description: Pathological dysbiosis of the intestinal microbiome can lead to defects in immune homeostasis and a breakdown in host defense that increases susceptibility to infection. This is particularly relevant in patients with sepsis, a disorder of infection-induced systemic immune dysregulation and multi-organ dysfunction, where dysbiosis of the bacterial microbiome in these patients has been associated with adverse clinical outcomes. However, the impact of the fungal microbiome on sepsis pathogenesis has not been characterized. Analysis of the gut fungal microbiome in critically ill patients with sepsis identified severe fungal dysbiosis driven by marked overgrowth of Candida. Based on these clinical observations, we sought to investigate the functional impact of intestinal Candida overgrowth on systemic inflammation and host defense using mouse models. We colonized the gastrointestinal tracts of antibiotic-conditioned SPF C57BL/6 mice with different strains of C. albicans (including hyphal and yeast morphotypes) for 10 days prior to infection/sepsis with a well-characterized model of S. aureus bloodstream infection. The data indicated that colonizing mice with a yeast-locked strain of C. albicans displayed reduced illness severity, reduced systemic inflammation, and enhanced protection against systemic pathogen dissemination compared to uncolonized mice. In contrast, mice colonized with hyphal/filamentous C. albicans displayed similar illness severity, systemic inflammation, and pathogen burden as uncolonized controls. Further analysis of the immune landscape with mass cytometry indicated that yeast colonized mice have increased liver neutrophils. To test the therapeutic applicability of these findings, we treated hyphal colonized with yeast C. albicans to determine if it could displace hyphal C. albicans and impart immunological benefits. We found that yeast-treated mice had hyphal C. albicans physically displaced from their gut compartment by yeast treatment, and these treated mice had reductions in systemic pathogen burden. To expand upon this, we determined that genetically yeast locked strains (flo8-/-) are also able to displace wild-type C. albicans (SC5314), suggesting that these findings are likely applicable to a diverse amount of yeast-locked strains. Together, this project determined the impact of C. albicans gut colonization on the systemic host response, while describing immune mechanisms mediating this response and identifying the therapeutic potential of treatment with yeast C. albicans.

description: The presence of ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic nanoparticles in the interstellar medium would give rise to magnetic dipole radiation at microwave and submm frequencies. Such grains may account for the strong mm-wavelength emission observed from a number of low-metallicity galaxies, including the Small Magellanic Cloud. We show how to calculate the absorption and scattering cross sections for such grains, with particular attention to metallic Fe, magnetite Fe3O4, and maghemite gamma-Fe2O3, all potentially present in the interstellar medium. The rate of Davis-Greenstein alignment by magnetic dissipation is also estimated. We determine the temperature of free-flying magnetic grains heated by starlight and we calculate the polarization of the magnetic dipole emission from both free-fliers and inclusions. For inclusions, the magnetic dipole emission is expected to be polarized orthogonally relative to the normal electric dipole radiation. Finally, we present self-consistent dielectric functions for metallic Fe, magnetite Fe3O4, and maghemite gamma-Fe2O3, enabling calculation of absorption and scattering cross sections from microwave to X-ray wavelengths.

description: Educational leaders are called to foster engaging classroom activities to address the learning needs of students across the Bahamas. However, the multiplicity of social, economic, and cultural challenges students face in the country is still a factor in the declining scores of the Bahamas Junior Certificate (BJC) English Language Exam, for instance. Thinking of the need to improve junior school-level language education, this scholarship draws on the need for educational practitioners to shift their attention to teaching practices and principles that incorporate learning methods that will enhance students’ engagement. Following a Hip-hop Based Education, the presented discussions touch base on innovative and creative ways to incorporate digital platforms to increase engagement levels of students, and consequently their improvement in the country’s national certificate exam. Literature suggests hip-hop has become a popular tool to improve student-teacher relationships, promote critical thinking and creativity, and enhance cultural awareness. Within the digital context, educational stakeholders have accessed broader implementation strategies that allow educators to work toward equipping students with contextualized skills, knowledge, and attitudes to thrive both inside the classrooms and in society. This qualitative case study further explores hip-hop use in the Bahamian context and how educators have been critically committed to helping change the current national certificate results among their students. Through the analysis of semi-structured interviews and a focus group discussion, the study's participating educators have shown that the English Language can create personal and professional growth opportunities for Bahamian students. Hence, their commitment to enhancing students’ classroom engagement is an alternative to critically contributing to students’ successes.

Multivariate extremal dependence and risk measures
Creators: name: Hua, Lei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Overlooking non-Gaussian and tail dependence phenomena has emerged as an important reason of underestimating aggregate financial or insurance risks. For modeling the dependence structures between non-Gaussian random variables, the concept of copula plays an important role and provides practitioners with promising quantitative tools. In order to study copula families that have different tail patterns and tail asymmetry than multivariate Gaussian and t copulas, we introduce the concepts of tail order and tail order functions. These provide a unified way to study three types of dependence in the tails: tail dependence, intermediate tail dependence and tail orthant independence. Some fundamental properties of tail order and tail order functions are obtained. For multivariate Archimedean copulas, we relate the tail heaviness of a positive random variable to the tail behavior of the Archimedean copula constructed by the Laplace transform of the random variable. Quantitative risk measurements pay more attention on large losses. A good statistical approach for the whole data does not guarantee a good way for risk assessments. We use tail comonotonicity as a conservative dependence structure for modeling multivariate dependent losses. By this way, we do not lose too much accuracy but gain reasonable conservative risk measures, especially when we consider high-risk scenarios. We have conducted a thorough investigation on the properties and constructions of tail comonotonicity, and found interesting properties such as asymptotic additivity properties of risk measures. Sufficient conditions have also been obtained to justify the conservativity of tail comonotonicity. For large losses, tail behavior of loss distributions is more critical than the whole distributions. Asymptotic study assuming that each marginal risk goes to infinity is more mathematically tractable. However, the asymptotic study that leads to a first order approximation is only a crude way and may not be sufficient. To this end, we study the second order conditions for risk measures of sub-extremal multiple risks. Some relationships between Value at Risk and Conditional Tail Expectation have been obtained under the condition of Second Order Regular Variation. We also find that the second order parameter determines whether a higher order approximation is necessary.

Slaveholding and Indentured Servitude in Seventeenth Century Maryland, 1674-1699
Creators: name: Payne, Philip Marshall
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 1968

description: This thesis is concerned with the characteristics of slaveholding and indentured servitude in seventeenth century Maryland, so far as these can be delineated from quantitative data. on the basis of a quantitative analysis of personal estates in the Inventories and Accounts of the Probate Court, several conclusions are apparent . These can best be stated in summary form in six propositions . First, estates with bond labor (slaves and/or servants) decreased from 36 per cent of the total number of estates during the period 1674 to 1679 to 24 per cent in 1695 to 1699. Second, the percentage of estates with slaves (slaves only or slaves and servants) increased from 24 per cent of those estates with bond labor in the period 1674 to 1679 to 72 per cent in 1695 to 1699. Third, the average number of slaves per estate (of those estates holding slaves) increased from 2.89 in the period 1674 to 1679 to 5.50 in 1695 to 1699. The average number of servants per estate (of those holding servants) decreased from 2.88 in the period 1674 to 1679 to 2.15 in 1695 to 1699. Fourth, those who invested 0 to 20 per cent of their total income in bond labor decreased, while those who invested 21 to 40 per cent of their total income in bond labor remained fairly constant. Those who invested 41 to 70 per cent of their total income in slaves and/or servants increased during the twenty-six year period. Fifth, there appeared to be a concentration of slaves in the hands of the wealthy. over the twenty-six year period, 17.6 per cent of the estates with bond labor held 52.2 per cent of the total number of slaves. Sixth, the average value of male slaves during the period was between L21 and L25; the average value of a female slave was Ll6 to L20 for the first several decades and L21 to L25 for the last decade. The average value for servants ranged from Ll to LlO, with the value increasing as the time of service increased.

description: We propose to use an antenna composed of two orthogonal helices as a low-scattering sensor. The vector effective length is derived for the antenna using the small dipole approximation for the helices. The antenna can transmit and receive circular polarization in all directions with the Huygens' pattern. We observe that the antenna geometry does not backscatter, regardless of the polarization, when the incidence direction is normal to the plane of the helices. Scattered fields, scattered axial ratio, and the scattering cross section are presented. We show that the zero-backscattering property holds also for the antenna when it is capable to receive all the available power with conjugate loading. The approximate analytical model is validated with full-wave simulations.

description: We present a minimal holographic model for s-wave superconductivity with unbalanced Fermi mixtures, in 2+1 dimensions at strong coupling. The breaking of a U(1)_A "charge" symmetry is driven by a non-trivial profile for a charged scalar field in a charged asymptotically AdS_4 black hole. The chemical potential imbalance is implemented by turning on the temporal component of a U(1)_B "spin" field under which the scalar field is uncharged. We study the phase diagram of the model and comment on the eventual (non) occurrence of LOFF-like inhomogeneous superconducting phases. Moreover, we study "charge" and "spin" transport, implementing a holographic realization (and a generalization thereof to superconducting setups) of Mott's two-current model which provides the theoretical basis of modern spintronics. Finally we comment on possible string or M-theory embeddings of our model and its higher dimensional generalizations, within consistent Kaluza-Klein truncations and brane-anti brane setups.

description: A Hopf algebra with four generators among which an involution (reflection) operator, is introduced. The defining relations involve commutators and anticommutators. The discrete series representations are developed. Designated by $sl_{-1}(2)$, this algebra encompasses the Lie superalgebra $osp(1|2)$. It is obtained as a $q=-1$ limit of the $sl_q(2)$ algebra and seen to be equivalent to the parabosonic oscillator algebra in irreducible representations. It possesses a noncocommutative coproduct. The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients (CGC) of $sl_{-1}(2)$ are obtained and expressed in terms of the dual -1 Hahn polynomials. A generating function for the CGC is derived using a Bargmann realization.

description: We report on the effect of exposure to atmospheric conditions on the THz conductivity of thin films of the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$. We find: 1) two contributions of mobile charge carriers to the THz conductivity immediately after growth, and 2) the spectral weight of the smaller of these decays significantly over a period of several days as the film is exposed to ambient conditions, while the other remains relatively constant. We associate the former with a bulk response, and the latter with the surface. The surface response exhibits the expected robustness of the carriers from 2D topological surface states. We find no evidence for a third spectral feature derived from topologically trivial surface states.

description: Parents are unique experts on their children and their developmental environment. This is especially the case of emergent bilingual children’s parents, who are promising untapped sources of knowledge and wisdom about their children’s language learning, social communication, and development. Emergent bilingual children from immigrant families are in the process of becoming bilinguals when taking the language assessment (Garcia, 2009). The immigrant parents co-construct their children’s bilingual and bicultural experiences. Social communication/interaction (SC/I) deficits are the main diagnostic criteria of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Parents’ perspectives on their children’s SC/I, including language skills, were rarely considered in the ASD evaluation. Informed by sociocultural theory (Vygotsky,1993), translanguaging (Garcia, 2009), and the middle-range theory (Merton, 1968), this research explores how immigrant parents describe their emergent bilingual children’s diagnosis of ASD. Data for the study were collected through semi-structured interviews and artifacts with 12 immigrant parents of 13 emergent bilingual children, documenting the nature and extent of immigrant children’s social communication and development, and interaction with the environment. Thematic and moment analysis (Wei, 2011) were used for data analysis. Results of the study revealed that, from the parents’ perspectives, the current ASD assessment tools and procedures marginalized emergent bilingual children. First, this study showed that the assessors in autism diagnosis often failed to recognize emergent bilingual children’s translanguaging practices and other social communication development features. Secondly, the cultural bias and expected SC/I development milestones in ASD assessment tools disadvantaged emergent bilingual children. Thirdly, the current ASD diagnosis often overlooks immigrant parent knowledge. The study suggested that immigrant parent knowledge could expand bilingual children’s SC/I evaluation. It hopes to inspire academics and communities to the interpretive paradigm (Vasilachis de Gialdino, 2009) on SC/I evaluation of emergent bilingual children in the ASD diagnostic process.

subject: pregnant women
subject: experience
subject: in-depth patient interviews

subject: Nursing
subject: FOS: Health sciences

description: Background: Preeclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy that requires holistic nursing care and management. Preeclampsia can lead to severe consequences for the mother and baby, including stroke, internal organ damage, eclampsia, preterm delivery, maternal death, and/or stillbirth. In Qatar, the 22% prevalence of stillbirths due to preeclampsia is more than double the global prevalence of 10%. Nurses and midwives play a crucial role in providing holistic care to support the mental and physical health of women diagnosed with early-onset preeclampsia and to prevent the life-threatening complications of preeclampsia. Women’s knowledge and holistic care needs once diagnosed with early-onset preeclampsia in Qatar have not been studied. Purpose: To explore the experiences of pregnant women diagnosed with early-onset preeclampsia before 34 weeks of pregnancy at the outpatient department of one of the largest tertiary hospitals in the Middle East. Methodology: A qualitative descriptive approach informed by constructionism was used in this study. Primary data sources include interviews with ten pregnant women. Data analyses were guided by thematic analysis. Lincoln and Guba’s criteria for qualitative studies were used to ensure the trustworthiness of the data. Findings: The six major themes include (a) responding to and coping with the disease; (b) support received; (c) knowledge about the disease; (d) concerns about the unborn baby; (e) women’s experience with signs and symptoms of preeclampsia; and (f) recommendations. Conclusion: The research underscores the importance of providing holistic nursing care to women with preeclampsia to prevent adverse outcomes for both mother and baby. By understanding the unique challenges faced by these women, healthcare providers can personalize their care, provide better support, and improve outcomes. Implementing interventions based on these findings can enhance the quality of care for pregnant women with early-onset preeclampsia in Qatar and elsewhere.

description: The masses of 40 neutron-rich nuclides from Z = 51 to 64 were measured at an average precision of $δm/m= 10^{-7}$ using the Canadian Penning Trap mass spectrometer at Argonne National Laboratory. The measurements, of fission fragments from a $^{252}$Cf spontaneous fission source in a helium gas catcher, approach the predicted path of the astrophysical $r$ process. Where overlap exists, this data set is largely consistent with previous measurements from Penning traps, storage rings, and reaction energetics, but large systematic deviations are apparent in $β$-endpoint measurements. Differences in mass excess from the 2003 Atomic Mass Evaluation of up to 400 keV are seen, as well as systematic disagreement with various mass models.

description: We present an efficient strongly linearizable implementation of the load-linked/store-conditional (LL/SC) primitive from compare-and-swap (CAS) objects. Our algorithm has constant step complexity, and uses a bounded number of CAS objects and registers that can each store O (log n) bits, where n is the number of processes. All previously known wait-free LL/SC algorithms are either not strongly linearizable, or use objects of unbounded size.
International human trafficking in Canada : why so few prosecutions?
Creators: name: Ferguson, John A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This study investigated the anomaly between the claims that international human trafficking is wide spread in Canada versus the paucity of international trafficking prosecutions that have been achieved in this country following almost a decade of anti-trafficking enforcement. It relied upon a research approach that was anchored by Pierre Bourdieu’s ‘field’ theory in order to unite the disparate issues that were examined in this project into a cohesive explanation for why there have been so few international human trafficking prosecutions in Canada. This thesis examines how moral reform and radical feminism have come to dominate the trafficking discourse and how that dominance has resulted in a general understanding of the crime where the victims are vulnerable foreign women and children trafficked for the sex trade. The study traces the interaction that has taken place between the international anti-trafficking social movement and the Canadian government in order to demonstrate the influence that this social construction of international trafficking has had upon the government’s anti-trafficking policy, law and enforcement strategies. Through an analysis of government documents, statistical enforcement results, study research interviews, and alternative explanations that have been offered to account for the lack of international trafficking prosecutions, this thesis establishes that the most plausible explanation for so few international trafficking prosecutions in Canada is that the international trafficking of foreign women and girls into Canada for prostitution is not as systemic in this country as many have claimed. The examination of the lone international trafficking prosecution reveals that the victim formation which underpins the understanding of international trafficking can appreciably affect prosecutions because it dismisses from consideration as victims those persons who exist beyond the parameters of the accepted international human trafficking victim indicia.
Faster Randomized Repeated Choice and DCAS

Year: 2024

description: At STOC 2021, Giakkoupis, Giv, and Woelfel, presented an efficient randomized implementation of Double Compare-And-Swap (DCAS) from Compare-And-Swap (CAS) objects. DCAS is a useful and fundamental synchronization primitive for shared memory systems, which, contrary to CAS, is not available in hardware. The DCAS algorithm has O(logn) expected amortized step complexity against an oblivious adversary, where nn is the number of processes in the system. The bottleneck of this algorithm is a building block, introduced in the same paper: A repeated choice (RC) object, which allows processes to propose values, and later agree on (and “lock in”) one of the proposed values, which is roughly uniformly distributed among the “recently” proposed ones. The object can then be unlocked, and the process be repeated. The RC implementation introduced by Giakkoupis et al. has step complexity O(logn). In this paper, we present a more efficient RC algorithm, with similar probabilistic guarantees, but expected step complexity O(loglogn). We then show how this improved RC object can be used to achieve an exponential improvement in the expected amortized step complexity of DCAS.
Leptogenesis in the two right-handed neutrino model revisited

description: We revisit leptogenesis in the minimal non-supersymmetric type I see-saw mechanism with two right-handed (RH) neutrinos, including flavour effects and allowing both RH neutrinos N_1 and N_2 to contribute, rather than just the lightest RH neutrino N_1 that has hitherto been considered. By performing scans over parameter space in terms of the single complex angle z of the orthogonal matrix R, for a range of PMNS parameters, we find that in regions around z \sim \pm π/2, for the case of a normal mass hierarchy, the N_2 contribution can dominate the contribution to leptogenesis, allowing the lightest RH neutrino mass to be decreased by about an order of magnitude in these regions, down to M_1 \sim 1.3*10^11 GeV for vanishing initial N_2-abundance, with the numerical results supported by analytic estimates. We show that the regions around z \sim \pm π/2 correspond to light sequential dominance, so the new results in this paper may be relevant to unified model building.

"Friendship, or Whatever it is": Understanding Nurse-Parent Relational Complexity in Pediatric Oncology Contexts

description: As a result of the complex nature of childhood cancer, involving intense treatments and extended hospital stays, it is not uncommon for nurses and parents to develop meaningful and close relationships. However, this closeness can lead to dilemmas about how to navigate professional boundaries, in both online and offline contexts. In this philosophical hermeneutic inquiry, my purpose was to understand what contributes to the relational complexity in nurse-parent relationships, from both parent and nurse perspectives. Six parents of children with cancer and six pediatric oncology nurses were interviewed to deepen understanding about the topic of relational complexity. Interpretive findings from this research revealed that nurse-parent relationships are both deeply intimate and involve strangeness; recognizes what might be beneath and behind disagreement in nurse-parent relationships and what openness might offer to understanding one another when conflict arises; that social media adds considerable complexity to nurse-parent relational boundaries and that there is a liminality in the spaces between nurse and friend and parent that requires more acknowledgement; and that it deeply matters that we find language that fits to describe closeness in nurse-parent relationships. I conclude by recognizing the significant influence that quality nurse-parent relationships has for both nurses and parents on their experiences of co-caring for children with cancer. In addition, I argue that care that is relationship-based, which focuses on care for the parents and also for nurses, might better respond to the demands and triumphs associated with caring for children with cancer.
Is an irng singly generated as an ideal?

description: Recall that a rng is a ring which is possibly non-unital. In this note, we address the problem whether every finitely generated idempotent rng (abbreviated as irng) is singly generated as an ideal. It is well-known that it is the case for a commutative irng. We prove here it is also the case for a free rng on finitely many idempotents and for a finite irng. A relation to the Wiegold problem for perfect groups is discussed.

Magnetic particle hyperthermia: Power losses under circularly polarized field in anisotropic nanoparticles

description: The deterministic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation has been used to investigate the nonlinear dynamics of magnetization and the specific loss power in magnetic nanoparticles with uniaxial anisotropy driven by a rotating magnetic field, generalizing the results obtained for the isotropic case found in [P. F. de Chatel, I. Nandori, J. Hakl, S. Meszaros and K. Vad, J. Phys.: Condens. Matter 21, 124202 (2009)]. As opposed to many applications of magnetization reversal in single-domain ferromagnetic particles where losses must be minimized, in this paper, we study the mechanisms of dissipation used in cancer therapy by hyperthermia which requires the enhancement of energy losses. We show that for circularly polarized field, the loss energy per cycle is decreased by the anisotropy compared to the isotropic case when only dynamical effects are taken into account. Thus, in this case, in the low frequency limit, a better heating efficiency can be achieved for isotropic nanoparticles. The possible role of thermal fluctuations is also discussed. Results obtained are compared to experimental data.

A Thematic Analysis of New Graduate Nurse Related Posts on TikTok

description: New graduate nurses (NGNs) are entering the nursing workforce with enthusiasm, vigour, and current evidenced based knowledge (Murray et al., 2019). Negative experiences within the first two years of practice can lead to NGN attrition (Chernomas et al., 2010; García‐Martín et al., 2021; Kim & Shin, 2020; Parker et al., 2014). Due to the popularity of social media, many NGNs are sharing their experiences in practice on the social networking platform, TikTok. Using Braun and Clarkes’ (2006, 2021a) reflexive thematic analysis, my study answered the research question, “How is the NGN experience of transition to practice portrayed on TikTok?” I generated three themes that depicted the transition to practice experience on TikTok: The NGN as an Individual, The NGN as a Clinical Nurse, and The NGN as a Professional. The results of my study demonstrated a gradual progression in the NGNs comfort within their new nursing scope. As NGNs entered practice, they were eager to begin their career, but many did not demonstrate an understanding regarding the complexities of the nursing profession. As a result, majority of the NGNs felt unprepared for practice. NGNs with RN preceptors had more positive experiences within their transition to practice as compared to those that did not. These findings have implications for future practice. NGNs should be prepared at the university level for the initial challenges of transition. Additionally, nurse managers should cultivate a supportive environment and use pairing processes for RN preceptors and NGNs to aid in their transition to clinical practice.
