description: We propose a new framework for determining the wiretap code rates of single-input single-output multi-antenna eavesdropper (SISOME) wiretap channels when the capacity of the eavesdropper's channel is not available at the transmitter. In our framework we introduce the effective secrecy throughput (EST) as a new performance metric that explicitly captures the two key features of wiretap channels, namely, reliability and secrecy. Notably, the EST measures the average rate of the confidential information transmitted from the transmitter to the intended receiver without being eavesdropped on. We provide easy-to-implement methods to determine the wiretap code rates for two transmission schemes: 1) adaptive transmission scheme in which the capacity of the main channel is available at the transmitter and 2) fixed-rate transmission scheme in which the capacity of the main channel is not available at the transmitter. Such determinations are further extended into an absolute-passive eavesdropping scenario where even the average signal-to-noise ratio of the eavesdropper's channel is not available at the transmitter. Notably, our solutions for the wiretap code rates do not require us to set reliability or secrecy constraints for the transmission within wiretap channels.

Transition to Adult Health Care for Adolescents with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Creators: name: Champion, Beth Anne
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: Transition service planning has become a crucial health care service need. Technological and medical advances over the past century resulted in markedly prolonged survival for these children; an estimated 90% of children with special health care needs (CSHCN) now survive into adulthood. This increase in life expectancy has translated into a 100% increase in the number of children and adolescents with special health care needs (ASHCN or CSHCN) in the past four decades. Consequently, experts and policymakers have underscored the need for developing transition service models to improve health and quality of life for this population. The term transition encompasses the transfer of medical and ancillary services from pediatric to adult care, self-advocacy and independence, vocational or educational changes, and alterations in interpersonal relationships. Discussion of issues surrounding transition to adult care for ASHCN has become increasingly prevalent in the literature over the past two decades. However, critical appraisal of the transition literature reveals a paucity of disease-specific guidelines, validated measurements, adequate research controls, and patient centered outcomes. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic condition in children. One third of children continue to have active inflammatory disease well into their adult years and nearly 60% of patients experience persistence of some type of limitations in their activities of daily living. Considering the very real possibility of continued symptoms and impaired function for these patients, investigation into their transitional care is warranted. A critical appraisal of existing literature on transition for adolescents with rheumatic and other diseases is undertaken and the design of a study investigating the transitional needs and that proposes service recommendations is presented.

Different political party, different political concerns? A study on metaphor use in Greek parliamentary debates
Creators: name: Felekidou, Despoina
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2023
Subjects: metaphor, corpus-assisted analysis; political discourse analysis; parliamentary debates; Greece

description: The article explores metaphor employment in Greek parliamentary discourse, and draws a link between metaphor and politicians’ ideology. Embracing Conceptual Metaphor Theory and adopting a corpus-assisted discourse analysis approach, metaphors which were used by the representatives of SYRIZA, ND, GD, DISI and KKE are put under the spotlight. Metaphor use reveals the MPs’ concerns, and since they prioritize different topics in their agendas, metaphor employment is thought to be related to their ideology. Additionally, it is suggested that metaphor-driven political discourse analysis should not be limited to the individuals’ political affiliation – politicians’ general background should be taken into consideration.

A Runaway Red Supergiant in M31

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A significant percentage of OB stars are runaways, so we should expect a similar percentage of their evolved descendants to also be runaways. However, recognizing such stars presents its own set of challenges, as these older, more evolved stars will have drifted further from their birthplace, and thus their velocities might not be obviously peculiar. Several Galactic red supergiants (RSGs) have been described as likely runaways, based upon the existence of bow shocks, including Betelgeuse. Here we announce the discovery of a runaway RSG in M31, based upon a 300 km s$^{-1}$ discrepancy with M31's kinematics. The star is found about 21' (4.6 kpc) from the plane of the disk, but this separation is consistent with its velocity and likely age ($\sim$10 Myr). The star, J004330.06+405258.4, is an M2 I, with $M_V=-5.7$, $\log L/L_\odot$=4.76, an effective temperature of 3700 K, and an inferred mass of 12-15$M_\odot$. The star may be a high-mass analog of the hypervelocity stars, given that its peculiar space velocity is probably 400-450 km s$^{-1}$, comparable to the escape speed from M31's disk.

Cue reliance during the categorization of English vowels by Russian speakers
Creators: name: Georgiou, Georgios P.
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2023
Subjects: categorization, cue reliance, Russian speakers, English vowels, speech perception

description: The present study aims to investigate the cue reliance of Russian learners of English during the categorization of L2 sounds into their L1 phonological system through an experimental analysis. The findings showed that the participants categorized one or more English vowels into a spectrally close Russian phonological category. Also, most of the L2 vowels that fitted better to Russian phonological categories had closer durations to those Russian categories than other vowels that were bad exemplars. Thus, it is suggested that L2 sound categorization might be a matter of L1-L2 category spectral and temporal matching.

Expressive writing in women
Creators: name: Reeves, Michelle
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: AbstractPurpose of Project: The purpose of this study was to understand if an expressive writingintervention for women seeking emotional support in a group setting at an outpatient mental health office could improve the emotional wellbeing of the group participants. Methodology: A quasi-experimental three-week study occurred using paired subjects without a control group. All subjects received the expressive writing intervention and were asked to write in response to an adapted version of an expressive writing prompt originally derived by social psychologist James Pennebaker. Participants were instructed to write about their thoughts and feelings for three consecutive days, for no longer than 15 minutes per writing session. The GAD-7 and PHQ-9 were used pre and posttest. Open ended questions were asked posttest about the overall experience in completing the study. Results: The final sample size was five (N=5) adult women who were mothers of no more than two children, with age ranges between mid-twenties through mid-fifties. Delta percentage change was the method used to analyze the data due to the small sample size. GAD-7 average scores showed a -16.8% change, and PHQ-9 average scores showed a -18.5% change pre and post implementation. Open ended responses reflected participants’ report of benefitting from daily time dedicated to processing their feelings, reflecting on their days, and evaluating their emotions. Implications for Practice: Expressive writing is a unique, low-cost intervention that has a minimal time commitment needed from providers and patients alike. This study showed a clinical impact in the reduction of depression and anxiety scale scores. Expressive writing can likely improve the emotional wellbeing of women who participate in emotional support groups. The study should be expanded and replicated to understand greater clinical impacts that expressive writing can have in the field of psychiatric advanced practice nursing.

Women at risk: Trauma in pregnancy - a systematic review
Creators: name: Mendoza, April
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Background: Trauma during pregnancy presents a major public health concern. The most common causes of trauma in pregnancy include motor vehicle collisions (MVC), assaults and falls. Both Major and minor injuries have been shown to result in worse outcomes for mother and child. Identifying mothers at risk for these specific mechanisms of injury would help improve injury prevention programs for pregnant women. Methods: We searched MEDLINE and the Cochrane databases from January 1, 1980 to January 31, 2012. Included articles were U.S.-based cohort and case-control studies with at least 50 injured pregnant women limited to the English-language investigating associations of socio-demographic variables with injury during pregnancy. Investigators abstracted all selected studies into a standardized collection format and completed a quality assessment based on recommendations by the PRISM and STROBE criteria. Results: Two hundred and twenty-seven abstracts were initially screened with 35 articles undergoing full review. Articles were rejected if they did not meet patient sample size inclusion criteria or did not analyze socio-demographic variables and the relationship to pregnancy-associated injury. Twelve articles were included in this review. Articles were separated into subgroups based on maternal mechanisms of injury, which included: all injuries, assaults, or homicides. The most frequently investigated socio-demographic variables included race, age, and insurance status. Studies were limited by differences in comparator groups, regional differences in demographics, and the observational design by the identified studies. Conclusion: The evidence to identify high risk women for the common injury patterns during pregnancy is insufficient. This is especially true for MVC and falls. There is moderate evidence to support the risk for pregnancy-associated injury is influenced by young age, minority ethnicity and eligibility for government-assisted health care. Identifying high risk pregnant populations for specific mechanisms of injury has the potential to target populations and improve patient counseling during pre-natal visits.

Greek cultural identity and Standard English pronunciation:Greek EFL teachers’ perceptions and practices
Creators: name: Georgountzou, Anastasia
name: Tsantila, Natasha
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2023
Subjects: identity, culture, perceptions, native-like accent, pronunciation

description: The present study, set in the Greek EFL context, investigates the interrelation among cultural identity (CI), perceptions towards accented English (standard[1] native or not) and pronunciation teaching practices of Greek EFL teachers. Findings indicate that despite some tolerance that Greek EFL teachers show towards NNE accents[2], they overall dissociate their CI from standard native English (St/NE) accent and from their norm-bound teaching practices. [1]By ‘standard’ we mean: “the language [accent] of educated native speakers, without explicit indication of what it means to be ‘educated’” (Seidlhofer 2011: 71). It is the accent that enjoys prestige, is not related to provinciality and/or lower social status and is encouraged in the classroom (Wells 1982: 34-35). In this study, although different from ‘native’, ‘standard’ is used to refer to accents mainly spoken in the UK and US, lacking localizable sound features (Wells 1982). [2] By ‘accent’, we mean “a pattern of pronunciation used by a Native speaker of English] or […] by the community or social grouping to which [s/he] belongs.” (Wells 1982: 1).

description: Measurements of pulsar flux densities are of great importance for understanding the pulsar emission mechanism and for predictions of pulsar survey yields and the pulsar population at large. Typically these flux densities are determined from phase-averaged "pulse profiles", but this method has limited applicability at low frequencies because the observed pulses can easily be spread out by interstellar effects like scattering or dispersion, leading to a non-pulsed continuum component that is necessarily ignored in this type of analysis. In particular for the class of the millisecond pulsars (MSPs) at frequencies below 200MHz, such interstellar effects can seriously compromise de- tectability and measured flux densities. In this paper we investigate MSP spectra based on a complementary approach, namely through investigation of archival con- tinuum imaging data. Even though these images lose sensitivity to pulsars since the on-pulse emission is averaged with off-pulse noise, they are insensitive to effects from scattering and provide a reliable way to determine the flux density and spectral indices of MSPs based on both pulsed and unpulsed components. Using the 74MHz VLSSr as well as the 325MHz WENSS and 1.4GHz NVSS catalogues, we investigate the imaging flux densities of MSPs and evaluate the likelihood of spectral turn-overs in this population. We determine three new MSP spectral indices and identify six new MSPs with likely spectral turn-overs.

An Integrated Approach to Improving Maternal & Neonatal Outcomes in Referral Facilities in Low Resource Settings: A Case Study from Ghana
Creators: name: Iracane, Sarah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Much recent attention has been directed towards improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes in advance of the 2015 Millennium Development Goals. Much progress has been made, but many low-income nations will still fail to meet national targets by 2015. Tertiary hospitals at the district or regional level are major contributors to maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity because they receive a large proportion of the sickest mothers. Reducing maternal and neonatal death in these settings has been challenged by a variety of interrelated system issues, such as the lack of health care professionals, inadequate drug supply, poorly functioning equipment and delays in critical clinical decisions. Improving outcomes in these settings requires an integrated approach to systems-strengthening that addresses all these issues simultaneously. This paper presents a case study of an integrated model for obstetric and neonatal care capacity building currently being implemented in Accra, Ghana. The proposed program is designed to engage hospital leaders and clinical staff caring for mothers and babies in leadership development and operational process improvement, while simultaneously promoting clinical training in key areas of obstetric and neonatal care. This model offers a system-level approach for improving maternal and neonatal health in the complex and challenging environment of tertiary hospitals in low-resource settings.

We are re-running the analysis and testing ancillary covariates not previously included in the analysis. This is a sensitivity test to see if the results are sensitive to these additional covariates. Hypothesis 1: We will evaluate whether caregiving frequency is associated to caregiver loneliness, distress, and negative affect in a national sample of N = 2108 adults over the age of 50 when controlling for the effects of age, gender, and self-reported health status. Hypothesis 2: We will evaluate if this relationship is moderated by the caregivers’ general concern about COVID-19, COVID-19 related concerns about family health, and reduced contact/social disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are using the existing Health and Retirement Study (HRS) data. We will be including all participants that responded to caretaking frequency question in the COVID-19 wave of data collection.

description: The purpose of the present study is to explore the beliefs, perceptions, and practices of EFL teachers in the Greek educational context about assessment as an integral part of the teaching and learning cycle. To achieve that, it includes a large-scale survey with mixed-method research procedures, carried out by means of a questionnaire administered to 120 EFL teachers in 2019, along with structured interviews. The results reveal that the majority of the participants use traditional tests to assess their students and fail to employ alternative assessment methods although they are aware of them and their benefits. To that end, the designed toolkit helps EFL teachers reflect on their assessment practices and constitutes the basis of future training on language assessment literacy.

Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2022
Subjects: motivation, learning strategies, English language learning, level of education, questionnaire survey

description: The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relation between motivation and learning strategy use and delve into the relation between motivation and learning strategy factors that affect English language attainment in different levels of education. Data was collected via a questionnaire in a sample of 380 primary and 482 lower secondary learners of English in Greek state schools, followed by 24 semi-structured interviews for the qualitative phase of the study. Findings reveal higher motivation and learning strategy scores for primary than lower secondary school learners. Moreover, the strong correlation between motivation and learning strategy use for both levels of education suggests particular implications for curriculum designers and teachers.

description: This paper provides results for the spectra of triply charmed and bottom baryons based on a constituent quark model approach. We take advantage of the assumption that potential models are expected to describe triply heavy baryons to a similar degree of accuracy as the successful results obtained in the charmonium and bottomonium sectors. The high precision calculation of the ground state and positive and negative parity excited states recently reported by nonperturbative lattice QCD provides us with a unique opportunity to confront model predictions with data. This comparison may also help to build a bridge between two difficult to reconcile lattice QCD results, namely, the lattice SU(3) QCD static three-quark potential and the recent results of nonperturbative lattice QCD for the triply heavy-baryon spectra.

Assisted Dying Policies in the United States: A Policy Analysis
Creators: name: Falk, Kristine
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: The policy of assisted dying has developed slowly over many decades in the United States, as it has around the world. While European countries were first to legalize assisted dying and protect the physicians who participated in this practice, the United States was not far behind as currently five states allow physician assisted dying and protect physicians under newly devised laws. These states were able to legalize assisted dying practices largely based upon the provisions set forth in a few key court cases that setup the framework upon which these future policy proposals could be developed. Lessons from other countries, as well as the failures and successes of assisted dying policies in the United States has shown there to be several key elements of a policy that increase its likelihood for political success. The purpose of this paper is to explore the historical development of policies of assisted dying in the U.S. and determine which policy variables must be included in order for a policy proposal to be successful, and what elements must be excluded.
Chain recurrence, chain transitivity, Lyapunov functions and rigidity of Lagrangian submanifolds of optical hypersurfaces

description: The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, we discuss the notions of strong chain recurrence and strong chain transitivity for flows on metric spaces, together with their characterizations in terms of rigidity properties of Lipschitz Lyapunov functions. This part extends to flows some recent results for homeomorphisms of Fathi and Pageault. On the other hand, we use these characterisations to revisit the proof of a theorem of Paternain, Polterovich and Siburg concerning the inner rigidity of a Lagrangian submanifold $Λ$ contained in an optical hypersurface of a cotangent bundle, under the assumption that the dynamics on $Λ$ is strongly chain recurrent. We also prove an outer rigidity result for such a Lagrangian submanifold $Λ$, under the stronger assumption that the dynamics on $Λ$ is strongly chain transitive.

description: In an influential 1964 article, P. Lax studied $2 \times 2$ genuinely nonlinear strictly hyperbolic PDE systems (in one spatial dimension). Using the method of Riemann invariants, he showed that a large set of smooth initial data lead to bounded solutions whose first spatial derivatives blow up in finite time, a phenomenon known as wave breaking. In the present article, we study the Cauchy problem for two classes of quasilinear wave equations in two spatial dimensions that are closely related to the systems studied by Lax. When the data have one-dimensional symmetry, Lax's methods can be applied to the wave equations to show that a large set of smooth initial data lead to wave breaking. Here we study solutions with initial data that are close, as measured by an appropriate Sobolev norm, to data belonging to a distinguished subset of Lax's data: the data corresponding to simple plane waves. Our main result is that under suitable relative smallness assumptions, the Lax-type wave breaking for simple plane waves is stable. The key point is that we allow the data perturbations to break the symmetry. Moreover, we give a detailed, constructive description of the asymptotic behavior of the solution all the way up to the first singularity, which is a shock driven by the intersection of null (characteristic) hyperplanes. We also outline how to extend our results to the compressible irrotational Euler equations. To derive our results, we use Christodoulou's framework for studying shock formation to treat a new solution regime in which wave dispersion is not present.

description: Linguistic variety in the educational process has gathered momentum in recent years, since it serves pedagogical, social and linguistic objectives. The mainstream textbook is considered one of the most important sources of information reflecting the authors’ method of exploiting local dialects which influences students’ attitudes towards these dialects. In the present research, an attempt was made to investigate the existence of linguistic variety in the coursebooks of the Μodern Greek Language of the Greek high school by using Content Analysis (Μπονίδης 2004). Six textbooks were put under the lens revealing that they do not provide students with sufficient exposure to geographical language variation. Finally, the major conclusions are presented along with reflections for further improvement of our research.
