Advanced Practice Pharmacists: cost of medications prescribed by ClinicaL Pharmacist PractitionErs compared to Primary Care Providers in North Carolina (APPLE-NC)
Creators: name: Bernstein, Adam
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Introduction: There is a need to discover new methods of cost-­‐effective care
as the healthcare system transitions to a model emphasizing quality outcomes.
Medication prices continue to rise and must be considered when evaluating the
cost of new approaches to treatment. Increased utilization of advanced
practice pharmacists represents one solution to appropriate medication use in
chronic disease state management. However, the effect on the cost of
prescribed pharmacotherapy is unknown. Objective: To determine the cost of
medications prescribed to patients receiving care from both Clinical
Pharmacist Practitioners (CPPs) and Primary Care Providers (PCP: physician,
family nurse practitioner, and physician assistant) compared to those just
receiving care from PCPs. Methods: This was a retrospective matched cohort
analysis. Each cohort was matched by gender, age, and disease states of
interest. There were 130 patients total, 65 in each cohort, seen at the
University of North Carolina outpatient clinics between November 2008 and
November 2011. The primary endpoint was average medication cost per day per
patient determined by the average wholesale price (AWP) of prescribed
medications. The secondary endpoint was average number of therapy changes per
year per patient. Results: There was no statistical difference in the average
medication cost per day per patient in the CPP cohort versus PCP cohort
($38.52 vs. $38.23, respectively; p = 0.97). Patients managed by CPPs
experienced a higher average number of therapy changes per year compared to
patients only managed by PCPs (21.1 vs. 15.5, respectively; p = 0.032).
Conclusions: CPPs utilized within the healthcare team did not result in an
increased medication cost despite being correlated with more therapy changes.

description: Second semester University: Panteion University, Athens
description: This thesis provides a research on unaccompanied minors in Turkey and Greece. Children, who travel the borders without a family member, are in an extremely vulnerable position. Especially after the latest refugee flows, Turkey became the country hosting the most refugees in the world and Greece turned into one of the two hotspots within the EU borders. In addition to that, since these countries are the main implementing actors of the EU-Turkey Statement, their roles have gained even more importance in the protection of refugees. Within the scope of the thesis, both relevant legislations of the respective countries and implementation of the legislations have been examined to understand whether unaccompanied minors are protected or in law and practice. In order to conclude, that both legislations and their impelementation of should be enhanced in both countries.
Radiopaque Iodine-containing Bone Cement
Creators: name: Nguyen, Hung
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: An iodine-containing, intrinsically radioopaque copolymer was prepared with the potential to be
formulated into acrylate-based bone cement; current bone cements are synthesized from methyl
methacrylate (MMA) and employ inorganic additives for sufficient contrast, thereby weakening
the mechanical properties of the material. Iodine was covalently incorporated into the material
via a novel monomer, 3-iodo-2,2-bis(iodomethyl)propyl methacrylate (IIPMA). Copolymers of
MMA and IIPMA were synthesized by solution polymerization, yielding products with easily
tunable molecular weights (from 100,000 to 450,000 g/mol) and low polydispersity (~1.50). The
polymerized material was also easily scalable in iodine content, ranging from 17% to 48 wt%.
Polymer microspheres were then fabricated using solvent evaporation, and these spheres can be
directly employed as the powder portion of the bone cement.

description: Second semester University: University of Seville.
description: Cases of indigenous women being trafficked for the purpose of sexual exploitation are reported all over the world. Although evidence within the existing literature suggests a link between ethnicity and susceptibility to human trafficking, there is a lack of research on this correlation. By presenting the different systems of oppression of indigenous women, this paper explores the impact of the representation of indigenous women as “others” on their actual vulnerability to trafficking. It addresses the specific root causes deriving from this concept, such as contemporary exoticism, cultural practices, and processes of dispossession. The methods of this research are qualitative, as information has been mainly by secondary data, such as books, published articles, and reports from non-governmental organisations. This research aims at rising awareness on this issue in order to achieve a better prevention of trafficking of indigenous women.
Caste Discrimination in the United Kingdom: Identifying Parliamentary Patterns in a Movement to Secure Caste in Equality Legislation
Creators: name: Stotesbery, Katherine Anne
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: In India, caste-based discrimination is constitutionally prohibited. Among western
nations with large Indian populations, however, not one has implemented a law prohibiting caste discrimination. This thesis examines the reasons that Members of Parliament (MPs) in the United Kingdom supported, or declined to support, a movement to prohibit caste discrimination in law. When politicians discussed legislation to prohibit caste discrimination in 2012 and 2013, the Indian community was split on the issue; the Hindu lobby rallied fiercely against it, even as low-caste advocacy groups pushed it forward. Language outlawing caste discrimination was provisionally passed in 2013 but not implemented, as of 2017. The central debates on the issue have come to be seen as a landmark case study on caste legislation outside of India. Despite this attention, how average citizens stood on the issue—and why MPs mobilized—remained opaque. This study serves a twofold purpose. The first is to determine the demographic and political factors that influenced Members of Parliament to vocally support caste legislation. I
examine whether the percent of Indians in a constituency, the MP’s ethnicity, or Labour party identification is the strongest predictor of vocal support. Vocal support is advocacy for the caste legislation movement, expressed through signing an Early Day Motion or advocating for legislation through debate. I also examine voting patterns in a 2013 Lords amendment to add caste to the 2010 Equality Act. The second goal of the study is to lay the groundwork for future research into how and if Western nations interpret and legislate against discrimination on the basis of sub-ethnic groups. I find that the percentage of Indian constituents an MP has is the single strongest influence on an MP’s probability of strongly supporting the caste legislation movement. Representing a constituency in the top decile of Indian population increased MPs’ probability of vocal support twofold from the mean.

description: There is a discrepancy between developmental science’s knowledge on maturity and the willingness of some Council of Europe Member States to adopt it in their jurisprudence, manifested in a low minimum criminal age of responsibility (MCAR) and in the decisions of the courts. It has been shown that psychological maturity related human development (somatic, cognitive and psycho-social) occur beyond the legal age of responsibility, i.e. the minimum criminal age. The multidisciplinary analysis - the legal, criminological, and developmental science point of view - of three UK cases, which have got judgment from the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), indicate that the ECtHR and UK judiciary weighs more heavily towards retribution, deterrence, and protection of public, than towards emphasis on rehabilitation of young offenders together with reintroducing to society. The rehabilitation approach would be economically less costly for the society in the long term in minor youth crimes. The literature examined suggests that adolescents demonstrate adult levels of cognitive capability earlier (around 15-16 years old) than they evince emotional and social maturity (developing up to 28-30 years old). Disseminating this knowledge to Council of Europe Member States is seen as a priority with a suggestion of revising the MACR.

High-field/high-frequency EPR spectroscopy in protein research: principles and examples

Publisher: name: TU Dortmund
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 530

description: During the last decades, the combined efforts of biologists, chemists, and physicists in developing high-field/high-frequency EPR techniques and applying them to functional proteins have demonstrated that this type of magnetic resonance spectroscopy is particularly powerful for characterizing the structure and dynamics of stable and transient states of proteins in action on biologically relevant time scales ranging from nanoseconds to hours. The review article describes how high-field EPR methodology, in conjunction with site-specific isotope and spin-labeling strategies, is capable of providing new insights into fundamental biological processes. Specifically, we discuss the theoretical and instrumental background of continuous-wave and pulse high-field EPR and the multiple-resonance extensions EDNMR, ENDOR, TRIPLE, ESEEM, PELDOR, and RIDME. Some emphasis is placed on a balanced description of both the historical spadework and the achieved performance of advanced EPR at 95 GHz and 360 GHz. This culminates in a coherent treatment of state-of-the-art research of high-field EPR in terms of both instrumentation development and application to representative protein complexes such as cofactor binding sites in photosynthesis.

description: Increasing greenhouse gas emissions are likely to impact not only natural systems but economies worldwide. If these impacts alter future economic development, the financial losses will be significantly higher than the mere direct damages. So far, potentially aggravating investment responses were considered negligible. Here we consistently incorporate an empirically derived temperature-growth relation into the simple integrated assessment model DICE. In this framework we show that, if in the next eight decades varying temperatures impact economic growth as has been observed in the past three decades, income is reduced by ~ 20% compared to an economy unaffected by climate change. Hereof ~ 40% are losses due to growth effects of which ~ 50% result from reduced incentive to invest. This additional income loss arises from a reduced incentive for future investment in anticipation of a reduced return and not from an explicit climate protection policy. Under economically optimal climate-change mitigation, however, optimal investment would only be reduced marginally as mitigation efforts keep returns high.

description: Structured light, which exhibits nontrivial intensity, phase, and polarization patterns in space, has key applications ranging from imaging and 3D micromanipulation to classical and quantum communication. However, to date, its application to molecular chirality has been limited by the weakness of magnetic interactions. Here we structure light’s local handedness in space to introduce and realize an enantio-sensitive interferometer for efficient chiral recognition without magnetic interactions, which can be seen as an enantio-sensitive version of Young’s double slit experiment. Upon interaction with isotropic chiral media, such chirality-structured light effectively creates chiral emitters of opposite handedness, located at different positions in space. We show that if the distribution of light’s handedness breaks left-right symmetry, the interference of these chiral emitters leads to unidirectional bending of the emitted light, in opposite directions in media of opposite handedness, even if the number of the left-handed and right-handed emitters excited in the medium is exactly the same. Our work introduces the concepts of polarization of chirality and chirality-polarized light, exposes the immense potential of sculpting light’s local chirality, and offers novel opportunities for efficient chiral discrimination, enantio-sensitive optical molecular fingerprinting and imaging on ultrafast time scales.

description: Extracorporeal lung assist technology is one of the last options in critical care medicine to treat patients suffering from severe oxygenation and decarboxylation disorders. Platelet activation along with the consequent thrombus formation is a potentially life-threatening complication of this technique. To avoid platelet-dependent clot formation, this study aims at developing a microfluidic cell sorting chip that can bypass platelets prior to the membrane oxygenator of the extracorporeal lung assist device. The cell sorting chips were produced by maskless dip-in laser lithography, followed by soft lithography replication using PDMS. Citrated porcine whole blood with a clinically relevant haematocrit of 17% was used for the cell sorting experiments involving three different blood flow rates. The joint effects of flow focusing and hydrodynamic lifting forces within the cell sorting chip resulted in a reduction of up to 57% of the baseline platelet count. This cell sorting strategy is suitable for the continuous and label-free separation of red blood cells and platelets and is potentially applicable for increasing the biocompatibility and lifetime of current extracorporeal lung assist devices.

description: Second semester University: Utrecht University.
description: The role played by whistleblowers in society is bigger and more influential than ever before. Whistleblowers represent a necessary means for society to receive information on matters of public interest. It is therefore crucial to provide adequate protection for persons who report on such matters. This thesis seeks to define the role and function of whistleblowers, and discusses the competing interests at stake in order to determine in which situations whistleblowers should enjoy protection. The approach to whistleblower protection taken by the Council of Europe and the European Union will then be described to show the state of the current climate for whistleblower protection in Europe. Finally, the protection level given by the Council of Europe and the European Union will be analysed to understand whether these standards live up to the interests of society for protecting whistleblowers

Hypercarb Columns for Urinary Metabolite Separation
Creators: name: Imes, Emily
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Separations of polar compounds can be challenging due to inadequate retention on common stationary phases. Selected urinary metabolites will be examined on Hypercarb porous graphitic carbon columns. These columns are more effective in separating polar compounds than traditional C18 columns due to complex retention mechanisms. Retention is important in determining efficiency of separation and peak capacity. Retention of these metabolites will first be characterized on Hypercarb and C18 columns using HPLC. Various concentrations of water and methanol will be used to compare retention at various mobile phase conditions. The metabolites will then be characterized using stop flow experiments on HPLC columns. Stop flow rates are useful in calculating the diffusion of compounds on the stationary phase. Diffusion also plays a role in separation efficiency and peak broadening. These experiments will inform further studies on UHPLC-MS for metabolomics of human urine samples.
Fibronectin promotes directional persistence in fibroblast migration through interactions with both its cell-binding and heparin-binding domains

description: The precise mechanisms through which insoluble, cell-adhesive ligands induce and regulate directional cell migration remain obscure. We recently demonstrated that elevated surface density of physically adsorbed plasma fibronectin (FN) promotes high directional persistence in fibroblast migration. While cell-FN association through integrins α5β1 and αvβ3 was necessary, substrates that selectively engaged these integrins did not support the phenotype. We here show that high directional persistence necessitates a combination of the cell-binding and C-terminal heparin-binding domains of FN, but does not require the engagement of syndecan-4 or integrin α4β1. FN treatment with various fixation agents indicated that associated changes in fibroblast motility were due to biochemical changes, rather than alterations in its physical state. The nature of the coating determined the ability of fibroblasts to assemble endogenous or exogenous FN, while FN fibrillogenesis played a minor, but significant, role in regulating directionality. Interestingly, knockdown of cellular FN abolished cell motility altogether, demonstrating a requirement for intracellular processes in enabling fibroblast migration on FN. Lastly, kinase inhibition experiments revealed that regulation of cell speed and directional persistence are decoupled. Hence, we have identified factors that render full-length FN a promoter of directional migration and discuss the possible, relevant mechanisms.

CCSSE is administered during the spring academic term; all students over the age of 18 in credit-bearing classes or developmental education courses are eligible to participate in the survey. Students are instructed to consider their experiences over the whole academic year when completing CCSSE. Colleges have the choice of administering the survey online or in the classroom on paper. Colleges that opt to administer the paper survey are also offered the opportunity to invite their online-only students to complete the survey online. Data presented in this report were collected during the Spring 2022 term. Respondents included 82,824 students from 181 institutions across 41 states. In the main survey, students are asked to indicate the number of classes they took during the current academic term face-to-face in a classroom, online (a class which all instruction is online), and hybrid (a class that is a mixture of face-to-face and online instruction). Students who indicated they took online classes and did not indicate they took classes in either of the other two modalities were classified as online-only; all other students were classified as “not-online-only.”

description: Terrorism has never been popular in history at any point of time as it is now. International cooperation is developing around how to effectively prevent and combat terrorism. Especially after September 11, international institutions designed various conventions aiming at facilitating the ground for international cooperation in the fight against terrorism which is deemed necessary in the era of globalization. However, this faced serious obstacle because of lack of widely accepted definition of terrorism. Anti-terrorism laws flourished in the past decade and are increasingly becoming unpopular among civil liberty advocates and ordinary citizens because of the prolonged limitations they impose on fundamental human rights. How best to ensure security of a society is common dilemma democratic states are facing. This paper is a comparative study of two anti-terrorism legislations, currently being implemented in the United Kingdom and Ethiopia. Acknowledging the serious threat of terrorism these two countries are facing, the paper explored the influence these laws have on human rights protection in both countries. The study concludes that both legislations have exerted unnecessary pressure on the enjoyment of human rights and there are provisions included in both legislations in clear violation of international human rights law. Moreover, the study reached the conclusion that such laws affect human rights disproportionately in countries where law enforcement mechanisms are weak and rule of law is not solidly institutionalized. The extraordinary measures introduced in the name of „fighting terrorism‟ not only violate specific human rights but also weaken ordinary criminal justice system in effect destroying any chance of developing competent and reliable justice system for the future.

The focus of the analysis will be on the Palestinian Refugees question, by examining the underlying causes for their prolonged refugee status, in a significant violation of fundamental human rights, refugees law and international law conventions. This Thesis explores the factors contributing to the failure of the Middle East Peace process, it will examine the extent to which: the unbalanced power between Israel and the Palestinians; the lack of a binding force by the United Nations and the international community in applying a just solution to the plight of the Palestinian refugees , in which, it contravenes specific provisions of UN Resolution 194; the impact of the "Protection Gap" absence on Palestinian refugees; and finally, Israel's devolution and denial of refugees' right to return . The implications of these factors have been effecting the Palestinian refugees daily lives for 69 years today, both at the structural and personal levels - particularly, those the host countries -. The Thesis assess the effect possible scenarios vis-a-vis the international and humanitarian law that may have on the final outcome of the Peace Process, highlighting the importance of UN Resolution 194, in ameliorating the Palestinian refugees suffering and their extended period of uncertainty. Accordingly, it is argued that the improvement of the Palestinian Refugees living conditions should not be contingent upon a final peace agreement for the ongoing Palestine - Israeli conflict, the Palestinian people aspirations to self-determination, nor should it affect refugees aspirations to return in any future peace agreement.

Antisite defects are found to be favored in systems with substantial charge transfer across the interface, while Jahn-Teller distortions and itinerant ferromagnetism can prevent antisite defects and help stabilize atomically sharp interfaces. Our results enable identification of classes of systems that may be more and less susceptible to the formation of antisite defects and motivate experimental studies and further theoretical calculations to elucidate the local structure and stability of oxide interface systems.

Criminal Justice Reentry Programs in Durham County and Orange County, North Carolina: An Exploratory Case Study
Creators: name: Genua, Devon
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: An overwhelming majority of incarcerated people in the U.S. eventually return to their
communities, but many are unable to successfully transition into productive and self-sufficient
citizens. In order to prevent recidivism, it is important for former offenders to have access to
services that help them combat and overcome obstacles to successful reentry. Reentry programs
provide a wide range of services, such as vocational skills, connection with employers, housing,
and treatment for those with substance use disorders, among other things. State and local
governments provide some services, but many jurisdictions rely on community-based
organizations to fill in service gaps.
In North Carolina, community-based organizations administer reentry programs. The
North Carolina Department of Corrections’ Office of Transition Services Transition and Reentry
Model expects that as individuals reenter society, they will have “involvement with mentors and
local community support networks, gainful employment and self-sufficiency,” (NC Department
of Corrections Office of Transition Services, n.d.).
This is an exploratory case study intended to examine how well local service providers
align their programs with state and federal recommendations and also seeks to identify areas
where public policy can improve the effectiveness of those local providers. Interviews with and
surveys of local service providers will help answer those questions.

Here we report observations of an asymmetric, filamentary structure at z = 2.47 containing seven starbursting, submillimeter-luminous galaxies and five additional AGN within a comoving volume of 15000 Mpc$^{3}$. As the expected lifetime of both the luminous AGN and starburst phase of a galaxy is ~100 Myr, we conclude that these sources were likely triggered in rapid succession by environmental factors, or, alternatively, the duration of these cosmologically rare phenomena is much longer than prior direct measurements suggest. The stellar mass already built up in the structure is $\sim10^{12}M_{\odot}$ and we estimate that the cluster mass will exceed that of the Coma supercluster at $z \sim 0$. The filamentary structure is in line with hierarchical growth simulations which predict that the peak of cluster activity occurs rapidly at z > 2.

Exercise-Related Talk, Social Comparison, and Body Dissatisfaction
Creators: name: Foard, Dakota A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Although prior research has demonstrated a link between appearance-related talk and
disordered eating attitudes and behaviors, almost nothing is known about the role of
exercise-related talk. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between
exercise-related talk and the tendency to engage in exercise comparison with regard to
disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. We examined the interaction of several
variables pertaining to exercise-related talk and the tendency to engage in exercise
comparison in identifying levels of body dissatisfaction and dietary restraint. Participants
were 441 undergraduate females from a large, public university in the Southeastern
United States who completed a survey assessing each construct as well as demographic
information. Results indicated significant bivariate correlations between exercise-related
talk and body dissatisfaction as well as between exercise-related talk and dietary restraint.
Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to test interactions between
exercise-related talk and tendency to engage in exercise comparison in identifying levels
of body dissatisfaction and dietary restraint. No significant interactions were obtained
pertaining to body dissatisfaction, although there were significant interactions between
exercise-related talk variables and tendency to engage in exercise comparison in
identifying dietary restraint. This study demonstrates that there are important
relationships between exercise-related talk and levels of body dissatisfaction and dietary
restraint, warranting further research in this field.

description: In the past twenty years, the scope of humanitarian action has largely evolved after shortcomings were observed in the response to the Rwandan and Bosnian crises. As a result, the early 2000’s saw the integration of human security, rights-based approaches, empowerment and protection to programming activities, putting into question the strict application of humanitarian principles. However, the goal of humanitarian action — to save lives, alleviate human suffering, and preserve human dignity in times of armed conflict and manmade or natural disasters — requires the respect of these principles in order to secure access to the people in need: the discipline is still subject to limitations of its scope, but these limitations must be determined through a case-by-case approach. This research aims at finding out what the protection of mixed migrants living in or transiting through Libya entails for the scope of humanitarian action. It firstly looks into the personal scope of humanitarian action: mixed migration flows are composed by refugees, and other forcibly displaced people, but also by economic migrants — which are not traditionally considered as subjects of humanitarian assistance. This variety of profiles calls for new narratives justifying the protection of all these different groups. In a second chapter, the research looks into the material scope of humanitarian action, in order to understand what is the role and what are the tools of humanitarian actors in order to protect migrants against the dangerous threats to their physical and mental integrity they often encounter in Libya.

description: S.Sudan is the world‟s youngest state having seceded from Sudan in 2011. The state, comprised of over 60 nations (ethnicities) is presently dominated by 2 ethnic groups (Dinka and Nuer). Nonetheless, the Dinka reign supreme having established a “Dinkocracy”.Distressingly, the Dinka and Nuer are profoundly polarised. The state has a bloody inter-ethnic conflict history especially between the Dinka and the Nuer in addition to tribalism, marginalisation and exclusion. The economy is in shambles. The government has failed to assert its authority throughout the country. Sudan sabotages S.Sudanese progress. A bulk of the population is traumatised from war and human rights violations as countless ”extremist” ethnic militias armed to the teeth roam the country. These factors provide the ideal climate for the precipitation of genocide. An alleged coup d‟état in December 2013 exposed the state‟s vulnerability to genocide. It triggered a genocidal state-wide conflict. Uganda‟s military intervened early and arguably prevented widescale genocide. This paper applies data representative of the dynamics and realities in S.Sudan to the Stages of genocide formulated by scholars to portray the country‟s susceptibility to genocide. The paper argues for meaningful interventions from Bystanders especially the “international community” since its best positioned to spearhead S.Sudan‟s insulation from genocide and bears a responsibility to do so.
Quantum Gravity Constraints from Unitarity and Analyticity

description: We derive rigorous bounds on corrections to Einstein gravity using unitarity and analyticity of graviton scattering amplitudes. In $D\geq 4$ spacetime dimensions, these consistency conditions mandate positive coefficients for certain quartic curvature operators. We systematically enumerate all such positivity bounds in $D=4$ and $D=5$ before extending to $D\geq 6$. Afterwards, we derive positivity bounds for supersymmetric operators and verify that all of our constraints are satisfied by weakly-coupled string theories. Among quadratic curvature operators, we find that the Gauss-Bonnet term in $D\geq 5$ is inconsistent unless new degrees of freedom enter at the natural cutoff scale defined by the effective theory. Our bounds apply to perturbative ultraviolet completions of gravity.

Effectively nonlocal metric-affine gravity

description: In metric-affine theories of gravity such as the C-theories, the spacetime connection is associated to a metric that is nontrivially related to the physical metric. In this article, such theories are rewritten in terms of a single metric and it is shown that they can be recast as effectively nonlocal gravity. With some assumptions, known ghost-free theories with non-singular and cosmologically interesting properties may be recovered. Relations between different formulations are analysed at both perturbative and nonperturbative levels taking carefully into account subtleties with boundary conditions in the presence of integral operators in the action, and equivalences between theories related by nonlocal redefinitions of the fields are verified at the level of equations of motion. This suggests a possible geometrical interpretation of nonlocal gravity as an emergent property of non-Riemannian spacetime structure.

description: Religious diversity: a phenomenon with which liberal immigrant societies are faced in different societal layers, including, and maybe predominantly in educational settings. Given the latter’s correlation with the personal development and identity of students in particular, and societal integration more general, how educational institutions accommodate religious diversity of students seems a question worthwhile of closer examination. To that end, the first part of the present dissertation consists of a conceptual-theoretical analysis of the notion of reasonable accommodation and its underpinning principles of material equality, the freedom of religion and inclusive education, thereby attempting to give an answer to the question: “accommodating diversity in general, and educational religious diversity in particular: what, why, when and who?” Given the dissertation’s focus on public educational institutions, possible tensions between religious accommodation and the principle of state neutrality will also be examined. As an indispensable corollary to the first part, the second part concretises the former through practical illustrations from Dutch soil, in turn attempting to give an answer to the question: “accommodating educational religious diversity: how?”. The present dissertation combines theory and practice, a sine qua non for an integral comprehension of the topical and heated debate on religious accommodation. Though the analysis is conducted mainly from a legal perspective, given the pervasive and inextricably connection between religious accommodation and fundamental societal questions, it is both unavoidable and inspiring that broader philosophical and sociological perspectives be included where needed.

Evolving Relationship between Oil and Corn under Structural Changes
Creators: name: Tian, Zijun
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: This paper focuses on the better estimation of the correlation between oil and corn with
Realized Beta GARCH model, the first moment Granger Causality test on the prices of oil
and corn, and the second moment causality test on the volatilities and returns of oil and corn.
Since the past decade has witnessed the ever-fast development in biofuel production and
increasing volatilities in the markets, I further perform Bai and Perron Procedure to detect
possible structural breaks from 2004 to 2014 and use impulse response functions to help draw
insight into the changing causal relationships in the price levels. I find that the correlation
between oil and corn nearly doubled during the financial crisis and then resumes back to the
normal level about 0.2. However, the statistically significant causal relationship from oil
prices to corn prices detected in the prior crisis period cannot be found later as a result of
higher volatilities and nonexistent arbitrage. The second moment causality test on the
volatilities confirms our hypothesis that knowing the information on the returns of oil at time
t can help predict the volatilities of corn at time t+1.
