description: In a space based gravitational wave antenna like LISA, involving long light paths linking distant emitter/receiver spacecrafts, signal detection amounts to measuring the light-distance variationsthrough a phase change at the receiver. This is why spurious phase fluctuations due to various mechanical/thermal effects must be carefully studied. We consider here a possible pointing jitter in the light beam sent from the emitter. We show how the resulting phase noise depends on the quality of the wavefront due to the incident beam impinging on the telescope and due to the imperfections of the telescope itself. Namely, we numerically assess the crossed influence of various defects (aberrations and astigmatisms), inherent to a real telescope with pointing fluctuations.

description: We have studied the field dependence of the magnetization in epilayers of the diluted magnetic semiconductor Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As for 0.0135 < x < 0.083. Measurements of the low temperature magnetization in fields up to 3 T show a significant deficit in the total moment below that expected for full saturation of all the Mn spins. These results suggest that the spin state of the non-ferromagnetic Mn spins is energetically well separated from the ferromagnetism of the bulk of the spins. We have also studied the coercive field (Hc) as a function of temperature and Mn concentration, finding that Hc decreases with increasing Mn concentration as predicted theoretically.

description: For $β>1$, let $T_β:[0,1]\rightarrow [0,1)$ be the $β$-transformation. We consider an invariant $T_β$-orbit closure contained in a closed interval with diameter $1/β$, then define a function $Ξ(α,β)$ by the supremum of such $T_β$-orbit with frequency $α$ in base $β$, i.e., the maximum value in the $T_β$-orbit closure. This paper effectively determines the maximal domain of $Ξ$, and explicitly specifies all possible minimal intervals containing $T_β$-orbits.

description: The increasing cosmic ray statistics collected by present experiments and the future prospects with new large arrays demand accurate calculations of the extensive air shower parameters. The energy of the primary particle is estimated by ground arrays fitting a lateral distribution function (LDF) to the particle densities at a given observing level. However, the lack of appropriate parameterization for these distributions, able to reproduce the data collected from all arrival directions, makes it difficult the experimental analysis. Starting from analytical LDF for vertical showers we study the atmospheric depth dependence of the shower parameters, which is necessary to obtain the corresponding particle density distributions for inclined showers. In our approach both geometrical and atmospheric attenuation effects producing a lateral asymmetry in non-vertical showers are included. The resulting electron and muon LDF fit very well the Monte Carlo simulated data at all zenith angles.

Human Rights and Clinical Psychology in the United Kingdom from 1948 to 2018: A Critical Historical Analysis
Creators: name: Jones, Christopher
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2019

description: Human rights morality and law represent an authoritative way to challenge systems of oppression that can have a deleterious impact on people’s mental health. Clinical psychology and human rights uphold similar underlying principles such as dignity, respect and equality. Clinical psychologists often work with individuals who have experienced, and continue to experience, human rights violations. However, the individualising technologies of the profession continue to be criticised for not challenging abuses of power and the perpetuation of social inequalities. This research aimed to critically investigate the historical conditions that have given rise to the relationship between clinical psychology and human rights. Documents relating to the professional practice of clinical psychologists in the United Kingdom were analysed using thematic analysis underpinned by critical realism. These findings were incorporated into a three-tiered framework of macro, meso and micro influences. Analysis showed that the few explicit references to human rights in the documents relating to the practice of clinical psychology were not sustained or developed into later documents. Most often appeals to human rights were vague and there was no discussion about professional obligations to integrate standards in everyday practice, service design or policy. In addition, these standards only upheld a narrow range of human rights which limited the ethical vision of the profession as it was developing. This pattern of engagement with human rights across the history of clinical psychology was explored by reference to transhistorical, global, national and professional pressures. The research concludes by exploring the implications for a renewed clinical psychology more aligned to human rights morality and law.
Variational mean-fluctuation splitting and drift-fluid models

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: After reviewing the variational approach to splitting mean flow and fluctuation kinetics in the standard Vlasov theory, the same method is applied to the drift-kinetic equation from Littlejohn's theory of guiding-center motion. This process sheds a new light on drift-ordered fluid (drift-fluid) models, whose anisotropic pressure tensor is then considered in detail. In addition, current drift-fluid models are completed by the insertion of magnetization terms ensuring momentum conservation. Magnetization currents are also shown to lead to challenging aspects when drift-fluid models are coupled to Maxwell's equations for the evolution of the electromagnetic field. In order to overcome these difficulties, a simplified guiding-center theory is proposed along with its possible applications to hybrid kinetic-fluid models.

Blending Light and Dark: A Qualitative Analysis of the Experiences of Stress and Growth in Retired Police Officers
Creators: name: Contreras-Negretti, Vanessa
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2019

description: This research aimed to explore the experiences of operational stress in retired police officers and of their growth following the adverse events they had faced during their service in U.K. police forces. As there exists a paucity of studies on retired officers, the rationale for exploring these participants’ perspectives in the present study was illuminated through the review and critical analysis of relevant theory and research on stress and growth among serving police officers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants and the resultant transcripts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), which gave rise to seven superordinate themes: “How stress presents itself”; “The weight of accountability”; “Diverse ways of coping”; “The corrosive nature of distress”; “Breaking point”; “Anchored in macho narratives” and “Forged in the fire”. Findings were discussed at an interpersonal level, which examined culturally-specific aspects of experiencing operational stress, emotion and vulnerability within the police and also at the individual level. More specifically, findings showed that in the context of stress and inconsistent support, officers had distanced themselves from the organisation, minimising distress, before turning to social groups for support. Furthermore, within the hegemonic, masculine context of the police, officers had been left to construe the expression of emotion as unhelpful or unacceptable, leaving them in a state of emotional isolation and often extricating them from their own internal worlds. Findings suggested that the minimisation of emotion was construed as adaptive in terms of job performance but toxic in hindering officers’ capacity to make sense of their individual and interpersonal experiences. Recommendations were made in relation to more comprehensive police training around the expression of emotion; around the need for the police organisation to become a more secure base, where operational stress may be contained and harnessed in order to enhance performance and in terms of the necessity to move away from clinical interventions that rely purely on help seeking practices of the individual.
Psychological Therapists’ Wellbeing in the Context of IAPT-NHS: A Foucauldian Discourse Analysis
Creators: name: Bermudez Otero, Paula
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2019

description: This study set out to gain in depth and critical understanding of how psychological therapists working in IAPT-NHS services construct the concept of their wellbeing at work. Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA) was used to identify the available discourses mobilised by these practitioners and map out their impact on subjectivity and practice, as well as the role of the specific NHS-IAPT context. Ten psychological therapists working in IAPT services across two East London NHS Trusts were interviewed, using a semi-structured interview which also featured a visual task to elicit information. The interview narratives were analysed using FDA through the lens of a moderate social constructionist position. The analysis identified four main discursive constructions of wellbeing: (1) wellbeing as an individual responsibility; (2) wellbeing as a collective responsibility; (3) wellbeing as self-actualisation; and (4) wellbeing as productivity. Each presented a picture of duality and contradiction, delineated by the subject positions made available. Notably, for the first two constructions, the subject positions of responsible and irresponsible alternated between the individual and the service, with particular impact on the ability to voice wellbeing difficulties at work. Subject positions of the good/ideal therapist and the good employee, corresponding to the latter two constructions, were mediated by the introduction of IAPT as a sub-context. IAPT was constructed as an inflexible, target-driven system in which participants seemed unable to hold both the good/ideal therapist and good employee position, resulting in a constant tension that seemed to only be resolved by giving up one of the two positions. The conclusion addresses the benefits of approaching the issue of psychological therapists’ wellbeing at work beyond the individualistic, neoliberal perspective, with particular recommendations to: (1) direct more funding to protect the NHS’s therapeutic function, preventing further expansion of the market discourse into mental health services; (2) promote congruence between policies and practices at work, aligned with a collectivist perspective of wellbeing where both the individual and the system share responsibility and support; and (3) increase IAPT’s flexibility to adapt appropriately to diversity.

description: We exploit a few- to many-body approach to study strongly interacting dipolar bosons in the quasi-one-dimensional system. The dipoles attract each other while the short range interactions are repulsive. Solving numerically the multi-atom Schrödinger equation, we discover that such systems can exhibit not only the well known bright soliton solutions but also novel quantum droplets for a strongly coupled case. For larger systems, basing on microscopic properties of the found few-body solution, we propose a new equation for a density amplitude of atoms. It accounts for fermionization for strongly repelling bosons by incorporating the Lieb-Liniger energy in a local density approximation and approaches the standard Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) in the weakly interacting limit. Not only does such a framework provide an alternative mechanism of the droplet stability, but it also introduces means to further analyze this previously unexplored quantum phase. In the limiting strong repulsion case, yet another simple multi-atom model is proposed. We stress that the celebrated Lee-Huang-Yang term in the GPE is not applicable in this case.

description: Background & Aims of the Study: Sohan is one of the confectionery products produced in Qom, Iran. Microbial contamination of confectionary items is crucial in terms of hygienic and economic issues. This sort of spoilage shortens the storage time and causes an outbreak of food poisoning. Due to the high utilization of these products, it is vital to implement microbiological management to improve shelf life and maintain quality. The present study aimed to evaluate the levels of microbiological contamination in Sohan.
Materials and Methods: In this study, the Sohan products of Qom were classified according to the Code of Health, standard logo, as well as ISO 9001:2008 and 22000:2005 certifications. Then, 1 to 2 boxes (out of 7 boxes) were purchased from an official representative shop in Qom. The diagnostic and enumeration tests for Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia coli (E. coli), coagulase-positive staphylococcus, as well as molds and yeasts, were performed in accordance with the national standards of 2461-1, 2946, 6806-3, and 10899-2, respectively.
Results: Results of this study showed that 71.4% of the samples contained Enterobacteriaceae, and 14.2% of the samples contained coagulase-positive staphylococci higher than the determined standard levels. In addition, no case of contamination with molds, yeasts, and E. coli was observed among the samples.Conclusion: Findings of the present investigation indicated the necessity for the precise implementation of Good Hygiene Practices in the factories manufacturing this product.http://jhygiene.muq.ac.ir/article-1-376-en.html

description: Strangeness enhancement in heavy-ion collisions is studied at the parton level by examining the partition of the new sea quarks generated by gluon conversion into the strange and non-strange sectors. The CTEQ parton distribution functions are used as a baseline for the quiescent sea before gluon conversion. By quark counting simple constraints are placed on the hadron yields in different channels. The experimental values of particle ratios are fitted to determine the strangeness enhancement factor. A quantitative measure of Pauli blocking is determined. Energy dependence between SPS and RHIC energies is well described. No thermal equilibrium or statistical model is assumed.

description: This study uses a mixed methods approach to bridge the gap between political rhetorical and political qualitative scholarship as a way to understand how political leaders and voters seek out information, connection, and formulate their voter identity on social media. First, this study uses a qualitative approach to understand how voters participate with political information on social media. I conducted interviews with participants that ranged from ages 21 to 55, and represented voters of various political affiliations, religious ideologies, and geographic locations. By gathering individuals’ stories and experiences, I uncovered various internal motivations and dilemmas that create a personal decision to politically participate on social media. Ultimately, this part of the study further reveals how our social media participation impacts our individual voter identity. Second, I conducted a rhetorical analysis of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Instagram account (@aoc) from July 2020 to November 2020. I argue that female political leaders utilize social media as a way to perform their identities, manage double binds, and subvert systems of power that seek to keep their voices sidelined. The double binds of femininity/competence and aging/invisibility work together in an attempt to discredit AOC’s electability and aim to keep her out of future political leadership. However, AOC navigates these binds by revealing that she isn’t trying to play the game of electability: rather she is aiming for a better world. Ultimately, this mixed methods approach expands political communication scholarship as a way to further understand how social media impacts voter and leader identity in United States politics.

description: The primary objective of this essay is to present how selection and orientation at the workplace are regulated and practiced at an American profit oriented company. Moreover, considering these practices to outline the disciplines which determine and influence them. The first part of this essay is a literature review which specifically illustrates various perspectives of selection and orientation at the workplace. Following this review, the objectives of this paper are enumerated. The next part presents the case study, the half-structured interview and the questionnaire methods used for this research. The results and the discussion parts are separated, because the results part shows how selection and orientation work in practice and then, by examining the results in some detail, the discussion part presents the disciplines which have been extrapolated. In order to support the conceived disciplines this paper also seeks to examine the most important supporting factors in the procedure of work orientation. General and professional/organizational factors of workplace orientation have been collected. Quantitative data from an empirical analysis is used for the research. Qualitative data is a part of a future dissertation. Questionnaires were completed by 80 employees at a distributor company in the United States of America. The results clearly show that the following disciplines should be maintained through these HR processes: equal opportunity, importance of professionalism, documentary, checking, support and continuance.

description: A rapid change of channels in high-speed mobile communications will lead to difficulties in channel estimation and tracking but can also provide Doppler diversity. In this paper, the performance of a multiple-input multiple-output system with pilot-assisted repetition coding and spatial multiplexing is studied. With minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimation, an equivalent channel model and the corresponding system model are presented. Based on random matrix theory, asymptotic expressions of the normalized achievable sum rate of the linear receivers, such as the maximal ratio combining (MRC) receiver, MMSE receiver and MRC-like receiver, are derived. In addition, according to the symbol error rate of the MRC-like receiver, the maximum normalized Doppler diversity order and the minimum coding gain loss can be achieved when the repetition number and signal-to-noise ratio tend to infinity, and the corresponding conditions are derived. Based on the theoretical results, the impacts of different system configurations and channel parameters on the system performance are demonstrated.

description: The Farm Service Agency’s (FSA) Farm Business Plan was used to compare the characteristics of beginning farmers receiving direct Farm Ownership (FO) loans in fiscal 2005 by the type of delivery mechanism. Regular FO loans were commonly used by small and intermediate size family farming operations while FO loans made in participation with commercial lenders were used by larger commercial-sized family farming operations. Startup beginning farmers in the Corn Belt were more likely to utilize FO downpayment loans. Regardless of the delivery mechanism, nearly all beginning farmers receiving direct FO loans had credit shortcomings that could inhibit them from commercial credit.
The Place of Self-Esteem and Social Life in Interactive Virtual Gaming: A Mixed-Methods Investigation into the Lived Experience of Pokémon Go Players
Creators: name: Rasqui, Sandra
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2019

description: Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) has been incorporated in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11; June, 2018) following extensive research indicating that virtual gaming is addictive for many. Maladaptive play affects players’ social relationships and self-esteem in particular, and can lead to other mental health conditions. Meanwhile, Pokémon Go (PG) was launched in 2016 as a unique game that leads players to venture outside to catch Pokémon characters on mobile devices, encouraging interactions with others. Various writers assert that PG can deliver mental health benefits—although this has not yet been confirmed by substantive evidence. This study examined the perceptions and experiences of playing PG, from the perspectives of players themselves, emphasising any changes they may have experienced in their self-esteem and social lives as a result, while exploring its potential for maladaptive play. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, involving an online survey with over 100 PG players to establish player profiles and perceived changes since playing, using standardised scales and open-ended items, and semi-structured interviews with six players (examined using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA)). The survey found that PG enhanced players’ social lives more than other games, though no change was measured in self-esteem and quality of social life from before playing (reported retrospectively) to the time of study. Most players indicated that PG was an active entertainment that improved social life, wellbeing and self-concept. The IPA found three superordinate themes: Social gains encapsulated players’ sense of being ‘a collective’ facilitating social interaction towards starting/strengthening relationships in a ‘blurred’ PG reality, where the real self had novel experiences. Psychological gains included improved mood, social skills and confidence, interpreted as greater self-esteem, through others’ recognition and achievement of goals, and increased activity, exploration or learning. Undesirable consequences included issues tied to the game (technological) or play (boredom, hazards) and its impact on work or relationships through compulsive play. While Counselling Psychologists may explore the game as a novel tool to help clients with social or relational difficulties, they should be mindful of its propensity to be addictive for individuals prone to pathological gaming with symptoms similar to IGD. More research is required to understand the factors associated with interactive games, with a particular focus on players themselves, as they explain their personal experiences (both positive and negative) of extensive game play.

description: We examine the high-frequency differential conductivity response properties of semiconductor superlattices having various miniband dispersion laws. Our analysis shows that the anharmonicity of Bloch oscillations (beyond tight-binding approximation) leads to the occurrence of negative high-frequency differential conductivity at frequency multiples of the Bloch frequency. This effect can arise even in regions of positive static differential conductivity. The influence of strong electron scattering by optic phonons is analyzed. We propose an optimal superlattice miniband dispersion law to achieve high-frequency field amplification.

description: In a series of treaties from 1871 to 1876, Canadian prairie aboriginal claims were extinguished and Indian First Nations were confined to reserves scattered throughout the prairies. In recent years, a number of First Nation claims have been brought forward based on unfair or illegal surrender or exchange of the original land. There are a number of possible economic losses stemming from such cases, but the largest source of economic loss likely stems from the loss of farmland and its associated loss of agricultural use. This paper reviews a procedure for estimating historical agricultural loss of use, discusses several key issues and presents an application based on a hypothetical case example.

An Exploration of Teachers’ Experiences of Managing Challenging Behaviour in the Classroom
Creators: name: Skidmore, Katie
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2019

description: This study explored the experiences of primary school teachers who sought support with managing challenging behaviour in the classroom. Its aim was to consider how best to support teachers who encounter difficulties occasioned by ‘behaviour that challenges’ in the classroom. The approach taken was to gain teachers’ perspectives on their needs in this situation, which is then considered in light of a cross-section of recent educational psychology research in this area. In this study, the experiences of the teachers involved are considered from an eco-systemic perspective, following similar approaches advocated by Cooper and Upton (1990) and Miller (2003). Here this is achieved through considering the follow interacting levels of influence that could impact a teacher in this position: their internal thoughts and feelings when dealing with the behaviour, the systems in place at school to support them, and finally the effectiveness of the support provided by the educational psychologist from their perspective. Adopting a mixed-methods design, a purposeful sample of 11 primary school teachers responded anonymously to an online survey about their experiences of supporting a child with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD), defined here as “challenging behaviour”. The survey also inquired the teachers’ experiences of seeking support at school with behaviour concerns, and ultimately working with an educational psychologist. A further 6 primary school teachers participated in semi-structured interviews about their experiences, providing more in-depth insights. Their views were then analysed using thematic analysis. The findings were considered in terms of their internal thoughts and feelings, the level of perceived support at school, and the impact of working with an educational psychologist in helping them to feel supported. The purpose of this study is add to the discussion around best practice for educational psychologists in working with schools around behaviour concerns, taking into account the multiple possible levels at which assessment and intervention can meaningfully take place. It also considers what role, if any, educational psychologists can contribute to teachers’ wellbeing.

description: This paper studies the physics of junctions containing superconducting $(S)$ and normal $(N)$ leads weakly coupled to an Anderson impurity in the Kondo regime $(K)$. Special attention is devoted to the case where one of the leads is a $p-wave$ superconductor where mid-gap surface states play an important role in the tunneling processes and help the formation of Kondo resonance. The novel physics in these systems beyond that encountered in quantum dots coupled only to to normal leads is that electron transport at finite bias $eV$ in $SKN$ and $SKS$ junctions is governed by Andreev reflections. These enable the occurrence of dissipative current even when the bias $eV$ is smaller than the superconducting gap $Δ$. Using the slave boson mean field approximation the current, shot-noise power and Fano factor are calculated as functions of the applied bias voltage in the sub-gap region $eV < Δ$ and found to be strongly dependent on the ratio $t_K$ between the Kondo temperature $T_{K}$ and the superconducting gap $Δ$. In particular, for large values of $t_K$ the attenuation of current due to the existence of the superconducting gap is compensated by the Kondo effect. This scenario is manifested also in the behavior of the Josephson current as function of temperature.

description: This study aimed to explore Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) therapists’ experiences of staying with their clients’ intense emotional experiencing. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five qualified ISTDP therapists. Participants’ accounts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The analysis generated three superordinate themes: (1) “Opening that door”: striving for emotional closeness, (2) Connection versus disconnection: what’s happening in the room, and (3) “There’s more of myself now”: building one’s own capacity. These themes were each supported by several subordinate themes that highlight the complexities and ambiguities inherent in intensive, experientially-focused therapeutic work from a psychodynamic perspective. The findings of the study reveal: (1) a paradox of the moment-by-moment precision aimed for by therapists, whereby effectiveness can be accompanied by a heightened focus on what gets missed; (2) how therapists make sense of the therapeutic relationship as a place of safety and risk; and (3) the importance of deliberate practice to help therapists build their capacity to work effectively with their clients’ deep emotions. Participants’ accounts also suggested that core features of the theory and practice of ISTDP, such as its analytic stance and active, collaborative style, aligns well with counselling psychology’s concern for integrative, evidenced based practice that prioritises the therapeutic relationship as the vehicle for change. Applicability to clinical practice in counselling psychology is highlighted. Future directions include research into the somatic experiences of therapists involved in helping facilitate a therapeutic experience of emotion with their clients.

description: Ninety farm households located in East-Central Saskatchewan were surveyed to determine the characteristics that affected their decision to enter into, expand, or not expand cow-calf production between 1995 and 2001. Of the 90 farm households, 36 had increased, 40 had maintained, and 14 had decreased the size of their beef cowherd between 1995 and 2001. The study found first that given the effect of age on the probability of beef cowherd expansion, new entrants to farming will be needed if beef cattle numbers are to significantly expand. Second, in order to cover the high switching costs involved with shifting from grain to cow-calf production, the farm household typically needs to borrow money. Third, farm households that owned beef cows in 1995 are the group of farm households that have been predominantly responsible for the expansion of the beef cowherd in the research area between 1995 and 2001. Fourth, farm households with farm operators earning income from off-farm employment were hindered from expanding their beef cowherd between 1995 and 2001. Farm advisors should realize farm households consider many other factors in their decision making than just on-farm economics.

Brane fusion in the bosonic string and the emergence of fermionic strings

description: We review the emergence of the ten-dimensional fermionic closed string theories from subspaces of the Hilbert space of the 26-dimensional bosonic closed string theory compactified on an $E_8\times SO(16)$ lattice. They arise from a consistent truncation procedure which generates space-time fermions out of bosons. This procedure is extended to open string sectors. We prove that truncation of the unique tadpole-free $SO(2^{13})$ bosonic string theory compactified on the above lattice determines the anomaly free Chan-Paton group of the Type I theory and the consistent Chan-Paton groups of Type O theories. It also predicts the tension of space-filling D-branes in these fermionic theories. The derivation of these fermionic string properties from bosonic considerations alone points towards a dynamical origin of the truncation process. Space-time fermions and supersymmetries would then arise from bosonic degrees of freedom and no fermionic degrees of freedom would be needed in a fundamental theory of quantum gravity.

description: Marketing strategies are analyzed for field pea and lentil producers in the Northern Plains. Seasonal price patterns were derived from the 1999-2003 marketing years. Correlations indicate that corn futures may provide risk reduction for cross-hedging pea prices. Relationships were too weak to consider a cross-hedge for lentils. Combining a pre-harvest strategy with a marketing loan strategy offered the best total net price for the pea crop in 2004. No one marketing loan strategy performed best during the two crop years examined and no one month stood out as the best time for selling field peas and lentils. Earlier generally was better than later for selling the 2004 crop, whereas the middle of the marketing year worked best for the 2003 crop.
Entropy of Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase Strings

description: In a previous paper, we proposed a probability interpretation for higher genus amplitudes of BMN (Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase) strings in a pp-wave background with infinite negative curvature. This provides a natural definition of the entropy of a BMN string as the Shannon entropy of its corresponding probability distribution. We prove a universal upper bound that the entropy grows at most logarithmically in the strong string coupling limit. We also study the entropy by numerical methods and discuss some interesting salient features.

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents are revolutionizing industries by enabling autonomous decision-making, task execution, and multi-agent collaboration. This paper provides a comprehensive review of AI agent frameworks, focusing on their architectures, applications, and challenges in financial services. We conduct a comparative analysis of leading frameworks, including LangGraph, CrewAI, and AutoGen, evaluating their strengths, limitations, and suitability for complex financial tasks such as trading, risk assessment, and investment analysis. The integration of AI agents in financial markets presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly in terms of regulatory compliance, ethical considerations, and model robustness. We examine agentic AI design patterns, multi-agent systems, and the deployment of AI agents advancing the proposal to use them for fraud detection and risk management. By synthesizing insights from academic research and industry practices, this review identifies key trends and future directions in AI agent development. This work contributes to the growing discourse on AI-driven automation by outlining technical considerations and open challenges in deploying AI agents at scale. We highlight the need for enhanced transparency, interpretability, and security in AI-driven Agentic systems. Our findings provide valuable insights for researchers and practitioners seeking to harness AI agents for more efficient and intelligent decision-making.
