description: Recent time-resolved X-ray spectra of a neutron star undergoing a superburst revealed an Fe K line and edge consistent with reprocessing from the surrounding accretion disc. Here, we present models of X-ray reflection from a constant density slab illuminated by a blackbody, the spectrum emitted by a neutron star burst. The calculations predict a prominent Fe K line and a rich soft X-ray line spectrum which is superimposed on a strong free-free continuum. The lines slowly vanish as the ionization parameter of the slab is increased, but the free-free continuum remains dominant at energiesless than 1 keV. The reflection spectrum has a quasi-blackbody shape only at energies greater than 3 keV. If the incident blackbody is added to the reflection spectrum, the Fe K equivalent width varies between 100 and 300 eV depending on the ionization parameter and the temperature, kT, of the blackbody. The equivalent width is correlated with kT, and therefore we predict a strong Fe K line when an X-ray burst is at its brightest (if iron is not too ionized or the reflection amplitude too small). Extending the study of reflection features in the spectra of superbursts to lower energies would provide further constraints on the accretion flow. If the Fe K line or other features are relativistically broadened then they can determine the system inclination angle (which leads to the neutron star mass), and, if the mass is known, a lower-limit to the mass/radius ratio of the star.

Correlating $ε^\prime/ε$ to hadronic $B$ decays via $U(2)^3$ flavour symmetry

description: There are strong similarities between charge-parity (CP) violating observables in hadronic $B$ decays (in particular $ΔA^-_{\rm CP}$ in $B\to Kπ$) and direct CP violation in Kaon decays ($ε^\prime$): All these observables are very sensitive to new physics (NP) which is at the same time CP and isospin violating (i.e. NP with complex couplings which are different for up quarks and down quarks). Intriguingly, both the measurements of $ε^\prime$ and $ΔA^-_{\rm CP}$ show deviations from their Standard Model predictions, calling for a common explanation (the latter is known as the $B\to Kπ$ puzzle). For addressing this point, we parametrize NP using a gauge invariant effective field theory approach combined with a global $U(2)^3$ flavor symmetry in the quark sector (also known as less-minimal flavour violation). We first determine the operators which can provide a common explanation of $ε^\prime$ and $ΔA^-_{\rm CP}$ and then perform a global fit of their Wilson coefficients to the data from hadronic $B$ decays. Here we also include e.g. the recently measured CP asymmetry in $B_s\to KK$ as well as the purely isospin violating decay $B_s\toϕρ^0$, finding a consistent NP pattern providing a very good fit to data. Furthermore, we can at the same time explain $ε^\prime/ε$ for natural values of the free parameters within our $U(2)^3$ flavour approach, and this symmetry gives interesting predictions for hadronic decays involving $b\to d$ transitions.

Mitigating Caregiver Burden
Creators: name: Frederick, Dorothea S
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

Abstract
Informal caregiving is the most common form of long-term care provided in the United States, and with the projected rapid growth of older adults, informal caregiving will be even more critical in the foreseeable future.  In the United States, slightly more than 20% of informal caregivers provide care for more than one care recipient, and 10% provide care for three or more care recipients. Caring for a dependent, older adult patient may have negative effects on physical, psychological, psychosocial, social and financial health of caregivers. Careful assessment of the impact of informal caregiving on the caregiver’s functioning is imperative, and will enable a practitioner to not only find ways to help caregivers shoulder the effects of caregiving, but also to measure the effectiveness of interventions that seek to mitigate the effects of caregiving.

description: We calculate the cross section for the exclusive production of J^{PC}=0^{++} glueballs G_0 in association with the J/psi in e^+e^- annihilation using the pQCD factorization formalism. The required long-distance matrix element for the glueball is bounded by CUSB data from a search for resonances in radiative Upsilon decay. The cross section for e^+e^- -> J/psi+ G_0 at sqrt{s}=10.6 GeV is similar to exclusive charmonium-pair production e^+e^- -> J/psi+h for h=eta_c and chi_{c0}, and is larger by a factor 2 than that for h=eta_{c}(2S). As the subprocesses gamma^* -> (c c-bar) (c c-bar) and gamma^* -> (c c-bar) (g g) are of the same nominal order in perturbative QCD, it is possible that some portion of the anomalously large signal observed by Belle in e^+ e^- -> J/psi X may actually be due to the production of charmonium-glueball J/psi G_J pairs.

"PLMIX: An R Package for Modeling and Clustering Partially
Ranked Data"

by Cristina Mollica and Luca Tardella

The PLMIX package o ffers a comprehensive framework aimed at endowing the R statistical environment with some recent methodological advances in modeling and clustering partially ranked data. The usefulness of the PLMIX package can be motivated from several perspectives: (i) it contributes to ll the gap concerning Bayesian estimation of ranking models in R, by focusing on the Plackett-Luce model and its extension within the nite mixture approach as the generative sampling distribution; (ii) it addresses computational complexity by combining the flexibility of R routines and the speed of compiled C++ code, with possibly parallel execution; (iii) it covers the fundamental phases of ranking data analysis allowing for a more careful and critical application of ranking models in real contexts; (iv) it provides eff ective tools for clustering heterogeneous partially ranked data. Specfii c S3 classes and methods are also supplied to enhance the usability and foster exchange with other packages.
The functionality of the novel package is illustrated with several applications to simulated and real datasets.

description: Linear dynamics restricted to invariant submanifolds generally gives rise to nonlinear dynamics. Submanifolds in the quantum framework may emerge for several reasons: one could be interested in specific properties possessed by a given family of states, either as a consequence of experimental constraints or inside an approximation scheme. In this work we investigate such issues in connection with a one parameter group $ϕ_t$ of transformations on a Hilbert space, $\mathcal{H}$, defining the unitary evolutions of a chosen quantum system. Two procedures will be presented: the first one consists in the restriction of the vector field associated with the Schrödinger equation to a submanifold invariant under the flow $ϕ_t$. The second one makes use of the Lagrangian formalism and can be extended also to non-invariant submanifolds, even if in such a case the resulting dynamics is only an approximation of the flow $ϕ_t$. Such a result, therefore, should be conceived as a generalization of the variational method already employed for stationary problems.

Education Intervention of Preconception Screening in Primary Care
Creators: name: Schuler, Tracy
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

Problem: The risk of a poor pregnancy outcome among women of reproductive age in Providence, Rhode Island is indicated by the high rates of unintended pregnancies, low multivitamin use prior to pregnancy, obesity, and smoking. Although recommended, health professionals often fail to routinely screen and educate women of reproductive age for preconception risk factors. Purpose: Evaluate the efficacy of an educational intervention on preconception risk factors, lifestyle modifications, and current screening recommendations; and introduce a preconception tool and education sheet among a population of health care providers. Method: Preconception health material and a modified preconception screening tool was presented to seven primary care providers. A pre-test, post-test design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention, followed by an informal interview about current practices. Preconception referrals were compared two months prior and two months after the intervention. A follow-up survey was given to each provider. Findings: Although all of the providers agreed preconception screening is necessary, only two stated they screened all their patients of reproductive age. Four providers stated they could see themselves using the tool; however, barriers included time and frustration with another form. The posttest did indicate an increased provider knowledge in lifestyle modifications and risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Preconception referrals remained the same. The education sheet was made into a poster for each exam room following the intervention. Conclusion: The intervention was successful at educating providers on preconception risk factors and lifestyle modifications; however, mailing the preconception tool with the new patient packet could potentially increase sustainability in the future at this primary care facility.

description: Proper-motion, star counts and photometric catalog simulations are used to explain the detected stellar over-density in the region of Canis Major (CMa), claimed to be the core of a disrupted dwarf galaxy (Martin et al. 2004, Bellazzini et al. 2003), as due to the Galactic warp and flare in the external disk. We compare the kinematics of CMa M-giant selected sample with surrounding Galactic disk stars in the UCAC2 catalog and find no peculiar proper motion signature: CMa stars mimic thick disk kinematics. Moreover, when taking into account the Galactic warp and flare of the disk, 2MASS star count profiles reproduce the CMa stellar over-density. This star count analysis is confirmed by direct comparison with synthetic color-magnitude diagrams simulated with the Besancon models (Robin et al. 2003) that include the warp and flare of the disk. The presented evidence casts doubt on the identification of the CMa over-density as the core of a disrupted Milky Way satellite. This however does not make clear the origin of over-densities responsible for the ring structure in the anticenter direction of the Galactic halo (Newberg et al. 2002; Yanny et al. 2003; Zaggia et al. 2004, in preparation).

description: We present infrared (AAT, UKIRT) and radio (VLA, SEST) observations of the Eye of the Tornado, a compact source apparently near the head of the Tornado Nebula. The near-infrared Br-gamma and He I lines are broad (FWHM 40 and 30 km/s, respectively) and have a line centre at Vlsr = -205 km/s. This corresponds to a feature at the same velocity in the 12CO J=1-0 line profile. The kinematic velocity derived from Galactic rotation places the Eye at the distance of the Galactic Centre (i.e. 8.5 kpc) and separated (probably foreground) from the Tornado Nebula. Four knots of emission are seen in the Br-gamma line and at 6 and 20 cm. Together with the flat radio spectral index, we confirm that the Eye contains ionized gas, but that this is embedded within a dense molecular core. The spectral energy distribution can be modelled as a two-component blackbody + greybody, peaking at far-IR wavelengths. The knots are UC HII regions, and the core contains a luminous (2 x 10^4 Lsun), embedded, massive young stellar source. We also propose a geometrical model for the Eye to account for both its spectral energy distribution and its morphology.

Prevention of Burnout by Use of Balint Method of Group Therapy
Creators: name: Runge, David A
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

Abstract
Background: The prevention of burnout and intention to leave the profession in newly graduated nurse practitioners and physician assistants is necessary to keep this highly trained segment of the workforce engaged in providing healthcare. Intention to leave the profession is a concerning trait and is often due to burnout. Purpose: The tool used in this project was the Balint method of group therapy, which is a British -psychoanalytical approach to making a better clinician. The purpose of these therapy sessions was to support and mentor the growth and development of newly graduated nurse practitioners and physician assistants in their first year transitioning from a student role to professional. Methods: Burnout prevention through group therapy and mentorship was offered at a large medical center in the Northeast in order to increase job satisfaction and cause these important clinicians not to leave the profession. Thirteen Balint sessions were held over several weeks with eight participants. Results: Although the new graduates who attended reported no objective signs of burnout according to the Copenhagen tool used, they did report subjectively situations of concern including how they were treated by physicians and office staff. I think you need to add the results of your burnout prevention session using the Balint method. Conclusions: The sessions were not mandatory and not everyone who was eligible attended, however the sessions were well received and participants found them helpful. Recommendations are that this project be incorporated at the site’s residency program and become a sustainable part of the orientation of new clinicians with more experienced providers incorporated in the future.

description: In this study, we experimentally analyze the investment behavior of smallholder farmers in Uganda. We consider a problem of optimal stopping, stylizing an option to invest in a project. We ascertain whether, and to what extent, the real options approach and the classical investment theory can predict farmers’ investment behaviors. We also examine differences in the investment behavior with respect to the presence of a price floor, which is often used to stimulate investments. Furthermore, we look at learning effects. Our results show that both theories do not exactly explain the observed investment behavior. However, our results suggest that real options models better predict the decision behavior of farmers than the classical investment theory. The presence of a price floor and learning from personal experience during the experiment do not significantly affect the investment behavior. However, we find that specific socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics affect the investment behavior of farmers.

description: We present and analyse 12CO, 13CO and C18O(2-1) ALMA observations of the C1 globule inside the Helix nebula in order to determine its physical properties. Our findings confirm the molecular nature of the globule with a multi-peak structure. The 12CO line has a high optical depth of about 10. The derived 12C/13C ratio of 10 and 16O/18O ratio of 115 are not in agreement with the expected isotopic ratios of carbon-rich AGB stars. Assuming that the 12CO optical depth has been underestimated, we can find a consistent fit for an initial mass of 2 Msol. We obtain a molecular mass of 2x10-4 Msol for the C1 globule, which is much higher than its mass in the literature. Clumping could play a role in the high molecular mass of the knot. The origin of the tail is discussed. Our findings show that the most probable model appears to be shadowing. The kinematics and molecular morphology of the knot are not consistent with a wind-swept model and the photoevaporation model alone is not enough to explain the nature of the globule. We propose an integrated model where the effects of the photoevaporation, the stream and shadowing models are all considered in the tail shaping process.

description: We study bound orbits near the centres of static, spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat configurations of a self-gravitating scalar field minimally coupled to gravity. In our approach, a nonlinear scalar field is considered as an idealized model of dark matter, and the main examples that we have in mind are the centres of galaxies. We consider both scalar field black holes (SFBHs) and scalar field naked singularities (SFNSs). It turns out that the shape and parameters of a bound orbit depend crucially on the type of configuration. The lapse metric function of a SFNS and, consequently, the effective potential of a massive test particle with zero angular momentum have a global minimum. A SFNS has a static degenerated orbit on which a test particle, having zero angular momentum and the minimum of its energy, remains at rest at all times. This implies that there exists a spherical shell consisting of cold gas or dust, which for a distant observer can look like the shadow of a black hole. We also study the shape of noncircular bound orbits close to the centres of SFNSs and show that their angles of precession are negative.

description: We systematically investigate the embedding of U(1)_X Froggatt-Nielsen models in (four-dimensional) local supersymmetry. We restrict ourselves to models with a single flavon field. We do not impose a discrete symmetry by hand, e.g. R-parity, baryon-parity or lepton-parity. Thus we determine the order of magnitude of the baryon- and/or lepton violating coupling constants through the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism. We then scrutinize whether the predicted coupling constants are in accord with weak or GUT scale constraints. Many models turn out to be incompatible.

description: An elliptic divisibility sequence (EDS) is a sequence of integers W_0,W_1,W_2,... generated by the nonlinear recursion satisfied by the division polyomials of an elliptic curve. We give a formula for the sign of W_n for unbounded nonsingular elliptic divisibility sequences. A typical case is Sign(W_n) = (-1)^[n*b] for an irrational real number b, where [x] denotes the greatest integer in x. As an application, we show that the associated sequence of absolute values |W_1|,|W_2|,|W_3|,... cannot be realized as the sequence counting fixed points of any (abstract) dynamical system.

Increasing Medication Adherence in Young Adults With Latent Tuberculosis Infection: An Intervention for Quaity Improvement
Creators: name: St.Pierre-Thibodeau, Stacy
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2016

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) and latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) affect a large number of persons worldwide. It is estimated that of the 15 million people infected in the United States, many are unaware of their diagnosis. Purpose: This quality improvement project focused on a more effective medication and self-management regime for treatment at a federal training program in a small rural community in Maine. The target population included young people who had tested positive for TB, many of whom are foreign born and identified as individuals at high risk for disease. Results: Through a supervised and monitored program of education, caring, and support at the conclusion of the project, participants completed their prescribed twelve-week medication regime incorporating Isoniazid and Rifapentine once weekly, and vitamin B6 daily under direct observed therapy. Each patient was given an Omaha KBS (Knowledge, Behavior, Status) ranking upon admission and discharge to evaluate current level of knowledge, their health behaviors, and the status of the disease. Conclusions: Prior to the implementation of project the preventative medication completion rates were less than 50% at this facility. Jean Watson’s Theory of Caring was utilized to achieve an increase to 100% adherence to the TB and LTBI medication regime. As a result of the increased adherence rates noted during this project, the programs headquarters is looking at implementing this project nationally across all centers.

Methods: A convenient sample of 10 participants who met the inclusion criterion consented to take part of the educational program. The Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale was utilized to measure outcomes of the program. In addition to that, each participant’s blood pressure was checked at pre and post intervention. Results: The statistical test of paired t-test was used to analyze data. The pre intervention scores had a mean of 21. 80 (SD= 1.55) and the post intervention scores had a mean of 18.30 (SD=1.32). The correlation between pre and post scores was 0.44 (P= 0.21). The mean differences between pre and posttest scores were 3.50 (SD= 4.86). The resulting t-value with 9 degrees of freedom is 2.28, p= 0.05. There was no statistical difference found between pre and post intervention scores and BP measurements. Conclusion: Hypertension is known to be a silent killer and poor adherence to blood pressure medications and treatment therapy is a major risk for cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Even though the outcome of the educational program did not seen a significant change in such a short time, there is a possible lasting effect of the education in the long run. A culturally appropriate educational program that is employed using oral communication, storing telling or visual images has the potential to make a profound change both in the individual and within the community.

description: Using the HEGRA system of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, the Andromeda galaxy (M31) was surveyed for TeV gamma ray emission. Given the large field of view of the HEGRA telescopes, three pointings were sufficient to cover all of M31, including also M32 and NGC205. No indications for point sources of TeV gamma rays were found. Upper limits are given at a level of a few percent of the Crab flux. A specific search for monoenergetic gamma-ray lines from annihilation of supersymmetric dark matter particles accumulating near the center of M31 resulted in flux limits in the 10^-13/cm^2s range, well above the predicted MSSM flux levels except for models with pronounced dark-matter spikes or strongly enhanced annihilation rates.

A Friendly Adolescent Care Environment for Utilization of a Pregnancy Prevention Program (FACE-UP): Providing Pregnancy Prevention Strategies for At-Risk Youth
Creators: name: Turner, Ashley
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Problem: Teen pregnancy often results in a variety of economic and social costs for the adolescents and their children. Despite recent declines, teen pregnancy rates continue to be the highest in the United States versus other industrialized nations. Purpose: Evaluate the efficacy of an educational intervention DNP project, called the Friendly Adolescent Care Environment for Utilization of a Pregnancy Prevention Model (FACE-UP), in providing pregnancy prevention strategies to at-risk high school students in Washington, D.C. The goal of this educational intervention was to decrease risk behavior patterns and increase knowledge to empower student participants. Method: The Realityworks’ Healthy Choices Curriculum was implemented in a class of ninth grade students, 9 males and 17 females over a nine-week period. Additionally, a Parent Seminar was held to improve communication between parents and their children on love, relationships, and sex using the Parent-Child Communication Basics Curriculum. Pre- and post-test assessments, student surveys, and parent surveys were used to evaluate the intervention. Paired Samples t-test with comparisons were used for pre- and post-assessment comparison. Findings: There was no significant decrease in sexual risk factors based on sexual activity and contraception use, although 30% of students stated that they were less likely to have sexual intercourse during the next year. Although the Parent Seminar had a lower participation rate than expected, 75% of parents stated that the seminar helped them to understand the importance of communication.
Nurse-Run Sexually Transmitted Infections Screening Clinics on a University Campus
Creators: name: Becker, Ann
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), chlamydia, and gonorrhea prevalence in young adults is higher than in any other segment of the population and has been increasing at alarming rates. Young adults on university campuses experience high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STI), yet many are not getting tested due to a lack of easy-to-access screening opportunities. Young men who have sex with men and minorities are at increased risk.
Methods: This DNP Project was a program evaluation of the nurse-led STI screening clinics held at a northeastern university in the fall of 2016. The evaluation included patient and provider surveys, which collected demographic information, risk factors, as well as satisfaction feedback. The health service laboratory provided data on positivity rates and numbers of tests conducted before and during the study period.  The goal was to assess the effectiveness of off-site clinics in increasing testing rates, decreasing positivity rates, and in reaching high-risk students.
Results: Surveys indicated that students at high-risk for STIs or HIV attended the clinics in high numbers. Patient satisfaction was high at 95% overall, although there were confidentiality concerns related to billing insurance. The HIV and STI testing rate increased by 25% and 33% respectively between 2015 and 2016. Chlamydia and gonorrhea positive test rates increased between 2015 and 2016. Posters and the website were the most noted method of communication. Staff satisfaction was high, 67% of staff indicated a need for increased staffing.
Discussion: Nurse-led STI clinics were able to increase STI and HIV screening opportunities particularly for those at increased risk for STI or HIV acquisition. Positivity rates are increasing nationwide and increased awareness, screening and treatment is needed.
Domain wall generation by fermion self-interaction and light particles

description: A possible explanation for the appearance of light fermions and Higgs bosons on the four-dimensional domain wall is proposed. The mechanism of light particle trapping is accounted for by a strong self-interaction of five-dimensional pre-quarks. We obtain the low-energy effective action which exhibits the invariance under the so called τ-symmetry. Then we find a set of vacuum solutions which break that symmetry and the five-dimensional translational invariance. One type of those vacuum solutions gives rise to the domain wall formation with consequent trapping of light massive fermions and Higgs-like bosons as well as massless sterile scalars, the so-called branons. The induced relations between low-energy couplings for Yukawa and scalar field interactions allow to make certain predictions for light particle masses and couplings themselves, which might provide a signature of the higher dimensional origin of particle physics at future experiments. The manifest translational symmetry breaking, eventually due to some gravitational and/or matter fields in five dimensions, is effectively realized with the help of background scalar defects. As a result the branons acquire masses, whereas the ratio of Higgs and fermion (presumably top-quark) masses can be reduced towards the values compatible with the present-day phenomenology. Since the branons do not couple to fermions and the Higgs bosons do not decay into branons, the latter ones are essentially sterile and stable, what makes them the natural candidates for the dark matter in the Universe.

description: We present the weak lensing analysis of 279 CODEX clusters using imaging data from 4200 $\text{deg}^{2}$ of the DECam Legacy Survey (DECaLS) Data Release 3. The cluster sample results from a joint selection in X-ray, optical richness in the range $20 \leq λ< 110$, and redshift in the range $0.1 \leq z \leq 0.2$. We model the cluster mass ($M_{\rm 200c}$) and the richness relation with the expression $\left\langle M_{\rm 200c} | λ\right\rangle \propto M_{0} \, (λ/ 40)^{F_λ}$. By measuring the CODEX cluster sample as an individual cluster, we obtain the best-fit values, $M_{0} = 3.24^{+0.29}_{-0.27} \times 10^{14} \text{M}_{\odot}$, and $F_λ = 1.00 ^{+0.22}_{-0.22}$ for the richness scaling index, consistent with a power law relation. Moreover, we separate the cluster sample into three richness groups; $λ= 20 - 30, 30 - 50$ and $50 - 110$, and measure the stacked excess surface mass density profile in each group. The results show that both methods are consistent. In addition, we find an excellent agreement between our weak lensing based scaling relation and the relation obtained with dynamical masses estimated from cluster member velocity dispersions measured by the SDSS-IV/SPIDERS team. This suggests that the cluster dynamical equilibrium assumption involved in the dynamical mass estimates is statistically robust for a large sample of clusters.

Improving Mobility for Older Adults in the Acute Rehabilitation Setting
Creators: name: Kucienski, Joan E
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Purpose: This Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) scholarly quality improvement project focused on implementing a Get Up and Go exercise program to increase mobility in an acute 80 bed rehabilitation facility. The goal of increased exercise was for patients to return to their pre-hospital level of function. Methods: This quality improvement projects’ purpose was aimed at increasing mobility to three times a day in patients over the age of 65. Caregivers were educated on the exercise Get Up and Go, along with the documentation of the increased mobility in the electronic medical record.  The DNP Project took place over four months. Results: The outcome of this DNP Project was the recognition by staff (including physical therapists) of the importance of their role in getting patients out of bed. The outcomes measured included how often patients participated in getting out of bed on a daily basis. Conclusion: This DNP project’s original goal was to have patients return to pre-hospital function status. This goal was not met due to the project changing goals as the actual implementation unfolded. The final goal that was achieved became educating staff on the importance of increased mobility. Overall participation towards this goal increased.
Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among Older Adults with Generalized Anxiety Disorder in Long-Term Care
Creators: name: Nwadiugwu, Scholastica
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

Abstract
Background: Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) among the older adults is characterized by excessive worries and major anxiety. The impairment and disability resulting from GAD indicates a significant mental health problem in long term care settings. In the United States, the lifetime prevalence of The Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-1V) GAD is 5.1% to 11.9%. Evidence-based treatment for GAD in the older adult becomes a challenge due to the concern of frailty, comorbidity and drug side effects. Purpose: To implement the utilization of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in the older adult population with GAD in a long-term care setting. Method: Based on an extensive review of research, a project was designed and conducted to offer the basic knowledge of CBT to nurses for the treatment of GAD. Outcome evaluation was based on post-implementation questionnaire. Conclusion: The nurse participants were clear that they valued CBT and perceived it helpful for the older adult with GAD, but they needed to be trained proper and increase utilization of CBT.
Keywords: Generalized anxiety disorder, older adult, cognitive-behavioral therapy.

description: We present deep images of dust continuum emission at 450, 800, and 850 micron of the dark cloud LDN 1689N which harbors the low-mass young stellar objects (YSOs) IRAS 16293-2422A and B (I16293A and I16293B) and the cold prestellar object I16293E. Toward the positions of I16293A and E we also obtained spectra of CO-isotopomers and deep submillimeter observations of chemically related molecules with high critical densities. To I16293A we report the detection of the HDO 1_01 - 0_00 and H2O 1_10 - 1_01 ground-state transitions as broad self-reversed emission profiles with narrow absorption, and a tentative detection of H2D+ 1_10 - 1_11. To I16293E we detect weak emission of subthermally excited HDO 1_01 - 0_00. Based on this set of submillimeter continuum and line data we model the envelopes around I16293A and E. The density and velocity structure of I16293A is fit by an inside-out collapse model, yielding a sound speed of a=0.7 km/s, an age of t=(0.6--2.5)e4 yr, and a mass of 6.1 Msun. The density in the envelope of I16293E is fit by a radial power law with index -1.0+/-0.2, a mass of 4.4 Msun, and a constant temperature of 16K. These respective models are used to study the chemistry of the envelopes of these pre- and protostellar objects. The [HDO]/[H2O] abundance ratio in the warm inner envelope of I16293A of a few times 1e-4 is comparable to that measured in comets. This supports the idea that the [HDO]/[H2O] ratio is determined in the cold prestellar core phase and conserved throughout the formation process of low-mass stars and planets.
