description: This thesis explores telehealth imagery focused therapy for people with delusions. Delusions, particularly persecutory delusions, can cause distress and are linked to deterioration in psychological wellbeing. Mental imagery is a factor associated with such distress and interventions targeting this could be beneficial. Section one reports on a quantitative systematic literature review that examines the outcomes imagery focused interventions for people with psychosis and delusions. Six databases were searched (PsycINFO, PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL) and eight studies were found to meet the requirements for inclusion. These studies largely supported their aims in reducing levels of distress and intrusiveness of imagery. Results suggest that interventions targeting mental imagery are acceptable, feasible and safe within a population of people with psychosis. Further research that uses more robust methodological designs and larger sample sizes is needed. Section two reports on an empirical study that aimed to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a telehealth imagery-based therapeutic intervention for people experiencing persecutory delusions. A non-concurrent A-B multiple-baseline design was used. Five participants, all female, completed multiple baselines (minimum three, maximum five sessions) and six therapy sessions. There was a 100% completion rate of sessions and measures. Participants reported clinically significant improvement on at least one measure and all participants reported a reduction in delusions and the realness and compelling nature of distressing imagery. No adverse effects were found and participant feedback was positive. Limitations of the study include an all-female sample, small sample size and lack of control group. Overall, the delivery of an imagery-focused intervention via telehealth appears to be feasible and acceptable. Section three includes the critical appraisal which reflects on the process of conducting this project. It summarises prior sections, discusses key considerations of the research and considers future research.

description: The entanglement entropy, ${\cal S}$, is an indicator of quantum correlations in the ground state of a many body quantum system. At a second-order quantum phase-transition point in one dimension ${\cal S}$ generally has a logarithmic singularity. Here we consider quantum spin chains with a first-order quantum phase transition, the prototype being the $Q$-state quantum Potts chain for $Q>4$ and calculate ${\cal S}$ across the transition point. According to numerical, density matrix renormalization group results at the first-order quantum phase transition point ${\cal S}$ shows a jump, which is expected to vanish for $Q \to 4^+$. This jump is calculated in leading order as $Δ{\cal S}=\ln Q[1-4/Q-2/(Q \ln Q)+{\cal O}(1/Q^2)]$.

description: We try to retrieve the power spectra with certainty to the highest spatial frequencies allowed by current instrumentation. For this, we use 2D inversion code that were able to recover information up to the instrumental diffraction limit. The retrieved power spectra have shallow slopes extending further down to much smaller scales than found before. They seem not to show any power law. The observed slopes at subgranular scales agree with those obtained from recent local dynamo simulations. Small differences are found for vertical component of kinetic energy that suggest that observations suffer from an instrumental effect that is not taken into account.

description: The ongoing search for high voltage positive electrode materials for Mg batteries has been primarily hampered by poor Mg mobility in bulk oxide frameworks. Motivated by the presence of Mo$_3$ clusters that can facilitate charge redistribution and the presence of Mg in a non-preferred (tetrahedral) coordination environment, we have investigated the Mg (de)intercalation behavior in layered-Mg$_2$Mo$_3$O$_8$, a potential positive electrode. While no electrochemical activity is observed, chemical demagnesiation of Mg$_2$Mo$_3$O$_8$ is successful but leads to amorphization. Subsequent first-principles calculations predict a strong thermodynamic driving force for structure decomposition at low Mg concentrations and high activation barriers for bulk Mg diffusion, in agreement with experimental observations. Further analysis of the Mg diffusion pathway reveals an O--Mg--O dumbbell intermediate site that creates a high Mg$^{2+}$ migration barrier, indicating the influence of transition states on setting the magnitude of migration barriers.

description: Background and Review of Literature: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia leading to adverse outcomes. There is an association between dysglycemia and adverse perioperative outcomes. Evidence-based research supports consistent blood glucose (BG) monitoring and narrow glycemic parameters for surgical patients in the perioperative setting. Implementing and adhering to a glycemic guideline can help improve patient outcomes and decrease hospital costs.
Purpose: This quality improvement project (QIP) aims to determine the barriers to anesthesia clinicians implementing the perioperative glycemic management guideline for BG levels greater than 180 mg/dL. Then, develop an educational component to increase anesthesia clinicians’ adherence to the glycemic management guideline.
Methods: Data for the project were obtained from retrospective pre/post-education chart reviews and pre/post-surveys. Quantitative methods were used to measure adherence to appropriate treatment of BG over 180 mg/dL based on Appendices 5, 6, and 7 of the institution’s perioperative glycemic management guideline.
Implementation Plan/Procedure: An educational PowerPoint that provided instruction on Appendices 5, 6, and 7 of the glycemic management guideline and addressed the top three barriers to adhering to the guideline was created and distributed to the department via email. Additional education included roving in-services targeting anesthesia clinicians caring for surgical PWD in the operating room.
Implications/Conclusions: Adherence to Appendices 5, 6, and 7 of the glycemic management guideline is inconsistent by anesthesia clinicians at BJH. While literature may vary on one exact perioperative glycemic management guideline to follow, adhering to an evidence-based targeted
BARRIERS IN PLACE TO ANESTHESIA CLINICIANS 5
BG range during surgery was found to improve patient outcomes. The QIP determined barriers in place to adhere to Appendices 5, 6, and 7 of the glycemic management guideline and provided education to anesthesia clinicians on utilizing the guideline, where to find them in the clinical protocols, and why they should be consistently followed.

description: Water-free NH4V3O8 microcrystals have been successfully synthesized by a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The products were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, cyclic voltammetry, and galvanostatic cycling. The results show phase-pure products whose particle size and morphology can be tailored by varying the reaction conditions, i.e., reaction temperature, synthesis duration, and initial pH value. For instance, at low pH (2.5 to 3), flower-like agglomerates with primary particles of 20 to 30 microm length are found, while at pH = 5.5 single microplates with hexagonal outline (30 to 40 microm) prevail. The sample with the comparably highest specific surface area (11 m2/g) was studied regarding its electrochemical performance. It shows an extraordinary initial discharge capacity of 378 mA h g-1 at 10 mA g-1, which corresponds to the intercalation of 4.2 Li+/f.u.

description: We present new results on the evolution of rest-frame blue/UV sizes and Sersic indices of H$α$-selected star-forming galaxies over the last 11 Gyrs. We investigate how the perceived evolution can be affected by a range of biases and systematics such as cosmological dimming and resolution effects. We use GALFIT and an artificial redshifting technique, which includes the luminosity evolution of H$α$-selected galaxies, to quantify the change on the measured structural parameters with redshift. We find typical sizes of 2 to 3 kpc and Sersic indices of n~1.2, close to pure exponential disks all the way from z=2.23 to z=0.4. At z=0 we find typical sizes of 4-5 kpc. Our results show that, when using GALFIT, cosmological dimming has a negligible impact on the derived effective radius for galaxies with <10 kpc, but we find a ~20% bias on the estimate of the median Sersic indices, rendering galaxies more disk-like. Star-forming galaxies have grown on average by a factor of 2-3 in the last 11 Gyrs with $r_e\propto(1+z)^{-0.75}$. By exploring the evolution of the stellar mass-size relation we find evidence for a stronger size evolution of the most massive star-forming galaxies since z~2, as they grow faster towards z~0 when compared to the lower stellar mass counterparts. As we are tracing the rest-frame blue/UV, we are likely witnessing the growth of disks where star formation is ongoing in galaxies while their profiles remain close to exponential disks, n<1.5, across the same period.

description: The VLTI instrument GRAVITY combines the beams from four telescopes and provides phase-referenced imaging as well as precision-astrometry of order 10 microarcseconds by observing two celestial objects in dual-field mode. Their angular separation can be determined from their differential OPD (dOPD) when the internal dOPDs in the interferometer are known. Here, we present the general overview of the novel metrology system which performs these measurements. The metrology consists of a three-beam laser system and a homodyne detection scheme for three-beam interference using phase-shifting interferometry in combination with lock-in amplifiers. Via this approach the metrology system measures dOPDs on a nanometer-level.

description: We present a revised TRGB calibration, accurate to 2.7% of distance. A modified TRGB magnitude corrected for the color dependence of the TRGB, the QT magnitude, is introduced for better measurement of the TRGB. We determine the color-magnitude relation of the TRGB from photometry of deep images of HST/ACS fields around eight nearby galaxies. The zero-point of the TRGB at the fiducial metallicity ([Fe/H]=-1.6 ((V-I)_{0,TRGB}=1.5)) is obtained from photometry of two distance anchors, NGC 4258 (M106) and the LMC, to which precise geometric distances are known: M_{QT,TRGB}=-4.023+-0.073 mag from NGC 4258 and M_{QT,TRGB}=-4.004+-0.096 mag from the LMC. A weighted mean of the two zero-points is M_{QT,TRGB}=-4.016+-0.058 mag. Quoted uncertainty is ~2 times smaller than those of the previous calibrations. We compare the empirical TRGB calibration derived in this study with theoretical stellar models, finding that there are significant discrepancies, especially for red color ((F606W-F814W)_0 > 2.5). We provide the revised TRGB calibration in several magnitude systems for future studies.

Goldstone origin of black hole hair from supertranslations and criticality

description: Degrees of freedom that carry black hole entropy and hair can be described in the language of Goldstone phenomenon. They represent the pseudo-Goldstone bosons of certain supertranslations, called A-transformations, that are spontaneously broken by the black hole metric. This breaking gives rise to a tower of Goldstone bosons created by the spontaneously-broken generators that can be labeled by spherical harmonics. Classically, the number of charges is infinite, they have vanishing VEVs and the corresponding Goldstone modes are gapless. The resulting hair and entropy are infinite, but unresolvable. In quantum theory the two things happen. The number of legitimate Goldstone modes restricted by requirement of weak-coupling, becomes finite and scales as black hole area in Planck units. The Goldstones generate a tiny gap, controlled by their gravitational coupling. The gap turns out to be equal to the inverse of black hole half-life, $t_{BH}$. Correspondingly, in quantum theory the charges are neither conserved nor vanish, but non-conservation time is set by $t_{BH}$. This picture nicely matches with the idea of a black hole as of critical system composed of many soft gravitons. The A-Goldstones of geometric picture represent the near-gapless Bogoliubov-Goldstone modes of critical soft-graviton system.

description: Transparent Al2O3 ceramics have attracted considerable interest for use in a wide range of optical, electronic and structural applications. The fabrication of these ceramics using powder metallurgy processes requires the development of theoretical approaches to the compaction of nanopowders. In this work, we investigate the compaction processes of two model granular systems imitating Al2O3 nanosized powders. System I is a loosely aggregated powder, and system II is a powder strongly inclined to agglomeration (for instance, calcined powder). The processes of isostatical (uniform), biaxial, and uniaxial compaction as well as uniaxial compaction with simultaneous shear deformation are studied. The energy parameters of compaction such as the energy change of elastic interparticle interactions and dispersion interactions, dissipative energy losses related to the processes of interparticle friction, and the total work of compaction are calculated for all the processes. The nonapplicability of the associated flow rule to the description of deformation processes of oxide nanopowders is shown and an alternative plastic flow rule is suggested. A complete system of determining the relationship of the flow including analytical approximations of yield surfaces is obtained.

description: Streamflow, as a natural phenomenon, is continuous in time and so are the meteorological variables which influence its variability. In practice, it can be of interest to forecast the whole flow curve instead of points (daily or hourly). To this end, this paper introduces the functional linear models and adapts it to hydrological forecasting. More precisely, functional linear models are regression models based on curves instead of single values. They allow to consider the whole process instead of a limited number of time points or features. We apply these models to analyse the flow volume and the whole streamflow curve during a given period by using precipitations curves. The functional model is shown to lead to encouraging results. The potential of functional linear models to detect special features that would have been hard to see otherwise is pointed out. The functional model is also compared to the artificial neural network approach and the advantages and disadvantages of both models are discussed. Finally, future research directions involving the functional model in hydrology are presented.

The Qualitative Explorations of Mental Health in Rural Adolescents and UK Sheep Farmers
Creators: name: Boyd, Fiona
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis explores mental health in rural adolescents and UK sheep farmers, comprising four parts: a literature review, research paper, critical appraisal, and ethics section. The literature review is a meta-synthesis of rural adolescents’ experiences and attitudes towards mental health. Data from 16 papers were synthesised using a meta-ethnographic approach, producing four overarching themes: (1) Stigma from others and the self, (2) Close-knit and claustrophobic communities, (3) Personal factors that facilitate support, and (4) Service-related barriers and facilitators. Findings highlight the unique experiences and needs of rural adolescents that must be recognised. Clinical implications include mental health training in schools. The research paper explores mental health in sheep farmers, with a focus on the challenges that they face to their psychological wellbeing, how these challenges are managed, and what mental health services must learn to support the farming community appropriately. Six farmers took part in individual semi-structured interviews which were analysed using thematic analysis, generating four themes: (1) Self-reliance as necessary for farming but a barrier to help-seeking; (2) Needing to be understood as a farmer to speak about mental health difficulties; (3) Working with the uncontrollable and unpredictable: attempting to tolerate frustration and uncertainty; and (4) Feeling bashed by the press and social media yet seeing the potential for support and connection online. Findings suggest distinct psychological stressors and experiences pertaining to farmers which have implications for appropriate support for this group. Clinical implications include psychological first-aid training for professionals who work with farmers, the development of culturally competent mental health services and the co-location of mental health support with farming related business. The critical appraisal reflects and expands upon some of the methodological, reflexive, and practical issues that arose throughout the research process and serves as a useful resource for future researchers in this field.

description: Background: Frailty is a syndrome characterized by an increased burden of symptoms and higher susceptibility to adverse health, including higher functional decline rates, pressure ulcers, falls, delirium, extended hospital stay, and discharge to assisted living facilities. Screening patients for frailty before undergoing a surgical procedure is recommended to minimize postoperative complications. In the preoperative phase at a midwestern academic hospital, surgical patients are not screened for frailty using a validated screening tool.
Purpose: This project sought to calculate the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) score using a novel algorithm. After validating the novel algorithm, this research project predicted that clinicians would appropriately refer to the novel algorithm to identify frail patients. Other long-term goals included enhancing patient outcomes and influencing organization policies utilizing a frailty screening tool.
Theoretical/Conceptual Framework: The Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice model was utilized to implement the frailty screening tool and evaluate its impact on frailty identification. The model uses a three-step process involving practice questions, evidence, and translation.
Method: This project utilized existing patient data from the patient’s Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and identified physical frailty using a novel algorithm developed by the research team. The CFS, a validated screening tool, was used to validate the novel algorithm’s ability to predict frailty.
Results: The correlation coefficient (r) between the novel algorithm and the CFS score from researcher #1 was 0.66835. The r value between the novel algorithm and the CFS score from researcher #2 was 0.637808. The r value of the CFS scores between researcher #1 and researcher # 2 was 0.8122. These findings suggest that the novel algorithm is a reliable tool for assessing frailty, and that there is agreement between the two researchers in their assessment of CFS.
Conclusion: In this project, the moderate positive relationship between the novel algorithm score and the CFS score suggest that the novel algorithm may be a useful tool for assessing the same construct as the CFS tool. However, further research is needed to determine the extent to which the novel algorithm and the CFS tool scores measure the same construct and whether one is more valid, reliable, or efficient than the other. Overall, the findings from this project suggests that the novel algorithm may have clinical significance as a potential alternative or complementary tool to the CFS tool for assessing the same construct.

description: In this paper we study efficiency of particle acceleration in the magnetospheres of stellar mass black holes. For this purpose we consider the linearized set of the Euler equation, continuity equation and Poisson equation respectively. After introducing the varying relativistic centrifugal force, we show that the charge separation undergoes the parametric instability, leading to generation of centrifugally excited Langmuir waves. It is shown that these waves, via the Langmuir collapse damp by means of the Landau damping, as a result energy transfers to particles accelerating them to energies of the order of $10^{16}$eV.

description: The observed masses, radii and temperatures of 60 medium- to long-period binaries, most of which contain a cool, evolved star and a hotter less-evolved one, are compared with theoretical models which include (a) core convective overshooting, (b)mass loss, possibly driven by dynamo action as in RS CVn binaries, and (c) tidal friction, including its effect on orbital period through magnetic braking. A reasonable fit is found in about 42 cases, but in 11 other cases the primaries appear to have lost either more mass or less mass than the models predict, and in 4 others the orbit is predicted to be either more or less circular than observed. Of the remaining 3 systems, two ($γ$ Per and HR 8242) have a markedly `over-evolved' secondary, our explanation being that the primary component is the merged remnant of a former short-period sub-binary in a former triple system. The last system (V695 Cyg) defies any agreement at present. Mention is also made of three other systems (V643 Ori, OW Gem and V453 Cep), which are relevant to our discussion.

title: Is there a gender hiring gap in academic economics? Evidence from a network analysis
Creators: name: Orland, Andreas

Publisher: name: Universitätsverlag Potsdam
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 500 Naturwissenschaften und Mathematik

description: We collect a network dataset of tenured economics faculty in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. We rank the 100 institutions included with a minimum violation ranking. This ranking is positively and significantly correlated with the Times Higher Education ranking of economics institutions. According to the network ranking, individuals on average go down about 23 ranks from their doctoral institution to their employing institution. While the share of females in our dataset is only 15%, we do not observe a significant gender hiring gap (a difference in rank changes between male and female faculty). We conduct a robustness check with the Handelsblatt and the Times Higher Education ranking. According to these rankings, individuals on average go down only about two ranks. We do not observe a significant gender hiring gap using these two rankings (although the dataset underlying this analysis is small and these estimates are likely to be noisy). Finally, we discuss the limitations of the network ranking in our context.

Recent Tectonic Activity on Pluto Driven by Phase Changes in the Ice Shell

description: The New Horizons spacecraft has found evidence for geologic activity on the surface of Pluto, including extensional tectonic deformation of its water ice bedrock (see Moore et al., 2016). One mechanism that could drive extensional tectonic activity is global surface expansion due to the partial freezing of an ocean. We use updated physical properties for Pluto and simulate its thermal evolution to understand the survival of a possible subsurface ocean. For thermal conductivities of rock less than 3 W m$^{-1}$ K$^{-1}$, an ocean forms and at least partially freezes, leading to recent extensional stresses in the ice shell. In scenarios where the ocean freezes and the ice shell is thicker than $260$ km, ice II forms and causes global volume contraction. Since there is no evidence for recent compressional tectonic features, we argue that ice II has not formed and that Pluto's ocean has likely survived to present day.

Black hole microstates from branes at angle

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We derive the leading g_s perturbation of the SUGRA fields generated by a supersymmetric configuration of respectively 1, 2 or 4 D3-branes intersecting at an arbitrary angle via the computation of the string theory disk scattering amplitude of one massless NSNS field interacting with open strings stretched between the branes. The configuration with four branes is expected to be relevant for black hole microstate counting in four dimensions.

Clifford theory for Yokonuma--Hecke algebras and deformation of complex reflection groups

description: We define and study an action of the symmetric group on the Yokonuma--Hecke algebra. This leads to the definition of two classes of algebras. The first one is connected with the image of the algebra of the braid group inside the Yokonuma--Hecke algebras, and in turn with an algebra defined by Aicardi and Juyumaya known as the algebra of braids and ties. The second one can be seen as new deformations of complex reflection groups of type G(d,p,n). We provide several presentations for both algebras and a complete study of their representation theories using Clifford theory.

description: Anyons are exotic quasiparticles obeying fractional statistics,whose behavior can be emulated in artificially designed spin systems.Here we present an experimental emulation of creating anyonic excitations in a superconducting circuit that consists of four qubits, achieved by dynamically generating the ground and excited states of the toric code model, i.e., four-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. The anyonic braiding is implemented via single-qubit rotations: a phase shift of πrelated to braiding, the hallmark of Abelian 1/2 anyons, has been observed through a Ramsey-type interference measurement.

Beyond WIMPs: the Quark (Anti) Nugget Dark Matter

description: We review a testable dark matter (DM) model outside of the standard WIMP paradigm. The model is unique in a sense that the observed ratio $Ω_{\rm dark} \simeq Ω_{\rm visible}$ for visible and dark matter densities finds its natural explanation as a result of their common QCD origin when both types of matter (DM and visible) are formed during the QCD transition and both are proportional to single dimensional parameter of the system, $Λ_{\rm QCD}$. We argue that the charge separation effect also inevitably occurs during the same QCD transition in the presence of the $\cal{CP}$ odd axion field $a(x)$. It leads to preferential formation of one species of nuggets on the scales of the visible Universe where the axion field $a(x)$ is coherent. A natural outcome of this preferential evolution is that only one type of the visible baryons (not anti- baryons) remain in the system after the nuggets complete their formation. Unlike conventional WIMP dark matter candidates, the nuggets and anti-nuggets are strongly interacting but macroscopically large objects. The rare events of annihilation of the anti-nuggets with visible matter lead to a number of observable effects. We argue that the relative intensities for a number of measured excesses of emission from the centre of galaxy (covering more than 11 orders of magnitude) are determined by standard and well established physics. At the same time the absolute intensity of emission is determined by a single new fundamental parameter of the theory, the axion mass, $10^{-6} {\rm eV} \lesssim m_a \lesssim 10^{-3}{\rm eV}$. Finally, we comment on implications of these studies for the axion search experiments, including microwave cavity and the Orpheus experiments.
