description: It is shown that in transient chaos there is no direct relation between averages in a continuos time dynamical system (flow) and averages using the analogous discrete system defined by the corresponding Poincare map. In contrast to permanent chaos, results obtained from the Poincare map can even be qualitatively incorrect. The reason is that the return time between intersections on the Poincare surface becomes relevant. However, after introducing a true-time Poincare map, quantities known from the usual Poincare map, such as conditionally invariant measure and natural measure, can be generalized to this case. Escape rates and averages, e.g. Liapunov exponents and drifts can be determined correctly using these novel measures. Significant differences become evident when we compare with results obtained from the usual Poincare map.

description: DASS transporters can behold accountant for their metabolic regulation relevance in many species. Alterations of DASS transporters affect fat storage, energy balance and lifespan. Hence, DASS proteins have been identified as a potential therapeutic target, especially members of the human family SLC13. Here, by using VcINDY (I'm not dead yet) from Vibrio cholerae as a model for DASS transporters, we have investigated the relevance of specific amino acids to explain DASS transport mechanism, substrate binding and, cation binding events.

title: Investigation of Attention and Mindfulness Training on Attentional bias and Cognitive Control in Drug Addiction
Creators: name: Sriburapar, Naranchaya

Year: 2021

description: This thesis investigates the effects of attention and mindfulness training on attentional bias and cognitive control in drug addiction. The thesis begins by describing theoretical models of attentional bias in addictions and the approaches taken to measure addiction-related attentional bias. It then presents six empirical studies. That two studies tested social drinkers who are undergraduate students in the UK, and four studies tested alcohol and methamphetamine inpatients in Thailand. The Stroop task and visual probe task were used to examine attentional bias and cognitive control. The interventions were based on the visual probe paradigm and mindfulness-based activities. In summary, the findings show i) Attentional bias modification training or daily mindfulness practice did not change attentional bias or cognitive control. ii) Attentional bias was found in non-patients but not in patients whereas cognitive control was found in all studies and was stronger in patients. iii) A new mindful-colouring task was developed that induces cognitive control in patients, decreases craving in both patients and non-patients, and alters affect in non-patients. iv) The daily practice of mindful-breathing and body scan increased motivation to change in alcohol inpatients but not methamphetamine inpatients. Our findings highlight important avenues for further developing attention training programs alongside other treatments.

description: To address persistent poverty in rural communities, the Government of Belize and the European Union (EU) are investing €7.2 million in the Belize Rural Development Program (BRDP) under the 9th European Development Fund (EDF). The objective is sustainable economic growth of rural areas, in terms of more efficient and competitive small and micro enterprises, improving basic services for rural population, and strengthening the policy and institutional environment. BRDP is guided by a multi-institutional Steering Committee at the national level, and supported by a multi-sectoral Development Committee at the district level. BRDP’s methodology is bottoms-up, participatory, and enterprise focused. The EDF resources are granted via micro grants (< € 500), small grants (< € 10,000), and large grants (€ 0.2 million to 1.3 million). Investments are demand driven and combine infrastructure, capacity building, equipment, technological resources and training. Beneficiaries must contribute at least 25% of the total investment. When it ends in early 2010, BRDP will have invested with at least 2,500 poor families in some 111 villages and invested in small and large infrastructures such as 30 internet cafes, 4 training centers, irrigation and processing facilities, a farmers market, a village water system, 57 homes for poor families, 10 hurricane shelters improved, a rebuilt bridge on a main highway, and an upgraded 9 mile rural road. In the process, some 19 institutions, public and NGOs, will be in a better position to participate in BRDP 2 which is planned to start in mid 2010.

description: Topological phases in non-Hermitian systems have become fascinating subjects recently. In this paper, we attempt to classify topological phases in 1D interacting non-Hermitian systems. We begin with the non-Hermitian generalization of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model and discuss its many-body topological Berry phase, which is well defined for all interacting quasi-Hermitian systems (non-Hermitian systems that have real energy spectrum). We then demonstrate that the classification of topological phases for quasi-Hermitian systems is exactly the same as their Hermitian counterparts. Finally, we construct the fixed point partition function for generic 1D interacting non-Hermitian local systems and find that the fixed point partition function still has a one-to-one correspondence to their Hermitian counterparts. Thus, we conclude that the classification of topological phases for generic 1D interacting non-Hermitian systems is still exactly the same as Hermitian systems.

description: Inflationary models are generally credited with explaining the large scale homogeneity, isotropy, and flatness of our universe as well as accounting for the origin of structure (i.e., the deviations from exact homogeneity) in our universe. We argue that the explanations provided by inflation for the homogeneity, isotropy, and flatness of our universe are not satisfactory, and that a proper explanation of these features will require a much deeper understanding of the initial state of our universe. On the other hand, inflationary models are spectacularly successful in providing an explanation of the deviations from homogeneity. We point out here that the fundamental mechanism responsible for providing deviations from homogeneity -- namely, the evolutionary behavior of quantum modes with wavelength larger than the Hubble radius -- will operate whether or not inflation itself occurs. However, if inflation did not occur, one must directly confront the issue of the initial state of modes whose wavelength was larger than the Hubble radius at the time at which they were "born". Under some simple hypotheses concerning the "birth time" and initial state of these modes (but without any "fine tuning"), it is shown that non-inflationary fluid models in the extremely early universe would result in the same density perturbation spectrum and amplitude as inflationary models, although there would be no "slow roll" enhancement of the scalar modes.

description: Road accident statistics are collected from information about personal injury road accidents and their consequent casualties, to a common national standard. The aim of collecting and publishing national road accident statistics is to inform public debate and to provide the basis for determining and monitoring effective road safety policies to reduce the road accident casualty toll. They are an essential requirement for monitoring targeted reductions in road accident casualties. The credible monitoring of targeted reductions requires that data are reported consistently and accurately, and both national and local government, and local reporting police forces, work closely to achieve a common reporting standard.

Users should note that for 1985-1991, and from 2002 onwards, the Vehicle Record file does not contain breath test data. This change has been made in order to protect confidentiality.

Data for 1985-1990 were deposited at the Archive at the beginning of 2006. Prior to this, the Archive only held the Road Accident Data series from 1991 onwards. No extra documentation was available for the 1985-1990 data, so users are advised to consult the documentation for the 1991 survey.

Further information about the Road Accident Data series and research based on it may be found on the government road accidents and safety statistics webpages.

title: "Ceremony and ritual are not important for conservation, they are conservation:" An inquiry into remembering and reviving culture and ritual for the protection of land and sacred sites
Creators: name: Knight, Rachael Sydney
name: N/A
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: This paper argues that land-honouring ceremonies and rituals are an intrinsic component of indigenous conservation efforts. It first summarizes the drivers of an overall global decline of communities' conservation and stewardship of local sacred natural sites. It then presents the stories of nine communities' efforts to reverse these trends by strengthening or reviving cosmologies, rituals and ceremonies necessary to the protection and conservation of sacred sites, ecosystems and species. Through a comparative qualitative content analysis, six practical strategies necessary to such revival and revitalization are discerned: (1) strong leadership and regular community meetings that create unity and allow for the dismantling of internalized oppression; (2) efforts to establish greater tenure security; (3) the revival or strengthening of indigenous leadership structures that value and uphold traditional beliefs, practices, protocols, and knowledge; (4) the revival of core aspects of indigenous culture, including seed-keeping, agricultural practices, traditional medicine, music, stories and song, among others; (5) the remembrance and enactment of ceremonies and rituals that function to protect, care for, and "feed" the lands and sacred natural sites; and (6) the creation of schools and programs that ensure intergenerational transfer of knowledge, skills, beliefs, and worldviews. The paper then explores three intangible processes that necessarily go hand-in-hand with such practical efforts, including: 1) cultivating intimacy with nature; 2) being open to collaboration with the more-than-human world; and 3) innovating to ensure that one's culture remains current and relevant in present times.

description: Human impedance parameters play an integral role in the dynamics of strength amplification exoskeletons. Many methods are used to estimate the stiffness of human muscles, but few are used to improve the performance of strength amplification controllers for these devices. We propose a compliance shaping amplification controller incorporating an accurate online human stiffness estimation from surface electromyography (sEMG) sensors and stretch sensors connected to the forearm and upper arm of the human. These sensor values along with exoskeleton position and velocity are used to train a random forest regression model that accurately predicts a person's stiffness despite varying movement, relaxation, and muscle co-contraction. Our model's accuracy is verified using experimental test data and the model is implemented into the compliance shaping controller. Ultimately we show that the online estimation of stiffness can improve the bandwidth and amplification of the controller while remaining robustly stable.

description: In this work, merging ideas from compatible discretisations and polyhedral methods, we construct novel fully discrete polynomial de Rham sequences of arbitrary degree on polygons and polyhedra. The spaces and operators that appear in these sequences are directly amenable to computer implementation. Besides proving exactness, we show that the usual three-dimensional sequence of trimmed Finite Element spaces forms, through appropriate interpolation operators, a commutative diagram with our sequence, which ensures suitable approximation properties. A discussion on reconstructions of potentials and discrete $L^2$-products completes the exposition.

description: In many areas of science and engineering, discovering the governing differential equations from the noisy experimental data is an essential challenge. It is also a critical step in understanding the physical phenomena and prediction of the future behaviors of the systems. However, in many cases, it is expensive or time-consuming to collect experimental data. This article provides an active learning approach to estimate the unknown differential equations accurately with reduced experimental data size. We propose an adaptive design criterion combining the D-optimality and the maximin space-filling criterion. In contrast to active learning for other regression models, the D-optimality here requires the unknown solution of the differential equations and derivatives of the solution. We estimate the Gaussian process (GP) regression models from the available experimental data and use them as the surrogates of these unknown solution functions. The derivatives of the estimated GP models are derived and used to substitute the derivatives of the solution. Variable selection-based regression methods are used to learn the differential equations from the experimental data. Through multiple case studies, we demonstrate the proposed approach outperforms the D-optimality and the maximin space-filling design alone in terms of model accuracy and data economy.

description: N-Carbophene (carbophene) is a novel class of two-dimensional covalent organic frameworks (2DCOF), based on linear N-phenylenes, that have moderate band gaps and low-mobility bands surrounding the Fermi energy; the simplest of which may have been recently synthesized. Using tight-binding density functional theory, the ground state configurations single layers, bilayers, and bulk systems was determined. This work finds that carbophenes have formation energies per carbon atom similar to that of graphenylene. The similarity of formation energies between graphenylene and carbophene suggests that when trying to synthesize one, the other may also be synthesized. The formation energies could explain why the first reported synthesis of graphenylene also indicated that they may have synthesized 3-carbophene. Results contained in this work suggests that a carbophene was synthesized instead of graphenylene. The projected density of states (PDOS) demonstrates that the anti-aromatic nature of the cyclobutene units plays a direct role in the creation of bands around the Fermi level, making this an exciting material in the theoretical understanding of the nature of aromatic bonds.

title: Factors that affect incidental encoding during retrieval attempts: Effects of reward, retrieval processes and healthy ageing.
Creators: name: Salhi, Louisa
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: A successful strategy to aid recognition is to constrain retrieval search towards a specific context in order to facilitate retrieval of goal-relevant memories. The "memory-for-foils" paradigm is used to investigate this process, termed source-constrained retrieval, by assessing whether incidental encoding of new foils during an old/new recognition test differs depending on the type of processing that was previously used during study of the old items in the test. Ageing is thought to involve impairments to cognitive control functions that support episodic memory as well as a reliance on familiarity-based recognition, suggesting that older adults will be less able to constrain retrieval search than younger adults. This thesis extends on prior source-constrained retrieval literature and explored what potential other factors could modulate the rate of incidental foil encoding. Novel factors of external reward, as well as an internal factor of item-specific retrieval processes and subjective judgments were examined, as well as how these factors are affected by healthy ageing. Contrasting to prior findings, here I show that older adults can spontaneously constrain retrieval to the same extent as younger adults, suggesting that ageing-related episodic memory decline, even in cognitively complex tasks, is not inevitable. However, there was little support for external rewards enhancing incidental encoding beyond altering response biases, despite effects of reward on motivation. Item-elicited retrieval processes however were more strongly related to foil memory, with false familiarity and heightened novelty processing for foils during an initial encounter being the most consistent predictors of increased subsequent recognition after incidental encoding. The neural ERP findings also demonstrated that spontaneous recognition processes elicited by new items have a knock-on effect on their incidental encoding, as well as succinctly showing that episodic memory tasks designated as encoding and retrieval phases are not 'process pure'.
Enigmatic Velocity Dispersions of Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies in Light of Modified Gravity Theories and Radial Acceleration Relation

description: Recent observations of anomalous line-of-sight velocity dispersions of two ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) provide a stringent test for modified gravity theories. While NGC 1052-DF2 exhibits an extremely low dispersion value ($σ\sim 7.8_{-2.2}^{+5.6}$ km/s), the reported dispersion value for NGC 1052-DF44 is quite high ($σ\sim 41.0 \pm 8$ km/s). For DF2, the dynamical mass is almost equal to the luminous mass suggesting the galaxy have little to no `dark matter' in $Λ$CDM whereas DF4 requires a dynamical mass-to-light ratio of $\sim 30$ making it to be almost entirely consists of dark matter. It has been claimed that both these galaxies, marking the extreme points in terms of the estimated dynamical mass-to-light ratio among known galaxies, would be difficult to explain in modified gravity scenarios. Extending the analysis presented in \cite{islam2019modified}, we explore the dynamics of DF2 and DF44 within the context of three popular alternative theories of gravity [Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), Weyl Conformal gravity and Modified gravity (MOG)] and examine their viability against the dispersion data of DF2 and DF44. We further show that the galactic `Radial Acceleration Relation' (RAR) is consistent with DF44 dispersion data but not with DF2.

title: Social Workers' Conceptualisations of Domestic Violence and Abuse Against People with Learning Disabilities
Creators: name: Robb, Megan
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: Domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is a critical social, cultural and legal problem in the UK and worldwide. It is known that disabled people, both men and women, are twice as likely to experience DVA as their non-disabled peers. Since disabled people, including people with learning disabilities, may require care and support, it is likely that social work professionals working with adults will encounter people with learning disabilities who are victims of DVA. However, there is a paucity of empirical research studies in this area, leaving social workers with little to draw upon to inform their practice. Therefore, this thesis aims to explore how social workers practising with adults with learning disabilities understand and respond to DVA in their work. A qualitative research project was undertaken with 15 social workers practising with adults with learning disabilities. Semi-structured interviews, alongside vignette interviews, were utilised to gather data which was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings of the study indicate that social workers view victims with learning disabilities as vulnerable due to their individual life experiences, including how perpetrators responded to their disability. Yet the social workers in the sample did not routinely identify structural issues of oppression and how these impacted each victim's position within abusive relationships. Furthermore, the study suggests that social workers are often the professionals tasked with managing risk in cases of DVA where both the victim and perpetrator have a learning disability. The social workers questioned did not feel confident in this role. The conclusion of this study presents recommendations for social workers to improve their interventions with this service user group, suggesting that social workers should be given more support to manage these cases, including specialist training in the area of DVA to enable them to explore how issues of marginalisation impact the experiences of abuse. Finally, the study recommends that policy development should focus on developing pathways and guidance for working with vulnerable perpetrators, to assist social workers, and other professionals, to more effectively work with perpetrators who have a learning disability.

description: We show that Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of dwarf galaxies interacting with a Milky Way-like disk produce moving groups in the simulated stellar disk. We analyze three different simulations: one that includes dwarf galaxies that mimic the Large Magellanic Cloud, Small Magellanic Cloud and the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal; another with a dwarf galaxy that orbits nearly in the plane of the Milky Way disk; and a null case that does not include a dwarf galaxy interaction. We present a new algorithm to find large moving groups in the $V_R, V_ϕ$ plane in an automated fashion that allows us to compare velocity sub-structure in different simulations, at different locations, and at different times. We find that there are significantly more moving groups formed in the interacting simulations than in the isolated simulation. A number of dwarf galaxies are known to orbit the Milky Way, with at least one known to have had a close pericenter approach. Our analysis of simulations here indicates that dwarf galaxies like those orbiting our Galaxy produce large moving groups in the disk. Our analysis also suggests that some of the moving groups in the Milky Way may have formed due to dynamical interactions with perturbing dwarf satellites. The groups identified in the simulations by our algorithm have similar properties to those found in the Milky Way, including similar fractions of the total stellar population included in the groups, as well as similar average velocities and velocity dispersions.

description: Abstract

Background: Emergency contraception (EC), one of the recent advances in family planning, describes a class of birth control methods that, when administered within specified time frames following unprotected sexual activity, can stop an unintended pregnancy. Its value in preventing unplanned pregnancy among adolescents, especially in a developing country like Nigeria, cannot be overemphasized. Objective: The reproductive health review explored the place of emergency contraception in Nigeria adolescent family planning picture Methodology: Relevant studies on emergency contraception in adolescent family planning services in Nigeria and around the world from 1997 to 2023 were searched for using a multifaceted search technique. We employed a broad range of keywords and Boolean operators to ensure focus while doing queries across PubMed, Cochrane Libraries, Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar; with search focussing on the English language. The search was strengthened by other methods such as expert advice and reverse citation searching. Conclusion: Higher emergency contraceptive use amongst adolescents is not just about preventing pregnancies; it is about reducing maternal mortality, boosting educational attainment and fostering economic growth. Strengthening sex education, expanding access to youth-friendly healthcare, combating stigma and ensuring affordability are vital steps in increasing emergency contraceptive prevalence among Nigerian adolescents.

description: We present a millimetre molecular line survey of seven high mass loss rate carbon stars in both the northern and southern skies. A total of 196 emission lines (47 transitions) from 24 molecular species were detected. The observed CO emission is used to determine mass-loss rates and the physical structure of the circumstellar envelope, such as the density and temperature structure, using a detailed radiative transfer analysis. This enables abundances for the remaining molecular species to be determined. The derived abundances generally vary between the sources by no more than a factor of five indicating that circumstellar envelopes around carbon stars with high mass-loss rates have similar chemical compositions. However, there are some notable exceptions. The most striking difference between the abundances are reflecting the spread in the 12C/13C-ratio of about an order of magnitude between the sample stars, mainly reflecting the results of nucleosynthesis. The abundance of SiO also shows a variation of more than an order of magnitude between the sources and is on the average more than an order of magnitude more abundant than predicted from photospheric chemistry in thermal equilibrium. The over abundance of SiO is consistent with dynamical modelling of the stellar atmosphere and the inner parts of the wind where a pulsation-driven shock has passed. This scenario is possibly further substantiated by the relatively low amount of CS present in the envelopes. The chemistry occurring in the outer envelope is consistent with current photochemical models.

description: In the past years, black holes and the fate of their singularity have been heavily studied within loop quantum gravity. Effective spacetime descriptions incorporating quantum geometry corrections are provided by the so-called polymer models. Despite the technical differences, the main common feature shared by these models is that the classical singularity is resolved by a black-to-white hole transition. In a recent paper, we discussed the existence of two Dirac observables in the effective quantum theory respectively corresponding to the black and white hole mass. Physical requirements about the onset of quantum effects then fix the relation between these observables after the bounce, which in turn corresponds to a restriction on the admissible initial conditions for the model. In the present paper, we discuss in detail the role of such observables in black hole polymer models. First, we revisit previous models and analyse the existence of the Dirac observables there. Observables for the horizons or the masses are explicitly constructed. In the classical theory, only one Dirac observable has physical relevance. In the quantum theory, we find a relation between the existence of two physically relevant observables and the scaling behaviour of the polymerisation scales under fiducial cell rescaling. We present then a new model based on polymerisation of new variables which allows to overcome previous restrictions on initial conditions. Quantum effects cause a bound of a unique Kretschmann curvature scale, independently of the relation between the two masses.

description: In this paper we discuss Grover Adaptive Search (GAS) for Constrained Polynomial Binary Optimization (CPBO) problems, and in particular, Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) problems, as a special case. GAS can provide a quadratic speed-up for combinatorial optimization problems compared to brute force search. However, this requires the development of efficient oracles to represent problems and flag states that satisfy certain search criteria. In general, this can be achieved using quantum arithmetic, however, this is expensive in terms of Toffoli gates as well as required ancilla qubits, which can be prohibitive in the near-term. Within this work, we develop a way to construct efficient oracles to solve CPBO problems using GAS algorithms. We demonstrate this approach and the potential speed-up for the portfolio optimization problem, i.e. a QUBO, using simulation and experimental results obtained on real quantum hardware. However, our approach applies to higher-degree polynomial objective functions as well as constrained optimization problems.

description: Wellbeing in Developing Countries is a series of studies which aim to develop a conceptual and methodological approach to understanding the social and cultural construction of wellbeing in developing countries. The Wellbeing in Developing Countries Research Group (WeD), based at the University of Bath, drew on knowledge and expertise from three different departments (Economics and International Development, Social and Policy Sciences and Psychology) as well as a network of overseas contacts. The international, interdisciplinary team formed a major programme of comparative research, focused on six communities in each of four countries: Ethiopia, Thailand, Peru and Bangladesh. All sites within the countries have been given anonymous site names, with the exception of Ethiopia where the team chose to follow an alternative locally agreed procedure on anonymisation. Data can be matched across studies using the HOUSEKEY (Site code and household number).

The research raises fundamental questions both for the academic study of development, and for the policy community. The WeD arrived at the following definition of wellbeing through their research: "Wellbeing is a state of being with others, where human needs are met, where one can act meaningfully to pursue one's goals, and where one enjoys a satisfactory quality of life".

Further information about the project can be found on the WeD website and the ESRC Award webpage.

 Wellbeing in Developing Countries: Community Profiles, 2003-2006 comprises 26 community profiles of each of the communities selected for study in the WeD research. A community profile is a detailed community study that has been carried out in each of the research communities using a range of participatory techniques including key informant interviews, observation, and secondary data. The community profiles are a systematic description of the context within which the people and processes being studied by WeD are located. They were an important stage in defining subsequent fieldwork phases. The community profiles were also treated as ‘living documents’ that were constantly updated and modified with additional data as the field work proceeded.

description: We propose a realization of two remarkable effects of Dicke physics in quantum simulation of light-matter many-body interactions with artificial quantum systems. These effects are a superradiant decay of an ensemble of qubits and the opposite radiation trapping effect. We show that both phenomena coexist in the crossover regime of a "moderately bad" single-mode cavity coupled to the qubit subsystem. Depending on the type of the initial state and on the presence of multipartite entanglement in it, the dynamical features can be opposite resulting either in the superradiance or in the radiation trapping despite of the fact that the initial state contains the same number of excited qubits. The difference originates from the symmetrical or nonsymmetrical character of the initial wave function of the ensemble, which corresponds to indistinguishable or distinguishable emitters. We argue that a coexistence of both effects can be used in dynamical quantum simulators to demonstrate realization of Dicke physics, effects of multipartite quantum entanglement, as well as quantum interference and thus to deeply probe quantum nature of these artificial quantum systems.
