E_{\rm photon} = \rm{0.76\ eV \rightarrow 7500\ eV}$). We find that X-rays have a strongly negative feedback effect, compared to a stellar only source, when the radiative source is placed at a separation greater than $\gtrsim 1 \ \rm kpc$. The X-rays heat the low and medium density gas in the envelope surrounding the collapsing halo suppressing the mass inflow. The result is a smaller enclosed mass compared to the stellar only case. However, for separations of $\lesssim 1 \ \rm kpc$, the feedback effects of the X-rays becomes somewhat neutral. The enhanced LW intensity at close separations dissociates more H$_2$ and this gas is heated due to stellar photons alone, the addition of X-rays is then not significant. This distance dependence of X-ray feedback suggests that a Goldilocks zone exists close to a forming galaxy where X-ray photons have a much smaller negative feedback effect and ideal conditions exist for creating massive black hole seeds.

description: We investigate the thermodynamics of the Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole in the context of the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). The corrections to the Hawking temperature, entropy and the heat capacity are obtained via the modified Hamilton-Jacobi equation. These modifications show that the GUP changes the evolution of the Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole. Specially, the GUP effect becomes susceptible when the radius or mass of the black hole approaches the order of Planck scale, it stops radiating and leads to black hole remnant. Meanwhile, the Planck scale remnant can be confirmed through the analysis of the heat capacity. Those phenomena imply that the GUP may give a way to solve the information paradox. Besides, we also investigate the possibilities to observe the black hole at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and the results demonstrate that the black hole cannot be produced in the recent LHC.

Impact of home monitoring on heart failure readmission rate
Creators: name: Patel, Dhruv

description: AbstractPurpose: About 6 million people in United States have heart failure (HF). The life of a patient living with HF is plagued by episodes of acute exacerbation with life-threatening symptoms, and this results in frequent hospital visits and admissions. In 2012, HF related costs in our country were estimated to be up to $30 billion, and it is estimated these will increase to $70 billion by 2030. The median survival rate after hospitalization for HF is 2.5 years, and rehospitalization rates for HF exceed 20% within 30 days. Thus, it comes as no surprise that our healthcare institutions are implementing policies to target high HF-related admission rates. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effect of a home monitoring program for decompensated HF patients on 30-day hospital admissions and emergency department (ED) visits at one hospital. Methodology: 26 patients followed usual post discharge care, and 11 eligible patients were enrolled in a home monitoring program that called them twice a week for 4 weeks after discharge to monitor their patient-reported weight changes and symptoms. Hospital readmission rates and ED visits were compared between these pre- and postintervention groups. Results: The pilot did not find any statistically significant differences in 30-day readmission and ED visit rates between the two groups. It was discovered that patients who were adherent with daily weights and follow-up calls had less readmissions and ED visits than the patients who did not, however this requires further exploration due to the limitations of this study. Implications for Practice: Since readmissions for HF are associated with an increased burden to the patient, hospital and community, further exploration of home monitoring interventions is needed. Many patients did not have a weighing scale and funding should be acquired to provide a scale. Keywords: heart failure, readmissions, ED visits, home monitoring, telemonitoring
