Creators: name: ukomadu, Nkechi
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2019

Abstract Background: Heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization in the United States and accounts for more than one million hospitalizations every year. Readmission within 30 days of discharge is an indicator used for measuring the quality of care for heart failure patient. Methods: The goal of this quality improvement project is to reduce the 30-day readmission rate of heart failure patients 60 years and older in a long-term care setting in Texas by using an evidence-based transitional readiness discharge checklist for heart failure. Interventions included staff education on the key components and on the checklist. A pre- and post-test was given to measure staff learning, and the 30-day readmission rate of patients was provided by the longterm care facility electronic health record. Results: The project followed 18 patients with heart failure and other comorbidities admitted between October 2018 and March 2019. None of the 18 patients were readmitted to the hospital within 30 days for heart failure exacerbation, although two were readmitted for other reasons. The patients continued to be treated in long term care, which reduced the readmission rate from a previous high rate of readmission to the hospital from this facility of 45% to 13%. Staff reported an increased knowledge of heart failure on pre and posttests. Ten licensed staff had pre-test mean score was 82.78, with a post-test score increased to 98.57 indicating greater knowledge of heart failure. Conclusion: Education on discharge readiness checklist of heart failure older adult patients and power-point presentation increased the knowledge of the staff as evidenced by the result of pre- and post-test. A reduction in the 30-day readmission rate was seen in the patients involved in the project.

Creators: name: Grothues, Staci M.
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

Background: Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. It is responsible for serious cardiac events that can be fatal. When a patient experiences one cardiac event, they are more likely to have a second event. Therefore, secondary prevention programs such as cardiac rehabilitation (CR) have been proven to reduce mortality in these patients and enhance quality of life; however, they are severely underutilized.  Purpose: The purpose of this integrative review and DNP project was to educate outpatient providers about the immense value of cardiac rehabilitation to eligible patients and develop a toolkit targeted to help providers recognize eligible patients, educate them and expedite enrollment. Methods: An educational intervention was virtually presented with a pre- and post-survey completed by 9 staff members of an outpatient cardiology office. Feedback was collected to determine efficacy of the presentation, change in provider perceptions, and the utility of the toolkit.  Data was input into Excel and SPSS to determine statistical significance and organization of feedback.  Results: By using the Health Belief Model as a framework, the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test determined that there was statistically significant (p=0.026) increase in perceived seriousness, susceptibility, and benefit after the educational intervention indicating that participants’ attitudes and beliefs about the importance of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and can be affected with education, leading to the increased interest in improving referral rates for eligible patients.  Conclusion: This project should serve as a tool to continue to educate outpatient providers of the value of CR, while the toolkit may be utilized to expedite enrollment and help reach national goals of increasing cardiac rehabilitation participation to 70%.

description: The realization of the unusual properties of 2-d materials requires the formation of large domains of single layer thickness, extending over the mesoscale. It is found that the formation of ideal graphene on SiC, contrary to textbook diffraction , is signaled by a strong bell-shaped-component (BSC) around the (00) and G(10), but not the SiC(10) spots.The BSC is also seen for graphene on metals, because single layer uniform graphene with large lateral size can also be grown. It is only seen by electron diffraction and not with X-ray or He-scattering experiments. Most likely it originates from the spatial confinement of the graphene electrons within a single layer. This leads to a large spread in their wavevector, which is transferred through electron-electron interactions to the elastically scattered electrons to generate the BSC.

description: We demonstrate that the temporal peak generated by specific electromagnetic pulses may arrive at different positions simultaneously in an absorbing wave guide. The effect can be used for triggering several devices all at once at unknown distances from the sender or generally to transmit information so that it arrives at the same time to receivers at different, unknown locations. This simultaneity cannot be realized by the standard transmission methods.

description: We consider a massive Dirac neutrino electric charge and magnetic moment within the context of the standard model supplied with SU(2)-singlet right-handed neutrino in arbitrary R_ξgauge. Using the dimensional-regularization scheme we start with calculations of the one-loop contributions to the neutrino electromagnetic vertex function exactly accounting for the neutrino and other particles masses. We examine the decomposition of the massive neutrino electromagnetic vertex function and show that it contains only the four form factors. Then we get the closed integral expressions for different contributions to the neutrino electric charge and magnetic form factors. These calculations enable us to follow the neutrino and corresponding charged lepton masses and gauge-fixing parameters dependence. For several one-loop contributions to the neutrino charge and magnetic moment, that were calculated previously by the other authors with mistakes, we find the correct results. We show that the neutrino charge for massive neutrino is a gauge independent and vanishing value in the first two orders of the expansion over the neutrino mass parameter b. In the particular choice of the 't Hooft-Feynman gauge we also demonstrate that the neutrino charge is zero for arbitrary mass of neutrino. For each of the diagrams contributing to the neutrino magnetic moment, we get expressions accounting for the leading and next-to-leading order in b with the gauge dependence shown explicitly. Each of the contributions are finite and the sum of all contributions turns out to be gauge-independent. Our calculations also enable us to get the magnetic moment of a heavy neutrino.

description: We study the dynamics of a non-magnetic impurity interacting with the surface states of a 3D and 2D topological insulator. Employing the linked cluster technique we develop a formalism for obtaining the Greens function of the mobile impurity interacting with the low-energy Dirac fermions. We show that for the non-recoil case in 2D, similar to the case involving the parabolic spectrum, the Greens function in the long-time limit has a power-law decay in time implying the breakdown of the quasiparticle description of the impurity. The spectral function, in turn, exhibits a weak power-law singularity. In the recoil case, however, the reduced phase-space for scattering processes implies a non-zero quasiparticle weight and the presence of a coherent part in the spectral function. Performing a weak coupling analysis we find that the mobility of the impurity reveals a divergence at low temperatures. In addition, we show that the Greens function of an impurity interacting with the helical edge modes (surface states of 2D TI), exhibit power-law decay in the long-time limit for both the non-recoil and recoil case (with low impurity momentum), indicating the break down of the quasiparticle picture. However, for impurity with high momentum, the quasiparticle picture is restored. Using the Boltzmann approach we show that the presence of the magnetic field results in a power-law divergence of the impurity mobility at low-temperatures.

description: Decisions are made daily concerning many facets of the National School Lunch Program at the federal, state and local levels, but how are decisions made with regard to the actual choice of foods on school lunch menus? No study that we are aware of examines the incentives and barriers among the SFAs decision-making process with regard to the provision of healthier lunch menus. The issue faced by SFAs is a classic moral hazard problem: a SFA’s effort for the provision of healthy menu options is unknown (i.e., hidden actions). SFAs can accept federal funds and agricultural commodities to provide healthy lunches while districts create school wellness policies “requiring” minimum nutritional quality of school-provided foods, but the overall quality of implementation and compliance are not observable. This paper utilizes the Principal-Agent (PA) theory to model this moral hazard problem and unveil the barriers and incentive targets and channels behind the observed inefficient school nutrition policy implementation.

description: Davidson potentials of the form $β^2 +β_0^4/β^2$, when used in the E(5) framework, bridge the U(5) and O(6) symmetries, while they bridge the U(5) and SU(3) symmetries when used in the X(5) framework. Using a variational procedure, we determine for each value of angular momentum $L$ thevalue of $β_0$ at which the rate of change of various physical quantities (energy ratios, intraband B(E2) ratios, quadrupole moment ratios) has a maximum, the collection of the values of the physical quantity formed in this way being a candidate for describing its behavior at the relevant critical point. Energy ratios lead to the E(5) and X(5) results (whice correspond to an infinite well potential in $β$), while intraband B(E2) ratios and quadrupole moments lead to the E(5)-$β^4$ and X(5)-$β^4$ results, which correspond to the use of a $β^4$ potential in the relevant framework. A new derivation of the Holmberg-Lipas formula for nuclear energy spectra is obtained as a by-product.

description: This study aimed to analyze the most important apple vitamin, L-ascorbic acid (AsA), and the most abundant fat-soluble one, α-tocopherol, in the pulp of 24 cultivars from harvest season 2010 and in six cultivars collected over three consecutive years (2008–2010). All cultivars were grown and stored under identical conditions and identified as ‘true to type’ by molecular genetic tools. The two vitamins were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD), involving two rapid methods with excellent recovery, linearity, precision, and sensitivity. Results showed an intriguing diversity of AsA contents and, to a lesser extent, of α-tocopherol in biological replicates, between cultivars and harvest years. Nevertheless, cultivar-specific relative vitamin contents can be deduced from this study. Among the 24 cultivars, a minimum AsA content of 0.43 ± 0.13 mg/100 g fresh weight (FW) and a maximum of 6.22 ± 1.06 mg/100 g FW have been found in ‘Gala’ and ‘Freiherr von Berlepsch,’ respectively. α-tocopherol ranged from 0.13 ± 0.02 mg/100 g FW to 0.33 ± 0.04 mg/100 g FW for ‘Freiherr von Berlepsch’ and ‘Brixner Plattling,’ respectively. The results of the present study suggest a potential of some old cultivars as a component of a healthy, vitamin-rich diet.

Network of Learning for Pediatric Palliative Care: A Pilot Project
Creators: name: Nelson, Margaret R
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2013

In the past ten years, pediatric palliative care has evolved. Notre Dame Pedi Pals is a new venture providing pediatric palliative care for Notre Dame Hospice. Presently in Massachusetts an infant dies daily devastating the family (Massachusetts Department of Public Health, 2013). Collaboration and coordination of care is a common concern for these families who are difficult to identify and study, so that the measure of the effects of this care is challenging. Coordination and assistance with this aspect of care is viewed positively by parents of a similar group of children suffering from major chronic, life-altering diseases (Data Resource Center for Child and Adolescent Health, 2007).
The purpose of the pilot is to study the effects of an electronic medium in facilitating collaboration among Massachusetts Pediatric Palliative Care Program professionals. Through a common, electronic "Network of Learning" platform, this Capstone Pilot promoted a learning venue with these collaborative activities: weekly discussion questions, monthly journal club, and sharing of stories. Invitations were sent to all coordinators involved in the Massachusetts Pediatric Palliative Care Network, all primary care providers, and referral specialists to this secure, free, and electronic platform with a n=6. Present collaborative communication practices using Feudtner's (2007) five points of collaborative communication were measured pre-pilot and post-pilot at Notre Dame Pedi Pals to measure the effects of the pilot participation on collaborative communication. Modified Index of Interdisciplinary Collaboration scores were tabulated pre- and post-pilot to evaluate change from pilot participation. At the conclusion of the pilot, formal evaluation occurred and was inconclusive.

description: Bioactive compounds and physical properties of sea buckthorn purees at production and after storage at 2°C and 18°C for 3 months were investigated. Heat treatment of the berries prior to sieving increased yield of the purees from 80% to 84%, and gave purees with 27-65% higher concentrations of total carotenoids, but did not affect vitamin C and total phenolics (TP). High-pressure homogenization (HPH) reduced the size of the particles in the purees, leading to lighter and more yellow purees. Vitamin C, total carotenoids, and TP were not affected by HPH. Storage explained most of the variation in vitamin C, TP, and chromaticity, i.e. they decreased during storage, especially at the highest storage temperature. To obtain higher yield and products with higher concentrations of bioactive compounds, heat treatment prior to further processing is recommended. HPH can be used to alter the physical properties and color of the product.

description: We study the high-energy small-angle {\it Regge} limit of the fermion-antifermion scattering in gauge theories and consider the part of the amplitude suppressed by a power of the scattering angle. For abelian gauge group all-order resummation of the double-logarithmic radiative corrections to the leading power-suppressed term is performed. We find that when the logarithm of the scattering angle is comparable to the inverse gauge coupling constant the asymptotic double-logarithmic enhancement overcomes the power suppression, a formally subleading term becomes dominant, and the small-angle expansion breaks down. For the nonabelian gauge group we show that in the color-singlet channel for sufficiently small scattering angles the power-suppressed contribution becomes comparable to the one of BFKL pomeron. Possible role of the subleading-power effects for the solution of the unitarity problem of perturbative Regge analysis in QED and QCD is discussed. An intriguing relation between the asymptotic behavior of the power-suppressed amplitudes in Regge and Sudakov limits is discovered.

TOOLKIT FOR DIRECT SUPPORT PROFESIONALS
Creators: name: Kounta, Mariame
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2017

The physical and psychological health factors associated with Developmental Disability (DD) puts affected individuals more at risk for being overweight/obese, less likely to receive medical screenings and preventative health care and more likely to develop chronic health conditions than the general population (Krahn, Walker & Correa-De-Araujo, 2015). As such, adults with DD are found to develop chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and diabetes quicker than their counterparts (Krahn, et al., 2015). Direct support professionals (DSPs), who care for people with DD on a daily basis are expected to manage these illnesses with minimal training. The general requirements for DSPs upon being hired to care for people with DD is usually only based on the possession of a high school diploma, a driver’s license and a clean criminal background check. Therefore, DSPs are not required to be clinicians and to have extensive medical training in order to be able to properly manage illnesses in community settings where nurses and other clinicians do not provide direct care. The purpose of this project is to create a toolkit to help enhance DSPs’ knowledge on six commonly encountered illnesses within group home settings: 1) the common cold, 2) conjunctivitis, 3) aspiration, 4) dehydration, 5) constipation and 6) seizures. The toolkit is comprised of a pre and a posttest (same test) and a PowerPoint slide presentation outlining the sign and symptoms of these six common illnesses/conditions, treatment interventions, and clinicians or health care entities to contact to avoid possible complications. The results from the pre and posttests is computed and analyzed to determine how much DSPs learned from the presentation of the toolkit.

Explicit calculation shows that factorization holds for NLO contribution to this amplitude, although the structure of the factorized amplitude at the NLO is more complicated than in the leading-order formula. Next-to-leading order coefficient functions for matrix elements of twist-3 vector and axial-vector quark string operators and their LO evolution equations are presented.

description: We describe experimental investigations on an optical frequency standard based on a laser cooled 171Yb+ ion confined in a radiofrequency Paul trap. The electric-quadrupole transition from the 2S1/2(F=0) ground state to the 2D3/2(F=2) state at the wavelength of 436 nm is used as the reference transition. The reference transition is probed by a frequency-doubled, frequency-stabilized diode laser and is resolved with a Fourier-limited full halfwidth of approximately 30 Hz. In order to compare two 171Yb+ standards, separate frequency shift and servo systems are employed to stabilise the probe frequency to the reference transition line centers of two independently stored 171Yb+ ions. The present experimental results indicate a relative instability (Allan standard deviation)of the optical frequency difference between the two systems of sigma_y(1000 s)=1.0E-15 and a mean frequency difference of 0.2 Hz. Shifts in the range of several Hertz are observed in the frequency difference if a stationary electric field gradient is superimposed on the radiofrequency trap field. This measurement permits a first experimental estimate of the electric quadrupole moment of the 2D3/2 state of Yb+.

description: Under the National Drought Policy launched in 1992, drought was to be regarded as a normal feature of the operating environment for Australian farmers with an increased emphasis on improved drought preparation and self-reliance. Assistance provisions in the case of 'exceptional' droughts were to remain in place however. Several commentators have questioned the need to single out drought risk for govcmment intervention on the grounds of resource misallocation and that this approach is inconsistent with the 'total' risk management approach now widely advocated by advisers. In this paper, the results of a whole-farm stochastic budgeting analysis on a NSW and WA fam1ing system are reported. The objective is to provide perspective on drought as one of several causes of poor financial performance. Results indicate that while drought events lasting several production cycles are a significant contributor to poor performance, they are not exclusively so. Combinations of other factor can be equally significant, lending support to the notion of a whole-farm approach to risk management. Perhaps it is time to review the basis for the application of exceptional circumstances in fanning. A case can be mounted for support in business threatening' situations, but it should be approached from a whole-farm perspective with limits on access to support.

description: Phase separation has been observed by several different experiments and it is believed to be closely related with the physics of cuprates but its exactly role is not yet well known. We propose that the onset of pseudogap phenomenon or the upper pseudogap temperature $T^*$ has its origin in a spontaneous phase separation transition at the temperature $T_{ps}=T^*$. In order to perform quantitative calculations, we use a Cahn-Hilliard (CH) differential equation originally proposed to the studies of alloys and on a spinodal decomposition mechanism. Solving numerically the CH equation it is possible to follow the time evolution of a coarse-grained order parameter which satisfies a Ginzburg-Landau free-energy functional commonly used to model superconductors. In this approach, we follow the process of charge segregation into two main equilibrium hole density branches and the energy gap normally attributed to the upper pseudogap arises as the free-energy potential barrier between these two equilibrium densities below $T_{ps}$. This simulation provides quantitative results %on the hole doping and temperature %dependence of the degree of the charge inhomogeneity in agreement with %some experiments and the simulations reproduce the observed stripe and granular pattern of segregation. Furthermore, with a Bogoliubov-deGennes (BdG) local superconducting critical temperature calculation for the lower pseudogap or the onset of local superconductivity, it yields novel interpretation of several non-conventional measurements on cuprates.

description: We examine the effect of proximity to large grocery stores and convenience stores on consumption of different food groups among a sample of children enrolled in Head Start preschools. Food store proximity is measured in two ways: (1) as the distance from the census block of residence to the nearest store of a given type and (2) as the density of stores within a one-mile radius of the census block. We estimate the probability that a child is at risk for over or under consumption of a given food item. Food-store proximity is instrumented using the proportion of commercially zoned land surrounding the residence. Findings suggest that children in households with greater access to large grocery stores are at less risk for under consumption of healthy foods but are also at greater risk for over consumption of sugary beverages.

description: Fluid in interstitial spaces accounts for ~20% of an adult body weight. Does it circulate around the body like vascular circulations besides a diffusive and short-ranged transport? This bold conjecture has been debated for decades. As a conventional physiological concept, interstitial space was the space between cells and a micron-sized space. Fluid in interstitial spaces is thought to be entrapped within interstitial matrix. However, our serial data have further defined an interfacial transport zone on a solid fiber of interstitial matrix. Within this fine space that is probably nanosized, fluid can transport along a fiber under a driving power. Since 2006, our imaging data from volunteers and cadavers have revealed a long-distance extravascular pathway for interstitial fluid flow, comprising four types of anatomic distributions at least. The framework of each extravascular pathway contains the longitudinally assembled and oriented fibers, working as a fibrous guiderail for fluid flow. Interestingly, our data showed that the movement of fluid in a fibrous pathway is in response to a dynamic driving source and named as dynamotaxis. By analysis of some representative studies and our experimental results, a hypothesis of interstitial fluid circulatory system is proposed.

description: A model based on SUSY SO(10) combined with SU(2) family symmetry is constructed. In contrast with the commonly used effective operator approach, 126-dimensional Higgs fields are utilized to construct the Yukawa sector. R-parity symmetry is thus preserved at low energies. The symmetric mass textures arising from the left-right symmetry breaking chain of SO(10) give rise to very good predictions for quark and lepton masses and mixings. The prediction for sin(2beta) agrees with the average of current bounds from BaBar and Belle. In the neutrino sector, our predictions are in good agreement with results from atmospheric neutrino experiments. Our model accommodates the LMA solution to the solar neutrino anomaly. The prediction of our model for the |U(e nu_3)| element in the MNS matrix is close to the sensitivity of current experiments; thus the validity of our model can be tested in the near future. We also investigate the correlation between the |U(e nu_3)| element and tan^{2}(theta_odot) in a general two-zero neutrino mass texture.

description: In this paper, an exact solution of Kerr black hole surrounded by a cloud of strings in Rastall gravity is obtained by Newman-Janis algorithm without complexification, and the influence of the string parameter $a_0$ on the black hole thermodynamics is studied. Furthermore, according to this black hole solution, we investigate the effect of a cloud of strings on gravitational deflection of massive particles. For a receiver and a source at infinite distance from the lens object, we use an osculating Riemannian manifold method. While the distance is finite, we apply the generalized Jacobi metric method. For the case between the two situations, the Jacobi-Maupertuis Randers-Finsler metric and Gauss-Bonnet theorem are employed. We find that the string parameter $a_0$ has obviously modification on the gravitational deflection of massive particles. Our result is reduced to the deflection angle of light by Kerr black hole surrounded by a cloud of strings in general relativity.
