Publisher: name: GO JOURNAL
Year: 2024
Subjects: Education, sustainability, environmental challenges

description: This work addresses the pressing challenges of today, emphasizing the urgent need for sustainability. Environmental degradation, social injustice, and economic instability are interrelated issues demanding immediate action. Sustainability offers a holistic approach to tackling these problems, ensuring that present needs are met without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet theirs. Environmental sustainability is crucial for protecting ecosystems and natural resources. Social sustainability involves building inclusive societies where everyone can access essentials like education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. Tackling social inequalities, fostering diversity and inclusion, and empowering marginalized groups are key to creating a fairer and more just world. Economic sustainability requires developing systems that are resilient, inclusive, and environmentally conscious. Achieving sustainability necessitates collective action on local, national, and global scales. Governments, businesses, civil society, and individuals all play vital roles in advancing sustainability goals through policy reforms, innovation, education, and advocacy. Ultimately, the call for sustainability is about more than just protecting the planet; it's about building a more prosperous, equitable, and resilient future for all. It is both a moral duty and a practical necessity in a world facing unprecedented challenges. The authors urge governments and other stakeholders to promote economic systems that are resilient, inclusive, and environmentally responsible. Furthermore, education should empower individuals to act as proactive agents of positive change in building a more sustainable and resilient society

description: Diisocyanates are a class of very reactive chemicals used in paints of the vehicle refinishing industry that are known to cause adverse health effects in the respiratory tract, skin, and eyes. Methods for determining the relationship between exposure to 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) monomer and its oligomers and their respective biomarker levels were investigated in 25 spray painters from 19 automotive repair shops in Washington state. The highest skin exposure estimates to HDI were observed using patches (4.81 ± 9.94 µg m-2) followed by patch-circles (0.69 ± 1.87 µg m-2) and then tape-strips (0.27 ± 0.79 µg m-2). Skin exposure to HDI isocyanurate (ISO) as measured by patches (725.00 ± 1195.92 µg m-2) and tape-strips (668.11 ± 1227.85 µg m-2) was higher than the level measured by patch-circles (191.33 ± 335.03 µg m-2). Neither plasma nor urine biomarker levels were significantly correlated with HDI or ISO exposure. Using linear mixed model analyses, the most significant work-related factors contributing to HDI exposure were coverall material (p = 0.002) and total daily paint time (p = 0.003). Total daily paint time also significantly contributed to ISO exposure (p = 0.022). Nitrile and neoprene gloves showed to be more protective than latex for skin exposure to ISO (p = 0.082). These analyses indicate that workers may be protected from exposure by reducing their total paint time and/or by wearing nitrile or neoprene gloves and nylon or olefin coveralls. However further investigation is necessary with properly timed sample collection and/or more sensitive methods to determine the relationship between HDI and ISO exposure and the respective biomarker levels in urine and blood.

description: Objective: Sleep patterns in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) appear to diverge from typical development in the second or third year of life. Little is known, however, about the occurrence of sleep problems in infants who later develop ASD and possible effects on early brain development. In a longitudinal neuroimaging study of infants at familial high or low risk for ASD, parent-reported sleep onset problems were examined in relation to subcortical brain volumes in the first 2 years of life. Methods: A total of 432 infants were included across three study groups: infants at high risk who developed ASD (N=71), infants at high risk who did not develop ASD (N=234), and infants at low risk (N=127). Sleep onset problem scores (derived from an infant temperament measure) were evaluated in relation to longitudinal high-resolution T1 and T2 structural imaging data acquired at 6, 12, and 24 months of age. Results: Sleep onset problems were more common at 6–12 months among infants who later developed ASD. Infant sleep onset problems were related to hippocampal volume trajectories from 6 to 24 months only for infants at high risk who developed ASD. Brain-sleep relationships were specific to the hippocampus; no significant relationships were found with volume trajectories of other subcortical structures examined (the amygdala, caudate, globus pallidus, putamen, and thalamus). Conclusions: These findings provide initial evidence that sleep onset problems in the first year of life precede ASD diagnosis and are associated with altered neurodevelopmental trajectories in infants at high familial risk who go on to develop ASD. If replicated, these findings could provide new insights into a potential role of sleep difficulties in the development of ASD.
The diagonal two-point correlations of the Ising model on the anisotropic triangular lattice and Garnier systems

description: The diagonal spin-spin correlations $ \langle σ_{0,0}σ_{N,N} \rangle $ of the Ising model on a triangular lattice with general couplings in the three directions are evaluated in terms of a solution to a three-variable extension of the sixth Painlevé system, namely a Garnier system. This identification, which is accomplished using the theory of bi-orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle with regular semi-classical weights, has an additional consequence whereby the correlations are characterised by a simple system of coupled, nonlinear recurrence relations in the spin separation $ N \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0} $. These later recurrence relations are an example of the discrete Garnier equations which, in turn, are extensions to the "discrete Painlevé V" system.

Health-Related Quality-of-Life Outcome Measures for Pediatric Palliative Care Populations: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: Wessell, Kathryn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Background: A key goal of palliative care is to improve the quality of life for patients and families living with serious illness.  However, valid, and reliable instruments are lacking to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in pediatric palliative care.  The objective of this systematic literature review is to update the previous review conducted by Coombes et al. and to explore recent literature and to summarize the measurement properties of identified patient- and parent-reported HRQOL outcome measures for pediatric palliative care appropriate patients.  
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted by searching EMBASE, Medline, and PsychInfo for recent assessment instruments that measure HRQOL in a life-limiting or life-threatening illness.  The psychometric properties of identified measures were evaluated and summarized using COnsensus based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidelines. 
Results: After removing duplicates, 1,401 records were screened of which 19 manuscripts of 18 studies were retained that supplied information about 12 HRQOL measures.  Measurement quality varied across studies.  Internal consistency and hypothesis testing for construct validity were most commonly assessed.  Most instruments lacked information on measurement invariance, responsiveness, and reliability. Information on measurement error was not available for any instrument.  No one instrument was identified as being appropriate for use in a non-disease specific pediatric palliative care population.  The PedsQL Epilepsy and QOLCE-55 showed promise for use in children with epilepsy and palliative care needs.  
Conclusion: There was limited evidence on the psychometric properties of HRQOL instruments in a pediatric palliative care population. Future directions are identified including the need for  additional research to test existing or develop new HRQOL outcome measures suitable for use in children and young people with serious and life-threatening illnesses.  Patient-reported outcome and experience measures are needed to assess and provide quality care for children and young people with life-limiting illnesses.  Generic measures that capture the daily burdens of living with life-limiting illness are needed to compare HRQOL across a variety of diseases and conditions.
     Public health leadership skills, such as agenda setting, advocacy, and policy promotion, are needed to accelerate the development and implementation of pediatric palliative care HRQOL measures.
Continuum Space Limit of the Genealogies of Interacting Fleming-Viot Processes on $\Z$

description: We study the evolution of genealogies of a population of individuals, whose type frequencies result in an interacting Fleming-Viot process on $\Z$. We construct and analyze the genealogical structure of the population in this genealogy-valued Fleming-Viot process as a marked metric measure space, with each individual carrying its spatial location as a mark. We then show that its time evolution converges to that of the genealogy of a continuum-sites stepping stone model on $\R$, if space and time are scaled diffusively. We construct the genealogies of the continuum-sites stepping stone model as functionals of the Brownian web, and furthermore, we show that its evolution solves a martingale problem. The generator for the continuum-sites stepping stone model has a singular feature: at each time, the resampling of genealogies only affects a set of individuals of measure $0$. Along the way, we prove some negative correlation inequalities for coalescing Brownian motions, as well as extend the theory of marked metric measure spaces (developed recently by Depperschmidt, Greven and Pfaffelhuber [DGP12]) from the case of probability measures to measures that are finite on bounded sets.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Exposure: Rwandan Households

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Nearly 3 billion people worldwide rely on the daily use of cookstoves, which contribute to household air pollution and a variety of adverse health effects. We examined polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure among 180 households in 22 villages in Gisenyi, Rwanda. During four surveys, we measured personal breathing-zone (BZ) and cooking area concentrations of the 16 PAHs in these households. We investigated how factors such as cooking location, stove type, and fuel type impacted PAH exposure. We also sought to understand whether the use of a cleaner-burning stove reduced PAH exposure. Naphthalene was the predominant PAH measured in both personal BZ and cooking area, with concentrations 10 – 20-fold higher than the other 15 PAHs. As expected, we observed that cooking inside a house resulted in higher personal BZ PAH exposure compared to cooking outside. The use of fuelwood was associated with the highest personal BZ exposure; the highest measured when fuelwood was used with the portable charcoal stove (4.49 µg/m3 ± 2.44). The lowest personal PAH exposures were measured when a gas cooker or electric stove was used for cooking.  The cooking area PAH concentrations were significantly higher than the personal BZ concentrations (for all surveys p ≤0.008). These exposures were similar to occupational exposures reported in fish smokehouses and bitumen refineries. We observed divergent results as to the effectiveness of the Mimi Moto stove in reducing PAH exposures as, in some cases, the use of traditionally less efficient cookstoves resulted in lower personal exposure than the use of Mimi Moto stove. Further research is warranted to elucidate if Mimi Moto and/or other gasifying cookstoves can be optimized to reduce PAH emissions. Our findings show significant exposure to PAHs with traditional cookstove use indoors and emphasize the importance of clean cookstove initiative projects that spread awareness and provide easier access to cleaner-burning cookstoves.

description: We explore in detail oscillations of the solar $^7$Be neutrinos in the matter of the Earth. The depth of oscillations is about $(0.1 - 0.2)\%$ and the length $\approx 30$ km. The period of the oscillatory modulations in the energy scale is comparable with the width of the line determined by the temperature in the center of the Sun. The latter means that depending on the length of trajectory (nadir angle) one obtains different degree of averaging of oscillations. Exploring these oscillations it is possible to measure the width of the $^7$Be line and therefore the temperature of the Sun, determine precisely $Δm^2_{21}$, perform tomography of the Earth, in particular, measure the deviation of its form from sphere, and detect small structures. Studies of the Be neutrinos open up a possibility to test quantum mechanics of neutrino oscillations and search for the sterile neutrinos. Accuracy of these measurements with future scintillator (or scintillator uploaded) detectors of the $\sim 100$ kton mass scale is estimated.

description: We are still in the early days of exoplanet discovery. Astronomers are beginning to model the atmospheres and interiors of exoplanets and have developed a deeper understanding of processes of planet formation and evolution. However, we have yet to map out the full complexity of multi-planet architectures or to detect Earth analogues around nearby stars. Reaching these ambitious goals will require further improvements in instrumentation and new analysis tools. In this chapter, we provide an overview of five observational techniques that are currently employed in the detection of exoplanets: optical and IR Doppler measurements, transit photometry, direct imaging, microlensing, and astrometry. We provide a basic description of how each of these techniques works and discuss forefront developments that will result in new discoveries. We also highlight the observational limitations and synergies of each method and their connections to future space missions.

description: The Higgs boson was postulated in 1964, and phenomenological studies of its possible production and decays started in the early 1970s, followed by studies of its possible production in electron-positron, antiproton-proton and proton-proton collisions, in particular. Until recently, the most sensitive searches for the Higgs boson were at LEP between 1989 and 2000, which were complemented by searches at the Fermilab Tevatron. Then the LHC experiments ATLAS and CMS entered the hunt, announcing on July 4, 2012 the discovery of a "Higgs-like" particle with a mass of about 125~GeV. This identification has been supported by subsequent measurements of its spin, parity and coupling properties. It was widely anticipated that the Higgs boson would be accompanied by supersymmetry, although other options, like compositeness, were not completely excluded. So far there are no signs any new physics, and the measured properties of the Higgs boson are consistent with the predictions of the minimal Standard Model. This article reviews some of the key historical developments in Higgs physics over the past half-century.

description: Data re-sampling methods such as the delete-one jackknife are a common tool for estimating the covariance of large scale structure probes. In this paper we investigate the concepts of internal covariance estimation in the context of cosmic shear two-point statistics. We demonstrate how to use log-normal simulations of the convergence field and the corresponding shear field to carry out realistic tests of internal covariance estimators and find that most estimators such as jackknife or sub-sample covariance can reach a satisfactory compromise between bias and variance of the estimated covariance. In a forecast for the complete, 5-year DES survey we show that internally estimated covariance matrices can provide a large fraction of the true uncertainties on cosmological parameters in a 2D cosmic shear analysis. The volume inside contours of constant likelihood in the $Ω_m$-$σ_8$ plane as measured with internally estimated covariance matrices is on average $\gtrsim 85\%$ of the volume derived from the true covariance matrix. The uncertainty on the parameter combination $Σ_8 \sim σ_8 Ω_m^{0.5}$ derived from internally estimated covariances is $\sim 90\%$ of the true uncertainty.

description: Excerpts from the report: The Tillamook Bay Drainage Basin is located in northwestern Oregon. It is bounded on the east by the crest of the Coast Mountain Range and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. The three resource areas considered in this study cover a total of 363,520 acres of which 323,050 acres are brush, cutover, and forested land on moderate to steep slopes and deeply incised canyons; 29,490 acres are non-forest and flat to gently sloping urban, agricultural and miscellaneous land; and 10,980 acres include the rivers and bay area. our large rivers, the Wilson, Trask, Kilchis and Tillamook enter the bay from the southeast while a fifth large river, the Miami, enters from the north and just opposite the entrance to the bay from the Pacific Ocean. Sediment in Tillamook Bay is a major problem. The continual deposition of sediment in the bay has caused adverse effects on shipping and navigation, commercial and sports fishing, oyster production and clamming, and on environmental and aesthetic qualities of the basin. The objectives of the study are to: (1) Inventory the gross erosion rates by suitable categories under present conditions, (2) Estimate the sediment yield under existing use and management. (3) Develop and evaluate alternative measures and land use management plans, (4) Estimate future sediment yields for various alternative land use management plans, (5) Assess economic effects of soil erosion and sedimentation, and evaluate economic consequences of proposed alternative solutions or plans. (6) Recommend opportunities for implementation of erosion and sedimentation control measures.
description: Sediment is the primary problem that prompted the Oregon State Water Resources Department and the Tillamook Bay Task Force to request the U.S. Department of Agriculture to conduct this study.

description: We estimate the thermalization time in two colliding shock waves holographic model of heavy-ion collisions. For this purpose we model the process by the Vaidya metric with a horizon defined by the trapped surface location. We consider two bottom-up AdS/QCD models that give, within the colliding shock waves approach, the dependence of multiplicity on the energy compatible with RHIC and LHC results. One model is a bottom-up AdS/QCD confining model and the other is related to an anisotropic thermalization. We estimate the thermalization time and show that increasing the confining potential decreases the thermalization time as well as an anisotropy accelerates the thermalization.

description: This study aims to evaluate the extent to which treated North Carolina drinking water is contaminated with waste originating from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) lagoons. Through this project a profile of six heavy metals associated with CAFO pollution was developed for nine different North Carolina River Basins. The mean values of heavy metal concentrations in parts per billion were calculated for each basin, then contrasted with the number of CAFOs per square kilometer in each basin. Arsenic concentrations had a significant positive correlation (R^2 = 0.5131) with proportion of CAFOs even in treated drinking water. Other heavy metals did not have significant correlations with proportion of CAFOs in treated drinking water. All heavy metal concentrations were below the National Primary Drinking Water Regulations set by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Essential services of clinical librarians in academic and health care settings: A cross-sectional study: Postprint
Creators: name: Carlson, Rebecca
name: Wright, Sarah Towner
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: This paper provides a comprehensive summary of clinical librarian service models in the US, Canada, and the UK from a cross-sectional study. An online survey received 182 responses from clinical librarians in hospital (62%), academic (26%), and other (10%) libraries. These clinical librarians shared the services they provide, patrons they work with, and their perceptions of the value they add to clinical environments. Overall, this study quantifies the services offered most frequently by clinical librarians, the services felt to be most valuable, and the variety of health care clientele whom clinical librarians serve. These findings have implications for current clinical librarians, libraries and health care institutions, and for those who may become clinical librarians in the future.

PublicHealthConnect: Developing an Online Toolkit for Improving Websites of Local Health Departments in North Carolina
Creators: name: Moore, Branson

Year: 2019
Subjects: Interviews
Community health services

description: (Taken from Introduction) Given the varying quality and the need to provide more support for the improvement of local health department (LHD) websites, this project aims to develop a website toolkit to help optimize web content that will be more engaging for visitors, which, in turn, will help support communication efforts at LHDs in North Carolina. This effort is consistent with statewide and national initiatives to strengthen local public health. This toolkit will serve as a step toward communicating a public health “brand” through North Carolina’s LHDs (Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, 2017); it will not be a rigid standard, but rather a path to implement best practices and improve the user experience. This toolkit will help LHDs avoid spending too much time and resources into making dozens of updates and will instead help them focus the importance of what local public health can provide and how it can provide it (Rumelt, 2011). This toolkit, which does not exist in any form for North Carolina’s LHDs, will help LHD staff members better communicate resources to their local populations/audiences without concerning themselves with best practices for web content.

description: We prove the local energy decay and the smoothing effect for the damped Schr{ö}dinger equation on R^d. The self-adjoint part is a Laplacian associated to a long-range perturbation of the flat metric. The proofs are based on uniform resolvent estimates obtained by the dissipative Mourre method. All the results depend on the strength of the dissipation which we consider.

description: The author investigated the framing process of the 2019-20 Hong Kong protest movement and the prevalence of news frames identified in earlier studies on political framing. The characteristics of each message were also investigated. The author content analyzed 502 Weibo posts collected from three Chinese state-owned media: People’s Daily (人民日报), CCTV (央视新闻), and Global Times (环球时报). According to this study’s findings, certain events in the period surrounding the 2019-20 Hong Kong demonstrations followed a four-step framing process: diagnostic framing, prognostic framing, motivational framing and framing of results. The results also showed that, overall, the law and order, crime and justice frame occurred most frequently, followed by the morality, cultural identity, security and defense and quality of life frame respectively. Posts with high engagement tended to embrace the following characteristics: short and concise content, strong symbolic representations, low-risk mobilization, presence of strong emotional components and visualization elements.

Minimum time control of a pair of two-level quantum systems with opposite drifts

description: In this paper we solve two equivalent time optimal control problems. On one hand, we design the control field to implement in minimum time the SWAP (or equivalent) operator on a two-level system, assuming that it interacts with an additional, uncontrollable, two-level system. On the other hand, we synthesize the SWAP operator simultaneously, in minimum time, on a pair of two-level systems subject to opposite drifts. We assume that it is possible to perform three independent control actions, and that the total control strength is bounded. These controls either affect the dynamics of the target system, under the first perspective, or, simultaneously, the dynamics of both systems, in the second view. We obtain our results by using techniques of geometric control theory on Lie groups. In particular, we apply the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, and provide a complete characterization of singular and non-singular extremals. Our analysis shows that the problem can be formulated as the motion of a material point in a central force, a well known system in classical mechanics. Although we focus on obtaining the SWAP operator, many of the ideas and techniques developed in this work apply to the time optimal implementation of an arbitrary unitary operator.

description: Background and Aims Wearable inertial sensors may offer additional kinematic parameters of the shoulder compared to traditional instruments such as goniometers when elaborate and time-consuming data processing procedures are undertaken. However, in clinical practice simple-real time motion analysis is required to improve clinical reasoning. Therefore, the aim was to assess the criterion validity between a portable "off-the-shelf" sensor-software system (IMU) and optical motion (Mocap) for measuring kinematic parameters during active shoulder movements. Methods 24 healthy participants (9 female, 15 male, age 29 +/- 4 years, height 177 +/- 11 cm, weight 73 +/- 14 kg) were included. Range of motion (ROM), total range of motion (TROM), peak and mean angular velocity of both systems were assessed during simple (abduction/adduction, horizontal flexion/horizontal extension, vertical flexion/extension, and external/internal rotation) and complex shoulder movements. Criterion validity was determined using intraclass-correlation coefficients (ICC), root mean square error (RMSE) and Bland and Altmann analysis (bias; upper and lower limits of agreement). Results ROM and TROM analysis revealed inconsistent validity during simple (ICC: 0.040-0.733, RMSE: 9.7 degrees-20.3 degrees, bias: 1.2 degrees-50.7 degrees) and insufficient agreement during complex shoulder movements (ICC: 0.104-0.453, RMSE: 10.1 degrees-23.3 degrees, bias: 1.0 degrees-55.9 degrees). Peak angular velocity (ICC: 0.202-0.865, RMSE: 14.6 degrees/s-26.7 degrees/s, bias: 10.2 degrees/s-29.9 degrees/s) and mean angular velocity (ICC: 0.019-0.786, RMSE:6.1 degrees/s-34.2 degrees/s, bias: 1.6 degrees/s-27.8 degrees/s) were inconsistent. Conclusions The "off-the-shelf" sensor-software system showed overall insufficient agreement with the gold standard. Further development of commercial IMU-software-solutions may increase measurement accuracy and permit their integration into everyday clinical practice.

description: We consider the Singlet Majorana fermion dark matter model, in which the standard model particles interact with the dark sector through the mixing of a singlet scalar and the Higgs boson. In this model both the dark matter and the singlet scalar carry lepton number, the latter being a bilepton. We suppose the existence of a $Z_2$ symmetry, remnant of some high energy local symmetry breaking, that stabilizes the Majorana fermion. We analyzed the parameter space of this model and found that the lepton number symmetry breaking scale, drove by the singlet scalar, is constrained to be within hundreds to thousands of GeV, so as to conform with the observed dark matter relic density. Finally, we address the direct detection and invisible Higgs decay complementarity, confronting our model with recent LUX and LHC constraints, as well as XENON1T prospects.
