description: K-dwarfs have life-times older than the present age of the Galactic disc, and are thus ideal stars to investigate the disc's chemical evolution. We have developed several photometric metallicity indicators for K dwarfs, based an a sample of accurate spectroscopic metallicities for 34 disc and halo G and K dwarfs. The photometric metallicities lead us to develop a metallicity index for K dwarfs based only on their position in the colour absolute-magnitude diagram. Metallicities have been determined for 431 single K dwarfs drawn from the Hipparcos catalog, selecting the stars by absolute magnitude and removing multiple systems. The sample is essentially a complete reckoning of the metal content in nearby K dwarfs. We use stellar isochrones to mark the stars by mass, and select a subset of 220 of the stars which is complete in a narrow mass interval. We fit the data with a model of the chemical evolution of the Solar cylinder. We find that only a modest cosmic scatter is required to fit our age metallicity relation. The model assumes two main infall episodes for the formation of the halo-thick disc and thin disc respectively. The new data confirms that the solar neighbourhood formed on a long timescale of order 7 Gyr.

Luminosity-metallicity relation for stars on the lower main sequence

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: We present a comparison of the predictions of stellar models with the luminosity of the lower main sequence ($5.5 < M_V < 7.3$) using K dwarfs in the Hipparcos catalog. The parallaxes of our comparison stars are known to better than 15% and metallicities have been recently determined from photometry. A major advantage of our comparison is that distances in our sample are known with good accuracy, while tests that involve open and globular clusters are constrained by potentially inaccurate distances. We show that the luminosity of the lower main sequence relative to a fiducial (solar metallicity) isochrone is a simple function of metallicity: $Delta M_V = 0.84375 times {rm [ Fe/H]} - 0.04577$. We compare the data with a range of isochrones from the literature. None of the models fit all the data, although some models do clearly better than others. In particular, metal rich isochrones seem to be difficult to construct. The relationship between luminosity, colour and metallicity for K dwarfs is found to be very tight. We are thus able to derive metallicities for K dwarfs based on their position in the Hipparcos colour-magnitude diagram with accuracies better than 0.1 dex. The metallicity-luminosity relation for K dwarfs leads to a new distance indicator with a wide range of possible applications.

description: Negative voice-content is the best sole predictor of whether the hearer of an auditory-verbal hallucination will experience distress/impairment necessitating contact with mental health services. Yet, what causes negative voice-content and how interventions may reduce it remains poorly understood. This paper offers definitions of negative voice content and considers what may cause negative voice-content. We propose a framework in which adverse life-events may underpin much negative voice-content, a relation which may be mediated by mechanisms including hypervigilance, reduced social rank, shame and self-blame, dissociation, and altered emotional processing. At a neurological level, we note how the involvement of the amygdala and right Broca's area could drive negative voice-content. We observe that negative interactions between hearers and their voices may further drive negative voice-content. Finally, we consider the role of culture in shaping negative voice-content. This framework is intended to deepen and extend cognitive models of voice-hearing and spur further development of psychological interventions for those distressed by such voices. We note that much of the relevant research in this area remains to be performed or replicated. We conclude that more attention needs to be paid to methods for reducing negative voice-content, and urge further research in this important area.

description: A design approach for high speed variable flux machines with fiber reinforced polymer filled flux barriers is presented. To ensure high speed strength, the interfacial strength between the composite and electrical sheet is investigated, as it represents a strict boundary condition in the design process. A tool chain for a combination of electromagnetic and mechanical design is presented and its target values and boundary conditions are discussed. Measurements of the interfacial shear strength between electrical sheet and the composite are carried out and the results are investigated with respect to the design process. An optimization based on the measurement data is carried out and the results of machines with and without composite reinforcement are compared.

description: Adapted mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) could be of benefit for people distressed by hearing voices. This paper presents a systematic review of studies exploring this possibility and we ask five questions: (1) Is trait mindfulness associated with reduced distress and disturbance in relation to hearing voices? (2) Are MBIs feasible for people distressed by hearing voices? (3) Are MBIs acceptable and safe for people distressed by hearing voices? (4) Are MBIs effective at reducing distress and disturbance in people distressed by hearing voices? (5) If effective, what are the mechanisms of change through which MBIs for distressing voices work? Fifteen studies were identified through a systematic search (n = 479). In relation to the five review questions: (1) data from cross-sectional studies showed an association between trait mindfulness and distress and disturbance in relation to hearing voices; (2) evidence from qualitative studies suggested that people distressed by hearing voices could engage meaningfully in mindfulness practice; (3) MBIs were seen as acceptable and safe; (4) there were no adequately powered RCTs allowing conclusions about effectiveness to be drawn; and (5) it was not possible to draw on robust empirical data to comment on potential mechanisms of change although findings from the qualitative studies identified three potential change processes; (i) reorientation of attention; (ii) decentring; and (iii) acceptance of voices. This review provided evidence that MBIs are engaging, acceptable, and safe. Evidence for effectiveness in reducing distress and disturbance is lacking however. We call for funding for adequately powered RCTs that will allow questions of effectiveness, maintenance of effects, mechanisms of change and moderators of outcome to be definitively addressed.

description: Although there is evidence of both clinical and personal recovery from distressing voices, the process of recovery over time is unclear. Narrative inquiry was used to investigate 11 voice-hearers' lived experience of recovery. After a period of despair/exhaustion, two recovery typologies emerged: (a) turning toward/empowerment, which involved developing a normalized account of voices, building voice-specific skills, integration of voices into daily life, and a transformation of identity, and (b) turning away/protective hibernation, which involved harnessing all available resources to survive the experience, with the importance of medication in recovery being emphasized. Results indicated the importance of services being sensitive and responsive to a person's recovery style at any given time and their readiness for change. Coming to hold a normalized account of voice-hearing and the self and witnessing of preferred narratives by others were essential in the more robust turning toward recovery typology.
What's really wrong with cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis?

Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 520302
subject: Clinical psychology

description: For persons with medication-refractory psychotic experiences such as auditory hallucinations, a psychological therapy referred to as cognitive behavioral therapy for psychosis (CBTp) has emerged as the standard recommended treatment in clinical practice guidelines (e.g., Kreyenbuhl et al., 2010; National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence [NICE], 2014). However, the past few years have seen impassioned debate regarding the endorsement of CBTp as evidence-based practice, with some arguing that evidence in its favor has been “oversold” (McKenna and Kingdon, 2014). As a follow up to their earlier controversial review (Lynch et al., 2010), which claimed no evidence that CBTp was effective in “well-conducted” trials, a recent meta-analysis by Jauhar et al. (2014) drew the only slightly less pessimistic conclusion that CBTp's therapeutic effect was only in the small range. Coinciding with the continuing recommendation of CBTp for routine provision in the 2014 NICE guidelines, this has led to debates published in several journals, and a flurry of further meta-analyses analysing different permutations of trial characteristics and measures. These meta-analyses have formed the more optimistic conclusions that CBTp shows good effects for hallucinations (van der Gaag et al., 2014), for overall psychotic symptoms in people with persisting symptoms (Burns et al., 2014), and in direct contrasts with other interventions (Turner et al., 2014).

description: Polyherbal formulations are utilized globally due to their health benefits and therapeutic applications. Alsoreferred to as polyherbal therapy or herb-herb combinations, these formulations leverage the advantages ofcombining multiple herbs, offering significant benefits over single-herb remedies and conventionalallopathic medicines. This trend towards herbal drug therapy has gained momentum worldwide, as peopleincreasingly turn to herbal and plant-based medicines for their safety, efficacy, cultural acceptance, andreduced side effects.The growing awareness and understanding of medicinal plants and their applications have contributed tothis shift. Many individuals recognize that natural remedies can be safer and more effective than allopathicdrugs in treating various ailments. Currently, there are over 700 mono- and polyherbal preparationsavailable in clinical practice, presented in various forms such as decoctions, tinctures, tablets, and capsules,derived from more than 100 different plants. Among these, polyherbal syrups are particularly valued fortheir effectiveness and ease of use. This article provides an overview of the latest advancements in thedevelopment and evaluation of polyherbal formulations, particularly in syrup form, and their associatedpharmacological activities.

description: Background: Cognitive behavior therapy for psychosis has been a prominent intervention in the psychological treatment of psychosis. It is, however, a challenging therapy to deliver and, in the context of increasingly rigorous trials, recent reviews have tempered initial enthusiasm about its effectiveness in improving clinical outcomes. Acceptance and commitment therapy shows promise as a briefer, more easily implemented therapy but has not yet been rigorously evaluated in the context of psychosis. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy could reduce the distress and disability associated with psychotic symptoms in a sample of community-residing patients with chronic medication-resistant symptoms. Methods/Design: This is a single (rater)-blind multi-centre randomised controlled trial comparing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with an active comparison condition, Befriending. Eligible participants have current residual hallucinations or delusions with associated distress or disability which have been present continuously over the past six months despite therapeutic doses of antipsychotic medication. Following baseline assessment, participants are randomly allocated to treatment condition with blinded, post-treatment assessments conducted at the end of treatment and at 6 months follow-up. The primary outcome is overall mental state as measured using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale. Secondary outcomes include preoccupation, conviction, distress and disruption to life associated with symptoms as measured by the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales, as well as social functioning and service utilisation. The main analyses will be by intention-to-treat using mixed-model repeated measures with non-parametric methods employed if required. The model of change underpinning ACT will be tested using mediation analyses. Discussion: This protocol describes the first randomised controlled trial of Acceptance and commitment therapy in chronic medication-resistant psychosis with an active comparison condition. The rigor of the design will provide an important test of its action and efficacy in this population.

description: Recent evidence suggests that gut microbiota shifts can alter host metabolism even during healthy aging. Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1, a probiotic strain, has shown promising probiotic character in vitro, as well as in clinical studies. The present study was carried out to investigate whether DDS-1 can modulate the host metabolic phenotype under the condition of age-affected gut microbial shifts in young and aging C57BL/6J mice. Collected fecal samples were analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing for identifying gut microbiota and untargeted gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) metabolomics analysis. Gut microbial shifts were observed in the control groups (young and aging), leading to an alteration in metabolism. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) of microbiota indicated distinct separation in both the DDS-1-treated groups. L. acidophilus DDS-1 increased the relative abundances of beneficial bacteria, such as Akkermansia muciniphila and Lactobacillus spp., and reduced the relative levels of opportunistic bacteria such as Proteobacteria spp. Metabolic pathway analysis identified 10 key pathways involving amino acid metabolism, protein synthesis and metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and butanoate metabolism. These findings suggest that modulation of gut microbiota by DDS-1 results in improvement of metabolic phenotype in the aging mice.

The Hubble constant and dark energy
Creators: name: Mould, Jeremy
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The Hubble constant measured from the anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is shown to be independent of small changes from the standard model of the redshift dependence of dark energy. Modifications of the Friedmann equation to include phantom power (w < -1), textures (w = -2/3), and curvature are considered, and constraints on these dark energy contributors from supernova observations are derived. Modified values for the density of matter inferred from cosmic density perturbations and from the CMB under these circumstances are also estimated, as exemplified by 2dF and SDSS.
Superfluid density and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition of a spin-orbit-coupled Fulde-Ferrell superfluid

description: We theoretically investigate the superfluid density and Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition of a two-dimensional Rashba spin-orbit coupled atomic Fermi gas with both in-plane and out-of-plane Zeeman fields. It was recently predicted that, by tuning the two Zeeman fields, the system may exhibit different exotic Fulde-Ferrell (FF) superfluid phases, including the gapped FF, gapless FF, gapless topological FF and gapped topological FF states. Due to the FF paring, we show that the superfluid density (tensor) of the system becomes anisotropic. When an in-plane Zeeman field is applied along the textit{x}-direction, the tensor component along the textit{y}-direction ns,yy is generally larger than ns,xx in most parameter space. At zero temperature, there is always a discontinuity jump in ns,xx as the system evolves from a gapped FF into a gapless FF state. With increasing temperature, such a jump is gradually washed out. The critical BKT temperature has been calculated as functions of the spin-orbit coupling strength, interatomic interaction strength, in-plane and out-of-plane Zeeman fields. We predict that the novel FF superfluid phases have a significant critical BKT temperature, typically at the order of 0.1TF, where TF is the Fermi degenerate temperature. Therefore, their observation is within the reach of current experimental techniques in cold-atom laboratories.

description: Image Quality Transfer (IQT) aims to enhance the contrast and resolution of low-quality medical images, e.g. obtained from low-power devices, with rich information learned from higher quality images. In contrast to existing IQT methods which adopt supervised learning frameworks, in this work, we propose two novel formulations of the IQT problem. The first approach uses an unsupervised learning framework, whereas the second is a combination of both supervised and unsupervised learning. The unsupervised learning approach considers a sparse representation (SRep) and dictionary learning model, which we call IQT-SRep, whereas the combination of supervised and unsupervised learning approach is based on deep dictionary learning (DDL), which we call IQT-DDL. The IQT-SRep approach trains two dictionaries using a SRep model using pairs of low- and high-quality volumes. Subsequently, the SRep of a low-quality block, in terms of the low-quality dictionary, can be directly used to recover the corresponding high-quality block using the high-quality dictionary. On the other hand, the IQT-DDL approach explicitly learns a high-resolution dictionary to upscale the input volume, while the entire network, including high dictionary generator, is simultaneously optimised to take full advantage of deep learning methods. The two models are evaluated using a low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) application aiming to recover high-quality images akin to those obtained from high-field scanners. Experiments comparing the proposed approaches against state-of-the-art supervised deep learning IQT method (IQT-DL) identify that the two novel formulations of the IQT problem can avoid bias associated with supervised methods when tested using out-of-distribution data that differs from the distribution of the data the model was trained on. This highlights the potential benefit of these novel paradigms for IQT.

description: Bulges are not just elliptical subgalaxies situated in the centers of large spirals, though it might seem so from their ages and chemistry. In fact, bulge kinematics have been known to be different since the first long slit spectra were obtained. M31 presents the best opportunity to investigate all the issues of the stellar populations of bulges. This review collects the array of probing data that has been accumulated during the last decade. But the intriguing question 'how did it form like this?' remains.
Trolling as provocation: YouTube's agonistic publics
Creators: name: McCosker, Anthony
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This article explores the productive role of provocation in YouTube publics in the context of two culturally and geographically situated visual events that took place in New Zealand throughout 2011. Through qualitative analysis of the extensive comments fields for the two videos, the article examines the nature of participatory acts associated with what has been called at different times flaming, hating or trolling. The article argues that such acts can only be properly understood within their cultural and geographic context and in their ability to affect and extend 'agonistic' publics. The analysis addresses online passion, conflict and vitriol through the notion of 'acts of citizenship', as productive forms of provocation.
Social Media Activism at the Margins: Managing Visibility, Voice and Vitality Affects
Creators: name: McCosker, Anthony
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This article is concerned with social media activism at the margins and deals with the problem of managing visibility and voice and the role of affect in the emergence of contested publics over time. While we hear a lot about social media mobilization and exchange during critical and large-scale protest events, less is understood about the capacities for building and maintaining more peripheral dissident publics over longer timeframes. And while platforms such as YouTube have been celebrated (and censored) for their ability to make protest visible through dispersed affective networks, the increasingly commercialized channel structure raises questions about the sustainability of ordinary acts of protest in the long term. This article examines a case study of peripheral anarchist political activism that moves through and beyond critical events. The study applies methods of video content analysis, qualitative analysis of comments and interactions, and visual analysis of selected videos to examine emergent “affective publics,” drawing on Daniel Stern’s notion of vitality affects.
De-framing disaster: affective encounters with raw and autonomous media
Creators: name: McCosker, Anthony
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In recent years, the massive devastation and suffering caused by global-scale disasters has fuelled intense flows of Web-based media and communicative exchange. Where studies of traditional broadcast disaster media have often sought to identify the frames that position victims and viewers, this paper focuses on those forms of emerging media that operate outside of and to some extent work to de-frame institutional coverage through modes of affect. A heightened affectivity can be identified in the modality of 'rawness' that characterizes contemporary social and mobile production of media from zones of disaster. The analysis engages specifically with some key forms of raw media circulating after the Haiti earthquake in 2010. Ultimately, in the context of post-disaster media, new modes of visual witnessing and distributed encounter facilitate the de-framing of disastrous events in a way that tethers global engagement and attention directly to the flow of affect.

description: A reliable comparison of different dark matter searches requires models that satisfy certain consistency conditions like gauge invariance and perturbative unitarity. These conditions can easily be satisfied in U(1)' extensions of the Standard Model, where a fermionic dark matter candidate as well as a new Z' gauge boson obtain their mass from the spontaneous breaking of the U(1)' by a dark Higgs. These dark matter scenarios contain two mediators, the new gauge boson and the dark Higgs, which can also act as final states in dark matter annihilation. I will discuss the general framework of consistent dark matter models with two mediators, and then review a class of dark matter models where baryon number is a local gauge symmetry.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of two Chinese cultural constructs, guanxi (networks) and xinyong (interpersonal trust) in the burgeoning vegetable supply chains. Design/methodology/approach - Data were collected using a validated survey instrument and 520 usable responses were obtained from vegetable farmers in three main vegetable producing provinces of China. Findings - The findings revealed that farmers' guanxi promotes xinyong and collaboration of buyers. It was also determined that xinyong is the key mediator between guanxi and the two outcomes, loyalty and financial performance of farmers. Additionally xinyong influences collaboration of the buyer. Research limitations/implications - This paper offers strategic insights to both academicians and practitioners associated with the vegetable industry regarding enhancement of inter-organisational relationships (loyalty) and financial performance of farmers in China through the embedded concepts of guanxi and xinyong. Originality/value - Despite its potential importance, relatively little is known about these two concepts especially with respect to supply chains of fresh produce.

description: Nowadays, critical information services such as emergency management and in-situation navigation rely heavily on the assumption of a reliable networking infrastructure and stable cloud processing, which is ineffective in infrastructure-less environments where disrupted or even no telecommunication connectivity is the norm. On the other hand, fog computing is an extension of cloud computing that is at the physical proximity of end-users to enable local storage, computing, and various forms of communication between devices and users. To this end, we design a fog system spanning hardware, software and networking, thus meeting the requirements of various stakeholders in difficult surroundings. As a complement to a cloud-centred solution, this system is geo-distributed, self-powered, self-managed, location-aware, highly efficient and able to provide situational information services without Internet connectivity. The proposed system has been implemented in national parklands of Australia to achieve a personalized information service, emergency management and in-park navigation for all types of parkland users.

description: Coral bleaching threatens coral safety and the marine environment. Coral-safe sunscreens are encouraged as a green product to protect coral reefs by many U.S. states and other nations. This study cited key variables from the planned risk information seeking and processing (PRISM) model to explore the connection between risk information behaviors and pro-environmental purchase decisions. We surveyed a sample of 409 U.S. respondents, and employed structural equation modeling for analysis. Results showed that both information seeking and processing were precursors to consumers’ product information seeking during purchasing, thereby impacting the purchase intent of coral-safe sunscreens. Systematic processing is also directly related to the purchase intent. Implications are further discussed.
Saturation Control of a Piezoelectric Actuator for Fast Settling-Time Performance

description: This brief studies fast tracking control of piezoelectric (PZT) actuators. Adverse effects associated with the PZT actuators typically include the nonlinear dynamics of hysteresis and saturation and the linear vibrational dynamics. To eliminate the loss of performance due to these effects, we propose a new control scheme for the PZT actuators. It consists of a combined feedforward/feedback compensator for hysteresis and resonance compensation and a nested switching controller (NSC) that optimizes a quadratic performance cost function involving the actuator saturation. The NSC not only can guarantee the system stability in the presence of saturation but also can improve the tracking speed by efficiently allocating the control efforts. The experimental results on an actual PZT nanopositioner show that the new control scheme outperforms the conventional control by more than 12% in settling time within the full PZT operational range and with nanoscale precision.
The implications of child support for housing after relationship dissolution

description: In this article we investigate the associations between the payment and receipt of child support and housing circumstances of both resident and non-resident parents. We do so by analysing data from Wave 4 of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey. The final analytic sample comprised 1,043 separated parents (637 resident parents, 406 non-resident parents). Our findings indicate that for resident parents the receipt of child support payments above $75 per week was significantly associated with better housing circumstances. By contrast, the payment of child support was not significantly related to housing outcomes for non-resident parents. Overall, our results suggest that resident parents in receipt of child support, particularly above the median amount, live with their children in better housing circumstances than resident parents receiving little or no child support. While this finding makes intuitive sense - money matters - the way in which child support appears to be differentially related to the housing circumstances of resident and non-resident parents warrants further investigation.
Are they being served? Linking consumer expectation, evaluation and commitment

description: The paper's unique contribution is to confirm the rationale for and the benefits of applying constructs from the psychological contract literature to generate deeper insights into the service provider-consumer relationship. Findings confirm the need for providers to target value propositions at particular consumer groups as part of a more sophisticated and nuanced approach to customer segmentation. The paper also recognises possible changes in consumer expectation and how proactive service providers can track and respond to these. The conceptual framework and research propositions generated from it should be tested in organisations representative of transactional, relational and transpersonal service providers to provide deeper insights for researchers and practitioners. Analysis shows how alignment of different types of value proposition with consumer expectations impacts on the nature and level of consumer commitment. Customer commitment can also contribute to service provider reputation and brand equity. The model is developed by the integration of approaches from the marketing, CSR and psychological contract literature and represents a holistic and multi-disciplinary perspective on the service value proposition. The paper develops a conceptual framework to show how service provider value propositions and customer purchase decisions represent the offer and acceptance of types of psychological contract that, if satisfied, result in particular levels of consumer commitment and related attitudinal and behavioural outcomes.
Diaspora charity and welfare sovereignty in the Chinese republic: Shanghai charity innovator William Yinson Lee (Li Yuanxin, 1884–1965)

description: William Yinson Lee (Li Yuanxin), an influential charity innovator, introduced many modern fund-raising techniques into Shanghai from the 1920s to the 1940s, a time of growing foreign intervention in charitable services to China’s poor and disadvantaged. From the late nineteenth century, foreign charities and humanitarian agencies had drawn attention to inequality and injustice in China and tried to remedy them through charitable investments in education, health, and social welfare. These efforts were welcome as substantial support to the needy but unwelcome in drawing international attention to China’s failure to care for its own. Underlying ambivalence toward foreign charities was reflected in efforts to recover China’s welfare sovereignty by Chinese émigrés returning to China from Anglophone settlements around the Pacific Rim. For Lee and his associates in Shanghai, charity served as an entrée into elite social and political circles and as a medium for cross-cultural negotiations, for participating actively in civic life, for promoting trans-Pacific trade, and for recovering welfare sovereignty for modern China.

description: We performed numerical calculations to test the suggestion by Desiati & Lazarian (2013) that the anisotropies of TeV cosmic rays may arise from their interactions with the heliosphere. For this purpose, we used a magnetic field model of the heliosphere and performed direct numerical calculations of particle trajectories. Unlike earlier papers testing the idea, we did not employ time-reversible techniques that are based on Liouville's theorem. We showed numerically that for scattering by the heliosphere the conditions of Liouville's theorem are not satisfied and the adiabatic approximation and time-reversibility of the particle trajectories are not valid. Our results indicate sensitivity to the magnetic structure of the heliospheric magnetic field, and we expect that this will be useful for probing this structure in future research.

description: Spectroscopic observations play essential roles in astrophysics. They are crucial for determining important physical parameters, providing information about the composition of various objects in the universe, as well as depicting motions in the universe. However, spectroscopic studies often do not consider the influence of magnetic fields. In this paper, we explore the influence of magnetic fields on the spectroscopic observations arising from Ground State Alignment (GSA). Synthetic spectra are generated to show the measurable changes of the spectra due to GSA. The influences of atomic alignment on absorption from DLAs, emission from H\,{\sc ii} Regions, submillimeter fine-structure lines from star forming regions are presented as examples to illustrate the effect in diffuse gas. Furthermore, we demonstrate the influence of atomic alignment on physical parameters derived from spectral line ratios, such as the alpha-to-iron ratio([X/Fe]), interstellar temperature, and ionization rate. Results in our paper show that due to GSA, magnetic fields will affect the spectra of diffuse gas with high signal-to-noise(S/N) ratio under the condition that photon-excitation is much more efficient than thermal collision.
