Year: 2022

description: Purpose of Project: Advance care planning (ACP) is a process that allows individuals to discuss their goals for future health care. The purpose of this DNP project was to increase healthcare provider readiness to initiate ACP, documented ACP conversations, and advance directive/POLST completions in a primary care setting.Methodology: This DNP project was a quality improvement project that consisted of a pre-post study design. A retrospective chart review and post-intervention chart review was done. A pre and post survey was given to assess healthcare provider readiness to initiate ACP. The multimodal intervention consisted of educational sessions, role-play workshops, and the utilization of a conversation assistant tool.Results: In the pre-intervention group (n = 60), 0% (n = 0) had a documented ACP conversation. In the post-intervention group (n = 60), 88.3% (n = 53) had a documented ACP conversation and 11.7% (n = 7) did not have one. The data achieved significance (X2 = 94.925, p < .001). In the pre-intervention group (n = 60), 1.7% (n = 1) had an advance directive/POLST and 98.3% (n = 59) did not have one. In the post-intervention group (n = 60), 31.7% (n = 19) had an advance directive/POLST and 68.3% (n = 41) did not have one. The data achieved significance (X2 = 19.440, p < .001). The mean score of the pre-intervention survey was 10.75. The mean score of the post-intervention survey was 17.00. This showed an approximate 58.1% increase in score.Implications for Practice: Implications include early ACP engagement, completion of continuing education credits on ACP, an increase in patient satisfaction, a decrease in excessive medical treatments, and a decrease in healthcare costs.
Hierarchical assembly may be a way to make large information-rich structures

description: Self-assembly in the laboratory can now yield `information-rich' nanostructures in which each component is of a distinct type and has a defined spatial position. Ensuring the thermodynamic stability of such structures requires inter-component interaction energies to increase logarithmically with structure size, in order to counter the entropy gained upon mixing component types in solution. However, self-assembly in the presence of strong interactions results in general in kinetic trapping, so suggesting a limit to the size of an (equilibrium) structure that can be self-assembled from distinguishable components. Here we study numerically a two-dimensional hierarchical assembly scheme already considered in experiment. We show that this scheme is immune to the kinetic traps associated with strong `native' interactions (interactions designed to stabilize the intended structure), and so, in principle, offers a way to make large information-rich structures. In this scheme the size of an assembled structure scales exponentially with the stage of assembly, and assembly can continue as long as random motion is able to bring structures into contact. The resulting superstructure could provide a template for building in the third dimension. The chief drawback of this scheme is that it is particularly susceptible to kinetic traps that result from `non-native' interactions (interactions not required to stabilize the intended structure); the scale on which such a scheme can be realized therefore depends upon how effectively this latter kind of interaction can be suppressed.
title: The Ethic, Phenomenology and Diagnostic of Post-war French Psychiatry
Creators: name: Reggio, David
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2006

description: The thesis seeks to examine the ethical, phenomenological and diagnostic renewal of psychiatry in post-war France. The particular focus of study will be to bring to light (1) the emergence of a psychiatric movement that was to become known as Institutional Psychotherapy in 1952, (2) the inauguration of a particular post-war clinical sentiment of sympathy, (3) and the more specific developments of the psychopathology of schizophrenia undertaken by Dr. Francois Tosquelles and Dr. Jean Oury. The thesis is composed of three chapters: The first chapter of the thesis, presents a bi-focal analysis of a philanthropic politic characterising two significant moments of medical reform, where psychiatry finds its Hippocratic and Apostolic definition as a vocation addressing the imperial need of man. The first moment, is that of Philippe Pinel in a Post-Revolutionary France, who urged for more specialised spaces employing the non-violent treatment of the insane. The second, is the German Occupation of France, where the psychiatrist's personage in the questionably 'free' Vichy South is one that is dramatic and resistant. This historical study is conducted in order to bring to light the methodological shift within the history of European psychiatry: what was the art of medicine and alienation for Pinel of the Paris Pitié Salpêtrière, is extended and redefined as the art of sympathy and dis-alienation for those of the clinical fraternity of Saint-Alban. The second chapter, observes the 1948 doctoral thesis of Dr. Francois Tosquelles and the conditions of its emergence. Addressed is the "polydimensional" approach of Institutional Psychotherapy in its marrying the psychoanalytical, the biological, the theological, the neurological and the phenomenological, and as to how such an approach reasons the negation of madness to be said of a positive, constructive, aesthetic and industrial paradigm. The third chapter seeks to demonstrate the empirico-phenomenological attitude of Institutional Psychotherapy by observing the works of Dr. Jean Oury, Jacques Schotte, Viktor von Weizsacker and Henri Maldiney, and as to how they pertain to a "pathic" diagnostic of schizophrenia, a diagnostic of the felt rather than the thought, where the psychiatric symptom is at once empirical and transcendental.

description: Motivated by two experimental facts, the muon g-2 anomaly and the observed Higgs boson mass around 125 GeV, we propose a simple model of anomaly mediation, which can be seen as a generalization of mixed modulus-anomaly mediation. In our model, the discrepancy of the muon g-2 and the Higgs boson mass around 125 GeV are easily accommodated. The required mass splitting between the strongly and weakly interacting SUSY particles are naturally achieved by the contribution from anomaly mediation. This model is easily consistent with SU(5) or SO(10) grand unified theory.

Year: 2022

description: Most agricultural lenders extend loans based on their assessment of a borrower's ability to repay debt. Because of this, some farmers may not be able to secure as much credit as they would like fore their farm businesses. A lack of credit could prevent these farmers from expanding production or could restrict investments in productivity-enhancing technologies. Off-farm income may help some farm households quality for larger loans, which could lead to higher farm output, productivity, and profit.

description: Pressure dependence of the conductivity and thermoelectric power is measured through the Mott transition in the layer organic conductor EtMe3P[Pd(dmit)2]2. The critical behavior of the thermoelectric effect provides a clear and objective determination of the Mott-Hubbard transition during the isothermal pressure sweep. Above the critical end point, the metal-insulator crossing, determined by the thermoelectric effect minimum value, is not found to coincide with the maximum of the derivative of the conductivity as a function of pressure. We show that the critical exponents of the Mott-Hubbard transition fall within the Ising universality class regardless of the dimensionality of the system.

description: We describe a low-cost, open-access, CubeSat-based calibration instrument that is designed to support ground-based and sub-orbital experiments searching for various polarization signals in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). All modern CMB polarization experiments require a robust calibration program that will allow the effects of instrument-induced signals to be mitigated during data analysis. A bright, compact, and linearly polarized astrophysical source with polarization properties known to adequate precision does not exist. Therefore, we designed a space-based millimeter-wave calibration instrument, called CalSat, to serve as an open-access calibrator, and this paper describes the results of our design study. The calibration source on board CalSat is composed of five "tones" with one each at 47.1, 80.0, 140, 249 and 309 GHz. The five tones we chose are well matched to (i) the observation windows in the atmospheric transmittance spectra, (ii) the spectral bands commonly used in polarimeters by the CMB community, and (iii) The Amateur Satellite Service bands in the Table of Frequency Allocations used by the Federal Communications Commission. CalSat would be placed in a polar orbit allowing visibility from observatories in the Northern Hemisphere, such as Mauna Kea in Hawaii and Summit Station in Greenland, and the Southern Hemisphere, such as the Atacama Desert in Chile and the South Pole. CalSat also would be observable by balloon-borne instruments launched from a range of locations around the world. This global visibility makes CalSat the only source that can be observed by all terrestrial and sub-orbital observatories, thereby providing a universal standard that permits comparison between experiments using appreciably different measurement approaches.
Laminar Organization of the NMDA Receptor Complex within the Postsynaptic Density

Year: 2001

description: The NR2 subunit is an essential component of the NMDA receptor. Recent biochemical research has identified a number of molecules that can bind directly or indirectly to its cytoplasmic tail. These postsynaptic density (PSD) proteins play a role in intracellular signal transduction, and are implicated in synaptic plasticity and memory mechanisms. We performed systematic electron microscopic immunogold analysis in rat neocortex to determine the spatial organization of NR2, in relation to six other proteins thought to be involved in the NMDA receptor complex. Peak concentrations of each protein were within the PSD but in different "layers" of the density. In the axodendritic axis, gold particles coding for PSD-95 lay an average of 12 nm cytoplasmic to the extracellular face of the plasma membrane, very close to the C terminal of NR2. Nitric oxide synthase lay 18 nm inside the membrane; the scaffolding proteins guanylate kinase-associated protein and Shank lay 24-26 nm inside the membrane; and CRIPT and dynein light chain, proteins that may link the complex to cytoskeletal elements, lay on the cytoplasmic side of the PSD, 29-32 nm inside the plasma membrane and extending into the spine cytoplasm. The supramolecular organization of these molecules may modulate intracellular transduction of NMDA-mediated signals.

Telehealth in patients with diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis project
Creators: name: Meller, Heather
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Purpose: The purpose of this review was to examine the best available evidence on self-management outcomes for patients with diabetes type 1 or type 2, that use telehealth or telemedicine (TM) vs. usual care (UC) or face-to-face visits for treatment.Methodology: A search of four databases, and relevant organizational websites revealed 450 titles. After duplicates were removed, 254 studies were screened by title and abstract for eligibility. Eighty-three full-text articles were retrieved, and each was assessed for eligibility. Seventy-five articles were excluded. The remaining eight full-text articles were critically appraised and included in this review.Results: The usage of telemedicine in patients with diabetes did show statistically significant reductions in HgbA1C (95% CI -0.25, -0.06), in systolic blood pressure (95% CI -0.25, -0.06), and in diastolic blood pressure (95% CI -0.26, -0.04), but not in LDL cholesterol with usage of TM (95% CI -0.41, -0.02).Implications for Practice: The usage of TM in some of the studies did show some improvement in self-management as evidenced by self-blood glucose monitoring, adherence to medications as well as appointments via online. Many studies showed a positive correlation between TM and reduction in HgbA1C, systolic and diastolic BP, but not a significant reduction in LDL cholesterol. The studies included in this review did show an increased connectivity with providers via Electronic Medical Record (EMR), videoconferencing, and secure emailing can increase participants knowledge about their disease, confidence in self-managing their illness and a stronger bond with their providers as opposed to UC or face-to-face visits. However, it is not clear what form of virtual education is most effective. Some of the studies connected participants to educational websites, other providers provided their own educational modules. Some of the studies relied on secure email messages to provide insight into treatment, medication changes or dietary adjustments for example.

description: We study numerically the wavefunction evolution of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a Bunimovich stadium billiard being governed by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We show that for a moderate nonlinearity, above a certain threshold, there is emergence of dynamical thermalization which leads to the Bose-Einstein probability distribution over the linear eigenmodes of the stadium. This distribution is drastically different from the energy equipartition over oscillator degrees of freedom which would lead to the ultra-violet catastrophe. We argue that this interesting phenomenon can be studied in cold atom experiments.

description: Desensitization plays an important role in the rapid termination of G-protein signaling pathways. This process, which involves phosphorylation by a G-protein-coupled receptor kinase (GRK) followed by arrestin binding, has been studied extensively in the rod photoreceptor cell of the mammalian retina. In contrast, less is known regarding desensitization in cone photoreceptor cells, which occurs more rapidly than in rod cells. Recently, our laboratory has cloned a novel GRK family member, GRK7, from the retina of a cone-dominant mammal, the 13-lined ground squirrel. Here we report the cloning of GRK7 from rod-dominant pig and human retinas, suggesting that this kinase plays a role in human visual signaling. Because GRK1 (rhodopsin kinase), the GRK that mediates rhodopsin desensitization in the rod cell, is reportedly expressed in both rods and cones, a detailed comparison of the localization of the two kinases is a necessary step toward determining their potential roles in cone visual signaling. Immunocytochemical analysis using antibodies selective for these two GRKs unexpectedly demonstrated species-specific differences in GRK7 and GRK1 expression in cones. In pigs and dogs, cones express only GRK7, whereas in mice and rats, we detected only GRK1 in cones. These results suggest that either GRK7 or GRK1 may participate in cone opsin desensitization, depending on the expression pattern of the kinases in different species. In contrast, GRK7 and GRK1 are coexpressed in monkey and human cones, suggesting that coordinate regulation of desensitization by both kinases may occur in primates.

description: The conditions for both the stability and the breakdown of the topological classification of gapped ground states of noninteracting fermions, the tenfold way, in the presence of quartic fermion-fermion interactions are given for any dimension of space. This is achieved by encoding the effects of interactions on the boundary gapless modes in terms of boundary dynamical masses. Breakdown of the noninteracting topological classification occurs when the quantum nonlinear sigma models for the boundary dynamical masses favor quantum disordered phases. For the tenfold way, we find that (i) the noninteracting topological classification $\mathbb{Z}^{\,}_{2}$ is always stable, (ii) the noninteracting topological classification $\mathbb{Z}$ in even dimensions is always stable, (iii) the noninteracting topological classification $\mathbb{Z}$ in odd dimensions is unstable and reduces to $\mathbb{Z}^{\,}_{N}$ that can be identified explicitly for any dimension and any defining symmetries. We also apply our method to the three-dimensional topological crystalline insulator SnTe from the symmetry class AII$+R$, for which we establish the reduction $\mathbb{Z}\to\mathbb{Z}^{\,}_{8}$ of the noninteracting topological classification.

Tuning to Interaural Time Differences across Frequency
Creators: name: Kuwada, Shigeyuki
name: Fitzpatrick, Douglas C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2001

description: Interaural time differences (ITDs) are an important cue for azimuthal sound localization. Sensitivity to this cue depends on temporal synchrony to the waveform (i.e., phase locking) that begins in the hair cells and is relayed to the neural comparators. The synchrony function is low-pass. Therefore, it is expected that neural tuning to ITDs will become narrower with frequency according to a 1/frequency function. To test this, we measured ITD tuning across frequency in neurons from the superior olivary complex, the dorsal nucleus of the lateral lemniscus, the inferior colliculus, the auditory thalamus, and the auditory cortex. For some neurons in each nucleus, the ITD tuning width did become systematically narrower by the expected 1/frequency relationship. However, in other neurons the ITD tuning width was nearly constant across frequency. Constant ITD tuning width was infrequently observed in neurons of the superior olivary complex but was common in neurons in structures above the superior olivary complex. The nearly constant ITD tuning was caused both by sharper ITD tuning at low frequencies and broader tuning at higher frequencies within the low-frequency band. Neurons with nearly constant tuning to ITDs may be the mechanism underlying the perception of ITDs in humans in which just-noticeable differences to changes in ITD decrease by less than the 1/frequency prediction.

description: The forecast method introduced by Korsós et al.(2014) is generalised from the horizontal magnetic gradient (GM), defined between two opposite polarity spots, to all spots within an appropriately defined region close to the magnetic neutral line of an active region. This novel approach is not limited to searching for the largest GM of two single spots as in previous methods. Instead, the pre-flare conditions of the evolution of spot groups is captured by the introduction of the weighted horizontal magnetic gradient, or W_GM. This new proxy enables the potential of forecasting flares stronger than M5. The improved capability includes (i) the prediction of flare onset time and (ii) an assessment whether a flare is followed by another event within about 18 hours. The prediction of onset time is found to be more accurate here. A linear relationship is established between the duration of converging motion and the time elapsed from the moment of closest position to that of the flare onset of opposite polarity spot groups. The other promising relationship is between the maximum of the W_GM prior to flaring and the value of W_GM at the moment of the initial flare onset in the case of multiple flaring. We found that when the W_GM decreases by about 54%, then there is no second flare. If, however, when the W_GM decreases less than 42%, then there will be likely a follow-up flare stronger than M5. This new capability may be useful for an automated flare prediction tool.

description: Corn is a major source of livestock feed, fuel, exports, and derivative products such as starch and sweeteners, as well as paper and bioproducts like plastics and cosmetics. To supply this broad and growing market over the past several decades, U.S. corn production has expanded. Since 1996, the area of corn planted in the United States has risen more than 10 percent, with increases reaching as high as 40 percent in the Northern Great Plains region (see map below). At the same time, average corn yields have increased more than 40 percent. A USDA, Economic Research Service (ERS) report published in July 2021 identified and examined technological and structural changes in U.S. corn production since 1996, focusing on how these changes have affected production costs, net returns, productivity, and yields. To track these trends in corn production, researchers used data covering 1996 to 2016 from the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS), produced by ERS and USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), and the NASS Census of Agriculture.
A retrospective and prospective chart review with implementations: preventing non-urgent emergency department visits from a primary care practice
Creators: name: Thaker, Natasha
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Purpose: Often there are patients who visit the emergency department for non-urgent complaints that can be treated in the primary care setting. This can lead to overcrowding of the emergency department, increased costs, and delay in treatment times. Providers need to advise or educate patients on the use of the emergency department versus the primary care practice. Doing so may lead to better use of the primary care providers, decrease non-urgent visits to the emergency departments and improve patient outcomes.Methodology: A retrospective chart review with implementation of a handout was on display at a privately owned primary care practice in northern New Jersey. The handout displayed examples of services available in the emergency department versus those in the primary care practice. Prospective evaluation via a chart review of patient utilization of the emergency department was collected after handout has been available to patients. Data was analyzed for a decrease in patients utilizing the emergency department. The retrospective chart review, implementation of patient viewing handouts, and prospective chart review was utilized to develop recommendations based on the findings to promote primary care use and help decrease non-urgent emergency department visits.Results: The statistical results revealed that most of the emergency department visits were emergent. Although emergency department visits after the implementation, the results were not statistically significant due to small sample size.Implications for Practice: One time evaluation of patient Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM) score to determine baseline healthcare literacy. This will assist in educating of the patient and providers to determine what level of counseling they can provide the patient. Recommendations for additional practice hours as well as having additional providers to assist with patient volume. Utilization of call service when office is closed. Documentation of counseling of the patient for reimbursement.

description: Fitness interactions between mutations can influence a population’s evolution in many different ways. While epistatic effects are difficult to measure precisely, important information is captured by the mean and variance of log fitnesses for individuals carrying different numbers of mutations. We derive predictions for these quantities from a class of simple fitness landscapes, based on models of optimizing selection on quantitative traits. We also explore extensions to the models, including modular pleiotropy, variable effect sizes, mutational bias and maladaptation of the wild type. We illustrate our approach by reanalysing a large dataset of mutant effects in a yeast snoRNA. Though characterized by some large epistatic effects, these data give a good overall fit to the non-epistatic null model, suggesting that epistasis might have limited influence on the evolutionary dynamics in this system. We also show how the amount of epistasis depends on both the underlying fitness landscape and the distribution of mutations, and so is expected to vary in consistent ways between new mutations, standing variation and fixed mutations.

description: The aim of this study was to value the prevalence of enteropathogenic Vibrio spp. in fish products, collected in the last two years. A total of 100 samples (75 bivalve molluscs, 6 shrimps, 12 teleosts and 7 cephalopods) were analysed according to the ISO 21872-1:2017. Vibrio strains were characterised by molecular analysis (PCR). Enteropathogenic Vibrio spp were isolated in the 11% of fish products, particularly in shellfish. V. parahaemolyticus was identified in 4/75 (5.3%) and in 2/12 (16.7%) samples of bivalve molluscs from production areas and teleosts respectively. The isolates of V. parahaemolyticus were tested by PCR for the presence of specie- specific gene (toxR) and for the tdh and trh genes: 1 sample of teleosts (Sardina pilchardus) had the trh gene. V. vulnificus was isolated in 5/75 (6.7%) samples of bivalve molluscs (only in oysters). This is the first report of V. vulnificus identification in bivalve molluscs in our area.

description: Lieb-Liniger model describes bosons with contact interactions in one-dimensional space. In the limit of weak repulsive particle interactions, there are two types of low lying excitation spectrum. The first is reproduced by the Bogoliubov dispersion relation, the other is believed to correspond to dark soliton excitations. While there are various evidences that the type II spectrum is related to dark solitons, it has not been shown that measurements of positions of particles reveal dark soliton density profiles. Here, we employ the Bethe ansatz approach and show that dark solitons emerge in the measurement process if the system is prepared in an eigenstate corresponding to the type II spectrum. We analyze single and double dark solitons as well as weak and strong interaction regime.

description: Fish and fishery are an important part of the culture and tradition of many tribal communities of North East India including the Bodo tribes of Assam. The Bodos use varieties of unique traditional fishing gears and methods for fishing. Understanding and documenting such traditional knowledge systems are important to prevent them from vanishing with time. This paper aims to study and document the traditional fishing gears of Bodo tribes and their methods of operation. The study was conducted in six villages of Kokrajhar district, Assam, India from April 2021 to March 2022 through surveys including semi-structured questionnaires and personal interviews. Altogether 135 respondents participated in the study and 35 different fishing gears were recorded including the ones, which were previously not reported. They were categorized into impaling gears, hook & lines, and traps and pots. The natural resources and fish diversity were seen to influence the structure and design of gears in the study. The popularity and usage of some of the gears like Sahera, Baga, Borom Je and Dura Je were found declining, which may be attributed to increasing popularity of destructive fishing techniques like electric fishing, blast fishing and poisoning. This study will help in proper recognition, documentation and preservation of rich traditional knowledge on traditional fishing gears and methods of the region.

A Remark on Polar Noncommutativity

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Noncommutative space has been found to be of use in a number of different contexts. In particular, one may use noncommutative spacetime to generate quantised gravity theories. Via an identification between the Moyal $\star$-product on function space and commutators on a Hilbert space, one may use the Seiberg-Witten map to generate corrections to such gravity theories. However, care must be taken with the derivation of commutation relations. We examine conditions for the validity of such an approach, and determine the correct form for polar noncommutativity in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. Such an approach lends itself readily to extension to more complicated spacetime parametrisations.

description: We present an unitary dispersive model for the $η\to 3 π$ decay process based upon the Khuri-Treiman equations which are solved by means of the Pasquier inversion method. The description of the hadronic final-state interactions for the $η\to 3π$ decay is essential to reproduce the available data and to understand the existing discrepancies between Dalitz plot parameters from experiment and chiral perturbation theory. Our approach incorporates substraction constants that are fixed by fitting the recent high-statistics WASA-at-COSY data for $η\to π^+ π^- π^0$. Based on the parameters obtained we predict the slope parameter for the neutral channel to be $α=-0.022\pm 0.004$. Through matching to next-to-leading order chiral perturbation theory we estimate the quark mass double ratio to be $Q=21.4 \pm 0.4$.

description: We present preliminary results from our investigation into using an 'inside-out' velocity space for creating a Doppler tomogram. The aim is to transpose the inverted appearance of the Cartesian velocity space used in normal Doppler tomography. In a comparison between normal and inside-out Doppler tomograms of cataclysmic variables, we show that the inside-out velocity space has the potential to produce new insights into the accretion dynamics in these systems.
