Networking and care: helping young people with mental health problems through outreach and ehealth

The aim of this project is to develop a mobile app which facilitates access to mental health services and treatments for young people with mental health problems; and to assess its feasibility, acceptability and potential clinical and cost-effectiveness. If successful, the app would: (1) increase access to mental health care by providing links to relevant existing services; (2) increase access to relevant evidence-based mobile health interventions and to address barriers to care and (3) allow individuals to review services they have used and provide feedback which can be accessed by other app users.

Insufficient awareness of available services and treatments and how to access them, and the stigma associated with using treatment, are two of the most significant barriers to mental health care for young people. As part of the ongoing ERC  APPLAUSE project, we have already collected data from a prospective community cohort of young people and found that among those with mental health problems, 40% wanted help but were not aware of how to get it. Thus, despite perceived need, many young people fail to find support.

The ERC APPLAUSE project cohort provides us with a unique opportunity to understand how and whether the app can change service use patterns. We will randomise cohort participants with mental health problems to intervention and control conditions in order to understand changes in service use in addition to estimating short- and long-term economic impacts associated with the app intervention.

Treatment can enormously improve outcomes for young people with mental health problems. Mental health problems experienced by young people can have many and often serious adverse effects, both early on and across the life-course. This app could help improve access to intervention and support, and hence alter developmental trajectories in a way that could improve the lives of these individuals and generate immediate as well as longer-term societal and economic benefits.

Microstructure encryption and decryption techniques in optical variable and invariable devices in printed documents for security and forensic applications

Today, document counterfeiting is a global menace because of the advanced technologies available at ever decreasing prices. Instead of eschew the paper documents; applying efficient cost effective security methodologies are the feasible solutions. This paper reports a novel cost effective and simple optical technique using micro text encrypted optical variable device (OVD) threads, ultra-violet (UV) based optical invariable device (OID) patterns and artistic fonts for secure preparation of the documents and its forensic application. Applying any one of the above technique or together can effectively enhance the level of security of the most valuable document. The genuineness of the documents can be verified using simple decryption techniques.

Ultrashort pulsed laser processing at 1 kilowatt using a flexible multi beam approach

The overall objective of the MultiFlex project is to open a market within the European manufacturing sector for high speed Ultra-Short Pulse (USP) processing using kilowatt average laser power and individually modulated multi-beams. 
At present Ultra-Short-Pulse-processes are cost-effective only for some specific industrial applications. With commercial available USP-laser-sources and scanning systems contradictory demands regarding precision, flexibility and throughput are often not satisfied simultaneously. Either the available beam power is too small to achieve the desired and necessary throughput, or - in most cases - the high power cannot be applied for achieving high precision high quality processing. The MultiFlex project will overcome this obstacle and pave the way for a widespread, cost-effective application of USP-lasers in industrial manufacturing.
The basic idea behind MultiFlex is to setup a high power “USP laser-dot-matrix-printer”, which consists of a newly developed high power ultrashort pulsed laser with an output power of more than 1 kilowatt and a flexible multi beam optics concept. 
Besides the high average power, the laser source provides pulse durations in the femtosecond regime to ensure highest possible process efficiency and quality. The development of a fast, flexible and robust control of the laser pulses is mandatory to ensure highest possible precision. 
The high power laser beam is split into a matrix of multi-beams. By enabling the flexible switching of the separated single beams and a control system for compensating field distortions, arbitrary surface structures can be generated with highest precision and throughput. 
The USP-laser-dot-matrix-printer developed within MultiFlex will be evaluated on several demonstrator parts as well as in two industrial use cases provided by associated industrial partners (Continental AG & Volkswagen AG).
Electronic valves

An electronic valve includes a shell electrode which is mounted on a support in such a way as to provide a good continuous electrical contact therewith. The base of the shell electrode is flared and mates with a tapered portion of the support, and is held in contact therewith by means of a clamp.
Structure of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brushes and steric stability of their grafted cellulose nanocrystal dispersions

Thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (poly(NIPAAm)) brushes were grafted from the surface of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) via living radical polymerization (LRP) using different initiator and monomer concentrations. The dry film thickness of the poly(NIPAAm) layer around CNC was calculated based on Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. The wet film thicknesses of grafted poly(NIPAAm) brushes in water were calculated to be 15 and 9nm for NIPAAm-CNC-1 and NIPAAm-CNC-2, respectively. Grafted chain densities and wet film thicknesses at below and above the critical temperature (T=34°C) of polyNIPAAm were calculated by applying mean-field analytical theory. The non-ionic poly(NIPAAm) brushes screened the surface charges of CNC particles, leading to a significant decrease in the absolute zeta potential values for the poly(NIPAAm) grafted CNCs compared to the unmodified and initiator modified CNC samples. Nevertheless, the colloidal stability of poly(NIPAAm) grafted CNC particles were still maintained by steric stabilization below the critical temperature On the other side, hydrophobic attractions among poly(NIPAAm) grafted CNC rods above 34°C lead to coagulation and phase separation. While both poly(NIPAAm) grafted CNC samples showed thermo-responsive behavior, the reversibility of this temperature triggered property was dependent on grafting density.
The roots of responsibility: metaphysics, humanity, and society

Philosophical research on responsibility today stems from early modern debates about causal necessity and freedom of the will, and ultimately from the Stoic problem of reconciling ethics with physics.  It is therefore mainly focused on scepticism about the existence of free will and on the question whether moral responsibility is compatible with physical determinism.  The main premises of this project are that this focus is too narrow, and that the traditional problems can only be solved with a deeper understanding of the network of human capacities responsibility involves and the social and interpersonal context in which questions about responsibility arise.  This in turn depends on a wide range of philosophical and scientific research that has been neglected in debates about determinism, responsibility and free will, in particular, legal theory, where the literature on the relationships between responsibility, liability and culpability is more sophisticated and more nuanced than it is in philosophy; biological systems theory, which has shown how the activity of more complex systems can harness stochasticity in the activity of the less complex systems of which they are composed; and the philosophy of action, in which the physical, psychological, ethical and intellectual dimensions of human agency are now more clearly articulated and better understood.  The Roots of Responsibility will draw on all of these resources, in order to develop a comprehensive theory of responsibility, which cuts across traditional boundaries between metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and philosophy of law.  It will foster collaborative research in these branches of philosophy, and include expertise in psychology and theoretical biology at the relevant stages.
Viruela símica, una infección emergente desatendida.

El virus de la viruela símica estrechamente relacionado al virus de la viruela humana, es una zoonosis endémica de África occidental y central. En los seres humanos, la infección puede provocar una enfermedad similar a la viruela humana, aunque de menor severidad, pese a ello se asocia a una letalidad reportada variable desde menos del 1% al 11%. La transmisión se produce principalmente a través de gotitas respiratorias o contacto directo con el exudado de lesiones. La transmisión persona a persona está bien descrita, tanto comunitaria como nosocomial. El cuadro clínico se caracteriza por un pródromo de fiebre, al cual se agrega exantema y linfadenopatía. Dentro de las complicaciones se pueden incluir neumonía, encefalitis y queratitis. No existe un tratamiento aprobado establecido, aunque se incluyen estrategias en base a antivirales y vacunas.
Reinforcing Stigmatization: Coverage of Mental Illness in Spanish Newspapers

Because the media influences society's perceptions of reality, the treatment of mental illness in the news can have an effect on the societal stigma related to it. This study aimed to analyze the content and form of news items related to mental illness in Spanish newspapers in order to understand their role in propagating or attenuating stereotypes, prejudices, and stigma. The authors conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study on the basis of a review of news items related to mental illness appearing in the Spanish print media. A sample was taken from articles published on the subject in the 20 Spanish newspapers with the widest circulations over the course of the year 2010. Formal elements and content were analyzed by means of a structured evaluation system. The authors analyzed 695 news items. The content of 47.9% (n = 333) of the articles was not strictly related to mental illness, but rather clinical or psychiatric terms were used metaphorically, and frequently in a pejorative sense. The remaining 52.1% (n = 362) consisted of news items related specifically to mental illness. Of these, news items linking mental illness to danger were the most common (178 texts, 49.2%), specifically those associating mental illness with violent crime (130 texts, 35.9%) or a danger to others (126 texts, 34.8%). The results confirm the hypothesis that the press treats mental illness in a manner that encourages stigmatization. The authors appeal to the press's responsibility to society and advocate an active role in reducing the stigma towards mental illness.
Rare-earth doped transparent ceramics for spectral filtering and quantum information processing

Homogeneous linewidths below 10 kHz are reported for the first time in high-quality Eu3+ doped Y 2O3 transparent ceramics. This result is obtained on the 7F0→5D0 transition in Eu3+ doped Y 2O3 ceramics and corresponds to an improvement of nearly one order of magnitude compared to previously reported values in transparent ceramics. Furthermore, we observed spectral hole lifetimes of ∼15 min that are long enough to enable efficient optical pumping of the nuclear hyperfine levels. Additionally, different Eu3+ concentrations (up to 1.0%) were studied, resulting in an increase of up to a factor of three in the peak absorption coefficient. These results suggest that transparent ceramics can be useful in applications where narrow and deep spectral holes can be burned into highly absorbing lines, such as quantum information processing and spectral filtering.
Evolutionary trends in morphological diversity: new comparative tools for high-dimensional data

In almost 525 million years, the vertebrates have evolved a vast diversity of morphologies. Yet, understanding how these morphological changes accrue over large (macroevolutionary) time scales is still poorly known. Research into morphological evolution has so far either focused on a handful of today’s successful clades, therefore omitting a major part of the diversity represented in the fossil record, or substituted the complex multi-dimensions of organismal form for simple univariate measures such as body-size. Given that such traits may relate to various aspects of species ecology and life history, it is difficult to identify the environmental, functional, genetic or development factors that drive the evolution of this diversity. Hence, a comprehensive, multivariate characterization of morphology across both fossil and extant species is hugely needed for understanding the evolution of vertebrate diversity but is currently limited by data availability and methodological shortcomings.
     In this project I will use newly available multivariate, high-quality, datasets of shape (CT and surface scans, 3-D surface morphometrics) for an unprecedented sample of both fossil and extant terrestrial vertebrates and develop new multivariate phylogenetic comparative methods to study the evolution of morphological diversity. Through the EVOTOOLS project, I will provide to the other researchers the phylogenetic comparative toolkit for studying modern, high-dimensional 3-D data and address long-standing questions regarding species evolutionary responses to past environmental and climatic changes. In addition, the project will benefit from the expertise of the NHM staff and a highly respected expert in morphometric studies to characterize the evolution of morphology. The candidate will learn and develop cutting-edge methods, hone his skills for managing data, and strengthen experience with scientific presentations, writing, and publishing.
Smart fuzzing method for detecting stack‐based buffer overflow in binary codes

During the past decades several methods have been proposed to detect the stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability, though it is still a serious threat to the computer systems. Among the suggested methods, various fuzzers have been proposed to detect this vulnerability. However, many of them are not smart enough to have high code-coverage and detect vulnerabilities in feasible execution paths of the program. The authors present a new smart fuzzing method for detecting stack-based buffer overflows in binary codes. In the proposed method, concolic (concrete + symbolic) execution is used to calculate the path and vulnerability constraints for each execution path in the program. The vulnerability constraints determine which parts of input data and to what length should be extended to cause buffer overflow in an execution path. Based on the calculated constraints, the authors generate test data that detect buffer overflows in feasible execution paths of the program. The authors have implemented the proposed method as a plug-in for Valgrind and tested it on three groups of benchmark programs. The results demonstrate that the calculated vulnerability constraints are accurate and the fuzzer is able to detect the vulnerabilities in these programs. The authors have also compared the implemented fuzzer with three other fuzzers and demonstrated how calculating the path and vulnerability constraints in the method helps to fuzz a program more efficiently.
PLD.53 Using clinical experience to elicit the components of a skilled and safe operative delivery

<h3></h3> Reduced working hours and increased caesarean delivery rates have resulted in less exposure to intricate deliveries by obstetrics trainees. Though trainees may not be exposed to these deliveries as part of their training, conversely they may be expected to be proficient in them once starting independent clinical practice. This study aims to identify the verbal and non-verbal components of three intricate deliveries – Kiellands, non-rotational and assisted breech. Labour and delivery nursing staff were asked to identify those clinicians who they considered to be particularly skilled in intricate deliveries. Those identified consistently were invited to participate in the study. With written consent participants were then videoed performing each type of delivery on a model in order to identify the verbal and non-verbal components of the delivery. Two clinicians reviewed videos. The initial summary was then circulated to all participants for their approval. Themes identified included the need for careful assessment of suitability, the role of the multidisciplinary team, need for careful and appropriate communication with the parents, the technique of delivery itself and postpartum care and documentation. Overall the clinicians balanced respect for the “elegant technique” of intricate deliveries with careful assessment and when to stop should safety criteria not be met. There is still a role for intricate deliveries in modern obstetric practice, and a need for good quality holistic training programs on how best to perform such deliveries. By identifying verbal and non-verbal components of skilled deliveries these can then be translated into an useful educational tool.
Expression and communication of doubt/uncertainty through facial expression

There is a wide debate on the mental state of doubt/uncertainty; one wonders whether it is a predominantly cognitive or emotional state of mind and whether typical facial expressions communicate doubt/uncertainty. To this purpose, through a role playing procedure, a large sample of expressions were collected and afterwards evaluated through a combination of encoding and decoding procedures, including also FACS (Facial Action Coding System) analysis. The results have partially confirmed our hypothesis, identifying two typical facial expressions of doubt/uncertainty, which share the same facial actions in the inferior part of the face and show differential facial actions in the upper face.
