Recovering normal: A qualitative study of grief following bereavement

This thesis explores the notion of 'recovery' from grief following bereavement and answers the question, what happens when people 'fail' to recover? Researchers and practitioners promote a linear, staged, 'normal course' of grief, yet people who fail to follow this course are understood as experiencing 'complicated grief': a form of psychiatric disorder. In particular, the thesis explores the debates and issues around the highly contested notion of recovery from grief, drawing on an analysis of the theory and policy of grief and recovery, and empirical qualitative interview data from bereavement care practitioners and bereaved people in England. Arguing for the acknowledgment of the experience of 'non-recovery', this thesis draws on a Foucauldian approach to problematise the notion of recovery, highlighting how 'recovery' is a socially constructed notion linked to the individualised vision of health and happiness promoted by neoliberal governmentality. The study concentrates on three areas: the political and cultural factors that 'frame' grief and recovery in England; how grief is managed, through the example of bereavement counselling, and the ways in which bereaved people make sense of grief. The findings of this study present the experience of grief as one of navigating a 'liminal space'. Recovery from grief was achieved or resisted through the negotiation of a variety of political, medical and social discourses. These discourses provided guidelines for the bereaved person, where they were encouraged to make sense of grief, engage in certain practices and work towards the building of new identities, in order to recover from grief. Further, through the incorporation of 'non-recovery' this study proposes an alternative way of theorising grief, arguing for the need to emphasise the relational and embodied aspects of grief.

When More Is Better: Multifamily Firms and Firm Performance

Does the presence of multiple and unrelated family controllers improve firm performance? Drawing on both agency and behavioral agency theories, we argue that multifamily firms outperform single-family firms since families in multifamily firms actively monitor owners’ socioemotional goals. Additionally, we suggest that a balanced distribution of control among the owning families facilitates the monitoring process. Finally, we argue that the focal relationship follows an inverted U-shaped pattern depending on the number of families controlling the firm. We test our hypotheses using a sample of Chilean publicly listed family firms. Our study extends current knowledge of the uniqueness of multifamily firms.
Unified theory for a sheared gas–solid suspension: from rapid granular suspension to its small-Stokes-number limit

A non-perturbative nonlinear theory for moderately dense gas–solid suspensions is outlined within the framework of the Boltzmann–Enskog equation by extending the work of Saha & Alam (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 833, 2017, pp. 206–246). A linear Stokes’ drag law is adopted for gas–particle interactions, and the viscous dissipation due to hydrodynamic interactions is incorporated in the second-moment equation via a density-corrected Stokes number. For the homogeneous shear flow, the present theory provides a unified treatment of dilute to dense suspensions of highly inelastic particles, encompassing the high-Stokes-number rapid granular regime ( $St\rightarrow \infty$ ) and its small-Stokes-number counterpart, with quantitative agreement for all transport coefficients. It is shown that the predictions of the shear viscosity and normal-stress differences based on existing theories deteriorate markedly with increasing density as well as with decreasing Stokes number and restitution coefficient.
Effects of Intensity-Specific Acute Exercise on Paired-Associative Memory and Memory Interference

The improvement of memory performance is an ever-growing interest in research, with implications in many fields. Thus, identifying strategies to enhance memory and attenuate memory interference is of great public health and personal interest. The objective of this paper was to evaluate the role of intensity-specific acute exercise on improving paired-associative memory function and attenuating memory interference. A counterbalanced, randomized controlled, within-subject experimental design was employed. The three counterbalanced visits included a control visit, moderate-intensity exercise (50% of HRR; heart rate reserve) and vigorous-intensity exercise (80% of HRR), all of which occurred prior to the memory assessment. To evaluate memory interference, an AB/AC paired-associative task was implemented for each laboratory visit. The number of correctly recalled words from List 1 (AB–DE) was statistically significantly (F = 4.63, p = 0.01, η2p = 0.205) higher for the vigorous-intensity condition (M = 6.53, SD = 1.54) as compared to moderate-intensity (M = 6.11, SD = 1.59) and control (M = 5.00, SD = 2.56) conditions. No statistical significance was found between proactive interference or retroactive interference across the experimental conditions. This experiment provides evidence for an intensity-specific effect of acute exercise on short-term, paired-associative memory, but not memory interference.

The Reluctance of Liver Transplant Participants with Alcoholic Liver Disease to Participate in Treatment for Their Alcohol Use Disorder: An Issue of Treatment Matching?

ABSTRACT Liver transplantation (LT) has increased the survival for participants with end-stage alcoholic liver disease (ALD), however more than 50% of ALD transplant patients return to alcohol use after LT. Despite medical referral and a number of clinical trials of standard alcohol interventions, participants who are ALD transplant patients are reluctant to use specialist alcohol programs to support their required abstinence. The aim of this study was to identify those factors contributing to treatment reluctance by participants who are ALD transplant patients. The authors conducted a prospective case-control study comparing 40 ALD transplant patients matched for age and sex with 40 alcohol treatment seekers on a number of demographic and clinical predictors associated with treatment seeking. The authors found that lengthy abstinence and a progressive stage of change profile by participants who are ALD transplant patients contributed toward alcohol treatment being perceived as unwarranted or not needed. Furthermore, the ALD group differed significantly to those who would typically utilize alcohol treatment on a number of other clinical variables suggesting that standard alcohol interventions are not well tailored to the ALD transplant population. Two major barriers to help seeking among ALD transplant patients included the potential for stigma and limited access to alcohol services. Based on these findings, an individualized stepped-care alcohol treatment approach taking into account the clinical characteristics and needs of ALD transplant participants is required. Alcohol treatment needs to be integrated with the medical transplant program and is recommended for responsiveness to the ongoing psychological and social needs of those at risk of relapsing.
Influences on healthcare providers' and parents' behaviours with respect to the use of antibiotics for children : an exploratory study in urban China

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health threat, with antibiotic resistance (ABR) increasing rapidly. In China, the high rate of antibiotic use is a key contributor to the country’s ABR problems, and the paediatric use of antibiotics by healthcare providers and parents has been identified as a particular challenge. However, limited research has examined providers’ and parents’ antibiotic-related behaviour, with particularly few qualitative studies having been conducted, and none in urban China. This research examines influences on healthcare providers’ and parents’ behaviour regarding the use of antibiotics for children in urban China. Methods: Informed by a review of English-language and Chinese-language studies, a qualitative study of healthcare providers and a multi-method study of parents were conducted in Chinese to explore factors influencing their antibiotic-related behaviour. The study site was Taiyuan city, a medium-sized city in central China. Qualitative data were transcribed verbatim, translated from Chinese to English, and analysed using framework analysis. Quantitative data were analysed using difference tests and regression analysis. Results: The two key influences on the paediatric antibiotic-related behaviour of healthcare providers were: (i) parental influences, including public understandings of disease and treatment within traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine, and maintaining trust and good relationships with parents, and (ii) the organisational context relating to China’s healthcare system and national policies. The main influences on the paediatric antibiotic-related behaviour of parents related to their lack of antibiotic-related knowledge, their understandings of TCM and Western medicine, and their access to and interactions with healthcare providers. Conclusions: Although it is a small-scale study located in one urban setting, this research highlights influences on healthcare providers’ and parents’ paediatric antibiotic-related behaviour operating from individual to organisational and cultural levels. Promoting more appropriate paediatric use of antibiotics in China will require better understanding of the provider-patient relationship and the wider cultural and healthcare contexts, especially in relation to the relative influence of TCM and Western medicine.
The Development of a Navier-Stokes Flow Solver with Preconditioning Method on Unstructured Grids

A finite volume, cell-centered, density-based flow solver on unstructured grids is developed. The Weiss & Smith precondition matrix is implemented for solving flows of incompressible and variable density fluids at all speeds. The AUSMDV (Advection Upstream Splitting Method) scheme with a second order reconstruction is given for the explicit Runge-Kutta and implicit Lower-Upper Symmetric Gauss-Seidel (LU-SGS) time integration methods. Results are presented for inviscid flows through a channel with a bump at various Mach numbers, driven flows in a square cavity and inviscid/viscous flows in a planar supersonic nozzle. The performance of the flow solver with and without preconditioning is illustrated. General solution enhancement and convergence acceleration for steady-state Navier-Stokes solutions are attained via the use of inviscid/viscous preconditioning. The ability of the solver in providing accurate steady-state solutions for transonic and low-speed flow of variable density fluids is demonstrated.

Prognostic value of health-related quality of life in elderly patients hospitalized with heart failure

Purpose: Previous research has shown that poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is associated with adverse long-term prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF); however, there have been inconsistencies among studies and not all of them confirmed the prognostic value of HRQOL. In addition, few studies involved elderly patients and most focused on all-cause mortality and HF-related hospitalization as outcomes. The aim of our study was to determine whether HRQOL is a predictor and an independent predictor of long-term cardiac mortality, all-cause mortality, and HF-related rehospitalization in elderly patients hospitalized with HF. Patients and methods: This prospective observational study included 200 elderly patients hospitalized with HF in Serbia. HRQOL was measured using the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure questionnaire (MLHFQ). The median follow-up period was 28 months. The primary outcome was cardiac mortality, and all-cause mortality and HF-related rehospitalization were secondary outcomes. Survival analysis was conducted using the Kaplan–Meier method and Cox-proportional hazards regression. Results: Subjects with poor HRQOL (higher than the median MLHFQ score) had a higher probability of cardiac mortality (P=0.029) and HF-related rehospitalization (P=0.001) during long-term follow-up. Poor HRQOL was an independent predictor of cardiac mortality (HR: 2.051, 95% CI: 1.260–3.339, P=0.004), all-cause mortality (HR: 1.620, 95% CI: 1.076–2.438, P=0.021), and HF-related rehospitalization (HR: 2.040, 95% CI: 1.290–3.227, P=0.002). Conclusion: HRQOL is an independent predictor of long-term cardiac mortality in elderly patients hospitalized with HF. It also independently predicts all-cause mortality and HF-related rehospitalization. HRQOL could be used as a complementary clinical predictive tool in this patient population.
Contribution oo the Theory and Practice of Generating RSA Algorithm Keys

The RSA cryptographic algorithm is widely used in data protection and electronic business. One of the most important parameter of the achieved level of security is the quality of the generated cryptographic keys with which the algorithm is applied. In this paper a few cases in which poorly generated RSA cryptographic keys caused dis-accreditation of the system are described. The recommendations and checks that must be fulfilled during generation of RSA algorithm cryptographic keys are formulated in order that keys were considered safe for implement on.

In this work, the statistics-based scoring method is adopted to provide risk assessment that offers risk profiling for every students, specifically on their ability to pay tuition fees. Risk mitigation and preventive measure are also proposed in this work.
Fiscal Decentralization or Centralization: Diverging Paths of Chinese Cities

If fiscal decentralization promotes growth, why do some regions decentralize more than others? This article identifies the growing divergence of fiscal centralization among Chinese cities and explains it in a public finance framework. It argues that fiscal decentralization and its economy‐liberalizing effect entail significant short‐term fiscal risk. The more a locality relies on uncompetitive business ownership for fiscal revenue, the less likely fiscal decentralization is to occur. This article compiles a dataset of 20 provincial capitals between 1999 and 2016 to test for the connection between a city's tax base and its fiscal centralization level. It then pairs two “most similar” cities to trace how fiscal security concerns drove their fiscal and economic policies apart. This article adds a micro‐level perspective to the literature on fiscal federalism. By pointing out the fiscal constraints confronting local governments, it offers a new angle to understand the different growth paths of Chinese cities.
Sraffa on Marshall’s theory of value in the Cambridge lectures: achievements in an unfinished criticism

Abstract In his Cambridge lectures, Sraffa criticised Marshall’s theory on the basis of the recognition of the incompatibility between classical political economy and marginalist economics. Preparing his lectures, Sraffa had also identified the need to determine prices and distribution simultaneously although some implications of this latter result were probably not yet fully evident to him. Sraffa still accepted the Marshallian thesis that classical political economy and marginalist economics identified two alternative “ultimate standards of value”. This position bears witness to Sraffa’s initial adherence to the Marshallian theoretical framework. The road towards Production of Commodities was open, but still unfinished.
Current Controversies in the Management of Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Despite significant improvements in the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma over the past 2 decades, physicians continue to face dilemmas in therapy for the disease, and many cured patients live with complications of treatment. Newer therapeutic options are still needed for the disease, to minimize complications and to improve the treatment of patients in relapse. This review considers the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma in younger patients, addressing such issues as which patients with early-stage disease may require radiotherapy, what prognostic factors provide information that can affect treatment choices in patients with advanced disease, and what we have learned about treatment complications in this setting.
Modeling the relationships between practitioner capacity-building practices and the behavior and development of young children with disabilities 
and delays

The manner in which family-centered capacity-building practices and parenting efficacy beliefs were directly and indirectly related to parent-child interactions and child behavior and development was investigated using meta-analytic structural equation modeling. The participants were 6507 caregivers of young children with identified disabilities and developmental delays in 13 studies. Results showed that capacity-building practices were directly related to parenting efficacy beliefs and indirectly related to parent-child interaction mediated by belief appraisals; parenting efficacy beliefs were directly related to parent-child interactions and indirectly related to child social competence mediated by parenting practices; and parent-child interactions were directly related to both child behavior and child development. Results also indicated these relationships were not moderated by parents’ education, severity of child disability, or frequency of practitioner-parent contacts. Implications for investigating the influences of social and family systems intervention practices on parent, family, and child outcomes of early childhood intervention are described. Key words: Family-centered practices, capacity-building, parenting efficacy, parenting practices, child social behavior, child cognitive development.
Map-Based Multipactor Theory for Cross-Field Devices

A novel theoretical model for multipactor discharge based on principles from nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory has been introduced and recently extended to two-surface multipactor in a parallel-plate geometry. A major advantage of this approach is that it is universal in that different systems can be studied by simply changing the underlying equations. In this paper, this is demonstrated for cross-field devices, where a dc magnetic field is transverse to the radio frequency (RF) electric field. As in the initial study, maps that relate the RF emission phase to the RF arrival phase are developed with no a priori assumptions on the electron trajectories (neglecting space-charge effects). By systematically applying the maps and scanning system parameters, bifurcation diagrams are constructed that summarize all possible multipactor modes. These scans recover conventional resonant multipactor in addition to high periodicity and nonresonant forms. By incorporating the secondary emission properties of the surface material and additionally scanning a realistic spread in the secondary emission energies and angles, the multipactor growth (or decay) rate is computed over a wide range of parameters. As in the initial study, it is found that the attractor form manifests in the exponential growth rate. These theoretical predictions are validated with particle-in-cell simulations.
On the Use of ON/OFF Traffic Models for Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Wireless Networks

The spatial and temporal distribution of active users across a given region greatly affects the activity of base stations (BSs) and the cumulative interference in a wireless network. In this letter, we propose a new approach for spatio-temporal analysis of wireless networks wherein stochastic geometry is used for the spatial domain and ON/OFF traffic models are used for the temporal domain. We illustrate the proposed approach through a mix of file transfer protocol (FTP) and video streaming (VS) traffic. With the aid of semi-Markov process, we derive the stationary probability for a given service request. Further, we develop a joint spatio-temporal model for the distribution of active users under a random BS.
