Emotion regulation and psychological mechanisms in parenthood
Creators: name: Bannister, Gina
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2022

description: The arrival of an infant can be a rewarding yet challenging time for parents. There is a need to adapt and navigate their new roles and contexts with reduced resources. This research aimed to explore psychological mechanisms in parents of infants which are important during this period of adjustment. Chapter 1 outlines a review of quantitative literature examining the relationship between emotion regulation and psychological distress (defined as depression, anxiety, and stress) in parents of infants. Four databases were systematically searched, and seventeen papers met the requirements for inclusion. The findings of the review highlighted reduced emotion regulation correlated with depression, anxiety, and stress. Emotion regulation and psychological distress were also found to be crucial mechanisms in mediation models with additional variables related to parenthood. Recognising the relationship between specific measures of emotion regulation and psychological distress for parents, may allow for clinical interventions which focus more on reducing dysregulation, rather that improving regulating skills. Chapter 2 reports an empirical study investigating the relationship between childhood adversity and parental reflective functioning in fathers. The role of emotion regulation was also considered in this relationship. Fathers (n = 140) of infants completed online self-report measures to assess the study variables. No relationship was found between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and two domains of parental reflective functioning (PRF). Emotion regulation was found to mediate the relationship between ACEs and the PRF domain certainty about mental states. The results suggest that ACEs do not influence certain PRF domains, but that emotion dysregulation is an important mechanism in understanding this relationship. The study proposed that reducing emotion dysregulation for fathers can help promote parental reflective functioning. Chapter 3 outlines the main findings and discusses key decision making throughout the research process. Finally, reflections on the thesis journey are described.

description: We address the problem of grasping everyday ob- jects that are small relative to an anthropomorphic hand, such as pens, screwdrivers, cellphones, and hammers from their nat- ural poses on a support surface, e.g., a table top. In such con- ditions, state of the art grasp generation techniques fail to pro- vide robust, achievable solutions due to either ignoring or try- ing to avoid contact with the support surface. In contrast, when people grasp small objects, they often make use of substan- tial contact with the support surface. In this paper we give re- sults of human subjects grasping studies which show the ex- tent and characteristics of environment contact under differ- ent task conditions. We develop a simple closed-loop hybrid grasping controller that mimics this interactive, contact-rich strategy by a position-force, pre-grasp and landing strategy for finger placement. The approach uses a compliant control of the hand during the grasp and release of objects in order to preserve safety. We conducted extensive robotic grasping ex- periments on a variety of small objects with similar shape and size. The results demonstrate that our approach is robust to lo- calization uncertainties and applies to many everyday objects.

description: Imaging and spectroscopic observations of planetary nebulae (PNe) in the nearest large elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 (Centaurus A), were obtained to find more PNe and measure their radial velocities. NTT imaging was obtained in 15 fields in NGC 5128 over an area of about 1 square degree with EMMI using [O III] and off-band filters. Newly detected sources, combined with literature PNe, were used as input for VLT FLAMES multi-fibre spectroscopy in MEDUSA mode. Spectra of the 4600-5100A region were analysed and velocities measured based on emission lines of [O III]4959,5007A and often H-beta. The chief results are catalogues of 1118 PN candidates and 1267 spectroscopically confirmed PNe in NGC 5128. The catalogue of PN candidates contains 1060 PNe discovered with EMMI imaging and 58 from literature surveys. The spectroscopic PN catalogue has FLAMES radial velocity and emission line measurements for 1135 PNe, of which 486 are new. Another 132 PN radial velocities are available from the literature. For 629 PNe observed with FLAMES, H-beta was measured in addition to [O III]. Nine targets show double-lined or more complex profiles, and their possible origin is discussed. FLAMES spectra of 48 globular clusters were also targetted: 11 had emission lines detected (two with multiple components), but only 3 are PNe likely to belong to the host globular. The total of 1267 confirmed PNe in NGC 5128 with radial velocity measurements (1135 with small velocity errors) is the largest collection of individual kinematic probes in an early-type galaxy. This PN dataset, as well as the catalogue of PN candidates, are valuable resources for detailed investigation of the stellar population of NGC 5128. [Abridged]

description: Decision making in robotics often involves computing an optimal action for a
given state, where the space of actions under consideration can potentially be large
and state dependent. Many of these decision making problems can be naturally
formalized in the multiclass classiﬁcation framework, where actions are regarded
as labels for states. One powerful approach to multiclass classiﬁcation relies on
learning a function that scores each action; action selection is done by returning
the action with maximum score. In this work, we focus on two imitation learning
problems in particular that arise in robotics. The ﬁrst problem is footstep prediction for quadruped locomotion, in which the system predicts next footstep locations greedily given the current four-foot conﬁguration of the robot over a terrain
height map. The second problem is grasp prediction, in which the system must
predict good grasps of complex free-form objects given an approach direction for
a robotic hand. We present experimental results of applying a recently developed
functional gradient technique for optimizing a structured margin formulation of
the corresponding large non-linear multiclass classiﬁcation problems.

description: We consider distributed optimization where $N$ nodes in a connected network minimize the sum of their local costs subject to a common constraint set. We propose a distributed projected gradient method where each node, at each iteration $k$, performs an update (is active) with probability $p_k$, and stays idle (is inactive) with probability $1-p_k$. Whenever active, each node performs an update by weight-averaging its solution estimate with the estimates of its active neighbors, taking a negative gradient step with respect to its local cost, and performing a projection onto the constraint set; inactive nodes perform no updates. Assuming that nodes' local costs are strongly convex, with Lipschitz continuous gradients, we show that, as long as activation probability $p_k$ grows to one asymptotically, our algorithm converges in the mean square sense (MSS) to the same solution as the standard distributed gradient method, i.e., as if all the nodes were active at all iterations. Moreover, when $p_k$ grows to one linearly, with an appropriately set convergence factor, the algorithm has a linear MSS convergence, with practically the same factor as the standard distributed gradient method. Simulations on both synthetic and real world data sets demonstrate that, when compared with the standard distributed gradient method, the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the overall number of per-node communications and per-node gradient evaluations (computational cost) for the same required accuracy.

description: While market-based approaches, such as TraderBots,
have shown much promise for efficient coordination of
multirobot teams, the cost estimation mechanism and its
impact on solution efficiency has not been investigated. This
paper provides a first analysis of the cost estimation process in
the TraderBots approach applied to a distributed sensing task.
In the presented implementation, path costs are estimated
using the D* path-planning algorithm with optimistic costing of
unknown map-cells. The reported results show increased team
efficiency when cost estimates reflect different environmental
and mission characteristics. Thus, this paper demonstrates
that market-based approaches can improve team efficiency if
cost estimates take into account environmental and mission
characteristics. These findings encourage future research on
applying learning techniques for on-line modification of cost
estimation and in market-based coordination.

description: Among several tasks in Machine Learning, a specially important one is that of inferring the latent variables of a system and their causal relations with the observed behavior. Learning a Hidden Markov Model of given stochastic process is a textbook example, known as the positive realization problem (PRP). The PRP and its solutions have far-reaching consequences in many areas of systems and control theory, and positive systems theory. We consider the scenario where the latent variables are quantum states, and the system dynamics is constrained only by physical transformations on the quantum system. The observable dynamics is then described by a quantum instrument, and the task is to determine which quantum instrument --if any-- yields the process at hand by iterative application. We take as starting point the theory of quasi-realizations, whence a description of the dynamics of the process is given in terms of linear maps on state vectors and probabilities are given by linear functionals on the state vectors. This description, despite its remarkable resemblance with the Hidden Markov Model, or the iterated quantum instrument, is nevertheless devoid of any stochastic or quantum mechanical interpretation, as said maps fail to satisfy any positivity conditions. The Completely-Positive realization problem then consists in determining whether an equivalent quantum mechanical description of the same process exists. We generalize some key results of stochastic realization theory, and show that the problem has deep connections with operator systems theory, yielding possible insight to the lifting problem in quotient operator systems. Our results have potential applications in quantum machine learning, device-independent characterization and reverse-engineering of stochastic processes and quantum processors, and dynamical processes with quantum memory.

description: EU space policy is an important field in the pursuit of EU strategic autonomy, both as regards the need to protect EU space infrastructures (and industry) from external threats and as regards the need to strengthen EU capacity to act in the space domain for security and defence purposes. However, some complexities exist in the governance of EU space policy, which may affect its ability to deliver in the above-mentioned terms. Reference is made, in particular, to: (i) the role of other international organisations, such as the European Space Agency (ESA), and of the member States, in shaping and carrying out EU space policy (ii) the nature of EU space competence as designed in the Treaties and the different procedures applicable respectively to civil and security/defence aspects of space. Recent practice shows that EU is striving to overcome such limits, with a view to equip its own space policy with the necessary tools to address security and defence challenges of the Union and of the Member States. The Insight gives account of such recent practice and singles out the main developments which allowed the EU legal system to cope with the above-mentioned difficulties, in order to realize a shift from a purely scientific/commercial approach to space policy to a more strategic one, where security and defence interests of the EU and of the Member States are taken into account and possibly addressed.

description: We have performed two kinds of non-linear fitting procedures to the single-particle energies in the $sdgh$ major shell to obtain better shell model results. The low-lying energy eigenvalues of the light Sn isotopes with $A=103-110$ in the $sdgh$-shell are calculated in the framework of the nuclear shell model by using CD-Bonn two-body effective nucleon-nucleon interaction. The obtained energy eigenvalues are fitted to the corresponding experimental values by using two different non-linear fitting procedures, i.e., downhill simplex method and clonal selection method. The unknown single-particle energies of the states $2s_{1/2}$, $1d_{3/2}$, and $0h_{11/2}$ are used in the fitting methods to obtain better spectra of the $^{104,106,108,110}$Sn isotopes. We compare the energy spectra of the $^{104,106,108,110}$Sn and $^{103,105,107,109}$Sn isotopes with/without a nonlinear fit to the experimental results.

description: The factorisation of QCD matrix elements in the limit of two external partons becoming collinear is described by process-independent splitting amplitudes, which can be expanded systematically in perturbation theory. Working in conventional dimensional regularisation, we compute the two-loop splitting amplitudes for all simple collinear splitting processes, including subleading terms in the regularisation parameter. Our results are then applied to derive an analytical expression for the two-loop single-real contribution to inclusive Higgs boson production in gluon fusion to fourth order (N3LO) in perturbative QCD.

description: Perceptrons are the basic computational unit of artificial neural networks, as they model the activation mechanism of an output neuron due to incoming signals from its neighbours. As linear classifiers, they play an important role in the foundations of machine learning. In the context of the emerging field of quantum machine learning, several attempts have been made to develop a corresponding unit using quantum information theory. Based on the quantum phase estimation algorithm, this paper introduces a quantum perceptron model imitating the step-activation function of a classical perceptron. This scheme requires resources in $\mathcal{O}(n)$ (where $n$ is the size of the input) and promises efficient applications for more complex structures such as trainable quantum neural networks.

description: The manganese induced magnetic, electrical and structural modification in InMnP epilayers, prepared by Mn ion implantation and pulsed laser annealing, are investigated in the following work. All samples exhibit clear hysteresis loops and strong spin polarization at the Fermi level. The degree of magnetization, the Curie temperature and the spin polarization depend on the Mn concentration. The bright-field transmission electron micrographs show that InP samples become almost amorphous after Mn implantation but recrystallize after pulsed laser annealing. We did not observe an insulator-metal transition in InMnP up to a Mn concentration of 5 at./%. Instead all InMnP samples show insulating characteristics up to the lowest measured temperature. Magneotresistance results obtained at low temperatures support the hopping conduction mechanism in InMnP. We find that the Mn impurity band remains detached from the valence band in InMnP up to 5 at./% Mn doping. Our findings indicate that the local environment of Mn ions in InP is similar to GaMnAs, GaMnP and InMnAs, however, the electrical properties of these Mn implanted III-V compounds are different. This is one of the consequences of the different Mn binding energy in these compounds.

Die Eintragungen sind zwar zeitlich durchgehend, jedoch chronologisch gesehen mit unterschiedlichen Abständen. In den ersten Kriegsmonaten werden sie sehr oft aufgeschrieben, später notierte der Autor nur jene Ereignisse, Beobachtungen oder eigene Kommentare, die er für wichtig oder bedeutend hielt. Es ging ihm vor allem um die innere Lage und die Sicherheit in der Stadt, schließlich war er als zweiter Bürgermeister für die Polizei und Sicherheit zuständig und zusätzlich während des Krieges für die Versorgung der Einwohner verantwortlich. Wann die handschriftlichen Notizen mit der Schreibmaschine abgeschrieben wurden und auf welchem Wege schließlich diese Quelle im Museum eintraf, bleibt ungewiss. Jedenfalls besitzt sie einen hohen Wert für die Historiker, insbesondere jene, die sich mit der Geschichte der Stadt Bromberg während des Ersten Weltkrieges beschäftigen und das ist der Grund dafür, warum ich mich entschieden habe, das Manuskript in originaler Sprachversion meinen Fachkollegen und sonst allen, die sich für die Geschichte der Stadt an der Brahe interessieren, zugänglich zu machen.

description: In this paper we study twisted complexes on a ringed space and prove that it gives a new dg-enhancement of the derived category of perfect complexes on that space. A twisted complex is a collection of locally defined sheaves together with the homotopic gluing data. In this paper we construct a dg-functor from twisted complexes to perfect complexes, which turns out to be a dg-enhancement. This new enhancement has the advantage of being completely geometric and it comes directly from the definition of perfect complex . In addition we will talk about some applications and further topics around twisted complexes.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of patient-selected or preselected music on anxiety in parturients undergoing scheduled cesarean delivery. Materials and methods: This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial (IRB protocol #2015P002043; ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02732964), of 150 parturients undergoing elective cesarean delivery. Parturients were randomized to patient-selected music (Pandora®), preselected music (Mozart), or no music (control). The primary outcome was anxiety after music exposure (versus no music) in the preoperative holding room. Secondary outcomes included postoperative anxiety, postoperative pain, and patient satisfaction. Results: Baseline anxiety and anxiety following preoperative exposure did not differ in the Pandora versus control group (3.8 ± 2.4 versus 4.6 ± 2.6, mean difference −0.8 [95% CI −1.8 to 0.2], p = .12), but was lower in the Mozart group versus control group (3.5 ± 2.5 versus 4.6 ± 2.5, mean difference −1.1 [95% CI −2.2 to −0.1], p = .03). Postoperative anxiety did not differ in the Pandora versus control group (1.0 ± 1.4 versus 1.3 ± 2.0, mean difference −0.3 [95% CI −1.0 to 0.4], p = .43), or in the Mozart versus control group (0.8 ± 1.3 versus 1.3 ± 2.0, mean difference −0.5 [95% CI −1.2 to 0.2], p = .15). Postoperative pain was not different in the Pandora group versus control group (0.8 ± 1.5 versus 1.4 ± 1.9, mean difference −0.6 [95% CI −1.3 to 0.1], p = .10), but was lower in the Mozart versus control group (0.6 ± 1.3 versus 1.4 ± 1.9, mean difference −0.8 [95% CI −1.4 to −0.1], p = .03). Total patient satisfaction scores were not different among the control, Pandora, and Mozart groups. Conclusion: While preselected Mozart music results in lower anxiety prior to cesarean delivery, patient-selected Pandora music does not. Further investigation to determine how music affects patients, clinicians, and the operating room environment during cesarean delivery is warranted. Clinical trial registration: NCT02732964.

description: We establish an equivalence of homotopy theories between symmetric monoidal bicategories and connective spectra. For this, we develop the theory of $Γ$-objects in 2-categories. In the course of the proof we establish strictfication results of independent interest for symmetric monoidal bicategories and for diagrams of 2-categories.

description: We present a quantitative comparison between the measurements of the complex conductance at low (kHz) and high (GHz) frequency in a thin superconducting film of NbN and the theoretical predictions of the dynamical Beresinksii-Kosterlitz-Thouless theory. While the data in the GHz regime can be well reproduced by extending the standard approach to the realistic case of an inhomogeneous sample, the low-frequency measurements present an anomalously large dissipative response around Tc. This anomaly can only be accounted for by assuming a strong slowing down of the vortex diffusion in the kHz regime, or analogously a strong reduction of the length scale probed by the incoming finite-frequency field. This effect suggests the emergence of an intrinsic length scale for the vortex motion that coincides with the typical size of inhomogeneity probed by STM measurements in disordered NbN films.

description: National autonomy in the defence industry sector is often considered key by Member States to guarantee their national security interest. However, recent developments such as the Russian military aggression against Ukraine brought the need for further integration in this domain into the spotlight. The aim of this Insight is to analyse the EU legal framework of the defence industry through the prism of strategic autonomy, considering whether such deeply fragmented regulatory system is suitable for achieving this objective. It shows that, even if the current initiatives improve cooperation between Member States in this sector, there is still the underlying lack of a common purpose to achieve full strategic autonomy that would allow transforming the EU into an autonomous geopolitical actor. Nevertheless, the defence industry is a field where Member States could more easily perceive the benefits deriving from further integration and, therefore, it is a promising starting point in the path toward European strategic autonomy in defence.
Fathers' experiences of perinatal loss

Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: This thesis is split into three sections comprising a systematic review and thematic synthesis of literature, an empirical study, and a critical appraisal of the thesis overall. The systematic review involved a thematic synthesis of 20 studies investigating experiences of perinatal loss, with the research question focusing the analysis on fathers’ experiences of support following miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant death. The review yielded three themes of this experience: (1) Gendered expectations and experiences of loss, (2) ‘if I talk about it, it upsets her even more’: conflict between supporting and needing support, and (3) Male experiences of support and service provision. The findings from the review are presented as a conceptualisation of the experience, highlighting the cyclical nature of barriers to support for fathers. The empirical study aimed to investigate fathers’ relational experiences of stillbirth through a lens of continuing bonds and the use of objects. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was conducted on data from semi-structured interviews with 6 fathers who had experienced stillbirth from 20 weeks of gestation onwards. Analysis revealed five themes: (1) ‘his baby didn’t die the mum’s baby died’: loss and continued bonds in a mother-mediated dynamic, (2) ‘its connected to your baby but it’s not connected to you and your baby together’: objects as manifestations of relational and meaningful memories, (3) ‘their death does not erase their existence’: exerting existence and continued connection to others, (4) ‘to replace the fact that she isn’t physically here’: a continued bond through physical presence, (5) ‘over time the relationship shifts too’: evolving expressions of love and fatherhood. The findings of both papers along with their strengths, limitations and pertinent clinical implications are presented in the critical appraisal along with the authors reflections on the completion of this thesis.

description: In this series of papers, we investigate the projective framework initiated by Jerzy Kijowski and Andrzej Okołów, which describes the states of a quantum (field) theory as projective families of density matrices. The present first paper aims at clarifying the classical structures that underlies this formalism, namely projective limits of symplectic manifolds. In particular, this allows us to discuss accurately the issues hindering an easy implementation of the dynamics in this context, and to formulate a strategy for overcoming them.

description: We provide a refinement of the Poincaré inequality on the torus $\mathbb{T}^d$: there exists a Lebesgue-null set $\mathcal{B} \subset \mathbb{T}^d$ of directions such that for every $α\in \mathcal{B}$ there is a $c_α > 0$ with $$ \|\nabla f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{T}^d)}^{d-1} \| \left\langle \nabla f, α\right\rangle\|_{L^2(\mathbb{T}^d)} \geq c_α\|f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{T}^d)}^{d} \qquad\mbox{for all}~f\in H^1(\mathbb{T}^d)~\mbox{with mean 0.}$$ The derivative $\left\langle \nabla f, α\right\rangle$ does not detect any oscillation in directions orthogonal to $α$, however, for certain $α$ the geodesic flow in direction $α$ is sufficiently ergodic to compensate for that defect. On the two-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^2$ the inequality holds for $α= (1, \sqrt{2})$ but fails for $α= (1,e)$. Similar results should hold at a great level of generality on very general domains.

description: The dynamic spin susceptibility (DSS) has a ubiquitous Lorentzian form in conventional materials with weak spin orbit coupling, whose spectral width characterizes the spin relaxation rate. We show that DSS has an unusual non-Lorentzian form in topological insulators, which are characterized by strong SOC. At zero temperature, the high frequency part of DSS is universal and increases in certain directions as $ω^{d-1}$ with $d=2$ and 3 for surface states and Weyl semimetals, respectively, while for helical edge states, the interactions renormalize the exponent as $d=2K-1$ with $K$ the Luttinger-liquid parameter. As a result, spin relaxation rate cannot be deduced from the DSS in contrast to the case of usual metals, which follows from the strongly entangled spin and charge degrees of freedom in these systems. These parallel with the optical conductivity of neutral graphene.

description: Background: Inflammation is a condition that jeopardizes the continuity of pregnancy because it increases the secretion of chemokines that favor the migration of leukocytes from maternal and fetal circulations to the cervix, placenta, and the chorioamniotic membranes. During pregnancy, the level of prolactin (PRL) in the amniotic fluid is high; there is evidence to suggest that PRL contributes to maintain a privileged immune environment in the amniotic cavity. We test the effect of prolactin on the secretion profile of chemokines in human fetal membranes. Methods: Nine fetal membranes collected from healthy nonlabouring cesarean deliveries at term. We placed whole membrane explants in a two-chamber culture system. Choriodecidua and amniotic chambers were pretreated with 250, 500, 1000, or 4000 ng/ml of PRL for 24 h, then choriodecidua was cotreated with 500 ng/ml of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and PRL for 24 h. We used ELISA to measure secreted levels of four chemokines (RANTES, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), MIP-1α, and IL-8) in both amnion and choriodecidua regions. Results: In comparison with basal conditions, LPS treatment induced significantly higher secretion of RANTES, MCP-1, and MIP-1α, but not of IL-8. RANTES was mainly produced by choriodecidua and cotreatment with PRL significantly decreased its LPS-induced secretion. MCP-1 was primarily produced by the amnion and its secretion was only inhibited by 4000 ng/ml of PRL. Both membrane regions produced MIP-1α, which was significantly inhibited at 1000 and 4000 ng/ml PRL concentrations. IL-8 showed no significant changes regardless of PRL concentration. Conclusion: PRL inhibits the differential secretion of proinflammatory chemokines by human fetal membranes.
