description: A systematic description of the interaction between two systems is presented within the framework of thermodynamics of discrete systems. We distinguish between two situations: a contact between an equilibrium system and a non-equilibrium one, and a contact between two non-equilibrium systems. In the second case the state space includes replacement quantities, which reduce the situation to a contact between an equilibrium system and a non-equilibrium one. Interacting discrete systems form a composite (compound) system which is also a discrete one. Thus a compound system can be described as if it were composed of two subsystems, or by ignoring this fact, as a plain single discrete system, whose composition of sub-systems is not taken into consideration. These descriptions cause different degrees of accuracy which are expressed by excess quantities. Such an excess quantity vanishes if the discrete system is really not composed of subsystems. Aim of this paper is to calculate the excess quantities of power and energy exchange and to derive the excess entropy in the special case of an endoreversible compound system.
How Continuous Immunizations Affect B-Cell Immune Response to Influenza through Cross-Reactive Antibody Expression In Normal-Weight, Overweight, and Obese Individuals.
Creators: name: Dunlevy, Christopher
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Introduction: The number of obese individuals has been steadily rising for the last few decades and has reached epidemic proportions. This means that health complications from obesity and being overweight have also increased for all age groups, but specifically for adults who are ages 60 and over. One complication of obesity is the increased risk of mortality from the influenza infection, a deadly illness caused by the influenza virus.
Goal: The goal of this study was to determine whether repeat vaccinations increases immunoglobulin antibody response in normal, overweight, and obese adults. It was also to determine whether or not race and age differences have an effect on antibody levels for each weight category.
Methods: To accomplish this, serum was collected from subjects both pre and post inoculation with that year’s vaccine and an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine antibody levels.
Results: Total antibody response showed no significance in any immunoglobulin antibody categories based on weight status alone, but IgG1 and IgG total were significant based on the relationship between time and weight status. African Americans showed higher responses for IgG1 in healthy and obese individuals and showed significantly higher responses in IgG2 overweight individuals compared to Caucasians. Adults ages 30 to 60 showed higher responses in IgG1 for healthy and obese categories compared to adults ages 60 to 90 as well. Obese subjects of all races and ages showed decreased antibody response over time.
Discussion: It was determined that continuous immunization could improve antibody responses for the IgG1 and IgG total categories but may not improve other immunoglobulins. We also found that obese people have a diminished antibody response independent of race and that repeat vaccinations help obese people less over time than healthy people and that younger and people have a better immune response at all time periods.

description: The results of speckle interferometric observations at the SOAR telescope in 2014 are given. A total of 1641 observations were taken, yielding 1636 measurements of 1218 resolved binary and multiple stars and 577 non-resolutions of 441 targets. We resolved for the first time 56 pairs, including some nearby astrometric or spectroscopic binaries and ten new subsystems in previously known visual binaries. The calibration of the data is checked by linear fits to the positions of 41 wide binaries observed at SOAR over several seasons. The typical calibration accuracy is 0.1deg in angle and 0.3% in pixel scale, while the measurement errors are on the order of 3mas. The new data are used here to compute 194 binary-star orbits, 148 of which are improvements on previous orbital solutions and 46 are first-time orbits.

Where Do the Roads Go? Evaluating the Impact of Corruption on Infrastructure Allocation in China
Creators: name: Su, Joycelyn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Where do government officials allocate infrastructure resources when there are margins
for personal discretion? In a panel of 276 Chinese cities with observations from 1993 to 2009, I
examine the relationship between the birthplaces of government officials and the area of paved
roads built in each respective city. I find that on average, the area of paved roads in cities that are
also the birthplaces of high-level officials increases as the number of high-level officials and the
number of years during which they stay in office increase. This phenomenon is especially
significant after China decentralized its fiscal process in 2004 and it provides support for the
proposed theoretical framework where local officials build roads in high-level officials’
hometowns in hopes of receiving promotion. This study contributes to the few works in the
economics literature that examines distributive politics in an autocratic state.
Order-disorder transition in the two dimensional interacting monomer-dimer model: Ising criticality
Creators: name: Park, Su-Chan

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We study the order-disorder transition of the two dimensional interacting monomer-dimer model (IMD) which has two symmetric absorbing states. To be self-contained, we first estimate numerically the dynamic exponent $z$ of the two dimensional Ising model. From the relaxation dynamics of the magnetization at the critical point, we obtain $β/(νz) = 0.057~650(12)$, or $z = 2.168 26(45)$, where $β= \frac{1}{8}$ and $ν=1$ are exactly known exponents. We, then, compare the critical relaxation of the order parameter at the transition point of the IMD with that of the Ising model. We found that the critical relaxation exponent $β/(νz)$ is in good agreement with the Ising model, unlike the recent claim by Nam et al [JSTAT {\bf (2014)}, P08011]. We also claim that the Binder cumulant is not an efficient quantity to locate the order-disorder transition point of the model with two symmetric absorbing states.

Review of 1965 Price Developments in the Foreign Agricultural Trade of the United States

description: Excerpts from the Report: Prices and their changes constitute a salient feature of an exchange economy. International commodity prices and their changes have long been a crucial element of trade analysis and projection, in both the private and the public sectors of the economy. Present concern about the U.S. balance of payments problem and the contribution agricultural trade makes to alleviate the problem have stimulated interest in price changes as they shape the terms of trade. As commonly measured, the terms of trade are the ratio of an export price index and an analogous import price index. A number of price indexes are in wide use. Some are made up exclusively or predominantly of agricultural commodity prices and can thus be considered agricultural price indexes. In this study, price developments during the past 2 years, as reflected in several widely used index numbers, are compared with specially constructed price index numbers computed from the 20 or 21 commodities or commodity groups making up a significant share (about two-thirds) of the foreign agricultural trade of the United States. The specially constructed U.S agricultural export price indexes summarize price developments which differ radically from all others.

description: Semi-metals are characterized by nodal band structures that give rise to exotic electronic properties. The stability of Dirac semi-metals, such as graphene in two spatial dimensions (2D), requires the presence of lattice symmetries, while akin to the surface states of topological band insulators, Weyl semi-metals in three spatial dimensions (3D) are protected by band topology. Here we show that in the bulk of topological band insulators, self-organized topologically protected semi-metals can emerge along a grain boundary, a ubiquitous extended lattice defect in any crystalline material. In addition to experimentally accessible electronic transport measurements, these states exhibit valley anomaly in 2D influencing edge spin transport, whereas in 3D they appear as graphene-like states that may exhibit an odd-integer quantum Hall effect. The general mechanism underlying these novel semi-metals -- the hybridization of spinon modes bound to the grain boundary -- suggests that topological semi-metals can emerge in any topological material where lattice dislocations bind localized topological modes.

The Reconstruction of Womanhood by Black and LGBT Authors
Creators: name: Grant, Sarah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: The current dominant perception of womanhood in the United States has proven to be insufficient for further use due to its exclusion of Black women and LGBT women. In Early America, principles for womanhood emerged in a very exclusive manner because they were crafted to define the lives of heterosexual cisgender Caucasian women of European descent. As a result, womanhood was conceptualized to be a uniform manifestation and women who displayed seemingly contrasting characteristics were excluded from the social category of woman. Black and LGBT women have been impacted the most by this exclusion so, in response, many reconstructed the traditional confines on womanhood through literature. But, despite their efforts, the dominant perception for womanhood remained the one conceptualized by the Early Americans. Therefore, this thesis argues for a social shift away from the traditional confines on womanhood and towards the more comprehensive reconstructions done by Black and LGBT women.

We employ models for dust in the local Universe to contrain the dust-to-gas ratio during the epoch of reionization at redshifts z ~ 6-10. The observed level of reddening of high redshift galaxies implies that the IGM was enriched to an intergalactic dust-to-gas ratio of less than 3% of the Milky Way value by a redshift of z=10.

description: We present a comprehensive study of the destruction of quantum multifractality in the presence of perturbations. We study diverse representative models displaying multifractality, including a pseudointegrable system, the Anderson model and a random matrix model. We apply several types of natural perturbations which can be relevant for experimental implementations. We construct an analytical theory for certain cases, and perform extensive large-scale numerical simulations in other cases. The data are analyzed through refined methods including double scaling analysis. Our results confirm the recent conjecture that multifractality breaks down following two scenarios. In the first one, multifractality is preserved unchanged below a certain characteristic length which decreases with perturbation strength. In the second one, multifractality is affected at all scales and disappears uniformly for a strong enough perturbation. Our refined analysis shows that subtle variants of these scenarios can be present in certain cases. This study could guide experimental implementations in order to observe quantum multifractality in real systems.

 Range: —Endemic to Bolivia (CO, LP).
 Ecology: —Fairly common; epiphytic and less commonly terrestrial in humid forests; (500) 1200–2000 m.
 Notes: —This shares the glabrous sporangia, free veins, glabrous to sparsely short-hairy lower blade surfaces, and the mixture of sparse, acicular hairs ca. 0.5 mm long and shorter, ctenitoid hairs on the rachises with P. divaricata and P. eurybasis var. glabrescens , but the blades are fully pinnate throughout, or nearly so. These two closely allied species may be fully pinnate at the blade bases, but not throughout most of the lamina, the basiscopic pinna margins are decurrent on the rachises, and the bases of adjacent pinnae are approximate or confluent. The remote, broad, apically often rounded pinnae of P. perpinnata provide it with a distinctive habit reminiscent of species of Nephrolepis.

In and out of the nucleus - CNN based segmentation of cell nuclei from images of a translocating sensor

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: In this thesis, we demonstrate applications of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for the analysis of a unique image analysis problem in fluorescence microscopy. The U-Net CNN architecture was employed to train a model to segment nuclear regions in images of a translocating biosensor—which alternates between the nucleus and cytoplasm—without the need for a constant nuclear marker. The model provided high-quality segmentation results that allowed us to accurately quantify the extent of cyclin-dependent kinase activity in a population of cells. In the future, it is envisioned that the development of these kind of analysis tools will enable biologists to design live-cell fluorescence imaging experiments without the need for providing a constant marker for a subcellular region of interest. As a consequence, they will be free to increase the number of biosensors measured in single cells or reduce the phototoxicity of cellular imaging.

description: A weighted difference of the $g$-factors of the H- and Li-like ions of the same element is theoretically studied and optimized in order to maximize the cancelation of nuclear effects between the two charge states. We show that this weighted difference and its combination for two different elements can be used to extract a value for the fine-structure constant from near-future bound-electron $g$-factor experiments with an accuracy competitive with or better than the present literature value.
title: Improving Outcome After Cardiac Arrest: New Pharmacological And Electrophysiological Approaches During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
Creators: name: Ruggeri, Laura
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: Cardiac arrest (CA) represents a leading cause of death in the western world. CA is a dramatic clinical event that can occur suddenly and often without premonitory signs. This condition is characterized by sudden loss of consciousness caused by the lack of cerebral blood flow, which occurs when the heart ceases to pump. Chest compressions (CCs) and early defibrillation (DF) are the cornerstones of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in CA, while the only definitive treatment for ventricular fibrillation (VF) remains prompt DF. The present thesis includes both experimental and clinical studies directed to evaluate new pharmacological and electrophysiological approaches that have a potential benefit in the outcome of patients affected from CA. In order to achieve such aims, we performed two separate studies concurrently. The first study was directed to investigate experimentally the role of β1-blockade during CPR, while the second series of study evaluated prospectively the feasibility of a real time VF waveform analysis, in particular Amplitude Spectrum Area (AMSA), to guide interventions during resuscitation and to potentially diagnose underlying cardiac ischemia. Both the studies therefore concurred to the same goal of identify new tools to improve the outcome of CA and are presented together in this thesis as a single study with an introduction, methods, results, and discussion section. Nevertheless, in order to help the readers going throughout the work, each section is divided into sub-sections presenting separately the studies.
THE IMPACT OF THE BASEL III CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS ON THE PROFITABILITY AND LENDING BEHAVIORS OF GLOBAL SYSTEMICALLY IMPORTANT BANKS
Creators: name: Gibbons, Clare
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: The global financial crisis prompted a period of widespread regulatory changes geared towards creating a safer financial system. The Basel III regulation emerged post-crisis and adjusted the minimum capital requirements for banks, attempting to ensure that they would be better equipped to absorb losses in the case of the next potential crisis. Advocates of this regulation believe that our financial system is far safer when these higher capital requirements are in place, and some advocates believe these requirements should be even higher. On the other hand, critics of this regulation argue that as a result of these requirements, banks profit less and their lending behaviors are impacted negatively. The research question of this thesis was formed as a response to these critics and asks: What effect do the Basel III capital requirements have on bank profitability and lending behavior. This thesis uses a regression analysis to determine whether these capital requirements have had an impact on the profitability and lending behaviors of global systemically important banks.

description: We present a study of photometric redshift accuracy in the 3D-HST photometric catalogs, using 3D-HST grism redshifts to quantify and dissect trends in redshift accuracy for galaxies brighter than $H_{F140W}<24$ with an unprecedented and representative high-redshift galaxy sample. We find an average scatter of $0.0197\pm0.0003(1+z)$ in the Skelton et al. (2014) photometric redshifts. Photometric redshift accuracy decreases with magnitude and redshift, but does not vary monotonically with color or stellar mass. The 1-$σ$ scatter lies between $0.01-0.03$(1+z) for galaxies of all masses and colors below $z<2.5$ (for $H_{F140W}{ 2$), dusty star-forming galaxies for which the scatter increases to $\sim0.1(1+z)$. Although the overall photometric redshift accuracy for quiescent galaxies is better than for star-forming galaxies, scatter depends more strongly on magnitude and redshift than on galaxy type. We verify these trends using the redshift distributions of close pairs and extend the analysis to fainter objects, where photometric redshift errors further increase to $\sim0.046(1+z)$ at $H_{F160W}=26$. We demonstrate that photometric redshift accuracy is strongly filter-dependent and quantify the contribution of multiple filter combinations. We evaluate the widths of redshift probability distribution functions and find that error estimates are underestimated by a factor of $\sim1.1-1.6$, but that uniformly broadening the distribution does not adequately account for fitting outliers. Finally, we suggest possible applications of these data in planning for current and future surveys and simulate photometric redshift performance in the LSST, DES, and combined DES and VHS surveys.

A first-principles study of van der Waals interactions and lattice mismatch at MoS2/metal interfaces

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We explore the adsorption of MoS2 on a range of metal substrates by means of first-principles density functional theory calculations. Including van der Waals forces in the density functional is essential to capture the interaction between MoS2 and a metal surface, and obtain reliable interface potential steps and Schottky barriers. Special care is taken to construct interface structures that have a mismatch between the MoS2 and the metal lattices of <1%. MoS2 is chemisorbed on the early transition metal Ti, which leads to a strong perturbation of its (electronic) structure and a pinning of the Fermi level 0.54 eV below the MoS2 conduction band due to interface states. MoS2 is physisorbed on Au, where the bonding hardly perturbs the electronic structure. The bonding of MoS2 on other metals lies between these two extreme cases, with interface interactions for the late 3d transition metals Co, Ni, Cu and the simple metal Mg that are somewhat stronger than for the late 4d/5d transition metals Pd, Ag, Pt and the simple metal Al. Even a weak interaction, such as in the case of Al, gives interface states, however, with energies inside the MoS2 band gap, which pin the Fermi level below the conduction band.
Influence of Beta Blockers on the Hemodynamic Response to Inotropes in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Creators: name: Jagielski, Sarah

description: Background: Previous studies have demonstrated altered hemodynamic response to intravenous inotrope in chronic, stable heart failure patients receiving beta blocker (BB). The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of BB on hemodynamic response to intravenous inotrope in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).Methods: This prospective, single‐center, observational study assessed patients with ADHF deemed to require intravenous inotrope with pulmonary artery catheter‐based hemodynamic monitoring. Per institutional practice, patients received stepwise dosing of dobutamine (DOB) 1 to 6 mcg/kg/min followed by milrinone (MIL) 0.1 to 0.4 mcg/kg/min for dose‐finding of optimal single inotropic therapy. Patients were stratified by concomitant administration of BB carvedilol (CAR) or metoprolol succinate (MET) as prescribed prior to admission or no BB. Hemodynamic parameters were measured at baseline and at each inotrope dose titration. The primary endpoint was change in Fick cardiac index (CI) from baseline to maximum, tolerated inotrope dose. Data is presented as median with interquartile range (IQR).Results: Of the fifty patients enrolled, 78% received BB at baseline, with median doses of CAR 12.5 mg/d (n=21) and MET 50 mg/d (n=18). Forty‐nine patients received DOB and 44 received MIL; 43 received both DOB and MIL, but not concurrently. Baseline characteristics were similar among BB groups including left ventricular ejection fraction 18% (13‐23) and baseline Fick CI 1.8 L/min/m2 (1.5‐2.2). On MIL, Fick CI differed significantly between BB groups (p=0.049). Fick CI significantly increased in the no BB group (+0.73, 0.35‐1.46), but did not significantly increase in the MET (+0.31, 0.23‐1.10) or CAR (+0.31, ‐0.24‐0.86) groups. Similar changes occurred with SVO2 (p=0.025) with significant increase with the no BB group (+16, 7‐24) but not the MET (+12, ‐1‐18) and CAR (+7, ‐7‐11) groups. In contrast, with DOB administration change in Fick CI and SVO2 did not differ among BB groups. Changes in all other parameters were similar with both MIL and DOB administration regardless of BB therapy.Conclusions: Both MET and CAR reduced hemodynamic response to MIL, but not DOB. Further investigation is needed to confirm if BB should be withheld during concomitant inotrope therapy.

description: This study focused on the rhetorical appeals and strategic presentation decisions that shape political campaign communications and how these appeals interact to form a “political outsider” identity. Through a thematic analysis of candidate announcement videos, the content and motives of its design were evaluated to identify the recurring patterns and themes in how candidates present themselves and how those trends reflect what it means to be an outsider in 2018. Overall, the findings illustrate how candidates have tailored the term “political outsider” to align with their individual narratives, selectively emphasizing biographical and image traits that diverge from voters’ expectations of establishment politicians. Moreover, the study demonstrates how technology has served as democratizing element of political communications — allowing ordinary citizens to launch a bid for office.

Human Reference Atlas

description: Human Reference Atlas (HRA) construction and usage requires organizational structures and operating procedures to author, review, approve, and publish diverse digital objects (e.g., ASCT+B Tables, 3D Reference Objects, 2D FTU Reference Objects). The development of these HRA organizational structures and procedures is led by a panel of interdisciplinary experts, called the HRA editorial board1. This Standard Operating Procedure describes how the HRA editorial board functions, including how members are selected, how they ensure data included in the Atlas is of high quality, and what their responsibilities are in terms of guiding the future direction of the HRA. The primary audience for this SOP is those interested in how the HRA is managed and those considering joining the board. This SOP is general in nature and aims to give an overview of how the editorial board functions.

description: Two-nucleon axial charge and current operators are derived in chiral effective field theory up to one loop. The derivation is based on time-ordered perturbation theory, and accounts for cancellations between the contributions of irreducible diagrams and the contributions due to non-static corrections from energy denominators of reducible diagrams. Ultraviolet divergencies associated with the loop corrections are isolated in dimensional regularization. The resulting axial current is finite and conserved in the chiral limit, while the axial charge requires renormalization. A complete set of contact terms for the axial charge up to the relevant order in the power counting is constructed.

Dielectric Properties as a Function of Conductive Particle Size Measured for Mixtures of Conductive and Silica Particles Wetted with Na2SO4
Creators: name: Larson, Trevyn
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: 4 electrode impedance spectroscopy measurements are applied to a system of conducting coke breeze particles in a nonconducting silica sphere background wetted with Na2SO4 solution. Based on a method used in geological field work, it is known that this type of system exhibits a peak in the phase response as a function of frequency. We vary the size of the conducting particles, the concentration of the electrolytic solution and the volume fraction of conducting particles to verify theoretical predictions about the behavior of this system. The frequency of the phase peak is confirmed to vary roughly as the inverse of the square of the conducting particle radius for particles with radii between 95 and 166 microns, and linear relations are found for the frequency of the phase peak and the electrolytic concentration and the amplitude of the phase peak and conducting particle
volume fraction. Conductivity and dielectric measurements are also explored.
Running Women: Gender and Strategic Communications in 2018 North Carolina Congressional Races
Creators: name: Lowe, Brinley
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: The literature investigating how political campaigns strategize and frame messages in relation to gender is abundant and growing. As more women are elected to Congress and state houses across the country, the way that gender is portrayed in campaign content has never been more relevant. Using media from six 2018 North Carolina congressional campaigns, I performed a qualitative content analysis and a quantitative content analysis on 197 video advertisements, Facebook posts, Instagram posts and tweets. Confirming existing literature on attack advertisements, I find that male candidates are more likely to be attacked by their opponents than female candidates and that non-candidate men are more likely to be used as narrators in video advertisements overall but non-candidate women are more likely to be narrators in attack advertisements. My findings also support research indicating that female candidates are advised to dress more professionally than male candidates, as well as literature suggesting that women candidates are likely to capitalize on positive associations with change, empathy and honesty. Contradicting prior research, I find little to no relationship in the frequency with which male and female candidates are portrayed as parents and spouses by their campaigns. Lastly, my results suggest that campaigns running female candidates are more likely to publish content in which a majority of people of pictured are women and that campaigns with male candidates are more likely to publish content in which a majority of people pictured are men. Overall, I conclude that candidate gender is only one factor that interacts with many other variables.

description: Next generation gravitational wave detectors will start taking data in the near future. Here we discuss the chances to detect the continuous emission from r-mode oscillations in compact stars and study which properties of compact stars we can infer from such novel data. In particular we show that the combination of the gravitational wave data with electromagnetic multi-messenger observations could give us detailed insight into compact star properties, ranging from precise mass-radius measurements to the determination of the equation of state and the phase structure of dense matter.

description: We obtain bounds on the stability of various self-gravitating astrophysical objects using a new measure of shape complexity known as configurational entropy. We apply the method to Newtonian polytropes, neutron stars with an Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation of state, and to self-gravitating configurations of complex scalar field (boson stars) with different self-couplings, showing that the critical stability region of these stellar configurations obtained from traditional perturbation methods correlates well with critical points of the configurational entropy with accuracy of a few percent or better.

Critique on the Use of Language Regarding Transgender Health in U.S. Women’s Health Publications since the Advent of Healthy People 2020
Creators: name: Briggs, Emily
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: The LGBTQ community has long been underrepresented in published research, with research pertaining to transgender populations particularly scarce. I chose to examine the language used in obstetric and gynecologic care, which has the potential for neglecting to acknowledge the identities of transgender individuals and their need for care, contributing to the health disparities faced by this population. The purpose of this critique is to determine how women’s health publications discuss transgender health, and the extent to which transgender health topics were covered since 2010, the start of Healthy People 2020. My literature search in CINAHL revealed thirty-one articles published in the Journal of Midwifery and Women’s Health, the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing, the American Journal of Maternal-Child Nursing, the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the Journal of Women’s Health between January 2010 and December 2017. Two journals, Birth: Issues in Perinatal Care and the Journal of Perinatal and Neonatal Nursing, yielded no related search results. Of the thirty-one articles identified, twenty-three addressed transgender individuals beyond their inclusion within the LGBTQ acronym. The language analyzed regarding transgender health within women’s health disciplines was uniformly inadequate, using inappropriate pronouns and gendered language, outdated terminology and definitions, and inappropriate and pejorative terminology.  This critique on language revealed the limited resources available for women’s health professionals to obtain current information that uses accurate, appropriate, accessible language that does not alienate or exclude transgender patients from the conversation.

Postsecondary Aspirations of Rural and Non-Rural Students: Is there a difference?
Creators: name: Johnson, Alecia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: College enrollment for 18-24 year olds is generally lower in rural areas than it is in non-rural areas. If rural high school students pursue postsecondary education, it is likely that they had access to fewer higher level courses while in high school than their non-rural peers. First-generation undergraduate students at the University of the Southeast participated in a voluntary survey and in-person interview with the researcher about their high school and college experiences. Results show that participants reported experiences similar to prior research findings, but there were also some unexpected findings that have important implications for further research and practice. Interviewed students mentioned specific high school teachers that supported and influenced their decision to attend college. This information should be shared with pre-service high school teachers to show them the impact they can have on their students’ lives.
