description: A Manual for Program Leaders: A. PROGRAM CONTEXT 1. American Indians and their health in the United States a. Overview: American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) are heterogeneous groups of peoples whose ancestors were the original peoples of the Americas and who maintain tribal affiliation with one of the 569 federally recognized tribes or more than 300 state recognized tribes in the United States (Note 1). In all, this group represents more than 200 indigenous languages, with approximately 10% of AIAN households speaking a language other than English at home. Current estimates suggest that the AIAN population consists of 4.1 million people, approximately 1.5% of the U.S. population. While AIAN are often associated with reservations, land appropriated for tribes by the U.S. government, the majority live in cities and towns where indigenous peoples are the minority. Overall, AIAN are more likely to live in poverty (26% vs 13%), less likely to have a high school education (66% vs. 75% in 1990), and twice as likely to be unemployed than the average American citizen. b. Indian Health Service: Federally recognized tribes enjoy a government-to-government relationship with the United States. Through treaties, congressional laws (Synder Act of 1921, Indian Health Care Improvement Act of 1976), and court decisions the U.S. government agreed to provide health care for AIAN, a duty currently carried out through the Indian Health Service (IHS). A program under the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the IHS cares for 1.8 million AIAN and describes itself as the "principal Federal health care provider and health advocate for Indian people. However, the IHS is poorly under-funded; a review that compared the IHS to mainstream health plans, accounting for other forms of coverage and payments fund AIAN health care, revealed that the IHS expenditure of $1,385 per user was 52% of the $2687 it would take to provide benefits similar to what the average plan offers. For those moving off their respective reservations, problems of access to care mirror those seen in other minority populations. Currently, the IHS allocates less than 1% of its budget to providing urban AIAN health care, despite the fact that more than 50% of the AIAN population live in these settings, suggesting that the government's promise of health care is an absent one for many AIAN.

description: We investigate the flux compactification mechanism in simple toy models of Einstein-Born-Infeld theories. These are the direct generalizations of the Einstein-Maxwell flux compactifications that recently gained fame as a toy model for tunneling in the landscape. Our investigation reveals that the Born-Infeld form does not significantly modify the qualitative result of the Einstein-Maxwell theory. for the case of Einstein-Higgs theory, however, we found that the effect of Born-Infeld nonlinearity is to render all q>1 extradimensional compactification unstable against semiclassical tunneling to nothing.

description: Foreign language education in the Greek Tertiary Education is described as a long-lasting successful promotion of the values of the contemporary multilingual and multicultural reality. The integration of Turkish in the curriculum of specific university departments not only echoes European policies, approaching language instruction in a multilingual way but also recognizes the multilayered contact of Greece and Turkey. Celebrating this year its 20 years of contribution in the academic community, the Department of the Mediterranean Studies of the University of the Aegean is one of the first university departments that have included the instruction of Turkish in their curriculum. Nevertheless, there has been no systematic investigation of the way university students view the syllabus of the Turkish language and how they evaluate it. Within this frame, the specific paper looks into the viewpoints of the university students of the Faculty of the Mediterranean Studies, who have chosen Turkish as an obligatory language, at its crux. Their opinions, gathered with the aid of a questionnaire, have been treated as an evaluation tool of the teaching practices and methods followed during the instruction of Turkish and the way this instruction contributes to the promotion of students’ linguistic abilities. The statistical analysis of the data has led to useful conclusions.

Effectiveness and Side Effects of Oral Analgesics for Acute Pain in the Elderly
Creators: name: MacKuen, Courteney
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Pain is a common presenting complaint of patients seen in the emergency department (ED), accounting for up to 78% of visits. Inadequate pain control has been recognized by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) as a significant problem, and regulations have targeted improving the management of persistent pain as a priority for physicians. Patients 65 years and older are particularly vulnerable to persistent pain because pain has a greater impact on function in elderly adults and because elderly adults are more likely not to receive pain medication compared to non-elderly adults. The research component of this master’s paper is a study of the effectiveness and side effects of analgesics for the management of acute pain in patients 65 years and older seen in an emergency department. Eligible patients discharged from the ED following a pain-related visit were interviewed one week post-discharge to assess levels of pain and side effects from analgesics prescribed. No significant differences in persistent pain were seen between patients prescribed opioids and those prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), though the trend suggests that there is a higher level of persistent pain in those prescribed opioid analgesics independent of initial pain score, race, gender and level of education. Pain may be persistent in this group because one third of patients stopped taking the prescribed opioid medication despite continued pain. Of the patients who stopped taking their opioid medications, 40% stopped secondary to adverse side effects. A systematic review of the literature was conducted with the goal of comparing opioids and NSAIDs for management of acute pain. There is a paucity of literature comparing these analgesics in the short term management of pain. There is a need for further research in analgesic use for the management of short term pain in elderly adults in order to reduce the burden of persistent pain in this important, growing, and vulnerable population.

description: This study investigates whether a foreign language is only learned or truly acquired when speakers use the language in an immersive environment outside the target country. In order to approach the matter systematically, we based our preliminary assumptions on a specific group of students at the Department of German Language and Literature of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, since they are immersed in the language and could potentially acquire it at a bilingual level. By employing both quantitative and qualitative methods we reach the conclusion that the dominant emerging phenomena, transfer and equal morphosyntactic correctness, suggest that students indeed acquire the language and thus reach a bilingual level.

description: This study examines Greek learners’ awareness of English-Greek False Friends (FF), i.e. lexical items that display semantic differences despite bearing morpho-phonological resemblance. Exploring whether FF constitute a hindrance or a facilitating factor in EFL, the authors conducted a study with 63 Greek adult learners of English. Twenty-five pairs of words (excluding distractors) were employed in two written tasks to examine learners’ performance in correlation with their English language proficiency. Findings suggest that subjects faced significant difficulties in FF recognition, while they performed better in identifying FF etymologically related to their L1. Moreover, L2 competence did not prove to affect systematically respondents’ performance.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Research indicates males are less likely than females to seek health information online, even though males have traditionally been more active users of the internet. This analysis synthesized data from surveys dealing with online health information seeking and gender. Age and relationship status, two additional variables linked in the literature with health information, were also analyzed in relation to gender. Surveys were identified through searches of health, information, and social sciences data repositories. The most recent iterations of US surveys having 2,000 or more respondents released between January 2007 and May 2013 were considered. Measurement of individual and weighted mean effect sizes from the five selected surveys supported previous findings that males were less likely than females to seek health information online. Further, males and females between the ages of 19 and 44 and those identifying as married or in a domestic partnership were more likely to seek health information online than older individuals and individuals not in such relationships. Despite males' comparative reticence to seek health information online, both males and females were more likely to use the internet than any other resource to find this information, signaling that health communications professionals would be well served by increasing and improving messages and interventions spread through the online medium.

description: As a reaction to the compartmentalized way in which the foreign language and grammar in particular are usually treated in foreign language coursebooks and syllabi generally, I propose sensitizing English language teachers to unification possibilities, which would involve the joint treatment of apparently disparate phenomena on the basis of content, thus modifying instruction sequencing. My proposal is based on the perception of grammar as cognitively determined (Bielak Pawlak 2013; Langacker 2008) and, thus, semantically driven, dynamic (Larsen-Freeman 2003) and motivated (Calfoglou 2017) and makes use of the dynamics of ideational frameworks (Burgess 1994).

description: Emerging processor architectures such as GPUs and Intel MICs provide a huge performance potential for high performance computing. However developing software using these hardware accelerators introduces additional challenges for the developer such as exposing additional parallelism, dealing with different hardware designs and using multiple development frameworks in order to use devices from different vendors. The Dynamic Kernel Scheduler (DKS) is being developed in order to provide a software layer between host application and different hardware accelerators. DKS handles the communication between the host and device, schedules task execution, and provides a library of built-in algorithms. Algorithms available in the DKS library will be written in CUDA, OpenCL and OpenMP. Depending on the available hardware, the DKS can select the appropriate implementation of the algorithm. The first DKS version was created using CUDA for the Nvidia GPUs and OpenMP for Intel MIC. DKS was further integrated in OPAL (Object-oriented Parallel Accelerator Library) to speed up a parallel FFT based Poisson solver and Monte Carlo simulations for particle matter interaction used for proton therapy degrader modeling. DKS was also used together with Minuit2 for parameter fitting, where $χ^2$ and $max-log-likelihood$ functions were offloaded to the hardwareaccelerator. The concepts of the DKS, first results together with plans for the future will be shown in this paper.

Mandated Bioterrorism Management Plans For North Carolina's Federally Qualified Community Health Centers
Creators: name: Wooten, Maribeth T.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: This paper outlines a rationale for mandating Bioterrorism Management Plans (BMPs) for North Carolina's federally qualified Community Health Centers (CHCs), as part of their overall emergency preparedness plans. Federally qualified Community Health Centers (CHCs) play a vital role in the delivery of health care services in our country, impacting millions of underserved citizens annually. North Carolina's CHCs receive federal and state funding to serve these vulnerable members of our state. The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and subsequent anthrax exposures created a need for examination of current readiness plans of all health care providers nationwide, including CHCs as part of the overall public health system. Various resource organizations for CHCs have recommended inclusion of Bioterrorism Management Plans (BMPs) as part of overall emergency preparedness plans for CHCs. Funding sources for CHCs currently provide guidelines for delivery of primary and preventive health services by individual centers, consistent with the mission of the nation's CHC network. This paper suggests federal or state funding sources should mandate BMPs as part of overall readiness planning for CHCs, as part of fulfillment of the mission of the nation's CHC network, as defined by the Bureau of Primary Health Care and other advisory organizations for CHCs. Receipt of federal or state funds by CHCs should be contingent upon fulfilling this mandate.

description: The need to integrate Multiple Intelligences in learning experiences which respect each learner’s differentiated needs has led educators to seek novel instructional material using digital technologies. Abiding by this notion, a case study, which explored the enhancement of young EFL learners’ Multiple Intelligences, employed a parallel syllabus designed around five electronic storybooks. The data collected via pre- and post-intervention learner questionnaires as well as a teacher’s log and learners’ diaries attest to the contribution of the specific teaching tools to the stimulation of the target group’s MIs, amelioration of formerly untrained skills and enhanced metacognition.

description: Vascular endothelial cells are a multifunctional cell type with organotypic specificity in their function and structure. In this review, we discuss various subpopulations of endothelial cells in the mammalian heart, which spatiotemporally regulate critical cellular and molecular processes of heart development via unique sets of angiocrine signaling pathways. In particular, elucidation of intercellular communication among the functional cell types in the developing heart has recently been accelerated by the use of single-cell sequencing. Specifically, we overview the heterogeneic nature of cardiac endothelial cells and their contribution to heart tube and chamber formation, myocardial trabeculation and compaction, and endocardial cushion and valve formation via angiocrine pathways.
Toward verification of electroweak baryogenesis by electric dipole moments

description: We study general aspects of the CP-violating effects on the baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) and electric dipole moments (EDMs) in models extended by an extra Higgs doublet and a singlet, together with electroweak-interacting fermions. In particular, the emphasis is on the structure of the CP-violating interactions and dependences of the BAU and EDMs on masses of the relevant particles. In a concrete mode, we investigate a relationship between the BAU and the electron EDM for a typical parameter set. As long as the BAU-related CP violation predominantly exists, the electron EDM has a strong power in probing electroweak baryogenesis. However, once a BAU-unrelated CP violation comes into play, the direct correlation between the BAU and electron EDM can be lost. Even in such a case, we point out that verifiability of the scenario still remains with the help of Higgs physics.

description: This study deals with the attitudinal functions ‘difficulty’ and ‘reluctance/inability’ that, according to Sinclair (2004), are mapped onto word sequences containing the phrases naked eye and true feelings, respectively. The methods build on Snefjella Kuperman (2016) who proposed context norms for English words calculated on ratings of valence, arousal, and concreteness. 149 concordances for naked eye from the British National Corpus (BNC) and 2607 concordances for true feelings from the English Web Corpus (enTenTen15) were considered. Using the software R as a text-mining tool, values of context valence, arousal, and concreteness were computed. The binary logistic method was applied on deviant subclasses (stages). The results show that a categorical switch of attitudinal function occurs in true feelings alone, and only regarding context valence and concreteness.

description: I prove that if $\emptyset \neq K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ is a compact $s$-Ahlfors-David regular set with $s \geq 1$, then $$\dim_{\mathrm{p}} D(K) = 1,$$ where $D(K) := \{|x - y| : x,y \in K\}$ is the distance set of $K$, and $\dim_{\mathrm{p}}$ stands for packing dimension. The same proof strategy applies to other problems of similar nature. For instance, one can show that if $\emptyset \neq K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ is a compact $s$-Ahlfors-David regular set with $s \geq 1$, then there exists a point $x_{0} \in K$ such that $\dim_{\mathrm{p}} K \cdot (K - x_{0}) = 1$. Specialising to product sets, one derives the following sum-product corollary: if $A \subset \mathbb{R}$ is a non-empty compact $s$-Ahlfors-David regular set with $s \geq 1/2$, then $$\dim_{\mathrm{p}} [A(A - a_{1}) + A(A - a_{1})] = 1$$ for some $a_{1},a_{2} \in A$. In particular, $\dim_{\mathrm{p}} [AA + AA - AA - AA] = 1$. In all of the results mentioned above, compactness can be relaxed to boundedness and $\mathcal{H}^{s}$-measurability, if packing dimension is replaced by upper box dimension.

description: The intrinsic volumes of a convex body are fundamental invariants that capture information about the average volume of the projection of the convex body onto a random subspace of fixed dimension. The intrinsic volumes also play a central role in integral geometry formulas that describe how moving convex bodies interact. Recent work has demonstrated that the sequence of intrinsic volumes concentrates sharply around its centroid, which is called the central intrinsic volume. The purpose of this paper is to derive finer concentration inequalities for the intrinsic volumes and related sequences. These concentration results have striking implications for high-dimensional integral geometry. In particular, they uncover new phase transitions in formulas for random projections, rotation means, random slicing, and the kinematic formula. In each case, the location of the phase transition is determined by reducing each convex body to a single summary parameter.
Effects of type of bilingualism on the acquisition of Greek and German voiced stops

Subjects: bilingualism, VOT, voiced stops, Greek-German, simultaneous, sequential

description: Age of onset of bilingualism (AoO) has been reported to predict the mastery and interdependence of the bilingual phonetic systems. This study measured the VOT duration of Greek and German voiced stops produced by monolingual and bilingual children. All participants were children between 8-12 years old. Our findings revealed bidirectional interference in simultaneous and early sequential bilingual data (AoO: 3 to 4 y.o.). Simultaneous bilinguals had distinct categories for voiced stops while sequential bilinguals showed stronger interference from Greek and a merged velar category. Our results suggest AoO and place of articulation effects on bilingual acquisition of voiced stops.

Establishing the Child Health Accountable Care Collaborative: An Analysis of the Implementation of a Statewide Pediatric Public Health Program
Creators: name: Bagley, Kiri
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: Introduction: The Child Health Accountable Care Collaborative (CHACC), funded by a CMS Innovations grant, aims to improve care for children with complex medical conditions. This paper explores CHACC’s implementation. Background Significance: Fragmentation of the U.S. health care system diminishes efficiency, resulting in potential reductions in quality and affecting cost of health care. This directly influences the value (quality/cost = value) of health care. Families and home caregivers for children with complex medical conditions often report disjointed health care, financial difficulties in part associated with missed work and lost wages, and substantial time spent coordinating medical care themselves. Lapses in care coordination for these children may contribute to higher health care expenditures. CHACC provides specialty care coordination services intending to improve comprehensive care through enhanced communication among those participating in the care of children with complex medical conditions. Methods: I conducted 10 in-depth interviews with key elite stakeholders and CHACC staff members to explore critical components of implementing CHACC. I transcribed each interview verbatim and coded the transcripts to identify emerging themes. Findings: The Community Care of North Carolina program, within which CHACC is embedded, provides an indispensable infrastructure, though also presents challenges for CHACC’s implementation. Staff members have defined an innovative role as specialty care coordinators and patient navigators who intend to improve communication between health care professionals involved with the child’s care. Staff members must assess and integrate into current care management structures. CHACC staff members must pay considerable attention to improving communication among care providers. Identifying patients to enroll in CHACC is an ongoing challenge because the program must determine which children with complex medical conditions would benefit most from enrollment in the program. CHACC leaders, therefore, hope to develop a predictive model to facilitate enrollment decisions; in that model’s absence, however, CHACC staff members must dedicate substantial time to locating patients to enroll. Discussion: CHACC is an innovative strategy to improve health care coordination through embedding care managers and patient coordinators, who work to improve communication among health care teams, within specialty clinics and hospitals. Dissemination of CHACC’s strategy and methods may lead to higher value medical care for children with complex illnesses. A reproducible method to identify patients who will benefit from enrollment in the CHACC program is needed.
Positive emotions and self-regulation strategies in EFL classroom situations
Creators: name: Kantaridou, Zoe

Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2023
Subjects: positive emotions, self-regulation strategies, emotional intelligence, emotional scaffolding

description: This paper investigates emotions and emotion-regulation strategies when students deal with three classroom scenarios: having one-to-one tutorials, working in groups, and grammar rule repetition. One hundred and six Greek university students participated in the study. The instrument used is a scenario-based questionnaire, which incorporates elements of both quantitative and qualitative methods. Data analysis indicated that, despite the positive emotions students express in such scenarios, they have not experienced such situations as much as they would wish to in their classrooms. Results are discussed in relation to frequency and quality of the emotions and the implications these may have for language teachers employed in EFL classroom settings.

Marrying Frame Semantics with Task-Based Language Teaching
Creators: name: Dalpanagioti, Thomai
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2023
Subjects: Frame Semantics, Task-Based Language Teaching, MetaNet, metaphor, lesson planning

description: This paper is motivated by the observation that the pedagogical potential of Frame Semantics has not yet been fully explored, although the benefits of Cognitive Linguistics-inspired approaches to language teaching are widely recognized. In an attempt to narrow the gap between frame semantic theory and teaching practice, we consider the points of contact between Frame Semantics and Task-Based Language Teaching. We outline an integrated teaching approach that maximizes contextualization and promotes the conceptual and contextual grouping of lexico-grammatical items. The proposed approach is illustrated through a teaching unit, which can serve as a model for generating frame-based teaching materials.

description: We consider a compact abelian Higgs model in 3+1 dimensions with a topological axion term and construct its dual theories for both bulk and boundary at strong coupling. The model may be viewed as describing a superconductor with magnetic monopoles, which can also be interpreted as a field theory of a topological Mott insulator. We show that this model is dual to a non-compact topological field theory of particles and vortices. It has exactly the same form of a model for superconducting cosmic strings with an axion term. We consider the duality of the boundary field theory at strong coupling and show that in this case $θ$ is quantized as $-8πn/m$ where $n$ and $m$ are the quantum numbers associated to electric and magnetic charges. These topological states lack a non-interacting equivalent.

Investigating clitics in adult L2 Greek
Creators: name: Danavassi, Terpsi
name: Agathopoulou, Eleni
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2023
Subjects: feature interpretability, L2 Greek adults, pronominal clitics, gender agreement

description: We investigated the role of uninterpretable features (Chomsky 1995) in L2 Greek clitics. Oral production data were obtained from 65 adults who were divided into three L1 groups, Albanian, English and Georgian. The L1s under investigation differ from each other and Greek both in terms of grammaticalising clitics and morphologically marking agreement with the clitic referent. Results indicate L1 as well as developmental effects in the production of 3rd person accusative object clitics, yet not in the production of either 1st-2nd accusative object clitics or genitive possessive clitics. Despite the high performance of all groups at clitic agreement, problems with gender agreement persist. L2 learners seem to be aided by interpretable features to which access is still granted via UG. These findings seem to lend support to the IH.

Determinants of Access to Care and Subsequent Emergency Department Use: The Experience of Latino Participants in Durham County's LATCH Program
Creators: name: Zimmerman, Kanecia Obie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: Introduction: The health care sector has become the focal point of health and is increasingly viewed as the necessary factor for decreased morbidity and mortality. As several studies have linked increases in health care costs to poor access to ambulatory care and subsequent utilization of the Emergency Department (ED), programs have been implemented to increase access to ambulatory care and reduce inappropriate utilization of the ED. Despite the existence of these programs, it is unclear from existing literature what factors determine access to ambulatory care and subsequent utilization of the ED, particularly for Latino persons with low levels of ambulatory care access and poorer health outcomes when compared to non-Latino whites. In this report, we evaluate factors associated with access to ambulatory care for Latino participants of Durham Count's LATCH program and determine whether access to care is associated with utilization of the ED. Methods: We collected connnunity-based data from 448 participants in the LATCH program. We evaluated the individual associations between patient characteristics (age, gender, duration lived in the U.S., birthplace, language concordance with a health care provider, satisfaction with health care, existence of a usual source of care, perceived racial discrimination, self-rated health status, insurance status, and care management status) and access to ambulatory health care. We then evaluated these patient characteristics in relation to utilization of the ED. Analyses were performed for a subgroup of participants with at least one ambulatory sensitive condition (asthma, diabetes, hypertension) and for participants without a condition. Results: For participants without an ambulatory sensitive condition, care management and language discordance with a health care provider were significantly associated with access to ambulatory care. For those with a condition, self-rated health status and insurance status were significantly associated with access to health care. For those without an ambulatory sensitive condition, self-rated health status was significantly associated with use of the ED. No factors were significantly associated with use of the ED among those with an ambulatory sensitive condition. Conclusions: In both persons with ambulatory sensitive conditions and those without, the factors that mediate access to ambulatory care do not appear to be similar to those that mediate visits to the emergency department. A larger study is needed to clarify these important questions.
