Improving Insomnia with Digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Patients with Diabetes
Creators: name: Lunardi, Patricia
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Background: Managing and treating insomnia in patients with diabetes mellitus requires the examination of current literature of evidence-based research implementing pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. This QI project focused on the implementation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). Purpose: The purpose of this project was to implement CBT-I in adult patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and examined whether it alleviated their insomnia symptoms using the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) tool. Methods: The study used a one-group pre-test and post-test intervention design; the intervention is a free application, “CBT-i Coach”. 20 participants were invited to participate from an Endocrinology office who were over the age 18, and who fit additional criteria. Participants used the self-study application at home for 4 weeks with scheduled follow-up emails and calls. The Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess the baseline and post-intervention sleep quality. Results: 40% of participants (n=8) completed the intervention. The pre-PSQI mean score was 9.9 (SD=3.4) and the post-PSQI mean score was 6.6 (SD=5.1), demonstrating improvement in insomnia sleep quality post intervention implementation. Discussion: The study findings demonstrated that CBT-i Coach improved insomnia after participants used it at home for 4 weeks. Nursing Implication: CBT-i Coach is an effective intervention for nurses and providers to teach to their patients and implement for adults with Diabetes Mellitus. Due to the easy-to-use and free digital format, healthcare providers would be inclined to recommend the use of CBT-i Coach in patients complaining of insomnia symptoms.

description: Torque sensors such as the torsion balance enabled the first determination of the gravitational constant by Cavendish and the discovery of Coulomb's law. Torque sensors are also widely used in studying small-scale magnetism, the Casimir effect, and other applications. Great effort has been made to improve the torque detection sensitivity by nanofabrication and cryogenic cooling. The most sensitive nanofabricated torque sensor has achieved a remarkable sensitivity of $10^{-24} \rm{Nm}/\sqrt{\rm{Hz}}$ at millikelvin temperatures in a dilution refrigerator. Here we dramatically improve the torque detection sensitivity by developing an ultrasensitive torque sensor with an optically levitated nanorotor in vacuum. We measure a torque as small as $(1.2 \pm 0.5) \times 10^{-27} \rm{Nm}$ in 100 seconds at room temperature. Our system does not require complex nanofabrication or cryogenic cooling. Moreover, we drive a nanoparticle to rotate at a record high speed beyond 5 GHz (300 billion rpm). Our calculations show that this system will be able to detect the long-sought vacuum friction near a surface under realistic conditions. The optically levitated nanorotor will also have applications in studying nanoscale magnetism and quantum geometric phase.

description: In this paper, we propose a new estimation procedure for discovering the structure of Gaussian Markov random fields (MRFs) with false discovery rate (FDR) control, making use of the sorted l1-norm (SL1) regularization. A Gaussian MRF is an acyclic graph representing a multivariate Gaussian distribution, where nodes are random variables and edges represent the conditional dependence between the connected nodes. Since it is possible to learn the edge structure of Gaussian MRFs directly from data, Gaussian MRFs provide an excellent way to understand complex data by revealing the dependence structure among many inputs features, such as genes, sensors, users, documents, etc. In learning the graphical structure of Gaussian MRFs, it is desired to discover the actual edges of the underlying but unknown probabilistic graphical model-it becomes more complicated when the number of random variables (features) p increases, compared to the number of data points n. In particular, when p >> n, it is statistically unavoidable for any estimation procedure to include false edges. Therefore, there have been many trials to reduce the false detection of edges, in particular, using different types of regularization on the learning parameters. Our method makes use of the SL1 regularization, introduced recently for model selection in linear regression. We focus on the benefit of SL1 regularization that it can be used to control the FDR of detecting important random variables. Adapting SL1 for probabilistic graphical models, we show that SL1 can be used for the structure learning of Gaussian MRFs using our suggested procedure nsSLOPE (neighborhood selection Sorted L-One Penalized Estimation), controlling the FDR of detecting edges.

description: Hardware accelerators are key to the efficiency and performance of system-on-chip (SoC) architectures. With high-level synthesis (HLS), designers can easily obtain several performance-cost trade-off implementations for each component of a complex hardware accelerator. However, navigating this design space in search of the Pareto-optimal implementations at the system level is a hard optimization task. We present COSMOS, an automatic methodology for the design-space exploration (DSE) of complex accelerators, that coordinates both HLS and memory optimization tools in a compositional way. First, thanks to the co-design of datapath and memory, COSMOS produces a large set of Pareto-optimal implementations for each component of the accelerator. Then, COSMOS leverages compositional design techniques to quickly converge to the desired trade-off point between cost and performance at the system level. When applied to the system-level design (SLD) of an accelerator for wide-area motion imagery (WAMI), COSMOS explores the design space as completely as an exhaustive search, but it reduces the number of invocations to the HLS tool by up to 14.6x.

description: The present work investigates the antibacterial activity of three quaternary ammoniums surfactants (QACs): (CnEtOH, CnPrOH, CniPrOH, where n = 12 and 14 carbon atoms against three bacterial strains Escherichia coli (E.coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). Results obtained show that the three compounds present the best antibacterial effect against Gram-positive S. aureus bacteria with Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) between 0.016 and 0.13 mmol/L. The evaluation of the zones of inhibition (IZ) and the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) shows an increase as a function of the lengthening of the carbon chain from 12 to 14 carbon atoms for all inhibitors against three bacterial strains. The location of the OH group shows its influence on the availability of N+ responsible for the electrostatic interactions with bacterial cell walls, which remains a very important step in the QAC mode of action. It has been found interestingly that for the C12 and C14 series, the CnEtOH compound exhibits excellent inhibitory activity among the three inhibitors studied against the three bacterial strains. In addition, the theoretical binding mode of the target molecules was evaluated by docking studies against the Dehydrosqualene synthase enzyme (CrtM) (PDB = 3ACX).

description: Pragmatics studies how context can contribute to language meanings. In human communication, language is never interpreted out of context, and sentences can usually convey more information than their literal meanings. However, this mechanism is missing in most multi-agent systems, restricting the communication efficiency and the capability of human-agent interaction. In this paper, we propose an algorithm, using which agents can spontaneously learn the ability to "read between lines" without any explicit hand-designed rules. We integrate the theory of mind (ToM) in a cooperative multi-agent pedagogical situation and propose an adaptive reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm to develop a communication protocol. ToM is a profound cognitive science concept, claiming that people regularly reason about other's mental states, including beliefs, goals, and intentions, to obtain performance advantage in competition, cooperation or coalition. With this ability, agents consider language as not only messages but also rational acts reflecting others' hidden states. Our experiments demonstrate the advantage of pragmatic protocols over non-pragmatic protocols. We also show the teaching complexity following the pragmatic protocol empirically approximates to recursive teaching dimension (RTD).

description: We have analysed Herschel observations of M31, using the PPMAP procedure. The resolution of PPMAP images is sufficient (31 pc on M31) that we can analyse far-IR dust emission on the scale of Giant Molecular Clouds. By comparing PPMAP estimates of the far-IR emission optical depth at 300 microns (tau_300), and the near-IR extinction optical depth at 1.1 microns (tau_1.1) obtained from the reddening of RGB stars, we show that the ratio R_OBS.tau = tau_1.1/tau_300 falls in the range 500 to 1500. Such low values are incompatible with many commonly used theoretical dust models, which predict values of R_MODEL.kappa = kappa_1.1/kappa_300 (where kappa is the dust opacity coefficient) in the range 2500 to 4000. That is, unless a large fraction, at least 60%, of the dust emitting at 300 microns is in such compact sources that they are unlikely to intercept the lines of sight to a distributed population like RGB stars. This is not a new result: variants obtained using different observations and/or different wavelengths have already been reported by other studies. We present two analytic arguments for why it is unlikely that at least 60% of the emitting dust is in sufficiently compact sources. Therefore it may be necessary to explore the possibility that the discrepancy between observed values of R_OBS.tau and theoretical values of R_MODEL.kappa is due to limitations in existing dust models. PPMAP also allows us to derive optical-depth weighted mean values for the emissivity index, beta = - dln(kappa_lambda)/dln(lambda), and the dust temperature, T, denoted betabar and Tbar. We show that, in M31, R_OBS.tau is anti-correlated with betabar according to R_OBS.tau = 2042(+/-24)-557(+/-10)betabar. If confirmed, this provides a challenging constraint on the nature of interstellar dust in M31.

No contexto de políticas públicas de desenvolvimento rural, as Vilas Rurais implantadas no Paraná são consideradas um programa inédito no país. Para alcançar-se o objetivo proposto neste trabalho foi realizado um estudo de caso das Vilas Rurais dos municípios de Corbélia e Anahy - Região Oeste do Paraná -, onde se identificou o impacto do programa na vida dos assentados. A avaliação é de que, se não houve mudança significativa em termos econômicos, entretanto, no aspecto de qualidade de vida houve sensível transformação. Observou-se in loco, através de entrevistas com os vileiros, o aumento na autoestima e satisfação das famílias de maneira geral, especialmente no tocante à casa própria e ao terreno para produção voltada à subsistência, e a redução de risco social desses assentados. Para uma efetiva melhoria nas condições socioeconômicas as vilas rurais necessitam ainda de projetos de geração de renda e assistência técnica, direcionados à mão-de-obra desqualificada como a do “bóia-fria”.

description: We study condensation transitions in the steady state of a zero-range process with two species of particles. The steady state is exactly soluble -- it is given by a factorised form provided the dynamics satisfy certain constraints -- and we exploit this to derive the phase diagram for a quite general choice of dynamics. This phase diagram contains a variety of new mechanisms of condensate formation, and a novel phase in which the condensate of one of the particle species is sustained by a `weak' condensate of particles of the other species. We also demonstrate how a single particle of one of the species (which plays the role of a defect particle) can induce Bose-Einstein condensation above a critical density of particles of the other species.

Serious Mental Illness and the Continuum of Cancer Care
Creators: name: Akwe, Beriline
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Background and Review of Literature: Cancer has been associated with up to a 30 percent higher case fatality rate among adults living with serious mental illness (SMI) although their incidence is similar to that of the general population. This disparity has been attributed to healthcare system, health care provider, community/policy, family caregiver and individual patient factors.
Purpose: To provide community mental health care clinicians with knowledge and skills to effectively function in the key role as care coordinators in the clinical-community relationship in efforts to assist persons with serious mental illness access effective, efficient, safe, timely, equitable and person-centered care across the continuum of cancer care.
Methods: This is quality improvement project in which the care coordination knowledge, attitude and practice of Adult Community Clinical Services (ACCS) team clinicians at a community mental health agency was assessed using a survey questionnaire. An educational intervention on the collaborative care model (coordinated or concurrent care) to improve practice was provided to this group of workers.
Implementation plan/Procedure: Two (2) 60-minute educational presentation on care coordination/collaboration were provided to community mental health clinicians mid-December 2019. The University of Massachusetts, Amherst (UMass) Internal Review Board (IRB) approval was obtained prior to the implementation of this DNP Project.
Implications/Conclusion: Care coordination efforts have the promise to solidify interdisciplinary collaboration in care delivery and in effect improve physical health outcomes by facilitating the attainment of cancer care goals for people living with SMI.
Improving Intimate Partner Violence Screening Practices Among Postpartum Nurses
Creators: name: Mills-Humphreys, Robin
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Abstract
Background and Review of the Literature: Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy is a global public health issue that has negative outcomes on both an individual and a societal level. Health care providers play a pivotal role in providing services to women experiencing violence during pregnancy. Regardless of the setting, barriers to IPV screening exist among healthcare providers. Review of the literature examined the existing IPV screening practices and screening barriers among healthcare providers to better understand the relationship between barriers and frequency of screening for IPV. Purpose: The purpose of this DNP project was to enhance knowledge of IPV for postpartum nurses. Methods: Sixty-eight postpartum nurses employed at an inner city academic medical center were invited to complete the Barriers to Abuse Assessment Tool adapted for Postpartum Nurses (BAAT-PPN) followed by a DNP student created eLearning module. Fifteen nurses completed the BAAT-PPN aimed at identifying site specific barriers to IPV screening. Sixty-seven nurses completed the educational intervention focused on IPV in pregnancy and site resources. A pre/post intervention test was used to assess the nurses knowledge. Results: Systemic (50.00%) and knowledge (25.00%) barriers were identified as most important in IPV assessment. Outcome measures indicated an increase in nursing knowledge specifically in the areas of defining IPV (28.01%), frequency of IPV (26.52%), factors associated with IPV in pregnancy (14.71%), and resources available at the site (32.31%). Conclusion: Nurses consider IPV screening within their scope of practice but identified lack of training as a barrier. Raising awareness through education is an important facilitator in improving recognition of and response to IPV among nurses.

Adolescent Mental Health Training for Middle School Educators
Creators: name: Minton, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Abstract
Background: Adolescent mental health disorders are an increasing concern in the United States. School systems, specifically educators, are in the unique role to aid in early identification of mental health disorders, as well to intervene in mental health distress.  However, mental health training for educators is lacking, leaving educators unprepared to manage mental health concerns within their classroom.
Purpose: The purpose was to utilize an evidence-based training, the “Teacher Knowledge Update Guide” from TeenMentalHealth.org to train middle school educators on the signs and symptoms of mental health conditions in the adolescent population with the intent to increase awareness, knowledge, and confidence level within the educators.
 Method: Within a Massachusetts K1-8th public school, an in-person training consisted of one two-hour session. The participants conducted pre- and post-survey and grade level group interviews to determine level of awareness, knowledge, and confidence level.
Results: Eighteen educators completed the training and surveys. Of the eighteen, twelve volunteered for group interviews. Results from the surveys indicated an increase in awareness, knowledge, and confidence amongst middle school educators regarding adolescent mental health as well as deeming the training beneficial.  The group interviews indicated an increase in awareness and knowledge from the training but that participants lacked confidence to manage adolescent mental health disorders within their classrooms.
Conclusion:  Training middle school educators on adolescent mental health can be a benefit to both adolescents and middle school educators when training is completed successfully within the school setting.

description: User embodiment is important for many virtual reality (VR) applications, for example, in the context of social interaction, therapy, training, or entertainment. However, there is no validated instrument to empirically measure the perception of embodiment, necessary to reliably evaluate this important quality of user experience (UX). To assess components of virtual embodiment in a valid, reliable, and consistent fashion, we develped a Virtual Embodiment Questionnaire (VEQ). We reviewed previous literature to identify applicable constructs and items, and performed a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on the data from three experiments (N = 196). Each experiment modified a distinct simulation property, namely, the level of immersion, the level of personalization, and the level of behavioral realism. The analysis confirmed three factors: (1) ownership of a virtual body, (2) agency over a virtual body, and (3) change in the perceived body schema. A fourth study (N = 22) further confirmed the reliability and validity of the scale and investigated the impacts of latency jitter of avatar movements presented in the simulation compared to linear latencies and a baseline. We present the final scale and further insights from the studies regarding related constructs.

description: The quartic scalar coupling $λ_5$ term, which violates the lepton-number by two units in the Ma-model, is phenomenologically small when the model is applied to the lepton-flavor violation (LFV) processes. In order to dynamically generate the $λ_5$ parameter through quantum loop effects and retain the dark matter (DM) candidate, we extend the Ma-model by adding a $Z_2$-odd vector-like lepton doublet and a $Z_2$-even Majorana singlet. With the new couplings to the Higgs and gauge bosons, the observed DM relic density can be explained when the upper limits from the DM-nucleon scattering cross sections are satisfied. In addition to the neutrino data and LFV constraints, it is found that the DM relic density can significantly exclude the free parameter space. Nevertheless, the resulting muon $g-2$ mediated by the inert charged-Higgs can fit the $4.2σ$ deviation between the experimental measurement and the SM result, and the branching ratio for $τ\to μγ$ can be as large as the current upper limit when the rare $μ\to (e γ, 3 e)$ decays are suppressed. In addition, it is found that the resulting $BR(τ\to μρ)$ can reach the sensitivity of Belle II with an integrated luminosity of 50 $ab^{-1}$.

Epidural Education for Parturients Using a Video Teaching Tool
Creators: name: Moore, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2020

Introduction: The use of epidural analgesia for labor pain is becoming more common across the United States. Laboring mothers report feeling under informed about epidural side effects and dissatisfaction with the timing of the information.Background: Providing appropriate and adequate education and informed consent for epidural analgesia can prove challenging, especially during labor. Nevertheless, it is important for women to understand the potential risks in order to make a fully informed decision. Purpose: The purpose of this Quality improvement project was to show evidence of the benefits for the use of an obstetric anesthesia video during the education process and to devise a plan for the implementation of video-assisted education during anesthesia consultation to help improve patient knowledge and satisfaction prior to labor and delivery. Method: Patients were provided a 36-week anesthesia consultation. During the consultation they were provided anesthesia education in the form of an educational video and verbal discussion. Pre and post epidural knowledge was assessed utilizing questionnaires given at the beginning of the consultation and again after watching the epidural video. Results: At the completion of the data collection period, 40 pre- and post-intervention surveys had been collected. A Paired T test comparing the means of the pre and post education survey found a significant difference (p<0.01) between correct responses indicating improved knowledge after the intervention. Additionally, mean patient satisfaction score was 3.63 (SD 0.42) on a one to four point scale indicating satisfaction with education process.Conclusion: Results from the QI project appear to support the use of an educational epidural video during the antenatal anesthesia consultation for epidural education as a means to improve patient knowledge and satisfaction.

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The reactions e^+e^- -> e^+e^- Lambda X and e^+e^- -> e^+e^- Lambda X are studied using data collected at LEP with the L3 detector at centre-of-mass energies between 189 and 209 GeV. Inclusive differential cross sections are measured as a function of the lambda transverse momentum, p_t, and pseudo-rapidity, eta, in the ranges 0.4 GeV < p_t < 2.5 GeV and |η| < 1.2. The data are compared to Monte Carlo predictions. The differential cross section as a function of p_t is well described by an exponential of the form A exp (- p_t / )$.
Self Management of Chronic Pain
Creators: name: Hastie, Carolynn
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

Abstract
Background and Review of Literature: Deaths related to the misuse of opioids for chronic pain management has increased over several years. Policies have been made to control and monitor prescription opioids and decrease the amount prescribed for patients. However, there has been little education provided to patients regarding self-management strategies to help manage their pain independently or with combination of their medications.
Purpose: The purpose of this project was to address this gap in self-management strategies through an evidence-based educational intervention.
Methods: An evidence based educational intervention was provided to selected primary care patients at an urban community health center. Pre- and post-evaluation of pain self-management ability was measured using the Pain Self-Efficiency Questionnaire (PSEQ).
Results: After completing the implementation of this project and the data analysis, it was determined that even though there was a small percentage of drop put rate, the overall mean score for PSEQ scores increased from 21.5 pre implementation to 24.5 after implementation. These results demonstrated the positive effect self-management strategies have on pain management and daily living.
Conclusion: Pain self-management programs and non-pharmaceutical strategies have been shown to improve chronic pain management. By providing patients with the latest evidence-based education and resources regarding effective self-management strategies to manage pain have been demonstrated to improve chronic pain management.

description: The nonrelativistic energy together with relativistic and quantum electrodynamic corrections for all the molecular hydrogen isotopologues (D$_2$, T$_2$, HD, HT, DT) were evaluated without expansion in the electron-nucleus mass ratio. The obtained results significantly improve the uncertainty of theoretical predictions, reaching a value below 1 MHz for the total dissociation energy. We observe good agreement with the experimental value for D$_2$ and $3\,σ$ discrepancy for the HD molecule, while no experimental values for the dissociation energy of molecules involving tritium have yet been obtained.

description: This paper develops an economic and econometric analysis of demand dynamics, with an application to US aggregate data over the period 1948-2010. The model builds on duality and the benefit function, which provide strong linkages with the theory. The research involves the specification and estimation of dynamic price-dependent demands as representations of marginal benefits. The analysis uncovers strong statistical evidence of demand dynamics, especially for food. We find that the marginal benefit of food declines with food consumption and that this effect becomes much stronger in the long run. We also find that, while food and service are always complements, the strength of this complementarity relationship increases sharply in the longer run.

description: This paper investigates the nonparametric analysis of technology under non-convexity. The analysis extends two approaches now commonly used in efficiency and productivity analysis: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) where convexity is imposed; and Free Disposal Hull (FDH) models. We argue that, while the FDH model allows for non-convexity, its representation of non-convexity is too extreme. We propose a new nonparametric model that relies on a neighborhood-based technology assessment which allows for less extreme forms of non-convexity. The distinctive feature of our approach is that it allows for non-convexity to arise in any part of the feasible set. We show how it can be implemented empirically by solving simple linear programming problems. And we illustrate the usefulness of the approach in an empirical application to the analysis of technical and scale efficiency on Korean farms.
Robot Pets in Dementia Care: An Educational Intervention
Creators: name: Bradford, Laura
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2021

Background and Review of Literature: Dementia is a progressive disease of memory and functioning that affects almost six million people in the United States. Elders with dementia often experience depression, as well as behaviors such as agitation or wandering. Antipsychotic medications have been used to manage behaviors in dementia, but these medications can have serious side effects. There is data on effective non-pharmaceutical approaches to behavior management in dementia, but these techniques are not always used. The use of robot pets is a potential intervention, but there are currently no programs that include training about robot pets in dementia care.
Purpose: The purpose of this project was to determine if education can increase nursing home workers’ knowledge of robot pets and perception of them as a beneficial intervention in dementia care.
Methods: A quantitative design project was performed using a short training video and pre- and post-questionnaires.
Results: The project demonstrated that a training module of skilled nursing facility staff can increase the knowledge about, and willingness to use, robot pets in dementia care.
Conclusion: The project showed that training increased staff willingness to use robot pets as an intervention in dementia care.

description: The Greenbrier River watershed in West Virginia suffers from severe algal bloom problems. A combination of hydrological and economic models is used to assess the physical and economic feasibility of generating total phosphorus (TP) credits to offset a proposed TP standard of 0.5mg/l for wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). The results reveal that most cropland and only a proportion pasture and grassland would need base management practices to TP runoff from agricultural land in order to fulfill WWTP’s TP load reductions. All four TP credit market scenarios resulted in a cost savings compared to no market, with potential cost savings of up to $1.2 million/year over WWTP upgrades to meet the TP standard.
On hydrodynamic shear turbulence in Keplerian disks: via transient growth to bypass transition

description: This paper deals with the problem of hydrodynamic shear turbulence in non-magnetized Keplerian disks. We wish to draw attention to a route to hydrodynamic turbulence which seems to be little known by the astrophysical community, but which has been intensively discussed among fluid dynamicists during the past decade. In this so-called `bypass' concept for the onset of turbulence, perturbations undergo a transient growth, and they may reach an amplitude that is sufficiently large to allow positive feedback through nonlinear interactions. This transient growth is linear in nature, and thus it differs in principle from the well-known nonlinear instability. We describe the type of perturbations that according to this process are the most likely to lead to turbulence, namely non-axisymmetric vortex mode perturbations in the two dimensional limit. We show that the apparently inhibiting action of the Coriolis force on the dynamics of such vortical perturbations is substantially diminished due to the pressure perturbations, contrary to current opinion. We stress the similarity of the turbulent processes in Keplerian disks and in Cartesian flows and conclude that the prevalent skepticism of the astrophysical community on the occurrence of hydrodynamic shear turbulence in such disks is not founded.
