description: Purpose: International health and social care policy increasingly draws on stakeholder experiences and opinions. The distinctions between various approaches to researching “insider” perspectives are contentious. This article explores features (e.g. philosophy, ethics, and power dynamics) of qualitative approaches and public and patient involvement (PPI) in communication disorder research and explicates the blurred boundaries between them. Method: We use two case studies involving PPI contributors with aphasia – an Irish mixed methodologies study and a Danish qualitative study - to illustrate PPI in research and thus demonstrate how researchers can bridge the gap between theoretical considerations and research implementation Result: There are important distinctions between PPI in research and qualitative approaches (e.g. origins, roles, and reimbursement) and many blurred boundaries (e.g. inclusion, openness to mutual learning and “insider” perspectives). A key difference is that PPI contributors take an active role at project level and more flexibility in roles is required in PPI research. These flexible and varied roles reflect the shared decision-making powers between lay and professional researchers. Conclusion: PPI can add innovation to qualitative and mixed methods communication disorder research as illustrated in both case studies. However, researchers wishing to include PPI must embrace and respond to the evolving and flexible nature of PPI relationships and processes. Flexibility, negotiation and continuous reflection on methodological approaches, power dynamics, roles and co-created knowledge will impact and transform the field of research in communication disorders.

description: Long time series of environmental variables are reflecting the dynamics and functioning of ecosystems. Here, we investigate data from a long-term monitoring site in Germany, the Bramke valley in the Harz mountains, where time series of ion concentrations in stream water are obtained since the 1970ies at four measurement locations from three small adjacent forested catchments. Since for (only) one of the catchments daily runoff rates are also available, we invent a method to generate time series of nutrient output from the catchments. Both concentrations and outputs show a number of remarkable long-term changes, including ones not obviously related to changes in atmospheric deposition, management or properties of the forest stands. For the analysis of the Bramke data, we investigate Horizontal Visibility Graphs (HVGs), a recently developed method to construct networks based on time series. Values (the nodes of the network) of the time series are linked to each other if there is no value higher between them. The network properties, such as the degree and distance distributions, reflect the nonlinear dynamics of the time series. For certain classes of stochastic processes and for periodic time series, analytic results can be obtained for some network properties. HVGs have the potential to discern between deterministic-chaotic and correlated-stochastic time series. We classify the Bramke series according to their stochastic nature, with a focus on inter-catchment comparison on one hand, on different nutrients for one catchment on the other, and conclude on possible reasons for the observed changes and their ecological interpretation.

description: We have studied the two-dimensional two-impurity Anderson model with additional Rashba spin-orbit interaction by means of the modified perturbation theory. The impurity Green's functions we have constructed exactly reproduce the first four spectral moments. We discuss the height and the width of the even/odd Kondo peaks as functions of the inter-impurity distance and the Rashba energy $E_R$ (the strength of the Rashba spin-orbit interaction). For small impurity separations the Kondo temperature shows a non-monotonic dependence on $E_R$ being different in the even and the odd channel. We predict that the Kondo temperature has only almost linear dependence on $E_R$ and not an exponential increase with $E_R$

description: Resource and logistical constraints limit the frequency and extent of environmental observations, particularly in the Arctic, necessitating the development of a systematic sampling strategy to maximize coverage and objectively represent environmental variability at desired scales. Required is a quantitative methodology for stratifying sampling domains, informing site selection, and determining the representativeness of measurement sites and networks. Multivariate spatiotemporal clustering was applied to down-scaled general circulation model results and data for the State of Alaska at 2 km ✕ 2 km resolution to define multiple sets of bioclimatic ecoregions across two decadal time periods. Maps of ecoregions for the present (2000–2009) and future (2090–2099) were produced, showing how combinations of 37 bioclimatic and permafrost characteristics are distributed and how they may shift in the future. Representative sampling locations are identified on present and future ecoregion maps. A representativeness metric was developed, and representativeness maps for eight candidate sampling locations were produced. This metric was used to characterize the environmental similarity of each site. This analysis provides model-inspired insights into optimal sampling strategies, offers a framework for up-scaling measurements, and provides a down-scaling approach for integration of models and measurements. These techniques can be applied at different spatial and temporal scales to meet the needs of individual measurement campaigns. More recently, we have extended this approach to investigate pan-Arctic and tropical forest representativeness, employing remote sensing and other data products, to quantify coverage of spatial heterogeneity from international monitoring and sampling efforts. New results describing global forest site constituency and Arctic sampling regimes will be presented.

description: We propose a general scheme for dissipatively preparing arbitrary pure quantum states on a multipartite qubit register in a finite number of basic control blocks. Our "splitting-subspace" approach relies on control resources that are available in a number of scalable quantum technologies (complete unitary control on the target system, an ancillary resettable qubit and controlled-not gates between the target and the ancilla), and can be seen as a "quantum-controller" implementation of a sequence of classical feedback loops. We show how a large degree of flexibility exists in engineering the required conditional operations, and make explicit contact with a stabilization protocol used for dissipative quantum state preparation and entanglement generation in recent experiments with trapped ions.

description: KS 1741-293 is a transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary that is located at an angular distance of ~20' from the Galactic center. We map out the historic activity of the source since its discovery in 1989, characterize its most recent X-ray outbursts observed with Swift (2007, 2008, 2010, and 2011), and discuss its quiescent X-ray properties using archival Chandra data. KS 1741-293 is frequently active, exhibiting outbursts that typically reach a 2-10 keV luminosity of Lx~1E36 (D/6.2 kpc)^2 erg/s and last for several weeks-months. However, Swift also captured a very short and weak accretion outburst that had a duration of <4 days and did not reach above Lx~5E34 (D/6.2 kpc)^2 erg/s. The source is detected in quiescence with Chandra at a 2-10 keV luminosity of Lx~2.5E32 (D/6.2 kpc)^2 erg/s.

description: As gas flowed from the solar accretion disk or solar nebula onto the proto-Sun, magnetic pressure gradients in the solar magnetosphere and the inner solar nebula provided an environment where some of this infalling flow was diverted to produce a low pressure, high temperature, gaseous, "infall" atmosphere around the inner solar nebula. The pressure in this inner disk atmosphere was mainly dependant on the accretion flow rate onto the star. High flow rates implied relatively high pressures, which decreased over time as the accretion rate decreased. In the first hundred thousand years after the formation of the solar nebula, accretional flow gas pressures were high enough to create submicron-sized Refractory Metal Nuggets (RMNs) - the precursors to Calcium Aluminum Inclusions (CAIs). Optimal temperatures and pressures for RMN formation may have occurred between 20,000 to 100,000 years after the formation of the solar nebula. It is possible that conditions were conducive to RMN/CAI formation over an eighty thousand year timescale. The "infall" atmosphere and the condensation of refractory particles within this atmosphere may be observable around the inner disks of other protostellar systems. The interaction of forces from magnetic fields with the radiation pressure from the proto-Sun and the inner solar accretion disk potentially produced an optical-magnetic trap above and below the inner solar nebula, which provided a relatively stable environment in which the RMNs/proto-CAIs could form and grow. These RMN formation sites only existed during accretion events from the proto-solar disk onto the proto-Sun. As such, the formation and growth time of a particular RMN was dependent on the timescale of its nascent accretion event.

description: A deeper understanding of nonequilibrium phenomena is needed to reveal the principles governing natural and synthetic molecular machines. Recent work has shown that when a thermodynamic system is driven from equilibrium then, in the linear response regime, the space of controllable parameters has a Riemannian geometry induced by a generalized friction tensor. We exploit this geometric insight to construct closed-form expressions for minimal-dissipation protocols for a particle diffusing in a one dimensional harmonic potential, where the spring constant, inverse temperature, and trap location are adjusted simultaneously. These optimal protocols are geodesics on the Riemannian manifold, and reveal that this simple model has a surprisingly rich geometry. We test these optimal protocols via a numerical implementation of the Fokker-Planck equation and demonstrate that the friction tensor arises naturally from a first order expansion in temporal derivatives of the control parameters, without appealing directly to linear response theory.

description: Camera traps are an efficient tool for detecting terrestrial mammals and birds. Vast amounts of presence data and information about distribution and size of mammals and birds have been generated in a very short time using this approach. The first step into a monitoring study, using camera trapping is to analyse the photographs. However, processing times, when it is done manually, can take longer because of the large amount of data collected. Pre-selecting relevant pictures using an automatic system and automatically identify the animals is an alternative to reduce the analysis time. The challenges to automatic identify the mammal´s genus from camera trap photos are: few examples of some genera (unbalanced classes problem), variation in light levels, constant changes in the scene, animal partially occluded, blurred photographs and other variations resulting from the natural dynamics of the ecosystem. Until now there has not been a computational tool to help in the specific task of labelling the animal´s genus. Thus, it is necessary to design new tools that automate the processing of these photographs. Here we introduce a new version of the software NAIRA. This software uses Machine Learning algorithms as an alternative to automatically labelling mammal genera. The photographs are classified into pictures with animals and without animals using a fuzzy classifier, after that the images are segmented to extract the area with animal and a second classification distinguishes between birds and mammals using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Finally NAIRA identifies the genera in the detected mammals using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Bag of Words (BoW). This version of software includes a proposal to identify the level of incertitude in the machine decision. The results over a database (Andean, Caribbean and Pacific regions in Colombia) with 70780 photos and strong unbalance between classes are promising; it was possible to automatically identify photos of animals and to differentiate among birds and 20 mammal genera (average accuracy 95%). The incertitude analyse is usefully to prevent a misclassification when the algorithm does not have a high level of certitude. In this case, only the 4,45% of pictures (with high classification incertitude level) has to be analysed by an human expert. The attendees will know in detail the functions of the software to recognize the advantages of the processing of this type of images with NAIRA.

description: Permanent grasslands (meadows and pastures) are the most common agricultural land use type covering 34% (0.65 million hectares) of agricultural land in Latvia. The Common Agriculture policy (CAP) stipulates that the EU Member States have to designate permanent grasslands, ensure that farmers do not convert or plough them and that the ratio of permanent grasslands to the total agricultural area does not decrease by more than 5% in order to receive support payments. However, semi-natural grassland habitats require appropriate management activities to ensure their long-term conservation. The European Commission report (2015) required by the Birds and Habitats directives concludes that ‘grasslands and wetlands have the highest proportion of habitats with an unfavourable-bad and deteriorating status’ in the EU, while the midterm review of EU biodiversity strategy 2010-2020 highlighted that grassland habitat change presents a high risk to biodiversity. Latvia’s rural development programme (2014-2020) has identified only 47 thousand hectares of biologically valuable grasslands. These grasslands are semi-natural meadows and pastures that include species and habitat types of EU importance. 70-90% of EU importance grassland habitats in Natura 2000 sites were in poor condition in Latvia during 2012. There is a clear interest from a number of end-users (e.g. the Nature Conservation Agency, the Rural Support Service,) for grassland mapping and management practice monitoring solutions. In order to prevent loss of high nature value grasslands and increase sustainability of semi-natural grassland management, the Integrated Planning tool was developed in frames of LIFE+ project “Integrated planning tool to ensure viability of grasslands” (LIFE Viva Grass ENV/LT/00018). Spectral remote sensing technique was used for preparation of necessary inputs for the tool from Cesis Municipality in Latvia - mapping of grasslands, detection of overgrowth with shrubs/trees and spread of invasive species (Sosnowsky’s hogweed) as well as assessment of grass biomass. High spatial and spectral resolution of hyperspectral airborne data obtained with flying laboratory ARSENAL was complemented with temporal dimension of Sentinel-2 satellite data in order to achieve the best result reaching classification accuracy >90%.

description: Discovered in October 2010 by the LINEAR survey, P/2010 TO20 LINEAR-Grauer (LG) was initially classified as an inert Jupiter Trojan. Subsequent observations obtained in October 2011 revealed LG to be a Jupiter-family comet. LG has one of the largest perihelia (q=5.1 AU) and lowest eccentricities (e=0.09) of the known JFCs. We report on observations of LG taken on 29 October 2011 and numerical simulations of its orbital evolution. Analysis of our data reveals that LG has a small nucleus (<3 km in radius) with broadband colours (B-R=0.99+/-0.06 mag, V-R=0.47+/-0.06 mag) typical of JFCs. We find a model dependent mass-loss rate close to 100 kg/s, most likely powered by water-ice sublimation. Our numerical simulation indicate that the orbit of LG is unstable on very short (10 to 100 yr) timescales and suggest this object has recently evolved into its current location from a more distant, Centaur-type orbit. The orbit, dynamics and activity of LG share similarities with the well known case of comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1.

description: The use of unmanned aerial system (UAS) imagery in environmental sciences has rapidly increased due to the ease of use and low cost [1]. In general, the ecological informatics community widely uses spatial data analyses, especially via GIS. A growing number of applications now include UAS imagery, which can provide centimetre scale multispectral data [2]. Processing this information requires the application of image-based remote sensing techniques. Specifically, the differences between unsupervised and supervised image classification methods are discussed, with a focus on pixel and object-based computational methods [3]. Examples relevant to ecological studies are presented using multispectral imagery collected of river landscapes to illustrate how UAS data can be used to classify complex spatial features such as vegetation and submerged regions of different depths, including turbulent flows and complex lighting and shade conditions.

description: We carry out lattice simulations of a cosmological electroweak phase transition for a Higgs mass m_h ~ 126 GeV. The analysis is based on a dimensionally reduced effective theory for an MSSM-like scenario including a relatively light coloured SU(2)-singlet scalar, referred to as a right-handed stop. The non-perturbative transition is stronger than in 2-loop perturbation theory, and may offer a window for electroweak baryogenesis. The main remaining uncertainties concern the physical value of the right-handed stop mass which according to our analysis could be as high as m_tR ~ 155 GeV; a more precise effective theory derivation and vacuum renormalization than available at present are needed for confirming this value.

description: We report the observation a continuous rotation of the polarization in Mn$_{0.95}$Co$_{0.05}$WO$_{4}$ under magnetic field. At zero field, this compound shows a transition into the spiral magnetic and ferroelectric phase at 12.2K, which is the ground state, with the polarization oriented along the b-axis. Increasing b-axis magnetic fields rotate the ferroelectric polarization continuously toward the a-axis, indicating a rotation of the spin spiral plane. This rotation extends over a large field and temperature range. At a constant magnetic field of 3 Tesla, the polarization also rotates from the a-axis at the ferroelectric transition toward the b-axis upon decreasing temperature.

description: We discuss preliminaries of a calculation of the form factors for the semileptonic decays B -> pi lv, B_s -> K lv, and B -> K ll. We simulate with NRQCD heavy and HISQ light valence quarks on the MILC 2+1 dynamical asqtad configurations. The form factors are calculated over a range of momentum transfer to allow determination of their shape and the extraction of |V_ub|. Additionally, we are calculating ratios of these form factors to those for the unphysical decay B_s -> eta_s. We are studying the possibility of combining these precisely determined ratios with future calculations of B_s ->eta_s using HISQ b-quarks to generate form factors with significantly reduced errors.

description: Lefua echigonia is an endangered freshwater species in Japan, whose habitats are decreasing due to urbanization and modernization of agriculture. In addition, invasion by non-native crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, is known to be a threat to L. echigonia. Whereas we observed P. clarkii at L. echigonia habitats such as large gravels, little is known about the impact of P. clarkii invasions on L. echigonia. In this study, we conducted a laboratory experiment using a 25-cm cylinder to observe swimming behaviour of L. echigonia with varying number of P. clarkii individuals and the presence/absence of a rectangular obstacle at the center. Swimming trajectories were obtained from a series of images taken 30 frames per second, based on which swimming speed, acceleration, and distance between individuals were calculated for the assessment of behavioural changes with P. clarkii introduction. No feed was given for both species during experiment. While both species moved along the wall during experiment under no obstacle condition, L. echigonia was more active than P. clarkia. Behavioural changes were observed when the obstacle was placed in the center. Foraging by P. clarkii was expected but no such a behaviour was observed even under the condition where more P. clarkii individuals were put together. Whereas no foraging behaviour was observed, some L. echigonia individuals stayed around the brick which is similar to P. clarkia. This suggests potential habitat overlaps between the two species. Further study can reveal species competition under more complex, dynamic instream conditions for which image analysis with high-speed/high-resolution cameras can be used as a tool for reliable assessment.

Resulta de uma prática pedagógica continuada que, ao longo dos últimos anos, tem procurado articular a formação técnica do desenho com uma reflexão crítica e sensível sobre o papel da representação na génese do projecto arquitectónico. Embora concebido como instrumento de apoio ao ensino, o seu horizonte ultrapassa o contexto estrito da unidade curricular, visando propor um contributo mais amplo para a pedagogia do desenho em arquitectura.
A weighted belief-propagation algorithm to estimate volume-related properties of random polytopes

description: In this work we introduce a novel weighted message-passing algorithm based on the cavity method to estimate volume-related properties of random polytopes, properties which are relevant in various research fields ranging from metabolic networks, to neural networks, to compressed sensing. Unlike the usual approach consisting in approximating the real-valued cavity marginal distributions by a few parameters, we propose an algorithm to faithfully represent the entire marginal distribution. We explain various alternatives to implement the algorithm and benchmark the theoretical findings by showing concrete applications to random polytopes. The results obtained with our approach are found to be in very good agreement with the estimates produced by the Hit-and-Run algorithm, known to produce uniform sampling.

title: Legal Capacity and Supported Decision-Making: Lessons and Outcomes of Pilot Projects Implementing Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
Creators: name: Latimier, Camille
Publisher: name: University of Kent

description: The present thesis explores the notion of legal capacity and supported decision-making as enshrined in Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The thesis begins by outlining the policy context, how guardianship has been progressively criticised and reformed and how the notion of supported decision-making gradually expanded until the genesis of Article 12. A narrative review explores how scholars have grappled with the meaning of supported decision-making and attempted to define what it means concretely. Many questions remain largely unanswered and there is a need for guidance on how Article 12 can be implemented in practice, how to operationalise Article 12 and make sure that supported decision-making is also available to people with high support needs. This review is followed by an analysis of four pilot studies that were previously evaluated and findings made publicly available. It concludes that the existing evaluations do not provide answers in sufficient detail to allow the construction of a tool to analyse the implementation of Article 12 in practice. The second part of this thesis thus responds to the gaps identified in the previous literature and evaluations. To do so it explores the aims, methodology, outcomes and lessons learnt in six pilot projects seeking to implement supported decision-making in different parts of the world. An analytical framework, based on the findings of previously reviewed literature and theory, delineates nine domains that serve to analyse the impact and outcomes of each pilot project. Detailed analysis of the six pilot projects concludes that, although the pilot projects go some way towards operationalising and implementing Article 12, there remain many gaps in this respect. This thesis concludes with the discussion of the findings and the consideration of implications for research, policy development and new pilot projects to achieve a real culture change. Several structural barriers and challenges need to be solved to advance Article 12 implementation. Resistance to changes, gaps in policy and practice, lack of infrastructure remain the principal challenges ahead. Successful implementation of Article 12 implies to encourage a culture of change, working on law, policy, practice and training programmes in synergies.
Pulsar emission at the bottom end of the electromagnetic spectrum

description: Pulsars are arguably the only astrophysical sources whose emission spans the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from decameter radio wavelengths to TeV energies. The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) offers the unique possibility to study pulsars over a huge fractional bandwidth in the bottom 4 octaves of the radio window, from 15-240 MHz. Here we present a LOFAR study of pulsar single pulses, focussing specifically on the bright nearby pulsar B0809+74. We show that the spectral width of bright low-frequency pulses can be as narrow as 1 MHz and scales with increasing frequency as df/f ~ 0.15, at least in the case of the PSR B0809+74. This appears to be intrinsic to the pulsar, as opposed to being due to propagation effects. If so, this behavior is consistent with predictions by the strong plasma turbulence model of pulsar radio emission. We also present other observed properties of the single pulses and discuss their relation to other single-pulse phenomena like giant pulses.
