The development of a novel stakeholder-informed body dissatisfaction prevention program for adolescent females : a pilot project
Creators: name: Misener, Kaylee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Dr. Susie Orbach describes body image issues as “a public health emergency.” Negative body image is linked to a myriad of negative health outcomes including eating disorders, depression, low self-esteem, lower levels of physical activity, and obesity (Goldschmidt et al., 2008; Hayden-Wade et al., 2005; Paxton et al., 2006). Body image programs have successfully been delivered to older adolescents, but often address only a narrow range of topics, despite the numerous interacting factors contributing to the development of negative body image. However, the literature suggests that body image issues are typically established by late adolescence (Rohde et al., 2015). Therefore, the present dissertation involved the creation of a multi-faceted body image program, termed BeMyself, targeting female youth aged 12-14, with the aim of preventing body dissatisfaction. The BeMyself program combines empirically established techniques that promote healthy body image with mindfulness, self-compassion, and yoga. The current study consisted of a pilot study to evaluate feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary outcomes, as well a qualitative study to explore stakeholder feedback. The BeMyself program was evaluated in a small sample of adolescent females, who attended eight 60-minute meetings composed of didactic learning, discussion, self-reflection activities, meditation, and yoga. Self-report measures of body image, peer influences, topic integration, and program feedback were completed across three time points. Descriptive statistics and analysis of qualitative survey responses support the acceptability of the program. However, the feasibility of the program was not supported, primarily due to low recruitment and high attrition rates. Qualitative data were then collected from 18 stakeholders via semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis uncovered several key themes across the interviews, including the acceptability and developmental suitability of BeMyself structure and content, and the importance of offering a program like BeMyself to adolescent girls. Finally, the recommended modifications to BeMyself program included enhanced parental involvement, incorporation of the program into the school day, and the dissemination of more informative advertisement packages to aid recruitment. Taken together, this program of research supports the future application of the BeMyself body image program for adolescent girls as an acceptable and promising comprehensive program informed by teachers and families.

description: An accurate knowledge of the fluorescence yield and its dependence on atmospheric properties such as pressure, temperature or humidity is essential to obtain a reliable measurement of the primary energy of cosmic rays in experiments using the fluorescence technique. In this work, several sets of fluorescence yield data (i.e. absolute value and quenching parameters) are described and compared. A simple procedure to study the effect of the assumed fluorescence yield on the reconstructed shower parameters (energy and shower maximum depth) as a function of the primary features has been developed. As an application, the effect of water vapor and temperature dependence of the collisional cross section on the fluorescence yield and its impact on the reconstruction of primary energy and shower maximum depth has been studied.

description: Capturing low-energy electron antineutrinos on radioactive Ho-163 nuclei, which decay into Dy-163 via electron capture (EC), is a noteworthy opportunity to detect relic sterile antineutrinos. Such hypothetical particles are more or less implied by current experimental and cosmological data, and they might be a part of hot dark matter or a candidate for warm dark matter in the Universe. Using the isotope Ho-163 as a target and assuming reasonable active-sterile antineutrino mixing angles, we calculate the capture rate of relic electron antineutrinos against the corresponding EC-decay background in the presence of sterile antineutrinos at the sub-eV or keV mass scale. We show that the signature of hot or warm sterile antineutrino dark matter should in principle be observable, provided the target is big enough and the energy resolution is good enough.

description: Topological phases of matter have revolutionised the fundamental understanding of band theory and hold great promise for next-generation technologies such as low-power electronics or quantum computers. Single-gap topologies have been extensively explored, and a large number of materials have been theoretically proposed and experimentally observed. These ideas have recently been extended to multi-gap topologies with band nodes that carry non-Abelian charges, characterised by invariants that arise by the momentum space braiding of such nodes. However, the constraints placed by the Fermi-Dirac distribution to electronic systems have so far prevented the experimental observation of multi-gap topologies in real materials. Here, we show that multi-gap topologies and the accompanying phase transitions driven by braiding processes can be readily observed in the bosonic phonon spectra of known monolayer silicates. The associated braiding process can be controlled by means of an electric field and epitaxial strain, and involves, for the first time, more than three bands. Finally, we propose that the band inversion processes at the Γ point can be tracked by following the evolution of the Raman spectrum, providing a clear signature for the experimental verification of the band inversion accompanied by the braiding process.

description: We find the full symmetries of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for the Hawking and Page wormhole model and an axion-dilaton string cosmology. We show that the Wheeler-DeWitt Hamiltonian admits an U(1,1) hidden symmetry for the Hawking and Page model and U(2,1) for the axion-dilaton string cosmology. If we consider the existence of matter-energy renormalization, for each of these models we find that the Wheeler-DeWitt Hamiltonian accept an additional SL(2,R) dynamical symmetry. In this case, we show that the SL(2,R) dynamical symmetry generators transform the states from one energy Hilbert eigensubspace to another. Some new wormhole type-solutions for both models are found.

description: We report the arcsecond resolution SMA observations of the $^{12}$CO (2-1) transition in the massive cluster forming region G10.6-0.4. In these observations, the high velocity $^{12}$CO emission is resolved into individual outflow systems, which have a typical size scale of a few arcseconds. These molecular outflows are energetic, and are interacting with the ambient molecular gas. By inspecting the shock signatures traced by CH$_{3}$OH, SiO, and HCN emissions, we suggest that abundant star formation activities are distributed over the entire 0.5 pc scale dense molecular envelope. The star formation efficiency over one global free-fall timescale (of the 0.5 pc molecular envelope, $\sim10^{5}$ years) is about a few percent. The total energy feedback of these high velocity outflows is higher than 10$^{47}$ erg, which is comparable to the total kinetic energy in the rotational motion of the dense molecular envelope. From order-of-magnitude estimations, we suggest that the energy injected from the protostellar outflows is capable of balancing the turbulent energy dissipation. No high velocity bipolar molecular outflow associated with the central OB cluster is directly detected, which can be due to the photo-ionization.

Four examples are provided in order to demonstrate the versatility of our method. These include: European options, up-and-out options, double-barrier knock-out options, and options which pay a rebate upon hitting a boundary. For European options, our method is shown to produce option price approximations which are equivalent to those developed in [5]. [5] Jean-Pierre Fouque, George Papanicolaou, and Sircar Ronnie.

description: This deliverable describes the symbiosis in detail and the situation in the case studies before the start of Ultimate. A special focus is put on the technological units which were already in place before Ultimate and the available flow streams as resources for the new Ultimate solutions. Relevant data of those flow streams were collected in the frame of this deliverable to describe the baseline conditions that existed before the start of Ultimate. They will be used as a basis to quantify the improvements of the case study due to the implementation of the Ultimate circular economy solutions. The results will be presented in the deliverables D1.3 –D1.5 New approaches and best practices for closing the water, energy and material cycles within symbiosis cluster. Furthermore, other work packages (WP), specifically WP2 and WP5, will need those data for their life cycle assessments in D2.2 LCA, cost and risk assessment for WSIS and their KPI tool in D2.5 A KPI Tool for WSIS Performance Assessment as well as for assessing starting conditions and requirements for other potential replication sites in D5.6 Three Ultimate WSIS Integrated Assessments, respectively. The data were collected via excel templates from the case studies. The time period of the presented data comprises usually one full year of operation. The most important data are presented in the paragraphs Detailed description of the technological solution before Ultimate. In the subsequent paragraph Baseline Conditions, those and additional data are presented in more detail showing average, minimum and maximum values for each parameter as well as standard deviations. As an outlook for the expected results from Ultimate, the Ultimate solutions are briefly presented and the planned key performance indicators, which will be used in the upcoming technological deliverables (D1.3-D1.5) to evaluate the performance of the Ultimate solutions are displayed.

Interoperability, FAIR data treatment and training of researchers and data experts are themes that are core to the remit of the Dutch ELIXIR node. In line with these focal points, a significant  part of our training activities can be categorized as “FAIR Data Training”.

Examples are:

	Helis Academy, a project targeting companies in the Life Science sector, that is set out to improve training the skills in Data Analysis & Stewardship for both new staff and existing staff (lifelong learning).

	Working on establishing  the competences and skills for the data stewards in the life-sciences, and develop tailored education.

	FAIR awareness, FAIR metrics and FAIRification trainings on different levels depending on the audience (in collaboration with our funders),

	the ELIXIR Data Stewardship wizard, in collaboration with Czech ELIXIR node

Strongly connected with these training activities are the community building efforts we are undertaking for all of our significant themes (e.g. the national Data Stewards Interest Group), as well as our involvement  in setting up research support desks at the Academic Medical Centres in the Netherlands.

description: With the increase in planned space missions in cislunar space, it is necessary to study the ability of observers to observe and track objects in this regime. This thesis focuses on creating a sensor tasking algorithm for constellations of optical observers to efficiently observe cislunar objects. The circular restricted three body problem is used for the dynamics of the objects while the bi-circular restricted four body problem is used to approximate the position of the sun.A new way of discretizing the field of regard is proposed that respects the observers field of view on the unit sphere. A method for providing feedback to the observer in a delayed feedback environment is applied to mean state, single Gaussian, and particle representations of uncertainty. The method of determining a scaling coefficient for Sanson’s probability of detection is recorded. Sanson’s probability of detection is studied for determining the correct effective aperture dimensions of an optical observer. An approximation is presented for expediting calculations of Sanson’s probability of detection. An uncertainty propagation analysis shows there is an efficient number of particles to use for particle uncertainty far below the required number for a full Monte Carlo particle uncertainty representation. Mean state, single Gaussian and particle methods of uncertainty characterization are compared in a cislunar simulation showing the benefits of the particles solution over other forms of uncertainty characterization. Particles are not only an effective uncertainty representation in a delayed feedback environment, they are computationally feasible for the sensor tasking problem. The performance of the particle algorithm for a constellation of observers is evaluated in a simulated small satellite breakup in a Lyapunov orbit and a simulated breakup of the proposed Lunar Gateway. The performance of observers in direct retrograde, low lunar, geosynchronous, and northern Halo orbits are evaluated in the breakup simulations. Results from these simulations show that observers in low lunar and Halo orbits can be valuable observation standpoints in breakups around the near-Moon region of cislunar space.

description: Due to demographic change, an increase in dementia patients in nursing homes is predicted. The prevention and treatment of dementia patients is time-consuming because the therapy must be individually tailored to the patient’s state of health. As a result of the cost pressure in nursing homes and the shortage of nursing staff, this poses challenges for the nursing area. The use of therapy robots can help to overcome these challenges and strengthen the resilience of elderly people. Previous research has shown that the therapeutic exercises ball throwing, high-five games, and strength exercises are suitable to be supervised and executed by a dementia robot. Essential for the performance and acceptance of such a dementia robot is its interaction capability. Therefore, an adaptive, optimizing, real-time and knowledge based interaction system for the mentioned therapy exercises was researched. This classifies the dementia degree using fuzzy logic and adjusts the exercise parameters with evolutionary algorithms according to the therapy goal. For this purpose, the expert knowledge of caregivers was first collected using a knowledge acquisition and formalized into a knowledge base with a hybrid inference mechanism. A first prototype of the interaction system has already been tested in a real-time robot simulation. After transferring the knowledge-based interaction system to the real dementia robot, it will be evaluated in a test person study.

description: We introduce a new thermochemical kinetics and photochemical model. We use high-temperature bidirectional reaction rates for important H, C, O and N reactions (most importantly for CH$_4$ to CO interconversion), allowing us to attain thermochemical equilibrium, deep in an atmosphere, purely kinetically. This allows ab initio chemical modeling of an entire atmosphere, from deep-atmosphere thermochemical equilibrium to the photochemically dominated regime. We use our model to explore the atmospheric chemistry of cooler ($T_{eff} < 10^3$ K) extrasolar giant planets. In particular, we choose to model the nearby hot Neptune GJ436b, the only planet in this temperature regime for which spectroscopic measurements and estimates of chemical abundances now exist. Recent {\it Spitzer} measurements with retrieval have shown that methane is driven strongly out of equilibrium and is deeply depleted on the dayside of GJ 436b, whereas quenched carbon monoxide is abundant. This is surprising because GJ 436b is cooler than many of the heavily irradiated hot Jovians and thermally favorable for CH$_4$, and thus requires an efficient mechanism for destroying it. We include realistic estimates of ultraviolet flux from the parent dM star GJ 436, to bound the direct photolysis and photosensitized depletion of CH$_4$. While our models indicate fairly rich disequilibrium conditions are likely in cooler exoplanets over a range of planetary metallicities, we are unable to generate the conditions for substantial CH$_4$ destruction. One possibility is an anomalous source of abundant H atoms between 0.01-1 bars (which attack CH$_4$), but we cannot as yet identify an efficient means to produce these hot atoms.
Functional segregation in Parkinson's disease
Creators: name: Pavel, Alexandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder globally, following Alzheimer’s Disease. Numerous proposed mechanisms aim to explain the pathogenesis of this degenerative condition; however, none currently accounts for the selective vulnerability seen in PD. That is, dopaminergic projections to the dorsal and caudal striatum degenerate first and maximally, followed by more rostral and ventral regions. While a caudal to rostral pattern of progression is supported by previous molecular imaging studies, the possibility of an additional dorsal to ventral gradient is less established. If such a gradient exists, one would expect to see initial PD motor symptoms in the lower limbs, based on the somatotopic mapping of the body within the central nervous system, however this is not in keeping with typical clinical observations. Patients often present with initial impairments in the arm or hand, although this could be possibly explained by greater sensitivity to functional deficits involving fine hand dexterity. Furthermore, loss of dopamine may lead to altered signal to noise ratio in striatal projection neurons, reducing somatotopic segregation in the striatum and its connections. Cortico-striatal loops are thought to be segregated according to function (motor, associative, limbic etc.) and body region. Based on studies of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation-evoked dopamine release, it has been suggested that cortical stimulation results in an anatomically broader release of dopamine within the striatum in PD, but of lower magnitude than in the healthy state. The aim of the larger research initiative covered in this thesis was to study the altered striatal plasticity in early-stage PD (less than 5 years duration) and delineate the functional reorganization of dopaminergic projections in PD neurodegeneration. To do this, novel hybrid positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging with [¹¹C]raclopride was utilized to simultaneously assess patterns of dopamine release and striatal activation induced by behavioural tasks involving the various corticostriatal loops in PD and healthy control subjects. The primary focus of this thesis was on a subset of these tasks specifically designed to activate the sensorimotor pathway; finger and foot tapping tasks.

description: We propose a multi-scale stochastic volatility model in which a fast mean-reverting factor of volatility is built on top of the Heston stochastic volatility model. A singular pertubative expansion is then used to obtain an approximation for European option prices. The resulting pricing formulas are semi-analytic, in the sense that they can be expressed as integrals. Difficulties associated with the numerical evaluation of these integrals are discussed, and techniques for avoiding these difficulties are provided. Overall, it is shown that computational complexity for our model is comparable to the case of a pure Heston model, but our correction brings significant flexibility in terms of fitting to the implied volatility surface. This is illustrated numerically and with option data.

description: Introduction: In Ireland, people seeking asylum (displaced people) receive accommodation in a system called “Direct Provision” (DP) while they wait for their applications for protection to be processed. The living conditions of DP have been described as illegal and inhumane by national and international human rights groups, and the system exacerbates the social exclusion of displaced people. Community responses to DP by displaced people and resident/nationals of Ireland include the creation of informal groups called community solidarity initiatives (CSI), through which cross-group friendships are forged by participation in shared cultural activities. We hypothesized that, compared to non-CSI participants, participants of CSI would report more cross-group friendships, and that more cross-group friendships would predict stronger collective action intentions to support the campaign to end DP, especially among resident/nationals. Methods: We recruited residents/nationals and displaced persons with and without CSI experience to complete a self-report questionnaire (n = 199), measuring cross-group friendship, collective action intentions, and intergroup attitudes. Data were collected between July 2020 and March 2021, using a combination of online and paper surveys. We conducted ANOVA and conditional process analyses on the data to test our hypotheses. Results: As predicted, CSI participants reported more contact with cross-group friends and stronger collective action intentions than non-participators. Conditional process analysis indicated that CSI participation facilitated resident/nationals’ political solidarity with displaced people through cross-group friendship. Discussion: Findings identify the role of group membership in the relationship between contact and collective action for migrant justice, illustrating the potential of CSI to bolster intergroup solidarity and social cohesion through shared activities and cross-group friendship. As such, findings make an important contribution to the literature on intergroup contact, solidarity, and social cohesion, and will be relevant for community practitioners, civil society organisations, NGOs, and policy makers

description: Long-period variables (LPVs) and Miras are highly evolved stars at the upper region of the asymptotic giant branch. They exhibit a pronounced variability of their luminosity with a more or less well defined period and suffer large mass loss in the form of stellar winds. Due to this extensive mass loss, LPVs and Miras are surrounded by extended circumstellar dust shells (CDSs). The dynamics of these envelopes is the result of a complex interplay via an external excitation by the pulsating central star, dust formation and radiative transfer. Our study is aimed at an understanding of the dynamics of CDSs around carbon-rich, standard luminous LPVs and Miras. These shells often show multiperiodicity with secondary periods as high as a few 10^4 d superimposed on a main period which is in the range of approximately 10^2-10^3 d. Such secondary periods may be caused at least in part by the presence of dust. We consider an excitation of the CDSs by either a harmonic force, provided by the oscillation of the central star, or by a stochastic force with a continuous power spectrum. The resulting numerically computed dynamical behaviour of the shell is analysed with the help of Fourier analysis and stroboscopic maps. CDSs may be described as multioscillatory systems which are driven by the pulsating stars. A set of normal modes can be identified. The obtained periods of these modes are of the order of some 10^3 d, which is a characteristic timescale for dust nucleation, growth and elemental enrichment in the dust formation zone. Depending on the oscillation period and strength of the central star, the envelope reacts periodically, multi- periodically or irregularly.

description: Motivated by recent examples of three-dimensional lattice Hamiltonians with massless Dirac fermions in their (bulk) spectrum, I revisit the problem of fermion doubling on bipartite lattices. The number of components of the Dirac fermion in a time-reversal and parity invariant d-dimensional lattice system is determined by the minimal representation of the Clifford algebra of $d+1$ Hermitian Dirac matrices that allows a construction of the time-reversal operator with the square of unity, and it equals $2^d$ for $d=2,3$. Possible mass-terms for (spinless) Dirac fermions are listed and discussed. In three dimensions there are altogether eight independent masses, out of which four are even, and four are odd under time reversal. A specific violation of time-reversal symmetry that leads to (minimal) four-component massless Dirac fermion in three dimensions at low energies is constructed.

Beyond security and surveillance : analyzing emergency department factors and responses to aggression and violence using an equity lens
Creators: name: Cater, Caitlyn M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: This analysis aims to understand Emergency Department [ED] responses to varying forms of aggression and violence, and the implications these responses have for patients, nurses, and healthcare organizations. Through a secondary analysis of data collected from patients and staff in the EQUIP Emergency study, this thesis contributes to expanding understandings of (a) the contextual factors that contribute to the development of aggression and violence in EDs, (b) the organizational and structural responses to aggression and violence in EDs, including security surveillance strategies and (c) the potential impacts on patients experiencing various forms of health and social inequities. Results: Insights gained from analyzing patient survey responses, interviews with ED staff, and field notes collected by research assistants highlighted how aggression and violence tend to develop through various intersecting individual, organizational- and structural-level contributing factors. Patients may become stressed and frustrated in the ED if they feel their basic needs are not met, their health concerns are not addressed, or they experience stigma, discrimination, or racism. Meanwhile, staff expressed concerns in interviews that many institutional barriers exist that restrict them from meeting their patients’ needs, including staffing shortages and lack of resources. To add complexity to the situation, the ED serves as a part of the social safety net for some people whose needs cannot be met by community resources. Despite the complex, intersecting factors that contribute to the development of aggression and violence, current ED responses are one-dimensional and tend to place the responsibility on individual staff members to manage responses to perceived aggression or violence. Thus, this thesis argues that response strategies must be implemented simultaneously at the individual, organizational and structural levels to effectively respond to aggression and violence. Recommendations: Insights gained from this analysis were used to inform recommendations on how EDs might respond to aggression and violence in a more equity-oriented manner to improve patients’ and staff members’ experiences in EDs. Key recommendations include the prioritization of structural level response strategies and the importance of an explicit focus on reducing stigma and discrimination throughout all levels of response strategies.

description: It has recently been suggested that the presence of a plenitude of light axions, an Axiverse, is evidence for the extra dimensions of string theory. We discuss the observational consequences of these axions on astrophysical black holes through the Penrose superradiance process. When an axion Compton wavelength is comparable to the size of a black hole, the axion binds to the black hole "nucleus" forming a gravitational atom in the sky. The occupation number of superradiant atomic levels, fed by the energy and angular momentum of the black hole, grows exponentially. The black hole spins down and an axion Bose-Einstein condensate cloud forms around it. When the attractive axion self-interactions become stronger than the gravitational binding energy, the axion cloud collapses, a phenomenon known in condensed matter physics as "Bosenova". The existence of axions is first diagnosed by gaps in the mass vs spin plot of astrophysical black holes. For young black holes the allowed values of spin are quantized, giving rise to "Regge trajectories" inside the gap region. The axion cloud can also be observed directly either through precision mapping of the near horizon geometry or through gravitational waves coming from the Bosenova explosion, as well as axion transitions and annihilations in the gravitational atom. Our estimates suggest that these signals are detectable in upcoming experiments, such as Advanced LIGO, AGIS, and LISA. Current black hole spin measurements imply an upper bound on the QCD axion decay constant of 2 x 10^17 GeV, while Advanced LIGO can detect signals from a QCD axion cloud with a decay constant as low as the GUT scale. We finally discuss the possibility of observing the gamma-rays associated with the Bosenova explosion and, perhaps, the radio waves from axion-to-photon conversion for the QCD axion.

description: While axions seem ubiquitous in critical string theories, whether they might survive in any string theoretic description of nature is a difficult question. With some mild assumptions, one can frame the issues in the case that there is an approximate supersymmetry below the underlying string scale. The problem of axions is then closely tied to the question of how moduli are fixed. We consider, from this viewpoint, the possibility that supersymmetry is broken at an intermediate scale, as in "gravity mediation," at a low scale, as in gauge mediation, and at a very high scale, to model the possibility that there is no low energy supersymmetry. Putative mechanisms for moduli fixing can then be systematically classified, and at least for intermediate and high scale breaking, light axions appear plausible. In the course of this work, we are lead to consider aspects of moduli fixing and supersymmetry breaking, and we revisit the possibility of very large extra dimensions.

description: This thesis presents the results of the study performed on the behavior of bolted spliceconnections for Concrete Filled Composite Plate Shear Walls. As a part of an experimentalprogram, two large-scale specimens employing two different types of fasteners: (i) Hollo-Boltblind bolts, and (ii) threaded rods with pipe sleeves were designed, built, and tested at the BowenLaboratory. The specimens were subjected to monotonic loading to examine the behavior andcapacity of the proposed connection types. From the results obtained in the experiments it couldbe suggested that the proposed connections are an effective method to connect C-PSW/CFs andcould be a valuable alternative to Complete Joint Penetration (CJP) welding.
Examining the relationship between borderline personality disorder traits and suicide desire through the lens of the Three-Step Theory
Creators: name: Dixon-Luinenburg, Titania

description: The present study used the Three Step Theory of Suicide (3ST) to explain the association between BPD traits and suicide desire. The 3ST states that pain and hopelessness cause suicide desire, and that the extent to which pain exceeds connectedness determines the intensity of suicide desire. The ability of these premises to explain elevated suicide desire in BPD was examined in 852 participants, including 456 with histories of suicide ideation or attempts. BPD traits, current suicide desire, pain, hopelessness, and connectedness were measured using validated self-report questionnaires. Consistent with step 1 of the 3ST, pain and hopelessness explained most of the association between BPD traits and suicide desire. Consistent with step 2, the association between BPD and intensity of suicide desire was fully accounted for by a pain-connectedness difference score. In a simpler model, pain, hopelessness, and connectedness reduced the correlation between BPD and suicide desire from r=.41 to r𝚙=.08. This research improves our understanding of why people with BPD traits experience suicide desire and informs the development of treatment and prevention strategies.
