Authors: Kwan Isabelle , Tomlins Ally
Published: January 2025

In 2023, Nightingale Hammerson became the first UK care home charity to establish a clinical psychology team as permanent staff to provide psychological care for over 250 residents across two care homes. This marks a significant transition as care homes were previously supported by external psychology teams. The clinical psychology team is currently developing the UK’s first evidence-based psychological care model for care homes, adopting an integrative, systemic approach to address both individual and collective needs. The team offers individual therapy to residents, family members, and staff, with a focus on mental health assessments for new residents and therapeutic support for issues such as aging, bereavement, family dynamics, and emotional distress. Regular psychology groups provide psychoeducation and psychological support for residents, their family members, and volunteers. At the staff level, the psychology team provides staff training, reflective practice sessions, and well-being support through partnerships with various care home teams. It is hoped that these new initiatives offer insights into embedding psychosocial care in older adult settings.
Outcomes and interventions used by mental health and wellbeing practitioners in older adult services
Authors: Smithson Pablo , Stapleton Sally
Published: January 2025

Background:The mental health and wellbeing practitioner (MHWP) role was introduced in 2022 as a key part of the plan for expanding psychological support in secondary mental healthcare. The low-intensity interventions they are trained in can facilitate change and improved wellbeing among service users -with equivalent low-intensity support working well with older people in NHS talking therapies. However, up to now, there has been a lack of evidence for the efficacy of MHWPs with older people in secondary care.

Method:NHS Trusts have been encouraged to record the brief recovering quality of life questionnaire (ReQoL-10) at regular intervals. By accessing this data from Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust’s electronic patient record system, a pre-post evaluation indicated how scores change when older service users work with MHWPs. To complement this, MHWPs in both older adult and working age services were surveyed on which interventions were used.

Results:When MHWPs worked with older service users, clinically significant improvement (of five points or more) was recorded in 48% of paired scores. The most commonly used interventions for older people were behavioural activation and self-soothing.

Conclusion:This initial evaluation of MHWPs working with older people supports the use of low-intensity interventions in secondary care settings, but a larger follow-up evaluation is recommended.
A personal account of being a clinical associate psychologist in older adult services
Authors: Sargeant-Maynard Joshua
Published: January 2025

This article highlights the expanding role of Clinical Associate Psychologists (CAPs) within older adult mental health services, as showcased at the British Psychological Society’s FPOP conference. CAPs bridge critical gaps in psychological services, providing evidence-based, psychologically informed care that addresses the unique needs of older adults. Through comprehensive training in a specific clinical area and supervised practice, CAPs develop skills in assessment, therapeutic interventions, and collaborative multidisciplinary work. Their integration into Older Adult services in West Suffolk has alleviated workloads for psychology teams while enhancing service provision and accessibility for older adults. CAPs’ contributions have garnered positive feedback from colleagues, and ongoing research highlights their value in improving patient satisfaction, reducing waiting times, and supporting underserved communities. Despite the evolving nature of the role, CAPs are positioned as growing resources within the NHS, with potential for further career development and specialisation. This article underscores the meaningful impact of CAPs and their potential to shape the future of psychological services in the UK.

Research on Downhole Two-Phase Flow Parameter Measurement Method Based on Deep Neural Networks
Authors: Zhang Jian , Chen Kang
Published: January 2025

With the rapid development of the oil and gas industry, accurate measurement of downhole two-phase flow parameters has become particularly critical. However, traditional measurement methods face numerous challenges in complex downhole environments and cannot meet the modern industry's demands for high precision and real-time requirements. The flow behavior of downhole two-phase flows (such as oil-gas, water-gas, etc.) directly affects the production efficiency and safety of oil and gas wells. Measuring key parameters (such as flow rate, gas content, and flow pattern, etc.) is crucial for optimizing production processes, improving recovery rates, and ensuring wellbore safety. Traditional measurement methods, such as mechanical flowmeters and capacitance sensors, are easily affected by various factors such as temperature, pressure, and composition changes in complex downhole environments, leading to inaccurate measurement results. In addition, traditional methods usually require a long response time and cannot meet the modern industry's dual demands for real-time and high precision. Under these circumstances, researching a new, high-precision downhole two-phase flow parameter measurement method has become urgent. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, deep neural networks (DNN) offer a potential solution due to their powerful data processing and non-linear modeling capabilities. Applying deep neural networks to the measurement of downhole two-phase flow parameters can not only overcome the limitations of traditional methods but also significantly improve the accuracy and real-time performance of measurements, providing strong technical support for the oil and gas industry. Therefore, this paper proposes a downhole two-phase flow parameter measurement method that integrates deep neural networks, focusing on the research of multi-phase flow parameter measurement technology based on deep learning and its application in the production process of oil and gas wells. By constructing and optimizing models such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Networks (BI-LSTM), and Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN), this paper achieves efficient identification and parameter measurement of downhole two-phase flow pattern characteristics. Experimental results show that the integrated model can effectively predict key parameters of downhole two-phase flow under different working conditions, significantly improving measurement accuracy and robustness. This study not only provides a new solution for the measurement of downhole two-phase flow parameters but also has important significance for improving the automation level of measurement technology, reducing manual intervention, and reducing production costs. It further provides new ideas and methods for solving complex fluid flow problems in the energy field, with broad application prospects and profound practical value.

Does Human Capital Agglomeration Increase Firm Productivity?
Authors: Liao Jiayi
Published: January 2025

Human capital has become one of the most important indicators of a country's overall strength and development process in recent years. Based on the samples of listed companies from 2006 to 2020, this paper uses a fixed-effects model to explore the impact and mechanism of human capital agglomeration on firms' productivity. The study results show that human capital agglomeration significantly enhances the productivity of firms, i.e., the higher the level of human capital agglomeration in the city, the higher the productivity of firms. After the robustness test, the research conclusions are reliable. The mechanism shows that knowledge spillover and technological innovation, skill matching, and specialized production are the mechanisms through which human capital affects firms' productivity. Heterogeneity analysis shows regional, enterprise, and industry heterogeneity in the impact of human capital agglomeration on the productivity of firms. Accordingly, this paper provides exploratory suggestions on maximizing the positive effects of human capital agglomeration on firms' productive activities.
The Etiology and Treatments of Narcissistic Personality Disorder: A Systematic Review
Authors: Li Jun
Published: January 2025

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is considered a very complex mental health disorder influenced by different genetic, neurobiological, and environmental factors. Neurobiologically, abnormalities in brain regions within the prefrontal cortex and limbic system contribute to difficulties in emotional regulation and empathy. The environmental factor easily predisposing them to it comes in the form of childhood trauma or over-spoiling by parents. NPD is often comorbid with other personality disorders, such as borderline personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder, which makes the diagnosis even more complex. The treatments of NPD include psychodynamic therapy, in particular, transference-focused psychotherapy, cognitive-behavior techniques such as schema therapy, and the newest, which includes mentalization-based treatment. There also is the enormous challenge of engaging patients with NPD in therapy, given the typical features of resistance, such as grandiosity and ignorance of the true self. Because of this, future research on NPD, especially early intervention and elaboration, has become the expected and focused direction.

Research and Application of Personalized PDC Bits for Longmaxi Formation in Changning, Sichuan Basin
Authors: Fan Sicheng , Niu Shiwei , Li Yong , Ren Haitao , Li Yang , Li Yutong
Published: January 2025

The Longmaxi Formation in the Changning Block of the Sichuan Basin has a large reservoir thickness and is a high-quality shale for the main shale gas bearing target layer. However, problems such as high rock strength, high drillability level, and large horizontal drilling length in the Longmaxi Formation have led to rapid failure of the drill bit and slow ROP (Rate of Penetration). Research has found that almost all PDC drill bits used in this formation are foreign products, and the drill bits have failure due to core and external cone cutter impact. Therefore, in order to achieve the localization of Longmaxi formation drill bits and the goal of ‘one trip drilling’, personalized design and application of PDC drill bits are carried out. The rock mechanics property parameters of Changning Longmaxi Shale were obtained by obtaining rock samples on the spot and conducting rock mechanics property experiments. To solve the problem of external cone failure of foreign drill bits, the first generation of axe shaped PDC drill bits targeting the Longmaxi Formation were designed and developed. The average drilling speed of the first generation PDC drill bit is 7.4m/h, which exceeds most PDC drill bits abroad, but is still lower than the highest average drilling speed of foreign drill bits. In order to further improve the bit's invasion ability and directional stability, the profile shape and cutter arrangement of the first generation PDC bit were further optimized, and drilling simulation was conducted. After optimization, the bit's invasion ability and directional stability increased. After optimization, the drill bit footage was 2005m, with an average drilling speed of 10.77 m/h, which was 45% higher than before optimization, far exceeding the highest drilling speed abroad, and achieving the goal of ‘ne trip drilling’ for long horizontal sections. The successful application of this drill bit provides in-depth understanding and experience for increasing drilling speed in the Longmaxi Formation in Changning.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, Who’s the Most Authoritative of Them All? Cyber Sovereignty from a Critical Perspective
Authors: Moldovan Carmen
Published: January 2025

The paper aims to highlight the conflict between the idea of state control over the Internet and the impact on freedom of expression and access to information and to challenge the state-driven regulatory model. The doctrine of cyber sovereignty, as advocated by China and Russia, is an example of such control in the absence of international legally binding regulation. First, the special features of cyberspace as a sui generis phenomenon are presented, as well as the attempts of the United Nations to create a legal framework for this special environment. Second, the digital perspective of the right to access information is analysed, followed by the meaning of the principle of state sovereignty and the impact on the digital space, especially its fragmentation. Addressing this conflict is crucial to safeguarding fundamental rights in the digital empire, divided between the doctrine of human rights, the idea of open space and the control of information supported by authoritative regimes.
Sacred Obligations: On the Theopolitics of Debt and Sovereignty
Authors: Singh Devin
Published: January 2025

This chapter explores the triangulation among debt, slavery, and sovereignty, by asking what role theology plays in legitimating and challenging this nexus. Singh considers some of the archaic links between debt practices and the mobilization of enslaved labor seen at the inception of states in the ancient world, as well as the concomitant operation of sacred ideologies and theologies of debt slavery and debt cancellation. He explores the problematic inheritance of economic and political theologies in Christian thought which have served to undergird such regimes. He also tracks the tools for assessing the extent that these links remain active today and for refiguring this relation in more salutary directions.
Curating Futures: The Curatorial as a Theological Concept
Authors: Siedell Daniel A.
Published: January 2025

T.W. Adorno’s Aesthetic Theory begins, “It is self-evident that nothing concerning art is self-evident anymore, not its inner life, not its relation to the world, not even its right to exist.” As the world experiences political, economic, and ecological crises that verge on catastrophe, the art world appears irrelevant and complicit. Museums, galleries, international art fairs, and auctions become playgrounds for the global neo-liberal elites, who have facilitated and benefited from these crises.  However, this chapter argues that the art world and museums hold pockets of resistance and various sources of imaginative activism for the future. Although employing curatorial practice as theoretical framework is very recent, it has not been reflected on theologically. Curatorial practice is explored as a resource for activist theology and religious studies that extends beyond descriptions of reality to reimagining possibilities. The curatorial activism of Paola Antonelli, Senior Curator in the Department of Architecture & Design at the Museum of Modern Art, who has devoted her career to addressing ecological crises, provides an example of untapped resources, strategies, and inspiration for theologians and religious scholars who are committed to the utopian project of curating futures.
The Catholic Novel
Authors: Huey Annie
Published: January 2025

Katherine Kurz Burton (1887–1969) converted to Roman Catholicism on September 8, 1930, and soon became one of the most prolific Catholic writers of her time. This essay examines Burton’s life and writing from 1933 to 1942 when the topic of “literature” and its importance dominated her work. Her “Woman to Woman” column in The Sign, and especially the column’s book reviews, asserted that Catholics had a responsibility to spread the universal and timeless teachings of Catholicism through literature. Burton, as well as her fellow Catholic Literary Revivalists, maintained that only by following Church teaching could the world, recently torn asunder by depression, war, materialism, modernism, and Communism, be redeemed. For Burton, a “good” book did not have to be written by a Catholic or be about Catholic people, but it needed to be imbued with Catholic moral principles, especially those concerning divorce and remarriage, and the inevitable consequences when those principles were rejected.
