ystematic Review: Influenza Infections/Vaccinations and the Risk of Developing Alzheimer’s Disease
Creators: name: Ko, Jung Hyun
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Background:Since Glenner and Wong’s amyloid hypothesis, in which accumulations of amyloid proteins cause Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), was first proposed in 1984, the questions about why amyloid proteins accumulate in the first place remain. One hypothesis, known as the infection/infectious hypothesis, postulates that bacterial, viral, or fungal infections in the brain cause chronic inflammation which results in accumulation of amyloid proteins. Although the association between HSV-1 and AD has been extensively studied, evidence of association between AD and other pathogens remains inconclusive. The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize the literature examining the association between influenza virus/vaccine and AD. Methods:The authors searched four databases (PUBMED, PsycINFO, EMBASE, and EBSCO) to find articles that examined association between influenza virus/vaccine and AD. Two reviewers examined each article for its adherence to pre-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the third reviewer settled any ties. The quality of included studies was assessed using guidelines developed by The Duke Evidence-based Practice Center, based on guidance from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).Results:Three studies met full eligibility criteria; none showed a statistically significant association between influenza infection/vaccine and the risk of AD. Studies assessed heterogeneous exposures. One (N=3865) showed a non-statistically significant reduction in AD risk in subjects who received influenza vaccine. The second (N=19463) did not show any association between previous influenza infection and the risk of AD. The third found no association between in utero influenza exposure and the risk of AD.Conclusions:The three included studies did not find any association between influenza infection/vaccine and the risk of AD. However, studies were heterogeneous in terms of population, exposure and outcome measurements, which limits the ability to make a conclusion. There remains a lack of large robust studies that study this association. Therefore, future studies that examine this relationship should include prospective design with large cohorts and use exposure and outcome measurements that minimize bias.

description: Manga (Japanese comics) are popular worldwide. However, current e-manga archives offer very limited search support, including keyword-based search by title or author, or tag-based categorization. To make the manga search experience more intuitive, efficient, and enjoyable, we propose a content-based manga retrieval system. First, we propose a manga-specific image-describing framework. It consists of efficient margin labeling, edge orientation histogram feature description, and approximate nearest-neighbor search using product quantization. Second, we propose a sketch-based interface as a natural way to interact with manga content. The interface provides sketch-based querying, relevance feedback, and query retouch. For evaluation, we built a novel dataset of manga images, Manga109, which consists of 109 comic books of 21,142 pages drawn by professional manga artists. To the best of our knowledge, Manga109 is currently the biggest dataset of manga images available for research. We conducted a comparative study, a localization evaluation, and a large-scale qualitative study. From the experiments, we verified that: (1) the retrieval accuracy of the proposed method is higher than those of previous methods; (2) the proposed method can localize an object instance with reasonable runtime and accuracy; and (3) sketch querying is useful for manga search.

Emergency Care Triage Scales in Developing Countries: A Protocol for a Systematic Review of Outcomes, Evidence and Quality
Creators: name: Myers, Justin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Emergency Department triage scales can play a key role in the development of emergency care capacity for developing countries. Numerous studies exist on the reliability and validity of these systems in High Income Countries. However, little is known about the efficacy of these systems in developing countries. This systematic review protocol aims to prepare a team of international experts to investigate published literature on triage system implementation outcomes in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). A systematic search will be completed from published literature, without language or date restrictions, in the following databases: EMBASE, Web of Science, Pubmed, Scopus, CINAHL, and Global Health. The search strategy for all databases include these terms: (Emergency) AND (triage). Other search terms were included, as well as a novel search string to limit to LMICs. A-priori roles, definitions, timeline and strategies are explicitly stated for this systematic review. Study protocol will be submitted to PROSPERO and the University of North Carolina Institutional Review Board. Data Abstraction forms and Quality of Evidence tables will be piloted on preliminary included studies. Study team members will review protocol for completeness. Initial search using the specified PICOTTS criteria revealed 3150 abstracts for review. Consensus from two independent reviewers will reveal full text articles to assess for eligibility. After final editing by review team, submission to PROSPERO, and approval by UNC IRB, this systematic review will resume with review of full text articles for eligibility.

description: Multiple parasites and pathogens cause disease in aquatic wildlife and in aquaculture species, generating a need for monitoring and management. Conventional disease monitoring methods involve laborious, costly, and invasive capture and examination of host species, and require specialized expertise for every host and pathogen of interest. Environmental DNA could provide simultaneous occurrence data for multiple pathogens across different host taxa, valuable for using parasite diversity as, for example, a bioindicator of ecosystem disturbance. Here, we tested the potential for simultaneous detection of four wildlife pathogens in water samples from 280, mainly riverine, sites across Switzerland. We targeted the crayfish pathogen, the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, and the fish pathogens Saprolegnia parasitica and Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae. The eDNA detection showed a widespread distribution of A. astaciS. parasitica T. bryosalmonae A. astaci and T. bryosalmonae were not detected in some alpine river catchments. B. dendrobatidis was detected only rarely, which was expected since the sampling did not target amphibian breeding sites. Co‐detection rates were higher in rivers than in lakes, likely reflecting the habitat preferences and distributions of the host species. We discuss the advantages and limitations of eDNA‐based pathogen monitoring and list a set of recommendations for managers. Our study illustrates how eDNA‐based techniques can monitor several pathogen species concurrently, thus facilitating more comprehensive disease monitoring schemes. Combined with metabarcoding approaches in the future, eDNA‐based sampling and detection can facilitate the incorporation of parasite and pathogen occurrence and diversity as an indicator for aquatic ecosystem health, and for revealing the hidden biodiversity and structure of parasite communities.

description: We investigate the superconducting phase diagram and boundary modes for a quasi-1D system formed by three Fe-Chains on an s-wave superconductor, motivated by the recent Princeton experiment. The $\vec l\cdot\vec s$ onsite spin-orbit term, inter-chain diagonal hopping couplings, and magnetic disorders in the Fe-chains are shown to be crucial for the superconducting phases, which can be topologically trivial or nontrivial in different parameter regimes. For the topological regime a single Majorana and multiple Andreew bound modes are obtained in the ends of the chain, while for the trivial phase only low-energy Andreev bound states survive. Nontrivial symmetry reduction mechanism induced by the $\vec l\cdot\vec s$ term, diagonal hopping couplings, and magnetic disorder is uncovered to interpret the present results. Our study also implies that the zero-bias peak observed in the recent experiment may or may not reflect the Majorana zero modes in the end of the Fe-chains.

What Has the Literature Taught Us About Cultural Competency Training for Providers? A systematic review and research proposal
Creators: name: Huang, William W.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Racial and ethnic disparities in patient health outcomes have been recognized in the United States for over 30 years as minorities continue to account for a disproportionate burden of the morbidity and mortality of many disease states and continue to utilize less preventive care, necessary health care services, and advanced medical procedures than Whites. Most public health studies on the issue of health care disparities focus on patient level and structural level factors, but as the United States' population becomes increasingly diverse, health care professionals are becoming progressively more responsible for the health care management of people from various races, ethnicities, languages and cultures. Despite the interest and attention on cultural competency as a method to reduce health disparities and increased funding for initiatives and programs, the effectiveness of cultural competency training for providers remains relatively unsubstantiated by the literature. Methodological problems and lack of standardization in interventions and outcome measurements make conclusions difficult to draw. In implementing cultural competency training programs, we have already made a rather large assumption that cultural competence can be learned. However, we do not know the potential for such a brief intervention to affect the practice habits of physicians and whether or not this will be a long lasting effect. This research protocol attempts to answer the question of the ability of cultural competency training delivered in a single session, consistent with current practices, to change provider practices and reduce health differentials. Specifically, we ask does cultural competency training for primary care providers influence glucose control (as measured by Hgb Al C) in African American patients with Type II diabetes? Future studies may wish to look at the effectiveness and cost of multiple interventions, and we need more methodologically sound studies that also examine the association between culturally competent providers and the elimination of health disparities for other patient populations and disease states.

description: We propose an approach to enhance the mechanical effects of single photons in a two-mode optomechanical system. This is achieved by introducing a resonance-frequency modulation to the cavity fields. When the modulation frequency and amplitude satisfy certain conditions, the mechanical displacement induced by single photons could be larger than the quantum zero-point fluctuation of the oscillating resonator. This method can be used to create distinct mechanical superposition states.

description: This thesis is dedicated to string processing algorithms and to combinatorics on words. With respect to the former, we devise Lempel-Ziv (LZ) factorization and sparse suffix sorting algorithms. With respect to the latter, we search for all distinct squares, all maximal α-gapped repeats, and all maximal α-gapped palindromes. The topics of the presented approaches are related: for instance, our results for the LZ factorization have applications for finding all distinct squares, whereas our sparse suffix sorting algorithm profits from finding gapped repeats. The results can contribute to tools for data compression, for text indexing, and for the analysis of biological sequences.
Are there Enough Doctors in My Community? People's Perception of Local Physician Supply.
Creators: name: Biola, Holly
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: Purpose. To assess how closely people's perception of local physician supply relates to physician-to-population ratio, and identify what other factors are associated with this perception. Method. Adults (n=4,879) from 150 Southern rural counties completed telephone surveys November 2002-July 2003. Response to a question about perception of adequacy of local physician supply was analyzed with bivariate and multivariate methods assessing strength of association between this perception and actual physician-to-population ratio, individual characteristics, county characteristics, and perceptions about and experience with health care. Results. Respondents more likely to feel there were enough physicians in their area include those who were less likely to state: doctors should be used as a last resort (OR 2.0,p < .001 ), their travel time to care was less than 30 minutes (OR 1.52,p <.001), cost of care was not a problem for them (OR 1.45,p <.001), they were satisfied with the care they had received (OR 1.67,p=.023) and confident in the skills of their physician (OR 1.39, p=.006). Respondents in areas with higher physician-to-population ratios, who were over 65, White, male, and in good health were also more likely agree there were enough local doctors. In our model most variance in opinion about physician supply was explained by perceptions and experience variables, followed by individual characteristic variables, physician-to-population ratio, and county-level variables. Conclusions. People with positive perceptions about and experiences with health care are more likely to perceive that there are not enough physicians in their community. This perception was more strongly associated with perception of adequacy of physician supply than other variables, including physician-to-population ratio.

description: During mechanical ventilation, patient-ventilator disharmony is frequently observed and may result in increased breathing effort, compromising the patient's comfort and recovery. This circumstance requires clinical intervention and becomes challenging when verbal communication is difficult. In this work, we propose a brain computer interface (BCI) to automatically and non-invasively detect patient-ventilator disharmony from electroencephalographic (EEG) signals: a brain-ventilator interface (BVI). Our framework exploits the cortical activation provoked by the inspiratory compensation when the subject and the ventilator are desynchronized. Use of a one-class approach and Riemannian geometry of EEG covariance matrices allows effective classification of respiratory states. The BVI is validated on nine healthy subjects that performed different respiratory tasks that mimic a patient-ventilator disharmony. Classification performances, in terms of areas under ROC curves, are significantly improved using EEG signals compared to detection based on air flow. Reduction in the number of electrodes that can achieve discrimination can often be desirable (e.g. for portable BCI systems). By using an iterative channel selection technique, the Common Highest Order Ranking (CHOrRa), we find that a reduced set of electrodes (n=6) can slightly improve for an intra-subject configuration, and it still provides fairly good performances for a general inter-subject setting. Results support the discriminant capacity of our approach to identify anomalous respiratory states, by learning from a training set containing only normal respiratory epochs. The proposed framework opens the door to brain-ventilator interfaces for monitoring patient's breathing comfort and adapting ventilator parameters to patient respiratory needs.

Mental Health Issues Experienced by Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers - Recommendations for Expanded Intervention in North Carolina
Creators: name: Kiser, Emily
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Migrant and seasonal farmworkers in the United States experience a number of health issues at higher prevalence rates than the general population. Among these are mental health issues such as stress, depression, and anxiety. Factors at varying levels of the social-ecological model contribute to these mental health issues including individual, interpersonal, and structural level factors. This paper reviews the health issues faced by migrant and seasonal farmworkers; investigates contributing factors to the high prevalence rates of stress, anxiety, and depression experienced by this population; examines current efforts in North Carolina to improve the mental health of farmworkers; and recommends expansions in programming to reduce the prevalence rates of stress, anxiety, and depression in the farmworker population. There is abundant evidence in the literature establishing the need for mental health services for farmworkers. However, there is little to no literature on past or current interventions and evaluation of these interventions. The Student Action with Farmworkers' (SAF) Into the Fields theater outreach program provides an excellent example of a small, yet seemingly successful, program which could be replicated and disseminated throughout the state of North Carolina. Although only limited scientific evaluation of the program has been conducted thus far, preliminary data gathered and presented by SAF is promising. The North Carolina Farmworker Health Program, coordinated by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Rural Health and Community Care, oversees an existing network of 11 contract sites serving farmworkers in 50 North Carolina counties. This network appears to be an excellent potential mechanism for further disseminating and evaluating SAF's theater outreach program. This paper examines and discusses challenges and potential solutions to the recommended program expansion.

description: Karen Barads Konzept einer semiotisch-materiellen Intra-Aktion scheint mit Fragen nach Bedeutungsbildung in filmischer Repräsentation nur schwer vereinbar. Für Barad selbst privilegiert ein Fokus auf Mediatisierung entkörperte Zeichensysteme. Sie argumentiert dafür, die Produktion von Bedeutung stattdessen als Produkt der Verschränkung menschlicher und nicht-menschlicher Agentialität zu verstehen. Die einzelnen in Dynamiken der Bedeutungsbildung verwickelten Komponenten, so ihre These, entstehen erst im Prozess ihres Aufeinandertreffens. Barad nennt diesen Prozess den „agentiellen Schnitt”. Im Beitrag wird Barad bewusst gegen den Strich gelesen und die Denkfigur des agentiellen Schnitts für eine semiotische Analyse filmischer Repräsentation im Exploitationkino genutzt. Am Beispiel des exzessiven Tons in Herschell Gordon Lewis’ „She-Devils on Wheels” (1968) wird gezeigt, dass gerade materiell-viszerale Komponenten wesentlich dazu beitragen, wie der Film (feministisches) Empowerment repräsentiert.

description: Powering cellular networks with renewable energy sources via energy harvesting (EH) has recently been proposed as a promising solution for green networking. However, with intermittent and random energy arrivals, it is challenging to provide satisfactory quality of service (QoS) in EH networks. To enjoy the greenness brought by EH while overcoming the instability of the renewable energy sources, hybrid energy supply (HES) networks that are powered by both EH and the electric grid have emerged as a new paradigm for green communications. In this paper, we will propose new design methodologies for HES green cellular networks with the help of Lyapunov optimization techniques. The network service cost, which addresses both the grid energy consumption and achievable QoS, is adopted as the performance metric, and it is optimized via base station assignment and power control (BAPC). Our main contribution is a low-complexity online algorithm to minimize the long-term average network service cost, namely, the Lyapunov optimization-based BAPC (LBAPC) algorithm. One main advantage of this algorithm is that the decisions depend only on the instantaneous side information without requiring distribution information of channels and EH processes. To determine the network operation, we only need to solve a deterministic per-time slot problem, for which an efficient inner-outer optimization algorithm is proposed. Moreover, the proposed algorithm is shown to be asymptotically optimal via rigorous analysis. Finally, sample simulation results are presented to verify the theoretical analysis as well as validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Integrated Disability Management in Occupational Health: Developing a Model Program
Creators: name: Yacobozzi, Shelly
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: The concept of integrated disability management is an extension of traditional occupational health case management programs that focus solely on management of acute occupational injuries and illnesses. Integrated disability management extends case management to all types of employee absences - short-term disability, sporadic absence, and long-term disability to minimize worker morbidity resulting in healthier, more productive employees, and benefit plan cost savings to employers. A comprehensive program encompasses chronic disease management and prevention through health promotion programming. The purpose of this paper is to develop a model for implementing an integrated disability management program using common themes of successful programs and data from a mid-sized corporation.

description: We present a new class of ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric quiver matrix models and argue that it describes the stringy low-energy dynamics of internally wrapped D-branes in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) flux compactifications. The Lagrangians of these models differ from previously studied quiver matrix models by the presence of mass terms, associated with the AdS gravitational potential, as well as additional terms dictated by supersymmetry. These give rise to dynamical phenomena typically associated with the presence of fluxes, such as fuzzy membranes, internal cyclotron motion and the appearance of confining strings. We also show how these models can be obtained by dimensional reduction of four-dimensional supersymmetric quiver gauge theories on a three-sphere.

description: Problématique : la prise en charge tardive des personnes souffrant d’un syndrome de Diogène mène à de nombreux problèmes de santé. La prise en soins de cette patientèle reste difficile par manque de clarté et de compréhension de ce trouble. La détection est retardée et compliquée en raison de la honte que ressentent les personnes concernées et de leur refus d'accepter toute intervention extérieure, ce qui conduit à une absence de demande. Objectif : l’objectif de cette revue est d’identifier la prise en soins infirmière adéquate dans la détection d’une personne souffrant d’un syndrome de Diogène. Méthode : les critères d’inclusion sont les personnes présentant des signes d’accumulation pathologique. Différentes bases de données ont été consultées : CINHAL, PubMed et APA PsycInfo. Six articles ont été analysés à l’aide de la théorie d’Orem. Résultats : l’efficacité de différentes thérapies comprenant la thérapie cognitivo-comportementale de groupe à court terme ainsi que la thérapie axée sur la compassion a été mise en évidence. Les vécus traumatiques ainsi qu’un parcours difficile dans l’enfance semblent jouer un rôle important dans le développement du trouble. Les résultats ont également mis en lumière une relation complexe des personnes avec les possessions. Discussion : le syndrome de Diogène est un trouble encore mal défini qui questionne et requiert davantage de recherche quant à son étiologie et son fonctionnement. La littérature existante est malheureusement insuffisante et laisse des lacunes dans nos connaissances actuelles. La limite principale de notre travail était la petite taille d’échantillon de nos différents articles. La théorie d’Orem et son modèle de l’auto-soin a été proposée comme cadre théorique dans ce travail, dans le but de mettre en avant sa plus-value dans l’autonomisation d’une personne atteinte de thésaurisation.
