INVESTIGATING GENETIC CONFOUNDING OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COLLEGE DEGREE ATTAINMENT AND HEALTH
Creators: name: Lilly, Adam Gregory
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: Until recently, it was difficult for researchers interested in the relationship between college degree attainment and health to directly test for genetic confounding. This study investigates that question using three separate health outcomes (depression, body mass index (BMI), and self-rated health). To test for genetic confounding, I use a structural equation modeling approach with polygenic scores (PGSs) to compare the effect of a college degree on health across various model specifications. I also conduct analyses using propensity scores to investigate whether PGSs continue to be useful controls over and above a long list of common covariates available in large social science datasets. Results provide evidence for genetic confounding of the relationship between college degree attainment and health when examining BMI and self-rated health, and weaker evidence when examining depression. Propensity scores estimated using widely available covariates seem to account for the entire genetic effect captured by the PGSs.

description: The credibility of an eclipse timing variation (ETV) diagram analysis is investigated for various manifestations of the mass transfer and gravitational radiation processes in binary systems. The monotonicity of the period variations and the morphology of the respective ETV diagrams are thoroughly explored in both the direct impact and the accretion disk mode of mass transfer, accompanied by different types of mass and angular momentum losses (through a hot-spot emission from the gainer and via the L2/L3 points). Mass transfer rates comparable to or greater than 10^{-8} M_sun/yr are measurable for typical noise levels of the ETV diagrams, regardless of whether the process is conservative. However, the presence of a transient disk around the more massive component defines a critical mass ratio q_cr ~ 0.83 above which the period turns out to decrease when still in the conservative regime, rendering the measurability of the anticipated variations a much more complicated task. The effects of gravitational radiation proved to be rather undetectable, except for systems with physical characteristics that only refer to cataclysmic variables. Unlike the hot-spot effects, the Lagrangian points L2 and L3 support very efficient routes of strong angular momentum loss. It is further shown that escape of mass via the L3 point - when the donor is the less massive component - safely provides critical mass ratios above which the period is expected to decrease, no matter how intense the process is.

description: We study the statistics of domain wall excitations in quantum spin chains. We focus on systems with finite symmetry groups represented by matrix product unitaries (MPUs), i.e. finite depth quantum circuits. Such symmetries can be anomalous, in which case gapped phases which they support must break the symmetry. The lowest lying excitations of those systems are thus domain wall excitations. We investigate the behavior of these domain walls under exchange, and find that they can exhibit non-trivial exchange statistics. This statistics is completely determined by the anomaly of the symmetry, and we provide a direct relation between the known classification of MPU symmetry actions on ground states and the domain wall statistics. Already for the simplest case of a $\mathbb Z_2$ symmetry, we obtain that the presence of an anomalous MPU symmetry gives rise to domain wall excitations which behave neither as bosons nor as fermions, but rather exhibit fractional statistics. Finally, we show that the exchange statistics of domain walls is a physically accessible quantity, by devising explicit measurement operators through which it can be determined.

description: Homing preset and adaptive experiments with Finite State Machines (FSMs) are widely used when a non-initialized discrete event system is given for testing and thus, has to be set to the known state at the first step. The length of a shortest homing sequence is known to be exponential with respect to the number of states for a complete observable nondeterministic FSM while the problem of checking the existence of such sequence (Homing problem) is PSPACE-complete. In order to decrease the complexity of related problems, one can consider adaptive experiments when a next input to be applied to a system under experiment depends on the output responses to the previous inputs. In this paper, we study the problem of the existence of an adaptive homing experiment for complete observable nondeterministic machines. We show that if such experiment exists then it can be constructed with the use of a polynomial-time algorithm with respect to the number of FSM states.

How effective were Transitional Justice measures in Post-Authoritarian Iberia?
Creators: name: Kerr, Breanna
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The October 2019 exhumation of the mortal remains of the former Spanish dictator Francisco Franco had political repercussions that are still being felt across the Iberian Peninsula today. One of the main conflicts that this exhumation raised was the tension between remembering the authoritarian past and burying it for the sake of consensual politics. This thesis takes the Valley of the Fallen case and applies several theories of democratization in order to report findings on the state of Iberian democracy as a whole. My research then looks to Portugal to contrast the modes of transition to democracy and resulting transitional justice practices, which I argue led to a quicker and stronger consolidation of democracy in Portugal than in Spain. The varying democratization practices and the resurgence of an authoritarian past in both countries has a great impact on the state of play on the Iberian Peninsula and in Europe as a whole.

description: We show that doubling at some large scale in a Cayley graph implies uniform doubling at all subsequent scales. The proof is based on the structure theorem for approximate subgroups proved by Green, Tao and the first author. We also give a number of applications to the geometry and spectrum of finite Cayley graphs. For example, we show that a finite group has moderate growth in the sense of Diaconis and Saloff-Coste if and only if its diameter is larger than a fixed power of the cardinality of the group. We call such groups almost flat and show that they have a subgroup of bounded index admitting a cyclic quotient of comparable diameter. We also give bounds on the Cheeger constant, first eigenvalue of the Laplacian, and mixing time. This can be seen as a finite-group version of Gromov's theorem on groups with polynomial growth. It also improves on a result of Lackenby regarding property (tau) in towers of coverings. Another consequence is a universal upper bound on the diameter of all finite simple groups, independent of the CFSG.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) crystals, such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), present a collection of unique and complementary optoelectronic properties. Assembling different 2D materials in vertical heterostructures enables the combination of these properties in one device, thus creating multi-functional optoelectronic systems with superior performance. Here we demonstrate that graphene/WSe2/graphene heterostructures ally the high photodetection efficiency of TMDs with a picosecond photoresponse comparable to that of graphene, thereby optimizing both speed and efficiency in a single photodetector. We follow in time the extraction of photoexcited carriers in these devices using time-resolved photocurrent measurements and demonstrate a photoresponse time as short as 5.5 ps, which we tune by applying a bias and by varying the TMD layer thickness. Our study provides direct insight into the physical processes governing the detection speed and quantum efficiency of these van der Waals (vdW) heterostuctures, such as out-of-plane carrier drift and recombination. The observation and understanding of ultrafast and efficient photodetection demonstrate the potential of hybrid TMD-based heterostructures as a platform for future optoelectronic devices.
Global Regularity and Long-time Behavior of the Solutions to the 2D Boussinesq Equations without Diffusivity in a Bounded Domain

description: New results are obtained for global regularity and long-time behavior of the solutions to the 2D Boussinesq equations for the flow of an incompressible fluid with positive viscosity and zero diffusivity in a smooth bounded domain. Our first result for global boundedness of the solution $(u, θ) \in D(A)\times H^1$ improves considerably the main result of the recent article [7]. Our second result on global regularity of the solution $(u, θ) \in V \times H^1$ for both bounded domain and the whole space ${\mathbb R}^2$ is a new one. It has been open and also seems much more challenging than the first result. Global regularity of the solution $(u, θ) \in D(A) \times H^2$ is also proved.
The Impact of UN Peacekeeping on the Strategic Escalation of Force by Belligerents
Creators: name: Robinson, Kellan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: In this paper, I explore how the announcement of a peacekeeping operation (PKO) impacts the use of force by rebels. I hypothesize that after a mandate is passed in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) but before peacekeepers are on the ground, insurgents will strategically increase their use of force on the battle field and against civilians in order to maximize access to resources before the PKO arrives. A key element of this argument is the nature of a multidimensional PKO which has a mandate justified by Chapter VII of the UN Charter. Under Chapter VII, intervention requires minimal consent from host states to establish an operation. This minimal consent translates to the state’s ability to withhold consent at a local level, dictating where the UN operation is allowed to position itself. Thus, the state has the ability to move an operation into regions where state authority is contested, and bring that territory back under state control. In this fashion, UN intervention can be manipulated by the governing group, and could lead rebels to see UN intervention as a boost in power of their rival. This causes insurgents to try to commit more acts of violence as they strategically push for more territorial control within the country from which they receive new recruits, monetary resources, and natural resources before the UN operation arrives. I test this theory using a regression discontinuity design looking specifically at the three month window after UN PKO announcement but before boots are on the ground in order to analyze whether or not rebels increase battlefield violence and violence against civilians in this time period.

description: Solving intractable mathematical problems in simulators composed of atoms, ions, photons or electrons has recently emerged as a subject of intense interest. Here we extend this concept to phonons that are localised in spectrally pure resonances in an electromechanical system which enables their interactions to be exquisitely fashioned via electrical means. We harness this platform to emulate the Ising Hamiltonian whose spin 1/2 particles are replicated by the phase bistable vibrations from a parametric resonance where multiple resonances play the role of a spin bath. The coupling between the mechanical pseudo spins is created by generating thermomechanical two-mode squeezed states which impart correlations between resonances that can imitate a ferromagnetic, random or an anti-ferromagnetic state on demand. These results suggest an electromechanical simulator for the Ising Hamiltonian could be built with a large number of spins with multiple degrees of coupling, a task that would overwhelm a conventional computer.

For not too large field the density of states $g(ω)$ develops localized soft {\em plastic} modes and reaches zero as $ω^4$ (for large fiels a gap appears). When we perturb the system adding a force along the softest mode one reaches very similar minima of the energy, separated by small barriers, that appear to be good candidates for classical two-level systems.

Trapped on Earth in the Land of the Sky: Tellability and Cultural Impact in the Ghostly Legends of Zelda Fitzgerald and the Pink Lady in Asheville, North Carolina

description: Legend’s shape the culture around them in powerful ways by giving us the language to express ideas often hushed or unexplored by history. Ghost stories in particular are crucial to community identity formation, alerting the modern audience to a gap in our understanding of the past. Ghosts exist in what Folklorist Bill Ellis calls a “legend cycle,” but in this paper I explore the idea that ghost stories exist in multiple iterations of this cycle at once, pushing the societal boundaries and shaping the culture around them in different ways for each group the legend cycle operates within. In Asheville, North Carolina two such stories that do this important work are the ghost of Zelda Fitzgerald at the site of the Highland Hospital fire and the Pink Lady at the Grove Park Inn. Both of these women who lived in the twentieth century challenge the twenty-first century teller and listener to explore parts of our communal story that have remained untold for decades. Yet, not all the stories these ghosts could tell are tellable to our modern senses, so even in their culture shaping power they have been limited by time and space.  This paper seeks to explore how the various iterations of the legend cycle existing for these two ghost stories change the historical narrative and yet, in a complicated sense, reinforce the cultural ideas set in place by the passage of time.

description: The aim of this study is to understand how the Russian pro-government youth movement Yunarmiya (Юнармия) promotes values that assist the Russian state through its presence online and use of social media accounts. This research responds to the questions of how Yunarmiya fosters both militaristic and nationalistic values and creates a specific, persuasive version of Russian nationalism by evaluating the image it wishes to convey to young people as a form of propaganda. Answers to these questions provide a glimpse into the government’s needs from its youngest generations, as a breakdown of the symbolism, propaganda, and rhetorical tactics it employs reveal that Yunarmiya is trying to create a climate where service to the Russian state is lauded and the country’s youth is indirectly made to feel as if it owes itself to service of the Russian nation and community.

description: The purpose of this work is to perform a statistical analysis of the location of compact groups in the Universe from observational and semi-analytical points of view. We used the velocity-filtered compact group sample extracted from the Two Micron All Sky Survey for our analysis. We also used a new sample of galaxy groups identified in the 2M++ galaxy redshift catalogue as tracers of the large-scale structure. We defined a procedure to search in redshift space for compact groups that can be considered embedded in other overdense systems and applied this criterion to several possible combinations of different compact and galaxy group subsamples. We also performed similar analyses for simulated compact and galaxy groups identified in a 2M++ mock galaxy catalogue constructed from the Millennium Run Simulation I plus a semi-analytical model of galaxy formation. We observed that only $\sim27\%$ of the compact groups can be considered to be embedded in larger overdense systems, that is, most of the compact groups are more likely to be isolated systems. The embedded compact groups show statistically smaller sizes and brighter surface brightnesses than non-embedded systems. No evidence was found that embedded compact groups are more likely to inhabit galaxy groups with a given virial mass or with a particular dynamical state. We found very similar results when the analysis was performed using mock compact and galaxy groups. Based on the semi-analytical studies, we predict that $70\%$ of the embedded compact groups probably are 3D physically dense systems. Finally, real space information allowed us to reveal the bimodal behaviour of the distribution of 3D minimum distances between compact and galaxy groups. The location of compact groups should be carefully taken into account when comparing properties of galaxies in environments that are a priori different.

description: The infrastructure developed within eNanoMapper project aims to support the data management in the area of nano safety research and to enable an integrated approach for the risk assessment of nanomaterials. To achieve these, eNanoMapper developed an ontology, a data infrastructure and modelling tools with applicability in risk assessment of nanomaterials. By merging the expertise of partners in statistical and data mining tools and in predictive toxicology, biology and nanotechnology research, eNanoMapper developed resources and tools for predicting toxicity of nanomaterials and worked towards improving the standards in risk assessment of nanomaterials. The ontology includes common vocabulary terms used in nanosafety research and aims to provide a clear explanation of nanostructures based on information relating to their characterization, relevant experimental paradigms, biological interactions, safety indications and the integration of data from existing nanotoxicology sources. To support a collaborative safety assessment approach an infrastructure for data management was developed, with a database which includes functionalities for data protection, data sharing, data quality assurance, search and interfaces for different needs and usages, comparability and cross-talk with other databases. Further, a collection of descriptors, computational toxicology models and modelling tools were developed, to enable the use and integration of nanosafety data from various sources. The project provides also a rich source of information and documentation (e.g. tutorials, webinars, publications) to support and guide the users. eNanoMapper is supported by European Commission 7th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development Grant (Grant agreement no: 604134).

description: We present a real-time algorithm that finds the Penetration Depth (PD) between general polygonal models based on iterative and local optimization techniques. Given an in-collision configuration of an object in configuration space, we find an initial collision-free configuration using several methods such as centroid difference, maximally clear configuration, motion coherence, random configuration, and sampling-based search. We project this configuration on to a local contact space using a variant of continuous collision detection algorithm and construct a linear convex cone around the projected configuration. We then formulate a new projection of the in-collision configuration onto the convex cone as a Linear Complementarity Problem (LCP), which we solve using a type of Gauss-Seidel iterative algorithm. We repeat this procedure until a locally optimal PD is obtained. Our algorithm can process complicated models consisting of tens of thousands triangles at interactive rates.

Of particular interest was the difference in perceived mental wellness between the DDS and ADE populations given the inherent differences in age and time spent in training.  An online questionnaire was distributed to 455 DDS and ADE students. The survey included demographic queries, screening for depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), and provider burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory), as well as a modified version of the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey. The response rate was 64% for DDS (N=211) and 66% for ADE (N=53). Overall DDS students showed higher self-reported levels of moderate to severe anxiety and depression than ADE students, but the difference was not statistically significant.  A total of 16 students reported an incidence of suicidal ideation within the last 12 months, with a greater, but not statistically significant, prevalence among the ADE population.  A higher reported level of loneliness was associated with increased anxiety, depression and emotional exhaustion across all student populations.  Specifically, the ADE population reported significantly less positive social interaction and emotional support.  A focus on activities to increase meaningful personal interaction amongst ADE students outside of the school setting may be warranted to increase emotional resilience.

description: This volume contains the proceedings of the (first) Graphs as Models (GaM) 2015 workshop, held on 10-11 April 2015 in London, U.K., as a satellite workshop of ETAPS 2015, the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software. This new workshop combines the strengths of two pre-existing workshop series: GT-VMT (Graph Transformation and Visual Modelling Techniques) and GRAPHITE (Graph Inspection and Traversal Engineering). Graphs are used as models in all areas of computer science: examples are state space graphs, control flow graphs, syntax graphs, UML-type models of all kinds, network layouts, social networks, dependency graphs, and so forth. Used to model a particular phenomenon or process, graphs are then typically analysed to find out properties of the modelled subject, or transformed to construct other types of models. The workshop aimed at attracting and stimulating research on the techniques for graph analysis, inspection and transformation, on a general level rather than in any specific domain. In total, we received 15 submissions covering several different areas. Of these 15 submissions, nine were eventually accepted and appear in this volume.

description: Oscillatory flows are commonly experienced by swimming microorganisms in the environment, industrial applications and rheological investigations. We experimentally characterise the response of the alga {\it Dunaliella salina} to oscillatory shear flows, and report the surprising discovery that algal swimming trajectories orient perpendicular to the flow-shear plane. The ordering has the characteristics of a resonance in the driving parameter space. The behaviour is qualitatively reproduced by a simple model and simulations accounting for helical swimming, providing the mechanism for ordering and criteria for the resonant amplitude and frequency. The implications of this work for active oscillatory rheology and industrial algal processing are discussed.

description: A CubeSat with a prototype scintillating detector with a sensitive volume of GAGG crystal is being developed with a possible launch date of 2025. Its purpose is to characterize the background signals that mimic the neutrino interaction that the nuSOL (Neutrino Solar Orbiting Laboratory) team is looking for. An important part of the characterization of the backgrounds and the expected real signal is understanding the gamma ray detection efficiency of the prototype detector when compared to simulations performed in Geant4. To this end we have used three techniques to do a measurement of the gamma ray efficiency compared to simulation. The first is using electron capture sources that emit an X-ray before prompt emission of a de-excitation gamma ray, specifically Zn-65 and Mn-54. The second is using a beta + decay source wherein a positron annihilates on an atomic shell electron producing two back-to-back 511 keV gammas followed promptly by a de-excitation gamma, specifically Na-22. The third is using a gamma cascade of two near-simultaneous de-excitation gammas from the same nucleus, specifically from Co-60 decay.

description: Usually the effects of isotropic inhomogeneities are not seriously taken into account in the determination of the cosmological parameters because of Copernican principle whose statement is that we do not live in the privileged domain in the universe. But Copernican principle has not been observationally confirmed yet in sufficient accuracy, and there is the possibility that there are non-negligible large-scale isotropic inhomogeneities in our universe. In this paper, we study the effects of the isotropic inhomogeneities on the determination of the cosmological parameters and show the probability that non-Copernican isotropic inhomogeneities mislead us into believing, for example, the phantom energy of the equation of state, $p=wρ$ with $w

DEEP MAPPING PRISON MUSIC IN THE AMERICAN SOUTH, 1933–1940
Creators: name: Hynes, Emily Ann
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2020

description: ABSTRACT      	This research draws on Clifford Geertz’s understanding of ethnography as “thick description” and applies it through David Bodenhamer’s notion of “deep mapping” in order to analyze societal and political structures framing the music making of prisoners in the South from 1933–1940. Key to this research is the utilization of digitally mapping a multiplicity of contexts to acknowledge the multiplicity of the recording event in the field. Using recordings from the Library of Congress made by John Lomax from 1933–1940, I analyze how structures of racism and inequality frame rehabilitation culture and prison life. Then, I address Lomax’s methodology and ideology, showing how structures of racism in modernist thought influenced the collection of these songs. This leads to discussion of the publicization of the recording events and the ramifications for prisoners. Finally, a case study on Lomax’s recording of John Gibson singing “Levee Camp Holler” serves as an example of the ways in which structures of racism through rehabilitation and publicization serve as frameworks for prisoners’ singing.       This work is accompanied by an ArcGIS Storymap which includes text, primary source scans, photos, videos, interactive maps, and recordings to “deep map” contexts of the prisoners’ songs. Overall, I aim to show how deep mapping may be used as a form of “thick description” to confront and re-frame entrenched biases and historical narratives which have shaped public thought on carceral singing in the American South.

The effects of pilates on symptoms of anxiety, depression, and fatigue among people with multiple sclerosis
Creators: name: Fleming, Karl

Subjects: Sports science and exercise

description: This programme of research investigated the effects of Pilates on symptoms of anxiety, depression, and fatigue among persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS). Evidence supports mental health benefits of traditional exercise modes among otherwise healthy adults, chronically ill patients and adults with anxiety and depressive disorders. However, a paucity of evidence exists on the benefits of non-traditional modes, including Pilates. Thus, a meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the overall population effect of Pilates on mental health outcomes, among healthy and chronically ill populations. Random-effects meta-analysis of the available empirical evidence from controlled trials showed significantly reduced anxiety symptoms (Δ=1.29; 95%CI: 0.24-2.33; p≤0.02), depressive symptoms ∆=1.27; 95%CI: 0.44-2.09; p≤0.003), and feelings of fatigue (∆=0.93; 95%CI: 0.21-1.66, p≤0.012), however, no trial involved PwMS. To address this research gap, an eight-week randomized controlled pilot trial examined the feasibility of Pilates to improve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and fatigue among PwMS, and underpin prospective research and development of a larger randomized controlled trial (RCT). Results revealed full compliance, no attrition or reported adverse events, hence establishing feasibility and proof-of-concept of home-based Pilates to improve mental health outcomes among women with MS with minimal-to-mild mobility disability. Qualitative analysis of participant experiences of the feasibility study supported Pilates, particularly home-based, as a safe, intensity-appropriate, and implementable exercise method that improved perceived and measured mental health outcomes among PwMS. This critically informed protocol design, and implementation of an adequately powered RCT of home-based Pilates on symptoms of anxiety, depression, and fatigue among PwMS. In the RCT intention-to-treat and completer analyses showed significant (all p⩽0.03), moderate-to-large improvements in symptoms of anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, d=0.30; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Anxiety, d=0.49), depression (Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology, d=0.70; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale-Depression, d=0.74), and fatigue (cognitive (d=0.44), physical (d=0.78), psychosocial (d=0.56) and total fatigue (d=0.76), including clinically meaningful improvements in depression and fatigue. These novel findings provide an original and significant contribution to knowledge, supporting home-based Pilates as an alternative low-impact exercise modality to improve mental health among PwMS.
