Abstract

Objectives
Strict social distancing and lockdown measures imposed to curb transmission during the early phase of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic posed challenges to people’s psychological wellbeing, limited access to social support, and disrupted routine mental health service delivery. In response, a consortium of mental health stakeholders from Goa, India launched the COVIDAV program, which provided pro-bono virtual psychiatric and counselling consultations across India through an online platform. This study describes the acceptability and feasibility of the program from the perspective of various stakeholders.

Methods
Data were collected via a survey with clinicians who had volunteered on COVIDAV (n = 40), in depth interviews of the clinicians (n = 14), and focus group discussion with key collaborators (n = 1). Process data were mapped at various stages during the online platform’s development and use. The qualitative and quantitative data was analysed using thematic analysis and a descriptive analysis respectively.

Results
Over 17 months, 63 clinicians conducted 2245 online sessions through the COVID platform, primarily accessed by youth across the country. The clinicians acknowledged the online platform’s ability to enhance access and reduce stigma. Challenges included session time constraints, connectivity issues, and user interface inconsistencies that interfered with clients’ accessibility to the services. High satisfaction rates amongst the service providers were reported, with 79.3% content with the service provision and 82.8% with pro bono contributions through the platform.

Conclusions
This study illustrates the feasibility, flexibility, and applicability of a rapidly designed pro-bono online platform for delivering mental health care services through the collaboration of stakeholder groups in the mental health care, private, social, and governmental sector. Our findings highlight the potential of rapidly deployed digital platforms, developed via cross-sector partnerships, to meet mental health care needs during unprecedented global emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: October 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) workers are critical to effective disaster response. Therefore, it is important to understand their knowledge, skills, and preparedness for disasters. This study investigated factors influencing EMS workers’ disaster knowledge, skills, and preparedness in the Saudi Arabian context. The study also sought to identify challenges to disaster preparedness among Saudi Arabian EMS workers.

Methods
A descriptive cross-sectional survey using The Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool was distributed to EMS workers in military and government hospitals across 3 Saudi Arabian cities. Responses were recorded on a 6-point Likert scale where higher scores indicated higher knowledge, skills, or preparedness. The results were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis.

Results
272EMS workers participated in this study. EMS workers reported a moderate level of knowledge (3.56), skills (3.44), and preparedness (3.73) for disasters. Despite this, EMS workers reported a high level of involvement in regular disaster drills (M = 4.24, SD = 1.274) and a strong interest in further disaster education opportunities (M = 5.43, SD = 1.121). Participants also reported a high skill level with the triage principles used in their workplace during a disaster (M = 4.06, SD = 1.218). The study findings revealed a significant positive correlation between disaster preparedness levels and age, years of experience, education level, and the facility worked in.

Conclusions
EMS workers have moderate disaster knowledge, skills, and preparedness levels. Knowledge, skill, and preparedness have a significant relationship on the EMS workers’ demographics. These findings demonstrate the need to invest in preparing Saudi Arabian EMS workers to effectively respond to bioterrorism disasters.
Reliable uncertainty estimation in emotion recognition in conversation using conformal prediction framework
Authors: Roohi Samad , Skarbez Richard , Nguyen Hien Duy 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Emotion recognition in conversation (ERC) faces two major challenges: biased predictions and poor calibration. Classifiers often disproportionately favor certain emotion categories, such as neutral, due to the structural complexity of classifiers, the subjective nature of emotions, and imbalances in training datasets. This bias results in poorly calibrated predictions where the model’s predicted probabilities do not align with the true likelihood of outcomes. To tackle these problems, we introduce the application of conformal prediction (CP) into ERC tasks. CP is a distribution-free method that generates set-valued predictions to ensure marginal coverage in classification, thus improving the calibration of models. However, inherent biases in emotion recognition models prevent baseline CP from achieving a uniform conditional coverage across all classes. We propose a novel CP variant, class spectrum conformation, which significantly reduces coverage bias in CP methods. The methodologies introduced in this study enhance the reliability of prediction calibration and mitigate bias in complex natural language processing tasks.

Published: October 2024

AbstractLet
$(A,\mathfrak{m})$
be a Cohen–Macaulay local ring, and then the notion of a
$T$
-split sequence was introduced in the part-1 of this paper for the
$\mathfrak{m}$
-adic filtration with the help of the numerical function
$e^T_A$
. In this article, we explore the relation between Auslander–Reiten (AR)-sequences and
$T$
-split sequences. For a Gorenstein ring
$(A,\mathfrak{m})$
, we define a Hom-finite Krull–Remak–Schmidt category
$\mathcal{D}_A$
as a quotient of the stable category
$\underline{\mathrm{CM}}(A)$
. This category preserves isomorphism, that is,
$M\cong N$
in
$\mathcal{D}_A$
if and only if
$M\cong N$
in
$\underline{\mathrm{CM}}(A)$
.This article has two objectives: first objective is to extend the notion of
$T$
-split sequences, and second objective is to explore the function
$e^T_A$
and
$T$
-split sequences. When
$(A,\mathfrak{m})$
is an analytically unramified Cohen–Macaulay local ring and
$I$
is an
$\mathfrak{m}$
-primary ideal, then we extend the techniques in part-1 of this paper to the integral closure filtration with respect to
$I$
and prove a version of Brauer–Thrall-II for a class of such rings.

AbstractObjectives:The functional roles of ventricular dominance and additional ventricular chamber after Fontan operation are still uncertain. We aim to assess and correlate such anatomical features to late clinical outcomes.Methods:Fontan patients undergoing cardiac MRI and cardiopulmonary exercise test between January 2020 and December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical, cardiac MRI, and cardiopulmonary exercise test data from the last follow-up were analysed.Results:Fifty patients were analysed: left dominance was present in 29 patients (58%, median age 20 years, interquartile range:16–26). At a median follow-up after the Fontan operation was 16 years (interquartile range: 4–42), NYHA classes III and IV was present in 3 patients (6%), 4 (8%) underwent Fontan conversion, 2 (4%) were listed for heart transplantation, and 2 (4%) died. Statistical analysis showed that the additional ventricular chamber was larger (>20 mL/m2) in patients with a right dominant ventricle (p = 0.01), and right dominance was associated with a higher incidence of post-operative low-cardiac output syndrome (p = 0.043). Left ventricular dominance was associated with a better ejection fraction (p = 0.04), less extent of late gadolinium enhancement (p = 0.022), higher metabolic equivalents (p = 0.01), and higher peak oxygen consumption (p = 0.033). A larger additional ventricular chamber was associated with a higher need for post-operative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support (p = 0.007), but it did not influence functional parameters on cardiac MRI or cardiopulmonary exercise test.Conclusions:In Fontan patients, left ventricular dominance correlated to better functional outcomes. Conversely, a larger additional ventricular chamber is more frequent in right ventricular dominance and can negatively affect the early post-Fontan course.
Compassion-focused approaches to understanding the mental health of climate scientists
Authors: Calabria Luis , Peters Charlotte , Williams Marc 
Published: October 2024

AbstractAs we face a future of rising global temperatures, and associated extreme weather events, distressing emotional responses are understandable. Climate scientists comprise a unique group, in that they must regularly confront the reality, and consequences, of climate change. In this paper, we explore how the principles of compassion-focused therapy (CFT) might be applied to comprehend the responses of climate scientists to climate change; by doing so, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of these responses in order to consider fruitful avenues for providing support and investigating this area further. We consider how flows of compassion, and blocks to compassion, might play a role in climate scientists’ experiences. Additionally, we conceptualise a role for compassion towards the wider world and humanity more broadly. Finally, by applying the CFT Three Systems model to current understanding of climate scientists’ emotional experiences, we seek to proffer a potential conceptualisation of them.Key learning aims(1)To formulate the emotional experiences of climate scientists from a compassion-focused therapy perspective.(2)To explore how blocks to flows of compassions serve to negatively impact and/or maintain difficult emotional experiences of climate scientists.(3)To consider ways in which the field of psychological therapy can support climate scientists through a difficult emotional journey, and how future research might explore this further.
Environmental identity-based therapies for climate distress: applying cognitive behavioural approaches
Authors: Doherty Thomas , Artman Salvia , Homan Jesse , Keluskar Jennifer , White Kristi E. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This paper describes an interdisciplinary integration of the concept of environmental identity into cognitive behavioural approaches to facilitate psychotherapy interventions for climate distress. Environmental identity encompasses one’s sense of self in relation to the natural world and other species, and is an important sub-identity analogous to gender, sexual and other forms of self and social identity recognized in psychotherapy. We provide a background on the construct of environmental identity as developed in social and environmental psychology and share culturally responsive methods for mental health practitioners and the public to evoke and explore their own environmental identity. We then discuss steps to create environmental identity-based therapy interventions using cognitive and behavioural approaches for climate distress. We highlight the potential for acceptance and commitment therapy to foster mindfulness and values-based action, dialectical behaviour therapy to support emotional regulation, and radically open dialectical behaviour therapy to mitigate perfectionism and over-controlled coping styles. We also describe a composite case study of environmental identity-based cognitive behavioural therapy for an LGBTQ+ client.

Key learning aims

(1)
The paper presents new opportunities and techniques for adapting cognitive behavioural interventions in a climate conscious manner, with insights and observations from the authors based on clinical practice, which informs research into psychotherapy best practices in the context of environmental and climate issues.

(2)
Readers will become familiar with the empirical basis of environmental identity drawn from theory and research in social and environmental psychology; how environmental experiences and values intersect with other forms of personal and social identity addressed in mental health practice; and culturally responsive ways to elicit environmental identity on the part of practitioners and those they serve.

(3)
Readers are guided through examples of environmental identity-based cognitive and behavioural interventions including (1) promoting values-based action using acceptance and commitment therapy, (2) addressing emotional dysregulation using dialectical behaviour therapy, and (3) modifying over-controlled or perfectionistic coping styles using radically open dialectical behaviour therapy.

A composite case study provides an example of environmental identity-based cognitive behavioural therapy for a 20-year-old LGBTQ+ person experiencing climate distress.
Do State Legislative Staffer Networks Influence Roll-call Voting? Evidence from Shared Personal Staffers in Arizona, Indiana, and New Mexico
Authors: Landgrave Michelangelo 
Published: October 2024

AbstractLegislative staffers are an invisible force in legislative bodies that provide every imaginable service. It is doubtful that modern legislatures could operate without them. Prior studies of Congressional staffers have found evidence that staffers not only aid but also exert an independent influence on the policy-making process through network effects. In this article, I test if this extends to state legislative staffers using novel data from shared staffer networks in Arizona, Indiana, and New Mexico. I argue that, compared to their Congressional counterparts, state legislative staffers are more akin to ‘clerks’ than ‘political professionals’ and this limits their ability to independently influence policymaking at the state level.

Abstract
Field experiments were conducted at Clayton and Rocky Mount, NC, during summer 2020 to determine the growth and fecundity of Palmer amaranth plants that survived glufosinate with and without grass competition in cotton. Glufosinate (590 g ai ha−1) was applied to Palmer amaranth early postemergence (5 cm tall), mid-postemergence (7 to 10 cm tall), and late postemergence (>10 cm tall) and at orthogonal combinations of those timings. Nontreated Palmer amaranth was grown in weedy, weed-free in-crop (WFIC) and weed-free fallow (WFNC) conditions for comparisons. Palmer amaranth control decreased as larger plants were treated; no plants survived the sequential glufosinate applications in both experiments. The apical and circumferential growth of Palmer amaranth surviving glufosinate treatments was reduced by more than 44% compared to the WFIC and WFNC Palmer amaranth in both experiments. The biomass of Palmer amaranth plants surviving glufosinate was reduced by more than 62% when compared with the WFIC and WFNC in all experiments. The fecundity of Palmer amaranth surviving glufosinate treatments was reduced by more than 73% compared to WFNC Palmer amaranth in all experiments. Remarkably, the plants that survived glufosinate were fecund as WFIC plants only in the Grass Competition experiment. The results prove that despite decreased vegetative growth of Palmer amaranth surviving glufosinate treatment, plants remain fecund and can be fecund as nontreated plants in cotton. These results suggest that a glufosinate-treated grass weed may not have a significant interspecific competition effect on Palmer amaranth that survives glufosinate. Glufosinate should be applied to 5 to 7 cm Palmer amaranth to cease vegetative and reproductive capacities.

AbstractDespite routine detection of coseismic acoustic‐gravity waves (AGWs) in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) total electron content (TEC) observations, models of the earthquake‐atmosphere‐ionosphere dynamics, essential for validating data‐driven studies, remain limited. We present the results of three‐dimensional numerical simulations encompassing the entire coupling from Earth's interior to the ionosphere during the 7.8 2016 Kaikoura earthquake. Incorporating the impact of data/model uncertainties in estimating the ionospheric state, the results show a good agreement between observed and simulated slant TEC (sTEC) signals, assessed through a set of metrics. The signals exhibit intricate waveforms, resulting from the integrated nature of TEC and phase cancellation effects, emphasizing the significance of direct signal comparisons along realistic line‐of‐sight paths. By comparing simulation results initialized with kinematic and dynamic source models, the study demonstrates the quantifiable sensitivity of sTEC to AGW source specifications, pointing to their utility in the analysis of coupled dynamics.
Nonlinear Tide‐River‐Surge Interactions and Their Impacts on Compound Flooding During Typhoon Hato in the Pearl River Delta
Authors: Du Haoxuan , Fei Kai , Gao Liang 
Published: October 2024

AbstractIn coastal areas, multiple hydrodynamic processes co‐occur, including the astronomical tide, river discharge, and storm surge. Their propagation and interaction within coastal tidal river result in strong nonlinear behavior in inland areas. This study employed a hydrodynamic model and continuous wavelet transform analysis to investigate the complex tide‐river‐surge interactions and their impacts on compound flooding in the West River of the Pearl River Delta during an extreme typhoon event. Validated model outputs provided insights into the spatial and temporal variations of river discharge, water levels, and currents. Wavelet analysis revealed river discharge modulates tidal properties, causing nonstationary tides and asymmetries, with high flows suppressing tidal ranges but facilitating energy transfers to overtides. During Typhoon Hato, storm surges dominated high‐frequency water level fluctuations that rapidly propagated upstream. Crucially, strong high‐frequency tide‐river‐surge coupling induced significant water level amplifications, with interaction intensities increasing landward. In upstream areas where riverine and coastal drivers converged, flood risks exceeded typical estimates due to this vigorous multi‐driver compounding. Findings highlighted how existing flood mitigation approaches over simplistically superposing individual sources may severely underestimate flood levels by neglecting such nonlinear interactions. A comprehensive accounting of the cumulative, multiplicative effects of tides, discharge, storm surge, and sea level rise is imperative. This quantitative unraveling of key physical drivers offers transferable insights applicable to compound flood risk evaluations and policy guidance for enhancing resilience in other estuary and delta regions. Future work should focus on holistically modeling multivariate extremes and their interactions.

Published: October 2024

AbstractMany slow slip events (SSEs) occur beneath the ocean, and continuous ocean‐bottom pressure gauge (OBP) observations provide useful data. OBPs record both oceanic variations and crustal movements, so we developed a multi‐channel singular spectrum analysis method to remove oceanic variations and applied our method to OBPs and oceanic model data. Then components of the oceanic model with good correlations to the OBP data were subtracted from the observed data. This method compensates for the incompleteness of the oceanic model and removes oceanic variations better than use of the original model. We applied the method to OBP data for the 2018 Boso, Japan, SSE to estimate its slip distribution. Comparing slip distributions obtained with and without the OBP data, we found that the distribution obtained using OBP data extended further offshore, and the offshore estimation error was smaller. Our study shows that offshore observations using OBPs are important for characterizing SSEs.

Published: October 2024

AbstractThe movement history of boulders is crucial for the reconstruction of paleo‐tsunamis. We report findings from viscous remanent magnetization studies of the boulders on Tongatapu Island, aiming to reconstruct their reworkings. Two boulders exhibited viscous remanence, whereas two larger boulders lacked viscous components but exhibited stable remanence. Both the viscous and stable components deviated from the geomagnetic field direction. These observations indicate that: (a) the boulders with a viscous component were reworked before the latest event, which could have reworked all boulders, and (b) the magnitude of the latest event was larger than that of an earlier event. The reworked timing indicated that the event occurred between 3,000 years ago and the fifteenth century. The difference in the wave height required to move boulders on the eastern and western coasts suggests that the source of the earlier tsunami was likely an eruption due to volcanoes along the Tonga Ridge.

Published: October 2024

AbstractWarm Airmass Intrusions (WAIs) from the mid‐latitudes significantly impact the Arctic water budget. Here, we combine water vapor isotope measurements from the MOSAiC expedition, with a Lagrangian‐based process attribution diagnostic to track moisture transformation in the central Arctic Ocean during two WAIs, under contrasting sea‐ice concentrations (SIC). During winter with high SIC, two moisture supplies are identified. The first is Arctic moisture, locally‐sourced over the sea ice, with isotopic composition influenced by kinetic fractionation during ice‐cloud formation and vapor deposition. This moisture is rapidly overprinted by low‐latitude moisture advected poleward during WAI. In summer under low SIC, moisture is supplied through evaporation from land and ocean, with moisture removal via liquid‐cloud and dew formation. The isotopic composition reflects the influence of higher relative humidity at the evaporation sites. Given the projected increase of frequency and duration of WAIs, our study contributes to assessing process changes in the Arctic water cycle.
