Association Between Receipt of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and Childhood Obesity: A Systematic Review
Creators: name: De Araujo, Monique
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Importance Food assistance programs have been associated with obesity in adults. However, the association between Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) and childhood obesity (CO) is unclear. Understanding how SNAP may be associated with CO is essential for population health, as CO is associated with short and long-term morbidity and mortality. Objective Systematically review the evidence on SNAP use and association with CO in the U.S.Data Sources: PUBMED, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, and clinicaltrials.gov (to April 2018).  Study Selection This review included English cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses conducted in the US. Data Extraction & Synthesis Investigator reviewed abstracts, full-text articles, and risk of bias. Main outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was childhood overweight and obesity, assessed with BMI percentiles based on CDC definition. No secondary outcomes were assessed. Results 121 studies were screened, and 13 (29,856 participants) were included. Most studies controlled for child’s age, gender, race/ethnicity, and family income. Six studies reported that SNAP participation was associated with BMI and CO, with two studies showing an association with increased BMI and/or likelihood of CO, three showing an association with decreased BMI or likelihood of CO, and one study showing both (Subgroup analysis found positive relationship in cities with high-food prices and negative relationship in those with low prices). Seven studies reported no overall association. Limitations Incomplete reporting of data limited evaluation of evidence. Conclusions and Relevance There is inconsistent evidence about the association between use of SNAP and CO. While results of this systematic review were mixed, it is unlikely that SNAP participation is associated with increased BMI, or increased rates or probability of CO in the U.S.

The Ongoing Battle of Social Influence: Supporting a Movement for Stronger Corporate Social Responsibility through Public Health Leadership
Creators: name: Morrocu, Natalie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Today’s global industries are no longer keeping to the traditions of normal business operations and expectations. Rather, the continuous escalation of competition, innovation, and wealth has enabled many companies to disregard the standards of social justice and corporate social responsibility as part of their core business strategies (Taylor and Amankwah, 2016). In the last century alone, Americans have lost billions of dollars and millions of lives due to the unethical products and practices of several key industries (i.e. Tobacco, Alcohol, Food, etc.) (Freudenberg, 2014). Unfortunately, the unequal distribution of wealth and resources has repeatedly contributed to the gap in health disparities; thereby, further tarnishing the public’s image and confidence in America’s public health system ("Corporations and Health," 2010). The ongoing battle of social influence is an alarming challenge for public health leaders. The explanation offered in this paper stresses the dynamic nature of corporate greed and its role in weakening the foundation of democracy, trust, and healthy outcomes. This paper will discuss the misguided ideologies of corporate misconduct and their contribution to modern epidemics. In addition, this paper emphasizes the critical need for public health leaders to strengthen their power of influence by regaining the public’s trust and commitment to optimal health. In doing so, this paper recommends the mobilization of a health movement focused on strengthening corporate social responsibility through effective public health leadership.

description: We study the thermalization of an elementary quantum system modeled by a two-level atom interacting with stationary electromagnetic fields out of thermal equilibrium near a dielectric slab. The slab is held at a temperature different from that of the region where the atom is located. We find that when the slab is a nonabsorbing and nondispersive dielectric of a finite thickness $ d$, no out of thermal equilibrium effects appear as far as the thermalization of the atom is concerned, and a finite thick dielectric slab with a tiny imaginary part in the relative permittivity $\operatorname{Im} ε$ behaves like a half space dielectric substrate if $\frac{\operatorname{Im} ε}{\sqrt{\operatorname{Re}ε-1}} \frac{d}{λ_0} > 1$ is satisfied, where $λ_0$ is the transition wavelength of the atom. This condition can serve as a guide for an experimental verification, using a dielectric substrate of a finite thickness, of the effects that arise from out of thermal equilibrium fluctuations with a half-space (infinite thickness) dielectric.

description: The emergence of strategic verbal rehearsal at around 7 years of age, which precedes a burst in memory capacity, is a milestone in descriptions of the development of short-term memory across childhood. This qualitative shift in mnemonic processes has been characterized as a shift from passive visual to more active verbal mnemonic strategy use, but no investigation of the development of overt spatial rehearsal has informed this explanation. We measured serial spatial order reconstruction in adults and groups of children 5-7 years old and 8-11 years old, while recording their eye movements. Children, particularly the youngest children, overtly fixated late-list spatial positions longer than adults, suggesting that younger children are less likely to engage in covert rehearsal during stimulus presentation than older children and adults. However, during retention the youngest children overtly fixated more of the to-be-remembered sequences than any other group, which is inconsistent with the idea that children do nothing to try to remember. Altogether, these data are inconsistent with the notion that children under 7 do not engage in any attempts to remember. They are most consistent with proposals that children's style of remembering shifts around age 7 from reactive cue-driven methods to proactive, covert methods, which may include cumulative rehearsal.
Acceptability of Male Circumcision Among Men and Women For Prevention of HIV Infection in Uganda
Creators: name: Albert, Lisa Marie
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: In the last decade three randomized controlled trials in Kenya, South Africa, and Uganda have shown that male circumcision reduces the sexual transmission of HIV from women to men, as reported by the World Health Organization (WHO). The purpose of this study was to assess the current situation in Uganda with regards to male circumcision (MC) in order to provide decision makers with adequate information to decide whether and how to promote male circumcision as an HIV prevention strategy. This paper highlights circumcision of young children because they are an overlooked target group for HIV prevention efforts. Objectives of this assessment were to measure the acceptability of MC among men and women including their roles as parents. Following recommendations from the WHO document, "Male Circumcision Situation Analysis Toolkit", mixed-method data collection was conducted across four Ugandan districts. A two-stage household survey of 833 adult males and 842 adult females, focus group discussions, and a health provider survey were conducted in each district. Acceptability of MC was positive and substantial after respondents were told that recent studies show that male circumcision reduces the risk of transmission of HIV from women to men. In uncircumcised men, between 40% - 62% across the districts would consider getting circumcised. Parental support of MC for sons ranged between 60% to 86% of fathers and 49% - 95% of mothers, across the four districts. Widespread support exists among men and women in this study for promoting medical MC as part of Uganda’s current 'ABC+' HIV prevention strategy. Any MC intervention should clearly stress that MC should not be depended on solely to prevent HIV. Existing reservations and barriers to medical MC must be carefully addressed for the intervention to succeed.

description: The planar quantum dynamics of spin-1/2 neutral particle interacting with electrical fields is considered. A set of first order differential equations are obtained directly from the planar Dirac equation with nonminimum coupling. New solutions of this system, in particular, for the Aharonov-Casher effect, are found and discussed in detail. Pauli equation is also obtained by studying the motion of the particle when it describes a circular path of constant radius. We also analyze the planar dynamics in the full space, including the $r=0$ region. The self-adjoint extension method is used to obtain the energy levels and wave functions of the particle for two particular values for the self-adjoint extension parameter. The energy levels obtained are analogous to the Landau levels and explicitly depend on the spin projection parameter.

description: The proposal of generating high quality electron bunches via ionization injection triggered by an counter propagating laser pulse inside a beam driven plasma wake is examined via two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. It is shown that electron bunches obtained using this technique can have extremely small slice energy spread, because each slice is mainly composed of electrons ionized at the same time. Another remarkable advantage is that the injection distance is changeable. A bunch with normalized emittance of 3.3 nm, slice energy spread of 15 keV and brightness of $7.2\times 10^{18}$ A m$^{-2}$ rad$^{-2}$ is obtained with an optimal injection length which is achieved by adjusting the launch time of the drive beam or by changing the laser focal position. This makes the scheme a promising approach to generate high quality electron bunches for the fifth generation light source.

description: The dynamical structure of topologically massive gravity in the context of the Faddeev-Jackiw symplectic approach is studied. It is shown that this method allows to avoid some ambiguities arising in the study of the gauge structure via the Dirac formalism. In particular, the complete set of constraints and the gauge symmetry generators of the theory are obtained straightforwardly via the zero-modes of the symplectic matrix. In order to obtain the generalized Faddeev-Jackiw brackets and calculate the local physical degrees of freedom of this model, an appropriate gauge-fixing procedure is introduced. Finally, the similarities and advantages between Faddeev-Jackiw method and Dirac's formalism are briefly discussed.

Examining Perceptions of Participation in a Pediatric IBD Collaborative: Analyzing the Integral Features and Activities of ImproveCareNow

Year: 2010

description: In 2007, pediatric gastroenterologists from ten practice sites across the U.S. created a quality improvement collaborative, now known as ImproveCareNow, to improve the quality of care provided to children with inflammatory bowel disease. Despite the face validity and great potential of quality improvement collaboratives, investigators do not fully understand how improvement happens, including the variables contributing to quality measures and the necessary components needed to sustain quality improvement. The purpose of this project was to explore perceptions of collaborative participants to identify elements of sustainability. We performed qualitative interviews with 16 ImproveCareNow participants as one method in a triangulated strategy of measuring collaborative participants’ perceptions. We selected informants from a diverse list of practice types and geographic locations, and asked open-ended questions, which we then transcribed and coded. For this master’s paper, I analyzed members’ perceptions of value of, and implementation strategies for, collaborative components like previsit planning, patient databases (population management), standardized clinic forms and algorithms, and decision support. I found that collaborative participants value many system-wide features of collaborative participation, but sites have different paths to implementation, and important features are underdeveloped or under-utilized at some sites. Respondents embraced the potential of population management reports, but noted that data entry burdened clinic flow. Previsit planning was cited as moderately successful, and one site had developed a novel modification of the planning to obviate face-to-face meetings. Standardized clinic templates and decision analysis tools met high expectations for mutual benefit from individual innovation and ingenuity. Analyzing in-depth interviews of ICN participants is the first step in understanding what health care providers perceive as the value from, benefits of, and challenges to initiating and sustaining collaborative quality improvement activities
Use of Six Sigma and Toyota Production System in Health Care Quality Improvement: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Year: 2006

description: In the year 2000, the Institute of Medicine released a groundbreaking report that indicated that as many as 98,000 Americans die each year as a result of medical errors. This report and others that followed have created interest on the part of patients, providers, and purchasers of health care in ways to improve the quality of health care services in the United States. Although it is clear that the health care system must undergo significant transformation if we are to improve patient outcomes, the means to achieve that transformation are not clear. Several proprietary quality improvement methods have been developed in the manufacturing industry and have been successful in improving quality in that industry. Two of these proprietary methods are Six Sigma and Toyota Production System. Recently, some health care organizations have been attempting to use Six Sigma and Toyota Production System methods to improve the quality of patient care, but evidence for their effectiveness in health care is limited. This paper provides a systematic review of the published literature related to the use of Six Sigma and Toyota Production System in health care and, upon finding an almost complete lack of evidence for their use, considers the changes needed in the design and execution of quality improvement projects in order to be able to publish compelling studies based on the projects.
High-wavenumber solar $f$-mode strengthening prior to active region formation

description: We report a systematic strengthening of the local solar surface or fundamental $f$-mode $1$-$2$ days prior to the emergence of an active region (AR) in the same (corotating) location. Except for a possibly related increase in the kurtosis of the magnetic field, no indication can be seen in the magnetograms at that time. Our study is motivated by earlier numerical findings of Singh et al. (2014) which showed that, in the presence of a nonuniform magnetic field that is concentrated a few scale heights below the surface, the $f$-mode fans out in the diagnostic $kω$ diagram at high wavenumbers. Here we explore this possibility using data from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory and show for six isolated ARs, 11130, 11158, 11242, 11105, 11072, and 11768, that at large latitudinal wavenumbers (corresponding to horizontal scales of around 3000 km), the $f$-mode displays strengthening about two days prior to AR formation and thus provides a new precursor for AR formation. Furthermore, we study two ARs, 12051 and 11678, apart from a magnetically quiet patch lying next to AR~12529, to demonstrate the challenges in extracting such a precursor signal when a newly forming AR emerges in a patch that lies in close proximity of one or several already existing ARs which are expected to pollute neighboring patches. We then discuss plausible procedures for extracting precursor signals from regions with crowded environments. The idea that the $f$-mode is perturbed days before any visible magnetic activity occurs at the surface can be important in constraining dynamo models aimed at understanding the global magnetic activity of the Sun.

description: In this work we study the process of energy dissipation triggered by a slow large scale motion of a magnetized conducting fluid. Our consideration is motivated by the problem of heating the solar corona, which is believed to be governed by fast reconnection events set off by the slow motion of magnetic field lines anchored in the photospheric plasma. To elucidate the physics governing the disruption of the imposed laminar motion and the energy transfer to small scales, we propose a simplified model where the large-scale motion of magnetic field lines is prescribed not at the footpoints but rather imposed volumetrically. As a result, the problem can be treated numerically with an efficient, highly-accurate spectral method, allowing us to use a resolution and statistical ensemble exceeding those of the previous work. We find that, even though the large-scale deformations are slow, they eventually lead to reconnection events that drive a turbulent state at smaller scales. The small-scale turbulence displays many of the universal features of field-guided MHD turbulence like a well developed inertial range spectrum. Based on these observations, we construct a phenomenological model that gives the scalings of the amplitude of the fluctuations and the energy dissipation rate as functions of the input parameters. We find a good agreement between the numerical results and the predictions of the model.

Formation of ultra-compact blue dwarf galaxies and their evolution into nucleated dwarfs
Creators: name: Bekki, Kenji
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We propose that there is an evolutionary link between ultra-compact blue dwarf galaxies (UCBDs) with active star formation and nucleated dwarfs based on the results of numerical simulations of dwarf-dwarf merging. We consider the observational fact that low-mass dwarfs can be very gas-rich, and thereby investigate the dynamical and chemical evolution of very gas-rich, dissipative dwarf-dwarf mergers. We find that the remnants of dwarf-dwarf mergers can be dominated by new stellar populations formed from the triggered starbursts and consequently can have blue colors and higher metallicities (Z~[0.2-1]Z_sun). We also find that the remnants of these mergers can have rather high mass-densities (10^4 M_sun pc^-3) within the central 10 pc and small half-light radii (40-100 pc). The radial stellar structures of some merger remnants are similar to those of nucleated dwarfs. Star formation can continue in nuclear gas disks (R<100 pc) surrounding stellar galactic nuclei (SGNs) so that the SGNs can finally have multiple stellar populations with different ages and metallicities. These very compact blue remnants can be identified as UCBDs soon after merging and as nucleated dwarfs after fading of young stars. We discuss these results in the context of the origins of metal-rich ultra-compact dwarfs (UCDs) and SGNs.

description: We systematically investigate ways to twist a real spectral triple via an algebra automorphism and in particular, we naturally define a twisted partner for any real graded spectral triple. Among other things we investigate consequences of the twisting on the fluctuations of the metric and possible applications to the spectral approach to the standard model of particle physics.

ALMAS: Alcancemos Las Metas/Let's Reach Our Goals: An English and Health Education Program, Program Plan and Evaluation

description: The inability to understand English is a major challenge for many United States Hispanic immigrants. Significant associations exist for individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) including poorer social, economic, and health outcomes. Therefore, efforts to promote English acquisition, such as English as a Second Language (ESL) programs, are important community resources. North Carolina’s Hispanic and LEP population continues to steadily rise, increasing the demand for ESL programs. The program ALMAS, Alacancemos Las Metas (Let’s Reach Our Goals) was created to improve the English language proficiency of Hispanic women in eastern North Carolina. ALMAS is a community-based volunteer program which provides ESL instruction and health education. The program’s main goal is to empower Hispanic women with the skills and resources needed to live a healthier, productive life. ALMAS pairs each community volunteer with a Hispanic woman and together they create a lesson plan based on the woman’s goals. In addition, monthly health education sessions are held which include guest speakers from the community. An analysis of similar programs and their evaluation strategies was conducted to strengthen the design of ALMAS. This paper will describe the analysis and provide a detailed program and evaluation plan for ALMAS. The program plan will incorporate new effective teaching strategies and expand the services offered by the current program. The program evaluation will address the implementation and outcomes of program activities using both a quantitative and qualitative approach. Overall, the program plan and evaluation will help strengthen and sustain ALMAS. Hopefully, the program design will be disseminated to other high-need areas.

description: We develop a temperature measurement of an atomic cloud based on the temporal correlations of fluorescence photons evanescently coupled into an optical nanofiber. We measure the temporal width of the intensity-intensity correlation function due to atomic transit time and use it to determine the most probable atomic velocity, hence the temperature. This technique agrees well with standard time-of-flight temperature measurements. We confirm our results with trajectory simulations.
