title: Healthy lifestyles or ‘dangerous competition’? – self-tracking and the geographies of surveillance and materiality in the lives of young people.
Creators: name: Fletcher, Olivia
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2024

description: Self-tracking technologies monitor and measure aspects of your body and life, such as your physical activity and diet, with a view to achieve a healthier lifestyle and self-optimisation. In recent years, there have been concerns around young people’s use of self-tracking technologies, particularly in relation to obsessive behaviours. Within academia, researchers have analysed how individuals undertake self-tracking to take responsibility for their health and research has also begun to recognise the sensory, embodied, affective experiences of self-tracking. However, there is limited scholarship on young people’s experiences of self-tracking technologies. In this research, I explore the factors that impact the relationship young people have with their self-tracking technologies. In doing so, I seek to better understand the different motivations for individuals to undertake self-tracking and the complex ways in which young people make sense of and relate to their data. Moreover, I seek to advance applications of feminist new materialism to self-tracking practices and synthesise this with Foucauldian theory, to explore the relationship between humans and nonhumans and the ways in which individuals engage in self-governance through self-tracking. I draw on 30 digital interviews (video, email, phone and instant messenger) with young people aged 18-26 in the UK, alongside an auto-netnography of my own self-tracking experiences. I focus on the ways in which self-tracking impacts experiences and understandings of health and body perceptions, the ways in which self-tracking technologies become a part of young people’s embodied, sensory and everyday experiences and the ways in which other people impact experiences of self-tracking and understandings of health. I argue that young people’s experiences of self-tracking are extremely individualistic and argue that the ways in which individuals engage in self-tracking and the reasons for doing so change over space and time due to the dynamic, fluid nature of the human-technology assemblage. I conclude this thesis with a discussion of the possibilities for future research. I argue that future research should focus on a more diverse range of experiences, whilst questioning who does not have access to self-tracking technologies. I also discuss the opportunities for future research to work collaboratively with participants to understand how self-tracking technologies can be designed in more qualitative, individualist ways that account for the diverse ways in which individuals may use them.
Adaptive Learning in Cartesian Product of Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces

Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)

description: We propose a novel adaptive learning algorithm based on iterative orthogonal projections in the Cartesian product of multiple reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs). The task is estimating/tracking nonlinear functions which are supposed to contain multiple components such as (i) linear and nonlinear components, (ii) high- and low- frequency components etc. In this case, the use of multiple RKHSs permits a compact representation of multicomponent functions. The proposed algorithm is where two different methods of the author meet: multikernel adaptive filtering and the algorithm of hyperplane projection along affine subspace (HYPASS). In a certain particular case, the sum space of the RKHSs is isomorphic to the product space and hence the proposed algorithm can also be regarded as an iterative projection method in the sum space. The efficacy of the proposed algorithm is shown by numerical examples.

description: We consider a broad class of Continuous Time Random Walks with large fluctuations effects in space and time distributions: a random walk with trapping, describing subdiffusion in disordered and glassy materials, and a Lévy walk process, often used to model superdiffusive effects in inhomogeneous materials. We derive the scaling form of the probability distributions and the asymptotic properties of all its moments in the presence of a field by two powerful techniques, based on matching conditions and on the estimate of the contribution of rare events to power-law tails in a field.

QCD at finite temperature and density within the fRG approach: An overview

description: In this paper we present an overview on recent progress in studies of QCD at finite temperature and densities within the functional renormalization group (fRG) approach. The fRG is a nonperturbative continuum field approach, in which quantum, thermal and density fluctuations are integrated in successively with the evolution of the renormalization group (RG) scale. The fRG results for the QCD phase structure and the location of the critical end point (CEP), the QCD equation of state (EoS), the magnetic EoS, baryon number fluctuations confronted with recent experimental measurements, various critical exponents, spectral functions in the critical region, the dynamical critical exponent, etc., are presented. Recent estimates of the location of the CEP from first-principle QCD calculations within fRG and Dyson-Schwinger Equations, which passes through lattice benchmark tests at small baryon chemical potentials, converge in a rather small region at baryon chemical potentials of about 600 MeV. A region of inhomogeneous instability indicated by a negative wave function renormalization is found with $μ_B\gtrsim 420$ MeV. It is found that the non-monotonic dependence of the kurtosis of the net-proton number distributions on the beam collision energy observed in experiments, could arise from the increasingly sharp crossover in the regime of low collision energy.

description: Cognitive problems are commonly reported by hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) survivors, and are associated with poorer physical and mental well-being. It was hypothesized that adverse effects of subjective cognitive impairment occur because cognitive difficulties reduce survivors’ confidence that they can manage HSCT-related symptoms—that is, self-efficacy for symptom management.

EpIC utilises the PARTONS framework, which provides a flexible software architecture and a variety of modelling options for the partonic description of the nucleon. The generator offers a comprehensive set of features, including multi-channel capabilities and radiative corrections. It may be used both in analyses of experimental data, as well as in impact studies, especially for future electron-ion colliders.

description: The magnetic properties of ordered nanoscale Co/Cu/Py multilayer antidot films with different pore sizes prepared on top of nanoporous alumina membranes are presented. By using Co and Py films separated by a Cu thin layer, and tuning the pore diameters of the NAMs we were able to play with the coercivity of the films and observe stepped magnetization curves, as a consequence of the different coercivities of the Co and Py films. The magnetic properties of the multilayer antidots have been measured and compared with results obtained for antidots of Cu/Py. The magnetization reversal process that occurs in each individual layer and in the multilayer was studied by means of micromagnetic simulations.

description: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a demanding cancer treatment associated with enduring physical and psychological complications. Survivors' well-being may be further compromised by exposure to chronic stressors common to this population, including difficulties arising from costly medical care, changes in employment status, and health insurance coverage. Thus, we hypothesized that financial, employment, and insurance stressors (collectively referred to as economic survivorship stressors) would be associated with poorer health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among HSCT survivors.
Posttraumatic growth, social support, and social constraint in hematopoietic stem cell transplant survivors: PTG, social support, and constraint in HSCT survivors

description: The relation between posttraumatic growth (PTG) and aspects of the social context, such as social support and social constraint, continues to be unclear in cancer survivors. Social-cognitive processing theory is a useful framework for examining the effect of the social context on PTG. In theory, support interactions may either facilitate or hinder cognitive processing and thus lead to different PTG outcomes. The current study tested the hypothesis that emotional support and instrumental support would each explain a unique amount of the variance in PTG in distressed hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) survivors. Additionally, it was predicted that social constraint on cancer-related disclosure would be negatively with PTG.

description: We present strategic portgraph rewriting as a basis for the implementation of visual modelling and analysis tools. The goal is to facilitate the specification, analysis and simulation of complex systems, using port graphs. A system is represented by an initial graph and a collection of graph rewriting rules, together with a user-defined strategy to control the application of rules. The strategy language includes constructs to deal with graph traversal and management of rewriting positions in the graph. We give a small-step operational semantics for the language, and describe its implementation in the graph transformation and visualisation tool PORGY.

description: We investigate the magnetic ground state of Sm$_3$BWO$_9$ with the distorted kagome lattice. A magnetic phase transition is identified at $T_N=0.75$ K from the temperature dependence of specific heat. From $^{11}$B nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements, an incommensurate magnetic order is shown by the double-horn type spectra under a $c$-axis magnetic field. While, absence of line splitting is observed for field oriented within the $ab$-plane, indicating the incommensurate modulation of the internal field strictly along $c$-axis. From the spin dynamics, the critical slowing down behavior is observed in the temperature dependence of $1/T_1$ with $μ_0H\perp c$-axis, which is completely absent in that with $μ_0H||c$-axis. Based on the local symmetry of $^{11}$B sites, we analyze the hyperfine coupling tensors and propose two constraints on the possible magnetic structure. The single ion anisotropy should play an important role in the determination of the contrasting ground states of Sm$_3$BWO$_9$ and Pr$_3$BWO$_9$.

title: Child rights imperatives for children in alternative care

Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2017

description: The paper identifies human rights issues related to all children in alternative care institutions, causal factors and how these need to be addressed, and the prevention of the risks of neglect and abuse. Attention is drawn to the state's responsibilities related to supporting vulnerable families of such children; this includes community-based preventive approaches, including the promotion of better parenting practices. Emphasis is placed on childhood disabilities and other factors which contribute to institutionalisation and its impact on the well-being of children. Estimated numbers of affected children in South Asia are referred to in the context of recognising the extent of the problem and the huge challenges to reach out to all the affected children with quality services. Emphasis is placed on the need for the resolution of such issues in the context of childhood vulnerabilities. The special issues of disabled children and adoption processes are referred to. Attention is drawn to the state's responsibilities as signatories to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and their obligations to establish and ensure the implementation of rights-based standards for quality care and protection, the importance of independent monitoring of the care being provided and the need to emphasise child protection in all instances. The necessity to plan for all children when they leave the institution is emphasised.

description: Quantum decay of a relativistic scalar field from a false vacuum is a fundamental idea in quantum field theory. It is relevant to models of the early Universe, where the nucleation of bubbles gives rise to an inflationary universe and the creation of matter. Here we propose a laboratory test using an experimental model of an ultra-cold spinor Bose gas. A false vacuum for the relative phase of two spin components, serving as the unstable scalar field, is generated by means of a modulated radio-frequency coupling of the spin components. Numerical simulations demonstrate the spontaneous formation of true vacuum bubbles with realistic parameters and time-scales.

description: We use the recently developed soft-potential-enhanced Poisson-Boltzmann (SPB) theory to study the interaction between two parallel polyelectrolytes (PEs) in monovalent ionic solutions in the weak-coupling regime. The SPB theory is fitted to ion distributions from coarse-grained molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and benchmarked against all-atom MD modelling for poly(diallyldimethylammonium) (PDADMA). We show that the SPB theory is able to accurately capture the interactions between two PEs at distances beyond the PE radius. For PDADMA positional correlations between the charged groups lead to locally asymmetric PE charge and ion distributions. This gives rise to small deviations from the SPB prediction that appear as short-range oscillations in the potential of mean force. Our results suggest that the SPB theory can be an efficient way to model interactions in chemically specific complex PE systems.

A Random Walk Model for Halo Triaxiality

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We describe a semi-analytic model to predict the triaxial shapes of dark matter halos utilizing the sequences of random merging events captured in merger trees to follow the evolution of each halo's energy tensor. When coupled with a simple model for relaxation toward a spherical shape, we find that this model predicts distributions of halo axis length ratios which approximately agree with those measured from cosmological N-body simulations once constrained to match the median axis ratio at a single halo mass. We demonstrate the predictive and explanatory power of this model by considering conditioned distributions of axis length ratios, and the mass-dependence of halo shapes, finding these to be in good agreement with N-body results. This model provides both insight into the physics driving the evolution of halo triaxial shapes, and rapid quantitative predictions for the statistics of triaxiality connected directly to the formation history of the halo.

description: China has altered its global posture from “keeping a low profile” to “striving for achievement” since President Xi came to power. The adjusted approach to Chinese foreign policy is in the context of growing China’s state capabilities and shrinking American global leadership under Trump’s presidency. Given these structural changes in the international system, China is expected to play a bigger role in the world politics. Accordingly, questions have raised that how China perceives the world and whether rising China is a reformist or revisionist power. The paper would address these questions by first revisiting the ancient Chinese idea of Tianxia, which is both a concept and practice in ancient times. As Tianxia is not applicable in the modern world, the concepts are reinvented by Chinese scholars, which are similar to ideas proposed by President Xi, offering an ideal worldview. In the third part, an empirical analysis of the Chinese foreign policy would check whether China’s behaviors correspond to Xi’s vision and whether China is a revisionist power.

By means of atomic resolution electron microscopy and spectroscopy, we produce a subnanometer scale map of the transition metal oxidation state profile across the interface between the high $T_c$ superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$ and the colossal magnetoresistance compound (La,Ca)MnO$_3$. A net transfer of electrons from manganite to cuprate with a peculiar non-monotonic charge profile is observed. Model calculations rationalize the profile in terms of the competition between standard charge transfer tendencies (due to band mismatch), strong chemical bonding effects across the interface, and Cu substitution into the Mn lattice, with different characteristic length scales.

description: Entity-linking is a natural-language-processing task that consists in identifying the entities mentioned in a piece of text, linking each to an appropriate item in some knowledge base; when the knowledge base is Wikipedia, the problem comes to be known as wikification (in this case, items are wikipedia articles). One instance of entity-linking can be formalized as an optimization problem on the underlying concept graph, where the quantity to be optimized is the average distance between chosen items. Inspired by this application, we define a new graph problem which is a natural variant of the Maximum Capacity Representative Set. We prove that our problem is NP-hard for general graphs; nonetheless, under some restrictive assumptions, it turns out to be solvable in linear time. For the general case, we propose two heuristics: one tries to enforce the above assumptions and another one is based on the notion of hitting distance; we show experimentally how these approaches perform with respect to some baselines on a real-world dataset.

We classify eigenomodes according to vertical symmetry of the structure given by self-coupling coefficients of the additional waveguides and establish the conditions for BIC existence. We use the Weierstrass factorization theorem and interpret the scattering spectra of the systems with broken symmetry in terms of the eigenmodes. The Fano resonance related with excitation of quasi-BIC is explained as arising from the interference between this mode and another leaky mode.

description: Fano resonances and bound states with energy in the continuum are ubiquitous phenomena in different areas of physics. Observations, however, have been limited so far to single-particle processes. In this work we experimentally investigate the multi-particle case and observe Fano interference in a non-interacting two-particle Fano-Anderson model by considering propagation of two-photon states in engineered photonic lattices. We demonstrate that the quantum statistics of the particles, either bosonic or fermionic, strongly affects the decay process. Remarkably, we find that the Fano resonance, when two discrete levels are coupled to a continuum, is suppressed in the fermionic case.

description: We use deep spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide-Field-Camera 3 (WFC3) IR grisms combined with broad-band photometry to study the stellar populations, gas ionization and chemical abundances in star-forming galaxies at $z\sim 1.1-2.3$. The data stem from the CANDELS Lyman-$α$ Emission At Reionization (CLEAR) survey. At these redshifts the grism spectroscopy measure the [OII] 3727, 3729, [OIII] 4959, 5008, H-$β$ strong emission features, which constrain the ionization parameter and oxygen abundance of the nebular gas. We compare the line flux measurements to predictions from updated photoionization models (MAPPINGS (Kewley et al. 2019), which include an updated treatment of nebular gas pressure, log P/k = $n_e T_e$. Compared to low-redshift samples ($z\sim 0.2$) at fixed stellar mass, llog M / M$_\odot$ = 9.4-9.8, the CLEAR galaxies at z=1.35 (z=1.90) have lower gas-phase metallicity, $Δ$(log Z) = 0.25 (0.35) dex, and higher ionization parameters, $Δ$(log q) = 0.25 (0.35) dex, where U = q/c. We provide updated analytic calibrations between the [OIII], [OII], and H-$β$ emission line ratios, metallicity, and ionization parameter. The CLEAR galaxies show that at fixed stellar mass, the gas ionization parameter is correlated with the galaxy specific star-formation rates (sSFRs), where $Δ$ log q = 0.4 $Δ$(log sSFR), derived from changes in the strength of galaxy H-$β$ equivalent width. We interpret this as a consequence of higher gas densities, lower gas covering fractions, combined with higher escape fraction of H-ionizing photons. We discuss both tests to confirm these assertions and implications this has for future observations of galaxies at higher redshifts.

description: Many of the biochemical, physiological, and behavioral effects of ethanol are known to be mediated by ionotropic glutamate receptors. Emerging evidence implicates metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in the biobehavioral effects of ethanol and other drugs of abuse, but there is little information regarding the role of mGluRs in the reinforcing effects of ethanol.

description: The elimination of defects from SiC has facilitated its move to the forefront of the optoelectronics and power-electronics industries. Nonetheless, because the electronic states of SiC defects can have sharp optical and spin transitions, they are increasingly recognized as a valuable resource for quantum-information and nanoscale-sensing applications. Here, we show that individual electron spin states in highly purified monocrystalline 4H-SiC can be isolated and coherently controlled. Bound to neutral divacancy defects, these states exhibit exceptionally long ensemble Hahn-echo spin coherence, exceeding 1 ms. Coherent control of single spins in a material amenable to advanced growth and microfabrication techniques is an exciting route to wafer-scale quantum technologies.

description: The mammalian adolescent period is characterized by enhanced vulnerability to drug-induced neuroadaptations. Epidemiological evidence indicates that individuals who start drinking alcohol during adolescence are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence in adulthood, but little is known about the adaptive mechanism(s) that may underlie this observation. Behavioral sensitization in rodents is a model of neurobehavioral plasticity that occurs following repeated drug exposure and may underlie components of addiction.

description: The merger rate density evolution of binary compact objects and the properties of their host galaxies carry crucial information to understand the sources of gravitational waves. Here, we present galaxyRate, a new code that estimates the merger rate density of binary compact objects and the properties of their host galaxies, based on observational scaling relations. We generate our synthetic galaxies according to the galaxy stellar mass function. We estimate the metallicity according to both the mass-metallicity relation (MZR) and the fundamental metallicity relation (FMR). Also, we take into account galaxy-galaxy mergers and the evolution of the galaxy properties from the formation to the merger of the binary compact object. We find that the merger rate density changes dramatically depending on the choice of the star-forming galaxy main sequence, especially in the case of binary black holes (BBHs) and black hole neutron star systems (BHNSs). The slope of the merger rate density of BBHs and BHNSs is steeper if we assume the MZR with respect to the FMR, because the latter predicts a shallower decrease of metallicity with redshift. In contrast, binary neutron stars (BNSs) are only mildly affected by both the galaxy main sequence and metallicity relation. Overall, BBHs and BHNSs tend to form in low-mass metal-poor galaxies and merge in high-mass metal-rich galaxies, while BNSs form and merge in massive galaxies. We predict that passive galaxies host at least ~5-10%, ~15-25%, and ~15-35% of all BNS, BHNS and BBH mergers in the local Universe.

description: The Paxos distributed consensus algorithm is a challenging case-study for standard, vector-based model checking techniques. Due to asynchronous communication, exhaustive analysis may generate very large state spaces already for small model instances. In this paper, we show the advantages of graph transformation as an alternative modelling technique. We model Paxos in a rich declarative transformation language, featuring (among other things) nested quantifiers, and we validate our model using the GROOVE model checker, a graph-based tool that exploits isomorphism as a natural way to prune the state space via symmetry reductions. We compare the results with those obtained by the standard model checker Spin on the basis of a vector-based encoding of the algorithm.

description: We study a warping instability of a geometrically thin, non-self-gravitating, circumbinary disk around young binary stars on an eccentric orbit. Such a disk is subject to both the tidal torques due to a time-dependent binary potential and the radiative torques due to radiation emitted from each star. The tilt angle between the circumbinary disk plane and the binary orbital plane is assumed to be very small. We find that there is a radius within/beyond which the circumbinary disk is unstable to radiation-driven warping, depending on the disk density and temperature gradient indices. This marginally stable warping radius is very sensitive to viscosity parameters, a fiducial disk radius and the temperature measured there, the stellar luminosity, and the disk surface density at a radius where the disk changes from the optically thick to thin for the irradiation from the central stars. On the other hand, it is insensitive to the orbital eccentricity and binary irradiation parameter, which is a function of the binary mass ratio and luminosity of each star. Since the tidal torques can suppress the warping in the inner part of the circumbinary disk, the disk starts to be warped in the outer part. While the circumbinary disks are most likely to be subject to the radiation-driven warping on a AU to kilo-AU scale for binaries with young massive stars more luminous than 10^4Lsun, the radiation driven warping does not work for those around young binaries with the luminosity comparable to the solar luminosity.

description: The nucleus accumbens (NAC) is a functionally heterogeneous brain region with respect to its involvement in cocaine-seeking behavior triggered by drug-associated explicit conditioned stimuli, foot shock stress, or cocaine itself in the reinstatement animal model of drug relapse. However, it is not known whether the NAC or its subregions are critical for reinstatement of cocaine-seeking behavior produced by re-exposure to a previously cocaine-paired environmental context.

description: Amisulpride is approved for clinical use in treating schizophrenia in a number of European countries and also for treating dysthymia, a mild form of depression, in Italy. Amisulpride has also been demonstrated to be an antidepressant for patients with major depression in many clinical trials. In part because of the selective D2/D3 receptor antagonist properties of amisulpride, it has long been widely assumed that dopaminergic modulation is the proximal event responsible for mediating its antidepressant and antipsychotic properties.
