description: Cigarette smoking is exceedingly common among people experiencing homelessness and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Homeless adults are interested in smoking cessation and make quit attempts as frequently as the general population; however, their success rates are much lower. Smoking cessation interventions that include behavioral counseling and pharmacotherapy are the standard of care. However, these interventions alone are insufficient to increase long-term abstinence (i.e., abstinence for 6 months or more) that is critical to increasing cessation rates in this population. Moreover, cessation interventions not only need to be efficacious in clinical trials but also effective in practice-based settings. Thus, research is needed to: 1) identify effective interventions that can increase the effect of behavioral counseling and pharmacotherapy on long-term abstinence for 6 months or more among homeless adults; and 2) determine whether these interventions can be brought to scale in safety net clinics serving homeless adults. In this proposal, we will pilot test a contingency management (CM) smoking cessation intervention for homeless adults seeking care in a safety net health clinic in San Francisco. CM is a powerful behavior change intervention that reinforces positive health behaviors through the provision of modest incentives (e.g., cash). Pilot studies among homeless adults have demonstrated the feasibility of short-term CM (i.e., 8 weeks or less) for smoking cessation, but these studies have not explored extended CM (i.e., CM for 12 weeks or more) for long-term abstinence. In this pilot study, we will (1) adapt a known-efficacious extended CM cessation intervention to a novel population and setting, with the ultimate goal of increasing long-term abstinence among homeless adults seeking care in safety net health clinics, (2) develop a corresponding protocol for a randomized controlled trial (RCT), and (3) conduct a pilot RCT to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the trial. If the pilot RCT is feasible and acceptable, we will test the adapted intervention in a subsequently-funded, full-scale RCT. The proposal has the potential for high impact by developing an intervention that can increase long-term abstinence and be brought to scale in safety net health clinics serving homeless adults.

description: Pregnant women should be very careful in choosing what substances they expose themselves to because their developing baby is very sensitive to chemicals and compounds. Many chemicals have teratogenic activity, meaning that they cause an abnormality following embryonic or fetal exposure during pregnancy. Two chemicals with the potential for teratogenic activity are present in tobacco and tobacco-related products: 1) nicotine, the addictive chemical in cigarettes, vaping cartridges, dermal patches, and chewing gum, and 2) tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the chemical responsible for most of marijuana's psychological effects. Even though vaping and marijuana are perceived as “safe” alternatives to cigarette smoking, the presence of nicotine and/or THC presents a serious teratogenic risk for the unborn child. Moreover, many smokers use combinations of products containing both nicotine and THC although effects of combined gestational exposure are unknown. Studies are beginning to discover important links to cognitive and behavioral deficits resulting from prenatal nicotine or THC exposure, and a few studies suggest that the heart might also be affected. This proposal will demonstrate the impact upon the heart of prenatal nicotine and THC, given alone or in combination, to pregnant female rats by inhalation that mimics smoking exposure. After birth, hearts from the offspring will be characterized for structural and functional damage due to enhanced inflammation from prenatal nicotine and/or THC exposure up to young adulthood at 2 months after birth. Studies will determine characteristics of inflammation-mediated damage in the heart and brain, and correlate cognitive and behavioral deficits with impaired cardiac function. These will be the first studies to rigorously assess damage to the heart from nicotine and THC, as well as the first findings that establish parallels in the underlying basis for prenatal damage between the heart and brain. These findings will provide important information for pregnant women to make healthy choices to protect their “at risk” developing baby from the lifelong after effects of developmental damage.

description: The principle of least privilege serves as an essential guideline in designing secure computing systems. However, implementing this in real-world systems through various programming languages has proved to be difficult and has allowed for many vulnerabilities in privilege escalation. One proposed solution is to have capability-based security primitives in programming languages for modules and objects. A capability is a unique token that provides the authority to perform a specific set of actions on a selected resource. However, its effectiveness as a language design choice for real-world applications remains to be seen.

To answer this question, we designed a comparative study to compare programmer productivity, security of the designs, and extensibility of packages in capability-based module systems vs. others. Our main goal was to determine whether module systems/packages having capabilities from the ground up provide usability and security advantages compared to their absence. The study used two programming languages - one with object capabilities (Wyvern) and the other with support for capabilities via external libraries (Rust).

Preliminary findings show that programs designed in Wyvern provided higher security guarantees in some cases, and users found using object capabilities an easy-to-use secure abstraction layer for managing critical resources. However, a lack of tooling for showing appropriate errors or code completion introduced challenges in writing code. Hence, future work requires a more in-depth study to define and validate current user-centric methods of designing capability-based languages. Further work also involves classifying security vulnerabilities solved by capabilities and building the necessary tools in Wyvern to make capabilities more viable as a design choice in programming languages.

description: Planning and urban sustainability depend equally on understanding land use and land cover (LULC) change, variability, and landscape risk (LR) assessment in earthquake-prone areas. This paper considered Barkal town and its environs (BTEN), an earthquake-prone area close to the 2003 Barkal-Rangamati Earthquake (5.7 Mw) for the LR change analysis from 2001–2024. Six different multi-temporal data for the years 2001, 2003, 2011, 2021, and 2024 are used for the detailed analysis to assess the spatial and temporal LULC and LR changes. Further, for LR mapping, Geographical Information System (GIS), and multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) based Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approaches were used. The LR mapping of the study region was prepared using various tools and approaches of geospatial techniques i.e. lineament density (LD), LR analysis, the local geology, and the LULC of various timelines. Furthermore, the ROC-AUC curve considered to validate the LD image with the LR maps considered as a novel technique in this study. The LR in the earthquake-affected areas, people’s risk perception and surface and subsurface rupture estimation also found suitable in the present study. Our detailed results will ultimately help the planners to assess better the changing state of 2003 Barkal-Rangamati earthquake-prone areas in a sustainable manner.

Trends in disparities in Smoking Behavior with 4 major, successful tobacco control programs

description: Previous efforts to reduce cigarette smoking have been most successful among people of higher socioeconomic status (SES). This is seen in the large reductions in smoking behavior in four of the leading tobacco control programs (California, Australia, New York and the United Kingdom). While there are many policies that influence tobacco use, some have a greater effect on those with lower SES. This proposal will study the implementation of tobacco control policies in each of these jurisdictions over the past 30 years focusing on policy implementation patterns associated with a narrowing of the SES disparity gap to inform tobacco control policy in California.

 Each of these jurisdictions has had quality surveillance systems with large sample sizes in place for the past 30 years allowing us to measure education and income differences in each of the three smoking behaviors: initiation, cessation and smoking intensity (cigarettes/day). For the two US jurisdictions, we will use a combination of states with the lowest scores on policy implementation to control for underlying trends. Within each jurisdiction, for each year, we will calculate the concentration index, which assesses the width of the disparity at any given point in time, for each of the three smoking behaviors.

 First, we will use models within each jurisdiction to investigate the relationship between policy implementation indices (like the World Health Organization’s (WHO) MPOWER framework) and the continuous concentration index for each dependent variable (initiation, cessation and smoking intensity). This will identify variables associated with an improvement in disparities over time within each jurisdiction. Then we will compare across jurisdictions to identify whether the policy implementation pattern identified as effective in one jurisdiction has a generalized effect across the other jurisdictions. We will construct a combined model, allowing for different secular trends within each jurisdiction. The change in disparity will be modeled using the concentration index as outcome for each smoking behavior. Our goal will be to produce recommendations for each tobacco control program on ways that they might learn from what worked in the other successful programs to reduce education and income disparities, and specifically inform tobacco control policy in California aimed at narrowing the disparity gap.

description: To determine the effect of vitamin D supplementation on changes in body composition associated with musculoskeletal health status in patients with chronic SCI and vitamin D deficiency as a response to age. Prospective drug-intervention study. Department of rehabilitation medicine, Veterans Health Service Medical Center. Seventeen patients with vitamin D insufficiency/deficiency (<30 ng/mL) and chronic SCI were divided into two groups: groups A <65 years (n = 8) and B ≥65 years of age (n = 9). Both groups received 800 IU/day cholecalciferol for 12 weeks. We used blood samples to evaluate metabolites related to vitamin D, testosterone (T), lipid profiles, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was used to evaluate body composition. Group A had significantly better baseline clinical characteristics for all BIA measurements. SHGB was significantly higher in Group B (P = 0.003) and albumin was significantly higher in Group A (P = 0.000). When comparing pre- to post-treatment, Group A showed a significant improvement in T (P = 0.042), total cholesterol (P = 0.035), and triglyceride (P = 0.025) levels, whereas Group B significantly increased vitamin D (P = 0.038) and protein mass (PM) (P = 0.034) levels. This study suggested that addressing vitamin D deficiency in patients with SCI had different effects in young and older adults, with both groups showing positive changes in body composition. Particularly, the increase in PM on BIA measurements in elderly patients at high risk of sarcopenia was encouraging.

description: Cigarette smoke is the predominant disease causing factor in the development of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Despite this being known for decades, the knowledge about the cellular, molecular, and biomechancial mechanisms underlying smoke-induced inflammation in the cells of the alveoli, the tiny air sacs of the lungs, is still limited. Furthermore, e-cigarettes have become increasingly popular with the misconception that their potential to cause COPD is significantly lower. In this study, I will correlate biomechanical with biochemical signatures and differences in biological function, using model alveolar cells exposed to combustion or vaping products, and determine pathogenic differences between “smoking” and “vaping”. By mimicking the activity of smoking either conventional cigarettes or e-cigarettes, I will develop a platform that will enable us to measure cellular mechanical reactions to aerosol exposure and to better determine the outcome of therapeutic interventions for the smoking lung.

description: Co-use of tobacco and cannabis among young adults is a growing public health concern in the US. The recent reports of vaping-related lung injury, highlight the importance of co-use, as most of the cases used both nicotine and cannabis vaporizers. Understanding patterns of and changes in co-use behavior is increasingly relevant given the proliferation of new tobacco products and the expanding cannabis legalization. The goal of this project is to better understand the impact of cannabis use on tobacco use, including daily use of each substance and changes in use over time. This project also examines factors, such as perceptions of harm of tobacco and cannabis and mental health, that may be associated with co-use among young adults (18-26 years old). To achieve these goals, this project will put together data from two sources: 2891 daily surveys collected via smartphones among 147 young adults and 90 in-depth interviews conducted over two years among 30 young adults in California. The proposed analysis combines an analysis of the daily surveys to look at different tobacco and cannabis products, and when they are used on the same day, and an analysis of in-depth interviews to describe how and why patterns of tobacco and cannabis use changed over two years. Finally, the project will compare and contrast the results from both sets of data to describe preferred patterns of co-use, whether use of cannabis increases use of tobacco, how views of harms influence co-use, and the impact of mental distress on co-use. By combining detailed and complementary data from both surveys and interviews, this research will help us better understand the impact of cannabis on tobacco use and the potential health effects related to co-use among young adults in California. This novel analysis of newly collected data is urgently needed to inform timely interventions addressing the co-use patterns that are most likely to lead to health risks, or that are most likely to impede young adults’ success in quitting or curbing their substance use.

description: To improve physical activity (PA) participation in people with spinal cord injury (SCI), an international panel co-created theory- and evidence-based best practices for SCI PA counseling. This study aimed to identify and compare Canadian and Dutch counselors’ knowledge, skills, and confidence in using these best practices. An online survey was conducted in Canada and the Netherlands. Respondents were included if they worked or volunteered as exercise/lifestyle counselor, recreation therapist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, or peer mentor and were planning to provide counseling in the next 12 months. Chi-square tests, t-tests and linear regression analyses were used to compare groups. Canadian (n = 45) and Dutch respondents (n = 41) had different expertise, with the majority of Canadians working as therapeutic recreation therapist and the majority of Dutch respondents working as PA/lifestyle counselor. In both countries, respondents scored relatively high on their knowledge, skills, and confidence in using the best practices on how to have a conversation and what to discuss during a conversation. Dutch respondents scored slightly higher in their confidence for using best practices about building rapport, motivational interviewing, and tailoring the support (p = 0.05). The generally high counseling skills reported by Canadian and Dutch respondents may be due to the history of SCI-specific PA promotion projects conducted in both countries. These survey findings were used to inform the development of evidence-based training modules on SCI PA counseling. This study may inspire cross-country collaboration and exchange to optimize the organization and delivery of PA counseling services for adults with SCI.

description: Use of electronic cigarette (E-cig) has rapidly proliferated worldwide. It is estimated that 1 out of 20 Americans use E-cig and thus, this addictive nature is a big public health concern. Contrary to the perceived view, E-cigs are far from safe, based on recent findings that link e-cigarette use to increased risk of heart attack, heart disease and depression. E-cigarettes contain nicotine and release very similar toxic compounds to tobacco smoking. Nicotine can quicken heart rate and raise blood pressure. Overall, researchers found e-cigarette users were 56% more likely to have a heart attack and 30% more likely to suffer a stroke than non-users. E-cigarette users were also 10% more likely to have heart disease and 44% more likely to have circulatory problems like blood clots compared to non-users. Persistent inflammation triggered by inhaled toxic substances from cigarette smoke are believed to be major contributors of such detrimental effects. Using electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) that produces mice with nicotine levels equivalent to that in human electronic cigarette users and smokers, this proposed study will test whether adverse cardiovascular effects can be minimized using proteins that are known to block the process of primary inflammation. The proposed study will make important inroads in the field of electronic cigarette use and help inform the public and regulators about the potential toxicity of these products.

description: Blood vessels are often damaged by tobacco smoking. We want to know how bodies respond to cues from the environment, in particular cues that are generated by tobacco smoking. How are these cues, or signals, processed and how does this affect blood vessel health?

 In particular, we study the molecules that receive these signals, which are called receptors. We also study the molecules that control signal processing, which are called enzymes. We have found an enzyme that controls the amount of receptor. I will be trying to understand which parts of this enzyme are important for its function. Then, I will test if these different parts of the enzyme affect blood vessel health.

 By studying this enzyme, I hope that in the future we will be able to design medicine to treat blood vessels damaged by smoking tobacco and to help people to recover more quickly.
A purpose-first theory of transfer through programming in a general education computing course

description: Hope has dimmed that programming knowledge transfers to learning of general problem-solving strategies. Instead, today’s computing education researchers seek to understand how knowledge gained in learning one programming language might transfer to another programming context. We hypothesize that the motivation to learn programming influences knowledge transfer. In our work, we explore what knowledge transfers for students who are studying computing as a general education topic, i.e., not with the goal of becoming software professionals. Our students include future end-user programmers and conversational programmers who are studying programming in order to improve their ability to communicate with professional programmers. We use the structure-behavior-function (SBF) model as a theoretical framework to suggest that transfer may be occurring at the functional level, rather than the structural or behavioral level. We show evidence that is congruent with this theory of transfer, from a teaspoon language to a block-based programming language.

description: Cardiometabolic disease (CMD) frequently occurs in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), with growing awareness surrounding the expansive scope of this problem. As CMD has significant morbidity and mortality, early guidelines-based screening and management have been established. However, the extent to which these guidelines have been adopted are unclear. Describe physicians’ screening and management pattern for CMD in patients with SCI, as compared to SCI-specific CMD screening guidelines, and elucidate variables linked to screening and management patterns. SCI medicine-boarded physicians were surveyed on screening timing for CMD following acute SCI, along with their practice pattern and comfort level managing common CMD risk factors. Of the forty-seven SCI medicine physicians that responded, 62% felt the ideal timing for CMD screening is 6 months after the acute injury. Of these same physicians, few were screening for insulin resistance and lipid dysregulation prior to 6 months after injury. In addition, less than half felt comfortable writing new prescriptions for anti-glycemic and anti-lipid medications. Furthermore, no association was found between the amount of CMD education with screening or management patterns. Finally, VA-based providers were more likely to screen for CMD within 6 months of injury and were more comfortable managing/starting anti-glycemic medications and statins. Despite the presence of SCI-specific CMD guidelines, gaps in screening and management practices still exist, most notably with insulin resistance and lipid dysregulation. VA-based providers generally screen and manage CMD risk factors more effectively, and further CMD education could consider emulating VA training modules.

description: The adverse effect of cigarette smoking on our health is well documented. Compared with nonsmokers, smoking is estimated to increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive lung diseases. Smoking also has many adverse reproductive and early childhood effects including infertility, preterm delivery, stillbirth, low birth weight, and sudden infant death syndrome. Currently, it is not clearly known how nicotine, the addictive stimulant in tobacco, interferes and disrupts normal physiology of developing fetuses at the molecular and cellular level. In pregnant women who smoke, nicotine crosses the placenta, concentrates in fetal blood and amniotic fluid, and is detectable in breast milk during lactation and several fetal tissues, including the respiratory tract. Evidence from animal models exposed to nicotine during pregnancy suggests that nicotine plays a role in causing asthma in offspring. In addition, similar lung defects are seen in a nicotine exposed non-human primate model and in human infants dying of sudden infant death syndrome born to mothers who smoked during pregnancy. Amniotic fluid (AF) is a rich source of molecules released from the fetus, including cell-free nucleic acids. Composition of nucleic acids in AF has been demonstrated to be distinct from those in maternal blood. Studies support that AF can be an excellent source of molecular constituents to monitor the physiological status of the fetus. The proposed collaborative research on the effects of prenatal nicotine exposure on molecular contents in AF is a novel way to study the harmful effects of nicotine on the developing fetus. Outcomes of this study will set the basis for future detailed studies to achieve our long-term goal geared towards defining the significance of nicotine-induced molecular alterations in fetal development. Futuristic beneficial utility of outcomes from this proposal would be providing fundamental information towards the potential invention of diagnostic and therapeutic tools for the early detection of developmental defects manifested by nicotine use.

description: Cigarette smoking significantly increases the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) which is the leading cause of death in the US CAD is a direct result of plaque accumulation within arteries leading to artery narrowing and reducing blood flow to the heart. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a procedure commonly performed to open narrowed arteries via a balloon catheter. A significant complication of PCI is damage to the vessel wall at the site of balloon deployment. The endothelial cell layer lining the arteries is stripped and the underlying collagenous connective tissue is exposed, initiating platelet binding, coagulation and inflammation which in turn trigger blood clot formation, smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and migration (neointimal hyperplasia), and extracellular matrix deposition. Together these effects negatively impact the safety and efficacy of PCI by triggering the re-accumulation of plaque.

 Drug-eluting stents (DES) have shown effective inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia and prevention of restenosis in early evaluations. While DES were developed to combat neointimal hyperplasia by suppressing the proliferating SMCs, reports have shown that the primary outcomes for DES are no better than those of bare metal stents, suggesting that there is a significant unmet need to develop innovative treatments that can effectively protect the injured vessel area, prevent platelet binding and thrombosis, support reendothelialization, and ultimately reduce late-lumen loss, are critically needed to bridge this gap in treatment.

 This pilot study is designed to explore the possibility and feasibility of an innovative concept and technology. Instead of trying to suppress the proliferative SMCs (e.g., drug-eluting stents), we propose to develop a novel regenerative therapeutic that can selectively affect the damaged area caused by angioplasty and promote the regeneration of endothelium by recruiting endogenous endothelial progenitor cells. This “liquid” stent luminal coating technology could minimize long-term complications of permanent stents, alleviate the need for long-term daily administration of anti-clotting agents and substantially lower the complications associated with the current DES. If successfully accomplished, this pilot study will lead to an expanded research effort in further developing the next generation of treatment for CAD.
